Lucid Dreams
Dream ended - 6.40am Time Lucid - 4 to 5 mins Non lucid - grey text Semi Lucid - red text Lucid - blue text I woke up motionless, eyes closed. I changed things up and brought on heavy sleep breathing. To my surprise, I felt sensations and saw a scene forming in the distance (hallway vision), which I focused on. I think I lost the visions at one point but continued the sleep breathing, which brought on a full blown scene in front of me. I now knew I could enter the dream. I stood up and performed a RC (checked hand, extra finger). I was now lucid. I looked around and noticed that there was a bed from which I got out of to enter the scene (Every DEILD I have had, I have gotten out my own bed and never left my house.) I could hear my dog snoring in my real bed, which transferred over into my dream. I was not in my bed room this time, and saw Kayley in the bed. She was awake, and looking at her phone. I remembered to make sure to try and stabilise the scene. I rubbed my hands together, but it felt strange.. I wasn't sure if this would be enough, so I picked up an object (A glass) and focused on what it looked, felt and smelt like. I was distracted by two cats play fighting. I remembered to complete a simple task, which was to eat food in a dream. I went over to the pantry and looked for something to eat, to my surprise, there wasn't anything too appealing to eat. I thought I would use some dream control and expect something nice to be in front of me.. didn't work. I saw some hubber-bubber bubble gum, which caught my eye, but I wanted something better! I checked inside the freezer and saw some ice creams. There were two types, either a banana paddle pop or a magnum? I could see a lot of paddle pops up the top and a few magnums down the bottom. I must have become semi-lucid as I was contemplating on if the owner of the house would realise I had taken a magnum. I took the magnum and it tasted nice, but expected better. I don't think I concentrated enough on the taste. I walked outside and it was daytime. I was standing on a padio/deck looking out onto the backyard. The deck was about 2 metres off the ground. At my feet was steps, leading to the yard. The backyard was decent size, and I could see over the fence from where I was. I could see into the distance. I figured I should try and remind myself that I was dreaming, and focused on my hand. I was really trying to see every detail to it. My hand was pulsating and looked strange. I said ''I am dreaming'' to myself to remind myself, that I was in fact dreaming. Unfortunately this woke me up straight away! PS. skiesAffinity, I forgot all about the pudding I was meant to eat

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps. And new kind of WILD/DEILD entry(for me at least)! Also random fragment i recalled from previous sleep. Prev sleep: Dream 3(fragment): Some kind of factory, molten metal. WBTB/naps: Dream 1(fragments): I was doing stuff at home and was typing something on my PC, then i shouted something from balcony and heard some talk outside, then that talk started coming from weird directions. Dream 2: I wake up and go back to sleep while trying to DEILD, shortly some voice starts calling, and asking me about something, i feel falling sensation and open eyes, there appears to be hole leading into darkness below me right in the bed and i start falling into it while 'glitching out' aka periodically teleporting back to top like some kind of video game lag. Then everything fades. I wake up and look at my hands, they are weird so i am still dreaming. I get up from the bed, go into quadruped stance and focus as much as i can while shouting commands, it works out and i start becoming bigger and i feel as my head and neck becoming different and longer, soon i am almost ceiling high. I try to go out through(Pretty big) balcony doorway but dream suddenly fades out and i wake up. Dream 3: I am in the bed, looking through window outside. I see the moon, and it's daytime, it's grey and it's moving strangely quick. I think that "if i am dreaming it moon should start moving towards me". Moon suddenly transforms into Earth, or some Earth-like planet, not sure, and starts rapidly getting bigger-closer, surely i am dreaming! It crashes into Earth and there are debris and stuff floating outside and massive earthquake too. It also became kinda low/zero gravity. Strangely my room didn't changed at all. I get up and notice two characters fighting outside in the flight, one of them has black wings. I try to phase through window but suddenly curtain appears in front and blocks my way. Dream destabilizes but i manage to force it back, curtain attacks me by literally trying to cover me and my face, i tear it apart a few times but it keeps coming, then dream fades to black. Then i wake up, twice.

#227 - DILD - 5AM I am in something like a large aquarium with my wife and her sister. I have a paint brush that is emitting some form of heat. I paint a random rocks and they form into sculptures of fish. At some point I think that I must need to go up for air but I don't feel like I am holding my breath. In fact, I am breathing normally. I look up and see the surface of the water there is a trickle of water hitting the surface making bubbles. I think, "My other body is someplace else and not in water. That's how I am breathing." Then it dawns on me that I am dreaming. I know I had a goal but I can't seem to think how to get out of here. I begin swimming around looking for my wife but she has, of course, vanished. I swimming around for a while enjoying the ease of swimming and breathing underwater. I suck in and blow out exaggeratedly. As I swim along the length of the aquarium I notice a wall of mirror. I say, "I am dreaming." As I turn to the mirror and see the smiling idiot version of me looking back. I notice my hair is quite a bit longer and it is waving in the current of the water. Suddenly, the dream collapses and I wake up. I lay still and recall the dream but before I can record it. I end up in a non lucid dream. I walk up to a man sitting in a chair. He looks up and I recognize him as CanisLucidus. I start telling him about my LD and how long it took after G. I explain how I really thought it wasn't going to happen. Me: It took about 35 years to get lucid this time. CL: Wow, 35 years that's a long time. Me: Well it was 35 years in dream time. Actually more like 7 hours. CL: When did I do the TOTM? Was it when I was in Tucson? I look down and notice I am leaning on some sort of counter top. There is a sicker or button of some sort that read "Tues". Me: I think it was a Tuesday? CL: But was I in Tucson? I can't remember. I have no idea what he is taking about and as I flounder for a response I suddenly wake up just before the alarm clock.

LUCID *I am lucid in this dream just walking around enjoying the scenery. I keep thinking all of this comes directly from my mind. Thinking I try to look at my mind almost, focusing on the pure consciousness part of the mind. Everything becomes more lucid and stable when I do this. I think should I meditate with in this dream, then I wake up.
Fragment: "So the little girl had a last (something) request." Buffy setting. Angel has a son (not Connor), and someone is threatening to turn that son into a vampire. The vampire's trying to convince Angel that this would be a good thing - not trying too hard, he intends to do this for Angel's own good whether Angel wants it or not - and Angel's trying to show him why it's a bad idea. He calls out a kid vampire he'd made himself, Angel's holding him by the shoulders and the kid says he died when he was 8, looks older but not by much, and then says "I'm good with math, but facial recognition..." The point is that the brain stops developing before its time. There were some earlier fragments in that same setting - talking about once-in-a-lifetime perfect happiness vs. just plain everyday happiness, and watching Buffy walking down a sidewalk past a brick wall. (Woke up. Back to sleep.) Reading about Josephine Baker, a sister who'd died and a mother she'd admired. (Woke up. Back to sleep.) Forever Knight setting. As Nicolas, I'm with some humans in a public place, in a hurry, when just for a moment I spot LaCroix and Janette in the crowd with someone else, a woman either I or Janette turned relatively recently, within the past century or so - I desperately want to be with them. I'd been cut off from them. I can't just abandon my humans here, but I have to at least get a message to them. I make my excuses and head back to where I saw them. (I'd seen them dressed as they did in the 1940s - symbolic for happier times together. Also a connection to a kid vampire, so this dream was probably partially inspired by the Angel one.) In a hallway. LaCroix was here a moment ago, sitting in a chair at the end of the hall, and I'm looking at a telegram that was on the table next to him. I wonder if that bit about text in dreams changing when you look away is true. I focus on an 8; I look again, and it's a 58; then 8 again, then a Cyrillic н. I guess it's true. (As I was expecting it to change, this seems a bit pointless.) I then resume looking for LaCroix. I'm riding in a truck with a man who spots a pair of coyotes and stops the truck to shoot them. I knock the gun off target. With that same man, I'm standing over a pair of bucks who are lying on the ground with several arrows in their sides, suffering because I knocked the killing shot off course. I'm with someone else, a guy from the city, and watching that man pull into his driveway with the body of a horse in the back of his truck. We're standing in front of his neighbor's house, a chubby, long-haired, middle-aged hippie who is burning something that looks like a sphere of hay the size of a beach ball. The fire spreads to the ground, and then to his neighbor's yard, burning in strange geometric shapes, circles and lines. I start clapping, seeing that man's property on fire. The hippie tells me about a protest he's about to go to, a bunch of people are going to jump off a clocktower, do we want to come? The guy standing with me isn't interested, but I'm up for it. (Woke up. Back to sleep.) A man and a woman with accordions warming up for a show in front of a mirror, the man comments on how beautiful the red of his accordion is. I'm playing a piano duet with that man, and while his part is beautiful to listen to, my part has so little to do that I lose track of where we are and come in late, I play slow and haltingly. I wonder why he doesn't just play the whole piece himself, he could easily play my part with his left hand. A machete being given to someone as a gift. My IRL sister S. calls me and describes a place she stopped at as "a Twin Peaks diner." The use of Twin Peaks as an adjective makes no sense to me - what, do they have great pie with a side of prophetic dreams? Twin Peaks setting, 3rd person, as a disembodied observer I'm looking at the trees along a mountain road, bare of leaves, small and spindly trees, so close together that none of them really had a chance to grow. A jeep comes down the road, driven by the sheriff, with Cooper in the passenger seat. Cooper's talking about how cold it's gotten, and he's pleasantly nervous about his date tonight. There's an accident of some kind, an earthquake or a landslide, and the jeep gets stuck; the sheriff gets out of the jeep to walk along a footpath into the mountains. Cooper wants to take care of something in the jeep before he follows, something to calm him down before his date. The landslide or whatever it was that trapped the jeep has opened up a second path next to the usual footpath, and as a disembodied observer I think 'You are obviously being invited on a personal quest. Take it.' The sheriff doesn't take it. However, the usual path crumbles beneath his feet, and he lands on the second path anyway. At the moment the footpath crumbles beneath him, so does the road holding up the jeep, and it falls into a crevice with Cooper still inside.

I woke up at around 8 AM and left my room to go downstairs. I realize I'm dreaming as I go down the steps. The dream feels fuzzy but I can still feel the railing and hear the ping of the railing. I have a FA and am now in my dining room. There is a storm outside, the backyard is flooded and it looks like a tornado is on the house. After the storm the backyard seems to have changed. I look around and note that the leaves on the tree are a different color and some people's backyard ornaments are missing. Later I'm in a really weird place that is a combination of a bouncy castle and a candy land. I got here from a mazelike blue building where a DC said something about "my (their) fortress" and I thought "yeah, your fortress" because of how confusing the hallways were.
LUCID *As soon as I attained lucidity I was given the task of the gatekeeper for school full of kids that were just bombed by one of there classmates. I took the task as real and felt that this was something important. There is alot more details to this dream but I am in a rush.
Non Dream Dream Lucid After numerous fails, I'm trying harder to master stabilization. The first step is to find a nice routine to follow. I look out the window from my bed to find the sky filled with stars. It almost looks like some of them are moving like water. After I got up and I look at the sky more closely, I could see the Big Ben. I do a nose pinch and I can breathe. I think about what my goal was. I forgot what it was. I noticed I had some glasses on (I don't wear glasses in real life). I took them off but they kept regenerating themselves. I found myself thinking about my body so I decided to let it go. All of the sudden, I floated in the air uncontrollably but was able to lower myself just by imagining it. I was in a house similar to my dads now, in the living room. I finally remembered my goal of summoning a candy and examining it. I took a candy out of my pocket and looked at it. It was a small, clear sucker with a decoration of Snoopy in the middle. I smelled it but it didn't smell like anything. I tasted it but it didn't taste like anything. I looked around and saw a child on a wooden staircase. She was smiling at me. The dream was pretty vivid at this point. She probably wanted a candy. I woke up.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps. Had almost WILD where i got to transition with HH of someone entering room and trying to wake me up, but didn't got any further than that. Then the second nap, same HH but this time with voice: 'Wake up". I wake up into dream and get up from the bed, i look around and nobody seems to be here and location of stuff in room seems to be different, i shift to quadruped stance and remember about TOTM, going on the walls/ceiling thing. I go onto the wall easily but when reaching the ceiling i get confused my position and then i am back on the floor, well then. I go towards the door and attempt to finish shift, door becomes slightly reflective and i see something blurry and shortly i feel pain out of sudden, then dream fades out. In dark, i focus my will on getting it back. I wake up and do RC, hands weird so still dreaming, i go towards balco-... well there's no balcony but just exit outside for some reason, on ground level. I go outside and look around then i end up losing lucidity and start walking on streets and talking to random DCs, then shortly i wake up.

#226 - SSILD - 5:49AM I am playing an old Playstation game, Road Rash 3D. Soon there are impossible turns and only a partial view of the screen. I complain how hard this is. After a little while it turns into a guy driving a some dinky little car. It's like I am watching TV but I am controlling the actions of the actor. It seems British and I realize I am driving on the wrong side of the road though I am already on the left side. Cars swerve all over to avoid me. I shout, "BUT I AM DRIVING ON THE OTHER SIDE ALREADY!" Then, the car crashes and the guy rolls out. Two very hairy and shirtless men rush to him. The driver now has no shirt and smiles real big as he cuddles with the two men. I become disgusted by all the hairy gayness and turn away from the TV. Now I am in some ally that seems like something from Sesame Street. There are two or three kids near me. There was something about some gang members and I begin to hear really cheesy hip hop music. I note this as odd and briefly wonder how I am going to describe the music in my dream journal. Then something happens. I turn to my right and see a large trash can full of ice. I assume the gang members did that as their form of vandalism. I suddenly become fully lucid as I use my dream control to change the ice into cotton candy. I reach my hands out to the ice and will it to turn. The pile of ice become blurry and as my vision sharpens back up it now looks like pink and blue cotton candy. I pull out a large chunk of it and hand some to the kids as I shout, "COTTON CANDYYYYYY! I notice how light and fluffy the stuff feels; almost like holding air. Then I say, "See? Those guys weren't so bad after all." For some reason I felt like my wife had been next to me during most of the dream and I turn to find her. I really want to share my cotton candy with her and boast about what I did. I still have a very large chunk in my hand and I take a bite. It doesn't taste quite like cotton candy but it is very sweet. I follow some narrow passage between buildings and begin to see her in a version of our kitchen at home. I rush to her but at that moment the dream fades and I wake up.
Date: 7 Sept Pre bed: Gingko Total sleep time: 9 hrs Dream quality and recall: pre wbtb dreams above average vividness, but very sleepy, also undergoing a sleep schedule readjustment, so below average recall and too lazy to take notes. Post wbtb average vividness to above average, good recall. WBTB I tried to wild like the previous days but was feeling uncomfortable and this was taking way too long so just fell asleep. Dream: I found this dream quite nonsensical/incoherent and with lots of DS, which is why I am including the details. It was getting warm and loud already and I suspect I went into deeper sleep. This woman wants to take two hair accessories I had in the past from my hair, it hurts. Ok, I will give you both just be patient, I say. She asks if I have dandruff. A moment later, same place, there is some sort of story about a Japanese girl, a guy and their friend and the girl is upset. She enters the restroom and starts putting shaving cream on her face. There is a narrator saying that after that she went walking around in something like a hospital where everybody saw her with the cream and she lost face. Both the guy and the girl have long hair. The perspective changes and I am that girl now, looking in the mirror as my face changes (some male asian features long dark hair/to female asian) and the shaving cream turns to a face mask. I do the peel off mask procedure and think about the girl who is now a separate person and want to explain that she didn't need to go over the whole drama with the shaving because it can be used as a peel off mask. After I take off the mask and throw it away, decide that I want to pee, so try to close the door of this public restroom. Actually there are two doors with lots of locks that don't make sense, but I do my best to close and lock them. As I proceed to do my thing, I notice that my hands are dirty with some food leftovers and before I can do anything else see that the room is now being filled with water - no wait, it's soup. I am wearing my old sleepers from 10 years ago and they are getting soaked. I turn to my left and can't believe this is happening, I can actually see how this soup water is leaking through the walls and immediately come up with an explanation for it. There is a food stall and its kitchen is on the wall just behind the restroom. I wonder if I should inform them about the situation. Fragment: There is a yard that is covered with snow. Initially it is separated by glass fence, then normal fence. I can see cat footprints in the snow, then as I am staring I slowly realize (i.e. unconsciously summon) there is a dead cat/wild cat under the snow. Now there are two cats. The snow melts and one of them moves, I remark that it is alive and expect to see the other one moving as well. I can see it is breathing. A woman that owns the yard comes by, she has a large fluffy dog that runs around and there are other animals there as well, a cow or a small horse. Short DILD: I am on bus station in my home town and realize that I am dreaming. Finally, I say to myself. In my mind the bus goes to school and I want to see my friend. I look around but my friend is not on the station (some dream instability here) and there is a bus about to depart so I hurry and get in. I expect to see my friend there and imagine him being one of the passengers. For a minute I see his face but as I move closer it changes to another guy. There's a group of guys sitting there and they are way too loud. I quickly wonder about that (too much DC independence). I know this is not going to work, but then I remember I can at least call. I try to spot a phone in the guys' hands. They are busy loudly talking to each other and no phone. I move a few seats back and there is something like a display in another guy's hand. I take it and it turns into my bf's phone, how weird is that! Alright, now I am just going to press any button and start the conversation. I press the dial key and check the screen, it goes dark and into some sort of error mode. I repeat a few more times with the same effect. Oh well, I just take the phone to my ear and say my bf's name. I hear a woman's voice replying as if I just asked to talk to my bf, saying he is just going somewhere. I am not sure if I asked or thought about another question, but she also adds a short yes. I decide to ask about the friend I was looking for in the bus. She replies similarly but in past tense. I briefly wonder if this makes any sense. The woman then proceeds to ask me why am I asking about my friend since I am supposed to know where he is. She mentions the name of an unknown location where we (his friends) often meet. I feel as if I am talking to real person now and wonder what kind of explanation to give, scanning the surroundings looking for an appropriate answer as the dream fades. @ Xanous if you are reading this, I still plan to give you a call. Gotta work on prospective memory!

I did a quick wake back to bed this morning at 3AM. Just long enough to go pee and lay back down to do SSILD cycles. Having reread the tutorial I payed closer attention to doing it right and taking my time. I fell asleep fairly quickly Non Lucid Dream I built a flying vehicle. It looks like just the base of a car with no wheels or more like a floorboard with seats. I am controlling height and forward motion with a set of joysticks. My two daughters are with me and I am taking them to school. At one point I have a hard time controlling the car and we spin upside-down. My younger daughter nearly falls out but the seatbelt kept her in. I barely notice that we are in some large gym. I say something about how important seat-belts are and we fly on but slowly and at a low level. Now we are outside and I see kids from elementary school. The car vanishes and I am just hovering above them alone. I feel invisible and safe now that I can fly. I taunt them a little but decide I should stop because they will just find me later. I wake briefly felling dumb for not getting lucid and do quick SSILD cycles before falling asleep again. #225 - SSILD - 4:10AM I am outside on my front porch. There are a bunch of people in my yard and cars parked everywhere like its some sort of party. Some guy is causing a big scene because he has to shave his arms but hes all embarrassed about it. He moaning and complaining as he starts running a razor up one arm. I see Laura standing in the street cheering him on and laughing. I think he is being dumb and see no issue shaving my own arms. I look down and have a razor and begin to shave but its like there is no blade in it and does nothing to the hair. Some other guy walks up the first man and tells him that he has a lot of respect for him. I look the dude over and he is wearing a kilt and has his face painted like Mel Gibson in Braveheart. I laugh at him and then something clicks. I decide that this had to be a dream but I don’t really believe it right away. I do a quick nose plug. I blow through but this I don't even feel pressure on my nose though I can clearly see my hand on my face. I grab a random person next to me and tell him this is a dream. He looks excited and smiles real big jumping up and down. I try to think of a goal but realize I didn't have one! I remember I saw Laura and became curious why I keep seeing her in dreams. I run out to the street to find her but she and almost all of the party people have now vanished. I search around but the dream has now collapsed and I wake up.
Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps. Dream 1(fragments): I was doing some search on internet and was looking for videos about dragons, then i've found some site with music and was checking it out. There were music tracks with a pic of some rusty metallic places, i was listening to them and there was some weird creaking sound in all of them also, then suddenly i was in that place and then i remembered what that place was: silent hill-like otherworld. Then dream ended. Dream 2(fragments): I was doing some coding stuff and was coding some stage, it resulted apparently in a boss fight that looked like made in fraxy, it was spaceship-like boss with two big parts that were detaching to attack and it also had one pattern with firing beam bunch of beams downwards while slowly moving around the top and firing some projectiles around. Then it slightly glitched out and i closed the game, then ended up chatting with someone about various true last bosses in shmups. This one is WILD or maybe WILD from FA dream, i am not sure. Dream 3: I am in my bed with closed eyes and i feel that i am dreaming, suddenly somebody is trying to wake me up, i open eyes and get up and see some DC, we briefly talk about something(i am still not good at recalling talk) and i go to balcony door, as i try to phase through it suddenly curtain gets in the way, not again... as i touch it dream destabilizes entirely and starts fading, i try to will it back. I wake up, but the table seems to be in the wrong position i am still dreaming, i go to balcony which is open now and look around. It's sunny day and there appears to be forest to the left, some small buildings, and in the distance, some huge black, leafless, trees. I take off and fly with my wings but dream shortly fades out and i wake up.
In my front yard. Not sure how I realized I was dreaming, but it may have been that many of my dreams lately have been in my front yard. After becoming lucid, I walked around taking in how real it all felt. I was about to feel the ground, when I remembered my goal of eating something. I wanted an apple. I put my hand behind my back and felt an apple materialize. When I brought my hand back there was a dark red apple. It was the best apple I have ever tasted. Just the right mixture of sweet and sour,softness and crispness. It turned into a plum after a few bites, but that was good too. :P I then tried to think of what I wanted to do next I remembered my other goal of finding a wizard, and getting him to teach me magic. I closed my eyes and thought of the inside of a castle as I spun around. When I opened them, I was underground. Everything was brown stone, but well lit. I kept having to crawl through perfectly square holes, and at some point it turned into minecraft -_- I found the wizard at his castle, but he was just a minecraft mob that could fly. I was having problems making the fight "fullscreen" and I just "shut down" the game and found myself in the kitchen. I remembered the task of the month for august, so I went looking for a dream character to ask the meaning of life. (not sure if I forgot it is september or just wanted to do the task.) I found my mom and asked her, but she just said "What?" and started scolding me for random things. I found this too un-dreamlike, and lost lucidity. I then went to my room and my desk was covered in schoolbooks and children's books about racial and religious toleration. dream fades. Notes: I am happy to have had another lucid dream, and I had better control in this one. The apple thing worked perfectly, but the Teleporting was not what I wanted. Also I really need to avoid my mom in dreams. D: All she does is scold.
08.09.2013Her Family Jewels Are Still Intact...Wait..Her What??? (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Boy, me talking about the lucidity at the right time in the dream journal entry I had yesterday? I don't even know anymore. I just can't have the decency to describe this dream in long detail. [18+] This isn't even that graphic in the first place. I just state a word or two, and whatever imagery you come up with it is YOUR fault, not mine man.I'm exiting a room and I'm going into a hallway, and I encounter a female that's sitting on a desk and is working on a computer. For some odd reason, Spoiler for You Wot M8?: I just decided to grope her butt. Because, why the hell not?!?! LUCID DREAM. FREE SEX? HNNNNGHHH. I started saying things I don't want to state here, and then she complies and starts going into the spread eagle position, and I get more grope-y with her vagina. And then suddenly, It's not a vagina. One lump. Two Lumps. One bigger lump. Family Jewels. Houston we have a problem. Then when I'm trying to get out of this situation, she gives me fellatio. So I decided to just wake up and just....you know, try to cope with what happened just now. I will admit she could've gave the best fellatio. You want to know how hard it is to get out of a situation like that? She wanted to do it man, she wanted to do it, her nails were already skin deep man. Why Why. Why. WHY COULDN'T YOU INSERT THE RIGHT GENITALIA!!@#$%^&
