    The Persistence of Dreams

    Just to start off. I'm a fairly 'new' LDer. I say that loosely, as for the past few months I have began my journey into inducing lucid dreams on a (hopefully) daily basis. I have however, not followed a lot of the techniques into forming habits of becoming aware in the dream.

    I have only achieved lucidity once and only once. I have had many times where while dreaming I have the thought/sensation of "This is definitely a dream..." but just like you're watching a movie, I ended up taking a backseat and watched my dream like you would a movie at a theater. As this is my only experience with LDing, I will describe the fragment. As it is only a fragment because it lasted only a few seconds:
    I was climbing down some sort of ladder in space. As I was climbing down, I had looked down at the earth and around my surroundings and said "This is definitely not possible, and I am definitely dreaming." As soon as I uttered that, I fell off the ladder with space and my surroundings shattering like glass. Then I woke up.

    The following will be updated as I go along in my journey

    Goals: (Key = [-] means ongoing, [] means easily obtainable)
    to obtain lucidity within my dream []
    to be able to control my dreams []
    to be able to understand my dreams at a deeper understanding [-]
    to help my own artistic progress and path. To be able to learn new styles within my dream and transfer the knowledge/skills to waking life []
    To be able to paint my dreams and moments. The best way to record.. []
    To figure out who the mystery woman in my dreams []
    To figure out my dream guide, and just dream people related to me []
    To discover my 'inner' self, being, person. To figure out who I am in my subconscious mind as compared to my conscious, waking mind. [-]
    To ultimately, have fun! [-]

    People who I've come in contact with in the dreamscape who I have not seen in waking life/do not know:
    [i]Mystery woman... I know what she looks like, though I'm not sure I want to set in stone all of her features until I've met her more in my dreams. She has medium length brunette hair. Though, it's not dark like mine, but it's not a light brown either. It's very vibrant. It's actually like the perfect middle ground to light brown, and my dark brown hair..She has big, dark eyes. Not brown or hazel though. Almost like the color of the tea I usually drink.. It's a dark reddish brown, but with some light hues. Definitely not hazel, or at least what I define as hazel.. I have also had a very brief dream where we had two kids, and I appeared to be around my 30s (Maybe...).



    Places I've been:
    The tattoo shop: It was the old location only. I have not in my dream world, visited the new location of the shop.
    Houses I have never seen/been too. Not much explanation here...
    Space
    Courthouse/Jail. Only way to really describe it. I was in this place with L.
    My backyard

    Triggers to make note of:
    My sleeve (tattoo) on my right arm is (of course) blurry when I look down at it. As a note to myself, I need to remember to remember this key aspect, as it could trigger lucidity.
    This sums it up really. I will be editing/adding to this frequently.

      Tobacco Party

      I had a dream of being at my friend Kyle's house. There was a party that was somehow going on around his neighborhood. As I had woken up in his house (I stayed the night last night) he had a pack of cigarettes (didn't have any last night in waking life) and his mother had a pack (she doesnt smoke at all...). She had a pack of Marlboro Golds, and he had a pack of Parliaments I think... They offered me one, and I declined. Though as I went into his room to get my pipe tobacco that I had brought over, It became lost. I had my pipe, but Kyle said I never brought the tobacco over. As I left his room and went past the kitchen, his Aunt Lenore, and his Grandma (Who is dead) were in there making food for the party. I had eaten some chocolate chip cookies, and had taken some that were in the shape of a teddybear and some were in the shape of Boo, from Mario. Someone had asked me where all the cookies had gone, and I had given them the rest of mine. I went back into Kyle's room, and he was on his couch with another friend of his (I don't know this friend). They were both on Laptops (Kyle doesn't own a laptop), smoking cigarettes. I had put my hand in my pocket, and I picked up a cigarette and I ended up rolling it between my fingers and taking the filter out.

      The party was very weird. There was A LOT of people. I'm suprised that many people fit into the room. They all started dancing to some hip-hop song that came on some radio that echoed throughout the house. I stepped outside, and I was suddenly transported into this like, Castle in the sky. There was a woman dressed up in black who was fighting some people. She had gotten some call and was told to exit the castle due to explosives or something that were placed inside. As she busted out of a stain glass window, she took flight on a transparent hang-glider. They people she was fighting had started to fire at her, and (I think) her hang-glider had gotten a hole in it. She had flown over Kyle's house as I was looking up in the sky, and probably landed somewhere up the street. I had asked Kyle to come with me to find it, but he had declined and thought I was making it up.

      Fragment:

      I was in the bathroom at Kyle's house also (Might have been a seperate dream), and I had looked in the mirror and my plug size was bigger (and missing) from my ear lobes. Very abnormal.
