This was the first of two lucid dreams from last night, and my first serious Great Barrier Reef attempt.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #130: The Turtle

I'm swimming in a shallow cove with my 4-year-old son "E". I tell him that he's helping me practice for a planned dream about the Great Barrier Reef and he seems excited to help. We come across a cave just under the waterline, swim into it, and emerge in a cavern where all these other kids are hanging around. I wonder whether all these kids are helping their moms and dads prepare for a Great Barrier Reef dream. This feels strange to me and I become lucid.

There's either a scene change or a memory gap at this point, because my next memory is of walking by myself through the grounds of a university. I pass two men who stare silently at me as I walk by. They're both in their late 20s and look almost like identical twins, except that one is dressed in a suit while the other wears glasses and a flannel shirt. I think that there's something I need to ask them, but I can't remember what it is. (I think I'd meant to ask them the meaning of life for Task of the Month.)

Nearby is a plaza with a tall stone column at each of its four corners. Perhaps a dozen DCs are walking around this plaza, looking happy but aimless. I exchange a glance with one tough-looking DC as I walk across the plaza, and something about him just rubs me the wrong way. I take a half-hearted swing at him, as if I'm trying to slap him upside the head. He ducks out of the way, and immediately I wonder why I would do something like that.

The DC moves aggressively toward me and I move to dissolve this problem that I've caused. I hold up my right hand to the DC and walk casually away, saying, "It's cool." The tension abates and he walks away. Whew.

I remember my intention to get to the Great Barrier Reef. I hulk-jump high above the Earth, knowing that I'll see water nearby. Sure enough, there's a sparkling blue ocean to my right. As I descend, I notice a cute DC standing in the water, waving at me as she watches me come back down to Earth. As I near the water, I realize that she's Wife!

Before I can say anything, I plunge into the water. This is one of only a handful of times that I've been underwater in an LD, and I'm pleased to see that I can breathe normally. I try my voice, and it's perfectly clear: "[Wife]! Can you hear me?" There's no reply and I don't see any sign of her. Okay, focus. I need to ride a sea turtle, find a great white shark, and bite it. Without dying. The task feels really intimidating to me but I start searching.

I swim in random directions for a while until I finally catch sight of a turtle. The turtle has no interest in my company, though, and speeds away from me underwater. I don't have any plan as to how I'm going to catch him, so I just try to swim faster. He kites me along like this for quite a while until I have a false awakening in some kind of hospital.

Wife and I are here trying to improve our dreaming abilities. I'm astounded but pleased that she's interested in dream work now. She tells me that she's trying to hit her REM cycles by setting alarms that correspond with the take-off times for airplanes. Skyler White (from Breaking Bad) walks into our room and starts speaking to Wife in a husky, almost male voice. She's apparently a researcher at this hospital. This all seems strange to me and I briefly become lucid before the dream ends.

Dream 1: I am walking on a country road along a brown picket fence with carvings written into it.

Dream 2: Someone is flipping burgers on a red barbeque grill.

so in my dream i was at this huge river. it was an activity in the land where i was in my dream, an activity that involved riding an animal that seemed to be like a camel under water. i sat on the animal underwater like riding a horse, and the head of the animal popped up. the head looked like a cross between a deer and an ostrich and a camel, and it was the color of a camel. i rode it down a crowded river (there were other ppl riding and in boats and swimming so it was difficult to navigate at times). i finally got to the end where i was to pick up sierra. weirdly enough, i'm not sure i actually saw her in the dream but i know she absolutely loved the sea animal ride that i took her on.

then i was in this huge frat house. it was a beautiful house like you would see in a magazine with a large backyard and pool, but there were bottles and random crap everywhere bc they had a lot of parties there. there were huge frat guys there that i apparently knew. one of them was wearing sunglasses in the house. throughout the house, there were dudes passed out randomly from partying.

me and matt and kiely were on the floor in sleeping bags next to the couch where bryn was watching tv. it was some cartoon that was out of this world. it was like 3d and it was a mish-mash of crazy alien-like images set to techno music. kiely was freaking out bc she thought she was a slut bc of some story she told us about her past. apparently she went into the bathroom with some guy and he said you can have your pants on or off. she chose off. i told her she was just freaking out and shes fine. kiely went to the bathroom, and me and matt wanted to cuddle so we rolled next to the couch so bryn couldnt see. i remember pushing back from the couch so that she couldnt hear either. i remember this part vividly- looking up at the couch from the wood floor and pushing as hard as i could to slide us back. we didn't really get to do anything bc the dream switched or i just dont remember....

i was outside by the pool. there was some huge hammock device. i was told to swing into the hole that the strings created and onto the large tree. i swang like a park swing a bunch of times, back and forth as hard as i could, and i remember yelling things like "i cant do this!! this is so hard!" and laughing.

dream switched again. mom found my computer and freaked the fuck out bc she searched history and apparently i have something to hide. she was screaming and furious and i felt dread and fear. i grabbed the laptop from her, and then started to gather all my shit from the frat house. i had to babysit sierra and i only had 2 hours to get there. before leaving, i went to some drawer and found a bunch of stickers and things and went through them for about 15 min it felt like in order to find sierra some cute things. i picked out pumpkin halloween, barbie ish, stars, and other stickers. i remember their images completely clearly, each sheet of stickers was as real as anything.

i got in my car and raced over to the hymans to see them and then pick up sierra from somewhere. it was the second time we were going to go sea animal riding. i went to the hymans residence, but it was a different house but i knew it was them still. they were nice, but for some reason i couldn't remember their last names and they asked me to find their phone number on my phone just in case of an emergency. for the life of me i couldnt remember their last names, or even first names, and i also couldn't navigate my phone bc it was a whole different interface. they were kind of weirded out by my inability to find them in my phone. they eventually called the sea riding off bc of it, and i felt rejected and tried to change their mind. they tried to distract me by showing me some cat that their friend had created from scratch? it wasn't a real cat it was made from a human. i told them i had heard about it. she said that it did a bunch of tricks. it was a creepy black cat like ricky and its fur was all mangled up like a shitty black haired barbie. it was all contorted and freaky looking. hillary told me she wanted him to do a trick with me. i uncomfortably agreed and the cat came towards me.

idk what happened after that. i did enjoy the sea animal rides and the animal was so cute that i rode with its little head sticking out of the water so cutely.

firstly nat and i were hanging out and i made up my mind that iwas going to try acid. she gave me these litle paper tabs like you see and then i fell asleep and drempt that i took them. i started seeeing all this trippy shit and woke up back to my dream.

still with the acid i continued in my dream and decided i would take it for reall. i woke up

went back to sleep

completley different setting now , i was back at some huge mansion where all this evil shit was happening. i overheard a boss talking about how world war 3 was in progres. i some how gained the ability to turn invisible. i used the power to run through walls in my old high school and eventually tackle cody to the ground and tell him i n eeded help. he didnt really do much for me.

i ended up driving a flying car that could shoot missles being chased by a god fanatic that was working for the bad guy who thought i was the terrorist and was trying to save me from killing the world. while trying to kill him by launching my misles i shot them into this barge like monstser that had a mouth that would open occaisionaly at which point i would shoot my missels into it

Sooo this is my first Dream Journal (new to the site..). I had a really weird dream and wanted to share it:

SO i was playing on my keyboard for some friends in my house, and went to turn up the volume. When i did, the volume of the keyboard stayed the same. Something in my head clicked that this might be a dream because an electronic device was not working. I turned and looked at my friends and sort of "felt around" to see if it felt like i was in a dream. It didnt, it felt like real life. So i turned back to my keyboard and tried turning up the volume again, and this time it worked. The volume went up and i continued playing. After that i chatted with my friends and some more happened but not of it is really relevant. The thing is when i woke up i was confused because i had been so utterly convinced that my dream had been reality. The dream sign (electronic device not working properly) caused me to check if i was dreaming or not, but when i checked everything told me that i wasnt dreaming, that it was real. This has happened before (asking myself if i was dreaming then convincing myself i wasnt). But even my lucid dreams dont feel this real. What do you guys think? Am i doing something wrong? Comment please, and thank you

Wow. Well i've been out of the loop for a long time and my dream recall has been deteriorating as a result of studies and stuff, so i thought i'd commit myself to this dream journal, mainly because my handwriting in the morning is literally unreadable and actually resembles hieroglyphics in a way, so trying to de-cipher it later in the day was always a nightmare, so i thought typing it up would fix that problem. So without further ado, my first (partial) dream to kick off this journal;

15th August 2013
Fragment: It's the middle of the night, i'm in my bedroom and it I was asleep. I opened my eyes and slowly looked to my left. I saw that there was another bed next to mine. I looked a bit further and noticed a baby in a diaper sleeping on the bed. It's feet began kicking, then it's skin turned a sickly grey colour, then i woke up.

Comment: That was it really, that's all i remember from last night. Hopefully my recall will improve in time. Overall i thought the dream was a weird one, clarity was somewhere between 'poor' and 'average'.

So I was at the beach in a truck with some girl that supposably helped me out in some other dream, yet I have no idea who she is. Anyway, we pull up near the water, and there was a lot of people, she says "This is good, stop here.", so I do but instead of changing to park for the car, I put it in drive again... somehow? I was scared and starting running people over and turned and went the other way, people shouted at me :

"Dude, you just ran my hand over, it fell off."

"Holy shit dude, you just ran the fuck out of that guys head over.."

"Your going to be locked up for life."

At this point, I get scared into lucidity and get out of the truck and look around me, I see a dead corpse floating the water, a guys hand fallen off, and some guys head was smashed into the sand. After seeing this I couldn't stabilize and fell out of the dream.

So I started off in this room with some guards, It was like a hotel building with a lot of room that connected, and made it feel like a game because my objective was to plant a bomb, but my health was getting low somehow and me and my friend jumped into this room that they didn't know about, my friend had a bowl of eggs and gave some to me to get full health.

I started a conversation with him asking how things are and he said its amazing then I asked am I dreaming, and he went "I don't know.. do a reality check.", sure enough I did the nose plug and I was lucid . After finding this out I ran and jumped out this huge window and just went flying.. no problems or anything, didn't think about it at all. I felt the wind blow through my hair and remember thinking "Holy shit this feels so real".

I flew around this sort of city that wasn't completely city like and saw a bunch of high school kids all in little groups in this courtyard, I flew over and everyone thought I was cool for flying, . After this I grabbed a girl and brought her to a room with nobody in it and threw her on the bed, but resisted after that.. I started losing lucidity and could hear my sister in waking life, but I quickly came back.

The weird part was when I got back I couldn't see anything, until I fell and hit the ground where I then teleported to a grocery store. I walked around for a while and kind of just lollygagged around the store until i saw a very attractive women(I know I get seduced a lot.), walked up to her and said "excuse me mam, right this way, we have some questions for you. ", took her in the bathroom and.. I'll save the details for this time but yes this woke me up eventually.

I don't remember much, but it's not a bad thing. My dreams were all fucked up last night. I can only remember three fragments.

Fragment 1: my ex girlfriend was at the same place that I was. I'm not sure where we were. It looked like a mall... and a school. It was lunchtime and she was being a bitch to me, so I made her drop her food (she was taking it to her table). She kinda cried and tried to hit me at the same time. I'm pretty sure I got in trouble for that, I think they wanted to make me pay for her food, which was super expensive.

Fragment 2: a friend of mine I hooked up with a couple years ago was angry at me. She kept ignoring me and glaring at me. No idea why.

Fragment 3: I was watching a play/film/animation. It was about an island where there were like five women and five hundred men. They weren't real people, though, they looked like this:



And there were lots of men all over the women. It was depressing.

That's it.

[B]Thursday, August 15th 2013: "Music store" (Non-lucid)[/B]

Not much to write down. I'm in some music store with friends looking at instruments and speakers. It is a huge building, and I also see some familiar people I knew many years ago. I'm not sure if it is day or night, because I don't see any windows. At one point I'm standing on an escalator going up, and I talk to some of these people. Later I'm with a cousin of mine walking around in this same store, and trying out some of the pianos and synths.

Dream recall from today's nap.

I am at home and some people are distracting me from my nap, there is some talk, i have to do something with some papers and then they leave. After that i notice some candles on table, and that one of them apparently slightly setting the wall on fire, i started thinking about informing someone and almost exited the room, but then "wait a second", i look at my hands and they are weird, so i am dreaming. I stop and recall some stuff to do then i go to balcony doors while rubbing hands on the way. Dream version of my room appears to be using old layout and there are apparently a couple of steps down on the way to balcony door, and also balcony itself has glass walls, some of them are open though.
I jump out and feel my wings, starting the flight. I fly around and soon i am above some other city, with high density of rather small buildings and some industrial buildings, all of them are mostly blocky and squarey. I fly above them while looking around, there are some weird reflective surfaces floating in the air. After a few minutes i spot square opening in the roof of one of buildings and fly inside. Place appears to have mostly metallic walls and some machinery, then as i look around it slowly turns into different room from my home part by part, and then dream fades out.
I wake up and i still feel that i am dreaming, and it's nighttime here this time, i get up and go to balcony, it appears to be same as before false awakening with those two steps and glassed walls, but this time closed, i get to glass, turn around and fall back, phasing through it. I feel wings and start the flight. Looking around, dreamscape appears to be more natural, there are some trees. I fly to the left and then i find some village, there appears to be some wooden water barrel thing, in the middle of it that immediately catches my attention, i have urge to destroy it. So i land and start tearing it apart, it appears to have some mechanisms on top and metallic parts, and it's insides are made of... bread??? As i tear it apart i also notice some DCs walking around. Then satisfied with that being done, i stand up and think about trying some of that bread, but dream shortly fades out shortly.

non lucid
*I am at the temple just got done using the restroom. I over heard someone in the restroom saying there are going to go outside to smoke weed to enhance spiritual practice similar to what sadhus do. There was a debate to whether this is was good or not. I thought this could be a really awesome experience. So I decided to do so and got really excited about it.

lucid
*I am in my apartment and it's dark. I tried to turn on a lamp but this didn't work. I thought maybe the power is out. Then I thought what is this was a dream but everything looks so real it can't be. I did a RC nose plug, I could breath but I still wasn't convinced this was a dream. I jumped up to see if I would float, I did and ended floated right down the stairs. I thought ok, this is for sure a dream! I started to walk and woke up .

Morrowind
I was in Balmora, and I did something. I'm not sure what, but something about a rebellion, and no0one wanted to support me and stabbed me in the back.
Anyway, a cliff racer was to take me from there to a safe place to randevous with friends. I had to cover my body in some sort of scroll so people couldn't see me. I did that, and reached a place between two mountains. Then, me and friends (included Nami) took cliff racers to some sort of palace. We took an elevator that looked like the one in the Library from Metro 2033. Then, we saw King Neptune (from One piece- the jamon guy). He said he was going to help the cause, and then started blushing when he thought Nami was hitting on him.

I don't remember what happened before this part clearly. Had an ugly day, that might contribute to my amnesia.
Must read more about ld.

I would say the scariest/creepiest hallucinations I have ever had was when I was probably around 8 years old. I was dreaming that I was being chased by a bear through the woods that had tall, thick, brush and when I woke up I found the bear laying on the foot of my bed roaring at me. I freaked out and honestly thought the bear had followed me into the waking world (it was my first hallucination) but after a few seconds the bear sat up and started talking to me, though I can't remember what was said, I think it was about the dream I had just had. We had a few minuet convo before it finally vanished. The other hallucination that creeped me out was around the same age as the first and it happened in the morning on the day before Halloween. I was having a dark dream that I can't remember exactly about witches, and when I woke up I saw the words "This is the night of all hallows eve" floating above my face, and a female voice had read it slowly to me. I was creeped out the whole day by that.

I have had tons of lucid nightmares, but the one that comes to mind right now was I was on a different planet after earth blew up. I was walking around a town looking for some girl I was into (I was a guy in the dream) then the world started to end. I ran into a small room in the side of a wall and crouched down while things started happening around me. I knew I was dreaming and that my dream wanted me to leave the room and find the girl but I kept telling myself that this is too scary and forced myself to stay in the room until I finally managed to wake myself up. I was scared out of my mind and It felt like it took me forever to wake myself, I was starting to think I was stuck in the dream.

There is another horribly awful thing that happened to me in a dream before, and I'm not entirely sure which one it falls under, if any, but I will tell it and see what you think. I was in an organization that I was tired of being in and decided to leave it with my friend. We were running from them, as they were hunting us down, when finally they caught up to us and I got captured. I knew that I was dreaming but never had any desire to try and control it. They tied me down to the ground, got out a knife, then stuck it at the base of my leg and drug it up, ever so slowly, to the back of my knee. I felt everything like it was really happening, it was the most painful feeling I have ever had, I felt like I was going crazy. They removed the knife and I woke up in a cold sweat, finding that my leg was very sore on the same place they had drug the knife. That dream happened when I was in high school.

So I had this dream where I was walking down a road with some people I haven't met before. And suddenly, I put my hand on the shoulder to the person next to me, and I say " Oh shit. this is a dream. I'M IN A DREAM" , And I kinda freaked out, since it was a dream, and I ran down the road, started looking around, but then I kinda lost it, so it was just a normal dream again, and suddenly i was a wanted war-criminal that everyone wanted to kill and then i woke up. And the funny thing is, I fell asleep again, and I started dreaming of my school. I was at school with my friends , and we started talking about lucid dreaming , and I remembered the lucid dream i had earlier on the night. That was kinda fun, since it made me realise i was dreaming again, so i had another lucid dream. xD
WEll that didn't last long. i woke up shortly after that.




Excuse my skills, I haven't drawn in a while.
