This night was painful at first... But I did discover something new to me. I went to bed 22:10 and I put a pillow against the wall to my left, put myself in a sitting position with pillows behind my back and then leaned with my head to the pillow on my left. I started doing a breathing exercise called "Velvety Smooth Breathing" that is said to help you to get more vivid thoughts and impressions for the image stream technique later on. I lay in my bed and after what felt like 5 minutes I thought about my neck and I imagined that it was uncomfortable and the instant I thought that thought, it became uncomfortable...
I told myself that it was only because I had thought that, so I tried to occupy my mind with daydreaming.
I remember that I thought about the tv show I had watched that day "Smallville". And I imagined myself having superpowers.

All of the sudden I wake up and I move around my pillows and then it hits me "NOOOO I fell asleep and I moved!!! Ah well I better go to sleep then...".

[COLOR="royalblue"]I started to think random thoughts like "I am the new Batman in town" and I saw some green grass field and it was night. I was now dreaming unaware, but the dreams was from now on vivid enough for me to remember almost every single one of them! I wrote in this title that it was 21 dream scenarios and it was, but in total REM dreams it was perhaps 4-5 very long dreams and I still don't remember every dream scene.

I were on the grass-field and I saw five men who tried to break in to a house, then I see a man with a batman suit holding a sniper rifle, he shoots four of the men with sleeping darts from the rifle, but on of the men managed to escape in a car. The dream changes and my dad and I are going to a restaurant to see if they had any good food for later that day. We drove a car that looked exactly like the car in the previous dream, but I didn't noticed that. We stop outside the restaurant and see that they only have fish, and we were tired of fish so me and my dad get out of the car to ask if they can do an exception for us.

The dream changes again and I am in my dad's office at home and I see a small spider on the wall. It looked like a tarantula with some different colors. I thought it was beautiful, but suddenly I see it grow very fast and it wasn't as enjoyable to look at anymore. I starts to crawl on the wall and I think jokingly to myself "Kill it with fire before it lays eggs!". But it wasn't funny when I saw that it was crawling towards me! I looked at it in shock, but then I see that it turned around and walked the other way... Puh... But then I see to my horror that it's crawling into my room!
"Noo how will I ever get to sleep now..." I think to myself. The dream changes and I had some dinner with my friends, but I can't remember what we talked about.

The dream changes again and I am back at the restaurant with my dad, although this time I am at some ice cream stand and I ask them if they took Swedish money because apparently I were in Denmark. The girl I talked to said that they did, but then I remembered that I got some Danish money as well so I gave her that. Then I said I wanted to buy a soda and she suddenly say "Can I borrow your dream?". I looked at her and didn't really understood her question instead I started to explain what a lucid dream was. :shock: (PALMFACE when Facepalm is not enough)...

Then I woke up, I didn't checked the time for some reason, but I wrote down my dreams and then went back to sleep.

Some woman asked me if I played in a football team and my answer was "No I don't play that often..". I then where in some house with a couple of friends and I think we were just sleeping. Then a friend named Astrit told me that he had a meteor rock and I got super excited and I even remember hearing the typical "Smallville" sound effect you hear when the meteor is near Clark. Then some girls of the group needed to get some money from an ATM, so we went with them.
We went ahead and I was fooling around with a friend ( I don't know him in real life) and he told me to do a clap game, that kind of hand clap game you do in elementary school... But in the dream I was totally game :cheeky:
He taught me some routine and then told me that Leela always do that one in Futurama. I have never seen her do that so I just nodded OK. Then we went into some public toilet that was very big, I got high dream control here and I started to freestyle and do le parkour. I remember I did a Sault de Chat or Kong and right in the middle of the air I did a front flip after it. And I was super excited.

Then I woke up again and the time was 04:24.

When I fell back to sleep again I was in some athletics arena and it seemed to be the Olympics. I sat down and talked to some judge and then I saw two dogs competing in "Walking". I saw a little dog I know in real life named Mille and he competed against a much bigger dog. Then Mille jumps out of the court and they had to cancel the match. I talked to the judge about it and then he told me that I could make a t-shirt. I remember writing "Mille Nr 23" and that it was very hard to write. I got a cookie and 20 Swedish krona. I then saw two people from my old class "Amanda and Felix".
They waved to me and signaled me to go to them. On my way to them I heard a Westlife like song where they were singing "Center of the earth". Then when I got to my old classmates we talked for a bit and I also remember that my parents joined and embarrassed me a bit... Then I said "This was nice but Amanda we got to meet up sometime." and she answered "Yes we should".

I woke up again and had some more dreams, but I was almost tired of recording them now so I only ended up remembering the last one.

I was out with my friend David and we were trying to get our Scuba Diving Certificate D. It was called D1 in the dream.
I remember that we were a large group and I really sucked at swimming, it was impossible to control, although now when I think back, I think it's kind of cool that the water felt so real for being a dream. This dream ended with me accidentally swallowing some weird slopy thing from the water and I panicked while I was tying to get it out.

I woke up 07:10 to alert to fall back to sleep again.

What I learned from these dreams was that we dream far more than we think we are. And if I fall asleep while I am laying in that sitting position, I actually wake up very close to where my vivid REM dreams starts and it also improves my recall and awareness of my dreams. If this is the case every night, then I really need to find a way to get lucid by either trying to WILD right when I wake up so a DEILD, or trying to find a way to make reality checks while I am dreaming.

But if my dream recall is going to be this great every day, I am not even sure I am going to have the energy to write it all down, unless it's a lucid dream of course =) We'll see ;)
