Dream 1 (Lucid)

I was straight away lucid and it was night time in the dream again. My last 3 lucids have been at night time. During my dream incubation recently I have been preforming with Boy Better Know. So I was standing on this field and I decided when I turn round there will be a place where Boy Better Know are preforming. I believed this and when I turned round there was indeed a nightclub. I was happy and decided to walk straight through the doors. But it wasn't letting me. It kinda turned into 3rd person however I couldn't see my body and every time I tried to walk through, it flashed black like a scene transition in a game/movie. It wasn't letting me through and I started losing lucidity. So I started spinning and I then it just faded. This dream was not a very vivid one, it was quite hazy.


Dream 2 (Non Lucid)

I can't remember this much. I remembered it fully in the morning though. I was at an airport toilet and I was scared of flying. I then remember going down steps and there was a women who was dressed as Kanye West and was pretending to be a wax model. I had a photo with this Kanye and I pulled this silly pose which was smiling stupid and pointing up at Kanye.

Last night I had my first Lucid Dream. It was very short but in the end worth it. What happened was I was being chased or hunted by some killer and I was cornered. Just like a nightmare I was very scared. For some reason I told myself "wait I'm dreaming" then I took off on a jet pack and flew in the sky away leaving the killer in despair. Yes it was very short, but that is what happened. The end.

So this is my first post to my Dream Journal.

I have many dreams each night, all of which I remember. Sometimes its LC, but haven’t quite gotten to the point of developing skills for exploring it. But each dream always leaves quite an impression on me.

Last day I went to bed around 11, after taking some ZMA. This drug helps me restore muscle tissue better after intense workout which I did yesterday, also its known for causing vivid dreams. Also had a tool for android that register REM state through motion, and is making me aware during sleep.

Found myself drifting in and out through different states of dream places during the first 1-2 hours during night. Like almost awake and yet deeply emerged into the dream plane. During this time I had all sorts of dream scenes that I experienced such as; Dystopia society – dark and batman like with akira (comic book) sense to it. Fighting monsters and saving my family. Another dream im an aviator having insane air battles in a small room, became aware here for a short time and tried to control the environment. During these different dream scenes I would awake between each, but not in my bed, but simply awake someplace in another dream - where I would also lay someplace and listening to some music.. Notices that the playlist had small soundtracks to it.. Noticed some named aviation thing, another an apple (inventor) thing... Saw different ones, but kept falling in.. Didn’t quite remember all of the smaller dreams.

There was a dream theme throughout the dreams though, the characters that were present to me, was part of my family and known people in different senses.. But they all seemed different - strange and kind of creepy. Kept having doubts and sort of got aware of my dream state through that notion.. But dreams just kept on going.. I then had a huge gap of forgotten dream, until a point were I am in my apartment with 8-10 family members. They all seemed strange and at that time I started to become more and more aware that I was dreaming, kept shouting at em' that I wanted the truth of who they were and that I was aware of them as being a dream character.

Then suddenly the dream took quite a dramatic turn. The people gathered in a small group and said to each other that they had to take action or something similar. And the next thing that happens, they disappear and I hear the ground shaking. I run out to my porch and look out over the water to the other side of the lake. And saw a HUGE spaceship, more intense and unimaginable that ive ever seen in a movie, take off. leaving the other side of the city filled with smoke and debris. The water started rising and soon found the yard and roads filled with 2 meters of water.. Rescue teams were sent for us, and first of I refused to leave my animals and started to pack.
Called my family which were in another part of the country, asking what is going on. I remember at that time that I took a picture of the spaceship, and send the picture to them. From this point on, I packed more.. neighbors came and we finally left my apartment, while the sky and surrounding were filled with water and a scary visual impressions..

Then the alarm clock woke me up.. Took me quite some time to realize what had just happened.. still kinda confused right now.

*Non-Lucid*Lucid*

I was in a school for my first day of class. I realized I was lucid, pinched my nose and watched my hand as I poke my finger through palm. I observed a brick wall. I woke up.

12AM-10AM

9/10/2012

Okay, so I'm flying. I'm lucid. I'm soaring through the daytime sky with birds, thoroughly enjoying it. I'm thinking, "I'm truly happy here." I decide to fly higher in hopes of seeing something cool and looking down upon the puffy clouds and the tiny buildings, but instead, as I fly through some dense clouds, I come to a surprise. Gravity reverses itself and I find myself standing on clouds. I see my house (at least it resembled my house) It's brighter up here. It's quiet. I enter the empty, clean house and see almost statue-like birds. I talk to them. I'm able to ask them any questions about this place as I want (unfortunately I forget what I asked them but I recall asking one of their names which I THINK was Bradley). Someone lives here, but it looks abandoned. The man's name is Raven. He owns the place and upholds strict rules for any visitors. You cannot move or rearrange ANYTHING. You cannot wear or display anything of the color red. Why? I don't know. I was very polite to the man, who sat far in the other side of the room that was separated from the living room. He was sitting in a chair. He wore dark-green robe similar to a tunic and a hood that covered his eyes. A fold of green cloth also covered the rest of his face. I only asked him one thing (as far as I can remember), and that was, "How long have you been living here?" He responded with something close to, "Not nearly long enough..." He seemed somber and lonely and bitter. Before I left, he extended his right arm to me, palm outward. On his palm was a horizontal red oval. My mother thinks this was the sign of the beast when I explained my dream to her. Personally, I felt that he just wanted to be alone and thereby wanted people to be afraid of him. As I left I said to him something like, "Nice meeting you! Maybe I will come back and visit you someday." Somehow my father and my brother appeared waiting outside and we- holding hands- jumped and fell through the floor of clouds and went back to our realm. That's what I remember.

My friend and I were walking down the street when suddenly a man pulls up to us. He rolled down his window and said ,"You like piercings?". I said yes and he lifted up his shirt and revealed a wrench attatched to his chest. He smiled and quickly drove off. Me and my friend continued to walk until I realized how weird that was. I said to my friend, "I'm dreaming!". When I said this, I still wasn't too sure. I counted my fingers but only counted 8 of them. Then, I stuck my finger through my hand and it went right through. I was amazed and filled with excitment. I remembered not to get too excited because I didn't want to wake up. Suddenly, no living thing surrounded me except for a small dog near a local gorcery store. I tried moving the dog with my mind (like a telepathic) but i coudln't do it. The dog wouldn't move. So I decided to float up. I saw my city and how beautiful it looked. I went flying to the roof of the grocery store and landed on it. I than saw my mom walking in the parking lot so I decided to jump off to catch her but I became scared. As I was falling I thought to myself that this would hurt. I woke up.

Lucid Dream from two nights ago:

I don't really remember much of what was happening at the moment I became lucid. Somehwere in my memoriy I was at a hotel-like building and swinging on a rope around the sides of the building and going really high and loving the feeling, but getting nervous that I was going too high and would fall.

At the moment I got lucid I was sitting on the ground. I remember just thinking, "Well if I am dreaming, I might want to practice some skills."

The first thing that came to mind was that I wanted to work on going through solid objects. I have had trouble with that (thinking back to my mirror portal failing moments).

I decided to just stay in that seated position and see if I could poke my finger into the solid dirt ground. I pointed and pressed down. I really had no idea what to expect. But I was really pleased to find that my finger went right passed what looked like the surface of the ground. I felt almost nothing at all..maybe the slightest little wisp of something being there. I went until my hand was in the earth up to about my wrist, then pulled it back out again.

I then decided to be even more bold. I wanted to do the same thing, but with my head. I leaned over and got really close to the ground with my face. I had a feeling a lot like I was about to put my face in some dark liquid. I almost changed my mind because it suddenly seemed a little scary, like I might get stuck or not be able to breathe.

But I took a deep breath and pushed my head in. It was dark, yet I could see this dark reddish black swirling color that moved as I entered. It was almost like liquid was moving out of my way and letting me get my face in. I was a little nervous taking my first breath. Again, I had no idea what to expect. But I breathed easily. I stayed in the ground for a few more seconds before I pulled my head out and decided to fly.

And I don't remember what happened after that.

I believe I had my first true DEILD this morning. I'll try to remember the details (it happened sometime between 7:30am - 9am), and I slept way in after that, so I don't remember a ton of details. But I know I had vibrations 3 times, and each time I went straight into a dream where I was in my bed and had to think for a bit to make sure I wasn't really awake (my room is starting to look too correct lol). There was literally seconds between each dream, where I didn't move, just felt the vibrations and immediately went into the dream. I also did the advanced TOTM! It was just a little blurry and pretty short because of how unnerving it was. At any rate, I woke up at 5am, went back to sleep, then 6am, sleep, 6:45am, sleep, 7:15am, sleep (lol, school mornings are rough). When I went to bed at 7:30am, I was so tired by this point that I felt the vibrations come on only after a few minutes of just laying there. I waited until I could start to see a picture, and I opened my eyes. It was my room, and again with the strange orangeish light that's almost my only giveaway that I'm dreaming. Still, I get up very slowly just in case. I look at my hands, and the tip of my right ring finger is missing which confirmed lucidity. I give everybody a good wiggle and leave the bedroom. Not thinking of the TOTM right away I decide to go outside and have a look around. I feel like flying (I don't usually, but now I'm starting too more. I think that's good because I bet I'll get to see and do more stuff this way hehe). I shoot straight up and as soon as I can see over the houses, I notice a huge river that doesn't exist irl. Then I think of the advanced TOTM and I bet I can manipulate this river into a cretaceous ocean once I'm underwater. Ever since I chickened out in my last attempt, I formed a plan: find water again, have a cage or some kind of underwater enclosure that lets me see but not get hurt, and one of those electrocutey things. It's a tall order I admit, but I'm really determined! Anyway, I flew up to the river bank, and I noticed a partially sunken inflatable blue canoe, big enough for one. I landed next to it, pulled it out and it immediately popped into shape. I sat down inside it, and it shoved itself on down the river. I willed it to form a glass shell over the top, which it did (but it didn't close properly, which I will discover later). I forgot about the weapon, oops. To my right in my new "sub" is a little control panel with a few unmarked buttons. I pretend I'm punching a combination for "The Cretaceous Period" and I say it aloud as I'm pushing the buttons. The submarine sinks to the ocean floor, and it's brown and murky and a bit hard to see (a little visual snowish). But I squint and pay close attention and move forward across the prehistoric ocean floor, looking for life. Sure enough, I see something that looks like an alligator at first, but as it got closer I noticed it was a mosasaur*. It was weaving left and right along the ocean floor, then it saw me. It paused for a moment and looked at me and I froze. It looked angry, like it wanted to get to me but didn't bother trying because I was protected. Then it swam off. A whole school of mosasaur came next, weaving back an forth like the first, all in unison. They all swam past my little nautilus, and each and every one looked at me all pissed in the same way as the first, then continued on. I was so scared, I thought I would wake up. Then they were gone, and I decided that was good enough for the task and I willed the sub to resurface. As it was moving up, it started filling with water. I just hoped it would make it up before I drowned. It didn't. But I was able to breath, I just wasn't breathing water. It felt like there was always a mask of air in front of my face, and water never came inside (which is actually normal for even my nonlucid underwater dreams, there's always a bit of air there). I could see the glimmer of the water's surface just above me when I woke up.

I felt vibrations right away, and knowingly phased into an LD in my room the same way. I got up and thought of the basic task (greedy). Already I wasn't sure how this was going to work, so I just left the bedroom and went to the living room. I stood in front of the piano and said "shrink" but nothing happened. I said it again, but this time I squatted down on the floor at the same time, hoping my subC would fill in the blanks lol. Nothing. So then I remembered someone on DV saying to just make everything around you grow instead. So I willed the furniture to grow, and all that happened was they stayed the same size, but the legs got really long lol. Then I woke up. That one is going to be way hard for me. I'm going to need a plan again, like maybe using a mirror portal or going up a beanstalk haha.

Same transition again (I'm already thinking how cool it's going to be to blog the fact that I did a true DEILD, as well as noticing that the 2nd was shorted than the first. So this one may end up being even shorter, oh well). Again, I "awoke" in my bed immediately lucid, got up, left the room and headed for the living room. I saw Danny (irl he's at work). I was glad I saw the DC version of him, because we had a bad fight last night irl, but this DC doesn't know that hehe. I hugged him and he bit my hand, demon style. I slapped him on the side of his head, and he returned to normal. I said "Let's go outside." We went to the front yard. It was cool, and cloudy. I said, "I can fly, want to come with me?" He said sure. I got behind him, and put my arms around his chest and locked my fingers. With effort, I jumped straight up, and we started to sink immediately. He was so heavy! I forced us to go higher, which worked, but it was hard to steer with Danny in my arms. We were heading straight for some trees, but I forced us to the right as hard as I could. I said "It's really hard to steer while holding you." But I managed to get us up higher, and over the houses. I said "Want to see something cool? Just over those houses is a really big river!" So I flew us to the river so he could see it. We just hovered over the rooftops, watching the water move for a few moments, then I woke up.

Gucci was barking irl so I got up and let him in. I went back to sleep and had a few FAs, all related to confronting Danny about our fight last night. That's all there was.


*edit: not pliosaurs, they were mosasaurs. I googled different ones and it was the mosasaur that were more alligator-looking.

WILD Straight to Bed (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I've always assumed attempting to WILD at the point of going bed at night was a waste of time. This assumption was based on the evidence that REM cycles don't start until much later in the sleep cycle. REM sleep is, of course, typically when we dream. Yesterday I was dropping off on the settee at about 11pm after an early start and long day of physical exertion. I decided to call it a night.

I fell asleep very quickly and remained aware during the whole transition into a dream. I had a false awakening, which I immediately recognised as a dream. I got out of bed and saw that my bedroom and house were pretty much exactly as I had last seen them. All the upstairs lights were off, but I could distantly hear the TV, which my brothers had been watching. I walked out of my room confidently, but was all too aware of the oppressive darkness in the house. Rather than dwell on the potential for a nightmare to develop, I went balls to the wall and ran down the stairs yelling with my hands balled into fists, ready to take on any monsters which might dare to appear. Unfortunately, the excitement kicked me out of the dream and I think I woke up.

Snap (LUCID)

[Finally! Woop woop! Only, I'm pretty uncertain on the chronology for some parts. You'll see.]

While at a traveling carnival, I run into my sister with a group of her friends. They're discussing what they should go do next, since recently a bunch of extra people joined their group and now there are maybe too many people for them to travel together. As a joke, I walk up and join, pretending I don't know that I'm exacerbating the problem. Suddenly, I notice that there's a younger girl in the group who keeps shouting for everyone to shut up. She must think that if everyone quiets down, then the discussion will go more smoothly. From the perspective of the wisdom of years, I realize that she's not going about this the right way. I walk up to her and encourage her to quiet down and be more mature. She stares at me as if suddenly realizing how annoying her behavior was, and then she sincerely thanks me for my intervention. To the group, I point out that we can just split into two groups and meet up again later.

Later, I ride a roller coaster. All you do to get on board is to grab a horizontal bar that's connected to the track above you. It's a very scary ride, because the only things preventing you from falling to great injury or death are your grip strength and your arm strength. As the coaster starts moving, I start to fear for my life. I try to secure my grip by looping an elbow over the bar, but it's difficult to adjust your grip safely while the ride is in motion. The coaster rounds a corner and heads down a downward slope, gathering speed. I see that at the bottom, the track turns sharply to the left. "Oh no," I moan, praying that I can withstand the G forces. Somehow I do, and shortly afterward, the ground rises beneath me and the coaster slows so that I can get off.

Of course, doing so is almost as hard as getting off of a ski lift, so in the process, I drop my notebook and pencil. I try to go back to grab them, but I almost get hit by the next car. I'm forced to dive to the side and seize another car going up the hill. Then I realize that I've switched tracks, and I'm about to go all the way around the ride again. First, I'm confused as to why they would design the ride to make this possible. Second, I'm worried that they'll be mad at me for going around the ride again without paying a second time. Third, I realize that the much more pressing concern is that now the ride has a second chance to kill me.

At some point later, I'm discussing lucid dreaming with someone, and I decide to do a reality check by plugging my nose and breathing in. To my delight, it works! Next thing I know, I'm standing in my childhood bedroom. [Maybe I had a false awakening?] I do the same RC again, and it works again. But I'm not totally convinced, so I do it one more time, making sure that I've totally plugged my nose and there's no way that air should be able to get through. It still works.

Awesome! Time to get to work. I remember that I have dream goals, but, nevertheless, the first thing that occurs to me is that I should look for a naked woman. I'm alone in my room, but maybe I can conjure one into my closet (which is currently closed). I decide that the first thing to do is to turn on the lights in there. I'll be able to see if I've succeeded by looking at the gap beneath the door. There's a faint light coming from it right now, so I snap my fingers to try and turn it on all the way. It flickers a bit, then goes out completely. Lol. Maybe I should try to work on some dream control, first.

I'm glad that this dream seems to be easy to maintain. I figure that's probably because it takes place in a very familiar location; namely, my own house.

At some point, I decide to dive through a big glass window on the second story. As I'm banging it with my arm, testing its strength, it occurs to me that this would be very dangerous in the case that I actually am awake. I do another RC, just to be safe.

At another point, I open my closet door to discover that my parents have been storing a lot of creepy presents in there. I mean, all I can see are boxes and bags, but it still creeps me out.

At another point, I decide that I might as well actually do one of my dream goals: "feel my heartbeat." I press two fingers of my right hand against the artery in the side of my neck. Surprisingly, my pulse is very strong and rather rapid. It even seems to be accelerating slightly. I guess that fits, since I feel like I'm high on adrenaline.

At another point, I'm in the downstairs hallway when my mom calls everyone to dinner. Obviously, I'd rather keep working on dream control than go sit down with them. I know my dad's probably going to try to find me and insist that I come. But I also hope that since I'm dreaming, I can just sort of will him not to pay attention to me. I see him come out of a door at the end of the hallway and start walking towards me--and I'm very relieved when he walks by without even looking in my direction.

At another point, I'm practicing dream control in living room. The idea is this: every time I snap, I want it to be followed a moment later by a sharp crack and a small flare of light located wherever it is that I've directed my attention. It's like using those little firecrackers that you're supposed to throw against the ground. Anyway, the first time I try, I fail. I'm disappointed and worried that I'll never be able to do it. But I remind myself that all of this is imaginary: it's happening in my own mind, so I should have complete control over it. I try again. It works! I repeat it a few times, and then I notice that sometimes the little flash of light can affect its nearby surroundings, a little bit. I try to do this on purpose by directing my attention at a button which is hanging loose from the side of a cushion. When I snap, the flash of light breaks the thread, and the button rolls across the floor. Neat!

While I'm practicing, I notice that our dog is behaving strangely. She jumps up on a couch, then climbs some other furniture in order to jump onto a light that hangs by a chain from the ceiling. She climbs up the chain and touches her nose to the ceiling. A dog's paws should never have been able to achieve that, but I figure that since this is a dream, she may as well be able to do anything she wants to do.

Later, I consider stopping to review what I've done so far, to solidify it in my memory for easier dream recall. But, nah. Much more fun to keep trying to do new stuff.

I decide that the next thing to try would be snapping my fingers and having a little flame appear above them. I go into the family room, where I find a convenient bunch of lit candles. I sit in the couch. My hand has become wrapped in protective oily cloth, and I light a couple of fingers by sticking them into a candle flame. I contemplate this for a bit, then blow them out. Except I don't quite succeed, and the fire flares up again. I blow harder, and this time it goes out completely. I feel silly for working that hard to accomplish something so simple. For instance, there is a friendly dog in the room who would gladly put out the fire for me if I were to stick my hand in its mouth. I guess the saliva just put me off.

A few moments later, I realize that I haven't thought about anything for a few moments, and everything's gone black. I try to shout "Clarity!" but there's nothing to clarify. I open my eyes upon my new bedroom, then do an RC to make sure I'm awake. When I check the time, I'm surprised to find I've only been asleep for a couple of hours.

Evil Statue

The ceremony to release a powerful evil spirit on the world is scheduled to begin in a few hours. It'll take place at a museum. Unfortunately, the statue of the evil spirit has long been missing from the building, so we have no idea what exactly we'll be facing. Now, usually I would procrastinate, which is to say I would start setting up to face the spirit only a couple of minutes before its scheduled release. But this time, I call together the team and try to get us started with a few hours to spare. We hide out in the parking lot under an overturned rowboat. Every so often, an evil black dog comes along to snap at us through the gaps in the side, and we have to stab it to death. Those jaws look very dangerous, and I'm not really confident in my abilities. Especially when half the team is out scouting and I have to face the dogs with only about one other person.

Scare Game

Evil creatures are loose on the world. I'm headed to the basement, but I'm worried they might be waiting for me down there. There are rules about when and where they can attack you, but I don't remember them exactly. Mom happens to be in the living room with me, so I ask her. She says yes, they're allowed to attack at this time. I also check a rules handbook, and it says there are actually no limitations on when you can be attacked. Huh. It must have been that they don't like sunlight, so you're usually safe during the day. Anyway, I decide to go to the basement. I'll just be very careful.

When I'm about two steps into the room down there, a hand comes flying around a corner to try and grab me. I intercept it with my own arm and wrestle with it for a bit until my dad gives up and comes around the corner, laughing. He'd been trying to scare me, because in this game you get points for that.

Lucid dream - Monday 10-09-2012 - "Seventeen" - Looking for my bag at a trainstation

it must've lasted for about 5-10 minutes, as I remember being awake and staring at the alarm clock, thinking to myself that I had to get up soon.

Sadly, I wasn't able to remember any of the important questions I wanted to ask DCs, but I did end up with an interesting reply.

Regular = black
Lucid = blue

I was with a few friends, and we were riding the train to get to a city (Århus).
We got off the train, walked up to a cafeteria and got something to eat - afterwards we went towards the exit.
On the way there, we went past some toilets, I figure they all had to go, since they were gone for the remainder of the dream.
I put down my bag, but after a while of waiting I decided to go on and wait near the exit.


After a few minutes of walking, I noticed that I had forgotten my bag - which seemingly surprised me into becoming lucid.
I figured I'd try my hand at summoning - I held out my hands and 'wished' for the bag to appear. A bag came flying into my hands, one very similar to
my old school-bag, but the colors were slightly off. I gave it another shot, but with the same results.
I went towards an open indoor-plaza, where I saw two men searching through luggage - figuring my bag might be amongst them, I started
picking bags up and slinging them around through telekinesis, until I spotted a DC. (Not sure why I didn't consider talking to the luggage-men)
She was an employee at what appeared to be an info-booth, I went up to her and figured I'd talk to her (It's been my goal for long to talk to a DC).

"Excuse me? Miss?" She looked at me.
Suddenly I got the idea of asking her a rather strange question, hoping for an interesting reply.
"What is the name of this dream?"
She replied "Seventeen" - which kind of caught me by surprised...
"Huh..? Seventeen? How can that be true, what kind of system(naming convention) is that?" I was quite confused at her answer. >_<
"Well, you didn't ask me anything personal" She replied in a sort of cheeky voice, hinting that she didn't HAVE to tell me the truth if it wasn't something personal.
I thought to myself, alright then!
"What color are your panties?" Not sure why that was the first 'personal question' that popped into mind, but yea...
She replied "Purple" - needless to say, I didn't actually check...

I turned around, where I spooted two girls, they looked kind of similar but for some reason one of them stood out to me as being really pretty.
I went towards them and as I approached, one of them turned around to leave (It didn't seem related to the fact that I was moving towards them).
I hurried over there and grabbed her arm, turned her around and said "Hi" - she seemed sort of startled, but she replied with a "Hi" nonetheless.
After I turned her around, I couldn't think of anything to say, so I ended up staring at her for a while, then let her go and said
"I'll just go grab my bag, if you're still around when I get back..." - I didn't have time to finish my sentence, as she was already leaving towards the exit.
I turned to the other girl (The really pretty one), who had just been watching curiously and said "I guess I had that coming..." and smiled.
She laughed.

I then went back to the luggagecart, checked through some of the bags and in the back I found one that looked exactly like mine.
I was a bit surprised, since it wasn't the bag I had 'thought of' when I tried summoning it - I looked at it for a while.
At that point, my alarmclock rang.

Funny 'coincidence' - though it might be overthinking it - the whole 'plaza scene' was kind of airport-like, and it just so happens that I was 17 the first time I went to an airport/took a flight somewhere.

*Non-Lucid*Lucid*

I was in Trader Joe's with my mom, apparently I could get whatever I want for my birthday. I couldn't decide and she was patiently walking around with me, which was strange because she's usually impatient. I ended up wondering what I should get for my friend PW (it's not even her birthday for a while). I see a pile of Spongebob color book, and special crayons. I looked through some of them thinking that they are different each. I flipped to the first page on one, and it was Spongebob without his ties, collar, and belt. I wanted to color a book and give it to PW as a gift. I then remembered that she's in NY so I will have to mail it to her. I wondered if I could get it to her on time if I finish coloring it today. I see my school's Chamber group from last year, they were in the art supply section. I walked the aisles trying to find a gift. I ended up in the art supply section, I see drawing papers but I couldn't draw that much. I decided that I could draw in my sketchbook and just take the page out. I started walking, and I was behind this girl I see in school. She was wearing red jeans/tights, a red top, a reddish brown cardigan, and brown boots. I thought that she was wearing a lot of reds. I passed the Chamber group again and they were watching a person tattoo a tiny black dog. I see my dad, he was just getting his tattoo finished on his left forearm. I got next to him and the tattoo artist punctured the tips of my middle and ring fingers. It was done as an extension to my tattoo, they were piercings that look like snake fangs. I didn't think my tattoo would expand out to my hand, I didn't know I was getting a tattoo! It's as if my dad's tattoo transferred on to my arm. The tattoo artist punctured my index finger, the piercing was an ancient Chinese coin, it sits on top of my finger. I was going to comment that he poked my fingers so fast that I didn't even feel much pain. My dad got a helix piercing on his right ear. I asked that artist how much the total was twice because I couldn't hear him clearly. My dad asked him if he counted the helix piercing. The guy instantly gave him a helix... again. It was rubic cube pieces forming a ring around his ear. I turned around and my dad showed me the total on a piece of paper, it was a thousand something. He showed it to me quickly cause he's afraid my mom would see it. I woke up still feeling the pain of my index.

I was at the mall, walking with PW. We went in to a store cause it looked pretty interesting from the outside. We got in and it transformed in to a tea store. We walked back out and continued. I wondered why can't I just make this lucid, and the lucid "feeling" rushed over me. I pinched my nose and floated upward and I got back down. We walked and we stood next to a stall. She was bending and looking at the items. I wanted to kiss her but I'll have to bend down too. I pulled her to the side and kissed her. We continued walking and I walked up to the roof of the building.

1AM-9AM

I am in the middle of a field training exercise and I've lost my weapon. I am searching all over for this weapon. I find many other rifles that were previously mine but not the one I came to the field with. I go down several passageways looking for this rifle. I stop by a door where Laurence Fishburn and a couple of other actors are having a discussion; they are all cops. Laurence Fishburn just got out of jail for a crime but the others all shun him because he snitched to get a lesser sentence. I think nothing of this and keep walking. I enter a random room where I encounter a woman looking for a lost weapon also. We start looking together. Her face is not very clear. She gets on her back and slides under a bed looking and I wished she was naked and poof she had no clothes on. At this sudden moment I pinch my nose and proceed to do a reality check. It was the sweetest, freshest breath I've ever taken. I instantly realize I was in a dream and it all starts to fade as the woman is moaning. The color green lingers as I just hear the noises of the dream. At this point, I have a false awakening with someone walking inside my tent and turning the light on. I lay back down angry and instantly resume the dream and continuing my search for the weapon. As I am about to open a door, I stop to feel the door handle and perform the same reality check and once again I become lucid. With this realization my awareness shifts to my sleeping body, wondering if i was holding my breath in my sleeping body while continuing to breathe in the dream and the dream ends abruptly with the sound of a tv shutting off followed by sleep paralysis(I've had these childhood, they don't phase me).


*Achieved Lucidity with the WBTB method.
*I see different rooms and passageways and different elements that I've dreamed about years ago appear in this dream.
*It's very clear at this point that my dream signs are movie actors playing a role.
*I've been deployed for a couple of months now, it's been a while lol

So first I remember me, my brother, my mom, and my dad in a car, going down a highway, at night. We were like the only ones there. This car seems pretty new, and has 3 buttons on the roof in back. Me being curious, I press one, making the car go nuts, and a cop car and fire truck turn their lights/sirens on, and I think it is my fault. They rush past us, so I guess it is unrelated, but my dad who is driving pulls off into an exit assuming he will get pulled over. When they go past him, he gets back on the highway but says something to the effect of "Damn it, I lost him. I have never lost a suspect in my _ years of this job.." So I assume he is like a cop as well? He goes in the general direction much faster, but there is like this bridge, half there. After about half way, there is just nothing, as if a world is not loading chunks on minecraft. There are these guards with rifles standing on either side, and my dad asks them if they saw anything, which they reply that they didn't. My dad replies "Stupid guards!" then looks into the void in front. I see like 12 tornadoes form in front, and engulf the guards, mom, my bro, and my dad. I guess it overtook me too.

Next thing I remember I am lucid seeing a little girl, walking beside my dad, with another older girl walking in front. Turns out that little girl is me. I then take place of the girl, yet I am wearing my waking life's clothes. I recall looking forward at our house, and it is fairly sized and wonderful. We live in a mobile home in real life, so this was quite a change. I age myself a bit because I don't want to be some little girl, so I turn around 14-16. I look around the house and I love everything I see, big living room, looks like we are just moving in. I remember seeing this room with a bunch of stuff scattered about, and realize this must be my dream dad's office. Instead of helping I decide to explore, and walk outside the room into the living room. I figure I may as well watch some tv, see what my mind can make of it, but just then my bro-wait, sister? grabs the remote and says "I am going to test watching memories on tv." She changes the channel and thinks of a memory, but nothing happens, it just changes normally. I say "I can do this." and take the remote, think of when my cousin had a sleepover at our house once, and hit random numbers on the remote, expecting my memory to show up..It didn't, just normal programming. I make another attempt, and it doesn't work either. I get a little depressed, and change the channel back to what it was before. What I see is some fitness paid programming, except the girl in it is showing her breasts, which doesn't interest me, I guess because I was a girl.
I remember in the office thinking "I wish I could take pictures and see this in real life." We all went outside, and I looked back at the house, thinking that top room must be my oldest sister's room, if only I could take a few pics, then my mom is in the car, ready to go, and my dad calls her susan, which was real strange to me, as that is not her name in real life.. My oldest sister, which I guess is my mind's representation of my oldest brother, was seated in the car, in a dress, my older bro was in the back seat, my dad driving, and my mom in the passenger seat. I do not recall when I put on a dress, I guess a little after the age change, but my oldest...sister, tells me "Where did you get that dress, it looks a little small. Unless it just 'appeared' in your closet one day which happens to me a lot." Another comment she said was "Ugh, can't wait to rent out my room and get my own place." The dream ended somewhere in the car.
Last comments: I remember my look as a little girl, I was blonde, with long hair, no freckles. My older sister had the appearance of an emo girl, with a piercing in her lip, straight black hair, quite attractive. Also, in my dream we were all skinny, instead of overweight we are in real life. Also, I remember using the hand rubbing technique when in the living room, and other various times to increase my senses, it actually worked.
Is it normal to feel sleep paralysis/vibrations in dreams? Because I felt it for a moment as I was rubbing my hands.

Before hand I decide to do the advanced TOTM, swim in the cretasious sea. I watched BBC Sea Monsters with Nigel last week and was prepared. I would enter the mirror in my room and be on Nigel's ship.

I decide to WILD and actually did it! It was a lot like DEILD after all. I layed there with my mantra and a very dim awareness and suddenly I hit SP. It was a slight twinge and I wondered why so short. I relaxed and felt it again but stronger I get wildly excited. I feel my heart pounding and my breath shorten. I wanted lucid so bad tonight. I force myself to be calm with my meditation. Once I was relaxed the SP went away. My dream body gets up but I feel really real and wonder if I am a wake. I walk to the mirror and push on it and it is solid.

I am suddenly back in bed with SP. I get up and run to the mirror and bash my head on it solid. I feel embarrassed and drunkenly go back to bed. I feel the SP again. Again I rush to the mirror I really thought that if I entered the mirror I could be on the deck of Nigel's ship.I hit my head on it and wonder if why wife thinks I am nuts. I feel like I was just sleep walking. I go lay back down only to hit SP again. This time I think more about it. I remember the room didn't look right and I barely felt the mirror. OK lets just concentrate now.

I cleared my mind. I felt like I was floating. I get the urge to spin. I felt like I was on my back and the center point was my stomach. I begin to spin so fast that I could feel the centripicle force on my arms and legs. It was a nice feeling but I wanted to get on Nigle's ship! I made a new mantra. Nigel. Nigel Nigel Nigel... I imagined my hands connecting with a smooth railing of what could be a ship deck. I felt the friction from my spinning movent on my hands. I stopped the spinning and had a solid hold on it with my left.

Suddenly I am back in bed sort of awake. I DEILD quickly. I hit SP again but this time I slowly get up. No good. My body feels sluggish and the bed feels like a tar pit. I could only get my left arm over the edge of the bed. I imagine my feet slowly floating over the side.

Suddenly I feel something hard and cold on my left hand. It is so cold it almost hurts. I don't know if it got me or if I got it. I feel like I am pintching a cold raw half thawed chicken wing. It scares the hell out of me and I think something evil is there. I force myself reminan calm. I know I am dreaming and I am very determined to do the TOTM. The thing is so gross but It actually helps stabilize me. I stand up and pick the thing up since it is attached to my fingers. I want to know what it is. My vision is dim but the thing in my hand turns to my son. He feels cold and dead. I feel panic and I wonder if he is even alive. But no no. I am dreaming he is not real. I really have to tell myself this. I don't feel like I am going to wake up but a part of me wanted to so that I could check on him. I cuddle him to me and calm down. I force myself to walk the the mirror once more.

I feel my son sort of meld into my left arm and dissapear. I slowly face the mirror an with more determination I press my face into as hard as I can. It is just solid. So weird. I see my reflection. My face is blured and my reflection is looking to my left with a mind of its own. Yes I am deffinitely dreaming. I breath out with frustration and my breath fogs the glass. I hear my wife complain about something. I look over and she threw an arm up in disgust.
I say, "OOOH SHUT UP. You're not real anyway."

OK time to think how am I going to do this. I open the bedroom door thinking I would just be there. Nope. I walk to the front door and really concentrate on being on Nigles ship. I walk to it but I am slowed down. The room stretches and I can't reach the door. I try to run but I feel like some force has me by the waist and I can't get any traction. GOD my house is getting scarry!

I see my hands and it causes me to pause for a moment. They look so odd that I am distracted. I remembered something I wanted to try. I look at my fingers and see how crazy distorted they are. The lengths are all wrong and some fingers fan out into 4 or 5 other ones. I kind of chuckle at this. I have read that this happens in dreams and makes a good RC but I had never see it for myself in a lucid dream only in HI. Then, I remember something else and I try to make magic like on skyrim or the sorccerors apprentice. Bah I got nothing.

OK back to work! I am too determined not to complete my task. I force my way to the door and now it wont open. So I hit it. It cracks like glass. AH HA! I hit it again and again and each time the door cracks away. I begin to see daylight. They living room was so dark before. The last time the door looks really weak so I use the force. I force push like in Star Wars and the door explodes into tiny peieces.

I run outside but it is just my normal neighborhood. I run a few houses down to the south. On the East side of my street I see 2 women sitting on thier front poarch talking.
I stop and ask, "Can I get a ride to Nigel's boat?" I figure it was worth a shot. They both look hessitant and shocked that I talked to them. I think about how DCs like to talk gibberish a lot and I don't expect much of an answer.
But the one on the left says, "Yeah". I follow her to her house accross the street. Shis is wearing a black and grey one piece bathing suit. I see her keys in her hand.
I say"Well the thing is we might have to drive to the ocean. That's a long way." I think how I don't want to spend my LD trapped in a long car ride! She looks discouraged and confused.
I decide to try to convince her or something else. I said, "Look. Don't you have a teleporter? I know you have to. Eeeeeveryone has a teleporter!" I look at her hopeful and try to convince her.
Then she says one word without emotion, "Yes."
As she goes in her house she turns and says, "I have to freshen up a bit."
I follow her inside but think to ask, "Is it ok if I come in?
Again she says "Yes."

I look around and she has a messy house. I see a cat run off. I take it all in.
She says, Sorry my house is a mess."
"Oh dont worry about it. I dont mind." Then for some reason I get horny. Its just me and her alone in her house. Giggity. I grab her to me and take her top down. She goes limp and to allows me without emotion. I stop.
"I am sorry. I should not have done that." I remember that I have a task to do. I don't want to waste my lucid dream on sex. I would just wake up and be mad. I let it go.

We walk to a back room and she hands me a pill bottle full of some liquid.
"Here drink this."
I say, "What? So I drink this and I am teleported? She nods. "Are you sure? Whats in it? Oh well here I go." I open it and drink all of it. I remember one TOTM where you drink a potion and I didn't focus on the taste. This time I took the time to. I noticed it was thick and slightly sweet but tasted a lot like cough syrup.

I waited but nothing happened. "nothing happened"
"Oh thats just my vitamin thereapy. I dont like it."
I get pissed and realize she obvioulsy isn't going to help me. I hear some man talking in another room but Ignore him. I start to walk out side but I see a hallway to the left. I decide she has to have a teleporter some where in the house. I sneak in hoping she thinks I left the house.

I walk to a room and see a gross and dirty tanning bed. I see the light and feel the heat from it. There is a dirty toilet to the right. I start to get in the tanning bed thinking that will work but I really dont want to try that.

I walk to the next room and see a black pod of some sort. It looks like a SCI-FI deep sleep chamber. That has to be it! I get in and lie down. The lid closes and the light dims. Nothing happens. I look by my right hand and see a control panel. I punch a few buttons and say, "Cretaceous Period!" I hear a chiming sound and a swooshing noise. Then a chiming sound and the lid opens.

I AM AT THE BOTTOM OF AN OCEAN FLOOR! I see all the fish from the Sea Monsters show. Thousands of fish swimming all over the place. I am so happy. This is way better than Nigel and his ship! I am right in it. I see a Mosasaur right off the bat. I dont see sharks. I see something like Ichthyosaurs. I see a few Xiphactinus. I also see hundreds of other things that don't belong. Like little cartoony worm like things on the floor. And cartoony looking turtles. There was so much activy and so many different things swimming around that I have hard time seeing it all. I feel like sensory over load.

I hear some silly music and a dopey voice singing. "...Here I am swimming in the deep blue sea. The deep blue see. The deep blue sea...."
I laugh my ass off at this. I laughingly repeat "The deep blue sea hahaha!"

I notice and am not surprised that I can breath underwater. I remember that every underwater dream I could always breath like no big deal. I begin to swim. I notice the coral life in the floor and white sand. I see a deep ocean floor valley not far away. The water is so clear and everything is amazingly beautiful. But the ocean life is so thick! None of the fish seem to notice me and I am not afraid. Even when the big fish with large teeth swim by I feel calm and they ignore me. The fish don't even bother to eat each other. This Cretaceous Ocean is tame. I am surprised at this because I thought for sure I would be eaten if I pulled this off.

I get kind of bored just swimming. I feel content that I completed my task and am happy with myself. I see woman in a bright red one piece. She is just floating like she is dead. But I see her head turn and one eye look at me. Her reddish hair flows in the water. I come to her from behind. At first I act like I am a fish and lightly bite her arm. Then I get really horny again the dream turns into the best lucid sex ever. I feel really guilty because I don't like wasting a dream on sex. I didn't care at that point. I'll leave the rest to the imagination...

Afterwards. I notice we are on a white sandy beach and I see a rock cliff. For some reason I think there is a road up there but I don't care. I really just want to wake up now and record my dream. At that thought the world fades to black.
