    1. Hair Restraint and Why Capitalism Failed in Poland

      by , 05-22-2013 at 03:11 PM
      In this long and complicated dream I was somehow involved in politics of Poland (my country of origin, where I was born, but now I am a US citizen in real life).

      There was this blond thin very pretty very charismatic woman who in my dream was in a position of power in Polish politics and was also a close family friend on my mother's side of my family.

      She and a large group of people where house guests at my mother's home, and I was communicating with them mostly via phone and texting.

      One time we arranged to meet. The setting was an outdoor cafe with the tables and chairs set up on a bridge for some reason. When I arrived, the important woman, a male assistant of hers, and a prisoner were already there. We were going to interview the prisoner to find out important information from him, but I do not know why he was a prisoner and what the important information was. There was no chair for me, so when I arrived, they first pulled several empty chairs from a neighboring table, and had to readjust it, so that there was only one empty chair for me. The prisoner's restraint had to be removed so that he could talk more freely. It turned out that he only had one restraint to begin with: a hair restraint, and so the assistant cut the restraint restraining the prisoner's hair. (How a hair restraint would suffice for a prisoner, and how it would prevent him from speaking freely - my dream did not explain any of that, nor did I question it.)

      Change of scene to a political rally. The important woman was talking and saying "... And that's why capitalism failed in Poland." I interjected, "Excuse me, but as a proponent of capitalism, I have to correct that capitalism did not fail in Poland, it was designed to fail. What those in power called capitalism was designed to be unacceptable to people, so that they would beg those in power to abolish Capitalism. Which is what those in power had wanted all along." While I was talking about begging, I enacted the gestures of putting my hands together in exaggerated begging, and my perspective changed so that the powerful woman was higher up and I was begging her from below.

      I do not know what the consequence of my interjection was because I then woke up.

      Fragment 1: about personal finances and 401k retirement plan.
      Fragment 2: a fragment of a dream about my grandmother go alas is no longer alive. In my dream she was frail, so toward the end of her life.

    2. Menthol and Marriage

      Blame it on the menthol.

      Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

      Lucid #98: Menthol and Marriage

      I'm watching my son E perform some kind of a play with other 3-year-olds. At one point he's supposed to pretend a wiffle ball bat is a magic wand, but of course he goes waving it around dangerously close to other kids' heads. I run over to intervene but another mother gets there first. "I'll take that," she says, plucking it out of his hands.

      "Sorry! Thanks for grabbing that from him," I say, embarrassed that she got there first. The woman gives me an unfriendly "where were you?" look. This annoys me, but as the father of the kid who was going nuts with a wiffle ball bat, there's not much I can say. I look back over at the play and E, laughing merrily, leaps over a low stone wall and goes running off God-knows-where. I take off after him...

      ...and have a false awakening in complete darkness. I hear Wife stir in the darkness and she asks me why I'm awake. I tell her that "I had this crazy dream where [E] almost hit a bunch of other kids in the head with a wiffle ball bat." I move to settle back against the pillow and realize that it's way, way too dark in here.
      "I'm dreaming," I tell her.

      "Mm-hmm," is her sleepy reply, and I hear her roll over.

      "It's super dark in here," I say. "I can't even see you." She doesn't respond but she rolls over again, leaning her head against my shoulder and putting her hand on my chest. I'm feeling really frisky and I think about asking her whether she wants to "make out a little bit."

      Before I can unleash this suave line on her, she exclaims, "God, your breath!" and rolls away in horror. As she says that, I notice that the inside of my mouth feels nasty and vaguely thick, like my pre-bed dental care has totally worn off.

      My confidence is a bit punctured, but I respond, "This is a dream. I can't possibly have bad breath in a dream."

      "Okay, if you're sure," she says.

      I move toward where her voice is coming from and try to kiss her. I wind up just finding her feet, which start flailing around when I touch them. "Why are you facing the wrong way now?" I ask, confused and a little exasperated.

      "I don't know!" she responds. Holding on to an ankle, I very clumsily sort of turn her around. Since it's dark, I can just imagine that she's now facing the right way. As I do, the light in the scene increases ever so slightly until I can see her. I've managed to put my "death breath" from earlier out of my mind, so we kiss.

      As they say, "one things leads to another", and the dream ends with roughly 4 minutes of very vivid LD sex before I wake up.
      Describing this part in detail would be a little too personal and graphic, but even after having a fair number of lucid dreams, the realism and detail of LDs still amazes me.
    3. Recurring Dreams in the Same Place and 4 Lucids

      by , 05-22-2013 at 01:59 PM
      Last night I kept having dreams that occurred in the same area, but different places around the area. I ended up getting lucid three times!
      Lucid Non-Lucid

      This is just a fragment of a dream. I was in my house. I became lucid, and RCed. I decided to go outside and fly around. I jumped off the deck, put my arms out, and imagined floating. I ended up gliding a bit, and then landing face-first on the ground. I got up, and tried to fly again, and this time I floated a bit.

      I was in a large hotel which looked like a mansion with my entire school I went to last year. My friend and I went in the pool, but then this dark cloud appeared right over it in the corner. It formed into a tornado, so my friend and I ran inside to go hide. Another friend was in there, and he told us to come lie down by him. Then, the tornado came in, and a huge part of the building fell right where we were thinking about sitting before. After, everyone in the school got up, but then we all had swords, and everyone was trying to stab eachother. I stabbed a bunch of people, and then my little sister came up to me, swinging a mini-sword at my face. I grabbed her hand and told her to leave. After that, it was night, and I couldn't find my room at all. Every room I went into was wrong, and I kept going into the same rooms. Eventually, my teacher told me to sleep in this one room which was really big and dark. So I walked in, and the lights were by the door, so I had to walk to my bed in the dark. Then, this slenderman thing came up, and started following me. I woke up.

      I went back to sleep, and ended up in the same room, non-lucid. This time, I was sitting on the counter by the stove with my computer, but it was daytime, and there was a large window in the room. I became aware that I was dreaming. I thought 'Oh crap, this is where I was before. I'm getting out of here. I grabbed my computer and jumped and smashed through the window. Luckily, there was a massive lake, so I landed in the lake instead of on the ground. I swam to the surface, but then I woke up.

      I fell back asleep again, and ended up right outside in the front yard of the mansion. I could tell I was dreaming, so I thought of tasks for Checker's competition. I saw a really nice car, and I tried to teleport myself into the drivers seat, but whatever I was trying didn't work. Eventually, I ran up to the car, and tried to get in it, but the person inside drove away. Then, I ran down towards the lake I had jumped into before. There was a huge cliff in front of me (going down). I was going to try and fly into the lake, but then I decided not to. I saw some cheetahs (again?!? They were in an earlier LD), and decided to try transformation for on task. I got down on all four, and ran towards them. I could feel the transformation, but my clothing was still on. I reached them and woke up.

      Then, I fell asleep and was back in the mansion, but in a different room. My dad and sisters were there. I became aware I was dreaming, and RCed. I went up to my dad and said, "Dad, you're dreaming! Here, plug your nose!" Then, I demonstrated flying to him. I jumped up and hovered a bit. Then I landed on the ground and looked at him. The scene went blurry for a second, then unblurry. I decided to stabilize, and rubbed the couch a bit. Then I showed him flying/floating again, and I woke up.

      This is the last one I remember. I was in the mansion, and my friend and I had to stay the night. We went into the basement, and found a cookie factory! We crawled up into the machinery to sleep, but there were a bunch of other kids. Then, we got plastic containers full of cookies from the machine, and a worker said we could have as much as we want.

    4. Dream #2 - Job Loss 20.05.2013

      by , 05-22-2013 at 12:03 PM
      I only remember a tiny bit of this dream.
      I'm lying in bed in the morning like i've just woken up and I think to myself, I Dont have a job. I remember thinking in the dream that it was the day before I was sacked. I felt gutted as I had bills to pay and didn't know how to do it. I then instantly thought and actually said to myself 'oh well at least I can wash my car'.

      Could this have been a false awakening? I'm not sure it was, as much as the fact that I didnt actually do anything.

      Thoughts as always.
    5. 22nd May 2013 100th Lucid and additional DEILD, Wandering at home, Transformation

      by , 05-22-2013 at 11:56 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's naps and yay for 100th lucid!
      And yay for successful full transformation, even if it lasted only for seconds and form was unplanned.
      My dream recall on talk with DCs is still not good, hmmm.
      Still need to work on dream control.

      Dream 1:

      I wake up at home and look at hands , i can't straighten fingers no matter what i do and they are angled weirdly, which means i am dreaming. I look around and room is different, it looks somewhat like it was ages ago, and my bed is the old bed. Family is in the room as well. I walk up towards balcony door but for some reason i decide not to leave. I recall a few goals and attempt summoning and transformation a few times but it does not works well. Then i talk to family DCs about something while walking around the room, but can't recall what. I noticed pants changed color from time to time and one time i looked i had alot of pants on me for some reason. Dream fades out.
      I am in the bed and mom tries to wake me up for whatever reason, i get annoyed a bit and get up, then look at hands i still can't straighten fingers, so i am still dreaming. I walk a bit and then i have got a completely random thought about dinosaurs. I see room door opening and i decide to try summoning one, no result. I walk out of the room into the corridor and decide to try transformation, i pretend to be rawr'ing and i notice some mirrors in the corridor. I look into them and i am apparently some humanoid dinosaur-looking creature, at the time i see it i feel some sort of change, and my legs felt different(I think my awareness was low again or something so i didn't felt the transformation entirely). Also my rawr pretending sounded more 'actual'. For some reason i decide to walk back into the room and on the way i become back normal. I notice dream destabilizing and i rub hands, dream becomes more stable. I walk towards balcony door this time intending to go outside, but shortly dream destabilizes again and then fades out.
      I lay still with closed eyes intending to DEILD and shortly i feel someone touching me.
      Dream 2:
      I wake up and notice that mom was trying to wake me up again, i ignore and check hands, they are still weird, also i look around and notice that i am in my room from previous dream, i get up and try to summon some things again, but it does not works. I say something to mom DC and go towards balcony door again. I suddenly remember about expectations(Finally my dream self remembered that properly...) and decide to try summoning again, but the dream fades out.
    6. Dream #1 - My Girlfriends Sister 18.05.13

      by , 05-22-2013 at 11:40 AM
      Me and my Gf's sister are alone together in my living room on the sofa.
      I pull her closer and she doesn't resist. We begin to kiss passionately (thinking back this is probably where I should have used a RC). I remember feeling amazing, the rush of being with her was out of this world. I then feel this pang of disappointment and dread as I realize that I am cheating. She then pulls me closer and we continue to have sex (I think, it gets real hazy after this part).

      This is all I remember as Im normally rubbish at remembering dream and am trying to get better, apologies for the x rated nature but I believe it was this that helped me remember.

      I also think that there were two points that I should have RC'ed and I can see that now, both when we were kissing and about to have sex as I know we would both be against this for obvious reasons.

      Any thoughts would be helpful as I am looking for advice on how to become lucid.

    7. Off Limits

      by , 05-22-2013 at 10:05 AM
      I only remember a tiny fragment:

      I was skating on a path in a park that was clearly off limits to anything with wheels but I managed to go around or through anything that got in my way. There were groups of people hanging around pagodas and such that didn't really seem to care that I was skating where I shouldn't. A group of old ladies even complemented me on my skill. The park itself was quite beautiful, filled with large trees, a lake at the top of the pathway and purple and yellow flowers.

    8. Stuart's Dream Journal

      by , 05-22-2013 at 07:04 AM
      The first thing I can remember is being in my old house visiting Mum and Dad and the rest of my family. I had two extra brothers in this dream (who don't actually exist), and my real brother was nowhere to be seen. In the dream it was the first time meeting my new siblings despite the fact they were about 15 and 12, and we got along pretty well. I couldn't help but act like a typical brother to try and impress them. My Mum kept talking about them and hugging them as if she has know them for as short a time as I have. It was a pretty happy family feeling the whole time.

      Next thing I remember I'm going to university with my Mum, it's really dark outside and the sky looks incredibly clear. It's all very sterile looking, the buildings are all monochrome with patches of stainless steel, we were walking towards her classroom on a little steel bridge suspended about 2 floors off the ground in between two huge buildings. We eventually reached the door to her room and it was a a massive tinted glass panel about 3x1m with no handles but it opened like a normal door. I see this kind of architecture a lot in my dreams.

      Next I was back in my old backyard, it looks pretty similar except now there's hundreds of cacti everywhere. A few are big but most were still pretty small and in their own little pot. There was literally thousands of cacti in my backyard, the outdoor table and chairs all had a cactus pots piled up around them. Most of the floor was taken up by cacti except for a walkway to get from the door to the clothesline. I was playing with one and accidentally pricked my finger in a spine and looked at my finger, instead of finding a spine lodged in there I saw a sizable chunk of my hand was missing. I got the feeling something wasn't right because the hole was about 1cm wide and went into my hand about 5cm and I couldn't see any bone. I asked Dad if this was cause for alarm and he said it was probably just some bacteria on the cactus that ate the tissue.

      Next I'm lying in my bed nursing my hand which is still sore. I looked inside the hole and saw it's about doubled in size and now filled with water, I accidentally tilted my hand it the water poured out all over my bed. I got up to get a drink of water from the bathroom because I'm pretty freaked out at this point. As soon as I look into the bathroom I saw my reflection in the mirror, it looked like I'd put on 20-30kg and my face was bright red with rosacea. I looked closer and saw my hair thinning really badly in parts and my bright red scalp was visible in some places. I looked at myself in confusion and horror, when I looked closer the bald patches on my head were slowly moving around my scalp, sometimes joining into one big patch while others split into two smaller blobs in a similar fashion to a lava lamp. I decided if I lost the weight I mysteriously gained and got my hair cut short it would look pretty cool. I woke up after this very relieved

    9. City on ice - at the beginning

      by , 05-22-2013 at 03:42 AM (Sandy's Dream Journal)
      In the school yard, it's break time so the yard is crowded. I realize I'm dreaming 'cause I've just back to sleep. I find Tùng Anh in front of my classroom (he was my crush 4 years ago but now we're good friends, and I always meet him when lucid). I want a shared dream with him so I use Ignore test to make sure he isn't just a DC (like in the previous lucid dream I thought he was real).
      And as I turn back he is still there.
      I said to him "Wake up! You're dreaming!", he gives me a look seems to mean "I know!". I kiss his lips, he doesn't kiss me back but smiles to me. We hold each other's hand and start floating up. We fly around. Our friends down there, they look up to us and shocked "OMG THEY'RE FLYING!!". I'm a bit surprised "Why are they so fightened?". When we reach the ground I see our French teacher (At Junior High) hurry out of the classroom. I tell T.A "She isn't real, I'll show you". She look at us for a second and back to the classroom. When we have lost sight of her, I take him into the room. No one's there.
      As we back to the yard, we saw a group of boys. One of them has blue hair (IRL his hair is black like all of us). I reach another boy and use magic to change his hair to rainbow color. Then I give him a mirror. He doesn't like it.

      I wake up, but it's just a false awakening. I run downstairs, my mom is about to go. I try to recall the previous dream, and back to the dream scene with T.A.
      We see our French teacher again. As we fly up she pull out a gun and shoots us . Luckily no one hurt .
      We're still in the sky. I look at him, he seems upset. I ask him why, he said "This is boring. We don't have anything else to do?". I show him the whole city beneath us, he says "No". I change the dream scence to a beautiful, romantic night sky, he shake his head. I take him to the ocean. There's a huge iceberg. I say "We can build a city and put the residents in it". He agree (but still seems hesitate, I don't know why). We start carving the ice.
      While working and talking to T.A, I have a change to look at him more carefully. He wears jeans and yellow shirt, and very detailed appearance...

      Wake up. Write in DJ. Go to dreamviews.
      Note: So... I'll start building a city on ice. I suck at drawing, design, architect... But who knows?

    10. Hollow Earth

      by , 05-22-2013 at 02:21 AM (Lucid Time!)
      I was in my own bedroom. There was a huge fault that had split my house down the middle. There was a very accurate recreation of my house and subdivision in the dream, minus the entire fault.
      I began flying around and viewing the world outside of my body. Narration took place. I was explained that for some reason the earth was hollow (No longer had magma or a core) and was collapsing in on itself.
      The narration told of how the fault shifted twice before a huge chunk of land, part of my house included was lifted several hundred feet above the other half. This happened, and people began to run and scream as a very violent earthquake took hold.
      When the land stopped moving, I thought everything had finished, but the fault broke, and a huge chunk of land fell into an abyss below the earth. When it fell, with my body still on it, I had an overwhelming sense of failure and worthlessness.
      The narration continued, explaining that although a great deal of the earth had collapsed in on itself, there were a few scattered islands of rock that were suspended by powerful magnetic fields.
      But I had died. The dream rewound back.
      I was on the lower side of the fault, but quite a bit away from my house this time. This was after the first shift, so there was a huge cliff face visible in the distance. I could see layers of rock in the side of the cliff. I was by a small rocky mountain with some pine trees growing around it.
      I can remember the pine trees very vividly for some reason. They were vividly colored and swaying in the wind.
      The dream began to phase into something like the game like Minecraft. The expiation changed.
      Supposedley when the world caved in, all of the blocks that had originally generated would fall, and only new blocks that had just been modified would remain afloat in the sky.
      I punched one of the trees until it yielded wood. I created several boxes out of the wood and was able to construct myself a small raft before the continent would fall into the core.
      After the land fell, I was stranded on a small wooden raft, floating alone in an endless blue abyss. The raft was an odd mix of simple textured Minecraft cubes and real wood boards, and continually phased between the two. I could see some other floating islands in the distance. I wanted to try and make my way to them. I began building a wooden bridge out of blocks to the other islands.

    11. Bluffs [Semi-Lucid]

      by , 05-22-2013 at 01:54 AM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      Bluffs - 4:20AM - semi-lucid

      I forgot the first part of this dream and I felt semi-lucid


      I see a boy of about 10 in a shallow river next to some shallow bluffs. He looks like he is sorting and cleaning small pebbles next to a really large rock (about the size of stock pot) up on a natural rock "trough" in the water. I use my mind to send a wave of water and wash out all the rocks. It even carries the large one way. He mutters something and put the large rock back.

      I walk up on a much higher bluff with some unknown person behind me. I want to think that it is NyxCC but I am not sure. I see CanisLucidus and NewArtemis sitting down talking. I already know what CL looks like in waking life and he appears normal. I didn't get NewArtemis' face but I kind of got and idea of her height and build in my mind. We all have a long conversation about lucid dreaming as I am looking out over the bluffs.

      The scene is bright and sunny. The area is rocky and dry like Texas in mid summer. The water seems a little too brown. I suddenly see NA jump off the cliff in the corner of my eye. I look around and only see a slight disturbance in the water below. CL says, "That's her experimental exit." I wonder is she just woke herself up or it she went into a different dream. CL continues talking, "She's younger than you. Probably around 26 or 27." Then he goes on talking about how "exceptional a dreamer she is" and how she "just dreams so much". (How thick am I? )

      We talk some more and the fourth person stayed quiet but I am aware of his/her presence. I soon wake up.

      5:38AM

      I am on the computer chatting with CL about my dream. I see the posted some long VM but the words "Go go go win win win" Pop out at me clearly and vividly. Then I look at the time and it is 4:34PM. I feel panic when I realize I never went to work and I'll probably be fired for no-call-no-show. I try to think how I'm going to save my job.

      It was kinda two dreams. The first I was in some video game with my friend, Jake. We were on a staircase, holding laser gun things. There were tons of other people running up and down the staircase too. He was trying to explain to me how to play, when I accidently pushed him down the stairs
      The next one I was with this guy from my school, Bojan, and someone else, but I forget. We were standing at the bottom of a huge hill, covered in dirty sheds. People came up to us and asked for us to find their cats amongst the sheds So, we searched the sheds on the hill until we found all the cats, and I felt pretty awesome walking down the hill holding four cats
      Then, we stole the cats, shoved them in box, and we ran away. Yay, catnapping
      (And sorry for not posting. Lots of school work)

    13. Theif/Sex fragment

      by , 05-21-2013 at 11:42 PM
      I was in my brothers school and I like sneaked in and I was looking around on the shelves and I saw the game Age of Empires for PC. Then I was on the school bus and this girl wanted me to fuck her on the bus, I was really tempted in the dream to have sex with her but didn't in the end because she had a bad reputation and would of made me look extremely pathetic. Then I was back in the room I sneaked into and was watching some people play a game of tenis/football(can't remember which it was) on the court and was trying to stay out of sight.

    14. 21st May 2013 Talking on hydro plant, browsing forums, some game

      by , 05-21-2013 at 10:50 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Pretty fragmented recall today.

      Dream 1(fragments):

      There was some story about an organization of some kind and a group of people doing tasks, i was talking to them a few times. I was in the location that looked like a hydro plant. I was using PC in one of the rooms to browse internet and i recall browsing dreamviews and a fraxy related forum. Some user was pretending to be a good poster, but was failing also there were some people from dreamviews on that forum, also there was some forum game that i wanted to join but i recalled that i didn't really wanted to be on that forum and logged off.
      Then back at the hydro plant there was more talk with that group of people and figured that they do any kinds of tasks which the client they were assigned to desires. Then i was playing some game and after that somebody was showing me something related to dream control.


      Dream 2(fragment):

      There was some discussion about dream recall.
    15. Albert Einstein, Nickola Tesla and...me?

      by , 05-21-2013 at 10:42 PM
      Date: May 20, 2013
      Method: MILD & WBTB
      Sleep Time: Can't remember but I believe I had gotten around 7-8 hours of sleep.


      Dream #1
      Dreamed I was in an elevator with Albert Einstein and Nickola Tesla. The elevator was going up and then all of a sudden it stopped abruptly. I looked at my fellow elevator friends and said, "Something is wrong." I felt like I was becoming lucid, but at that exact moment, the elevator spun out of control and the dream faded and I woke up. Damn it!

      Dream #2
      I was in my sister's apartment and she was having a party for some kids. they were running around all crazy from the sugar 'high' and constantly drinking sodas. I was trying to help my sister move furniture out of the way and I noticed several mice marching on the floor in a straight line...this scared me to death...so much that I woke up...AGAIN!

      Dream Fragment #1

      Dream Fragment #2
      Shopping with my sis in law at a Kmart and we both wanted a pair of curtains we saw during the 'sidewalk' sale. The curtains were for spring and you got 2-4 curtains for a dollar. We both wanted those curtains so bad...

      Note to self: Do you think Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla in an elevator with you was your dream sign? Uh...YEAH!
