LD #17 – “This street looks familiar.”
In my dream I somehow got stranded in the town where I used to live (from age 10-14). I don’t have my car so I decide to walk home (In RL that would be about a 60 mile walk.) I walk up a hill in a nice neighborhood and end up on a street. I stop and look around and realize that this street looks very similar to the street where I currently live. I examine the houses and, although, they are the same size and style there are subtle differences. The windows were smaller & the homes were closer together. I turn to my friend Mike, who is suddenly next to me, and say, “Oh my God. This street looks almost exactly like my street.” I look down the road and see the Golf Course at the end of the street. I jog down to the Golf Course, with Mike following me, and walk about 10ft onto the grass. The ground is wet and muddy. I realize that this golf course doesn’t look like the one back home. Realizing that this situation was very strange I do an RC and look at my left hand. When I try to focus on my fingers they disappear. I am lucid. I turn to Mike and say, “Hey, I’m dreaming!” I jump into the air and levitate up to about 30ft off of the ground. I hover there, look down at Mike and say, “You can fly too…..this is a dream.” He just stares at me, unmoving. I decide to leave him and fly up higher, like superman. I soar up to the top of the hill where there is a large unpaved parking lot with several cars in it. I land there and think, What should I do now? The dream fades and I wake up.

LD #16 – “Taking my mother flying.”
As usual, this started off as a normal dream and, again, my RC habit paid off. In this dream I was at work, which was (in my dream) right down the street from where my parents live. I was on my lunch break and decided to run up to my parents’ house. I jogged up the big hill and turned on to their street. I continued to jog unit I was in front of their house. I noticed a neighbor’s cat, it was orange, gray and white and it was extremely fat. I called the cat over and it came. I patted the cat, its fur was very soft and it purred. I couldn’t get over how fat this cat was. I left the cat and walk to the side door of my parents’ house. I looked through the screen door and saw my mother. I walked right in and greeted her, and asked to use the bathroom. I headed for the bathroom and went in. I immediately noticed that the bathroom was much smaller then I remembered it being. I stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself. I looked exactly as I do in RL, except I wasn’t wearing my glasses. Yet, I could see my face clearly. My RC habit came into play at this point and I glanced at my left hand. I couldn’t focus on my fingers, and my ring finger was just a tiny stub. I picked up my glasses, which had appeared on the counter before me, and put them on. I tried looking at my hand again with the same results. I am Lucid. I walk out of the bathroom, down the hall and through the kitchen. I go out the side door into my parents’ side yard. My mother is standing out there. I walk past her and say, “I’m dreaming.” She responds, “No we’re not.” I turn back to here, shocked. DC’s rarely respond to me in lucid dreams. I say, “Trust me Mom, I’m dreaming. I will prove it.” I hope up onto a low stone wall and leap into the air. I fly up to about 30ft off of the ground and turn back to look down on her and smile. She is looking up at me in awe. She says, “That is amazing. You should patent this.” I fly back down and land next to her. I wonder if my mom and I are sharing a dream. I say, “Let’s go flying mom.” I put my left arm around her waist and lift her up, she weights almost nothing. I leap into the air and soar upward. I am above the tallest trees when I begin to fly over the neighborhood. I say, “Mom, you might be dreaming. If you wake up and remember this dream, let me know.” She agreed. I flew her over the trees and houses of the neighborhood and then I landed. I said, “Is there anything else you want to see?” She said, “Can you fly me up to that other house so I can see inside?” She pointed to a large forest green colonial house to my right. “Sure.” I responded. But the dream faded away and I woke up.

Lucid Dream #15 – “First time I’ve seen the Sun.”
As usually I was at the end of a dream when I became lucid. I remember that in my dream my ex-wife had called me from her work because my father was asleep in his van in the parking lot. From there I ended up outside with two stereotypical 1930’s gangster types, pinstripe suits and all. I noticed a strange bush with very small green leaves, bright orange berries (which looked like orange tic-tacs), and 1inch spiky thorns, and I feel a twinge of fear. Suddenly, I remember seeing this type of bush before in a dream (dream memory?), and I realize that I am dreaming. I am now lucid without doing an RC. I examine the bush closely and wonder if I dream about thorn bushes because I fell through a torn bush as a child and was badly injured. I walk away from the bush and examine my surroundings. I breathe in the fresh air which smells of autumn. I look at the maple trees around me; their leaves are beautiful and vibrant shades of red, orange & yellow. I realize that I am in the front yard of a house where I lived as a teen. I walk around to the side yard and see another of those strange bushes. I stop. I decide to try to intentionally alter reality. I wave my hand by the bush and try to make the berries disappear. With the first wave of my hand aprox 80% of the berries fade away, the remaining turn a pale yellow color. I decide to change tactics. I raise my hands up and will it to begin snowing. The sky grows gray and it begins to flurry. I smile. I look upward and can feel the cold flakes of snow landing on the skin of my face. I notice the sun out of the corner of my eye, but it is coved by clouds. I realize that I have never seen the sun in a lucid dream. I will the clouds to part, and they do. The sun is visible and I glance at it. It is as bright as it is in real life. I avert my eyes and do a RC, just in case I’m not dreaming. (I was afraid I would go blind.) I notice that there is no after-image in my vision; there way there would be in RL after looking at such a bright light source. As I look at my fingers I can’t focus on them without them disappearing. I am confident that I am dreaming. I look back up at the sun. It is no longer as bright as it was. As I continue to stare a face appears on this bright yellow ball. It looks a bit like a smiley from a computer, but its mouth keeps changing from a flat line, to a kissey-face, to a tilted line. I just smile and look away. I decide to leave my old yard and go exploring. I walk to a gate and realize that the yard has changed to the front yard of the house where I spent my childhood (birth to 9yrs old). I walk through the gate into the street. I turn right and see Charlie Brown and Snoopy standing about 50ft away. (I was watching “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” last night.) They look 2 dimensional, like cardboard cutouts that move. Charlie sees me and runs toward me yelling, “Daddy!” I just had to laugh. He wraps his 2 dimensional arms around my legs and hugs me. The dream fades away and I wake up.

LC #14 – “RC habit pays off”
I was sleeping in late this morning. I had woken up and fallen back to sleep several times when I dozed off again and found myself walking in an open field of well tended, yet brown cut grass (like it was late November). I stop and look around. There is a large brick school to my left and many trees (mostly oak) to my right. I looked at the trees and they were still covered in green leaves which were moving gently with the breeze. I took a deep breath of fresh air and began to walk. I was happy to be outside and getting some exercise. I brought my left hand up and looked at it for an RC, which I often do when I get the chance to go for a walk. I couldn’t focus on my fingers. I’m actually shocked & ecstatic to realize that I’m dreaming. I jump into the air to fly, but land immediately on the ground as if I were in RL. I remind myself that I’m dreaming and jump into the air again. I am flying by low to the ground, maybe 6-7ft off of the grass. I begin to rub my hands together because my lucidity seems a bit weak. This helps a bit, but I know that my sleep isn’t very strong and I could easily wake up. But I desperately want to stay in this dream. I yell out, “Increase Lucidity! INCREASE LUCIDIDY!!” which helps a bit more. I wonder if I am talking in my sleep back in RL. I soar over to a chain link fence and land on top of it, balancing with ease. I look around and there are several large well kept colonial style homes, with large beautifully landscaped yards, before me. I decide to fly over to one, go inside and explore. I jump back into the air and fly to the nearest yard and land on top of a picnic table. I look at the side of the large federal blue home. I decide to fly up to the second story window and enter through it. I jump into the air and glide up to the window…….. I am startled awake by a loud snore from my wife. Damn!

LD #13: “Wait a minute! He’s dead.”
I know I was at end of a long dream, but I can’t remember what lead me to where I was. I am walking up the street where I lived when I was a child (birth to 9yrs old). I am walking past the house of some childhood friends when I notice their farther standing in the front yard. He has a running hose, and is watering the lawn. He sees me and waves. I wave back. Suddenly, it dawns on me that he has been dead since 1989. I look at my left hand. If I try to focus on my fingers they disappear. I am lucid.

Spoiler for Sexual Content:

(This is where this lucid dream gets a bit embarrassing.) For some reason, I think ‘I can’t seem to have sex in my dreams without waking up……I wonder what would happen if I masturbated.’ (This is embarrassing to write about) I unbutton & unzip my pants and pull them down, but I have no penis!

I am shocked, and the dream fades out…..I wake up.

Spoiler for Sexual Content:

I almost didn’t post this. I never really considered masturbating in a lucid dream. To my waking mind, it seems like a waste of a perfectly good lucid dream…..I’d rather do things that I CAN’T do in RL. But then I figured some of you might get a good laugh.

It’s funny; I’ve been stressed (mostly about work and school) for the last week. I have been doing absolutely noting (except RC’s during the day, out of habit) to do with lucid dreaming since last Saturday and I have a LD.
LD # 12: “Back at the Golf Course, in late November.”
I am dreaming that I am hiking through the woods. I knew in my mind that it was late November. All the trees were bare of leaves. There were small patches of snow here and there on the leaf covered ground. The sky above was gray, but not threatening rain. I started up a small slope, pushing through the branches of small scrub trees. When I reached the top I pushed through some bushes and stepped out onto a paved street. I recognized it immediately; it was he top of Upland Street. I looked to my right and there was the club house of Packachog Golf Course. Suddenly, I “felt” like I might be dreaming and looked at my left hand. It was all blurry; I couldn’t focus on my fingers. I remembered that last time this happened I was dreaming, but didn’t believe I was dreaming. I’m Lucid! I look around. The golf course is over grown. It looks more like a wild field then a well tended golf course. The club house looks run down and abandoned. I revel in the detail of the dream. I look at the surrounding trees and can easily determine the kind: oaks, maples, birch & spruce. I jump into the air and levitate about 20ft off of the ground. I focus on a tiny birch tree off in the distance and begin to fly toward it. I’m moving at (aprox) 10mph. I will my self to accelerate, and my speed increases to (aprox) 50mph. The birch tree is drawing closer when I am distracted by the sound of a siren to my left. I turn my focus onto a yellow emergency vehicle parked in the middle of the overgrown grass. I shift my flight and zoom over to it, and land. There is no one around. I move to the back of the vehicle and my dream starts to fade. I grasp the tail gate of the truck and hold it tight, focusing on the feel of the metal. I loose all visuals, but I am still hanging onto the truck, focusing strongly on the feel of the cool metal desperate to stay in the dream. I hang on for (aprox) 15seconds, but my eyes opened and I woke up.

The exciting, yet tiring and frustrating night.
I was on the forum on Friday, posting my last LD. I did a bit of reading and found the thread for the “Suneye Method.” I printed out a copy of Method 1 and read it. I decided that I could not follow the method as described. I know my sleep habits well enough to know that if I woke up 6 hours, washed my face with cold water and then stayed up for an hour, I wouldn’t be able to fall back to sleep. I did, however, decide to try some of the techniques from the “Suneye” method. I started practicing “looking at the 3rd eye” on Friday night. I had some trouble with this. My eye-lids kept fluttering and I ended up with a headache. I would look at the 3rd eye and repeat “Today I will have a lucid dream” exactly as suggested in the article. I had no success that night. On Saturday night I had 5 kids sleeping over my house. The got to bed late and I did attempt some of the Suneye method, but half-heartedly, again with no success. Last night I tried again, but this time I changed my wordage to “Tonight I will become aware I am dreaming and do a reality check.”
I looked at the 3rd eye and repeated my phrase before I fell asleep (at aprox. 10pm). At 1a.m. my stepdaughter woke up and had to use the bathroom. Her mom took her and after she came back to bed I attempted the method again with some success…….

“Failed RC, Damn!”
(I won’t go into great detail about the entire dream.) In the dream I had a “sexual device” that I had left at my parents’ house. When I realized this I became afraid that they would find it and think I was a pervert. Suddenly, I suspected I was dreaming because the situation seemed very strange. I did a RC. I looked at my left hand and counted my fingers. When I attempted this RC my fingers kept shifting out of focus, like double vision. This should have told me that I was dreaming, but didn’t. It was like I didn’t want to believe I was dreaming. I justified the double vision by thinking, “I’m not wearing my glasses.” I attempted it again, and again had double vision, but could still count. I counted 5 fingers. Still in doubt I decided to try to fly. I jumped up, but landed just like in RL (which is exactly what I thought would happen.) At this point I woke up (1:45am). I dozed back off within a few minutes.

At 2 a.m. my stepdaughter woke up again and called for her mom. My wife went into her room. I got up and used the bathroom. I went back to bed and lay there until my wife returned (at 2:15ish). I then had trouble falling back to sleep. I began doing the Suneye method again at aprox. 2:30ish. I must have fallen back to sleep at around 3 a.m. (when I’m having trouble sleeping I make it a point to not check the clock.)……………

LD #11 “Superman needs his theme song”
I’m riding my old blue Schwin Scrambler (a BMX bike I owned when I was 12 yrs old) up Upland Street near the golf course. There are other kids riding there BMX bikes around me. I stop, realizing that I am an adult riding a kid’s bike. I look at my old bike and see that it is very old, rusty and some of the nuts and bolts are loose. I think to myself, ‘didn’t I get rid of this bike years ago?” I become aware that I am dreaming and immediately look at my left hand. I have eight fingers. I am very lucid. I look around. Everything is very clear. I can see: acres of green grass of the golf course, the red club house, the many people gathered around the club house with their golf bags waiting to play, the boundless sky (which is overcast with white cloud-cover). Seeing the sky and the treeless expanse of the golf course I couldn’t resist flying. I ran across the street toward the grass and leapt gracefully into the air, just like superman. I remind myself to stay calm. I begin to glide up and over the golf course. I see my old boss, Gail, down below and yell to here, “Good morning!” She waves back. I am so happy to be lucid and flying. I begin to whistle the superman theme song (from the 1980 film). I fly upward and look down at the tiny golf course below me. Things begin to fade a bit, so I rub my hands together and things become clear again. I fly up higher and break through the clouds (which feel cool and damp, like morning fog). I am still whistling the superman song and I am amazed at how clearly and perfectly the song sounds. It is also very loud, much louder then I could whistle in RL. I wonder for a moment if I am whistling in my sleep (in RL) and my wife is listening and laughing. I dive back down through the clouds and swoop down to about 100ft above the grass. I slow my speed and turn over on my back (as if I’m in water). I stop flying and drift, like a feather, toward the grass. Suddenly, I startle awake and sit up in bed because of a strange noise. My room is pitch black, I can’t see a thing. I say to my wife (who I assume is next to me) “Did you hear that?” I am actually afraid. I hear a man’s voice to my right speak in an evil sarcastic tone, “I didn’t hear anything.” I swing my right arm out at the voice and strike a body. I open my eyes and actually wake up (3:30 a.m.). I realize that I just had a false awakening, which was very frustrating. I don’t bother using the Suneye method again, I just fall back to sleep naturally.
So, I am very happy that the Suneye techniques have worked for me, even though I am not using them exactly as directed. I feel great this morning (mentally) because I was flying like superman in a LD last night. But, I am VERY tired this morning and a bit frustrated about blowing the RC in the first dream and the annoying false awakening in the second dream.
The joy of the LD definitely out weights the frustration.

LD #10 “Jump out of a plane as a RC”
My stepdaughter woke up at 2:50am from a nightmare. I went in her room and comforted her and then returned to bed. I was having some trouble falling back to sleep and decided that this was a good opportunity to try the “wake up back to sleep” method. I lay there and told myself, over and over, “I will recognize my dream state and become lucid.” I eventually dozed off………

I am on a 747 airliner. I am flying somewhere with my stepdaughter. There is a huge storm going on outside. Someone yells out that we are going to get struck by lightning. I know that we are in no danger because this plane is equipped with the new “elector magnetic shield” which will deflect any lightning strikes. I decide to watch it work. I walk over to the door and open it. There is no wind or negative affect from opening the door while in flight, like there would be in RL. I look out and a huge bolt of lightning zig-zags down and bounces off of the side of the plane. It looked very cool. Suddenly a small white poodle runs by me and jumps out of the plane. My stepdaughter is next to me holding my hand. Without hesitation I jump out of the plane, still holding my stepdaughter’s hand, to save the dog. I sore downward and catch the poodle. I then slow my speed until I am floating gently down. I land on my feet in the middle of a city street. I put my stepdaughter and the poodle down on the road. The dog runs off. [B]I suddenly realize that I must be dreaming (or else I’d be dead). I’m now lucid. I am still holding my stepdaughter’s hand as I begin moving through the town. I see a building that I recognize in my dream world. I realize that it isn’t a building I know in RL, but I have been in it before in past dreams. It is a strange blue brick building. I head inside. I walk through a “lobby” where there are many people, and up to a small podium where an older (50ish) but attractive woman was standing. She had short graying-blonde hair and a nice figure which is shown off by the yellow flowered sundress she is wearing. She steps out from behind the podium and leads me and my stepdaughter down a hallway. She motions with her hand to a room on the left. It is full of toys and other children. She says, “This is the room where the children can play.” My stepdaughter lets go of my hand and runs inside. I let her go and continue to follow the woman. She is leading me somewhere, but I’m not sure where. I decide, at that moment, that I am going to experiment with sex in this dream. I reach my arm around the woman and pull her close to me. I can feel her soft warm flesh under the cool silky texture of her sundress. I pull her close to me and I can feel her firm body against mine. I press my lips to hers in a passionate kiss, but I keep my eyes open and try to remain calm and focused. She also keeps her eyes open and I realize that her eyes are not human eyes. They are yellowish-green cat eyes. I continue to hold the kiss for a few more seconds and my entire body is tingling pleasantly. I release here, and she smiles shyly. She begins leading me again. We walk to another room and she motions for me to enter. I leave her behind and walk into this new room. There is another woman in this room. She is tall (around 5’10”), probably in her late 20’s, has long dark hair & a fantastic figure. She is wearing black stretch pants, a black t-shirt and white sneakers. She is working-out in front of a large mirror. I only see her from the back from where I entered. I move around her to see her from the front and she is swinging a set of bright yellow nun chucks. I step up to her, my hand darts out with inhuman speed and I catch the nun chucks – stopping the momentum dead. I pull them gently from her hands and drop them on the floor. I move up to her and look into her ice blue eyes.

Spoiler for Sexual Content:

My hands move up to the waist band of her stretch pants and slipped inside. I begin to slide her pants down slowly, letting the palms of my hands caress the smooth skin of her hips. I whisper in her ear, “This would be easier if you were wearing a skirt.” She moves away from me toward a brown couch (which wasn’t there when I came in) on the right wall of the room. She lays down on the couch, beckoning me with her eyes.

I turn toward her and realize that there is a huge mirror to my left. I think, “I wonder what I look like in a mirror in this dream”. I turn and look. My reflection was that of an oriental man, in a black suit, wearing huge black horn-rimmed glasses. My hair was slicked to the side. I looked like a stereo-typical nerd. I laughed out loud. I closed my eyes for a moment and willed my reflection to change. When I opened them I was me again, wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. Distracted, I forgot about the woman on the couch (don’t ask me how I managed to forget about the sexy woman). I walked to another door, opened it and walked out. I turned around and there was a small read plate screwed to the door with “FFUUE” on it in white. I turned away and then remembered the woman back in the room. I turned back to the door and the letters hand changed to “F03”. I went back into the room

Spoiler for Sexual Content:

and the woman was there, still laying on the couch waiting for me. But, she was now wearing a tight gray skirt. I moved toward her, kneeled down with my knees on each side of her hips and began to slide my hands up her shirt as I leaned down to kiss her.[

/B] I wake up!

LD #9 “Government Agents”
I woke up at 5:10am and I knew that I had another 20 min to sleep. I lay there for a few minutes until I dozed off. I began to dream: I was in a bathroom that I don’t recognize. I glance at my face in the mirror and immediately notice something wrong. My face looks fake, like it’s made out of plastic, and my mouth is tiny (maybe .5” across). I realize that I must be dreaming. (Mirrors tend to make me lucid.) I look at my right hand and it is tiny and chubby, like an infant’s hand. I am fully lucid. I open the bathroom door and walk out into a screened in porch. I speak in a strong commanding voice “Increase lucidity!” and everything becomes crystal clear. I walk to the screen door, open it and walk out into a “pool area.” It looks like a built-in pool at a hotel. It has a cement patio around it and it is nicely landscaped with small bushes with red flowers. A long haired black cat comes walking up to me. Then I notice more cats all around the pool. (I was watching the movie Cat Woman just before bed.) I kneel down and pat the black cat. Its fur feels greasy and matted. I pull my hand away in disgust. This situation reminds me of the movie Cat Woman which prompts me to attempt some of her powers. I leave the pool area and walk out onto a deck. The deck is about 30ft above a large area of lush green lawn which is surrounded by a 10ft stockade fence. I gracefully leap up onto the railing (like a cat), and perch there observing my environment. I hear a jet flying overhead. I look up and it is only a tiny metallic speck against a pure blue sky. I focus my vision on it, like a zoom lens of a camera, and I can see the jet in detail. I realize that it is a heavily armed military jet. I decide to fly up to the jet superman style. I am suddenly startled by a voice behind me. “You are not allowed to do that!” I turn my head and there are two men, in blue suits, standing there (Average looking, in late 30’s early 40’s, dark hair, clean shaven). I know that they must be government agents. I laugh and say, “I’m dreaming.” I gracefully jump from the railing down the 30ft to the grass, landing on my feet and hands. The men are looking down at me from the deck and I am suddenly hit with a wave of fear. I realize that they don’t want me being lucid in my dreams. I try to escape from them. I sprint toward the fence and leap. I am just about to clear the fence when I am hit with a shock wave (like being hit from behind by a large wave at the beach) and I am jolted awake. I sit up in RL as the shock wave hit me. I sit in my bed for about 3 seconds feeling pretty freaked-out when my alarm goes off, startling me even more.

LD #8 “Winter Wonderland”
I don’t remember what happened in the NL part of this dream until….. I was at the house of a childhood friend, on his side porch. I was there with some business people (I’m not sure who they were) and I was watching them fill out some important paperwork. I glanced out of the window (3 walls of the porch are basically all window) and I had a marvelous view of Lake Quinsigamond hundreds of feet below me. I could see tiny motorboats and sailboats moving around on its surface. Then I noticed there was snow all around the lake. I realized that something wasn’t right. If there was snow it would be too cold for boaters, and the lake would be frozen. I considered that I am dreaming, but in my mind I doubted it because everything seemed so real. I do a RC and look at my right hand. I have 2 extra fingers. I remind myself to stay calm so that the LD will last longer. I close my eyes and take a few deep calming breaths. I am completely lucid. I walk out of the porch, leaving the businessmen behind. I am on a long driveway covered in a couple of inches of packed snow. I begin walking slowly down the driveway (which angles down a small hill). I can hear and feel the packed snow crunching under my boots (I suddenly realize I have winter boots on). I look around and it is a beautiful scene. There is glistening snow everywhere. I am surrounded by huge oak trees with snow clinging to every branch. It is a breathtaking winter wonderland. As I near the end of the driveway I realize that I am not cold, and the snow suddenly melts away leaving only wet pavement before me. The driveway ends at a street. I can go left, up a slight hill, or right. I choose left. I begin walking up the wet deserted road. For a moment I consider not doing anything but observing this dream, but then I worry that it will slip back into a regular dream. I instead decide to talk to some DC ‘s. Suddenly there are people on bicycles, motorcycles & go-carts racing toward me. They are all wearing numbers on their shirts. I’m standing in the middle of a strange road race. I have no fear of getting run-over. I try to stop someone to talk to. I step in front of an oncoming group and wave my hands over my head, in an attempt to flag them down. The simply zoom around me and keep going. I am very annoyed. I think, this is my dream and I can stop someone at any time. I focus my attention on a man on a bicycle; he looks like an Olympic bike racer. As he tries to speed by me my hand shoots out with cat-like reflexes. I grab hold of his blue & yellow spandex shirt and easily yank him off of his bike. He lands on the ground at my feet. He is very angry and yells at me, “What the hell do you think you’re doing! I’m in a fricken’ race!” I ignore his words, lean down close to his face and stare into his eyes (they were ice blue by the way). For a moment I try to read his mind, and I have a flash of a thick leather bound book with small gold lettering on the cover (I couldn’t read the words). (I have no idea why this happened or what it meant) The book disappears as suddenly as it appeared and I am staring at the man again. I ask him, “Are you a dream character, or a real person?” He suddenly changes. His skin goes pale and he becomes “Unreal” or “doll-like.” He moves a bit, but his movements are stiff and robotic. I walk away from him and I am suddenly in a building which I know is a school but I’m not sure what school it was. There are people all around me. I focus in on a woman. She has dark wavy hair and she is wearing a tight maroon turtle-neck sweater. The collar of the sweater is pulled up over her mouth and nose. I grab hold of her arm and pull her close to me. With my other hand I pull down the collar of the sweater so I can see her entire face. She is very pretty and has on dark red lipstick. I can see the light dancing off of the surface of her moist lips. The urge for sex begins to rise within me, but I fight it off. I look deeply into her brown eyes and ask, “Are you a dream character or a real person?” She just looks at me, confused. The dream fades away and I wake up.

LD #7 “Make a Woman Appear”
I remember dreaming about college and Dave Phillips was there with me (I won’t go into any great detail about it.) Then I had a false awakening. I was in bed and got up. I was in a strange dark house, but this all seemed normal to me. I walked down a dark hall to the bathroom. I turned on the light and it was extremely bright. I went over the mirror and looked at my reflection. I had white spots (like dry patched of skin) all over my cheeks. I took a closer look. Then I realized that my face doesn’t look like this in real life. I actually questioned whether I should do a RC or no. I thought, this all seems too real to be a dream. Then I looked at my hand and counted my fingers, I had 8. I knew I was dreaming. I (as usual) began to rush out of fear of awakening. I walked out of the bathroom. I began to rub my hands together to increase lucidity, but the whole house was very dark so it was hard to tell if it worked. Sex over took me (once again). I found a door and opened it. It was a bed room. There was a bed covered in crumpled blankets. I closed my eyes and willed a woman into the bed, and it worked. When I opened my eyes and threw back the blankets there was an attractive naked woman lying there. I got into the bed with her with the intention of having sex, but immediately woke up.

LD #6 “PERFECT ABS”
I remember being at my friend Mike’s house. I was looking out his back sliding glass doors at his lake. The lake was much smaller than in RL, really just a tiny pond. But there were large waves beating against the shoreline like the ocean. The Water level kept changing, one moment the water was very low, the next it came right up to his door. I remember seeing a dock/bridge that ran all the way across the pond. But part of it was submerged. I remember asking Mike and his bother Ed about it. We walked out to the shoreline and he had floated a large rusty oil drum out there to use to float the sunken section of dock up out of the water. I noticed that his dock was actually floating on huge bundles of trash. I wondered if this would pollute the lake.
The next thing I remember I am porky pig. I’m in a cartoon and I am chasing some girl pig through the jungle. We are sliding along vines that run from tree to tree like tight ropes. At one point I get a running start and catch up to her. I tackle her and we are suddenly tangled up in a bunch of blankets. We fall to the ground (no pain) and I am now myself and the cartoon girl pig is my fiancée. I am trying to gut untangled and she keeps rubbing up against me and moaning, trying to get me sexually aroused (and its working very well). I give in. I move the blankets enough so I have access to perform oral sex on her, and begin. She is moaning with pleasure. Suddenly I glance to my right and there is a large mirror there. I can see myself. I am standing there in just my underwear and I notice I have perfect abs. (My fiancé is now gone.) I flex my abs and they look like they belong to a body builder, I suddenly realize (much to my dismay) that my abs don’t look like this in real life (at least at this point in my life). I am lucid! I look at my hand and have 7 fingers. I am extremely lucid. I walk to the door and move to the next room, then to another door to another room. The rooms have no furniture, hardwood floors and stark white walls. Suddenly I say to myself, Stay calm, you always wake up too early because you get excited and rush around. So I take a moment to rub my hands together. I then calmly ask myself what I want to accomplish. I decide to try something new. I yell out, “I WANT TO MEET MY GREATEST FEAR!” Nothing happens. “SHOW YOURSELF!” Again, nothing appears. I begin to walk slowly and calmly to the next door and into the next room. There is a TV in the next room. There are (of course) cartoons playing, Sponge Bob this time. I know I am having trouble escaping from this “dream house.” I decide to go visit Sponge Bob by entering the TV. I kneel down in front of the TV and try to push my hand in. It won’t go. The screen is hard and cold just like RL. I remind myself that this is a dream and I can do anything. I try again and it works, my hand pushes in. (It feels like I’m pushing into warm dough.) I next push my head and body through, but simply end up on the other side of the TV, still in the same room. I stand and move to a door. I think for a moment, this door leads to the outside. I open the door and it is the outside. It is night and raining. I turn the lock on the door, but then stop and think What if I have to come back in? Then I laugh because this is only a dream. I begin to walk, in my bare feet, through the wet grass. I can feel the coolness of the rain on my body. I decide that I will search for some DC ‘s to speak with. I walk down a dark street with many houses, but I see no one. Then I come to a small park and there are kids and parents sitting on benches. It is now daytime, clear and warm (it changed without me realizing it.) I walk among them. It is so real that I do a second RC (looking at my 7 fingered hand) and I know I’m still dreaming. The first woman I approach to speak to only speaks Spanish. I notice a child reaching for a round rock (a bit smaller then a tennis ball) that is on the ground under one of the benches. I put my hand out (like a jedi) and will the stone to my hand. It flies through the air and I catch it. All the children see this and come running over. They gather around me, as I will the stone up onto the air in front of me and make it spin really fast. Suddenly I let the stone drop, the urge for sex has overtaken me yet again. (I really need to get control of this in the future.) I run off to find an attractive woman. I don’t get far before I wake up.

LD #5 “Marketing Class Out Doors?”
I'm in my Marketing class, except it is taking place in a perfect New England town common. It is a perfect summer day; warm & sunny. I am lying on the grass with a blanket over me and a guy from work is to my right. He reaches out and grabs my arm. I get angry and grab his forearm, and squeeze with super human strength. I feel the bone snap in my grasp. He yells in pain and I suspect I'm dreaming. I apologize for breaking his arm and stand up. I look at my hand and realize that I have extra fingers. I begin jogging down the street. I wave to my professor, who is standing behind a brick podium atop a small grass hill. I get up to a good speed and jump into the air. I fly up at least 100ft like superman. I can see the entire town below me. The sky was blue with some puffy white clouds. It was bright, but I never actually saw the sun. I do a huge loop-da-loop and end up near a maple tree. I can see the leaves so clearly. I then fly (about 20ft off of the ground) down a cobble stone street. I come to a set of steps and at the bottom is a large fountain. I fly right into the water. It splashes all over me, it is cool and refreshing. I realize that I am now in a building, in a stair well. I slide down a stainless steel banister. I end up in a hotel lobby and there are lots of people. I wave at and greet some of the people. Suddenly the urge for sex takes over. I walk to a petite blond woman in a white and red striped sweater. I walk up to her and look deeply into her blue eyes. I slip my arm around her waist and can feel the fuzzy texture of her sweater, the softness of the flesh beneath, and the warmth of her body. I begin to gently lead her toward the elevator and she willingly walks with me. - I realize that this situation would really piss-off my fiancé and wake up.

LD #4 “Clean up the Glue”
I was sitting in my living room watching Looney Toons. Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck asked me to play a game. The game consisted of me squeezing this ball (about the size of a tennis ball, but smooth red plastic) and Elmer's glue would shoot out. Who ever got the most Elmer's glue would win. I squeezed the ball and a huge stream of glue shot out and landed on the hardwood floor. I was very upset and got up to get a paper towel to clean it up. When I tried to wipe it up it just smeared on the floor. Suddenly I realized I was dreaming. I stood up and decided to use Telekinesis to remove the glue. A young man suddenly came up from behind me and stood right in the puddle of glue. I shoved him out of the way and used my mind and hand (like a Jeti) to lift the glue off of the floor. I had some trouble at first, but finally the glue was floating in the air like a bubble. I moved it into the kitchen and dropped it into the sink. I then moved to the young man, slapped him on the back and said, "I'm dreaming, so I'm going flying." I jogged out the side door and into my yard. I went to jump into the air and noticed a car driving down the street. I delayed for a moment, because I didn't want the person in the car to see me fly. Then I thought "I'm dreaming" and jumped into the air. I flew about 20ft from the ground and woke up.

LD #3 “Naked Co-Worker?”
4:30 a.m. – LD – Once again a naked woman prompts lucidity.
(I had a midterm test last night and was very relieved that it was over when I got home. I ate a large amount of a pomegranate just before bed.)
I really can’t remember anything of this dream prior to the point just before lucidity. I am in a classroom with a bunch of other students. Then Beth (a co-worker) comes up behind me. The teacher (a tall woman with long dark hair) is coming down the aisle in front of me to meet Beth. I turned to look at Beth and was shocked to find that she was naked. I immediately became lucid (this is an obvious dream sign for me.) (I remembered to rub my hands together to stabilize the dream, and it worked.) I didn’t even have to do an RC to verify, I just knew for a fact that I was dreaming. I looked closely at her. She had a very nice body (which she doesn’t have in RL). She asks the teacher if she has any pomegranate and the teacher replies that she doesn’t. I stand up and say, “Hey, I have some left over from last night.” I am still staring at Beth’s naked body and for a brief moment I consider having sex with her, but I realize that it would be wrong because Jen would be mad at me. I walk out of the room leading Beth. We go into the next class room (which is empty of people) and there are the two pieces of left over pomegranate on the teacher’s desk. I left Beth at this point. I walked back out into the hall and began to rub my hands together to increase lucidity. I turned left and went down a flight of steps to the first floor. I began walking down a long hall to leave the building. I remembered that I wanted to practice my flying. I passed a room on my left and looked in through the window on the door. The room was full of young women (in tight red sweaters) singing. Again the thought of sex crossed my mind, but I resisted. I knew that it would just cause me to wake up and I was supposed to practice my flying. I walked away from the temptation quickly and headed straight for the door that lead outside. I exited and saw a large group of high school kids standing under an “overhang” that extended out from the school. I raised my hand to them and yelled, “HI EVERYBODY!” in my best imitation of Dr. Nick from the Simpson’s TV show. The crowd of kids yelled back, “Hey Jeff V…..!” Then I thought, ‘hey I can really impress them by flying and I jumped into the air. I didn’t fly, I simply landed on my feet just like in RL. I then thought ‘this is my dream and I can fly!’ I jumped into the air superman style and this time I flew easily. I soared up over the school and I could see the roof of a large yellow house next to the school. I looked down at the grass and the tops of trees. I soared around for a few seconds and then landed. I noticed the radio towers near the school (they are there in RL also). I wanted to fly up to the top of the tallest one and see what the red light looks like up close. Suddenly there were some trees blocking my view of the towers. I started to run to the right to get around the trees so I could see the towers again, then I thought, ‘what am I doing? I can fly.’ I took off again and began to soar upward toward the tower and then the dream faded out too quickly for me to react. – I WOKE UP.
