lucid

A short lucid, but it featured some of the most arresting visual imagery I've encountered so far. I'd wanted to see the Great Pyramid, but this was well beyond what I'd had in mind.

I like to think of my conscious mind as the "coauthor" of my dreams, but sometimes I have to wonder if it's anything more than a proofreader.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #33: The Poolside Pyramid

I'm swimming at a pool party. Rather than relaxing and enjoying the moment, I'm scrubbing furiously at algae blooms along the pool walls while trying to make sure that my two kids are keeping their heads above water. A tall, gray-haired man swims up and makes some unflattering remark about my scrubbing technique. First a flicker of annoyance ("this isn't even my job!"), then one of realization. He stops talking as soon as I'm lucid.

I want to go but I can't make myself leave until I'm sure my kids are safely out of the pool. Fortunately, when I check for them, I see that they've already disappeared. I tell the guy I've got lucid stuff to do and he responds, "Oh sure, man. Go for it."

I fly up out of the pool, thinking vaguely about my goal of reaching the top of the Great Pyramid. I'm shocked when on the horizon I see an entire pyramid complex, fully formed. In front of the Pyramid, in even more vivid detail is the sphinx and a towering statue of an Egyptian Pharaoh. Incredibly, the statue stands even taller than the Pyramid.

Rather than the dull sand-colored stone that I imagine when thinking of the Pyramid today, it's clad in brilliant white. The sphinx's face and body is either painted or perhaps decorated from top to bottom with colored stones, the eyes specifically ringed in deep blue, like lapis lazuli. The statue of the pharaoh is gold, similar in style to King Tut's burial mask.



Everything that I see ahead of me is far, far beyond what I'd incubated (or even imagined) for the Great Pyramid, and I'm thrilled with the idea of exploring it further. A little too thrilled, it seems, because not long after I start flying toward the pyramid complex, I'm awake. My heart rate is elevated (though not quite racing) and I can't seem to settle back in for a DEILD.

Ayiee! Let me back in!

Last Nights Lucid Dream

I am with my youngest and I instantly realise that I'm dreaming.
I am on a broom stick and I am flying about in the sky and my daughter is sitting on the front of it. My daughter now leans to the right and nearly falls off so I grab her and hold her tightly. I now say to my daughter "J your dreaming, this is all a dream, your really lying in bed asleep!" I keep repeating this to her trying to make her understand. It's night time. I now fly into a cave because someone is chasing us. I fly to the top of the caves roof and see a hole going up further, so I fly into the hole, still on the broom stick but then I stop as I look into it further. I think "I need to get out of here because a dragon might be up there!" I had seen something up there and decide to make a quick get away!
We get out and are now flying above the caves. I try to move my stick upwards to fly up but it doesn't work, I now think "doh!, I need to think it instead" I now think "up" and we fly upwards.
I now see another building, a modern building which is situated on top of the caves. There is a party going on inside this 3 storey building. My daughter is no longer with me but I don't worry because I know it was just a stupid, dumb dream character! . I go inside and have a walk about, there are loads of people here, all drinking and enjoying themselves.
A man now comes around me, he's not at all good looking but he begins touching me while I have my drink in my hand. I say to this man "do you mind if I just freshen up first!" Lmao, he looks at me and nods. I now walk through the crowd and into the toilets. Suddenly I realise I'm wearing a skimpy white shirt, which is tied just above my belly-button. I'm also wearing a short, tight black leather skirt and black high heels. I have a wet and notice that the toilets are nice and posh. Usually I have dirty toilets in my dreams with doors missing so this surprised me. I wash my hands and look in the mirror, I look really good lol.
I decide to unbutton my shirt so I'm showing my breasts, I think to myself "its only a dream so its not going to hurt. I now walk sexily back into the party. A woman looks at me as if to say "why's she half naked!" Lmao. I pick up a drink and have a sip, it tastes fruity and bubbly. I put my drink down for a minute and when I go to pick it back up it has disappeared. I say "my drink..where's it gone?". I panic because I feel I need a drink to loosen myself up for this man . I now pick up a different one but then that's gone as well, I say "fuckin dreams...this is fuckin ridiculous!!" Lol.
A young man hears me and gives me his drink, it's pink and even tastes pink lol. I now go back to the man who is waiting in his room for me. He starts touching me up again and kissing my neck really gently. He slips off my clothes, leaving me in just my bra and skimpy knickers. I'm thinking "this dream is quite nice actually, and it is only a dream after all", I grin to myself and just let him touch me and then I wake up.

My Astral Travel Experience

I wake up from a dream this morning and keep my eyes closed and don't move. I can now hear loud cracking, crunching and buzzing and I can feel my whole body vibrating. I now realise this is my chance to astral project. I try to sit up with my astral body but I can't. ((This happens sometimes, you feel a bit stuck)). Instead, I decide to try and raise my hands. I lift them up slowly and decide to open my astral eyes. Things were a little blurred at first, but within seconds my sight became nice and clear. I can now see my bedroom clearly and everything is how it should be.
I move my astral hands about in front of me and I can see the outline of hand shapes but they were made out of what I can describe as heat energy. It's like the heat that comes from the top of a radiator, the heat that moves and makes the wallpaper look wobbly, that's what spirit energy also looks like. At the same time as I move my astral hands I can also feel my real hands on the bed besides me, it's a very odd feeling indeed! Lol
I now manage to rise out of my body a little. At this point I hear my eldest shouting at our dogs, although I didn't know she was awake and up yet.
I sense 2 other spirits in the room with me. 1 is to the left side of my bed and the other is to the right side of my bed. I don't feel any bad vibes from these 2 so I know they are quite friendly. I now feel myself getting pulled back into my body. I can hear the cracking and crunching again and feel the vibrations.
Now that I'm fully back in my body the noises start to diminish.

last night

I had 2 lucid dreams last night but unfortunately I can't remember much about them. I do remember that in the 1st one I looked down at my feet and suddenly realised that I was dreaming and I said "this is a dream!".
In the 2nd one I also remember saying "this is a dream". I also remember flying.

last nights lucid dream

As I lay down to go to sleep, I decide that instead of going to sleep with my hands lying on-top of my stomach, I would lie them flat on the bed next to my sides. I lay there for about 10 mins, doing the usual count down from 100 to 0 and repeating it. After about 10 mins I feel a calm, beautiful wave flow through me from my head to my toes, like a lead blanket being placed gently over me. There was a slight weighty feeling but nothing too heavy. My head also felt light and a little fuzzy. My lucid dream now follows:
I'm lying in bed and feel myself lift out of my body and I float by my bed for a short while. I look around my room and its totally different. I now look at my bed and see my hubby lying there fast asleep. I want to see myself, so I gently move the duvet off my sleeping body and I can see myself. I know at this point that I am dreaming, because my sleeping self was wearing a pair of pyjamas that I didn't even own
I now know that I'm lucid dreaming. I don't have much control even though I am aware, which does sometimes happen and can be very annoying, so I just have to go along with the plot.
I now float over to my hubby who is still asleep in bed. I lean close to him and whisper in his ear "K,K". My voice echoes , this tends to happen sometimes in my lucids for some reason. My hubby now stirs a little, so again I say "K" and he now wakes up. He seems to look right through me so I say to him "K can you see me?" My voice still has that annoying echo to it!
My hubby says "I can see you!" and he seems quite amazed by this . He looks at me again and says "you look different, look at yourself in the mirror" I get a feeling that I'm just a ball of light or something. I think about looking at my reflection but I say "no, I don't want to" I think it would have scared me. Lol. I now feel myself get sucked back into my real body and then wake up for real.

Last nights SP and FA

I was getting vibrations as I was lying down in bed trying to get to sleep, I must have nodded off after a short while. I now remember waking up at some point in the night and again woke with strong vibrations and the electrical noise I hear with them. I now feel myself get pulled hard and fast into what I say, another dimension. I then feel myself in bed and I'm awake but, I'm no longer in the real world.((people who didn't know me would think I'm a tad crazy lol, but I'm totally sane..I think lol)) it's like a parallel universe to this one but with minor differences which, some experts say is true and explain this as an OBE.
I am lying with my head either at the other end of my bed, or I'm lying in a different position to what my real body is in.
Someone was in my room with me, standing at the foot of my bed. I don't know who it is but I think there are 2 of them.
After lying here for a while I wake up in the real world. I am still vibrating, but as I lie here calmly it soon wears off.

Last nights semi-lucid dream.

I'm with a girl and we are walking up a road by my moms house. I decide to fly instead of walking and I say to the girl "come on, fly!"
After a few minutes I say "I can see lots of clear, floating things like orbs, can you?" The girl says "no I can't" I feel amazing and very, very spiritual.
It's night time and everything looks so much more beautiful and amazing than normal. We now get to town and I say "come on, I wan to go to Dunelms"
We get inside and it's different. It's beautiful in here. We walk past some kids, but they don't look real to me so I say, "I need to touch them to see if there real and not spirit" so I touch them and find that they are real, they were sort of see-through but then they turned solid. . We now have to go up some steps and again I decide to float up them. I say to the girl who's with me "this is probably a dream" and she shakes her head like I'm a mad woman . I now know that I'm dreaming but I don't have full control, so I just go along with the dream plot. The girl with me says "why can you see spirit?" I say "I hypnotised myself and they said ill see spirit, and I need the stone in 4 days and this is day 4, so now I know I'm ready!"
We now reach the top of the stairs and come to an amazing room. This room is bright and shaped like a half-moon. In the middle of the back wall is the most beautiful and clear fish tank I have ever seen. On either side of this large tank there are green stone pillars carved with the most beautiful carvings. They are a light green colour and reminded me of a crystal called malachite. The colour and everything is bright. It's like a 3D fish tank lol. People are sitting on a half circular sofa and they are admiring the large tank. I think they were waiting for something or someone. We now go outside the room into another part, but I have to just pop my head round to take another look before I go on lol.
We now come to a lady at a till and she give me 2 small, thin tubes. 1 tube has sea salt in and the other has another substance in. The lady says to me "you look after yourself". I put the tubes into my coat pocket to keep them safe because I know they are important.
We now come to another area and 2 women are here. I say to the girl I'm with "I'll get my stone from here" ((meaning my green crystal)). I now realise I'm only holding 1 thin tube and panic. I panic because I need to swap these for my green crystal. I search my pockets but I can't find it or feel it anywhere. I now think to myself "it MUST be in my coat pocket!" I again put my hands in to feel for it and suddenly it's now there lol

Last nights OBE

I wake up in real life with the loud noise of vibrations going through me, I can literally feel my whole body vibrating!
As I'm vibrating I'm fully conscious but decide to keep my eyes closed and try to leave my body.
I think to myself "lift out" and I feel a slight lift. I know I'm not fully out yet so I keep my eyes closed as I know my astral vision won't work yet and it would just cause my real eyes to open instead and would ruin my attempt.
I gently ease myself backwards, away from my real body and I sit up a little. I am now in a squatting position and I can feel the metal bars of my headboard against my heels. I now place my astral foot onto one of the metal bars, I now do the same with my left foot, I now basically climb to the top of the headboard. This is easy because there is no weight to my astral body. I now feel my astral body being pulled back into my real body, not with major force, just gently. I just slip gently back into place, I'm fully conscious as I do this. I now open my eyes and I'm very pleased that it happened naturally again but a little pissed off that it didn't last longer lol.

Last nights lucid dream

I'm in my bedroom and I'm floating and flying around. I now find a girl who looks similar to my daughter S. we are now both floating and flying around my house.
This part is now hazy, I can't remember it very well but I do remember the girl I was with pushing me. She is trying to make me fly forward with speed. I'm now saying "no stop" and I'm laughing about it.
We are now playing about with our flying and hovering abilities. I remember us laughing a lot and having a lot of fun.
The next bit is a bit of a blurr again, but I do remember waking up at one point and then I shut my eyes again, and again I'm flying around in my house.

A visit from my grandad in a dream?

I'm in the social club and I see my Grandad S, he's standing across the room from me. I'm lucid and go over to him and touch his leg to make sure he's really there, when I realise he is I give him a massive hug. (( he's deceased)).
I now say to grandad "do you know what they've done?" ((A big family argument)) grandad says "don't worry about your Dad, I'm looking after him, I'm sending him a bit of my magic to sort him out, tell him I'm here and love him always".
Grandad now takes off his top hat ((he's wearing top hat and suite)) which I think has a band across it, and he puts it on my head. Grandad does a funny dance now with his stick and says "I'm as fit as a fiddle now!".
I ask him if nan is ok and he says "yes, but she's buy cooking, she still enjoys doing it you know!" He then says "she's sending her love, now go and tell your Dad to stop worrying, I'm always watching, ill sort them lot out". Grandad kisses me before he goes and says "give this to your Dad" and passes me his walking stick, then says "he's going to need it sooner than he thinks" (( walking stick probably resembles the support my nan and grandad are giving him)). ((I did find out that my grandad had a top hat and suite when he was alive and the hat had a silver band around it))

Last nights SP and OBE?

I wake up in SP and the vibrations are very strong. I hear squeaking at the side of my bed and I think "is that a fuckin mouse?" I now feel a mouse jump onto my bed by my head and run across it. My hubby stirs a little, I look but can't see a mouse ((HH)). I can still feel the vibrations so decide to close my eyes and I think to myself "I want to go out of my body" I open my eyes and I'm still in bed. The vibrations are still happening so I try again. I again close my eyes and think "I want to go out of my body" this time I feel myself slowly lifting upwards. I open my eyes and I'm floating in an upright position next to the side of my bed. I can see my big mirrored wardrobe and everything else that should be there, although my vision is quite blurry. I try to move forward a little but I feel slow, like I'm being held back, so I decide to just stay by the side of my bed and just enjoy floating for a while.
I see a shadow by my bedroom door, and get a feeling that its a female. I now notice a white handbag next to me but its not one of mine. Someone throws the bag to me, then giggles like they find it funny! Lol. I now think "shall I go and find my nan S?" (Who is deceased) but I quickly dismiss the idea out of fear of getting lost lol.
A woman now approaches me and says "ohh, no ones here, they haven't sent you a guide yet then, ill sort that out for you!" I now wake up in SP again, so I close my eyes, feel myself spinning and then the SP wears off and I get up.

Dream with feeling of SP.

I am dreaming, and then get the feeling of SP rush through my dream body. It felt a bit weird actually, with me feeling it while being in a normal dream. This in turn brings me into lucidity a little, and I couldn't quite figure out why I was feeling it while I was in a normal dream.
I guess I was just feeling my dream body and my real body at the same time.
My real body must have been waking a little but I was still fixed in my dream at the same time
It was a weird night all in all, but I can't quite remember what I was dreaming about ((doh!!))

9:00 A.M. A Full Day

I was at work, though not my work IWL. It was a new job I think. It's fuzzy, but I think I had enough experience in the field to be coming in higher than ground floor.

I ended up going out to get some stamps. I asked the lady how much it would be to get forever stamps. She said it would be extra. I told her that that really isn't fair because I am paying for a product today--

She interrupted me and wouldn't help me anymore saying that I was making a scene or something. I looked and saw another customer. I went and said in a low voice that she could have just said that I needed to wait a moment to talk to her about it, so she could help the next person, and then we could finish...and I could finish.

She said, "OK, go wait over there then." I looked down, I had my stamps and my change on the counter, though I hadn't paid the lady.

My change was in Eisenhower dollars, silver halves, silver quarters, and the like. I was so excited, and I thought I'd recognized this change from somewhere. I dreamed of it because I recently saw some coins at a pawn shop.

I put the change in my pocket and decided I would pay for the stamps later, though I was nervous about showing her the change she'd given so that she would know how much I owed her. I didn't want her to see the valuable change she'd given me.

I went over to a table to wait for the lady and started to look at my coins, but now I had so many coats and bags that I was carrying, I didn't know how I was going to carry everything out of the "Post Office / Bank" place I was in.

I soon started collecting all my stuff to leave just so I could figure out exactly how I would get it all together. As I left, I found two baseballs. One had deep grooves as though a bear had clawed through it. I put my fingers in the grooves. It was from where a real pitcher had pitched a certain type of pitch and it made those grooves.

The other baseball was blue and green and more of a toy ball. I bounced it and had a hard time catching it. I then saw my surroundings very clearly to see where I was going home. I was cutting through someones land on a public road. They had workers spreading mulch all around trees. they had one machine spreading and another pushing it neatly along a path.

I walked on to get back to wherever I was going. I ended up cutting through a public pool. I had some big balloon type things I was carrying now. I had about five of them.

I started talking to some of the people, then jumped in the pool. I put one or two of these giant, awkward balloon things in my trunks, and asked if a girl could help me stuff the others in my trunks so I wouldn't have to hold them. I also wanted her to stuff her hands down my trunks, but I didn't say anything about that.

As one or maybe two of the girls were going to help me, I saw a third girl. I told her she was cute, and then went with the two girls who were going to help me.

I don't remember the transition, but I started seeing all these people's faces. I went over to a cute girl and realized I was dreaming.

I quickly found a girl that I thought was cute and went to kiss her. She said, "What?" I said, "I'm dreaming, aren't I?" I did a reality check so that I didn't make a huge mistake. I was happy to see too many fingers, didn't bother to count them all, and went in to kiss this girl. She didn't question it this time.

For some reason that was done and I looked for another girl. I found the cutest one I could find and leaned in to kiss her. This was great. I started trying to make it with her. I held her close and kissed her well.

Then some guy came up to me to fight me because of what I was doing. Stupid me lets him interrupt my dream. At first, I went to hit him. I thought it would be fun, but I had quicksand punches. FUCK!

I tried again with no luck. Now I was trying to get my shirt off and I couldn't. This sucked. I eventually ended up in another scene. I was getting cake for some reason, but I was giving mine to pretty girls. I gave some to this girl, but then implied that I get to hug her for giving it to her. I held her close with her breasts in my face. I didn't want to let go.

I then had more to do about the cake. I found another piece and gave it to the girl who let me hug her and hugged her some more. Then I was finding cake that wasn't mine and it was a bunch of blah blah blah.

The end.

10:45 AM Driving in a Half Time Parade

I was told that either a friend from work K.K. could drive a tram at the Football game. I raised my hand and was chosen. I was given a beer and the keys (?). I drank the beer. It was pretty good for a dream beer. Then I took the keys and got in the driver's seat. I was next to a pretty girl.

I looked up and the tram was already moving. At first I was afraid as though I had not been responsible and gotten in the driver's seat right away. I started to drive, and thought it wasn't even on. I had the keys, but there were keys in the ignition, and I couldn't tell if the ignition was on.

Someone questioned me, so I turned it over. OK, now we're rolling. I needed to turn the heater on or off, but I couldn't figure out where the button was. I started pushing lots of buttons, but they weren't normal buttons. They were all close to each other and they weren't the right shape.

Someone asked about it so I handed them some book. I said, "Here, find it." I wanted to know where the heater button was and where I was going. The person asked me again and I said, "You find it." They got it then.

I asked if we should take the highway West, then corrected myself to East. I was feeling really drunk from the beer. I couldn't believe I was driving.

The girl was looking at the book. Our cheeks were touching. Then she took the book and started looking up the directions.

The End.

I really need to update my dream journal more often...

I remember seeing that the time on my computer was 10:12 AM. I looked over at the clock on the oven, and that said it was 6:58. I thought that perhaps the clock was wrong, so I looked back at my computer clock, which now read 7:00 PM. The oven clock had also changed to 10:12.

I remembered that clocks sometimes change in dreams, so I decided it would be best to do an RC. I counted the fingers on my right hand, but I had five fingers. I still had a feeling it was a dream, though, so I repeated the RC with my left hand. I counted six fingers (I actually skipped my thumb, so I really should have counted seven).

I knew I was dreaming but quickly woke up (I think it was a false awakening, but I can't remember).

Okay, so for a couple months I was plagued by nightmares of Slenderman. I finally decided that I'd had enough and came here. I got a lucid dream on my third try. I don't remember it in great detail, but it went like this:

I was in Barnes and Noble during some big book sale, and there were tons of people. For some reason, I just got that feeling that you get in dreams sometimes when you can just tell it's going to turn into a nightmare (You know that feeling, right?) For some reason, I just decided to do one of my reality checks and sure enough my finger went right through my hand. That's when Slendy walked in.

Everybody ran away, and I just stood there staring right at it. Someone shouted at me to run but I said to no one in particular that I wasn't going to run away anymore. After a few seconds of standoff Slenderman went multi-armed and reached towards me. That's where it gets a little fuzzy, but I remember we had this huge battle and I pounded the crap out of him. I tackled him through a window into the mall (the Barnes and Noble near me is in a mall). I thought I'd killed him, but he got back up. I was ready for round to, but he just stared at me for a second and then walked away. I don't know if that means he'll come back, but I'm just glad he's gone for now.
