lucid

I'm in a multi-level structure that appears to be a very upscale hotel suite. I suddenly realize I'm in a dream, begin flying and trying to determine what I want to do. I fly through the window and head outside. I turn back toward the building a re-enter through the wall into another of the rooms. I begin flying around this area, and then wonder if I can explore a bit more to find a DC to speak to. After exploring this floor and realizing it's vacant, I exit once again through the wall and fly to a higher level. Once in this area, I notice nobody is around and fly to the opposite side of a wall toward where there's a bed which looks like someone is sleeping underneath. I pull the sheets of to see if there's anyone there, but it's empty The dream begin to fade and I make an effort to stay aware and catch a false awakening.I begin waking, and soon realize I'm truly awake.

I am in a building with multiple levels and corridors and am attempting to reach a room in the corner of the top floor. I become aware that I'm dreaming, and understand that I can simply fly through all of the walls, toward the room. I begin flying through the walls, but the dream becomes blurry and I realize I'm risking losing it's stability and my lucidity. I stop for a moment and think back to a dream goal. I ask the dream: "what is a source of my happiness?". The face of a younger boy appears in the dream with a small smile and says "Dragons". The dream fades right after.

I head outside and see some workers. I look at my hands and realize I'm dreaming. I'm in the front of M Street, looking at the large tree in the front. I continue through the grass at nighttime, and appreciate the dim light over the scene. I head toward the tree and gaze at it's massive, texture trunk. I phase into the tree, and realize I'm standing inside it's core. I intuitively feel this is a teleportation area, so I imagine myself transitioning somewhere new, then phase back out through the bark of the tree. I begin feeling the outer bark of the tree, and appreciate the rich texture. The dream fades.

I find myself in the front of M street at night walking toward a tree in the front with crimson leaves. I continue toward the street and gaze across at the mansion across the road. I decide to fly in this direction and explore the dreamscape. Bright lights are coming through the second story windows in yellow hues. I continue to head forward. I ask the dream casually to last for an hour, expecting it with calmness. I remain calm and keep ground into the dream. I enter the house and it transitions into a gym with many people on elipticals. I fly around a bit then exit through the back. I progress through a series of outdoor areas during mid-day. In each area, there is typically one mystical looking tree with a different theme. I am very interested in climbing each one and observing the protrusions from the trunk. I wonder if I can find any artifacts in the trees. In one area, the surface of the bark is covered in dragon heads with open mouths that serve has grips. The bark is a white dull color, and the tree has a mystic quality. I imagine what might be at the top and climb. Eventually I descend and head to the next area. I explore the outdoor setting and view another mystic tree. At the top of another tree is a powerful enemy who I decide not to fight. I descend to another outdoor space, and attempt to cast a massive fireball out of my hands. No visuals appear, so I continue to fly through the scene.

I'm in the back area of M Street looking at an amazing sunrise, filling the sky with pink hues. The back of a school bus is positioned in the clouds. I turn toward the house and walk up the back steps and begin jumping.I suddenly realize I'm dreaming as I progress to resist gravitaty, and float toward the windows. i remind myself that there's no laws, and I can just imagine/will myself to fly.I get up to the second story balcony and grab on. I enter and begin walking through the room, feeling everything intently. I walk to the front of the house and continue around the stairs and into the back area. I consider what I should do in the dream and decide against dream goals as I just want to have fun an explore. I turn to the right and head into the kitchen and search through the fridge. I grab some peas and eat some of the container, but it's very watery. There's several boxes of Chinese food, and I grab one white box, open it and look at the small green leaves insides. The dream begins to fade and I wake uip.

1. I'm exiting a dream and have a thought that If I were in a dream I'd realize I was dreaming. The understanding I'm in a dream hits me and I become lucid. There are no visuals and everything is a dark blur. Visuals kick in all of a sudden and I'm in the front of the house on M street, in the grass in the middle of the night. The night time atmosphere is very peaceful and I'm looking toward the exapanse of grass as well as the tree to my right. I consider going to the left to the area I went to in a previous lucid, an area which contains the Growing Red Tree of Life, but decide to go in a new direction. I walk a short distance in the grass and come upon a bush with dim yet shining spiked leaves. I keep repeating "I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming..Focus Focus". I continue rubbing hands and making sure I'm grounded. I shout to the dream: "What is my greatest joy?" yet there is no response. I continue in the front yard for a bit. The visuals cut out and I place my hands on the ground. I think of a Xanous lucid where he stabilized a great lucid by making out with the sidewalk. I bend down and kiss the dream floor which has no visuals. I stay a bit longer in the void then enter a vivid non lucid for a short period.

I enter an intebetween state and have thoughts which question how I would know if I were dreaming

I soon find myself in the kitchen area in Via San and become lucid spontaneously. I think I could go for some dream goals, but realize I could explore the front and grab some cacao slabs before I head out. I grab some big bags of cacao and begin making a trip to the front doors. There's a greening hue glowing through the double glass doors to my left in the middle of the night. I turn and continue to the front door. I decide against fading through the glass and make it more difficult by phasing on an angle through the thick non-transparent wall. I pop out in the front and consider going to my left toward a tree. I decide instead on heading right since I've never been there in a lucid. I decide against flying. I think about stabilization and turn to a small tree to my right with big yellow and black sunflowers growing off of the branches. I reach out and feel the vivid texture and smell the full fragrance and am intrigued. I continue on and consider trying some of the chocolate. I walk a bit further in the grass, yet the dream fades, and I keep reminding myself I'm dreaming as I rub hands. the dream soon fades.

[COLOR="#000080"]I realize I'm dreaming spontaneously within a void state. I stay in the blackness for a short period, and think back to a podcast about Astral Projection. I decide I need to head back to my body and project. I enter a slightly different state of awareness, and separate from what I perceive as a sleeping body. I appear in an area - which appears to be via san - with green couches. I walk up appreciatin the realism and feel the texture of the couches for a bit to stabilize.[COLOR="#000080"] The dream soon fades

I'm staring at the sliding glass door on M Street, and I suddenly realize I'm in a dream. I continue to look at the vividness of the glass doors as I gaze into the backyard. I decide to phase through, and glide through the glass effortlessly. I walk out onto the patio outside and look all around at the details. It's mid-day and there's sunlight in the backyard. I look around at some of the bushes in front of me, and take in all the shapes and tiers. I consider walking ahead, but I feel I've gone into this area in too many LDs. I look right to the small garden and fence and decide against flying up to the right as I've gone in that direction before to. I decide to try to teleport by diving through the tan concrete right below me. I look down and dive right into the concrete, yet the dream goes into a void as soon as I do so. I continue to wait in this state within vision for a couple minutes reminding myself that the next scene will begin. I maintain awareness, and remain patient. I soon wake up in bed for the day.

I continue through a few corridors and finally reach the top of a staircase at the end. I approach the doors and realize I'm dreaming as I make my way through. There's a few tables to the left of people sitting down to eat at taller tables. I look forward through the glass lining the entire length of the room and stare out to a beach scene with light colored sand and water set back about ten yards from the building. In front of the glass walls, a long bar stands with a few people working behind it preparing drinks. I reflect that I'm in a dream again and remember I can grab anything to eat without worrying about it. I don't get anything, but turn and look to my left and phase through a set of double doors. I enter the next area, and the dream becomes unstable. I continue asking for focus and clairty repeatedly, but the dream fades and I wake.

I head out of the back of the ship and fly into the next area which transitions into a wooded area. I reflect on the fact that I'm flying, and realize that I'm inside of a dream. I continue into the wooded area and take in the snowy scene. It is the dead of night, and the moon is broviding a bit of light into the woods. I continue to fly by the pines which are completely bare of any leaves in the middle of winter. I think about how this area is a persistent realm of sorts as it appears to be connected to a portion of M Street. I feel really at peace simply flying and don't initiate any dreams goals. I wonder how long I'll be able to simply explore the forest. The dream rapidly fades and I wake.

I'm in a factory looking area standing next to a wall in the dark. I have a thought about dreams and lucid dreams and suddenly realize I'm inside of a dream. I stare down to where the corridor follows along the wall and see the edge of the large room in the darkness. I appear to be in a factory building with little lighting and vaulted cielings at night time. I remind myself that I have total control and can simply fly up above the wall by thinking I can. I fly upward and grab on to the top of the wall to my right to look over. There is barbed wire, and I launch myself over the guarded wall into the next area of the factory. I descend upon a raised platform in the middle of the large room, and the dream begins to fade. I remind myself to hold attention as visuals begin slipping. I soon wake up.

A heavy set lady is downstairs in M Street at night. She's making a comment about asking someone to pinch her as tough she's dreaming. I tell her with a smirk that you can just do a nose-pinch if you want to tell if you're dreaming. I noseplug, breate and become lucid. I look across the living room and see her in the dark on the far side sitting on the couch. I decide to torpedo-fly over to her to ask questions before she heads out. I zoom quickly across the room and land on the couch. The dream is a bit fuzzy and I want to stabilize, but decide to close my eyes in the dream and try to use body sense and vibration to enter another dream scene. I appear in a void after some time and wait for a dream to form. I stay for a bit longer and have an FA in bed. I'm reminding myself to become lucid in the next dream, trying to drift to sleep in the dream. A strange sounding alarm goes off.

1. I'm in the living room on M street, and sit down on the couch. I think that I haven't had an LD in a while, so I decide to close my eyes and fall aleep as a family member is working on a computer across the room. I begin drifting to sleep in the dream thinking about lucid dreaming. I find myself in another building walking down a corridor and through a door. As I pass through the doorway, my awareness raises and I realize I'm in a dream. I begin flying at rapid speed speed down various corridors and into different rooms. I finally enter a slightly larger room with a stage and some people sitting on stools at tables eating dinner. It resmebles some type of lounge with a live band. I remember back to a dream goal I had wanted to test out, and decide to call out to the dream: "What is my greatest joy?". I await a response, but nothing comes for quite a bit. I decide to wait it out. I'm really interested in a response, but feeling let down by the dream narration when a sudden answer comes. In a ridiculous voice sounding like Kermit The Frog, the awareness behind the dream call out to me in a rapid, sarcastic tone: "...Mac and Cheese...". my lucidty breaks for a short period.
*Later on I ended up waking up for a WBTB and was laughing my ass off from this

I end up back in the living room in M street by the couch. I tell myself that instead of getting up I'm going to sit and go to sleep to have more lucid dreams. I think - without lucidity - that the previous experience was awesome. I sit and close my eyes.

2. I find myself walking down a corridor once again and suddenly realize I'm in a dream. I begin moving through the corridors at a incredibly fast pace in increments, like 'zooming' through all the scenes. I think back to a post in which Zoth posted a video describing this tech. I have good control over the super quick movements, and am blasting my way through all the corridors in the dreamscape. I notice that I can start a mental command similar to a woosh which reverberates into the scene which helps with the zooming. I combine this with quick intermittent movement of my legs and arms, as though sprinting in very short intervals. I once again enter the room from the previous lucid and appraoch the people eating dinner from their high circular tables by the stage. I see that they're eating chicken legs. I'm feeling super hungry, and decide to eat some. I begin eating one quickly and it tastes and feels incredibly vivid; the texture and taste are about 90% similar to waking life. I gnaw on the end of the bone and actually feel the end of the bone crunch and taste it. My front two teeth become very sensitive, and I actually feel discomfort on my teet from it. I decide to stop using dream time in this area, and leave the couples after the second table. I head out of the room and zip down another corridor practicing the dream zooming tech. After a couple corridors,
I wake up - in a non-lucid dream - in M street on the couch. I decide to get to writing the dreams down right away in order to not forget them; I feel that they were awesome. I head into the next room and begin to tell family members that I just had a few lucid dreams.

*First LD of night forgotten upon waking.

I'm helping some students transition through a door in the upper part of a stairwell by making hand signals to them. I turn around in the stairwell to head down, and see a large metal machine. It appears to be long piece of equipment designed to transfer cocoa liquor down a long flow system. I think 'hey this was one of my dream goals before sleep!... or close' as I enter a low level of lucidity. I realize I wanted to go to factory but figure this is pretty close. I decide to taste some of the cocoa liquor so I make a small chalice appear in my hand and scoop some from the metal flowing fountain. It doesn't have much of a taste. I feel the dream isn't very vivid and feel as though it may end soon. I consider my sleeping body in bed. I decide that I could try to pull some bars out of the cocoa liquor while I'm there. I go to reach in but lose lucidity.

I'm looking out the window and into the backyard. I see all the trees in the back of my property in the dark of night and say to myself 'I wish I was lucid'. It hit's me and I say excitedly to myself 'I'm Lucid!' with the realization I'm in a dream. I remember my dream goal right away: studying how my own gravity works in dreams. I make a slight movement upward and completely resist all gravity, and float upward easily. I come down and go for a second very easy jump with very low gravity. On my decent, I phase through the wall to my right and sink partway into the ground, slowly. My visual go into white and I remind myself to stabilize and hold until the next scene. I rub my hands and hold in this white-out for a couple minutes.

I begin looking out to the right window of my bedroom at the neighbor's house. The entire side is an intense, shining blue stained glass, resembling church in many ways. I do a double take, and something feels very strange and familiar about this state. I realize I'm dreaming and begin stand up and walk toward the window. I jump out, but my visuals go white. I stay in this white void area for several minutes, rubbing my hands and reminding myself I'm in a dream. I try intently to wait until the next dream scene starts. After several minutes, I wake up.

I'm aware that a dream is forming within my visual field, and I begin to see three figures appearing. The three are younger males, with one in the front, and two flanking behind him. The one in the front has an organge jacket on, and the three gradually become a bit more vivid. I don't quite feel like it's time to 'walk in' to the dream yet so I concentrate a bit longer. I get slightly excited, but quickly keep my cool and focus. I get some distracting thoughts that tell me I'll lose the dream/that it's not stable enough, but I suppress them for the time, and continue to focus strongly on the figures. The dream solidifies and I simply expect my dream body to be able to emerge seamlessly into the scene. I focus on the front figure and make a rapid approach by flying at him and I'm anchored in. I stand for a moment, and the three disappear. I'm standing in the middle of what appears to be a rectangular grassy field in the middle of the night. Trees surround the entire perimeter, with even larger trees situated beyond the left edge. The tops of the trees have sparse leaves, and moonlight come through the canopy and slightly lights the field. I feel I need to stabilize more and begin rubbing my hands. I continue to tell myself I'm lucid. I look around the field a bit. I then begin to spin as things are getting a bit shaky. I end up in a void without visuals, and continue rubbing my hands resolving to remain in the whole way through. After a couple minutes I decide to use the visual dream yoga techs as this has worked in the past. I make my visual field light blue and begin imagining white birds. I quickly switch to green as I'd rather go to a forest. I try to focus on trees appearing with some success. After a few more moments I appear in a FA where I'm thinking about my last dreams.
