side notes

Okay. With the dreams I had two days ago, I was able to remember them so well all up until the afternoon. For some reason now, my dreams are a bit hazier so I'll actually write some dream notes down in the morning, right when I wake up.

I also seem to automatically wake up around 4:34AM every night. I love how the body and mind works together. It's like, my body knows I want to try out the WILD technique, so it wakes up so that I don't have to be alarmed in order to do it. (The alarm usually causes me to forget my dreams immediately)

I also realized that my first close to successful WILD was actually when I was sleeping on the couch for about an hour, woke up, went to the washroom, chatted with my mom, and then went to my bed to sleep.
Strangely, I wasn't even really trying to WILD at first, but the strange sensations reminded me that this would be a good time to try it. And I got so close!

I think I'll try having myself wake up every time I sleep for the first hour, and try the WILD at that time. Waking up in the middle of the night trying to WILD is a bit of a hassle anyway... Plus I'm sometimes scared of the dark in the middle of the night

I think it will be more successful the next time I try. Wish me luck!

Ok....until now i´ve posted some dreams, some old ones...just to document a few i had, before the "oath".

Before the oath, i had 3 lucid dreams. The oath was the moment i started to take this Lucid Dreaming project more serious.

The Oath was made on August 17th, 2011.

From now on i´ll only post dreams from that day forward.

It´s like a "year zero" for my dream-life. The day i created my oneiric projection...the Red King

[COLOR="silver"]Normally I use a lot of alarms to together form a timer ramp. But this time I only used one with 15 seconds of autosnooze and then I used a normal snooe function to make it go on repeat. And this morning I had a lucid dream.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I woke up 05.00 to the alarm and just fell asleep again, I started dreaming something, but 2 minutes later I woke up to the a larm again so I went up very dizzy and tired. I turned off the alarm and went back to bed. So this was like a double alarm. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I were in my school and I were in my English class, I saw that my teacher was a woman and normally it is a man. I was very aware in this dream and aware enough to realise that something was wrong.I looked around and[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]I realised that it was something unusual about this and I realised that I was dreaming. It was very hard to believe because it was so vivid, not as vivid as reality, but almost.
Every stopped, just like in the Inception movie in the bar when Fischer realise that he was dreaming, every person in the room looked at me. I made eyecontact with one good looking girl. I got out of my chair and I saw that I was naked! It was a little embarrassing, but I knew that this was a dream so I didn't had anything to become embarrassed of, so I just laughed and went on with it. When I did that I felt that I now had clothes.
Problem solved. The hot girl leaned in and kissed me, I was amazed of how it felt. She smiled and went away. I am still lucid! I thought. And I imagined a girl that I used to be in love with for a couple of years ago and I asked her "Why didn't you like me?" she just laughed and said "It doesn't matter, I do now".
She gave me her cellphone which I for some reason dropped so it broke. I thought damn it, wait I am in a dream I can fix it! I imagined a new phone in my hand, and it just appeard!

I strpped down naked again, just to feel that I am totally free in this dream. I went up the stairs in my school and up to the top floor. I wanted to jump our from the window and try to fly. I went into another class on the topfloor and said "Open the window!". "Sure naked man" someone laughed. I saw my Biology teacher there and then I opened the windows (which looked weird). Then I took pace and jumped out. I couldn't control the fall, but I eventually managed to fly from the speed of the fall. So now i was flying! With the best control ever!!
I did swimming motions to levitate up to the window again and the people in there couldn't believe their dreamy eyes. I nicked my head down and up fast, like a bull does when it gores. And now I could control the direction of and the speed of the flying. Yes I could fly, but I failed the landing and I got really dizzy. And weirdly enough I lost my lucidity here.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]That shouldn't matter, because a dream is just a thought right? But I dreamt that I were some kind of superhero, like the green lantern or something. So I were in some futuistic city and fighted criminals.This dream ended with me being in a mall and some terrorists tried to rob a bank. I tried to stop them, but they threw a grenade at me. I grabbed it and managed to stop it from exploading with just my hand. But I threw it back on them and it exploded. Then I thought this was a v-serie or something and I was not as aware when dreaming this. Instead I was watching it. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Then I woke up and the time was now 06.14! Talk about a long dream! The longest lucid and together with the non-lucid, longest dream ever.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Last day it was horror movie night at my school, so I watched The grudge and Insidious.
I was a little afraid that I would dream nightmares, but I haven't had nightmares for years so I was actually hoping to have one so I could become lucid. But no I didn't had any. This night I set an alarm to wake me up and force me to get out of bed.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I dreamt something about me being on a really high skateboard ramp and it was really vivid, but then my WBTB alarm woke me up, so I realised that I had been dreaming.

I fell asleep again and I dreamt that I took Iphone photos on my friends from different angles and I met some friends that I appearntly knew.

Then I was in my school and had a blanket over me that I could look through and I sang something. Andriano my friend told me that he hadn't got his essay back and I said that I forgot to write his name on the essay we wrote together so I had got all the credit. I wrote his name on the paper too and then told what had happend to our teacher.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Then I woke up. I think that the pillow speaker only can wake me up if I sleep light.
But sometimes I don't so I think I am going to use the iphones speaker and hopefully I don't disturb anyone else.[/COLOR]

non-lucid - black
lucid - blue

For the past couple nights I've been trying to be lucid but I'm always half-awake and not fully in a dream. 2 nights ago I had an epic LD. At first I wasn't lucid and was in some kind of story. I dreamt of this guy that looked like my bf in reality but wasn't my my bf since it was not his energy signature. I dreamt of meeting this guy in class. He sat behind me annoying me. I somehow dreamt little by little we were getting romantically linked. Suddenly I dreamt my family and I were vacationing in the Philippines, my homecountry. My sisters and I went there with my dad. I don't remember the reason why we were there but I remembered we were only gonna stay there for 1 week. I was there in PI but somehow it looked like I was in my house in the USA. But at random times it evolved to the house in PI, my grandma's house to be exact. I would randomly see myself in the 3rd person at random times as well. Suddenly it was as if 1 week passed and my mom came to take us back to USA. We went back home and suddenly I saw that mysterious guy again. He started to put his arms around me like my bf in waking life would. In the dream i forgot i had a bf in waking life. I wasn't lucid yet. In the dream I thought I was dating two people. That mysterious guy in USA and a girl in PI. WEIRD . We were walking near shops and stores near my house, then he asked me "Have you decided to be in a formal relationship w/ anyone yet?" I replied "Yes." and he answered "To that girl isn't it?" and I said "No, to you." We suddenly stopped walking in front of a band that was playing and he raised his fist in front of them. Like he was happy that I said yes to him. As we were walking, we were suddenly in a restaurant.

That's when I remembered my bf in waking life. I remembered in waking life my bf warned me he had an LD of me being with another guy that looked exactly like him but was not him. That dream hurt him and so I wanted to change what was happening and ran away from the guy. I became lucid then lost it.

I was suddenly in a hotel lobby with 2 girls. For some reason I started fighting with both of them.

I became fully lucid when I was fighting with them remembering I was dreaming. I became lucid and tried to stay in the dream by touching the floor, the wall, the furniture, etc. I remembered reading the tutorial in DV about stabilizing the dream to make it more clear I just had to look at both my hands and say "Stabilize dream" out loud and everything would be more clear and vivid. At first it didn't work. I kept fighting with the 2 bitches. Suddenly I thought "Why am I wasting my lucidity fighting these 2 worthless girls for no reason?". I repeated the stablize dream technique and this time it worked one girl's face became really clear. I remembered she was a white girl wearing a tight black dress; the other girl I don't remember too much of. I kept fighting them trying to take control of the dream at the same time to stop and do other things but they kept coming at me and I had to keep fighting. I wanted to control the dream so they'd stop or I win but it didn't happen yet. Suddenly the scene changed and I was in an auditorium with people dressed up like they were important. The 2 girls I was fighting with were also there but they weren't fighting me instead they sat quietly in one of the red chairs. The so-called important people were discussing about a movie that I was making all of a sudden. I thought "I'm making a movie?"

I lost lucidity in this part a little and went along. The people were saying things like they were excited about my movie since it's gonna be the first movie in today's generation where no use of stunt doubles or special effects is needed in a blockbuster. So then it connected I was fighting the 2 girls for a movie. REAL fighting though. I suddenly got scared and thought if the ppl saw how we were fighting in the movie like REAL fighting I would get sued.

I suddenly regained full lucidity and I flew upwards right out of the ceiling. This is when my successful dream control was beginning in this dream. I suddenly remembered what i wanted to do, I wanna join the serial dreaming RPG. I wanted to get to Denn. I tried spinning while closing my eyes but it didn't work. So instead I flew up I always have no trouble flying nowadays in dreams. I flew straight up first with my fist pumped up to the sky like Wonderwoman. Then when I felt like i was high enough I changed to flying horizontally. It was a night with lots of stars. I always seem to be in the night with stars in my dreams. I wanted to have more fun. I remembered reading Mancon's "diff ways of flying" and tried flying on a broomstick across the sky. I summoned it by looking away imagining it's there and suddenly it was when i looked back. I flew on it but was quickly bored i like flying without depending on any object but my own ability and body it's more fun for me lol I remembered reading from DV i could use flying to get me wer I wanted to go. I wanted to get to Denn. I was trying to control my dream to get there. I know my imagination and my mind is the only limit in a dream. I wanted to get to Denn. I was telling myself it's there. I looked down at the dark night and saw a town full of lights. When I flew down it wasn't Denn though. I was in a wooden house. While I was in the dream I could hear noises from waking life. My sisters turned on the television and I could hear it while I dreamt. I would constantly have to re-stabilize in the dream by touching and looking to my hands and reapeating "Stabilize dream". It worked like a charm. Things would always be really clear. I suddenly saw my mom, dad, and sisters come into the strange house. I remembered that in waking life I had to get up early since my family and I had to go somewhere. For one moment I was half-awake but I went back to the dream by not moving. I flew upwards straight out of the ceiling again.I jumped back on track on trying to get to Denn. I suddenly saw WakingNomad and told him wer I was trying to get to. He took me straight to Denn suddenly and told me to get dressed up for my costume which was weird. Instead I headed straight into the forest of Denn it literally looked like medieval times. I went in the forest and saw a huge standing oval mirror. I looked in the mirror, re-stabilized myself in the dream and saw myself clearly. This is the first time I looked in the mirror in a dream. I saw how I looked. It was me. I looked like a WITCH dressed in some kind of red. Not all in red but I was wearing a red skirt and my top was light beige and pink kind of color like light salmon in color. I knew I was a witch when I stared at my reflection. I came back to the townsquare of Denn and there WakingNomad reappeared. He was about to go it seemed but then i said "I wanna share this dream w/ other ppl" Then he was like "follow me". We suddenly appear in a girl's house. The girl was on her bed, using a labtop. WakingNomad introduces me "This is Raven Knight ". All I could remember was that in the dream she had long straight hair. I asked her "You know this is a dream right?" She answered back "Yes." Then I said "Then y r u using a labtop?" lol. Raven then put the labtop aside for some reason. Suddenly my 2 sisters form earlier pop up agen. I said to WakingNomad and Raven Knight "Let's go guys!" I then try flying out of Raven Knight's ceiling. I break through the celing but there's another layer. WakingNomad then says " Raven has 30 layers up there" The I looked at the window but it wouldn't stay completely up for me 2 fly through it. So we walked out of the house. LOL. We were walking. It was daylight. We were walking on a cobbled sidewalk. It was some kind of old town. I don't know if we were still in Denn. I suddenly became bored of walking and started flying a couple inches off the ground. I summoned a hover board to come to me. Felt cool . Then suddenly my bf comes in and throws a reals sk8board to me. I'm suddenly skateboarding past WakingNomad nearly crashing into him. Suddenly I notice my 2 sisters following me. I then tell them to stay away or go away for some reason and they eventually did. As me, raven , and WakingNomad were walking/floating I woke up.

Completed the 1st task yay! I noticed in this dream, my control developed slowly within the dream but nonetheless I had fun!

[COLOR="silver"]I don't wake up to the timer anymore, only sometimes but I am not aware enough.
I think I need to WBTB for 5 minutes and then go to sleep instead of just snoozing like I have done before.

And well I didn't remember a single dream this night! I did remember on dream in the middle of the night, but as usual I convinced myself that I would remember it in the morning, because it was so clear. But no...[/COLOR]

Death Valley is a cold hearted place, only the strong survive, the weak perish under the blade of the Reaper, These are Chronicles of BlackRain..... This is MY world.... This is MY story...

Welcome everyone to my Dream Journal, I hope you enjoy your time in my corner of paradise.

[COLOR="silver"]I didn't use the timer method this night, because I didn't slept the amount of hours that is usually needed for me to hit the REM. But I got a false awakening instead, on which I could have realised that I was dreaming on, but I didn't reality checked so..[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I woke up and thought that even though I didn't use the timer I can still use this as a oppurtunity to DEILD, because I was aware of the awakening. So I closed my eyes and tried to DEILD. I expected nothing, because usually the dreamy feeling come by itself. And well nothing happend and I gave up. I got out of bed and ..[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I woke up in my bed, the real bed. And I realsied that if I just had reality checked it could have become a lucid dream... Anyway I fell asleep and dreamed again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I were in town and saw my friend driving a car, and this friend doesn't even have a driver's license, so this was weird. I went to my school and met my friends, I felt as something was wrong but I never realised anything.
[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]To morrow I will use the timer. But I am also gonig to do a nap attempt now. I have never done that before so I will see how it goes. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I did remember 4 dreams when I woke up this morning, usually I will remember them all they to when I write them down here and I usually also not them. But I didn't note them and I didn't remember them today...
I woke up the timer though, but when I did my DEILD attempt nothing happend, so I was probably not in REM.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I remember that I dreamt that I was in my old school. And I talked to some girl, but then I don't remember anything more.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I still think that this timer makes it easier for me to DEILD so I will keep using it.[/COLOR]

Sorry about the lack of updates, I have been sleeping with my computer turned off. It's great for increasing the vividness of dreams, but I've only been dreaming of sex for the last 3 days. As a personal rule I don't post sex dreams. Just wanted to update anyone who happened to follow my dream journal, thanks.

My current dream goal is: Draw the symbol on the ground and see what it does, I have a hunch it has something do do with either a portal, my dream guide, or both.

Wish me luck

Dream 1:
I am on a mission. Sark is there. I am transported from my small plane to the water. I travel on some strange box-like boat that can only fit one person into a cave at the edge of the water. My father is behind bars on one end of the cave, and Sark is behind bars at the other. They argue and eventually some kind of agreement is reached. As I am leaving, I mouth "you're good" to Sark, and feel quite stupid about myself for saying such strange things.



*Note: Sark is the villian in a series I am watching at the moment called Alias. He is quite a good looking villian

Dream 2:
I was in a fight between two teams in an arena. The arena appeared to be similar to the Colmen Centre at school (large indoor sports centre used for assemblies) and I was on the mezzanine floor near the far right corner. I played a very important role in the fight because I was the healer, and a very good one at that. I used my mind power to conjur coloured mists and lights around my fellow team members to heal them. I could also conjur red sparks to attack the other team. Sometimes I also summoned red clouds which caused intense itching. After a short struggle, we won the game.

When I finished I went down the stairs and sat on the ground with these two little girls. The ground was covered in brown bark, trinkets and toys. We picked up the toys with chocolate balls in them and popped the chocolate in our mouths. I decided I didn’t want to go back to class, instead I would stay here with the girls. One of the girls left and I discovered that the remaining girl was quite intelligent, despite her young age. We talked in all seriousness for a short time. Much to my dislike, the teacher that had been patrolling the area spotted me and the girl. However, she only told me to sit on a chair instead of standing up. Shoving an extremely tall chair beneath me, the teacher made sure I was sitting down and then left.

Eventually I decided I had to go back to class. But for some reason I was in Brisbane Grammar School (another school around my area) which was apparently connected onto my school. I tried to find my way out, seeing that there were many students that I recognized who were also lost and trying to find their way out. I followed them for a little bit, thinking it was better to stick with somebody I vaguely knew than to go off on my own in a foreign place.

I vaguely remember there being love in my dream, but I don’t remember if I was the one feeling it or somebody else was. Or possibly I was, then I changed characters. I specifically remember being with my close friend Amsie and there was a couple kissing next to us. We were laughing about it and timing how long they kissed for on my IPod. We recorded 2 minutes and 34 seconds.

I was in some kind of arena again. I was on one side of the arena, but I had to quickly get to the other before I became trapped by the water in between. The water was quickly rising and I had to race across the sand. There were others in front of me that seemed to have no problem with running across the sand, yet I was significantly slowed by it. However, I still made it in time.

The scene changed. An evil rainbow, white gremlin/alien creature forced me to become a replica of itself. The creature in fact, looked a little bit similar in body shape to Squidward from Spongebob. I had to go around a shopping centre and dance with a line of people in pretty dresses. Or, to be more accurate, dance with a line of dresses with people. Some of them judged me on my dancing out of 10. I specifically remember receiving a 4 because I did not know I was being judged. The second score I received was a 7, which I was quite happy with. At the climax of the dream, the police/judges discovered what the evil gremlin thing was. I waved my hands and signalled that I was just a replica. I was not the evil gremlin thing, it was. From there I had to run for my life around the supermarket to escape the gremlin. I shook off my disguise as I went. It all turned out well in the end, although I do not remember the specific ending.

Side notes: I woke up at about 2:00 am after my first dream, but did not wish to move and write it down. I regret this greatly as I can only remember a tiny fragment from this dream which at 2 am sounded amazing. I wish I remembered more from my second dream also, because I know there are exciting parts that I cannot recall.

Dream 1
I was in The Wire chilling with Chris Partlow for a drug delivery/ waiting to get picked upby Marlo. It was dark and there were 2 street lights as we stood in a corner waiting.



Dream 2

I was boarding a plane to Hawaii (sweet right?) and there was some turbulence. It was dark and stormy outside we had to do an emergency landing.

We went outside and some alien monsters were attacking us we had to fight them off. The natives there were brainwashed or fooled, because the aliens made themselves to seem like heroes protecting the island when they were actually killing off the population.


It seemed it was all a plan to get us to be fed to the aliens from the emergency landing even the air hosts were brainwashed and serving the aliens.

I tried to escaped to a plane on the island a few times but everytime they caught me and made me retreat. Eventually I got to the plane and when I ran through the doors I was in my house, once again I ran through the doors and was outside. I was being chased by the aliens.

I saw a British Gas van and ran in to the passenger seat. I saw one of my media teachers run out of my house too. I waited 3 seconds but thought forget it I wanna live so I drove away. I could feel the steering wheel and the cramped space of the van. I drove to a motorway and told myself I was lucid and "when I open my eyes I will be in a futuristic city".

When I opened my eyes I was there the surroundings where white and bright almost pristine clean. I then wanted to fly so my van turned into a bike and it had rockets on the back, I flew up and then the dream fades.

Side Notes

I'm sure it's a WILD as my mum told me to wake up but I went back to sleep.

[COLOR="silver"]This morning I actually got a lucid moment, so I would count that as a success and now I also know how I do it. So I learned something new today :) And this timer setup was with no doubt the best.[/COLOR]

[CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]2557[/ATTACH][/CENTER]
[COLOR="blue"]I dreamt that I was a smuf character and Gargamel was chasing me. I were on a graveyard and his cat was looking for me. I was hiding with the other smurfs in a plant, but Gargamal had hypnotised humans to look for us. So we were really scared. One of the smurfs started to run and he revealed where we was. So we had to run too.
I was chased by the cat and I were jumping longjump on the gravestones.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I woke up to the first alarm, swtiched position and fell asleep.[/COLOR]

[CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]2558[/ATTACH][/CENTER]
[COLOR="blue"]I was in a car and we were running from something (not as a smurf this time). And I challenged to help a guy drive the car, who didn't had a driverslicense, so I had to use the double commando on the right side in the right seat. He wasn't a bad driver so I barely needed to help him, but it was a scary dream, because he drove fast![/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I woke up again to the timer and now I felt so tired that I just closed my eyes and relaxed.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="lightblue"]I started to see my thoughts vividly and didn't even had to concentrate to make them appear. It was so vivid, I saw a guy and I heard him say "We need to run!"[/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]It was now a dream, and even though I didn't realised that I said "What! Not a chase again like my other 2 dreams..." "Common!" he yelled. Then I were doing le parkour through a city, it looked like Russia or something like that.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="red"]I stopped and realised that my thoughts were now so vivid that it must be a dream "Because I were in my bed before" I thought. I started to think on what I wanted to dream.
And in a blink the dream changed.

I was now standing in Gryffindoors door room, but it didn't looked anything like it, although I was convinced that it looked like that while in the dream. Then I went down to the great hall, by involuntary teleporting down there. I saw the sky in the sealing, but I got to foccused in the dream or something, because I lost my lucidity.[/COLOR][COLOR="blue"]I saw a skatingramp and Bam Magera, he said that it was his birthday and the whole school singed "Happy Birthday" to him. For some reason there was a stage that I got up on, and I started to play guitar songs like Green Day - TIme of your life, Oasis - Wonderwall. and Bam got a birthday present, a bulletproof vest... [/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I know now that all I have to do to get a lucid dream with the timer method, is to close my eyes and be aware of what I see. So I have to learn to get more aware on the awakenings.
It's like I am getting so tired that it's almost impossible to stay awake and I start to dream immediatelly. I will see if this work tomorrow as well, even if it was a short lucid dream. I am going to try the looking at the hands stabilisation technique, because that's a way to just stand still and not get involved with the dream again.[/COLOR]

Non-Dream

I was at my Nanny’s house. There was a toddler/baby there that I was to look after. We had fun singing Fireflies by Owl City in the garage and playing on bikes and scooters in the driveway. But then it began to rain. The rain was torrential. My Nanny put the baby in a cot/box, but it began to fill with water and the baby began to drown. With little time to spare, I picked up the baby and held it upright, banging on its back so that it coughed up water. It was then that I was captured.

I was in some kind of large building/institute. There were many people my age. I was waiting in line for something that everybody wanted desperately, but I was towards the back of the line. I decided to hop out of line and go sit in a corner by myself. It was just my luck that the head of the institute called random people close to him up, because I was sitting on the edge of his office/platform. With the selected few, he decided to send us on a mission.

Aliens. Our mission was to investigate and befriend aliens. This went quite smoothly at first. My team and I continued along on foot and found a few aliens. Some of the team were given special upgrades such as wolverine claws or sticky gummy string that came out of their hands. But when we went on the boat to find a certain type of alien, it all went wrong. The aliens looked like red daleks with three heads. Not the robot daleks, the flesh on the inside. The aliens were in a red blimp in the sky. The girl with string powers tried to fly her string up, but it was too short. Somehow, she figured out how to stretch it, and wrapped her string around a tube above her from which she swung herself up like Tarzan would swing from a vine.

I ran. I jumped. I was going to escape these terrible aliens. I don’t know how I knew they were terrible, I just knew. Somehow, I was teleported to the place in the institute where they held the trouble makers/evil children. I sat next to a girl with wolverine claws. There were lots of aliens around me that we had already researched. I got up to go investigate. There was a passage way with an adult and a small army in neat rows. Somehow I knew that the terrible red aliens would give an electric shock and do something to them, so I yelled out. But they wouldn’t listen, so I ran. It was too late. I was shocked by the wave. It appeared to be electric yellow sparks buzzing around everybody and everything. However, the wave only caused me to keep repeating my previous actions, like a glitch. I figured out how to bypass it, and then fixed the girl with wolverine claws. It was quite a task managing not to get cut by her claws.

Time jumped. I was on the second level of the institute. My friend Amsie was bragging about what she could do in a dream. She was talking about going to the dream academy and air bending. ‘Pfft, I already know about that!’ I thought. Then she continued talking about finding the portal to the dream academy. That was what triggered me to become lucid. I quickly pinched my nose and found I could breathe in. My dream was becoming unstable so I rubbed my hands together which began to fix the problem. Racing down the stairs I held onto the cool metal of the stair railing, gaining awareness of my surroundings. I examined the person in front of me in detail, indulging myself in my surroundings. Forgetting my dream goals, I decided to fly. It was quite easy, but I had a nagging feeling like I was forgetting something. I decided then that I wanted to try something that I hadn’t succeeded with for ages. I went down the stairs and pictured my friend coming around the next corner. They did, but they ran away and I never caught their face. I kept chasing but they disappeared every time I caught a glimpse of them. I believe this made me lose my lucidity somewhat.

All were called to arms. Everybody was in the institute and grabbed their backpacks from the massive towers that held backpacks. We all jumped up to the third floor of the institute. I followed an boy, even though he was slow because his backpack was heavy. I didn’t take a backpack because I figured it was a dream and I wouldn’t need it. We ran along a metal grid towards something.

Side notes: This was the only night since discovering Dream Views that I did not attempt any lucid dream induction techniques. I recall briefly focusing on a dream recall mantra, but nothing else. Next time I will lay out in my mind very clearly what goals I wish to achieve in my next lucid dream. In relation to the friend who ran away, I have received advice from a few Dream Views members and believe that I will be able to handle the situation better next time.

I was at a shop on a cliff next to a beach. My hockey coach, Emma, and hockey manager, Kristina, was there. My close friend Amsie was with me. We were testing a certain dark brown perfume but we spilt it and had to go through this huge process of putting it back in the bottle by switching the liquid from lid to bottle. We lost much of the liquid down the drain of a bath that we were using for accidental spills. Everybody else had left the shop besides us and the coaches because we were so slow. Eventually we had to pay for the perfume, but we got a discount because there was not much left.

I had bought a huge bowl of candy at the shop. I offered some of it to two old ladies when I sat down outside the shop, and they took some. I willed them not to take a specific piece of candy that I wanted, but they took it anyway. I hurried away because I had a hockey game. But when I got there I found I was dressed in my red stockings and sneakers. I ran down to the far end of the dark carpark outside the hockey place until I reached my parent’s car. They were there and listened patiently as I explained the situation. Luckily when I opened my school bag that was in the boot of the car, I found my yellow hockey socks.

Time jumped. I was late for hockey again. This time I must have left my socks at the car and the car was no longer there. I decided to stick my bare feet in my shoes without socks.

The scene changed. I was in a house and my friend D was there. He said he felt lonely. Strangely, I went in to kiss him, but he turned away.

“I didn’t mean it. I know you’re gay,” I said hurriedly.

Side notes: In real life, I only like D as a friend. He is certainly gay, and I only had feelings for him four years ago when I first met him and thought he was straight. So I am not going to make a big deal about the strange things I dream about. I had this dream/dreams after WBTB when I woke up at 4:00 am and went back to sleep. Haven’t achieved any lucids so far since joining, but I will keep trying :D
