lucid

I'm writing this entire night a second time, because I accedently pushed 'Back' on this page after I wrote it the first time(rage). So, I'll start out by saying that I have definitly had some strange dreams. We've all had some pretty strange dreams. Dreams are of the nature of being strange usually, but last night I honestly don't know how they got so out of the ordinary. There were about six to ten different scenes in total, I'll start with the first I remember.

The first scene began in some sort of fantasy land. It was night time, but the night time here glowed. The glowing setting of this place was a dark shade of blue, it was peaceful. My body was in the form of a centaur. But not only did I have the four legs of a horse, I had a pair of wings on my back as well. This dream had a great deal to do with magic, although I don't remember what I was trying to accomplish with magic per say. All I really recall fondly is that I was a flying centaur, and that is badass.

The second dream was in a fancy room. The walls were red, and the carpets, plants, and sofas matched it well. Also there were a few nice paintings along the wall that I noticed. My sister and a few of her friends were sitting on one of the couches talking as I lucidly flew around the room inspecting it. I wanted to continue the scenes, so I made a door in the wall and told everybody to follow me. I didn't know where the door led to, I wanted it to suprise me. So I opened it and walked into the hall way of a mall. On the right side was a marble wall and then a corner that went into the main sections and on the left was a wall made of glass that allowed you to see outside. I don't think this dream continued any longer- it shifted to another scene.

My sister and I walked out of our house with our dog, Chiquis. We walked across the street and said hello to our niece. We talked to her for a bit and let Chiquis walk around the grass. There were a few dogs walking around as well that I didn't notice before. They started to surround Chiquis and sniff her. She gets really nervous around other dogs, and she looked scared shitless to be frank. I was in a sort of strange half lucid state at this point, so I grew out my claws and fur and grew a few inches. I walked towards the group of dogs surrounding mine and let out a menacing growl that sent them running in all directions. Then I picked my baby Chiquis up and pet her for a little while. She liked my fury form. Here's where the dream became extremely... out of the ordinary. I'm not sure how this all happened.

People, turned into things that weren't human. I still considered them normal people in the dream, but everyone I encountered now had bodies shaped as dirty mounds of moving flesh. Their skins were all shades of green and brown and their anatomy's just did not make sense, it's so hard to explain. There was a couple walking down the sidewalk in front of me. Their grotesque blob-bodies where formed into one body with two heads when they were happy with each other, but when they began to fight their bodies would seperate. The male's mouth was in sections of four, and opened and closed in all different angles when he talked; and the female's mouth was came out of her face long and skinny with tiny lips at the end. They talked like normal people, acted like normal people- but everything was weird. The buildings around me were strange and flesh looking. Some went up for miles, others were regular size. They all had wholes and isles like a huge building of large entrails. Still walking down the sidewalk, I began recieving the feeling I was in danger- something was following me. I knew what it was in the dream, but now that I think of it I had no idea really. I began turning corners and picking up my speed when I stopped, almost running into a large neon orange fox shaped creature. The creature was probably the size of my livingroom, and had the body of shaped like a fox. But it didn't have fur, just solid bright mass. It's eyes were red, but not at all sinister. And it talked to me in my head. It's own head so so beatiful, but I can't imagine any way that I could explain it's shape right. The front of it's head had the eyes and nose in place, in the front- but the head was large, and it went back a good length. It was almost a cone shape going backwards, but the shape was made out of a large clump of curling and tethered orange tendons. I jumped on it's back and held on. It had the ability to run on any surface, straight up, straight down, upside down- you name it. We ran through twisting caverns and tunnels of the flesh like buildings I meantioned before, she went so fast. I couldn't hardly keep up with the way she moved. Her voice was soft and calming. She was a good pet.
"So, I couldn't help but notice your horns. Are you one of the demon folk around here?" She asked me. In the dream, for some reason in that moment I was one of the beings they called demons in the city. But in this strange "Ugly Americans" sense. It seemed like the more grotesque you were here, the cooler you were. "Yeah, that's me." I replied. I was having a hard time thinking of conversation at the speeds we were going. We finally got to the complete other side of the town, and she let me off. "Thank you so much." I said. And she jumped away.

The next dream was vivid and horrific, almost like a nightmare but not really. Now everything looked like this world. There was no distortion, it was vivid and realistic. I was walking through a very dirty and runned down area. It looked like a ghetto, but like... a ghetto after the apocolypse had happened or some shit. It was just wrecked. I was walking down an alley, and started seeing corpses here and there. They were rapped up in white tissues, almost like mumification, but less tactful. The body count increased, soon there were piles of these wrapped up bodies. I came upon a giant lot. It looked like a meat farm, but all of the hanging meats were human bodies. More of the bodies that I'd seen, all wrapped up in white material. Some of them were alive I noticed. There were a few workers in the lot, and they formed a twisted lotto game. They'd roll the numbers, and the body that had the same number got their wraps cut off. They got to run away if they were still alive. It was a strange and intensely disturbing scene, mostly because of how calm everyone was with it; other than the people who were wrapped up and hanging upside down.

I ran out into the street and saw my wife and friends, and Tom Cruise(!?). The mood of the dream changed dramatically and I randomly became lucid. I didn't know why Tom Cruise was there, but I went along with it. He had a narley car, and they wanted to go off and do something. My friend Nick jumped in the drivers seat. I motioned my hand up, and he was lifted up in the air and landed in the back seat. "Ahah, dibs." I said and flew into the drivers spot.
"Don't worry Tom, if I wreck your car- I'll fix it." I said, and took off much to fast to be safe in traffic. One part of me wanted to be safe and calm in the car, the other half just wanted to bust it's horse power. So we took off, swearving in and out of the legal peramiters of the road. I remember lastly pulling into a parking structure and everyone getting out. I'm not sure where the dream went after that, but altogether- it was a memorable night.

I had a false awakening once, and sat in bed listening to my brother Jeremy talk to his mom outside of the room. (I was spending the night) But then I woke up shortly after.

(This is a catch-up post. This dream took place on the night of August 22-23, 2012.)

Awake, Non-lucid, Lucid, [Commentary made while awake]

My mom and I are watching a play together. The play features a girl and a creepy, life-sized puppet that is designed to be a body double of her. I see that $OfficeBoss is there, watching the play with his family. Then, my mom and I go out to the parking lot and drive away in the same car together, even though we both have cars there. We can only start one of our cars, not the other one, because neither of us has the right key for that one.

I'm in the Phoenix, Arizona metro area on vacation, visiting my good friend, JM. I have my own car [which I never do when I go to visit him, because I always fly there and get rides around town with him and his friends - this should have been my first clue that I was dreaming, but it wasn't], and I'm driving east along the freeway, heading in the direction of JM's house. The scenery around me is incredibly beautiful and lush, with lots of desert plants.

JM and I are hanging out in a bar together, totally chilling out on a sofa. I'm drinking a beer that someone else abandoned on a table. We walk out of the bar, which is located in a shopping mall. As we're on our way out of the mall, we find another friend of ours, ET [a human - yes, those are his initials], in another of the mall's shops. I realize it's him when I hear his voice. A bunch of our friends are with us now. ET hugs everyone in the group (myself, JM, CF, and a couple of others), except for RD. RD doesn't want to be hugged, and uses her fingers to climb up the side of a door to get away from ET. ET tickles her on the small of her back instead.

I'm walking through a beautiful Arizona landscape of desert farms, and at this point, I finally realize that I'm dreaming. I focus on the fact that the guard dogs that many of the farms have cannot really hurt me when I'm in a dream. I run away from one of them by flying straight up, and then start flying over the lovely scenery, admiring it. Looking southwest, I can see downtown Phoenix, which has skyscrapers and a giant stone head with a big, wide-open mouth. Just after I've started flying, my alarm goes off and wakes me up.

Date Reservation (LUCID)

As I walk past the front desk of a cafe, I see a high school classmate whom I've always thought quite attractive. I haven't talked to her in a long time, but unfortunately I'm busy. So when we make eye contact, I only say "Hi!" and indicate that I don't have time to talk. A few steps later, though, I regret it. It seems really rude to pass up the chance to catch up with an old acquaintance. I wish I was in the sort of world where I could just walk up and cuddle with people and no one would care. But wait, I am! I'm dreaming! I don't even bother with a reality check before I turn around and walk back towards her.

Hesitantly, I sidle up to her and put my arm around her waist. Her shirt feels like it's made of some kind of silky fabric. Her only reaction to this seems to be resignation; she continues talking with the front desk clerk, with occasionally a few words for me. I stare at her eyes. They're pretty, and I think green, but it's like looking at a picture. Nothing moves much, and I can't read anything from her face. Eventually she says, "Come on, our table's this way." I guess she's done arranging things with the clerk.

We have a circular table right next to a window. Every other table in the cafe has a dark surface, but ours is quartered in primary colors: one quadrant red, one green, one yellow, one blue. "Of course," I groan. Of course our table would be singled out in the most gaudy way possible. And when we get nearer, I see that my chair is covered in crumbs and other meal residue. Ugh. "Well," I say, "the only thing to do is wipe it off." We commence using our hands to brush the crumbs onto the floor. It takes a while. [Clearly I wasn't very lucid by this point.]

Meanwhile, the girl is giving me a few warnings. She says, "If this is about Uncle Bill, please don't be too awkward about it." Somehow she's romantically involved with him, I guess? It's become clear she's rather uncomfortable with the whole situation, and I'm starting to get uncomfortable, too. I wonder if maybe I should try to do some other dream goals, like swimming beneath the ocean. Maybe I could take her with me; she might like that. I ask, "Do you . . . want to go . . . somewhere else, after this?" But whatever her answer, I wake up a few moments later.

Insomnia

Spoiler for Insomnia:

[After waking from that last dream, I tried to picture it in my mind as I fell back asleep. But that only made it harder for me to fall back asleep, I think. I don't remember when I finally dropped off, but this next dream was probably inspired by those feelings of frustration.]

It's almost dawn, but I'm still awake. I woke up a while ago from a dream and I haven't been able to get back to sleep. I'm using the computer. Watching videos. Mostly porn. One of the "related videos" on the side has a title that starts with "OMG OMG OMG" and I'm very tempted to click it, before I realize that's exactly what the title's intended to do. The video's probably really stupid. I must be really tired, if I almost fell for that one. I don't watch it.

Later, I find a porn video whose title includes the name of one of my high school crushes. And the thumbnail even looks like her. I'm intrigued, so I watch it. It's kind of sexy, although she never takes off any underwear. I probably should have expected that. She was pretty classy when I knew her.

I look out the window and see one of my roommates coming up the driveway on a motorcycle. Huh. I hadn't realized he wasn't home. It's almost seven, so he must just be coming to grab his stuff before going to class. It's a school day. I suppose he slept at some girl's place last night. I'm a bit jealous.

I look back at the video. Surprisingly, now her bra is on backwards, although it has a wide strap. I hadn't noticed that, the first time through. She takes it off entirely--that takes a moment to register--then turns around and leans over. I lean closer to investigate, but a moment later I wake up. (Messily.)

House of Spirits

I'm playing a game where you live in a house with a bunch of spirits. Most of the spirits are evil, so you have to fight them. It's multiplayer, and there are a few other people in the house with me right now. We're going through the rooms trying to roust all of the evil spirits so that none of them will surprise us in our sleep. Usually they don't wake up if you just walk through the room, but they will if you say anything aloud.

While sort of alone in one wing, I accidentally talk to myself, and a spirit starts to coalesce out of the air. Oops. He offers to duel with me, and he even offers to let me use a pretty nice weapon (like a crowbar or something). That's much better than the weapons this game usually lets you use, so this sounds good to me. But spirits can be tricky, so I ask him what his own weapons will be. "Oh, just this metal letter opener and [some other sharp household implement]," he replies. Then he attacks, before I have a chance to realize that his weapons are much more dangerous than mine.

We battle through hallways and rooms. Some other people see us and shout and point, and try to come to assist me. In the end, we defeat the spirit. The rest of the group continues looking for other spirits, but I suddenly realize how silly all of this is. Ghosts aren't real, and I'm tired. I just want to go to bed. My dad sees me abandoning the hunt and starts arguing with me. In response, I try to explain to him that this house isn't even real. It's virtual. Not worth worrying about, see?

wasnt really a nightmare cause it was more like i was watchen a movie than involved with it. there kas a referee during a girls teams for basketball to decide who would get the bell. it was 3 teams nd he stalle d s o muc h and did like the longest inie meenie minie mo people went crazy after ehe picked blue even some of the girlsl were pissed. on the way back to there llittle home a girl in a white dress wiwth blood on her lips cahsed another girl into a bathroom, she like loooked like she wanted to eat the girl and then she had the girl like frozen in the stall some how. when the next girl walked in she chased her to and made that girl like stand dead frozene peeing on the round as she cried. her body blinked as a skeleton so i didnt know which girl was alive or dead. than a sgtronger looking girl wlaked in nd i dont know who won that fight. i

i was going on some trip with my mom but o gpt side rracked with grandma and grandpa and never made it to the vacation.

the other part of the dream i was with hayley and i dont know what we were going but it felt good to see her. eventualy i ended up at my house and i took out the porche go coart for a ride around taylor and was diong a great job shifting when the cops told me to go no further i turned around and made it through some gift shosp that i bought some blue berry potion from that made you dream. i alsaas...... On THE WAY HOME i realized holy shit im dreaming and i can drive this go cart however i want. i decided id drive through a car and i hit the car. i got back in the cart but soon for got i iwas dreaming. next time i will Get up and do somthing completly off the path of wheree my dream was going

I cant remember all the details exactly, because i woke up laughing really hard.

So, in the dream, my dad and I were walking through this abandoned warehouse. I was in a shopping cart for some reason, and when we turned a corner slender man was standing there. This happened a few more times before i realized he couldn't hurt me since i was in a dream. So, I smiled real wide and we kept walking around the place. The next time he appeared, i looked right at him with my smile and then his suit inverted, and he grew a face. His face was really terrified, like i was the scariest thing he's ever seen. Then we started flapping his arms around and running away. We chased him for a few minutes before i ended up in a bedroom by myself.

This is where it made me wake up laughing.

I laid down on the bed because I was tired for some reason. And then slender man walked through the door, he got up right beside me and i smiled again. He inverted and grew a face again, but this time, he started whistling Christmas music. Like Jingle Bells or something. Then i started whistling too.

It was such a weird dream....

9/15 - Short WILD

Used WBTB for about 45 minutes after waking up at 6

After laying down it took awhile to reach imagery. After reaching imagery the first time I paid to much attention to it and set myself back a bit, the next couple times the same thing happened but after a few tries I made it to a transition. My transition was a flash of white followed by the pattern that is on my blanket. I kept my eyes closed, letting the imagery fade and tried to let my dream stabilize before attempting anything. After waiting for about a minute in a black void I opened my dream eyes and found myself in a bed wrapped in covers. The images were very groggy, as I stood up I kept repeating clarity and my dream became noticeably more vivid but nothing like the level of detail I've experienced in the past. Next to the bed was a large bay window and outside of the window sat 4 empty beach chairs fully reclined on a concrete patio that was surrounded by trees. I decided I wanted to go outside so I tried to walk through the window. My attempt was unsuccessful so I walked back and ran into the window trying to pass through it. This time I slammed into the window, again failing to pass through it. As this happened people appeared outside of the window and began walking towards me. They were nonthreatening and seemed to wonder why I was running into the window. As I began to think about how to pass through the window my dream faded without me noticing and I could hear the familiar sound of my bedroom fan.

After this WILD I attempted two more. Both attempts failed and I slipped into non-lucid dreams that were very odd. One involved a FA that I never acknowledged until waking up and the other involved a group of people and a car pulling up to me demanding that I get in. After declining and walking away I had a small child tell me it was time to go on my journey and that I needed to go with the car.

Both the dreams were very thought provoking and while I did not experience the best WILD the dreams that came following the WILD were well worth the effort put into the attempts.


Notes: WBTB 45 minutes @ 6am, sleep mask, ear plugs, fan

Car Argument (LUCID)

From the back seat of the car, I'm having a minor argument with my parents. The situation seems a little ridiculous to me, and when my mom leans over to reveal completely gray hair done in a long braid, I'm pretty certain I'm dreaming. After a nose RC, I'm sure of it. Thank goodness I don't have to deal with this argument any more. But as I try to figure out how to get out of here and start working on my dream goals, I realize that I'm waking up. The interior of the car seems to fade into the view of my bedroom from my bed. For instance, my mom's gray hair becomes a fold in my blanket. Well, that's too bad. [Thinking about this now, there's a good chance that that was actually a false awakening. I'm not sure, though.]

Snarl

[This dream was definitely inspired by the series of videos called "The Walls 2" recently recorded by Yogscast on YouTube, which I watched the day before yesterday. It also happened quite late in the morning (for me)--around 10:30.]

We're playing PVP Minecraft in 2-person teams. There are only two teams left. One member of the enemy team is chasing the other member of my team, while I in turn chase him. We run back to my team's base, then we sandwich him between us and kill him with swords. Excellent! Now, the other guy is hiding underneath the ground here. There are lots of holes in the ground and lots of tunnels, and it's all very confusing, so we're not sure how to get him.

We decide to build an enclosed room with a roof and a tower. So my teammate and I sit down with the Legos and start working. I begin by making the tower, which is a really tall wall built from 1x2x1 blue blocks. I get bored with how slowly it's going, so I try just spreading the blocks like I'm extending a folding telescope. It doesn't work, and my friend laughs at me for trying. Anyway, eventually I finish the tower and start working on the other half of the roof.

Suddenly I hear a violent snarl and I feel as though my head's been seized in the jaws of a big, angry dog. The snarl continues as it starts shaking my head back and forth, up and down, like a very erratic vibration. I spend a panicked second trying to decide what to do--is my friend playing a prank on me?!--before I wake up. It feels like the vibrations continue for a moment before they stop. I sit for a minute in shock before doing an RC and confirming that I'm awake.

[It's crossed my mind that maybe that was a seizure, but I doubt it. More likely I imagined it. Either way, it was a strange experience.]

*Non-Lucid*Lucid*

I was in another dream when I became lucid and when I open my eyes again, I was in my bed looking at the ceiling. I know that I'm still lucid so I tried getting up. It took a lot of effort to simply sit up because my limbs were really heavy. I also had another problem, I keep on wanting to close my eyes. (In past lucid dreams, whenever I close my eyes, it means I will wake up so I didn't want that.) I was laying in bed again and since I couldn't move, I tried to summon PW here. It didn't work but I was out of my bed. I walked to the door and imagined Tokyo to be on the other side, but it was just the familiar hallway when I opened the door. Maybe it didn't work cause I didn't completely imagine the scene? I imagined PW's house, when I opened the door it's like her house but not really... This whole dream, I tried to keep my eyes open and I'm surprised that I didn't wake up earlier on.

09/14/2012
12AM-7AM, 8:30AM-11:30AM

I don't remember much of the scenes before this, but I do remember one time when a women was asking me- when my baby was coming? So... I think I know where this part came from. Just a day ago I was remembering the day my niece was born. My sister was driven over to the hospital but I was too hung over to get up. But before baby came I got up and rode my bike all the way to the hospital. That was one of the worst bike rides ever, but it was worth it when I got there.

Anyways, I was in the back seat of my mother and father's car. I was... about to have a baby. All I could think about is, something doesn't seem right. I'm prepared to have this baby, but they're gonna have to do a C section because guys shouldn't fucking have babies! In this dream world, it was less common for guys to have babies, but it could happen. Then I began to think to myself... I know absolutely nothing about this or how the procedure is done. That doesn't seem like me, I would have already read everything there was to know about it. Then I slowed down, "Wait a minute." I said to my parents. If this was actually happening... I would be able to remember doctos apointments, and all of this information that I would have learned. I was completely unnaware of this shit.

"OH THANK GOD!" I yelled to the front of the car. I motioned my hand at the car in front of us and the back end was lifted off the ground, then fell back down. "I'M DREAMING. PHEW! I'm not pregnant, I'll catch you guys later. This is a weird dream." I said to them. We were driving through a grassy area for some reason, but I flew out of the window and up into the air. I decided to fly right in front of my parents car for fun, they were driving so damn fast and turning a lot. I looked around and found that this grassy area was just a small island. I mean, small. Maybe the width of a football field. I started flying around in circles over the island getting my speeds down. I then noticed an airplane also circling the island. I went a bit higher and flew next to the airplane.
Then I started playing abound with loops, it's incredible to experience flying in vertical loops. The world spinning around you is so fascinating.
I got bored, and before I left just to excersize my power- I crunched the right wing of the plane in mid flight. Sorry passengers, you're not real enough for me to mind.
I started flying away looking for things, and what happened next will blow my mind for a long while. I came up onto this huge green field, with a whole city of old asian architecture. The weird thing is... I've seen this exactly place down to the placements of the buildings at least three times in a lucid dream. I flew over it, wishing I could draw it in real life to show people. I'm not a good artist. I looked in another direction, there was a huge (I mean huge) mansion. It looked like a royal mansion, sparkling colors and all. I wondered what I would find in that place. There were so many doors, who knows. I'd seen that mansion before, but in a different lucid dream. I've never went in. But that didn't stop me, I kept going until I reached one other dream scene that I knew so very well. I flew over a park area, with a few ball courts. I noticed someone had lost their ball so I materialized a new one and chucked it down towards them. "Here!" I yelled from the air. I flew down to the ground, into a non-lucid dream that I had a few weeks ago. But this time, it was way fucking cooler- because I could cheat.
I knew this part was coming. "Hey, we need an extra- do you play football?" One of the big guys said. "Not so much football, but I play it's cousin rugby." I answered on queue. "Alright, good enough. You're up!"
So back to this game I was. I wanted to try a few things though. Someone passed the ball to my direction. I'm terrible at catching things, so I made it come to my hands right in the touchdown. Everyone was pumped, I seemed to be really good. I wanted to experiment with energy shields. That seems like it would come in handy in some kinds of dreams. The ball was again tossed up in he air, I made a case of blue energy around my body. Confident enough in that, I made anouther one appear right where the ball was coming down over the enemy team. The ball bounched off it like I planned, and landed smack dab back into my hands. This was great. lol.

This is where I stopped remembering. I think my WBTB alarm went off. The night was a success.

I almost had three lds this morning. The first was about 6am, during looking over this big wall at an overly big star gazing universe kinda backdrop, this darkness came over my vision which felt really like my whole head and this is when i realized i was dreaming, this amazing body buzz and warmth pulsated through my body and as it intensified and started to totally engulfed me i began to shoot through this hypnagogic state, but as it seemed like i was going to break through into something like a dreamscape, i got scared and woke up. The second near ld was i guess what you call a wbtb, (sorry im new to this so please bare with me this is my first dj entry) as i was falling back to sleep at around 7am i started to get that same sleep paralysis feeling and so when the buzzing total engulfed me, this time i pushed really hard to get through and the hypnagogia was more like tunnel vision as i flew through, but as my visions started to open up, i felt this presence in my room and in my peripherals and standing over me around my room it seemed fading in were these like spiritual kinda oompa loompas, lol but they werent funny, they were overwhelming and this woke me up. The third was during a dream i was having i guess probably around 8am, i was dreaming that i was in a bookstore buying a book on lucid dreaming, while i was standing in line to buy the book i was playing with this light switch and plug thingy in the wall by the checkout, as a childhood friend got in line beside me, i said hi Chris really exited, but i told him the handshake was coming a little slow because my hand was numb because of electrocution from playing with the light switch and plugy thing, the moment i shook his hand, boom, he disapeared and i became a different person (an older gentlemen that was a scientist) as he/i got back in line the line was much longer and there was a lot of commotion for people wanting to cut in line (someone even flashed a gun at one time) so right before i was next in line, i let these to girls go cut in before me, after they checked out and the clerk was ringing me up, the clerk knew me from coming in to the bookstore and he was making fun of me for buying a book on lding (he was saying that i usually buy Japanese anime books, and i guess he thought that was much cooler) so as he rings me up, i have to press the ok key on the computer to accept the purchase, as soon as i press the ok button, boom, im back in my bed in full sleep paralysis, but this time there was no building up with the buzz, it was full on, as i took it all in for a second, i began to i guess astral project and my body began to rise above my bed, and know with the buzzing and visions it seemed like it was all around my room, i got scared again and woke up. Does anyone know what im doing wrong? or is it just that im new to this?? thanks, Tim

Commentary-
I had this dream on 9/12/2012. At first I avoided sharing this dream because I thought it was too short. But looking back, the dream wasn't too bad and I figured if I was going to number my lucids, I might as well share them all! So, below is lucid #1.
Dream-
I was at a party at my grandma's house. It was pretty random as I didn't know what the party was for and all the characters were unfamiliar. I tried to do a backflip a couple of times in the kitchen to impress the crowd. I failed both attempts and fell on my back. I remembered to rub my hands together for stabalization. I walked outside jumped in the pool clothed. Then a random lady walks up near the edge and asks "What are you doing!?". The dream ended shortly thereafter.

I was in the co-op store and I was the only one. Everything was quiet and slightly dark, I could not see said ghost but I could feel its presence. Its cold, dark presence. It is the first time in a dream in a long long while that I have actually feared something, something I couldn't see, something I couldn't feel. But something I knew was there. Then the dream ended.

It was my Uncles birthday and me and my family had just sat down to eat a meal. Then my Uncle turned up and I asked my mum why I did not know of this. She said she'd told me but I had forgotten and therefore he would have to eat my meal. Not going to lie I was slightly disappointed, even though it was just dream food xD

I did have a lucid on this night, it consisted of me realising randomly, saying "I am dreaming?!?!" Not taking notice of what was around me and then the dream ended suddenly. I think this may have been due to a random rush of excitement or to the fact that I didn't stabilise at all....or have time to.

I was with a friend discussing how my mum had bought me WKD instead of neat vodka. I then left her and walked into a rather large cave. Here I found another two of my friends swinging on a rope swing above a huge pile of rubbish. I asked them to join me in some kind of challenge/quest and suddenly we were above the previous cave on a maze of bridges which lead off to other caves and what looked like rooms. We had to find these enchanted and glowing books but without waking a sleeping monster which we hadn't seen. We all split up, I wanted someone to come with me because I was rather scared again (This seems to have been the theme for this night -.-) But I was brave and ventured into a nearby cavern alone. On the floor next to my feet was a small bookcase and next to the a green glowing book. I picked it up just before one of my friends called out saying they had also found a book. This one was purple and glowing, suddenly we heard a far off noise of something waking up and we had to go. Then the dream ended.

I was waiting for a bus on the city high street, I saw it approach, turn round and head back to the bus station 2 minutes away. The dream ended with me being really confused.


Glad to see my recall is returning after a stressful start to the college year

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Got a cold and I had a whole bunch of dreams last night, luckily most of them were kinda fun. Did even manage to get lucid in one. Will only write that one down.

21.00: Sleep

10.00: Mohaha! DILD
I'm outside of my old apartment house with four other people. One of them is a friend of mine and I haven't seen the other three before. I know I'm dreaming and I figure I'll do some telekinesis. I lift the three people up and spin them around. I shove them into huge clothing dryers and close the doors. "Matte no! Just because you can abuse your powers doesn't mean you should" my lady friend says. I let the people go and we start walking down a road. All of a sudden a brown bear starts chasing us. I turn around and put my hand up. The bear runs right into an invisible wall and falls down and starts rolling down the hill. I flick my hand and the bear falls to the side.

10.00: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 14 hours

Supplements: 200 mg B6

That's it!

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

I woke up around 4am to pee, then had a hard time getting back to sleep. Then Danny's alarm woke me up at 5am, then I went back to sleep at 5:30am. Then my alarm woke me up at 6:45am to get Chris up. I set my alarm for 7:10am to take him to school, and went back to sleep. In those 25 minutes I managed 2 short lucid dreams:

When I went back to bed at 6:45am, I got vibrations almost instantly. I had the perfect amount of tiredness from all that waking up I'm guessing. They waved over me a couple times before I was able to focus them over my whole body without fading. As soon as I got it right, I felt the sensation of my body curling up a little, and scooting around the bed, though very subtle. I'm finding that this transition is getting more and more subtle, which worries me. I don't want it to become so subtle that I bare;y notice it and then just have a false awakening. This is the point in time where I would usually have a really intense demon experience, which are obviously hard to miss lol. But vibrations getting ever milder and milder, followed by really faint proprioception is making it more and more difficult to tell if when I open my eyes it's a dream or real. My even worse fear is that I won't feel the vibrations anymore, therefore miss altogether that I'm transitioning into a dream and then end up having a nonlucid/FA. ANYWAY, sorry for the pre-dream wall of text there. So after the vibrations settle, I open my eyes. I actually do it twice because I'm not sure. I slowly get out of bed, but with some difficulty in removing blankets and pillows off of me. I felt a bit caught. Then my body magically rose up into a standing position without me even trying, which was helpful lol. I knew at this point I was lucid for sure. I start walking to the bedroom door, but I feel invisible blankets all over me, and I'm having a hard time removing them. I remember guessing that it was because my sleeping body could still feel them, and it was carrying over into the dream. So I decided to ignore them, and went through the door anyway. This was a good idea, because as soon as I opened the door, the feeling of all those blankets was gone. I think ignoring the problem helped, along with opening the door which acted enough as a subtle scene change to help me stabilize a bit better. I felt like my foot hit a sleeping dog, and then I saw Daisy run up to me, I pet her and let her lick me. I felt her teeth and thought she would bite, but she kept her mouth open. Good girl. I open the front door, and it looks like an overcast morning, but plenty light enough to see. But when I step out of the door, which is usually to the right of the garden, suddenly it opened to the left of the garden. I even had to step over it to continue. As soon as I did that, the sky turned super dark grey, and started to pour down rain. I said "NNnnnoooooooo I can't believe it." I was upset because I wanted to try the advanced TOTM again, but now I could barely see. So much thunder and lightening too. I think now, in retrospect, I would have had a more fulfilling experience if I had just gone with it instead of using all my energy to change the weather. I chanted at the sky, saying something like "The clouds must dissipate, I want to see the sun." I was even singing this at some point. The clouds moved away and showed blue sky a few times, but it never disappeared completely. I got TOO obsessed about having a perfect blue sky when I could have just switched my focus to some other task/adventure. I'm making myself remember this as I type it, because it will help me, and I'm always preaching the same goddamned thing to my DVA students. Anyway, I'm staring hopelessly at the sky, then I woke up.

I start drifting off again, passively thinking about walking around in college. I go unaware, straight into a dream where I'm walking in a stairwell, talking to old college buddies. I was making out with one against the wall and making plans to have sex with him. I become lucid after a few seconds, because I remember that I was JUST lying in bed not moments ago, thinking about this. Super quick DILD, I love it. I know that the alarm is going to go off at any minute, so I just resign myself to some lucid sex. I can't find the guy I was originally making out with, so I searched a bunch of rooms to find someone else. I switch gender and grabbed some other ok-looking guy in the cafeteria. Things were going really really well on the table, but I started losing my vision. I focus really hard to make things clearer, then the alarm went off. Oh well.

I'll record the dreams that came before these when I get home from work, but I'm just so pumped about this one I had to write it down. So my brother Jeremy and I were hanging out down the street from his house having a cigerette. For some reason I remember we weren't wearing shirts, we looked like white trashy corner dwellers in a ghetto or something now that I think of it. But I think in the dream it was just hot and made no difference.

A black guy came up and was standing about ten feet away from us for some reason, he too was just hanging out near the corner. Then a girl walked by that Jeremy knew so he started talking to her. I could tell he liked her, it was his playfully bossy attitude type. He followed her down the street a bit, then we went inside. I noticed there was quite a bit of commotion. The house we were in didn't look much like his, more like my brother Jason's house in shape. I realized after a few moments that our friend Aaron was getting ready to have his wedding! Me and someone else were sitting in a very small room having a conversation, when Aaron walked in with a tuxedo as if he were hiding from someone. I said "Congradulations dude, I didn't even know you were getting married! What are you doing?"
He smiled and said thanks but quickly darted out saying "No time-". Just as he darted out his bride darted in. This was a little bit weirder because her dress was so big and there were already two people in the tiny room, but we kept up the good mood. We asked her, what's going on? She said Aaron and her were dodging in and out of rooms today trying to not let Aaron see her. It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding. We laughed and talked a bit. I went to the restroom. Here's where I became lucid.

I was in the restroom, I clenched my nose together- and could still breath. (I am loving these reality check results). I instantly became lucid, and called out "I am lucid! I need clarity!", and I rubbed by hands together. Then I ran my hands across the counter of the sink. It was so real. So I began to think about what I was going to do. I noticed in the mirror that I was thoroughly underdressed. I had a great idea. I waved my hand over my body and was dressed in a brilliant fucking tuxedo. I kept waving my hand over it making it absolutely custom, taking out some tads here and there. I kept waving my hand my tie, I wanted the color to be right. I tried red, yellow, blue, striped, it was incredible. I was having fun with this dressup.
I left the bathroom and my dream scene changed.
Back at my house. I wanted to show off my dream skills to my parent's characters for shits and giggles. I said here mom, let me give you a hand with that (while she was preparing lunch in the kitchen). I made the chicken she was about to grab float over to the cutting board. She wasn't impressed. lol.

My family's friend Lenny was over. I said, Lenny check this out. I made a pack of 50 water battles float up into the air and start spinning. I continued playing with things in the air for a while. Then... I walked outside. This is where it went bad. My subconscious thought I had been lucid long enough, so it decided to scare me into false awakening over and over again.

I walked outside and a girl began talking in front of me. She was a dream figment saying "Once a person has been conscious too long in here, they're never let go." And I began to see other people that began half materializing in front of me, as if they were other dreamers stuck in the dream world. I panicked and woke myself up. I woke myself up into another dream. But I knew it this time, I was used to these kinds of false awakening. I woke myself up another time into another false awakening. Almost panicking then, thinking I was stuck, I gave one last burst of energy to my conscious mind and finally woke up. Great dreaming session, just a strange ending.
