LD # 52 Going to miss my flight!

I know I’ve had at least 2 other LDs this past year that I didn’t record and have forgotten.

In my dream I’m at an airport waiting for a flight for a business trip. The airport looks more like a farm (old rundown) and I had to walk across a field of long grass to get to the actual airplane. So I’m walking to the plane when I look down and notice I’m barefoot. I’m annoyed, then suddenly I realize I forgot my ticket and I won’t be able to board the plane. I start to freak out. I’m thinking that I’m going to miss the business trip, my company paid over a thousand dollars for the tickets and I am going to have to pay that back. Out of desperation I do a RC just hoping that I am actually having a nightmare. I look at my left hand and count 5 fingers. OH NO!! But I double check (as I often do in RL). I look at my right hand and count my fingers, and I have 9!! I am incredibly relieved and I’m lucid!. Then I decide to fly. I jump into the air superman style and fly upward (a bit too slowly) about 50 feet. I then jet off to my right at a good speed. I fly near some power lines and dodge around them. I notice a train (a new high speed train) speeding along on a raised track to my left. I decide to catch the train and land on its roof. I jet towards it. I catch up to the train, but have to bank left to line up with the direction it is going. My banking doesn’t work well and I drift as I try to turn (like being in a car that is sliding on ice). I bring myself to a stop and am about to jet toward the train…when everything fades and I wake up.

LD # 51 Mutant Chickens

In my dream I’m in my own kitchen and there are bags of frozen whole chickens on the counter. I think to myself “I better get these into the freezer before they thaw out.” ( I have a large freezer in my basement.) I take two of the chickens in my arms and walk down into the basement. I open the freezer door, but before I put the chickens in I notice they look funny. They have several long spider legs sticking out of their sides. I drop the chickens in surprise. I then notice the freezer if full of plastic bags with giant spiders in them, and the spiders are alive and moving. I try to close the freezer door but suddenly it is too small and I can still see the freaky spiders moving around inside the freezer. Suddenly I realize something isn’t right. I look at my right hand and I have way more than 5 fingers. I’m lucid! I stop and look around and revel in the how real everything looks and how my mind created all of this. I remind myself to stay calm and head up the basement stairs. But before I can get out of the basement I wake up.

Wow! I’m only calling this 2 LDs, but I did 3 separate RC’s so technically it could be 3. Plus I just hit 50 LDs!!

LD #49 - Invisible Car & Nose Hair

In my dream I’m at my friends’ house visiting with John and Dave. The house looks just as it did back in the 80’s. Their mother is there and she tells me it’s time for me to go home. I walk out onto the front lawn, and it is night. In my mind I knew I had parked my care on the street in front of the house, but it’s not there. I worry that it was stolen. I look up and down the street and my car is no were to be seen. I take my keys out of my pocket and push the unlock button. The tail lights of my car flash red, right where I parked the car, but the rest of the car is invisible. This strikes me as funny. My car is invisible??? I wonder if I’m dreaming and look at my left hand. I count 8 fingers. I’m Lucid! I walk out into the street and levitate about 20 feet off the ground. I look around and there is my wife’s house (the house she lived in from childhood through her early 20’s). I fly over to the second floor window. The window is open so I fly right in. There is my wife, in bed. I walk over an pull down the covers. She has on a tiny white t-shirt, which barely covers her breasts, and white panties. Her body is amazing…she looks just as she did as a teenager. I climb onto the bed and begin to pull off her panties…the dream fades and I wake up in my own bed. I’m very annoyed. I roll over and look up. There is a mirror where my headboard should be. This doesn’t strike me as strange. I look at my face in the mirror and to my horror I have hair growing all over my face. The hair growing out of the tip of my nose is at least six inches long. I grab the hair and tug on it. I think “What the hell am I going to do with this hair??? Shave it?? Wax it??? Then I realize this must be a dream. I look at my hand and count 8 fingers. I’m Lucid again! My wife is lying right next to me. I pull down the covers and she looks exactly as she did prior to my false awakening. I reach over and touch tight abdomen. She is soooo gorgeous. Her body is so perfectly toned. I slide my hand down and begin to remove her panties when the dream suddenly fades and I actually wake up.

LD #50 - Blue Briefs

In my dream I am at a college. I am in a large classroom by myself. I am cleaning up the classroom. There are old papers all over the place. I am picking them up and stuffing them into bags. At one point I stand up and bump a table. A large glass of some dark liquid falls over and splashes all over my cloths. I’m very annoyed. I strip down to my underwear, and notice I’m wearing skimpy blue briefs. Suddenly, the room is full of students and a professor. (I’m in class in my underwear, what at cliché). The professor yells out, “What are you doing?” Everyone in the class turns to face me. I am completely embarrassed. I turn and walk out of the room into the hall. The hall is full of people. I take a deep breath and say to myself, “You look good, this is no different than a man wearing Speedos to swim. Just keep your head up, take pride that you are in good shape, and get to a bathroom as quickly as you can.” I walk down the hall until I find a men’s room. I go in, but it is a room full of men waiting to go into another room. The other room is the actual bathroom, which is full of children. I think, “Oh my God. I can’t go in there with a bunch of kids I’ll get arrested for being a pervert!!” There is a man standing next to me. He is a short guy, with dark thinning hair. He is giving me a dirty look. I think to myself, “God I wish this was a dream!” Then it dawns on me that this might be a dream. I look at my left hand and I have 2 thumbs and 8 fingers. I’m lucid! The first thing I do is levitate about 4 feet off the ground, turn and kick the man next to me right in the face. He flies backward. I drop to the floor and walk out of the room to the hall. I head back to the classroom, smiling at everyone I see in the hall. I get back to the classroom and jump into the air, float over to my seat and drop into it. My buddy John is sitting at a desk behind me. He says, “Vib! You look great! Every girl in here is checking you out!” I glance around the room and he is right. There are at least 10 beautiful women in the room and they are all looking at me with admiration in their eyes, and all are wearing seductive smiles. It the front of the room is a gorgous redhead. I smile at her and coax her to come to me. She walks over and sits down in front of me. I take her hand and kiss it. I can feel her hot skin against my lips. Suddenly the dream fades and I wake up.

LD #48 - Talking to Trina

This was a strange one. I don’t remember much of the overall dream because I didn’t write it down as soon as I woke up. I just fell right back to sleep. In my dream I suddenly realized I was dreaming without doing a RC. I remember looking around and briefly admiring the amazing reality my mind created. Then I walked over to a very thin blond woman, who was sitting cross-legged in a hole. The hole was a natural hole with gray stones on every side. She was wearing a green robe. Her hair was long, straight and very light blonde (golden) Her face was strangely thin. Her chin was too pointed. Her eyes were large and light blue. She had an ethereal quality to her. I crawled down into the hole, squatted down in front of her and asked for her name. She replied, “I’m Trina Brown.” Trina Brown was a woman I knew back when I was married to my ex wife (more than 10 years ago). I haven’t seen her since prior to my divorce. I responded, “You’re not Trina.” She replied, “Yes I am.” The dream faded out and I woke up.

LD # 47 – Jump in the pool

Unfortunately I can only remember a limited amount of this LD because I didn’t wake up immediately after the dream.

I’m in a large mall with a lovely dark haired woman. In my dream this woman wants to date me, but I’m not sure if I want to be involved with her. The mall has many levels and I am on the top level. There are railings all around and I can see down 4-5 stories. I’m not sure what triggered me to do a RC, but I look at my left hand and count 8 fingers. I am lucid, and a bit shocked that I am dreaming. I jump up onto the railing and easily balance. 4-5 stories below me is a huge pool of water. I turn to the dark haired woman, hold my hand out to her, and I say, “Come on, let’s jump.” She climbs up on the railing. I smile at her and then leap off the railing. I can feel my stomach drop as I plummet 40-50 feet. I hit the water and sink 20 feet under the surface. The water is warm like a bath. I look up and can see thousands of bubbles moving toward the surface. I marvel at how real it all looks and feels. I lose lucidity at some point and the dream continues, but I don’t remember anything else.

6/11/11 – I know I had a low level LD, but I can’t remember the dream.

6/16/11- (not LD, but interesting) I’m in a dream walking up Upland St and I ask myself, “Am I dreaming?” I look around and everything looks just like real life, so I disregard. I then end up at the golf course, which again is covered in at least 20 ft of snow. There are deep paths carved out, like streets, and there are people everywhere. This is very similar to another LD I had. The dream gets pretty cool after that….My fiends Rich and Mike B had lost tons of weight…I was with a woman who was making statues come to life…the female statues wanted to have sex with me…very interesting.

6/26/11 – LD # 46 - Did I poop the bed???
So, my wife had an LD on 6/25. In it she was trying to find a bathroom and having trouble. She finally found one and began to pee. Suddenly she noticed something wasn’t right and looked at her hand. She had too many fingers. Then she woke up and realized she actually pee’ed the bed. In my dream I was on a college campus. At one point it was winter and I was searching for something to use to go sledding. I ended up in a bathroom because I had to go. I dropped my pants and noticed my penis was hugely swollen. I wondered if I could find someone to have sex with and try out my enormous girth. I then sat down on the toilet to poop. Across from me was a mirror. I looked at my face and I looked like an alien. My skin was its normal color, but my cranium was bulbous. My eyes were too big and my hair was like peach fuzz. After a moment of looking at my face, and actually pooping, I realized something wasn’t right. I looked at my left hand and I had 12 fingers. I’m now lucid and I remember my wife’s LD. I am now horribly afraid that I pooped the bed in RL. I need to wake up right now. I look down at the floor, which is bright yellow linoleum, and yell “Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!” I do wake up and I did not actually poop in RL.

LD #45 – Fountain on the golf course

In my dream I was at home, at an old house I use to live at, and needed to get to work. A 1970’s white Cadillac pulled up to the house. I knew it was my ride to work. Joe (a guy I went to high school with) was driving. I knew I hadn’t seen him for many years and was very excited. I said, “Joe! It’s been a long time. How’s life brother?” He went on to tell me that he works for a company that sells store brand canned vegetables and the company is struggling because of a new canned veggie company. We are driving along and we pass the golf course. I notice a huge fountain in the center of the golf course. I know it doesn’t belong there and suspect I am dreaming. I look at my right hand and count 8 fingers. I’m lucid. I am very surprised and excited. I marvel at how realistic the dream appears. The inside of the car is so incredibly detailed. I am completely amazed that my mind is creating all this detail. I look at Joe and laugh. I yell out, “I’m dreaming.” Joe answers, “You’re dreaming?” I say yes and order him to do some donuts with his car. He doesn’t hesitate. He cuts the wheel sharply to the left onto the golf course and does several donuts on the grass next to the clubhouse. I can feel the centrifugal force pushing me against the car door and laugh with joy the entire time. The car stops and I jump out and jog toward the clubhouse. I want to get something to eat in the restaurant (there is no restaurant in RL). The dream fade and I awake. It’s 4:20am.

LD #44 – Out of work for 2 days

In my dream I am laying on a couch, under a blanket, in a strange house. There are a lot of craft stuff on the floor near the couch (Glue, paper, glitter, etc). My mother is in the room with me. I have a glue stick in its original packaging and I am trying to open it. Then I ask my mother if I have been out of work sick for the last 2 days. She replies, “Yes.” Somehow this doesn’t sound right to me. This entire situation doesn’t seem right to me. I look at my hand and count 8 fingers. I’m lucid! Then Olivia and Emily come into the room and start playing with the craft stuff. They are gluing stuff and ripping the paper. I ignore them, get up off the couch and head for the door. I walk outside. It is a clear sunny day and I am near Oxford/James Street. I decide to go find my ex (who lives near there). (In RL my wife say her recently and commented about how much weight she gained – I want to see her for myself). I start walking down the street and then I cut over to another street and start walking up a hill. I am suddenly very aroused.

Spoiler for Sexual content:

I reach into my sweatpants (which I just realized I am wearing) and my penis is hard. I decide to make it much bigger. I grab hold and stretch it to at least a foot long. Now it will no longer fit comfortably in my pants so I pull the waistband down and let it stick out for all to see.

I am walking up a hill and am surprised to find that I am exerting effort to do so. This seems very strange considering I am dreaming. I make my mind up to have sex with my ex as soon as I finder her to test out my new genital size. I look at a building as I walk past. There are letters carved into the stone surface and I am amazed at the details. I remember that it is important to focus on the dream in order to not lose lucidity. I look down at the sidewalk and marvel at the details. I can clearly see every detail of the tar exactly like RL. The dream begins to fade and I wake up to loud music. I am in someone’s backyard squatting on a lawn chair (I’ve had a false awakening). Then I realize I am still dreaming, but everything fades out and I actually wake up.

LD #43 – Tandem Jets?

I am still not actively pursuing LDs but it is always a treat to have one and surprisingly I had 2 in 2 days.

In my dream I am talking with my sister Sue and her husband Steve. We are outside and it is a clear sunny day. I am telling them that their son, Adam, was jumping out of a second story barn window. They looked shocked and I feel bad for tattling on Adam. I try to cover for him by saying he had piled up lots of soft stuff (hay, blankets, etc) so he would land without getting hurt. I glance up in the sky and see a strange jet plane. It has 6 wings and between each set it has a large circular structure (I have seen this before in spy jets). I my mind I know that these are new US military jets called “tandem jets”. Suddenly I realize that these jets don’t really exist. I know I’m dreaming without doing a RC. I am very excited that I am having a LD. I walk away from my sister and brother in law. I am on top of a huge hill overlooking my home town. I can see wooden stairs which have been built to climb the steep hill going down for hundreds of feet. I jump off the first step to fly. For a moment I have trouble and start to drop at a slow rate. Then I get control and shoot off into the air superman style. I do a huge loop-de-loop and then dart up into the clouds. It feels wonderful to fly!! I look down on the town from thousands of feet up and suddenly wake up.

LD #42 – Golf course is a winter theme park

I’m not trying for LDs anymore. I’m just too busy with life to put any focus on it. Yet I was pleasantly surprised to have an LD this morning. In my dream I was driving in my car down Upland Street. The sun was shining brightly. I looked to my right and could see the golf course completely covered in gleaming white snow. I looked to the far end of the golf course and there was a huge, beautifully build, cathedral. It looked like something you would see in Europe. I thought to myself, “What the heck is that???” I looked down the street and could see a golden temple (looked like something from Japan). At this point I knew beyond a doubt that I was dreaming. I pulled down a side street and parked next to snow covered side of the road. I jumped out of my car, wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and was comfortably warm. I jogged down the street, crossed Upland Street and jumped over the snow bank onto the golf course. There were paths in the snow and I looked around. There were all kinds of areas set up for people to slide down the hills. There were people everywhere and long poles with red flags on them, just like a theme park. I walked down one of the paths to a booth and got in line behind some other people. I was planning on buying some ticket. At this point I lost lucidity. There were two women in line with me. They were sisters and both had short brown hair and nice figures. I began to speak with them and both had nice British accents. In my dream I knew I was only 17 years old. I ended up kissing one of the women and the other one got very mad at me because she said her sister was only 15 years old. I thought to myself, “Hey, I’m only 17. No big deal.” Then I woke up.

2/6/2011 – Did I have a Lucid Dream and forget it?

I believe I had a lucid dream. What I remember was waking up (false awakening) in my bed after a lucid dream. I wrote some key notes in the notebook I keep beside my bed. Then I got up and left my bedroom. I walked out and I was out in a park, near a lake. One of my coworkers was there and so was my wife. I ran over to them and told them all about my lucid dream. Later, when I actually woke up, the only thing I could remember from the LD was testing out my superpowers by doing a bunch of gymnastic movement. I started with spring backward onto my hands, then feet, hand, feet, hands, feet, then into a triple back flip, and landed on my feet. I remember this part clearly, but nothing else. I really don’t know if I had an LD or not…so I won’t count it.

2/10/2011 – LD #41 – Money triggers lucidity

Finally, a good LD; and it was pretty long. I remember dreaming about being back in my parent’s house. I was in my room, which was much larger than it was in reality, and my mother was there helping me to move furniture. I then left the room and went outside. The outside of the house was actually a cabin in the woods (it looked nothing like my parent’s house). I took my car and drove down a hill and parked just off the road. I walked through a small area of woods and exited into a large open field. There were people there, including my wife. We were going to play softball. Then my wife told me that I had parked in someone’s yard and I would have to move my car. I looked to my left and there was my car parked on the grass right next to a house. I felt bad, ran back to my car to move it…except it wasn’t my car anymore…it was a small plastic van (about 3 feet long) which looked just like the van from the A-Team. There was a seat and steering wheel on the roof of the van and peddles on the sides. I straddled the van and began peddling. It moved along at a good pace and I peddled it out onto a road. I went right past the field and waved to the people. I was having fun peddling around on the toy A-Team van. I peddled up a steep hill; I could actually feel my legs struggling to peddle up the hill. I went over the crest of the hill and the pavement ended. The road became a rough dirt road and there were old train tracks running down the middle. I stopped my van when I noticed some money laying on the tracks. I ran over and picked up a few one dollar bills. Then I looked further down the tracks and there was more money. I was very excited and jogged over and picked up a large bunch of bills, some ones, some tens. I looked further down and there was more. As I moved toward the money a kid (about 7-8 years old) ran over and grabbed a bill. It was a two dollar bill. I saw another two dollar bill in the dirt and picked it up. Another kid ran up to me and I gave it to him. I didn’t want him to feel left out because his friend had found one. Suddenly, I realized how strange this was that I was finding money all over the place. I looked at my left hand, and didn’t even need to count my fingers because they looked as squiggly and weird. I’m lucid. I remind myself to stay calm and not to think of myself back in bed. I jog back to the van and straddle it. I decide I want to ride it down some steep hills. I peddle up a small hill to my right. As I reach the top I will the other side to be a very long steep drop, like a roller coaster. When I go over the crest there is a 100-200 foot, almost vertical, drop before me. I am very excited and peddle the van over the top. I zoom down the drop, smiling all the way. The woods on both sides of me are a blur and I can feel the sensation of me dropping at high speed in my stomach. I come to the bottom and will the van to roll up the next small hill, and will another large drop on the other side. I do this three times and I am having a blast. On the forth hill I leap off of the van with my arms out to the sides in a swan dive. I free fall hundreds of feet laughing with glee all the way. I land on my feet, into a low crouch (how I picture superman would land after zooming to the ground). I run forward and I’m on the golf course in my old neighborhood. I want to fly. I leap into the air and soar upward. I do a full loop-de-loop and then hover. Everything starts to get dark. I worry for a moment that I am about to wake up. I see a tiny dot of light above me and put all my focus on that. The dot of light gets brighter and then thousands of other dots appear before my eyes. They are stars and I am looking up into the night sky. I drift down until I touch the ground. I am still at the golf course, but now it’s night. There are several DC s around me. There are four I don’t know, but I recognize two of them; my old friends John and Dave. I hug them both, smile at them, and then leap back into the air. My flight stops as one of the DC s has grabbed my legs. I land and look at him. He has brown hair and is wearing a brown leather jacket, white t-shirt, and blue jeans. I am extremely annoyed. He tells me that he won’t allow me to fly. I laugh and respond, “This is my dream and I can do whatever the hell I want.” I reach out with both hands and grab his neck. I squeeze and his flesh is like putty in my hands. I pull my right hand up, and push my left and down and pop his head right off his body. There is no blood; it is as if his body is made of clay. His body falls backward onto the grass and I toss his head down next to it. I comment to his head, which is still looking at me with animated eyes, “How do you feel about that?” He doesn’t answer. I notice a building, which was not there before. I jog over to it and go inside. It is a small dinner. There are booths, tables, and a counter. I decide I want to eat some sweets. I move over to the counter and lean over to see if there is anything behind it. I see the grill and cooking utensils, but no candy. I think to myself, “this is my dream and I want some candy.” I look to my left and there is a wire rack with gum, breath mints and a bunch of Dove chocolates. I grab a handful of the chocolates and place them on the counter in front of me. I sit on the stool behind me and unwrap the foil packaging. I put the chocolate in my mouth and it tastes incredible. It is the best chocolate I’ve ever eaten. I let it melt in my mouth. I take the next piece of chocolate, and instead of unwrapping it I simply pinch it between my finger and thumb and it pops out of the wrapper. I eat this one as well. Then I think, “This is my dream, why do I have to unwrap these?” I wave my hand over the pile of chocolates and will the wrappers to be gone. I pickup and put the next one in my mouth. For a moment I can taste aluminum foil, but I will it to be gone. I eat 5-6 more pieces without any issues (no more wrappers). They are absolutely delicious. I glance out the window and there is a street lined with white brick buildings. There is also a cooler case (like the ones in a supermarket where they keep soda) in front of one of the buildings. It is empty except for a cat (which is white with brown spots). I consider leaving the building to check this out when the dream fades and I open my eyes. I do a RC and I am really awake and it is 4:15am. I jot down some note in my DJ and go back to sleep.

LD #40 – “Cartoon World”

This was a frustrating low level LD.
My dream started out where I was home with my wife. I had not gone to work and realized I had not called in and was going to be in trouble. I got up because I thought there might be water leaking into the basement (this happens in RL) and went down into my basement. As I suspected there was a large puddle of water on the floor. I went down the stairs and kneeled down next to the puddle. There was sawdust in the water and I realized my wife had put it there in an attempt to soak up the water. I was annoyed because now I would have to cleanup wet sawdust. Then I remembered that ‘water doing damage’ was a dream sign for me. I counted the fingers on my left hand and counted 5, but my fingers were all blurry. I looked away and recounted and I had 8 fingers. I am lucid. I walk back up the stairs and remembered what to do if I became lucid. I stopped and told myself to remain calm, I tried not to think of myself back in bed. I started walking down a long hallway with gold colored wall paper. As I walked I rubbed my hands together and shouted “increase clarity”. Things became a bit clearer, but not much. The hallway turned to the right several times (I realized I was walking in a square.) Then I found my front door and walked out. I found myself walking out into the driveway of Stacy King’s old house (from my old neighborhood). Outside looked like a computerized cartoon. The colors were vivid, but it looked artificial. I was in a cartoon version of my old neighborhood. I walked across the street and there was a cartoon guy who I know was a pizza maker. He looked like a stereotypical Italian pizza guy from old cartoons (i.e. thick black mustache and hair, wearing a white apron stained with pizza sauce, a bit on the fat side, etc.) I decided to fly. I jumped into the air and flew about 100 ft up. I looked around and could see the ocean a few miles away. Out in the bay a whole bunch of long thin tornados (maybe 50+) were coming my way. I flew up again, and decided to fly to the moon. I began to move at incredible speed, but as I broke through the clouds my dream world shifted against my will. I found myself back in the cartoon world. I was in a supermarket. I was sitting in an inner tube and I felt like I was drifting down a “lazy river” at a water park; however I was floating down the supermarket isle. I am getting frustrated with this dream but make no attempt to seize complete control. I decided to try for sex. I saw a picture of a cartoon woman on the wall (part of an advertisement…she is holding a loaf of bread in her hand). I pulled the picture off the wall and tried to turn it into a real woman, but couldn’t. I yelled out “increase clarity!”, but nothing happened. I saw cartoon woman stocking some shelves and as I drifted by her I pulled her onto my lap. I attempted to remove her clothes but couldn’t find any buttons or zippers. At this point I realized I do not have full control of this dream and it is very annoying, so I decide to just wake up. I close my eyes and focus on the fact that I am back in my bed. I wake up.

I haven’t actively persuing LDs for the last few years. I have had a few LDs, but to my great regret I did not write them down. (They were all very brief). One of my coworkers mentioned seeing the movie Inception the other night. He then asked, “Didn’t you use to have lucid dreams?” We talked about it for a while and he asked if he could borrow my LD books. I dug the books out of storage and gave them to him last week.

My Christmas morning went well, but I was up way to early. Later that morning I dozed off and had my first LD in a while…unfortunately it was brief.

12/25/10 - LD # 39 “Moldy shower”

I’m dreaming that I’m taking a shower and I notice the drain is stopped up. I am standing knee deep in water. I bend down, stick my hand into the warm water and remove the metal stopper from the drain. However the water does not drain. I stick my fingers into the drain and pull out the head of one of my razors. (in real life, I had dropped a razor head and it went down the drain. I was worried that it would stop up the drain.) The water still isn’t draining and I am frustrated. I glance up and notice a thick disgusting mold growing on the shower wall right in front of my face. Something strikes me as not right, and without a RC I realize I am dreaming. I am lucid. I stand up and pull back the shower curtain. I look at myself in the foggy mirror and notice my reflection has his eyes closed. I just chuckle. I stop out of the shower, naked and dripping with water, and head for the door. I want to fly. I hesitate to walk out of the bathroom because I am naked and people my see me. I smile at my hesitation and open the door. I jog down the hall to the kitchen, heading to the door so I can get outside, but I can feel the dream beginning to fade. I don’t think to spin because I am so out of practice. Just as I reach the door and grasp the cool metal handle, I wake up.

I have decided to pursue LDs again. I really miss having LDs. However, I will relax and not get frustrated.

LD # 38 – Kissing Gwen???
In my dream I am down in my basement getting ready to workout. There is a mirror in the basement and bright sunlight is coming in through the cellar window. I walk over to the mirror and begin to examine my completion for blemishes. I find I have a small pimple on my chin and squeeze it. A fistful of grey thick clay-like goo comes out of my face. I am shocked and disgusted…..suddenly I realize the situation isn’t right. I look at my left hand and count 6 fingers. Doubting the results, I count again and I have 8 fingers. I am lucid. I look around my basement and, as always, I am completely amazed by the clarity of the dream world. I can see the texture of the carpet, the light reflected off the surface of the vinyl cushion of the workout bench, and the chipped paint on the door that leads to the bulkhead. I walk to the door and pull it open with ease (in RL it always sticks). I walk up the 5 cement steps and push up on the bulkhead, it opens with ease and I walk outside. It is an amazingly perfect summer day. The sun is shining brightly, the dark green leaves are on all the shrubs and trees, and the grass is plush. I take a deep breath and can smell fresh cut grass on the air. My cat runs out of the open bulkhead, jumps into the air and flies away. I laugh out loud as I watch him fly with his little paws out in front of him like super cat. I begin to sing a silly song about the beauty of lucid dreams (I can’t remember the words, but I know they didn’t make senses). My voice is absolutely amazing…..I think, ‘If I could sing like this in real life I would win American Idol easily.’ Then I notice the house behind mine. I look up to the up-stairs window and see my neighbor, Gwen, sitting on the windowsill wearing an emerald green dress. I jump over the 6 foot tall white stockade fence that separates the yard (the fence isn’t there in RL) and land in her yard. Still singing beautifully, I walk over to a picnic table and jump up onto it. She notices me and moves away from the window. A moment later she comes out of the back door and says hello. I jump into the air and fly over to her (showing off). She doesn’t seem to be impressed. Suddenly the urge for sex is right there, threatening to take over. I fight it, but I still want to see her naked. I tell her to go back into the house and change so I can take her flying. She turns back to the door, tries the handle and says “I’ve locked myself out.” I hold out my hand to the lock and will it open. The lock clicks open. Then I move my hands upward and will all the windows to open, and they all slide open. Now she looks impressed and I say with a smile, “I’m a master of magic.” She smiles at me seductively. She opens the door, but before she can go inside I walk up to her, wrap one hand around her waist and my other hand gently moves to the back of her head……I pull her tight to me and kiss her deeply. As I have discovered in past LD’s, a kiss can be as good as sex in a lucid dream……I am on the verge of orgasmic pleasure from this kiss……….I wake up.

January 2007 – LD #37 - I’m Spiderman, kinda
I am driving up a hill toward the house where I use to live with my ex-wife (she still lives there). When I see the house it is no longer a house, it is a three-decker apartment. I am shocked. Then I realize that something doesn’t seem right about this situation. I pull to the side of the road in front of the house, but the car in park and look at my left hand. I count 7 fingers. I am lucid. I get out of the car and walk up to the front of the house. There are balconies on each floor. I decide to go up to the 3rd floor and see what the house looks like from the inside. But I decide not to fly…..I want to try something different. I try shooting webs out of my wrists like spiderman. On the first try web sprayed out all over the place (like opening a can of soda that had been shaken). I focus and try again. It works better this time and steams of web shoot upward, but don’t stick to the balcony. I worry that I may wake up at any time and forget about the webs. I jump into the air, fly up to the 3rd floor and land on the balcony. I walk into the apartment through the open sliding glass door. The room is dimly lit but I can make out a couch and a tv. Suddenly I can feel myself waking up….the dream is beginning to fade. I grab onto the door jam and focus on the feel of the cool wood on my hand and I focus my eyes on the wood grain. I try desperately to stay in the dream, but it fades and I wake up.
