memorable

Last night my dreams were realistic plentiful, but just completely boring job dreams. Then while going to my car to go home, I am hit by a car. My leg was crushed and bent backwards with a fiendishly realistic sensation of broken bones and pain. Suddenly I realize I cant be at work because I recently saw it was dark outside, but now it's bright and sunny. I was never ever so glad to realize I was dreaming, I decided very quickly right then and there to end the dream. I did everything I could think of that would probably end the dream and I was never so relived to go back to my cozy sleep paralyses ridden body. But here is where the nightmare began, an unbelievable thing happened. I could clearly feel my real body going through sleep paralyses while, and I still can't believe this really happened: The *beep* sensation of a broken bent backwards leg (pain and all) followed me from the dreamworld! It was as tho the dream body and real body were one sensation scrambled together in my mind. I was absolutely 110% convinced at the time that I had fallen off my bed and really had done this to my leg. So I tried to move my leg and it was moving with a sensation that it was bending around an impossible angle, with an unreal sensation of all these broken bones and pain (no words can describe how real it was). Sleep paralyses was weaning down, but my foot still felt as it was. I began to feel absolute panic, thinking am I going to walk again ect, then a shift happened, I felt a split. And two separate body's one where my leg was horrifically painful and one where it felt no pain. I knew one of these leg's has to become less real and vanish. And so the painful leg slowly became the less real of the two right leg's until my body with just a memory of sleep paralyses felt no pain. Yes as my title suggests this is one I will never forget. Afterward I walked around my room and pondered for hours about how realistic dreams can truly become, I didn't dare go back to sleep to fade the dreams freshness. I also thought about what Aron Lee Ralston (read 127hours) had to go through, I can't imagine the courage to do what he had to do. All in all tho the experience was humbling and rewarding. Never forget your dreams, even the bad ones.

This is a dream i had back in 2010. Picked it randomly from my dream journal.

So in my dream I wake up beside a deflated hot air balloon in the middle of a field. I look around and spot my friend. Confused I walk over to her and say, “Where are we? How did we get here?” She laughs and replied “Well it’s really no wonder you don’t remember; you ate way too many shrooms!” Not being one that ever partakes in such things I say I didn’t eat any and she says, “Not that you knew what you were eating” She gives me a menacing smile and I just shrug. “Whatever, let’s get out of here.
Later after walking to a town we walk into a random shop. I spot a super-hot guy and we start chatting. Sometime he abruptly stops and glances around nervously. “We have to get out of here. Like right now!” He says. “Why?” I am now also looking around but see nothing. “Death Eaters!” He grabs me and my friend and throws open a small closet door and shoves us inside, then follows himself. He shuts the door then opens it again only it opens up into somewhere completely different.
He tells us we are at Hogwarts. After meeting Dumbledore Death Eaters along with Voldemort show up and a huge battle ensues. I personally fight Voldemort. I Beat him but he gets away swearing he will get his revenge.
Later(Dreams jumps or I don’t remember what happened in-between) I’m sitting in a bar. I man comes in, spots me, and goes back outside. I here from outside “Yep she’s in there” “Let go then.” I instantly know it’s Voldemort so get up and make a run for it. I run to the back of the bar and open the first door I see and run inside. Oddly the room I run into is my brother’s. He is playing Halo and yells for me to get out of his room. “Can’t.” I reply “Voldemort is out there” My brother laughs “He isn’t real” Not paying attention to him any longer I look for an escape route but the one door is the only way in or out.
Voldemort bursts in blowing the door to bits. My brother with a shocked face yells “SHIT!” Then Voldemort Avada Kedavraed him and he died. Then using a spell lifts me off the ground and says “Any last words?” I smile and reply “Yes actually.” And it was that moment I woke up.

The reason i was smiling at the end was because i kind of realized none of it was real. It was like the moment right before you come to the conclusion that your dreaming. To bad i woke up, probably would have gone lucid.

Last night I had the best dream it wasn't long but it was awsome. So it started like. Me waking up in a fast moving car. Then I saw skellotons :hide: I had pistol in my hands so I decided to got on the roof and started shooting at the skellotons. Onscreen I noticed that my best friend (spartinpastic) was driving a armored lambo I was so.amazed I was like half of the dream but then Alex used nitrous when we were on a ramp and then we landed but then we blew.up and died and then I woke up

After working out (more intense than I usually do) I decided to take a nap. I also decided to try and hit 2 birds with one stone and attempt another WILD.

WILD Attempt #7
I lie down, turn on my white noise app (which is turning out to be very helpful) and close my eyes. I remember how much trouble I have with concentrating on my eyelids and throw a hat on over them for extra measure. After 15-20 minutes something is happening that hasn't happened before. My legs feel like they are floating off into the air. My arms quickly follow. Could I finally have reached sleep paralysis. I see some kind of picture in front of me. It looks like a glowing blue spiders web (Not the round kind, a more disorderly web, random patterns and all the wonderful stuff). My heart starts beating hard, not fast, but hard. I feel like my heart has moved right up into my head, it is literally pulsating. Everything calms down after about 20-30 seconds. Am I in a dream now? Probably not, I can hear the white noise and feel that hat around my head. I may as well check though. I take the hat off, plug my nose and breathe. Alas, I'm awake.

Considerable progress though

Dream: January 25, 2012

No memory of how it all began.

On another bike ride, this time in a town south of where I currently live. I went into this street, where there was a car, some sort of apartment complex and a parking lot. The road banked sharply to my left, but to my right was some kind of downsloping hill and a passage.

Lieutenant Court, it said. Some kind of no-parking sign was near by, yet below was a very wide field of grass. Opposite where I went was another long street and intersection. The sky was more cloudy than clear. I went down the court, which stretched probably 100 metres, zipping down as I went along.

The trip back up was more time-consuming, as I walked back up the side of a grassy ravine. Headed toward a row of houses, but sometime later, I was back.

This time, the scene is a bit darker. I zoom down the same court road, as I did the first time. Yet by the time I climb back up, standing on the ledge of the grassy pit was a guard. He scared me, warned me about the no tresspassing signs, which I hadn't seen the first time. Rattled, I headed on home, and took one last look over the ravine. Some rows of buildings and tall apartments in the distance, a new and recent development perhaps.

Flash ahead, and I'm sitting in a classroom, debating about something. Don't know whether I won or lost, but it was a familiar topic, in my philosophy discussion class we were arguing. Raised some points I had in real life.

I woke up a short time later.

My first WILD (again, almost)

I had woken up in the middle of the night again, like always. I go to try a WILD again, intentionally. My first (almost) WILD was unintentional, as I had woke up to sleep paralysis and the hypnagogic hallucinations. Anyway, I'm laying in my bed for about a good 3 minutes before I notice sleep paralysis. It didn't really overcome me, but I knew it was there. I started hearing whispers, and seeing some visions (I don't remember what ) in my eyelids. The voices grew a bit louder and the images got clearer. I don't remember what happened, but I do remember it all stopping and I went back to sleep (after a reality check).

DEILD

This is one of my most interesting experiences ever. I had been having a dream, I don't remember quite what it was all about, but the last thing I saw in the dream was me and a lot of other people lined up shoulder to shoulder. I wake up from the dream. I keep myself from moving. Somehow, my debate coach appears in my mind(I wasn't in a dream state yet) and asks "Have any dreams?" I said not that I could remember. Then I suddenly remembered the dream I just had, I told it to him and instantly my body feels a bit numb. I started moving off my bed, in the direction my feet were. However, I was still laying perfectly in my bed, like if I was moving outside of my body. Behind my eyelids, I see a bright purple shape. It appeared to be moving forward, or farther away from my eyelids. It was spinning in a circle and had a tail. It started to become more clearer. For some reason, my eyes pop open and everything stops. I wait about 2 minutes not moving, do a reality check, then go back to bed.

I had this dream when I was five and have had the same dream three times after. The last time I had it was eight years ago. I am now nineteen.

This dream starts out in a beautiful forest somewhere. The sun is shining through the tall trees (which is rare since 99% of my dreams are cloudy during the daytime). The only sounds are that of the grass beneath my feet as I walk and the soft rustling of the tree branches in the wind.

I'm walking through said forest when I come across two wooden doors standing by themselves near the edge of a darker part of the forest. The door on the left slowly opens.

Through the left door is an arcade with a lot of people in it. This room seems packed to maximum capacity, yet the people there walk around with ease. I take one step towards the left door when the right door begins to open.

Through the right door is a boardwalk amusement park with not so many people. There are a lot of concession stands and game stands but the only ride visible is the ferris wheel right at the edge of the boardwalk.

I enter through the right door. Instantly, I am surrounded by my family (five, including me) who are all smiling at me. I smile back and look to the ferris wheel. Behind it, the sun is setting on the horizon. The water reflects the sun, making the view even more beautiful.

The dream skips to where my family and I are in one of the cars on the ferris wheel and we are slowly ascending to the top of the ferris wheel. We get to the very top and the ferris wheel stops. My family is still smiling as I turn from them to look at the sunset once again. I turn back and they're gone... but not only them. All of the people who I saw at the boardwalk have disappeared. The sound of the rustling trees is still clearly heard. All alone, I stare off into the sunset. I begin to cry.

I wake up with tears streaming down my face.

To this day, I don't know if I was crying because I was alone, because of the beauty of the sunset, or both.

I was on this boat and I heard my angels voices telling me ‘danger Leonie, jump- jump into the water’…at first I kept looking around to see where the voices were coming from but then I heard the voices again telling me to ‘jump now’ and so I immediately jumped into the ocean…I swam to this Bowie and climbed on top of it…I watched as these sharks rammed into the small boat and destroyed it…I started waving my hands and yelling out for help…then this other boat came along…there were several crew men on board….the shark rammed into the Bowie and it did a complete 360 in the water…I saw myself underneath the water and the massive water that over came my body….I struggled to keep my breath…that was so amazing almost in slow motion…before fully emerging again right side-up…I immediately jumped off to this very isolated nearby boardwalk…it was surrounded by a brick wall and a long board walk…I climbed up and started to run but then the shark also made it on top and then it had legs and it started running after me….meanwhile I am running the far distant boat was getting closer & closer now…I could see them while I was running….the long boardwalk seemed endless….and then finally I got to the complete dead end and jumped up on this tall wooden box…the shark however was running so fast he slid off the boardwalk back into the ocean…I climbed down and once again the shark started chasing me again….this time coming back the boat was close enough and I jumped on the vessel…one of the crew men handed the captain this long arrow & bow and the captain waiting for the exact right moment finally shot at the shark and killed it.

Once on the boat I kept yelling for the crew to take off…the other sharks started ramming into the side of the boat….me and the crew did our best to grab onto anything we could get a hold of….I kept yelling, ‘we have to get out of here…we have to get away’…

I was swimming at my beach front house….I was playing Frisbee with wolf until he got tired and then gave him his usual snacks…as I went for my morning swim for my exercise…I made it all the way to the bowie when I saw this huge shark in the water…I climbed up on the bowie and started to shut ‘shark-shark’…my neighbors started to gather and was watching and pointing…the two teenage boys/brothers started video tapping everything…just then wolf started swimming towards me…I started yelling for him to go back as I was so fearful the shark would eat him…I thought about jumping in the ocean and use the life raft board I had and jam it in its mouth while I tried to escape…just then the shark hit the bowie so hard knocking me into the ocean I was unconscious…but just then these three dolphins showed up…I didn't’t know there was three of them at first…the first two was doing flips in the air just as happy as can be…my neighbors started pointing to the dolphins…

Just then the two dolphins started attacking the shark…and the shark started to swim away…meanwhile the other dolphin dived deep into the ocean directly underneath me and he carried me on his back…bought me up to the surface…I was still unconscious…at this time wolf caught up to us and he used his teeth to pull the other side of me…there was this strange light directly behind me.

When I got to the beach one of my neighbors picked me up and laid me on the sand where he started to give me cpr…wolf shook all the water off himself and then ran over to me and started to lick me on the face…I woke up and started calling out wolf’s name.

About two days later the two teenage boys stopped by to show me their footage they took…I played it on my big screen…they did some sort of enhancement on the image they saw and it turned out to be this Angel that was carrying me as well…the boys put it on youtube…one day I was coming out of my kitchen when the news was talking about me and what happened…they said the video went vireo and so many people was calling in saying that due to them watching the video they were instantly healed of their various illnesses…they showed this one grandmother…and she was talking about how she felt this heat go through her body and then she was healed…another man claimed he was blind and now able to see…everywhere I went people was coming up to me telling me how them and their love ones were healed….I was driving with wolf in the car and this one car started blowing their horn…this guy pulled up side of me and was shouting I healed his mother…

They also showed these scientist and marine biologists that was saying in all the years they’ve lived there they have never seen a shark or dolphins in that area…they don’t live in that type of an ocean…they were very puzzled as where the animals came from…they said the dolphins had to have traveled some 3,000 miles….I received a letter the city was throwing a parade in wolf’s honor…I took wolf to his groomer this gay, black guy and told him to give him a very special hair cut I told him I wanted him to look like a ‘wolf’…at the parade the dog company pedigree representatives showed up and they heard me talking on one of the interviews saying how much wolf eat’s and how costly he can be…so they offered to pay for all of wolf’s food and treats for one full year…when I went to pay for his haircut the guy told me wolf could have his hair cut at any time…he was offering to cut his hair for one full year as well…I couldn’t believe it…

The news were now covering the video now got 7 billion hits…my Indian family from Arizona called me as they were hearing of the news as well….they were very concerned about all the media attention surrounding wolf because wolf was a real wolf and not a dog…I told them not to worry everything was going to be okay…

My LDs lately have gotten really really repetitive. I'm getting tired of talking about the same 2 themes. I'm going to try spicing things up tomorrow. As soon as I can think of something. One thing I will say before going into detail about the dreams, my Lucid Mirror technique is just getting better and better. It is my best and most reliable friend in my lucid dreams. That's why he got a name. With capitalization.

I had 2 or 3 gender swap dreams again. They were shorter than the last ones, but this time I blame my horrible sleep last night. I woke up at 3am and didn't get back to sleep until almost 8am. Good thing I got the day off today! Only thing I'll say about the dreams is that I not only was able to summon up beautiful mirrors whenever I wanted to do my lucid lock trick, but I could pass by anything with a shiny surface and get the same result. This time, I passed an oven, and the shiny glass surface worked. I see my reflection, looks like me, then I widen my eyes, and they turn pale pale green, with swirly movement in the irises. I give my reflection a mischievous grin, and she smiles back. W00t now it's time to play. No sex details here, sorry, but one time I did whip it out in front of a mirror lol. I will neeeeever forget that.

Then I woke up about 10ish, still really sleepy, so I thought I'd try for some more LDs. The last ones ended too quick. I started having alot of those kinda scary WILD vibrations. Then, guess who visited me. Yep, Demon Danny. This time he was a true true dick. I didn't have eye paralysis this time, but I was really struggling to talk. I had to use so much energy to talk to him. Which is kinda how I'd been training him, by reasoning with him, yelling at him etc. Even my body movements were getting more and more laborious. One time, I saw him in my bed, so I struggled out a "Come on over here," and he got on top of me. He kissed me for a moment, but then grabbed my hand and started biting it without letting go. Mind you, I am lucid, so it's not too scary. Just ANNOYING. So I wake up, and I can feel the pain in my fingers subside. I tried a couple more times, still with the strange WILD vibrations and sounds, but he was being so stubborn and I could barely talk so I just said fuck it and woke up.

I don't mind the gender-swappy LDs so much, because I have more control (they just tend to be shorter than I want). But Demon Danny is a royal shit head, and I'm struggling alot with his behavior. I'm going to have to try something different with those. If I'm going to share my bed with another man, even if it is just in my mind, I'm going to need alot more cooperation.

My recall is getting a bit better again! Managed to remember three in some good detail this time.

#1 - This Party's Gonna Blow

There was some kind of pool party going on at my house, so I was out back swimming and just talking to people for a while. Some people were talking about how they had placed explosives on the water tower in the middle of the pool (yes, like a legitimate full-sizes water tower ) just so they could watch it blow up, but I was more interested in the jungle-like foliage around our pool and the couple of pterodactyls flying around the tower. Not TOO interested though, you know, it was just more interesting than the explosives thing. Anyway, I get up and sit on the side of the pool with my legs hanging into the water still, and then the explosives go off and they cause way too powerful of a blast, everyone is blown back and my legs are burned to the point of losing all feeling. >_< Stupid partiers! Flash forward through time a bit, I'm walking around a large, empty department store thinking about how there's going to be a new season of Yu-Gi-Oh! starting where Yugi is a crossdresser. ... My legs are still damaged but they're as healed as they're going to get. The department store at some point turns into my house and I decide to go to my parents bedroom and find an enormous sack of weed on the ground. I pull out a good amount to give to my friend N, who I think to myself is "still living in the past, and hasn't moved on to better things" (which I also think I've done by having my legs burned ). As I'm leaving I hear my parents arguing about the big sack of weed, and then it transitions into a third-person view of Marshall from How I Met Your Mother (again) buying something for Lily, but I don't really remember what that was.

#2 - A Very Odd Adventure

I'm with some friends, O and J, and we're at what I think I perceived as our junior high school, but it was really more of a two-story theme park that also had some shopping mall-type themes going on. But, there was the occasional classroom. Some gangsters tell the three of us that they're going to kill us by a certain time if we don't go find their gloves that are hidden throughout the school. I don't really remember that part of the dream very much (but I do remember that it was intense!), I just remember having found them and then thinking it was awkward when we ran into an old teacher of ours in her classroom, so we went to where the gangsters were but we couldn't find them, so we jumped down an opening from the second floor to the first and landed in the food court. We just stood around and talked to people for a minute until they showed up looking for us, and we gave them their gloves but they said they were going to kill us anyway! So we all ran, and we got away pretty easily. We each got separated but knew that we'd all be heading to the parking lot, so I had to hitch a ride there. I got a ride in a truck from two guys who seemed to think that the school/theme park/mall was a prison for some reason. I had put my stuff (which I'm pretty sure I didn't have before) in the back of their truck, and then when they dropped me off they immediately drove away with it still there! D: Aw....

I ran into O and a couple other friends of ours who were just confused as to why we were so frazzled, and I told O I was getting the hell out of here but I needed to find my car first. He pointed it out to me, I said thanks, and I ran over there. J shows up and gets in my car too and asks for a ride home, and I tell him alright but that's it, I can't hang out or anything for a while first because I've got stuff to do. As we're driving off there are some guys I've known since elementary school yelling at J for something, but I can't really remember what. On the drive home we get sidetracked on some kind of trail in a distinctly jungle-like area, and then we run out of gas. I pull us off the trail and we try to flag down a couple of cars that go by, but no one stops for us. >:T We end up having to try to make it on foot, but the area we're in has random monster battles. We end up next to a giant ocean with two huge purple sea dragons coming out of it. I end up grabbing one by the tail and beating the other to death with it, after which I try to brag to J about my dragon-killing skills. He takes the still-living one from me, pulls out a sharp knife, and slits its underbelly and throat three times and it dies. He says he can kill them much quicker than I can, but I said "Yeah, but I still beat my dragon to death with another dragon, which is much cooler." After we get warped back to the main map from the random battle, we run off because we can see that there's a giant crab monster just behind us that we don't want to get into a battle with.

The next challenge in our adventure comes in the form of an imaginary internet meme, and was definitely the most bizarre part of the dream. The meme itself was a video.... There was a little kid, couldn't have been older than ten or maybe eleven, but also a little tall for that age, who at first I thought was a little girl but then I wasn't totally sure, it looks like it might've been a little boy in a wig, or just a very androgynous-looking kid, or something, I don't know. But anyway, it was this little blonde kid with curled hair and everything, wearing ballet tights and an assortment of sparkly one-piece suits, like first it was just black and sparkly, and then there was one designed based on the American flag, and so on. The kid was repeating a phrase that he/she clearly hadn't actually said, but that someone had made by getting instances of them saying each individual word and piecing it together, and possibly adding a little synth sound. The phrase was "People like my pictures, people like my pictures. And they think I'm gay." The end almost sounded like a question, but not exactly. But they weren't just saying this. During it, in all these different outfits, they would be appearing in different areas around whatever city they were in and going up right behind people and doing very explicit humping, grinding, and erotic dance movements. Now, the challenge was that you had a clicker that you had to keep clicking through the whole thing to prove that you were still watching the video. The idea was that it would be so funny that you would become incapacitated from laughing and unable to continue clicking the button. J was doing the challenge and laughing his head off, I honestly didn't think he was going to make it. I woke up during this part.

#3 - I Should've Eaten The Chocolates ;-;

I'm in school, staying after hours to watch a new episode of American Dad! on the overhead moniter with my dad and a kid who had apparently threatened to kill me at some point before, maybe one of the gangsters? :O And this was the one year anniversary, and I was drinking a beer, so I raised it "To another year of life!" He just looked at me weird lol. For some reason I had four or five different boxes of Valentine's Day chocolates on my desk, which the entire time I kept thinking to myself "No, I should really save these for later...." Why didn't I eat those chocolates!? >.< The rest of the dream was just spent watching the episode, and all I remember about it is that there was a pool race and a reference to Goliath National Bank, from How I Met Your Mother, which my dad called ahead of time. I also had to pee for most of it but never did, and then I had to when I actually woke up.

I know at first there was some part of the dream where I was with some people I knew (remember only mother though) and that I somehow searched for materials to forge weapons.
[…]
I was talking with my brother and there was a blue clear beautiful sky outside with just a very thin layer of clouds. It started raining and I said to him that rain with an clear blue sky is the most beautiful weather (which is actually my opinion) and did an random reality check (likely due to an track playing in reality that moment) not expecting anything strange, yet my nose felt unusual and I could freely breath, tried it again and became lucid, seeing a person through the window I tried to change his color but without success. I still wasn’t perfectly sure what was going on and as to not embarrass myself I did my world severing seal silently, my brother though vanished without me noticing and I was going out of the room through the building. It looked casual yet somehow special; everything was bright but in a positive way. I instinctively made a daring jump dawn the staircase and went outside, under an intensively green tree were some snack bars lying. I looked skeptical at them but didn’t pay more attention. I massively tried to get rid of the drowsiness and it at least partially worked, I wanted to search for a nice free location to do what I was planning to do (looking back I should’ve just started where I was, but though I was less drowsy, I wasn`t completely myself yet ). I came across a lot of children, each with a different toy gatling gun. Then I found a big open place and decided that I would start doing my experiments here, strange enough the walls of the buildings around looked somewhat like shelves and there was a trapeze hanging from the sky. I remember randomly grabbing it but then the dream turned all grey and fuzzy, and I noticed I was waking up. I tried to get back in but without success.


As I woke up though there was a lucidity track playing, at 15 minutes. It was the one called lucid remix which I found in this post: http://www.dreamviews.com/f44/audio-...ository-55276/
I once had this track playing a lot of times randomly in the middle of the night, and it always only woke me up. After a long break (over a month) and a bit success I used this track for the first time again this night and had immediate success.
Also the numbers are telling me I likely kept my lucidity at least for a few minutes and that I successfully achieved my first EILD.

DreamLucidAwake

Finding a Sword

I don't know when I became lucid, but I was lucid. I was walking down the stone path of a medieval city. I was helping a kid who was a couple years younger than me find a weapon. He wanted good sword so he could start his own adventures. I led him down the path to where the sword shop was. When we got to the shop it exploded and a giant bug flew out of the flames. The shop owner was standing outside, so we went over to talk to her.

"Your shops on fire." I told her.
"Yes, I see that!" She said in frustration.
"Do you have any swords left?" The kid asked her.
"No, but there is a powerful sword hidden inside the city. I'll let you keep that sword if you use it to kill those things." She told us.
"Where's the sword?" The kid asked.
"He knows." She said pointing to me.

The funny thing is, I really did know where it was. I actually knew the city pretty well even though it was fictional. I pointed to a dark alley across the street from the shop. We descended the stairs in the alley and came to a maze of multiple paths. I was somehow able to guide him along the right path. We came to a dead end where there was a carving of a dragon on the wall. I placed my hand over the dragon picture and it started to glow blue. A piece of the floor beneath us then tore away from the ground and levitated up to the top of the wall. We stepped off the floating floor and onto the rooftop. We found a longsword sticking out of the roof. I took the sword and gave it to my friend. He then did one of those video game victory poses where he lifted it up in the air and smiled.

"Wow! That sword boosted you up to lvl 23!" I said reading his stats.
"Wait, don't we have another job to do?" He asked.
"Yeah, we have to find those monsters." I said

We walked back onto the floating floor and it descended back to the ground. We then walked out to an open area and stopped. I could feel the ground vibrating slightly below us. Then 3 flying monsters came out from under the ground. One of them was the giant flying bug from before. It had the body of a bee, the face of a beetle, and the wings of a moth. The second monster was just a floating skull with glowing red eyes. The third monster was a floating purple ghost with a skull mask.

"Look out!' I said to alert my friend.

I jumped back and transformed into a black dragon. The ghost and the bug decided to pick a fight with me while my friend fought with the the skull. The ghost shot a ball of shadow fire at me and I dodged to the right. I ran straight towards the ghost and stood on my back legs so I could start clawing at him. I made a few swipes and then tried to sink my claws into him. The bug flew in and tackled me before I could grab the ghost. The bug kept trying to stab me with its giant stinger. I would swipe at his stinger to block his attacks and he would do the same. It was a sword fight with claws and stingers. When he had a chance to land a direct hit on me, I did a backflip and striked his stomach with my tail's blade. At this moment I had instinctively learned how to use the dark element of poison. Not only did I cut his stomach, but I infected him with a lethal poison that killed him quickly.

The ghost then came out of nowhere and knocked me to the ground. It then unleashed it's shadow fire on me, but I slowed down time and rolled out of the way. I tried to swipe it with my poison tail, but it turned into a shadow and appeared behind me. He then smacked me into a wall when I wasn't looking. I kept trying to slash him with my tail and claws, but he just kept turning into a shadow. When I was starting to tire out, he created a shield of shadow fire around him and charged towards me. So then I thought, "If he can use shadow powers, why can't I?". I stood up and charged towards him. Right before we were about to collide, I let a cloud of darkness rise from the ground and surround me. I phased right through him and caught him off guard. I stabbed him from behind with my claws to make sure I had a good grip for what I was about to do. I flew high up into the air with him and threw him back down to the ground. I then dived down towards him in a ball of shadow fire. When I crashed into him, he turned into a shadow mist that sort of evaporated.

I looked back at my friend to see how his battle was coming along. The skull was shooting flames at him, but he was able to dodge them. He then held the sword out in front of him and charged it with a powerful red energy. He then leaped towards the skull at a super fast speed. Using this speed he was able to slice up the skull from all angles in just a few seconds. The skull fell to the ground and my friend delivered the final blow with a cut down the center. We had won the fight and I went back to my human form.

I guided us back along to the main road. From there we walked to the castle. The king was supposed to give my friend a quest that would start his real adventure. Unfortunately I woke up by the time we reached the drawbridge.

Yay! Shadow and poison magic!

My recall has been getting better lately, but we are still far away from the best I've been and still the dry spell for lucids continues. Let's go back to the past again.

Accidental Lucid
Date: October 5th, 2009
Lucid: Yes
Method: DILD

I was having a conversation with my brother in the living room. I was lying down on the sofa and he was using my computer, but with his head turned towards me. We were coincidentally talking about reality checks. My brother doesn't know much about LDing and in fact, he to this day thinks it's some kind of satan's worshipping. Anyway, I started demonstrating to him the different methods that you can use to RC. I didn't have any clue about being in a dream at that point.

First off I did the plugging the nose -test. I managed to push some air out of my nose, but there was some friction, which made me think that I just didn't plug my nose properly. Still, the seed of suspicion was laid. Next I tried to push my fingers through my hand. My dreams are too realistic, I guess, for that to work. Nonetheless lastly I demonstrated the clock-test.

The time on the clock only shifted around a bit, so I did the test multiple times, until on the sixth time the clock turned from 12 am. to 7 pm. That was big enough change for me to believe that I was dreaming. I didn't remember what was the monthly challenge. I even asked my brother, but he didn't have any clue. He was surprised too for this being a dream and started writing on my hand with a pen.

Next I shouted "Clarity now!" to increase the clarity of the dream, despite it being okay to begin with. Shouting that didn't work for me though. Next I asked my brother to make the dream clearer. "Alright", he answered and started writing again on my hand. I guess the stimulation that the point of the pen caused on my skin was enough to indeed make the dream more clearer.

I headed towards my brother's room, but he was still pestering me with that pen. I told him to do 100 push-ups just to make him leave me alone. Instead he just piled some junk on his hands and started doing bench press with them.

I proceeded through a corridor towards his room. There was a lot of his stuff on the corridor just piled up, like he was moving or something. I accidentally caused one pile of cd records to fall. I froze and was afraid, that he would attack me angrily now. Instead he started crying over some record. I just told him that it didn't necessarily break.

Then I just woke up, before I really managed to do anything special. That was my 19th lucid since I started closely keeping a record at the start of 2009.

#1

Very vague on this one, all I really remember is being in my pool with two random guys and listening to dubstep that was blasting really loud seemingly from nowhere. At one point they asked me if I knew any other good club music to which I just laughed and told them I hadn't even gotten started yet. Then I woke up.

#2

I was in the gym of my high school I think, playing soccer for a PE class with mostly other kids from my school but also my cousin who's four years younger than I am. I was barely paying attention to what was going on though, like usual when playing sports in class. At some point the ball came toward me and everyone started shouting at me so I was like alright, alright! and kicked it and it went WAY up the side of the gym wall, then curved around somehow and shot right toward the goal. Everyone started cheering, and then Sinoblak showed up to tell me congrats! After that I went and ate lunch with some people from my high school in the cafeteria, which was relatively normal lol.

#3

This one's just a snippet, and in third-person perspective. Marshall from How I Met Your Mother, aka Jason Segel, shows up to a party dressed as Britney Spears, with a wig and everything, and wearing blackface makeup, then gets embarrassed when he walks in and everyone gives him really strange looks. I can't make this stuff up.

#4

A girl comes over to my house and tells me that she's going to do electrolysis on my legs. I say, alright, um, why did you just show up to do that? And she starts explaining it to me in some gibberish but half way through the conversation she turns into a guy, though he still claims to be there for the same reason. He starts asking me lots of really strange questions and sneaking looks around my room, and I'm getting really suspicious. I change my attitude really quick to show that I don't like him, and then I start to think about a bag of ecstasy pills in my drawer, and he's really close to it. He pulls it open right before I can get over there to keep it shut, and stares at it for a second like he found what he was looking for and I think oh fuck, he's a cop! He starts trying to arrest me and I go on a long rant about how I don't even care about the drugs anymore or even really care that he's arresting me because life sucks and all this stuff, and on the way from my room to the living room he tells me that he's got a plan for us. He's going to admit to committing a murder and get taken to prison, then I need to flee and get across state lines and call in and admit that it was actually me who did it, then when he gets set free he can elope with the electrolysis girl (the one that was him before) and if the cops ever find me it won't be a big deal because it'll quickly be proven that there's no way I could've actually committed the murder.

Suddenly I switch to a third-person view of him violently being thrown in a prison cell, proving that he went through with his part of the plan. Then I'm back in the living room like no time has passed at all but he's still gone, and I sit down on the couch next to my dad and tell him to lean in so I can tell him what's going on, but he keeps leaning in like annoyingly close in a way makes it really obvious I'm trying to hide this information from whoever else is in the house. As I'm telling him all this, I see one of the buckets they give you to put your trash in at Joe's Crab Shack, and there's a red flashing light on a black clip on the side. Oh crap, we've been bugged! One of the other cops, who I now think are actually some kind of thug gang, comes at sits down on the couch next to us. I can tell that he knows we're acting suspicious and was possibly even listening in to the conversation through the bug, and so he starts asking us about the movie that's playing on TV, which I haven't even remotely been paying attention to. Apparently, it's Madagascar 10. I remember the last question he asked was if it was the only one that was ever set in the ocean, and then I woke up.

*phew* That one was really convincing.

I definitely had one in between this and the last one, but I guess I only dreamed I typed it up in my phone. Oh well.

There's a memorial service for the guy who went to prison (who's apparently dead now) and his accomplice, along with all the people they killed along the way, still in my living room. I'm there and I see the graves and everything but I'm paranoid that the guy is still going to come after me for some reason because his birthday, as listed in the memorial info, is the exact same day as mine and I'm convinced that maybe that's not even his real birthday and he's not actually dead, he's just like some kind of crazy serial killer and sending me a message. I start rambling to my dad about it, who's still sitting right next to me, and he gets fed up and says it looks like they're just going to have to accept it. He tells me that there never were any guys that came to our house or got killed, we never went on the run, and there's no memorial service or bugs or signs that I'm being watched or that someone's coming after me. They've been pretty sure for a while, but hoping it wasn't true, that I'm actually schizophrenic and I'm just hallucinating all of this and my delusions are just getting worse and worse as I'm becoming more paranoid. I have no idea what to think about this new information and it sends me into deep despair, and also makes me doubt that they're telling the truth but that just makes me think they might actually be right and I have no way of knowing what's real and what's not....

Freakin' dreams!

Sigh... so that's it. I also got a false awakening at the end of this where I started typing it all up in my phone, and got about half way though before I woke up. Lucky I did that early, having thought I logged it down I almost forgot most of it!
