lucid

Highly fragmented. I remember driving down what was probably the Monumental Axis in Brazil. The enormous freeway was deserted except for 8 cars, 4 in each lane. In each of the cars was a faintly familiar figure from early experiences. The main person I was concerned with was my old girlfriend who shifted out of my lane and into the opposite lane. Now there are 5 in her lane and 3 in mine. I kept waiting for her to shift back, but she never did. I accelerated and left the group behind. The dream was silent the whole way through.

Dream #1 Amrapali Ambegaokar.


Im in my current house in the living room, sitting down on the couch, watching the beautiful Kathak dancer/actress Amrapali Ambegaokar, give me a special dance performance. After her perfomance, she sits next to me and we start talking about dreams. She asks me is it possible to share dreams, i tell her that yes it is in fact possible. (What a missed chance of a reality check) She mentions to me, that a friend of hers has a performance later, and that she promised her she will show up.

I thank her and tell her that i will try and share a dream with her one day.
(What a lack of awareness there for me) I hug her, and walk her to her car and walk back to the house and wake up.


4:30 - 4:45 am. I did plenty of subconscious training, and went back to sleep.


Dream #2 Giving A Lesson On Dreams.


Im talking to a very attractive European looking woman about dreams. She has a very lean figure, and looks very much in shape. She has slanted brown eyes, long brunette hair, and is wearing a tan sweater and some black pants, and black ballet flats. We are in the kitchen and i am talking to her about dreams. She wants something to drink, and i give her a orange pop. (Soda)

We sit down at the kitchen table, and i tell her..

"Anytime you are in your waking life, do you ever stop and ask yourself...where am i? What did i do a hour ago?"

"Umm noo not really why?"

Im rubbing my hawk coin looking at her, and say to her..

"Because this is a dream thats why."

"Really? Everything feels so real."

"Thats because our minds are wired around what is suppose to look, smell, taste, and feel real. Does that drink taste real?"

She nods her head. I tell her to start doing more reality checks in her spare time such as asking herself, what did she do a hour ago, what day is it, and how did she end up where she is. I tell her that pretty soon she will be on her way to achieving lucidity much more often.


Dream # 3 Stop Him!


Im in some meeting with a group of men in suits. Im projected as a White man with short black hair slick back, and wearing a dark black suit. Im staring at these different files on the tables, and noticed a file that said..TOP SECRET INFORMATION. It was in big bold red letters. I ask one of the men to pass me that file so i can take a look at it to make sure its the right document. A man hands it to me.

I jumped thru a window and it shatters. I hear a man yelling

"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS WAITING ON, STOP HIM!!!"

Im running down a crowded street and project back as myself. I run thru stores, buildings, and finally find my hideout and set the file in my dresser cabinet and wake up.


Final dream frag: How is your reality checks going?

I just remember talking with one of my dream characters about how to properly do reality checks. I remember her being a female and thats all i remember.

[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I’ve only slept two-and-a-half hours but I’m already beingwoken by my neighbor’s contractors. They are loud and moving about not far frommy bedroom.

[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I’m suddenly aware of fans sitting in bleachers on the edgeof the room, and most are cheering for me. I look down at the clothes I’mwearing and find they are bright blue. I suddenly become lucid, rememberingthat blue is my dream sign (as listed in my workbook) and I touch my shirtwhile looking down at it. My hand becomes blue, absorbing the color from theshirt like a paper towel absorbs water, and I start laughing. I can’t believemy hand is actually blue! I turn it this way and that to make sure it is real,counting my fingers and finding all five are in place. [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I can’t believe my RC actually worked, and the wonder of itmakes me feel like I’m about to lose my dream.

I’ve never been one to standout and perform, even hating being inside the gym in high school.

[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I drop my gun, which looks something like a Tommy Gun mixedwith a child’s toy, white and plastic and cheap-looking.

This time I did a WBTB WILD, failed but was ok in the end.
4 1/2 hrs of sleep/Milk/Bathroom/Noise Meditation


1. I was in a big room, sort of like a cave, and by taking a weird pill I transitioned into a LD like phase, but not really. I could fly and do all the LD stuff but I was not LDing. Next I asked a friend Noah if he knew anything about LDing and he said "I don't know".

2. I was late for school even though I was already there.. I was worried and nervous. Some kid in my science class was playing a song on his/her's laptop. And I recall it being about Madonna wearing a condom.. Next I ran to the lunch room to get some food, and there was a lot of people there. There were dvds on everybody's seats it was weird, their was also a little packet of cereal on peoples seats too. I then ran out of the cafeteria after eating my food and took my DVD. Next I teleported and somebody was getting arrows shot through their head.

3. I got caught writing in my DJ and some boring kid named Michael from my school came and stomped on it after he through it on the ground. (Weird thing is I got caught writing in it today and told my mom it was my science homework, she thinks I'm doing drugs or something)

4. I was in a huge parking lot and I knew I was dreaming. I made the dream see through my waking like eyes and it worked, I had HD vision and I told my friends from my school bus I was dreaming, and I think one of them said "aw cool". Next I ran up some stairs for no reason, I guess I was excited. After that I ran back downstairs and tried to summon a girl, it failed the first 3 times but in the end I summoned 2 of the same girls but they were the wrong ones.. So I was like 'meh' you guys take these 2 I'll summon another one. I ended up waking up because I closed my eyes, maybe it was a FA but I'm not sure so I won't say it was.

5. I was in BF3 and I found a little glitch where it allowed me to move a vase and climb to the top of the building and I could snipe people. I got up but I didn't kill anyone as my gun was not a sniper.

6. I was in a different game, but similar to BF3. My team had to spray the other team with water until the time is up. My team won and I gave my teammate a high 5.

7.My mom said "Do you hear your dad? You shouldn't have went downstairs" And I said "I only got milk"

I was with some people I've ever seen in my life that my family was in the dream, we were in an amusement park in Belgium at night. The part of the park that we were was full of poor houses of wood, resembled to Hogsmeade, a member of my family tried to climb one of the houses because it was an attraction and was closed, but when he tried to climb it came out backwards by a shock.

I stopped to think how this amusement park was familiar, I reminded it of several of my dream. So I was lucid, but when I became lucid I woke up, I tried to sleep again to return to the dream.
I was walking down a road to leave the park at night, until I decided to go back. I went to the control room and there was some guys from my school, they were playing Warcraft 3 on their laptops.

I was in a department store in a mall, although it was modified somehow into a type of factory. There were robotic machinery installed in a certain section of the mall. I know I was talking to a few of my DCs, though I forget the conversations. The guy I was currently talking to was showing me what they did to him. They had cut off half of his lower left leg and given him a metal cybernetic one instead. He didn't like it, and there was no reason to do this, his leg was healthy. I don't know if "they" were the machines, or someone who was operating the machines to do this to people. After he told me this, the eyeball machine spotted me, that I was normal yet without modification. It hovered directly over me looking down, and asked me what I wanted replaced. It had a sharp curved knife like attachment on its robotic arm to do the procedure. It was like, "we can cut off your arms, legs, or your nads. Choose which one." I'm thinking hell no, I choose none! I start getting really angry, and I turn into the Hulk!



Of course you can imagine what happens next, "Hulk Smash!" I rip down the machine hanging from the ceiling and smash it. Then I start smashing a major portion of the department store, looking for more machines to destroy. My DCs are all cheering me on, because I am defying the machines and paying the machines back for what they did to my DCs. It was so cool to be the Hulk, and I'm roaring alot while enraged, trying to find the evil machines. I'm not sure exactly, but I think one of my DCs also turns into a hulk as well, and we team up to do battle against the machines. As we get closer to the main factory area, "they" send forth their mutants as well. Their mutants are all green monsters too, but not Hulks. The biggest mutant was shaped like a giant egg, with a mouth stretching almost the whole width of its body, sharp teeth, and had many tentacles for arms. The mutants rushed us. I grabed each one as it approached, and threw each mutant back at Mr mouth as ammo. All it did was open its mouth and swallowed each mutant I threw at it. I think it ate 10 mutants this way, that was all of them. It grew bigger, trying to hold all them in its stomach. I got closer to the mouth mutant and grabbed many of its tentacles while struggling with it. It resisted long enough to get close to me and swallowed me too, well mostly. I went to 3rd person view and seen my hulk hands still reaching out from inside the creature grasping its jaws.

I must have became my normal self again, standing in front of the creature. I wanted to help my Hulk that was still trapped inside the creature, and struggling against it from the inside now. I don't think the creature had "room" to swallow me, because it didn't try. As I contemplated the creature, I learned something profound about its stomach, that it wasn't what it seemed to be. The other hulk was still circling the creature, I guess it was trying to figure out how to attack the creature without being eaten as well. My dream was about to end but I remember starting to force its jaws open with my hands in order to release my hulk again. Then I awoke.

I was in some weird Hotel type place. It was kind of nice. I was with a girl, and the Mob was after her. I started running down the dark hallway outside the rooms. There were rooms to my right and my left, but I could run in a circle around the rooms on my left.

I kept turning the corner waiting to see the mob. Finally, I turned the corner and saw them. I kicked at least one guy. He was gone.

Then I was going back to the girl when I heard a noise. I started running around the corner to find who was there. I turned a couple corners and nobody was there. On the third turn, maybe the fourth (which wouldn't make sense), I saw two guys with guns. I stopped. They had me. They shot me, though I never heard or felt anything.

Next thing I knew I was on the ground...but I wasn't dead. I started realizing I was dreaming.

The two guys started kicking me. It didn't hurt, but seeing their feet coming at me was a bit disconcerting. I thought I would grab their legs and pull them down with super-strength. I had trouble doing that, but I was using my will very positively.

Dream skip

I'm with the girl alone. she reminds me of a live anime character. She is quiet and has dark hair. She is someone I knew from school. I begin making love to her.

Somehow there is now a blondish girl. She eventually turns into another dark haired girl from school. She acts innocent, but I rip her tight clothing off.

It really doesn't want to come off. I want the other girl more, but I struggle and get this girls clothes off. Her body is devine.

Once her clothes are off, I position myself so that she is behind me and I am making love to the first girl. I do that for a bit.

I realize that even with my good fortune, you are supposed to do an RC. I look at my hand to stabilize. I have 5 fingers, but my hand is distorted. I go back to the girls. It is fantastic, but soon I find I'm trying to screw some kind of false device. It isn't working out so well anymore and my dream is over.

Somewhere along the line I had a false awakening, but it didn't phase me. I think it actually led into my lucid.

Epic

Dream Start:
I started off in a hall way,a LONG,NARROW,constricting hallway like this:
but darker.I am with my two Friends Alex and Kayla.(Note:I am in love with Kayla in real life.)We are all talking and we teleport on my command to the park that is next to where I live(There is TWO parks,one for kids,one for dog walking,we were in the dog park).And Alex starts to raise is phone and says "Look." I made the mistake of looking and he was watching porn .And for some reason he laughed for a short time and After he laughed I laughed hysterically non-stop and Kayla asked "What?What so funny?" I snatched Alex's phone out of his hand and while still laughing,showed it to her.She reacted in a way I thought she would not have reacted like,she looked at him with a weird smile/"Why'd you do that? face" While still laughing I used my Lucid "powers" to "freeze" her and relive me laughter try to go up and kiss her ,but when I was centimeters away I felt a slight headache and she unfrozed ,I question what just happened to myself and looked at Kayla.She looked back thinking the same thing.Then I saw in the corner of my Eye a sillouette oh a woman of a resemblance of the woman who ALWAYS RUINS AND ENDS MY DREAMS . Then I woke up.
Dream End.

I was back in my college days in my dormitory. It was Sy-Phi hall. That was pretty cool, some of the dream is vague but I'm going from my room to the food court. I'm walking down the side stairs, there was a set of stairs on the opposite side of the entrance room as well. The door opposite the entrance is the entry to the food court. I head in. As I'm wandering around with my tray gathering food, I notice it is much larger than in real life, like 10 times bigger. Most of it is unusually dark as well, the lighting isn't right. I hit three different food buffet areas, and my plate is piled high. I'm wondering how I'm going to eat this all. Now I'm looking for a place to sit, most of the tables are full, but I see many DCs who look familiar. I even see Ann walk past me, an old not-girlfriend. I keep wandering a bit, ending up in the back corner to the right where it seems a bit dark. I can't believe how many people are in here, but I grab an empty chair at a round table where there are only 3 DCs at. I ate about a third of the food on my plate, mainly the pasta and salad. They had some really good looking chocolate desserts there, and although I got one, I wanted to sample some more. I should have made a RC here because of the dark (and because of Ann), but failed. I did make a choice to lift my glasses, and found out why the room seemed so dark, I had sunglasses on!

A scene change interrupted my eating, although I was still walking around with my tray. The room disappeared and I was outside now, although some tables still lingered. Many displaced DCs were heading off somewhere now. I found another place to sit and was going to eat some more, but something was happening where I had to get up again. Leaving my tray there, I made my way over to gate in a fence. It had chains on it but they were loose and people could get through. This one gal caught my eye, she was pretty and had wide hips. I thought she wasn't going to be able to squeeze through the narrow gate, but she was able to.

Although I didn't go fully lucid, I grabed her and started stretching her hips so that they were even wider. I was manipulating the body of a DC in my dream. Her hips were over two feet wide now and I figured that was about as far as they could go. I had the feeling she liked what I was doing to her, even though I don't remember if she said anything to me yet. It felt sexual in nature, what I was doing to her by stretching her body. It felt natural to continue, so I put my hand down her pants and felt her up. At this time, I definately remember her moaning with pleasure.

Another DILD last night.

The first part was vivid, but the rest was an absolute blur. Probably for a good reason (My listing method was in effect somehow). Anyway, something happened that made me question if it was a dream or not. I walked away and did a nose-plug RC. I experimented with it a little, kind of fascinated. I can't remember anything else. I probably lost lucidity at some point.

Around 6am (or so) I awoke from a dream (think it was about fighting) and looked at the clock. Figured I should try a WILD and see how it goes. So I rolled over on my back and just...just...laid there with my eyes clothes and already relaxed. After 10 minutes or so I rolled onto my right side. Soon the mental chatter faded away and there was a void (I've never achieved this state in meditation - though I've tried). I don't remember when I stopped feeling my body or when the dream started. I'd say I was semi lucid.

I didn't see my usual dream signs.

So anyway....the dream was about a trip we're planning in a couple of months. My mom and I were visiting family down south. She was overly excited and annoying (LOL)! It was hot outside so I went in to wash up. But first I stripped my shirt off in the dining room as I head toward the loo. But a supermodel was in there. I knew it would take a long time before I got in. So I went back for my shirt but it was gone. Outside, my mom and her ex husband were showing off a red headed baby. I walked up and held her finger. She looked at me like she knew me.

Next scene my mom and I are driving through town and stop at McDonald's for rest and a quick bite to eat. She's holding up the line talking nonsense. Telling everyone we're from Tennessee when we're not. As I'm trying to get our orders right it starts to rain/hail inside the restaurant. Pretty soon we're getting deluged so we run to the car for shelter.

Not much else happens after that....cuz...ya know...the dog jumped on my bed.

You know what was weird? Being semi aware of my body lying in the bed. I really noticed this state when I woke up. It wasn't a jarring transition. But smooth as if I simply slid out of the dream into full consciousness. It's much subtler than I thought. I expected bells, whistles and someone screaming "You're Lucid Now!"

Still need to work on RC's. Wish I'd remember to do them more. A series of them perhaps. Cuz they don't always work for me.

I just had an extremely unsettling dream. I was put in a mental hospital [ considering I do have depression issues irl ] and we were put in groups of ten kids. The whole hospital just seemed like a big elementary / middle school.. our 'teacher' was a huge bitch.
I remember my good friend August was there too, strangely.
We were on our way to go to a pool, I guess, and me and a friend I had made there trailed behind. Weirdly, the 'friend' was someone I used to hang out with as a kid. Her name was Jordan. Anyway, Jordan and I were talking, and she persuaded me into a plan. A plan to kill the teacher and escape this hell hole.
We went through with it, and she killed one of the other 'students'. We ran outside with August and another unknown male and I saw my mother. another kid ran out and yelled at us, telling us that the camera's were on, we're gonna go to jail. I wasn't taking part in killing them so I figured I'd be okay, but Jordan decided it was best to kill ourselves instead of get charges pressed...she pointed the gun at herself and killed herself. Then August took the gun and pointed it to me and said something along the lines of "It's for the best, Hayley, we'll miss you".
I tried to tell him I'd take the charges and he wouldn't listen. I waved goodbye to my mother and turned around, putting my hands up and closing my eyes. I was shot and I fell to the ground.
The most unsettling part was that I could feel myself being sucked out of my body. Leaving it. I could fly now. I remember also praying and apologizing to God [ even though I don't hold a religion and I was previously a Satanist for good reasons ]. I remember looking at my mom and she didn't cry.
I kissed her on her forehead and thats when she started crying, even though she couldn't see me. I guess my dog, Sasha was there too, and she was whimpering and staring at me and trying to lick me and I pet her and kissed her forehead too. then I woke up crying and my hands were dead cold [ and my hands are NEVER cold ].
I have no idea why I had that dream. ):

I was going though some dream about school. I can remember this girl who asked me out last year was really mad at me for no reason. Then my friend Aaron came and pushed me down for no reason.
I got up, and thought for a second. I sort of uttered "Why am I at school on a Sunday?" I screamed it the second time. "WHY AM I AT SCHOOL ON A SUNDAY!!"
I became lucid at this point and started to walk to my class. I believe that I screamed "I'm dreaming!" a couple times to affirm it in my head. I got into the classroom, that was mostly empty. I started feeling my teacher's desk to stabilize the dream. I can specifically remember touching a tape dispenser, a stapler, and a bottle of hand sanitizer. I think I even went as far as to use the hand sanitizer.
The dream was super-vivid for awhile after, at least as long as I was able to get to the stairwell at the other end of the hall. I went into the stairwell and I saw the girl from school I have a crush on.
I kind of fell down the stairs on top of her.
I decided to try and ask her out because this was a dream and it would make good practice. I did my best to be confident, and actually did a pretty good job. She said something weird back like "asi-de-hug". I can remember the last word was "hug". I started to chase her around asking her things, and she just kept saying that. The dream got really unstable after a little while and I woke up.

I love falling back to sleep on wekeends. This totally made up for the sad feelings I had during the previous dream.

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Falling back into sleep following a previous dream I findmyself back in my room at my mom’s house. I’m sitting on the floor andlistening to my stereo. In my lap is my stuffed Poof Dog which has been with mesince childhood. [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]In a flash I suddenly become lucid and remember the Task ofthe Month, though I don’t think of the words. I simply remember that I’msupposed to bring my toy to life. My Poof Dog grows in size and becomes alive,and I stand up because he is too bouncy on me.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I immediately want to test his abilities so I open the doorto my balcony. He follows me through the door and we are now looking over myback yard, about eight feet below. This is a pretty high jump for a person evenwith the soft grass below, and I suspect it might also be high for a dog withshort legs like he has, yet something inside me believes he will be just fine.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]“Jump!” I commanded him, and I waved my arm in anexaggerated sweeping motion. He squeezed in between the support beams and leaptto the ground below where my friend was looking up at us. My friend seemsunsure about this move, and she says he might get hurt. [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]“He’s fine! See?” I say to her as he briefly stumbles andthen walks towards the back door of the house, wagging his tail happily. “Iknew he could do it because you can’t get hurt in the dreamworld.” Poof Dog stridesright in the back door and bounds up the stairs to return to me. I pat him onthe back as he licks my other hand.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT="Calibri"]Then my neighbor slammed his car door outside mybedroom window and I woke up.[/FONT]

This dream was powerful enough to affect me even after I woke. I still have the visions from this dream in my head. The moments of lucidity were both realistic and surreal. I feel lonely after dreaming this.

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]A friend and I are walking around downtown at night.Something serious has happened and we need to get off the street, get tosomeplace safe. I know I’m not in danger but my friend is. I knew she was indanger and needed to get as far from the situation as possible, so I decide weshould head to my mom’s house.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]We go to the house I shared with my mom back in the 90’s yetthe house still appears as it did then, with a few additional rooms that neverexisted in real life. I send my friend into a downstairs bedroom to clean upand change and my mom goes to get a few things to help her out. I head upstairsto get cleaned up myself. [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I begin to undress, knowing that my door isn’t fully closedand quietly hoping that my friend will come into the room. I glance over myshoulder several times to peer at the door but it never opens. I am a littledisappointed but it doesn’t make me sad.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]No longer dwelling on the door I head into my walk-incloset. The light inside works and the closet seems quite spacious. Along theback wall I have several pairs of underwear hanging from small lingerie hangers,and it is these that attract my attention. Nearly all of them are lacy and colorfulwith blue trim, and I know a couple of them didn’t belong to me. I recognized acouple pairs as belonging to a friend from several years back, though I neverfigure out how I got the underwear.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3] I hold up several,trying to decide which one I want to wear. I like the stretchy lace and how itcurves around my butt, and I wonder if my friend will like it also. I am stillhoping she will come upstairs and into my room.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]After what feels like several hours I head downstairs and I findmy mom leading my friend to the front door. Her belongings are packed up in abrown suitcase and she is wearing different clothes than before. A brightyellow top sits rests on her shoulders, allowing a decent view of the top ofher chest. Below she is wearing a blue denim shirt, short and above the knees,which complements the yellow of her top.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]What is really striking about her is her hair. She hadpreviously been a brunette but in the time we spent in separate rooms she diedher hair blonde and put blue streaks in it. This has the effect of transformingher into a new person, someone I can only recognize in the cheeks and eyes. Ifind I really like this hair color on her.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]“You’re…leaving?” I ask with undisguised sadness.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]“I think I have to.” She tells me this at the same time shelooks up to meet my eyes, and it is clear she has been crying. Her eyes are notred and puffy but tears are gently rolling down her cheeks, and I admire herflawless skin. As we look into each other’s eyes I can see the pain in them,and I realize she loves me as strongly as I love her.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]My mom continues to lead her outside and around the side ofthe house. I tag along close behind, wanting to hold my friend’s hand butafraid it might make things too hard on her if I do. The sidewalk we are onleads us to the back of the house, through a hallway and on into a garage witha sleek black car in it. Again my friend and I share a look and she says shedoesn’t want to leave but it would be better if she did because not only wouldshe be safe but so would I. At this moment I don’t care for my safety, I just don’twant her to leave.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]As I walk around the car I suddenly find myself in thestreet, staring at the vehicle parked along the curb. I recognize the car as aRussian Zil, though it is considerably shorter than the typical Russianlimousine. As I stare at it the car moves out into the street as if it canglide sideways. This is confusing but I realize it must be my mom’s fault andnot me changing perspective.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]“Why did you park the car out in the middle of the street?”I look at her with wonder and ponder how she thought any other car would beable to get around her vehicle. I know old people have a harder time parkingclose to the curb but this is ridiculous.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]She is about to get into the car to move it and drive myfriend away when the car begins to fade, as though it was a phantom. Theghostly image of the car becomes lighter and lighter and in less than tenseconds has disappeared completely. I am upset and freaking out, but it’s notthe disappearance of the car which bothers me. My friend has gone with the carand I am mad and hurt that I didn’t get to say goodbye. I feel wronged that shehad to leave at all, and I want her back.[/FONT][/SIZE]
