lucid

I am running down the hallway of a jail with two others. We are attempting to break out. We seem to be running away from the exit hiding behind what looks like carts on an aeroplane whenever a guard turns around. As I run to the next cart, I see a guard; I think he also sees me. I realise I’m caught. I tell the other guys he saw me. They do not listen to me. I run towards the entrance for a reason I don’t know. I see the guards, but they have guns. There are about 20-30 guards. I get this nightmarish feeling of not wanting to be there. Suddenly I realise: I’M DREAMING! I’m standing in front of the jail entrance and the nose plug test, it works. It feels very strange to be able to breathe with your nose plugged. But as I look up, a female guard tries to tackle me to the ground. Because I’m lucid, I punch and try to emit fire. But I’m not very lucid so nothing happens but she gets knocked out. I run out of the jail as fast as I can. The guards start firing at me. I jump with the intent to fly. It works, but I only hover 1-2 metres off the ground and my flying is very turbulent. I’m going at about the speed of almost a freight train. But it is not fast enough, I feel the police is following me. I remember the superman technique. I put my arms out in front of me and will myself to fly faster. It works, though I only increase in speed by a bit. After flying for 2-3 minutes, I stop. I see a family of five, we don’t interact. I hear a car engine; I turn to see a black car. A person who looks like the Men in Black gets out of the car. I assume he is a policeman. So I give myself up and I lie on the ground. I lose lucidity. My consciousness changes from being the escapee to a man. The police gives me two guns and tells me to deal with the criminal.

Fragment #1: I false awaken and write down my lucid dream.
Fragment #2:
I am carrying a body part, I am with my mum. I throw it in the bin.Fragment #3: I'm talking to someone about India and the Rainshadow Effect.
Fragment #4: I am standing in an 1800s toilet looking at a man sitting. I shout "NO! I won't let you use a rundown toilet!" Then a rich man who looks familiar appears and talks.

I walked outside my house into my backyard, and saw my sister and her friends. I walked down the stairs, and near the trees i saw some twins. I walked over to them, and i noticed that the girl was in my grade at school and didn't know my sister. She also didn't have a twin. I did a quick RC and became conscious. Immediately after, I started waking up, so I spun around a few times to stay in the dream. When I stopped spinning I was on top of my roof, so I figured I would jump off and see if it hurt. I landed and didn't feel a thing. Soon after that I lost consiousness and woke up.

I had a lucid dreaming. I was in my home and I knew that I'm dreaming at first (It was made by WILD technique).
At first I was looking at TV set and then turn around. I felt that my dream is collapsing and then immediately I looked at my hand. at first when I looked at my hand, It was invisible. after about 2 second My hand seen. After that I walk in home, I woke up.
When I woke up something was very interesting and weird. I felt Tingling in my Palms!

this was years ago; i think 2005-ish. I was in my early twenties. I had a string of lucid dreams that were not induced... they just sort of happened. This one was the first and most memorable.

I was in Boston walking past the mouth of the big tunnel. Suddenly a coach bus went by going impossibly fast, careening between the lanes until it lost control and flipped over. When it entered the tunnel- sideways and on its roof- it took out dozens of cars and people (who for some odd reason were standing in the tunnel).

i went into the tunnel to look at the damage, and i saw a whole bunch of people flattened out on the road like pancakes... there was no blood or gore, they were just flattened into ten foot circles. It was then that i realized i was dreaming, and as i looked at them i began to laugh hysterically.... which , of course, woke me up.

Sucked into the space from behind my eyelids. [First succesful WILD]
I feel like I'm shot like a meteor into this body, looking around I noticed a jungle gym dome in the middle of so sawdust ( I remember this as my school's playground in first grade)
It's dark. and I'm somewhat lucid, knowing it is a dream but not thinking about it.
My first action , I immediately jump and start flying.
Surprised I feel weightless!

Flying around like a maniac, I almost fly into a tower. I put my hands out like I'm afraid it's going to hurt but, it's just a little bit of pressure. I start losing control and hit into the ground, still scared it's going to hurt, but it's also just a bit of pressure.
after awhile I start losing control and next thing I know I'm on a giant bed with my buddy Trey and we each have a girl hanging with us.
were talking about who knows what.

again I lose control and all of a sudden I'm on the side walk holding onto this cute animal I'm unable to remember, and I'm drunk, they're all these little dogs jumping at me trying to bite at this animal in my arms, and I'm protecting it.
But, I loose balance and fall over and hold the animal in between my arms still protecting it.

I then totally loose control and have a false awakening. waking in a hammock , going back to the bed I was at with my friend trea but instead it's now my buddy piper and two other guys.
were drinking some wine out of crystal wine glasses, and one of the guys puts his foot and hooks my glass spilling it everywhere on the bed. I freak out and decide to leave, as I get off the bed mad as hell. I wake up. with an adrenaline rush of anger and surprised enthusiasm.

Opening Statements
HALLELUJAH!!! HALLELUJAH!!! HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH!!!
Huzzah!!! I've made serious headway, and i'm now capable of having lucid dreams!

Entry
I was in my neighboors backyard, but i was roughly 8 to 10 years old. I suddenly seemed to be on fire, even though there weren't any flames, so I rolled around on the ground to put it out. When I finally got up, I was back to my original age, and there was cotten and ash spewed all over where I rolled. My mom was now there, and she said I did a good job. I thanked her, but then, I started thinking, "Wait a second... I know how these dreams play out!" and then, I was lucid. I stopped myself from getting excited, looked at my hands and said: "Stabalize Lucidity!", I then noticed my mom was talking about something. I tried numerous times to get her attention, and after about six times she finally stopped talking. "Mom, this is a dream!" I exclaimed. She gasped excitedly and asked what the first thing we should do was. I told her how to stabalize the dream, then thought about other methods of stabalization. That was a big mistake, for as soon as I did that I started to lose grasp on te dream. I was about to use a method for getting it back but I had already woken up.

Ending Comments
Despite the rather dissapointing awakening, this was my first actual lucid, so I'm alright with that. Because I've actually had a lucid now, it's time to set up some goals, so be ready to see them next entry, cheers!

New Home *LUCID* DILD


First I am at a casino. I see that people are playing and thier machine are hitting all over. Like big. several thousand dollar wins. I think I should play. Can't find atm. So I do to a different casino just to use atm. Play once lose then leave.

Some how I find myself in bed with my wife. It is a day we are both off and just being slow to wake up. We are in a studio appartement. And the front door is a sliding glass patio door. It is at the head of our bed.

My dad knocks. I open the door enough to let him in. She says something.. he needs something. I wave him on tell him to get it. He leaves. I get comfy by snuggling with my wife. He comes back. I let him in. He says something about "college kids would love to have fireworks." I reply just as smart ass. Like "Boom shakalaka" (cant remember now). He leaves. I ask my wife, "Did you hear what I said?" And laugh.

Then this black kid is at the back door. He wants to sell me candy. I notice he has some bite sized candy. It looks like leftover halloween candy. I smirk, thinking he is just selling whatever candy he has. This is no fund raiser.
I say, "OK how much for a small one?"
"Gold!"
"What do you mean?" I don't know what the kid is talking about.
He looks at me, "They are coins. You can buy a whole bunch of groceries."
"Let me see that coin you got in your hand. Dude thats a quarter!" I laugh at him and add, "Come back later. I don't have cash."

He looks disapointed and leaves. I can hear him talking to his dad in the next appartemnet building. I think "oh God. Loud neighbors." Then for some reason I put ice trays in the freezer. That is by the back door.

I wonder out back and see a nice concrete patio. I see a neighbor has a grill and I see a chain where they keep it locked up. But then the grill is gone and I assume they must use it on the other side.
I think, "We need to go get our grill and use it. And OMG we left all that stuff in the shed. We need to go get it before we take the u-haul back." I go back in.

Now I am cuddled on a couch with my wife watching TV. I think how we got here and why. I ask my wife, "What was the price difference between this place and our house?"
She tell me, "Only about $67." "
"Oh not much savings then. Yeah...Hmmm. OK." I think about the house we came from. I remember the wrong house than real life. I feel confused. I catch on and try to think. I remember another wrong house but closer. "No this feels wrong." I have this huge memory gap. Think, "OK where did we come from and why?...This place is so much smaller. We still have to sell the old house. Are we just going to forclose? That's so stupid!"

Now I am starting to get it. I tell her, "So we were better off before."
"Yeah probably." Her head is on my chest and she looks up at me when she says this.
I smile and say, "OK we wont move then."
She sits up. "What do you mean? Its too late."
"I dreamed this last night."
"Or you dreamed this tonight?"
Yeah whatever..." I am this not lucid but I know. I am talking about it like the dream was over but not over. I felt like I was in the dream but had woken up already. I say, "This hasnt happened. This was just a dream."
"Whatever." She doesn't believe me.
I get up. And look around. I look up and see the sky were the ceiling should be. That's when I really get it.
"Yep I am dreaming."
"No we are not." She refuses to see it.
"Yes we are. Look up. Why do you see the sky?"
I prance around to the back of the cough while clapping my hands and singing. "We are dreaming.

♪ ♫ ♬ We are dreaming. We are dreaming. We are... Dreaming. ♪ ♫ ♬

Then I say, "Hey. babe watch this!" I jump off the back of the couch and start to fly away.

AND THEN THE SON-OF-A-BITCH ALARM CLOCK GOES OFF!

It's my dream! (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was with the class on some trip, and the teachers whas making some teambuilding games. The rules where simple, get a little mint from the a table, and give it to the first person in line. (In Denmark we call it stafet, but I doubt it's called that in english. I'll see if i can find the name later.) But here's the twist, you had to keep it in your mouth, and pass it by kissing. I was talking with a girl at the time, so we came a little late to the game. The teachers weren't happy, but we didn't really care.

There were two lines. one with a two hot girls, and one with a REALLY ugly girl, and 1 boy. The girl I was with quickly took the line with the two girls before I could react, and I was stuck with the gross girl, and a fat kid. (I know the girl in real life, but I can't remember if I know the boy.) I looked around for options, and that's when I noticed. The field was changing in size everytime I looked away. And when I got there, there was also a house right by us, but there wasn't anymore. I guessed I was dreaming, and looked at my hands for confirmation.

BAM!, lucid. It was kind of hard doing the first reality check, because my fingers looked pretty much normal, except for one finger bending 90degrees. (Now, I haven't been training lucid dreaming for a month or two, so I'm kind of prowd of remembering doing this, and doing it this fast) I fell down on my knees, and looked at the grass. I felt it, smelt it, and rubbed it. My face was all the way down in the beautiful green grass, and my hands was furiously rubbing away like a 13yr after a family vacation. After I was done "stabalizing" the dream, I got up, and looked at the teachers. They said something along the lines of "Pick a team, you have to play." I told them "NO, I WILL NOT PLAY YOUR FUCKING GAMES". They looked at me with a very unhappy face. "It's my dream, and I'm in control".

This part ^felt amazing. I mean, Yelling at yor teachers that they are a pair of cunts, and telling them you're the one in power now? That's not something you do every day.

I took the one of the hot girls from the line by hand, (Who shall remain nameless) and went on top of the hill. I took my arms around her, and started to kiss her. It actually felt surprisingly real for a LD, and kind of threw my off. The teachers and the rest of the class, was gone from the place where they where playing "stafet", so we went down there and started playing, just us two (which means, alot of kissing). We ended it off with a dream bj, but I was too close to waking up, and the excitement made me lose focus.

At this point I woke up, looked at the clock, and saw that if I concentrated a little, I could do 2 more LD's!. So I laid down in my bed again, and tried focusing on dreaming.

I woke up in one of my cousins house, and rather quickly felt the "dreaming sensation", and did my RC.

Yup, 7 fingers on the right hand, and 3 really short ones on the left hand. (Right here, I should've been clarifying and stabalizing the dream, sadly I forgot. Also, I can't remember much of this dream, probably because of just that.)
Sadly, I can't really remember much of this dream, but only the scenario, and that it involved alot of girls in bikini's. I was just going around, and observing the house. I think it's kind of cool to sometimes just look around in dreams. I mean, all of what you are seeing, feeling and hearing is in your mind, and you are laying in your bed. I also failed at flying at one point, but didn't really bother trying hard anyway.

I woke up again, and saw that I had been dreaming longer than excpected, so I got up instead, and wrote this journal.

Cheers!

[COLOR="#808080"][/COLOR][COLOR="#00008B"]All I can remember is that I was near McDonalds and was trying to remember the TOTM, but couldn't. After that I decided to work on fire magic, I tried to make a stream of fire, but all I could do was a fireball, so I randomly fireballed people...[/COLOR][/INDENT]

I am writing these down for myself, to try and look for patterns in my dream, when they happen, and ultimately help myself achieve an intentional lucid dream. But i'm happy for people to read them.

This one was a very short dream for me. I was sleeping at my girlfriend's house when this happened, and her bed was also the start of the dream.
I looked out of my girlfriends bedroom window onto the roof of the kitchen where there was a helipad for some reason, and Norris (from corrie) was driving it, so i went out to have a look. I got into the helicopter, i can't remember if there was anyone else in there with us. We flew around the home town, although it looked completely different to real life. At one point we started falling out of the sky, but Norris gained control again. Shortly after we started to fall out of the sky again, except this time, while falling i shouted "wait, this is a dream, this is a dream". As i was saying this i started to slow the falling of the helicopter down, but the world seemed to sort of burst and i woke up before even finishing the sentence.

When i woke i was still halfway through saying the word dream and said it in real life. This is the first time i can remember actually realising i was in a dream and that having any effect on it, maybe after all this time i'm getting the hang of it. Now just to practice not waking up as soon as i realise.

[COLOR="royalblue"]Non-Aware (Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="blue"]Partially Aware (Lucid Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="navy"]Fully Aware and Vivid (Astral Projection(OOBE)[/COLOR]

[COLOR="royalblue"]This night I went to bed around 22:15, but I remember that I had really much trouble falling asleep, but I didn't care I just kept daydreaming of something until I finally fell asleep.

I had some dream of me and my friend Axel grabbing bags of money in a different time, I even looked at the coins in detail, the highest number on the coins was 1000 but I can't remember what currency it was, probably not anything known.
We went to my real house and we had some girls with us.

For some reason the Iphone I had on my desk started spotify automatically while we was trying to get to sleep.
So I got up and wondered what was going on. I tried to light my desktop lamp but it didn't worked. It did light up, but it shut off immediately. I thought that I might be dreaming, so I tried to look at my hands, but it was too dark for me to see them, so I went to another light switch, but it didn't worked either. I went to the bathroom and that light did work, so now i could finally look at my hands. I noticed that my middle finger was super short [/COLOR][COLOR="blue"]So I was now aware that I was dreaming. I accidentally thought about my physical body, but I did not wake up.
I looked at my hands again as a starting point item, and then I gazed at three other objects while returning back to my hands: the toilet seat, a locker and the bathroom floor and then back to my hands again. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="royalblue"]Then everything faded black... I tried to look at my hands again, but I wasn't dreaming anymore. I heard my mom doing noises with my physical ears as she prepared to get to work. But I thought to myself
"What ever I am going to chain the dream. Nothing happened... So I went downstairs and it was still dark so I was a little scared. I met my dad in the hall and he said that he had heard me talk in my sleep and then go to the bathroom.
I was like :shock: "You can't have I was lucid dreaming" I said. "Yeah but I heard you say "Yes it's working"".
And I said "But it doesn't make sense, because I was dreaming that and you can possibly have heard that unless...
I looked at my hands [/COLOR] [COLOR="blue"]"LOL! I am still dreaming!".
I looked out the kitchen window and saw that it was snowing a lot. I imagined a red scarf in the bureau and it appeared. So I put it on prepared to get out, but then I heard physical noises again. My dad slammed down the toilet seat... :roll:
I woke up and I looked at my hands and I saw that I was awake. The time was now 06:48.

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

I'm on the second floor of a big office building, and I take the elevator down to the first floor. There are a lot of other people in the elevator with me. I get an odd feeling that something big and important is about to happen in just a few moments.

I exit the elevator and walk out into the ground-floor lobby of the building. It's a large space with lots of glass that lets in sunlight, and there are lots of people walking through the lobby, going in all directions.

Suddenly, a man with some kind of small-to-medium-sized automatic weapon fires a short burst of gunfire into the air, in the middle of the room. Everyone in the lobby panics and tries to take cover, including me. [I know this nightmare was inspired directly by the recent Aurora theater shooting tragedy.] As the gunman continues shooting random people in the room, I hide under a long, low, rectangular wooden table with another young woman, about my own age, with brown hair. She and I whisper to each other about how this isn't very good cover, and how he's going to find us here any moment know. We're right - he does find us there, and threatens us with the firearm. I'm terrified that I'm about to be killed. Fortunately, I realize that I'm dreaming, and that that means I can just fly away. So I do. I fly away from the gunman in a straight line, passing right through the wall of the building without even realizing that I've done so until I'm well outside the building. When I'm some distance away, I look back at the tall office building I just left. I'm far enough away that the gunman is now little more than a dot, still visible through the windows.

[There was more to this dream; I went on to explore the rest of the dream while lucid, but I don't remember any of the specifics.]

****************
Side notes:
*derisive snort* And I call myself an oneironaut! I was having a nightmare, I became lucid, and I just used my dream control abilities to run away from the danger. Next time I go lucid during a nightmare, I will try to remember to stand up to the threat and talk it down.

By the way, I had this dream at a hotel, on Night #1 of my big relocation road trip.

[This is a catchup post. I had this dream on the night of July 18, 2012, but I'm just now getting around to posting it.]

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

I'm in [or outside - not sure] House #1, and I become aware that I'm dreaming. I think, Hey, cool! This would be a great opportunity to go and achieve that goal! So I take off and start flying, keeping very low to the ground [I don't know why] , following the roads that lead from my house to the nearby park. I make a point of concentrating on the dream world around me, to keep myself in the dream. [I think] There's a moment where I briefly become aware of my body lying in bed, but I forcibly drag my awareness back to the dream and manage to stay in it. [It may have been after this next part, I'm not sure.]

Anyway, I turn up the road that leads to the park, and there it is: the metal, chain-link, curved baseball backstop, the one I've been fantasizing about flying to the top of since I was a little girl. I come to the center of the back of it and start flying up, following its curve, but inexplicably sink back down to the ground. I shrug and decide to just climb the thing instead. It works. I'm up at the top in just a couple of seconds. I stand on top of the baseball backstop, surveying the park and feeling very proud of myself for finally getting to the top of my baseball backstop in a lucid dream.

***********
Side notes:
Every time I have a lucid dream, I always start my day in a great mood, with the attitude that today is going to be a great day. On the day after I woke up from this particular dream, I finally received and accepted the job offer I'd spent years waiting and hoping for. Does it mean anything? I'm not willing to say yes, but it's interesting.

LUCID: was looking for a keychain that i lost, found it where i knew i had looked before. I realised it must be a dream and then...can't remember what else happened.

Had a dream today that the world ended. There was a meteorite and a bolt of lightning, a large explosion in the distance and i was one of the few that survivied. I remember people tried to steal my stuff in a lfit so i had to return them by any means, think liam neeson in take.

I am in a house that has poltergeist problems.

The occupants have asked me to`come and banish the demon(s).

They have sectioned off the haunted part of the house with a curtain. I pull the curtain back, and a dark wind blows out from a large empty plain shrine.

I cast a spell and banish the darkness. SUNTULU D'ZATN!

A red and gold footstool flies out of the room and hits me, paralyzing my mouth. I can no longer speak.

I realize I left my Staff of Chaos (which I have IWL) outside the room. I retrieve it. A crazed half-posessed human tries to attack me.

I swing the staff in a small circle, spinning a tooth on the end of a string on the bottom of the staff, and the human backs up.

I struggle to speak, but I have lockjaw.
