[COLOR="silver"]This timer attempt was a disaster. I did my WBTB earlier so that I would have more time to dream, but instead I couldn't fall asleep at all. So I were fully awake through 3 alarms, then I gave up because it's was no point in laying still if I can't fall asleep. But when I tried to move I felt that I were in partial sleep paralysis, which means that if I could have endured one more alarm, I woul probably had come in full sleep paralysis! 3 alarms is 15 min + 8 + 4 = 27 minutes of laying still, and just focusing on falling asleep but failing. I did a reality check right after I gave up so it wasn't a false awakening.

At this time I didn't remember a single dream, so I turned the timer off and went to sleep to dream.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I don't remember exactly what I dreamt frst but I do have some fragments of it. I were in my cousin's house and he was moving out. So he offered me his gaming mouse, then he changed his mind. I then walked out of his house and to something that I think was supposed to be my home, but it doesn't look anything like it.

I was taking a cab and opened the left door and jumped out of it. I jumped high and almost reached the sky, but then I fell down on a grass hill that is outside my real house in my waking life. [/COLOR][COLOR="red"]From nowhere I realised that I was dreaming! For the first time in my life I remembered to do what I had planned in the dream when I get lucid, but for this time it was something totally different. The Lucidology workout said that I was going to wake myself up just to experience waking sleep paralysis, to do that I have to think of my sleeping body. So I started to think "Wow this is a dream, but now I want to wake up (thinking of my sleeping body). Everything turned black I had no weird sensations what so ever, but then I just found myself back on the grass hill again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I was dissapointed and woke up, I thought... It turned out later that this was still a dream.
So in my false awakening I got out of bed and wrote down my dreams on a piece of paper near my bed.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2442[/ATTACH]

I was now standing in a grocery store, but this one only sold tapas and snacks. My friends were there so we were appearantly going to have this for lunch. I had problems with picking the tapas food up, and then I fell and hit my head in the table.
I were now walking around dizzy and I bumped into my friend Simon and he dropped his tapas on the floor...
When my friends were long gone, I now hade trouble with deciding what to choose. Then when I finally made up my mind. I didn't know where my friends were. So I started to watch some tv and I was watching Urban Legends, but the show was more like Myth Busters. On this episode they were going to see if they could determine if the water in a lake is shallow or deep by the temperture of the water, I saw a girl dive into the water. Then suddenly I was there!
I swam a few lenghts with her and there were 15 other girls and then I also saw my friends on the other side.
I started to swim my fifth lenght, but then I realised something embarrasssing. I was naked!
For a really weird reason I turn to the hottest girl of them all and points down and say "Ehrm I need to you know get underwear" and she said "that's cool you can come and change with me later" Relieved I then heard my friend pointing and laughing. Then I walked away with the hot girl and thought "HA jokes on you!"
...No I am lying I woke up and felt naked and embarressed[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Then I was going to add this dream to the notes, and I saw that there was no other dreams added!
So here I realised that I had had a False Awakening.

Tomorrow I will WBTB early again, but to make sure that I can fall asleep I will get back to sleep immediately.[/COLOR]

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been as active in the DV community as of late, I was (and still kind of am) going through a bit of a dry spell so I am focusing on meditation and WILD technique.

So this isn't really a dream entry but some stuff I thought would be cool to get down about my experimentation with sleep paralysis. For the past couple of weeks I've been allowing my body to go numb and enter into sleep paralysis while keeping my mind awake. I have been doing this successfully by laying flat on my back on my bed and allowing my body just to get taken by the feeling of the paralysis. I haven't been able to fall asleep in this state however. I mean its good for experimentation but sucks when I can't go to sleep. I don't usually sleep lying on my back so my mind doesn't want to go to bed when I do this.

At first I just would lie there and let my mind wonder and let my body just slip into SP. I would feel like I was in that roller coaster ride "The Gravatron." (where you are pinned to the wall and can't move) I was pinned to my bed and it almost felt like my bed had flipped over and I was stuck to it as if it were the ceiling. I would be hanging over a bottomless pit. I would do this nightly. Eventually it wouldn't take hardly any time at all for me to get into SP.

Last night I had sort of a break through of sorts. I have been researching into occult practices, and I had read of a practice that if you meditate while laying down, and you place a crystal in each hand, and one on your chakra point on your forehead (your third eye) you would "charge" or enhance your psychic ability. I tried such a method last night. I even had a particular crystal that is supposed to help with dream vividness and recall. I placed this one on my third eye.

The SP felt like normal at first, my limps going numb and everything. But I started to feel a weight press down right on my rib cage and my stomach. Then I felt a weight on my head, ( I could actually feel my head sink into my rather firm pillow). I didn't think anything of it til something just kicked in. I am not sure what it was or what it means but I was just lying there thinking about random thoughts (I.e. what I have to do before work the next day..etc) Then all those thoughts went silent, in fact ALL of my thoughts were cut off and my mind was completely clear. And it was like my thoughts were cut off mid sentence. Right after my mind just cut off my thoughts I immediately began to hear a low "hum" or more like I could hear a vibration. A few seconds after this started a high pitched ring was layered over top of the vibration. I had no control over this and I couldn't really think of anything else, it was like all my brain wanted to do was listen to this hum.

I opened my eyes and could see the air swirl in spirals above me. And that's when the ride started.....my body began to feel like it was stuck to the bed again, only this time it felt like I was never going to move again and I felt like my entire bed was rotating and spinning while I was strapped down. The crystals felt very warm and almost hot in my hands. The crystals almost rolled out of my hands (or at least it felt like this while my bed was spinning) and I had to enclose my fingers around them to keep them in place.

I think this went on for a good half hour to 45 min before I snapped back to this plane, put the crystals away, and went to bed.

Went to bed at 5 am put alarm at 10 am. I woke up naturally on 8 am. Still tired, headache and i didn't recall a thing. Then i did nomad's trance recall and i remembered fragments from this lucid dream i just had. :O

Dream #1

I recall myself doing very short mantras last night. And visualizing practice. I kind of recall doing a reality check in my dream while riding a bike. Took me about 2 minutes to determin if i was actually dreaming or not. I went flying. At first i fell like i was gonna fall but then i just remembered to float instead of fly and it worked. I flew around little houses . I remember being on the ground again and prowling around looking for stuff to do. I climbed over a wall into a backyard and as i was doing that i was thinking if sex would really be the same in a dream. The last thing i remember is that there was a naked girl with tiny titties sitting across of me. She gave me instructions on what to do. She said, touch my right boob like this and say Yes. If you touch my left boob like this you have to say No. And you have to say it like this ; Noooooooooooooo.
I touched her left boob and said Noooooooo. And i woke up. i think.


Went back to bed after a shower. fragments again.
Dream #2

I was riding my bike and i ran into my friend's dad Hassan who was also riding a bike. He told me "It's about time you get a job already. You can come work at my place we need you there." I said "now? I'm just headed to school right now i can't go with you."
He hesitated and said well it's up to you but we could really use you. I said fine. Nevermind school let's go. I was still contemplating in my mind if i really wanted to do this cus he does have a big restaurant now and they almost only serve meat products. Not sure if i'm up for frying them all day.
Anyway i joined him and the next thing i recall is riding my bike coming from the restaurant's direction towards school. I thought i was with Hassan riding besides me but when i'm thinking of this scene i remember a really big and broad black man riding besides me. Possibly with sunglasses.
There was something really cool about this guy and when i was riding on the Boschdijk there where youth's from school walking around the sidewalks and i saw a lot of people looking at him in awe.

I remember fragments of being at school once. Taking a seat in the middle of the class. Alone.
I was at home and i was telling my mom about my dream with Hassan. I said that he got a job for me. Even tho i only dreamed it im pretty sure he really wants me to work there.

Then i remember going into class again. We where outside going into a Bus. Our classroom was located in a bus. (not 100% sure.. but i think so, atleast something like a bus) I went to sit next to Inge. One seat behind where i sat last time. Atleast i thought i was going to sit next to her cus then i realized i sat next to another girl and Inge was sitting next to her.

Notes
Non-Lucid
Lucid

I've had 8 LDs and my dream always ends by the door of any house i wake up in and i just couldn't go outside

I wake up in my bed and my grandmother comes into my room with a tuxedo and a plate which has food on it , she starts telling me something about the food , she picks a piece of the plate , it looks like a wrapped pasta with sauce(?).I suddenly think "My grandmother in a tuxedo, what the hell?" that tells me to do a reality check.
I look around the room and see sun shining outside the window .I won't do the same mistake again , so i open the window.I touch the window glass ,its cold , really realistic.i jump out and start walking towards the exit to the street, it's quite chilly outside.I wake up

[COLOR="silver"]On this Wake Back to bed I were only up to go to the bathroom and I did put on socks to keep my feet warm, then I fell asleep with the timer on. A great tip that helped me fall asleep, focus on your breathing, if you are really good at meditation you might keep awake, but if your not you will black out.
I counted up to 5 alarms before I started to have a dream[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I were on a school and was going to park my bike, but I just couldn't lock it. So I stood there for a long time and raged over my bike.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Then the sixth alarm woke me up, and I blacked out again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I was watching Tom and Jerry, but not from a TV perspective I was there and I was transformed into a cartoon bear. Some of my friends thought it was a game and I chased them. Then I couldn't find them anyway, so I looked out through the window and saw that they were out on the garden. I climbed out to the high roof[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]and the phantom beep from the alarm made me aware I guess, because it came from nowhere. I looked down on my worried friends and I thought that I really should try to fly down from here. But how? If I don't believe it I will fall straight down. I thought "I will do it I am AWESOME!" So I took a leap of faith, but it was a bumpy fly attempt, because I didn't really had control over it. And because of that I lost my lucidity immediately...[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]The dream continued and I crash landed on a hill and started to roll down in pain. Then my friends just stopped playing and looked at me with sad faces. I asked what's going on? And then I saw a newpaper with a picture of my mom and the headline said (I don't remember) but for some reason I realised that she was dead. So I started crying, but then the dream morhped into a tv-serie I can't even explain it because nothing maked sense. It was wierd.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I then woke up in my bed.. When I wrote this DJ entry I knew what alarm I were on, but while I was doing this I had no idea, so when I woke up I thought I had missed the 20 minute intervalls, so I tried to go back to sleep, but I just couldn't. And I gave up and looked at the timer and saw that I had slept through all the alarms, and the reason to that I became lucid was the phantom beep.
But in the future I have to be more aware of what alarm I am on, and every time I get lucid I have to remember to stabilize.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]This time I did not wake up in sleep paralysis. Instead I woke up with a really strong feeling of failure. I were one alarm from the 20 minute interval, which is were I usually wake up in sleep paralysis, but this time I instead got out of bed because a strong feeling of failure. Then I went back to sleep and had some normal dreams.

Right now I am foccusing on just to get some free OBEs/lucid dreams with the timer method and when I am used to the awake and asleep treshold, I will start to use some Lucidology techniques to make me control the transition myself.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I were standing on a beach and me and my friend Astrit found a boat. We took the boat and were just about to take of, but then we heard som people screaming at us. "Hey what the F* are you doing?!", it was a blonde tall man and I got the impression that he was a brat. We started fingting and I fell into the water and the dream changed.[/COLOR]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2441[/ATTACH]

[COLOR="blue"]I had a barbecue with my friend Andriano and a girl named Amanda. Amanda called me out in the gardeb and told me that I had to try to lay in the hammock. I had trouble with getting up in the hammock without falling down, when I finally got up Amanda crawled up and were laying next to me. I felt embarressed and my feelings started to go crazy. Then another girl walked into the garden. Her name was Johanna and then the dream ended. [/COLOR]

My recall for this night is rather fragmented.


I am in Italy on vacation. For some reason I am trying to rent some kind of special room to hold a big dinner and invite a lot of friends.
Then I remember that I'm on vacation, so my friends are actually far away, but somehow I don't consider this an issue...

... I'm having said dinner, however I'm on some kind of cruise ship.
After the dinner I'm walking through the corridors of the ship, trying to find my room.
Somehow I don't know where my room is at all, but I seem to believe that I'll find it by just randomly walking around anyways...

I wake up and attempt to WILD but I fall asleep too quickly.

I am with other people in an unknown location. There is some sort of meeting.
Why am I here again? It feels like I was drawn to this place by a higher force.
I gradually become moderately lucid.
The people I'm meeting with claim to be dreamers. I must have somehow stumbled into a shared dreaming experiment...

... Some of the people, including myself, have gone on some sort of quest.
We're walking a path which supposedly leads towards our goal, though I have no idea what it is.

There's a guy in armor leading the way.
Then there's a girl who caught my attention because she's wearing a rather revealing outfit.
Another guy is walking with us. He's very talkative and seems to be very interested in me.
He keeps bugging me about Yuya, which I find sort of annoying.
There's two more guys, but I can't remember anything about them.

The girl is trying to show me how she can create ice crystals at will, but the annoying guy is heating up the spot where she tries to create ice crystals
with fire magic every time she attempts to show me.
I find this somewhat amusing.

The guy in armor is acting quite weird.
He has long black curly hair, and has a tendency to come very close to you when he's talking with you, opening his eyes widely.
At one point I tell him:

"You're weirding me the fuck out mate"

He just laughs...

... We reach a tower on top of a cliff and climb all the way up.
Apparently the goal was to come here, I don't really get why.
Everyone but the guy in armor, the girl and me have disappeared by now.

The guy in armor starts swinging his arms around wildly making magical noises and finally vanishes.

"Right... now that was properly weird."
"Yes..."

I look at the landscape. It is very beautiful.

"Hey. Wanna fly?"
"Oh... no. I can't fly."
"What? Bollocks, all dreamers can fly."
"Well maybe, but I can't fly yet."
"Sure you can, it's easy."
"For you maybe..."
"Well listen, with that attitude it's no wonder you have trouble flying."
"..."
"Come here, I'll show you."

We approach the edge of the tower. It's a very long way down from here.

"Now what... don't tell me you want me to jump!"
"Free your mind."
"What?"
"Free your mind!"
"Okay..."
"It's safe... it's all safe"
"Right."

I gently push her off the edge and as she realizes she's going to fall she starts screaming.
Somehow I find this funny. I know she isn't in any real danger.
I jump after her and catch up.

"You fucking asshole!"
"Haha, calm down"
"I HATE FALLING!"
"Then fly?"
"Fuck you!"
"Aww come on. I'm not gonna let you fall all the way down."
"Now what?"
"Fly!"
"HOW?"
"What did I tell you?"
"Free my mind..."

The air surrounding her suddenly becomes turbulent and she starts slowing down.
She's very occupied with slowing down, and we come to a full stop about a meter over a lake.

"See, that wasn't so bad!"
"You could have said something instead of pushing me..."
"Maybe..."

I drop down onto the lake and walk on the water.
That clearly makes her curious and she stops flying assuming she'll be able to walk on the water as well.
But she drops right into the lake, which I find quite funny.
She flies back out and gives me a very accusing look.
I say laughingly:

"What? You asked me how to fly, now how to walk on water!"

Before I get to the prince part, I was in a drive-by. I know the drive-by dream was long and vivid, but I woke up and went back to sleep and now I don't recall it so well. In fact, I JUST remembered it. There was a long ordeal, me and some other people were running. I don't think I was involved in this "gang" if you call it that, but I was tagging along with them and I can vaguely recall some familiar faces. The only parts I really remember was being in a house, one of our people was injured and they were off in the kitchen. I was standing next to the door. Someone yelled "drive by!" and I got down in time to the floor. They started shooting up the house and then some of the rival gang were coming in. As they reached the door, I pretended I got shot. I started holding my neck and gasping, doing my best to pretend. One of them rushed passed me to the kitchen and another stayed and she put her hand out to see if I was really dying, to check my pulse or something. I pretended it hurt really bad and started gasping again and turned away. Next thing I know I'm running across a parking lot trying to dial 911. The lady I called was talking about how she would have to investigate if it involved gangs. I said fine, that they needed to send an ambulence. I even had the address. I gave it to her and suddenly I'm walking into walmart. That's all I remember.

So, the prince dream. I go to this mansion to visit my fiance, it was incredibly beautiful.



It was just like this, middle of the ocean, but more round and more glass. I realize that T's a prince, but I'm visiting him like we're dating again or something. I remember laying on the couch with him in one room, and there was a sun roof. The clouds were incredible, unreal, even. They looked like a painting and I was in awe of them. T even asked me if I could be dreaming. I said nooo way (damnit.) His little brother had come down and had my son's pacifer in his mouth (his brother is 9 years old.) I took it out of his mouth and told him to go get his other one from upstairs, then me and T laughed as he walked away. T got up to do something and I browsed around. I found these shirts in these tubs, and was trying to compose an outfit for myself. I tried on a few shirts. All of the shirts had some funny comments on them. One was like.. a picture of a comic, it was familiar, it might have been an anime, but it had some joke on it that I really didn't get. Some of the shirts made me think that he had bought them for his ex-girlfriend, which kind of made me feel like shit. Anyway, he comes back and says let's take a ride in the ocean. I didn't even know we were on the ocean yet, but when we got outside, we rode these jet ski's out pretty far. That's when I got a view of the house. There was a random bar in the middle of the ocean out there. We stopped to get a drink but I started to get scared, because it was small and the waves were even rushing over it. Then I saw a shark under the water and me and T took off, and this sounds weird, but we started riding these two mexican servants. O.o

We get back in time and it was like a race. I pull myself up onto a ledge, still freaking out about a shark being in the water. We go inside and we're in the living room with some of T's family. I start to walk into another room but I hear part of the conversation from the mexicans. They were saying that no one took Spanish classes anymore, but that they had gotten good jobs for it. I turned and said, hey, I'm taking a Spanish class this semester! They both smiled at it and I said, when I come back on the weekends you two will have to help me out. They laughed and said of course. Then I walk into this middle room. I asked T what it was supposed to be. There were shelves everywhere, but a couch and what not. He just said it was the back room and I said, "well, you need to do some rearranging." lol

This is pretty much all I remember now. I can't express how real everything felt. I woke up pretty happy.

I recently started with the Lucidology 102 program, so my primary goal right now is to get to waking sleep paralysis.
I Wake Back to Bed 6 hours and I stayed up for 35 minutes not sure of what I was going to spend that time on, but I used it for the Lucidology 101 part 5 Relaxation techniques.
Then I went back to bed and start doing Stop, Drop and Roll and the Sleep starters that he mentioned in Lucidology 101 part 4.
I know what misstake I did, but that doesn't mater here. But anyway I did get to partial sleep paralysis, but at that time I thought I had failed for some reason, so I started daydreaming, and blacked out, and started a normal dream immediately.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2433[/ATTACH]
[COLOR="blue"]
I was dreaming that I were on my way home from the gym. I was taking the bike the same way home that I usually take when I get home from the gym, but this time an old creeepy man was following, but there was also a nice looking girl on a bike next to me. The creepy man started to talk to the girl and said "Hey hot stuff! What year were you born?"
She answered 1992" I thought hmm only one year older than me .. nice. Then the old man dissapeared and the girl stopped and yelled to me "Hey stop you haven't fixed my website yet" but I didn't remember a thing about fixing a website and to a girl this hot, I don't think I would ever forget.
I realised that this girl was the girl from the Kick-ass movie, then I woke up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I woke up and wrote down some keywords from the previous dream, then I fell asleep again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I am waking inside a store and I don't know exactly how,[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]but I realised that I was dreaming. I were not lucid enough to remember to sabilize the dream correctly, but I screamed "I am dreaming" and while I was screaming I become more and more aware, so aware that I was afraid that I had screamed for real aswell. I met two of my friends and I knew they were DC:s but I still wanted them to be as excited as I was for my lucid dream. So opened a door and imagined a playboy mansion, but when I opened the door I were just out on a street and[/COLOR] [COLOR="royalblue"]I lost some of my awareness, but not entirely. I asked a random DC if they knew were I could find my Dream guide. He answeered by pointing to a bunch of people sitting on a bench, so I walked to them and was about to ask, but then one of them screams "NO I DON't KNOW!"
So I walked to a another bench and asked "Hey are you dream guides?" "Yes we are" they said. Then I followed one of them which looked like my old school mate Kenny. We went to a dark forrest path and then he started running around and then he just stopped and started dancing silly and laughed out "Haha I have no idea what a stupid dream guide is.[/COLOR] [COLOR="silver"]And I woke up pretty disappointed...[/COLOR]

Crazy dreams last night. I'm surprised I even remembered them, they were surprisingly vivid for me being incredibly drunk. I can't remember the order of events really, and I do believe it was all the same dream. I'm just going to log them how I think it might have went.

I remember being at a pool with my son, an indoor pool. Then I was at this house with my sister and she had some friends over. I was standing in a long hallway and her friends were behind me. I thought they were acting kind of stupid, loud and obnoxious. I had walked past them and made a comment about dumb bitches. They started teasing me. I sort of ranted at them for a minute before I realized they were making gestures with their hands on their stomachs. I got the idea that they were saying I was a dumb bitch for like.. having a kid or something. I got pretty pissed off when I thought they were talking about my son. I went up to them, my sister watching with surprise, and I sort of shoved them. "You think I'm a bitch for being a mother?" I said. We started fighting, but for some reason they're movement was slow and predictable. They would swing at me and I just grabbed their hand and misdirected it. Then I took a few swings. Since there were two of them, I got caught up slapping this bitch around that the other one decided to throw a punch. I remember being surprised by it and barely grabbed her hand before it hit my face.

After this, I'm back at the pool, but I had left my son at home for some reason. I was checking the place out before I went back to get him and I see this girl that used to work with me and she had two kids with her. She said something about sitting around the house got boring. There were a bunch of computers set up, like library computers, next to the pool. Everyone was playing the sims, like it was some kind of lan party. Tommy Chong was there and some other old hippie lady that I recognized IN the dream, but have no idea who she was now. There was some conspiracy about the sims and they were getting riled up about it, like someone had been messing them up. I had sat down at one of the computers at one time and was playing the sims, but I had to log on. I had asked someone next to me how we save the game and they raised their eyebrows. Then they asked me if I had an EA account. I said yea, and typed it in. I get up to go outside and I realize I'm on the college campus. I started to walk home and after about a block I turned right and there was an empty parking lot and across from it was a tall fence that had a bunch of houses behind it. A car comes from around the corner of the fence. It's these guys that look like they're all in their 30's. They were like, small-time business types. All wearing polos. The driver was yelling at me and they were all laughing making fun of me. They wouldn't leave me and they were moving along slowly beside me and kept yelling things. Finally I decided to pick up a few rocks and throw it at their car. The car was shiny silver, sort of looked like a bmw, Idk. I threw the rocks one at a time and they hit, but not very hard. The driver finally speeded up.

Don't remember much else, at the moment. Except I think I went back to the pool and those guys in the car had apparently been harrassing people around these parts. Strange crazy dreams. I also seemed to have a false awakening. I had gotten out of bed and went and got a glass of water with a LOT of ice and could've swore I had a conversation with my fiance about the details from last night's drunkeness. I woke up with deja vu and went and got a glass of water and talked to my fiance. lol Crazy night.

Dream turn into a dream fragment but I remember the dream again.

Then I fell back to sleep and it became nothing.

This is the first time in a long time that I have nothing to report.

With yesterdays successful DILD, I decided to attempt to WILD today.
I set myself an alarm to go off after 5 hours of sleep, but I fell back asleep immediately after turning off the alarm. ~_~

I'm at some sort of party, but it all seems a bit weird.
There's mostly older people, and everyone is dressed very nicely.
I notice that I myself am wearing a suit.
The place has an absolutely huge dance floor, and everyone seems to be dancing.
I feel completely out of place and sort of at a loss what to do.
I'm not just going to ask a random 40 year old women to dance now am I? Plus I can't really dance...
I walk towards what seems to be a bar, contemplating to awkwardly have a drink while everyone else is dancing.

But on my way to the bar I notice that the lighting in this place is rather odd.
Everything seems so... gray?
It's not like everything is lacking color, but everything seems so desaturated and sort of sad.

But then I see her, the women in red.
She's wearing a really nice red dress and seems to completely violate the current lighting setup in this room.
Even though everything else is desaturated and lacks contrast, her dress is extremely bright, to the point where it nearly blinds me.
My curiosity draws me towards her, and as I get closer, I realize who it is... Yuya!

As I become lucid, all the colors become brighter, and the whole scene becomes somewhat normally lighted, except for Yuya, who still stands out quite a bit.
She's the only one by herself, and is just standing there in the center of the dancefloor.
Trying not to get too excited, I approach her. She doesn't see me coming because she's staring in the opposite direction, but she probably knows that I'm approaching her anyways.
As I get closer I'm a bit surprised to see that her hair is all wet.
I whisper in her ear:

"Wanna dance?"
"Of course!"

We start to dance to some music I don't really know. I'm a bit worried that I might suck at dancing, but everything works out surprisingly well.
Her wet hair smells of Teraluna.
The dancing is rather energetic, we turn around quickly and the background turns into motion blur, so I can only see Yuya clearly.
This makes it rather difficult not to stare at her, especially because she has those extremely beautiful and bright eyes with infinite details.
The glowingly bright dress isn't really helping either.
But after some time I manage to relax and enjoy the dance.
Everyone else appears to go away, leaving the dance floor to Yuya and myself.

It's a bit weird seeing her in a red dress. She's always wearing white, blue or green, basically cold colors, which are dominant in my dreams.
My last dream already featured a surprising amount of warm colors, how weird. Has something changed?
We dance for some more without talking. We share some thoughts which I unfortunately cannot remember.

The dream starts to fade away and I know there is no way to stabilize it. Somehow I'm aware that it's late and I'm waking up.
I give Yuya a big hug and the dream ends.

So I was walking.. like walking towards a school, but it wasn't my school. I was drinking a 4 loko, except.. It actually tasted pretty good; Because it didn't have those other additives like Guarana or Taurine. So next thing I know I was in a place, which resembled my cafeteria from 8th grade. When you walking you a giant room. With all tables. In this dream... There were so many people. There are 3 different cafeterias. The last cafeteria was my 8th grade one.. I walked in and sat with these random people. I may have seen them before but I can't remember them. So one was smoking marijuana and I was drinking my 4 loko in water bottle mixed with something else... I don't quiet remember this was my 3rd dream in a night. I put away what I had and then I appeared in a classroom, I was demanded by some power that I had to take these folders to an attendance office. So I looked at them and they had names on each one except they were Manila folders. Each empty I had to take them. So I finally got to the office.. and my dream ended.

This was a weird dream I know lol. But it came pretty going in my memory Vitamin B-6 pills are helping

So here's a tip:
If you ever find yourself with no time to lucid dream, do NOT stop updating your dream journal. :/
I stopped updating mine for a few weeks, and when I tried to LD again I noticed my dream recall was nearly nonexistent.
It took me the past two weeks to have a moderately long lucid, and going through this after having had sort of regular lucids is quite a frustrating experience.
So yeah, dream journals seem to be quite a bit more important than I thought.
Anyways, enough rambling.


I'm taking a bath. The water is very soapy and I'm sort of lost in thoughts.
Somehow I feel that it is weird that I have a bathtub, I used to have only a shower.
But I make up some excuse to justify the presence of the tub and continue idling.
I think about a girl I met a few days ago for some reason, and suddenly I notice that someone is with me in the bathtub.
There's a naked girl right in front of me, though not the one I was thinking of, I don't know her.

I don't really realize that this situation is weird, I even sort of ignore the girl until I feel the urge to touch her arm because I have the impression that it's supposed to feel weird.
I touch her arm and gently brush over it with a finger, and I notice that it feels extremely realistic even though it shouldn't.

Wait... why is it supposed to... oh!
Am I dreaming?
I look at the girl, whom is smiling at me and she proceeds to vanish into thin air.
I am now certain that I am dreaming, but I feel the urge to RC, I feel like I need the shock of awareness.

As I do the nose pinch RC I remember that I haven't RC'ed like this in a long time.
Usually I just become aware that I am dreaming, or I realize inconsistencies as to how I ended up where I am.
I think I stopped doing 'standard' RC's after WakingNomad had suggested other forms of increasing awareness on these forums.

The RC succeeds and I get quite excited that I finally induced an LD again, and I immediately feel the urge to do something with the limited time that is given to me.
I jump out of the tub ready to search my house for anything exciting.

Stop! What am I doing?
I haven't stabilized the dream, I'm running around aimlessly, this is bad!
I try to calm down and attempt to stabilize the dream.
That was close, my surroundings had already darkened quite a bit.

I try to open a portal on a wall. I have no destination in mind, I have no goals and just seem to do the first thing that crosses my mind.
As I walk through it I wonder why I've bothered with a portal when I can just teleport with my wings, plus I'm assuming the portal won't work
because I haven't set a destination... but it does!

I find myself in the desert, on a sand dune.
This is odd, usually my dreams are dominated by cold colors and watery landscapes.
This is pretty much the exact opposite.
I see some construction work going on and approach it.
As I look at my surroundings, I realize that I must be in the past, considering what people are wearing and the kinds of buildings that exist.

This place seems oddly familiar though... and then I finally get it.
They're building the pyramids! I'm in Egypt!
Of course! I've been here before in waking life, how interesting!

"It is, isn't it?"
"Yeah..."

Huh? It's the girl from the bathtub again, except she's dressed now.
She's wearing some sort of white gown and her hair is braided.

"You're the girl from before!"
"Yeeees... ?"
"Do I know you?"
"... are you fucking serious?"
"Err... oh! Faye?"
"Yes Faye! Dude!"
"I'm sorry... haven't had a lucid in a while, I feel like I've forgotten everything"
"You'll be fine."
"Yeah this is good, if I remember this dream it'll boost my confidence."
"Good good, time to wake up now."
"Huh, why?"
"Your phone is ringing"

I wake up and sure enough, my mobile is ringing.
