I was walking around outside what I think was my old history class. It looked like my old high school accept the parking lot extended out of the top floor and instead of stairs there were escalators... So it was like my high school swallowed a shopping mall. Me and this girl I used to study Biology with (lets call her Anne) were waiting for the class to come out as we were escorting them somewhere... to their Matric dance I think. As we mad our way to the parking lot my fellow graduate was told where it was exactly we'd be going and what we were gonna do. this made her let out an excited shriek as she often did except in the dream it was so loud and high pitched I had to "block" my ears which of course didn't help. It was kinda like Batman had one of his crippling frequency gadgets on cus everyone on that floor couldn't seem to handle it. At the time there were more of my class mates from high school on the floor with their 12th graders. The shrieking made my old history teacher burst through the door of her classroom
and demand that we all go back to class. A friend of mine (who shall be known as... Jayce) snapped his fingers in front of her face and it took me waving a set of keys around for her to recognise us and realise that we weren't actually students. After a quick hello we continued to make our way to our cars when a small group of us decided that a couple of teenagers shrieking at the top of their lungs was not how we wanted to spend the evening so we decided to meet elsewhere. I sat in the back-seat of another friend of mines car (Who we'll call Jerry) in complete silence. We didn't move or speak but after a while we got out again and were somewhere else entirely... Instead of my high school crossed with a mall it was now just a mall and instead of the brown paint and bricks it became white with bright neon accenting.

The rest of the details are fuzzy like we hung out outside for a bit then awkwardly ran into the group that we were supposed to be escorting that had been taken on by someone else...

These are all of the lucids I've had since I went on vacation. It's good but I really need to get back on track with journaling, all of these have been high vividness but vanish so easily when I wake up. My ability to enjoy a lucid is high, but my recall is terrible. I definitely need to fix this....

But in the meantime, dreams! It's been a while since I had some of these, so my apologies if my memory is a little shaky on them.

Right before my eyes!! [DILD]

The first thing I remember is hanging around my neighborhood. I was hanging out with a couple old friends, I believe a couple who I went to elementary school with, and we were staring at where the elementary school used to be and reminiscing. It had been replaced with a college campus, though in reality it still stands there. I became lucid when I separated from them, and I headed down the alleyway that leads to my house. The main thing I recall about the beginning of this lucid was that there were a bunch of DCs chasing me like screaming fangirls. They were all cute, somewhat chubby white girls. I was fighting one of them off near my garage and I decided that I needed some kind of weapon. I held out my hand as if I was holding something and just stared at it and visualized a wrench being there, and it faded into existence right before me! It wasn't really that useful to me though, I'm not exactly sure why I went with a wrench, so I just tossed it at her and ran back out into the open. On my way out I also tried to split my body in two and summon fire but I wasn't able to do either. I was also able to reach up to my face and remove a pair of glasses, twice without putting any back on, that increased the vividness of the scene each time.

When I got out of the alleyway I was still being chased by the girl, she tried to jump me and I ended up accidentally groping her, but then I got away and she seemed to disappear. I turned down one of my neighborhood streets and saw this girl who looked like ML, that I knew all throughout public school also since elementary, but she looked almost like a porn star. Also, I have no earthly idea what this means, but in my phone notes at the end of that last part I added "and apparently it was an ongoing procedural thing." I believe I picked her up as I walked by her and started inviting her to my house, but then the dream faded away.

Good thing we're not.... [DILD]

I don't remember too much about this one. TB, a guy from elementary school, and some other guy were there, and at one point I was walking with this girl MH who people used to think we were related back in like first or second grade. I was thinking about making out with her, but then I realized that this all was odd and became lucid, but then I woke up.

Hammerspace trial. [DILD]

I was back in high school talking to M's friend C at the end of a class and the beginning of break, then I left to find someone else though I forget who now. All I know is that I was done with classes at that point. I became lucid while walking into a classroom and took off my backpack and randomly decided to just drop it through the floor so I could store it for later. When it actually worked and the floor swallowed it up, I got kind of distracted and decided to toy around with it a little more. I stuck my hand into the floor and tried reaching around for the bag but couldn't find it anywhere, so I pulled myself back out and tried to summon it directly into my hand like the wrench from before but I couldn't get that to work either, and since I focused so much on it the rest of the dream faded away.

#1 - Acid carnival? [DILD]

I was lucid outside at night at some kind of bizarre carnival. This whole section of the dream had a very strange psychotic feel to it. I was bursting with energy and the random chains of events happening around me were unfolding in a way that made me feel like I was in an acid trip. Everywhere I looked I had to fight off a good deal of sexual temptation to avoid getting too swept up into the dream and losing track of the lucid. The main ones I remember now are the barber shop girls and the girls getting their hair cut there, and then some beautiful performing girls including LK from middle and high school who wer just singing and dancing. There were also some weird guys here and there, and I specifically remembering sticking out my hand at one of them and yelling "Bang!" Other than that it's really hard to remember what all happened in this dream, it was very frantic and there was a lot going on.

#2 - Maybe I'll just wait.... [DILD]

This is an interesting dream to me because I'm pretty sure I accidentally incubated it while falling asleep due to what I was considering doing. I'm fairly certain the dream just kicked in with me lucid while walking down a hallway with the intention of masturbating. I seem to be in some kind of school or something and I come upon the bathroom so I head inside and notice that it's massive and there's a huge line of girls waiting inside, and even a few guys. I just decided to fuck the system and walk past the line all the way down to the end. I look in the stall and I try to throw this one girl out but she won't budge. She says something about seeing a "nasty phallus" or something like that, and then immediately holds up this suitcase with three fake but realistic and damaged-looking penises just sitting in it to show me. They looked like they were diseased and rotting or something, and it really grossed me out and I woke up.

Sort of like being drunk in an out-of-body experience. How can you beat that? [DILD]

The first of this lucid is hard for me to recall now which is annoying because I know it was cool, but mainly what I remember is starting out in some high up apartment building out in the hills somewhere and flying out and above a city scape for a while. I also saw this old abandoned building on the ground I was approaching at one point so I did a twirl in the air with the expectation that it would be inhabited when I turned all the way around and saw it again, and it was successful. When I got there I just flew around a bit and through walls to see what all there was to do, and I came upon this very attractive girl, just a little bit younger than me by the looks of it. I picked her up and just carried her in my arms with me for a little bit and got distracted talking to another DC or something. I can't remember what was said now, mainly because of what happened next. I focused back on her again and looked down at her body and noticed that she was completely naked. That combined with the fact that I was only somewhat lucid and already pretty horny, and my prefrontal cortex must have taken a big hit. I don't remember much about the next part other than basically becoming an animal. Seriously, I could get addicted to this. >.>

The bummer though was one part when I looked up from my partner and noticed that we were being swallowed into some sort of pit of darkness that was taking the stability of the dream along with it. At the last second I realized that I hadn't been able to keep focus, but there was no time to try to save it before my awareness vanished. The dream became a third-person, non-lucid scene of a woman who was escaping some thugs or something by jumping out of a window of the apartment building from before and realizing she could fly too, and I saw us flying next to each other while I told her that we were in an astral projection together. Then, I suddenly had a false awakening in that same building. I got up and noticed that my parents were talking right outside my room, and figured that that was probably what woke me up. But after that I actually did wake up.

I can't remember exactly what the situation was. I can remember I was staying in some kind of pier or industrial park area. I can remember there being shipping crates that had been converted into houses, and in that sense it was kind of like a slum. I think that there were some people drinking and doing drugs.
It was nighttime. I was sitting around a campfire with some other dream characters, and I fell asleep, Inside the dream.
Only moments only after I fell asleep, I re-awoke into the same dream. It was daytime now, and I could make out more of the area that I was in. There were some warehouses and cargo ships docked nearby.
Then I can recall coming across some dream character. He seemed alot like Bane from Dark Knight Rises. (In fact, he was exactly like Bane from Dark Knight Rises.)
He wanted me to make a decision in his evil plot, and he told me that he was going to have me do it. He led me to the other side of one of the warehouses, where he had wired up three yellow buttons.
For some reason, I wasn't really scared of this character, despite him being a villain. He said that each of the buttons was linked to a bomb, and if I didn't press one of the buttons, he would kill me.
One of the buttons was labeled a remote place. I wanted to press it, but I realized that the button was fake, and it was just painted onto the side of the warehouse.
For some odd reason, the button painted onto the warehouse triggered lucidity. The Bane character disappeared.
I walked around for a minute and focused on stabilization. I eventually came across this fenced off road, and there was a bleacher set up, as though the road had been converted into a raceway.
I found my parents sitting in the bleacher. I can't exactly remember what sort of interaction I had with them. I wanted to try and find my dream guide and get in some lessons. I think I found her just before I awoke.

So close!!

This dream started as me playing a video game, so I was kind of doomed to not question reality from the start. Fun dream nonetheless.
The dream started as a downhill mountainboarding/skateboarding game, which was fun to ride downhill, weaving between trees, skipping down rock formations, and jumping off small cliffs. Eventually I came to a city and switched over to my skateboard. After riding around for a little while, I entered a factory and started skating down ramps and grinding rails. At one point in the factory I went through a large doorway and started skating around a small room that was almost identical to a room in the manufacturing plant where I work. I recognized this peculiarity in my dream, but because I thought it was a video game I didn't think anything of it.

Oh well, at least I'm starting to be more aware of my dreams.

This one is kind of long and not particularly interesting so i'm going to highlight a few of the more important parts.

-At some point I was driving, which is my biggest dream sign, and I didn't do a RC. A little disappointing.
-I was in an asian supermarket and saw some banana flavored popsicles, which looked delicious, but the logo on the front was the gorilla glue logo. I thought it was funny that that logo was what my brain decided to associate with bananas.
-At one point I was at the pool out back of an unfamiliar house, and on the wall was the same mural I painted in the courtyard of my fraternity house. What was interesting is that the words didn't change no matter how many times I looked at it. I suppose this is because my brain sees this as a whole picture rather than words. That's all.

Here's a pic of the mural for reference:

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

With a group being threatened by armed men. One is about to rape a girl. I don't accept this. I know I risk being killed, but I decide it's one of those defining moments in which one has to risk its own life, so I attack the rapist and get his gun and use it to shoot all the bad guys. I'm wounded, but alive. A wound in my leg is looking bad. Open and with white pus. I squeeze it to drain it, but I feel something alive inside, like a huge white worm. Disgusted, I rip the wound to try to get it out, but what I find is a tiny white wolf, like an embryo inside my flesh. It gets out and grows to normal size. It's actually beautiful and I feel so blessed!

This ones short.

I was at an outdoor abstract/modern sculpture meuseum. There was this one cool exhibit where you'd look at some sculptures in the distance through an empty frame and it would recreate a painting. There were also some painted caves, one of which I got stuck in. Thats all I remember.

Fragment, non-lucid:

Me and my friend Kevin (He's a heavy Spurs supporter and he like idolizes Gareth Bale, their star scorer), anyway we were seeing how many pullups we could do and competing with each other and he beat me anyway and I was like ah damn it and then he tagged me in the comment of a Gareth Bale picture and it got like 9 likes or something and I was like ah damn it and everybody was laughing about it.

Bit vague, but that's the best I can remember that fragment.

End of fragment.

This is my first entry since restarting my dream journal, and it was quite a memorable start for me. This was by far the most vivid dream I've ever had, with sensory clarity on par with real life if not exceeding it. The contents of the dream were nothing special however. The dream is as follows:

I started driving with my girlfriend to visit our old high school in New Jersey. Just before sunset we saw storm clouds on the horizon, we pulled over into a gravel parking lot to take shelter in a house. As we stepped out of the car I looked out across a wheat field towards the school. The wheat rippled softly in the wind, the setting sun light tinging it in hues of amber and gold. Storm clouds in shades of pink and blue swirled fiercely in the distance, with intermittent lightning strikes breaking the sereneness of the setting.

We entered the house, and I was surprised to be greeted by some of my fraternity brothers from Florida. We talked for a while as the rains poured down, though I can't recall the contents of the conversation. I soon found myself surfing the internet, watching a video that constantly changed subject matter. After this the rains let up, and I walked outside to start the car. As I was walking, I tripped and stumbled to my hands and knee. My leg had fallen through the earth up to my other knee. When I pulled it out of the hole, my leg was covered in a thick brown mud, though it felt like soft wet clay to the touch.

After a short jump in time, I found myself back on the road with my girlfriend. The rains had returned, and obstacles were soon materializing in the road, a fallen tree, an animal skittering across the road, a crumbling bridge across a rising river. A little while later we came to the same obstacles, and I realized we were driving in circles. A few circuits later, the streets began to flood. My car turned into a boat, and I tried my best to paddle my way through the swift currents. The bridge was now completely destroyed, and ramped down into the river. The sudden incline tipped the boat over, and we both clung to the outside of the boat. With one hand on the boat, I tried to push my girlfriend back inside, but the river was too strong, and soon we were both sucked in. We managed to swim to shore, and I feared the worst for the phone in my pocket, however, when I looked at it it was working.

Then I woke up, very impressed by the vividness of the now obvious dream I had just had.

Since my recall has been rather spotty the last few days, along with a number of other reasons like me wanting to have a better record of things, I have decided to make it a habit to write a post here of my sleep and dreams from the previous night. Coincidentally, it has also been exactly a year since my last post. I'll call that synchronous.

The plan is to record the relevant times of my sleep patterns and anything from the day before that may have impacted either them or the content of my dreams, which I will also record everything I can remember from as well.

Sleep Pattern:

Timings:
Lights Out - 02:30
Sleep - ~3:30-4:00

Attempted relaxation and WILD, didn't get much results. Tried using fear to effect the process. Seemed to help a little though I will need to test it a lot more before I make such a claim.

1st Recalled Awakening - 08:30

No Subsequent Awakenings

Up - 9:30

Modifiers the Day Before:
-3 glasses of decaf tea around 19:00.
-War games at a local game store.

Modifiers Going to Bed:
-Slightly sick with a cough and a scratchy (but not painful) feeling throat.
-Felt tired but not sleepy when I turned the lights out.
-Had been using my computer and phone just before I did so.

Modifiers Getting Up:
-Had somewhere to be at 10:00.

Dreams:
I do not remember anything specific, though I think that I did have dreams and maybe a lucid that I recalled at some point before now. I have noticed in the past that I generally need 8 to 9 hours of sleep in order to actually recall my dreams from the night, short of directly waking up from them. And that my recall plummets if I stay in bed for a long period of time after waking as I did today.

My dream begins at a school, it's this school that is in many of my dreams, I think it's just all the schools I've been to mixed into one making it look like a place I've never been. I'm with friends but I pay so little attention to them I don't know which they are, I seem to have an urgent purpose. It is lunch time, because kids are walking around with trays and the campus if crowded. It has all grades it looks like, because I see what look like elementary aged students to teen students. I walk away from the people that I suppose were talking to me, I couldn't care less because I had to find someone, I didn't know who because I wasn't clued into the part of me that was so urgent with a purpose, it's is like there is two separate minds working within me, I literally don't know what and why I am doing, but I rode along with my body nonetheless. I see cheerleaders practicing cheers and I walk up to them I find a girl and I place my hand on her shoulder for her to turn around and when she does I here the other minds thought, that this is the teen sister, I need to find the younger sister. The girl seemed exited that I might need her for something but the other mind says I need to know where her younger sister is. The teenager seemingly disappointed points to the direction her little sister is, and says she's at her own cheer practice. So on goes my body with purpose again, I see a crowd of people within this cement room area outside, when I walk in all the people move their attention off of the cheerleaders over to me and give me a weird look, I think because I am older than them, they think a senior is in their area or something (I'm not a senior, I'm not in school anymore), but I walk around what's happening in the middle and I spot the girl I was looking for, she looks 10 or 11 years old, has very light brown long hair that's slightly wavy, unlike her older sister who had medium length straight dark brown hair. I admire it as I stand on the sidelines waiting, I guess for her cheer practice to end. (This part is weird to me, it is as though I had amnesia within my dream) Next thing I know I'm at the front exit of the school, I can see outside and the sun is starting to set, I decide to head out and walk for the door, but I get a feeling, I look to my left and about 25 feet away is the young cheerleader with her mother, they are in the attendance office line. They are both looking at me intently, I assume it is like when you see a friend and you stare at them until they see you and you both wave, so I smile at them and keep walking on my way. This time it's like I know who they are but it's not all my will or attention on the girl, I feel like kind of just an acquaintance and walk off outside. While I walk out I make my way to the sidewalk and begin to turn and walk the way down towards where I think I live I guess, but I'm stopped by the mom and daughter, I can see they're both panicked, the mother is carrying her daughter in her arms, I very worried ask them what is going on, are they okay, and do they need help, then the mother tells me I need to take off what I did to her child...I being majorly confused ask her what is she talking about? She then goes on to say that I need to un-hypnotize her daughter, I need to undo what I did to her daughter.. I feel I've never been more confused, I don't understand what she is talking about, I tell her this, I tell I didn't do anything to her, I didn't hypnotize her, but she just keeps on insisting I undo what I did to her daughter and then she places her daughter in my arms and hastily walks off. I look down at the girl and I see she is in distress, I ask her whats going on and then the second the girl opens her mouth, a memory hits me like the clearest vision, I see what I did I assume after the cheer practice. I see that I took her somewhere quiet and I hypnotized her to love me, I hypnotized her to love me greatly, I did it over and over. Once I realize what I've done, not my mind, but personality changes I suppose into the personality the other mind had, I now have somewhat the motives the other mind had. I look down at the girl and I see her struggling in her head, she loves me but because it's hypnosis she knows I'm only making her do it and she knows she doesn't, she doesn't want to feel what she's feeling. At this point there is a part of me judging me for what I've become while I am doing and thinking things. Instead of help the girl and un-hypnotize her, I feel I need to defend myself even though I know I'm wrong. I stare at her and think of my options while I'm still telling her I didn't hypnotize her even though I know damn well I did. A memory comes into my head, one of a man who taught me the specific hypnosis for the girl. I decide I will find him and tell him I need to hypnotize her again, I need to hypnotize her to forget I ever hypnotized her and to still love me, I don't want anyone to know this awful thing I've done. I carry the girl with me and start walking back to the school doors so I can find the man. (Then I wake-up)

Dream 1(fragment):

I was playing some video game.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was in library of some kind and i was talking to someone, then i was talking to OmkAR and there was something about some kind of visual novel about a dragon.

-DILD with branched DEILDS

In a non lucid dream can't remember what it was about. I suddenly became aware of the dream and gained lucidity. First thing I did was start flying. It was a sunny day and I was flying around the neighborhoods that are near my house. I had to flap my arms to stay in the air so I tried taking off in different directions and putting my arms out like superman but I couldn't fly fast. Eventually the dream faded and I relaxed and waited to try to DEILD. I felt my body lying in my bed and I just stayed still and immediately got vibrations. Waited for a few seconds and got up from out of my bed while doing nose plug RC's. I guess I was at the end of REM or something because I felt really tired in the dream and couldn't keep my eyes open and ended up waking up again. I stayed still and did another DEILD. Got up in my room again and did some reality checks and took off flying right away. I probably should have chilled for a bit and tried to stabilize and anchor myself first.

Tonight I'm going to see if changing my immediate surroundings has any effect on my ability to lucid dream. I'll be sleeping in the guest room with heavier blankets and a thinner pillow. also since I'll be closer to my computer instead of lying in bed and trying to recall the events of my dream I'll just wake up and come straight here.


So the results were rather odd. I WBTB'd by setting myself an alarm for about five hours after I fell asleep. I had some trouble falling asleep though due to the thin pillow but the heavy blankets were very helpful because I didn't really have to make my bed again after I woke up the 1st time because I shift around a lot so there was no carnage. I remembered the 1st dream in great detail and posted it in mah DJ then went back to bed. I had two false awakenings in a row which was strange as this hadn't happened to me before so I wasn't aware of the fact that I was still technically dreaming. I'm gonna tweak the method a bit and run this again at a later stage.

Lucid? : False

So let me start off by saying i've started using SSILD technique for 2 days now and although i've had no lucids, my dreams have gotten quite vivid and rememberable.

So I was sitting in my room doing homework and my family was all getting ready for something big, and I found out it was my sister's wedding because my dad yelled at me for doing my homework

I remember my homework consisting of where you have to write out all the questions and your long answers(takes forever to do), but then we all left and somehow we got to this game show stage looking kind of thing.

My sister and 2 other women were sitting in these really nice futuristic looking chairs, and my mom was crying and my sister and the three other women didnt have any lower garments on... at all

And that's what I remember.
