    1. Castle and Gold Dust - Jan 31, 2015

      by , 02-03-2015 at 01:53 AM
      I was standing inside a castle (lucidly inspired by Dawneye11’s castle quest). There was a huge gothic room, displaying many ornate objects, and it spanned for at least 40 yards. There were a few dream figures standing around me, and I decided to take a flight to the other side of the room to help stabilize. I picked a spot on the far wall, and focussed on being there, and I quickly flew across the room, and then I returned back to be with the dream figures. One of the dream figures asked how I flew across the room, and I replied, “I can fly simply by focussing on where I want to go, and zoom, off I go!” I didn’t mention anything about the lucidity being a contributing factor. The other dream figures watch and listened with interest. Then a man dug a big hole in the floor and started to pull out piles of gold dust! I lost lucidity because I was totally enthralled with all that gold. The rest dream was spent trying to get the gold out of the castle.

    2. Barefoot Reminiscing, Power/Sexytime, Subnuclear Time Shift

      by , 02-03-2015 at 01:41 AM (The Kestrel's Dreams)
      February 02, 2015


      Barefoot

      I was at the old science and math center i went to in Highschool, visiting for a special day or something. I had signed up for two special classes for this day, and my old friend A ended up being in the first one too. We got to catch up and were sitting in our seats (the class was in the presentation center) for at least an hour after the class, and then it was time for the next class. We had started walking around and I didn't know where my shoes were, so I put the rest of my things in the room for the next class, at a spot I wanted to sit in. They would hold my spot while I looked for my shoes.

      I found my shoes but when I got back to that class room, it was packed and someone had taken my seat. I didn't even find all my stuff, either. I was like "Screw it." I decided to take off my shoes again and walk around barefoot reminiscing with A and coughing (my cough was persistent, man. It even shoes up in a half of my dreams)




      Power Struggles

      I was involved in this campus-wide power struggle of a water fight. Everyone had a huge water gun, but if you got hit three times you had to stop playing. I was running from my brother, B, and his friend, who had formed a small team and were after me. I got each of them twice, but then they both nailed me so I was out of the game for good. I threw my water gun to the side, a bit upset with myself for not having joined their team, and walked away.

      I was bored though, and wanted to hang out with my brother. I decided to go find their base, which had been somewhere in the center of campus. I was expecting a little hut or something but when I got there it looked like they had taken over most of the area, and gated or roped it off from the public. There were guards all over the place. B just happened to be at the main entrance. I told him, "Hey I'm not in the game anymore so can I chill here with you guys?" He took me to his friend, who was the leader, and vouched for me. Apparently B was the leader's right-hand-man, so he was like, "sure, welcome." So I somehow became the second right-hand-man. My first input was to help pick the color of the new sign to name the base. I had assumed it would be the leader's own name, but he named it after his mom instead. I thought that was kinda cute.

      After putting up the new sign in the entrance, I noticed that a computer that was along the wall was all wet. B said someone must have attacked it with a water-gun to sabotage them. I took a closer look and noticed sticky, green stuff under the mouse. "Guys someone just spilled Mountain Dew on it and then got it wet to cover their asses." The Leader came up behind me and reached past to see the evidence. "She's right."

      He found out who it was and punished them, not for spilling the Mountain Dew, but for being a coward and trying to hide it AND for doing a messy job of hiding it. "If you're going to blame someone else, do it so you never get caught!"

      So then, the Leader, B and I went down to the basement because we needed to fix some super important machine. It was this sort of vacuum thing, with a long tube coming from it. The tube was inserted into a glass cylinder of some sort, and that cylinder did something special. Leader held the cylinder and instructed me to pull out the tube so he could inspect the inside of it. As I was holding the end of the vacuum tube, I looked at it, and realized it looked a lot like a penis. Suddenly the Leader sticking his face up to the glass cylinder and sticking his fingers in it was very sexual and I was getting turned on. He finished inspecting it, and held it out so I could stick the tube back in it. I looked at it again, and then looked at the Leader and said, "If this penis were a real penis, it'd be a really happy penis because I'm holding it," and I he just kinda stared at me and blushed. I grinned and stuck the penis-like thing back into the glass opening, then walked back up the stairs passing various blushing young men who had heard me. The Leader and B followed me up and we all went into the main room of the base, which was having a party or something. The Leader had put the machine we just fixed on a table somewhere, and when I was at a table with a drink, I felt him come up against me from behind. We were about to leave and go to his suite, when there was a ransom call. He rolled his eyes though, because apparently it was just his aunt pranking him. She did that often I guess. Anyways, he took my hand and dragged me upstairs and we had a little fun.




      LOOK! A Subnuclear Time Shift!

      My little brother, E, and I were visiting B in some other town. We'd all left his place to go to the main street of the town so we could get some food or drinks. We were cutting through a park or backyard or something, and it was dark. When we got out of the park thing, there was a loud noise and behind us a large blue rift opened up in the air. B called it a "Subnuclear Time Shift," whatever that is. I didn't believe him, but I was scared of whatever it was because it was dark and it gave me to spooks.

      We got to the main street, and found two 10-ish-year-old girls who had lost their friend after walking home with her. I was about to go sit with them and try to comfort them and figure out where they lived, when I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see the 10th Doctor standing behind me. He held his finger to his mouth in the "shh" motion, and I was speechless and instantly horny. I was about to attack him when he turned me into the girl the other two had lost. I was supposed to pretend to be that girl to find out more about what happened. Apparently aliens were involved. So I went to talk to the girls and pretended I had just got lost and found them again. We didn't find out much but we got them both home and I said we would play again tomorrow and gave them both a drawing I'd just whipped up for them. They really loved the drawings apparently and promised we would hang out tomorrow.

      Then I woke up in B's living room from a nap. I wondered what that dream had been about. E and B came into the room and suggested we go get some dinner, so we all left B's place and took the same park path. Again, at the end of the path, a blue rift in the sky appears and B calls it a Subnuclear Time Shift. I realize how strange this is, and look down at my hands. They're normal-ish but there's a sort of aura-hand in them, too. So I was still dreaming! I look back at the rift and wonder what might be on the other side of it, but then I wait because the Doctor might come back and I can attack talk to him. I look around and then I spot him talking to the two little girls. I felt the dream destabilize but couldn't really do anything to keep myself in it, and woke up.

    3. Sometimes a Hug can be Scary - Friday Jan 30, 2015

      by , 02-03-2015 at 01:28 AM
      In this dream I was standing at the top of the stairs at my old home, and then my daughter came running up the stairs with a dark haired friend, whom I didn’t recognize. Can you say instantly lucid? We hugged for long time, and at one point we both cried, but I composed myself and asked her, “Who’s your friend?” She quickly said, “That’s D______ (I didn’t catch the name), my friend from Heaven!” I gently placed my daughter down and turned around and gave her friend a big hug too (I think I teleported a few feet towards her), but this poor little girl totally freaked out, and her eyes turned reddish with fear. Usually my hugs do wonders while lucid, but this little girl didn’t like that at all. My daughter firmly said, “Dad, don’t hug her, because you’re scaring her!” I felt upset because I scared her, and I woke up.

    4. Perfumes in the Mall

      by , 02-03-2015 at 12:50 AM (The Dream Magic Experiment)
      I was in a mall with mom. I was trying out the perfumes. I put one on on my wrist and tried to smell it but can't. I asked mom to smell it and tell me what she thinks. It was too strong. I asked the guy in the perfume area to let me try another one. I put it on the back of my hand and tried to smell it again: nothing. I let mom smell it, and she said it's "okay" but nothing special. Those were original perfumes, too. I told her for some reason, I can't smell them. Must be my cold. We left the area without buying anything.

      We passed by a table that lets people sign up for colleges abroad. I forgot which colleges, but I thought of signing up. I thought that mom might not allow me to study abroad.

      NOTE:

      - I very rarely dream about perfumes.
      - I tried focusing on my breathing as I fell asleep, hoping it will help me transition to lucid dreaming.
      - This dream happened as I was waking up already. I woke up a few times in the evening and failed to write my dreams.

    5. Over Unity land

      by , 02-03-2015 at 12:34 AM
      Had a dream last night that I was in this theme park shop kind of center where everything was powered self sufficient, and I went around collecting toys like bike helmets and browsing around the shop for things. There was games to play and seemed generally like a magical land in outer space that I had found. I thought this is far away from earth where things are different even gravity worked a bit differently. I can't remember much of the dream but took the chance to note it here while I could.
    6. nREM Repeating Actions

      by , 02-02-2015 at 10:33 PM (Cities in the Astral)
      02/01/15 I have been coming aware a lot during the long-term memory establishment phase lately. Normally being aware during this phase pisses me off and I then end up shutting it down (I wonder to what consiquence. This is where some mundane thing like a task at work plays out over and over endlessly. I normally refuse to dream about work, but these phases have been about tiling. I would think this would be just as nauseating, but I have kind of enjoyed it. Maybe I feel like I am getting ideas for the work still to be done. I know these phases are required, but it is usually the one part of a conscious sleep hat I dispise

    7. Visiting Germany and Greece DILD - Sensei's Competition

      by , 02-02-2015 at 10:26 PM
      I​ recommend reading my previous DJ entry first. Only 6 views and it is more eventful...(apparently DV only allows members to view DJ's now...unless it is a bug.)

      1015-1030? 238am-320am? for wbtb. leftist rally in Germany? German accent: "... ...in the mother fu**ing ..." was the name of event or rally. Night time. Familiar train station? Fragment.

      Greece LD wake from LD ~4:50pm
      I'm with brother in law E and brother-in-law B in the dream but we're meeting the former at a coastal cliff side house in some town in Greece. We are walking along the beach and up a path and we see beautiful views of cliffs all around. After we get to the home and visit for a little bit we're heading back to where we came, this time along with brother in law E on this return leg. He seems to know a shortcut and he's going around the other side of the cliff and the footholds are not very wide and they're going pretty quick ahead of me and I'm cautiously taking my time. They stop at a bend in the cliffs and look at a swimming spot down below. It is absolutely beautiful down there and a beautiful sunny day. They continue on, but the path seems too narrow and not worth the risk when I can just go back the way I first came earlier in the day along the beach. When I think about the earlier path along the beach it seems like it was a dream memory maybe from a previous dream and I realize that this is a dream right now. I float up in the air just enough to confirm as an RC. I then start to fly back towards the beach going slow and not with a lot of directional control at the beginning which is a little unusual for me. I go back and forth left and right to correct my direction flying over a rugged rocky area. It is beautiful and exhilarating being up in the air reminding me of my simulated flying last night while a passenger in a car going over various overpasses (for day practices)...but so much better! I am unbounded drifting across the sky. I still have not seen any DC's so I decide to turn around and see if I can find my brother in laws and surprise them or something on their trek along that narrow path by the cliffs. As I fly down that way back towards the cliffs I feel myself abruptly return to bed and the way I woke up and my level of rest seems to indicate I was at the end of an REM cycle. Too short but back to lucidity after too many dry days! Found motivation for day work and also did a number of "I'm dreaming" mantras during the day. Corrected monkey brain during SSILD. No.274


      Cafe epiphany NLD or semi: I'm modern me sitting outdoors at a cafe soaking in the moment. I see happy and sad faces on this beautiful day . "If you don't open yourself up to the world around you, you will miss out on so many experiences," I tell my companions. People who look sad look like they're walking around "in a bubble" with tunnel vision, seemingly oblivious to all the beauty around them.

    8. A deal

      by , 02-02-2015 at 10:14 PM
      A woman is standing in my home - I'm not physically present at the moment - and looking into a mirror that's showing her various visions. Currently it's showing her the man she loves with a very beautiful young servant standing underneath a tree, carrying out an affair. This isn't a surprise - she was already aware of it.

      The scene in the mirror changes, showing her an image of herself in a shop. There's no sound but the shop owner seems to be repeatedly asking her something that she refuses to respond to. When he approaches her, she throws out a hand to tell him to back off, but her nails brush his throat and cut it open, covering her with his blood. She looks shocked, but quickly recovers and hurries out of the shop.

      This second vision reminds her of my instructions to her. She has to eat a human heart tonight if that young and beautiful body I gave her is going to become hers permanently. And regularly after that, but that's not important, that's just basic dietary needs - the important part is this first time, making a deliberate decision.

      She steps through a portal back into her world, the courtyard of her own home. But as she looks around things look strange to her - most notably, the sky is covered with grey clouds that seem unnatural to her. It's as if she's seeing both her world and mine at the same time, and she wonders if this is how I see her world all the time. I'm thinking, you're getting a bit mixed up about which world is yours now.
    9. Life itself and the Queen of Swans

      by , 02-02-2015 at 10:03 PM
      I was among a crowd of people (outside I think) and was walking around a conversing with them. Some of them stuck their fingers in my mouth and moved it around. At one point a bright light outside my vision appeared and the entire crowd (including myself) started running towards it. When we reached the light we turned around and started running away from it because the light was "life itself". At the time it seemed funny rather than scary, maybe there was some part of my mind realizing how absurd it was?

      I was in a carpark when a man started shooting at civilians. I curled up behind a pillar and began to shake. I knew my mother was in the carpark too and I kept looking around for her in fear. Eventually I saw her walking away in the distance and felt relieved. At this point the danger was gone but I knew (didn't see) that the man had shot and killed a young woman. There was a brief moment when I heard her friend crying.

      After the shooting I met a woman who was grateful to me (for some reason) and she invited me to her home to stay the night. (I got the impression I couldn't go to my own home) When I arrived at her home she forget about me and started wandering aimlessly around the room. Her daughter arrived home at this point and sat down on a couch. (I'm not sure but I think she was watching tv) The woman gave me some chicken nuggets (although the were more like chicken balls) and I ate them. (I don't remember what they tasted like but I was happy with them I think) I told her I'd sleep on the couch, I had a blanket in my hand. The couch was covered in dander and fur.

      After this something happened in a supermarket and the woman attempted to cast a spell on herself (I think, this part was super foggy) but accidentally caused her daughter to disappear. The woman was distraught and I watched her grow old. (I think some time passed) I was then with the woman outside when two swans appeared behind us, flying upwards in a circular motion. A young woman in a light coffee coloured dress stepped out from the circle. It was the daughter who had disappeared. (After I woke up I remembered her face incredibly vividly, although it's become hazier since then) She was wearing glasses and had her brown hair tied up in a bun. I think she looked a bit like a mousier Audrey Hepburn. She declared that she had become the Queen of Arendale (too much once upon a time) and I noted that she was probably the Queen of Swans too.

      -----------------------------------------------

      I mentioned it already, but the most exciting thing about this dream was how clearly I remembered the daughters face when I first woke up. It was like seeing someone in real life, turning around and trying to visualise what they looked like.

    10. The wednesday ritual

      by , 02-02-2015 at 08:40 PM
      NON LUCID
      *I observed this strange guy covered in tattoos which at the sight of him gave a sick feeling to my stomach, bad vibes you could say. I seemed to being attending some kind of a roof top party. Somebody struck up a consersation with him by saying, "You practice witch craft too?" I thought,"This is why I got that strange feeling from him!" The strange man began describing a protection ritual he called by the name of "The wednesday ritual". This reminded of the R&B artist the weekend, because he also has a song titled wednesday. I thought maybe is it possible The weekend is involved in witchcraft. LOL.

    11. 2015-01-29 Comp (SCoAA) night #9: searching for the sun

      by , 02-02-2015 at 08:27 PM
      The impression of lots of dreams, recall spotty though

      + ChrBen is not playing right, I follow him calling out "might as well call it "glinklesplort" <some nonsense>"

      He's playing the game wrong, he's making multiple hits and following the (ball?) and keeps presenting this as one turn, it's obviously cheating so that we may as well call it a different game.

      + billiards: I give the shaft conditioner to the girl who uses it and I use the tip sandpaper myself, up-close view

      I bring out the shaft conditioner (basically a hollow cylinder made of a mildly abrasive material), mention you need to blow on it to get out
      the old dust. Then I take out my tip rougher (small plastic doohicky with sandpaper glued to it) and start roughing up the edges of my tip. I watch while the girl runs the conditioner up and down her cue stick, and then she really starts grinding it a lot near the tip. I think she probably will like how smooth it is.

      + crazy billiards: lots of obstacles on the table: vases, pieces of paper, etc.

      +(f) oral sex?

      + taking the girl out to lie in the last rays of the run for the day on yellow towels, two-finger-kiss salute to girl in house, is the house locked?, walking looking for sun, raised cement/pebble platform, dilapidated wooden bench, "if you're happy and you know it"

      I'm in a small house and am taking a girl out to sit in the sun. We need two large yellow bathtowels. We have one but need one more, there is (my other girlfriend?) lying down on a couch/lounger on top of just such a towel. I reach under her and pull it out. I wonder if she'll mind that I'm going out with this other girl. I bring my index/middle fingers together, kiss them, blow he the kiss then point the fingers at her, she makes the same gesture back to me so I guess she's OK with out.

      Going out, I try to remember if I've locked the door.

      We're walking around a university campus (my old one) and see that the patches of sunlight are really starting to shrink. At one point she walks on the other side of a building from me but we soon rejoin. She's walking in front of me slightly and another group of students walk close to her, startling her, making her jump a little bit and look suddenly to the right at them. I see her face in profile clearly, she is Asian (I don't think she was at the house).

      We're walking through a small area between buildings with stairways going up, some students are sitting on the stairs, few spots of sun around but just on the bare ground, not really acceptable.

      We're walking and she points out a place ahead, but it's just on the concrete, not grass, she indicates she doesn't like it. I say "well that's what you get (for going out at the end of the day when the sun is disappearing)".

      On a sort of raised patio I see a higher patio with some grasses growing to the right, I make for it. Some other students are heading there, too. I want to get there first. I'm looking at the pebbly/concrete "steps" making up this raised area and thinking about jumping up there.

      I look across the patio we're on and see a long, dilapidated wooden bench running along the entire edge of the patio. It looks to be in pretty bad shape, but I offer that as a possibility.

      I'm standing there with a guy, some children are singing a song ("let the sunshine in"?), and he's upset about this, saying, "Are you *CRAZY*?!" (he thinks the singing will bother the wildcats who will go nuts and (attack us?)).

    12. Senseis Competition 2/2

      by , 02-02-2015 at 06:26 PM (dolphin's dreams)
      As I was falling asleep, I decided to pretend I was already lucid dreaming. I pretended I had to call my boss over the radio phone when it was time to get up from bed. I could hear the buttons on the phone and hear my boss at the other end. He gave me the go-ahead to get up. I got up and looked around. I could see some digital clocks that had numbers missing. Then I tried to levitate, which I did. I jumped up and imagined I would fall though a hole in the ground to teleport. The ground felt bubbly though so it felt more like I was sinking than falling. I passed though a duplicate room before arriving at an industrial yard. I floated up and imagined what it would feel like to be a dolphin. I quickly and fully transformed into one, but without flukes and half my tail. An angry dog approached me so I bit it with my beak, showing it who's boss. I woke up.

    13. 9th Night Sensei's Competition

      by , 02-02-2015 at 06:25 PM
      I was watching a scene where a bunch of guys (don't know why but I'm pretty sure they were the German football team) were in a platform in the middle of the ocean in their speedos jumping to the sea.
      I'm guessing they were training.
      One of them was really afraid. I was afraid too. He started to swim really fast (I saw a commercial yesterday where a shark ate a girl. I kinda hate sharks. Thanks Spielberg).
      My vision shifted to first person. I was swimming and was dragged by a wave to the shore.
      It was a beautiful beach. It was sunny, hot and very real. I stood there watching for a second and i realized I was dreaming.
      I'm starting to realize that I tend to get Lucid every time the dream is more real or every time I just stop doing what I'm doing and just calm down a bit to look at things.
      A guy comes running and I go talk to him.
      I realize I haven't stabilize the dream yet. Everything seems stable but I stop and look at my hands anyway. They're normal size but glowing like that faggy vampires from twilight glow in the sunlight.
      There was a recent joke in a thread in another forum
      (non LD, music related) where someone posted this picture.

      I'm pretty sure this was the guy Anyway...
      I ask him if he knows anything about my dream guide. He kinda mumbles something and I completely ignore him.
      I turn around to the sea and when I turn again the guy was on his way running and another one exactly like him comes running towards me. It's too weird and I ignore both.
      I look towards the sea again and there is a lot of people there.
      I totally forgot the tasks I'm supposed to do. So I try to fly. There's no place were I can jump from so I try and levitate from the ground. I feel like a turtle stretching it's neck. I look around and there's a couple standing 1 meter above the ground completely still levitating. Don't know if they're mocking or trying to teach me.
      I levitate just a bit but fall immediately.
      I start walking. I recognize the beach as one near my hometown (SR). I look to my hands once more to stabilize even though I don't think I need it. I should do this more often.
      I literally don't know what to do.
      I recognize two sisters I've met before.
      We engage in stuff I'm not proud of...
      I know realize I'm starting to lose lucidity. I deserve it.
      I wake up soon after.

      I should have known better than to behave like a horny teen.

    14. Semi-lucids: Naked in the Snow/Free Falling

      by , 02-02-2015 at 06:14 PM
      I had two recent dreams that were almost lucid. Or maybe semi lucid. They were early on in the night so my memory about them is not as vivid. I remember acting like I was lucid but there was no 'Aha...I'm dreaming!" moment. Maybe I will write them up as lucid, but with the explanation here that I'm not entirely sure. I do know that I wasn't lucid enough to decide to do whatever I wanted. I pretty much went along with the existing dream.

      Dream 1:

      I was out in the snow with Jeff. I somehow knew that things weren't real (not sure if I knew I was dreaming or I had control over things). But I suddenly knew that the coldness of the snow wouldn't affect me. I took off my clothes and rolled around in the snow and made snow angels and enjoyed the feeling of the non-cold snow on my skin.


      Dream 2:

      I don't remember the beginning. At some point I knew I had control and could fly (again, not sure if I was completely lucid or not). I was with this guy. I don't remember who he was but we were supposed to be doing something together and he was not happy with me running off. I ran to this tall wall and started climbing it. It was several stories high. When I got to the top I stood there and just let myself fall backwards. When I hit the ground I got up and proceeded to climb the wall again and do the same thing. It seemed that the guy and other people were watching me in disbelief. I found that exciting and wanted to keep doing it.

    15. Goal Update

      by , 02-02-2015 at 05:36 PM
      goal was 45 dreams recalled and 5 lucids. Start date was 1/2, end date was 2/2.

      results: 31 dreams recalled
      3 lucid dreams


      I need to scale back my recall goal. Things were going really well at the outset of this tracking period, but really came off the rails for the last week or so. I think I have been too uptight and pushy with my practice. I will update goals in the next day or two.
