A fairly sparse night, but I'm not complaining because it produced LD#4 (albeit a very short dream) Woke 4.40 AM. (no earlier dreams) Had a coffee, did some work on my DJ and various other things then did WBTB at 5.55 AM. I woke up some time later feeling ill. As I've said before there isn't any dizzyness, nausea, temperature, pounding heartbeat or anything Like that...I just feel "ill" and it soon goes away. But it stops me from trying to remember the dream that I've presumably woken from. I went back to sleep. 7.20 AM I don't remember much of the dream...only the latter half where I was apparently walking home from work (DS) through a very rubble-strewn tunnel and I was carrying a briefcase. What I apparently took to be a "technician" (DS) made some derogatory comments to me (about my age I think) I responded angrily (DS) then went to carry on walking but I couldn't find my briefcase. (DS - lost items is a very strong DS for me...that's what triggered DS#1) I remember making the connection "Lost? That's a dream sign"...and, for the first time, I actually did a Reality Check and pinched my nose. I did it several times. At first I wasn't sure then it became obvious. I decided to then try the thumb through the palm RC (I've been waiting to do that) but as I started to....I woke up I tried to DIELD but nothing happened and it felt like I'd run out of REM (I can sense when REM cycles are upon me) I tried to go back to sleep but now I'm analysing the dream and trying to remember more so I got up and made another coffee and did a short WBTB. Although coffee doesn't seem to hinder me (and may even enhance my dreams) I'd had a large coffee and I was a bit wired. But I eventually went back to sleep. 8.20 In a (lift?) in a workplace (DS) with some work colleagues (DS) This (lift) was the size of a warehouse and a large tractor unit drove through the (ridiculously-small for a truck that size) door (DS=bizarre) he had to make several adjustments before he finally got the vehicle completely inside Conclusions. I definitely need more work on dream recall because I seem to miss too many "front" parts of dreams I've stopped taking beetroot extract tablets so I hope that I don't get diminishing recall or I'll have to buy some more. We'll see. Re the "illness" and my apparent sensitivity to the onset or end of REM...I'm going to ask questions on the main forum...and definitely think hard about DEILD I take heart from the fact that my 4 LD's have all been within the last 39 days...even at that rate that's about 36 Ld's a year...and it's gonna get a whole lot better!"
I've been lazy recording my dreams so I may as well catch up now. I've been listening to the Inception soundtrack, which has inspired me! A couple a days ago I had my longest dream I've had for a while, unfortunately its been a few days so I've probably lost some details. I remember going to my local paintball course and finding out that they had new paintball guns. These guns could hold a much larger amount of ammo, but we were not allowed to take any extra ammo onto the field when we used them. I fired off a few shots from the edge of the course to test it. It looked and felt just like the regular guns. There were only a few people with me at the time. None of my usual paintballing friends were there. Later on... Something was happening. I think I was in a house. I remember thinking "This is probably a dream." That caused me to pause and realised that this was definitely a dream! When I became lucid I was standing in the laundry of the house I was in. At this point I paused to take in the incredible clarity of the surroundings. I'm usually bad at maintaining lucidity, so I tried to engage my dream senses as much as possible. This seemed to solidify the dream, but I was still scared to close my eyes in case I lost the dream. This wouldn't be a problem for most people, but my most reliable way of teleporting in dreams is to place a portal on a wall and travel through it to my destination. I can only seem to do this with my eyes closed, hence my dilemma. Instead, I decided to try a few other tricks that I have heard about. I had a look in the laundry cupboards to see if I could find anything awesome to help me teleport. Unfortunately I only found normal laundry stuff. Another technique I have heard is to reach into your pocket and pull out a button. The button is then able to do anything that you want. I tried reaching into my pocket, but again had no luck. By this point I was getting annoyed at my complete lack of dream powers. Not too much later I woke up. I'm pretty sure I woke up into another dream, as in the morning I had nearly forgotten that lucid. Last night: I had a few dreams, but this one is the most clear as I was still having it when I woke up. I was at a beach with a few of my friends. We found a place just behind some sand dunes to chill and hang out at. Much later I returned to the beach with my friends (I think they were still the same ones). We tried to find the same spot behind the dunes, but the tide had come in a lot. We found the spot, but now we had to wade through water to get there. We climbed through a tunnel in the sand dune to get there. I ended up climbing into a sand-dune-cave (which was not what we were at before). One other person climbed in too. It was very cramped (you had to crawl to fit in) and we were unlikely to fit anyone else in there. I saw a small snake in the cave. It started moving towards me. I told the other person in the cave to get out of the cave, as I couldn't get out while they we still in there. Then the snake then crawled into my pants. It looked like a diamond python, but I didn't want to take any chances. I slowly and carefully crawled out off the cave so that I didn't disturb the snake in my pants. When I crawled out of the cave I was back in my room at home. I got the snake out of my pants and threw it on the floor. The snake grew to about 50cm and turned into a rattle snake. I was unsure what to do about the snake in my room. Someone (who was also in my house), told me I should just take the snake outside and kill it. I didn't want to try that as I was concerned that the snake was deadly. The person grabbed a shovel and killed the snake in my room. I was happy that the snake was finally dead. I think the person then asked if I had any more snakes in my room. I said I didn't think so, but they had a look any way. As they looked at the foot of my bed a huge (at least 3m) yellow-bellied black snake reared out from under some boxes at the foot of my bed. The person leapt back in surprise and started fighting the snake. At this point I woke up. For the next 10 or 15 mins I kept checking behind my back for snakes, even though I knew I was awake!
Some kids from school and I were messing with some weird bug thing.
Last night I had a ton of false awakenings, and a lot of them involved math homework that I had forgotten to do IRL the before I went to sleep and me scrambling to get it done in study hall before class. So the first time I remember I was in the car and one of my parents was driving (although I usually drive myself to school). Anyways, then I can remember frantically scrambling to get my homework done in the car. I can even remember what the problems were! I had to do like, 20 problems involving dividing polynomials. This was the only dream I vividly remember, however as the morning proceeded I kept having all of these false awakenings where I was really nervous about going to school since my homework wasn't done. It was like repeating the horrible waking up process to go to school OVER AND OVER. I am already not a morning person, and this certainly didn't help. It almost felt like a relief when I finally ACTUALLY woke up... until the moment where you get out of the shower and it's 6 AM and you are freezing, and realize you have to go to school for 9 hours and... yuck... Anyways ya... that's it from last night. See ya
14.10.2013Hidden base and teleporting. (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID There was a huge undreground base that only could be accesed through a small hatchet. It appears that there was a huge mall underneath and my mom was in charge of the whole thing. As I went down, they were closing up and I saw some friends from my high school times. They were somehow making fun of me because the whole event ended, and I felt upset with my mom about it. I then left and met with a friend and started to teach him how to teleport, but I would fail the two first attempts. On the third one, I would teleport with some friends who I used to play mtg with. I wanted to share with them some of my psychic abilities, my development, etc but since they are Christian I hesitated to, as I was tired to being called devilish. I then saw my dad and shared with him some stuff about the Astral Realm.
14.10.2013Mafia at the mall. (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was in some sort of mall that had a convention center. The walls were pale yellow and the mall did not appear to be in a very good shape. It seems there was some sort of mafia thing going on, something related with very powerful sport cars. They had a private room where they had some cars displayed and I started to pick in opening the door from one of the edges. I wondered if I was getting so involved that the security guys would go after me. Suddenly, the cops arrived and the door opened abruptly. I thought if I just stayed at the door the would say nothing to me, but it was not the case, they were walking at me. One guy, heavy and strong build with a gray jacket, black tie, hat and sunglasses was approaching at me. I started to walk away like if nothing happened, but he chased after me until I woke up.
14.10.2013Lots of orders at fiverr. (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I went to my computer and updated the Fiverr site. I had a ton of orders such as $100 Tarot Readings, $80 orders and lots of small orders. Most of these they bought the rush feature. I felt overwhelmed due the huge and suddedn workload.
13.10.2013Fragments 11-13 (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Something involving a hotel and my dad. Running raid 135 in Atlantica. Went to home, wife there.
12.10.2013Fragment - lost cat (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was in a park with friends. My cat got lost and we all were looking for her.
In this dream today is my birthday (it's actually next week). I "wake up" and I am in a house that has wooden floors. There are pieces of ribbon scattered about the floor in all different colors. I see my cat Luna but she looks different. Her hair has been styled and cut, but it looks cute. I actually really like it. Apparently I have a pet rabbit too. It hops across the floor next to me. Ray is in the house with me. He tells me to grab a leash...and then we decide to head out. He leaves really fast and I forget the leash....I'm not sure why I needed it or for what animal it was for so I chase after him. I tell him I forgot the leash and he rolls his eyes at me. "Well..." I say, "What did you want me to bring, the cat or the rabbit?" He doesn't respond. "I SAID, what did you want me to bring?" I start getting louder, "HELLO?! Answer me! The cat or the rabbit?" People start staring at us...but I really couldn't care less. I just repeat myself over and over.... Until I realize that this situation makes no sense at all. I become lucid. "This is a dream! You know what SCREW YOU! I'm leaving!" I walk away from him and come to a market. There is a lady in a booth selling pizza. "I'd like one slice of pizza please. And if you can please hurry, I won't be here much longer. I can tell I am going to wake up soon." I say. I realize I don't have any money and then visualize a dollar in my pocket. Sure enough, when i reach in I can feel a dollar in there. I hand it to her. I look around and people are celebrating something in history having to do with the civil war. Everyone is dressed up in old clothing doing reenactments.A different younger girl pulls me away from the booth by my hand. Then the dream ends.
Auto-hypnotic suggestion is almost as good as any other recall technique for me. Showing up at Dream Views and reading a few dreams has numerous times helped my recall and lucidity. Last night, I also woke up for about an hour partly due to lower back pain. The dream was very realistic, but I wouldn't say hyper realistic. I've only experienced a handful of dreams I consider to be hyper realistic here on Dream Views. I don't usually post dreams with sexual content, but this was a good one. I rarely recall dreams about sex when I'm in a relationship, but I've been single for the past month. As usual, exactly how this dream started is lost... I was in a very nice apartment or large central bedroom. It could be described as a bedroom setup in the middle of a sunken living room. There were bookshelves with various items. Several open doors leading to other rooms. The decor was fun but matured looking. Gray carpet. There were shafts of light coming in from various places, so it appeared to be broad daylight outside. I was with my ex, ex GF. She looked well adjusted and emotionally and physically healthy. She was dressed in soft indoor looking clothes. Her hair, skin, and textured white shirt were very vivid. I don't recall exactly what we were talking about by I know it turned to us. We were both single. She was casually admitting her head was not on straight when we were together. I recall explaining that I had grown a lot since that time and wasn't proud of how I handled things either. There was a very warm, almost glowing feeling between us. I remember feeling like, we don't know a better place to put our hands but on each other. We started touching each other on the bed. Her skin, like before was incredibly smooth and tan. She seemed to be in slightly better shape, and she was in good shape to begin with. We melted into each other. I remember she was wearing loose fitting white shorts. She was not wearing anything underneath. I kissed her naval and slid off her shorts with no hesitation. I went down on her. She made the most sensual sounds. I was in a trance. She started to orgasm after a few more moments. She didn't want to yet. She resisted by saying a few words I don't recall. She did not move away or push me. I sat up and so did she. She looked at me filled ecstasy. She said something to me like, that was no fair. She slid her head down to my crotch. I was like stone. She put her mouth on me in a way that can be described as both filled with lust and hunger. Almost reckless, but shy of that. I was ready to come almost instantly. This felt real. She pulled away with a strikingly beautiful smile. I recall feeling slightly frustrated when she stopped. We snapped ourselves out of the trance and laid down together embracing. There was a strong feeling of agreement that we shouldn't jump into relationship mode again too soon. We fell asleep together. This was a dreamed sleep. I seemed to wake up later and the room was dark. I figured I just woke up in real life and lamented at the missed chance to have such an intense physical encounter. I stood up out of bed and looked back. There she was besides me, wrapped in a blanket, and sound asleep. I thought wow, this really is happening again. --Then I woke. Oddly, I had a very different dream about her almost exactly one year ago today: Dreamland: Lucid Corner & Ex-Ghost Fragment #2 I have not had feelings for her since 2007, and the dream a year ago reflects more the typical sort of dream she pops up in. This dream had an impact on my day. One of the most sensual dreams I recall having in many years. This dream falls into an old motif of my dreams: Bizarre Apartment

Time Lucid - DEILD (30sec), False awakening 1 (30sec), False awakening 2 (2min) Non lucid - grey text Semi Lucid - red text Lucid - blue text Dream Fragments: I'm watching TV at my house, and I see my Dad. I'm looking into the trees/ditch, where I used to run around the c-town football ground. DEILD: I'm at my primary school, on the oval at night. I was thinking of having a wank on the oval (right.. getting my creep on I see.) I see a girl walk passed the fence, and she was dragging a sheet along with her. I wake up and begin the DEILD process. I've been on a bit of a dry spell and got a tad excited and got up too early out of my dream body. My vision was pretty messed up looking, so I decided to take off my glasses which worked for more clarity. I check my hand for a reality check, but just do it out of habit, due to the fact I know I'm dreaming. I double check by levitating myself up to the ceiling of my room and touch the roof. I walk out of my room and notice that my Dad is making his bed, but the room looks different. I try and piss him off for the hell of it as he makes his bed. I then wake up. False Awakening 1: I get out of my bed and look at my hand, and notice I have 3 fingers. I'm dreaming. I look around for a pill in my draw, expecting it to be there and being LCD. I keep coming up empty, but I do find some empty medication tabs. I look towards my bed and see that there is another empty tab. I decide to fly out of my room, low to the ground. I fly through the kitchen and passed Dad's lounge room. I notice that someone is in the lounge room as I pass and I pull on the brakes and slide across the floor. I begin to wake up and I prepare for a DEILD chain. The scene re-appears, laying in the exact same spot. I rush through the transition and fail the DEILD *shakes head* so impatient lol. False Awakening 2: I'm in my bedroom standing up, I do a RC and realize I'm dreaming. I begin to stabilize the dream by rubbing my hands together, and taking off my glasses which helped a lot. I look at my hands and really study them to get the scene even more vivid. I walk out of my room into the lounge room where Dad is. I see that he's half on and half off the couch, asleep with a blanket half over him. I try and wake him so I can talk to him, but pushing him a little. He awakens and still looks half asleep, and doesn't want to make convocation. I give up on Dad and walk into his bedroom, and walk towards his bed. I look to see if Mum is under the blankets (or anyone else). As I lift the blanket up, I see a dog walk out from under the blankets. It's not my dog Rex and it is a lot bigger then my dog. I look at my hands again to try and keep this lucid dream going, as the recent lucid dreams have been very short). My hand looks as if they are cracked. I continue to really focus on them. I felt confident the dream would last longer now. I figure I should leave the house (I usually never make it out of the house). I walk towards the door, intending to go across the road to the neighbors house to see who I could meet and talk to/have sex with (my penis gets the better of me a lot). As I reach the door, my alarm goes off and wakes me. I've never had more then 2 lucid dreams in 1 night. I'm wrapped with getting 3. What made it better was it was coming off of a dry spell
Me some random guy and my other friend are looking at a map. on the map there are two sides, the light side and the dark side, we decide to do the quest on the light side first. For some reason even though the setting is in medieval times, my old high school was there. we enter the school. As i go to my old grade 9 English class, i notice my class is taking part in some sort of event, so there is a ton of food on the tables around the class, but it's all covered in wrap. i enter my class and notice there is some new seating arrangement, and everyone in my class is actually from my grade 10 class. i also noticed that my seat isn't there, but luckily a class mate calls me over to where my seat is, for some reason the desk is full, so my class mate empties it out for me. while he does that i tell him about my plan to kill the queen of England. As i was telling him i was fiddling with a necklace in my hand, suddenly the queen walks in, i scream, and my buddy's run out in there medieval night armor, and we kill the queen and some other guards. we run out of the class to one of the wash rooms. as i wash off blood, one of my buddy's says "we can never go back"and then my other buddy says "well bye now" just before he leaves, i ask him to continue the other half of the quest on the dark side with us. he says "sure" then i wake up.
I'm on a basketball court at my primary school. It's night time, and I'm looking into the sky for some reason with other people. I see 3 moons, which looks pretty damn cool. I see a police car on the basketball court. I feel as if something wrong had happened and think it's because Daryl had left us. I notice Daryl is in a cop car hiding. I'm now in the passenger seat and see Ian Healy (Ex Australian Cricketer). It was as if he was recording a commercial. I see that he's wearing a fluro vest. I look towards the road and people keep walking and riding right in front of him, not even realizing that we almost hit them. This happened multiple times and I said, we must be dreaming or something, this is crazy (I do not RC). Ian Healy (Ex Wicket Keeper for Australia) I'm now in the backseat of the police car and see a police men pull a girl I was with out of the car. She has a blanket over her. The police man starts to punch her, and I step in and try and defend her. I think I was raining elbows onto or he may have been elbowing the girl.
Dream 1(fragments): Was playing some platformer game. Dream 2(fragments): Something about futuristic city and pipes Dream 3(fragments): I was playing Terraria with SilentEternity and there was a new mod pack for it. We installed it and it added alot of things and also made game 3D somehow. We started in a pit made of stone of reddish color and were discussing mod features, there was some kind of research system and faction system that activated with hardmode, which included friendly dragon faction. At one point we were attacked by some random dude that was calling himself 'Creator of minecraft' and had ability to teleport around. Then later we have reached a village, but then suddenly massive blizzard started and it was too difficult to continue so we decided to sya at the village and play hearthstone card game with inhabitants(somehow) and i've apparently had a legendary that was some fleshy golem thing.
