As I climbed the glacier that I used to climb every night, I think hard about the task at hand. Once I reach the top, I am at my school. There is nobody there - which is odd - as I walk around, I hear nothing, see nothing, feel nothing. I come to the quick realization that this is because I did not want to adventure tonight, I simply wanted to complete the tasks at hand. I decide to have some fun and fly to my house (I tried flying with wings for the first time; I prefer no winged flight) in order to fall asleep and dive deeper within my subconscious. When I fall asleep in my bed, I wake up in a very old room. The room seemed like it could be in a castle somewhere, but the technology in the room seemed out of place, since there was a Brownie Camera (the first TOTY) sitting on top of a small wooden desk. Directly in front of me, was a mirror. I could see what I was wearing: A black spy suit, with a hood over my head (very splinter cell-esque) and the camera in my hand. I took a picture of myself looking into the mirror with the camera. Since this is a dream, the camera functioned like a Polaroid camera (I actually have no idea if this is how the actual Brownie Camera functions) and instantly gave me the picture. There was no dimension in the picture, it was simply flattened and very 2-D. The strangest part, however, was the fact that I was not in the picture. The mirror did not show my reflection, but simply what was behind the camera, which was a picture of a knight in a suit of armor. After I put the camera down, I knew it was time to enter my reflection. As I got closer, I could see the outline of my body slowly shake. I put my hand inside of the mirror, and I felt a cool sensation. As I went more and more inside of the mirror, the sensation grew, until I was fully emerged in a cool liquid. When I opened my eyes, I noticed that I was surrounded by water now. I could see the sunlight above, and swam towards it. Around me, there were icebergs and nothing else. I quickly teleported to safety, and awoke from my slumber.
First Stage: Avoided. Second Stage: Fell asleep straight into second stage Third Stage: Not obtained. Length: 9 hours real time & 3 days SSLD (second stage lucid dream) time As soon as I fell asleep, I realized that I fell asleep not into a first stage dream, but I automatically dreamt of falling asleep as I fell asleep and entered a second stage dream rather quickly. The key part that I recall was the entering of a canyon with two friends of mine: ReyRey and Matthew. Why these two were chosen? I'm not sure. I don't usually talk to these people but it has been quite a while since I had an adventure with either of them and I suppose it was about time I did so. The key part of the dream was the fact that we believed bigfoot was in our canyon. We entered the canyon every day in search of this mythical creature, and never found him. Upon traveling down the canyon, we would walk up a hill where we would meet up with a bunch of friends and go to school. On the second day of my dream, I was at school in a car going ridiculously fast, and I lost my shirt. I then used my eagle vision that I always have in my dreams to see my friend Jacob C. (one of my favorite people to discuss dreams with) riding his bike in the direction I needed to go. I teleported to him to ask him for a ride, when I came to the sardonic conclusion that I was able to teleport. I then suddenly had a shirt and went to the canyon to meet my friends. At the top of the canyon, I was having technical difficulties filling my computer up with gas (this part makes little to no sense to me). I asked Matthew to finish it up for me as ReyRey and I walked down to the canyon. I yelled at him to make sure he screwed the cap on afterwards. After Matthew joined us, we began our daily walk through the canyon. About halfway through, we looked behind at us to see the tunnel of trees was suddenly darker. The temperature suddenly colder, and the wind suddenly stronger. Out of the shadows, emerged that largest owl I could ever imagine. We sprinted up the hill to meet with our friends, like usual. Everyone this time was not going to school, but merely relaxing. I remember pulling aside a few people and telling them what happened, but they play very minuscule parts in both my life and my dreams. The only other random part I remember was when I was sitting with my girlfriend at a bar and the bartender who was a mutual friend of ours gave us this ridiculously sweet liquid and a banana. I remember eating the banana and I also recall us sharing the sweet soda given to us, but the rest is history and confusing.
I do not plan on sharing my hundreds of stage two dreams one by one within this journal, but I would like to describe my first second stage dream. Date: Around a year ago. Background Story: Before this dream, I was already able to attain lucidity in 100% of my dreams. Please ignore the video, it should only be listened to.
