Dream - Lucid

I was at my house in the playroom. I was looking at my left foot. I pushed the top middle of it, right under my middle toe, and it opened to show wires and mechanics; my foot was mechanical. (think Will Smith’s arm in I, Robot).

Apparently, the reason I had a mechanical foot, was because Jason had one. I talked to him on the phone about it at some point. I don’t remember if it was through text or actually talking on the phone.

I then remember talking to my mom about it. She was asking me if she was sure that was a good idea. And I kept backing it up saying it was a good idea.

Jason did tell me that he had lost the feeling in his foot after awhile. I noticed that my mechanical foot wasn’t as sensitive as my real foot. I didn’t think it was a huge deal.

I was watching a movie about a female high school student who posed as a teacher. It was a comedy, kind of like Easy A or something. The girl had straight, short/medium length dark brown hair, and glasses. She had an accomplice, her friend, who was helping her cover it up. I kept seeing them get in the accomplice’s car and go places.

I think she finally got caught.

I then remember talking to my mom about the movie. I’m not sure where we were, but we were in a room somewhere. In the middle of talking to her, I had the realization that I was dreaming. I smiled, and looked at my mom and told her this was a dream, and I got the same look most DCs give me when I mention that. I ran past her.

I examined my hands to keep the dream stable. I also yelled
“Stabalize!”, which successfully stabilized my dream.

I went by a dried up potted plant sitting on a counter. I touched the leaf and it felt so real and vivid. I love it when that happens.

Then, I remember being upstairs. I was in a room that looked similar to the bonus room. I wanted to go somewhere else; to get out of the house and fly outside. I tried to tear up the ceiling, but only saw insulation.

I then spotted a dark blue wall with I think yellow stars on it; it almost looked like it was wrapped in wrapping paper. I started to tear it up, trying to find something or somewhere new. It came off in big blocky chunks, and just looked the same underneath as it did on the surface.

I woke up in sleep paralysis. I kept still and let it buzz until I went back into the dream. When my mind was sure I was dreaming, a voice in my head said
“Action!”

I then effortlessly floated from my body in my bed. I was then close to my body’s head, and looked down and saw my body. It was laying on its back, and its eyes were open wide; it looked so frightened. I gently stroked its head of messy hair. I felt compassion for the body lying there.

I examined my hand to try to stabilize the dream, and it worked for a second, but I then lost it.

Again, I woke up in sleep paralysis, and the same scenario repeated, and I again heard
“Action!”

I then was in a room. I wanted to fly, but it had been so long that it was proving to be difficult; I felt held down by gravity. I fought the heavy feeling in my legs, and took off through the ceiling and into this crazy cloud world. The hues of the clouds were grey and blue, and there were all these colorful floating structures; it reminded me of a Super Mario Galaxy world.

I was a little unsure of the flying at first, but I then felt like I was riding a current, and it got so much easier. I rushed by all these crazy floating structures, some that were swinging back and forth. I was smiling and laughing, saying
“I’m dreaming! I’m dreaming!!”

Was at home living with my mom dad and brother. I was telling my dad about yoga and how he should try it. He said adam should try it and wewarm talked about the plans for yoga and if he would try it. He agreed. I made a energy drink and realized I was late for yoga! I hurried as fast as possible and ran out the door. I had to use my moms keys because I couldn't find mine. I was trying to go super fast and baron got loose. I gathered him up and threw him in the house. I was in ky neighborhood driving super fast around traffic. I realized I would make it and calmed down. My energy drink spilled and I got pissed. I took a left turn super fast and skid off a super high hill. I knew I was going to die. There was slight fear but I was laughing. I became super present and knew this is what my mediation has been for. I thought back to the lesson s of the last dream amended prepared. The car fell and I felt my spine snap. Blackness. I woke.


Was at some monk meditation place continuing my practices of mediation. This dream was super long and fun though is lightly remembered as it was my first dream. I went through several tests ans trainings. The most vivid part was my final test. There were spirits in a room oracles. They would tell us where to to next and what is to happen. I went into the room. I was struck with fear but did not show it. The room was unstable and moving like I was on a high dose of Shrooms. I went past everyone who looked like they were failing and sat near a mirror and into meditation pose. There was energy and steam rising from my body. Suddenly strong images formed. I was in the forest. There was a giant house made of tree and I lived there. Life was fast forwarding. It showed me many things but all near the tree. I was to live there my whole life secluded and alone. That was slightly saddening. As I died my body turned to ash and after sometime a mew tree infront of my house grew. The vision was over. I left the room and told the monk the spirit had come. He was pleased and impressed and sent me to the next test/training.

There was a big group of people at my house. We were all preparing to go to yoga. I told everyone the night before that we would wake early and go. Nobody was eating when I said to eat. These two guys were suppliers to go but were playing baseball outside. I yelled that they failed me. One tried to sell me a manicure. Leo was im the office. I went to him and said to eat. He was eating weed brownies. I laughed and said eat real food. He said he just got up. His Mas was still hard. He said my weed brownies sucked. I left to eat cereal. My brother and dad were watching on of my movies. Halfway through it stopped and talked a a out government intervention and how they were making us their slaves. In the move a guy was preparing the plane. I told Leo and he panicked. Be wasn't ready. I was already packed so I just sat their and waited. Kara sat on my foot. I woke.

Was staking items on diablo. My gear was way better. People said don't duel me but be did anyway. He was hurting me but I killed him. Andy was in town act 1. I killed him again. He quit the game. Alarm went off.

Lucid. Was at some underground scene were a musclum woman was prostrating. Everyone loved her. I was alone. A girl next to me gave mr a hit and I smoked it. It was shitty weed and her boyfriend went to get more. Ilthere was a guy spinning poi. I left to go pee and realized I was late to yoga. I want to the place and it was fully empty. I was bit spooked it looked kinda scary. At this point I knew it was a dream. I closed ky eyes and imagined being in the yoga studio. I felt the walls tried to hear voices of yogies and finally heard some. The walls were becoming stable now. I was fully in. This was bigger than my yoga studio ans super vivid. I went to a room and said hello to some dancers. I made one of them spin the staff for me. Later I found out it was a hula hoop. He spun it very well and I was super impressed. I tried to do it but the hulas were too small. It was kind of cool because you could adjust length by pulling. I left him to explore. I spent a bit just walking and observing. It faded but I fully restabalized and continued. People in the studio kept saying hi. I saw the exit of the studio and wondered what would happen if I just stared at something. It was red paint on the floor. The longer I satared the brighter it became. it would change shape. It looked like new paint was spilling over it. I finally left and walked outside. It was intense. I could hear my footsteps echoing in my head as well as the sound of cars. I looked around the beautiful sunny dreamscape and thought that these people were all mine. This made the dream quiver like an earthquake. I woke.

Note: This was the ODDEST dream I have ever had. I could think on my free will (I can't in my non-lucid dreams), but I couldn't control my actions. So I guess it was in the middle of lucidity and non-lucidity. It was also very vivid and when I woke up I was still contemplating if it was real or a dream. It also was very short, only one or two minutes. So... yeah. On the the dream now!

I was laying on my stomach on my bed, meditating trying to do astral projection. My ears started popping and I felt like I was electrocuted. I got so excited and scared that it failed and I had to start over. I tried again and soon enough I felt the ear thing and I felt electrocuted. I felt myself rip out of my body and I could see down after levitating a few feet. Everything in my room was disappearing and new things were appearing. I was going to look back at my body but I got thrown against my will (my soul, not my physical body) to the other side of the room. Everything was incredibly bright, yet my eyes didn't hurt at all. I got sucked back to my body and it was over.

First Lucid In Awhile (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I don't remember much of what I was doing before I became lucid, I just know that I was in a restaurant of some kind. I think I was there against my will or something, and I was pretty bored. I looked to my left, and saw a weird black tube of some sort. I started thinking that I was probably dreaming, and I did a nose pinch RC just to be sure. The dream instantly became clearer. I immediately thought of the thing I love doing the most, flying. I tried floating a bit but it wasn't working. I left the restaurant and now my boyfriend Devin was following me. I saw a smaller building and decided to jump off of it and see if I could fly that way. For some reason, Devin was trying to stop me from climbing the building. He grabbed my leg and tried to pull me down when I got to the top.

I pushed him away and went to the other end of the roof. I decided to treat it like an airplane runway, and I ran and jumped off the edge. I was a little worried at first, because I knew if I fell, it would still hurt even though it was a dream. No worries though, I took off fine and flew around a bit. I decided to fly to the airport and fly beside a plane. As I flew above a railroad track that apparently led to the airport, I thought about my body laying back in my bed then immediately stopped because I knew that would probably wake me up. As I flew, I found it was getting harder to stay high up and I was just brushing above these plants growing by the railroad tracks. I was almost at the airport and I woke up.

This is my first entry in my Dream Journal, to help me on my way to lucid dreaming.
I went to bed very tired at about 9 pm. I laid in bed for n hour on my back, counting my slow breaths until I felt that familiar sensation of sleep paralysis, pushing down on me. I could be very aware of my surroundings, is the best way I can describe it, where even though I know my eyes are closed and I cannot open them, I can see my bedroom clearly. This usually would fade after a few moments and I would slip into a regular dream, which I'll get to later.
Perhaps the difference was that tonight I tried to slip into SP on my own, instead of when it usually happens for me - right after vivid REM sleep, usually with intense HH. Tonight I had little HH, for once - only soft whooshing sounds, faint shaking of my environment (as if in an earthquake), and pressure on my body. Maybe I was scaring myself - my SP is often frightening, and I kept remembering violent HH I had had in the past.
Anyway, once I was in a twilight-state of paralysis and wakefulness, I'd somehow hear the phrase in my head, "Am I dreaming?", followed by a horrible sense of dread, which would jolt me from my attempt. Another possible variable is that I have a headcold, therefore my breathing is irregular, often slowing or picking up speed.

I eventually fell asleep after giving up around 10:15. It's now exactly two hours later. For once I don't remember much, seeing as out of habit I tried to just fall back asleep as opposed to trying to focus on the more intense parts of my dream. I'll be going back to bed in a few moments, trying again a few times to enter the middle-state on my own terms.

I was having a long traveling dream of driving over different highways. Then it started to get dark and a girl in the car yelled "LOOK!" I did but saw nothing at first then I saw a tornado off in the distance.
The guy driving started racing away to get away but when I looked again it was right near us! Then it tore open the car from the windshield and the girl screamed but suddenly I was not buying this dream any more. I said in a exasperated tone, "I got it" and put my hands up and held the twister and waited for it to dissipate, which it did very quickly. The skies brightened and everyone in the car made statements on how lucky and relieved they were but I was pouting.
I was thinking "this stinks! Nothing in these dreams is real." When I was a kid everything seemed so real, now it's like watching a crappy black and white movie with predictable crappy plots and crappy predictable actors, blah.

I awoke. "I should be focusing on the short haired girl [a reoccurring character former dreams]," I thought since it seems she really is me in some form.

This new dream was just as vivid and the like the other but this time it had a short haired girl in it. I saw her and interacted but there was nothing special about this girl. When I said telepathically {it's me} she just looked at me like I said it out loud and waited for me to follow up that statement. This girl is just another DC.

I had two more dreams something like this is but different environments and each time the girl in it was not the real deal. The last dream I had, had me trying to talk to the girl when some other girl nearby whipped out a knife, and with a huge smile, stabbed me in my left shoulder where the collar bone would be! This kind of pissed me off in a "these dreams are not helping" kind of way. I looked down and the gaping slashed hole and closed it with my thoughts and shook my head and thought "this is not working." Exasperated I woke up and felt a little defeated.


Notes: I have never willed someone into my dreams before so by default I instead did what I have done plenty of times, created a DC. Tonight I will try a new tactic of replaying her "roles" in my former dreams to get her essence and then call out for that.

I had a bunch of short dreams last night. I went to bed with that feeling that I was going to lucid dream. i don't know why, but I can almost sense them coming.


Dream 1 (mini lucid):

I don't remember becoming lucid. I just remember being lucid. I was standing in the kitchen with my dad. My dad was looking down at something on the counter. He had a kind and knowing little smile on his face, and he was humming this tune.

I remember thinking that there was something very significant to the tune. I told myself that it was very important to remember this tune.

All I remember at this point is it was G A B (quarter note, quarter note, half note) repeated three times. After that it went on to something more complex that I no longer remember.

I believe this dream was inspired by Oneironaught's dream yesterday and my comments to him.

Old Dream from 4-22-07

Dream 8:

I was standing by a car on a street in LA where my best childhood best friend lived. I could see kids all playing outin the street. I wondered in anyone would recognize me.

Then they started running and one shouted at me "The bandits are coming! Hide in you car."

I looked down the street which was no empty of children and saw these guys on motorcycles coming down. They had guns and were shooting into the houses. I knew my car wasn't the safest, but I knew if I ran toward I house at this point would justmake me an easy target.

So I got in the car and ducked down low.

I suddenly realized that my car was moving down the street. They guys on motorcycles were following me.

We got a a big intersection and were about to turn. I distintly remember thinking, "I can just watch this as a movie. I don't have to participate."

That thought made me LUCID.

I realized that I didn't have to stay in the car and be chased by the guys with guns. I could make them all go away.

I wanted out of the car. I remembered a recent thread on DV about how LDs could be dangeous if you do things that could kill you in real life. So I decided I didn't want to just open the door and jump out--I might be starting a bad habit.

But before I could figure out a solution, the car door opened on its own, so I flew out. I flew up to the top of a building. I landed and thought for a second about what I wanted to do as my Task for this dream. I thought about the coming Task for May. I debated for a moment on whether I should try it or not. I knew it was too early to get credit for it. I looked around. I saw a planter in the median that was planted with palm trees. I took a good look at that first palm tree. Should I...should I....?

But before I could do anything more, I woke up.



Dream 9:

I was sad to have awakened so quickly from the LD I had just barely started so I willed myself back to the dream. The next thing I knew I was back at that intersection and very lucid. It was now dusk. I looked back down at the palm tree and decided not to do that Task. I decided instead that I wanted to make a Star Wars Character appear. I decided I would be happy with either Luke or Anakin. I hoped that they would have their light sabers with them.

But I woke up again before anyone showed up.

Old LD from 4-11-07

Dream (Lucid):

I was walking with several people. I remember my sister and Jeff being there. We were walking toward the beach. It was late evening and the sun was setting. It was the most beautiful thing I ever remembering seeing. I suddenly became lucid.

I started floating. I wanted to fly down to the water. But Jeff grabbed my foot and wouldn't let me go. I got mad and started kicking at his hand. I said, "Dang it--I'm lucid! Let me fly!"

Finally he either let go , or I kicked myself loose and started trying to fly off. But then my sister started grabbing my leg. I said, "What's wrong with you people? I'm lucid. I need to go."

She let go finally. But I was still having some trouble flying very high.

I thought of all the things I could do in a lucid dream. But in this dream I decided I didn't want to be in a hurry. I would fly over the ocean (shore) and then I would decide what I wanted to do.

Since I was having problems flying I kept trying to find things to kick off of (kind of like when you are swimming) to kind of propel me forward.

I finally got out over the water, but I kept sinking lower, so I had to aim myself for this guy's boat. I was going to kick off of it to help me fly.

But then I felt the dream fade.

It worked. I had to lay in bed for quite a while. I even thought I wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep. But I did.

Old LD from 4-07

And I completed both Tasks!!

It started in a dream where I was trying to get away from this guy . He was big and liked me and was really creeping me out. I had to get away from him, so I ran into an office, then into a furniture store (even hid under a couch for a while).

Then I decided to come out. I realized it was very rude of me to run away. I need to confront him and tell him how I felt. And maybe he wouldn't be so bad after all.

Then I saw my family waiting for me. My dad (who is dead) was there.

Seeing my dad triggered lucidity. I went up to him. I thought "It's been so long".

I reached out and took his hands and noticed the way his skin felt.

I put my face to his and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek. It felt so real. Just like it would have in real life. I almost forgot what I had wanted to be doing in a lucid dream. I just wanted to enjoy being with my dad.
But then he said something to me about my mom. I looked over at my mom, then my sister. Then I remembered.

"C, you have got to come with me to find a tree!" I ran out the building. She called after me, "Don't you want to take the car?"

I said, "I don't have time--any tree will do. There's got to be one close-by."

I ran out and saw that I was in a plant nursery. I looked around and saw no trees--just smaller plants.

Then I looked on a top shelf and saw a small tree in a pot. I jumped on the shelves and started to climb. The customers didn't like what I was doing and started to complain. I ignored them. I made it to the top where the tree was only to find out it was more of a vine. It was quite small.

Disappointed, I jumped back down and took off running.

I was now in a park. I saw over to the far end what looked like a big tree. When I got to it, though, I saw that it was hollowed out into a kids' play place. I could hear kids laughing inside and the splashing of water. At first I thought I would still try to hug it. But I realized that it was dead. I didn't think I could merge with a dead tree.

Finally in the very corner of the park I was a medium sized cottonwood. I ran to it. It's trunk wasn't very big (diameter of only 10 inches or so) but I grabbed ahold of it and started hugging. I hugged and hugged.

Then I started asking myself what "merging with a tree" was supposed to feel like. Had I merged yet?

I opened my eyes. I could see my shadow holding the tree. I figured as long as I could see my shadow separate from the tree I hadn't "merged". So I kept hugging, occasionally opening an eye to look at the shadow.

Finally I started to feel dizzy. I could tell something was finally happening. I couldn't see anything recognizable, and I felt like I was hanging upside down.

"I merged, " I told myself.


Then I thought about the basic Task. I was still dreaming. I figured I might as well try that one as well. As soon as I thought that I was back out of the tree and back to just hugging it.

I let go and looked around. There seemed to be some sort of Easter activity going on at the park. I guessed that they had had an Easter Egg hunt earlier. I saw a paper plate on the ground by a picnic table which had a picture of a pink Easter Bunny on it.

I started running again. I tried to decide if I was looking for a real bunny, a cartoon bunny, or someone dressed up as an easter bunny. I decided that which ever one I found I would count it.

I finally looked over and saw an Easter Bunny sitting in a chair. At first it looked like a person in a costume. But as I got close I could tell it was much too small for that.

He had just finished talking to a child. When that child left, I said to him, "Hello, Easter Bunny."

"Hello", he said back in a robotic sort of voice.

I couldn't think of anything to say to him, so I politely said, "How are you doing, Easter Bunny?"

"I'm doing fine, " he said back.


Suddenly I got excited as I realized I had completed both Tasks and unfortunately that woke me up.

Old LD from 4-4-07

Okay, I am up in the night because I just had a lucid dream. Its unusual to have an LD this early in the night. I probably had it between 12:00 and 1:00.

And it was one of those dreams where as soon as I woke up, I thought, Oh crap, how am I going to remember all that I just did? And I think that I am still half asleep, becuase I don''t seem to be typing my best right now.

So here is my attempt at putting it all back together again.

Lucid Dream:

I believe somewhere in the beginning of the dream I had been talking to other dream characters about the goal to become lucid. We had talked about if we became lucid we would soar up to the clouds because the clouds were looking very beautiful.

Then somewhere in here I realize that I am dreaming. I am briefly tempted to look for an Easter Bunny. But I am still pulled by the dream I was just having.

I decided to go find my friend and take her with me soaring up to the clouds.

It gets fuzzy here. I believe I found my friend and am soaring with her. Then I feel myself wake up. But instead I find myself still in the dream but on the ground. So I fly back up to the clouds with my friend again. I belive this pattern happens a few times.

I am wondering how lucid I actually was by the end of this dream. I am going to say that I was lucid, but I wasn't really controling anything. I just really wanted to be flying though those clouds, so I went with the flow.

By the end I had two friends with me. The sky had turned more into the ocean. There were still clouds, but there were also jelly fish floating all around us. Lots of them--in some places there were huge clusters of them. They weren't the stinging kind other wise we would have been in trouble because we had to keep pushing out way through the clusters.

There were times in the dream wehre I was so surrounded by clouds that I almost started to feel claustraphobic. I had to have my friends hold my hands so we wouldn't get separated. Because there was no visibility. The clouds felt like I would imagine real clouds to feel--a little damp and "thick".

Also at one point we cleared the top of the clouds and came out into the yellow moon light. I remember being just in awe of what I was seeing. It was so beautiful.




It's not even 1:30 yet. I don't have to get up for almost five more hours, so I will try to focus on having another LD tonight. This time I will think Tree.

Old LD from 3-07

I just did the Advanced Lucid Task!


It started off in an elementary school. I went outdoors with another teacher and a group of kids to get something. We went out across the street and I noticed a big storm coming in. It hit us with a sudden fury. I thought that that was very unusual. I looked up at the clouds and noticed that I could see a funnel cloud starting to form.

Again that hit me as strange since we don't normally get tornados where I live. Then I thought, "Could this be a dream." It actually took a few seconds before I was totally convinced. I decided to try to fly. I almost was doubting that I could because this dream felt very real-life. But I jumped a couple of times and then took off into the sky.

I immediately remembered what I was supposed to be doing. I flew into some clouds, and when I flew out I could see the ocean ahead. I flew out over the ocean and came to the closest thing to an island. It was a long string of rocks and boulders sticking up out of the ocean. I looked around. I really wanted to have CoLd BlooDed, Ranma, and Oneironaut show up and help me with this since we had been talking about it. But I could see no people.

The boulders were covered with an abundance of animal life. I was in a hurry to get started because when I had the dream last night I woke up before I even got a chance to land on the island.

I swooped down and grabbed the closest animal--a sea turtle--and flung it as far as I could into the ocean. Then I moved on and grabbed some otters and also flung them out into the ocean. I moved along as quickly as I could flinging all manner of sea animals back out into the ocean.

Then I suddenly stopped and thought, "Wait, something is not right here. Snakes....I need to be getting rid of the snakes, not otters and marine iguanas.

I looked around again and saw a couple of cobras in the rocks. I grabbed them by their tails and swung them out into the ocean."

I flew along the rocks until I was sure that there were no more. And I was confident that I had rid this small chain of rocky islands from all snakes.

I had totally forgotten in my haste that I had planned ahead of time to use my "mind powers" to get them off the island. But I seemed to get the job done regardless.


Now my lucid dream goes on, but it gets a little weird.

I transistioned and was suddenly flying around inside a very large church. I was flying over people's heads, but wasn't paying them any attention since I knew that they weren't real.

I came to a very large reflective glass window. I looked at my reflection. I took note of what I was wearing. I had on a really strange outfit. I had on a whilte blouse and over that I had on a white tank top with a light green camo tank top. I was also wearing a white, almost see through white skirt.

I thought it was really the ugliest outfit I could possibly be wearing. I decided what I really wanted to be wearing was a pink bikini. I tried to make myself instantly be wearing the bikini. I couldn't do it. But I knew if I took off my other clothes, that I would have the bikini on underneith.

I must have felt like I was in a big hurry in my dreams, because I didn't just take my clothes carefully off--I ripped them off. And sure enough, there was my cute pink bikini that I had wanted. I looked at my reflection and thought I looked good. I am embarrassed to write this but after looking at myself for a minute, I decided to take the bikini top off and see how I looked. I did, and looked at myself and thought that I looked the same as in real life. And I'm going to have to stop here....sorry......


Note:

I had awakened at three in the morning. I got up for about an hour, took 50 mg of B6, then went back to be and half-heartedly tried to WILD. I had the Task fully on my mind as I fell back to sleep. And it worked.

Old LD from 3-21-07

Before I went to sleep I took some B6 and laid in bed imagining how I would complete the Lucid Task this month. I decided to skip straight to the snake task. I thought the hard part would be to find the island. So I decided that since I would probably be flying, that I would make myself fly over a cloud , then when I was past the cloud I would look down and see that I was flying over the ocean, and I would then see the island.

Once on the islnd I would see these bushes with snakes hiding behind them. I would then use my wonderful mind power and pick up the snakes with my mind (like I did with the rocks in a past LD) and fling them into the ocean until I had cleared the whole island of the snakes. That was my plan.


Dream 1:

I was flying. I suddenly realized that since I was flying it couldn't possibly be real life--that I must be in a dream. I immediately remembered what I was supposed to try to do. I looked around for a cloud and saw one ahead of me. I flew over it for a short time then looked down . Below I saw that I was flying over the ocean. I flew lower and tried to find an island. I did see an island. As I flew closer I focused my mind on creating bushes and snakes so that I would be able to drive the snakes away.

But on the way to the island something terrible happened. I woke up.


But this goes to show that I just need to focus more on LDing right before bed, and I will have more success. Not that this will happen everytime I try. But I think the extra focus always increases the chances. I will try this again.

Old LD From 2-28-07

A WILD within a dream....

I was on a football field for some non-sports event. I was talking to a black girl who in the dream was my friend. I was suddenly feeling kind of tired. I told her, "Hey--this would be a great time to WILD."

So I stood there and relaxed and focused-- and felt myself leave my body. As I started to float I remember thinking, "Hey, I did it-- I'm dreaming! I have never done it like this before."

I started flying. I was no longer in the football field, but by some red cliffs. I started flying up the cliffs staying very low, almost skimming the cliffs.

I remember realizing that I was still very aware of my "real" body still standing in the field. Although I was flying I still very aware of my arms hanging by my sides in what I thought was real-life.

Because of this I reached out with my dream hands and ran my hands up and down my arms that were stretched out in front of me as I flew. That helped me feel more part of the Lucid Dream. I flew up the mountian and then I started worrying abut my body left in the field so I flew back down and back into my body.

I "awoke" back in the field and was then excited to tell my freind what had happened.

Old Dream from 2-17-07

Another lucid dream....

I am seeing a bit of a pattern here. Again I was awakened. I was awake between 1:30 and 4:00. As I went back to sleep I tried to WILD. I don't remember transitioning. But I remember being lucid and in a dream.

I was flying. I remembered that I really wanted to fly over Lake Powell again. I looked down and saw that I was flying over the desert, and in front of me I saw the dam and Lake. I wanted to fly under the bridge and over the dam and across the lake.

I was flying swimming style, but going faster than I have been lately. I could feel the wind and coolness of the air as I flew below the bridge and over the dam...and across the Lake.

Then somehow I was in a hallway in a high school. I saw many people walking by. I randomly chose one of the guys. I wanted him to be the one to ask my future. He ended up being fairly good looking. I pulled him aside and talked to him like I was making friends.

And at this point I think I lost lucidity because I ended up deciding to hang out with him and be his friend. I forgot to ask him the question.

I can't remember how the dream ended.

When I finally woke up, I decided not to fully wake myself up to write the dream down. I am going to have to travel in a few minutes and I didn't want to risk not going back to sleep again for the night. I had already missed a few hours by being awake.



Edit:

I just remembered that at one point while I was still lucid I went outdoors and thought about making a tornado appear. I remember it being a difficult decision---I wasn't sure I wanted to give up my very cute heart badge...lol. I noticed many strange looking clouds in the sky. I looked around for a tornado. I didn't see one already there, so I'm thinking I didn't pursue it any further.
