This one came completely out of the blue. Did not expect it at all since my last lucid knocked my recall out for about a week.

Anyways from what I remember I was falling, after being fired out of a cannon by my friends. I was falling fast and I looked below me to see some play equipment, this made sense since I was at the park. The play equipment was a metal cube with metal bars going across the inside, a little bit like this:

except it was flat on the ground. I decided that falling on that would be extremely painful, this is where I became lucid. Not wanting to feel the pain made me realise it was a dream, how strange. Anyway I didn't have long to react as the metal cube came rushing up pretty quickly. The only thing I could think to do was to fly, the skill that I'd practiced for so long, would it work when I really needed it to?
It did, I slowed down and hovered just a few metres above the metal cube. I breathed a huge sigh of relief and flew over to my friend who was stood nearby watching me fall. He was gobsmacked that I could fly, I landed and walked over to him. He told me it was cool and then walked off still slightly amazed. I then lost lucidity and remember no more.

I've decided it would be useful to put the conditions under which I slept so I can try and find what works best for me so here goes:

Time I went to bed: 11.12pm
Listened to Beta Binaural beats for 20 mins whilst reading
Set up the app Dream:ON on my iPod for the Lucid Rainforest soundtrack
Set the app's alarm to 6am
woke up at 6, turned the alarm off
slept again until 7.30am

DILD to DEILD to FA

I am at my wife's cousin's Karen's house. There is something about my bike being there. I bring it outside. I was thinking about riding it home and leaving my car. I look up and see a bright light. It flew between some clouds and lit them up. I knew this was unusual for an airplane. Some tree branches got in my view as I was walking. I back up and instead of this light I see what looks like 5 or 6 fish swimming in the sky. I say, "What the fuck?!" I look more intently and yes they are fish. They are a play golden color with a redish strip at the gills and blue face with the golden color at the mouth. I can see the scales. I see how the glisten in the eveing light. I stare bumbfounded. All I can say is, "What the fuck? What the fuck? What the FUCK?"

"OOOOOHHHHHH!" I finally realize that I am dreaming. I start to fly but everything fades to black very fast. I am in my bed. I don't move, I clear my mind and try not to think about the dream too much. I only know that I had a really short lucid.

I instinctively DEILD without much thought. I hit SP right away. It last for a few seconds and evens out to a dim hum. I just get out of bed like I would any other time. I know my body is paralysed. It is of course dark and I am blind. I tell myself that there is light coming from the window and I imagine seeing. Slowy I visualize and begin to see the room. (Next time I will visualize some other place. I am tire of seeing my house lol) I open the bedroom door and the world fades to black. There is nothing to grab on to visually. I feel a little panic that I will wake up. I use my meditation calm technique and rub my hands together and focus on seeing something. I come back. But I am really near sighted. So I crawl and focus on the baseboard and hardwood floor. It stabilizes a bit. I come to a dining room chair. (I have no real plan. I actually doubted that I would have a lucid tonight because we planned to get up early. Now that I think about it I did wake up at like midnight and pee. I went back to bed with a mantra "I will remember the dream and become lucid" until I feel asleep. So really that first maybe was a MILD not DILD?)

So I dont know what to do and you never think clearly in a LD. I see a book on the chair.I decide to read it. It looks like colorful recipes or menu. I focus really hard to read a line of text. Finally I make out the words in white. 'CHEESE CON QUESO'. I think I thought I was going the advanced TOTM. (I should have really done it) I decide it will be fun to move the book to the TV and see if I really moved it in real life. (I have no such book) After I place it on/near the TV my head totally clears. I actually believe that I woke up during my lucid. I really think I am awake walking around my house. I go back to the bedroom and lay down.

I have a false awakening. Something about the phone waking me up. There a tv on in the room. I get up on the other side of the bed. Then the alarm clock wakes me up for real.

I would have forgotten this LD if I hadn't had an alarm. So hears my take on forgetting LDs. Sageous seems to question if it was a true LD if you forget it. He says that he believes we are wired to forget NLDs and remember LDs. My thing is if you go from LD to NLD/FA it can be real easy to forget.

OK now I got to get ready. We have to be at the hospital at 5AM. My pregnant wife is to be induced to labor!

I was in a castle in the presence of an evil king, and I was waiting for my turn to be interrogated by him about the theft of some object. Befor me he was questioning other travelers. The first managed to convince the king that he was innocent, but the king's evil advisor convinced him to put him to death because in prison (which was very nice and on a lake) there was no room. Then he fled to a mountain road. Another traveler, ill-natured, and perhaps the culprit is questioned and blamed, again due to the servant, and fleeing he steals three rings located on the stairs of the building. At that point, the royal guards reached him, but he put them on the run with some bats he called for support, and managed to escape.

I did the fluid routine tonight as well. I drank 1 glass of apple juice and 1 glass of milk then I went to bed 22:05
I did not meditate or calmed my mind or anything this night, just to see what would happen and I trusted that I would wake up during the night no matter what! Even though I feared a little that I might close my eyes and the next thing I know it would be morning. But no... This night worked out as good as the previous night.

I have always convinced myself that my meditation routine before bed makes my dreams more stable and not chaotic and random and therefore easier to become aware of. Well I was right....

[COLOR="royalblue"]I had a really weird dream about me and my friend Axel doing parkour in an old city very high up. But I felt no fear I just jumped over buildings like nothing. I had some more dream scenarios here but I can't remember them because I didn't note them.[/COLOR]

I woke up 01:15 and since I sort of knew it was the first REM period I tried to DEILD. I thought to myself "Ok now I am going to wait 10 seconds and then if I feel different I will try to put my finger through my hand!". Nothing happened and I didn't do a reality check (maybe I should have). I was too tired to record my dreams so I fell back to sleep.

[COLOR="royalblue"]I were in a school and I think I were with, ehm you probably don't know what it is but in Sweden we call it "Jönsson ligan"(The Jönsson league) . We were going to crush a wall a steal a safe. But nobody did their job so we failed. Although my dreaming self changed and I was myself and I saw my old french teacher, which I hate.
He gave me the only F I have. My dad were with me for some reason so I told him "That is Nils...". And my dad answered "But he looks like a good teacher, well dressed and a smile." "I don' t care dad! He sucks!".
I walked towards him and said "Hi do you remember me douche bag?" and he just did his annoying giggle and said "No I don't who might you be?" "It's me Christian from your class in 2012" but he answered "Is this a joke the year now is 1999". o. O
I walked inside some other classroom and see my old classmates and I was aware enough to realize that I was dreaming.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]I remember that I said something witty can't remember now though, and everybody laughed except the teacher. I started talking to two hot girls.... Lucidity gone. :roll: (I never learn)[/COLOR]
The dream started to fade and I was staring at my eyelids. I tried to DEILD, nothing happened so I went up and recorded my dreams. The times was now 04:08

[COLOR="royalblue"] I remember talking to an hot girl from my previous class, but I can't remember about what anymore.
Then I was looking inside my wallet and saw that my legitimation and bank card were gone and I got super nervous and knew that my dad was going to be furious. I have some notes about a talking Donald Duck and a TV but can't remember that anymore either. Then I woke up 05: 55 and closed my eyes, I thought about writing down my dreams and for some reason I started to dream that I did write them down but I didn't... So all I remembered upon awakening was some keywords.

UFO - I dreamed that I saw flying aircraft that didn't looked man made.
Devil - I dreamed that I was fighting the Devil.
HIMYM French - This dream was interesting because I heard French! I were out with Ted to buy a present to Barney and some woman started to talk French with Ted I asked the woman what she said but then she just said Tralablablaolala in french accent. Not sure if I really heard French at first though since I don't speak it myself, I might have heard stuff that my brain remember though.[/COLOR]

And I finally woke up around 07:13 to go to the bathroom :)

This night's dreams were too chaotic for me to become lucid in, so the next night I am going to do my regular meditation routine and see if I notice any differences.

Sentient Jaguar

Suddenly I spot a mouse running along the side of the room. This mouse has been hiding in our house for a while now, so I'm really excited that we'll finally get a chance to catch it. I send Mom to get a plastic cup or something that we can use to scoop up the rodent. While she's gone, I try to grab the mouse with my bare hands, and I'm surprised to find that I succeed. I guess mice aren't really as fast as I've always thought they were. But then suddenly I realize that it will be able to bite me, so I rewind and try to catch the mouse again, this time in a slightly safer way that keeps its teeth away from my hand. Then Mom comes back with a square Tupperware container, I drop the mouse inside, and we snap on the lid. Excitedly, I run upstairs, showing the mouse to all of my family members on the way, mostly just to see their scared/grossed-out reactions when they realize what it is. Then I go out onto the back porch. In one motion, I take off the lid and flick sharply the container, so the mouse goes flying out into the yard. I watch the grass sway as it runs through the lawn, and suddenly another larger animal comes out of the night to start chasing the mouse! It's a squirrel!

Wait, aren't squirrels herbivores?

Oh, oops, trick of the light, it's actually a jaguar. They're native to North America, you know. I realize this jaguar could be dangerous to me as well, so I hurry back inside the house. Then I realize our pet dog is still leashed outside, so I slide open the door and start calling her back. She seems interested by the jaguar, but with my sister's help, we manage to get her back inside. A few moments later, I notice that the dog is back outside, and I wonder what happened until my sister says she didn't realize we weren't supposed to let the dog back out again.

Later, I'm hiding in a side room, watching through a window as something walks around in the kitchen. It's walking on two legs, and it's wearing a hat. I think it might be the jaguar. Admittedly, its behavior is rather human-like (at one point, it starts dancing around the kitchen, moving its hips and waving its arms), but this only makes me more nervous. A sentient predator is just that much more dangerous. I decide to go outside and hide somewhere.

Once outside, I decide the roof would be a good place to hide. But once I get up there, I see another shape moving around in the driveway on the other side of the house. It starts coming onto the roof as well. Maybe it's just a person, but I'm not about to wait around and see. I jump back down and go back inside.

Soon after, my parents introduce me to the man in the kitchen. Turns out it was just a neighbor. And the person outside is his son. Oops. I hope they don't think I was rude.

Clock Bomb

There's a bomb that looks like a clock. The second hand ticks from number to number, and the numbers go dark once the hand reaches them. Each tick is accompanied by a kind of high-pitched squeak. Halfway through the countdown, I wake up to realize that the squeak is coming from an insect or a bird (or something) outside my window.

Frags:

• looking up terms in the glossary of the fantasy book series I'm currently reading (namely, The Wheel of Time)

Ant and Scott. Dressing Erika?

I told my girlfriend I was gonna give her a treat (are code name her oral sex haha) she got really excited and we went to the bedroom.

I saw my step brother and he seemed to be really happy. I thought what is he so happy about?

Walked into an auditorium where I knew my children and wife were. Not sure what was supposed to be going on there. Turns out to be a hostage situation, with some woman shooting people with a laser. She thought I was a fellow terrorist for some reason, and handed me the laser so that I could continue the shooting while she worked on some electronics behind the lectern. I started sending children out to the toilet, whispering to them how to escape once there. I was just beginning a mass rescue when I woke up from the dream.

I was at my grandparents house, the place i grew up, just looking around at the forest and the sky. It was all very beautiful and serene with birds chirping and all that good stuff. A clear object appeared on the skyline, it was solid but had an etherical quality and I was able to see through it, however it distorted the skyline to the point of making me feel nervous because it seemed like some kind of extraterrestrial ship. Once I was able to clearly see this object, hundreds of them appeared in the sky at once, all of them seemed to be in going somewhere, however I didnt know where. They seemed to be viewing the ground and the living things of planet Earth, picking up things with what appeared to be the same material as the ship was made of, just now it reached down from the main mass of the object. For some reason I knew this was happening all across the planet, I also knew that I was getting on one of those things, just when are they coming to get me?

I was a bit frantic in my lucidity, trying to come up with a way of attracting the attention of one of these ships. As I searched for something to wave at them, all of the ships switched somehow. It was not a physical change, but something else, because in the dream I knew they now were leaving, for good. So I responded in the same type of way as when they signaled me they were leaving, only I pinpointed a ship and said "come here and get me" with no words spoken out loud. I had a seriousness to my telepathic message that was not taken lightly by the ships, they seemed to respond to my call as a whole, but only sending one ship to come retrieve me, which for reasons unknown seemed to concern me, as if i needed more than one ship.

I moved toward the ship as it moved toward me with the grace of a well-thrown frisbee. The ship stopped just above the treeline. It hovered in midair without causing disturbance to the trees or the ground. At this point I was running toward the ship, which was about 50 feet in front of me, still up in the air. There was an old picnic table in front of me and in full sprint I stepped up the place you sit on and then jumped with all my might toward the ship, as it greeted me with its arm to pull me in. I noticed the arm was not made out of anything solid, but was able to pull me up and toward the ship. As I was being pulled toward the ship, I was being blinded by it. I felt content with the fact i was leaving with them, and thats the very moment I awoke from the dream. Woke up, got up around 11 o'clock, but naked except I was wearin my socks. and thats cool cause most the time this floor is cold, stand up, stretch and search for my soul.

Guess mine is back, wasn't to surprised it wasthis morning though, past couple days i only got like 5 hours of sleep each night. Been getting up in the morning with my bf to drop him off at his new job at red zoidburg (lobster XD). I knew this morning if i went back to sleep after dropping him off.... I was gonna dream. Lately I will note i've been keeping the "recalling backwards" in my mind to do to help me to get to sleep, and also trying to remember to not movewhen I wake up so I can retain the dream.

To the dream though before I lose all of it.

Well I know I'm apart of what I'm starting to think has been on continuous fight.

The scene that was just so crazy epic that I couldn't forget was the exit scene........which now come to think of i just had a spontaneous idea.... which maybe the reason for it and im just remembering now but..... the whole recalling your day backwards.... don't suppose that could increase our ability to remember our dreams backwards too? Sometimes thats theway they comeback to me if all i have is the bit before i just woke up.....(i ask because I just thoughtabout it like that and recalled a little more)

So... end scene, one of the top floors of another highrise.... exiting an elevator, I take off straight towards a window and smash through it going several feet out before opening a parachute (reminded me of battlefield to be honest) and floatingdown into obscurity as I woke up.

Beforethat.... I just rememberrunningdown some tunnelwith my mate and him notbeing in the elevatorwhen I took it up.

There are a few blurredmoments of dialogue I cannot recallbut.... it is certainly starting to feel like some Umbrella kind of shit XD

OBE.

The song we were listening to was saying something about "going high", or "go high", something like that. I was dancing to it, and as i was dancing to it, i imagined myself going "higher". The image i visualized was myself upright floating and rising. The weird part was the fact that there was nothing else i saw except myself. Everything else that was around me was just blackness, as if i was in a black hole. If that makes sense.

After a while, i couldn't really see my physical body. The "higher" i went, the more my body started to fade into this glowing white/blueish light of energy. My body was in the shape of a Y, with my arms outstretched.

Similar to this, except everything around my body was black instead of illuminated.


When the song was ending and i tried to "come down", i had trouble remembering who i was. All i could see was my body of energy(which i assumed was my non physical body, my soul) levitating. I literally had trouble remembering who i was and what my physical body looked like. That triggered in my mind, and i felt like i was experiencing something more than just a day dream. It was almost like i was having an OBE, or i had seen my astral body..

Eventually i "remembered" who i was and i snapped out of the vision. When i realized what i saw i was kind of tripped out, and i just sat and thought about it..

I was holding a piece of paper that describes the differences between being a girl and a woman. I don't remember reading it.

I was in a classroom, it was almost the start of class. I went out to the hallway and went to these 2 tables and chairs under a bulletin board. I squatted next to this girl, with my head facing her. Two girls came and stood next to me reading the board. The girl sitting down looked at the girls, then looked at me and gave me a look(that the girls are not worthy?). I gave a look back to her agreeing. She took out a small notebook, wrote down either her address or number and gave the paper to me. The teacher started taking roll, and asked me why am I out there squatting.

I was running with PW hand in hand. When I pull her forward, she would speed up and pull ME forward, making me run faster. That goes back and forth while we run.

08/28/2012
12AM - 10AM

I woke up at 6:45am to get Chris to school, then I fed the fish, got some water etc, and I went back to bed at about 7:30am. I started getting vibrations and buzz sounds almost right away, I was that tired (because I stayed up until 2am, and Danny woke me up at 5:30am to go to work.) Anyway, I felt a couple waves of vibrations, then I completely blacked out. I think staying up that late killed my WILD transition because I was just too sleepy to stay aware. Anyway, I was dreaming about walking around the library at SMU. I was running my hands along all the tables, feeling really nostalgic. I even said to myself "I really miss this place.." Then I thought, this isn't real, it's just a memory! Then I knew I was lucid. I immediately though to try telekinesis, because of Xanous's lucid from yesterday (see, this is another reason I read y'all's journals and workbooks ). The library looked a bit more like a book store, with books merchandized on tables, rather than being lined up on book shelves. One table had 3 small pink books stacked on the corner, so I focused on those. I waked my hand, willing them to levitate, but nothing happened, just like with Xanous's first attempt lol. Then I simply reminded myself that these books aren't actually there, just projections from my mind, so I can make them do anything I want. I flicked my hand, and they jumped up into the air, then plopped back down. That's my first ever LUCID experience with telekinesis (had a few non lucid ones). I was super happy about this, so I went to the other side of the table that had some bigger, heavier books stacked up. I concentrated even harder, then tried to make a shoving motion with my hands, but I suddenly felt a little crippled. I shouldn't have done that, I should have reminded myself again that the books aren't real, so there's no need to do more than a tiny flick of the hand. Doesn't matter that they were bigger books. Anyway, I tried it again, and this time I was able to do the shove motion, and the books moved. But I started feeling weird, kinda dizzy and a little jerky. So I thought about doing something else. There were 2 escalators next to eachother (which looked like elevators. Basically there were 2 elevator doors, but when they opened, they revealed escalators), so I imagined that engineer from Prometheus appearing on the escalator as soon as I opened the door. Instead, it was a tall, naked, shriveled up looking man. I was like ew, no, do not want. That's all I remember about that dream.

Later I had a non lucid where the president of america (it was Bush jr though) came up with the idea to make August have 30 days instead of 31. His logic was so that the year would have an odd number of days instead. So I was throwing a fit because "365 is ALREADY an odd number. What a stupid fucking president." I was also mad because the cakes I made on Sunday now had the wrong expiration date on them, because he took one day away from the month.

- False Awakening to SP

Had a random false awakening in which I immediately knew I was asleep. SP came right then and went by as it normally does. The only difference is this time, towards the end I could feel my body slowly hovering above my bed higher and higher. It was fun haha. Once the vibrations went away and I opened my eyes, I was back on my bed. Did a nose plug RC which worked like a charm. I got up and did a couple more nose plug checks until I opened my door and went to my hallway. My mom walked by looking like a robot with no emotion on her face. She didnt say anything to me or look at me she just walked by and went into the bathroom. Kind of creeped out by this, I went to the door and said "I might be going out in a bit okay?" to see if I would get a reaction. She then replied with a quick "alright" so I walked away. In my living room my dogs jumped off my couch and ran to see me. They felt extremely lifelike as usual. I kind of got carried away and kept playing with them for a while. When I got bored I went to my backyard balcony and flapped my arms to fly up like a bird. I flew to the top of some trees and looked at the leaves trying to notice all the details I could. It looked just like it should in real life. When I realized that the arm flap method was making me fly very slow, I went back to my house. I tried opening doors and closing my eyes to change the dreamscape, but could not figure it out Jumped up through my roof and started flying without knowing where I was really going and I eventually woke up.

I've been waiting and hoping for a new Ipod4g so I could do voice memos. I got it finally and I got my first dream recorded dow on it, the beauty of this is that now I can store and see my recordings.

However I nearly blew it. I had a false awakening this morning and I recorded everything in the dream. I did the same after I woke up a second time. I haven't had a false awakening in a while. And I could hear my radio in the BG in the dream which added to the realism of the dream. The only problem was I found a few things wrong; I was sleeping in a futon in the living room (we used to have one), I somehow materialized a book in front of me and was able to write everything down but the fact that I wrote it down left me in question, and the recording I did sounded differently and that woke me up. I need to do RCs when I wake up from now on, I should've been doing them from the start. And after next week I'm going to dive into WILDs again. In the meantime I have a new toy that I'm going to frack around with. I'm going to try a timmed recorder so I can literally tell my self that I am dreaming from the out side. I'm a light sleeper and I can hear things clearly in my sleep from the outside, so I should take advantage of that. 4:00 should be a good time to get started on.
