    1. Mega Vivid, Complex, Long Lucid Dream – Dec 25, 2014

      by , 01-06-2015 at 10:17 PM
      I don’t get these too often, and I feel really blessed when it happens. I had this dream at my father in-laws house that was built by my wife’s grandfather. This home has a lot of family history, and I have had some of my best memorable lucid dreams and OBE’s there.

      The dream started off in a public washroom. Just wait, it gets better. My dear friend Dave, and co-worker, who had passed away into Heaven a few years ago, was in the washroom with me, standing in front of the sink and mirrors. I’ve wanted to meet up with him in a lucid dream for quite some time now, and when I saw him, I instantly became lucid. I said, “Dave, How are you?” He looked freaked out by seeing my awareness, and then he ran out of the bathroom, passing right through the wall! I called for him to come back because I wanted to visit with him. He didn’t come back. My dream started to fade, so I closed my eyes and raised my right arm and shot up into outer space at light speed, and then opened my eyes. Stars were everywhere, and it was so beautiful, and I was travelling fast, I mean I was really travelling fast!

      I was flying at extreme speed in a void between space and something that looked like and endless grid of red discs, with flames and sparks everywhere (very cool)! The grid pattern extended as far as I could see in all directions. Suddenly, I came upon a planet at extreme speed and I entered the atmosphere. Clouds of smoke, flames, and light radiated off me like an asteroid burning up in the sky. I gradually slowed down and landed nicely at a large, concrete sloped ramp leading up into a large, modern looking building. People were running from me in all directions screaming. My body was glowing bright white from the heat of entry, and everything was brightly lit. I yelled out, “Its okay, I won’t hurt you!” One woman stopped, and then she turned around to face me, and smiled. Some other people also stopped, and were turning to face me, but then my vision started to fade again, so I closed my eyes, raised my right arm and shot off into space at high speed once again.

      When I opened my eyes, there were stars everywhere, and then out of nowhere comes this planet! I flew right into it, dead on, there was going to be no atmospheric burnup or slowdown happening this time. Upon impact I lost my vision, so I started to swirl to bring back clarity. I could feel my bare feet in the sand. As I swirled I held out my hand and asked for help. I heard a man say, “I’ll help you.” I recognized that voice! It was the Lizard King from my lucid dream journal entry, ‘Frank the Lizard King’. He has the most distinct voice. He grabbed my hand as he swirled with me. I asked him his name, because I couldn’t remember it, and he said “Donley.” That’s a last name, so thinking about it now; this dream figure’s full name must be Frank Donley. We stopped swirling, and he was still holding my hand. He was a young boy with black hair and dark eyes(not a lizard this time), but he had a man’s voice. He said, “You crashed into a beach full of people.” I looked around and I was standing in a sand crater about 15 feet deep by about 50 feet across. There were dream figures giving me really bad looks as they were trying to crawl up the sides and out of the crater I had made. Frank then said, “I’ve never seen anything like this, sand flew way up in the air.” I said really, “How high?” He said 2 Km’s. I was shocked at what he said, so he repeated, “The sand flew 2 km’s up into the sky!” I think he was exaggerating. My vision started to fade at this point, so I started to swirl again to bring back clarity.

      I swirled and swirled, and all was black, plus I was somewhere different, because I could feel that the ground was now solid. I continued to swirl in an effort to bring my vision back, but it wasn’t happening. I decided to ask for assistance, so I held out my hand as I swirled and said, “Somebody please help me.” I repeated this over and over, and then finally a man answered, “I’ll help you.” He grabbed my hand and swirled with me until my vision came back. I thanked him for helping me. We were standing in a concrete parking lot, and he let go of my hand and put his arm around my waist to hold me up, as I staggered around trying to get my bearings straight. I asked him his name, and he said, “John.” He was wearing a uniform, and had a gold name badge on his chest. He was one of the Lucid Dream officials that usually give me crap for misbehaving in my LD’s by asking for people’s names, locations, or phone #’s. I’ve never had one of these guys help me out before, so I was grateful. I was hoping to have some conversation with him, but he turned and walked away. He walked right through a concrete wall, and seemed to slightly slowdown as he passed through it. I found this odd because there was door a couple of feet to the left which he could have used. I ran through the door, and looked to the right down the hallway, and saw him just before he was about to go around a corner, and I loudly praised, “Thanks John for helping me!” He looked shocked that I had followed him and he replied, “Sure thing, see you again soon!” (Well, that was nice!)

      Next, I went back into the concrete parking lot area, and headed down a walkway. As I walked, I bounced along slowly rotating, and singing, to keep my clarity brilliant. This worked really well! I came to an open stairwell that led to an upper area that looked like a shopping mall. There was an older lady in front of me as we walked up the stairs, plus three teenage girls in front of her. The three girls stopped half way up the stairs, just past a landing, and one of the girls began to wiggle her butt around as she listened to music on her iPhone headset. I thought great, I’m not moving, and I’m going to start to have fading vision. Maybe I should fly up past these three girls and continue on with my journey, but I didn’t want to ‘give up’ my lucidity by flying over them, because that just attracts attention. My vision started to fade again, darn it, so I started to swirl.

      I swirled and swirled, and again I asked for help. I heard a girl talking, and she sounded like my daughter! I asked who’s there, and she replied with her name, it was my daughter! This is why I enjoy lucid dreaming so much! When somebody close to you, who you love, has passed, be thankful you’re a lucid dreamer, because you can still visit. I then asked her not to leave, and to wait for me. After about 10 seconds of swirling my vision came back, and there was my daughter with her two friends, standing right in front of me. We were now at the upper level of the parking lot. Guess what, it was my daughter on the stairs earlier, with her two friends, who were blocking me from going up to the mall area. I ran right up to her, put my right forearm under her butt, and my other arm around her back, picked her up, and gave her a huge ‘bear hug’. I told her I loved her, and we slowly spun in a circle hugging, until I woke up.

    2. Part 4: Advice Received on Healing of my Son’s Plantar Wart – Dec 28, 2014

      by , 01-05-2015 at 07:54 PM
      In this dream, I was given some advice on healing from my daughter. I walked into my bathroom, off my bedroom, and a beautiful young woman was standing there with a hoodie on, and I didn’t recognize her, but as soon as she spoke I knew it was my daughter. We moved in behind the bathroom door out of site. She had the exact same voice and facial expressions. In spite of all this I wasn’t lucid yet, but I should have clued in since my daughter has passed into Heaven. She then thanked me for trying to be with her all the time, and constantly reaching out for her. We kissed and hugged. It was so real!!! I still wasn’t lucid (if you can believe it).

      She then said, “Dad, there are phrases in the Bible on light, energy, and healing you should read.” Then I became lucid, because I remembered my plan to heal my son’s wart in a lucid dream. I then said, “What did you say?” I was sort of shocked by hearing this, since I’ve never read the Bible to any extent, nor has my daughter. She then repeated it in a more clear voice, “Dad, there are phrases in the Bible on light, energy, and healing you should read. Read the Bible!” Several people, including my wife, walked into the bedroom, and then my daughter and I walked out of the bathroom, to see who was there. As she walked out of the bathroom, she changed into somebody completely different. Now she looked like a belly dancer, and done up in a gold dress, tasseled, and bikini top. My wife gave me a shocked look, hit me on the butt with her hand, and looked at me like, “What were you doing in there?” The other people in my bedroom were men, who I didn’t recognize, and my lucidity ended and I returned to regular dream mode. I then asked the belly dancer in the gold dress for her cell phone #. My wife hit me in my butt again, and then I woke.

      The following day I Google searched the Bible on healing, and found several of references to this. It basically said if you believe in God, and have faith, then you can ask God to heal people by placing your hands on the sick and they will recover. This does clear up a few things for me, and in particular, that it’s not me who’s doing the healing, it’s God. I’m not a strongly religious person, but I’m going to listen to my daughter because she’s always right. Anyway, so now I’m going to change my strategy on healing this wart in a lucid dream. Instead of saying “Through love and consciousness heal my son’s wart. “ Rather, I’m going to say, “Dear God, please heal my son’s wart.” I’m also planning on creating an energy ball in the LD, and then pushing it into my son’s wart with my hand, and holding it there until it dissipates (healing lucid dream style!).
    3. I'm not sure what my dream is trying to tell me about my life

      by , 01-05-2015 at 09:16 AM
      Hi all, first time using this forum... I have been doing some dream interpretation of my own for awhile. I had this 2 dreams which happened over 2 nights and I am stumped on how to interpret them. As they seemed linked so I just post both of them and see how it goes. Would love to see someone help me on this. Thanks in advance!

      Dream 1:

      I was holding my black sling-bag for skates and walked out from a room (I am a skater in real life, having skated since my polytechnic days. And, I do have that bag and skates). I then met a friend. Let's call him Dan. He was my friend from Secondary school and he was asking about a girl, X, and why are we not talking as much. (In real life I do have feelings for this girl, X, and she currently is my course-mate in my University. If you need to know more about this, basically it's in my opinion, one-sided. There was a rumor going on about me being interested in her for awhile, so I can assume she knows my feelings for her, but I didn't tell her outright. We're just course-mates/acquaintances for now. And, no, they have not met in real life) In response to his questions, I simply shooked my head and smiled before walking off.

      It took me awhile to notice, but I realized that the location of the dream seems like my secondary school but there are a few differences. For one, the canteen layout is very different compared to real-life. Here, there is a separation of halal on the left and non-halal food on the right. However, true to real life, the canteen is on the left side of the parade square. On the parade square, there was some sort of rehearsal going on. I have no idea what is it about. I saw mostly yellow as I passed the crowd to go to the canteen. I also remembered that it was night time and in the dream I had a feeling that the girl, X, is in the crowd, but I chose not to find out where she really is. I left the canteen after taking a walk around the stores and left the canteen.

      I then walked along a path which leads towards the stairs to my Co-curricular Activity room. I was thinking of heading to the room as quickly as possible for my Robotics Club activities (likewise in real-life when I was in secondary school). I kept walking down the path and remembered it being a dark lane. Funnily enough I think I could see where I was going. I then saw a few people (unknown) with props and one of it was broken. I think was made out of Styrofoam and hand-painted. I did not take much notice to it and I found the stairs and climbed it. At the top, I found another 2 of my friends, called S, and T. (Both are friends whom I have met in my skating days in the Polytechnic who I respect very much. S is 1 year older than me, while T is 2 years younger than me.)

      They called out to me and greeted me. Not sure if it was coincidence, but they then started to talk about X. I could not remember what did they say/asked me, but it seems both were in consensus, like they have discussed it for awhile before talking/asking me whatever they were saying. I even forgotten what I replied them actually. (This was a critical info that I failed to recall when I woke up to log into my dream log.) Eventually it started raining and water started splashing back on us until they were drenched. But, they continued sitting there and talk about that topic. This is where I woke up, ending the first dream..


      Dream 2:
      This dream was weirder as I actually woke up once or twice in the midst of the dream and went back to the dream.

      I cannot remember the sequence of events totally, but I remember I was at the swimming pool with a few friends. V, who was my childhood friend whom I have not met in years since primary school and some of the guy friends in the girl, X's clique. I could not remember what was the conversation topic, but I'm pretty sure it was directed to me and my friend, V, suddenly mentioned X's name and the other guys' expressions were like "wow". I tried to motion him to keep quiet but when he blurted out, my mind went, "the damage was done. They knew." (In real life I am trying to keep things as low profile as possible. My guess is that a lot more people know about my interest in X.) (V and the other guys never met in real life!)

      At this point, I was called to wake up in real life as it was almost 3pm. I sort of knew the time was roughly right as I did check the clock prior to the dream happened at around past 10.30am. However, when I checked the time on my phone, it was 9:06am. So, I went back to sleep.

      Somewhere in between the timeline of the dream here onward, I woke up again, hoping to see a text message from X, there wasn't. Back in the dream, I took it to be no hope of getting closer to her.

      The next thing I knew was that I was in a hotel or some large school with a very complicated building layout. It is difficult to get around. (Truth in real life is that my school is now in a holding campus and will have its own school campus soon later this year.)

      I found myself heading out to participate in some exhibition or seminar* co-hosted by X. Many of the uni course-mates were there and I could identify a few of them at where I stood. The location of the exhibition was some sort of hall, with carpeted floor, two large posters were set-up for the event. There seemed to be a buffet spread and there were many people in the front of the hall. I didn't know what was served. I stayed away from attention and stood near to the entrance of the hall. But, somehow in the dream, I did ate something light.

      When the event started, the first thing I noticed from the crowd was X. She had done up her hair into a bundle and wearing a silver dress, greeting people. I was smiling and when I realized she took notice of me, I slipped out and walked out of the hall. I then realized I was wearing formal wear for the event.

      * When I was penning this down, I realized the event was not an exhibition or seminar as what I thought in the dream. It was a wedding.

      I was back at the Hotel/school, I was thinking on how to be more efficient in my workflow and I decided to visit the canteen in the school. There was no one actually wanting to go there as some sort of flashback in the dream. I could remember the food being served there; curry chicken, assorted vegetable dishes and there was a fruit stall at the centre of the canteen.

      I did not buy anything again and I walked out and up. I then came across a room, which I entered and asked for directions to another location to study a module. The room was beige generally and when I sat down, I noticed a stack of paper in the centre of the table. There was a lady who assisted me in my queries and directed me to the place with a schematic drawing of a map. I did not notice her features though. However, what spooked me was that before I left the room, she mentioned something along the line, "you all will move in here soon. By then you'll know".

      After I exited the room, the dream ended.


      Sorry for the long post. I do hope someone can help me in giving me insight of what the dream means if there are any meaning to it. If not, just leaving it here as a read!

    4. First lucid in 2 weeks.

      by , 01-05-2015 at 09:13 AM
      (I went to sleep in a car on the way out of state.)
      I dreamt woke up in my bed at night, the room was exceedingly bright even though in my heart I knew it was night time. I did the hand RC and my fingers were growing in weird angles.

      ************************************************** ****Que: Lucidity****************************************** **********************
      I took a moment to observe how I think while dreaming and found it shockingly similar to waking life, I had lucids before but none had ever come to this level of clarity. I live in the basement so it came as a shock when I opened my door and came out on the front lawn. I walked through a town that looked nothing like mine and explored the world around me(especially touching the concrete walls and looking at how much detail they had). I walked to my high school and found out that it is in the same relative location as waking life which was weird since i did not recognize anything else. Standing at the corner to drive into the student parking lot was my dream guide Morpheus(Aren't I lucky?). He ushered me into the school and said that he could not follow. I explored the school and to my surprise I had my school laptop by my side without ever remembering to bring it. Then a tall fat kid came and tried to bully me by stealing it. I felt the emotional response of rage even knowing that this was a dream, and so I grabbed him, and ate his soul dementor style(sans kiss thankfully there was SOME distance). I explored some more and found an abandoned janitors closet, at this point shit went down and all the lights in the school dimmed to a dark red and blood painted the walls. Instantly I thought of the demo to silent hill P.T and my subconscious (bless/curse its soul) decided to go with my expectations and made a baby cry in the closet(I could only see through a crack in the doorway. I then heard my dreamguide's voice saying "I know the only me is me, are you sure the only you is you?" I thought wryly to myself My subconscious and I are the same and different, and the only you is NOT you since you are a part of me. I turned around to fast to walk in the other direction and found myself in an accidental scene change. Now my friend Jacob sat in a dark office with me but he was different. He had sharklike teeth and pure black eyes. I rolled mine and said "Now what the fuck are YOU supposed to represent." "I am everything you hate about yourself." he replied darkly. That confused me as there was nothing similar between me and my friend from school but I had just got off the phone with him when I dozed off so maybe that was it. I was like "Hah no I don't have the time to deal with nightmares, you do realize this is MY dream right? I can obliterate you with just a thought." He grinned challengingly at me and I found my powers not working. I laughed at the audacity of my subconscious and overpowered it through aggressive control if passive would not do it. I went into tiger stance like Udyr from league of legends laid the smack down hard. After I was finished pummeling him I went out of the school and walked on the road out of town, thinking about philosophical questions, deep meanings, and the nature of my reality that was around me. Eventually I woke up and opened my laptop to write this down.
    5. First Extended Lucid Dream Experience

      by , 01-05-2015 at 05:29 AM
      I was in a normal dream at my grandparents house I was walking down stairs then all of a sudden I realised I was in a dream, I sat down on the stairs looked around it was all fairly good visually. I then looked at my arm do do a reality check and my whole arm was missing so I was sure I was dreaming. I got up looked to my right and decided I was going to fire electricity out of my hands. Blue beams of lights started flowing out of my hands. I turned around and went into the next room, here I first tried to spawn a motorbike to ride of the balcony but this didn't work. So just to spawn something in I looked down at the bed and expected a sword to be there. I picked up the sword and was swinging it around for a while.

      The sword was flashing however it was like it was a hologram flashing in and out. After this I placed it back down and decided to preform another reality check and my finger went through my hand, then continuing on from this I decided to feel the textures of the room and my self. I placed my finger on top of my tongue and I could feel it was a bit wet and also noticed the view of my nose cross eyed of my face. I then proceeded out to the balcony where I was thinking of doing some high jump parkour from house to house, I jumped up onto the edge of the building a looked down and saw one of my friends, this is where everything messed up because I remember going to talk to him and lost my sense of reality. But I still remember part of this dream I went to talk to him normally but instead this time instead of thinking I was in a lucid dream I remember I had a lucid dream and I told him about it in my dream.

    6. DILD - Advanced TOTM

      by , 01-04-2015 at 05:16 AM (Ophelia's Book O' Fun II)
      I took a nap after work, which was right after my boss dropped me off at home irl. In the nonlucid part of the dream, instead of dropping me off, he took me back to his house because his wife needed him to attend to the kids, and take out trash and some other random shit. FINALLY when it was time to go, he just grabbed a snack and sat down in front of the TV, and I was like "Dood, gotta get home to my kid!" He was like "OH ok" and jumped up. As we went outside (and this was really weird), I saw a red bird fly by the yard. For some weird reason, I felt like it was a dream sign lol. I've never seen this red bird before that I can recall, but in the dream I felt like I had been dupped by it before. I'll take it! So I just said "See ya Mike," and decided to fly. Then I thought of the fly backwards totm! But my vision went bye bye. So I sat down in lotus position (wtf), but ended up waking up.

      I fell back to sleep and I don't remember the start of this second dream, but I DO recall seeing Angeline Jolie in my room, and another guy. The 3 of us decided to go to the shower for a 3some. As I passed the mirror in my bathroom, my reflection was the most amazing gorgeous man I have ever seen. Like holy wow gorgeous. I got lucid from that. I flexed a bit, then I looked like me again. So I left the bathroom and recalled the backwards totm again. I was in the livingroom, and we have a giant mirror there. I looked at myself in the mirror, and just started walking backwards. Easy peasy. Although, my reflection decided to be more creative. It walked backwards properly as I did, but then it backwardsly climbed up onto some furniture that was in the reflection, but not on my side, if that makes sense. Then my reflection started to have some japanese horror little-girl look to it, and it gave me goose bumps. This is cool: I could feel them on my sleeping body, the goosebumps. And so I looked at my dream arm, but no goosebumps. I remarked how I could feel them irl, but not see them in the dream. I looked up at the mirror again and could see a man's naked body behind me. I turned to look, but no one was there. I looked at the mirror again, and he was there. So I reached behind me and it was an old dude and I could feel his old weewee all hard and old lol. I kinda squealed and left the room. I don't remember anything else.
    7. The Healing Kiss or something like that

      by , 01-03-2015 at 09:33 PM (Schmaven's Dream Journal of Randomness)
      I've been injured, and somewhat maimed by machinery or something like that, and just stand there, bleeding and in pain. Suddenly a woman comes out of no where and kisses me upside down. With her upside down, floating through the air, her dark brown hair hanging down below (above?) her. As she kisses me (just a peck) I feel some energy pass from her to me, and heal my wounds, eliminate my pain, and also change my color. I got a lot more tan with each little kiss, and could see the color change spread down my arms and hands. I don't recognize this woman yet, but I feel like I know her.

    8. Meditation in NREM

      by , 01-02-2015 at 06:44 PM (Threecat's Dreamtime)
      Trying to fall asleep consciously. Begin attempt at 10:40 pm. After sometime of lying on threshold, roll over and check watch: 12:30 AM. RC and am awake. Surprised so much time has passed, but certain I did not lose consciousness. Lie back on back, just try to fall asleep. Falling sensation,vivid HI (can't remember it now, but I recognized it when I saw it), and then falling completely backward. "Land" in body. Warmth spreads over body. Body begins breathing rhythmically--fell asleep with hands on stomach, difficult to get deep breaths. I just let body do what it wants. Goes on for some time (30 minutes?). Undercurrent of thoughts, but I am able to easily observe them. Just observe thoughts while lying, and use breath as anchor.

      Breathing begins to slow down. Continues to slow, warmth continues to spread through body until it is difficult to feel body. Can barely feel body now or hear breathing. I am just aware of my heart beat and some undercurrent thoughts.

      Vision begins to brighten and expand, and outer awareness that is left very quickly dimming. I feel this is the approach of delta sleep. Heart rate increases until vision returns to black. I can hear my breathing again. I rest here observing thoughts and practicing mindfulness of breathing until my butt begins to hurt. Leg is also in weird position. I lie like this for some time, hoping to enter the "bright awareness" again. I finally move, and decide to try one last time. Am able to move body without fully returning to normal waking state. Pain is too much after a while. Roll over and check watch. It is 3:55 AM.

    9. "Prep School DILD"

      by , 12-31-2014 at 08:13 PM (Threecat's Dreamtime)
      I am a student at a prep school. I am being bullied by the gym teacher (who looks like a psychotic mix between Dolph Lundgren and Josh Hartnett He tells me he'll give me a black star--punch me in the forehead, but so administrators won't see any marks. Then he'll get some of the other kids to "beat my ass." They will "put me in a circle" and punch me.

      I get in trouble for something with a friend (not someone I know in WL), and we both get sent to the principal's office. Principal is telling my friend how he will get him kicked out of this school. My friend starts crying, and asking why I won't be getting kicked out as well. The principal says the circumstances are different for me. The principal goes on, looking through some thick book, and saying things like, "Seems there is an opening at such-and-such school." I scoot my chair (it's a rolley chair) closer to see what he is reading.

      It's an album of Winnie the Pooh pictures. I laugh. He sees that I've seen the album and smiles. He then kindly lectures us on behaving in class, and tells us we need to do that. I say, "I am going to shoot straight with you," to the principal. I tell him about the gym teacher's threats. He slowly transforms from a slender, bald man with glasses to a heavier, blonde-bearded guy. The bearded guy tells us how they called the gym teacher "the cheat pro" in high school because he always cheated. I ask incredulously if he went to school here. The principal says he did not. His beard has changed into some weird metal clip flapping from his chin. He also has a clip hanging from his lower lip, his ears, and maybe nose (?). The clips flap as he talks. This seems vaguely unprofessional to me, but don't notice it as weird

      The principal has now changed into a woman. She says she is sure the teacher did not mean his threats, and that he has to have some way to control the class. I tell her she is wrong, and that I fully expect to be beaten up soon. I tell her I will let her know if that happens.

      My friend and I are heading back to class. I realize I forgot my book bag in the principal's office. I also am trying to remember what my science homework is. I realize I have done no science homework the entire year. Does that mean I just have a zero in the class? Why didn't the principal mention my grade? It suddenly dawns on me that I might be dreaming. I nose pinch twice
      and can breathe. My friend is looking at me expectantly. I think to tell him this is a dream, but then remember how DCs tend to wig out on me if I do that. I say nothing.

      I also realize I don't need to go back to the office for the backpack, as I can just summon it here. I reach behind me, feeling for the strap. I feel the correct texture, and pull the backpack around to me. It has some orange coloration, but it otherwise almost exactly like the back pack I have in WL. I am satisfied. I then decide to head outside.

      There are many students in the main hall--everyone seems to be heading to class. I am walking down a wide staircase with students going up and down. I see a boy trying to lift a duffel bag up onto the step above him--the step he is trying to get up is somehow very high, about four or five feet. I lift the bag up for him, reasoning that this should not take too much of my dream time. He thanks me (?) and then says I should lift bags in a certain way--I should "waffle" them. Whatevs

      Another student stops me, and starts talking. I stop and listen, but it comes out garbled. I ask him to repeat himself. He shakes his head, and says he was just going to "cheer me on" or something. I realize this is just a DC, and therefore is not real. "You're fine," I say to him, and continue on to the front steps of the school. As I approach, I remember to observe the dream. What would that entail here? I pay more attention. Doors are made of glass. I go outside onto the main steps.

      Something is now in my mouth--I'm chewing. Two girls approach me. They want me to take a survey or something. I spit the food out of my mouth in a retching fashion to see how they will react. They just stare at the chewed up food on the ground. I
      wake up. Go for the DEILD but no
    10. LD Meditation

      by , 12-31-2014 at 03:31 AM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      #395 - SSILD - 5:00AM

      I somehow become lucid and have some impossible sex with my wife. At one point I am filled with something like guilt; I wasn't going to use a LD for sex. However, it is my wife and I am really enjoying it so, what the hell?

      Spoiler for sex details:


      I must have enjoyed myself a little too much because, I eventually lose lucidity and find myself in something like and FA. We are in my old bedroom at my parents old place and D.N. from work has set up his office in a small section of the room. He has interrupted my love making with my wife and I scramble to find my clothes. I am pissed and embarrassed at his intrusion and have a lot to say about it. My mom shows up and I loudly tell her how the "asshole" woke me up and hour early. I go downstairs to have breakfast but my dad is being obnoxious and I leave the house.

      *Memory gap*

      Something about being a truck driver. I need to unload my trailer but another trucker gets in first. My memory is bad here, but this is what I think must have happened: As I wait, I become introspective and aware. I end up having what feels like a tremendously long lucid adventure in a GTA 5 world though, I remember almost nothing. Something about being invincible and all around bad-ass while I fight some gang members.

      I have a pause in the action at some point. I feel energized and emotional about the epic adventure I just had. My lucidity reaches a high level now and I recall that I had a goal in mind. I wanted to meditate while in the dream state. I close my eyes and clear my mind. Suddenly I am weightless and my dream body dissolves. I become a ball and begin to spin as I bounce around in a tight cube. I say, "Ah this is just like SP sensations. It's really not that cool." I decide to see how long I can maintain meditation and go back at it. Of course, my concentration doesn't last long and I quickly have another FA. I should have anchored myself with a mantra or a sensation.


      I am in some bedroom. There is a Buddhist monk sleeping in a twin bed along the wall. I am now holding a dough-ball about the size of a baseball. I tap the monk's arm wanting to tell him about my amazing lucid dream. I am still really excited about whatever the hell I did in GTA Land and, In amazement I say, "Holy hell!" The monk only stirs a bit and rolls over. I decide that it's going to take more effort to wake the monk so I feel I need to put the dough-ball down. However, I need to preserve it and not let it stick to wherever I put it. I look for some flour but only find baby powder. Close enough. I powder the dough up and set it on dresser. I realize that I am not quite sure what my dream was about. I spend some time thinking it over as I wake up.

    11. Chain of non-lucids and DILDs

      by , 12-30-2014 at 10:44 AM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      Crisis and sleeping in wardrobe

      I was in my home. It was during the great crisis. Government have sent a message to citizens, that there can be no more than three persons in home. My family told me to hide in the wardrobe, and they won't find me there. I tried to sleep, but I couldn't. My youngr sister came. She tried to hide with me, but I told her to get lost. She went to mother, and told her that I'm drunk and rude. Mother came to me. I told her that I'm not drunk. She told me that government overcame the crisis, and I can sleep in my bed again.

      DILD - the friendly wolf

      I was outside my home, tidying our barn. Then I saw a wolf. It was angry, and barked at me.
      I become lucid, and started whistling to the wolf. Then I told Why are you so aggresive? Confused wolf replied I am a wolf! What I'm supposed to do? I told Of course you are a wolf.... The wolf attacked me before I fully replied. Then I shouted You are a wolf, but kind and polite one! The wolf stopped barking, or trying to bite me. It replied Oh, I'm sorry about that, friend.
      I wanted to go somewhere with my new friend, but I lost my lucidity, and another non-lucid dream started.

      Detective haunted by nightmares

      It was in 1923. I was a private detective. I drove to the great metropoly by train. I went out of train. My client told me to search for some bodies in the sewers. I wanted to go to the city instead. I walked from the train station pavement to the cobbled road. Suddenly I heard moaning and screams. I went on, a little frightened by the voices. Then I heard a gravely voice telling me Go straight that way.. I have moved back, but I overcame fear and went on. I felt stron pain in my chest, and my body was more and more numb. Then, I have reached a chapel, and all the voices ended.

      DILD - being a security camera

      I was back in primary school. I made an RC and become lucid. I saw a security camera hanging from the ceiling. I went to it, jumped and hanged from it. I pushed myself into the camera, and become one with it. I sensed someone close. I turned right, and saw a confused man looking at me. While turning, I felt like my whole body was streched. I haven't seen any camera effects while being one, my vision was the same all the time. I tried to stop being a camera. At first I couldn't change back, but I focused and went out.
      I went straight the corridor, and lost lucidity. I woke up.
    12. Impossible Hill

      by , 12-29-2014 at 06:46 PM (Schmaven's Dream Journal of Randomness)
      Riding my bicycle along a road, it begins to get steeper and steeper. There are other people also on bicycles who had to stop and walk their bikes. I even see a few cars that are unable to climb the hill. It's so steep, that it's hard to walk up. I'm in a higher gear, but the hill came on so fast that I am unable to downshift as quickly as I would like, and just muscle through it for a few pedal strokes as the bike downshifts. People tell me I can't make it, but I believe I can. My legs feel like they are on fire, as they shake with all my energy going into each pedal stroke. I'm still not in the lowest gear, but I know that if I downshift, I will lose all my momentum and that will be the end of it for me. So I push on, letting my legs burn, shake, and otherwise crank the pedals in each revolution. As the hill gets even steeper, I push even harder - beyond where I thought my maximum limit existed. I even start to gain some speed as the hill gets steeper. It's like my legs are growing stronger the more I push myself. Passing beyond everyone, I feel happy that I didn't give up when no one else believed in me.

      I take this dream as encouragement to always believe in myself and give life everything I've got, no matter how things look to others, and even no matter how hopeless things may look to me.
    13. Disco, zombie apocalypse

      by , 12-29-2014 at 02:53 PM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      At the disco

      I was at the disco with my pals. There was a disco ball, and rhythmical music. I somehow liked it, and started to dance.

      *I don't like discos and dancing, it was a good opportunity to DILD, but I missed it.*

      Zombie apocalypse

      *This dream is ridiculous, and full of wrong assumptions.

      I was in the ruins of gigantic metropoly. With a group of survivors, we were hiding in a self made shelter underground, near the surface level. It all started when nuclear weaponry was used during the cold war. Radiation caused weird mutation in people. Soldiers were killing everyone, zombies, and civilians to stop the plague from spreading. I was searching for resources, and I stumbled upon a squad of soldiers. They were wearing green suits, and trench coats. I escaped from their ferocious onslaught, right in the moment when they were attacked by zombies. I couldn't come back for weapons, as the area was contaminated. I returned to the shelter, only to find one priest inside. He told me that everyone escaped, and while trying they were eaten by zombies. I told him that we're low on food, and that soon we'll have to find some. We only had some bread, sausages, sweets and two oranges.
    14. "Toilet Summon" and "Observing the Grocery Store"

      by , 12-28-2014 at 09:16 PM (Threecat's Dreamtime)
      5:38 AM: 2 hour WBTB (ungh, accidental). Then I am sitting in a car, parked beside a building. I am deciding on something, maybe radio stations. It occurs to me that I might be dreaming, but I brush it off--a thought that arises, but then gets subsumed again before I have a chance to really address it. I think about driving somewhere, then realize I have been sitting in the car for sometime. I get out and go inside the building. As I am walking in, remember I wanted to LD and am pretty sure this is a dream right now. I nose pinch and can breathe.

      I decide to spin to stabilize. Dream blacks out (as spinning usually causes this for me). I continue walking down the hallway, visualize the scene I was just in. It slowly returns. I enter some doorways, and quickly become disoriented--there are doors and hallways all over the place. No big deal--it's a dream. I can't get lost. I jump up and touch the ceiling, testing gravity. Keep walking, and find myself in a restroom. I recognize this as "dream locale"--I often dream about public toilets In one stall, there is no urinal. I decide to test summoning. I visualize a urinal, look around the side of the stall, and then back. Peekaboo--no urinal. C'mon, now . . . . I think, and try a few more times. Finally, a urinal appears. Cool. I try to do something else with the urinal (don't remember exactly what) but when I look again, there is some pipe extending out of the wall and emptying into the toilet. I spin again and the dream fades. I reappear in the restroom. I
      wake up. Try to DEILD, but nothing.

      Lay in bed for approximately an hour. Just try to drift off normally, with the intent to be lucid and observe the dream state. I am at a grocery store. I'm outside, digging through a bin of marshmallow products. I eat something (maybe a single, unwrapped marshmallow) and then begin examining labels to see which marshmallows have vegan ingredients. I recognize the brand of one as not vegan. I also see some cookies sandwiches with marshmallow in the middle. These are probably not vegan, I reason. The fact that they are unwrapped strikes me as odd, but not terribly so. I start to go inside the grocery store. Some fast-paced techno music is playing. I remember I am at a grocery store (a dream sign of mine), so it would be a good idea to nose pinch. I do. I'm awake. I think that I should be a little more thorough, however, and pinch about seven or eight more times. Little by little, I feel like I can breathe, Until I can breathe. I CAN BREATHE.

      I begin stripping off my jacket because I feel hot (think this was some residue from the original dream plot). Inside, techno is louder. I'm no longer in a grocery store, but an office building with multicolored, vibrantly-glowing cubicles (reds, greens, and blues I remember). In one of them, as I approach, a stickman in shirt and tie is mirroring my movements exactly. I almost run to interact but then remember I wanted to take it easy, and just observe. I take in the visual details of this place, turning around. Above me, there are men in suits walking around on a higher floor. I think to fly up there, but no, seriously, just observe. As I watch, the landscape becomes more malleable. The distance in height is shortening and shortening--but this is more of a perspective thing: almost as if I looked and judged incorrectly the distance before, and my "eyes" are slowly correcting the error. Interesting. I hear wife's alarm
      and wake up. Try for a DEILD, but no.

    15. DILD: The inner fears

      by , 12-28-2014 at 10:34 AM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      *Had some troubles with sleeping that night. Happens to me regularly, although it usually lasts for 10 - 40 minutes before I fall asleep, but sleepless nights like that happen. I have fallen asleep at about 6:30 o'clock. I recall two dreams. One was a nightmare.*

      First dream

      I was sitting with a girl I once was friends with, now were just passing acquaintances. We were seating near the table. I was sitting against the white, newly built wall. I think she looked a bit better in that dream. She had brown hair reaching her shoulders, and she was wearing glasses, and light-blue shirt. She had a bit pale carnation, as always. She looked happy, but I was suspicious, feeling that there is something wrong.

      Second dream - DILD

      I was back at primary school. My body was changed to how it was back then. We were playing a game with teachers. Some of students got the nails, and the rest had balloons. The goal was to keep the balloon as long as you can. I was holding the nail. I looked at the school entrance, and saw a suspicious looking boy, wearing a purple jacket and a black cap. I punctured one of the balloons and went upstairs. There was a teacher waiting near a class. Brunette, tall woman after her forties. I was going into the class, turned around and saw that boy again. I was frightened, and tried to run to the teacher, as she could help me.
      Suddenly I realise that it's just a dream. I forced myself to come closer to the boy, and face my fear. As I came closer, my body felt more numb. When I finally reached him, he made a wicked smile, and everything turned black.
      I woke up in my bed, shaking in fear. I couldn't overcome the fear, even if it had the most ridiculous form I've ever seen in a nightmare. I tried to DEILD, but I couldn't fall asleep until I stopped shaking.
