So the earliest I can remember besides small fragments is trying to get donuts at a donut shop for the second basic monthly dream goal. I wanted to take the donuts to some characters from a TV show (Supernatural) that I was planning on hanging out with so we could all have donuts together. I told the guy behind the counter that I wanted "Four of everything" and he laughed and wouldn't give me any donuts, because that was way too much. Then he left and I had to put the donuts into the box myself, and left without paying. Then, I tried to teleport to the people I was planning on meeting, but just as I was getting halfway into their room, it was like some force drove me away, and I ended up a floor above them in a hallway (they were staying at a two-story motel). I wasn't really sure how to get back to them so I release this ball of light from my hands and tell it to lead me to them. It goes pretty fast, though, and as I try to follow it, I lose it or the dream changes or something. All I remember is that I never make it to the people I was supposed to meet and I never got to taste my donuts.

At some point I'm Bilbo Baggins and the dwarves and I have just defeated Smaug, so in celebration we slide down this big hill/small mountain thing and splash into the small pond below it, like a medieval water slide. I don't remember Gandalf being around. At some point I stop being bilbo and become a dwarf, but I don't remember who. Bored, I go west and explore some of the mountains, while suddenly the dream becomes 16-bit and third-person. I find this entrance to a cave that is blocked off, like in pokemon. I think I need a pokemon with Strength or Rock Smash or something like that to get through it, but when i walk up to it, for some reason I'm able to enter anyway. There I find a pokemon standing in a room. It's little sprite looked a bit like Giratina or Groudon. When I went up to it and talked to it, I find it's called The King, and is level 127 (or 177, I can't remember - although I'm pretty sure it was the former). It's bigger, more detailed sprite shows a a groudon-like body that is slimmer than groudon, with a regular lizard tail and lizard head, with those three yellow rib-things that Giratina has. In it's left hand, it's holding a smaller grey lizard. I think he's the king - of lizards. None of my pokemon were very high level, and I couldn't capture it. Even when I took away a good half of it's health, when it seemed to regain health by defeating my pokemon. Once I was defeated, I ran back to the little pond and told bilbo about it, because since I was him earlier, he has all the powerful pokemon that I do in real life, and he could capture The King.

At some point my parents are in this small room with me lecturing me about something, but that was when I had just recently become lucid, so instead of paying attention to them, I'm looking around me and trying to make the dream as clear as possible. All I remember is that the walls were a light brown and I was looking at something metal and black.

There was also something about someone or something that lived in a swamp and it was going through a rough time, so my friend was there to try and help it. I came because I was bored. I don't really remember what happened, but there were rotten fruit lying around as floating, 2-dimensional objects like you see in minecraft.

I took a pass at Advanced Task of the Month (turn a lump of coal into a diamond) but was running into all kinds of cognitive and dream control problems. My brain seemed to be a little zonked. This was my first lucid where I'd taken Valerian Root for sleep, so it's something to consider. Still, a nice long dream, even just counting the lucid part! If I'd managed to get lucid earlier I might have even had more time (and avoided that chaotic freeway scene.)

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #84: Vehicle Fire

Everything in the house is breaking at once. The plumbing is leaking all over the place, the dogs have destroyed a bunch of stuff, and I hear some kind of weird crunching noise from outside. To top it off, we're late picking up the kids from something.

I head outside to find my brother-in-law Muppet swinging around like a monkey on one of the external brick columns that supports our house. Each time he swings around, a couple of bricks fall off of the house and land nearby. Plus, the pillar is actually moving a little bit each time he goes around it. "What the hell are you doing?" I say to him. "You're gonna break our house!" I perform some half-assed reality check and it succeeds.

"What did you do just now?" asks Muppet.

"That was a reality check," I explain. "Everything is such a mess that I hoped I was just dreaming."

"Ah," he says, not especially interested. He points at our roof. Three objects that look like wooden shipping pallets are sticking out of it. "Hey, what are those?" asks Muppet. I grimace, thinking that they must have fallen out of a plane or something and wound up embedded in our roof. Muppet gets distracted, makes some remark about the flowers on the banana plants in our back yard, and then hops away over the top of our house. (Yes, over the top of our two-story house.)

Wife and I get in the car to go pick up the kids. We drive around the city for a long time but every road seems to be closed. Finally we take a tollway but traffic suddenly gets really heavy. I lightly bump some car as I'm driving around but nobody makes a big deal about it. Looking up ahead, we see the reason for the delay: ahead of us a disabled car is engulfed in flames. Black smoke billows up to the sky.



"We've gotta get off this road," I tell Wife, and steer the car toward a left exit. Just as I do that, though, a fire engine comes racing toward me, going the wrong way up the exit. I throw the car in reverse to try to get out of the way. I have to bump a lot of cars to clear a path, but I figure that's okay.

Finally, our car gets totally stuck, so I hop out and start pushing it sideways, kind of lifting it each time. I realize that I'm way too strong and become lucid. Wife has vanished, which is probably for the best -- the scene has grown totally chaotic, with cars driving around everywhere bumping into each other and the siren from the fire truck wailing in my ear. I pick up the car over my head and throw it across the road. In mid-air it changes from an SUV into a yellow Volkswagen Beetle. Then it becomes just the front half of a VW Beetle.

The license plate looks like a bar of soap with words carved into it in cartoony handwriting. I get closer so that I can study it. There are four words, but I only remember "ship" and "check".

Now I remember Task of the Month -- turn a lump of coal into a diamond. Unfortunately, I start trying to conjure a diamond at first. I'm very aware of my hands for some reason, and even when I put them behind my back I can't seem to make myself buy into the conjuration. I bring my hands back to the front of my body and see that now I'm wearing these black, rather lady-like leather driving gloves. Annoyed, I take them off and pitch them away. I try the conjuration again -- again, more lady-gloves. Then I remember that I wasn't even supposed to be conjuring a diamond in the first place but a lump of coal. I start working on that, wind up with lady-gloves again, and start getting frustrated. A car clips me as it goes by, I start getting agitated, and darkness comes over me, pitching me into the void.

I feel relaxed, and start probing at my dream body. It's only a few seconds before I find myself standing in my own bedroom, walking toward the door. I say something encouraging to myself like, "Hell yeah, sexy new dream body!" For a moment I contemplate turning around to see whether Wife is in bed and might be down for doing something sexy but I get scared that approaching the bed I'm actually occupying IWL would be destabilizing.

I head to the top of the stairs. The baby gate's blocking me but I just power through it and it sort of snaps open. I get nearly to the bottom of the stairs when everything stretches way, way out and takes on that stereotypical "endless hallway" look. I keep moving but no matter how far I go everything seems to stay in the same place. Then the entire room suddenly rotates 90 degrees, floor becoming wall, and I slide down the rest of the way to the first floor.

Our coat closet has been replaced with what looks like a giant iPhone. The screen is displaying a game with a 5x5 array of tiles. When you touch various tiles, you receive prizes in the form of troops for Clash of Clans. I earn 4 Minions and a Hog Rider just pushing tiles at random, but now I'm interested in learning what the rules of the game are. I'm trying to figure this out when the dream ends.

WILD. The dream began - i was walking and trying to count fingers. I was in my town and saw DC about 40 years old, he lied on the grass. He spoke with me, and i thought that he spoke intresting things. We had a conversation. But i remembered about TOTM, there was a secretary and i took a sheet of paper and soft pens. I explained the DC that want to draw red car, and i will see it behind the coner and i will run into something. " then draw a recicle bin near it" - he said. I draw a car, going to recicle bin. In fact it was difficult and the picture wasn't stable and soft pens draw very bad. I ask DC what's his name. he said one name. I asked - tell it again, and he said another. I said bye-bye and went to the coner thinking about the red car. Behind the corner i found some constructions like 4-wheel bikes, but making from lego. I sat and drive, but this mashine drove so slow - about 20 km/h. I tried to crash to the building, but nothing happened, i slowly came to building and touched it with my bike. Then i don't remember the fragment of the dream, and my recall came back then i was in my parent's flat with my 4-wheel bike, thinking that i need outdoors to ride. I went through the wall and window and jumped from 8 floor. I flew very fast, and when i landed i awoke.
DEILD i lied a bit without mooving and soon found myself in my district, but without my bike. I up my palm and made on it keys for car, which should be behind me. I turned around and found some construction like portable comp, but biger. I imagined that it will transform. I took it and went to the road. There i put it and its transformed into a cart. It manipulated by the joystick. I put key to the usb - port and drove about 40 km/h. But street transformed into a hall and i stoped near the wall, lost awareness and awoke.

I was in an errie, semi lucid (but we'll just say I wasn't really lucid here.) state and the dream was very unstable. I was following some map to the construction site for my dream base. What I can remember about the map was it was leading me to where I had already built my base, but I never remembered doing it.
I was getting close to the site for my dream base. The entire area was near the ocean, and the path that we followed took us along the beach sometimes. Further away from the water, there was some hilly terrain, dotted with houses and trees, but mostly just covered in grass.
I cut through a shopping center, and got a little confused with my map, but figured it out. As I walked out the door into the open area that was supposedly the site for my base, I did a nose plug RC, and shouted "I'm dreaming." My lucidity got a lot clearer at this point.
I noticed my voice was very scratchy and weak. I yelled again. "Clarity now!" A weak wave of clarity spread through the area.
I didn't like the way my voice sounded, so I commanded "Voice: Change" I tried to speak agian, and my voice was very high pitched and fast. "Voice: Normal" I spoke some more out loud and my voice sounded pretty much the same as it does in real life.
I had followed the map to my location, a small grassy knoll in the middle of a parking lot. It didn't bother me, I knew that I could always move my base later.
Next I had to remember what I wanted to create. I had done some sketches (IRL) and had a good idea of what I wanted. A one story circular concrete building with one glass door. It theory it was very small.
I gestured up, with that image in my mind. The base looked how I had imagined it, only there were about 8 stories. I could see through the window that each story had a different functionality. (Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc.) No! That's way too hard to remember! This needs to be as simple as possible. I decided to try again.
I gestured to pick the tower up, then proceeded to throw the entire thing into the ocean with my psychic powers. (I probably should have just cut off all the upper stories)
At some point, a dream character came along, and asked me what I was doing. I explained that I was making a dream base, because the idea was it would tell my subconscious that I want to return to my lucid dreams, and therefore I will have more of them.
I realized that my work area was actually very small. Probably about 20 feet by 80 feet. I pushed the parking lots farther apart, and wound up with a larger, sort of triangle shaped piece of land.
The land seemed hilly. I completely lost sight of my goal at this point. I gestured up, and created an unnaturally steep hill. "Level Terrain" I commanded. I did a gesture with my palms down and my hands flat. The central area of the land, including the hill I had just made sank back into the ground, and the ground was mostly level.
I commanded to level again, hoping it would completely level the land, but it only leveled the center. Good enough. I remembered that I was working on my dream base. "Now create a concrete circle!"
I woke up.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing some game, there was some kind of cave area and then i stopped playing and went to do some other things. Later i was visiting some forum with simple visual design, there was one user that was suspicious, i talked to him but he somehow got me under some kind of control, making me walk around the room. I was trying to break out and shortly realized that i am dreaming, but then dream faded out and i wake up.
I was actually attempting to do DEILD from there, but i failed and dropped into non-lucid.
Dream 2:

I was back on my PC, and i was still visiting that one forum, that user was talking about some licensing stuff and something named 'PoDDD'. Suddenly i get sucked into the wall and i realize that i am dreaming, some robotic voice says 'PoDDD?'. I try to do move and teleport but then some other voice says 'Capitalone' and i wake up.

Had a nap in the afternoon.

In my house, Suma, Mum, Dad, Bhavaji?

I can see an awesome view from my front windows, almost surreal looking, I ask for the camera and I think Suma gets it for me, but I cant see anything through it, then I realise that its two cameras backed together, It starts stuttering alot, so I try looking for the button, but the button doesnt do a shutter noise, I ask for help from my dad but by then the scene has 'moved' as if we're higher in the air now.
The scene was basically a sunset of a beautiful beach, it was beauitful.

Bhavaji is giving marku a shower, me and suma just got home? Suma and bhavaji are arguing when she goes in, shes like "look prathu got you this shirt!" bhavaji has to be receptive so hes like "yeah, its good".

I give Marky an ipad? or some crappier version? I say i dont need it so you keep it.

Thatha and Papa are watching some movie, The movie is very very old. Like raj kumars time, two actors are arguing, but then find out theyre childhood friends.

11/13/12

1. I am running with my family to escape a lethal virus that causes the skin to melt. We are hiding in our house. Somehow, my parents die. My brother and I run to my friend's house to hide. We find our family in there, alive and well. I seem to be the only one perplexed at how they were dead in our house and alive here. I conclude that they just followed us, and weren't actually dead. We realize that my neighbor is infected, and we find a piece of viral skin on my father. It is airborne, so we run out of the house to avoid contact. I grab my sister, leaving my neighbor and my dad to die. My mother runs somewhere. My brother takes my sister's hand. I run over to my dad who is calling me from across the block. I am confused because we left him in the neighbor's house. I find it strange that he was able to get there so fast. He hands me a red tie and says to give it to my sister. I begin to run to where my brother took her, but I find her right in front of me. I begin to think that something seriously strange is happening. I am about to give it to her when a child's voice calls my name. I look, and to my terror it is my sister from behind me. I turn in front and she is there. I look at both of the duplicates with unreal fear. My family didn't die originally; they were replaced. Who is the real girl? Both of their faces begin to peel off.

10-11/?/12

1. I am see my teacher walking home from school. I become lucid and impatient because she keeps talking. I want to do something fun, but the DC keeps talking.

2. I falsely awaken on the dock of a swimming pool. I watch out of body. My body lying on the swimming pool is sleeping, having a nightmare. It is night, but the dull lights flicker in. The only other person is a stiff ma watching nonchalantly from the bleachers. I feel intense terror even though I am not actually experiencing the nightmare. The man is another dreamer and understands my terror. He rushes from the bleachers to wake my body. My point of view returns to the body quickly, but I fall into the pool as fear rushes through me. It is an intense and unavoidable dread. I become pan-phobic, and I am horrified even by the water and a stray pool toy. This was one of the scariest nightmares for me, even though nothing in this dream should have been.

10/?/12

1. I am in my backyard. A sadist killer has terrorized my school, murdering lots of people. I hear a gun shot and fear I am intended to be next. It is night. I run inside, realizing that I was shot. A fiery pain encompasses a portion of my abdomen. I feel blood on my hands, and I run upstairs to tell my dad, but he does nothing.

"Call 9-1-1!" I say as I fall to the floor. The colors in my vision simplify, and my senses numb.

He just stares at me ominously and repeats over and over, "Get ready for soccer practice. Get your fucking soccer clothes on, you little shit!" I look away from him, and my vision closes in as my thoughts slow. I bleed out on the kitchen floor.

10/6/12

1. I am lucid in a house. In the dream, I gain the belief that it was a house built by and for shared dreamers to meet in. I walk outside in the rain as my lucidity weakens. The dream becomes unstable. The setting changes.

2. I walk to school while it is raining. We are instructed to jog around the school. At the end, I walk up to the attic to get more water for the students, but someone else is there. He is a teacher and raping a female student. She is passed out. Another girl walks into the attic and sees it too. He catches us, and makes us promise not to tell. We find a secretary later and tell her against his commands. Before he is arrested, he finds us and threatens us. We run away from him, and he is holding a knife.

3. The scene changes again back to the rainy setting as I walk to school. I am in the gymnasium, gaining full lucidity after guiding my little sister to an exit. I walk with her through the crammed boarding of the passageway out, but the thunder causes the wall to splinter, cracking my sister's head open with the forceful gashes of wood. At that, I experience a spike in clarity, followed by a total collapse of the dreamscape. I give up my lucidity in the hope that I can continue the narrative untouched by my consciousness. Five interns were killed because of the teacher escaping from the police car, and relieving homicidal rage. Then, as I am walking to school after my sister's funeral, I am cut off by a woman grieving about the death of her husband, an intern. She blames me for telling the secretary about the rape. Then she leaves, and a narrator describes the events of the dream. He describes everything as it happens in a poetic manner. I am apprehended by the driverless cars from another dream. They are less violent this time, but they stalk me across the block. When I reach the end, the narration stops, and one of the cars drives up onto the sidewalk, but instead crashes. The woman appears in the car now. She is dying. She says she will pursue me until I die. I sprint to the school, but I hear the army of cars behind me. I outstretch my arm to the gate, and the front car turns driverless once again.

Friday, 4/5/13 Bed 12-8am

Nap 11:20am - 2:15pm

It took me a while to get any sensations other than feeling comfy. After almost an hour, turned to my left and noticed something going on behind my closed eyelids. But it was more that 3 hours after I woke up in the mornig, so didn't have much hope for a WILD.

I fell asleep and had a really long non-lucid. I'm in some town, duing bunch of stuff, visiting deceased relatives and other usual stuff. I'm going to the bus station, looking at signs, which bus goes from K to NZ. I finally ask 3 bus drivers chatting in front of one of the buses. he point to one behind him. I get on and looking for money. I'm pretty sure I don't have any and I'm sure they don't take plastic.

I look in my ID folder for some cash, then in my valet. Finally I find some bills, folded into tiny squares. I unwrap them and marvel at them. (I do collect money IWL, but coins, not bills). In my dreams, I often find coins in the dirt. When I see bills, they are usually with rare design, like a collectors edition and I always have hard time finding one I'm willing to part with and pay for whatever I need.)

So these bills are no different. The are all 'pretty' and I don't want to pay with them. I finally find a 1000 bill and give it to the driver. before he can complain, I tell him it's not a huge bill, he can give me just 4x 200 back and some change. So he does that.

Here is where my mantra (I see something I get up) kicks in and I get lucid. I think to myslef "hrm, I see something, this could be a dream".I tell the driver, but he doesn't care. I wake up.

Nothing interesting. Dreamed I was working at a restaurant/pizza place waiting tables... or I was supposed to be, anyway. Instead, I was messing around with my laptop and webcam and trying not to get caught goofing off. I came up with a recipe for Spaghetti Carbonera which became the house special, and I had very specific instructions for cooking it that I passed on to the rest of the cooks.

10/4/12

1. My school orders us all to make beautiful and elaborate designs for the new architecture of each classroom.

2. I am either an FBI agent or a friend of one. Me or my friend is talking to a convict who broke his parole. A birthday party is going on in the park. I un-cuff him and say something that angers him. He takes a knife and slices the large, elaborate bouncy house. The exit zipped up. Instead of going after the criminal, I jump, unzip the bouncy house, and enter to save the kids. I get all of them, and forensics checks it. They deflate it totally to ensure the absence of bodies. But then, when it is used again in its inflated form, the bloated body of a pregnant woman slides out.

In this dream, I was only lucid for the last portion of my dream. I'm still a beginner, so I am still trying to be able to see the difference between a regular dream vs a lucid dream.

Anyway, the dream is about me going on a fishing trip. The boat was probably about a 32ft dingy, and the water was so clear, I could see past the vastness of it all the way to the very bottom. Now I can't recall everything, but here is what I do remember.

I remember setting out into the lake to go fishing. There were 2 other men on board with me. I couldn't make out the faces even though I tried, their faces were a blurr. I remember the other guys caught some fish, and I wasn't catching anything. One man started to rock the boat back and forth out of excitement over catching a fish. The other man started to get excited as well, so the boat started to rock even more. You all know that old saying, "Don't Rock The Boat"? Well, I ended up falling into the water. Instead of being able to swim or float, I sank to the bottom like a rock. At this point is where the dream became lucid. As I sank, I kept thinking to myself, "OMG, im gonna drown!" This is when I realized it was a dream, and I gained complete control, and was able to then breathe under water! LOL! I decided to walk along the bottom and watch everyone fish, realizing, there really weren't that many fish to be caught in this particular lake. So, I decided to get someone to stock it with fish. I then began to swim around with the fish. Picked one out, grabbed it with my bare hands, put it in the boat, and called it a day!

So far this is the first real lucid dream ive had and could control. I am still a beginner, but what's better than practice? Nothing right? Most people who learn how to control their dreams, learn how to fly first, I decided I wanted to learn how to breath under water first, which was extreamly cool!!

Please let me know what you all think about this one too. I do enjoy the feed back!! Thank you!!!
Tucan69

Under some kind of pagoda, in first grade and being taught the quadratic formula. While lying on the bench, I become lucid with no transition at all. I walk out into a neighborhood and decide to take on Advanced I again. I summon from all four pockets. I get 3 lumps of WHITE coal and a lump of black coal. I look at the black coal and it looks weird, so I examine it after unsuccessfully trying to crush it, and it's a ...dress that folds up to look like a lump of coal. Very funny.

After walking around the neighborhood looking for coal, I decide to go for Advanced II, so I backtrack and walk over to a tree next to the pagoda. Summoning a pocketknife, I draw a few firework explosions by carving into the tree, and indeed fireworks do go off, like they had earlier in the dream. Yes!!

The rest of the dream was spent exploring and this strange event with a girl who hated me:

When she asked me what I was doing, ironically I answered with, "I'm just walking around without a worry or care in the world," when really there were about 5 homework assignments I didn't do. Then she said she loved because of that and I was thoroughly creeped out.
