memorable

Well...I missed one of my more recently occurring dream signs tonight, the sky.

I'm outside, and it's day time. I look up and I see this jet flying by our house. It looks like one of those leer jets except it has two solar panels attached on each side. The jet keeps making passes while opening and closing the panels. Someone was frightened of it because of how it was moving, but I was simply amazed.

Suddenly it became dark, and skyscrapers sprouted from the ground, changing the entire horizon. The scene went from being dull to a retro futuristic setting. Like something you'd see in a old Godzilla movie. Buildings from all types of eras of what the "future" was supposed to look like. I started taking pictures of it all (don't even know where I got the camera from) and suddenly there was a crash. There was an ambulance crew right on the scene, and from what I got out of it, I was in the middle of some movie.

H showed up, and I was telling her that we'd be able to play the part better, since we did crap like that for a living. Later on I found myself waiting on some kind of review, and on it, it said I did all these things that were completely out of character.

So I figured it's 11 am, perfect time to lay back down and re-try to enter a LD state. After the weird ones i Had earlier today... what the hell.

Laid down, shut my eyes and nothing happened for a while. Then I found myself standing in the middle of what I assumed was "my room" and couldn't remember getting up. So I remember thinking, "I'm dreaming" do something, jump! I did but didn't float. So I said fuck it and just threw myself into the air like superman and it worked.

I thought I was in my own house (I wasn't) so I jumped up into the air again and tried to float through the floors but it didn't work. I think I woke myself back up at that point and fell right back asleep remembering I was dreaming still...

I was so happy that I realized it was a false awakening that I woke myself up.

But I fell back asleep and it happened again. I didn't realize I was sleeping, I tested it and again I was dreaming.

I kept waking myself back up for real and that got more confusing.

I know I was awake at one point and I convinced myself I was actually still dreaming... and it worked. (I could feel my body in bed and knew I was actually awake but I just pushed through it and made myself fall back asleep).

This time I was so happy I managed to get up, run out of the room, unlock the door to the house and go out into the street where there was lots of people and families walking around.

It was a neighborhood (not mine) and I have no idea who's house I had woken up in...

I remember walking around and trying to go to someone else's house and go inside. I got very excited and the dream started to fade so I reminded myself to spin. Spin spin spin.... I think I started it too late because next thing I know I could feel my body in bed and I was thinking spin spin spin.... It was a fight between the two states of LD and awake in bed... I think it almost worked but in the end I woke up.

So I will take this as another victory. Even though my LD's are still very short periods of time today I feel like I actually did work and learned some things.

Earlier today I spent time in my LD's dealing with controlling them and keeping them going.

Just now I feel like I learned how to identify false awakenings better. It also made me realize I have a hell of a lot more false awakenings then I think I do.

Last night I went to bed early and did a muscle relaxation technique. I then closed my eyes, put in ear plugs and tried to concentrate on the visuals.

I got some tingling sensations but after an hour or more nothing happened.

I flipped onto my side and went to sleep.

My alarm went off at 4 am so I tried again... but nothing happened and I drifted off to sleep.

Sent my kid off to school at 7 am, propped an extra pillow behind my head and started again. This is typically when I start to LD anyway.

Like the day before I drifted in and out. Overall I had several LDs but they were quite different than before.

They all started off as normal dreams and I wake up into them. The first one was the longest and it took me a while to realize I was dreaming. But once I did I immediately started to work on controlling it.

The LD was not as "intense and vivid" as the long one I had four days ago. But I had total control. The first one was about my extended family. I am quite sure that this was because one of my aunts made a comment on my facebook page and I read it before bed.

It took place in the bedroom I grew up in as a kid. Eventually I realized I was dreaming. I stayed in the room and experimented with different things. I remember doing something really odd like taking my hand and stretching it across the room. I don't recall much else at this point other than I had total control.

I had several small LDs after that. I would wake up and fall right back asleep. I remember some of them were sexual in nature.

The last one I can recall took place in a hallway. I remember saying I was looking for a "red head" and a bunch of people came running down the hallway and one girl came up to me and said something like "here I am".

The odd thing was she really didn't have red hair, it was more strawberry blonde. But I pulled her aside and focused on her and she became a red head. I remember once again having sex after that.

So this makes four LD night / days in a row. While none of the past three have matched how intense and real the first one was days ago, they were all different than in the past.

This latest one was by far the oddest and most interesting as it seemed like I was taking advantage of he time and honing my skills in getting control over the dream world. Like a sandbox version of a game I sat and played and experimented.

I would like to now combine the two and try to have a really deep LD with control that goes on for a while.

I think I am trying a combination of different techniques at night before I fall asleep and they are not working. I may also be attempting to have an OOB experience. I really need to learn the different techniques and the difference between the two and how to attain them.

This, was not a pleasant night, due to the dreams it entailed. First off, it began with me, another boy, and a girl, who I did not recognize from my everyday life, but they brought me over to their grandpa's air force base, or something. There was water at the floor of the place, enough to be deep enough to swim in, but there were planes everywhere. The boy went into the plane with his grandfather, along with the girl soon later. He called for any last entrees, and for some reason, I decided not to go in. Soon, I guess a plane was right by me, and I pushed it, which caused it to move in circles in the air. As the occupied plane lifted off from the water, it hit the circling plane, which blew it down to smitherines. Next thing I knew, the place was in disaster. Planes crashing everywhere, fires erupting at corners, explosions, and screaming became the ambiance of the area. It was terrible, and I couldn't help feel for blame for all of it. The three other people I mentioned before had lived, though most everyone else died, but then I woke up.

Next, was a more scarier dream. It had to do with me, my brother, and my mom going to this house that was supposedly haunted. At first, I was reluctant, but I passed the feeling and stepped in. From the moment I walked into the house, I felt a new feeling, a bad one. My mom mentioned something about the house's original owner before he died being Anthony Hopkins, and I only asked "THE Anthony Hopkins?" and she did not reply. Later on, we explored the rooms, one had a flickering TV still on, and somewhere, I picked up a puppy, but as we advanced through the rooms, a feeling kept brushing by me, like a spirit. Soon enough, we all had this feeling that we were now haunted by this thing, so we ran out, or I did at least, with the puppy who was vibrating like crazy. Once I reached my original home, I placed the dog in the backyard, in which the neighbors dog, cat hybrid looking thing came in and tried to eat it. I tried to bargain with it, which actually worked, and then put a plug into the wall, and a forcefeild appeared from the neighbor's home. It was somewhat scary, actually, though what does it mean?

9-11-11

This dream is a little vague because i think i woke up in a false awakening afterwards cus i turned my alarm on in the middle of the night, but in the morning it was still off. Probably why i only remembered this when i meditated after i woke up for real.

I am sitting on a couch in my house with slightly different furniture. My whole family is there , (mom,dad my sister and 2 dogs) . We seem to have guests tho, there are two humanoid aliens sitting on the couch with us. I don't recall that they said a single word they just sat there with us. I don't quite recall their appearance either, they where definetly human looking but overobviously alien, cus of probably green/blue faces. Perhaps their hair looks more like greyish coral.

I was really excited, i remember thinking and talking with my family saying stuff like "how the hell is this possible" and "how are we going to explain this to the rest of the world that we have 2 aliens in our own house." etc. etc.

Woke up, most likely in a FA (but... was pretty sure it was in real life because of the feel i had when i woke up and how tired i was feeling before i slipped into unconsciousness)

Yesterday i dreamed of a women i haven't seen in a while and i wrote down some weird things in my DJ that i can't recall or make much sense of. Today i dreamed of her again and i was notified that she or someone in immediate surroundings is terribly sick..

SP hit fast and felt like a backwards free fall. I think I was ready for it just because I had so many episodes recently.

When I open my eyes, I'm in my room. Everything is blurry like my generic "I haven't done this in a while" type dreams. It's even hard to move, but after a few moments, crystal clear and I'm right out of my bed. The first thing that comes out of my mouth is "Kaomea". I leave my room, round the corner, and I see a girl in the shower. She's wearing shorts and and a tank top, and has curly long black hair. I said "Kaomea?", and she nodded. I quickly walked out of the way (to let her regain what little privacy she had) and waited for her to leave my bathroom.

When she came out, I let out a sigh of relief, and told her "it's about time". We headed outside, and I told her about my Poseidon dream. Some other girl I didn't recognize came up to her, and said that they had to leave. Kaomea told me she had to go....I think it had something to do with seeing other people in their dreams. I thought it was kinda abrupt, but whatever.

I tried creating a portal so I could venture off somewhere and she came to watch me and cheer me on, but after about three attempts, I decided to do something different. I grabbed on to a piece of grass, and pulled on it. This in turn revealed that it was a trap door. I jumped down it, but instead of it being a portal, it lead me through this tiny access way. I emerged back in front of my house, and my brother came out, and started telling me something about how I broke his lawnmower. I didn't know what he was talking about, but my lucidity had faded. And I didn't know wtf was going on.

Thursday:
I was on a boat (a Cruise ship). I was in a room with bunkbeds.I had just removed my shoes and put them underneath a desk in the room. A person I know just came into the room and sits down on the bottom bunk. But at that moment the ship started swaying VERY badly..but the strange thing is--it was sunny outside. Then the dream scene shifted to the same person &I racing down a terminal to a plane (I have no shoes on). We just manged to catch the plane and go to our seats. When the plane was on the runway..two mice who look like Gus and Jaq, are racing down the runway and Gus just is able to get to the wheel before it takes off. The plane went kind of wonky.. and the camera showed me that..there was no piolit or co-pilot in the cockpit. So I rushed into the cockpit and flew the plane..straight into a hangar. (the only thing I'm sure off is the shoes&desk is a metaphor about me spending to much time at a computer and not enough time outside)


Friday:
I was in a mansion, in a room which was all white..it had 4 pianos. Each one had a different "sound" to it. One on the far left, sounded like it hadn't been tuned for awhile. Well the one on the oppiste side was a bit too loud. I was playing the former piano and I notice a ghost coming towards me. It looked like however she had died she died in her bedroom. When she got close enough I saw her have RED eyes.

Saturday:
i was on a subway with mom. We were at the stop she want us to get off at. Somehow I lost her and had to walk through the entire subway train to get off. Two women, looking like two people I knew helped me get off the subway and up an eslcator. Before we got outside, we passed a shoe store with a moral of princesses (not Disney). One side of the store had shoes outside of it and the plaque above it said "Peggy's shoes". I did find mom eventually.

Serial RPG
notes

I was playing football with some family/friends outside my grandparents' house, when I got poked in the eye and couldn't see. I went into the house to wash my eye out, but when I looked in the mirror, there was nothing wrong with my eye and I could suddenly see perfectly out of it.. so I realized I must be dreaming. I looked over at the hand towel and tried to levitate it.. it worked.. lucid

I walked outside and proclaimed loudly to all the DCs in the area that I was lucid dreaming. They seemed unimpressed, so I took to the air to fly around and figure out what to do. I flew away from my grandparents' house and began to throw fireballs at the surrounding landscape. I hadn't done this in awhile (lucid drought), so it took some practice to get back in the groove. As I continued to manipulate the fire with my mind, I realized I had flown to a forest.. in fact, it was the Forest of Denn!

I landed and checked out my surroundings. I appeared to be near a clearing in the forest where there was a small lake, covered in fog. I walked toward the lake and noticed a giant dragon worm. It rose up out of the lake, with the body of a giant worm, about 15 feet wide and rising about 35 feet out of the water. I call it a dragon worm, because the head was shaped like a dragon's, with a lizard tongue that was slashing about and hissing as it oscillated slowly back and forth, as if dancing. I recalled my current task to slay a beast and began to charge the dragon worm with a snarl growing in my throat.

I reached the edge of the lake and jumped/flew into the dragon, colliding with the side of the massive beast and latching onto its leathery skin. I forgot completely about the armor I had bought previously, and was solely focusing on the attack. It quickly became apparent that I *would* need my weapon, so I closed my eyes and visualized my glowing orange shardblade in my hands. As soon as I felt the grip in my fingers, I opened my eyes and began slashing at the worm while still holding on with my left hand and legs.

Even tho I was making gashes in the thick skin, the worm didn't seem to even notice. It continued to sway, but now started spinning around, as if trying to sling me off. I realized that I needed to attack it at a weak point. From where I was latched on, I could see a small hollow at the base of its throat which appeared to be a good place to start, but it was out of my reach, and the worm was spinning and swaying too violently for me to climb up to it. Then, I had an idea..

I collected myself as the monster continued to gyrate, and then let go, allowing myself to be slung free from its body. As I did, I turned and locked my eyes on the hollow of the throat. When I reached the apex of my flight - before I started to fall down to the lake - I launched myself straight at the beast, sword outstretched and focused intently on the hollow of the throat.

When I reached the body, my sword thrust deep into the throat with a slurping sound. The worm began to gurgle and flop around even more frantically.. then it slowed and hissed as it fell away into the lake. I jumped from the body and hovered over the lake as it fell and watched it slap the water's surface and sink down. Something caught my attention and I glanced at the shore. A very small dragon was flying over to inspect the drowning worm. It's head was identical to the beast's I had just slain, but it had a full dragon body and not that of a worm. It flapped it tiny wings rapidly as it cocked its head from side to side, a puzzled look on it's face. It hit me that this must be the giant dragon worm's offspring.

I remembered that my next task was to tame a beast... so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to do just that. I flew closer to the little dragon and it backed away, seeming to notice me for the first time. "What's your name, cowboy?" I asked. Suddenly the word 'Chomper' was spoken in my mind - a high-pitched but masculine voice resonating - as the dragon cocked its head.

"Ok, Chomper, I think we should be friends.." I said, as I moved closer. The dragon seemed unsure, but didn't pull back. As I got close enough to touch Chomper, he shot some fire breath at my hand. I jerked back reflexively, but then moved forward again. He put out a continuous gout of flame at my hand, a hint of frustration in his eyes. As my hand began to touch the flame, I slowly caused the fire to fizzle and disperse, until there was no fire left and my hand was up against Chomper's nose. He cocked his head and stared at me incredulously as I stroked his nose.. then he began to giggle and laughed out loud, showing all his teeth in a large smile.

Chomper flew over and alit on my shoulder, playfully expelling a puff of flame that singed my eyebrows. I flew over to the lake shore and dropped to my feet. Chomper hopped down as well. I felt confident that I had my new companion, but he sure was small for battling monsters and the like, so I decided to try something.. "Chomper, GROW!" I said out loud. And he did. As I continued to look at him, I willed him to grow to about 3 times my size.

I looked around for something for us to fight. There was nothing. Wait... There was something down the shoreline crouching low behind a tree. It looked like a panther laying in wait for an ambush.. I stared straight at the animal and said
"Chomper, BURN!" He then let out a burst of flame that took out half of the shoreline of trees in the direction I was looking. I couldn't help laughing out loud. I walked over to where the panther had been to find everything - including the panther - charred and smoldering. Chomper seemed quite pleased with himself.

I was about to feed the roast panther to Chomper when the dream started to fade.. and I decided to just let it.

This was the most fun LD I've had in awhile. I had been in a drought for the last couple of weeks, but this was the 2nd in 3 days, so hopefully it will put me back in the groove

I seemed to coriograph my dream. As I would think it, so it happened.

I was escaping something. It seemed as though I was watching a movie from the standpoint of one of the characters.

Other folks were running away on land. I saw a waterfall and thought that one might escape that way, but it would be dangerous as you could slip on rocks if you jumped to a lower level. There I was jumping to the next level down on the waterfall.

The waterfall was a couple more levels down to the bottom and I had to finish my jump. I jumped down, but instead of a waterfall level, it was some steel structure. I landed on it and jumped off to the pool below. I thought how someone could just dive in, but it might be shallow, so they would have to come back up pretty much immediately, and that is exactly what I did.

Now I saw the other people running about a hundred feet away in the day. There was brush for cover. I was away from them. I thought I had a better chance of escaping if I were separate from the crowd. It was night where I was.

I was crouched down in a forest of large trees. Men on horseback came riding past. There were about 10 of them. I didn't know why they didn't see me, but they didn't.

The dream skipped to where I was somewhere else. There was a college campus scene, which I pretty much forget. Then on to an old ship.

On the ship, there was a communication invention. It worked like Morse Code, but it was made up of several strange pieced to assemble it. I was trying to save it...from something...and because I wanted it and it was valuable, but the main reason was because it had to be kept secret like nostrodomos kept his visions and research secret. It was very mid-evil.

I should have journaled this earlier, but I got most of the salient points.

I was staying in a really nice hotel in a city during Christmas time. Allen was with me. It was snowy outside and everyone was bundled up in big winter coats and scarves. This is one of my favorite times of the year so I was really excited. The hotel was massive and fully decorated in reds and golds, bustling with people. The most interesting thing though was this massive fish tank in the middle of the hotel. Inside were sharks that everyone was calling threshers but really they were thresher shark tales with hammer heads on them. There were about 50 of them in this tank; it was so packed with the sharks that they couldn’t swim without bumping into each other. I was fascinated by them and how aggressive they were. I watched as one larger one tore a smaller one into pieces. Their teeth were even more unusually pointy then normal. I got up right next to the glass, practically touching it with my nose. One of them was looking right at me and bumping into the glass over and over again. I signaled to allen to come closer. I explained to him that they must be each between 7 and 10 ft long. I was standing in amazement. Above the sharks were a metal container with seals. The sharks were trying to get to the seals but they were clearly safe so I didn’t worry about the little guys. One of them hopped out of the metal container and onto the ground next to me. I picked him up and scratched behind his ear, he apparently enjoyed it. Then I set him down to leave. When I walked upstairs I looked once more at the tank for a little bit before going outside in the cold with Allen.

I was on some remote island. The beach was huge and all I could see for miles was crystal blue ocean. The sun was huge, and very warm. I was sunbathing alone in a very cute 1950’s inspired bathing suit when Spleen walked by. I asked him if he would take a picture of me in the water so that I could always remember this place he said sure and sat down on the beach. I walked out into the water until it was up to my neck. Then I swam on my back back to shore. I found this so enjoyable and peaceful that I repeated this a few more times. I had totally forgotten about Spleen and I felt like I was alone. When I had gotten back to about my neck in the water for the 4th or 5th time, I remembered that a lot of sharks inhabited these waters and that it probably wasn’t safe for me to swim in. I quickly swam back to shore and walked back one the beach. Spleen told me about the party on the island that apparently everyone was at and that I should join. We walked together into the forest where sure enough there was a massive party with fire dancers, music, and lots of food and booze. Allen was there spinning to a crowd of girls and I laughed at him. He gave me a wink and I grabbed a drink and began observing everyone at the party. It felt really nice and relaxing to be there.

The Dream of Harrison Ford's Revenge (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a dream entirely in third-person perspective. It shocked my housemate that I could be totally absent from my dream, but he liked it.
Harrison Ford, or a character who looked like him, had a long-standing grudge against his father, who had died when he was 25. At the same time he was amnesiac, having forgotten most everything about his father, as a defense mechanism he thought.
Harrison Ford worked with an older military guy. At some point, he discovers something about his father that completely changes the way he viewed him, and realized that his father's death was criminal.
When he goes out on the carpark (of his work place?), he notices an old black car, and it clicks into place with what he's discovered earlier. This old black car... it means that the military guy killed/is responsible for his father's death!
Harrison grabs his rocket launcher and starts shooting at the military guy to seek revenge for his father's death. He misses at firt and the rockets go flying over the sports field nearby. But then, he hits the fleeing military guy in the back, and instead of it being a carnage, it only makes his backpack explodes in sparkles.
Harrison Ford feels at peace with his dad now.

I had an involuntary WBTB when I woke up with a fever at 6:30 AM. I had to force myself to write down a few key words in my dream journal, but then I dropped my pen, and I wasn't going to get up to find it.

First, I was in the old house, which was a lot bigger. There had been word of a plane that was going to drop this bomb. I think the bomb was supposed to cleanse the area, like it was a good thing, but it also had potential to be dangerous. The whole neighborhood was sitting outside on our lawn, and they were worried that a second degree flood was going to happen, and if it did, we would all die because there would be no one to save us. Brian told us to gather just the important items, and to close and lock all of the windows and doors. Only the front door was left open. Then we heard the sounds of plane approaching. I looked out the front door to see an incredibly low flying airplane that flew away from our house, so it would have come from the backyard. It was a pretty amazing sight. I also saw an insignia on the plane that indicated that this was the one that would drop the bomb. When it was out of sight, we all felt a big rumble. The plane had dropped the bomb in our backyard. We all hit the deck, and I remember worrying that it was going to be deadly. The bomb exploded and an orange gas swiftly rushed past us and the house from the backyard.

Then I was playing this Super Nintendo game that looked like it could have been on the Playstation 2. It looked like the guy from Uncharted, but it wasn't, and the game was that you had to shoot these alien monster things that were following you around, but the catch was that everything was almost in pitch black. This dream then shifted to first person, and I was the guy. I was in this room that had three paths to choose from. While I was deciding which way to go, I had to keep charging this gun and shooting the monsters that came at me from the right. Since the right path was almost pitch black, and the forward path was cold and icy, and the back path is where I came from, I chose to go left. It was a lot brighter in this path, and part of the game was that you can subdue enemies and then take control of them. At one point, the dream cut to a shot of me in a room with Mom and Brian, and I was playing the game. There was also this one part where there was this tourist attraction in these ruins, which I'm guessing took place in the same setting as the video game. The tourist attraction was this really long zip line that crossed this very large body of water. On the zip line were carts that you had to stand on and hold onto this pole so you don't fall into the water that was like a mile down. Below in the water was a giant, swirling whirlpool. It was a very unsafe tourist attraction.

There was a small part of a dream where Finn and Jake from Adventure Time were dream sharing and having an adventure in it. Then Finn said, "Yo dude, I gotta go to the bathroom." Then they woke up. There was also this glimpse of the Futurama characters looking down this gigantic hole in the ground.

Every time I woke up throughout the night, I would still be in a slight dream state, and I would get another "letter" of a band name or something. It was weird. There were a lot of dreams that involved bands this night. I don't remember them specifically though.

The last one I remember is that Sean and I had a babysitter, and she was really hot, and I decided to make a move, so when she was going to meet me in the bathroom (I don't know why) I went there first and stripped naked so she would walk in on me with no clothes on. She never came, and I was waiting for some time. I got annoyed, got dressed, and went to see what was taking her so long. She was making sandwiches in the kitchen, like hoagies and whatnot. I said fuck it, and I went to the living room to go sit down. The furniture was all rearranged, and it was DE that my mom did this. Sean and I were complaining that the way it was arranged was stupid because now you had to walk around everything, because it was all in the way, and for some reason the arrangement was making it physically hard to sit down. Sean was playing Pokemon Red, and I was watching. In the dream, it was in first person, and I mentioned that it was a lot different than Yellow Version, which is a top down game.

There was also a dream that had a hotel room, but that's all I know.

my one was at a store......i was with my boyfriend......we had ice cream and walked around the nearby walmart for something to do......then i was going with my parents.....and they drove a while to get to that one.....and i didn't like it because it was a small one.......and we went in a bus and my sister sat in front of me and kept turning around and slapping me and kicking me with high heals.......and i was buying towels (which were stolen by one of my roommates lately irl)

the other one was me in high school......i was sitting in the advanced classes room.....and the teacher was saying i should take an iq test......for fun.....plus she wanted to know........and put it on the shelf at the side.....so others could take it too if they wanted to.....and then she was talking about a test in the psyc. class that was coming up......and i made a face because i don't like tests....especially ones with essays/short answer.....and she said to not make that face...that it'll be fun.....because it's stuff that i find interesting.....(there was this test irl that she said would be fun before because we had to act like real psychologists and diagnose the patient from the case study with the information she gave and was convinced that that would be a fun part to the test)

non lucid - lucid
i was in a pool and swimming. out of the blue a blue eyed blond teen got in my way and wouldent let me pass. we passed on cursess and argued untill I said something and called her a fucking bitch (bad bad lenguage ) and she sulked away. somehow I found myself in my room looking at myself im my big mirror. noticing my hair was curly and blond and comented that I dyed it too light. after looking away for a second my reflction showed me with brown hair. a second look a way and my hair turned ginger. At that I did an RC (nose pluge) and became lucid. (Yayyyyyyyy!! ) i want downstairs and into an unfamiliar living room. I looked out the window and saw a huge van (blue and with white writing on it), Ice-crean van style throwing some sort of bombs at the buildings around it. the bombs were thrown into the air and then landed on the ground causing a small explotion. I flew out the window to see what was going on and after I saw it I flew back to my house and told my parants to run away but they sayed it does that all the time and that they were fine. I belived them and flew down to the street.

I'm just testing stuff here
