Wow! My first two lucids were months apart but my second and third were only a week or so!
----------
There were two house boats on the water. Laura went over to visit one and I got ready to swim over to it as well. A lady had previous come and scattered lots of extremely yellow dandelions all over the ground so I picked up a bush of dandelions. I swam over, as I swam one of the dandelions fell off, but I caught it in my mouth. When I reached the boat Laura was already talking to the girl who owned it. She only looked about 14 or so. She didn't know too much about civilisation. The boat was a small raft made out of logs with a shower to one side and a privacy curtain. It did not have a roof.
"I wouldn't like to live ona house boat," Laura said.
"Yeah - I wouldn't like to live with all this water - like surrounded by it all either.
"I don't like it either," the girl said.
I showed her the way that I'd covered some of my school books. She liked two of them but wasn't really impressed by the other two, "Yeah - I only brought them for bathmats," I said and folded them (they had turned into two red towels) in half and found the shower and put them down.

I had a quick shower and hopped out and began to dry myself. Laura walked behind one of the pricvacy curtains and it fell down. I told her and she put it back up again. Then, as we left the girl gave us some foreign coins that in the dream were our currency. We visited her a lot and each time she gave us more money. One time she gave us $50 000 and Laura and I decided taht we should return it but when we turned around she was gone.

I bought myself a front row seat at a big stadium where a tribal sort of ceremony was going to be held. My Mum asked me where I had gotten front row tickets from and I told her that some people from the back row were being moved to the front row. After I'd said that, a big announcement was made repeating the exact same thing. My Mum nodded and I took my seat. The show began and some dancing Indians walked through the entrance.

I was running down the street with Shelley, Vivian and Jessie. Jessie suddenly stopped and we ran to the other side of the shops before we stopped to wait for her. The next thing we saw was Jessie in a kangaroo suit, rounding the corner, laughing.
"Run!" I shouted and we ran.
Shelley and I stuffed our faces with popcorn as we ran. We reached a ship and ran onto it. As we rounded a corner Shelley, Vivian and I pinned ourselves to the wall. Jessie ran past us but suddenly stopped, turned around and ran past us again. She ocntineud running back and forth. I laughed because this was an obvious time to do an RC in case something like that ever happened in a dream. I plugged my nose and was surprised when I found that I could breathe through it. I tried again and could still breath then I became lucid as I poked my finger through my hand. I rememberd how in my last lucid dream I had not taken enough time to think and had not remained focussed and had lost lucidity. I also remembered that one of my goals was to find my dream guide. I told myself that when I turned around there would be a door there and through the door there would be my dream guide.

I turned around and the door was there but when I opened it my dream guide wasn't there. I was quite disappointed. Then I felt my dream beginning to fade around me so I remembered the stabilization tutorial I had read and fell backwards focusing on a bell on the roof.

When I looked around again I wasn't sure where I was, until I decided that I was ina bell tower. Clarity was weak and the whole dream was wobbly and I felt myself beginnign to become more aware of my physical body. I tried falling backwards again but it no longer felt real. Suddenly a person emerged from the shadows and as my vision went dark all I could see were her eyes glowing golden.
----------
I was part of a strange family and on this particular morning I wanted to sneak away from them so I got dressed in a shower curtain and ran out past them and they never noticed anything.
^ wth?
----------
I was my Grandmother's cat - Dennis. I had run away and been taken in by a pet store who were treating me like royalty. I got everything that I wanted. One day my RL family came to look in the pet store . I didn't want them to recognise me so I hid my face from them. The petshop owner however wanted to show me off. She coaxed me out with food and eventually I stuffed my face in the delicous bowl of cat nip.
"We think he must be pedigree," the shop worker said.
I felt proud and I knew that I hadn't been recognised.

I don't even wake up when I set my alarm to go off in the middle of the night - I sleep too deeply!!!
----------
I was in a big office building. I think that I was a journalist or something like that. Work was just ending and as I walked out, down the big steps that led up to the building. The mail man was walking up the steps yelling something that indicated the mail he had was mine. For a brief second I wondered why they yelled it out as they walked and was on the brink of becoming lucid but then dismissed the thought entirely I received a package though and then another boy about my age was coming up the steps.
"Oh, good, you got it," he said, "Could you deliver that for me?"
I nodded and kept going, thinking that it was a gift and that he had a crush on me. (???) Jessie, Vivian and I rollerbladed home but I kept falling over and having trouble getting back up. Finally, when we reached the top of the hill I read the label and it said 'Chuck Rosemary'. I thought about that for a while and then realised that it was for my Great Aunt who was staying there with me (I was located in Nambucca Heads).

I was quite disappointed that it wasn't for me but I went and delivered it to Rosemary anyway. Then I returned to my Grandmother's little cottage. My sister was there as well.
"So, what are we having for dinner?" my Grandmother asked me and Laura.
"How about pizza?" I suggested.
"Good idea, d'you know how to order it?" my Grandmother asked.
"Not really... I'll go ask my Dad!" I said and ran over to the caravan. No one was there but I ran into my dad on the way back.
"How do we order pizza?" I asked.
"What do you mean? The same way we always order pizza!"
Suddenly I had a vision of walking up to the kiosk and ordering pizza. "Oh! I remember now, thanks!"
----------
This dream was probably influenced by the floods here in South Queensland O_o
I was standing in a desert sort of area lined with cars. I was there with a group of people I know. Jessie, Vivian and some guy I didn't know ran towards a car and hopped in the trunk as the floodwaters suddenly came and became knee deep. They closed the trunk but I could see through it and saw them saying, "1,2,3 kick!" and they kicked the boot open. They did it again but the water went over the top of the boot and they coudn't kick it open on their first kick but it worked ontheir second.
"Why are you guys doing that?! You could be killed!" I said.

We crossed over to the other side and the flood waters seemed to disappear without me noticing. Over the other side though we saw two massive waves coming from opposite sides aboutto converge. Some people screamed and I held my breath. The waves didn't come together though, it was like they were moving in slwo motion. I let out a nervous laugh.
"Come on, our only chance is if we jump onto those ones!" Jessie shouted and pointed at the waves.

They were no longer waves of water but they were actually waves of earth now, so they could be jumped on. We ran towards them and were about to jump on one when suddenly everything calmed down andn all the waves disappeared. There was a group of cowboy like people who looked like bad guys from a western movie standing there.

Everybody sat down in front of the men but they disappeared. One of my friends, Grace was there but a teacher led them away. I quickly ran into a nearby shop that hadn't been there just a moment ago.
"Have you got any suspects?" I asked.
"I found this," he held up something that looked a bit like a key and had a number on it.
"Have you found what it goes with?" I asked.
"I think so," he said.

He pulled out a suitcase and opened it. It was empty but had felt lining. He put the key in it and looked at it. "It fits!" he said triumphantly.
I couldn't exactly see how it did fit but I was overjoyed nonetheless. "Who's is it?" I asked.

He pointed out a name on the top. It said '_______ Yakamoto'. (I don't remember the first name). I thought that it might have been Grace. I grabbed it and headed out the door, and ran after the group of people. I caught up to them down by a creek in the bush.
"Grace!" I called. She turned around.
"Is this-" I pushed the suitcase towards her.
"Oh thanks!" she said and grabbed it.
"Yours? Oh good! Because I wasn't sure it was yours because it was Yakamoto and..." I trailed off.
----------
All I remember was needing to go to the toilet and walking into one of the stalls and sitting down and then I went toilet. In the stall next to me was a girl from my school called Amy and her friends were standing outside. I looked at the wall next to me but I suddenly realised how high the wall was. I could see the bottom of her legs and they were really hairy. I was surprised because Amy was one of the popular girls.

When I'd finished I pulled my pants up and flushed the toilet but I still felt like I needed to go toilet. But I didn't really want to go again with Amy and her friends right there. I walked out and saw Amy's friends laughing, one held her shoes in her hands, and they were made out of paper.
I did dream more but I can't remember it
The hairy legs things seems to be recurring... maybe it's a dream sign

Tried a VILD last night when I went to bed and when I woke up but they didn't work
----------
My dream began with Jessie and my family surrounded by people wanting to take us hostage. They were yelling at us. "Now!" Jessie yelled and used her knife to cut loose three or four kites that were tied to posts. I leapt forward and grabbed the end of the kite and Jessie did the same. The kite lifted me up off the ground and I started blowing across the valleys that dipped and rose below me. It was hard to hold on and I kept slipping, I was worried tha tI would fall off before I made it to our safe destination but I managed to hold on. Jessie landed next to me and then my "family" followed. In the dream they were my family but they aren't in real life. My "sister" a dove faced girl held onto her kite but only with one hand and with the other she spread her arms out and assumed a flying position.

Realising that was how you were meant to fly, I tried to do that without a kite but face planted into the ground. My mum and dad landed as well.
----------
This is sort of a continuation of the other dream.
Rain was bucketing down but I was still at the safe area. Most people ran indoors into the big centre but Vivian and I stayed and got drenched. "What're they doing?" I asked.
"They're calling our grade one class," Vivian said.
I didn't really know why, but I accepted it. "So everyone is going to have to come here?"
"Yep," she nodded.
I thought about that for a second and then headed back towards the centre.

Inside, everyone was drinking warm, milky, sweet drinks. I took one and slurped it up. Then I headed to the cabins that were opposite the centre. The dove-faced girl disappeared from our family and was replaced with my brother, James .My mum, dad and James chose a place for us to set up our things and we had a whole section of the cabins to ourselves. It was actually quite luxurious.
"Auntie Kate is here," my mum told me.
"Really?" I said excitedly and ran towards the centre.
It was no longer raining, instead it was actually quite sunny. I found Auntie Kate at the back of the centre sitting behind a table with a few other people. I went and took a seat next to her, hugged her and said hello.
A mid-aged woman arrived at thte table and looked at me and sighed, "I hope other kids aren't going to come here and want refills," she snapped.
"No, they're not," I said as I realised that I was going to get another one of the hot drinks.
The woman got to work and filled some foam cups with shredded cheese. I was surprised and sort of grossed out - cheese. I hadn't thought that the drinks were made out of cheese.
----------
Another continuation of the other dream.
Auntie Kate seemed to have disappeared from this dream. I walked into the cabin with Vivian, "This is the best school camp ever!" I said. Vivian nodded and eagerly agreed. Then we split, and I went down to my family's section of the cabin.
"I don't think I'll have a shower today," my mum said to my dad as I passed them.
I hopped into my bunk bed and it was extremely comfy. It was all set up because I had been living there for the past week.

Later on that night there were heaps of people in the showers and I really couldn't be bothered.
"I don't think I'll shower tonight because there are so many people, I'll shower tomorrow mornign," I said to my mum.
"You can't not shower tonight," she said and then introduced various arguments supporting her view.
"But you're not showering tonight," I said and she went silent.
----------
This was a dream I had after I woke up and was pissed at myself for not going lucid so I thought I'd try again... I wasn't successful.
I walked into a dimly lit room where there stood a beautiful woman who was counselling a boy who looked to be about 17. When she saw me she dismissed him. (Btw, in this dream I was a guy...) "I brought something for you," I said and handed her a skull. Her eyes lit up and she opened a jar and took off the top of the skull. She tipped a runny yellow liquid from the skull into the jar. Then the adolescent boy returned and he was holding a skull which he had taken the top off and was now trying to put it back on upside down.
"Why are you putting it on upside down?" she asked.
"I don't know," the boy said and turned it around. He had watery eyes and looked completely out of it.
"What have you been doing?" she asked him.
"I played a drinking game," he admitted.
"What drinking game?"
"I had to drink this lemon drink and I didn't know what was in it but I got a lot of money," he laughed.
"Why would you drink something if youdidn't know what it was?" she asked. She reached for another skull and tipped more yellow liquid into the jar and continued talking to the boy.

Suddenly the yellow liquid reached the top and she quickly stopped tipping. She smied with satisfactiona and screwed the top on the jar.
----------
I woke up then and tried to go back into the dream by re-imagining that place but I just fell asleep.
When I next woke up I kept my eyes closed. I was annoyed because my attempt to re-enter the dream had not been successful. I felt my cat, Misha, curled up in my arm and I breathed in but got her cat hair all into my mouth and throat so I opened my eyes spluttering.

When I opened my eyes it was strange. There was no cat, and I did not have any cat hair in my throat. Then I was extra annoyed that I had not done a reality check because it had been an FA... *sigh*

----------
I was in my grandfather's car, in the passenger seat. It was a pretty cool car - shiny, grey, without a roof. "I'll be back in a moment," he said and hopped out. We were parked in a car park. Suddenly the car began to roll backwards. I quickly jumped up and hopped into drivers seat and put my foot on the brake. Despite that the car kept rolling backwards although slower than before. I reached for the hand brake and pulled that but it didn't change and the car continued to roll backwards.

Suddenly my Grandfather arrived. "What are you doing?" he said.
"The car was rolling backwards," I said.
"You only needed to press the brake," he said.
I jumped back into my seat as he hopped into the drivers side.
----------
My Grandfather was driving me and my sister somewhere when he suddenly pulled over to the side of the road. "I think I'll go now," he said.
"But who will drive us back?" I asked.
"Your sister can drive!" (She doesn't have a license)
Then he disappeared. Laura pulled the car out and was doing a pretty good job at driving. Suddenly I noticed a 60 year old guy behind us with a camera trying to get a picture of the license plate. I threw myself at him and grabbed the camera. Then he pulled out another camera and I got that one as well. I jumped back into the car as he ran after us. For some reason I jumped back out of the car again. "Up here!" my sister called. She turned the car towards a cliff face and began driving on an extrely narrow road up it.

I turned and followed it. It should have been impossible for the car to get up but she was already up the top. I followed carefully, almost falling off the edge. Finally I reached the top.
I laughed, "Oh! We went up here because he's too old to get up here!" I said.
Then the guy at the bottom ran up at half the speed I had. I almost fell off and he grabbed my arm, "You right?" he asked. I nodded.

Decided to get back into lucid dreaming and start my dream journal again. I sort of had to put it aside because of how hectic school became but my New Year's resolution was to have at least one more lucid dream this year!!!
----------
I was in an indoor car impound lot. Well I wasn't really in it but was watching it like a movie. There was scary and suspenseful music. A young girl in a white dress who looked to be about 10 was walking through the cars. Her older brother wasn't far behind. Gibbs from NCIS stood up on a raised platform at the back of the building, watching them and laughing. The girl ran her hand along a white car and twirled around laughing. She ran away as her brother began to chase her. Her brother touched the same car that his sister had and it suddenly exploded.

It wasn't a big explosion but it was big enough to destroy the car and Gibbs' son with it. Gibbs had a shocked expression on his face and the image froze and faded to black.
----------
I was in a school - not one I've ever been to before. But me and my friend, Jessie were there together. Nothing was mentioned but I knew that everyone at this school, including us, was being kept prisoner by the teachers. Jessie and I had established a sort of 'nest'area where we stashed forbidden goods. The goods included chocolate, which we were forbidden to have and Jessie had never even heard of it until I smuggled some into the school.

On this particular day, Mr B, arrived in the carpark. In real life Mr B is one of my teachers but in the dream he was just a friend. He pulled up in his car and Jessie and I ran over to it. I peered into the boot and saw some soft drink (another forbidden good) and chocolate. "Jess! Look at this!" I said and pointed to it. Jessie gasped. "Mr B! Can we have some?" she asked in an excited but hushed voice. Mr B looked around cautiously and then nodded and popped the boot. We pulled it open and leant in, stuffing our faces with chocolate and soft drink.

"Girls, what are you doing?" we heard the head mistress call out. We quickly put down the food and drinks and looked back to her, over the rooves of some of the other cars. She couldn't have seen what we were doing. "Just saying hello to Mr B!" I replied. "Come back at once!" she called. Jessie quickly ran back and I stood there for a moment trying to think of a way I could smuggle back the soft drink but I didn't end up doing it and joined Jessie back near our nest.

Later, there was another chance and we made a dash to the car and finished up the chocolate and soft drink. When we returned to the building however, the head mistress was standing out the front with her hands on her hips. "Been eating chocolate have we?" she asked and Jessie and I remained silent. "Show me where the rest is," she demanded. Meekly we took her to our nest where Jessie leant in as if looking for more chocolate but I could see her quickly gobbling up the rest. "There is nothing here," she said to the head mistress. "Okay," the head mistress complied and left. "Phew! That was close!" I said.
Despite days of immersing myself in different techniques and being completely positive that they would work I haven't had success yet but I'm sure I will soon!!!!

I was in a kind of forest area with Laura, James and my Dad. We were walking on a narrow track. We stopped when we reached a short wire fence that was about waist height. Behind the fence were several black and white kittens. We worked out that there were enough kittens for every person in my family to have one with an extra kitten left over. My Dad took 5 kittens and put them in a box leaving the extra kitten behind. My brother wanted to keep the 6th Kitten but I said that he wasn't responsible enough and that I should keep it. So I went back and picked it up and decided to name her Misty. We walked back to our house (our old house in reality) where my Mum had put dinner on the table. We locked 5 cats under the stairs leaving them food, water and a bed. I kept Misty on my lap as we ate but she was scared and struggled. Eventually she escaped from me but I didn't go after her straight away. When my Dad pointed out she was gone I leapt up and started searching for her. I eventually found her on a couch in the family room (which was full of boxes and furniture for moving). I picked her up and she eventually stopped struggling and relaxed in my arms.
----------
I was chasing after two girls in a busy pedestrian city. We pressed the crossing-the-road button and waited for the green man to light up. The buildings around us were impossibly tall. Soon the girls started to run yelling something at each other. They stopped waiting for the lights so that they could cross the road but just ran across. Eventually we arrived at a tall building. We entered the lobby where there were only a few people. In the middle of the room were 6 seats, back to back in groups of 3. To our left was the front desk and then some election voting booths just beside that. The girls desperately wanted to go up the stairs to see someone but they were not allowed to go. They stole 2 movie tickets off a mother and her son who were sitting in the chair, neither of them seemed to care very much. The girls then tried to go up the stairs with the tickets but the hotel manager was watching and instead they went to the election booths and pretended to package the tickets up to send to someone.
----------
My other dream is fragmented:
I was walking along a footpath and to my left, riding beside me was an extremely tall biker. She had a purple helmet. I looked up at her and saw she was eating a jar of applesauce with a spoon. I pointed it out and she just laughed, smiling sheepishly.

I woke up and I was in my bed, a dim light was on below me and it was night time. I thought that maybe I was in a dream, so I pinched my nose - I could still breathe. I got excited and jumped out of bed however I could not seem to leave my house. I tried flying but that didn't work. Instead I made a few portals all in a row on a blue mattress leaning against the wall. The portals were all geometric shapes (circle, square, star etc.) and I looked through some of them before deciding on going through the heart shaped one. The other portals disappeared and I grabbed the edges of the heart shaped portal and stretched it bigger then stepped through.

The portal took me outside and it was now day time. The sky was REALLY blue with just a few clouds. I was walking up the hill outside my house with my Dad. We continued walking through the Estate and finally we reached an empty lot which had been turned into a bush-like camping area. My sister, brother and Mum were already there and starting a barbecue.
----------
I was in my room - it was daytime. Instead of a wall though to close off my room there was an open divider leading into another room. It looked a lot like my old classrooms in primary school. Two classes of students (approximately grade 6) were sitting on the floor as Mrs. M and Mr C (my grade 6 teachers) taught the class. I sat next to my beanbag sort of bored...
