short lucid bit

Sitting at the bottom of my old high school's bleachers. There were people from my old church and close family friends the Bs. I was sitting in an office chair flipping through old 3x5 photos when I came across one of Seth and Amber. In the dream they had once dated. In the photo they were sitting on pool rafts, being playful and slightly sinking. There was some others barely in the pic. I noticed that Amber looked really good in her bikini. She doesn't look bad now but she has aged a little. Then I noticed Seths hair which was almost shoulder length, wavy and had a big bald spot(He has never balded).

I was sitting next to Amber and so I held out the picture and said "Hey look at this".. She made some comment about how Seth was always so proud of his hair.. to which I replied "Don't worry I remind him that he looks like a doosh." She laughed and said "Yah that's what my mom does." For some reason my brain was mixing everything up in this dream and Seth's mom was Amber's mom instead.

I laugh too and my chair scoots back about twenty feet or so and quickly whirls back to where I started. I was half pushing half floating. I thought this was a very strange thing for a chair to be able to do through sand. I asked with my brain if anyone had seen that and people in the crowd(which was different now) started to raise their hands. I looked at my hand and quickly counted five fingers. I knew I must be wrong and when I took a better look there were three small extra fingers coming out of the right side of my palm. I wasn't lucid very long before the dream faded.

Drawing of the Four
I am in my Fire Valkyrie heading for the moon. I land and wait for the dream to stabilize before deciding what I'm going to do. I remember a goal of having a Dark Tower dream with MoSh. So I open a portal with that intent. I go through the portal to the beach. On the other side the beach is really rocky. There is a door standing alone in the middle of the beach. It is attached to nothing.

There is a man tied up near the high tide mark, that must be Eddie. Detta Walker is closer to the door watching it from the side. She must be waiting for Roland. I look at the sun, which looks a little too close to setting. The so called lobstrosities will be out soon. Will Roland get back in time here? I wonder if I should intervene. I decide I will if it gets too late. I wait for a bit. Detta hasn't noticed me. She is very intent on waiting for Roland. She occasionally shouts expletives at Eddie about how he's been abandoned by that other honky mo-fo bastard. The sun is setting. It is time for Roland to come back. But I'm wondering if he is going to make it. The lobstrosities are already coming out. I decide I've waited long enough. Maybe this is why I was sent here. Something held Roland up just a few precious minutes. I head down to the beach, surprisingly Detta, who pulls a gun and tells me to stop right there. She calls me a honky hoe bitch and tells me to keep my head out of her business before she blows it off of me. I am not worried about being shot at. I continue to Eddie and use my hidden blade to cut his ropes. Detta is asking how many honky mo-fo bastards does it take to rape one little black woman with no legs. I turn after freeing Eddie and I see there are 5 Templars standing on the beach glaring at me. I ask no one in particular why every time I turn around there are Templar assholes following me around. Detta answers, saying it's because I suck on their little white candles. I tell her I wasn't asking her. One of the Templars says if I return what I have stolen and stop interfering with their plans then they'll leave me alone. A lobstrosity is approaching me. Eddie and I move away quickly. We are near another one, I stab it with my hidden blade before it can bite a piece off of me. A lobstrosity is approaching one of the Templars.

I tell them they'll want to be staying away from those things. They bite hard. One of them, the one closest to the lobstrosity, asks what the fuck it is. I tell him it's a man-eating giant lobster. It questions that, did-a-chick? He moves away, but not fast enough. The lobstrosity tears a chunk of flesh from his leg as he goes. He cries out in pain and surprise, but the injury is minor. We all move up the beach, away from the things. Detta has been yelling expletives the whole time. Now she suddenly stops and looks into the door, pauses briefly, then freaks out. Suddenly there are two of her, and Roland is back. The two... Detta and O'Detta are fighting. Roland looks to the beach where Eddie had been, noting he is gone. I want to get MoSh into this dream. The Templars are demanding their treasure back. I ignore them. I focus on a portal to find MoSh. A portal opens and I look through it. I don't see MoSh. Where is he? Roland is relieved to see Eddie is ok. A Templar is trying to push me around. I ignore him as best as I can. O'Detta is hugging Detta as Detta tries to strangle her. That positioning makes strangling a difficult task. A Templar pushes so hard I fall down. I tell him to cut it out. I get up and look through the portal. Still no MoSh. I see someone else, though. Asuka is over there. She comes to the portal. I ask her where MoSh is. She says she doesn't know. Shit. Why didn't my portal lead to MoSh? Detta and O'Detta are embracing. They blend to one woman. The Templars are getting annoyed at being ignored. I am annoyed at not finding MoSh. Roland is talking to O'Detta / Detta, who is now going by Susanna. Susanna says Roland has saved her and kisses him. Eddie is saying at least Roland bothered saving one of them. But as long as Eddie is safe. I feel I am waking up. I decide to have another Dark Tower dream this night. I decide to do a basic task of the month before I wake. I grab a Templar and ask him to pick a number between 1 and 100, thinking of the number 22. He looks confused then finally says 72. I tell him he is wrong, no prizes awarded today. The Templar just stares at me. One of the other Templars says I will take him to the item I stole. He throws his arms around me. I turn around at the last minute so I am facing him. I say I didn't realize how much he cares… and hug him back. The look on his face tells me he was expecting to get stabbed, and he is clearly relieved that it didn’t happen. I am waking up. Roland calls to me not to go, but I can't help it. I feel the Templar get violently ripped from my arms as I wake up.

Drawing of the Five
I am in my own house, though it doesn't look quite like normal. I am not lucid. I look out the window and see that there are many workers out there. I have the idea they are going to destroy all the desert around our house. I don't like that. I tell my mother to stop the work because it will destroy the desert. She doesn't seem to care. I go outside to see if they will listen to me. When I get out there I see the workers are gone, but there are Templars there. Templars? I never see Templars in my waking life… I pinch my nose and find I can still breathe. I become lucid. One of the Templars is about to say something, but I interrupt him. I tell them they are great dream signs, thanks! This could've been a wasted dream. I remember that I wanted to run another Dark Tower dream and see if I can find MoSh this time. So I open a portal with focus of finding MoSh. A portal opens and I see MoSh standing outside the house in his inner world. A Templar asks if the treasure is over there. I say no, it's not. If he must know, it's in the hands of the greatest genius in the reality. I go through the portal and shut it in the Templars' faces. I go over to MoSh. I tell him it's time for a Dark Tower dream. I open another portal to get to the Dark Tower world. On the other side I see Susanna, Eddie, and Roland.

Eddie sees me and says I hadn't given him time to thank me for saving him. Roland looks sick, I don't remember noticing that earlier. I think there couldn't be anything wrong with healing his infection… so I go over to Roland and focus some healing energy into Roland. The infection is quickly brought under control. Roland now has a bag of useless antibiotics. He says he knows who I am. He said I am the Raven that he had been told about, a mysterious woman in white robes (I am in my Assassin outfit) with golden hair that is called the Raven. I tell him yeah, that's my name. Raven Knight. And this is… I turn to find MoSh, but he has wandered off. He is walking down the beach towards the tide mark. I also see some Templars. I roll my eyes and go over to MoSh. I tell him he can just ignore the Templars if he wants. Roland looks at MoSh and says he was told about him, too. Told he was a gunslinger… Roland hands him a gun, though not one of his big revolvers, and says he wants to see how MoSh can shoot. MoSh shoots a lobstrosity on the beach, hitting it right in the head and cutting its question short. Dud-a-BLAM! He then shoots three of the Templars right in the head, perfect shots right between the eyes. The other two Templars disappear quickly. Roland says MoSh is definitely the one he had been told about. MoSh looks over at Roland, who says he believes we will all play a role in finding the tower. I find myself hoping the Templars don't screw things up. I ask Roland where we go now, which way to the tower. I say I want to see that place, too. Roland says he knows what direction to head in. I figure on following him for a while in this dream but instead I wake up.

im in my house and i walk out side with my dad he says hey look theres a dead guy here a dead guy i say i turn to see him pulling out a bald skinny naked man i queckly relise this mut be a dream i do a RC it works i put my hands together and say stablize this seems to break my dream world so i run and jump over the fence and say here we go i start to wake up so i try to stay still and go back in i go back to sleep not lucid

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

I'm hiking some forested mountains with a group of some 10 people. It's almost dark and we feel a bit lost. We just descended from a mountain and we arrived at a clearing. There's a path going through another mountain but we're not sure we can go across before it's dark. Some want to go back, others are sure there's a village just minutes on the second path, so in the end we camp at the clearing. Soon after it gets dark, we're surrounded by some strange fellas. Their leader kinda hypnotizes us, telling us we're we're all going to a better place, full of love. I only regain some awareness when we're on board of some kind of flying ship. I can see we're flying over the forest, which strangely has the shape of a heart. I guess I'm hallucinating due to the mind control. I fight back and they realize I'm becoming aware. So, two men hold me down and one stitches my mouth with a needle and a thread, while another tries to stitch my hands to my seat. I fight the pain by realizing this is but a dream and soon it doesn't hurt a thing, although I feel it.
Then some gap in my memory, but later on I am with the whole group behind me, we've escaped to the nearest town.
We hide at some underground tunnels under a market, but in the morning we have to go, because there's a grid over our heads and in the daylight we can be seen by those above us. But when we try to get out, we see groups of men in black that we immediately know belong to that gang and we're sure they are looking for us. I suggest we must split up because together there's no way we can escape. But some don't want to. While we discuss strategies, the men in black open the entrance to
the underground and we run for our lives. I escape into the crowd, but some of them are caught.

The sound of the alarm wakes me up and I hear that it is raining. I head toward the bedroom window to open it and I decide to leave it ajar. I can see small pools of water in the garden. Then I go into the kitchen where my mom is making breakfast, but my mom does not live with me, she does not cook anymore and also she lives in Cuba. I was not sure if I was dreaming so instead of making a reality check I went to the window of my room and saw that it was locked , That convinced me that I was dreaming. (That was wrong on my part because..... What would have happened if the window had been closed? )

As in much of my dreams, I was barefoot and covered only by a sheet, but I did not care because I was dreaming..I went to the back of the house and instead of a lake what was there was a huge swamp. I head into some of the houses surrounding the lake and knock on the door of one of them.
I notice that there is no sync between the sound of knocking and the time of actually hearing the sound. Inside the house there are three children and I decide to leave. Outside there is an expanse of deep green trees but nothing out of the ordinary happens. I try to make contact with people but all are elusive.

I was going skydiving with my mates, but it was somehow from the skytower. I was really scared, as I'm scared of heights.
When we go to the top bit, I was somehow picked up by the wind and flung against one of the walls. I was so scared, I was shouting to my friends to give me a hand. Two of them stretched out their hands, and one after the other, as soon as I got close to grabbing their hand, they pulled it away and laughed.
Then the wall I was flung against broke, so I was blown out into the open. At this point I became Lucid!
(The feeling of falling is a dream sign for me) so I started to fly around. I flew down and just before I hit the ground I pulled up. Can't remember anything after that.

This lucid was long enough that I became legitimately concerned about remembering it. This worry wound up being a bit of a downfall, but it still took me in interesting directions.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #57: Gladius and Darkness

I'm experiencing deja vu as I walk through an airport terminal, sure that I've dreamed of this place before. I note all of these little details that I believe my mind left out of the dream version of this place -- the color of the carpeting, the man arguing at the ticket counter, the way that the ceiling curves into a dome in this room. Then I hear the sound of hurried little footsteps. Someone tells me "E is looking for you!" (E is my oldest son.) Now I'm lucid.

I hear E shout playfully from somewhere further down the terminal: "Looking for Daaaaddy!" I know that we're playing hide and seek. I eagerly set off, loving the idea of playing like this in an LD. I move through the terminal and wind up in a series of twisting, narrow office hallways. Other children run by me, possibly engaged in their own games of hide and seek.

As I'm moving through these hallways, a little hand swipes the back of my leg and E declares, "I got Daaaaddy!" I move toward E to scoop him up but he laughs and runs in the opposite direction. I follow but almost immediately I've lost him in the hallways.

I wind up back in the airport terminal and wander through there a while longer before coming to a craft table. Wife is standing at this table wearing a smock and molding some sort of clay. I walk up to the table but she doesn't acknowledge me. I grab a piece of clay and tell her, "I'm having a lucid dream." She responds in essence that I should "show her" what that means. (I don't remember her exact words.)

As I begin molding the clay, it starts foaming and fizzing until the entire surface is covered in a layer of foam. I wipe the foam away bit by bit and underneath is a carved image of a human face. Wife looks astonished. I tell her, "I'm telling you, being lucid is the way to go."

She hands me a round piece of glass. "Make me a picture of a Christmas tree." I nod, take the glass from her, and rub my hand across it once. Instead of a Christmas tree, I produce a little stained glass picture of an eye.

Wife looks at it. "Nice. But that's not a Christmas tree. I thought you said you were having a lucid dream."

A bit baffled, I shrug and say, "I don't know what to tell you." She goes back to her crafts and I walk further along in the airport terminal. I'm loving the experience of being lucid again and I suddenly fret that I'll forget everything that's happened. I try to recall everything that's happened up to this point, but this destabilizes the scene. Everything collapses into darkness.

I remember that Xanous had talked about handling "dark scenes" by acting out some action like riding a bike or running. I want to perform a Task of the Year, so I will myself to have a gladius in my hand. (The gladius is a sword of ancient Rome.) I swing the sword back and forth in the darkness, imagining that I'm locked in a dark tunnel underneath the Colosseum. I can hear the crowd now, and I know that the gates will open any moment to let me out for my match. I'm nervous with anticipation. I try to remember whether I have to kill for this task, and think that I do.



I see a blob of light forming in the corner of my vision. I'm filled with fear and nervous tension. But just as I'm bursting with anticipation, the crowd noise dies down and the blob of light forms into a high window in the hallway of a university. My vision is badly distorted around the edges, almost as if I'm wearing a shredded contact lens.

The window is about 15 feet above me, and I float up to it to start phasing through the glass. The phasing is difficult and awkward. It feels like I'm dragging my body through thick plastic wrap. I finally make it through and then I'm flying over a park in the mid-afternoon. The dream feels thin now, and I fly only a short distance before waking up.

Pre-bed mild alcohol consumption
WBTB - 3:30AM
Ultra low dose of caffeine <=25MG, 200MG B6
Changed location to recliner to WILD. Failed.

Was on the verge of a DILD. I was becoming analytical when I was awakened by a crying baby at almost 4:40AM. Yep right at peek time. I think the dose was low enough to stay asleep that time too. I was very groggy.

Back to bed at 5:45AM.
Wife's alarm goes off at 6:00. I lye perfectly still and wait for DEILD. Nothing happened right away so I started to recall the dream. I slip back into sleep. Curious thing here. Perhaps I am not giving enough time to DEILD. If it doesn't happen right away I give up. Next time, I will wait at least a few minutes if I can. The problem is that I am certain to lose the dream recall if I attempt DEILD and there is no guarantee that I will hit DEILD. I have fallen back into non-lucid dream with zero recall while failing DEILD. I suppose its worth trying a few night a week even if it kills recall. 1 lucid is worth 100 non lucids.

So, I fall back to sleep non-lucid but I end up having a very brief DILD. The fact that it was so short is due to the fact that I temporarily chose to give up lucidity as a way to keep the current dream going. I was actually trying to postpone my awareness for just a bit but I lost concentration for obvious reasons.

Wife's Doppelgänger

Since the alarm went off I was thinking my wife turned it off and got into the shower. I can hear the shower water running. But when I roll over I see my wife lying next to me. For whatever reason we begin to have sex.

In the throws of passion I wonder about the woman in the shower. How can my wife be there and here. Something about her feels off. Not physically but more like an extra sense of discerning. I almost felt like I was cheating on her with someone that looks like her while she was just in the next room. Then I think, "Of course, I am dreaming!"

At that instant the dream goes black. I really didn't want what was happening to end so I acted on instinct instead of thinking straight. I let go of my awareness a bit. I said, "No no no no no.. OK not yet. I don't have to be lucid now. Afterwards I will be lucid."

The dream resumes and we pick up were we left off.
I briefly wonder what the interruption was but have no memory of being lucid. I dismiss it with other explanations.

Afterwards, This version of my wife disappears and I have a FA. I think I about the dream I just had and get out of bed. I hear my wife get out of the shower and lay back down pretending to be asleep. She asks me rather disgusted, "What were you doing?"
"Nothing. Why?"
She walks around the bed and picks up a towel. "What were you doing with my towel? Look at it. It's a mess"
Embarrassed, I think I must have humped the towel in my sleep.

I jump and sit straight up when my wifes snooze alarm goes off. I am shocked to see her next to me in bed still.

LONG, LONG LUCID DREAM

It was 4 am in the morning and the dream began in the same way my last lucid dreams have started

I have the feeling that I'm being dragged back from ny head and then I feel that the bed rotates clockwise. Suddenly (without any respect for my person ) I am thrown to the ground. Lying on the floor I begin fighting an entity that tries to keep me from moving. I do not see it but I can feel it. . All I can do is try to bite it. I choose to keep quiet and then the entity fades. Then I get up and head for the door of the room . This time I choose to go out using the back of the house and into a lake. Since I know I'm dreaming I jump into the water. I can walk on the water without sinking and I can hear the sound of water and feel it on my feet. I leave the lake and notice that it is dark and it strikes me that if I use a flashlight I could see better. . The flashlight works effectively. I can see quite far from the lake. The dream continues for a long time, I go to the neighbors but the people inside are alien. Finally decided to finish the dream and wake up. It lasted 20 minutes more or less.

I think maybe this is the second time becoming lucid since I made this account, could actually be the first . I normally have a lot of lucid dreams but it just didn't happen until the morning of yesterday. I am walking in a desert and am half lucid until I spot this hidden path. I think I want to explore this way then I notice I can control myself and become fully aware of my lucidity. I start off down this path with rocks assorted out like a small pathway. There is miles of nothing just desert around me, with some huge rocks in the distance. I see this path lead to a way to climb up a mountain in front of me, and there is a waterfall coming down it as well along the way. I can't wait to start off my journey and I wake up shortly after. I am still sleepy so I close my eyes to go into another scenario. I do the HI thing and an image of a corner of a room and a ceiling shows up with the wallpaper peeling off the wall. I am fully focused and go into it and am on a couch now looking up at that exact spot I was picturing. I sit up and notice the room I am in is almost too small for a normal human being, having to duck my head a bit. I try rubbing my hands together to bring some clarity which sort of works at first. I think it is good enough and get up off the couch. I look down in front of me and see a small brown dog lying there. I lose focus and it goes black. I go back into another one and am in a battle zone. It starts off like an online war game would and we all disperse at the same time to go out into battle. I fly up onto a house with a woman lying on her side. A small inappropriate scene happens and I wake up. I try to go into another one which almost works. I see the image of where I want to go which is out in the woods with a huge electricity tower thing in the background. I am planning a nature walk but I don't have enough focus to go into it and lose it pretty quickly.

I then go out of LD mode and go into some normal dreams.
I wake up in living room and see mom with someone else's baby in her hands so I go back to my room. Mom meets me back there asking me what type of pizza I want showing me this piece of pizza with the texture of what looks like a carpet design. I wake up IRL wondering if I actually came back to my room realizing that I slept in my bed like normal. I try to go back to sleep and have some weird hallucinations. I see them almost as if I didn't even fall asleep, directly upon closing my eyes. I see a kid get up in my face in one next to my bed. Wake then see a hand feel my forehead. I see another one of a person next to me checking my health like a doctor all only for a very short amount of time as they disappear seconds upon seeing them. I think they are the visual hallucinations you get from sleep paralysis even though I didn't go into SP as I seemed aware and awake when they happened. Then I fell asleep for realz. I was in my room and Levi had his bong. I told him not to smoke it with my door being wide open and it being daytime. He persists saying we won't get caught, which was totally fucking stupid to me. He hits it anyway and I'm pissed. I hide in my bathroom hiding all my shit expecting to be in serious trouble anytime now. It switches to me being in bed and there is a bag of weed laying on the bed next to me. Mom walks in and I do a horrible job at trying to keep it from site with my dream journal which I also keep on bed.

Dream skip

I am with Levi at my house and we are by ourselves when suddenly we hear a Razor motor vehicle thing driving outside. There are three guys on it. There start running into the side of the house purposely trying ti fuck it up. We go out back and then they are in the house and they have guns. We go to grab Levi's guns and I grab a chainsaw. There are two booths with security officers in them out of nowhere and they are calling police. The police take away my chainsaw. I wake up at some point.

I somehow achieve lucidity again and am in my house. I walk up to the refrigerator and look at one of the pictures on there. It shows a woman with a weird look on her face and I take it off the refrigerator door. I see both of my brothers as DCs. I show them the picture and they think it is weird to. Wake up.

I keep on waking up at Levi's house, I literally believe I am staying there for the day as I spent the whole day there, until we went to bed in the dream. We are wanting to make something to eat. I had this box of shrimp that I brought over and I see there is only seven left. We are bummed out, I say we can mix it in with something else. Then all of the sudden we look in box and there are shrimp in all four corners, one on both sides directly from each other in the middle, and one sitting directly in the middle of all the shrimp making another seven pieces. We are then psyched and then split the shrimp. I remember dropping one on the floor and I tried to hurry and pick it up. Those are all the details from it. Other than that I am glad I finally experienced some lucidity once again.

-First lucid fragment? I realize I am dreaming on a beach and proceed to touch a palm and spin a little to stabilize it. It works, but is not very effective. I look at my hands, and shortly after that the dream collapses. It was no more than a few seconds. Wai. Is this the way it works for first lucids more often? PM me please!
-Watching a TV show where a big pterodactylus throws a little rhino onto a smaller pterodactylus that was laying on the ground.
-A girl strokes my leg. Then I kicked her. What.
-I am in the testing room from the Incredibles movie. It faded to black, so I probably died.

I started off having some kind of anxiety dream about being late for school or something. When I arrived at school, I knew something was fishy about the situation because this has been such a common dream for me.
I do a nose-plug reality check, and find out I can breathe. I do it again, and confirm that I am, in fact dreaming. At this point, I was in my high school's parking lot and it was very foggy. (Not in that the dream itself was unstable, but the area was realistically foggy)
I began to go about my business. I tried to stabilize, and I yelled out "I'm lucid dreaming!"
A dream character turned around. "Oh, No you dont!" He yelled as he ran at me. He was a pale and thin man, quite a bit taller than me in a black leather coat. He had short black hair.
He tried to punch me, but (being lucid) I kicked him in the chest and sent him flying back several feet. He pulled out a knife and ran towards me again. He tried to stab me in the left shoulder, but the knife broke when it hit me.
Another dream character showed up, quite a bit younger with dirty blonde hair in a sort of bowl cut. I just stood there to see what they would do. The black haired man took out a handgun and started shooting at me. I looked down in front of me and saw the bullets hitting my body and falling on the pavement.
The blonde man opened the trunk of a red car and took out an assault rifle, something like an AK-47 or something. He handed it to the black haired man. "Here! Try this!"
Sure enough he started shooting me. The bullets were just falling on the ground and I was confident these DCs would just give up eventually. I didn't realize that I was losing stability.
The Blonde man reached into the trunk again and took out an RPG. He handed it off to the black-haired man who shot it at me. I held up my hand and sort of caught the blast in my palm, deflecting the explosion away from me.
I woke up.

Sort of sucks that I just stood there. But at the same time, funny to see DCs fail at killing me.

LUCID
*Lama Dorjee takes me to sukhavati!
I become lucid using wbtb/mild. I realize I am dreaming standing the kitchen making popcorn. I proceeded walking outside calmly so that I won't wake up. My goal was to meet up with my Guru and ask to be taken to sukhavati. I tried opening one of the apartment doors on the second floor expecting him to be therer but he wasn't. The apartment appeared dark and spooky. I made it to gound level and notice this blue suv pulling into the parking lot. I knew this had to be Lama dorjee and then he got out of the car looked at me without moving for a moment. I started to laugh because I was so amazing how real this was. I helped him take all bags out of the car and while doing so I asked him can you take me to sukhavati. Then he responded let's go! We started to fly up and dissolve into white space. I rested in the white space for a while with out waking up.

*Deity yoga in CVS.
I realized I was dreaming while being in this CVS. This blonde girl with beautiful blue caught my attention. I thought about sex but didn't wanna get distracted from my goal. I stood in the middle in the of CVS and started to float in the lotus posture. Lucky I was in front of a window so I could actually see my self transform. One of the people in CVS commented, can he actually do that! I transformed fully into chenrezik and by this time CVS was gone and I was not floating on a actual lotus over a clear pure blue ocean. I felt that I was entering another dimension and started to experience fear for some reason. (According to the teaching it's not good to tell your experiences but no one knows who I am so I think it will be ok, hopefully this will bring inspiration to others who practice dream yoga under a qualified teacher.)

I'm just playing catch-up here a little bit. These are the dreams I have recorded from the past couple of weeks that I haven't uploaded yet.

#1 - Hmm [Non-Lucid]

I was in a bed in a dark room with A, this girl that I know through some friends that one of them has a crush on, and T, a different friend's old roommate. T wasn't very involved, I could just hear him moving around. I was giving A a full-body massage. Afterwards we all got up and walked to a classroom, which was just down the hall from the room we were in. Hmm.

#2 - Kenny Dies [DILD]

Most of this dream is blurry in my memory now, but I remember it starting with me, my old friend D, and Kenny from South Park all being chased by someone. We were going through some obstacle course connected to a mall or something and we were trying to escape from a room that was filling up with water before it was too late. At one point D and I turned around and saw Kenny floating in the water, having drowned. D looked shocked and said "Oh my god, they killed Kenny!" I jumped up and said "You bastards!!" I tried to go after him but D pulled me away, and then my memory gets hazy again.... The next thing I remember is walking outside the mall in the parking lot and becoming lucid. There was some cool pattern in the clouds, but I can't remember what it was now. I decided to walk through the mall and gathered up a crowd of DCs around me all chanting a mantra of stability with me, something like "this dream is long, vivid, and solid". While we were walking around I was also picking up various pieces of furniture in the store effortlessly with one hand and hurling them across the store. I was really worked up and this girl next to me did part of the chant wrong, so I looked over and said "No!" and shoved her headfirst into a glass wall. It didn't break, she just hit it really hard and then fell over. When I saw that it was actually someone I know and like in waking life I felt bad, and I picked her up and sat her down on a chair to see if she was alright. After that I started getting kind of unfocused and the dream ended.

#3 - Too Much Energy [DILD]

The main thing I remember about this dream is that I was pissed when I realized it wasn't real, because it was going really well. I became lucid around the time I was doing all these crazy calculated flips around this huge auditorium that were really fun and impressive as hell, and then when I realized what was going on I just had endless amounts of energy. I got really unfocused and just started grabbing stuff and throwing it all over the place until I woke up.

#4 - Back Once Again [DILD]

I was back at my old middle school with O and we were visiting our old orchestra teacher Mr. L. Afterwards we somehow got lost in the crowd and became part of the student body there, so we started trying to find our English class that we were supposed to head to next. We realized that we needed to pick our schedules first, so we started walking to the office and on the way we saw an old friend of ours wearing this cute sweater that I own that looked totally weird on him. X) We were also on the second floor of the building and I could see a tower of people stacked on top of each other coming up and leaning in our direction from the first floor visible beyond the railing. >_> Around this time I became lucid, and I ran into the girl M in the hallway who I haven't seen at least since we graduated high school but who I knew since kindergarten. I walked up to her and said "Hey, girl." She came up to me and I grabbed her and ripped her shirt down and started groping her and kissing her neck, but I got a little too into it and the dream faded away.

I took 50 mg of zinc at dinner the night that this next dream happened. I like to think that it had an effect.

#5 - More Summoning And Possession Practice [DILD]

There was some weird school stuff going on this dream before my memory really cuts in. The first thing I really recall is becoming lucid while packing up my stuff in a dark room. I wasn't immediately lucid enough to break out of this action at first, so I started repeating a mantra "electricity works in dreams" while I kept trying to turn on the lights and use my cell phone light to help me find stuff. It worked to an extent, and some of the lights showed up or got brighter if they were already on. My cat was also in the room with me but walked out it and down the school hallway at some point. I decided to walk out to the hall myself and followed it down to a large open area in a very fancy hotel-type building. There was also a large window spanning several stores to the left of us that was visible because every floor ended in a balcony. I decided to fly forward and grabbed a sofa with people sitting on it with my right hand as I passed by it, and I phased us through the window. Outside I could see groups of people eating dinner at tables below us, and I chucked the couch at one of them and then just moved on without even really watching what happened. I flew higher up to where there was a rooftop balcony with no covering and saw a family eating dinner or something. I decided that I wanted to see if I could summon a whole group of people, so I flew a ways over to the next rooftop thinking that I wanted to see a small group of gossiping women. When I got there it worked perfectly, there were four women in classy dressed gossiping about something at a table, and they didn't seem to take notice of me. I decided to possess one of them but it didn't go completely smoothly, and the other women started looking at me (as her) and asking if I was alright, I was making weird faces trying to adjust the feeling. I finally started getting situated but then my libido started ramping up and it woke me up. Man, if I could just control that feeling without waking up more often....

That's it for now!

My second lucid dream.

Method:
I began by trying to WILD. I was unsuccessful, and stopped, but somehow managed to otherwise retain consciousness when I tried to go to normal sleep. As I was lying in my bed, I recognized sleep paralysis; I tried to move my foot slightly and I couldn't. I was over the moon! I used the knowledge that I was in SP to enter a dream, and as with my previous LD, i found myself in my bedroom.

Dream:
As soon as I was in the dream, I instantly ran from my bedroom and dived down the staircase. I landed smoothly near the door, but smashed a window and walked out onto the grass. Although the dream felt real, it was not as real or as vivid as I would have liked. I tried shouting 'increase lucidity now!' and 'increase clarity now!' but there wasn't much of an effect. I then jumped up and was instantly flying. I fly with both arms straight ahead, hands closed in a fist, kind of superman style. I flew up over houses and fields, getting faster and faster, and it felt amazing! I went up next through the clouds, still gaining speed. I was almost in space now. I decided that I needed to land somewhere and begin an adventure. I slowly flew down and decelerated, and surrendered control of where I was flying so as to make a more random decision.

I ended up in front of a gigantic glass and cream brick skyscraper, which was completely isolated in a desert. I flew up to one of the windows and broke it, then flew inside. There was a syndicate of businessmen inside having a meeting. They did not take too much notice of me. Some guards were coming up so I knew I had to escape, but I could not find a glass window large enough. It did not cross my mind to go through the wall, so I flew down the stairs. Once I was certain that I was safe, I decided to do something else. I decided to do something which I have feared doing in a dream, especially a lucid one; to look in a mirror. I convinced myself that there was a mirror around the corner, and there was. As I approached it, I could feel my heart beating (not sure if it was my real heart or the heart of my dream body) and I felt incredibly sick. I looked at my reflection. It looked just like me, but with a wider nose. My face kept shifting and contorting. It was nowhere near as bad as I had thought it would be, and was proud to have conquered my fear on only my second lucid. After this, I flew out of the building and the dream slowly faded. I woke up.

PS. it's snowing today!
