lucid

Old LD from 5-23-07

Yes--I had a Lucid Dream!!


It started in my neighbor's backyard. I was talking to my friend N who supposedly lived there. We were discussing the problems we had with our yards. As we stood there in her yard, I could see right through the chain link fence to see my whole yard. Both of our yards were very large. They were all sandy dirt and had junk laying around.

I commented on how messy our yards looked. I said, "Look at how my yard slopes. It's hard to have a yard look neat when it isn't level. You're lucky yours is level."

But as I looked at her yard, it was only level where we were standing, all the rest was uneven with ditches and hills.

Then I looked at the green plants growing. I pointed it out to N. I said, "You see all that green stuff that looks like grass? Well, it's not. Those are baby tumble weeds. They are going to grow up to be huge and ugly, and when you try to pull them up, you'll get all scratched up with their stickers.

She then said she wasn't sure what plants I was talking about.

I said, "You can see them better if you fly over them." And at that point I started to hover in a horizontal position a few few off the ground and started flying over the little tumble weeds. "See..?" I said.

She looked at me and smiled and said, "C----, you just like to show off."

BLAM!

I was dreaming. Of course, because I was flying. Funny that I had a bit of a delayed reaction in figuring that out.

The first thing that comes to my mind is to complete the Advanced Task. I needed to find a tree.

I looked over into my yard and saw two poplar trees. Unfortunately they looked dead. I didn't think I could make a dead tree walk around. So I kept looking. In the far end of the yard I saw another poplar.

I stared at it really intensely and willed it to pull up its roots. I could see it start to come up. I could see its roots emerge from the dirt. I then willed it to walk. It started forward.

As I watched it move, I realized that something wasn't quite right. I looked closer at the tree's roots. Under the roots I could see little wheels. The tree wasn't really using its roots to walk, but intead used little wheels that it hid under it's roots.

I thought to myself, "Will I get credit for this? Maybe I should try again."

So I looked over at another poplar tree. I stared at it until it too came up out of the ground. But this tree, instead of trying to fool me with its roots, just had wheels....and it wheeled itself away.

I started feeling like I had to hurry. I started pulling up tree after tree at this point only to find that all my trees had wheels and no roots at all.

To make matters worse, all the background in the dream suddenly went out on me. Everything but myself and about 8 wheeled trees was a flat light blue. I felt like we were in a computer--like the Matrix-- and someone had messed with the background color.

Then it messed up again. I was now trapped in a dark blue room. I had to get out. I ran at the wall with the intent of slipping right through. But I hit the wall.

After several times of being unsuccessful, I decided to try something different. I thought if I closed my eyes, then I wouldn't be fooled by a wall that wasn't even physical to begin with.

So with my eyes closed I ran at the wall. I ran further than I thought I needed to go and started to feel like I had made it, then blam. I hit it with the top of my head.

I tried two more times with my eyes closed.

But after no success. I decided to just do flips--like I often do in LDs.

As I did the flips I felt so good. I remember thinking, "This feels so good, why am I bothering to do anything else at all in my LDs. I should just do flips the whole time."

So I stayed in the room completely content for the next few minutes just enjoying the sensation of dream flips.

Until I finally woke up.

Estava de pé numa estrada de terra ao lado da casa de uma tia observando o cenário até que meu personagem resolve começar a voar, nesse momento percebo que era tudo um sonho e mesmo sem fazer nenhum reality check começo a controlar o meu personagem durante o voo pela cidade observando outros personagens no caminho. Ia subindo cada vez mais até que cheguei numa rodovia e nesse momento comecei a tentar modificar o cenário para um de minha escolha, mas aparentemente eu acabei concentrando muito nisso e por fim despertei.

DreamLucidAwake

I had a dream character appear as a buddy in all my dreams. I don't think he ever said his name, but I named him Chris and he responded to it.

Nightmare Tunnel

I was running through some place we called a "nightmare tunnel" with a dream buddy. The walls of the tunnel were odd swirling shades of yellow. We were running along a bridge/platform from zombies. A trap door then opened in our path and I fell in. I was in a dark room now and I walked down the hall towards the light.

Now I was in an arena like room with high walls that prevented me from getting back to Chris. Suddenly vents opened and thousands of spiders poured out of them. As they surrounded me I suddenly realized that if it was a "nightmare tunnel" then that means I'm in a dream. I slowed down time and did a high jump before they could start crawling on me. While I was in the air a few of them tried jumping at me from the walls. I teleported out of the way to a wall with out spiders and then leaped over the arena to get out.

I found myself alongside Chris again and now running from zombies, ghosts, swordsmen, and spiders. The bridge suddenly ended and below was just a bottomless pit. Chris turned around to face the monsters and prepared to fight them. I decided to take the easy way out and push him off the bridge. I then jumped down into the pit myself.

I saw a bright flash of light and I found myself laying in a field. I got up off the ground and found Chris. I explained to him that it was a dream and we could do anything. So we both got the idea to play around with the low gravity. We did a few jumps and flips before quickly becoming bored with that.

"There's nothing to do in this field." Chris said.
"Sure there is!" I said as I summoned a slinky.
"What are you going to do with that?" He asked.
"You'll see."

I placed it between my hands and then magically expanded it to the size of a house. We then jumped on top of the slinky and I made it fly high in the air. I then added some spins and spirals to the flight to make it fun. Once we got past the clouds I decided to let the slinky fall and jump off. I was now happily free falling through the sky. I completely forgot about the landing part though and I hit the ground hard. I immediately got right back up full of energy.

"Ouch, that hurt a little." I said with my hand over my side.
"You just fell 1000 feet and you're okay with that?" Chris asked me surprised.
"Ha ha, if this was real life that would be a broken rib." I said laughing.

Sadly the dream started to fade away at this point. More things may have happened, but I can't remember.

A Grim Future

I was inside an old rundown building. It was abandoned and looked like no one had lived there in years. Chris from the last dream was by my side again and was exploring with me. As we moved around the house I started to notice that it looked a lot like my home. We were on the second floor but didn't find anything interesting. I fallowed Chris down the stairs and into one of the larger rooms. I recognized it as my living room and realized that it was my home. I then shined my flash light near the couch. In the light I saw the two dead bodies of my parents.

"What the hell is happening here?" I thought out loud.
"You time traveled, remember?" Chris answered.
"How far did I go?" I asked him.
"About a few years I think." He said.

Through out the house I found more dead bodies of family members. I also found several animal bodies of pets I've had through my life. I woke up shortly after.

The Honor Code

I was in the living room of a very nice house. That's all I can really it say, it was fancified. I found Chris sleeping on the floor.

"Chris, get off the floor." I said.
"I was sleeping" He said annoyed.
"Look outside." I said while pointing to the window.

We walked to the window and looked outside. The ground was covered in a thick layer of snow and there were gray clouds covering the sky. We looked to see a caravan sinking into a pond and a many people drowning. Medieval soldiers soon arrived and worked hard to get them out of the water.

"Shouldn't we go help them?" I asked.
"Not unless we're in the army." He said.
"Seriously? We can't help people unless we're soldiers?" I asked in disappointment.
"I heard they're offering a 3 day trial period. That should be long enough for us." He said.
"Well then let's go!" I said excitedly.

I turned away from the window and saw a man of about my age in the living room. Looking at his clothes I could tell he was associated with the military but only a squire. He was messing with a few statues and antiques in the room.

"Can I help you?" I asked him.

I startled him and he dropped the small vase he was holding. We both looked at it as it fell to the ground and shattered. He looked up and smiled sheepishly.

"It's not mine but you're paying for it." I told the squire.
"I was sent to help you find the barracks." He said.
"Okay..." I said expecting him to explain more.
"We must go there for you to sign the honor code." Chris explained.
"Lead the way." I said.

We walked outside into the snowy weather and the squire pulled out a map. I tried reading it, but I couldn't make sense out of it. He pointed down the road leading to the village and we followed him. Unfortunately the dream kind of skipped straight past the village and into the barracks.

The squire pulled a golden tablet out from a desk drawer. He motioned me forward and handed me a quill. He started rambling a bunch of nonsense that I kind of ignored until he mentioned magic.

"This golden tablet is the honor code. It is magical device that will decide if you're with or with out honor. Just sign right here." He instructed me.

I took the quill and signed the tablet, but it was more like random scribbles. I then stepped aside so Chris could sign. Neither of us blew up or anything so I figured we passed. The squire then scribbled something on a scroll and said we passed.

The next thing I know I'm at a fair with rides and stuff in chainmail armor. I knew my job was to watch for crime and keep peace at the event. Despite this, I walked up and down the street trying to find Chris.

"Chris! Where are you?!" I shouted into the crowd of people.
"Right here." He said as he walked up to me.
"Where the hell did you go?" I asked.
"Rollercoaster." He replied.
"I see you also got cotton candy..." I said staring at the bag of pink fluff strapped to his side.
"Want some?" He asked.
"Yup!" I said happily.

So we spent the rest of the dream just sitting on a bench and eating cotton candy. As with all cotton candy, it was tasty.

Pointjackers

It was a bright sunny day and I was riding a rubber raft in the ocean. My sister and a weasel were also in the raft with me. I saw Chris in the water working hard to push the raft.

"Why did we bring a weasel?" I asked Chris.
"New dream law." He said.
"And it's a law because...?" I asked confused.
"There's been a lot of dragon sightings around here lately. Everyone is now ordered to have a weasel at sea. It will protect us from the dragon." He explained to me.

I then saw a large white dragon leap out of the water nearby. It wasn't aggressive and it swam away. I noticed that me and my sister were wearing colorful electronic knee and elbow pads. I read the screen on my elbow pad (impossible in real life) and it showed 1000 points. I figured this referred to power points and could be used for defensive abilities and magical attacks. I placed my elbow on my sister's knee and gave her half of my points to add to her defenses. Thanks to our training from the last dream, me and Chris knew much more about fighting dragons than her and I was worried that the dragon could still attack. It appeared a few times, but luckily we never got in a fight.

We started to approach an island with slides and swing sets. It looked exactly like the playground I usually visit in dreams except it was surrounded by water and sandy. We got off the raft and stepped onto the beach. Unfortunately Chris said he had more rafts to deliver. The whole island was essentially the playing field of a game. There were many children there wearing colored knee and elbow pads like us. I noticed many of my family members sitting on the beach, but I didn't bother to greet them. I kid then ran by me at a super speed and smacked my elbow with his elbow.

"Ha Ha!" he taunted.
"Fricking pointjacker!" I yelled at him.

He had taken 35 points or so from me. I couldn't ask my sister for any of my points back because I felt that would be dishonorable. I also knew she would need them more because these guys were hardcore. I wasn't interested in taking power points from other kids either as that was like stealing money to me. I just wanted to play around like I usually do on the playground.

I saw a wooden toy intended for climbing on past the swing sets. As I walked over there I stayed close to the swing sets where these gamers were too busy swinging. I got too close though and took a foot to the face and fell to the ground. I turned onto my back and saw a fat kid get off the swing in front of me. I stood up to face him eye to eye (sadly I was a foot shorter in this dream). It was the kid that accidentally kicked me in the face.

"You tryin' to steal my points?" He said in an attempt to intimidate me.
"No." I said firmly.
"I thinks you are." He said smugly.
"Just passing by." I said.

I had already started walking towards the wooden toy again before he could get out another word. I wasn't in the mood for dealing people like him. So I started climbing multiple platforms and layers inside the structure. I stopped when I heard footsteps coming from the ground below me. I snuck to a position where I could remain hidden and observe. I saw the same kid from before wandering around below trying to find me. I jumped down and tackled him to the ground. I held him down until I had absorbed all of his power points.

"Please go away now." I said irritated.
"Mommy!!!" He cried and ran off.
"Finally." I said to myself.

I walked over to my family sitting on the beach and just looked out into the ocean. The dream faded away after this.

End

Chris seems to be a much better dream character than most. He just makes things more fun. Unfortunately I didn't take his hints that I was dreaming. I hope to see him in more of my dreams.

I was at home about to sleep when my cousin Sharif and his family arrived unexpectedly. I got up and greeted Hana first and then went to greet Sharif. I then saw something bizarre; I found my younger cousin Suzanne(11yrs old) lying on the floor with a mullet crying. At this point I realized I was dreaming and everyone other then my self just disappeared. I then decided I wanted to run through a wall at full force. When I tried I found all the walls were elastic like a rubber band but I could pass through it like a bubble. So I grabbed the wall and pulled it as far back as I could and then allowed it to fling me through the wall. When I finally got on the other side I found a strange combination of ocean and space. I had the sensation of being underwater but the view of planets and stars. When I didn't think the dream could become stranger I saw a large spherical object in the distance with blue and white lights on its band. It was spinning and moving rapidly to my location, as it approached me my brother sleeping in the same room as me sneezed very loudly and "woke" me up ending the lucid dream.

This was my second lucid dream and it was awesome all until my brother ruined it.

I was in an elevator with a classmate at uni. I suddenly became lucid and my classmate turned into a really ugly girl. I realized this was NOT COOL so I took a second to compose myself and try and get the dream under control. I had a few seconds of heightened sense, I could see heaps of details and everything felt very textured. The girl turned back into my classmate again, only now he had tattoos all over his body, and so did I. Then I got bored, so I tried to spin myself back to my house. I started spinning and the dream went black. I could make out some shelves, way up high, but they faded and the dream ended.

I was at my old job, working in the wareshouse. I was driving the fork truck and carrying out my duties. Then a stack of pallets fell over, people were scrambling around and it just felt weird. I pinched my nose and breathed in and out, at first it didn't work, then it did, but only in 1 nostril which was weird. So anyway, I know it's a dream now and i'm lucid, although not 100% in control, I begin to climb up the racking and for some reason, the racking is not metal anymore, its made of those cotton buds you're not supposed to clean your ears with, huge cotton thingys. All the contents of the racking is food goods, lots of sweets and chocolates etc, it's amazing. I knock something off the racking, I am very high up at this point, I see DC's running to pick it up, I find this funny so I do it more and throw chocolate bars at them, i'm so childish lol. Anyway, I am able to climb more and more for some reason, there are other DC's up there too. I guess this is where I lose lucidity as the last thing I remember is DC's chasing me. I am alsmost sure there was more to this dream however I just wanted it typed before I forget completely.

Thanks for reading

Alright, so I was at the supermarket, shopping I assume, and saw an old teacher of mine. I went up to him and shook his hand - then I became lucid. The scene changed to my bedroom where I was on my bed observing the bizarre situation of myself frozen on the bed with another me in work clothes. Don't make me try to explain that any better. Then I closed my eyes and felt waves and waves of vibrations. I opened my eyes and saw a little blue monkey facing away from me on my desk chair. I remembered reading about seeing things during SP and so I closed my eyes again because I was sightly scared of the monkey. More waves of SP. I opened my eyes again and the monkey was staring straight at me. I pulled myself out of bed, because I wanted to go visit my roommate. I was really heavy and everything became blurry as I lumbered across my room. I shouted 'clarity' but nothing happened. The monkey was still watching, and I was freaked that it was just gonna like jump at me or something, but it didn't. As soon as I got to the door, the dream ended.

So I haven't been sleeping well lately. I also have not been having LD's for a while.

I had two very brief ones over the course of the last week. I wrote about one already. The next day I also had a very brief one.

I went to bed about 3-4 am and couldn't sleep. I stared into the blackness and tried to get some visuals going.

After a few hours of nothing I began to see bright colors, vivid techni-colors like walls. I imagined it like a tunnel and tried to create an opening like a circle at the other end.

I could see through the tunnel and on the other end was my dream space. I had been thinking earlier in the night about dreaming I was in Florida by the pool.

There it was right through the color tunnel. I managed to reach it and could feel myself split between my physical body and dream body. I was by the pool and in bed.

It switched over to me just being by the pool. I was very excited. The dream wasn't fully formed. Everything was blank or unfinished. I remember jumping into the pool of water then going over to the side of the pool and picturing a girl there.

She was there but she had no features. No face, just a blank body. I remember reaching over to her to bring her closer to me and the dream started to fade and then my consciousness slipped fully back into my body.

As I lied in bed sleepless I began to slip off into small patches of sleep and wake back up again. At first I didn't notice but I began to recall having dreams. They weren't long. I must have been falling asleep for short periods of time like 5-15 mins tops then waking back up again.

I tried to focus on the blackness and tried to "spin" my vision. Like a mini-galaxy I spun what little white there was around and around. It is a little hazy what happened next but I think I opened another "portal" and entered a LD state.

I recall getting out of bed and walking up the stairs on the inside of my house. I know it was my house because as I walked up to the third floor I looked at the wall and saw there was no window. In my house there are two windows there and I saw they were absent. I remembered realizing it was SUPPOSED to be there. I was forming the dream around me and just had not added the windows.

I walked into the third floor apt looking for people but no one was there and once again the place was not "fully formed yet". The place was being "built" around me.

I don't recall much else except the fact that the LD wasn't very long and it faded away like the other.

I sent my daughter off to school then laid back down to try to get some sleep but it still wouldnt come.

Eventually I started to drift off into very small periods of sleep again (only a few minutes each) however they were semi-lucid dreams. I was lucid to a certain degree and only had control over my own actions, not the environment.

I must have had about 10 of these mini segmented LDs before I finally just got out of bed.

(False) WILD within a Dream:

I wish I remembered details better on this one. I do remember that I was involved with doing something within the dream. Then suddenly I started seeing the ocean. It didn't go with what was happening in the rest of the dream. My dream self suddenly "realized" that I just had a successful WILD. I felt so proud of myself. I decided I wanted to get closer to the ocean. Instead of flying like I usually do, I just pulled the ocean scene closer to where I was standing. I could see the setting sun gleam off the water and boats in the harbor. I remember just thinking about how beautiful it was and how real it looked.

I also remember that I was conscious of my "physical body". I was very sure that my physical body was standing in the real world. I could feel my arms hanging at my sides. I thought it was really cool that my mind could be seeing something completely different from my real body. I continued to stare at the ocean scene in front of me. I then carefully lifted what I thought were my real arms. I placed my hands over my eyes. I could see a faint shadow of my hands which darkened the ocean scene. I thought it was fascinating how I could be conscious in two places at once, and how I could be moving my real body yet not really seeing it because my mind was in a dream.

Then I "woke up" and went back to my original dream.


This kind of dream has happened to be several times before where I feel like I have entered a dream, yet I still am very aware of what I think is my real body. Yet the whole thing is all in my head.

I remember being out in the field and taking other troops out. I don't know how I did it initially, but I ended up taking someones assault rifle and magazines after I killed them. It took me like 5 minutes to put the clip in because the clip had some dust cover that had to be flipped off in order to connect it. Anyways....more killing ensued...and I found myself in a car with Mrs R. She kept hinting at how she wanted me...and then she turned into SGT C.

We were at a red light for minutes, so I knew it had to be a LD. I told her, we might as well do it right now in the middle of traffic. We started taking off our clothes and the sex started out pretty real and just got awkward. (for you people who never know how awkward my sex in dreams gets, I'll explain it) It was like her vagina and uterus was on the seat next to her and I was inside it, and she was tethered to it by random bloody tissue and ligaments. Anyways....I had to stop and wake up.

Lucid Dream:

I don't remember how it started. I just remembered that I was doing something and it came to me that I was dreaming, yet it took me a moment to let go of what I was doing and get on with the LD. I took off flying. I was flying fairly low through the streets of an old town. The wind was blowing fairly hard. It was the first time I remember ever flying in wind. I could feel the wind whipping through my hair a lot more than with normal flying, and it was pushing me around a bit. I remember wanting to fly faster and thinking about rockets on my feet (like I often do to fly faster) and felt myself speed up some.

I saw a girl standing in the street below, so I decided to stop and talk to her. I wanted to ask her something interesting, but nothing came to mind. She was holdng a piece of yellow paper. I looked at it and saw that it was a flyer. I read it (I had no problem reading the words. Ocassionally I will have trouble reading in dreams). I was determined that I would remember exactly what was on the flyer when I woke up. But it has now left me. It was something about a school event the girl was involved with.

And unfortunately that's all I remember of the dream.

1 Fragment
2 Dreams:

• A holiday thousands of miles away in the middle of dreamworld
• Alien encounter

Fragment:
I was given a large flatscreen tv. (Fragment- 0.5 points)

Dream 1:
I was in my house looking up at the stars, then an alien suddenly appeared next to me. It was short, only coming up to my knee cap and as the stereotype of aliens goes it had a huge bald head. I panicked and got scared, so I grabbed some bread and the key to my garage. I ushered it into the garage leaving the bread in there with it, then I shut the door and locked it.
The dream ended here. (Full dream- 1 point)

Dream 2: For this one I did a WBTB at 3.00am but it failed (WBTB attempt- 1 point)
Me and my family went on holiday to a different country and I took lots of £1 coins for some reason. That night we went to a resturant and was allowed behind this curtain which only VIP's are allowed to go and get a free meal. We all sat down at a long wooden table along with several other people and food was put in front of us all. I got something made of batter (possibly a yorkshire pudding) and some meat that looked very similar to sausage meat. It didn't taste of anything. (Ate food- 4 points) My mother had two wine glasses in front of her; one with red wine in and the other containing white wine. She said the white wine tasted horrible compared to the red and she passed the glasses over for me to try. The red tasted normal if not with a slight hint of blackcurrent squash. Then I tried the white wine, it tasted awful and was like sipping at pure vinegar! I agreed with my mother and gave her the glasses back. I looked to my left to find that I could see straight into the kitchens, on one of the worktops was a large amount of fish piled high. They had no skin or scales, they only had bones and there was meat inside the cage of bones. So the fishes bones were on the outside and it had a kind of red meat on the inside where it's bones would usually be. One fish was still alive and was flopping about, then the chefs set to work and one of them grabbed the fish that was flopping about and ripped open it's outer skeleton to get at the red meat inside, it was killed instantly as the chef then pulled the meat out from the fish.
Then the dream jumped to the next morning and I was going for my breakfast in the same resturant, again I was lead behind the VIP curtain, sat down at the table and given a free meal. I can't remember what I had to eat. Then the dream jumped once more, I was in a market place where for some reason I bought a large printer. The money being used by both me and the person selling me the printer, it looked like this:

These were something I thought of in a daydream, not only do they show that you are an archer they show your level of accuracy, the aim is if you can flip the coin, fire an arrow and get it through the hole in the middle then you are a skilled archer. In this context though they were used as a currency.
There was also what appeared to be a small box of cards but it was empty and had the number 92 on it. I think this represented a note, similar to a £5 note. Then workers started loading bits of this printer into the small truck next to me. there was one part that looked like an oversized grenade.
The dream ended here. (Full dream- 1 point)

I became lucid several times during the night, but the millisecond I realised I was dreaming I woke up. There was no time to panic or to stabilize so I'm not going to class those as lucid dreams. Oh well I'll have more tonight.

Dec.17,2011. Saturday

Went to bed at 12:15 am GM 4mg+300mg Choline at 4:22am. Lucid before 6:44am.

Few thing that played a role in me getting lucid last night.

1. I wanted to take GM already night before, but went to bed really late - 2am.
2. Read a thread on DV about making a "contract" to get an LD - I thought what a heck, it can't hurt. So I wrote one as an afterthought just before bed.
3. Took GM
4. Read R.Waggoner's Lucid Dreaming book just before bed and I just got to the really good part and was stoked about learning some new stuff, but i got this overpowering feeling to go to sleep and have an LD. So I did.
5. I started a new RC 2 days ago (little RC song about looking at my hands and getting lucid from it)

New element:
- First lucid longer than just seconds (one long was maybe 4 min) 7minutes long
- First time I counted my fingers (10 fingers on each hand)
- First time I reached in my pocket and pulled out what I expected to find there
- First time had time to RC more than once and touch walls
- First time flying by flapping arms in Lucid
- First time expected to change the scenery when turned around

DR at 4:22 am before GM
I'm in town NZ on C street. Someone is jumping on a trampoline, falling back on it and jumping up again. On top of the hill are some puddles - 2 elements are merging to create new lifeforms.

GM+Choline at 4:22 am

Went straight back to bed in hope to fall asleep and get up at 7 am for 1 hour WBTB.
But started to have some pretty strong color (golden) visuals like before HH, so I thought I'll go with it and see what happens.

So I guess I got in a WILD, because next thing I know I'm lucid. Pretty strange feeling, because I stayed aware of my body in bed. I guess it's because my cats body was touching mine and I was not able to fully detach from waking life.

LUCID: I enter into series of lucids, they continue, even after I change position. I was able to do everything you suppose to do in LD, which I was not able to do until now, because I guess, this was most evolved LD I had so far.

I start out at home in town NZ, in my bed in living room. I have a headrush and wake up in bed. I know it’s a LD and get up. I remember thinking to be carefull and not to squish my cat as rolling out of bed and chuckled at the thought, since I knew I had no physical body.

Then I’m a soldier in barracks. It’s night and me and my buddy are sneaking out to shop for some food. As we come to the door, I hear some noise and open the door slowly with my weapon aimed at the door. In walks another soldier and we are relieved, it’s not the enemy. My buddy makes a pit stop in the restroom, that suspiciously looks like restroom in GTA3 I’m playing IWL.

Some kids with their instructor are in the courtyard. She is telling them something about chickens. I leave the courtyard.
Outside are small, really cozy looking little streets with nice little houses in orangeish hues. I know all is changed because of the filming they are doing there. I read some signs – street names sound Finnish. But I know I’m not in Finland – they just changed the décor for filming.

I remember to stabilize – rub and clap my hands together. I have 10 fingers on each hand, they look normal otherwise.

Wall of the house is orange with some white ornaments, feels little bit bumpy. It’s dark outside, street light are on. I look down the street to the skies and couple times yell lights, or something like that. It gets a little lighter. I realize, I’m not really yelling, just whispering and I’m aware of my throat on my sleeping body.

Walk through winding street lined with trees and flowers and think lets fly instead. I fly up flapping my arms, not as easy as before in LDs, but make it to the roof.

Next I’m in a hungarian food fair. I immediately look for sausage to eat. I see chafing dishes under heat lamps on display full of pork chops and fish. No sausage. So I ask one of the guys if I can have a taste. I remember, I should not have expectation of taste. When I eat the fish, it’s kinda watery, but not so bad.

The other guy comes closer and offers taste of different fish. I accept. I know I don’t have any money to pay them. But I do know, all I have to do is reach in my pocket and expect to pull out money. So I reach in and pull out some coins, (they look like old roman coins) which I know is more then 3 coins, they were asking for. But I make them say it’s not enough, because I have an agenda, which is suitable only for my personal DJ

I keep counting my fingers. Even before I finish counting, I know I’m in a dream, because there is a small sore on my left ring finger, that I know is not there IWL. But still finish counting and it’s still 10 on each hand.

I know this is a different caliber of LD, because until now in my LDs, I was flying like superman, or levitating without any effort. In this one, I had to flap my arms, although I went very easily, mostly because I told myself it’s easy and I can do it.
While on a roof, I say ‘when I turn around, there will be town B”, which I had a plan to explore. But there was some other town or something else, couldn’t really make it out.

first part of LD was sleeping on my right side, second part on left side.

Well, I'm writing this on the morning of my second lucid dream in two weeks! It's been a while since I LD'd, but I definitely now know for sure that the best time for me to do it is in the morning when sleeping in; this is when I dream the most anyway. It's basically WBTB caused by the sun coming up and my alarm going off.

Anyway, the first LD happened about a week ago. I don't exactly remember when I became lucid, but it seems like pretty much the beginning. I was in like almost what you'd think of as a train station. Not the train platform, but the shopping center like meeting area of a large train station. Since the last time I had a LD I really wished I had examined my surroundings after I woke up, I decided to do so. I walked up to this sort of barrier thing that I could see over (two pillars stretching to the ceiling with a wall between them that went to about 5' high and had plants in the top and benches on both sides ) and on the other side were 2 elevator doors. Wow, I really wish I had thought to go over to the elevator doors. This is my problem in LD's so far, I still consider the dream a shaky unstable thing so I kind of rush to do everything.
So, I looked at the doors, looked at something close nearby, etc. I only did it for like 15 seconds probably. Then I went back to where I'd been before, which wasn't very far away and was the same kind of theme, everything was a nice shiny light brown color, and there were large singular pillars with plants in the top and benches on all sides. I wanted to have sex in the dream, as always, so suddenly there was a girl at the bench with us. I think I was with a couple friends. I went up to the girl and started unbuttoning her shirt as we made out.
That was all that happened, though, and the next thing I remember I was over by this wall covered in pieces of white paper with children's drawings on them. They were on a wall that I remember as being either in or closer to the actual train platforms. Or wait, no... ok, well I was looking for big black portions on the pieces of paper because I had a piece of chalk and the black portions somehow worked as chalkboard. I wanted to draw a door in the chalkboard and go through it to somewhere. However, I could only find small little bits of "chalkboard" and the biggest door I drew was like 1 x 2 feet. This is sort of encouraging though because I know that I could have drawn a door and gone through it, but was limited by the circumstances in my dream.. shows me that I need to learn dream control better but that creating a door (something I really want to achieve) is possible.
This was about the end of the dream, I think I attempted squeezing through the door and I couldn't.

And now for this morning's dream. I wish I had put down the last one sooner so I could've applied its lessons . So I was in a place with a similar color scheme (large shiny tiles of light brown stone) but this time I believe it was a castle of some kind. Although I was never outside, I know it was up at the top of a mountain. So, I was just kind of walking into this room that was in the castle and yet was almost like a department store and I realized that I was dreaming. I don't know whether I was sort of awake or not, but I remember feeling quite awake about it, like I was partway in the waking world even though I didn't see or feel it. So IMMEDIATELY (with perhaps too much a sense of urgency) I decided to go examine some books/pictures in this large bin thing full of books and CDs and such. The picture that I looked at (for like 5 seconds ) was similar to a painting I'd seen the last night:

Anyway, it looked like that. The next thing I remember is that, what do you know, I wanted to find someone to have sex with again. lol, so I was trying to find someone but there was no one around. I got outside and was on like this staircase that sort of wrapped around the castle when I ran into this woman I sometimes see who talks my ear off. Somehow she was advising me on finding a person though, and she actually seemed to be an authority on the dreamworld and what I could do and stuff. Wish I'd been conscious enough to ask her questions. Anyway, unfortunately I found myself being pulled out of the dream. I tried to hold on, and "asked" why it was happening, and then I could distinctly hear my alarm clock going off. It was really annoying, because I know that if there hadn't been some continuous distraction that I had to wake up and deal with, I could've gotten back into the dream.

So, those are the two lucid dreams I've had recently! I hope to have more, and since school's out now I should be able to sleep in more frequently and possibly have some! The biggest thing I've realized is that I need to not feel quite so urgent about looking at/examining things. Also, whether I do both or only one, I need to actually revolve and look at my surroundings, not just something up close. Probably something up close first, but then afterwards look around. It would also be good if I were to put the sex bit aside for once to do some exploration! Still want to materialize a phone or something in my pocket that I can use to control things, need to go through doors, talk to DC's, etc. I need to forego trying to make things appear and stuff at least a little bit, though, to just gain experience on what it's like to be in a dream. But yeah, it sure is motivating and exciting to know that I can lucid dream and also that I will be able to control things.

Was gong to some ski town with Leo. It was large and snowy and for some reason everyone was stressed and pissed off. Leo and I snuck to the top of the line and Leo stole extra tokens from the people that worked there. We went inside and everyone was angry. This fat woman yelled at me from across the hall. I lost it and ran at her and threw her food everywhere and threw her or of the *building. I knew she was dangerous so I went to hide. There was a room where everyone was doing small gymnastics and I joind them doing handstands *eventually the woman came in and. Jumped into a handstand so she wouldn't recognize me. She did and came for me. I was upside down and too vulnerable so I went back I time and his when she came in. She was harassing the others so I came out. We went to another room where I killed her. Some music came on. All was well. *

Was laying in bed. I heard the fan on and noticed a weird vibration in my head. I knew it was time to shift. My eyes were closed and there was only black so I knew it would take some effort. I imagined getting up and walking into the hall. Images started appearing. I heard Kara's voice trying to help me shift. I was frantically touching the walls. For a second a full image appeared and I was in. Then it faded and I was in full blackness again. I tried for what felt like forever and finally gave up. It was a good try.*

Random memory's of breaking the chalk board because some friend of Kara's drew over my eye. Walking to get a towel. Being outside and slipping on the mud. They ruined my new shoes and I got pissed. I put caution tape all over the mud. I washed my shoes and got all wet and went inside. I wondered why I wasn't cold. *
