lucid

I entered a building with a group of people; kind of dark inside. We all walked up to a door that was tall in height and wide. On the left side of the door, there appeared some slots for change (money). Underneath the door, there appeared to be a keyhole inside of a compartment. Giving the option to open the door with a key.

Before the group and I went inside, we were approached by another group of people who appeared to be guards. One of the "guards" asked us to empty out our pockets, or so it appeared to be. At first, I only gave the "guard" my change. He (the "guard") looked like he was not fooled, asking me again. I reached into my pocket to give him the rest of my money.

Next, the group and I went inside a room. When we entered the room, there was a tall man with dark hair and dressed in black. This man asked us to put on glasses, and they appeared to be 3-D glasses.

For some reason, i was confused as to what the glasses were for, where they were, and why i had to wear them in the first place.

Around the room, there were what looked like arcade games from the 1980s. I was confused and did not know what to do with the games. I may have froze energetically.

While the group of people were playing arcade games, i was observing what they were doing. After playing the arcade games, the group of people started to giggle like they appeared to be hallucinating. They also had those "3-D" glasses that the man in black told them to put on. I became curious about what they were seeing through those "3-D" glasses.

Sometimes after being frozen and defrosting my energy, I left the arcade room and went with the group to an area where an African-American woman approached me. She gave me the money that a guard from earlier, kept for me while i was in the arcade.

I did not see what happened to the group's money, nor did i pay attention to much of what they were doing.

The rest of the dream was kind of a blur, though I traveled to another dream or place with the same group of people. After the travel to the new dream, the area was surrounded by what looked like a swirly bridge or highway, similar to a city I was born in real life. This place was a lot more imaginative.

I saw Dad. Seeing him was kind of a blur, the back of his head was showing. It appeared like he was playing music, yet i did not notice if i knew any of the other members in the band.

The group i was with, wanted to get a seat down by the stage instead of down by the stage, which, in my logical mind, seemed like the exact same thing. I was confused.

After a while, the group of people took me on a drive up a spiraling road, on a bridge/highway, up a steep steep hill. It felt scary. I did not know when the group and i were going to come down from the hill.

I had the strange feeling that i was taking a risk of going along with the group, even though i did not know what they were doing.

There was a vague memory of seeing Dad again. Afterwards, the dream faded out.

don't remember the beginning, but i tried to up some ground like magic of the earth. I wasn't succed,i could up only three small stones and there was something like glove on my right hand. I took it off, but several kids came to me, i said them to jump in the river, then several adults began to disturb me, and in the end i began to fight and awoke.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! The title says it all. I've got no idea if she was a mother, but she was pretty damn fine for a lady a few years older than me.

21.30: Sleep

05.25: Lucid MILD
I'm in an elevator with two other people. I suddenly realise I'm dreaming. The elevator stops and we get out. The doors close behind and I look around a bit. A latino woman around fourty is standing nearby. She seems a bit uncomfortable and pushes the "down" button. I push the "up" button instead and look her in the eyes. "You want to have some fun instead?" I ask confidently. She gets this look like: "How can this guy be that confident?" and seems a bit interested. I tell her something I can't remember and we get in the elevator that just arrived. I grab her ass with both hands in the elevator and in just a few seconds it's arrived on the top floor. I look around, it looks like a regular attic.

Spoiler for 18+:

I lie down on my back in a bed in the corner and she starts teasing a bit. My pants are getting a bit tight. "You know what that is don't you? How about you do something about it?" She lies down on me and it feels awsome. 'Damnit, this can't get messy, I've gotta work tomorrow'. The dream starts to fade as she starts to give me head, which feels even more awesome.

05.25: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 8½ hours

Supplements: None

That's it!

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

So I had multiple dreams and in two out of the four I managed to obtain lucidity for a few seconds but I finally managed to get the feeling of a dream and im confident I can do it again a lot more easily now.

First dream I remember being in my house and for some reason these lizards that were bigger than normal were running around my house. I remember my mom calling me to the garage and she was telling me about them. I looked down at one of the corners and there the Lizard was just staring at me with its eyes. Things got weirder as I received a Text from the lizard. I cant recall word for word what it said but it included the words "Nave" and "Harm". What i do know though was that he didnt mean me any harm. I think I texted him back but my dream switched to this Scene where it was brian, Chris and Stewie from family guy with the lizard in school. They were calling a peace meeting but I cant recall what they were saying and I woke up shortly after.

This was the end of my first Rem cycle. After this I was awake for a bit and I managed to go back to sleep.

This was a short dream but one of the highlights. I was coming down a big building I felt like was work. I wanted to get across the street so I waited until there were no cars and I ran for it. Once I got to the other side, I noticed the trees that I was passing by and heard the cars that were driving by on the road. The dream steadily began getting more clearer and as I began to walk down the road, suddenly I just became completely aware of myself. I immediately thought "Im dreaming!" and when I noticed this, for some reason, I lost complete control of my body and I fell to the ground. While on the ground I knew I had to rub my hands together to get some stabilization but my hands were behind my back and it was extremely hard to move them. I knew though that it was because I was too focused on my real body instead of my dream body. I tryd focusing in on my dream body and slowly but surely I started to move my hands. All this focusing on my body and hands caused my eyes to close and I could no longer see the road I was laying on. As I slowly moved my hands together to rub, I could hear the cars driving by very clearly and the wind brushing up against me. When I finally managed to rub my hands together, I tried opening my eyes but ended up waking myself up

Third dream I was in my car with some of my work buddies. It was Suheyn, Andrea, Ralph, and I. It was pouring down rain and I stopped by an office building to go to the bathroom. My dream skipped the part where I got out of the car and continued when we were leaving somewhere again. There was dialogue and laughter but I cant remember what was said. I know Ralph conversed with me about why I haven't called him to catch up and hang out (It was kind of awkward). Anyways, As we were leaving Suheyn says she needs to use the bathroom and I ask why she didn't ask the first time! She didn't say anything cause I was already turning around again. We all ran inside this time and while inside we started listening to music by I think hooking up an Ipod. I cant recall the music and after a few minutes or seconds of dancing we ran back to the car and I woke up.

Last dream I recall that I will type was of me in my house walking to the front door. Outside were my parents greeting two cars that pulled up with two families. In one of the cars came out this beautiful girl with her parents and I could've swore Ive met her before. In the second car (Both of them were SUV's) came out another beautiful girl but not as good looking as the other. My parents said Hi and im sure i introduced myself too. The dream skipped this part however and I found myself sitting in my backyard. One of the Girls came up to me and said that she knows me and that I look very familiar. She wasnt the one that I thought was familiar so I had no idea what to say. I dont remember what was said but it must have been good because she started attacking my face and we made out for a bit. Our families started to make obnoxious noise like to embarrass us so I grabbed her hand and went to the side of my house. We began making out again and I can still kind of feel her lips and the way she kissed. After a bit I asked if she wanted to see my room and she was so eager she took me by my hand and guided me We went through the living room and I saw the other girl staring at me almost in jelousy but I could tell she was just sad, she wished she made a move first. When we went into my room I woke up for a few seconds cause my brother was hassling my mom about going to school. When I went back in, I found myself alone on the side of my house and right away I became aware and just felt that dreaming sensation. Without hesitation I began to rub my hands together this time with ease and I felt my hands very vividly. I could hear the wind passing me by and I could just feel my entire body but the best thing about it is that I could also feel like an Aura or energy field around my dream body as well. This lucidity was better and lasted slightly longer than the last but sadly, as soon as I stopped rubbing, the dream began to get darker and I knew once it was pitch black I wouldnt be able to open my dream eyes again. I woke up once it became completely dark.

Even though I didn't get very far, this is still a huge success for me because I now know the sensation of dreaming. From now on I will be able to become lucid a lot easier and with practice I'll be as good as you guys in no time.

#91 Brief DILD in Japan

I am in Japan in a Christian church. I feel like it is Catholic. I am sitting among a hundred or so blonde haired little girls. I have my own blonde haired daughters next to me. all the girls are playing brass instruments. I don't remember the song but they play it flawlessly. I can't understand why none of them are Japanese. After they stop I get up and walk to the back and see the pastor standing there next to a small end table with candles. I notice he is wearing a grey suit and black tie. He looks a little like my own pastor in real life. I have a fake and brief memory of him coming to a haunted house and casting out evil spirits. Instead of talking about that, I mention that none of the girls look Japanese. He begins to laugh and reply to that but, at that moment, I look down and notice I am holding my son in his car seat. I carelessly tilt him forward and he falls out and hits the floor hard. I quickly pick him up and hold him close. He is not crying but I look him over anyway.
My wife touches his head and says "He has a knot."
"Nah.", I say. "He is fine."

I am now outside walking to my car with my daughters trailing behind me. It is night time and I see kids playing with a squirrel under a street lamp. For a second I think that I forgot my son inside. I pause and start to think and retrace my steps but, first I focus on my hand. There, now I can feel the car seat handle. I look and there it is.

I walk around the passenger side and glance at my rear tire. I see that it is going flat. I look at the door to open it then look back at the tire. It had now fallen off and the axle is completely broke. It look like pipe threads at the end. At first I am completely pissed and begin to freak out but I realize something and pause and stare at the door again. I tell myself that I can just use dream control. If I believe, it will be fixed. I know I am dreaming at this point but I don't verbalize it yet.

I look back at the wheel and it is fixed but the tire is still low on air. I smile. I make an inflating gesture with my hands and let out a whoosh of air with my mouth. I say, "There. Fixed." I don't bother to verify it I just know. I forget about the kids now and walk around the driver side of the car. I finally say it, "I am dreaming.", and smile. I know that the dream has been getting progressively darker but I don't fight it. I want to continue the plot and see where it takes me. I realize that I was about to do some sight seeing in Japan and I really want to drive to downtown of whatever Japanese city I was in. As I reach for the door handle of the car, I instantly wake up. I feel really tired and I forget to try DEILD.

Naked Between snooze alarm dream

I am running around the house trying to get dressed for work. My wife is up and about and she has some friend of hers over. I say something to her and she replies something and walks into the kids room. I continue to try to find some clothes but I am in the living room. I look down and realize that I have been completely naked the entire time. I don't get embarrassed. I just wonder why I am not at all modest any more. I am amused by this and start to walk into the room where my wife and friend went into. I have no sexual feelings about it at all. I just think it will be funny to streak in front of them. The alarm wakes me up.

All in all a fun morning though! There were alot of mini lucids, and it's been hours so I'll try to recall best I can.

Woke up at 5:30am then went back to sleep almost right away. Woke up at 6:45am, then fell back to sleep around 8am I think. The first lucid was when I woke up (I think?), and was just lying on my back with my eyes open. Then I felt vibrations. I thought that it was weird that I felt them while my eyes were opened, so I decided I was already dreaming so I got up. When I did, a corner of the blankets were stuck to my face and I had to pry it off lol. I thought about the pumpkin head task again, but I was ambivalent. The last time didn't go so well and I didn't even really want to do it. But it was either that one or the frankenstein one and I didn't feel like doing that one either lol. So I made up my mind and just marched into the bathroom. I looked at my reflection, then got up real close and looked at my eyeballs, the pupils morphed all weird. I stuck just my head through the mirror then pulled it back out. This time was the most effortless mirror push. Instead of liquid, it felt like cool air. Somehow the mirror moved the features of my face down to the bottom 1/3 of my face, if that makes sense. So I stuck it back in the mirror, then out again, and it was back to normal. Which gave me an idea. I wondered if I stuck my head in the mirror, and pulled with my hands at the same time, my head might stay in the mirror and become detached. So I tried it, and what resulted was really bizzare: I pulled back out of the mirror, and my head was still attached, but it had completely deflated and was just hanging down off my neck like a popped balloon. I couldn't see this fact, because I was blind the second I came out of the mirror. I felt it with my hands. That was far enough for one dream, so I stuck my upper body back into the mirror, then pulled back out. Still blind, but I could feel my head back in place. And it wasn't true blindness, because I could see the bathroom light behind closed eyelids. I even pointed my face up toward the light, and it became brighter. So I pryed my lids open with my fingers and I could see again. Fucking weird. Then I woke up.

I was still on my back, so I just closed my eyes and I went immediately into a dream. My mattress slid off the bed with me still on it. Then what could be best described as a magic carpet ride started. The mattress went right through the wall, and it traveled down the road, went up windy mountain roads, and eventually took off into the sky. As I was soaring through the clouds, I felt like I might fall off, so I grabbed onto the edge as hard as I could. I knew I was dreaming this whole time, I just didn't feel like falling. I'm turning into such a chicken in my LDs. It's way past time to mentally detach from my physical body in these dreams. Anyway, I think I woke up shortly after feeling like I might fall.

I fell back to sleep and went straight into a dream where I was at work. I was immediately lucid, because I remembered that I had just woken from a dream like 4 seconds ago and had closed my eyes to go back to sleep. This DEILD stuff is cool and weird. I decided I wanted to try to find Scott from the last LD, because I didn't get to do much with him. I found him in the frozen aisle, where I usually see him irl if not at the bakery. I said "Hey Scott, wanna make out?" He was wearing a motorcycle helmut. He walked up to me and lifted the visor, ready to kiss. I said "You gotta take that thing off man." He said he didn't want to because it made him look cool, but then he took it off anyway. He pressed me up against one of the freezer doors and we made out for a while. Then I woke up.

I went right back to sleep, and immediately found myself in my parents' livingroom, again recognizing that I was dreaming because I was JUST lying in my bed trying to go back to sleep. No furniture though. I remember I was kinda horny from making out with Scott in that last dream, and I couldn't think of anything else to do. It was really bright outside, otherwise I might have been inspired to find a graveyard and attempt the other advanced TOTM. I thought "naaaah" and waited for someone to show up. 2 cable guys came to the door, and I asked them to strip down and get on the floor. They said no. Then a 3rd guy showed up, looked like a phone repairman. He obliged me. I turned male and the rest of that story will stay in my brain. I don't remember waking up from that one, so I either went nonlucid or just blacked out I dunno.

I know this is poorly worded. There was a lot to type in. The only interesting thing about the dream is the Portal-door-style traveling.

I was watching the Foreword unto dawn series of videos that's been coming out on youtube. (A series of videos pretending to the storyline of Halo 4, that will be coming out very soon)
I was excited that the last episode had finally come out, but when I got about two minutes into watching it, A game showed up. It was a really cheap, bad looking game. It involved building a tower taller and taller. It said that I had to play it and get above a certain score to see the rest of the video.

I played the game for like two minutes and then closed it out. I really wanted to see the rest of the video. I had only unlocked about two more minutes of the video.

I was dreaming of these three villain men. They were all really strong looking, wearing black jackets and standing in the middle of the plaza of this city.
Then this thing, It looked like sort of Iron Man armor transformed onto them. But the armor was old and rusty. Each of them turned into animals, that some would consider evil. One became a crow, another that was a wolf. I can't remember what the third man's mech animal was. But at this point that they started destroying the city.
Then, one of the men stood forward, and the chest of his mech suit opened. The outer metal shell split into "ribs". Inside of it was this big pulsing orange energy orb. I can remember vividly how it crackled and steamed.
The dream changed, and I was in my own body, with K. We were at the top of a skyscraper. She wanted to get down, and for some reason, we were in a huge hurry.
She ran into a stairwell. The stairwell was next to a window, so on one side, there was a glass wall giving a view of the city. There was also an elevator door on each floor. The stairs were at a very shallow angle.
K was really booking it down the stairs. I was running after her, skipping every other step. After I had chased her down the stairs for awhile. She got into an elevator.
"Why didn't we do this ten floors ago?"
The elevator started moving down, but stopped on a lower floor. When the door opened, the elevator was really far from the building. Between them was just a huge black void. And the people on the building side couldn't get to the elevator.
The elevator closed and headed down again. When we got off, we got off onto a moving train.
Then I met with this boy. He had long blonde hair, combed up really neat. He was bleeding from a would below his eye. He had drops of blood on his hand as well. Then he started complaining to me that he didn't like that he was bleeding.
He wrapped himself in a blanked and went to sit with a woman that I think was his mother.
Then I just got lucid out of nowhere. I saw my supposed guide sitting in one of the seats. I walked over and sat down next to her. She was reading a fashion magazine.
"I have some very important questions for you"
I pounded my fist into my palm.
"Are you my dream guide?"
"Yes."
"What is your name?"
"I have many names..."
She began running though a long list of names, both boy names and girl names.
"Ok, but I need a name that I can use for my dream journal."
"You may choose one. But remember these things: Do not eat a rusty hinge, and beauty and the beast is very long."
lolwut.
Then the dream destabilized, and I lost lucidity. Someone asked me if I was interested in marriage in the royal court. Then I woke up.

I am in my kitchen when all of a sudden I hear music coming from the drawers. There are four of them in a column. I try to open them all to see what is causing it but somehow whenever I try to open any drawer my hand keeps getting teleported to the second drawer. This prompts me to become lucid but I wake up moments later.

I had an unplanned DEILD but I excepted it. As soon as the vibes stop I roll out. First thing I did was head to my window. I see these plants growing from the outside wall of the house. They look extremely detailed. I could see the lines and the patterns they make are symmetrical. I then remember to try to speak to my inner awareness again. I look up and yell out "Hello?" and a childlike voice responds back saying "yes?" I then ask "who are you??" it responds but when I wake up I just couldn't recall what it said it was.

in my dream i seen some stairs so i decided to climb them, and there was door at the top. When i reached the door there was an elderly lady standing there and said "What are you thinking about dear?" and this confused me. She then invited me into the door and when i stepped into it, it was as if i went to Mont st Micheal in one of the sovneir shops but all i could see was mugs. This woman then asked me my name I responded and then it started to get blurry this was when i realized i was waking up but i really wanted to know this woman's name so I shouted "What is your name?" and she answered "Matron."

What does this mean

I had a good number of dreams last night but I only wrote this one down.... I need to stop being lazy. But, at least this one was sort of fun.

Drawing As A Means Of Summoning? [DILD]

I don't remember the dream up to the part where I became lucid or even a little bit after it, just that it was at a school. I walked down some hallway to a door that should've led to a classroom, but instead it opened up to the stage of some TV game show with a full audience and everything. I was kind of nervous that walking through this door alone would make the dream unstable, so I went to grab a DC to take with me. I walked back out of the hall and found M and grabbed her hand and got her to follow me back. As I was running down the hall with M behind me I thought to myself something along the lines of "She better still be M when I turn around and see her again." and when we got to the door I checked and she was, but upon going through the door I noticed that it just led to a regular classroom now. I guess she wasn't what I should have been worried about changing. I got kind of mad and decided to take my feelings out on the unsuspecting room full of DCs, so I walked up to the chalkboard and drew a cat, like a really basic cat like you would expect a child to draw. I then wrote next to it "ATTACK!" and underlined it twice, and stepped back from the board. The cat's eyes suddenly went from normal circles to an angry expression, and then it crouched back and leapt off of the board, in slow motion, over on to one of the desks a DC was sitting at. Unfortunately, it was still slow and weak-willed, and the DC just kind of brushed it off. ._. I guess I should probably plan that out a little better next time, maybe draw a tiger or something instead. At that point I noticed that the dream was starting to become unstable as the environment seemed to be breaking into strange red runes that would flash all over the place chaotically, so I just started moving around grabbing things and DCs trying to regain some sensory input and re-stabilize things. It did increase the vividness somewhat, it saved the dream temporarily, but this part also gets kind of fuzzy. I also remember (and I THINK this was after the cat stuff, but I'm not 100% sure...) getting really horny and feeling the urge to masturbate, and I almost started but then I realized that that would be a totally pointless use of a lucid dream and it would probably wake me up. I also groped some girl with gigantic breasts for the fun of it at one point, I think it was right after that lol. Shortly after that (or the other thing if that happened before it, but I'm pretty sure that was last), I woke up.

This dream definitely made me consider some new aspects of summoning, like I put in the title. I wonder what else I could bring to life like that....

This worked for me last night, combination of CAN-WILD and FILD, let's call it CAN-FILD (Custom Alarm Noise - Finger Induced Lucid Dream). This is my fourth lucid dream, ever, even though I have been trying for years. I think the trick is to get the timing and the details correct. I had quite a long lucid dream, had no trouble with waking up right away. Below are details of how I got it to work so that it may benefit others who are struggling.

Alarm Clock
I have a droid phone, and it use it as my alarm to wake me up in the morning. I use a distinctive piercing alarm to get out of bed. The exact ring tone is not important, it's the math problems i have to solve to turn it off. I have been conditioned to wake the f!ck up when I hear this alarm because it doesn't go away until I do a few math problems on my phone. I do this because otherwise I have the problem others have evinced on this thread, where you sleepily shut off the alarm and fall unconscious again without noticing, or sleep through it.
I got the app Alarm Clock Xtreme Free, and programmed the alarm to slowly rise to full volume over 10 seconds, then stay there for 5 seconds before auto-snoozing for 11 minutes. That means the alarm slowly gains volume and rings for 15 seconds, not jarring me awake and causing me to move. If it doesn't wake me up it goes off again after 11 minutes, then just loops that way forever.

Timing
Went to sleep at 11:30 and set the alarm for 4 hours later, 3:30AM. I was actually woken by the auto-snooze alarm at around 4:30, so that's 5 hours of sleep. I imagine this will be different for most people so this setup takes the guesswork out of it. Eventually you WILL wake up with this great app.

Technique
Upon hearing the alarm I lay still and did not get excited. Imagine if the alarm just meant it was time for you to do your homework, about that level of arousal. I did not start thinking of all the stuff I would do in my dream, I didn't even think about dreaming. Empty mind, concentrate on your fingers. I woke up on my back with my dominant hand on my stomach. This is the hand I practiced twitching my fingers with, so I used it even though it wasn't where I'd prefer (on my side or under my pillow). I twitched the fingers very gently, almost too little to move. I did not count the seconds, just focused on getting the motion right for moment to moment. I did this until I heard a faint buzzing in my ears and a mild sense of dislocation. In retrospect this may have taken 10-20 secnods, max. Again, I did not track the time or count anything.
I lifted my other hand to my nose and tried to breathe, success. I opened my eyes and was in my room, but everything was very gray and indistinct.

I imagine this is where most people wake up. A great thing to do is to deepen the reality of the dream by palpating your surroundings. I looked down at my bedspread and started looking at it up close and feeling it with my hands, moving constantly and not focusing on a single spot for more than a split second. Basically crawling over it like looking for fleas. Within a few seconds my vision became crystal clear and my surroundings solidified. From there I had a very fun lucid dream, it lasted around 10 minutes I think since when I came out of it my alarm clock was about to ring again.


Great technique, can't wait to try it again. If you sleep with someone and can't bother them with your bloody alarm ringing every ten minutes throughout the night, get a comfortable pair of in-ear headphones and wear those to sleep. They sell stuff out there that you can wear without end and not hurt your ears.

My sensey gave us tea and i went to wash hands. I saw hands, remembered about RC, made RC, and went outdor to my neighbour. i noked the door, there were several teens. I said trick-o treat, is here anybody from DV? One blond hair girl said -yes, me. I ask - what is your nick - she answered, but i don't remember and i ask - what is your real name - she said angelika. and i flew away to the other neighbours. there were several old women and they sold something. I said trick-o treat, is here anybody from DV? one of them said - no, but somebody from DV lives in thouse houses. I moved to the 3- story building, but two o three of the old women followed me and tried to steal my attention. I said them several times to lie down, but they stood up quikly and follow me again. i killed one of them with a gun. it was very cruel with blood and cries. then i went into the entrance on the first floor. there were very old doors and i noked to the all four doors. several people opened, i said trick-o treat, is here anybody from DV? and even tried to splash some rice. one man said that one of DV mamberes lived in his flat, but at that time he wasn't in. I asked - what is his nik - he said - VEHIPOLIS and a ask about real name - he said - SUPER. May be sent him a massage? I said - no and went outdoor and exit a dream.

Notes
Lucid

Part 1
Actually woke up from sleep. I lay still and tried to remember my dreams.
I remembered a fragment of a line of metal fold out chairs with some people filling some of the seats. A big person in the middle chair had a red hooded sweatshirt on. Something was going on but I can't remember what.
I was to tired to get up and write this down or try WBTB so I settled on doing a MILD
Tons of colourful imagery flowed through my mind.... Houses, a Lion, other animals, and landscapes. Then I saw to ovals(one blue and one orange) with holes in them form into the tops of two industrial like containers. Both were about the size of a trash can but were slightly skinnier and had straight sides.

They were made out of metal and had minorly complex rods and levers to open and lock them shut. The origional ovals had transformed into a second layer that resembled the top of a smooth shiitake mushroom (no flat spots but not to rounded either). The tops still had holes in them and covered a flat lid that shared a ceiling surface with the containers. The shiitake like covers attached to the underlying lid via welded tabs around the circumference of its curved base. I think that some sort of filtering vent contraptions were hidden between the curved top lids and the flat ceiling lids. The lid assemblies also had heavy duty hinges that connected them to the containers. The two containers colors (blue and orange respectively) were very vivid. Over all the shape of each container was like super cylindrical salt or pepper shaker with contraptions on them, larger and fewer holes in the top, and a ceiling surface.

I liked this imagery and the two containers became dozens of vivid blue and orange containers all laid out in front of me. Then this faded and I thought I'd get up to use the restroom. False Awakening

Part 2
I spun my feet out of bed as I lifted my body up. I floated effortlessly on to my feet and realized that I was dreaming. I stood beside my bed and then dizilly made my way over to the middle of my bedroom. Even though I knew I was dreaming I also felt that I was trying to WILD for some reason and I felt disoriented. I decided to lie back down because I found the disorientation to be uncomfortable. I stumbled over a laundry basket and foot board that don't exist in real life. I fell face first toward the bed, hovered about 4 inches from the covers, and then sank a little.

I awoke for real, did a reality check, and got up for a minute.

Non-Dream
Dream
Lucid

I was upstairs in the computer room when I saw my brother in law going out the front door. It looked like he was going on a backpacking trip. Suspecting I was dreaming, I went downstairs. I thought to myself how I could see with my sleep mask on. Is it on correctly? Then I did a noseplug RC. I could breathe! I'm dreaming! I walked out the front door and woke up.
