lucid

So I took a nap today as per usual. While in my dream I began observing the people around me. There was a group of people toward the back of the room speaking in some strange language I've never heard before. There was a lady standing next to me and I asked her "am I dreaming?" Her reply was a simple no. I walked over to a sink and began washing my hands while looking around the room and thinking to myself "I'm dreaming."

Of course right then my alarm clock went off. Bummer!!

Last night I had a short DILD... The dream begins with me at my house texting my girlfriend. I am very tired and so I fall asleep on her and forget to respond. When I wake up, she has texted me a lot of times and is very concerned with how I am doing. She says that she is coming over to check on me. I look outside and see her car pulling up as well as my roommates car parked out front. So I call her and tell her I was just tired and fell asleep and that everything is alright. At first she doesn't believe that it is me on the phone so I spend some time convincing her. She then tells me that her friend needs an assignment printed out so I tell my parents we are going to spend the night at the dorm. They yell at me and say it is too late because it is 11pm but we leave anyway.When we get there, I find 3 of my friends and 3 of her friends already there having a party at our dorm. Her 3 friends keep on coming in and then randomly leaving so I decide that I want to find out what is going on. Out front of the dorm, the jeep is parked with the 3 girls in the back. The jeep starts to drive backwards and I glance at the driver's seat. It is empty. I notice that this is peculiar and then it hits me. I must be dreaming! To check I look over at the speed limit sign for the road they are driving on. Normally it is a 45mph street but the sign says 77mph. Since I know I am lucid, I really want everything to become very clear like I have read about in other people's lucid dreams. I scream at the top of my lungs that this is a dream but then i wake up! Unfortunately it is a false awakening where I just tell myself that I can't go back to bed I have to remember the LD. I don't remember anything after this. Somehow in the morning I remembered all of this happening! Quite surprising that I had a DILD when I have been solely focusing on WILD.

NON LUCID
*Montre goes to court and tracy is there to support him.

LUCID
*Flying towards the city in robot mode.
This dream starts off on my porch on the second floor. I thought to my self this is very strange for me to jump off of here, I must be dreaming! I am dreaming! I jump and land. Start to walk swinging this stick I had in my hand when I thought I saw something threating. Then this person I know from work walked around the corner and started throwing rocks at me. I started throwing rock back but I felt the person wasn't be beat by this method of battle. So I said aloud DISAPPEAR, then the person disappeared and the clothes were left. Then I ended up flying towards a huge beautiful city. I could hear my self breathing in a kind of robot mode.

*Where am I? France!
I knew I was dreaming and flying around a beautiful landscape in the middle of the day. I thought about asking the dcs where I was. I asked one lady something and I don't remember at this point. Then I asked another lady and she responded in french. I was very surprised how realistic her french sounded. I wondered if these were real words.

I'm writing this hours after I woke up, so I don't remember too much anymore.

I'm supposedly playing Portal, but in reality it's more like the moon base level of Killing Floor (minus the monsters). I get really excited when I see that other people are in the server with me, because I didn't remember Portal being a multiplayer game. The people in the server assume that I've gotten into the Portal series late, when really it's just been a long time. We keep having these mini "liftoffs" where we hold onto a handle and we are thrown into the air a little bit, and then there's zero gravity. Someone gives me the "Portal movie" and I put it into the DVD player. On a very large flatscreen TV (a little smaller than one at the movies, maybe), is a 2D animated movie about Chell. Now that I look back on it, even though it was supposed to be about Portal, she had her jumpsuit tied around her waist like Portal 2.

It was a great movie and it was really funny, even though at some parts it didn't really have to do with Chell or Portal at all. I was really excited that there was a good movie about my favorite game series. Later, I'm at this big grocery store where they have a mind-boggling amount of ice cream flavors, popsicle flavors, ice cream pop flavors, sundays, etc. There was also this small conveyor belt that you would sit on and you would grab office supplies off these little shelves as you rode along, and then when you got to the end of the belt, you payed and got off. I rode on it, but just to ride on it and not because I wanted office supplies. At the end, I felt embarrassed about it, so I told the cashier that I wanted those thin sticky notes. However, the ones I could find were pretty crappy quality.

Later, I can't get my friends to watch the Portal movie. Finally, they come in while I'm re-watching it, but they happen to come in during one of the parts that has nothing to do with Chell or Portal, so I become frustrated. At some point my parents are playing Yume Nikki hooked up to our TV because apparently it's now a console game. They know I love it so they wanted to try it out. They had only been playing it for a few minutes, but they weren't sure what to do at that point. I took the X-Box 360 controller from my mother and explained, while playing the game, that they would probably think it was actually fairly boring, since virtually all of it is just walking around and looking at things.

At some point, I'm lucid for a bit. I walk around and observe that everything is frustratingly fuzzy, but I forget to try to make anything more clear. I start flying for a bit over a bus that is driving down the road under me, and then I wake up(?).

CAN WILD SUCCESS

Please see this entry from the link above. This entry was a failed attempt and entering this dream in a custom page where I log all dreams infiltrated by my alarm: http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/the+sandman/page190-alarm-infiltrated-dreams/

The "Like was in response to the dream--which I had double posted, and have now removed, including direction to the dream.

Method: DILD.
In the dream I'm at a party in a school or something, I don't really remember. It becomes nighttime and I venture out into the attic of the school for some reason. This is when I become lucid and I decide to go find the Lament Configuration (for those who don't know Hellraiser: it's a series of movies and graphic novels about a puzzle cube, called the Lament Configuration. When solved, it leads to the ultimate physical experience. ..in other words: Hell. In the first movie, it's also first used in an attic). It's there, and I know what it can do, so I'm very cautious. But then I remember hey, this is just a dream, so I just grab it, examine it from all angles and just take it downstairs.

While running outside, I remember I still have the darn thing in my hand. It's made of wood (in the movies as well) so I just drop it and it shatters on the ground.

The next "day" (still in the dream), I'm back at the school (ok, no time has passed at all, it just suddenly is daytime) and I decide to fly. I drop to the floor like always, but only hover about 1cm above it. That's odd, normally I hover a few inches. So I push myself up and it works, but not for long. I'm having difficulties staying airborne. I just give up and go inside the school's cafeteria.

There are a bunch of DCs there, and I decide to talk to one of them, a very pretty girl, about my age. She doesn't believe me, as is to be expected, so I just try and kiss her, just for fun. Because, whatever, right? She keeps turning away and I can feel my face sink into her cheek, it's a very curious feeling and I want to explore that feeling a bit more. I want to just pass through people and watch their reactions.

But then I wake up.

It started after I fell back asleep after waking up to my alarm (I wasn't trying).

I remember being in my house, and I was watching some old Christmas movie. I had to go to the bathroom, so I went, and I noticed that the bathtub was full of tiny swimming baby deer. I didn't find it odd, and went about doing my "business". A few seconds later, I glanced back at the bathtub, and it had significantly less deer in it than before, and there was no way for them to have gotten out. So I wound up doing an RC (breathing test), and after a few seconds, it worked, and I became lucid.

The dream started to destabilize, so I started rubbing my hands together. I wound up closing my eyes on accident, but instead of black, I saw a bunch of floating, colored lights. I opened my eyes when I felt comfortable, and I wound up in a fancy restaurant with my parents. I felt numb all over, and still kind of "floaty", so I kept rubbing my hands until that went away. I wanted to get up and leave the building as soon as I could, so I stood up, and my mother commented on how my clothing was "inappropriate", I looked down and it was the same thing I had been wearing in the bathroom scene. I wanted to try changing my clothing, so I looked them in the eye, and said "would a suit be better, like this?", looked back down, and I was wearing a light black suit.

At that point I really wanted to leave the building to explore, but when I started to head for the exit my mom got up and grabbed me by the arm and wouldn't let go, no matter how hard I pulled away. I had the idea to set off the fire alarm to distract them and get away, but the pull station was too far away (it was in the waiters' station), I was still being held, and there were people in the way. But my desire must have influenced the dream characters, because one of the waiters went and pulled the fire alarm. I was able to pull away at this point as the alarm went off. It was a cool alarm too, voiced, went along the lines of "attention all customers, a fire has been reported in the building. Please proceed to the nearest emergency exit" followed by the usual whooping sound. All the characters started panicking and made a mad dash for the exit. I went for the front exit as well, which were glass automatic sliding doors. I noticed that in addition to the usual American exit sign, there were British style ones near the floor as well (been watching too much BBCA, I guess). I tried to get through the exit quickly, but there were too many people to get through quickly.

I managed to squeeze my way through, at which point I was awoken by my sister blasting music from the bathroom. Damn.

I just had my FIRST EVER true lucid experience. It was mostly a dream about my family and everyone jogging around town and at my dad's work at night. Then when I sat on the couch, my bracelet with the words "BRONY" on it was turned into something really weird with a bunch of random stuff on it. So I thought since my bracelet only has the words "Brony" and Rainbow Dash on it, I thought "Hey I'm dreaming!" and ran out of the house with full control at this point, and rose into the air and flew off. (and also scared some joggers along the way). It was a short experience, but I felt so free. It was the first real lucid dream I've ever had. So excited!

Well, it wasn't ACTUALLY a shared lucid, but here's what happened (so weird):

I had a DILD, but I don't remember what triggered it. But I was in my livingroom with my son, and I remember being lucid. And I was talking to Chris about lucid dreaming, and he said that HE was also lucid dreaming right now. In fact, he believed that it was HIS lucid dream and that I was just a dream character in his dream. I said "No YOU'RE a DC and this is MY dream." We finally agreed that we were both having a shared lucid dream lol. So I began instructing him on how to stabilize, and perform reality checks etc. I remember telling him to look at his hands, and I looked at mine, although mine looked fairly normal at the time. Then we got distracted because there were a bunch of dog peepee puddles on the wood floor, so I was getting towels and trying to instruct Chris to step between the puddles. Then I was like "Hold on! We're sharing an LD and I'm wasting time on pee puddles!" So I made to decision to take Chris outside and teach him to fly. Then I woke up.

Ahhhh I was so mad! I mean, I know we didn't actually share this dream (you can disagree if you want, I just don't believe in it), but I really wanted to teach Chris to fly in an LD, while the DC version of him actually believed he was lucid. I think that would have been a cool experience. Yeah it would have been even cooler if it actually WAS a shared dream, but real life Chris has no memory of it. And I don't believe it anyway. I already said that.

Oh and, I have been reading a story where these 2 people keep having shared lucid dreams, and they had the same argument "It's my dream, and you're a fabrication. Nuh uh, this is MY dream and YOU'RE the fabrication." So I blame that dream on that story. Still fun though.

Last night i finaly managed to get my 4th lucid dream after long break!

I used to do reality checks everyday and got no results, but this night somehow i was thinking that something is wrong about my surroundings... So i just thought "Wait a minute!" and yes i just got lucidity, i got exited as usually

So what i decided to do first was to reality check. I knew i was dreaming so why would i do RC?!

Cause i never did RC in a dream so i never knew how i would look like

So i tryed to push my thinger through my palm... And i was always thinking it would go through just like in to the hole or something. But in my surprise it was streching my hand like it was a gum, like sticky thing and is very flexible

So ye, was kinda nice doing RC in dream (FINALY IN DREAM NOT RL )

But after spending some time doing RC in dream, i got scared thought about some scary things, like someone was catching me and i was running...

I knew that nothing wrong can happen to me, since i had previous expieriance with scary lucid, so i could simple close my ice in dream and scream to wake up, but i didn't, i wanted to spend some more time in dream, but ye, i woke up.

But i am still glad that i had my 4th lucid dream.

I don't know if any of you have that strange feeling, like i am in dream and i am lucid, and i scream or yell something loudly and i think that my girlfriend can here me in RL, like i was talking while i am asleep, but this time i knew i was sleeping and i was contacting my girlfirend

Dream 1: Flying (Lucid)
I am in lawn of my childhood house. I can see my brother and his wife in lawn and then I am lucid now. I decided to fly and I jumped and flew then I woke up.

Well i Woke up seeing my body in bed. Now of course i realize im dreaming. I rub my hands and against the Wall but i got somehow impressed with the vividness of it and i decided i dont want to dream like OBE. So i returned my body and this feeling was weird, very realistic.

I could have explored the dream but I'm glad I made some progress.

I think I have both LD and OBE, so I guess it's pretty much the same thing

Dream 1: Tomb Rider Caves (LUCID-DILD+WBTB+awareness)
Me and my two brothers are in a cave like tomb rider caves. And we are fighting with different monsters. And finding a way out from cave. We reached a place where we thought all monsters are finished. Then we feel vibration in ground like any monster is coming. we ran down to other chamber and hiding ourselves but my brother turned on the light and a Big Man caught my brother. I ran to the door and get out to a roof of a building I jumped from one building to others. Then Suddenly I realized that this is a dream. I told my brother that dont worry its only a dream. Then I thought what to do. should I kill the monster or should I go for girls. I decided to go to girls. I am flying and going toward a girl and woke up.

Dream 1: Distorted Reflection (Lucid Using WILD+WBTB+DILD+Awareness)
I am feeling vibrations and rushing noises and feeling like entering into dream and I am aware of everything. Now I am feeling that I am in my dream laying into my bed. I am opening my eyes and I can see that i am in my childhood house. Room is full of darkness. I am getting up and thinking that is it really a dream? I want to do Reality checks. I am planning to do "fingers through hand". I tried but my fingers are not crossing my hand. finger are bend when i pushed to hand. Now I cant open my closing fingers that was strange. There are two dressing tables with two mirrors. I knew that if it is a dream then I will not be able to see my reflection in mirrors. But again it is strange. I can see my reflections in mirrors. But those reflections were distorted. I am confused. And then I woke up.

Dream 2: Accident (Lucid Using WILD+WBTB+DILD+Awareness)
I am in a car. Car is driving itself. It is very beautiful place full of mountains and greenery. Car is coming down from hills. And its kind of flying and loosing its gravity and I am like hanging in car trying to save my self from accident. Then at last my car had accident with a tree. But it wasn't painful. Car is tilt in opposite manner on road. I opened that door and came out. One car hit the door of my car and a man came out from other car and pick me up and taking me to hospital. And I am observing Environment and then i am observing the texture of coat of that man. I saw a girl in a building looking me. I asked that man leave me I dont want to go to doctor but he is not leaving me and the suddenly i saw one more child is pulling me to him I snatched myself from them and went to that building to meet that girl fro sex. But she was with her husband. her husband is trying to scare me but I am not afraid because I know this is a dream. I shifted myself into his husband and finished him and when i tried to seduce that girl suddenly my eyes opened. And I woke up.

Now that I am 20 I think it's time to try lucid dreaming again, last time I tried I must've been 16 years old..
I only successfully accomplished a LD once, If I remember correctly I wasn't really trying to do it, it just came about itself.
I was in what seemed like an Indian bazaar I think I may have been able to fly, or at least levitate a small amount. Suddenly I realized that I was in a dream and as I walked towards the bathroom my lucidity started slipping away from me. At this time I didn't know of any techniques to help me regain control of my dream..

Even though that was several years ago I still remember vividly!

Tonight is going to be the first time I attempt to have another lucid dream in several years. I know I've done it at least once in the past so I'm sure I can do it again especially since I will be consciously trying this time.

I have been reminding myself that I am not dreaming throughout the day, testing myself by looking at clocks, looking at my hands and my arms, and making sure that I can't push the tips of my fingers through the palm of my hand.

I have always found it easy to reenter a dream after suddenly waking up And usually I can continue where I left off.

Keeping my fingers crossed for tonight as it is already 12:30 in the morning!
