[size=18]New Audio File - Success! 04/29/06

ZenVotex created a file that I requested with his text to speech program. I added some whitenoise and touch of scapes and drones. My 3rd night of testing was a great success. My MAC alarm was set to play the file at 3:00AM. It started playing but I woke and went for a bowl of cereal. After I return back to sleep shortly I had notice in my dream I was sitting in some sort of shopping cart. I heard the voice telling me I am in a dream; I instantly knew I was dreaming. So I had fun with the cart and starting going very fast over hills and eventually started flying it. Well after that I had a false awakening and later dreamed that I helped my friends with some candy that was supposed to help you do reality checks. On the candy they read all the statements that the audio file was saying. This lady was reading them outloud and once again I was lucid. I think at this point I was really on the verge of awake and sleep but I was still dreaming. I looked at my hands and they were almost translucent. The file has a trigger to remember to rub your hands to keep the lucidity and I did. It was really dark in the dream and I was feeling my body go numb and lost control over it which to me was sleep paralysis.

Notes:
I've always had great success with audio files inducing lucid dreams. You just have to train yourself to listen to the voice.

[size=18]04/16/06 - Table top Transport

I was in a wierd dream where my friends and I were using a table to somehow teleport (if you will) to different locations. I don't remember exactly why we were doing this but it was of great importance. So we all sit at the table and put our hands flat on the table and all of the sudden you feel your body and the table spinning real fast. After we arrived at this point I knew I was dreaming. I did the reality test and looked at my hand. My fingers were un-even lengths and one was backwards. So now I knew I was dreaming I decided to show off in front of my friends. We were out side waiting (for what I'm not sure) so I sat down indian style and concentrated on levitating. I started to float and my friends noticed and started freaking out. I told them this is a dream, that's how I can do this.

[size=18]My Old House - 01/17/06

Well this was in the late morning but I remember walking down my old street and looking at something that was supposed to be my old house, but it looked completely different. I instantly knew I was dreaming. The blue sky and clouds looked really vibrant which also assisted in my knowing I was dreaming. I approached the house and went inside. Inside it looked a small club or bar. The guy ask me to pay cover and I think I was with someone but I don't remember seeing their face. Then he asked me how much I was going to tip him, being very forceful and perhaps he was going to kick my ass if I didnt pay extra. His other friends got in on it as well.

At this point I believe I woke up but shortly re-entered the dream and was lucid again. I was outside saw the house again but it looked different on the outside. I was running outside and jumping huge fences from house to house then I realized why don't I just fly which I jumped up and started flying for a while. Eventually somehow we ended up in a chase with some people. I was trying to use my mind and create weapons like a gun but I wasnt successfull. Normally in my lucids I make a point to do the rubbing hands technique to keep lucidity but this was the first in a while where I never did which was a bad idea.

[size=18]More Flying - The Superman Complex

I was in a dream and noticed the vivid colors while I was going down in glass elevator; similar like the end scene in vanilla sky. Except this elevator had bars. Because the visuals were so vivid and colorful, I realized I was dreaming. I slowed down the elevator with the thought, and with a motion of both hands I separated the bars. I started to float out of the elevator and began slowly floating and flying. I though to trigger the theme from Superman and it begin playing. I tried to play music in mind previously in a lucid but with no success. I'm going to try to continue to use this skill I find it interesting. The next scene I remember doing slow-motion acrobatics in front of some people, I dont know who they were or why they were watching me. (i've done this previously in LDs)

[size=18]Dream Characters - 12/19/05

I'm leaving the details of the dream in short but I found out that I was staying at a house that was about to have a big drug deal go down and the police knew about it. Therefore, I realized I woudn't ever be in a situation like this I became lucid. I decided to ask one of my dream characters who they were and what they represented in my sub-concious mind. When I ask my sub-concious mind these sorts of questions I usually get cryptic answers back. This one character said that he "represented my resources!" I'm not quite sure what he meant but I find it interesting.

Dumpster Diving - Completed DEC Advanced Lucid Task!

Well for my lucid task I chose dumpster diving. Santa has elves, he dont need any help - heheh. Well our baby woke us up around 3 for a feeding. So we fed her (put her back to sleep) and I put on my lucid induction mp3 and listened to it for about an hour. I finally knocked back out and in the later morning went lucid. I immediately didnt recognize where I was, I was outside somebody\'s house, whos? I dont know. So I immediately started looking for the dumpster. This whole time I\'m rubbing my hands together so I dont loose the lucidity and some friend (who I didnt recognize) was following me and blabbing about stuff (I wasnt paying attention really). So finally after I go around the outside of the entire house I see the dumpster. I\'m thinking gosh, finally. Seems like it took my mind a while to create it or something. So this thing has like 5 flip top lids I have to get through. When I finally get to the last lid and open it, theres not a bunch of garbage like I expected. I only found a few cleaning products like SHOUT stain remover. I thought it was funny how my mind must have been putting things together, dumpster and cleaning? Hmmmmm. After pulling out a few products I remembered I was supposed to project myself to my friends apartment and describe contents like "real time viewing" So I took and started flying, much later I couldnt find her apartment. Maybe I should have spun there. I always think that if there is astral travel flying seems like the natural way to go.

Later on, I had a false awakening and went lucid again. I was doing tricks for my family in the living room but they werent impressed. I even had Mr. Incredible show up at the door, it just scared my son. Hey I tried to entertain when I have these powers!

[size=18]Wierd OBE / Lucid - 12/3/05

Well I did everything to prep for this but I guess it may have just happened. Before I bed I took some B6, did a light and sound machine session. Then woke up and started playing my Lucid Induction mp3 around 3 AM(I let it looped until the morning). I felt this dream to be possibly OBE feeling / Lucid. I knew I was dreaming; so immediately I was lucid. I saw myself in the bedroom but I was partially leaving my body as it was sleeping. In the corner of the room there was a mirror (note in this room there was no mirror). In the reflection I could see myself sleeping. What was strange was this window was opening and closing and a painting or artwork looked like it was being picked up by an invisible entity/ghost and hitting me over my body. Although I did not feel this attack. At that moment my body got a huge shock/vibration and a couple of visual images (I dont know what they were) and a bright light flashed and I immediately woke up. It sort of shook me up but I thought it was pretty cool!

Additional Comments:
I could hear the mp3 playing during this dream; I didnt loose contact with the sounds.

[size=18]11-28-05 - Giving a Hand!

This was a quick lucid moment this morning but I remember this girl and myself were put on this ride. Some sort of tunnel contraption where you go backwards etc. I don't remember feeling scared but the girl next to me was terrified. She acted like we were being punished or tortured. Well I instantly new that this was a dream and wanted to show her how to get out of the situation. I said "look we can get out of this real easy, this isn't real! Follow me!" So I pulled us out of the pod thing that held us, and grabbed a bar and pulled my self to the platform. She followed me and was very relieved. I said look if this was real could I do this...I jumped in the air and floated at that time I was waking up!
