    Adventure to Lucidity

    My goal with this journal is to become skilled at dream recall. The eventual goal I have in mind is to be able to have 3 or more lucid dreams a night. I'm still exploring what all is possible in a lucid dream, but I have real goals and things I'd like to accomplish in these lucid dreams. They all revolve around making me better, and growing myself as a person and human being. So welcome to the ride and adventure. If you're reading my DJ entries, then thank you! Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think!

      I wasn’t necessarily in a first person mode with this dream. Not sure how that happens.
      This one is comprised of a couple of dreams. First one, starts with a briefing like a mission briefing, there’s a woman there with men in suits. They are obviously from some form of agency of some kind, but it’s not clear if they are law enforcement. They explain a mission which I cannot remember, and they send a woman to tail/get info from/kill/sleep with a man. He has some kind of importance, and the details of her preparation of fuzzy, but I remember flashes of images that I can’t put words too. Finally he gets there, and she has many different objects, sticks, two katana, and ropes. The man is intrigued and seems to be expecting her. They begin their business and a pretty raunchy sex scene takes place. First he’s in control, taking her clothes off and then finally his own. He bends her over and they begin having sex until. Eventually she gets up and sits him on a chair, ties him up with his arms spread with the sticks. She places the katana between his back and the stick to make him stand up straight and uncomfortable. She then searches for something, finds what she needs, and takes the other katana and runs him through with it. Yeah strange, but I never remember being in the first person with any character. Never had a dream like that.

      The second dream takes place in a car. My dad drives down the high way, and my sister is sitting up front with him. We start talking about things we don’t like about this particular town. Apparently Courtney my girlfriend is there for work now, and there’s also a college there that paige is thinking about going too…But it’s a tiny, terrible, conservative college. I start explaining things I don’t like about this place and my dad gets frustrated with me. Thinks I’m too liberal when I started explaining that all the prejudice and hatred towards non Christian people is bad here. Also trying to get paige to not sell herself short and apply to a larger institution.

      My first recollections start I think somewhere in the middle of the night. The dream is fuzzy, but it involves my work. All I can connect it too mostly is training for the position, which is a week long ordeal. But it quickly transitions into a chase scene and then finally into a science fiction style dream. I was the one chasing the criminal at first. I believe he may have stole some type of weapon. Eventually, I have caught him, and he resembles a male version of an Asari (from Mass Effect). Once caught he actually helps us detect when alien, and enemy space ships enter our atmosphere so we can prepare for an attack. The dream has started after a rather large and devastating attack. His psychic powers act as a front line of defense.

      I can only recall a small fragment, but I can remember telling some little girl that I am not a Christian. She seemed shocked and that someone like me couldn’t be a Christian. That’s all I remember, shock on her face.9/

      Only a small fragment. Woke up this morning a few times and kept jumping back into the same dream with my current staff at my assistantship. I got fired for missing a small event. Everyone got a slip that rehired them and I didn’t. O Well

    5. This one was long 9/16/2011

      by , 09-16-2011 at 12:46 PM (Adventure to Lucidity)
      This one might be long. It wasn’t lucid oranything, but it was pretty vivid. There wasone point where I can remember purposefully changing something in the dream. But anyway.
      So I am on a trip back from graduate school to home for the summer. It comes time for me to leave, and my mom and I are going to take the 17 hour drive back to school together. Well she lives in a new house in this dream, and I go outside to say good by to our family dog Maya. Some one, I think my sister had shown me a little video of a snake bitting an killing a small animal right outside the parch. So I’m cautious making sure to watch where I’m stepping. Then I see it, a cold grey head sticking out of a bush midway up just staring at me with black eyes. I give it a wide birth and pick up my dog. At that point I walk down some steps and try to get a little further away, and there’s a bag of leaves hanging from the porch. Guess what’s inside? The same type of snake lunges at my hand and gives me a quick bite. Nothing so terrible but it begins to burn immediately and I run inside. My dog goes berserk and protects me while I walk inside. Real world thoughts kept creeping in. I had expected to leave really early in the morning so I could get back to school in time for a meeting that I actually have today. Weird, I know. So my mom and I go over to my uncle and aunt’s house in order to use his car to get me to the hospital, since my mom’s is fully packed. We walk around back and the yard opens up. There is a gigantic house and mansion made of concrete in their what seems to be new ranch sized yard. It is painted blue and done up to look exactly like a mansion…but all of its surfaces are concrete. It even has a wrap around porch. Inside, it’s full of people, red necks. I’m not trying to be mean, these people were so incredibly country. The floor to the living room was made of hay. The worst part about this ‘mansion’ was to get from the front rooms to the back ones and the garage, is to jump down this ledge where they never put stairs in. But they did take the cushion off of a huge couch and put it underneath. My uncle, and even my mom jump down easily. So I get up, look down, and the drop looks to be 20 feet to me. I get super nervous and just can’t do it. This is when I remember wishing someone could help me down, and a man that must have been over 7 feet tall comes up and says in a country accent “Wan’ some help?” He grabs my hand and helps me jump down…the drop has turned into a mere 8 foot fall. I feel embarrassed. Then for some reason we still don’t go to the hospital, but instead these people were throwing a giant party or get together. So many people come and eat food. We all talk about the snake that bit me, and from what DCs were saying it’s not a native snake from the area. I guess something happens and I no longer need the hospital, and I’m in my mom’s house. I walk for the back door and her dog is jumping up on me wanting out. He’s cute and I remember feeling him jump up on me excitedly. Then I woke up.

      So the one good thing about sleeping through a few alarms and snoozing? I jumped into some dreams. I don’t remember being lucid, but it was fairly vivid. I’m in a game shop with tons of people ranging in ages from 10 year olds to adults. We are all there for something and then they started giving away packs of pokemon cards. I hadn’t played pokemon since I was a 10 years old (I’m 22 now). I can vividly remember opening up a bunch of packs. I assume the job was to make a deck to play with out of a certain number of booster packs, because we started playing soon after with our new cards. The shop is crowded and I just can’t seem to make a full deck. I have to run and ask for 2 more packs that I saw left behind the counter. The clerk gives them to me reluctantly but he seems to understand my frustration. I can remember many of the cards I picked up. A lot are exsisting cards I’ve recently seen and cards that I used to own. I remember getting that feeling of joy when opening a new booster pack. I felt excited and anticipated getting some great new cards to stomp everyone in the tournament with. I play a DC that I apparently knew and he wept the floor with me. Then things transition into a friends house. I see a chess set which is themed the University of Texas VS. A&M University. It also has dice that are themed appropriately. He explains that I can have it if I wanted.

    7. 9/13/2011 - I didn't recall any for the 11th and 12th :(

      by , 09-13-2011 at 03:01 PM (Adventure to Lucidity)
      So all I can remember was my dad trying to get me to go to Illinois with him. There are some more things on the edge of my mind but I can’t pull them out. My dad asks me if I want to go with him, says he will buy me a steak as well. I say sure and we leave almost immediately. We get to the restaurant and it’s closed, so we drive a little ways down the road to somewhere else. Lots of kids and moms are running around this place, and it’s super packed. All I remember.

      So I just remembered my dream in a flash. It’s been about 20 minutes since I woke up. But I remember the main part of it all of a sudden. So apparently I was in some kind of accident, but so was another guy. I can’t remember his name. However, I woke up in his body. To me it seemed like I was still me. When I talked, I thought I sounded like myself, but everyone else knew that it wasn’t my body. I had inherited someone else’s, I can’t remember why or how I came to be in that body, but it involved the hospital and surgery of some kind. My biggest recollection from the dream was hanging out with a couple friends that were just random people I don’t know and meeting the father of the body I now inhabited. It was awkward, but he also understood that I was not really his son. I met his mom as well and oddly she asked me to sing. Apparently, my new body was a great singer. Courtney was also there. Helping me meet and deal with new people. Pretty cool, but the sad thing was that I never really got to know who exactly I was in and what happened to him before I woke up.

      So this one was pretty vivid. Lots of people, and hustle and bustle going on in an airport. I remember it being around the beach and the colors were bright and happy. It started out with some kind of nerdy competition I was involved with. Sadly I can’t recall what it was. We were getting on the plane, and apparently this airport has an interesting feature, the elevator likes to freak you out. Me and another random person I don’t know got on after everyone else and were by ourselves. It went up, then shuddered and flew down like a rocket. Stopped and opened at the basement. I guess we shouldn’t have gotten off, because we got lost and then didn’t make it to our flight. Wasn’t our fault, obviously. Anyway, I remember this place being next to the beach. It was really nice, blue water. People were lounging around the gate playing on laptops and reading, laughing with each other.

      Then it made a transition into a house, some of these competitive nerdy people lived, and I was staying there. I started playing something and I heard water kick on. Dirty, muddy water spat out of drains then I noticed the way the floors were designed. They had squares that sunk into the floors via small steps in each bathroom or kitchen. Any where there was tile. They were filled with water from the drains, but they were crystal clear. I remember feeling the water, how cool it was. I check to see how deep it was and realized I could clean it up. I went to a closet and started getting mops, other people showed up to help with a water vac, and I woke up.
