Dream recall from today's WBTB/nap.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was in some game that i thought i've played before, it was fps and i was going through a bunch of brown futuristic halls, fighting enemies. Then i reach a room where i remember about cannon weapon from serious sam series, i remember that there's hidden way to get it in the room using some mechanisms.After a while of looking around i realize that i am dreaming, but i am still curious about that cannon(Low awareness), i easily lift two mechanisms and they combine together into some weird metallic contraption, but with no more effect, then i remember my goals but dream fades out.

Dream 2(fragments):

There was something about a chase that woken up a dragon, then i was in my room talking to someone about some console game which had more realistic sun than an actual sun.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was going through various places.

Dream 1(fragment):

Something about hearthstone.

Dream 2(fragments):

Was playing some game with weapon crafting/upgrade.

Dream 1 : [COLOR="#800080"]Dreamt I was outside my school and there were some guardians making sure nobody is entering. My dog was trapped in there for some reason so I sneaked in to help her get out. There was this weird over-weight woman with afro hair who wanted to keep my dog. The real thing started to turn into a video game in which I was playing the dog. She kept running and kept shapeshifting into a medieval looking woman. There were some girls who were really jealous of her hair. She kept running and running till we got into a hall. She got her original shape back and I told her to wait me in there because I wanted to see what's happening in the room next to us. I got in the room(It looked like a cinema) and looked around. I saw the weird woman and a girl next to her that looked like her slave. I was trying to hide myself till I got bored and showed myself to her. She said : What are you doing here? Where's the dog? The dog then came in and laughed... She wanted to run after us but she tripped and fell while me and my dog kept doing it to get out of the castle(Or whatever it was)[/COLOR]

Dream 2 : [COLOR="#800080"]It was night and I was on a boat with a random DC. We kept talking about stuff till she decided to bite me. I was really happy because of that. The dream skips somewhere near a big rock which looked like it was about to fall. I was talking with some random vampires from there and one of them brought a human so we can make fun of it. They tried to teach me what I should do with a human and all. Then the girl who was really hungry grabbed the human by it's hand. Nobody noticed it except me, so I followed her. She then saw me and asked me if I wanted to join the fun. I was like : What fun? then I got in there and the vampire wanted to bite it. She asked me if she should drink her blood or make her a vampire. I shrug then she keeps touching it's neck till she decides to bite it's... shoulder. She made it a vampire. I told her : Why did you made her a vampire? Now all of us are vampires, It's not funny anymore. After saying that, I leave and the dream ends.[/COLOR]

Dream:
This was the last three dreams - and so I have very good recall without having written much.
It started at a festivity where the people having finished school with me met - but there were other people too - like a friend of mine from university.
Somehow, I hadn´t managed to dress up for the occasion and wasn´t "styled" in any way - but the others were looking fantastic.
So - wasn´t that bad, but when that friend of mine wanted to go to some sort of vip party afterwards - a friend of hers, whom I didn´t know, wanted to keep me away from that.

So then something happened which is unusual for my dreams - usually I would have tried and not managed to go with them, or went, looking horrible or whatever.

What would not have happened would have been me getting what I wanted - namely making my friend drop that bitch, she brought with her, and take me home with her to give me a really nice evening dress and her make-up and perfume and whatnot and chastised the doorwoman for not instantly letting me in there too. Lovely friend in real life - but ex-model and always soo beautiful..

Anyway - in we were and it was like in a high-society movie.
Great party - later it had somehow changed scenery to a garden in the morning.
...edited ..
Awake: 9:30 am
Vividness: (scale of 1-15, 10 is waking life vividness) 12/13
Awareness: (1-10; or lucid) 9 non lucid
Length: (how long it felt like! Because that matters) Dream in 3 parts - twice reentry because it was soo nice - all in all maybe story over 2/3 days
Emotions: Weeell.. right - for the sake of analysis: started with feeling inferior, ugly, awkward - went to self-satisfied, radiant, attractive and confident, then totally smitten, in love, satisfied, hopeful and even sort of calmly confident for what would come, liberated

Dream Signs: People from school, university - the garden party was for some reason in our old garden of the house I lived in my youth (that´s a strong recurring sign, the house+garden)


Conclusions - Overview:

First of all - it is so great, that the journalling and general aim of lucidity and gaining dream-control spills over into my normal dreams and makes them so much more satisfying - amazing!!

Secondly - got to work on readable notes in between dreams.
First dream, after which I woke up got lost because of indecipherable nonsensical scribblings - except the dart-board snippet, which I posted next door - that I can remember vividly.

Then - realization, that I actually always was and am able to re-enter a dream after waking up.

Lucidity:
I did my mantras and expectation-rising for DILD, but looking back - the real inner plan was more to do a WILD attempt after the first inter-dream awakening.
I had talked to my hubby - finding out to my surprise that he had sometimes what seems to be called EHS - extremely loud noises from inside his head while falling asleep - and he hates it with a passion.
Told him excitedly to ride it out next time and try to WILD himself.

But - just like before several times - I felt tired and lazy and unwilling to try the WILD when the time for it was there - thinking - ah I will wake up once or twice more anyway.
Which I did - with even less motivation - see dream-content..

This is so silly - I know, it would have been easy to at least get that far as last time once more - that only took like 2 min. lying still and vibrations and optics came.

I was with one of my friend with brown hair. We were walking around on the sidewalk at one point, her in front of me with her head turned to look at me. She was teaching me three different things, and I feel like they had something to do with calmness.

This dream was about some young man involved in revolutionary politics, but he had trouble accessing a log, and that needed to be troubleshot, because it might have negative impact on the revolution?

My husband was at home. he's just returned from work. i was happy and washed dishes. something was wrong with the lamp - it gave so little light, that i couldn't wash dishes. i thought that it might be a dream - count fingers, tried to remember TOTM, but couldn't. I decided to go to real, but had so little will,that couldn't. I thought - if i cannot make TOTM or exit, i can have a good time with DC of my husband. I took ihim and flew with him a bit, i imagined, that when i touch him he can fly too. I woke up soon.

My first dream was boring. I dreamed I was at work and hadn't taken my lunch at the time I was supposed to (I was an hour late going to lunch because I got caught up working on something) and my manager was mad at me.

My second dream was more interesting:

I dreamed I was at Disneyland. I was staying in a hotel building that was white and faux "plantation style". I was on the 2nd floor. The layout was weird because the kitchen was split in half, and part of it was outside on part of the balcony.

Anyway, it was also a first person shooter. I was trying to get out of the hotel room and sneak past Snake and Patrick Stewart, who were armed with laser rifles. I accomplished this by crouching, going out onto the balcony, leaping off, and hiding in a large stand of trees. Unfortunately, a patrol of enemies led by a woman in a strapless top (it was red and looked like part of a ball gown) and camo pants killed me because I used my own laser rifle (which, by the way, I thought was pretty awesome) to shoot the wrong mook. It also drew the attention of Snake and Patrick Stewart. Game over.

I restarted, but forgot to crouch when leaping off the balcony, and got shot.

I restarted again. This time, I crouched as I lept off the balcony, made it, hid in the trees, shot the woman in the camo pants, and completed the level by making it to an opera house/ballroom. It was a large, French-looking manor-like building with a moat and fountains.

Anyway, now it turned into sort of a minigame. I had to collect cartoon pigs and store them in the ballroom. I also had to collect food from various plants around the hotel and either store them in the fridge or use them to fill my Hunger bar.

I felt semi-lucid toward the end, but my alarm went off.

Review
Dream clues: Pretty much everything. If I had to pick one thing, though, I'd say the ability to "replay" reality was a pretty big one (and a potential bridge to lucidity).

Woke up in the morning .. Lied back to bed and could feel vibration in the lower portion of body (i.e. my legs )

I wanted to do Lucid Dreaming/AP .... So closed my eyes and wait for it ..
After a while it didn't happen but just soft vibration so I forced it ...

I looked up in the void of my closing eyes , tried to find a spot to concentrate on .. Here it was ... somehow like a fingerprint in white , a point of focus (I thought that was my third eye's point of focus ) ... focusing on it ... and here it went ... I saw somehow like a spiral that sucked me into it ... and I saw dream scene began to form in front of my eyes ... Here I was ..... in my room again

Today it was better than yesterday or the day before .. I did lucid 3 times today , all ended up in somehow the same scene ... In one lucid I even looked at my hand , it didn't look like my real hand , a different shape .... then I tried using index finger to put thru it but I could not put thru it but I could see somehow gave me a funny feeling ... I laughed and flied outside the windows . It looked a much better scene , brighter scene than those lucid I'd been having those days .......... Flew outside and flew around the buildings , in 2nd or 3rd dreams I wanted to "stableize" it so I rubbed my hands together ... But the problem I am now facing is that I can't hold long in the lucid dream .. I always forced back to the body and I don't know why how to improve it .. maybe look up some articles here in DV

This is my first DILD experience that I can recall. All my others have been through SP.

I was sitting in my bed and had just opened up a book on lucid dreaming that I've had sitting on my shelf for awhile. I got maybe a page and a half into the book before I fell asleep....
I don't remember the regular dream part much, I was standing on a train platform and I realized that some facts didn't add up. Don't know what now, but it was enough for me to realize I was dreaming and I thought to myself " I COULD wake up now, but I don't really have to" So I began Lucidity and started to walk around a bit, I was in a deserted city street. It wasn't eerie or frightening in any way, just empty. I decided to get a better view and I jumped up and slowly floated above the city and into the clouds, and immediately decided I'd rather just walk around instead. On my way down through the clouds I caught a glimpse of a man walking by in the clouds below me, dressed in a black suit. I thought to myself that he might be another lucid dreamer and that we're all connected on this different plane of consciousness, and then I thought, maybe he had died and was on this level and that all consciousness is different that we normally believe it to be. But then I got closer to the ground and wasn't thinking about the man in black anymore. I was waiting to feel my feet hit the ground but they wouldn't, I was just hovering. I saw an Ipad Air next to me (hooray for random product placement in dreams) and picked it up and there was writing all over it and it turned into pages of paper and I felt them in my hands. I looked up from the pages and at my surroundings; I thought "how boring am I that I just want to stand here and read papers instead of exploring" ...

Thats when my father opened by door and walked in my room. And I was so mad that he woke me from my LD , I was still half sleeping and wasn't able to open my eyes completely but as he walked over to my bed and sat next to my computer i was able to mumble "get out, i'm asleep, leave me alone".. And he got up and left. i never saw his face. And suddenly I let in a huge gulp of air and startled myself fully awake. So I go downstairs to apologize to my dad for being rude to him... and no one was home. AT ALL!

needless to say I walked around the house with a knife and opened every closet while on the phone freaking out to a friend.

Could it be that the mysterious stranger followed me out of my LD?

I've heard of SP monsters following people from SP to LD but not the other way around! I have had other similar encounters where I've gone into SP and my hallucinations were totally boring and simply that people walked into my room to ask me a question, or came in to grab something. But I've never come OUT of a lucid dream and into Sleep Paralysis without having SP in the first place.

Ive recently watched a movie about the area I live in and all the paranormal things that happen here. I think that added to my freak out.

I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, but If anyone happens to see this and has knowledge about SP after lucid dreams or mysterious beings following you out of dreams please fill me in!

I remember sneaking up to several houses and doing the same thing, I would slowly go up to the window and peak in to see if anybody is in the kitchen or in the field of vision, then my friend would get into the house (Not sure how) and silently walk throughout the house but I can't remember what we would do in there, after a while we would leave and go on to the next house. We did this for a while until some woman came out, -Missing- we get into her car and we drive off. -missing-
I am in a jet and am being chased or chasing another jet, something happens to my jet and I am floating in the rubble of it.
(This dream was very scattered)

-Throughout the night I remember seeing my old best friend who I haven't seen in years-

I was about to do another one of my check in entries, but then, I blinked as I was about to press "post" and saw an image of a forest. It made me recall the dream that I had last night.

So I was in some kind of park/nature preserve area. It was quite expansive and had a number of meadows and forests. The forests were lush and there were a number of large oak trees. The meadows were full of tall grass.
Anyways, I was walking along some path, the path ran around the edge of a meadow, with perfect row of oak trees on the side toward the meadow. All of the trees seemed to be exactly the same. The opposite side of the path, that led into the forest and had a more random arrangement and distribution of trees.
While I was walking, a number of dream characters approached me. Some of them were family members, and another Lia. (My dream guide for those of you who do not regularly read my DJ.) Still others were complete strangers. I think I walked-and-talked with about 8 people in total. I can't remember about what.
I can remember one of the dream characters had a sword. It looked like a Minecraft sword but it was made out of real metal and actually looked like a sword from real life. But it was meant to look like a sword out of Minecraft. I do remember that whatever dream character had that sword was sort of showing it off to me. They ran their hand up and down the blade some. I can't remember what dream character this was, but I do believe that they said I was not worthy to have this sword. (Okay, whatever.)
I got to the end of the trail that was at the top of a small hill. Half the hill was covered by forest, half by meadow. And, there were two water slides that ran down the hill. (Random). There was some man there and he told me about how he put these water slides there to make money and attract people to the nature park. I couldn't help but think that the hill wasn't very large or steep, and there didn't really seem to be anyone going on the slides.

Very strange LD. I woke up at 645. I did my normal morning routine and then took a power nap at 810 to catch a REM cycle. I then went to class. I got back around 1115. I laid down for a nap at 1130. I woke up once or twice between 1130 and 1230. Then I had this WILD. I'll call it WILD because I don't think it was a DILD and went the way most of my WILDs go, where I just accept that I'm dreaming and then participate in the dream.
It was a zero-awareness LD. I was in a castle type of thing as if in a video game with a bunch of guys from my hall and some girls we hang with. Gravity was defective and jumping and floating around was fun. Then we went outside. I had seemed to know I was dreaming the whole time, but I did no RC's, no stabilization and did not change the plot of the dream at all. When we got outside we had to fight a buch of strange super heroes that had been explained earlier in the dream. I recognized them, but they were not real superheroes. I was fighting, but most of the group was afraid to come help me. I went back and yelled at them that they were all dreaming. A few of them picked it up and began to help me fight.

I remembered four-five dreams this morning, but I was way too tired to write them down and fell asleep for twenty minutes more. When I woke up again, I only remembered part of one dream, where one of my bottom teeth came loose. Creepy as hell.

Goal now: write things down! too annoying.

Bought a new watch with hourly alarm. Helps me doing checks. Watches are a great tool for me because I'm addicted to them and there is more or less always one on my arm both in real life and dreams. I only wear digital watches now and they have given me my first two lucids!

I'm going to get more.

I remember a dream from long ago where i was Lucid but never even heard of Lucid Dreaming before.
I was in school and I was daydreaming in class about doing magic or something.
I felt my hands Electrifying and saw purple thunder come out at the palms of my hands .
I tried to tell my friends that I could do magic, they wouldn't believe me.
I believe I was at a lower layer of Lucidity, that's why my friends or Dream Characters didn't believe me.
I showed them my thunder and they were all surprised and then i woke up right after that.
