Nonlucid, Lucid, Partially lucid

After a month-long dry spell, I finally had another lucid dream and attempted to visit the Dream World Academy. But I didn't get much further than last time.

August 5, 2011: I am walking down a hallway, looking for something. I open a door and it slides open rather than swinging open. I think this is odd and I realize I am dreaming.

I remember my task and I say aloud that I am going to the Dreamworld Academy castle. I step outside and see a huge black cloud in the sky. I go back inside and try again. This time there is a giant castle that reaches up to the sky, like a single tower. I look straight up but I cannot see the top of the castle.
Then I remember that I had meant to go directly to the entrance hall. I see a fountain nearby that I am going to use as a button to transport me inside the castle.

But instead i just call out my intent, putting my hands up over my head. I begin to fly, then lose lucidity.

I have dropped a notebook. It is floating in water below me. I am floating in the air with an inflatable tube. I let some of the air out to go down closer to the ground. The notepad washes up on a beach.

The castle looked something like this (quickly drawn in MS Paint):

notes

I was leaving a convenience store with a drink, and I got into a truck with a few old friends. I was in the back (extended cab) with another guy, and there were two in the front seats also. As we pulled out of the parking lot, I saw that the 'road' ahead of us was not much of a road at all, but a mountainside with sheer drop-offs into water and extremely rocky terrain. My friend Joe, who was driving, decided to take us straight down into the worst of it.. prompting us all to grab on tightly to the handholds on the ceiling of the truck. What ensued was a crazy ride that had us all yelling and cussing- partly from excitement and partly from fear.

Then, rather suddenly, I was sitting in the truck- alone- out back behind my house. My close friends Luke and Jake (who are brothers) were outside, and a train was coming through my backyard. Now, there are train tracks very close to my house, but this was a separate set that was coming right through where the swimming pool should have been. They both pointed it out to me and asked "Isn't that odd?" At first, I rationalized it in the dream and told them that the railroad had recently added those tracks.. Then I realized that NONE of the old pool stuff was there, the deck, etc, like it was back to the way it was before the pool even went in. The thought occurred to me that "surely they weren't able to make it look like that stuff had never been here.. and so quickly.." That's when it hit me.. lucid!

I didn't even do my normal immediate RC, I just told them all that I was dreaming. I started to summon myself a flying mount (thanks to my cool experience with one in my last lucid). I spent a good bit of time experimenting with different mounts, and practiced resizing them (and resizing myself some too) to make them fit. I summoned a small dog, then made him big enough for me to ride. I also tried summoning a zebra, but it kept having a dog's head. I was having a hard time envisioning a zebra head, then I looked to the ground and saw little zebra-head plants everywhere (lol), which allowed me to shape the head properly.

During this time I also remembered to try eye drops, so I fished some out of my pocket (I always carry eye drops in my pocket anyway, so this was no dream magic or anything) and put them in. I didn't notice any immediate effect, but after a few minutes, the dream world did become much clearer and more vivid. I think this was probably all in my expectation. I have lamented the fact before that it takes eye drops a few minutes to actually clear my eyes in real life, so that's no doubt why it took awhile in the dream (I was acting on KingYoshi's suggestion to try eye drops in his dream control class).

Anyway, I finally crafted myself a gryphon (of sorts) to fly on, and I headed out to find the Dream World Academy (for real this time, not just get close to it like I have done twice before). I reached the canyon in which the Academy lay rather quickly, but as I got close, I felt myself being pulled down- as if I were having trouble maintaining my flight. I have had some issues with flying in my last couple of lucids (which is unusual for me), and I feared I was having trouble again. However, I looked back and noticed that there was actually *something* hanging onto my foot and pulling me down. I couldn't get a good look at it (I was riding a gryphon after all), but I kicked it loose and suddenly was flying smoothly again.

Almost immediately the forest canopy on the canyon floor (which had harbored the academy before) disappeared and the Academy was in full view! The architecture did not appear to be normal human construction. I was directly over the 'castle,' and was unable to see how tall it was or how the sides looked. It had 6 sides, but was not a regular hexagon. Instead, it was shaped like a triangle except that the 3 'points' of the triangle were actually straight lines, as if the 'points' had been flattened out. There were towers at each of these points, and the walls of the Academy were wide enough for several people to walk abreast freely between the towers.

The top of the Academy inside the walls was covered in a giant pool of sparkling blue water. I couldn't tell how deep the water was, but it covered the entire area inside the triangular walls. There were octagonal platforms scattered throughout the water, connected by a network of small footpaths. These platforms were COVERED with people, conversing with each other in some alien tongue (I say alien because it did not sound like any human language that I have ever heard), and generally busying about, conducting their work. The 'people' were also alien-looking.. light-blue skinned with intense and brightly colored eyes. Several seemed alarmed at my descent onto the Castle-top, and began speaking loudly and excitedly at me in that strange language. With their intense eyes and crazy words, they were a bit intimidating.

Finally, I noticed a large floor lift near one of the corner towers (it had a weird, angular shape. sort of octagonal but not exactly). I hopped on it, and it lowered me down into the bowels of the Academy. I walked off the lift, through a short sloping hallway with a semi-arched ceiling into what appeared to be some type of "control room," though I can't really say what the room was for. It was here that I finally saw humans, including a woman who appeared to be 'Mariel,' whom I had encountered on my previous search for the Academy.

At this point, I got so into the dream and what was around me that I began to lose lucidity. I felt woozy and laid down on a bench along the wall. Mariel began to stroke my back and reassure me that everything was OK. I lost all lucidity at this point, then quickly remembered myself and closed my eyes, relaxed, and opened them expecting to find myself in the same room. I did, but all the people there had changed from DCs that I had not recognized into people very familiar to me. Then.. WAAH WAHH WAAHH, my alarm went off and woke me up! d'oh!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

After waking, I used the bathroom and went back to bed (the alarm was an early one that I intentionally set a few hours before I actually have to get up). I went back to sleep with the intention/expectation of having another lucid dream..

I found myself riding in a car with some younger kids that I didn't know. I got out my cell phone and one of them warned me about a new law that made it illegal to text in a car, even if you weren't driving. I said that was complete BS, but they insisted it was true. I am an attorney, so I asked them where they heard that and exactly what the law said. They handed me a flier, and I was reading it as I got out of the car and walked with them to a swimming pool where a party was going on.

I was looking around at the people at the party, and I noticed that Miley Cyrus was one of them.. I thought to myself.. "I don't know Miley Cyrus.. this is a dream!"

I was already at the pool, so I decided to try some crazy dives using my dream powers. I lept WAY up in the air and did at least 3 somersaults, planning on squeezing in at least 5 before splashdown.. Problem is.. I closed my eyes during the jump and the spinning motion caused me to lose the dream AND my lucidity. This seems strange now since dream spinning has worked to PROLONG LDs for me in the past, but that is what happened.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Next thing I knew, I was in a new (non-lucid) dream walking down some stairs, but I was holding the same pamphlet about the cell phone law that I was given earlier. I thought 'I was just having a lucid dream a few minutes ago, I wonder if I am dreaming now..' but that didn't stick and I kept walking- remaining in a non-lucid dream.

My phone rang, and the name said Andy Bargo.. I thought 'I don't know an Andy Bargo.. Oh, it must be one of the kids I met earlier in the car." I answered, and it was a different person- an older man that I knew was having some medical issues. He told me a story about insurance companies dicking him around, and asked if we had grounds to sue them. I was thinking that his story seemed pretty ridiculous, and then I remembered (for the second time) that I had been having an LD just a few minutes ago. This time, it DID hit me that I must be in another dream.

I told him he was crazy and I was dreaming, hung up the phone, and starting a convo with the nearest DC about how I was dreaming. He said that was cool, but seemed uninterested. I looked out and saw a pink and purple bicycle laying on it's side on the grass and levitated it. I asked him "Is that bike levitating for you?" He said "No, it's just sitting on the grass..." I started to run some other similar tests to see how he would react to my dream control, but alas, I woke up.

All in all, interesting night. First time I can remember that I had 3 distinct LDs in one night, although the 2nd two were much shorter than the first. I'm glad I finally found the Academy, but I definitely still have some work to do with stabilizing and allowing myself to get into the dream (i.e. play a role and use passive control) without losing lucidity. I can see how people chain LDs from this experience, as my memory of an earlier LD was instrumental in causing me to become lucid again.

Non-Lucid Lucid False Awakening
It was the last day of school and there was this parent interview going on. I was crying into my old blue Billabong rucksack and Mrs Clegg was saying "Bye" and all that stuff. We was at my old school hall which had a new skate park in it. Me and my mum walked into the storage cupboard where an old woman was sitting. She wore a black/red cloak and looked slightly like a fortune teller! She was talking about stuff like there is evil outside and only I can save the world from it. She gave me some piano notes then told me to play this tune as soon as possible. I didn't believe her and stuffed the notes in my pocket. My mum and brother go home safely while I stay at school for about half an hour. I then go outside and start walking down the hill then weird looking creatures come up to me. About halfway down the hill, a monster asked me if I would like to come to a carnival! I said "No Thanks." and carried on. A creature hissed at me then at the bottom of the hill, 2 creatures said they like eating bearded dragons. "We have only managed to find 2." They said. I say to them "Go to Australia!" So they go. I suddenly get scared and rush back to the old woman. She has a massive queue of people for her so there is no point and I head home again. There is lots of monsters everywhere so I realize I am dreaming. I quickly forget this and suddenly poof home! I enter my flat and go to the piano. I looked at the notes but had no idea what they were. I had never heard this tune in my life but I managed to play it excellent! There is a massive bright blue light and I go to the beginning of the dream again. This is weird so I once again realize I am dreaming then forget. As I already know how the dream ends, I agree to go to the carnival and I say I will be there in 5-10 minutes. I then come cross the hisser and the two lizard eaters. Before they can even speak, I say "Go to Australia." They are amazed. I then realize and forget I am dreaming again! They say "Ok thanks for the tip, we only found 2 so far." I didn't think it would be my beardie so I relaxed and poofed home again! I then got seriously freaked out as my dad was lying on the doorstep injured. I dashed inside (Realize then forget AGAIN) and told my mum. She didn't care so I got annoyed at her. "A life is a life." I say. I then see that the piano was not in the living room so I looked everywhere and it turned out to be in my mums room! My grandma was staying there though so I told her to shut up for a sec. She is Polish but in the dream she could understand and speak fluent English! She was listening to the radio through the lid of this washing up stuff: I know it sounds weird. Anyway, I took the stuff and put it on the kitchen table away which is the furthest room from my mums room. I go back but my grandma is now listening to music through headphones which is blaring out because she was not wearing the headphones the right way. They were behind her ears not in them and facing outward! I pointed this out and explained my dad was injured on the doorstep. She ignored me so I kept repeating it louder each time till I screamed and asked her how I could save dad without playing the piano. She reminded me in a calm voice (that wasnt hers ) that it was a dream and I said "Oh Yeah." "Try and wake yourself up!" She said. So I closed my eyes tight and lifted my head up quickly while opening them. I had an FA without realizing but luckily it wasn't the monster dream again. Suddenly a little message popped up in the corner of the dream like a facebook notification (?) so I clicked it with a mouse. I then transported to a massive audience with a photo of my teddy, Little Vampy. (He's On Facebook ) At least 10,000 people! Everyone was discussing whether it was real or not and I assured everyone that he is not real. BAM "Im Dreaming" BAM Forget. There was then a big food fight but only one person at a time was allowed to throw food. Zachary came up to me and was about to throw an egg in my face when my dad said "NOT THE FACE NOT THE FACE!!!!" When I saw dad alive lets just say I knew I was dreaming then I forgot. Zachary threw the egg at my leg. I looked at someone's facebook profile picture which was them merged with a shark. I was bored of the dream then I realized im dreaming but this time I DID NOT FORGET! I tried the FA thing again but woke up for real! I luckily had a brief awakening with another dream about my crush.


for reading this incredibly long dream! x

Melatonin, memory powder w/ Ginko
I saw my sister's plants. They were in a jar, when they normally were not. I saw in the jar were 2 very small moles, and a baby. They were the size of half of a chapstick? They squeeled and turned red when I held them in my hands. They had teeth like a rat.
I was in the bathroom and I think Harmony and Haraboji (my Korean grandparents) were home. I changed into my teal Aeropostle sweater and began to observe things in the bathroom.
I was in my elementary school when all of a sudden the Mabinogi(my shitty ass RPG) event began. Everyone was killing these really big dark boar looking thing and recieved these nice items. I began to kill them too and made space in my inventory. I had to summon my pets to make more space for items. I saw this one girl hitting the dark figures with her bear hands, and I walked over there with my ostrich and said, bear hands hm? And she said yeah. I went over to this boulder/wood thing over to the woods and flipped it over to see if it had any items, an hell it didn't. After a while I walked closer to the benches and began to try on the clothes. They were just a bunch of cat items. I saw that the REALLY small cat mouth piece was 900k. I tried on ears, a paw, and etc. There was this one categorie in my inventory labeled: these are not to be made porn and I looked at it like what the fuck? After a while, I saw the students in my school, all running over to this one guy to congradulate him. Then some jackass from afar started making whale noises. Everyone else began to make whale noises. Then I thought, this would be cool if I were dreaming or something, then I became lewcid! I tried my best to calm down, and looked at the big cover building where the students would play as the gym. It had a big "JCPenny's" or "Macy's" label on it. I looked to my left and saw students coming in from the woods area. I saw this one asian kid that I didnt really like wearing a black Adidas outfit with pink stripes along the arm. I walked over to one of the buildings to have this one girl pretty much maul me and complain how her birthday is the same day as this one girls, and she was leaning around me. I told her "that's a big coincidence!" while sticking my hands up because I felt awkward then she also mentioned how her moms birthday was 10 days later as well. Thank god I woke up.

Do as Much as You Can! (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in my bedroom lying down. For some reason, I knew the dream was ending. I was awake, kept my eyes closed, and visualized the dream scene that I just saw. The dream was still in my bedroom, so I plugged my nose. I was still able to breathe! I knew I was dreaming. I got up from my bed slowly and I walked through my living room. Some blonde girl was on my couch, but I ignored her. I had a goal that I wanted to accomplish for once, and that was to be able to fly. Before I went outside, I said that there will be a trampoline next to my pool. I figured this would help me with gaining height and momentum, which will make flying easier.

I went outside, and there the trampoline was. I stepped on the trampoline, and I started to jump. This is when I realized how small this trampoline, with red lining, was. I almost couldn't fit on it. Still, I jumped as high as I can and... nothing. I couldn't fly. I wasn't going to give up on this, since I was able to spawn a trampoline. Instead of jumping, I thought to myself, "no gravity". All of a sudden, I was floating/flying! I flew up so high that I was able to see most of the world. It looked pretty cartoony. I flew to the north, where South America was oddly located. I got back onto the land, and I was in some mountains. They looked like the mountains near Bruma in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I think there was a man there, but I am not sure.

Now that I was able to fly, I wanted to try something I heard some people have trouble with, which is getting to the moon. I shot up into the air like a rocket, and in front of me I saw the moon. I made a space helmet appear on my head, just in case. It was still a long way to get there, and I didn't want to risk flying there just for the dream to end. Instead, I decided to try another skill: teleportation. I imagined that I was on the moon, and I was on some mountains found on the moon. The moon looked really weird, though, as there were a lot of green spots all over it. I decided that I would try to go to another spot on the moon, but instead of thinking of a crater on the moon, I thought of a crater on Jupiter. I started falling down towards Jupiter, so I imagined I was on the moon again. I appeared on Jupiter's moon instead. It actually was just a tiny asteroid that I had to hold on to to stay on it. I had enough of space, so I teleported again.

This time, I teleported underwater. It was pretty green and murky under the water I was in, and I thought about fighting underwater ninja fish, but then I stopped myself since I thought I read it before on DV. There were these fish with huge jaws that were wearing helmets, though, but they ignored me. I swam to the surface, and there I saw a beautiful waterfall, and there was land nearby. I went on the land and imagined little monsters around me. They appeared, and they had a slug body, but the face of a triceratops. They were green and blue, but they were also really cute, so I did not kill them. After that, I went up a step and decided I will make something more creative. I created a new pokemon, and it looked really cool. It was like a Pokey from Mario, except there were all of these crazy shapes, Pokey faces, and a cat head at the top. It was sort of like a totem pole. All of the little monsters I spawned earlier surrounded it.

The dream slipped away from me, as I felt it was. I kept my eyes closed, and imagined the dream again. I was back in the dream, but I was in the mountains that I saw before. I knew I was dreaming right away. I thought I would fly to Australia, since a man told me I should fly the other way this time. I said "no gravity", was high in the air, and started plummeting to my doom. I said "no gravity" once more, and this time, I was fine and started floating up. I went so high that I could see the whole view of earth, just so I can be sure about where Australia was. It was right under North America, oddly. I flew towards Australia and dropped down right in the water next to it. For some reason, Australia was really small. No, it wasn't small. I was really big! The people were the size of ants, and there was a lot of snow on the ground. I walked north, and I came into a cave, where I was normal sized again. People were river rafting in the cave.

The dream ended.

Before I start, I am thinking about changing the way I do my dream journal. I really sure put decent titles as the date is already recorded by the feature itself. I also thinking about going the color code thing also as it seem many users enjoy it.

Today is not that day though, I want to quickly write these down before I forget about the little details.

Fragment 1:

I was somewhere and a guy told me when I get to a non-existing town on a game call Legends of Yore (real game: http://www.legendsofyore.com/ quite fun too) I should look for a purple sign that tell me where to go. It seem like this system was made by me. O_o. It a way to tell players where to go but making them aware that they are spoilers.

Anyway once I go to the inn in the non-existing town which remind me of Varrock on runescape...Quite big for a town on LoY. I found a NPC. I was told he will give me 3 things.

1. A robe that can't be gotten any other way. (The item exist, I saw it in the codes but it never was put in the game)
2. A quest which is to make a weak armor get 100% exp/charge. The system don't exist on LoY but I was noted that you can do the quest twice for some reason.
3. I honestly forgot...Money maybe?

Dream 1:

I dream that I was at school that I no longer go to in my underwear (not boxer...Plain white underwear) which is a common dream correct?

What make this odd is that the dream characters were basically giving me the thumbs up for it. Some guy while I was walking down the stairs said something like "Nice snake" with a friendly/approval voice.

I went outside in middle of the court yard. Our school is freaking huge and the court yard can be seen by like 90% of the school through windows. At this point I didn't care I was in my underwear but I still wanted to get dress and I somehow knew that there was something to wear in my bookbag that I magical just got on my back.

I was going to ask my teacher if I can go to a restroom and get dress (dream logic...I have no clue what keeping me from getting dress on the spot but to be fair I honestly didn't think about that until I start writing this.) I didn't have a chance to speak as every classroom was in the court yard ready to get a lesson on something.

There was a dead squirrel in the middle of the yard. No one pay any mind to it. The teacher was saying something about squirrels leaving themselves while open while having sex. lol wut...

There was squirrels like freaking everywhere on the roof of our school. I pointed a few out by request of the teacher. She start explaining crap that I didn't listen to. At one point she said something like "killing a squirrel while they are having sex is like a human getting shot by a sniper" which then she said something like "who would want to do something like that?" which a kid quickly respond with "After you said that I kinda want to now" which my best friend said "I know right!"

My dream was quite funny that night.

The kid with the quick response was a big kid name John though he look like a stereotypical black giant that should be in jail which is like anti-John.

Fragment 2:

My friend hated me for making her join up some class with a name like "Science life study" or something like that but more dream-like. Her class of choice was like "life science study".

Anyway this time I was wearing something in was sitting in class. My Japanese teacher was being a bitch though she didn't give us any work...It was like she was on her period or something...Just woke up on the wrong side of the bed kind of angry.

The teacher walk up behind me and I notice something...This is a dream.

[lucid]

I wanted my dream character friend to laugh so I said "watch this" and pick up a book. I beat the hell out of the teacher by hitter her where her Adam apple would be then smacking her head a few times while I was still sitting down.

She was flat on the floor and my friend was laughing and didn't seem to care about the teacher safety. Maybe because it was a dream or because the teacher was a bitch earlier...No clue on the reason.

The teacher magical back up sitting on her chair. The friend stated something like "Do you have a tickle on your neck?" which the teacher response with a no. Seem like the teacher forgotten what I have done.

I sadly woke up shortly as this fragment happened when I fell asleep after waking up from my main dream. Normally this wouldn't be an achievement for me but I have became lucid two nights in a row.

05-08-11 I am in holland again, I am outside and I am sleeping, though I am partially awake. There is chatter in the background and I believe they wouldn't actually wake me up, due to me having specified having an interest in dreams and sleep.

I keep waking up and looking out down towards the garage. At one point Ant comes over, I hear him before I see him and he intends on waking me up in a rather funny, but unpleasant matter. He intends to pour a glass of pickled cucumber over my face.

As he approaches I look up and laugh a bit, he doesn't seem to want to stop so I look at him, still smiling and start making some physically impossible move and tell him to lay off or “there will be violence”.

He lays off and we decide to head out. We head towards a supermarket at first and I am quickly left behind. I think about Ida who is standing a bit ahead and I think it is fair enough she doesn't want me anyways, I have little interest in her anyways. However it does spark a hint of emotional discomfort though no way near as much as usual.

As I am climbing over the wall I look down and I see a blue beetle that is best described as a mixture of a lady bug and a LEGO Duplo piece, with legs. I hear Ruth shouting to the others “He is coming I have just seen him jump”.

I notice how gracefully I jump both down the wall and past a couple of people over a pool of water. I notice my dream sign that I am capable of parcour. I become lucid.

I start looking around and fly a bit. I am in a city that seems like a crossover between Århus and Amsterdam. The rest of the crew is in a warehouse on the top floor and when I see them I start flying up towards them.

On the way up there I decide to try out some spider man stuff instead and I procede to crawling up the wall. Close up the wall is mostly redish with a lot of black to gray texture in it. The way I am stuck to the wall is remarkable in the way that I don't seem stuck as such, but it feels like my hands and feet are magnetically attached to the wall.

I start thinking if there is somethng I am supposed to do. I have decided to give the confidence issues a bit of a rest and decide to go playful. What is the TotM. Get a DC to sing and go to the chocolate factory, right.

I let go and drop to street level. I burst out in song in order to get the rest of the many DCs on the street to join me. I think I am going with “Dangerzone” off top gun, but no one seems to join in except a guy from behind me across the street and he just shouts Danger!

That won't hold up and I get a bit annoyed.

I ask to ladies walking by if they want to sing for me, but they refuse.

I think at this point the dream starts to fade and I command it to come back verbally. Things go blank and as the dream comes back it feels like I have one eye open in waking life and one in the dream world. I have felt like this before though and this time I decide to just ignore it.

I command the dream to stabilize and between that and ignoring the open eye syndrome (Coined!). I get the dream back on track. I run into a tanned guy wearing a yellow sports T-shirt with a sports bag over his shoulder.

I ask him to sing for me, but he only looks at me briefly before he turns sround, take on an arrogant attitude and tells me that he won't. Now I am getting angry so I grab hold of him place my hands on both sides of his face and looks him in the eyes. I briefly think of vampire compulsion, glamour or whatever you want to call it and start talking to him.

He stares blankly at me.

“God damn, this is my dream and I am sick and tired of getting refused”
He reples with an astounding empty stare.
“Now you will sing to me!”
He starts singing “Happy birthday to you...”
“Yeah yeah that will do” It is boring and not my birthday, but task accomplished.
“Why do you need me to sing for you?” he asks
“Don't worry about it, you have done your part thank you”
“You keep information tight, don't you”
“As I said, this is a dream, so once you have been integrated with my consciousness again you will understand”

Now to the chocolate factory. I immediately think about doors. I have to find a door and expect the chocolate factory to be on the other side. It is getting darker, but I find a door inside a building and try and will the chocolate factory on the other side.

When I open the door I expect a portal to be there, though I only find a white canvas. I try it out and try and walk through it. It is difficult in particular my head doesn't really seem to be willing to. After a couple of minutes of faffing around inside a door that isn't a door the dream starts fading.

I pull the move I tried out before and when I come back in the dream again things have changed slightly. The scenery is darker and I am not sure what is going on. I am pretty sure I am dreaming, but I am uncertain so I pull a hand RC. Sure enough.

I was trying to open a portal to the chocolate factory, right onwards. I spot something that looks like a hotel up the road. I walk to it and prepare for the door to be a portal.

Now unfortunately the front door is made of glass, so it will be difficult imagining anything but the hotel I can see through the glass door. So I decide to walk through it and find another door I can try with.

As I open it there is no portal behind it, but a small passage way and a mirror at the end.

A mirror, that is interesting. That could be used as a portal, but first I observe my self reflection flicker in the mirror. It isn't like anything is missing, but my reflection is there one moment and gone the next flicking on and off.

I decide to hop through it and having learned from the first experience I go through head first. I manage to get my entire body fully through and then I just hover there. I start falling a bit and I figure that will work, never done portals before I don't know what to expect.

I keep falling and eventually looking up I see a door, I reach up for the handle and try and pull myself through, however I wake up just as I get the door open.
…

I am with some superhero crew. We are gathering some black obsidian bars, that are to be transformed into a single adamantium bar. I proclaim to someone that it is stupid to try and do that since adamantium can't be altered. I wonder if Stark can do it seeing as it is him collecting.

Notes: Third night in a row with a lucid. The technique of awakening from a night of dreaming, trying to recollect them and then go back to sleep seems to work wonders. Though I didn't have many dreams to recollect this morning the Obsidian/adamantium dream was fresher in my mind, but I have spent much time with my niece while writing down the dream, so memories have faded a bit.

[This is a catch-up post. These dreams are from the night of July 22-23, 2011.]

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

I'm at a big, old house that is now a tourist site. It's a bit like Hearst Castle, only older, in a different architectural style, and not on a hill. Tourists can enter either the house itself to go on a tour, or they can enter a large theater to watch a movie about the house. The space in between the house and the theater is an enclosed, carpeted lobby. While I'm in that space, I give another tourist directions to the main entrance to the house: “Go down there, turn left, go up the ramp, then turn right and go through the doors.” The ramp is long and slopes gently upward.

In addition to the large, main theater, the complex also has a ride of some kind with seats that are suspended on long bars from an overhead track. Riders board the ride by strapping themselves into the seats when they are within small, circular, mobile theater pods. These theater pods show a movie about the era in between the heyday of the large house and the present day, that is, the house's early days as a tourist attraction, before it had a visitors' center. The pods also can move around on legs and have motion-simulator functionality. I get into one of the pods 'backwards,' by riding on one of the seats as it comes into the pod from the unloading station. Other riders also board the pod, and then the movie begins.

[I'm not absolutely sure, but I think] It was at this point that I woke up for a very brief WBTB (just a few minutes, which is about how long I usually wake up for in the middle of the night). I remembered very well what I had just been dreaming about, and focused on it while I was awake. As I was going back to sleep, I thought, I wonder if I can get back into the same dream I was just in. [Amazingly,] I succeeded in doing so.

The mobile theater pod moves out into the street that runs past the big, old house, which is part of the ride. While it's out in the street, the pod is boarded by small, roundish creatures, Expies of The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything [from “VeggieTales”]. After they've boarded the pod, instead of proceeding to attack and plunder it, they decide to go inside the visitors' center to get some Starbucks. This gives me time to escape from the pod and run for help. I escape from the pod and start walking along the sidewalk. Somewhere around here, I realize that I'm dreaming, but I don't want to interrupt the dream plot already in progress; it's interesting and exciting, so I go along with it. I start searching for the main, public entrance to the tourist site. I pass by what appears to be the main entrance and go to a gift shop. The gift shop is filled with a lot of red decorations and red objects, mainly Christmas decorations. I sit down in a chair and get into a conversation with the store attendant. While I'm talking to her, my thoughts stray and the impact of the thought, “Whoa, I'm dreaming” hits me fairly hard. I am suddenly overcome by a strong feeling of sleepiness, and close my eyes. Then I remember that I'll lose the dream if I do that, and open them again. I'm still right where I was.

I tell the tour guide about the mobile theater pod being attacked by pirates, and ask, “Do you have a security guard?” She shows me where there is one waiting behind a service counter, and sends him back out onto the street with me. When we're on the street, I notice that there are “floating” vehicles on it and feel dismayed that the sci-fi future is actually here. Then I notice that at least the larger vehicles do have tractor treads, in addition to the pink, glowing force fields I see under all the vehicles. The security guard goes to the mobile theater pod and apprehends the pirates [at least, I suppose he did; I don't really remember that part of the dream].

[Different dream.] A man has been captured and locked in handcuffs. A dog brings him a key in its mouth, so he can get out of them. He does so. Then, his captor approaches and, seeing that he's out of the handcuffs, says to him, “I expected you'd be out of those by now.” The man replies, “I already am.”

[Different dream.] I'm showing some guy how to properly arrange the cord for and use the mouse on my computer.

[I may or may not have been lucid for this one, I'm not sure.] P. and I are both making cakes with a little bit of dough, under Mom's guidance. My piece of dough is bigger than P.'s. We mix ingredients into the dough with our hands. We're in the kitchen/dining room of House #1, and the cake pans are sitting on the floor under the dining table. We pick them up from there to put the dough in them. Before I put my dough in my cake pan, I run a little bit of tap water onto it, and it shrinks to the size of P.'s piece of dough. That's good, and a relief; I'd been concerned that I'd initially taken more than my fair share when we divided the dough, and when we added the other ingredients.

I was talking to my grandmother when her face became that of my Aunt (dead for over a year). I hated her in RL on a cellular level.
She Said:

"Only travel if you're alone"

this dream stood out and had the 'listen up' vibe I take care to pay attention to.

Dream; Semi-Lucid; Lucid; Memorable; 1-4 My Recollection;

Best Lucid in awhile.
Kelsey and Kelsey in a room, 4; flying on top of castle, spinning and rubbing hands,
Tickle woke me. Don't spin too long.

This lucid was quite long lasting and I was able to have some fun doing a few tests that I been meaning to try.

[non-lucid]

I was in my old house with my brother. We seem to be quite young and we used to have a bump beds. For anyone who don't know, owning a bump bed as a child was just as grand as owning a pool or any other giant play thing. Though it was simply a bed stack on top of another.

Anyway we were playing around on the top bump and the discussion of the spiders we had killed over time have pop up. I said something like "remember that giant yellow one?" which at this point I was on the ground. I then notice a harmless grand daddy longlegs (very toxic poison but to humans quite harmless) but then I notice the yellow spider I spoke of then notice like 4 other spiders on the wall.

I ran into my living room of my old house and hop on top of a chair. Two dragonflies (lol wut, they not even spiders) appeared on the table in front of me. I of course was scare though they were quite harmless. I believe I saw my dad but like most dream characters he was speechless and just stand there like a doll.

I ran outside and not only that but ran to the middle of the street. At that point I became somewhat lucid.

[lucid]

I look at my hand and start to wonder what the hell is going on here. Of course I then notice this was a dream. I jump and float up in the air. O god how much I love flying.

I turn my body and start searching for the moon, I always wonder what it would be like to fly to it as fast as my dream self could take me. I saw it and try to take off but my body don't seem that fast. I landed myself and try again from the ground. Nope.

Floating is good enough for now. I have no need to force myself awake just because one goal was not achieved. I live on West Main meaning there is a very long highway I can travel on. My goal now was to see how far I can go before my memory vs dream take effect on my surroundings. I thought about flying to the sun but that just to bright, it would have easily wake myself up. It was twilight if you were wondering.

I was floating and of course the cars don't mind me. I was going over the cars in a nice pace. At one point there seem to be a slope that don't exist. I was force to float higher and a car almost touch me. Not a big deal.

A 2nd railroad appear then a 3rd. These shouldn't be there and three trains were going at once. a train was going on my right while one is coming to my left. I didn't want to be between the two as that would be quite annoying. I floated on top of the left train and start running on top of it for fun.

At this point I wanted to try to fly like Super Sonic style and see if I could go to the moon that way but to my right(?) something caught my eye. At this point the dream was becoming unstable but somehow I didn't notice it. I not sure how I even got to it but I was in a forest if you can even call it that. The trees were spread apart enough so a small room could fit inside at any given location.

I was many young ladies dancing around with a giant fake looking leaf. They were all blond but with curry hair. Not my type of blond but I not much of a complainer in my dreams. They were wearing skin tight suits with the zipper looking part reaching to their private areas (too lazy to get the official name for that area) and I know they should be my dream version of fairies but they was human sized wearing a green skin tight suit with fake wings on their backs.

They wasn't even wings...It just a pattern on the outfit. One look like she want to have sex. I not a sexual type of guy myself and having sex in a dream is the last thing I want to do in my dreams. I thought my time is ending so may as well do an experiment and see what would happen.

I walk up to her and grab her arms...She seem happy enough. I throw her and myself to the ground which normally would hurt like hell and ruin the mood at any other given time but in my dreams something so simple wouldn't cause pain. Though I could totally have my way with her and even gave a face that shout "I going to rape you" she still seem happy enough.

These fairies wasn't faceless like most of my other dream characters, so it was quite disappointing that she didn't give a will of her own like try to fight back. I woke up. The though of sex and the plan of having sex with her didn't exist...Maybe she knew I was just testing my subconscious?

I quite enjoy this dream and the time spent lucid must been at least 80% of the dream. I getting quite good at this myself. I fell asleep at least 3 times before getting the strength to get up and write this down so my recall is getting damn good.

Overall this was a great achievement. I may be able to fly to the moon next time.
