I was attempting to WILD last night, so I set my alarm for 7:45 am (lied down to bed at like 2:00 am). But I woke up naturally at 7:30. I remember I was having a dream about me being in prison. I had stolen some credit cards or something, and I was locked away wearing a black t-shirt with gray sweatpants. There was a prison fight going on, we were all crowded around a laptop watching it. Then I was sitting with a friend Kevin D, we had similar shoes on. Now I was walking into prison HR, and the guard on duty was scanning me with something that was disguised as a newspaper. I was complaining about not having a comfy bed, and the staff. Now I'm on the hood of my dad's mercedes, it's whinnying like a horse, meaning it's only on it's back two wheels, and I'm driving it around the prison doing revving the engine to show off for my prison mates. All of a sudden something from space swoops down and takes the car up. I see my friends Mark M and Ben B, I'm surprised to see them. I'm telling them about how there is a low orbit ion cannon in deep space, and how space x had their deep space craft, so it must have been something like that that took the car. We drive around and Ben B starts crying on my shoulder because he doesn't get to play some video game anymore cause he's in prison. We end up at a grocery store, lyrics are being sung "Let me lose my mind".

That is all I remember from when I woke up to WILD. I slept for probably 5.5 hours so it was really hard to fall back asleep. I'll try to WILD after 4 hours next time, and I'm going to take a nap today so we'll see if I can LD them too.

But anyway! On to the lucid dream.

I'm walking through a school with my backpack on, all of a sudden I get an idea "Am I dreaming?". I count my fingers and I count six fingers, I go "No, can't be, if I was dreaming I would be flying", and all of a sudden I lift off the ground! I start flying in the school, but I try not to get too excited. I rub my hands together to solidify the lucid dream, AND IT WORKED! I was clear minded and flying around the school hallway. I wanted to go outside so I imagined a door on the wall and it magically appeared, I thought "That's using your noggin". I struggled to get out the door because I was still flying, but when I got out I shot off into the sky. It looked to be 5 miles high. I started falling a little bit though, but I wasn't scared I knew I was in a dream and nothing could hurt me. I fell hard on the ground but no pain, I just shot back up into the sky, spread my arms out, and started flying like a plane. I could feel the weight of my backpack though so I landed, took it off, and was off flying again. The next time I landed on the ground though I put my ear to the ground and started knocking on the grass (it felt like astroturf), listening to it. It didn't sound special. But all of a sudden I get an itch on my crotch so I scratch it and BOOM I wake up It was 9:45 now and I didn't feel tired at all, I had gone through REM sleep it seems.

I'm staying up now until I can take a nap and try DILD again, I'm addicted now, it only takes one time and you're absolutely addicted.

I was walking down a paved path or sidewalk in some kind of rural or suburban area. I can remember the scene very vividly. (I just woke up, and am now writing about this.)
The path ran along a thin strip of grass and vegetation before turning left and heading up a hill that was lacking vegetation. Also the part of the path that was heading up the hill was not paved, it was just gravel.
There were houses all around and there seemed to be no way to get into the yards. All of the yards had high wooden fences.
I should also note the weather. There were a lot of dark clouds, as though there might have been a storm.
So, I was making my way down that path in said setting when BAM, get lucid out of nowhere. Just when I do, I see someone running down the pathway behind me.
She was a girl, perhaps 14 or 15 years old with a black jacket and these big round glasses. She had black hair and pale, almost albino skin. My first thought was that she was my dream guide, so I asked her.
"Are you Lia?"
"No."
After I asked her this, she began preforming this unusual trick where she would spin and sink into the ground, then a few seconds later reemerge somewhere else.
I decided to do an intelligence test on her, (knowing that my dream characters can be hilariously stupid.)
"What color are you wearing?"
"I am wearing some green and blue, and you are sporting some red." I looked at my own sleeve to see that it was red as she said that. I had noticed her coat had disappeared and she was now wearing a blue and green t-shirt.
The girl continued doing the spin and teleport trick, and one time, I could somehow sense that she would try to emerge behind me and try to scare me.
I gracefully took a few steps forward and turned around, in less than half a second. She tunneled up right behind where I had been standing, and stretched out her arms while saying "boo!"
I wasn't scared or surprised, because somehow I had sensed that before it had happened.
I lost intrest in the dream character and focused on the unusually vivid dream. There was a cold breeze coming from the top of the gravel hill. I just had all of these thoughts, all at once about how unusual this dream seemed. Now I've had a couple times where I've amped up the vividness of dreams to a point like this using unnecessarily amounts of stabilization, but this time, it was natural.
I noticed my legs felt cold. I was probably wearing shorts. It seemed like summertime. I looked once more at the storm cloud. I was just blown away by the detail, the realism, and the perfect shade of blue-gray that the cloud was.
Then, suddenly, the dream started losing clarity really fast. But whatever was making the dream lose clarity had a lot of stability to get through, so in that time, I grabbed some gravel from the path and held it in both hands.
I started to see my room through the parts of the dream that had faded, and I thought I was waking up, when really, I was having an FA. (Ok, and FA into your own bedroom when lucid dreaming, that is just unfair.) I completely False awoke into my bedroom, except I still had the gravel in my hand, and the gravel still felt very vivid and realistic. I think I was still lucid at this point, but had thought I had woken up.
I woke up for real only moments after false awakening into my room. Did a nose-plug RC just to be sure.

So last night I had sporadic dreams, though they we're quite vivid, what I can remember. I went to bed around midnight and due to the fact that on Friday night I got totally leathered, I didn't dream, so hoping to rebound early on, I attempted to WILD. Now I'm wondering if trying to WILD at bed time is detrimental, because I failed to fall asleep for quite some time, at least 90 minutes as I remember the Isochronic tones video ending. Anyhow....

I remember helicopters small remote control helicopters, I had my own and a friend up the street had his own, but I didn't have the remote unit, I waited until he went out and I went to his and took the one he had. I flew my helicopter until I lost control and then I returned his remote unit. Then I remember walking between full sized helicopters, but they had open cockpits with weird controls.

Scene changes, I'm at some water sports resort and I see a jet ski on the waterside, I go up to it to have a look and someone tells me you can hire them for £15, so I go in to hire one and the woman complains that it's nearly closing time, I make a fuss that it isn't actually yet closed, so I should be able to rent one, my logic wins out. However I have to go and get a wet suit from my parents and when I get back, she is not happy. I know I use the ski, but I don't recall it. There were sharks in there somewhere too, but I forget.

We're in a large castle, which is weird as I just read the Dream Views Academy thread on Thursday, though I don't know if this was it, I'm sure it facilitated the dream, but it felt more like Hogwarts and I think we were looking for Harry, I know, but like I've said before, I can't help what I dream, that's what I'm here for. So at one point, we were sat with his father at a dining table and I was asking him if he cared enough to go after him and he wasn't, nor did he care he felt that way. So we left, (we being me and random DC's) to look for him, as we went from room to room, the feeling of urgency grew. After a short search and thinking we'd found him in bed, but it being someone else, a goblin type creature appeared and said he could help, so we went with him through a door that lead out onto a dirt street, at the end of the street, a large group of assorted creatures were playing a particularly violent game of rugby (I was meant to go to the pub with mate yesterday to watch England and Wales, but I didn't go), the goblin creature said we needed to get dirtied up so as to blend in with the crowd, so we got down on our knees and started to wash ourselves in the dirt, I got gravel and sand in my nose and throat which made me cough and choke. I woke up coughing.

Side note to self...Maybe give WILDing a break at bedtime, I'm probably wasting my time anyway. Concentrate on DEILDing and WBTB, at least until you get some progress and achieve at least one lucid dream.

This was one of those dreams abut dreaming. I remember it was lengthy but alli recall now is fragments. My son woke me up by hopping into my bed, so no chance for gentle dream recall.

There was some sort of panel of judges for evaluating dreams and dreaming behavior. I remember arguing with them on some point or other. They seemed strict and conservative.

I'm walking towards my bedroom door, I open it and turn the corner towards the kitchen/living room. I see my dad, He didn't hear or spot me, yet. I quietly sneak back into my room, turn off the light & lock my door. I lay in my bed & grab m y phone, I try to contact my mom with it but it isn't working. I feel anxious & need to contact her because I feel he'll come to my door any second now. Suddenly I see a blueish cell phone light beaming from under my door. I instantly know it's him, he's on the floor staring at me so silently & it's horrifying. I realize he can probably see my cell phones light shining on my face so I quickly pull it under the covers with me to kill the light. It seems as though he is staring at me for an eternity. I pretend to be asleep and then he tries to calls my phone but I quickly turn it off. Then he becomes furious, and starts thrashing on my door. He was actually succeeding in almost getting my door open somehow, so I jump up out of my bed & cover the bottom of my door with my shoes & some of my dumbbells. I think he might try to steal my dumbbells so I move them at an angle to where I'm confident he can't take them. Then he tries to get in again so I get on the floor & lean my back against the door & put my feet against my dresser so he can't push me forward with the door, but I worry he might be able to push both me & the dresser forward. I notice that out of nowhere an old nokia brick cell phone appears next to me on the floor & starts ringing. I look, & it's my mom. I answer & then quickly hang up so my dad can't hear, but I know that now I have her number. I quickly text her, I realize looking into the phone screen that it's like a clear sphere, like trying to text on a screen on a clear green light glowing marble & this makes it difficult. I text her something along the lines of "Help me, lord farqwad snuck into the house and is trying to get me!". At this action he seems to dissipate whilst making angry defeated noises.

One night I had this crazy dream about being attacked by a tiger. To me it was so very real. It was like I was awake and actually going through all of this. I remember, in my dream, I was walking down a rural road and across the street was a large park. Next to the park it looked like there was a zoo there with all kinds of exotic animals. All of a sudden a bangled tiger jumped out of the bushes at me. I started to run to the nearest house. Before I could get to a house, I jumped into a giant bush hoping to get away. Unfortunately there were two other people there and they gave my hiding spot away. Immediately the tiger tried to pounce on me and came charging through the bush. But something or other was keeping the tiger from getting me, so that I could get a head start on running away. He was so close to me in that bush that I could feel his warm breath on my face. I then ran to the nearest house and was let in by a gentlemen. I still, to this day, cannot remember what he looked like in my dream.

I started to tell him my story about why I was running and what I was running from. All of a sudden the tiger pounced through the kitchen window and came at me. Before he takeld me to the ground, I was quick enough to snag a huge butcher knife that suddenly appeared on the kitchen counter. When the animal jumped on me he threw his weight into the knife. It stabbed him straight through the heart and he died instantly. I then woke up shaking all over and sweating so badly. I thought I was still dreaming and had to wake my wife to make shure I was awake.

I would really like some insight on this nightmare. I keep going over, and over, and over it in my head and still cannot make any sense of it. Can anyone tell me what this dream means? Can someone interpret why I drempt of being attacked by a tiger. Not to mention when he found me in the bushes with all of those other people, he couldn't get to me, but I could smell him and feel he warm breath on my face. Please let me know what you all think this could mean.

Thank you,

I was walking and talking with a DC about politics. I thought, that it isn't common for me, count fingers and tried to went through the portal to Egypt. I went for a long time, and then my dream body desided to through myself down. I saw a blue light, and then something burst like baloon. It was very very very unpleasant feeling and i awoke.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Nap #1(fragment):

Can't recall much of dream but at one point i was on my computer browsing something and i became spontaneously lucid for a bit but then i lost it for a short while searching for something and then was like 'Why i am doing all of this, i am dreaming after all!', and i went to balcony to start working on doing some of my goals but dream faded out before i could get to it.
I tried to DEILD back to it after waking up, but was unsuccessful.

Nap #2(fragments):

There was video game, slasher of some kind that looked somewhat like Devil May Cry. There were three characters, one looked similar to Dante from Devil May Cry series, other similar to Nero from Devil May Cry 4, and they were working in pair. The third character was girl in full heavy white armor with metallic wings and she had different path, but in the end all three were teaming up against final enemy. After playing it i was searching it's OST on YouTube.

Dream Fragment 1: I'm a male DC struggling to survive in a dystopic world. I distinctly remember thinking about Lost and something similar to but not The Walking Dead. It's like I was trying to narrate my own story but couldn't decide where to make it take place. Me and a few others are making our way across a hazardous area and I lose my brother (though I think we meet up again later). Later, I see a little girl wandering around alone. I go up to her to help her, even though I know I should be keeping on, and there's someone ahead of me waiting. She doesn't know where her parents are or anything, so I take her up to a house and put her inside.

Dream Fragment 2: My grandma on my dad's side has passed away*, and I find out that I inherited all of her things. Me and my mom are in a sad state as we go to my grandma's room to spend the night. There's a big white bed, and some gifts from well-wishers, and there's a package from my grandma. I can see a letter inside and kind of want to read it, but mom seems to want to just go to bed.

*: She's long since passed away in real life.

Fun night, despite not sleeping much.

Krueger Propaganda (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I spontaneously become lucid in the middle of a somewhat hectic situation that I can no longer remember. I decide to fly away.

I start from my house and fly over the trees, the back road, and the forest. All along the way, there are Freddy Krueger posters EVERYWHERE with strange and violent quotations on them. "Hmm, I wonder what he's up to," I murmur to myself. I fully expect him to show up and try to cause trouble. He'd better stay away if he knows what's good for him. ((It is a running joke among my friends that I was married to Krueger and am now divorced.))

I am flying Peter Pan style, and it is quite an exhilerating feeling. I pass by a lot of beautiful scenery. At one point I stop to talk to some people, but my recall is really hazy and I don't remember what happened next. Sadly, I know there was a lot that happened afterward, I just can't grasp it at the moment.

Demon Opression (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

My campus has been overrun by demons who are under the guise of Indian women. I am standing in the lobby of my dorm, preparing to leave. A little girl, around 11, is trying to get in the elevator. I know that once on the elevator, it will draw people in to the demon's dimension, making escape almost impossible. But the girl is convinced that she has to get upstairs to find her sister. I get on the elevator with her, determined to protect her.

We get upstairs and the demon women spot us as soon as we step off the elevator. I grab the little girl and haul her down the hallway, keeping her away from the demons. We never find her sister, but we somehow make it back outside.

Later I am riding to California with my friends to start anew. The world is somewhat post-apocalyptic now; dark and dangerous. As we are leaving, I see my German professor chopping firewood in a temporary camp near the school. I am surprised that he now has a lot of intricate tattoos going down his body.

I found a mine full of TNT-blocks, which in this case is a very precious mineral. My mine is placed underwater in a pocket of air. I dig a block out and take it with me to a "meeting" where I try to sell it. To get out of the pocket of air, I must put tension in my back muscles and jump. This causes me to jump incredibly high, into the water above the pocket. At the meeting, other than the TNT block, I also show some other kind of TNT-"product" which is blue and can be split into more parts.
I give a block of TNT to a man as a gift and get another person to approach him, acting like the person wants to buy the TNT from him: "I don't have much, but can I get it for $50,000?". This is to trick the man into thinking the TNT is much more valuable than it really is, so that I can sell my TNT to him for way more than it is worth later.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing some multiplayer game(most likely with LV) that looked like Deathtrap Dungeon, there was lots of hidden stuff and secrets, and ofcourse traps, and teamwork was required to go through that. At one point i got sleepy and game got easier when i was sleepy.

Dream 2(fragments):

I had mansion apparently and i was exploring it and trying to figure out where everything leads, then i met some kid that was visitor and he had some kind of abilities. Later i was in some sort of dungeon that had alot of water parts that i had to swim through. I was going in circles but then i found different passageway that leaded into room with statues and lever, that opened exit.

Dream 3:

I was playing some kind of RTS with LV, the map was split into more or less circular sectors by terrain walls and there were passages randomly scattered through some of those 'walls'. For resources there was a tree with ridiculous amount of resources in it at the start point of each player, plus a few trees in spots for expansion bases. I was teching all the way through the tech tree, building various buildings and units but i didn't had much of army, also i was not being attacked through whole time. I even decided to check out different branch of tech tree but units available there were mostly just starting units, so i cancelled idea and instead went scouting. I shortly found LV's base and it was small, much smaller than mine, but seconds later there huuuge army coming for my base. I built a few tanks and artillery cannons(which looked like they were made of LEGO or something), but there were just too many enemy units coming. I lose and then dream skips.
Then i was somehow adventuring through the world that looked like it was inspired by star wars. I was going from planet to planet and doing various tasks and stuff and talking to various humanoid or non-humanoid characters. There also was a number of sides too, including empire, but there was also weird side that were 'guards' of some kind and they used pretty much normal swords compared to everyone else who used more futuristic stuff. I also was visiting some green slug-person in some cave and trying out some weird food, like some weird plants or something, which was unexpectedly rather delicious. Later there was battle of some kind and after that dream ended.

The dream started with me already in a car. I looked to my left and this older lady I don't know was trying to get this little deer to settle down. He was stuck upside down thrashing about. I reached over and caressed its head, talking to it softly. It immediately flipped around upright and hopped in my lap!

Its hard to remember the middle part of the dream. I know that I was going to various public places and the little fawn stayed by my side the whole time, occasionally nibbling on my fingers.

We were cutting across the front of a department store on the sidewalk, when all the sudden a dozen people jump in front of us holding out there arms going "OMG a cute dear aqsjdhflakjshdf" etc. charging at us. Somehow I knew the little fawn would be okay and kept walking. It ducked and dived and maneuvered around every person, and once the crowd was behind us, came up and nuzzled my leg. I had to stop and hug it for awhile.

The sidewalk turned into a path leading up a hill to a section of woods on the other side. As we climbed, and it hopped around in front of me, I was filled with that sad sort of happiness. I knew the little fawn was going to leave me.

We crest the hill, and sure enough waiting for us in the woods was the perfect deer family. I break down crying. The little fawn comes up to me concerned, but is obviously distracted by the deer in the woods. I hug it one last time, and it licks my face before prancing towards the deer. The little fawns immediately begin running around playing. I'm still crying, sad that the fawn is leaving and from the happiness that it found a family. The adult deer look at me and thoughts are exchanged between us, I don't remember what, and then the dream fades out.

I woke up with tears on my face

I've been improving upon my dream recall and now even on nights where my dreams are very non-lucid/sporadic I can still remember a lot.

3/13/13
I was fighting with some guy with zombie-like minions and was in the back of his house. He had a platform that would lower into a basement/underground thing to get into the house. There was also a giant magic gun in the air shooting me. Eventually I got a hold of this magic sticker in the house. If I put the magic sticker on a container it would magically make that container refill with whatever it contained indefinitely. I drank a bunch of "bottomless" liquor using the sticker on the way to this gas station, while thinking of ways to profit from this. I settled upon the idea of buying a vial of LSD and putting the sticker on it so I could have free acid for life. (I've never really even done acid) At the gas station I was meeting this girl in the convenient store. We met and hugged and I told her I was drunk and she would have to drive, when suddenly she turned into my friend Joe, and was also drunk. Joe drove my car very recklessly and ruined the transmission almost. Also the brake pedal and e-brake pedal fell off and I had to reattach them before hopping on a highway after exiting a dense city. We went flying through the air like in those crazy video game races. We were going over beaches and stuff when suddenly I was at a restaurant having my order taken. I recall the waitress having manlike arm hair. I was with my friend Nick and we were all discussing this new fashion trend to shave off sideburns really high. Then I woke up.

fitful sleep tonight. various fragmented dreams. not well recalled. content is quite shallow except for the last fragment.

------------

my father and i are driving in the country at night. in a recessed area on the side of the road sits a dollhouse & a wicker shelf that was in my childhood bedroom. the shelf is full of stuffed animals -- i remember one was a dragon. i take some of them with me because i understand i will be going to the hospital soon.

i am then at "the hospital"; it's a distorted version of the townhouse i lived in most of my life. the lights are off. the stuffed animals aren't with me. there's nothing hospital-like about the surroundings; it's just the main floor of the townhouse. there are 2 bro kind of guys visiting a middle aged woman who has tuberculosis. they talk about how she is defecating blood.

i decide to escape. i am suddenly in bright, sunny, warm-hued "downtown toronto" -- nothing like downtown toronto really, just big glass buildings and an immense urban atmosphere -- adrenaline rush, i'm running through beautiful streets, i crest a hill on a cobblestone road and i yell "santa maria! santa maria!"

i am back in the "hospital", i don't remember how this happens. i'm in the darkened townhouse kitchen. there are two nondescript tall men watching me -- the guards. i understand i am here for mental reasons. i think i am fine, but i accept my hospitalization with equanimity. i open the fridge and eat some kind of pastry with a raspberry on top. i hear a voice narrating lil wayne's current medical situation. i wake up.

later: something about a girl at school, i don't quite recall what she looked like - generic teenage girl, probably around 13? she's very bubbly and excitable, a little obnoxious, but she takes an interest in me and i'm glad that someone finds me nice to be around. we are rehearsing something and she starts rubbing her body against mine. i am a little uncomfortable. i point out that it seems dirty; she laughs. next we are talking to each other on a bus. i remember that her backpack is very focal in these scenes. it's a jansport style backpack, mainly white with yellow, lilac and blue thunderbolt designs. we get off the bus with some of her friends and we are in a dark city area. one of her friends is wearing - hard to describe this - platform shoes with the platform made of hard black plastic; they are hollowed out in increasingly smaller concentric circles, like the pattern of a mining pit - goes clear through to the other side. i remember thinking this is really cool, actually i still do. we walk through a bridge-tunnel. we realize that the bridge has no railing and is thus illegal to walk on. the girl comments that she should have removed her shoes (they have a specific name -- it's very german -- i understand that its named after the guy who invented the pattern) and now the people on the adjacent, legal bridge would know she walked on the illegal bridge, because the opening of the tunnel has the same pattern as her shoes. i find this remarkable. a boy with us comments that he's seen the same pattern in greece and i understand that i'm in some kind of european country. the atmosphere in this scene is very nice, everything's lit by soft incandescent streetlamps.

then i am in a distorted version of a thrift store i frequent. my stepmother is getting married, today, and she wants a pink themed wedding. she gives me 5 dollars to buy a dress and she also wants me to look after a young girl (age 3-5, black hair, olive skin). i notice that the girl is wearing lipstick and eye shadow and i think to myself that her father is awful for making her look like a slut. i ask her if she likes wearing eye makeup and she says yes. i can't find a pink dress at the thrift store so i go to a version of the victoria's secret pink store. i find something and i try to steal it but i fail somehow. then an employee asks us to leave. i am frightened for a moment but then i realize it is just because the store is closing.

then i am inside of a south park video game (??) it looks terrible, like some awful game you'd see on newgrounds in 2005 or sth. top-down view, white background (snow) with a grey line representing the road and brown blocks representing buildings. i understand that it was made to be terrible on purpose. i have to go somewhere in the game but every time i try to go there i am transported back. this goes on for a very long time.

finally i return to real life. i am in a different store. this one has bright wooden floors, white walls; it is very open and spacious. the girl and i are standing in front of a white shelf which houses a scattered assortment of strange toys. she takes interest in a toy which seems to be some kind of japanese thing based on jersey shore?? i realize i have spent a very long time in the video game and i should have returned the girl by now; my stepmother must be wondering where she is. the girl's face has changed - her eyes are very dark and there is a swollen red area under her eyes (similar to the famous picture of omayra sanchez -- if you're going to look this up be warned that it is disturbing).

the room has darkened. my stepmother appears. the girl is lying on the ground. stepmother is angry. she tells me that the "death squad" has been informed and people from all over the world are searching for her. i break down crying. i understand that the police will be coming to talk to me.

i walk over to the edge of the room and beyond a short banister is a beautiful landscape. it is hard to describe its beauty in words. i am high above the ground; i can see the peaks of mountains and clouds moving through the deep & light blues of the sky. below me, miles below me, are vast rolling hills and lush greenery. rivers flow through the land. the immense scale is very very difficult to describe. i understand, somehow, that this is Iceland. i want to get closer. there is a very thin wooden tree trunk that i jump over the banister onto. the landscape more beautiful now and I understand that this is not only iceland but Heaven. i almost cry.

i know the police are coming for me soon and my life will be awful. i debate whether to let go of the tree and fall into heaven, or face real life. heaven is so beautiful. i let myself slip a little but then i grip the tree again.

i wake up.
