    Lucid Dreams

    1. Alligator; Short Flight Lucid

      by , 08-26-2012 at 03:06 AM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      Alligator

      An alligator attacked my boy. It bit his foot and my boy started screaming. I opened the alligators mouth with my hands on either side of his mouth. I saw its teeth. I showed the inside of his mouth to someone.

      I eventually let it go, and then I was afraid it was going to attack me. I think it did turn to attack me, but it didn't try hard, and my dream ended.

      Short Flight Lucid

      I started flying and I realized I was lucid. I flew up well but then I became heavy. I never tried to stabilize, and I my dream ended.

      I wouldn't even count this except that I want to keep track of every time I become lucid.

    2. Horse Race

      by , 08-25-2012 at 11:48 PM
      Showering etc at mum and dads. Take too long, will miss all busses to work. Driving instead. Still too late. Try to turn around. Suddenly being towed (not in a car) by a racehorse. Becomes a race. Spawn a dog to chase the horse to make us faster. Suddenly ahead of the horse, make it a personal race against dog and horse. I win. I think I was second in the actual race, but I didn't stay for the awards. Left with Rohan.
    3. 25th August 2012 - 18th Lucid Dream [Meeting my mother in her childhood]

      As expected, my dry spell finally broke when most unexpected. I went to bed late last night and was worried about dream recall, let alone lucidity. I woke up for my WBTB and remembered no dreams but shortly after I tried to go back to sleep I was disturbed by my Dad. Apparently we had a power cut and he wanted me to call the power company to find out when it was back on. This resulted in a much longer WBTB than I usually have (About 30-40 minutes, as apposed to my 10-15 minute normal ones). I went back to sleep after a lot of rolling around trying to relax after waking myself up so much and the following dream occurred.

      I was in a supermarket of some kind queuing up with my mother when we bumped into my aunt, my sister and my niece. We all decide to go for a picnic and as we're heading to the park my niece picks up a blade of grass, attempting to perform a grass whistle but doesn't seem to be succeeding. I laugh and figure I'd show her how to do it later on.

      We get to the park and we set up on this picnic bench. My sister pulls out these cards and wants to try this game with me. I'm not entirely sure what happened with the first game, she had some Pokemon drawn on these cards and it was something about matching their colours to country flags. Really confusing.

      The second game was much more interesting. The cards now had moving images on them of old 1950s style streets, with retro cars driving around them and the game was to count all of the cars in the scene. At some point I just became part of the scene, I was no longer looking at the cards and watching it, I was walking around the streets myself. I then noticed on the side of the road a lime-coloured extremely modern car which first prompted my awareness.

      As I continue walking I enter a sort of layer zero mindset, somewhat knowing what I'm experiencing wasn't waking reality but not fully lucid yet. I'm heading down this street and keep trying to pull my awareness forward, it's really hard to describe, almost like flicking switches in my brain to become lucid.

      I finally reach a point of awareness where I know I'm dreaming. Everything looks amazing, the wind against my skin and the vividness of the trees around me. I even notice the warmth of the sun and how it makes me squint as I walk into it.

      At this point I remember to reality check, just to stabilise myself more into the dream state. Something I've been forgetting to do in any lucid experiences recently which have resulted in them quickly dying out or fading back into non-lucidity. I lift my hands and my fingers had their normal odd lengths so I knew I was dreaming. I got really exciting, finally I was lucid again!

      I decided to stray away from the path of the dream and phase myself through this hedge on the side of the road that I'm standing on. I enter somebody's yard, it's huge and inside the house I see a man cooking dinner but decide to ignore him. As I'm walking down the side of this house, tracing the grey cobbled wall, I remember that I wanted to summon a dream character. I also remember that the best way to do this would be passively.

      I come to near the end of the wall that I'm tracing and I say to myself "When I get around this corner, my mum will be standing there." for some reason at this point I look down to the ground and the wall seems to extend further beyond its original point, my subconscious obviously toying with me. I pay more focus to this wall and finally reach the end.

      I turn the corner and I'm disappointed, nobody was standing there! I'm about to walk back behind the wall to try again when I see a character running towards me from a distance. I recognise that it's my mum immediately, although, she looks about 6 or 7 years old and tagging along behind her is her twin sister and my aunt. I'm completely baffled at my subconscious power to do this without me even suggesting it or having anything to prompt it!

      They're running around me laughing and I can't help but laugh with them. The hilarity of meeting my mother as a child was just too much. I go to sit down with them on a bench and again am insanely glad that I'm finally lucid!

      I start thinking about where I fell asleep, for some reason while lucid I thought I fell asleep in the park from my non-lucid segment before this DILD. I was going to wake up and not have my dream journal to write the lucid down in! Thinking about waking must have shocked my subconscious because the dream sort of "jumped", as if it briefly zoomed in and then zoomed back out rapidly before fading to black and the dream ended. I didn't have any time to stop it.


      I fade back into waking life, and at first I'm somewhat confused that I'm in my bedroom considering I thought I was in a park in my lucid. I jump up and immediately write down my lucid in my dream journal, ecstatic that my dry spell was broken.

    4. Random Jake Dreams, and Meeting My Pen Pal In Person

      by , 08-25-2012 at 02:51 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      Finally, some good recall again!

      I was with Jake. I can't quite remember where.

      Then, I was sitting at my desk putting a baggie with a tiny piece of a marijuana bud in it in an envelope for my friend, Grace (who doesn't smoke in waking life). I was going to mail it to her. I felt like I had mailed marijuana before and it wasn't a big problem (yeah, I'm not dumb enough to do this in waking life).

      I then was walking through what was supposed to be a high school or something. I was still with Jake. I then saw my reflection in something we walked past, not a mirror but a very reflective surface, and I looked quite a bit different. My hair was short and straight and styled in a bouffant fashion. I was wearing a short skirt, red I think, but I don't remember what kind of top I was wearing. I looked at it for a second as we walked by.

      I again saw my reflection, and it looked the same as before, bouffant hairdo and all.

      Then, we were walking through a garage, still at the school apparently, and I was smoking a cigarette. As we walked up the stairs to the door to exit the garage, I flicked the butt behind me, not watching where it landed. My dad was then walking with me, and commented on the stink of the cigarettes (apparently lots of people smoked here).


      ~

      I was going to Jake's. I went into his apartment, and immediately thought that the locks had been changed for the new roommates moving in, and I didn't have the new key. Oh well.

      I walked through the apartment, which looked much different than in waking life. I remember walking past a cabinet with these two new, gold locks on it. On the living room couch were his two new roommates, two college guys. I remember one having a very short black mohawk and being shirtless. I don't remember what they were doing, I think they were just drinking soda or something. They didn't even seem to notice as I walked in.

      I then went to Jake's room. It was super messy, and he was sleeping on what looked like a cot in the middle of the mess, kind of close to the door. I woke him up and said something about his new roommates.


      ~

      There are some fragments that I can't really place.

      One, I was watching something on TV in my room with my mom, when the bouffant girl that was supposed to be me in the last dream came on TV. I got excited and told her about the dream. She smiled and got excited too (lol she wouldn't get excited in waking life).

      Another was of me driving topless. I felt exposed. Why the hell was I driving topless?

      I then remember something about seeing my old cat, Pounce, or at least a cat that looked just like her. This triggered lucidity, and I looked at my hands to stabalize, but I immediately lost it and went into a non-lucid dream.


      ~

      I got a text from my pen pal, Gabriel, whom in waking life I've never met in person, and who lives in another state. It said
      "Wanna get a drink?"
      I hadn't realized he had texted me; it had been about 30-45 minutes since he had asked me. I got really excited and I told him yes, but he didn't answer right away. It was kinda late too, like 8:30pm or so.

      So I got online and ordered some ticket to some bar in Franklin, the town he lived in in the dream. I then somehow had the small white ticket. It looked like a ticket to a movie.

      I was then in the kitchen at my house, My mom was then telling me how she wanted me to help her with something. I told her I wasn't going to be coming home that night. She asked why, and I said I was going to go get a drink.

      I realized that he never answered my text. I then called him, and he picked up on the first ring. I was a little nervous about talking to him.
      "Hello?" he said.
      "Hey."
      "Hey."
      "I do want to get a drink."
      That's about all I remember of the conversation, though I'm sure there was more. I felt more at ease as we talked. His voice was soft and deep; comforting.
      I think he texted me his address.

      I then left. It was dark, obviously, since it was late. I only had about an hour and a half to drive (only 30 min. away in waking life).

      I was then at his place. We went into his room, and he was talking to me as he went through some stuff on his bed. He had already bought this six pack of hard lemonade-type drinks. So I guess we were drinking at his place. His apartment seemed a little messy, but it wasn't bad. He had short black hair, looked youthful, and was a little shorter than the average guy. He actually would later in the dream remind me of someone I'm acquainted with in waking life, Tony.

      I sat down at a desk chair, and we started on our hard lemonades. We were talking, having a good time, feeling each other out since we'd never actually met in person. I was a little skeptical just because I felt like I kinda rushed into getting drinks with him, but he seemed gentle, nice, and genuine.

      At one point we were talking about the lemonades. He was already on his second, and I was still on my first, though it was almost gone.

      I then fell asleep. I woke up, and didn't see Gabriel. I went to the bag the six pack was in, but all the lemonades were gone. I guess I had been out long enough for Gabriel to drink the rest.

      My mom then came in and did or said something, I can't remember, but I thought it was insane that she even knew where I was, that she even knew his address. Weird.

      Then, Gabriel came back in with a bunch more booze. He pulled out amber liquor and beer, which was the same color. I started to open one up, but realized it was liquor, so I started to open up another, smaller bottle instead. I actually wasn't sure if it was liquor or beer or something else altogether, but I poured it into a glass and started to drink it. The flavor wasn't bad, though it tasted muted for some reason. I could taste the slight bitterness, but it was fine.

      Then, we were talking again, I think I mentioned something about my mom coming over. I was a little tipsy, but mostly I think I was just tired. Gabriel started talking to some of his friends, whom I think were supposed to be his band. They were looking at instruments that were in what now seemed to be a mixture of Gabriel's place and a music store. This is the part where I really thought he looked like Tony. He made hand gesture to his mouth to tell the guys we were drinking. The next thing I remember, they were gone.

      At some point, I noticed his bed. It was a queen with old, dusty, worn-looking white bedding. I thought it would be perfect to share with him.

      I then took too big a sip of my alcohol. I let it sit in my mouth for a second, afraid to swallow cause I didn't want to puke, but sucked it up and did it anyway. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, it was just fine.

      I feel like my mom was there again. Someone was, anyway, and I was laying on my stomach on a bed or something. Gabriel then put his hand on my back. A big smile painted my face. His touch was so gentle and soft. I trusted him a lot more then.

      Finally, Gabriel said he was going to go to bed. I asked him if he wanted me to stay or go.
      "Ummm..." He was thinking.


      I then was woken up to hearing my neighbor call their dog.
      "Sawyer!!!"

      Oddly, in the last dream, I think part of me knew it was a dream. I didn't want to wake up, and I remember looking at my hands trying to keep the dream, but I wasn't actively lucid. It was just "in the back of my head" or something. I dunno. Either way, I'm not going to classify it as lucid.

    5. Hangover DEILD - Saturday - 2012-08-25

      by , 08-25-2012 at 12:23 PM (The Path of Iapetos)
      [COLOR="royalblue"]Non-Aware (Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="blue"]Partially Aware (Lucid Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="navy"]Fully Aware and Vivid (Astral Projection(OOBE)[/COLOR]

      I got home from a party about 03:15 and went to bed immediatelly, no usual falling asleep routine today, because I already knew my recall was doomed to fail.

      My parents woke me up and I had headache and was really tired so I yelled to them "Close the door and let me sleep!".
      They understand :P later on this motning they even made me toasts with salmon on it and with that my favorite morning drink of apple juice ;)

      Anyway when I went back to sleep I had some dream I can't remember but then I woke up and I did a DEILD by misstake, if you could call it that.

      I was thinking random thoughts and suddenly made up a little story in my head. I thought about a little house near a beach and me feeling the water with me feet, for some reason a friend was there as well. [COLOR="blue"]But then suddenly the daydream got more vivid and I can actually see and feel the sand with my hands. I stopped a moment to think about my hangover and I could kins of still feel it, and even though I was very aware I was not aware or smart enough to resist my greatest enemy to my lucidity. A hot chick (blonde)....:roll: I walked to her and she was very seductive herself and I was in her trap. Bye bye lucidity. [/COLOR]

      [COLOR="royalblue"]I am not going to explain details I am just going to let the readers here use their dreaming uhum imagination. She was very, how to explain it with proper words, ehm naughty, asking for it...
      And for real i don't really like these girls I am more of a guy who feels sorry for them. But in this dream I was all over her. Although the real thing never happened but we got far into foreplay. We went to her house and it was really messy clothes everywhere not cleaned for weeks maybe months. But when we was going to rock "the casbah" her friends came into the room. Around me she behaved like we were a couple, then something weird and embarrassing happened.
      My two friends Tom and Eric walks into the room looks at "my girl" and do the "WOW" with their mouths, walks to me and say "Hang on to her and congratulations man!" and I believe Eric said "Lucky you" with a smile.

      I went out in a yard where "the girl" and her friends were. They talked about different stories but I remember a guy said to me "Do you know where your girl is from?" "No" I said and shake my head" and he answered "She is from Nigaru".
      I looked at her and back at him with a weird gaze and thought to myself "Is she from Africa? or where is Nigaru it sure sounds African, ah well she is not really my girl so why do I have to worry?".

      Then I see some guy throwing a iPhone speaker and another guy catches it with his ear :shock:
      "How did he do that?" I yelled. And instead of answering they tell some weird story that I instead of only hearing, starting to experience, Inception in other words. I remember that they made fun of him jokingly and told him that he is the superman whose only power is to use his ears. Then I see some guy standing on a church tower and take down a cross and yells "F*ck Christianity we are the new rulers now!". Then I am back in the yard talking to the people.

      I went to look for "the girl" again and I open the door to her room and say "Hello?" and stick my head through the door run. I see 4 girls sitting on a bed and I get pushed by some guy that runs away laughing and the door closes.
      One word "akward". "Uhhmm have you seen" I suddenly realize that I don't even know her name and the girls look funny at me. I then see a girl I know crying and cold me I walk past her...

      And I see the girl I looked for and then I think to myself "Nobody seems to do anything I need to ask her how she is doing.". I tell the girl "that I need to talk to the girl who is crying" but she just answers "Yeah ya" like nothing has happened. When I go to the crying girl and ask her what's wrong she say "I got breastcancer" I see her cry and say "Don't worry everything is going to be fine, they can fix it you know." I remember feeling stupid for saying that but she said "They are going to perform surgery next week."
      [/COLOR]

      Then I woke up 11:54. And I was kind of worried that it was a precognitive dream, even though I don't believe in such.

    6. My beautiful bay area.

      by , 08-25-2012 at 09:04 AM (Zechariah's Dream Journal)
      Entry #1

      I was walking down a sidewalk that lead all the way around a large circular bay. The area was an industrious kind, with average sized sky scrapers and corperation buildings. The immediate view made the dream what it turned out to be.
      I knew I was in my head, but this place was too serene and beautiful to lose any surreal value. Lifting up in the air, I looked around to see a cruise ship docked in the water bellow me, and I decided to warm up with the simpler push and pull movements. I reached my hand towards the ship to direct of movement and it began to slide forward and gain speed- all until it crashed on the other side of the bay, shattering a wooden dock and part of the sidewalk it was connected to. So I flew over the clearest of layered waters I’ve seen first hand, towards a building that needed to be changed, all the while trying to figure how I was going to change it, and attempting to convince myself I already knew how to change it.
      Because of the amplified thought process dreams bring, if you find a reason to believe that you are already capable of accomplishing a certain feat, you’ll be suprised at what revalations you might have in the mechanics of getting it done. Is that an answer to induction of revelation?- and is it the entrance to a unlocking a larger percentage of the brain mass we don’t consciously use?

    8. August 22, 2012 Sleep paralysis - "My Left Eye Can't See My Left Arm"

      by , 08-25-2012 at 04:32 AM (The Dream Magic Experiment)
      1:42 p.m.

      I thought I was awake. I was on the bed. I can feel the bed. I can feel my body. I can see my room. The light was in. But I move my arm in front of me and I can't see it. I can't move it or can't see it. Am I getting blind? I can see my right arm move via my right eye. Realized it's a sleep paralysis. I willed myself to wake up. No go.

      I am starting to panic. I locked my door, so no one can come in and help me. I moved but my eyes are still faulty. Afraid. How can I live with a bad eyesight? I thought up dozens of ways to live. I am hearing the audio playing in the background. I want to wake up. But I can't. I'm still in the in between. I tried moving my body and feet. I can still hear the audio. I moved my right arm and took the phone so I can change the audio; didn't work. I'm still asleep. Relaxed somehow. I just have to wait it out. Went into a semi-aware dream. Moved in the "room" and did capoeria moves. I jumped-crunched. McDo. Meeting all N2. Donnie. BP nearby. Change of venue. Closer. Checked my body on bed. Still can't move. I was on the bed trying to move. I can but not awake.

      Finally woke up completely. Moved my arms, checked my room.

      I notice this guy sitting at a table right next to a side street. I walk up to him and notice that he has the same birthday as me by reading his driver license, which was placed on the table. Then I asked him your mixed with black and white too right? He said yea I am. The then I asked who is white, mom or dad? He said dad and I was like wow that's crazy same here. Then I asked his age, he said 25. Then I said wait a minute this is just to weird to actually be happening. I questioned my reality and keep to the conclusion I was in a dream. I read article on dreamviews about stabilizing by looking at your hands intensely while shouting stabilizing lucidity now! It worked for a bit but then I quickly lost lucidity

      My lucids usually last alot longer then this

    11. Emu chicks

      by , 08-25-2012 at 12:46 AM
      House with bushland out back, possibly holiday house. Eating breakfast with boys when I notice a lot of large emu chicks out the back. Make noise to call them and they all look at me. Note to myself that I must record this in dream journal. Semi-lucid, given my note to self, but in other respects non-lucid.

    12. A DILD and a WILD

      by , 08-24-2012 at 07:48 PM (Ophelia's Book O' Fun II)
      Had a fun time this morning. I woke up at about 5:30am, but couldn't get back to sleep until well after 7am. I had a DILD but I've forgotten some of it since I had a WILD after that.

      I don't remember anything before this now, but I remember I became lucid because I was trying to read some words on a card, and they kept dancing around all crazy. So I started walking down a hallway, all happy that I'm lucid. Then the thought hit me that I wanted to go through a mirror and find those demons, to ask them the proverbial questions: where did you come from, why did you harass me, then why haven't you returned? .. you know, that old chestnut. There was a really pretty full length mirror on the wall, with a decorative white border. I remembered that I designated 4 knocks was the combination to get me to their "lair". I knocked 4 times, then went through. The glass was really stiff, but I got through. It seems like the glass gets stiffer and stiffer, each time I go through one. Anyway, as soon as I got through, There was a plastic film in the way, and just on the other side of the film I could see a football player in an orange uniform. He pulled me through the plastic and said "Oh good, you're here!" But when he pulled me through, he left me suspended in midair lol. He went down the hall and said "This way!" then disappeared around the corner. "Hey! HEY YOU!! How do I get down?!" No answer. I could pivot left and right, but I was stuck in the air. I finally managed out of sheer will to get unstuck and I plopped down on the floor. I followed the direction the football player went, but I suddenly became over aware of my glasses. (We JUST talked about this yesterday in irc, can you believe it!) I took them off to see if I could see clear or not in the dream without them, but it was a little blurry, so I left them on. As I reached the end of the hall, I could hear a voice singing opera. I realized I was backstage, behind a huge red velvet curtain. It looked alot like the met stage. I opened the curtains slightly and peeked on stage, where I could see a tenor rehearsing an aria with piano accompaniment. I "think" it was "La donna e mobile" from Rigoletto. At this point my glasses were really bugging me, so I took them off. When I did that, another pair appeared. I took off maybe 5 pairs of glasses before I woke up.

      I woke up and went back to sleep a 2 more times I think. When I woke up the next time, I was really relaxed, perfect temperature, nice and quiet, and I felt like I was moments from going back to sleep again. I felt the vibrations again, but this time they were really mild. In fact I heard them more than I felt them. This is kinda hard to describe, but it seems like that every time my hearing started to go, the sound of the fan got really weird. And I was also kind of able to control it a bit. It was a little disturbing at first, and it felt like it was keeping me from getting to sleep. I just let it cycle over me several times, until finally I felt like I was transitioning into a dream. I was really focusing on staying relaxed, and not getting too excited about the fact that I was about to have my 2nd WILD ever. I had the sensation of moving across the bed, like something was pulling me. Such an interesting sensation. I waited for images to appear behind my eyelids so that I would be able to open my dream eyes. I started to see some letters, and math problems, or chemical formulas appear. I decided to risk it and I slowly opened my eyes. I knew I was in a dream already (it felt just like my first WILD), because right when I opened my eyes and saw my bedroom, my body was lifted into a sitting position by an unseen force. I got up and started for the bathroom mirror, and noticed a digital clock on the floor that I don't own irl. The numbers were all jumbled and kept changing. Before I went into the bathroom, I asked if anyone was there. No reply. I went to the bathroom mirror and looked at myself. Sure enough, I always look about 25 and totally babelicious. Sigh. Anyway, this time I thought to "set the combination" first. One knock for the HP dimension, 2 knocks for some kind of Vampire dimension, and 3 knocks for the demon's lair. I said it aloud with each one. (I messed up though because 3 knocks was supposed to be alien planet, and 4 knocks is for the demons, curse you cohesive flow!) Anyway, I knocked 3 times, and went through the mirror, which still felt a bit stiff, but I could get through regardless. I was spit out into this huge grocery store. It was beautiful, green and silver. It almost looked like a palace, except it had aisles of food products, and fancy eating area. I was SO MAD. I felt so deceived by my subconscious. So I walked around, looking for some DCs to beat up or something, I was mad and I wanted to take it out on someone lol. I walked past a table where some people were sitting, and I saw these hot twin guys. I thought "Twins TWINSSSS" they looked at me and smiled. I turned around and turned boy. When I turned back to the table, there was an even hotter guy leaning over it, talking to the twins. I played with that guy, then myself, got a bit bored then woke up.

      I didn't accomplish the goal, but I did have my 2nd successful WILD, and still got to do alot of fun stuff. Still, I need a new list of goals. I'll still probably use the mirror, but I may not try so hard to force the outcome.

    13. Attempted Flying & Exporing + Soda Machine Hack (Lucid, Reality Checks, WILD)

      by , 08-24-2012 at 07:39 PM
      Woke up on 8/17/12
      *Only remember fragments of some dreams
      *Before the following dreams I had other lucid dreams. However, since I can’t remember the old ones I will only count the ones I remember into my total.
      *My lucidity carried over from previous dreams, so I tried to remember to do reality checks in the following dreams.


      Successful WILD
      Successful reality checks


      In no particular order:

      1) The first thing I can remember is that I was in some plain area with fencing around it (The floor was probably just dirt). I remember being lucid in previous dreams so I attempted to hold on to my lucidity. I did a hand reality check and my hand seemed normal but because I was already lucid I tried to force something to happen. Soon my hands attached to each other and I had four fingers on the left side and three on the right. I don’t understand why I was so determined to perform a reality check when I was already lucid. I probably just wanted reassurance. I attempted flying first by jumping a few times, and I got higher and higher like I expected. Somehow, gravity was pulling me down and though I tried to fight it by jumping over and over I was unable to overcome it. It was as if there was a height limit and I wasn’t able to pass it. I was back to where I began my flying attempt and this time I tried to swing my arms up as hard as I possibly could. I did this a few times and went up higher than I expected, but after a brief moment of floating I could feel gravity pulling me down again. Once again I was back where I started and I began jumping again, but instead I turned a little to the left so that I was looking at the corner of the fence and I jumped forward bouncing myself over the fence and over a few small pieces of scenery that I cannot remember clearly. There was one obstacle that I believe was a wall. It looked green and I remember thinking that I wasn’t going to make it over, but I don’t remember what happened. The dream must have ended.

      2) Like the previous dream, I was lucid from dreams that happened early in my sleep and tried to hold on to that lucidity. I was in some building with gray was walls, though the mood wasn’t at all scary or depressing. I was standing in the middle of what I can best describe as a doorway without a door in it. It was simply an opening into another room. The opening was about 10 feet wide and the walls were about half a foot to a foot thick. I looked down at my hands once again, trying to assure myself that I was lucid. I tried to concentrate on something being wrong with them and I think that eventually they did become odd in some way (I think I just keep looking and eventually I could see another finger on my left hand). The dream faded before I knew it.

      3A) I was in my taekwondo class and people were practicing with nunchucks. I don’t remember many details besides the people who were there. When we were done my mom gave my friend a ride to our house. I went to the bathroom while he used our computer, but the view was of him at the computer.

      *The following dream is somehow connected to the previous dream. It may be an alternate series of events starting from getting in the car.

      3B) I am outside of a supermarket (I assume it is a Wal-Mart. This is explained in the dream notes in Section 3.1B). I get in my mom’s car and we are about to take someone home (Instead of being the friend from taekwondo he is a guy who used to go to my school). He gets out of the car and starts talking to his friends. While we are waiting he turns into a female dream character without me realizing it. I ask if she is coming and she waves us off. My mom begins driving and as the dream went on, I went from traveling in a car to pushing a shopping cart on foot. At one point, I push the shopping cart into a thin wooden board that was resting on a wire fence at a steep angle hoping to drive it over the wire fence by using the board (I don’t realize how odd my attempt is. The board was almost parallel to the fence). It doesn’t work, so I decided to back up to get more momentum. I run faster attempting to push the cart over the fence once again. It goes higher, but I am still unsuccessful. I leave the cart behind and easily climb over the fence. Behind it is a type of junkyard area with tan-colored dirt and a couple of tall huts made of some material of the same color (maybe even the same dirt) surrounding the area. The huts rest on a wall of dirt that surrounds the small area. I find it boring and proceed to different areas. As I explore I see elaborate playgrounds in different directions. One was in the distance in a wooded area. The playground was made of tall logs and had pointy roofs. I kept exploring and the biomes changed very quickly (in a way very similar to how biomes change in Minecraft. I’m in a grassy area one moment and ahead I would see a circular area of sand connecting to the beach; once I’m off the sand, there would suddenly be grass again. I eventually make it to some playground for a short period of time then start traveling again. For some reason, I’m looking for my school at one point. I reach it and the dream gets gray; it looks like it does on a cloudy afternoon. I go down one hallway and walk inside the office, though it looks nothing like the office in my school. I see two soda machines and two snack machines and I end up with wet paper towels in my hand which I try to stuff up the change compartment of the vending machines (This is explained in the dream notes in section 3.2B). A student next to me is doing the same and I make a comment about how I am surprised that he has also heard of the trick. I then say that I heard about it yesterday from a guy I knew. Behind us was a room with glass windows surrounding it. There were thin support beams in between the windows. My mom was sitting at a table in the room with two sodas.

      Dream Notes:

      General: The previous day, I performed more reality checks than I have ever done in one day. This contributed immensely to my lucidity and high level of awareness.

      3.0B) I watched an episode of Wildest Police Videos the day before this dream. In one clip a man and his son were pulled over, but shot the cop and drove away. The police surrounded their car outside of a Wal-Mart and shot them. The scene in my dream was exactly the same as the scene in the clip (aside from the violence, cop cars, and guns of course).

      3.1B) I volunteer at Habitat for Humanity. A guy I know there who is doing community service was getting a soda the day before this dream. He started talking to us about how he used to stuff paper towels up the change compartment to catch the change and take it out at the end of the day to see how much money would come out. This is what I was doing in the dream.

    14. 1st lucid in years

      by , 08-24-2012 at 06:39 PM (Life's Dream Accounts)
      I haven't been lucid in so long and now I am.

      I was in stressful situation where my family had left me for some event. I tried to ask them what happened but they said I had missed out because I had to buy a ticket to get into the pool. I forgot about them and said "well, I just I'll just go home." I felt depressed ad was going to find away when I realized I was barricaded in this area where the pool was and the parking lot. All the sudden I said wait "I'm dreaming!" and I said it so loud within myself that I launched up into the air. I flew and it felt thrilling, like I was on a roller coaster. I came to realized that I don't need to ask myself If I want to lucid dream that I needed to connect to the higher good to lucid dream. I then flew and noticed a young lady who looked a bit like an older Anne Frank with her hair up in a bun with a child who was sitting and reading a book at a park below me. She looked up from where she was sitting and smiled at me like she knew something was going to happen, I awoke with this tucked into my mind.

    15. Inspired By My Books

      by , 08-24-2012 at 09:03 AM (Zoe's weird things)
      Guenhwyvar

      [This dream happened on August 22nd, at around 10AM]
      [So uh... the last DJ entry i posted was almost a month ago... Well i was feeling really down for a while now and my lucidity was going bad as well, but i hope to change it now ]
      [Both this dream and the upcoming one were inspired by the Dark Elf Trilogy i'm reading currently]


      I was just walking on the street really close to my old school, when for some unknown reason i became lucid. I realized that i didn't have stable and worthy lucid dream since a while, so i become pretty happy.

      I didn't think much about what to do, for some reason i thought of Guenhwyvar almost as soon as i became lucid. [He is a spectral black panther in the books]. I didn't plan anything, but wanted him to appear. As soon as i turned a bit to my right side, there he was, standing in all his glory.


      I didn't really have time to say anything to him or look at him more closely, because he just run off almost instantly, towards the lower end of the street. I immediately started running after him and catched up fast.
      He suddenly stopped at a house, which's car entrance to the garden was open. I looked in there and noticed something between the shrubbery. It looked somewhat like a huge white dog-ish creature, but it was standing on two feet. It looked angry for some reason.

      Before i could do or say anything, Guenhwyvar just jumped in there and attacked the dog like creature. I wanted to help him out, just in case, so i ran up to them and tried to fight the creature, but instead of fighting, i automatically started hugging the black panther.
      I just hugged him near his neck and didn't really know why i did that, but it was an interesting feeling putting my head on his black fur.

      Soon i was just staring at him while still hugging and then i got lost in the black, woke up.

      [Well, haha, i have no idea why that hug was, other than that i got to like him in the books, but still... i didn't even control my actions when i hugged him]
      [The dream was pretty short, but it was somewhat more stable now than the ones i had for weeks before]



      ----------------------------------------------------------------------



      To Be Sacrificed

      [This dream is from August 23rd, around 8:35AM]
      [I find it pretty interesting how the books can influence even my lucid dreams... ]


      I was being harassed by 4 old classmates, while i was sitting in my old school at a lesson. They were standing outside at the big windows and making fun of me. I got tired of this and just thought that maybe i'm dreaming and i can do something about it... so i walked through the wall and grabbed two of them by their necks and put them into the wall halfway. They got stuck in there while the others ran away.
      I got more aware now, but not lucid yet.

      Soon i flew above the street and when i got to the same part where i became lucid yesterday [the dream above this one] i remembered that dream and became lucid again.

      Now i was more aware of myself than yesterday and before doing anything, i instantly stabilized by rubbing my hands together. When rubbing them, i noticed that i have some heavy gloves on, but i didn't care about them too much. I turned around to check my environment.
      There was an old stooped woman walking slowly away from me and when i looked at her back i got all dizzy, so i started stabilizing again.
      When i was done, i decided to move on.
      [I forgot a part here, all i know is that i went back to my school and did something there, so a bit of time skip here]

      I came out of my old school at a backdoor, but the place where i got to was unknown to me. It was a small garden, with those huge white greek columns on all sides. There were creeper plants coming down from the walls on all sides. There was a little sidewalk on the left side of the small garden, it was made of red pavement stones.
      I was standing on this sidewalk.

      I started walking near the garden when i realized that on my left side, there was no wall anymore and it lead to some kind of street, but it didn't look like the streets in my town at all. I got curious so i turned that way and moved on, but then before i could leave the area, i heard voices from my right side and from behind me. [I became a little scared here].

      I turned around and noticed a small altar at the right end of the sidewalk. Two female drow were standing next to it, fully naked and both held a dagger in their hands. The grip on the daggers looked like a spider, so i already knew they must be priestesses of Lolth, with sacrifice daggers.
      Then i noticed another drow woman behind me, she was well dressed and her clothes made me think that she is an important person as they were all gold, black and red. She had a whip in her hand.


      I didn't have too much time to think of the situation, because i soon heard the clothed drow say:
      - Go and get her!
      The naked ones reacted instantly, with respect in their voices:
      - Yes, mistress.

      They started walking towards me, with evil grins on their faces and grabbing the daggers more furiously now. One of them started walking faster, leaving the other one behind, but she didn't mind as i've seen and she just stopped to watch instead.

      Spoiler for +18:


      Once she got close enough, i decided that it was enough of staring, i flew up into the air as i got a little scared now and i wanted to fly away from there... but then i had a thought, that i shouldn't fear them as they are just dream characters.
      I turned back to her while still floating in the air and told her:
      - I don't fear you!
      Her evil grin still didn't disappear from her face when she said:
      - Oh, i don't believe you.

      Without much hestitating, the first thing that i thought of was a fireball, so i created one and immediately thrown it at her. It exploded as soon as it reached her, but she didn't seem too affected by it.
      Her body had some burn marks and there were small embers on her body. Her hair was still on fire, but she just started laughing.

      As i was staring at her, i woke up.

      [Um... yeah, that was interesting I think i already know that i should try and get to know a drow girl from closer soon ]
      [Oh well, anyway, i welcome these FR inspired dreams anytime ]
