Lucid Dreams
#252 - DEILD - 3:09AM I have a FA and try to DJ a non lucid. My wife starts talking to me and saying something about how she really enjoyed waking up with me in the middle of the night to eat a meal. I ask her if that really happened but she stops talking giving no answer. I become slightly annoyed and ask again. No response. I go back to DJing doubting the whole experience. I notice my journal app has a section for "Magazines" and I can seem to find the area to start typing. My wife starts talking nonsense and I decide this is all a dream. The whole thing pisses me off and I say, "You're not even my wife so leave me alone. Leave me alone in the name of Jesus. How's that?" I'm not sure why I said that but I think it meant it as a mockery or insult.I get up and enter the bathroom. I see my reflection in the mirror and I begin making crazy faces at myself. Then I say something in an impossibly deep voice. I have an FA and immediately do a nose plug. Have to do several to makes sure but each on blows clean. I get up but this time I am totally blind. I try several tricks but nothing works. So I just start walking around trying to see my hands. I have another FA and see a red light on the wall. "Jeeeesus. Again?" I nose plug and move out of the bedroom. Some how I see another red light though the door and I think that if I open the door the room will the light up in red. I am disappointed when nothing changes so I stop, close my eyes and do the Nestea Plunge expecting water. I hear the slash and the sounds of being deep under water. I don't feel wet but feel a sense of pressure on my body. I make swimming motions enjoying the feeling for awhile. Then suddenly, I am in a bath tub naked with no water. I hear a sound like a garbage truck outside. There is a window on the other side of the room and I get up to go look. My wife turns over and I wake up.
Pyramid Size - same size as (walking) people. It was moving with a group of people. People were in a group-line like a wide gate was about to open so no need for single-file. Colour glass slightly frosted. Three sides visible with back side clear glass but blue. light yes shadow non, like it was bright, sunny, midday. People walking behind the 5-6 foot pyramid might see this: *** glass pyramid - Google Search *** I can't find a google image of what I saw at the end of my "What's the target, dream" but it was a living, mostly white, glass pyramid, moving with the crowd of people, to somewhere good. I was looking at the relaxed, happy crowed moving from left to right in my field-of-views.
#251 - DEILD - 2:04AM I DEILD from a NLD ridiculously easy. The vibrations come really weak at first but I remain patient and focus. Soon the vibes get super strong then taper off. I wait a little longer and begin to see a youtube video about Galantamine. I see large print at the bottom: GALANTAMINE CHEATS. Come guy is going on about cheats to make Galantamine fool proof. After than nonsense fades away, I decide to move. I have the usual stuff happen and make my way into the living room and head to the door. It's super dark and hard too see anything. As I reach the door I feel a creepy sense of presence behind me. I turn to look and can see a version of my living room with a recliner in it. There is light only on the places that I focus on but I can clearly see my cats looking at me and a creepy toy doll sitting in the recliner. It evil beady little eyes are looking at me. Fear grips me and I begin to panic. At that point the doll and the cats slowly stalk toward me. I try to phase backwards through the door but can't get it to work. The first and only defence I can think of is to shoot energy from my hands. I put both hands out and they instantly light up with green/blue energy. I make throwing motions and balls of energy shoot at the doll and my cats. Each one misses but lights up the room as they pass. I become less afraid and more impressed with my magic abilities. I have been trying this for so long and now it is effortless. As the fear fades, I decide to try to merge with the doll and understand what it happening. I stop and relax; waiting with both knees on the floor. Soon, I see a small being emerge from the shadows and bump into my stomach with a tiny little hug. With fear returning, I try to grab it to strangle the life out of it but my physical hands move and I wake up clutching my stomach.
Night 6 (Nights 4&5 uneventful) 121813** all approximate: 11 340 545 640 Fragment, I am backing up my car to pick up my mother in law but she keeps reaching out for the car too soon causing me to stop before I get to her. Recalled this around 3:40am during my WBTB. When I go back to bed I do some mantras that "I notice the vibrations" that coincide with me entering most dreams from WILD state...just in case I've lost too much consciousness by the time the vibrations show up, at least that should bring me back to good awareness as I enter the dream. I decide to do some quick SSILD cycles and like FryingMan I decide to experiment with backing off of the cycles and focusing on going to sleep and alternating. I told myself the other day that I was probably experimenting with too many different things but something worked here. It feels like I probably take maybe a little over 30 minutes to get back to REM sleep/vibrations (for me at least) . I am mostly too alert so definitely towards the end I am putting all of my focus on falling asleep through relaxation. For better or worse I changed positions experimenting with different positions due to a little heel pain that I should probably ice and nip in the bud! I get a longer series of vibrations than normal and I try to nudge them on to peak and push me into the dream but they seem to just keep going longer than normal but eventually they subside and no scene forming immediately, it feels like I'm in the void and I start visualizing a scene with lots of DC's and I settle on a big clothing store that is not too far away so I teleport there and I'm in the store floating just above the ground and it looks like a fairly accurate representation of the actual store except no cash registers at the front just big areas of clothes. I make my way through the store checking out different characters some of them looking at me strange and I start thinking a little more sexually and decide to go invisible. It feels like it worked but I did not look down on myself I just proceeded. I think that the women's bathroom would be a good place to go but as I start to go in I decide they are not always the most glamorous of places and I back off from there. I find a beautiful woman in the store with really nice brown hazel eyes and I cup my right hand around the right side of her face and can see my hand and she can apparently see me (lost or gave up invisibility or never was invisible) and we do a little dance then I do a little silly dance and I tell her she should do it as well but she looks at me like she is not going to do that, it's not sexy. And she doesn't look like the kind of woman that would try anything silly. Looking back I get the feeling that my lucidity was fading here. Either the dream fades, my recall fades late in the dream or my lucidity does but I'm leaning towards the idea that I faded into a false awakening after the above, but I'm not sure. All I know is I have some additional non-lucid dreams before awakening and recalling, luckily not letting the LD fade from memory entirely at least! In one of those dreams I was in the old office - the site of which I passed 2 nights ago and thought about - but in the dream it was a combination of the office and a restaurant for some reason. The owner of the restaurant or manager is asking me if I can deliver a couple of packages of business cards on my way out and I look at them and think this is a place in U but I later realized it's in the city several more cities south from there and I said maybe I can get my son to deliver them. How much would you pay him? He said about 7 dollars an hour and I blew that off as an insult and had no plans to follow up with him. I now realize that this is probably day residue from watching a recorded episode of "what would you do" where the owner of a diner or the manager was being rude to one of his workers. Next I saw one of my coworkers eating there on a stool/counter area much like in a diner and he asked me what I was doing and I said I was just ordering some food and I realized that the time is about 820am (in the dream) and I was supposed to be at work at 8 so as I head towards the back door which is now more like the original old office door and I peek out the back door to see if the boss might be pulling up...when I don't see the boss I run up to my car unlock it with my remote and drive off quickly running late for work to my current office. Hmm... perhaps a false awakening since that is a common theme of FAs - running late for work or school... But it feels like I'm remembering the full dream so I don't know and the running late part and "realization" of being late happened towards the end of the dream not from beginning. ~540 am laying in bed recalling my dreams and jot down some notes in DJ. I drift in and out of sleep and sometime around 630 my wife starts some early morning cuddling and at one point my wife gets a little aggressive and although I'm convinced I'm fully awake I double check with a reality check just in case and I am indeed awake. I ask her to be more gentle but realize I was probably not responding enough more focusing on getting back to sleep since I get to sleep in later than her and I know she will be getting up to get ready soon so no time for too much with her anyway. 5-10 minutes later I feel my wife get out of bed to get ready and I decide to try to drift off to sleep for another potential lucid dream and I'm finding myself taking a number of minutes to get back to sleep. Wild vibrations again, and again I am not seeing a scene form so I start visualizing the one earlier, the big clothing store and this time I remember the dressing rooms. Last time I was there IWL a cute mom I know was there with her daughter visiting from university who was waiting outside of the dressing rooms so I decide they were there now and I go to check out the mom. I fly up over to the dressing rooms and I can see her in her bra and pants and she is quite sexy I'm floating above the dressing room area deciding if I want to go down there or move on when I hear what were possibly waking life noises of my son and wife getting ready but I stay calm and I unintentionally but seamlessly teleport back to my house and I go downstairs (in the LD, not IWL) where I was hearing the noise and I see my wife and I tell her let's have a little fun...take off all your clothes and she does and I admire her for a moment and then we do a few things, you know. After a while of that I decide I want to move on to one of my goals to fly to Yosemite National Park. I go out the door and I see the cute neighbor down the street, go check her out for a moment but then move on fairly quickly and I look up at the sky and horizon and think about the direction to Yosemite and start flying at very high speed in that direction. I'm trying to make out some of the features on the ground mostly just green hills and mostly greenish land in a bit of a blur going too fast and it starts getting colder and colder and I decide I am there and slow down rapidly and land on what I decide will be the famous half dome. I can't tell for sure if it is a good representation of half dome because it is gray and snowy all around but I'm definitely high up in the mountains. In my goal I had planned to make it summer if it was not already summer-like when I got there. There is snow everywhere and I think of how Steph was building a snowman related to the tasks of the month that I kind of put on the back burner this month (been mostly camped out in the DILD section of the forums) but sounded fun so I decided to start building a snowman. I built the base snowball about a foot in diameter and then two more each a little bit smaller. I then found two rocks to make his eyes, a stick to make his nose and I was in the process of finding something to make his mouth out of when I started fading back to my bed. I laid still and I could hear my wife going out the front door leaving for the day and figured that may have been what started waking me up. I tried to re- enter the dream but realized I felt too awake and did not try long. Definitely not a false awakening unless I'm still sleeping right now! Haha. I was so sure I was awake and obviously I am but I should have done my reality check when getting up anyway to catch false awakenings! Too many things that I could put my focus on! Perhaps I should make one point of focus into being kind of like a habit and then move on to the next one but it must still have meaning each time to be effective I'm thinking.
Even though I had a lucid dream my recall isn't great so I don't remember all of my dream. I was in a backyard at night when I thought "reality check" so I looked at my hands and OMFG they where short stubby, by this stage I already knew it was a dream and gained some clarity, I pushed my finger through my palm and I couldn't believe it "WOW this is a dream!" I looked at the sky and saw a sky full of stars! I jumped attempting to fly and got some air! probably about double what I can jump in real life I fell very slowly back down. I jumped again and got more air! probably double the air I got before and feel very slowly down again, I jumped again and got soooooo high! I looked down and below me in the yard I was in there was now a big pool, this time I feel quickly into the pool I climbed out and I wasn't wet?! :O I saw one of my mates and said "bodi this is a dream!!" he said "what? no it isn't" I then said wait why am I even talking to you? I pushed him out the way and there was a red car there with more friends inside, they called me over to the car, I jumped in and we drove around (im quite sure I lost lucidity at about this time and slipped into a normal dream consistently I cant remember much els of the dream dream signs; -Bodi -Water -stars -night time -car
I'm convinced that I didn't go into nREM sleep at all last night. My first dream seemed to last forever and when I woke up, only 30 minutes had passed since I fell asleep. I think that this might have been because I took a deep sleep nap yesterday. Maybe I should do this more often so that I can, ideally, do WILD right as I go to bed and REM lucid dream for 8 hours. I like the sound of that. I remembered a lot of dreams last night, and I'm sure there were a lot that I don't remember. I'll try to write them in chronological order. fragment 1: I was in a giant palace of a house, there were 5 floors. Each floor had a glass balcony that let you look down on the fancy living room below. There was one person on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors. I don't remember who was on the 2nd floor, but I do remember he played an audio tape of some guy dying from a stroke. After it was done playing, an invisible being came and sucked this dark smoke out of him. He fell to the ground, dead. On the 3rd floor, there was a sad man that was moping around. He wore a black T-shirt that had the word VICTIMHOOD written on it in red. Dark smoke was sucked out of him and he died as well. There was a sad girl on the 4th floor, she was cutting her wrists. Death came and sucked the dark smoke out of her, she fell to the floor, dead. On the 5th, there was nobody up there but me. Death came and started sucking the dark smoke out of me. I became lucid, grabbed the neck of this invisible being and sucked my dark smoke back in. I knocked death against the wall with my mind and ran down to the 4th floor. I wanted to resurrect the girl, but I couldn't find her anywhere. I tried to summon her. A small doll of her likeness materialized in front of me. I made the doll grow to human size, and brought it to life as the girl. She had open cuts on her wrists and her throat. I mended them with my mind. There was still a big scar on her throat, but I figured that didn't matter now. I went down to the 3rd floor and I think I gave the sad guy a hug, not quite sure. Went down the 2nd floor and I don't remember what happened. I do remember that as I got down to the bottom floor the dream faded to black and I started to wake up. I didn't want it to end yet, so I made a bright flash of light and created the image of that palace's bottom floor. I then started to dance around as I touched the walls to make it more vivid. DEILD: Back on the bottom floor of the palace, I talked to these nice two people that were sitting on couches next to a fireplace. Then started going back upstairs until I got to the 4th floor. That girl was still there. We had sex while a maid, a butler, and a chef watched and laughed their asses off. I started laughing hysterically as well. Not sure what that was all about. I fixed her throat-scar because it was bothering me. I then saw a scene playing out, it was a real-life enactment of the audio tape that was played by the guy on the 2nd floor. A middle-aged Italian man fell on his face, his right leg wasn't working. He managed to stand up after a little bit of a struggle. I noticed that the right side of his face was dropping. He was having a hemorrhagic type stroke. I didn't like watching that, so I went up to the 5th floor again and there was a couch and a giant film screen. I sat down and watched footage from my childhood. It showed how kind and innocent I had been and then it showed how I had once wished that my dad would die. I was very angry at him. It broke my heart to think about that. I woke up fragment 2: I was on a beach with a girl and she was flirting with me. She climbed a palm tree and I followed her. We started making out and her brother was there. He didn't like that so much. fragment 3: I was in a home for poor children without families and I was a lot younger. We were all sitting around a giant table, talking and getting drunk even though we were all ages 10-15. The guy that owned the home gave us this delicious canned food. He made it and sold it. A man that was writing a book arrived in an old, beat up 280z with pea-green paint. I started talking to him, I don't remember what we said, but I feel like it was about dreaming. I gave him a can of the delicious canned food. He left and I woke up. Dream 1: It was a post-apocalyptic world, I was in a city. There were highrises everywhere and a very bleak, gray surrounding. This dream almost definitely got its inspiration from DayZ. I was running around, looking for supplies when I came across a man with a really nice sniper rifle and full tactical SWAT armor. He didn't kill me on site, despite the fact that he could. He gave me a sniper rifle too and we became buddies. He was camping some small garage that had a really nice gun and some grenades laying on the floor. He put a landmine under them so that if someone tried to take them, boom. A couple of guys came along and killed my buddy. The landmine blew them up. I heard zombies coming, attracted by the noise so I ran like hell. I eventually stumbled onto a group of douche bags. Those kind of guys that kill on sight and laugh their asses off about murdering a lone person when it's 5v1. They started firing on me, I turned invisible (it only lasted for 4 seconds). I shot four of them in the head and the 5th guy shot me in the arm. I started running because the gunfight had attracted an army of zombies. These super zombies and zombie dogs started chasing me, but it wasn't fair. They could run faster than me and they could jump higher than me. I woke up before they could catch me. Dream 2: I was in someone's backyard, gardening for them. There was a small cement path behind their house and a huge, white limo drove down the path and stopped about 10 feet from me. The author from the previous dream got out and started talking to me! We both went into his limo to sit down. We started talking about dreams and the talk got fairly philosophical. I won't include it here, but it was very interesting for me. When we were done talking, I got out of his limo and then I woke up. fragment 4: I was hanging out with my sister and her buddies. They wanted me to drink but I didn't want to, I almost never drink. I don't like how it makes me feel. They didn't like that, so I left. fragment 5: I loved this dream, was very similar to Dark Souls. I started in a cave, it was dark but there were candles on the wall. I was wearing full, metallic, knight armor and I was carrying around an enormous sword. After wandering for awhile, I came to a statue. I touched it and it glowed red and started vibrating. The entire cave started to shake and the statue turned into an ancient King. The dude was pissed, he started lunging at me with his rapier. We had an epic battle for awhile but he beat me. It was close though! Dream 3: This was a false awakening from the last RPG dream. I got on DV to type up the dreams while I still remembered, but something went wrong and it only posted one dream. Then I woke up for real.
This happened about four years ago and has stuck with me to this day; it'll also explain my screen name. When I was about 17/18 years old I had converted from agnostic to paganism but was still hovering around the fence about it. I was doing extensive amount of research about different Gods and Goddess' and left that night ended about Hecate and Bast. As I entered my dream state I was in a small room and had the sudden urge to try to change the walls (all my lucid dreams start out this way) It took some time but finally I began to change the walls from one color to another. Next goal was to change locations. Here I was hoping from tropical beach to the center of someone's room but right as I went to leap again I felt myself fly backwards. Something was pulling me in a different direction. I was still fully aware that I was asleep and fought back until I started feeling my dream unravel. In order to prolong the dream I let myself calm down and let whatever unknown source pull me to whatever unknown location. I landed in a heavily shadowed room. The walls and floor were made out of cold grey bricks yet I didn't feel cold. Wherever I was I was high in the air for the narrow slotted widows only showed a starry laden sky. There was someone else in the room with me. I felt her rather than saw her. She laughed at the sound was like a thousand bells ringings but also held a dark edge to it. I asked her outloud who she was and in response I received the thought, 'Hecate' Suddenly she moved, just a quick glimpse of a face that seemed to change with each second. I felt so at peace with myself, not afraid at all. It was like being wrapped in love just standing there in the darkness as something unknown flitted around me. Another thought voiced itself in my head, 'What is it that you desire to know?' And I knew I could ask anything. Anything my heart desired, unfortunately that heart was still very young and in love so my thoughts turned to my current boyfriend. My dream ended shortly after that but it never left me. In all my years previously of looking and researching religions nothing like that has ever happened. Since then I have chosen to walk the pagan path with hecate as my Goddess.
I don't remember how the dream started, but We somehow ended up at this one fort and I finally remembered to do a Reality Check and got Lucid. I saw this one Army truck and was curious what was inside. I went and Opened up the back of the truck and It was Yamimash sitting in the back of the truck. I was all like what are you doing here and so so. We were talking about how he got there for a bit and somehow ended up at my house. I got bored so I went on the computer and see if there's anything I can do while still in this dream. I just got bored of that dream and woke up myself.
----------------------------- 00:00 Wednesday 2013-12-18 comp #16 night #6 LD #12 01:37 bedtime. Exercised late, had to do late shopping afterwards, ate very late, sat around digesting until after good bedtime. 05:47 a long dream about something.....just couldn't get it! Only two really really vague fragments Spent 30 minutes trying to recall, resulting in being VERY awake. 05:57 F1) there were experts and there were newbies F2) pigeons 06:40? out of bed, into rocking chair 07:06 BTB-1. Room feels too hot, bed uncomfortable 07:15? feel no progress, not sleepy at all, a bit hungry, to kitchen for cereal 07:27 BTB-2 feel some sleepiness on tap as I get into bed, comfortable, will get to sleep I predict. 07:45? almost asleep, wife starts snoring put in earplugs. 08:00 wife up to do breakfast duty, bed to myself, let's get down to business I think. 09:25 LD #12 1) on a wide tall circular spiral slide/"staircase". I'm sliding down the staircase slowly. There are girls spaced along the railings in provocative poses. I try to slide closer to one to cuddle, but she keeps sliding away from me. I give up eventually and imagine "OK if you don't want it, fine." it's just not meant to be, I slide farther down the slide, with my hand held behind me in case my "girlfriend" wants to come to me. A moment later I feel a hand in mine and I smile thinking she's interested after all. 2) In a large indoor area walking with a bunch of other young guys, in like a mall. We're playing football. We're horsing around with the ball making mock football plays. We're moving farther down the hallway. At one point the play starts suddenly going in the opposite direction. I'm running along back the way we came with the guys, and I'm running through a group of cheerleaders. All of a sudden I stop dead in my tracks. I look to the left and see some cute cheerleaders. I instantly take one of them into my arms and think, "I'm dreaming." and I'm lucid immediately, quickly. The view becomes super clear and vivid and totally lifelike right away. There are a bunch of people all around. She has her arms around my shoulders but she's standing at a distance. She's looking into my eyes with an expression of amazement/shock/annoyance/confusion/what-are-you-doing? with kind of a frown. She's young and cute. In a few seconds her expression softens and she "melts" into my arms, and we're holding each other tightly and we enter into a deep passionate kiss. I keep my eyes open! I'm enjoying the kiss but I'm thinking ahead. "OK, dream goals!" I think. I feel like I have good waking life memory connection. The dream feels very stable, very solid, I feel like I can indulge for a little. I'm taking in the surroudings around me, and I notice that a second cheerleader is standing directly behind "my" girl. Girl #2 is looking directly at me with a very mischievous "hey baby" expression, and then flashes her eyebrows at me 2-3 times comicly/suggestively, like she's saying "I'm next! Let's have some fun" I want to get to competition goals but here I am in a passionate embrace with a super cute cheerleader. It's interesting I note that the girl I'm still kissing is "fuzzy" and "out of focus" in my "peripheral vision" while I'm looking at girl #2 and around the mall. "OK," I think to myself, planning out my actions, "open eyed kiss with this one, then an open eyed kiss with you [#2], then..." ... and I'm awake in bed. ARGH! Total lucid elapsed time, ~15-20 seconds. Decsion: Cheerleader. Competition points. CHEERLEADER. OK that's settled, easy decision . Way too excited to DEILD back in but I try anyway for maybe 30 seconds. I felt totally in command/control, confident, and the dream stable, but looing at the time of the dream it appears to be right at the end of a 90 minute sleep cycle so it may just have been "end of dream time." Or perhaps I was just getting too stimulated by all the noshing... Really short memory of non-lucid leading up to lucidity, unusual for me... I have a suspicion that I may have "willed" myself lucid, it did not feel like a MILD trigger or a slowly building awareness, in fact right up to the moment of lucidity the dream felt very zombie-like, just-go-with-the-flow. Maybe the first ADA/RC LD? I have recently been using daytime mantras walking around imagining becoming lucid, e.g., "wait a minute! I'm dreaming." And "Stop! I'm dreaming!" So they may have kicked in! Normally I do not remember dream faces well but I got a good look at girl #2's face and I think I have a slight memory of it. (No idea about #1, except I think short haired blonde). Short-medium length brunette hair. A very pleasant face, not super-model-sexy, but very nice girl-next-door, *real* girl look. More like in her 20's than teen. Girl #2 eyebrow flash was actually really funny in retrospect. 09:38 back to sleep again. too excited. up for a bit. 11:07 trying for "nap" still feel sleepy 11:28 wife comes in, wakes me up.
There is so much to write - I will do it in chunks over the day. Even more than the below - but I leave it at a dream and a fragment - forgot what I had dictated. An earlier dream: I was in a lecture on dream-content and real life connections. It was possible to watch other persons dreams - also my own ones. But in the end it was about a supposedly very famous case of - on the one hand mental disorder - on the other hand manifesting things from his dreams in the real world. Funny, now I got to think about Mylynes tutorial.. But he calls it hallucination - in my dream it was manifestation. An earlier fragment: Sitting with a friend of mine in a café she knows the owner of and eating lots of delicious cakes with cream. There is a beautiful girl next table over - but somehow we know, her boyfriend will not come - leave her like that altogether - and we talked about that. The dream: I did a WBTB after 7+ hours of falling asleep - trying WILD a la Sageous. Almost worked - at one point I felt myself slipping in some weird bodily way and saw maybe 10 light-points on the back of my eye-lids - and that startled me awake. Aha! Got to tell Sageous - fell into the trap he so much tries people to warn of.. Naja - after it was clear I was too awake - also with frustration - I rolled over and slept. The following dream had me - luckily! - at that house of my first boyfriend´s parents again. The usual business - if you want to look for the non-lucid part of it - just read back some nights - and you get the picture. I came to hate these weird dreams lately. This time the thought popped into my mind - like hm - I dream of this sometimes. Then it almost went like my last posted miss in the "most stupid way.." - I "concluded" - but it must be real - I am here after all! This time I RCed anyway. I had lucids, where it was obvious from the onset - but this again was one, where I did about 5 RCs before believing it. I keep suspecting that I cheat on the nose-plug - but the finger-counting seems very reliable. Yepp - lucid! I hovered a bit and looked at things - trying to change objects for the competition. But it didn´t work at all - what I looked at fiercely - just got more detailed and clear and more beautiful - but didn´t change. That was a bit frustrating - I also tried it on the younger brother - but that ended up otherwise. No dream-sex as such, not even touching each other - but lets say - we were on about it on our owns. But didn´t work completely - rather I felt excited for a while afterwards - sort of didn´t get rid of it. Maybe I edit this out later - but why actually not write it. What I keep out of here are rather conflicts or situations too close to my personality/real life concerns. Naja - I made fun of everybody without feeling guilty (the mother, the brother, some visitor) - or maybe it is better to say - I made a joke out of myself with "outrageous behaviour". Then I left the flat - I didn´t think of TOTMs the whole dream - but I did think about the comp. Maybe because I didn´t manage that change-stuff - and this was the next and such only goal. Outside I started flying about normally - and came down on the roof of an abandoned train-wagon. Then it came to my mind to try flying superwoman style. Took my right arm up and at a steep angle - well - and wasn´t prepared at all for what I "expected". I shot up at that angle in an absolutely mind-boggling speed - in one blink - I was so high, I almost couldn´t discern features on the ground any more. I believe I squealed and wailed and was absolutely terrified.. Even worse almost - having to decide and take that arm down and expecting not to fall - in less than a second - but I managed to float down. I met a friend of mine then - in front of her door - we went up into her room, talked a bit - I forgot to tell her I was dreaming and see what she says - I just pretended to be normal. When she left the room for some reason - I tried to change her jewellery on a shelf - again - stuff got more sparkly and intricate - but didn´t change. After quite a lot of effort - I thought - ah well - I do it with looking away and expecting sweets instead of a pendant - this worked! It was chocolate with metallic-looking wrapping - I unwrapped it and ate it. Even tasted like chocolate - but not very intensely - and again - it was a bit difficult to feel it in my mouth. Forgot counting eating for the comp.. I was again outside after that, from where I woke up - but I can´t remember any thing at the moment about what that was.

Just had an WILD OBE, it’s 3:29 AM. I woke up in the middle of the night without an alarm, I was really hot and was trying to get comfortable. I found myself laying on my back and I accidentally exposed my left leg and knee to the air. Normally I would have pulled it in, got comfortable, and went back to sleep but I kinda liked the cool air and I thought I could simply try to OBE right there. Why not. So I left my leg out, stayed still on my back. It came easily this time, I fell back “asleep” quickly and I noticed the vibrations come on. I initially tried to exit and I was starring up and out at my door and sort of felt the fear of a night terror! But it was mostly a panicky and hurried feeling of trying to separate. But then I told myself to just gently be still and live with it. I felt the buzzing vibrations shoot all through my body this time. It was kind of cool. I remember hearing someone say they loved the feeling and I kinda did too. As I sat there with the vibrations, I attempted to separate a couple times, nothing really worked. But suddenly one did, I felt like I sat up and did kind of a hop out of bed. I was “standing” beside my bed this time. I decided to run out into the hall way, I felt hurried in this state because I didn’t want to faze back to the physical. I started running down the hallway and stopped. I forgot, I wanted to look in the mirror again! I turned and went to go into the bathroom and someone was in there already, crap. Oh it was just our old intern Nate standing in front of the mirror. I decided it was ok so I popped my head in really fast and looked into the mirror myself. It was weird, I saw me and Nate in the mirror, but I had a ski mask on! And behind it where my eyes and mouth were I was invisible! It was odd because I was in such a hurried state that I was going really fast and I was kind of yelling all scary like in the mirror. It was freaking Nate out! It occurred to me to try to get a picture. So I hurried and got my iPhone out and tried to snap a photo of me and Nate. It was cool I thought for sure this would make me phase back to physical. But it didn’t. I stayed lucid. I took a few shots with my iPhone and I took off my ski mask and my face seemed more normal. Kind of melty though. I took a few more pics of us this time without the ski mask. Then I realized it occurred to me that it was no longer Nate I was with, it was Kim! She and I were having fun trying to take pics together. First I tried to take the pic selfie style in the mirror, then I tried holding the camera out. I couldn’t really get that great of a pic, it was dark. I thought the pics would somehow exist after the OBE, but they didn’t. I checked. Anyway, after we took pics, Kim and I went into the living room and it was all decorated crazily. There were thing white sheets up in the doorways, streamers, and decorations everywhere for Christmas. And presents everywhere! Except they were in the kitchen! It occurred to me that Kim was up all night decorating for Christmas and this was Christmas morning. Sweet. There were even some presents scattered around the house. I was impressed! I can’t remember much after that, I think I started getting fuzzy and then thought it was ok to come back to physical. So I did.
Non Dream Dream Lucid I woke up after a few hours but couldn't get back to sleep. It took probably an hour before I finally meditated long enough to put my body asleep. Once I saw rainbow colored disco lights on the ceiling I knew I was dreaming. I got up, my body feeling heavy, went into the restroom and tried to phase through the mirror to teleport somewhere else. I couldn't phase through it this time though. The dream wasn't stable enough. Turning my attention to stabilization, I looked around and saw the room was a bit larger now. I found a chair in the corner of the room to sit and wait for the dream to stabilize. A screen projected on the wall near where I was. It was a logo of Snoopy, probably 6 by 6 feet in size. It looked like a game so I got up hit the logo with my hand. A video game opened. The first few levels were extremely simple. All I had to do was to guide the character to eat a few dots in a tiny maze, Pac Man style. It took only a few seconds to beat the first couple levels. The last level was much more complex. It was in the style of Super Mario world. I started at the bottom and had to jump on ledges, avoid enemies and go through pipes. It was one of those vertical levels where you have to make your way upwards. Luckily, I found a pipe that led my character all the way to the end of the level. Apparently, I had beat the game. I had freed lots of rabbits which were happily flying and dancing around all over the screen. After this, I woke up.
I'd like to share a lucid dream from early November 2013. This is so far the longest lucid dream that I've had. That night I took B6 100mg after 5 hours of sleep and the LD occurred 2.5 hours later. I am in my bed and I look at my hands (RC) and realize that I’m dreaming. I get up and start stabilizing the dream. I think first I rubbed my hands but I don’t recall for sure. I decide that I need to eat something to stimulate my taste and in fact I seem to think there should be some lobster in the kitchen that I put into shrimp water so it would be tasty. I go in the kitchen and the layout is different from my kitchen. I check a toaster oven and there are slices of bread with something on top but I decide to forgo tasting this. I then look in the oven and there is a filet of fish..again I don’t really want this. Then I look in a pot on the stove and there is something weird and possibly slimy in there and I decide to try it - it was disgusting and I spit it out. Enough for my sense of taste...hahaha. I walk out into the living room and start looking around. The room is completely different and the view outside is so clear. I am on the first floor of a house and I’m looking out through large floor to ceiling (or close to it) windows. I’m in a city. I then go ahead with anchoring and I imagine lines with anchors pulling me and attaching to this world...the lines go down and sideways. I also say out loud some stuff such as ‘I’m all powerful’ and ‘I’m anchored to the dream.’ Outside I see a car and I levitate it without going out. Then I see a van and I levitate it too and make it shoot out into the distance real fast. It went flying but then for some reason started coming back and I caught it with my telekinesis and put it down. Then I made some more cars crash on the street and then I smashed two cars into each other. I also flicked my finger and made a car slide sideways on another street. After I was done having my fun with telekinesis I decided it’s time to move through solid objects. I am trying to put my hand through a piece of wood that is part of a staircase. It is not working and after a few attempts I gave up. There was an older guy maybe a father figure but not my dad. He had some needles without syringes and I assumed he wanted to poke me and either make me fall asleep or wake up for real. I decide that I would not allow this to happen because I don’t want to loose my lucidity. I grab the needles from him and then I try to convince him that this is a dream. I tell him that I will tell him what’s going on but he will probably not believe me. I take him aside and I tell him that I’m a human being and that this is my dream and he is a part of my dream. He of course does not believe me. I take the needles away from him and I want to run away and fly away. He holds onto me for a bit but then I break free and fly away. As I’m flying out I see down the street someone I need to pick up....I think it’s whom I believe to be my girlfriend. I pick her up and hold on to her as I’m flying. In a little while the person I picked up turns out to be my little brother ( I don't have a brother in WL). As I’m flying I say out loud something like I’m still anchored. I decide I want to go see a pretty girl. First I see a house up ahead on my right and I consider this to be the place I will go to see her but then I see a tall apartment building up ahead a bit to my left and I decide that that’s better. I want to drop off my little brother and leave him there and I land. The little guy would not let go of me and I try pushing him off and then I bite him real hard on his finger. I think I almost bit it off...I definitely bit into it and made an impression but it was sort of plasticky and there was no blood. He didn’t seem to be hurting too much and was still holding onto me. I slapped him around a bit and then I grabbed him and smacked him into a tree. Finally he let go and I woke up.

Because this is my first post, I guess a good place to start is at the beginning - where my journey into the lucid state first began. I've always had an interest in dreams. My non-lucid dreams are arguably just as interesting and exhilarating as my lucid ones. My first lucid dream though, freaked me out and to this day (roughly two years later) I still panic when I become lucid - which happens, a lot. I can best describe the place I was in as the Island's of Adventure theme park in Orlando, Florida. To those of you that haven't been, my apologies. I was no doubt in an amusement park abundant in trees and lacking in "rides" - very Jurassic Park I guess. Interesting about my dream was that I became lucid twice. The first time, I was trying to jump off a type of jungle gym that was high off the ground. In real life, I have an irrational fear of jumping off of things - probably because I'm horrible at it. I don't know how, or why, but an odd thought came to my mind in the dream - I thought, I will jump off and if I land, that means I'm dreaming because there is no way I would land in real life. It really was as simple as that. Surely enough I jumped off and BAM! I land perfectly, I knew I was dreaming. As I walked through the dream I seemed to forget all about my lucidity - this was until I came across the first real amusement ride I had encountered throughout the entire dream. It was, as all dream-related things, strange. It was huge, and it was T shaped. The top would spin, much like a merry go'round but high up in the sky and the only two places to "sit" in where at each end of the T. Somehow, I end up on one of these ends and the contraption begins to spin on its own. At this moment I realize again that I am dreaming, as I look down on the landscape of my dream and see a large, dark, ominous-looking lake and think to myself "this will turn into a nightmare if I fall in there." I suddenly remember something my friend, who is very interested in LD's, told me one could do should you ever achieve lucidity - ask your dream a question. And so, I did. I asked "why am I dreaming this dream?" Even as the words were coming out of my mouth I knew I would regret it, the words literally produced ripples in my dream and suddenly, it was all gone, everything was pitch black. (I swear, this happened) I am in total darkness except I am aware that behind the darkness there is some sort of building, a temple of some kind with hundreds of arched doorways. At the same time, everything in my dream was shaking, vibrating and - I know this is crazy - there was this disturbingly loud opera-type music playing. It was not pleasant, the longer I stood there the louder it became. Terrified, I willed myself to wake up, but couldn't. As is custom, I experienced sleep paralysis for what seemed like eternity - I distinctly remember seeing eyes all around me as I fought wake up. I think back to the dream today and it still scares me, I don't even know what it means. But I figured it was important to share, considering it was my first experience. My apologies if it sounded like I was trying to make it overly-dramatic, it was just crazy. Amazing the kind of things the mind can do - but also terrifying.
this dream is from when i was much younger when i was 5 but i can still recall it. So, i am running for my life on a board walk away from a guy with a gun and i eventually run out of energy and partially collapse about 15 feet away from him. out of rage i hit the ground as hard as i could for no apparent reason and a streak of lava flows underneath me towards him and eventually makes its way out of the ground and it and consumes him in a column of lava.
