lucid

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.

Last night I went to bed early and did a muscle relaxation technique. I then closed my eyes, put in ear plugs and tried to concentrate on the visuals.

I got some tingling sensations but after an hour or more nothing happened.

I flipped onto my side and went to sleep.

My alarm went off at 4 am so I tried again... but nothing happened and I drifted off to sleep.

Sent my kid off to school at 7 am, propped an extra pillow behind my head and started again. This is typically when I start to LD anyway.

Like the day before I drifted in and out. Overall I had several LDs but they were quite different than before.

They all started off as normal dreams and I wake up into them. The first one was the longest and it took me a while to realize I was dreaming. But once I did I immediately started to work on controlling it.

The LD was not as "intense and vivid" as the long one I had four days ago. But I had total control. The first one was about my extended family. I am quite sure that this was because one of my aunts made a comment on my facebook page and I read it before bed.

It took place in the bedroom I grew up in as a kid. Eventually I realized I was dreaming. I stayed in the room and experimented with different things. I remember doing something really odd like taking my hand and stretching it across the room. I don't recall much else at this point other than I had total control.

I had several small LDs after that. I would wake up and fall right back asleep. I remember some of them were sexual in nature.

The last one I can recall took place in a hallway. I remember saying I was looking for a "red head" and a bunch of people came running down the hallway and one girl came up to me and said something like "here I am".

The odd thing was she really didn't have red hair, it was more strawberry blonde. But I pulled her aside and focused on her and she became a red head. I remember once again having sex after that.

So this makes four LD night / days in a row. While none of the past three have matched how intense and real the first one was days ago, they were all different than in the past.

This latest one was by far the oddest and most interesting as it seemed like I was taking advantage of he time and honing my skills in getting control over the dream world. Like a sandbox version of a game I sat and played and experimented.

I would like to now combine the two and try to have a really deep LD with control that goes on for a while.

I think I am trying a combination of different techniques at night before I fall asleep and they are not working. I may also be attempting to have an OOB experience. I really need to learn the different techniques and the difference between the two and how to attain them.

SP hit fast and felt like a backwards free fall. I think I was ready for it just because I had so many episodes recently.

When I open my eyes, I'm in my room. Everything is blurry like my generic "I haven't done this in a while" type dreams. It's even hard to move, but after a few moments, crystal clear and I'm right out of my bed. The first thing that comes out of my mouth is "Kaomea". I leave my room, round the corner, and I see a girl in the shower. She's wearing shorts and and a tank top, and has curly long black hair. I said "Kaomea?", and she nodded. I quickly walked out of the way (to let her regain what little privacy she had) and waited for her to leave my bathroom.

When she came out, I let out a sigh of relief, and told her "it's about time". We headed outside, and I told her about my Poseidon dream. Some other girl I didn't recognize came up to her, and said that they had to leave. Kaomea told me she had to go....I think it had something to do with seeing other people in their dreams. I thought it was kinda abrupt, but whatever.

I tried creating a portal so I could venture off somewhere and she came to watch me and cheer me on, but after about three attempts, I decided to do something different. I grabbed on to a piece of grass, and pulled on it. This in turn revealed that it was a trap door. I jumped down it, but instead of it being a portal, it lead me through this tiny access way. I emerged back in front of my house, and my brother came out, and started telling me something about how I broke his lawnmower. I didn't know what he was talking about, but my lucidity had faded. And I didn't know wtf was going on.

i remember being somewhere and walking and i saw i were in cyprus in a football field and playing football then i got into lucid and walked then and iwas excited cus i was in cyprus xd.

so then i walked away and i had kind of bicycle and i had 1 friend with me and he told me what we do etc.. i tell him its a dream lets go to club and have some fun,, somehow we went to restaurant lol and then i woke up.


k

Thursday:
I was on a boat (a Cruise ship). I was in a room with bunkbeds.I had just removed my shoes and put them underneath a desk in the room. A person I know just came into the room and sits down on the bottom bunk. But at that moment the ship started swaying VERY badly..but the strange thing is--it was sunny outside. Then the dream scene shifted to the same person &I racing down a terminal to a plane (I have no shoes on). We just manged to catch the plane and go to our seats. When the plane was on the runway..two mice who look like Gus and Jaq, are racing down the runway and Gus just is able to get to the wheel before it takes off. The plane went kind of wonky.. and the camera showed me that..there was no piolit or co-pilot in the cockpit. So I rushed into the cockpit and flew the plane..straight into a hangar. (the only thing I'm sure off is the shoes&desk is a metaphor about me spending to much time at a computer and not enough time outside)


Friday:
I was in a mansion, in a room which was all white..it had 4 pianos. Each one had a different "sound" to it. One on the far left, sounded like it hadn't been tuned for awhile. Well the one on the oppiste side was a bit too loud. I was playing the former piano and I notice a ghost coming towards me. It looked like however she had died she died in her bedroom. When she got close enough I saw her have RED eyes.

Saturday:
i was on a subway with mom. We were at the stop she want us to get off at. Somehow I lost her and had to walk through the entire subway train to get off. Two women, looking like two people I knew helped me get off the subway and up an eslcator. Before we got outside, we passed a shoe store with a moral of princesses (not Disney). One side of the store had shoes outside of it and the plaque above it said "Peggy's shoes". I did find mom eventually.
