Somehow I remembered almost almost 10 different scenes from last night, I'll only briefly describe each so this isn't a massive text block. First my Grandma and Grandpa were at my house picking something up, they needed help lifting it into the car and I remember going back and forth into the garage for something. I must mention my Grandma passed away a year ago and I did not pick up on this, she also did not speak in the whole scene, weird. Next my friend was over at my house and we went outside to drive somewhere and noticed a huge party going on down the street. There were tons of people and I saw one of my buds walking to it, he said I should come, I looked in the house and then the dream skipped. After that it skipped to me being at a Rush concert with tons of buddies. It was in a small venue (which was awesome) and I remember going into the house right beside it for some things and my buddies and I chilled in there for a bit before returning. Good concert, great night. It skipped again, and I believe I was now at my Uncle's house. He's not that rich, but somehow he had a turbo-prop plane parked on the lake (one of those small sea planes). It was red, and he told me to take it out. So I started to fly it( I don' remember taking off), but it was on autopilot. I assumed he wanted me not to fly it and just let it drive me, but then I found that I could turn it off. I turned it off, and started flying freely. It was a weird flight, not like a plane but more like me flying in a lucid (slower, easier to turn, hard to do anything radical). I flew over a field where a bizarre game was taking place involving hundreds of guys smashing some object around that kind of floated. I was struggling to keep the thing airborne because of the distraction. I eventually flew normally, and did a fast turn towards this long landing strip (water) in the woods. I don't remember landing, but soon after talked to my aunt who I assume owned the landing strip and she began to tell me random stuff. I left afterwards, and you had to swim to get out. There were all these water slide tubes sitting in that mini lake that you had to swim through to get out into the bay (of the original lake). I found a way out but it didnt look safe.... I took it anyways. I found my self in a place that looked exactly like this: There was no vegetation on the arch and it was all bare limestone. I swam through it after I lost my shoes(and my aunt laughing at me for it). My uncle suddenly found me and drove me home in a boat. On the boat, was my aunt(somehow) and my parents. They told me my sister had some flu and that she might not make it. I was then back home talking to them about the sickness and I was very worried. The dream skipped, and I found myself with a buddy in a building that resembled my residence here at school. We wanted to go somewhere so we took the elevator, and it got stuck. We waited for a while and something happened but I can't remember what. After we finally got out, I was then by myself and proceeded to take a glorious shower. The shower I took was better than any shower I've ever taken for some reason.... damn it was great. I remember finishing, then the dream ended. Thanks for reading
Somehow I remember this a while after I woke up it all came rushing back. I remember the start to be at my aunts house trying to find patches to quit smoking and I don't smoke... Anyways I asked if I could go to the store to buy them. She said no to me and this is my aunt, not my Mom so that was also weird. Then I went outside to see snow everywhere and all around my car. I started to walk to the store when my Dad appeared and interrupted my mission to get these patches(I believe i forgot about the patches at this point because later I never drove near a store). So i walked back with him and shoveled the snow around my car. I drove down the driveway which was around a kilometer long right to a street cutting across it diagonally. I stopped for the sign, and suddenly a snowmobile drives across the intersection and does a backflip without going off a jump in like 10 feet. Basically this: In ten feet. Epic. What happened next was even weirder as somehow I was now the guy driving the snowmobile down the narrow main street. There was no lapse in time or apparent relocation of my body, so I assume my brain invented false memories to allow this to make sense. After that weird instant, I noticed dozens of cops chillin on the sides of the road, suddenly noticing my presence and a pursuit began between me and a jeep(military) with some woman cop in the back. She had a bull horn and was yelling and screaming through it telling me to pull over. I was annoyed seeing as I did nothing wrong. I stopped, then they pulled off and raced down the main street out of sight. Then, the dream skipped and I had stopped to enter the basement of some building. There were a bunch of kids in the basement and one asshole with a baseball bat threatening to beat them up. I walked over and he advanced on me. I stayed still, and held my ground. I didn't move and told him that he won't do shit with that bat, after much staring and intimidation. He stopped being tough, so I rallied the kids (16 years old-ish) to beat this ass up and I remember the advance of people towards the guy with the bat, but the dream skipped again. I think I woke up for a few seconds and then went back to sleep to find myself in a room like my dorm here at school. The room was a huge, tall ceilinged brick walled white room. I noticed a stove that was on(weird) but then everything changed and my Dad and Sister were now in front of me in a line to some counter. There were lots of old geezers standing around waiting too. My Dad said something and then busted out a cigar. He took a toot off of it then I got it somehow. I smoked it like crazy and it was a delicious, amazing cigar. After I smoked it for a while it went out and the dreams ended altogether. Thanks for reading
I can only remember fragments from last night but I can remember a few parts that were vivid. My friends and I were at some amusement park and were on a ride that you are elevated upwards in a cage and then dropped until you slow down at the end. However one my buddies was riding on the outside of the cage for some reason. We went on the ride again after he survived however we were with our parents this time as well. He decided to ride the outside but lost his grip and was killed on the way down it was bizarre and terrible at the same time. After this dream I proceeded to have a false awakening at my home 200 kilometers away (im in Uni right now staying there) which I can barely remember and I awoke thinking that 'it was just a dream'. I then started speaking to my family about the dream I just had right after a false awakening I can't remember their replies and that was all I can recall.
Before writing out the whole dream, I have to mention becoming lucid, but immediately and with no reason it faded away and a recurring dream happened again. I remembered to look at my hands in my house, saw them with too many fingers and new what was going on (i also noticed the wrong time and it was 11 something and the digital clock was working). I had that huge feeling of excitement but I maintained a calm mind, I don't know how it immediately disappeared.... Anyways this recurring dream was the same half way through but I remember new parts to it including the beginning. This one is from another WBTB but I was not lucid. I've had this dream 3 times now and I even remembered during the dream what the guy was going to do next although it was a bit different this time. The feeling was like when you've seen a movie before and you kind of remember whats going to happen... Anyways this started out at this massive industrial complex with steel, concrete and huge windows. For some reason at the end of the dream I was working for Julian from Trailer Park Boys to steel this thing for him (which is f-in awesome and I responded like Ricky at one point). This object we were stealing is from some extremely rich and powerful man, yet his employees are very, very, dumb. So it started out with me and some other guy I think it was a friend of mine yet I can't remember. We broke into this complex on the east side I can't remember how but it was through this huge room on the corner. My recall is fuzzy at this point as I don't remember getting to the object, just grabbing it and all hell breaking loose. This part of the dream is the part I can always remember: This time we were running away from 2 people one had a bow and arrow and just sucked ass at using it.... The other just ran. The two pursuers were sent by the rich man who owned this object. This chase occurred in the basement room of the complex which had long walkways over water with guard rails lining the sides. We were 100 meters ahead and I was basically watching these arrows come towards me and then just stepping out of the way (I remember the guy saying f*ck! and getting all pissed off cause he sucked..). Then, I remember this part vividly and it was a hilarious beat down. So the 2 people finally caught up but this was because they were now in front of the exit we needed to take, but there was a gap between the walkway and the exit hallway and we needed to jump it. The encounter started out as such: the two losers were yelling at me and my forgotten friend from across the gap. There was a floating staircase (it was aluminum and it still floated somehow) and I jumped for it just as one of the pursuers tried and landed in the water. I remember kicking the guys face or something and then jumping onto the floor on the other side. After that, all 4 of us were on the one side leading to the exit and this is were the fight broke out. The two pursuers were kind of as dumb as Cory and Trevor from TPB as well. Somehow I was overpowering the shit out of the 2, just kicking pure ass. My buddy was punching the somewhat skilled guy who no longer had the bow, and I was fighting the loser of the two. I remember punching him a few times and then I just lifted the guy up by his shirt and held him for a second then lobbed him against the wall. After we dealt with the two we started running out of the hallway and towards the exit.We were then outside and jumped down onto three different roofs to get to ground level (Yeah from the basement and this doesn't make any sense). I still had the object at the time which was some container with some green goo in it, and we ran past the huge room we entered through in the beginning. As we ran past, Julian ( mixed drink in hand) yelled out from inside the room with a massive window "Hey boys, what are you doing? I told you not to get it!" I heard him through the window and yelled back like Ricky "F*ck off Julian, I got it now!" At this point the dream skipped after we got away, and I remember seeing a high tech auditorium-like place in the complex as if from a camera. The rich man was yelling at all of the employees and making them repeat certain phrases to remember them and to not fail the next time. Then, it all faded and I can't recall anything else.

So I can't believe I didn't become lucid in this one but here it is, and it was a vivid one: This was after doing a WBTB, and I had been having a rough sleep, but it started out in my backyard at home. I was suddenly outside and the area to the right of my house was all asphalt, and half the living room was sitting out there along with a tv and some random garbage... I don't know how I could see that as normal but I was preoccupied searching for something I have no idea what, but my Mom was there too. She said go inside, so I did. In the foyer of my house there was a huge shelf with many different candies on it, and I eyed the macintosh toffee but someone called me from the den(where the tv is). My dad was waiting in the den for me and proceeded to tell me it was my birthday.... it's not for another 4 months and somehow I didn't find that odd, not to mention I didn't know it was my birthday at the time. He said "so I've got you a present!" He tells me he got me Halo Reach... the funny thing is I don't really care about it at all so I tried to act like I did. So, he put it on the tv.. wait, 2 tv's. Somehow we had 2 plasma tv's one in front of the other. Nope, didn't find that odd either I said "Can I play it downstairs on the big screen?" (theres is a much bigger one in the basement so this wasn't odd). Then, the dream skipped suddenly, and I could see a very vibrant screen with a cartoon-ish game on it. It looked totally wrong, but the dream skipped again. I was suddenly playing it, in the first person. I had full control almost like a virtual reality system, and I was suddenly running so damn fast weaving around vans and people. This was all in a desert landscape with a few bits of greenery only to the right. I thought to myself 'this is not right, games aren't this real, this has to be virtual reality! (NO, you idiot.) I almost became lucid here because at the same time I noticed a farm house that I've seen before in previous dreams. I actually stood there thinking about it, but no realizations of a dream. But, I continued on. The 'game' I was playing was nothing like Halo at all so I assume I had forgotten I was playing at all. Now, I was 'living' this scene. After running like a sprinter, the whole scene changed. Suddenly, the cops showed up and I could here blaring alarms. Note: my phone was set to an alarm and goes off roughly every 5 minutes(forgot to turn it off), so I assume it was that which caused the sirens, and police to come. I was really scared so I tried to hide. This guy I always see walking down my street at home suddenly appeared and tossed me a gun that didn't work because it was just the hand grip... thanks a lot, bud. The cops then forgot about me and started chasing him ( I believe it's because in reality I think this guy is kind of shady, so I assume the cops turned on him guided by my thoughts). I was still running away at this point, and I found an old bus that was all dilapidated, so I entered thinking it was a good hiding place. All of these weird Mexicans were sitting in there on a bunch of mattresses an couches it was honestly a funny thing to see, they were all really dirty too(I'm not racist, lol) At this point, after taking in the scene, I asked if it was okay to hide. This one man replied "it's too late, the bus is full" or something to that extent. It was then the dream faded and I woke up.

Alright, I don't know how to start this but it sure was a great experience. This LD is my first one, and I was fully lucid. It lasted in real time for quite a while without waking up, however I lost lucidity twice and regained it. Before beginning I must mention that without any real connection to the dream, I coincidently was listening to the band Dream Theater before going to bed! It started in a garden, yet I was not lucid, I remember one of those circular stone benches in the inside of a vast circular garden with stone poles lining the outside. I noticed things were a bit odd, and I recalled memories in a dream of playing COD8 or something stupid ( I’ve disliked video games for a while now so I don’t know why this happened).... Then I realized it doesn't even exist yet, and I have no recollection of arriving at this garden. I looked at my hands, 8 fingers on each. I'm dreaming. I immediately felt like the boy in the first scene of Waking Life. As I realized I was lucid I started to float upwards and I thought that I might as well fly. I recalled that most people only have short lucid dreams for the first time so I told myself to stay lucid. By this time the feeling I felt was remarkable and I was suddenly over an ocean flying and seeing reflections for a good ten minutes. I was then hovering and at that time I remembered reading on these forums someone who wanted to shoot fireballs out of their hands. So, I thought "what the hell, give'er a try!" I shot them like crazy and started to fly again. Then I remember arriving at an island. I must add here that after becoming lucid for the first time, I realized my dream sign to be too many fingers on rotoscoped hands (like in waking life) and they were very odd. When I arrived, I suddenly lost lucidity. I began speaking to a few people on a similar stone bench. I told them of what had just happened and explained to them what lucid dreaming was. They laughed, and didn't believe me. It was then that some random dude started talking and no-one listened at all. He seemed sad(connection to my failed explanation of LD?) so I told him that I was listening (maybe saying that I myself believed LD's can happen). Then I looked down and saw that I had 8 fingers again (really screwed up hands). I freaked out because I was just speaking about LD's in a world I thought was reality. This scared me a lot and I flew away to escape the feeling. (Somehow I remember seeing my terrified face while still being me,and at the same time having the emotion) Then I lost lucidity and woke up? from it in a dark room. Suddenly the floor rose like an elevator until it was going to smash the roof but it suddenly stopped. I awoke again in a classroom with a professor lecturing at the front and seeming quite annoyed. I was very skeptical of the situation and at this time forgot what had happened previously. I thought to myself "look at your hands!" 8 fingers again? oh yeah. I ignored the rambling prof and flew straight through the ceiling and out over the ocean again. I visited an island I've seen in multiple non LD's (there’s also always a sunset) with huge buildings and beach houses. In non LD's I've visited the same house and spoke to some woman about what I honestly can't remember. This time I decided to fly around instead and see the dark buildings and richly coloured surroundings. This lasted for a while until I faded away and woke up for real. Yes I checked my hands again and saw my clock wasn’t all wonky. It was still early in the morning so I fell back asleep and heard a woman’s voice saying “memory of you”. After that I can’t recall anything else. This dream was very eye opening (odd choice of words? ) and I now understand people when they speak of LD’s. A few questions: Will my hands always be screwed up in dreams? Is this now my dream sign? Was speaking about lucid dreaming to other dream figures a rare occurrence? I mean I seriously thought it was reality, then I looked at my hands right after explaining LD’s to see them all f***d up. You must understand that’s quite a shock. Was being fully lucid and flying rare for a first time? What could "memory of you" mean? I believe it means that everything happened because of memories not of me, but my memories themselves.
