lucid

#309 - FILD/DEILD - 5:41AM

I awaken from some dream where I was trying to find my car. I remember to try FILD but for some reason I interlocked my fingers and placed my hands on my chest. I used only the index finger of my right hand to tap. I am not sure if FILD worked as an anchor or if I was already set up to DEILD but it was only a few seconds before I felt vibes. My hands became extremely uncomfortable and with effort I pushed my hands out in front of me and slowly got out of bed. I think of goals but the dream is super unstable so I begin rubbing my hands as I wander around.

I find myself in the kitchen and there is a woman who looks a lot like my wife's boss. She's wanting me to make coffee. I am not sure if she told me to do it or if I just knew that's what she wanted, but that's what I began doing. I told myself to just play along and go for the ride while I wait for stability. Basically, I was fully lucid but I gave up most of the dream control and just watched the scene play out.

I have some sort of stove top peculator and electric coffee maker hybrid on the stove. I fumble with a filter and the grounds. I pull up the water and realize I am loading a metallic carafe. I quickly switch to a glass one. She's already trying to get a cup of coffee but it's just starting. I say something about it being super strong but she can just add some hot water to dilute it. Suddenly, the dream fades out and I partially awaken.

I go back into DEILD mode and the vibrations start right away. I decide to wait a little while hoping the dream will come to me without my having to struggle so much to stabilize. Sadly, I quickly lose lucidity and have a false awakening.

I am in bed but I am doing either a podcast or a radio show. I only hear the audio but I am having a conversation with the woman from my kitchen and some man that sounds a lot like John B. Wells. The woman was talking about her version of the dream. She says there was so much poop on the floor and I was having a hard time keeping up with her coffee drinking. I figure the poop part was only in her version but the coffee making was a connection. I shout out, “COFFEE! THAT'S A HIT!” The man starts talking over me but I jump in again, “SHARED DREAMING! WE DID IT! THAT'S A HIT!” I calm down a bit now. “Wouldn't you say that we were in the same dream?”
The woman says something like she thinks maybe it was but she's not sure.
I ask, “Will you do me a favor? Write it all down in detail and...”
The man starts talking over me again asking the woman some unrelated question. She replies to him totally ignoring me.
I become desperate. I feel like this was a signification dream exchange and they aren't seeing it. I beg, “Guys... PLEASE.” The dream fades and I wake up.

Regular= Non-lucid Bold=Lucid

I am coming down from the cafeteria, to the band room, only to see that we are eating at a Taco Bell inside the school. I sit down and talk with my friends, noticed in particular my girlfriend and Joe(freind) Then, my youth pastor, who sometimes comes to our lunch and talks to us kids says come outside were doing something different. So we all go outside and it's like sunset. This really annoying sub says you guys can't go out more than 100 meters from the school because it's late. So everybody goes inside except for a few. I stay out with 2 friends and hang. Then the lights go out. I try to get in the door but nobody is inside. Then I hear a snarl. A stray dog is baring its teeth and looking straight at me. I think, this is a dream! I try to stop the dog with dream control but I can't. It charges me jumps and just like hits the force field. Then I go inside, but I wake up sleeping in the office chair mumbling stuff in a lull like, " gotta remember this is a dream!" Then I think oh yeah I'm dreaming. A kid pokes out from my stairwell and says hi and I ignore him. I just immerse myself in my house, Feeling the blankets and walls and carpet. The I go in the kitchen and see a whole bunch of pills. I think to myself, if I take these pills I will turn into a centaur. But right as I'm about to take it my brother jumps out and scares me. I lose lucidity. Then I go and have this weird feeling that I need to write my dream down even though I was just lucid. While righting it down I couldn't think and I had another false awakening. Then I really woke up.






Notes: my third lucid dream so I'm really excited! I stabilized and almost used dream control... But that false awakening was weird. I've had them before but I just like woke up still thinking I was in that place and muttering I need to remember this is a dream.

Last night I dreamed and I could remember my dreams clearly (or more clearly than yesterday).

Dream 1
The dream was about a mummy of some kind, their was a sphere like a movie about a mummy (where you are finding one or defeating one). The surroundings were a combination between a neighborhood I know and Egypt (bit like Aladin). We were with a team of four, trying to defeat the mummy. There was a boy with special powers, the main character, lets call him A (because he has no name XD). Than there was my sister, she was just part of the team and last a boy who was kind of our guide through the Egypt/familiar neighborhood territory, lets call him B. And of course I was there as a team member
We were running in streets to get to a battle field. and the battle field was also a mix between a 'lake' I know and Egypt. A was fighting of the mummy.

Dream 2
I was in a really big house. It was a mixture of my aunts home and an unfamiliar home. Four friends were their, that I knew by name, but there were more friends, but I couldn't remember their names. And only my uncle and nephew were there (not my aunt).
One friend, Elianne and I were going to get food for us (everybody there). It was raining really hard, but we still went cycling. We didn't get wet or even cold. I can't remember or I didn't dream the cycling ride or picking up the food. I remember just getting our bikes and getting back with loads of food. We went inside and got the food to the table. *

Fragment 1 of dream 2
I think my dreamed about the food on the table etc. and than all of the sudden I was seeing a discussion or in a discussion with my uncle and father aobut a fesival were you dress like a character of book/movie/series or just fantasy creature. My uncle said he liked the festival. We went their, but I can only remember the sandy parking lot.

Lucid?
I can't remember for sure, but I think I was lucid for just 'a couple of seconds'. Because when I walked into the house after we gone and got the food, my glasses fogged up (don't know if you say it like this), because of the warmth and cold difference. I remember thinking, this has to be a dream, because there was no cold and there is no warmth and everything looks kind of off. But then I didn't do anything and just dreamed the dream.
I where glasses (or lenses) IRL, that is not a dream sign or anything weird...!

The following I wrote after I dreamed this and woken myself up and wrote these 2 dreams and fragment down. After that I went back to sleep again and when I woke up 1 1/2 hour later I wrote this down:

Fragment 2
I was with my friend Elianne and we were shopping in a shop that looked like a store I knew, but that store isn't a supermarket, but the store just sold food. I was not in school (I am not in school right now, we have vacation, but I don't have to go to school anymore, because I just have to learn for my exams and in couple of weeks I will take those exams), but apparently every other student in the store (a lot of people I know and are in my class) including Elianne were in school. I bought something in the end, but I never got something of the racks or really looked at any products with the thought of wanting to buy them. Elianne bought cookies and than somehow my other friend, Jessy, was also there. And she bought candy that I believe she doesn't like IRL, but I like a lot.
After that I bumped into another classmate/friend Lauren and she was with other people who are friends of me, but I couldn't see them clearly. Lauren asked me something about a series we both watch and I answered her and she walked away, but I don't know what she asked or what I answered. It was like the sound was set on mute for a minute.

After I paid I left my friends and roller-bladed home, don't know were I got my roller blades, but I had them on. I found my sister and a good friend of her talking to a woman with four kids. One of the kids a girl was 'picking' my sisters bike, it was weird. My sister wanted to lift her up, but I said she shouldn't do that. She did it anyway, so I took the girl from her and put it next to the mother. The girl looked different, she was really 'bird' like and had red hair and a lot of freckles. My sister and her friend left and I was left alone with the woman and the children. She told me she didn't like me picking up her child. I told her I would not ever do that, but my sister was dangerously picking her up, so I had to take the child and carry her to you. My sister was standing with her bike, she could have fallen. The woman agreed with me. I walked, or skated, with the woman around the neighborhood and than went home.

This was another broken sort of recall. I can't remember a whole lot before I got lucid, but I still managed to do so, so I'm happy!

I dream I'm in a house, and this house's interior is actually quite large. It looks like it could quite easily hold nearly two-hundred people. There is a large "ball room" for lack of better term, and there are tables and people all over partying and having a good time. My friends are dancing and partaking in a very odd game, which involves you driving a cart across a track and then smashing into a wall(yeah I'm as confused as you are).

Rather than partake in that, I leave the room and go out into the hall. There're many rooms all around the area, so I decide to investigate. I look around for awhile, until I walk into a bedroom where my three or four friends are sitting around. The only two I know were there for sure were my friends Jason and Robert. The other two were possibly my friends Zaine and Brad. Anyway, they were looking at Magic: The Gathering cards together, and as I acknowledge them I realize am dreaming. I now leave the room and explore the house until I awake. Unfortunate, but it was still quite the short gap between lucids for me in awhile.

April 27, 2014: FIRST LUCID DREAM: Last night after going to bed (in real life) we received a late night phone call. After getting back in bed and reciting my mantra “I will have a lucid dream tonight” I fell asleep for real.

In my dream I had yet to fall asleep after the phone call and was merely laying in bed thinking, when I grew concerned that my wife may have shut off the wall switch that controlled the power to my bedside lamp. Without getting out of bed, I tested this by pushing the switch on the lamp several times and indeed, it did not come on. This meant that if I needed the light to write in my dream journal later on, I’d have to get out of bed to turn the wall switch on, which I did not want to do as it would risk my recall. In my dream, I got out of bed and flipped the wall switch to “ON”. The bedside lamp did not come on...but this was possible because I wasn’t sure how many times I’d flipped the switch on the bedside lamp. All of this felt totally real. Hyper-real, in fact.

As I made my way by habit and feel from the wall switch near the bedroom door back to bed, I started to sense a growing anxiety or dread about being in our bedroom in the dark. I tried to turn the bedside lamp on, but it wouldn’t come on even though I had just assured myself it should come on because the wall switch power was definitely on. I appeared to be trapped in the dark, and in my dream I started to get anxious. I started to sense there was something wrong...something amiss...but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. I desperately wanted the light to come on, but had exhausted all possible remedies and didn’t know what to do next.

As my anxiety grew over the perplexing malfunctioning of the light, I had the realization...I’m DREAMING!!! This is a DREAM! That’s why the light switches don’t work! And of course...the excitement of being aware of the fact that I was experiencing my first lucid dream caused me to awake. The hyper-real experience of the dream and the joy I felt at having succeeded in having my first LD (no matter how short!) made this a most auspicious occasion!

Dream
Lucidity

I had gone back to the prison to get or do something. I went to Master Control and C. Sanchez was working there. A few officers were escorting an inmate and he kicks on of them so I jump in to take him down but everyone jumps in also so I can't really do much.The inmate gets up and then starts talking reckless to me so I was about to beat him up but officers start defending him and I even have to slam a black officer to the ground cus he was so aggressive. I leave A building and I'm in the parking lot. I try looking for my car but can't find it. I try not to run because of my shin injuries but do it anyways and nothing hurts. I get past traffic and I'm walking down the street. A girl passes me and I ask for a ride but she says no so I keep walking back to my house. I think I might be dreaming and count my fingers.
Everything starts feeling more real and I count 10 fingers on one hand. I start running and, remembering a hint to increase lucidity a guy on the forums gave me, slap my hands together. I then rub them and yell "Increase lucidity!" and everything becomes more clear. As I walked I looked at the ground and thought of what to do. I thought maybe explore the dream but didn't.
I lose lucidity and keep walking. I was in Venezuela now and walking on Avenida Victoria. I remember seeing my multitool on the floor by some trashbins and picking it up.

Journal Entry Lucid #30 Dream,Lucid, (Comments)
Background:I meditated before going to sleep. I told myself I could have a LD but it is ok if I don't have one just as long as I could remember my dream. I wasn't as confident since I have slacked for a couple of days.

I was in my school next to Biological place. I see Elvis as I talk to an old man about the devil. I then see another Elvis.

I realized it was a dream. I started rubbing my hands and it went to the VIOD again! I said not this time. I started to swing my arms back and forth and I started to will a scene. I didn't know what I was going to get though. I then lifted my hands with rage and I see a rainbow screen like the one you get on stations that are not working temporarily. I am in my room. I thought I might have woken up, before emotions could get to me I did a quick RC. Noseplug and kept on going. My television was turned on. It was as though my eyes were looking through a 90s camera. I see me as a kid and my sister. We were picture perfect. She was wearing a jacket that she once loved. (When I brought it up in real life she remembered the jacket) . I have a camera on my hands. I see me and my sister not caring about the world enjoying life. I envied myself. I then woke up in the dream and lost lucidity. I didn't wake up right away after that so I forgot some details.

Dream fragment 2 time 5:15am-6:40am"":
Dream was about being in the desert and I am magneto running from Sebastian Shaw. Shaw is having his fun making nukes in the desert. Since dream is long I will shorten it up just for the lucid. So I was in a bar when I was informed that Sebastian has sent some men to go after me. I flew out and levitated next to a car junk yard. I looked down realized that I am flying and concluded

it was a dream. His gang came in convertibles. I see a car beneath me. I levitated up and I toss it at the convertibles. This was the first time I levitated a car but since I didn't think about how difficult it would have been it felt easy. I then started throwing car after car. I then thought why am I wasting my time throwing cars. I landed and got inside a sports car. I looked around environment changed a bit. I am now in the heart of the desert, no other cars around me but one. I didn't care, it looked cool when I drove off. I didn't need keys for the car to go too. It started up and I went as fast as I can. I look at back mirror and I see the trial of dust I am leaving. I kept on driving. I looked down for maybe a second looking at the car seating. I get out and I am inside my neighborhood. I decide to fly again. I realized that the environment was getting too bright. The clouds were shining and the sun was half the sky. I started to fly fast around neighborhood. I see the objects as elongated images before I reach them. It was trippy. Environment still getting brighter, I though I might wake up. I then charged at the sun as a challenge. I thought you can't wake me up. I flew faster and faster and everything started getting blurry and I woke up. I guess that is what I get.

I Challenge You to a Game of Ping-Pong!....After We Clean This Table (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I love how I wanted to play ping-pong instead of trying to extract some information from my mind for something to apply to waking life. But nope, spent the whole dream trying to clean a table to play ping-pong, only for someone to intervene and stop the whole endeavor.

I believe I’m wearing a yellow sweater with black horizontal stripes that were probably 2-3 inches tall, and probably had a white dress shirt underneath the sweater since there was a white collar popping out and folded around my neck. I’m also wearing basic blue jeans, and probably brown lace-less shoes as well.

I’m inside a classroom, and it seems there’s going to be quite some time before class starts, and I’m sitting down by a large rectangular desk that seems to be formatted like a mini Ping-Pong table, but there was a few items that cluttered the area. I challenged someone to play Ping-Pong, and I believe he looked like a classmate I had for Geography Pre-AP/K-level in High School; let’s nickname him “S.”
“S” accepts the challenge, but we have to clean the table first. I’m frantically trying to remove anything on the table, even if it’s just thrown to the floor. From black backpacks to binders and other small items, we managed to clear the table. Then the next thing was to find some paddles and a few Ping-Pong balls, and as I’m turning to the right side of what’s behind me, I find some paddles and a few Ping-Pong balls near me. I think the balls were levitating, conveniently within my reach, and the same probably goes for the paddles as well.

I never bothered to question the logic of how they just somehow magically appeared, I just had an insane urge to play Ping-Pong. Unfortunately, just as I was about to initiate a game, it seems an individual that looks like a teacher for the class intervenes, and we immediately stopped what we were doing.

Parody About a Commander (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I’m inside a house that’s similar to one I’ve been in waking life, and this dream was probably correlated with the one with Lucy Liu. For some reason, the landlords who were Asian in waking life just seemed coincidental that I would be in this particular house, and have the other dream come at some point.

I can see the house in full detail, and had a little trouble at times distinguishing if this really is a dream, or waking life. I start getting weird moments where I’m in a different environment talking to a girl wearing a red shirt, and blue jeans. She’s wearing glasses, has blonde hair, and looks a lot like one of the workers I used to interact with. Then I see a 3D model of some old man wearing your generic commander uniform, and he looks a bit like George W. Bush in some way.

There’s some text scrolling down, and it was some kind of parody for someone, most likely the commander in the still image that the text was on top of. Even though I can’t recall the text word for word, I do know it was very funny to me.

Trying to Give Lucy Liu the World (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I’m watching two people swimming underwater, and they seem to be looking for something under the massive pile of debris. I seem to have mostly viewed this dream in a spectator point of view through first person perspective looking at two people interacting with each other.

Sometimes I feel as if there’s a fluctuation in one of the dream character’s form: It’s either the form of Slade from Teen Titans, or myself wearing a red long sleeved shirt with khaki pants.

The other individual looks like Lucy Liu with her hair tied back, and the male is following her, I guess. There’s not much going on other than them continuing to swim, but then there’s a moment where the male tries to go up to the lady, braces his chest against her back, and starts hugging her while declaring:

“I can give you the world.”

She gets herself away from him, and they both continue swimming. I believe at this point, or maybe throughout the dream, I started to crack bad jokes at this Lucy Liu dream character, and I had a strange feeling that I did it to cope with the possibility that we may very well be the only people in existence within the dream; kind of like a post-apocalyptic implication, I guess.

Brakes Don't Work, Met a Dinosaur, High School Pep Rally (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I’m driving around, and things seem to go just fine for a bit. The usual traffic, stopping and going. Then after a while, I have trouble trying to use the brakes, and I already seemed to have past two red traffic lights. I noticed that there were a few police vehicles dormant in random areas, almost as if they’re trying to meet their quota or something.

However, despite of being close to them, they didn’t use their sirens at all. Maybe how I perceived what should’ve been a sensation of a vehicle stopping via brakes was messed up, or the cars themselves didn’t really have anyone inside to try and get me for driving past several red traffic lights. The environment seemed to be a fairly dark afternoon, with the clouds covering whatever bright lighting there is above.

I decided to let go of the gas pedal, and just do whatever was necessary to avoid colliding with other vehicles, which wasn’t a problem at all. I stopped, got out of the vehicle, and the dream seems to have shifted to where I’m not inside a fairly enclosed hallway. It feels like walking through a museum that’s trying to emulate a tropical rainforest setting.

I see there’s some people looking around, gazing at whatever features this section has. I noticed there’s a huge, and live dinosaur to the right of me. I was shocked for a few seconds, only to have the feeling subside when people seem to be petting it as if it’s no harm at all. It had light brown skin, and seemed to be very long laterally. It had a weird head shape, and I can’t remember the specific name of this kind of dinosaur.

After passing through this section, I go through an open door with a bright white light, and I’m shifted into an environment that looks like a High School pep rally. I look for some seats by the bleachers inside, and I felt apathetic about being here in the first place. Everything just seemed so pretentious, just like how most pep rallies were conceptualized to me in school in general.

I can’t really recall what happens next, and I don’t really mind not knowing.

Writing a title for someone (DILD)

Too lazy to elaborate on this dream:
>Sitting down at a higher section of a school building
>Someone tells me I don’t have a title for something
>They request I come up with a title for them
>”Avalanche” “Raging” and some other words I somehow tried to intertwine are used

Navigating Faron Woods with someone (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I’m in an environment that resembles Faron Woods in TLOZ: Twilight Princess, most specifically the area where Wolf Link and Midna go inside the house where the guy who sells lamp oil resides (except the dream wasn’t the dark, twilight version of the area).

There’s someone that seems to pitch in my navigation through these woods, and it seems he materializes himself somehow, or just came out of nowhere from mid-air, and lands on the floor. He’s wearing a dark gray shirt along with a light gray hoodie, and faded black jeans that has a few chalky areas. He’s has a light brown complexion, and he seems like he knows where we, or at least he needs to go.

Looking for Phil from Hey Arnold (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I’m looking at a series of buildings, and I presume the environment has a New York City kind of setting to it. I see a vehicle pass by, and immediately stops at a building that seems to be open. There’s a sepia tone overlay in the dream in the initial stages until there’s a dream shift.

I’m looking at things from first person perspective, and I’m walking with a female that’s my relative in waking life. This looks like a store that sells all sorts of things, and the overall color scheme is kind of dull, and doesn’t really highlight any major features of the store. It seems kind of run down in a few areas, and before we turn right, I glanced over to the area in front of me that looks like where the cashier would be located.

I see a few items that are levitating, and the first one that attracts me is one that looks like a vanilla milkshake with cherry on top. I believe the female relative was discussing something with me, but I didn’t bother to pay too much attention to her, or maybe what she declared was to prompt me to go to another area of the store.

We navigating through the area, and I noticed several dream characters that looked like individuals in waking life where I worked. One was a Hispanic man with a black mustache wearing a hair net, and he seems to be operating near a seafood section. The flooring seems to have some subtle leaks of water, and other unknown liquids as well, and there’s pipes that seem to be disconnected, and very loose as well.

It seems our objective is to find if Phil from Hey Arnold! is still operating this store. I seem to be really into this occurring, and continued to watch the mental projection of myself searching for this individual.

Our trip abruptly is finished when the female relative told me that he doesn’t seem to be here at all, and even added that he probably died.

Fight Fire with Fire (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I’m navigating back and forth between two settings in the dream, one where I’m outside within a snowy environment, and the other is going inside a building that looks like some large cathedral, or huge fighting stage.

I’m with Reyn from Xenoblade Chronicles, and a few more dream characters I can’t recall too well on.

We’re trying to defeat some kind of fire demon, and his minions of knights in black-armor with silver trimming. Apparently, every time I seem to mess up in how we go about defeating these entities, I just have to exit the building, come back, and the enemies’ position is reset, or they prepare to go back to their initial point inside the building.

One of those attempts at fighting them involved me using some kind of green sword that’s implied as “Earth Sword,” and I’m frantically slashing my way through the demon, and his minions, but it doesn’t seem to do much damage. I keep going until I finally stepped back, went for cover, and contemplated on what could be the weakness for all of them.

Somehow, I’m informed through visual cues within this state of being that a bow and arrow that seemed to have been of a fire element, at least based from its red color with some orange at the end, could be used to defeat them. I didn’t really question why a fire-element, or implied as fire-based weapon would stand a chance against a demon that also seems to be fire-based.

I shoot an arrow at one of the guards, and I see this through looking myself over the shoulder, but still feeling the sensations of using the weapon, and it explodes on one of his minions with ease. I get more confident, and started to take them down one by one. The dream shifts to where I’m facing the fire demon, and it seems the bow and arrow can also serve as some kind of sword as well.

I had to let the fire demon attack on the weapon I’m using, because the weapon can absorb the energy of the fire demon, and once it (the weapon) reached its maximum capacity, I simply have to redirect this energy back to the demon.

However, it took a few tries to realize the weapon had a maximum capacity before I would start taking damage, and I would see this through the Life points meter HUD portrayed on the top left corner of how I perceived the dream.

It seemed that I could do up to 10k+ damage on the demon, and would have to repeat it several times, seeing how his HP after several repetitions with the tactic done to absorb and throw his energy back at him was at least 80,000.

I'm a Sniper (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I’m a sniper, I’m shooting random people without a scope, and everyone else doesn’t seem to bother at all. I have to reload every now and then as if I were reloading a machine gun, and there’s not much to elaborate on for this dream because I didn’t really experience anyone dying.

Almost Had Sex with Math Tutor and a Manager (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I enter a room, and there’s an older lady that’s sitting down on a rotatable chair, you know, the fluffy black ones on wheels. She’s typing with her left hand, and seems to be fairly busy. I sit down on a bed, or at least it felt as if I was sitting on one, seeing how it was very comfortable, and I had the urge to lay down.

The lady looked like she was in her 50s, wore glasses, had a black and white dress shirt that had some abstract formatting, and she wore long milky manila pants. I think she starts engaging in conversation with me, and even though I can’t remember what she specifically stated to me, I felt as if she was trying to be verbally sexual.

I shrug it off, and wanted to wait until she wasn’t so busy. And as I’m waiting, I look to my left, and I see someone that looks like a manager I talked to occasionally. She had the same short blonde hair, a cheeky visage where they’re (the cheeks) are closer to her eyes, and she’s wearing a black and white dress shirt as well (in a different formatting no doubt). I think she was wearing dark brown pants, or some dark-colored pants, and she seemed to have fixated on me through peripheral vision while she was talking to someone else.

She (let's call her "H" so I know which one she is in waking life) was within the same proximity as the other lady, and I started getting mixed feelings about what may happen. But seeing how the environment looked like it was a half-bedroom, half-office/working area, I kept making the presumption that they could just be here to inform me on something, without any kind of sexual advances to be performed after.

But I kept getting that nagging feeling, and it just felt awkward trying to hold in sexual urges, even though it was just a dream, and could’ve spiraled into a sexual descent, and I would wake up, and not feel bad about what could’ve happened.

But with those two people, it would be kind of weird to meet them one day, and look at them with a straight face.

Jim Carrey is being Creepy (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Jim Carrey is my math tutor, or I presumed he was, and how he advances to me compared to the previous dream is a lot creepier, but non-sexual thankfully.

The environment seems to be within a large house, and I’m sitting on a chair in a living room with him.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I’m watching people jump off from a helicopter, and other flying vehicles to eventually parachute their way down to what seems to be a huge forest with cliffs they could collide into.

Apparently, Jim Carrey is sponsoring this event, and I recall one dream character that looks like the skinny dark-skinned dude I used to know at work.

Someone Looks Into My YouTube Account (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Someone is looking into one of my YouTube accounts, and I felt as if I should panic. Though the content they were looking at didn’t really seem to suggest they looked into something else. I saw something like this:

Then I wasn’t worried at all.

As I fall asleep, I practice visualizing and mentally exploring my "base". It has gotten more detailed as it has grown organically over time. I've only managed to reach it in one lucid dream, which was blurry and short, but... well, time and patience. I think part of my problem is that I tend to think of it as 'home', but when my dreaming mind goes "home" I end up in old apartments and bedrooms. I may need to rename/reframe it as something else, like Focal Point, or simply the Cottage. It will be a good springboard, once I manage to make it into a stable setting.

I've worked on visualizing it as I fall asleep at first not because I expect to have my first lucid dream there (there's a great deal of NREM before your first dream) but because I want visualizing that setting to become automatic for my V-WILDs later at night.

I've had a lot more success with V-WILD than anything else, although the dreams tend to be "fuzzier" - not sure why. They tend to fade quickly. I suppose it's something I'll need to work on.

My first few dreams... I don't recall them. I wake up. It's 7-8 in the morning and I don't need to get up any time soon, so I let myself start drifting off to sleep. I decide to try a WILD but I'm too sleepy to want to put much effort into it, so I decide to drift and latch onto the first setting that presents itself.

That setting is the store that I work in. It is a dreamlet that I am standing behind the row of cash registers. I am still mostly awake at this point, but I decide to go with it. I mentally "walk" out from behind the counter and start walking toward the market section of the store.

As I "walk", the visualization gains vividness and clarity. It begins to become more than merely a visualization, although it is not yet a dream. In the past, I may have tried to "push" it into a full blown lucid dream, but that mistake can cause the dream to collapse. I have learned to simply let it gently glide into a dream.

By the time I reach the center of the market, it has become a full blown dream. It's still "thin", though (hard to explain). I am standing in market. The layout has changed, though, and it's not the store I recognize. I'm standing next to an open refrigerated section with several shelves lined with cartons of fruit - strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc. The dream begins to fade a little bit. I run my hands over the fruit, trying to stabilize it. It doesn't seem to work very well. I remember that I need to engage more than one sense, and one of those senses is taste. I grab a strawberry and try to shove it into my mouth, but there is something like a force-field in front of my mouth, preventing me from doing so. I can't seem to put it in my mouth with my hand, so I toss it into the air and catch it in my mouth. It tastes how I would expect a strawberry to taste. I begin walking down the aisle, and the dream fades.

When another dream begins, I am no longer lucid, although I still have an instinctive feeling that what is happening is not "real", although I am not sure why.

I am riding in a small, worn wooden boat across a gunmetal gray lake, toward a barren shore. The sky is overcast and gray, and the lake is very flat and still. There is a man waiting for me on the shore. He is very tall and thin - almost gaunt - and dressed in odd-looking dull gray leather armor. There is a thick red woolen scarf wound around his shoulders, neck, and the bottom half of his face. He has messy black hair. I think of him as my cousin, even though he is nothing like any of my cousins in real life except for being very tall. I reach the shore and step out of the boat. The dream shifts and fades.

I later had other dreams, but they were fragmented and I can't recall them.
