lucid

DILD (nap)

I was in the passenger seat with Giles driving a car at night. He was really high and decided to not steer for awhile. I grabbed the wheel and yelled at him to drive. He decided not to break either. Someone in the passenger seat reached up to hit the break with his foot. We were coming up to a turn too fast and we needed to break. I yelled, "BREAK!" and then "harder, harder!". Eventually I put my foot over his and slammed the breaks. We turned into a gas station. The car next to us had the cabin exposed from the front. Giles got out of the car, hit the next car, and passed out inside. We tried to get him out as a cop showed up. I dipped out because it was hopeless at that point. He was getting a DUI and I was arguing with some other guy at the gas station.

I was involved in some sort of tussle when I became lucid. I flew around for a minute and ended up in the back of some car. I take a blue and white lucid pill. I can't swallow it, so I grab some coffee from the front seat. It was pretty gross, and the pill was still hard to get down. I start flying around again with little success. Without any targets to look at, I fly for a bit and then fall back to the ground. Every once and awhile I can see a gas station or restaurant sign and fly to that. But I end up just landing on my stomach, barely reaching the top of the target. Eventually I got to the top of the gas station. I was trying to think of a way to fly better. I took a red and white flying pill and vividly imagined the sensation of flying. I built up my confidence. And....no luck.

For awhile every I try and fly I hit some black cables that are impossible to see. I will fly out from under an overpass, but for a few yards outside of it, there would be a series of black cables that I would clip, lose my momentum, and then fall to the ground. At some point I am getting chased by two big guys. I keep trying to fly away and failing. Eventually I see a large red mars in the distance. I focus on pulling to toward me, and I can fly. However, as I approached it, it was only like 8 ft. above the ground. I land on my stomach on top of it and pull myself up. They guys are still within reach so I try to fly from my little 6 ft. diameter planet. But when I jump off, it gives and I don't get any launch.

I find some girl in a gas station and I approach her. I give her a flirty smile and start kissing. She is into it at first. But the I bring my dick into the situation and she refuses. I head back out and try flying around some more.

After awhile I am around a friend of mine and we are on a beer pong team. I look who we are playing against, and it is that girl. I go up to her again and whisper that we are both hot so we should do this. Again, she is into it at first that then backs off.I lose lucidity and start playing BP. They have a normal rack, but we have like 5 cups and 4 bottles of beer stacked on top of the cups. I was wondering how to play with this set up. The girl's teammate said, "It is like an active volcano against a passive volcano." At the time, I understood it as he can't really make our cups because some of them are bottles so we were passive. I lost the dream soon after

My grandmother allowed my sisters and I to stay at her house and watch TV until her favorite shows came on. Ten minutes before her favorite show airs, we pile into her car and she takes us to a hospital. We didn't go inside, we just walked around the grounds. The hospital looked like my old house, and the hospital was next to Barry Street. Barry is my father's name. I was extremely confused for a moment in the dream.

On the hospital grounds an old man was performing a marriage ceremony for two cats. We met up with my parents. My sisters decided to go into my grandmom's car, and I my parents'. I realized in the car that my sisters were being driven straight home, while my parents were going out to Lowe's. Inconvenient, since I had to pee.

I have no idea how I became lucid. I did the noseplug, and that was successful the first try. By that point it was very dark, I thought maybe I had woken up. I tried imaging myself rubbing my hands together—nothing. I was afraid of moving my real body or fully waking up. I decided to move what I thought was my real hands, and rather than feeling friction, they felt tingly. I was still dreaming. I stared at my palms, and I managed to stabilize my dream a little. I then counted my fingers, and there was an extra on my left hand.

I remember also reading text as an RC. I was on a crowded bus; someone had hairy lumps on his chest/chin. I don’t remember what device I was reading off of, but when I glanced at it a second and third time, the sentence that initially made sense turned into nonsense. I decided to float out of the roof of the bus.

I also decided to crawl around the place, it helped a little in stabilizing my dream more. I felt a little bit of sensation on my limbs, but not as much as I would expect. I had to focus on how everything feels in order to feel any sensation.

So I decided to do some metal bending. I did it simply with thought, and don’t do any cool moves with it, so it was not as exciting as I thought it would be. I decided then to fly. I sprouted wings and took off. I couldn’t feel my wings, and had to focus on their movements if I wanted to feel them at all. I felt no air movement while I was flying. I flew around a fort, and I saw some monster decoration on the ground. I saw two other men flying with bows and arrows. I began following one, but then realized that I could summon my fiancé! I saw a portal next to me and threw myself into it, tumbling. I was in darkness again, and rather than stabilizing I decided to wake up.

The dream started with me being in my room, I was in the middle, hidden in a pile of strange stuff, it looked somewhat blueish. A lot of people were coming in but I had the whole room filled with poisonous gas while pinching my own nose (and not noticing I didn't even have to breathe...) so they all died while I just waited there, until the S.W.A.T. came in to stop my evil deeds. They had guns and stuff so I had to came out, I was supposed to kneel on the bed, putting my hands on my legs so I couldn't do anything bad anymore. I complied but I didn't really care, and a moment later I started to RC for fun, the first time in a dream I was looking at my hands as a real RC.
Look at the hand: 5 Fingers
Count the fingers one by one: 6 Fingers...
Look at the hand: 5 Fingers
Count the fingers one by one: 6 Fingers...?
It started to hit me I was dreaming, I tried to see the 6th finger and there it was, in between my thumb and my pointing finger. Suddenly I was on a weird cliff in space, trying to stabilize through the WSS. However somehow it got swallowed up by a passing asteroid, and my lucidity along it. The asteroid was apparently dangerous to a planet which was close so I crushed the asteroid into fine dust with whatever ability, I have no clue what I did. Then the dream became hazy and I only remember random stuff with a weird species, then I fell back into sleeping, probably non-REM.

Spoiler for Improvement Notes:

Got lucid through a new reality check - good
Immediately tried to stabilize - good
Fell back into the dream - very bad

I randomly became lucid when I was in this tall office building. I honestly can't remember how I became lucid, but I immediately left the one office I was in, to go outside and play. I wish I had remembered to do the 5-sense technique that Hyu and I had talked about yesterday. I didn't need it for stabilization, everything was nice and clear. I just wasn't very focused on anything, other than getting out of the building. So I think things went kinda fast and I wasted the dream. Still, I'll post everything I remember. As soon as I opened the door, I entered the stairwell of the building. I could see EXIT signs, perfectly neon green, with odd clefts down the center. Like someone had tried to bend them in half. They still worked fine though. So I went down one flight of stairs, and reached a hallway which appeared to be the bottom floor. On either end of the hallway were doors with EXIT signs above them. There was a small window on each door that I could see sunlight spilling in from, so I knew it would take me right outside. I just needed to choose left or right. I went right, and opened the door: an identical stairwell as the last. I repeated all that and chose the right door again. Same thing. This happened 3 or 4 more times before it dawned on me to go LEFT. As I headed toward the left door, I noticed that something had eclipsed the light coming in the window of that door. It was a person! I got scared, I don't know why. The door opened and a creep asian dude came toward me slowly. I shrieked, but not in a scared way exactly. More like you shriek when you're playing chase with someone, and they suddenly get you. So I started running away backwards up the stairs, and he kept following. I kept screaming and laughing, and he backed me into an office room. I'm still lucid at this point, but too wrapped up in this game to change anything about it. Oh well. So he's coming toward me, and I'm backing up against the wall, but I'm having horrible dizziness and coordination. He's holding an overturned martini glass, and starts pushing it toward my face, smiling mischievously. I just flick at the glass with my fingers, to get it out of my face, when he flips it over, and it fills with a green martini or something. And he says "Ta-da!" Before I could even say dah fuq, I woke up.

I've noticed lately that I'm having these random DILDs at the same time I would be having my previous DEILDs. I noticed that when I wake up and go back several times like I always did, I'm not remaining still. I open my eyes, and turn over, trying to get comfortable, and part of the reason I'm doing this is because it's getting so hot now. I'm going to get another fan and see if that helps. Not that DILDs are bad, I just prefer DEILD's.

dream
lucid

i was living in a smaller house my daughter was a teenager, we were in the front yard playing with my dog i realized that i do not have a dog and knew i was dreaming. i told my daughter this was all a dream and asked her what she wanted to do and she said nothing she was having fun playing with the dog and me

I was hanging with a friend, let's call them "M". For some reason there had been an event which caused M to lose all memories of the last few years, wiping all knowledge of who I and her other friends were.

M was going slightly crazy, she was getting all the Christmas decorations out in May and setting them all up in her house, me and the other people there were practically yelling at her wondering why she was preparing for Christmas in May, but she didn't seem to care. All she questioned was who we were, what we were doing in her house and what business it was of ours.

We continually got frustrated while she was running around the house finding places for all these Christmas decorations, as more were placed we decided to go along with the Christmas in May idea, but request that she at leasts follows our traditions. She stops everything that she's doing and stares at us before saying, "You tell me you're my friends, yet there is no evidence of that... why should I follow traditions that I don't even know?"

One of my other friends, "E", gets upset. She runs out of the house and M huffs and gets back to putting up the Christmas decorations. Soon everyone else besides me leaves, trying to look for E and comfort her.

That's when the entire dream kind of... resets. It was almost like a false awakening but the dream just bounced right back to the beginning of where it started, only this time, it was just me and M. I start questioning the reality of the situation and before I know it, I'm lucid.

I hold my hand out and inspect the 8 fingers I have, before M turns around and starts laughing manically. At this point I don't think I truly had time to understand what it meant to be in a dream, I was maybe at Layer 2 lucidity. I panic because of how evil M is sounding and try to back away and walk through the wall to escape, only the wall remains solid.

M runs for me, leaping on top of me and a knife appears in her hand. I try my best to will her out of existence, or will myself to another place, but the best I can do it repel her off of me but she just runs back up with the knife in hand and starts stabbing my arm.

I give up on lucid powers and somehow manage to grab the knife from her hand and try stabbing her. She starts laughing again as I thrust the knife down but it just bends as if it was plastic, no damage was made to her at all. In my shock, she gets the knife back off me and starts stabbing again.

The pain shooting through my arm is so realistic and I can't seem to focus on anything. I close my eyes and will myself to be somewhere else.

The pain stops, I open my eyes and I'm back in the waking world.

(i do not remember much of this dream)
as i do my RC i count 6 fingers, i decide to complete the process with a nose pinch, it confirms what i already know, i am dreaming, the only other part of this dream that i remember is trying to fly (i do not remember the setting or if i was successful or not)
when i wake up i am surrounded with a harsh reality, i revive the news from my Dad, my Uncle is dead.)

Woah I've been naughty with the dream journal. Naughty as in not posting my non lucids. Bad ophelia.

Anyway, I was attempting my (formerly) usual DEILD, and there were just too many things waking me up... coughing kids dogs .. it's a holiday today. So around 10:30am, after yelling at Chris to let the dogs back inside because they were barking, and all but giving up on the DEILD, I began to drift off. Then I can't tell if this was real or not, but I heard the sound of a car hitting its breaks, and it lasted unusually long. Like 10 seconds maybe. I just kept listening, waiting for the car to stop screeching and be ok, or hear a crash. I heard a BIG BIG crash! I remember feeling sooo heavy and lethargic, and I wanted to get up and go check for hurt people. Almost felt like sleep paralysis, but not quite. I went straight into a dream, but didn't realise it. I was still thinking of the crash though, and found myself talking to my boss, Claudia, about it at work. So there I was in the bakery, and we were all "Ohhh, did you hear that wreck?" And she started to say something about some regional bakery members in reference to the wreck, but it made no sense. I said "Wait, what? Say that again?" And she just walked off toward her computer. I thought for a second, "That made no sense. I JUST heard that car wreck from my bedroom, but now I'm at work?" DOH! Lucid.

So the dream immediately went all snowy, but I remained calm. I followed Claudia, asking her to wait and talk to me. Hoping that would stabilize things a bit. I could barely see, so I was just following her in my mind, since i know that bakery like the back of my hand. I looked at my hands incidentally, couldn't see much through the technicolored snow. But I could hear and feel around just fine, so I went with that. I made it to Claudia's desk, and sat on the floor for some reason, trying to get her to tell me more about the wreck. Nothing. I stood up, and my vision came back. Now it was Chris on the computer, and he handed me a post-it with some writing on it. "This is the grocery list Mommy." The only two words on the list were: carrots, frosting. I laughed and said, "Oh, so you want carrot flavored frosting?" He said "Nuh uh, ewwwww." And for a split second i was going to indulge this part of the dream, and go shopping around the store for damn carrots and frosting. But then clarity hit me again, and I said, "No I want to play!" So I went down the back hall towards prepared foods department, hoping to find on of the hot chefs that work there. I felt the front of my jeans, and sure enough I had big boy parts. I got to the kitchen but it was empty. So I just messed with myself for a bit. Something I don't think I've ever mentioned before, but when I feel it, it doesn't exactly feel like it's mine. Like it's attached to me, but I don't get alot of sensation. It still turns me on, like if I were touching another guy, but still not the same. So I had the thought to lick my hand. That changed everything. (If this is getting to be too much, stop reading. I'm trying to be vague, but still.) It's like I woke up a non-existent proprioceptor, in a non-existent fallace. A true phantom nerve.. except usually people feel that when they've lost an appendage, not when they've never had it to begin with. Small detail, but noteworthy nonetheless. Then I noticed my assistant manager appear in the kitchen. We'll call him E. Now I've dreamed about him before. I don't particularly like him, but if I were single and desperate. And possibly drunk. And if it was dark, then I might do it once. At any rate, lucid desperation also counts for something, so I said "Yoh E, come here." He was rushing around and said "Ok, gotta do something first, brb." I said "No you don't, COME HERE." So he did a 180 and ran into my arms. Felt incredibly real, like I was really holding someone. I remember the feeling of his shirt, it was this ribbed black polyester, but was flowy and breathed nicely. Vision was still a bit snowy, but I was 100% going on physical sensations now. He went straight for my neck, and started biting it in a really sensual way. Fuck yeah. I told him to grab it, and he started jerking it really fast. I was in heaven. He kinda stopped for a second, as if he wanted to go ahead and have sex, but I said "No no, keep going.." He did. Dream faded. Woke up.

Still don't know if that car crash was real or not. I went outside but I didn't see anything. Cool dream.

I have to say that the day that I had this dream I was visiting my family, so I was sleeping in the room that I slept since I was a kid to 2 years ago when I moved to the city that I'm living now.

Non-Lucid part:
I'm somewhere with my mom and my best friend D.
I'm going to an interview for a job related to psychology in few minutes.
My mom complains about my clothes because they are wrinkled.
I am using a gold social shirt, that I don't actually have.
I fix the shirt and go to the factory, I'm there. I'm in the entry of the hangar where I should answer to a questionary.
From the gate I see one woman inside the building and she tells me that there is a door in the right side of the building.
I do how she said and enter in the building. There is a computer inside of it where I have to answer the questions and I start.
I remember of answering some idiot questions like "What is the origin of your name in your opinion ?".
One cousin of mine appears next to me and start to disturb me and I get worried about don't having enough time to finish my questionary. I tease him calling him "big-headed" but stop doing that because his dad is near. I think "why didn't I come early ?" but I get to finish it and go out from that hangar.
I go to a square near from there and meet some friends, including D and an aunt of mine. They are near to a bush breathing (not voluntarily or not knowing what was that) a gas that is coming from beneath of the bush that causes visual and olfactory hallucinations. They are all saying things like "what a crazy smell" and "I'm high".
I knew that was the gas that was causing all of that things, but for some reason I didn't tell anyone and I couldn't feel the effects like them.
I start flying around like crazy asking why I couldn't feel it.
It's not the first time that I have this behavion in non-lucids when I get angry.
D calls me and says "Come here that I will show you why you can't feel it" and goes start to go to outside the square running, I go beside him flying.

Lucid Part:
I find myself in a street not too near from that square. I'm lucid that I'm dreaming.
It was not a high lucidity level.
I start floating around the streets with not much altitude and the dream starts to fade. I stabilize it.
I want to go to the top of a building and want to do it by jumping, I jump once but not too high, jump again and almost get it, but before falling to the floor I start swiming and get to the terrace of the building.
I'm always repeating "It's a dream, It's a dream" this time.
Over the building the dream fades out very fast and I start spining my body when I couldn't see anything but darkness. It leads me to a FA.

FA:
I wake up in the room of my house feeling "a little of SP", my hand is feeling weird and a big part of my body is dorment.
Some seconds after I wake for real in a completely different position.

PS: After writing the dream in my DJ I realized that the square of the dream is very alike to one square wich is in the way of the bus I used to go to work everyday.

Dream Stats:
Went to sleep: 00:10am
Duration: ~30min (25 non-lucid / 5 lucid)
Woke up at: 4:30 am

I've been slacking on my DJ ;A;
But I'm starting back up! I promise!
So I've had like 5 or 6 'becoming lucid' moments since the last time I posted, but I always just fade to black immediately.

Last night's dreams:

I was at my school(?) and I played a song. I became famous and millions of people came to listen to me play. There was much more to this dream, but I don't remember it. It was nice, though.

I did a reality check and became lucid. I reached over and grabbed onto someone, trying to feel of their hair and their glasses so I could anchor myself, but I still faded to black very quickly u.u

I was at school and had been assigned some sort of story to write and my friend hadn't done it yet.

I was walking down a street and came across a 3-way redlight (the same one in I had in my non-logged Legend of Korra inspired dream) telling MaximumRevolver about that dream. Specifically, that I was walking and was stopped by a policeman when I tried to turn left instead of right. He tells me he thinks he saw my dad and my stepmom, but I tell him he didn't, and he asks me if I can hear him. I say yes, and he says he wants to talk quietly about something (I don't remember what. We were talking about something while walking down the street before we came to the redlight.)

I had initially slipped out of a dream and into a false awakening, which I managed to pick up on and immediately woke after realising it was a dream. I wanted to get up anyway and write down the dream I just had as this night I had only recalled one dream, but I decided to take a chance, sacrifice remembering that dream and DEILDed back into the false awakening.

I was initially sure I wasn't in a dream as I didn't feel myself fall asleep from the DEILD, but I performed a reality check anyway and realised that I was in fact dreaming!

I pulled myself up from the bed and everything was blurry and spinning around me. This time though, unlike my other lucid dreams, I remembered to perform stabilisation techniques. I rubbed my hands together and spun around but it didn't seem to be working at first. It felt like I was looking at the world through a fisheye lens that was incredibly zoomed out. It was really disorientating.

I blinked after performing a lot of stabilisation, and after the blink things became the most vivid they have been in any of my lucid dreams. I walked out of my door and to my stairs, where my Dad was standing at the bottom. He begins walking up the stairs as I'm walking down them, and I decide to just push him back off the stairs so I can get by, just to see his reaction. He kind of stumbles, looks at me funny, and then walks away.

I walk into the living room, it's dark in here but I walk through into my kitchen area. I get annoyed at the darkness so I try to use powers to turn on the light, but nothing seems to be happen. I flick the light switch and the light starts flickering dimly but I still can't get it to turn on.

I decide to walk outside, when I open the door I notice that it's actually daytime outside, roughly mid-morning. As I'm walking I notice that I don't have any shoes or socks on and get worried that the discomfort of walking on the rough ground with bare feet would wake me up. I look away from my feet and conjure some shoes and I become excited when it actually works as this was my first conjuration. Though, despite this, I'm still feeling the rough ground as if I was bare foot.

I remember that I could just fly into the air, I jump up and still don't seem to have full control over flying as I can't sustain it for long and land back down on the grass. I try again and this time manage to float up to about as high as the roof of my house and stop briefly to decide what to do next. I decide I want to go exploring and when I fly up to get a view of my surroundings I seemingly uncontrollably begin shooting up into the sky at high speed until I'm above the clouds. I look around and notice an interesting looking area, with bright red roads and tall buildings. I fly down to it and look around the area, it seemed to be a school of magic or something, there were students inside the buildings brewing potions and practicing spells. Still not having full control over flying, I'm kind of "drifting" as I turn corners and can't quite get the hang of stopping when I want to. I stop briefly to try and find to find a balance before flying back over this school building and to my house.

Upon landing, I remember my dream objectives list and the top one being to try some dream food. I hold my hands out and look away, trying to conjure a plate with a sandwich on, only I don't get the sandwich and just end up with a plate. As I continue trying to conjure the sandwich onto this plate, the plate seems to develop a life of its own and it's jumping out of my hands and gradually growing in size with each attempt I make.

I turn around and see my mum glaring at me, I'm kind of disturbed because of how aggressive she looked. I walk up to her and she immediately lashes out, grabbing the plate and trying to pull it from my hands. I resist for some reason, and then think "If I can't conjure myself a sandwich, maybe I should just ask a dream character to make it for me?". I asked her and her aggressive attitude immediately changes to a smile as she says "Sure!". I let her have the plate and she begins walking back into the house and I'm following her, when the dream quickly fades to black. I try stabilisation techniques but it's too late and I woke up.

Funnily, I awoke precisely 3 minutes before my alarm would be going off. It never ceases to amaze me how precise the body clock can be.

Type: DILD (FA)
Clarity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

I was in a dream. I remember it having some sort of red theme to it. All of a sudden, a thought sprung through my mind. "Wait, is this a dream? I could be dreaming!" Excitement rushed through me. But then the dream started to fade, every time I would blink I would see my room, illuminated by the morning sun. And then, the dream was gone.

"No!" I thought. I layed there for a second where I awoke, staring at the wall. But then somehow, a pixelated line ran across my line of vision. "What the heck?" I thought. "Wait... what if this was a false awakening?"

I did the nose RC and I was lucid! From where I was laying, I sat up and tried to get out of bed as slowly as possible. I stood up in my room. It wasn't as vivid as I had hoped.

I wanted to stabilize. But I forgot to do the crawling technique. So I just looked up at the ceiling and shouted, "Give me more vividness!" Nothing. So I tried again. "Vividness, now!" Then I tried, "Clarity, now!" Nothing.

I don't remember doing much in my room, or how I got outside. But I remember walking up through the grassy field, not really looking at anything but trying to find my Dream Guide. I felt that I wanted to fly just a little. So I pushed off the ground as hard as I could, but I didn't really get anywhere. It was just like jumping on a trampoline really. So I tried again, this time with more gusto. While in midair, I closed my eyes and imagined me floating. Sure enough, when I opened my eyes, I was hovering about 2-3 feet above ground. "Pretty cool," I thought. But then again, I've always done this in dreams. I glided a bit up the field, then landed.

I saw a group of people inside what looked like a plastic space ship looking thing. I entered it, and yep, there were indeed some people dining. I saw a group of people and decided to go talk to them.

I approached them. They all looked at me. I can't remember what I asked them, but I think it was something about my Dream Guide. They shook their heads. I also asked them about one of my fears and how it could be solved. One of them sighed (a fairly skinny lady with brown hair, and wore a red dress with dangly earrings to match), and mumbled something. I don't remember what it was.

The dream sped forward again and I was at my school, still lucid. The same woman in the red dress was here, but she had a sour look on her face. She didn't like me for some reason.

There was a ton of people on one of our soccer fields, probably having a party. I saw a group of people and I walked up to them and see if they would tell me something. I don't remember the things they said to me, though.

I remember running up to the soccer goal, and a soccer ball was in front of me. I yelled, "Soccer!" and I tried to kick the ball as hard as I could. But something stopped me.

I then lost lucidity. I thought that I had woken up at my school. "Darn it!" I yelled; unaware of the people still around me.

I never regained my lucidity, and woke up.

I am in a store area, milling about. I see people I know, and people who know me see me. I go to the bathroom in a cramped metal stall that I barely fit in, while people continue to approach me (side note, Why to people always approach other people when they are on the toilet in dreams, I know it doesn't happen to just me.) I finish and head to the exit, not seeing anything I particularly want. As I approach the exit, someone catches my eye. a short, plump girl being followed by a persona taller than I am. (Persona: manifestation of a person's personality in the Persona series of video games) I walk up to her out of curiosity and ask what she is doing. She says she is buying books. We start talking. She says her persona is of the chariot arcana. I see a list in my minds eye of the arcanas, and see the picture of the chariot arcana, noticing she is from persona 2? (I'll have to look that up, I've never played persona 2) We talk for a bit, while she looks for books to buy. She offers to heal me with her persona. I agree. She commands, "Persona" I start to see nothing but a dual colored void. then two personas emerge from the fiery walls of the void, kitty's persona, and Mitsuru from Persona 3, I am shocked to see her, as this is about the fifth time I've seen her in a dream, but the first time I've been semi-lucid. They perform Cadenza, a healing spell from persona 3 that requires two persona's. They disappear, the flames fade, and I am returned to the scene at the store, overcome with a powerful love for all things. I fall to my knees and hug kitty for at least a minute, nothing seems awkward about it. I regain my senses, and allow kitty to regain control of her movement, She seems happy, and ready to make her grand exit. She walks through an exit to the store that is too small for me to get through, and on the other side says something that I don't remember, because I was thinking about how easy it would be to follow her, plus I had forgotten her name at this point.

I shrink my body so I can fit through the exit she used, and hop into the passenger seat of her oversized car (that might have been oversized because I was tiny.) I ask her to remind me what her name was, as we pull out of the driveway with me halfway in the car with the door open. "Kitty" she says. we continue to the checkout and talk a bit more, she doesn't seem mad that I ruined her grand exit. I want to continue dreaming, but I don't want to forget this experiance. plus, I realize, I've been supposed to wake up for some time now. I give a mental sigh, and wake myself up so I can write down this dream.

dream : comments : lucid

28th of May, 2012


Took a Galantamind pill at 8:45am and was convinced that I was gonna fail coz I was awake for so long.

There was basically no non-lucid portion here; for all intents and purposes it was a WILD without the WILD. I'm also starting to get better at controlling that 'ever forward' sensation of lucid's where you kind of have half control and the other half is just pulling you around. Or is that just me?

Anyway.

I got out of bed in a house that was completely different to my own. "Aw yeah!"

It was kind of unstable and I was really keen not to wake up so I was just strolling around and chilling. There were people sleeping in beds in all the rooms but I didn't explore too thoroughly.
Mum came out but I basically ignored her and kept walking around. At some point in my exploration, a miniature gorilla thing came out of the doorway and I immediately thought "Hm, why not?" in reference to the basic TotM (better late than never!) so I just jumped at the little guy and appeared in his body. I looked at my arms and legs and it was instead like I was wearing a gorilla costume and still had my shoes on. I decided that wasn't good enough so I did a backflip out of his body and jumped out the window to start my journey. I was higher than I thought and a bit surprised, but I'm getting much better at flying so I kinda fell with speed into the ground across the road.

SMASH!

I slammed down into a toy tricycle and then ate some grass. (Mzzck mentioned something about this stabilising technique once, and it's completely infested my dreams so I can't help but do it!)

I looked around at my surroundings and was, as always, humbled by how amazing the dream world is. It was a beautiful day with birds singing and lovely warm sun. Where I was standing was out the front of a garden nursery and I walked in and looked at some flowers before mum came out of the house and said something to me. I took that as my leave and jumped into the sky.
It was really 'pully' and I didn't have any physical control; kinda like I was on the end of a fishing line or something. But I just went with it and flew backwards and forwards before going extremely high. Probably around a kilometre.
There was an ordinary town below me and I couldn't help but think that down there, a million DC's were just living out their odd little lives without me knowing.
Anyway, I asked to be put down and began descending on the suburb. I landed in an ordinary back yard under someone's clothesline.

A group of young people were playing with their dog and they didn't seem to notice me. After they went inside, I followed them in via their laundry door. It was really empowering to do this. Like breaking and entering without any consequences! I walked through their house following them but when I turned a corner into their living room, some dude came around at the same time and looked at me. I jumped straight into his body and this time felt it be more successful. It was like I was his shadow and slowly closed in on him.
I walked after the other group and met them in the bathroom.
It was two girls, who, on closer inspection, were two of the same guy in drag.

I put my arm around them and looked in the mirror and saw that I was still the other dude. Success.

At that point I felt myself breathing in real life and realised I was waking up. Lay still for a DEILD.


I came to while washing my face in a basin. I looked in the mirror to my left and pulled a weird "yeah!" dream face then went out.
I was in a courtyard out the front of a house. It was quite quaint, if not a little cluttered. They had a grape vine running along a trellis on the roof. I instantly began searching for a prism so I could do an experiment with the sun I'd seen earlier. I have no idea where this idea came from- guess I'm just a naturally experimentative kinda dude.

I looked in a toolbox and found one but it was all scratched and curved instead of straight. That's never gonna work. I tried to reform it but it was unsuccessful so I went into another house and found a proper one in a kid's bedroom.

Strolled back outside and sat on the road, appreciating the sun and it's warmth again. The sun was behind a tree which was moving to keep blocking it so I walked up the road a bit to get a clearer view. There were a group of thuggish looking guys ahead so I threw some sand at them for funsies and then commanded them to just watch what I was doing instead. I got the prism and positioned it so that it cast the spectrum onto the sidewalk. It was a pretty successful representation, but was obviously just my mind creating it; I don't think light actually exists in dreams to be altered. I played around with the prisms positioning and it went through a range of pretty incredible things. At one stage it was a glowing, ringed, rainbow planet among a multicolored nebula/aurora. Then it split back into the colours except each one had a different world on it.

At that point I entered a dream within a dream, which told the backstory of these different planets. When I came back, I was in a slightly different position at a building site.

I remembered that my brother had asked if you could do stuff like bending roads in dreams so I decided to give that a go. I was standing on a gravel pathway with wooden skirting boards and forced it to begin bending. Instead of being smooth, it was quite destructive and began cracking and breaking while changing direction. Like it would in real life, I suppose. I decided I wanted to try on a proper road so I went off to find a good curved street. Now that I'm writing this, I realise I could probably have just made a straight road bent instead. The things you think when you're actually awake, huh?

I went back up to the road and was jumping around clapping my hands, which I take to be this dream's version of a hand-rub stabilisation. It actually worked really well because as well as the physical sensation, it also gave off sound which helped.

As I walked down the road there were a bunch of trees that had been chopped down so I gracefully jumped from log to log just for the sake of it. As I was doing that, some girl in a crowd said "I want to be an actor".
"Do it!" I replied, "you're beautiful!"

Feeling cool about myself I kept going on my way.

I couldn't for the life of me find a curved road. Every one that looked curved was straight when I got there (I suppose that means I was being successful in my attempts!)

I went on quite a long journey down streets and came to an avenue with beautiful green and red trees arching the road, which I jumped up and grabbed the leaves of. The buildings here had really interesting architecture and shortly I came to a squat little building complex. There was a delivery guy at the back of his van getting boxes out so I happily walked past and pushed him into the back!

I came to a sign that said something like:

____________________
| <-- Office Journey --> |
|____________________|
||

But it wasn't exactly that.
To be honest I don't remember what it said. I just wanted to draw a sign.


Anyway I went to the right and was at some kind of learning institute. I kept looking round and round for curved roads and ended up in a dodgy back-area with loading docks and stairs and underpasses which eventually turned into a very L.A looking crowded street.
There was a girl standing near a billboard and I went up and said "Pretty smoggy, huh?"

She said that it was actually the 'bloom' and when I looked closer the smog was millions of little glowing insects. At that point I decided I'd better wake up otherwise I'd forget all this stuff so I woke up watching a YouTube video. And then I actually woke.

Whew! That's a long one.

Looking back, I realise that most of the lucid dreams I've written have been due to Galantamind. That shit definitely works, but I do worry that I've become reliant on it!

Better than heroin I guess!

So, these are a collection of dreams I had last night, this morning. I didn't wake up at all last night, don't even remember my alarm. I woke up kind of early, planned to stay up then went back to bed and had a lucid dream.
These are kind of in order of vividness/lucidity.

Btw, from now on:

RED=Lucid Dreams

Dream 1
I wake up pretty early, 6:00ish, and walk around a bit, for 15 minutes. I decided to go back to sleep, I didn't feel like I had just waken from REM sleep, although looking back, it kind of does seem like it. I lie down in bed and close my eyes. I get sleepy really fast and enjoy the comfort of my bed. I roll over my bed in go into sleep paralysis(?) This is strange because I never had SP happen in any other position but my back. It was in my head this time, a familiar buzzing noise and intense vibrations. I roll over and come out of my SP. I go back into SP on accident again, but on my back. I'm the calmest I have ever been during SP, and I peacefully watch my Hypnogogic Imagery. I don't remember what I originally saw, but I tried to visualize a grassy, sunny field. My eyelids turned into the blue sky, this was very enjoyable and peaceful. I began walking in my field I created and I saw this window-type thing. It had a dream inside of it, and I had no choice but to enter the non-lucid dream.

Dream 2 occurred earlier in the morning
We are a the bus stop, me and [my brother] We are drinking some illegal drug in liquid form, may be opium tea. The Bus driver knew what we were drinking, and had a talk with us, we try to escape the police. I am at my uncles, in his room. There is a jar on his desk labeled, "Poison" I think it is a very strong alcoholic drink, and there are what appears to be ghosts swimming inside the jar. He says he needs it for his pain. I am back with my drink again, it is deep brown and is in my tan pitcher. I add some nestle hot cocoa mix to it to make it last longer. lol? I boil it down in a pan until it is brown and caked, this resembles opium even more. It also resembles half cooked brownies stuck to the bottom of the pan. I eat it all and I realize I am out of my drink and need to buy more. Although I think it is relatively cheap and has many servings. IRL I buy this instant peach iced tea mix, that is also brown, has many servings and is cheap, probably what the drink was based off of.

Dream 3

[Friend 1] Gave me his hang glider. He said he bought it with his own money, and nobody knows about it. wait, wtf? He says he uses it to fly all over Brunswick and Topsham. Topsham is my town I live in, Brunswick is the neighboring town. I was playing around with it and wrinkled it a little bit. I thought to myself it would unwrinkle itself, but then also thought that humans also wrinkle, but never unwrinkle themselves.

Dream 4
I was on my front porch, when I spotted a prescription bottle through a hole in my porch. I picked it up and the medicine had a weird, but simple name (sodium or calcium something) My father walks over and tells me that the bottle is his, and the medicine feels like a painful orgy. I have already stuffed the pills into my mouth, and I'm now spitting them out onto the ground in big white chunks. The pills were round and represented percocets, sorta. My father was trying to explain that they weren't abusable, and he just needed them for his pain, he said he was in a lot of unbearable pain. Although he says they aren't narcotics, he seems like he's trying to justify the use of narcotics.
Really weirded out by this dream, "painful orgy", is such a weird analogy, but it seems like it almost fits for a narcotic drug, I'm not sure why, haha. This also adds to my reoccurring dreams about drugs.

Dream 5
My mother was telling me my father couldn't see me anymore, he may come up to see me for one of my appointments though, because it required shorter time.
Not sure what this dream is about, it is separate from the last one though.

Dream 6
Me and [GF] were cuddling on her hammock, she was laying next to me, and we could have been making out. She tells me someone is watching us, and I feel like we're doing something bad all of a sudden, and then she tells me she was just joking.

Dream 7
I am with my brother at an E3 show or something, and these people are talking about video games, and different types of video games. They show us the group called the "Elder Scrolls", and it has all five games together. My brother reminds me to watch this trailer of a game coming out, which combines Morrowind with Skyrim's Graphics. I tell him I will, but I secretly planned not to, I told him I wasn't a fan of video games.

This is strange because I really don't play video games that often, but I have been playing the elder scrolls series a lot recently, especially Skyrim and Morrowind. The dream may represent my guilt for playing so many video games recently, I try to stay away from them and do other things.
