A spark of lucidity (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in a room with a pool in the middle, kind of like a swimming hall.
I had my new headphones on that i just bought in real life, my iPod nano and my iPod touch. My two buddies from school was there, and I was chatting with them.
I was sitting with my one leg down in the pool, because I thought it was like a "water park", but my friends told me that it wasn't. They told me it was a botanic place (you know, with the flowers and stuff), and when I looked around, there were plants all over. The pool I had my leg in, was just a bit of water for the plants! I looked down, and saw that my new headphone cord was going halfway down the water, and I knew they were ruined. At first I was really sad, but then I thought, "hey, it's just a dream", which is a method I've been using for many years, to force me to wake up from dreams when I want. As I was sitting there waiting to wake up, I thought, "Why not just get lucid?" And so I did.
I looked at my hands, and sure enough, I had four fingers. I also had some kind of weird fingerless glove on one of them. I plugged my nose, and I could breath through. As I was looking at my hands, the dream transformed into my room. I was laying on my mattress on the floor, which I don't do any more (Just got a new bed). I took it very calm, and tried moving my body. But sadly, I was too awake (It was pretty late morning, which means my sleep cycle was almost over), and I ended up just sitting up in my bed.

So I only got a spark of lucidity tonight, But I haven't really been trying that hard the last 2 weeks, so I think it's excelent! Also, every singe even hint of lucidity, is only getting you closer to becoming a master lucid dreamer. In other words, I ain't even mad, bro.

In short this dream, I was in outer space alone and deaf. I was outside above my square spaceship climbing a rope straight up and up, until I went into a straight full circle because I found myself climbing up towards my spaceship.

Long version
I awoke to find myself in suspended animation climbing up a thick rope in the far deep space. I realized I was stricken with deafness. I shook my head fiercely and clapped my hands strongly trying to produce a sound, but no sound arose. I was stone-cold deaf. I felt my lungs blow up like balloons as I inhaled. I could taste the moisture in my mouth. I could feel my hot breath swirling around my helmet and my face. I kept climbing up the coil rope that went from my tiny, white, square spaceship into the stillness of eternal night. I saw no planets, suns, moons, or people--just myself, the rope, the spaceship and the blackness of space with little points of light millions of miles away. My little spaceship disappeared into the vacuum of space below as I climbed up further. There was no wind, movement, signal and no hope, just emptiness, The sullen silence smell like melting ice as it fades away kinda like a distant memory I can almost remember. I was the only thing alive in the universe. A terrible feeling of loneliness captured me like awakening from a coma to find myself paralyzed in my own grave. Suddenly, I saw something above me so I climbed faster. I realized somehow I went into a straight full circle. Above me now was my tiny, little, white, square spaceship. Then I awoke with a feeling of wonder and awe.

So I just learned about this lucid dreaming stuff and apparently I've been doing it for a while. I've had so many powers so far that its in the thirties at least. I've summoned entire lightning storms, telekinesis, flight, bending the elements, super speed, ki powers, xray vision, avatars, and all kinds of things. I never did them just to do it though. I always use them to protect myself or save someone in need. I guess I'm a dream superhero.

I had a dream at the beggining of sleep and one befor I woke up, first one im at a bad side of town riding a really nice bike through streets and alleyways and I get to a parking lot and I see my moms boyfriend snap a pic of me with his cellphone and I get two blocks away and a guy tries to give me a haymaker as I roll by in a narrow walkway, I ride a few blocks and the dream ends. Second dream im at my house with my best friend from when I was yonger andwe where playing new starocean games in y front room and the games got really detailed, it looked like I was really playing and I check to see his portable game, continue to play mine and got to where Vegeta and the main character goes super sayjin.

Last Nights Dreams

Dream 1

I am at a swimming pool with some other men and woman. We are all in the big swimming pool and I look down at the water and it looks murky, I can't see what's in it because it's so manky and I don't like it because I can't see the bottom to see where I'm treading. I'm dating a half-cast man and he is here with us at the pool. The half-cast man asks me to get engaged to him and I'm over the moon about it. I go and tell everyone and we just sit and talk for a while. I look across to the pool side and see the man that I'm now engaged to,I go across to him and he's not looking very happy. I look up to him and he says "it's off!!!" he now walks off out of the baths. I'm now upset. I see my Mom and go over to her and say "I was going to marry him aswell, I was making wedding plans".
I go back to the pool and act upset. I don't feel as upset as I should be considering I've just been dumped so I have to act like I am. I try to cry but I can't so I just make myself look sad . There is another man here that I fancy and I want him to notice that I'm upset and come over to me but he's busy talking with the others. They are all sitting on big metal pipes that are just above the pool. I walk across the pipes and pass those who are talking and I go and sit on my own and act really upset again. No one asks me why I'm upset but then the man I fancy says "what's wrong?" I say "nothing" I still act upset and just sit there as I watch someone who is swimming in the pool. One of the men in the group now takes us to a second pool, we are all standing in it and he says "look it's only slabs in this one. Suddenly all the water is gone ((for a split second I think "huh!!!")) he now lifts up some blue plastic that is covering the bottom of the pool and I can now see all the slabs, he now picks up a slab and it's just dirt and grass underneath, I think "god damn I couldn't swim in this pool, there would be bugs etc floating about in it, I couldn't bare to tread on that with my bare feet. I'm now wondering what bugs etc might be in the other pool I was in!!!

Dream 2

I'm downstairs and my Daughter P is being arsy with me and she storms off upstairs. I go up after her and when I reach the top of the stairs I grab her on the top of her arms. While I'm holding her I lean back as I balance on the top step. I now feel weird and think "this must be a dream!!" I decide to scare her into behaving and I keep leaning her back and fourth, she is smiling smugly and then starts to cry and then screams loudly. My hearing now goes very dull ((like when your ears are full of water)) I'm now thinking "ive never experienced this in a dream before. ((although I'm lucid I'm not 100% in controll)). My 2 dogs now belt up the stairs towards us and knock us, I now wake up.

I woke up in a couch bed at my dads, the hall way near the cearial
closet and the staircase, it was literally crammed into it, I was
frusterated that my WILD technique didn't work again, followed by
some stuff I can't remember, then I had the funniest though.
"What if I was dreaming?" I did a reality check, and everything
started to collapse again, and fade. I grinned and tried to yell
"CLAIRTY NOW" but it only came out as a squeak, so I sang, I can
see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstials in my
way.." and everything was clear. A few seconds later, my dad woke
me up and I told him about my second long lucid dream, I didn't
do a reality check or anything so that didn't make me lucid again.
that was a 3-4 layered dream.

I just write everything down in a notepad doc, then copy and paste it here. This was my second lucid dream if it counts, but atleast my second sucessful reality check, and a unique dream for me.

Didn't try any methods, it just happened.

I was doing a combat operation inside a hospital, not sure why, when I realized that it didn't make any sense. This snapped me into lucidity. I then proceeded to fly out the window, and down to a nearby baseball field. Knowing that the people in my dreams weren't real, I decided to attack them. I attacked the pitcher in the baseball game, and then got swarmed with players attacking me, which woke me up.

Good 40 seconds of lucidity I guess, not bad for my first time.

The dream started when I was on a mw3 map, zoomed into a missile type thing. When I realised this must be a dream. I zoomed out of it and looked at my hands, my 2 fingers in the middle of each hand were curled, funny that happened because I saw a teacher at school who had fingers like that just yesterday. I then tried to stabilize my dream but got distracted and forgot to do a nose pinch rc, I then thought of what to do and I tried to spawn someone I wanted to see they where there but disappeared when I turned around. I tried a few times but it didn't work. I looked at my hands and tried to visualize a beach but ended up in blackness, then im not too sure what happened but I think I lost lucidity around here, but somehow the dream turned into modern warfare 3 and I was shooting people and it was coming up on the feed. After a while I saw a nice car and I thought I hope my dream don't end because I want to drive this, I done a nose pinch rc too at that moment, so I got in the car and I was there for a few seconds then the dream ended. Im a bit confused to whether I was lucid when I saw that car.

My 2nd dream/ It all started off weirdly where there was a camera looking somewere outside my house and there were people and my mum said it was happening again and she got up the news on tv so I thought lets call the police, it didn't work.

Im not sure if this was the same dream but this is when the good part comes im with this girl and im introducing her to my family, we planned to go out to dinner but there was lots of family there and I got shy, so I told them im not going and I was going somewhere else with her, so I went to find her and my dad came with me, when he told her she looked sorta surprised but then my dad started to get forceful and he said u better go then im not sure what happened but he started to sort of push her away and I told him to stop it then after a while I didn't know where she was and the dream ended.

When I was sleeping I had a dream that I was at a special event at the video game awards or some gaming event and we were watching the games play and we got to get free DLCs for the games being played and there were some cool 2-3 disced games, I know this because we got a big bag full of video games of our chosing limit 10 or something, I remember me trying to get specific games and almost comming short but I got the best wat better than anything out now.

2 Lucid Dreams. In the first, I had a hamster and I was going to take it out of the house but I was like "Oh, I'm dreaming" and became lucid. I lost lucidity quickly but the dream continued. I don't know how I regained lucidity, but I went into this living room of this house and said "Show me how to have more lucid dreams!" but nothing happened. I couldn't talk at first: it took me a little bit to figure out how to do it.
I decided to start climbing the walls and lost lucidity at one point
My sister's ex was there wearing a wig. We were at a pool that had go-karts go around it. A pig chased a cow over a fence and we heard lots of animal screams. Cow murdering pig maybe?

Big part of this was that I could FEEL things. It might have been the ADAish stuff I've been doing, but I was more aware of how things felt.

Type: Lucid
Level of Control: Little

Spoiler for Click here:

This was a very very very exciting dream for be because I used PORTALS. It's been one of my dream goals to learn how to use portals and even though this was a non-lucid dreams, I did just that.
I had watched Sherlock Holmes just before going to bed so it influenced this dream a LOT. There were gypsies and birds as part of the plot, and I could do time travel with the portals (maybe. Not sure.)

So I finally learned how portals works, even if I wasn't lucid. Awesome. This dream was very much inspired by Sherlock Holmes, too. There was a point that there were like gypsies and I deciphered a code that used bird whistles as the code.

Spoiler for Warning: Sherlock Holmes spoiler:

I also "died" at some point but not really like Holmes did.

WBTB was slightly better. 5:30 AM might be a sweet spot for me. Next time I'm lucid I'll practice portals more (Hint: I didn't xD)

Dwarf and I were running/hiding from giant sloths.
Castle - built by Toph

Became lucid, don't remember much. The DCs made the castle for me, the dreamer. They were very nice. I liked them.
I lost lucidity at one point while I was playing with my dogs, not really doing anything. Just playing with them.

EDIT: BEFORE I FORGET. I called out for the Golden Fox, which I've decided is one of the forms I want to learn to shapeshift to, but I don't remember much about it. Come to think of it, why'd I call for the Golden Fox if I want to be the Golden Fox? Maybe he's my Dream Guide?

I got in a car with a couple of dudes. My friends, I guess. Dunno where we were going.
I re-attained lucidity when I looked at my hands. At first, they were real blurry and I just had one extra finger, but then they were like...bent and I had lost of extra fingers and stuff. I spent a lot of time just staring at my hands cause I found it interesting. I controlled a few things in the dream, but I had to repeat my command a few times.
I remember we were driving and I saw a trolley cart thing on a zipline. You know the ones. Whatever they're called, I saw one. I was like "Man, what would you do if I just grabbed that and threw it...wait, that's stupid. Nothing, because I'm dreaming. Open the sunroof."
The DC really really didn't wanna open that sunroof, but I was adamant. I kept repeating "The sunroof is open" until it did so.

Stupid me, I wanted to fly up there and get that cart. I started losing lucidity, not being able to fly well. Eventually it just...stopped. I was like "Oh, I'm in that black void thing. I'll just reenter my dream" but I could tell that I had just woken up.

Making another note here: HUGE SUCCESS.

This was brilliant. Long, stable-ish, vivid dream, just like my mantra. I think it's time to start working on switching my focus to dream control, since I'm having a very good number of LDs now, and I'm getting to the point that I can control them.

Type: Lucid and non-lucid
Level of Control: Although it was far more than I usually have, I'm still going to have to say it was very little control. I just followed along with the dream plot and couldn't figure out what I wanted to practice (portals would be that, remember? )

Oh yes, before I forget: one more dream. I didn't write it down because it scared the shit out of me and I think I just wanted to forget it at the time.

Spoiler for Click here:

I don't remember much, just the ending. I was talking with a group of people I don't know about like demons/whatever they were and I mentioned that I'd seen some before. They asked me what it was like and I started telling a story that was nothing like my actual experience with what I've noticed people here call "shadow men."

Well, as I was telling the story, I could hear this vibrating ringing in the distance, and I could feel something near me. As I continued to tell the story, it got closer and closer and the ringing got louder and the vibrations became harder until it was just way too much and I begun to scream. The last thing I heard was myself screaming, and I was all of a sudden just lying in my bed, staring at the darkness of my nightmask. It was like in the movies, where you have a nightmare thing and your eyes just shoot open. Yeah, like that. First nightmare I've had in a while. Had a lot of similarities to the DJ entry "Vibrations" of mine

While this dream may of been just as good as my first one I can't remember it as well for some reason. Anyways, here is what happened. I remember I was going for my morning jog. As I went over this little hill I just kind of... became lucid... I have no idea how but I was just running and instantly knew I was dreaming out of the blue. The goals I had set for myself in the dream were to work on spinning for stabalizing the dream as well as to change locations quickly. Thats exactly what I did. I began spinning, for longer this time than my last dream, and just closed my eyes for a few seconds. I opened them while I was still spinning and the dream became very vivid. I then decided I would try to spin myself to a new place and continue on with my quest form the first dream. I began spinning and just focused on where I was going. It actually seemed to be pretty easy and the landscape started to change. Right before it had completely changed though I remembered that I wanted to see if I could run faster this time than my first dream. I stopped spinning and the dream went back to the original scene. I then started running. I remember conciously hoping in the dream that no one would appear like last time and interfere with my explorations. I didn't get very far before someone came along though. I remember thinking "Oh great, now what am I gonna do? I still don't know how to make people go away in my dreams!" I stopped running and just told myself that they would keep driving down the road and dissappear. Well whaddaya know?? They decide they just HAVE to stop and talk to me. grrr... So I went and talked to them. They asked what I was doing and I said I was jogging. I then asked them why they stopped and they said thier car ran out of gas. Then I remember thinking "Oh this is just wonderful. Now I have this dumb guy with me that I don't know how to get rid of him." I didn't know what to do. However, I happened to have my cell phone with me and told him where the gas station was and he could call for a tow. I just let him have my phone and started running again. Finally free from annoying DC's I could continue on with my expiriments and then go on with my adventure from the first dream. Right when I started running really fast though I either woke up or stopped dreaming or something because that is all I remember.

dream : comments : lucid

21st of June, 2012

My recall's been really bad lately, for some reason. This is a tiny almost lucid I had this morning.

I was with Nooks and some other people in a forested hill area. It was winter and the trees had mostly lost their leaves. I realised that there was a UFO following the people, who began to run away together. I said to Nooks that it would make much more sense if they split up; that way it couldn't follow them both... but it'd be gay as Hell to be the one that it DID follow.

Somehow it came to pass that Nooks and I were the ones that were being followed so we began running through the trees trying to avoid this thing and its spotlight. It was really quite horrifying. We ran for a while trying to lose it and find cover before coming across a river with huge frozen walls.

Like that, but without the glacier on top-just more hill.


Anyway, we tried to hide in the crevices and hoped that the cold water would lower our body temperatures so they couldn't detect us. Nooks started singing at that point though, so I put my hand over her mouth to shut her up. Too late.

Aliens began to abseil out of this thing (it was basically a helicopter, apparently) so we bolted while we had the chance, swimming as hard as we could to reach the bank. We ran like that for some time and eventually found ourselves near people in a large...complex of some sort. Kind of like a school/outdoor shopping mall. I looked back to see the 'alien' (read: random dude) chasing us at like 50km/h so we stepped up the pace and were running absurdly quickly. At that point we were on an indoor oval and began jumping really far to try and escape. I turned to Nooks and said "Don't worry Nooks, this is obviously just a dream now!" and kept jumping, wondering what to do next.

I'd been asleep for a while though so as soon as I realised I was dreaming I woke up. Should've stabilised or something. Ah well, still appears my dream recognition is improving.

Over there,
Where a vacant lot densely filled with tall weeds,
Stood a tall tree for decades.
Villagers nearby had a strange story of a lost child, strolling;

“Ma… where are you?”

“Ma… I miss you.”

A motherless child blankly cries for its mother.
People tentatively speculate
An abandoned corpse lies beneath the tree,
Waiting and wandering

Mama……

A small tree at the time of a child’s death
Burgeons into a luxuriant tree.
The taller it grows,
Higher and farther a child visions.

Mama……

Avoiding and whispering
Supposedly about the damned tree.
Villagers feel the eerie note to a child’s voice;
Enamoring adroitly.
A warning goes into one ear out the other,
I look up for this infamous tree.

At the top its companion
There is a child wearing a raggedy straw hat,
Incessantly gazing at one place;

Mama……

A pitiful child with
Lingering attachment and memories
Still has eyes full of tears

(i wake up and i try to recall, however i did not remember anything do i go back to sleep and begin to dream) i am at my Dads place with a bunch of family and i remember spending the night there and i couldn't sleep because i was in the same room with an evil plant that slowly warped around peoples neck and strangled them. i do a RC and and count my fingers, 5, it doesn't feel right so i do it again, as i recount i see six fingers, i now know i'm dreaming and my goal is to fly. the dream fades out into a moment of nothingness and fades back in where it left off just before fading out again, it repeats this several times not giving me enough time to even try to fly. (i eventually wake up and remember my dream instantly)

I woke up 4hr30m after originally going to sleep to attempt a WILD as per the current homework task in Sageous' WILD class. I stayed up for approximately 30 minutes writing down my dreams and generally walking about as suggested.

I laid back down to attempt a WILD and repeated my mantra while focusing as much on self-awareness as possible. I think my main issue was that I got a bit too focused on the HI and what I guess was the beginning sensations of sleep paralysis because each time I noticed it I woke myself up too much.

I probably could have gone a bit longer, but I was laying there for about 35 minutes and decided I'd roll over onto my side to try another attempt. At some point I guess I must have just gone to sleep, but it must have somewhat worked because I was partially aware of the fact that I was dreaming when I got into the dream, I didn't even perform any reality checks.

I was back in this test lab style location, the same place I was at in my previous dream of the night, only this time instead of being a test subject for the experiments of this lab I was in a quarantine prison. I was somewhat aware of the fact I was dreaming at this point but the dream is also somewhat hazy. I remember breaking out of the quarantine prison with another person who was with me, and from this point we avoided the guards and made our way to the exit of the test lab.

Upon getting outside, the dream world was somewhat restricted, there was a small patch of grass outside and then the world just cut off in a perfect line and disappeared into a void of many, swirling colours.

I decided I would jump off the edge and as I was falling I repeated to myself "I will fall into a lucid dream"

After a few moments of conscious blackness I open my eyes and see I'm in this room and lucid, there are no ends to the room and it seems to stretch on forever, but it's quite narrow. Both walls are different colours and there are doors on each wall, in more colours. There are lots of objects, kids toys mainly, scattered over the floor in assorted colours also.

I look at the wall and for some reason decide it'd be a good idea to try and "pull" a rainbow from the picture of swirled colour on the wall, but then I stop myself. I remember that I need to do the Task of the Month which is a revelation for me as I never remember to do anything in my lucid dreams.

I remember what Sageous said about forming your dreams, using schemas to build a world around you. I notice one of the kids toys on the floor is a train and I focus on that and try to build a scene around it. I put my hands together (though unsure why, I guess I thought it would help) and close my eyes.

When I open my eyes I'm in another small box area, there are brick walls all around me but there is no roof, I can see the sky above me. There are inactive trains, train carts and coaches on multiple tracks in this around and running through the middle of the area was another track extending into dark tunnels on each end.

I looked into one of the tunnels and a train just kind of "appeared", I move out the way and it speeds by out of the tunnel and quickly disappears into the tunnel at the other end. It seems my subconscious mind had created the most convenient location possible for me to do the Task of the Month, because every 15 seconds or so another train would appear and speed by before disappearing into the tunnel.

I spend a moment and try to figure out how I'm going to jump on top of this train, I focus my mind above the entrance tunnel and try to pull out a ledge from the brick wall that I could stand on, but I couldn't seem to make anything budge. I decide that I could make a jump from one of the nearby stationary trains and onto the speeding train, if I jumped far enough. For some reason just flying up never crossed my mind, which is strange because flying is usually one of the first things I remember to do in my lucid dreams.

Just as I'm preparing to jump I notice the exit tunnel isn't that large and I would probably go smashing into it if I jump on top of the train. I make an attempt at expanding the area so I could fit through, but just like the wall previously it wouldn't budge. I figure that this is a lucid dream and I would just chance it, hoping my subconscious would follow my will to not be smashed to death by a brick wall and expand as I approached it on top of the speeding train.

A few more trains pass and I prepare myself, eventually I leap and just manage to latch on to the train. I climb up and the train appears to be quite thin so I'm laying on top of it clutching on for dear life, as I approach the tunnel I feel the top of the roof scrape my head and my back and then it seemingly disappears, no troll subconscious for today!

I assume I get too excited riding on top of the train as I pass through the tunnel, because next thing I know I'm back in my bed.

I open my eyes and start recalling my lucid, excited that I completed the Task of the Month and couldn't wait to get on the computer and write on DreamViews about it. I look at the time briefly and then pick up my dream journal and read over the dream I had previously that night and as I pick up my pen and begin to write down my lucid, my vision becomes really blurred. I couldn't quite figure out what was going on. I rub my eyes and when I open them again I've seamlessly transferred back into my bed, laying down again.

I'm obviously completely blown away now, I had never experienced such a realistic False Awakening before, I even checked the time and read over my previous dream! When I sat up I had to perform multiple reality checks just to make sure I still wasn't dreaming because I no longer trusted my reality. I even specifically recall reading what was in my dream journal, and when I picked up my actual dream journal the previous dream in there was different to the one in my dream and I wasn't sure which one was real and which wasn't.

All in all, an amazing lucid and I guess a half-successful WILD, maybe.
