lucid

As far back as I can remember, my friend and I were at a camp ground, carrying huge axes. I believe we were waiting to play hide and go seek. After I have a false awakening, I am at the bottom of this hill. I suddenly become lucid, and I yell out "I'm Dreaming!" I clearly remember hearing like my name or a bell ring in my mind when I became lucid. Everything started to turn kinda clearer, but it was still kinda blurry. I became calm, and yelled increase lucidity. Everything got clearer, and then I grounded myself in the dream, by rubbing, licking, and smelling my hands. My friend quickly told me that we were about to miss the bus. I told him to jump on, and we started flying towards the bus. We made it there, and on the bus, I decided I wanted to teleport somewhere. I imagined transporting to this place, and suddenly this very strange interface came up. It had little monsters on my screen, and then I pointed to a place on the map. I then went there. I appeared at this apartment building, and I started walking in. Now, everything started getting blurry and I tried to get it back to normal. Everything got clear again, but then I woke up.

The first thing I remember is being in a small park located in a city that looked vaguely reminiscent of New York. For some reason I am fighting off this blonde haired woman who is attempting to assassinate me for reasons unbeknownst to me. However, in the middle of out scuffle I realize that this entire entire experience is just a dream. I quickly calm myself from the initial adrenaline rush and begin rubbing my hands together to both stabilize and increase the vividness of the dream. It works a little bit, but not as much as I would have liked it too.

After a bit more stabilization, I want to find my bearings when I see a door off to my right. I decide to enter it because I am intrigued as to where it might take me. I pass through the door and now find myself in a house that looks like a mish-mash of both my current living quarters and my previous home that I lived in as a child. I could tell it was sunset here, unlike the previous setting which was midday, and the sky was a very deep shade of orange. Deeper and more vibrant than any sunsets I have seen in real life.

I slowly began exploring the house I noticed it had no artificial light sources of it's own, meaning the only available light came from the sun's rays shining through the house's windows. This made for a very strange, though beautiful lighting effect. I continued exploring the house when I came upon a hall way. I became curious to see how sensitive my sense of touch was in this dream, so I began dragging my hand across the wall as I walked down the hallway. The wall felt almost exactly like it would in real life, my sense of touch was extremely accurate. I finished testing my sense of touch for the moment as I came upon a room at the end of the hall way. It looked like my parent's room from my current house, however it was backwards from it actually was. The lighting in this room was also beautiful as the room had one large window that let the orange sunlight pour into the room.

I admired the room for a little bit then decided to explore more of the house. After exploring some more I stumbled upon a room that looked my kitchen from a house I lived in many years ago. However, all of the chairs and tables were missing one or two of their left legs which made them lean over or tilt to the left. After observing the area for awhile I realized the dream was fading. I began rubbing my hands together to stabilize the dream and it worked. However, scared I would lose the dream I didn't actually stop rubbing my hands together after the stabilization was complete. I began exploring again when suddenly I felt something sticky between my hands. I stated investigating my hands but I didn't find anything that might have caused this sticky sensation.

I decided to not to investigate the matter any more thoroughly and instead decided to continue my exploration. I began wandering around for awhile until I came upon the exit to the house. I decided to take my leave from the house and stepped outside onto a balcony/porch of sorts. The roof of this porch was very low lying (just a few inches taller than me) and there was a small wooden railing surrounding the balcony to prevent any accidental falls. As I looked around I saw the beautiful sunset in the distance off to my left and a baseball field directly in front of me, just a few yards away.

There were 2 dream characters playing on the field and a crowd of people watching them. I jumped over the railing and approached the field to get a better look. After spectating the players for awhile I wanted to explore the dream world further. However, the my path was blocked by the baseball field and I didn't want to take the chance of across the field and getting hit in the head by a baseball. So I decided instead to walk around the baseball field, however, by the time I reached the first base I woke up.

So, in the dream, I actually started out lucid and with a full understanding that I was dreaming. I remember fighting for control to stay in the realization, even screaming at the other dream AI that this was all a dream. I was in a comic book store trying to do what I usually do in lucid dreams; Basically play Battlefield 4 in a dreamscape environment. However, this time when I tried to control the dream, I couldn't do it and was suddenly being carried out of the store and to what looked like a classroom by two girls.

In the classroom, the teacher told me that I had been asleep for about 4 hours so far (Which actually wasn't true.) and I told him that I was having problems controlling my dreams. He told me that if I eat a piece of cheese before I go to bed, I could control my dreams better.

I responded by closing my eyes and trying to concentrate on the dream I wanted to have, and when I closed my eyes I actually saw darkness. When I opened my eyes I was still in the same room only everyone else was running away and one of the dream AI's said that he saw the kind of dreams I had and was laughing.

I then got really freaked out and tried really hard to force myself to wake up and actually did wake up.

Often i dream of giant waves coming towards me in different scenarios and i am always frightened, afraid i will die this way, but miraculously I always seem to end up unharmed and looking back on the scene of destruction the wave left in its wake. Sometimes i get swept up in the wave and it carries me to a safe place up high, and sometimes i am able to move out of the way altogether before it crashes. Usually these dreams occur on a beach.

However a few nights ago i dreamt that i was taking a friend to look at a new house she was wanting to move into and it was disappointing for her as it was quite dilapidated. When we left the house we parted ways and i drove back home in my new car, and on the drive i encountered rapidly rising waters and i could see a giant wave coming my way. Upon feeling the usual fear i experience I decided to make my car rise above the waters and ride the wave, which not only eliminated the fear but made me feel safer and somewhat exhilarated! the dream ended here and i woke up feeling great!

Legend: Dream , Semi-Lucid , Lucid

Candy:
I find myself in a room full of candy, I went around inspecting it. Then i sat down and ate some. However, i looked over and noticed a black man sitting in a chair. I instantly thought "Oops, this guy must think i'm either stupid or a thief that isn't aware at all". I talk to the guy and i find out he's part of a group that films porn videos and that he thinks my presence in this room must mean i want to join. I thought " Oh geez, no i don't want to join". But the guy like forces me to get up and follow him to the club room.

However, there i find a group of some friends i don't normally talk to. The expressions on their face were like "what the hell is he doing here?" And i'm thinking in my head "calm down! i can explain, i promise!". But i soon find out that they actually don't film porn at all and it's actually a casual group that meets occasional, but still, i don't want any part of it. The group sits down in some chairs and starts chatting and etc.

There's some room behind me and some glass windows behind the free space, i looked over there and i see two mechs fighting inside the room, one mech is completely dominated by the other but before i can see who piloted the winning mech. I see a van with C.C ( from code geass) in it. I instantly jump up and run outside to see what she's up to, she's apparently talking on skype and fixing pizzas in ovens inside the van.

I went back inside and looked back at the place where the mechs fought, i saw the lady who piloted it, but then this other lady caught my gaze, she gave me a freaking terribly angry look and i just smiled and slowly ran out of the building xD.

Samurai fight:
My friend is on some bridge fighting a samurai with a katana. He's my friend but in this dream ,he plays the role of my brother. Eventually, my brother wins and he gets experience points for beating him.

Lucid #9:
I remember becoming lucid in my living room. I think it had something to do with one of my dream characters talking about it. Either way, the DC walks out into my garage, but as i follow him , i remember to root myself in the dream and gain some awareness so i look at my hands and one hand has 4 fingers, great, but the other has 5 fingers. I wake up as i attempt to grab a pot of soup but i sort of fail to grab it because i'm not used to using a hand with 5 fingers and a thumb.

Governors mansion and the arcade:
Me and my dad are some mansion that apparently the governor owns. We stop and look around and as we do, my sister comes up and she brings the governor with her, she's dating him. I decide i didn't want to sit there and hang with them, so i went down to where my friend works and we go to some arcade. Everything is overpriced though so i walk over to a pit with a lot of food in it and press a button which lights the whole pit on fire and starts cooking all the food. I eventually stop it and grab a piece of bread, i then start shaping it into coins so i can play games for free hehe. But it takes too long so i just eat it.

Lawn Mower:
I bought a lawn mower and i'm driving my dads truck but my truck is in the middle of the road and my lawn mower is sitting out on the side. I decide i should move the truck first so i do and as i come back to pick up the mower, some one has stolen it, great D:

I will often, for my amusement, approach my LD's with a couple of different personas that put me in different places regarding my environment and my interaction with the characters. Inspired by KingYoshi and (in a way) a TV Show I've been watching recently (The Tudors) I decided to make myself the King of my dream world.

19/06/2013 - DILD

I was in my kitchen with my mom talking about something I don't recall and I did a RC for no apparent reason, counting my fingers mindfully looking at my hands I had half fingers "This can't be, is this really a dream?", I RC'ed a couple more times, somehow I was having a hard time accepting I was dreaming, I don't know why but my guess is because it was an habit RC and not a surge of awareness or questioning of reality.

Eventually I accepted the most welcomed fact, went to my backyard and jumped to the top of a big green wall which is sort of not there (iwl). I decided to stabilize and enhance the dream so I started looking for visual detail around me, the dream was already vivid so I'm not sure if this really added to it but where before I didn't have sun at all now I was still standing in the shadow but the sun illuminated an area directly in front of me.

I remembered my current goal at the time, to have the queen of my dreamverse present herself to me (such bs).

I let out a passionate and euphoric shout into the air "Your king is back! May the queen of my dream world please step foward!" As I was finishing that sentence I expected to hear cheers from a crowd all around me while some sort of competition was to take place and, I think I closed my eyes somewhere in the sentence (or the scenario turned 180º with black in between).

The crowd did make a lot of noise (mainly females) and suddenly I was sitting in the central top row of a place like this:



The biggest contrasts with the image is that there was nothing in the field (but a big central screen hanging from above) and, it was a smaller arena. In the screen I saw the image of a martial artist girl wearing a kimono and throwing a big kick in the air. When she appeared I also heard a male voice announce "The first contestant is a judoka from Japan (bla bla bla)". So they are going to fight, sweet. I immediately just stretched my arm to the side and was expecting to manifest someone bringing me some popcorn to snack while I watch some of the action before acting myself, when... my alarm went off and I obviously woke up.

01/07/2013 - DILD (DF)

My memory is very fuzzy regarding the details of this piece of fun because I didn't record it immediately due to the nasty back pains that have been bothering me from dawn to dusk for a couple of days. It just got way better today.

I was in some busy street and it occurred me to do a reality check and I was lucid. I remember aimlessly but nicely spending some time jumping from place to place in the scenario before deciding to have a go at some fine Miss in the middle of the street. I can't exactly remember how she looked like but I know she was very fine, then... I saw some other one I liked and got her on top of a small structure in a central place. We made out and all the action was very good sensually, very vivid and also felt quite dirty in the middle of a dream busy street.

While we were having fun, just to our side, down in the ground was Bruna (a middle school classmate I had who was fairly attractive but I didn't care much for her most of time, wonder why she was there) talking to another person, so I thought "hey why not?". She aged normally btw.

So I was going to pick her up when I realized she was not only talking but making out with a girl that was just my type. Dark black hair, snow white skin, glasses and beautifully shaped curves. I thought it might as well be more exciting to steal the lady away from Bruna. I come down to pick her up and as I do she wraps her legs around my waist and we go up there and have some really good fun.

Somewhere between all this playing with the ladies I remember trying and enhancing the dream which certainly happened, this was nothing but intense.

I also had some interesting non-SP HH chat but this is way too long already. Certainly more to come, see you next time.

Today I had 2 LDs. Started with a DILD and a dog biting my hand while I was trying to stabilize so I woke up. Went back to sleep and did a WILD practically right away. I flew up a bit and my awareness changed so I knew I was lucid. I tried opening my eyes or something and I woke up and fell asleep again.

This is sweet as I haven't had a LD for a long time, or 2 LDs in 1 night for that matter. Took me from 06/13/2013 to 07/01/2013. Which is pretty dang good for me.

Okay. I want to share this dream. I had it approximately in. May 2011. In this dream I actually have birth - the first & only time I dreampt this. I remembered the dream SO well! I submitted it to another DA site who never responded, but I hour an initial email back saying they received my submission. I kept that email, that contained a copy of my dream submission, all this time. Here goes: (mind you, this was 2 yrs ago)
Ok. I had a dream that I was in labor. I dont recall anybody specifically being present while in labor except for nameless hospital staff. But there was an old woman in the bed with me. I was side lying and she was like, spooning me, in an effort to help with the labor/delivery. It was definitely an awkward feeling for me, but it didnt seem grossly inappropriate for her to be there. I dont know who thiswoman was. I delivered a boy and i was soooo happy. I said, " I finally have a Christopher!" I was trying to figure how i could put my grandfathers name, Harvey, somewhere in there. See, my grandfather has 21 great-grandchildren, but passed before he could even see the first one. after a while, i felt pressure "down there" and i thought i had to "go", but it was another child - a girl! (Mind you, the old womans still there)She was smaller than the boy, but both were healthy. The best adjective i can use for the way i felt was bewildered. But i accepted the situation and was just as happy. I accepted both as mine, but not that they were twins. I was trying to figure out how i got "with child and delivered so soon after giving birth to the boy". I know in the real world it would be obvious, but this was a dream. I did eventually accept that I had had twins. I sent a mobile pic to my sister and she said, " now that's best news i've heard for a while". I also could not figure out what to name the girl.The old woman just kind of disapeared out of the dream after i had the girl. Never knew her name, never saw her face, she really never said a word. On a personal note, I have 7 children; 4 boys, 3 girls. No twins, no miscarriages and my tubes are tied. What stands out to me in this dream was how happy I was.

Associations

Being in labor, although painful, was always a time of great expectation for me. Excited. I was blessed to have had good labors/deliveries with all of my children. There was noone in the dream except the old lady and my sister. I dont know who the old lady was. I am black and for some reason I know the old woman was black. While i have a great respect for all elders, it runs deep for older african-american women. I love the wisdom that they have to offer. The spooning was really uncomfortable for me. I am a modest person and there was no room between our bodies, but for some reason i knew her being there was somehow beneficial. Somehow i also know she had on a blue dress. I like blue, but green is my favorite color. I have a very natural, easy connection with my boys. Which is why i was so ecstatic when the boy was born. I love my girls, who are 12, 9 & 5 however, girls are a little more complicated and i've had to learn how to relate to them. My sister.....im the oldest, she's the 2nd oldest. She comes off like a bear, but i know her better than anyone, and she's very sensitive and craves attention/approval. i'm very protective of her. I also have to let her know when she's going too far left (as she often does) yet in a passive way because that's my nature and that's the way i have to handle things with her.(she's a scorpio, im a taurus and things have the potential to get uuuuugly) She still doesnt realize that she's not as fierce as she thinks she is. We are close. I forgot to mention my step-father who my mother divorced 21 yrs ago, but he was the only dad i knew for 10 years. We had an awful relationship, i could not stand him. But now that im older i understand things a little better, and realize he did the best HE could do. He had a small part in the dream. I went to him to find out how i could have had the girl sooo soon after the boy, when i was still in denial that i'd actually had twins. There was nothing significant about the hospital room i was in, no bad vibes, no good vibes. I was comfortable though. The name Christopher is just a name i always wanted to name one of my boys, but never got to. It's also a male version of my name, Christiana. My grandfather died when i was 16. I'm a nurse and have seen alot of arthritis but he had the WORST ARTHRITIS that i've ever seen. But he was never idle. He traveled, drove hisself to church. He was a good man, but i think like made him a little bitter. His temper could be explosive, this was only every blue moon and he was never abusive. We didnt have a close relationship, but I knew he loved me. When i think of him, i feel kind of sad. I kind of feel life dealt him a bad hand. He was very intelligent and wanted to go to college. But his step-mother wouldnt let him stay home rent free while he went to school. He couldnt afford that and pay for school so he joined the Army. He served in at least 2 wars, including 2 tours in vietnam. They believed it was the agent orange that caused the arthritis. My grandmother was not the most loving, understanding person.....very hard to live with if you ask me. And on and on, but he never felt sorry for himself. His perseverence stands out to me. i'm indifferent to the idea of twins......

About You

im a black female, 38 yrs old. married for 13 yrs., 7 children aged: 20, 18, 14, 13, 12, 9, 5. I am a true taurus. Most ppl would say that im quiet. I've also heard that i'm a sweet person. Some adjectives that have been used to describe me: weird, unique, different, withdrawn, sweet, insightful, fair . Some have told me that i'm very intelligent, while others have outright told me that i was slow...go figure. Oh, and stubborn....that's a constant. I dont see myself as "sweet", but I know that i have more compassion than the average person. I think i'm of average intelligence and I am slow to understand, but it's my determination to understand and do well that makes others think that I'm "smart". I am insightful, I've always looked deeper. I dont understand shallow thinkers.....why think at all??? I am definitely fair, nothing I hate more than an unbalanced scale. I am not stubborn. I LOVE beautiful things, be it people, clothing, home decor, sunsets, jewelry, mountain ranges, trees, pictures. I LOVE comfort, I LOVE my kids. Much of my interest lies in my spiritual growth. I like to learn about medical advances, different medical conditions, medical discoveries. Things about the universe, any information about the cosmos. And history, especially black history, mainly because you don't get very good information in school. Right now i'm trying to balance working, raising respectful children with standards and a marriage. I could always do better, but things are okay. Some times I feel as though things are balancing on a cliff and could just fall through at any time. I have realized that I no longer know how to loosen up and have fun, but I think staying afloat financially and raising these children, among other things, are too crucial of issues to "loosen" up. My dream is to have a business of my own, dont know what kind. Been looking at a cleaning business or personal care home. I want this because I could schedule my work around my family needs and make good money doing it. I know I can do it, but at the same time I'm lacking confidence in myself (if that makes any sense) & in how well the business might do-- as well as start up money.

This is my first time posting, but I had a Lucid Dream only one time and what i remember was nothing short of weird.
I was reading a Stephen King book before i went to sleep, and it was getting pretty gruesome. I decide its late and begin to fall asleep. Now i remember my dreams often as I have kept a dream journal. Yet just as i was starting to dream I realized i was dreaming. This made me open up my eyes and what i saw threw me off. I saw the room i was staying but it looked different, and as i was looking around I kept thinking "WOW i did it im Lucid". Yet as i looked about the room I saw the room as if my eyes were made of glass and had cracks through them with no point of origin. I then got excited and stayed in my bed and was trying to think about something to do. My mind immediately went to the gruesome death i just read about. "No! i thought and tried to think of the next thing, which was Zombies at the time. Before i could think of something else I felt this groggy sound behind me and then i hear almost breathing but choking. I knew I could feel a zombie right behind me just waiting for me to turn around. So instead of turning around i closed my eyes even harder and desperately tried to think of this girl i really liked.
Then i woke up completely and turned around to see no zombie, i believe i scared myself awake.
Ever since this has happened i haven't been able to LD again, but i do have vived dreams and i'm starting to do reality checks all the time.
Was wondering if anyone had any helpful tips to become Lucid again and what i should do for a real awesome experience.

I was sitting here, bored and drowsy, so I decided to try doing an FILD. I lied down and started slightly flexing my index & middle fingers like you're supposed to. Not long after, I felt sorta weightless. It felt as though I or the bed were spinning in space. I tried a few RCs by trying to breathe through my nose whilst I pinched it shut. I was awake each time, but I'm sure I was on the verge of an LD. I even tried calling out my crush's name to see if she would appear. It all felt very strange.

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!

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

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.

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.
