lucid

3/15/12

DILD

Notes: I had a nightmare that I kept returning to every time I woke up. After repeatedly entering the dream, I started becoming semi lucid. This led to me becoming lucid many times afterwards, mostly being fragments with little control. Here are two of the fragments I remember most. This also marks my goal of 61 lucids this year (1 every 6 days).

I was outside behind my house with my brother. I was talking about my previous struggles with flying. Before, I was unable to even get up onto my roof. This time, I look up and super jump onto this wooden overhang thing. I tried to land on top of it, but I am hanging from it instead. I swing back and forth, trying to flip on top of it. When I get enough momentum I go for it. I don't think it turned out like I planned but I didn't fall to the ground.

While I am hanging up there I see that we get a new puppy. I jump down into this mud pile and start petting the dog. I see a computer with some dog pictures and I lose lucidity. I scroll through a powerpoint show with pictures of the new dog. One I remember clearly had 3 of the furriest dogs ever piled on top of each other.



I am formulating some plan with two other people. We are in a theater, and we all get into position. I am in the back, someone is towards the middle, and someone is up front. Vamsi shows up and asks what is going on. I try to talk to the other guys but accidentally give "the signal." We were supposed to get lucid and then start the plan. They are running around, so I guess we have to go for it. I'm lucid (that wasn't hard haha). I have to get them lucid though. The movie is playing in the theater. I yell, "listen to the music!" It turns out that the sound for the movie is coming from a completely different room. They are lucid now.

I follow the sound into this side room. There is some electrical equipment we have to destroy. I grab an open nalgene and dump water on it. Sparks fly. Someone who works there runs in and yells at me. I ignore him and see this large glowing disk. That looks important. I throw something at it and it breaks. Mission completed...I guess...whatever it was. I wake up soon after.

(I woke up early in the morning to try to WILD. I do not remember if I succeeded or not, but I did end up having a lucid dream anyway!)

My friends and I were in the back of some olden carriage. Where trucks store their cargo, we were in the old time equivalent to that I do not remember feeling worried, nor do I remember why we were there. I do remember that there was a group of my friends on the outside of the carriage trying to get in. We were trying to keep them out. They threw a stink bomb into the back, but I put it out by spraying it with a hose haha They eventually broke into the back of the carriage, and the next thing I know is we are all in this huge beautiful sorta mansion building. The rooms are huge and ceilings are very tall and it looks like a Roman villa. There are a lot more people in here now and they are all fighting with each other. From what I understood, we were on two seperate teams: the vampires, and the werewolves. I was on the vampires team. I started running from one room to another trying to avoid everyone as much as possible because they were fighting with knives and swords. But there were so many people, I kept bumping into everyone. I do not remember if I fought with anyone, but I do remember that when I went to run into the main room, the entrance was full of people from the werewolf team. I thought they were all going to attack me so I took a couple of steps and leaped over them and flipped in the air! It reminded me of the Matrix. It was exhilarating! The next thing I remember was that in the main room there was this very long table of desserts. So, of course I go over and take a couple of cookies. I think the fighting stops and everyone is just hanging out in this huge mansion. One of my friends J comes over and I comment on how stable this dream is. I know I wasn't totally lucid though because a couple minutes later I look at my watch and the time is ticking backward to zero like an hourglass. And I associate that with the amount of time I have left before I wake up. I talk to these to people, and when the clock strikes zero I fall to the floor and say that I am going to wake up now, but the dream didn't fade at all haha. And I kept trying to I guess wake up to make my prediction right and I felt a dizzy feeling, but it went away and I was still in the dream. I get up and say that I guess I'm not going to wake up after all haha. I walk over to the other room and find this huge rectangular pillar with four sides of mirrors, like in clothing stores. I looked in it and saw my reflection. I looked away and looked back expecting it to change. It did, but not too too much. I started experimenting trying to change my clothing to match other people's clothing that walk by and I am able to do it! There was this really wierd piece of clothing that I changed into. It reminded me of this overgrown tin foil diaper thing. For some reason, I could not change out of it, but I eventually took it off and had more clothes on underneath...really confusing. At this point part of the mansion turned into a couple stores that would be in a mall. The next thing I know, I am outside, running around with two of my good friends from school. We are in this wierd village/city thing with very very close buildings that are super short, and the roads are made of dirt, and there are tons of alleyways that let you navigate past all of the buildings. We pass by this random little store that is selling juices. My friend gives me one, but I didn't want it and said that I wanted some other one. We kept running and came out of the jungle of houses and were on this path that led to an intersecting river. I believe we went into the river and I said that this dream was soo long and that I needed to wake up for school soon (Although I did not have school the next day). The next thing I remember is waking up.

I also remember this dream fragment, but I could not remember where it fits with the rest of my dreams. I remember standing next to this medium sized shack with one wall missing. People were all crowding around watching this competition. What would happen is people would step into the shack and at the same time try to complete a suicide and be the first to finish (not killing yourself...it the running exercise you do in basketball or any other sport). I went in and competed in one and I think I came in second. When I got back out I stood next to this lady and saw that underneath the wood of the shack there were three snakes. One had slithered onto her foot and she was scared to move. I stared at it and backed away frightened and it started slitethering towards me! So i stomped on its head a bunch of times until I knew for sure it was dead. For some reason I dream alot about stomping on the head of snakes...The dream are not always back to back, but once in a while I dream about it.

March 15, 2012
Last night was absolutely FANTASTIC! I don't know how or why, but somehow I managed to have an amazing and long lucid dream- without even trying!! I have been sick lately so when I went to bed I didn't even bother to try and tell myself mantras or anything. I am so surprised at what happened

Right away I knew that I was lucid. I was in my parent's room for some reason, and on the wall there was some kind of game going on. Since I knew I was dreaming, I decided to leave and go do something fun. I went to the door and tried to act like something awesome was behind it, but all there was was my hallway. For some reason, my friend was there with me and it was like we were just hanging out together. She knew it was a dream as well. I went downstairs and went outside. When I was opening the door I remembered my dream sign (salmon skies) and wondered if it would be like that. When I stepped out I saw that it was nighttime and only a small section had my dream sign on it. I was baffled by how real everything felt. Me and my friend walked down to the street and decided to fly. She told me that she was never reall good at flying, but she gave it a try anyway. I knew I could fly already, because I had done it numerous times before (when I was little). I kicked off the ground and started to float up. The feeling was incredible. I soared around a little bit, trying to get a feel for the air. I tried to fly up, but it was difficult to get very high. I also tried to go faster, but again it didn't work very well. We decided to get down and do something else. I remembered that one of the things I wanted to do was become a vampire. I could feel my body transform in a way, not really physically but more like I was gaining a lot of power. I wanted to see how fast I was and zipped around my yard super fast, it was like I was teleporting myself instead of running . Afterwards I attacked a DC (lol). When my little vampire adventure was over I found myself back inside, standing in a room. When I was there I remembered the competition I was a part of and wondered what I needed to do for my goals. I had fly down, as well as super speed. All I needed to do was eat something. I turned to my friend and said "does blood count?" (from my previous little vampire spell haha). I wasn't really serious, and I also believed that I had eaten sun chips earlier, but I couldn't be sure. So I conjured up a chocolate cake to the best of my ability. I wasn't so sure if I conjured it up well so I asked my friend "do you see a cake here?" I held up my plate for her to see, and sure enough, there was a big, delicious piece of chocolate cake. I dug in. I can't remember if it had tasted good or not, but oh we'll . After I finished my cake me and my friend went to where my brother was sleeping (note: we walked through doors to get do different places). We tried to 'wake him up' to share the dream with us, but he was fast asleep. The dream faded after that.

After the dream faded it went into a false awakening where I wrote my dream on dreamviews.

This was my first long and vivid lucid dream!!! I can't wait to have more like this in the future!!

Thoughts and Comments
Non Lucid

Basic Task Complete! Let your shadow detach from your body and chase it.
Advanced Task Complete! Pick your favorite book and enter into one of the chapters and experience it.

Trying to update this more. I like writing my dreams so people can see that you can get lucid often if you work for it and it is worth it! I got on amazing lucid adventures almost every night and really like typing them up. Anyway, I got up around 1:30 AM to WILD, became lucid in a coffee shop.

I was sitting in a small coffee shop holding a steamy cup of coffee. In the coffee, there was a bright blue twist straw poking out of the cup. The cafe had a very nice, warm feel to it. I noticed the employees running around looking busy, even though I was the only customer. There was about six small tables throughout the coffee shop. It had a bunch of art on the walls. I noticed all of the artwork had a 'water theme' to it.

I remembered to do the Task of the Month. I looked on the ground to see if my shadow was there. It wasn't. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and expected it to be there when I opened them. It was, but a little deformed. I summoned a Harry Potter wand and shot life from the wand into the shadow. I could see the shadow vibrating a bit and then it shot off! I jumped on it and literally rode it out of the shop! I glanced back and noticed a look of HORROR on one of the employees faces. ROFL! The shadow flew up into the air and I almost fell off of it. We were about to go through a cloud but I commanded it to turn solid. The shadow hit the cloud and started to fall. I quickly let go and flew before I fell with it. I followed the shadow down to the ground and it was just laying still. I think my shadow passed out! I touched it and attached it back into my body.

Now it was time to do the Advanced Task. Enter one of my favorite books...The Hunger Games. I grabbed the air and ripped it open creating a portal. I visualized on the other side I would be sitting in the Hunger Games arena in a forest area. I stopped through and that's where I was! All the trees around me had colorful fall leaves. I looked on the ground and found a bow and arrows. I knew other players would be chasing after me so I quickly hopped into a tree and started climbing. When I got to the top, I could see a little dome around the entire arena. The trees were close together I started to silently hop from one tree to another. I heard someone below me and I scaled down the tree silently. I sat on a branch and saw a blonde-haired girl walking through the forest. She looked like she was gathering food. I could feel the presence of a camera on me. I pulled back the arrow and aimed. I charged magic into it that would make her instantly evaporate once shot.

I shot. It hit her right after she spotted me. Right between the eyebrows. She evaporated and blue dust flew into the air. Then I heard someone right above me. I quickly looked up and everything became black.

I wish the dream lasted longer! I was planning to blow up a person's base by shooting an arrow to blow up someone's supplies like Katniss did in the books! That would have been fun. Anyway, it was still a cool dream. Hope you enjoyed reading

I am a little frustrated because I had pshyced myself up, planning on a great night of LDing. While I had 3 distict LDs they were very short.
LD25 since 02/19/12: DILD I was walking and a big fox came running out from no where. I did my levitate RC and it worked. I became lucid and tried to look around. I decided to try and get a white room effect like in The Matrix training area. I turned away from the scene but did not expect any new scenery. It worked, I was in a blank white feild of space except the remainss of the last scene in one part of it. I lost all recall at that point.
LD26: DILD Swirling shapes were floating about and I realized it must be a dream. I became lucid and tried to look around, just more crazy shapes, I tried to look at my hands to stablize. They came in and out of view, and I woke up before I could stablize.
LD27: I did a WILD attempt after about 6 hours sleep. I was at it a while when a vivid scene of looking up stream from close to water level at a river appeared. I realized it was real LD imagery and that I was lucid. I studied the images for clarity and realism. It all looked great. I realized I had no dream body. I thought about forming one butfirst I tried to look around. New scenes of rivers would form. At that point I lost recall.
Dur: All 3 were less than 2 minutes.

I set my alarm for 5:30 to wake up for the day. It went off, I turned it off, then set it for 5:45. Then I went back to sleep. Awoken at 5:45 by my alarm, I just shut it off completely, and said that I would rest for a bit. You know that feeling where your bed is just so comfy and you just can't get up? Yeah, I had that feeling. It was like my head was glued to the pillow. I "fell asleep" I think, and triggered either a very real daydream (which either led me to a dream) or I entered a dream completely. I'm not sure if this was DEILD, because I don't remember the transition. I just remember darkness, then the dream.

But anyway here it is:

I was lucid from the start. I didn't really know what to do, because I knew I had little time. Once again, I wasn't completely aware, so I just decided to look around. I was standing in a bedroom at my dad's house, only, everything was cleaned out. The bed remained, with some PJ's on it. I walked into the closets, nothing. I knew this wasn't my room, and I knew the person who lived in it. But it was a really familiar name. I heard her mom come up behind me. I asked where the girl was. She said that the girl was feeling a bit sad lately. That didn't answer my question, but whatever.
Somehow, I was teleported.

I ended up on a plane. This plan was very wide, and it didn't have a ceiling. (wth?) It looked more like a carnival ride to me. There were at least a dozen seats in one row. I found the girl sitting on the last seat in one row, looking out the window. I sat beside her.

"Hey, what's your last name?" I asked her.
She turned to me. "Molly."
Shouldn't that have been reversed? "Okay, what's your first name?"
"Schneider."
The heck?
"Oh, did you get your name backwards?" I asked.
"Um... I don't think so?"
Awkwardly, I turned to my left. Half of my class from school has just appeared and is now sitting next to me.

Then I was rudely awakened by someone else's alarm.

This dream immediately followed the dream I last posted. After I woke up from that one I immediately laid back down to bed and was able to do a WBTB.

I am in a large unfamiliar house. Nothing is inside. I walk onto a tiled patio out into the backyard. It is overcast and there are random objects and junk in the yard - I remember one of the things out there was a yellow hummer. I also notice that there are no plants in the area at all. The ground is made entirely of sand and dirt. It kind of reminds me of a Fallout landscape. A large white tent stands before me. It's one of those tents that only has a roof and no walls. I think they call them frame tents. When I reach it I see a woman sitting behind a desk inside with her back turned to me. On the floor laying in a sleeping bag is another girl. She wakes up and stretches, looking at me. She's so beautiful looking - in a natural, simple way. Her hair is deep red, wavy, and tied in a loose bun in the back. Her cheeks have a few cute looking freckles. I remember how in my dream "1920s Train Station" I asked a dream character if she knew who I was and got a very interesting response. I decide I want to try that with this girl. She walks up to me just outside of the tent.

"How do you know me?" I ask.

"From...a lost place," she says quietly.

She's so pretty and elegant looking. I lose my train of thought and we start kissing. As this happens thousands of green sparks shower down from the clouds like rain. It makes the whole scene look like a dramatic romance. I don't want the dream to end but it does and I wake up... back in reality.

I fall from the stairs and understand that this is a dream. Made RC, flew from the window. I want to drink cola, took some ground and tried to make a bottle of cola - falce,it looked like ground. I took a part of the wall, but saw tables with the banket. I took from the table the bottle with peach juce, tried - this was peach juce. I saw a bottle of cola near some lady, took it, drank a bit - it was like cola, but mixed with water. Said hi to DC, and she answered - hi! I went to look for a book to make task of the month - found the book with Garry Potter, open the chapter and tried just to jump in it - but when i touch the book - may be because of the blow woke up.

I'm not sure where I was, but people were all panicked because apparently the moon was falling into the Earth. Realizing how ridicules that was I became lucid. Immediately after becoming lucid everything went white and I heard a ringing sound after a few seconds of that the ringing suddenly got vary intense for about a second. Then I was in my bed but I could barely move and when did I got sucked back into bed. I could also hear voices but I wasn't paying vary much attention to it. I manged to pinch my nose and I could breath. After a few seconds of trying to get out of my bed I woke up.

This dream caught me off guard I hope next time I will actually be able to do something.

Dream Fragment - We had these candies which I perceived as weed brownies but they were more just like chocolate chunks with sprinkles, and the sprinkles were varying shades of green and strategically placed with the candy shaped to look like a nug of weed. I also remember A smoking some legal weed mimic, but that's about it from that dream....

Backwards Crab Walk Through Time [DILD]

I'm with M and some random guys pull up in my car so I tell them to scoot over so I can drive. We drop one of the guys off, and then as I'm trying to figure out where to take the other guy he keeps talking about this book he has that's part of some new cult he's in, and there are lots of bizarre religious illustrations in it. I remember one of them was a woman leaning back and staring up in euphoria and she looked like she'd been 'healed' or something, and she had like claw-shaped lips and at least ten or fifteen eyes scattered all over her face. It was really odd.... While I was staring at the book the scene changed from my car to a high school classroom. I tell M we need to leave, and I don't remember who this was but this random woman started chasing us back through time. Like, I would run out of the classroom and it would take me back into a classroom I had from the previous year (I'm not sure if any of these classes were classes I actually had, though). Eventually I started doing a backwards crab walk as I was being chased. During this time I became lucid but was a bit too flustered to make much of it other than to keep moving and watch how insane all of this was. It seemed like I was stuck in some kind of environment loop where the class was just repeating over and over again, and then it all collapsed into whiteness and I woke up.

I "wake up" in my mom's house. Immediately I know I am dreaming but I am not completely lucid because I feel like I still live there and fell asleep in my room there (even though I have already moved out). Everything is so realistic that I think I am actually there. I walk to my bedroom and can see the shape of my body beneath the sheets of the bed. I consider the possibility that I might actually be in my "spirit body" looking at my physical self. (After waking up I now know that wasn't the case.) So..Just in case I actually am, I protect my body by casting a white light to surround it. I feel like I did a good job so I walk downstairs into the kitchen. I think about this being a good opportunity to make an experiment. I grab some red oven mittens out of a drawer and put them in the oven. I take a dish towel laying on the counter, and put it on the exercise bike in the living room. I wonder if I am actually doing this and tell myself that when I actually wake up I am going to see if the items really were moved to these locations. Suddenly I hear someone walk into the kitchen behind me. I turn around and see it's my mother. She looks a little scared.

"I've been seeing you do this kind of stuff a lot at night lately Nick," she starts crying, "You never remember it. I feel like it's dangerous and I'm afraid of what might be happening to you. What if you have a mental disorder? I think we need to take you to therapy."

She hugs me for a moment. I feel shocked. What if she's right? I don't know what's going on. I am an inch away from completely believing her - because the dream felt so life-like. But I look at her closely. Her hair and makeup are completely unusual compared to how she normally does it. Then I look back at the exercise bike I had placed the towel on. It completely disappeared.

"Ha! This IS a dream!" I say. My mom looks infuriated. I couldn't believe my brain almost succeeded in tricking me.

"Leave me alone," I tell my mom," or I'll..."

"Or you'll what?" She snaps back.

"Or I'll summon a fiery demon to come after you!" I couldn't think of anything better to say. I put my hands out like I am casting a spell, and think about summoning one. Nothing happens. (-.-)'

My mom laughs hysterically. "You want to see a fiery demon?" she says as her eyes begin to glow red.

She starts casting fire all around her. I don't want to feel the pain of being burned in my dream so I leave and try to focus my mind on something else. Somehow that works to get rid of her. I am back in the kitchen. A decorative tree on the counter starts shedding it's leaves. A bright white light - similar to a search light - shines on the house. Then everything turns black and I wake up.

I was in a store like a JC Penny or Macy's. There were a few arcade games set up including Pop'n Music. I started to play for a bit, then I realized I had to be dreaming, since these arcade machines were only in Japan. I played with the machine for a bit, then set off to find an open area for my task, but by then I woke up.
--------
I was in the cafeteria with my friends. I did a RC and someone asked what I was doing. I told him I was checking reality (though I didn't get lucid from this.

WBTB 5:54 - 6:27 GM4mg+300Choline
WILD
I'm looking at the inside of the bus. Lots of passengers, some are standing. One of them is Sean Connery. I say, OK, I could have this LD. I am there - and I'm standing on a busy street. Then my cat shifts position and wakes me up.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Had a little bit of lucidity last night. I got excited though and it ended quickly.

23.00: Sleep

05.30: Fragment
*I'm in a sauna. I put on a pair of shorts and get out of it. Some guys are fooling around, trying to trick me into doing something illegal. I tell the guys no several times. A man starts packing his bag in the locker room. I realise I'm dreaming as I watch him pack two pair of socks. "You know, they're going to get mad at you for doing that" I tell him. Some dangerous people don't like him sneaking socks into his bag. The dream starts to fade as I get excited over being lucid.

05.30: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 6½ hours

Supplements: None

That's it!

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

Im in a house that is not mine, I pass a mirror in a hall and look at my reflection, I notice that one of my front teeth it turned completely sideways. I stare at the tooth for a while, examining it, all the time thinking "this isn't right..." I fiddle with the tooth a little, it's really loose and comes out very easily. I touch my tongue to the gap where my tooth once was and can feel the hole my tooth has left, it freaks me out a little.

I remember that this is a dream sign for me, so i plug my nose but i can breathe!

I float up to the window that is above me, i open it. Its very small so i have to wriggle through the window while flying. I exit the house and immediately swan dive towards the ground, its exhilarating! I wait until the last possible second before i hit the ground, then fly up again. Im surprised at how easy flying seems to be for me in this dream. I fly up to a shed and land on it, i know what i want to do. I want to call for my dreamguide, i try to call out but no sound comes from my mouth and the dream starts to collapse.


Dream 2.

I am riding towards my granma's house on a BMX. There are speed bumps in the road and whenever i go over them i bunny hop to get some air. a car is coming towards me so i move to the pavement until it passes. I turn a corner onto my grandparents street and arrive on their driveway. My grandad is stood there building a gate, we talk for a while and then i head inside to see my grandma, shes with one of my cousins friends and im watching a video about lucid dreaming on a laptop.


DAMN!
