    Lucid Dreams

    1. The Gas Station and Lots of Violence

      by , 08-08-2012 at 03:39 AM
      02-26-2011 -- That was kind of grim. Started out kind of light, turned into one of my darkest, grimmest dreams ever. This one may not be pleasant. Almost all sweetness and light, but the last few parts are ultra-violent.

      I'm driving down the road, trying to go to Disneyland, and it is late a night. I'm pretty much driving all right until I make a wrong turn and almost get my car trapped, so I get out of the car and start walking. I am near Harbor, and I should only have to walk a block or two to reach Harbor Blvd and be able to turn toward Disney.

      I find myself visiting with a marmalade cat that is mine, and talking with it and visiting with it. I pass a young woman who is moaning about how she has no money and and no food, and will probably die in the cold of the night, and I walk past her, but then start to feel bad for her and come back and give her a little money to help her out. Then I hug her close to show her people still care, and move on.

      I'm walking through a sort of crowd, and there are also dozens of cats around, and all are walking the opposite direction I am, except my cat, which is walking along side of me, not going with the crowd.

      Soon I somehow find myself working a late night shift at a gas station / convenience store. [A type of work I have never done.] A couple of customers come in and make cash purchases, and I handle their transactions easily. Then one guy comes in with his rich family, and he wants gas on two pumps. He asks for $90 on one pump, and $100 on the other. He hands me a credit card, and it is the first credit card I have been given for payment.

      I run it through the machine, and it is very hard to slide, and very tight. A counter next to the machine lights up and shows a map of the internet signal as it is routed to the credit card approval place. A couple of times it goes down a bad path where the signal is lost, and I can see it start a new route from where things went bad, until it manages to connect. Very interesting to watch.

      The card comes back declined, and as I look at it, I spot that it is actually broken, and has a corner of the card taped in place. It was the tape that caused the thing to stick, and I know it isn't going to work. I explain to the customer that his card is broken, but notice that in the stuff he gave me, there is another card, so ask him if he wants me to use that one. He says he does.

      I don't know what is with this card, but it has no number, no bar code, no magnetic stripe, and I can find no way to run it through the machine. I tell the guy I can't use this card, either, and he becomes very insulting. I try to explain that one of the cards he handed me is physically broken, and the other has no data allowing it to be processed, but he starts telling me that I am an idiot and a jerk, and he is going to get me fired over this.

      While his family started out as a small family of four, it has now grown to be something like 20 people, including a bunch of kids. The kids are starting to steal candy and things, and as I confront them and try to make them stop, one of the adults attacks me with a large knife. I take the knife away from him, and go back to speaking with the kids, but an adult near the register opens it, steals the money from inside, and starts to hand it out to all the kids.

      I run back toward the register, and they all begin to run out into the parking lot, which is now packed with tons of people. I follow them to a large bus, and the driver shuts the door in my face, and starts to pull out. I have had it, and I snap. I leap five or six feet into the air and grab the door handle and open the door back up, then let myself into the bus. I pull out the large knife I took from the guy who tried to use it on me, and it slowly stretches into a sword as I walk through the bus and kill every man, woman and child with a few strokes, usually putting one or two deep slices in each one, though one guy I aim just right, and take his entire head off.

      I'm thinking about going through their pockets and getting my money back, but I don't see myself actually doing it in the dream. I get off the bus and head back to the gas station, while the guy who started the whole mess climbs on the bus and starts screaming as he finds what I have done. I approach the gas station, where I find the next shift has come in. I ask him how the balance was, and he tells me I was about $50 off, which is a lot less than expected, so I guess I did take the money back, and somehow put it back, even though I only just walked back in.

      I decide it is time for me to go, and I can see the trouble-maker and a few of his friends in front of the building, so I choose to exit through a window leading onto the hill behind the station. The trouble-makers come running around screaming for my blood, but I fly into the air to avoid them. They are trying to fly as well, and are soon getting it. They are getting closer and closer, and the dream in quickly changing into one of those nightmare chase dreams where you have powers, but so do the enemies.

      I can see this going on and on, and don't want to deal with such a long, miserable process, and decide I have to end things decisively. I think up a nuclear bomb and cause it to appear in my hands, then throw it on the ground. For about two seconds, nothing happens, then there is a flash of light, the hint of a sound, and a wave of heat, and then everything goes gray. I can feel it as just this odd, painless feeling as my body is dissolved into its component atoms, and they go drifting apart. Then I wake up.

      [I'm sorry, I have no idea where this came from. All I can say is I am reasonably certain I am not anywhere near being ready to hack up a bus full of people in real life, or blow up myself and others with a nuke. But it was a pretty grizzly dream.]
    2. Lucid Moment 08/07/2012

      by , 08-07-2012 at 09:17 PM
      I didn't do MILD last night, I went straight to sleep. I woke up 5 hrs later and I was gonna get out of bed but didn't want to miss my REM sleep. I didn't use any induction technique. I was in a dream and got lucid, I don't remember the dream, I just remember doing RCs. I couldn't push my finger through my palm so I pinched my nose, I had to take a really deep breath to confirm that I'm lucid. I kinda had a plan of what I want to do when I'm lucid but I didn't think of it at all in the dream. I thought I could try the TOTM but I couldn't remember what it was. I did RCs again with the same results. I didn't do anything cause I don't know what to do. I did RCs again but they didn't work this time. I don't know if I woke up or continued dreaming.

    3. LD: Convincing stubborn DC's that this was MY lucid dream/An exercise in dream control

      by , 08-07-2012 at 06:22 PM
      I was floating in the air with Tanya, Philip, Sarah, and Kierra when I suddenly became lucid.

      I decided that I wanted to begin my dream by asking them some insightful questions. So I blurted out the first thing that came to me. I turned to Sarah and asked, "What is the best thing about me?"

      She countered back, "Well, what's the best thing about me?"

      I said, "Hey--this is my lucid dream. I get to ask the questions."

      But she decided to be difficult and not answer. So I looked to Tanya. I asked again something like, "What's something good about myself?" I looked at her with pleading eyes, because I wanted her to answer the question. She looked back at my eyes and finally answered, "You're sincere." Ok...I would be satisfied with that.

      I then asked both Kierra and Philip the same thing only to have them ask the same question Sarah did.

      I started getting frustrated. I said, "Darn it. This MY lucid dream. And I'll prove it."

      I stuck out my arm, and said, "If this weren't my lucid dream, could I make my arm glow?" And for a second I was worried because I had never tried to make my body glow before. But my dream powers cooperated and soon my arm was bright.

      I then said, with my arm still out, "If this weren't my lucid dream could I turn my hand blue. And I focused on my hand until it turned blue.


      "Or could I make my hand big?" And soon my hand was growing and strangely large.

      "Or could I make it small?" And I then strank it until is was about half normal size.

      "Or could I make it white?" I turned it a ghostly white.


      Then I decided that I had done enough. I was feeling quite satisfied with this little exercise in dream control. I needed to move on. I wanted to try to go through a mirror again since this has been giving me trouble that last few attempts.

      I found a mirror. It was cracked in a few places. I think I was in what was supposed to be my aunt's house because she was suddenly standing with my in the hallway. I decided to run at the mirror and try for the spot that had the largest unbroken area.

      I took off running only to hit the mirror. Instead on bouncing right back I kind of hung there for a moment before I rolled myself down off the mirror. I tried two more times with the same result and concluded that I would probably never get through a mirror again since I had somehow developed a mental block.

      I decided to try to fly to the moon by going outside and just flying up. I was a little surprised that my dream was lasting this long, but I didn't want to waste it. I knew from past experiences that the quicker I run from one goal to the next the more focused on the dream I was and less likely to lose lucidity.

      It was night outside. I could see so many bright stars. The night sky seemed magical. I was in a city. I had come out of a large building. I saw a bilboard in front of me. It had Mickey Mouse and was an ad for Disneyland. It made me smile. I looked around and saw several more signs all for Disneyland. It made me feel really happy about this place that I had found. I started flying upward. I suddenly heard a conversation on the ground below of a man talking to a boy about finding this certain destination. I tried to follow the conversation, but never was quite sure what they were talking about. It reminded me of the odd audio hallucinations that I sometimes hear right as I am waking up in the morning.


      And it was right after that that I suddenly was awake. And my alarm went off about 20 seconds later.
    4. 8/7/12

      by , 08-07-2012 at 04:44 PM
      I haven't been taking my vitamins like I should, so my dreams are so blurry and fragmented it's crazy when I even have them. But here goes, lol.

      Dream One (Fragment): I'm standing on the pier at the lake talking to my friend J. He's talking about how babies are being born with clear skin and insides, and that there is a small glowing blue orb inside each baby. He says my best friend Ambies is worried that I am going to want to have one because I like strange and paranormal stuff, but she really thinks it's a bad idea. I try to reassure him I don't want anymore babies, not even see through babies with blue orbs all the while He's really worried that I'm lying to him.

      Dream Two (Fragment): I'm running down a hill past some shops. I suddenly realize there is a big body of water and I'm about to run right into it. I reach out and grab a tree and use the momentum to swing myself around the tree and turn around before I end up in the water. I slide on the hill side though and manage to scrape up my leg as I fall. I get up and start jogging slower this time up the hill. A man with dark hair comes out of one of the shops and asks me if I am ok. I say yeah, and ask why he thought something was wrong. He frowns and says he saw me fall and just wanted to check on me. I thank him for his concern and then wake up.

      Dream Three (Semi-lucid): I am bareback on a horse with my arms wrapped around a woman. I realize it's my neighbor, and we're riding the horse over by my dads house. I feel us slipping and I start to freak out that I'm going to get hurt, but then I realize I won't get hurt this is just a dream. I'm not hit by that euphoric wave of OMG this is a dream! but I still understand I can control the situation. I let go of the neighbor and grab the horses mane instead. When I do this the neighbor vanishes and I'm laying flat on the horses back hugging it's neck and mane for dear life whispering shhh shhh until it stops and I slide slowly around it's neck and look at it face to face. I decide it's a pretty horse, but I want to change it. So I think about it being a unicorn, and it's fore head glows and a horn grows on it. I climb back up and ride the horse only a minute or so more to see if it's any different riding a unicorn. Then I decide I'm lonely. I close my eyes and let myself slide off the horse, trying to imagine where L might be with the thought that I'm going to find him and hang out with him. I open my eyes and find myself in a brown carpeted room with golden yellow walls and lots of Manga, alone. I try to close my eyes and imagine falling again to L's side. I find myself in a grassy area with a short wooden table like you see in Anime all the time. There's a woman in a kimono having tea with a man, and then there's L walking towards them. For a moment my lucidity slips and I start to go have tea, but halfway to the table I realize this is still a dream. I change my course and run to L and jump on him. I start yelling, "I'm Lucid! L we're dreaming and I'm lucid. Listen to me, I am lucid and you need to be too!" But of course I must not have been very lucid or I wouldn't be trying to convince the DC he was dreaming lol. He tells me it's ok, he knows, then he leans in and kisses me. I kiss him back a bit shyly of course, but then I'm like what the hell, I'm only dreaming anyways, I'm going to make out with him, lol. Then he shoves his tongue in my mouth and we end up rolling around on the grass making out. A few times I got super excited and realized I'd wake up if I didn't stop so I had to push him back and calm myself down. This is definitely progress for me, because I struggle with waking up when I get too excited. I know I'll never talk to Kurasawa for long if I don't learn to get past it because he tends to end my dreams quickly by kissing me when we meet lol. I am disappointed though that I didn't go looking for him, but finding him will be easier if I work on my control and stabilization anyways.

    5. oh my god. just met my dream guide ROFL!!

      by , 08-07-2012 at 01:55 PM
      PMG MU GOD<---------( first thing i typed hahahahahah! i was so excited i couldnt even spell)
      !!! I JUST MET MY DREAM GUIDE!

      okay so this lucid dream was induced by having a WILD and it was amazing!!!

      so as usual when i go form awake to lucid dreaming, im awake but i feel this sensation of my body being pulled out of bed its so bizzare, i feel my skin brushing up against the blankets, and an immense buzzing through me, and as soon as its over, i wake up in my dream.

      i was 100% lucid, so much so that i was worried about talking or moving in my way,
      shape or form, thus waking up my boyfriend sleeping right next to me.
      i tried to fly out from my windows but sometimes the laws of physics are
      ...still binding in my dreams so i kinda smacked into the glass and decided id rather run because i felt too amazing.

      I stepped out of the appartment trying not to wake my dream boyfriend, i was fully clothed now wearing a jean jacket and a pink shirt, my cats tried to follow me out but i shooed them back in and closed the door because hey, theyre still my cats

      as soon as I got out, this janator was coming in and i grabbed him by the shoulders
      like i was a crackhead who needed a fix...seriosuly i i shook him a little lol and asked him if he was my dream guide
      he said something obscure and random and i said "oookay, im thinking youre not"so i asked him agian and he said no

      still in the hallway something came upstairs from the basement....
      it was that baby head spider robot thing from toy story.....i grabbed its craneum and hesisted to even ask..."oh god, are you my dreamguide?" it shook its head "no" whith a sigh or relief i bolted out of the building,
      I was trying to fly aroundbut it wasnt working well. i bumped into cars and as high as i would get, my feet would still brush the grass underneath me and frankly i was just too hyper to concentrate.

      I walked over where i park my car which is underneath this giant concrete thing with a tennis court on it.
      but it was different, there were no cars and there was a giant hole in the concrete as if someone had bulldozed it open.
      the concrete pieces were scattered around and mixed in with rocks,
      it kinda made this hill leading down to a little river.
      i stood in the quiet space for a moment and then remembered the task at hand.
      "DREAM GUIDE i want to meet you!" I shouted into the sky, I stood there and listened/waited.
      then some pebbles began sliding down the hill on my right hand side,
      there had to have been movement causing those pebbles to fall
      i felt it in my gut...this is it.
      i walked over to where the rocks had fallen from
      "oh god, this is the moment ive been anticipating forever" i thought to myself
      i peeked up the hill around the concrete and there he was,
      sitting in the rubble............ FEZ from that 70's show HAHAHAH

      i knew deep down in me that he was my dream guide, i coud feel it.
      after i stopped laughing hysterically in happyness and about how my dream guide is freakin fez
      he was so good natured and just sat there smiling calmly while i laughed and tried to get over my hyperness,

      i stooped over the rubble and said "okay so you know what i have to ask right?"
      he nodded and continued smiling
      "are you my dream guide?" his smile turned into a grin "yes"
      i even asked him three more times to make sure and he answered yes each time
      but I could tell he was making a "you know i am" face.
      it was incredible i couldnt beleive it, i then made a joke saying
      "dont worry i wont ask about how to get with ladies"
      and he just kind of looked at me in confusion LOL woops...
      i dont think my dream guide watches that 70s show....
      anyways i felt like a bit of an idiot, i always make akward jokes, and if hes my dream guide he knows that already anyways so who cares lol
      I then asked "if i didnt ask for you, would you have show yourself to me on your own?"
      its weird how he doesnt even really need to talk much or say too many words for me
      to understand what hes saying.
      he sort of gave me this look which someone would percieve as confusion but i knew for some reason he was saying "i came when you asked for me and needed me, i would only show myself when you felt ready to see me."
      then i woke up from too much excitement -_-

      after i woke from immediate lucid state into reality I pretty much LEAPED out of my bed and whipped into the living room to write this down.
      i met my dream guide. and he is fez. oh my god.
      at first my thoughts are "can i change his appearance? would that be wrong? can i take him seriously as fez giving me life advice?" but in a weird way its like....i dont care, something opened up in me about my dream guide that is beyond appearances, he may have looked like a hilareous slightly racist tellevision character but he didnt act like it.
      the only thing i would change is maybe for him to have some pants and a shirt on next time lol he probably didnt wanna wear bellbottoms and a ruffle blouse.....understandable.

      I cannot beleive this just happened still.it was my most important goal and i got it on my first real successful WILD after like a year of no lucid dreaming, i think he knew how much it meant to me and that ive been struggling to find motivation to keep up with it and this would make a world of differece and fuel me.

      my hands are actually vibrating with how much adrenaline is running through me im so frakin happy right now and i cant seem to stop typing!!!BWAAA!!!
      i went to bed at 7:23 and woke up at 8:40
      and im still kinda tired so i think im going to go back to bed, maybe fez is waiting for me at a disco roller rink, who knows. HAHAHAHA XD my dream guide rocks.
      knows that i think about it. fez makes perfect sense! bahahaha

    6. First LD

      by , 08-07-2012 at 12:49 PM
      Well just a little entry to tell you about my first LD.
      This happened a few nights ago btw
      Long story short, I looked at my cocker spaniel (Abby) and realised her colouring looked like a dalmatian instead of her normal black and tan colourings and that made me realise I was dreaming.
      And then I realised I could LD because I was in a dream.
      So the first thing I did was fly (I've always wanted to do this) I looked up and just pushed myself up (Had a position like Iron Man does) and I yelled "faster, faster!" and kept going up.
      Then I came back down and did a handstand.
      Then I imagined a guy as Johnny Depp so one of my "projections" (stole the term from inception hehe) crouched down and stood up and was Johnny Depp. I ran over to him and jumped on him and starting making out with him
      Then I woke up.

    7. Flying Through A Casino

      by , 08-07-2012 at 12:17 AM
      Non-Dream Dream Lucid Dream

      Dream 1:

      I am in a very evil place. I am not sure if I belong here as I am kind of on the fence between being good / evil. It looks like an apartment complex being renovated. I have an absolutely amazing stripper all to myself. She has dark hair and is very tall. She tells me that she works directly with the big boss so I can have her always (?!?).

      Dream 2:

      I am at some wedding in a casino where two groups are sharing the same reception area. The bride (a young black woman) comes up to me and says "I'm doing two dances today: one with my dad and one with you." I get up and leave when she turns away because I don't want to dance in front of everyone.

      I find some people after walking away from the wedding and I start teaching them how to fly. The act of flying renders me lucid.
      They ask if you have to flap your arms like wings and I say "it helps at first but it is not necessary." Then I show them that I can do it without flapping my arms. I start losing the dream so I yell "clarity" but it is too late.

      Dream 3:

      I am playing a very strange card game with lots of clubs - I recall having a King and Ace of clubs in one hand. My brother beats everyone with a pair of 8's. MF from work is in the game too. There are tons of strippers / hookers.

      Dream 4:

      I am in high school I think and I'm at a party. I am wearing some fat guys incredibly smelly jacket and I'm making everyone smell it. I think there might have been some drug use in the dream.

    8. Poor Kitty ;_;

      by , 08-06-2012 at 11:27 PM (Dimension X)
      Ok so i was in my elementary school's...um... recess area, i guess, and i remember that there was like a random kitten. and it was like running around and stuff, and i was trying to catch it. Then one of these mean kids picks up the kitten and like... drop kicks it ;_; ...then a few other kids are like throwing it around so next thing i know, its on the ground away from all the kids, and it looks like its dead.......... but its not.... i look closer, trying to imagine it breathing, and it works. i start to see its chest expand and contract a little. so i pick it up, and i go to take it inside the school. to do that, i have to walk past all the kids. And i remember as i'm walking past, i said something like "Try to hurt this kitten again, and I'll rip off your head and stuff it down a f*ckin toilet!" ...so i walked in the school, and went to the office to ask if they had a box i could put the kitten in to take home with me. The kitten was small, and had a mixture of black and grey colors on its fur. I don't remember what happened after that.

    9. Ninth Lucid Dream - The Abandoned Warehouse

      by , 08-06-2012 at 07:18 PM
      Awareness - 9 / 10
      Control - 9 / 10

      The dream started out in this abandoned warehouse area. I have to admit it was pretty creepy, but I had a flashlight. As i was exploring this location, the alarm went off, waking me up. I was able to recall the dream very easily and went right back to sleep. I was able to successfully re-enter this dream and have a WILD!!

      Now lucid in the dream, I continued exploring. Then it got kind of wierd because although I was still inside this warehouse, I was also out in this huge open field. It was like a bunch of grassy hills and stuff, just all inside this dark old warehouse. I didn't really mind though and decided to work on my dream goals. I forgot to stabalize the dream however, so it was all a little shaky during 'testing'. First, I decided to accomplish my dream goals, I would need to work on more control, so, the first thing I did was change my flashlight into a screwdriver, because there was this old door that I needed to get through. I went through it and changed the screw driver back into a flashlight.

      At this point I was getting anxious to work on my dream goals so I couldn't help myself and decided to do that. Anyways, I came up to this big hill and decided this was the place. I said "As soon as I go around this hill, the person I want to meet will be waiting for me on the other side." Well, it kind of worked... I went around the hill and sure enough someone WAS there, but it wasn't who I had in mind!! It was this little robot thing and then I just went over and kicked it. Frustrated with myself for getting too anxious and not stabalizing the dream first, I went back and just sat on the hill. I thought that maybe if I tried again but really focused on what they looked like and such, maybe it would be successful this time. When I went to do this however, I woke up.

      Well, another successful WILD! However, now I just need to work on some personal control and not let myself get so anxious. Just need to stabalize the dream first, master control of the dream, THEN meet them...
      Oh well, it's getting better every night!!

    10. Fly-by Lucidity gets Pretty Frustrating

      by , 08-06-2012 at 04:45 PM
      Every morning I've woken up and I have written down so...many....pages.... But no matter what I do, when I have lucidity, I lose it just as fast as I gained it, or I'm aware but I can't do anything significant. This doesn't discourage me from repeatedly trying again and again and again until I get it. But it's a little frustrating to know that I have only so much knowledge of what it feels like to be lucid. My basic idea (and when I mean basic, I mean that I really can't confirm it but it would seem about right) is that I suddenly feel like I just woke up, and I went back into the dream or I'm thinking about the dream as if I was awake. There has to be a way to get myself to mount firmly before I lose that control. Because I lose it as soon as I see it. How do I know that the feeling is lucidity? Well I checked back to my first experience (which was the most vivid of them all) and I realized that after seeing that I was in fact dreaming, and then getting my arse knocked around in that tail spin because I got too exited, that same feeling followed, and it was there with me while I was in my spinny, blurry, limbo. then I realized that I've had this same feeling many many many times before especially when I'm in a tail spin. So my question is, how the heck do I mount myself in the dream before I lose the control? I don't think the "I'm an anchor" thing works. Anyone have any suggestions?

      I look down and start to fiddle with a electrical box thinking if I shox my self the feeling might stabilize the dream but I worry if im not dreaming this will kill me but I keep telling my self this has too be a dream beacuse it dosent make sense how I got here and just appearing outside the helecopter dos not make sense

    12. Trying To Attain My Lucid Goal

      by , 08-06-2012 at 03:15 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      I fell asleep and found myself in a mix between my current house and one I lived in briefly as a child. It was daytime outside according to the lighting in the room. I think I was in my room, but it looked different. I immediately knew I was dreaming. I examined my hands so I wouldn't get too excited and wake up. I then remembered my most recent lucid goal: To confront JP about being in so many of my dreams. I started to call out his name, trying to get him to appear, but he didn't. I kept looking at my hands to keep the dream from fading.

      I kept losing the dream and then going back into it (it's been awhile since I've been lucid), but I regained lucidity each time this happened, and I would remember my goal as well. Every time I'd "wake up" somewhere else in the house, and I'd start to call JP.

      I finally ended up somewhere that didn't look like the house anymore, but I think it was still supposed to be. I was standing in front of some stairs, and I called on JP. A man in a suit then appeared on the stairs, but he didn't look like JP; his skin was a bit darker, and he looked older. He didn't say a word and kept a strange, small smile on his face as he walked up the stairs.

      Regardless of his strange looks, I treated him as if he were JP. I forcefully asked him something along the lines of "what are you doing here?" or "why are you in so many of my dreams?", but he kept on just walking up the stairs with his little smile, staying silent the whole time. Things then started to get blurry, and I tried to examine my hands to keep the dream, but I, again, lost it.

      I then "woke up" somewhere else, I'm not sure where, but wherever I was, I decided to try to fly since its been so long. I took off into a blue sky dotted with clouds. Below me was green grass and trees with lush, green leaves. At a certain height I felt a little resistance, but that's normal for my flying dreams; I was glad to even be flying at all since I haven't had many LDs lately.

      As I was flying, I passed by some kind of tiny flowers, and I reached out to touch them.


      That's all I remember from that one, though I know there was a bit more to it than what I can recall.

      ~

      I was in my bedroom, but, of course, it looked different than my actual bedroom. I was talking to someone on the phone, or myself, I'm not sure, but I was worried that the sound would carry through this weird window in my wall that went into the hallway, and my mom would hear my conversation. Later on, she said she didn't hear me, but I knew for a fact that the sound carried extremely well into the hall; I even heard my own voice coming from my room when I was out there.

    13. Flying isn't always fun

      by , 08-06-2012 at 08:03 AM (Dimension X)
      This requires a lot of explaining. So in other words, a lot of reading, but please bear with me ._.

      Ok so about 6 months ago, I lived in a nice house... Everything was normal. Then, out of nowhere I had this one dream where it felt like I was awake. But what happened was, I was laying down with my eyes closed... And I could feel my bed float off the ground a few feet, and rotate 360 degrees before slowly falling back to the ground again. ...It didn't stop there. A few days later, I had another one of these dreams, except it was a bit more intense. Instead of slowly floating, this time my bed floated a bit faster, right up to the ceiling of my room. My eyes were open and I saw the ceiling like 20 inches away from my head. Then it dropped quite fast onto the floor. I started to have these dreams quite often, and they kept getting more and more intense with each one. Eventually I was at the point where I would have a dream like this and my bed would either skyrocket past my ceiling and into pitch black darkness, or carefully aim itself and dive into the floor at breakneck speed. It felt like I was on a roller coaster, except way faster. After about a month or so, I actually started to discover on my own that I could kind of control where my bed was going using my mind. Although it didn't work as often as I had hoped, it still helped. Then I had this one dream... This one specific dream that really freaked me out.
      My bed floated horizontally in this dream. All I saw was darkness, but I could feel it moving. And then my bed floated by a white fireplace. I didn't have a fireplace in that room. But the thing that really freaks me out about that is, there's a chimney right outside my room, as part of the house... There WAS a fireplace in my bedroom... 200 years ago.
      The fireplace that I saw was white, and there was a small fire in it, and it was brighter than it should have been for such a small fire. Yet, the light didn't go anywhere else. The light itself only surrounded the fireplace.
      Eventually these dreams started to happen less often. Then I had to move out of that house. I left my old bed there because I already had a new one ready for the new house, the one I'm living in now. After I moved here, those dreams stopped ENTIRELY. I think those were lucid dreams, though. Because I felt awake in all of them. Even though these events happened not that long ago, at the time, I knew what a lucid dream was, but... I don't know... I have no idea why I didn't take control. For some reason, now, it's harder for me to fully LD... Anyway, thanks for taking your time to read this, it was pretty weird.

      Kept having dreams with lots of clues that I was dreaming - back in school, living in a dorm, etc. The dorm was like a giant basement/loft with 4 showers. Roommates were old school mates. Jeremy was working very hard to organize the place. It was an amazing place. I would awake and wonder why I couldn't recognize the dream clues. Got up for a little bit, fed cats, and went back to bed with intention. As soon as I hit the dream world I did a reality check (looked at my hands) and bingo! Dreaming! Flying in the night sky and felt so free. The moon kept getting larger so I wanted to slow down and come back down to earth. I'm still afraid of the moon. I start to conjure JC. I land in an old theatre and one of the tech guys says he is out by the purple loading dock. I run down the stairs toward the loading dock and there he is standing in a doorway. He smiles and walks over to me. He looks 10 years younger. We hug and I just look at him. He comes to help with setting up the basement/loft/dorm. Then I think there was a wedding of some sort - no one I know of.

      I've gotten good at getting JC to show up (took about a year). I need to come up with some intentions once he gets here (and stick to them).

    15. Meeting My Double -Sunday - 2012-08-06

      by , 08-06-2012 at 07:28 AM (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 told myself I would go to bed at a normal time, but I tried to figure out a way to upload and play FLAC files on my Iphone so I could listen to the Gateway Experience on high quality sound. I did find my solution but I went to bed very late, 01:15.
      I started to listen to the "Energy Bar Tool" Exercise. I did the normal Focus 10 procedure and was then told to imagine myself holding a white light-saber looking bar and Monroe instructed me to change the color of it to, green, orange, yellow, blue and red. When he told me to try it's pulsing energy through visualization I didn't understand what he meant, but then he said "No imagine it bright white again, and imagine it go on and off over and over again". As I did this my whole body started to pulsating almost in synchronization with every clear picture I had of it. "On" My left leg started to twitch and I thought it had gone off!" "Off" I am back in the normal state again.. "On" My right leg twitched! Then in the end he told me to come back to physical consciousness (the C-1) by moving my right hand and thinking of the number one. I did and the exercise was ended, my awareness felt weird, I had my eyes closed and it felt like my awareness had shrink and that my body was 5 times bigger. Not as special as it sounds, but it felt weird. Then I fell asleep...

      [COLOR="royalblue"]I did end up chaining the dream to a lucid dream, so I have forgot some details of the first dream, but I was an American time traveling but ending up in Sweden at some farmers house. I met some guy about my age and he guided me around the area. I said that I had been told that the Swedish girls have the most beautiful voice and that I would like to meet one lol :D And he said sure there are tons of girls trying to sell American books in the town.
      When I got there I saw my old friend Elna (although not aware that I knew her at the time) and when she spoke I almost melted. :panic: It was such a beautiful voice, and then I told her that I had already read that book because I was from the states (In that dream). And she couldn't believe her ears, I was like a celebrity to her. Then I hang out with her and her friends accompanied with the other guy and I remember having a conversation about drugs and the only drug they knew was alcohol lol. And I thought to myself "Oboy if they knew how freaky LSD was they would go nuts haha.".
      ( I DON'T DO DRUGS! I MEANT THE EXPLANATION OF LSD) :)
      But I didn't tell them about it, it would be too much for them. Then we hear some roaring in the sky and we look up and see a white old airplane, a white airplane with a propeller at the front. They looked with amazement and I was like meh...
      Then we see a big black stealth aircraft and I think to myself "Wait a minute those aircraft doesn't exist now?!" and I start to scream UFO! The other look up and say "Woooow". In the group I found my old friend Astrit. We talk about aircrafts and he asked me if I had seen the documentary "something something" about UFOS? And I thought "Yeah I have, but you can have because it came out in my time". I asked him what year it was and he said "1964" and I thought for some weird reason that that made sense... I also remembering saying "Oh then there is going to be a UFO invasion in Washington the 29 July!" Although this actually happened 1952 and it wasn't an invasion, but and UFO incident, but I have no idea of how I could remember the exact date. The others went into a restaurant I think it was Burger King, but that didn't make sense, although nothing made sense in this dream anymore... :roll:

      I told Astrit that I needed to go to the bathroom and he said "I'll go with you I have to go too." When I started to pee I thought to myself for some reason "Oh what if I do it for real? Oh right it usually never happens so..." But then I woke up and I had my eyes closed and I wanted to chain the dream. I heard my dad snore in the other room, but I continued to focus on the black space behind my eyelids and suddenly I was back where I had left but lucid! [/COLOR]
      [COLOR="blue"]Although it felt different, everything was quiet not a sound was made. I looked at my friend Astrit then he just disappeared! I knew it was a dream so I didn't bother, it was kind of dark in there now but I put a sweater in front of my eyes and focused to stay in the dream. I looked myself in the mirror and it was blurry so I couldn't see myself clearly.
      Then I woke up again, still had my eyes closed and I tried to get back again somehow. Suddenly I see my hands and I am back where I had left once again. It was very vivid now although still a little blurry vision, so I started to spin and it did clear up a bit. I thought to myself "Ok this is a vivid as I can get it in a start without glancing at objects, so this is how the guy in the Castaneda book perceived the dream at first. Ok so now all I got to do is to look at my hands and then at some new object to get a surge of energy." But I never looked back at my hands again, because something else caught my attention. :( I saw a body laying on the white floor, and when I approached it I saw who it was. IT WAS ME! :shock:
      I thought to myself that it couldn't be the real me since I am in my bed but I was still curious to see what would happen if I touched myself at the left arm. But as I did the body synchronized it's movement with mine but in a laying position.
      I looked at my head and it looked kind of freaky, I think I could see a bone structure at the back of my head, or something white reminding me of bones anyway. I was a little scared that the eyes of that double would suddenly open it's eyes like in a horror movie. As I thought that the double got up and looked at me with a angry look and then took a defending fighting position. It looked really freaky :huh2: but then I woke up.

      I tried to chain the dream again, but I heard the high pitch ringing in my head that normally let's me know that I wont be able to WILD, but I still tried but as expected I couldn't return. The time was now 07:31

      This was a fun experience, but next time I should focus on my objective - To look at my hands then on a dream object and then back at my hands again. Over and over and with different dream objects. :roll: [/COLOR]
