IM BACK!!!! !!!!!!! Have had so many lucids and wonderful vivid dream this summer but since I was traveling the whole summer & moving I never made time for keeping record. Really, even those excuses arnt good enough though. So sad remembering waking up after a lucid and becoming inspired to write them down again and then letting the distractions of waking life take that away. Those dreams have faded now but my desire to be regularly lucid has grown stronger. How can a once lucid person ever sacrifice their wonderful adventure filled dream life for a waking life that can never live up to those expectations. In reality, I was just being flat unconscious. But now I am here again, new dream journal downloaded and ready to begin. I hope to once attain the same lucidity that I once had 2 years ago when I was at my peak of recall. Anyways, here is my most recent lucids, the only ones I can remember from the summer (unfortunate since I remember being more stoked on the other ones)

I was going out to a night club alone, Allen stayed at home and I really wished him to come along. When I arrived I had a private table waiting for me yet no friends to share it with. This felt strange to me, probably my first hunk that I was in a dream. Suddenly G, Izra, & Stephanie all appeared. They were all out clubbing and decided to join me. I felt at peace now that I was not alone but this only made me miss Allen more since they all are his cousins. We sat at my table relaxing on oversize red velvet couches, sipping what I think I recall to be Tokyo Ice Teas. I realized that I was hungry and suddenly a McDonalds appeared inside the bar. I made no thought to the sudden appearance of the greasy fast food joint, but rather questioned why it would be in a night club at all and relished in the brilliance having fast food so close to people heavily intoxicated. Someone in the group had text Allen apparently and said that he was on his way to pick all of us up. I was so happy. When he did I hopped into the front passenger seat and G sat in the middle back with Stephanie and Izra on either side. As we drove I noticed that cops were doing random sobrity testing and so Allen drove a different way to avoid the traffic. Suddenly as we drove past all the light poles, one by one they began to collapse. How could this be happening I thought? This is where the dream would have turned into a nightmare if it wasnt for the fact that I just then realized that I was dreaming. "Oh my god we're dreaming you guys!!!" I shouted. Allen looked over at me knowingly and nodded his head yes with a fat grin on his face. He said "I know, I know, this is a dream". The weird part about this was that usually I am very aware that Allen is just a dream character due to his behavior in the dream but for this particular lucid I truly believed that it was him. I turned to G to see his reaction. G is notoriously the most lucid person in our group of friends but I could sense that he was unsure about we were actually in a dream. Allen said to him "look, I can prove it, watch the billboards". As we passed a billboard allen concentrated on the picture and then the picture completely changed into something else. Him and I both laughed and then I did the same to the next billboard, turning its boring grey blue advertisement into hot pink with a sexy lady on it. Allen and I cheered and continue to repeat this for several more billboards, taking turns and making our little creations. G seemed to be in a fog, he was semi lucid but there seem to be this sleepy block that wasn't allowing him to be fully with us. We pull over and stop at this building made of boring grey cement. Allen and I are ranting on and on to the others about how wonderful lucid dreaming is and all the endless possibilities. Allen shoots some sort of fire ball out of his hands as I shoot Ice balls out of mine. We are shooting them at the walls of the building as we enter. I notice that Stephanie is having a very long boring conversation with this short haired petite blonde dream character. Normally I would never interrupt someone but I knew it was just a DC and it didnt matter. I push my way inbetween them and look Steph close in the eyes and loudly ask her why she is wasting her time with the DC. She should try and harness a power of some sort, change the wall color, do something to fully experience the dream. She seems slightly unresponsive and confused. I decided not to waste my time any longer on trying to make her more lucid and I go back to G. We are standing at the top of a stair well and I am holding his shoulders, looking him in the eyes and trying to help him become more present. I can tell that he is on the cusp of realization. He then mentions something to me about what I should do if I wake up soon. I tell him in a strong voice to never talk about waking up while I am in a dream, it is a sure fire way to end it. The dream starts to deteriorate, I sense the end is soon. I quickly turn away from him and begin to rub my hands together, focusing on them and the dream stabilizes. I am I stop. I start to walk away from G but then he is suddenly in front of me. With his sleepy dazed eyes and relaxed expression he calmly says "wake up" and I do. Little bastard!! lol

I was going to move the Madison and I had not yet. Allen and I were going to have to stay in the janitors old unit before a place would be ready for us. The place had old dirty carpets, 70's green sinks, horrible 60's fake wood doors, and a long list of other bad things. However, there was this really beautiful and wonderful energy there. The lighting was really good, the fireplace was gorgeous marble, and the living room was 2 stories tall. We went into the master bedroom and found a lot of left behind crappy furniture and shelves filled with action figures in the box and unopened bags of potato chips. Allen and I started to make remarks about how the guy lived there must have been a real weirdo and we snickered as we tossed a lot of the stuff in the trash. Just then I had this realization that the action figures may actually be worth a lot of money. Allen started to put those in a box carefully so that we could go get them appraised. Just then an even bigger realization came,I WAS DREAMING!!! I stopped what I was doing and looked around the room. I instantly knew that Allen was just a DC and not the real Allen so I didnt even bother to discuss the matter with him. I could feel the almost water-y-ness to the air, the same feeling I always experience when I am dreaming. It became so clear to me, how could I not know when I was dreaming, there is such a distinct difference to me. I then did the fingure check just for the hell of it because I always had fun doing it. As I looked down and saw what must have been at least 15 or more fingers there I busted out in a laughter. I walked across the hall to a mirror. I have always had weird experiences looking in mirrors while being lucid but I quickly grew bored and decided to walk outside. Autumn leaves were falling and the trees had shades of reds, yellows, and orange. There was a crispness to the hair. I paused and breath in. A family walked by me and I thought that this would be a good time to fly since it had been a while. I ran and had jumped twice before my third hope let me take off for air. This always is how it happens in lucids, I think it was from playing to much mario 64 as a kid since that same wooshy motion is how I fly as well. I flew pretty low for the ground for a few minutes before I landed again. Then suddenly, I woke.
