lucid

February 1, 2012
When I woke up this morning I still couldn't remember any dreams . I think I might be trying a little too hard. I'm going to try and just sleep regularly and see what happens.

** I was on my iPad today just talking with my brother and I remembered something. It's not much but I think that sometime in the past few days I had a lucid dream, but forgot it when I woke up. I remember the color orange- it was nighttime. Part of it took place in my neighborhood, others in a field (maybe). I might have flown too... I really hope I have another and cant believe I forgot!!!

ordinary dream. I'm in the present make picture with my brownie which i got in the last LD. Several roses and the picture is like the painting with the color pens. I was so happy that I know how the picture looks like... But a bit pity that I make it in real, and not in the LD. Then I remember of LDreaming in real I always make RC. Made RC . six fingers. I flew and began to think what to do- to take this browny to the past or to find the camera there... and awoke

Was at hogwarts with the cast. I had long hair and smoked a lot of cigs. Eventually realized I'm dreaming and hid and waited for everyone to leave the hall. I got caught and was sent to class. I didn't go and a professor told me to go over. I looked at his head and think how funny this all is. I leave him and go outside. I'm on my magic carpet. He is havig a hard time flying like I normally do. I keep almost Fallon to the ground from the top of hogwarts towers. I need lessons I think to myself. I keepy trying for a while until I think enough!!! I imagine my neighborhood at my house and try to teleport. Nothing at first. It's reading super hard. I try again. The rain stop and I feel pushing. I open my eyes and I'm there. It's dark and my neighborhood is quiet. I'm I front of mothers house. I have my magic carpet and I get on. At first I'm a little slow to take corners and am just floating *but I start going faster. I'm goin really fast now around the corner of k roundabout and it's breathtaking. I love how amazing the wind feels and how great it feels to be going this fast. I love how real this all is. I decide to stop. I look around like I always do and look in detail At the sidewalk. I notice the infinite detail and think to myself that this cannot be just a dream it's too real. This is a real place, the astral plane. I decide it's time to go inside. I feel a negative presence. Something has my family hostage. Time to fight. I'm excited to do this. I gather my energy and kind of let my body do its thing. This part transcends time as it felt like hours. I was killing people at the speed of light. The kept coming and I kept killing with light balls and martial arts. After my house was clear I grabbed my staff from my room and killed around 50 more people. I can't go into too much detail just killing humans with complicated moves and enormous laughter. I thought to myself that this is my favorite lucid and all my powers are present. The. I hear a powerful and scary voice. Come outside Allen I'm here. I laugh to myself thinking another human to kill and it replies I'm an alien. I bolt outside super speed and yes there it is. It looks like a tranasourous Rex but is a bit different and is glowing neon almost radiation green. It starts running wanting me to chase. I shrug my shoulders and run super speed to try and catch It. As I get closer I sense it's power and it looks insane. I think maybe I'm not ready. This is already super super long let's write it down. I knew it was an excuse but what can I say this thing freaked me out. I woke In a fa at my moms house. Kara was playing super loud music and it was 1 am. Almost time for my wbtb. I am super happy with this lucid and can't wait to tell people. Kara's playing loud music and I tell her to stop. She's laughing and dancing to herself. My mom tells her to stops an d she turns it down. I wake for real

had an unexpected lucid dream with about 2 mg of melatonin + B6 at bed time. it started out in a regular dream where i was in a school walking with someone looking for someone else. i was going up a flight of stairs when i heard the cue from my phone to do a reality check. i am not sure if my actual phone in waking life created this noise, which then transferred into the dream world, but when i woke up it was 15 minutes past the hour. in the dream i thought, this would be a great situation to check my reality in as the scenario is somewhat different. it was not until i did the check that i realized i was dreaming.

The scenary changed and I am back at home, or a version of my home. I am kind of wandering around again at this point but I open a door and go out to a back yard. It was sunny outside and the sprinkler was on. I move the sprinkler away and the grass started to flood. I step into this flooding grass with my bare feet. I actually feel like this decision was not made by me, but I was completely lucid at this point.

I look at water droplets that are in the air from the sprinker and try to suspend and move them with my fingers. It worked. They turned into solid crystals/diamonds and I was able to move them.

I remember something that I wanted to do, but when I try to steer the direction of the dream in the way that I want (changing the setting), I lost a lot of clarity. It felt like I was just imagining it or day dreaming about it in my head, rather than actually being there and doing it. I ended up back in my bedroom, and I actually focus on waking myself up.

The last thing I remember was me sitting on my bed, looking at my own reflection in the TV that I used to have in my room. I think to myself: this is my dream, I can't have a better physique than that?

This lucid dream was not nearly as vivid as the one I had before this (on galantamind). But without a doubt, I was lucid and had some control. I also feel like this proves that my hourly cue to RC actually works. I remember after waking up, I looked at the clock and it was 15 minutes past the hour. The dream felt like it was around 10 minutes, so I do think that hearing the cue while I was dreaming caused me to RC in the dream.

Yesterday, as I was quite energetic because of a WILD in the morning, I decided to try a MILD, which actually worked. I managed to finish another ToTY task, and I'll be flapping my wings in 1 week, that's a bet with one of my friends...

So, getting back to my dream. After repeating the mantra for 15min, I managed to pull an insta-lucid, without having to RC. After a bit of looking around a room I "spawned" in, I looked at a wall, then said "This hotel room from WTC is really nice". I think most of you got what happened... passive control. After this, I got out of the room, and headed to the elevator... in which I had a surprise. It seems that in dreams elevators don't work like they should, resulting in a lucid dreamer being put on a random floor...
I got a little bit revengeful, and, after throwing a fireball at the elevator and exploding it off the building, I just tried a little trick I heard about in DV...
...And learned that it's easy to turn into a human fireball and going straight through the building until the roof. I walked slowly on the building, and as I was about to jump, someone stopped me.
"No! Don't end your life!"...
...I also learned I can rip the head of a DC using telekinesis. Sweet.
I finally jumped, going right through the clouds... I could literally feel the rain drop on my skin. When I was close to the ground, I turned into a fireball, and landed... safely.
After stabilizing the dream, I began to form an big fireball, which I shot at the towers... it almost destroyed them completely, but the remaining parts were used to crush other buildings, with telekinesis..
After a while some marines(may be a DS) appeared and start shooting. This reminded me of the dino dream, and one little tought was enough for 6 tentacles to spring out of my body. I could control them, but I could also let them act for themselves, and that's what I did.
After some good ol' fun I decided to leave, so I could remember my dream... and thats what I did.
After about 30 min, I decided to try my luck at a morning MILD, which I will detail in my next post, which will come in about 1 hour.
Stay tuned!

I was not even planning to get into the LD, but I became conscious in a dream. I immediately applied deepening, but since I didn't have a plan, I had to act according to the circumstances. I decided to have sex and i did. Thou, I knew, that every Lucid Dream, in which i have sex, ends very quickly (understandable). But this was a huge exception. After about 3 mins or so of having sex, I started talking with different characters of my subcounscious. I enjoyed each conversation, while drifting to sleep. My normal dream starts here. It was crazy. I've dreamed that my sex partner, from the previous LD, accused me of raping her and all LD characters I had talked with, knew what we had talked about in real life. It was terrible. I felt like every secret of mine is being leaked from the dream world into the real world. That huge fear and disappointment drifted me into another LD of that night. I've tried everything that I had in my mind, I even got bored so what I did was: flying as fast as possible into the atmosphere and falling back to the Earth slowly slowly. It was very long Lucid Dream. I got drifted back into sleep again. Into the same creepy dream. It was as scary as it could possibly be and I got another LD (3rd), which ended with me waking up finally.

I can honestly say, that this night was one of the longest nights i have ever had. It was as awesome as it was terrible.

My alarm clock on my phone broke (don't ask how that happened), so lately I've been trying to wake up after 6 hours of sleep without any kind of device to help me. And I succeeded today. I woke up, went to the bathroom and went back to sleep. The thought of counscious awakening was going through my head as I drifted into the dream. I managed to exit that dream, so I woke up without moving. And then I had to face my biggest enemy - loud noises (my family was up very early preparing to go to work and they were shouting for no good reason). I decided not to let this chance slip away and performed techniques. it worked immediately. I ended up in the Lucid Dream.

After succesfully entering Lucid Dream I immediately performed deepening. My plan was to try shapeshifting and turn into a wolf. I tried imagining myself becoming one and started running on my hands and legs like a dog, but I failed, so I tried again. After few unsuccessful tries, I started hearing loud noises and thought that it was my parents, so I had to do something. I performed deepening, but still... I lost control and woke up. i tried to re-enter but I failed.

I was on my one and a half weak dry spell and I was not trying to get into the Lucid Dream. But I broke my dry spell, by becoming counscious within a dream. Once I understood that I am in the LD, I immediately tryed to do deepening, but I failed and got thrown back into my body. Refusing to surrender, I somehow managed to reenter my dream. I performed deepening and carried on my plan.

My plan was to talk with my subcounscious and ask for my talent and quick way to earn money. After calling my dream character to talk with me, I started conversation. It was very strange conversation, because she kept asking non related things which I can't remember. After, finally, asking question I wanted to ask, she answered: "Eating". She said it and nothing more after that. That's when my phase ended, after about 10 minutes of being in it.

Dream Character that appeared to talk with me:

Oh, she is beautiful.

Well... let my mind run me on this LD, attempted a WILD before the LD, pretty sure it was a DILD.

I'm in a sunny medow, there is moped next to me, small, red and really slow.
I jump on the moped and begin to ride up the hill, there is a series of train tracks ahead of me, although I do not realise I'm dreaming yet my usual narative is going on.
"Train coming down the ..... track"
I quickly go past that one, approaching the next one I begin to realise the narative,
"Something's not right here, I'm dreaming aren't I..."
I attempt the finger through palm RC but it wont work, I really tried hard on that one.
I see a mushroom on the floor, I want to give myself superpowers so I begin to eat it. It's disgusting.
Everything goes purple, my vision fades in very slowly, but it's still very blury.
I'm in my bedroom, I know somethings wrong, I hear a voice in my head when I look towards the door.
"There's no way to escape, if you try you will die"
Me logically thinking, I go to the door and attempt to escape...
Turning right to go into my parents bedroom a force pulls me back, I struggle at first but I give up after a short time.
I allow myself to float down the stairs into an area in my house that I don't realise, there are strange objects there but I wake up before being able to observe further.

Synopsis: I witness a strange tribal rite of passage that left a child unloved by her parents. Lucid, I jump into a golden swamp with swimming deer and trash.

Tribal Rites and Swamp Swimming Deers
Inside a hotel room, me and a reporter get a first look at an ancient tribal rite of passage from Africa. A young female teenager, naked, sits supported on top of a boys back. She slowly dances using only her upper torso while the boy crawls around with his head tucked into his chest. It was a wierd visual effect, making it look like she had six legs. The dim lights helped with the eerieness.

The dance is over and now the rest of the female teenagers line up to have their bodies inspected by an elder in the tribe. To do so, they strip off their bathing suits. I was talking to the reporter and we both agreed that technically none of the girls were afraid to be naked because this was a nudist tribe, they were only wearing bathing suits because we were in a hotel.

A mother is so proud of her daughter, its like the kids just graduated. Just when I thought the ritual was over I noticed two girls quickly squat down on command, in front of the elder. They were completed folded over, with their foreheads to their knees and their hands tucked in.

But somethings wrong, their backs are completely flat, and so is the back of their heads. Its like something squashed them. They were squished into table shaped people. What could do this? Then I realized their backs were being used as the ground for the ritual, and after so many years, their backs flattened. The elder rearranges them like boxes and yells at one of the girls to stand up.

The reporter was recording the entire event.

The box-girl wanted to perform the rite of passage herself. But before she can even try she's insulted by her own parents for being too fat and ugly. She frowns and chokes back her tears. At this point the reporter says 'Im sorry, I have to stop, her expression is too sour" and walks out the room. The parents insult the girls hideousness some more, then summons everyone to dinner.

I was horrified and pissed off! Magically at this point the family went from black to white.

The family was eating dinner in a private restuarant they rented out. I remember the father screaming at the hungry reporter "Family only!" I had something to say to that man that could make him choke.

"What are you standing there for, youre family too, come on eat J"

I didn't say anything and just left myself. I waited for what felt like hours for the family to finish their over priced meal. I snuck in, into the hotel room of the sleeping girls. I found the "ugly" girl, her hair was curly like mine but softer and lighter in color (like mom). She had a frown even while dreaming. I whispered softly to her

"Not matter what your parents say or think, you will grow up to be the most beautiful"

Then her frown changed into a smile and she continued to dream sweetly. I felt like my dream mission was done, which made me realize - hey Im dreaming.

Excited to be lucid I run around looking for something to do. A whole laundry lists of dream tasks pops into mind. Maybe I should do that, maybe this. I found a library. Maybe that can offer me intriguing information about the subconscious, nah that sounds like it'll take forever. So I continue running. Then I find an air hockey table. But playing made my dream abstract. Afraid it'll make my dream unstable, I stopped playing and looked for something more useful.

Thats when I finally find a door out of the hotel.

Outside was a swampy marshland, with golden grass growing in the water, and golden water shimmering with the morning sun.

"THAT!" I was so excited I couldn't even finish my sentance, but I found what my lucid dream was about.

I noticed deer were swimming in the swamp, with only their heads above the water. So its deeper than it looks. I dive on in! The water feels so real it makes me think for a moment that maybe ive lost my mind and im really awake. Its cold. Its slimy. It smells like a swamp smells, and theres a dead frog floating next to me.

Im grossed out but I remind myself its just a dream and im not going to get any diseases. I swim with the swamp deer for a few minutes. The waves grow and grow. The height of the waves covered my view, hiding the human boats on the other side creating them. We were almost run over. Its so hard to swim fast! Giant boxes and random items float our way atop the waves. It felt like the humans were trying to corner the deer. It was working. Scared, the deer swim away to the other end of the swamp where the water was shallow. Theres a fence and more boxes preventing them from fleeing.

I look at the humans on their boats and im pretty mad at them for ruining my swamp. Then I wake up.

DJ Log: February 2, 2012 – 11:15PM (USA Eastern)
• NON-DREAM • NOTES • DREAM • LUCID •

I am clicking around the 'net and almost fall asleep in my chair. I decide that I should hop in bed and take a quick nap. The time is ~9:45pm. I lay down and fall asleep very quickly.

I awaken from a minimalistic dream, standing in darkness. I realize that I had just awakened, but I must still have my eyes closed because I cannot see anything at all. Knowing this, I decide to make an attempt at DEILD. I concentrate on keeping my eyes closed and then I try to remember where I was just a moment ago. I remember that I was laying in my bed, trying to remember what the dream was about. I cannot recall even the smallest detail, other than I was just dreaming.

Suddenly, I make the realization that I am not laying in my bed, but I am standing. Before I can gather myself together and stabilize, I wake up.

I try hard to immediately settle down, but my eyes are wide open and I am too alert and excited to re-enter the dream state, much less return to sleep right away.

I woke up this morning, feeling groggy and my eyes didn't want to open. I brought my fingers up to my nose and pinched my nostrils shut, then took a deep breath. I felt the air fill my lungs. I was instantly aware. Alright! FalseAwakening! I jumped out of bed with eagerness and opened the curtains, it was dark out. I rubbed my hands together and examined the room. "Well, time to visit my dream harem" I thought to myself. I walked down the hall and out the front door. Instinctively blocking the cat from bolting out of the house.

I stepped out on the front porch and looked around. It was quiet, a few leaves rolled across the ground with the help of the wind. I looked into the sky. To the east it was dark and the stars shimmered. To the west, it was bright and blue, with big white fluffly clouds that slowly moved across the clear blue sky. "No time to waste" I thought to myself. I strolled across the street where my dream harem was so conveniently located.

I opened the door, and walked in. I looked around. Nothing... No one to be seen. I checked the backrooms. They were all empty. I walked back through the house toward the front door. No point in sticking around here. I opened the front door to walk out. What is this?

I stepped out of the front door into a mall. Now I know I'm dreaming... I hate the mall. "Really!?!?" I said. I looked over the glass barrier. I was looking down at the food court. It was full of people sitting around and eating. Maybe I'll go get something to eat, I'm feeling hungry. I changed my mind, I knew what I could do. I glanced around at the store fronts. Clothing... Shoes... Pets... Hmmm, this looks intresting...

I walk into the store. The smell of burning incense filled the air. Blacklight posters covered the walls. The shelves are full of miscellaneous items. I walk by the register with a DC staring at me. I gave him the finger and then walked down the aisle. Mugs... Computers... Hand sanitizer... Here we are, fireworks. I look over the selection, I picked up some blackcats. "Lady fingers there has to be something better than this" I thought. I looked back down at the shelf then smiled. I dropped the blackcats and picked up something that should have been illegal even in my own mind. A long string of firecrackers, each cracker seemed to be about the size of a stick of dynamite. This will do...

I walked back towards the front of the store, knocking a few things off the shelves on my way. I stopped at the register, and grabbed a lighter from the display. I gave the DC clerk the finger once more. I strolled back to the mezzanine and looked over the side. Still full of people mindlessly chattering and eating. I went to light the Dynacrackers, the fuse was already lit. "Hmmm, that's not safe". I smiled, and then threw them over the side to the center of the food court. I looked down and waited.

They started going off, there was no sound, but the sight was spectacular. DCs were being blown across the food court. French Fries, hamburgers, and pizza flying along side the DCs. Broken chairs and tables now littered the food court. The floors were charred with large gray and black burn marks. I could smell gun powder in the air. Chaos and destruction, my job here was done. All this mayhem really stimulated my appetite. I decided to go down, and see if there was any food left. I woke up on my way to the escalator.

So, I've just taken up ToTY, but since I joined late, I had to move faster than ever. That's why I love WILD, which will allow me to LD more than 1 time a day...
...now, let's begin with the dream.
As I enter the dream, even if I WILDed, I didn't realise it was a dream. I was just floating around in a void... until the dream started to form around me, causing lucidity. While I was gazing at the colors and shapes, there it is. My dream, formed.
The shapes around me seem futuristic, and my immediate thought is just to to fly. As I was looking around, I see a nuclear power plant, which makes me remember ToTY...
That means one thing. PORTAL TIME! While in the portal, I can see the dream reforming, and finally, I reach my destination. The nuclear test zone. I immediately thought to ask them to drop the bomb so I could get under it, but they've got ahead of me. The nuclear device was falling, and I couldn't be happier about it...
The next second, the atomic bomb hit me.. I felt a slight tingle, then a force, a kind of air pressure, pushing me down.. I was able to stand up, but hardly. Fortunately, in 5 seconds it stopped, and everywhere was just white. After 10 second, some gray entered the white, extending, expanding...
The gray surrounded me, then floated away, making me realize it was just smoke!
All of the DCs there looked amazed at me as I was walking to them, but while I was waiting to be greeted as a hero, they started to shoot me... which resulted in some old, good, fireballs kicking their asses... after some fighting, my dream started to blur a little, and they actually throwed another bomb on top of me, confusing me even more... I began to hear a faint BEEEP which got louder and louder until I woke up, because of my alarm... Sadly, this wasn't a WILD, but at least I did one of the ToTY taks...
I'll try in my next posts the Titanic one, so take care!

I have a sit down with my old general manager of Red Lobster to try to get back working there again. She hires me. When I show up to work for my first day I ask one of the servers if the menu is still the same from when I worked there. They tell me it pretty much is and hand me a menu. I look it over and find that not much has changed at all. I go through the selection of sides in my head. Baked Potato, Mashed Potato, French Fries, Broccoli, or Rice...still got it! I look at what starting section they put me in, and it's a really shitty one... not near the windows at all - where most of the customers like to be to see the water. That's expected though, they needed to start me out easy. I also notice next to my name on the seating chart the written words "Only 1%". I assumed that that meant I only get 1% of my pay or tips which is extremely disappointing but I am sure it was only for that day because of starting. Suddenly I have to use the restroom so I enter the bathroom. The stalls had no walls and after I was done I was thinking about what an invasion of privacy that was.
I look down at my hand and realize I have a dark grey smudge on it. I go up to the bathroom sink and see that the dark smudging is also all over my face. I try to wash it off but somehow it gets all over my clothes. Shit! I pump some soap hoping that it might help me get rid of it all faster. My clothes get all wet, but after a few minutes of washing, I end up looking somewhat okay. I walk outside and the speak with the hostess - a thin girl with blonde, chin length hair.

"Hey Nick, I sat you but no one knew where you were and we couldn't find you. So I had to move them to someone else's section. Also, some of the servers say you need to give them some tables anyway so they can make money."

I look at her. "I don't care what the other servers say, sit me anyway. And let me know when you do. I'm not going anywhere."

I walk around and notice there are some stairs that are leading to a basement with dancing music blasting inside. Since when did Red Lobster get a night-club? I walk down there and bump into my old roommate Amaliah on the way.

"Hey! I didn't know you were here."

"Oh I come here all the time! I love this place! Let's go in!"

I follow her inside but it's very dark and hard to see. An Asian guy walks up to me that I recognize as one of my coworkers.

"Follow me Nick." he said.

He leads me to another room of the nightclub and then the dream fades. The moment everything turns black I realize I am dreaming

I start spinning and fighting to save the dream now that I was lucid. I keep thinking that I want the dream scene to change into something beautiful. When the dream finally does re-appear I am in a hilly countryside next to a flowing creek. There are miniature horses grazing among yellow flowers. They are about the size of toy dogs. Very cute. I stabilize the dream a bit and admire the clarity. Everything looks and feels so real. Even the water from the creek which I put my legs in feels nice. I see a few baby ducks waddling through the grass. It's very relaxing. I try to pet some of the little horses but they are skittish and run away from me. A few of them jump into the creek and swim to the other side. Then everything disappears and I am back awake in my bed :/

i was standing in a house when i became lucid. this time i took more time than i normally would to stabilize i rubbed my hands together and rubbed my feet on the carpet and i grabbed part of this arch that was right next to me and felt it a little i noticed a box on the floor and i wanted a gun so i could shoot through the wall so i went to open it and it was a smaller box inside a smaller box a bout 6 times so i said the next one is what i want. so i reached in without looking and pulled out an old WW2 rifle and shot this door and it deteriorated and it was dark inside the door. i went in and it was a maze but the walls were made if wooden poles so i could see through them. i was walking through the maze and there were statues of people made of stone and i started asking the statues if they were my dream guide and a couple said no. i came up to this one that look like more of a real person, it was this huge Italian man about 6' 5" with a loss of hair but what he had was black. i asked him if he was my dream guide and he said yes i couldnt believe i had found him so i said "really?" and he responded sarcastically "no im not your dream guide". it was kind of funny and at that point i knew it was him. we hung out for a bit and talked about personally things and then i went to the bathroom cause i had to go real bad which when i woke up i really did.
