DR 5am - illegals crossing river; in class with teacher S; game show on TV

Thursday 1/4/2012
Took an evening nap - new HH - 1 tiny heart and 1 happy face

Friday Jan.6/2012 bed 11:55pm

Set up another experiment - put a small piece of paper with one letter and a colored pen on top of my kitchen cabinet to try to see it in OBE.

GM at 5am
woke up from OBE at 6:35am

OBE#6
I’m in my bed trying to OBE/WILD. I suddenly realize, I see my room from the correct vantage point, as I’m laying on my left side. It’s darker than in WL (I have some nightlights IWL). All I see is left side of the bed. Right next to me is my cat. I see her as energy in shape of sleeping, balled-up cat. I immediately start rolling out. It takes me a few tries, I’m amazed, she is like a little speed bump. I’m not worried about hurting her, because I know, IWL she is closer to my feet.

So I roll out and fall to the ground. I start crawling on all four towards the kitchen. IWL, its about 8 feet from my bed. As I’m crawling in total dark, I realize, I could feel my way. As I raise my right arm, I bump into a piece of furniture. I grab the round, smooth, cool leg of a desk/chair. Right behind it is a cabinet. I don’t know how, but next thing I’m looking at the top of the kitchen cabinet. It’s much brighter now and I can see a piece of paper identical to the one I put up there IWL and I clearly see capital letter T. Next to it is a small packet of handy-wipe and text on it is in orange cursive. I take it as a color of a pen I left up there. Other than this, there is a bunch of letters and postcards, addressed to me. I can clearly read my full name written in cursive, not in my handwriting. There is also a book. I really wish I could read that all, but I wake up.

After I wake up, I check , if I got the letter and color right. Nope, the paper I left up there has a big square on it and the pen is green.

I was disappointed, especially, because I don’t own any table or chair, that could account for the leg I grabbed in OBE, and I really wanted to go OOB in physical realm - identical or near identical to waking life. It took me almost 2 days to realize, that I actually do, and It’s exactly where I felt it.

I played back in my mind, how I rolled out and crawled and as I’m following my path, I see a small foot-rest, that has 4 6-inch legs and they look exactly as what it felt in my OBE.

WBTB 7am-817am

Regular Dream:
I’m in Mexico. Some nice resort. We go to the pool. Beautiful clear blue water. I dive in, feels good. Next time we come, the pool is closed. Someone with flu contaminated it. Bunch of people disappointed.

We decide to go to the beach, but we see dark clouds gathering in the distance. Wind is starting and I see something like a tornado. I take pictures. People are trying to take shelter in the yard of the hotel. I’m in the yard, next to the door. Someone is banging it, trying to get in. The white door is locked and padlocked. I open it anyway and in walk two children. More people come in. Also one female officer. We start to joke, saying wow, this is not a dream, unlike other, that were dreams. I agree with her, this is not a dream.

Then a big UFO appears in the sky. We are all looking up. I'm taking lots of pictures. The UFO separates into different shapes, it’s trying to tell us something. Suddenly, a pile of broken-up weapons appear on the ground. I have a feeling, they tell us to “take out the trash”, as in weapons are trash of the mankind and we should get rid of them.

Traveling on train with my friend M. There are 3 different stations, that feel like videogame levels.

Lots of dreams, didn’t write them down

Tuesday, Jan.3, 2012 Bed 1:30am GM+choline 5:49am

I set up an experiment in case I have an LD/OBE in my room.

The Experiment:
I wrote 10 individual capital letters on small, 1x1 inch squares of paper.

Without looking at them, I shuffled them and picked one of them out. I placed this one on top of the cabinet in the kitchen. I had to use a little footstool to reach, even then I just barely reached. Rest of them were put away, so I can’t see them even by accident. My plan was in an LD/OBE to fly up there and look what letter it is and then confirm in the morning.

Woke up at 5:49 after a dream and took GM4mg +300mg choline.

LD
I’m in a house with my friend K and her 2 kids. It’s about 10 am and I’m about to take a nap to LD. K tells me, not to sleep too long, because J will have some recital/show in her school and we are going to attend.

I wake up and immediately fly out the window. Before I get too far I remember, that I wanted to check the top of the cabinet. I come back, kids want to let me in through an opened window but it’s too small so I have them open a balcony door.

Now this following part is not too clear to me as in order of events, because there were 2 FAs in between.

I ask a guy in the kitchen, I think he is a fireman, to get me the paper off the cabinet. He hands me the paper and says here you go. I look at it and it’s a small piece of paper, maybe 5x3 inches and has some math problems on it. It resembles a test we used to take in grade school.

I search among the text for a letter, that would be different. There is a stamped “U” in light blue ink, with serif. I write only sans-serif. Rest of the text is handwritten.


The paper doesn't seem right and I realize it's FA. I decide to check again. I pull up a footstool and look on top of the cabinet. There is more papers just like the one the fireman showed me. There is also some chocolate and a plastic bag with stuff I can’t see. I look for my paper but I don’t see it. So I look at another math paper and again I look for something different. There is a handwritten letter that looks like this:


I read it as U.

I have another FA.
I’m flying outside again and land on a top of tall building, that continues as a street. There is a bad guy on lower level. I’m holding a bunch of tree branches so I break some off and throw it at him as grenades. I aim another branch at another guy and shoot it as a rifle. I fly away. I’m trying to get to the orbit to look at Earth. But I don’t stop in time and I overshot the orbit. I look around but don’t see the Earth or the moon.

I’m back on the streets and the town is getting cartoonish.

I wake up IWL and go look at the paper. I'm disappointed, because I read it as C. But as I put it down on the counter, it turnes and I realize, it also could be an U.


I didn’t have fast reaction as last time. Barely any images and I though maybe the GM in capsule was not 4mg, or something went wrong. I got very weak vibrations 3-4 times, but nothing materialized from it. I got a fairly weak headrush 2 times, and that’s how I entered a dream. One time I was able to change direction while in acceleration and even levitate up twice, but each time I very gently came back down. Towards the end, I saw movie of some people in a house, but I think one just got murdered so I was not eager to enter that one for sure. Both FAs I RCd finger/palm.

I'll put another piece of paper to the top of the cabinet so it's ready for my next LD.

Sat. 12/31/2011 Bed 1:30am

I set my goal to OOB or LD. For OOB - look at my sleeping body, my astral hands and cord. Go to the orbit and from there go see my mom in Europe. I’m in US.

GM+Choline 5:47am

I had 2 OBEs before 8 am and LD between 8:30-11am.

OBE#1.
Starts as a dream. I’m in a big, bright room with friend of mine and her two kids. It’s a living room and a bedroom. It’s not my place and it’s not my friends place. We are playing.

Then I go to sleep and I try to have an OBE. I feel the telltale tingling in the back of my head. I come to the point, when I decide to try and roll out from my body. I kinda expect to hit the floor. I’m amazed, when what feels like 3 inches from the floor I ‘bounce off’ the ‘antigravity energy field’.

I immediately start walking away from the bed, not wanting to get pulled back. It's not very hard to walk, feel only a slight pull. I don’t stop, until I come to the end of the hallway with some windows on left and door at the end. I want to stop while inside, don’t want to go out yet and split second later I remember I wanted to see my sleeping body.

I struggle to see better/open my eyes. Although I see quite well, I feel like my eyes are closed, but not the feeling as I’m looking through my eyelids. I manage to open one eye just a little bit and I see much better, but I’m not sure, if that’s not my sleeping eye so I don’t continue opening it.

I turn around and look for a cord. I don’t see it, but I know it’s there. I follow it back to the bed. First thing I see is the end of the bed, rest of it is hiding behind the wall. I’m curious to see if the bed is empty and I’m in LD, or if there is a sleeping body.

As I come closer, I’m amazed to see the sheet pushed up by what clearly looks like two feet and legs of a person sleeping on his back. I come closer and again with amazement, I see a sleeping person. She is wearing an orange t-shirt, with sheets reaching half way up the torso. I know it’s me, puffy cheeks and all. The person was not sleeping in the same position, as I was when going to sleep and when waking up (right side).

I exit the place and find myself floating between two 10 story apartment buildings, like you find in central/eastern Europe. I remember my goal to go to the orbit and I want to fly straight up. It’s not working as I wanted, so I approach the building and propel myself with my hands grabbing on to balconies to go higher.

I find myself on the ground behind a corner. I think it’s over, but then I realize I could look at my hands and know for sure. I look at my hands. They look very gentle, light yellow/see-through energy and they quickly fade away. I did look at my hands one more time during this experience, but not sure when.

OBE#2
I wake up briefly, just long enough to say “lets try this again”. I feel the tingling in back of my head again and will myself to levitate, but it’s not really working. I think I decide to just go to sleep when I realize, I have my ceiling about 6’’ from my face. I immediately say “to the window” and I feel myself in the top left corner of my window, the exact location, where I was practicing to end up. I’m in my apartment.

I again remember I wanted to go to the orbit. I try, but it’s difficult to fly. I try superman style. Then, I’m next to a building, still up in the air. I know I don’t want to go through the wall as this could be a portal. But I fly in anyway. I feel the change. Inside is a bigger space than I would expect from size of the building. It’s warm, filled with semi-liquid, very soft dark grey matter that separates, as I float through it. I feel like I shouldn’t be here and exit through the wall on the left side.

I never felt presence of my helpers. Did I surprise them and got out when they were not expecting it, or this wasn’t an OBE? The more I think about it, I feel that this was a low awareness OOB. But I’m opened to suggestions. I have read about APs for many hours before bed last night.

LD#11
I wish I got up to write it down, but I didn’t. I kept repeating to myself what it was about, but by the time I got up, it was too late. Actually I feel like I may have written it down, but there is nothing in my DJ.

School trip with H.

Sunday Dec.25, 2011
Bed 12:30am

I made a contract to have an LD.

Regular DR.
- I'm in a hospital setting, but I'm not sick. Big bright rooms, lot's of instruments. Kinda quiet and peaceful.
- Find some old piece of meat and something nasty falls out of it as I'm taking it to the trash can. A mean person claims I'm hiding it for myself and makes me give it to her. I tell her it's dangerous and gross. She doesn't listen.
-Something about cooking noodles and grinding pecans for it.

GM 4mg+Choline 300mg at 6:50am

DR - I spilled water on my bed, had to change the sheets. As I'm putting the comforter on, it suddenly gets heavier and heavier. That strikes me as odd (first time something strikes me as odd) and think that it must be a dream. No time to RC, because as the weight of the comforter pulls my head over the bed, I enter in "headrush" - acceleration feeling of my head racing through field of stars. I say "faster" and faster we go.

LD#10 - I end up in my parent’s bedroom, making beds. I see my auntie and I give her a hug. Her dark red pajamas with small pattern of green are very soft, as brushed cotton. I feel it to stabilize. Also touch the closet, light brown, high polish, slippery and cool to the touch. Frantically rub my hands to stabilize, but I wake up.

It's already past 8am and lots of noise outside, can't really sleep. But have a couple of visuals, I fly over a dream and although I'm not thrilled with it, I decide not to take a chance and enter it, maybe change it later. But for some reason I don't land in it.

Dec.21st, 2011, Wednesday. GM+Choline

I wrote a little contract again to have a lucid tonight. Read Waggoner’s book, did my RCs and my mantra. I also gave thanks for my previous LDs. And I got me my #9.

DR #1- I’m in a back seat behind a driver in my own car. I should be driving and I’m not happy that someone else is.
DR #2- My cousin K
I remembered lots more, but couldn’t wake myself up to write them down for good 20 minutes, and by then that’s all I remembered.

Took GM 4mg at 4:05am.
Tried to either WILD, or if that didn’t work, just fall asleep. Woke up from LD at 5:45

LD and the experience:
At first no visuals, my field of view is dark grey, just like proper backside of your eyelids should look like Then suddenly BAM. Lights turn on, my whole view gets bright and a graphic of top part of classic alarm clock shows up in bright golden color on white (like backlit) background, together with headrush.

I get all excited and I know I shouldn’t so I try to calm down. Then the movie strip starts with some black and white pictures. They are going by at blazing speed. All I can think of is “yes, yes, dream, dream”.

I start to feel/wish to get my dream body hover over my sleeping body and I feel my whole body levitate some inches above my bed. I see my room awash in dark green, as if I was in a pond with green water (just like last time, when I saw my room like this).

I start to will my body to move out of position over my bed. First my head moves over carpet, then my body follows. I’m still in laying down position, just turned by maybe 15 degrees, so my head leads the way.

I start to float over my carpet next to my bed. I’m going through the kitchen, speeding up a little. The whole time I keep saying “keep going”. Then there is a wall separating me from my neighbor’s apartment. I will myself to go through it.

Inside the wall is dark and longer than I thought it will be. I expect to enter neighbor’s room, but no. I emerge in a small room, I feel like its underground. Looks like something you would find in Italy - a cellar type of place. The room is whitewashed and the paint has fallen off in some places. You can see masonry underneath. I’m standing up now.

I don’t like this place. In a hurry to get out of there, I forget to RC or stabilize. By the way, I usually forget to do that when entering an LD by WILD. I go through the nearest wall and I visualize a nice beach behind it. But no, there is another room similar to previous one. I feel a need to get out.

I look to my right and there is a two wing glass door, with one side wide open. There is a street at night behind it. I decide to exit here. By the time I get to the door, I’m already flying. Just like I used to in my previous LD, but not in my very last one. I hover couple of feet over the street. Look up at the sky and see the moon. As I look better, I open my eyes and I’m awake in my bed. RC couple of times in disbelief that it’s over. But it’s over. I get up to write it down.

DR at 7:18am
A girl from church charity comes to the house and gives a boy and a girl living there some swimsuits. As I’m putting them away, I notice, that they change pattern and colors as I hold them. Decide to go and show it to people in the house. I show them the swimsuit, then hide it behind my back and when we see it again, it looks completely different. We are all amazed.

The lady in the house bought some old furniture and I notice, there are some bad forces associated with them. There is a lady, I don’t really remember what I have done to her, but we fought and next thing I see, she is floating in a canal with green water and some algae growing on the sides. She is looking at us and smirking, as if she wasn’t hurt.
A delivery guy brings another piece of furniture. He walks straight to the kitchen a pours himself a shot of vinegar. I told the lady, she has to send the furniture back.

I’m trying to sleep and LD.

Then I’m standing in front of some cages made of walls. First cage has a boarded-up window. I poke at it with a stick. An old, really dirty guy opens the board unexpectedly.
Next cage has two lions behind a screen window. I also poke at it.

Dec.17,2011. Saturday

Went to bed at 12:15 am GM 4mg+300mg Choline at 4:22am. Lucid before 6:44am.

Few thing that played a role in me getting lucid last night.

1. I wanted to take GM already night before, but went to bed really late - 2am.
2. Read a thread on DV about making a "contract" to get an LD - I thought what a heck, it can't hurt. So I wrote one as an afterthought just before bed.
3. Took GM
4. Read R.Waggoner's Lucid Dreaming book just before bed and I just got to the really good part and was stoked about learning some new stuff, but i got this overpowering feeling to go to sleep and have an LD. So I did.
5. I started a new RC 2 days ago (little RC song about looking at my hands and getting lucid from it)

New element:
- First lucid longer than just seconds (one long was maybe 4 min) 7minutes long
- First time I counted my fingers (10 fingers on each hand)
- First time I reached in my pocket and pulled out what I expected to find there
- First time had time to RC more than once and touch walls
- First time flying by flapping arms in Lucid
- First time expected to change the scenery when turned around

DR at 4:22 am before GM
I'm in town NZ on C street. Someone is jumping on a trampoline, falling back on it and jumping up again. On top of the hill are some puddles - 2 elements are merging to create new lifeforms.

GM+Choline at 4:22 am

Went straight back to bed in hope to fall asleep and get up at 7 am for 1 hour WBTB.
But started to have some pretty strong color (golden) visuals like before HH, so I thought I'll go with it and see what happens.

So I guess I got in a WILD, because next thing I know I'm lucid. Pretty strange feeling, because I stayed aware of my body in bed. I guess it's because my cats body was touching mine and I was not able to fully detach from waking life.

LUCID: I enter into series of lucids, they continue, even after I change position. I was able to do everything you suppose to do in LD, which I was not able to do until now, because I guess, this was most evolved LD I had so far.

I start out at home in town NZ, in my bed in living room. I have a headrush and wake up in bed. I know it’s a LD and get up. I remember thinking to be carefull and not to squish my cat as rolling out of bed and chuckled at the thought, since I knew I had no physical body.

Then I’m a soldier in barracks. It’s night and me and my buddy are sneaking out to shop for some food. As we come to the door, I hear some noise and open the door slowly with my weapon aimed at the door. In walks another soldier and we are relieved, it’s not the enemy. My buddy makes a pit stop in the restroom, that suspiciously looks like restroom in GTA3 I’m playing IWL.

Some kids with their instructor are in the courtyard. She is telling them something about chickens. I leave the courtyard.
Outside are small, really cozy looking little streets with nice little houses in orangeish hues. I know all is changed because of the filming they are doing there. I read some signs – street names sound Finnish. But I know I’m not in Finland – they just changed the décor for filming.

I remember to stabilize – rub and clap my hands together. I have 10 fingers on each hand, they look normal otherwise.

Wall of the house is orange with some white ornaments, feels little bit bumpy. It’s dark outside, street light are on. I look down the street to the skies and couple times yell lights, or something like that. It gets a little lighter. I realize, I’m not really yelling, just whispering and I’m aware of my throat on my sleeping body.

Walk through winding street lined with trees and flowers and think lets fly instead. I fly up flapping my arms, not as easy as before in LDs, but make it to the roof.

Next I’m in a hungarian food fair. I immediately look for sausage to eat. I see chafing dishes under heat lamps on display full of pork chops and fish. No sausage. So I ask one of the guys if I can have a taste. I remember, I should not have expectation of taste. When I eat the fish, it’s kinda watery, but not so bad.

The other guy comes closer and offers taste of different fish. I accept. I know I don’t have any money to pay them. But I do know, all I have to do is reach in my pocket and expect to pull out money. So I reach in and pull out some coins, (they look like old roman coins) which I know is more then 3 coins, they were asking for. But I make them say it’s not enough, because I have an agenda, which is suitable only for my personal DJ

I keep counting my fingers. Even before I finish counting, I know I’m in a dream, because there is a small sore on my left ring finger, that I know is not there IWL. But still finish counting and it’s still 10 on each hand.

I know this is a different caliber of LD, because until now in my LDs, I was flying like superman, or levitating without any effort. In this one, I had to flap my arms, although I went very easily, mostly because I told myself it’s easy and I can do it.
While on a roof, I say ‘when I turn around, there will be town B”, which I had a plan to explore. But there was some other town or something else, couldn’t really make it out.

first part of LD was sleeping on my right side, second part on left side.

12/12 monday

Could not sleep last night, finally fell asleep at 4am. Got up at 7am.

Went for a nap (WILD) at 1pm. Fell asleep and had a super short lucid.

I'm in this very large room - looks like a high school gymnasium. I'm shoving someone "look, what I can do" and I levitate a bust of some guy out of the shelf and something else.

I'm floting in the air while I do this and take the person I'm shoving my skills off by shoulder and we rise higher. As I'm flying/floating about, I can hear myself repeating "I'm dreaming".

At the same time, I hear a voice from somewhere deep in my mind wondering, how long it will take "her" to realize, she is dreaming. [As I was falling asleep, I was saying "I'm dreaming"].

I could feel the realization coming and suddenly I knew I was dreaming. Told myself not to get too excited and I almost went to do something, when remembered, that I need to stabilise. So I looked at my hands - they looked normal, they had normal color, I could see the wrinkles - but as I looked, I opened my IWL eyes and that was the end of it.

I'm very happy today - I get to update my LD count to 6. It was very short and remembered it when I woke up from it, but didn't write it down, because I was trying to WILD for 3 hours and this LD happend in a micro sleep somewhere in a midle of my effort. Then I forgot about it and I just remembered it almost 4 hours later. Imagine my surprise and my happiness

I slept from 12:30 am till 6:10am, got up for an hour and went back to bed to WILD.

So I'm walking down this town. It's an older, european town, especially to church tower I can see in the distance. I'm walking on a street level, but I see the town as a big 3D map, kinda in an angle infront of me. Then I think to myself that I would see better from birds eye view and raise my arms like a superman and without any effort I take off at an angle and fly over this town at very comfortable, leisurly pace. When I get up there, the beauty of the towns strikes me and I'm telling myself "I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming" and feel the excitement build. [realized I'm dreaming while flying]

Then I woke up and continued my effort to recreate yesterday's incredible morning with great WILD elements.

[I have been playing GTA and I have been dreaming GTA for almost every night, but can't recall any specifics, untill today - I had a family business - ambulance services]- this was before my WBTB.

After WBTB - I was on a pleasure boat ride, that looked more like a simple fishing boat for 3-4 people, when we noticed it's filling up with water. Nobody got worried, but we started to make "floaties" for kids from pieces of wood and string. Then we realized, they are heavy and took them off to be used more as a flotation device - the one you just grab onto. Suddenly the boat is bigger and I'm still inside, just now making my way out and as I do, I can feel the boat is tilting more and more. I'm not worried, I know I'll get out ok and no one else was left inside, so I don't feel bad.

Regular Lucid dreamsigns
MILD/DILD
I was commuting from work to shopping center, when front tire of my scooter got a flat. So I was walking around this typical California style shopping center with stores lining a big, square shaped parking lot, looking for a tire repair shop. Sometimes I took a shortcut through some nightmarish buildings, where bad things were waiting for me. I was throwing sleeping grenades at bad things so they don't wake up and attack me from by back. I tried to imagine the smoke from the grenades, but no joy. So I backed out from these buildings and continued my search for a tire shop. I met two former classmates, that were not willing to give me a ride and a really rude sales person in a shop.

Then I find myself in a huge 1-story hangar-type building. There are thousands of people - looks to me like we are all kids, maybe 15 years old. There are exits on one side of the hangar, so we form lines to exits. But when we get to exits, they are actually corridors like a maze, that if we do it right, will lead us out of this place, where I felt we were not safe. We follow the kids in front of us but loose site of them. Now we don't know how to get out.

Finally we come to this door. Look out the window and see some grassy landscape. But the view outside starts to move to the right and our landscape is now lined up with an exit to the right of us. In front of us is a wet landscape with mud, lots of wood piled up. We exit and approach what looks like remnants of a firefight. Burned out car and such. Right there is a building that looks like a barn and it doesn't have a front wall. Inside is light up by a lamp and there are military type rucksacks and from the ceiling hangs a sigh that says "Your Employer" and some red and blue military badge. From this I understand, that my group of people were put in this dream scenario, where we are supposed to act out the scenario for someone's amusement.

I see in a distance group of fighters, their uniforms look British, but not modern. Maybe from era when they were in India. They are coming closer to us and we start looking for weapons to protect ourselves from them. There is a bunch of weapons on the ground. I pick a sturdy looking sword and something heavy to hit with. Then they come to us and we realize, that we are the new guys for their unit, the replacements. I suddenly realize, that This is a dream. I look at my left hand, it's all grey and my middle finger is much longer than it should be. I try to make it even longer and it stretches out to more than 10 feet. I start to touch my clothes and leg of a soldier to stabilize the dream. I yell stabilize lucidity, increase clarity. It's getting brighter, like at sunrise, but clarity is not much better. Then my mom wakes me up IRL.

October 11, 2011

regular lucid
WBTB that collapsed and was reentered as an accidental, unintentional WILD

I slept from 4pm till 7 pm. Got up, watched the TV, had dinner, glass of wine, read the DV - AL3ZAY's "My WBTB Lucid Dreaming Techniques & Tip For Re-Entering A Collapsed Lucid Dream" tutorial, forgott to RC all day). Went back to bed at 10.40pm, feeling sleepy.

Woke up at 11.35pm after 2 LDs - second was reentered, after first one collapsed, thanks to AL3ZAY's WBTB tutorial on reentering collapsed dream).

Regular dream: Coming to a friends house. Lots of people inside, some kind of celebration. Walking through many rooms, getting a bad feeling. Trying to leave, somebody is trying to stop me. Finding a window and floating out. (Since started reading DV, I fly very easily just floating, before had to put some effort to it).

Suddenly at my house. Hopped on a fence, realized I'm lucid. (First time that became lucid without looking at my hand). Started spinning to stabilize, but remembered, that in AL3ZAY's tutorial he spins to the left, so I changed direction and spun to the left. Licked the wall and ate a piece of a plant (didn't taste anything). Did RC finger through palm (my very first finger/palm RC. It really felt like my palm was from play-doh, strange feeling). Someone walked by my room and the footsteps woke me up. Dream mustn't have been stable enough, because also had not much clarity. Again, from the tutorial, I remembered how to reenter the dream. Stayed motionless with eyes closed. Started to have the strangest feeling of sinking into my bed really deep and keep sinking. I realized, somebody is screaming and woke up a little bit, when I recognized, that it was me screaming (silently), accompanied with a shrinking feeling). I let go of it and continued sinking into my bed. It was, as if my bed was 10 feet deep. Woke up on a sidewalk of a very busy town. I was excited and said Hi to a little girl, that was part of a larger group of people. She looked at me as if saying - get over it, you are not the first, and I'm getting tired of you guys getting so excited and talking to me. Behind me was a large area, looked like park/parking lot with a fountain, on left side was a big shopping center, in front of me was a row of tall buildings, and on the right side was a cathedral. All buildings were touching each other and looking crammed. I decided to walk towards the shopping center, but my idea was more to walk away from the cathedral. Then some nun bumped into me and I felt a pinch on my shoulder. People stopped and I was asking them what did she do. Then I was in different part of the town, less people, nighttime. I looked up and saw the moon. Decided to go there. Started lifting up. There were thousands of space ships, shuttles, satellites and stars were beautiful and there was so many of them. I started to cry from seing such a beauty. Then I woke up.

Regular dream: I'm in the dorm of my school. It's end of the school year and we are packing to go home for the summer break. Finding all kind's of different things. I asked my friends, if they don't want to come back and finish packing the next day, that I'll bring my car and it will be easier to move.

[Woke up after 6 1/2 hours of sleep (8pm-2.30am, stayed up on PC about 20 min, went back to bed, thought about LDing, meteor shower and my upcoming class reunion, did some "Am I dreaming" and looking at my hand and saying my mantras. Fell asleep shortly after 4am). Woke up immediately after getting ½ way to LD at 4.45am].

Dream:
It's at night and I'm at my class reunion. I'm talking to my friends for a little while. Then I'm in adjacent room with big wall full of windows. Suddenly I see a huge bolide streaking through the skies from right to left. It's beautiful. I see some hills on the left and I know if I don't get higher, I will loose this meteorite behind the hill. Suddenly I feel as I was on a see-saw. I'm slowly lifting in the air without any effort and slowly coming back to ground. I do this couple of times. Then instead of coming back down, I keep going higher. Feels good but I'm surprised and I look up asking myself "wow, how high is this ceiling?". "I'm dreaming". My hand comes into view and looks almost normal, except mi middle finger is little longer than it should be. I realize that from this point it could go either way - turn lucid or continuing with regular dream. So I start willing my finger to stretch longer while repeating to myself "I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming." I'm still high all the way to the ceiling.
I get scared of the dark and wake myself up. Man, I wish I wasn't such a scaredy-cat.

It was late evening, dark. I was with another person (male) and 2 kids on a shore of a long lake, with small lit-up houses/shops on the right. (In the morning I realized it reminded me of a shoreline of Avalon on Catalina Island in California, where ocean is to your left, there is a walkway with simple guardrail and shops/houses right across the street on the right side).

We were all dressed in pants, t-shirts and windbreakers. We decided to go to an evening outdoor concert. I realized that it's colder than we thought and I had to go to get some more clothes. So I started walking by the handrail towards the houses on the other side of the lake, when I decided to fly there. I hopped up on the guardrail and jumped up and flew quite fast over the lake, with arms spread out, like a Superman.

(Now, I did fly in my dreams quite often, but always with trouble, never been able to fly high, mostly just climb on a tree and flap my arms really hard, or jump in the air couple times while flapping my arms like a madman and take a flight, but only few feet of the ground).

In a middle of the lake I thought to myself "This would be great time to have a dream". Two things happened at the same time. I got a very strong feeling emanating from my abdomen area, something like great joy and I KNEW that Lucid Dream is coming, and my right hand lifted in front of me. It was all distorted, fingers like waves, flat, kinda like geckos toes, and seemed to be more of them than five. This view of my hand freaked me out a little bit.

I asked myself if I'm dreaming and with grin from ear to ear I answered yes. I forgot all about getting clothes and thought about what to do now that I'm lucid. I figured let's fly someplace. (I love flying dreams.) Started flying around but everything was dark. Got kinda disappointed and woke up.

[Went to bed around 12.45am, woke up from a dream at 2.53am.
Before bed, I read for couple hours about LD, practiced nose pinch and finger through palm RC and saying that "Next time I dream, I will RC and realize I'm dreaming".

Didn't really practice the looking at the hand and counting fingers RC, just a few times, much less than other RCs. But when in bed, I did my mantra and looked at my hand and asked myself if I'm dreaming as I was falling asleep for about 15 minutes. And yet, the hand RC showed up and got me lucid.]
