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

Tuesday, 3/20/12 bed at 12am, couldn't fall asleep for 1 ½ hrs.
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.

Wednesday, 3/21/12
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
Just reg. dreams, no recall

Recall Start:

"I'm Dreaming?!" I realize aloud, though no one around me seems to notice particularly. "I don't know how long I have left here, so we're going to have to make it count"

I am standing in a corridor, several of the cast members of Persona 3 are gathered around. I have blue hair (Like the main character in persona 3) we are discussing a plan to do something. There has been an outbreak of shadows and we need to do something to stop it. We figure out the plan and go down an elevator.

Blackness. while the elevator is descending, my consciousness shifts to outside the building, shadows are everywhere, feeding off of each other. Akihiko is doing his best to keep them at bay, but he is caught off guard when a shadow absorbs him. the shadows start absorbing each other, it becomes chaos. I return to my dream body as the elevator touches down. we are on the bottom floor of a complex. it is crawling with shadows. we dispatch two in succession as we make our way through the maze. I briefly ponder if I should tell them Akihiko's fate, but I decide it would be better not to, to keep their minds on the mission at hand.

I find a blob of shadow as big as two men laying down foot to head across, I am about to engage it, but I realize everyone else is fighting. I get out of the room it is in, and assist the others. I am too late, they are all injured and need first aid.

I think... where could I get some first aid? I know there is a box at the top floor where we came from. Then I remember seeing first aid kits around on the walls. I go to them. Each med-kit is 100 yen each, I buy them one at a time and take each to one of the three squad mates that descended with me. I get the last person healed and wake up, one minute before my alarm goes off.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Last day of the competition and I get lucid twice! The first dream sucked, but I managed to enter the same scene by the DEILD technique. It worked like a charm and the LD lasted around ten minutes or so.

00.00: Sleep

06.00: Shorty DILD
I'm standing on a balcony overlooking the city. It's an amazing view and the houses are mixed with trees. I look closely at the horizon and my vision suddenly improves tenfold. It's like I'm looking through binoculars. "Oh cool I'm dreaming" I say and enjoy the scene for a while longer. I get up on the railing and jump off and start to fly. As always I fly for a few seconds before the dream collapses.

I can feel my body sleeping in bed. I lie perfectly still and intend to go back to the dream and do it right. SP quickly sets in and my neck and arms begin twitching. I start visualizing holding onto the back rest of a chair and moving my feet on the floor. I imagine the floor being tiles with sharp edges between them just like I have in my bathroom.

06.00: Nito?! DEILD
The scene I'm imagining starts to appear infront of my eyes and I keep on rubbing my feet on the floor and shifting my hands on the chair. "Matte, what are you doing?" my friend Felix's friend asks me. "Hold on" I tell her and make sure I've stabilized the dream enough. "Cool" I say and she looks confused. Felix is in the room aswell and he's eating cake. "Oh! Can I have some cake?" I ask. "Yeah sure it's behind you" he says. I grab a big piece. "There's vanilla custard inside of it right?" I ask. "Yes" they both reply. I take a big bite and it's delicious. I walk out onto the balcony I was in the dream before. It looks exactly the same.

I sit down on the railing, dingling with my legs over the edge. 'Hmm, what should I do? Have sex? No... I know! Summon Nito!' I finish the cake and shout out his name. "Nito?!" 'Hmm, that sounded too Swedish...' "Nito?!" I yell again. "Yeah?" someone replies from the street below. I look out and can see a few kids playing down below aswell as a black haired guy. I throw myself off the balcony and fall twenty meters and smack down into the pavement. "Hey man!" I say man and grab Nito's head. He's taller than he should be. "You're too tall" I say and we laugh. "How are you then?" "I'm good mate, you?" he says and we start walking down the street. After a few yards I realise we have to train.

Two guys show up. "Fight them!" I tell Nito and we take on one each. I leg sweep one of them and slam him down into the ground with my fist while he's in the air. I look around and Nito's standing above his foe. 'Wow that was quick.' "Alright, we need to find some weapons" I tell him. We've been fighting outside of a big wooden villa and I figure there must be weapons in there. I enter the door and the hallway is pretty dark. "I'm not going in there until someone turns on the light, don't want to lose this dream" I say and Nito hits the switch. Satisified with the lighting I enter and head for the refrigerator. 'Should get something to eat to stabilize...' "Check for weapons in the freezer" I say and don't believe for a second there are any in there. After a little searching my friend Felix (who must have appeared out of nowhere) tells me he can't find any.

I grab a huge ice cream cone instead and nibble on it for a while, it tastes great. All of a sudden I spot an old man in a bathrobe running up the stairs. I run after him and rub my hands to make sure I stabilize the dream. I follow him through doors and narrow corridors until he stops in a closet. I grab his arm from behind the door and take the shotgun from his hands. I lose lucidity. "Go ahead and kill me then!" the old man tells me. My sister shows up. "Those shells are weak, the more expensive ones costs twenty crowns" he tells me. I blast the shotgun next to his ear. He hands me another shell and opens his mouth. "Do it!" he yells at me. I shoot him in the face and almost nothing happens. He gets a bit black here and there.

06.00: WBTB 10 minutes.

09.00: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 9 hours

Supplements: None

That's it! Had a few more dreams, but got no time to write them down.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

I got a little sleep, but when i dream iw as in a place that was really firmilliar. it was all the places i lived smashed into one... i rememb3er looking at a map and seeing how close i was to an area that i used to know. i remember black shorts and suitcases. it was night time, a summer night cool and crisp air, stars shine for miles in the sky. grass is soft and conversation is of how if i dont come back soon they will go looking.

I was at someone's house. They had a PIU machine, so I started to play, but the mats were propped up on top of shaky wooden boards. A woman came in and said there was another mat downstairs, so I went down to look. Didn't find one (but I saw Pop'n Music), and went back upstairs. Then all of my family came, so I had to go say hi to everyone. There was also a guy I didn't recognize. After that I realized how weird this was. I was in some random house and all of my family was there. I did a reality check and became lucid. I jumped through a glass window and phased through it, landing on a deck outside. I jumped up and tried to fly (which has practically become second nature to me by now) but for whatever reason, I couldn't. I just hovered and fell. I kept trying, about like 20 times, but the highest I got was the branch of a nearby tree, then I fell down. I was getting frustrated, and eventually lost lucidity.*I went back inside and played pop'n music.

dream 1 - I was watching family guy. All I remember is Stewie being sarcasm. And then I went to another room - Miho was sitting there. Gahng was also there and they said something but I don't remember....

dream 2 - I was in the hallway of art wing and I read a paper on the wall that said 'only 2 people got scholarship for art college' and I was like, that's not fair!!! I was in agony to think about this....

dream 3 - did WILD and went out of veranda. My Ikran was there! Strangely he looked like a crane bird. Anyway, I climbed up grabbing his neck. He tried to lift me up using his head. and then he turned into real Ikran dragon. I grabbed his antenna thingy on the head, and stepped on the thingies(?) on this shoulder, and he spread his big wing. And we floated up to the air - it was so vivid! We flew across the buildings in a metropolitan city. I said 'To Katsuno!' and my Ikran started to fly really fast. I held on his antenna tightly. But after some minutes of flying, there seemed no Katsuno so I said 'To Atras!' but no trace of him... 'To Oceanboy!' no feeling yet... 'To juroara!' 'To thebeastofold!' 'To floatinghead!' 'To hermine!'
nothing worked. -.-
Then I woke up in pitch black.

I should have gone to floating islands...I always forget.. d'oh!

I have been keeping a DJ for 15 days now, I will just start from the 15th night (last night) so I can stay in-sync with my other entries.


Normal Dream
Lucid Dream

Night 15

Another great night of dreaming, I even had a LD!

I. I had a dream loosely based on Skyrim, it was like our world combined with a fantasy world, where it mainly took place was at my school. I remember I needed to do some quest, I found this person who was small and made out of wood, he was telling me about stuff (can't remember what). That is when someone from my school came to work by me, she was not apart of the whole quest/fantasy aspect, when I started to chat with her. Then the person who gave me the quest came up to me and was upset I was not proceeding in the right direction, I was just laughing it off as he pulled me away. I last remember going into some old wooden rooms that you could tell were fit for a fantasy setting, he was taking me to see some person who knew what I needed to do next. That is all I remember.

II. I am at my old Middle school with my brother and we needed to go to the gym for class, and we were with someone else I remember from school. We all go into the locker room where I noticed there was a lot of boys and girls in the boys locker room. Our teacher came to everyone and said we needed to go to the cafeteria for a meeting, but everyone ignored him and stayed in the locker room lol. Something then caused me to become lucid, it might be because I have been trying to recognize that when I am at school I am dreaming since I dream about it a lot, but whatever it was I become lucid at this point. The first thing I see is that E (a girl I went to school with) was next to me and started walking to the other side of the room, I start to follow her because I was going to question her. I run into her sister A first, she is sitting on the ground working on something, so I crouch down to her level and she looks up and stares at me. The dream was incredibly vivid at this point, her facial features were so clear. So I ask her a question and the conversation goes like this.
Me- "Who are you?"
A- *Blank stares*
Me- "Who are you?"
A- *Blank stares*
Alright, this is one of the hollow DC's I read about . So I get up and walk towards E who was far more active than A, this is our conversation.
Me- "Who are you?"
E- *no reply*
Me- "Who are you?"
E- "You need to leave me."
Me- "This is a dream, I am dreaming right now." I should of asked why I needed to leave, but w/e.
E- "You need to wake up."
At this point I was thinking I do not want to wake up but the dream started to fade away, I started rubbing my hands and then touching my surroundings, it almost worked but the dream still ended .

III. This one is kind of all over the place. I start off with my family at this movie theater, we are watching this very strange movie about what would happen if someone left the movie theater early compared to if they stayed, idk it was very strange lol. The theater turned into some strange classroom/restaurant, my family already left but the rest of us were trapped, if we left our seat this crazy lady would sick her rabid pink cat on us lol. As she was turned I knew I had to run for the door, and when I did she started yelling something but I made it out before the cat got to me. I look at the time and it was something like 3:40 am and I was like, damn I have to get home fast. I jumped on my bicycle and started riding it down the street when there were 2 other people riding home as well. It was night time, but as we got further down the street it turned to light and we were on some dirt road and under a huge bridge that seemed destroyed, and when we tried to cross under it there were these people hiding shooting assault rifles at us. We were riding as fast as we could just hoping to not get shot, once we got to the other side, there was another bridge that we needed to cross a river, it had explosives already planted on it so when we crossed over we could destroy their route to us. When I crossed, the other people with me told me to go on, so I ended up going through this abandoned farm house that was loaded with guns and explosives. I just kept going, and soon I found myself at this small widow that was multi-layered, like I opened one window and had to open another after that. After opening all of them I realized that it was connected to my house and I had to crawl through so I can get home, I was a tight fit but I made it through fine. I run to my back door and I was surprised it was actually unlocked, but I didn't think much of it, so I walk into my house when my mom was there waiting for me, she says something but I can't remember and the dream ends.

In real I interested, what wil be if pour out cald water on the head in LD. I was in the bathroom and there was a lot of space because there was no washing mashine. I thought, that it might be a dream, made RC. Remembered about the water, fill the preserving pan (the water was a bit warmer then in real) and did all that I did in real - the fllings was the same like in real. I thought that it was stupid to check how it would be in LD, because I didn't like much to do it in real)) Then I blow dry my hair and desided to make advanced TK - near the door there were some clothes and kid's toys. I made one toy, then other and so on to ten and moved them in the air, then count - 15. Put them and moved again all 15 items. Then I entered the other room and through the window went out, but there was too cold on the street and I back home and awoke.

School workshop

The hall, which our lockers are in, turned into some kind of workshop. There are tables in line in the center of the hall and bunch of people are sitting on both sides. Interestingly, it is night and I can't see any lights being turned on, though I can see everything perfectly, although it feels a little dark. I know there are two teams competing against each other. Everyone is working on something. I don't know why, but I go check out the team, that is doing worse. It seems they are trying to do something from paper, but I don't know why. I suddenly sit down with 2 or 3 people, whose faces I can't remember and suggest we write a haiku. I'm looking for paper to write on, but I can't find any. I go look for some, and I see a completely different project of the stronger team being built. It will probably be some kind of ship. (the shape resembles Noah's Ark displayed in stories for children) It's still only basic wooden construction at early stages. When I return to my desk, I find small bits of paper to write on, I try to remember haiku about frog, but I fail.

So, I go look in my class, for whatever reason. I find something really surprising there. The door leading to our class is actually a glass one. I hear peoples' voices inside, so I look through the glass and see German class having lesson inside. I look at the timetable next to our door and find it completely changed. The walls are painted in strong orange.

Later that day I find myself walking on pedestrian crossing in my city's downtown, near the old cathedral. After a while, I'm walking on the street that is almost blank, just road beside me and super futuristic building a few hundred metres away. You know, high and made from conrete and glass. I meet two of my classmates - Miška and Deňa, they seem to be waving at me. I can't remember what we were talking about. As I'm walking down the street, sudden realization hits me - I'm dreaming! I try to push my fingers through the palm, but it doesn't work. I wake up.

Sitting in car watching sceneries

I'm sitting in car and after some time (can't remember if it was 5 minuts or 5 hours) I realize I'm dreaming. I try to push my fingers through palm, but it doesn't work. I plug my nose, allowing me to breath partially. I'm unable to move (I'm thinking about flying out of car, but I fail) I'm watching all kinds of sceneries pass by all the time. I wake up.

Started off at old house in my room sitting at the edge of my bed and my Dad walks in and is furious (had a feeling he thinks I'm gay?) and starts throwing big kitchen knife at me but his wall above my head. Cuts to the store where the I feel like hick folk (but for some reason I feel like they're the cast from this season's survivor and begin to surround me. I get really scared and realize I'm dreaming then pull a nose plug reality check then book dirt out of the store. I try to fly away superman style but I failed and tripped into a pile of snow. The second time it works and I fly away till I get to a field and rub my hands to stabilize and did another nose plug reality check. At this point the dream turns to second point view and has a look of cartoon like the incredible machine. I try fly away again but I'm having trouble so I land then all of a sudden this sprite like creature appears and gives me 8000 points or cash reward if I gave her a playboy magazine. I fly away again and try to look for Caro. I try turning a corner to make her appear but it doesn't work, then I try opening a door to see if she'd be inside. I don't see the inside of the house only outside and I see myself getting thrown out like Uncle Phil does to Jazz in Fresh Prince, try another house and the same things happen. I start to float up with my arms out and the dream fades then I awake.

whiterains dream

at a big party in some club. bit of a reunion theme but there are people there from all different groups which starts to get me lucid. have a minor argument with some school people then set off to try and find out who else is there. talk to someone from school who says something about my brother and his bike. find some good mates then it looks like everyone is starting to leave. as we file out i start to realise i can just fly off above this grand set of stairs. i am carrying some stick that looks like a massive piece of rock. i say something like i am going to spin this stick anti gravity style. i try to fly while spinning this stick, and using it to keep me lucid. finally i actually remembered to try looking for dreamviews people but thats about the last i remember for now

I went to bed kind of late last night, after more than a few hours of gaming, do I think it affected my sleep quite a bit. I had planned a WBTB attempt so I set up an alarm clock for 5:30 AM but when it rang and I woke up I couldn't remember a thing. I got out of bed, got a drink of water and went back to try WILDing.

It didn't quite work out, as I couldn't focus and switch off at all, so I decided I would just get my last 2 hours of sleep normally. When I managed to fall asleep I started a long chain of dreams.

Firstly, I was at my old school with a couple of my friends. We were on the football field, but doing math homework for some unknown reason. A few minutes into this, I saw a few people that looked like junkies approach one of my friends. I pulled him out of the Nyah just as they lunged for him, then started running away.

My dream then changed. I found myself visiting a friend. We talked a bit about games and about the math homework from earlier, but now I realize that the inside of his house looked just like my girlfriend's apartment, not like his house. His mother called him for a few minutes, and I thought it was time to leave by now so I went to the door too. When I got out I reached his courtyard (which, actually, looked just like my courtyard) and saw the garage door open . There were about 10 tall, fat men with large beards and moustaches, working on a strange metal machinery. I also saw a few of my friends there, and greeted them but it was all too strange so I left that place.

Then my dream changed again. I was in my high school's grounds, wearing only my underwear, and running towards the exit. Then I noticed that no one was looking at me, which was strange, so I thought that this might be a dream. I decided to do a reality check. I looked at my hand and one of my fingers was only half the size of the others. This made me become lucid, but I was too excited and I forgot about stabilizing my dream or trying to control it. Lucidity felt really good, and it was like all of my senses had evolved and it was all brighter, more vivid, more realistic. I then told myself "Screw this! It's a dream, I can fly!" and I started running towards the sports field and then I jumped. I started flying upwards very quickly, and saw the whole city née beneath my eyes. This gave me a phenomenal sense of freedom, and a physical sensation that I have never experienced before. It was simply AMAZING! Unfortunately, it only lasted 2-3 seconds, after which I had a false awakening. I didn't RC so I couldn't know it was another dream, but I was really excited that I managed to get a LD and that it felt so good. I woke up for real quickly after.

I think this dream is heavily influenced by the fact that I've been obsessed by LDs for the past few days (and reading a lot about it).

The first scene I can remember is walking in a narrow walkway (between two blocks of apartments, an area that I spend a lot of time in with my friends in real life), and then this girl from my school, that has a very Asian-looking face comes up to me and tries to kiss me. I push her away because I remembered I have a girlfriend, and she seemed quite angry and walked away. I then left the area and entered one that vaguely looked like a market, but I woke up at that moment.

I tried to go back to sleep the moment I got up (though not quite a DEILD) and found myself in a hallway, in a block of apartments. For some unknown reason I thought that I was lucid (I didn't do any RCs and nothing felt weird, but I just kind of knew that I was lucid), but now that I think of it I couldn't actually control anything and it only seems like a very distant and fuzzy memory, not a stable experience like it should have been. Basically, I wasn't fully lucid, but I was quite close to it. I realised that I kind of could do anything I wanted so I imagined a computer (which popped up behind me), and then sat on it. My lucidity then faded away completely, and the scenery changed.

Then I was on some kind of battlefield (not lucid at all anymore) and I had a sniper rifle. I tried to shoot some enemies (not sure if they were human or anything else), but I was very inaccurate and couldn't do much.

I remembered so many dreams after I woke up, but now that I'm in front of computer I only remember two. >.>

dream 1 - I was a hawk myself. I was staring into a golden eagle's eye in front of me - It had yellow eye, I imagined its eye in green color to get the feeling of 'awareness' (semi-LD?). The golden eagle and another hawk flew away, and I flew with them together too, across the pink sky. And then I was on the tree branch, staring people down the street. Somebody commented on my appearance.

dream 2 - I did WILD but I was lucid in low level. I was riding Ikran with Atras and Katsuno, and maybe juroara. Don't remember any detail Atras said something to guide us...

dream 3 - I was on DV and got a pm from someone that I should mass pm active members again, with pictures and vid clips. I replied, 'umm...okay' and then I got 2 pms from Shockwave, and Oceanboy. And then I was looking at twitter page, my fav rock band posted a picture of famous Korean comedian I know together with them. They said he was funny as hell.
