    1. The Elder Places

      by , 05-21-2012 at 03:43 PM
      I seemed to be in a magical fantasy land, where some of the Dungeons and Dragons type creatures were real. I remember seeing the trees and rocks come alive for sure, and I think there were some other plants too. The trees were treants walking around and talking like normal DCs, as well as the rock creatures. The rock creatures were golems. I interacted with some and talked to them. I should have wrote it down earlier, kinda sketchy now. There was something coming towards the group of them that spooked all the creatures, they ran away from whatever it was and locked themselves behind a steel gate. The gate was set in a high stone wall that circled and enclosed a large area. I never seen what spooked them, but they slowly came out again when it was safe.

      Later on, I was helping these two massive stones set one on another, they were a foundation for a building. They could talk, but didn't move. Actually the lower stone was wobbly, and I was trying to re-secure it in its position so it would be stable again. These stones were huge though, they must have weighed at least 20 tons each. They were taller than me, and bigger than I could reach across. Dispite their immense size and weight I could still move the one I was working on. I was talking to the stones as I worked, but don't remember what was said.
    2. the night star

      by , 05-21-2012 at 02:36 PM
      as with most of my other lucid dreams i begin in the front of my house towards the door. i do a reality check and my two fingers pass slightly through the palm of my other hand letting me know then and there that i am dreaming and in the usual routine i speak it "I AM DREAMING!" i open the solid door to reveal the screen door. as i look outside i notice that it is nighttime, i would go outside if it where daytime so i decide to make it daytime. i put up my hands, close my eyes, and focus on making the sun rise while imagining it. i open my eyes to see a luminescent blue star at about 2:00 in the sky. as i break my focus it shoots back down leaving no moon nor star in the pitch black sky. i go back inside and notice my "parents" in the kitchen so i attempt convincing them that it is a dream. i walk into the room and ask, "do you know this is a dream?" they don't believe me and respond with a,
      "Naaaa" as the dream fades out in my memory the only other thing i recall is something about me not being from this planet.

      No lucids. But I sure had a lot dreams! Five dreams/fragments in total. Which is probably a record for me. There seemed to be a cluster of them in the hour before waking up.

      As usual I was woken up separately by my dog and both kids. Which was fine as I'd planned to just sleep and not worry about LD's or AP's. However I had my dream #1 early on (around midnight) about reality star I'm not fond of.

      After waking up the first time I fell into dream #2 about a mother getting shot at a graduation ceremony and the ensuing panic among students and faculty. There was a brief discussion about the culprit. And I actually saw a DC's mouth move. - I woke up at the end. But was so bothered by the shooting I imagined a different scenario and ended up in dream #3.

      Dream #3 took place in the same auditorium only this time it was full of younger kids. School was letting out and I had equipment to take to my car. It was raining and I had to walk down a slippery hill to get to my car. Kids were playing football with sanitation workers on the hill. Since my trunk was wet I carefully broke my equipment down and placed it in the back seat.

      Dream #4 was a fragment about working out. I looked awesome!

      Dream #5 was about a woman on Long Island letting her teenage son have an overnight visit with his girlfriend at an Island Resort on "Pia" Island. I looked at her like she had two heads (LOL)!

      The last 3 dreams occurred in the last hour of sleep....like a dream chain. Seemed as if each of them lasted a long time. But they had to be just a few minutes long. Not sure why I couldn't remain lucid when the dreams kicked in. One minute I was imagining something and the next I was dreaming. I don't recall any transitions at all!
    4. Block of Flats, Surrounded

      by , 05-21-2012 at 10:47 AM (Zoe's weird things)
      [This dream happened at around 5:40AM... seems like i'm getting more of these early LDs now ]
      [Sadly, i forgot some smaller fragments from the semi-lucid part of the dream...]


      I was walking around some blocks of flats in my city, when i got semi-lucid. [I say semi-lucid, because my decisions weren't always clear, but i was still i aware of the fact that i'm dreaming].
      I just knew that according to the dream's story i was living in one of the flats with my mom and grandma. I was walking outside for a while, just admiring everything, when i noticed like 4 dragons flying in all directions...
      I decided to chase them just for fun, when i got turned into a dragon as well unintentionally.
      We were flying through the flats, through walls, it was kinda fun, even while i wasn't fully lucid...
      While doing this, i was thinking that i must've got lucid thanks to Dreamprofessor... not sure how exactly, hah

      After a while it started getting darker as the sun went down, so i flew back into the flat where we lived according to the dream.
      My grandma stepped in front of me once i got inside and started arguing with me:

      - You know that i work hard, do you?
      - You don't even do anything...
      - Don't say that! I do alot more than you think!
      - Of course.. you sleep all day and watch TV /laugh/
      - NO! NO! I WENT TO THE SHOP TODAY AND BOUGHT FOOD FOR US!
      - Ah, like i believe that.

      [She is 92 years old in real and only sleeps and watches TV, but she is really stubborn].
      I decided to leave it on her, i didn't care. Somewhat i forgot that it's getting dark outside and i flew back out and up to the top of the building. [I know i did something here that would be good to mention, but i totally forgot it].
      I got back inside again, since it was fully night already. As i was standing at a counter in the room, i got fully lucid. I looked around and tried to remember what i did before this moment, just to make sure i don't forget.

      Suddenly, i heard my mom as she told us that she goes somewhere and will be back soon... i didn't care much since she was just a DC. I heard it as she closes the door.
      I decided to get out of there, since i'm lucid and all that, i don't need to stay in there... I flew through the wall, while imagining daylight outside.
      When i got outside it wasn't daylight, sadly. I put my hands in front of my eyes, imagined daylight and taken my hands away, but it didn't really want to work... i tried it twice.
      I kept trying not to fixate on the darkness, when i suddenly found myself in our garden. It was somewhat better there, since there were parts in the garden that were lighter for some reason. I also kept looking at the stars, since they were so shiny. [I would've really liked to admire them, but i tend to avoid darkness in my LDs... :/]

      I decided to fly up to the roof of our house, which was a little lighter than everything else. As i was just about to fly there, suddenly it became daylight. It was sunny and warm... i was happy because of this and now my first thought was that i could try to find Lucy since in my latest LDs i didn't try it.
      I decided to fly to the roof of our neighbour instead, since it's bigger and i can see more freely from there.

      I was standing at the very top of the building, when i noticed that the street had deformed somewhat. There was a road in all 4 directions from this neighbour house and our house has disappeared.
      I decided to think of Lucy, to summon her somewhere nearby. I was turning around constantly, looking for her, while being extra cautious.
      I noticed more and more random DCs walking around on the roads and i got a short sudden thought that they'll attack me... Of course this was enough to change things...
      Some of the DCs started walking up the roof while being all chill and calm, just like it would've been still part of the road. I got mad that they'll ruin my attempt to find Lucy...

      When the first one got up to me, that guy tried to grab me and maybe push me off the building or something. I was trying to push him away, but then 3 other people grabbed on me from behind... I started charging up some magical power inside me and wanted to force push all of them away from me, but the dream started fading as i forgot to move my eyes... Just before it totally faded, i've seen a "popup" of a character selection screen, with this text: "Next Lucid Dream character selection". The deafult one was a skinny guy who was called "Rori" and it said that he was in the movie Sparta... didn't make much sense to me.

      [6:30AM Edit: I plan to get back to bed now, i'm pumped and just know it that i'll have another LD^^]
      [11:37AM Edit: I didn't get another LD, even while i was so pumped about it Ah well...]

    5. Jackie Chu

      by , 05-21-2012 at 10:42 AM (Dream Journal)
      I was in my restaurant and was shopping online. I was at the saddleback website and saw a leather wallet with a fabric interior, like i've always wanted. I ordered this item along with a hoodie to be delivered to my restaurant. I somehow knew that it was going to be delivered by Jackie Chu. I pretend to be sleeping at table 3 when she comes to deliver the package, though I keep my eyes slightly open so I can look at her. She enters the front door to an empty dark restaurant with me sleeping in the corner. She looks confused, leaves the package on the table, and walks out. After I get up, I notice that she left her hoodie in one of the booths. I pick it up and I smell it, then run out the door trying to find her.

    6. Mars Expedition

      by , 05-21-2012 at 10:26 AM
      Recently I watched a film called Red Planet. It wasn't a terribly good film, but it seemed to influence this dream.

      In my dream, I was on Mars with my family, doing some kind of expedition to reveal the cause of something (I don't know what).

      ...

      I was in some kind of ancient temple. The sky was a red to yellow gradient, and I was climbing up to some temple entrance.

      ...

      I finally entered the temple entrance, and I was walking down spiral stairs to some catacombs. There I confronted some alien warrior woman who wanted to conquer the planet (or something). She kidnapped some girl who was constantly trying to give me advice (not clear what kind of advice). I (somehow) beat the warrior woman. (or not?)

      ...

      Seems like our mission on Mars was a success, so we decided to go home. But there was a catch:
      We had to take off with the rocket in 30 minutes, because there is going to be a huge nuclear explosion that tears the planet apart.
      So we started packing our stuff. I really wanted to save my computer, so I was packing it in, but my mother's friend (who also came with us) packed in his drying racks where I wanted to put the computer. So I was arguing with him, wasting valuable time. We all wanted to save as many possessions as possible.

      Eventually, we wasted enough time that the 30 minutes have passed. I started wondering "Hmm... the explosion should come right about now... Maybe there won't be an explosion?", and I looked out the window and saw a huge red mushroom cloud rising. I said "O SHI-" as the mushroom cloud was rapidly expanding towards our location, and I could feel the immense heat burning my skin, and I could hear the roar of the explosion.

      I suddenly woke up.

    7. Many Dark Little Dreams

      by , 05-21-2012 at 10:24 AM (Tomas's DJ - "Exploration of the inner Self")
      I am sorting out some stuff at the back of my car. There are 4 £50 notes and 1000CZ notes packed separately in some plastic. George walks in to the garage and I am afraid he saw it and will come back later to take it. I don't trust him. I think its money from some dodgy business.

      I am working as a driver or delivery guy for some gangster boss. He promises that when I come to his camp, there are loads of pubs and clubs with many people most of which women! I go there and it is really so.

      I was at my old school in Czech. There was a big paper box full of various medicines under the main stairs. I go through it in case there are some pills I could use for lucid dreaming. I came across one that is similar to piracetam, but I want to open it and read the instructions to make sure. Then the box disappears and I know its in the in my house in the attic. I go there and its hidden there with some old books. I go through it and my mom keep asking what am I doing there. I cannot find it.

      I was running some crazy marathon. There were loads of people, but it went through some wrack yard or so. It reminded me of running man. Then we all got to a big room with little rooms on the sides on various levels. There were various mechanisms designed to kill us I believe. It was a bit like Indiana Johns. I tried to solve some of these mechanisms, but I don't know how to describe it here.

      I was cycling with Skrbek through some country side... on a road between farms. Then at one point I got off my bike as I wanted to push it through some deep mud. But Skrbek points out at my rear wheel! Its all funny shaped, almost like a square and the back part of the bike as well! I am confused where it happened. I should have realised it was a dream here!
    8. Babies

      by , 05-21-2012 at 09:27 AM
      Someone in my family, probably my brother, has had twins. The babies are small and very fragile, weaker than babies usually are. My brother is holding one, covered in blankets. The mother comes into the room with the other one and gives is to me while she goes to do something. I sit on the edge of a bed holding the baby carefully, and cover it partially with a blanket.

      by , 05-21-2012 at 08:03 AM (Tom's Dream journal)
      Lots of stuff happened last night. I slept from 10:15, had a WBTB attempt at 5:00 and then another at 6:30.
      I dreamt a whole dream until 5:00 and remembered it when i woke up but then i forgot it all i have is a fragment:
      Again on a bridge looking out to sea.
      Then there was whole dream and a fragment.
      Fragment:
      I was hitting a ball with a bat, i was in clapham common in London which is where i lived as a child.
      Dream:
      I was a student studying at a university and i was looking into mountains, there had been a recent happening where a inverse mountain had been made, a sort of mountain shaped crater so i remember flying in a helicopter to take a look, it was pretty interesting, a really fun dream.
      The i had a really short lucid dream.
      Im in a court house standing in a stand as a lawyer and accusing someone of something, someone watching starts levitating. It starts to get really hazy.
      I realise that I'm dreaming i don't even need to RC.
      I start walking around the room looking at the people, it looks really vivid at this point, but then it starts to fade. I don't think that i did anything cool, the vividness fades and i can't stop it. Eventually i just wake up.
      So quite a lot happened,

      Another weird dream this time.. Well, maybe not weird but more vivid.

      I was actually doing terribly when it came to moving out. As it turns out, I did not move out at all and actually over-occupied the room by having put stuff on my roommate’s side. There were, to say the least, several signs in the dream that should have let me know it was a dream, but I didn’t really think it was out of the norm. First, on my roommate’s side was my stuff and for some reason I should have known that the only way she was able to leave is if she were to have moved out already but she didn’t.

      My RA was there and I told her I would be able to move out in an hour. There were several things in the room that I had that I didn’t have in real life – a wall-sized poster of Youko from XXXHolic, for one. Sheer pink curtains and so on. I also got lost several times going back to that room… so much that I ended up in a charcoal black version of my dorm full of girls that eventually became prostitutes. Yea, I should have known.

      I also saw a scene from the Magician’s Nephew for some reason.

      Well in the end, I was late and as it turns out, someone had broken into the dorm and it had become a crime scene (I was warned not to go beforehand but I didn’t listen) and when I had started packing up, I was told to pay for it because I wasn’t supposed to do that.

      Long story short, things got so bad that I was like, “Oh my god, I just want to wake up from this dream.”

      I have come to notice that I become more lucid when it is a bad dream. It's usually bad enough for me to wish it wasn't a bad dream and will myself awake... Maybe over time I can learn to control it, so, any tips for inducing nightmares?

    11. Dark Highway

      by , 05-21-2012 at 03:58 AM
      I'm in the passenger seat of a car going down the highway. There's an unfamiliar guy driving, though neither of us seem to know how we got there. The headlights only seem to illuminate the passenger side, making it difficult for the driver to see where he's going. Somehow, I can see things from his side of the car and know what he's thinking. It's pretty strange seeing light on my side but not his, and it's pitch black outside the windshield. There's an exit coming up and I remember that it's the exit for the private school where we used to go. He changes lanes to get out of the left lane ahead of the exit. Things fast-forward (or I don't remember the exit ramp) but we pull into a parking space at a restaurant. We get out and go inside. I wonder how
      far it is to this school and how late we're going to be for stopping. The place is dimly lit and we take a seat at a rough, unvarnished wooden table before I wake up.

    12. In the quiet before the storm... Literally.

      by , 05-21-2012 at 03:53 AM
      There is this massive storm coming towards us, however we have just departed from cuba via boat, however cuba is now in a mirror image. I remember the power going out. It was really windy and rainy. The bigger city near us regained power temporarily, but our city didn't (didn't matter because we were on boat)

      I woke up and went back into the dream. Somehow, our boat gets pulled into a war. Something happens and I join someone elses boat. It was a man and a woman, they were married and probably around 25-30 years old. I somehow get onto my own boat. There is explosions going everywhere. I manage to hit, and blow up a boat with a shot. Then my boat gets hit! I floor it, driving to shore. It's about to blow up. Another boat is about to pull in front of me, so I blow it up too. The married couple in their own war boat is beside me too, except theres is not on fire. I tell them something along the lines of "JUMP OUT BEFORE WE HIT THE BAY" We do, and my boat blows up almost as soon as I roll onto the small island. It's a big hotel, deserted. We go upstairs around the back. It's wooden and theres a railing across the back of the hotel, on about the second floor. It's almost pitch black outside. One of them turns on an overhanging light. I cycle through my fingers, as if they are inventory spaces in minecraft. On my ring finger, I feel a lantern. I couldn't quite tell, so I asked the man to see if it was or not. Then it dissapeared.

      I woke up, again. I realized I was dreaming when I saw it fading, so I stayed completely still. I'm out of the dream, and behind my eyelids. My body somewhat tingles and I hear the roar of a really loud ocean. It stops and I do a reality check, and it fails.

    13. Lucid Dream Compilation?

      by , 05-21-2012 at 02:44 AM (The Infinite Domain)
      I'm thinking about compiling all of my lucid/semi-lucid dreams and making a section in my DJ. I haven't really been trying to LD recently, and I could probably increase my numbers if I attempted WILD and WBTB techniques.

      Goodnight, fellow dreamers! I'll let you know of my subconscious adventures tomorrow
    14. Lost Swords, Jetpacks, Expensive Hotels, and Glass Base jumping5/15-5/19

      Awake-Non-Lucid-Lucid
      Lost Sword
      Numerous Dream Characters and I have been roaming through a dim, ancient corridor for some time. I don't recall anyone ever talking in this dream except for me?

      Well this continues for what seems like an eternity. I know what we're looking for: a sword, which controls the Universe. One man in my crew had very bad intentions on using this sword, but I wouldn't find out until later in the Dream.

      The suspicious member disappeared sometime, don't know when.. We eventually reached the chamber where this sword was supposed to be, but it was nowhere to be found

      The doors of this crystal chamber closed, and I felt the deepest sinking sensation, as I knew I would be trapped in here for eternity... And the Universe was now in peril...


      ...Until I woke up...






      Awake-Non-Lucid-Lucid
      Jetpacks
      I was on a dock on a beautiful beach around dawn. The sun had already set. I open a container to reveal a purple, futuristic looking jetpack.

      I fly around for awhile with great exhilaration. When I land, it is stolen by some guys in my class, and the dream ends







      Awake-Non-Lucid-Lucid
      Expensive Hotels
      All I remember from this dream is the fact that I really wanted to make a huge BMX ramp outside of a 5 star hotel I stayed at years ago. I ended up looking like a complete fool trying to jump it.






      Awake-Non-Lucid-Lucid
      Glass Base jumping
      This was one of my more vivid dreams.... Simply amazing..
      I am standing on top of a crystal pedestal, above crystal blue waters. I must've been at least 3,000 feet above the water, because when I jumped I didn't have to pull my parachute until about 14 seconds into my jump.

      When one of my buddies interjected and tried to get me to stop going again, I flipped him the bird and jumped anyways.
      Definitely one of my cooler Dreams
    15. Lucidity, once again 5/12/12

      by , 05-21-2012 at 02:11 AM (The Infinite Domain)
      Awake-Non-Lucid-Lucid

      It started out with a familiar dream setting of mine: a classic zombie apocalypse, I was one of the only survivors, and was with a couple other DC's in a Chevy truck. Dusk was approaching, and the dream setting shifted to a parking lot. I started walking towards a car, but heard a noise behind me. I glanced backwards for a moment, then continued, only to find that the vehicle had disappeared

      I glanced at my malformed hands, only to make the assumption that I was dreaming. Since I was displeased at the dream setting, I gently closed my eyes, pictured a different dream setting, and reopened them. To my surprise, I was in a beautiful Mountainous landscape, with snow peaked mountains in the distance. If you have ever seen the LOTR trilogy, you could make the comparison between this dream and the landscape of Rohan. I focused myself and took flight.

      Several minutes after soaring through the clouds, I spotted a shadowy figure hovering over the mountains. We engaged in aerial combat, with fireballs and such flinging from our palms. I was hit hard by an explosion, but felt no pain as my charred body fell towards the ground. As I was descending, the dream began to fade, and the impact of my body hitting the mountainside ended the dream


      Not sure what or who the "shadow form" was. Possibly my dark side? I don't know...
