Journal Entry Lucid #73 Dream,Lucid, thoughts in dream,(Comments)
Background:All I wrote was that I listened to some audio by sleep.(Idk what that means either, dam past me)

Lucid Dream # 73, day: 08/19/14, time: 3:23-5:59 Am " "Dinosaur Abandoned Desert"":
I am walking in abandoned town in the desert. I am looking around noting the environment. I saw little lizards running across, some hiding in the sand. After looking around at the half destroyed buildings I realized it is a dreamI see ants maybe 2 inches long rush towards me. I am trying to stabilize the dream. I tried to rub hands together but I woke up .

I am watching some video. I am in dessert again. I quickly realized that it is a dream. I put hand in sand. It felt very realistic, I could feel the small grains falling down my hands. I look up and I see dinosaurs, a trex to be exact, and the one with three horns. The trex rushed towards me. I wanted to run but I told myself not to fear it. I turned around and acted like nothing is happening. I start to feel like I am waking up. I try to stabilize. I said to myself, "I will not wake up". I watched in 3rd person perspective, the trex killing the three horned dinosaur. It didn't want to eat it but it gauged its stomach to death leaving it to bleed to death. I see a temple and I start to go towards it. The trex cries, it looks at me. I see now it is more cartoonish, maybe 3d rendered

1. I had been sitting down in an odd looking classroom. The carpet was deep blue/black in color, and the walls were blue as well. As I sat down in my seat, I looked around and saw that everyone inside of the class was really young, maybe 10-11 years old. Suddenly a male teacher started giving out ice cream. Alot of kids got out of their seats and went to go get some ice cream. I watched as the teacher gave each kid one scoop of chocolate ice cream.
After I had observed this for a while and waited for the waiting line to go down, I decided I was going to get up and get myself some ice cream as well. Just as I got up, the male teacher stopped giving out ice cream and told everyone to sit down because the "lesson" was about to begin. A few other kids had gotten up out of their seats along with me, and when the teacher saw us he got angry and repeated his order for us to sit down. I became disappointed but nonetheless I went back to my seat.
I looked towards the middle of the class room and saw a medium sized stage. The teacher came up to this stage and told everyone that the show was about to begin. He then got behind a curtain and kneeled down and picked up 2 puppets. He put his hands inside of them and started putting on a puppet show. I watched out of curiosity. For no reason, I looked down at my lap. I saw that in my lap, there was a small plastic cup that was filled with what looked like white ice cream. I put my finger into it and then licked it. It wasn't ice cream at all, but instead, it was butter.
Somehow, I accidentally smeared some onto my pants that I was wearing. I could see the butter spread out on top of the threads of my jeans, and I didn't care at all.

2. I was inside of some kind of portable house, and it was all made of wood. Inside, the interior was all brown. The walls were made of brown wooden panels and the floor was covered in a layer of light brown carpet. I was chilling with my friend Patrick, Dylan, and a few others. As we sat down on a couch we talked about how Patrick wanted us to all live in his house for a year.
I then found out that this portable house was Patrick's. I looked to my left and saw my sister, and 7 other friends from real life. "Oh by the way, John is coming to live here too", Patrick told us. "Dude then we are going to have 8 people and its going to be really crowded", I said. I then thought for a moment and corrected myself, "Nevermind, my sister will be leaving soon so we will have enough room". Patrick acknowledged this positively.
Our friend John then walked in through the front door and we all greeted him. We told John about how everyone that was currently inside of this house was going to live here for a year. He seemed down for the idea and told us that he'd do it. Later on I remember that we were all getting ready to go to sleep. We each got an individual sleeping bag and lined them up next to each other. These sleeping bags were a deep blue like the night sky and had yellow stars on it.
I put my sleeping bag against the wall and everyone else put theirs next to me. I remember seeing my friend Dylan's brother Jordan putting his sleeping bag to the left of me and directly going to sleep. As I continued setting up my sleeping bag, Dylan's sister McKenzie came and put her sleeping bag directly to the right of me. I felt a little awkward at first but then relaxed. I started getting comfortable and saw that McKenzie was still setting up her sleeping bag. Everyone's sleeping bags were directly next to each other, there was no space in between.

3. I was outside at my neighborhoods play ground. It was dark outside and the moon shined brightly against everything. I remember walking up to the very top of the playground and standing there, just enjoying the view and relaxing. I looked down in front of me and saw an elderly lady. I then looked around myself and looked at the slides and everything in greater detail. One slide to the left of me was a dark green, another slide to my right was orange.
I continued chilling on top of the playground and down below me I saw a golden retriever and its owner. It walked towards the playground and looked up at me, and so did the dog's owner.

4. I was outside on some highway at night time. I remember running away from cops and at the same time, chasing other drivers. I had god-like powers and flew towards the people I was chasing. As I neared a white building, I landed on the ground. I walked inside and was met by a cute girl that looked like she was in her twenties. She had short black hair and had a noticeable amount of make-up on, but not in a bad way.
I remember talking to her about the people I was chasing. Suddenly she disappeared and I was left standing in the doorway of this building by myself. Out of no where my sister showed up behind me and we talked for a second. We took a step back from the doorway and talked about what was going on. While we were talking, some kind of small SAW looking demon showed up in the doorway.
He had all white eyes and they looked trippy. He stared at me and my sister. My sister was struck with terror, and I told her to calm down because there was no need to be afraid, this guy isn't doing anything to us. He continued standing in the doorway.

5. I remember seeing a girl and her dog. I petted her dog and played with it.

I am in a walled city that feels like Ba Sing Se (From ATLA) mixed with the city from Attack on Titan. (God help me for the name.) The city is supposedly a refuge for people who possess any type of magical or special power.

I am in a district of the city that has these tall cubic glass skyscrapers and all of these lighted signs written in an incomprehensible language. It looked to be one of the wealthier districts of the city.
I cannot recall much until these five kids show up. They are the villians; Supposedly each one of them has the power to turn into a monster that is representative of the world's greatest fears.
One monster is representative of the fear of spiders. It is a large humanoid with spider legs coming from its back. The entire monster is made of millions of spiders and held together with spider webbing. Also, for some reason, the monster has an oven in its chest that spiders come out of.
Another monster is representative of death and is represented by a hulking humanoid form that is made of a mass of bones.
Another monster is representative of the fear of becoming overweight (because I guess that ranks among the five greatest fears in the world) and is a huge grease blob.
I cannot recall what the remaining two monsters were. I think one of them had to do with bees.
Then Goku (Dragonball) and Soul&Maka(Soul Eater) show up. I think the guy from Onepeice was there too (Can't recall his name). There were many other characters there as well, all of them looked like heroes, but I cannot recall any more at this time. Goku is supposedly the captain of the city's defense force. He starts yelling orders to everyone on how to fight the monster.
Then I 'remembered' that I was a demon weapon too (Soul Eater) but I couldn't remember who wielded me. I just recall that I was some kind of sword or spear and somebody was using me. While I was in weapon form, I could still see, but everything was a dark blue color. Whoever was using me was fighting the spider monster.

Hi ever since I was 3 I have had dreams and I see other peoples deaths and they happen the next day.Then, Im also able to see just everyday things before they happen but forget until they do happen now I have been able to remember them more and more often.I also see ghost not as apparitions but as colored outlines instead like each color means something about that ghost I also scream very often in my dreams and my grandmother says I scream in my sleep and at random moments when I get thoughts that relate to my dreams.how do these things connect to each other and what do they mean am I like some weird psychic or a banshee or something I just want answers please help.

From what I recall:

Was sitting by the water with some people. I looked up into the sky and an airplane is writing something in the sky. I keep watching and then I realize it has written "I love you" with a love heart. I think it's cute and I go to take a photo with my camera because it was so well designed. I see some people in a air balloon in the sky drifting up maybe a wedding. Then I see a massive wooden tank driving across the sky. I start laughing and say what is that doing? Then beside me a massive truck starts driving up and down across the water. I say again how is that truck driving across the water what is it trying to do? And the girl next to me responds, it's driving across wodden planks. I say again why what's the point. We watch it drive out, i can see that it's not balancing well, again and the truck falls off it's pathway and splashes into the water completely. We react with a mixture of extreme amusment and shock and horror. It was like it wanted to crash. Then fire starts coming out of the water, and she says "it's blown up the water pipes". We start backing away to run, and someone sounds a trumpet and says "everyone evacuate, authorities have blown up the water supply. And I look and there is a massive fire spreading through the city and everyone is running around in complete chaos. Then I remember the message in the sky and thought it's from Angels letting me know that none of this is for me. The dream is becoming so chaotic and ridiculious that I almost become Lucid but wake up just before it happens. I dreamt a lot of other stuff but it has slipped my memory.

Hi guys, this morning I went back to bed after eating breakfast and it resulted in an LD.
I used the LD to test some things that I was discussing with other oneironauts in this thread.

1. For science!* (DILD)

I'm walking around in a city with my family, there are very wide plaza's everywhere and the sky is grey probably raining soon. We seem to be the only people her and decide to leave, then I remember we forgot a small dark bag at the place we just came from. As I tell them to go back I snap lucid and try Climbing up a small tower we just walked by. When I got up the tower/building I wanted my family to leave so they wouldn't distract me, I noticed the dream getting weaker so I shout "CLARITY!" which boosted the vividness of the dream. As I stood on the roof I thought of the thread on DV in which I discussed a possible new RC/inducer. Basicly opening or closing your ear-channels in the same way as when you yawn. I tried it several times but I didn't feel any change of pressure in my ears nor did I hear any pop or air. After probably 10 attempts I noticed a small yet sharp sting in my right ear so I decided to stop. I got back on the ground where suddenly my bed was, the dream was slowly falling apart and I tried stabilizing by hugging the side of the bed but it was too late and resulted in the following FA.

2. How late is it?

I wake up in my bed and I notice it's dark, after checking my alarm clock it shows 23:20 which confuses me slightly. I roll over and notice my father's old alarm clock between the two pillows on my bed, I don't think it showed a time but it did have a heart rate monitor. I tested my own heart which looked normal on the scan.

3. Mediëval sabotage

I'm looking down on a large mediëval city, I hear someone suddenly tell me sabotage is going on after which my view is focused on a large soap-factory. Then I get a warning and see a person sneak into my house somewhere in the city, it looks like he wants to sabotage my house now. Then I'm in a barn and see the person walking in, another person waits for him behind a door and begins throwing tomatoes at him. The thief tries to get on the second floor of the barn but can't reach it because of the constant impacts of the tomatoes against him.

I became lucid in this dream, but then did not wake up and transitioned into the next period of sleep. I have a very vague recollection of events:

I am on a boardwalk above(?) or on top of(?) a building. I nose pinchand can breathe. I now proceed to continue with the dream plot (I think) though I do phase through a wall. My hand is having difficulties phasing through, so I phase my head through first, and the rest of my body absorbs easily through the wall.

And that's about it. Recall has not been stellar this week due to lack of sleep and overall large changes to sleep schedule. Lucidity has been sporadic but overall occurring every 3-4 days. Hoping for some schedule stability soon, as well as a return to my previous induction rate and recall. Looking forward to tonight

#355 - DILD - Time unknown

This is lucid from Thursday night/ Friday morning is one of those that I lost lucidity in and didn't wake up right away. I was extremely lucky to remember this.

I am at work. Someone from a friendship that ended badly shows up. A co-worker starts freaking out telling me he is here. I shush and telling not to worry and don't even fucking care anymore. I just act normal and do my thing. Then the ex-friend starts talking to my brother. None of this makes sense and I remember that I was trying to WILD. This sends me into a fake transition and I just get out of bed. I am in a mixture of my current house and the childhood house. I feel some mild fear as I exit the house.

I recall my Hogwarts goal, fly there in a car and summon a Patronus. There are two cars in the street. One looks like the one from my last lucid and the other is a grey truck with red pinstripes and looks like and old Ford Ranger or S10. The driver side door is open and the dome light lights the night. I hop in and try to start it with a pretend key but the engine have a hard time turning over. Knowing this is a dream, I push the gas anyway expecting it to drive. The truck obeys and I speed down the street engine roaring. After a few seconds I pull up on the wheel and raise to a low altitude flight. I veer in the direction of the university and look around. I see a few street lights and dark tree tops. I realize that I haven't set a visual base for flying to Hogwarts. I have no land marks and the darkness overcomes me.

I focus on lucidity as I peer into the black. I see a bright light then a scene forming. I try to hold on and wait but thats all I can recall.

Much later I wake from this dream:

I am playing dodge ball in some underground facility that looks like a laser tag set-up. Our dodge balls look like they are hard, heavy sponges soaked in a light gray paint. A tough looking old man throws a ball at me and it bounces and rolls in front of me. I scoop it up and he yells, "Out!" I spend some time arguing that I am not out because it hit the floor first. After some time I give up diplomacy and start pelting him with balls as hard as I can. Then I find some cantaloupes and start hitting him with those.

Just the one bit of a dream.

I was staring at a wall with a poster on it. the poster was all aboot mountains. Right at the top there was a mountain from Indonesia which it said had only been climbed the once. I looked for Everest and it had been climbed 3110 times. I remarked to my wife (who was behindme) that pople should climb mountains that have hardly ever been climbed.

Further doon the poster was a bit on English 'mountains'. It said Scafell Pike was made safe in 1931. It also listed some other 'peaks' in England some were the dizzy heights of 800 feet!

There's this pair of vampires in an apartment, a young white girl and a tall black man, and today slavery has officially ended. There's celebrations in the street, fireworks. But the sense of time's a bit off - although the vampires and the apartment look like the 1800s, at some point in the conversation it's mentioned that this is 1933, and the view outside the window looks it. The girl turned him a long time ago and they've been traveling together since. It's been a good deal for both of them - since she looks like a kid, she needed someone who looks like an adult to get by in the world; and under slavery, he needed someone to pretend to belong to. Now that's over, he intends to leave. The kid was surprised by this, hadn't expected it at all - they're close, it's not just a convenient arrangement for survival, so it hadn't occurred to her that he'd want to be on his own if he could. They went straight from celebrating to fighting.

He's saying, "You don't think I prefer another kind of life for-" I'm not certain which pronoun he used then - I wrote it down as 'you', and I think he'd been talking about his concern for her at this point, but she responds as if he'd said 'myself.' She went cold and distant before answering. By another kind of life, he'd meant as opposed to vampirism, and she doesn't take that well. So after a long pause, she says, "But you've got mine."

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

I'm Howl, a version with black feathers cropping up - a patch of it at my throat at all times, and mixed in with my hair - speaking English throughout the scene, but no Welsh accent. I speak very mildly and seem distant - it's an affectation, particularly when I'm annoyed, and at the moment I'm very annoyed.

Sophie got fed up with me and left after a day or so in the castle. But now my spells have alerted me that she's back in town - just sitting there, inexplicably, not coming home. I'm seeing an image of her sitting down on a low stone wall somewhere, grumbling to herself. Since she's gone to the trouble of coming back to town, we both know she'll be back at my door eventually, she's got nowhere else to go - I'm convinced she's just refusing to come back now out of sheer stubbornness. So I spell her back, have the winds scoop her up and carry her through town, into the house, and drop her in a chair at the table. She complains about this of course, but now that I see her up close, it occurs to me that possibly she couldn't physically walk back to the house - she looks tired and sore.

I'd been in the middle of making dinner when she turned up, and I bring her a plate while she complains at me. Talking about dinner and ridiculous stubbornness, at some point I compare her to my brothers, and she looks aghast at the thought of me having brothers. Did she think I sprang from the ether? "Monstrous. How many of you are there?" I have quite a few brothers actually. Our mother's immortal, like myself - I've visited her just recently as a matter of fact. Sophie says, "You're like rats in a field."

When someone characterizes me as a monster, my habitual response is to prove them right, so I'm leaning into her from across the table in a way that's not physically humanly possible. "Our father's place is human," I say, very mildly. And in response to something else I know she'd been wondering about, I add, "And I'm a married man." I retract back to my side of the table. The point there was less a reference to my wife, who's out of the picture, and more a reference to the existence of my son, confirming that the boy whose pictures she'd been looking at earlier is my son.

(Woke up. Side note: It's been ages since I've had a Howl dream, so when I saw the HMC task of the month I'd hoped it would spark something like this. Success! Not a success at the TOTM of course - this wasn't the task, or lucid at all - but a non-lucid dream with the plot I wanted is even better.)

And a quick dream from yesterday: As Rumpelstiltskin, I'd been following someone who'd stolen something from me. I used a spell to keep the light from falling on me, and then another for shadows to hide me. Then I'd walked myself off the road and left my body hidden among the fallen leaves while the rest of me went on. Finally I tried some spell that failed - I lit up with golden light from within with the effort of it, shining through the lines in my skin, but I was unable to succeed. Giving up for now, I call Belle. She asks, "What has (some name) got on you that-" I interrupt her. "My dagger." She goes silent. It's not the thing they stole at this moment, and they don't know how to use it, but they have it; they're a threat to be taken seriously.

I'm wondering to what extent the character I identify as "me" in a dream is sometimes not really me, but something more like a video game NPC (non-player-character), or better, like the player's character in a VG, but during a cut-scene, where the character does things and the player has no control. Anyway, here's the full version:

I'm in a studio apartment with my wife (we actually live in a house). There is a person who we know, and make plans for her tom come over the next day. But when this person came over, my wife was really tired and wanted to sleep instead. So she took a nap. The guest came over and I wanted to convince her to come back another time, but I didn't want to be rude. Then 2 of her friends came over, and I was trying to keep them quiet. They ere on a back patio behind a glass door.

Then, I had to go to the bathroom in the dream. Good news!! This is a DS, and I've been RCing every time I go to the bathroom IRL. And I've been making a point of RCing seriously. I do at least 3 things each time (read text/look at clocks, try to breath with nose plugged, and at least 1 more depending on what is around). I take it really seriously, because I don't want to get into a dream and half-ass the RC.

But that is exactly what happened. It was a totally weak RC unlike anything I'd do IRL. More on this in a second.

The dream continued with my wife waking up, and asking me who these people were. She then remembered that we invited one of them over. I asked her if she was OK to hang out. She said yes, and so she got up. We got ready to make some snacks for the guests. That's when I woke up.

OK, here's the thing. The way that the RC was done in my dream was completely unlike the way I do it IRL. It was kind of frustrated initially when I woke up because of the failed RC. What was frustrating is that the decision making that "I" was doing really wasn't like me at all. It is making me wonder to what extent, in some dreams at least, or maybe in all dreams at some times, there is a character that we identify as ourselves, but isn't really us. This character is more like a DC, or a video game NPC (non-player character).

Then I realized that the best analogy is a video game cut scene. In video games usually the player controls their character. But from time to time there are "cut scenes" where the player has no control. Some event happens but is pre-scripted. That's what the RC felt like. Whatever is 'me' wasn't really controlling that.

Anyway, apart from questions about what makes something oneself, as opposed to someone else, aside, I decided not to get too frustrated by it. The good news is that I recognized a DS in a dream, and performed an RC. So what I'm doing during the day is having the right effect. Just need to do what I can to ensure that the next time it happens the RC actually tips me off.

Just started to record my dream journals again, lets hope I keep this up.

I just had one large dream last night, it started at a place I have dreamt before. It was kind of a big castle where you could get innertubes and go into big groups with a giant lake below it. You could descend unto this gateway ramp that would lead you straight into the river. Most of my family was there and also some of my friends. Apparentlly we had just finished something and my friend and I wanted to go innertubing but I told my friend maybe next time because we were heading to go do something else. I do remember from the last dream that the place was a ton of fun, maybe I will have to try it out in my next lucid.

Anyways the next place we went to was a huge banquet room and we were eating a meal. Towards the end of the meal there was some game we were playing with a red button that flashed at each persons table and when you pressed it someone else had to answer a question. My uncle pressed the button and someone else far away had to answer a question, then somehow I guess the game was rigged and my uncle had to answer the next question. He said something sarcastic about Barack Obama (even though in real life he is pretty liberal) and everyone in the banquet laughed and I felt kind of bad for him. Then after the meal was over we went outside and someone in my family told me two guys wanted to talk to me about a prosecution or something. They said "and we will be investigating" and so I said investigating what? they would not respond and talked about something else then left.

At this point I went back to the room at the table where to help the man clean up from the meal, but I saw that he had it under control. I then realized I was naked and looked for a towel to wrap around myself but there was none. So I just decided there was nothing I could do so I just did not conceal myself whatsoever and walked proudly (lol) through the hall, the rest of the area looked like a movie theatre and not that many people actually saw me until I walked to the nearest bathroom, where as I was walking into the bathroom a cleaning lady (who was rather attractive for a cleaning lady) told me I should be dressed lol, and I went into the bathroom and found a towel. I don't think I remember much after that.

Okay so two nights ago I a very short lucid dream. I all recall is becoming lucid, trying to do something, having a false awakening, and then becoming lucid again, and then having another false awakening and then waking up. I think I'm only going to count this as one lucid dream, because I never actually woke up.

I used MILD, as I fell asleep I saw green floating shapes and, I repeated "I am Lucid." over and over. I only got one lucid which was this and it was a epic expierence.
I walk into the kitchen in the kitchen which is from my house of course I see a clock. I didn't know what it said but I blink and, it is now +1 minute all of the sudden the clocks minutes go up really really fast I didn't know what was going on the clock -2 Hours. I was suppisous so I look at my hands and have more than 5 fingers...I realize i'm dreaming and, I get excited as I walk into my living room thinking about what to do I think 'I'm post to stay calm.' I calm down...then my eyes close and I wake up. I wake up, I tried to think about what just happened. I perform nose RC and look at my hands and they are normal this expierence was really intense.
(My past "Lucids" in my Dream Journal are all dreams I dreamt about being Lucid. This one for sure is Lucid It felt surreal.)

Dream - Lucid

I was watching someone play a harder version of Super Mario 64. He was talking as he was playing.
