lucid

Lucid Dream:

I remember being somewhat lucid and "falling" though the streets. It was like I was flying to get somewhere, but I wasn't going fast enough, so I let myself fall. I have never tried that before. It was wonderful. It had all the sensations of falling down, but in this case I was falling horizontally. I tried to catch and remember all the street names as I zoomed by. The only ones I remember were "Compost St" and "Mire St". Odd names, but I'm glad I remembered at least two.

I feel like this dream was a breakthrough for me. Maybe this "falling" concept is what I need to fly faster. I'm really good at falling. And I enjoy it so much. So why not fall forward instead of down?

I was sitting in the back row of my current Enlgish teachers classroom. All of the people who are in my class were turned, facing forward and completely quiet, though my teacher wasn't in the classroom. I was sitting sideways in my seat, and the boy I liked came in the room. He came to the back of the room and went to the teachers desk and leaned over it. He pulled out a knife and began cutting himself, and at a point he said my name and I looked up. He smiled, looking in my eyes, and cut his knuckle with the knife. My eyes went wide and I started shaking. I wrapped my arms around myself. He wiped his blood off on his jacket and gave me it. (I guess he thought I was cold?) He also dropped the knife he was using on top of the jacket. Then he turned and started walking toward the front of the classroom. I slipped his knife in my pocket, vowing to keep him from doing it anymore. I held his jacket, and turned the right way in my desk, staring at it.
He must have sensed something was wrong, because he turned around and crouched down behind my desk and asked me if I was okay. I said "no", and motioned towards his wrist, wishing he wouldn't have hurt himself. He showed it to me, and the cuts were just scars. That hit me as wrong, and I turned to face him, confused. I stared down at my shoes, still confused, and noticed they were a very old pair of shoes. I thought, "I wish I had my Converse on." and then they were my Converse. The guy I liked was staring at my shoes too, apparently, because he said, "Your shoes just magically changed.."
That was when I realized I was controlling my dream, and I just said, "Yeah. That was weird." And he nodded.
There was more to it, but I've forgotten it.

5/11/11 -Insidious inspried OBE/Lucid dream

So I was watching Insidious( a good movie if you like horror/thriller) last night and it inspired me to give astral projection a real go last night. It's been months since I have lucid dreamed.

I woke sometime in the early morning ( at a guess 3:30) and decided to try the WBTB method. I combined this with something I read about cycling through techniques. So the idea is only spend less then 45 seconds on each technique and just run through them all. So try spinning/wobbling/rope/3rd eye/ observing the void etc. Until one starts to work for you.
I started getting a good spin happening then moved on to observing the void, some images started and I was playing a scene in my mind of me getting up from my bed and walking but I wasn't getting pulled in. So then 3rd eye meditation and tingles all over my body and boom I floated out of body.
My bedroom looked normal I approached the window and moved the blind, look normal I pushed my head through the glass. Half my body became stuck. I was pushing my self out with my handson the walls but was stuck. I was starting to get a little worried how will I get out of this.
I decided to just relax so I just stopped pushing and looked around, and I my body just slide out and landed on the ground.. the grass was soft and not my normal yard, so I know this is a LD not OBE.

I can only remember fragments of what happened next. I was moving some tree branches using my mind. They moved easily, normally its hard for me to achieve this.

Then I was having dinner with my family. I started moving the glasses using telekinesis. My mum sore it and was impressed. I then levitated all the glasses on the table ..everyone .. including my self were impressed. Each glass was floating and I could move each one individually.
..
I was outside leaving the house. I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or not. I decided to jump through the gate rather then opening it. It is a 6” high fence....we have a big dog that can jump like a freaking kangaroo. So I lunched my self into the gate .. and phew it was a dream I went straight though it. .. in hindsight that was a bad idea for a reality check lol.. why I couldn't just plug my nose ! and I don't even live in that house any more.. the mind is silly sometimes in dreams.
So I wake up and decide to try and chain. I get into another dream and this bright light is in my eyes. A voice says wake up and record your dream you will forget it in the morning. And of course due to the excitement and all I do not, I want to continue lucid dreaming Damn it!! and of course I forget most of the dream!.
Will I ever learn!..

Yes! Finally got the picture thing down! Okay I had another dream last night, and it was another Lucid dream! No I will not only be posting my Lucid dreams, but all the other dreams I had this week I forgot as soon as I woke up, or they were so unclear or stupid I didn't want to write about them. This dream, just like the last one, had a very bad beginning, and didn't get good until about halfway through. I will also bold the part when it becomes Lucid, so if anyone is only interested in that part, go ahead and only read that if you want.

It started off as a full screen view of a Call of Duty MW3 Montage. You know those sick videos of gameplays on YouTube? Yeah something like that. It was like actually being the person, but I wasn't controlling him. He was destroying the team, and he was somehow doing these awesome tricks to avoid shots and just absolutely molested the enemies. Then, it changed, and I joined the game, but I was actually in control. The original guy who was the one killing was next to me. He handed me a gun (don't remember what kind, I think some assault rifle), and told me to kill anything that comes in sight. I looked around, and I instantly realized I was in the exact bunker used for training at the beginning of Call of Duty 4, except it was in a Tundra area. I went around corners with my partner, (probably Pal) and shot people as soon as I saw someone. We eventually made it outside where we met up with the rest of the soldiers. They told us that we needed better firepower for the creatures, and handed us a rocket launcher. Pal was next to me and was telling me to stay close, and not to underestimate their power. At this point, I'm like WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Pal points to the right, and there are about 2-4, 10 feet tall Ice creatures (looks similar to the picture above). I asked what the hell were they, and he said an Ice Golem, and we needed to take them down.

I was scared shitless, but Pal being a bawss, charged at a lone Golem and started shooting at the Golem with his Rocket Launcher. I manned up and started doing the same. Then Pal turned away and started taking out another one, leaving me alone with this behemoth Golem. I shot every bullet I had at it, but it just made it more angry. It charged at me. Now I must tell you I have a pretty cool ability, when I am in peril in my dream, I have like a 65% chance of having instant lucidity, which is very useful to prevent nightmares. At that moment it charged at me, I realized I'm dreaming, but being a man I wanted to still kill it. I knew this thing was made of Ice, so I decided to shoot fire at it. I cupped my hand in like a ball shaped and waited for fire to appear. It didn't. I could tell my lucidity wasn't very strong, so I had to take matters in my own hands, literally. Time was going slowly because I didn't want it to kill me while I was dealing with this fire shit. Yeah, I could control time, but not fire. So I looked at my hand, concentrated really hard, and said, GIVE ME FIRE! Then finally it appeared. Time sped back to normal and at the last second I threw the ball of fire at him. As soon as it hit him, he exploded, and the explosion was so strong that it caused the dream to change, and I knew I was about to wake up. I panicked, and instead of rubbing my hands together, I rubbed my finger with my hand......Wait what? Yeah I know I had a major brain shit. Then I woke up. I think my mind was punishing me for being such a dumbass. It was another fun lucid dream nevertheless.

I recall having two lucids recently, but I can't remember them.

Before I go any further, let me tell this dream was long, EXTREMELY long. Thankfully, most of it was just a cluster fuck of random crap that no one cares about, or it makes no since in any way. So I'm just going to get to the part that actually makes since and is the lucid part! By the way, like most people I think, my dreams are usually beyond weird. No, not weird, COMPLETELY FUCKED UP! Pardon the all caps language, but its true. So some of my entries will probably make no since, so just deal with it!

It started off as me sleeping outside my, "Dream House", which I guess is a rural rundown barn establishment. I don't know why I didn't sleep inside the barn. Maybe I thought it would collapse on me. Anyways, it was really nice outside. It just became morning, and the temperature was perfect, and it was sunny. When I woke up, I started talking to my Pal who I guess was sleeping near me. My parents were there with his parents too talking as well. As I was talking to him, I suddenly experienced the almighty Lucidity, and I was like, AHHHHH HELL Yeah.... I'm dreaming! Instantly my Pal, being his normal ignorant dream self, was like you Dumbass why would you be dreaming? I ignored him and started thinking about what to do first. The dream was so clear, I knew I had complete Lucidity, and could do anything. I said, I'm gonna fly! And took off. I was flying probably like 40MPH give or take just around the perimeter of the property, then shot up really fast, and then back down. When I landed, Pal was gone, and my gay Honda CRV (which I really hate having) was lying out in the open. I came up with this crazy idea to make the car fly while I was in it. I was about to get in it, then I realized, I'm dreaming, why don't I make this my dream car? So I said begone! And there was a sexy 2011 Dodge Challenger. I get in, start it up, and take off. My parents are in the back seat for some reason, silent, but I didn't really notice. So then I looked at my radio and told it to play a song that went along with flying. It instantly played, Surfin with the Alien by Joe Satrioni (one of my favorite guitarists). Then I say, "Fuck you Physics!" And lift the car off the ground. The pure excitement and epicness of this situation is probably the reason I woke up. I'm amazed, because most people don't get flying down easily in a dream, and I did it like a champ!

Hell yea

My face began to hurt today so I decided to take a quick nap.

Slipped into a dream of me at a party with a good number of my college friends. after a while of doing random talking I get to seriously thinking about why my exgirlfriend is showing me around to people... I begin sitting down and am talking to my friend klehlyn. He responds to my concerns with the jarring phrase "well, ya only live once." just then, I get up from the table as another of my friends brakes his hand, I look at him and exclaim, "relax dude, You'll be better in the morning."

I feel the dream begin to fade, This happens to me everytime after a while, so I just deal with it. I brace myself not to move when I wake up. Its black, my eyes are close, I sit there... sure enough...

I'm treated to weird, windows 98 style loading screen, "loading the dream." I wasn't aware of the stupidity of what I was seeing at the time. The screen gets to 78% exactly, I remember that, when suddenly I start to slip away from it. I start to feel as if my head and torso have fallen through my bed. Then my legs, maybe slightly more than my torso. Then... I fall. Fall into a beautiful 1980's style town in the middle of the night. The town is absolutely filled with pumpkins. The design is very tim burtin.

My first thought is "Think Steve, what haven't you done?" I look around and notice a water fountain I decide to sit beside it and take massive gulps. I notice that my vision is blurry, its almost hard to look straight with one eye, its as though I had the world's worst lash in my eye. I attribute it to the fact that I got in a fight 3 days earlier, and I have a broken cheek in real life. This actually was the case to the best of my knowledge, I can't really think of any other reasons. I know you don't really have "eyes" persay, but my brain could have been rationalising through that sensation. The pain made the dream start fading again. I brace again... Black. The method appears to have worked again. In the same way too... I see the same loading screen as before, crappy and old as ever. I'm starting to like it though. This time it completes to 100% and then just fades away. Black. I think what's wrong? maybe my rem cycle is just over, cut down right when I getting the hang of this for the night, I think.... wait, do I see blue? like realllly far of in the distance, I think I floating towards it.

Its gets bigger and bigger until I finally realize what I'm looking at, its very small world, floating in a massive blue nebula, surrounded on both sides by two giant float warrior statues, who's swords were the same impressive blue color as the rest of what I was seeing. I begin falling towards this planet, eventually falling onto a tree... This is when I notice it, the textures, the sounds, tiles and blocks... I realized, I play too much minecraft I was inside minecraft. So I go down the ladder attached the the tree, it takes me a little section that has recently been blown by a creeper, for some reason, instead of dirt and sand, the items on the ground were all very valueable. I start absorbing items for dear life. Then I think a second and realize that given that I'm so used to seeing minecraft characters fly anyways, I should see if I can just fly out of the hole. I've flown in dreams before, thats not special... I was just geeking out... I fly over to see if all the various monsters look the same, the only one that looked different was the creeper, who was for some reason a frightening flesh color. I then see a girl that I know from school, I decided "meh, screw building blocks, I want to make cyborgs!" Luckily, there's no dream ethics committee that I have to report to... so I take her to a deserted castle, with the intent of making a robot out of her... Nothing else, I promise... Everything is still all minecraft graphics, so everything seems like a parody of frankstein and machinema. My brain has lost of redstone wire lying around. I look at her transformation on the lab table and begin to be frightened by what I see. It shocks me awake.

"I see the ceiling, I've lost for right now".... Then I began writing this...

I'm at D's house outside, and some random DC is hanging out with us. R is there too, and he's washing his car. We were all going back and fourth talking about women in town and what not. D said it was getting late, so we were going to have to leave. I went back into his house for something, and as soon as I entered the door, I realized that his house looked EXACTLY like mine in the inside.

I RC a couple of times, and try to make a portal on the ground. Some kid is in the way, so I walk off, and try it again. They get right back in the way again. This eventually happened two more times, and finally I punched the kid in the forehead, and walked outside of the house. Now that the kid was knocked out on the couch, I figured it was really go time. I created a portal on the ground, and jumped in it. Unfortunately, the rest of the dream involved me watching some video.

Haunted House
I was in a haunted house attraction with a group of friends. We were at the end of it. We were about to go through the hallway, when Leatherface popped out with a chainsaw. Everybody screamed except for me. I fell to the floor and so did a DC. I told them, "We have to not look scared. He would go away if we're not scared." We got up from the floor, but, I think the Leatherface guy heard me. He wouldn't go away.

Inception
This was a lucid dream fragment. I was in a snowy desert. Ellen Page and Leonardo Decaprio were in front of me. I was holding a gun. I was full aware I was dreaming.

That 70s Show
It was an episode of That 70s Show. Eric, Fez, Hyde, and Kelso were there. They were all mad at Kelso and he was trying to explain himself.

Got the Part
I dreamed that I got one of the lead parts of a weird dance movie. I shared the lead part with my friend Billy (A recurring character in my dreams) and a black guy. I don't remember the black guy's name, so, let's nickname him Youssef. Youssef, Billy, and I shared a dorm together. A very bossy woman barged in there and demanded us to be under her control. We said no. So, she gave us each five dollars. At lunch, we each spent our five bucks on chicken. The woman watched us do it and was mad at us. The chicken looked like chocolate cake. We then started filming the
first scene of the movie. I found out the woman played the part of the principal in the movie. The scene took place in a gym. Youssef was the main character. All the dancers, including Youssef, Billy, and me, danced to a very weird song. The school staff didn't want us to.

Lucid Non-lucid

I was with a few people at a park. One girl was hot and I convinced her to go up onto the playscape with me. I guess my mind knows that if I can get a hot girl alone, I can handle the rest of the situation more favorably while lucid. So while she was on top of me, I became lucid. I didn't even think of having a different dream since I became lucid in an already sexual scene, and tried to use my lucidity to extend the dream and to make sure I achieved something. I made sure to go really slow, and unbuttoned her shirt. Then for some reason the dream reset, and I found myself walking with all the people to the park. I retained lucidity, though it was deteriorating, and planned to just take the same girl up to the same place and resume. However I either woke up or lost lucidity.

lucid Non-lucid

I was standing by a building talking to a friend about lucid dreaming. He didn't believe me, but then I told him that it was a dream right then, so he looked around and seemed to become lucid, in the dream I was wondering if it was a shared dream. I knew it was a dream but didn't feel lucid, so it was more of a semi-lucid. Then two black guys walked toward us with a knife so I told my friend to run. We ran really fast and I expected a river to appear and then had us jump in to escape. We were caught so I reset the dream, and then started it out running and we got away. It carried us to a house where there were other people. I stared at objects like plants to see how vivid and lifelike I could make them and got them very realistic. I think I jumped pretty high, but soon I lost lucidity or woke up.

nonLD lucid dream

dream 1 - I was chatting with my friend on computer,(it was our cell group chatzy. weird!) and I said "I have to WILD in next dream".

lucid dream - I woke up from dream 1 and it reminded me of doing WILD. lol

I stand up from bed. still blind. I rub my eyes in the bathroom like I did in the lucid dream from weeks ago. worked!
I open up the veranda and the thick sheet of ice has covered the whole town. snow!! yay!! and it's not cold at all.
I fly, grabbing the tree branch. it is so vivid. I land on the roof of a house then fly away.
there's a very sloppy roof, and I climb on it, hearing "no lucid dreamer cannot fly over that roof!" from a DC.
I climb up to the end of roof and there's huge green sea below the house. it is scary. but I think, what do you have to be afraid in lucid dream?!
so I jump over, then fly away.
I land on the street where the houses that looks like from English 1850's house style, but the people are modern.
this reminds me of my vampire comic, and I transform into Stella and do the summoning jutsu to meet Amy.
what?! it doesnt work. really?! I imagine popping smoke but it doesnt come out at all. so I try to summon her by looking behind.
after doing that for several times, I see Amy sitting on a bench. I approach to her and bring her to the street.
she is somehow taller than I think. I did not see her face exactly, but she is wearing black cloak and she has black hair.
I am Stella, not me. I hug her, as if Amy is really sick or something...

then I shift into non LD, but dont recall anything!

Awake, Non-lucid, Lucid, [Commentary made while awake]

I'm driving through the parking lot of a shopping center, at night. There is a violent physical altercation going on in the parking lot, and it turns into a gunfight.

I'm now riding my bicycle through a nearby residential neighborhood, where there is more violence going on. It's still nighttime. As I ride, I pray that I won't get hit by a stray bullet. I also reflect that I could be driving to my destination, which is my old church, but I like bicycling better than driving. [This is true.] I miss the turn to get to St. Mark's.

I'm no longer riding my bicycle; I'm now standing in a black nothing. [I suspect that I might have DEILDed here, but I'm not positive.] I think of the destination I was just trying to get to, the parish hall at my old church, and cause a knife from the parish hall's silverware drawer to appear in my hand. A second later, the parish hall appears around me.

I walk through the room, appreciating the dream environment, as usual. A lot of people are there, including my parents. My dad comes up to me and offers to give me a hug, and I accept it and hug back. All the people are there for a big reception, with a lot of food laid out on tables.

After the reception, when everyone has left except me, my parents, and two or three other people, there is still a huge platter of thinly-sliced roast beef left over. I try to give it away to those two or three other people.

I wake up in my current bedroom, very pleased to have just had a lucid dream. I remember to grab my phone, which is running Ev's Lucid Dreaming App for Android, and draw a star on the screen with my finger to indicate that I just had a lucid dream. I draw the star, but very sloppily, with one point much bigger and longer than the other points. I'm concerned that the program won't recognize the gesture, but it does. It displays the gesture I just drew with the caption “lucidity!” underneath it, in the same font it always uses for those captions.

When I woke up for real, I thought to myself, You know, I bet I didn't actually record that lucid dream. The app wouldn't recognize the star if I drew it that poorly, and the caption always just says "lucid dream." I checked my actual phone and, sure enough, no "lucid dream" mark on my graph. That had, indeed, been a false awakening. I felt slightly frustrated, as well as highly amused that the app had shown up in one of my FAs.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Side notes:

Wow. I'm pretty pleased with this DEILD, if that is indeed what it was, and with my sudden mastery of changing the dream scene. To be fair, though, I did change it to the destination I had been trying to reach in my non-lucid nightmare.

I didn't realize until after I woke up that the part where my dad hugged me was day residue. On the evening before I had this dream, I hadn't bothered to get up and hug my dad when he left the house, and I had regretted it. I thought it was awfully nice of my subconscious to give me a second chance to do that.

11-01-11 I dreamed I were a female 17-25 talking to a Latino young man about the same age there was chemistry. He worked for a local factory that is on 2-3 wk's. and off 1 wk. He asked if I wanted to go out with him, I got into a vehicle.I was possibly drugged. I awake on a freight train in a box car caged and we are crossing the Mississippi River, I am disoriented at first, cold and it seems really high off the water, I can still smell the river, see the lights, and feel the air, then I ask where we are going and he states we are going to visit his family for the week.I insist he put me on a greyhound back to TN but it is too late. He kinda smirks...I cry and cry silently. I am shaken and you might say in another place mentally. He is traveling with other employees Latinos and a best friend also Latino. He states the town W....something, cant quite remember Wesminster or Wenchester... not sure. There is something about him that has changed, he seems cold distant w/o a conscious. (this dream started around 2-3 am initially,kids woke me and I went back to sleep then in my sleep I disrobed...I cant tell you how unlike me that is) We finally arrive.This doesn't look like the TX I remember. It looked more like tropical mexico but in the heart of a city. I asked to go to a store for toiletries but was told we were going to the place we were to be sleeping at, no where else.He kept telling me I would be home in a weeks time, I pleaded "I have to go home I have babies.... what will they do w/o me for a week".Then it turned into 3-4 days he said I would be home.I knew I was never going home. I had lost all hope. I was ordered to disrobe?????? then I was allowed a small space to sleep next to him like a pet or something and slept. I awoke ...For all I can tell from this dream he did not hurt me or assult me in any way but I felt that my time was running short in a sense... I didn't get to see the end. I feel as though some dreams I have are real life possible situations and that I should be helping the victims in my dreams. It feels as though I'm her mixed with a little of me. All of the terrible things that she felt I felt too....the smell of the river.... Spanish language.... danger..... urgency... and total panic. I felt dehumanized and my life valueless. If this were a real situation I am not so good at remembering the details so how could I help anyway? feedback welcome....


I must add today 11-04-11 that I had this dream Halloween night so it was 11-01-11 around 2 am but did not post till the am of the next night because it was so disturbing I had to find an outlet and stumbled across the site and typed 2ce the 1st time was erased and I had to visit the details in my mind again to get it down. Oh and my time zones not right I entered this at around 3am newby error, its still not right.

Dream 1 – I am driving a car. I am a bit scared that I’m gonna have accidents. Few cars crash. I run away from cops and do the road rage. At this point my vision shifts to 3rd point, feeling like playing a video game. I pick green racing car on the road and drive it very fast.

Dream 2 – I don’t know how I got lucid but when the dream started I instantly knew it was a dream.(I think I did some mantra )
I am hanging on the outside of veranda of an apartment. Nearby I see a lake and mountain so I decide to fly there. The sky was blue, some baby clouds, perfect green grass field, sweet soft wind, clear river… I was so happy. I use transformation jutsu to turn into Miho. Worked! (transformation jutsu rally works well )I could feel her pointy fox ears. But my voice is still mine so I use voice transformation(?) jutsu. I was surprised that I had totally different voice. I slide on water surface, flying. Suddenly the yellow hay house reminds me of my ‘goal’ so I go up to the hill on the right side of me. There is some kinda of Korean restaurant. At this point the dream becomes unstable and shifts into non-LD.
