Non-Dream Nightmare Dream Lucid Dream Lucid Nightmare


Lucid Dreaming Competition

I have fuzzy memories of participating in a competition about lucid dreaming. I was able to get to second place, but I couldn't get to first. Why I entered and what it was actually about (the one part I can remember was the person in second place telling me that he knew everything or something) is a mystery to me, I just knew that I was in a "lucid dreaming competition". If only I knew that I was in a "lucid dream" instead, though it would have been fuzzy anyway.

I dreamed that I was... attending a Ninja academy. Only, Naturo, Sasuke, and some other Ninja wanted to dual together with me. It got hectic, and bad. They were all injured, but then I woke up outside the building we fought in. I tried getting help, but it's like, no one would understand me. Later on, I told some friends, and we had to go attend the academy and enter the exams.

I'm walking up to my girlfriend Jaye after checking out at the register. She is at a side business inside the store like a bank. I walk up to hear the girl (employee) telling Jaye that if she wants a receipt she can get it herself. I say "excuse me" and she points to where the receipt is printing and falls on the floor. I ask to speak to her manager and she rolls her eyes, looks back into this glassed off office part and we both know her manager is busy. Then I ask another girl for some paper and she hands me a box full of thumb tacks and paper clips. I get frustrated and say NO, PAPER! She rolls her eyes and hands me some paper. I feel bad. Now I'm outside writing an angry letter to the company but I'm using a crayon, writing on a small lined carbon copy paper, and I can't spell anything. I'm getting very frustrated that I can't spell normal words. It seems normal though cause I'm a bad speller.

I woke up still aggravated that I couldn't spell. Now I know that will be a dream sign.

After years of not practicing lucidity I dove right in the other night. I was trying a WILD technique and was falling asleep later than usual.

I'm walking down a sidewalk. I pass a telephone pole and realize its a dream. I don't need to do any RC's I know its a dream. But its already falling apart on me so I spin. I look at my hands and try to think of a place to go. Wal-mart is all I can think of. It seems familiar enough that I won't have to imagine anything. When I open my eyes I remember feeling like I failed. I don't remember anything after that.

Been coming to these tracks, sneaking in between buildings that line near by railroad tracks and then a stream, and then trees.

I notice I have a hard time looking directly into the woods on the otherside. When i've gone into water or the woods, i always find myself in some different place either in buildings or underwater.

Im always going to and from in a very slow manner, as if trying to not be seen.

I went by bus to a school. This was a school of magic. First we had to equip a staff and another random thing, with the staff we could cast magic, and both -the staff and the accessory- had active abilities. I remember the staff being able to warp me, the accessory looked like a book but I don't know what its ability was. After we got our equipment, we had to learn practically. There was some sort of plant which tried to grab your hands with its tentacles, could rip the tentacles off by moving your hand quickly, but we had to cast spell number 4 - fire. After that lesson I learned how to bind enemies, but for some reason this spell didn't had a number, it was sort of a emergency magic. Tired from the lesson I got to a flat given to me while I was at this school. I talked with some friends about attempts at learning dark magic but I even did not know what dark spells could be.

I had to go to a friends house called Jordan, his older brother was some bald guy cleaning out his fridge and freezer (Not his real brother) and it seemed like the whole dream he was very frustrated that he was having to do this, occasionally I'd chat to him and he was a decent enough bloke, the place he was standing was directly in the path of the toilet and he got very frustrated anytime someone had to go past him to use the toilet. His brother Jordan was having allot of problems with his bong, he said he had no cone piece and came up and asked me what to do, he suggested using cardboard or paper and i told him that was stupid because it was just going to burn, so we needed to use Foil, he got some foil out the cupboard but the piece he broke off was too narrow so i ripped off a more square shaped piece, i pushed it in about 1CM into the hose part of the bong and he poked holes in it with a pen, was a pretty decent cone piece to be quite honest, he did the weirdest things with his weed though he put all of it inside the bong instead of water, and every time he needed weed he'd get it from a different tin, i kept saying what the fuck are you thinking? He told me to shut up and smoke my cone so i did, I somehow managed to sink it.

A few other people came over and we all went into his backyard, his backyard was so hard to explain as it was like a map from halo or something, it had a huge concrete part and a ramp around it, and below it was allot of vents and industrial stuff, we all sat down and he wrote a message on his phone and showed it to me saying something along the lines of this "I have a huge thing for porn that has to do with girls crapping and guys rooting their crap" I was disgusted but i didn't want to make him feel bad, A few people we're trying to read his message and i told them to fuck off because it was private and he didn't want anyone else to know, i wrote a message on his phone back saying "Look man everyone has different Fetishes and that's what makes us human, don't worry about it" i showed it to him and he looked very relieved

All of the sudden this girl came past and took off my beanie (I wear beanies' allot lol) and she chucked it off into the industrial part, i was like "God damn it why did you have to do that?" So i somehow got down there and managed to get my beanie back.

Then my dream changed, or it continued and i have missing time, but this was when my dream started to become lucid, i was inside my old classroom, and thanks to these forums which i joined yesterday i believe that's why i became lucid, I felt myself slipping out of the dream and i was going to go with my usual approach of trying not to think about it too hard, but then i somehow remembered this website telling me to spin around in circles, so i did a 360 and the fading slightly went away, i was very surprised that it actually worked, then i remembered that this website also told me to touch things, so i touched my jeans, that helped a little bit, then i touched a random couch, Me touching that couch really really sucked me straight back into the dream (Special thanks to this website for teaching me that skill) and i now had full awareness that i was lucid and i could constantly think *I am lucid* while i was dreaming which is something I've never been able to focus on too hard otherwise i would have woken up, I'm usually lucid dreaming with the thought in the back of my head that I'm lucid but like i said, think about it too hard, i wake up.

Of course the first thing most of us do when we go Lucid is to try and fly, so i started trying to do that but it was really difficult, almost like my increased awareness of lucidity was preventing me from doing anything i wanted, I then worked out the more aware i am the weaker i am in my Lucid world, I managed to jump pretty high, and then i nearly fell flat on my face but managed to hover above the ground (Even when I've struggled with flying in a lucid dream, every time i nearly hit the ground i always manage to hover due to past fears of hitting the ground and waking up) I knew that if i hit the ground I'd wake up straight away so it was kind of a reflex to hover there, I had some trouble getting through a gate but i managed to fly above it slightly to the left and escape, there was like 5 nuns walking down a path when i got out so i randomly decided to steal her key i have no idea why LOL.

In my next dream i was no longer lucid, me and my friend Ben we're playing Xbox and i was getting a really high score in some skateboarding game where we both got like 10 second turns to get points and there was like 30 rounds, when i was on about 180'000 and he was on about 110'000 we had like 5 rounds left and he managed to pass me with a score of about 500'000.

Then i woke up

Okay so I suppose this is day 2 of really getting back into lucid dreaming and it's like I'm having to learn it all again. I don't mind this because learning was a fun and interesting experience but I wouldn't mind starting where I left off a month ago. Oh well hopefully my recall will return tonight!

There is one thing that's going to change now though, this dream journal will be updated everyday whether I had a lucid or not.

Our houses were different and no one went outside. We shared a kitchen with our next door neighbors. Turns out their 9 year old boy was a vampire. No one talked about it though. He could go outside though, so he must have been half vampire. My brother was one too. They were just trying to get by - my bro would feed on me and it was scary. There were much more sinister vampires out there I had to run from or fly by with weapon in hand. Perhaps I was a slayer of some sort. All the while being food for my brother.

Well, I decided to mix up my routine a little bit and have my nightly juic, milk, and banana, AFTER basketball.

8:30 - Go shoot hoops
10:00 - Come back in and have OJ, Apple Juice, milk, and banana. Get ready for bed
11:00 - Vitamins with glass of water
11:15 - Go to bed with binaural beats
2:30 - Wake up and begin second sleep cycle
4:30 - Wake up again and get ready to start alarm... put in earbuds and fall asleep. *facepalm*
8:00 - Get up

So ya, I had a bunch of dreams in that time period where I SHOULD OF started the alarm, and it would of been an excellent opportunity for another WILD. Grrr... can't believe that happened. Oh well...

So the first thing I remember is that I was outside of this apartment type building with a mattress. For some reason, the mattress was where I actually slept, despite it being outside. Anyways, then this swarm of bees dropped out of a tree and began chasing me. They then kind of all swarmed around this one spot on thier hive and I saw that a couple of wasps were there. I decided to help the bees out and tried getting rid of the wasps. They just got mad at me however and then I had to move my mattress to avoid being swarmed by wasps. I started looking for another place to sleep. It was really wierd because I was in a commercial district of a town and all the landscaping from the buildings to the streets was really sleep. Anyways, I decided there was no other place to go and just went back to my first spot. Thankfully, the bees had gone and killed the wasps for me since I tried to help them out.

I was on a football team, playing as a defensive lineman. We had on green jerseys and I remember that we had just done a play. In it, I had pretty much just blocked the guy in front of me and nothing really happened. THen came the next play. We all lined up and I head the QB call 'hike!' and start the play. I started pushing against the other guy, trying to get to the QB. He made it past me however and I had that reoccurring issue with not being able to run in my dreams. Anyways, then a pass was made and a little reciever caught it. Suddenly, I was able to kind of just teleport across the field and tackle him, or rather, pick him up from behind and toss him back the other way. Anyways, then he didn't get up. I was worried that I had injured him and broken his neck. Thankfully, he could still move however so he wasn't paralyzed. Then the medic came over and put this little blue clip thing onto his spine, which was now randomly exposed, 'just in case he did have a spinal injury'. That is all I remember from that one.

I can recall 4 fragments from last night.

1. I had a very short dream that had something to do with loggin onto DV. It didn't really feel like a false awakening however.

2. I was at the AT&T store shopping for a new phone. For some reason I really wanted one that was able to send a large message, and didn't care about anthing else. I remember picking one out and getting a plan for it. It was red and I could clearly read 'Motorola' on the side, which is surprising because I thought oyu couldn't read stuff in dreams?? Anyways, as the dream was ending, I remember thinking how it really wasn't any sort of improvement over my current phone and I just wasted a bunch of money.

3. I was walking outside at the fairgrounds. I remember looking at the grandstands and seeing the announcers climbing some stairs to get into the skybox. For some reason it had never occurred how they might get to the skybox and apparently in the dream this was quite interesting.

4. I was driving by a school parking lot. In real life, this parking lot had just been freshly ripped out for resurfacing, but in the dream it was already done.

Well, quite a few fragments I must say.

(I had this dream two times in one morning, I woke up after it for the first time, and for the second I dozed back off to find myself repeating it exactly.)
I am in some sort of registration type event for my new school, although threre are only 4 people in the entire dream. Two other people and I walk through the large empty halls of my soon to be high school, one of these people is my old literacy teacher, Mr.Kawalek, and the third person is unknown (I don't really get a good look at him.) we walk down a short hallway and into a classroom where a short brown haired female teacher about 5.5 ft tall waits for us with black and white balloons in her hand. She hands eatch of us two black and one white balloon and asks us to make carbon dioxide, I tie the two black balloons on either side of the white balloon and the unknown person does the same, however Mr.Kawalec ties two back on one side of the white and says "I made the pre-courser to it, carbon hydroxide" (ofcorce in wakeing life this makes no since, however I did not question the reality even the second time.) we eatch hand our products to the teacher and on our way out of the room she makes a comment on how complex CO2 is, in response I think to myself sarcasticly "yagh, real complex" while I compare it with DNA. (and here the dream ends.)

Nap Lucid:

The beginning is fuzzy. I do remember playing on a playground. Swinging on the swings and going down the slides, etc. I also remember hearing a guy singing the song "Tomorrow" from Annie. I wanted to whistle along, but I couldn't seem to whistle...so I hummed.

Then I was jumping off one of the climbers. I suddenly had a view of myself as if I were a video game character. I could see my body, but I was right behind it with a good view. I must have been with someone because I was saying, "Check this out...this is how it looks like when I fly in dreams. See how incredibly real this is. Doesn't this make you want to be able to lucid dream and fly too?"

And then I noticed that as I watched myself fly I was actually feeling the motion. I had that roller coaster feeling in my stomach when I swooped down fast.

I started to question this. And came to the conclusion that I was dreaming.

I flew out over some buildings. I then had this feeling like I had entered the dream through a WILD. (This thought has been happening to me lately in LDs). I wanted to reach out and touch one of the buildings, but I was afraid to move my arms yet because of the fear I might not be fully in the dream yet, and I didn't want to mistakenly move my real arms and wake myself up. So I waited a moment, then I was sure I was fully in the dream, then I reached out and touched a building as I passed.

There is a blip in my memory here. I suddenly remember being in a store. I had no idea how I got there. I saw two older men. I was looking at brochers when they noticed me. They apologised that the store was not open to the public this time of year, that there was not enough stock to sell things. I saw that this was a gardening store, but I also saw a card that had AM's name on it. Somehow I thought that having a connection with AM should give me permission to be in the store. But I decided that I didn't want to bother. I told the men, "That's fine".

But I couldn't remember if I came in the front or back door, so I asked, even though I knew it would sound funny. But then I decided I didn't care. I would go out the back door. I opened it and jumped out and flew. I wanted the men to see me fly.

I flew again over buildings. I wanted to remember details. I saw a carwash that had a sign that said "Tr" in big letters and had a picture of a treant from World of Warcraft on it.



I was thinking that this was the town that I currently lived in. But something in my mind told me that if I flew to the edge of town I would find the ocean instead of desert. Sure enough, I saw the ocean. But I felt disappointed somehow. I looked up again and saw mountains behind the water. My mind had changed this to a lake.

I started flying over the water. It dried up as I flew. I didn't like that, so I told myself to make the water stay. And finally I was flying over water.

I decided I needed to do something creative. I immediately thought of Oneironaut's dreams and decided that there were strange creatures in the water below. I swooped down close to the water and was suddenly nervous that some giant sea serpent would reach up and grab me.

I felt disappointed again. Because I had put the thought in my head that there were potentially dangerous creatures in the water, there was no way I wanted to go in the water now. Even if I told myself that I didn't want creatures in the water, my mind most likey would have one sneak up on me anyway.

I landed at the far side of the lake. I needed to do something different. I finally thought of doing the Task of the Month for the first time in this dream.

Sometimes I sense dreams coming to an end. I knew I didn't have time to go to another planet. I had to find a DC fast to ask my New Year's Resolution from. But I saw no one. And I realized that it was too late to do that one too...and I drifted awake.
