Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #101: Choke

I'm sitting in a car with Dad at a place that's a cross between Sonic and a Chinese take-out restaurant. We're pulled up next to one of those mic/speaker combos where you place your order and I'm debating whether to order sweet & sour chicken or just get a giant bucket of tater tots. (I don't actually eat like this. )

A guy who looks like Mako Iwamatsu sticks his head out of the main restaurant building and shouts something about "three orders of sweet & sour chicken". I get out of the car and approach to hear him better. Then Mako makes some remark about our order and something about dreaming. It's semi-amusing, so I chuckle politely and look up at the night sky. The stars look artificially bright and the moon has been replaced by a flying saucer! "This is a dream," I say, and immediately start walking.



I leave the restaurant parking lot, moving through an alley that dead-ends at an open door into a house. I go inside, exploring the house for a bit. It's nicely decorated and very realistic. I'm pleased with how vivid it looks -- classy carpeting, great lighting, really tasteful decor. I wonder why I suck so bad at decorating IWL if I can imagine scenes like this. It occurs to me that no matter how many LDs I have, part of me always thinks They can't really look that good, right? But they can and they do.

I'm a bit lost in the house and as I turn down one hallway, I suddenly find myself in a noisy European street scene. It feels like Germany. The fast transition surprises me and before I can think to speak gibberish to these DCs for Task of the Month, I round another corner and wind up back in the house again. Well that was weird.

For some reason this reminds me of my intent to get to the Alamo and meet up with Art. I decide getting outside will be the best way open up the map and get where I want. The closest internal wall of the house is brick (oddly enough), and without hesitating, I phase through it. There's nothing on the other side of the wall, though, and I wind up in the void.

Rubbing my hands together, I continue walking through the void. I imagine that I'm walking along a street outside. I can feel the roadway underneath my feet (which feel like they're in nothing but socks.) I keep walking forward, waiting for the new scene to form. After a while, I see a pattern of squareish lights that coalesces into the window of my darkened childhood bedroom. I leave immediately, phasing through the window into the street.

It's late at night and I'm outside on the street where I grew up. I try to figure out which way San Antonio (and the Alamo) would be from here... and totally get it wrong. When I look out at the horizon, I see a huge observation tower surrounded by some scaffolding, like it's under construction. Was there some kind of tower in San Antonio? (Yes, it turns out -- the Tower of the Americas.)



I start to zoom-teleport to the tower but the moment I begin to move, I swallow my gum. Swallow my what?? Did I go to bed chewing gum? I try to remember, worrying that it's now lodged in my throat IWL and that I'm about to be in big trouble. I freak out and the scene goes black. I manage to calm myself at the last minute but the dream is too far gone and quickly ends.

Morning of June 6, 2013. Thursday.



In my dream, we are back living in Brisbane. Our house is different and does not have higher steps, the inside being much like our real place there, but the front porch area being most like the King Street boarding house with the upstairs apartments. Our son Lorenzo is playing with three younger blonde girls, racing around inside and out, who are happily going in and out of our house while being yelled at by a slightly older girl not to be in our house. They are dressed very formally with fancy hairstyles, as if for a formal event for the very wealthy.

I soon notice that something dramatic is going on next-door; there are a lot of people, for some reason, standing on top of wobbly old wooden step-ladders, watching the action as if at some sort of baseball game at the park. The house next door is on fire, but I do not see any actual flames or smoke. It seems that a Christmas tree had somehow caught fire in their attic. The people with the hose (no firemen around, but a couple policemen in black wandering around not doing anything) are aiming the water up and directly through the small attic window from a fair distance away. I hear a young couple crying loudly and holding their hands together, but there does not seem to be anything to really cry about, as I see no actual damage anywhere at all.

It seems strange that all these people are just standing up on ladders and balancing on the fence just to look at that house when nothing is really visible, even the supposed fire. I call out sort of absentmindedly to the nearest man standing atop a step-ladder, “Oh, I didn’t even know about this…”, but most of these people seem more amused or entertained than having concern for the owners or tenants, even though it also seems they were there to help at first.

I become semi-lucid and notice something strange regarding perspective. Their house, on the side nearest to our house, seems to go past my line of sight towards and behind me - to seemingly take up the same space (from my viewpoint near the corner of our house) as our house would otherwise be, an “impossible” perspective, yet somehow at the same time, it also seems to be a completely empty region or undefined area where neither house is.

This last part with the ladders relates to typical waking metaphors. Someone on a ladder relates to getting closer to waking consciousness, a fire relates to growing conscious awareness, and something going through a window implies leaving the dream state. The water though, indicates a subtle desire to become lucid (though goes through the window instead, similar to the “water getting lower over time” waking metaphor).

Dream recall from today's naps. Got lucid but again nearly no waking memory, also greatest false awakening chain so far.

There was something about a game that was mix of Doom and Unreal Tournament 2004, there was a map with some Doom items and one hard to get Megasphere, some AI like announcer was describing map and was telling that there are secret ways to get score, i assumed that Megasphere was one of them.
Then i wake up and look at hands, they are normal(Well, that was random), i get up and then family enters the room and there's some talk.
Suddenly i wake up again, and i have feeling that i am dreaming, it's hard to move so i manage to summon some kind of creature in a doorway, once i try to get up i...
Wake up again, i still feel the dream and trying to get up leads me...
Into another false awakening, i get random idea that keeping eyes closed will keep dream stable and i manage to finally get up, i open the eyes and see Chandelier, i am a bit surprised and then it multiplies number of lamps as usual, i say hi and...
Wake up again, i hear some weird sounds and feel the dream again, i look around and see some weird shadowy figure, i try to move and...
I wake up again... I quickly turn into same direction as previously and figure's still here, i decide to punch it, and as i punch it it turns into some dude that i haven't seen before, he tells me that we should read some book, i say why not and get up, but everything fades.
I wake up again, i get up and i feel the dream again, also gravity is weird, i decide to try levitating to keep the dream stable and it works(First time without wings i guess), it indeed does keeps dream, i hear TV in another room and decide to check, i levitate through corridor into another room(everything looked pretty similar to waking life), family's watching TV(that's where similarities to waking life ends, we don't have TV), i levitate around a bit and then look at TV, image on it is blurry but there's something red. Fade out.
And i wake up again and see that some female DC is searching something in the room. Then i wake up properly, confirming it by lots of RCs.

5:18am

So there I was at a counter at a bar, still trying to vote, and out of some reason I thought one could vote at a bar. I was looking in my purse either for my credit card to pay for the purchases at the bar or for my license as proof of identity so I could vote.

My husband was saying how this election was to show George Bush that he could not limit elections to just some voters. But while I was still rummaging through my purse, my husband left.

Suddenly I heard my mother on TV trying to tell about a dream she had had. She was much younger, like when I was a kid.

And then it clicked. I shouted "This is a dream!" And I started doing sumersaults in the air above the bar. Out of some reason though I kept closing my eyes, and the dream was fading. I managed to notice that my husband was not there, so I expected to find him right outside the door, and so I opened the door and there he was. "This is a dream!" I shouted. But then I woke up.


Memory of previous dream:

The rummaging in my purse for either my credit card or license reminded me of a dream earlier that night, where I had the hardest time finding my credit card in my purse in a store, but then I remembered, I had just bought chocolates in the store next door, and I had them in a small paper gift bag, so I looked inside, and they had put my credit card with the chocolates! The person at this place said that this is what the store next to them has a tendency of doing. As I was walking out, I noticed that she had named the store on the other side of hers, not the one I remembered shopping in, but in my dream I rationalized that the two stores on both sides must then be owned by same owner.

Seems to have been a quick transition into becoming lucid, only several days after finding this site, but thinking about it today maybe it is not a surprise and that this site has simply helped me reawaken what has already been there, I am starting to remember today that when I was much younger being lucid all the time, or at least on many occasions in the past trying to be lucid. Coming here and all the information available seems to have just throw a lot into place, anyway to the dreams.

First what I recall is being in this type of courtyard area, possibly on the steps of this old style church, but this outside area is actually like a place for practising doctors about to start work, for some reason they are starting around 10am as well which sort of made me feel comfortable (probably because I do not like getting up early), remember my own doctor being there and I was telling her how nice it must be to have this routine (I lack day to day routine). Now I am walking into a room of people who are waiting to see the doctors, unbeknownst to me I have scrambled through this crowd and accidentally bumped into several people who I have upset. This one girl is quite upset, crying and I go over to apologise, explaining it was an accident, that I had no idea what happened and then we are sitting holding hands, she is becoming more relaxed. I remember being a little self conscious that we were holding hands, like some people would see and snicker but I overcame this and became quite relaxed with it and with her. As I became more relaxed with her, holding hands, talking, we kind of made an intimate connection and the people around us became aware of this as if we would be a couple in 5 minutes. While this is happening I am taking more notice and interest in her sister who is sitting next to her who is more attractive, much more confident looking and who I was really desiring but sort of confined to accepting the girl who I am already attached to. Weird thing here is we are now talking and she is asking me about eating elephant meat, hinting at how good it is and that I should try some, I regress saying this is an endangered species but maybe it is ok to try, or for the local people of the area to use the meat from an elephant which has been recently poached. Then the girl seems to become emotionally aggressive, her face warps into this tight warped grey alien mess which leans into my own face, I feel a bit overwhelmed, fragment ends.

Now I am outside in the street in a nice business/commercial district, in front of a nice office building when I hear my RC meowing, an old companion who passed several years ago which makes me aware that I am dreaming. I find this very comforting and a lovely moment, I pick her up to say hello and have a pat for a while before moving up along the street. Now that I know I am dreaming I guess I do something very predictable and trying to fly but to no avail, I get up off the ground a couple of meters but meet too much resistance and come back to earth, guess it is something that will just take more time? Then I am back to walking along the street, run into this nice mother type figure, I am a bit nervous of this stranger but realise I am dreaming and that there is nothing to be nervous about, she is very accommodating, lovely and goes off to her car to leave where I see her two children, ask if they are hers, which they are and I mention how that is very nice. I continue on up the street and come to the end of the block where there is a pedestrian crossing with many people coming across and past me when I see three people who I use to go to school with, the always acting tough type, one I share a glance with who totally disregards me and another I end up brushing up against which turns into confrontation. Of course I am aware that I am dreaming still so this does not bother me, expecting to give this guy a major beat down but again am met with resistance, can not overcome him and fragment ends.

Now I am sitting at this table in this lovely high end home with three other people who are like of the highest importance in the MMA world, the only one I recognise is Dana White and we are all dining out on this beautiful meal, we are especially impressed with this lovely crisp roast turkey. Then I leave the room into another where there is like this kiddies table where less important people are sitting around eating, one who happens to be GSP (lol), I kind of feel slightly sorry for them. Now I am in another room sitting at this long thin table, like one at a school camp or something and across from me is Joe Rogan and I am asking him how he is getting on with his lucid dreaming, we seem to have a nice friend chat. Now the room turns into like a bedroom of like this 7 foot really athletic basketball guy, I realise this fantastic property is his and he is this incredibly athletic and skilled guy but he is depressed and upset because he is dying of cancer. Outside there is his mattress, propped up in the air, for some reason it is out there getting clean or to keep it perfectly clean, bacteria free, pure and unspoilt I guess but it starts raining. So several people then, including his wife are out there trying to cover it up to protect it but all his wife can manage to do is put this too small sheet over it which does very little and he is disgusted by this, thinks his wife is basically pathetic and useless. Now we are back in his bedroom and he is starting to pretty much lose it, like meth psychosis crazy, I see him running around and then grab some washing powder which he is eating/drinking which is making him more insane. Thankfully I am aware I am dreaming because when he stands in front of me, about to go at me I channel power through my hands to subdue him and bring him down.

I do recall another couple of dreams but I was not lucid in those, plus no way I can keep writing like this; think maybe I am overdoing the detail?

hi. I am 19 years old, and take anti-depressants teva-vaniafaxine xr 75mg and smoke weed. i tried lucid dreaming by listening to the videos on youtube 2 months ago. and the dream was like normal days. one day in my dream i had a scar on my arm and i don't have a scar in my real life. so i found that weird.

now about a month ago, my routine of my life was just like the dreams i had. i felt like i had a dejavu every second. but i couldn't remember everything because i didn't write anything down.

about a week ago, i got a scar on my arm........ i was walking in the woods and i happened. and i went to friends house. that was the dream i had in a 2months ago. not how i got the scar, but i was hanging out at my friends and i had a scar on my arm.

and i remember the dreams from now on. the thing is that one of my friend get busted by the cop for selling weed. i don't know if it is goanna happen for sure. or the future can be changed?

LUCID


*I became lucid while being down stairs on front of my apartments. The sun was shining and the quality was absolutely amazing! It had the quality of waking life or maybe better. I was so amazing that walked over to a bush pulled of a leaf and looked at it in amazement. Then I looked directly at my mind and asked my self where is my mind. I attempted to practice meditation.

*Then the scene changed. Someone showed me a flyer for a teaching. This had the words om nu hum. I thought thats wierd what does nu mean. It is usually om ah hum. Then I looked closely to see this indian man was the teacher of this teaching. Then the flyer started to shift while presenting different images, beautiful images. There was a beautiful goddess that appeared along with symbols and tormas. I thought if I could only remember and draw these things. It was amazing.

*I ended up in my apartment with the goal I had in mind. Next time I was lucid dreaming I wanted to practice the sky gazing dzogchen meditation. I stepped out on the patio and started to blend my mind with space. Then I vividness arose in the dream unlike anything I have ever experience. There was a tree next to me that blowed in the wind so beautifully. I thought this is it! Then I thought lets try tummo never tried that before. So sat down and practiced. The heat arose then I stopped.
I thought now I wanna practice consort yoga and did so having a incredible experience.

Have had a few short lucids the passed few nights. Nothing special with these, so I'll just be brief. Low quality and got woke up in most of them before they really took off. Just a mini-slump.

Lucid Dream 514 (DILD)

Don't remember much prior to becoming lucid. Become lucid for no particular reason. Took flight in search of something to do. Flew into some powerlines and started to doing some swinging/gymnastics on them. Was woken up shortly after by my roommates.

Lucid Dream 515 (DILD)
Was down at the studio with some friends watching Family Guy. Become lucid and convinced everyone that we were dreaming by telling them all to nose pinch RC. We then exited the studio and started performing some random vandalism. Was about to see how far I could toss a car when I was woken up by my roommates.

Lucid Dream 516 (DILD)
Had a pretty long dream where I was driving and listening to the radio most of the time. They kept playing anime OP and EDs and I was excited. They played the Shingeki no Kyojin OP and I remembered, "I gotta have a Shingeki no Kyojin themed lucid dream. BAM! Lucidity. I dove through the driver side window and took flight. I flew and searched for "Wall Maria" (from SnK). I saw it on the horizon. As I flew toward it, I was hit with a false awakening. Frustrated that my recent lucids have been getting interrupted, I didn't even notice it was a false awakening.

Lucid Fragment
I remember becoming lucid, but not much else. The dream was really fuzzy and unstable. I managed to stabilize it, but lost lucidity soon after doing this. Pretty sure the low quality of the dream caused my loss of lucidity. I remembered a bit more upon waking, but didn't bother to write anything down on this crappy fragment.

Well I think I found out the hard way that when you work out every day and don't eat enough... your body has a nasty way of telling you. I planned on using the new technique again last night, however instead of having vivid dreams that I became lucid in, I just had tons of scattered fragments that I didn't even bother recording. After that I even slept through my wake up alarm at 8:00 and slept until 9:30! Either way, I gotta eat a little more in the evenings I guess, cause just an apple for dinner isn't cutting it.

Anyways, here are the dreams from when I first tried the new technique...

#1 - I was in history class, and the teacher got up and reminded us all of the assignment that was due that day that we were supposed to do o ver the weekend. I had forgotten to do it obviously (since it's summer!) and I started reasoning with myself why was I even in school during summer vacation? I then rememebered the exact date and was like "I'm DREAMING"! Soon after that I got up and started walking around the classroom. I was focusing on just staying in the dream and not letting the rest of the class distract me and lose lucidity (like my DC's usually do). I then gave them all A's on thier papers cause I was in charge now that it was MY dream, and let them all go outside, away from me. Then after my victory I got woken up anyways by my mom cooking breakfast. -_-

#2 - As soon as I woke up though, I just went right back to sleep and re-entered the same dream. The room was a little different, but now there was a clock in there. I looked at this clock, and it was 8:00. I then looked away, and looked back for a reality check, and boom! 8:15 I then knew I was dreaming. Soon after another teacher entered and left a cell phone on a desk. I grabbed it and gave it back to her, saying she forgot it, but she just said it was her husband's and he wanted it left ther for some reason. Soon after though, I got woken up again by some sound from the kitchen.

#3 - I re-entered the dream and then looked at this same clock again. It worked like a charm, and I became lucid again. At this point I decided ti was tome to work on dream goals. I went and sat in the corner and focused. However, I got woken up again. Grr...

#4 - I was then in my room. I remember walking out the door and seeing the box for my Genesis. The box art kept changing and I knew I was dreaming. After this I went to the back porch to get outside and work on my dream goals. Woke up again though from breakfast being made.

#5 - Finally though, I re-entered this dream and was now standing on the back porch at my house. I remember watching all these cars going by, just like normal life. It was so life-like I wasn't sure if I was actually dreaming, but it was re-affirmed when some random person on a bicycle came by, tipped over, then just randomly kinda floated back upright and continued on. This strange occurrence assured me I was dreaming, and I wouldn't look like a fool trying to spin in circles and change the dream scene. However, I apparently don't have much experience changing the dream scene, as it didn't work and I just fell on my butt I then just sat for a minute and stabalized the dream. I then tried commanding the dream to change scenes, but right as I was doing this I got woken up again!

Well, I guess I only had 5 dreams But still, it was pretty awesome! I'm gonna eat more for dinner tonight so I have energy in the morning adn try this technique again! Can't wait!!!

See ya

So I remember travelling to this temple every now and then, we were in this fast car and there was a missing part to this bridge and we had to drive past it. When we got over the other end, I remember being with my parents, and we saw someone who we knew but haven't seen for a few years, my mum was talking to me how different they looked but they still looked the same to me. I then remember this slide outside the temple, somehow I got in there and got stuck and kind of flew out of it. I then remember being inside the temple with some people I knew and some I didn't. Next thing I remember is being ambushed, these people had guns and tried to kill our people, so we defended ourselves, I was the one who protected us all, I felt 'invincible' and just went up to the enemy's and killed them.(I had a revolver). After the ambush, we all went into this room were there was this big dinner table and lots of our people just standing around. I found a random place to stand and this person was just talking about what happened, I expected them to mention me, as I was the only reason the ambush wasn't successful, but they didn't so I left. This is where I become lucid, I find myself walking down my road and become instantly aware(i'm pretty sure this was the same dream) I do RCs and stabilize. I continued walking and did things but I can't remember it well. I then remember waking up and reentering and being in my ICT class, I went over to these girls and they started talking to me, one was being bitchy and the other one was being cool, just how I remember them. I remember much more happening but I just can't remember it in writing form if that makes sense . . .

Yep, you heard that right, I had 6 lucid dreams last night! They all seemed sorta chained together but eh, I was awake between each one so I call it 6!

Since it's getting late and I haven't had much time to record these on DV yet, I will do that tomorrow. But here is the technique I used to achieve this..

So last night I was reading about lucid dreaming and I came across this thing called the napping technique. It is really similar to a WILD except you stay up for a long time in between waking up
and going back to sleep. What I did was go to bed around 11:30. Then I set my alarm clock to get me up at 5:30. From this point I made myself stay awake for the next hour. I read out of my lucid dreaming book during this time to keep myself focused on dreams. When I first went back to bed, I remember having a non lucid for a second, then waking back up and realizing it. (or maybe I didn't wake up? I can't remember) Anyways, after this dream, my thinking during my dreams was VERY logical. Without giving away the first dream that started it, basically I was questioning why I was back in school, when it was June 3? (yes I remembered the exact date) Anyways, from there I became lucid. I kept waking up for some reason though during these dreams, but I was easily able to chain them together using a clock that was located in the room in the dream world. By then end I had had 6 dreams, and was VERY, VERY close to FINALLY meeting that individual I have been trying to for soooooo loooooong now.

Anyways, I found this technique to be the best thing since sliced bread, since it produced 6 lucids the first try. I'll log the dreams tomorrow, and hopefully alongside even more from tonight!

See ya

Total sleep time: 7 hrs

Early dreamlet: A guy tells me that whenever cheese is involved he is also there?

Dream1 DILD after WBTB: Me and bf are queuing to enquire about financial help. A DC woman is behind me and she disapproves of me being there. The scene transforms and we are on some kind of platform that is taking us someplace. I see a strange theme park that reminds me of the island Pinocchio went to. We arrive at the destination, the DC woman is still behind me, I feel her body press on me, so I decide to sit on the platform’s stone steps. I look where we have arrived. This is something like a prison that a sect has, and they keep girls with strange clothes there.

I enter the place and it turns into an ordinary apartment. I look around and it feels familiar, as if I had been here before. In the first room I see a girl that is kept there and she is clearly sad about her fate. She is naked and I feel her silky skin, and then hug her to console her. She is very thin and I cannot tell her back from her front, it actually gets distorted but I think it is because she is skinny and I tell her that…I move on. There is no one in the apartment and that gives me a strange feeling. Soon I discover another room where a girl is kept. This time it is an extremely dangerous girl. I try to peek through the keyhole but there is some metal in it. Of course, the door to this dangerous girl is not locked, so she starts moving the door trying to escape, while I am trying to close the door. She is stronger than me so she manages to escape and I face her. She is outright scary, because she is a vampire. Some game-like status bar that looks like a play paper card is there. I understand that I won’t be able to fight her, so decide to flee.

I leave the apartment as fast as I can, and as I get to the stairs I run into Brendan Hines, who I recognize in the dream as a friend of mine and not the actor. I tell him we should get out of there and glide/jump on the handrails as fast as I can. We leave the building and I am on the street lucid. My first thought is that I don’t need to run away any more, but just to be on the safe side, I decide to increase the distance between me and the vampire girl, so I fly forward a bit. I am very happy that this guy (Brendan) is here and have some strange memory that this is the second time I am dreaming him? I want to use him as a partner during the lucid.

I remember 3 of the TOTM (although I decided yesterday to do only two this month), and have a great clarity of mind. This worries me because I feel that this is end of the REM and I am going to wake up soon, so I go to do the tasks. I approach Brendan, but he has transformed into some ugly older dude, who is being engaged by two other DCs on a bench. That irritates me and I try to get his attention, with little success. I notice a small puddle on the floor and decide to look at my image there. At the same time, while walking towards the puddle I consider if I should take my clothes off, and I stretch my T-shirt a bit. I think that not being able to see for a while will disconnect me from the dream, so I abandon the task and concentrate on my image in the water. I am pleasantly surprised to see that it is actually me there, looking quite nice, and smiling. Normal clothes and hair. It seems that I am talking as I am thinking this because as I do, I see the image’s mouth move exactly in accordance with my thoughts/words. I find this fascinating, but soon I feel my real lips moving and I am back in my bed.

I am on my right side, eyes closed and decide to risk and go for a DEILD. I wait quite a while and nothing happens, I am quite awake so decide to go to the restroom and take some key notes. I then go back with the intention of falling asleep and having another lucid. (Yes, that greed!)

As is usually the case with me, this doesn’t work too well, so I spend about 50 mins doing all kinds of stuff trying to fall asleep. I got very sceptical about having another ld towards the end of this insomnia chunk and began contemplating whether I should get up and do something more productive, but I finally fell asleep.

Dreamlet: some plant leaves

Dream2 DILD: I am in what initially looks like my parents place and there is a rat-like creature on the floor. It is white, and has no eyes, so a bit creepy. It later becomes three smaller creatures. There was some kind of story about these but it is hard to remember. We also own some creature in my mind a horse, but then a dog/creature steals our horse and runs down the building. This is my grandma’s place for a while. I chase the dog to get back whatever is ours, which turns into my new handbag from real life.

This person/entity goes down some stairs which lead into the underworld. It is scary. The underworld entrance is a subway station, where the escalators don’t work, so there is no turning back. I consider checking whether the elevator works but enter in a restroom instead. There are two people making out there, I chase them away. I look in front of me, and become lucid.

Once again my brain is working full power. There is a mirror just in front of me, so I take advantage of the opportunity and check my appearance. My hair is a bit darker and my image makes grimaces. I think that I don’t want to be stuck here too long to avoid waking up, so I leave the restroom. The station is still there, and I want to talk gibberish to a DC, so I turn to a DC guy and say the sentence “I am talking gibberish”, but muffle the sound so it becomes something like “Mmm tokah gee-ummmsh” and look for his reaction. He doesn’t seem to understand what I am saying and I am disappointed with his reaction, so I repeat it two more times. He shyly smiles and looks away. Ah, he’s shy, I conclude, satisfied with the result.

Then I decide to go with the next task, get naked. I look around and proudly announce to the surrounding DCs “I am going to get naked!” and watch faces of dismay. I concentrate on taking my clothes off, but it seems I have two layers, one fitting really tight. As I struggle to take them off, the dream fades away and I am back in bed, left side this time.

Last night I dreamt that I was in an apartment that belonged to me. I had a couple of friends over and we were all playing video games in my room on a flatscreen. Everyone was huddled around my bed which took up a lot of space. The walls and carpets were brown and light brown but there was no art anywhere in the apartment. I was quite large though. After hanging around in my room for a while a friend of mine's (who wasn't present)
ex girlfriend showed up and sat next to me after we had migrated to the living room. She was very handsy and so I joined in by 'dancing my fingers on her thigh'. This was when I remembered that it might be pretty uncool of me if I flirted with my homies ex... What was she doing here anyway? And where did everybody go? I Must be dreaming! I looked her in the eyes for a few seconds, gave her a kiss on the cheek then went back to my "room". I laughed to myself because now there was art on the wall. A simple painting of a countryside and the sky. I levitated above my bed for a little while but then I dropped slowly into it and woke up.

I am on my motorbike and am racing against time. /I am with my father and notice that we arenot wearing helmets. I find this a strange occurance and perform a /rc. I realise I am dreaming however the lucidity is low and unstable. I feel a tremendous pull to down "deep within" the dream. something I have never felt in ld before.

I then awake. recall and fall back to sleep.

Starting out with a small low level ld this early into the game is inspiring and lets me know that I will be able to pick it back up again with no hassle.

The pull was a very strange sensation, one that I have not felt before. it was if I were being pulled right in the very essence of the dream it self, not down as such more within. this also felt very natural like it is something that I should know about and follow, however I awoke.

Could this be a new level that I have not seen before? or was it something as simple as my body waking up and my dream making sense of the sensations. we all know how quickly the outside world can impose on the dream.

I was in my math class, supposedly before school began. I was talking with S and A. Then I realized that I was late to my own class and had to leave for whatever reason.
As I made my way down the hall, I did the nose pinch reality check, because I know that being late for class/school is extremely common in dreams. I was very alert when I did the reality check.
As soon as I'm lucid, I say something like "Oh, I'm dreaming!"
"Oh, no you dont!" Said a man's voice, grabbing me.
At that moment, (as funny or violent as this sounds) my school's principal started to attack me. I didn't want to fight him, so I yelled and made a sonic blast that pushed him away without really hurting him.
Three other people came up behind me. I thought they were teachers or something from my school, although they certainly didn't look like any teachers that I recognized. I was still lucid, but for some reason, I didn't use another sonic wave, or cast any magic.
I simply started fighting them in hand-to-hand combat, one at a time. I couldn't really kick, my legs felt very heavy, but my punches (given I was lucid) were devastating and sent my opponents flying into walls.
After awhile, It became clear that my efforts were fruitless. One of the people grabbed me from behind and I wasn't able to move. I woke up after that.

My god, I just beat up a bunch of old people. Part of me is really corrupt.
