1. I find myself scuba diving with two attractive female archaeologists. As we explore a ruined site, I find a pot that appears to be made of intricately woven rattlesnake tails. I take out a green underwater Sharpie and label the artifact, adding the poetic tag "Here be dragons, the children of the gods." After I take the pot back up above water, my companions chide me for my extra writing.

2. I go back to my high school over the summer to take a refresher course in Latin. My senior lounge has been moved to the basement and vastly upgraded, with plush seating and large flatscreen TVs. As I go to fetch my belongings from a locker, I find that they have been moved from where I left them; there's not enough locker capacity to go around, and I inadvertently took one from a freshman girl.

Dreams seemed to be very long tonight. But I only recall one... So some were lost, it would seem.

1) Grocery/book store. Madeleine (9 year old cousin) had just gotten married, but was still a child. Crying. Relapsed due to a break up? Martha(?) Is checking out, I say I'm going to run to the books to grab one I really want, and walk through aisles to the back of the store. Bookshelf to my left.

Orange Lambo (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

An orange lambo had a trunk in the back. This trunk didn't close -- it had two square holes in it, supported by a metal frame. After you climb through the hole in becomes one big trunk. Two people could fit in. I was in one hole and Rebecca Black was in the other.



My body was hanging out and I was holding onto the frame

Code:

 Trunk:

|=====|=====|
|     |     |
|     |     |
|     |     |
|=====|=====|


= OR | is metal frame

We were going about 100mph down the interstate

Eventually we stopped and I was inside a dentist office. Rebecca was getting her teeth pulled. Blood was everywhere.

Exteremly long dream but I will stick just to the overview.

I was exploring a a bakery and there were people there from some of my past having a conference. I looked at them and a couple of them saw me and looked over to me. I knew if I went over to them I would be strengthening ties to my past but if I left i was strengthening my ability to start exploring options for a new future. I walked away from them a tiny bit sad and out of the bakery and out into the great big Manhattan like city.

There were a lot of different stores in small shops and some people walking around but not many. I felt really lucid and started practicing a theory the physical movement of the dream body relates to stronger actions like flying. I tried my punch method to fly and found it still was working good from other times I tried it. Oddly I couldn't not get higher than about 1 story up.

I remember thinking how I felt so much like myself!

I derided to look into some of the shops; a candle shop (boring), a ceramics shop (boring), the others looked much the same.

Its time to try exciting stuff! I'm going to fly like a cannonball through the walls of the shops from the outside in!
I did my punch maneuver and took off fast! I flew straight at a red brick wall! CRASH, through! Flew through shop into second wall; CRASH into next shop! CRASH through next wall! All the while merchandise was flying and falling all over. I slowed down and bumped into the last wall a pink wall of a woman's clothing shop.

Going through the walls felt like smashing through walls made of gram crackers or something like it.

I got up on my feet with racks of black blouses scattered all over the floor and walked out feeling a tad shameful for all of the destruction.

I looked back in the shops window and saw the shops saleswoman just standing behind the counter staring off into space like she was in a dream. I thought at her {why don't you notice all this mess?}and she "woke up" out her trance and looked around in shock unsure what she was seeing. Walking past the next store I crashed through the saleswoman was in the same trance but I let her be.

This was a weird dream. We were in my house, which was laid out almost exactly the same on the inside, however outside was different (although, still similar). Rather than being the corner house, we were in the middle of the block. Also, rather than being on our street we were on a different street, directly in front of the elementary school a few blocks away.

The dream (really, a nightmare) featured an evil spirit that took the form of a white moth. It was quite insistent we not live in the house, and did everything it could to get us out. At one point we left the house, and a giant tree (while large trees are common in my neighborhood and we have one in our yard, this one was excessively so) got shaken so hard a large branch fell almost hitting us, crushing the chain wire fence before rolling into the road. I’m rather sketchy on all the details, but this is the best I am able to remember them.
Also on my blog

I woke up around 3:04 AM and attempted a WILD. It succeeded

I was on a canoe with 4 other people. They looked like Indians and were silent.

I needed to stabilize the dream so I touched everything in the canoe, including the Indians hair. They looked at me like I was crazy, and almost made me loose lucidity. I smelled the air, which was salty.

I looked around and we were rowing on crystal clear water. I didn't think it was the ocean because there were no waves whatsoever. I bent over the side to look at the water. I couldn't see any fish or any other living thing.

I got a cup out of a bag I saw sitting in the canoe and dipped it in the water. The water didn't taste salty at all, but sweet. It reminded me of orange juice.

I set the cup back down. "Where are we?" I asked one of the Indians. I was surprised that my voice sounded angry.

"The yultary...po in the tweet. Luindee jumper." He told me.

I asked the Indians 3 more questions, but they all responded the same, and I couldn't understand.

Oh well...I looked over the edge of the boat and jumped in. I could feel the icy cold of the water. I swam down about 400 feet, and it was still very light.

Suddenly, I saw BIRDS swimming 400 feet deep in the water! They looked at me curiously. I swam over to them and looked at one bird.

It was really small (about the size of a cup.) and was covered with white feathers. I petted it and it was really soft. When I felt its head it was really rough.

I swam deeper and they followed me down. I grabbed onto one, and it shot me up with great force. After a second we were flying out of the water.

I let go and feel down, back to the water. I was expecting to hit the water, but I hit something hard. I looked down and I was on concrete. I got up and looked around me.

I was in a small Japanese town in the middle of a valley. I was dripping with water and people were staring at me. One of them had a glove on the looked like Freddy Kruger.

Instantly, this reminded me of the TOTY. I ran past the crowd, and into a house I just knew was Freddy's. I kicked down the door and saw him standing their. I shot ice out of my hands, and he was frozen.

I found a knife and cut a hole in the ice where his glove was. I could see him squirming around and I yanked the glove off. I shot fire at the ice and it melted.

Instantly, he started running at me and had a terrible look on his face. I jumped onto the roof, and the whole world flipped upside down. He charged at me, and I stabbed him with the glove. He disappeared and turned into dust. I picked up the dust and put it into a jar I saw. I brought it outside and handed it to a crowd of cheering people.

Then I heard a noise behind me. I turned to look and freddy was RIGHT there. I was really shocked and then he stabbed me. I gasped and, the worst possible thing happened..... I woke up.

I have not had internet for a few days. I really don't wanna type all the dreams I had, so I'm just typing the one I had last night, cause I was lucid and excited about that. In order to understand this dream, you gotta know that I did not go to sleep until 8 a.m. this being because me and Cay were up watching Silence of the Lambs and Beatles movies. Time well spent. We were at Cay's house and fell asleep in Cay's bed.

This is where my dream starts, we wake up in my bed, at my house. I don't question this. However, when I roll off my bed to stand up I step on something and hear a moan. I stepped on a leg. "Hey... Hey! Who are you?" I'm strangely calm for there being a stranger under my bed with his legs poking out. The response I get is, "Your really going to make me move? -sigh-" Aaron crawls out from underneath my bed and stands up beside me, rather drowsy looking. "Your not my boyfriend," I say to him. Aaron smiles at me. "Maybe you are? Gah. Whats your name?" "Aaron." "Shit." (that's what my boyfriends family calls him, which explains my cursing) "How old are you?" "Seventeen." "Your not him!" I do a reality check, boom. Lucid baby. Cay is suddenly up and dressed, ready to go somewhere. She grabs the purse she rarely uses and says, "Let's go." I don't know who she was talking to cause she leaves alone in her family's massive truck.

At this point, Aaron becomes British. Most likely due to watching two Beatles movies, cause he sounds quite a bit like John Lennon. "What'cha wanna do?" "Find that freakin' temple." I say and go outside. "How ya gonna do that?" I try to teleport. It fails. I pout. Aaron starts stroking my hair like my boyfriend does and says, "There, there, love. Let's drive." "I barely know how its pronounced, much less am I gonna try to drive there." "Know what it looks like?" "Yes." "That's all ya need." He's driving my brother's car again. We go towards this place called Buffalo Market where I live, and end up at the temple where this little gas station should be. I'm puzzled. "This ain't right." I then notice Cay standing outside circling the temple. "Promise it is, dear," Aaron says and we both get out. This thing is a lot bigger than I thought it would be, also. "Your still wrong, Aaron. No one else is here except us, and I'm highly doubting thats even really her. She'd have figured somethin' out by now."

She disappears shortly after I say that. "Fuck." I'm getting discourged. "Aaron, I'm sad." Aaron walks up to the temple and knocks on the side of it three times. A little door appears and opens. Out runs Brandy, Lady, and Sophie. My two dogs and one of my cats. "No Penny?" My other cat. "That's why I only knocked three times." My cat Penny, is a little unfriendly. "Was this supposed to help?" Aaron looks at me like I'm retarded. "Pick one and cuddle." I picked up Sophie and she was a lot more cuddly then she is in person. I like that... for a little while. Then her eyes suddenly turn red, her claws get really long, and she scratches the shit out of Aaron's leg. I scream and go to help him when Cay's twin wakes me up.

Gah. That dream is so long and boring and weird. I'm so sorry if you made it this far.

Just woke up from a very cool dream about a not so distant future flying structure that can house millions of people in emergency situations. It's shaped and moves horizontally like spindle with three orbiting rings, sort of like a space station. It can remain inside our atmosphere and make large circles around a disaster area for extended periods of time, or enter outer space if needed. It has capability of traveling very fast or sort of hovering, similar to a flying saucer. It can travel to any part of the world very quickly to reach the cite of an emergency and board people very fast. Though I never saw how people boarded the craft. It's like a giant mobile relief space/aircraft equipped with state of the art hospital facilities as well as being a mobile city, with restaurants, theaters, shopping, and living areas.

In my dream a huge tornado devastated a city built up along this huge cliff over the sea, and the infrastructure was severely damaged. The areas that weren't wiped out by the storm were in danger of collapsing into the sea. So the satellite, which was what I called it in the dream, flew onto the scene and quickly loaded people to get them to safety or the medical care they needed. The craft not only provides emergency medical care to injured survivors, but also removes anyone else, injured or not, from the disaster area...keeping it uncluttered and providing the opportunity for quicker rebuilding of the damaged areas.



It will take action and come to the relief in any disaster situation, natural like storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis...but also terrorist attacks and such. Keeping injured people and survivors clear of ground zero affords better rescue efforts and more efficient clean up and rebuilding by government services. Somehow I have no doubt that something like this will exist in the not so distant future.

I was aboard the craft, sitting in a huge open space that was sort of like the food court at the mall, but larger and fully lined with windows to see out to the clouds. An enormous movie screen was playing the latest pixar movie, while other smaller screens on the side of the large screen had such things as sports, news, etc. for others to watch. Everything was very clean and bright and futuristic.

I rem watching her listen to someone else and thought doesnt she want to know what he said. Last i rem he was just talking to victoria and not trying to talk to the lady anymore.

I notice jessica walking up although i can just barely see her. I nod and from what i can tell she nods back. I go to the living room to greet her and when i do my brother starts telling me about some soccer league.

He says you need like three sets of players and lists off everyone he has in mind. He doesnt say anthing about me so im like am i on the team. He says something like this is a straight edge practice like he wouldnt want me to smoke or somehting. I kept saying stuff like, well im not trying to be mean but i would be a lot better than ronnie or something. I rem when he listed it was all these random names, like cousins i rem justin too, Me and jessica go back to my room.

My bro runs over and kind of stands over it as it rolls in. I rem when coming close to the dc being able to smell him, smelled like sweat and stuff, i rem in the dream just really not likeing him. I rem after scoring a goal looking up at the sky and its darker now and the stars are out. I was blown away by how bright and numerous the stars were.

NON DREAM DREAM LUCID

Right, so, this dream is mostly bits and fragments of one really long dream. There aren't really any transitions into other dreams, more like transitions into other sections of the same dream.

I'm at my mom's house. My mom's friend, M, comes over with her new pets...originally, she has 6 puppies, but throughout the dream they keep switching from puppies to kittens. I can't pinpoint exactly where, when, or how many times this happens.

Anyways, so, there are three sets of matching puppies. I remember there being two brown bulldog looking puppies, and they were ADORABLE. So, one of the bulldog puppies was an escape artist. I had to tie him up on a leash in the garage or else he would run away. I remember the leash being pale ice green in color. Somehow I had forgotten about this puppy, and during all the other events of the dream, he had just been sitting there.

When I went out to go check on him, he was gone. Crap. So, I run out of my garage and look across the street, where I see a glimpse of brown fur running under my neighbor's car. I run to their driveway and I see the daughter sitting with a couple of her friends. I ask, "Have you seen a small brown puppy running around anywhere?", to which one girl says, "Yeah, he's off playing with Luna."

Luna is the neighbor's dog, and sure enough, there they are. I quickly snatch the bulldog puppy and walk back to my garage, once more tying him up.

Again, some more of the dream passes, until I once more go to check on the puppy. And again, he's gone. I'm annoyed, because I don't want to have to go and ask the girls across the street again if they've seen the puppy. Turns out I don't have to, because I see the dog prancing around in the middle of the street. In real life, the walking distance isn't that far to where the dog is, but in dream life, the distance seems like forever. The dog is oblivious to the oncoming traffic, of course. Down the street (which is also stretched out much much further than it actually is) is a small black car.

I know that the car will see the puppy and won't hit him, but part of me is worried that it won't stop. I try to run towards the dog, but I have an extreme aching pain in my leg and my vision is blurred.

Thankfully, though, the dog turns out to be some other random dog (it was an Aussie) and the puppy is actually at the house.

Yup. So, that's all I remember. Apart from the puppies occasionally transforming into silver tabby kittens, there wasn't really anything too strange or out of the ordinary.

Just a note, I used a new method that I read about in the DV forums where you tap your head and visualize lucid energy flowing into your brain for about a minute or two. While it didn't give me lucidity, after I tried it, I did have one of the longest dreams I've had in a while. So...maybe I'll keep trying? I got nothing to lose...

Dream 1:

I was with a guy who was a worgen or werewolf. I think I had a romantic relationship with him. A bunch of stuff happened, but I only remember the end. There was another worgen that was meaner and stronger and our enemy. He came upon us while we were in some sort of shop by the sea. They started fighting. There was another worgen that I was friends with. But somehow he was turned into a red frog. I was holding him with one of my hands (in retrospect he was a lot like a rubber chicken...but red...and a frog.) I was extremely worried about my romantic worgen friend. I wanted to help protect him. But somebody else talked me out of it telling me that my friend wouldn't want me in harm's way, that there was nothing I could do to help. That this bad worgen was very very strong and that if he killed my friend that he wold kill me next. I was told to get away as fast as I could. But since this worgen was an excellent tracker I was to get in a rowboat and row out as far as I could from shore and stay out to sea at least three days. I ran and started putting supplies into a rowboat. I worried that I wouldn't have enough supplies for three days, but I started rowing out to sea anyway.


Dream 2:

I went to visit my mom. While I was there she gave me a letter. The letter said that I was chosen to be a chairperson for this lady that was in this political party and was going to run for president. I vaguely remembered watching this lady about 6 months ago. I had liked some of the things she had said, so I had filled out some papers. I was stressed now to have been chosen chairperson. I really didn't know anything about her campaign. I then realized that there was a large convention that evening for this lady politician and that I was supposed to give the opening speech. I started driving there, horribly stressed about what I could possibly say.

I was sitting at one ond of a long chippendale type table, i had a plate infront of my and it looked as if i had just eaten, even though i was famished in this dream....my dad was at the other end of the table, he had a foot long 2 x 4 in his hand that had a small cude of wood on the top and he was trying to knock it off with a fork, he knocked it off and got up and came over and sat next to me and he suddenly had another 2x4 with cube of wood on it in his hand, he said, i'll knock it off if you''ll cup forward" um..okj whatever, he handed me the 2x4 and i cupped my hands aroudn the cube on top, he started hitting it with the fork and after 3 or 4 swings, the fork flew out if his hand backwards and landed in a hall through a door in the back of the dining area we were in.....he grinned and laughed and shrugged, i got up and went into the hallway and as soon as i walked through the doorway i fell to the ground and started crawling towards the fork, then a lady walked passed me and i started picking up lint and fuzz and small pieces of string suddenly strewn allover the hallway, and the more i picked up the more sad and depressed i got..then i woke up.....this was a WBTB dream..i woke up stayed awake for about 15 mins and went back to sleep, the previous dream, about the raccoon was right before i woke up....

I was walking around in my backyard, when i came across a raccoon being attacked by a baby skunk......i shooed the skunk away and picked upthe raccoon and allof a suden i was walking down a street, a street ive seen in my dreams before many times..dont know where it is though...i examine the raccoon briefly, there are no wounds, i turn left and walkdown a short alley, then turn right into an open area between buildings, ive been here before as well, theres a vets office at the far end of this plaza type place, i examine the raccoon again and now it has a gash on one side of its body, theres a napkin dispenser hanging onthe wall next to me so i graba couple and apply pressure to the wound, i start walking towards the door in the back wall, which leads to a hallway, strange thing is i had a key to this door for some reason, i walk to the end of this hallway and take a left, the vets office is at the end of this hallway, but as it is in every other dream ive seenit in, its closed....theres a square of light on the floor under the onyl window there, even though its nighttime, so i lay the raccoon down in the square of light, andit curls up liekits going to go to sleep, i say to myself, the vet will be here soon and will find him..i start walking out and fins theres a door in the middle of the hallway between the outside door and where i left the raccoon, its always there on the way out, but never there on the way in......i oen the door and go through and i realize the baby skunk was following me.....i go through the outside door and trap the baby skunk in the hallway, after the door closes, i panick a bit thinking i left my keys inside, they wer in my back pocket thankfully, i walk out of the alley and its now early morning, sun just coming up....i walk past a circle K, in reality a convenience store, in this dream, a tire store..i dont think its at all strange...as i head down the street i'm getting in a better and better mood, huge smile on my face, strutting down the street etc...i see a covered bus stop in the distance and i start dancing to and singing "du hast" by Rammstein....i havent thought about that song in years, nor wa i ever a fan of that song, but it popped in my head for some reason....then i woke up......

I was on the lanai of an apartment up the road with my Mom who came to visit me. I saw a sheep peeking over the railing and told my Mom. She got super excited and jumped over the railing to pet the sheep. She was loving on it and talking sweetly about how pretty and soft it was. I heard barking and looked over to see a dog running over to us. I sensed it was not friendly and yelled for my Mom to come back but she didn't have time and the dog attacked her. She was very bloody on the back of her legs. She tried to protect the sheep from the dog. It worked.

I promised myself that I would only open a dream journal on DV when I have lucids to tell about. I keep a pretty detailed journal of my dreams and I have no problem recalling two or even three dreams each night. As of yet, however, I have only had 8 (or is it 7) brief lucid dreams since I started this practice but awhile back. However short, since my last brief lucidity was so enthralling and has given me even more inspiration to continue lucid dreaming practice, I thought I'd finally crack open a dream journal here on DV and share it:

07/25/2011
Another brief lucid dream last night, but it was amazing. My mother was on the ground next to me alongside gorgeous plains of bright green grass. A sudden wind picked up and swept me off the ground, it was then I realized the dream. I waved (goodbye) to my Mom as I flew up and then took time to admire the scenery. The sky was a perfect combination of white clouds and clear blue sky, fields of grass glistened and waved from the ground. I took a moment to take in how real it all was. The wind drew me ever higher and a blissful state took me over. I took note of the winds rippling my cloths and tossing my hair, it all felt great. I could direct my movements by tilting my body in the desired direction.

As I closed my eyes, my lucid dream ended.

My level of awareness and general stabilization here was as good as it's been in awhile.
