Non-lucid dreaming -- Lucid dreaming

Hello! Well, I started writing this introduction last night, but I was really tired so I never finished it. Basically, I've wanted to have lucid dreams for years and have now gotten back into trying again. I mean I never really stopped thinking about it, but it hasn't been much more than "sure would be cool to have a lucid dream tonight, ha-hyuk". But one thing that I've been doing is recording voice notes on my phone whenever I wake up from a dream. I find this to be a pretty nifty way to get them saved. Especially since for me, rather than waking up refreshed, I ALWAYS wake up groggy. Even if I get 12 hours of sleep, I'll be kind of out of it. So I am way too tired to write; not only can I barely keep my eyes open but my writing is practically illegible. I end up making brief notes like "bridge lady town jump" that don't make sense later.

Up until this morning, I had only had two lucid dreams, one when I was 13, one like 3 years ago. But this morning I had one! I will describe it, but it seems like most of my dreaming is done in the morning. Or at least most of my memorable dreaming. When I'm woken up by my alarm clock and hit the snooze button, somehow that seems to trigger me to dream, because I do very frequently. So, I decided to take advantage of this! Last night before going to bed I found a really good text to speech thing online and recorded it and made my own sound file (complete with a beat n such) in Audacity. Then I used it as a one-time "alarm" to go off around 8 AM. It says "You are dreaming. This is a dream. [My name], you are having a dream. This is a lucid dream." I figured that since it's kind of short it wouldn't wake me up, but it might get into my subconscious and maybe a DC would say it or something.

However, my morning around 8 went differently than expected. First of all, I forgot my computer will just go into standby if nothing's going on (usually I open a torrenting program and seed so that it will stay on), so the sound didn't play. Then, I was super cold and had to pee. Lastly, my mom was playing The Doors and singing at a middling but annoyingly audible volume. So, I took care of the computer, the cold, and the pee, and set the alarm again for 45 minutes later. Success!

I was in some place and my dad wanted me to go talk to this girl. Somehow she had to do with his business, she was like a client or something and I was supposed to talk to her to something something. Once we were alone, however, we started having sex. I don't think we actually got all the way, but we were doing fun stuff. This is pretty much all I remember from this part, I feel like after that I like wasn't with her anymore for some reason and I was trying to get back to her. Next thing I remember, I'm lucid, baby! I don't remember hearing the recording I made, but whatever. I was in what was supposed to be my room, except everything was totally different (arrangement, furniture, etc.). The first thing that I did was try to stabilize by rubbing my hands together. However, the first time I did this I really felt like I did it in real life. This may or may not have been the case, but I thought so at the time, and the dream began to suddenly fade. I almost think that I woke up slightly but if so then I did a DEILD... I think this is what happened, except that as I said, I only partially woke up. I really wanted the dream to continue, so I kept focusing on it coming back and it did. So anyway, then I rubbed my hands together some more in the dream and it worked. I don't know if it increased my lucidity or not, but probably I guess. I didn't focus on the feeling really, which is the point. Unfortunately the dream is somewhat foggy, but then I know I was in the bathroom of my place (which was more like a studio apartment than just my room where I currently live) and I looked at myself in the mirror. It was pretty dark in the room but I could've sworn when I first looked in the mirror I saw small devil-horn-like protrusions on my head. I was like "Oh dear!" but upon further examination it was just my hair and I looked normal. Lol.

The next thing I remember, I was on a street in some Eastern European looking city. I know I thought to myself, "What should I do?" and since nothing else came to mind I thought "I'll go find that girl again!" Although I don't have specific memories of the first ones, I believe that I tried to open some doors while visualizing that she would be on the other side. This is something I would really like to have work for me, the idea is pretty awesome. I mean opening a door to somewhere else in general. Anyway, it didn't work. Then I remember going to this brick wall where there was a tiny door in the center. I opened it and inside there was this metal contraption thing, I suppose kind of like one part of a metal-link bracelet but on a much larger scale (the opening was like 9" x 12"). I started pulling it out and when I did it created a staircase leading upward. I climbed it, somehow knowing a door was at the top, and imagining the girl waiting for me on the other side. My image of her may have been too clear or something, though, because the next thing I knew I had a lot more to traverse than before. It was like somehow the stairs had taken me into what seemed like an elevator shaft, with the door at the top. Not only that, but there were grates placed horizontally in the shaft every 15 feet or so. I really have no idea how I was continuing to climb, but I was, although it was beginning to seem futile. I then had the idea to try to float or levitate up the shaft, and when I thought this hundreds of butterflies started floating upwards how I had imagined. I tried to sort of float on/with them but it didn't really work, I think this was because I didn't know how I was going to get through the grates.

The next thing I knew, I was back in my room/apartment (and in the voice note I referred to it this time as "my hotel room"). I'm pretty sure I just teleported there because I immediately tried to conceive a door and decided to draw one on a piece of paper and try to go through it. I remember seeing the door drawn on a piece of paper, but then my mom flushed the toilet IRL and it woke me up. Dag nabbit! I was pretty jazzed though and recorded it right away. I do wish I had DEILD'd, but I moved a bunch when I first woke up so it was a lost cause (though I feel like it wouldn't have been if I hadn't moved!!).

So, firstly, woo hoo!! That's my third LD ever! And first in like 3 years! And secondly, sorry about the preoccupation with sex. This dream has made me realize that I need to get some tasks! I want to create a list of simple goals to go for. Really simple things, sort of exercises which will test my dream control while also stabilizing the dream. I'm going to make a list of things I want to try, and then I'm definitely going to read other parts of DV for ideas, but if you feel like commenting please do!

Simple things I can think of now:

• Turn around slowly to fully take in the dream scene
• Try to conjure my phone in my pocket (perhaps use it to control the dream)
• Examine the clothes I'm wearing
• Focus on a DC
• Talk to a DC
• Examine something closer, feel a wall's texture, etc

More difficult seeming tasks I would like to achieve:

• Open a door to another location
• Fly

Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated! I'm going to go check out the TotM and TotY as well. YAAAY

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot, I totally did the plug-nose-and-breathe thing 4 or 5 times, I think when I was in my room. It totally worked! I'm pretty sure the first couple times I breathed in, but the second couple times I breathed out, because I remember thinking that maybe I wasn't fully plugging my nose when air was coming out. I kept trying to fully plug it and I couldn't seem to, I had some thought about how you can't plug a water faucet with your hand. Either way it totally affirmed my lucidity (although I knew I was anyway).

I just had a lucid dream about an hour ago. And it was from RCing with my watch. I woke up at 5:00 or 5:30 and remembered just 2 dreams, did not try very hard. They could have been the same.. Anyways, went to the bathroom and wrote them down. The did MILD as I was falling back asleep:
I said to myself that I will have a lucid dream and I will remember it and I will be aware in my dream and know its a dream over and over and over
Then thought of one of my dreams that I just woke up from and looked for the dream signs in it. And if I thought of any other scene I would think "this is a dream" and slowing go back to just telling myself I will have a lucid dream.
It took awhile, but finally fell back asleep. I'm hoping that this all might help out another newbie searching around on the forums. In the dream I saw my brother and thought "I see him in my dreams a lot, maybe I could RC everytime I see him". So I RCed and the seconds were messed up, I thought "no way". Everything was so real, I saw the sunlight on my arm and watch, and then I looked back at my watch and saw all the numbers were messed up. During the day, whenever I RC I try to truly and honestly consider whether I am dreaming and kinda imagine my watch messing up. Which I think really helped. Anyways, I thought "Now Isaac(my name), cool it, don't get too excited" and remembered to stabilize the dream its good to spin and go to a new scene. So I started spinning and closed my eyes and thought of my bathroom. Then I thought if I open them I might wake up in my bed, and I was not sure what to do, and kept spinning, then I smacked my hands on the counter in the bathroom just before opening my eyes and found myself in the bathroom. I looked in the mirror, did not see my reflection, did not want to try for fear of waking up and I saw the window was more square as apposed to rectangular in real life. I opened the door and looked out in to the hall way and thought of how real it looked. I walked out and into the dining room and thought "I gotta try flying and get outside!". So I went out the door, ignoring that it opened in the opposite direction its suppose to. I tried flying and thought "well wow this is dull and boring and not near as fun as I thought it would be" then I noticed I was still on the ground. So I ran around to the front yard and heard a radio and thought I was starting to wake up. Then my dad was walking towards me and I had a false awakening and thought I had slept walked to the front yard. As my dad was talking to me, I saw a black dot above a mound of hay or something and and wondered if it was a kittin, it was and it meowed and walked to me and it looked and sounded real. Another one and Miles(one of the older cats) came. Then I woke up for real.

Well hope I helped someone and thanks again guys for your replies. And I agree with Arch that WILD is not a good idea for, I think, newbies like me. Every time I tried, it did not work and I tried so many times.

I thought I might should write my first lucid dream, I had when I was 4 or 5 years old.

I was in my room. I was really afraid. Me and my friends were in the bed, and jumped on some plates. There was an evil cup, which tried to eat us. It yelled and had a very deep man voice. I jumped down on the floor, and ran out in the living room. I saw a teddy bear in the chair, and some flags. It was my birthday! But where was my parents?.. No, they would never leave me on my birthday like this. Never.. I heard the cup again. It said, that I had to come back! I stopped op. This was a way too weird! And then..
I realized that I was dreaming, and became lucid. I didn't knew, what it was, or that I could control it. I just had to wake up, because I was still really afraid. But first, I saw how vivid it all became. The sun shined on the teddybear, and I thought, it was so amazing. The cup stopped yelling at me, and there was nothing else than silence. I thought, that I one day HAD to come back to this place, where everything was so vivid and beautyful. (And here I am, haha, I'm training for it, little me!)
I blinked.. Nothing happened. I became nervours. What if I couldn't wake up?! I blinked a second time..
.. And found myself in my bed. I was both afraid, but also happy. I thought it was so amazing. And I guess that's why I still can remember the dream in so many details. Especially the lucid part.

I'm training to get another LD, and I hopefully will soon. Maybe tonight.
I promise, I'll write it in here as soon as I gets one!

Have nice dream. *Doing a reality check*

Between Sleeping and Waking: Dream Diary of the Man Who Doesn't Make Sense.

Wednesday, August 24, 2011:

Day 6: Targets and the Grecian Palace.

I had been outside the gas station in part of Arizona. The air was arid, and I had been with three friends (two outside with me, one in a car, and all three had been based on real-life people) pondering just how I would get myself back home. I had come to this field of sand to test a route to a college prior to my going there on a class trip. That was when I had suddenly realized that I had been dreaming. Just as this realization came to me, I began to run over the environment with my hands, so as to cement lucidity. Then, facing my two DCs who were with me, I figured, "why not?" That was when I had begun to attack my poor friends with my fists. Obviously, they hadn't liked that too much, and they quickly walked off into the emptiness of the desert. Just as they did so, I had gotten the sudden urge to perform an energy beam attack. So, I cupped my hands and said the immortal and infamous words...
"Kamehame..."
At this point, a small, glowing, bluish-white ball of energy had formed in my hands.
"...ha!"
Then, I shot a small slow-moving blast of energy out of my palms. It missed horribly, resulting in one of the fleeing DCs giving me a look of disproval. I had remembered that she had been a Dragonball Z fan in waking life. When the DCs had finished walking off, I got in the car with the third DC. He proposed that we head off to the grocery store, my lucidity hanging by a thread. We did so, and, luckily for me, the lucidity had intertwined itself within the dream's plot. I had resolved that I would call my mother and tell her not to worry - for I would be home after I awoke.
Upon reaching the grocery store, I noticed that the structure was surprisingly elaborate. Unlike your typical store, grass and stone fountains had aligned the floors where merchandise shelves were held. The textures and the shelves had effectively formed a maze of Grecian proportions. I never did get a chance to explore the place too deeply, however. I soon awoke in my bed.

Duration: Roughly five minutes.
Level of Lucidity: Low.

I was in a fitness hall, spraying water out of my hand, which i swung in spirals, forming a square shaped water box at the end.

I was with this unimportant person at this nice looking old house. It was surrounded by a bunch of dark green trees and an aging path led from the house to the road. It was night and normally I am pretty nervous to be outside during this time. However, there was a sort of comfort about the cool night air and the darkness seemed welcoming, rather than encompassing and frightening.
The unimportant person, I suppose we'll call her Wendy, needed to go somewhere. I had nothing better to do, so I followed her. I honestly don't think the girl noticed I was there. She and I walked over to her really old car and she got in. It was one of those snug black cars from the fifties. I thought about getting in, but I decided to just hitch a ride on the car's roof.
My reasoning?
"She won't be going fast down this road."
As I'm looking at the moon and all the pretty trees, I smile and think,"This is wonderful. It's like a dream..."
Then, I realize that it is a dream. I'm quite pleased and don't let myself get excited, for fear that I'll wake up. I remember reading dream stabilization tips on this website and others, and try to use them. However...
"Clarity now!"
Same blurriness.
I pause for a moment, then say it again. Same thing happens.
"I said CLARITY NOW."
My sharp and commanding voice did little if nothing to help.
However...
"...HD Vision now!"
Poof! Everything was nice and clear. I suppose I could have gotten off the car, but I was enjoying myself. So, I issued a few commands.
"I'd like her to turn down this road, left, up a ways."
The car went the way I wanted.
"This scenery is really nice, but I want it to be dusk instead."
Then, it was dusk. I stopped after that because I didn't care.
The End

I woke up this morning at around 8 AM, and realized that I had once again failed to have a lucid dream, and only remembered a little bit of one dream about getting really drunk on beer, working at a cash register for a really long line of people, and messing around with two friends. I was so frustrated that I told myself "You are not leaving this bed until you have had another dream, and it had better be lucid". So I lay back down in bed, but I couldn't go to sleep again for another half hour (because I really wasn't tired anymore).

Finally, I managed to get back to sleep.

FIRST LUCID DREAM:

I am shopping for a present for my brother in a strange store, but there's nothing very good for him, and one PEZ dispenser costs 10 dollars. They keep boarding up the shelves so that I can only see stuff through the side. I find an awesome skirt that makes you look like Kairi from Kingdom Hearts, but when I look back they've all turned into other articles of clothing.

I walk into another part of the store and do a reality check of plugging my nose and breathing. I realize it works and am SUDDENLY LUCID! YAAAY! I do the things that I read about not to lose it, so I try to spin around and look at the rest of the dream, but it fades out a little as I do this and I feel myself waking up. So I don't do anything. I don't move a muscle and I don't open my eyes, I just start to visualize until the supermarket fades back in around me.

This time I try the undressing trick that I've read about, but I only manage to take off my shoes - the rest is too difficult.
I'm too worried to try walking through any doors, as the dream feels very fragile to me. I remember I wanted to try and find M in my dream, so I imagine him being in the other room, and I call out his name loudly. It makes me wonder if my real body is yelling as well.

As I turn the corner I see him, but his back is too me and he walks into a freezer. This frightens me, and I'm worried that if I get too frightened I will wake up, so I don't follow him. I walk back into the supermarket and notice how clearly I can hear the music coming through the loudspeakers. I walk out the doors and am at the beach.

I wake up. And do a happy dance!! Yaaaaay!!!!

Paul has come over to my house. We are at my parents playing some really crappy FPS game, everyone is using automatic weapons but I'm using a pistol which seems to do way more damage and be insanely accurate.
After a while of playing this game paul looks at his watch and tells me its time to leave, it look late, its pretty dark and im sure my parents are both in bed too. I tell him ok, so we both head to the door. For some reason i ask him "do you want any weeeeeeeeeeeeed?" (as i say weed i change the pitch of my voice to keep going higher until i stop saying the word) He laughs and turns around, "bro, check this out" He pulls out a plastic bag FULL of green, maybe 2 or 3 ounces. I hear my parents stirring in their sleep and think SHIT. Suddenly i can smell the green and tell paul to get out asap before they smell it! I get him to the door and paul says "hey wheres my car?" i look on our drive and just out front.... "i dno man where did you park?" he looks to the left to the neighbours drive and chuckles, "look" he points to the drive and his car is there. "wow, im sure they'll be well happy about that!" i say. He gets in his car and drives off.
I go back to bed and my dad is shouting from his room, something about media studies which i did for GCSE a LONG time ago. I just want to sleep and dont want to talk.

Dream 2

I am at my grandma's house, a lot of my family members are there, im sat down on a couch and my aunty is talking to everyone and it is beginning to annoy me. She starts talking down to me about my job or something and i snap "your SO fucking condescending all the time! Whats your problem?" she just looks at me, blank faced and shocked.
She tells me I am rude and i disagree, i tell her that she is being rude and i dont have to take it just because everyone is here. My other aunty, who is sitting to my left in a big leather chair leans forward and says "i agree with ben, i think he had every right to say what he did" i look around the room and can tell everybody agrees with me, but doesn't want to say anything. I get annoyed by this and tell everyone that im leaving.

I get up and go through the door in the living room, grab my coat and then say "and im definitely not coming over tomorrow either" i know there is something important we are all suppose to do tomorrow, but i just don't know what.
I leave the house and go outside to look for my car. I cant find it and instead there is a motorbike outside the house, i know its mine so i get out my keys and start up the bike. Its really snowy and there is ice on the road, its quite dark too but i manage to make it home. I talk to my parents about what has happened they agree with me, but im sure they will never say this to my aunties face.

Suddenly it is the next day and i decide id be stupid not to turn up, im sat an my grandmas playing guitar, i stop as i realise its time to go to the funeral. Its the funeral of my grandad (my grandad is still alive). We arrive at a huge field where hundreds of people are gathered all in black. The family goes down to the relative section, i decide to join them but i go a different way & get separated. I end up sprinting down a raised hill instead of the path which is to my left and now, below me. I cant see a way to get to the path from here so i carry on. Down to my right is a really high steep slope, with a mud river at the bottom, I can sense someone, maybe my mum knows that im thinking about getting down there and doesn't want me to do it, as it looks pretty dangerous.

I sprint towards the edge and start to slide down. I'm desperately trying to slow my descent, reaching out and grabbing handfuls of mud/grass to try to slow me down. I reach the bottom & then walk slowly to where most of my family are stood together, only i am below them and there is a huge and insanely steep hill between us. I try climbing up but its no use. Someone is telling a story of how my grandma and grandfather met. I realise that i shouldn't be able to hear this voice at this distance and also become aware that this voice is in my head. I nose plug RC
I can breathe! "I'm dreaming" i say to myself, i instantly think of my tasks and put my hand out in front of me, grasping and invisible control dial. I turn it and the dream begins to get bright and brighter. I hear DC's murmuring and asking whats happening. I laugh to myself and decide to fly up to them, half way up i realise that I am in my bed. Awake.

Dream - Lucid

I was in a hospital, though the colors were a little weird for a hospital. Instead of there being white everywhere, there were more earthy tones; I especially remember dark reds and browns.

I was getting some procedure done to my right eye. I don't remember them putting me under, I just remember being under and in a dream state (within my dream). I said to my mom in the dream state
"Doing something to my eye freaks me out."
I tried to feel my physical body to see what they were doing to my eye, but I couldn't. Thank goodness for that...that probably would have really freaked me out.

I knew I was dreaming now, and decided to fly. I flew up into the clear blue sky, relishing how it felt. I spotted someone hang gliding above me, and wanted to get up to their height. I flew even higher. I remember an old woman being with me.

I was then freaked out by the extremity of my altitude. I was really close to leaving the atmosphere, which shouldn't have scared me in the dream state, but it did. I thought to myself that I wanted to be back down onto the Earth, and then I was.

I was then waking up in the hospital. They wanted to draw more blood. I started freaking the fuck out, telling them no over and over and squirming and fighting. All the nurses, who were female, were trying to get me under control. One had this thing that looked like a hole puncher that they were going to use to draw my blood. She threatened to use it on my back. I got up and darted out of the room, tearing through the hospital. I encountered no other people.

I was then outside, and decided to fly again. I took off, and noticed I was outside my house. I decided to try to do something else. I wanted to see my friend J. I landed on the roof on the side of my house, and composed myself enough to start drawing a portal. I kept whispering, repeating
"I want to see J, I want to see J..."
I drew the portal on the roof, and when I felt it was ready, I jumped through. I was then in a dark, damp room. I felt a plant's tendrils all around me. I then saw myself in 3rd person being overcome and entwined with the tendrils. I then started to hear the nurses' voices echoing around me. I remember one saying something about bronchitis that wasn't in the lungs.

Had my second ever lucid dream last night and it was about my Dad:

I’m in a room (a bedroom?) with my Dad and a couple of other people. I don’t remember exactly who the other two people were, only that I think they were family of some sort. My Dad got up and walked down the hall to another room. I noticed that he seemed alert and very lucid*. I then remembered that he had passed away this past February and realized that this must be a dream. I looked at my hands to do a R/C but they looked normal. So I held my nose and tried to breathe through it; I could. Just as I was doing it a second time to make sure, my Dad walked back into the room. And I remember thinking, “Okay, you’re having a lucid dream. Don’t wake up!” But that’s where I think I made a mistake, because right after I thought it, I woke up.

*Before my Dad died in February 2011, he had been suffering from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and had not been “himself” in a long time. But in this dream, he was his old self, which I think helped me clue in that I was dreaming. I wish I hadn’t woken up so soon after I became lucid because I really wanted to talk to him and see how he was doing. Also, under the influence of Alzheimer’s, he had gotten in the habit of “hiding things” for safe keeping and there are quite a few things that my Mom says have gone missing and she has no clue where Dad hid them. I was hoping that by talking to my Dad, I could maybe shed some light on where some of the missing items are hidden.

Thursday 15 September around 3pmI was standing on a hill and looked down to a small beach where I used to go on holiday when I was young. The landscape was the same as before but there were three small straw huts which was partly sunken in the sea. This dream was much longer and I was at the same hill earlier but I can’t remember it.

The next thing I remember was standing outside of a child school in the same area. The kids were playing with a shoe. I meted many people I remember from my holidays here but they all was looking so old and had kids in the school. I said hello to most people I saw but wasn’t sure I really did know all of them because of their aging. Then I saw a guy sitting on the street and eating bread with butter. I knew him from before as he runs a bar in Asia. I sat down and starting talking with him and my gf came along. She suddenly freaked out over a tiny spider. I looked at it and it jumped into the air and when it landed it got the shape of a circle. The spider jumped more around and it was annoying. Then it landed in some water on the ground and grew glowing red tentacles from it. The size of the spider tentacle was now as the size of my hand. Seems like it was absorbing water to grew tentacles and increase in size. It was creepy so I decide to walk away and look for my two dogs. I walked down a road and I was now in my hometown. Looked over my shoulder and I saw some friends walked the opposite way as me. Right behind them the spider tentacle sneaking up their backs. There was a lot of water on the road and it was now at the size of a big car. I heard a death scream from my friend’s dog and they were all screaming. I ran in panic with some other people but then I got skeptic to the situation and looked at my hands and became lucid.

I smiled and laughed over the whole situation and stopped running. I walked against two people and said I was dreaming and wondering what we should do. They just stood there as rocks and staring at me without saying a word. Then the dream became unclear and I failed to stabilize it and I wake up in my bed and did some RC.

Seems like I need to try other things to stabilize my dreams when I become lucid. I have tried to spin around and rub my hands together but it only helps for seconds.

The Ogre-Elf

I´m in Hell...Around me only exists fire, ashes and brimstone...

Suddenly, in front of me,an ogre-elf appears. He is gigantic, like 50 stories high.

I´m inside a bird cage, an old one, those who had a round topside.
The whole cage is brown.

I manage to open the birdcage, and i start running.

I can feel the ogre-elf trying to reach me with his hand. I get scared...but all of a sudden, i realize i´m dreaming!

And then i thought:" If i throw myself into the ogre-elf´s hand, my fear will be so great, so tremendous that i´m gonna wake up right know"

I woke up

Comments: This is the first dream i remember, ever...
i must had four or five years old... and as far as i know, it was a lucid one...

[COLOR="silver"]This time I also put on a sleep mask, don't know why it was just for fun. I started to think "Ok now I am going to think about my day, the first that happend was" ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Well I need to find a better methpd to prevent my mind from falling asleep. I think that any thought will do as long as it keeps my mind busy. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I were looking at a wall somewhere in my house. One guy and two girls were pointing at the wall and screaming "Oh my God it's a cockroach!". I looked at the wall and saw that it wasn't a cockroach, but a supersized wood-louse.
It was enormous, but I knew that they aren't dangerous, so I took a stick and made it fell down to the floor and it crawled up into a ball. I took a giant piece of paper (I have no idea where that come from) and I put the wood-louse on it and then I bringed it outside.

I were now standing on a green and I looked at my hands.[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"] I was now awared of that I was dreaming, I remembered to rub my hands and then I did the "butt-ground" stabilisation that I had done before. I was now a little more aware of the dream, but as usual... I didn't stabilised enough. and I lost myself in the dream[/COLOR] [COLOR="blue"]I started to fly and heard police sirens and I started to think that this was the dream chasing me down, because they don't want me to be lucid. althoug I wasn't anymore.. But I still thought this way. I landed on the ground and started running, now I saw normal people walking down the street and I realised that every person here is a potential enemy and I have to watch out for people with guns, because if an agent takes over that body, I am screwed, I can't dodge bullets like Neo.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2491[/ATTACH]

I now saw a man with a black suit and a earpiece. I started to run. I ran passed a police with a gun, and heard the sound of him morphing into an agen as I run. I then remembered I can fly away from them. So I jumped up into the air and heard the guns fire at me, but they missed. I flew into a house, some kind of never ending stairs were there. I saw my friend David and I told him that we have to run. So we ran up the stairs, and we started to feel the house rotating, so the stairs that we were running up from was we now falling down from, we had to decide every move and adapt to the house rotation. We heard an agent laugh outside the building.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Then I woke up, but I was aware of that I had woke up. So I tried to DEILD, but nothing happend..
It might have been an awakening, but I didn't reality check. From now on I am going to get out of bed on every awakening and reality check. Deild is nice, but I am going to see how man false awakening I really have, and not make them a false awakening anymore.[/COLOR]

So this dream was the first zombie dream I've had in a long time but it ended with me being lucid.

Okay so it started on a Camp Ground (as usual), and everything was normal. There were a lot of people I knew there, it was like a big gathering from my church. I just walked around and checked stuff out and talked to people about normal stuff. Then I noticed a Japanese girl with an anime haircut and outfit. She seemed alone and she wasn't talking with anyone so I introduced myself to her and led her around the campgrounds showing her the place. Then we met some people around our age and they were watching the crazies on a small tv plugged into a wall outlet on the outside of the cafeteria. It was half over when we got there. She was nervous at first but she got used to the other people there and I got to know a few of them (don't remember them but I know I got to know them). She didn't like the video because she said it scared her. I told her not to worry and that it's just a movie. When the movie was over I said that I was going to go back to my camp. When I turned to walk away I saw a guy on the shore of the lake trying to catch a bird and eat it. He looked like one of the crazies from the movie.

Everyone sitting near me that had been watching the movie just froze. The japanese girl said, "It can't be..." I immediately ran to the camp ground to tell everyone what I had just witnessed. They said I was just letting the movie get to me. I remember walking around some more and then decided to get back to the people I met watching the movie a while before. When I got there they were watching a women in the lake with water up to her nose with only her eyes showing above the waterline. She looked like one of the crazies. She just stared at us with no blinking and dark eyes. The people around me were talking about helping her and I was the only one that said it was not a good idea and that we need to warn everyone. Nobody believed me...

I ran to the camp and it was becoming hard to find people. Cars were not moving, no fires, just silence.

I knew I had to hurry and find something/someone to help me. I ran to an office building (odd having one of those on a camp ground) but it was somewhat destroyed. I ran to the building and rushed to find guns or something. Then, two crazies came from around the corner of a hallway and ran at me. I grabbed a piece of concrete from the building rubble and smashed one in the head and punched the other one in the head. They both lost their heads with ease (surprisingly).


I ran to the elevator but it was smashed in with a giant I-beam smashing through it. I took the stairs and explored the building a little bit but found nothing useful... I looked out the window of the building and saw two guys with an army truck and a machinegun turret on the back of it. And they were shooting at a few crazies but were also shooting at normal people. They were doing it just because they could. I knew I had to get out of here. I ran back down to the stairs and ran toward the parking lot to find a car and there were a ton of people running and screaming frantically in panic. Then things got worse. The two people on the army truck started crashing through cars and shooting everyone. I hid behind a car and watched people get mowed over by machinegun fire. They drove off after more people and I told everyone that we had to call for help but they said the phones were not working. I ran back towards the camp grounds and noticed some disco lights going off from the cafeteria. I can't remember if I was more relieved or confused.

And now, the strangest part.

There were crazies all around and all walking towards the cafeteria and TALKING TO EACH OTHER. They were like zombies. Slack in the jaw, mouth open, and the weirdest part was they talked with a redneck country accent. Now I have a country accent and I know that this was a REDNECK country accent. I thought maybe if I act like them, I can go in there too and they won't know. I walked in and talked redneck and had my mouth open and to the side (like a mentally challenged kid) and they didn't notice!!! Inside the cafeteria was a live band that weren't crazies, arcade machines, a dance floor, and food stands. I started having some fun and thought maybe they were just crazies in appearance and were just misunderstood. Then, I noticed that many of the crazies in there were friends and family of mine that were at the campground. I talked with them and they were glad to see me and were glad I could join them and be a crazy.

Then after a while the music got quiet and someone got up on stage and said, "People, you know why were here!" Everyone cheered. "We are here to stop the humans and destroy them!" More cheering but occasional zombie sounds like hissing and snapping. "We will kill them, eat them, or change them onto our side!" They all cheered and started exiting the building slowly.

I desperately tried to get away before someone noticed me and right when I got out of the cafeteria, they saw me going the wrong way and snarled "A human! Get him!" I ran as fast as I could through the forest until I came up on a hill and there was a cliff edge with a drop that I couldn't see the bottom of. I looked at the scenery and realized I was dreaming.

Scenery does that for me I don't know why but when I see lots of scenic stuff, I immediately feel that I'm dreaming.

I turned around and saw the crazies still pursuing me and said "I've got to get away from here."

I jumped off the ledge and looked forward and flew.

I flew for a while until I knew I was far enough and then thought hey what if I flew lower to have some fun while flying. So I lowered my altitude and then I started rapidly approaching the ground and tried to raise back up and I crashed into the ground while moving forward and into a woodsy area.

Then, I woke up. <--------Most common journal entry ending.

Started out i was standing by a booth along what looked like our 4th of july parade route...it looked like it was going to rain, there was thunder, and sporatic rain falling......and i was thinking our fireworks wouldbe cancelled again...(the fireworks were cancelled this year due to extremely high fire risk...irl) i turned around and a small plane landed in the street and the pilot go tout and tid a rope to the propeller and started walking the plane down the street, i turned around and my dad was running the booth, he told me to tell him he couldnt be in the parade if the plane was only self powered...so i walked over to the guy and told him what i was told, and he went over to my dad and started argueing with him...i walked up the hill behind the booth, there were like 3 or 4 other booths along the parade route..one ws in the middle of the highway! i was walking towards where the fireworks wouldbe launched, and i notidced how cloudy, windy and cold it had gotten, and it was even lightly raining this time..allof a sudden fireworks started going up as if it was the grand finale..i decided i should have video taped the fireworks for mom, sicne she was in the hopsital and could see them this time..(shes not in the hosptial irl, thankfully) i turned and started walking back to the booth, and i noticed everytime the lightning would flash or the fireworks would go off i would see the shadows of everything that could cast shadows..including my own..i became lucid this time and turned to the left and down the hill heading home....i ended up walking down a small dirt alley behind a home i lived in many years ago..i saw a long dead cat wandering around, i stopped and petted him..havent seen him in many years, and continued on my way......i saw a guy i know in town here irl, walking towards me, suddenly i realized his laundry was finished...um...ok....so he followed me into the house and i opened the dryer and started pulling out clothes..the clothes had like white gunk all over them...i told him..guess youve got to come back later...he said, i'll come back later....... i walked into the living room and there was an old lady standing there buy a table by the door..i decided to do a RC and turned on the lamp on the table where she was standing, it came on..and i observed the surrounding area and noticed shadows etc normally associated with turning on a lamp irl....but i still knew i was dreaming...RC failed! hehe... she handed me some pictures of some girl..or lady..and ask for 2 copies of each(i manage an office supply and make copies every day practically irl) i walked over to the kitchen and realized the copier was out of town....i started rummaging in the cabinets...then woke up...
