lucid

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lucid

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.

When I went back to sleep this morning I had a decent lucid.

Lucidity- 8
Vividness- 8
Control - 7

My friends and I are at a store. We go in and end up stealing something to drink.
Dream skip
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.

11/1/2013

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.

Had a nice sense of freedom in this one, which left me feeling liberated enough to do Basic Task of the Month. This one was light and fun the entire way through, and even my flight malfunctions didn't get me too upset.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #55: Number Games and Ninja

Wife and I are seated on the floor with a dozen or so small children. The kids are probably 5 or 6 years old, but for some reason we're all taking a Japanese class together. We're working on a craft project while some unseen teacher barks simple instructions which Wife and all of the little kids easily follow. Not me, though. I'm fumbling around trying to glue something onto a paper plate and looking like quite the idiot.

The kids titter at my ineptitude. Wife shoots me a look of disbelief. The unseen teacher bellows more instructions and again I'm the only one who's not getting it. It's all really embarrassing and I think, "Well, I'd better hope this is all a dream. Because otherwise, this is humiliating." I use the nose pinch RC and become lucid.

Wife seems to have vanished, so I walk out of the room while the class continues to work. I seem to be in some kind of apartment, and I turn down a short hallway into a semi-dark, rather sparse bedroom. My friend "Leroy" is wandering around in here and I say, "Hey, [Leroy]! It's another lucid dream!" He ignores me, though, and seems to be looking for something.

A large window overlooks a nighttime city scene. It looks like we're about 10 stories up. I phase through the glass and step out onto a ledge, preparing to fly. I leap away from the building, ready to take to the sky... and give a little yelp as I plummet to the street below. I land pretty softly, narrowly missing a parked car. I relax my mind for a moment and then take to the air again.

I'm flying over a huge, grassy field that I think is supposed to be this city's equivalent of Central Park. The grass is short and extremely well-manicured. Golf course grass. Even though it's night, the park itself is strangely well-lit, and a few DCs are wandering through it. I see a couple of fancy archways and a miniature replica of the Arc de Triomphe.

Most interestingly of all, I see a ninja crouched behind a boulder, hiding in the shadows. Perhaps another forty feet away, there's an Imperial Stormtrooper and a man dressed like a World War I-era pilot searching carefully around the park, presumably looking for the ninja.

I remember the Task of the Month -- have a DC guess a number between 1 and 100. I swoop down to where the ninja is hiding and say, "Hey! I'm thinking of a number from 1 to 100. Guess what it is." The ninja seems horrified to see me. He presses his palms to the sides of his head, in disbelief that I would so bumblingly blow his cover. He points excitedly behind me at the Stormtrooper and the pilot. Guess they really are looking for him. "Oh, I see!" I tell him. "Sorry about that. Let me ask them instead."

I'm worried that the Stormtrooper will sound too garbled, so I address the World War I-era pilot. "Hey! I'm thinking of a number from 1 to 100. What is it?"

He thinks for a moment. "22?"

It occurs to me that I didn't actually think of a number from 1 to 100. I feel like a bit of a dummy. Okay, 38. 38 38 38. "Hey, man, sorry about that. I forgot to think of a number before I asked. Will you guess again?"

He pauses. Then a slightly sheepish guess of "Uh... 23?"

"No, but that's okay. Thanks!" The pilot and the Stormtrooper move toward the boulder, but I see that the ninja is long gone. The Stormtrooper growls something angry and garbled and I think how glad I am that I didn't try to play the guessing game with him.

I wander the park a bit more. The sun has apparently started to rise because it looks like early morning now. The number of DCs has picked up. I know that there's something I should be doing in New York, but I can't remember the task. (Task I was trying to think of: Transform into King Kong, climb the Empire State Building, and battle the military.) I think it's Task of the Year, but I incorrectly believe that there's something I should be doing in Central Park. I turn a corner past a food vendor, and rub my hands together. It doesn't feel as real as I'd expect. Things feel like they're slipping and I wake up.

I dream't I was travelling to the airport with my sister and her children. I stopped by a supermarket to collect some cider.

I then proceeded to the car park where we had parked the car; it was next to a large swampy pool of water. On the edge of the swampy puddle was a pair of giant spiders, that had some features of a crab (like a crusty head and armoured legs). They were completely still, my sister said something I can't quite remember what and the spider on the right started to move and get up from its slumber it. Before now I had not properly realised what it was. Then it suddenly leaped toward me with fangs out. Just as it got half a meter away from me and it froze mid lunge, I could see it's fangs directed toward my leg.

I am not certain but I think that this shocked me so much that I stopped it from happening. I then woke up realising that I had frozen it because it was just a dream.

Feel free to comment your interpretations.

I am walking towards my workplace. It is a fast food restaurant, but I don't have my supplies. I am walking in a decent sized alleyway, big enough for a couple cars to fit in. It is behind the restaurant. I see a worker from somewhere else on the job maybe. I jack his cleaning spray bottle and his trash bag. I start walking into work. I remember I don't really work much. My grandma is there who plays in a band (IRL). She holds my guitar for me which I also play IRL. I play sometimes in the restaurant when I am taking a break. I remember her showing me around and we get to the front desk. There is a small tin can full of cannabis and there is keif (pure THC crystals) all over the the counter, literally covered. She tells me that it is keif and I get excited. I think I am supposed to clean it but we pass it up. Then somewhere near the end of my dream a couple guys who heard me play come up and talk to me. They want to offer me $2300 for a record deal. Another guy gets up from a table and offers me $2500. Another guy gets up wanting to offer me money. A shootout begins by one of them (who actually looks just like my friend Brandon who owns a lot of nice guns). I try to stop him but he runs backwards and shoots up my left hand side. One bullet hits me in the shoulder, another in the lower gut and one more in pelvic bone all on my left side. I wake up somewhere around there.

At some point I go back to sleep into this same restaurant dream scene. I am sitting at a table and I look down at this bag that has these shoes that I remember jacking from the first part of the dream that I can't remember now. I now realize that it is a dream and become lucid. I get up from the table and hear a couple of kids screaming about a car jacking going on out side. I look and see it happen and they drive off. I continue to walk around the restaurant to look around. I see employees walking around. I walk to the back and see a kids toy dispenser. It kind of reminds me of a real life fast food place. I walk over to the counter and check behind and see everybody working. I decide to go outside and check it out. I see a bunch of kids all beside the restaurant who are dressed up in costumes. It is night time and there is a lot of kids. I decide to go back into the restaurant when I wake up sometime around there. I wish I would've tried to do more.

DILD

I am in some apartment that I believe to be Mohammed's. I am trying to WILD but I keep getting disturbed. I eventually realize that this isn't Mohammed's so it must be a dream.The next time I am roused I RC. I was able to breathe through my nose, but it took me a little longer than normal to realize that is the dream response. I head downstairs, trying to decide what to do.

I head to an enclosed front porch area, and I see someone sitting in a chair. I decide I want to ask him some deep questions. He is sitting next to a TV, which I don't pay any attention to. He had short dark hair and was sitting cross legged. He seemed fairly intelligent. I get halfway through my first question when I realize he is gone. I look over to the TV and he is on it! He is a field goal kicker, going for a last second win. He shanks the kick pretty badly and they lose. Ethan shows up and is complaining because he had that guy in fantasy. I head towards the back door. The walls are made of wood and are covered in pictures.

The dream restarts and I am in a pool. It is fairly crowded. I had remembered my last dream where I went to do something real in the dream, so I thought it would be okay for me to look for a girl now. I go over to the edge and there is a girl and her sister. I say she looks very cute, and she says my neck looks cute. They continue the conversation as I poke her under the water with my Poseidon Staff. She quietly nods to me. I start playing with her underwater, trying to appear normal above water. A waitress comes over and asks if we want anything. She starts ordering as I am still playing with her. She is trying (poorly) to hold back pleasure-faces while speaking to the waitress.

I FA in a bed in some weird studio flat. I am trying to write down my past two dreams in my DJ. My mom keeps interrupting and talking about some travel books that are laying next to the bed also. There is a TV on the other side of my. Colbert has the Gorillaz as a musical guest. O' Green World starts playing, and my mom keeps talking over it. I get upset with her.

The sensation during transition was slightly different than normal. More adrenaline than vibrations. Solely in core of body. (Possible false-WILD but failed test.) I had been reading on consciousness/awareness that day so I was prepared for it.

I was laying on my side. I felt pretty focused, so when I felt some strange lightness, it didn't phase me. It was kind of like an adrenaline feeling in the chest. I tried to merely be an observer of my body state. After it faded, I didn't feel anything abnormal. I tried to make my body float without moving. It didn't work. The lightness returned for another round and I continued to wait.

I was suddenly on the street outside of Connor's house. The dream was pretty unstable so I sat down in some grass and felt it for a second. I reached into my pocket, looking for a lucid pill. I pulled out a dead leaf (I had taken a dead leaf off one of our plants IRL that day). I reached in again and found an oddly shaped pill. It had a bit of an abscess, making it lop-sided. I broke it open and took it. My vision cleared up a bit. I reached in for another. It felt normal this time. I broke it open and took it. My vision cleared up pretty good. I stood up and turned around in the street. I remember walking forward and having some goal in mind. I am not sure how far I got toward that goal because I lost memory of it.

The dream restarts in the same place. I had remembered my "real" goal in the previous dream so I thought it would be okay to try and find a girl. I see someone lounging on the stoop of some house. I go over and we fool around.

I was driving in a car, I'm not sure what kind, down a large hill on a long, winding road. There were a few cars coming from the other direction and for some reason I thought there wasn't many for this time of day, it must've been rush hour or something. As I came to a bend in the road I looked over the guard rail overlooking a large cliff with a huge city in the valley below. I turned to my sister who was in the passenger seat and said, "We're almost there." We must've been going to whatever city that was. As we turned the corner I noticed temporary dividers in the middle of the road, like they would put down for construction, but nobody was working on the road. There weren't even any vehicles. As we continued down the road I noticed that there seemed to be an awful lot of police cars, the majority of whom were pulling people over. I wasn't speeding so I thought I was fine.

I distinctly remember passing a small, deep purple sedan with a cop standing next to the door. He was leaning into the car trying to reach something in the passenger seat. I didn't know what it was or why he was doing it but I continued on driving glad it wasn't me pulled over. Right as I thought this I saw blinking lights in my rear-view mirror; Damn, why me!? I continued around the next curve and pulled over to the side of the road. The officer got out of his car and had a very large hat on, much like troopers often wear but much bigger. He started walking towards our car and I began to get nervous. When he got to our car he didn't stop, he just kept on walking past us. He went around the next bend and when I looked behind me the cop car was gone. I looked over the edge of the cliff that the road weaved down and could see the officer standing at the bottom looking up at me. He winked.

For some reason this bumped me into lucidity. I'm not quite sure why but I didn't really question it; I was glad to have ended my dry spell and did a quick clock check for a RC. At first it said 3:17, pretty normal. I looked away and turned back to it. This time it said 9:62. Perfect, this was definitely a dream. I got out of the car and rubbed my hands together, not wanting to waste my first LD in a couple weeks. I asked my sister who was still sitting in the passenger seat and had been silent the whole time what I should do. She looked at me and said, "Weren't you asked to do some tasks or something?" Ah-ha! The TotY! The first one that came to mind was the Colosseum one but for whatever reason I decided against it. The next one that popped into my head was Africa, riding the great sphinx and fixing its nose.

I got back into the car and decided I would try a different way of getting there instead of just teleporting. I pushed a button that just appeared on the console and the car began to hover above the ground. I pulled back on the steering wheel which could now move like the controls of a plane and pushed the gas pedal. Away we went. I flew over the city, going quite fast since I figured we were in America and had to fly over the Atlantic. I looked down and couldn't quite tell what city it was but it was surrounded by desert and mountains beyond that. I figured either Las Vegas or Phoenix Arizona. It only took a few seconds to reach the mountain range and when we crossed it I could see the great pyramids over the other side. I opened the console of the car and found a staples button. Cheesy, I know, but I pressed it and a loud and, for some reason, female voice said, "that was easy."

I pushed down on the steering wheel and eased on the breaks. We landed about 200 yards from the sphinx and I knew I had to ride it up the pyramids but felt like something else was missing. Of course, the nose! As I looked it over I realized that its nose was completely intact; the whole thing looked like it had been completed just days earlier! What the heck, I was supposed to fix it . I figured since I had to fix it I might as well break it first. I flew up to its face and pulled my arm back, taking a good, solid swing at the nose. The tip fell off but I needed more, granted the whole thing was twice the size of me. I ran my hand along the bridge of the nose and then hovered over it and kicked down. The whole thing slowly slid down the face of the sphinx and it looked just like it did in the history books.

Now I had to undo what I just did. I was a little annoyed at it but hey, I want to get this done! I floated back to the ground and picked up the nose. Even though my arms couldn't reach all the way around it I was still able to somehow lift it. I flew back up to its face and set the nose in place. I then pushed it into the face and the whole thing fit like a key. Apparently this was indeed some sort of key, for the sphinx immediately began to move. Slowly but surely the whole thing stood up, looked around, and gave a long stretch and yawn. It then proceeded to lick itself, damn cat.

I hopped on its back and tried to get it to move, granted the thing's back was 25 feet wide, it wasn't a horse. I squeezed my legs like one would to get a horse to move but the sphinx just looked around and then laid back down. What the hell, this was supposed to be fairly straightforward! I thought for a moment while it started to drift off to sleep and then remember seeing cats chasing the little red dots that laser pointers create. I reached into my pocket and, sure enough, there was a laser pointer! I pointed it at the pyramid and could faintly see a little red dot, not nearly enough to get this thing's attention. I figured that, if it were a little bit darker out the light would be easier to see. I looked down at my wrist and found a watch. It said 4:00 P.M. so I pulled out the little time-set thing and changed it to 8:00. As the hands moved forward the sun went down and the moon came up. This was pretty cool, given that I had never really changed the time of day before.

As the sun went down I could feel the dream begin to fade. Damn, I haven't done this in a while! I quickly rubbed my hands together which stopped the fading and brought back some clarity but I knew that I didn't have much time left. I patted the sphinx on its back, which was still quietly laying there. It began to stir and I pointed the laser pointer at the ground in front of it; it was easy to see now! The sphinx's ears twitched and its head perked up, clearly noticing the little dot. I pointed at the pyramids which were about 400 yards away. The sphinx jumped up and immediately began to bound towards that light. I squeezed my legs as tight as I could just to stay on.

When it got close to the pyramid, the sphinx jumped, trying to pounce on the light. I quickly moved it up about halfway to the top of the pyramid, but it still ended up hitting the base and knocking some blocks off. C'mon, kitty, don't knock the thing down! It regained its awareness and found the dot again and immediately jumped up, running up the pyramid. This thing was steeper than I thought, it had to be at least a 40 degree angle (after googling it, the actual angle is almost 52 degrees). The sphinx stuttered on a few steps as blocks fell out from under it but it continued to climb up the top.

I pointed the light right at the very peak and, right as we got close to the top, the sphinx jumped again, this time overestimating the height and clearing the entire pyramid. We both fell down for a few hundred feet and when the sphinx finally landed it began to slide down the side of the pyramid. The ride was quite bumpy and I could feel the dream beginning to fade. We reached the bottom just a couple seconds afterwards and I immediately jumped off, rubbing my hands to try and stabilize but to no avail. I decided that, since the dream was pretty much over and I had accomplished what I wanted to do, I would give the sphinx a treat. I waved towards the distance, motioning for something to come towards me. While doing this I envisioned a giant fish coming out of the horizon towards the sphinx. I tried to reward it for its hard work but just as I though I saw the fish come over the horizon I woke up in my bed, my arm over my head in the same position I was waving in. The entertainment isn't confined to just the dreams

One down, six to go. Hopefully the next one won't take three weeks just to get lucid

This experience happened maybe a week or two ago, it is in my top 10 experiences because it seemed so real. I swear I traveled to some of my memories. I am in lucid dreaming mode where I can create where I want to go each time I wake up if I have not gotten full sleep yet, and continue into another lucid dream willingly, however many times I want. It happens to me a lot but not every night. I knew I was in LD mode because it was happening. First I want to go to my high school. I wake up in the middle of the floor in the junior high hallway. I was on the ground with just my pillow but no mattress. I had seen some of my classmates use this side so I am thinking I am in a my junior high years. I had already done this three times waking up in the same spot every time. I found my way around the school the first time, but i don't remember much. The last two times I made my way to the parking lot out front. The second time an old friend (around this time period actually) Colin was getting in the car with his mom who looked the same. The third time I went out he was fighting with his mom and he was crying. (When I say the third time I mean I had woke up to come back for the third time). I pass him and walk to Levi's ride which is a red van(I have yet to ask him about this). He told me about him playing football for the rest of the year and what position he played.(He did play football in junior high but I never asked him about it back then). I wasn't able to talk cause I woke up not long after.

I then tried to go to shelburn, town where my friend lives, but ended up in Terre Haute. I don't remember the first time, but I do remember it was in the exact same area. The second time was still next to highway 41 in front of the shops located in front of Wal-Mart. I woke up on my mattress but it appeared I was on a fountain built there, possibly the future. My whole mattress and some of my pillow was submerged in water and completely soaking wet lying in the middle of the fountain. I thought it might be a problem traveling with my bed in the water so I tried to lie back down on my wet mattress and wake up in my room again.

I tried traveling to a bigger place, I'm pretty sure it was Florida because I had been there recently. I had somehow appeared in the hood in Atlanta, Georgia. I had watched a documentary movie about the exact place I had appeared in. Now remember this was completely real to me and I was really scared. I knew where I was and I knew it was a very dangerous place for a normal looking white person such as myself. I got out off my mattress and I walked down the street observing some of the houses and realized the exactly where I was from the real Atlanta. I could see that every alleyway and street I went on there were black people hanging out( I'm not afraid of black people but some of these people would hold you at gun point and jack your shit if they had the chance as I had watched on the documentary). I did not want to fuck with anybody nor did i want them to fuck with me so I tried to hurry along without making eye contact. I came up to a point with a group of black people and made my way around and saw there were a couple white people. I still felt uncomfortable because I did not fit in like they did. I was still walking around everybody looking for a way to get the hell out of this city. I had to slip behind some people against a wall and accidentally steeped on the back of one of the white guy's shoes. I saw him look at me with an angry look. I continued on on and ignored it. I turned and looked again and he threw whatever he was carrying and hit me in the neck with it. I woke up not long after but not in my room as expected.

I am not sure how I got where I was, but instead of waking up in my bed I was in a room with different scenery and two beds. There was a poster on the wall I had never seen and the bed sheets were different. There was a room styled in pink across the hallway so I thought it was our sister's( I have a sister but not from my moms house). My brother Miles walked in and I was really excited about where I was. I told him I was in the future straight freaking the the fuck out because I couldn't believe it. He seemed to believe me and was yelling for mom also excited. I walked down the hallway and into the living room with him. I woke up not long after mom walked in. I was kind of disappointed that I didn't get to continue that one.

At this point I am getting close to fully waking up because I would close my eyes and try to go somewhere but would open them up still in my normal room. I then tried to go to the past sometime around 2005 I think. I didn't end up their, but somewhere weird as shit. It was literally a cartoon drawn room, completely white with black outlines for the doors and bed. I was kind of freaked out by it and woke up quickly. There were other things that happened in my travels but it's hard to recall some of the events because they all happened in the same morning in order.

I do remember one other place I traveled to by accident.I woke up in a shop without my mattress. I had to carry around my pillow in order to wake up in my room whenever I needed to. I was walking around some of the clothes looking around when a lady that worked there asked me about the pillow I was carrying. She wanted to know if I was going to buy it and I explained to her that it was mine so that she wouldn't take it, leaving me stuck there. That is pretty much all I remember from that morning. It is one of the most amazing things I had ever done with my abilities of using my mind to take control of dreaming. I had to write it down as soon as I woke up completely.
