lucid

Maybe hypnosis has to do with it - but I caught a great WBTB time with naturally awakening after 6h and being pretty coordinated also - and that's very important for me.
So that I actually seriously lay down a bit for MILD and WILD try - this often doesn't quite pan out because I am too tired or too lazy or whatnot.

But this time again - I got lucid in the next dream. I stood as an adult in my old school and talked to a little girl - maybe 7 years old. I've been explaining maths to her (?) - anyway - I became fully lucid while continuing to talk to her.
Optical quality was really good, otherwise it didn't feel overly stable, though.

I will adapt my hypnosis script upon final translation to have certain in-dream things like stability and realistic feeling and whatnot in it.

I knew, I wanted at least a basic task - so I played the most stupid prank on her by just shouting booooh and jumping up and down and making faces.

She squeaked first and jumped a bit back, but then she started crying and quite bitterly.
I saw a mirror then, and looked at myself, and first I saw something like a really fierce human-bear-mix face.
Then the picture got unsharp and foggy while returning to rather human than bear - and I decided to leave that be, and went out to a sort of parking lot with pebbles, and some small plants were growing there.
Green bulbs - maybe 5 cm in height and they had a red star on top of them - almost like such fake cactus-flowers, pinned on.
I knelt down and tried to hypnotize or better stare them into magnificence - nope.
They just ignored me.
And I woke up.

Next time I will try other things - like telling them what to do, or pretend-remembering that it was just the time for them to go into seasonal transformation, or do some turning away from them.
Not just staring, in any case - I should know by now, that this just increases vividness and details..

I found a baby and decided what to do. I met my friend and told her and showed the baby. Then said – it can’t be true. It’s a dream. Count fingers – a lot. It was the most charming baby in the world and I wanted to be with her but I decided to grow a plant with mellow elephants (like in CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2. I looked at the ground and the plant became growing. It has long sharp leaves and at last appeared a box or a flower. The box was opening and several watermelon - elephants jumped on my palm. They were the size of a nut or so. They were alive and moved. So funny with the trunks!!! I wanted more and another green elephants jumped from the box and I awoke.

i am in a modern-ish house. a dc is standing in front of me, i start talking to him, when i suddenly realize i am dreaming. the dream was very vivid and futuristic. i go outside and notice a forest in front of me.
i want to fly, but i dont want to do it here. i want to teleport to a city. i close my eyes only to remember that closing my eyes is a big NO-NO. i "wake" up, but something strange happens. i can see my dream but at the same time i am awake in real life. i try to move, but i cant so i just stay still and wait until i actually wake up.

Dream
Lucidity

I was walking down a road passing several streets. I kind of knew I was dreaming and was trying to remember every street name I saw, which were the names of people that I worked with at the prison. I came to a stop and the area changed to a more lively area, with trees and better colors. Desirae was standing right next to me. She told me she knew I was dreaming and she was waking up to get ready for work. I almost had a false awakening and I got mad because she almost woke me. I yelled to the dream to show me a cool name on a street sign but it just turned to a piece of wood. I continued walking and it looked like I was in a college campus. I somehow became lucid. I walked towards a chubby woman with brown hair. She was kinda pretty. I asked her how she was doing and she said she just got off church. She walked off and as I followed behind her, I stabilized my dream by rubbing my hands and telling myself repeatedly "I'm dreaming". We continued talking and I found out we had a date planned together but neither of us knew when. I found Valery and we started walking. The woman started going into her apartment and I said "You should lose some weight" in hopes that the next time I see her, she'd be skinnier. I also told her "I do love your dress, though". She seemed upset that I suggested she lose weight.
Valery and I kept walking and I said "Let's fly." Valery and I started flying. We flew over two people and almost over a roof. Everything felt so amazing and I felt so happy. I started losing focus because my emotions got to intense and I fell. I tumbled onto the ground and as I got up, I did stabilization techniques and reality checks of my hands and watch. My digital watch was going crazy, even when I tried to make it count time normally. I kept walking with Valery and thinking that we might be sharing the dream, told her to remember we flew together. I also told her to remember the yellow dress she was wearing and what I was wearing. I wanted to get her to wake up so I started yelling at her to wake up. She then started crying saying something about her vacuum yelling at her or something. I then woke up.

Sorry this is so long! It would be more detailed but I'm writing this a few hours after it happened

Setting:
My dream was set in WW2. I don't know how I know this apart from the odd mention of bombs. In this place we were not allowed to do dancing (which I am fond of) because we were meant to be serious because of the war. But, there was a secret club which we snuck into to dance and have fun.

Non - lucid:
It started of with me and my friend (I don't know who) running away from the patrol who were searching for people doing something wrong. They were on a motor bike wearing dark sunglasses with dogs beside them. Me and my friend were running away from them as we were dressed in our red dresses which we danced in. We ran until we reached the sort of speed where you can't go any faster but I used the near by cars to push myself to go further. My friend could not catch up but I did not realise. I ran into the corner sweet shop where I lived and dived behind the counter.

The guard people came in looking to see if anyone was there but left. My friend arrived a few moments later and had a go at me for leaving her. My elderly friend Mrs. Dubose who I lived with was sitting in her chair:
'Im coming with you to that dance whether you like it or not!'
She always liked to protect us. I replied,
'You can't, what if a bomb were to drop on us?'
'A bomb is just as likely to drop on this house as it is to drop on the town hall!'
But she agreed to stay.

Lucid:
It was only a short awareness because my cat suddenly jumped on me:
When I hugged Mrs. Dubose goodbye I felt her soft wrinkly skin. I felt like a pillow and I thought she must be at least 100. Then I smelt her and she smelt so nice. She smelt sort of like old people's talcum powder but when I smelt it I though 'is this a dream?' And everything sort of disappeared although I was still holding onto Mrs. Dubose

I woke up I imagined where I last was I took off again

Non - lucid:
We walked to the hatch in our floor and down a flight of stairs, across a corridor, up another flight of stairs and through a door. We were suddenly in the town hall where the dancing took place and it has 15 people in there. Girls dressed in red and boys in suits.

-gap which I can't remember-

We heard people below us and all the dancers went down to investigate. All the towns people were there in one room. The elderly and young including Mrs. Dubose on beds and the rest of the floor. They explained there had been a sudden attack from the enemy. Mrs. Dubose invited her horrible friend over to her bed to share and wrapped her checked blanket around them both.

We heard a loud lady's voice above us:
'I know you're not in your beds. I know there's some people down there. Whoever is there will return to there own beds immediately. I will count down from 5. Go!'

There was a rush of people. I knew we wouldn't make it.
1. There was a jam of people at the door
2. Mrs. Dubose would not be able to run and we would have to assist her
3. Our house/shop was the furthest away

However, I had a plan. The lady in charge had bad eye sight. However, she had very good hearing. If we went back the way we came she would hear the door. But if we went round the side door of our house she would not.

We ran around and let Mrs. D go in front. She went ahead but the lady saw/heard us and stopped us.
'Hello Annie and Jack!'
She was talking to me and my brothers toys and obviously thought they were small children
'Now you hurry back quickly, I'll give you two extra time!'

We ran quickly back to our house. Usually we would all share the same bed even though it wasn't allowed. I went in the bed and Mrs. D and my brother hid in the cupboard. The lady walked in and the bell in the door chimed. She walked swiftly across the room and nodded. And walked back out. My brother let out a deep sigh and thumped out the cupboard loudly. I held my breath as he quickly hid again and the lady walked back in. She opened the cupboard and gasped loudly.

I woke up. Sorry for the length again but it was a very vivid detailed dream.

Morning of April 17, 2014. Thursday.



The setting is very similar to our backyard, and it probably would be our backyard were it not for a group of Aboriginal Australian girls moving from near the front of the house along the side, seemingly coming to talk to me (perhaps I am trespassing). They are mostly dressed in blue jeans and casual blouses and tank tops. It seems to be late afternoon. I am only semi-lucid and I am thinking of some sort of “trick” (in case I am absentmindedly trespassing and thus to avoid a confrontation by going over to what appears to be a public-park-like area) which involves walking through the tall wooden fence (which looks very similar to the one we have in real life). I move one slat on the fence (so that it is only still attached near the top by one nail) that is almost to the end of the backyard (perhaps the fifth slat back from the end corner) and am able to step through sideways with just a little difficulty. However, I end up in an area (which may either be a public park or another backyard, though seems almost like a woodland area) that also has a large group of Aboriginal Australian girls who seem a bit annoyed at my antics or appearance from the other yard (it is possible that the two groups are having a feud with each other).

An older female of about seventy or so, with white hair, asks me if I have seen her husband. There is some sort of short conversation she continues with, with me, relative to whether he has been “left alone” (I am not sure if he was supposedly on the other side of the fence or had disappeared or become lost - I get the impression she means that he might have even died) which seems a bit odd and with an ambiguous meaning; that is, “being left alone” in a negative sense (and not having a partner to share life with) and “being left alone” with a positive implication as in not being bothered. I am trying to work out the odd ambiguity as my dream looses focus, the older lady’s eyes being quite vivid and intense and I am not sure what to say because I am confused about the meaning. I say something like “People have never left me alone in my life,” (coming off as a bit sarcastic) which does not sound quite right, as I am supposed to be talking about her husband, not myself, though I have no idea who he is or about anything else that is going on.

Hi ,
I've been lucid dreaming for a few years now i can do it when i want basically.
So i have this dream i like "going into" i don't know how to say it but i can remember my dreams and pick which one i want to have or i create a new one and store it almost. I dream that i am some hybrid of magical creatures and a witch, but that i have this because i am mother natures daughter~crazy right?

But anyway, i dream that i save this blonde boy with silver eyes when he is little as he fell into a lake and was unable to swim, i appeared in time and save him. Then i skip ahead to being older and i have powers like i can heal with water, mostly elemental powers. Its really detailed but hard to explain to you. Part of my powers from mother nature is that i collect your dreams,thoughts and life experiences and you each have a tree and that tree has leaves that fall and regrow. My job is to thread everybody's fallen leaves into a leaf timeline which if broken can mean you never remember what was lost. Only i have the power to be able to do this and people are after me to break peoples memories (i don't know who yet i'm going to create that tonight).

I had been kicked out of the fea community as i used my other powers that they hated as they couldn't do it to. I also have a baby sister that i can never decide how old she is so i keep changing her age to fit how i want the story to go.

So after i was "exiled" from the fae community i build a home (literally) with my earth powers it looks like it is made of really good wood and its so pretty with flowers around it in the middle of a meadow. So anyway me and my sister live there and i also have a friend there called Alisa a pretty girl with long light brown hair and is tall wearing jeans converse and a light purple top around 17 so a year younger than me. In the dream i can change my outfits to the situation so i normally have a top created out of water but frozen so you can't see anything haha and then my skirt is a short beige ruffle skirt thing and i'm wearing my favorite black boots.

Urm so yeah in the house we get attacked by the people after the memories of literally everyone ( the memory trees are kept safe as they exist in a "ball" i have which i say a magic spell and shrink myself inside collect the leaves and come out of again haha.) Anyway they burn down the house and i escape with my friend and my sister and i find the boy again. He is in a magic school (like Hogwarts but not haha?) and he speaks to the headmaster saying i can learn magic there and so i go to his room in this boarding school and attached to his dorm is mine and my friends. So we start talking as i tell him why he knows me and catch him up that i have powers as i left as soon as i had saved him last time ect.

But he introduces me his friends they are lovely after they get used to me. i show them i can change into a tiger which is white and pretty and they love it and admire me for being powerful. But the rest of the school don't take to me at all as the boy i saved {james from now on haha} has a bit of a reputation for being the hot bad guy haha which every girl wants kinda thing. In the dream i'm really attractive to so we both get envied/jealous people trying to steal us from one another....

But yh thats where i am up to so far i think i'm going to expand on it tonight. I'm an odd one. I swear i could turn this into a fanfic or story or something haha.

Have wonderful and magical dreams everyone <3<3<3

Night of 4/15/14

Dream 1:
(I've been watching 30 rock)

fragments:
there was a meeting with liz
miss mahoney was wearing a bra that shot out sparks (not electrical, like fireworks)

Dream 2:

In a cafeteria
My lunch is ruined- i left it on a table and someone sabotaged it
a friendly lunch man makes me more lunch and makes sure it is very satisfactory

I see a girl im into
close friend decides to go for her instead

Dream 3:

bible school (childhood trauma, what?)
really boring

*****

went into some sort of FPS mode
everybody was shooting at each other
I was shootin up fools
water surrounding a tower inside, it was dark
Went outside, FPS mode gone


*****
Went into different inside area, can't remember how I got there


*Usually when I go lucid i say out loud that it is a dream*
*In this case I just felt kinda lucid*
*Felt strange transitioning into lucidity, like there was little change*

*****

was in a building with church people
I wanted to sex up a girl
People would always invade space.
There was very little control
I tried to build a wall and door with a closed door
failed

They said if I wanted to have sex it would need to be with a family member
I loose control over the dream, (who wouldn't in that scenario?)

*****

I was at my cousins' house, which is just up the road from where I live. I guess I must have gotten bored, 'cause I started flying off a cliff, concomitantly realising it was not real, and thought of my plan to, next time I became lucid, take my friend to LA to find her favourite actor. So I called her down from the top of the cliff and she flew down and I told her my plan, and she agreed and we were trying to decide whether to teleport, fly, or take an aeroplane. Okay, decided to take the plane; we'd at least know we'd end up at the right place and wouldn't get tired of flying and fall into the sea or something, so we flew to the airport, on the way going through the school where I flew under a bench where a girl we knew happened to be lying, and then I flew under another bench upon which the girl's twin sister was sitting (she does have a twin sister). Then someone said "They might as well not be brothers-in-law." (I think she meant twins, but whatever.) And then my friend started laughing because she found what I was doing funny.

At the airport we hadn't any luggage to put in the luggage place so I said "Let's imagine what luggage we'd like to take," and my friend said, "I want to take my MP3 player!" I said "No, I mean imagine your whole luggage and it should appear here." Then it did, and then my old maths teacher came by and said something nasty about a bag we had that was ugly and smelt bad or something, and I said "That isn't ours! That was already here!" and then I realised it was ours - my friend's - but we laughed and said "Shh!" Not like we would tell HER that; not any of her business.

And then we tried to teleport onto the plane, but it didn't really work. So then we flew somewhere else, to the edge of the land I guess, where it had this cage with a mini island inside it and then ocean, and we flew over the top and all this random stuff happened, with a random baby thing that two of my brothers were awed by because it was like an almost-complete replica, the way it acted anyway, of a baby from some game or something. And then we tried to teleport to the actor's house from there but we had to hide a balloon from my parents and my piano teacher, and we weren't sure whether to tell my brothers to tell Mum and Dad that we had gone and blah-blah-blah, or to just GO. So we ended up not even getting there.

Notes

I was on a ship filled with people when someone threw a homemade bomb into the crowd. The bomb got tossed around like if it was a "hot potato" and it finally blew up on some guy. He went flying and we thought he was dead but he slowly got up and started running off the ship. His head was blown open and I could see his brain. While he was running off me and a girl chased after him, especially the girl but I realized he was too wounded. I said "That guy is wolf food now..." We were then in an island and as we were getting back into a bus, I started fighting people. I beat up a lot of them but then I got thrown off the bus. I was locked out but some girls that were in the bus were nice enough to hand me a few bottles of water. I told the girls I'd be back to help them. I went into a big house that looked more like a motel on the inside. There was a TV playing music and as I walked towards it, I said "I haven't had a sad dream in a while." A fat lady was walking towards me and I asked her "If this were a dream, would I be able to change the song to a song from Tangled?" The replied
Yes, but it would play before the current song" That confused me but all the talk about dreams made me do a reality check. I started counting my fingers and noticed I had a lot of them. I realized I was dreaming.
I looked around the house and there were a lot of stuff on the counters. I noticed my dream blurring and getting disoriented so I rubbed my hands and then looked at them to stabilize the dream. I faced the TV and tried to make fireballs but the only results were sparks or embers coming out of my fingers. I thought about maybe taking a pill that would give me the ability to use fireballs but didn't. I flicked my index, middle finger, and thumb, which caused a glowing crescent to come out and fly towards what I pointed. The crescent curved in the way my palm faced. I tried different positions of my palm and the crescent would react to how my hand was. I turned around and went down some stairs into a dark room. I flipped a light switch and a few lights started to go on. I yelled while raising my hands "Let there be light!" and the room lit up. I looked at stuff on the counter and then decided to go back upstairs and into another room where I heard Blacksher calling out to L. Hernandez. The place looked like Denise's room. I saw Desirae on a counter laying down. I asked her why she was there and she said she was sick to her stomach. I asked with what and she said with Vygil or something. She looked really pale. I then went to Blacksher and she was saying something and I wanted her to shut up so ducktape replaced her mouth. She was trying to talk and had green skin. I let her have her mouth again and left towards Desirae. All 3 cats were there and I wanted Lucy to turn into a tiger. I pointed to Bugaloo but realized it was Bugaloo. I saw Lucy and flicked a crescent on her and she started turning into a tiger.

I believe in this dream my lucidity was low, since it didn't feel as real as previous lucid dreams. I could still control myself, though. As for the Glowing Crescents, I'm going to use that as a way to point to things that I want to change, like I did with Lucy. If I want to change, for example, a tv into a radio, I'll use a Glowing Crescent on it while. I think this will help me with changing stuff.

I was underwater and did a reality check of my hand. My hand looked normal and it looked like I had 5 fingers but upon counting them, I had 6 fingers. I became lucid for a few seconds.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In my other dream, I was at a school campus and was getting some food at the cafeteria there was a very long line of people I recognized. After I ate, I went to a football field. It was nighttime and it was very foggy. Some little girls were there and I said "Looks scary, doesn't it?" I was gonna take a video of the fog but the girls got in the way. The camera was laggy. I also remember seeing P. Foy and M. Padilla talking.

Ok I'm going to keep this short but I want to note a micro DILD I had after an unusual WBTB. I was stoked about the lunar eclipse this morning and made about a 45min WBTB out of it all. When I got back to bed I tried for WILD but it was keeping me too awake. I changed positions and decided on SSILD but I'm not sure I actually did any cycles.

The next thing I recall is being outside waiting for "the otherside" of the eclipse. I breifly see a glowing ring in the sky like a solar eclipse and wonder if that was real. My dad is ranting about end times prophecy and I follow him into a house. I older daughter shouts at him that it's just science. I have some disagreeing words with him and go back outside.

I search for the moon but I all I see is darkness. As I realize I am lost in the void I shout out, "I am dreaming!" It's too late to try to salvage the dream so I go into DEILD mode.

Unfortunately, I lost lucidity and find myself walking on the street in downtown New York with my wife. She text a friend that lives in the state about our surprise visit but she doesnt seem to care or want to see us. Suddenly we are in a canoe floating down a street of water. I think of Vience and wonder how this happed here. I turn and my wife's boss in the canoe. We have some converstation until the alam wakes me.

4.15.14

Last night bed at 8:45 pm - 1:50am

I had to be at work at 3am, hence the early bed time.

DR 1

Woke up at 11pm from a DILD.

I'm in an unknown hallway with my dad. I'm telling him we are dreaming. We were doing something fun, but now he is like "what else is there to do in a dream"? So I say we can go and slide on a big yellow inflatable raft. Thank got this boring part ends here.

Now I'm at some other place. It's night. I feel like doing it and there are 2 girls. Somebody takes one of them. I'm thinking "oh great, I'm left with the chubby one". But I also dont care, hehe. I push her down and she giggles, and I remember Ophelia talking about having her way with girls, when she changes into a guy in her dreams. I'm not sure I changed into a guy, but I just knew, that none of those tiny details will make any difference with me completing my plan. Not sure what happened after.

But now I'm in a room that looks like wooden cottage, like wild west type of a building. Someone walks in, a guy this time. I lock the door and we do it. Happy ending iz all I'll say. Thank you, come again, hehe.


DR 2

I'm in my homeland, on some kind of a trip with foreigners. We walk down into the river and water is reaaaaly low. At some place I kneel down and touch the ground. There is just less then 1/4 of an inch of water. Just enough to make a wet sound. Rest is sandy.

I look ahead and the river is missing all the water. It must be a drought. I tell them we have go and explore, because this happens like only once in 20 years.


DR 3

I'm walking through a street fair or some other fair. I look for some candy. I see lollipop glasses made from blue sugar. I buy one and taste it and it's the best flawor I ever had. I want to buy more, but the lady is out. So I keep looking at similar things, maybe I'll find them, or they will taste the same, or other vendors will have them. But the lady says, after I ask her, that she doesn't have any more of them. I really want to buy some for my family, who is also there at the fair, but walking separately.


DR 4

I just glanced at the title of an entry 2 post below mine, and from "suspenders" I recalled this dream.

I'm in my childhood room. I have these mans suspenders on. Everytime I pull on them on the top on my shoulders, they levitate me up. My mom is standing in my door and I'm showing her this and saying, that changing lightbulbs and cleaning the light fixtures will be so easy this way. She faints.

I can sooo clearly feel the gravity being 0 and me just levitaning upwards so easily and effortlessly. Such a freeing feeling.

I don't remember the first dream. All I remember is I was talking to a person in a room about something about dreams and it ended. I woke up at three thirty i think and went back to bed.
At that time I had a dream I was in my house but than suddenly it started to flood. So I ran out the house and appeared outside where there was stores and a big parking lot. To my side I could see a guy and a girl walking with a gun. So I ran all the way to the bus stop. There were people around and I asked a little girl which way was back. She told me to wait on the other side so i did.
I took the bus but when I got out i appeared in this room. There were two men standing and a lady in a pink performer costume balancing herself on the guys shoulders on a platform above. But part of the building began to collapse and they fell. Suddenly a guy with a gun came out. I guessed he was a bad guy so i tried to throw some small golden rocks i saw. But I missed and he shot me in the shoulder. I decided to try again and he shot me two times in the same spot...on my left shoulder and i fell onto the ground. It didn't hurt but i felt pretty stupid. That's when I woke up.
I thought about how those dreams sucked and tried to fall back to sleep. I did eventually and had a dream I was inside my house. I saw people playing a game like super smash bros brawl. I wanted to draw so i went to my brothers room and found a sketch pad and a sharpened pencil. But my brother yelled at me for taking his stuff. So I got mad and yelled at him and his friend. Than I left and saw my lil bro eating something. I got mad out of no where and started yelling about how i wanted food and that that was my food or something like that.[I've been having lots of dreams where i yell for food...I need to stop that...-w-]
Anyways I left the house and found myself outside. A pizza appeared in my hand and i took a few bites. A lady and her son who was a child came out and threw something in the garbage. I decided to throw the pizza away so i did. Than when I turned I saw a dark skinned old man walk out the back and walk past me. I asked the lady. Is that a ghost?[I don't believe in ghosts] She said no. I walked up to the open gate and closed it. After that i walked back to the lady. A random person walked up to us[I think it was the dark skinned old man] and said that people need to recycle more and need to start caring about what they do. Be more neat stuff like that. I was like yeah..Than I woke up. : P

It's been a while since I last put a Dream Journal entry in, I've been out and about with friends playing music! I've been putting a lot of my focus on tantra also, since I had some sort of euphoric sensation overcome my entire body a couple of nights ago and I was wondering what on earth it was, it led me to tantra!

11th April -

Dream 1
Walking through a motorway type stone tunnel with a bunch of people, it turned into a busy stone hall but much tighter packed. I'm walking in the same direction as a lot of people, others are busily walking in our direction too. There was this guy who was walking next to me at the same time as this group of charity collectors pass me going the other way. The main collector asks me if I want to donate as he passes but I immediately tell him I have nothing to give, and he shoves me (I'm always charitable when I've got it, so this kind of behaviour annoys me). He keeps going, but the other guy who I mentioned was next to me says something offensive as a passive response to my having no money as to imply I'm tight, and I told him to fuck off or something long those lines. Further down the hall I'm walking into an open market type place, there are boxes of random toys and things on the floor and I have to step over them as I look around. Suddenly I turn around and the guy I told to fuck off before has the most insane keyboard in his hands, it's strapped on to him and he's holding it like a guitar, it was like a meter long black beast of an instrument, and he was playing some notes. He shouts to me that he's having it and there''s nothing I can do about it. Then the dream fades.

I was sleeping on a couch and woke up about 6 hours into my sleep and recalled that last dream. The light was coming through the living room window and there were buses loudly stopping and starting outside, it was quite noisy. I was quite uncomfortable too, the couch wasn't big enough to allow lying down fully stretched, so I was in the fetal position. It took me a while to get back asleep, my eyes were closed though, I was determined to get back to sleep even though I didn't feel too sleepy, and after 20 minutes I started to see some imagery appearing before me in the darkness, then I suddenly and very unexpectedly transitioned straight into a lucid dream, I was in a blurry room and it there was purple electricity flowing over half the stuff in the room. I didn't feel like I woke up in a dream and had to regain consciousness, I felt like I had literally just been lying on the couch trying to sleep and then all of a sudden I was in this room. I unfortunately came straight out of this dream anyway, and I was on the couch again.

So I tried again, I rested patiently for about 20 minutes, this time it seemed a lot longer to happen and I was getting a little disappointed until the imagery started appearing, then I knew it was game on. By imagery I'm talking about colourful neon type patterns swirling, which sometimes briefly transform into vivid objects. I've been practising dream schemas, thinking about what the patterns I'm seeing look most like, and therefore convincing my brain that that is what I'm seeing.

Anyway I went back into a new room, it was the same again - a transition with no loss of consciousness. This time I was sat on a bed and knew instantly I was dreaming, and I was calm. I looked around the room and it was more vivid than any lucidity I've had so far. There was a washing line sort of thing hung across the room with a football attached to it, and as soon as I looked at it I calmly thought about how I could change it into something. I decided to change it to a star, but looking at it and thinking I wanted it to change to a star did nothing. I looked away and repeated the thought, I wanted the ball to become a star, and when I looked back it was still a football. Then I woke up again.

With the two lucids I was trying to "open" my eyes as the imagery started coming to me. By open them I was not actually trying to physically open my eyes whilst keeping them closed, rather it was more of an embrace of all the imagery, as if I was accepting I was in a 3 dimensional space.


So that was annoying, that I couldn't change the football into a star. How will I fly if I can't even do that? I think the problem was that I was only thinking I wanted it to change, with little expectation of it actually happening. I didn't visualize it happening, I just wanted it to happen. Next time I'll have to "see" it change, and maybe it will.

Dream 1
I was in a religion class with some old friends, they were all sitting about and smoking joints/playing games. The religion classroom transitioned into a bedroom without me noticing. I remember talking to a friend who used to body build but he looked really young again, like he did before his body-building days, and we talked about how it's a waste of time if you can't afford a good diet.

Dream 2
My dream log simply says "Dan spelling cat and" (I must have been very tired). I can vaguely remember a funny situation where my friend Dan was in a position of spelling something, and I was taking the piss out of him spelling the simple words cat and dog for him in a patronizing (but banterish) way.

Dream 3
I don't know what happened in this dream, except I know that there was a scene where I vividly heard words inside a dream for the first time. I was lazy in my logging efforts and have now forgotten them, in fact if I wasn't so sure right now about how I felt after I woke up that I heard vivid voices, then I would be convinced that I just feel like I have. Anyway this was unusual for me, usually I can remember being part of conversations in dreams but not actually hearing the words clearly, rather just remembering them. This time it was different, but I've forgotten the words so basically it doesn't even matter now haha.

The other sensation I felt in a dream for the first time was physical pain. I was unwrapping a bandage that was around my wrist, I think I had burned it or something, and I can vividly remember the feeling of the bandage being peeled off my raw skin and the stringing sensation of it. I hope it isn't possible to feel super physical pain in dreams, because if that happened to me with the mind I've got, I'd be fucked.
