lucid

Gotta find the right fit
I was some kind of coast guard or sea sanitation worker, and noticed Boyd Fowler (of Dexter) kill someone or dump a body into the sea. He was not alone, he was accompanied by the gay assassin from The Mechanic. I tried to sneak up on them, and to apprehend Boyd with a butterfly net (for some reason), but was noticed, and they almost killed me. They got in their jeep and chased me around the nearby parking lot, but I kept hiding between cars and jumping over them (I generally have that superpower in my dreams).

There's a little gap here, like in a movie, where they've gotten annoyed and left, and I've somehow followed them, though I'm watching "myself" in third person. It seems Boyd sees me, but isn't going to give me away, but the other guy notices him looking over his shoulder and sees me, raising the alarm. I end up in a tree, telling them I've called in FBI investigators and enforcers, and they're screwed. It turns out the FBI woman in charge is Boyd's fiancé, and is supposed to (because it's a movie) defect to him and cause more problems. The character doesn't really want to, though, because she loves her job, so a series of similar-looking women show up. One also likes her job more than she does Boyd, but one does not, so the others leave and she becomes the new FBI woman. Eventually, I simply agree that I'm on Boyd's side (because I have a pretty sketchy sense of morality when I'm in physical danger), and start coming down from the tree.

I'm taking what class?
I was a strange combination of my old school (the one I attended from grades 9-11) and my older school (grades 7 and 8), wandering around, noticing a few attractive women (who I failed to hit on!) around. Something indicated to me that it was time for class, and so I wandered around again, trying to find my Drama classroom. Eventually, I found a sympathetic teacher, who helped me find the class, as it was right beside his. This part of the school was reminiscent of my grade 7-8 school, as the top floor was all "open-concept" classrooms.

I got to my Drama class from behind, and there were a few people sitting on a couch, with the teacher in a chair nearby. Hoping to achieve either humor or inconspicuousness, I vaulted the back of the couch, and landed almost perfectly. The teacher did notice me, however, and chided that I'd missed most of the class. I began to explain what had occurred, when she cut me off "I know, I know, he called me" ("he" being the teacher I'd run in to). She seemed rather amused, though a little annoyed, about the whole thing.

E=mc^2
I was in a dorm of some kind, and was watching it be robbed by an adult and a boy (who had presumably been raised by the adult from a young age). There were all kinds of swords and knives mounted on the wall, and the two began stuffing them into bags. The boy grabbed a sword and hesitated for a moment, when the adult's back was turned, and I knew he wanted to kill the adult. So I crouched down, allowing the boy to run up, step on my back, and launch himself towards the adult. Quite calmly, the man whose death was imminent turned around and, midair, impaled the boy with a sword of his own, stabbing the sword straight down into the ground, through the boy's back.

I decided it was time to get out of there, and wrenched open the door and ran out. It seemed that, at this point, there were still somehow two robbers left, one of whom I recognized as my friend Jake, and another whom I didn't get a good look at. They chased me out of the dorm, I ran across the open-concept hallways, through the library (both familiar to my grade 7-8 school), breaking a light on the ceiling when I sailed over people and bookshelves, and down the stairs, into a room with tons of windows (reminiscent of Waterloo, my next year's school), where I ran into a friend of mine, who seemed amused and confused about why I was running so hard.

I dashed by her, practically ignoring her, and onto a patio, just outside this floor. It was made of actual stone formations, looking not carved by man, and was somewhat oddly-shaped as a result. There was no railing, and so I proceeded to go to the edge, hoping I wouldn't have to jump the 10 feet to the ground outside. I didn't; there where similar stone formations creating steps down to the ground, and I jumped down them and, with the last step being 4-5 feet, rolled when I hit the ground (partly for style, and partly to build that reflex - by this point, I had a sense that it wasn't quite real).

I continued running, asking people if they'd seen Jake. The first person said no, but the second said they'd seem him just looking for me. With no time to explain, I just kept running, and that person went on to tell Jake where I'd gone. I was now approaching a building with awnings on each floor above the door, and a small crowd in front of it. I jumped, grabbing the edge of the awning just above the second floor, trying to pull myself on top of it (though I knew it wouldn't hold my weight). When I started to pull myself up, I could hear the fabric start to rip. Looking down, I could see Jake approaching. I pulled myself up slowly, made it on top and.. I believe the dream was briefly interrupted by my WBTB alarm (PC Alarm Clock Pro, in case anybody's interested; near-recent versions are "procurable").

I was now on the awning just above the first floor, and I rolled off it, landing on my feet. Jake was only a few feet away, and so I began to run. I noticed now that Jake looked more like my other friend Joel, who was now using a very curved blade to slash at me. Over the next minute, it slowly evolved into a frisbee, with the magical ability to cut whatever it hit. He threw it at me, I dodged, and kept running. He threw it again, I dodged, threw it back, missing, and kept running. He threw it again, and somehow, I caught it! This back-and-forth proceeded for a while, until we approached a hedge, with a small hole in it. The hedge was a gateway to another "dimension", and Joel required 5 magical frisbees to open it. He finally procured 4, and I was holding the last one. I threw it at him, hoping to kill him, but it missed, and he opened a portal. I hid.

The Joel who approached me attacked me again, but the frisbee-sword missed, and I was now holding it. I confused "parallel universe" with "parallel antimatter universe", so I pointed out to him that matter and antimatter don't work well together, and he grew a little unsure. He didn't believe me, I kept convincing him, and eventually, he allowed me to kill him.

Now that danger was averted, there was a yay-we're-not-dead parade of some kind, and I was an honorary member, because I'd mainly been the one to avert danger. It was a very Asian event (hey, this dream was largely based on Waterloo), so some looked at me strange, but I didn't care. Inside, a number of us crowded around an artifact gained from the ruins of the other universe, and one man began to read the scripture aloud. Then, the president (?) of China came in (a woman!), and proceeded to try and slay one of the female babies. I initially intervened, but the president's argument of "She's having her period and she's not even 2!" sounded very convincing to my quite-groggy brain.

Almost lucid
I went upstairs, to a very similar dorm from my previous dream, and found Frank Lundy (from Dexter) covered in blood, with a number of tools, in one of the rooms. We initially fought over the tools, but we each took some and went our separate ways (clearly, I didn't trust him, but for the moment, he was pretending he didn't want to kill me). He selected a syringe, which I believe he planned to use to kill my sister (who, don't ask my how I know, was downstairs, and going to come up to her room). I tried to take it from him, but neither of us could really gain the upper hand, and I ran outside, which was now my actual front yard. At this point, I became fully aware I was dreaming, and started to walk to the street, which is my usual place to be lucid, but Lundy came out and I woke up.

A happy ending
I was back at school, looking for my Drama classroom again. I ran into the same teacher, and asked for the same help. He reminded me we'd been through this, and pointed to the stairs we'd gone up last time. We went up stairs at the other end of the hall, and I could now see my classroom!

Fragments
There are some scattered dream fragments around, like being on a high-up balcony at the school, made largely of a reddish rock, with my friends.

Also, one fragment of being in the car with my dad, where no more murderers could reach me. He said he wanted to stop quickly, something about a boy, and I immediately became scared (we were driving at night, and he wanted to open the doors?). We started to approach a feral-looking wolf in the car.

My first dream of the night, I can hardly remember, I know I went lucid near the end of it though due to my nose starting to bleed in real life, it eventually woke me up.

My second dream started with me living in some kind of apartment place, and my mum had these two friends who she said could live me with, I didn't like it. One of them was male and he started to act like he owned my place and said stuff like "I'm going to my room" when he didn't even have a room. My perspective changed and I saw a crater with people crowding around and a news crew filming, pillars came out of the ground and created some kind of shockwave that killed everyone one, and aliens came out of the crater. It switched back to me, in a shop. I tried to get back to where I live. At this moment I became lucid by looking into a mirror and seeing a reflection that I know could not be true.
I've never had a dream about an alien invasion before, so I thought I might aswell have some fun with it. So I just went along with the dream, but not the way that it was obviously not how it was originally going to be. I decided I'd make my way back to where I live just like what I was going to do before becoming lucid. I got home and noticed that man was still there, he was really annoying so I shouted "You're still alive?!" then I got woke up.

Most successful lucid dream to date. (Ah, excuse the language in here and if it sounds childish, I'm kind of embarrassed about this dream, but I did not want to change anything from my original write-up. It was written as SOON as I woke up from it, so everything here is my memories in its original form)

This dream takes place from about 9am - 10am when I shoudl have
been getting up to go to physics, hence it probably caused the
following setting.

I was in my physics lecture for the day, and I was with zreb actually
writing down notes and it felt like I was really there. At some point
I realized that I was dreaming, and thought it funny how I was
continuing to take down notes. I turned to (Online friend) and said that
"Haha, you know I'm dreaming so that means that it doesn't matter
if I take dow notes right now, but maybe I'm telepathic so we'll
see how this turns out."

At this point the dream decided to try and troll me by having the
standard nightmare "Oh dude do you have your paper ready to hand in?"
Now since I was lucid, I was wise to this being a dream and decided
to not give a fuck. The professor came up to me I just got up and said

"YEAH I DON'T HAVE IT WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO DO THIS IS A
DREAM FUCKER"

He just looked at me wide eyed as he continued to take the other
tests. Feeling pretty awesome at how this dream was STILL going on
in perfect clarity, I noticed a girl that somewhat resembled Sailor
Venus near the front. I remembered the trick that you could use in
lucid dreams to change things into other things, so I started to just
kind of push all my thoughts on her being Sailor V, she is Sailor V,
she is Sailor V, over and over again in my head, and lo and behold:

She turned into Venus. At this point knowing full well it was a dream,
I just decided to follow my dick since I had no idea when a dream of
this awesome magnitude would happen again. I went up to her, hugged
her and immediately thought about making out with her. Turns out in
my dream she just broke up with some guy and needed someone else.

this is where the long makeout session with Sailor Venus happened.

But NOPE I wasn't satisfied, I wanted to just go all the way and make
this the best dream ever. There was a girl lying on a couch I guess
to the right of where we were, because my mind was on Sailor Moon,
I thought about if she was her and lo and behold she was the goddamn
Sailor Moon. I think to myself "Hey I bet I can make this a threesome"

I go over to her and lay next to her and she says "Oh..you're not
Darien though..I can't :/" Her innocence came into play here and
I kissed her cheeks a bit, though at this point Venus kind of jumped
on me again and deep frenched me which..I mean I happily fucking
obliged to it, though was worried that SM would see it anddd not join
in. Well she decided that she did but was nervous at first, and this
is where control of my dream started to fade and it gets fuzzy. I think
it's because at this point I actually started getting full of myself
and started spending too much of my "dream thinking power" on thinking
how fucking awesome this is. Both girls were on each arm, but I never
actually made out with Sailor Moon, but you know what who gives a fuck.

Past this point, it somehow got to where I was a player in team fortress
2, aaand, I don't really give a fuck past that point, it ended with me
getting batted to the head by the scout and I woke up thinking that
I was going to be late for work and just "holy shit how long did I sleep
that must have been forever" when really it was just when my actual
physics class started.

welp, so much for being telepathic.

[This is a catch-up post. These dreams are from the night of June 9-10, 2011.]

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

I'm walking around the downtown area of a city. Every block is covered with tall buildings. Most of one block is covered with a three-or-four-story building with signs that identify it as “Jews' World.” It's their community center and place of worship; it is built around a narrow, rectangular courtyard/entryway with doors to various rooms leading off of it. I look at it and think, Wow, that's pretty cool, having a community center like that.

Directly across the street from this center is a similar, five-or-six-story community center and place of worship for the LDS church. A woman walks out of that complex and walks down the street. We pass each other in the street between the two centers, walking in opposite directions. The woman recognizes me and calls me “Pie [$RealFirstName].” I know that “Pie” is a nickname for [$OfficeBoss] [yes, he is LDS in real life], and that the use of that nickname as a title before my name indicates that I am a member of the in-group associated with [$OfficeBoss]. I'm rather disturbed that the woman both knew who I was and associated me with [$OfficeBoss] in such an intimate and familiar way.

Having realized I was dreaming at some point during this sequence of events [again, I'm not sure when], I decide to start flying. I take off and get pulled in a random direction, backward and sort of sideways. I try to control my flying and start flying forward by concentrating on details of the scenery I can see in front of me and trying to examine them more closely, as I did in my previous lucid [on the night of June 5], but it doesn't work. I attempt this method of control several times. When it stubbornly refuses to work, I just give up. I think, Fine. I'm just going to let myself get pulled along to wherever.

Then that dream faded to black, yet I remained consciously self-aware. I'm not sure if I was actually awake [more likely] or still asleep and self-aware during the gap between two dreams. At any rate, I remember that I knew that I was still asleep [however that works; I really don't even know what was going on here] and that if I just waited patiently, another dream would begin. I did, and it did.

I'm in the central courtyard of a big, old church made of yellow-tan stone. On one side of the courtyard, there is a large, windowlike opening in the wall with no glass, and on the other side of it are rolling vineyards. I briefly think of going flying over the vineyards, but I decide not to. Instead, I explore the building I'm in, and find a large kitchen knife. I pick it up and look at it, reflecting upon it: What's this doing here? We don't do sacrifices of living creatures in my church. We don't have to.

I go into the building, find the kitchen, and put the knife away. To get to the kitchen, I have to go through the parish hall. There are other people in there. I continue to explore more of the building, concentrating on just what a wonderful gift it is to be here in a dream and be lucid. [That's the last I remember.]

[Later, I had another nonlucid.] A whole bunch of the important businesspeople I know in real life, including [$OfficeBoss], have come over to House #2 for an early-morning presentation that I'm supposed to be giving, and they've all crowded into my bedroom. I wake up late for the presentation. In order to get into my closet, I have to ask [$OfficeBoss] and another man to move aside. I'm embarrassed to be seen by all these people while wearing only my black nightgown. [It was the same one I was wearing in real life that night.] I take too long to get ready, and all my guests wander off.

I go out into the rest of the house and see that my mom has put up all the Christmas decorations, even though it's June. I run the vacuum cleaner in the study; P. is there. I get a second shot at doing the presentation, and this time, it works out. I'm grateful that the first attempt, where I got up late for it and everyone left, was just a dream. [LOL!]

[Fragment] I'm in a house or hotel somewhere with MLT [a real-life friend]. I demonstrate to her the fold-out bed that's built into the wall, and she declares it to be too opulent. The building is cylindrical.

Type: Regular Dream.
Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

I am walking in a field and there is a dirt patch of a field for planting something like a lot of vegetables in like on a farm.

I see a horse and grab at him but he has a plow strapped top him so I grab that and plow the field but only one pass. So now there is a hugely deep "V" trench about 2 feet deep and there were tiny rows for seeds but my huge row has strangely bent them over on the side like the field was made out of rubber and I had sliced a cut into it and pushed to 2 sides together.


“Oh no”, a broad shouldered gray haired man behind me says, I can feel that he feels he is the farmer here. “You’ve ruined my crop” he said sadly. It was only one trench but I felt sad and knew the only way to fix it was to use my powers cuz you can’t unplow dirt.

I turned back to the field and put my hands like I am grabbing the ground from a standing position as I do to make earthquakes and brought on a small tremor to the field hoping the earth would rise and do away with the trench I made but no luck.

I tried a bigger tremor more like an earthquake and it shook me around a bit but the trench didn’t hardly move at all. Some of the DC's looked around a bit but they were not too concerned.

The only other power I had left to possibly do the job was telekinesis. I was going to try everything, if for no other reason than to see what works. I put my hands out to focus my power and concentrated on lifting the trench so it was level ground again. After concentrating when I looked again the trench was lifted but only in a small spot, I needed to think bigger. I expanded my vision of what needed to be done in my mind and went to it with only a little more power than the last try. This time it was complete, not perfect all over but certainly fixed. I was proud of my little accomplishment and let my grasp on the dream fall away.

I woke and committed the dream to waking memory.

I dreamt that I was hanging out with one of my friends and I spent the night at his house. I'm not sure if why we were spending time together like that since I haven't seen him since Elementary school and even then we weren't that close of friends. But anyways, we were in his car going to places and we went shopping for something, I found a few things that I wanted and then I realized I wasn't wearing my pants so I had no money (I was pants-less through half this dream so I guess I kind of got used to it.) when he says "No problem man, I'll get you." That made me really happy that my friend would be so nice to me even though we haven't really spent that much time together. We then went to one of his friends' houses and we hung out which is when I became lucid. I realized I was in a dream and I started to remember what I told myself "Okay, keep calm. Look around, feel these walls, look at that woman, look at the other people, take in the surroundings." Then I would take a few deep breaths and began walking around. The house was incredibly beautiful and very well done architecturally. I almost never recognize places or people when I have dreams so all of the people there I had no recollection of. The house was very large and seemed to have quite a few inhabitants, I also took note at how many pools and bathrooms they had because it seemed like there were so many. This dream had lasted much longer then my other two in terms of length because I managed to keep myself calm long enough, really glad that I'm making progress, or at least I think I am.

Going to see if there are ways for me to become Lucid earlier, not WILD but at least close.

1. I must have gone lucid spontaneously, as I don't recall making a reality check or even what came before the lucid moment. But in any case, I become aware that I'm dreaming in the guest room of my house. I start stabilizing by rubbing my hands on my sides, but I also remember a thread I recently read on DV. Apparently the poster had success stabilizing with a musical focus, so I start singing the third declension ending song from my high school Latin class. It really seems to help, and I walk from the guest room into my bedroom. My computer is set up on my desk and my lights are on, but I ignore them. I try to work on object summoning, as I have problems with that. I try to create a sword in my hands for dream fighting, and with my willpower I call into being an ill-defined brown colored katana. It's less vivid than the rest of the dream, but I do feel resistance as my hands grasp it and start going through some simple slashes. The blade moves with my moves, and I'm pleased with my progress. I decide to close out by flying, and I drop the sword to jump through my ceiling. There's a tremendous rush upward, a few stars in the sky, and then I wake up.

2. I'm walking home from Newport with C.W. when we run into a New Orleans-style funeral. Apparently it's being held by a guild of clowns, all dressed in white robes with red emoticon faces on them. Some are happy :-) and are playing saxophones, some are sad :-( and simply march. Some are wearing large red plastic necklaces in the shape of bananas. After walking with the procession a bit, we come across a group which is using those necklaces to play a lacrosse-type game.

I had a lucid last night. I didn't recall anything this morning, but while I was in the car going to the beach I did a reality check and I suddenly remembered. I can't recall most of it, but I remember doing the noseplug RC. I also remember a pool, and that it was nighttime, but the rest was a blur.

This is probably because I've been going to bed at such wierd hours lately. I'm going to get myself back into a regular sleep pattern though.

NOTE: I said in a previous entry that when something about me changes in a dream, I keep it that way. I decided though, that the whole Jusenkyo Curse isn't something I like much, so I'm gonna end that.*

I find myself in a suburban town. I'm with a group of people I don't know. We're wandering around the back streets of town. There is one girl who is generally annoying the fuck out of all of us. So, a few of us meet up. One girl in our group, was super attractive. She was very, 'distracting.' she looked like she wanted to speak. "Okay." she said. "That girl is annoying the piss out of me. Which ever one of you guys gets rid of her, I'll have sex with you." Boing! We split up. I got over to the girl. I knock her over. Now, I pick her up by her legs and begin to spin around. Finally, I let go, and she flies over a house. She's gone. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! I tell the hot girl I'll be waiting around the corner. While I'm waiting over there, I'm thinking about Lauren(DS). now, I become lucid! Well shit. I was looking forward to doing the TOTY, but this dream started to late in the morning. I won't have time. Oh well, sex it is. So, the girl shows up now. I undress, and so does she. Boing! Now, she decides to be fancy. She takes everything off, minus her skirt. Oh that's hot. So, now we have sex. It was actually pretty fast(on account of I don't usually have sex dreams anymore, so the "you know what" came quicker). So, we finished and got up. We redressed. Soon, we discovered that something bad was happening. We went back around the corner. I wasn't sure what was happening, but I was gonna end it quick. Then, something jumped at me.
"Shishihokodan!" I shouted. Suddenly, a large explosion of ki fired up and destroyed everything in its path.
Then, I awoke.

1. I was by my back door when my brother said something weird (I think). I decided to do a Reality Check and sure enough I was dreaming. I was really shocked that I was actually dreaming. Suddenly I was outside on my neighbor's lawn. I started feeling the house to make the dream more stable. It seemed to be less shaky/ unstable. Then I honestly can't remember what happened after that, I think I tried to have sex lol.

2. I was in my basement with my mom and I think she insulted me and she never does so I decided to do an RC. Sure enough I was dreaming and went the the wall and started feeling it. I then was walking to my guest bedroom where I was gonna have sex, as I walked the dream became unstable and I rubbed my hands. I imagined that the girl I wanted to do it with would be in the glues bedroom. I turned on the light in there and she wasn't there. So I found a mattress and called for her to come. She never did, at this point the dream became unstable and I lost it

First Dream
I was at a Flaming Lips concert at a local venue with a whole bunch of my friends who were being too crazy and were on the verge of being kicked out. These 2 girls came in and one sat next to me while the other sat on my lap. I thought to myself fuck my friends I'm not getting kicked out of this place. So I behaved (even though you can usually do anything at a concert) while I watched all of my friends get kicked out.

This dream occurred between 1 AM and 5:30 AM.

Second Dream
I was running away from a tornado with a group of people (tornados are one of my worst fears) and thought it would be a good idea to take cover next to a steep hill. The group of people I was with just kept running while I crouched down behind the slope. The tornado ran right over me and I have to grasp the grass to keep myself from flying into it. After the tornado was gone, I ran to a jeep in a parking lot to tell Peggy Hill about my story. I didn't actually see her but I knew she was in the jeep. I later went to a bar to see a special showing of the first Simpsons episode. Me and a few friends snuck into this place without getting charged. The bar was showing the episode on the TV but they were using some strange device to change the channels involving a projector and cups filled with water. Some guy int he bar was being a dick and one of my buddies (who would do this in real life) yelled out to the guy while smoking a cigarette. The 2 proceeded to get into an insult comeback battle consisting of content from 5th grade.

Third Dream
I was in New Orleans (I have never been before but I just knew) jumping from building to building. I stopped on one building and looked at the ground and realized that I had never been to New Orleans and that I was probably dreaming. I did the nose breathing reality check and proceeded to try and stabilize the dream. I then hovered down from the building to the ground but the northern hemisphere of my vision was blocked by what looked like a blanket. I tried stabilizing more but I ended up awake.

This dream occurred somewhere between 9 AM and 10 AM.

Fourth Dream
I was in a coastal town built into a hillside in Cape Cod with my family. Me and one of my brothers met this stranger who was showing us around the town. We had to cross a bridge that was really just a plank of wood and my brother fell in the water trying to cross it. I crossed it with ease and sat at a small food stand. I was very hungry but I didn't have any money. It turned out my parents were sitting just a few seats down from me and bought me the special meal, which was a cheeseburger with a large pretzel in the middle. When I got my meal, it was really a bowl of soup with broccoli and bits of hamburger meat. Some girl I had never met come and sat next to me and we began talking but I woke up shortly after.

This dream occurred between 10 AM and 11:30 AM.

Lucid

I became lucid in a rather dark area near a rail road. I had questioned my surroundings, and I found the train that was headed toward me was not even on a track. I did the finger through the hand reality check, and my finger would not go through my hand. After that, I ended up doing the nose pinch reality check, and it ended up working. Now lucid within the dream, I found that I was in a rather dark neighborhood with no light source. I simply reached into my pocket, and pulled out a rather large match and lit it on my arm. I remember feeling the heat of the match on my arm, and it felt very real. I kept repeating to myself that I was in a dream, and I continued doing reality checks every now and then.

Just after I lit the match, I heard a roar in the distance and the train was launching over some sort of concrete berm. I put my arms up in the air, and focused my attention on the train in mid flight, throwing it further in the direction that it was already headed. It seemed to have worked, and I lost complete sight of the train after I threw it. I was getting bored of being outside, so I decided to go into someones house within the neighborhood. As I walked inside, I was greeted by my cat, and a very fluffy red textured carpet. It was then that I remembered a teleportation technique that I had found on dream views. I put my hand into my pocket, and I went to pull out a seed. I was coming up with nothing but odd looking white shards, I was thinking too hard about the seed at that time. I figured that it was time for another reality check, so I pinched my nose, and put my finger through my hand with success this time. When my finger went through my hand, it gave me a very odd hot sensation right where my finger went through. I then looked over to my left, and seen some sort of kitchen through a door. I walked through the door, and started my way over to the kitchen.

As I got closer to the kitchen, it looked to me as if it was some sort of homeless refuge because of all of the things hanging around. My cat was walking beside me. Almost immediately after I noticed all of the things hanging, I seen a very old lady sitting in a chair with no eyes in her eye sockets. She had long flowing dirty brown hair, and lots of wrinkles. I tried my best not be scared, as I knew it was a dream, and I then shook her hand and proceeded to ask her if she knew where any seeds where. She was very nice, but she did not directly answer my question. She was speaking, and I really wasn't listening as I was searching for a seed in the kitchen. The door just to the right of her flung open, and another older lady, her friend walked through the door. I remember her saying "Oh who is thing young'n ye got me here?" almost as if they where going to try to do something to me.

I then found a rather large pot on the kitchen stove that was filled with sunflower seeds. I picked one up and I headed for the area just outside of the kitchen with the red carpet. I knelt down, and cupped the seed with my hands focusing on the street out front of my house while looking straight at my hands. The ground in the immediate area around my hands began to swirl, and become blurry. I kept focusing, and all of the sudden I heard a male voice that came from the door behind me that said "Trying to leave are you?" and it broke my focus and I turned around to meet the strange voice. Right as I turned around I just threw a punch and it landed right on his face, sending him out of a window nearby. At this point, I was going to attempt to use a portal technique that I had thought about the night before. I stuck my hands out in front of me, and attempted to rip a hole in the air. I kept thinking about the other side of the portal and my target destination, the ocean. I was going to attempt the basic task of the month. As I went to pull the portal apart, my cat jumped onto my bed and woke me up out of my dream.

All I remember is that I was in a dream, my vision was slightly blurry, and then I went lucid. I looked down on my hands, then rubbed them - but nothing really happened from that. Instead I stood still and looked at my garden which was 10 times more beautiful than usual. It was set in a pretty orange sunset light, with rays of light here and there. Bloom was higher than usual (a sort-of glow from the light spots), and the garden was filled with glorious plants and flowers.
The more I focused, the more clear and realistic it looked. In fact, it got to be more clear and vivid than real life. This is supposedly a good thing, but it ended up with me thinking it was real life. I don't remember more since that.

Type: Lucid, Fragment
Vivid: Short

Notes: I haven't been active for a while but now I guess I'm back

Fragment 1: I was standing outside my house with my friend and a gigant teddybear. I don't remember what I was doing but I remember that I suddenly thought; "Wait a minut, I had a dream about this teddybear before". So I checked if my hand looked normal, and noticed that my hand was kind of shimery. I was not sure what that meant, so I plugged my nose and tried to breath. I could feel the air running through my nose, and I started to scream; "I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming"! I wanted to try to teleport myself to another location, so I tried to think about the location

Fragment 2: I was in the location I thought about (I think.) Something happens but I dont remember what. I wake up

Type: DILD.

Notes:
This relatively short dream disturbed me a bit. The situation was so unrealistic that this was one of the first times a dream scenario alone left me lucid.

I was in a train. It wasn't like a train I'd been on before; the layout was slightly different. It had a slimmer aisle in the middle, going down the length of the car, with a curtain-enclosed seating section on either side of this aisle. Both of these sections were probably ten feet long, and there were a few of them going down both sides; the sections were raised fifteen inches or so off of the aisle's level. The whole interior of the train was a burgundy colour scheme with orange and gold accents, which made it seem more upscale. As for the lighting, it was dim. Not eerily dim, but dim enough that one could assume at least half the lights in the aisle weren't working.

I walked into a section on the left hand side of the train, which contained two chairs facing a wall, and a single sliding-pane window edged with flat silver metal. Light poured in from the outside of this window, but I didn't see exactly what was on the other side of it.

I could tell some other people were walking down the aisle, and a man was sitting in the section on the opposite side of the hall, reading a paper. The majority of the people occupying the train were shadowy and dark, which was a first considering I could always see DC's faces and stuff. I couldn't even make out what they were wearing.

My vision was both in first-person and third-person at the same time. It wasn't like a split screen situation, and it wasn't like the two perspectives were superimposed on top of each other, either. It's as if I really was in two places at once. It's very difficult to explain.

Before I knew it, the lighting had dimmed even more. A man had suddenly appeared in the room I was in, right in front of me, and pinned me down right where the "x" in the drawing above is. I was now seeing exclusively in third-person, from the bottom of the curtain enclosing the room on the opposite side of the aisle. So, I was looking up at myself slightly, if you understand where I was looking from. I saw myself lying on my back, on the ground, my head coming out from the room and out over the aisle. The man was wearing dark gray and a ski mask, but for some reason I knew he had messy, slightly longer brown hair. He took out an axe; the handle was polished, cylindrical wood with probably only a 2-inch radius (very thin). The blade was very long, going outwards from the end quite a ways, and then became larger at the end. It was very sharp.

My viewpoint was still in third person, but as he took out the axe, it suddenly changed so that I was looking right up at him, looking past my own head from only a few inches back. The scene became a bit hazy. The man said, in a relatively normal-sounding but deeper voice, "when I kill you, you won't be able to tell them that I'm going to kill everyone else on this train".

I struggled, still watching myself from the same viewpoint as just described, and it was like fighting rubber and concrete combined. In the dream, I envisioned the axe coming down before it even happened, and just struggled harder. Within a few moments, the axe came down for good. I'd become lucid at that point - not super lucid - but it was enough to help me not freak out. Immediately the viewpoint changed, moving a few inches upwards, so I was finally looking through my own eyes, sitting there with no feeling whatsoever, except possibly numbness. I didn't feel the axe at all in my neck.

I laid there with the axe sitting in me, and it took a few instances to actually wake up.
