lucid

I'm at home, programming for one of my current projects.
I have a bit of trouble getting something to work, that doesn't appear to make much sense.
I quickly realize that what the problem itself is complete nonsense.
Yep, I'm definitely dreaming.

I notice I've also been programming in chrome in stead of visual studio, how weird.
I see the "Dreamviews" tab is still open, so I click on it wondering if there'll be anything special.
Unfortunately I get an error trying to access the page:

"Error 000: You are not awake"

Funny...
I stand up and take a closer look at my room, trying to let the dream settle in and to figure out what to do.
I'll try the advanced Totm again. I'll go to Jupiter! But this time I'll do it right, not like last time...
After I feel that the dream is stable and that I am thinking clearly, I draw my phoenix wings and try to reach out to Jupiter with my mind.
It's pretty easy, and I immediately find the big red spot, great!
I take a step through the fabric of space, teleporting a few 100 meters over the red spot of Jupiter.

I immediately start falling. Yeah... gravity, how did I not think of that?
Jupiter is huge! When I look at the horizon I cannot see any curvature, it's perfectly straight, as if it would be a plane of infinite size.
There is no sound as I fall, but I understand that is because I haven't entered the atmosphere yet.
Obviously I can't hear anything in the void of space.

I know I'll hit the outer atmosphere any second now, I can see the red layer of gas approaching very rapidly.
It looks like an absolutely massive tornado, reaching for possible thousands of kilometers, and I'm falling into the very center of it.
As soon as I hit the first clouds I can hear a massive thunderstorm. It is very loud, and it never stops growling.
I see lightning flashes everywhere, so I draw a protective bubble around myself, which lessens the pressure I feel all over my body and the intensity of the sound.
Although the smell is very faint, it smells a bit like an orange? How weird, I would have expected something more like sulfur.

I descend through many layers of clouds, and the intensity of the storm decreases as I go deeper.
Suddenly, a pocket in the clouds appears. There's a biodome floating in the middle of it!


I realize that I will hit it pretty hard if I don't slow down and instinctively summon my wings in order to do so.
Although I do slow down quickly I won't stop in time, but I know that's not a big issue.
Just before hitting the outer wall of the biodome I simply blink through it and end up on the other side.
I slow down and land on a big greenfield next to a sea.
The air tastes and smells very fresh, you get that sort of salty taste as if you're standing on the beach of a big ocean.

I was hoping to meet the inhabitants of this biodome, but it seems this place has been abandoned a long time ago, how unfortunate.
But I'm quite happy that I managed to do this and that I found something rather interesting.
I want to do the basic task as well, but I'm afraid to loose the dream if I go back to earth.
But then it strikes me, the basic task should be easier than the advanced one... I'll just summon a shipwreck right here.
My back is turned towards the sea, so as I turn around I expect there to be a shipwreck, and there is.
It's right under the water surface on the beach. It's an old wooden pirate ship.

I wonder if I can blink into water? Ah, what the hell, I'll just try.
I look at the ship and blink. OUCH!
Well, the good news is it works. The bad news is it feels like running head on into a brick wall.
I dive into the wreck, searching for a treasure chest.
It gets quite dark which I dislike, I know going into darkness can end dreams.
But then I find a wooden treasure chest... except... it's really really small.
It's maybe 10 by 10 centimeters, but it looks like a royal chest with jewels and everything on it.

I open it up, hoping to find something amazing.
As it opens, a few faint light rays emerge from it... woah!
Inside of the chest I find... well... a wooden Yo-Yo.
What the fuck? Seriously? What kind of treasure is that?
My vision slowly becomes darker and then blacks out.

I decide not to try to stabilize it and wake up instead to take notes.

First Dream
Started with a reality check (fingers to nose) in my bed. Became lucid and got out of bed, everything was dark so I tried touching as many objects as possible and rubbed my hands together. I got out of bed and tried to spin to teleport myself to another place but it didn't work (I've never tried it before). I then walked downstairs to see my Mother and Santa in the living room. I stepped outside to try to fly somewhere but that didn't work either. I had trouble keeping myself in the dream and woke up.

This dream occurred at 2:30 AM after drinking apple juice and attempting to WILD. Instead of falling into a dream I just waited a little bit and did a random reality check.

Second Dream
I don't remember too much of this one. I was in a restaurant with some old high school friends and as we ordered our food we had bags of weed in our laps. None of us cared that we had illegal drugs out in public but our waitresses seemed to be uncomfortable.

Not sure when this dream occurred but it was probably right after I woke up from the previous one.

Flying for the first time

Type: MILD

The dream started in my living room, I suddenly thought: I am dreaming!, Then i remembered looking up on how to fly. Then, I used telekenisis (Bad spelling FTW) to pick myself up, then levitating out the door, Then, Let go of my 'power'. And then putting my arms in front of me. Then i flew off very fast. But, The mountain in the distance, instead of it being there, There was a lot of skyscrapers. Then, I woke up.

Seeing a Friend

Color code:
Lucid Non-Lucid Dream Sign

The dream starts of with me walking into my room trying to get my clothes organised for tomorrow. It's dark in my room so I flick the light switch which turns on the lamp instead. I touch the lamp to make it brighter but the brightness stays the same. Then I realise, what if I'm dreaming?

I pinch my nose tightly and try to breathe which fails, so I'm sure I'm dreaming. I'm suddenly "teleported" to the grass in front of my house and I see a friend who says he doesn't want to pinch his nose to see if he's dreaming, because the last time he tried, he gave himself a nose bleed.

I end up back in my bedroom and my vision literally goes hazy. I try to stabilize when I realize I'm going to wake up soon. Even though I haven't properly stabilized I try to fly but fail. I need to reality check and have lucid dreams more often!

The end.


Notes:

1. I was listening to music before I went to sleep. I listened to "Nowhere Near" by Blake Reary and "Clocks" by Coldplay.

After a few nights past my last entry I had noticed some odd happenstances which triggered my attention. The dreams were more lucid, stable and my dream control was fantastic. However, I myself, was losing balance alot. I kept tripping over myself or sort of hydroplaning on my feet. After a few runs through an obstacle course in a training grounds area i often visit in my dreams, my very own shadow came out from under me whilst i was stumbling over myself once more, and began choking me, saying " I TOLD YOU TO DRAW A TAIL YOU DIP$#!%!"
I woke up and didnt fully recall the dream until later that night. I picked up the 2- dimensional drawing i had done of my dream control form and decided to brush off the dream and leave the picture how it was, as i did not appreciate a tail. The next night was profoundly odd. The first thing i can recall is appearing in dream world with my shadow glaring at me and tapping its foot. I decided to ignore it and go about my dream elsewhere however my shadow followed me, smiling. I begin to be chased by odd creatures in my dream that seem to de stabalize the dream itself and wake me up when i interact with them. I jump into the air and spin around, activating my dream control form, or so i thought and falling on my face. My shadow laughs at me. "WTF?!" i reply. I get back onto my feet determined to get away from these creatures. When i notice I have a tail... a light blue regular size bird tail attached to my backside. My shadow is now cackling as he runs along side me. "What the hell are you doing?" I ask. "Hey, you wouldnt draw the tail so you get whatever i feel like." I run a bit more but the realisation i have a little birdy tail annoys me and i stop running alltogether, being caught by the creatures and waking up. I havent seen my shadow the nights hence, as I decided it was time to draw a tail seeing as my subconciouse was litterally sabotaging my dreams. I will say that the tail does make my dream control form look better and ... it is alot easier to balance with one also and can come in handy when your hands arent free so whatever my shadow was correct.

I'm not sure if it was a WILD or a DILD because I dreamt about it a while ago.

Anyways, I'm walking outside of my house, and I'm thinking of a way to meet up with walms. First I tried my "go to sleep" technique to change the scene. I laid down, and closed my eyes....felt myself melting through the ground, and all of a sudden, I popped right back up in the same area...eyes wide open. Then I tried black holes. I threw one on the ground....didn't work....threw another...didn''t work...and another. The black hole actually comes out, but it looks like someone spray painted the grass. I jump on it....nothing. I try it again and an actual black hole appears on the ground, but I get the same results. I figured that I must have been thinking that it wasn't going to work, so I get all my positive thinking going, and it still doesn't work.

I'm fed up with it, so I tell myself that there's a green warp pipe around the corner, ala super mario bros. Low and behold, there is one. I jump in it, and it's full of water. Not any water, raw sewage. So I'm sinking farther and farther into it contemplating drowning, and finally I end up in a house. There are two blonde girls in there. I'm walking around, and every time i breathe, random bubbles come out. I head towards the exit, and open the door, and just outside of the house, it's normal air. Obviously it's time to experiment with this. I stepped outside, and breathed normal air, and back in the house, and saw bubbles come out of my mouth. I did this back and fourth about five times, it was really amazing.

Rest of the dream......pretty much sex.

Was with allen. I was some type of sniper or something for a group of powerful villians. I has in some way upset them and was no longer going to work for them. I was in paris. Allen and I quickly packed some bags and ran out. The streets were covered in rain and it was dark. We had to flee by that night. A old man stopped me in the streets. He asked if my name was lana. Lana was my fake name for while I lived in paris. I answered by saying not anymore and I walked away. I felt sad by this because I loved my life in paris. Next thing I know, that old man was chasing allen and I. I jumped behind some bushes. I knew I was dreaming at this point. I willed the man to go away and he did. Then I forgot I was dreaming. (Dammmnnnnn itttt). Suddenly we realized we left an important document at the apartment. There was no way we could make it out of paris with the document. We carefully went back to the apartment. No one had been there yet. We grabbed the stuff. When I openned the door for us to leave, 4 or 5 man were waiting for us on the other side of the door. They rushed in. They pulled allen into the bathroom and tied me to a chair. I was filled with fear of what might happen next. It sounded like allen was having the shit beat out of him. I was realived when they said that they just needed me to kill just one last time for them. I agreed as long as they stop hurting allen. They did. They told me that they would keep him as hostage until it was done. I left in all black close with an envelope with the name and address of the man I was to kill. I read the name and knew that it would be a near impossible kill. I looked back at allen and became extremely anxious

Ok so i woke up through the night, not for long though, as soon as i woke up i could see only black, thats when i knew it was happening again. I was concious and felt myself rushing through a tunnel at high speed, I could constantly hear people, so many of them, all talking, it was like being in a very busy crowded room, i started to slow down a little and my dream was beginning to take place infront of me, i could see a wardrobe appearing and a room emerging but then it started to dissapear i then thought "ohh no quick, think of something" so i thought of a big bed and the scene then came back appearing infront of me. I was then standing in this bedroom, there was a man in the bed, he had elf like features and a green face lol I had to giggle because i was wandering why he was there as i didn't think him up but then i realised the talking i heard before-hand sounded like elf voices and i realised that's why lol i was thinking "now what shall i do" I got on the bed and he looked at me, i still found him very funny. 2 children then appeared behind me, i do remember these 2 boys from a previous dream i sometimes have, they were only young, about 4 or 5 years old and they were nice lads. They told me something but i couln't understand them, things then started to dissolve before me, my whole dream was turning to black then i woke up.

Last night's dream:
I dreamed I was In one of the local plazas near by. In the drug store. I bumped into some one who looked almost identical to me expect for the fact that she was very superficial. For one thing she wore make-up, and was wearing high heels (and I do neither). 2 other copies of me also appeared the only difference was one me had blond hair, and the other me had brown-ish hair. I had the gut feeling NOT to look into their eyes. I raced out of the drug store and next door there was a store that's not there any more in RLF and this store had clothing racks outside so I hid behind one of the clothing racks. And the 3 others me just went past yet I know they were looking for me.


Next thing I know. I AM my superficial self and I with my 2 other superficial selfs and we were in the mall getting smoothies. Next thing I know I'm in what looks like a University classroom (with white walls and the only colour being the professor's desk) still as my superficial self with the other 2 selfs and we still had our smoothies. We were talking too much with each other to pay attention to what the professor was saying (but I think cake was mentioned once)


The Night's before dream:
Sitting on the edge of the OUTSIDE pool, in winter time, fishing for seals. I got one seal but it looked more like a lion then a seal

So i tried hard for a day or two to have a LD but in vain so i just forget about that but suddenly one week after,
i find me conscious, i do a reality check(plugging nose) and i realize am in a dream however it breaks immediately.i wake up happy to have been able to experience a LD but then i didn't even stay long enough to have enjoyed it.I go back to sleep and bang(lol) LD again, short too as i try to fly by jumping from a building(LOL...) and i wake.

.

I am pleasantly surprised with the amount of lucid dreams I've been having these past couple weeks. I am not sure if it's the binaural beats I listened to a couples times before sleeping or the "mantra" I recited to myself nearly every night before I hit the sack.


I did not become lucid due to a false awakening for once! I was in the bathroom just sitting on the toilet doing nothing when I suddenly said to myself "I am dreaming!" I sat for a moment and just told myself that it was a dream and then I looked at my hands; they looked fine though my vision was a bit blurry. I then got up and looked in the mirror remembering that we don't look the same or at least "messed up" in lucid dreams. My my nose and mouth were to the side in a weird position so I knew then I was really dreaming. I did one last check by poking my finger through my palm which actually kind of hurt, but it slowly sank through. I told myself to stay calm and took a few deep breaths so I didn't get over excited and lose lucidity.

Next, I did what I always seem to do after becoming lucid. I tried summoning Howie D. from the Backstreet Boys LOL. I thought I had better chances since I just saw NKOTBSB in concert saturday. Sadly, i did not get Howie but a random guy dressed as a police officer appeared behind me. I tried to touch him but my hand went through him. My eyes were starting to close and I knew I was preparing to wake up so I took some more deep breaths and spun in a circle slowly. I tried touching the guy again and I could feel him and that's when I remember yelling out in my dream "OH MY GOD I CAN FEEL YOU! I CAN FEEL YOUUUUU!" The guy laughed and had this look of "what the hell is wrong with this chick..." on his face. Not much happened after that and I eventually slipped into a regular dream.

on a side-note: at the hotel, I did have a lucid dream like that but it was triggered by a false awakening. I am slowly making progress and I think not obsessing over it in waking life has helped. I haven't made it far "control" wise but I really want to work on summoning people before I try to fly around and wreak havoc by doing crazy things.

NOTE: I guess I need a little more practice doing portals, cause I keep failing to get to where I want. LOL.

GOALS:
300 TOTY

I am currently at school(DS). But as usual, it's all rearranged. I'm in the gymnasium. There are tables set out. Oddly, it's not lunch, and, we don't eat in the gym. We're all filling up the seats now. Maybe it's an assembly. Weird, cause we have those in the auditorium(Just do a fucking reality check!). I try to get a seat, but most of them are taken. Finally, I see one available seat...next to Lauren(DS ). Well, I guess I have no choice. So, I go over and sit next to her(JUST DO A FUCKING RC!!!!!). Now, she turns around and says, I love you. Woahoho! Now, we begin to talk(I don't recall what). I'm scoring some major-ass with her now. Damn, good thing this isn't a dream, I think. But then, I become lucid without a RC! Yay...aw...I knew it was too damn good to be true. That's disappointing in twenty languages. Oh well...maybe some day("Maybe" being the key word). Well, time to go...ugh...kick these guys' asses. Now, I see two violins which are possessed by evil souls. What the fuck?! This shit just keeps getting weirder. Well, I guess I could go kick their asses. So, I now fly up in to the air. I'll make this quick.
"KAMEHAMEHA TIMES 10!" I now launch out a large red blast. It has no effect on the two violins. Hmph! These are some strong violins! Must be the evil souls inside them. Well then...why don't I keep trying! I now keep my flight and they sati and watch.
"KA...ME...HA...ME...HA!" I now launch a super-sized Kamehameha at them. Still no effect. Dammit! Hm...I know another good move. It's Raven's favorite move too! I used in my last LD! Now, I have an idea. What if these two were trapped in a confined space? The blast would have more effect, and the debris would hurt them too. So, I now have to guys grab the violins. For as strong as the violins are, they aren't able to get free of the guys' grip. Awesome as fuck! Now, they place them in a steel filing cabinet and lock the doors. It's time...for a Final Flash! So now, I'm still flying. I put put my legs in the V stance. I now put both arms out, hands opened. I start to charge emmense levels of ki to my hands. Now, a golden aura surrounds me. Now, a golden ki ball appears in each hand. Time to kick some ass. Now, I hear the violins begging for mercy. I tell them it's too damn late for that. Now, I put arms forward and touch my wrists. The two ki balls now combine to form one giant golden ki ball. I smile. It's time end this shit!
"FINAAAAAAAAAAL...FLLLAAAAAAAAASSSSSH!" Now, a bigass golden blast fires out of my hands. The blast hits the filing cabinet. The whole thing explodes violently. I now land and go to the ruins. The violins are still unscratched! Oh what the fuc...wait! I now notice that the evil souls are gone! Hm...cool. I pick one up, and I quickly play the fiddle tune. Weird how I did that right, I play guitar. Now, I see Red come over and pick one up. I guess it's his. Well, I have no time to waste now. I have a task to get done. So, I now rush upstairs, also rearranged. Time to go to the Battle of Thermopylae. Now, I Karate Chop the air very slowly. Nothing. Shit! Oh wait, I need to thrust my arm forward first. I do that, and repeat the slow Karate Chop. As it did in my last LD, a purple line follows my chop. I now open the portal. Ah shit. Just blackness. Okay, let's try that again. I imagine Thermopylae. Karate Chop. Purple line. Open...damn! It's still just a dark void. Okay, maybe I need more portal practice. Let's try again! I awake. FUCK!

I took a nap, and dreamt that I was with Bear Grylls, attempting to sneak into a facility. After walking around it a couple times, looking for loose planks, I was like "Hey, how did I get here?" I did a nose-pinch reality check, and sure enough, I could breathe. The dream had been stable and clear until I realised that, but then it began to get all dizzy and blurry. I rubbed my hands together, imagined the heat emerging. But I got sleepier and sleepier (inside a dream?) and couldn't keep my eyes open.
I woke up in my bed, and my house was full of guests, apparently some girl that I've been talking to was my girlfriend and her friends were over too. I walked to the toilet to take a piss, but couldn't. Then I was like "Hey, wait a minute" and woke up.

Tried to WILD. I got my body into SP, or just about. I was like this for an hour before I turned over to just sleep. I kept getting a small vibration in my ear at every small sound I heard. Is that normal for you guys? I've felt it before trying to enter SP, does anyone know what that is?

Anyway, rolled over and had a dream. I was at some kind of cook-out family thing at my moms house. My cousins were there, and my sisters. I had my son and T with me. I was going in and out of rooms. I saw my oldest sister in one room, and she was kind of acting like she used to when we were living together. Like her teenage self again. I remember seeing my other sister, but she was being stand-offish, like me a little. My oldest sister, I'm not sure how she was doing this, I can't remember her really saying anything to me, but she seemed to be trying to pry at me like start a fight. Kind of acting like I was having a bad attitude and she was going to make it a scene, I don't know.

So I was getting kind of pissed off and wanting to leave. In my head we had been there for a couple hours already, so I went into the living room and saw my mom on the couch. It took me a second to focus on T sitting next to her, I raised my eyebrows (something we do when we wanna leave someplace) and he nodded. We started to get W's things together when my mom was kind of like, "ahh are you leaving already? I'm cooking chicken, don't you guys wanna eat?" I told her it sounded good, and I sat down on the couch. I started ranting to her about how D, my oldest sister was being. She didn't really listen, and T made it look like we were going to stay and eat.

I went outside and for some reason there were people standing at a stop light next to their car. They actually were dancing to some techno in the middle of the street. It looked like fun and I went and joined in for a bit. Then I'm walking back to the house and there's an election going on, something for the city.

Everyone's in these pews and the little electronic voting things are behind this pulpit or w/e. Everyone's getting seated, my sisters and mom and dad are in the back row. T's voting in the thingy. I get up to go talk to him. I've got W in his carseat and I'm carrying his bags. T comes out from behind the thing and we're looking for somewhere to sit. This old man pats the pew next to him and I laugh for some reason. Then we notice an newly empty pew and we sit.

There's a comedian of some sort on the stage thingy and he was being kind of funny. Apparently he had some of his friends down in the corner at the front and they were laughing all annoyingly giving their friend shit. I got a close look at one of his friends and it looked a lot like the cable guy. Ugh.

Then I'm outside again and I was getting outa my car for some reason, going back inside to see T and W. I take my seatbelt off and my shirt comes off. I get out of the car before I realize I'm only in my bra. As I'm walking back to my car, this girl comes out of a clothing store, she's dressed really preppy and my first thought was, she got the job. Then she says something a long the lines of "I've already dealt with enough dirty whores today, please." I was shocked. She was walking toward her bike rather quickly now. I started following her, still in my bra, pissed off. She seemed a little scared and I asked her what her problem was. I grabbed the bag that was in her hand and slammed it down. She almost got to her bike, but I beat her and pushed it over, getting in her face. I was so ready to tear her up. She moved and started walking away from the bike. I picked up the bike about to throw it at her, I ended up sitting it down. I was going to go inside, but she said something else to make me mad. She was on the ground, not sur ehow she got there, but I kicked her really hard in the belly.

As I did I saw a cop go by on a street about 10 feet away. I hurried and hid in the entrance of the place where T was. I saw the cop pull in. The girl was still on the ground where I left her. I almost went inside to sit down, but I figured they'd find me and it'd make a big scene. So I stayed put, but I was really scared and hating myself for what I did. Then I hit denial. I said fuck this, this is a dream and I made myself wake up.

I went back to sleep. I was at my moms again, same cook out. I was standing outside with my cousin, so I thought, then he started yelling at me. Then I'm inside with my mom and she tells me she needs to show me a video. It's a video of me and it was telling me about "all the drama" I cause in the family. I couldn't believe that she thought of me like this. One term, brightly bolded, like they were trying to sell the damn thing said "Dramatic Darkness" is what it called me. My mom was almost in tears, like it was some kind of intervention thing. I gave her a really disgusted look, angry because I knew her and my family absolutely didn't understand me at that moment. I got up to leave and she said if I left then me and T would have no place to stay anymore. (I don't live with her, I have no idea what that was about.) I said, "That's great mom, reject your daugther and your grandson. You know, mom, W is all I have now." Then I gave her more attitude, mockingly, said "yes I know this is more 'dark drama'!" Then I was going around to grab all the stuff. I went into the kitchen and I didn't leave, I cried.

Before me and her got into it, me and T had also had a fight, I just can't remember much about that one.

Also, I can't remember if the following bit is from my nap or last night's dream, but I remembered something else.

Being on a bike path of some sort with my friend A and she was guiding me around it.
