lucid

Lucid. Kept waking up in frustration of not being lucid. Finally I went lucid. I was at an Estate Sale with my mother. It was in a camper that somehow transforms into a VW beetle. Anyway, there wasn't much worth taking. Maybe a couple of vinyl records, but they had scratches. Then I see someone I know running away - wearing a different jacket than he was wearing 2 minutes before - so that triggered lucidity. Immediately I took flight and then had a close call with a helicopter. Back to ground. Ask for J. Don't see him anywhere. Suddenly I noticed 2 guys wrestling around on the ground and there he was. He looked up and laughed and said hello. Got up gave me a hug and we had some fun. There were moments where a flash would happen and for a moment he would look differently. Made me nervous but he was close enough.

I am at my mother's house in my sister's old bedroom. I look in her wardrobe mirror and I start dying my hair a darker brown color with hair dye that was sitting on the dresser. As I do this I reach for the hair dye again but accidentally scoop up blonde instead of the brown I was using and coat my hair with it. My hair starts falling out and dissolving, leaving me with a huge bald spot on my head. I start crying because I have to shave my head now. I've been trying to grow my hair out long and this ruined all that hard work.
Out of the corner of my eye I see my sister through the mirror.

"Ashley!" I yell out. "I lost all my hair....I'm so upset!"

I get a sudden burst of lucidity

"Wait a minute...Is this real?" I ask her.

"Yes this is real," she says.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

I don't trust her so I attempt to fly. As soon as the thought hits me I burst from the dream scene into the night sky like a rocket. As I fly I hear this song playing perfectly in the background...

It's been a long time since I have been lucid and I'm ecstatic. I'm flying over a very futuristic looking city. It reminds me of Tokyo - except better. I zip through the skyscrapers and then decide I should descend. I want to focus more on an intellectual pursuit than games.

I land in what appears to be a a courtyard park square. It is very well lit by street lamps and clean. There are benches in the center of the square sidewalk, surrounded by grass, fountains, and cobblestone roads. I look around and notice a young lady walking with a notepad in her arm. She has long, sandy-brown hair tied loosely to one side of her head. It looks like silk. She's also wearing a collared white shirt cuffed at the elbows with tight denim jeans. I find her to be very intelligent-looking and pretty at the same time.

I call out to her, "Jessica!"

She stops as I walk up to her. That was weird....I've never seen her before. I have no clue why I called to her like I knew her. She looks at me.

"Wait," I say,"What is your name?"

"Jessica," she responds.

"How did I know that though?"

"I don't know. You tell me. How did you know?"

"Maybe it's because I'm the dreamer?"

She smiles and nods as if the answer helped her realize something.

"Well...you becoming lucid was not part of what was planned," she tells me. "I'm sorry though I have to get going."

I am about to ask her why but she answers before I can spit it out.

"I'm trying to decipher a word from the book you are reading that you didn't understand," she says with a smile.

Then everything vanishes right before I have the chance to ask her what word it was. I've just started reading a new book series. It's funny how dreams can surprise you.


UPDATE 1/14/13: I recently visited downtown and came across a square courtyard that looked just like the one in this dream. I had never been here before and thought it was pretty cool that I found a place that so closely resembled the dreamscape I had. Of course Im sure there are thousands of places that look similar to this - it still made me do a double take.

Date: 02/07/2012
Place: Friend's bed
Time of getting into bed: 1.48am

Dream 1 - lucid at the end - 3.35am

I am laying in the bed I fell asleep in. My partner is laying next to me, he gets up, and does not open his eyes, but tries to get out of bed sleepily. I ask him what he is doing, and he claims he is getting up to go and get changed. I think he is sleepwalking so I tell him to get back into bed, he grabs me, and I kiss him on the lips. He doesn't respond, which I think is strange, and I tell him he is dreaming, but he gets a little annoyed. I now realise I am dreaming. I decide to wake myself up, because I feel uncomfortable in this dream, and feel like my dream partner is getting angry. I wake up and am slightly annoyed I woke myself up when I could have made use of being lucid.

Dream 2 - lucid at the end - 5.19am

I am with my partner, and we are going to go and take a shower. We drive along a dirt track road, it is muddy with ditches either side. It seems to be located in the middle of a field. We get to the end, and there is a small building, like a shed, which has a shower inside it. N gets in the shower, he has a red towel round his waist. I wait in the car, as I do, I look to my left (I am in the passenger seat) and notice a playground in the distance. It looks old and abandoned, and there are a group of intimidating youths hanging around, possibly drinking. There are 2 girls who are also there, just passing by. One of them is wearing nothing but a pink towel, and I know she has just had a shower and is making her way home. The youths harass them, and lift up her towel. I don't move from the car, because I don't want them to see me. I lock the door, and the youths make their way over. They surround the car, but only one approaches close, he lifts up the window wiper and lets it go. I open my door slightly, so I can shout out 'What do you want?' He tells me to open the door so he can get in, I say no. I then shut the door and lock it, before he tries to get in. I then stare at the shower waiting for N to return, hoping he will be fast. The youth knocks again and again, but I ignore him. Finally N comes out the shower, and does not realise what is going on. I jump into the drivers seat (which is on the wrong side of the car) and unlock the car so he can get in, I shout to him to hurry up. The youth gets his hand inside my door, but I bite hard on his arm, drawing blood. I clearly remember the feel of his flesh on my teeth. Then as N gets in I lock the doors, and drive away fast, taking care not to drive down the ditch as we flee. I suddenly become lucid, I have no idea how I do this but suddenly I know I am dreaming, and I am watching the car from above, like a bird in the sky. There are a few seconds of noise in my ears, while I watch the car drive away safely, then I wake up.

Dream 3 - non lucid - 7.10am

I am me, but I am a super fast runner, and with my family. We are in a place which is a bit like a theme park, and I run at super speed everywhere.There is a themed area called 'Breakfast of Champions' which features some statues and objects. We go to a house, inside this house, we get stuck, a bit like in a deflated bouncy castle. I have to use my super speed to run 'at' or 'up' the walls, to free us and get us back to being on our feet. I remember the room is brown. Someone gave me some weed to slow me down, and I sit and watch a TV show. The program is about a hospital in Stamford, where they carry out surgical proceedures for enhancing beauty, such as breast enlargement etc. There is a female narrator, and some famous clients having plastic surgery, including Kelly Osbourne. They have a visit from a famous singer (female, late 40's) although I know she is famous I don't know who she is. The narrator makes a point of saying the singer has NOT had plastic surgery, and the singer sings to the clients as they are recovering.

Dream 4 - non lucid -9.13am

I am at my sister's house, and I hear her boyfriend getting mad at her, then beating her up rather badly, saying 'You make me do this.' While she cries in pain, I jump up to see, but do not help her, although I am very upset. After he leaves I take her to one side and tell her to leave him, that she can come and live with me and I'll look after her. She is sad and crying.

Later on in the same dream, I am rolling a joint with L, when I find out (via Facebook maybe?) that R has got a job that he was after, and tried hard to get. We celebrate, and I buy R a pencil, and a pencil sharpener as gifts to say well done. S wants to go to the pub, but my partner doesn't want to as he is too tired.

Dream 5 - non lucid

My mum takes me on a ride, where you climb into a small room, and someone shuts the door behind you. (a bit like a ferris wheel, but bigger, and more solid, like rooms instead of cages.) The ride takes you really high, into outer space, and you can see the whole of the universe. I don't like it at all, I don't feel safe and I complain to my mum. When we get back down, my mum gets off the ride, but leaves me on with a man I don't know. The man is drunk. I try to get off the ride, but my exit is blocked by a man drinking in a pub, and chatting to his mates, and he has 3 pints of cider on a table next to him. I do a flying kick and smash the glasses off the table, so I can escape the ride. This is caught on film, and everyone stares, some people are impressed.

Dream 6 - non lucid 11.15am


I forgot the beginning of this dream, because I took a while to wake up properly and get to my DJ. It was a matter of seconds, but the dream kept slipping from my memory.

I have made my dad a CD of music, mostly Nirvana and the White Stripes. At first he is unsure but he soon gets into it and appreciates it. I found some of Kurt Cobain's old clothes, which are like animal skins, sort of like what cavemen would wear. It includes a fur hat, with ears. I put them on, and as I look in the morror, I have long, curly ginger hair, which is all knotted. I try to pull the knots apart but it rips my hair.

I go to work like this, and work is in a dark, cluttered place with lots of people. My boss is an older woman who is angry and strict. A friend (not from RL) works with me, they are a bit of a walkover but I am not. Our job involves fitting a knife, fork and spoon into the corresponding slots. My friend has no knife, and is worried about what the boss will do when she finds out. I reassure them, and we make plans for when we get out of work.


***NOTEWORTHY***
N has never sleepwalked
I can't drive in RL, but it was N's car I was driving in the dream
Someone was smoking weed in the same room before I went to bed, and I did help them roll, but didn't smoke any.
I was telling someone to read 'Breakfast of Champions' before I went to bed
My sisters boyfriend often argues with my sister, but has never hit her
R was moaning about how he should get a new job a few days ago
People were drinking cider in the same room before I went to bed
I often give my dad music, and recently saw a live gig with him.
In real life I have shortish, black hair.

I found this beautiful dream in Korean.... So I'm translating this right here ^_^

The air was crispy clear,
I was flying sky high like a free bird.
Floating with fluffy clouds,
A blue light shot from the ground.

A pub with a cowboy atmosphere,
I looked around to see an old man and a devil;
Pointy ears and pointy teeth.

They were casually talking and drinking,
Like old friends.

I had a sudden feeling that
They might solve a question I longed to figure.

I made my mind and approached to a devil.
The devil stared at me; a passionate red light embracing me.
The devil opened his mouth and spoke;

“Do not try to find meaning in your life.
Meaning generates infinite riddles with no answers.
You have a heart; do what you ‘feel’ like.
That is a sole purpose, a duty in your life.”

It is the devil’s advice,
Unreasonable offence engulfed the wisdom.
I talked to the old man, watching;
The old man stared at me; a knowledgeable purple light embracing me.
The old man opened his mouth and spoke;

“What are you worrying about?
Act as you feel like,
Do not worry about the result ahead.
Reflect once you get there.
You are the one who perceive with action.”

I take a memo of their wisdom,
An answer might have stayed within my deep conscious.
It was a good dream.


Comment:
Dreams reflect our subconscious; results of the same dream can be completely deferred by situation and a person. It needs intuition and a conscious trust to interpret them.
Flying the sky is the new start with new vision. The blue light shot from the ground forced ‘me’ to face the reality; the pub.
The old man and the devil talking is a coexistence of emotion and wisdom.
The old man is wisdom and intelligence, a devil is a repulsive resistance against reality.
The red light is passion. The devil’s talk is not a belief or a notion, but chants for exposing an emotion, a life and a red passion. The purple light is wisdom, urging ‘me’ to focus on the action more than a mere thought.

I still clearly remember a nightmare
I had at the age of seven.

A dusty basement surrounded with gray walls.
A very old wooden chair; making a creaking sound,
Stood alone in the middle of a barren room.

There was a little bar at a ceiling,
Showing a handful of light,
Strangely lighting the raggedy old chair
Like a spot light.

I was at the corner of the dark room, crouching.
Watching the whole scene without motion.

A gust of dry wind gave me goose bumps.
I felt loneliness, sadness
In a queerly jailed like space.

I was… … crying.


The dream was not scary, but my mother told me I was shouting…
I stated the dream as a nightmare for tears. But it still makes me wonder…
Why did I cry?

I was on a porch in town I realized I was dreaming then I did a RC a bull got out of the pen across the street I wanted to shoot it with energy from my hands but I couldn’t then I woke up

I'm at this church and there's this lich up there saying some cazy incantation.

(quick edit I had a dream about working at the old hospital and meeting up with someone I knew before this dream).

I have no idea what this skeleton guy in purple and gold is talking about but I head up front to kill him. One of his guards swing a long spiked mace at me, and I grabbed it and took out the guard with it. I hit the lich with it, and he shrugged it off and said some garbage about how he was too powerful to be destroyed. Then I thought about love, and focused that energy into the next swing....totally destroyed him. I broke the mase in a way that it became a four section staff and went to work on the rest of the guards and woke up.

Hotel

I'm at a hotel and I think I'm about to change clothes and go out, but I end up spilling everything into the toilet. People show up and I hear that's it's J I lock the door and then wait a second and he comes in. Magically, everything is cleaned up. I started watching a show about how some woman died, and her daughter (who looked exactly like her) didn't want to go to the funeral because it made her think of her own death.

I'm walking with that girl now and I get her a drink and myself a coffee (the drink had a really wierd name to it and it came in a green bottle, and I never drink coffee). It didn't have a straw, so I went into the store right next door and swiped one while telling the owner.

I'm in some cave (same one from a dream today that I didn't write down) and some grey guy gives me a kill request. It's some lich who's at the end of the cave. I head down there while dispatching theses shadowy fools in black cloaks and when I turn around I see the guy I need to kill, but its the gray guy. He quickly transforms back to the gray guy so I don't fuck him up. I'm confused, and partially lucid at this point when the grey guy starts explaining things.

He starts talking about rules of the Dreamworld and how nothing around me is what it seems. The woman who died showed up along with her daughter. They were disguised as well. He said he needed test me to see if I was worthy, and went on explaining the differences between the real world and the dreamworld. Everything faded and I wished I could go back to sleep

I wake up early for some reason. I feel pretty awake. BUt I dont see any point in getting out of bed. Its still dark out and everyone's asleep. I am about to go back to sleep when I realize this would be a great time for a WILD. I also want to see if listening to binaural beats would help any. So I get out my iPod and start listening to one that should help me relax. The headphones were uncomfortable so i took the one in my right ear out and rolled onto my rights side. Now the headphones weren't digging into me. After what FELT a long time I finally got relaxed. Deeply relaxed. For some odd reason I imagined myself walking around a fixed point. After a few rounds I was very close to my body falling asleep. I felt a few subtle vibrations. But those didn't last very long. Then i snapped out of that deep state where whatever you imagined you could feel. Which was the case with the circles I was walking in. I could FEEl myself walking. It was like a partial dream state.

I guess I fell asleep at this point because I woke up remembering a dream about dogs.. I did manage to keep still and keep my eyes closed. The small dream I had was interesting. It started with me watching an old film that revolved around small dogs. Then I was at the nady walking towards the door when a small dog came through it. The dog was cute I petted him. Oh sick just remembered another dream! Anyways I walked through the door with the dog and met the dogs owner who was slouched in a couch. He seem ill and sickly but nice. Thats all there was to the dream.

Now I lay in bed trying to decide whether or not I should just get up and write down the dog dream. I decided no, I'll try to WILD. I went over the dream a bunch of times so I wouldn't forget it. Again, once I was deeply relaxed I did the thing where I walked around aa fixed point. As I did that I started to visualize myself walking. Then I could see asphalt form around me, and the point I was walking around was a sewer cap. I visuals kept getting stronger and more clear. Then I felt them vibrations. As I walked in circles I rubbed my fingers together to further stabilize the forming dream. This continued until I was in a full-on dream.

Like the last 4 lucid dreams I had, this one took place in a suburban neighborhood. Specifically the one I'm in now. I walked past some cars and felt them while I thought of what to do. Instantly i remembered the advanced task of the month. I was looking forward to my date. But I wasnt so sure where I was going to find her/it. I decided I would fly into space. I wasnt so sure what I would do once I got there. i guess I was hoping I would get lucky. I walked down a sloped road. I noticed there was a fair amount of people around. I thought, maybe they can help me. I shouted to them "HEY! LISTEN UP". I then yelled out my plan. They all ignored me. I was now nearing a cul de sac. In it I saw Mostafa. Excited I ran to him.
"MOSTAFA! DUDE!"
"ROMMMMMMAAAAYY!"
"HEY MAN! Listen- " I told him my plan and he gladly agreed to help.

We walked to the end of the cul de sac. I saw a trash can tied to a light pole and wondered if I could use it a spaceship or something. I looked out to the scenery around me.
"CLARITY" I yelled. Everything got super vivid and crisp.
"COLOR!" When I yelled "color" everything became super saturated.

"WHOA! Mostafa check this out! This is so cool"

I started to wonder if Mostafa was a DC or if he was his actual self. Maybe we were having a shared dream. Mostafa has natural LD abilities. He's got mad LDing skills like no one else. So I figured it could be possible considering it was him.
"Are you dreaming?" I ask him.
No Answer.
Typical DC

I follow him up this hill (we're off the street now) to this cement bunker thing. He just stands there on top of the structure doing nothing. I ask him twice more "Are you dreaming?"
He asks me "Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Its just that-" I was about to explain the whole possibility of a shared dream but I decided there was no point.

I leave Mostafa and walk back into the street and decide to try flying into space and see what happens from there. I wanted to avoid simply flying be cause I haven't really had any luck with that yet.Which is why I wanted to see what help the DCs might have for me. I tried several times to fly by just jumping into the air intending to take flight. Fail. I tried the same thing but with a running start. Also failed. I kept trying for some time until the dream ended.

Or at least that part of the dream. All of a sudden I was in a locker room. I was still lucid. But not Lucid enough to notice this sudden change in location. Maybe there was a smooth transition and I just cant remember it.

All I did there was wander around the locker room doing nothing what so ever. I saw a bunch of guys with longboards and thought maybe they were some sort of team. By then I had lot my lucidity.

BDSM in the Conference Room Part 1 (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

First of all, HELL YES I'm lucid for once, and decent recall too! I'm really really really really really reallllllllllllly pissed at the end though.

I get out of bed, and the house I'm inside of is completely different than in waking life. I believe I'm reading something on the computer. There's a DV member who posted a dream journal entry, but I'm not too sure who it was, just knew it was a male.

It seemed English wasn't his first language, because the flow and syntax was way off. A female commenter wants the person who made the DJ to take out a few things, and the guy basically responds back saying he can't.

He offers to give the lady a different version than what he types. I get off the laptop, and do a reality check.

I can breathe through, and I do this several times to make sure, and I really am dreaming. I stay still for a while, start looking around, and then I rubbed my hands together.

I rubbed them vigorously, and continued to rub the top of my body a little just to get in some tactile sensations. I had some difficulty with the stabilization, but I kept it up with perseverance and stayed calm.

OH, and I counted how many fingers I had on my right hand, six of them. Counted again, six of them again.

It seemed that the problem wasn't really my actual body to stabilize, but my eyes, since I know I tend to bring them close together to where they cause a little strain that could possibly wake me up because I feel that it will wake me up.

I almost lost lucidity, but I kept rubbing my hands declaring,

"I'm going to have a long and stable lucid dream." Seems everything is in check, I walk around a little bit in this small room I'm in, then I decide to get out the door into a dark kitchen.

I see my mother, she's wearing a gray jacket, bandana, and some other parts that I really can't bother to care about in the first place.

I decided I should pay attention to what she's doing in the dream, and I made sure I did more nose plug reality checks to make sure I wasn't going to go non-lucid.

I finally convince myself that I truly am dreaming, and I head out the door, without caring what my mother would say to me. I go outside, and I'm led to an area tha looks a lot like my University. There are a lot of trees, and I see students casually walking their separate ways.

My mind was a little sporadic at the time, but I made sure I kept calm. By this time, I don't think anything could've stopped me from going crazy in the dream. I walk a little bit to take in the environment, and it really is beautiful outside.

I see some guy walking in the middle of the road, but there wasn't much traffic in the first place, but something felt odd about that guy. So what do I do? I wave at him!!!

He doesn't acknowledge this because he looks like he's in his own little world. Guess I didn't have to pretend I was reaching out to scratch my head instead of waving at him.

I start getting a little more confident and not worry about stabilization, and I start building up some running speed. Whie I'm doing so, I get the urge to do hand seals for some random fire jutsu from Naruto, but I ended up trying to attempt a Chidori.

While I was in the process of the doing the hand seals, I tried to imagine the sensation of fire at first, but when I realized it's actually Chidori hand seals, it kind of ruined the outcome for me.

Nothing was manifested around my hand, but instead of feeling sad, I had some random ambition to meet a teacher, preferably my Chemistry teacher.

I don't really have a mental image on who it would be, hell, I didn't even care who the I wanted to meet, I just kept running and running until I picked a random building that I felt that whoever it is should be in. I go inside, and there are a few older adults coming out of the building talking to each other.

I swear both looked like one of my Biochemistry and Biology professors, but I didn't feel like speculating on that, I just needed to meet "this" person. I run up the stairs, and I'm having difficulty going up.

Man, who set the gravity to over 9,000 on these stairs? I continue to go up, straining myself upstairs, not really thinking too much on stabilization, everything is a rush.

I finally reach the top, and I walk around the small hallway, and I see there are some office rooms and conference rooms. I go inside a random conference room.

I see an older lady, I'd say she would be in her 50s. I assume that she'll be my Chemistry teacher that I want to meet. She does the usual crap my mind would create for me.

She tells me that I haven't done a quiz as yet, and that I have a few missing assignments.....

BLAH BLAH BLAH I'M FUCKING DREAMING WOMAN.

I basically block out what she's saying to me, and I rested my arms on her shoulders, and slowly started to grope down towards her breasts.

Not to insult elderly people, but what the fuck am I doing with this poor old lady? Ugh.

I realized that I shouldn't be doing this, because the blinds outside of the room were not down.

LOL, that's PERFECT logic there Link!

I told----no I ordered the lady I'm groping to close the blinds. She's a bit slow, but I can tolerate her incompetence in this dream. To be honest, she was basically a ragdoll like most dream characters in this dream, it's just that she was able to spew out random information on how I didn't do this assignment, and blah blah blah. I slapped her ass and said,

"I'm going to fuck that...."

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.

She slowly walks out, and I while more staff members walk down the hallway, they take a quick glance at me and then go their own way. They don't know anything that's going on, good good......still waiting on the lady to close those damn blinds already!

She closes most of the blinds to cover a decent amount of the room so they wouldn't know what kind of "extracirricular activities" we would be doing. A random lady walks down the hallway ask the lady what she's doing, but the same lady just goes back to her own agenda with work.

But instead of closing the door shut with the female, I double checked to make sure all blinds covered all spots. Seems the lady missed a spot. The corners of the window was a bit tricky to use some blinds to cover with. It was at least 3-4 inches wide, which would be enough for people to peek and interrupt us.

Oh, and the blinds were blue, but I really don't give a fuck.

I guess I don't like other people watching me have sex with someone else....hmmm, interesting....but why couldn't I get it into my head that closing the blinds didn't matter!!!

Anyway, I finally have this woman to myself, blinds covering all windows, and then the dream starts to get sporadic and fade away.

I wave my hands frantically at first for a few seconds, then I stopped and just thought that if I'm going to exit the dream, I should just be calm.

I wake up, but my eyes aren't opened as yet, things are still a little blurry, and things go blank.

I AM NOT GIVING UP!!!! PART 2 COMING UP

BDSM in the Conference Room Part 2 (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I just put this separate because it's a DEILD.

I try to imagine myself back at the conference room again.

BAM!

BACK IN THE CONFERENCE, FUCK YEAH. The elderly lady that I almost ruined is gone....

Seems like a waste huh?

NUH-UH.

Two women are tied up on a table, one had a light green skin color, the other with a normal apricot skin tone, and one of them even had her knees tied to her ankles, and the same goes for her wrists and elbows.

Best fucking moment in my dreaming life.

Their facial expressions were basically like this, at least the one on the receiving end:

The girls were anime chicks, with slightly larger breasts and thick thighs than your average non-anime female. The girl on the table was using her feet and elbows to keep the rest of her body elevated so that the other girl that was standing could start licking her vagina.

The other one that was licking her vagina just had her arms folded to the back and tied up. She had purple hair I believe while the green-skinned one had a darker green tone for her hair.

I was almost in the process of fully entering the conference room, but when I finally embrace this scenario, the dream fades.


FUCK, I WAS JUST GETTING STARTED!!!! UGH!!!

11th Lucid Dream:
I was in my living room watching a movie about lucid dreaming, it was being live recorded on the street outside my house, so when I realised I went to the window to watch instead of watching on the TV. The movie was about this couple who had discovered lucid dreaming and lost themselves in the dream world, they were stuck inside it and there were adventures they had to go through to learn how to control their lucid powers.

Near the end of the movie, they master control over their powers and the woman walks out into the street, lifts her hands and all the houses on the other side of my road start to burn, slowly at first with the bushes and flowers in their gardens catching alight and then eventually spreading into the houses themselves.

The woman walks closer to me, faces me and starts singing a song with the burning buildings behind her. I open up the window so I can hear her voice better. It's angelic and very powerful, I was blown away. When she finishes the song, the movie closes out.

I introduce myself to her and say how much I enjoyed the movie, though I critiqued some parts of the script and she agreed. I soon realise that the actor is the woman who played Piper from the TV Show "Charmed" and we began talking about how great it would be to reshoot that show with today's special effects.

Somehow, I just become lucid although it's not complete lucidity, but I know that I'm dreaming. (A common occurrence recently, just randomly becoming lucid with no actual trigger). Me & Piper start flying around looking down on the burning street below us.

The guy who also starred in the movie with Piper flew up to us and handed Piper a package. We flew down next to my house and she opens it, overjoyed about whatever was inside, I wasn't paying much attention.

I was playing around with lucid powers, wondering whether it would be possible to "stick" my feet to the wall. I propped one foot up against the wall and imagined it sticking. I assume it did despite not really doing any tests to back that up, but I lift up my other foot and stick that to the wall too. I was now leaning against the wall with my feet stuck to it, wondering how I was going to unstick them.

Suddenly I remember about the Task of the Month, although I remembered the wrong one. I was still thinking about doing the mirror task from June. I wasn't able to do it anyway because my feet were stuck to this wall, but shortly afterwards the dream faded. I tried to pull it back but I opened my eyes and I was in the waking world.

12th Lucid Dream [Basic Task of the Month]:
I was in a dream as a child in a bed, or possibly a crib. There was a woman standing over me and she conjured a rainbow in her hands and passed it to me. I managed to lift my hand up and block the rainbow, to the woman's surprise. She seemed to be shocked that I had such control over my "powers".

I realised I was dreaming and morphed back into my normal bedroom and body. I still had the rainbow in my hands and I was juggling it from hand to hand, enthralled by the multi-coloured streaks it was making as I threw it about. I realised I should probably do something of worth, so I got up out of bed and rubbed my hands together to stabilise. The rainbow disappeared as I rubbed my hands together also.

I walked up to my door and recalled the door technique that I wanted to try. For some reason a piece of artwork I made a few years ago popped into my head, a photo-manipulation titled "Mushroom Valley". [Pictured Below]

I did my best to recall this image, focusing that it would be there when I passed through the door, but then I remembered the Task of the Month. I again recalled the mirror one but this time realised that it was from June. I was struggling to recall what the tasks were for July, but eventually the basic task came to me.

I opened my door and the door trick only partially worked, I wasn't in "Mushroom Valley", just my hallway but the carpet had turned a browny golden, similar to the image, and the light shining in reflected the same mood as the image. I was quite impressed with how well the scene managed to change.

I walked into my bathroom and I guess I took inspiration from Burke's basic task story because I saw a bottle of listerine on the side. I wanted to make it a bit more interesting though, so I turned around to face the wall and pictured a glass potion bottle full of a glowing liquid.

When I turned back around, sure enough there was a glass bottle there. It was more like a glass jug, with a pouring spout but the handle which was also made of glass was all intertwined and intricate. Inside was a green, bubbling liquid. I picked up the potion and decided not to smell it incase it put me off.

When I took a sip I was instantly shocked, it was strong and carbonated like a soda but infinitely more powerful. My tongue started to tingle and went numb and my ears were ringing. I was flinching in pain, but eventually it faded.

I decided to try again but this time I seemed to enjoy the taste. It was interesting drinking in a dream, something I hadn't experienced before. I noticed to begin with it was hard to try and get the feeling of swallowing the liquid, but when I managed to control it the taste went from something somewhat mild like a lime-flavoured water to a powerful citrus, lime carbonated drink. Almost a lime soda but it tasted better than that.

I had drunk half the potion by this time. I put the bottle down and was worried about what would happen. I tried to walk away but I stumbled and my vision was becoming blurred, it's like the potion had made me drunk. My heart started beating really fast and I was about to fall over when the dream faded and I was back in the waking world, my heart still beating fast.

it was unpleasant dream. i was aware and two drug addict women came to me and began attac me. I made RC and said them - girls! I want to the toilet and after i come back we continue our battle!.... But it didn't work!!!!! So i thought :who is the master of the dream? ME!!!! so i must manage it. And i picked up all my will and wanted to take this girls under the ground with only my glare. And they slowly disappear under the ground. But several other drug addict came to me so i flew and saw beautifull big cumulus cloud above the sea. I flew with the plane speed or may be faster and flew to the cloud. It was like in real ( if you have seen big cumulus clouds from the plane) and changed every second. I flew under it and soon lost aware.

I'm abUt to go to this party at R's house and I get a call from A. She tells me she's baby sitting and can't go. I told her I'd be on the lookout for anyone else who needed a sitter if she want to make extra money. She said she was charging 150 for the night.

I get to the party and it's kinda quiet and no one is drinking (it's supposed to be a kegger) R says he needs me to go get beer so we head off in my car. There's like four of us packed in desire and she's driving weird. On top of that, a row of my theeth feel out. No one notices it and I place them in a glass of water. We keep driving and we get to some detour that requires me to ride a bike while they're being pulled in a big buggy.

We get there and something else stupid happens and I tell D. "man....were in a fucking dream". He was like "oh shit". I started going over all the weird things that happened (like how I couldn't even read my cellphone and it was an older model). Flirting happened Pfor a bit and....the chick had a dick so it was time to wake up.

DreamLucidAwake

Sputnik TOTY and Advanced TOTM

The earliest thing I can remember is falling out of a portal and flipping onto my back. I landed in the middle of a forest on the grassy floor. My dream guide Krystal then hopped out of the portal and landed next to me. Portals, Krystal, and a forest were enough to convince me I was dreaming. I got up off the ground and asked her, "Where are we?".

"Russia," she said.

"Soviet Russia?" I asked jokingly.

"Yes, and you'll be going to space," she said seriously.

"Wait, what?" I said confused.

She guided me through the trees to an opening in the forest. There was a launch pad located there. On top of the launch pad I could see some sort of pod or satellite that looked like a lot like Sputnik. Off in the distance I could see a couple towers. I was assuming the people in the towers were the ones who would launch Sputnik and observe it. Krystal climbed up a ladder to the top of the launch pad and I followed her.

We walked under Sputnik and she stopped to give me instructions. "There is a certain book I need you to find that can only be found on an alien planet. The book will be marked with the symbol of a circle and a plus sign on the left side of the circle. This satellite will take you to that planet," she said.

"Isn't this a little much for for a book?" I asked.

"It's a very valuable and ancient book, so please do this for me," she said.

"Fine, help me get into this thing," I said.

She pressed a red button on the bottom of the Sputnik. A hole in the pod above my head then opened up. She lifted me up into the hole and I climbed in. It was a tight space full of wires, buttons, and screens. Krystal then summoned my cat and tossed him up through the hole. I caught him and he started purring.

"Your cat is too much trouble, so he's going with you," she said.

My cat hissed at her and she growled back at him before closing the door. After 10 seconds or so the Sputnik started vibrating and I knew it was about to launch. I held on tightly to my cat as I felt the G forces on us increase. It stopped after a few seconds and I had a feeling I was in space. I looked at one of the screens and it was showing what was outside of the satellite.

We appeared to be revolving around the Earth pretty fast although I couldn't feel it. The sputnik flew out of orbit and started moving towards another planet that looked kind of like Earth. After a couple minutes we entered this new planet's atmosphere and fell towards the ground. As I started to fear a crash landing, I looked around for a landing button. I took a guess and pressed a yellow a button. The speed of the Sputnik slowed down a lot until it landed lightly on the ground.

Now that I had landed I wanted to get outside and look around. I couldn't figure out how to open the door again though. The door then opened seemingly on its own and I fell out of it with my cat. I looked up to see that a girl had pressed the button on the outside of the Sputnik. She looked similar to a human, but there were a few differences. Her skin was a kind of pinkish purplish color. Her hair was a dark blue color and she had pointed ears like an elf. The girl also had a tail.

"Hello?" I said to her confused.

"Hi! Are you an alien?" she asked curiously.

"Yeah I guess I am," I said.

"That's so cool! But why are you here?" she asked.

"I'm looking for an ancient book with a circle plus pattern on it. Can you help me find it?" I asked her.

"I'll help you if you take me to the festival this afternoon," she said winking at me.

I had a feeling she was hinting a date to me. I then remembered that one of the tasks of the month was to go on a date with an alien. So of course I agreed to go on a date with her.

"Sure, I'll go with you," I said to her.

She smiled and helped me get up off the ground. I looked around and realized I was in a forest. These trees weren't like Earth's though. They were full of all kinds of different colors and held many strange fruits. I won't go into detail though because unfortunately I can't remember them in detail. It would probably take me a long time to finish talking about them if I could anyways.

My cat soon jumped on top of me and rested on my head. The girl then guided me through the forest and the dream scene skipped after about 10 seconds. We were now inside a town walking down main street together. The town looked very similar to Loudonville during the time of the fair. There were many people walking around and enjoying themselves at the festival. The women on this planet all had characteristics like the girl I was on a date with. The men were also similar, but they had blue skin and red hair.

There were different kinds of vendors set up on both sides of the street. Carnival rides and games were stationed around town. There was a lot of confetti and balloons floating around in the air.

We visited a food vendor that was serving a weird pink goo in a cup. I have no idea what it was called because their written language was different. The sign had 2 small circles with a triangle above them. I bought each of us a cup, even the cat. I pulled a silver coin out my pocket and handed it to the man. I'm used to buying things with silver or gold coins in my dreams.

"What's this?" the man asked.

"That's a silver coin. Silver and gold are very valuable where I come from," I said.

"I'll keep it as a souvenir to remember this year's festival!" He said.

We started walking down the street again while eating the pink goo. It tasted like cherry and it was a bit sour. We talked about some things, but I forgot most of what was was said. I do remember that she told me her name was Stella though. She also said she would now show me where I could find the book I was looking for. She walked inside a building that I assumed was some sort of library. She quickly came back out with a large brown book that had the circle plus symbol on the front. She handed it to me and I slipped it into a backpack I just noticed I was carrying.

To be fair with her, I continued the date we were having. It was pretty fun. We walked farther down the street, we came to an intersection. A parade was taking place there. A lot of exotic music was playing as they went by. After about a minute though, one of the marchers saw me. He realized I was an alien and apparently he doesn't like them.

"Alien!" He shouted and pointed at me.

Everyone in the parade then stopped and stared at me. They too started shouting "alien!" and gave me angry looks. I had a feeling I wasn't welcomed by them and that they might turn hostile.

"It was nice meeting you. You might want to run now," she whispered to me.

I took her advice, held onto my cat, and started running back up the street. The parade chased right after me when I ran of course. I ran away a pretty good distance from them before my cat jumped out of my arms. He ran over to some girl who seemed to be taking in the scenery. The odd thing was, this girl was a normal human girl. She crouched down to pet him and he was happy about it. I wasn't too happy about it though because we still had to run. After calling him a few times he came back to me. I remember I ran back towards the forest, but the dream faded away after that.

Helen's Eruption TOTY

I was walking down a dark tunnel with an orange glow at the end. I walked closer and closer to the light until I came into an opening. I was inside a cave where in front of me lied a lake of lava. Some distance into the lake I could see a large piece of land above the lava like an island. This certainly wasn't an everyday thing and it caused me to wonder if I could be dreaming. I used my personal reality check where I simply try to feel whether I'm in a dream or not.It was successful of course and I became lucid.

I activated my dragon sight ability to zoom in and look at it in more detail. Over there I saw a pink dragon sleeping next to a large treasure chest. She was only about 2 times my dragon size, so I assumed she was still young. There were many large crystal formations growing out of the ground on the island. I saw a man who appeared to be some old sage or wizard resting against a large crystal too.

Past experience has told me it's not a good idea to mess with a dragon who's guarding treasure, let alone a sleeping dragon. I still found that island to be the most interesting thing in my dream however. Despite the dangers of it, I decided I would attempt to go over there and have a look around. I leaped forward over the edge of the cliff and transformed into a purple dragon. I then flapped my wings and started flying over the lava. I was aiming to simply turn into a black dragon, but I turned into a purple one with little effort somehow. I'm more powerful as a purple dragon though, so that's good.

I flew over to the island and quietly landed behind a crystal structure. I wanted to be very stealthy as long as I was hanging around a sleeping dragon. When I stepped back out into the open, the dragon quickly awakened even though I didn't make a sound. She opened her eyes and stood up, looking down on me. The sage also awoke and he approached me.

"What are you doing in my volcano?" the dragon asked me.

"Just looking around and exploring the world I guess," I said to her.

She growled at me and apparently didn't trust me at all. Probably a wise choice since I have the habit of stealing treasure. The sage then placed his hand in front of her to make her back off.

"Helen, where are your manners? Hello, I am the great sage of this volcano. This is Helen, my dragon friend who is the guardian of the mountain."

"I'm just a wandering dragonborn. It's nice to meet you," I said to him.

He then came closer and whispered to me, "She's not the type to let you out without a fight. Look for a powerful orange crystal hidden in caves. It will make you powerful enough to defend yourself."

He said this with the intention of helping me of course and to keep Helen from killing me. Helen has very keen hearing however and seemed to have heard every word of it.

"Like I would ever give you the chance of defeating me!" she yelled.

The crystals around the island started to glow brightly. Helen was clearly absorbing their power and planning to attack. Helen charged up her attack and then released a beam of energy from her mouth towards me. I quickly dove to the right and rolled out of the way. The energy beam appeared to be made out of plasma or lava. Very fitting for a dragon who lives in a volcano I suppose.

Helen flew up above the island and started shooting more lasers at me. I was just barely able to dodge them and I was having a hard time planning my next move. Then out from behind a crystal structure my dream guide Krystal ran out into the open. She had two clones that she had made with her on each side. The two clones jumped up into the air and kicked and punched the dragon. The real Krystal ran towards me while Helen was distracted.

"You do not know anything about stealth!" she yelled at me.

"Sorry, I'm clearly not as good as you." I said.

Helen swiped the two clones with her claws and they disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. I grabbed onto Krystal and started flying away from the island with her. Meanwhile, Helen started controlling the lava around the island and sent a large wave of it towards us. When I landed back on the mainland of the volcano, I quickly turned left and ran into a tunnel with Krystal. The lava started flowing into the tunnel so we kept running. After exiting the tunnel I noticed another tunnel higher above the ground with an orange glow. I grabbed onto Krystal again and flew up there to get away from the lava.

We took a moment to rest in that cave. As we were resting I remembered that there was an orange glow in there. I looked around and found the orange crystal that the sage was talking about. I grabbed the crystal and absorbed its power. I felt a lot of energy inside me and felt confident that I could defeat Helen.

"I'm going back to fight Helen. You should be able to find a side tunnel out of the volcano while I'm distracting her," I said.

"Alright, I can sense light up ahead, so I should be able to find a way out. Please try not to die when you fight her," she said.

"I'll do my best," I said.

I ran back the direction we came from and Krystal ran further down the tunnel. I came back to the lake and quickly flew over it back towards the island. Helen was already expecting me and started shooting lasers again. It was a bit easier to dodge her attacks now that I had the freedom of flight. When I came to the island, I landed on it to dodge one of her lasers. I ran across the island towards her. She aimed another laser at me, but I countered it with a powerful ice breath. The collision created an explosion. I jumped through it while focusing all of the crystal energy I gathered into my fist. I punched Helen with an explosive force and she was launched into the wall of the volcano.

It definitely wasn't enough to kill her, but she was dazed by the attack. This bought me some time to escape. I realized that the main exit of the volcano (the top) was actually right above the island. I started flying straight up above the island as fast as I could before Helen could get another chance to attack. Suddenly the volcano started to erupt and I still had a great distance to fly before I would reach the top. I soon did reach the top though and I climbed up onto the snowy summit.

Just as I was starting to slide down the mountain, I noticed a very large bulge in the side of it. The snow started melting away over it and I realized I wasn't in a good position. I quickly surrounded myself with a shield of fury energy as bulge exploded. The shield protected me from most of the explosion, but the blast sent me flying down towards the forest below. I braced myself for impact and put all of my energy into defense and shielding. I crashed through a tree and hit the ground hard before sliding through the forest and knocking down several more trees.

When I finally stopped rolling and sliding across the ground, I took a moment to regather my thoughts on what just happened. I slowly got up off the ground in pain, wondering how the hell I survived that. I was bleeding in several places and aching all over. I didn't die though, so I was happy for that. I looked back up towards the volcano and realized that it was Mount St. Helen. Everything suddenly made sense after that. I even started laughing because I thought that was kind of funny.

I leaned back up against the tree and started healing my wounds. My vision was already getting blurry by this point though. I knew I would wake up very soon.

Thankfully!
Finally had a wonderful string of lucids last night/ this morning! SO AMAZING
it has been well over a month since any clear lucidity was had. And finally 3-4 times just in one night I was able to become lucid in dreamscape! Whew what a rush, I don't even know where to begin. Most certainly these arose from increased reality checks, my plan to teach as many people as possible to reality check while awake. Though in my dream I never did my rehearsed check. It was always realized by either lack of gravity or something being out of place that cued my awareness.
Every time I realized I was in a dream I was focused on jumping great distances, running as fast as I could and jumping miles at a time. I was so exhilarated the majority of the dreams I was just laughing hysterically. Of course I wasn't content with just the speed and agility, I am bound by no physical perimeters! I am going to fly! So I took to the sky, traveling fast and slow I traversed from city to city, eventually crossing the globe. The feeling was so exquisite! Several times during the dream I thought to myself, "This is why dreaming rocks, need more!"
Completely amazed at the ongoing experience the excitement dulled my lucidity in place of dreamplot. Several times I would "Snap back" into the reality that I was dreaming and continue exploring. I feel as though I spent a prolonged time in the dream realm, noting that I had been dreaming for a while whilst in one of the last dreams. My recall has been below par recently so the details escape me. But the experience far rejuvenates my desire to rejoin the non-physical.
Here's to many more, clearer, longer, and more insightful adventures

I was in the back seat of our car with my mom and dad who was driving. It was about dusk and we were driving alone a desolate road with nothing around it and it was completely flat. Up ahead I saw a hill and a dead tree on top of the hill off to the left. Right at the crest of the hill there was a car parked in the right hand lane of the road (the one we were driving in) and was facing towards us. It's lights were on but I couldn't see anyone inside it. We just passed it .

We continued driving along this road for another couple minutes in complete silence, nobody was talking. We eventually ended up stuck behind a tractor trailer going very slowly, about 20 mph. We moved into the other lane to pass him and started speeding up. When we were about halfway past the truck it moved over the left lane where we were and continued driving directly on top of us. The truck was high enough, however, that it never hit our car, despite it being a fairly large SUV. We continued driving beneath the truck as if nothing was strange or out of the ordinary and we eventually came up to a town. When we were about a half mile away from the town the truck disappeared

We entered the town and it was all on a hill going down into a river. The street we were on was winding a lot, like Lombard Street in San Francisco. We slowly wound down the hill and when we were only a short ways from the bottom of the hill and the shore of the river I had somehow appeared in my bathroom . I was just stepping out of the shower but I had all my clothes on. I walked over to the mirror and looked in it. I noticed the right eye in the mirror (my left eye in reality) started to drift off to the right, towards my nose. It was like I had a lazy eye that was growing progressively worse and worse by the second. It started turning very bloodshot and it really freaked me out.

I looked to my left so that the eye would go back to normal but it didn't work. I then used my finger and just pushed it back. This worked well but then a third eye appeared right over the bridge of my nose, but below my forehead. I noticed this was really strange and started questioning reality. I looked at my hands and noticed that each one had an extra finger. I immediately became lucid and was pretty happy at my recent success. I quickly rubbed my hands to stabilize the dream and while doing so looked down at the sink/counter. I saw a bottle of Listerine and the TotM to drink a potion immediately popped into my head.

I turned around and expected the bottle to turn into a magical potion. When I looked back the bottle looked the same but the liquid inside turned form a reddish-purple to bright green. I picked it up and smelled it and it still smelled like Listerine and when I took a sip it tasted like it too. I took a fairly large gulp and waited for something to happen, not sure what would. Only a second after I drank the potion the dream started to fade. I immediately tried spinning but it didn't seem to work. After only a few seconds I woke up

Every time I do something which I don't know what the effects will be I end up waking up
