lucid

08-29-2013 -- [Short dream with not too much to it, that turned out to be quite detailed and long.] Something about cats, other animals, and possibly digging holes in the back yard at the Hickory house. Something else about BC being around. Then I find myself in a classroom setting. It feels very like a high school class, though the teacher is Julie Davey. No idea what the subject is. I've just finished a test of some sort, and it seemed somewhat quick and simple. I seem to be spending the time afterward brainstorming some fiction writing or something, perhaps a Victor story, when Julie comes by for my test, surprised I am done so quickly.

I explain I think I did quite well, and she agrees, knowing how I always seem to test pretty well, and I start rummaging through my things until I come across the newspaper clipping we were supposed to be reviewing after the test. Glancing at the picture, wondering what it is about, I see almost a full-size model of a rocket, made out of huge balloons, and am thinking how I've made a similar ship out of a 160 and a bee body many times.

Julie looks at the clock, and it is just a couple of minutes before 5:30, so she tells us to start gathering our things, and get back to a more usual seating arrangement than the random groupings we'd been in. I end up sitting next to a cute blonde, waiting for the last couple of minutes to end, and we somehow seem to be talking about how about half the class had left at 1:30. Perhaps it was an optional class or something.

Class is soon over, and I find myself approaching Dale's house. I almost seem to be floating over the Nabisco plant to reach his driveway. (Considering later in the dream I am lucid and do some flying, perhaps I was flying here, as well.) I am driving a car, but as I approach their driveway, I remember something about them repaving it, and I walk up carrying my motorcycle, trying to get it on the strip of grass next to the paved driveway, where all their cars are parked, right now. (In real life, that strip of grass is at most a foot and a half wide.)

I find myself passing three animals that seem to look a lot like wolves, and I am a little worried, but not much. Then they shift and sit up, then start to hop off, and I realize they aren't wolves, but kangaroos, and wonder what the heck they are doing in Buena Park? Somehow I seem to be soaked, so I am taking off my pants and shirt and dropping them on the cycle, and wrapping myself in a big gray towel. About that time, Kevin wanders out of the house, says a couple of sentences of what seems to be gibberish, and then climbs in a car and drives off, which worries me. (He's not allowed to drive.)

I open the door to the house and walk in, only thinking about what I might walk into to barging into somebody else's house without knocking after I get inside, so I kind of bashfully knock on the wall. Fred and Betty are in the living room, and they don't seem to have minded my walking right in. I spot odd movement on the floor, and find myself looking at an odd white and pink puppy that seems to be a cross between a bijon and a poodle, though the coloring looks like some of the white and pink snakes I saw pictures of on the internet a few months ago. Soon I see two more wiggling out from under the blank. I ask Betty "You got new dogs?", kind of surprised. She tells me they don't know if they will keep them.

I have brought a cheap pizza with me, and open the refrigerator to put it in there, and see they have maybe 3/4 of a huge 26 inch party pizza from Ciro's sitting in there, pepperoni and sausage. Wish I'd known ... I wouldn't have bothered with the lousy one I got. I'm thinking I have to see if I can snag a couple of slices. Meanwhile, I am trying to find Dale, so I walk a few feet down the corridor to his room, but when I glance inside, he has a couple of girls in there, with him. [Not doing anything wrong ... this isn't that kind of dream.] I'm thinking about razzing him about it, until I realize I am still walking around wrapped in a towel, and decide I had better get some clothes on. It seems today is a big ball game of some sort, and they have a lot of people over to see it.

I walk outside, wanting to get my clothes, but somehow the area has changed a little, and I have to climb a fence (like we were going to visit Bertha) to get back to where my motorcycle is parked, I finally find it, and grab my blue shirt and start putting it on, just to discover I am putting it on over the top of another one. Somehow a shirt and pants just appeared on my body, and I realize I am dreaming. I try to hop the fence back to Dale's, but somehow I seem to be being pulled in the opposite direction. So I leap up and try to fly, and manage the flying, but am getting sucked at high speed toward what was the Nabisco plant. I go crashing through a wall, and find myself standing in a room surrounded by people.

It seems I have somehow been kind of summoned, as I am now surrounded by lots of people, and they have called me to be a candidate, as they try to figure who they want as their candidate for president. There are a bunch of other candidates as well, and they are talking to people, making speeches, and all of them are holding on to their wives. Every one. I look around and see an attractive blonde (she kind of looks like Reese Witherspoon) watching everything, and I grab her and pull her to me, just kind of joking around. She turns to tell me off, and our eyes meet, and wow! It's like we suddenly know everything about each other. Her head kind of tilts to the side as she studies me, and a small grin starts to form on her face before I lean in and give her a gentle kiss, then wrap my arm around her shoulder. We're now a couple, and very happy to have found each other.

But she is working here, and has things to do, so I have to let her go for a time. The others and I are writing speeches and songs or something, and I am singing a little ditty I've been working on. It's not fabulous, but it's not too bad, either. But one of the others makes a really nasty comment about it. I turn to him, ready to rip into his song, but I don't really want to run that kind of a campaign, so I have to settle for simply telling him his needs some work, too. Besides, I don't really have all that much interest in singing some kind of political song. Instead, I decide I want to sing to my new love, and am trying to remember the words to a song I wrote about 18 years ago called Love with Me. In waking life I can remember it fine, but in the dream, it was a struggle. Meanwhile, I have no voice, so I am not going to be able to sing well, but I hope the words (and the fact that I wrote it) will still have meaning to her.

Dale is here, as well, and we are wandering around the convention, and for some reason I am carrying a fire hose with me, though it isn't spraying. We're just approaching a stadium, and preparing to look for seats, and I am wondering just how much length this hose has, as I've dragged it a pretty far distance by this time. My new girlfriend shows up, and I drape my arm around her shoulder, lean my head against her, and just relax in the wonderful feeling of having her there next to me.

This was yesterday morning. On my phone so I'll be brief. I WILDed early, around 7am I think. After the vibrations, I knew I was dreaming, but I couldn't move my dream body, and I couldn't see. But I was able to imagine that I was gently rolling off the bed, and I landed on my feet on the bedroom floor and I could see. I went straight to the floor and pushed my face through. A tunnel to hell formed, but it was quiet, dark, and not much fire. Which actually seemed more creepy. I called down "I'm coming down!!" and I saw the devil poke his head into the tunnel and turn to look up at me. His eyes reflected light, and I was scared for a moment. My fear caused the devil to change into a more docile form (CL if you're reading this, we need to talk about how emotions really drive the dream setting and characters). Anyway, the devil turned into a chubby old black lady, still with the eyes though. I yelled for a rope to appear, and started down, but I woke up. I deilded and did the exact same thing, only I tried to summon beers on the way down, woke up again. Deilded again, this time skipped hell and went into the kitchen. I went blind on the way, but I could still feel so I kept walking and made it to the kitchen and got my sight back. I saw an old woman looking in my fridge, and I recalled the basic task! I asked her the meaning of life and she said "I am a good ___ and a good leader." I didn't hear the first work so I asked her to repeat. She said "I am a good dad, and a good leader." Lol ok. I woke up.

So, thought my life, I have had three dreams I might consider lucid dreams. One was also a false awakening, which you can read about in another entry. I woke up in a different room, realized I was actually dreaming, and was terrified. I also remember having one around the same time that may have been a lucid dream, I was again, trying to get out of it. I knew what I was doing but somehow couldn't get out. I dunno. Then I had another, but I honestly forgot what it was about. I also think these are lucid dreams because even after 7 years, I still remember the fragments clearly, in perfect detail.

I wanted topmost, one time when I was six or so, I had my first first false awakening. I think it may have also been a lucid dream. I woke up in a room that wasn't mine from another dream, it was purple. I couldn't escape. I even realized that I was dreaming, which you can read about in other entries.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps. Still need to fix my schedule.

Dream 1(fragments):

Something was going on at home.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was entering a place which was a room of some prince or king, it was guarded by two guards with swords.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was in some place, and my upper tooth fell off, it was painless and on it's place i felt completely different kind of tooth.

Dream 4(fragments):

Something is going on and then i wake up in my bed, keeping eyes closed.I hear someone in the room and i have suspicion that i am dreaming, in a second that somebody starts trying really hard to wake me up and i feel the dream, then he disappears and i try to move but i wake up.

Dream 5(fragments):

I was in some forest or jungles.

Dream 6(fragments):

I woke up and suddenly get a number of images about some beach going in my vision, confusing me and causing some kind of momentary pain. I unconsciously end up biting blanket and then some family members show up and there's some talk about drink. Then i search a place to put my headset on and choose the most ridiculous place possible behind a big cabinet, making said cabinet almost fall down.

After just over a week of getting my dream recall and awareness up to scratch, I had a Lucid. It was only short but wasn't expecting it so early.

I was at a school in my home town called (St Agatha's Primary). I never attended this school.
I noticed a steel fence, which had a hole at the top. I climbed through the hole pretty quickly, and was pretty impressed. I looked back to see a girl climb over. She did it with so much ease, It was as if she climbed it in 1 transition.

We were both walking down the road where the general store (right next to school). She was about 10 meters in front of me, I had a feeling she may have thought I was following her, but I was going the exact way she was. She veered off to the Skate Park, and funny enough, so did I. She kept looking back at me, convinced I was following her.

The girl was now in a wheel chair. She went straight for the half pipe and launched herself into the air to complete a DOUBLE BACK FLIP.. I laughed in disbelief and did a RC (Checked my hand) and noticed extra fingers. I didn't get over excited surprisingly. I didn't stabilize the dream, instead I looked around and everything was extremely vivid, it looked like reality.

I saw 2 people, I think I knew them. I was going to tell them that this was a dream out of excitement, but decided not to.

I was on roller blades and went straight towards the ramps. I was doing some sweet tricks with so much ease. I don't think I was fully lucid, but was aware nothing could hurt me.

I was talking to a few people that I knew, and told one of them that I was going to do a triple. I think a friend (Jamie S?) asked me if him asking me to try and do a quadruple backflip, would piss me off? I said it would be pretty hard, but I'll try and get the triple back flip out of the way first.

I continued doing tricks at ease. I waited on top of the half pipe to focus myself on the triple back flip. I noticed a dog at the bottom of the table top, I think it was my dog Trigger (who passed away this year), He had a blanket around him. I was worried that I would land on him if I went for the flip. I was looking at the spine (2 half pipes with there backs together), getting myself pumped for the flip, and noticed the rail on the spine was warped. I decided to go to the right of it where the other ramp was.

A sound, like a horror movie (like when the killer if sneaky up on their victim) was being played. The scene turned from light to dark, and red writing was printed in my vision. A villain in the dream was about to approach the scene (from the back of shop/thru the park/towards the skate park)

Dream ended.

This one came as a surprise, as I haven't been doing any LD techniques these past couple of months.

I was in a public restroom. I thought I had ceased to exist, or something to that extent, so I looked in the mirror to see myself and instead I saw the reflection of a blonde girl I don't know. At first I was terrified because this was proof that I was no longer there, but then I remembered that in dreams one's reflection usually appears different. So, I wanted to wake myself up, but I couldn't, which made me worry the I wasn't dreaming. I ran out of the restroom...

I was naughty and didn't record some WILDs from last week. On my phone so just brief points:

The one where I tried he'll one last time. The devil was small and at the bottom of the tunnel. I grabbed at him but he was like air. He slipped away through a hole in the rocks, and I stuck my hand I. The he to get him. Something happened causing great pain in my hand, like electrocution, then I woke up.

Then the one where I figured out how to summon DCs! I just ti d a tall building which are usually around, then fly to a top floor window, and they're right there behind the window! I have to flap hard with my arms though because I apparently fly heavy. Anyways, I succeeded I getting with a cute blonde chic this way, but I woke up before sex. I DEILDed I to the same dream, found her again, woke up too soon again.

The one where I found a pretty brunette this time, using the fly to the window method. This time I succeeded in getting with her. I decided to watch the details this time. Won't go too specific. Anyway it was such a turn on that I woke up!

Long dream! I think that in all this dream may have gone for about 30 minutes. It's got me excited about the Great Pyramid Task of the Year again!

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #139: Kunoichi

I have a false awakening in some kind of luxury hotel suite, feeling frustrated that I failed to have a lucid dream. All of the lights are on, and a digital clock on the kitchen counter tells me that it's 4:45 AM. Okay, I still have a little time left to have a lucid dream.

Suddenly I realize that Wife isn't here and I panic. I have a false memory that she went out just as I was going to sleep and I start freaking out that something has happened to her. Two men walk into the suite from the adjoining balcony and I run at them, demanding that they tell me where she is. They look bemused by the intensity of my reaction and I wonder whether this could all be a dream. I try the nose pinch reality check and become lucid.

Ignoring these two random guys, I phase through a glass door out to the balcony. Rather than go leaping off, I float up a few feet first (just to be safe) before flying out into the early morning sky. I'm about 80 feet up, and I swoop down toward a park that I see below me, landing near a tree. I notice that the tree looks amusingly pixellated and I remember my goal of trying to maximize dream vividness. I focus on drawing out the detail of the tree, feeling its bark and studying its needles until it becomes extremely vivid.

I follow a dirt path toward a mall, scooping up a handful of reddish dirt and (for some reason) popping it into my mouth. (It tastes about like you'd expect.) At this point, there's a long segment of the dream where my memory gets a little hazy, but I recall that it was fairly long, involved me travelling through a shopping mall and flying around a bit between levels. I remember flying close by a harried-looking mom struggling to manage a pair of kids and a pair of shopping bags, a bright central area, and at one point a black guy in a purple dress shirt gives me a thumbs up when I fly by.

Finally I leave the mall through an emergency exit and emerge in an alley. A man slouches lazily against the wall and farther away a dark-haired teenage girl is sitting on a stack of shipping palettes. I look at each of them in turn and they immediately return my gaze. I'm struck by the subtlety in the way their faces move, blink, and shift so realistically.

As I'm deciding which way to go down this alley, I remember the Africa Task of the year (fix the Great Sphinx then ride her to the top of the Great Pyramid.) I decide that the Great Pyramid is just at the end of the alley, imagine it in detail, then turn around with the image still firmly in my end.

I'm shocked by how well this works. I walk out of the alley onto a windy landscape of sand dunes. In the distance I see an enormous version of the Great Pyramid dominating the horizon, probably four times larger than the real thing. Dark storm clouds roll violently above the Pyramid. At the top of the Pyramid, the wind is so strong that I see stones rolling off of the top and tumbling down the side.



I run over the dunes toward the Pyramid and as I get closer I see not just one Great Sphinx but probably a dozen of them scattered near the Pyramid's base. Some of them are in a horrible state of disrepair, but this doesn't worry me. If I can fix her nose, I can fix everything else too.

As I'm approaching the top of one dune, a pair of female ninja dressed in red appear and come racing toward me, each wielding a pair of sai. The first one leaps at me and I force-push her to the side so that she flies past me. The second I force-push directly forward and she flops onto her back on the dune. I walk past her and I watch over my shoulder as the two of them regroup for another attack. I hold out my hands toward them and jokingly say "Now kiss!" They glare at me like I'm a huge pervert and I feel a little embarrassed. (This is a nerdy reference to this meme.) One ninja gives the other a quick peck on the cheek and then they return to glaring at me.

I say something about how I was only joking and that I drank a lot of peppermint tea before bed, and as I'm going on and on explaining myself, the two ninja start making out. I realize that all my blah blah blah is only making things worse and I'm feeling sexy and distracted. I turn back toward the Pyramid but the landscape doesn't seem stable anymore. I wind up in the void.

I rub my hands together to stay locked in and start feeling the floor, trying to turn the ground back into sand so I can return to the Pyramid. I go at this for a good while. After roughly a full minute, the floor starts feeling like carpeting and I emerge in what looks like a dormitory. I walk out into a nearby hall and run into a college friend that I've lost touch with (and is notorious for being hard to reach.) I ask him how he's been and he gives me an email address (!) and promises to respond if I email him at that address. I make him repeat the promise (which amuses him) and bid him goodbye before phasing through a glass door to a second-floor walkway.

My father-in-law is standing nearby with a few elderly Asian men and women. I jump onto the railing and start pulling myself onto the awning when I feel hands grasping at my legs and shouts of "You'll hurt yourself!" and "Are you crazy?" They pull me back down to the balcony and my father-in-law starts explaining to the other DCs that I'm "special". I fly down the walkway to provide a visual aid and the DCs react by speaking in astonished Mandarin. I think about how amazingly realistic this Mandarin sounds but then think, oh yeah... of course it sounds realistic to me. It's what I think Mandarin sounds like.

I fly off of the walkway, landing in front of an entrance to the same mall I was at earlier. I decide to retrace my steps through the mall, and I pass through a store that sells little pet sweaters for tiny dogs. Little sweater-clad dogs roam everywhere. I exit the store and it isn't long before I have a false awakening back in the same dorm room, no longer lucid.

I walk outside to find that it's daylight out. NewArtemis and her husband are standing nearby. We say hey, not at all surprised to see one another. Art lays down on the sidewalk, still participating in the conversation but also trying to sleep by curling up with this big canvas bookbag she's holding. I tell Art and her husband about the dream I just had, mentioning that I went through a store "that sells sweaters for those little yappy dogs". Immediately a little white yappy dog comes crawling out of Art's book bag, dressed in a green sweater. "Seriously?" I say, feeling like a jerk. "I'm sorry." She laughs and says it's cool.

Art seems to kind of fall asleep and I talk with her husband for a while about dogs, telling him they did the right thing by not getting huge, crazy dogs like us. I look down and notice that Art's hair has changed and become really curly and sort of red. It seems weird to me but since her husband doesn't say anything, I figure this is normal. He and I talk about other random stuff for a while until the dream ends.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was something about some concert.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was busy with something and got distracted. Then as i am walking through my room i feel that i am dreaming, but dream fades out shortly.

Dream 3:

I was at home and it was time for a nap. As i was trying to nap, developer of some game and some interviewer decided to start recording an interview in my room. As they were recording it i was still trying to fall asleep, then various stuff started getting dumped onto bed, like some magazines and weapon parts. Wait a second...
I get up and look at my hands and they are kinda weird, yeah this is dream, i attempt to make my way to the window to fly out, but dream starts fading, i manage to keep it with my will for a few seconds but then it fades out entirely.

Almost got the advanced task again. I had become lucid earlier as I was being shot at a convenience store. The guy pulled a gun, I stripped it away from him using TK. He pulled another. I walked straight up to him and with obvious fury, commanded him to shoot me (I hate being shot more than anything else in my dreams). He did, it did nothing but hurt. He pissed himself, I shot him in the arm so he couldn't shoot anyone else and walked out.

Something was going on in the parking lot, people were divided into teams. I didn't want to participate and while thinking about what I wanted to do next, remembered the task of the month. I was going to hell. I found a little trailer at the edge of the lot, opened it up and saw a spiraling hole downward. It was a tight fit at first, until I remembered that it was supposed to be easier to get to hell and it opened up wider.

Once there, I met a small little demon who showed me around a bit. He took me along the safer routes. I specifically remember him saying that they didn't get many visitors, to which I responded that I had been there several times before. My recall of the details here are a bit fuzzy. I remember walking through a field of mushrooms that looked like severed human toes. I remember thinking that I shouldn't eat or drink anything from the underworld or else I would be trapped there. I also remember walking past several demons chained up but most were free roaming. I asked if we were going to get to see the devil, to which my guide responded "he's kind of a trouble maker, you don't really want to meet him." but then there he was around the corner.

He was very tall, at least 13 feet. His skin looked like glowing embers and he had two great horns. I ditched the guide and began to follow the devil along a path that was obviously not safe. It wasn't even a path, he just sort of went wherever he wanted. The devil didn't say anything but looked impressed as I walked over hot coals, through burning walls of fire, and even stepped directly on greater demons of fire who wrestled against their chains in protest. It wasn't until I stepped on a demon of ice that I showed any discomfort. At that point, the devil handed me a red hot brand which I could tap against my feet, the heat of which would linger while I walked through the ice.

We had walked for a ways before I remembered that there was something else I had to do... then my alarm went off. No beer.


Sakamoto Kyu, you keep interrupting my quality time with the devil. Grrrr. So close!

Okay so thanks to manuals and lurking here, last night I accomplished my first lucid dream!

At around 10:00 I went to bed and started my WILD attempt. I had heard it was better for beginners to use this technique.

Deep down I was always a bit skeptical about lucid dreaming. What if it didn't work? What if I just fell asleep?
But as I lay there the minutes went by and I started to notice the hypnagogia I'd bee reading so much about.

I tried to remain calm and let it take me away.

I was in the middle of a giant field. The sky was blue with light black wisps of cloud suspended in the air. Being in a dream, I thought, seemed like a more serene place to me. The cares of the physical world simply didn't apply. At this point, the excitement of being in a dream world took over me and I'm pretty sure what I was feeling was being lifted out of the dream! I remembered what I had read here: spin in circles and stabilize yourself. I did both and stomped my feet on the ground to feel the earth beneath my feet. Settled down, I noticed a gray barn house in the far end of the field. I walked toward it. I noticed a huge red balloon rise from the back of the barn and was - I admit - pretty scared. I watched as it rose and then eventually evaporated. I could feel the moisture fall on me from up in the sky. I looked again at the barn and it was now at the bottom of a steep hill. I jumped down it and landed at the front door. I knocked on the door and a man answered. He looked like a classic farm old guy with overalls, a pitchfork, and a straw hat. I asked him about the balloon and he told me to come in. He then sort of contorted and rose off the ground just a couple feet. So this crumpled old man rose a few feet off the ground and floated to the next room. I was fucking scared out of my mind, sitting on his couch holding a glass of water that I didn't even remember accepting. I went to the kitchen to look for him and he was gone.

At this point I suppose my brain had had enough with me for one night. I awoke and immediately recorded it.
Hope you liked it!

It's been quite a while since my last quality lucid dream... hmm... could I be back on track ?
Either way, I had an awesome (and pretty long!) lucid with GREAT control (I think I only failed on thing, and I didn't even try that much). I DEILDed a lot, yet my recall isn't that poor .

Lucidity: 9/10
Vivacity: 9/10
Control: 9/10

I Somehow get lucid for no reason and test reality, just to be sure. I am on a balcony (the same as in many of my balcony related dreams) and I look around a bit. I realized I haven't stabilized the dream yet and so take a second to do it. Feels great.
I somehow feel like I am having great control (maybe the fact that I put the "control disk" in my chest in a previous lucid makes me feel more comfortable?) and observe the scenery a little more - it looks the same as in real life. I look to my left and see a random guy on here. I run near him and dive over the security fence, and frontflip my way to the ground. I make sure I land on the balls of my feet (ya know, you gotta make a safe landing ) and roll on my shoulders. My brother is at my right, and though he seems impressed, he shakes his head and "pshh"es. Doesn't matter. I remember I wanted to practice my twists and try it out IRL but I don't feel like doing that right now; instead, I head towards a random glass (big enough for a window) and decide to go through it, remembering that the competition started days ago and that I'm not doing great. I start by touching the glass and slowly pass my body through it.
I decide to do some Telekinesis. I was going to do that but I remembered my three step tasks and though that it would be smarter to start it and teleport before doing telekinesis. I take a few steps back (3rd person view) and start spinning - I have only spinned at 180 degrees when I see myself instantly dissapear and appear a few meters away, finishing my spin with another 180. Nice. I try that again but this time I fail to teleport and instead end up falling on the ground, as I try to get up I can't help but feel the dream fade away a little to fast for me to react, and I am forced to DEILD.

DEILD

I am back where I left, and I quickly stabilize the dream. I walk to a parking lot and there I decide to do my second task : telekinesis. I try and make lots of random object levitate, then try to use airbending but it isn't that great. I make a car levitate, which got pretty easy with all the practice I got, but then I remember that the TK has to be massive. Would a single car do it ?
I lift my hands up and all the cars of the parking lot get around 4 meters up in the air. I remember that there is a limit to the amount of points you can get from a single dream, so I let the cars fall back down and decide to prepare for a hopefully successful DEILD. I close my eyes and see my face frown, before waking up.

DEILD

I'm at the exact same place I left, but there are way less cars this time and I and on my knees. I forget to stabilize the dream, too exited about all that successful forced DEILD.I walk around for a bit, trying to remember what my third task was. At one point I get to think that it was massive summoning (It was actually time control). I do the silly signs that I made up and while I put my hand to the ground in slow-mo, I see myself travel through space to end up touching the floor of the balcony I was in before. The summoning didn't work. Meh, I've already done 2/3 of the task anyways.
I take a few steps and randomly order "I want a storm", talking to my dream like it was a servant. The wind around me starts blowing really hard, and I randomly teleport to a plain in the middle of a forest.

"That's the power you should give me when I try airbending", I say.

The wind is stilll blowing, harder and harder, and a guy in a yellow water proof suit comes up to me and tells me that I had to look down in order to be able to breathe, because there was gonna be so much rain that I could drown in it. The rain comes, and like the guy said I can't breathe, and even when I get to the ground the dream keeps fading out and I am forced to DEILD.

DEILD

It's only when I'm back in the dream that I realize that DEILDing was a good thing. I'm still drowning, though. I quickly get up and spread my arms wide, and the wind and the rain dissapear.

[...]

I am back on the parking with a guy around. I try airbending, and notice that my subconscious listened to me during the storm. I send a burst of wind to a tree and miss by little to rip it off the ground. I play with that for a lot of time, sending bursts onto the cars, making them fly...
At one point I see a guy drinking a soda, it would be nice to try some water bending. I extend my hand to his can and quickly enough the drink gets out of the can, and I make it splash on the guy's face.
I feel the dream fading out, and I try to prepare for a DEILD but I fail it.

Dinner: included 3 eggs

Pre bed: 3mg mel

Total sleep time: 6 hrs, lots of insomnia

Early fragment: thinking about ld, this was one of these FA things where you remember a previous lucid then wake up and can't recall anything. Suspicious.

Fragment: I am in our first home and look at some expensive according to mom shoes that she has ordered from India for my aunt. Then she shows me a coat that she has bought. She tries the coat with a handbag and asks me if I like them. The handbag is very ugly and green.

Micro-ld: Near neighbor's entrance and I make place for some people to come in. There is a Japanese breed dog and it starts licking my palm, it licks and licks, I can't detach myself from it. When I finally do, it falls on the ground with a bound of sadness. I am thinking it got so much positive emotion out of licking, it now feels devastated. It tries to get to my hand again and I feel disgusted and want to wash. There are two-three girls, we are going up to wash, one of them is naked, but her breasts are not there, just weird nipples.

The dream skips forward and now we are in a large hall where people receive awards. The girl is part of four of the nominee teams, which are small island countries and Japan. A guy announces his name on the microphone. Then, I see a classmate of mine and wonder what the hell is she doing here. (She randomly appears in dreams). I decide to do a RC and stand up from my chair, saying RC and raising my hand to examine it in a very conspicious manner. My classmate looks at me and replies RC. This looks so nutty, I am fully convinced it's a dream. I can't recall much else, just that I decide to get out of there, but the dream fades and I am back in my bed. I lay still for a DEILD.

DEILD: I appear in an apartment at night in the shower cabin. In the dream I recall about me wanting to behave like this is real life and know that if I do that, it will stabilize the dream. Therefore, I do my best to pretend that this is real life, take a shower, examine the showerhead, carefully trying to simulate proximity to real life. I even use a towel to dry myself. I decide I want to visit my friend, but look in the mirror and see I am wearing only a short T-shirt. I certainly don't want to appear like this in front of him, if I think about my attire when meeting him, but decide it will change by itself as I go along. I have no clue where he lives irl, so decide to try to go to school and see if he is there.

Currently on the fourth- fifth floor, I hang on to the curtain and swing forwards, it elongates and transports me down perfectly. I am in our old neighborhood and need to walk to school although it's quite a risky idea. Slightly above the ground, I do the the curtain swing again, even though nothing is holding the curtain and I know that but don't care. It's pretty effective and I am going fast. I do my best to hold the image of the street as stable as possible. I pass quite a distance for a dream, curtain swinging at tree level, stepping on each tree as I end each swing. It is daytime now. :yumdumdoodledum:

At the end of the street, the trees and buildings begin to lose shape and become a white flowing background. I slow down a bit and the street is back again. I reach a small garden and notice a large war memorial that is not there irl, but the place still looks kind of familiar.

Then, as I move forward, I interrupt my concentration of holding the dream/images and think that CL flies a lot and that maybe that would have been a better option, since I am taking too much dream time. Yet, I reply to myself, that would involve imagining flying over the specific area I need to go and may actually be harder for me. These thoughts take just a moment, yet this is enough for my control over the scene to wane and the scene in front of me changes. It is a smooth change, but it is no longer where I am supposed to be going. I try to go back and change it to the specific location, by turning my back on it and checking it again. It changes again but now it's like a totally different city with an old castle up on the hill. I feel saddened I am not going to make it to my friend and take a turn to the left.

The street changes again and is now a familiar one from my hometown and it leads to school too. Among the crowd, I notice a very unpleasant person from rl and a pain in ass in non-lds. Her eyes look very lively and I feel her aggression. She also says something that's supposed to be irritating to me and I can hear her voice quite well, even though she is not that close. I don't pay attention to what exactly she says but can clearly smell trouble. I wonder how did she appear here among the crowd of DCs walking down the street, I didn't think about her. I begin to worry about her but turn my back, reminding myself that if you don't think about it, it doesn't exist. Yet, I can still feel her presence behind me. I speed up, now flying low above the ground. She is behind me and I feel an upcoming confrontation that I prefer to avoid, so I wake myself up.

I take brief notes and end up with insomnia.

Fragment: I am in a room and there are masks that one wears underwater, but they don't really exist irl. Bf and dream friends come in the room and we talk about something. The water has been running so I turn it off, then this girl looks at where all the water has been going, somewhere underground. There are huge fish there and also normal ones, they expect to be given food.

Fragment: something about bf's mom and food, there are poppy flowers nearby.

LD Fragment: This was a nice, average to long ld, but mostly remember the last part of it as I involuntarily fell back asleep.

I don't feel well, nasty pain, I stop and ask these DCs to tell me what is wrong with me. Something about their appearance strikes me as odd, so I become lucid. I think I ask them how to get better or something.

No memory what happens next, I have been doing stuff in this apartment, talking to DCs, free-styling.

I remember looking myself in a mirror and noticing that I look really nice. I like my dream make up very much and try to memorize it so that I put it the same way irl. I also have some thoughts about trying to manipulate my body in a certain way and see if there is an effect irl.

I go to another room and look at the cupboard, notice a beautiful china milk jug with blue decorations but feel mischievous, so decide to use TK to make it fall down. It falls on the floor and then gets on the the chair in front of me, broken in two. Now, I feel sad and want to repair it. I also think it will be a cool skill to repair things and even have a false memory of repairing something. I try to fit the pieces together and hold them, but it doesn't work. I hear a buzzing sound and me and DCs in the room see some sort of a wasp, maybe twice the normal size and completely brown and shiny. I decide it's time to get out of there and head for the window. There is a beige mosquito net on the window and I try to phase through it but meet some resistance. I remind myself that I can do it and push forward. The net stretches a bit and finally I pass through and fall/fly down.

This part was very pleasant but I don't recall all of it. Basically, I end up flying low over a yard that transforms to meadow with different wild flowers, mostly yellow ones, as the late September sun shines down on the meadow. Absolute beauty and I remain with the scene for as long as I can until the dream finally fades.

Fragment:I end up in another dream for a brief while, making profane gestures with hands.

Woke up happy, fell asleep again, had another short dream I can't recall. Then woke up very worried as I had forgotten the most of the last ld.

The LD(yey): [COLOR="#800080"]I sit in my bedroom's bed(the old bedroom I had) and I look around.I'm in the room with my mom,sister and dad.Looked like there were a lot of paintings and art things on a brown table[/COLOR] .[COLOR="#008080"]I suddenly realize I'm dreaming from no apparent reason.I tell my mom I'm dreaming but she starts to get embarrassed by it for some reason I don't know :|.I do some nose RCs but my mom keeps slapping my hand saying:Stop doing that! I try to hide from her and do the RCs.Laying in the bed I do the hand RC and I keep trying to count the fingers but had a hard time doing it.I stand up from the bed and do the hands RC again and realize I have 6 fingers on my left hand O_O(The dream suddenly got very vivid with some GOOD self awareness),Then I say to myself: Finally! I have a Lucid Dream! I do more RCs just to be sure(The nose RC that didn't worked).I close my eyes and try to spawn 2 persons.I realize I can't do that and tell myself that I must not waste my time doing that because I must have fun in the LD.I try to push my head through the window again while my mom is watching me and saying: What do you think you're doing?! I finally realize I can't do that and eventually open the window like a normal person and jump from it(I also done the push my finger through the hand RC because I simply couldn't believe it was a dream).I jumped on a tiny building with a green roof and when I landed on the roof I made a weird noise :/. I jumped then on the ground(made the same noise again)and saw a girl and I tried to scare her away apparently(With that noise and no idea why I wanted to do that) and she ran away.I laughed evily then see a black man and suddenly I wanted to be a vampire. I touch my canine and tell myself that it will grow or something.The left canine starts to grow and the right one couldn't grow because it fell.I give up on that and then a car comes and park in the front of my apartment complex. It's a black car with red lines and it had a tiny door.I said to them: Do you want me to enter in that car?The guy who drove left(there was another guy in there tho) and then I entered in the car and started to drive but I get too happy, I stand up and start screaming and things and the guy stands up too, he looks at me, I get a really really good and strange feeling and I suddenly felt some vibrations and then woke up.(Didn't knew if it surely was a dream but eventually thought that I was in the old bedroom and I was SURELY dreaming)[/COLOR]

Fragments from a dream : [COLOR="#800080"]I'm walking through the city and go somewhere I've never been before. I look around and there is a green bypath and around the bypath there is water with some grass and things.I walk on the bypath and then arrive in a place that looks AMAZING.There are 2 big fountains there.It was somewhere high because I could see the view with trees and all kind of awesome things.I keep walking and realize there are some nice white fences just so we don't fall from there(since it was a high place) I go up and there is the end of the grass.There is just a road with a car.I see an asian walking near the road,and then I say to myself: Wow,I never knew at the end of my city was this,I can't go further,It's too far away and I'm not ready for an adventure. I go back at the bypath and eventually jump in the water but I could hardly swim.I swim to the bypath.While on bypath,I see some people at the other side of it with some funny sporty things(I don't even know what they were) and I say to my friend that apparently appeared from nowhere that we should go there.She is in the water and she starts to drown and I yell for help and try to get her off the water.(I also remember at the end of the bypath there was snow)( I know that there is more of this dream,I just can't remember it)[/COLOR]
