Non-dream Dream Lucid Nightmare Fragments False awakening Early awakening

I'm somewhere, home, or what ever. I'm with my mother and brother. In front of us I have a computer screen. We all have a computer screen in front of us. We are listening to music so loud that my ears hurt. I hear the music very clearly (I dont remember what songs, but it was famous ones, I think it was In flames...).
My mother turns the volume down so our neighbors dont get disturbed. The volume is now down but still pretty loud. She says that the neighbors cant complain now.

I have never heard music this clear in a dream before.

Had my first lucid experience tonight! fuckyeah! It only lasted for a split second, but I'm 100% sure I was momentarily lucid. I got so excited that I woke myself up, unfortunately. It started as a me waking up, but when I moved it felt like I was dragging my spirit out of my body, like I was splitting myself. So I did a breathing RC, and it worked! So I went from a dream into a false awakening into lucidity. Awesome. It felt like an out-of-body experience.

I also had two dreams exciting, vivid dreams tonight. The first was inspired by Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I was trapped in a room filled with water together with someone. Don't know who it was. We had to defend again oncoming waves of small black creatures that tried to get into the room and kill us. This was done by either barring up the entrances to delay them, or kill them. I remember barricading two of the pipes leading into the room, and that I had a handgun. None of the creatures actually got into the room, but I remember that if I killed them and survived the waves, I got cash that I could use to buy weapons and gear from a CS-styled menu.

The other dream was awesome. I was in an old friend of mines place, Anjelina, with a friend of mine and two friends of hers. We were talking and annoying eachother mildly, when one of her friends got bored and went over to me and my friends and took off her top. Her breasts were a bit malformed, like the nipples were flat, and she said that it was due to some disease. The dream then fastforwarded to me getting a haircut, and anjelina coming with me. She let me drive, for some reason. My friend disappeared from the dream at this point. Once I arrived at the salon, which was located near a soccerfield, Anjelina was gone, and I met a friend of hers there that asked if I was attending the lulapalooza tonight. I said that I'd be at Anjelinas place, yeah, and then kept moving. There were a lot of people there. Once I got into the saloon, I got in there at the same time as a crowd of people. We all raced towards the sole stylist, and I got there first. He sighed, and asked me what I wanted. I apparently had to go do something in the basement here in order to get my haircut, but I don't remember much of it.
I then drove back to Anjelina's place, and hung out there for a while. I got a new phone while I was there, and I remember having trouble moving the SIM-card. I then suddenly became aware that something had been stolen from them. I got in a car with anjelina, and a carchase ensued. We eventually recovered the stolen thing (which I THINK was a genetically manipulated child that was explosive, but I'm not sure) and as I was about to get in the car to drive back, they told me to take another car instead. I opened the door to that car, and saw that it had 3 seats in the front. I somehow knew that Anjelina's two friends would ride with me, and that they wouldn't leave me alone during the drive at all, and I sighed heavily about it.

I had this dream I got this "talking" poster and it went right over the middle of my bed and saw two kids who were about 10 years old..one looked like Harry Potter and the other kid looked like Ron Weasly and between the two was an adult who looked kind of like Argus Filch (Hogwarts caretaker?) and kid Harry asked me if the background of the poster was getting dark and I said yes and then the next part is they shut up and then the image changed (but still on the poster) to THE motorcycle (Sirius'' Motorcycle) complete with noise.

I had a terrible night sleep, spent 2 hours trying to wild, gave up and went to sleep, woke up again, fell asleep again, then remembered this epic dream!
I think part of this was in deep dream state, but I don't know how much, it starts blending together after a certain point.

I am boating through a swamp river, heading to some sort of cult initiation process. I arrive at some sort of platform off to the side of the river, there are two guards next to the river, and at the top of a rising pathway, a high ranking member of the cult. they want me to do some sort of task, I walk twords the cult leader, becoming less and less me as my mind starts to slip, but my conciousness remains. I grow to monstrous size and pick up the cult leader and flick him off of his trophy platform



I am about to leave, when I notice the platform is a much higher rank than I thought, and would be very valuble, I put it in my back pocket. the guards, once dispatched, have cheap plastic platforms, I put them in a different pocket, as to sort them, I feel they would be very useful when capturing people.

-dream skip/missing time/something-

I am sitting at my computer, I notice that there is an update for a game. I install the update, and play the game to see what has changed. I am sucked into virtual reality without noticing. I spend a few days interacting with- an intelligent man that tells me several things I don't remember or understand, he surprised me with his intellect. two women that seem to have a thing for me, and often do things I didn't expect, and an eccentric little girl that is very entertaining with her over the top antics.

I am actually somewhat sad that I'm awake now, because It was a lot of fun hanging out with them.

-meshes with the above somehow, don't know exactly-

the demon causes me to become a machete terrorizer, I start attacking people I know in my place of work, I remember trapping people in a room with me, it seems to be covered with cake, at least I hope it was red cake, I would just walk twords them, making threatening movements with my machetes, until I got bored.

-I forgot the above scenario, and became me again-

I am part of an investigation, the police are trying to find the identity of the machete murderer. I make up excuses, equally to myself and the police, about how I couldn't be responsible for the murders, despite a growing mountain of evidence. as the investigation continues, I suddenly regain the memories of the machete rampage I had. I am overcome with guilt and grief, I turn myself in to the officer, who is not surprised of my identity, then I wake up.

Last night I hit dream number 1,000! It's taken 1yr 8mos

Here's my DJ for last night(thousandth dream is noted below) :

7/21-22. 915. With someone who’s a friend in the dream. Area kind of looks like near the area around the Ruby’s on the Pier in Oside. Sunset? Area seems more compact though. See an expensive yellow car that looks kind of like a Lotus. Called a “Cararo” (made up). Comment on it in the style of Jeremy Clarkson. Someone then gives us a PA speaker? Then on freeways. Lots of construction going on and unfinished walls. Can see rebar sticking out of the concrete

Dan Fxxxxx is over at our house. He drives me somewhere. Then back home and it’s Kyle’s birthday. I see 2 fire helmets and they’re for me for some reason

Dave and someone drinking. We’re in some sort of theme park? They’re getting sick from drinking. The one person throws up? Then some people pass and I talk to them?

FA? I’m in my bed. I get up to clean myself and take a shower using the toilet. Mom and dad are then up and help me. I see academy people in the mirror

225. At Theresa’s. The cats are waking up

my memory kicked in outside a school near where I live, I was with a beautiful woman id never seen before. we were both crying cause the rapture was about to happen. there was a big light and I woke up in a random area with my family. we had all died and gone to heaven. it was just a field with an unknown house in the middle, the house could do whatever u thought in your head and I sorta had control of what I was doing and I felt in it rather than rember it when I woke up, but never once thought it was a dream

this dream happened a month or two ago and is the reason I came looking for this site, I dont think I will ever b able to get this dreaam out of my head!

dream
lucid

I am in a classroom with a few people and the instructor, who looks like the 'Horn-rimmed Glasses' character in the TV show Heroes. I have a strong impression of memory, as if I have been in this dream for along time, perhaps many times before, although I can't say for sure now if it is a recurring dream, or if I simply had that impression at the time. I seem to have many memories of this place in the dream. I also have a slight sense of panic that I am enrolled in other classes than this, but have not attended them all semester (this is a recurring theme in my dreams because I have had a similar problem in real life). Additionally, I have a strong feeling that I am in this place as a part of a secret mission, and that I had been secreted away from my home to this exotic location, far away from my family.

Suddenly, I am teaching the class. I am speaking about responsibility, lecturing the students that as the teacher, I am responsible for what happens even when I am not there. If I go to the bathroom and leave a student in charge, I say, and something happens, who is to blame? The students answer that it is the student in charge who is at fault, but I respond- "No, it is still my fault. I am responsible, and putting someone else in a position of temporary authority does not absolve me from blame."

As a lady enters (an obvious authority figure) and begins speaking quietly with HRG (horn-rimmed glasses), I realize that I have been chatting with friends and family on the internet for much of my stay at this place, and they always seemed to be on the same time zone as me, which didn't make sense considering I was supposed to be far away. I take HRG and the lady aside into a hallway and come up with a quick plan. I ask the lady "where are we?" with some gravity, making sure she knew that I was serious about getting the truth. She responds with the name of the location. I can't remember it, and I didn't really pay attention at the time, I was simply making sure we were indeed NOT in America.

I immediately followed with the question "when I have spoken with people online, there seemed to be no time difference. why?" She looks stricken and turns to HRG and says "except the time zone!" The sense I got was that they had realized a mistake- they hadn't completed the illusion fully. She turns to me and says, with similar gravity to my first question- "All I can tell you is, be patient."

Even in the dream, this response gave me chills. I felt like I was under some illusion, perhaps being hidden somewhere while tests were done, or while I was being used for some devious purpose. Regardless, I didn't immediately realize it was a dream, but felt more like I must be in a "dream-like" world.

At this time I stepped outside and marveled at the vividness of the world. I could see people moving about, and an old friend came gliding by- through the air- telling me this was not completely real. I become partially lucid. I still don't realize it is a dream, but I recognize it is NOT the real world, and test this with my usual lucid-test.. I attempt to levitate. I am able to do so, but in fits and starts, as if I am simply not fully lucid.

As I have trouble "flying" around, my friend tells me "but you can RUN anywhere." This prompts me to pump my legs furiously in a running motion through the air, and I do start to "fly" around, but only while pretending to run. Further realizing that this is not real, I kickbox a few people that come near me, but I still apologize profusely to them, afraid that this might be real and not wanting to hurt anyone. This is common for me in lucid dreams. I tend to doubt my lucidity and constantly do things to prove to myself that this is a dream and not real, because of the extreme vividness.

But every apology is met with the response that "that is ok, you can do whatever you want here."

I fly around a courtyard area (same area I entered after speaking with HRG and the lady) and lose lucidity after a short time. I don't remember the rest of the dream. I may have awakened from sleep at this time. Even after waking up, I have a strong sense that what I experienced was REAL and not a dream. I am almost convinced something happened to me, and feel like the tv show LOST, where it is suggested that the island was a place the characters created with their own minds for each other- as a meeting place. It still seems VERY real to me.

It takes me about 20 minutes in the waking world to get over the sensation and realize that it was all- in fact- just a dream, albeit a particularly impactful one. I will pay close attention to my dream log in the future for recurrences, because as I mentioned, I seemed to have deep memories of being in this place. I felt like i had been there for months before I realized I was not in a different time zone from family as I should have been. I continue to get chills when I remember the lady saying to me "All I can tell you is, be patient."

I have had many lucid dreams over the last 10-15 years, but this one was so jarring that it prompted me to seek out a lucid dreaming forum, which led me to this website.

From my friend's POV

It all started in the desert. I remember walking at night, the moon and stars lighting my way. When all of a sudden I saw a figure on the horizon walking through the desert as well. As to whether I approached the figure, or simply blinked to where they were wasnt clear. The next thing I remember was talking to the person. I realized it was my friend Hannah, and when I looked again at the desert we were in, I realized we were in Mexico. Hannah looked how I remember her looking in reality, but i cant recall any details as to what she was wearing. Hannah and I talked for a bit like we do in real life, either that or it was simply an interpretation of our communication. I remember her mentioning the desert we were in, and looking for a specific spot. At this point things were becoming clearer for me and I mentioned the pyramid in Mexico. Her eyes lit up and she wanted me to come with her in search of it. I reminded her it was the wrong day, and that statement didnt seem to make any sense to her. I'm unsure of whether this was simply a dream of mine or an actual dream encounter.

Possible shared dream from my friend, Aston, POV

I'm unsure of whether this was simply a dream of mine or an actual dream encounter.

I dreamed that Dani was having her birthday party at my house. We were scurrying around setting up during the afternoon, before she arrived. Mom saw a piece of paper taped to a wall that said

Denielle (sic)
(someone else's name)

And she said, "I don't like it when people shorten their names. I mean, if Daniel shortened his name, it would be Danny!" I did not appreciate her comments but didn't say anything - I kind of wanted to tell her to be respectful to Dani on her birthday, but decided just to let it slide.

I wanted to make some tea, so I put some water in the microwave, then went to my room to choose a tea bag. The tea bags were on my piano, just like they are in real life, but they were organized differently, kind of scattered, and some were on the floor. I also thought that there were some boxes I didn't remember having, but I was in a hurry, so I didn't think about it. I rationalized it by thinking that mom had been messing around with my tea. I picked a bag and left. When I got back to the kitchen, the water wasn't done boiling, so I wandered off.

I found myself near the front door (I think some time elapsed without me remembering) and suddenly I remembered that I had forgotten about the tea water. I sort of leapt and ran my way through the library (the floor was grass) to get back to the kitchen, but I thought that maybe the water hadn't cooled down too much.

The next thing I remember is sitting down on the floor of the library with Dani and my sister. Dani and I were sitting next to each other, and my sister was left and forwards of me, like this:

Code:

sister>
         ^^dani
      me

Between Dani and I there was an atmosphere of having been through a lot, with a lot of sadness but happiness at knowing each other.

Dani told my sister, "Did you know that Caleb proposed to me on date night?"

Apparently proposing (I think she meant asking out) on 'date night' was a very creative/adventurous thing to do. When she said this, I felt a complex emotion, with pride and sorrow and happiness, and I just kind of looked at the ground in sadness, but Dani was smiling a sad smile. My sister didn't really know what was going on, she was like a zombie or something.

Then we all got up because guests were starting to arrive. Dani went off to greet people, and I went to drink my tea and generally hide from everyone. There were tons of people, at least 150. Everyone was packed really tight. I caught glimpses of Dani walking around.

I stayed until midnight, then I had to go drive my little brother somewhere. We were driving until he said, stop here. I got out and we switched places so he could drive. There were colored plastic round things scattered across the road. It was dark and in a haunted-forest type of environment, but I wasn't scared. He said, I need practice at Rock Band, so go set up the cones. Apparently the little cones were Rock Band icons, and he wanted to drive over them to practice songs. He told me the song he wanted, and I was supposed to walk down the road and arrange the cones for a particular song. I thought, oh no, this is going to take forever. I started arranging the cones. Next thing I knew, I was waking up (in my dream still). I was disoriented, but my brother was there, saying, good job, I got enough practice in. Let's go home now. I was distressed because I had left the party early just so my brother could practice his video game skills.

When we got home, the party was over and everyone was gone. Mom was looking really tired. I asked her how long the party lasted. She said, until 6. I was confused because I thought she meant 6 PM, so I started to say "but--but-" but then I realized she meant 6 in the morning, which really surprised me, because I didn't know that I had been away for 6 hours. I was really upset that I hadn't been able to say goodbye to Dani, but Mom said that Dani had been so tired that she decided to spend the night at our house, so I thought, okay, I will see her when she wakes up. I started to help Mom clean up.

When I walked into the kitchen, there was one of those electronic picture frames that shows a slideshow. It was full of pictures from the party. I was very grateful that Mom had taken pictures. Watching the slideshow, everyone's hair was funny, so I realized that they had played some kind of crazy hair game where whoever had the craziest hairdo won. I wanted to see Dani in the slideshow but she wasn't in it. My brother was in there twice, which made me mad because he had been driving with me, keeping me away from the party, and he had actually been at the party, at the same time. I didn't understand how he did it, so I got mad. In one picture, he had a really big long-haired black wig, and the other picture was a video clip of him eating all the party food in fast-motion. There was also a picture of my sister with a really weird hairdo.

I went around the picture frame, which was sitting on the island in the kitchen, and started throwing away plates.

One of the weirdest dreams I've ever had. When I woke up from this dream, I wrote a VERY extensive entry into my hand-written DJ so I wouldn't forget ANYTHING.

My girlfriend and I break up. We aren't currently anywhere, all I can see is my phone. Eden (my girlfriend) sends me a text saying "Hey, I think we should break up, it's just not working." I send back, "We should meet at the school and talk about this."
Skip
Eden and I are texting each other, even though we're sitting right next to one another. This is something we have done in real life, when we first started dating. It's unclear to me what the texts say. We're sitting in the school atrium on a 3 level bench, which is absolutely NOTHING like the school I actually go to.

The ground and walls are made up of very gritty, very dark, and very smooth marble. The darkness of it, almost seemed to suck in 90% of the light that was pouring in from the ceiling windows and the doors. It made the room very dark and gloomy, which brought my mood down a bit. Although my girlfriend just dumped me, I'm still quite normal. I'm not sad and I'm not happy, but I'm somewhere in-between. So, me and Eden are texting, and I don't know if it was the text, or the school, but I suddenly become Lucid. I performed a reality check, plugged my nose, and stopped there. It was the first successful reality check I'd had all night that didn't wake me up or change the dream dramatically. Needless to say, I. Was. Ecstatic. So my phone disappears, and I start talking to Eden.

I don't remember what we talked about, but it lead to us making out on the bench. This was no surprise, because me and Eden have made out in public before. By now, a few people have come and gone. They talked to us about "Straight-Leg Disease" which I have no idea where that came from, but it's in my dream...so it must be significant somehow? Anyways, things are heating up quite nicely between me and her, and then her friend Beatrice walks into the room. She's wearing black spandex shorts which don't cover enough of her legs, and a shirt that has a see-through netting in front, and black cloth covering her sides and back. You could easily see her breasts, although they looked like man-boobs. She was fairly overweight. Beatrice says she has straight-leg disease and that it's horrible.

Eden tells her that she and I have talked to a few boys who had straight-leg disease, and Beatrice yells, "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! The way you get straight-leg disease from being punched in the butt!" I remember questioning the sexuality of the guys that had come and gone. I tried to kiss Eden, but she took my phone from me and went into the bathroom with her friend. (Straight-leg disease makes it very difficult and very painful to urinate, in my dream. I don't know if it's a real thing or not.) I went into the men's bathroom and the first thing I noticed was that it was very high tech. I walked into the urinal, and it was very disgusting.

There was pee on the ground, and I was in my socks. I sleep with my socks on, and usually go to the bathroom as soon as I wake up, so I think that's why I was in my socks. I had trouble with the lock, it seemed to take a lot of effort to get it to slide and lock. I eventually got it, and proceeded to do my business, trying to figure out all the different buttons. When I got done, the toilet flushed itself. I had no trouble with the lock as I went out, and washed my hands. The water felt like my blanket that I lay over my comforter. This makes me wonder if I actually did the motions of washing my hands in my blanket. From here, I lost all lucidity for the rest of the dream. I went to look under the stalls (habit of mine, to make sure rapists aren't hiding, however I usually look before I do my business.) and somehow I could see through the stalls. Only when I bent down, though.

I could see some Mexicans at the end stall, one was just sitting on the toilet. He came out and washed his hands in the sink next to me. I squinted my eyes and with a raspy Spanish accent, said "Sup esse." and nodded my head. He laughed and said "Hey." and I left the bathroom. When I went back to the bench, Eden wasn't there. Instead, 4 or 5 celebrities were there, talking on their cell phones and looking at clothing. One of them had my phone, and gave it to me, which was vibrating. I woke up to my phone vibrating, my friend had texted me.

Date: Thursday July 21 2011, 6:22 AM

My first lucid dream! I was sitting in a living room and was watching the news there was a lady talking about how the temperature was very cold this morning because of frontline winds that cooled the area. Then she talked about ongoing wild fires that struck the area. It seemed as though I lived in the Arizona area but when I was watching the news, they shown a map of the wildfires on the state of California and then shown some wildfires in the state or Illinois but it was on the left of missouri where Kansas should be. I knew immediately that this wasn't possible so I pinched my nose to see if I can breathe through it and after I did the reality check and knew I was dreaming. I was lucid for about three seconds. The feeling was extremely weird. As though I began melting through the bed and then I was aware of my breathing and then I can feel my heart rate accelerate. I began to feel exited and then woke up. (I think the reason why I was getting feelings of my physical body is because after I did the reality check, I told myself in the dream that this is a dream and I'm lying in bed right now. I soon got an image of me lying in bed but I think I was beginning to focus on my body and I think that's the cause of breath awareness and the accelerated heart rate) When I woke up I didn't move at all, then I immediately went back to a dream but I think I was non-lucid this time. I'm not sure. I started off on this island where there were blocked shaped sheep and I was surrounded by blocked shaped bushes. Sorta like the game Minecraft. Then the thought came from nowhere about flying So I tried my first attempt at flying and jumped in the air. That was a fail. I tried running and began to levitate and soon I was able to somewhat fly. I wasn't that good because it was my first try. I can remember myself falling back into this field of water not sinking through. I was flying so fast I could walk on water for a brief time so I can catch the air and begin flying again. Then after the flight I crashed landed onto this parking lot area. Where this car approached me. I stopped it and asked the driver if he was Jesus. He said no and I told him to get out the car. He pulled out what he said was a magic wand but it looked like it was twisted from an iron hanger. For some reason I felt evil and wanted to make mockery of him. So I begin to threaten him and told him I didnt need the wand. He began to go into a defensive state and I snapped my fingers to paralyze his legs and arms while standing. (at this point I started to loose lucidity) I couldn't control myself and was telling him I was gonna spawn my buddy to take care of the job. I remember saying it was a monkey. When I was about to call his name, my alarm clock woke me up and I was disassociated from the dream this time and had to get up. Well I can say that this was a good experience for the first time lucid dream.

NON DREAM DREAM LUCID

A friend and I had decided to sign up for the Food Network show Chopped, which is like an elmination every week reality show for cooking. We both get onto the show and are very happy. Me and my friend (H) get on the bus, which will take us to the set of the show. H and I sit down, and we're surrounded by other contestants. We try to socialize with them, and found one girl to be really nice. I don't really remember much of her, who she was, or what she said, except that she had a very narrow face, olive skin, and dark brown wavy hair with bangs that covered a lot of her face. I remember looking at a brochure for Australia, which led me to realize that these contestants came from all over the world to compete on this show. Finally, the bus arrives at it's destination. H and I get off with all the other people to find us standing in a mostly empty parking lot. We see the hosts, but I don't really remember them too well. I'm standing there and listening as we are assigned our first challenge, when I suddenly come to horrifying realization.

I can't cook. In real life, I can make ice, and that's pretty much it. Even when it comes to simple things like trying to cook Kraft macaroni, I end up failing. Both times I tried to make it, I ended up making people sick...oops. Anyways, so that's when I come to the not so horrifying realization that I'm dreaming, thus making me lucid. Yay!

So, I ditch Chopped. I remember the other contestants mocking me and jeering at me for being such a baby and backing out before the show even started, but I ignore them.

Suddenly, I am somehow transported to a very modern looking mansion type office building. I see random DCs walking around, but I ignore them, too. I have a goal in mind. I find my friend N walking around, and I approach her. I ask, "Have you seen Arthur anywhere?" referring to my absolute favorite character from Inception, as portrayed by one of my favorite actors, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I figured that if I ask someone where he is, implying that I already know he's here, I'll be able to find him. Other methods, like trying to make people appear by summoning them with mind power, never work outs for me.

N says, "Yeah, I know he's around here somewhere. Just keep running down the halls and turn the corner, you should find him." We both set off running down a hallway, and right before we turn the corner, and outstretch my arms, because I really wanna give Arthur a hug. (Don't judge, I'm a huge JGL fangirl, ok?) But instead, to my dismay, I turn the corner to find my old 7th grade English teacher wearing footsie pajamas. That image will never be erased. I keep running down that hallway, once more outstretching my arms. When I turn the next corner, I instead find my Grandma running towards us. As horrible as it makes me sound, I don't feel like hugging my grandma, so I disappointingly put my arms down again. I ask N, "Do these hallways just keep going and going?" and she replies, "Yep, pretty much."

Eventually and thankfully, though, I somehow manage to get out of the constant hallways, and I'm standing in this hotel-looking lobby. I enter a doorway, in which I find myself standing in a HUGE ballroom place, FILLED with people. I automatically know that these people are all celebrities, and if I'm going to find Arthur/JGL anywhere, it'll be here. I see a set of modern looking stairs that lead up to a platform, so I run up to get a good view of the crowd. It's obviously a very formal event, because all the men are wearing tuxedos, and every single woman is wearing a fancy, sparkly black dress. They're all talking and mingling very loudly.

Wanting to get their attention, I as loudly as I can yell out, "HEY! EVERYBODY QUIET!". It actually worked, and everyone turned up to look at me. "I'm looking for Joseph Gordon-Levitt," I shouted. Suddenly, I notice a figure beginning to walk away, only to be pushed back in place by a random group of people. It's JGL! Yay!

He begins walking again, towards the exit, wearing a rather awkward smile on his face. He obviously doesn't want to be here.

Oh, and he had facial hair. Don't know why that's important, it just is.

Anyways, my mom suddenly is standing by me, and she says, "Well? Go on and catch him!" I run down from the platform and down the stairs, chasing after him. He begins to run faster. Now we're out in the lobby. He still has that weird smile on his face, which was starting to get creepy. He sat down on a couch in the lobby, and he looked slightly upset. (Still smiling, though. Don't know how he managed that.) I found a random drink kiosk and decide it would be smart to buy him a beer, which cost $7. Geez. But he refused to take it. And he wasn't saying anything, so matter how much persisting and prodding I did. Man, he was stubborn.

Then, I "wake up." That's right, folks, I'm now in some sort of a false awakening. Except, in this "reality", I'm sitting on the same couch that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was just sitting on, and I'm hugging a water bottle. My best friend H is there, and she laughs at me for falling asleep in such a position. I tell her about the dream that I just had.

Then I actually wake up. But, being the lazy teenager that I am, I went back to sleep, even though it was probably already noon. Oh well.

I'm thrown straight into lucidity. This time, I'm in this strange indoor pool place, with lots of walls that you have to climb over to get to the pools. There are lots of scattered pools that are dark and murky, but I swim in them nonetheless. I remember swimming in this one pool, doing lots of spins underwater. I heard some man say, "Huh, I guess the water's not toxic, then." I'm pretty sure he was the manager of the place.

I get out of the water, and lo and behold, sitting on a couch by the edge of the pool, is Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Also, to my surprise, I had transformed into and older version of myself and I looked completely different. Usually in lucid dreams I have lots of difficulty changing my appearance, but this time, I didn't even try. I looked just like Sarah Roemer, an actress from a show I used to watch called The Event. Hmm, random.

Anyways, I walk up to JGL, who I know is supposed to be Arthur. He looks extremely depressed and lonely, and I automatically feel really bad for him. I guess I'm supposed to be his best friend, so I decide to go sit next to him. Turns out he has to apply for this design school and to do that, he needs to fill out an information card about him. He's too upset for whatever reason to fill it out himself, so I offer to do it for him. He gratefully accepts my offer.

I notice he has a picture with him. It's a picture of a little girl and a little boy dressed in their Halloween costumes, with the little girl dressed as a princess and the boy as a pirate. I realize it's supposed to be the both of us, and discover that I'm not his best friend...I'm his little sister.

Crap.

I still have to fill out the info card, but I pretty much know nothing about him. Inception doesn't tell you much about our dear Arthur. But what kind of sister doesn't know these basic facts about their big brother? I really wanna play the part, though, so I stay cool. Eventually, there's a part on the card where I have to put down his age. Problem is, I don't know his age. I jokingly ask, "How old are you?" as if I was just messing around. He looks rather annoyed and answers very sarcastically, "Nine." He wasn't giving me a real answer. I put down '9' on the card...then he looks at me like I was crazy. "Why are you putting that down? I wasn't being serious. Put a '2' in front of that nine." I do, and say, "So...29?". He gives me a look that says, "Duh."

Then he starts shaking his head and says, "Can we just skip to the 'About Me' part? I'm getting tired of this." I do, and ask what he wants me to right. He shrugs, and mumbles "I don't know." I sigh. Obviously, Arthur here isn't gonna be very cooperative.

Somehow, we both get transferred to some school where he is giving a presentation on design to some kids. But, he's still really depressed. After the presentation, he just sits down in a chair, frowning, and he's not talking again. Perfect.

All the kids, who I realize are kids that I go to school with, start clapping for him, including me. Hey, I'm not gonna be an un-supportive sister. Then, the kids walk up to him and start trying to make him move, by waving in his face and stuff. He's not having it, though. He looks pretty spaced out. I catch of glimpse of his face through the mob of kids around him, and you can just see the pain and sadness in his eyes. It was pretty intense.

Now I'm not Sarah Roemer anymore. I'm my regular self. I realize one of my best friends J is standing next to me. She asks, "Wait, why is he so upset and stuff?" I just shrug and say, "I don't know. I'll just ask him on the car ride home." She nods at this apparently perfectly acceptable answer.

One girl I know, M, starts poking her finger in his face. Then...he sneezes on her, causing everyone to start cracking up, and, guess what! He actually smiled! So much for the seriousness of the dream. Oh well.

I'm transferred to another part of my dream, and I'm no longer lucid. Sad, sad. Anyways, I guess I'm at school, but it's my old elementary school. Class is about to start, but I could not for the life of me find my locker or remember my next class. I was completely confused. I start walking down the hallway towards a random classroom, where I find a teacher who I vaguely recognize. She asks me to help her with some classroom chores, and I comply. When I try to explain to her that I can't remember my next class, she ignores me.

Then, the assistant principal walks up and stands in the doorway. I try to tell him that I don't know where I'm supposed to go, but he just says, "Oh, that's too bad," in a kind of joking manner. Which I can totally picture him doing in real life, by the way.

The dragon has risen from its slumber. I wake up, completely intrigued by the awesome dream I just had. When I think back to that last little part of the dream, I keep picturing Rebecca Black, so I'm pretty sure she was somehow involved. God, I hope she wasn't singing.

Also, on a side note, I feel very achieved. I've transformed my appearance, hung out with a celebrity, and lucid dreamt somewhere other than my house, which were all personal dream goals of mine. All in all, it was a definite success. Yay!

WILD/FA/DILD

This dream occurred during a nap. It started when I woke up and was able to WILD. It includes multiple battle scenes, but because the dream is so long, I am missing pieces. For the initial WILD, I had a strong butterfly feeling in my stomach as I entered the dream.

After I felt my stomach drop, I did the nose RC and I had successfully WILDed. I stood up from my bed but the room was dark and fuzzy. I spun around like 4 times and rubbed my hands together. This did not clear up my vision. As I stumble out the door, I lose the dream and have an FA.

I "woke up" in my bed with two girls in the room. They were apparently my friends and one may have been SW. I told them I just had a lucid dream and we started talking about it. We thought it would be cool if we could all become lucid and try playing instruments together in a dream. I lay back down in my dream bed and attempt another WILD.

I sat up in the same bed with the girls there. I did an RC and I was dreaming. So I try to play an instrument like we planned earlier. I chose a saxophone but it looked like a lot of work to assemble, and it seemed like a waste of lucid time so I left the room.

There is a large gap in my memory here. I think I lost the dream soon after and FAed once or twice. I believe I tried a few sexual endeavors. I remember I was hanging with a group of bandit type people and probably fighting. This is where the memorable stuff starts.

Something bad happens with my team of DCs. We were trying to accomplish some goal and failed. The leader of the group looks like an Indiana Jones type character. He said we have to go deeper into the dream; it was the only way. Despite the Inception reference, our goal was to take down the server, like in the matrix. I realize that I am still dreaming and I am facing a giant metal cylinder and I peer down into it. There is only white abyss. Im not afraid of death, and the leader thought it was the right idea. We all leap into the tube (probably 15 ft in diameter) and land in this hallway with metal walls. A lone stormtrooper is standing at the end of the hallway and the leader incapacitates him somehow. I say "secure the blast doors" just because I thought it was a funny Star Wars line to say. And then I heard a stormtrooper voice say the same thing. We run forward to engage more troopers.

I split off from the group and enter a room with a few stormtroopers and many big metal boxes just sitting in the middle of the room. As soon as I see the first trooper I use a force push. He falls back like 10 ft. and stays down. I look at another and I shoot a web spiderman style right at his face. I retract the web so he is thrust toward me. I grab him and use him as a human shield as I reach into my pocket. I expect to pull out a handgun and dig for 3 seconds until I feel the right shape. I pull it out, jam in a clip, and shoot over the troopers shoulder at another. I only have like 5 shots before I run out. I drop the gun and charge another trooper. I punched him once in the face and he went down. (Im not sure what happened to the trooper I was using as a human shield. He may have just fell down.) I rejoin my team and we push forward. I lose the dream soon after.

I have another FA and I wake up somewhere that is not my house. I needed to drive back home, but I was still very tired. I was trying to drive with my eyes barely able to stay open. It seems pretty dangerous so I pull over. My buddy SC comes up on a bike and I grab one and start riding with him. After a few minutes I was tired and complaining about the bike ride. I was like, "this sucks, I bet im dreaming and I dont even have to do this." Not really expecting it to work, I perform an RC and it does. I double check and I am dreaming.

I tried to show SC that I was dreaming by making a DC levitate. I point out my hand and try some telekinesis. Although telekinesis is one of my most consistent lucid abilities, it didnt work. The DC only looked up as I tried to make her float. We enter a bar in a small courtyard area. There are only guys in the bar when I walk in. Two people are slouching in chairs. We go up to them and they seem pretty hostile. I decide to fight for my dignity. However, there was just a lot of failed control moments. I try many of the same moves as with the stormtroopers but they arent as effective. I decide to pull out another gun, but it jams or something. And it turns out he has a bigger one. I was able to land a few good blows on one, but I was disappointed for being lucid and him only being a DC. Despite this, he was impressed and let us chill at the bar. It seemed to be some sort of test for toughness and I passed. He introduces me to the bartender and I find a girl that I start fooling around with. I soon wake up

I had full control in these dreams but did not realize I was dreaming.

Most memerable
It was a brilliant star lit night and had gone out from from my parents apartment to see my cousins who were sitting in my grandparents RV. I discussed with them whether or not we should drive away but decided not too because we could get in trouble. I suddenly lifted off the ground and watched as the RV grew smaller and the rest of the neighborhood revealed itself. I circled about my house and flew just above and between some trees above the road.
I kept circling back and around the whole town. It was absolutely awesome to see what it all looked like from above.

Recurring flying dreams
There was a tall grassy field on the hill near our apartment that we used to play in all the time. At night I often dreamed that I would take off flying at that field or from right outside my apartment. I would always kind of lean forward and lift myself into the air. As I got higher I would float around and gain speed. If I was on a roll I could fly very far and high. I was so convinced that I had actually flown that I tried to fly in waking life... It didn't work even though I had flown before!!! It was then that it occurred to me that I had only flown in dreams.
