    Lucid Dreams

    1. Three lucid dreams in a row

      by , 01-13-2013 at 02:09 PM
      Two days ago I had three lucid dreams in a row. I counted them just as only one because they happened in a very short time and each one was very similar in character to the other.

      In all of those dreams I entered them without being asleep, directly (so I think). The dream begins with a vibrating sensation or chills. Then I feel that my body literally gets up from the bed and adopts an upright position, precisely using the left side of bed that is the one I use to get up normally. When I get up I grazed the books on a shelf that are just too close to my bed. I walked, or rather I am headed to the door of my room that is closed. It's funny, because in this case I opened the door to the contrary, that is outward rather than inward. Step by in front of the bathroom and then to the living room. Then I head for the front door, open it and I'm on the street. It is night, and the front of the house is dark, but I can see the trees that stand against a clear blue sky. As I have already dreamed this so many times, I want to change the dream and rotate my body quickly. I open my eyes and I'm facing a closet, I opened the door and see a life size clown. I get angry and take it out of the closet and violently crashed it against the floor. I wake up.

    2. The mini iron giant

      WILD into DEILD chain (6-8)

      ***note to self: work more on tactile sensations when developing scene from WILD.

      This is the 3rd night in a row of a WILD. I have not smoked or drank for about a week and a half. Every night I have been getting up around 5 (not intentionally) and been unable to fall back asleep for an hour or so. I can feel a moment of deep focus right before the transition sensations kick in. I have about a 5 to 10 second heads-up to stay aware. I can't describe it but I guess I have done enough WILDs where I can tell my body is about to fall asleep. Also, for the 3rd consecutive night the transition was the new adrenaline-lightness instead of vibrations.

      This occurred at the embassy suites where I was sleeping IRL. I wasn't able to record this for awhile, also I had a very distracting and emotional morning so my recall is down to about 0. I remember recalling around 8 DEILDs, most of which fell victim to the darkness. I am working on trying to develop scenes once I feel the transition instead of opening my dream eyes and starting in my bed. Here are the 3 snippets I remember.

      I remember that my previous few DEILDS failed because I started in the dark room. I tried to visualize a scene with a tree. I could start to see the outline in the darkness. I began to hear voices and they are having a conversation with each other. I believe I started to get visuals, but I was never "in" the dream, just observing some interaction.

      DEILD

      I am looking to get out of the dark room. I go over to the window and it is daytime outside. I jump down a few floors to the ground. It looks like fall. I walk around and I eventually find 2 guys who look to be early 30's. They are homeless and living out of a box. I cant recall the rest

      DEILD

      I go out the front door of the room. There is large arena with some people scattered about. It is indoors. I see a little Iron Giant figurine standing alone on the ground. It is about 3 ft. tall. I want to become it so I put it in front of my face and try to look through its eyes. Eventually I morph through it so I am seeing as it does, but I stay my normal size and physical appearance. I then just pretend to be a robot and pick up and throw some things.

    3. Feeling ugly at the swimming pool

      by , 01-13-2013 at 10:07 AM
      A boy(I felt like a child/teenager in my dream) I liked was going to take me to a special place. He showed me a lake with an island in the middle. The way to get there was by a wooden boat. I remember becoming slightly lucid. I wanted to cross the lake but the water was dirty and I didn't trust the boat enough. I tried to make the water clean but it didn't work.

      A man told us there were other boats on the other side. Suddenly I was at a swimming pool with two of my cousins. The youngest one was way younger than he is now. Nobody was flirting with me and I thought that was strange. (sounds so arrogant now I'm awake) I felt ugly and was wondering how I must look like today. I also felt very white and thought I must have had break outs all over my face. We wanted to rent jet ski's to go to the island but it turned out to be fake ones for children. I became a little bit lucid and wanted to turn my plush monkey into a real one. -I have no idea why I had a plush monkey with me at a swimming pool-
      It didn't work.

      I was sitting next to a woman in the pool and she took my legs over her lap and the man next to her start massaging my feet. I wanted to leave but they told me I didn't have to worry. I looked stressed and I was their 'sister'. I asked them if they were going to convince me to become religious.

      The swimming pool was closing and I wanted to finally see how I looked. When I was walking to the mirror I became lucid and did reality checks. -While awake the first reality check I always do is pinch my nose. I never done this in my dream.- My hand looked very weird. I couldn't stop myself of looking in the mirror and I saw myself with a big forehead and the vision(?) was hazy.
      It was hard to control my dream. I tried really hard to change things but It didn't work too well.
      I tried to stay lucid by spinning around and rubbing my hands together. The thing I did manage to do after that was to make a car appear and drive with my friends. After that I woke up.

    4. The Kangarant

      by , 01-13-2013 at 04:29 AM
      I'm glad to be in a patch of more peaceful, relaxed lucids that are geared toward exploration. These are usually among my favorites and tend to provide more opportunity for completing tasks. (Not that I was successful completing anything in this dream, of course, but theoretically...)

      Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

      Lucid #56: The Kangarant

      I'm in a small prop plane flying over a high, snowy mountain range. There are two other guys in the plane with me, both in their 20s. There are no seats -- everyone is standing. Nobody appears to be piloting the aircraft.

      The plane barrels toward a mountain peak, and I shout, "Agggh, watch out!!" But the plane clears the peak (though just barely) and the two guys high five. They look at me like they don't get why I'm being such a baby.

      "Where are we?" I ask. One of the guys ponders this for a moment and says, "California."
      California? "No way," I think, and become lucid.

      The plane goes into a hard, sickening turn to the right and starts losing altitude. My two companions think this is great, but I want off. I phase my left hand through one of the plane's windows. After a brief pause, the rest of my body follows and I'm flying outside in the clouds, the plane buzzing off into the distance.

      I'm descending pretty rapidly but I feel like I'm in control. Unexpectedly, I pass by a gray-haired man who's dressed in an Army Service Uniform. He looks extremely high-ranking, almost certainly a general. He's staying still while I'm moving so I whoosh right by him. He's muttering something as I fly by, but I can't make it out.

      My descent slows and I land in an airfield. Some planes are taxiing on runways while others are refueling. There's even a rocket set up nearby! It looks vaguely like a Saturn V but it's way too small.

      Stranger still are the animals roaming everywhere across this airfield. Each has at least one human handler. I spot camels for sure, and several other types that I can't remember. But the animal that really grabs my attention is something that I can only describe as the cross between a kangaroo and an elephant. (Kangarant? Eleroo?)

      This animal is about 30-feet tall, gray-skinned like an elephant, but with the powerful hind legs and dainty forelimbs of a kangaroo. It has a marsupial pouch but its head has tusks and a modest trunk. The head is elephant-like, but sleeker and longer than an elephant's. I watch this beast in fascination for a while. A handler on a raised platform is passing it some kind of hay to eat. The kangarant munches away, passive and content.

      I start thinking about tasks and I fly past the airfield to see what's out there. I come to a beach where several vendors have stalls set up. I decide that this is Australia and that I should do the Australia Task of the Year. I remember something about Mel Gibson.
      Actual task: ("Hitch a ride on a sea turtle, dolphin, or humpback whale and explore the Great Barrier Reef. Bite a great white shark and don't die. ") I decide that since I don't know what I'm doing I had better try something else. I decide to figure out some kind of way to travel to the Colosseum and have my gladiator battle.

      I convince myself that a time machine will appear behind me. I turn around, shouting, "Time machine!" This fails to do anything but make me feel stupid.

      A girl who looks like she's about nine walks up to me. I think she's perhaps Philippina. I ask, "Can you show me the way to the time machine?"

      She nods, looking a little cross with me. "But I'm not a girl! I'm a boy!" She glares at me, waiting for me to make this right. I don't really know how to respond, since she can apparently read my mind (and I still think she's a girl.)

      "Sorry...?" I offer, and this seems to satisfy her. She starts running inland across a nearby road and I follow. We've only gone a short distance when
      I wake up.
    5. try TOTY with the Sphinx

      1 LD
      my bed moved and i understood that its a dream,i was in parent's house, some light was in the bathroom - i opened the door - darkness and i made a step in the darkness thinking about desert, piramids and sphinx. I land somewhere, sank under my hands and the picture became clear, but it there was so bright sun light that i could see only people legs and foots. soon i got accustomed and saw, that i was on some upland and under this upland was a valley with some piramids and sphinx. I flew but it was difficult to land , i just couldn't land for a while. When i land i stood just opposit the sphinx and trying to make him allive and it became detting smaller till the size of a big dog. I still tried to allive him. One eye became sparkling and then other eye. but i lost awareness and awoke in false awaking.
      2 LD
      in false awaking i wrote down my lucid and lied down, felt strong vibration, stood, made RC, i was in the street, and some man pursue me. I kiled him with my finger like my finger was a gun. Other solder twisted my arm- i said - look, and put my free arm in the wall, took of fingers and move a little. But it didn't impressed the solder and i went into real, and again awoke in falce awaking.
      3 LD after i wrote down my second ld in false awaking copy-book, i lied down and tried to enter the dream once more. I understood that its a dream, made RC, saw my son in the room. I went to other room and shut the door, then i jump in the floor and wanted to be near sphinx. I found myself in right place, but there were 2 sphinxes.. and one was alive and jumped with enormous crash around me and i woke up in real
    6. How to prolong your Dreams?

      by , 01-12-2013 at 05:44 PM
      I woke up in my dreams more than twice. When i wake up in my dream i always say "I am dreaming, I am dreaming, I am dreaming". And after a short while i will wake up in reality. Though, my body in my dream is paralyzed but my brain is awake. I can even say alot of things in my brain when i am dreaming. Too bad, i can't really move that much yet. Thanks everyone.

    7. Eating Watermelon

      by , 01-12-2013 at 02:55 PM
      Nonlucid, Lucid, Partially lucid Waking life notes

      January 2, 2013:

      I am outside, in the front yard of my childhood home. I am aware that I am dreaming. There is a giant watermelon in the yard. I eat some and give a piece to my girlfriend. Tatia is also there, and I give her some watermelon too. She says it is good.
      I have a mouth full of watermelon. It is sweeter than usual, and juicy, rather than watery
      (I don't really like watermelon in waking life)My mouth is too full and it's hard to chew.
      I give Tatia and my gf more melon, then we just walk around. Tatia is naked. Her for is a bit unstable and changes.
      She now looks like my gf, wearing her large blue T-shirt she likes to sleep in. I tell her that I don't want her to look like her, or to replace her. I want them both there. My gf is walking behind us at the moment.

      I am masturbating some as we walk. Tatia and I have sex for a few seconds, then keep walking.
      It was nice that the dream was sexual and that I didn't get overwhelmed or distracted by it.
      We walk among some trees. I point to one and say "look, fruit." There is yellow and red fruit in one tree and on the ground. I lift Tatia to reach the fruit in the tree. She is weightless and stands in the palm of my hands. I noticed that her legs are shaped sort of how I usually draw them.
      She tries to fly but can't. I say "you fly all the time." Then I tell her she is over thinking it.


      Thinking back on it, while awake, it seems unlikely that Tatia would over think things, because of her personality. That was probably my fault, since I'm the one who tends to worry too much.

    8. Completing my goal and then fail

      by , 01-12-2013 at 11:47 AM
      This happened to me quite recently. I have two goals yet to complete. First one is my main one, create a beach and try to enjoy it as long as possible. Second is try to abstain from doing dirty things to DCs because it wakes me up almost every time. I have a few dreams before this but I only recall a bunch of bits and pieces. I wake up and am in a sleepy state so I do DEILD. I start creating the beach and an ocean appears. Its just water surrounding which freaks me out a bit so I focus on the beach and surroundings. A huge light tower building forms as my dream body emerges into the scene now. I am now on sand facing a fence with plants and what not on the other side. I turn and see the beach and the waves coming upon the shore. I remember the water looking almost like a 3D animation look in action. I continue to walk along the beach and see people in bathing suits, fathers with their kids and other DCs. I continue walking happy I am finally lucid and on a beach at the same time. My normal horny self gets the best of me and I decide I don't care about goal number 2 when I come up on a good looking lady in a round hat and sunglasses, in her bathing suit coming from the water on to the beach. I immediately walk up on her and rub her out. I wake up almost instantly. I am really having a hard time staying away from good looking DCs.

    9. Trying to dive down Embassy Suites

      WILD into DEILD chain

      I was staying at the embassy suites and having trouble falling asleep. I don't remember all of the DEILDs because they melted together. There were probably some more very short ones in the middle.

      I am laying in bed and I feel the adrenaline-lightness I felt last time.I RC and stand up. It is very dark in the room. I decide to try and jump into the center area from our floor. I try to feel the walls to stabilize the dream and I lose it.

      DEILD

      I stand up again and find a light switch. It turns on the light to the room ahead of me. I dont get very far and lose the dream.

      DEILD

      I try the light switch again and it does nothing. This time, I am able to make it to the door. I look outside, and I see the railing. However, it only goes down like 4 ft. into a flat floor. There are people with little mats hanging out. I go out onto the floor and lose the dream.

    10. Headlights

      by , 01-12-2013 at 10:19 AM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      WBTB - I woke naturally at 3:30AM but I was so tired that the thought of an extended WBTB was horrendous. My alarm went off at 4:00AM. I woke naturally again around 4:30. I got up long enough to take aids and then did some SSILD.

      Aids - 50MG Caffeine, 100MG B6 (I swear I thought I got up and took 5MG melatonin but I think it was a dream.)

      Tech - I had a hard time going back to sleep. I switched from SSILD to meditation to WILD attempt to SSILD. I was in an out of consciousness and had a few non-lucid dream fragments. I felt restless. Finally at 6:13AM I wake from a brief DILD.

      Notes - I am not sure what happened here but I went way past my usual 45-60 min window. Maybe it was the lower dosage that kept me from being too awake to not be able to fall back to sleep. I think tonight I would do better to get up at 3:30 and see if I can avoid the wakefulness. I found it very distracting. I think next time (when there is slight wakefulness) I should just go for straight WILD attempt through the whole thing.

      This dream was a bit of a failure but it was a valuable learning experience.

      117 - Headlights - DILD

      I find myself in my car, backing out of my driveway. I notice a car passing down the street behind me. As I wait for it I see the headlights pass in front of me. I think maybe it was a reflection of the glass at first but then I remember something. "I am dreaming!"

      In an instant, the dream collapses and I find myself in a FA in my bed. I am not sure but I think I felt very mild vibrations. I stand up but the dream is unstable. The dream environment it swirling and dark. I look at my hands and rub them. All physical sensations are vivid but all I can see is my hands and blackness beyond. My vision is like I am drunk. I begin to feel rushed and a little frantic to get this dream going. (Looking back I realize that I need to start calming myself more and taking my time. I always forget my basics.)

      I had intended to do the the basic TOTM but for some reason I have the Rome TOTY in mind. Being impatient I decide to try and change the scene again. I spin around in place for several rotations and extremely fast. I stop and relax myself. Almost against my will I stiffen like a board and fall over to my back like a cut tree.

      As I float in the black void, I tell myself to wake up in a Roman Colosseum. I open my eyes but find myself in another FA. I try to get up out of bed but this time I slide horizontally to my right. The blankets stick to me like glue for a moment. I calmly will it away.

      Now I am standing. I am frustrated and decided to just see what happens when I meditate in a lucid. I remember that since reading Robert Waggoner's book, I have wanted to try it. I close my eyes and calm myself. I do the traditional "OOOOOMMMMM." I begin to get very strange sensations. Like my body is breaking up and becoming wave energy. I take this as the dream breaking up and I think I am waking. I give up and lose concentration.


      I find my non-lucid self standing in my bedroom doorway walking in. I see a strange, large, brown insect flying in front of me. I try to get closer to study it. At that point I remember something and instantly wake. I wait for DEILD but it is no use.

    11. Camp with family and friends with DEILD

      by , 01-12-2013 at 10:02 AM
      It starts out a pretty good dream. I am with my friend, Levi, and we are in a cabin of some sort at a campground somewhere. The cabin is actually really nice set with a flat screen and couches and what not. We are both sitting on the couch hitting his rasta bong I had mentioned in another dream. I walk outside and set the bong right in the entrance way on a small sidewalk. I walk into the second cabin right next to our other one. I turn around before I walk in and see my mom and john leaving our campsite and walking down the dirt road. I am worried they might see the bong but I don't seem to move it from its position. I am in the cabin with my brothers and Levi talking about something, not sure what.

      Dream skip

      I am going though a line that has two electric fences on both sides. It is a line for some type of campground police enforcement. It starts to become to narrow as I reach the little building where they give me the results of whatever I am here for. I get stuck and complain the fence is shocking the shit out of my legs. The officers tell me to go back a bit and jump over the side of the fence. I step down with my foot and it bends. I make my way over. They notify me I am now on probation.

      Dream skip

      I see myself in third person (as a memory) and I am walking with my friends when I slip and smack the back of my head on the ground. I wake up in a field to hear Levi's cellphone blaring right in my ear on full blast. I look over to my left and see him holding the phone now up to my face. I am still in a daze. It pisses me off being awaken from being knocked out so I act like it hurts the shit out of my head and scream in pain. Eventually the cellphone is still there but he is gone. I then see in a third person point of view Levi, Tyler, and a third guy unknown carrying grocery bags round and packed full of personal items and illegal things as well. I remember Levi staring at my third person view and saying something about if I wanted this I would get up (because I have actually wanted some bud lately). It switches back to me and of course I'm up. I see them come around the hill I was laying on and greet me. I tell Levi about his stupid ass phone blowing out my eardrum and me screaming in pain, because I thought now that it was just his phone and not him (even though I saw him). We eventually start walking towards the recreational grounds still carrying the bags. I tell them I'm on probation because there are campground officers patrolling the grounds. We walk on to the side of this hill with a bunch of people all grouped up down the hill, sort of in a line. We are towards the back and set the bags down on the ground. I see they have some of my clothes IRL packed in them, like my Sipknot shirt and others. I don't want the officers to confiscate my things, but I also would rather not be caught with illegal herbs while on probation. We are sneaking away and I look back to see some people we know standing in a group around our bags so the officers don't check them. We get out to the field again. I now see and recognize the third person in the dream and IRL. it is Frank the father in Everybody Loves Raymond dressed in a t-shirt and jeans like a younger person. Levi says that he is hungry, I say I'm fucking starving, so we all agree to head out to eat. We make it to a basketball court which has no hoops or anything, just a concrete slab pretty much. It is filled with bunches of people just standing around like on the hill. The officers make every one leave the court and go into these prison cells to the left of it. This is all outside, like just square cells and with no roof, just opened. I go into one with my brother Miles. I wake up after that.

      I then close my eyes because I am still in a sleepy state and try to go back into the dream. The DEILD works. I wake up in the grass laying in the exact same sleeping position. I get up and am fully lucid. I am at a part of the dream I didn't mention before because I barely remember it. I am following a small group in a line. There is a hot chick that was in the line just like I had previously seen, but this time she catches my attention. She travels off the trail from the group to the right by herself, which she had done also previously. I swear my brain set me at this part in the dream to trick me into following her because I am trying not to induce sex in my lucid dreams lately because that is want I want to do 80% of the time when I am lucid. Sex excites me which wakes me up most of the time. I walk with her and walk out in front of her and ask her if she will follow me. I start walking towards the tree behind her and it immediately becomes super blurry. I completely forgot to stabilize and I wake up. I swear that girl was put there for me to fuck it up. I learned my lesson.

    12. My First Lucid Dream (Finally)

      by , 01-12-2013 at 09:36 AM
      So I finally had my first lucid dream, but this didn't happen last night. This happened December 29th.

      As soon as the dream came into view, it automatically came to me; I was in a dream. I looked at my surroundings: I was in a grey building and I had a pistol I was holding, but I viewed everything like a first person shooter. The first thing that came to my mind was that if I'm in a first person shooter, there might be other people in the building that might want to shoot me! So, the first thing I looked for was a doorway that led me out of the building. As I was looking for the way out, I came into a classroom that had a bunch of people from my school, but they all looked like they were mad at me for some reason. I just walked through them, when I saw the exit door. As I go towards it, some girl trips me...so I punched her in the face. Then were boyfriend got up, and I just shoved him. "This is stupid," I said to myself. Before I opened the door, I thought to myself there will be a town behind this door. Sure enough, there was a town that looked like a map out of Modern Warfare 2. First attempt at controlling something: successful.

      I walk down the sidewalk and I see a few strange things, like a couple sitting at a table with a bunch of baby dragons jumping around them, giant air waver things on the ceilings of buildings (like the ones you see for advertisement), etc. Anyway, as I go down some ally I come to this opening with a fireplace in front of me. I look at the sky and think I wonder if I can make myself fly. I flew off the ground a little bit, about 12 ft, but then I fell back down. Well that won't work. I turn around to go back, but then I see my Uncle Anthony sleeping on the steps of the ally. I ask him why he is sleeping there, and he just told me that he was tired. Well, apparently his head was next to ANOTHER fireplace, and his head caught on fire. I find some oven mitt and try to pat out his head, but it made the oven mitt catch on fire. Then my Uncle Paul comes from the ally and says, "I'll take care of this." I guess the only reason that he was in my dream is because I was working for him that week. I look around and get an awesome idea. "Wait, I got it!" I said to him. I look at all the fire in the ally area, take a deep breath, and then "WARGLFLARBGARL!" I start shooting a bunch of water out of my mouth and extinguish the fire, only it wasn't a steady stream of water, it was more like a wavy stream. Once everything was extinguished, my Uncle Paul looks at me and says,"Now that's a way to put out a fire...in a disgusting way." I kinda laugh to myself, and then I woke up.

      All of a sudden my vision turned from black to bright red. At this point, I realized I was dreaming. I looked towards the wall and saw shadows of flames materializing. When I got up and looked around though there were just cheap cardboard cutouts of flames scattered throughout the room. I jumped out of the window to escape. I was in another room with more cardboard flames. My vision turned from bright red to somewhat black and white. It was as if I was in a cheap 1920's silent film. I dodged the flames and jumped through another glass window into another room. I could finally see the outside through another window. Then, K (a big girl) came up from behind and bit my arm! I got away and when I looked back I saw that K had a shovel and was trying to hit me! Luckily, I was able to grab the shovel from her hands as she was taking a swing at me and got away again. My dream ended just before I could make it outside.

      I realize I'm dreaming, and also realize I'm at my grandmas house. My friend is there. By this point I know I can use certain powers and remember that I've been practicing on control over powers in dreams. My friend asks me to go outside to practice fighting. I say ok and we walk outside. On the way out he zaps me with one of those buzzer things people have in the middle of their hands when they shake someones hand. I keep walking out, but then turn around. For fun I use my control to summon a massive amount of lightening in the sky. The day was entirely clear skys with a few clouds, then the next second it got dark and lightening showed across the sky. This lasted for a few seconds before it faded.
      My friend then says he no longer wants to fight outside, because I showed off too much power. I Disagree and use my w telekinetic power to throw him against the floor and roof inside the house. He reluctantly agrees and comes outside. We head down to a good area to fight, and he starts flying. I try to fly but am unable to do so.
      Then the dream scene changes to my dads house.
      I'm still trying to fly but can't figure out how to more than just glide slightly. In one try I land on some wooden pallets about 10ft by 10ft. I get an idea to lift the pallet with me up, but then even better I should just use my powers to lift myself up. I focus control onto myself. It takes a second, but then something clicks in my head, and i realize how to do it. I mess up some at first, by flipping accidentally and dropping myself. But I soon get the hang of it. The dream ends shortly after that


      One of my better lucids recently. Haven't had too many lately and it seems like I'm getting back into lucid dreaming. Can't wait till I'm back to 4-5 a week.

      I really hope this has broken my dryspell for good. I woke up a couple of times in the night and experienced the lucid in my eighth hour of sleep, which I guess shows that I should be able to have lucids on school days too.

      Fragment of 1st Dream: My house in Poland seems to be a big dreamsign. I'll make sure to utilise that in a mantra or something.
      Sitting on my sofa in said house, I observe one of my cats, the older brown/black stripy one, playing with this random guy in my living room. He's tall and well-built, but his body is constantly changing texture and looks so at one moment he's a massive cat, at another a guy. My cat jumps up and slaps him in the face playfully, then runs away down the corridor, and the guy laughingly chases after it. The next bit I remember is looking at some kind of card with information about him - turns out he's mentally disabled somehow, has got some syndrome I cannot now recall.

      Fragment of 2nd Dream: I am on some train station, presumably Dartford where I always take the train from to go home, but it looks nothing like that station, it looks more like Charing Cross or something similar. A train rolls in but is too fast and stops right at the end of the platform; I have to hurry to get in before the doors close, and make a little jump at the end because the last door has stopped already beyond the platform. The carriage has two floors, is dark and has a rather strange layout. There is only one noticeable passenger on the first floor, and I take a seat. The train begins to move and my recall ends.
      3rd Fragment of 3rd Dream: I am looking down the ranks of an 18th century army. This probably stems from my playing Empire: Total War quite a lot. They are up on a little hill, and the weather is very grey, a darkish overcast. The sea of rifles twitch here and there, before the whole line leveling their guns and shooting a multitude of times. A lot of smoke clouds the area, and a lot of enemies, who are charging up the landmass, fall in agony. Dream recall ends here.

      Lucid Dream:
      Now onto the good stuff I am in my house, in Poland yet again, and there seem to be two severed man anatomy parts that belong to my friend that for some reason I have the responsibility to carry and deposit in the waste bin. I pick them up, walk into my living room and immediately realise that I'm dreaming, so I put the things I'm carrying on a windowsill and quickly look at my hands. They look normal, but that doesn't shake my beliefs in the questionable reality of the dreamworld. I rub them together for stabilisation and concentrate on the sensations I get from it, as well as becoming aware of my surroundings like I would IRL practising ADA. The dream instantly gains in clarity and I get quite excited, since this dream broke my dryspell that I thought to be virtually unbreakable for a short period of time. I walk out of my house, or rather run out, paying close attention to the vivid details around me, and feeling the grass beneath my feet, etcetera - it was a beautiful summer's day, a couple white clouds in the sky. I walk up to the fence of my house; now at this point I always jump over it using my super jumping ability for faster travel, but I noticed that the fence was higher than usual. I try to jump, but, just as I expected, failed. I don't have any volition to battle my subconscious, so I walk around to the gate.
      My dad's there, and he takes out the key to the gate to open it for me. Before he does so, however, I pull the gate willing it to open, and it does. My dad's surprised, but he says that the heat must have expanded the metal somehow, possibly causing the mechanism to break which enabled me to open the gate. I don't even look at him, just walk out onto the street. I remember this street from so many of my lucid dreams before, as the vast majority seem to take place here. I look to the left, where the road continues for about a hundred metres and then goes into a wheat field. More close is a turning, which leads past some houses into a forested area. That direction is unpopulated however, which I feel wouldn't make for an interesting dream, so I turn around and look down the other end of the street - to my surprise, the street ends very promptly, as it goes up to a house about ten metres away. The house is made out of dark wood, and it has a lot of trees in its garden, providing nice shade along the area. Immediately to the left of me and opposite my house there is another field, littered with daisies and bees and wasps buzzing around. A path goes through this field into the garden of the house, so I start walking through it but decide to turn back because of the wasps, which I have a bit of a phobia of, especially in dreams. Back at the road, however, I notice there is another path I can take which is much closer to the house and only infringes a little bit on the field, so I use it.
      I walk around the wooden fence of the house and end up in its garden, where a DC of a woman is cutting some planks on a table. A girl who came in from the field goes to help her by the woman's request, and impales her finger on some of the nails sticking out of the wood, but there's no blood to be seen. I walk past them, saying to my dream, "An ambulance is needed here!" there is a glass door that allows me to go through to the second half of the garden, and push it open just as an ambulance pulls up in front of the house. I laugh to myself at my own power over my dream. I then turn left and notice a door to the inside of the house. Deciding to try dream control which I had never succeeded in before, I wanted my room from my house to be behind the door and swung it open. Sure enough, my room was there, but I didn't have a firm idea of what it looked like in my head before opening the door, so it was just a generic bedroom with a small table and a lamp in the middle.
      I tried again, closing the door and this time visualising specifically my room. Again I pulled the door open to reveal exactly what I had hoped: an exact replica of my room, a wormhole into my house so to speak. I rested against the doorframe for a couple of seconds, looking simultaneously into my room and outside of the house I was next to. It was amazing, manipulating reality like that. Then, I came out of my bedroom and closed the door once more, and when I opened it this time, willing a banana to materialise inside, I saw, sure enough, the small table in the middle bearing a bowl with one banana in it. A male DC also materialised, facing away from me, eating another banana. I laughed at my subconscious' caprice to include him, since I didn't ask for him. But I thought I'd give him a nice surprise before I went my way, and closed the door, willed a brothel into existence and opened it again. The room was roughly the same size, but now there was a long central table either side of which two rows of asian-looking prostitutes, sure enough, sat, giggling and talking amongst themselves. The guy stood there dumbfounded, but with a smile taking over his face. I personally decided to get involved a little bit.
      A lot of things ensued which I am reluctant to post on a public forum.
      My family came in partway through but I was still lucid, so didn't really mind. Then the world turned to mist and I could feel there was no way to stop myself from waking up. Then, well, I woke up.
