lucid

First Dreams - Very Weird:

Dream 1:
I was hanging out at some carnival, it was a very gloomy day. It also had enormous lecture halls beneath the ground in several buildings. After wandering around for awhile and eating some gross carnival food, I went down into one of these lecture halls and sat next to a couple friends from high school. President of the United States (PotUS) came to give a speech about something, except he wasn't Barack Obama, he was some young punk that looked like a young Barack Obama (Maybe 16 years old) and he was extremely cocky. He got up in front of this mostly empty lecture hall that could probably fit about 600-700 people. This guy pulled out a gun and my mom came out of nowhere and jumped in front of the bullet. She got shot and lay there bleeding while the young PotUS just watched with an emotionless look on his face. I wondered, why the hell would she do that? He must really mean a lot to her. Dream fades to black.

Dream 2:
I was back at the carnival, it was raining this time. I wandered around again until I eventually found my way down to the lecture hall. I sat in a different place this time, farther in back. Exact same thing happened otherwise.

Dream 3:
Back at the carnival, this time there were a couple of cops as well. They gave me a hard time and ignored me when I tried to tell them that someone was going to try and shoot the president. I eventually went down to one of the lecture halls, as though I had no choice in the matter. This time, the PotUS was coming out of the lecture hall right when I got to it, some guy came out of nowhere and tried to shoot him. My mother jumped in front of the bullet again. Same stuff.

Dream 4:
After fading to black this time, I became lucid in the darkness. I guess this would be a true DEILD. I tried to create a different scene because I was tired of watching my mother get shot over and over again. Didn't work, I was back at the rainy carnival, this time one of the cops was holding me down and....spanking me? It was a horrible, helpless feeling. I told him that he was a nice guy and that he didn't want to hurt me. Didn't work, so I told him the same thing again while I transformed him into another person that looked like a stereotypical hippie. He let me go and I teleported to another world. I was at a beautiful house on the second floor. I started in a tiny bed that might be appropriate for a little 6 year old. Being that I am 6'3, it was a little too small for me. I was feeling tired all of a sudden and I wanted to take a nap, so I looked around, expecting to see some giant beds to lay in. Two, giant super king-sized beds appeared behind me with small rays of light shining down on them from some skylights. This room reminded me of what my parents' bedroom looked like in the early morning when I was a small child (a recurring place of safety for me in dreams). I moved curtains over the skylights so that I could take a nice nap without light. I then realized that if I took a nap in a dream, I would probably either wake up or go to a different place. I didn't want that so I decided to look around instead. The house was quite an interesting design, I thought. The entire building was in the shape of a '+'. Outside of the room I was in there was a balcony that led to the other wings of the home. I looked over the edge and saw an indoor river, surrounded by plants that led to the front door. Outside of the house, there was a zen garden and an old-school, large, wooden gate that led to a busy street (there were no cars, just people walking). I went down into the garden and noticed the edges of the dream starting to blur. I stabilized. These bugs started attacking me. First it was mosquitoes, then spiders started jumping at me. I didn't like that so I ran away. My heart was pumping super fast and I woke up.

Dream 5:
I was at my parents house and there was a giant snake that was slithering around like a lil' creep. The cats tried to kill it but it escaped into hiding. Soon there were baby snakes everywhere. One bit me, ouch, nothing bad happened so I assumed they weren't poisonous. I decided that it was time to catch that sneaky little snake. My sister and I picked up some giant butterfly nets. This snake was extra tricky though, it would take the shape of one of the cats and then there would be three cats and we would have to figure out which one was just the shape-shifting snake. After going through this process of the snake taking cat form, us discovering it, then it running away a couple of times, my sister eventually caught it with a net. During this process a couple random, nameless DC's got brutally torn apart by the snake. It didn't seem like a big deal in the dream but now it seems kind of messed up. I put my net over hers and we welded it shut with torches coming out of our fingers. I woke up.

fragment:
I was only semi-lucid during this dream, so I won't count it as lucid. I remember that there was some dream guy that was talking to me. He told me that he could tell me a grand secret of lucid dreaming if I went to this magical pool of water. I went there and my body turned into water. I blended with the water and became the water. Then I woke up. Super short dream.

Super long fragment:
I was hanging out at some strange building with my brother and one of my uncles. We all decided to smoke some weed outside, then they went down into a double secret basement that was three floors beneath the surface. I didn't want to go down there so i stayed at ground level. Eventually some weird stuff started happening and the dream turned into a kind of ghost murdering RPG. The house turned into a ranch out in the middle of a post-nuclear testing site in a desert somewhere. There was also a giant group of people with guns and swords now. We hacked and slashed our way through ghosts and possessed people that turned on us. After awhile, I had probably killed these ghosts a hundred times and I got tired of it and most of the group was dead so I ran towards the home and went down into the double secret basement where my uncle and brother were hanging out. My uncle had been possessed and my brother had to kill him. My brother and I got overrun by dozens of ghost-demons and he got pulled behind while I barely escaped. I went up to the top floor of the building and this strange light zoomed by at super speed and drove away all of the ghosts that attacked me. My mom and dad were hanging out up there, reading books as though nothing were wrong. I asked them what that light was, they told me it was their little dog. They said she was possessed by the guardians of the property. I asked them if the guardians protected my brother too, they said that the guardians refused and that he must have done something pretty naughty because they wanted nothing to do with him. I woke up.

I flew in ordinary dream, then remembered, that in dreams it also possible, count
fingers - 7.
I flew through the window, and landed in the street. I put my hands in the wall to earn points and hardly remembered about ice sculpture task. I was on a cross in my town
and there was enough space for snowstorm. I began moving my fingers on the right hand slowly and all became grey and there were snowflakes and decorated snowflakes like in previous LD . In some moment i understood that i need more power. Then i began moving my left hand and left fingers. When i understood that snowstorm was strong enough, i turned around to find what sculpture to make, and found a rose bush. It was without flowers, but with leaves. I wished it and finished the snow storm. I felt fingerpain in both hands. When it became clear, i saw a ROSE BUSH MADE FROM ICE!!!!! It was about 2 meters and it was so .... Every leaf, every branch was so attractive and beautiful, that i came to it, broke off one leaf and took it in my mouth. It was cold, and melt slowly. I decided that the task was finished and awoke.

01:30 bedtime
02:16 real bedtime

04:10

F1) a bunch of people becoming lucid, in a competition

05:34

F2) ice cream shop in the mall it's our shop, we expanded it, I see the early construction of just the foundation and the subfloor. Everyone's congratulating us, they like it better than the smaller one. There's a spot at the end which is ours. Sister and BIL came by the shop.

F3) moving through a huge 3d building/space there are peole everywhere. There is a love story, there is only one person for you and you're trying to find them sometimes there are hard situations where more than one person wants the other. Moving through these huge structures, getting to the top (flying?), I'm trying to get higher and higher to get to the top to see something about the roof. I"m not able to get up there.

07:36 "The dog that wouldn't die"

1) On deck at parent's house, I see my dog wrapped up in newspaper, he's very warm there in the sun, he's normal sized, but he's not responding to me, I unwrap him, I think he's dead, I take out the small battery from him and I see he's dead, now he's a tiny dog in which fits in the palms of my hands. I show him to my wife, I'm devastated. I run into the house to the laundry room to find some batteries to bring him back to life. I'm running in "where's the battery!? Where's the battery?!" My son shouts after me "that's stupid, don't even try it, what are you doing?" I get a battery and put it in. For a moment I see him alive, then I don't see him any more, and I think "where did he go?"

I'm entering a mad scientist laboratory, a big industrial medical facility, I'm talking to the mad scientist. I see a living dismembered dog head on the table strapped down. The face is facing away from me the head is lying on its side, I see the severed neck meat with the bone in the middle. There's an experiment that's being done stimulating different parts of the brain of the dog which are actually located a bit down on its back. Then the head is upright on the table facing me, the pelt extends down beyond the head. They run experiments and the head yelps and yowls and apparently dies at the end. It's very disturbing. Something is written on a sign in red next to the head, it reads "Hi (my name)", an assistant says that was painted with yak butt blood. I'm outraged by this whole thing. I just want to take my dog which is in a bag by the table who has been brought back to life by the scientist. I take my dog and run away with some other kids.

2) sliding down a hill with some other people with some animals, my dog zips by on his own down the hill. We're going somewhere, maybe to the beach. We come to a house, there are kids and adults. There's a hedgehog walking slowly across the lawn away from us. We look at him. The hedgehog then see see is climbing up on the beams of the overhang of the roof. Someone says "don't shock him! He was starting to come out!" I look at him for a little while and decide he's not coming out.

I go inside the house and see a bag of chips (round flavored corn chips) I eat a few chips and realize this bag may have been meant for something else and shouldn't have eaten them. There's a party in this house, there's a lot of food open around the place, there's taco mix, dips, there's a table in a living room they're packing up this food to take it somewhere, there's a bag on a table, I lift it and hear glass clinking together, I think there may be wine insdie, I look inside and see two wine bottles, they're opened, I'm thinking "how are these not spiling, they're on their sides?" I look inside there is an amazing invention: a special stopper that goes down inside the bottle that allows you to store an opened bottle of wine on its side. There's a funny big upright handle that attaches to the edge of the table (like a beer tap) that holds the opened and stoppered bottle of wine upside down. The idea is you must pick up this wine with one hand upside down, and you pass the bottle to your other hand, and it won't spill because of the stopper (explanation goes on for a while about the hand passing).

3) I'm with people in daylight in California, wow look at the blue sky, it's warm, There are kids and parents, they want to slide down the hill, across a busy street, I say "STOP!" "Don't do this, you have to set up someone to watch for traffic. When a car is coming you have to signal stop, and when the way is clear you signal go, I hold up my hands to show the signal for stop and the signal for go. The kids are mimicing these signals to show that they understand. I'm amazed at this blue sky, I'd never get that sky where I currently live.

F4) I see the DG (wife of JT) with funny looking eyelids. I think about how peole change, I saw her in a party room.

08:12 BTB

10:52 Christmas mother lightwaber battle crow girl (LD)

F5) I'm a detective.

4) Christmas celebration. I'm home finally to see family for Christmas. Not my family though, I don't recognize the faces. A very large, sumptuous rich home with huge rooms, in the room where the Christmas tree will be. Earlier I selected a tree, and set it up, I thought it was a great tree, I brought it into a room to set it up and decorate. The tree starts falling apart, and I realize it had been constructed from smaller from little bits of branches all tied together. I could see little potted plant pine trees as part of it, it fell apart. I saw a green flag tied to the top of the tree, I thought it was a signal that it was a bad tree, I'm pissed about this tree.

I'm in a room with other men, trying to set up a long series of table/benches in order to be the work surface for preparing Christmas/decorating. The men are some agreeing with me some disagreeing, I'm setting up the tables so that one interlocks with the other to form a very long single table.

In a huge sumptuous house arguing with people I don't know about how to set things up for Christmas, we're disagreeing, there are two cavernous adjoining rooms, we're in the living room and the dining room is just beyond us, a huge open aired area. I'm upset, this is not how I wanted it to be, I wanted it to be the way when I was a boy. They're saying "we can set up this room then that room." I say, "NO, that room's the dining room, we're not going to set up the tree in there.

Then the whole thing turns into a giant mall with canned Christmas music and stores, highly commercial, my Jr high school best friend is in a shop preparing something, I'm so upset because this isn't how I want Christmas to be, I'm on the verge of tears. Then my mother (young) is on my left walking with me, I'm trying to hide from her that I'm crying, I don't want her to know that I'm upset, I think "I just wanted Christmas to be like when I was a boy!" I don't want to say this to her. Mother says to me "I think I know why you're upset," she's being very motherly, trying to explain that everythingis OK. We walk for a while end up outside.

5) fruit salad. In my parent's house living room. Wife is fixing somebody a fruit salad. I say "it's OK, I'll maek the fruit salad." I go to the kitchen start cutting fruit, I realize I don't know how much to make so I go back to the living room to ask who wanted it, "OK who's going to have the fruit salad?" there were two middle-aged women sitting in chairs to the right, one say "Oh no no I won't," the other woman says "Yes I'll have it," and someone else had left. So I went back to fix it.

Back in the living room, lying down on the couch, I look behind me and see a glance of my father naked, "ew" I think I didn't need to see that, then I thought "wow my body's a lot like his." There are guys in the room and they're fighting, I'm imaging it's a light saber battle with toy lightsabers with collapsing tubes. They're real but they're not. I'm imagining a lot of ways I'm winning this battle, lots of maneuvers like in the Star Wars movies, cutting off both hands of the opponent in a single swipe, I think if you cut their hands off it's such an easy way to win. Then I think "just cut right through them! How can you stop a light saber?!" Just cut their heads and bodies, I imagine doing this. They don't fall down or die. At one point I move to the entry way and extend my light saber about 15 feet to bonk one of the other guys.

6) crow girl LD #13

I'm in an unknown house in a hallway I see a room at the end, in the middle of the hallway just beyond me there's an open door leading up to the attic, it's like a closet stairway the walls are lined with books it's extremely cramped. I know that crow girl lives up there. I think she may be my wife. I have a feeling this is a scary nightmare. I call for her and expect her to come down, she starts coming down the stairs, she's young and beautiful with black hair but with a scary nightmare movie dead zombie exression on her face. I expect her to turn into a crow at any minute and it'll be scary. All of a sudden she's a small doll like a little straw man doll in a burlap sack with a drawn-on face, I'm holding this doll out in front of my face with my two hands. I start running the other way down the corridor all the while with my eyes fixed directly on this doll. I move into a room at the end of the hall still looking at this doll. I expect the doll will transform any second and it will be scary. I think "well that will only happen because I expect it to happen." I'm looking at this doll and realize I'm dreaming and I'm partially lucid. I'm still holding the doll and still scared a bit, say "I'm dreaming" again and all fear is gone, I'm lucid, and the doll is forgotten. I turn around in the room facing the door to the hallway. I'm ready for goals now. I begin my practiced group summons, and say "OK, line 'em...." I stop myself, wait, here I am jumping into girl stuff again, my partner's name is Pickman, I'll summon him and get some team points going, what was my partner's name again? Oh yeah, Pickman. And the next thing: I say again: "OK, ladies, line 'em..." (again I don't get to the word "up"), I'm instantly awake in bed, and finish the sentence, "oh, shit."

A slight variatoin on sleep-friendly fusion SSILD this time, I did it a few quick alternations like I mentioned last time: quick SSILD cycle, then relax, quck SSILD cycle, then relax, but then I moved to doing them together: I did the longer SSILD cycles, but with a relaxing mindset, so that I have the attention focused on the senses, but a softer attention, and try to move deeper into relaxation while doing the cycles at the same time. I do a few long cycles this way. Either I dropped the SSILD and went to sleep or I fell asleep while doin this combo technique, which would be great it's just what I was trying for!

Didn't stabilize! Argh! I remembered my teammate's name, but didn't remember to stabilize. I was also not calm, I felt very rushed.

I can't recall the entire dream, but the dream entailed me going to progressively higher cliffs around the world and jumping off of them, because I had some insane power to fall from any height and survive. But I began to get the acing feeling that cliffs were a dream sign... so I must be dreaming right?
When I thought of that, I was at the last cliff. This cliff was made of a tan-colored rock and overlooked a tropical rainforest, with a handful of winding rivers going though it. I jumped off the cliff and started falling. But it was a really floaty sort of falling, I was probably only falling about 20 miles an hour.
I actually became lucid while when I was about 2/3 of the way down the cliff. When I became lucid, Some form of dream control became activated, with or without my consent, converting the rainforest into this park area. All of the trees in that area went away, and a grid of concrete pathways spread out in all directions. They left cells, about a hundred feet on edge filled in with grass.
I was able to make trees grow in the cells with dream control. I thought It would be cool to fill the cells with palm trees, but when I tried to do so, trees of every variety, including palm trees filled the cells.
I couldn't really care that my control over trees was as accurate as I wanted. I finally hit the ground and walked along some of the paths. Eventually, I got to the edge of the pathways where they met with what remained of the rainforest.
I noticed there were a couple of houses, one of them I recognized as S's house. His mom and dad came outside. (If I wasn't already lucid, this would have been a dead giveaway that I was dreaming, because S's parents are divorced.)
And for whatever reason, I told them I wanted to play hide and seek with them. I told them that I would hide and they would try to find me. They covered their eyes and started counting.
I ran around to the back of their house where I planned to either fly up high somewhere they could never look or turn invisible. I realized I have no idea how to turn myself invisible. So I used my focus flying technique to fly up onto the roof of their garage, where a large tree that isn't there in RL had grown branches over the roof, and this gave me enough cover to hide from them.
I just hovered there for a minute between the roof of the garage and the tree, as the dream characters tried to find me. They walked around the house at-least twice. Eventually I flew down and revealed to them that this was in fact my dream, and that I had used my flying powers to hide from them. (I'm not entirely sure why I wanted to play hide and seek with dream characters at the time, but looking back, it was pretty funny.)
S's "mom" was very impressed and excited to be a part of this dream, but S's "dad" was very angry that I had "cheated" by being lucid. (Ugg crap here we go again!)
His face and body began to distort in a freakish way. His head grew huge and his body became very small and fat. His skin was as red as a cherry and he was yelling obscenities at me. Let me just say that seeing something like that "realistically" is actually quite scary.
"Stop!" I yelled. "This is my dream, and I am in full control!"
But it didn't work and I woke up.

Okay, so every night I try to have a wild, but I fail. But tonight,I didn't try to have one, and I did! So my dream was, I was Jake, and Finn was at the other side of a large plain. I realized I was lucid, so instead of running, I tried to stretch. It was not as easy as the show makes it seem. The most I could make was a few feet, but when I got there, Finn and I explored the woods and found an intricate dam system made of dirt. While the man who lived there was yammering on about how it worked, I poked holes in the dam where the guy slept. After that, my dream changed, and I lost lucidity.

fragment 1:

I was in some school, yes I'm starting to realize just how many school dreams I have. I was trying to read some book out loud but I couldn't read the words and they kept changing on me. This guy next to me was pretty good at reading them and he helped me out. I woke up, too stressful.

Dream 1:

It started in front of my parents' house, I was about 8 years younger. I was hanging out with some old friends from high school, they were smoking a couple joints. I spontaneously became lucid, took a joint, and went to the back yard. there were a bunch of younger kids there smoking weed and doing lines of coke. I was a little shocked, thought they might be a little too young. But I knew it was just a dream and I didn't want them to turn on me since there were a lot. So I just waved and sat down in a chair with my joint to relax. After a couple minutes one kid threw a football to me. He bet me that I couldn't even throw it back to him, he was right. I tried to and it went really far over the house. He was nice about it though, he just made a big grin and ran off to get it. I got up and flew over the house to get there first. On the way there I met another dreamer on the roof top. She asked me some question about dreaming then waved goodbye, odd. I flew down into a random patch of giant purple trees, grabbed the football, and threw it back to him.

While walking back to the house, I imagined what it would be like if my parents came there. I then saw a yellow taxi materialize out of yellow light, decided it wouldn't be the best for the dream, so I made it vanish. I made it re-materialize for a couple seconds just to make sure I could do it again, then made it disappear for good. I walked back into the house and then woke up.

Dream 2:

I liked this dream more, I started out lucid. I was in a forest, in the mountains, wearing an old-lady outfit and a white-haired wig. I looked a little bit like Dana Carvey dressed up as old church lady. These kids drove by me in a jeep. It was on a dirt road and they were going very fast, so I decided to follow them. Edward Norton was with them for some reason. As I walked down the road, I heard a chainsaw off in the distance and trees started falling all over the place. I kept walking though, not worried about it. I eventually got to a clearing and I saw those kids hanging out there, then the perspective changed (I started to get a little bit semi-lucid at this point). I was now watching myself from their perspective. I saw some dude dressed up as an old lady go over and start picking weed from a giant patch of it. One of the cocky, stoner kids ran over to try and steal some. I went back to the point of view of the old lady, grabbed his hand and said, "No you don't, mister". Then they all came over, and some weird DC came out of the forest. The weird DC was called Action Jackson, he was about 3 feet tall, very fat, and he was carrying an enormous chainsaw. Immediately, Action Jackson started cutting down trees. I said to him, "Noo Action Jackson, stop that! Somebody's gonna get hurt". He just stared at me with a confused look on his face and cocked his head to the side. I noticed a giant error sign flashing over his head(It was a triangle with an exclamation point in it). Action Jackson then exclaimed, "I Need More Beef!"

He started cutting off one of the chubbier DC's heads. I told him again, "No, Action Jackson, that's naughty! Bad Action Jackson!" He stopped for a second, looked at me confused, then proceeded to cut off that guy's head until it was completely severed. He came after me next, so I flew into the air but he started flying too. I decided that this was getting a little bit out of hand. I became invincible and let him try and cut my arm, to show him that he couldn't hurt me. That really upset him, he looked both confused and angry. After he realized he couldn't hurt me, he tried to cut off another DC's head, so I took his chainsaw and threw it. It was spinning through the air and it cut off some DC's leg. The DC tried to balance by waving his arms wildly in the air, but he eventually fell on his face.

Since Action Jackson had been dealt with, and the edges of the dream were starting to blur, I wanted to try my third task again before I woke up (Advanced object/DC changing). I decided I would turn the earth into many little earths while I was on it. I put my dream hands together and focused on making the earth split in two with my mind. It started cracking, layer after layer. It happened beneath my feet so I walked over to one side so that I wouldn't fall in. Eventually there was a huge crevice going all the way across the dream landscape. I started to wake up, tried to DEILD, didn't work. Oh well, maybe I'll get it next time

I was in a dream place. I remembered doing MILD, and I was like "oh I am obviously in a dream" without doing a reality check. I was, so I walked around my house telling people they were apart of my dream, and they said yeah but didnt really care. So I decided to find a way to wake up in my future dreams, so I closed my eyes. When I did this I tried to open them, but instead I felt the muscles IRL trying to move but paralysed. I could not see, and could not open my eyes for 2 or 3 seconds. It was not scary, but interesting and so amazing.

I will call this my official fully remembered, in control, lucid dream.

First Dream:

I saw a rabbit sitting in a meadow - a fat one - not the wild ones - like they are held as pets.
It somehow looked sinister - it looked into my eyes and something was wrong.
In the fur appeared (yes - I had noted it not being there before) a piece of paper with handwriting.
And it said, once I had touched the paper and such the rabbit - it would be my curse.
And it was - I didn´t get rid of it - not possible to lock it in somewhere - not even to lock me in somewhere - he always came through and needed to be fed a lot - which was not a nice sight, more like a vulture in eating style. Also it kept looking at me nastily.
When I plotted with a friend, how to kill it - it got aggressive and started biting and being toxic.
We managed somehow, though - to get rid of it - only for me to then have the same problem, just in much bigger with an enormous black dog - sheep-size.
Similar story - but end of the dream was - dog locked in in a car - me feeling safe for a while (why ever - they always broke out..).


WBTB after 6 hours of sleep - in my sleeping position on my stomach WILD try.
This time really concentrating on my mantras and not falling asleep in no time like last stomach try.
Eventually I gave up and rolled to the other side - fell asleep.
Had one of the in the house of this friend´s parents dream - much less nervy than usual.
Actually with a weird twist - I had looked at photos from ages ago, that he made irl, when I finished school.
And I accused him of having made great copies on photo-paper for my friends - and I was supposed to get them later - being "family" - with me it was okay to not be ready, when he said so..
That´s even true - still don´t have them..
And lo and behold - his mother was on my side.

Maybe that was so unusual - don´t know - did a RC - looking at hands and counting fingers - sure enough they got more and more with the counting.
Dream very unstable - and I forgot to stabilize or think of my goals..
Woke up - and was again, which is nice - able to DEILD right back in.

Not much good it did me - again only RC - and I actually must have forgotten something.
Because I had a reason, to want up a tree - and can´t remember it.
There was a leaf-tree close - with thin branches with leafs in my reach.
What I did think was - lucid - I should have the strength to just grab up and up and go up that tree like an ape.
Nope - the last scene was me hanging maybe 1 meter over the ground, having my arms slung around a bunch of branches.

I remember I was kicking the footy around (Australian Rules Football) with the geelong boys. it was kinda a game kinda not, I remember running up the wing and fumbling the ball a lot but side stepping everyone (im confident in the sidestep) and snapping a goal wile Paul Chapman called for the ball, then a friend of mine (not from waking life) was very angery about someone insulting his religion (muslim) I explained to him that he didn't insult his religion and that in fact he miss heard him and he was talking about something els. he eventually calmed down. we walked out of the locker rooms to join the footy boys but a WAFL team had come to train and we had to leave, I recognized the coach from when I used to play from them.

I got in the back seat of the car with the muslim dude and throw my boot into another car and keep my other boot with me. we where driving home, and heres where it gets interesting, I thought "I cant wait to sleep tonight to try to lucid dream tonight!, oh right reality check!" (I was already very suspicious that I was dreaming because when I think reality check I kinda realize im dreaming but its just hard to accept)

I looked at my left hand, normal but I poked my right index finger into it and Valla straight through, I got very exited and started cheering and then I stabilised I looked out the window of the car, we where driving along a road through woods with skinny straight trees, I wanted to leave the car so I though "bust through the roof!" but im new to lucid dreaming and knew I wasn't advanced enough to do that, instead I asked them to slow down (they did but only a little because we where still flying)

I opened the car door steeped to the edge and kinda willed the car away with my eyes closed, I opened my eyes and there I was standing on the road!! yay the car was long gone, I looked to my left, more forest, to my right was like another world, a cartoon one kinda, "cool" I though as I wondered into this world, I keept changing worlds and a saw an art picture of like a giant statue thing crying that I swear and had seen in waking life, then I woke up.

this was only 4 hours into sleep so it wasn't very big or very vivid but hey that was enough to keep me happy

I'm sitting on the couch in the living room of my apartment. The living room is about 10' square. Behind me is the bedroom at about 10x14. There's no door between, and the opening takes up most of the wall so it feels like essentially one room. The floor has large rubber knobs on it that seem like a tripping hazard. That seems unusual to me, so I decide to do a reality check. I reach up and grab my nose, but I can still breath, so I decide I must be dreaming. I push a little with my mind and become lucid. Suddenly everything's in color. I'm turning around the room taking in the sudden vivid colors of reds and blues. I sit down on the floor and run my right hand over the carpet. I can see into the cabinet from this angle but I don't remember what's inside. There's white light coming in from the front window. As I make my way back to the bedroom, Gibbs from NCIS is there. My bedroom is crammed full of stuff. There's a strange foot-powered table saw. Where the bed should be there's a boat with a hammock built into the top.

Someone else comes in through a door that wasn't there before. He and Gibbs and I walk out through this door, and it seems like I'm stepping out of my reality. My apartment was like a sound stage. Commander Riker is asleep on a couch in this room. It's dark. There are no windows and I can't tell where the dim light is coming from. This room is about 12' square. To the left as I came in was another door, with Riker's couch on the same wall beyond it. The other man has a cell phone that can communicate with the waking world, including sending pictures. I decide I want to grab it and send myself a picture of this crazy dream, but he isn't there anymore. Now there's an angry trashcan with ephemeral lightning bolt arms that I have to fight with my mind.

I wake up and decide to try to return to the dream, so I lie very still and try to trace my way back into it. I don't remember the specifics of the rest of the dreams, but I remember bouncing from lucid to awake several times like a rock skipping on the surface of a lake. Inanimate objects kept being turned against me and I had to struggle with them. I think I was chasing the man with the cell phone or the organization he worked for. In the end, the closet doors opened and all of my clothes piled onto me at once until I couldn't move.

I rewrote large parts of this Dream Journal Entry, because the original one seemed a bit flakey. (Most likely because I wrote the original Now, I'm able to properly explain what happened.

Where things get Weird

I was in my front yard, and lucid when two dream characters show up. (They show up in this really cool black car nonetheless) I recognize them as Marcus and this other character that I recently identified and named Jack.
It was at this point that for some reason, I thought of the basic TOTM for this month. To ask a dream character for a present and see what you get. I never said anything out-loud about the TOTM, but I thought about it.
I think Jack is the one who gets out of the car and offers me a small grey gun that he says Marcus invented. (And this is where I think I may have just completed the TOTM.) He gives a short speech about how this is the "next step in personal defense" and asks me to try the weapon out. The weapon looks and feels like the sticky detonator from Halo 4. It has a smooth look to it.
I fire it at a tree, and a large cylindrical grenade sticks to the side of the tree. I pull a trigger, and a number of small fan shaped grenades release from the large one and stick all over the place. Okay, that's a cool feature, but I can't figure out how to make the grenades detonate. Don't know if this is my own lack of knowledge or a malfunction with the weapon.

I false awaken in my own house to find that I have woken up very late on a Saturday morning. Makes sense why I would lucid, so I go downstairs, and go on this site and begin writing a DJ entry for this dream. I then, in my false awakening, go back upstairs and "WILD" back into a non-lucid dream.

I go back into a dream where my lucidity seems very unstable, an anxiety dream about school where I'm stranded there and I need to ride home. Jack shows up again. And let the real weirdness begin.
Jack attempts to convince me that I'm not dreaming. He tells me that my "Guides" (Meaning that he is a guide too now I guess.) are here to help me in waking life. He says I won't be going home for awhile. Telling me that this is waking life, given my groggy lucidity left me confused.
We are walking out of the school. I was at a point where I thought this was RL, and I told him I needed to go get my backpack. He then proceeded to tell me that he was carrying my backpack over his own, took it off and gave it to me. He told me that was in fact a basic test to make sure I wouldn't lose it because of that. So I guess I passed.
We get to the street out front of the school, and we try to get into this other vehicle that's like this very strange tractor type thing. Another detail that I couldn't help but notice, but there was a street named after Jonathan, my dream "Nemesis".
All my regular dream characters, save for the evil one. (Manei, Marcus, and David) started to surround the tractor and get out. There were two more, a younger version of Lia who looked to be about 10, and a younger boy who was probably 6. We get out and we all start to get into this really nice black sport's car. (Is that like my dream character's only way to get around.) I'll really have to draw these cars that I keep seeing. But we have seven people trying to get into this car. I have to sit in the middle of the back. And I don't know where we intend to go.
I'm getting into the back of the car with all these dream characters, and I woke up into my bed.

At my Service

I cannot believe I forgot about this dream.

I was in my school's gymnasium. There were a bunch of people running around and playing with the various gym equipment like dodge-balls and badminton rackets.
Manei approaches me and tells me that I am dreaming.
"Oh... of course I am..."
I do a nose pinch reality check just to be sure. I realize that I am dreaming, but I just felt really lucid. I probably got more lucid in this dream than I did in any lucid dream I've had in a long time. I could really feel the dream world around me. I even thought to myself that my real body is back in bed and this is all a dream, so this was a solid layer 3 dream. (For those of you who are farmiliar with receejones87's layers of LDing)
"Thanks for telling me."
She bows
"I am at your service."
I think to myself for a second. Manei... my dream guide, at my service. Will she carry out any command I give her?
"Jump up and down."
She jumps up and down. Given my dreams take place at about 0.5G's, she is able to jump about her own body height.
"Stop."
She stops.
"What's 7 times 4?"
"28."
Now time to really see how this works. I pick out one of the dream characters playing in the gym. Knowing he is just an aspect of me, I issue this command.
"Go beat that kid up."
She calmly walks over to the dream character, and stops in front of him. She then jumps into the air and spins around kicking the dude in the face. He falls over either dead or unconscious and is bleeding from his nose.

I tried to WILD, not sure if it worked. The earliest part of the dream that I can remember, I was already lucid. I was at my parents house - I had followed my uncle into the house, he was trying to get back together with an Indian lady. They were upstairs, talking, and I had headphones on, listening to a dreaming podcast! It was kind of like one that I heard OpheliaBlue & CanisLucidus do. I was wandering around the house, trying to think of something cool to do. I went into the room where I was sleeping and looked in the place that I used to keep secret things, hoping I'd find some grand secret from my unconscious. NOPE! Just a bunch of old papers. I laid down on the bed, in the same place and position that my actual body was laying down. It felt really odd, I started to notice my body asleep. I could even hear the breathing. I took off the headphones and the dream started to fall apart, so I did my new little stabilization technique (I made the Ohm sound and felt it vibrate through my dream body and then all over the dream area). Worked perfectly! I remembered that I wanted to do something to get points for the competition, so I made a weed grinder fly across the room. Then I focused on a can of Coca Cola to turn it into a lot of little baby coca cola cans. First it just split in two, then it started to form a lot of little cans as each new small can split into 2 more. Eventually I had about 32 baby coke cans and I figured that was good enough. I then remembered that I wanted to do some Psyblade.

I went out of the room and asked for the Keymaster! I looked around, saw two guys outside, thought about asking one of them if they were the keymaster. Instead, my uncle told me that he was upstairs in my sister's old room, in a painting on a wall. I went up there and found a few paintings. One was of a flower, and the keymaster one was sitting on the floor, in the shape of a portal. I guess I had to fill in where I wanted to go or maybe just draw a doorknob on it. I forgot to stabilize again and I felt a surge of adrenaline. Woke up and jumped out of bed, a lot of energy.

In school. A teacher is scolding me in front of the whole class. I am not sure if this is a dream or not, but take a risk and shout, "Bitch!" This marked the start of my dream. Some classmates fought me, but I won. Unfortunately, I couldnt shoot web or have Wolverine claws.
I got bored and went kissing some girl. What the hell, everything was blur. I couldnt see her face.
Afterwards did some experiments like webbing, then lost lucidity.

After second false awaking in dream i decided count fingers. I had about 7 fingers, and decided to go through a wall. Easy. I was in neighbour's flat. I decided to make snowstorm and a sculpture and wished some free space. I went throgh the wall again thinking about tleport to the nature. In the wall i saw windows with diferent locations and they were like layers. I didn't like some locations, because there were streets, flats, yards. And finally i saw a layer with a summer field. I wished to be there and found myself in the grass. Then i wished to change it in winter and i saw, that from the skyline it changed in white. In ten seconds the white colour came to my feet and i stood in the winter field. The grass was gray and with hoar - frost. I wished snow in the air - it became snowing and i saw that some snowflakes not natural, but like decoration. It was funny. I began to make a snow storm, and had no idea what sculpture to do. Then i was curious what was my snow like. (There was already some snow on the grass) I touched it and it was like cotton mixed with snow and wasn't cold. And i awoke.

#253 - DILD - 4:28AM

I get really annoyed with the quality of DEILDs so I hope for DILD

I am watching Nick and Hank from Grimm talking in front of a building with a covered pick up/drop off area. Nick walks away and I feel that I am supposed to follow him. I feel like this all a video game and watch as he turns right toward another really close building. I wonder what will happen if I turn the other way. I say, "Screw it." and turn left instead. I follow a narrow alley like a hallway between buildings for a few feet and it suddenly stop at a dead end. I am little shocked and hear loud dun dun DUNN music. I figure this part of the game was not supposed to be seen and I broke the rules. The idea of limited environment makes me think of the dreams pace and I suddenly become lucid.

I hurry back to were Nick went but he is nowhere to be seen. I try to think of my goal but all I can remember is my back up plan, ask a DC for a gift. Damn. I really had something in mind but I just can't recall it. I become afraid that I will destabilise by thinking too long on this so I move on. I look around and see that on the side of a building there is a stairway leading up and an elevator. A Hispanic man in a hair net and white uniform walks up to the elevator, pushes the button and waits. I approach him asking, "Do you have a gift for me?" He looks scared and puts both hands in front of him as he starts speaking fast Spanish. The elevator door opens and I walk in giving up on the man.

Inside, there are three or four men. They look like business men in suits but one gets my eye. He's a large ginger who looks a lot like Arthur Weasley. I ask everyone in the elevator but look at the ginger, "Do you have a gift for me?" Suddenly, they all become very nervous and start clearing throats and muttering uncertain words. I wait patiently with both hands held behind my back thinking they surely have something to give me. The ginger starts patting his pant pockets and dives a hand in one. He quickly produces a coin and tosses it in the air toward me. I think that my dreaming eyes will be unable to follow but I deftly snatch it out of the air. When I look at the coin I see it is copper colored. "Oh. A penny." At that, the elevator door opens on the other side and I exit not ready to give up on this.

I am now in what looks like a waiting room lobby full of people. As I stroll through, I spot an extremely beautiful blonde woman lounging in an arm chair. The room darkens save for a beam of light on the woman. She appears to be from the 40's era but looks strangely like an older version of a Disney star who's name escapes me at the moment. I stop dead in my tracks with my jaw on the floor. I timidly approach the woman having real anxiety and shyness. When I get close she looks up at me. I am barely able to speak at first but my words suddenly rush out at the end, "Um hey. Um so...do you have a gift for me?" I give a nervous smile.
She smiles and nods, "Mmmm Hmmm."
I suddenly lose my nervousness at the prospect of sex, "Oh do you?"
She just rolls her eyes and gets up moving to the other side of the room. There is very large purse or cloth bag on a chair. She reaches in then pauses, "Wait. Do you have a gift for me?"
Shit! I am at a loss and begin to act like the guys in the elevator. I pat my pockets finding nothing but suddenly remember that I can just summon something. For some reason I don't want to be a show-off so I use expectation to find a gift sitting in the room. I turn around and there is a couch with people on it. I walk to the end and expect to find the present sitting on the other side. I push past a woman in a chair and reach down hoping it will appear. My hands grasp on a small box and it materializes before my eyes. It's neatly wrapped in white paper with green and red ornaments on it. Yes!

As I walk the package back to the woman I think that I had better decide what the gift is. I don't want it to be something lame. Judging by the size, I decide it should be jewellery. She's now holding a medium sized box wrapped in red paper with green stripes. We quickly exchange gifts and I tear into mine right away. It's a white box with some writing on it that looks a lot like a board game. I squint to read the yellow writing: NATIONAL LAMPOONS AND BREAKFAST CLUB TRIVIA. I ask if this is a board game and she nods smiling. "Thanks!", I say.
She now unwraps her gift revealing a black felt box. (The type you would expect to have jewellery in) Then, she asks an odd question, "Where does it go?"
I am confused and not sure I understand, "What?"
She repeats herself more clearly now, "Where... does... it go?"
Still thinking she is being very odd, I think "necklace" and trace a line on her chest near her neck. I answer, "Right there."
She smiles and begins to open the box as I take the seat next to her. She pauses, "Is it Lavender Ruby?"
I picture a white gold necklace with purple gems. Wondering what the hell is wrong with this woman I answer, "Well, It's um purple. Amethyst, I think."
She lifts the lid only slightly and quickly closes it looking a little disappointed.
Guessing her thoughts, I ask, "You're going to return it aren't you?"
Without looking at me, she gives a slight nod.
I become annoyed and a little hurt at this, "Why are you being a bitch in my dream?"
Her only response is a playful pouty-lipped-look. I feel bad about calling her a bitch and hug her. I close my eyes as we kiss. The kiss feels odd and I suddenly break away.

I think about how this woman is so lifelike but isn't real at all. In fact, she is just... me. I become curious about what part of my subconscious she is so I ask, "Who are you?"
She smiles and responds, "How are you?"
I don't find the humour in this and sarcastic reply, "Haha how funny." I try again, "What's your name?"
This time get a an actual answer but it seems she is lying because she stumbles on the name like she is just making it up, "Amar...rosa."
"Your name is Amarosa?" (Not Omarosa. There was a distinct 'A' sound.)
She smiles at me and snuggles into my chest. I put an arm around her and want to enjoy this but decide this is wrong. I go ahead and let her down gently, "Well, Maybe in the next life but not this one." I push her away and see looks at me questioningly. "I'm already married. Sorry but I have to go." As if on cue I wake up.
