      Lucid Dream
      -----------------------------------------------------------

      (Holy shit...TWO lucid dreams in one night? Wow...I'm getting lucky!)


      Well this is how it starts -

      I was at school waiting for a delivery. A Teacher was preparing a pizza and chinese food my mom and I. Apparently "Casper" (the friendly ghost)
      had ordered it. I remember said Teacher came out all "casper! Casper, where are you?" And I thought it was funny. Then she tried to give me the food and I for some reason, freaked out a little and left. I was wandering around the parking lot upset and wanting to go home then I heard the Backstreet Boys and "remembered" that they were there for some reason. I walked to where I thought they were, couldn't see them...so I turned around THEN I realized "I am dreaming! This is just a dream!" Which immediately led to a false awakening.


      I woke up in bed. It was dark. I knew I was dreaming and I was clam for once. I sat up (and sometimes in my LD's, things seem...heavy...or slower. Like there's a resistance to my movement or thought process.) I decided to do a reality check and instead of my typical poke-finger-through-palm, I pinched my head and it didn't hurt. It felt numb, though. I got up and decided to walk THROUGH my bedroom door. I focused really hard in my head that I'd walk through it and stared at it all while keeping my breathing even so I didn't get too excited...

      AND I WENT THROUGH! There was a tiny bit of resistance and heaviness, but I walked through my door!


      The living room was dark and there are some really nasty bits that happened regarding a random dog but I will leave those out.

      I made it outside and hopped into the car. I drove off my road and to a bridge near where you turn ONTO my road. I decided to summon someone. I was feeling a bit tired, so I did have random moments of rubbing my hands together and spinning in a circle outside the car to prolong lucidity.

      Even though i couldn't see from my peripheral, there was a guy sitting next to me. I guess my dream-self felt frisky because I remember grabbing his crotch and he said something like "woah, kid" or "watch it, kid" and I got scared thinking I was somehow a little kid...

      Then he like leaned in and started kissing me. And it ended.



      I ended up waking up for real and looked at the clock, then went back to sleep.

      I believe this LD was also from a false awakening, so i just hurried and went outside. My neighbor across the street was out and I remember feeling paranoid she was studying me. I hopped in the car and it wouldn't start. I sat for what felt like 10 minutes trying to start it and feeling annoyed because I wanted to continue with the dream.

      Then I remember going to the lawn and there was an old station wagon there, so i got in. There were people I didn't really know in it but they felt as if they were supposed to be family. I looked in the rear-view mirror and I did look a bit odd, so i decided I wanted to be pretty. I changed my looks. I stared into the mirror and focused as I like...morphed my face. It wasn't working too good cuz I kept looking really weird, so i decided I wanted to base my looks off of ariana grande, so i got a picture out (and she didn't looked quite the same as she does irl, but still pretty) and took a few minutes to help get a face I liked.


      (I ended up waking up not long after. I have had some random and short LD's these past few months that I never bothered to post. I am really happy and proud of myself though! I get them without even trying, really. They are slowly lastly longer and I finally am able to do things or have "powers" in them. I am excited and can't wait become even better at this! xD)
    2. Party and Cops Lucid

      by , 09-23-2012 at 03:32 PM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      Party and Cops Lucid

      This marks at least the 4th Suggestion Induced Lucid Dream I've had very recently. This time, Mojoe brought it up. If anyone reads this, let me know if you think SILD is an appropriate name for this.

      I think I was dreaming for a while, but I only remember the point where I became lucid. I was at an out-door party. I was not mingling or anything--just kind of watching the scene. I had done something wrong and the police were after me. They were dressed as civilians, but they were cops.

      Somehow I realized I was lucid, so I decided to beat the shit out of one of the cops. I went to punch him in the face, but I had quicksand punches. I tried to relax and just let the punch fly, realizing I was lucid and it shouldn't be a problem, but the closer I got to his face, the harder it was to hit him. I decided to just fly away to get the fuck out of there.

      It was night. I flew up knowing that the higher I go, the heavier I get, so I tried to focus on a star and just fly towards it. I started flying really fast, but that only lasted a few seconds. Then I saw an airplane. I started flying up towards that. Then the plane was flying down instead of horizontally and it whizzed passed me, though it wasn't big. It remained like the light of the plane from far away as it went passed.

      I continued to fly towards the star, but it became pointless. I then went back down to the party and found a girl. She was pretty cute, so I tore into her top. I felt her skin, but I didn't really get her boobs. DAMN! I have a hard time with my lucids. It was still fun.

      Some guys from the out-door party came around and the cops came back, so I picked up my girl and flew away with her. I landed with another girl. She was tan. I put them side by side and started going into both of their tops. Again, no real boob, but it was nice.

      I don't know what happened then, but something disrupted the scene. Probably the fucking cops again. Anyway, I ended up jumping through a picture. I was transported to another place. Cool! Teleport. I have KristaNicole to thank for that probably.

      I tried to land in my childhood nightmare which has been a dream goal of mine for a long time. I sat cross legged to mimic the position of the Dreamons in my nightmare. I closed my eyes and put my fingers in meditative pose, but it was a fail.

      I opened my eyes and found no scenery at all. I hate that shit! I decided to jump back through the picture and change my scenery. It worked, though I think I also just started acting like some shit was there or something. Parts of the dream are foggy and maybe I'm telling it out of order or something.

      Anyway, I ended up flying to a hill where some people were hanging out. There was a girl lying on a towel or something about 30 feet from a couple doing their thing. I flew to this blond girl and started in with her. I didn't really do anything with her either.

      The success of this dream was mostly length of the dream and teleporting and overcoming my stupid empty-space dream scenes.

    3. be careful what you say

      by , 09-23-2012 at 04:57 AM
      so i don't really remember what was going on before i became lucid, so i'll start with what happened after. I became lucid when me and DCs were hanging at my dads house. I've been lucid a few times yet i havn't ever tried flying so i thought i might give that a go. it was pretty amazing. though i know its a bad idea to go really high on your first time flying i ended up doing it anyway. i flew up towards the clouds (that for some reason looked more like wall paper than a sky) but i soon lost control and came hurdling towards the ground. when i crashed into the ground my surroundings had changed and i was in this swampy type area(it was actually really cool) i then found the head DC and he said he'd show me around. we got into a boat which teleported us to a city. it was pretty cool except for a huge ledge that led into a vastness of nothing.i looked around and i then thought it would be cool to maybe turn into ironman and fly around the city to see this place. for some reason the dream turned my into spiderman so i swung from building to building instead(still pretty cool). upon returning to the edge of the city from my sight seeing i noticed a DC showing his friends he could fly, except he was really close to the edge and for some reason my only thought i could muster was to stop this idiot from killing himself. so flew over and grabbed him away from the edge. when i put him down he suddenly turned into a giant monster, and the only defense i could think of was a kamehameha. so did that while he shot crows out of his hands(wierd right?), but of course the giant laser beam beat the crows and vaporized the monster. after that i don't quite remember what happened it was just alot of going back and forth from the city to swamp. and after a good 2 dream hours of doing this i somehow wound up in a computer room in the swamp, where i met some cool kid, we started talking(i dont really remember what about) but for some reason i thought this kid was just awesome. but then i said "it sucks these people wont show me any other place except the swamp and the city" the kid then responded "be careful what you say" and then all the DCs i had seen at the swamp swarmed into the room and tied me and kid up, and then killed us. i woke up right after that.

    4. [LSD iDoser Attempt] [Lucid Daydream]

      by , 09-23-2012 at 12:54 AM (Searching For The Center of Everything)
      [Wednesday, 19th, 2012] [After Midnight- before I had fallen asleep]
      I turned off the lights, turned on the LSD dose from iDoser (a binaural beat that induces a drugs effects), and lied down with headphones. I folded a shirt over my eyes and I zoned out and began counting down from 847. After awhile I became more and more relaxed, letting my mind become numb... I would recount numbers and forget where I was and restart at random numbers- this is when I knew I was in a trance. I felt detatched slightly... and tried imagining something.

      I imagined myself in a blank white room. Suddenly a potted plant appeared in the center. It grew and grew and grew until it became a Venus Fly Trap plant of giant proportions. It ate "me". But it was just the body, the vessel, for my consciousness- I understood this and made a new one, and walked up to the plant. "You are simply a creation of mine and you cannot hurt me. I love you because I created you." The plant did not try to hurt me again. I walked through the wall to the left with such force, it shattered reality. The scenery outside the white room was a beautiful beach scene; the sun just setting a dark red velvet and vibrant orange against a dark navy sky and ocean. I was high in the air, far above the smooth sand or the water, but I was walking on air, on invisible pulsating steps. I walked a distance and then decided to travel along the pulsating steps like monkey bars. I dropped down so that my hands could hold on to the level where my feet just were and I pulled myself along as if they WERE monkey bars. Still pulsating a clear crystal light.

      At that moment I reinvented the scenery. I was in a blank room again, but this time I was seated behind a table. I invited my subconscious and/or dream guide to appear and they did. Four figures walked in through the door instantly and each took a seat on the opposite side of the table. I made note of their appearance first... on the far left was a fiery feline female with fiery-colored hair, a mix of orange, red, and yellow. Second, was a huge muscular, black-iron-armorered figure with a fiery green skull with flames licking high into the air. Third from the left was a human walking-stick. Almost simply put, a bamboo man. Just a stick of bamboo going straight up into the air. Last, on the very right- I couldn't make them out very well. It was as if they were invisible, and I could only sense their Galka like presense.

      I announced the reason for this gathering first, speaking in a pronoun that was mixture of I and We: "I/We are in a state of great confusion and despair. I/We are broken and must do something. We must become one, and work together to solve the problems we face." I stopped after the sentence and asked if anyone would be willing to finish my sentence due to how cloudy my conscious mind was. The 1st aspect chimed in and tried to finish, as my conscious mind jumped into her body- I saw from her eyes and began to talk... but trailed off, most likely because I, without meaning to, took control of her. Someone else chimed in right after, it was the 4th invisible Galkan aspect... I don't remember what he said, but it was full of force and meaning... and it made perfect sense. After he finished I stressed the importance of lucid dreaming: "It would be beneficial to US to lucid dream. We could solve a great deal from it and the daily link between all of us. We need to lucid dream." I was conditioning all of us- we all knew that I was hypnotizing the whole room. I was strengthening the importance of my conscious mind being present in dreams. After this I asked: "Okay, so who are you?" I was referring to each individual aspect of me. The first, the female aspect spoke up immediately: "I'm your female side, and I'm the one who emits light! I keep you on track and keep you afloat with joy!". I believed every word she spoke. I turned my attention to the stick. It radiated the answer: "I am your intellect. Your intelligence. The one who collects wisdom and shares it with everyone here." I couldn't sense a strong color from him. The next to speak was the ghostly presense of the armored man. He spoke something like this: "I am the one who keeps you alive. I know what you need- I make the hard decisions that benefit you, that you don't want to make." I understood. He was the line that knew when he was crossed. I looked at the invisible aspects seat- but never got an answer.

      "Are you my dream guide?" There was no reply.

      I was thrust back out of my imagination and into reality. I could feel a slight tingling sensation all over and I felt slightly detatched from my body. Thinking about this re-inforced my attatchment and I was back in my room again, listening to the vibrations in my headphones. I lied there for awhile and until the crackling in the headphones that's ALWAYS there kind of made my neck-hairs stand and I had to sit up. I sat up slowly and looked around. I could DEFINITELY feel something. The room was dark, but I could see exceptionally well. The clock on the wall was stretching and breathing. The whole room was stretching and breathing! I put my hands up in front of my face and I can't explain how alien my movements were... I felt like I was viewing from far, far away. I looked down at my blanket and it resembled a tangled mess of brain. The light coming under the door pulsated gently a light green mixed with turqoise. The patterns on the pillow moved like vines- just like in Fear and Loathing's Casino Carpets. The wall to my right was Tiger striped; shadows dashed ever-so-carefully across the white. The entire room was a calming, breathing dark mess of storage- it was new to me, as if I had never been there before. I brought my hands up to my face again, not exactly sure what I was doing, and I drew a cross on my left palm with my right index, then drew a circle on my right palm- then I clasped my hands together gently.

      The dose still going on- I got impatient and took my headphones off. I heard a noise that did NOT exist in real life. My computer was making it... it sounded as if it was some sort of alien technology... making vibrating laser beam sounds. Like a woobawoobawoobawooba, but much faster and much higher pitched. I knew it was just my brain being confused from the binaural beats, but it was still fun to listen to. I crawled across my bed and crawled into the computer's chair and turned the screen on... after a few seconds of another strange feeling, I sobered up and typed this.
    5. Lucid Dream #39: DILD

      by , 09-23-2012 at 12:12 AM (Siuol's Dream Journal)
      I cannot remember anything about this really. I remember other dreams from the night, but this was further back, and instead of writing it down I just went in for more sleep. What I do remember was that it was short, and I didn't do much. I remember thinking it was a dream, not that sudden realization I love, but more of just a transition into knowing. I felt my body and thought that I was only imagining it, but then remembered that wasn't the position I was actually sleeping in. I made sure I was in a dream, and that I knew it was a dream so I could count it as lucid, then faded out. I should start remembering what to do once I get lucid, rather than just hoping for a lucid, otherwise I will ruin the few I have.

    6. Death was my prince charming

      by , 09-22-2012 at 06:35 PM
      I dreamed that death had to come on a journey with me, at first all i saw was a hooded figure in a white cape with a scythe, he tells me he is the grim reaper, but for some odd reason i wasn't scared. he walks by me and takes off his hood, then i get this feeling like i know him from somewhere, i just cant shake the feeling how familiar he is. he was beautiful...tall, fair skin, jet black shaggy hair, toned, i asked him to look at me, and he wouldn't, so i grabbed his face with both hands to make him look at me, and .....those eyes...those deep blue eyes............i feel in love instantly. he hugged me as if it had been a hundred years since he last saw me.... a warm embrace and i never wanted him to let go. i felt this strong connection on like a spiritual level with this guy, a deeper connection then i ever thought i could hope for. it just felt like id known him my entire life and then some, like a past life

    7. I destroyed the dream world on accedent.

      by , 09-21-2012 at 11:05 PM (Zechariah's Dream Journal)
      The first dream I had was of very little importance. I don't remember much of it, literally the only piece of it I can recall was Mulder from the X-files was gay. It didn't really make sense.

      The second dream that was actually memorable started out with me and my sister Rose at the park. I've been chanting a reminder in my head the past few days to attempt one of the DreamViews monthly challenges where you shrink your perspective down to the size of a tiny bug and explore the world. I finally remembered to do that in this dream, but it didn't last as long as I would hope. So, back to the plot.
      Rose and I were walking around with my niece in a stroller, like we have actually done in the past- nothing seemed out of place. I actually visit this park frequently in real life, it's down the street from my house. We walked along the pathway going through the grass and saw a small commotion over by the Park&Recreation office building, that's also next to the main playground. We made our way over to the side of the building and saw what everyone was buzzing about. There was a strange red-orange orb of energy hovering next to the sidewalk near the street. The orb had a dark ominous larger field of energy surrounding it, but you could tell the it the dark energy was radiating out of the smaller red one. I began to analyze my setting, trying to figure out what that could possibly be. It felt dark, and foreboding. I started to become lucid just then, I'm not sure if it was out of luck or if my critical thinking during the day is just paying off.
      I decided then that I wanted to get rid of that energy in the park. I attempted to create a orb of white and good energy to blend with the red one and nullify it but my white energy didn't seem to last very long. This is the part where it gets interesting. I decided to take an alternate route. I wanted to harness whatever this orb was, it obviously was of great importance in my head. But I also was reminded of my goal of shrinking, so I decided that if I DID get to explore the world of a bug or bacteria, it would be a well precaution to absorb the energy of that orb before going under, incase of any potential difficulties. I calmed my mind and focused on the perspective of my size. I wanted to make focus on both making myself smaller and the things around me larger. I focused my intent and closed my eyes for a technique that I usually use to summon things in front of my vision, but instead- I opened them to be standing next a forest of grass!
      I made my way just through a few blades and onto the side walk. The building next to me was much, much larger than it had been before and the projectile of my vision made the dark orb look like a red sun. This new light made the orb seem even more ominous, and what happened next- I guess I should have left undone. I began to expand the orb in my mind before I attempted to absorb it. I made it grow in size about twice as large as it had been but then, it ripped appart my dream. I guess it turned into some sort of black whole, the world went dark and I saw shapes of space and matter flying into it's spot until everything went dark and the dream ended. I woke up later, excited about the incredible visuals of the explosion but... it was unfortunet that I didn't get to roam around as a tiny me a bit longer.
    8. *LUCID* WILD low mental focus hungover

      by , 09-21-2012 at 09:12 PM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      Thoughts
      Lucid
      Non lucid

      I was so hung over this morning I went back to bed after being up for 3 hrs. I decided to attempt WILD. I didn't really care if I got any sleep I just wanted to lay down. I started on my left side. I watched a lot of HI. I have been getting too excited in SP that I wake up. Some people don't have the SP and I have notice before that sometimes I just transition with the HI. Well that doesn't work well for me most of the time but I was trying to tell myself that I could do that and not get excited. So I really focused on the visuals more than the physical sensations.

      I picked "get lucid" as my mantra and focused on HI.
      I hit SP and got way excited I started a lot of inner dialogue. "Oh yes this is it here we go ya omg ah shit" I woke up. I then I got up to pee and went back to bed on my right side and started the WILD again. I basically dropped the mantra and just meditated and watched HI until SP kicked in.

      This time I stayed relaxed. Instead of transitioning out of my bed like usual I just visualized but didn't have much clarity of thought. It was more like strong HI. It was something like me looking at a video game and I was trying to move crustations that looked like little grey balls in the water with my mind. I wanted to shrink them but couldn't. I guess I had TOTM on my mind

      Then that visual went away and I had a FA. I was so disappointed with my LD that I just rolled over from my left to my right side. I thought about the lucid dream and thought "Well that one sucked" (I didn't catch this until I actually woke up but I wasn't on my left when I started the WILD. I was on my right the whole time!)

      So being in the dream still but not knowing it I noticed I still had residual SP vibrations. I thought it was really odd that it came back so fast. I checked by rolling my eyes to the back of my head (Sometimes that makes the vibrations more intense.) I was glad I was in SP and I just relaxed but I think I fell non lucid after that. I don't really remember much after that. There's just a fragment about seeing my dad.

      The last time I actually WILD I had a lot of confusion but I my awareness we a lot better. If I wan't hung over I probably would have had it. Oh well, at least I was able to get lucid. I was starting to think that I was in a bit of a dry spell. Plus my hangover is gone! Now that I have more confidence tonight should be a good one as long I don't drink

    9. Lucid#5

      by , 09-21-2012 at 03:49 PM (dolphin's dreams)
      Commentary-
      After a usual WBTB, I tried to WILD. I think I got close as I couldn't feel my body but I got no vibrations to let me know I was successful. After about an hour, I gave up and went to sleep. I woke up again, this time with my eyes closed and tried to DEILD but was unsuccessful again. I inadvertly went back to sleep on my back not performing any techniques and, wouldn't you know it, got a DILD out of it.

      Lucid#5-
      I knew I was dreaming when I woke up in a room that wasn't mine. I was in a dorm room of some sort. I got up, examined my hands as I read in a tutorial and said "stabalize now". After I stabalized, I tried to spin to try teleport myself to work but wasn't successful because I couldn't spin fast enough. It was as if my sleep parylsis was weighing me down. I was looking for a particularly attractive co-worker of mine I don't get to see too much. I walked outside and saw what looked like a receptionist desk. I asked the receptionist if the girl I was looking for was there. She said she was and started to lead me to her. We walked through what looked like a computer room where lots of college age kids were studying. "Here she is!" she said. She directed me towards a computer two ladies were sitting at. After taking a look at the ladies I found the receptionist was mistaken as she had just led me to two random, unattractive, geeky girls. My frustration caused the dream to end.

      Commentary-
      It seems like I still can't directly perform a WILD or DEILD if I try to. I will have to continue to focus on MILDing and use to former as a backup. It also seems like I have to get out of the room I wake up in before trying to spin to teleport myself.

      I think this might be the first time I got lucids on consecutive days! I'll hope for another one tommarow so I could try teleporting again.

    10. Lucid #77 & 78

      by , 09-21-2012 at 12:34 PM (Magic Box)
      I had two lucids during my nap this noon!

      The first one was a false awakening, and the interesting thing about it was that in the FA, I had sleep paralysis. Until now I can't be sure if I had it in real life, or if I had it in the dream. Either way, it felt really amazing. My chest was so tight that I couldn't breathe. I realized that I was in sleep paralysis and I calmed down. I am also proud of myself for remembering not to panic even though I couldn't breathe or move. Of course I think it kinda helped that I have asthma irl, because I knew how to maximize my breathing when I have trouble with it. Anyway in about 2 minutes, I opened my eyes and found myself beside my mom on my bed. I reality checked via noseplug, and I could breathe! I also pushed my finger through my hand and really observed. It went through, and it felt really cool and strange. I looove catching FA's!

      Went out and remembered something a DV member mentioned on here. He was wondering what it felt like and if it was possible to have four arms in a lucid. I gave that a go. I closed my eyes and imagined two more arms sprouting indian goddess style on my hips. When i opened my eyes, they were there, and I could control them the same way I would any other body part. It's hard to describe because it's similar to how you control the movement of one eyebrow or making your ears move – it's something you can't really teach or explain. But it was so cool nonetheless. I did a little indian goddess pose, the one with the arms in diffent directions while squatting. Hahaha. Then walked around and lost lucidity.


      The second lucid was spontaneous, and it was one of those "lucidity via dream atmosphere", as I would call it. Just something about the atmosphere that's a bit off, even though everything looks realistic. Kinda like when you go away on a long vacation, and when you come back home, it feels a bit odd at first, if you know what I mean. Anyway, I was outside, and decided to fly with angel-type wings. I've only used those kinds of wings once in a previous lucid goal, but I wanted to try it again. And so I did. I ran on the ground for a few meters, then jumped up and imagined unfurling my huge fluffy wings. I looked to my side and I could hear them flapping every few moments or so. I felt free. I flew back down after a few minutes, and got tangled up in some wires. Lost lucidity some time after that.

      In RL decided to allow dinasaurs to eat me. I thought it would be interesting to be eaten by dinasaurs.
      I was walking in the cave, remembered that its a dream, made RC. I went to the wall and wanted a door, but appeared only door handle. I turned it , the wall opened and i made a step in the ashient ocean. The water was very clear and soon i saw 2 big kronosaurus. They ate me very qucikly - just swam to me and began to eat my legs. I threw up and awoke.

    12. 3 DILDs

      by , 09-20-2012 at 09:13 PM (Ophelia's Book O' Fun II)
      I had 3 DILDs back to back early this morning. They weren't DEILDs because I didn't fade from awareness into the dream. Each time, I would just be kinda drowsy, then I'd get lost in some HI, the dream would start for a few seconds, then something would trigger me into lucidity. Still fun.

      I don't have alot of time, had some crises this morning and I forgot some stuff, so I'll just run through what I remember.

      I thought I had just woken up, but I felt weird. I started to get up slowly, wondering if I was lucid, and I felt it right away. But when I got out of bed and headed for the door, same thing as last time: it felt like my blankets were stuck to my body. Again, I just ignored it rather than fussed with it, and went out the bedroom door. Again, as soon as I left the bedroom and was in the hallway, the blankets were gone. I decided to do one of my personal goals, which was to just wander around, and let the dream do what it wanted without trying to control things. I walked outside and it looked like it was dusk. My vision was kinda blurry, but I just went with it. I sat down in the front lawn, and looked at the grass. The blades were really big, green and hairy. I touched one, it was really rigid too. I picked it, and it started oozing a green puss like liquid. It appeared to be oozing more than it could possibly hold. I squeezed it and a whole bunch oozed out on the ground. Gross. Then I felt randy, changed gender, and found a dude. Had some fun and woke up. I pretty much did the "had some fun" part 2 more times and that was that.

      Sorry for the lack of detail. I felt kinda blah when I started the dream, so I didn't give it a full go anyway.

    13. My first WILD! Lucid#4

      by , 09-20-2012 at 04:01 PM (dolphin's dreams)
      Commentary-
      Last night began like my last couple nights have. I'd been having a good amount of dreams but my lack of mental focus was keeping me from becoming lucid. After another non-lucid dream (didn't remember much), I decided I just needed more focus in order to get a lucid dream. I decided to try a new mantra I came up with,"Stay relaxed, stay focused, wait for the dream to begin". Trying this mantra, I found it tough to go to sleep because now I was so focused I couldn't fall asleep. Trying to strike a better balance, I used that mantra and then tried to go to sleep with my usual technique. I tried to stay nice and still too hoping I might run into a wild. Let's see: staying still, mentally and physically relaxed, going to sleep, staying focused. I wonder what's going to happen next...

      Lucid #4-
      All of the sudden, my body started heavily vibrating. After a few seconds, the vibrating stopped and as I opened my eyes and found my vision was a bit more blury than usual, I knew I was dreaming. I got up out of my bed and went outside. I tried to transform myself into a seagull, one of things I earlier figured I would try to do next time I was lucid. I was about halfway successful I think. I did transform into a sort of bird but my feet weren't webbed all the way. I flew to a park down the road from my house. I don't completely remember what happened at the park but I know I transformed back to normal as I started to walk around. I wasn't sure what to do at this point. I noticed a girl playing by a large puddle and was tempted to push her in but thought the better of it. I thought about trying a backflip again but figured I would fail again. So, I picked some speed and jumped up to fly again to look around. As expected the surronding neighborhood was a lot more detailed than in lucid #2 as I was flying around the area where I lived. The entire area was more of a pinkish yellow than usual, probably because it was early morning. I was flying in the direction of a golf course where I have played often so I figured I would try golf again. I landed at San Ramon Golf Club on the 15th hole near the approach to the green. I landed and rubbed my hands thinking "I'm dreaming" to stabalize. I picked a spot about 150 yards from the green. I knew how far it was because the wooden yardage markers that used to be there returned. The ground was wet and spongy, probably from the evening sprinklers. I aligned myself to the target and tried to get a club to appear again. "Golf club now!" I shouted. Only this time, there was nothing. At this point I was a bit frustrated and a pit bull approached me. "What are you doing here! Go away!" I ordered. The pit bull bit my leg and wouldn't let go. A couple of seconds later a slightly futuristic looking female dream character, presumably the owner of the pit bull, started talking to me. I didn't remember what she said as most of my attention was on the pit bull biting me. As I started to lose focus, I looked around, probably for help, and noticed a futuristic male dream character, probably the pit bull owner's husbund and a groundskeeper with a leaf blower as my dream ended.

      Commentary-
      I didn't think I could WILD but obviously I can! I'm still going to focus on MILDing but it's nice to know I now have a backup method in case it doesn't work. Maybe this WILD success will inspire my to try DEILD once again as my tv habit is really starting to go away for good. In my next lucid dream, I'll try spinning to try to change my enviornment at will. I've been trying dream incubation the last couple of nights but no luck so far. I really need to work on my dream control but that will come with practice I assume.

    14. wtf giant mole

      by , 09-20-2012 at 12:34 PM
      FYI. the mole is a bit latter. Ok when the dream started i was in a military base and im being chased by people i run around corners until i lose them i go into a room and there's a girl from my old school i thought she cant be here then i go semi lucid.
      (cant seem to go full lucid ever!). well in my dreams im a little of a perv and i pull off her pants there are no panties and i start touching her pussy. i start to feel something and the dream shifts im in the same room but she is gone, then a soldier comes out of a vent and one jumps through a window and some how i fight them off im not strong and the details get VERY hazy during the fight, well i go and run to an exit where there is a man i know somehow and for some reason he is creating a path on the floor out of sandals like 6 or so, sandals wide and for some reason i start to help him and i get close to done he walks out of a door and leaves, well i fall through the floor and im in a cave network in my mind i go HELL NO! and im at my moms house but the caves followed me and there where random holes around the house and a giant mole was grabbing people so i start to pack my stuff trying to decide what to keep and what to leave i grab my comp and some books and then the mole grabs me (i swear i could feel it) well it grabed me and started to bring me down the hole but it sees someone else and goes after them with me in its mouth (if you could call squiggly things a mouth) it puts me on the floor and puts a foot on my back (felt that too) and i said aloud in my dream ok im done with this and i woke up.

    15. I'm so sorry, you're not real.

      by , 09-20-2012 at 06:45 AM (Zechariah's Dream Journal)
      These dreams started out in a huge grass field. The field was surrounded by trees and hills, and my brother Jeremy and I came across a cabin. The strange thing about this cabin though, was it was about fifteen feet above the ground suspended on ropes from the tree on above it. We looked around it for a while and designated it as our new hangout spot.
      The next scene was very, very interesting. There was a game going on that I was in, and everyone in this game was given a distinct set of abilities. It was in a team deathmatch setting. Players were eliminated if they were thrown down. What made it interesting... was all of the players were jumping from statue to statue, and the statues were coming out of a bed of molten lava. It was like lava tag, in a more literal sense. The statues were interesting, a bunch of different random objects and shapes, but I remember one in particular was a large stone embodyment of a 'long-neck' dinosaur. My personal ability was to morph my body into the body of a large snake. That made it easy for me to perch my self on objects and snag my opponents jumping by with my long body. One of the people on the enemy team though was very, very skilled. Overpowering, I'd say. It was her against my friend Bob, myself and some random person on our team, and we were trying to group up against her. I was wrapped around one of the stones and I needed to make a large leap across the pit to group with my mates, but it seemed too risky. Instead of making the jump I extended my long body across half way while Bob was extending his hand, so I wrapped around his wrist and then onto the stone he was hanging from.
      The scene changed but the game continued. The setting was a beach now. Not on the sand, but there was a manmade cement area built off the coast. On the cement my team had stairs leading up to a pedistal in which the other team couldn't step foot on. If they stepped onto it, they instantly lost. The enemy girl was still there, and my brother Jeremy and I were standing in the circle. I managed to steal one of these canisters that were the base of her abilities. The canisters sprayed a cloud of toxins into the air that knocked out whoever breathed it. I sprayed it once but it didn't work, Jeremy pointed out the wind was facing the wrong direction. So I ran around and released it into the air in the right angle but got both her and myself with it, ending the game but making me super dizzy. Jeremy wanted to go off and do something but I couldn't even stand up for a minute or two. We decided to let the girl from the other team hang out with us for a while, she had nothing better to do. We walked awhile and the dream scene changed again, we were back to that field and we went up inside of the cabin to show our new friend around. After getting up and taking a look around we all jumped back down and I was struggling to put the door back in it's place before we left. The door was also held to the house on a long rope, not on hinges. So the way to close the door was to set it exactly in the phrame of the door. I finally managed to get it well in, and began to walk off- when I heard wood crack and knew the door had fallen out of it's phrame. I jumped out of it's way and knocked our new friend out of the way as well. Right as I looked backwards, the door swung just a foot away from my face. "Phew! that was scary as shit." I said.
      At this point I'm not sure where he went, but I realized Jeremy wasn't there anymore. We decided to go find him, I think the dream hinted to me that he told me where he was going, so we set off walking.
      On the way to find him, we stopped by the girl's dad's house. He lived in a small house in the forest surrounding our grass fields. He was a really nice guy, clean cut and polite- but also looked like he knew his way around the outdoors.
      We also made another stop at my wife's aunt Nadine's house because I had to use the restroom. That restroom scene was so very uncomfortable, because the restroom was so small. And for some reason, they had a rigid shelf full of tiny relics that were filled with liquids, and no matter how careful I tried to move around the bathroom, even a small step would wobble the shelf and cause things to get knocked over. I spent a lot of the time in that place trying to re-arrange the little items on this shelf.
      Finally, it was night time, and I realized how long it had been since I last saw Jeremy. I began to suspect that something was strange. It hit me pretty fast, but I looked around and thought about what was going on throughout the day- and realized this was all just a dream. I looked at my new friend and became a bit sad. It was unfortunet that our new friend wasn't real to be honest. I said "This is strange to say, but I just realized something. I'm dreaming, that means that you aren't real. And looking around for Jeremy now is pointless, this is in my head."
      She gave me a look for a moment, analyzing what I said. "Are you sure?... I think I understand what you're saying, but I feel real." she said. This was also depressing in the moment, I said Yes I'm sure, I'm so sorry, you're not real. The meloncoly of the moment projected itself in her character, she became sad and told me that she understands, she would just leave and let me get on with my business. I flew up in the sky, and spotted the father's house that I visited earlier. I still knew it was a dream, but I decided to be kind to... my mind, I guess. I flew her back to her dads house, and was about to begin practicing my lucid control, but my dream ended.

      The next dream scene I had was very short. It was night time, and I was walking across the street, up to an open mini-mart. At that moment, I had a weird feeling of deja-vu- but as if I had a dream about this very moment. That small thought distracted me from the possibility that, this itself was the dream.

      The last dream I had was about my sister Rose and I going to get donuts. We drove into a parking lot on the way to get donuts, because for some reason the car couldn't be taken in the donut stores lot. I got out and began walking to the store, it was about a block away or so. As I began to cross the street, I noticed that my vision was so terribly blurry. It looked like I was half knocked out or something, a large portion of my vision was blackened. But I could make out a little bit, enough to have good reason to believe that I wouldn't be ran over if I crossed at a certain moment. I J-walked succesfully acrossed the road and over the center devider. My vision and balance was just as bad once I was on the sidewalk on the other side. I felt my glasses hanging from my shirt, so I put them on. It helped a bit, but there was still black areas in my vision. I never ended up getting to any donut shop, but the scene changed to a park setting.
      I was sitting on the ground with one of my old girlfriends, but in a different light I guess. Her character was just some friend on decent terms. This didn't take me long to figure out. She said something about her shoes, and I looked at them and thought to myself... this is a dream.
      "The hell are you doing in my dream?" I said, with no point in the question I guess.
      "What are you mad about? We're just friends." she replied.
      "No we're not, fuck you." I said, and walked away. lol.
      It sounds like I was being harsh, but I wasn't. Trust me. My alarm went off then and I got up for work.
