Non Lucid - Lucid

this reoccurring nightmare always takes place at my aunts house, and one of the rooms is haunted or has a demon present.

My three friends went in to the room in my aunts house that i knew had some sort of demonic presence in it. So i just stood at the door because i knew the room would probably slam on us and it would only get worse from there. i told my friends over and over as i felt the aura of the presence grow stronger that we had to get out. they didnt listen to me and as the door started to get heavier and heavier behind me i was able to slip out at the last second. then i was in my bed out of no where but couldnt move at all except for lifting my hands. i tried to turn on my phone to get light in the room but the screen wouldnt turn on even after taking out the battery and putting it in multiple times. (damnit why didnt i try and plug my nose!) i was sure that it was the demon/presence that was holding me down from my aunts and this scared the shit out of me so i guess thats why i didnt RC or anything.

I then spent about an hour on the computer, typed up this in my dream journal(this is an edit), and just spent time on the forum getting some better thoughts in my head. Then i decided to try WBTB. I stayed completely still focusing on my breathing for about twenty minutes but i found when i would let my mind wonder a bit the "lead blanket" would become more present and i eventually got to the vibrating that way. however when the vibrating got very strong it began to hurt which lasted about 20 seconds. confused about the duration and thinking my health was in danger i stopped... Should i keep going next time? can everybody do it? i was excited that this was happening but i didn't think the vibrating was supposed to last that long.

Non Lucid - Lucid

from the start of what i can remember i was walking around my grandma's woods trying to find somewhere to pee. i turned around and saw my friend rible who i haven't seen in years standing 10 feet away from me and he asked why there was a boat in the pond.
my friend being there didn't seem unusual but once he spoke of the boat (the one in LD#3) i became so ecstatic and tried explaining my previous dream to him. I started jumping on and over everything i could and then i herd my grandma call for me, i looked over and my friend transformed into this other person i know, nigel. When i saw him i started thinking about possibilities of what i could show him but all i could think of was the plug your nose RC. this was the first time i performed an RC so it felt pretty incredible. however, my friend couldn't do it and for some reason just couldn't put his hand on his nose. I remembered wanting to jump in the lake and breathe under water but i thought this would wake me up so i didn't. I became bored of the scenery so i started thinking about snow and began spinning trying to create a blanket of snow, i remember peaking my eye open and seeing a lot of white as if it were working. then i woke up...

(by far my longest experience and most interesting, definitely going to try and remember to put my finger through my hand or plug my nose again. I feel like all i ever do is just super jump around everywhere. Any ideas on things i should try to remember to do in my next LD?)

Although I cant remember too much of the dream i do remember me and my family were in some sort of great struggle trying to escape a dungeon. As we made it outside we began running towards my grandma's river (pond in real life) where there was a make-shift junky sailboat. I dont remember the actual moment i became lucid) but as we were running towards it i assured them that i was lucid and we would float fine. As we all jumped into the boat we slowly started sinking and the water started to feel like thick sludge. No matter what i tried i could not get it to float so we tried swimming upstream. then i woke up...

(the more i think back on this dream it makes me wonder if you can just dream about becoming lucid.. like as if it was part of the plot of the dream and you dont get dream control)

~ 2 minutes

As me and my friend Neal were inside of a mall, a godzilla/dinosaur like creature began to attack by bashing away at the front of the building. This instantly made me lucid and i turned to my friend to tell him of the great news but he only looked at me like i had 4 heads... i then turned away from him and somehow created some sort of "laser-gun" that just appeared in my hands. i tried to inform my friend again but he still did nothing. I then jumped up and down trying to peak out a hole the monster made, however, I dont remember firing the gun at all. then i woke up...

(this was probably my most successful lucid dream being that i was able to jump insanely high and create matter)

~15 seconds

As i'm walking down some grassy trail, I for some unknown reason glance down at my hands notice something odd about that contrast of the appearance of my hands to the ground. Something about this snapped the realization that i was dreaming and i thought "wow im really lucid dreaming! this is what my friend was telling me about.." i then spent 10 seconds jumping as high as i could and gently floating down while twisting and flipping. then i woke up... wow

(still don't know how this snapped lucidity into me while other things in dreams cant, but thank god it happened or i would have never learned about lucid dreaming.)
