lucid

I was driving my dad's car in some urban area. First on an expressway, but later, I got into a more boulevard like area. After awhile I got distracted on my phone and lost control of the car.
The car spun off the road and rolled over into a vacant lot. I knew that I had lost control of the car under my own fault, and it wasn't the accident. So when the cops and my parents showed up at the accident scene a few minutes later, I pretended to be dead so I wouldn't go to jail.

My mom had singed me up to go to some preliminary military school that only lasted for five days. And (enter dream logic) the military school was held in my own bedroom.
I had just woken up on the third day. I had been sick and asleep for the first two days of the school, but now that I was awake, I was expected to be ready for the class.
After I woke up, I was scrambling around my own bedroom with the other students from the class in uniform watching me. I was trying to get my uniform on while being yelled at by the drill instructor.

I was in some subway station, I think in New York. I became lucid somehow. But this wasn't very good lucidity, this was crap lucidity, groggy and not very clear. And that goes for the whole dream. I was lucid, but I sort of had drunken lucidity.
The first thing I can remember after that was Lia was there. She started teaching me something to do with flying in lucid dreams by having me jump between these two platforms in the subway station.
It's a little difficult to describe, but these two platforms were on either side of the train track by the end of the station. (Where the train goes from the station to the more narrow tunnel between stations.) Also, the platforms were quite a bit higher above the train tracks than the station platform.
Anyways, Lia had me fly between the two platforms several times. Eventually the flying power failed. Lia said that it had something to do with the gravity of the dream rather than the powers I was using.
After the power failed, we walked up some stairs into the city. The city had buildings that looked like New York, but it didn't have the feel of being near the water. (Another thing about dreams, I can have a feel for the area even if I don't look at it.) Also, the skyline seemed somewhat sparse. There were only a few tall towers, most of the buildings were very low-lying.
We began walking down the road. I began using voice commands to change the weather. But the problem was whenever I gave a voice command to the weather, it would change to something seemingly random.
For example, If i said the weather should change to rain, I would get snow. If I asked for clear skies, the weather would change to cloudy.
I was trying to get there to be clear skies, because I wanted to experiment with moving the positions of the Sun and Moon in the sky. Eventually I gave up.
I went into some diner and sat down. The diner had the feel of one of those retro kind of diners we rarely see these days. But I didn't sit at the bar, but rather one of the tables on the front side (not all diners have these, only the larger ones.)
The diner had a very dank feel to it. It was dark, and only a few lights were on. I sat down, and a moment later, a faceless waitress gave me a glass of chocolate milk. (my favorite childhood beverage, admittedly, still my favorite beverage.)
Well it wasn't a glass, but rather served to me in some strange thermos container. The lid was a very shallow white plastic cup filled to the brim with chocolate milk. The actual cup was a much deeper chrome cylinder, also filled to the brim.
Given my groggy lucidity, I decided to try and drink the chocolate milk. But I was afraid that since both ends were so full, I used telekinesis to carefully lift the cup up to my mouth and take a sip.
I was able to do this with both the silver cup and the plastic lid, in said order. But after the lid, I had attracted the attention of some other dream characters in the bar who were amazed that I was able to lift the cup with my mind.

Normally, I don't think my dreams are worth a read, but this time, I really want people to read this dream. It's exciting and has an interesting lucid plot-line. I developed a new technique (sort of) that kept it going for a long time.

Well I'm wasting time and you guys want to hear about my dream.

Ok, so It all started out pretty lame. I was sitting in math class with S. The teacher came in and began talking about what was on today's test. I began to get a little anxious because It was a Monday, and I didn't have a test.
I started thinking about the situation and realized that it was the middle of July...which can only mean...I'm dreaming!
Ooops. I said that out loud, didn't I? (In my dreams, letting DC's know I'm lucid dreaming is a BAD idea.)
The whole class gets up from their seats and surrounds me in a sort of semicircle. I can remember the teacher specifically. He looked like the man from the AI theft dream. (I really need to give this guy a name.)
My friend K (Oh, hey, haven't seen you in awhile.) comes out of the semicircle. She says something to me, I can't remember what.
Then the class tried to attack me. I tried to fire like a laser beam out of my hands, but it didn't work at all. I fought in hand-to-hand combat with a couple of the faceless students. Then, I just started running down the hallways while touching things (this was that technique I told you about, continuous stabilization.) I recognized the environment perfectly. My high school, and the classroom was my math class from this past spring.
I made it out of the side hallway that my math classroom. (My math class was on a small hallway that detoured off the main one.) From there I was able to go downstairs. As soon as I got downstairs, I thought I would be able to escape through the fire exit. But the principal of my school was standing there smiling. I could see the bar to push the door open was nailed to the top of the door and therefore out of my reach.
I began running down the main hallway, knowing there was an exit at the end. The whole school was filling up with panicking students. I'm not sure why they were panicking, but I think they were all trying to stop me from escaping. I saw some students forming a human wall to stop me from running. I was able to run and jump as I got close to the human wall, and kick one of the people over, then land and keep on running. (Another note, Gravity in my dreams can be a bit more floaty than in real life, that or, because I'm lucid dreaming, I do have some ability beyond that.)
I finally get to the end of the hall and go out the door into the pickup zone outside my school. The area around the school is really dark, under some kind of storm cloud. But in the distance, I can see sunlight coming through the clouds.
I make my way down the pickup zone, and there was such an odd assortment of vehicles. Everything from really junky looking old cars to big hummers and small smart cars. I thought about stealing one to get away, before the weirdo eats-you-alive dream school caught up.
Then I see Lia sitting in the back seat of a black convertible. I get into the drivers seat, but as soon as I do, the steering wheel turns automatically and the gas pedal is depressed. The car pulls out of the parking space.


Kindof like this, except a Convertible, so the top could go down.

A robot voice comes on; the car is self-driving. I can't remember what the robot voice said to me, but I do know it was a male robot voice.
I turn to Lia, who is disguised for some reason. She is wearing this bandanna tied around her nose and mouth. Big sunglasses and a blue baseball cap. Unless you're me lucid dreaming, it would be a pretty tough disguise to see past. I asked her some question. I can't remember what it was, just that she nodded "yes" as an answer.
We put the top up and the auto driving car began to take us away from the school. It was here that the dream setting began to look less like reality. The first place we passed was a large hotel building that looked sort of like the Empire State building, only shorter. When we passed that building, I reminded myself of everything that had happened in this dream up until this point.
Some time passed. I was just sitting in the car patiently waiting for us to get to our destination. Eventually, we got out of the dark, stormy gray area and we were in some town. The sun was out now, and the dream was somewhat more vivid.
The town area was overgrown with trees and vines and covered in grafitti as though nobody had lived there in many years. In the distance, I saw mountains covered in rainforest. They reminded me of El Yunque Puerto Rico, where my parents and I vacation every spring.
While we were driving through the town, I continued to make sure the dream seemed stable by rubbing my hands on the interior of the car.

Spoiler for Images that look like this area:

The area we were driving through had this sort of feel to it, only all the buildings were overgrown with vines and trees and such.



And these kind of mountains were on the horizon.

Anyways we had been driving for awhile, and eventually we began going up some of the mountains. When we did, I was taken into a third person view and watched the car as it rolled into a ball and ascended the mountain. The car climbed the mountain very quickly, but I could feel the dream slipping away.
No. I shouted to myself to remain lucid. When the car reached the peak of the slope, it reformed into its normal shape, and me and Lia were deposited on the summit.
I stood there for a few more seconds until she led me down the opposite slope that we had just come up. There was this muddy gully running down the opposite slope. I started sliding down the gully and woke up a few seconds after.

I have a bunch of apologies to make. For one this dream is very strange. For two, I'm a day late, I had this while on vacation in Michigan earlier and the week and we were so busy bikeriding and kyaking that I never took the time to sit down and type this one out.
I actually classify this as a lucid nightmare. The inability to control it and the idea of being attacked by drowning and tornadoes... it kindof sucks.

I'm in some sort of lava/volcano place. I'm walking along on a wide shelf of rock that is angled slightly to the left. I take note that a thin layer of lava is spreading downward (there is a lava river on either side of the rock shelf.) So I know that unless I hurry, I won't be able to beat the lava and get to the other side of the shelf.
I don't make it in time. I decide to turn back. It's too late, lava has flooded the shelf on both sides. I'm trapped. I run through the lava to get to the other side, where I was originally going. The lava hurts my feet really bad to walk through and feels sort of sticky, but I am able to make it.
Once I get across, I see the shelf ends where there is a river of (already, were getting into some dream logic here) blue lava.
I was beginning to get lucid at this point, and had the feeling that killing myself in the lava wouldn't have any permanent consequence. (Plus, I was surrounded by erupting lava and volcanoes anyway, so either way, I was going to die.)
I jumped into the blue lava. It was very painful, but only lasted for a second. I died and became a "soul" that floated up to a safe spot away from all the lava on a small ridge. Once I was deposited there, I was in a new body and became fully lucid.
Ok, I wasn't fully lucid yet, but I knew I was dreaming. All of these computer graphic hologram menus appeared and contained various options that supposedly would allow me to terraform the planet that I was on.
I changed the settings to create a more temperate, earth like planet instead of a volcanic planet. Once I did that, I was in a forest type area with some kind of play structure for kids. It seemed to be wintertime, because all of the trees were missing their leaves.
I began to stabilize the dream using voice commands to increase the clarity. I began to notice that I could feel my position on the play structure (That I had climbed) and could tell which parts of my body were holding the weight. As I finished stabilizing, I noticed a small crowd of 20-some people were watching me stabilize the dream.
When I looked at these people, I couldn't help but think that they were looking for guidance, like I was their dream king or something. Just an interesting thought that I had while dreaming.
I eventually found Lia, my dream guide. But as soon as I found her, she began changing into an older man. When she had finished transforming, (s)he looked like Jonny Cage from the Mortal Kombat games.
Enh, sense when does ANYthing that happens in my dreams make sense anyway.?
All of the sudden I realized that I couldn't breathe. I remained calm and somehow realized that the entire area was actually about 100 feet underwater. I nearly passed out swimming to the surface, but as soon as I reached the surface, the water drained away. I should also note that the water was very clear. I'm not entirely sure how the area got flooded like so.
I think for a few moments somewhere in there I caught a glimpse of my dream "Nemesis" a boy named Jonathan. I think he was the one flooding the area in an attempt to kill me.
The next thing I knew, me and Lia were loaded onto this small iron gondola. There was a very large strong figure bearing armor that looked like the power armor from Fallout. The figure somewhat forcefully put us in, and slams the door.
Ok, no more video game references in this dream, I promise.
The cable car moves very fast, and the cable seems free form, as though it's solid and not tethered to anything. In that sense, it was less of a cable car and more of a... sky train? But no, it was a gondola, not a train.
The gondola follows the rail/wire high above the area we were just in. I can see the play structure was just a small part of a large island. Most of the island was actually made up of abandoned factories and bordered on all sides by docks and huge shipping cranes. The play structure where I had attained my lucidity was in the middle in a small grove of forest.
Around the island there are other areas of land. The island actually divided a river, and there was more snowy terrain dotted with factories and apartment buildings all around us. The river was not frozen.
My attention turns back to inside the gondola. Lia is sitting opposite to me, changing back to the way she usually looks.
Now comes the weird dream guide dialogue. I can't remember why I asked this, but I asked if Jonathan (my dream "Nemesis") was able to leave my dreams and go into other people's dreams.
Lia told me that he could in fact leave my dreams.
I proceeded to ask her some other question about my "second REAL lucid dream" and Jonathan. (My second real lucid dream didn't involve either Lia or Jonathan, it was just dream control practice.)
The gondola was now really low over a road. The road cut through the same sort of snowy forest that we had been in earlier. But the reason I had looked up was that there was a massive tornado just off the left side of the gondola.
I looked ahead, and saw a whole plethora of tornadoes, that seemed to be lining up with the intent of destroying the cable car we were riding in.
The cable car seemed really strong though. We passed straight through the tornadoes and the car barely rocked. Lia told me that the car was very strong, and despite its rusty, distressed appearance, she was no liar.
Then things got really strange. The tornadoes turned sideways and began flailing around like wips. I started the process of waking myself up.
"He's bringing the whole dream down on us!"
The gondola was torn off the rail and flung onto the road below. The car broke open. The last thing I remember was the both of us getting picked up in the tornado before I woke up.

My dream recall has been pretty bad lately, but when I woke up this morning, I remembered part of a lucid dream that I had just had.

I can remember that I was directing a TV show. The show took place sometime in 2030 after a nuclear apocalypse. Because of the radiation there were a strange new form of humans that were fused with plants.
I was filming this one scene where a bully (who was one of the plant fusion people) beat up a little girl who was normal and had just moved into the settlement. They bully had six arms and each of his arms was made out of a small tree trunk.
I began walking along. There was a small tent for those of us who were directing the show with some equipment for filming. There was only one other person who was not a character on the show, because the show's ratings were bad and we had to cut funding.
The only other person was a young black man. When I came along he took out a small knife and began talking about it. I could sense he was going to throw it at me. I can barely remember something else about the knife, I, (Not remembering now) somehow had a hand in it's creation.
He throws the knife, but I am able to bend swiftly to one side completely avoiding the knife. (No kidding, this put the matrix bullet time to shame.) This all happened in probably less than a tenth of a second dream-time. I remember the most was when the knife flew past my head. Even though it was not in my feild of vision, I could sense that it was face down, only inches from my shoulder. Time seemed to stop for that moment.
Time sped up, and the knife hit the center a red and white target behind me.
Something about the situation tipped me off that I was dreaming. I was lucid, but I didn't say anything right away. I stopped and thought about things for a minute. I thought about summoning my dream guide for some training.
No, for some reason I choose to do something that normally just gets me woken up. I'm going to tell this dream character that I am dreaming.
I look toward the other guy who threw the knife at me.
"Hey... I'm dreaming."
The man stops and turns his head. He is wide eyed and looks a bit angry but also very surprised. He then looks at me right in the eye. He has brown eyes.
"Listen to me. There is a storm coming. A clash between good and evil. Be ready."
And while he's saying this there are literal storm clouds on the horizon. Then something causes me to false awaken. I'm at this gas station that I'm familiar with, just outside my own town. I'm no longer lucid and the dream is very unstable once more.
But this is just temporary. The dream provides exposition. It says that there are these suits hidden around the world. There are 20 in total. Ten of them look like this (shows me a white suit, looks sort of like a superman costume, only white and gold. The other ten look like this (shows me a black and purple suit.)
There are ten people who will compete on each team as part of a global conflict. Now people like celebrities and military leaders may claim to be the people that wear these suits, but no. All of the people who will wear them are normal everyday people in the real world.

Erm... ok. Let me just say I'm not interested in your global dream war. I just want to learn how to fly, ok...

It all started out with me riding a motorbike of some kind. I seemed to be nearby my own subdivision, though. But the off thing was that many of the houses seemed under construction. Perhaps in the dreamworld, our neighborhood was being expanded or rebuilt.
Anyways, I can't remember the exact details of what I did. I just rode this bike around experimenting with the handling characteristics of the motorbike. Eventually, I came across this large warehouse building. I rode through it, noticing that the building looked rather decayed.
I parked in the back of the warehouse, where there were a couple small trailers parked in the corner. I got off the bike and began exploring one of the trailers. It was around this time that I got lucid.
The dream was very blurry (I haven't done this in awhile and forgot to stabilize.) And the trailer sort of morphed into what looked like a grandmother's house. (Not my grandmother's house in particular, just in general with the furniture and decoration.)
Two dream characters were present. One was a young Asian boy who seemed really upset. I asked him why he was so distraught, and he said that he wanted to look like his favorite person from Youtube. I explained to him that this was a dream, and that he was in control and had the ability to do whatever he wanted. The boy changed into a much older version of himself that looked pretty much the same.

Then there was this alien character, who looked sort of like ET, only taller. The alien character turned out to have the voice of my mother. In her voice, the alien complained that it was hideous and would do anything to change back to normal. Again, I explained that this was a dream and that anything was possible. The alien character changed into my mother.

I'm not entirely sure of my motivation for telling these dream characters that they were dreaming. Perhaps just my unstable lucidity led me to believe that I was actually having a shared dream. Whatever the reason, unstable lucidity is just the best!
Well my unstable lucidity left me, and came the most interesting part of the dream. A pair of chickens came into the room. And (enter dream logic) I was terrified of them, for some odd reason.
I had an overwhelming feeling that the chickens were aggressive, fearsome, and wanted to kill me. I tried to tell myself that they were just chickens. (Keep in mind, If I were still lucid, I could handle this.)
The smaller of the two chickens jumped at my trying to peck me. I grabbed it by the neck. It struggled fiercely, but I had it contained.
The other chicken suddenly began to inflate. It's eyes began to distend and it's head puffed up. (In a freaky way, not a funny way.) And the chicken began to swell and shake as though pressure was building up. I was getting more and more terrified. I think the chicken exploded from too much pressure and I woke up.

I can't remember exactly what the situation was. I can remember I was staying in some kind of pier or industrial park area. I can remember there being shipping crates that had been converted into houses, and in that sense it was kind of like a slum. I think that there were some people drinking and doing drugs.
It was nighttime. I was sitting around a campfire with some other dream characters, and I fell asleep, Inside the dream.
Only moments only after I fell asleep, I re-awoke into the same dream. It was daytime now, and I could make out more of the area that I was in. There were some warehouses and cargo ships docked nearby.
Then I can recall coming across some dream character. He seemed alot like Bane from Dark Knight Rises. (In fact, he was exactly like Bane from Dark Knight Rises.)
He wanted me to make a decision in his evil plot, and he told me that he was going to have me do it. He led me to the other side of one of the warehouses, where he had wired up three yellow buttons.
For some reason, I wasn't really scared of this character, despite him being a villain. He said that each of the buttons was linked to a bomb, and if I didn't press one of the buttons, he would kill me.
One of the buttons was labeled a remote place. I wanted to press it, but I realized that the button was fake, and it was just painted onto the side of the warehouse.
For some odd reason, the button painted onto the warehouse triggered lucidity. The Bane character disappeared.
I walked around for a minute and focused on stabilization. I eventually came across this fenced off road, and there was a bleacher set up, as though the road had been converted into a raceway.
I found my parents sitting in the bleacher. I can't exactly remember what sort of interaction I had with them. I wanted to try and find my dream guide and get in some lessons. I think I found her just before I awoke.

I was in my math class, supposedly before school began. I was talking with S and A. Then I realized that I was late to my own class and had to leave for whatever reason.
As I made my way down the hall, I did the nose pinch reality check, because I know that being late for class/school is extremely common in dreams. I was very alert when I did the reality check.
As soon as I'm lucid, I say something like "Oh, I'm dreaming!"
"Oh, no you dont!" Said a man's voice, grabbing me.
At that moment, (as funny or violent as this sounds) my school's principal started to attack me. I didn't want to fight him, so I yelled and made a sonic blast that pushed him away without really hurting him.
Three other people came up behind me. I thought they were teachers or something from my school, although they certainly didn't look like any teachers that I recognized. I was still lucid, but for some reason, I didn't use another sonic wave, or cast any magic.
I simply started fighting them in hand-to-hand combat, one at a time. I couldn't really kick, my legs felt very heavy, but my punches (given I was lucid) were devastating and sent my opponents flying into walls.
After awhile, It became clear that my efforts were fruitless. One of the people grabbed me from behind and I wasn't able to move. I woke up after that.

My god, I just beat up a bunch of old people. Part of me is really corrupt.

I was walking down the stairs at my school, in a very blurry dream with S. I was talking with him, and he asked me about what had happened that morning.
I tried to think back, but I could only remember the class we had just come from. Then I started to think and realized that "today" was supposed to be a Sunday.Bam! I'm lucid.
S was gone, and although the dream not vivid, my consciousness was really good.
I started to stabilize. I continually yelled out "Clarity", and commanded the dream to get more clear. Things got a little more clear, but the entire dream scene was still very blurry.
I finally got to the bottom of the stairs. I noticed that the Cafeteria had been replaced by a swimming pool.
I had just finished stabilizing and was ready to practice some dream control or look for my guide or something, but I woke up instead.

I've been on vacation in Chicago for the past few days and we've been really busy seeing the sights and I haven't had time to post to my dream journal. I've completely lost sight of when I had these dreams, but I made a list of them so that I would be able to remember them later.

Owning a subcopter

This dream supposedly took place in the future of my own life. (Sometime around 2030.) I had been given a vehicle called a sub-copter. The idea was that it could be a car, helicopter, and submersible all at once. I can remember it was a sort of tadpole shaped vehicle with two jet turbines on the side.
Supposedly mine was not only one of the older models but it was a cheap model.
I was learning to fly the copter with someone else in the cockpit. We were flying very low across the surface of the ocean during a thunderstorm. It was dark and difficult to see but the ship had on-board HUD systems that made flying even in these conditions easy.

I was back at the hangar (same dream though). The hangar was a very large building made out of corrugated aluminum built by the side of the ocean.
I was working on re painting the copter. There entire thing was blue, but it was covered in decals from head to tail. The man that was teaching me told me that this had once belonged to my uncle who when he had passed away gave it to me.
The man I was working with said that repainting it would be enough for one day, but later, we were going to work on the engines.
We walked outside the hangar into a parking lot. A few more hangar buildings were visible, but it was overcast and very foggy outside. Me and the man who was teaching me about the vehicle.

There used to be a picture of what it looked like here but DV doesn't know how to store images long enough.

I've decided to change my color for lucid dreams to This. The bright green is way difficult to read.

I was flying low and very fast. Lucidity was very vague and the dream was very unstable. At first, I thought that the dream seemed very unstable and that I was going to wake up soon, so no point, just keep flying.
I continued flying. I think at first, I was going over an ocean, but later, I was flying over a desert area with mesas and plateaus. Then, the desert got more lush until it became a jungle. I had been flying for about two minutes now, and I decided to land.
I landed in a lake in the jungle. Just beyond me were some mountains. The dream started to get a bit more vivid at this point, and my lucidity was still very poor. I wanted walk around and get out of the jungle, or perhaps do something.
Very unusual barrier walls formed around me. I couldn't quite make out what they were made out of because the dream was so unstable. They were green and brown however.
Eventually, I got a little more lucid and in control and was able to dispel the barrier walls and continue flying. I flew up to the mountain and got even more lucid. At this point I realized that despite the instability, I wasn't going to wake up from this dream anytime soon.
I snapped into lucid dream mode and stabilized. I remembered I wanted to build my dream base and began to fly down on top of the mountain. I cleared away the trees and made a clearing.
But the dream was still rather unstable, despite my efforts. I only had to look away from the clearing for a second to look back and see that an entire town had developed where I had planned to build. The town was made entirely out of log cabins. The one in the middle was several stories tall.
A man with a rich blonde colored hair looked out of the window and yelled for someone to call the police because I was coming.
I was still descending into the log cabin town very slowly. Several police cars encircled me. They were odd, futuristic looking cars with curvy bodies and large wheels.
Policemen got out and began throwing tomahawks at me. I tried to stop them with an explosive spell. I began saying that my hands could shoot bolts of energy, and the dream control perpetually failed. Then I remembered that you can change up the wording of dream control, and oftentimes, it will work.
I simply began to shout the word "destroy" and I could cause a small explosion wherever I pointed. I began to destroy the police cars and the policemen who were still attacking me.
I lost lucidity and forgot what happened after that.

Gentlemen's Class

My school had some kind of program for boys who didn't have dates for the prom. It was supposed to teach you how to act when you have a girlfriend and how to treat her. The class was taking place outside of an auto parts store in my town.
The teacher (who was actually my current math teacher) told us that we all had to take off our jackets and lay them down so that our girlfriend could walk over them.
(Real life notes. I've never been interested in getting a girlfriend. Really. Never. I had a crush on this one girl but the girl I liked moved away a few months ago and that was the end of it. I never had the guts to ask her out.)
Anyways. I started talking with this younger boy with black curly hair. We talked about how this class was kind of pointless because most of the people here weren't even interested in getting into a romantic relationship.

My friend's dad died.

I was in my own neighborhood, talking with someone. We were walking down the center street of the subdivision while talking. I can't really remember what we were talking about.
When we got to the end of the block, we found that one house had this huge party going there. When I came closer, I was explained that the party was actually a funeral for my friend's father.
Now I can't remember the specifics of any of the dream characters here. The dream was very blurry. I can't remember who I was talking to on my way down the block, or which of my friends' fathers had died.
I shied away from the party and started walking back down the path toward my house. Another faceless dream character came by my side. The three of us started talking about life and things.

WILD experience.

It was about 3:00 am when I did this. I can't remember the details of being in SP, or if I even was in SP. I just remember that I started thinking about school, and slowly a dream about school formed around me.
I was walking down the hallways. I did a nose plug reality check, but I did it without really paying attention, and didn't become lucid.
Dream characters to the rescue! Someone behind me reminded me to pay attention when I did my reality check. I did the nose plug again. I noticed this time that I could breathe.
I continued down the hallway, but the dream was very blurry, and my lucidity was not very clear. Just like in the last dream, everyone was a faceless dream character. I can't even remember the specifics of the stabilization techniques that I employed.
I slipped out of lucidity nonetheless and went to class.

I woke up after the WILD experience about half an hour later in real time. I tried to WILD again while maintaining lucidity. It was unsuccessful.

I was with my mom and dad, and we were alone in some woodland area. It was bright and sunny, and the forest looked healthy. The dream was actually quite vivid. Somebody had explained to me that this was like Minecraft but in real life, and that our goal was to build shelter and find food and stuff.
I found a purple clump of grass. When I picked it up, I was explained that it was a food source plant, but it would only grow when planted next to the water. Me and my mother agreed to go find a river or lake to plant the food plant.
Up until this point, we had been standing on a path that ran around a small mountain. The path was about halfway up the mountain, but it was difficult to judge because of all the trees and such.
We began making our way down through the trees the slope was quite steep, perhaps 30 or 40 degrees. We had only walked for about a minute when the forest opened up to a huge sandy slope that ran down the face of the mountain.
I was being careful not to fall and tumble, but also trying not to move too slowly down the sandy slope. I could see a good sized river at the bottom of the mountain.
I decided to innovate. I broke a huge piece of bark from a dead tree stump and began "snowboarding" down the sandy slope. This was much faster than walking, and I reached the bottom very quickly.
I reached the bottom, and got off the piece of tree bark. I was ready to plant the purple grass. But I did a nose pinch and realized it was a dream. I moved my hands to stabilize, but noticed that I could feel blankets whenever I moved.
I tried very hard not to wake up, but ultimately, I did wake up.

I was in my science class at high school. My teacher was talking about some dream that he had, and told us about how his dreams were never as clear and realistic as real life.
I raised my hand, and I was going to argue with him, and tell him that when I lucid dream, that sometimes, I can increase the clarity of the dream to the point that it is close to real life, and I know that other people have dreams where the clarity they have in the dream is actually greater than that of real life.

I was with S. Everything was black and white like an old movie. We were in some kind of warehouse, where there were alot of large square wooden crates. We were talking about dreams, and I quite quickly came to the realization that I was dreaming.
I did a Nose pinch RC to confirm that I was in fact dreaming. I actually did two. (I have grown accustomed to doing two Nose Pinch RCs in real life whenever I check if I'm dreaming. It never hurts to double check.)
I may have lost lucidity rather quickly though. Because me and S decided to participate in some kind of competition. That or, this segment of the dream took place before we were in the warehouse and I became lucid.
When we came outside, we seemed to be in some kind of industrial/shipping port area. There were two long identical docks. They were similar down to the arrangements of the boxes on them. This competition was between me and S, and we were seeing who could jump/climb over the boxes on our separate docks and get to the end first.
The rules of the competition were completely explained to me. I'm not entirely sure how. They just sort of came into my head.
I had a false awakening.
I was in a hospital room. It was quite large, and the walls were painted a tawny brown color. There was a young nurse, and a doctor, who looked a little like my dad. There was a couch on the far side of the room, and a large potted palm tree.
The nurse explained that I had been knocked out in an accident several months ago, and while I was out they had conducted three surgeries on me. One had removed my hip bone. The second had realigned my teeth, and the third was a brain surgery. The nurse proceeded to tell me that because of the brain surgery, I might have some memory loss.
I realized that I couldn't feel my legs. I tried to move them, but instead I would just thrust in my lower stomach and move my hips up a little. And this was the worst pain I've ever felt in a dream. Not only did my hips hurt, but my legs were completely immobile. I tried to move my legs a couple different times, but each time, I was met with this pain.
The doctor handed me some before and after X rays, trying to explain to me that my hip bone had been removed, and anything below my waistline was no good anymore.
This isn't right... I'm still dreaming!
Almost immediately, I stand up on the hospital bed, and push my hands out to either side, causing the entire floor of the hospital to explode. As soon as I did that, the dream lost all clarity, then the clarity returned, but the dream had changed.
I was still on the destroyed hospital. But everything was overgrown and rusted, as though many years had passed. The damage to the hospital was still there.
I began to regain lucidity. One of the steel beams that the hospital was constructed out of had been bent out overhanging the outside wall of the building when I destroyed the top of it. It was bent in a narrow V shape with both ends still connected to the structure. But the inside of the bent beam was filled with dirt and grasses and wildflowers had grown on it. The beam had rusted into a bright red color.
I stood out on the very point. I did a nose pinch RC once more, I was ready to jump off into the area around me. The area was completely overgrown, and many of the buildings in the nearby city were partially destroyed and overgrown with plants.
A dream character approached me and distracted me. He looked sort of like me, but younger and with shorter hair. His nose looked unusual with one large nostril.
He began blowing air out of his nose, causing the nostril to expand. After each breath, his nostril would shrink, but not back to its original size. With each breath, the nostril got bigger until it took up most of his face. It may sound almost humorous, but in the way the dream portrayed it, it was actually quite disgusting. I lost lucidity and woke up.

I was being told some story about an alien invasion, while being relayed all of this imagery of the planet earth. I think I remember being told that the year was 2500.
Then he said we were going to "take a closer look". We fell in and were now looking at a city. I can recall that everything mostly looked the same as a city that would be built today. But we flew over a small mountain range and saw a much larger city.
Even though the city was from the future, most of the buildings looked like more modern buildings built today. There were no domes or really incredible futuristic buildings like some people would imagine. After a few minutes, I slowly began to notice that there were some futuristic buildings among the skyline.
We flew down over next to one of them. Despite being futuristic looking, it was much smaller than the buildings next to it.
There was a billboard on the side. It read "The Rebel Building Series: Providing clean energy for the city!" There were images of all the different types of futuristic style buildings on the billboard. There were only a couple different "Models" if these buildings, five or six I believe.
After that, we flew over an industrial district, and then I noticed two pieces of recognizable architecture. The Willis tower and the Dubai tower were right next to one another.
I landed. I was in my own body now.I immediately did a nose-pinch reality check and realized that I was dreaming.
When I was not paying attention, the dream scene changed to a sort of nightclub restaurant, except there was no neon lights or anything, it was very dark. The Dubai tower and the Willis tower had shrank down to about ten feet tall, and were just large models on display in the middle of the restaurant.
I decided I wanted to do some flying.
"Flight on!" I commanded.
Nothing.
"Flight on!" I tried again, saying the command a little louder. Nothing.
I held up one hand.
"Booster flames?"
A little poof of smoke came out of my hand. It's common for this form of dream control to fail.
Some other dream characters came in and were standing around me. A male DC came down, he was flying. He told me that this would be a simple challenge between dreamers; a race. And only the winner was allowed to keep their dream control powers.
The race would go around both of the model skyscrapers, so the entire course was very short. The male DC, who seemed to have some kind of dream control at his disposal, and he used it to put a fence down to guide the race.
He told us to start, and I took off running. A huge group of people ran ahead of me, but they leaped over the fence about halfway through the race, I think they had gone to meet with family. I thought I would win, but when I turned back around and looked toward the finish line, I saw three dream characters that were nearly at the finish line.
I still knew I was dreaming, but my dream control seemed weakened somehow. I decided to use a cheat anyway.
"Super Speed!" I yelled.
Instead of me speeding up, everyone around me slowed down, and was moving at about 1/4 speed. I ran past all of the other dream characters and finished first.
After the race, everyone seemed to have left except me, and two other DCs. One was a male by the looks of it, he was in a dark corner and the other was my dream guide, a girl named Lia.
For those of you who don't regularly read my DJ, I encounter my dream guide A LOT. I've had a long list of questions for her, and I tried to remember some of them.
The environment began to change, and I was shuddering. I was having difficulty focusing on what I wanted to say.
"Do you remember my first lucid dream, or atleast the first lucid dream in my Dream Journal, where I was at the school, and you rescued me and told me I was dreaming? Why can you not always do that?"
The dream was becoming very unstable. We were now in some neighborhood, outdoors in the daytime, the background was blurry and I could tell the dream was losing stability. I tried to rub my hands together and save the dream. It wasn't enough. I woke up before I could get an answer.

On a side note, I want to start my dream artwork page soon. I just need to get a good look at myself for a new cover photo.

I was in an errie, semi lucid (but we'll just say I wasn't really lucid here.) state and the dream was very unstable. I was following some map to the construction site for my dream base. What I can remember about the map was it was leading me to where I had already built my base, but I never remembered doing it.
I was getting close to the site for my dream base. The entire area was near the ocean, and the path that we followed took us along the beach sometimes. Further away from the water, there was some hilly terrain, dotted with houses and trees, but mostly just covered in grass.
I cut through a shopping center, and got a little confused with my map, but figured it out. As I walked out the door into the open area that was supposedly the site for my base, I did a nose plug RC, and shouted "I'm dreaming." My lucidity got a lot clearer at this point.
I noticed my voice was very scratchy and weak. I yelled again. "Clarity now!" A weak wave of clarity spread through the area.
I didn't like the way my voice sounded, so I commanded "Voice: Change" I tried to speak agian, and my voice was very high pitched and fast. "Voice: Normal" I spoke some more out loud and my voice sounded pretty much the same as it does in real life.
I had followed the map to my location, a small grassy knoll in the middle of a parking lot. It didn't bother me, I knew that I could always move my base later.
Next I had to remember what I wanted to create. I had done some sketches (IRL) and had a good idea of what I wanted. A one story circular concrete building with one glass door. It theory it was very small.
I gestured up, with that image in my mind. The base looked how I had imagined it, only there were about 8 stories. I could see through the window that each story had a different functionality. (Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc.) No! That's way too hard to remember! This needs to be as simple as possible. I decided to try again.
I gestured to pick the tower up, then proceeded to throw the entire thing into the ocean with my psychic powers. (I probably should have just cut off all the upper stories)
At some point, a dream character came along, and asked me what I was doing. I explained that I was making a dream base, because the idea was it would tell my subconscious that I want to return to my lucid dreams, and therefore I will have more of them.
I realized that my work area was actually very small. Probably about 20 feet by 80 feet. I pushed the parking lots farther apart, and wound up with a larger, sort of triangle shaped piece of land.
The land seemed hilly. I completely lost sight of my goal at this point. I gestured up, and created an unnaturally steep hill. "Level Terrain" I commanded. I did a gesture with my palms down and my hands flat. The central area of the land, including the hill I had just made sank back into the ground, and the ground was mostly level.
I commanded to level again, hoping it would completely level the land, but it only leveled the center. Good enough. I remembered that I was working on my dream base. "Now create a concrete circle!"
I woke up.

I was walking to school, with S. We were taking a very long time; we knew that we were going to be one hour late for school, but for some reason we didn't care and just continued talking to one another about a whole range of topics. I can't say I remember what, but they were very deep and personal subjects, I remember that.
We began walking towards the school. My school was, for some reason a huge cylindrical building. Kind of modern, with a shallow, domed roof. The school was built in a small valley surrounded on either side by small mountains covered in tropical forests. There were some other buildings and roads scattered about, but for the most part, the area was pretty rural.
I should also note that the sky was bright orange, and I think there were binary suns.
We got to the school, and I lost track of S, but almost immediately ran into C. She told me that she needed a ride to her tech school class, and wanted to know if I would be willing to call my parents to have them come pick her up.

My recall cuts out, but the next thing I knew, I knew this was a dream. I was still in the valley, and I could still see the school. But I was at a much different angle, and could see an ocean now. My mother was there, and we were on top of one of the mountains. There was a table set up with this huge feast laid out.
We talked for a minute or two, and I avoided eating any of the food or stabilizing the dream. (Not stabilizing was my mistake. Ooops.)
I decided to try and find my dream guide; Lia. I know she can appear as any female DC. So I ask my mom if she is posing as my dream guide. She says no.
I get up and begin walking around. There is a large paved plaza behind us, with gaps in the pavement where palm trees are growing. And as soon as I begin my search, dream characters begin FLOODING the area.
I see someone who looks like my dream guide, but as I come closer, I realize that he is in fact a young man. Nope. I look for another dream character. I see another potential, but as they get closer, he too appears to be a young man.
He walks past me, and I get a new idea. I think that maybe if I want to get my dream guide to appear, I can change one of these characters into my dream guide. I hold up my hand and he begins to change. He becomes a girl that looks sort of like my guide, about her age and height, but with more pale skin and lighter colored hair.
The next thing I notice is her eyes. She has bright green eyes. She turns toward me and opens her mouth really big.
I lose lucidity as I am taken out of my body. This alien parasite comes out of the girl's mouth and attacks me.
The feel changes to being like a nature show, and a man's voice is explaining to me how the parasite works. He says that it has three appendages that is uses to spray acid on the victim. It then eats the victim.
I woke up around here.
