lucid

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.

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.

Thanks for reading!
