    Lucid Dreams

    1. The Dark Coridoor

      by , 09-15-2013 at 07:43 PM
      (This dream took place after waking up from the previous one, and falling asleep again.)

      I was in a smallish room. I think I remember there being sort of an office-y style to the room, with a plant, sofa, table, etc... Outside was a long, narrow corridor, with lights spaced out very specifically, on the ceiling. It looked kind of like a hospital corridor. Suddenly, all of the lights went out simultaneously and I closed the door, scared. Like the last dream, I became lucid out of nowhere. I closed my eyes and willed the lights to turn back on. When I opened the door again, the lights were on, but the light from them looked kind of strange and hard to explain. It sort of looked hazy and unreal. After that, the same thing happened as the previous dream. I started to wake up, rubbed my hands together, and forgot the rest of the dream.

    2. A flight to America?

      by , 09-15-2013 at 07:36 PM
      I was with my Dad and Step-mum and we were about to get onto a plane, headed to New York (I think). As we got on, the room suddenly shifted and began to look like some sort of high security vault. I don't really know why, but I suddenly became lucid. All I can remember is being surrounded by a couple of people I didn't recognise. I closed my eyes and tried to materialise something out of thin air. I opened my eyes and there was a small chest in front of me. I picked it up and opened it, and there was a ring inside. I could feel myself starting to wake up so I rubbed my hands together and my body started feeling like it was tingling a lot. I can't remember anything after that, but I woke up pretty soon.

    3. 15th Sep 2013 - Video game dreams and MiniLD FA

      by , 09-15-2013 at 03:29 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's nap, had some problem of not being able to fall asleep at first but in the end still got lucid for a bit.

      Dream 1:

      I was playing some shmup and it was final stage. It was happening over some kind of futuristic base and there were lots of very hard enemies which i've had to stream along the screen almost op to the upper right corner. It was pretty hard and i was on last life in the end, the base segment of the level ended with a descent into darkness, there was an final boss warning, then it faded out.
      I wake up and i feel that i am dreaming, i look at my hand and it's a bit weird, then i get up but dream fades, and this time i wake up properly.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was playing some kind of FPS that was a mix of different games, namely Quake 4, Doom 3 and Prey(Funnily fitting since they all use same base engine), i was going through a bunch of 'testing' maps which were mostly bland rooms with weapons and enemies, i was fighting Doom 3 enemies using quake 4 weapons, then quake 4 enemies using prey weapons, and so on. Then there was another similar map, i've had rocket launcher thing from prey(forgot how is it called) and some ammo, but enemies were quite unique. There were a few enemies that looked a bit like 'harvester' enemies from prey, except they didn't had robotic parts and were fully organic, then there were also jumping mutant pigs, some kind of three headed mutant and some another humanoid enemy. At one point i was out of ammo for rocket launcher thing, but i've had some huge bomb that finished the rest.
    4. Clay Planetoids

      by , 09-15-2013 at 02:40 PM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      This is the first of four lucid dreams from last night. I took the last of my galantamine and had an odd number of pills so I ended up taking 12mg with 500mg Choline. The effects of it seemed really strong. I had that buzz feeling that I got the first few times I started using it and about and hour total of wakefulness. I got to try a couple of personal goals and although things didn't quite go as planned I was still very pleased.

      #228 - WILD - 3:10AM

      I do a full WILD and start feeling funny in my body. I keep getting moments of floating sensations and a strangeness in my head that could only be the starting stages. Then I get a strong floating feeling and latch on to it. I am dumped out of bed and can hear a tearing sound like the sheets where ripping. I get up and go into the next room. Everything is well lit and vivid. Suddenly something touches my arm. It was my wife she had moved a little. Then the whole bed shakes as she rolls over. This wakes me up a little and I have to start over. I am still in the zone and get back to it quickly.

      The next transition is a little forced and blind until I get outside. I see some man sitting on the steps. His head is shaved and he looks like he may be Philippino or Mexican/Asian. I feel like I know him and have a good feeling about his being there. I really want to see his face. I say something to him so he will look but he does not move. So I keep him in sight as I circle around. He has that "familiar" face but I don't feel like it's anyone I actually know. I later wish I had stopped to really talk to him but right now I am on a mission to get to the Moon and look back at Earth.

      I say to the man, "Come one, man. Are you ready for this? The Moon is going to be awesome!" He makes no reply so I forget about him. I look up and see a waxing gibbous moon bright in a clear night sky. I look at it to focus fly towards it. As I focus on it I relax and my body floats up slowly then pauses. The light of the moon becomes too bright and is white washing everything. I look down and see that I am only just above tree level. The man is just sitting on my porch steps looking up at me. I focus again my vision around the moon distorts like it should. I thing I am about to go but the light blinds me again and everything turns white. I close my eyes and feel an intense acceleration.

      The next thing I see is a strange vortex in the middle of a low resoltion nebula and stars. I enter it without thinking and blackness gets me again. I don't worry about it. I just switch to physical sensations. I start feeling around on the ground for moon sand. It takes a lot off effort but after some time I can feel like I am grabbing handfuls of sand. I feel around some more and feel a rock. I bang it on the ground and hear a hollow underwater clunking sound. I feel like this is good enough and begin to peer into the back of my eyelids like I am trying to see in low light. After a second or two, I see gray sand in front of me and I am on my hands and knees. I look up and see a blurry moonscape horizon. I get up and look for Earth.

      Out to my left there is another moon sized object hanging in blackness. It doesn't look like Earth at all. Instead it looks reddish with swirling orange stripes and large knobs protruding uniformly around it. There seems to be no dept of atmosphere and it all looks like its made of clay. Disappointed, I look down at the moon I am on and it too has taken the appearance of clay. I no realize this moon is way too small. It seems more like an asteroid. I jump on it for fun and the entire moon bounces and gives with my weight. I then decide that is needs to rotate and I make that happen by planting my feet and spinning.

      Not wanting to give up, I look again for Earth but on the other side. I see a very Earth like planet but it too has no depth and looks to be made of clay. I jump to it and orbit it hoping things will become more life like. It does not. It's literally like a giant ball of clay. I try falling to the surface wondering if it will take me back home. The dream goes dark again and I feel like I am falling for just a moment. I suddenly open my physical eyes and wake up.

    5. The robbers of the redneck family

      by , 09-15-2013 at 12:00 PM (The Redeeming Dreamer)
      9/15/2013, 10:05-5:50

      I got off the computer at 8:25 last night. Didn't meditate, too busy talking with my family. Went to sleep at like 10:05, couldn't fall asleep till 11:00.

      Dream 1:

      I was in a town, and there was an arena in it. I went into the arena and forgot the rest of what happened. There was also the number 20 somewhere.

      Wake-up (3:42):

      Got up to go to the bathroom and drink some water. Thought about having an LD and stayed up for 3 minutes till 3:45 (numbers are in order ). Then, I fell asleep around 15 minutes later, and had a "lucid moment". Woke up a few seconds afterwards, probably too excited.

      Dream 2:

      This one was pretty long. I was in a barn at first. Well, a barn that was somehow turned into a bar. I saw these four suspicious people. They were all fat; really fat. One was an Indian guy, another was African-American guy. There was also a fat white woman, and a fat white guy with glasses. They were all staring at me and talking to each other.

      So I left the bar and met my dad. We went to someone's house (a redneck-ish person) that looked EXACTLY like mine! Dad and I stayed there for a few hours, talking with the guy. There was also this cute curly blond daughter the guy had. I think I talked to her. All was well when, eventually, I saw the four fat people again! They were on the back deck of the house. My dad and the redneck guy were in the living room, talking, while I was with his daughter standing, staring at the 4 trespassers. They tried to quickly open the sliding screen door, but I quickly locked it with every lock there was (which, apparently, was that driving lock thing and three regular door locks on the side, more than it actually has). The 4 people then got angry, and entered the house through a secret door that I NEVER NOTICED before (sarcasm) that somehow went into the basement. I started screaming, "THEY'RE IN THE BASEMENT! THEY'RE IN THE BASEMENT!" Our parents and us quickly got up and went into the master bedroom. The redneck guy was trying to open the gun safe, when the four fat people came into the room, each carrying a pistol.

      The Indian guy then started pointing his gun at everyone, along with the white guy. The Indian was talking about something, probably to do with this being a robbery. He pointed his pistol at me, saying, "I'll shoot him!" (or something to that effect) and I then crossed my arms and rolled to the side, thinking he doesn't know where my chest is, if he shot me (lol what the heck was I thinking?). I then realized my arms were crossed and put them behind my back, palm in palm against the wall. My dad then said, "Okay. Let's go sit in the living room and negotiate something." (or, again, something like that) and all the adults left, leaving me and the girl in the bedroom.

      I tried to open the gun safe. It had a fairly sharp point at the top, and the top number was 2000! I then saw the girl go into the closet. I asked, "Why you going in there?" She said, "I don't want them finding me when I come back." I then decided to climb in with her. I then got this feeling we were gonna end up making out, and the dream ended.
    6. A Dangerous Game (13.9.13)

      Semi Lucid - red text
      Lucid - blue text

      I remember being in a room. I could hear someone making noise in the distance, as if it was in another room.
      Someone said to me that it was Lyoto Machida (MMA/UFC Fighter). He yelled out to us to let us know what he was doing. I think he was running the water in a bath, and it may have been the pipes rattling.

      Lyoto Machida - UFC Fighter



      [Scene Change]
      I was on a platform in the middle of the water. We were all playing around with each other. Someone decided to raise the stakes, and pulled out a gun. The gun was a grenade launcher which explodes on impact. One of guys shot two people off the platform. The two people that got shot had left there gun's and ammo behind, as if it was a video game (Battlefield 3). I walked up to the gun and ammo, and tried to equipped the gun, but instead equipped the ammo. I tried again, and now had the gun in my hand. I shot the grenade at the feet of two people, and they went flying off the platform. They got back up onto the platform, still alive. I was lining up one of the guys and he was too, ready to shoot each other. I freaked out as I thought I might have been shot first. I was rolling around on the floor while still aiming. I ended up bailing and rolled off the ledge. As I was falling I tried to shoot him.

      I was picked up by an inflatable boat. I was getting rushed to a medic as I must have been hurt. I suddenly realised that this wasn't right and that I must be dreaming. I didn't use a RC as I was certain it was a dream. I was now yelling out orders to the driver. The boat turned around and bounced off a wall. I willed the boat to go fast, which worked. I launched myself into the air to fly. I was idle in the air and saw a lot of people on a wooden deck. They must have been having a gathering. I flew towards the deck and started to fly higher. I could see everyone's head raise up in awe of me flying.

      Dream ended.

      I was walking on my street, and noticed, that there wasn't trees. I thought that it may be a dream, made RC. Remembered about TOTM and went to the 3-stories house. i came to the wall as near as possible and went. then the house transformed into a big room, i went to the ceiling, tried to walk on the ceiling and fall down on the floor. it wasn't pain, but unpleasant. i stood up and went on the wall again and on the ceiling too. So, from the second attempt i was professional ceiling - walker There was a mirrow on the ceiling, and i saw my reflection. Then i jumped and began to loose awareness, but remembered, that i didn't sing the ABC song. i sang it twice. The voice was mine. Than i tried to make a portal to feild with Quidditch,but each time found myself in the yard with multistory buildings. and awoke.

    8. Twentieth Lucid Dream - My Brain was... Helpful???

      by , 09-14-2013 at 08:37 PM
      So I was pretty inactive most of the summer. I don't know, it just seemed so busy. However, last night I had another lucid dream and it got me wanting to get back into it.

      I was at school with a friend of mine (who doesn't go to the same school as me). Since we had just gone dove hunting the weekend before, I was dreaming about... dove hunting. The weird thing is that we were hunting at school! My friend was the only one shooting however, and I kept telling him we shouldn't be hunting in the middle of town, but he ignored me. Anyways, eventually we decided to leave. However, I remember saying this exact thing... "Good thing I'm dreaming or we'd be in prison for shooting on school property."

      *KABOOM* If that isn't an obvious sign that you are dreaming then I don't know what is. Immediately after I said this, I became lucid and decided I was getting the heck out of Dodge. Apparently my brain has subconsciously been getting better at spawning things when I NEED THEM NOW, because my friend was being a jerk and didn't believe I was dreaming. I put my hand to my side and a .45 magically appeared. (wow, I would never do that in real life, but hey, there are dream goals that must be accomplished here!). I told my friend to back off, and I got in the truck and took off.

      My first thought was that I wanted to get away from everybody, out in the country where I would not be disturbed. It was very cool, because all the roads in my dream were laid out just like in real life. I got on the highway and was cruisin' as fast as the truck would go. I knew nobody could stop me. I went over some train tracks, got some air, it was awesome. Then this random firetruck came out of no where and I had to swerve around it. Anyways, I was almost to where I wanted to go.... but all of a sudden I woke up. >:-/

    9. Lucid in the Bathroom

      by , 09-14-2013 at 05:04 PM (The Redeeming Dreamer)
      9/14/2013, 10:00-6:00

      I don't remember any dreams, but I was lucid at some time between 5:00 and 6:00, but woke up a few seconds later. I got up at 5:00 and went back to sleep at 5:03.

      I remember the lucid feeling, and I also remember being in my bathroom, with a towel over the shower. I tried to visualize more of a scenario, but I ended up waking up.

    10. 14th Sep 2013 Weird chat and talk, and some more flying - Day 35

      by , 09-14-2013 at 03:31 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

      Dream 1:

      I was on skype and i was talking to SilentEternity and PN, i've noticed that their skype avatars were set to dragon pics for some reason and skype group name was changed, and their avatars were changed on some forums as well. We continued talk and them everyone went offline, i went to do some stuff around home then as i get back to PC i see SilentEternity, but he was acting like completely different person now, he changes his nick to "'Dragons In Dragons" and i briefly see something on the roof of one of houses outside(And after recalling i realize that it was a dragon), we continue talk and he mentions that he's indeed someone different, and that i should know him. Then i wake up.

      Dream 2:

      I am at home and suddenly family members walk into my room and say that i am a chimera created by an experiment? I say that they are wrong and they say something about father being a dolphin, i say that they are still wrong and that i am a dragon, then they add that mother is a dragon... And then that i will be able to see her soon, but that firstly i must come with them for something, i refuse to go with them and everything fades.
      I wake up as somebody is throwing some pillows at me and leaves the room, i look at my hand and it is weird, i am dreaming. I get up, shift to quadruped stance and go towards balcony, which is open, then i fly with my wings. It's night and there are lots of small houses and some temples around, i notice a few golden dragon statues. I fly around a bit, looking around, shortly the outside becomes a 'room' again. I fly more and use walls to quickly change direction of flight, i notice a few rare black scales on my hands and my feeling of wings gets very vivid. I fly around some more then i wake up.

    11. It's been awhile (agian)

      by , 09-14-2013 at 03:28 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I have been pretty inconsistent as of late in posting to this website. I think I went a good chunk of the summer without posting. But my dream recall has been nearly nonexistent. But I had a lucid dream last night, and it made me think about this website.

      Anyways, I don't know exactly where I was, it seemed to be this plaza or balcony type place, built on the side of a mountain. All I can remember was that the entire structure was made of a white metal or ceramic, save for the floor that was made out of grey stone tiles. There were stairways and bridges leading onto different terraced platforms. It reminded me of something you might see in a video game. Also, there were dream characters scattered about in the world, exploring the platform.
      Anyways, I just remember getting lucid, (I can't even remember how, I think it was a mental reality check.)
      And as soon as I had a good grasp on the fact that I was dreaming, a few of the dream characters approached me, and the looked absolutely livid. On my left was a tall blonde girl, and on my right was a large man, also a blonde. Directly in front of me was a man with short brown hair and a brown vest.
      I realized that I would be getting attacked once more. (As of late, I've been getting attacked by DCs when I become lucid, I don't know why.) I escaped the initial group, and began making my way across a narrow passage on the structure. The blonde man caught me and held me against the wall and started punching me. I could feel his blows, but they barely hurt.
      I yelled "Time Stop!" and the man froze. I then pushed him off the edge of the structure into a deep ravine. Then I woke up.

    12. That Woman

      by , 09-14-2013 at 02:35 PM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      I had a brief short DILD this morning. I either look into a mirror or a TV screen and see a woman who a appears to be a model of some sort. She is laying on her back and the view above the top of her head. She looks at me/the camera. She reminds me of the woman from the "Secret Lover" LD I had a while back and I become lucid. I can see something like a business card next to her and I reach in and take it. All I can is the the name "ALMA MCCONNELL" in print on the card. I study the name for several second repeating it over and over to check it out IWL. Too much of this causes the dream to end and I briefly wake up. I try to DEILD but lack the focus. I don't remember after that.

      Later I wondered if the last name was McDonald or McConnald but McConnell seems right. I did a web search and didn't find anything as Alma is an old name. (past life?) I did find out that there is an ALMA model agency. Some of those dark haired women seemed close it her but not quite right.

    13. Sleeping Body

      by , 09-14-2013 at 04:49 AM
      This LD was from the morning of 9/12/2013.

      Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

      Lucid #145: Sleeping Body

      I get the sense that a dream may have started, so I will my arm to move downward through the bed. It does, and now I'm floating blind through some sort of substance. It feels a bit like water but less substantial.

      I swim through it for a few moments until I can dimly see that the stuff I'm swimming through is black and wispy. My right hand touches somebody else's who also seems to be swimming next to me. It's apparently Wife, because she says, "Are you sure you know what you're doing?"

      Now I'm back in bed. I can see, but the light's very dim. I roll out in an OBE style and walk toward the bedroom door. Before I leave, I think to look back at the bed to see whether I'm there... and yes, there's Wife on her side, and next to her, rolled on his (its?) side is my sleeping dream body. For some reason my sleeping body isn't covered by the sheets so I can see that it's glowing slightly and is wearing some kind of blue shorts.

      I think about approaching my sleeping body but I decide that I don't want to get too caught up in this. As I'm thinking this, Wife sits up a bit in bed, looks toward me, and says, "What was that?" I wonder whether she's speaking to me or the sleeping body. I sense that this scenario is starting to challenge my lucidity, so I move on.

      I walk toward the closed bedroom door and then hear phase through it, briefly entering the void. I decide that the phase is just taking a long time and (somewhat reluctantly) the hallway scene appears and I'm walking through it. It still looks like my real hallway, but very dark.

      I continue into my son E's room and find that the place is littered with a bunch of huge toys. Near one window stands a four-foot tall plush zebra with plastic wheels. It looks like you're supposed to ride around on it. There are several other big toys as well, but I didn't get as good of a look at them and don't remember them as well.

      I don't see E, and I begin to wonder if he's here. I "sense" that there's a crib nearby and wonder if E is just younger than he was before. This train of thought is starting to distract me, so I move toward the window to phase outside. I
      wake up momentarily and then hold still for DEILD.

      The DEILD once again starts from my bed, and like before, my arm sinks into the bed. I go into the void and float for a while.

      Spoiler for Sexytime:


      I wake up.
    14. Nutty feeling

      by , 09-13-2013 at 08:50 PM
      Date: 10 Sept

      Pre bed: 200 mg valerian

      WBTB: 1/2 cappuccino

      Dream quality and recall: very deep sleep, vivid but almost zero recall

      TST: 7 hrs

      Fragment: I didn't write down, something to do with Malaysia

      Early mini-ld (+4 hrs): I am in some crazy deep sleep and see the thought of a boy band, very similar to Take That (maybe a video, or a picture in front of me). The moment I see this vision or whatever about them, with extreme speed one of the singers appears in the room in front of me, he is about 5 foot tall and the whole scene is mega bright and vivid. He is also wearing bright yellow clothes. This happens so fast, it jolts me into lucidity. I ignore him and rush to the balcony but feel the whole dream is very crazy - way too weird and dynamically changing. I can feel some strange and interesting dream stuff about to unwind in front of me as I am contemplating my actions on the balcony. I think it is too much for me to handle, so I wake myself up.

      Contemplations: I know this dream isn't that unusual but the feeling of it bothered me. It wasn't a bad, negative one, there was even a touch of euphoria but I felt the dream was like a huge wave of energy about to produce extraordinary or distracting events that I wasn't mentally prepared to deal with. That's what happens when you take valerian and have early lds.

      WBTB: coffee (26 mg caffeine) and mantras but zero recall after that
    15. 12th Sept Lucid dream within a dream...

      by , 09-13-2013 at 06:49 PM
      Had a lucid dream within a dream, not sure if this counts or not. In the dream I was in

      the theatre at college trying to go to sleep with my friend Zenna, who had kind of shed

      her head when she was lucid dreaming. It’s not as bad as it sounds it was just like an

      imprint of her head, she still looked the same, I then fell asleep and was really excited

      that I was lucid dreaming but had to be careful not to wake up. In the Lucid dream I

      was still in the theatre and my old English teacher (who I still see round college and

      talk to all the time) was there so I made her melt onto the floor like a candle. I was

      then in my bedroom and was making my reflection talk to me, which I did. I was

      trying to remember the list which I saw on dreamviews of things you can try to do

      and at the time I thought making my reflection talk was one of them although I think I

      just made that up. I also tried to make myself bleed because I thought that was on the

      list too – it didn’t work, I also tried to fly and failed at that. I kind of lost and regained

      lucidity during the dream within a dream
