lucid

Coconut Water

All I remember is that someone was opening a coconut and I was desperate to get some of the water. I could imagine the taste in my dream.

Brush with Lucidity

I was lucid, but I couldn't see anything. I've had this happen before. I knew I was dreaming, but there was nothing around. I was trying to kiss J., but since nothing was around, it didn't work. I had a false awakening and wondered if I were actually awake.

This is when I need to do my reality checks. GOD why didn't I do one?

I'm going to increase my lucid count because I need to know, but it was totally bogus.

*** This is my first lucid dream ***
I'm in a hallway that's poorly lit, few doors on each side of the hallway. At the end is a door that's slightly open, light on. I walk towards it and find out it's a restroom.. well i see a mirror and decide to look at myself. ( at this time i have no control of the dream nor do i know I'm dreaming ) All of a sudden after looking in the mirror, i become heavy and i glow a bright golden color, at this time I'm granted control of my actions and I'm aware it's a dream. I'm then transported to a new hallway and it's much wider and well lit unlike thelast one. The hall way has a checkered floor black and white.. red curtains on the windows, everything is fancy. At this time I'm , " you're dreaming, you can do anything, just focus." And i clench my fists and open them quickly on an attempt to make fire, but i fail and make sparks and smoke instead. I try a few more times with the same results.. then i snap my right finger like the human torch from fantastic four, and create fire. I see business people walking around so i decide to have some fun, as i walk past them i snap my fingers and flick some fire balls at them, one guy called me a " douche" i laughed. Once i reached the end of the hallway, the dream ended.

I was on a dirt path in an open forest. there was a horse in front of me and I needed some sort of transportation. I thought about riding the horse, and that's when I started to realize I was dreaming. I thought about how my mom loves horses, but never got to ride one. The horse didn't have a saddle so it was difficult to mount. as I tried to stay on top of the horse I tried to imagine that the horse had a saddle and reins. It worked and I grabbed the reins to try and steer the horse. I can remember pulling left and right on the reins to control the horse's movement. (I usually can't control much in my dreams)

The next thing I know im riding into a town and its dark out. I get off the horse and it sort of just disappears. Its really quiet and I start walking down the streets. I start to get scared and try to not think about anything scary. I start walking to look for a place to stay, but everyone is afraid to answer the door. I forget that im dreaming and decide to try and head back to my car. I walk back the way I came and find my car, but one of my front wheels have been torn off. I start to worry and then the rest of my dream gets fuzzy and I wake up.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am at my high school being chased by zombie creatures that resemble sinister versions of Edvard Munch's The Scream. While running, I somehow realise I am dreaming and turn to face the zombies. I power up to Super Saiyan, screaming at the top of my lungs "I'M LUCID NOW, BITCHES" And unfortunately, that's all I remember.

I don't really remember the beginning of my dream, but it began with me, and the characters from an anime expediting on something. I don't really remember. I was tired, so I went to sleep. I subsided into my dreamscape and I knew I was dreaming off the bat, because I began flying all of a sudden. I didn't do much in that dream, except explore, I was lucid. Then I woke up, told the characters that I had a lucid dream. That dream wasn't lucid. Some people died due to causes, such as falling down a really long ladder, drowning, etc. I went to sleep again, and it was also lucid. I woke up, and tried to breathe whilst holding my nose. I was dreaming. I was outside of a house. I went inside and it was a mess. There was a woman there. I guess she was supposed to be my 'mom' in the dream. She got mad at me. There were chairs broken, windows cracked. The reason for this was that there were four girls in there, at the time I wasn't lucid dreaming, who got mad at me. I stormed out of the house and didn't return until that time. I waved my arms. "CLEAN UP!" I shouted, all the mess disappeared. This part I had trouble with. Our neighbor was selling his car for $500. I didn't have $500. I went back inside and tried to spawn $500. No luck. I was waving my hand at a table, shouting "500 DOLLARS!" and it didn't work. I tried to focus, and think very hard. "Spawn 500 dollars." Didn't work. I think after that I woke up. Wait! I woke up again? I had a false awakening. I got up, walked out into the living room, and woke up again. This time, I was awake for sure.

Dream 1 - Lucid

I am talking to an 8 year old girl (a friend's daughter who I did see earlier in the day during waking hours) She is asking me how to tell if she is dreaming. Several times I hold her nose and tell her to breathe but she doesn't understand. I demonstrate on myself and am very shocked to find I can breathe through my plugged nose. The room spins madly and the girl disappears. I keep thinking 'oh my god, I'm dreaming!' and this sends my heart racing madly. I study my hand to 'stabilise' myself, but the shock of seeing hundreds of fingers on it makes me even more giddy. I am not scared but definately shocked, excited and a little worried. I decide to try and move before I wake up.

My vision is fuzzy and grainy, a bit like a TV channel that has not been tuned properly. I lift my arm to get out of the bed which I now find myself in, but my arm is heavy and there is suddenly a loud 'whooshing' noise in my ears. It is rather frightening but I try to keep calm. The noise does not go away, it is much like air rushing past my ears, or blood rushing to my head. Alongside this my limbs are tingling all over, and feel extremely weird. This is the most intense feeling, I know I am asleep but it really feels like I am in this dream world physically. The movement of lifting my arm sends my body into crazy sensations, and I feel like I am being pulled from my actual body into the dream world. This was a new, and memorable experience for me.

I slowly float into the air, not really controlling my direction but in a general direction I want to go. My partner who is now in the bed I just left is shouting at me angrily. I ignore him because I know it is only a dream version and he is not really mad at me, plus I don't want to miss this experience. I then float gently onto the floor, where I stay, kind of paralyzed. My partner continues to yell 'Get up, what are you doing on the floor! Stop that!' Which is very off-putting. After a few seconds of trying to move, I wake up in bed.

I am paralyzed in bed, and know that I can enter another lucid if I stay perfectly still and keep my eyes shut, however I am so excited that I open my eyes purposely, so I can record the lucid in my DJ. This was a choice as I didn't want to forget my very first lucid dream.

***NOTEWORTHY***
First lucid!
Used 2 x RCs
Was prompted by a DC
Could not move very well
Vision was very poor

"Spider-Cave Excursion"

I don't remember much of this dream, but the earliest thing I recall is being in a tomb or cave-like environment, with some other people. Not sure why, or what we might have been doing down there, but I do know that the place was crawling with large, rat-sized spiders. There was one moment, in particular, where we running through a narrow passage, and an army of those spiders were stringing down on their webs behind us. (Been having a lot of wolf spiders around the house, lately. I was bound to start dreaming about them sooner or later.)

Later, I had become lucid. (I don't remember how, though, which has been pretty common in my last few lucids). The only two things I really remember while lucid is doing a front walk-over (flip using hands), across a small bridge, and trying to blow up the tires of an enemy truck that had advanced on me from somewhere, using a sort of 'heat-hand' attack, but to no avail. I have a feeling my lucidity lasted a good while, but I really don't remember much.

The only other thing I recall was escaping an area on bikes, though I can't remember if they were motorized or not. A friend was with me, riding along-side, and we were rushing down a grassy trail. I was carrying a sharpened piece of rebar that I had been using for a weapon and dropped it, during the escape. Being that it was the only thing I had, remember risking turning back around to pick it up, before completely riding away.

That's about all I recall, though.

my house moved and i understod that its a dream. flew through the closed window. saw forest and mountains. desided to fly to the other place and awoke.

Foreward
I have only recently, started recording my dreams, thus far it has only been approximately three weeks. I immediately started recalling at least three dreams per night once I made the conscious choice to do so. I haven't practiced any lucidity techniques; though lucidity is, in part, my primary goal; I have found the process very rewarding and entertaining so far. My dreams are often fantastical or in settings that would seem oddly constructed, or vast and otherworldly, and I have found it odd that it would not be enough for me to realize I was dreaming. I am certain of a couple lucid dreams over the years, but if they truly were while I was aware I was dreaming I always acted them out; only once or twice making brief use of fact I was actually dreaming.

I believe this dream was in the first cycle of REM sleep as it was short and the time in the night would support this.

The Dream

I opened my eyes...
I was kneeling inside a dim room, in the far left corner facing forwards. The floors were wooden and there was a large rectangular mirror affixed to the wall in front of me, the mirror just off to my right hand side, it's base sitting roughly half way up the wall. I felt safe, familiar... yet not.
Still kneeling where I had came to, I looked in the dire the mirror and saw my father's reflection. He looked back at me, then it occurred to me I was alone in the room. It was a ghost staring back at me.
But then I realized my father was still alive this couldn't be, and that is when the feeling of panic washed over me.
Simultaneously it occurred to me I was dreaming, but the panic had set in and I could feel my body weakening and the world was growing dark around me. I had felt this feeling before... when I was only a child... I was about to pass out... my body began to fall forwards and the world grew darker still but I was now calm; I was going to hit the wall and there was nothing I could do.
I waited for the impact of my head against the wall, but it never came. Enshrouded and cradled by the darkness I had passed through the wall and awoken lying in my bed staring at the ceiling.

The ceiling above me was the stars, the universe, and I wanted to see it all.
My body started lifting off the bed, up into the ceiling of stars after which I willed myself fast through the cosmos. After, what was probably only a few seconds of travel I decided I wanted to go back to Earth; and experience this amazing feeling of lucidity there. I looked back towards Earth, it was nowhere to be seen; but I knew the direction and slowly my body turned around and started travelling back towards Earth.

This is when I truly awoke in reality, having glimpsed if only for a moment something extraordinary.

I was in a junkyard type landscape and it was dark out with some fires spread around the place, I remember hearing someone on an ATV coming, then I saw them, I didn't see a dream sign I just knew I was dreaming. So to get away, I willed myself to fly and I did, taking off like superman. Just as I started to feel the wind in my face, everything went black as the dream was ending, and I remembered a way of prolonging control but by that point the blackness I saw was the backs of my eyelids which ended up opening.

Last night, I had my first lucid dream as an adult. I was on a hiking trail in one of the prairies of my home province, crossing a newish, unpainted wooden bridge across a small stream, alone. Other than the bridge and the stream behind me, the only feature of the landscape was a field of the tall, dry grass common in Alberta, stretching as far in front of me as I could see. It was a very sunny day with the very pale blue sky we have around here, though I can't recall whether there were any clouds. I was in a generally good mood, because of some kind of interaction with a DC earlier in the dream that I can't remember, but I was a bit embarrassed because I was out walking in my socks. Not having shoes is one of my dream signs, and a part of me recognized this. I was next to lucid at this point. I decided to experiment, and attempted to generate shoes onto my feet. I succeeded, though the shoes only remained for a few seconds. The transition is a little fuzzy. I can recall doing a fingerpalm RC last night, and it was either at this point, or in another dream. In any case, I realized fully that I was dreaming, and thought to myself, "Isn't something supposed to happen now? Oh! That's right! I become lucid!" At this point I can remember feeling a rush of awareness of my environment. Everything seemed far more vivid, and I decided to test my newfound lucidity. I picked up and flew. I was every close to the ground for a second or so, and then began to fly directly upward beyond my control, though my body was still parallel to the ground. I realized that the dream was destabilizing and I decided to let it, simply wanting to get this first experience under my belt. I made I mental note to remember what had happened, and the dream ended.

I'm in my cousins house. His GF is throwing someone out for being loud, drunk, nasty and rude. I'm playing some game, but I'm not really interested in it. I notice there are two girls in the dinning room, A cute blond with long hair that has a some black streaks and roots and a straight up brunette, and doug looks like he is ready to pass out. I stand up and stretch, notice I don't feel tired at all. I decide to leave before Everyone passes out and I tell doug I will see him later. I then leave the house and start to walk to my house. Its a super dark night and I notice I can't see the moon. I finally reach my house and hear my dog is barking inside. I walk in and there are two girls inside. One is older but the other seems about my age, and she is holding a bucket full of many coloured neon fluid. She drops the bucket and I throw up one hand using my mind to pin her to the wall, and when the old lady tries to attack me I try to do the same to her but I can't. Instead I grab her with my other arm and subdue her by holding her close, with my arm over hers so she can't hit me. I then shout what are you doing here and the girl pinned to the wall replies they were paid to come and steal that, pointing to the bucket. I leave her pinned to the wall but lower my hand and touch the swirling tie dye of colours and it starts to creep up my arm with a tingling sensation before soaking in my skin. I feel so energised and I let the older lady go and Pin her to the wall with my mind too. It seems the liquid made me stronger some how. I feel so much energy, when someone walks in the door behind me. I turn away from the girls leaving them pinned to the wall as I do to see the guy from my Dream, a couple weeks back, that allowed me to Regain my powers when I thought they were lost.

"Good Job" He says, "You Stopped them and have learned how to use your powers on more than one person at a time. "Well let them go, we have things to do" He says turning and walking out the door.

I follow him and he Stops after walking off the porch. He then takes off flying really fast into the sky, and I am taken by surprise but follow him as soon as I get ahold of myself. He is ahead of me and moving much quicker than I am, forcing me to push myself way to go faster. Things start to blur below but I am catching him. I notice that he is leading me toward the sun, and to a place I've probably never been before. Eventually He slows down and I do too. he flys lower and I follow his lead. He brings us to a river and is flying over it when suddenly he dives in. I hesitate before I follow him but then go in the water I don't really stop flying though. I fly right through the water following the streak of bubbles the guy is leaving. Eventually he goes up ward again. I follow and we land on a bridge. There are lots of cars driving by in the early light. The guy then really trips me out by putting his hands on the poles going up the bridge and climbing them without any grip. I follow him and do the same, using my mind to hold myself to the poles without anything to grip on. We reach the top and ever silent he jumps off and lands on the bridge, I do the same. Then he finally talks.

"Well are you ready to finish this then?" He asks.

"Ready for what?" I reply and he just starts walking again, quietly. almost silently. I notice that my foot steps are way louder than his, so I figure its just another thing I can control with my mind, and I focus on making no sound at all. Eventually we are both silent figures. I follow him off the the left of the bridge, down a dirt road and eventually up a green hill to a fairly large house. He walks through the door which I notice doesn't make a sound either. I follow concentrating on making no noise. He leads me up a set of stairs straight a little to the right when we walk in. once upstairs I notice a bathroom to the right of the landing and its an open room with three girls in it.

He throws up his hands pining the 'boss' girl to the chair she was sitting in, and I follow his lead by throwing the other two girls that flank her against the walls. I don't even need to throw my hands up anymore, just think it.

"Let them go downstairs" the guy says, and release them and they walk down.

As they are walking by I notice one of them is the blond from my cousins house earlier. I then follow them and watch them walk all the way down the stairs. I fell a strange pull to the bathroom to my left now. I walk in and close the door behind me. I walk around taking it all in before stopping to stare at my reflection over the sink. Suddenly I hear a chant coming through the walls. I face the door and notice a weird light shining through, and I know it is the blond.

Im on a small island with my current house built into the cliff-line as if it's a castle. We have 3 or 4 neighbors, 1 being someone who has stricken me. The inside of my house is boring, except my computer. I suspect a meaning from this. Anyways, we live in a farm island basically.

1 day, sick of my life. I decide to sneak out to the city. I hop out my window and I find the girl im in love with walking down the beach with a backpack. I run up to her asking where she is going, "to the city" she says "I wanna go to a few concerts." We decide to go togethor.

At the edge of the cape is a hole with a ladder, this is the entrance to the world....

When we finally get to the bottom after what seemed like days, there is a transit station directly on our position. Which is wierd because last time it was a supermarket. We hope on a train to our designation and are off! watching this un-comprehensible city pass us by we start growing attached to 1 another. Realizing, we are perfect for each other day by day...

We reach the trains destination, its hell.... We are forced to get off, scared we turn to the nearest person. Turns out this is a club haha. We decide to stick around, we go to the top floor. and party with aerosmith and some rockstars. We leave and head to the concert. We have a great time, and have a party afterwards. We decide to leave and get caught up in another realm. The world of big things, kinda a hangover thing when I end up there. I get trapped by giants, and eventually escape with the help of my lover. The second we are at a safe distance I tell her how I feel. "I love you, always have." she says it at the same time, we go back up the ladder and decide too explore our small island, and we find a huge castle! But we were stopped by our parents on the cape were it all started.... I say another time, and leave the cape for what feels like forevor..

Once again I fall in love with my dream.

"Canyon Rock"

(There was so much in this dream that I don't remember. =/ I know that I was trying to complete the Grand Canyon task in the "Warriors of Dreamviews" thread, and that I became lucid at many points throughout the dream, but there is so much that was just plain forgotten...)

Most of the 'beginning' of the dream was just exploratory; walking around the streets at night. Not sure what city I was in. During this time, I became lucid. I remember being in a park area and trying to walk through a chain-link fence. It kept resisting, as if this were waking life, even though I kept reminding myself that it was a dream. I tried to relax a little bit and sort of 'forget' about the fence, in order to walk through it. I began to sink into it a little bit, but I was still having a lot of trouble actually getting through it. On the other side of the fence, I could see a man standing across the street. He was laughing at me, watching me try to walk through this fence, and it beginning to agitate me.

With a bit more determination, I forced myself through the fence - without breaking it, I believe, but am not sure - and walked over to this guy. Unfortunately, I can't remember quite how I exacted my revenge on him, but I did.

Later, I was in someone's apartment, again just wandering around, taking in the lucid scenery, thinking of what to do next. Throughout the dream, I used the nose-plug reality check often, which was fresh in my mind after having been talking to IvyCloud about it, keeping me attuned to the fact that I was still dreaming. Looking at the bed, I noticed that the sheets were the color of sand, which made me think of a desert. I then thought about the Dream Warriors task, and that one of them was in the Grand Canyon. Trying to figure the best way of teleporting to that kind of scene, I ended up just staring at the bedsheets, letting the print fill my field of vision. Soon, it was like I was looking down upon a desert area, from the sky. The image grew wider and closer in my perspective, until my feet touched down upon the sand as if I had just dropped out of flight. Raising my eyes to my surroundings, I saw that I was suddenly in the wide, yellow desert surrounding the canyon, and there was a fierce battle raging around me, involving tanks, RPGs, ATV's and other toys.

The last thing I remember was doing the nose-plug check one more time, being able to breathe, and then rushing in to join the battle.

"Makin' Hulk Angry"

I was with my best friend T, and...the Hulk. We were in a building, that I believe might have been an apartment, and there was (another) face-less, name-less enemy faction closing in to cause all kinds of trouble. (Isn't there always?) So, for some reason, the Hulk was reluctant to fight. The three of us were standing in the living room, and T and I were trying to get Hulk worked up, so that he would take out all of these bad guys who were about to descend upon us. For some reason, though, he was just really mopey and depressed and insecure, almost like he was Banner trapped in Hulk's body. Then, we said something that touched a nerve - I think it had to do with something that we knew happened to his parents that (conveniently) had to do with these villains that we were about to face.

That triggered a reaction in him, and we could see that infamous scowl begin to return to his face. I can't (now) remember what the dialogue actually was, but we kept on pressing, mercilessly recounting to him all the details of what these enemies have done to his family in the past. We were bombarding him with horrible memories, our tone increasing with each emotional hit we gave him. We could almost see his blood boiling. He began to absolutely quake with anger, huge white teeth baring down upon each other, in the open. He looked as if he were literally about to explode.

Finally, not being able to take it anymore, Hulk suddenly let out a thunderous roar, bent his legs and then, enraged, jumped straight up into the air like a rocket, tearing through the many floors above us and leaving a gaping hole all the way through the top of the building. T and I looked at each other and grinned, knowing that - whomever these clowns were that were looking to attack us - they were in for a world of hurt.

Weird. :p

"Heather" (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was with my girlfriend and we were going somewhere with this girl she knew named Heather. We got into this car, my girlfriend sat in the front, while I sat in the back with Heather. Heather had several facial piercings, long black hair with purple in it, and black glasses. Heather started talking to me right away and she enjoyed talking to me. She laughed at nearly everything I said or did, and was constantly touching me. We rode to her school, and the whole time in the car we talked, and I didn't say a single word to my girlfriend. The dream skipped and we were inside her school. I sat by her on the floor and my girlfriend sat in a chair a few feet away. The school looked very similar to my old Brookline school, and we were sitting in the main lobby. Heather suddenly started getting really close to me, putting her arm around me, touching me, etc. She sat right next to me. Eventually I put my arm around her. My girlfriend did not care in the slightest bit. My girlfriend left to go to the restroom(I'm guessing), and Heather grabbed me and layed down on the floor with me. At first the front of our bodies touched, I rolled over onto my stomach and Heather started to rub my ass. I guess my girlfriend started to come back so she quit rubbing my ass and she sat up. I told her I had to use the restroom. As I looked for the restroom my eyes felt really heavy and were closing very slowly, almost as if I was completely exhausted. I found the restroom, which was filled with dudes, so I just walked back out. I walked back towards Heather and I asked her, "Do you have a phone? Because I would love to keep talking to you." She said, "Oh, you want my phone number? Well, too bad because we aren't allowed phones in the school." I figured she lived in a campus type of school. The dream skipped and I was running for the bathroom door and I knocked on it(even though I knew it was a big restroom for many people). I slammed through the door and some dudes were saying, "Don't you hate when there's a little fuck who's fucking a furry?" I didn't know what that meant so I found a stall, pushed the door open, and a dude was standing there fully naked taking a piss. I said, "Excuse me?" He started to turn around and his piss stream was now hitting the floor. I said, "Ahh! Just tell me when you're done!" Which was irrelevant because I went into the stall next to him, lol. I woke up around here, and immediately closed my eyes again to go to sleep and I found myself in a dream almost immediately. I realized this had to be a dream! I became lucid for a second, but quickly woke up, lol.
