memorable

1. I'm looking after a classroom of children, but we are not in a classroom. Two of the boys get in a fight, and the smaller, scrawnier one ends up on top with his foot on the other boy's neck. He is stepping down as hard as he can, and I realize that he is trying to kill him. I am shocked at this behavior from such young children. I break up the fight, and I grab the scrawny boy and push him into the hallway. I scold him furiously but he seems to have no remorse for his actions. His head is covered by a tightly fitting glass dome.

2. I'm looking at this magical board that is covered in numbers. I have to find the right numbers for a certain task. I am inside some sort of strange shop. I get the feeling that I work here. There is another woman nearby, and I think that she works in the shop as well. She reaches for something on one of the shelves, and pulls off another board like the one I am using. I try to warn her against using that board, because I remember that bad things have happened to others who have used it. Before I can fully explain to her the dangers, she passes out and hits the floor with a sickening thud. I run over to her and see that there is blood seeping from her ear.

3. I'm skateboarding around town, and for once I can actually stay on the board.

4. I'm lying on a floor, unable to get up or speak. There is a dream character standing over me, and he keeps saying things about how he wants to save me. I get the feeling that I am dead or dying, and that is why I am unable to communicate. The dream character says he wants to give me a healthy perspective on life and fix all the distortions in my thinking. He leans closer to me, and I notice that there is some words or symbols tattooed on his chest that have started to glow. They glow brighter and brighter as he comes closer to me until everything disappears in a flash of white.

Lucid = Orange

So, after my success at remembering a dream I nearly almost completely forgot (and bits from the dream before, but not enough to be able to write it down) I decided to try my luck with another WILD. In terms of time from the point of waking up to deciding to throw in the towel, that lasted 2 hours.
HOWEVER, this wasn't a complete failure! I had reached a VERY different state of consciousness, and I feel as if I entered a deeper state of SP than usual, so CLEARLY I'm getting somewhere! This knowledge armed me with absolute positivity, and I'm certain it was the key to my success this morning.

After lying awake for ages trying to get back to sleep, I suddenly found myself in a dream completely lucid and aware of the fact I was dreaming. My recollection of my lucid experiences are kinda vague, and I'm not sure which one came 1st and 2nd, but I shall record what I can:

(NOTE: I haven't had a lucid dream for a week and a half, and have only had 3 since my interest arose.)

I'm talking to some guy. He asks me a question but I can barely talk so I just shake my head. He doesn't approve of my answer so he hits me. I then think to myself ''Hey, what was that for?! Oh, wait... I've heard about this kinda thing before. Better get myself outta this place quick before he takes away my lucidity!'' So I jumped with the intentions of flying away, and found myself ascending, so I flapped my wings a bit and thought ''UP!'' and hey, I found myself high in the sky. ''WOO!!'' I thought to myself, and started randomly flying away, noting the fact I was EXTREMELY high and that I'm scared of heights. It scared me a little, but I knew I was dreaming so I was in control. After a while it was too much for me though, so I slowed myself down and tried to land. I started 'falling' to the ground quite fast though, so I was a little worried of what would happen. Surprisingly, I landed 'oh so softly'. I then started walking around and eventually lost lucidity.

Upon waking up, I knew I could go straight back into another dream, and I did so pretty much effortlessly:

I was now in a people-carrier with my friend Louie, some other guy I knew, and random people. Upon seeing Louie I was like ''DUDE!! I haven't seen you in ages man! How's it going? How's the weed?'' He said he was good and that he had stopped. I was like ''Good man! Same here, actually.'' Then the 'other guy' asked me how my education (college) was going. I told him ''It was going really well, until we got a week off 'cause of half term, and I then became lazy and did nothing. Since then, I haven't really been able to pick it back up.''
I can't remember what happened next (if anything at all), but the dream then went to black. HOWEVER, I was adamant that I WOULDN'T let another lucid success go this early. I could see the slightest smidge of HI (I was awake at this point, I think, but I was totally unconscious of my body) held on to that slight image, and brought myself back into another dream.

I found myself in a random house, lying next to somebody's bed on the floor. There was a man in it with glasses but I can't remember if I talked to him or not. I then thought to myself ''Hmm. What about a bit of lucid sex? I'll turn a corner and hopefully see Laura (this hawt as girl in the year above me at school) standing there if I believe it enough.
Anyway, I got up, went out of the room and into a hallway. It was night time. There was some kid walking up and down the hallway holding a smaller child in his arms, and loads of doors either side of me. I thought to myself ''This house is huge. It must be some sort of foster care home like in Tracy Beaker or w/e'' I then decided to explore this place a bit and turned a corner. More doors. So, I went through a door expecting to see Laura. There was a small girl (aged 8-10 maybe) sitting on her bed watching TV. I thought ''No man. Just no.'' and went out the room, back down the hallway and saw that same kid again holding the smaller kid in his arms (he looked sad. I wondered what had happened to both of them), turned a corner and hoped for the best. No luck. So I ventured more around this strange place hoping to see her around every corner. Still nothing. Then I woke up.

Now, I know more than this happened because I remember more people and more places, however, I really can't remember it well. In any case, I'm VERY proud of myself for doubling my lucid count in one morning!

Note: I must be getting better at dream recall/recognising when I've just finished a REM period, because if it weren't for the fact I clicked to the detail at the end of this entry, I would have forgotten the entire thing.

I'm in Poundland (with a random school class, it would seem) on the second floor (which doesn't actually exist, but hey). We're all sitting around random tills in groups packaging (what I think was) some sort of pasta (which was crunchy but not ridiculously hard).
Anywhoo, we're (my group) all going about doing our own thing and generally messing around (as per most of my school days) and eating from this massive pile of 'pasta' that's on the till in front of us. There's some stuck up girl on the till next to us (who needs to go die in a hole) laughing at my face, too (yeah, I got A LOT of abuse during school).
Class ends. We're all free to leave for lunch, so I stuff my pockets with this pasta stuff and walk out with 2 of my best mates Axl and Callum. There's music playing and it's ridiculously loud so we have to yell to communicate with each other. As we're going downstairs I ask Axl what we have next but he's unsure (I think the music fades out too, or gets quieter at least), so Callum steps in and tells us we have R.S next. Axl says ''Good work Callum.'' I then think to myself ''Oh, sweet. That's pretty much a free lesson then since we do nothing anyway? I know, I'll buy some sweets for it since we're in Poundland!'' So me and Callum head towards the sweets at the front of the store (Axl's randomly disappeared), and I'm looking at the random bits near the tills, and pick out something, then look at these shelves nearby. The sweets are too high up for me so I ask Callum to give me a hand but instead he goes ''Aww, look at this!'' and he's holding a 'World of Warcraft: Cataclysm' CD in his hand which he found on the shelf below what I'm after. I only have a £10 gift voucher though and it's £15, so I tell him I can't afford it (plus I can't afford the subscription currently, which I remembered in my dream).
He then starts looking at the Xbox's on the same shelf (which, for some reason, are PS1's? Although at the time we think they're Xbox's) there was 3 types: The classic grey one, a typical camo skinned one, and a black camo skinned one (the black one being the newest, most advanced one, like in real life). Then he starts looking at the controllers and manages to break one, laughing and showing me the buttons, which he quickly hides.
At this point I'm getting annoyed because I originally just wanted a lift up so I tell him ''C'mon man give me a lift!'', to which he agrees to and I grab 2/3 bags of sweets. I'm thinking at the time that this is going to be over £5 but the guy at the till nearest to us read my thoughts and told me that it was only £3 something (£3.20 I think). He was quite friendly actually, and started talking to me, so I communed back, saying ''Really?! I might as well spend a fiver then! Spending a fiver is always good.'' he agreed totally and I then started thinking what I would buy next. To get a better view of a store, I decided to climb up a stock cage, however, I got my left boot stuck. I ignored it and then spotted the items of my choice: chocolate. I then had to ask Callum to help me get down. Once I had successfully got down, I handed him a square of chocolate (which I had just randomly spawned for no apparent reason?) and he ate it.
We then go to the isle (which was right next to the cage, funnily enough) and I'm like ''Dude, what should we get?'' he just stands there smiling and doesn't answer. So I ask him again ''Dude?!'' Still no answer.

Then I realise everything is black. I'm lying in my bed with my eyes closed (haven't moved at all upon waking up, and totally unaware of my venture through Poundland) thinking ''Hey, I'm awake? WAIT. That means I just finished a REM cycle! What did I dream about?!'' Then everything came to my remembrance, and I decided to write it down.

Friday 25th March 2011
Myself and many others were trapped in a huge, dark, cold room. That room was surrounded by trees which loomed over the surrounding area, making it look barren and dark. There were so many of these trees that we were effectively trapped inside; so this meant that we had to make our escape by taking down one of the trees.

However, there was something different about these trees: they were explosive. All except one of them, it seemed. And to our dismay, we didn't know which one to pick. The police warned us that if we cut into the wrong tree with an axe or a saw, it would cause a nuclear explosion that would surely kill us all. (The police donned an 1950s type uniform.) Despite this, the group of policemen went out to see if they could find the right tree and cut it down.

In the mean time, we all knelt down in the ground and held hands with one another, tears streaming down our cheeks. Grim cries of "I'm going to die!" and "I don't want to die" resounding throughout the room that we thought would surely be our grave site.

Suddenly, a policeman jumped into the room from what appeared to be a huge hole in the wall, telling us that they'd managed to cut down the right tree. We walked outside, and saw an opening where the tree had once been. Simultaneously, a smile graced each and every one of our faces and we left with our lives.

This was the first lucid dream experience where I didn't have to do reality checks, I passed out and bam I knew right at the start I was dreaming.

Before I went to bed I took 10mg of melatonin. Earlier in the week I decided to start chewing the pills a little bit before swallowing them so they would process faster. It definitely works. So Im dreaming, Im in this old wooden building opening the front door to get outside. There was a woman with me that wasn't familiar. I proceeded down these wooden steps and proceeded to walk under this big bridge passing over a river. It reminded me of the Hudson river. While under the bridge it started to rain, but i wanted it to snow. So i focused really had and got it to snow under the bridge. it was very cool i can remember the cold feeling especially. Then these stereotypical thug looking guys ran at me and the girl, they were attacking her. Not really knowing what to do I imagined a gun in my hand and I felt the thing grow into my hand, very strange feeling. but its like i didnt finish imagining it, the thing wouldnt shoot. So i bailed in panic and jumped into the river swimming away. then I woke up. Im going to keep breaking up the melatonin before i ingest it to see what happens.

Justice League
This was an unusual dream. It seemed to play out like three movie trailers for a trilogy. At times I seemed to be the character of Batman. At others, I was just watching like a movie. Obviously, you comic book fans will notice that there's many illogical cross-overs between Marvel and DC and the actual membership of the Justice League. But that's how dreams are.

The first part of the dream is "Hulk vs Batman". I am Batman and I've arrived on an island which I intuitively think is Cuba. The Hulk owns a big mansion estate on the island. Something has happened on the island that has killed all the people and turned all the animals into rabid monsters. Batman arrives at Hulk's mansion. It has a wall around it to keep out the animals. Batman takes a room and lives there for a while.

The second part is "Hulk and Iceman vs Batman". We are all still in the mansion in Cuba. Iceman moves in and becomes a close confidant of Hulk. They become suspicious of Batman and want him to leave the mansion. Then things get weird. The characters of Hulk and Iceman blend into one character who is big like the Hulk but blue and covered with big sharp ice crystals. Meanwhile, the owner of the mansion starts to be more like Spider-Man and then Superman. My unconscious mind is trying to makes sense of these shifting images and I intuitively decide, especially with Superman and Batman in the same group, that this should be the Justice League.

The last third part is "The Justice League vs Batman." Now it's definitely Superman who owns the mansion with his loyal Hulk/Iceman friend. I am Batman and I am walking through the halls of the mansion looking for Superman and wondering where the other Justice League members are, in particular The Flash and Martian Manhunter. I watch as a woman gets trapped in a revolving door and as it spins, she becomes the character of Black Widow, but actually I think I was picturing The White Queen (neither of which are part of the Justice League or even DC, but whatever). Then I see that Superman has a wife who lives at the mansion and I expect that it will be revealed that she is Wonder Woman.

okayyyy great recall last night! nonlucids
any color except black=dream Lucid

dream 1: I find myself at an outdoor Skillet concert. John, Korey, and Jen were onstage. It is midday and it is very hot. I am on the right side of the crowd, near the front. John stands in the middle, Korey on the left, and Jen in back. Ben is no where to be seen. The concert is over very soon and I appear in their tour bus.
It is very large on the inside, almost like a condo, and I talk to Korey. I don't remeber what we said. Jen comes in wearing a short-sleeved gray shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes. She sits next to Korey and me on the peach colored couch and we talk.
(Time skip)
John is standing next to a mirror and he is fixing his hair. I tell him,"You should do that mohawk thing." he looks at me and shrugs.
(fuzziness)
I finally find Ben and I go over to him. I find that I am almost as tall as him. He has bangs that sweep down the right side of his face. I rub the top of his head to mess up his hair and he asks me why. I shrug and walk away. I find John and Korey's kids, Alex and Xavier. We play a little bit in a tiny playhouse like thing. They look older then they really are.
(fuzziness)
I look around for Ben and Jen and I find them sitting on the couch. I think to myself It'd be cute if they'd kiss. or something similar. Ben and Jen are talking, too low for me to hear. Jen leans on Ben's shoulder and sighs. Ben puts an arm around her and sighs also. He is wearing a vest, tie, normal jeans, and some sort of shoes. His hair is still kinda boring looking. Jen looks up and they lean with their lips VERY close to each other: like this [---------------] far apart. Jen gets this *woah* look in her eyes and they kiss each other, a little passionate.
(time skip)
I am talking to Jen. Korey walks up and smiles at her. Ben is staring out the window like he can't believe what happened, and John is drinking Dr. Pepper like always. By the way, John took my advice and did the little mohawk thing.
I WOKE UP THEN AT 3AM


DREAM2: I arrive at home to find the carpet and walls covered in orange paint. I know that I can't touch the paint so I leap really far and barely miss the paint. I go to my room and find my grandma sitting at my computer desk. I find that I feel really tired and can hardly move or focus on anything. My grandmother hands me a headset and I think it is cool.
(fuzzieness)
I watch my mom try to hook te headset up to the internet so I can video chat and voice chat with people online. She looks confused and I now find that I cannot open my left eye. I don't freak out. I feel tired again and it feels like everything is "carnival mirror" like. I look around in confusion and shrug.
(more fuzzy)
I am in the dining room and my mom has a bunch of stuff on the table. It is just a bunch of old toys that my grandma used to use. I grumble and walk away in boredom. My sister and brother are in their room and I say hi then walk away. I feel sooo tired and everything is fuzzy and unclear. I still cannot open my left eye. I am irritated.
I WAKE UP AT 12NOON

notes:
Yup, my major dream sign is hanging out with Skillet
I think another one is feeling tired and/or not being able to open my left eye

I was waiting in line or something trying to register myself as a character for the LD Video Game.

--

I was back at school in a class with my head on the desk. I was asleep. I knew I had to wake up to get to my own class. I was already late, so I made myself wake up. I was scared about getting into my class late.

I got up and as I walked out, I looked at the teacher. She didn't look at me. As I looked for my class, I said hi to an old acquaintance by his last name "Zski" (though I used his complete last name). I said hello to an old teacher "Mrs. Jpe" (used real last name), and I gave her a hug. I saw an old friend "Swn Tnnt." I was nervous that I couldn't find my class room. What was I, stupid?

The End
--

I was walking along outside when I saw a large trash can--the type supplied by trash companies.

The lid was open and there was a girl about 5 yrs old, and two babies in the trash. They were sleeping--kind of. I was terrified for them. Someone with me stood up inside the trash can.

I told the DC to be careful a few times, but he/she kept almost stepping on the head of one of the babies. Finally they weren't standing in the trash can anymore.

I asked the girl who was the care taker of the babies if they wouldn't rather just sleep outside in nature, but I realized that that could be dangerous

I was thinking about helping them somehow. Then there were only two girls and they were older now. One took off her pants the way entertainers do with special pants designed to come completely away by ripping them off. Both were cute.

Then I was with my brother I think. He climbed into the back of a pup-truck and I followed. I told him he shouldn't sit on the tail gate, but he wouldn't listen. I don't really know where we were going.

The End

Around 4:36 in the morning I was trying to fall asleep after being awoken from a nightmare. As I try to fall to sleep, I see a scene forming in front of me in Gray and Black. I keep turning over to get it to go away as I see where I left off in my nightmare.

Starting to experiment, I waited through it and made my imaginary bedroom. It started off dark with only me seeing a little circle of sight. I am struggling to gain control as my body yanks around (In the dream) and I lie on my dream bed.

Next thing I know is me standing next to my bedroom windows in full control, with amazing colors of pink and orange coming through my window. I was swimming through clear, white water. The experience was unexplainable as it felt so real, to real to be coming out of the water.

My longest and most exciting Lucid Dream!

This dream started off in my flat, admittedly my recall last night was still really poor, but I’m so proud of this lucid dream! There are definitely bits I don't remember as the dream was 45 minutes plus, I remember considering finding my dream guide but for some reason decided against it.

I’m in my flat and T_ is being really hostile to me and really getting on my nerves. He seems to be a physical threat at times so I retreat into my room and lock him out. I then go up to my wall and press my head against it, allowing me to see through. I see that he’s sitting there angrily and I conclude that he’s quite dangerous. I leave the room and he’s standing there being aggressive towards K_ and my girlfriend. At this point I should point out that I am really reluctant to hurt DC’s, I won’t explain my reasoning here but I feel it could have complications. I lose my temper at this point and reach into my back pocket and pull out a (semi invisible) gun, shooting it several times into his face. It draws a bit of blood but nothing fatal. I tell him this is his warning and that he’d better calm down. I wrestle him into his room , showing him that in the dream I have the power, once he has surrendered I take the money on his side to teach him a lesson.
I decide now that it’s time to leave the flat and drop the money on the floor, deciding that it’s not the most chivalrous course of action (and it’s a dream where money is irrelevant). Once I have left the flat I find myself in town which has transformed into a rocky, watery canyon (a bit like a level in Zelda I once played). Once here I step into a bath like hole which is full of warm soapy water, admittedly I find it quite a let down and don’t quite know why everybody else is so excited about it.
At this point I remember meeting a man who was afraid of trains, I see an old steam train go around the perimeter of the canyon. I know that I spent a significant portion of the dream on that train but I don’t remember it now. I think it started in the same station that I dreamt about in my “newquay” dream.
There is a huge boat in front of me and I decide to explore it, this is where things get really fun!! Once aboard we somehow end up at sea and the ship is sinking fast, with water bursting in through the doors of every cabin. Everybody is terrified as they know that they’re going to drown. I realise that this is my moment to do something cool, I don’t even consider whether it’s possible, I just get on with it.
I start walking down the corridors, pushing through the water with all my strength. Everytime I see water cascading in through the hull I thrust my hand towards it and turned it all to ice. I systematically go through the ship and seal every hole, I can genuinely feel the power streaming from my hands. Once I have done this I go back through the ship and systematically visit each of the now-ice-filled rooms. I simply flick each piece of ice and it shatters, leaving the room in it’s original, pre-flood state. There is only one room where this doesn’t work as I realise I only made a doorway of ice and there is still water behind it.

Everybody was so thankful that I saved them and I’ll be honest, it felt incredible. I’ve never had so much power in a dream before, this is the first time I’ve used the above superpower and I also managed to walk through walls at points. I love lucid dreaming.

A short dream during a nap.
The Barn

I was in my barn looking at where the basketball court is and there was a male DC and a female DC that had a living room of sorts set up. I did not interact with either character but simply observed hem. The woman was angry at the man, but not showing, it for some reason. She decided to leave the man, in a I'm going to a hotel for the night. The man did not seem affected by this. his attention was on something else, he was watching T.V. but thats not where his attention was. little was said between the two, but i felt I completely understood the situation at the time. As the women was leaving and I could see her better, I saw her face was a little disfigured. As she left the barn I woke up.


This dream occurred about two weeks before this one
The Pool Cues

I have been training myself to ask on a regular basis if I am dreaming. No real method but to just look around and see if stuff makes sense. It turned out that one of the times I asked myself this question I was dreaming. I was in some sort of pool hall/mining site. I thought this can't be right and I realized I was dreaming. While in the pool hall I wanted to try and control my dream. Being a Star Wars fan I began with trying to lift a pool cue via the force. I struggled at the beginning but eventually had moderate success. My best attempt was lifting a pool cue, moving it to a table about 15 ft away and attempting to make, i believe it was the one ball. I got the cue to the table but before I could make the shot Someone walked in front of me and I got distracted. After this I thought it would be cool to turn one of the pool cues into a light saber. I was unsuccessful after a few attempts, though I did swing the pool cue into another one and i cut it in half. I later ended up in a sports bar and kinda forgot I was dreaming. There was a football game on TV that was a little different and thats the last thing I remember happening.

Note: In order for this dream to make sense, you must know that right now I live in a suburb of Tokyo. My family has actually been given potassium iodide, but have not been directed to take it yet (and probably won't, we're pretty far away from Fukushima and aren't in any real danger).

I am walking down an unknown hallway trying to get home. I see my one-year-old daughter, and she has a pack of potassium iodide pills in her hand. She is waving them at me as she toddles over. "You don't need those." I say. "We're very far away from the power plant." I take the pills from her and we exit through a door at the end of the hallway. I get tired of waiting for her to walk, so I pick her up and carry her. I see that I am at a part of the base where you have to cross an offbase highway and reenter through another gate. My house is on the other side. I see that (in my dream but not IRL) the crosswalk that goes over the highway fell in the earthquake and I have to cross at street level. As I head to the gate, the gate guard grabs my daughter from me and begins to strap her to a gurney. She starts crying and I scream at him to give her back, but they won't listen. Out of nowhere comes my husband, who decks the guy with my daughter and snatches her away. My son is with him.
We get back to my house and grab our luggage, and get into the car. As we are heading out, the gate guard on the other side stops us and says that if we leave, we need to take some gurneys with us. We pack them into the back of the van and head off down ruined streets (again not IRL, the area I live in didn't get much damage).

Okay... So vividity is not a "real" word. It's a dream word, so fuck you! This was the most vivid lucid dream of my entire life. It's because I removed my Blur Lens.
SUPERLUCID

I am practicing a parkour technique I just created in this dream called gliding. It’s running without bouncing up and down. I am at my house, which in my dreams, is always a different house. Somehow I know it’s mine. I am outside in the yard, gliding to the door, a few inches above the ground, taking impossibly long strides. Then, I realize it’s physically impossible, and I must be dreaming, even though it’s super vivid. It’s 100% clear, just like real life.

It’s a balmy night here in tropical dream land. I look up at the sky, and levitate about 40 feet off of the ground. I notice a tree I am looking at starts to fade. I often focus intently on things in dreams to make my dream more vivid. I look at the sky. The clouds passing in front of the moon look amazing. Stars are out, bigger and brighter than in waking life. A moth flutters across my field of vision. I am amazed by its perfect flight and detail.

The tree below is still fading into darkness and blurriness somehow. “Should I go to the Moon? No. I have to make this dream more vivid first. Just be patient, and enjoy the moment. It’s a beautiful dream.”

I float down about fifteen feet until I can see the Moon behind the tree. The brightness of the moon makes the edges of the leaves and shapes in the tree sharpen. A zephyr blows by and the leaves blow in the wind, so perfectly vivid, it’s like magic. Now there is nothing blurry in this dream. It looks exactly like waking life. EXACTLY.

A swarm of gnats suddenly is flying around my left forearm. I somehow associate this with discomfort from the physical plane bleeding over into this one. I suddenly feel an obnoxiously intense itch on my leg. I know it’s my physical body. I can’t help it. I wake up, and scratch.

Lessons Learned and Commentary: I fell asleep in the living room at my sister's place. I woke up at 3 am, and went home. I then read one of my dreams from almost two years ago where I had an amazingly successful WILD. Uncannily, I perfectly described my last lover. (Not Angel, we broke up, but it's cool.)

I don't remember if I did WILD or not, but I did induce a lucid dream! I have released my fear of getting obsessed with my magnificent dreams, which has allowed perfect clarity in dreams, exactly like waking life. Most "regular" (not Deep Dream State) lucid dreams with me being outside at night. I usually try to fly to the moon, always unsuccessfully. This time, I just decided to be in the moment, and enjoy the beauty around me. You see, I have been working on making my regular LD's just like my Deep Dream State dreams. I am teaching my lucid mind all the things my Delta mind knows. So, it's like I am starting all over again, but I know everything I need to to get to the point where I want to go because I am already there!

I am excited about this type of lucidity. One mistake I made was I went to bed dirty. That's why I was itchy. I know it's gross, but I keeps it real. I usually shower before bed, but I crashed at my sister's place blah blah blah. Anyway, it makes me realize how important it is to dull any stimulus from your physical body. Be comfortable, clean, wear earplugs, and a blindfold or sleep mask. If your place is noisy play some music, or turn on a fan to mask the noise. These simple things are very important to extend LD time.

Another thing I learned is that not only do I have a certain sleep cycle where I have more LD's, it's always around a certain time! It's always around 7AM, even if I stay up late or whatever. I am on Spring Break. That means a lot of sleeping in, and a lot of LD's!

I have accomplished my goal of making my dreams as clear as waking life. My new goal is to stay in a lucid dream as long as I can.

This is the first lucid I've had in a while. I ate Wensleydale cheese before going to bed - maybe that helped!

I was in a spacious house. Everyone was getting ready for a big journey in a car, and a guy my age was packing up - I heard his family calling him "Hey, we've only got a few minutes to go, you can't pack both of those at the same time!" or something. "OKAY, OKAY!" he shouted back angrily. I knew there were two pretty girls in the house, and I wanted to impress them. I walked over to the guy. "Need me to carry one of those to the car for you? I can help," I said. Without me even noticing the change, this kid turned into my brother all of a sudden. "NO. I don't need anyone else screwing stuff up for me, I'm stressed enough already! Now piss off!"
Needless to say, this made me pretty mad. There was some sort of drawing board in front of us, with a few diagrams sketched on it. Harnessing my mental power, I blew the drawing board to pieces just by wanting it to happen.
"See what I can do? I asked if you wanted any help, and you told me to piss off. I can end this world, you know!" I said. Walking away from more sarcastic comments, I strode over to a window. At this point, I wasn't even lucid yet! Looking out the window, I saw a car parked in the road below. People were getting into it one by one. Realising what I'd just done, I came to the conclusion that I was dreaming.

I think I jumped out the window then, landing safely. The two pretty girls were sitting in the front of the car. "Now or never," I thought. I walked over to the car and got in. One of the girls turned round to face me. "This is it! My perfect chance," I thought. But part of me still clung to reality. Everyone was watching me, and I feared their reactions. "If this isn't a dream, I'm screwed".
I leaned in closer to the girl, and kissed her. She kissed back. Nobody else even cared! It was great to just kiss a complete stranger like that with no repercussions. When the beautiful kiss was over, I was going to get out of the car and run back into the house, which was my home, but I decided to stay in the car. I wanted to see where the journey would take us.
"Looks like I'm staying, haha," I said, as we started to drive away. I felt myself losing clarity, so I rubbed my hands on the seats of the car and did a few reality checks, but nothing prevented my from falling into darkness, only to go into another dream.

The start of this dream is very hazy, although the recollected portion contains an element that was connected to the forgotten beginning. The visuals were all very realistic. This dream is similar to Monstrous Distant Future.

Myself, and a group of people were being stalked by well armed men. We made our way through what looked like a heavily fortified underground base. The halls were illuminated future blue and made of smooth cement with digital entry pads. We made our way through a huge metal door and it shut behind us. Now we were inside some kind of military garage.

It was almost pitch black, so I took out my flashlight. (This is my newest flashlight in real life.) I was looking around at different items, I could distantly hear the well armed men outside still. My battery died on my flashlight. (In real life, the batteries are getting low and need to be replaced soon.) I looked in my pockets for another flashlight and could only produce two highlighter pens. (Both in real life are low on ink also!) Someone else turned on there flashlight, and I saw a few armored vehicles around that looked as if they were being repaired from small arms fire.

One area contained a crashed vehicle that had been chasing us earlier in the dream. I remember thinking we should scavenge it for whatever we could, but the crash seemed very eerie. I lost my nerve to take the dead people out of it.

I made my way over to another heavy metal door with a glowing keypad. I exited the base into what appeared to be a residential neighborhood of three or four story buildings. These were condo like. Brown painted wood, with huge living room windows on the 2nd floor. Some of the group followed me out into this courtyard. Matte87 (from Dream Views) was one of them (he looked like he does in his profile picture). He seemed disgusted at how comfortable these people were, while our group was living like rats. (This was connected to something he mentioned in a recent Dream post.) He grabbed some rocks, and started launching them at this huge window - while just then a yuppie looking woman was walking up her stairs. I grabbed a coffee mug from off the ground and was about to launch next, but felt nervous to be caught.

Some of our group had made their way up to a clubhouse in this complex with a bar. I heard one of the girls, who I hadn't seen yet, saying something outraged and insolent. Then she let out this terrible and guttural roaring belching sound followed by two loud clicks. Fire filled the entire bar area and bottles were exploding. I heard our group cheering. I wanted to see. So I climbed a set of stairs.

When I arrived she had moved to the 3rd floor, and again I heard the same monstrous belching roar and two clicks. Followed by a flamethrower or furnace noise. I ran up two flights this time, and found a pleasant looking blond with a long pony tail standing in a small lounge area. She was surrounded by people who were expectantly waiting for her to destroy it. I said something close to, "Oh, let me see what you can do." She instantly became coy and said "I would but I don't want you to get a bad first impression of me." -I was suspecting something sinister now.

I said, "Okay, I will just turn around and you can do it behind my back." She agreed, and for the third time, and the loudest, I heard this growling chattering burping roar followed by two sharp clicks, like giant teeth. Then came the furious furnace-like fire sound. I remember thinking:

"This room is so small, she will burn everyone up." -Then I woke up.
