LD#13 DILD/WILD/OBE?

Monday, 1/9/12 Bed 2am

Before bed last night I read Waggoner’s Lucid dreaming book, I just finished it, as a matter of fact.

Last pages deal with inducing DILDs via MILD. Formal and informal suggestions. I specifically paid attention to part from Castaneda’s book “The road to…”, how don Juan was telling him to look at his hands in his dream and Castaneda didn’t understand, how in the heck is he suppose to do it.

So I looked at my hands while saying “tonight in my dream I will look at my hands and realize I’m dreaming”. I also said this every time I woke up at night, and at WBTB.

DR: 3am Lots of people, bunch of thoughts, activities about Lding

WBTB 6am-7:50am

LD - woke up from LD at 9:40am

I was trying to WILD, but fell asleep before anything happened. I had quite a long dream before I somehow realized I’m dreaming. So this would be a DILD. But I didn’t look at my hands. I did finger/palm RC and it was the weirdest one so far.
My thumb went in just half way into my palm before I stopped pushing, because it was so real. Not like a playdough in previous RCs. When I pulled my thumb out, there was a big wound that started to close up, I could swear, there was blood. Quite uncomfortable.

But I also remember trying to roll out and levitate out at the same time and I remember hovering above my bed and not knowing how to stand up. That would be WILD/OBE.

LD- I’m in a big, one story house. Lots of rooms, lots of people. It’s some kind of a trip. My mom is visiting, rest of the family has left. I tell her, we should go and do something, since she is the only one left visiting.

There was a bunch of kids and cats. Someone put some chicken soup in the yard for their cats, so all the cats from neighborhood were hanging around the yard and inside the house. One kid got eye infection and we were like oh, great, not everybody will get it.

I somehow realized I’m dreaming. I’m floating around in a house, propelling myself by touching furniture. Suddenly my left had gets stuck to the cabinet. I look, and the cabinet handle was just fixed with some strong glue. I have to pull my hand hard to get it free, it feels like skin from my thumb will peel off.

I get to the room I was before and think about what to do, when I remember I wanted to look at my cats in OOB. I see both of them and they look normal. I squat down and call them. My boy starts hissing and backs away, but a kitten that I don’t know goes after my hand and wants to play.

Then I’m outside. It’s night. I remember I wanted to go to the moon. But I also remember, that I have changed my mind and wanted to stay close and explore the city. I look up and there is the moon, tiny, behind a mist and is rapidly getting smaller until it disappears.

I start flying around, bouncing of bushes and trees. Everything feels real, branches hitting me in face, and I can smell jasmine and see it’s small white flowers everywhere. Try to fly up but not much luck.

There are 3 tree trunks, like a birch, but completely white. I try to fly to the top, propelling myself with my hands, but it’s not easy. I wake up.

My family and I were getting ready for the upcoming wedding of a family member (note: this wedding is upcoming IRL). My sister and I were trying to get dressed and pack our purses. I was in a state of stress because nothing was going well. I couldn't find my cell phone, my hair was unruly. For some reason, I was desperately scooping up potato chips and dip on the floor into a bag, as they were some kind of joke my sister had set up. I eventually found my phone, but it was low on power - how could I navigate to the venue without GPS in my car? Fortunately, a shared shuttle that looked like a cable car and contained some of my relatives stopped by, and we boarded.

Later in (I think) the same dream, I was in my grandparents' house in a room with many beds. This is the same house my cousins and I would stay in when we were little. As an adult in the dream, I was much too large for my "bed," which was little more than a doll's wooden rocking crib. I woke up (from one dream) in this bed, and realized I'd split it in two. My cousin's weren't impressed.

I stood up from the bed and realized I was dreaming. I hadn't performed a reality check of any sort. It just occurred to me that this wasn't reality. Once I realized it was a dream, the world spun and I did circles in place to stay asleep. It worked, and I continued with a few reality checks. First, I looked at my wedding band. It was there, and the metal wasn't shifting (my typical reality check), but I realized it was thinner in the dream than IRL. I wondered if it was actually a poor reality check after all and noted that I should think about it once awake.

Next, I decided to fly, since I'd been having trouble doing so. I used the advice in the forums and simply assumed I could take to the air. And I did - for a moment, but then had trouble and started merely hovering. Boo.

Some kind of demon or monster came up at this point and grabbed me. I told it to get lost, since this was a *lucid* dream, and if I couldn't even keep monsters at bay then I utterly sucked at lucid dreaming. The monster wasn't particularly scary, but he grabbed me and I was in a pool of water, so it was difficult to spin in place to keep the dream going. I managed to free myself and spin.

I started thinking about the artistic possibility of this lucid dream, and my thoughts became temporarily lost in books I'd read, like the Wheel of Time series. I was in a long building with a high ceiling, and suddenly looked up. A beautiful, animated lightshow was happening on the ceiling. The entire surface seemed pixelated - made of blueish metal squares. But in clumps and shapes, rainbow-colored groups of pixels were bulging and sliding like a bioluminescent mushroom, sending waves of color through the whole ceiling. I watched the show for a moment, wondering how "surprises" and new images are conjured up in a dream that I'm aware of.

After I'd looked long enough at the ceiling, I decided to try and improve my dream control. I decided to create the simplest of environments - a blue sky and black ground - to practice flying in. This environment started to come into view, but I struggled to sustain it, and eventually "woke up" into (I believe) another dream, in which I didn't realize was lucid and didn't remember.

I have the single most lucid dream of my last 5 years,

I all starts i am seated in a foyer of a small cinema waiting for something but i didnt know what, i turn to my left and one of my work mates is sitting there but says nothing then out of the cinema itself walks another of my work mates but his father is with him, his father offers me a cigarette from a pouch but when i reach into the pouch its full of cannabis, next thing i know im walking into the cinema and i notice that the back two rows of seats are separated from the front by a red old-fashioned carpeted slope that is pretty steep.

At the edge of the back row nearest to me are two twenty something women in wheeled office chairs in my way, when i move toward them they part and let me through as i proceed down the slope i know at this point i am looking for someone but i dont know who or why, then i see her she is a blonde woman with blue eyes who turns and sees me the smile she greets me with stops me in my tracks cold, i felt a great warmth in my midriff and a tingling like just before you start on the first drop on a rollercoaster, its mesmerizing, it made me feel so happy to see her that i smile too, and we stand there like this for a short while, then i turn and try to climb up the slope but notice my feet have no purchase on the carpet.

It turns out i am wearing white socks and it is tough trying to get up the slope so i dig in with my fingers trying to haul my weight up this bloody slope all the while i still feel that inner warmth from her, who is she, is she some cliche from the depths of my imagination or was that stirring i felt so strongly for her real in some way, she was named gwen (not stefani (cliche)) as i am typing this i can still feel that gut sensation and its strong indeed, i dont know who she is but somewhere deep within my mind there is an atavistic knowledge that she is known powerfully by my being but how.

This is kinda weird if anyone cares to share similar themes of their unconscious weirdness

Took an evening nap - new HH - 1 tiny heart and 1 happy face

Friday Jan.6/2012 bed 11:55pm

Set up another experiment - put a small piece of paper with one letter and a colored pen on top of my kitchen cabinet to try to see it in OBE.

GM at 5am
woke up from OBE at 6:35am

OBE#6
I’m in my bed trying to OBE/WILD. I suddenly realize, I see my room from the correct vantage point, as I’m laying on my left side. It’s darker than in WL (I have some nightlights IWL). All I see is left side of the bed. Right next to me is my cat. I see her as energy in shape of sleeping, balled-up cat. I immediately start rolling out. It takes me a few tries, I’m amazed, she is like a little speed bump. I’m not worried about hurting her, because I know, IWL she is closer to my feet.

So I roll out and fall to the ground. I start crawling on all four towards the kitchen. IWL, its about 8 feet from my bed. As I’m crawling in total dark, I realize, I could feel my way. As I raise my right arm, I bump into a piece of furniture. I grab the round, smooth, cool leg of a desk/chair. Right behind it is a cabinet. I don’t know how, but next thing I’m looking at the top of the kitchen cabinet. It’s much brighter now and I can see a piece of paper identical to the one I put up there IWL and I clearly see capital letter T. Next to it is a small packet of handy-wipe and text on it is in orange cursive. I take it as a color of a pen I left up there. Other than this, there is a bunch of letters and postcards, addressed to me. I can clearly read my full name written in cursive, not in my handwriting. There is also a book. I really wish I could read that all, but I wake up.

After I wake up, I check , if I got the letter and color right. Nope, the paper I left up there has a big square on it and the pen is green.

I was disappointed, especially, because I don’t own any table or chair, that could account for the leg I grabbed in OBE, and I really wanted to go OOB in physical realm - identical or near identical to waking life. It took me almost 2 days to realize, that I actually do, and It’s exactly where I felt it.

I played back in my mind, how I rolled out and crawled and as I’m following my path, I see a small foot-rest, that has 4 6-inch legs and they look exactly as what it felt in my OBE.

WBTB 7am-817am

Regular Dream:
I’m in Mexico. Some nice resort. We go to the pool. Beautiful clear blue water. I dive in, feels good. Next time we come, the pool is closed. Someone with flu contaminated it. Bunch of people disappointed.

We decide to go to the beach, but we see dark clouds gathering in the distance. Wind is starting and I see something like a tornado. I take pictures. People are trying to take shelter in the yard of the hotel. I’m in the yard, next to the door. Someone is banging it, trying to get in. The white door is locked and padlocked. I open it anyway and in walk two children. More people come in. Also one female officer. We start to joke, saying wow, this is not a dream, unlike other, that were dreams. I agree with her, this is not a dream.

Then a big UFO appears in the sky. We are all looking up. I'm taking lots of pictures. The UFO separates into different shapes, it’s trying to tell us something. Suddenly, a pile of broken-up weapons appear on the ground. I have a feeling, they tell us to “take out the trash”, as in weapons are trash of the mankind and we should get rid of them.

Lots of dreams, didn’t write them down

Right, I had a fragment last night, a full dream and a lucid. I could have remembered more on the fragment, but it was a false awakening. And it went undetected until the morning when I was shocked to see my DJ empty. D:

The fragment was me, at nursery with other people my age. Just to let you know, I'm not in nursery any more

The most I could remember of any fragment was this... I was in a shop, and I recalled being in the shop many times before. In reality, I have never been. I remember remembering the Christmas decorations being up all year round, except in December. I looked at some hats, and there were the funkiest hats ever... The hat was a dress, and at the top, instead of a bobble was a small body and a head. At the bottom, attached to the head were feet... The feet were round, and they snapped open. If you put your hair inside, you would have pigtails and a doll sitting on top of your head. This has been copyrighted by me in my dreams. I have dates and blogs on my side if you try to steal the idea. :3 Well anyway, I wanted them, but I thought it was too expensive, and it was too small for me. D:

Anyway, onto the lucid. I was at my dad's house, waiting for my dad to come and pick me up. Everywhere, there was grass, and it even grew on the roads. There were rainbows in the air and everybody was happy. The houses were just hills. My dad came, not in his normal taxi but in a handsome carriage (Google if you like)! I got in, and became lucid. I couldn't get out because he was going so fast, so I decided it was impossible for me to teleport. I decided I wanted to fly, and I saw a hill in front of us. I asked dad how fast we could go, and he shouted back, 'Let's find out!' He made the horses go really fast and everything was almost a blur, and I felt myself flying. I thought I was flying, but then we landed at the top of the hill. This hill was different, behind it there was a cobbled ground and lots of people begging for money. I reached into my bag to find that it was full of chocolate coins, so I threw them to the people and they all started singing. Not too long later, I woke up!

Happy Dreaming

I'm at some building in Moscow. My dad and I are in a broken apartment where there seems to be a robbery of some sort goin on. Two guards are in a jail cell with some people. When my dad arrives we spend a long time in the apartment. I ask him why this is happening here and he says to go with him he will show me. We walk outside and around the building. There is a desperate elevator there and an elevator men. We get in. There are four or five buttons on the pad i remember we needed 29th floor and there was also 200 or 300th floor which I felt scared to go up. All the commotion in the apartment was the process of building this elevator for it do we have a private entrance. I ask the elevator man "is this brand new"
"yes brand new elevator"
This makes me uncomfortable again. It
Moves sideways manly wrong inside the building then starts going up. It's motions are irregular so I start to feel uneasy again. We seem to jitter around the 29th floor and can't get out. Father is pressed against me and I feel Wierd so I do a rc. The elevator seems to realize I'm dreaming to it starts to go up super fast. I can barely move I think about what to do, fly up? It goes faster as if out the building. Close my eyes and spin. I wake up in the car outside this building (still dreaming) g is there his in the back. He comes sits in the front and eats a shuarma that he didn't finish from before. Someone calls and he runs out and starts bringing bean bag bags from another car...mumbling something about Keeni. I fall asleep in the car again.
I'm at reception at David intercontinental. Father is talking to a ping Russian girl that works there. He asks her to do something and she says he can't because she wants to gp home. He takes her place behind reception and I think he says "fine go sleep with me" she heads toward the elevator and he tells me to escort her so I start to follow. A doctor comes up and starts talking to me as we walk together. His go his arm around my shoulder. She goes into the elevator on the far and the doors begin to close but the doc catches it open. We squeeze in. I'm in the middle. The elevator begins to go up and I start to feel like its acting Wierd again. I do a rcI think why does this keep happening. I again am squeezed by all these people in an elevator I can't control. How do I make this work? I raise my arms in the air "not to worry everyone this is my dream I can fix this!!!" I say this with so much enthusiasm and seem to enjoy my voice. I begin trying to slow the elevator and it doesn't work. I try to feel the elevator slowing with my mind and it seems to work but takes
A lot of concentration. Finally i stop it but there is I door. I imagine a door and one appears behind us. People start to come out and as I do I think about what should be outside it but it's a little to late by the time I come out and it's just a hotel floor but disfigured. There are all these confusing hallways and people with giant vacuum hoses that keep making them wiggle in the air. I think it's ok next room will I'll try to pre determine. We come up I a room and I turn to a figure "what should be inside this room?" I ask thinking that I'm really asking myself. "how about a passion" she answers with a smile.
"the staff" I say it and I feel excitement. I try to imagine a staff in the room and I walk in.
The room is big, like a small zal. Inside on the opposite side is a giant window and from it there is a giant staff. To big to spin its bigger then any staff I've seen and it the other half of it is outside the window probably on a room of some other building. I ice it up with extreme easy an put it down again since there is no way to get it fully in here. I notice another smaller staff. Like my floweryBut no colors inside. I pick it up and spin a bit. After a few moments the excitement that I'm dreaming comes up again and I drop the staff and startin search of new adventure. I walk out to the hallway. There is a couch and on it is a iPhone..i pick it up and look. There are mags there from Dina. This is my phone? Can't be, mine is in my pocket is it her phone? Not sure. Anyway I continue further down the hall and run into the 3 figures from the elevator. I sit on a couch and they sit on one as well. "where's the white girl" I ask. They don't know and begin taking their shirts off. They're all disfigured so I get up and walk away.
I stand in the hallway and wonder how to get out of here. I get an idea to look at a picture onmy phone and try to fly my body inside it. Using my pone fades the dream out.

Last night I had a dream and I was pretty lucid during the Hunger Games part but i'm not going to describe all of that in the entry. I only remember fragments of the rest. I had this glove, that could shoot fire out of it and it was my weapon. I got a horse and I was riding on it to get to my grandfather who had advice about an upcoming battle and how to utilize my "weapon". My horse fell off several ledges and died on the way, and every time it did i would respawn on it, kind of like a video game. Finally I got to a shack and I went inside. I sat down at a booth opposite my grandfather. My dad was right next to me but I have no idea how he got there. My grandfather took the glove and looked at it in awe, telling me that he remembers the old days when he had last seen one of these. He gave me advice, I don't remember exactly what he said but I could shoot fire out of it now. I don't remember how I got there but I was now in the Hunger Games, with my glove. The games went by very quickly, and I won, along with Katniss and Prim. Afterwards I rode in my car to my cousins house, and I ran into the house and embraced this random guy, who I suppose was my uncle in the dream? I cried and was so happy that I survived and hugged him. I then hugged Samantha and Melanie (cousins) but melanie seemed tired and uninterested. They were both eating slushies. I'm talking about the games and all i remember was my "uncle" saying something about three people winning was one of "effie's tricks".

I do find the added stress of an impending work day keeps me from being quite so able to recall my dreams or even make myself dedicated enough to wake-up and journal what I do recall.

I went to bed at about 4:30AM

10:30AM
There was one dream in particular I remember. I was at My dad and sisters house and I seemed to be living at home again. Nina from The fringe seemed to be there using our upstairs bathroom (LOL) the door to the crawl space kept opening as I tried to sleep. My dad came upstairs and made some humorous comment about it I think, the fact it kept opening kept making it colder in the room...

Another dream my dad, sister and I happened to be in Lockport and somehow my dad and I started talking about some business development organization, he ended up going there, (I was using some electronic device while he drove) phone maybe. We got to this place and it happened to be the same place as where the entrance for the Lockport Caves were however they were closed for the Fall a signed said, it was mostly a disappointing for my dad and sister I think, I believe I was more interested in the business development place which we never went to...


Got about 6 hours of sleep

As I've just started a Dream Journal, I want to log my older dreams/nightmares that have stuck with me for years. Some I can remember full blast, others just fragments. I thought I'd log my old dreams in one post before I start logging my new dreams so I can start looking for patterns and dream signs.

_

I'm walking down a very wide forest path with who was my best friend at the time. The trees either side are very tall but look brown and withered. As we're walking down, there is a red light moving with us beyond the trees. Eventually we come to a small white building that looks like a factory. A tall lady in a long black coat comes out and offers us some red lipstick. My friend takes it and puts it on although I tell her not to, and she dies.

-

This dream was completely in black and white. In this dream I was quite young and in the middle of my grandparents, holding both their hands. We are walking down a path on a residential street, and it is very misty. There is a bus up ahead that we need to catch. We stop to cross the road, but my Grandparents go on ahead and leave me stood there. I can't move my legs to catch up with them, and they get on the bus and it drives away.

-

I'm sat in my living room with my grandparents at night. The sky is pitch black, and I see one single white firework in the sky. The TV comes on on its own, and it's the news. The presenter says that there is an urgent broadcast, and the screen fills with the face of a scruffy balding man with lots of stubble and dark eyes. He says that he is going to kill all the children. There was more to this perhaps including a death-threat letter and a helicopter but I don't remember that clearly.

-

Me and my Nan are walking to my Auntie's house. We get stuck on the side of the road and decide to take a shortcut. The shortcut is blocked by trees, and we ask someone the way and he points us back up the road. I remember waking up from this one and thinking that it had really happened.

-

I fought Voldemort. I remember being in an oddly shaped room with lots of dark dementor-like manequins. I think I won.

-

I was at a party, and a lot of my friends were there. My boyfriend was dancing and didn't seem to notice me. One of my friends comes up to me and says we need to be at a different event. We run together through this building, until we come to a place with very high ceilings and the walls look like they're made of stone. We're allowed in once our names our checked off and we sit either side of an older lady who gives us menus. We have to say what we want then go and serve ourselves, which I thought was strange because it was such a posh place. I asked for the soup and was told there wasn't any, but I went up to the table to try anyway. The table had some machines and some warm silver trays used to keep food warm, with beans and random things in them. I grab a cup and put it under the tap in one of the machines, and pull the lever expecting soup, but it's just hot water. I pour it away. I 'woke up' from this one with a false awakening.

-

I have a recurring dream that I can't quite remember at the moment because I haven't had it for some time, but when it happens I'm about half aware that I'm dreaming. It's like I'm in a complex, almost a shopping centre or building, and something always happens there that scares me in some way.

-

I'm at school and I think I've just come out of class. I'm walking down the empty corridor and there is a boy stood a little further down. (My school was an all girls school though). In my dream, I know this boy is my boyfriend. I smile and start to walk up to him, but a man with a gun runs in and shoots him. I scream and hide behind the lockers and the man runs away. I run up to my 'boyfriend' and hold onto him as he dies. I wake up crying.

-

When I was quite young I used to have a recurring dream that I was flying down the stairs. Items would be flying down with me sometimes. I could also make myself fly short distances, which was usually across my living room. The height would vary and I'd have to try quite hard to keep the height and distance going. As I was quite young and this was lucid, I would think that I'd actually done it.

In the same vein but in a seperate dream, I was in a sort of formula 1 type car, driving up a huge square, 3D kind of ramp, and came out at the top, flying in my car over my junior school hall, waving at my classmates below.

-

I texted a friend asking her if she wanted to do something that day, and she replied very shortly and seemed annoyed at me. When I actually talked to her that day, she told me she'd had a dream the same night that we'd fallen out.

-

I had a really great dream one night that I was in this sort of alternate cartoon type place. Basically, there was a massive sort of termite nest, I could see a big circle of light at the top and the inside walls were the sandy colour of earth. Inside, were lots of different shaped sort of houses or nests, some were completely round with holes in the middle, others had chimneys and they were all different brilliant colours. They were all connected by a web-like rope to get between them all. I made friends with a giant, friendly cartoonish female spider that lived there and she showed me around.

-

One I vaguely remember is having to save either dolphins or seals or something. I don't remember a lot of it, but the part I remember clearly is standing under the wing of a plane with an older lady in a wheelchair and a younger lady who was part of this save-sea-creatures thing.

-

Running away from a man down a path on a street near where I live, but not being able to move fast enough. The man never caught up with me although I could hardly move my arms or legs. I think I had some kind of awareness in this dream as I remember the fear and the strength I was trying to use to move.

Previous dream involved a conversation where my sister was trying to convince me that my two nieces were exactly alike. Something else about my pops and money.

I laid there and had some HI about watching some fat guy dancing and then SP kicked in. It felt like I was being pulled through my bed. I could even hear my mattress springs squeak.

I arrived in my driveway laying on my stomach. My face was flat against the ground and it made me question weather or not that was my sleeping position.

I stood up and saw this red haired guy I instinctively called "life" and started asking him questions. I knew I wanted to share a dream but I couldn't even think of the name when I asked him about it.

Life replied "oh that little short girl." I nodded and he said I didn't want to have anything to do with her. I found it odd that if this guy was so wise why couldn't he think of Koamea's name either.

"Well is there anything I could help you with" I asked. He told me he was fine excep for one person that was in my house. I naturally thought that I was going to have to kill someone and he agreed. Then I started thinking maybe it isnt the best idea to kill someone I didn't really know about.

I was lucid but I lacked a lot of reasoning I this dream. I decided to head to my back yard and see if I could find anyone randomly who I was supposed to see. I looked down the road, and saw my old school bus heading towards my house. I hope this isn't going on in RL. This crap is going to wake me up. I watched the bus do some awkward u-turn and head the other way. I thought about going after it but I woke up.

From School to Oblivion
I am in school at Pima Community College, this is my first day back to class. I look around at the other students and find a sear where I wait for the instructor. The teacher comes in pretty soon, and I see he has a cart full of goodies with him! Lots of sweets. Cupcakes, cookies, donuts… there goes my diet! I decide to eat a limited amount of the treats. I pick a chocolate cupcake and start eating it. It is delicious. There doesn't seem to be an actual class, and I wonder if tuition is all going to pay for sweets… weird… I decide I had better leave before I pig out. I go to the door and open it, there is someone else about to come in. A large tentacle or vine or something erupts through his chest as he is standing there. He has the most puzzled look on his face… wtf?! I go around the dying man and see there is an Oblivion gate in the parking lot. There are scamps wandering around the gate and a huge vine like thing coming out of the gate, that is what killed the man. I find I have a sword… it formed from Witchblade. I cut the vine thing off and jump through the Oblivion gate, moving seamlessly from a non-lucid dream to believing I am in a virtual reality video game.

I am in Oblivion now, and I look around to see what needs to be done. There is a massive gate closed between me and the main tower. I guess they expect me to walk around the long way to get there. I have the idea I don't have that much time. I go over to the gate and look at it closely. There are various places on the gate that make it look like I should be able to climb it. I wonder if this version of the game will allow that… so I start climbing. I get to the top with surprisingly little effort. I look down on the other side of the gate. My body feels lighter than normal… instead of taking this as a trigger to do a RC I decide it is because of the game. I fly down on the other side of the gate, immediately engaging two daedra in battle and killing them. I go into the main tower and look around, killing three scamps and a daedra I find there. There is a beam of fire shooting up the center of the tower. I don't have time to go the long way… I fly up the beam to the top. I am being fired at by scamps on the path around the outer edge of the tower. They can't hit the target. I get to the top and look at the sigil stone only briefly before grabbing hold of it… and waking up.

After 13 days from trying to lucid dream/ the start of my dream journal I had my first lucid. Was on the 13th December 2011.

Me and my brother (he is my twin but doesn't look like me) are driving back from town. He is driving mums car which he normally wouldn't be doing because he only has his learners and mum wasn't there. For some reason I ask to be let out so I can walk. I walk for a while and somehow my brother is behind me even though he dropped me off and carried on driving. But he drives past so I wave at him to stop for a ride. I see someone else in the front passenger seat who I think is my brothers friend called Liam. When I get back in I realize it is a dream because he shouldn't be driving and how did liam get there? I almost lose the dream and was going to try to fly, but I think I spin around while sitting in the back seat somehow and then im back in the back seat of the car. (Im very excited and can feel my heart pumping fast) I say to my brother "you know this is a dream right?" the whole time im smiling because IM DREAMING and it feels so weird. He turns around and says " no it's not". This confirms to me it is a dream because he's not even looking where he's driving and also I've heard dream characters deny that its a dream when you tell them. I also tell liam but he also refuses. We stop outside our house but then start driving. There were some magicians on the side of the road ,one was holding a top hat looking like he was gonna pull a bunny out. I see our cat in several places, first on our property then down the road as we're driving. I want to test my control on the dream so I say to my brother that I want to drive. He says no so I "think myself" into the drivers seat and it works. Liam and my brother somehow both are in the backseat now. I go down the big hill after the dairy and up the other side. Someone yells "Lets Go!" and I wake up.

Poor recall continues, but at least I've managed to recall something every single night this year so far. But we have plenty of dreams to look into in the meanwhile from the past three years, so I'll continue with those. This one's very basic though.

Just a General Lucid
Date: May 23rd, 2009
Lucid: Yes
Method: DILD

I attained lucidity after WBTB by making a reality check after noticing something was off.

I was outside and it was winter. My brother was laying in the snow and I threatened to give him a snow bath. I didn't do it though. I looked inside through a big window in our house. There were some weird duded. They made the peace gesture with their fingers. I answered back with my hand, then turned it into \,,/ and then reversed the peace gesture into something less cordial.

The dream was fading though. I tried to spin to restabilize it, but it didn't work. Then I tried throwing myself into the ground back first. Boom! That worked and the dream got clear again. Crystal clear, should I say.

It was still dark and wintery. I went inside the house and it seemed like there was somekind of party or celebration going on. I presumed it was Christmas, but didn't delve into it any further, as I remember the challenge - as in the monthly lucid dreaming challenge in my own forum. It was to get my hands to one of my friends, Niko and ask him something.

I relied on the passive control to make him appear. I started shouting "Niko are you there?" to the toilet. "Yeah, I'm here", my brother answered sarcastically. Somehow he had managed already to get in.
"Have you seen Niko?" I asked, but I was given no answer. I kept going and trusted that he is bound to appear if I keep up.

Finally I found Niko near our shower. He seemed unnaturally happy. I went right into it.
"As you remember Niko, there's the challenge in our forum. So could you tell me some kind of advice for life or something."

I don't remember the exact answer, but the message was, that "if you do something, do it right."
"YOU BETTER CRAM IT SO YOU DON'T FORGET IT", Niko advised then, shouting manically. I went it through once in my head before moving on.

Now that the challenge was out of the way I decided to find out what day it was in the dream. I went to kitchen and asked my mom. She seemed tense, but finally answered to me: 5th of June 2010. What? It is summer? Then why is it so dark and why is there winter outside?

There was no signs of dream fading, but I wasn't used to dreams lasting so long. So I decided to stabilize it further just in case. I touched all kinds of surfaces and then found some bottle on the floor. I picked it up and took a sip. Eww, it tasted bad!

Finally I realized that just wandering around in the home isn't exactly what I want to do in a lucid dream. I can do it enough in the waking life as it is.

I went outside, started running and then just leaped off the ground. It was awesome. Gravity was in effect, but I could do long and high jumps, much higher than the treetops.

But by the time I dropped I had exited my body and I was losing my lucidity as well. No I was instead playing some game where the character flies with a hang glider. Soon he hit the ground and was surrounded by enemies. He was filled with arrows.

I then woke up from my game death in front of some kind of firing squad. I told the guy next to me that I'm not going out without a fight. I moved my hand to my sword. What, I had a sword now?

It turned out to be duel to the death. I was up against some kind of... maintenance guy. What the hell is up with these dudes? He seemed kind of tough, but I just told him to go fix a lamppost. The fight never commenced - I woke up before that

I was lucid... I think, and I did something, but I can't remember. I'm pretty sure I woke up from excitement.

I was laying in bed using Ev's Singularity App when I began to WILD without even trying.
My mind was already asleep.

I got up from my bed and Sean and Reina were there, I think they were talking about Daily Grace.
To stabilize the dream I started spinning really fast and rubbing my hands together. I almost fell over at one point, and was beginning to black out, so I decided I should go slower and be more careful.
I looked at my closet doors and I told myself "when I walk through those doors, I'm going to be in Barack Obama's bedroom. I opened the door and sure enough, Michelle Obama was laying in her bed in her pjs giving me the weirdest look. I walked down their stairs which turned into Y-po and Y-gong's house.
I remembered telling Stephanie that if I lucid dreamt, I would dream of flying on Totoro's stomach like Satsuki and Mei. I told myself that when I opened the front door, Totoro would be standing there with his top, waiting for me. I opened the front door and I see Totoro just hovering in my grandparent's fountain. I run up to him and for some reason there was a big pile of dog poo on the edge of the fountain. I jump on his stomach and we begin to fly away. We passed the neighbors' kids and I heard one of them say, "It's Totoro!". We flew higher and higher and I told myself once we landed somewhere I would be like Harry Potter and cast spells and fly around on a broom. Totoro's fur was super soft and kind of carpet-y. I closed my eyes for a second while feeling it and realized what a stupid idea that was.

I woke up staring at my wall..
