    Lucid Dreams

    1. 1 Aug: Sleep paralysis, FA and flying around lucid

      by , 08-01-2019 at 08:43 PM (Lucid-schizo-dreamer)
      non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

      I think I had a WILD. Don't remember exactly what happened but think I fell asleep, experienced brief sleep paralysis with audio hallucinations, like people talking. Then a false awakening. Confusion lasted only a few seconds. Realized right away I had fallen asleep and became lucid. But it wasn't an interesting dream. I was just at some dark place. I flew around. Felt lucidity fading, so I looked into my hands. Then plunged into the ground and continued flying through some new scenario. Not much happened because I didn't have a plan.
    2. 2 lucid dreams!

      by , 08-01-2019 at 05:02 PM
      Fragment: I remember having my limbs swell up at certain parts

      Lucid 1: I dont remember this Lucid at all sadly. I wrote the second one first since it was more important to me. I just know that this one was very short.*(I also did the nose plug for this one)

      Lucid 2:I am at my house and i notice something is off. I think i become lucid from the heightened awareness I had from the past lucid. I do the nose plug RC, and sure enough I am in a dream.

      This lucid I was much more lucid and less drowsy then lucids from before.

      I stop and think of what I want to do. I start and think of what I should do. I think that I should experiment some more with flying and dream control.

      This time i get very close to flying.

      I start running across the yard, I jump once. It was basically a normal jump. I jump again. I'm twice as high. I keep on jumping and every time I'm getting higher. At one point. I am pretty far up and I decide to fall down and do nothing. I basically take a laying posture in the air and let it happen, trusting that nothing bad will happen.

      I hit the ground. Hard. But I feel nothing, at all. It was great. I continue my jumping thing and decide to try and start flying. I failed basically. The closes I got was swimming, and I could oy dothat about 2 meters away from the ground
      (this shows my actual lucidity, as I said this is one of the highest lucids I have gotten(a part from my first)but I'm still not that good at control and I'm still thinking about waking life a bit)

      I decide to swim to town on the roads since I was going pretty fast.

      I get there pretty soon and I spot many weird looking buildings, I ignore them and jump on the roof on a random building.

      I am having a blast, so I decide to calm myself down. I do that and then get an idea. I thought of some people sword fighting and decide to get to a arena. I dont know how I should so I summon a book. I think really hard. Knowing I can do this. I close my eyes for some reason. But soon the book is in my hand. Almost like it came from thin air.

      I open the book and see many sections. But I want to go to the map. So I look for the m's, takes a good 10 seconds but eventually I find it.

      I look for the arena and I see it. The coordinates are f'd up though. I see two other places and the coordinates are normal. I decide I should just try to teleport to it. I close my eyes and will it. I get close it feels. But I wake up into a FA
      .

      FA: In this FA I am completely naked in bed and everyone in my house enters my room and talks to me about something. It took a long ass time for them to go away.

      This is great progress. Because I've never had 2 lucids in one night. I may not remember my first one. But i am 100% confident that it was a lucid. These lucids may be pretty boring sounding in others eyes. But these are fun as hell because they meant one thing. Progress.

    3. July Competition 19 long and cool lucid

      by , 07-31-2019 at 09:39 PM
      dream starts with sexual content i skip

      ...i walk with the girl and we pass a meadow next to a house. she tells me she doesnt like the city. i say why not its not that bad and its kind of green and other citys are worse. we some dog babys and the mother some of them starts barking but the mother keeps them back and educate them. one of them runs at me and i kick it away. one of them is more like just a face on the ground and morphs into a butterfly. my awareness rises. we reach a canon and i get lucid doing a rc. i ask her if she wants to fly with me and start flying. i reach the ground and meet some people. they are something like superheroes? one of them has a problem with me. i fly further to a woman who greets me in a very friendly manner (maybe with a kiss?) i tell her that in the following 24h i can help her. the group of "heroes" arrives and the guy that had a problem with me pushes me with his thoughts away and laughs. i come back and remember that telekinesis is not that difficult and start concentrating and do a gesture with my hand. suddenly his face get serious and a second later he flys up 5m in the air and crashes in the ground again. i lough my ass of because it looked funny like hell.
      the dream fades and i am in another dream. i do a rc and still dreaming. i find my self indoors. i phase myself slowly thru many layers of walls and rooms and wooden construction out and climb some parts. i am on a roof now and jump from roof to roof. i want to find me some icecream. i jump down and see some people that look like they sell ice on big bicycles like it is typical in mexico but everytime they come closer the just transport paint for some reason. i cant find ice and have a FA. i sit at a table eating icecream. i do another RC and again still dreaming. i get up and look out for icecream again to finish the task. i ask a young guy at a corner of a street. he tells me he doesnt have some but i tell him he should look behind him and when he does suddenly he has some icecream. i am happy and pay him some coins. its ice made out of coca cola. i continue my way and notice i am in the suburban train station. i want to get out but dont want to phase all the way out so i phase straight thru the walls and imagine to be outside and after the second wall flying thru i find myself outside. i fly up a building because i want to see the sunset. after founding a good place to be i do another handgesture to let the sun go down. i am a little out of practice so it doesnt work immediately suddenly there are one or two guys next to me and distracting me with talking shit and how it doesnt work. the sun goes down but the visuals get super bad like in dark night and i start to calm down rub my hands and focus on the dream. i tell him that for his reason i didnt notice the sunset properly. i try to get the sun up again but it doesnt work. i switch the roof and remember that the sun goes up from the opposite side so i turn around and fair enough see a nice sunrise. i jump and fly thru several roofs and found a well painted arty house. i enter thru the roof and explore the inside. there is a lot of art in the rooms. i see a woman lying in a bed and aproach her. i resist to start something and just pass into another room where i see another person sleeping i think its a boy but then it turns out to be a guy. i phase out and think about what to do next and remember Dreamers method of narrating the dream to remember it better so i think what happend so far. something happens and the dream destabilizes but this time its not getting black but white. i go into it and let it happen. everything around me spins and patterns appear a short moment of drawings. i ask a question to the dream: what to do/work? a new dreamscene appears and a guy talks with me he wants to tell me something but dont remember the word in the end he tells me something about a doctor or that i should be a dentist. im not sure about it and ask him what about physiotherapy he tells me that its possible but i wont learn to much there.
      i phase into a house and i feel its mine. i enter the kitchen and eat a fresh cherry and think what to do. i feel like the dream is hell long and try to remember how fast i got lucid so that the REM might be very long. i want to meditate a little but i feel like the dream destabilize
      but i let it go to not forget to much about it.

    4. A Fishy Thalmor Tale

      A Fishy Thalmor Tale

      2019, 07-30

      Regular Dream - Semi-lucid Dream - Lucid Dream - Notes

      I am going out to eat with my mother and a friend from a past job named Evelyn. We are at a place that sells fast food seafood, similar to Long John Silvers, but a different place. There is a sign in the window saying they have a special going on, a full meal for $10. My mom says that won’t work because it’s limited to one use of the offer per order, and there are three of us. I say we can just go in and order separately. They seem hesitant to do that, Evelyn says she doesn’t think they’ll let us get away with that. I tell them I’ll go in and get my meal first, they can follow after.

      I go inside the restaurant and tell the cashier I want a shrimp meal, the $10 deal. The cashier looks at me strangely and then calls to someone behind her. A manager steps forward and says he needs to talk to me in the back office. One of the other customers tells me not to go, it’s a trap. What kind of trap could a fast food place set up? I consider grabbing my food and running for it but my curiosity gets the better of me and I follow the employees into the back room, taking my bag of food with me. I start munching on breaded shrimp. As I eat it occurs to me that I never paid for this… but no one seems to care.

      We get to the back office and I stop immediately, drop my bag of shrimp, and I do a double take at who I see. There are three Thalmor standing behind a large desk! THALMOR! What the fus are the Thalmor doing here? They obviously need to be fus’d! One of them is in robes while the other two are in elvish armor. The one in robes says it has come to their attention that I have been interfering with their operations and making a general nuisance of myself. I can’t help but laugh. I then thank them for the compliment, adding that I do my best to get in their way. The Thalmor looks angry, his eyes briefly seem to glow.

      After a pause, the Thalmor asks if I even have a clue who they are. I say I do. In the past I would have seen Templars, now I’m seeing Thalmor, but I know what they are and what they are and what they are trying to do. And they will fail. The tower will stand, the rose will be preserved, the Gunslinger will complete his quest. I say these things without even realizing what I am about to say, but it all sounds true. The Thalmor says those are big claims from someone who may never leave this room. I say they can’t keep me here, because this is a dream…

      This is a dream! I become lucid by realizing if the Thalmor are here I must be dreaming. I tell them that to leave I simply have to wake up. But before I go, a fus. Yes, a fus is definitely in order here. FUS-RO-DAH! The force of it throws the three Thalmor against the wall and blows everything off of the desk. Papers are settling around the stunned Thalmor. The other people in the room are also stunned by the fus. I turn around and walk out of the room without interference. I return to the front of the store to see if my mom and Evelyn are still there. I was going to tell them it’s a dream, but they’re not there. I decide to fly a bit but I wake up.
    5. Breaking Dryspell

      by , 07-30-2019 at 07:02 PM
      After a 5 day dry-spell, I managed to have a lucid dream this morning.

      - Wake up at 6:15 A.M
      - WBTB period was 115 minutes including reading and working my computer for a coding assignment.
      - Go to sleep at roughly 8:30 A.M with needing to get ready for work at 9:45 A.M(Yikes)

      There was a point where in the middle of my nap, I wake up again for 20 seconds. I instinctively "[got] present to the moment." That's all I'm thinking during that micro-waking. "Get present". It's this thing where I take a mental pause, clear my mind and focus on the here and now. I also sort of focus on where my Frontal Sinus is located - between my eyebrows. I don't accept the existence of a "third eye" so more testing needs to be done. I fall asleep like that and later on I recognize that I am dreaming.

    6. The End of the Beginning

      by , 07-30-2019 at 12:12 AM (Bridger's Oneironautic Expeditions)
      I'm driving my car through a neighborhood around sunset time when I spontaneously realize I might be dreaming. I continue to drive the car, talking to myself about being lucid and focusing. I park the car on the side of the road and step outside. I walk to the front of the car and touch the hood before getting down on my hands and knees and feeling the pavement. I pick up a handful of dust and dirt from the road and roll it around in my hand. I want to sit down somewhere, so I imagine a bench on the other side of the road and release the dirt from my hand imagining it transforming into the bench. It was hard to do this, however, so it doesn't happen, but when I look farther up, a bench is there in front of me. I go to sit down and just observe around me for a while. I look up at the sky which has gorgeous colors of sunset with light and dark blues contrasting the streaks of clouds floating stationary high above. A bird also flies over head. I imagine the bird swooping down towards me, and sure enough, it heads straight at me with great speed. I duck out of the way exclaiming how close it was. The bird jumps up on the bench, and wants to climb on my finger. I hold it out but realize the bird is larger than I thought. It looks like a fluffy falcon or hawk with some kind of fancy feathers crowning the top of its head. I hold out my whole hand instead and it leaps onto it. A group of people comes up to me and starts talking, including me in their conversation. The whole time they're talking, I feel like the dream is speeding up and I try to slow it down by keeping myself grounded. Eventually, they walk away but I want to remember their names. I ask them but I can't recall any of them. Looking down at the concrete, I see the small ridges and patterns on top characteristic of smoothed concrete. I get down on the ground until my eyes are level with the ridges and imagine the sides of the ridges being trees with a path running down the middle. As I get up slowly, I find myself in the forest, still with the group I was talking to. The trees sway overhead, but I soon wake up.

      The title of this dream is to commemorate my physical dream journal being completed by this entry. May the second journal be more amazing than the first!

    7. Grasping at Summer

      by , 07-26-2019 at 11:52 PM (Bridger's Oneironautic Expeditions)
      Woke up with my second alarm and attempted to do some MILDing again which appears to get me more engaged once I'm dreaming...

      I'm walking up a set of stairs in what I know is large hotel, when I suddenly realize I might be dreaming. Performing a reality check confirms my suspicions and I try to ground myself.I do the "clarity now" call out and makes my vision tingle like before. I get on my hands and knees and fell the floor which is a soft carpet. When I stand up, I know what my dream intention is and I say out loud, "I want to experience the essence of summer." I imagine a door behind me and there is, although, when I open it there is only another set of stirs going down. I follow the stairs down to large room in which people are gathered around in a large semi- circle. I walk into the middle of the group before the dream fades away

    8. Break In DILD

      by , 07-26-2019 at 01:00 AM (Inner World حلم Gamma Waves)
      We were hiding from a gunmen inside a house. I then could hear him entering the rooms near me in till he came to the one I was in. I made a grab for the gun but he slips pass it and backs up quick. I then realize I was dreaming and knew he couldn't hurt me. I change the way he behaved and made him non violent and a little unintelligent. I then walk outside and started chasing after people to scare them away. After that I woke up

    9. Working for Awareness

      by , 07-17-2019 at 01:21 AM (Bridger's Oneironautic Expeditions)
      I woke up with my second alarm and went straight back to lying down attempting to MILD again. I must have dozed off for a little bit as I come back to awareness with a bright white rectangle close to my face. I imagine it as a computer screen and sure enough, I start to focus on the URL at the top of the screen repeating to myself that I am dreaming. I feel my body start to enter sleep paralysis and I hear some strange noises. I try to wake myself up out of panic by trying to think of my bedroom, but I can only think about work and sitting at my desk looking at my computer screen. I let it happen and suddenly pop into the dream by WILD

      It's difficult to move at first, but I get out of the office chair I'm sitting in and do a reality check. My fingers pass easily through my hand and I feel that I am already more aware because of WILDing instead of DILDing. I want to get outside so I walk to the stairwell and find it blocked by a vending machine. It swings out of the way without effort, though, and I walk down. The stairs get very narrow with more blockages along the way, but I finally make it out into a grassy hill. In front of me are mountains with many homes built around the base. To my left it looks like some plains with a dust devil or small tornado. I sit down cross legged in the grass to boost my awareness. I once again perform a reality check which I do easily. I then say out loud, "Clarity now", in a calm but commanding voice and my vision becomes pixelated-like for a split second and a sound like a high pitched ring occurs. It subsides leaving me with a much clearer vision and more awareness, and I'm stunned for a minute that it worked so well. I decide I want to talk to my subconscious so I start walking down a street with houses on both sides. I imagine a bench on the left side while looking at my hands and sure enough, I look up and a bench is there, although a little lopsided. I sit down and ask to speak with my subconscious. Out of the right side of my vision, a blonde girl walks towards the house that I'm facing. She greets me and walks in some side entrance to open the front door for me. I thank her and walk inside. She starts talking to me but I'm trying to focus on staying aware and I tell her this. I remark that I need to work on making my awareness - boosting routine get my awareness in the dream to last longer. When I finally sit down, she starts talking to me again, but the dream fades out quickly.
    10. 2 for 2

      by , 07-16-2019 at 05:14 PM
      I've have had at least 2 lucid dreams in the past two days. I think I may have figured out what is causing me to have lucid dreams. It was never the specific technique or the meditation. It was the fact that I was staying awake for 90 minutes then falling back to sleep with the intention to lucid dream. 90 minutes is not a magic number. It's about fully waking up - when the mind/body least wants to - and stretching the rubber band of sleep deprivation. Then we release that tension by lying down and quickly falling asleep with no other thought than to recognize the next time we dream. Some experts would describe this as REM rebound. One must figure out how their mind/body relate to sleep deprivation and REM sleep during the WBTB period.



      For my next dream goal, I am going to get a dream character to tell me their name.

    12. Skyrim: The Captain Gets Fus'd!

      by , 07-12-2019 at 04:55 AM (Lydia's Game of Dreams)
      2019, 07-11

      Regular Dream - Semi-lucid Dream - Lucid Dream - Notes

      I am playing Skyrim VR, starting at the beginning. Ralof is across from me, Ulfric is to my right, Lokir is across from Ulfric. Lokir is being extremely rude. He won’t shut and two out of every three words is an expletive. He is directing his torrent of obscenity at Ulfric, who is completely ignoring him. Ralof tries to tell Lokir not to talk to the rightful high king of Skyrim like that, but gives up. Lokir sees me staring at him and takes a break from Ulfric to curse at me. I ask if he talks to his mother with that filthy mouth. He gives me one final, “Fuck you!” before going back to cursing at Ulfric.

      We arrive in Helgen and stop. I see the Imperial Captain and say to no one in particular that I really wish I could fus her ass. I look at Ulfric. He could fus her. I say I’ll get that gag off of him if he’ll fus the Captain. He looks at me strangely. Did he hear me? But other characters can’t hear what I say, they only hear the dialog choices I make… But then Lokir had seemed to hear me, too… wtf? Did I add a mod that includes voice recognition and explicit language?

      Ulfric and Ralof are on the list, then Lokir insists he’s not a (expletives) Stormcloak and he hates that (expletives) traitor Ulfric. The Captain doesn’t believe him so he then turns his expletives on her, calling her a list of rude names I won’t repeat even though I agree with them. He then makes a run for it and is shot in the back by an archer. Hadvar says my name isn’t on the list, but the Captain says I should be killed anyway. Lokir used every expletive in the book, so I settle with telling the Captain to go fus herself. I would love to be able to fus her right off of a cliff.

      Alduin swoops over the town, bathing everything in fire. I follow Ralof into the closest tower. Ralof and Ulfric and a few other Stormcloaks come out the hole in the wall, though after a blast of fire from Alduin the other Stormcloaks are either killed or separated leaving Ralof, Ulfric, and me. Hadvar and the Captain attack Ulfric specifically, saying he’s not getting away. I get to see the Captain get fus’d after all. Ulfric fus’s her right as Alduin makes another pass, so she gets fus’d and then toasted! I exclaim, “That was AWESOME!” Ulfric looks at me like he thinks I’m insane. He can hear me! I’d better watch what I say or everyone in Skyrim will think I’m a total psycho.

      The rest of the opening quest goes pretty normal except for Ulfric is with Ralof and me. Then we are out and Ulfric wants to know if I know what fus means. “Of course I do, it means force. Ro means balance, dah means push. Now if I can just kill a few dragons I can do my own fus’ing…” Alduin flies overhead. “But not that one… I’m not ready for that one yet.” So the sooner I head off the Whiterun the sooner I will get the first word! I head down the path then wake up.
    13. A very vivid Ld.

      by , 07-11-2019 at 03:04 PM
      This was a very big dream so I can't remember all of it, but I become lucid for a bit!

      Lucid 1:This dream is set in a another world, it just looks so different from our world. Like the culture is different. I am in something that could be called a hotel, but it is very dangerous as it is inflatable.

      My WL friend is getting married to his gf. And I meet him. We climb up a wall that I'd right next to the hotel and have a conversation that I do not remember. Then he gives me money.

      Somehow I drop 15 bucks in a crack on the big inflatable hotel and I climb on it to get it. Apparently I was too heavy for it. And I made it really wobbly. Causing the top part to inflate and go down. I quickly leave with m (my friend) after grabbing the money.


      Dream cuts. And I wake up, I have no idea if this was irl or if it was a FA. But I do my first DEILD. I don't enter lucid, but my heightened awareness makes the dream a lot more vivid.

      I am walking. Where too I do not know. But eventually I find myself at m's wedding. He is eating with his fiance at the wedding. Before they got married which is weird I notice, but hey.

      Right there I stop myself. A am silent thinking to myself "could this be a lucid dream" I decide to do my reality check. I do the nose plug rc, and there it is. I am dreaming! I get very excited, because this is one of the most vivid Ld's I've had.

      I get ready to this and to do that. But I stop myself. I remember what I've been wanting to do. But I don't do it. I don't need too.

      I decide to passively observe the dream. It was a weird experience, because I was lucid. But I wasn't controlling myself. It was almost like watching a movie.

      I go on to help martial set up his wedding, and watch him do it. I didn't think to eat any cake because I was passively observing, but I should of. I always wanted to eat something in a LD.


      This was honestly a new experience, because one, I always have low level LD's. This was literally like my second high level LD(and I know why. I've been practicing the RRC and it has heightened my awareness a lot. I'm also preparing to start meditation.) And two, I became a passive observer. Even though I'm new to LD'ing I didn't lose control of myself. Which in my books is an achievement.

      Also I'm pretty sure that I walked through a forest trail in the dream I just can't remember when (I walk through trails a lot in dreams)

      I have a second dream, but it was basically just me watching a couple have sex. Too boring to write all of the details down.

    14. Log 1535 - The Unyielding Giant

      by , 07-11-2019 at 12:45 AM (Dream Logs DWN-12)
      Created Wednesday 10 July 2019

      Got a DILD and two fragments today.

      Scrap Group 1
      WBTB.

      Just an all around horrible dream. Really bummed me out for a moment after waking up.

      Something about watching TV. All the known channels were slightly off by a few digits.

      WBTB.

      Dream 1 - The Unyielding Giant

      Scene 1 - Big Menace vs. Big Ego
      The visuals were a bit blurred. Wasn't sure where I was, save that the surroundings were really smoky. I got aware within seconds.

      Just then, a bunch of people rushed past me in a panic. It soon became apparent why: a colossal figure was chasing after them. The mist disperses enough to reveal a brutish giantess, light skinned, stout and muscular, square-jawed, and brown hair ragged and short. She was dressed in a shabby, patchwork burlap tunic, and trousers and shoes to match.

      Two would-be victims tripped over themselves. Just before they were caught, I (via grandiose arcing gestures) opened a portal directly below the giantess, buying enough time for the two people to escape. Unwittingly, I'd dropped the savage menace into quicksand. It took only seconds for her to sink out of view. Reckoned she'd suffocate within a few seconds, if that. I began closing the portal, only to wind up in the giantess' clutches. She then dragged me with her to share her fate.

      We soon were plummeting down a vast pit. The giantess forcefully held me lower than herself. With a hoarse, booming tone, she gloated on about her durability, claiming she'd survive any fall, while questioning if I could do the same. In time, a torch-lit surface could be seen below. As we drew closer, I realized I would be dashed head-first into a huge gargoyle (comparatively just a garden gnome to the ogress). I braced myself...

      Pang! I was left in a daze. When I come to, I find myself in a rock-cut underground site, something like an Egyptian temple, only scaled up to gargantuan proportions. More pertinently, I saw the giantess nearby, writhing semi-consciously. l lowered my guard, thinking this over, just to get seized in her grasp again. I was helpless, restrained entirely, save for my own right hand. Clenching my fist, I caused a localized earthquake. The structure soon collapsed onto itself. So too did the ground below. Such deafening destruction let me free from her grip. But, debris struck me, and forced me to fall along with it to lower depths.

      About a minute later, I was in another vast ancient underground site, one carved from slate. Broke my fall just before hitting pavement. I looked around, and find the ogress prone on the ground. Foolishly, I floated above her in glory, only for her to instantly stand back up, and capture me yet again. The giantess wasted no time to start crushing me in her hands, and she even threatened to eat me once I was half-dead. This time, I'd no limbs to spare. But I still had my voice. With all that was left of my breath, I shouted "Fus!" The force staggered her just enough loosen her grip on me. I used this chance to 'power up'. Then, in a moment's notice, I rocketed out of the giantess' hand, flew around her, and tackled her on the back of her knee. The brute was swept off her feet, and struck the hard earth head-first on her back.

      I stand triumphant, certain that I was victorious. But, almost instantaneously, she was looming over me in fury once more. Here we go again...

      Things warp.

      Scene 2 - More Mundane Applications of Time Travel
      Similar visuals. I was working in a restaurant as a server. I'd temporarily lost lucidity, but regained it quickly. Still, I couldn't think of much better to do than follow the 'plot'.

      I ask some diners, two guys in their twenties, whether they were enjoying the food. One of them complained that the lunch meat in their sandwich wasn't cooked as they wanted. I apologized, and offered to return it. But instead, I rewind time back to before the food would be prepared in the kitchen. Once I had it in hand, I put the sandwich, meat-first, back on the grill.

      The dream collapsed shortly after.

    15. A Guide to Myself

      Before I began dreaming, I was attempting the MILD after my second to last alarm went off, but so far, I had not yet fallen back asleep and was concerned my final alarm would be going off at any moment...

      I'm arriving home at night to a house that I'm not familiar with. Walking up to the door, I notice a lot of bicycles in the front yard. As I walk over to some of them, Goose, my GF's dog, runs up to me all energetic and he starts poking his head through the spokes trying to bite at them. I continue to walk up to the door. Once I enter, I see everyone sitting around nursing drinks I assume to be alcoholic. More than my roommates are there, though, and it feels like the end of a big party. Before walking farther in, we get on the subject of dreaming, and I break into a lesson for everyone. I tell them exactly what I was trying to do this morning, "Set your usual alarm clock time in the morning, but also go back 90 to 100 minutes before that and set another alarm. Get out of bed with this alarm, go to the bathroom or something, then go back to sleep all while repeating the phrase in your head, 'the next scene will be a dream'." I say how it's a good way to induce lucid dreams called the MILD method after implementing the WBTB method. I walk all the way into the main room now and sit with a couple guys discussing what I had said. They talk about weird things that could pop up in dreams like a duck wearing a leather jacket. I agree with them and ask them if they would question whether they were dreaming or not after they saw that. I also make a joke by saying "Duck Gun" trying to relate the ducks and leather jackets to Top Gun. It feels stupid but both of the other guys laugh. Suddenly, I get the feeling to do a reality check since I realize I've just been talking about them before. I push my fingers through my other hand successfully and realize I'm dreaming. I look around the room for a second trying to stay calm. There's a lot more people now, all of them talking. I want to go back outside so I get up to leave when one of the guys I was talking to also gets up and shakes my hand. It takes me a couple attempts to get his name right, but apparently it was "Lemon". I walk outside to find it's a brilliant sunny day. Summer comes to mind as spots of vibrant colors, I assume to be from flowers, cover my peripheral vision with large trees over the road in front of the house. It appears I'm in a neighborhood. There's a small picnic table with a pull out bench in the front yard and I go over and sit down. I try grounding myself in the dream more by looking over my hands and touching the wooden bench, feeling the grains and knots in the wood. A friend comes out of the house talking in a very sad voice, but I'm pre-occupied with maintaining my awareness. I suddenly decide to toss the bench I've been sitting on far away just to see what it would do. My roommate comes outside too, and I tell him I just threw the bench to infinity. As I watch it, I see it catch the wind, though, and it falls back in to the neighborhood some distance away. The idea of flying comes to me so I prepare to do this. Instead of my normal routine of jumping into the air to begin, however, I decide to be more controlled with it. I hold out my arms and imagine myself floating off the ground. Before I leave the ground, everyone leaves in a car and the wind becomes a bit gusty. Suddenly, I find myself starting to float. It's working! I continue to focus, also taking note of the surroundings. The wind starts to carry my off, much like a hot air balloon. As I'm drifting with the wind, I try to ground myself more and think of the next thing I want to do, but I wake up
