Dream - Lucid

I was with Jake when I spotted a small gumball machine, one of the globular ones with the glass sphere containing the gumballs. I can't remember if I put money in the machine or not, but I twisted the silver knob, and I heard a couple of small gumballs come out and hit the small flap you have to open to get them.

Looking again at the gumball machine, I noticed that the gumballs went down into this long metal tube with the flap being at the end of the tube. I picked up the machine (it was small enough to sit on a table top) and tilted it forward so the gumballs would come out into my hand. I though I was only getting two, and at first I only got a couple to spill out into my open hand, but then a bunch came out really fast, and I ended up with about ten in my hand. They were all different colors; I remember towards the end a couple of purple ones coming out. This was way more than what I thought I was getting. I wanted to give some away, maybe Jake would take some. I just wanted two.

Deadpool

I remember being chased by something or someone and thinking "man if zombies show up I'm gonna go nuts". They show up out of nowhere and I'm running through a mall. When I got outside I saw hundreds of them. Jumping off buildings gnawing and people and all sorts of things.

The bad news was everyone was gonna die. The good news was, I just so happened to be deadpool. I pulled out two katanas and ran directly into the crowd and went on the offensive. Blood was flying and heads were rolling. Eventually I met up with some people who weren't infected and they were filling my trail of blood.

We arrived at a kitchen and once everything was dead, decided to take a break. Someone was hungry, but I was trying to tell them that they'll probabaly get infected from the food.

Also, my swords were weird. They were semi translucent....like they have been in some of my lucids.

I remember bits and pieces, and they make no sense at all because it was such a bizarre dream:

There was a little boy, about 10 - 11 I assume, talking to his neighbors telling them that he and his family were moving.
Then he told his best friend, who happened to be the blue mouse from CatDog, named Winslow
(I guess someone was tracking them or something because they were moving because someone was going to come kill the little boy.)
Then on his way home from his nieghbors he saw a tv on in his "clubhouse" and he looked inside and say a homeless guy, but it was a mangled rat, and told him he could stay because they were moving anyways.


That's about all i can remember except for facts about the little boy, he had brown hair with vivd green eyes that you could never forget.

Only got about 3 hours of sleep last night so no real dreams to speak of. However I did wake up to my daughter crying thinking I was in my friend J's house and was pretty disoriented for a moment. Pretty sure that was due to thinking about wanting to hang out with him soon. Just writing in an effort to correct my recall.

I was going somewhere with my friend. (I don't know if we both had the same destination.)
Suddendly there appeared two guys. One of them grabbed me, I hit him somewhere and simultaneously asked my friend about a certain spell combination. He knew it and with this spell I wanted to hit the guy to the other end of the street. But he managed to stop after some meters. The other one attacked my and we hit each other over and over again. My friend wanted to prevent me from hitting the guy, but he had no success. Then I noticed my friend holding me was gone and the boy wasn't hitting me anymore. Instead he asked me one question: If I wanted to become a very good spellcaster. I agreed, so we walked to his apartment. He explained to me some things about the fight, e.g. his buddy being a minion of him and reducing the power of spells which hit him. So because of this trait I couldn't punch him to the other side of the street. We approached a old and destroyed house. It was flooded with water everywhere, but there was no water in the appartment of this guy. Because it stopped in front of the door. As we were there I discovered some old books.

As I stood up I remembered the spell combination: The two spells to combine were healing spells. Somehow reminded me of my other dream with the cards.

Me and some friends were playing a card game. This card game looked much like YuGiOh because you had to summon monsters, but summoning creatures in fact was the only way to win. The card had effects, because many of my cards had healing effects I won sometimes. Because of this I lent some good cards to other people. We were playing this game in a stairway of a random house with many apartments. Sometimes we were disturbed by the occupants, but they let us play there.

I think I only managed this because I was discussing it with a friend during the day. But anyway, on with the show:

I was in a huge city, not as big as London but a bit older. There were lots of old buildings around but then a tram line running right through the middle of it all. The sun was shinning and families and the people that lived there were milling around doing their jobs, it was actually quite busy. Then for some reason I started thinking about lucid dreaming, I looked around and noticed I wasn't anywhere I recognised. Then again that's pretty normal for me. I RC'd purely out of habit and it failed, I could breath. As I was about to walk off I realised, "woah woah woah wait what?! I can breath?! I'm dreaming!!!! ." But as I started to walk once more my vision went blurry which for me means the dream is collapsing. I hit the floor, desperate to keep this LD in one piece. As I felt the solid concrete beneath me everything became crystal clear. I could see every detail in everything, in fact I think I'd even go as far to say I could see better in this dream than in real life. The colours were so vibrant and stunning, I wanted to stay here forever. Knowing that not to be possible I decided to get moving and try some stuff.

I stood up, first things first go back to basics. I shot up in the air as the knowledge of flying came flooding back. The last time I tried I was still learning but clearly I was done with the basics, I was flying like a pro! Once above the main level of the city I had a fly around both to get my bearings and to get used to being airborne. After some time when I'd got to know my way around a little I landed gently on the turret of a small castle within the city.

Looking over the edge at the rather large drop to the ground I did another Reality Check just to be sure (even though I'd just flown ) again it failed and I could breath through my blocked nose. This was so strange, it all felt so real even down to the slight breeze passing over me. Not wanting to waste any more time admiring I took off again.

This time I flew past a kind of half stadium, the crowd saw me and cheered wanting me to do tricks. Just having mastered normal flying I didn't want to fall and end up looking stupid so I just flew around a little bit. After a while I got bored of entertaining my own brain (they were all DC's after all). I landed nearby on the flat glass roof of what appeared to be some kind of mansion. I spotted something on the floor and out of curiosity I went to see what it was since dreams can conjure up strange objects. As I went over to it I lost lucidity I can't remember what the object was either. But I'm not complaining, it was my first LD in months and for a first one it was pretty amazing.

Fragment: I was hiding behind a hedge from what I thought to be the police.

What an amazing night

DJ

[COLOR="royalblue"]Non-Aware (Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="blue"]Partially Aware (Lucid Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="navy"]Fully Aware and Vivid (Astral Projection(OOBE)[/COLOR]

This night was painful at first... But I did discover something new to me. I went to bed 22:10 and I put a pillow against the wall to my left, put myself in a sitting position with pillows behind my back and then leaned with my head to the pillow on my left. I started doing a breathing exercise called "Velvety Smooth Breathing" that is said to help you to get more vivid thoughts and impressions for the image stream technique later on. I lay in my bed and after what felt like 5 minutes I thought about my neck and I imagined that it was uncomfortable and the instant I thought that thought, it became uncomfortable...
I told myself that it was only because I had thought that, so I tried to occupy my mind with daydreaming.
I remember that I thought about the tv show I had watched that day "Smallville". And I imagined myself having superpowers.

All of the sudden I wake up and I move around my pillows and then it hits me "NOOOO I fell asleep and I moved!!! Ah well I better go to sleep then...".

[COLOR="royalblue"]I started to think random thoughts like "I am the new Batman in town" and I saw some green grass field and it was night. I was now dreaming unaware, but the dreams was from now on vivid enough for me to remember almost every single one of them! I wrote in this title that it was 21 dream scenarios and it was, but in total REM dreams it was perhaps 4-5 very long dreams and I still don't remember every dream scene.

I were on the grass-field and I saw five men who tried to break in to a house, then I see a man with a batman suit holding a sniper rifle, he shoots four of the men with sleeping darts from the rifle, but on of the men managed to escape in a car. The dream changes and my dad and I are going to a restaurant to see if they had any good food for later that day. We drove a car that looked exactly like the car in the previous dream, but I didn't noticed that. We stop outside the restaurant and see that they only have fish, and we were tired of fish so me and my dad get out of the car to ask if they can do an exception for us.

The dream changes again and I am in my dad's office at home and I see a small spider on the wall. It looked like a tarantula with some different colors. I thought it was beautiful, but suddenly I see it grow very fast and it wasn't as enjoyable to look at anymore. I starts to crawl on the wall and I think jokingly to myself "Kill it with fire before it lays eggs!". But it wasn't funny when I saw that it was crawling towards me! I looked at it in shock, but then I see that it turned around and walked the other way... Puh... But then I see to my horror that it's crawling into my room!
"Noo how will I ever get to sleep now..." I think to myself. The dream changes and I had some dinner with my friends, but I can't remember what we talked about.

The dream changes again and I am back at the restaurant with my dad, although this time I am at some ice cream stand and I ask them if they took Swedish money because apparently I were in Denmark. The girl I talked to said that they did, but then I remembered that I got some Danish money as well so I gave her that. Then I said I wanted to buy a soda and she suddenly say "Can I borrow your dream?". I looked at her and didn't really understood her question instead I started to explain what a lucid dream was. :shock: (PALMFACE when Facepalm is not enough)...

Then I woke up, I didn't checked the time for some reason, but I wrote down my dreams and then went back to sleep.

Some woman asked me if I played in a football team and my answer was "No I don't play that often..". I then where in some house with a couple of friends and I think we were just sleeping. Then a friend named Astrit told me that he had a meteor rock and I got super excited and I even remember hearing the typical "Smallville" sound effect you hear when the meteor is near Clark. Then some girls of the group needed to get some money from an ATM, so we went with them.
We went ahead and I was fooling around with a friend ( I don't know him in real life) and he told me to do a clap game, that kind of hand clap game you do in elementary school... But in the dream I was totally game :cheeky:
He taught me some routine and then told me that Leela always do that one in Futurama. I have never seen her do that so I just nodded OK. Then we went into some public toilet that was very big, I got high dream control here and I started to freestyle and do le parkour. I remember I did a Sault de Chat or Kong and right in the middle of the air I did a front flip after it. And I was super excited.

Then I woke up again and the time was 04:24.

When I fell back to sleep again I was in some athletics arena and it seemed to be the Olympics. I sat down and talked to some judge and then I saw two dogs competing in "Walking". I saw a little dog I know in real life named Mille and he competed against a much bigger dog. Then Mille jumps out of the court and they had to cancel the match. I talked to the judge about it and then he told me that I could make a t-shirt. I remember writing "Mille Nr 23" and that it was very hard to write. I got a cookie and 20 Swedish krona. I then saw two people from my old class "Amanda and Felix".
They waved to me and signaled me to go to them. On my way to them I heard a Westlife like song where they were singing "Center of the earth". Then when I got to my old classmates we talked for a bit and I also remember that my parents joined and embarrassed me a bit... Then I said "This was nice but Amanda we got to meet up sometime." and she answered "Yes we should".

I woke up again and had some more dreams, but I was almost tired of recording them now so I only ended up remembering the last one.

I was out with my friend David and we were trying to get our Scuba Diving Certificate D. It was called D1 in the dream.
I remember that we were a large group and I really sucked at swimming, it was impossible to control, although now when I think back, I think it's kind of cool that the water felt so real for being a dream. This dream ended with me accidentally swallowing some weird slopy thing from the water and I panicked while I was tying to get it out.

I woke up 07:10 to alert to fall back to sleep again.
[/COLOR]

What I learned from these dreams was that we dream far more than we think we are. And if I fall asleep while I am laying in that sitting position, I actually wake up very close to where my vivid REM dreams starts and it also improves my recall and awareness of my dreams. If this is the case every night, then I really need to find a way to get lucid by either trying to WILD right when I wake up so a DEILD, or trying to find a way to make reality checks while I am dreaming.

But if my dream recall is going to be this great every day, I am not even sure I am going to have the energy to write it all down, unless it's a lucid dream of course =) We'll see ;)

I had gone to sleep early because I had nothing to do, but because my father woke me up, can't remember much.
I was somewhere with classmates (I think this but I don't remember them in person).
I was drinking a vodka, but they warned me because this special vodka would have so much alcohol inside that, in fact, a mouthful of this would make me drunk.

Ok, I ALMOST had yet another WILD. This would have been my 4th one this week, had this attempt and another attempt not failed. So I've had 2 WILDs this week, And 2 almost WILDs. I'm definitely getting the hang of these now. I felt the heavy feeling come across my body and everything, and it got darker and darker... But for some stupid reason, I woke up -__- I dunno why, but I did. There appears to be a... pattern... as well...

WILD, Almost WILD, WILD, Almost WILD, ---

Perhaps this is a pattern, and maybe I'll have another full WILD soon? Idk. But I'm still glad I'm getting used to Lucid Dreaming again...

The precursor to this dream was, I had set an alarm for two AM thinking that if I woke up earlier I'd be more tired and could do MILD and fall back asleep easier. Horrible idea, I ended up waking up and then I just felt restless and didn't end up falling back asleep until like 4:30 AM. Alright anyway so I end up waking back up around 6:40 and then I went back to sleep again and next thing I know I'm in my dream.

So the earliest moment I remember was that I was at the baseball field near my house. I was in the parking lot and I noticed that someone had their car parked directly behind mine making it impossible for me to leave. I was pretty mad about this and I went to find out who's car it was. I ask my little brother who's car it is and he's trying to describe to me the person it belongs to. He says something like "The kid with the hair, the uhhh kid with the red hair." In waking life he does know this persons name but he doesn't say it in the dream. So anyways the person he was describing runs by me and he tells me that that's him. So I grab him and tell him that he needs to move his car now. So then I don't remember why or how but I end up grabbing my little brother and then he starts crying. Then my dad stands up on the bleachers and is yelling at me and he says something about my brother being up to bat. So I get angry at my little brother for getting me in trouble and I storm off towards my car. When I get to my car I end up thinking, good thing this is only a dream. And then I stopped and I thought wait I'm dreaming.. So I ended up being the event that sparked my lucidity.

Alright so I was standing at the door to my car which was now a white version of the bat-mobile with some skulls painted on. Anyways so I got into it while trying to maintain my focus and then magically it turns into a classic dragster, still low to the ground. So there aren't any peddles but no matter I power it with my mind. So I drive it in a circle around the parking lot and then wait to pull out of it because there was traffic. Once I pull out into the street it's no longer me driving it's now some Mexican girl and she sounds around fourteen years old. So then we turn around a street and she says something like, "It's your fault we have to wash it." Anyways then she floors it down the street and I don't really have anything to focus on, everything is blurry. I end up totally losing my focus after a while. And then all I see is blackness and then a percent bar popped up. There was rectangles that were like a teal color and the word percentage was in orange, it started at eighty percent and then went up until it hit one-hundred percent at which point I was reloaded into the dream. This time my older brother was driving the dragster. This time we were on a mountain rode. And might I add that the sky was blue and the sun was out whereas before it was night time. Anyways so while my brother was driving I kept bumping up and down and one time I stopped in the air and was floating. Then the last thing I saw was a list of tasks that looked like my task list from Astrid Task Manager.

Rehearsal Test

I'm taking a test. Only, we were given the exact same set of questions as review only days ago. In fact, right now the proctors are going through and handing back our review worksheets, because the test is to be open-note. Incredulously, I open the test and the review worksheet both to the first page. Yep, exact same questions. Am I really meant to sit here for the next half hour copying over my previous answers? I call over a proctor to ask this question. In reply, she merely points out that I got some of the review questions wrong, so it won't be exact copying. Hmph.

I decide I may as well drive home before deciding what to do. I get in my white Pathfinder and head out. Due to road closures, I have to drive straight up a steep dirt road on my way home.

Later I return to the testing room. I open the review packet again, and this time I notice that the handwriting on the answers isn't my own. In fact, it seems like the handwriting changes with every new page! The graders must have split the packets for grading and then haphazardly stapled them together again, hopelessly mixing everything together. Affronted, I call over a proctor again.

Pictures App

I'm trying out a new app for party entertainment. Basically you just click a button and it collects from the Internet a bunch of funny, cool, or otherwise interesting pictures, for the group to look at, one at a time. The word "pictures" is slightly deceptive, because actually they're three-second videos that freeze on the last frame (the picture), so they have some context. The guy that made the app is asking for donations, because he spent a lot of time on it, making sure that each set of pictures has a unifying theme and that the pictures are the best ones available.

Contest

Someone's hosting a raffle. They want it to be a really big raffle, so there are a lot of different prizes, not just a couple really expensive ones. Also, there's one particular purchase you can make that as a bonus also gets you thirty raffle tickets. It's an interesting technique, I think.

Non-Dream Dream Lucid Dream

Dream 1:

I am in lab and I want to take a look at my coworker's (NG) cells under the microscope. She begs me not to look because they are precious but I promise it will be OK. For some reason I put the plate of cells under the sink instead of the microscope and I fill the plate with water - ruining her experiment. I lie to her and say that some new girl bumped me while I was looking under the microscope and that caused water to get into the plate. She gets really mad then turns into a hideous woman who tells me I'm hot.

Dream 2:

I make a trek to Mexico on a motorcycle with my lab mates.

Dream 3:

I meet a beautiful Asian girl on some crazy packed campus - probably UCLA. It might have been a festival. I am playing some weird basketball game in waste deep water - I think this is where we meet. It was love at first sight. She immediately trusts me so much that she gets into my car to drive her to her house. I am driving an automatic black Honda. We park somewhere that resembles a desert and take a very difficult path to her house. I have to climb an almost vertical dirt wall. She had no problem but for some reason I had trouble doing a pull-up. We are worried about rattlesnakes. I crack a few jokes about getting bit in the face (smooth).

We get to her house and start playing video games. One game is a betting game where we bet on whether or not we can complete a maze. Other games were virtual reality. We fall in love but I know that my wife is back at home. I mention something about sex and she tells me she can't or something. I say I know and neither can I. She tells me that she would be content with sleeping on my feet / cuddling like really good friends. This makes me extremely happy - true love.

Dream 4:

I am watching a strange baseball game from the stands. My team (USA I believe) is losing by about 25 runs. Players can choose whether they want to hit baseballs or giant credit cards. The cards are very difficult to catch and the kids are having trouble in the outfield (I think it is the little league world series).

Dream 5:

I am having sex with my wife. My penis is about 5x bigger than usual and I have a giant condom on. She makes me stop because it feels too good and there are people close by.

WAKE UP FOR ~30 MIN

Dream 6:

I get back to bed and start thinking about being at a baseball game. Since the last game I went to was a Giants game I naturally start visualizing AT&T park and the view from my seat. At first it was just a thought then I slowly starting gaining more and more clarity on my visuals. After a couple of minutes I was THERE AT THE STADIUM. AWESOME!!!

I perform a reality check by climbing some rafters above the seats. It was incredibly easy so I concluded that I was dreaming. I take off flying over the stadium - very high up. This lucid is extremely vivid. I want to test the reality of my lucid. I recall looking down at my shadow, waiting for it to appear after passing through the roof shadows and sure enough my shadow popped up right when it was supposed to. I was amazed that my mind was able to produce it so perfectly.

It was a very windy day and I loved feeling it hitting my face when I was flying. I tried thinking about what to do next. I couldn't think of anything cool so I decided that I wanted to have sex. I left the stadium and was flying over the bay. I summoned some hot chicks in a boat but I had trouble stopping / slowing down. I was flying very fast. Each boat I passed I summoned more hot chicks but I couldn't stop. Finally I landed in a boat. I started banging this smoking hot chick but quickly realized that her dad was also in the boat. I wished him away and continued. Unfortunately I "woke up" shortly after.

Dream 7:

I am in bed trying to find a place in my dream journal to record my lucid experience but I there were no available pages. (false awakening)

Suddenly I am in some kind of subway station with my brother. We are trying to figure out how to get to an amusement park.

Then I wake up for real.

Ghost Nightmare
I was looking at run down realestate. I had been following these guy around in cars. We stop and the area looks like a modern day ghost town. I tell these guys I am not interested. One looks like the funny one from wipeout. I say, "I don't want to look anymore. It just full of ghost." Meaning figuratively.
Now we are in my living room talking about ghost. We supposedly has some sort of experience. I tell them, "I would freak the fuck out if anything happened to me like that."
The wipeout Guy say, "Well look who's phone it is."
I look down and my phone is in my left front pocket. It is shinning a blinding bright white light. So vivid and brilliant. I become terrified and take my phone out and throw it on the floor to pop the battery out. The battery does not come out. It just gets dimer and reads on screen these word: Damn a crack.
So I type like a text in command line. Stop this please.
The next line of text reads: Sending...
Then the text I typed turns the word stop into stopping.
The guy says, "So you can't get rid of this?"
I say, "No. It just follows."
"Who you gonna call? He flashed a big smile.
I am so scared. "I don't know. Jesus? A preist? My dad? Someone."
I wake up truly scared but the more I thought about the dream the less scary it got.

FA to Japan
I am leaving a theme park with my wife. We go outside the gate and slay down on sleeping bags with a bunch of other people. Some kids were playing near my head and I yelled at them. Then I FA. I am some sort of scientist or professor at a facility in Japan. I am leaving with some colleague. He is bowing to everyone and telling them by in Japanese. I see an American man and I just shakes his hand and spoke English to him while the other guy bowed. He in turn handed me a book and said, "I want you to have a copy of my book." It was gold and tan with some lettering. I thank him and we walk to other people the guy I was with was all telling some people buy but they did not hear him or look at him. I had to speak up for him. Then we walk toward an office or classroom. I say to him you've been saying "ohayou gozaimasu". I think that means good morning. He argues with me and I let it go even though I know he is wrong. We walk to a young Japanese woman and he tells her good morning in Japanese while I just bow deeply. I bow so low I almost fall over. I realize we look like stupid Americans. She looks flustered and laughs and doesn't know what to say.

Bull?
There is a monstrous bull in the darkness of a stable. I switch horses. The light tan horse jumps better. I taunt the bull in the dark and ride off with a lasso. I am ready to catch it. I expect it to chase me but I never see it. I ride around until I see my family at a camp fire. My sister introduces herself to other people as my acquaintance. My mom scalds her. I feel like there is some tension about something.



Fragment of my grandpa dating. It was a big deal to everyone.

Fragment I saw my dead grandparents together.

Fragment about some goats.

There was another Frag but I can't remember now.

I just have notes and fragments today. My dream life isn't what it used to be, I totally blame stress and crap in my waking life.

Dream One(Fragment): I see some old friends from college C and M. They are telling me that I can borrow a telescope from their old high school and use it to watch the stars. My husband wants to do this, but I don't want to be responsible for it and I feel like he doesn't have the right since we're splitting up anyways and they're my friends not his.

Dream Two(Fragment): I am in a strange neighborhood talking to my husband in a driveway. I see a truck pull up and it's some friend of my husbands. I leave on a bicycle to deliver cupcakes I've baked for my cousin. I get lost and can't figure out how to get to her so I call and tell her I baked her Chocolate cupcakes and need directions to her house.

Dream Three(Fragment): I am wandering around with my friend J and an old Frienemy B. I start to follow J when he walks away, but then I decide not to. Either he doesn't want me following him or I feel like maybe I shouldn't, I don't remember which. So I turn around and go back to a big tree in the middle of a yard. B is climbing on the tree, and wonder how he's managing it since he's so heavy and doesn't seem athletic at all. urns out the tree has built in hand holds so it's not the great feat it appears to be. I start climbing it myself and J comes back and asks us what we're doing. I reply that we're climbing the tree and he should join us. Then my grandma shows up and tells me I have to go home. I apologize to the guys and grudgingly go home planning to come back later and not tell her where I'm going.

Dream Four(Fragment): I'm standing outside a tent. I go inside and it's got all these different rooms inside. There's even a bathroom inside that I can hear a shower running in. I quickly duck back out into the living room" of the tent and my bff calls. She's talking about the tent belonging to J, and then I am telling her she shouldn't have set it up until he was around. She's so sure that everything is ok having it set up early, but I tell her heard someone in the shower. Turns out a friend of mine D was in the shower and he comes out and complains that he heard someone in the tent while he was shower and wants to know ho saw him naked. I promise no one saw him naked and then go inside the tent just to find it completely flooded. Ambies is freaking out and I'm telling her I told her not to pitch it and she should have listened to me, but all she wants if for me to tell her what to do so that J isn't ma at her. I insist that I already did, don't pitch the tent, and she didn't listen to me then and it's nothing I can fix now.
