memorable

So this dream was the first zombie dream I've had in a long time but it ended with me being lucid.

Okay so it started on a Camp Ground (as usual), and everything was normal. There were a lot of people I knew there, it was like a big gathering from my church. I just walked around and checked stuff out and talked to people about normal stuff. Then I noticed a Japanese girl with an anime haircut and outfit. She seemed alone and she wasn't talking with anyone so I introduced myself to her and led her around the campgrounds showing her the place. Then we met some people around our age and they were watching the crazies on a small tv plugged into a wall outlet on the outside of the cafeteria. It was half over when we got there. She was nervous at first but she got used to the other people there and I got to know a few of them (don't remember them but I know I got to know them). She didn't like the video because she said it scared her. I told her not to worry and that it's just a movie. When the movie was over I said that I was going to go back to my camp. When I turned to walk away I saw a guy on the shore of the lake trying to catch a bird and eat it. He looked like one of the crazies from the movie.

Everyone sitting near me that had been watching the movie just froze. The japanese girl said, "It can't be..." I immediately ran to the camp ground to tell everyone what I had just witnessed. They said I was just letting the movie get to me. I remember walking around some more and then decided to get back to the people I met watching the movie a while before. When I got there they were watching a women in the lake with water up to her nose with only her eyes showing above the waterline. She looked like one of the crazies. She just stared at us with no blinking and dark eyes. The people around me were talking about helping her and I was the only one that said it was not a good idea and that we need to warn everyone. Nobody believed me...

I ran to the camp and it was becoming hard to find people. Cars were not moving, no fires, just silence.

I knew I had to hurry and find something/someone to help me. I ran to an office building (odd having one of those on a camp ground) but it was somewhat destroyed. I ran to the building and rushed to find guns or something. Then, two crazies came from around the corner of a hallway and ran at me. I grabbed a piece of concrete from the building rubble and smashed one in the head and punched the other one in the head. They both lost their heads with ease (surprisingly).


I ran to the elevator but it was smashed in with a giant I-beam smashing through it. I took the stairs and explored the building a little bit but found nothing useful... I looked out the window of the building and saw two guys with an army truck and a machinegun turret on the back of it. And they were shooting at a few crazies but were also shooting at normal people. They were doing it just because they could. I knew I had to get out of here. I ran back down to the stairs and ran toward the parking lot to find a car and there were a ton of people running and screaming frantically in panic. Then things got worse. The two people on the army truck started crashing through cars and shooting everyone. I hid behind a car and watched people get mowed over by machinegun fire. They drove off after more people and I told everyone that we had to call for help but they said the phones were not working. I ran back towards the camp grounds and noticed some disco lights going off from the cafeteria. I can't remember if I was more relieved or confused.

And now, the strangest part.

There were crazies all around and all walking towards the cafeteria and TALKING TO EACH OTHER. They were like zombies. Slack in the jaw, mouth open, and the weirdest part was they talked with a redneck country accent. Now I have a country accent and I know that this was a REDNECK country accent. I thought maybe if I act like them, I can go in there too and they won't know. I walked in and talked redneck and had my mouth open and to the side (like a mentally challenged kid) and they didn't notice!!! Inside the cafeteria was a live band that weren't crazies, arcade machines, a dance floor, and food stands. I started having some fun and thought maybe they were just crazies in appearance and were just misunderstood. Then, I noticed that many of the crazies in there were friends and family of mine that were at the campground. I talked with them and they were glad to see me and were glad I could join them and be a crazy.

Then after a while the music got quiet and someone got up on stage and said, "People, you know why were here!" Everyone cheered. "We are here to stop the humans and destroy them!" More cheering but occasional zombie sounds like hissing and snapping. "We will kill them, eat them, or change them onto our side!" They all cheered and started exiting the building slowly.

I desperately tried to get away before someone noticed me and right when I got out of the cafeteria, they saw me going the wrong way and snarled "A human! Get him!" I ran as fast as I could through the forest until I came up on a hill and there was a cliff edge with a drop that I couldn't see the bottom of. I looked at the scenery and realized I was dreaming.

Scenery does that for me I don't know why but when I see lots of scenic stuff, I immediately feel that I'm dreaming.

I turned around and saw the crazies still pursuing me and said "I've got to get away from here."

I jumped off the ledge and looked forward and flew.

I flew for a while until I knew I was far enough and then thought hey what if I flew lower to have some fun while flying. So I lowered my altitude and then I started rapidly approaching the ground and tried to raise back up and I crashed into the ground while moving forward and into a woodsy area.

Then, I woke up. <--------Most common journal entry ending.

I had the coolest non-lucid ever last night. Unfortunately it took such a long time to come back to me that by the time I remembered I wasn't near anything I could write it down on. Anyway, here's what I can remember, 10 hours later.

I was in a dark room with some other "students," all sitting at different tables. I was in a corner near a window, which was too dark to see out of. On the table there were a few cards with different pictures on them. I experimented with a card that had a picture of a snowflake and some tomato looking fruit on the table. The card floated above my hands and I focused really hard on it. The fruit began to freeze and the snowflake lifted off the card into the air. It began to undo itself so I concentrated really hard. It froze solid and dropped to the table.

I was amazed, so I decided to try the fire card. The same thing happened, but instead there were orange orbs lifting out of the card. The fruit lit on fire, but both instances were on a small scale, so the fire went out as the fruit dropped to the table.

Next thing I knew I was in the car with my parents. I showed them what I learned, and neither seemed to be amazed with it, even though I was. I called it alchemy, although it was more like regular magic than alchemy.

Started out i was standing by a booth along what looked like our 4th of july parade route...it looked like it was going to rain, there was thunder, and sporatic rain falling......and i was thinking our fireworks wouldbe cancelled again...(the fireworks were cancelled this year due to extremely high fire risk...irl) i turned around and a small plane landed in the street and the pilot go tout and tid a rope to the propeller and started walking the plane down the street, i turned around and my dad was running the booth, he told me to tell him he couldnt be in the parade if the plane was only self powered...so i walked over to the guy and told him what i was told, and he went over to my dad and started argueing with him...i walked up the hill behind the booth, there were like 3 or 4 other booths along the parade route..one ws in the middle of the highway! i was walking towards where the fireworks wouldbe launched, and i notidced how cloudy, windy and cold it had gotten, and it was even lightly raining this time..allof a sudden fireworks started going up as if it was the grand finale..i decided i should have video taped the fireworks for mom, sicne she was in the hopsital and could see them this time..(shes not in the hosptial irl, thankfully) i turned and started walking back to the booth, and i noticed everytime the lightning would flash or the fireworks would go off i would see the shadows of everything that could cast shadows..including my own..i became lucid this time and turned to the left and down the hill heading home....i ended up walking down a small dirt alley behind a home i lived in many years ago..i saw a long dead cat wandering around, i stopped and petted him..havent seen him in many years, and continued on my way......i saw a guy i know in town here irl, walking towards me, suddenly i realized his laundry was finished...um...ok....so he followed me into the house and i opened the dryer and started pulling out clothes..the clothes had like white gunk all over them...i told him..guess youve got to come back later...he said, i'll come back later....... i walked into the living room and there was an old lady standing there buy a table by the door..i decided to do a RC and turned on the lamp on the table where she was standing, it came on..and i observed the surrounding area and noticed shadows etc normally associated with turning on a lamp irl....but i still knew i was dreaming...RC failed! hehe... she handed me some pictures of some girl..or lady..and ask for 2 copies of each(i manage an office supply and make copies every day practically irl) i walked over to the kitchen and realized the copier was out of town....i started rummaging in the cabinets...then woke up...

I dreamed that there was a crowd of people in a big room which looked like Sword-Base from Halo Reach. At one point they were all chasing this sea lion. It ran into another small room and tried to activate the force-field door to shut the crowd out. However, it was still half in the doorway and it pushed it back into the room with the crowd.

Then there was a seagull carrying a whale back to it's natural habitat. It was flying over a bit of ocean. There were lots of small islands consisting of just rock and some sand below the steep cliffs. The sun was setting, casting an orange glow over these islands and the few clouds. It was beautiful - like something out of a painting

It seems when I dream, the different dreams just come and go, so I'll skip to the one that contained lucidity.
I was in a hotel in a large, busy looking city (or at least that's what I saw from the window) along with my girlfriend, and a women who appeared to be a nurse, from maybe a 1940's era.No one was injured, so I still don't quite understand her presence in this. I had come to the conclusion that we had traveled back in time, and I was trying to figure out a way for me and my girlfriend to get back to our time. When i opened the door that was in the hotel room, it led to an identical room, and for some reason, I came to the conclusion that it would be possible to get back to "our time" if we back into this door. We did this, through many hotel doors, all of them taking us to identical rooms, but not taking us home. Eventually we stopped and took a break. We sat down, and I told the nurse that maybe if we went to sleep, me and my girlfriend would wake up in our own time. She then brought us milk and chocolate chip cookies and we began to slowly eat them at a small table in the hotel room. The setting of the hotel room was of a gorgeous Victorian era, that completely contradicting the setting of the polluted city outside the window. I had finished my cookies, stood up, and started walking to the window, and then I though to myself "How could we have traveled through so many hotel rooms, and seemingly end up where we were in the first place? How did we even time travel in the first place? Time travel isn't possible, I must be dreaming!" It was then that the floor beneath me began shaking, almost crumbling (Inception-like?). I remembered the things I had read online of how to stop myself from waking up from a dream, and I had rubbed my hands together and focused on the feeling of it. After everything re-stabilized, I ran to my girlfriend and told her of my realization. I guided her to the window with me, and as we walked past the bed, I noticed a crimson red comforter sprawled about on the bed. I thought to myself "That comforter is green" and then watched in amazement as, from the center of it to the edges, turned a dark green. We arrived at the window and I looked about at all the buildings that were a little tall, but not quite as tall as the one we were in, as we could easily see over them. We then noticed a car heading towards us, or rather the building we were in, with a speed that clearly said the driver had no intentions of stopping. They planned on crashing into the building. With a wave of my right hand, I had easily picked the car up and sent it flying into a distant part of the city, diagonally to the right. A man had then some how jumped from the ground level up the window seal and stood there starring into the room. He was wearing a leather jacket, with a black matching hat, and ripped up denim jeans. His face had cuts, all that was in his eyes were whites, and as he smiled grimly, it was easy to see he was missing teeth. He was easily comparable to a zombie. When he attempted to climb into the window, I waved my right hand and sent him flying in the same direction as the car was sent. My girlfriend had went back to the table to sit down, the nurse was straightening the bed up, and I had moved a few feet to the right of the window and was leaning against the wall. Some how a hog and climbed onto our window seal and had sneezed violently. I watched, in slow motion, as the snot traveled through the air, and hit the nurse in her back. I waved my hand, but nothing happened. I tried maybe two more times, but it wouldn't go away. I then closed my eyes and thought to myself "This is a dream. That isn't a hog, it's a small bunny." I opened my eyes to see that the hog had transformed into a small kitten, with a slightly large head, white fur with patches of black, and big green cat eyes. I picked it up, took it to my girlfriend and she said "it's so cute" in the voice she does whenever she see's something adorable. From there, I believe* I woke up, quite eagerly at the fact that I had had a lucid dream.

* I say I "believe" I woke up, because I don't remember how the dream ended, or even exiting the dream.

I woke up earlier in the morning and had a quick nap between 9:20-9:40 am. It was also a failed lucid dream attempt.

I was on a bus coming from a summer camp to school and I was rolling on the floor and on the front seat were 2 girls and they were interested in me. After we arrived I went to the school yard and there was a fight going on between 2 guys and they were doing some huge ninja kicks.

I went there and got into fight and I had those same powers. Suddenly the fight stopped and I found I had tattoos all over me and some guy came to say "what a nice tattoos" Then these 2 girls who were opn the bus came to talk to me and I woke up.

The first dream I had involved me and my family at some sort of underwater zoo. We could breathe underwater but i forgot to do a reality check. We started diving around and looking at the animals around in the water. Then the feeding show started for the alligators however my mom and younger brother were still inside the water. I didn't know what to do. I saw the employees making a circle of people around the alligators so I guess they won't attack any spectators. My dream ended soon after.

I also had many thoughts this night. When I woke up I started thinking about my old dreams and being in them. They felt real for very short amount of time and vanished away. I first thought about NYC and the WTC attacks, and then I thought about flying in the universe.

The second dream I had involved me and my mom sitting at a table in some kitchen where I have never seen before, and she shows me a wine bottle that has a picture of the Matrix on the front and I asked her how much the price of the bottle was. In the dream I had a thought of the price and it was $47.00, however my mom said that it was $48.00.

My third dream was me standing on the Brooklyn Bridge and looking at an Al-Qaeda member and I saw a bomb strapped to his chest and neck. I jumped on him and removed the bomb and threw it in the water. I also had other New Yorkers hold him down and I went to go look for more of them. I found about 3 members of this terrorist organization and I had done the same thing to them. We killed them all and my dream ended soon after.

I remember me in a dark room with dark curtains surrounding the place and i was with my best friend, i then had a phone call off another friend and i said "yeah ill come roudn to yours" i left the building and began to walk, then i realised how far i was actually going to have to walk and thought "fuck this" so i walked back up to my house, on my bed was my dog, a little king charles spaniel.
As i pressed my face onto hers like i normally do she began to bear her teeth and growl (dream sign that the DC wasn't acting as it should because my dog is a complete wimp) she growled and got into an attacking position, so i left the room.

I walked back in and an ex girlfriend of mine was sat on my bed, but at the time - she wasn't an ex girlfriend, we sat on my bed and begsan to kiss, we then cuddled naked and began to have sex.
We werre cuddling again watching T.V and everything felt amazing and i was really in love.
Suddenly i heard a noise and turned over, my door was slightly open, this because my door was broken.
My parents were there saying "were trying to fix your door" as i was trying to shimmy over to the door under the covers to close it.
Then the door swung open and a bunch of my friends were there like "eyyyy!!!!" i was like "fuuccckkkk guys fuck off im naked!" they whipped off the cover and my girl grabbed my cock and pulled it and it stretched out to the door and richocheied back like elastic. (fucking wierd i know)


I don't remember much after this part at all during the dream i could remember and i rememebr it was very very long.

The next part i remember is becoming lucid.

I was levitating a person with my telekenesis - i was using a dream power which i think it's how it clicked. I was dreaming, i knew i was dreaming but i continued to levitate the person into this really dark musty room, i put him down on the floor and said "ok" i felt myself getting relatively exited and remembered what someone had said on a forum here on dreamviews when i kepy waking up too short from LD's despite trying stabalisation techniques.

i thoguth to myself "get lost in the dream, don't think about waking up" i looked down at my hands and inspected the creases in my palms, i knew this wouldnt be enough, i rapidly rubbed them down my body feeling the bumps in my shirt and then rubbed them really fast accross my legs, i felt the coarse material of the jeans and the sensation of the jeans on the palms of my hands made the phasing out turn into clarity.
I looked down at my hands again and licked one.
I then looked and i was standing on a white dirty matress so i said "what the hell ill do it anyway" i bent down and licked the matress, licking the floor being a stabalisation technique, the mastress tasted salty and of sweaty clothes (i used to chew the wrist section of my jumper in school, a bit like that.)

i thought to myself " this is cool, but i think i'm going to do what i've not done yet and i should do, explore the dream world and enjoy the experience"
Just to clarify i tried to push my finger through my palm - nothing happened i was ramming it through thinking in my head "i am dreaming though, maybe im not dreaming?" then i did the nose plug and it worked.
(the finger through palm decides not to work regularly)
I morphed myself through the window i was looking out of and floated down slowly into the courtyard past a bush, it was night time.
I looked up at the sky and the starts were brighter than i've ever seen then ever, they were like glittering diamonds on a black sheet, i decided it was time to change it to day time so i could see better.
I looked into the sky and said "day time" and clicked my fingers, also thinking of daytime in my head - nothing happened.
So i tried something else. i pointed my finger and the moon and swished my finger downwards, nothing happened.

I looked around and there was more than one moon, i pointed to them one by one swishing my finger down, on the last moon i thought of daytime and thought about the moon dissapearing, i swished my finger down and the moon quickly spun downwards and the sky got lighter, the stars almost exploded into dust, as if they had been pinged off the black sheet from a person on the other side, the sun swung up very quickly from below the horizon.
(this being the first time i've ever changed the weather or anything)

I then carried on walking through the grass and i got to a hole but just after the hole was a fog which i couldn't see past, much like the fog of war in RTS games, it was like this was the edge of my current dream plot, i waved my hand and the fog retreated and dissapeared, i looked down into the hole and everything was sort of pixelated, i laughed and said "this is just like minecraft".

I continued onwards and there was grass above me, like i was in a cave, i flew upwards and put my hand out onto the ground and charged my chi into my hand and began to completely remove the grass as i continued to fly upwards.

I got to the top on a hill and thought "what should i do then?" the first thing that popped to my mind is how ravenknight and wakingnomad meet on the moon, to see if i could indulge in shared dreaming, i have created portals before i thought to myself.

Then i remembered i had agreed to help someone on this website take part in his project on lucid dreaming, the first thing he asked me to do once i became lucid was to ask a tv to show me a new colour and to feel enlightened.
I spawned a tv and it was an old box tv, the screen blurred with static, i said to it "show me a new colour" it flashed a number of colours then an orangy beige colour was on the left half, and purple on the other.
They then morphed into each other and became static again, as if they had completely nullified each other out. I got confused, before i knew anything there were two creatures sat beside the tb, one was square with eyes like a childs toy, stuck onto him by glue and the other was a four legged animal in the shape of a horse but, not quite a horse.
The box one said "hahaha you're no longer dreaming", i realised i was actually looking at very intense HI on the inside of my eye lids at this point.

I remained still to try to DEILD (i wish i hadn't have done this it's led me to forget the bulk of my dream)


I got back into a dream and i could hear "snuff" by slipknot. A song i was listening to before i went to bed.
It was the same as in the video, where the guy was dressed up as a woman, corey taylor walked outside and i wasn't present in this dream, rather looking upon this DC's life from a third person perspective.
He was actually a detective, talking to his boss asking what had happened, the whole time he was doing this he changed in and out of womans clothes almost morphing between the two witout me noticing, the song snuff playing continuously.

I woke up



Things i acheived?
I broke my curse of waking up instantly from an LD through the mentality of thinking about waking up i will put a thanks note in to the guy that said the statement that helped.
telekenesis.
floating/levitating
flying
charing chi
changing the time and weather for the first time
moving fog away for clarity.
Helping someone on a project.
Seeing a new colour.
Second lucid within a week.

[COLOR="silver"]This WILD before bed attempt was harder, because I started to lose consciousnes already on the "go through my day" part.
But I used to have trouble falling asleep, so this is both a way to relax myself and to someday maybe WILD.
It's my weird way of Yoga Nidra Meditation. But I fell asleep and had this dream.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]It felt like I was thinking in my bed and suddenly I was dreaming, although this was many hours later.
I had a weird dream about me being imprisoned by an evil queen. I had the form of Eddard Stark (The character in Games of Thrones) and my (HIS) two daughters were there. We did an attempt to escape, but the queen stopped us.
This queen by the way as the hot Queen Cersei (From the same serie). She came to the prisoncell to smack talk me. I looked at my hands and [/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]I become lucid. But aw.. I couldn't control myself I saw the queen and thought "I Am gonna punish you so hard". She is evil in the serie and she was evil here, but still hot... So I had sex with her, but as soon as those feelings took over the lucidity vanished.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I then had a dream about me having a American girlfriend and we were going to take the boat to somewhere. But only people who talked Swedish were allowed, so me and her tried to fake a conversation. I said "Are you tired sweetie" in swedish. And she answered (Ja) "Jaaa" which means yes. with a long e xD. But we couldn't convince the man and he throw us both into the water! I hate water and I woke up. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I have to remember to ALLWAYS stabilize the dream, I forget it to often.[/COLOR]

Today I had two semi-lucid dreams that were different from any dreams Ive had before. In the first dream I turned on the kitchen facet and the water pressure was low. I thought "I hope this is a dream" and I thought it probably was. I tried to increase the water by will. I imagined a strong flow but this seemed less real than the dream. As soon as I quit imagining the water pressure immediately returned to being low.

In the second dream I put some CDs in a bag and left them on the street for some reason. When I came back I found they had been stepped on and some were broken. I was like "Damn! I hope this is a dream" and I thought it probably was a dream. But I wasnt sure though. Too bad I didnt bother to do some reality checks.

These dreams were after I had gone back to bed after briefly being up. They occurred late in the afternoon.

Type: Regular dream.
Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Nice piece of alliteration there in the title. Anyways...

This whole dream took place during the day, more in the afternoon, and in a parking lot that was a good 75x75 feet, with smooth asphalt on the entire ground and a fence on all four sides. This fence consisted of four rectangular wooden stakes that were flat on top, and a black mesh connecting them on all four sides of the lot; the mesh was fairly transparent but you'd have to squint to see what's past it on the other side.

Three adjacent sides of the lot were lined with cars, arranged very neatly in parking spaces so that their fronts were facing the fence and their bumpers were facing into the lot. You could see all the license plates, but given the situation in the dream I didn't bother looking at them. Smack-dab in the middle of the parking lot, facing the middle row of cars, was a shiny red Challenger. In it were Walter, in the driver's seat, and in the passenger seat was Skyler White of Breaking Bad. Walter was wearing a paler green shirt, while Skyler was more dressed up in a black pinstripe suit and white shirt; it looked like she had just gotten home from work or something.

During all of this, I was watching from the middle backseat of the car. I wasn't present in the dream at all as a person, but I was simply like a camera that was observing the pair. The interior of the car was grey, with black leather seats (it's a pretty weird-looking color scheme if you were to see it...) and there was a larger-than-normal storage box in between the two front seats, although I forget what the technical name for it is.

I knew that Walter and Skyler were looking at a car to buy their son, Walter Jr., whose birthday was coming up. They were running out of time to decide which vehicle to buy. However, they had already looked at a few different "parking lots" full of cars, so I guess this was the final decision.

Skyler spoke first, saying, "I like the mini". There wasn't a mini in the parking lot though, just pickup trucks and midsize cars.

Walter replied after a brief pause. "We should go to Burger King and get the Whopper."

He was in fact referring to a car, and not the restaurant.

I remember starting off in a dungeon of a facility like alcatrez which was elevated on a very tall hill and the hill was surrounded by water.

I was with my Dad, brother (taterking5), and my uncle (Jwhitley's dad). We were in the dungeon but I never could figure out why. We kept trying to find a way out until we discovered the window bars came off.

We looked out the window and the drop to the ground was too high and jumping would surely end with feet in your brain. Below our window ledge about 1 story below us was a water flume coming out of the facility. We details iced to see if we could aim for that.

My dad and bro went first. My dad made it to the flume, but my bro missed entirely and crashed into the ground. We all panicked and couldn't believe what had happened when suddenly he reappeared next to me. Turns out when we die we return to the previous place before death! We didn't ask why.

My dad jumped and landed on another hill 2 stories below the flume. After many deaths and revivals we all made it to the ground safely. We looked out to the water and we were all on a beach. I then had a strange sudden realization that 2hat had just happened couldn't have been real and then became aware of the dream.

Everyone and everything started getting brighter and fuzzier and I thought I was waking up and panicked and dove into the water. Everything slowly became normal again except I was sinking and couldn't surface. I was telling myself I can't drown in a dream as I was swimming back up and eventually overcame the sudden pull toward the ocean floor. I came up out of the water and everyone was back to normal and not fading like before when i thought the dream was fading.

I got back up to the hill and started trying to summon lightning on the horizon but had to give up because I saw some prison guards running towards us. I separated from the group and started to swim away from the facility and towards land. I went toward the road and started running. I saw a wall that extended as far as I could see and realized I was walled in and I was not free yet. I then ran to a guard station and tried to determine how I was going to get past the two guards at the station. One was on my side of the gate and one was outside the gate. I saw that the one on the inside of the gate was standing with no weapon and the one outside of the gate was sitting down but I couldn't tell if he had a weapon or not. I grabbed a stick and slammed it into the head of the guard on my side of the gate (if I wasn't in such a rush I probably would have thought to try and do more dream control). I knocked out the guard when the other stood up with an RPG.



Then time moved in slow motion when he went to squeeze the trigger as I dove behind the station booth. I saw the explosion go off with dirt and chunks of concrete flying everywhere. I knew he would have to take the time to reload it so I ran around the booth, jumped over a wooden fence (went from concrete walls to a wooden fence somehow) and jump on him with a rock and beat him with it until he was unconscious.

I then heard sirens going off so I guess the guard called for reinforcements before I beat the crap out of him. I ran to get to anything that could get me away and found a red 2011 Silverado crew cab like my dad's and for some reason I thought it was my truck. I ran to it and the keys were in it along with a bunch of airsoft guns in the back seat and airsoft gun pistols in the door pockets. I told myself that I could just use some dream control to make them real guns. I then realized that the road was the same road as the livingston camp grounds that our Church goes to for a weekend every year and I saw my cousins Ben and Brett riding bikes down the road and they looked at me and gave the nod (you know raising your head to acknowledge and then continuing with whatever you were doing). I started the truck and started backing it up and then I woke up.

I can't believe I didn't try more control, I guess I was just afraid of getting captured or waking up that I just decided to continue on with the dream with no fear of death knowing I was dreaming...

13 Sep 2011

Some weird psychotropic thriller, I do not know what was going on but Dark_Merlin and I were attempting some weird lucid technique and every time someone said its title it occurred for one of us but it was extremely traumatic. It was a teleportation but it was sudden, uncontrollable and felt like what apparition in Harry Potter is described to feel like only worse. It scared the hell out of me and actually had me not wanting to go back to sleep when I had woken up for the first time in about ten years. I feel that I must admit that I was actually scared of becoming lucid and I hope that this is not a barrier to future attempts. Hamish and Andy had also requested that I meet them for lessons in walking each week. The girl I love was also at the tennis courts. The dream jumped between all of these things in a weird order. The whole dream was rather traumatic at the time. I was genuinely terrified of going back to sleep.

The dream begins in the bush with dad. We just got out of a car at the edge of a new camping ground. It is small, rounded and at the edge of the ground the tree line begins, and continues on into the forest. There is a very large kangaroo a few meters away from us, looking over occasionally. It is after mid-day and the sun is shining through the trees, creating a beautiful dappled afternoon and a joyous feeling as we arrive.

Dad starts commenting about the camping ground. "Gee, this is pretty ugly. I thought it'd be bigger." I have memories of this place, perhaps from a previous dream or the terrain was created from a memory of bush land. I think it's absolutely beautiful, but I just talk along with Dad anyway. "It's a bit small I guess", for most of this time my eyes have been glued to the kangaroo, who is still standing around and un-afraid of our presence. To the left, there are two people sitting around some sort of camp-fire, I catch them in my peripheral vision as they stand and say "It's nice once you get used to it". Dad makes a comment about how he could take out the roo with a shotgun, and is now standing at a table where the car was parked, looking at a long box which contained a shotgun.

Memory jumps a little here, but I assume the two people start taking us in to a large wooden cabin. We walk through a door on the left side of the building, the inside is a large hall space. A boy from school I don't often talk to - Max - walks up to me, and the first thing he says to me is "You're dreaming, you know?"
"Oh, I am?" I wasn't quite sure - everything seemed very realistic and I hadn't realised till now the strange dream-like feeling. I could tell before I had RC'd, but I did it anyway, and plugged my nose and breathed in. Awesome!

I turn to him, start rubbing my hands together to stabilise, and with the situation at hand I take the opportunity to ask a question, directed at the dream character but aimed to get an answer from my subconscious, I look him straight in the eyes.
"How come this doesn't happen more often?"
"Huh?"
"How come you don't normally tell me when I'm dreaming?"
"Oh, you know, uh.." He was really unresponsive.
"Is it an effort thing?"
I can't remember if he replied or the dream skipped, but he ended up saying
"You know, where I'm from there's this trick with water-"
and instantly I remembered - Yes! My goals! The ToTM!
"Thank you!"

I start walking backwards out of the building, and think "When I turn around, there will be water." I pictured a lake, or a large, clear puddle behind me. When I turned, there was a few trees in front of a clearing, where there was a murky, muddy puddle. I walked towards it, saying in my head "I am walking to the water" over and over.

I stood infront of the puddle, facing towards the cabin. I stepped, trying to stand on the water and my foot simply planted straight into it. Hm. I tried both feet and failed. I believe I could have tried to lift myself out of the water after having both feet in, but I can't remember it completely and I'm not going to count it as complete. When I was done, I stood infront of the puddle again - this time for the advanced task. I started with water bending - something I've done completely naturally in a lucid dream before - but now I was thinking about it. I try and raise the water in a stream, using my hands to guide it up. It doesn't work, but I somehow make a splash in the puddle, and increase the effort and concentration I'm putting into the telekenesis. The murky water collects into one ball at eye level, gently swirling around while I increase the intensity to gather more water.

People started to gather and I realised I needed to control two elements, and not just water. While holding the ball of water in the air, I focus on the ground and try and raise up the dirt in columns - it doesn't work. Okay, wind! I start yelling, louder and louder as they do in Dragon Ball Z, feeling as I draw in more energy. The last time I did this in a dream I woke up just before I was finished and I didn't want that to happen again so I stopped increasing the volume. Loads of people were standing around me now - one was filming. I could see the wind blowing around me but I couldn't feel it yet - and the dream was starting to fade! I put all my effort in and felt the air rushing forwards against my back - success!

I woke up into a False Awakening, hearing an occasional dull buzzing noise. I presumed it was my phone, and turned to find out I had fallen asleep in bed on IRC with my netbook. I had been added to a private channel with ShockWave, Raspberry and a few new members I didn't recognise - I was also using webchat. I closed the windows and had a sudden panic that the lucid hadn't saved in the word document! (Which I never typed.) I woke up, as I went to check for the document, and started writing the dream out.

I was at some area that looked like my old high school, and someone was coming to get D, J, and I. We all split up, running our separate directions. I want to say what or whoever was chasing us, was closer to me, like any other chase dream, but something happened. Suddenly I had the cape from Super Mario World.



I didn't have a single thought being captured after sprinted, and went air born. I was up in the air about fifty feet, looking down at everything. Slowly I glided back down to the ground, and decided to try it again. I took a few steps and moon jumped into the air, and grabbed on to the corners of my cape. I pointed myself towards the ground, and took a nose dive at the earth. Just at the last second, I leveled out, and my cape was full wind. It threw me back up higher than I had originally started. I even thought about how different this version of flying was compared to my normal lucids, but I don't think I was lucid...I was just enjoying things. I took another nose dive at the ground, and tried to smash it, but I woke up before impact.
