Methods: woke up and helped Davey get ready for school; went to the bathroom; performed 5 or 6 SSILD repetitions; was resting in bed repeating the alphabet mentally.

Account:

Fascinating, the most unique experience so far.

I lay down in bed, to finish sleeping. I thought I might as well try some techniques while I was at it. I performed 5 or 6 cycles of the SSILD technique, combining the different parts for an additional minute or so, and then went on to start mentally repeating the alphabet. The alphabet thing was just a spontaneous experiment of mine, to see if I could start a WILD with it. Apparently it didn't work, and I eventually fell asleep.

I awoke, and remembered to do reality checks. I tried plugging my nose, and I could still breath. I tried getting up, but my body was stuck in bed. I remembered from the notes on the forums, that when finding yourself in sleep paralysis, you can try to get out of bed by rolling off of it. It also mentioned that this often results in an OBE, or "out of body experience". Some of those on the forums consider the idea almost spiritual, but as far as I've seen it's just a special type of lucid dream, in which your dream-creating mind simply thinks that you have no body. (presumably since you're attempting to "roll out of bed" with an immobile body) Anyhow, I began to try rolling out of bed. As I did this, I felt a sensation of weightiness on my left side, as I felt very clearly the other time. Aware that a doubtful thought would likely wreck it, I tried not to think that it wouldn't work, so I focused on the feeling of weightiness and encouraged it as I continued my attempt to roll out.

An incredible thing then happened. My body, which had felt locked-in, suddenly "broke free", and my vision became slurred, and started feeling delayed. As I "rolled out of bed" completely, it felt as though I began to float, and my vision then changed in a way that I've never experienced before. Rather than a continuous stream of visual data, my vision had changed unexpectedly into some kind of "snapshot mode", in which every two-thirds of a second or so, I would get another "snapshot" of wherever I thought my head was turned. Amazed at this, I just looked around for a few moments, taking in the incredible experience. I then remembered what I'd heard on the forums—that in cases like this you can often see yourself still in bed. I turned around, and I saw myself lying there. I tried not to get too excited, as I looked very closely up and down my body, trying to gather any details I could find on it. Nothing that unusual. It looked like my body, while resting, except with my blanket laid loosely on top. Because of this I couldn't see my face, which is fine since that would feel very strange anyway. I then focused on the feeling of my body again. And I realized that I couldn't feel one, and that I could turn and move around just by willing it. I then noticed something strange with my eyes. They had an odd and distinct feel to them. I noticed that every two-third's of a second—in synch with each "snapshot of vision"—I'd feel a sensation in both of my eyes that is similar to when they are strained or are moving around rapidly. I figured that this must just be the movement of the eyes that occurs during REM sleep, and that, in this special type of lucid dreaming, it was somehow caused to match exactly with the displaying of images within my dream. Anyway, I then went for the door, which my dream had correctly understood to be closed. I opened it up somehow, and then went down the hall, to begin my descent downstairs. But unfortunately I never got there.

I woke up in bed. I did my test, and I could still breath. I sat up, this time feeling my body, and it felt like a regular lucid dream. I walked towards the door, opened it, and my vision immediately faded.

I woke up, did my test, and I could still breath. I sat up again, and got out of bed. I walked towards the door, opened it, went down the hall, started going downstairs, and then my vision again faded.

I woke up, did my test, and I could still breath. I sat up, *again*, and got out of bed, and remembered to just calm down for a second. Looking around, it felt as though the dream had stabilized. I then went on to the door and opened it. I went down the hall, and heard things going on downstairs. I started going down the stairs, slowly, with the intent to not overexcite myself. I made it down, and saw Davey lying on his play mat, which was inaccurately placed in the living room. He was by himself, so I went over and picked him up, both as a help for the dream's stability, as well as to just have my brother with me. He was talking to me, and moving about, and his eyes were sparkling with recognition and happiness. By the level of lighting, it looked like it was sometime in the evening. I slowly walked over to the family room, still holding Davey, and some of my family members were watching something on TV. As I walked forward, my vision began to fade, and I fell to my knees in an attempt to stabilize. Unfortunately, I was either not fast enough, or I didn't perform the techniques correctly. I then checked, and I had actually awoken.

I also had a dream about card games… although it wasn't a lucid dream. It had something about a Munchkin, I think?

I have had a few naps while attempting WILDs, only one was successful.

Non-lucid nap #1:

I was going into some sort of building, some other people was following me and there was soldier squad as well. There was talk while we was walking through corridors that every new creature we encounter gets numbered and that we should do something with that(don't remember much). At some point in the room we have encountered those 'new creatures', soldiers killed them with shotguns and we have added them to the numbered 'list'(can't remember how they looked, i think number was around 350'ish).
Then we went to another room, there was pool and bunch of creatures different from previous ones, they were pink skinny things, had no eyes, tentacles instead of mouth and they had 2 chicken-like, but meaty, legs. Soldiers shotgun'd those too and we have added them to the 'list' as well, one of creatures fell into pool while dying and exploded upon contact with water. After a while, everyone suddenly started dissipating and the dream ended.

Non-lucid nap #2:

I was in my room, watching something on the monitor, it was about discovery of the creatures #352, 353, 354, 355 and that they have lost contact with one of the teams(i guess my dreams were linked somehow). Then i went to different room and there was another video playing on monitor: basically there was a box with insects and such, and a bit of water. Miniature version of creature from previous dream was dropped into the box as well, it exploded after touching water and insects in the box started dissipating, dream ends.

WILD nap:

Starts with false awakening in my room, i immediately confirm that i am in dream due to stuff in the room being positioned completely differently. Mom was in the room and she was doing something with the windows. Suddenly part of the white window curtain separates and flies around like a butterfly! I look at it flying around for some time, and then suddenly mom asks: "Son?", in very very echoed deep voice. I try to respond: "What?", but apparently i can't manage to talk for some reason(probably because dream started fading). I attempt to stabilize it(should have done that earlier), but it's too late and i wake up.

This happened to me pretty recently. I was lying on my RHS and could feel sleep paralysis starting to happen. Before I knew it the vibrations grew within less then a couple of seconds and my vision shot out of my back and I could feel myself separate from my body instantly and I flew across the room in a matter of a seconds. I remember thinking at that exact point I knew I was going to be gone and not anywhere on earth. I somehow woke myself before anything could happen. It was an intense experience that lasted less than 10 seconds maybe.

Aigh't, the past days I haven't had so great recall.
However, I'd a recall last night, I didn't remember it today, but now I was going to bed and saw my dream journal and that I'd written in it. So I thought just to write it up here right now before I shut down the computer and go to sleep.

Bedtime: 02:15
First wakeup (alarm): 06:20
Final wakeup (alarm): 08:43

Yeah.. I kinda hasn't slept very much these days. I happend to go bed between 0am and 3am the previous days. Time's flies by and there is always something that keeps me awake more. Yesterday, I started to read articles about training etc, plus took some pictures of my body, in order to see changes in a few months.

Anyway, now to the dream (that actually had something to do with the topic I just wrote about).

Gym work advice (DREAM)
I was on the computer, on a Swedish forum where they talk about training (strenght mostly). I had posted a thread with massive of pictures of myself asking of tips how I should cut off my fat in order to be able to see my 6pack.
A guy had answered the thread and gave me massive of tips, he said that I would lose the fat I got and gain massive muscles in just a few weeks (maybe a 4-6 weeks).


And that was it.
I did post a thread like that IRL before I went to sleep. Not that many pictures as in the dream though. But IRL, I didn't have any answers to my question/thread.. and still I don't.


OH well, time's now 01:10, I will head to bed very soon. Just updating my score on competition and on my signature first.

I feel myself starting to become lucid. I try to focus, I see a tree branch covered in green leaves above me starting to form with the sky, but I try to change it to a city next to a beach. That has been my goal lately to walk around the beach and enjoy the scenery. I see a road forming through the darkness. It turns into a room and I am now lucid and find my way outside. I am floating which is a first for me, and try to gain full clarity. I am floating towards a few small buildings when I finally catch myself and start to walk like normal. I about run into the house in front of me because I am going pretty fast. I turn off to the left and walk down the side of the road where cars are passing by to find my way to the beach. I can see the water around the edges of the island and buildings as well. It is kinda dim so I try to make the sun come up more to make it really sunny. I start to lose focus so I try a stabilizing technique by rubbing my hands together while I am still walking. It starts to work but because I am still walking I lose my vision and concentration until I fully wake.

The Tower and the Templars
I am in my Fire Valkyrie heading for the moon. I land on the moon and spend some time looking around before I remember plans to meet up with MoSh in a Dark Tower dream. I decide to find a Dark Tower dream and then try to pull MoSh into it. I open a portal while focused on my intent. I go through the portal and find I have ended up in the right place. There is a field of red roses surrounding a tall tower.

Though it has been a long while since I have read the Dark Tower series I know I have ended up in the right place. Now to get MoSh here. I am about to focus on a portal to find MoSh when I realize I am not alone there. I see there is a group of people there with me, quite a few men are standing around wearing the symbol of the Templars from Assassin's Creed. Wtf? I ask one that looks like he's in charge what they are doing there. He says they have had enough of my interference and I am to stop interfering in their affairs immediately. I point at the tower and ask what the fuck he thinks that is. I tell him he is in the wrong dream, this is a Dark Tower dream, not an Assassin's Creed dream, so go away. He says they're going to make sure I don't interfere with them any more. I point at the tower again. Dark Tower dream. You know the poem, Child Roland to the Dark Tower Came? The Stephen King Dark Tower series? So unless the Crimson King is really a fucking Templar they need to just go away. I turn away from the Templars to focus on the Dark Tower dream I want to have. I need to summon MoSh. The Templars are making themselves really hard to ignore. One of them is right next to me talking in my ear practically. He is making threats, saying nothing good can come of interfering with them. I finally said ok, if they are so determined to have my attention… I open a portal and I see Roland of Gilead shooting bad guys with his two big revolvers.

I pull a surprised Roland through the portal, and it closes behind him. He stares at me, I just tell him I can help him, I just need his help first. I point at the Templars and says they are trying to keep him from the Tower. In case he didn't believe me, one of the Templars shoots at Roland with a wimpy gun. I summon up a revolver that is size appropriate to me, Roland and I start taking out Templars. Roland's guns sound like cannons. And it seems he can't miss the target. Templars fall one by one, I even manage to hit a few of them. Finally the Templars are gone. Roland looks like he is about to say something when he sees the tower and he is struck silent. I tell him I know what has been missing when he reaches the tower. I remember to summon MoSh. I open a portal with the intent to find MoSh. A portal opens and I see MoSh wandering around on the other side. I pull him through and point at the dark tower. Roland wants to know who I am and who MoSh is. I summon up a Horn of Eld.

I tell Roland to blow the horn when he gets to the top of the tower. He says there's still the Crimson King. Well then we'd best get moving. So MoSh, Roland, and I start heading for the Dark Tower. There are more Templars in the way. I tell them Stephen King did not write Templars into the Dark Tower series, so GET LOST! Roland doesn't bother with talking… he starts shooting. I toss MoSh a gun and tell him to shoot a Templar. I don't think he is lucid. I shoot a Templar, then he starts shooting Templars. Roland is by far the best shot of the three of us. Roland and MoSh are ready to continue to the tower, but I wake up.

Let It Snow
I am in my best friend's house. I have just spent the night and I am waking up in the morning on my air mattress. Alicia is over by the window and when she sees I am awake she gets my attention immediately. She says it snowed last night. I get out of bed and look out the window. Sure enough the entire neighborhood is blanketed in white. I get dressed quickly and then Alicia and I go outside to check it out. I am surprised at how much snow there is. I decide I need to take some photos of this, after all it isn't that often that Tucson, Arizona gets a significant amount of snow. Alicia wants to make a snowman. I look around at the snow covered trees. The snow has melted some and then frozen again, creating glistening icicles hanging from all the branches. The sun is reflecting off of the icicles creating prism rainbows. It is really very beautiful. I tell Alicia I'm going to take some photos. I head down the road, using my digital camera to take some still shots. I then take some short video clips so I can see the light reflecting off of the icicles. I am with Alicia when we go to a spot underneath an overpass. I am not sure why we are there but I see there is a small pond of water gathered there that has frozen over. Alicia starts ice skating on the pond. I look around the edge of the pond until I find a small trickle of flowing water. There is a fish. There isn't enough water for the fish to survive. It is flopping around a lot. I want to save the fish. I see the water is flowing down a storm drain where there is a considerable flow of water, so I pick up the fish gently and put it down the storm drain into the water. Alicia is still ice skating so I decide to go take some more photos and videos. I keep doing that until I wake up.

NON LUCID
My dreams has become more vivid

Dream 1

I had been at home, where I grew up. Standing in the room I watched through the window south. There there two suns, and it seemed like I am seeing it through a camera lenses, filming it. The picture was like under vintage camera effect, a bit shaky and colourful noise.
I went to the opposite room and seen two moons there in the sky. It wasn't dark, but moons were visible clearly.
I went outside to the balcony and noticed I have a camera, I started taking pictures of the two suns but I could not get the right angle.
I went behind the building and started filming/taking pictures from there. As I was doing it I noticed that one of the suns are getting bigger and bigger. In short time it reached earth and I could see visible, yet transparent plasma ball expanding towards me. It did not have any destructive power, but I got afraid it will touch me so I ran behind the corner and hid in the shadow. I could see a bit of plasma ball heading from the corner, but then it stopped and stayed there. It looked very organic and intelligent, like it knew exactly what it was doing.
I took pictures at it knowing there is nothing else I can do but it expanded no more.

---
Dream 2

I was driving a car in a big city. Streets there unusual big and it had a lot of tram rails to all directions with very little of tarmac for cars. There was buildings in front of me where road took two different directions, but I seemed not to get any closer no matter how long I was driving. I had a feeling police is after me although I could not see any car in sight.

Thursday
11/1

I am in my room cutting a plastic mouse with scissors. Starts out retarded I know. John comes home drunk and throws my brother Michael onto my bed, playing around.

Dream gap

I am in our kitchen now cutting another plastic mouse in half (wtf??). Michael is watching TV when all of the sudden John comes into the kitchen and grabs him and carries him into my room to throw him on the bed.

Dream gap

I am now in the back room sitting on the sofa thing and John asks me if I used the scissors because they were bent up. I told him that I had only cut two plastic mice in half so it wasn't me. I hear mom talking about us going to our dad's Christmas dinner. My aunt Stacey walks in and then my dad does, who I think is there to pick us up. Mom and John start talking about somebody named Hunter and his family in a bad way. She was saying stuff like "I'm glad I'm not going over there with them" and calling them bad people and such. I was getting angry because I knew they weren't bad people. Everybody starts getting angry with me because I don't agree and even dad jumps in at one point which doesn't make sense cause they are at his house. I kept on saying I wasn't going to call them bad people because I knew them and dad grabbed my arm. I pushed him off me and he almost falls over. I tell him that I am sorry because my dad has a really bad temper and I don't want to fuck with him. He acts like it didn't happen and starts searching my pockets to take my phone away like he usually does. Mom tells him to search my room which I definitely do not want to happen. I grab my shit out of his hands, pissed at this point and walk off.
I then wake up in my room as a false awakening. I am in bed when I hear my grandma, Madison and her sister Adrian come in to the house. I am trying to hurry up and finish recording my dream in my notebook. Adrian walks in and gets up on my bed and stands to show me something. I had it all made and didn't want her to mess it up so I told her to get off and stand in front of my bed instead. That's it.

My cousin Madison and other school friends are throwing me a B-day party at my house out in the front yard. I'm pretty sure I am in my underwear the whole time, but with a black blanket wrapped around like a toga. Skipping the first part because I cant remember, I am up in front of all the party goers. We are performing some song, I have a pole with a small round, brown ritual looking drum on top of it sticking in the ground in front of me. I had two long ass drum sticks with the white round padding on top. Everybody else has instruments as well and Madison starts off first with her snare drum. I would come in at some point like I knew what I was doing in the dream. I seriously don't know what we were doing. It seemed we were performing a ceremony (or some shit) and everybody was playing along. I am lying against a stack of tires that were randomly in my yard afterwards, half asleep. Madison comes over to wake me up about some problem she needs help with. I follow her to the front door of my house and my brother Miles shows me that we are locked outside. They said our drunk parents locked us out of the house on accident. I open the screen in the first window of the two windows next to the front door which lead to the living room. I open the window which is unlocked and climb through. I get in and can see my Mom's bedroom door is shut with the light on underneath. I expect a drunk orgy to be going on as I am wondering if all the adults are in there together. I look through the vent above the door and see nobody in the room. I walk in and find nobody but as I'm walking away from the room I hear Miles talking to mom who was asleep, even though I just checked. She didn't know where everybody had went. I travel the rest of the house which looks nothing like my house like the first part did. The dream fades as we are looking for the other parents.

Two Executioners After Me (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

It's a Resident Evil 4 and 5 themed dream, and I believe I'm walking along with someone who's my partner. I ask them to be cautious of the Las Plagas enemies and any other random enemies; I even tell them that killing one enemy a certain way would be easier in the long run.

I believe it was the Las Plagas enemy in the game that wears a red robe, and he wasn't wearing the mask in the pic below:

I realized I'm all alone now, and I'm walking inside of a dark hallway with white floors and gray walls. It seems there was something in this hallway I was going to get, but I don't have really good recall of it.

The dream shifts where I decide to turn around and get out, and there's two Executioners in front of me that have mid-ranged weapons connected by chains.

The environment outside looks like a derived section of the Village section in Resident Evil 4, and the skies are dark brown with thunder randomly appearing. There are dark brown trees with no leaves whatsoever, and the surface is mixed with autumn leaves and a dirt trail in the middle.

I try to see what they're going to do, and it seems they're going to take turns in trying to kill me, so it's basically a 1 vs 1 encounter.

I don't know why the other one in the left is here, but I focus my attention on the one to the right because he flings things large metal start spiked object at me, and I'm deflecting it with something I can't recall too well.

I hear the metal clanks, and I can feel the aggressive force this executioner is exerting when using the chained weapon at me. I bounce back, and I'm honestly having a hard time, and since he has two of these weapons, I have to keep myself aware even after I deflect one weapon.

It took him maybe 2-3 seconds to chain the attacks together before taking a 4 second break to prepare for another chain, and there were two moments where I almost got injured.

I keep deflecting the attacks, literally on my toes having to spatially expand my awareness. I don't know what I do next, but I get used to his attacks and I presume that I would make a final kill somehow before I have to deal with the one on the left.

Cowboy Bebop Final Episode Simulation (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I only remember being at an elevator, pressing the up or down button on the glossed dark brown panel.

The elevator dings, and random men in black suits start aiming their guns at me from both elevator doors.

I duck for cover somehow and kill them off, and I can't really feel myself being injured or anything like that. I try to press the button several times after dealing with this onslaught, and it just keeps going and going maybe 2-3 times....I can't remember anything after that.

I was back in high school and I remembered a lot of the girls I never talked to were noticing me and trying to talk with me. I remember walking by Megan which also gave me a look as I passed by. I walked into Alana which stopped me and just started chatting with me.

Dream gap

I remember following Courtney, a beautiful girl that was in my class, down the hallway because she was leading me to go talk to her or something. My friend Robert was going to class with other students and told me about some show or something he wanted to show me later. I then continued to follow Courtney.

Dream gap

My friends and I want to do a prank or whatever the fuck it is. We would play Staying Alive by the Bee Gees in a set of headphones and each person would dance to the beat as we walked separately. Watch Night at the Roxbury, something like that. I saw my friends doing it as I proceeded down the hallway and even saw Courtney doing it. I tried showing off my moves.

Dream gap

At some point I can't remember where I got it, but I was carrying Levi's awesome rasta bong, its a big one, around the school. It is thick glass with the rasta colors swirling down it and see transparent in between swirls. It has a black outer ring that swirls around the top to the bottom piece which is the base, also black. I get to my class and realize that I have a bong in my hand and can't carry it into class (should've realized it was a dream then). I try to hide it outside of the room, but the bell is about to ring. I proceed to carry it into class without worry of being arrested. I set it down on a chair next to Josey and he mentions he likes it. I tell him it is my friends. I remember looking at the part around where the slider sits in the hole and there is caked resin under the slider. I was surprised how much there really was on there. I then grab it and put it next to my seat as class starts. I'm sitting next to the wall and on the other side is my friend Raigen. The lights are off in the room and Mrs. Hinesly's desk is up at the front ( she is the study hall teacher). The room also looks like a classroom from Hogwarts with stone as the floors and walls and stuff like that (wtf is up with Harry Potter today?). I end up lighting up a blunt or joint during class and the teacher asks who is siting next to the wall. I didn't say anything. She mentions something about how I'm not supposed to be sitting next to the wall, but doesn't even notice the smell or smoke. I wake up sometime around there.

I'm new at this school and within the first day I met this guy in my P.E. Class he came up to me when I had a feeling of de ja vu ...I'd seen him before! Then I remembered me dreaming about him in P.E. But at my old school I asked him if he'd gone there previously, but he declined. What I find peculiar was that he seemed to remember me as well...even though we'd never met. We kinda started talking and I fell for him but feelings faded, yet I feel as though my day isn't complete if I don't talk to him even for just a minute. What can this mean ? Did I confuse the attraction for a crush? Could there be more to this? Is he somehow supposed to be in my life ?

I do not enjoy the feeling of being overcome by my sleep paralysis. It usually gets more intense as I let it go and I have to shake my legs or my body to wake myself up. I just recently started to try and control it. This occurred last night so it is pretty recent. I go into sleep paralysis and I am aiming to use it to emerge into a LD. I feel a pulsing vibration go throughout my body down through my legs. I let it go until I end up in a scene of a movie with Harry Potter and Hermine being apart of it. It is a stupid movie that has nothing to do with Hogwarts or anything of Harry Potter. I am literally behind the scenes at one point where they are using a huge ass cat that resembles my big fat fluffy cat, but except it is tiger sized and has the same features. I remember it striking at me at one point so I try to stay back from it. That's about it. No lucidity but still somewhat interesting.

Invasion of the Seanchan

I'm looking at a plastic model of a hay-filled wagon. Bumping it accidentally, I realize that the hay was manufactured in multiple layers. You can take them off one at a time! This is the coolest thing. Underneath the final layer is a model of Nynaeve. (It's a reproduction of a moment from the Wheel of Time series [except it's not; that I've read, Nynaeve never hides under a haystack].) There's something wrong with Nynaeve's face, though; the proportions aren't right. Oh, well, you can't win them all.

In the hay is a small hair clip with an exquisitely delicate decoration of a flower [or something]. It's part of a set of three that the Seanchan are secretly distributing; when they attach one to your clothing, you come under their control.

Suddenly, a Seanchan voice starts speaking from the platform in the middle of the room! Basically, it's a holdup. They're blocking all the exits and they've come to invade. Many of them lift their staves and shoot a sort of heat-distortion bubble towards one side of the room. Their target is a dark-haired man, who gets up from his chair to catch all of the spells into a pulsing, floating black circle, like an eclipse or a black hole, the size of a soccer ball. I've no idea what it will do, but it looks powerful. The tension builds. . . .

Suddenly, the whole thing breaks out into what seems like a silly, dancing commercial of some kind.

This was an incredible experience. I have always had other sleeping problems but never anything like this. I am at some point asleep. I then am trying to get up from my bed and it is extremely difficult to move. I wake up and then go right back into it. I am getting up from my bed but I can barely hold myself up I feel so heavy, almost dizzy. I make it to the door grabbing onto the wall to hold myself up. I wake again and go in for a third time. This time get up almost with ease and start heading out for my adventure, completely aware I am in a dream. I make my way through my house which is a bit different in some parts of it. I walk though my room into the back room and make my way through the kitchen. I go though the dining room into the living room where I open the front door and walk outside. I am on a sidewalk that is floating over nothing and I look to my right. I see street lights and a tree or two along the sidewalk and can see my house which resemble my friends brick apartment. The sidewalk also resembles his place. I look to my left and I can see over a fence where this almost like a sky abyss of nothing but blue. There is also a huge ball of light which is the sun but looks like it is almost too close to where I was standing. I am afraid of huge planet sized objects or anything really fucking big. I decide to go back inside because it was weird outside and I am in a different house. I don't remember any features but I find my way through several rooms to my Mom's room. She is sitting on her bed with her boyfriend and they said something and I replied but I don't remember much from there. After I fully awoke I was completely amazed by the experience and told both of my brothers which have a hard time believing me when it comes to this sort of thing. That was my first ever experience being lucid. Didn't do any preparing of any sort, it just happened and I nearly shit my pants afterwards.
