Dreams:
No recall at aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lll.......... Again, need to start doing this when I wake up instead of when I go to bed. Too much time in between. It would also be helpful to take notes in my phone when I awake in the middle of the night so I can keep track of the times and probably remember more dreams.

I've made prompt cards with mantras etc in large letters (to push the message home) Before I slept I went through them, willing myself to wake after every dream, have vivid dreams, do RC's etc. I tried WILDing first and got "tickly/itchy face syndrome" Eventually gave up and went to sleep normally (I'm convinced that WILDing attempts are for my lounger)

I woke at 5.30am (not working there yet then) and I couldn't recall a dream. I had a slight headache (sometimes I get a little congested) I got up for 5 mins then back to sleep I woke at 7am and recalled one dream (I'd categorize it as "semi vivid" ...I've had stronger ones)

I was at one of my workplaces, an office, alongside a workmate. That's 2 of my dream signs (I retired 4 years ago) but they didn't trigger an RC. Apparently, I went to lunch and I was trying to get back to work but I got lost and I wound up inside an industrial complex (another link to one of my workplaces) and I climbed higher and higher into some sort of dead end.

Then I was walking down a well-flooded road and cars were hitting the flooded area and sending up walls of spray One went out of control (it was ridiculously small and people were laughing) I started to retrace my steps...then I woke up

I have vague recall that the "lost and trying to get back to work" scenario is one I've dreamt before but can dreams create the illusion about multiple dreaming? I've had the same feeling about flying dreams

Obviously more intensive conditioning work required.

I'm currently like a kid at a pick-and-mix...and I need to slow down. Three time yesterday I tried WILDing...twice I lay on the bed and that doesn't work for me (not least because my bed's normal-sized and I'm 6'6") I'm better on my recliner...it's really comfy and feels just right. The Goldilocks zone

I think I reached SP (my body certainly felt unusual) I gave a couple of little piggie snorts…my sign that I'm hovering on the edge of sleep and several times I had the kind of sensation I felt when I viewed concealed 3D pics...a sort of rush before the picture emerged from the background. I gave up 3D pics when I found they gave me borderline “fits”.

I seemed to be hovering on the edge for a while but the wife was due home and that intruded into my mind, I gave up when I heard her at the door...pity. My right arm was dead and I had pins and needles...was that residual SP? (I was laying perfectly comfortably, with my arms free and the time period was no more than half an hour)

Definitely naps on the recliner with a good window of uninterrupted time. Is headphone music taboo in WILDing? (to shut out distant passing traffic noise etc) I love Thom Brennan's "Mist"...it's so evocative and must be mind-blowing played in a misty forest

I took B6 last night (see? all over the place) No vivid dreams and I remembered two minor dreams . I’m thinking that I might need to concentrate my efforts after about five hours and I definitely need to get a better alarm than my phone…by the time I’ve fumbled around and stabbed the right button the magic has gone a bit.

Ever onwards

I took the night off (from waking after each dream) but a snippet from the last dream of the night: I was at some sort of camp and there was to be a grand ball that weekend. I was told I had to buy an item for someone at the ball who was special in some way, but did not know what it was and didn't understand the explanation given to me about it. I also didn't have a proper dress for the ball. When it started I stood outside and felt very klutzy that I hadn't got the item and wasn't dressed properly. I don't think I even went in.

I read somewhere here (have read so much I couldn't say where) to record the emotion in the dream, so I am trying to do that.

Lucid Dream 517: Treasured New Members
Series: 108 Stars of Destiny, Episode 11
DILD
Technique: ADA



I'm watching One Piece at the start of the dream. Before long, One Piece has become the dream itself and I am walking around in the One Piece universe. The environment isn't 2D, but the colors and details make it look that way. It was extremely bright and colorful. I'm on a dock and I see Luffy and Nami enter a bar. I follow them in and sit down at a table and watch them intently. I plan on killing them and collecting their bounties. Another pirate sits down beside me and starts talking about the Straw Hats. He told me a plan he had to kill them, so we decided to team up. The plan was for him to jump rope and sing in order to distract them (lol). At some point during the plan I became lucid.

I acted like I was going to kill the Straw Hats, but instead, I killed the guy skipping rope. Luffy thanked me for saving them and I asked Luffy to join my crew as one of my 108 Stars of Destiny. Luffy refused and said I should join him instead. I told him I was already a King and I would help him find the One Piece and become King of the Pirates. He still seemed hesitant, so I told him we had unlimited amounts of food at my castle and he would be the captain of my entire pirate navy. He agreed, but only if I let Nami join too. Nami sat on Luffy's lap and wiggle her ass around in his lap in a seductive manner. They seemed to be romantically involved. I agreed and added two more Stars of Destiny to my crew.

I told them to head back to the castle and I'll meet them there later. I told Luffy that after becoming a Star of Destiny, the castle location is embedded in your mind. I ran outside and proceeded to explore the One Piece universe. I ran a little ways through the town and ended up on a large protruding cliff. It is high above the sea below. Nami is beside me and we act as if she had been with me the whole time.

From this point on, my lucidity is a bit shaky. I know I'm dreaming, but the concept isn't exactly sinking in. If that makes any sense . Its almost like I kept fading in and out of lucidity.

I knew me and Nami were looking for treasure. I looked at her and said, "Ok, navigator. Check the radar again and see if we are close." She pushed the button on her wrist accessory and a radar popped up in the top corner of my vision. It was almost identical to Call of Duty's radar system. I could see the blip indicating the treasure and it was right under my feet. I knew the treasure had to be at the base of the cliff. I told Nami I was going to jump into the water and find the treasure. She told me I would die, but I reminded her I was lucid before jumping. I accidentally jumped too far out into the water. I landed far away from the cliff and in very deep water. I looked underwater and could the see the endless abyss below me. I began freaking out and knew I had to save myself. Somehow I was now back on top of the cliff. I jumped into the water and grabbed my other floating body and began to swim back to the base of the cliff. Once I got there, my other self had already merged back into me, so there was just one of me again.

I looked closely at the base of the cliff and I could see that it wasn't a solid polygon. It was like the old video games where you could see the polygons on something that could be broken apart. I punched the rock and it shattered into pieces. I pulled out a long spear/lance from the crevice. It had a very long, thin, gold, rounded shaft and had a double bladed tip. The blades resembled the curved Arabian-style swords, but not as long. It was an awesome looking weapon (I have been using a spear on the game Demon's Souls, so I think this is where the weapon idea came from). By this time, my lucidity was pretty much gone. A transparent scroll took up my entire vision and a girl's voice began to read the note. I can't remember the exact phrasing, but it was something like this, "You have risked your life to find a piece of our hidden treasure. The next piece may be easier or maybe it won't. We have driven countless pirates to the seas to find the 13 pieces of our treasure. Good luck finding the rest." A tally popped up and showed that I now had 7 of the 13 pieces of treasure. I immediately thought about getting all of the treasure, but never telling anyone that I had found them. I began swinging around the spear and I noticed that the knifed-head of the spear swiveled to slice whichever direction I swung the spear. I woke up during this time.

108 Stars of Destiny
NEW 16 - Luffy - The Gum-Gum Star
NEW 17 - Nami - The Navigation Star

I had a dream that I was walking around completely fine like I was myself, but then I looked into a mirror and I come to find out I was somebody else. Although I was someone else I was happier being that person than myself. I still sounded like myself and everything just the appearance was different. I also don't know who that person is.

I took about a 3 hour nap today. I had a dream where I was at my childhood home, and my grandma told me that the girls outside should be careful. I had no idea what she meant, but in a few minutes some girl scouts knocked at my door. They were selling cookies, so I bought some, and a few minutes a very tall, and I mean very, strange man came lumbering towards us. I asked him where he came from, and he said that he lived down the street. He had bad intent, I could feel it, so I tried to make him leave. He had his car in the driveway, and I was fighting him, basically. I destroyed his car too, and he finally left, but then I had to go to court about the car. I told them that he meant harm and explained the situation. I was asleep on my back, and awoke to something hissing and flying towards me to grab my hands in the physical world, which I very easily shook off and woke up. It was a LOUD hiss. It was a pretty small creature, though. Cool!!! I was finally aware during something trying to grab me to cause SP.

Length: ~1 hour
Type: Non-lucid

My memory is foggy on this one, so bear with me.
I started off looking at Saturn with a couple moons in the sky. I was on the surface of some jungley planet. I was looking up, then a fireball flied past me. I heard someone say "I should make that part of the game" I was confused.
(memory blindness)
I went to 3rd person and I realized I was playing Spore! I was traveling along with some other weird creature.
(memory blindness)
My mind sort of replayed the first half of me looking at Saturn.
(memory blindness)
I woke up with a crink in my neck. I then realized I had that exact same pain in the dream.

Notes: I had drank apple juice (due to many people saying that helped dream recall) before bed.

Length: ~5 min
Type: Non-lucid

I was eating breakfast (Banana nut muffin with two eggs) when I looked out the window and realized it was snowing. I told my brother. My mom then got mad at him for reasons I will not disclose. I went outside with my brother and we went sledding. He was suited up in a coat and everything, and I just had a dinky T-shirt on. He pointed that out and I said that it was too much trouble to suit up. I threw myself onto the snow, then once I touched it I woke up.

After waking up, I realized it was summer.

Length: ~3 seconds
Type: Lucid

I was playing basketball. I spontaneously did a nose reality check, then I woke up.

1:40AM

I am an astronaut. I am riding in a mine cart up to a huge shuttle nestled in a wooded mountain side with my fellow astronauts. I hear a distant crowd cheering for us and I put both hands in the air in response. I tell the person next to me that I am so excited to finally go into space. I said I would go before I die and here I am.

At the launch site we do various mundane things to prepare. I wake up before anything good happens.

WBTB missed. I wake at 5 and decide its too late for WBTB. I go for a DEILD with the Monroe tech.

#not counting - Sometime after shortly after 5AM - DILD?

The dream forms and I find my self mixing epoxy at my old job. I look down and realize its actually pancake batter. I am confused with this dream and realize that I was trying to have an OBE. I throw myself backward to force myself back in bed into a lying position. I fall fast and then in slow motion and float. I get a vertigo sensation and butterflies in my stomach.

I am now in bed and I feel that familiar feeling of the dream state. I go ahead and try to move but I feel paralyzed. I wait for the vibrations instead of trying other exit method. I think maybe I am too awake since I never felt vibrations. I have too much importance placed on it and I lie in the void until a noise wakes me up.

I go for DEILD again

A dream forms and I see a white ball partially buried in grass. I think it looks like a golf ball and when I pick it up I see that I was right. It feels solid and I note the texture of the dimples. I realize I am dreaming and become way too excited waking myself up.

Lion, Tiger, and.... dog? - Time unknown

I am at my first job at Long John Silvers. I realize I am wearing that same colorful shirt from the hospital dream last night. There is a tiger and lion in the kitchen and they keep fighting. The noise of is is awful and I cringe every time they get near me and I worry that the costumers will notice and we will all get in trouble. A pug dog that I recognize as mine runs away from under my chair in the drive thru and I hurry after it. I runs into the front lobby and I nervously try to laugh it off and makes jokes about a dog in the restaurant.

I pick the dog up and take it outside. I decide to get in my car and leave. In the parking lot we can hear the sound of the tiger and lion fighting. It sounds odd and distorted (probably my wifes snoring!) Some one hears it and says it must be someone bowling. Not wanting anyone to know about the tiger and lion and agree that bowling must be the source of the noise.

Air Raid - Time unknown

I am in some old WWII era building. I know its all fake but I think it's some type of mystery role playing game in a museum. There is some puzzle with fans and someone tells me to get a shopping cart. I look down a hallway but don't see it. Then two carts some rolling in from an adjacent hall. I take one and push it to the fans. Something about the cart being in proximity starts the fans and a phone rings. I put it to my right ear but I feel some obstruction. I hear a creepy man giving me instructions but I can't hear very well. I decide my hearing aid (What? I don't wear one IWL) is malfunctioning so I put the phone to my left ear. I am confused when I still hear the voice in my right ear. I laugh at this but instead of question if it is a dream I just think my hearing aid is really messed up. Then suddenly I hear the voice in my left. I begin to think that I'm missing something important here but before I can think an air raid siren goes off. I hear a loud boom and the building shakes.

I know that I am the star of this show and I must get in a plane and parachute out. I run off with some guy that I know as the pilot. I stop and ask him who has my son R. He says my dad does and calls him a "dipshit" I run back a ways and see my dad carrying R and my two daughters walking behind him to safety. Knowing my kids are OK, I continue with the pilot. I wake up.

Fragments

I'm smoking again. I feel the sting of the smoke in my throat. I worry that I am addicted. I need to buy a pack.

I see a dead chicken on the ground. A second live chicken walks up to me.

-WILD attempt turned DEILD
one of my crappiest lucids

Didn't catch myself falling asleep so I just went straight to sleep and wasn't lucid. Eventually I noticed a false awakening and the vibrations came over me immediately. I stayed still like usual but the vibrations wouldn't stop. I could feel myself in my dream body now and was doing nose plug reality checks. I could breathe very clearly through my pinched nose. I still felt tingly with vibrations and couldn't really get control of my body to stand up. My eye lids were soooo heavy and I felt so tired that I just couldn't move and I just lied there. This has never happened before and it was really weird. Eventually I sat up but still couldn't open my eyes and I was getting frustrated. I woke up and couldn't DEILD so I just got up.

Sleep time: 9:00PM roughly first time, went back to bed at some time around 5:00AM, I didn't check the time Awake time: 6:00AM roughly.

I went back to sleep in the early morning, not expecting anything in particular but I had a LD!

1: I was in my Media classroom just working on random stuff. I can't remember exactly what but I know it was on the computer. I felt like I had been in the classroom for around 20 minutes-30 minutes, but I can't be certain. I was like this for a while, with nothing out of the ordinary happening except the position of things in the room was different. Out of the blue, I suddenly realized I was dreaming, so I did the hand check/finger through palm RC, and I became lucid. For some reason My eyesight became super dim, like my eyelids were closed, and I couldn't open them. I tried really hard to, and this blue light started seeping into my vision. I felt a pressure behind my eyes and the light brightened, then my dream eyelids snapped open. I was in a field of some sort filled with flowery things, staring at the cloudy sky. It was almost picturesque. Then I was suddenly transported back to my Media classroom. I yelled out stuff like "more lucidity!" and "more clarity!" and the world got more in focus. I still felt a bit groggy but not too much. I looked around the room and realized all the students except me were now dressed in black/grey/blue coloured leotards and lined up across the room. The teacher was standing at the front on the room and pressed some button on her computer. A crackly voice started talking loudly, saying we were about to start doing some exercises, and that that we should exercise, something like that. Anyway all the students started jumping up and down on the spot, so I joined in. it was at this point were I started jumping were I woke up.

2: I also remember a fragment of a dream where it had something to do with the mafia/mob or something, and I was out the front of a large mansion estate in the night where a black limo was parked in front of the house on one of those round about thingy's you see at big estates. That's about all I can remember unfortunately.

Legend: Dream , Semi-Lucid , Lucid , Side notes.

Stupid Friends
Time: Logged at 6:02 AM, around 6 hours after falling asleep, first dream remembered.

Dream Summary:I'm rooming at some temple place out in the woods, a bunch of my classmates are there. A bus pulls up, it's mid day, We all load up some stuff for the trip we're about to take and get on. The bus stays in place for a good two hours getting ready. While we are waiting, me and a group of friends all get on some phone game and start playing. The goal of the game is to play different games and earn in-game money which can then be used to upgrade your village. As i'm in-game, i play some sort of game on a very hard difficulty setting, i run through avoiding the enemies and compete the mission. I do this one more time but this time, the mission is harder but i complete it and earn a massive amount of in-game cash, like really massive, enough to practically buy every thing the in-game shop has to offer. However, in order to protect your in-game character from losing the money you earned, you have to deposit it in a bank. I go to do this, but as i do this, my friends all say they want to play in-game volleyball. This absolutely pisses me off because i was forced to play and lost all of my money. I mean seriously, what in the heck. It would of taken all of like 2 seconds to deposit cash, only two seconds! but no, my friends are impatient so i had no choice. The bus is still stopped, so i walk outside and pee by a tree (the temple is out in the woods so i can go to the bathroom where i want ). I'm furious so i sit there and pee for like a straight minute, i'm even more angry at the fact my friend brought his girlfriend out and started talking to her close to the place i was peeing. What a showoff bastard.

Eventually, we get back on the bus, this time it's leaving. As we travel down the road, my backpack falls out of the bus as we cross into another road, i'm panicking . Now my backpack is sitting on a road that connects the two roads, I think hopefully that it may stay there. But nope, a giant cargo truck comes through, the backpack gets stuck on the truck front and whats worse is that the truck is going in the opposite direction and away from our temple home. I'm setting in my bus sit and i can't even say a word, my face is just full of disbelief and shock. First i lost my money and now my backpack, the only emotion that went on at the moment was: F*CK!. My anger was through the roof.

The bus gets to a temporary stop, and somehow but luckily my mom is there and she has her car. I grab one of those fold out plastic lightsabers. ( my plan was to reach out the window and scoop my backpack up with the end of the lightsaber when we got close to the truck, not that it would ever work though... D: ). However, my mom says she hears noises outside. It's night so i can't really see much. However, i hear the sounds that the predators make. (hopefully you all know what im talking about, the sound the predator made from the movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger). It's night but i can still make out shapes and believe it or not, it's those damn bobcats from last nights dream. At this moment, i was feeling this: "You have to be kidding me " And that's how it ended.

My thoughts: This dream really pissed me off. It was pretty cool though, seeing how my emotions could be like that, even in a non-lucid dream. Makes me want to try to lucid dream even more.

In order to motivate myself, I've made this list of things I want to do or experience in my dreams -- lucid or not. I'll be adding to it as I come up with more ideas, but this is plenty to get me started.

Dream of past lives

Dream #1

Time period: ~30 B.C
Location: Rome
Age: Unknown, probably post-puberty due to height POV compared to others
Gender: Unknown
Appearance: Unknown
Details: I was amongst the crowd witnessing Cleopatra's surviving children being paraded around Rome. (Prior to this dream, I hadn't known Cleopatra had had any surviving children.)
