    Welcome to my Dream Journal! I'm afraid it's backed up with years of mismatched dream clusters, but if you'll allow me to start anew, much more sense will be made.

    My current goal with lucid dreaming is to embark upon a journey of self-discovery. I seek not just an escape, but a learning and growing experience. I hope you will enjoy following me on this quest.

    Some of my goals include:

    Control over surroundings
    Evidence of shared dreaming
    Improved flying ability (erase "swimming in air" effect)
    Alter appearance/physical form at will
    Familiarity with supposed dream guide
    Convincing out-of-body experience
    Successful wake-induced lucid dream

    I'll be editing and updating this list as I progress. All are welcome to comment and message me about anything, anytime.

      Dream Non-dream Lucid

      Mary, Hannah, and I were in a little costume shop. It was pretty cluttered and difficult to navigate. I wandered over to something cute that I noticed. When I turned from the clothes, there was a girl from my school standing there, with a couple others, blocking my way. The first girl spoke. "You fucking bit me in the locker rooms today," she spat. I rolled my eyes at her. "I did not; I think I'd remember biting someone."
      "You did," she said, "and don't even try lying."
      I stepped forward and got all up in her space. "The locker room's always crowded, so I may have unintentionally bumped into you, but you know and I know that I didn't bite you. Now move your ass out of the way and let me through."
      She blinked several times and stepped to her right. The other two girls tried hard not to laugh as I passed them and went to the other side of the store, meeting up with my friends.

      Something like that happened yesterday, except it was for a completely different reason, and it was more of a one-on-one argument.

      Dream Non-dream Lucid

      I was on YouTube, and noticed a video in my subscriptions box. It was made by an old friend that I haven't seen since 7th grade. I clicked the thumbnail, and was confused by the video that opened. There was a bunch of girls running about on some street, and they were all speaking Spanish. I didn't think my friend could speak Spanish, but lo and behold, the camera panned over and showed her, laughing and saying something that I couldn't understand.

      That's all I remember, sorry. ^-^'

      1/12/11 - Wall-Walking
      Dream Non-dream Lucid
      Yay finally, a fun little lucid!

      I don't remember how I got lucid, but I definitely knew I was dreaming. I was at the front door of my house, and there was a big bubble on the porch. I jumped into the air, and floated/air-swam over to the bubble, and pulled it back into the house with me and closed the door. Will was there, and I'd been trying to impress him, though I knew he was a DC. I gave him the bubble and he left.
      Remembering a scene from the movie Inception, I decided to try and walk up a wall, and change my perspective a bit - almost like turning the room sideways. I looked around for a good wall to use, and found that my dad's office was perfect, with walls and areas of ceiling at varying angles. I saw my dad sitting at his desk and asked him, "Can I walk on your walls? It is my dream." He just nodded and smiled, so I turned to the wall and walked straight at it, then stepped onto it and walked straight up. It took some concentration, but the room's gravity seemed to shift. The wall I was on became my floor. I proceeded to walk all over the walls and ceiling, enjoying it very much. At some point I decided to get rid of all gravity, and just float around. I did lots of flips and turns, enjoying the way it made the room spin, and the overall weightlessness of it. I then started talking to my dad about it, and he said something about a baseball team, which confused me.
      I rolled over in bed and woke up.

      Maybe next time I'll remember to do something productive.

    4. Mall Excursions

      1/11/11 - Mall Excursions
      Dream Non-dream Lucid

      The longer dream took place at a huge mall. I was at Barnes & Noble, my favorite place ever, but it was more like a library for some reason. My friend Angela was there, and told me that was where she worked. We sat down by a weird machine; Angela told me it was for donating or renting out books, but for awhile we used its many attached screens to watch NCIS. After awhile I decided to rent out my InuYasha books, since I'd already read them. Angela helped me put them on a sort of conveyer belt, which rolled through the machine and electronically stored the books elsewhere. At some point I changed my mind and wanted my books back. Angela didn't know what to do, though, so I called out, "Can I get some help from someone who actually knows what they're doing?!" The whole store was staring at me, and a man walked up to me. He asked if I'd donated some books, and explained that this machine was for donations only. I was pissed at Angela for screwing up. I told the man that there'd been a mistake, and asked for my books back. He said he could get them back for me, and sat down at a computer on the opposite end of the machine. After typing for awhile, he stood up and told me to go to the back of the store, and that my books were at the reception desk.
      I went to the back of the store and looked around. I saw a little podium labeled, "Reception," but saw no books there. I looked around some more and noticed a huge desk with lots of manga sitting on top, just a couple of feet away. I looked at all the books, but couldn't find mine. I did notice something labeled "Elemental135," but apparently it was the title of the manga. I also saw a Death Note book and, I think, some Dragonball Z.
      Finally I decided to go back to the man at the machine. "My books aren't there," I told him. He asked me what books I'd been looking for, and after some thought I remembered having InuYasha VizBig Edition, books 1-3. He went back to the manga I'd been looking at and pulled out a book, saying it was mine. I looked at it and it was something I'd never heard of before.

      I somehow ended up in a different scene. I was with B&N's owner's daughters, three little girls around ages 6-10. I was supposed to babysit them, and the owner and I were on friendly terms, so he trusted me. I found myself in a big room with a weird stairway formation that led to the ceiling. *The girls were all running to the highest point they could reach, in fear of something. They told me about an evil thing coming to get us. We climbed up the stairs and onto some banister-like things near the ceiling; it was pretty high up. Suddenly, through a large gap in the stair formation, I saw spurts of water shooting up in a circle. I asked the girls if it was the "evil thing" and they nodded. I told them it was just a fountain, and we were all relieved. Right then, their parents came home. I was switched to 3rd-person view, and saw myself, though I looked and acted like another person, a young woman with thick black hair, suddenly feign anger and yell, "Get down from there!" as if scolding the children. "I" jumped down to the floor, and a couple of the children fell from their perches in the banisters. I believe the were hurt. Their father rushed over, pissed, and ordered me to leave. I tried to explain about the "evil" fountain, and he said they had done the same thing earlier, and that they'd already been told it was just a fountain. I felt like, somehow, the children's memories had been erased. The father tended to his children.

      That was the end there, but I remember something else happening at the same mall. I was with someone, possibly Will, and we were in a small shop. It was empty except for a long counter at one end, where an old man, supposedly our grandpa, stood. On each side of the counter was a door. He went through the door on the left, and emerged with two baby bears on chain leashes. We were supposed to walk them, so Will and I each took a chain and took the bears out the door on the right, which led into the mall. I don't really remember where we walked. At some point we returned the bears to my grandpa, and repeated the process with a second set of cubs. We were still walking them when I woke up.

      I went back to sleep for a few hours, and had another dream.
      I remember being at my house with a new puppy, a pug or boxer. I think its name was Boulder. I was trying to decide where it would sleep, when it peed all over the bathroom counter, at which point I decided it would sleep in Will's room.

    5. Awkward Lawyers

      1/9/11 - Awkward Lawyers
      Dream Non-dream Lucid

      Me, Mary, and Hannah were working together in my old school's gym. It was apparently a law firm that we ran. I saw Mary sitting on the bleachers, talking to a couple of custmers. I went up to her and asked, "Comfortable?" She sighed and said, "Not really." I sat next to her and put my arm around her. "How 'bout now?" I asked. She smirked. "Oh yeah."
      We giggled hysterically.
      The two customers glanced at eachother. "Are you gay?" one of them asked.
      I laughed again and said, "Psshh! Yeah RIGHT!"
      Mary chimed in, "Because guys are fucking sexy!"

      fragmenty...

      We were closing for the day. Hannah, for some reason, wasn't there. Me and Mary were about to walk out the door when this blonde girl from my school stopped us. She challenged me to a "dance battle", and started dancing like a maniac. I just shrugged and started dancing too. About halfway thru I had to stop because I felt like my hoodie was choking me. It was fine though, because the girl was so amazed by my dancing that I'd already won. Then we all just... left.

      I also remember a teeny fragment.
      Before going to bed, I was thinking about how I wanted to find my dream guide. I'd imagined him as a huge gray wolf with unusual markings. Here's the dream.


      It seemed everything was going super fast, and all this happened in a single moment. I became lucid, met a big gray wolf, supposedly my dream guide, hopped on his back, asked him to take me somewhere, and he took off into the sky at incredible speed. I could see stars zooming by as the moon got larger in the sky... It freaked me out and I woke up. It was exhilarating and frustrating at the same time.
      I'm not counting this as a lucid due to its short length, and the overall confusion/"collapseness".

      1/8/10 - Water Slide (fragment)
      Dream Non-dream Lucid

      Something about a water park, I remember that some of my younger girl cousins were with me on an epic water ride, with a few drops so steep they were straight down. Apparently because I had no bathing suit, I went topless, which was super awkward.

      That's all I remember.
    7. Bizarre Jungle, Remote Control

      by , 12-31-2010 at 03:34 AM
      12/30/10 - Bizzare Jungle, Remote Control
      Dream Non-dream Lucid

      Not really sure what happened exactly. I was in this weird jungle/forest, where my dream self thought to have spent the previous summer. There were some weird and exotic animals there; the one I remember most is a leopard, but it's almost like I was the leopard...

      I remember another bit. I was with some animals I don't quite remember, but am pretty sure included a monkey and bird. We were running across something like a long tree, fallen sideways across water... The tree went on as far as I could see, as did the water. We were running to retreave a remote control from some other, less friendly animals.

      I wish I could remember more.
      Now that I think about it, I vaguely remember a dream or two from that same jungle. Something about fairies, and another involving ancient cursed runes.
    8. Corny Carnival & Gift Contemplation

      by , 12-21-2010 at 03:59 AM
      12/20/10 - Corny Carnival & Gift Contemplation
      Dream Non-dream Lucid

      I vaguely remember being at a carnival with my friends Mary and Angela, along with some girl who I think was Angela's friend. The fairgrounds were more like a big lot with a fence around most of it, and makeshift rides and games set up in a kind of half-circle formation. We went from ride to ride, and hoped to get through all of the rides, but after only about five of them it was time to leave.

      There's a small fragment of another dream. I was with my 9-year-old cousin and we were looking through a book of my old drawings. They were all anime girls and I noticed that a lot of them were posed with their fists in the air.

      Finally, I remember being at Barnes & Noble, looking for gifts for Hannah and Mary. I figured I'd look for something I knew they hadn't read before. Eventually I found a 3-in-1 book for each of them; InuYasha for Mary, and Sailor Moon for Hannah. I figured they'd like them since I knew they each loved the anime versions of their books.

      I was actually planning to go to B&N today for their presents. I don't know if there is a manga of Sailor Moon, but it's a pretty good idea for Hannah's present. Maybe I could get season 1 of the anime. Mary's already read some InuYasha, though, so I need to think of something else for her.
    9. Rocket Boost

      by , 12-18-2010 at 05:40 PM
      12/18/10 - Rocket Boost
      Dream Non-Dream Lucid

      I was at my house with a bunch of other people, and I could sense it was turning into a nightmare. Apparently, some creatures were trying to get into the house.
      I decided to leave and change the dream altogether, so I went out to the screened back porch with Will. I told him to focus on being weightless and he started levitating. I grabbed his hand, crouched, and jumped high up. We broke through the porch roof, but I felt like we were going to fall, so I gave myself a boost and shot flames out of my feet to shoot us up higher. We went far out into Earth's atmosphere, and I contemplated going to the moon, but I figured I'd do it another time and dismissed the idea immediately. I focused on landing safely, so I turned off the "rocket boosters" as I referred to the flames from my feet, and we began hurtling towards Earth. It was really amazing to look down at, there were colors rushing everywhere and although I seriously doubt it would really be like that, in the dream it was very realistic. I slowed us down by willing gravity to let up a bit, and we ended up gently floating back down to the ground... specifically, my back porch. Epic fail...


      My cat, Patches, woke me up at like 7:30. So early!
    10. Book of Spells

      by , 12-05-2010 at 11:49 PM
      12/5/10 - Book of Spells
      Dream Non-dream Lucid

      I remember a fragment where I thought I'd met a member of the Dream Sharing team, but no matter how hard I try I can't remember what happened. Grr.

      There was another dream, or maybe part of the same dream, where I was at my old school's playground with my mom. We were trying to infiltrate the school for some reason. My mom had some sort of magic powers, and was going to disguise me as a 4-year-old so that I could sneak in as a pre-kindergartener. On the other side of the playground was the pre-k class that I was supposed to sneak in with.
      My mom opened a huge, old book of spells. She held her hands out toward me and said some spell that I think was in English but I don't remember the words to.
      I felt myself shrink and change into an adorable little 4-year-old girl. I looked up at my mom, who was grinning like an idiot. "I'm guessing it worked?" I said.
      She picked me up and hugged me. "You are SO cute!" she told me.
      "Uh, okay, can't breathe here!" I spluttered, and she put me back down.
      "Sorry," she said, still grinning. She said something about remembering the plan and left with that.
      I made my way over to a group of little girls. They were crying about something so I figured, what the heck, might be easier to blend in this way. I sat in the middle of the group and turned on the waterworks.
      There was a teacher watching the class, but she ignored us crying children. How nice.
      I don't remember what happened after that.

      I was at my house, chillin in the living room. My mom walks in with her spellbook. I'm in a a state of half-4-year-old, half normal self, so I kinda look like a babyish teenager with a squeaky voice. My mom smiles at me. "Good job earlier. You still look cute."
      I just shrug my shoulders, grumpy because of the state I was in.
      My mom hands her book to me. "Here. I put a spell on it, so it will grant all of your wishes." She just kinda disappears after that.
      All of my wishes? That's odd; My mom wouldn't normally give me so much freedom. Whatever.
      I went into my mom's dressing room, sat down, and opened the book.
      "I wish to look normal again," I said aloud.
      "Is that your one wish?" asked the book, in a creepy fortune-teller woman's voice.
      "Wait, only one wish?"
      "Yes."
      "Ok then, that's not my wish, since this'll wear off soon anyway..." I thought for a minute. "Could I wish to be all-powerful?"
      "Of course," said the book.
      "Alright then, I wish to be all-powerful," I told it.
      "Your wish has been granted."
      Immediately I was returned to my normal form.
      I looked over at a lamp and pointed at it, willing it to change forms. Nothing hapoened.
      I asked the book what the deal was.
      "By gaining all power, you have also taken the wishes from all others."
      Whatever that means.
      I looked at the book and the page was like a touch screen, with a list of names with wishes on it and two buttons next to each: "Grant" and "Ignore." I saw one person that wanted some kind of superpower, and picked "Grant."
      Because of this, I was now able to use my powers.
      I don't remember what happened, though.

      There's another bit of a dream that I remember.
      Me and my dad were on the edge of the highway with another car. We and the people from that car were all standing around with a bunch of bags and stuffed animals. My dad loaded the stuffed animals into the back of our car, and the other people loaded the suitcases into their own car. I sat in the passenger seat to wait. My dad got in the car and started driving away all of a sudden. I yelled at him wondering what the heck he was doing; Half of our stuff hadn't been packed and the trunk was open so that everything in it was falling out. I insisted he turn around.
      I woke up after that.

      12/3/10 - Parting Kiss
      Dream Non-Dream Lucid

      I was in my school with a bunch of other kids, late at night. I didn't know any of them except for this cute blond guy around my age; I think I had a crush on him or something.
      Apparently we were locked in for some unknown reason, and everyone was pretty much cool with it except me because there was somewhere else I had to be.
      I snuck off from the group and made my way towards the school gate to try and get out. The blonde guy followed me.
      There were some obstacles or security of some sort that we had to get through, I don't really remember, but by the time we got to the gate we had some romantic moments or something. Again, I don't remember.
      So at the gate, he helped me pry it open and I just barely slipped through. The gate then snapped back into place and he was unable to move it again.
      I was outside, he was inside. I asked if I'd ever see him again, and he said, "I don't know, but here's something to remember me by," and we kissed through the bars of the gate.
      After we parted, I ran off down the dark street and woke up.
    12. Crowbars

      6/6/10 - Crowbars
      Dream Non-dream Lucid

      I was outside of a large white house. I was in the backyard, and the house's sliding glass back door was open. Somehow I was lucid. I was just about to go off and explore when five or six guys with crowbars appeared. I figured fighting them would ruin my lucidity, so I tried to dream spin my way out of the situation. Nothing happened.

      The crowbar dudes closed in on me. There was no escaping now; I grabbed a crowbar of my own out of thin air and lunged at the nearest guy.

      After beating most of the men to a pulp, I was done; someone seemed to have punched me in the stomach, which would explain how I ended up hunched over on the ground, panting.

      Three men left, one pretty hot(as in sexy, not sweaty), and they looked murderous. Somehow I talked my way out of it, saying that I didn't care if they robbed the big white house (it wasn't mine), and that I really needed to be somewhere so just leave me alone and go rob the house.


      Sadly, I woke up.

    13. Enchanted Retreat

      5/27/10 - Enchanted Retreat

      Dream Non-Dream Lucid

      I was on a class trip of some sort to a week-long retreat. It wasn't anything to do with school; this retreat was to help us learn magic. The building reminded me of a boarding school without classrooms, if that makes sense. It also had a pool out back and was near a beach and some marsh.

      The girls and boys were split up. There were about ten in each group. I don't know where the boys went, but the girls just went on a random walk on the beach.

      On our way back from the beach, I noticed some black sand. One girl explained that it was black because a giant squid had exploded.

      The next day, we learned to fly. All of the girls were standing around the pool with broomsticks. We were supposed to concentrate on hovering.

      Hardly anyone could get it right. Mary and I were somehow able to fly around a bit. Apparently we were "talented."

      I was so excited that I started flying around the marsh, dipping down low and then flying high. It was difficult but I somehow managed.... until I landed. When I got back to the pool, my broom snapped. Whoops. Apparently, it had been given to me by a kind neighbor of Hannah's.

      Oh well.

      On the third day, the entire class just hung out by the pool while we waited for our parents to come pick us up. When mine arrived, they wanted to see what I'd learned.

      I went to the broom closet and found a new broom. When I came out, I noticed Mary showing off her skill and smirked. I could do better. I pushed off the ground hard and flew high over the marsh. I circled a few times before landing in front of my parents. They looked impressed, but not entirely shocked. I guess they've seen flying broomsticks before.

      I woke as we were driving home.

      5/21/10 - Theatre
      Dream Non-dream Lucid

      I was with my friends Hannah and Mary and some huge, expensive-looking theatre. We were waiting in the entrance hall, which was bigger than my house, and from what I could see the entire building was constructed of marble. There was a huge crowd of people waiting with us for a colossal set of doors to open, so that we may be seated for the upcoming performance. Somehow I was lucid. I turned to Mary and informed her of this. "I know that already," she told me. "We planned to meet here, remember?"

      Mary and I made numerous reality checks while Hannah just stood around. I really wanted to go off and explore, but I decided to wait with my friends since they'd bothered to meet me in the dream.


      Sadly, I woke up before anything interesting could happen.

      I should've realized that Mary and Hannah were DC's and gone exploring like I'd wanted.

      5/16/10 - Dragon Fever
      Dream Non-dream Lucid

      I was at a rollercoaster park with some friends. We had split up and were exploring the park when there was a loud roar that came from the sky. I looked up and saw a huge red dragon descending upon the park. People were screaming and running around; total chaos.
      The dragon seemed angry and confused. It shot jets of fire into the sky and clawed blindly at the coasters. My friends gathered around me. We needed to come up with a plan. The dragon was hurt and we needed to calm it down so we could help it. I remember feeling very hot from the dragon's fire.

      I woke up with a fever of 101.1 that pretty much lasted all day.
