Become Lucid, Screw Logic of Needing Nose Plug Reality Check (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID


http://www.soundjay.com/button/sounds/beep-15.mp3

That's the sound I'm trying to use to wake me up at certain intervals of sleep. Except this time, I decided to set this countdown timer app I have to repeat every 15 minutes, and I managed to sleep through all that.

Loool, I'm a HEAVY sleeper.

I'm inside of a fairly dark area with an inadequate light source, orange-yellow colored light as usual. There's someone in front of me, I can't tell who it was, I presume it's my mother, or some female wearing gray hoodie and bandana.

I remember seeing another lady wearing a bandana as well from yesterday's set of dreams.

They tell me my mind is something, I can't remember what, but it makes me question,

if I'm dreaming. So I do a nose plug Reality Check, but I honestly didn't try because I just had the awareness that I must be dreaming. I do start touching the walls a bit though.

I started to get some thoughts in, but I forget what I actually do.

Rat Killing? (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I can't remember much from this, just that I was signed up to kill some rats in some kind of weird and twisted game.

This Woman Can't Cook Souse (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Souse Soup is an actual soup by the way. I can tell how I go this association into the dream, by reading some girl's Facebook status on her wanting to eat some Souse.

Are you kidding me? You decide to associate things that way from Facebook, mind? Sigh

I'm inside a house, and I ask some random kid if I can eat the cake pieces over at the table. It was on top of your classic dining room table. There's white cloth over the table, and over somewhere on the top left corner is a China plate set

Then I go into the kitchen, and I see there's a pressure pot that's exposed. It looks like there's some Souse inside, but for some reason, I get this belief that it's not really Souse. Later on, it turns out the lady who wanted to make this was using an ingredients list, and for some odd reason, I get surprised that she's doing that.

I just moved it around with some utensil and it changed.....to water.

Yeah that's all I remember.

I suck at Tennis & Inside a Pod ship (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was really pissed in this dream.

I'm playing tennis in the dark with someone, and I suck. The serve isn't even that fast, but I still try to minimize my back-swing, since I had a habit of doing the opposite.

The racquet I'm holding sucks too, when I'm trying to "bend and pronate" my arm for a right-handed windshield wiper forehand, the racquet bends along with my "bending."

WOW.....REALLY????

I miss so many balls, and by many, I mean 3-4, and I get pissed and walked halfway into the court. Then I decided to turn back, and throw my racquet at the ground with as much force as I could exert.

Then the dream shifts to where Atobe from the Prince of Tennis Series is inside some kind of ship with several pod ships to leave this area I'm assuming. I think I end up being him, or at least it feels like I'm watching him in spectator view but still feeling some kind of link with him.

I wanted to get my racquet that I threw down in the ground, but I looked at the status of the pod ship that I'm in, and exiting out is not a good idea. I press the cancel button, but I end up verifying to stay back in after I made the conclusion that I don't need the racquet. During that time, and probably the reason why I decided to just stay inside was that people were asking me if I was sure I wanted to cancel this whole thing.

Since there's a red alert blaring all of the place, I decided that getting a racquet back would seem useless.

I honestly don't know what I was in this pod ship for, but it must've been to escape some dangerous event from happening.

October 19,2012
5:00-6:00

I remember that education had advanced so much, that colleges and schools all over the world no longer needed anyone to go to any classes anymore. There were live web cams for lectures that helped teach people and no one had to go to school anymore.

Soon after this, a war started between North Korea and the United States. It might have actually been because of this new education system that the war started. In the end, I think the war ended with the current North Korean dictator dying, and the guy who killed him getting into a car. The dream ended there.

I tried to have a lucid dream with MILD, but I guess it didn't work very well.

Cant remember the first part of the dream but I was driving down a back-road very fast and I noticed that I couldn't really gauge the speed. I felt that same watter-y-ness to the air that I experience in dreams and had a strong hunch that I was dreaming. I did nose check after nose check and they all cleared but I had to make sure since I was driving. Once more with my foot I felt like I couldn't gauge the speed very well and so I decided to look down at my hands. I did and saw an outrageous number of fingers and instantly was 100% positive. I then looked forward onto the road and saw that not to far away was a turn. I had this almost devilish thought to see what would happen if I went full speed at it. I pressed my foot all the way down, petal to metal and me speed started to grow. Then I had this sinking feeling that it could end bad or I could wake up. I decided to slow down but at least step on the break and get to enjoy a really cool burn out. I did so and the car shrieked to a halt. I drove up this huge hill where it looked like a casino was on top. When I got out of the car I focused my energy into my right palm and shot an ice ball out of my hand at the casino. I remember smiling a little at this but I could tell it wasn't enough. I paused for a moment and really looked around me. The sky looked like shades of orange and purple, the sun was MASSIVE and setting slowly. Big shadows stretched from objects. I went to do my 3 jumps super mario style to fly bout found this weird heaviness in the air and I wasnt really motivated to do the third jump to fly. My jumps were very short. I have never before had trouble flying in a lucid but I did here. I decided to see what my subconscious had in store for me inside the building but as I approached it I woke.

Bits and pieces are whats left of this dream.
Was at someone house, a social gathering. Everyone in the dream was a DC except for myself and this guy in high school who used to have a huge crush on me. I was sort of ignoring him and talking with the other females at the party. We were standing on a lavish balcony all wearing black cock tail dresses, drinking white wine out of wine glasses. Suddenly a bunch of spiders crawled onto the deck by my feet. They were pretty big and normally this would have really freaked me out but they looked just like the spider monsters in Diablo 3 and I had this urge to step on all of them with my heels until every last one of them were crushed. One even got into my hair and I batted it out and crushed it. )Seriously proud of myself here, this would normally be a nightmare for me). Some time goes by, something happens were there is an orgy upstairs and everyone has moved inside and is laughing about it. I go to text Allen that I missed him and Matt (the dude I was ignoring from high school) walks up to me and tries to proposition me. I cant remember how this went down exactly but I remember strongly rejecting him. It had something to do with the orgy upstairs. As I start to turn away he throwns up on my chest. This disgusted me and I began to vomit and swear at him. He runs off to a corner and continues to vomit. I run off to a DC friend and start to take off my dress with my eyes closed and she it trying to wipe the puke off of my dress. I was absolutely livid. I wake. Ewww.

I remember waking up in the middle of the night, maybe around 2 or 3 am. I can remember feeling so excited because I had just had a lucid dream and I was wanting to write it down. My phone was not placed on my night stand and I had nothing to record the dream on. Instead of crawling out of bed to get my phone or laptop, I decided that it would be safe to just write it in the morning. This was a stupid mistake since all that I can remember now from that dream was that I was flying at one point. Pitty, but this seems to be a regular thing for me.

I was at some giant concert/rave thing with Allen and all of his cousins. I can remember walking back and forth from the building to the car several times to grab different things. It was sunny and warm out, strange for a rave. I had made some sort of weird make shift bra out of aluminum foil and was second guessing that decision. I kept asking Stephanie if I had made a poor choice in clothing. Finally after our last trip to the car I noticed that several people from high school were there and people from Allens high school too. I had lost Allen in the crowd and started to look for him. I was growing irritated because people from my high school days kept coming up to me and trying to make conversation but I had no interest in them. Finally I decided to take a break from my search and go to the women's bathroom to seek a place to hide and cool off for a bit. I was impressed when I went inside the bathroom because the decor did not at all matched that of the giant grey cement building. It was lavish, with vintage pink walls, elegant white couches, large round fountains and mirrors, and layers upon layers of red Persian carpets overlapping each other. This space gave me a sence of peace and decadence.
*Dream sort of fades into the next scene*
I am inside this small two bedroom home. Aliens had taken over human form, destroying the human as they take form. My roommate (a fictional femal character) had taken over this form. I had convinced her that I too was an alien that had taken over the human body form of Kara and their was no need to destroy me. She was planning our trip back to the mother planet and packing various random things to bring along in our travels to study back on our home planet. I can remember that these chosen items were very random unimportant objects, like cheep plastic folding chairs, beach umbrella, a ball. It was all very silly and yet terrifying that she could at any minute figure out I was a fake and kill me. I was trying to find a good way to escape her unnoticed so that I would not have to board ship with her. Just then I get a knock at my door. It was my dad (huge dream sign since he has been past away for many years now). I was relieved and yet frightened to see him. I told him to wait at the door and I went in to tell the alien roommate who was at the door. I explained that it was in fact a human but that their was no need to destroy him since he helped many of us aliens get important information from the human race. I said that he had come to pick up an old painting of his that was at the house. She agreed to let me give him the painting and went back to her packing. I went back outside and as quickly and quietly as I could I explained the situation to him and that he would have to drive us to safety as quickly as he could. As I explained this I was getting annoyed because people kept approaching us, first an old woman, then a man, to get loans from my dad on jewelry. The ladies ring was a giant ruby that caught my eye but I quickly shoo'd her away. My dad hopped into a red pick up truck and waited for me. I went inside to grabbed the painting and I explained to the roommate that I would be putting it in his car for him. She came out as well and a weird space like car (that ran just like a regular car) was waiting for her. As I slid the panting in the narrow back seat of my dads truck I quickly hopped in and told him to step on it and he did. I looked to the back seat and saw my old dog Buddy, a black lab (also dead), and my currrent dog Baron (a pug). They brought a huge smile to my face and I grabbed Baron, set him in my lap, and gave him a squeeze. For some reason we decided to drop the car off somewhere to confuse the aliens if the were looking for us and headed out in the opposite direction on foot. Buddy was on a leash but Baron ran free and this made me nervous. I swept Baron into my arms and carried him the rest of the way. Dad and I spoke casually, laughing and slowly forgetting about the alien invasion as we neared my gmas old house. When we went inside the whole family was there, grandma was making a yummy smelling dinner. This brought me a huge sense of comfort and ease. I wake.

The left side of my shoulder have peeling dry skin but with new skin underneath. I thought it was because of too many push-ups.

A few months ago but I never wrote it down. Non lucid. Short but cool

I was standing outside on a city side-walk and there were lots of cars and people about. Suddenly the sky was opened up by a swirling black mass. It quickly grew and I could feel gravity shift and could see the earth bend up toward the black hole. In accelerated manner the world and I were completely consumed by the darkness. Crazy feeling.

I remember being in a place that looked very much like the concession area of a baseball stadium. There were many people there, most of them I didn't know. They were hiding because out on the field was an immortal and he was going to swallow some girl's soul. I'm not sure what he was exactly, but it was clear that he wasn't fully human. There was a dark purplish mist-like energy flowing out of him. He looked very human, but he had claw-like hands and feet, and all of his teeth were pointed. I don't know what came over me, but I ran out there and challenged him to a duel for the woman's soul. I had no special powers that I knew of, but I had an irresistible urge to fight this creature. I must have known him somehow, because he recognised me and laughed at my challenge.
"It's been so long" He screeched at me, "Do you still remember me?". My silence to that question must have given it away. "You don't!" He said angrily, "Challenge accepted, I'll have to grind the memory of me in deeper". Images flashed too fast for me to make out. Next thing I know the stadium is ruined and we're facing each other breathing very heavily. The girl is gone, I don't know what happened to her. I have in my left hand a long, thin sword. The creature runs away, vowing revenge, and everything goes black.

15 years ago
Non Lucid
Memorable

Was getting picked up by my Mom from work at Safeway at night. It was raining really hard and when I got in the car the storm got so bad that the wind whipped our car around and you couldn't see anything through the down-poor. For some reason I got out and looked up at the sky which began to show breaks in the thick storm clouds.

That is when I saw the giant spaceship. It was made up of a few large bulbous disks that sort of interconnected like a centipede but no much less smooth around its contour. The bottom of each disk had a very high-tech shower head like base that was creating the storm for cover.

This dream was super realistic and I had to snap myself back into reality after I woke up. So memorable I don't know why I haven't written about it yet.

10/17/12

Was heading around the side of my house in kind of a jog. It was night time and realized that I almost stepped on top of a bunch of ants. I quickly moved away from them.

10/18/12
between 5:00 and 6:00 am
Non Lucid

The first part is a little fragmented. There were some bad guys and after shooting one of there leaders through the head I realized that they would not die from something like a gun shot.. they were vampires.

Part two was fairly clear. Me and a few guys were escaping the vamps buy running down this fairly large industrial corridor. One of us was pretty heavy set guy who was injured. The others went ahead of us and I was pretty sure that our injured pace would allow the bad guys to head us off. We wound up taking the elevator to the parking garage were we decided that we would hide him in the trunk of an old Dodge Dart and push the back seat forward a little so that he could breath.

The plan was risky but it apparently worked. The next thing I remember was standing out in the parking garage in the safety of the sunlight plotting our next move with the group of guys I had escaped with.

Wake Back To Bed

• Fell back to sleep with goal of dreaming not expecting to become lucid.
• Let images come to me and settled on flying down a winding shape that became a river with tree covered hills on both sides.
• As I fell asleep I imagined that I was a stream of fire flying down the winding river.

Now asleep and dreaming but not lucid. I was leading a long trail of fire but couldn't see the flames coolness in front of me. So in order to see the flames I would glance behind me and then continue flying over the snaking river. The last time I looked behind me the entire bend of the last turn in the river and all the way up one bank was completely engulfed in flame. I thought this looked totally awesome and took off around the next turn.

To my surprise I found that it was now night time and I was way up high overlooking the river and gripping tightly to the top of a steal structure with a couple pipes that were protruding beside me being the only objects higher up than I was. As I questioned what was going on and how to get down I realized my situation and took two looks at my hand. Yup. Funny looking indeed I was dreaming. I remained calm and decided that I would attempt flying again.

I lifted myself over the edge of the structure and flung myself out into the night. Disappointing as it may be, I fell through the dark and the wind rushed past me. Then I temporarily became less lucid. When I landed in a dark sort of carnival area, my brain tried telling me that I had used a zip line to get down but after seeing my cousin standing in front of me I quickly shrugged off the notion and did another reality check.

At that moment my cousin Michah began to transform. First he shrank to about 2 foot tall and became a bit distorted. Then he continued to shrink into a small cantaloupe sized fur-ball with big feet and a creepily human face. I thought that I'd keep it around and tried to put it on my shoulder. It didn't like that at all and squirmed out of my hands and jotted around my feet.

Just then another version of my cousin came out from between two poorly lit booths. He didn't look like my cousin but never the less I decided that I would try to get rid of the furball and take my dream elsewhere. I probably shouldn't have waisted the time and tried spinning or something. But regardless, I attempted to put the creature in the sudo-cousins hand but both were completely apathetic to me and each other. The creature became a little aggressive and nipped my hand like a playful pup and though I knew I was dreaming I skipped back from it and I woke up.

Hello everyone, in case you didn't guess from my username, I'm Zach! I'm a total beginner, and am just starting to record my dreams. I had them written in a journal irl, but I've decided I really like this website along with the community, so I'm going to type up my dreams from now on.

So I was in my house, in the living room. One of my older brothers friends pulled up in a car. I hopped in and we drove off. As we start making progress down the road, my older bro's friend starts calling more people to pick up. Cool, sounds like a party. We pulled around a street corner, and the car is suddenly full of people. When we take the turn, a someone pulls in front of us. But it's not a car, it's one of my irl friends on a scooter (weird right?) moving along with the cars. Although my dream self accepted this, everyone in the car all thought it was weird. We starting making comments about this person, some of them nice and some of them rude. The whole time everyone is commenting, I don't say a single word, even though I know this person very well in real life and could easily chip in to the conversation. While I'm watching my friend scooter down the road, everyone disappears. I'm now at a totally different section of road, one near my house. The inside of the car has gone from the junky interior of a high schoolers hand-me-down, to a luxurious leather seated, expensive looking car. Everyone in the car who was previously there is now gone, with the exception of the original driver. Now, up in the front of the car is one of the teachers at my school, who happens to be my homeroom teacher. Although I don't know him to well, he is that teacher that everyone loves, and I have heard countless stories about him. He makes a comment about the guy on the scooter, even though he's long out of sight.

This is where things get a little foggy, but I have recollection of what happened later on in the dream.

We continued driving, and the random people I didn't recognize from before were back in the car. I remember looking out the window and seeing a swamp. (The swamp looked outrageously familiar. I believe it has been in many dreams in the past, but it hasn't been in one since I've started recording my dreams. I can't associate any memories to it, other than its distinctive look) Later on down the road, I see old worn down buildings. Eventually, we arrive at a field of wheat. I exclaim to my dream 'buddies' that I've been here, and that one time I went all the way down the field. However, this field is a little different than one of real life. The wheat was absolutely massive. Very tall, and far off in the distance on top of rolling hills. We started walking toward the field. This is when everyone disappeared, being replaced by my dad and my little brother (don't worry, I'm not going to keep bringing random brothers into this, I only have 2, an older and a younger ). The pleasant looking field has also turned into a desert. The wheat is still there, but is now thin and not as abundant. And now, the wheat is not golden, but a dull green similar to that of a corn stalk. As we're walking, I pick up a piece of wheat and begin to play with it. However, when we get up close to it, it changes form (could I even consider it wheat anymore?! lol), and the group of seeds that is normally at the top of wheat is now gone, and is replaced by very thick and stiff leaves that protrude from the bottom of the green stalk. As I'm looking down and playing with it, my little brother starts getting upset, sad about losing his bathing suit. When I look up, inside-out bathing suits are suspending themselves in the air all around the desert. This is when I wake up.

October 17, 2012 - The night after the nap!

Pre-knowledge: I didn't do any of my normal techniques, nor did I attempt to become lucid. I just went to bed, because I was SO tired

The Dream:

The first thing I remember was that I was in line for a roller coaster. The line went up and up and up, because the docking platform for the carts was very high off the ground. This guy in a suit came up to me, grabbed my arm, and pulled me passed everyone in the line. The gate to the docking platform opened and he shoved me through, I tripped up a little bit. I looked back and the guy was gone. There was nobody operating the controls for the roller coaster. There were no carts. Everyone in line was staring at me. Suddenly, a cart came in to the station. I got in the front seat. It didn't move. Everyone was still just staring at me.

There was a gap or a jump in my dream, and I was in a small coastline town. Maybe only a couple hundred people in it. There were a few small bars I visited, nothing interesting happened. Except, I did have a drink at one of the bars. It made my vision extremely blurry. It only persisted for a little while. I walked around the town. There was a street that was designated to roadside shops. I walked down it, browsing for something. I don't know what.

Again there was another blur I don't remember, but after that I tried to get away from the town, because it was a bad place to be. There was a path that led up into the country-side that I walked up. And it winded into a crevice. I continued following the path through the crevice. After some walking, I turned the corner, and there was a large gate. It was a wall of aluminum that kind of opened up like a garage. There was a guard on top that said "No passing through," so I turned around.

It was dinner time, so I went back to that pub/bar. My friend Kevin was there. I asked what he wanted for dinner. He said "I'll have water.. and a bass guitar." I didn't question it. I ate. He drank his water. After, we went to this auditorium. There was a TON of people here. I'm pretty sure the whole town gathered up. I sat in the audience and Kevin went backstage. It turned out to be a talent show.

A bunch of acts played but the only one I remember was this kid with dreads who's last name was Hoody. He was a rapper. He did pretty well, and used his last name in a few lines. It was interesting. He looked at me after every line. I was in the front. So I wasn't sure if it was just because I was in the front, or because he just felt like looking at me. It was kind of creepy. Then there was another hazy part that I don't remember.

The next thing I remember was that I still had the desire to leave the town. I went to the coastline/beach with my friend Kevin. I figured we could swim away in the ocean. Right when I set foot on the water, four or five policemen popped up out of nowhere in what looked like to be some advanced jet skis and prevented us from going in.

Another blur happened. I went to these giant docks (what looked like a harbor,) and got on a battleship. I was standing on the very bow of the battleship, and it pulled out of port. I saw this as a way of escape from that piece of garbage town. After a few minutes of riding the waves, the huge guns behind me turned to starboard side and started firing. I couldn't really see what it was shooting at, but the sound and smoke knocked me down a little bit. It was kind of like getting flashbanged, but not as intense. A torpedo hit the side of the boat, and it went down, I jumped off the other side of the boat before it tipped and nose-dove into the water. I was a couple hundred feet underwater for some reason, and the boat came down on top of me.

Suddenly, I was back riding the battleship again. And the same exact thing happened. It was as if I respawned. The torpedo hit the battleship, but this time, I jumped off the opposite side I had before. I lived. I saw the ship go down, underwater, and it seemed to be on fire underwater. Smoke was billowing from it. I swam to the surface, and woke up.

Analysis:
I'll go deeper into this later. I have to go take an exam.

Recall hasn't been good lately. Last night, I just told myself to remember any dream, lucid or not. Seems as though that worked. Try to atleast remember another nonlucid dream tonight.

I was in kind of an industrial park setting. I can remember there being a lot of warehouses and high-voltage lines. And I was in this parking lot with about two or three other people. One of them matching the description of my dream guide.
We were helping someone do a short film for some class. For their film they were doing stunts on a BMX bike around the industrial park. They had set up ramps to do stunts out of clutter laying around, like wooden palates and oil barrels.
After a little while a bunch of people from my family showed up. Notably, my mom and dad, but also my cousins and grandparents. At around this time, My dream guide left the scene.
The industrial park was connected to a town , and there was a huge festival taking place. I specifically remember this group of Asian women preforming this exotic dance while twirling these ribbons.
I noticed a large hill up behind us. A row of townhouses ran up one side. I decided that I wanted to go to the top of the hill just to see what the veiw was like.
It didn't take long to reach the top of the hill. There was a gravel pathway that took a fairly straightforward path to the top. I think my dream guide was there again, and she followed me part of the way up. I was nearly to the top when someone inside the last townhouse to the top of the hill asked me what I was doing in their yard.
I told them that I just wanted to see what the very top of the hill was like. The said that it was OK for me to be in their yard. I then cut though a dark concrete tunnel under their house and continued up the path.
The path was made of rounded red bricks now, and when I reached the very top of the hill, there was a small brick platform, about three meters around. Some of the bricks had been imbedded with precious gemstones, and the center of the circle was a yin and yang symbol.
The view was spectacular. I could see the path that I had come up, the town with the festival, and the industrial park with two sets of power lines running away into the valley that stretched out before me.
I realized that it was so quiet and tranquil, that for some reason, I should meditate. (I don't commonly meditate IRL) As soon as I started meditating, I woke up.

Something to Do (7:00)

I'm on track to finish my homework with plenty of time to spare before the due date, so I have some free time. This sort of situation was very rare for me in the last couple of years, so I'm not totally sure what to do with myself. [IRL: this is a pretty accurate description of my life right now.] I decide to go down to the house lounge and see what's going on. There are a few people hanging around, and I ask them if they can help me think of something to do.

Preparation (7:43)

I'm one of two competitors in a running competition that'll start in a few minutes. While things are being set up, I go to find a bathroom. Things aren't really laid out in an intuitive way. I think I pass some women's bathrooms, but unfortunately I can't use those. Then I find a place tucked away in a corner. It's very low-tech. The toilets are basically wooden frames surrounding holes in the ground; you have to squat in order to use them. And there aren't many dividing walls--it's outdoors and not really shielded from view. I'm not sure if the dividing walls are even intended for privacy; they might have some other purpose. Then a teenage girl walks up and gets in line to use one of the toilets. There's nobody using it right now, but I guess she thinks since I got there first, I ought to use it before her. I don't have much choice but to steel myself and use the toilet. I try to ignore the fact that she's standing only a couple of feet away from me.
