I did it! I FINALLY made it Lucid the second time that I can remember--first time since giving up over half a year ago! It's a very long dream too, took me 4 pages of paper. Very vivid, and very memorable, with enough lucidity that I was able to exert some pretty cool control--but not enough lucidity to take control of the course of my dream.


"Bear" Lucidity

Sunday, August 11 4:00 AM----went to bed at 12 Midnight


I'm in a deep forest. THe trees are incredibly vivid and bright green--much brighter than any in real life. They are tall as well, probably hundreds of feet. I walk for a bit across the soft mossy ground; my feet sink into the moss. It's pleasant, warm, and tranquil. It really does remind me of something from either Tolkien or possibly the Chronicles of Elantra. It isn't long, however, before I see something ahead--a very large, very mean looking bear.

The bear is mangy looking, with tufts of thick brown fur sticking up here and there. He's snuffling the ground, making grunting noises as he does so. I'm starting to feel really scared, considering running before it notices me--and then I have the realization that I don't need to be afraid of the bear. I'm Dreaming, and it can't hurt me! I didn't do a reality check, I was so sure I was dreaming (although I wish I had, nothing like a reality check failing!). The thought that I'm dreaming simply pops into my head--I'm not even sure what triggered it, except that I fell asleep repeating that I would realize I'm dreaming.

I decide to play with my newfound lucidity by dealing with the bear in a rather cinematic way--I'm in a fantasy setting, may as well throw a fire-ball at it like any mage from a fantasy novel would do. I'm just about to form the fireball in my hands when another thought occurs to me; a perhaps better way to deal with the bear might be to put it to sleep instead! So, I fling my hands forward, and a wave of energy rushes forward, striking the bear. At once, the creature lies down, and starts snoozing! Impressed with my work I head on my way, to wherever the forest path will lead me.

And then I lose lucidity completely. For some reason, after a bit of walking, I start to be very afraid of the bear again. I have the uncanny feeling that it will be majorly ticked off when it wakes up, because I put it to sleep, and that it will try to eat me. So now I'm running, trying to get out of the forest before the bear catches up to me.

I then come across what I can best describe as a very odd hunting lodge. It looks rather small from the outside, but inside it is amazingly large--almost like I'm outside again. There is a person I've never met--I can't remember what he looked like, but I *think* he had short blonde hair. Anyway, I tell him about the bear chasing me, and he takes me to the back room to help get away from it. The back room is very impressive. It is massive, the ground covered in moss, and logs are stacked about the walls. The walls themselves seem to go higher and higher--I can't see the ceiling, and a path of these strange logs lead up, up, and up. I start to run across the logs, every once in a while coming upon a gap that I have to jump--very reminiscent of a side-scrolling video-game like Super Mario World.

At some point, I regain lucidity again, as I'm running across the logs, and remember that I don't need to fear the bear, he cannot possibly hurt me. So, I walk down the log path, to the ground below. (Blame my not jumping down on being only partially lucid--I'd have LOVED to jump down instead of walk down. Darnit). After I get down, I leave the hunting lodge, only to find myself in my living room. However, the living room is entirely different from how it is IRL. For one, there is no wall between the dining room and living room. For two, there is moss like there was in the forest, covering the floor and thick jungle-like vines covering the walls. There's a single couch and the door leading to the bathroom in the back of the living room.

My mom and dad are sitting on the couch. I excitedly tell them how cool it is that I'm in a dream right now! Mom tells me how awesome that is, congratulates me on having a lucid dream. Dad, however, starts telling me how it doesn't matter, it's just dreams, not life--and it is stupid anyway. I'm standing behind the couch, and mom starts arguing with dad about what he said. I take little notice, however, because I feel the dream starting to fade--and I retain enough lucidity to know I want this to keep going.

"Uh oh!" I exclaim out loud.
"What?" Asks my mother, turning around to face me.
"The dream is fading." I say. And then, I look at my hands, remembering some of the things I've read here about how to keep from losing a dream. Oddly enough, my hands appear mostly normal for dream hands--the only real difference is they are fuzzy. I then vigorously rub them together, shouting "STABILIZE!" When that doesn't seem to be working enough, I start to spin. I spin three times, mumbling in a sing-song voice "spin, spin, spin" as I do so. When I stop, mom asks me what I'm doing.

"Stabilizing the dream" I tell her. My lucidity wavers slightly and I have the foggy idea that mom will be more convinced that I'm dreaming if I change my appearance. I decide to shape-shift into one of her favorite music singers, Michael Jackson (I too am a fan, I must admit). I go into the bathroom to the mirror hanging on the wall. I look into it, but I'm still the same, despite my desire to change shape. I frown, then have an idea. I turn around, and tell myself "I look like Michael Jackson."

When I turn back around, I am the spitting image of MJ, how he looked during his video for the song Dirty Dianna, complete with long dark hair, the thin white shirt and leather pants. I'm wearing the buckled boots he wore in his video for the song "Beat it" and in the background, the opening strands of Billie Jean begin to play. Dad comes into the bathroom, telling me how stupid I'm being and all of this lucid dreaming stuff is. In my new shape, voice sounding EXACTLY like Michael Jackson, I put a finger to my lips, shushing him. I then place my index finger on my Dad's chest, and in the same tone MJ uses when he states "Who's Bad" in the song, I tell dad "BEGONE!" Of course, he looks quite confused.

"Be gone?" he repeats in surprise.

"Be gone!" I repeat firmly. Then he just pops out of existence--poof, just like that, leaving me amazed. My excitement, however, is short lived. Before I ever even make it out of the Bathroom to show Mom that I really am dreaming, everything goes black, and I wake up!




7:00 am


I only remember a fragment of this dream. I remember being in the kitchen telling my mother about my lucid dream from earlier. I heard dad get up, then mom got up starting the coffee. I came out, told her about the dream, and that's it--I remember nothing else. I would classify this as a false-awakening fragment.

Unfortunately, I can't remember much. What I do know is that I was with this group of friends. We had this extracurricular club and we were happy that we had gotten a classroom for us. We got to the classroom and found it all messed up, and it was clearly that this other club had done it. We were pissed off and we decided to mess their classroom.

Then, I was driving around with a girl from my club. We were talking about how to deal with the other club when she started sorta hitting on me. I REALLY was into her, but then I decided to tell her that I wasn't really a lesbian, but that I identified as male and was actually transgender. She got instantly weird and didn't want to talk to me anymore.

We got back to our school and she continued to ignore me. The others didn't know why, but they didn't care much. She at least never told anybody what I had told her, which I was very thankful for. I quite like the idea of telling people myself when I'm ready.

I went back home and found my parents. I was hungry even though we had had dinner already, so I ordered a bunch of junk food. I'm trying to lose weight in real life, so dream me felt very bad for eating all that and, of course, my parents caught me. I woke up feeling guilty for dreaming about food, but then I felt relieved that I hadn't done that in real life.

It was a pretty long vivid dream. I didn't like it though. In fact, I woke up pretty pissed off. So I won't write much about it.

At first, I was just watching (but I wasn't there) as a little kid got attacked and lost a couple of fingers. I was really angry about that.

Then, I was a vampire, but a good one. I was a little like Angel. And I was looking for a girl that I had to defend. I found her apartment and then I realised she was in her secret room (behind the sofa, there was a wall that moved).

I went there and we talked. We heard voices and I left her there and went back to her living room. There was another vampire there, a woman. She was a bit like Darla. She asked me about the girl and I told her I didn't know where she was. The vampire looked around, look at the sofa and at the wall. She quickly realised there was more to it and she got to the secret room.

She moved much faster than I could and she mocked me because I had (apparently...) given up my vampire powers. The vampire then attacked the girl. Except that she didn't. She really was just mocking me. She then said she wanted to help us. We heard some explosions.

Back to just watching, but not being there. I saw the kid who had lost his fingers again. There were some... creatures, they looked like men, but they were bald and their eyes looked like coins, but with skin. They could use their weird eyes to hypnotise people. They were inside a dark building with a huge door. There were lots of soldiers outside, making sure they didn't leave. When the creatures noticed the kid outside of the building, they wanted to rip off his remaining fingers. The soldiers started killing them all.

Meanwhile, I was "me" again. The girl, the vampire and I started running down the stairs. When we finally got outside, we found the soldiers and they had killed all of the creatures and the kid hadn't lost any other fingers. The vampire turned to me and told me that I had to take the girl and the kid away from there, because it wasn't safe for them.

I woke up as soon as the three of us starting running. I have no idea why I didn't like this dream. I usually enjoy dreams full of adrenaline and adventure and I even had a mission! But yeah... I woke up really pissed off at the whole thing and didn't even want to write it down.

I'm in the backyard of my childhood house, I for some reason decide to hop the fence so I do, I land into a backyard that is between my backyard and the people who live behind us's backyard. It's pretty small, there is nothing but dead grass and a jacuzzi in the right corner. I try to get back over the fence but I can't for some reason, so I decide to get into the jacuzzi, it feels nice, but I get the urge to look to my left and there I see some dude looking through a window at me, he quickly retracts his head and I see his curtains fly back in place because he was caught I look back straight, then I look back to the window and he's looking again and he tries to hide again but is not fast enough, so this time I just stare at the window, then he gets a chair and sits down on it with a cup of something that he's is drinking and acts like he's not looking over at the jacuzzi. So I get annoyed with that fucker so I get out of the jacuzzi and look for a way to get back over the fence, I'm sure my sister is looking for me by now, which she is I can hear her. Then I see this gigantic huge fucking tarantula climb up over the fence where I had, and I expect it to crawl down the side of the fence but it doesn't, it walks out into the air, I change my angle, and then I see it, a huge giant web canopied over this little backyard, I'm shocked that I don't get caught in the web when I jumped over. Then I realize there is another tarantula asleep on the web that I didn't see before, then the awake one walk off over another fence. I look around for something, anything that could help me and I see this flame thrower leaned up against the fence behind the jacuzzi so I run and get it and I blow the web and the sleeping spider to flames and the the fire quickly goes out. I want to get out quick before the other spider comes back and see's what i have done, then I see my sister climbing over the fence, I yell "no!" as she does this but its too late, she's over the fence, so we chill in the jacuzzi for a bit as we decide how we get over the fence and I tell her about the spiders and the web and how I somehow avoided the web.

I literally have no memory of dreaming .

I'm in this big line, and theres lines next to our line, I'm in this line with some of my family like my sister, my grandma and grandpa, the line next to us has some of the stuck up people from the other side of our family who think they're rich or some shit. They're looking at pictures of when we were infants while waiting in line I guess to see who was cuter their or ours or some superficial shit like that. Then I wonder backwards out of line and walk all the way back, at the end of the lines are these strange velvet benches. I see this guy sitting on one of them and I think nothing of it. I hear him talking to the guy beside him that someone stole his hair and I realize it's true the guy is now bald but he had hair just a few moments ago. Then i here him whispering to the other guy about me, he thinks I was the one who stole his hair, when I hear this I panic and run out into the mail walkway and it's like that of a casino, I run across and go into this fancy gambling/restaurant area, I'm aware of the cameras and security so I try to hide from that guy without looking like I'm suspicious to the casino. The the guy spots me I was behind a structure that had plants on it, so I drop to the floor and speed crawl through seated people and I hurry to not be seen by this security lady that is walking down the ramp towards the gambling area. The I see the guy again, he keeps spotting me so I run around back to where I cam out and I go back into the line that I was with family in thinking her wouldn't mess with me if I was with family, and it worked because he left me be in fact I think I lost him then we got onto the car things I thought we were in line for a ride but it must be just a car tram thing that will take us to something.

I kept flying into the conscious of different DC's and they're modeling shit for some stuck up bitch, when I get to the woman each time she's not impressed so she says to look more whatever and I do it and each time it impresses her, Then we all run into a line, I thought it was the line to receive our critiques or something of that nature but as the line moved up, we were in a food line, at the buffet there is lunch breakfast and dinner food. I walk past the plates and try to go back to grab one but the girls are to crowded up behind me, but I see a girl get a plate from a stack in front of me and I'm relieved to grab one. Then I pass all the lunch and dinner stuff, and go up to the pancakes, I grab like 10 pancakes and stack them, their are other types of pancakes like mini ones but i wanted these ones. Then the line moves up and I want to put the berry syrup with chunks of fruit, and the food lady is talking to me about how she's a condiment person too, because I'm getting a shit ton of the berry stuff out, she tells me it's yogurt with berry's, but even though I keep piling it on, hardly anything is on my pancakes, as I keep doing this, the beginning of the front of the line has made it to the other side of this and are coming the opposite way towards us, (I see the girl I'm in love with irl), some little boy is rushing me so I choose to ignore his dumb ass, then he starts calling me names , so after I'm done instead of giving the ladle to him I give it to the girl behind me, then he talks more shit and I smile at him and give him the bird, and he gets pissed and calls me more names and I still stand there not blinking and smiling while giving him the bird, then I see my grandma standing there so I stop even though she didn't see me, then I get out of line because that's all I wanted, I go to the booths and try to find a place, most of the booths are filthy or don't even have a table, I see this girl thinking it's someone I know, when she turns to looks at me its someone else so I walk on to the back, the lights are dim here, I see a girl I know sitting by herself so I walk up to her and ask her if I can sit with her and she says yes. When I sit down I tell her I want to tell her something, I want to say sorry for something to her.

3rd person. Kimahri's become a leader of his people, but he's having trouble. There's someone who's not considered very trustworthy, and he gave this guy a chance to prove himself, letting him broker a deal with an outsider for a very important supply. But there have been delays, and the people are beginning to worry that this guy isn't going to come through for them. They're having something like an informal town meeting, arguing about it, and the guy who brokered the deal is insisting that things will work out if they just wait.

1st person, I've struck a deal with someone whose face I never saw, only heard his voice. He sends me to sow something he designed in the cracks of the border between two countries. Greenery grows from the cracks and spreads into the neighboring countries, and it looks beautiful, peaceful, so no one will recognize it as a threat until it's too late. I see the landscape as if on a map, watching the borders shift in a chain reaction, watching control of land flip from one country to another, sending ripples through the ground under my feet, and I can hear that guy who designed all this, now telling me to watch, to learn how this works and to use it myself, but I already know how it works and all I want is to get as far away from the shifting borders as I can. When I get far enough from the conflict to get a clear look around, I can see the country I sabotaged is now completely surrounded, about to be destroyed. I head north, as far as I can get.

3rd person. Sansa Stark's come back to the north, as far north as it's possible to go before the Wall, and she's sneaking into a hidden tunnel leading to a tomb. She pays her respects and then leaves the tomb to wait in the tunnels, and one by one her brothers arrive - first Rob, then Jon Snow, then Bran (who is walking, and was never crippled in the first place). They're all glad to see each other of course, but Bran's the one they've been waiting for, the one who made a deal with the demon Cassux on behalf of their family. (Cassux - when I wrote this down it struck me that's probably a contraction of Castor and Pollux.)

Scene changes to a flashback: the recently orphaned Stark children 'captured' Tyrion (he probably could have left at any time if he'd cared to make the effort) and 'interrogated' him (nothing unpleasant, more of a casual conversation really). He's wearing a lion-fur cloak, and he's saying, "not such a bad thing, the Old Ways, not having to work so hard for everything." During a time of desperation for the Lannisters, he'd discovered the demon Cassux in his books and made a deal on his family's behalf, and because of that, everything in Westeros has changed.

I wish I had been lucid for this one

I was visiting a friend in amarillo tx her dog whom had been dead for years was alive still I loved seeing him my friends and I went back to atx and the grocery store where i was supossed to do the grocery shopping for a lot of people. I made it tot the aisle with beer and there he was recurring character who apearently drank all the guinesss but one for me. I reached over him trying to give him space saw only one beer had beer in it and put it back with a little sigh I wanted to share with my friends he said something and I said i dont drink often but I wanted a guiness float oh well . Then he says something along the lines of I said hi and took the time to talk to you I gave him a hug ( i have been really sick due to the african dust storms in texas in real life) the mans clothes where covered in tape to hold holes together. I said you know i could sew those for you for free . he said i like that price and handed me a business card. I read the name the title and even figure out the symbol at the time . he said I will be calling around 4 or 5 . I said normally i would just teach you to sew but it seems you have a busy life so i will just help you out this time . I walked away back to the grocery carts and told my hubby I would be sewing for a friend later he thought this was a great idea and took off witht he groceries (maybe because my hubby hates shopping in any form he was nice about it in my dreams lol ) I had three phones and when the time on the phones said 5 I tried to call I could read the time just fine but the numbers on the card looked like some crazy crap it did not sink in I couldnt call


. I woke up it took me a few to even register this dream had happened . although if I had been lucid i would have been able to say more than I will sew that for you. This character only comes by a few times a year and i have so much I want to talk to him about but i never get what I want to say out. Oh well maybe next time

Review: non lucid morning dream, wrote down notes as soon as I woke up and drifted off to sleep again

Apartment Sunken like a Ship
I was talking to Hans. If I'm talking to him its gotta be something political and social economical, world falling apart sort of deal. After that, I head back home and hang out with my family for a bit.

But my dream keeps shifting on me. My family disappears and the apartment is under water, as if it was a sunken ship. I'm with a 'dream' friend and some cute little mouse like creature. Together we explored our sunken apartment and found some interesting items. Stuffed in a desk were these clay-like objects. I realized if you put them together they become explosive bombs.

So my logic was to lump the explosive clay parts together and watch them blow up from a safe distance. My new friend and the mouse creature seemed upset that I did that. I remember picking up the poor little frightened thing and hiding her in my friends pocket. I guess its time we find a way out of this sunken apartment. Maybe if we can create some sort of breathing apparitus while we float back up the top.

I looked around for whatever I could use. The place had of old plastic water bottles lying around. In real life I hate touching other peoples water bottles, it grosses me out. In the dream I imagined these bottles belonged to my sister and her husband, which also grossed me out. But I reasoned 'its not like im going to drink it'. I'm just going to hold the bottles upside down, let them bubble up the air inside and then use a straw as my scuba gear. It really sounded like it could work!

But then we hear someone outside the sunken apartment. It sounds like a really nasty gang. They're trying to break in! 'Quick, hide!'. My friend and the little creature in her pocket quickly run to other bedroom. The gang busts in, and seeing only me, they chase me out the sunken apartment. As I float up the water I can see the apartment really does look like a sunken liner in the bottom of the sea.

I fly out of the water to the pier but the gang is still chasing me. The pier was crowded and public and there were police about, I guess that mellowed out the gang. Instead they stood on the other side of the boardwalk and just name-called me.

Behind me I realize the crowded public wasn't any ordinary crowd. It was the largest protest I've ever seen. Consisting of thousands of angry occupiers. I started to read their signs. This must have been what Hans was telling me about earlier in the dream. I wanted to join them! It looks like they need help with all the police pressuring them to leave.

But my friend is still stuck on that sunken ship! I dive back down into the sea. The fire department was all over the place. I guess they were here because of those clay bombs I exploded earlier. They were trying to quarantine the place, either way they wouldn't let me through to the other side of the apartment. Behind me I hear a small squeaking noise. My friend and the small creature were hiding behind a box. Reunited, we dive back out and wake up.

After that I had a strange serious of false awakenings because I was so sleepy I couldn't really wake up.

I was Muffy Crosswire (from the Arthur series) and I was sitting next to Francine and looking at my camera. Mr.Ratburn walked by and handed me an extra roll of film.

Later, Arthur was standing in front of a small farmhouse. He kept calling out a name.

So I finally had two interesting enough lucids, and pretty long, too. I'd say 50 minutes or so combined, probably a lil' more dream time... yet I didn't tr out any of my main objectives.

Lucidity: 6/10
Vivacity: 8/10
Control: 7/10

I randomly check reality in my father's apartment. I don't really have the time to get exited about that: it's dark everywhere and I have to hurry and stabilize the dream. There a guy in the house; he apparently's got a weapon and wants us dead. I fight him, and though he hit me with a metal bar in the head, I win.
My father tells me to stay, but I don't feel like listening to him and jump off the window, with a gainer.

I jump around from building to building, doing huge flips (of pretty much all kind). The sun's shining now, but i still have to stop, rub my hands and repeat "I'm gonna have a long, awesome lucid".
I keep on jumping for a long time until I get back to the apartment. There's a girl there.
We get out and get to a lake, where a girl tells us that it' s important to be careful about the environment. As she explains us why she loves nature walk away to put something in the trash can.
I get under a bridge; it's dark. I hurry and walk faster but the dream begins to fade out. Luckily I get pat the bridge and stabilize the dream a little. I keep on rubbing my hands and notice a guy (from Prison Break) is looking at me.



He was fixing a car or something but as soon as I see him he walks up to me and punches me. We start to fight and I beat him, but for some stupid reason I feel exhausted and fall on my back. My father and the girls I was with Grab my legs and pull me away, all the way to the dark area of the bridge. I feel the dream fading out but I can't do anything. I can't move, and can only prepare for DEILDing.

I Deilded from the last dream, and I'm now Micheal (The Hero in Prison Break) and I'm laying in those things you put injured people in to lift and transport them.

"I'm gonna have a long, awesome lucid dream".

I quickly get up and walk up to a brick wall, where the others follow me. I decide to try and practice my flips, and maybe find a way to improve them in real life. I run up the brick wall and gainer off of it, just for fun.
Then, I get back up the wall and decide to reverse side flip it. I prepare for the flip but for some reason I really don't feel comfortable and decide to sideflip off the wall normally. I get back up the wall and this time I try to reverse sideflip it. The flip turns into a weird 360 tucked tunnel flip.
I get bored a little and try to have some fun time but that wakes me up for good.

Date: 11.08.13
Type: Non-Lucid
Sleep: 2:30-11:30

Dream one was something to do with being late for school then I bought an ice cream which said it was £41 but it was actually 41p or something. I met my brother at the top of the hill entrance to my old school and then we couldn't go in because of the ice cream and we were already late so I had to eat the ice cream really fast then I woke up.

Woke up at 6:30 or something I can't remember but it was 6 something then attempted DEILD but I realised it's too early so tried a WILD but failed because the room was too light. I put a shirt over my eyes to block the light and fell asleep

2nd dream was that I was in a hotel or something and drawing with black marker pen on a drawing pad. I made a brilliant car illustration with the black markers and showed it to dad. Then someone from another place seemed to portal or teleport to where I was and a glue stick with a drawing on appeared on my book. It was a young boy about my age or a bit older who teleported. He asked for the car drawing and in return about 6 giant boxes of sweets that looked like pixels. I accepted the offer then he said its actually £1 for a sweet!! So I said no way and went back to my hotel room. I remember another boy portalling to me and his mum wanted us to go out with each other. He was alright but I wouldn't go out with him. His mum seemed to be obsessed with me!!? I was friends with him though. I gave him a crunchy granola bar and he loved it.
I can't really remember what happened next but I think I went to a restaurant with my dad.
Next I remember being in my hotel room and putting on the dinosaur shirt I'm wearing today. It was my last day at the hotel and I put a crunchy granola bar in a sock then something else in another sock as gifts to the boy then locked it up and hid the key in some stairs made of rock.
He found the key and when he touched it it started flying and spinning then snapped in half and the chest magically unlocked LOL. The boy liked his gift and then it was time to go. I was going to hug him but then he turned into my friend James so I thought it was weird and just left. Can't remember what happened next, I think that was the end then I woke up.

Dream recall from today's nap. Starting to try out some random idea to fix up my dream control issues and change dream world overall by adding rules.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing Spiral Knights game.

Dream 2(fragments):

Some talk on skype.

Dream 3:

I wake up in my bed and i am very dizzy, i get up but can barely stand, i notice that some objects missing but it kinda fades out.
I wake up again and still dreaming, i try to get up but some force stops me and holds me in air, i have some really weird sensations and then dream fades out.

Living in skyrim.
Out on some expedition on a ship. Ship gets lost, and the compass is broken. It keeps going on by itself. My watch tells me that every 10 days or so it passes near the shores of skyrim. We are out there for about 2 months. Then, Amalia suggests that ship is stuck on back of a giant frog that roams the ocean. I dive in, and take a look, and it was true. I free the ship, and we return to Skyrim.
Then, I quit being a sailor and open a parkour acadamy. There were 3 sections: Conditioning, obstacle course and freerunning. I dream about training there for a while.

There were also a bunch of other things, but I can't remember. I must do more RC and other things during the day.
