lucid

First thing I remember, is suddenly becoming lucid out of no where. However, I didn't say aloud "I'm dreaming or I'm lucid", so I was unable to control anything. I was on a school bus in the pouring rain, and I was texting a class mate about a girl that I have not seen in a while. My uncle and cousin were waiting for me as I got off the bus. My friend and I are about to go on a plane, but we needed chocolate. I offered him the Milk Duds that I had in my pocket, but he refused. We arrive at a gas station which is based off a real life one, and go inside. In the gas stations, there are parrots, animals, and all sorts of things. My friend didn't have his drivers license, which he needed to buy the chocolate, so I bought it for him with my license. I saw my whole cousin's family one the plane we were on, and then the dream ended.

Dream 1

I was with my driving instructor and he was showing me the skills he had learnt across his time of driving. There was a series of very thin bridges, no way wide enough to fit a whole car across. But he begins to drive across all of them perfectly, no wobbles or anything. We then got out the car and he was showing me his YouTube channel. I had a flick through it his most popular video had 1.3m views. However the others had less than 1.5k views each. The videos were mainly tutorials on how to fix cars.

Dream 2

I had just been to Kendrick Lamars concert with a load of people from school. We were at the train station now and we were buying our tickets to get home. It was half 11 and I went up to the information desk to find out when the next train was that goes back to tile hill. The next train wasn't till half 7 the next day. One person looked gutted and said his "mum was going to kill him." Everyone else found it funny, we decided we may as well sleep at the station. I only had £10 so I bought myself a portable charge which cost me 50p but the 4 battery's I bought for it cost me £4!

Dream 3

I was at the bus stop outside my local shop. There must of been 50 of us. Then by the shops I notice a gang get out of the car. They were all wearing black and white bandannas and I noticed one of them was The Game. The group I was with starts chanting at this gang 'LA LA LA FUCKING FAAAGGGSS", the gang noticed us and started running at us. I turned round and started sprinting as fast as I could, my friend shouts at me "RYAN, TAKE THE SHORTCUT" I turned left down this road which no one else was running down. I was running towards this alleyway then I realised it was a dream! I still needed to escape so I took off and started flying!

As I'm in now flying my friend looks at me in the air and is so confused how I was flying he carried on running. I lose a bit of recall here. But then after that I spot the gang, they look different now, I fly around them 20ft above them shouting down at them. I can't remember what I was shouting. Then I swooped down like Batman and took on this gang in a fight. The vision switched to 3rd person and it was like I was playing Batman: Arkham City as I beat up this gang. I flew off and found a tall building. I perched myself on one of the ledges and took in the view as the sun was setting and nighttime was beginning. The city looked very very nice indeed. I felt my lucidity going and I thought 'I must prepare myself fore A DEILD when I awake.'

Dream 4

I'm lying in bed with my eyes closed trying to do this DEILD. It was just not working. I kept moving. So I get up and start telling my brother about my lucid dream, I explain it to him as I was sitting in bed. I get up and walk over to my window continuing my story. As I'm telling him my story, I'm looking out the window and the house opposite moves sideways at least 25 metres! "WHAT?!" I shout. I realise it must be a dream and I do a reality check, I could breathe. I was dreaming! 2 times in one night! I ran downstairs in excitement, this random person parks their car up and walk in my house. I just allowed them to come in. I see my friend on his moped outside, he wasn't driving just sitting on it. So I fly straight through my window and land directly next to him.

He didn't question how I could fly he just accepted it. "Alex! This is a dream give me a backie on your ped and go as fast as you can!" I hop on and he begins to drive, slowly. He shouts to me over the noise of the engine "It only goes at 45!" Unhappy I jump off and notice a huge big superbike on someones driveway. I run up to it, someone had left it running, I jumped on it and started trying to turn the bike round to ride. Alex shouts "Hurry up I just seen the woman calling the police!" That didn't bother me, I turned the bike round and started riding it. It was super fast, I was almost immediately doing 100mph when I looked at the dashboard. I hear Alex shout to me "Woah, that things got a second cylinder!" I looked at the dials on the bike, on the left side the dial was turned up to 7. So I turned the right side up to 7 as well. This gave me a huge boost and I was roaring through the streets. I had an idea, why don't I stand on the bike while its going this fast and start flying. So I took the bike onto this big field, I belt it across the field and I stand on top of it. I prepare myself, then jump. However I didn't fly, I just splatted face first into the ground and this woke me up.

I notice I have woken into an FA again. I could feel my real body in bed as well, I was focusing on opening my dream eyes properly however it forced my real eyes open and I woke up!

I could not recall anything when my alarm woke me at 3:30AM. I felt alert like I had slept really well. I only stayed up for about 15 min and tried for MILD. I didn't have a recent dream to build on so I started visualizing an OBE. I forgot some of the NLDs because I didn't take DJ notes. I wanted to stay focused on MILD. I also include some mantras.

I woke to a FA. Tonya from work was in my house making noise and keeping me from sleeping. I tried laying on the couch but she turned the T.V. way up. I had to turn it off to keep my wife and son from waking up. I tried to get on the laptop at the kitchen table but April, the engineer that retired a long time ago, showed up and told me I had to leave. They were about to have an important meeting and I was not allowed to be there. I wonder into the kitchen and see Tonya doing dishes. I can smell something cooking in the oven. It smells like French Fries. She has a huge pile of suds in the sink and a glass of soapy water in one hand. She looks at me and deliberately pours water into the floor. I get pissed at her and she says it was just a prank. I told her that I didn't care if she was just joking with me. She went too far! I storm off into the bedroom to try to get back to sleep so I could maybe get lucid still. When I walk into the bedroom there is a huge screen above my bed with a French Fry commercial stuck on repeat. The fries look odd but delicious. I notice my wife going into the bathroom from the corner of my eye but I am transfixed by the screen. I wake up.

I recall the dream and try to change it at a point where I could have become lucid.The entire dream was so odd that I have trouble deciding where to start. I am too drowsy and do a poor job of MILD.

I have another FA but this time my kitchen is huge and open and looks like the upstairs area I've been working at my job. I can still smell the Fries and I see a tray of them out to cool.At some point here I do a quick nose plug but it fails. A part of me remembers the last dream and I tell myself, "The next time I am dreaming this I will know that I am dreaming." (Waking world habit bleeding in here! This is actually very encouraging even if I didn't get it.) My introspection is broken by my boss. She franticly tells me to clock into training and get some books out read over some process procedures until I get some work to do. "Just look busy!" I hurry to do what I was told. I wake up.

I fell like an idiot after recalling the dream. I notice It's getting light outside and I feel worried that I am not going to get lucid this time. I resolve my determination and switch to WILD

#195 - 6:39AM - WILD

This may have not been a true WILD but at some point I notice vibrations and it gets my attention.I think, Oh thank God! This is it! Even if this dream doesn't work out I still got this far! I feel my heart pounding with excitement and I take some time to calm myself. I then try to transition but lately it just seems so difficult to do my normal thing. I try spinning but it's slow and sluggish. I stop trying with the physical sensations and begin visualizing. I think of myself walking in the void with my hand in front of me. I focus on seeing my hands and soon I see a dim and blurry pair of hands in front of me. I have doubts this is really working and it feels super fake but I tell myself, "Just believe it and it will happen." I really put confidence into my abilities and soon I am in a version of my house.

I don't know if I just forgot what happened here or if I temporary lost lucidity but there is a huge memory gap that I just cannot remember.

I am walking past some dark alcove and I remember that I wanted to have a Skyrim dream (I've been playing a lot of Skyrim lately) I decide to get ballsy and head into the darkness to phase teleport. I put my head down and close my eyes running straight into the dark part of the wall. I feel soft resistance and then dark nothingness.

I focus on all the visuals I got from playing the game yesterday. I want to be in an open mountainous countryside. I begin walking and I can hear the crunch of my boots with each step. Soon, after much effort, I begin to see it but everything looks like an oil painting and lacks real depth or openness. The colors are dim and dull with little detail. I stop and focus on the ground and things got a little better but not much. I literally am stuck in a painting! I continue moving and try to open the "world" up and give it more life. I feel like I am making progress but suddenly I feel a strong urge to pee.

This puts me back in my bed and I panic a little thinking I need to wake up to pee. I try to move but SP has me locked in. I feel real bladder pain now and worry I might pee the bed. I know I can hold my breath to wake up but I really don't want to do that when I am so locked in like this. I laugh to myself and decide I should just try to hold it and dream a little longer.

I decide to spin and visualize. I enjoy the feeling of spinning at high speed with no motion sickness or centripetal forces for and moment while trying to "see". In a few seconds I am standing next to my bed. Everything is vivid clear and bright. I am shocked how clean this dream looks and I realize that this would be easy to believe as a real awakening. I step into the bathroom and see myself in the mirror. To be sure I do a nose plug while watching myself. I blow through but it's not clean. It's like my sinuses are clogged up a little. Oooh that must be why I failed in the other dream! I blow again slowly and deliberately until I am satisfied. Now, I study myself in the mirror and realize I am wearing wire frame glasses. I smile at this and wonder. I assume it's because I have been wearing reading glasses at work. I take them off but my vision get way too blurry so I put them back on. Better to look like dork then not be able to see. I study my face in the mirror and realize how wide this mirror is. It's huge! I am further amazed how clear and normal my face looks. I keep thinking how long this dream has been and I worry that I'm going to forget some of it. I try not to worry about it.

I don't want to spend to much time here so I decide to enter the mirror. I put my head in but it's solid. I remember to think about it differently and reach in with my left arm. The glass turns into quick silver and I reach back and pull my head in. My vision turns blurry and I feel like I am trying to see underwater. I really don't want to have to form a new scene again so I back out. My vision is back and I wonder into the joining bedroom. Again there is another huge mirror on the wall. The rest of the room is empty. I see those stupid glasses on me and decide I don't need them after all. I take them off and toss them to the floor. I watch as the glasses fall in slow motion and dissolve away. My vision is fine and I guess a part of me remembers the naked task. I notice I am wearing some khaki green sleeveless shirt and my gray gym shorts I wear as PJs. I get curious what I would look like in the mirror so I start my taking my shirt off. Maintain visuals. I carefully take my shirt of and keep it way from my head so that my vision is not completely obstructed. When I look into the mirror again I am wearing a black sleeveless shirt. I laugh and this time I rip my shirt down the front. I look pretty normal shirtless so I pull down my shorts and look at myself. I grab my junk and shake it laughing. At that moment Wurlman and another guy walks in laughing at me. Wurlman says something like, "Oh my God dude. What are you doing?" He laughs at me hysterically. I'm not embarrassed because I know it's a dream. I just say, "If my wife could see me right now she would be all like... Oh my God you're so sexy". I laugh. Suddenly I wake up. And guess what? I didn't have to pee after all.


I found this article while searching for a title to this dream. Not only is it great for waking life but it really fits with the mindset of this dream and lucid dreaming in general.

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/...il-you-make-it

Hello hello DV it's been awhile. But I shit you not this time, I solemnly swear I'm returning for good. I've had a recent want to lucid dream again. Last night I was successful for the first time in months. I've have LDs on and off in recent months but this was the first premeditated one. So I have to put 100+ in my LD count cause I've lost track...or I'll put 1 since return...but anyway, on with my dream...

From what I remember I start off in school. It's the first day(I fucking hate school dreams over summer vacation...) and as usual in dreams, the school looks very different. Some parts are as they are IRL but the rest is distorted. I'm on my way to 10th period(might've been 9th) and I stop and have a miny heart attack(not a literal one) when I remember something. I've been following my previous year schedule, not my current year one!!! I decide this is no time to worry, and get moving to my next real class. I move down the hallway and begin investigating for room 248 for Forensic Science(IRL its room 148, and I don't have it 10th). I see my friend Rachel who passes by with some friends and says hi. I return a greeting and continue walking. I am hopelessly lost, so I decide to obtain the help of other people. Several people direct me the right way, and I begin my journey to class. On the way there, this girl named Paege who I know IRL stops me. She asks me a question I can't recall, and I answer yes. She asks another, so I decide to play a game. I say you have to pay up for an answer. So she pulls out a handful of coins and slaps them into my hand. Surprised, I answer the question. Then she pins me to the wall in almost a sexual way, but I vag-block her and say I need to get to class. I then proceed to the proper room, oddly marked "2048" instead of "248." I enter the room and see how large the room is. It's almost like an entire building.
"Wow, this room is large," I remark. I enter the room, which is filled with books on books and computers. I then see there's a door to an outside area, and I go outside. Outside there's a whole other residential house and my classmates. I see my friends Trevor and Jason. Trevor is engaged in a conversation with some girls, so I leave him alone and go over to Jason. We greet and sit together. Our teacher now comes out, my Independent Living teacher last year. I'm confused that she is my teacher, but I go with it. So she now proceeds to take us inside her house to her living room(NOTE: I've never actually been to her house IRL). She turns on her TV and a Playstation 3. I'm pleasantly happy, as it appears we will be playing PS3 rather than having class. She puts The Last of Us and boots the game up. I notice she's still very early into the story and point that out(I think the dream made up a fake story for the game). These larger douchy kids make a smart ass remark to my comment. I suddenly lose interest and proceed outside. I notice my teacher has a pool, so a bunch of us jump in, including the douchebags. As we swim, the water turns reddish-green for some reason. The douches blame me for it, so I step out and disprove them. It's actually their obese friend. I have no clue why the water turned, but he did it. Pissed off, the kid came over and punched me three times in the arm. I simply brushed off the pain and walked away. The teacher had moved the TV outside and was playing The Last of Us as I walked by. The douchebags were still swimming and I really had to use the bathroom. So I went inside to the toilet and commenced. A girl came in now and saw me, but didn't seem to care that my Johnson was out. I didn't seem to care either. She walked past me with zero fucks given and walked through the wall of the bathroom. I raised an eyebrow, thinking of how out of place that was. So I decide to do a reality check. I try to remember everything I've done up to when I "woke up" this morning. I can't remember anything before school and I become lucid. I zip my pants up and decide to try another RC to be sure. I look at my right hand, and its normal. I flip it over to look at the palm, and it becomes distorted. I have six fingers, and two of them are stubs. I freak out and whip my hand around. I leave the bathroom and it appears a wild animal is running rampant. It grabs another wild animal and rapes it(literally). Disturbed I choose to ignore the animal and begin to walk away. Some girl I don't know stops me for help and then I have a false awakening. I attempt to FA-DEILD(False awakening DIELD) not knowing I'm still dreaming. I see a lot of strange images in my head as I attempt it and I then wake up.

A lucid from Thursday night, not so interesting, but yeah.

Lucidity: 8/10
Control: ?
Vivacity: 9/10

There was a meeting at my next school, where everybody came. I got lucid when everybody just walked away and disappeared. I run around the school for a loooooot of time until I finally see someone. I decide to do something funny and I say nonsense for awhile. Then I grab her boobs and run away doings all kinds of flips. Then I see another girl but before I can do anything a big guy laughes and says "haha nope". So I prepare for a fight, but he doesn't do anything. I just begin running again until I wake up, a long time later.

color code:
Gray = Comments
Black = Non-Lucid
Bold = non lucid dream cues
Italics = dream thoughts
Red = Lucid

#1 I forgot most of this one. Something about some occult trying to stop my wedding to my wife. I have to fight back. I think they look like The Dark Brotherhood from Skyrim. I destroy some strange structure and some how I know that doing so killed my parents.

#2 I am walking in a park. A woman that looks like the non-cartoon version of Asian Reporter Thrisha Takanawa puts a mic in my face and asks me some questions. I tell her I don't speak Chinese. (Takanawa sounds Japanese to me) Someone tells me to just fake it. I say random nonsense stuff and they all act like I am saying something really great. (I think this is inspired by the family episode we watch before bed were Louis becomes Mayor) I see my face on a T.V. screen but it's not the news it's AFV. Apparently I didn't something stupid but funny. Something about "Cat Litter Surprise". Then they use my face to add on animations for other clips. I keep popping in saying "MONEY" in a comical German Hitler like voice. Everyone thinks it's so funny and acts like I am some kind of famous comedian.

I wake and try to MILD but I drift off into another dream

#3 Lisa from work is sitting at a table on a large deck outside.. my house? It feels awkward because I wonder if she is mad at me. She is talking to some other woman that looks like Michelle. I see bird poop on the deck and wish I had a hose to wash it off. Suddenly water starts to jet from in-between my toes on my right foot. I awkwardly wash the deck of. Lisa say's something polite to me and I respond then continue to wash the deck. I even give the grass a little water.I think, It's probably going to rain soon.

I wake up just before my WBTB alarm at 5AM. I get for a while and use MILD with mantra

#194 - 7:08AM - MILD

I am walking around some theme park with my wife that I think of as Six Flags. I think we must have ridden a few rides together. We pause looking for more stuff to do but it seems like there just aren't very many rides. She stops at some glass container full of something like Children's Miracle Network pledge cards. She is taking a bunch of pictures of random stuff then turns a takes an up close pictures of some woman and her infant. I begin to think of this a something like Disney World or Universal Studio's. I get a sense of urgency and want to make the most of our time since we probably will never come back. I become annoyed that she is wasting so much time and I gripe at her a little. She agrees and we turn and walk away now.
She seems sad and says, "Sorry you're not having any fun."
"No, it's not that.(lie) It's that we don't have much time left you are taking pictures of people's random babies." (I worded that funny in the dream. LOL.)
We look around and I feel really disappointed with this place. There just isn't much to do here. Then, I see some strange ride taking off on tracks.
My wife sees it too and says, "Ooohh nope nope nope!" and runs away. I wonder what is so bad about that ride as I chase after. We exit some glass doors and I got the feeling like the park was inside. There seems to be more stuff to do outside.

The sun is bright and I look around. There seems to be something like a park with trees and perfectly manicured lawn to the right. It looks like some people are gathering with chairs to watch a show in the shade. I see my father-in-law walking around like he works here. I notice he is wearing something like a tan Leprechaun suit complete with top hat. I find this really odd because he never wears suits and is a very large Native American. I think we should at least say hi to him before we move on but my wife is walking really fast and getting too far ahead of me. I feel torn whether or not I should follow her or talk to him. Then I see that suit again and notice he is doing something really odd. He's rubbing is hands together but has hay in-between. All this is too much and I ask myself, Am I dreaming? I think for a second, *gasp* I AM dreaming! I feel like I am about to wake up but I try to ignore it best I can.

I run over to my wife and take both of her hands. I look her close in the face and note how shifty and wavy it is but I ignore it. "Babe! We are dreaming! This is a dream!"
She doesn't say anything but she pulls away and gives me one of her you're-crazy-go-away looks. I sigh and let it go. I know there won't be any convincing her after that look. I pace in a circle rubbing my hands, thinking what my goals were. I can't seem to remember so I decide to just explore. I look out and see a small parking lot and a familiar looking street street and some building beyond. There is a red vehicle parked that looks like ours. I wonder if I am going to walk, run, drive or fly. But I really want my wife to come along so I say to her,"Well, I'm going to go do some stuff now. Are you coming?" I turn to look at her and take her hand but I wake up.

I breathed in my nose and realized I was dreaming. I got up out of my bed and walked downstairs. The house layout was completely different. I looked outside and there were huge hills. It reminded me of Ireland or somewhere like that.

I tried to shoot up into the air and fly, but I got distracted and couldn't. I walked out into ther room and there was tons of girls. I walked outside and there were a shit ton of cars for rival gangs. I jacked a car.

I drove around for a bit and then drove back. I went back to my room and a girl came in and asked me to look at her profile for modeling and acting. I then woke up.

Note: This was my first lucid since I've been practicing and there was a giant leap in quality. The dream was more like a movie than a crappy set of pictures. It was quite vivid, but I still didn't really have my full senses, awareness, or any of that stuff. It was also sort of awkward and jumpy and very short.

Lucid Dream 522: Bar King
Series: Land of Dreams, Episode 15
DILD
Technique: FA



I can remember pretty much nothing prior to having a FA (false awakening). I awoke in a strange apartment that I didn't recognize. I thought to myself, "Where the f*** am I?" It only took a couple more moments for me to recognize that this situation wasn't right. I couldn't remember how I got there, so I performed a nose pinch RC. As expected, I was actually dreaming.

I turned toward the nearby sliding glass door and attempted to melt through it. I was successful, but there was another layer of glass in front of me. I melted through it and there was, again, another layer of glass in front of me. I thought, "Oh c'mon now!" I had to phase/melt through 3 more layers of glass before finally making it outside on the balcony. I noticed glass was slowly forming in front of me again so I thought, "Ok, I've got to get the hell out of here." I took flight and quickly flew away from that house.

I decided to try and have an "Attack on Titan" dream. I flew into a town and a building caught my eye. I landed in front of it and entered. It was a bar. I walked up to the counter and said, "Give me a bottle of your finest dream vodka." She looked skeptical and said, "The whole bottle?" I gave her a, "I'm not going to ask twice" look and she handed me a bottle of gold flakes vodka. It was glowing a brilliant gold color. She held out her hand as if to take money and I said, "I own this place. I'm the master of dreams." She was taken aback and began apologizing saying she didn't know. I just ignored her and walked back to a table.

I started chugging the the bottle and I then slammed it on the ground. It shattered. The DCs looked at me strangely. It seemed they weren't sure what to do, so I shouted, "Its ok. If you want to slam your glasses on the ground, go ahead." Everyone looked timid and nervous. One guy held up a mug and, with much hesitation, let it slip out of his fingers. It fell to the ground and smashed. I cheered, "There you go! Its fun isn't it?" I grabbed a nearby mug and slammed it on the ground. The DCs all cheered and everyone started slamming bottles and mugs all over the bar. I forgot to mention, I felt the effects of the alcohol immediately after chugging the bottle.

After my glass breaking party, I walked outside and was in a fairly primitive town. I knew I was where I wanted to be. I walked up to the nearest DC and asked, "What is the fastest way to wall Maria?" The DC pointed and I took off flying in that direction. I got excited upon seeing the wall and the dream began to fade. I landed on top of the wall and immediately prepared to DEILD.

Lucid Dream 523: Titan Slayer
Series: Meiseki na Yume, Episode 5
DEILD



I smoothly transitioned back into the dream. I could tell I was now outside the walls. I was on a large, square, wooden platform in the middle of a thick forest. I could tell the trees were tall, but they only reached to the same level as my platform. I looked out into the sea of green treetops. A patch of trees to my right began shaking violently. Suddenly, battle music began playing in the background and I knew what was about to happen. A huge titan emerged from the shaking trees. It was about 20 feet taller than the treetops and the platform. I held out my arms as if I was holding two blades like the ones from AoT (Attack on Titan - A currently airing anime that is awesome. The japanese name is Shingeki no Kyojin). The blades didn't appear, but I acted like I was holding them anyway. The Titian swung its arm in an attempt to grab me. Its arms were abnormally long and stretchy. I performed a dive-roll over the arm and siced the Titans arm with my invisible blades. Its cut a bloody gash into his arm. I dodged a few more attacks and the blades were now visible and solid in my hands. I dodged an attack and then leapt behind the Titans head. I sliced through the Titan's weak spot (back of the neck) with both of my blades. It let out a monstrous groan and fell to the ground, disappearing in the sea of trees.

Suddenly, Titans began popping up all around and I cut them down one after another. The dream went into a 3rd person view as I continued to battle Titans. I noticed that I also had now become a Titan, but I was still the same height as a normal human. I was just jacked like a body builder and had the face of the Armored Titan (from the show). The dream switched in and out of third and first person as I fought a fat Titan that just wouldn't die. I finally managed to kill him and no more Titans came. I decided to head back inside the walls. I could see the wall off in the distance as I began to wake up. Again, I prepared to DEILD.

Note: This dream was sometimes animated like the show, but also was fully 3D/real world graphics at times.

Lucid Dream 524: Time to Alter Time
Series: Land of Dreams, Episode 16
DEILD



I transitioned smoothly and was back within the inner walls of the city. I decided to just explore the area. It was night time, but there were many lights and neon lights scattered throughout the city, so it was very lit up. I made my way to a boardwalk with many shops and buildings. None of the buildings here had doors and the boardwalk traveled through many of them. It was like a big, open, outdoor mall. There were people partying and setting off fireworks all around.

I entered one of the shops and saw a fortune teller-like woman seated on a fancy blanket. I had remembered something I wanted to try, just moments before. I asked the lady, "Where can I find the time dilation machine?" She pointed to a nearby door, so I proceeded through the door. I was now in a bathroom. There was an ancient metal computer-like device on the wall. It looked like a mix between a breaker box and an old apple computer. I attempted to type in 3 hours. The numbers were not being cooperative. I repeatedly typed up a jumbled mess until it finally showed "3 Hours." Of course, there were some jumbled characters on each side of the "3 Hours," but I didn't pay them any mind, I clicked the "start" button and exited the bathroom.

I went back to exploring. There were so many random shops and objects scattered across the huge boardwalk that I couldn't remember everything. There were canoe shops, fishing shops, clothing stores, fireworks venders, beach balls randomly bouncing around, tumble weed, balloons, stuffed animals, etc. There was way more shit, but that is all I remember (had wrote down). There were also open houses along the boardwalk. The boardwalk was like a huge, winding, pier on a huge lake. Anyway, I entered one of the houses and there was a pool. There was a hot, naked chick sitting on the side of the pool. There was a long line of men in front of her waiting their turn to have sex with her. I watch for a moment and pondered cutting the line and having a go. I fought off the temptation and went back to exploring.

I saw some speed boats and jet skis out on the lake, so I took off flying after them. I began chasing the speed boats around through the air, playing freeze tag with them. I was skimming the top of the water as I flew. I was "it" and soon "froze" all of the speed boats and jet skis. When I touched them, they literally froze in time. After winning the game of freeze tag, I landed back on the boardwalk. I walked into another house and there was a party going on. I saw a huge kite and attempted to fly while riding on it. I kept crashing into piles of random objects/toys/gear/etc. I could get the kite elevated, but it was out of control and crashed moments later. Always crashing into random piles of things. The dream soon began fading, so I, once again, prepared to DEILD.

Note, the dream only lasted about 30-45 mins (dream time) after I typed in 3 hours, so it didn't exactly work out .

Lucid Dream 525: Jet Gunner
Series: The Mind of a Gamer, Episode 7
DEILD



This DEILD transition took longer than usual. I got some HI of the moon and space. I could hear "My Song" playing on my computer as I transitioned into the dream (the song from the anime, Angel Beats!). I had left my iTunes up as I had been sleeping this whole time.

Anyway, I transitioned into the dream. I was in a fighter jet and was going through a video game-like stage. I couldn't control the speed or the jets direction of travel. I could strafe left and right with great maneuverability. I controlled the jet's guns with my mind. The environment went from realistic to PS3-like game graphics. I pummeled enemy jets as they approached from the background. It felt a lot like I was playing StarFox in a more realistic setting and great graphics. After a bit of this, the dream began to fade and I allowed myself to wake up in order to not forget too much of the previous dreams.

Series Details
With the dream series, "Mind of a Gamer," the gaming world and the dreaming world collide to produce a lucid paradise. Read as I take video game scenarios to the next level. Stay tuned for more entries to the series!

Dreamscape 2
I wake up in bed and roll over. I am not in my own bed. Something soft and furry is curled up beside me. I reach over and pet it. It responds with a, "Pika!" and a purr. I sit up in the bed and look around. I am back in the bedroom of Dreamscape. I see the black cat sitting on a chair not far from the bed. I get up out of bed and almost trip on the Buddha statue that is sitting on the floor. I curse myself silently for forgetting it. I see there is a journal on the floor near the statue. The cat on the chair meows. I go over to the cat and pet it. The cat begins to purr. There is a knock on the door to the room. I go over to the door and ask who's there. For a minute there is no answer… and then finally someone says that he is my neighbor coming for a visit. I think he is probably a Templar. I don't really want to let a Templar inside my Dreamscape. There is another knock at the door. It is getting a bit more impatient. I think about it for a bit longer, thinking there was some reason I wanted to let them in but I am not able to remember why I would do that. They are pounding on the door now. I finally decide to follow my instinct. I open the door and get out of the way. Two Templars practically tumble into the room. They turn around and look at me. One of them looks around the room and asks if this is where I have been hiding the artifacts. I ask them what they want here. One of them looks back over at me. Before anyone can answer, however, I see another person enter through the door which I had not bothered closing. I look over at the new arrival and recognize him as Alex Mercer from the Prototype game.

I do a double take at that… Great… now my Dreamscape is infested with Templars and a viral shape-shifter. One of the Templars asks Alex who he is. The other one says he has a proposal for me, one he hopes I will not refuse. The Templar talking to Alex tells Alex to get lost, this is not his concern, and pushes him towards the door. I tell the Templar that he really doesn't want to piss Alex off. He asks what Alex is going to do about it? Fight him? Huh? Wanna fight? He says he'll kick Alex's ass right out the… He is interrupted when Alex grabs him and quite quickly consumes him. The Templar talking to me has continued talking, but I have not been listening. He stops now and stares at Alex, saying, "What the fuck?!" He takes a couple steps away from Alex, but he doesn't move quickly enough to avoid getting grabbed by Alex. All he gets out is, "Oh, shit…" before he, too, is consumed. Alex is just standing there looking at me, and all that comes to mind to say is that was truly disgusting as I look at the bloody mess on the floor of my Dreamscape bedroom. I go over to the door and look out, calling out to ask if anyone else wants to come on in. No? Good. I close the door. I turn around to find I'm looking directly at Alex… and he is holding the black cat. I do a double take at that and then head towards the other side of the room. Alex says something about Abstergo being associated with Gentek… I comment a Templar by any other name is still a fucking Templar. I look around and see the door that leads to the hallway on the Dreamscape website.

I go through that door and see it leads to a long hallway that has no doors on either side. I head down the hall, Alex follows me. The black cat jumps from his arms and runs down the hall at top speed. I wonder if the cat is leading me somewhere. I think that if he is, he needs to slow down a bit. I hurry faster to follow the cat. Alex stays right with me. I glance over at him, wondering what he is after, but then I wake up.

Yay, i think i did a ToTM!I'm in my house, playing minecraft. I get bored quickly, so i go out, grabbing a random DS and Wii (i don't have those) and i drop them. The DS doesn't have a scratch, but the wii breaks. As my usual rush of logic kicks in, i think "WTF? My Wii is heavier, so it shouldn't have been broken.... I might be dreaming... I'll check later". I drop the DS down my LONG staircase, and it still doesn't break. I go get it and while i return i think"Ok, that's 3 signs im dreaming, if i find another one i'll check". So out i go seeking another sign, into some kitchen like place i don't have, until i (drum roll.... wait for it!) think "Oh f**k this lets check now."I RC and it works. (again, drum roll...) My mom appears. I inmediatly try kicking her, but she is the invincible one and she said "Sorry for what i did that dream, but i wanted decorations put up in my room". Thinking my subconsious was crazy at this point, i agreed only for practicing summoning. After about a min, she's happy and punches me, while saying she won't do "that" again (from the other entry).I go out and find a mirror. I tried avoiding it, but i saw inside it and found myself without any distortion whatsoever. I wake up around here.

Dream recall from today's nap, had a bit of problem falling asleep for some reason(maybe it was too hot).

I was loking around from the balcony, then somebody called me from the streets and i went there, almost instantly i was down there and we were talking about something while pigeons were wandering around. Then i went back and was instantly back at the balcony. Then it faded out.
I wake up with closed eyes, attempt to DEILD, but don't really works, i get up and i have sensation that i am dreaming, then i wake up again with same sensation. I get up from the bed and dream shortly destabilizes, i fall and for a split second i see weird kinda egyptian eye-like symbol in black and white, then i somehow fall and dream stabilizes, but in a second i wake up.

1. [Lucid?]
I seem to remember becoming aware and suddenly got really excited then woke up. I did not perform any reality checks that I remember, I keep seeing a hand but I think that was from a previous dream.

I was feeling sad my recall sucked all night so I really focused after the snooze.

I found myself having see with my wife. We almost flipped into an impossible position. There was brief darkness a vertigo. Then we actually do flip. I thought," This feels very dream like"
But before I really think it through we are now walking together on a long wooden deck outside.

I look back at the bed and see its red with some creepy boy sitting on it messing with a hand held device. I note part of my house has no walls but think nothing of it.

I follow my wife into the shed. She bends over to pick something up and I put her pants down to continue. At some point there is a dual image of me having see with her and humping some random plastic tote. I can hear her and feel really confused. I begin to question things when the alarm goes off.

I snooze again and find myself mountain biking with my parents. (lol ya right) I want follow a trail to a hidden park but dad is convinced it's the other way. I follow and when we get there I am proven right. There some yard and abandoned farm equipment.

We go back but it's dark now and I have some red flashing light on my bike. The are some people with some sort of ATV ahead and their lights blind me. I try to shield my eyes but it doesn't help. My bike fades away and I begin running. I enjoy the ease of it.

Now I am back at the start the next morning. I freak out that I left my bike. Dad's says it's not there but I have to at least look. I run and see that I am on some boat dock. There are life preservers and fish nets lying around. The water looks a little on the brownish green side. The alarm wakes me.

LUCID

*I looked in the medicine draw in my kitchen, there was a conditioner bootle in there and this caused me to become lucid. There was also a picture of my teacher lama dorjee. I put the picture down and look to my left, there was a picture of padmasambhava just like the one I have on my shrine. As I looked it because for real as if he himself entered that very picture. For some reason after I put the pictures above my head and let them float off like a ballon.

*I became lucid while standing in front of this office building. The wind of was blowing and weather was perfect. I just kind of stood there for a minute enjoying the wind scooping the place out. I thought now it's time to fly. I took off but everything soon faded.

This one had some positive points, as well as some facepalms. But I'm starting to understand some stuff better about my LDing self.

So I WILDed pretty much like I did yesterday morning. Woke up at 5,7,9,10 for various reasons. Went to the bathroom and got water a couple times. I finally rolled over at some point and felt the vibrations.

I opened my eyes slowly and recognized right away that I was in an alternate bedroom. It's been hot lately so I didn't fall back to sleep with covers on, so I started the dream without and bedding issues. I opened the door to the bedroom, which led to a hallway in a hotel. These rooms were on the 1st floor apparently, because the hall eventually opened into the hotel lobby, which also resembled a huge mall. A hotel-mall, do they have those yet? Seems like a fun idea

Anyway, on the left was one of those make-up selling counters, with beautiful women who try to squirt you with perfume or offer a makeover as you walk by. I saw a really pretty blonde one that I though to go for first, but she rushed off with a customer and I lost her. I came upon a nice looking asian-american woman, who clearly paid alot of attention to her makeup. She had shoulder-length perfectly straight, shiny black hair, and meticulous eye make-up and frosty pink lipstick. I asked her if she wanted to go out with me, but she was reluctant. I'm still female doh! I guess some part of me thinks that if I act like a guy, the DCs will see me as one. Oh well, she had one of those circular swivel mirrors, so I looked into it.

I looked like I did in college but with a bob style hair cut. So I started hard at myself, willing for change. My hair darkened and shortened to shiny black, and the shape of my eyes became a thin almond shape, resembling someone who was part asian. Then my jaw got more square. I looked semi cute, like I could have been on Karate Kid II haha.

Anyway, I took the lady's hand and said, "Come on." She still kinda didn't want to. I just pulled her down the lobby by her hand anyway, and she didn't struggle. I pushed her against the window of one of the stores, but I accidentally did it a little too hard, and she bonked the back of her head on the glass a little. This was going so bad lol. I looked at her apologetically, and took her face in my hands. I kissed her gently a few times, then I remember to ask her for her name. She said something like "Hatika." I whispered her name to her a few times, in between kisses. I was just trying to make the effort to remember her name after I woke up, but I guess she liked it, because then she started really getting into it. Breathlessly she whispered to me, "I want you ______." She referred to me as some name but I forgot it.

That did it for me. Across from the store we were making out in front of, was a little spanish-style restaurant. The only light in there was from little votive candles on each table. But the center of the restaurant was completely dark, since no light reached it. I marched her straight to the carpet in the middle of the restaurant floor, threw her down on her back. In about 10 seconds, I managed to scoot our pants down just far enough, get 4 thrusts in, and I was done! I woke up immediately after.

So..

I'm still a dickhead. 2 one-night stands in as many days, and I still don't know their names. I'm glad I remembered to ask for her name this time, even if I forgot it. And I'm happy I can find hot chicks to make out with me, and that I can transform pretty easy. I think part of my problem though, is, well, the restraint for one. But I also think I'm kinda settling, since I'm not finding the precise chick that I want. I mean, right now, I feel like it shouldn't matter which chick it is, because it's all part of an experiment. But IN the dream, I'm more emotional I guess, so I want exactly what I want, and I want it now. So I need to figure out a way to combat this, or work with it.
