Not lucid - Lucid

I don't remember the starting dream very well but I know I was at a street of a good friend (which I visit quite a lot) but the street was closed at the end so I had to walk around it, I then noticed that all the other streets where closed at the end too (they had build extra houses at the end).

I thought it was strange so I did the nose pinch RC and I could still breath so it was a dream, but I had wondered during the day if that means that your real breathing is the one in your dreams (which it probably is) so I paid attention to my breathing and I felt my real body (What I experienced as my real body) which made the dream instantly fade.

I did the regular DEILD method next, just laying still I noticed that I still had my dream arms (I could move them very easily), so I started rubbing them together to make the use of my dream bodies senses and before I knew it I could actually see my hands and I got out of my bed.

Which was a false awakening, I luckily thought doing the nose pinch RC again but this time not paying attention to my actual breathing. I noticed the dream was very vague so I paid attention to my left hand and the more I paid attention to it the sharper it got. Until I could spot some birthmarks on the inside of my finger (which I don't actually have) and there was a weird line through my vision like with a old VCR where the tape has been damaged, But the sharpness of my hand amazed me.

As soon as it was sharp/clear enough I continued to walk through my house, I walked downstairs where my family was but I remembered I should summon a sword for my dreamgoal but I didn't care enough and was too fascinated by the vividness of it all, I went back up the stairs again to look for fun things to do... when the dream vaded. My vision was gone but I could still feel the floor onder my feet so I knew I just had to stabilize. I rubbed my hands again and when I could see them I would look at them closily to regain vivedness again. I still had the birthmarks on the inside of my middlefinger so I thought lets continue the dream and do my dream goal.

But before I could start it vaded too fast to do anything about it and I woke up for real this time.


I also remembered myself writing down a Call of Duty like dream that I had, but when I checked my dream journal there was nothing there. So I actually dreamed about writing in my Dream Journal.

The dream started out with the space shuttle launching and other mainly visual things (I just watched it like a movie). Eventually I got to go to space to visit the ISS(International Space Station) with my family, I remember that we were discussing how cool it would be to just relax in space for a week or so, but we knew we couldn't stay any longer than just a few minutes.

When suddenly I realized that this wasn't very realistic because I went from the outsite to the inside of the ISS without any problem breathing, this is when I slowly started to realize it was a dream so I went inside the ISS and confronted my family.

I wanted to tell them its a dream but I couldn't speak, well I could but I was afraid I would be talking in real-life and wake people up, but then I thought I'll just whisper to them. So I whispered that it was a dream and everybody just sat there like I cought them in doing something bad.
The next thing that I finally remembered to do was my dreamgoal of summoning a sword! (I did some kind of mantras before going to sleep insisting on remembering to do my dreamgoals so I gues it worked.) So the ISS was somewhere during the conversation turned into my livingroom so I went up to my room to focus on the task of summoning a sword. But when I got to my room I was dissapointed to see that the lights were out, I tried to put them on but no success, the lightswitch didn't work... But I found a way, I walked away from the door, and expected my eyes to be blinded by the light when I came back, and as I turned around I saw the bright light coming from my room, it worked!
When I got into my room I noticed the dream become very vague, but I remembered how to stabilize the dream! (also from a mantra that I did) So I looked very close to my hand to make the dream more stable and more clear, apparantly there already was a sword in my hand because while I was focussing on my hand I noticed the brand name of the sword on the blade that I was holding. But I somehow didn't pay any attention to this sword, so once the dream was more stable I searched for a cool looking blade in my room, and I found one! but it was a miniature of a sword so I had to enlarge it quite a bit. When I started to visualize the sword to become bigger the dream faded away fast

and I could hear the ceiling fan of my room. I tried to DEILD but I was too far out and waaay to excited so I had to write the dream down.


The picture below is the miniature sword that I found and tried to draw from memory. (It reminds me of a sword from the game 'Monster Hunter')

Dream before:
I don't remember what kind of dream I had before.

Transition:
I realised that I had woken up, I was back in my bed but I had no idea in what kind of position I was laying, I could only feel my hands. At this point I started to think that I could be still in a dream or in sleep paralysis. So I moved my hands some more and I noticed that I could move my hands a little too easy, so I started rubbing them together to make sure that I didn't woke up. This is when I heard the loud airplane take off and a scene slowly started fading in. It was a fighting scene from the movie 300, but I was dissapointed because I couldn't do anything but watch.

My dream after:
That was when I walked away from the scene and realised it was my tv I was looking at. So now I was in my room, things like my desk where placed differently but I didn't too much thought in that at the moment, I walked over to my lightswitch to see if I really couldn't turn it on. and ofcourse it didn't work (I wasn't expecting it to work). After this I walked back to my bed not really sure about what to do next, and I forgot to stabilize my dream so it all faded away and I woke up.
