lucid

- I was standing in the bathroom in my house, and something weird happened, so I did a nose plug RC. It failed and I became lucid. I tried to walk through the wall to get into the hallway, but it didn't work, so I opened the door and walked out. My house looked a bit different. I threw myself at the stairs, trying to fly down for fun, but ended up just falling and slamming into the door at the bottom in slow motion. I stood up and saw my mom and my aunt sitting in the living room, then went in the kitchen and saw my cousin sitting on the floor in a pink outfit, except she was younger, maybe 3 or 4. I...wasn't very lucid yet at this point, and I just sort of kicked her out of the way lol, and she started crying. I went into the living room and guiltily said, "I accidentally hurt her..." and my mom was just like, "oh yeah don't worry, it happens, I do it all the time". I RCed again to be sure, then continued on.

I went into my back yard, but suddenly got self-conscious because for some reason I thought the people I saw outside were there IWL and would see me. I imagined myself going outside when I woke up and asking them if they'd just seen me. A girl in my class who lives near me, LM, was in the yard next door.

The dream suddenly faded and I woke up; I don't know whether I was really awake or not, but I think I was. I moved my arm, then realized that was a bad idea and moved it back. I tried to re-enter the dream, and succeeded after a few seconds. I sat up in bed, did an RC, and stood up. My vision suddenly disappeared, but I forced my eyes open with my hands and it came back. I counted the fingers on one of my hands a few times, and got six each time. Then I went back out into the yard, more lucid this time. I actually managed to walk right through the wall this time, and felt kind of proud when I got through.

Once I was out there, I decided to try some verbal commands. I yelled for the dream to stabilize, and it did make a slight difference. It felt pretty stable. I recalled a post I'd read on DV and yelled, "show me something amazing!" After a few seconds, the colours of the dream started to flicker, then everything was suddenly a rose pink, with a soft round black border at the edges of my vision. I said out loud, "okay, turn it off now, I don't want to see the world through an Instagram filter." xD The colours returned to normal.

I noticed there were a bunch of big, cool birds around the yard. They were probably about 3 or 4 times the size of a pigeon, but with a small pigeon's head and face. Their feathers were really fluffy, some of them were black, and some were blue. I went up to a group of them and said "Oh my god hi, can I touch you?" I reached out towards one of them, but it just made a really pretty cooing noise and shied away from my hand, so I didn't touch it.

I wanted to try and meet someone in my dream, and decided I'd try and go find N. Without even really thinking about how to fly, I started flapping my hands a bit to rise into the air, then started swimming in the air to move. I tried different strokes and stuff to see if I could go faster. It wasn't super fast, but I was okay with it. I started trying to convince myself that N had moved into a house down the street. I flew into the street, but got tangled in the telephone wires, and had to go higher. I reached a house less than a minute away from mine (which really exists) and went inside.

Inside, to the right of the entrance, there was a blueish porch with someone in it. Straight ahead, the rest of the house was very warm looking, with dark reddish wood and yellow-orange walls. Most of the house was risen maybe 1.5 feet above the small area I was standing in, with a tall step to get to it. The main room was pretty empty, and I saw a doorway to what looked like the kitchen in the far right corner. Two very old women came out of it who looked like twins, both dressed in yellow and with long fluffy white hair. I thought to myself that I 'wouldn't be able to find N in here because I knew in my heart it wasn't true', so I left.

Once outside, I rose into the air again and concentrated as hard as I possibly could on the fact that he would be just around the corner a couple blocks down. I started off slowly flying down the street, but sped up as I got to the corner. The thought actually took a lot of energy, but as I rounded the corner, I saw N approaching on a black skateboard. He was wearing a black jacket with red designs on the front and black pants. His eyes widened and he smiled at me, but didn't say anything. I touched down and walked over, then started saying something about how I was pretty sure I was dreaming. I counted the fingers on one hand and there were eight. I gave him a hug, and tried to concentrate on keeping the dream as well, but I felt like my eyes were closing. I could still feel it, but everything faded to black. This lasted for a few seconds.

I 'woke up' into a short FA where I took a notepad and pencil out of my purse and was about to write the dream down, but then woke up for real.


- I also had a short dream earlier, after being awakened by the phone ringing and someone leaving a weird message. I dreamt that I checked the phone to see who it was, and saw a bunch of calls from 'DEBT COLLECTOR' or something similar. I asked my mom about it, and she said, "oh yeah, that's the money I still owe from when I went on a scuba diving trip to make friends with the oysters."

This may have only been semi-lucid, because I went along with the plot of the dream a lot, but it was still nice. I was taking a boat to an island with people I didn't know. I was excited for it. The line to get on the boat was long, but it ended up moving really quickly. Someone said that the boat only came once every 20 hours in real time. I was a bit worried that it would fill up before I got to it, but I ended up getting on fine.

We arrived at the island, and I'm not sure at what point I became lucid. I did a nose plug RC to make sure. At one point I tried walking at a tree and believing really hard that I could walk through it, and it worked. When I was going around doing stuff, my eyes felt a bit sore, like they were kind of dry and tired, but I felt myself slipping away if I closed them for too long.

There was a meeting at a building on the island, where we were going to talk about games we were going to play and stuff. I think there was a game where we all had to turn into animals, because I was thinking about how I would turn into a cat. I got to the building before the meeting started. The inside was all light exposed wood, and there were lots of people there. It was big, too, with really high ceilings. I started talking to this guy, and he wanted to see my deviantART. I pulled out my phone to try to navigate to it and show him, but it was really difficult. The phone wasn't working very well, and I was having a hard time typing my name. I think I managed to show him a bit of it, but ended up giving up. I was only slightly aware I was dreaming at that point.

Then the meeting was going to start, and I was a bit more aware. I wanted to stick around for the meeting, but I didn't want it to be boring, so I decided I would fly around during it. I imagined pink feathered angel wings growing out of my back, and somehow managed to make it happen. I shot into the air and started swinging on lights and decorations and such that were hanging from the ceiling.

That's all I can remember now. The dream felt like it had been really really long when I woke up, but I'm sure it skipped sections to make it feel like that.

I remember being lucid for a very short time. I did a nose RC and realized I was dreaming. I got way too excited for a few seconds, and everything started to spin, but I calmed myself down. I was in a bright white and light blue place and saw a man I didn't know down a hallway. There were two other people in the room with me, not sure who they were. I told them both it was a dream, and started thinking of what I could do, but it faded suddenly and I felt myself in bed. I assumed I was awake, but wasn't conscious enough to remember to RC or try a DEILD.

(I think this is my first dream in here that doesn't even have enough substance for me to tag it :p)

- I was with four people in a little village and it was nighttime. It was sort of like a video game but wasn't. They were teaching me about it. They told me that if I closed my eyes I could get to a different version of the place. I closed my eyes and saw faint outlines of another little village, and when I opened my eyes the people were gone. I was confused, but closed my eyes and tried again. This time I focused on the image behind my eyes, and suddenly found myself inside it. When I closed my eyes there, I saw the original place faintly. In the new place it was daytime. I saw my four friends standing there and they congratulated me on figuring it out. They seemed to be glowing slightly.

This new land was amazing. Everything was very bright, the sun was shining and everything seemed to have a golden glow to it. All the colours were really bright. It looked a bit like some sort of friendly town in a game or a cartoon. It had brightly coloured puffy houses, yellowy cobblestone roads and lots of trees and flowers. The general look of the buildings and colour scheme and stuff reminds me of a picture I drew the other day, to give you an idea. I walked over to my right onto some grass and saw a little black and white cat sitting on the step of a huge lilac mansion. I approached the cat and said "hi!" as I reached down to pet her. To my surprise, she responded, "hi". xD I understood that the animals there were capable of speaking English, but most of them didn't very often. I went back to my left a bit and saw what looked like a really big guinea pig with a pink heart on its chest sitting in the shade of a tree. I approached her too, but she ran away. I did coax her out eventually and pet her a bit too.

All the trees were full of really delicious bright fruit. I walked through the town with my friends just looking at everything and knowing I could come back whenever I wanted. There was sort of a set path through the town and you would exit at the end. When I got to the end, there was a small waterfall in a really lush forest area with a cherry tree nearby. I ate a few cherries then went into the waterfall and went back into the normal world. My friends were waiting for me there. When I told them about the delicious cherries, they laughed and said everyone said that.

I'm sure I was with N at some point as well, because I remember thinking it was odd but nice that we were only apart for 2 weeks. I knew it was a dream in the back of my mind and was a bit sad, but decided to just focus on enjoying it and keeping it stable. I seem to remember feeling a black and white couch but I don't know where. I felt like it was going to be a really long dream. I only thought about this for a little bit though, most of it wasn't lucid. At one point also I waited for something longer than necessary, and then got a bit annoyed because it was a waste of dream time.

After I got out I remember hanging out with my friends (I don't actually know who they were) and there was this other guy talking to one of them. He was asking, "is there a train in the land? is there a choo-choo?" and my friend said there was. Then my friend asked if he had some kind of device, not sure what. The guy hesitated and then said, "my imagination...?" which was what I was just thinking, but then my friend was like "besides that."

I really enjoyed the place in this dream and I hope to revisit it in a lucid dream someday.


- I had another short dream where I was in my house and I saw a small creature dart across the living room floor. My cat went to investigate and so did I. Over by the vent under the window, there were 3 rats trying to hide; one was white and grey, one was light brown, and I think the third was white. They were really cute, and I moved my cat out of the way so she wouldn't hurt them. I was going to try to save them, and I was thinking about how would be best to do it.


- Another tiny fragment where someone like cast a spell on me or something and then was like, "there! now you're a really good singer!" I sang a bit but couldn't hear much difference.


- Also written in my DJ: "also possibly something about a hotel". I don't remember this though.

I had a pretty good lucid, I wish I could remember more of it. So last night/this morning I fell asleep around 3am after being on DV for an hour or two writing and reading DJ entries, woke up around 6am, went and brushed my teeth and put stuff away and went back to sleep shortly after 6. I had this dream and woke up again around 9:30 to write down what I could.


I'm not sure how I became lucid or anything. I don't remember much about the first part of the dream, only stuff towards the end. The environment was almost too realistic. I had to keep doing nose plug RCs to know I was still dreaming, because that was the only one that worked. My hands were normal, clocks didn't change (the alarm clock in my room said 10:42), technology worked fine, and text was readable. I was in my room for most of the parts I can remember, and everything looked completely normal; even the amount of light coming through the curtains and the position of the door were around the same when I woke up. I tried to make magic with my hands for the first time, but it didn't work. I also wanted to jump out of my window and fly around, but I couldn't get through the window for some reason. So basically there wasn't a whole lot to do.

I remember thinking in the dream that it was really long and that it seemed to have been around an hour. I even considered that things could have just jumped forward to make it seem like more time had passed, but I remembered everything that had happened up to that point. (wish I could now lol) I thought once or twice about waking up but quickly got the idea out of my mind.

I remember something about watching a ~10 minute long youtube video on my laptop, and that I skipped back to earlier in the video at one point. I think it was funny, and I think there was an old man with a beard in it, wearing a yellow coat in a snowy place. I was also talking to N on MSN. Everything on the computer was working completely normally. N was also dreaming apparently, and was telling me what was happening. At one point he apparently woke up but was still talking to me. He was like 'man do you know what I was dreaming about?' and I was like 'yeah I wrote it all down as you were telling me!' He then started rereading the conversation, at one point being like 'wait what?' because a lot of it was nonsensical words and gibberish. He mentioned one made-up word that started with M and was 5-6 letters, but I don't remember what it was. He said 'brb' at 1:09, but came back a minute or two later, and the last message in the convo I remember seeing was at 1:11 (PM I think).

Trying to entertain myself in my room, I started dancing at one point for some reason, but got tired very quickly. I was disappointed that I would get that tired in a dream.

It was nearing the end here and I was starting to lose lucidity. I looked out my window and saw a whole bunch of kids milling around in my neighbour's backyard. I was afraid they would be able to see me and ducked down. After that I took my laptop and went downstairs. My mom was there on the chair. I put my laptop down on the couch and went somewhere else for a minute, then came back and saw the laptop was open to a folder full of pictures I didn't recognize and it was downloading them from somewhere. I couldn't remember if I'd left my laptop in there with my mom all of a sudden and got worried that there were bad pictures on there and she saw them, but she didn't say anything.

Suddenly everything started to fade and I realized I was going to wake up. I couldn't feel my body and my vision was just a computer screen showing a pictures folder again, I don't remember what they were. There was a little orange arrow in between two of them that I knew was 'marking my place' somehow. I started to hear voices asking me things like, "Hey, can you hear us? Is this okay?" It was as if I was just waking up from some kind of experiment or surgery.

Then I found myself in my bed, did an RC and was awake. I grabbed my iPod to record what I could, annoyed that I forgot a lot of it.

This wasn't part of the same dream I don't think, but I dunno when it was so I'll put it here. It was just a fragment where there was this weird creepy TV show or something with these two creepy guys, and I was there with someone else while they were filming it, and I think there were a bunch of kids around too. We'd seen the script or something saying they were going to bring out a baby. They came out with this bag, said something and took out this figure probably around 6 inches long. It was apparently the baby and I couldn't really tell if it was a living thing or not, it looked like a Barbie doll except with kind of strange angular body shapes, and it was moving constantly. I was pretty sure it was just a doll though.


All that text and hardly anything actually happened, lol. After this accidental WBTB, I think I'll try doing one on purpose soon, after 3 hours, and see if I have any luck.

Okay so I had a lot of dreams and they were crazy.


- It was N's birthday so I drew him a picture and printed it on a bright blue t-shirt. The picture was weird and had like a hamburger and a dress on it and a bunch of other stuff. I took a picture of the shirt and sent it to him, then I realized I hadn't shown him the picture that was on the shirt yet, so I was like "oh I'll upload that now". He was collecting pictures of people's b-day presents for him and posting them on some forum, there were a lot. Later I was at the mall and thinking I should get a better shirt for the picture, and there was someone else there telling me I should.


- I was talking to N on facebook and he had posted a slightly annoyed status, and I posted a comment and added '<33' at the end even though it didn't fit at all. I was hoping it wouldn't annoy him but I was the 4th comment and all the others had hearts at the end too. When it posted though, facebook changed the <33 to a symbol of a heart with another half-heart attached lol, like this:

- Some evil guy had kidnapped N and me and a bunch of people and was trying to kill us. We were in this huge dark room and there was this big screen at the end that was like a portal we had to get to in order to escape. There were lots of obstacles and dangerous/painful things on the way to the portal.

At one point we were crawling on our hands and knees across chunks of metal on a slight hill, and a girl who was also there said a word I didn't understand. I asked her what it meant and she told me it meant crawling, and was like "it hurts if you do it too long". There were other words like that too, like the other people we were with were using a bunch of slang terms I'd never heard and they'd have to explain.

Then I was able to pause the whole scenario and draw new outfits for N and myself and then we would get them when we went back in. So I drew us these weird kinda futuristic outfits, and then decided we needed flying bikes, so I gave myself a lime green one and him a hot pink one.

Then it went back and we were in the room again with our new outfits and bikes. N was flying way up at the very top of the room which was really tall. I was really close to the portal, so I leapt for it, and right as I was about to touch it, it suddenly went all white, then had white bars across it, then shut off, and a booming voice declared, "PORTAL DISABLED".

The screen was on the side of a rocky cliff, and everyone looked up to the top of the cliff to see this horrible blueish sea creature/demon thing with a human face and head. The evil guy, who we couldn't see, was telling us that this monster was going to send us all through 8 challenges to be able to escape. I looked right into its eyes, and its eyes bulged way out and it shrieked loudly, and I saw this vision of how we all might die. I snapped back and realized it hadn't been real, then told N, who was beside me again, that I'd just had a dream about what was going to happen to us.

I don't know if we did the challenges or not, because the next thing I knew, it was all over and I was talking with N [again?] in a very peaceful nice field next to a pond. It was like watching a movie at this point; I saw both of us from a third person POV, though not very clearly, and I knew everything had finished somewhat happily and it was like a nice ending scene. My hair was in a bun with a weird round clip/tie and he had some sort of nickname for me.

Also sometime after it was over, I told him I had added the bikes at the last minute, and he said something along the lines of "hmm yeah I could tell, you should really stick to a theme" lol.


- Then I had a false awakening and "woke up" on the couch in my cousins' house, where I was actually sleeping. I thought 'wow that dream was really intense, I should ask if he had the same one'. [I did ask later, he didn't remember his dreams.] But then there was this thing where I thought maybe he was actually one of my cousins and that freaked me out lol.

Then my aunt was talking about how she could lucid dream, and I was like "me too!" I started trying to WILD, still in the dream, and managed to get partly into another dream a couple times, but kept getting 'woken up' by my cousins (not sure if I was actually waking up irl but I don't think I was). Finally I made it into a dream within the dream and was lucid in the new one.

I was at a shopping centre in my city near a movie theatre, and my aunt was there as well in her pyjamas, and it was just sort of accepted that we could and were sharing dreams. She ran off, and I walked around the corner, touching walls and stuff and inspecting them and doing RCs.

Then I thought of what I read in the School of Out of Body Travel book, about how it was guaranteed that whenever you stared at something very closely for a long time in a dream, it would start to warp and change. I stared at my finger closely for a while but nothing happened, so I started to wonder if I was really dreaming for a moment, but another nose RC confirmed that I was. Then I saw N was there [again :| get out of my head dude lol] so I gave him a hug.


- I then "woke up" back into the FA at my cousins' house, and they asked about the dream I'd just had, so I told them what happened. My mom then said she was making pancakes [she actually kinda woke me up irl to say we were having waffles lol so it got incorporated] and asked if I wanted strawberry, blueberry or both. There was a plastic cup on the table with a few halved strawberries and three fresh blueberries. I ate a large blueberry and it was really good.
