lucid

Notice that the brown texts are for indicating when someone else's dream is occurrin. It's a very rare event, but I'm gonna write it in the dream legend right next to the dream, so there's not gonna cause any confusion.

DREAM 1: It was like 4:00 AM. My sister came into the house after she bought a dream reader device. She was going to give it to my mom as a present for her birthday. Anyways, the device had some kind of an arm with a sucker on it. You were supposed to put it on your head so it can read you your dreams. It was reading dreams from the most recent to the oldest ones. We agreed to test it on my sister. After we "plugged" the device into my sister's head, it started showing in the monitor her very last dream. My sister headed into the living room. Our mom was there. As she was starring at my sister with a look of an insane person, she started shouting "CATS! CATS! CATS CATS! CATS CATS!!!" while a weird music began (a song kind of like the castle song from Super Mario World). She moved along and from the left side, a random raven appeared and flew all over the room. It was kind of funny. Everybody was laughing. My bud was there too. It would had been a shame for me to miss the occasion to read his dream. He dreamed of an FPS game. He was a robot and was trying to escape from the cops that were chasing him. After all this, I wanted to test the device on myself too, but my sister wouldn't let me. She said that I would just overload the device. I realised that it was a dream when the device suddenly turned into a notebook. I tried to turn it back, but it didn't worked and the dream faded away.
DREAM 2: Suddenly I found myself in a battlefield. I was a robot army leader. The leader of all armies put us all to construct a building that would protect all the robots from the enemy armies. I made a mistake in the contruction. I didn't knew how to repair it. I tried to find out, but I was making the building look even worse. I asked my friend and he told me to press the "Windows" button 2 times. I then realised that I was actually playing a game.

Had another lucid dream out of the blue last night, due largely to the fact that I noticed a dream sign:

I'm walking with my wife along a sidewalk. I'm not sure where we're headed but she's leading the way. We come to a chain link fence and suddenly she is on the other side of it and I ask her, "How did you get over there?" Looking at the fence, the only way I see over is to climb it, so I do. When I get to the top, I see the fence is right next to what looks like a souvenier shop or convenience store. But it's strange because the store has a chain link (or chicken wire) roof and I can see down into the store as I'm crawling over it. I'm going slowly, as my weight is causing the wire to sag down onto the items that are on the top shelf. I wait for my wife to cross over to where the cash registers are so that it won't have both our weight on it at the same time. We finally climb down and walk out the door.

We're walking toward my truck when I see my son, my Mom, my Dad, my brother & his wife getting out of a car and walking towards us. I tell my wife, "That can't be Justin; he's halfway around the world. And Grandpa (my Dad) is dead. This must be a dream!" I become lucid and do a reality check by pinching my nose closed and trying to breath and I can. So I do it again, just to make sure. Then I remember some stuff I read about studying all the little details around you, so I do stuff like look at the ground and feel the fabric on my shirt. Then I look at my hands and there are fingers missing; I only have, like, two or three fingers on my right hand. So I turn to my son and say, "This is a dream. Look at your hands." He looks at his hands and lets out a little laugh. I say, "You're missing some fingers, aren't you?" and he nods his head. We all walk over to this house and some more people (relatives) are sitting out on the front porch. I tell everyone, "This is what's cool about dreams...you can do stuff like this," and proceed to cup my hands together in a ball but not quite together, and move them back and forth. I'm trying to conjure up a fireball but all I get is this faint blue plasma looking orb. So I concentrate harder to create a ball of flame and the blue color turns to yellow with a small flame springing to life for a few seconds. I try to hurl it forward, like the superheros do in the movies, but it only travels a few feet before sputtering out. Then a cousin of mine says something like, "Uncle Vance died tomorrow." So I ask her, "Do you mean tomrrow? Or do you mean yesterday?" After that I woke up.

I was talking with a guy who seemed as though he wanted to teach me, but I knew for a fact that it was only evil shit, and the first step of the training he wanted to give, was for me to loose all of my goodness. He told me he would give me a night to make my decision, a night of all the things I could have, all the powers and whatnot.

He nodded his head and did something with his hands, but I didn't feel any different. I said it was all a trick, but he told me to light him on fire. Without having to think about it, I raised my hands to become blue-green flames and threw fire onto the guy, engulfing him, but he didn't scream, he just smilied at me. I thought it was bad ass, and when he wiped the fire off him as if it were dirt or something, I threw the fire on him again, laughing.

I roamed around this camp site that had a house in the middle of it, but the place was awesome as hell. It was just getting dark at that moment, and the sundown looked like a flame flickering out. I saw a lot of people, who seemed like they wanted me to join them in their fun, but then I heard this weird ass voice coming from one of the rooms in the house.

I walked into the house and saw my girlfriend in one of the rooms, she was wanting me to be with her, but I told her to give me a minute. I walked into the room that I heard the noise in and it was completely empty. I looked around, it was like a burnt red color with black floor and ceiling. I saw a bed, and saw a shoe under it. When I reached down for the shoe, a hand with sharp nails came out and swiped at me like a cat.

I backed away and waited a second before getting back down for the shoe, ready for the hand again. When the hand swiped at me again, I grabbed the wrist and pulled out one wicked hot chick. She was pale skinned with black hair, icy green eyes, and one hell of a body. She seduced me, though it wasn't exactly hard for her to do. Not going into detail about what happened at this point, but the guy who gave me the powers was watching from an outside window.

I woke up spooning with her as the sun was coming up, I didn't mind that I had wasted the use of powers with being with her, but she told me without the powers, I'd never see her again. I asked what she meant, but then she dissappeared in my arms.

I went to the room where I had left my blonde girlfriend (in the dream world she was) and I saw her with five black rappers, I stood there in shock, and she was jacking one of the guys off, smiling at me and asked if I wanted to join. I told her to fuck off, but then I actually thought about joining in. Instead LL Cool J tried to get me undressed, smiling and doing that licking lips thing he does, and I punched him so hard that his face exploded.

None of the other rappers seemed to care, neither did the blonde bitch.

I dreamed that I was Juice from Sons of Anarchy, and I was speeding on my bike, going very fast and more or less flying on the bike across the road. I felt the speed in my stomach like it was real. Toward the end of the road, he was caught off guard and taken down, at this point, I was an onlooker, but he survived the crash. He told me that he was fine, and blamed the two prospects that were with us. Each prospect apologized by giving him an artifact or something, something that looked Native American, and he took them and put them in his pocket, and showed me that what has kept him alive was a particular artifact. It was again Native American, and looked like a really big arrowhead, but it was white like ivory and had gold edges and gold flowing through the artifact.

Right after being Juice, I was Jax from Sons of Anarchy, and I was talking with Clay about a test I was going to have to go through. We were all in a trailer type house, and I called him Dad, and he looked at me funny at first, but then smiled. Inside he told me that the test was one of the hardest tests he had ever had to take, and then mentioned a guy named something Baggs. Like he was the test giver. Clay mentioned a party and mentioned that one sure fire way to pass the test was to invite the guy. I left the house as Jax, and got into a seventies model car (red) and started it up and took off.

As I was driving down the streets I kept speeding up, until I was going very fast. But it was like I didn’t know how to control the car, and I ended up driving on the sidewalk when I got into town, and then I was pulled over. I tried to slow down and adjust my driving. It took a while for me to stop, and when I did, there was the cop behind me, one beside me, one in front of me, and a helicopter flying overhead. I remembered thinking that this was a hell of a lot for simple speeding.

The cop that issued the ticket was the guy I was looking for, something Baggs. He didn’t care who I was, and was ready to write the ticket and impound the car, and possibly take me to jail. I tried explaining that I just wasn’t used to driving a car.
He asked what I was planning on doing that night, and I told him there was a party, and that I was looking for him to bring him along. He seemed shocked, but happy about it. I mentioned there’d be a lot of booze and a lot of horny bitches. He then tore up the ticket and followed me to the party.

At the party, it seemed as though I became Clay from Sons of Anarchy, and was watching Jax and the Baggs guy walking around the large amount of women and enjoying the party. I was watching more like a stalker though, as if I needed to take something away from the party. Then Gemma came up, said something (she was pissed) and then walked off. I was pissed that she was walking away from me, and wanted her to stay. Then a mess formed on the kitchen floor and I told one of the prospects, who saw the whole thing, to pick it the fuck up.

Dreamed that I was in a place that I didn’t recognize for shit. It was almost like it was a bowling alley. It’s really hard to describe. There were two women there, both seemed to like me, neither one of them blondes, or redheads (these are my dream signs with women), both were brunettes. One was a little on the cubby side, but she was really cute. The other one was just hot as hell from what I can remember. It seemed as though everyone around the place was there for me. Like I was a celebrity or something. At one point, I was in front of the entire crowd, and someone mentioned for me to take my pants off. I did, and my brother was there laughing his ass off at me. I mooned the crowd and smacked my ass.

Later in the dream, I told the chubby woman that I was tired, and she took me down into like a small type basement or something. But when I went down there, it was all sketchy, like the floor had a bottomless hole in the middle of it, and I was having to walk on thin boards to get across. She was very worried about me, and wanted to take care of me, and didn’t want me to fall or anything. I remember feeling as though I was drunk, but I told her it was my vertigo. It was bad. At one point I more or less hopped across the gap, and I think she caught me and held on to me.

This is a really old dream of mine, but it was more or less the first lucid dream I ever had.

I woke up from my bed (when I still slept in one) and stretched, scratched my ass, and opened my door. For some reason, I didn't walk down the hallway, but instead I just looked down it. Everything looked exactly how it was in real life. But as I lifted my foot to step forward, a large explosion went off. I closed my eyes from the brightness of the blast and felt the hot wind of it blow against me.

When I opened my eyes the floor of the hallway was gone entirely and it became a wooden bridge, which looked like something out of a trippy movie and was rickity as hell. The walls were missing as well, even though the ceiling was still there. On the left side, the wall became nothing but flames, which seemed to reach out to me and burn at my skin. The right side became nothing but clouds, as if I were looking at them from the level of the clouds, and it felt nice and calm.

I stared into the flames as if I were drawn to them, and then glanced at the clouds feeling calm. I reached out to the flames and felt them burn my hand. I then reached out to the clouds and felt their coolness. I walked out onto the bridge, which surprisingly held my weight, and faced the clouds. The flames burned my back, but before I could jump, which I wanted to do, I woke up.

I was on the streets with these two chicks, and one random guy. The girls seemed to know me, but the guy seemed like he was just there and was wanting to show off the way a lot of guys do around hot women. One of the women said "I bet I can guess with one word what each tattoo of yours represents." I told her to go for it. She started listing them off, since I have thirteen tattoos, I'll leave out all that she said since it took a while.

When I told her she was wrong on all of them, the other girl said she wanted to try, so I told her to go for it. Again she was way off, and seemed like she was just wanting to touch me instead of guess my tattoos. But I was more than fine with that.

The guy butted in, which already pissed me off, but then he went straight for my question mark tattoo, which takes up half my rear forearm, and said "well this guy was a fucking idiot anyways." And before he could say anything else, I put him in a headlock, took him to the ground face first and started slamming his face into the street until there was nothing left of his face.

Afterward, I stood up, walked up to the two women, who looked humored instead of shocked, and I showed them each of my tattoos and told them with one word what each of them actually means.

Dream 1

I am in a room and in the room are 2 of my husbands, i didnt realise there shouldn't be 2 of him. The one lying on the settee to my right asked me to get him a beer, then the one to my left asked me aswell ((dream skip)) I am holding the beers, i give 1 to the kev on my right then sort of glide over to the kev on my left and give him his beer, i could hear the beer fizzing, it was really loud!!

Dream 2

I am lying in my bed, i'm in that half asleep half awake stage, i decide to keep still and WILD, i hear the noise of SP coming and feel the vibrations really strongly, i think "ok go with it" I feel myself falling and say to myself "i'm dreaming" I land on my bed with a bang. I can feel something behind me, and i know it's that nasty "presence" pretending to be my hubby ((i always get this in any WILD)) I know that if i try to get up it will grab me and i dont like that, anyway being sure that i'm dreaming I do the nose pinch test and i cant breathe through my nose, i try again as i know i'm dreaming and this time it works ((stupid WILD's lol)) I now decide i have to get out of bed but i have to stop my hubby from grabbing me like he always does so i think "i know i'll trick him and make him think i'm coming back" I say "i'm just going to get a drink" i then gently get out of bed and stand up, i'm now facing the window and i'm thinking "haha, i bloody tricked him and it worked" lol I decide to do another check which i have never tried before just out of curiosity so i try to push my finger through my hand and nothing..it doesnt work for me and im wondering why, o look out of the window and my sight is still a little fuzzy, i decide i musnt have a stable enough dream. I rub my hands together and say "clarity now" it clears a little but not much and i decide its not going to get much better than this. I decide to try and fly out of rhe window but as i jump a little i just slowly come back down to the floor. I realise that this is going to be one of those dreams which i cant do bugger all but am fully lucid haha, doesnt happen often they are really good usually but at times when this happens i decide to just have a ponder around the house. I walk out of my bedroom and im on the landing, i can hear the boiler on ((but not on in real life)) i flick the light to turn it on and it flashes but then goes off again and i hear the boiler die, now i decide to walk into the bathroom and i instinctivley pill the cord and am shocked when the light comes on and stays on..lights never work in my dreams..never ever!! I sit on the loo and start giggling at how the things that usually work wont work but the things that never work are working, my lucid is all back to front lmao!!! I decide that theres not much point staying lucid if i cant do anything so I shut my eyes and think of myself lying on my bed and i wake up in bed after a hard landing, still chuchkling about it all being back to front lol

I am standing in a room and I realise I am dreaming, I think " cool, Ill meet Joel" ((a singer from a group called Roomie on youtube lol)) I look at my clothes and they are a bit scruffy, I then see Joel's picture on a newspaper that some bloke is reading and I say to the bloke "I'm going to meet him" I grab my sleeves and try to rip them off but I can't I then think "it's a dream of course I can rip them off if I want to" then just like magic I rip them off very easily. I changed my skirt by pointing at it but I then had a longer black skirt on underneath so I decided to just play it easy and take it off by hand ((lol)) joel then walks through the doorway and i think "ummm...yummy yummy I got him" lmao....we both went into another room and I was at my mom and dads house, it was different to how it is in real life. I looked for joel but he had gone. I can see my mom, I go up to her and say "i'm dreaming, this is all just a dream" my mom is looking a little red faced and stressed out. I could feel spirits following me and thought "I'll have to see what they want, ill have to speak with them. I stayed with my mom for a short while and then i went close up to her ear and whispered "it's a dream" it echoed and she moved away from me, i said "was that too loud?" she didnt answer mem i now say to her "i have to go upstairs now to see my nan and grandad futrill" ((im thinking they will be there now because i have thought they will be)) I want to speak with them while I am dreaming. I begin to walk upstairs , i enter the doors which lead around the upstairs, i then enter the last one which lead me into the kitchen downstairs, i think "typical dream, it's leading me all the way round!" I shut the door and think "it's quite cool how my imagination can build all this" I reach out and touch things to stabilise my dream. I come to a room and see my dad in there he is sitting on a chair and is worrying, he says "i need to know where he has gone" I go up to him and say "dad it's just a dream, calm down!", he begins to worry more and starts crying so i try to calm him down. I am still just going with the flow of my dream, I visit different rooms and places and all the time i'm lucid. I'm just enjoying looking around my dream world while i'm absorbing every detail )

I was playing prototype last night and found the thread GILD - Game Induced Lucid Dream [Experimental].
I decided to give this technique a chanse.

So the last thing i did before going to bed was playing Prototype, Did a couple of RC's every 15-25 minutes. I then went to bed and i almost fell into sleep instantly. No luck this far. My alarm goes at around 05.30, i get up from bed and turn my computer on, played Prototype again for like 45-50 minutes and then closed to attempt a WILD through WBTB. Once again while at bed i daydream that im still playing.

I then enter Sleep Paralyze, While in SP i remember these lines in my head "Do a RC asap" so i did the finger through palm and nose-plug RC as soon as i realised i was soaring through the sky and jumping on buildings. Then i tell myself "I am now lucid" so i start rubbing my hands to stabilize my dream. I then False awakens. Fortunantly i hadn't forgot about doing some more RC's. I then once again find myself successfull in an attempt to WILD. I went outside and jumped up to the moon. The moon looked like the one in Zelda - Majoras Mask. I gave it a smile (looked hilarious) and jumped back to earth, then i lost my lucidity and were unable to remember everything after that.

Not only was this my first (long) lucid dream since joining but it was also my first true WILD . It was around 11:00 and I was finishing that days "waking journal". Before I finished writing I became very tired and decided to just close my eyes. Within seconds I saw a visual hypnagogic hallucination of an alley, I held still and the scene expanded until it engulfed me. I didn't notice it until I was fully immersed but everything was in 8-bit animation. I started sprinting and when I stopped everything had turned into 16-bit. When I started and stopped running a second time everything was normal, at least visually. I decided it would be fun to jump into the clouds and bounce around on them. I jumped as hard as I could (there isn't much that compares to the feeling of jumping a mile in the air) but when I landed in them they were made of glass and were very uncomfortable. There are other bits and pieces of the dream but they keep drifting away as soon as I remember them.

Non-dream | Dream | Becoming aware

For the first time in a few months, I've tried lucid dreaming, using Puffin's DILD tutorial. And it worked! I had a lucid dream the very first time I tried this technique. Haven't had one for a long time.

Furthermore I recalled four dreams. Wow!

I'm looking through the window of an apartment; not mine. I see a crossroads, which is about one block down my real house. I see two buses: one is the bus from the line 21 and the other was 15. On the 21 bus, my friends are standing at the top of the roof and they're partying like mad. A few seconds later, I'm inside the 15 bus with some friends and we're going to the pharmacy one block above. We must somehow secure it. The dream then fades away.

I'm spawning in a little village through a teleporter. There's a house near me and one person outside. I'm with a friend. The landscape is quite MMORPG-alike, so there's a small road passing through a grass field. So we start walking down the road and there's an old sorcerer who starts talking to us, she's giving us a quest or something like that. We continue on and we get killed by two dragons (I could see name tags below them... just as in Guild Wars) and their troops. We respawn at the village and I'm with my brother. We see a plane doing aerobatics on the other side of the village. It then comes to our side, and all of a sudden night appears. The plane crashes down my feet... but in water! And I'm falling down as well in the water. It can "surf" on water. By the time day has appeared, we've retaken the road and we get to an alley. Transition to the second part of this dream!

So we walk down this alley. It's leading us to a luxurious 17th or 18th century hotel, high of a few storeys. There's the hotel courtyard just in front of it, about the size of my small high-school courtyard IRL. Suddendly, all my friends appear as well as a homeless and jobless dude. He's drinking some wine. Anyway, I'm now sitting with my friends on the benches. The sorcerer comes back and gives us a potion for the homeless guy. She says: "Give him this to drink! It'll make him get a job!" So one of my friends pours almost all the potion in the dude's wine glass, who's thoroughly enjoying it, and I tell him to stop. "Come on, I've only poured five drops..." he says. Another friend confirms this. And the dream ends here.

The interesting part now!

I'm a school with a blonde, small guy friend I'd never seen before. Now I'm recalling the dream, he looks like a mix of two friends who left the school a few years back. We laugh at some girls and walk our way to the exit of the school for lunch time. At the door of the school, he says he's gonna wait for someone, so I leave him and I get out. I turn left, and then there's a fly annoying me. So, weirdly, I'm starting to rap terribly against it... A few steps away from my house, I look down. I'm wearing a sports jacket and Adidas white shorts. I never dress up like that. I enter in my apartment and I see that the caretaker is now a Pakistanese-looking guy. I suddendly stop and ask myself: "Am I dreaming?" I pinch my nose and feel my breath flowing normally. I'm dreaming! So I look at my surroundings and try NOT to think about me in my bed. Unfortunately I'm so excited I wake up.

Could have been better but hey! Still happy I was lucid the first time I was trying for months, and I recalled a lot of dreams. I had already been lucid but there's always the same problem: excitement. I'll try to control myself next time.

I was in a gas station, being held prisoner in handcuffs and the orange jumpsuit. Inside the gas station were people I work with and the guys who were supposed to be watching over me were friendly. I was looking outside the window and a giant ass falcon flew in and landed on a pallet of 2-liter Pepsi bottles. I just stared at it, and it stared back at me. I walked up to one of the guys that was supposed to be watching me and asked if he could take the cuffs off, he said "yeah, it's not like you'll be going anywhere anyways."

Once the cuffs were off, I somehow got into my normal attire. I walked back to the window and the falcon was still there, like it was waiting for me to come back. Once I did, I stared at it again and just wanted to be outside with it, to touch it, to fly with it, just anything as long as it was with that falcon. It started pecking at the Pepsi bottles, making them spray on the windows. I stepped back a little, but then I started laughing because it was like he was playing a game or showing off for me.

I ran up to one of the guys that was supposed to be watching me again, and said "dude come check this shit out, this falcon is awesome." But the guy told me more or less to piss off since he was talking to a woman. Before I could go back to the falcon, a woman that I work with grabbed my hand and pulled me to her. She whispered in my ear "I can't believe he's talking to her, her breath smells like rotten shit and she has a weird build." I looked to the woman, thinking she looked fine, but to get away from the woman I told her "all us men need is something to stick it in and get off". She frowned and let go of me pretty quickly.

I went back to the falcon and saw that it had somehow filled up a child's swimming pool with the Pepsi and was laying back in it the way a human would sprawl out in one. But the Pepsi had turned white. It scooped the Pepsi up with its wings the way a human would with their hands, and poured the Pepsi on itself starting from the head and let it wash down its body. When the Pepsi hit the birds feathers, it started changing different colors of bright blues, greens, purples and yellows, and as it washed back into the pool, it created a rainbow effect of ripples.

All I knew was that I wanted to escape, but I felt like if I did, I'd be killed or something. So I just stayed, but then country music started playing, and I thought "all right fuck it, death would be fine right about now" and I started to take off for the door. But the same woman that had grabbed me before, grabbed me again and pulled me toward a dance floor that had appeared in the center of the gas station, and I was then thrown into the center of the stage where I bumped into a redneck tranny, or at least a cross dresser since I didn't want to find out, and I was forced to dance with him.

The whole time, I kept looking towards the door, and finally when the song ended, I took off for it, but never made it. I don't know if I was shot, or what, but either way, it was just bright lights and then I woke up.

So I figured it's 11 am, perfect time to lay back down and re-try to enter a LD state. After the weird ones i Had earlier today... what the hell.

Laid down, shut my eyes and nothing happened for a while. Then I found myself standing in the middle of what I assumed was "my room" and couldn't remember getting up. So I remember thinking, "I'm dreaming" do something, jump! I did but didn't float. So I said fuck it and just threw myself into the air like superman and it worked.

I thought I was in my own house (I wasn't) so I jumped up into the air again and tried to float through the floors but it didn't work. I think I woke myself back up at that point and fell right back asleep remembering I was dreaming still...

I was so happy that I realized it was a false awakening that I woke myself up.

But I fell back asleep and it happened again. I didn't realize I was sleeping, I tested it and again I was dreaming.

I kept waking myself back up for real and that got more confusing.

I know I was awake at one point and I convinced myself I was actually still dreaming... and it worked. (I could feel my body in bed and knew I was actually awake but I just pushed through it and made myself fall back asleep).

This time I was so happy I managed to get up, run out of the room, unlock the door to the house and go out into the street where there was lots of people and families walking around.

It was a neighborhood (not mine) and I have no idea who's house I had woken up in...

I remember walking around and trying to go to someone else's house and go inside. I got very excited and the dream started to fade so I reminded myself to spin. Spin spin spin.... I think I started it too late because next thing I know I could feel my body in bed and I was thinking spin spin spin.... It was a fight between the two states of LD and awake in bed... I think it almost worked but in the end I woke up.

So I will take this as another victory. Even though my LD's are still very short periods of time today I feel like I actually did work and learned some things.

Earlier today I spent time in my LD's dealing with controlling them and keeping them going.

Just now I feel like I learned how to identify false awakenings better. It also made me realize I have a hell of a lot more false awakenings then I think I do.
