lucid

I woke up at about 6am this morning..2 hours earlier than I planned to, so I figured it was too early to have passed an REM cycle. I got up, browsed some sites on the computer for a while, then went back to try a WILD at about 7am.

Green = non-lucid
Red = moment before lucidity
Sky Blue = lucid

First Attempt:

I knew I had nearly done it when I felt a huge tingle all over my body, which at some point just broke. It kind of feels like your body "disconnecting" if you were to describe it. Behind my lids, I was seeing some flashes of pictures in the distance, and I was attempting to focus on them. However, I feel like I got too excited at this new sensation, and the pictures soon went away and simply turned into blackness. I opened my eyes to find myself lying in bed.

Second Attempt:

Not willing to give up, I decided to try one more time. It was a strange mix of non-lucidity and brief lucidity, but I am getting there. I once again felt the telltale sign of that "disconnecting" feeling, and this time let it overtake me without trying to focus too hard. Unfortunately, I believe this thought of completely letting go caused me to lose consciousness and I fell into a non-lucid dream...

I was in some type of either spaceship with narrow corridors. I knew I was in danger, I believe I was also with my girlfriend. There were howling noises in the background like wolves, and we were hiding in this dark room, but still light enough to faintly see each other...we were on a chair and I remember hugging her..but for some reason we didn't care about the danger and well it was starting to become "feely."

At this point that dream fades out, and I open my eyes to find my room...or so I thought.

I "woke up" and lay in bed for a few seconds just looking out my window. But something didn't feel right. Outside the window was another building..with a gated fence in front of it. It was also at ground level, when I live on the top floor of an apartment building. At this moment I realized it was a dream.

It felt incredibly stable at first. I walked to the window and looked outside. The sky was dark, everything was shaded in gray, and I was at ground level, inside a black fenced enclosure that looks like one of those city parks with all cement. I felt scared like there was a sense this would be a nightmare, but realizing that I was dreaming, I braved it and stepped outside my window. I believe this is the moment I got ahead of myself: I walked for a bit, then immediately wanted to test the ability to create things. I looked at a spot on cement lot and imagined Holo(anime) standing there. It worked and it didn't. As I did this, it felt like I was focusing on my body lying in bed to work the imagination, rather than my dream body. I became aware of myself lying in bed and try as I might to get the dream to come back, it was too late.

I am definitely going to try more tomorrow however. Now that I know more or less what sleep paralysis feels like to me, I know what to expect and will be able to take things slower.

Most successful lucid dream to date. (Ah, excuse the language in here and if it sounds childish, I'm kind of embarrassed about this dream, but I did not want to change anything from my original write-up. It was written as SOON as I woke up from it, so everything here is my memories in its original form)

This dream takes place from about 9am - 10am when I shoudl have
been getting up to go to physics, hence it probably caused the
following setting.

I was in my physics lecture for the day, and I was with zreb actually
writing down notes and it felt like I was really there. At some point
I realized that I was dreaming, and thought it funny how I was
continuing to take down notes. I turned to (Online friend) and said that
"Haha, you know I'm dreaming so that means that it doesn't matter
if I take dow notes right now, but maybe I'm telepathic so we'll
see how this turns out."

At this point the dream decided to try and troll me by having the
standard nightmare "Oh dude do you have your paper ready to hand in?"
Now since I was lucid, I was wise to this being a dream and decided
to not give a fuck. The professor came up to me I just got up and said

"YEAH I DON'T HAVE IT WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO DO THIS IS A
DREAM FUCKER"

He just looked at me wide eyed as he continued to take the other
tests. Feeling pretty awesome at how this dream was STILL going on
in perfect clarity, I noticed a girl that somewhat resembled Sailor
Venus near the front. I remembered the trick that you could use in
lucid dreams to change things into other things, so I started to just
kind of push all my thoughts on her being Sailor V, she is Sailor V,
she is Sailor V, over and over again in my head, and lo and behold:

She turned into Venus. At this point knowing full well it was a dream,
I just decided to follow my dick since I had no idea when a dream of
this awesome magnitude would happen again. I went up to her, hugged
her and immediately thought about making out with her. Turns out in
my dream she just broke up with some guy and needed someone else.

this is where the long makeout session with Sailor Venus happened.

But NOPE I wasn't satisfied, I wanted to just go all the way and make
this the best dream ever. There was a girl lying on a couch I guess
to the right of where we were, because my mind was on Sailor Moon,
I thought about if she was her and lo and behold she was the goddamn
Sailor Moon. I think to myself "Hey I bet I can make this a threesome"

I go over to her and lay next to her and she says "Oh..you're not
Darien though..I can't :/" Her innocence came into play here and
I kissed her cheeks a bit, though at this point Venus kind of jumped
on me again and deep frenched me which..I mean I happily fucking
obliged to it, though was worried that SM would see it anddd not join
in. Well she decided that she did but was nervous at first, and this
is where control of my dream started to fade and it gets fuzzy. I think
it's because at this point I actually started getting full of myself
and started spending too much of my "dream thinking power" on thinking
how fucking awesome this is. Both girls were on each arm, but I never
actually made out with Sailor Moon, but you know what who gives a fuck.

Past this point, it somehow got to where I was a player in team fortress
2, aaand, I don't really give a fuck past that point, it ended with me
getting batted to the head by the scout and I woke up thinking that
I was going to be late for work and just "holy shit how long did I sleep
that must have been forever" when really it was just when my actual
physics class started.

welp, so much for being telepathic.
