lucid

Alright, this makes up for the nightmare LD I had last night. Oh MAN this dream was great. The dream was as realistic as real life. I know that probably isn't a big thing for you, but I am pretty fricken excited. I have never had such a vivid LD. Alright, I guess I should tell you about it now!
Also, my next goal is getting better dream control.

Alright, I should probably give you quick backstory. This dream was actually a bit longer than I thought. You see, I lived with my parents, but they weren't really my parents. They were different people entirely. And one day someone came to our door and trapped us in. The guy somehow was scamming us for money and when he left we had nothing. Then the world got upgraded with these high-tech items, but they didn't work, and this was causing a global outburst.

Well, the dream starts with my friend and we need to stop everything that is happening. We go to tons of places and start to take care of what is happening. We leave the house and start to cure the world of its problems. We end up with another one of my friends and we enter some sort of casino. People are crowding for money pouring out of machines and I suddenly become lucid.

I have never had an LD like this. Everything was so vivid. There were no blurry views, and the world was so active. We ran out of the building in the the town I was in during about two past dreams. I will find out which ones later. Suddenly we realized the guy that started this all was in a gas station about a mile away. Due to my poor LD skills I wasn't able to fly.

Oh well, I was running with my friends. Suddenly a goon comes up and tries to kill us, but I think up a strange beam coming from my hands to kill him, and thank god it does. We continue running and one of my friends runs faster and ends up at the gas station. Suddenly the gas station begins to crumble. We run faster and actually make it as the place is falling apart. I noticed my thoughts were getting cloudy so I shouted for clarity. Nothing too strange, except for a few people staring at me like I'm an idiot after yelling that.

We try to talk to the bad guy, but he won't listen. I realize if I go to my parents I could prove what he has been doing, and report the cops. I run out and run to my house. I quickly run to my parents working on the house and loose lucidity.

I tell my parents about whats happening and they want me to help around the house. I do a small job and go behind my barn and see my dad working on a fence. I realize that if I stay there I will have to work, so I run. I suddenly remember I am dreaming again.

Alright, time to get my dream flying down. I go behind my house and attempt the jump. It doesn't work, but the jump actually felt like I was using my muscles. The dream was so realistic. I decided to climb to the top of my house and attempt it. I got on top and started to run. I turned my head for a second and this moved my real head.

Coolest dream ever! I loved it! Totally makes up for the horror that was the mirror in my last dream. Man, I am so excited right now!

I wake up in my bed, decide to nose plug RC I can breathe!
I get up out of bed, walk out of my room, its still really dark, I float down the stairs, my dad is slumped at the bottom, against my front-door. He mumbles something to me as i pass him, i ignore him and carry on.

I walk through my living room to the doors that lead to my garden, when i reach them i start punching the glass in the door, it doesn't break and i can feel my hand connect, i try again, harder and harder but still nothing happens. I give up and just open the door to walk outside, its light out now, i walk down the patio section and try to fly, i manage to float a few metres forward but thats all. I'm determined to fly so i start jumping hoping that i will get higher and higher, but i don't. I decide i want a fight and see my mother appear from my bedroom window at the top of the house. She looks stern and angry (which is just NOT like her) She throws a small brownish like box at me from the window, i raise my hand and stop the box in mid-air with TK and send it flying back at her. She disappears from the window so i try to bring the entire side of the house down with TK, i manage to make it shake and dust and steam flies out of the top but other than that, nothing happens. My mum comes out of the double doors that i just used and steps onto the patio, sword in hand. I need to find a weapon and reach into my pockets, after a few seconds of feeling around i can feel a sword-hilt, i take it out. The sword is very small, but its all i got.

We start to fight with the swords, faster and faster, until they are just a blur and i wonder how i can keep up with this. Then i start to hear noises, screams and shouts, from a few gardens down, they don't sound bad, they sound like a few people having fun. "enough of this, i want to go over there, it sounds like fun" my mum walks back inside while i walk to the end of my garden, listening to the noises.

I wake up in my bed, but its outside in my garden, its daytime and i get up and walk towards my house, on the way i find a huge sword, laying on the grass but cant make sense of it.

I wake up for real.

Alright, lets get this out of the way. I have Catoptrophobia. I can't say that it is incredibly bad, but I get really paranoid around mirrors. Especially in a dark area. I don't think I will ever get over it. Oh well, its not a huge deal. I'll just make sure my room never has a mirror in it.

The dream began with my friends at some campground. It was around a ocean, and we needed to go to Walmart to get some food for dinner. We returned later and we decide to take a nap. I end up falling asleep and waking up in my loft.
Odd... I don't sleep in my loft. At least, not since I had my Exploding Head Syndrome incident. Too creepy.
I did a reality check and discovered I was dreaming. It was a very vivid dream. The only somewhat blurry area was the top of my view. Thats when I noticed something in front of me. A mirror. I was terrified.
In real life I become incredibly paranoid and imagine the worst possible thing that could happen. I expect someone behind me.
I quickly tried to fling it away, but it didn't work. I knew if I thought of the worst, it would happen. Suddenly the thought hit my head, "Is someone behind me?"
A face appeared behind me in the mirror. I checked and it wasn't there. I began to freak out. I didn't want to be lucid anymore. The mirror grew larger and my reflection walked towards me. It was getting larger. It then hit me, I would wake myself up somehow. I thought quickly, closed my eyes, and screamed as loud as I possibly could. The scream was the loudest thing I have ever heard. It almost hurt my ears even though it wasn't a real sound. I felt the pain.
I then woke up in my bed.

Sorta freaked me out about lucid dreaming. And overcoming this fear isn't simply, getting over it. Its a phobia. Its almost impossible to cure. Oh well, the lucid dreaming will go on I guess...

6/29/2011
I'm in some sort of underwater vehicle with others, exploring in the ocean. I remember something about a shipwreck or magic or some sort of danger.

I'm at an apartment complex. I'm discovering great music, and I don't understand the words. It's in Latin or something. I'm trying to weigh myself. I fiddle with the scale to try to get it to work. Someone comes in. I hide behind the shower curtain, using the mirror to make sure I'm hidden, but it's just A.

Some security guard types are mixing a vat of candy stuff with a pretzel stick. It's deadly? They're feeding it to the seniors. Old guy above my apartment climbs down a trapdoor to the first floor and sees people moving outside. He starts to figure out what's going on and throws a fit.

I'm in a rocket, flying dangerously. I land on a strange tiny moon. There is lots of greenery, but one section is wilted and black. It seems evil and scary. There is a path with sprinklers on one side. I attempt to walk past without getting wet and fail. The king/mother/god of all sprinklers is at the end. I get very wet.

I turn the corner. There is a very localized bit of rain. I walk through it, and something presses against me from both sides, scrubbing, cleaning. It's like a car wash. Next up is polishing. I manage to dodge past that.

Turning the next corner, I'm back in the apartment complex corridor. I go in and find the old guy and someone else lying on their backs on the floor. They won't wake up. I try to open their eyes. I'm panicking. Their eyes won't open.

After waking, I read a bit and then decided to attempt a WILD. I think I wrote the various bits down in the wrong order, but I've got no idea what the right order is.

Fragmented experiences with vivid imagery. I see rotating vistas. I experience sleep paralysis sensations, breaking through into dream without being able to move or having no body.

I'm walking around my old house wrapped in a blanket, but when I look in the hall mirror, I see a shady, indistinct figure wrapped in a blanket whose only distinguishable feature is two bright blue points of light for eyes.

I'm in a department store, but I'm incorporeal, apparently. No one can see or hear me. I decide to become a fantasy character named Simon. I draw my sword. Apparently, I'm not invisible anymore, as everyone is frightened, running and crying out. I put the sword away and walk outside the store. There is a girl with long, straight, blond hair.

I hear a female voice talking about my death, as if it would be an experiment (on the world). She wonders if I am ready for "suicide counseling."

I remember something about a cliff, falling, a brief glimpse of my grieving mother, and a scene taking place in a bathroom.

Dream
Right, I'm in a house and look like Elijah Wood the other guys is a grown man I would say 27 or 32 and he looks like Eddie Low from GTA 4. I say bye and leave out through th path it's a long path inbetween a nice garden and I as I reach the gate the guys mother tells me that she appreciates me coming over and that "I have to be her friend and do stuff with here forever", "He isn't the only one that's lonely." At that point I ran and became lucid I entered a Porsche 911 and drove down the lanes of the suburbs and what beautiful suburbs they were, tows and rows of nice houses against a sunny backdrop with trees.

I have never used the gear stick in a dream car and pushed it into fifth gear. I neared a corner and couldn't slow down in time and crashed into a car that was parked. I drove to Mos Eisely (I wanted to do one of my dream tasks but got sidetracked) there was an old school train and a film crew with an actress who was a cross over between Natalie Portman and Lisa Spoonhauer she was complaining about being cast into the Star Wars franchise and how no toher stars were.

Then I'm in a golf course running away from that guy from earlier. I ran through some trees and the dream ends there.

The most intense dream I have ever had. I'm losing it now. It was days, literally. School was ending and I was going to brmingham with Leo. I had to leave Kara behind and I was sad. I somehow realized it was a dream. Leo and Kara did too we just couldn't decide who's dream it was. Hours of conversation came through about who's dream it was. We knew each other but we didn't know how we knew each other. I knew and acted exactly how I did them them now. The thing about this lucid was that no matter how hard I tried I could not remember anything about my waking life or could wake up at all. I liked it a lot. The vividness was at the next level. At one point Kara and I saw the sun come out and we ran outside. It was beautiful. The sky was filled with colors I have never seen before. The sky was a magnificent painting. Even as I write this I feel different. Like I went through the most important journey of my life. This wasn't a normal lucid and I can't get over that. We tried so hard to remember waking life. Things would happen and we would laugh about who's dream it was. We all went to a club in a Vegas type setting. I left to the mall alone to walk around and think. It was 1 am and I wondered if I would ever wake up. I didn't care. I had Leo and Kara and that's all that mattered. Leo and I looked at each other and said we did it. I could see slight fear on his face. I had some fear too I don't know why. I would have thought I would be ecstatic. I day passed of us doing random things but they were so detailed so long. It's slipping me. I remember thoughts and feelings more. I remember thinking how detailed and long everything was and how beautiful and vivid it was. So much more than a lucid. It was a reality. A really good one. We had a time where the sun would go down. I didn't want it to. We all chanted and laughed as it slowly came up. It kept going down and we would chant it back up. There were sex scenes but those are slipping me now. I never slept I think. Kara and Leo did randomly. I just sat in thoughts. Trying to remember my old life. There were several walks alone. It seems as but a memory now but to me in the dream it was my life. I felt like I could come back to this life if I slept in the other dream but I couldn't sleep. Where I was was real and solid. When I was there this was fake. I will never forget this dream. Well I will and that's whats crazy about it.

False Awakening
I was in my bathroom having a bath and it was really hot. I went into the kitchen and I was still hot. When I woke up and realised that it was a dream, I felt so stupid.

Dream 1
There were four Homer Simpsons. There each appeared behind each other and fanned out. Then out of nowhere Ramenmen from Kinnikuman came and beat up all of them, they started wearing different suits but each had a black tie anyway they got banged by Ramenman.

Dream 2
I'm in a house that I've never seen before and the GSE from Green Street is there. My hot media teacher is there and I ask her if I can have a hug, she gives my one. I ask her if I could have a kiss, she gave me one on the cheek then I ask for one on the lips she said no but I did it anyway tongue halfway through my lips and all for 0.3 secs.

She got upset and left, then Pete Dunham (Charlie Hunnam) got angry and chased me as I looked for my teacher. Now I'm lucid (I don't know how I didn't RC or anything) I run out of the unfamilliar house and onto my street that must be where I gained lucidity. I see a guy and tell him to get in the car it was a 2006 BMW some of it was blue while the rest was brownish. I remembered my current dream task and tried to eavesdrop on a DC phone conversation, for some reason WWE wrestler Sheamus popped into my head. Not that it mattered cos all I got was static and jumbled rubbish in my earphone.

Strangley I drove on the left side instead of right anyway I drove to an area I know well it was over-run with foreingners (here me out!) The foreigners were led by Sheamus as I drove the car and got out I saw him and 2 others in hooded cloaks. He came up to me and I said "You did it, I can't stop now though" and left in the car that other guy disappeared.

I went to the Westfield center and continued to look for the teacher as well as run away from Dunham. I entered a shop and used a green lantern ring to make a motorbike I rode it really fast in the shopping center.

SCENE CHANGE

I'm parachuting down onto some snowy mountains, my voice sounds different and there is an enemy base located there. I land on top of the base and link up with a soldier,dream fades. I remember my officer saying "Once there you will have to link up with a squad".

Side Notes
WILDing is definitely for me. I also remember jumping over the escalators at the shopping center and doing a parkour roll while feeling the contact of the ground. I also remember flying at one point in the dream.

DREAM 1: I was in the living room with my sister. As she got married and left home, we were talking about our lives and stuff like this. [Here I dreamed something about Lois from Family Guy having sex with me while my sis was changing in the closet, but I don't quite remember it.]. After she left the house, the lights suddenly turned off. I heard some shamanic beats and started seeing shadows on the wall. It got even weirder when I tried to change the volume, but instead of a Volume text with lines below indicating how loud the TV is currently set, it showed me a red WTF? text underlined. I tried to call my mom and tell her about the lights as I was getting out of the house trying to figure out what the heck is happening in my house. I was so freaked out that I suddenly did an RC. When I saw I was actually dreaming, I threw my phone away and rushed to jump on the window. I didn't wanted to just fall down, as things like this destabilizes my dream. I focused on hovering in slow-mo to the ground. After I came down, there came my buddy with his girlfriend. Of course, after having sex with his girlfriend (What? It's a dream. Having sex with someone's girlfriend is normal there) I took the bus forward and backward. I thought that maybe if I go for a walk, the "evil spirits" of the house will go away. I came back and guess what? I saw a waitress in the kitchen and had a fight with her. She was throwing fruits at me, so I took a plate and used it as a shield. After one fruit crashed into her head, she got dizzy. I exploited this moment to throw her away on the window. The lights turned on and I lost my lucidity. I went into the living room and I saw some Dream Guides. They started showing me how to make a book slap in a dream to make the monsters go away. After a long explanation, they put me look on a text. It was written there "Beautiful book". They put me look again. I didn't understand why, but I did it. The adjective changed to "Bad". They put me look once again. It changed again to "Horrible". I then realised that they were trying to show me I dream. When I got that, they were proudly smiling at me.
DREAM 2: I and the peers from the high-school were visiting my elementary school. My old classroom was turned into a Chemical Laboratory. I showed them the classroom and I remembered that on 8th grade they put our class at basement. [I remember somebody was telling me to shut up and that I'm lying and something about my mom calling me and asking me if I want a shawarma. Nothing more]
DREAM 3: My mom gave me as a present the Dream Reader device (from the "Dream Reader" dream). I put it on my head and it started showing a skeleton. It was not only reading dreams. When I was thinking of something, it would put all my thoughts in the skull. Like, I was thinking of a truck and it was right there. While it was reading my thoughts, memories and dreams, I felt dizzy.

Contract (WILD)

★★★★☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Journeying downward, into the dark, the depths, from which there will be no return, I make haste in my flight.

Curved, snaking passageways, of naturally-hewn black rock, mark my ever descending path.

At the end, at the lowest reaches, a god awaits me. And he's thrilled to see me.

First, a test: a battle, versus a cloaked wraith.

I draw my sword from my side, and begin my assault, flashing steel hitting it's mark, but to no avail. I toss it aside, as the wraith strikes with its own blade.

Why do I bother with these anymore? I think to myself as the enemy's weapon strikes my flesh, and stops without making a scratch. It seems almost surprised.

I grab it from the ground at my side. I draw it, five feet long, my true sword, white sheath and ornate, dragon-like grip, given to me by a close friend, so many dreams ago.

My smile is demonic as I lash out, cutting through the wraith as if though it were nothing. Piercing and slashing, every cut is wonderfully perfect, joyfully precise. As I sever the wraith, bit by bit, the god is all but ecstatic.

But there's a problem.

Someone else is here.

“I'll take care of it,” I say, preparing to wipe the man in the shadows.

But the god responds harshly, forbidding me from using that ability in his presence.

Probably for the best, I think, darting to the spy, eviscerating him, and ripping my blade across his throat.

I switch to his perspective and watch myself stand there, powerful and absolute, long, beautiful blade in hand, the god just behind. I feel the warm blood erupt from his open neck, our neck, drenching us in a wet, red warmth. I solemnly experience his demise, fading as he does. . . slowly. . . painfully. . . without hope.

Specks of Light (DILD)

★★★☆☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Constant tracing.

Stuck between infinitely constraining parameters.

This is my dream.

Again.

And again.

And again I trace, searching for a way out, a way to break free, but there is none. I'm confined within myself, and I WON'T FUCKING HAVE IT!

I call death upon my constraints, little points of light, wiped out of existence, one by one until only a void remains in my rampage. But soon it's filled, as millions upon millions of shimmering lights are drawn around me.

I could do it; wipe them all out in a single swipe. . . but what are they? Why did wiping those other specks tear at me the way it did?

I'll stop. . .

For now.

Enter: The Messenger (DILD)

★★★★☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

There's someone outside, roving the grounds of the ancient place of worship. Meeting them in a field, patchy grass, yellow and green, I demand to know them.

“Oh, just a god,” he says, nonchalantly.

Oh, how rich, I think as I laugh a long maniacal laugh, the likes of which chills even my bones.

“A god, you say?” I can't help smirking.

“Yes, god of messages. Zeus' personal messenger, as it would so happen to be.”

“Ha. Right,” I say, lifting off the ground, preparing for what I believe will be an easy fight. “You won't mind proving it to me, then.”

He smiles as he draws a blade of energy from his side. I match his with my own, switching to my Energy Sword with a press of a button.

SKWISH!

We clash.

SKWISH!

And again.

No one is gaining ground, so I toss my blade aside and draw out a Katana from it's place at my side. His sword transforms into a rapier, much to his surprise. And much to my surprise, he's more than adept with it, skewering my stomach in due haste, my Katana unable to even scratch him.

FWI---

I try to start up a volley of teleportation assisted attacks, but. . . I can't. All I see after each attempt, instead of a vulnerable back, is his smiling figure, all too ready for me.

Screw it. I toss my sword aside.

“Bankai!”

My energy surfaces and bursts from my body in a blue flaming jet. He's still smiling. The bastard.

Even as I twist and contort his body, tearing into his throat, he grins, unaffected.

And in a moment, I'm distracted. There's some monsters nearby that need taking care of. . .
______________

You shouldn't do that. I hear him in my head.

Screw you.

With a wave of my hand I release all the lock, the controls, sending this bus of a plane down a long and bumpy road, crashing it, stranding the passengers.

That's it. I'm done with this. I'm going to kill him.

Making my way to the main compartment, I'm bombarded with insults and complaints from the passengers. I ignore them the best I can, searching for that damned messenger, who was here moments before.

The insults continue, so I shut up everyone in the room with a wave, zip, and press of my fingers, binding their mouths shut with a few well placed Ats. Except for one girl who somehow remains free from my control.

I'm gonna get it, she tells me. I'm gonna be in for a world of trouble when that messenger from Hades gets back, she insists.

“What? What do you mean, Hades?”

But she won't answer my inquiry as she continues to shout at me.

“SHUT UP!”

She won't.

My alarm wakes me.

2 interesting memories of this weekends dreams. firstly i got lucid in my most recurring park/festival dream. i was with russ and bruce and just had a sudden realisation. i was in the park and we were facing a cliff. i stabilised by clapping and prepared myself to learn something as we approached a group of people on the edge of this cliff. this is a good sign because sometimes i will turn away or be overwhelmed when it feels like im about to learn something. anyway dont remember much else from that dream.

last night i woke up then managed to go straight back into a lucid. i just imagined myself flying, pulling myself through the air and out of my body. suddenly i found myself floating above the gardens of my local town centre. it was real as this is now and some lads were joking with me saying i would have to fly higher than that to be able to escape. escape what i dont know but i just had a little banter with them then it fades. so great to have that repreated reminder that literally all you have to do to have a full on wild is to just focus on doing something in a dream while forgetting about your physical body

Date: ?? -Zombie Invasion- Semi -Lucid

-End Of Dream-

Not such great recall last night, not much time to write about it, either

1) I was in a dystopia where the people weren't zombies, but pretty quickly became the living equivalent. I was lost and unable to make it to work or anything that I'd normally do in a day. At last I reality checked and became lucid, but I had so many false memories and such a bad environment that I didn't even attempt to simply recover the dream and turn it into something good. Instead I went inside a house, climbed up to the highest window, stepped out on the ledge, and then used my mind to shut the window on my heels, thus knocking me off to my death below, and effectively waking me up.

At least I can mark another LD on my sig from that!

Last night I had exceptionally better dream recall than before, for numerous reasons. I was not drunk and high when i went to bed... I went to bed around 12:30 and i drank apple juice 2-3 hours before bed. I also woke up 4 hours into my sleep for the WBTB technique.

1
I started out my dream lucid but i quickly lost it without doing any dream control into the dream because i could not do anything without almost waking up due to the excitement. I soon forgot I was in a dream, but this is good progress. I woke up in denver and I was in what seemed like a medieval village except i knew i was in denver colorado. I soon saw my family and at one part of the dream we were in what seemed like a big beach store with staircases all over the place. I kept telling my mom i needed to either start driving or take a plane home tonight because i had work at 11:30 tomorrow. I dont remember much else from this dream

2
This might be a continuation of the previous dream or another dream altogether, but i was still worried about getting to work at 11:30. I was with my dad and we were driving to his house, and there was a long drive and i dont remember much of what happened but we got to this nature place and started to walk along this path, which in the dream world you take this long path through the woods to get to my dads house, no path in real life. Then we decided to drive somewhere else because my dad can not walk that far and got to this random house, which i faintly remember was my old friends house. But then we decided to leave to my dads beach house (this is how i know im dreaming a lot of times in my dreams my dad has a beach house, he doesn't have a beach house in real life) but I did not realize i was in a dream. I woke up shortly after this.
