    1. My first real lucid

      I'm starting my dream journal entries with the hope that they may help some of my fellow aeronauts that are just starting out as well as maybe get some helpful input from those on DV that are much more experienced than I. I started researching and really getting interested in Lucid Dreaming about 3 months ago. I used to have maybe 1 dream a month if not less before I started my quest to become lucid. I read a lot on DV, started a dream journal, etc. In my first week I did not notice any changes until one day I had 3 dreams in one night and 4 dreams the following night. Since then I have been averaging about 5 dreams a night and sometimes as many as 10…not all vivid of course as some are just a tiny portion of the dream that I can recall. My first LD was about 2 weeks after I started my research. And of course as many others I woke up as soon as I became lucid. For the next week and a half or so I had several more LDs where I woke up immediately after becoming lucid until one night….

      I am in my apartment and I’m walking around and I went to get some water. I am walking through my living room and I decide to do a RC (I am assuming I am awake and just doing a practice RC as usual). I look at my hands and it hits me...This is a Dream! I couldn’t really count the fingers on my hand because I couldn’t see them but I knew I was dreaming. The dream started fading at that time because I must have gotten too excited and I started rubbing my hands and trying to spin...that brought me back into the dream. I believe I then did a math problem but nothing changed after that...I was probably fully lucid at that point. Retrospectively, I should have spent a little more time stabilizing the dream before going on. Anyway, I had a glass of water in my hand about half full maybe a little less. I put it down on the little table in the living room and I tried to levitate it. I think it didn’t work the first time but it did the second try. I had the glass levitating in the air about 6 feet in front of me. It wasn’t following my intended movements right away but after a little practice with my newly acquired skill of telekinesis I was able to move it as I expected. I made it move away from me, side to side and then toward me and into my hand. I threw it down to the floor and I wanted to try something heavier. There was some kind of object lying toward the far right corner of my daughters' and I think it was on the bed. I was not able to lift it after a few tries. There was a black handbag on top of that object and I was able to levitate that and I made it go up and them put it back down. There was another item - I think it was a big box. I wan’t able to lift that either so then I gave up on it. I then decide that I want to fly...no problem. I flew around the room for a sec and flew out the window...my thoughts from WL were with me (my concerns of what if I’m not really dreaming and I just fall out the window) but I knew I was dreaming 100% so I just flew out the window. I think the window just opened when I was flying through it. I flew for a bit until I came up to a tree branch and the leaves were like in my face. I just floated there for a second and then I decided I want to fly to the Dominican Republic to see my wife and daughter where they are on vacation. As I am floating I look around to see what direction I need to fly but I can’t figure it out. I call out I want to go to DR..which way do I go? This lady appears...I didn’t see her appear she was just there (a couple of months later I find out she is my Dream Guide and I will post that dream later as well). She is blond and maybe around 5’6 or 5’7 but that is with heels. I believe she was wearing a skirt up to just over her knees and it was either white or light grey...not sure of blouse but I think a light color as well. She is somewhat attractive but not distractingly so. After waking up I was able to rather clearly recall her face (that’s a first...I can almost never recall faces). She starts telling me which direction is what and she points to one direction and says the name of a city or state and then a bit to the left she says that’s Florida and I see a building that makes me think that that’s Florida right there (Dominican Republic is in the same direction from where I live…south). I decide that is the direction I will go. I ask her what is your name. She answered - Dean. At this point we are no longer in the air and we are standing on the ground. I tell her I want to go to DR but then my dream faded and I woke up. The dream lasted about 5 min. I took B6 100mg after about 5 hours of sleep and the Lucid Dream occurred about 2 hours after that.

    2. I think this one was a lucid, but I need more recall. Also I travelled through time!

      by , 12-16-2013 at 01:55 AM (This is my DJ, feel free to comment whatever you want.)
      First I remember being watching something at my Laptop, maybe a movie, and my dad showed up from behind and I was kinda ashamed, i don't know why. After this little segment I can't recall anything for some time. Next thing i have in my mind is being walking in a rute and find a friend who I know IRL. He tells me he is going to a party and tells me something about 50 bucks, I follow him to a bus stop. He starts telling me that he is going to a huge party, he tells me he pretends to take some LSD. Then he tries to explain me which bus should we take (to explain me this he says something about ned flanders, and somehow I understand that we have to take the bus with the 115 number). Suddenly we see a "movile bus stop", this is stupid, i know. I see a bunch of people waiting for a bus in a bus stop, but the bus stop is charged somehow in a truck. So we go there to wait the bus and I close my eyes and start thinking about reaching the party, of course i didn't want to wait the freacking bus. I start concentrating about time travel with my eyes closed and when I open my eyes I'm suddenly in a room with 2 beds, my friend next to me and 2 smoking hot girls. I see a hallucination, some weird colors that doesn't make any sense. Inmediately I think about LSD and tell my friend that I can't remember consuming the drug, so he tells me to look at my eyes at the mirror, so I do, I see my pupil and it is gigantic, I'm tripping hard on acid. Then I look at one of the girls, she is blonde and really skinny. She is totally naked and squirting... a lot... obviusly my libid goes up as hell and then I wake up. The thing is I can't remember how I got lucid, but I had the posibility to time travel so I guess at some point I realized it was a dream. i wasn't even surprised that i time travelled.
      (Im not sure, but maybe time travel is a TOTM?)

    3. RPG to Hangin' Out

      by , 12-15-2013 at 07:34 PM
      fragment:
      I remember only some parts of this dream, and it's kind of blurry. I was playing a medieval version of Assassin's Creed - I was a Knight-Assassin that would run around, solve puzzles and gain new powers in a castle-city. I thought the best part was the sword fighting, I had inhuman ability to jump around and create a flurry of slashes. I eventually woke up from having too much fun.

      dream:
      I maintained lucidity as I went back to sleep, but I wouldn't exactly call it a WILD, I didn't do all of those fancy steps to stay aware I just kind of did it. I started out Lucid and back in the medieval castle-city. I thought for a minute about what I should do when a DC-dreamer came up and started talking to me. He was, in the dream, a DC that was supposed to be my old best-friend's dad, but he wasn't all scary like in my dream from last night. He was also not a DC in the dream, he was a dreamer. I asked him what he was doing in my dream and he told me that he just wanted to hang out, after waiting a couple minutes, my old best-friend (his son) came to join us. We went and played a little bit of the medieval Assassin's Creed until we got tired. So I picked up my cat and decided I was going to walk up to a hillside bar that was overlooking the ocean to have a drink. We decided that we would meet there, so I took my cat and on the way there, tried to run through a wall but failed miserably and just bounced off and fell down. Was pretty much what you would expect to see in the waking world if a person tried to run through a wall. The cat didn't like that so he jumped out of my arms and ran away.

      I then met my DC-girlfriend on the way there and we strolled and talked. When we got to the bar we saw a young Elizabeth Taylor, sitting at a table outside, in her full costume from the movie Cleopatra. We sat down at a table nearby and I drank a tall glass of whiskey. It tasted like delicious candy and I got a little tipsy. My two dreamer friends made it there and they had brought a couple more dreamers, but these guys were hardcore, devout religious guys. They all started drinking and getting drunk. I looked over at Elizabeth Taylor, still sitting there, and decided to change her into the Queen of England, another Elizabeth. My DC-gf thought that was pretty funny for some reason, so I changed the Queen of England again into Anne Hathaway and turned my DC-gf into Elizabeth Taylor. At this point, one of the religious dreamers got really upset that they were drinking, he said, "I don't care if this is a dream, we shouldn't be drinking! Look at all of you, getting trashed, this is shameful!"

      I told him to relax and that it was only a dream, but his face turned red as a cherry and he proceeded to yell at the other dreamers. I ignored him and flirted/made jokes with my new gf, Elizabeth Taylor. The religious dreamers left and the remaining four of us decided to go up to a club that I called the 4400 club. It was at the top of a highrise. A DC opened a door to the place and they all walked in, and he took out an enormous 80's cell phone to call the police and tell them we were trespassing, so I took his phone and smashed it. He took out another phone that was much newer, I smashed that one too. Helpless, he sighed and walked away. I went up to the club, trying to catch up to the other four. When I got there, a big band from the 1920s was playing music. People were dancing, having drinks, and just having a good time in general. I noticed a room at the edge of the building that was very quiet and serious. I thought that looked interesting so I went in there and these guys were having a telekinesis competition. They were each trying to push a piece of paper off the opposing side of the table with their minds. These guys were very serious about the competition of this game, they would all cheer when somebody won. I decided to play and I shot the piece of paper off a little too quickly, it went flying through the window and out into the ocean. Then an old friend from high school started talking to me and I punched him in the face, but in the dream it was more like an amiable punch to the face, this was a dream after all. Then I woke up

    4. Finally Lucid Again - Being Hugged And Swirled And Keeping Eyes Closed TOTM

      by , 12-15-2013 at 07:23 PM
      I went to bed late - woke up only 2 h later - and had no recall - didn´t try very hard.
      Seven hours after falling asleep - I did my WBTB.
      Reading through my workbooks - I found out, that the successful tries were all rather late - misleading, that I had put alarms earlier - but did the actual attempts later.
      Good that I kept book with this.

      I remember two dreams from before, one older fragment - and the dream, that made me lucid.
      Again I had given up on WILD - with RC this time - not a FA - rolled over and fell asleep.

      That dream was again situated at my old school - but I was grown up - like my friends - and we were organizing an exhibition of what we were doing now - it later changed into mainly an art/handicraft/invention show.
      I was going outside on the school yard - and noticed, that I was naked - two attractive young beaus close - after a short shame reaction and flight reflex - I suddenly realized that noo way I would be naked there!!

      Copy-Paste from TOTM:

      Quote Originally Posted by StephL View Post

      Also the "harder" basic one.



      Bit weird - I had be-mantra-ed and visualized and so on - my most frequent dream-signs in the day - and also put intent on all but that task.
      What made me lucid, was ironically one of my dream-signs, which I hadn´t worked on: being naked in public.
      I thought - noo way would I be naked here - bam!

      Was obvious - needed no RCing - buut: I did the hand-looking again - and first I thought - wow - they are perfect from the get-go - no need for staring them sharp - but when I counted fingers - I had one more on the right hand!
      Now I´m not sure, if it was because I expected it or not - but it was an interesting sight.

      And then - an attractive guy, who was standing there with a friend - came up to me - hugged me, lifted me and started swirling me around.
      That´s when I closed my eyes - spontaneously - and remembered the task - and kept them closed and counted.
      All the while being hugged and swirled, which felt wonderful.
      And when I opened them - he put me down - and there was still the dream - so I guess it counts - even if I woke up maybe only some seconds afterwards..?
      This eye-closing can be great, if you have something to feel!!


      Soo happy, it started working again!!

      Earlier Dream 1:

      Again a journey with a bus (not that I would have ever done a lot of these - in school/in my youth latest).
      Me and a group of maybe ten more people were staying at hotel, which was almost empty - and had for some reason two staircases next to each other - some weird spatial relations - can´t really it picture any more - only a bit.
      We had been staying there - but in far apart rooms - and most of these rooms didn´t even have furniture besides a mattress and some junk - but there was a breakfast room, where we met up - all a bit over plush and baroque-style there - lots of velvet and diamond-knurling (looked it up..).
      When the bus was about to depart - I had to use the toilet super-urgently - and hunted through this building for a facility. Finally decided on an unorthodox one - and got caught of course.
      But I managed to keep her from telling somebody else and making stress.
      Then of course - the bus was gone - but I found it after some back and forth around the corner.
      And we departed - home actually it was to.

      Earlier Dream 2:

      I had to lead a discussion and brainstorming group - and nobody wanted to contribute - and it was not on me, to do it myself.
      So I thought, how I could lure them out.
      I tried to plant some ideas, but making them think, they would be theirs - and be in the mood to follow them.
      This worked quite nicely - until one woman stood up and kicked up a general fuss - accusing me of this - and making it sound as if I would brain-wash people.
      But then she got going, and came up with tons of ideas of the sort, that was useful.
      The others only looked on - and me and her ended up in agreement.
      So sad, I forgot, what it was about.

      Earlier Fragment:

      Doing removals again - this time not from free choice and after my will - but I had to.
      Needing to find a new job.
      It was stress and I felt, it was my fault how it came to pass.

    5. Never too late for lucidity

      by , 12-15-2013 at 01:51 PM
      Bed time: 1h20 / Wake up: 11h20

      induction: relaxation, mild, alarm deild, mild imsonia 1h

      4h10: first natural awakening, immediately went to bathroom, thinking about my dream, but only at the very end of sleep do i remember some fragments. I remember being in the city i lived before i moved to university; i was wandering around the city, and i saw some familiar faces, many had aged a bit, but the feeling of seeing them again gives me a good feeling. This is a very recurrent theme

      5h50: second natural awakening; very quiet awakening; very vivid dream but aversive dream content. As i try to remember the details i close my eyes and notice there is still some visual hypnagogia. i felt i could have tried DEILD, but opted to DJ instead

      6h-7h: i choose to do some autogenic relaxation and MILD, but it was difficult to fal asleep again for an hour. Also set my alarm deild.

      10h20: wake up with lots of dream fragments, almost like i had many short dreams. i didn´t jot done anything. At this moment, i began thinking i have not much more time to become lucid for 16th competition. i think i give up my intention, but still try again some autogenic relaxation and manage to fall asleep. At some point, i find myself lucid in my previous home, and began to walk very fast and touch every thing i can, while trying to find some dream characters . for some reason, they only appeared at my brother bedroom, but they morphed very soon. During the dream, i had to recover my vision twice. to be more accurate, i waited for it to return, while touching my body and moving around and also visualizing. I kept moving back and forth, trying to find DCs. For just a small visit, i leave my house and go to the apartment complex's hall and stairs, but i felt the environment was more unstable and returned home. At the third attempt to recover my vision, i accidently moved my real body and chosen to wake up. It felt like a 3 min LD, not bad

    6. My first lucid dream?

      by , 12-15-2013 at 12:22 PM
      Some intro about me (which may help you to interpret my dream)
      Well i'm currently 18 years old and i'm in a situation where everything seems to be getting difficult for me. I have to face very very important exams of my life after 2 months..I kind of always depressed guy.I always wanted to enjoy but i can't and i always wished to meet god and ask these questions..also i always feel sad that i dont have good friends & whenever i tried to, they deceived me...but i fear that i will become alone if i decided to leave them.

      So, it was normal day today..I was studying in my room..i knew that i'm tired and i may sleep anytime soon so be ready for dreams . I slept at 1:15 pm:

      PART (I): It was like a normal dream. Everything seemed to be mysterious & i was confused what to do.But, unlike my all all other dreams, in this dream i was having a something different feeling..It was like i knew it's not real and it relates to my real-life problems..I was with my friends (same friends which created problems for me.) We were there in a house..(it was one of my friends i guess) They all were enjoying but leaving me apart..I was totally isolated. AT THIS POINT, i had a feeling that i'm not in real-life..Maybe this is the chance to overcome my problems..I was thinking various ways to get rid of them..i decided that i would kill them one-by-one..but i was afraid of the results...(killing people means you are gonna get into trouble.) but i was constantly having the feeling that it's not real and nothing will happen to you & you will live a very happy life after that..just forget them..so i proceeded ahead..i took knife from kitchen and got behind the door and decided that whoever comes first will be dead...

      ............But, someone horned exactly in front of my house (IN REAL)..so i woke up..i didnt bother who was that stupid horning outside my house..i was still half-asleep..it was 2:08 PM.. i remembered that i was doing some important work but cant remember what so i slept again.......


      PART (II) I was back in dream again, with knife in my hand, waiting for someone to come..but no one came..so i decided that i would get outside and buy a pistol to kill them...as i was leaving, i saw the clock it was midnight acc. to the clock..but when i got outside, there was still some light...it looked like evening time..but it was sadistic whether..everything seemed gloomy....but i realized that it's not possible to see light at midnight (i live in India so obviously not possible.) So, this time i realized that it's surely a dream..i also remembered that i slept at near about 2 pm in near life and i have to go to class at 4PM, so i should quickly complete my task..I thought "if it's dream, why would i need to go outside to get a gun, i can get here" and i went inside..i checked my pocket, i had a gun..now i watched them for a last time..i knew that i'm not killing them in real life...i'm just throwing them out of my life..And.. i killed them all...i took their bodies and hid somewhere where no one can reach..

      As i was leaving the house, i realized that i missed one..he said to me that "i know what you did..whatever you have done, you have to pay for it..remember me."
      And for a second i stopped and called god to take me with you and and punish me for whatever i did..In a flash, i was at a new place, totally new place..Thousands of people were walking silently and entering one large bungalow..Most of them were old people..I knew..GOD is now going to decide their faith..Either HEAVEN or HELL...I saw my parents..I was worried,,they shouldn't have been there..i started walking with them until we reached at final point.I so there was a old couple..They looked like they just died sometime ago..and there was a screen, where they had diff. split screens..one was showing the real time people in their real life...other played the bad stuff they did, while other played the good stuff they did..
      and, they were selected for the HEAVEN..now it was our turn..we 3 were waiting for result..But i remembered that i never died, nor my parents..it's just a dream..infact i was sleeping in my bedroom and my mom in her room..SO, this is my dream and i can do anything in it..that's it..NOW, i completely knew that i'm dreaming..I SAID TO MYSELF- "STAY RELAXED OTHERWISE YOU WILL LOSE THIS CHANCE TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO"...so with my powers i overturned GOD's decision and brought us back home from there.....I was like i was travelling in a wormhole..I was feeling intense pressure..I felt like i would get awake anytime soon but i wanted to dream more and somehow managed it..

      ..............I was at a beach....most wonderful beach in the world...sun was shining brightly..[in contrary to all my dreams..because most of my non-lucid dream contains darkness, lowlight, gloomy-ness]...I knew i did overcome my problems..so it will be a happy life ahead...I knew it's happening only because i could control the dream..I thought of a a wonderful beach house & it was there..i knew that i can bring anything which i wanted..I reached house..i saw calender.. it was 1o years ahead probably..so i was in my future as i wished..I say my parents sitting there with joy and enjoying there..Then i say down, in the swimming-pool i saw two unknown people..I thought it must be me and my wife..i jumped from nearly 50 feets directly into the pool (as i knew nothing will happen to me)... YES it was me..my future..with my future wife..She was beautiful as i always wished in my real life..i talked them casually and told them that i have come from past to see my future...bla..bla..some timepass stuff... My future said to me "You don;t need to worry about your life...you already have fixed your problem..just enjoy what comes in your way..one day you will be here, at same place, meeting your past me.."
      I told him, i should leave now..cause i have to attend my classes in real time and it must be near about 3:00 or so...so i dint wanted to be late and closed my eyes i thought ok, lets go back home..

      "Wait, lets enjoy more" i thought and i reached my house in dream..I recalled all things which gave me happiness..Starting from my computer,game characters, superheroes (specially batman), a kite , some aliens (:p) ...then we enjoyed for sometime and i thanked them for whatever they gave to me and appreciated my life...But still, one wish was remaining...I WANTED TO FLY...i told batman to throw me upward and check if i could fly...he threw me high and that's it..my long wish came true..i was flying..i could go anywhere i wanted..I waved them..they waved me back...
      BUT IT'S JUST A DREAM, I SHOULD GO BACK TO REALITY..and...

      .........................I was awake time was 3:10 PM..i had most wonderful dream of my life..not only because good things happened to be...but i could control them also...IT actually meant that no one can control your happiness but only yourself..so it's like big morale for my coming life.. I wish to experience same dreams again and again..


      NOW PLEASE PLEASE TAKE OUT SOME OF YOUR IMPORTANT TIME AND WRITE YOUR VIEWS..It matters me most...So, wasn't it a lucid dream or semi-lucid dream?

      I wonder how can it produce such a wonderful dreams in afternoon time, when i just slept for 2 hours and never happened in night when i usually sleep for 6-7 hours..

      It happened just now..NOW, the time is around 4 PM and i was so curious and desperate to post it on Dreamviews, i dint go to class :p

      PLEASE ADVICE..
      THANKS :')

      SORRY FOR MAKING IT SO LONG...PLEASE BEAR MY MISTAKES

    7. Competition Day 3 - dream in a dream

      by , 12-15-2013 at 09:10 AM
      First dream (fragment):
      I was on a trip with our school's orchestra (idk where).
      I was hungry so I searched something to eat. I bought carrots somewhere and ate them together with a couple of cupcakes.
      I met a couple friends, some of those I don't know in waking life. Then a teacher of mine came and said we shouldn't eat...


      Second dream:
      I was in front of a small house with green curtains and I immediatly thought "I'm in Paris".
      It was daytime. Then I started to follow the row in front of the house until a bride appeard. Suddenly I saw the 'Castel Sant'Angelo' and I realised I was in Rome. At that point it was also nighttime suddenly - also I was driving a motorcycle. I crossed the bridge and searched for a street name so I could find my way home. I met my sister DC, and she told me I was heading in the wrong way. At this point I fell asleep...
      I was talking to an old man. I kinda knew I was dreaming, but not really - I even thought that that guy had to be my dream guide - I was very close to lucidity. Then a classmate of mine spoke to me from behind (I couldn't see him). I don't remember whar he said. Then I woke up. Realising I had been dreaming, allthough still in a dream. I was in a red oldtimer together with my sister not knowing what had happened. Anyway I decided to try DEILD and as it was a dream I was succesful.Being *lucid* for a short moment - I just remember blackness from this one. It's just that at this point I knew I was dreaming.I woke up to the red oldtimer again - without having had the opportunity to do anything in my lucidity. Now my whole family was in the car. Then I woke up for real.

    8. 2 Lucid Dreams

      by , 12-15-2013 at 08:48 AM
      First lucid : [COLOR="#008080"]I go on my balcony and realize there's a new door in there. I ask myself what is that door doing there and I enter in it. It leads to my living room. I think it's weird so I do a RC. The RC works and confirms I'm dreaming. I get so excited I open up the window and yell : I'M LUCID!!! Everyone keeps highfiving, yelling and celebrating. I sit on the couch. There are a lot of stuff on the ground but I don't bother looking at them too much.I think about things to do and the summoning idea comes in head. I try to summon some shoes and I could. The shoes were brown with all kinds of glitter on it.I seem angry and I take them on. I try to walk in them but couldn't so I give up.[/COLOR]
      2nd Lucid : [COLOR="#008080"]I'm in my living room, thinking about stuff to do.I try to summon other shoes but fail.I stabilize and the dream gets more clear. I suddenly wonder if I could feel really bad pain in dreams. I look around for something to cut myself. I find a ruler and cut my calve really really bad. I don't feel any harsh pain.I go to the kitchen and see my mom, dad and my sister in there. I yell for mom then point to my cut and she's like : Oh boy, you did it again? Wash it and it will recover soon. Dad seems to give 0 fucks about me and really continues drinking his vodka while talking with mom. I eventually get tired of it and I get a random sweater and go outside. When I go outside I see a lot of people on this bench.I wave at all of them but they seem to ignore me. I yell for Kris because I wanna tell him about Audrey but nobody comes. I see a lot of people walking on the street so I ask them what is happening, nobody responses. My classmate comes up to me and asks me if I go to B Roxanna's concert? yeah. I ask no questions but follow people running. I yell : I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CONCERT YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT, BUT I'M STILL GOING THERE while laughing. A man suddenly offers to drive me and some random DCs to the place. We get into the car and it suddenly breaks. The guy is like : Okay, I'll get my bike. He gets out of his car and he kind of looks like Einstein. He gets his bike and then we try to jump on his back. I say that there's no use to do that because it's stupid. The DCs tell me : No, you're stupid. I go to this shop and order a new, vagina to give it to that guy (What.the.fuck) He gives me a cheesecake and I thank him. The random DC gets the seller into a conversation while I steal some sugary stuff from there.I give him the cheesecake and he says thanks then he runs away.I sit on a chair and I'm waiting for someone. I tell random DCs that they're dreaming but most ignore me except one lady. I don't know how to make her believe she's dreaming and Chimpertainment(David) comes and makes her do a lot of RCs and then she believes she's dreaming. David also tells her that she should practice a lot for it in order to get better at it. I give her the username and other usernames from dreamviews which is kind of dumb because it's not like I had a shared dream.[/COLOR]

    9. A Silent Lake by an open air cremation ground on a full moon night under a starry sky

      by , 12-15-2013 at 08:15 AM
      Last night I was at a site of a Lake by an open air cremation ground in my dream. I was sitting on one of the rocks on the lake beach looking at the silent water. I was enjoying the moonlit water and the starry sky too. Then I was called by my friend who was sitting at a distant site of the same beach. I wanted to join him. When I looked for the shortest possible path to there, I realized that I have to cross the cremation ground where bodies were still being cremated. Some still has flesh on them, a few others were already skeletons. I was a little afraid. Then I realized that it was a dream. That gave me strength. So I decided to cross the ground as nothing really bad could happen even if the bodies reacted towards my presence in any strange manner. At the end of the ground just near the gate there was a skeleton lying on the ground. I was a little afraid what would happen if the skeleton suddenly came alive while I was crossing it. But nothing of that sort happened. I was out of the ground soon and joined my friend. We chatted by the lake. I felt thirsty and drank the lake water. It was not saline. Then my friend said the water was not pure as people put the ashes to that water after cremation. I was disgusted. I wished people could appreciate the beauty of that lake and not pollute the water.

      How would I interpret this dream.

    10. The future of Lucid Dreaming

      by , 12-15-2013 at 03:44 AM
      Sorry if my grammar doesn't make sense I have too many lucid dreams that make me confused during waking life but anyways,.. Imagine a lucid dream technology that would help people tap into the dream world like a video game or matrix like a technology that would help induce lucid dreaming in the daytime. The technology would be like a pair of glasses that you would put on like in a 3D movie or something. You would be able to see dreams in the real world through these glasses instead of actually being lucid. It would allow users to tap into other peoples dreams while being awake like a video game. Imagine a dream technology that would fuse the game world with the dream world at the same time that would allow you to create your own dream space in waking life. Imagine being able to save dreams onto a mental memory card that can be uploaded to and from a computer like a futuristic video game dream technology that you can share online like YouTube google or even Facebook.

      Imagine seeing people flying or swimming underwater in the dream realm while being awake. Instead of writing your dream journal, you could write about other dreams and save them to view later on a dream notepad. Imagine if albert Einstein had a vision about the future of dreaming, or a technology was developed because of his theory of life. Imagine Einstein creation a mathematical formula for lucid dreaming that proved all of his theories that went beyond...
    11. An afternoon Nap

      by , 12-15-2013 at 12:27 AM
      fragment 1:

      I was sitting in a classroom, and I noticed that everybody knew something I didn't. I didn't get there late, I didn't do anything wrong, and it was the first day. They were all getting back essays and I remembered that this is a common dream I used to have, so I became lucid. This beautiful girl sat next to me and was giving a presentation at the same time. I sat through it patiently, I don't know why. After it was done everybody clapped for her, and I stood up, looked at her, and exclaimed, " OH YEA? you know how I know this is a dream? because I can do this" and I kissed that girl deeply. She looked shocked for half a second, and I thought, Oh shit, is this not a dream? Then everybody went back to acting normal. I got out of my chair and saw bubblegum sitting under the desk, so I ate the whole pack and it was very realistic tasting, and it was delicious! But it started to hurt my dream-jaw from too much sweetness and chewing. I then walked over to the DC professor and asked her what the deal is with this class. She told me that it turns into a store at 2:15 EST, and I was like...okay? They can't all be winners. I left the classroom and got hit in the head by a chain that had tied the door shut. I walked down the hall and tried to create havoc with telekinetic powers but it wasn't working for some reason (oh well). Then I woke up

      fragment 2:
      I was in dream-limbo for a minute, I did a little DEILD, ended back at my house, started walking towards the window to walk outside, and I just stood there for a second and admired the eery dream environment. It was unusual because a strange, multicolored, moving light was pouring through the windows. It was very similar to the northern lights, except they were in my house. There was also a lightness and a vibrancy to all the colors of the dream, the world looked almost like a pastel painting. Then I woke up again.

    12. [DILD] Hunted Soldiers/Shifting Room

      by , 12-14-2013 at 11:39 PM
      Date: 12-15-13
      Time: 9:21 P.M. - 6:58 A.M.
      Technique(s) Used: SSILD
      ____________________
      I wake to the start of multiple cries, and realize I'm in a group. Apparently, soldiers have taken our homes, and used them as refuges for a long time. We were ready to be rid of them, and their tyrrany.

      I was the leader, and asked the people if they had any ideas. One said that they all went into a store at a certain time of the day - right now, in fact. I ask around, asking what we should do.

      One of the people spoke up, saying we should lay a trap. We all comply with this, and begin to set it.

      We used C6, a highly explosive substance, as the killer. We set it, and are ready to go, until the one that set it mentioned that one should stay behind. I volunteered, and told everyone to leave. I bring up a rifle, and position myself near the door, a safe distance away.

      Three of them walked out, and were instantly consumed by blazing heat and cold stones. One runs out, trying to go left, but I take him out easily.

      One dives for cover, which prompted me to draw him out. I went around, and he makes a dash for a long tunnel in the middle of the area. I steady myself, breath deeply, and prepare for his arrival.

      The soldier suddenly pops out, like a gopher, right into my red dot sight. Two clicks of the trigger, and he is dead.

      A little HUD piece popped up in my vision, telling me I'd only gotten five out of the seven that had come here. I dropped the rifle and begna to search around for the other two.

      I was taken to a dog daycare, which was one of the houses with a large fence around it. I walk in, and sign my name on the in/out sheet. I'd been here before - my signature was there from two days ago.

      I give the woman $5 as she rattles on about her navy experiences to her friends. I was going to go inside her house, but the door led me into darkness.
      ____________________
      I am in bed, but not my usual bed. Next to me was another bed, housing my brother and a dog. The TV was on, playing some cartoon.

      I wondered why the dog never slept with me, and instantly the dog jumped to my bed. I was too big, the bed too small, which left no room for the dog to sleep. It (For I didn't know its gender) hopped back to my brothers bed, and rested.

      In the blink of an eye, the room shifts. I'm close to the door now, still in bed, but now my dad is in the room, smiling.

      The dog jumps at him, and jumped into him, as if he were a portal. I did a reality check, and realized that I was dreaming.

      My brother said, "Cooooool, we're dreaming!" right after.

      I was about to get up and leave, but my dad said "Wait, I want to show you something." Interest piqued, I sat down.

      He handed me a red plastic cup, and tol me it was cookies and creme. I tilt it in my mouth, but nothing comes out. Suddenly, a burst of flavor fills my mouth and throat. I had to shut my eyes in ecstacy.

      Right then, I remembered Basic Task II. I slowly counted to 10 with my fingers, still drinking from the air in the cup. When my eyes opened, the room had shifted yet again.

      I was in the far corner, the room darker now. A light hum and a gentle glow permeated my senes, prompting me to go investigate. It was a computer hooked up to a toaster.

      I type in coffee, and out pops a thin and tall pop-tart. I take it, and take a bite, surprised to have it taste flaky, instead of hard. The coffee taste was sweet, with an underlying tone of bitterness
      (Usually, I put a bunch of creamer in coffee - I dislike it most of the time).

      I go outside the door, and are taken into a schoolroom. There was a mansion model on one of the desks, and it must've been for me, for my last name was on it. I investigate the model, only to soon awaken.

    13. Animus Fail

      by , 12-14-2013 at 08:51 PM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      #250 - DILD - 8:55AM

      I wake around 8AM with pretty poor recall. I decide to mantra as I fall back to sleep

      Somehow I know that I am loading up in an Animus like Assassin's Creed. For whatever reason I pick the guy that has severe back problems. There is a cut-scene where he has a freak fork-truck accident outside and is injured in the upper back. Several hours pass when someone finally finds him in a pool of blood.

      The dream skips and I am now the man. I am with my wife who has chosen to be a another woman in the Animus. I see Amanda and Dina from work is with us also. We all decide to get in our Dodge and I start to get in the driver seat but remember I have a hurt back and shouldn't drive. Suddenly there is pain in my lower right back. I put my hand in the black and moan. The pain become pretty intense but I do my best to ignore it. I think I better get see a doctor and get some workman's comp. I wonder how I skipped that part.

      Amanda is driving and suddenly Dina walks in front of the car. We swerve around her but she keeps getting in the way. I ask Amanda what her deal is and she says that Dina is just mad because we are all going out to eat but she doesn't have any money. Amanda goes on to explain why she can't and won't pay for her. Something about how she doesn’t really have the money.
      I ask hypothetically, "Well, if she knew she didn't have any money then why did she agree to go out to eat?" We turn and Dina is over by the curb with her head down kicking at rocks. I feel bad and think that maybe I should offer to pay but now the whole thing is just too awkward and it's too late to even say anything.

      My back hurts again and I let out a moan. I wonder how my Animus character was hurt in the upper back but the lower back is what hurts. The pain is really is bad and I tell everyone in the car that I don't like this dream. Everyone goes completely silent and I feel like I slipped up like I broke character.
      Shocked, a woman, probably my wife, says, "What?"
      I don't look at whomever was speaking but I quickly recover. Looking down at my lap and then out the window, I reply, "I mean I don't like this life."
      The woman says something about how that is a horrible thing to say.


      My lucidity slips as we enter a drive-thru that quickly turns into us standing in line indoors. Amanda and some other people order in front of me. My back starts hurting again and this time I rub it with my hand. My muscle feels really tense and I wonder if my physical body is actually hurting. I become distracted when the man behind the counter asks me what I want. I realize I have not been paying attention and feel pressured. I ask where my wife is so that she can order ahead of me, but Amanda says she wondered off some place. I look at the menu board and all I see is ice cream, shakes and sunday's... stuff like that. I think I just want a hamburger meal but I don’t see it anywhere. What is this place? Bruam's? They should have hamburgers. The man is getting impatient with me now and the people in line behind me are looking at me. Out of desperation, I say, "I'll... umm.. I'll take... theeee... burger combo with fries and a drink?" The man nods and a girl next to him says an amount to pay. I don't remember what it was but I start looking in my wallet for $17.

      The bill look odd with strange monetary values. I pull out a 10 and a 5 but can't seem to find any 1's. I see several $2 and $4 bills and laugh at it. Then I lose track of how much I had already counted out and start over. The 10 vanishes and I have several 5's that are stuck together. I worry about giving too many 5's and try to peel them apart. I notice how strange they look and wonder what's going on. Then It dawn's on me that this stuff seems to happen in dreams and I become fully lucid. I stop messing with the bills and just giggle. I turn to some people next to me, one of them looks like my mother, and I say, "It's ok. I can give them anything I want and it will work." I look in my wallet again and pull out a small yellow rectangle of constriction paper. There seems to be some writing on it but it's blurry so I hold it close like some extremely near-sighted old man. The letters become clear. The paper has something like a restaurant logo printed in a type of cursive.

      ANGELICO'S


      Satisfied, I hand the paper over as payment and begin to walk off, but the woman yells at me to wait. I wonder if maybe I'm supposed to somehow get change back as I turn back around. The woman say's, "You're supposed to get a few pennies back."
      I smile and say, "That's ok ya'll can keep it."
      She replies with a sarcastic, "Gee thanks." I leave the area.

      I now I am in some strange and confusing part of the restaurant not sure what to do. My younger daughter walks up to me and I talk to her about something for a while. Then, thinking of past lives I ask her, "How old are you actually?"
      Without missing a beat she replies, "One hundred and seventy-two."
      I feel excited and hyper and I shout, "Right on! That's bad ass!" I calm my tone and then ask, "OK. What's mine?" I have a five hundred something number in my head and I wonder where I got that from. I wonder if that will affect her answer. I know it will so as she answers, I mouth the words with her.
      "Five hundred.." I start mouthing a the rest of it different but she continues undeterred. "...thirty-six years and forty eight months.
      I say, "hmm. Five hundred thirty-six years? Well I'm not sure about the months part but yeah that's about right.
      I suddenly wake up.

    14. First time I understand WILD. IM PROUD OF MYSELF!!!

      by , 12-14-2013 at 08:28 PM (This is my DJ, feel free to comment whatever you want.)
      Yesterday I went to a club with a friend and I arrived home like 5.00 AM, kinda drunk. I went directly to bed. I woke up lik 13.00. Can't remember any dream (perhaps because alcohol). I took a nap at 14.30 but I found it really hard to sleep. I think i lost consciousness around 15.00, woke up a little later and tried to not move at all. I felt my body really tired and tried to move, but it felt weird at first. I felt the movement of my hand but after a few seconds realized my hand didn't move at all. I inmediately thought about SP, but I wasn't scared about it, not at all, I had a few experiences about SP already. So I started trying to visualize something. And I appeared at the subway with my brother and a stranger. I started running and doing some random stuff and after a while I tried to do something with my hands in the dream (can't remember exactly) and felt like my hands were glued, I could not separate them, didn't care about it, started flying and imagining some classical music and quickly woke up and realized I had my fingers crossed. It was really cool, I controlled everything, even when I wanted to woke up. Weirdest thing is that the dream was extremely short, it lasted like 10 minutes. Because I wanted, I had to wake up like 16.00 to do some stuff and I did.

    15. Invincibility :)

      by , 12-14-2013 at 07:23 PM
      I was walking outside, having a phone conversation with my mom, when i recognized a dream sign and became lucid. Immediately, the setting changed to the top of a hill. I wanted to jump, but something was telling me i would get hurt. I ignored that, and jumped off anyway, with a slight fear i would break my wrists on the landing. I was relived when i was unharmed, and looked up to see a small building. I had a strong desire to go here, because there was something (i didn't know what) that i needed. I sprinted to the building and burst through the door, demanding everyone pay attention to me .

      All the excitement woke me up, unfortunately.
