non-lucid

02/11/2010 wow well i had another holiday based dream, largely centred around me and about 50-100 mates from all different areas of my life together arriving at a resort. the main things that stick in my mind are speaking in complete clarity to craig and cj. one guy who looked like super hans seemed to be struggling with some acid so i looked at him and calmed him down, which made him calm and happy and started to make me feel like i was tripping after looking into his eyes. then i was going to go on some funfair ride but said i was afraid and this girl just pressed herself against me and all the fear went. the best part came later though. i was lying on top of a trolley pushing myself along the motorway when someone on a superbike came up behind me and asked if i wanted a push. they grabbed onto my feet and pushed me along at about 100 miles an hour on the frickin trolley. awesome. may remember more later..

I remember playing some game that slayer let me borrow some kind of way. It was a first person shooter. I think the title was like M8A2, and the graphics looked kinda like time crises. I remember Mark75 saying he hated it. The first stage was like your typical light gun rail set up, but the gun was kinda cool. I had to eject the clip and put it back in to reload (opposed to shooting off screen). Then the second stage was more interactive. The gun controlled the camera movement, and I had to literally move my legs to make the guy walk.

Driving on income traffic!!! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I did not sleep many hours and went to bed tired. I still managed to recall one.

I was driving down the freeway. It was day and there were a decent amount of cars. When I was at the end of the ramp, I realized I was driving on income traffic. I also saw two cop cars and I freaked out. I tried to do a hard U turn and I hoped I was not going to be spotted by the police.

I completed the U turn and I was again on the ramp, exiting the freeway. I felt happy for a second until I saw a cop's bike approaching at me and ordered to stop, so I did.

I got down from my car and I shook the cop's hand. I said, "Hi Sir, I am really sorry, I do not know what happened." The cop told me, "You just committed three moving violations on the spot. I will need to remoke your Driver's License and someone will town away your car. I begged him to forgive me. I told him I was confused and I really needed to drive for my work. He told me there was no way I was going to drive for a while. I felt pissed.

I had a FA in my room. It was very dark and I was glad I just dreamed that. I was going to write my dreams down and I turned on the lamp from my table. The lamp did not worked right. I tried to change the lightbulb, but still not working. I decided to go to the kitchen's table were I used to write down my dreams.

I had another FA in my room. It was daylight and I wrote down my dreams. When I was done, I woke up for real.

Missed dream signs:
- Income traffic driving.
- FA
- FA

What I would have done if lucid:
- Astral Projection.

Second pass
I got some bad news today... almost didn't bother journalling my notes from this morning, but I'm here, so I will.

Just kick me when I'm down (NLD)
I'm inside a field house. I remember trying to protect it in this war-game. It was really tiring me out, though, the lengths, I had to go to. Two kids (about 13-14 maybe) got in and I threw my arms in the air with frustration, saying, "Fine, take the god-damned house!"

I went outside and crept towards some bushes. The two will be coming out to hunt me, and I wanted to hide. I was on a hill, and there's about 2 feet of powdery snow on the ground. I saw a nice thick bush and proceeded to duck behind it.

Someone came down the hill on skis, cutting a wide S pattern across the snow. It was one of the kids, and they didn't care about the game anymore.

I left that area and found Julia. We hung out for a bit.

Private bit.

There was an false awakening last night that I didn't catch. I thought I was awake through this event until I asked Jack about it in the morning.

October 30, 2010

Not much to report. I remember some co-workers being present, and there being a bright room, possibly a cafeteria.

Dangling Spiders (DILD)
There was some kind of event going on the 4th floor of my building.I helped the kitchen staff set up. We were then all in the basement, and one of the guys asked me to get something across the room.

It was then, that I noticed little spiders dangling from the ceiling. I didn't want to walk through them, and complained, and started freaking out. The other guy was all like, "Whatever, it's fine! I like spiders!" Well... I don't.

There was some other bit in the dream where I stood there, talking with one of the guys and I was doing something socially awkward (that's all I'm going to say!). I realized that it was something that I randomly do sometimes when dreaming, so I recognized it as a dream sign. I continued talking with the guy and woke up not too long, after.

I'm a bit perturbed by my lucidity this month. It's probably down to the fact that I slept during the day and worked at night, most days... but I felt like I had no focus for goals, and even when I got lucid, the clarity of thought was really low for the majority of the month. Here's to a better November!

November 1, 2010

Kept having dreams about seeing the sunrise.

Also had some weird dream where I saw how Susanne Summers murdered someone. She threw scorpions on the guy, stabbed him in the neck with a stick several times, and then shot him in the head twice. Some other being came up and she started firing at it....turned out to be some kinda imagination she had in her head giving her the next mission. I turned the channel and there was this weird sport going on that was a combination of basketball soccer and tennis...depending on which balls came out of this machine. Some guy was wearing a spider costume with a suit over it....pretty much everyone was silly.

nope no dream recall tonight

I'm hanging out with a computer club from a made up tv show. There are two guys, two girls, and me. We get involved in a game that involves sneaking around and killing people. While we're pursuing our first target, the guy who's leading our group informs me that one of the girls in our group likes me. We violently kill our first target and the blood spatters onto my command and conquer poster, which is on the ground for some reason. I find a towel to wipe it off. The leader and I hide under some stairs, and he tells me that another girl likes me, although this time he's aware that I'm not interested because I already like a girl. I wonder if the girl he refers to is the same as last time, and decide I'll check the show's wiki page later for the names.

I leave them and run off to mcdonalds to see the girl I like in real life. I try to catch up to her on the way, but am aware that I'm always slightly behind due to frequent shifts of perspective from me running to her running. I call her cell phone and we try to arrange a meeting by the entrance. I notice some explosives being set by the drive through and get into a confrontation with a gang. They start chasing after me. She nearly runs into them as well but narrowly avoids them. The person setting up the explosives loses the detonator and starts running with me from the gang. I see the girl and tell her to run away because there are people chasing after her. She leaves while I turn to the person who set up the explosives.

We're about to part ways, but I tell him that I'll only give him the detonator, which I somehow obtained, if he gives me keys. I need them to remove a single handcuff that's on my arm and something else that's affecting the girl. We make the trade and I pocket the three keys for later on. I find a newly made narrow, white tunnel in the direction the girl ran off. I start crawling through it.

As I do so I have visions of her at the end of a corridor. Two people are wearing white clothes of the kind worn by patients at a hospital. One of them is bloodstained and is holding a knife, laughing while the other begs for their life. It's the same scene as when Hallelujah escaped from the research facility in Gundam 00 and went crazy. I'm aware that it's her memory and she's one of them, although I don't know which one. I reach the top and see her standing in front of a window crying. I apologize, telling her that I shouldn't have done/said whatever made her mad and shouldn't have been mean to her.

Talking to a girl. She asks me when I lost my virginity. I answer and ask her the same. Then I realize how flirtatious she is and move in to kiss her. To my surprise, she pulls me down to lay on top of her. Coitus ensues.

fragment
Another sex dream, but I can't recall any details.

Lucid Donuts
Method DILD (absurdity)
This was in my last sleep cycle. I'm laying on a bed. On and around the bed are a bunch of coworkers. I have the impression that we are on a work retreat near the beach. They are talking about the company's goals and culture. There is a box of donuts on the bed that people are eating. Chris is typing at a laptop and asking for people's opinions. He turns to me, but I'm more interested in the donuts. As I reach for a donut, I realize that I am not in my own bed, these people shouldn't be here, and I shouldn't be eating donuts. I am lucid for just a moment and then wake up.

Ordinarily, I don't write down non-lucids here, I just keep those in my physical dream journal. But a rather interesting non last night.

It's a slight sign that I've been playing too much Minecraft, as I started out in a desert-esque biome, I move to a snowy, mountainous region. I do a bit of digging, but the interesting thing was when I tried climbing a particular incline. Just absolutely gusting wind, pressing against me. I remember being kinda blown away by it (Metaphorically, and ALMOST literally.). So I head down and notice a cave. Inside a little ways was a VERY large open cavern, the cave continued on for awhile further beyond my sight.

The large cavern wasn't lit at all, but I could still see kinda. There were these metal power boxes, that I searched as if they were chests. I search them all, nothing was inside. So I'm fiddling with my inventory, trying to place down a torch to see better. I then turn around and see this dark (Minecraftily blocky) figure jump down off a power box and scamper out of the cave. It scared the ever living bajesus outta me, in a way I don't often get scared in dreams. Frikkin' Id. Dream ended.


As for the lucid, I was in a fancy looking house, talking with an older lady. My cat was there as well, as I had to clean up some of his vomit. >=\ Things are a bit shaky after that, I didn't exactly write down the dream right when I woke up... Frikkin' sleeping pills... But I know I somehow ended up on a rooftop garden. I think I just randomly decided to RC (I don't even remember what kind, but I'd assume it's my usual nose breathe.) and then grab the nearest thing. It happened to be a small duck topiary. As I'm looking at it, it turns into an actual toy duck. This clears things up quite a bit.

I notice a small picture or painting with a swirly pattern, I'm somehow drawn to it, thinking I could use it as a portal. I get pretty close to it but nothing happens so I just leave it be. I decide to summon my subconscious, Elly, via the 'turn around expecting' method. It works! Though she's wearing some kinda green robe and a mask that is either a smiley or a kodama or Arakune type mask. I greet her and approach, I ask if she can take off her mask, she does and she has ear-length rainbow hair and firey red eyes with very black pupils. None of this bothers me though, I talk with her a bit. She doesn't say anything, which is pretty typical. Soon after, I wake up.

Again, not untypical. =\

Though interesting, I didn't accomplish any of my November goals while lucid. Ah well, the more time I have with Elly, the better I think.

I dreamed that earthquakes had rattled the Earth. My city had been hit hard. My family had been packing our things. There were special shelters that everyone was going to. That's why we were packing. We dropped off some stuff at the shelter.

Next we came back to the apartment to get more things. I remembered I left some things upstairs. I proceeded up.

"Hey!" my brother shouted. "Don't go upstairs! The floor will give away!" I got pissed. So, while my brother and Dad
weren't watching, I ran away. I arrived at Lauren Mckown's(DS) house(never actually been there). She was doing endurance training. She let me join in. My phone began to ring.

"Hello?" I said.
"Angelo?" it was Dom, my brother. "Where the hell are you?"
"I'm doing endurance exercises at Lauren's house."
"I'm coming over and I'm gonna kick your ass!"

I hung up and warned Lauren. We got some dual fighting sticks. I hid, and Lauren stood in the open to serve as a decoy. Dom entered. He kicked the hell out of Lauren! I came out and hit him with the stick. Then, he kicked my ass!

He left us. Then, my friend Victor(DS) called. He said a dance was going on at the shelter. I wanted to ask Lauren, but I was too nervous. So, I tried pity.

"Too bad I don't have anyone to dance with." The pity was beginning to work, but then, my Dad woke me up.

This is only a fragment and i didnt really want to write it down. This is my first time using something on this site and i would like to get better at lucid dreaming so i figure i should right down everything i can.

My memory is coming back in at running for my life from a bunch of aliens that i cant see. There are several other people with me that i cant remember specifically. There were a lot of sensors that, when tripped, turned on a bunch of bright lights and caused me to be discovered. (I think the lights are taken from the movie I Am Legend which i just watched over the weekend.) the scenery reminds me of war trenches over a big battlefield but with much more grass. i finally get inside a building and go up to the second or third floor. (the journey up those floors i cannot remember though.) the building is not an exact copy of the church i just renovated in real life but the rooms are VERY similar. so, naturally , i start pulling all the stuff off the walls so i can renovate the room. a person from my high school marching band was there whom i never speak to. she seemed to be working for the aliens and watching over my work. i remember the step of pulling out nails that were in the wall after i had ripped something down, and i had all the nails in my hand. i could feel the nails. the room next door i had to renovate to but for some reason i wanted to run away or hide the room from her. so when she went to open the door i said it was locked. so she went out into the hallway and around the other side to another door. i quickly stepped in the room and found it renovated also.(just like how the setup is at my church.) then i went over to the door and made a screeching noise to scare the person and not want them to open it. she came back around and said we shouldnt do that room because theres something in there. that was the end of that. right before i walked into the hallway i grabbed something next to the door. it looked like cotton candy. (tasted like it too). then one of my other friends said oh do you like my cotton candy unicorn? then she got into a conversation with another person there who claimed she left there subs in the car... my friend said, i didnt know they were in there! as the other person said you could smell them! which led to her greatest quote of my dream. oh i didnt know, i thought it was one of my "well developed farts." haha then i think i woke up or lost memory of it.

there was much more dreaming before this one but i woke up in between and i cant remember. i do remember that it was an amazing and really long dream though. if i remember it through out the day ill make sure i write it down.

if there is anything wrong with how i posted or anything of that sort, please let me know. i'm new and couldnt find any type of formatting. i also wanted to get the dream down before forgetting it early this morning. thanks if anyone reads this

Real life Dream Lucid Dream sign
For me to remember, dreams are 067300, lucid dreams are the color below blue, #4169e1, and dream signs are the light purple, which is up one and left one from blue, #483d8b.

I lucid dreamt today! Oh my gosh! This has increased my will to lucid dream ten fold!

Lucid dream
All I remember was I was in a white room (this dream wasn't very vivid at all) when suddenly I became lucid! I was so excited I started to feel the dream falling apart. It's a strange feeling. I felt like there was an aching heat in me (but it wasn't a bad feeling) and I was slightly disoriented.

Normally when a dream fades from me, it's different. Usually when my dreams lose stability my REM cycle is ending, and I will start to become intensely disoriented, and fall to the ground. Everything in my vision will smear together and fade to white. I guess since my dream lost stability for a different reason, it felt different.

I thought of what to do from my experience on the forums and the only thing I could think to do was rub my hands together. I don't even remember seeing my hands, (maybe it was because my dream was so unstable) but I did so and things improved a little. It might have lasted ten more seconds because of that. I was so happy and thought to myself 'I'm aware that I'm dreaming!' until I woke up at 3 something AM.

I thought in my head "I WILL remember this dream!" over and over, and went back to sleep.

Sci-fi dream
I remember none of this dream but it was sci-fi in theme.

When I woke up at 8 AM, I did remember this dream, but not the lucid dream. I started thinking all about it in my head. Then I thought, 'Wait a second...' and then remembered my lucid dream earlier that night and got really excited. In my excitement I completely forgot the sci-fi dream, but who cares? I remembered my lucid dream!

Last night changed my general beliefs of dreaming in these ways:

• Lucid dreaming isn't impossible for me!
• People lucid dream many times before they finally remember one- as you can see here I almost forgot my "first" lucid dream.
• The above means that dream recall might not improve your lucid dream count because of recognizing dream signs more, but simply because you remember more of your lucid dreams! (This is just an idea, and might not be true)
• I had an idea a while ago that remembering dreams is like following a train of thought. It seems to me that recollection of dreams seems to never be put in short term memory. When I began to think about something else, I completely forgot my dream, and that might be because the dream was just something I was thinking about, not something in my memory. This could be why most people remember their dreams in the morning, but as five minutes pass you forget it. (This is just an idea, and might not be true)

non-dream - non-lucid - lucid

02/11/11 I was in a forest setting with multiple vehicles around me. Something about having three appearances to choose from I can only remember 2 of them, the first being Ben Affleck, who was also a supreme angel of darkness and the other I can remember was that of the guy supposed to be the temporary vessel for Lucifer in Supernatural (Nick). I speak to a black horse with a fierce set of teeth, it remembers this zombie servant that is escorting me and my companion around. He is allowed to touch it. Then I switch to the appearance of Nick and ask if the horse has ever encountered this before, which it hasn't and it is confused as to what it is supposed to do. I run into Ben Affleck in a doorway and quickly have to change face as I apparently have changed to his.

Something about a seriously bad ass Mexican officer chasing me and a woman through the same little forest military compound as before. I end up switching on some nifty awareness tricks I have to find secret aspects of buildings and hidden spots in the level.

…

Flying somewhere to bomb the living crap out of it. Think it might be during second world war as the people we are “borrowing” the planes from are “don't know” that we are doing it. We are successful to an extend. A massive Hercules type plane coming over the horizon of the docks/airfield we are at.
