    1. Not much of a nightmare...

      by , 03-17-2011 at 07:00 PM
      Im at school about to go to the hall, but T is trying to keep me away from there. I go inside and try to close the 2 doors, but its difficult.
      I play some CD and suddenly the lights start to go off one by one. The soundtrack sounds pretty creepy and the lights flash.
      I go to the other hall and there are some young children sitting on the floor being frightened because of whats happening.
      The teacher of the kids needs help to find the control panel where I could turn the lights on and the music out. I see it immediately and wonder why the teacher doesnt see it. I put the music out. I start to browse some CD's and try to find something playable, but I cant find.


      I try to go to sleep next to my mom but I see that my dog is there and I wont


      Im skipping an hour off from school, and we are at some forest with P and J. I try to make up a good excuse for why I was skipping a lesson and I come up with the idea that my stomach was hurting
      The clock is 11.30 and I start to walk back to school. I hear some weird drumming and I make conclusions that its coming from the elementary school and they are having some show there.
    2. The Cave

      by , 03-17-2011 at 01:36 PM
      The following occurred last night as I was attempting a visual MILD. The fact that the dream world reacted to my commands and thoughts, at least partially, is an encouraging sign for me; it is the first time I have exercised any measure of control in my dreams. Additionally, the fact that my logic center kicked in in this dream to recognize a DS is another encouraging fact. I found the visions that permeated the transition from the dream to the waking world, and then stayed with me in the waking world for a short time, to be disconcerting but not frightening in any way. Maybe a false awakening?

      Wednesday, March 16, 2011

      I enter a cave that is lit by the daylight pouring through the gaping opening. The walls appear reddish, as if maybe made partially of clay. I have entered the cave with a group of children; feels like I am leading a field trip. On the walls of the cave is writing that appears to have been smeared on with some sort of green substance, maybe paint?

      Directly ahead, the path in the cave splits in two; one path, the one to the right, continues on straight ahead and the one to the left continues downward. My “class” stays to the right, on the straight path and I can hear their playful yells back and forth as they all appear to be having a good time. I begin to walk down the downward sloping path to the left. A few feet down the grade I kneel down for some reason, as if to tie my shoe. I suddenly think to myself “thank God for that sunlight. This cave would be pretty damn spooky if it were nighttime outside.” As I think that, the light from the cave’s mouth vanishes and I am cast in darkness and overcome with a feeling of dread.

      I tilt my head up and suddenly realize “I am dreaming. There is no way the light would just vanish at the very thought of it in the middle of the day were I awake.” I stand up and run my hand along the wall to my left (I am facing back the way I came, up the path towards the cave’s mouth). I can feel the moisture of the cave’s wall on my fingertips. I still hear my “class” yelling and playing on the path above me and to me left. I no longer feel any fear whatsoever, though I must admit that the echoing sound of children playing in a damp cave completely bathed in darkness is a bit creepy.

      I say aloud “I have no class and those children do not exist.” The sounds of the children fade away into a background humming that won’t seem to stop. I then state, forcefully “illuminate!” Nothing happens. This time I yell “Light damnit!” The cave is not illuminated, but I can now somehow see only the wall to my left and just make out the green markings.

      The humming noise has grown increasingly louder and I realize that it is coming from the humidifier in my bedroom in the waking world. I am once again bathed in complete blackness and I yell aloud “No! Keep it together! Stay in this dream!” But the world has gone completely black and the sound of the humidifier has grown louder. I no longer feel like I am standing anywhere, let alone a cave. I only see complete blackness. Before my eyes I do see visions of luminescent skeletons dancing about and then strange faces that I cannot identify.

      My eyes shoot open and I am lying in my bed. The visions of the faces and skeletons are still in my line of sight. I shut my eyes quickly, the visions are still there, and re-open them, they are gone. I roll over on my back and perform my RC, confirming that I am now awake.
    3. OGF and "They Live meets Chuck Norris"

      by , 03-17-2011 at 12:45 PM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      I was in the car with an OGF. I knew it was strange, but I didn't become lucid. She was having trouble with the gear shifter (though it was on the column). We discussed that for a little while.

      I had a couple dream skips. I think the first one was me standing outside looking at the stars. It was interesting to see the detail. I saw individual stars and star clusters. I took it in more than usual.

      Then I heard a voice say that everyone was a stand-in as in a movie set. It didn't refer to me though. Something was going on elsewhere.

      The next dream skip was me in a car again. I was the passenger and the driver was having a problem. Someone told the driver to back up. He did so and he almost went back too far. The driver started explaining how the car got messed up.

      Then I was out of the car and I was fighting an an alien from They Live. In that movie, a massive signal was broadcast to make these aliens look like people, but if you wore special glasses, you could see that they were aliens. Then I was one of the aliens. Yikes!

      I was fighting someone and they kept blocking my punches. It turned out to be Chuck Norris. He knew just how to block punches and tie up my arms. Darnit!

      He threw me to the ground and I saw a burn mark in the carpet where a hot pan had been. Our hands were about to go into the burn mark and burn us. I tried to win Chuck over by warning him and lifting his hand away from the burn mark, and it worked.

      At least the dream ended there.

      --

      I was in some school that I don't recognize, I'm taking a class that doesn't make sense in waking life, but it was a type of composition class.

      I was working on an assignment. There were ab out 10 pieces of paper about the size of a playing cards. They were layed out in two vertical rows.

      Having used some of the information on two cards, I was trying to stack the papers to be more neat. The teacher was upset about it and wouldn't let me. I was really frustrated because I needed to organize my work. She made me be quiet. I was so frustrated I started punching myself trying to give myself a black eye.

      I couldn't hit my eye, but I could hit myself in the head.

      The End

    4. 15/03/11 Almost Lucid

      by , 03-17-2011 at 10:38 AM (My Wapped Dreamscape)
      This dream happened in the morning on going back to sleep, this dream was very vivid:

      I was in bed with a very good female friend of mine (we're close but not that close) and noticed I was on the right hand side of the bed with a story being red to me in the background ( I had "Weilding a Red Sword playing on the MP3 player).
      On looking I found that she was completely naked while I as normal just had a pair of pants on. We start cuddling etc and she removes my pants, but before anything can happen she asks me to check what the title of the book is on the side table next to me, I roll over and though I don't see I book, I say "The Five Rings" (This is a book mentioned in the story I had on my MP3, at this point I become suspicious about the reality of everything and to test if it's a dream I ask her to switch on the side lamp, at this point I wake up.
    5. apocalypse

      by , 03-17-2011 at 10:31 AM
      In my dream, I was hiding from something. I don't know what, but I had a lot of animals with me, and as the dream progressed, I realized they were pokemon. I know for certain I at least had a vaporeon with me. I was in a house with brownish walls, and cement floors. I remember feeling like I had left a lot behind, most likely at my house, as the place I was in seemed to be a shelter of some form. At some point, I got in my car and picked some body up. There were more pokemon outside when I returned, and I brought them in. I believe one was eevee, the un-evolved form of vaporeon.

      The house I was in had large windows in the roof (really, what a bad shelter), and I remember making a snide remark about some form of apocalpyse that was supposed to happen, which I just didn't believe. Suddenly, the sky went dark, and bright purple lights zoomed across the sky, then there was an explosion. Everything shook, and I held my pokemon to me, looking up at the sky from where I was hunched in a corner. Some of my family was with me. It began to rain, flood really. I was very frigthened, and called my boyfriend who is attending school hours away from me. some one else answered, and I was very aggravated, they wouldn't let me speak with Justin. Finally, I had to hang up and run. I gathered all of my pokemon up and with my family ran to my car. We drove for a while then met up with my sister, who is pregnant in reality, and in the dream.

      She mentions that her husband has been separated from her, and is holding my nephew. Electricity is lost, and apparently the continents have shifted, resulting in families being broken up. I remember feeling deep despair. Eventually, I think I lost all of the pokemon except for Vaporeon. It is still raining, and now I see my sister, holding her son, sitting by a very large grave. She says it is that of her child, though I remember thinking that was odd, since she was still pregnant, and was holding her only other child.

      Details go blurry for a bit, but then I remember it being much later, and some one is talking to me in a lab of some sort. He is holding something that resembles a large canteen for water, except for it is glass, and there is a skull inside. He tells me that the skull came in through the windows in a mudslide, and it made sense to me that the skull was that of my dead niece/nephew, so I took it to my family, who are at the grave still, which is undisturbed, and no one is dead, and proclaim that I have found part of the body. Generally, everyone accepts this, and goes about what they were doing. I don't remember if my brother-in-law was ever heard from again...It was just a very odd dream. Opinions?

    8. Alien abductions and getting stranded on the moon...

      by , 03-16-2011 at 09:33 PM (DDD17's Dream dramas! (mostly...))
      I was at my 6th form, everyone was there-even my sister.

      It's been established that we're being taken somewhere by these aliens, they're pretty much what you'd stereotypically expect one to look like-human like figure, grey skin and huge head with bulging black eyes and jeez they're so bossy.

      We all have to stand and listen to them in the cafe,
      "You might want to empty your bladder now because where we're going and on our spacecraft there are no toilets", one of them explains.

      what the hell?... I patiently tell them that humans need to go to the toilet otherwise we could get very ill. They ignore this and tell me to hurry up. I go to the toilets because I really need a wee, the loos are really packed. After I go and find my sister, I don't like not knowing where she is. One of the aliens tells us to go wait in the dining hall (the cafe) ready for boarding the ship. For some reason we are now on the moon- the aliens must have moved the building while we were in the loos.

      My sister and I decide to go to our cabin and get some belongings before we leave. We have little possessions as the aliens dislike us to own things. I open my drawer and put a lipcil made out of syrup into my shoulder bag, I was trying to be practical because I get very sore lips. I find a ribbon and pack that too, to remind me of Earth (I don't know why), I leave my favourite stuffed toy dog. I also leave my dream diary, if I take it with me they may confiscate it and realise I've written about them, better to leave it for someone else to find, then maybe they'll track us down again.

      Suddenly we hear a hovering noise, we look out of the window to see the UFOs take off and fly deep into Space... wait a sec they left us behind!... "They forgot us!" I whisper exitedly! We're so happy and relieved...but then hear some footsteps. The door slowly opens and a guy steps through looking postively confused.

      "Um hello?" he says
      "Hi, we're humans, you can take a blood sample as evidence" I say and hold out my arm towards him because I think he's an alien in a humanoid figure and I don't want to get in trouble

      "Um er thanks but not right now" he says, "how come you're here? I thought I was the only human on the moon. I thought I'd sensed some disturbance so came out looking, nearly got lost on the way but I'm glad I found you"

      I explain everything to him.
      "Good thing I found you then. You can come to my house, it's safe there. We need to be quick incase they realise you're missing and come looking for you" We step through the door, cold wind blows moon dust about, similar to sand in a desert. We walk quickly and approach a cheerfully strange house. It a roundish shape, yellowy/orange and made out of some sort of metal. There's complicated piping winding all around it. We go in and are greeted by his friendly wife. The guy tells her our situation. We sit in the front room watching a cartoon about gnomes or something. All the time I'm afraid the aliens are gonna come back. Our two new friends seem to recognise this and suggest we get back to Earth as soon as possible. I suddenly remember my other belongings, particularly my dream diary, which will be important as evidence to people on Earth about what happened. The wife starts preparing for takeoff while us three quickly set off back to the cabin. We find it in good time and my sister and I empty our drawers quickly. I make a smiley face in the drawer with some rubbish as a message to the aliens to show we've outsmarted them.

      We rush back to the house. The other two make sure the door is shut securely. The woman shows us into their bedroom, we put our bags down. The guy sits at a computer desk and pulls some controls out of the wall, the woman shows us some seat belts attached to the wall and tells us to put them on because we’re going to need them. We sit down and strap ourselves in, so does she. The guy straps himself into the controller chair and types some things into the controls. The house moves, I see through the window we’re heading towards another similar looking building. Turns out it’s a rocket type thing. The house connects to it and we’re ready for takeoff.
      It’s an amazing feeling. As we travel faster I feel the gravity pressing me to the wall. Once we’re past takeoff the speed settle down and we’re allowed to take the belts off’ like when you’re on a aeroplane. My sister and I lay on the bed and nap, the woman wakes us up as it’s time to put our seatbelts on for landing. We land in a field in a secluded part of the country. We go into a near building, it’s a secret agency HQ working for the government about things like alien attacks.

      We fill them in on what’s happened and file a report on the missing students. Police then escort us home. We’re driving for a while until we reach home. When back we explain everything to pur worried family, then we all have a picture taken together!

    9. Dance in hell

      by
      Hyu
      , 03-16-2011 at 06:41 PM (Hyu's Adventures)
      non dream - lucid - non lucid

      I'm on Teraluna with Yuya and Liv.
      Liv is here for the first time.
      The gates would usually prevent any demons from getting into the city, but they let her through because
      she has no dark thoughts.

      Even though everyone is super nice to her she's still extremely shy and clearly feels out of place.
      But she's happy to be here.
      We're sitting at the table in front of Yuya's place talking about all kinds of things.
      There's a bowl with sweets on the table, and I keep sneaking stuff from it because everything is so delicious.
      Lemon marzipan surrounded by black chocolate, yum!

      During the conversation I notice that something is on Liv's mind.
      There's something bothering her, she wants to ask something, but she's too shy.
      I offer her a cookie from the bowl.
      Yuya realizes that there's quite a bit of stuff missing from it.

      "Hyu...?"
      "Yeeeees?"

      I chuckle as she throws something at me. (I think it was a hairpin)
      Liv realizes what's going on and laughs out loud.
      There we go, loose some of that shyness.

      "So Liv, what is it you want to ask?"

      She turns red.
      It takes some time to actually convince her to tell me.
      She finally ends up explaining that she is going to a ball.
      She has to for some reason, and her sisters will be there.
      But she's very uncomfortable going there, because it is common for succubi to seduce someone
      rich or powerful to go with them. She doesn't want to do that though.
      She's known for being shy, which is a bit ridiculous since she's a succubus, and she'll be laughed at if she comes without a 'date'.

      "I don't really see where the problem is."
      "But... I don't..."
      "You could just ask someone to go with you, you know."
      "Nobody would go with me..."

      She's not biting, but I can clearly see it in her face.
      She wants to ask me to go with her.

      "You could ask me for example."
      "But..."
      "..."
      "Would you.... go with me? ..."

      "Yes, absolutely."

      Yuya says: "See, that wasn't so hard, was it?"

      "So, where is this ball anyways?"
      "..."
      "... it's in hell."

      Wait, what?
      I look at Yuya. She doesn't seem concerned, so it probably isn't as dangerous as it sounds.
      Whatever, it'll be an adventure, it's probably going to be awesome...


      ... Liv and I are standing in line... to get into hell I suppose?
      I'm wearing a red and white kimono, as is tradition for dragons according to Yuya.
      Liv's dress reminds me a bit of a prom dress, it's cute, it looks nice on her.
      We're at the entrance... it says "Club Hades".
      I ask Liv:

      "Seriously? Hades?"
      "You know him?"
      "No... he... what?"
      "The club is named after it's owner, he's called Hades."

      I find it funny, but Liv obviously doesn't know about Greek mythology.

      The inside of the club is actually quite awesome. It's in a huge cave, and the place is lit up by pools and fountains of lava.
      I hide my energy at first, because there's a lot of demons here, but that quickly attracts the attention of some predators.
      Some bird-like creature looks at me with an appetite.
      I quickly change my aura and emit some energy to show that I'm a dragon.
      The creature quickly looks away.
      I decide to act confident, as if I have nothing to fear here.

      There are all sorts of creatures here, most of them look humanoid.
      Not all of them appear to be demons though, some clearly aren't and some may very well be human.
      During a conversation Liv explains that this club is some sort of a neutral zone.
      Hades is insanely powerful, nobody would dare to cause any kind of trouble here.

      At some point she introduces my to her sisters.
      There's 3 of them, they're all older than Liv, and clearly not as nice as she is.
      They seduced some men to come with them. The men aren't even aware where they are, they're under complete mind control.
      Her sisters are extremely surprised that she's with a dragon.
      The oldest of them asks how she managed to seduce a dragon.
      I say in a serious and dark voice:

      "She didn't have to."

      That's gonna leave an impression.

      ...I'm a bit surprised that nobody's causing trouble, some creatures look quite aggressive.
      I suppose this place is quite safe indeed.
      Liv is still very shy, but she doesn't show it to the other guests.
      I ask her for a dance. She's quite happy and we go to the dance floor...

    11. Starcraft Tournament finals

      by
      Hyu
      , 03-16-2011 at 04:51 PM (Hyu's Adventures)
      non dream - lucid - non lucid

      I play starcraft2. I'm quite a bit better at it than most of my friends, but I'm nowhere near as good as to play in a tournament.
      I do watch some casts though, follow some of the tournaments, so I guess that I have some idea of how these things work...
      After waking up I noticed that this dream lasted for a really long time and there were a ton of false memories.
      The gameplay mechanics were also spot on as far as I can recall, although the maps were quite weird.


      False memories:
      After getting my masters degree I moved to California, LA to follow my career as a game designer.
      I suddenly had a lot of free time on my hands, so I started to play sc2 quite intensely.
      I got to know a few people, and after some time I ended up in the pro-gaming team "ROOT". (Probably because I watch Destiny's stream who's in root?)
      Some worldwide tournament is happening in LA, the biggest one in the history of gaming, with an insane prize pool.
      I not only managed to qualify, but I actually got into the semi-finals.


      I'm sitting in a glass cabin, in front of thousands of people. I'm wearing sound canceling headphones, I can't really hear anything besides
      the sounds of the game and my own breathing.
      I played really well in this tournament so far, I'm quite proud of myself.
      I somehow managed to stay quite calm, even though I'm playing in front of a crowd, but things have taken a different turn now.

      I have to play one of my teammates. It's currently 3-3 ZvZ, the next game will decide who's going to the finals.
      I want to win, but I don't want to knock my teammate out.
      Without my team I'd still be a random master league player, but thanks to them I'm playing here, in this huge tournament.
      They taught me to play this game at a competitive level, I'm this good only thanks to them.

      We're 20 minutes into the game. We're both maxed on roach infestor.
      The map is quite open and huge. This game will probably be decided within a split second.
      If anyone is caught out of position he'll probably loose right away.

      I can't take it... the pressure is just too much. My heart is pounding, sweat is dribbling onto my keyboard.
      My hands are shivering... I'm loosing it. I have to get my hands under control or I won't be able to micro properly.
      My emotions are burning me on the inside.
      I don't want to knock him out. I don't want to give him an easy win either, or we'll all feel bad.
      I take a glimpse past my monitor. I can't see well due to the spotlights, but there's so many people cheering.
      I don't want to disappoint them either.

      I see his army approaching. I have to pull myself together, now!
      I take my hands off the keyboard and close my eyes, just for one second, in the hopes that it'll calm me down.
      And for some reason it does.
      We're fighting. Any mistake can cost the game now.
      None of us makes one, we trade army's pretty evenly, but then I can see it.
      His reinforcements are running into the fight, but they somehow balled up.
      I barely manage to catch them with a fungal growth.
      He fucked up, I push forward, hard and relentless.
      A few seconds later he gg's out. I won.
      I can feel the pressure suddenly disappearing. I take a few deep breaths. I'm in the finals...


      ... I'm at the hotel. The finals are tomorrow.
      My whole team is staying on the same floor. Everyone is offering me practice matches.
      But I don't want to play, I want to chill so I'll have a clear head tomorrow...

      It's the next day.
      My finals are against a Terran player... It's my worst matchup.
      He's very popular, I doubt I'll be able to win against him.
      But knowing that I made it into the finals in my first big tournament makes me stay calm.
      Even if I get steamrolled in the finals... I still accomplished a lot.

      ... He's leading 3-2. I have to win 2 games in a row to take it. I doubt I'll be able to.
      But somehow in the 6th game, I manage to pull off some insane nydus play and barely manage to win the game.
      3-3 again, well fuck me...
      Suddenly I feel a chance of winning again, and the pressure is back.
      I'm so nervous, my hands are shivering again and the final match hasn't even started yet.
      Then I see the map he's chosen. I'm fucked.
      The map is extremely terran favored in TvZ. Unless he makes a massive mistake there is no way to win this, and he won't
      make any stupid mistakes...

      I can't take it, I have to leave my box to catch some fresh air.
      The organization decides that there is a 20 minute break before the final match due to some technical issues.
      Well lucky me, 20 minutes to calm down... I feel like throwing up.
      The crowd is cheering... I wonder how they would react if I threw up on stage.
      I see my team mates waving me over. I walk to them, I can really use some encouraging words.
      I notice my girlfriend is with them... huh? did I have a girlfriend?
      Of course I do... silly me. (No, you don't...)

      She immediately says "come with me!"
      My team mates are a bit confused as she drags me away to the restrooms.
      She's probably gonna give me a pep talk. The crowd is too loud, we can't have a conversation in the main room.
      But she has something different in mind...
      She explains that she knows the best way to calm down. I only know what she's on about once she starts undressing.
      Right... this couldn't end up badly at all.
      But I am way too nervous about my next match to think about this.

      We have sex... in the restrooms, just minutes before my final match.
      I can't believe I'm doing this. But it really does make me forget about the match for a bit...

      ... It's time... I'm coming out of the restrooms. The crowd is cheering.
      I walk onto the main stage facing my opponent.
      I'm calm... perfectly calm. I'm ready!
      I shake my opponents hand "Good luck!"
      I say this with absolute confidence.
      He knows the map is strongly in his favor, he knows that he's the better player, me being so confident is probably fucking with his mind.
      He doesn't know what to say and goes into his box.

      I sit down in mine and stretch. I'm so ready, I got this.
      I look at the map, and suddenly, I know exactly what I'm going to do.
      There is one completely insane tactic I came up with recently, which may actually work on this map.
      He's probably never seen it before, and I just broke his calm.

      I smile... I got this!
    12. very vivid dream

      by , 03-16-2011 at 03:05 PM
      This was at one point probably the most vivid dream I have ever had. ok so I started in my 70 year old woman p.e. teachers house and she was very nice (this part of the dream is a little hazy) and I went her her room and I laid on her bed trying to fix something for her but I can't remember what it was. I left her house after a bit and it was afternoon and I seemed to be near a beach town with all the small kinds of building and houses of a beach and the beach off to the left (it just gets more vivid from here) so I walked out and my best friends dad was there with my best friend in my moms car so I got in. We drove along a beach road past houses and palm trees and he stopped and I got out. The beach was on the right so I started walking there but there was a huge strip of land made of sand and had a little grass and some palm trees I walked to the end where I found a fence with a small opening and I walked in and there were security guards with big machine guns looked like m4a1 and he said I had to leave immediately but I ignored and walked towards where some workers were pushing giant rolling cages down ramps into the water and there aS a dock and a huge walled water facility (no roof) out in the ocean and I looked far out to other end and I saw a whale being lifted over a wall by crane and I walked to the dock and started yelling at the owners (I'm a bit of an animal rights activist and veg) and the owners were all very fat and I said you fat f*ks (sorry for launguage) and I was just ranting for a bit and they had one guard that was 8-9 ft and about 600 lbs of muscle he wore a blue button up shirt and black dress pants and I called him a fat retard and i started walking back to land and there was a hotel on regular land with a over hang entrance and I walked through the door and some of my friends were there so I said hi and I turned around and the huge security guard was there and he started crying lol so I gave him a hug but I felt kinda crushed from his hug and I said sorry he left and then I gave this girl sofie I know a hug and 3 buttons from a button Ik shirt I was wearing undid themselves so I put them back and that was the end.

    13. First Try

      by , 03-16-2011 at 02:34 PM
      I'm new to the site, so forgive me if this is in the wrong category.

      Anyway, my sleep schedule is always a little odd, so I am usually not in bed until some time after 1am. This morning (16Mar11) I was up particularly late, reading a few articles on lucid dreaming, which I have always had a passing interest in. At around 5, I finally settled in to sleep, and wasn't really trying for any lucid dream. I was laying on my back, with my arm wrapped around my dog that shares my bed with me. In the back of my mind I was thinking "I will have a lucid dream tonight" over and over, but I was pretty positive the chances of me having such a dream were low.

      Anyway, after a few minutes I apparently fell straight into a dream. I was talking to a man who resembled an ex-boyfriend of mine, a man who causes me great stress and anxiety. In the dream, I remember thinking he looked like my ex, but not being sure, so I spent a while trying to get a good look at his fingers, since my ex was missing a finger, and this is something I do in waking life to almost all men subconsciously now. After a minute I saw that he had all fingers, and was relieved, and able to take in my surroundings. I was in a large room, with cement floors, and some form of clutter on the walls, tho I can't remember what it was. The man was sitting on a four-wheeler, a green "Bear Tracker" to be precise, which is the same kind of four-wheeler I had a few years ago. Some how, we ended up fighting, and as he was begining to yell at me, I was suddenly back in my room.

      I felt like I was looking through my eyelids, like my memory of what my room looked like was allowing me to be in my room, while still asleep. I remember feeling like one hand was holding my phone, which it was not, and I was holding my dog, just as when I fell asleep. Lights were flashing, and I felt pressure on my chest, and a tingling sensation in my neck and face, and had no ability to move any part of my body or cry out. I remembered reading about Sleep Paralysis, and that it was important to just calm down. I was fine, until my dog started shaking in my arms, and I was powerless to stop it, lying there feeling useless. I had the thought to press my forefinger and thumb together, and somehow that must have woke me up because a moment later I was in my bed, dog sleeping perfectly fine, scared out of my wits.

      That was about an hour and a half ago now, and I'm contemplating trying to sleep again, with the lights on this time. I'm usually pretty brave, but that one scared me a good deal, and the whole ordeal lasted only 20 minutes, from 5:00am-5:20am.

      Anyway, that's all I've got for right now.

    14. The Greatest Paraphiliac Road Trip Chase Ever

      Recent Dild
      sleep Non-Lucid Lucid
      I slept at around 11:00pm not awake enough to try a WILD knowing id soon fall asleep anyways [March 10th, 2011]
      This is my most successful DILD to date, and overall lucidity acomplishment yet.
      I cant remember every detail, but from what I do remember I was heading towards my friend Idrissa's house when I stopped at his front door and looked over my shoulder to find a man from about what seemed to be his early 30's wearing a large heavy tan trenchcoat and a Hook where his left hand should have been. He circled the front yard around the apartment complex and seemed to be singing a cheery tune, I eyed at him awkwardly and as not to seem rude I waited for him to repeat his refrain and sang along. He stopped towards me and gestured towards his hook and asked me if I wanted to play with him. Something about him signaled to me and I realized he must've been a pedophile, An uneasy feeling swept over me. I told him that I had somewhere I had to be and he let me go but not without showing me one more disgustingly pleasant smile, almost to promise that he would wait for me.
      I entered my friends house, It seemed strangely narrow and to the point, I crossed one hallway and found myself in his bedroom, he immediately starting talking about something irrelevant as soon as he saw me, I interupted him to tell him about the pedophile walking around outside, he said he wasn't surprised, but he did agree that we needed to get out sneakily before he found us. We waited for a while hoping that he left. We snuck out of the backdoor of the apartment and somehow entered a car, Idrissa must've been driving, It came to me that he was most likely going to drive me home, We drove down the street and passed by a few conspicuous cop cars, I expected us to be pulled over for underage driving but we got passed them easily we missed the turn pasing by my apartment and kept going until we reached a dark and uninhabitable road the dark sky dimmed to pitch black and I saw nothing but the shadows of trees. "Were Going the wrong way" I informed him. He shrugged and didnt say a word we kept driving towards the dark until he realized we should have turned back hours ago. So we do. As we drive back the scenery changes into a cave complex.

      We stopped for a rest and talked about our recent activities, and got back in the car soon after. We drove in circles and were greeted by more changing scenery. At this point I had already lost track of the idea of a pedophile chasing after us. The Rest of my adventures that night are iffy, but I do remember that I gained lucidity later on.


      I had acustomed myselff prior to wake up at 5:00am this could have been the reason why my awareness levels rose to attain lucidity
      I attained lucidity Inside of a mall. It was abundant with DC, I tried out a dream stabilization tech I had picked up previously from a Dv Forum and exposed all of my senses into the dream I touched all of my surroundings and was surprised to find that everything, every sight and every touch was very realistic. I hadnt thought of appreciating my surroundings, So when we got back in the car the sky quickly turned blue and the clouds never seemed so white. The Golden Gate Bridge appeared out of nowhere and stretched across the endless road. We Drove until we reached a sign that read "Welcome To Manhattan" we were greeted by gleaming crystaline buildings, and a shiny marble bridge over looking the Ocean, the sky was sewn into the water and seemed never ending. I saw old people walking around holding hands with kids, this reminded me of the pedophile we had been running from all this time. I turned around and saw him smile at me, he tied us up and brought us into his house. He was going to force us to enter his nightmare, but I didnt feel like cooperating so I left the house and walked into the abyss, I woke up soon afterwards.

    15. Precongitive (WILD): Lucid Animals

      by , 03-16-2011 at 08:40 AM
      I have been getting interrupted sleep the past several nights. I casually decided I could use this to enter REM instantly upon closing my eyes. I did this once recently while stressed out (Night Hike on a Freeway). This might be the first dream I ever remembered in which I was aware of being asleep prior to the dreaming beginning.

      I saw an image emerging from the blackness. It looked almost like a small flower shaped hole in the dark. I could see a well light sepia tone scene emerging on the other side of it. -I became so excited at viewing a dream form from blackness that I woke up.


      I laid still. I was determined to re-enter the dream. I have never re-entered a dream to my recollection. This may not have been the same dream, but the vibe was similar.

      I was in the blackness, awake. A fully detailed dream location appeared. I was standing in the middle of the street looking at an old friends house I walk past on a regular basis. I lost lucidity for a moment. Then, as I watched, all these animals started to emerge from around the property. Raccoon's, cats, and then an adorable looking squirrel came hopping in my general direction. "This is a dream!" I said as soon as I saw it. (This moment is almost identical to: Super Lucid Blackbird Flying) I was thrilled. I turned around to take in the whole scene.


      When I looked to my left, there charging happily towards me were four large shaggy dogs: Black, White, Burgundy, and Golden. I was so shocked by the closeness - I instantly woke up. (*)

      Again I was laying in bed. I didn't move a muscle. This was not a feat of willpower, I was super tired. But internally determined to keep the dreams rolling.


      I was in the blackness awake again. I saw a distorted face emerging a few inches in front of me. All at once, a mirror appeared and I was looking into it at close range. This sounds scary, but I was lucid. I started making various expression in the mirror. I looked more handsome than in real life. My skin was perfect and my flaws were gone.

      (*PRECOGNITIVE*) When I woke up, I needed to pass that same house. I was planning to make it a good "reality check point." As I arrived I smiled. Looked at the house, then, I looked across the street. -My jaw dropped. Right there, about 25-35-ft ahead of where I saw them: Three medium sized dogs, black, white, golden - being walked by a 30-something woman wearing a hat.

      The burgundy colored dog was missing. The real dogs were medium sized not large. I don't recall ever seeing this group of dogs before, although it's possible. I usually do pay attention to the friendly animals I cross paths with in my neighborhood.

      In my first dream journal there was a tiny percentage of dreams that weren't quite precognitive, more like educated guesses Dream: 037 & Dream: 067. This 4-dogs dream is the first dream I'm aware of featuring:

      1) So many different dogs together I don't know.
      2) About 75% accurate and did occur asap almost at the exact location as in the dream.


      I learned over the years that dreams produce: abstractions of people, mind tricks, fake conversations, illusions, distortions, false memories, etc. I never gave precognitive dreams much serious thought.


      Supplements (before bed): 500mg of B5, and 200mg B6. First time trying this combination. I usually take one or the other. Generally, I've found these vitamins help with recall, but cause more shallow dreaming. This dream is consistent in general with past experiences without taking supplements.
