    Lucid Dreams

    1. Why did I want to help him so bad?

      by , 03-28-2012 at 04:44 AM
      This dream has not only messed up my sleep but also left me scared knowing I couldn’t understand how I knew this boy. So if you can, please help me.

      I had a dream that I was sitting down on a bench, inside what I thought was a hospital. Because I could see the check-in counter on the right of me and a doorway next to it on the left which was completely black inside. Everything had a light purple tint to it for some reason. And there must of been a window behind me because I could see the daylight shining on the check-in counter. But the line of light was going further down the counter with each passing second; I knew the sun was setting. My peripheral vision was limited to only what I could see in front of me. I knew I could not turn my head, but I did not want to either. I knew I had to keep my eyes on what was in front of me though like a feeling of instinct. And then to no surprise someone appeared in front of me. It was a boy around my age standing with his back facing me, looking at the blackened doorway. He had semi-long coal black hair and a dark blue t-shirt on, but again my vision was limited and I could not see below his waist. I knew I had been waiting for him - waiting for him to come for me. The details were not clear, just as every dream mostly isn't. But I knew exactly what I was feeling and thinking - also knowing I was asleep. I knew that I had been waiting for him there, and he was choosing not to come to me but stay where it was he came from. And I knew something was wrong as I began to feel my heart drop into the pit of my stomach while staring at the back of his head. Either he was hurt or someone was trying to keep him there. He went of his own free will, but not for the right reasons. Feelings like that hit me over and over again until he began to walk away. That's when I finally let all those emotions out and began furiously crying. Crying and screaming so hard that I could feel my throat aching but yet I could not hear anything. I knew it was coming out and I knew he could hear it but I could not hear it myself. I wanted to follow him and go to where he was leading but my feet wouldn't move. I had to just stand there and watch him walk away. I immediately woke up to feeling so sad that I could not help him. So I tried to lay back down to see if I could dream of him one more time but could not. After that night I began having no dreams at all and still cannot. Is it because I couldn't help him? I just don't understand.

      [Side-Note]: I do not know any other men in my life but my Brother, Father, and Uncles. I am a home-schooled student so there is not many males in my life except family. Because many told me it was either a crush of mine (which I do not have) or my brother. But my brother has brown hair and is not in any kind of trouble since he is also home-schooled. So who is he and why was I so scared to the point of tears that I could not help him even though I couldn’t even see his face?

    2. Short lucid from a while ago

      by , 03-28-2012 at 02:50 AM (Taffy's Sweet Dreams)
      I was in an arcade playing pop'n music. The machine was a combo of a bowling game and a pop'n music game. I did a RC and went lucid, but stayed and played a round just for the heck of it. Then I lost lucidity after that.

    3. 27 Mar: Sex with WakingNomad in Neo Tokyo

      by , 03-27-2012 at 11:17 PM (Lucid-schizo-dreamer)
      non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

      I am at Neo Tokyo. A nuts is on the streets saying out loud that there are demons coming from the underworld and walking among us as normal people. I know he i telling the truth, so I tell him I believe in him, but nobody else does. I stay at a little jap house in an alley, where I make (or was it there already?) a hole under the wooden floor, which is an entrance to the underworld.
      I am preparing to go down there and fight some underworld demons when WakingNomad appears at the front door.
      I already have my legs on the hole and he tells me to be careful not to stay like for too long like that, or the demons below might attack me. So I come back to the surface, welcome him and we sit on the tatami floor, talking.
      Don't recall what we talk about, but we get pretty close, pretty friendly and we end up making out. We get naked and we have sex on the floor. Then we are interrupted by some of his ex-girlfriend or current girlfriend, who followed him there and is totally jealous. She is a bit annoying, worst than any demon and ruins this dream for me.
    4. Naked LD :)

      by , 03-27-2012 at 11:04 PM
      Well its my first LD for about 10 days. I read a post ages ago about how being naked in a lucid makes you super aware of your body so decided to try it out... Here's the dream.

      It started out with a false awakening (most of my lucids start with a FA) and I can't remember the dream before this or why I became lucid. I got out of bed and it was dark like they always are So I opened the door and it made it light in the next room.

      I was trying to decide what to do when I got another FA. I almost got fooled this time but did a nose RC and realised I was still dreaming. I have a cold and half my nose is blocked in RL so when I did my RC I could only breath through half of my nose

      I rubbed my palms to stabilise and walked out of the dark room again (just like before) and couldn't for the life of me think of anything to do. Then I remembered the naked post and thought it would be pretty cool to try. I love the thought that there are no social rules in LDs and couldn't wait to see some DCs reactions. I walked downstairs and for some reason all my younger sisters friends from years ago were sat in out living room. My sis was also just turning up, apparently visiting for the day.

      Everyone acted like me being naked was just normal. I told them it was a dream and I was naked but they just kept talking to each other as if nothing was unusual... Then I told my wife who was answering the door for my sister. She also blanked me so I decided that since I was already naked and my wife was there... well she ended up pretty much naked too... but the excitement woke me up 5 seconds into it lol

    5. 3/26-27/2012

      by , 03-27-2012 at 09:45 PM (The Labrynth of the Mind)
      Challenge Course Level 1

      I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Since it is the middle of the night, I think it is probably a good idea to do a reality check. I plug my nose, and find that I can still breathe. I pinch my nose harder to be sure, but since I can still breathe I realize that I am dreaming.

      I look at myself in the mirror for some reason (I don't exactly remember what the mirror had to do with it) then I go out into the sunroom. It is now daytime, and I think of what I should do. First, I try to summon monsters to fight, but nothing happens. I try this once or twice with no luck, and then walk into the kitchen. I remember the challenge course, and realize that this is a great opportunity to try it. I try to create the first chamber around me, and end up using a technique of walking out of the kitchen into the pantry, but with the idea that the next room will be the first chamber of the course. At the same time, I seem to be a little outside of the dream, because I can imagine my surroundings a bit more freely (at the cost of some vividness of the dream).

      I find myself in the chamber, but already standing on the ledge that is supposed to be high up above me. The chamber is like a large cavern, possibly with water and plants but at least very much like a cave in nature. Across the cave from me on the wall is the door to the next chamber. It it smallish, and square, more like a large window. It is also higher up on the wall than I imagined, and already opened. Around here I either wake up or lose lucidity.


      Boats and Computers

      I am driving somewhere at night. I have to park my car some distance from where I am staying, and walk along a partially wooded path. I start down the path, but then I realize that I could just as easily be driving my car down this dark path. I turn around and head back to the car, just making it as I hear some voices nearby...

      ...Somehow I find myself on a boat, in some marshy area. There are places where there is open water, and I am discussing how the boat is built so that one can use it even in the shallow, overgrown areas. In one area I stop to fish...

      ...Somehow I find myself in a store, and my father is looking at computers. He either wants to buy one, or wants to find a good video game to play. This becomes more involved, but I don't remember all of the details.
    6. Task of the Month!

      by , 03-27-2012 at 07:38 PM (Ophelia's Book O' Fun II)
      I was starting to get worried. Been having a lucid dry spell lately, and the end of the month is just around the corner, but a lucky DILD saw me through it!

      I was in our back yard with my son around dusk, and for some reason I brought out a large fish bowl with an odd creature inside. It looked like a white cat that had wing/flap thinks similar to a sting ray. It was dead, but perfectly preserved in the liquid inside the bowl. My son asked "What if it's still alive mommy?" I said "It can't be sweetie, it's been in this bowl, dead for years." Then the creature's eyes opened, and it rotated around in the bowl slowly to look at us. The eyes blinked a few times, and I could tell that it was breathing inside the liquid. I was thinking about how to save the thing's life, and then HOW the fuck is this thing even alive? And I said "Oh, it's not, I'm dreaming wooHOOOOOO"

      I immediately got up and started pacing, way to excitedly. I remembered the last DEILD chain I had where I kept waking up because I didn't calm down. So I looked at my hands for about a minute, turning them around, and calming down. I always have the most perfect manicure in my LDs, I don't know why. Love it. I remembered that I wanted to do the lucid task of the month before the month was over, so I looked on the ground for a shadow. Fortunately, even though it was late, the backyard flood lights in my dream were working, you know, the kind that makes you have like 5 different shadows. So I squatted down on the ground and grabbed the middle shadow by the foot, and ripped it off. The shadow began to slowly crawl up the side of the house, then it darted around the corner to the side of the house. I chased it all the way to the front yard and caught it. But then I started to get blind in my left eye again. I even tested it: I closed my left eye, I could see just fine. I closed my right eye, and I couldn't see at all, and I could feel the dream start to slip. So I clapped my hands and yelled "More lucidity, and more LIGHT please." It came back a little bit, but it was still kinda hazy. Then I woke up.

      I should have looked at my hands again, or looked for a mirror. I'll remember next time, I'm getting good at remembering what I need to in my LDs.
      I'm super proud of myself, the last task of the month I accomplished was back in 2005 or so, when Seeker challenged us to chase a duck. And even then, I think I was only able to form one out of clay. Don't think I actually chased it.

      Note to self: I fell asleep around 2am, woke up at 7am to feed the dogs, went back to sleep at about 7:45, and woke up from the LD at 11am.

    7. 3-27-12, Lucid :)

      by , 03-27-2012 at 05:26 PM
      Going to do this a bit backwards and write the last dream of the night first since it was my lucid and my memory wasn't great last night. I had migraines and trouble sleeping, so I had aleve and benedryl in my system, generally mucking up any chance I had of remembering the stuff from the first part of the night.

      Dream Four: I'm at Walmart with my husband and my daughter. We're looking for that paper for preschoolers with the ABCs printed on it that you trace to learn how to draw your letters. For some reason we're looking in the pharmacy. We keep finding loose single sheets in the bins, and even a book that's been broken and ripped, but we can't find anything new and still in the package. I recall there being some stationary around the Electronics department so I tell my husband we should go back there and look. He grabs my hand and we start walking towards the electronics department. I think he's pulling the buggy with his other hand, then realize I don't hear my daughter and look back to see he's not. I freak out that he left her, and he says he'll go back and get her he's sorry, and to just go ahead and go look for the paper. I agree, and then walk towards electronics. I walk past the toy department and see my son with my mom picking out a toy, but keep walking on a mission. I find the paper, and then my husband and mom both show up with the kids in tow. Then either time skips or I'm missing the events, but the next thing I can remember I'm getting my Daughter out of the car. I'm in a garage, and our car is a black SUV. I set my daughter down and realize somethings off. I don't drive a black SUV, and we don't have a garage. I call out for my husband to get over here quick! He asks what's wrong, and I tell him, "This is a dream! I'm dreaming, or we're dreaming. I'm lucid!" I'm practically jumping with excitement. He shakes his head and just looks totally confused, so I just tell him to watch the kids. For some reason, after my daughter being lost earlier in the dream I just can't stand the idea of walking away from them even though I know they're only dream characters. I run out across the yard and onto the road. I notice that our house isn't even on our road anymore, instead it's about ten minutes away in the fields next to Drum's (a local restaurant). I want to fly, so I try hopping, skipping, and jumping, with no luck. I'm annoyed, but think it's ok, if I can't do one thing, I'll try something else! I think to myself, I'm going to pull a magic wand out of my pocket and then I won't have to worry about things not working, because I'll have magic! But there's nothing in my pockets I get this bright idea that I'm going to go into the house and get my daughter's toy magic wand, that'll work just as well in a dream. I go inside, and into the bedroom. I notice that the room is an exact mirror image of my room in waking life. I find it cool how everything is exactly opposite of usual. Then I feel fuzzy headed and think, "Crap! I'm waking up!" but then when I blink my eyes and "wake up" I realize I'm not in bed, I'm on the floor. I think for a moment that I must have fallen out of bed, but then I realize I can feel carpet on my cheek, and my house has hardwood floors. I'm still dreaming! I get up and the room has made a 3/4 turn shift so everything is the wrong way, but I don't much care, I've already marveled over the room, I just want to go do something cool! I grab the toy magic wand off the bookshelf, then head back outside. My husband is still in the garage with the kids, and I tell him again that I'm dreaming, and he still seems confused. I shrug and go back out to the road. The house is in a different spot again, but I don't pay much attention to it. Instead I decide that my belief in this being a dream is just not strong enough to let me do what I want, so I'm going to prove to myself it's a dream and push it to the extreme. I lay down in the road in front of a Semi. I close my eyes and listen to it getting closer and closer, waiting for it to hit me, but knowing it wouldn't. I look up a few times, and the truck never gets any closer, even though it appears to be moving. I decide to try now to bring something into the dream. Knowing a wand didn't work, I try bringing in Renji from Bleach by visualizing since I had accidentally brought him into my last lucid that way. I figure if I can do it on accident so easily, I shouldn't have any problem doing it on purpose. Fail I get up and go back inside remembering that I was going to get a toy wand earlier. I walk into the room, grab the toy wand off the books shelf, then walk towards the door and start feel fuzzy headed again. CRAP! I wake up, once again on the floor, this time though I know it's another false awakening because I feel for the carpet right away. Unfortunately, I don't have the wand anymore, instead I'm holding one of those Sugar crystal formations on a stick.

      I decide to go with it, the dreams jumping around so much, rather than fight it and wake up frustrated I'll just do what I can with what I'm given. I take my magic rock candy outside, but drop it in the grass as soon as I step off the porch. I shrug, and pick it up telling myself, "This is a dream, there's no dirt on this thing!" then I take a bite, so at least I can be happy that I've tasted food for the first time in a lucid if I wake up without having done anything else. It tasted like grass... then when I told myself over and over that no grass was on it because this is a dream, the grass taste went away and it tasted awesome, just like the real thing I take a moment to look at the road again. This time, instead of being in the middle of a pale green and yellow field with a straight road in front of us, the house is sitting on a hill with the darkest lushest grass I've ever seen, and the road zig zags in front of the house. Sort of like an s curve in the road, only with sharp corners instead of curves. I set off down the road to my left, suddenly thinking I've accomplished something cool, I ate in a lucid, so now I'm going to go looking for K since it's been a long time since I've done that or even seen him for sure in a non lucid. I notice some teenage kids in the road across the street from the house, so I start by asking them if they know K and can take me to him. One kid grins all creepy like the Cheshire cat, and he tells me his older brother knows K and could take me to him, I just have to come inside and wait for his brother to get home. His creepy unnatural smile bugs me, so I refuse saying I'll wait outside. He tells me that if I don't go inside his brother can't take me. I tell him thanks, if his brother changes his mind I'll be up the road, but I'm not stupid enough to go inside. Then I start thinking to myself that maybe I could get my husband to take me to him since hes a dream character too and in previous dreams he's known who K was. Then I decide that it's probably not a good idea, seeing as how K's been my love interest in many a dreams, and just because he was friend with K in one dream, doesn't mean his dream character is going to be happy to take his wife to find another man, lol. So instead I keep walking and thinking. Hm, I read a post about controlling your lucids like a video game, and I carrying my 3DS around with me everywhere, maybe I could use that somehow? I pull it out of my pocket with no problems (In waking life, I always carry it in my bag, it's way too big to fit in my pants pockets. I envy how guys pants have so many big pockets to carry stuff in!) then I open it up, and look for a lucid dream game. No luck. But then I realize if I'm in a dream, maybe I can send a message to K with the swap note app and it'll go to whatever electronic devices his dream self may be carrying. As I walk I open up swap note, but don't recognize anyone on my friends list. Then I realize, no wonder, I'm logged in as my daughters Mii! So, I log off and log in as my Mii (you really can't do that on a 3DS, there's no log ins or log outs, lol) then I scroll on my friends list with this idea of what I think K's Mii might look like. I don't see a Mii with the hair I thought his should have on it, but I do see one with a really odd hairstyle that I've never seen on a Mii before and decide that has to be K because it sticks out so much and is so different from all the others. I've only met K in dreams, and he always sticks out. He doesn't feel empty like other Dream Characters, instead he actually has an energy like feel, like real people in real life do. I start to send a message to that Mii, but I find that there's already a message written to him, and assume it's from a previous dream, maybe when I was non lucid I tried this before. The note tells him where I am, but it's the wrong place, so I'm trying to erase it to write the correct place and I can not get it to erase. I'm surprisingly laid back in my dreams, and when it doesn't work the way I want to, I decide to find a way around it. I'm going to send a message to someone else and ask them to forward it to him. I find a random Mii, a female, and send her a message that I'm looking for K and to please have him get in touch with me. Then My 3DS turns into a phone, and it's ringing. I put it up to my ear and it's the girl I had messaged. I'm still walking down the road and am coming up on a house i lived in about 6 years ago, and the girl starts going off on me. She's telling me that I need to leave K alone, that he's working really hard to take care of his family and he's under a lot of stress right now, the last thing he needs is me expecting him to take care of me too. I'm both hurt and pissed by her statements, and I storm towards (and eventually inside) the house I used to live in while I fuss right back at her. I try to defend myself by saying I understand he has his own things to do, and I don't want him to have to take care of me. I just want to see him, and if he's trying to take care of a family, I'd like to help him. Then I hang up on the girl because she just keeps going on and on, and I get the impression that she's trying to get me out of the picture because she's hung up on him too, lol. I'm inside my old house, and I am walking around inside it looking for K.
      My lucidity is slipping, but I don't notice it, instead I just accept the dream fact that this house is now home to a bunch of squatters with no where else to live. I think that if K is struggling to take care of a family (not sure if this point if we're talking wife and kids family, or brothers and sisters family, lol) that he's likely to be somewhere like this. I walk out the back door, and see some people, but none of them are K so I just wave and keep looking around. I go to the front yard and up the driveway, then I see a black SUV driving up the road. I walk up to the road where the SUV has stopped. A guy with blond hair, but short cut and his face looks failure but is definitely not K, gets out. An older woman walks off the porch and up to the SUV. She starts laying into the guy, telling him he has no right to be here. Somehow K comes up, and I ask if the guys knows him. The woman says she's K's mom, and that the guy is his older brother that she kicked out of the house at the age of 5. I'm shocked she'd do that to her kid, but she starts saying he was always surrounded by women, even pregnant ones, and she was sick of all the hussies around her house. The guy is trying to defend himself saying she's crazy and off her rocker and he did no such thing, she just makes this shit up to justify what a bitch she is. I'm just like, "Wow, age 5?! How is that even possible?!" Then I decide this conversation is none of my business even if they do know K, they're not going to take me to him if they're fighting. I turn around and start walking back down the driveway towards the house hoping I'll find some other clue to K's whereabouts. I notice there are tents going down the driveway, and some people poke their heads out and wave at me. I smile and wave back, but then wake up. I didn't open my eyes and hope to fall back asleep and do a DEILD but I'm too excited about the fact that I was lucid and actually did stuff that I couldn't fall back asleep. I tried getting up and going to the bathroom then laying back down, no luck. I spent about 45 minutes trying to fall back asleep before giving up and coming in here to type all that out, lol.

      Dream Three: I dreamed that I'm watching from third person as a man (whom I understand in the dream to be myself) is shot by another man in the back and killed. Then I spend most of the dream watching as the other man claims that I was trying to kill him so he killed me first. Some people can see my ghost and I tell them what really happened, but then some police see my ghost and try to arrest me. I wonder what it's like for a ghost in jail, because a ghost has no life to end a life sentence, I'd be there for eternity, and I don't like that idea.

      Dream Two: My notes say Skylanders, so I must have dreamed of that game.

      Dream One: My notes say "Another" which is an Anime on Crunchy Roll right now. I just finished it yesterday, and it was REALLY good but since it was Horror and pretty disturbing, I'm glad I didn't remember this dream after resting the whole night, lol. I figured I'd dream of it because it was on my mind a lot and I wanted to re-watch it and see all the little Clues I missed the first time around.

    8. Lucid, Expectation Training, Long Dream

      by , 03-27-2012 at 04:43 PM (Robo's Dreams)
      I am a new initiate in the mages guild of oblivion. I am in a dimly lit guild hall, there are alchemy ingredients everywhere. I walk up some stairs, slowly gaining awareness unconsciously. I talk with someone briefly about a book they have in front of them. Everyone disappears. I am not suprised, I look at the book, it has a candle protruding out of it, and is slowly turning into a candle completely. I raise my hand tword the candle, I can see a reflection in the copper colored wax. I am amused at the ever changing distortions of the reflection.

      "You are Dreaming" I hear, from no particular source. My mind races to process this information, I realize it to be true, in a matter-of-fact way. I walk down the stairs, thinking about what to do, "Practice Dream control, Control your expectations." I hear again. I turn towards the front door, expecting to see someone rising up from an elevator. Serverous Snape ascends from the elevator, I have a few words with him and the elevator goes back down. I figure out what to do. I get in the elevator and expect to go to Oz. The elevator closes and descends. While in the elevator, I examine my expectations and realize I'm expecting it to be a terrible and nasty place, I try to change what I'm expecting, but only succeed in getting myself confused. the only thing I'm sure about by the time the elevator stops is that I'm going to oz.

      The elevator doors open and I am greeted with some cheery music outside. I see the yellow brick road extending into the distance, and the immediate area is covered with green healthy grass. Unfortunately, the non-immediate area is covered with purple diseased ground and red giant mushrooms about half as tall as me. Lightning crashes in the background, making the cheery music almost comical in a way. I smile at the absurdity of the scene and start walking down the yellow brick road.

      Just before I make it to the purple ground, I get a text message. I check it, and it's from, "Adventurer" I don't know who that would be. The message says something like, "where are you" or "what are you doing" I start to type a reply, but realize this person is probably nearby. I shout out in reply, "I'm in Oz, Where are you?" I spot them, A man and a child, both wearing cardboard armor with duck-tape on it to make it look like metal, both standing on a mushroom. I jump up to a mushroom next to theirs, intending to talk with them, but I see three monsters looking at me from a wall a good distance away. two about as tall as me knee, and one as tall as I am that has six arms.

      I jump over to confront them, a small one charges, I reach behind my back for a swrod... and grab at air (Doh!) well it's too late to think of a new strategy I figure, so I continue and say, "My sword is invisible!" and skewer the creature with energy hardened into a point, this is fairly draining to me, but It's not dead yet, I lift it, and sling it with my "sword" at a nearby wall. It crumples into a heap.

      The second one is raring to go, but I need some time to think of a plan, so I bluff a bit. I say, "you're going to die if you face me, just like the other one." this causes it to become a bit afraid, the bigger one pokes it's head and says, "if you don't go, I'LL kill you." I figure out what to do. I grab my right arm in my left hand and drop my stance. I start charging energy in my right forearm. I begin hearing the megaman X charge sound. The larger one starts charging at me I hear the level 2 charge sound, aim, BOOM! the invisible shot goes off... invisible because I just shot a blast of air that passes right through it.

      He grabs me and puts me in a suplex. we turn into a wheel and I get pinned. I wake up in the passanger seat of a car (FA) I look around, my phone says 8:58, I grab my dream journal, start writing down the dream, and then wake up for real.

      • True Blood Dream
      • 2 FA's about waking up and writing in my DJ
      • A tall, blonde girl has a crush on Noelle. The blonde girl and I are walkign outside a house. We both hear Noelle's voice from outside. She is immediately excited just from hearing Noelle's voice and wants to go inside. When we go inside, she starts trying to flirt with Noelle. I grab Noelle and start kissing her to show the girl that we are together. Noelle, a little embaressed and oblivious to the other girl's attraction, pulls away.
        Later, Noelle and I are in a bedroom together and I tell her that it hurt me when I was kissing her and she pulled away.
      • I awake in a bed, well a mattress on a floor. As I drowsily open my eyes, I see a chicken walking around my room. Unsure of where I am, I start calling first for my Mom, then my sister, then Noelle. Noelle comes in and I ask her why there is a chicken in my room. More chickens start coming in the house as well as cats, and one small rat. I go outside and there are lots of chickens there as well. I am afraid that one will peck me. As soon as I feel this fear, one charges at me, attempting to peck me. I leap in the air and land balancing on top of a pole, ninja style.
      • I am at a bank negotiating a loan. I explain to the banker that my bank is Citibank and is located in California. He takes me to another banker, but suddenly we are in the food court at a mall. His large bank-like desk is located in the middle of the food court. I tell him as well that my bank is located in California. On his desk are many tiny hats made of straw. Each hat has a country or state on it Since I lived in Cali, he tells me I have to wear the Cali hat. He gives me a little hat to wear that has a picture of a palm tree and the California Bear on it. I put on the hat and walk into the mall's food court. I walk up to a table and start talking to the people there, only to realize that I am wearing just a t-shirt and underwear. I realize that I am in a dream, but am not fully lucid. I decide I want to change my clothes and remember some tips from DV on dream control. I walk into the bathroom and take off my clothes. I decide I want to wear a blue halter maxi dress. I reach behind my neck like I am tying material and create the top of my dress. I guide my hands down my body and as I do, little blue particles come emanate from my hand and materialize into a dress.
      • I am following two people up a maze-like series of metal stairs and elevators. I got the sense that there has been some sort of apocalypse or disaster and they are leading me to safety. The pair is dressed in black and grey punk clothes and are both wearing hoods so that I cannot see their faces. They are connected in some way, but I am not sure if it is as brother and sister or as lovers. There are running faster than humanly possible. If I concentrate on them, I can run just as fast as they are with ease; if I look away, I immediately slow down. I look away and start to fall behind and loose them. I ask if they are trying to outrun me. They say no, they are trying to help me. They lead me up a final set of stairs then disappear into a crowd of people. A few minuets later, a large white man approaches me, trying to hit on me and puts his arms around me aggressively. I start pushing him away. Another man, a large black man wearing a cool jacket, tells him to leave me alone. The white guy leaves. I thank the black man and compliment him on his jacket.
      • Something about my sister and pink cupcakes.
      • Matt S and I are in a large thrift store. We are in some kind of Project Runway type challenge. We are given a rack of clothes that we have to deconstruct and use to make a new outfit. We do this for Matt, then realize that we have to make on for me also. We start mine, but realize the group next to us is doing something similar, so change our plans. This cause us to not finish on time. We have to show an audience our outfits next. I don't realize it at the time, but the clothes are constantly changing through the whole dream.

      Sunday, 3/25/12 Bed 11:40
      DR 2 am - LDing
      DR 3 am -
      WBTB 3:20 - 3:50 didn't fall asleep till 4:2O because of strong vibrations, I wanted to go OBE and fly in the rain so badly
      *** I was saying thank you for my dreams, can I please have a long and stable one***
      *** Day 3 of awareness*** in this LD, counted my fingers again after long time

      DILD 5:40 am from FA 10 min.long
      Started as a regular dream. Not sure about the sequence of events.
      Neighbors kid Ivan is at our place. My mom is giving him and my brother a bath. They are both about 9 yrs. old. They made a huge mess in the bathroom, 1 inch of water on floor, as they are splashing and having incredible fun. My mom sends him home. From my room I hear his dad yelling at him & Ivan is begging him not to get punished. Then he yells either at his wife or my mom for not cleaning up fast enough. I think, here I lay down to sleep for LD, or just lean my head down and going into headrush. I wake up lucid. I'm standing on my balcony, my brother, who is about 7 now (not IWL) is next to me. I'm trying to decide, what to do in a lucid. I decide to shoot some fireballs, since everybody seems to have this down and I didn't have any better ideas. So i fling my hands and out flies these fireballs, that leave a smoke trail (kinda like you can watch the path of a fireworks, before they explode). There is a lots of them, but they are tiny, more like fireflies. There are some explosions. I'm kinda satisfied. Now I decide to fly to the moon (I think I try to do this 95% of time when lucid). As I fly up, I realize, that there are 2 moons. One, with features we recognize, is above neighbors house in NNW direction, the other one, without any features, just a bright ball, is in NNE direction. >>

      Now I'm in a restaurant on top of the hill. There are 2 kids I interact with. Memory of this is foggy. We all walk outside and there are some pomello trees. We all love them. The fruit is beautiful and huge. But there is also a lot of tiny, not yet ripe fruit. I move some kind of a pipe that runs by the tree and down come a lot of cherry size, not ripe fruit. The waiter told me not to, he has some fruit ready to eat. He is upset by the mess I made. I ask for a bucket to clean it up. He gives me wooden crate and some rugs. I clean up the mess.
      (before bed, I thought about changing my job and becoming something else. I believe, this fruit I took down that wasn't ripe yet is a reference to me not being ready for my new job yet.)>>

      Then I'm walking with this young waiter. I ask him if he noticed 2 moons. He says yes and then I realize that I recognize him to be the person who wrote about it in the magazine. At some point he tells me to look at the ground (I remember from tutorials this to be one method of stabilizing). I'm surprised he said that, but I do it. Then there is something about a waitress, she just learned, that the other moon will crash to the Earth in our area, but she is not exactly worried.
      I continue walking with this waiter, who is now morphed into a little older guy and I feel there is more to him than meets the eye.

      WBTB 5:40 - 6:05 remembered the dream for a while, but didn't write it down.
    11. 25/03/2012 - FOUR LD's!

      by , 03-26-2012 at 02:19 PM
      This was a really long and interesting night for me. I went to bed late and quite tired, so I couldn't think of anything related to lucid dreaming, which just made me fall asleep. I only remember now short fragments of my dreams:

      1. Me staying in my classroom. About half of my class was there, along with a brother of an old friend of mine and an old classmate of mine, both of which weren't supposed to be there. The desks were arranged in a weird manner and they seemed to have round edges (while in reality they are just rectangular benches). A classmate of mine was sitting in my seat and he told me that about half the class wanted to go on a specific trip, but I knew that was untrue because most of them felt forced to go, being afraid of the teachers.

      2. I was walking with my girlfriend, and we were going towards some sort of family party (with my family). As we were almost there, my phone rang, and it was my girlfriend. It felt really strange that she was right next to me, and I was also talking on the phone with her (the person near me wasn't actually talking on the phone, so basically I was interacting with some clones or something), and I was wondering whether she was jealous because I talked to this clone of hers at the same time.
      When we got there I saw an older person whom I don't know that was really drunk and he said he was just "enjoying the moment while it lasted". I felt quite embarassed.

      3. The next thing I know I was in some sort of ghetto-ish area. It was very dimly lit, quite dirty, and there was really no one around. It slightly resembled something you can see in a Fallout game. I realised that something was wrong,and that I had no idea how I gotten there, so I told myself I must have been dreaming. I looked at my arm and two of my fingers were flashing (appearing and disappearing). I realised it was a dream, and I knew that the first thing I had to do was calm myself down and stabilize. Still, I had absolutely NO control on it, and my body started flying upwards. As I saw the whole area under me, the lights became really brighter and I woke up (in paralysis, seeing a skeleton sitting on top of me. More on this here.

      After I got out of paralysis, I turned around in my bed and went to sleep again, hoping I would sleep quietly until morning.
      The next thing I know, I'm somewhere in my town, close to a shopping mall and I spontaneously realise that I'm dreaming. I hold my nose and I can easily breathe through it, and once again I know that I HAVE to stabilize and calm down, but my body instantly starts flying upwards. The lights get too bright, I blink repeatedly in my dream and wake up (not paralyzed, this time).

      This exact dream happens again two more times, each time in a different area of my town, and with a different RC in them. In my first one I somewhere in my neighbourhood, and I looked at my hand and saw 6 fingers, so I knew I was dreaming. Instantly, the same thing happened again, I flied upwards and woke up.

      Then, for the third time, I get a very similar dream (in another part of town, close to a school). This time I see my fingers flashing again, I get lucid, start flying,and wake up.

      I really hope I'll be able to control everything better from now on...
    12. I forgot that I had a lucid dream?!?

      by , 03-26-2012 at 09:20 AM
      CRIPES!
      Now I know what they mean by "you couldn't have a lucid and totally forget it if you don't keep a dream journal"!

      I'm not sure if you'd call it a WILD or MILD, due to the ~20 minute gap between sleeping times, but when I did fall back asleep, it was like I was presented with some sort of messed-up (de-bug) version of the "Need for Speed II" track selection menu. The difference was that instead of "track 01", "track 02", and so on as one might expect (even though NFS2 doesn't have that in real life), instead it had "track 1a", "Track 2b", and so on.
      bear with me, 'cause this is weird: to change to the normal tracks, you'd press up or down... which didn't exist because the visual was all that existed. I did anyways.
      ....okay.
      But then by pressing right or left (again, how the heck was I doing that?), I could switch to tracks like 2a, 1c, 3a, 4e, etc.
      I selected/loaded 2a (I think), which deposited me in a first-person shooter setting. I wandered around, knowing I was in a video game, and picked up a MASSIVE gun. Kind of like what Heavy uses in "Team Fortress II", but longer and more hi-tech. I hoisted it onto my shoulder and messed around with the keys (again, HOW the heck was I doing that?!?). After a minute of not figuring out what key to press to load it, I put it back down and wandered into a side room of the over-populated compound that was the setting.
      Inside the room, there were maybe four or five people, and I went over and started to talk to the bored girl in the corner. She was... the girl from my previous dream!
      Then I became (as I call it now) passively lucid. I was lucid, but I didn't start jumping around the place and freaking out.
      To clarify, I had tried to WILD back into my previous dream by mentally repeating that I would "wake" back into the dream next to the girl so that I could punch the lights out of the hobo. Maybe that didn't happen, but I'm still happy to say that in a more MILD-ish sort of way, it worked.
      Anyways, back to the dream.
      As soon as I was lucid, I stopped having to control my dream-self by "pressing" the right "buttons", (thank goodness), and could function normally and fully.
      I talked to the girl about nothing memorable, and I poked her on the nose. I didn't have to explain to her (but I'll explain to you) that it's a thing I do to close friends. Random quote that stuck with me: "You know, you would really be more fun to talk to if you were wearing clean underwear."
      Okay, for one how did she know that? And for two, what the heck is that supposed to be? An awkward pickup line?
      Anyways, after probably almost a half-hour, I got up and...
      Crud. Gap in my dream recall.
      Well, I do remember that I fought a little when the room got attacked, and when we moved to a different room (I was the last in) and I went to sit down by the girl and talk to her some more, there was her slightly possessive older brother there.
      And... I woke up soon after.

      BUT THE DEVIL HIMSELF CAN'T DENY THAT I WAS LUCID AND IT WAS CLEAR AS DAY WALKING AROUND THAT DREAM!!!
    13. Island lucid

      by , 03-26-2012 at 04:48 AM
      This may have only been semi-lucid, because I went along with the plot of the dream a lot, but it was still nice. I was taking a boat to an island with people I didn't know. I was excited for it. The line to get on the boat was long, but it ended up moving really quickly. Someone said that the boat only came once every 20 hours in real time. I was a bit worried that it would fill up before I got to it, but I ended up getting on fine.

      We arrived at the island, and I'm not sure at what point I became lucid. I did a nose plug RC to make sure. At one point I tried walking at a tree and believing really hard that I could walk through it, and it worked. When I was going around doing stuff, my eyes felt a bit sore, like they were kind of dry and tired, but I felt myself slipping away if I closed them for too long.

      There was a meeting at a building on the island, where we were going to talk about games we were going to play and stuff. I think there was a game where we all had to turn into animals, because I was thinking about how I would turn into a cat. I got to the building before the meeting started. The inside was all light exposed wood, and there were lots of people there. It was big, too, with really high ceilings. I started talking to this guy, and he wanted to see my deviantART. I pulled out my phone to try to navigate to it and show him, but it was really difficult. The phone wasn't working very well, and I was having a hard time typing my name. I think I managed to show him a bit of it, but ended up giving up. I was only slightly aware I was dreaming at that point.

      Then the meeting was going to start, and I was a bit more aware. I wanted to stick around for the meeting, but I didn't want it to be boring, so I decided I would fly around during it. I imagined pink feathered angel wings growing out of my back, and somehow managed to make it happen. I shot into the air and started swinging on lights and decorations and such that were hanging from the ceiling.

      That's all I can remember now. The dream felt like it had been really really long when I woke up, but I'm sure it skipped sections to make it feel like that.

      DR 1:50
      I'm telling someone how to LD. Instead of squishing a spider black widow, I put him on my arm and want to squish him there. But I miss and now I expect him to bite me.
      DR 3:51
      WBTB 5 - 6am
      Tried to WILD but kept loosing images because of lots of thoughts. I thought about what would I do, if my current job offered to relocate me close to my hometown where my family lives, but it's thousands of miles from where I live now and I like it here.
      ***NEW*** first time red and blue HI
      DILD 7:50 am 5min. long
      I'm talking to a friend of mine in SK, if she would room with me, if I relocated to work to B. in SK.
      I'm in college. I'm sitting outdoors, at a picnic table with a guidance counselor, talking about relocating to another college. She tells me about this school in Texas, that has excellent programs.
      Another person sits next to us and she is telling me about some other schools. As I listen to them, I decide to have an OBE. I lean my head back, so I don't slip off the chair, and I hope, the counselors don't wake me up thinking I had passed out. I have headrush & I'm in a dream awake, somewhere over street next to old poliklinik. I'm hovering. It's night and everything is black and grey. I say 'clarity' and some patches of color appear on trees and grass underneath them. I yell it 2 more times and everything blossoms in brilliant, warm colors. I decide to see my family. Start to fly over rooftops in their direction. I think about stabilizing and slow down, touching the roof tiles. Tiles are nice terracotta colors. There is one part, that's metallic. I can distinctly feel the sheet metal under my fingers. Then I hear helicopters. I turn and there are two police helicopters, circling and shining at something in the middle on the ground. I hear gunfire. At first I think it's one helo shooting at another and I'm worried I won't be able to help now. As I get closer, I see that they are getting shot at from the ground. The area is well lit and I say 'find me some bad guys' and I see them running around. I want to stop and help the helos, but having little trouble controlling my flight. >> Next, I'm on the ground in police infirmary. A police dog, german shepard is wounded. I think he got shot, but they tell me, he got bit by a snake. I put my hand on him and try to heal him. I keep saying 'snake bite'. He stirs. A tech walks up to irrigate his wound. To his surprise, he says, the wound has shrunk and swelling is down

      DR 6am

      WBTB 6 - 6:05 am ( I just read about CAT and WILD CAT on http://www.neurosoup.com/lucid_dreaming_main.htm, so I wanted to try it.

      DILD/OBE? 9am
      I'm in a class (looks like english class in Hotelka) with desks arranged in the rectangle. My friend Marcela Ch. is sitting next to me. I'm sleepy and as I realize I'm falling asleep, I tell her not to wake me up, I'll be dreaming (I remember slightly waking up to this and actually mouthing the words IWL).
      I fall asleep and immediatelly starting to feel some motion sensations. I add rotating to it (axis is my torso) and I'm spinning quite fast. To this I say "I'm out" and I quickly rise up. I realize I'm dreaming and out. But I also notice that i didn't go far enough and get pulled right back. I wake up.

      DR 3:35
      It's an post apocalyptic world. People live underground in old buildings, industrial like, big elevators. We finally find them. They close are torn and worn out. We joke, that everybody will want to be our friend now. I feel like we just came back from a successful mision. And really, they are offering us their coats - it's cold. But we don't take them. Someone gives us pieces of foam and strips of cloth and shows us a box with more. We are suppose to make shoes out of it.
      DR
      Outside of RD10. We look at the moon obscured by some kind of wapors, chem trails and we compare it with pictures. They match, but they are both wrong. I can tell, that what we see as face of the moon is something completely different. We remember, the moon used to look differently.
      WBTB 3:35 - 4:20
