Lucid | Non-Lucid

Dream 1:

I was driving in a Saturn VUE along in a neighborhood that doesn't exist in real life, the roads are shaped in a way that you could easily go 90mph (144kph). The speed limit keeps changing so I have no idea what it really is, but it was low, around 20mph(30kph). I remember I turned too tightly and the wheels were blown out, but they automatically re-inflated themselves. Something happened that caused me to take out some . . . tarp thing. No idea what it was or what purpose it served, so naturally I took it home with me but on the way its tire kept popping and re-inflating. I wheeled it all the way home where my Dad and my brother's fiancee were weeding the garden, that's when I realized the Saturn VUE I was driving followed me home and now there were two identical VUEs, one in the garage and the one I drove. My Dad was about to ask a question and I said, just don't think about it. He was like "well . . . ok" then went back to gardening.

Dream 2:

My brother and I were walking around a neighborhood that was a memorial of WWII, it had grand architecture and was made of near-golden bricks. It was very pretty and classical music was playing throughout the neighborhood. It didn't seem like anyone lived there, all the houses had no lights, there were no cars or trash cans on the driveways. It was like a mausoleum. Kinda creepy, but it was sunny out and there were birds and trees so it was peaceful too. No reason to worry. John Zaffis from Haunted Collector was there giving us a tour, I knew this would be bad. We went into one of the houses and it looked exactly the way I thought it would look. Like a Crypt.

He started talking about what ghosts can do to you and I imagined I saw every piece of weird paranormal activity I have ever seen on the show (which is like 2 and a half episodes, I don't believe in ghosts, they are kinda boring, not really scary). I saw people's faces being translucent, civil war bullets floating toward me, the lights exploding, the works. Normally I'd start laughing at the ridiculousness of it, but with my logic shut down and my brain overflowing with Id, I sprinted out of there as fast as possible, I tripped, couldn't move. The bullets were flying toward me and the ghost hovered over me. I thought that it reminded me of Dementors and then 4 Dementors came in and gave me the kiss of death. BOOM I'm awake and still feeling sleep paralysis, I can imagine why people think that a ghost is sucking the soul out of them since its kinda like a weight on your chest. Half a second later its gone.

Its about 3 in the morning so I thought I might attempt a WILD since I'm already up. I get almost there but head into HH mode and hear a ghost-like groan and I'm immediately back awake. Apparently I succeeded the second time because I am lucid right from the start.

Dream 3:

I'm back at my driveway, both Saturn VUEs are still there, but it's night and there is a cooler sitting on the front porch. It is filled with strawberry and orange popsicles and many different fruity Jelly-Beans. I thought that it would be nice if my girlfriend came over, and she walked out of my house a few seconds later holding something she drew (she's an amazing artist). I gave her one of the popsicles and a big smile came up on her face. We went inside and we ate popscicles for dinner and watched Eureka. It was short lived but still one of the best dreams I've had and it was awesome to be able to passively control it (I was really in the mood for a popscicle, its been 105 degrees Farenheight ,40.5 degrees celcius, and near 100% humidity).

Non-dream Dream Lucid Nightmare Out of Body Experience Fragments False awakening Early awakening

Date: 2011-07-24
Technique: WILD/DILD.

I tryed out the WILD technique again, but again my mind fell asleep and I had to use the DILD-technique to become lucid.

I'm in the elevator of my buildning (in Frölunda). Carrying something big and white. I get out of the elevator. I feel funny. I leave the item I'm carrying and walk right back into the elevator to look at the buttons, to do a reality check. The buttons are not in their right places and now Im lucid, I wake up...?
I'm in my bed. Eyes closed. I believe I'm awake. Suddenly I begin to float, upward toward the ceiling (I'm lucid again). I start to imagen myself climping a rope and then I begin to float faster. I open my eyes when I realize THIS IS MY FIRST OBE!! My room I dark, just like when I fell asleep, but its still possible to see the whole room. I stop about 30cm under the ceiling. I get a little freaked out...

I wake up.

Dream about playing a cod like game. There were rounds where you had to eliminate the entire enemy team. If you died you were out that round. We were using actual guns and I could see the pain on peoples faces, but I never died. The dream was also very realistic because everything was so detailed and fine. At one point Sky was holding an ak74u and I couod see all the intricate details that were on the gun. In the last round we had to find our own guns. This is when sky took the ak74u and I had to find an M14 in another building. While I was looking for a gun my team left my side and I was alone finding a gun. When I did find a gun I moved out and I saw a battle where the other team didnt shoot because they thought it would hurt too much. Instead they grabbed a tennis ball and whipped it at my friends belly multiple times. Then someone stepped in and said wtf are you doing. The one guy was like do you want a piece of this, then the other guy was like sure, whatever. The guy who stepped in proceeded with punching the other guy in the face. They almost started a brawl, however he started crying and went to sit down at a desk where someone walked up and began to comfort him. There is another part to this dream, but it is very personal.

The dream started some time in the past, showing a time where certain people were actually dragons. They were humanoid but had dragon-like appearances and could transform into a true dragon form at will.

This section was set up like a prologue of a book, and was set near a the base and inside of a cave system. The cave itself was very rugged, and rocks jutted out at various points of the exterior going up to a flat top, that connected to a winding pathway inside that had lava on either side. Most of the dragons were gathered near the base of this cave system, preparing for a huge battle. I was one of them, and I was excited to be about to join the battle. Without them saying anything, I knew we were going to go up against an army of regular people who were ordered to slay all the dragons by their evil king. (I watch a lot of fantasy).

Before I could join them, however, my mom and someone else, who was either a close friend or my dream brother, who were both normal people, told me not to go. I was disappointing, but I listened, and didn't enter the cave system with the other dragons.

It turned out to be a good thing, because when I looked in the caves after time had past, there were no dragons alive anymore. They had been killed by the humans.

The dream skipped later in time at that point, where the king had issued a law that anyone who protected dragons could be arrested, and for all dragons to be killed. I was one of the only surviving dragons left alive, and had been hiding my identity along with my mom and (i think) brother, who were both normal. My life had been a struggle to prevent people from knowing the truth about me, which has starting to get harder and harder, as my powers grew.

The first thing that had started to develop was snake-like eyes. They could be controlled, and made to look like human eyes, but as a grew more dragon-like this was getting harder. My family had house hopped for a few months, avoiding procedural searches for dragons in each town or city. Unfortunately, one time, we were to late in moving, and a guard had come to check if we were dragons. My mom got checked just fine, and my brother was getting checked just fine, but while they were checking him, my powers started to grow, partly due to nervousness, and partly because they were bubbling under the surface wanting to be used for some time.

Unlike normal dragons you see in fantasy, my kind of dragons, had powers in human form and dragon form that were unlike simple flying and fire breath. I could control the wind, had psychic powers, and more that I can't remember. (I'm going to try to use various methods to get back into this universe and find out what else I could do, it was so awesome).

Without my even realizing how stupid it was, I started to test these powers, and made a burst of wind blow over a nearby patch of grass. I could feel the wind from behind me blow over to the grass and make the grass bend and quiver. The wind also made the grass pulse with varying levels of light and shadow from moving up and down. As the wind subsided the guard noticed me doing it, and grew suspicious.

He said he said he would have to do a full body search, (like in airport security), and I knew if I let him he would probably realize I was a dragon. Now not sure what to do I looked at my mom, who seemed to say to try and fake it. I looked at the guard and realized, all I needed to do was stare at this man, and his mind would be mine to destroy. I didn't need to let this man search me, I could kill him in my sleep if I wanted to (pun intended). A this point the dream ended while I was deciding weather or not to kill him.

When I woke up, I used A LD induction technique I read about, and modified it to fit for the purpose of entering the dream and becoming lucid in it. Not MILD actually, it was in the thread of "Silverbullet's possible key to lucid dreaming". Silverbullet showed four youtube videos that really helped. Everyone should watch them.

While I did not become lucid, I did re-enter the dream. WOOT! The dream had skipped later though, and it was me, my mom, and my brother buying supplies at a town that stood before a huge pine woods with scattered mountains. We had realized that living in towns and cities would not be possible anymore, and we were heading to a remote location to perfect my skills so I could defend myself.

After we had gotten the supplies we found an empty area outside the city, where I transformed into my dragon form, and they put the goods in a sort of saddle bag, got on my back, and we took of scouting for a spot to train. We found a spot in the mountains away from people and the chance of forest fires, and got to training.

Sadly, I woke up at this point and never got to experience the training. But i'm hopeful that i'll visit this universe again someday. I have so many questions like: what's the name of the land, what powers do I have as a dragon, do I ever defeat the evil king, do I meet other dragons, do dragons ever walk in this universe normally again.

Now I sound like it's a bad movie or something. But I do want to get back to this universe again, if only to experience being a dragon again.

Fragment

I was with a school group, like an excursion (field trip). We had been travelling a long way by foot, but I only remember when we reached the top of this sand hill, and there was a whole city below us.

There was sand and water everywhere, the buildings weren't as high as skyscrapers. Someone said "We finally reached Chicago!"

I took out my camera and captured the city. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

I wake up.

lol the only time I've seen Chicago was in the movie "Source Code". It's a good movie,

Me and my friend were in a helicopter and it got shot down by WHFs I don't know if we were SWAT or hooligans ourselves but we had rifles and we were shooting West Ham hooligans. We got surrounded and I think we got split up.

The friend I was with was a West Ham fan but I think he was with me because he lives around that area where we were. It was cool.

I think I threw a grenade. Silence was our main weapon becuase there were more of them than there were of us. There were like two of us.

I think I got back in the chopper.

TFor some reason, this was incredibly hard to recall. I only remember a little bit of it.
I'm driving on a highway with two men in a car. One of them is really fammiliar and I believe it's one of my dad's friends. The car is really big, theres enough space for all of us to fit in the front seat, nobody seems to be driving the car either. Then I get out of the car and see people behind us, Asian people. They're having a fight by throwing mud balls at eachother. I get hit by one, but I don't pay much attention. Then, behind the crowd, I see something which looked like trucks without withiut their truckload (thats what they're called right?). But they look odd looking. Very thin and very tall. They're speeding at incredible speed towards the crowd.And thats it, thats all I can remember.

[This is a catch-up post. These dreams are from the night of July 10-11, 2011.]

I'm in Sunday school, and we're playing a game-show-style game in which I am the lovely assistant. The contestant on the game show is creating a piece of ceramic art using a pottery wheel.

I'm in a large van that has stone benches instead of regular seats. The van is filled with good friends of mine, and we're watching something good on TV. The van morphs into an airplane, and I disembark.

The interior of the airport where I've landed is windowless, and the walls, floor, and ceiling are all a flat, industrial, dark gray color. The building has multiple, unequal, uneven levels with stairs leading from one to another. There is one very tangled staircase that takes you up, down, around, and across, turning several corners and going in several different directions, as you go from the bottom of it to the top. [It doesn't loop, though; it has a beginning and an end that are on different levels of floor, but it also has a ridiculous number of convolutions in between that make no sense.] I walk this entire staircase, from beginning to end.

I'm walking around trying to find baggage claim, but I can't; I get lost. I'm carrying three plastic tokens, which I'm supposed to use to claim my bags. I pass a large bag inspection checkpoint, and another checkpoint specifically for people who are traveling with marijuana plants. There are lines of people waiting at both checkpoints. Each person in the line for the latter checkpoint is carrying either a marijuana plant, or some cuttings from one. They're not forbidden on flights, they just have to be inspected first. I also pass behind the back side of the security checkpoint.

I try to climb into an area full of junk. I meet a small boy who decides to follow me into the area.

[Separate dream.] P. and I [I think] are fighting over the scheduling of our showers and hair-drying. I apologize for the fact that I have to wash my hair every day because it's so hot. I try to rush through my shower.

----------------------------------------
Side notes:
This night was my very first night in my new place of residence. When I woke up in my new room for the first time and recalled my first dream there, my reaction was, “Hmm. I got lost in a confusing place. That isn't very reassuring.”

[This is a catch-up post. These dreams are from the night of June 27-28, 2011.]

I'm creeping around a parking lot, in the nude. [This has been a recurring circumstance in my dreams lately. Why is that, I wonder?] I'm trying to get to my car without being seen by anyone.

I'm in a room with a small stage, with a full set for a play on it, where people are rehearsing for a play. Nobody is playing the part of Morgan, so I jump in to play that role. In the play, Morgan is a little girl who watches her mom get murdered right in front of her, in their home. The mom is lying in her bed, and the murderer is some guy who shoots her with a rifle while she's lying there. As I'm acting out Morgan's part, I scream and shriek horrifically in reaction to this, and I start crying real tears. When the scene has ended, I tell the director of the play and the other actors that I'll probably really cry every time we rehearse this scene, but then I take it back, saying: “Even I know better than to do that. If I do that, then I won't have anything left for the performance.”

I'm riding in a car with my parents. We're discussing the washing instructions for a baseball cap that my mom has. They say to 'show' the cap to dry it, and I explain to my mom that the intended meaning there was to 'display' it, e.g., to leave it sitting out to dry. We also discuss how my mom recently had to have the password for some online account set, and in order to do that, they had to ship a packet of papers containing the printed password from Florida to somewhere else on the East Coast.

I'm in a big, cathedral-like building where a lot of people have gathered for a religious service, or a performance, or something like that. We've given everyone a password so that those who want to [and who have laptops] can log in to a Web site to see what's really going on behind the scenes of what's happening in front of them on stage. Apparently, the service/performance/whatever-it-is has something to do with Inception, because I have a printed book that is a dictionary of its characters, items, and concepts.

[Fragment] I'm taking all the bedclothes off my bed, and I realize that what makes my bed so soft and comfortable isn't the mattress itself, but the mattress pad. [This has been a concern of mine in real life lately, pursuant to my upcoming move to a new place with a new mattress.]

Non-Dream/Lucid/Non-Lucid/Dream counter

DREAM 1: We bought a new house. I was staying in my room, watching TV. The TV was the same mark as our old one, but it was like 18/19 inch looking and had some serious issues. It activated me the teletext when I tried to move to another channel. I was trying to exit the teletext, but it made my screen black.
I got pissed of by that stupid TV and went to the living room. Suddenly my living room turned to my old house's living room (actual house in reality) and as I went forwards, I saw my mom waving her hand and leaving the house.
Right after she left, the power went out. I was afraid that I will stay like an idiot in dark, doing nothing but watching the walls (walls...are pretty much a good show ), but then I remembered I have a power generator, so I bring it here to my computer and turned it on.
I was then talking to a friend on Skype and after much talking he left a bit. He said he'll return. I was a little...both bored and scared at the same time.
I went to the internet to see my old NSMB Wii works. I saw that on the desert one, you had to make a weird bug to actually pass it . Anyways, I got really bored and very frustrated with the power out. I tried to call my mom and my friend to come back, but no one answered. I was so bored that I started putting the monitor in my face, watching the window (the sky had red clouds ) and weird stuff.
The power finally went in and I sit down on the bed. While literary watching the ceiling, I was thinking about a Mario level and it appeared on the ceiling. It had gray grounds and ceilings, water below, a lot of Sonic like enemies and graphics. It was amazing, but I knew it was an optical illusion and if I look away and turn back, I will not see it anymore, so I tried to look at it as much as I could, so I can remember it.
A voice was talking with me and asking me "Did you though of a new Mario level?". He also said to be careful, not to use very much the use of hallucinogens, or I will get often weird hallucinations.
I looked at the bathroom and I saw a fat woman...I tried to look away, but when I looked back they were 2 of them!! I somehow made them disappear with my mind and another one just jumped out of some baby clothes.
DREAM 2: I was in my school (again ) talking with my peers. Suddenly Miki came at me and stole my jeans (HOMO!! HE'S A HOMO!!!). He put his hands in my pockets to see what I have there. I had my keys, my phone and my money there, so I was very angry at him. After much useless tug 'o' war match for my jeans, he gave up and ran away.
Right when I started cursing him the school's counselor came in and was like WTF! She punished me with cleaning all the books of the library...
One of my friends came in and asked me why I was punished and all. *sighs*

It pretty much seems like there's no justice even in my dreams.

ReachingForTheDream's Dream

Can't remember where I was at first, but I'm pretty sure I was running away from something. It also had something to do with school. All I know is that suddenly I was underwater. I think I had jumped from a dock. I was now in some sort of restaurant setting. It almost seemed like I was in the Spongebob Squarepants world; everything was so cartoony.

I somewhat acknowledged that I could breathe underwater. I knew at some point that I wasn't awake, and that I wasn't in reality, however, it didn't occur to me that I was dreaming.

DATE: July 22, 2011
LUCIDITY: 1/5
COHESIVENESS: 2/5
FUN/AWESOMENESS RATING: 1/5

The whole dream was set in an unfamiliar building somewhere next to an old highway or railway, with many other people present.

At some point in the dream, Johnny Depp and his supposed rival had to fight against each other for supremacy, by repeatedly running and colliding with each other. A couple other rival actor pairs were doing this, one of which involved Matsumoto Jun, I think.

Then I was a police officer and I was a few seconds late for duty. I tore out of the building and down the short pathway to where I was supposed to be stationed at the edge of the highway, but my boss was crazy about punctuality and I was punished for being several seconds late. There was some kind of emergency or chaotic event going on in the area, so they had desperately needed all officers' help and that would explain why they were pissed off about my lateness, even if it wasn't that bad.

In another part of the dream, a guy sitting across from me tried to initiate a singalong, and for the first few seconds my voice was weak and shaky and I sounded far worse than usual. I don't remember what song we were trying to sing. There were a few others singing it with us.

I think in part of the dream I was fighting with some friends, but my memory of that part is too hazy to form into words. Darn my laziness, it's so much harder to recall the details with so little recent practice : <

This one was an interesting dream. I cannot remember the full details because I'm writing this up at night instead of in the morning. However, I was in some sort of military base or refugee camp. It was set like a big courtyard, and people were staying in the buildings that formed the walls of the courtyard. It's vague, but I remember helping a family out in a "mission", game-style, and feeling tense because I "knew" something was supposed to happen after I supposedly lead them to safety. However, nothing of the sort actually happens. I also set my gun down at some point, and try to find it later in the dream, amongst the mess of stuff in the middle of the courtyard. I ask someone for help finding it but can't remember what model of gun I have. I throw out the name AK-47 as one of the only gun names I actually know, however that obviously wasn't it. It was some 3 or 4-letter code like that, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't relate to any gun in real life.

At the end of the dream, our enemies were approaching the courtyard while we were trying to eat lunch, so we move our stuff out one of the openings away from the courtyard, and they calmly continue to make food. Standing near the cooking area, my lunch I had kept getting taken from me, swapped, added on to, etc. It was weird and hard to explain. By the end of it what I think was originally a meatball sub is now some convoluted sundae thing, drizzled in chocolate with an ice cream cone sticking out of it, upside down. I think the meat is still in there somewhere. Thankfully I only nibble the cone, and the chocolate tastes good.

This dream interested me for two reasons: One, my sense of taste was involved, which doesn't happen all that often, and Two, my personality was different. Normally I would consider myself a pacifist and completely loathe violence, and I figure I would never be able to make myself shoot someone. In this dream, though, I had the personality of one who would use their gun if they had to... even though from what I recall I never actually needed to.

I do not recall how I got there, and I don't really have any great specifics about my surroundings other than it seemed like i was at a waterpark, around some apartments.... I am me myself in this day and age, my fiance is there, im taking care of my son, my mom is also there. We are doin basic things you would do at a waterpark, but then things get kind of wierd... I am down at the "river" only the river is on this huge red waterslide, and we r all carrying around intertubes like we would be floating on a river but also riding them down a waterslide. My son (3 yrs old) and fiance are off doing their own thing as well as my mother... there are now 2 ppl there in addition to my mother, son, and fiance, and a BUNCH of people i donot know, my mom's ex boyfriend and his new girlfriend whom was his ex which is the mother of his new child gunner who is also there, and for some reason I am trying to "save" Gunner (who is 6 months old) from his mother and father (im anxious, sad, scared, and angry) I am reaching down and frantically trying to take him out of his carseat.... I wake... when i fall back asleep, my surroundings are the same, only now my exboyfriend (whom i havent seen in 5 years) is there with me, we are just hanging out as friends talking and laughing, we go and slide/float down this river waterslide and as we r i see my mother, my fiance and son and i wave, i am very happy... then my son wakes me

Animusmessor179's Dream

1) I go to a friend’s house for a get together of a sort. I think a camping trip or some other outdoorsy thing… The first floor is partially open, with one wall out into the yard in front of me. Grass. I see a number of my friends, as well as Colin, a coworker. I didn’t know he knew my circle of friends… He’s wearing a head wrap for some reason, and someone has on a snorkel and mask. I become LUCID, and fly out and up to the second floor.

2) On the IOSDP thread, someone posts up points for most of the users. Man of Shred comments that I’ve been forgotten.

3) I’m playing Team Fortress 2, as an engineer. A heavy pins me down with fire but leaves, and I rush to a building outside the enemy spawn. I place a sentry hiding around the corner on a flight of stairs (it’s too short to fire through the open air window above it though). I use my shotgun and a boomerang (fired with the mouse wheel) to kill two or three enemies as they leave spawn. I feel somewhat bad for this, as the boomerang is an autohit and follows them in to kill them… The kill icons appear in the top left of the screen. The dream shifts. Same place, but I’m talking to a Jesus looking figure. He makes a comment as to my hair style. I “know” he’s the third oldest being in existence, and I begin to ponder how the more advanced beings create the lower races. I think what humanity will give to the world, who will be our children. Shifts again. I am Kratos, and another god with a glowing full face helmet is fighting me. The Jesus figure asks me a question that I don’t recall. I reply, “I’ll burn the world.” He grabs me, and I glow with a golden light. The helmet god swings his sword at my chest, but the glow stops it.
Helmet Guy. Ish...

4) LUCID. Grab a DC and ask if I can please kiss them. She smiles. I kiss her.
(To explain, part of the reason for this is that my DCs and I have had… disagreements in the past. Twice in my life, once recently, they’ve outright told me that they won’t tolerate how I treat them. These past few weeks I’ve been working on this. Now, I’m a very respectful and kind person in waking life, but I’m aware that I’m dreaming in most of my dreams. Or at the least, that I’m not me. And since the DCs are part of me, I felt alright treating them poorly. But they deserve as much respect as the rest of my mind. So, I’m taking this as a good sign.)

5) Adrian Monk is married to a woman with a degenerative disease. She smokes, and is currently nihilistic. At a dinner of some sort, she overhears a woman talking of her research into the secret of life. The scene changes to an outdoor setting. A creature that looks like it’s been literally stitched together (yellow, collar-like neckflap, short claw legs, goblin-like face with a beak). –Shift- There are three of these creatures , a Kabutops (pokemon) looking quadruped with two legs ripped off (my assumption was the fossil was incomplete), and various other things. I am inside the enclosure with them, climb to the top of a metal frame tower, and jump over the fence. The creatures break out and start chasing me and other scientists to a walled city. –Shift- The creatures are now little children, still chasing me. Candy is strewn on the way to the city, and I try to throw it to distract the kids. They don’t go for it, and one catches me.

6) LUCID. On a highway. Trying to change the dream to the Chichen Itza pyramid. Talking to the dream to get this to happen, but nothing changes. I start flying.
-Skip-
In space. Observer perspective (I don’t have a body). I am going in space to pick up a future ally and teammate of mine. He and another person are on a planet infested with zombies. They have chain saws and scythes, but the other guy gets pulled down and killed.
