(Induction type: DILD, Spontainous lucidity)



I'm stood out the open, in the daytime.
I've got a little open camp fire and some sort of animal hide wig-wam type shelter.
My camp is on top of a moorland embankment, the view to the front is to a valley below, while the view to behind is pine woodland.

It occurs to me that all this is 'wrong'.... I must be dreaming... A look at my BIG hands and fingers confirms this... Bam!!! (LUCID)

So, I'm out in the open... with clear daytime sky above me and in front over the valley below... Smell of pine from the trees behind etc...
... I'd allways wanted to try changing day to night or vice versa in a dream...
I tried a few things first that didn't work... Like...

• Verbal commands
• Trying to reach up and pull the sun out of the sky
• Covering my eyes, willing the sky to change and uncovering them again

Time to think latterally... I'm trying to turn day into night... I'll be winding time on a few hours doing that... Dreams are full of symbology... Hows about adjusting my watch, to 'wind on' time to turn day to night..
... For good measure the verbal command 'day to night' as well.

I put a finger through the glass faceplate of my watch, as if it wasnt there!!
I manually start winding the hands forward... Giving the verbal command as well...

The sun quickly sets to the horizon, at the valley, the sky grows dark, and the moon and stars rise
.. The night sky was never like I've seen it before, so 'intense' and beautiful.... I could even see the faint lines highlighting the constelations shapes...

I stare a the night sky, with the brilliant pin-point stars and constelations, wondering the marvels of the universe... I'm pointing out at the sky with an outstreched arm & finger to the constelations I recognise, saying there names. Where my fingers been, left a new star!! I try getting rid of a star, by 'rubbing it out' with my finger... that works!!!

Time to get creative on the night sky!! The Stick-man and smiley-face constelations had to be done!!!

I was happy drawing for a while, and then my dream world just got 'washed out' and faded to black...
... But I don't think I woke up in waking life...

(FULLY NON LUCID)


I'm a centaur, with brown hair... I'm in a forrest, with other centaurs.

Around my neck, I have an amulet/necklace... Which is sitting on my bare chest.
... The 'necklace' bit that goes around myneck is a thin leather strip, just like the leather shoe-laces you can get
... The amulet on the end of the strap is a long and thin green emerald, with tapered ends.
The emerald is set in silver mounts, that are two snakes, one forming a clockwise and the other an anticlockwise helix around the stone. The two heads of the snakes touch at the top, to form the loop where the leather strap goes through.

.... Anyway, the forrest... Its sunny, so I can see shafts of sunlight coming through little clearings in the trees.
Something startles us!! We all gallop through the forrest. After a while, the trees start to thin out, and we exit the forrest, and come out into open grass land, we slow down to a trot as we're out in the open.

The grass is tall (about 2-3 foot deep), and is a carpet of green as far as the eye can see.. The grass sways gently in the breeze.

This 'crazy' dream was about a week ago..
In waking life, I dont have a games console... Not had one for years since the ORIGINAL chunky Sony PlayStation (One)



(Spontanious lucidity.... Isnt that a DILD? .... early morning ~4.30AM ish)



Im in a big city, with high rise glass sky scrappers, smaller & older 5,6 or 7 floors low rise etc... like New York
In the bottom right of my vision (which is exclusively 1st person), I have a little square map,
in which there is a black dot in the middle which is me... The map scrolls when I move, keeping me centred.

There are green dots on the map, which are other people in the city scene, which isn't very densely 'populated' ...
I'll only see at most 5 or 6 other people in the street i'm in. The people are 'tracked' on the map when they move

A police car passes, on the map its an alternately flashing white and blue dot... Normal cars are just white dots!!

Anyway, I wander around the city a short while, getting used to my surroundings, and it occurs to me that its like 'Grand Theft Auto' with the map.... Thats NOT Normal!!!.... The bizarreness of that cements my knowledge' I'm dreaming!!' (Lucid!)

Incidently, other significant features of the city that occur during my rampage in the dream are, that some of the wider boulevard streets I go through, have 'vintage eastern European type' trams running along there central reservation, they are yellow at the bottom, and white at the top (Just like Budapest trams!!) .... There is a galvanised steel public art sculpture that looks like the M C Escher impossible triangle.

Knowing I'm dreaming... and I'm 'playing out' a Grand Theft Auto type game on foot in my dream...
... but its all an illusion, so I'm free to do whatever I want...

I ... go on a one man (petty) crime wave on foot, snatching handbags, pushing over old men with walking sticks, stealing pairs of jeans & trainers on racks displayed outside bizaar type shops store fronts.... Vandalising phone boxes etc...

Halfway through my rampage, I try to pause the game and then unpause it... It works!! Everything freezes, then continues again!!
The 'game' has pause music, which is an instrumental only version of 'Dont you want me baby', by 'The Human League'

so ... When police car dots appear on the map now, they have a red and blue flashing 'capture zone' circle around them...
... The more bad stuff I do, the bigger the capture zone circles get!... I'm trying to not get caught

So eventually, I end up entering a 'capture zone', the whole map flashes red and blue, and the chase is on!!
... I get chased by a police car, so I run down a cobbled side street with bollards, so they can't pursue me.
... The police get out of the car and pursue me on foot.
As I'm running, I'm trying to keep them away, by grabbing flare grenades and smoke bombs from my belt,
(Where did they come from!?!) and throwing them to distract the police.

This goes on for a little while, then I (Wake up in the early hours of the morning)
