Had my second ever lucid dream last night and it was about my Dad:

I’m in a room (a bedroom?) with my Dad and a couple of other people. I don’t remember exactly who the other two people were, only that I think they were family of some sort. My Dad got up and walked down the hall to another room. I noticed that he seemed alert and very lucid*. I then remembered that he had passed away this past February and realized that this must be a dream. I looked at my hands to do a R/C but they looked normal. So I held my nose and tried to breathe through it; I could. Just as I was doing it a second time to make sure, my Dad walked back into the room. And I remember thinking, “Okay, you’re having a lucid dream. Don’t wake up!” But that’s where I think I made a mistake, because right after I thought it, I woke up.

*Before my Dad died in February 2011, he had been suffering from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and had not been “himself” in a long time. But in this dream, he was his old self, which I think helped me clue in that I was dreaming. I wish I hadn’t woken up so soon after I became lucid because I really wanted to talk to him and see how he was doing. Also, under the influence of Alzheimer’s, he had gotten in the habit of “hiding things” for safe keeping and there are quite a few things that my Mom says have gone missing and she has no clue where Dad hid them. I was hoping that by talking to my Dad, I could maybe shed some light on where some of the missing items are hidden.

Thursday 15 September around 3pmI was standing on a hill and looked down to a small beach where I used to go on holiday when I was young. The landscape was the same as before but there were three small straw huts which was partly sunken in the sea. This dream was much longer and I was at the same hill earlier but I can’t remember it.

The next thing I remember was standing outside of a child school in the same area. The kids were playing with a shoe. I meted many people I remember from my holidays here but they all was looking so old and had kids in the school. I said hello to most people I saw but wasn’t sure I really did know all of them because of their aging. Then I saw a guy sitting on the street and eating bread with butter. I knew him from before as he runs a bar in Asia. I sat down and starting talking with him and my gf came along. She suddenly freaked out over a tiny spider. I looked at it and it jumped into the air and when it landed it got the shape of a circle. The spider jumped more around and it was annoying. Then it landed in some water on the ground and grew glowing red tentacles from it. The size of the spider tentacle was now as the size of my hand. Seems like it was absorbing water to grew tentacles and increase in size. It was creepy so I decide to walk away and look for my two dogs. I walked down a road and I was now in my hometown. Looked over my shoulder and I saw some friends walked the opposite way as me. Right behind them the spider tentacle sneaking up their backs. There was a lot of water on the road and it was now at the size of a big car. I heard a death scream from my friend’s dog and they were all screaming. I ran in panic with some other people but then I got skeptic to the situation and looked at my hands and became lucid.

I smiled and laughed over the whole situation and stopped running. I walked against two people and said I was dreaming and wondering what we should do. They just stood there as rocks and staring at me without saying a word. Then the dream became unclear and I failed to stabilize it and I wake up in my bed and did some RC.

Seems like I need to try other things to stabilize my dreams when I become lucid. I have tried to spin around and rub my hands together but it only helps for seconds.

Note: Subway trains and broken staircases - most often, staircases under construction - are frequent images in my dreams.

The university / multilevel shopping mall with a Starbucks is also a frequently recurring dream theme.

I'm with Karin, my best friend from elementary school, a Swedish blonde who was very popular with the boys in later years while I was her ugly friend. Two boys from our class are there. We're all adults and we're talking about going for lunch. I'm having trouble with something (perhaps parking my car?) so I lag behind as they start for a lunch place. Karin waves at me as she goes toward the university because she has a class in an hour. I decide I'd rather go to Starbucks in the university than tag behind Robbie and David to go to some fast-food place full of stuff I can't eat. So I veer off and go into the mall / university looking for the Starbucks, hoping to find it in the hour I have before class.

Unfortunately, I enter the complex and find myself in a stuffy furniture store section that appears to have no way out to the rest of the mall. I do see a staircase that seems to be under construction. I see that some steps are there. I ignore it and keep looking. I find a set of concrete steps leading down into another hallway, but as I approach the crevice I find that the steps are against the wall and I'm standing next to a vertical drop. I'll have to jump to reach the stairs. I decide to put my handbag down and try it. A passer-by is urging me on. I throw myself against the wall and land on a step. The passer-by cheers me and then makes as if to throw my handbag to me, but he considers this a moment and then runs off with my handbag. I have no way to get back up there to chase him. For a moment I wonder whether I can make him come back and throw me my handbag, but then I dismiss that as unrealistic.

I go down the steps and I'm on a subway platform. I don't know whether the train is going to take me south or north. If north, I'll end up in the Starbucks section of the mall. If south, I'm out of luck. A train comes and nearly knocks me over. I don't get on it. I leave through a doorway...

...and find myself under a very low ceiling about to crawl out through a small opening that looks like a bird's tail. In a moment I realize I'm under a plane!! I panic and scramble to get out. A worker is there and tells me I shouldn't even be anywhere near the runway. I ask the worker how to get to Starbucks and he tells me to just go through that door behind him. I head toward it. That's when I wake up.

I belong to a group of military engineers in charge of repairing, building and "driving" huge war mechs (like those of the manga anime Evangelion).

We are (me and the rest of the team) at the robot shipyard repairing and developing new robots. We have little droids that help us
with heavy machinery.

The construction/developing area is in a pit, and on the top of that pit there´s 2 rooms, one is a canteen and the other is some sort of terrace with windows, through we can see the construction pit.

After the work is done, i go to the canteen, where a birthday party of one of the engineers is taking place.
The place has dim lights, because they are singing "happy birthday with the candles and all.

We are like a family, really tight and close.

Our group reached unique level of technological development, the mechs were so advanced that themselfs could aid us with the repairing they needed to do in their own metal body.

Sometimes we need to use a little ship to reach the robot´s chest, because the robots are really big.

The entry point to pilot the robots is also the chest.

I´m in a cemetary, watching someone´s grave. I´m not alone, but i can´t see who´s with me.
The person who´s with me lift´s up the marble stone of the grave and drops it with a deafening, huge bang.
The dreamscene changes, and i´m with H and E near an old, big house.

We were in the middle of a psychic session and suddenly this humanoid falls next to us.
The humanoid figure was all wrapped in gauze, and the only thing we can see from his body is the nose.
He was dressed with a pajama from some sort of hospital.

The dream "told" me that that person is my grandfather, and at the same time my and H´s father.

We took him to a madhouse. When we got there, H, E, me and the gauzed humanoid sat in some sort of waiting room with
dirty benches. The floor has white and black tiles.

Suddenly one of the patients asks for my help to peel off a pear, because he´s afraid of the pear´s peel.

I looked at H and he assured me that he would take care of the gauzed man. I got up and went to help the patient.

He is after me and after a woman (i could see who she was).

Doctor Doom was also there, without the cape, only with the armor.


The internal walls of this scenario were like the walls of a church i know.

To escape from the Anvil monster i started to climb those walls. As i was climbing higher and higher, the anvil monster began to break the wall, in order for me to fall.

I ripped off a metal beam that was sustaining half of the wall and i threw the metal beam it onto the robot...he tried to grab the beam, but it was too heavy and the robot fell below the beam.

After some fighting, me and the woman managed to escape by eluding the robot into going in a different direction than us.

We open a huge door made of wood, and with ornamental spears. The doors had locks everywhere.
Doctor Doom was after us...the anvil robot came back, but this time it was after doctor doom, and he had to run from the robot, using a secret passage inside the church.

The Ogre-Elf

I´m in Hell...Around me only exists fire, ashes and brimstone...

Suddenly, in front of me,an ogre-elf appears. He is gigantic, like 50 stories high.

I´m inside a bird cage, an old one, those who had a round topside.
The whole cage is brown.

I manage to open the birdcage, and i start running.

I can feel the ogre-elf trying to reach me with his hand. I get scared...but all of a sudden, i realize i´m dreaming!

And then i thought:" If i throw myself into the ogre-elf´s hand, my fear will be so great, so tremendous that i´m gonna wake up right know"

I woke up

Comments: This is the first dream i remember, ever...
i must had four or five years old... and as far as i know, it was a lucid one...

September 15, 2011

Finally I had a dream again. First one I forgot and 2nd is private. So nothing to report though.

Engraved Bible
I am in a church for a ceremony. It feels like a graduation or confirmation. Everyone is dressed up and near the front of the church. They keep trying to hand me a very expensive and old looking, golden engraved bible. I keep refusing it.

Sanctuary Spirit
I am a nun or other catholic leader. There is a protective spirit in the church. I defend its right to be there against an argument that another church member has. They want it gone because it is a relic and possibly dangerous, but I know that it helps the church and should stay.

Sibling Disposal?
My Uncle Gary has been storing things in a cave/sewer system beneith his yard. We climb down there for him to show me. It looks like a natural cave, but there are some drainage pipes pouring out water in some places. There's a large muddy area with pebbles on top that is absorbing much of the water. My uncle sweeps the pebbles together effortlessly to keep the water where it should be and away from his things. To climb back out, you have to go up a well. The stones on the walls are hard to grab onto. It's a very tight fit and at first I don't see how I will make it. I squeeze through and end up inside a house that I assume is his.

My sister decides she wants to go down to see the caves too. Now the entrance to the cave is a washing machine. My sister climbes into the washing machine to start to go down. I offer to go turn on the lights. The first switch I flip turns on the overhead light. It is one of those rather plain-looking glass bowls that lots of older houses or cheap apartments have. When I flip the second switch to give her more light, the washing machine suddenly turns into a garbage disposal and my sister screams out in pain. I quickly turn the second switch back off but it takes a second for the disposal to stop spinning. I tell her, "I am so sorry!" It's so terrifying and I feel so bad that I wake up.

I was in Cebu. I was going to attend a business seminar. I was lost in SM City. The name changed but I didn't pay attention. I took the tricycle up the mountain, at night. I was with Cindy and Clyde, and some others. Clyde was talking about ironing his own clothes.

I was trying to practice martial art. I was suggested not to attend the monthly seminars and just attend the national conventions every four months. I had to focus instead on activities during those four months, practicing martial arts.

After one training, I was asleep on the ground, or had my eyes covered, when one (or two) of my masters stopped by. They're happy to see that I'm working hard to improve. One looks like a human raccoon, and the other looks like Akisame Koetsuji.

A few of my friends and I were in a food restaurant which looked like a strange mix between an American Diner, where me and my friends hang out in real life, and McDonald's. It had an American style to it but the size and shape of the restaurant was like that of McDonald's. It was also really crowded. There were a lot of bar-stools at the front, near the cashier.

I had decided to get some food rather than go to work. As one of my friends was paying, I remembered that I didn't have any cash on me and that they didn't accept card payments. This is true of the American Diner in real life.

Again I dreamed about Kayako from the grudge. A friend, who I think was my best friend Fred, were in a house that we presumably owned. Fred was being haunted by Kayako. I was doing my best to avoid seeing her.

At one point it was night time and Fred and I were sharing a room. Kayako had appeared and I was doing my best to keep my eyes shut, which was near impossible.

I was being led into a building that was apparently the new A-level college that I had chosen to attend. The entrance hall was a huge room with a two story high ceiling. In the middle was an escalator leading to the next floor. My old biology teacher was leading me up the escalator and talking about how I had to be more organised with my studies this time around.

One of the subjects I was to be studying was art. My teacher in that lesson looked like my old teacher in my Middle School, Mr. Crew. I escaped from this lesson and went to the history block, which looked like the history block in high school. Outside one of the classrooms was a group of people waiting for a lesson. One of them was a friend from work, Tara. She didn't look too happy to see me, as if I was doing something wrong and inconsiderate. It was the same sort of way that my old biology teacher acted.

[COLOR="silver"]This time I also put on a sleep mask, don't know why it was just for fun. I started to think "Ok now I am going to think about my day, the first that happend was" ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Well I need to find a better methpd to prevent my mind from falling asleep. I think that any thought will do as long as it keeps my mind busy. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I were looking at a wall somewhere in my house. One guy and two girls were pointing at the wall and screaming "Oh my God it's a cockroach!". I looked at the wall and saw that it wasn't a cockroach, but a supersized wood-louse.
It was enormous, but I knew that they aren't dangerous, so I took a stick and made it fell down to the floor and it crawled up into a ball. I took a giant piece of paper (I have no idea where that come from) and I put the wood-louse on it and then I bringed it outside.

I were now standing on a green and I looked at my hands.[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"] I was now awared of that I was dreaming, I remembered to rub my hands and then I did the "butt-ground" stabilisation that I had done before. I was now a little more aware of the dream, but as usual... I didn't stabilised enough. and I lost myself in the dream[/COLOR] [COLOR="blue"]I started to fly and heard police sirens and I started to think that this was the dream chasing me down, because they don't want me to be lucid. althoug I wasn't anymore.. But I still thought this way. I landed on the ground and started running, now I saw normal people walking down the street and I realised that every person here is a potential enemy and I have to watch out for people with guns, because if an agent takes over that body, I am screwed, I can't dodge bullets like Neo.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2491[/ATTACH]

I now saw a man with a black suit and a earpiece. I started to run. I ran passed a police with a gun, and heard the sound of him morphing into an agen as I run. I then remembered I can fly away from them. So I jumped up into the air and heard the guns fire at me, but they missed. I flew into a house, some kind of never ending stairs were there. I saw my friend David and I told him that we have to run. So we ran up the stairs, and we started to feel the house rotating, so the stairs that we were running up from was we now falling down from, we had to decide every move and adapt to the house rotation. We heard an agent laugh outside the building.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Then I woke up, but I was aware of that I had woke up. So I tried to DEILD, but nothing happend..
It might have been an awakening, but I didn't reality check. From now on I am going to get out of bed on every awakening and reality check. Deild is nice, but I am going to see how man false awakening I really have, and not make them a false awakening anymore.[/COLOR]
