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!

juroara's dream

Note: I set my intention before falling asleep that I would be lucid and dream share

False Awakening Nightmare
I'm just trying to sleep, but I can't. My room is haunted. It feels like there's someone there, standing at the end of my bed. I try to sleep but the entity tugs at my sheets and startles me. I look but I don't see anyone. Again I go back to sleep, but now they grab my feet. I sit up, there's no one there.

It feels like this goes on for hours. I finally I get frustrated at the entity harassing me and I scream "FUCK OFF! LEAVE ME ALONE!!"

That's when I realize everything was wrong. My bed is facing the closet, which I hate. The window is behind my head, which feels weird. I have five cats running around my bedroom instead of one. And my sister is awake, its what 3am, and shes cooking? There are strangers in the living room. And its dark, and everything feels foggy.

Forget this, I can't sleep. I go for a drive. Even though it was dark and a bit creepy driving around town, it was nice. Fresh air, outside. Not like my bedroom, which just felt wrong. There are kids playing outside too, at this hour! They chase me home until their parents scold them.

I go back home and I walk into the living room with all the strange people, like hobos, sleeping in the dark corners. This makes no sense. This whole night makes no sense! Why is my sis cooking?

I'm dreaming! I levitate just to make sure. But being lucid didn't get rid of this foggy-ness. I fly outside into the dark. I didn't get very far.

Suddenly I was slammed back into my bed. I can't move. There's a dark entity standing over my bed, but I can't make out his face. He grabs my ankles, I can feel his grip. He pulls me towards him and all I sense from him is hate. I scream "HELP! HELP!" But my voice is muffled. Why can't I scream? I'm still dreaming!

I break free from his grip and fly out the window. The dream becomes a desperate chase dream.

Sunlight Saves Me
Now there are several dark entities after me. This dream is foggy, abstract and its so hard to move, its like trying to run in a pool. I do whatever I can to get away from them. They're right behind me. I thought about summoning lightning, but I was afraid my dream skill wouldn't work. Instead I ended up screaming "I summon the power - of everything!"

I finally run into a building that has lights on. But this place!! No windows. Rooms with no doors. There is something wrong with this place. I run into an office and I find my co-workers, blue as zombies. They were just staring off into space.

I run up to them "Help me!"

"Oh hi J"

"They're after me!"

"Who's harassing you?"

"Them!"

My zombie co-workers were happy to help and they hold back the entities buying me time. I run down a hallway which morphs into a tunnel sliding down to the next level below. The walls, the ceiling, everything was bleach white. A nurse was holding a baby pig and she tries to eat it live.

I run past her thinking this dream can't get anymore messed up "Really lady? What the fuck!"

Finally I see a door! And on the other side was sunlight. I run faster, they're right behind me. A lady is in my way so I leap out the doors window instead and crash land into a sunny spot.

"Im safe!"

The entities catch up and surround me. I can't move, I'm stuck, as though it was sleep paralysis.

"Oh, what's this?" said one of the entities

"She's escaping!"

"Then why isn't she moving?"

They're trying to intimidate me. But I know I'm safe. I ignore them and focus on the rising sun creating the most beautiful glow over the puffiest clouds. Fly. Fly. Fly!

Bam! In an instant I was up in the sunlit glowing clouds flying as fast as a jet, the nightmare was miles behind, I'm so happy! I wasn't really flying though. Some force was pulling me towards the sun at an incredible speed! It was amazing! The sun was so gorgeous!

And then just like that, I wake up. I'm tucked under my sheets, but I just know everything is right now. I can feel that my bed is facing the right direction, its facing the eastern window. I can feel a lump by my feet, my cat softly purring. Everything felt right. I remembered a similar nightmare I had a year ago when I tried to dreamshare. It had all the same elements. A dark entity grasping at my ankles. The dark-foggy dreamscape, and eventually, sunlight.

I knew I was safe, and that if I go back to sleep, I'm gonna be lucid and I'll have a good chance at dreamsharing.

Its Windy
I don't remember the beginning of this dream, I only remember that I just became lucid. The dream is bright, vivid, and colorful. There were so many DCs. It looks like I'm in the middle of a classroom, somewhere in the countryside.

I go outside and choose my target, Windy. "I now dreamshare with Windy!" My dream seems to shake, like its trying to morph into another dream. Then everything stabalizes again. Did it work? I look around me but I seem to be in exactly the same spot.

I thought that maybe I had to find Windy. So I try to tell the dream to take me to Windy. Instead the dream responds by making my dream literally windy. This isn't working!

I go back inside and harass the students. "Do you know that this is my dream?"

They look at me with blank faces. "I'm looking for another dreamer. Have you seen one?"

They're still confused. So I try to explain to them the difference between a dreamer and the DC.

One student replies "So this means, when you wake up, I'm going to die? That my entire life is only this moment?" Some students seemed disturbed, others seemed annoyed at my suggestion that they were just DCs.

"I dunno! You just go back into my head I think! But seriously, answer my question. Are you or are you not my DC? When I walk into the room, do you or do you not recognize me as the dreamer?"

They just look at me again.

"Well what's another dreamer like?" another student asks

"If there was another dreamer here, that person would be alien to you"

Then they draw my attention to their student work, a video project. I'm admiring the amazing details of the dream. I remember the glass pane of the computer screen. But watching the video made my dream unstable and I thought I was going to wake up. As soon as I stopped watching the dream stabilized and I continued my search for Windy, or any unusual DC.

I go outside and fly to a lake. There's a DC walking on water! How is he doing that? I try to walk on water too, something I've always wanted to do in a dream! But its not working. The water feels too real to walk on. I'm kinda jealous a DC can do something I can't.

"How are you doing that?"

But this DC teacher was the silent type, he just smiles and continues to walk on water.

I continue my search through a theater with rows of costumes, a lodge and restaurant. At some point I get a bottle of water and at some point I accidentally dropped into a river. A group of kids hanging out by the bridge scold at me for littering. I thought about flying down and picking it up, but then I think, its just a dream. I wake up shortly after.

So last night i had my first real lucid Dream! and this is how i did it and what happened.
(non lucid) I was being chased by these guards over this big field, which lead into a forest. As i entered the forest i seen that the guard had stopped chasing me, so i ended up roaming in the woods until i woke up. As i awakened i recorded my dream in my voice recorder with all the details of the forest and what actually happened. And as i started to fall back to sleep i kept on reminding myself of the intention to become lucid, and i was also trying to picture the forest to try and re-enter the dream. Shortly after, i am walking in the forest and i think to my-self "this seems familiar" and then it hit me, "i just recorded this dream scene in my dream journal, so this must be a dream!", so as i walked forward i seen a large open field which seemed to be foggy and unclear, but since i was somewhat lucid, i decided to rub my hands together and the second time i looked back up BAM!, everything became so clear, vibrant and full of life. The grass was a healthy bright green color, and i could clearly see the field stretch for miles, the sky was a crisp light blue with no cloud in sight. And as i looked to my right i seen a tree right beside me, i could see the bark clearly hanging off the tree trunk and every single crack and small detail, it was as clear as real life but much more colorful and exotic. Then i seen a girl in the distance so i imagined her being directly in front of me, then she just suddenly appeared there. I decided that i wanted to change this random person to a girl that i know, but as i closed my eyes and tried to imagine her multiple times, [/COLOR]she would not change into the person that i wanted her to be and then i heard voices and as i looked behind me i seen a huge search party that was after me, but i did not think of them as dream characters, i thought that they were real so i ran away, at that point is where i think that i lost my lucidity.

Does anyone know why i couldn't change that dream charter to a girl that i know?
other than that, i have never experienced anything like that before! it was so beautifull and its amazing to think of the world that is inside your own head.

I woke up around 2 AM (3 AM with the time change) and did my usual WILD. I layer down and visualized myself sitting on a bench in a crowded city. A few minutes later I could feel myself transition and I was in the dream!

I sat on the bench a few minutes longer. I took in my dream scene. Everyone around me seemed pretty happy and nobody was in a rush. They all were taking their time just walking through the city. It was daytime around 12:00 PM I'm guessing.

I got up from the bench and walked around. I started talking to this one guy named Peter and we had good conversation about the play Romeo and Juliet. I continue to walk around and notice a glowing wall. I go to touch it and am instantly transported to a huge grassy field.

The field has tons of huge tents and stages set up. It is full of people running around. Its a festival. I'm guessing it is around 7PM here. I notice my acting teacher and thr group I'll be performing with tomorrow. (In real life I will be performing a small play tomorrow. The group I saw is the people I will actually be performing with.) I go up to them and they tell me we are about to perform our play! I thought it would be awesome to perform the play in front of a HUGE group of people here in the dream to practice for Monday. I follow them up to the stage (which looks amazing). The audience must have had over two thousand people. It was all set in this awesome outdoor area.

Just like that, we start performing our play. It was just like we planned to do it in real life. It was really awesome and I am sure it will help me tomorrow. After we finish performing everyone sticks around for an afterparty. One person offers me this chocolate thing and it tastes SO GOOD. It was like the best thing I have ever tasted. I continue to go around just talking to my dream characters. After about three more minutes everything gets blurry and I wake up.
