Nonlucid, Lucid, Partially lucid

Aug. 31, '11:: I know I am dreaming. I am in a house and looking for a girl, any girl, but no one is around. I go outside and clap my hands, saying it is to make women show up.

I fly over a field or pond, near a fence. The place looks like a farm.
I remember my task and reach into my pocket for a seed to use as a portal to the Dream Academy castle. I pull out a small object and hold it in my hands, stating my intent.
A ribbon slithers out from my hands, going down to the ground (I am still floating) and up into the sky. I start to climb the ribbon, hoping to enter the castle, but the dream fades.

Nonlucid, Lucid, Partially lucid

August 27, 2011: I know I am dreaming as I enter the living room of my old childhood home. I approach the stone wall where the fireplace is and I say that there is a secret door and that one of the stones opens it.
I press a small square stone in the wall. It slide in and a door slides open in the wall. There is a narrow, dusty hallway. It's more like a crawlspace. There are cobwebs and spiders in it. I start crawling through it, awkwardly. The walls do not seem solid or supported.
I say aloud to myself that I wouldn't want to do this in waking life.

Getting to sleep before 2 is awesome! And the sad thing is, that's not sarcasm...

1) My mom is driving me and my sister around very recklessly and I am frightened... After spinning around in a circle, we stop and my sister walks to a convenience store. Open window, baked goods.

2) LUCID. In a room with other people. I run on top of the furniture, excited. When they ask me why, I say, "Because we're in college!" They look at me like I'm mad...

It was only my third Lucid dream. Last night before bed, I posted about Sleep Paralyses and using it to my advantage. I deal with the Old Hag issue quite a bit and feel like there is someone sitting on me or trying to stop my my breathing. Once I got over that last night (first two were awful) I used the DIELD method to get to where I wanted to go. Once dreaming I was outside in a parking lot next to a large warehouse. There was a very steep uphill that was higher than the building. I ran up about 300 ft. with what seemed like no effort. I then was running in the field on top of the hill, having every intention of jumping off the steep incline. So I did. I ran as fast as I could and jumped. At first I was not high up but just skimming the field, with the flying technique which was like swimming underwater when you stretch your hands all the way forward and pull the air/water back and through. Once this was working, I actually was high up and started to drop a bit, so I started to flap my arms a bit like a bird, and stayed up as funny as it sounds. I'm not sure how long this lasted, however when I lost control of the dream I turned into Superman, and carried the Bat Mobile off a train thing. That part bummed me out, not only did I lose the control of the lucid, I turned into a Superhero which is not my regular gig. I had a false awakening I think, and tried to segue into another dream but then actually woke up.
What worked for me: not using computer for an hour, turning off TV and most lights also for an hour before bed and my now current 6mg of Melatonin.

I was in some kind of theme park..I don't know really. I was there with my sister.. and I think the ride went wrong or something.. the ride was something like the Studio tram tours? So everyone (which for some strange reason was only sister and I) had to "finish" the ride on foot. Sis got a bit worried about this one point a cave that had a very high tide coming in. We managed to get across fine. When we turned the corner there was this Audio-Animatronic and when I went past it the Animatronic turned and "looked" at me the eyes glowed red.. and in the room that sis and I just went in..was something similar to an aquarium. end of dream.

I am at home. Some people come to congratulate me for something, I can't remember what. They hug me. I go to the garage. It is bigger than normally and has an extra door. 'This looks a lot like our garage, but it's bigger', I think. 'This must be a dream.' I go outside and do the nose plug RC. It fails. Next I try to get my hand through the wall. It feels very solid and the RC fails also. 'Well, this nevertheless is a dream'. The air is fresh. I try to fly but I only manage to do a back flip. I wonder what I should do. I contemplate doing a TotY, but then I go back inside. First I go to my room. I can't remember if there was anyone in there. Next I go to my brothers room. One of those who were congratulating me is now playing on PS3. The view changes to the game. I that I should pull myself off the game or I'll waste a good LD, but I still keep on following the game. Now it's my brother playing. After a while I wake up.

notes

I am with my buddy Jake, and we're going somewhere for lunch. We go into a hotel first, a very tall building with a large lobby full of people. He leaves me by a podium (like where the hostesses might be in a restaurant) and tells me to wait there, he'll be right back.

As I am waiting, I start seeing lots of people that I know walking around, out of the elevators, milling in the lobby, heading outside. Some of my old HS friends walk up to me. The guys are wearing their football uniforms (but no pads, as if for pictures), and the girls are in either cheerleader outfits or prom dresses. They mostly shake my hand (guys) or hug me (girls) and move past, but one girl doesn't want to break our hug, and we sorta walk over to the side, still semi-hugging. Another girl comes over with her, and we all talk for a few minutes, but nothing I can really remember.

They finally leave, and I see other people I know. A couple of friends take me outside the hotel on a golf cart, and we go for a ride, but I keep telling them 'I gotta get back, Jake will be ready to leave at any time.' When I get back to the hotel, I continue to wait around. I think, it sure is taking him him forever to get back.. I wonder if I am dreaming. I try to levitate the first person I see.. and it works. Lucid.

I stop and stabilize, rubbing my hands together. The hand-rubbing thing is actually a fairly new thing for me to try, so I do it vigorously, really paying attention to how well it works, how well I stabilize. I decide to get in character for my Dream RPG. I turn away from the large windows in the hotel lobby, get a picture in my head of what I should look like, then turn back to the windows to see my reflection.. Wide-brimmed brown hat, white button-up linen shirt, brown leather pants.. looks pretty good. I also have leather straps around my shoulders, which appear to be some sort of holster/weapons storage.. I didn't explicitly try to create this, but it is definitely in keeping with the character.

I know my task is to find the market in Denn and get some armor and a weapon, but for some reason I go ahead and imagine a sawed-off shotgun in my hands.. and it's there. I practice firing it a bit, but there is no muzzle fire and bullet coming out. I have had this problem before, where I had to explicitly imagine the bullet firing for it to work. In the previous lucid, once I imagined it right the first time, it became automatic. This time, however, I seem to be having trouble doing so.

After a few practice shots, I see some outlaws approaching the hotel from the sidewalk. As I still haven't gotten the gun working yet, I retreated around a corner and up some stairs, still trying to get the gun working. I know that I just have to believe it will fire, but at this point I think I'm mostly convinced I'm not gonna be able to get it working. The posse comes around the corner and I aim at them and fire.. The trigger clicks and there is a slight recoil, but no projectile.. As they get to point-blank range and I still haven't been able to get a shot off, I wake up.

Ack! Maybe next time I'll just go to Denn and get some blades to use instead Until I joined this site a little over a month ago, I had never really tried to fight things in my lucid dreams, so it's a new experience for me. I'm sure I'll get better at it with practice. On the positive side, my ability to change my appearance was much improved over last time!

Okay, so last night I went to sleep at about 23:30, and fell asleep at about 00:00.
My alarm was set to 06:00, but I woke up at 05:00. I turned around and looked at the clock, then went back to sleep. I had some weird fucked up dream, then I woke up again. 05:03. Back to sleep. Dream. Wake up. 05:07.
Repeat this until 05:30 and some serious strange shit happened.
So I woke up, turned around to look at the clock (05:30), then while I turned back over I thought "30 minutes left. That's like 1 dream per minute". Immediately I heard a voice angrily yell "NO". Before I could think "What?" I got hit by extremely violent vibrations in my eyes, which were looking upwards at the ceiling. My body was completely paralyzed, I couldn't move. Along with my vision shaking, I also heard an extremely loud sound of about 1000 bunsen burners mixed with a bunch of static bass.

AS IF THIS WASN'T ENOUGH
While I was looking at the ceiling, I saw flashes of white/light-blue light come from my television as if it was burning with weirdly colored flames, and I heard this song.

It all ended and I was there, in my bed, completely shocked and bathed in sweat.
It was not a dream, because I didn't wake up, I even pinched my nose and tried to breathe (a reality check) to make sure.

I didn't sleep for the last 30 minutes after that, before I had to get up and ready for work.
I was shocked out of my mind for 1:30 hour after that.

DILD: It was winter. I found a very small puppy shivering in the snow. I picked it up and carried it with me. I came to my friends place and looked at the pup to make sure it was still alive. It was. But it had changed from brown to black and white. I looked away and looked back. The pup had turned purplish/red. I must be dreaming. To prove I was I made it my intent to float up the stairs before me instead of walking up. I instantly floated to the top of the stairs. I went into the house, put the puppy on the floor and then stood quietly, thinking.

I knew that this would be a very short, probably boring spurt of lucidity. I lifted into the air and let the dream pull at me. I spun wildly, twisting and turning in all directions. It felt as if I would be ripped apart but I didn't care. I had never been ripped apart while lucid and was curious what it would feel like. I felt myself slipping out of the dream.

I forced myself to stop spinning. I had to prolong the dream just a little longer. An entirely disgusting prolonging method I'd read on this site yesterday, popped into my head. I decided to give it a go. As I positioned myself I found the dream stabilized. I proceeded to use the technique and it did, to my surprise, work. However, I soon peaked. At the same moment I woke up.

(Contrary to no-ones belief, im not dead. Just had exams keeping me occupied XD)

Let me start by saying that I dont remember much of the dream, but what I do remember may be interesting to you. I was in a huge area of indeterminate size. Several huge, dilapidated towers of pipework and steam powered machinery stretched imposingly into the sky, whereupon they reached a filthy glass dome ceiling. Bright green moss and lichen covered the pillars, and at irregular intervals circular platforms were built into the pillars. This place had clearly seen better days. I was with some other people, whom i could not identify. We seemed to be global agenda agents (an epic mmotps game) and so we fired up our jetpacks, leaping from platform to platform and climbing higher up the building. We eventually reached a large platform, at which point the thought occured to me that I was dreaming. I looked at my hands and, as i did so, the world became sharper and I became more awake inside the dream. However, I then became nervous and reverted back to my sluggish, low lucid state. This repeated numerous times. I cant remember if anything happened after that

[COLOR="silver"]This morning I had 3 lucid dreams and got own experienced knowledge about how the dream environment is. I had one false awakening, but I didn't reality check, in that moment I were so motivated that I wanted to WILD, instead I switched position in the dream and fell asleep. Then I woke up to the alarm and realised that I had a false awakening, although I didn't reality checked on this awakening either, so I am not completely sure if it was a dream or reality. I started to think about my previous dream , but I wasn't trying to WILD. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="red"]I felt a switch of consciousnes and I was now standing in a store, I immediatelly remembered to stabilise so I started to touch a brown desk that was infront of me. I took my hands and touched my legs and used my body as a stabilisation technique through the sense of touch. Then I saw a girl and even though I was lucid and didn't had to care about her, I did... So she told me that we should steal some of the watches that were behind the glas. I thought to myself this is a dream I can do whatever I want, so I broke the glas and she pointed out one of the watches and I grabbed that and gave it to her.
I wanted something cooler so I looked for a really cool clock, and I found one (I didn't find any real picture of this watch design, so I am going to try to explain it) it was like a big stone and the design of the screen was looking like a shining star.

[COLOR="silver"]Short after this I heard the next alarm and I woke up. I was surprised to my behaviour in the dream, why did I wasted my precious time on a girl that I didn't even know, to steal a watch? Normally I would be satisfied with this dream, because it was vivid and lucid, so I usually just went up and wrote down the dream, Not this time.
I were still perfectly still and thought that maybe I can chain this dream, because I will still remember this dream, so no reason to worry about that.[/COLOR]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2473[/ATTACH]

[COLOR="red"]So I started to think about the same dream again, and felt the switch of consciousnes again! I was now standing at the same spot that I woke up from. A little more aware of that I don't need to follow that girl I remembered that I had told a fried in reality that I wanted to go to the universe and find out what my subconscious mind believed that was out there.
So took pace and started to running out the street and then I jumped and levitated. But I wanted to get speed, but it was hard to imagine, so I did a sound with my mouth that reminded me of Ironman flystyle. I started to accelrate through the sky, really fast it almost felt like I had engines on my back, I couldn't even control it. Then it felt like I flew straight into an invisible wall and I fell. And I fell ... I fell really hard and I closed my eyes and I were in my bed and I still felt like falling.
I knew that this sensation must be a dream so I imagined myself getting out of my bed.
And the imagination become real as usual, and I went down to the door. And I remembered that I wanted to visit a waking life location to see if it felt as real as reality. So I flew (calmly) to my first school, but it didn't look anything like it so I tried to visualise how it really looked like, but I just made it change texture to red brick. I associated school with my old interest which was Harry Potter, so I saw castle textures and buildings appear. [/COLOR]
[COLOR="red"]I woke up again and chained the dream again, but I think I thought about Narnia for one second, because the dream started out in the room were the locker is located (the one they use to get to Narnia). Although the locker wasn't there!
All I saw was a woodwall I ran through it and imagined myself gettig to platform 9 / 3/4.
And I was suddenly looking at the Hogwarts express! I stepped into the train and remembered that I wanted to complete the Hogwarts Challenge on Dreamviews, but then I was on the wrong place. I needed to go to the Diagonalley to get a wand.
Instead I started to ask people n the train in panic if they had a wand I could borrow.
For some weird reason the Requiem for a dream music started to play in the background.
I later decided to wake up, and I associated the woodwall with waking up, but when I walked through the wall I woke up![/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I learned alot from these dreams. Some of these things I have allready heard from Stephen LaBerge and other, but this attempt prooved that it was true. Robert Waggoner: "The sailor never controls the sea".
Likeways the dreamer never controls the dream, the dream (your subconscious) control about 90 % of the dream while the dreamer control 10 %. You just control where to go and what you might experience, but the dream is what creates everything that you see and experience, it might give you some information, but you just flow along what the dream creates.
Which is a good thing, because what if I was a watch designer, if I controlled everything then it wouldn't be anything different compared to reality except you might be able to control the elements and physics better. But now I asked to see a cool watch and then it just appears! Another thing that I got confirmed was that dreams are built of thoughts and associations and emotions and that is why it's hard to have good control, because who can control both their thoughts, associations and thoughts? Although my goal is to use lucid dreams as a paradise and to be able to do that I need more control. So I am going to work on how to do that. And last but not least, chaing dreams might give you more lucids, but they are harder to remember each time you do it. For example I forgot to mention that I met the Harry Potter characters on the train =)

I started off in a house and i was going to see my friends room upstairs.

As we got up into the loft it was absolutely huge, i said "omg you are rich!" i went up some stairs and was looking around and saw a tramline, i followed it and saw something, it was someone buy out of like 28 weeks later. I ran back to where the others were.

Quickly forgetting about the person i sat down on the steps and suddenly someones hands went over my eyes and i heard "guess who?" i turned around to see and it was a girl i havent seen in ages, i was so happy to see her as she is a close friend of mine.

I then began walking down a stone corridor and went into a large room with 2 red sofa's, a glass door closed behind me with someone banging on to try and get in desperately, suddenly an alarm went off. I tried to open the glass door but it wouldn't budge, then i saw the person get mauled by 3 infected people, my friend was no longer here.

I ran and jumped up onto a small ledge in the room and climbed out of a window, it was a very small window like the kind you would get in a bathroom or public toilet area.

I slid down a pipe and had 2 infected chasing me, i sprinted across the garden seeing a fire axe on a ledge which i snatched up, i spun around and smashed one of the infected in the head and it dropped to the ground, as i kept running i saw my friend running from a pack of 5 of them, one was carrying a shovel and it hit her on the back of the head and i saw her drop.

I changed the direction that i was running in to try to avoid them but they were too close, i had fear running through me aswell as anger and adrenaline.

I spun around to hit another and fight off the one with a shovel.

I woke up.







This next one i remember being a very very long dream with a sort of full story but i can't remember everything i just know
The part i remember is just as i turned lucid.

I was leaping across some roof tops, the buildings were white and metal and sort of futuristic.
I remember turning lucid and i began to rub my hands together and i sort of stayed in, but then my dream began to fade again.
I shook my head really quickly and i suddenly became extremely aware again
"this must be a great way to stay lucid" i thought, so i shook my head again and my eyes closed into blackness (usually happening when im about to wake up and open my eyes from sleep)
As i knew it i woke up, i quickly went back to sleep again to try and WILD, i felt myself falling into my dream but then i woke back out (so so close to a sucessful WILD).

I lay in bed with my eyes closed and before i knew it i was back in my dream.
Suddenly there was a huge explosion and everything was rising up around me, i held my hands out (not lucid anymore) and began trying to attain telekenesis, gravity around me just stopped and everything began to float weightlessly.

Through the smoke and the orange fire'd up sky i saw someone, i walked towards him, he had black hair quite tanned and no top on with a tattoo on his back as if he had wings at the top of his back.
He was wearing shades and turned around and smiled, he held up his hand horizontally and some green retro glasses floated towards me spinning slowly.

"You can do this too?" I though maybe it was him stopping gravity not myself, so i charged all the inner energy i had and tried to lift the ground, it wasnt working "what is happening? what does this mean?" i thought.

I then tried again and the dirt began to rise up and i woke.

This was a dream I had again while I was a child but still remember it today although I wish I wrote it down when I was younger.

I was around 10 or 11.

I found myself on top of a hill in my town. Everything was normal except on 1 side of the hill there was a crazy looking monkey. Almost like the monkey from Family guy (although the dream was before Family guy existed). This monkey would mimic my moves almost perfectly. This made me scared. I remember trying to run down the hill but the hill's streets turned into logs. I was stumbling on the logs and I noticed the monkey wasn't having any issue at all getting over the logs. I also should mention the logs were floating on water.

I ended up falling into the water and being transformed into another dream.

This other dream I found myself under water which also scared me. I don't like dark water and sure enough this water was black. Only the surface was black though once I was under the water it looked clear but I could tell I was in water. I then suddenly was on top of a dolphin. The dolphin brought me to the surface and I could see how magical the world looked. The sky was bright pink and the landscape was full of bright colors. I could then tell the dolphin wanted to go back under the water but this scared me. I wanted to stay above where it was nice and bright but I couldn't control the dolphin and soon enough it went back into the black abyss. This dream went on for hours and soon I found myself being able to control where the dolphin went and I also discovered I could breathe under water. Then I awoke.

This was my first lucid dream as a child. I was probably 11 or 12.

I still remember pieces of it now and I'm 26.

I found myself in a mall. The mall had no stores but for some reason I knew I was inside a mall. I kept walking down this very long pathway closed by walls and I only had the choice to go forward or backwards. I continue to go forward until I reached this massive gum ball machine. For some reason this massive gum ball machine made me realize I was in a dream. I instantly became aware that everything I was doing was simply a dream. I then looked at my hand and thought, can I transform this hand into a weapon of some sort (I was into first person shooters/violent video games) surely enough my right hand transformed into a chain gun. I immedately start shooting down the walls and soon enough there was nothing left. I then remember just seeing blue sky and I thought maybe I can fly. I then instantly started flying and I thought where can I go? I then directed myself to a beach.

I was 11/12 so you can imagine the next thing I thought of....well it was women. I ended up having sex with around 4 women before I woke up.
