    1. Guitar forged by the Gods

      by , 03-08-2011 at 06:26 AM
      Most epic of dreams: An ancient, quite large, violin, forged by ancient gods (angels, spirits, celestial beings) had fallen from the skies into a lake near a huge castle(much like the one in ocarina of time),the long part that you use to play it was lost.
      I actually started the dream with the violin,but played it as a guitar, and when I played it no matter how poorly my fingers moved the music it made sounded outrageously amazing. There was also a button on the back that when pushed caused the violin to play itself.
      Soon after showing off to my friends, i flashed back to the recollection of how i got this most badtastical of instruments, i swam to the bottom of a deep lake and the water felt amazing, at the very bottom i found the huge violin and buried slightly in the sand was a small piece of silver which just emanated power, i took both and as i swam to shore in the distance i saw a blue whale swimming in the water, all in all it was an amazing dream.
    2. The Dream of the Goblet of Fire

      The Dream of the Goblet of Fire (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      There's a long railway along the park of Hogwarts. Ron, Hermione and Harry are hanging out there and think that the tunnels for pedestrians dug under the railway are "lame" because it disrupts nature. (right, because a railway doesn't). In truth, they're really annoyed because the tunnels are an idea of Snape's.
      Harry and Ron, being the smart boys they are, decide to blow up the tunnels, with explosives.
      They put some under a tunnel, which collapses, and then under another one. Hermione isn't there any more, of course, or she'd have called a Prefect already.
      The 2nd tunnel gives them trouble, as the ground starts to give way under them and they can't get away as the walls of Hogwarts are holding them in. Ron is about to be swallowed and McGonagall, who happens to be looking out of a window, pulls him to safety. Harry gets out on his own.
      They expect to be seriously sermonned, but McGonagall blames Snape. Harry and Ron go back to the tower.
      Time Lapse.
      In the Entrance Hall, Ron, Harry and Hermione are about to go to Gryffindor's common room, but Harry gets away though a spiral staircase hidden in the wall behind a light-coloured curtain. These stairs lead to a large room which isn't in the films nor in the books. Its ceiling is very high and it's very airy and light, there are big desks at which a few students are working, and sorts of glass cases with prizes won by students and other Hogwarts distinctions. Harry finds among others his father's Quidditch champion.
      Harry has only come to see the plaques again, but he also finds a very beautiful, ancient-looking book, with golden letters and metal bits. Something along the lines of "For Harry Papa" is written on it in gold leaf.
      In that world, every one knows that Potter means Father
      (Star Wars influence) so Harry thinks that the book is meant for him, but he hasn't got the time to open it since Hermione comes in through the other entrance, opposite the spiral staircase: large straight stone stairs leading to a double door.
      He goes with her, and as they walk though the doors chatting, a gust of wind lifts a curtain, just before the straight staircase, revealing a very dark, wooden spiral staircase. They slip behind the curtain: there hardly any light, and it illuminates a few dust specks in the air.
      The stairs go down to their right. In it they see a strange creature sweeping (not a house elf) which doesn't see them. They decide to go up, on their left. After two flights of steps, they reach a long dormitory where similar creatures are making the beds.
      The creatures apologize, saying they didn't think they would arrive so soon, they tell them to make themselves at home and leave. The dormitory has beds alongside the walls with green sheets. At the end, there's a window through which you can see the park. Harry and Hermione understand that the dormitory is where the candidates to the Goblet of Fire will sleep. This room especially is for the French, whose champion is... Cedric Diggory.
      Hermione wants to see the girls' room, and crosses to the other side, through the boys' bathroom. In it, she's horrified to find some more of those half-formed, half-naked creatures sitting on the sinks and the tubs. She then walks into the girls' bathroom, just as filled with creatures.
      When she goes back to Harry in the boys' dormitory, the Beauxbatons guests arrive (just the boys) and they start a waterfight. Harry and Hermione lose and have to flee, drenched.
      Later, Hermione goes back there with a water bottle, intent on seeking revenge, but the only boy she finds there didn't take part in the fight and in is fact charming. Disappointing, she meets with Harry on a terrace. She's so hot that she pours the water on herself to get cooler.
    3. The Apartment

      by , 03-08-2011 at 12:50 AM
      This was a dream I had on February 25th.

      It's not too big and exciting for my first DJ entry, but it was still probably one of the first lucid dreams I documented, though it was short.

      Okay, so it began as I was getting up out of bed for school. The point to note thinking back was that I was already dressed and I just went out the front door. I didn't even bother looking at the clock, even though I should have. The last thing I remember before I left was leaving itself.

      After I opened the door and walked out, after an extremely bright, warm light, I appeared in a parking lot, in front of a huge building. Now I hadn't become lucid quite at that time, so I continued on to enter this building.

      When I entered I had my office chair in hand, not questioning it. In front of me were many people, moving about on the lower level of this huge building. It was primarily made of glass and what looked like some sort of steel. Everything seemed reflective, and it was so bright it was amazing. It felt like some sort of large mall complex. Regardless, I moved forward and an escalator with a few people going up them was in view, and to the right of that was a white marble staircase.

      At this point I hopped on the escalator, and met someone I knew. It was a kid named DJ, ironically. I knew he was a friend of my brother's and one year older than me. He was leaning on the staircase rail, watching the people go by on the escalator as he noticed me.

      He called to me and followed me to my destination upstairs which I had apparently already decided on.

      The destination was a fairly spacious apartment, relatively the size of a decently high rated hotel suite, to the right of the escalator and staircase. It was called "Apt. 103" as declared by the golden plaque near the door. I seemingly had a key, or it was unlocked, and I entered. DJ followed me here, and we sat down for a minute. I almost seemed to be thinking about looking for something, but had no idea what I needed.

      At this time I also set down the office chair, and rested on the futon near the entrance in a sort of living area. Then I looked to the clock, and reality checked my way into lucidity.

      Something I should address is that numbers and times on the clock are a strong presence within my daily life. Particularly, many repeating numbers that I see on a regular basis. Why on the very day I write this I've seen 10:10, 3:33, and 5:55.

      Using this basis as a reality check in my real life, I was able to practice it when the concept came into my dream. When I looked at that clock, I saw 10:10, which I see quite often. I can only assume this was in the morning based on the brightness I had seen. Regardless, I realized what time it was, and stopped myself for a moment.

      I had to prove to myself subconsciously that I was indeed dreaming, so I ran out of the apartment, my office chair with me again, and burst through the doors of the large glass building. In another sensation of bright, warm light, I appeared in my kitchen, now without the office chair, right in front of the stove with the green digital clock staring at me, bearing the time 6:41.

      Upon this event of apparently reversing time, I went to bed in the dream, and woke up at 5:30 as usual in reality by alarm clock.

      The next time I saw that clock above the stove in reality, it bore the time, 6:41.

      Another odd thing about me is that my eyes tend to change color, but rarely do. After waking and waiting for my eyes to adjust to the light, and of course, recording this dream, I looked in the mirror and noticed my eyes were green, different from the normal deeper blue my entire family is accustomed to.

      Well that's all, boy was that long winded Thanks for reading if you read it all!
    4. I got the comic only for nine cents! Thank you dc.

      by , 03-08-2011 at 12:01 AM
      I loved this dream! I didn't have enough lucid control to do anything. Yeah...it sucked that I was in complete control of my actions. Then agian, it was still fun

      "Can I have that comic?" The eight year old version of me asked my mom.
      I didn't know why, but I wanted this dc comic. We where at a wall mart check out thing. Our cashire was the janitor who had to fill in the job of a sick worker.
      "No," My mother said to me. Strangly she left me their.
      I looked at the comic, it was the first volume of a new series. I looked over at the cashire, he was an elderly man with sympathy in his eyes.
      ''Listen sport." He said to me. In his hand was $14."I will give you that comic for nine cents."
      I looked at my feet, thinking that I didn't have nine cents. Then four brown dots grew from the floor. They were pennies.
      But I still needed five more cents! The old man pointed behind me. Turning around I saw a silver dot on the floor. I rush to it wit hendless energy. It was a nickle! I had nine cents.
      I gave the money to the old man, in return he gave me the comic. I looked at it with great detail for the first time. It was my favorite dc hero Zatanna, the sorcerist surprem!

      That is when I woke up, happy that I a dc was so nice to me. I guess even dc should stand for dream citizen. He was so real, so full of emotion.

    5. arranged marriage and BEING Disney Princesses

      by , 03-07-2011 at 08:57 PM
      I'm waiting at a restaurant for someone (a male) my parents introduce me too. Several months later I dressed in a very werid outfit
      It has a bit of the western's society of a wedding dress with some Hindu and other countries' wedding outfits. When I not dreaming of that I dream of being a fairytale princess and I either a)eat a poisned apple or b)prick my finger on a spindle. But I wake up in RLF before getting kissed in the dream. Now and again I do the slipper thing or have a tail-but want legs thing or live in the castle with a beast. But all through the dreams both the princesses ones and the arranged marriage ones the song "Reflection" from the moive Mulan is always there. But when I do ask the other characters I'm enacting with they don't/cant hear it. The song be in 7 out of 10 dreams.
    6. first toy story dream

      by , 03-07-2011 at 08:56 PM
      I dream of writing a letter to Pixar-Disney company saying that they should build a Pizza Planet restaurant identical to the one in the original Toy Story movie. Since the ones at the Disney parks aren't at all even similar to that restaurant. I somehow ended up being the owner of the restaurant which was identical except with Toy Story 1 and 2 toys in various places. The various toys would "talk" to/with me if I was the only one there like when I'm there in the morning before the staff/cleaning up after the staff have gone home. I had all the rights of THIS Pizza Planet restaurant. Two nights ago I still dreaming about being the owner of Pizza Planet and I had 2 kidnappings and 3 attempted kidnapping. The first time I "was" actually kidnapped I "was" tied to a chair in a empty house. But a cute guy I meet a week ago was my hero. The 1 attempted kidnapping (which happened within 15 hours/minutes of the 1st actual kidnapping) I did some tricks from books I read (aka, stomping on foot, kicking knee, biting hand). The 2nd attempt kidnapping which happened within 3 hours of the first attempted one. I raced through a maze in the basement underneath the main floor of the building. The 3rd attempt kidnapping which happened 5 hours latter was I was going to the grocery store (with the cute guy mentioned above) and when he was hurrying ahead someone grabbed me from behind but that's when the cute guy turned around and jumped on the kidnapper. The next time I ended up on a airplane/helicopter seat tied up with no clue how I got there. I was in a closed off compartment on this aircraft from the pilot (kidnapper) but was close to a door and that's when (the cute guy) came in using Woody's own words from Toy Story 2 "Excuse me, ma'am, but I believe you're on the wrong flight. " and then after he untied me we jumped on a friend of his horse (who happened to be named Bullseye) with some lassoing from the cute guy. I think it was because I had been on a Toy Story movies kick for 2 weeks

    7. Redwall hero dream (but human, not animals)

      by , 03-07-2011 at 08:50 PM
      I was walking through a wood to test my survival skills and I had a staff like the monks used to carry and I heard talking nearby and I looked though the trees and saw a nasty-looking bunch of humans (looked like a cross between Long John Silver and Captain Hook-with eye patches) with some chained humans around a campfire with the chained humans farther away. I know immediately the chained beings are slaves so I just charged out of the tree yelling "Eulia!" and waved my staff and I knocked out (dead) most of the nasty-looking bunch and the ones I didn't knock out ran away. I then took a dagger from one of the dead beings and cut the chains of the slaves. They said I need a sword and said that if I came with them I would get a sword. They lived on a mountain somewhere outside of the forest.

    8. saving an office building twice

      by , 03-07-2011 at 08:47 PM
      I was working in an office and an armed gunman came in and a crowed gathered outside my office so I stepped outside of my office into the hallway in front of the crowd and convinced the gunman to put down his gun and to talk to someone about his problem. I discovered that he was an ex-employee from the company which in the dream I worked at and he was fired for embezzling money but he thinks his supervisor (who happened in my dream to be my current supervisor) framed him when it was really was the supervisor who was embezzling money. I got him to talk with the boss' s boss about it and the boss' boss said we needed an actual record beside the paper trail that the ex-employee had I had remembered about what I had read in the paper 3 years ago (which 3 years ago is the now in RLF) about taping a conversation and I happpened to know there was a hidden video cammera pannel on my side of the supervisor's door which can a person can hide in while tapping a conversation on the other side of the conversation (with one or 2 people wired up) . I suggested that we meet back here at the office at 4:00 a.m the next day to get ready to talk with the ex-boss at 7:00 am

      But first I had to go talk to the CEO/President of the company to ask him if it was alright for us to meet here at 4:00 am. I started talking about what had happened downstairs but as I was talking I heard a ticking sound and since the boss doesn't like clocks so I knew it wasn't a clock so I looked around the room trying to find something that could hold a bomb but I eventaully found a tape record where the ticking noise was coming from which was going to go off in 2 hours. I went straight to the nearest PA system and Said "Attention Everyone! There is a bomb in the building please leave quickly and calmly as possible from the building." I then called 911 and asked for a police bomb squad team and then evacuated myself and the extra " Big Cheese" (CEO) out of the building. The bomb squad came within 15 seconds of me calling them. Not to mention that when we went back inside the building reports were waiting outside for me. So I went outside and talked to them a bit and then after talking to them I went back inside and looked out the window and saw that reports still were out there and was thinking "how in the world am I going to get home past these guys?" but I must have said it out loud since my boss' boss showed me a passage that lead to the front door of my home which was 3 blocks away. I went home told my long-term boyfriend (who is living with me in my dream) I would be leaving super early tomorrow. I turned on the TV for news and the first item on the news were the 2 things that happened at the office today in the dream. "Today a young woman was a hero for saving her office and her colleagues twice. She saved her office from a armed gunman by telling him violence wasn't the answer to life's problems. Less then an hour later she she saved the building from a bomb."

    9. P, train, Disney etc

      by , 03-07-2011 at 08:41 PM
      I was first I was dreaming about a friend of mine who is a boy and was teaching him about the 6 wives of King Henry VIII (well after we were discussing life after marriage). Then poof!!! I was in another dream and came to a landing of some rickety stairs, some one gave me chocolate covered snack and he/she (I couldn't tell they were wearing a ski mask) tied me up and I must have fallen asleep (in the dream) or something because the next think I know was I was tied up on a train in a freight car filled with Sims 3 Expansion packs (a computer video game). I couldn't tell if I was gagged or not. But I was able to get myself out of the ropes I was in. and I found the door to open the freight car to the outside. I opened the door and jumped. My dream went over to my friends who were looking for me since we were planning to go to Disneyland. (2 have brown hair , & the 2 others have blond hair ). Then it went back to me. I meet a nice young man (who looked like an older 20s version of the friend who's a boy) who helped me back to wherever the train has started its journey on Motorcycle.

      This is the 3rd time I had a dream that involved my friends. Last time I had a dream it was Alice in Wonderland except I was the Alice and the "wonderland" was inside

    10. coins,washroom, water, vending machine and dumplings

      by , 03-07-2011 at 08:40 PM
      I was someone (don't know where) and in my dream the items were: coins, washroom, Chinese food, old school acquaintances and Pop vending machines.

      and sometimes there were 2 mes ( the dream self me and me, me and yes I was aware I was dream) and sometimes there was only one me and during the one me times I was seeing through my dream self eyes
      I was somewhere a super mall probably like the one out West here in Canada. I don't know which order it went in but in part of my dream I was swimming (I think- all I saw was me being dripping wet) another part was ordering Chinese food (dumplings) http://ricecakeconfessional.files.wo.../dumplings.jpg from a cafeteria, and for a brief second saw the inside of a Pop vending machine. (Note: I never used a vending machine in my life.) and in the washroom there were 2 school mates from my elementary school (one who I haven't since since the closing ceremony of our elementary school after my class has graduated- is a child of a local meat empire in Canada or at least in Ontario and is short very short, the other school mate in the dream is average size and I haven't see her since 1st day of High school, and If I remember correctly they both had blond hair ) . Also in the washroom was something to do with water but it wasn't either: sink or toilet or a fountain but something else. and I kept trying to do a trick with water but the coins kept dropping from my hand into the water. In part of the dream I got a pop from a pop vending machine.

    11. Just Another Day at the Office

      by , 03-07-2011 at 02:59 PM
      This was an interesting dream on many levels. First, its setting was almost indistinguishable from my real life office, which is a recent first for me in terms of dream architecture. Second, its remarkable likeness to a familiar real life location makes the trigger that I came across painfully easy to spot and I did spot it. What is disheartening is that my unconscious mind accepted the explanation given it by a DC thus preventing a DILD. I would be interested to see how it would have played out had the DC who provided the explanation not been present. Finally, I was attempting a MILD that night and I find it very encouraging that I was able to spot a trigger and almost DILD right off the bat. As I am still a newbie when it comes to LD, and have only ever had one, I believe I am making solid progress.

      Please excuse the many side notes in this entry. I believe they are essential to some of the comments I make in describing the scene. As a further aside, I am amazed at how incredibly helpful keeping this DJ has been in my quest to explore my unconscious mind.

      Friday, March 4, 2011

      I am at my office, which in my dream world looks almost identical to its real world counterpart, save for very slight modifications. For example, I work in an area comprised of four rather larger cubes with high walls on three sides, but in my dream, my work area is comprised of many very small cubes, with small desks and only dividers in-between; in the middle of this large workspace is a series of filing cabinets with a countertop surface on top of them.

      I arrive at my office carrying my hockey bag and two sticks. In the real world, I play on my firm’s ice hockey team, so I would own such a bag and sticks but would never bring them directly to the office with me. I leave the bag and sticks on the shared filing cabinet surface in the middle of my shared workspace. I have a constant fear tugging at me that I am going to forget about the game I have after work and miss it entirely.

      There is a big to-do in the office and everyone is running about, rushing to get things done. I have no idea what this may be, but considering I’m an attorney (both in real life and in my dream, apparently) and I work in a high pressure environment, this is not unusual and does not trigger lucidity. I go to find Brian, a new guy we just hired (in both the dream and real world) to see how he’s handling all of the pressure and to make sure he’s settled in. I am unable to find him at his desk, which is occupied by a number of workers, who appear to be moving men or janitorial staff of some sort. These workers look to be setting up Brian’s new work area, which is surprisingly nice for someone who just started work.

      I leave Brian’s desk area and go to Baj’s office, one of our Senior Managers, to discuss a business matter. I do not recall the content of that conversation, but I seem to remember it being lighthearted. When Baj and I are finished speaking, I return to Brian’s desk and find him there, leaning against it and speaking to a tall man in a white robe. I interrupt the conversation and realize that the tall man is Dave, one of the Senior Managers in our international tax group.

      Dave is dressed, as I mentioned, in a floor-length white robe. Additionally, his hair is an afro, like the style sported by 80’s rapper Kid, from Kid and Play. Around the shaved sides and back of his head were carved various symbols, with what would appear to have been a straight razor, thus these symbols were bleeding. The symbols were of the sort rappers from the 80’s would have carved into their afros (with a buzzer into their hair and not with a straight razor into their scalp), they included a Nike Swoosh and the Chicago Bulls logo, among others that I cannot recall.

      I join the conversation and begin to discuss how Dave was a professor that both Brian and I had in law school (this is true. Brian and I, in the real world, attended the same post-graduate legal program to receive our masters in tax law and Dave was really one of our professors). The conversation ends, Dave says he will talk to us later and kisses Brian on the forehead. He attempts to do the same to me, but I pull away and exclaim: “Whoa, Dave. Whatever you and Brian have going on, I don’t want any part of it.” Dave leaves and I ask Brian why in the hell Dave is dressed in a white robe like some kind of a saint and why a tall white guy has a gigantic afro with symbols painfully carved into his scalp. This is the closest I come to lucidity in this dream sequence. I clearly realized something was off considering how close the rest of the dream mimicked my real-life office. Brian responds by saying that he’s dressed for the Halloween party and I accept this answer without a second thought, putting aside that in the real world our office does not have a Halloween party.

      I leave Brian desk area and remember sprinting down an aisle of cubes to return to my desk. On my way, I pass a different Dave, a partner with whom I play hockey once a week, and he mentions how everyone is gathered by the elevators to head to the hockey game. I run back to my desk and grab my hockey bag and sticks, but every time I try to shoulder the bag by the straps, the straps break and the bag falls to the floor.

      I awaken and perform my RC.

      Addendum: I added the following to my offline DJ on 3/7, following this enty's transcription here, but forgot to post this online. It is a fragment from the same dream that I recalled upon waking deliberations of various specific elements of this dream sequence:

      As I sprinted down the aisle of cubes from Brian's desk to return to my own I noticed several desks to my right arranged in square patterns, with each next to a computer server of some sort. The servers all have flashing red lights and clear glass doors on their fronts; I can make out green circuit boards inside of the doors.

      Sitting at the desk directly next to the aisle and facing me as I run by is a girl that I recognize as working in my office in the waking world, but whose name I do not know. I remember thinking that it was odd that her desk was on on this side of the office now, because she usually sits on the other side of the floor. Additionally, I remember thinking that I have always found this girl extremely attractive and that if this was in fact a lucid dream I would probably sleep with her.

      I then arrive at my desk to get my hockey bag and sticks as I mention above.

      Upon recalling these specific dream events so vividly upon further reflection, I was amazed that such blatant DS's would go unnoticed by my unconscious mind, including the incredible reference to an LD within the dream itself! Clearly, I have work to do in regard to my concentration and mental discipline.

    12. Practicing powers

      by , 03-06-2011 at 11:49 PM
      Last night I had a LD where I was in a gymnasium-type setting with three of my college roommates. I was showing off to them my LD powers. I had a nice, shinny quarter and 4 balls increasing in size from a golf ball to a tennis ball to a soccer ball to a physio-ball. I was using my hands out in front of my body to push the objects away from me and then pull them back in (without touching them). I found that the larger the object, the harder I had to strain. I also practiced levitating the quarter and that came fairly easy

      This is the first time I purposely demonstrated my powers in LD. It was quite the experience.

    13. Barney, Disney princess getting married to non-love interests.etc

      by , 03-06-2011 at 10:05 PM
      In the first dream I dreamed I was on the set of the old-school Barney (hence school/school ground, not a caboose/playground like what's shown today). I was kid again (I think elementary school age, since that what the kids looked like on the show back when I watched it) They were filming an episode (that isn't real). Than these black guys appeared. I think I'm the only one who could see them. I tried to tell one of the adults (both the in-show ones-when they weren't being filmed and the camera crew) but both thought I was making it up. Even the other kids didn't believe me!!. I than went into this play house and set down at the little table in there and started to draw the black guys. I just finished the picture and was showing it to an adult when the dream changed.


      In the second dream. I was on something it was a church but also was a ship. It was a sunny day. I was in a pew (near the aisle-which I could look at) and mom was sitting next to me. There was going to be more than one wedding happening but they were all going to be happening at the same time. Than the brides came out, all I could tell was they were all Disney Princesses-but the only one who stood out for me was Mulan, since she was dressed in a Western Wedding dress (you know the one Western brides usually wear??) but her face was with the "make up" from the first song in Mulan "Bring Us Honour" and for some reason she was crying (another Princess I figured was Ariel-since I caught a glimpse of red hair). I couldn't tell who they were going to marry (the bridegrooms all had their backs to me) but it seems like the bride-grooms were NOT these princesses' love interests. I just knew somehow I had to stop the weddings. I tried to get out of the pew but mom pulled on my pink dress back into the pew and asked me "What do you think you're going to do??" I told her that the bridegrooms aren't the brides' love interests and I had to stop the wedding. But my mom told me just to Mind My own Business. This is when I woke up.

      I was in my living room (not exact, but it was mine) and everything was so realistic, like no dream I have ever had (and mine are usually pretty vivid, yet a bit cloudy), so crisp. I suddenly thought about dreaming and how I might be, my body felt weird in the dream, like tingly and light. So I actually remembered to do an RC! (This has never happened to me!) So I did the one I like the most, I looked at my hands and counted my fingers. At first, there were 10, so I was going to stick my fingers through my hand, but decided to count again... and this time there were 11, my pinkie finger on my left hand had an extra finger!! So then I knew I was dreaming.... I was trying to get a handle on it, and stabilize myself, but I was so excited, I could feel myself sort of getting pulled in and out of the concentration of the dream. - Now for some reason, this is the part of my dream that confused me. I went to the kitchen and decided to "roll out of my body" and rolled onto the floor (and I could hear my real body falling on the floor in the bedroom. I wanted to go look at my real body sleeping, but I got distracted with something else.) and then the last thing I remembered was going back into the living room, laying on the floor face down, and closing my eyes. I could then hear someone walking/stomping their feet and coming closer to me, I was terrified, and then (still with my eyes closed) I could feel them grabbing and pulling on the back bottom of my shirt, trying to yank me. I was really freakin scared at this, I had the urge to twist around and kick them away from me with my leg, but I was so scared that I woke up.

      Feelings:
      Excitement, experimental, memory, fear, scared

      Objective Context:
      A week ago I was reading "School of Out of Body Travel - 1 A Practical Guidebook" and wasn't really having success and was busy throughout the week, so I stopped my attempts. I have also been getting into the habit of doing RCs all throughout the day, usually counting my fingers and sticking them through my hands.
    15. Lucid (x2): Crime Pays & Coffee Shop Alone Time

      Dream #1: I was with two hardened criminals. We were in a wide entry hall past the first set of double doors. One of them I took to be some sort of mastermind. He was showing us a device that beamed intense light into multiple security cameras at once. It also had a motion tracking gun to fire on anyone who interfered.

      I got the impression we had rehearsed this particular heist a few times. When we were finally set up for the real thing, straight away a guard entered the hall through a side door and the auto-tracking gun shot him in the head, killing him instantly. An alarm sounded. I said "Does your machine have a way to deal with this alarm?"

      He said "No. Run." I could hear sirens in the distance as we fled the scene into the city streets. Plenty of people were noticing us as it was just before dark. The city was unfamiliar. The "mastermind" told us to dump our top layer of clothes as we entered an alley way. We each did. I noticed we were wearing a lot of stripes and scarfs.

      We made our way up a fire escape and I could hear and see police lights bouncing on building walls nearby. I felt intensely stressed out. I started questioning in my mind how I allowed myself to become involved in such a terrible scheme. I thought, "Maybe this is dream?"

      My partners in crime were starting to get far ahead of me by roof top. I was thinking, "If this a dream, I should just jump off this building..." I hesitated. It was a good 10-story drop. I stood on top of a metal ventilation box to launch off from. Again I paused. Then decided, may as well! And I jumped...

      Immediately I sailed into the air unaffected by gravity. I was extremely relieved at first, then excited to be lucid again. I glided around the city for a while looking for what I might do next. I spotted a power plant out of the downtown area and in a rural suburb with plenty of woods nearby.

      As I went to land, I noticed there was a mass of power lines blocking me. I grabbed a hold of one with each hand and had the thought, "This might electrocute me." But nothing happened. So I decided to try something. I glided around the power plant collecting as many lines as I could hold. I had dozens when I landed. I proceeded to coil them up into a braided strand by tossing them out, like one unwinds a garden hose.

      Once they were thick and intertwined, I looked around at the houses in the area. None had lights on. I held my right hand up the spit ends to send power to all the houses using my right hand. A huge burst of electricity emitted from my right hand. (Straight up dark side of the force.) I was thrilled at the raw power and visual quality of this effect. I looked around at the houses. Still they had no lights on. I did it again with more intensity. Again, a massive burst of fantastic electricity arched from my right hand into the power lines. I looked up again, and all the houses were light up now.
      --Then I woke up.


      Dream #2: (I believe this dream started almost instantly when I fell back to sleep.) I was going to pick up my girlfriend from a party. I believe I was running, but at car like speeds. When I arrived at the party I was winded and the cops were there doing sobriety checks.

      I told them, "Hey, I just arrived." The lady cop said, "Yeah but did you drive sober?" I remember feeling unsure. My GF emerged from within the house and told me she was ready to leave. We were on foot so the cops let us go on the spot. We walked to a coffee shop I have never seen before. There was a good number of people sitting around. I went in for a kiss, and she said "Hey, not in public!"

      My lucidity from the last dream suddenly returned. I said "Oh these people are dead." -And with that, pointed my hands and fingers outward around me. No visual electricity emerged, but everyone was struck, there blood splattered against the walls, and they slumped over dead. -My girlfriend was horrified by this display.

      I said "Don't worry." And repeated the same action again. The death was reversed and everyone came back to life astonished, laughing, and looking at me intently. I told them, "Leave us alone now, go tell everyone you died and were resurrected better people than you were before." They were delighted. Formed a single file line, and left the coffee shop. I leaned over and kissed my girlfriend.
      --Then I woke up.
