lucid

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

I go to theatre with friends. Right at its beggining, it's interrupted by some young people with banners, urging us all to join them on the streets on a massive revolutionary protest. I look through the window, see thousands of people outside and feel inspired, but I really want to see the play and I insist to stay and join them later. Most people leaves and joins them but then the play start and I even gt to sit on the front row. The curtain rises and a weird spectacle unfolds. Two guys stabbing a girl, all very realistic and the audience is feeling upset and uncomfortable. We look at each other like saying "c'mon, it's fake, right?". While she is still bleeding out and crying for help, they pour wine over her and set her on fire. Then I realize it's probably real and we should stop it, so I jump to the stage and other people follow me. Someone calls 911, some guys manage to overthrow one of the murderers, but the other one is really monstrous and his fingers transform into long knifes and he starts chopping everybody around. It's a massacre and I run away. I found the exit doors locked. I don't know what to do.
A young girl appears out of nowhere and tells me to follow her into the attic. There's a kind of dorm up there and we hide under a bed, but when I hear footsteps on the stairs I realize staying there won't save us. So I guide her through the window and we escape through the roofs.
As we wander through the streets, I look up to the sky and realize I can see stuff I didn't see before, like augmented reality, I can see constelations poppoing out and an unknown celestial body passing through them and following a spiral orbit around some other body. I realize this is important but I don't understand its meaning. The little girl tells me to think about it later, but now we must go hide in her home. She lives, apparently alone, in a tiny, tiny anex of a small fishermen village. We have a calm night, but the next day there's a huge mess outside, like someone is going through all the houses doing searches and people are angry and afraid, running around and shouting. There's only a front door and we don't know how to get away without being noticed. Then we are saved by a mistery man who takes us to my mom's house. I dont think it's very safe either, but at least it's a 4th floor and now we have a guardian watching over us.
I feel safe for a while, the door is locked, the windows are safe... or so I thought, but in the morning I see a guy flying to my bedroom window and crossing it like it's nothing. He stops in front of me, he wears a really strange suit made of golen and silvered mesh. He has a sword. I run to get my sabre and then we fight. But every time I stab him, the sabre does not pierce his suit. He laughs and explains his suit is made of adamantium. I'm fucked. Then I have this faint vision of my guru floating in the air outside my window and kind of scolding me with his eyes, for not remembering something I should have so clear in my mind. "I know! I must trust the guru!" I am invaded by a sense of absolute peace and thrusthfulness when taking mental refuge in the guru and all of a second I'm no longer in my mom's house, I'm somewhere else.
Evangelion comes to me from somewhere and welcomes me. I look puzzled and he says he's been spending some time with my guru, who has been teaching him personally some secret spiritual language. I feel even more puzzled and a bit envious - why is he learning that secret language in this peaceful place and I've been running around from mad attackers? And as I ask the question, I know the answer. I chose it that way.

In one of last deams the devil showed me how he poured water on his palm and it transformed into money. I tried to repeat it.
It was dark in my yard and i thought that it may be a LD. Made RC. Remember about water and money, went into the house and found an empty plastic bottle near the sink. I fill it with water and several times tried to pour it on my hand thinking about money. But nothing happened. every time i went to the house, fill the bottle and went outdoors to empty it not to wet my floor On the sixth attempt i found several small stones in my palm. I thought that it was a progress, got some more water and poured it again. I found in my palm delicious fruits and there was a mango. I tried it, it was tasty and i forgot completely about money and ate mango. Then i decided to have sex an began to loose dream control.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragment):

Can't recall the dream itself but i have strong feeling of being in quadruped stance through that dream.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing Akashicverse and apparently was fighting second stage boss, it's synchronization with music was kinda unstable and some attacks were different. Then it went OMAKE form and there it was much slower, had less HP and attack patterns were entirely different. After more or less usual first one there was one pattern with vertically raining red projectiles and one pattern with circular spread walls of projectiles that were changing with each wave and getting harder, after that it randomly changed to very last pattern of that form.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was looking on a pic with a dragon and a pirate, there was story and/or dialogue to a pic and according to it they were friends.

Not 100% sure if actually woke up and DEILDed or it was 'DEILD from FA'
Dream 4:

I wake up and keep eyes closed, soon i start feeling the dream and... apparently my limbs feel like they are entirely different now, then i hear somebody in the room and he says 'Wake up~' and starts trying to wake me up.
I 'wake up' into false awakening but i still feel that i am dreaming, the room is surprisingly exact copy of IWL and that confuses me for a bit but then i go to balcony, as i look around, outside apparently is exact copy as well, then dream fades out. Then i get very short FA/HH where i briefly see my snout.

The LUCID :[COLOR="#008080"]Unfortunately, I can't remember how I got lucid. I was in my room looking out the window.It was snowing outside.I go to my computer and sit there for like 5 seconds and I suddenly remember to stabilize.I stabilize and the dream becomes unbelievable vivid.I look out the window again and now it's kind of sunny with a red sky.I look away and tell myself that I should really make the weather that I previously had in a lucid.I look back out the window and tadaaa, there's the weather.I see my grandmother and my grandfather outside walking and holding hands.I think about jumping but in the end I just walk around my room staring at things. I suddenly hear some music and mom comes in my room, tells me something and I start losing the dream.Everything becomes blurry and the music stops.I do the spinning technique and I end up in a weird but cool place.I keep telling this person near me (Don't remember who) how all the things she/he sees around are just things from real life combined.I see a park and I tell him/her that we should totally go there later. Someone shouts my name and I run fast to that person and ask what's the matter. She asks if my name is Anna and I tell her that indeed my name is Anna. She stares a bit, gives me a gift box and leaves. I look in it and I see some materials and 2 letters(That gift box seemed like it was from Kris) I look around and suddenly everyone transforms into asians and I tell myself that Kris must be coming (VERY EXCITED). I look closely in the box and I notice 2 keys in it(No idea for what they are).[/COLOR]

The dream was sooooo much more longer I just don't recall it all. I recall I kept saying to myself : When is this dream gonna end? It's been like 1 week already. I know I've done a lot of things (Don't recall exactly what things but I know) and probably tried summoning with success.

2nd dream : [COLOR="#800080"]A person rolls in my apartment's hall and asks me: Guess what I bought you?! I put a bag on it's head and then it says: Exactly! then it rolls in another room :/ .[/COLOR]

3rd dream: [COLOR="#800080"]Dreamt I was in my apartment's hall and dad entered in my grandmother's room and then he came out Slenderman.Suddenly it became dark. I start screaming and then dad transforms back to his original form and starts laughing with mom. [/COLOR]

Fusing a Broken Heart
I wake up in my bed, though I know right away it isn't my real bed. It is my bed in the dreamscape world inside my inner world. I am lying there pissed off, filled with anger, filled with hurt. I don't want to get up; I don't want to deal with the world right now. I finally sit up when it feels like someone is watching me. I'm not alone. I look around the room and I see Alex Mercer from Prototype is in the room with me. I wonder what he is doing there… I get out of bed and go closer to him. I am currently so filled with anger and hate that I'm not sure what I intend to do… I want to hug someone… I want to punch someone in the face. Um… not sure doing either of those things to Alex Mercer is a good idea… but then I'm not thinking much clearly at all. When I get close enough to Alex I guess I have decided I'd rather hug someone than punch them in the face, so I find myself hugging Alex Mercer. I am so upset that I am crying, I feel there is no one I can trust, no one I can count on. I find Alex is hugging me back now… holding me close… too close? I tingle all over… I feel a bit better. I go to pull away but I find I can't… because Alex isn't hugging me after all… he's consuming me! I try to pull away again, but then decide I don't really care. So I just sit there and let it happen. Everything fades to a comforting blackness.

But the dream continues. I am still there. Inside Alex? Fused with Alex? We are one. I actually find that a bit disappointing… but I realize I feel better than I did before. Not so alone. Still rather pissed off, but pissed off at someone specific. Pissed off at Templars. I hear Alex talking to me telepathically; he asks how I am feeling right now. I say I am feeling some better, but why did he do that? At least ask first… he says he had been hoping to help me feel better. Ok, now that makes absolutely no sense… so the next time I want someone to feel better I should go eat them?! He says I can be mad if I want to, but as long as it worked… but I'm not feeling mad at Alex. I am pissed, but it is at the Templars. I want to kill Templars. It feels like the Templars have taken away everything that matters in my life… There is a flat screen television in the room with Alex / me. We are still as one. The screen shows what looks like a lab of some kind. There are scientists all over the place, and cages. Cages with people, cages with other animals… test subjects. The scientists… all Gentek assholes. I have no doubt of that. So now I am pissed off at Gentek.

Alex / I go through the television into the lab on the other side, no doubt appearing out of nowhere as far as the scientists can see. One of them asks who the fuck I am… no doubt he sees only Alex… and Alex is the last thing he ever sees. Alex's / my arm forms into a blade that splits the shocked scientist in two. Of course the other scientists see that and freak out, running for the doors in a blind panic. I want to let the animals out of their cages. The people, too. Those stupid scientists should be in the cages instead. But the scientists are all gone now. So Alex / I start releasing the people and animals locked in cages. I'm not sure where everyone will go, or how to get out of there. Some of the people and animals are injured in various ways. I focus on healing their injuries. I wonder if there are injuries there that I can't heal. The doors to the lab burst open and now a bunch of Templar soldiers come in with guns blazing.

They clearly don't care who they hit, they start firing before they even get a visual lock on where Alex / I am. The people freed from the cages are running for the exits, some of them stopping to help animals and other people on the way. A few of them get shot. I see a specific kitty is running towards the exit and takes a bullet in the head… I see a cute little face explode and I am instantly unbelievably pissed off. Arm forms back into a blade and now Templar soldiers are the targets. They are aiming more accurately at me now, but I don't really seem to notice the bullets. Slight irritants. That's about all it is. My memory of the fight is a bit of a blur… cutting through body armor like it was made of tissue paper… a lot of blood, and Templar soldiers dying. I see the remaining Templar soldiers have decided to run for it after all, and I don't feel any urge to chase after them. I would rather tend to the injured people and animals in the lab. I gather the animals together to bring them back to my inner world, I know Angelina will be glad to take care of them. Alex / I am doing that when everything fades to black. Alex says not to worry about it, he will make sure the animals are safe. So I wake up.

Time Lucid - 15 seconds

I was walking in the car park of Kelly's Hotel, and I did a nose plug randomly, which worked. I was now Lucid and remember about what Billy Bob mentioned in one of his tutorials (Go with the flow of the dream, continue what you were previously doing). I continued to walk down the street, but I was thinking about too much maybe? I felt myself waking up and tried to DEILD.

Side note:
As I attempted the DEILD, I made my breathing heavy, way to heavy for my liking. It was doing it on auto-pilot, and figured there's no way I will enter a dream breathing like I was, and woke myself up.

A Changing Household
This dream starts in third person. I think I'm watching a movie. I have a passing thought that it's probably The Mummy. Leonardo Di Caprio, Penelope Cruz, and a couple other people tumble into a large sandy pit. The sand is bright white; a few small plants are scattered around. I think it's amusing that in movies, the top-billed actor always stays nice and clean, while everyone else gets dirty. Sure enough, when they all get up, LDC is pristine, with nicely combed hair, while PC is all muddy and has hair everywhere. She's grumbling about how if she'd been the top billed actor, then she'd be all pristine and he'd be a mess.

Now he's gone. The rest of them think he's abandoned them. Now I'm looking at him. He's just gone though a kind of tunnel to another part of the pit to look around. Looking up, he sees a waterfall and realizes it's going to fill the pit. Now I'm looking at the other group of people as LDC comes rushing back through the tunnel shouting at them to climb for their lives. His footsteps fill with water as he runs.

Now they're at the top of the pit. The waterfall is visible to the right in the distance. They're wet and exhausted. A woman meets them and invites them into her home to dry off and clean up. She's standing next to a blocky wooden pillar of some kind. I have the feeling it was a grandfather clock.

Now I'm in her home. It's a standard entry-level subdivision home, somewhat on the cluttered side. I'm at the end of the central hallway. A bathroom is to my left, with a small room (probably meant to be a bedroom) to my right. My wife is coming out of the bathroom. I ask her where the clean clothes are, and she indicates they're in the room across the hall.
I go into the bathroom. It's more of a laundry room that happens to have a toilet and sink. Brightly colored stuff is around.

Now I'm in the room across the hall, holding the clothes. I've got a long sleeved shirt and some pants. I decide that since I'm dreaming, I'm going to change the shirt into a one-piece outfit. Now I'm wearing the shirt, but it still looks like a shirt. I try again. Now I'm wearing a maroon one-piece outfit. Unfortunately, it has a gaping fly with no way to close it. I try to will it closed, but nothing happens. I touch the bottom, not for the actual touch, but so that I can't see what I'm doing. I move my finger up, *knowing* that the part I can't see is in fact closed. Sure enough, as I move my finger up, I can see that the hole is closing. I get to the top and remove my finger. I can see a faint glowing line where the fly used to be; the line quickly disappears.

I decide that, as cool as this is, it's too much work - I'm used to wearing shirts, and if I don't keep concentrating, it'll turn back into a shirt. Unfortunately, I can't find the pants anywhere. I ask the teenaged son where they are; he says he'll go get them.

Now I'm wearing a shirt and pants. The rest of the family passes through the room. I know I'm supposed to follow
them, but I have a bad feeling about it. Instead, I look at the fish tank near the door. It's got a symbol on it that shows I can unlock a minor achievement with it, but I don't know how. As I'm looking at the fish tank, I notice a couple of fish swimming in the air near me, but I ignore them. One fish, green, swims straight towards the glass, straight at me, and opens its mouth. Even though it's a normal sized aquarium fish, I have this vision of a LONG green tunnel. At the far end is a large glowing object which starts to shoot forward. Right as it reaches the end of the tunnel (the mouth), it hits the aquarium glass, and the fish is thrown back, dazed.

Now I'm in the living room. The woman is doing something strange. Outside the window, I see a large board that starts to light up with symbols in different colors. As she describes what's going to light up, it does, as she's described - symbol and color. Then it starts to display the wrong colors. I know something is wrong, so I leave the living room.

Now I'm back in the aquarium/changing room. The teenage boy is there working on a math problem. Whatever it is, it's a trick question. I help him with it for a minute.

Now all the people who were in the living room are in the room with us. They have red skin, and they're attacking us. Whatever strange ritual she did with the board was clearly evil. They're throwing small bombs at us with lit rope fuses. I keep knocking them away from myself. They bounce into the corners and explode harmlessly. I realize that if I could hold onto one until the fuse was nearly gone, then throw it back, I could kill them; but I can't bring myself to do it.

There's a lull in the attack. A man is siting in a cushy rotating chair looking at something on a computer. I decide to go over and try to get him distracted by showing him some Simpsons. It turns out he's already so distracted with whatever he's doing that I can't distract him further.

Now I'm sitting in a similar chair. My left arm is on the armrest. A young woman with red skin)is next to the chair, laying her head on my arm, asleep. I can't move for fear of waking her.

I become aware of my heartbeat. It's actually fairly normal. I remember that if you want to summon something in a dream, you have to have a convincing reason why it'll work. I've been reading Way of Kings, and some of the characters have Shard Blades they can summon. It takes 10 heartbeats from when they start to summon it to when it appears in their hand. I hold my hand out, try to summon it, and count my heartbeats. At 10, I feel a tingle, but no blade appears. I try again; this time, after 10 heartbeats, nothing happens.

I know another way to summon things in dreams is to imagine them where you can't see them, then "find" them. I decide that there's always been a sword under my chair, and I just need to pull it out. Unfortunately, I can't move far enough to reach under to get it.

Somehow, in conjunction with the teen boy, I know that this transformation is temporary, and that if I just wait long enough they'll go back to normal. Up on the wall, I see a clock. It has too many hands, they're not straight, and they're moving too fast; but I know it's almost time.

Now everyone is back to normal. This includes the boy, kind of: he's really a girl, and now that everything is back to normal, "he" is female again. She's wearing a tight fitting purple latex top.

I can feel the dream start to fade. I try to take some action to stabalize it, but whatever it is I tried, it didn't work. The dream continues to fade.

A moment of transition comes: I'm present in the dream, remembering all that's happened, watching it fade; then I'm in bed, watching the dream fade, remembering scattered bits of dream memory, knowing that just a moment earlier I was there remembering it all.

(This is from September 26, yesterday.)

I awoke into a lucid dream, however I didn't perform any reality checks, I just knew immediately I was lucid. I looked around and saw I was in some kind of run-down building in a room on the second floor. It was nighttime. I walked out onto the balcony, which had an old wooden staircase leading down to the sidewalk, and saw a man standing under a street light. He looked suspiciously like Karr, but had black hair and giant black holes where his eyes would've been, so I decided to avoid him because I didn't feel like dealing with creepy stuff. I jumped off the top of the balcony and glided down to the street, facing away from the creepy guy, and remembered a few new tricks I'd read about for summoning people in dreams. I attempted to summon Afiel by calling behind me "Hey Afiel, can you help me with this?" like he was already there, however it didn't work, and instead I heard Karr's voice say "I'm not Afiel!" That's when I realized the creepy eyeless guy WAS Karr, so I spun around to confront him but he was gone. After a few more calling attempts, I gave up for the moment and went out to enjoy the dream. For a while, I just flew around the night sky... more like glided, really, because I couldn't keep myself up. I kept slowly gliding back down to the ground, and had to push myself off the ground with my hands to get back up. I wound up at some kind of horse race and took the opportunity to ride a horse, which was super fun. I even won the race and had my name engraved onto a high score board on a wall by the track. I wandered away and into a nearby building, another rundown place made of rotting wood, and saw my mom sitting on a couch next to a bunch of plants. She said hi, but then just sat there like a statue and wouldn't respond to anything, so I ignored her and attempted summoning again. I tried another trick where I walked up to a random closed door and said "Hey, this is the door Afiel is behind!" and then open it expecting him to be there. The first few times it didn't work, but I finally opened a door and there he was, standing there looking confused. He walked around the building, looking at random things, and then we decided to head outside. On the way out, we passed by statue-mom sitting on the couch and her plant collection, and Afiel was immediately sidetracked and went to go look at all the plants, because he's a total geek about that kind of thing. He told me to come over and look at one of them, and when I got closer I noticed the collections of seeds on the plant weren't actually seeds at all, but hundreds of tiny bugs. I thought it was gross and backed away, but he was all excited and kept watching them. When we left the building, it was daylight out, and he suggested we fly to a particular place, but I can't remember where it was he said. I think it was some kind of religious place. He spread his wings and took off, and I followed after him but I had trouble staying up. My body kept doing the gliding thing, and kept wanting to drift back down to the ground, but I didn't want to lose him so I did these awkward jump-glides after him. Soon we were in the wilderness in a big grassy field that was fall-colored. In the background were mountains, and hills covered in colorful trees, and the sky was clear and blue. I saw Afiel pretty far ahead, so I landed and did the lucidity shout to gain more control. It worked in that it made the scenery super vivid, and I forgot about him for a moment and sat there in the grass enjoying my surroundings. I wondered about the "ACME lucidity pills" I kept hearing about online, so I reached into my pocket for them but felt nothing. There was nothing in my other pocket either, but then I saw a large beige bottle on the ground next to me. I picked it up and took the pills inside it, and suddenly everything came into laser focus and I felt more in control. I flew up, now able to fly without gliding, over some telephone cables and up over the mountains, but I could no longer see Afiel. As I kept flying, I came upon an old Mayan temple, so I landed on the steps and walked up to the top to find a door. Behind the door was a pretty Japanese water garden, with lots of people and animals but no Afiel. On the wall was a laminated piece of paper with rules about the water garden and I remember being surprised about how clear the words were, since usually words in my dreams are blurry. I walked out onto the water Jesus-style, among all the lily pads and fishes, and saw weird little mice and cats under the water attacking each other. I reached down into the water to pull out a mouse that was about to be killed by a cat, but I noticed the mouse had worms for eyes and for claws. I freaked out and dropped it, the cat grabbed it and bit it in half. The mouse was actually a robot and had a map inside him, and when I picked up and unrolled the map, I realized it was telling me where Afiel had gone but I woke up before I could make anything of it.

A dream where I had to go retrieve postage stamps from dad's house, but I was scared of going inside because he'd want me to stay forever. I think I was able to get the stamps.

A friend and I were walking down the sidewalks at an outdoor shopping center, and there were these shimmery rainbow butterflies that kept landing on my shoulder and following me around. Then we saw some pretty hummingbirds, and my friend could match their pace and keep up with them on her roller blades. I, however, could not, and just ran behind her and the hummingbirds awkwardly trying to keep up, dozens of butterflies flying after me. We stopped in front of an interesting restaurant and decided to eat there, but there was a wait, so we stood outside until it was our turn. The butterflies kept messing with me, and everyone around me marveled over how pretty they were. I think I remember seeing Dale from King of the Hill leave the restaurant and he made some comment about me being an alien. When we got inside, we were seating at separate tables, so my friend was at a table to the left of me and I sat with strangers, and there were TVs at the tables along with piles of DVDs. There was also a big plate of chicken nuggets in the middle of the table, and the waitresses would hand out bags of chips to anyone who raised their hands. I turned on the TV and there was a Disney movie playing, but a guy walked over and said I wasn't allowed to use the DVDs, only employees could. I told him I wasn't watching a DVD, and that the movie was just on cable, but he didn't believe me and turned off my TV and took the DVDs away. I also saw him to the same thing to my friend's table.

There was a guy who worked inside a huge dumpster the size of a house. He was in charge of sorting trash into recyclable containers, and he worked 24 hours a day and never slept. The dumpster was also full of dangerous snakes that would always bite him. The news channels caught wind of his predicament and kept trying to interview him, but he would always hide from them. Soon, other people were offering to work at the dumpster part-time to take some of the burden off of him, but many of the new workers were bit by the snakes and had to be taken to the hospital. I applied because I had been dating a girl who'd broken up with me because she said I wasn't independent enough, and became a part-time worker in the big dumpster thinking it would make me more self-reliant. I would walk across wooden floors covered in snakes, but they wouldn't bite me and I wasn't scared of them. Instead, I'd pick them up in handfuls and toss them off the walkways. As I sorted trash, I noticed that someone had thrown away a perfectly good TV and the 24 hour guy had taken it and put it in a weird makeshift break room. However, the TV was covered in orange slime and was gross, so I cleaned it up for him and he was super happy for it.

i almost didn't remember this dream but it came back to me in morning meditation! i looked down at my hands and realized I am dreaming! i had extra fingers and i was like holy shit! then i started getting a little restless and paced around repeating the mantra I am dreaming trying to ground myself. i was afraid of waking and tried rubbing my hand and engaging all my senses.

When i lucid dream tonight i will make sure to stay in one place and really ground myself. i'll realize its a lucid dream and constnaly remind myself while feeling my inner body.

anyway so i was walking down the side walk and had a skateboard. i tried to do a trick fell hit the ground and said ow. then i realized its a fucking dream how could anything possibly hurt if i didnt want it to? so i summoned the skateboard back to my hand and caught it slightly impressed i was able to command the board to me. then i think sometime after i lost lucidity or stopped remembering

Great success for me! finally back on rack

Dream recall from today's WBTB/nap. Off the schedule again and had a bit of problems falling asleep but still got lucid for a bit.

I was playing Radio Zonde and there was apparently new patch that changed some things, i was playing stage 6 and it had some differences, i somehow managed to no miss no bomb through it and reached the boss. Boss was much more plane-like than original but attack patterns were pretty similar, but with a few differences in bullet spacing and phase timing. Then at one point game suddenly went 3D and glitched out.
I wake up realize that i am dreaming and do an RC while getting up, shortly dream fades out though.

Dream Fragments galore:

The first bit I can remember I was my violin a lot, and at some point members of my family got annoyed a told me to stop.

The next bit was probably related to my childhood obsession with Titanic (both the movie and the actual ship). There were 3 or 4 different cruise lines are sinking at the same time within a mile of each other. It was during this part of the dream that suddenly I realized I was dreaming. I was probably lucid for a minute or so, then I lost focus. But the fact that it happened at all is a good sign that this site is helping, since I haven't had a "natural" LD in over a month.

There was a short dream where I was in a store with some friends, but for some reason I was being chased around by a snake. Then I was being chased around by Michael Jackson.....so yeah.....

My last dream involved my brother and I. For some reason my mom owned a ship and we were both arguing over who would be the rightful heir. Violence got involved, and I threw my brother overboard several times. I'm not sure which one of us got to keep it.

#234 - DEILD - 3:42AM

I have a false awakening sitting at a table. I wonder why I fell asleep and my wife says I should go to bed. I tell her that I was waiting up to catch the weather on the news but I feel too tried to care anymore. I lay down in bed and for some reason I chew gun. I fall asleep and wake up.

I think how close I was to becoming lucid and lay still for a DEILD. Almost immediately I feel a little odd and then very mild vibrations start. I wonder if this is it so I try moving and find that everything is more difficult and sluggish. I become excited and my heart starts racing. I remember to remain calm and just focus on starting the dream. I find myself standing but my arms feel horrible twisted and misshapen. I figure the best way to get past this is to look at my hands.

I see my hands in front of me now and my arms feel normal. I note the distorted shapes of my fingers. It looks like I am also moving very quickly. Everything around me is a blur. I continue to focus on my hands and rub them from time to time. I remember my goal to steal a car and go for a joyride and almost instantly I am sneaking around in a parking lot at night next to a red Grand AM. I hop in the passenger side and move over to the driver seat. I pop the ignition with the palm of my hand and pretend to turn the ignition with out looking. The car starts up right away, the lights come on, and I hit the gas. The car seems to be sluggish and slow at first but after a while it picks up speed. It's now day time and as I cruise through some neighborhood I spot several houses with large brick pillars with windows in the yard close to the house. They were like some sort of strange out building. I decide to crash the car into one of the house and I take a hard right navigating in-between two pillars. I try to think about what is inside the house because I am afraid that my lack of imagination will put me in a typical blackout. I begin to laugh as I speed toward the house.

I crash through a large window of the house but it doesn't stop me and I barrel on through the other side and into the street. I don't bother stopping there and go ahead and hit the house across the way. This house has a low brick wall under a bay window and I make the car pop a wheely hoping to get over. The front clears it but the back hits hard and flips the back end up. Now I am nose diving in someones living room from a 3rd person perspective. The car comes to a stop and I think about getting out.

Suddenly I am at the front door. As I open it to step out some man in a suit is coming in. I announce, "Another job well deserved." Though, I meant to say "well done". I shrug this off and walk away from the house as calmly as I can so that any one watching me wont think I am suspect. Out of the corner of my right eye, I see an old truck driving up into the lawn in a hurry. I figure it is someone there to help with the mess but Ignore it. As I am walking I feel mentally tired like I have been holding the dream too long and I need to relax and wake up. I almost do just that but decide against it. I want to hold on as long as I can. This feeling soon passes.

I start to hop a fence into a neighboring yard but there is a grubby little boy standing there. He opens the gate and approaches me. I am curious why my dream sent this DC out so I stop to talk to him forgetting whatever carnage I left behind me, though I feel like I am switching roles from mad man to psychiatrist. There is some guilty emotion there but I let it go.

I ask the boy, "What do you represent?"
His answer, "The Thunder Monster!"
I am amused. "What? Thunder Monster? Do it."
"Rawr!"
I shake my head, "Oh that''s shitty."
He give another weak "rawr" and I say, "No. Like this." I point to the sky keeping my eyes on him. I wait but nothing happens so I make the sound with my mouth. A deep rolling thunder fills my ears and the fullness of it sounds completely realistic.
The little boy stands there lack jawed and lets out a long, "Woooowwww."
I look up to see storm clouds forming above us the this action make my physical eyes do strange things. The sensation of it wake me up.

I got up out of bed and saw a dog in my room, which wasn't mine. It kind of shocked and scared me a little, as I didn't expect it at all. I figured I had just had a false awakening. I plugged my nose and it worked.

I pretended to shoot the dog in the head with a gun, and nothing happened. (I'm an animal lover, I promise). As I left my bed room, I could hear sounds from reality, it was the damned rubbish truck , I couldn't help but realise it wasn't sound from the dream itself. I woke up and turned it into a DEILD. I remembered the dream I was just having, and the scene came to me pretty quickly. I continued the dream where I left off, which was in the hallway. I saw the dogs, and was going to let them outside while I continued my lucid dream. As I let them out, I started to lose the dream again. Once again I chained another DEILD together, except this time I was going to let the dream scene come to me. I thought to myself meh, let's just do it the more reliable way and visualise. I visualised getting out of my bed which bought on the scene. This time I remembered to study something in the room as I didn't want the lucid to end as quickly as the previous attempts. I picked up what looked like a sleeping musk. As I focused on it, I could still hear the rubbish truck and woke up.

Dream Fragment/False Awakening
I remember laying in bed, on my iPod Touch. I saw my dream diary entries coming up on my Face book wall. I was a bit worried as, I didn't want this information on my Face book. I think I convinced myself that I had them set on private.

I was in my house, but it looked different. I saw a big guy, I think it may have been Brendan McC(BM). He was on choking a guy(Guillotine choke), half the size of him, in length and width.. I had to step in and help this guy out, so I jumped on top of him and started raining elbows to his face. I felt the strikes were not as forced as I wanted them to me, but as I focused on them, I got into the rhythm and was now throwing quick elbows, trying to cut his face up.

I was now in my bed room and I was expecting BM to come in and say something to me. His friend Clint S, came into the room. He said a few things which were nice and he smiled.

I must have become aware in my dream, and did a RC by looking at my hand. I think it was smaller then usual, but wasn't convincing. I tried my nose plug for the first time in a dream and it worked perfectly. I smiled, and kept plugging my nose as It felt really cool to do.

I got up and went down the hallway. My penis got the better of me and I was looking for some females to have sex with. I started thinking about how the lucid would last for a long time (in a way, trying to convince myself). I tried turning a light on, expecting it to turn on but nothing happened.

I started to feel myself waking up. As I woke up, I could have attempted a DEILD but decided to write the dream down, as I've been on a bit of a dry spell for a week. I didn't end up writing anything down and went back to sleep. I was now in the same dream but wasn't lucid. I saw my old cat Lily come from under the bed. She looked a bit different. I patted her head and felt scabs on her head, which were a lot worse then when she had them in reality. I was pretty amazed that she was here with me, because she had ran away from our previous house. We had moved again after that.

Side note.
As the last dream ended, I attempted a DEILD. I think I left it a bit late. I saw imagery in the top left hand corner, which was pretty small. I tried focusing on the dream scene but it faded straight away (mistake, should have passively been aware of it)

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was something about dragons and at one point a dragon was flying above me.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was apparently on yogscast tekkit server and there was something about restarting tekkit series and building some new base, then i've managed to find some hidden chest by digging ground and one of them contained book called "German Diary #8".
Later i am at home and i am waiting for new tekkit episode, suddenly i wake up, i take off headset and can still hear sound also i get feeling that i am dreaming. I try to move but wake up again, still feeling dream, and again. ON the third time i finally manage to get up and i go to balcony, it's raining and rain seems to be getting stronger, soon dream fades out.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was looking at various pictures of dragons.
