memorable

For some reason I was held down with a gun. The guy was holding my ransom and whipped my back a few times. I told him just to kill me and make it quick. I wasn't scared but a little excited to enter the astral plane as that's where I thought I would go when I died. He shot me in the head and I felt the blood squirt out of my head and my body going limp. I just was floating aimlessly. It was time to form a scenario. I imagined walking around and everything in detail. A new dream scene emerged. I walked around stabilizing the scenario taking my time to make it super unique. I decided that I never really explore my dream characters much and I wanted to find out a bit more about them and what they so in certain situations. I was at a pool party. All the dcs had girlfriends with them. I went around talking to the guys and seeing their faces in detail. I would squeeze their girlfriends boobs to see their reaction. Most of them wouldn't say anything. One of them got super pisses. I laughed at him and asked what he was going to do about it. He didn't say anything but looked ashamed. I ripped her shirt off. She had really weird boobs. I bent her over as if I was going to have sex with her to see his reaction. He was still so I just left him. I had a fa where I was dc watching her cheat on him. He was very upset about it. I was about to enter a game of age of empires. I was back at my moms house and playing dc universe. I was in a 2v2 arena type tournament. My mouse was messed up and I had a really hard time playing. My guy was really strong and it was 1v3. I managed to kill 2 of them before dieing.

I am at some road. I want to ride a motorbike. I see one in front of me. I examine the low-angled windscreen and the windshield. I jump in it and ride it. I am afraid that some cop will stop me, cause i don't have a license. I am also worried because i am going a bit slow in a big road and don't know exactly how to use the clutch... It doesn't seem to be much of a problem, but the feeling of the ride sucks. My vision is also bad. The windscreen is kinda blocking my sight and there are no mirrors. I reach a place and see two other bikes with some guys from the uni on them. I go next to them. Now we are walking (didn't notice that change). They say that most people who ride bikes, have one like the one i ride (probably because i like kawasaki ninja :p).
"Umm... Actually it's not mine" (semi-lucid)
"I found it in a street. And do you know what the best part is?"
"What?"
"We are in a dream!"
I don't remember if he said anything. There are some cops nearby wearing some weird suits. I am suddenly lying on the ground and have a feeling that i am going to be arrested. Someone throws a gun next to me. One of the guys laughs. I pick it up and pretend to shoot. There are two buttons on it. The one says "sleep", the other something that i don't remember. One of the cops approaches me. He stops. He puts his gun out, makes some settings, he points at his head and shoots. There is a voice saying "sleeep" and he goes "nooooo" in a regretful way, as though he made the wrong settings. There is something like green electricity over his head and his body is standing up but paralized. He seems to be dead or unconscious. What happened is that he should have pressed the other button (which would have keep him in the dream), while he pressed the "sleep" button, which made him wake up (i just KNOW). I look at my gun. I press the other button. I check it on a guy from uni first (lol). I shoot and there is this voice again saying something about some aminoacids that the gun enhances, which make you dream longer. I shoot myself. I am at a place that i can't tell if it's inside or outside. There are many people. They all have words over their heads. Each word is a choice i can make for the dream, or some info about the person. I see a girl with the word "sex" over her head. I look at her and she says
"Bunnies"
I understand that if i want sex i have to find people dressed like bunnies... I wander around. I see a girl dressed like a bunny. I look at her. There are three choices over her head. I look at the one saying "threesome". :p There are three girls coming from my left. One of them seems to be the leader or something. She is really nicely dressed. The one of the other two is the main one, and the other is an alternative... The leader girl says
"Movie star come on"
We walk through some rooms and doors. We even went trough a bar. It was a casual bar with a lot of people. I saw a friend (we have been talking about dreams that night) holding two big glasses of beer and talking to two very nice girls. I call him and make a face like "hey i am going to have sex and you are drinking beer" lol. We finally reach a quiet room. The other girls goes to the fridge to get something to drink. I look around and see the other room with a big bed in it... Sweee... The dream is FADIIIING I wake up...

At least it was a big one after nearly one month!

Hi everyone! I haven't been posting in my DJ for a LOOOOONG time, and feel really bad. I got out of it, and need to get back in. I will be starting again today (Permanently this time!)

I woke up around 4 AM and attempted a WILD. I got into SP and saw HI of floating door handles around me. I used VILD to get me right into a dream outside of Hogwarts.

It was early morning outside at Hogwarts, around 6 AM. I could feel the crisp, cold air on my skin. It felt nice. I looked around, and noticed this dream was extremely vivid. I noticed tiny things like bugs flying around, the texture of every little thing, and all the vivid colors.

I started to walk towards the entrance to Hogwarts. I pushed the large, wooden door open and stepped inside. A few people were walking down the halls. They all looked like they were in a hurry for something.

I looked down at myself, and noticed I was wearing a bright orange robe. My skin was very tan, and I felt very short. I quickly changed into a Hufflepuff robe with a flick of my wand.

My wand was a dark green color, and was mossy. It had many details, and tiny bumps on it. I walked down a white marble hallway, and decided to complete the "Learn and perform Alohomora on a locked door" task.

I summoned a short person, who looked like a wise elf. I always imagine the best teachers to look like elves. I told him I would like to know how to perform Alohomora.

His eyes were twinkling (literally), and he told me to draw the shape of a key in the air with my wand, and then point it at any locked door and say "Alohomora!". He grabbed my arm, and we flashed into a dark blue room filled with wooden doors. He told me to choose a door, and then he disappeared.

I looked around, and one particular door caught my eye. It had an engraving of an owl on it. The owl was moving, just like most pictures in Hogwarts. I went over to it and drew a key into the air. I could see the outline of it. I pointed my wand at the door, and the outline of the key started moving towards it. The owl caught the outline and the door slowly creaked open.

There was nothing on the other side! I slowly walked into it, and started to feel a pins and needles sensation all around my body. The next thing I knew, I was standing in a tall room filled with owls. There were all kinds of owls. Barn owls, great horned owls, snowy owls, etc.

A barn owl gracefully landed on my shoulder, and whispered to me "Look up, you will find all the ingredients to create an aging potion, on that platform with a cauldron." I thanked the owl, and looked up. There was a floating platform in the middle of the air about 80 feet up.

I super jumped onto the platform and could feel a cold wind blowing in my face. On the platform I saw an eyeball, a book, and a green marker. I picked up the book, but it was blank. I slowly dropped it into the black cauldron. White smoke came out of it, and I heard a banging noise. I picked up all the other items and put it in the cauldron.

When I was done putting the last ingredient in, a cup appeared in front of it, filled with green liquid. I picked it up, and slowly brought it to my lips. It tasted like a sour green apple! I loved it! I drank as much as I could, but I forgot it was an aging potion!

My legs started to feel weak, and I could see a white beard growing out of my chin. I started to look exactly like Dumbledore! A cane appeared by my feet, but when I bent down to get it, I fell! Oh my god I hate being old I said to myself.

I used my wand to make me look and feel young again. The transformation to become young was slow, but felt good. Owls were still flying all around me.

I couldn't remember if there was any more Hufflepuff tasks but I did remember one Universal task! I held out my wand and said "Accio...broomstick!" I felt cold wind all around me and a broomstick flew into my hand.

I cautiously got onto it. It was little bigger than I expected (width wise). Right when I sat down it zoomed forward, and I had a hard time controlling it and hanging on! All the owls looked up and surrounded me. They grew hands and guided me to safety.

Once I got to the ground I decided to try it again. I got on it, and nothing happened. I pointed it up, and it shot up! When I pointed it right, it went right and when I pointed it left it zoomed left! I looked for any windows or doors to fly out of, but couldn't find any. Just this long room filled with owls. It didn't occur to me I could just teleport out since it was a dream.

I flew around the room for a couple minutes, when I fell of the broomstick! It was so unexpected, I just fell and hit the ground fast! I woke up, and could see that someone turned on my fan in the middle of the night.

I am in Sunset Valley and I am in front of a school. It starts out as a video game but then it becomes reality. I go outside and it opens up into a field of green trees and blue skies. The air is fresh and crisp. I turn to my left and I see my friends sitting at a table on a country deck and my brother, my friend Anthony and another friend of mine is in the I then go inside and the school has all murky colors and there is no light. I go up the stairs and slip on the thirteenth step but thankfully I don't fall down. I reach the top of the stairs and get in line for lunch...I smell cocanut pudding(yum) and I see an array of sweets. I ask for pudding and the lunch lady mumbles something...everything freezes and I wake up...

throughout this dream I could hear kids talking in the background but when I woke up it wasn't on the radio.

black:sad and depressed
Royalblue: happy and elated

I was in a giant camp ground. The landscape reminded me of the Gorge Amphitheater. I was there with Dina and Michael and we set up a big tent for the three of us. I remember Michael was making a huge deal about where the tent would go in relation to where the car was parked and how much privacy our camp area had. I really didn’t give a shit so I let Michael be in charge of it. After we set up our red tent, we started to explore the area. It was an extremely sunny and warm day. I could feel the sun on my skin. I was in jean shorts and a red tank top. I had a strip of acid that had gotten some water on it. The strip contained 6 hits. I ate the whole strip because for some reason I believed the water on the strip was diluting it. Michael then gave me an ecstasy pill and I took that as well. There was a carnival adjacent to our camping area. In the carnival was a “spooky” Halloween themed ride. I wanted to go onto the ride but I wasn’t sure about how I would feel being on acid and ecstasy and going down the steep roller coaster portion of it. Instead I walked around the end of the ride which was an enclosed haunted house thing. It was extremely well decorated and I enjoyed looking at the ghost and skeletons. When I walked back outside of the haunted house, the cast from “Always Sunny in Philadelphia” were there. Charlie (from the show) was bragging about how he “banged me” (something Charlie would say on the show) 3 times to Denise. I’m not attracted to Charlie at all and I had no recollection of this “banging” taking place but I didn’t care because the drugs were starting to kick in. I felt extremely happy, at ease, and super giggly. Charlie continued to brag to Denise and Denise looked really upset. For some reason I felt bad for Denise and I walked up to him to cheer him up. He was gazing aimlessly out onto a pond in a really cheesy fashion and this made me laugh a lot. It was becoming twilight out and I remember looking out over the scenery and thinking it looked really beautiful and magical in a way. I stood for a while looking at the sun set over the cliffs. Something weird happens here and I disappear from the dream. Now I am seeing things from Denis’s point of view. As Denis I look over and see Sarah Palin running towards me. I turn the other way and see a house where a party in going on. I run into the house through the back sliding glass doors. A lot of attractive people in there 20’s are there drinking and dancing to the music. I lock the door right as Sarah begins to pull on it. I then remember the front door is unlocked and I run there and lock that door as well. I get there just before Sarah does again. Then I rush to the top floor (of this 3 story house) where I find Mac. I warn him that Sarah is coming and that we need to hide. (I am really not sure why I was so scared of Sarah Palin in this dream or why I felt the need to hide from her.. lol) I see a small shelf that is obviously wayyyyyyy to small for me to fit in and yet I crawl into it. (Should have realized I was dreaming here.. Big time!) I pull a blue and white afghan blanket over my body to conceal myself. Almost immediately after I hide myself, Sarah walks into the room. She pulls the blanket off of me and pulls me out of the self. Sarah has cut her hair in the style of Xena the warrior princess and is wearing the exact same outfit from the show. I (Denis) begin to scream “Lucy Lawless” over and over again at her. She snarls at me and grunts like a pig. I manage to wiggle my way free from her and run out of the room. I hop down an entire flight of stairs but she is still faster then me. She grabs me by my collar and pulls me towards her face again. I (Denis) scream out like a little girl and begin to repeat “Lucy Lawless” over and over again. Wake up… WTF??

i was at a pawn shop with my mother. we walked tho this back gate to this area were all the cars are held. there was a Subaru wrx there that i really really wanted to drive in real life. my mom walked over and said lets go. i said will dusty get mad?(he is the owner of the car) the she replyed. but i dont remember what she said. i got in the car and started it. i got very happy that i finally get to drive this car. we drove off from the area out in to the town. when i noticed how awesome the motor sounded but the blow off valve on the car was very quiet. also when i shifted it was so perfect. the shifter moved nice and smooth in to gear. after driving for a while i ended up at a friends house, but this house wasnt really his. we got out of the car to go talk. me and my mom talked to my friend and his dad about something i dont remember then i decided to open up the hood of the car. i opened it and looked at the engine. i remember the turbo was like half the engine and had its one belt drive. then my friend pulled the belt of the turbo. i got all pissed and started to fix it. i kept calling him a dumb son of a bitch. then i woke up

Dream - Lucid

A gigantic nuclear bomb had been launched at China; it had come from space. It completely destroyed China, Europe, and pretty much that entire side of the planet.

On the other side of the planet in the U.S., I was at home with my family. My mom and brother were definitely there, but I'm not sure where my dad was. Everything was eerily quiet and dark. There was no wind, nothing. Despite our distance from the affected side of the world, we were under a nuclear winter. Radiation could easily kill us. I was worried about that.

At that moment, we were easily some of the only survivors of this nuclear catastrophe.

I walked out into the garage, and Ryan was there, looking through some old stuff we have up against the wall. He turned to look at me. I'm not sure whether or not we spoke.

I went upstairs to look around, and saw that part of my room had caved in. I laughed and called my mom and brother to show them what had happened. It's not like I'd be needing that room anyway, we needed to get out of there.

We were trying to find somewhere safe to go. I was going around the house, collecting things that I thought we may need. I picked up a couple of throw blankets, both cat-themed with little mice and such stitched into them. I was scared that I may touch something that was affected by the radiation. As I scanned the room, everything had this still, stifling air about it. I gathered up a few more things, though they weren't necessarily things that we would probably need. I just wanted to save everything.

i miss being lucid! brings back so many memories... i might start up again, but my schedule is really busy and i have no time to practice/meditate etc.

anyways, i remember the past 3 dreams i've had in the past 3 nights.

first dream: i was part of some kind of rich family of assassins, or something like that. the dream started off with me driving to a hotel and i was supposed to meet my brother and some other dude there. i got in, checked into the hotel. when i got in, i got this "aura" or feeling like someone was outside my door, and he was not friendly. i look at my door and sure enough there's these two feet that's trying to seep its way in from the top of the door (dream imagination ftw?). as soon as i notice, he barges in and trys to kill me. i react by throwing these weird sharp stick things, dodging his attacks at the same time. i end up killing him, and a lil later my brother shows up. dream switches to a really rich mansion. i'm inside, and there's this meeting thing going on about finding our "father". supposedly everybody there was my brother and sister or something. then i go outside to the backyard, and there's these giant pools, like 4 of them. it must have been like a park in our backyard, because it was huge. that's all i remember.

second dream: i'm "auditioning" to be a rapper for eminem or something? i have to go through these tests, some weird ass tests, like eating a container full of noodles in under 2 minutes or something. there's another test that has something to do with a dog or something. i pass, and i see dr. dre congratulating me or something. TIME-OUT.. sudden dream recall: i remember something about these tons of envelopes that belonged to my uncle tito darwin. inside these envelopes held tons of free stuff, some really really valuable, like gems and gold and such, others like casual items like clothes or money or something. i stole a whole box full of those envelopes... and i dont remember much after that. anyway, back to main dream story: suddenly im in the "house" of eminem lol. i don't really see eminem at all in my dream, but i know its "his" house. i see a bunch of people, including amelia which i wave to and she waves back. i go to her to hug her but she ignores me so i kinda play it off and act like i wasnt going to hug her LOL. then... i THINK someone trys to break in and steal something from the house, and he gets away. i turn to tryndamere and i whirl out of the wall to chase him down... and the dream ends from there.

third dream: i dont remember much from this night... but all i remember is dreaming about my ex nikki. this dream made me really sad for some reason lol, i guess i was just feeling lonely in that dream (if u can even feel emotions in a dream, which im pretty sure you can.) i ended up waking up and being somewhat sad that the dream wasnt real and that i just woke up to reality. that's not really me, although i have had a lot of dreams where i wake up sad because the dream is over. unconscious emotions?

I had the coolest dream ever. But i don't remember again.

It was like some kind of movie. Like , Bug's life. But this time it was about spiders. I was looking at the life of some weird unevolved spider. Looked like an ant. I dont know lol!! It was really cute and funny i was just watching this all unfold in a 3 hour scenario. With twists and turns, and happy parts and sad parts but i just can't remember lol.

There was like this small family of spiders. A bunch of really little ant-like creatures and one bigger spider. All walking around hills and stuff looking for foods. And trying to avoid bigger animals. Then some furry animal kidnapped one of the spiders or something and the whole thing turned into a quest to kill the furry animal. Eventually all of the spiders jumped on the animal and it died. But not without squashing like 3-4 baby spiders. But it was still a happy end. Then a baby evolved into real spiders. Then one spider evolved into a even bigger, harier and greener (alien) spider. Then i kinda started waking up with amnesia.

It was on a cold and misty morning. I can see a few people in my kitchen talking and enjoying their conversations. Though, I had no clue who these people were. I walked in front of them cautiously and then I see something coming from behind one of the girls. It was a person wearing a white mask of a cursed ghost. I remember the fear but I can also remember being lucid. And because of that, I looked at the person under the mask with courage. Now, I walk outside to search for things that could interest me. It was messy in the backyard and I saw a few people hanging around a tree in the back. But for some strange reason, I felt depressed. I then walked over to the right of the house and stood there for a minute. I performed a few actions. First, I tried to see if I had any special combat moves. Second, I jumped up to see if I was able to fly away from my current location. I couldn't. Now, as I proceeded further towards the front of the house to the left, I pinched my nose to see if I was indeed lucid. At this point, I was amazed that I was lucid and didn't escape the dream as soon as I become lucid. But there was one thing I've always wanted to do in my dreams. That is, kiss the girl of my dreams and being able to hold her in my arms. As I have done before, I tried to summon her around a corner by putting my deep faith in believing she would be around the corner. But when I turned to a corner, I would see her, but only for a couple seconds. But those couple of seconds delighted me. She appeared to be vivid and I wanted to try and summon her around a corner again but I always failed.

Morning 4:
This morning I decided to give it another go. My wife was getting up early to go to work so I figured that would be a good time to try again to see if I get better results while in bed alone. She got up about 5:30am so I took the 2 pills of Lucid Dreamer and 1 pill of L-Theanine. I laid in bed sorta snoozing until she left around 6:00am. I am successfully keeping calm-ish instead of being too excited like usual. Falling asleep actually takes a long time still, even though I feel relaxed and calm. The dog jumps up on the bed but is pretty quiet so I let her stay. I put in ear-plugs to block out the jets and the traffic of the morning. They are uncomfortable (I need to buy different ones) so I end up taking them out. I kind of roll around and snooze a bit but no actual sleep until 7am....

Before, while I'm attempting to go to sleep, about an hour into it (6:30am) I am messing around with shifting my awareness, as mentioned in this book: Amazon.com: Astral Projection And the Nature of Reality: Exploring the Out-of-body State (9781571744470): John Magnus: Books. It is actually working pretty good and is helping me remove focus away from my breathing and my body. I kind of make my awareness wander around the house, which I think was pretty easy due to the pills being at their peak.

At some point I do fall asleep and dream about having to blow up some mountain. It's all kinda fuzzy like my dreams are normally, but then I kind of stop and look at this mountain. I notice that it looks familiar and realize I'm laying down and looking at this mountain (which is more like a hill with a steep face). The hill had a couple buildings on top, sort of like an observatory but I don't recognize them as that in the dream. I start scanning the hill with my vision from right to left. As I look towards the left, the hill keeps going further than it was supposed to and I see a lone oak tree at the top. I try to focus on the tree, much like mentioned in "The Art of Dreaming" (at least that's what I was thinking). As I'm scanning the hill from right to left, everything starts coming into focus. As I look at the tree, I get the feeling that I want to fly towards it or teleport to it, but as I'm thinking that, the whole seen get's super vivid and in-focus. As I mentioned, my head is laying down so as I'm looking at this tree, it all fades away and I wake up. That was maybe at an 8 for vividness, which is pretty awesome compared to normal.

I look at the clock and it's almost 7. I roll over and try to get back to sleep for another hour before having to wake up for work. Now starts the sleep paralysis, finally! It happens almost exactly as last time, loud noise and colors in front of my eyes. Same thing happens, it sorta slows down but then I force it ahead so it gets more intense. Then it stops and I start trying to get up. (Side-tangent note: my dad mentioned to me last week that he doesn't really feel anything in the house except in my back guest bedroom. Nothing negative but something none the less. This is in my mind as something to investigate next time I am able to "get up") As a means to combat the SP fear, since my wife isn't there, I'm not sure what I will see, so I start picturing myself as Neo from The Matrix. So when I get up, I sort of lift myself up and roll over the dog off the side of the bed. It's getting light outside so my room is actually light and I can see, which is different than the last couple times I was in SP. I have a samurai sword in my hand, so I am not affraid. I don't see or hear anything in my room, so I go to investigate the other room. When I get in the other room, it looks kind of like my bed is in there but with a lot of crap piled around (this is more of a storage room anyway so there is crap, but there is more of it now). The room is a lot lighter than my room so I can see better. I don't see anything bad but for some reason I just start hacking stuff up with my sword (whatever was there is probably scared or pissed off now, great!). I see on the bedspread that there is dust and debris from the stuff I hacked up. As I look at it, I am able to focus on it and the whole scene suddenly becomes really vivid. Then it fades and I am back in bed.

I don't think that was the first time I got up but that is by far the one that sticks out. I think I walked around the house a bit before that one but don't remember the details. Anyway, after that I thought I woke up but it was a false-awakening. I get up again but don't remember what I did, I think I went into the room again. Then I was back in bed again. I opened my eyes and looked at my dog because it felt like she was shaking a little bit. As I looked at her, I noticed she was facing a different way, and she wasn't shaking but the whole room was, pretty violently. I thought I was awake and there was an earthquake (I like in California, so it could've been), but I close my eyes and it subsides and I have another false-awakening. As I was laying there about to "get up" again, suddenly I felt and heard someone directly behind me. It made me jump and suddenly I was paralysed and panicking again. It wasn't as bad as last time, I was actually trying to "get up" in the dream so I could face whatever it was, the problem being that I couldn't move and this person was talking directly behind my ear. Same thing happened as last time and all I could do is grunt and then finally woke up.

I kicked myself because once again, I felt like my subconscious was messing with me in the guise of my wife, because it was her voice that I heard. And I realized that after I woke up, she was literally saying "Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah." as if she was telling me something but it was all in "blah-blah". I laid there laughing and a little frustrated, thinking that my subconscious is really trying to hold me back.

I feel like I am making progress but wish I could do this without the pills. At least the pills are helping me to get used to the sensations and do a little exploring in the meantime while I work on the non-drug induced WILD's.

I was riding my bike from somewere to a friends house. i was going tho the ghetto and i saw a house with 100s of cans in there front yard. i told my self that im going to come back and get those.

Im now at my friends house and im telling him about the cans, he said i needed to wait till 2maro. there was 4 other people at this house. 2 little girls, 17 year old kid and 16 year old black kid. i remember just walking around the house for a little bit then i think i went to sleep in the dream.

i was now one a bed in that same house. one of the little girls was in the room just standing up. i was about to walk out of the room but i saw the black kid was humping his bed. i was laughing as hard as i could then i left the room. i walked though the house to the back yard were my friend and the other kid was at. i was telling the other kid that i woke up early and went for a bike ride.(which i do not remember) i walked back to thw side of the house. there was a big lifted truck and a whole bunch of junk. i told them we should get those cans now. the other kid started to randomly load this yellow dirt bike on the truck. it made sense then but in real life it doesn't. after that we left to go look for the house with the cans. i dont remember much from when were driving. but i do know that i couldn't really remember where the house with the cans was.

We ended up at some very nice area with nice houses. me, my friend, and some women were walking on a lawn. then some crazy old man came up and was trying to run us over. we ran to the houses and just yelled at us. i saw some people building some houses near by. i walked over and saw some cans in the dirt. i went over to them and started to crush them. this women said it wouldn't matter but i said every one counts. i put the cans in the back of the truck which was now there. we all got in and started to drive.

Background:
I have always been interested in dreaming because my dreams are usually a fun adventure all on their own. So my thought was that, wouldn't it be even better if I could gain some control over them? Over the past 10 years I have had it in the back of my mind and maybe had one or two experiences where I realized I was dreaming and immediately woke up. Otherwise not much success but I didn't really put much effort into it.

I decided to take it a bit more seriously over the past couple of years and have been trolling the DreamViews forums looking for any and all advice that I might be able to put to use to help get more control over my dreaming. Over the course of this time, I had only one time that I remember where I actually had lucid dream-like dreams or happenings. First time was an accidental WBTB where I suddenly was aware that I was dreaming even though everything was black. I knew to look at my hands so I did so and they looked like they were made up of small shimmering points of light in the shape of my hands and forearms. I decided to try to spin to see if I could change to an actual dream scene but only succeeded in spnning around in the bed so my head was where my feet were. I looked down at my feet at the head of the bed, but then woke up realizing I had a false-awakening. That was pretty cool but really was the only time I had any success.

On DreamViews I came across the discussion about supplements. I started with trying out B6, not much luck other than making it difficult to go to sleep. Then I came across the Galantamine/Choline combo. Sounded pretty interesting so I thought I would give it a try. (purchased Lucid Dreamer from Advanced Dream Nutrition: Dreamamins With Galantamine)

Morning 1:
First time taking it. I am normally super excited when I try to do anything lucid dreaming related so naturally it's always difficult to actually fall asleep (normally I have no problem sleeping and sleep quite well). Over the past couple weeks I have been waking up consistently at 4am to go to the bathroom so I thought this would be perfect for a WBTB. I had work in the morning but I figured it would give me enough time to check it out before having to get up around 7am. So I take two pills for a total of 8mg Galantamine and 400mg Choline and get back in bed. I'm excited so I lay there for awhile. Look at the clock, 4:30. Lay there longer, still excited, 5:00. Supposedly Galantamine peeks after an hour so I'm even more excited, still awake... 5:30. Since it has peeked, my normal day-dreams are starting to feel more like my normal dreams, more realistic and sort of take on a life of their own. No sleep paralysis that I am aware of (which has been my goal for a while, a WILD). Finally go to sleep around 6...

I have a series of dreams that are like my normal dreams (sort of hazy but involved). However, I am aware that I am dreaming but kind of in a hazy way. The first dream I am in some parking garage but I am aware. The second dream I am in a Wal-mart when suddenly everything slams into focus and I am completely aware. I decide to fly out through the roof. I break through the roof and there's sparks and electricity and it's all pretty vivid. But then I move on to the next one. Another hazy one but I'm aware so have sex with whoever was nearest. I think a couple more like that. Then the false awakenings start...

I sleep next to my wife who snores a bit. Normally it has zero impact on my sleeping. During the false awakenings though, it enters into it. I keep sitting up in bed and looking over at my wife. The first couple times she's laying down but is talking to me. The only way I know it's a FA is because I hear her snore. Then she is sitting up and talking to me, looking at me with a crooked smile. I realize she's not up when I hear her snore. Then she tells me someone is in the bathroom. I go in there and see a little girl sitting on the toilet. Since I'm still in rapist mode from my previous dreams, I try to have sex with her. I hear a snore and I'm actually back in bed. I'm laying there and hear my wife talking to me a couple more times but I don't look over. In between sentences I hear her snore. This is a really strange feeling. Then I wake up fully and am done dreaming. I get up and go to work, feeling a bit groggy/dazed from this whole experience. But I also feel good from actually making some progress after so long.

*Note on the FA's: since I've been doing a lot of research on WILDs, the sleep paralysis part has been slightly intimidating. I've always wondered what I will experience - old woman mumbling; demon at the foot of the bed; earthquake, etc. But it seems that what I experience is my wife, which is actually pretty cool.

Was walking through a labratory with Leo and kara. We got attacked and went inti a giant battle scene. Leo had a better gun and was mowing doe enemys. We were doing really well ans were getting farther. There were three robot things we had to get past. We tried to sneak through and failed they discovered us. We had to kill them. It seemed like they were invincible. There was nothing I could do to stop their attacks. Leo somehow found a way into their machine and was shooting rockets at them. They still couldn't die. I had to find a way inside a machine. Kara was doing the same thing. We had to find an open unoccupied machine. I ran around and found one. The professor was trying to stop me but I got in. I was scares I would he too tall but I fit perfectly. It was really fun. I was inside a giant robot and could shoot rockets and fly and do anything. We trapped the last robot and they gave up. There was a truce and we talked about the robots for a while and how they worked. We made a deal that they would one day make a smaller body suit for us.

Leo and I were back at birmingham. Kara dina and I wanted to go out but Leo didn't. For some reason Leo and I attacked eachother like creatures. Not in anger but for fun. We were biting and jumping around making weird noises. After we stopped we looked around and saw red and blue energy all around us. It was like the fighting was giving us power. We had to keep fighting to increase our strength. We fought a couple more times.

It was haloween and adam and I were going to walk around the neighborhood. Adam had a flowstaff and so did I. We were going outside when I got teleported to a festival. This was some massive underground festival and I was looking for the guys who scammed the vial from me. I met a guy that I thought knew his whereabouts. It took me a while to explain who he was because I forgot his name and tried really hard to remember it. I finally did remember and he knew. He gave me a general direction to look. I also wanted to do some mdma while I was there and a guy came up to me and said people were handing it out. I went to a weird shop aid there was a wise man there. We talked a bit and he gave me free mdma. I was about to leave when his eyes got big and he started telling me important facts about my life. I forgot most of them because this was the first dream of the night but his message to me kept me up half the night thinking about them. The only one I remember was that I shouldn't go to Russia and even though I think I want to go there deep down I don't. I thanked him and went on my way. It was morning now and most people were starting to come down and prepare for the next night. I was just coming up. I was feeling good and happy and was walking around talking to random people having a great time.

This was a very interesting dream!

Non-Lucid Part

I'm playing some version of a Kingdom Hearts game and I'm in Destiny Islands. All of a sudden, I see this portal. Not being one to back down from a portal, all three characters--Sora, Donald, and Goofy--go through the portal. As per my controling them, of course.
The next thing I know, I'm playing as Riku and every single Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy character is trying to kill me!
I'm thinking,"Oh, crap, Oh, crap..." as I try to turn every which way. There are portals, but no! They're on the other side of those as well. Finally, I see this ocean like portal. Think of Moses opening up the ocean and it's starting to part. Only this time the bad guys get through! Thankfully, that headache of a dream ends and the next thing I know, I'm running away from some threat with my younger brother. We see this small, yellow house and hide behind it. We're talking about what we're going to do about this threat--must not have been much of one because I don't even remember what it was. I see a gigantic tub of red Play-Doh near us and I valiantly offer to carry it up this nearby hill and place it next to a tree where it will protect us.
Uh, right.
As I set it down, I realize I'm dreaming.

Lucid Part

"Oh my, I'm dreaming,"I murmur. I glance over at my brother and don't want to leave him, but I can't see any more threats. I walk over and explain that I'm leaving. He just nods and tells me to be careful.
The next thing I do is get on a motorcycle. I suddenly remember that I should probably stabilize my dream.
"Stabilize! Clarity now!"
I'm looking around at all the tall, silver skyscrapers and the people driving their cars. Riding this motorcycle isn't as exciting as running really fast--which I love to do in dreams.
"Wait a minute,"I think," shouldn't I be more excited that I'm riding a motorcycle and lucid dreaming?"
I never have to worry about waking up from excitement because I'm really, really calm in my dreams.
I don't press on this any furthur and just continue to ride my motorcycle. Why should I worry about something that needs no worrying?
Finally, I stop at this hospital in the city. As I walk in, some of the people glance over. A few of them even smile. Being the courteous person that I am, I return the smile. I want to talk to one of them, but I'm not sure which one to talk to. Finally, I see this older woman doctor with big glasses and dyed reddish brown hair. I ask to speak to her privately and we walk into her slightly cluttered office. She has a bunch of doctor certificates and diplomas on her wall. As soon as she shuts the door, though, I get severely tongue-tied.
"I..I...I d-don't k-know...how...how to say this, b-but--"
"--But this is all a dream,"she brightly exclaims.
I'm flabbergasted. She continues to smile and waits for me to say something.
"H-How,"I finally blurt out.
"Well, of course all of us would know."
I faintly think of all the stories about DCs crying when someone tells them it's all a dream. The stories of them denying it, or even worse, beating the dreamer up.
"Shouldn't all of you be upset or deny it...Or beat me up?"
She looks at me for a moment and says," Of course not. Why should we beat you up or deny what we already know is the truth?"
"But, still...You...aren't real."
"So? Like you've said yourself before, we may not be real, but we still exist. You don't have to be real to exist."
I am pondering that comment and I realize that I have said that.
"Besides, you're always very nice to us and considerate to how we might feel when you change things around. It would be rude to beat you up or call you a liar."
I know she's right, but it still feels weird.
"Never mind all that though. Would you like to come overfor some supper?"
I nod and go eat at her house. I can't remember the rest, but I know that I was lucid throughout the entire thing.

After I woke up and wrote the dream down, I fell back asleep and had another lucid dream. Sadly, I only remember a little and for a very good reason.

The Second Lucid Part
"Heck, yes! Another lucid dream," I exclaim.
My sister glances at me and asks,"Are you going to write this one down as well?"
I smirk and exclaim,"No need. The last one was so awesome that there is definitely no reason to write this one down."
Then, I remember that Scarlett Johansson was there but nothing else.
I have never had two lucid dreams in the same night before.
