Seeing a Friend

Color code:
Lucid Non-Lucid Dream Sign

The dream starts of with me walking into my room trying to get my clothes organised for tomorrow. It's dark in my room so I flick the light switch which turns on the lamp instead. I touch the lamp to make it brighter but the brightness stays the same. Then I realise, what if I'm dreaming?

I pinch my nose tightly and try to breathe which fails, so I'm sure I'm dreaming. I'm suddenly "teleported" to the grass in front of my house and I see a friend who says he doesn't want to pinch his nose to see if he's dreaming, because the last time he tried, he gave himself a nose bleed.

I end up back in my bedroom and my vision literally goes hazy. I try to stabilize when I realize I'm going to wake up soon. Even though I haven't properly stabilized I try to fly but fail. I need to reality check and have lucid dreams more often!

The end.


Notes:

1. I was listening to music before I went to sleep. I listened to "Nowhere Near" by Blake Reary and "Clocks" by Coldplay.

I remember an extremely long dream where all we did was walk around this school, we went through literally every door and nothing exciting happened. I remember it going form morning, to afternoon, to late afternoon. Finally the dream ended.

I have brief fragments of walking around with one of my friends. He had this strange curly hair which he does not really have in RL. Unfortunately the dream seemed quite unrealistic and I missed an easy chance to go lucid

I become lucid using an RC for the first time in ages. I look at the second word of an unremembered phrase, then look again - sure enough, it has changed from a word beginning with "O" to a word beginning with "Liru".

Following kraid's advice, I begin exploring the dream instead of doing anything extravagant. The place seems to be an exponentially larger, more modern version of my house. (My dreams almost never happen in the house, large or otherwise.) It's also completely deserted. I walk through the empty halls, engaging my sense of touch. I also open a wooden door and lick the edge.

Eventually I wind up in the vast living room. There is a man sleeping on the reclining sofa. Hoping that it is Shadewink, I approach, and see that it is my brother. I cannot change him into Shadewink either. I don't dare disturb him for fear that he'd wake up - it does not occur to me that he is a DC I could ask questions to.

I am also looking for Dorothy's teleporting slippers (one of my dream goals). I can't find any footwear except two plastic pinkish bathroom slippers. Now I put them on and click the 'heels', and they don't work. I try to repaint my surroundings instead - that doesn't work either.

The dream skips (or perhaps it's a chronology problem). I'm lying in my bed again, looking up at the ceiling. The ceiling becomes much more brightly colored, and I realize that I'm staring at the real life ceiling. I instantly go back to sleep and do a successful DEILD that didn't last long / I don't remember.

In a later dream I have a false awakening. The hand RC doesn't work anymore, but somehow, the dialogue of two characters makes me realize I'm still dreaming. I then find that I can't turn my head. (Extreme mobility problems are common in my LDs.) It's stuck in a 90 degree position as I lie on my bed. At first I'm also unable to get up, but eventually I succeed. However, my head is still skewed. I try to walk around but it's a major inconvenience. I don't get very far before I wake up again.

I have a non-lucid in which my brother reveals to my mom he has been reading my offline dream journal. I protest that "it's personal!" (what an understatement!) but he says that it's been lying out there in the open. I remember being extremely upset.

___

I did stay lucid for a decent 3-5 minutes or more, so that's an improvement from my more recent shitty ones. This is also the first dream in many recent ones in which I successfully used an RC. I should stick with text RCs and maybe try to get my hand RC back. I should also probably expect my next LDs to be immobility-free, stable, engaging and exciting, so that they'll turn out that way.

MUST PRACTICE DREAM CONTROL.

i remember dreaming in somewhere where it is cool like i can jump and fly ,... it was fun its like i was play cs 1.6 and the corpets was flying but then i chaned dream it was so that 1 man had a building and he was hiding girls so to kill them.. but i was searching all the time to find them and ake her out and save em..
i go upstairs he goees downstairs. i open door i ask if there's anyone. a girl scream neds help. i close door and wait bit cus if he comes that man he will kill me aslwe.. he was comng so i went to other door was other girl.. thenit was my gf somewhere iand we talked smhting we started kissin and she asked me when ur goin to take shower with me, i told her now now and i changed dream somehow back to that building.. i opened the door and it was that man .. he left somewher bit for abit i went upstairs and i saw alike 10 pizza
and underwear from that GIRL inside so my friend came and i was askingh im help me etc.. maybe keys or osmething i took that pizza thing and i found underwear inside and i said to friend wtf only for this then he said oh it is not bad its coolie one.

then i woke up and writing this

I was in a beach of sorts. Somehow, I "felt" that it was a beach south of our hometown (Manapla), but I can't quite pinpoint, and it didn't matter anyway.

I was traveling with some people, and I believe we were trying to run away from some people. The mood at this point was yellowish, and so is the color theme.

Then I was in one of the cottages by the beach, and Ms. Monique was there, talking to me about business or job. I'm not quite sure. I was looking at people arriving and having fun by the beach. There was narrow "river" in front of the cottage, and I thought it was deep, until a kid ran over the length of it.

Then I was looking for Reggie. I wanted to talk to him. I looked for his blog and left a message.

I was also surprised that there are a lot of people there. I did not expect it to be that popular.

I do not remember much from my dream last night, but I'll go through what I remember.

The first thing I should mention, I was Steve Smith from American dad. And my friends (from real life, not American Dad.) were throwing a party, and the house was littered with T-shirts, you could not look anywhere without seeing a t-shirt, there was not one room in the house where there wasn't at least five t-shirts on the floor and furniture. And for some reason my grandparents were there.

I acquired my first lucid dream. Nothing like I expected. Not sure what I expected. It happened last week, I've just been too busy to post this.

I was on stage with a band, playing at Madison Square Garden. Ironically, the song we were playing was Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold. The way I realized it was a dream was because I couldn't feel my guitar strings cutting into my fingers, nor could I feel the familiar weight of it hanging from my shoulders. Once I realized this, I performed a RC by sticking one hand through the other. Then I decided to have some fun by jumping into the crowd, which I then surfed through 3 more songs. I then 'chose' to wake up by going to sleep. So yeah, nothing too interesting I guess.

After a few nights past my last entry I had noticed some odd happenstances which triggered my attention. The dreams were more lucid, stable and my dream control was fantastic. However, I myself, was losing balance alot. I kept tripping over myself or sort of hydroplaning on my feet. After a few runs through an obstacle course in a training grounds area i often visit in my dreams, my very own shadow came out from under me whilst i was stumbling over myself once more, and began choking me, saying " I TOLD YOU TO DRAW A TAIL YOU DIP$#!%!"
I woke up and didnt fully recall the dream until later that night. I picked up the 2- dimensional drawing i had done of my dream control form and decided to brush off the dream and leave the picture how it was, as i did not appreciate a tail. The next night was profoundly odd. The first thing i can recall is appearing in dream world with my shadow glaring at me and tapping its foot. I decided to ignore it and go about my dream elsewhere however my shadow followed me, smiling. I begin to be chased by odd creatures in my dream that seem to de stabalize the dream itself and wake me up when i interact with them. I jump into the air and spin around, activating my dream control form, or so i thought and falling on my face. My shadow laughs at me. "WTF?!" i reply. I get back onto my feet determined to get away from these creatures. When i notice I have a tail... a light blue regular size bird tail attached to my backside. My shadow is now cackling as he runs along side me. "What the hell are you doing?" I ask. "Hey, you wouldnt draw the tail so you get whatever i feel like." I run a bit more but the realisation i have a little birdy tail annoys me and i stop running alltogether, being caught by the creatures and waking up. I havent seen my shadow the nights hence, as I decided it was time to draw a tail seeing as my subconciouse was litterally sabotaging my dreams. I will say that the tail does make my dream control form look better and ... it is alot easier to balance with one also and can come in handy when your hands arent free so whatever my shadow was correct.

1. I am eating a bowl of some sort of fruity sauce. Maybe cranberry or rhubarb.

2. I am being chased up a long flight of stairs by a big muscular man. I get to the top and close some sliding glass doors. The man is banging on the doors angrily.

3. I am walking through a mall. I have a big glass bottle in my hand, full of liquid. I see a jewelry store and I throw the bottle through the store window. People start to chase me and I climb up the side of the wall like a reptile.

I had to handcuff a bad lady to another man and me and 2 other women pushed them onto a wooden raft then we also got on. We were on the sea, i looked out and i couldn't see land and it had gone quite dark, i didn't know where to go and felt a little aprehensive. We then ended up on a wet, muddy track, i dragged the raft through it then ran to find my two other friends (they had dissapeared all of a sudden) I found then and we went back to the raft and the bad lady and man had gone. I ran about looking everywhere for them the other two women did also. I opened a drain and she was lying down there, i got a litter grabber and poked her, she moved then the other woman poked her and said "she's still alive" and we all looked about for a way to get her out of there and then we went back again and she was gone. The 2 women friends of mine looked all about the big house, one of the women was banging on the inside of a stain glass window of a room, she said she was scared and she couldn't get out, I tapped the glass gently and she looked at me and walked out of the door, i then ran frantically about looking for the cuffed woman, i got back to the front of the house and saw the other 2 women and decided i would be better off leaving. I walked around a corner and walked casually down a gully trying to quickly get the hell outta there, I had the feeling that i had been there before and that the cuffed lady was very, very bad. I was walking up the road and a woman in black was putting two hats onto the pavement, she was moving them one infront of the other as she walked i spoke to her and said "oh sorry, i didn't realise i was in the way of a funeral" she was nice and chatted to me. I went back to her house with her, lots of people were there and they were all dressed in old fashioned clothing and the house was also very old fashioned. I asked if i could use the toilet and a man escorted me upstairs. I went into the room and shut the red door, the man stayed there and there was a lady at the sink, i saw the toilet and went then i washed my hands. They were both nice and told me i was very polite and i was good for washing my hands. I walked back down the stairs and saw the cuffed lady below, she was pretending to be one of them. I decided to get out so i did and my dream ended there.

2 Dreams from last night

Me and 3 other people were in water, it was like a very, very deep river but on each side there was a cliff. I had to go under the water to turn something, not sure why but i was really scared my other friends were waiting above the water. We had to be carefull because a giant octopus lived down below the water and if it caught us it would kill us. It was a dark gloomy place that i didn't much like. I got out of the water and saw the big octopus come towards me from my right side, i started to climb the cliff and the giant octopus was right beside me, i could see his big tentacles on the cliff so as i climbed i grabbed them and pushed them off then i thought i'll use them instead to help me get up to the top. I kept climbing then my vision went, i couldn't see anything but black and a slight glimps now and again but was very hazy, i kept feeling for the tentacles to help me get up. I scrambled to reach the carrot that was hanging at the top, i knew if i threw it for the octopus it would leave me alone to go and get it. I got to the top and quickly felt for the carrot i then grabbed it and threw it, the octopus quickly dived for it and went back into the ravine!

Dream 2

I was on a beach and i heard a man and lady singing, i turned round and saw them, i looked down and saw the golden sand beneath me and there were a few shalls scattered about too. As I walked over to the 2 people i noticed that it was Lionel Richie and some woman i dont know, they were standing by a big cliff, i walked round it to an enclosed area and they followed. There was a wooden chair on the sand so i walked over to it, it was a sturdy wooden chair which had a small hole in the middle of the seat area, i looked in the hole and inside it was an empty milk bottle, one of the small fat ones. I sat down and considered having a wee on the chair because i was desperate but they were watching me so i didn't LOL.

I was in Island Park (real place), a man promised a real trip. I know it meant acid. I felt anticipation and then rejection when it did not come through.

Then I'm traveling somewhere. My dream cars are almost always like clown cars. Like I'm oversized or the car is too little, and I feel like there is never a roof. Anyway.. I'm driving and going over hills and I notice I can see the outlines of the states and it's like I'm driving on a map. I was between Kansas and Missouri. I felt lost and I didn't know where I was supposed to be going, but I know I had a destination. I don't know if I was being followed the whole time or if anyone had been with me, but I remember shouting at someone in another car, telling them I was bound to get lost and I needed help. It was someone I knew, but that's all I know about them.

According to my memory, next I was in some sort of forest, but it was slightly cartoon-like. I might've been in the same dream, because I know more came before this, but all I can remember is thinking of Yogi Bear and then a bear-like creature appeared. At that moment, I felt I had just figured out something big. Something spiritual, something for myself. In fact, thinking the name Yogi, the appearence of the creature, and the epiphany-like feeling all hit me simultaneously. I wish I could remember more about this part, because it's making me think of my spirit guide.

>>> Later on, during a nap.

I'm dreaming of being at work (where I had just been.) I'm sitting on pot of chili along with a friend, and it actually felt quite awkward, but I was supposed to sit on it to keep it warm. Then once it was at the right temp, we were supposed to stick it on the stove-top. I also remember talking to a co-worker about one of the managers and something that was going on with him. I remember looking around and realized that the manager I was talking about had been staring at me the whole time. I pretended that I didn't say anything.

I'm not sure if it was a WILD or a DILD because I dreamt about it a while ago.

Anyways, I'm walking outside of my house, and I'm thinking of a way to meet up with walms. First I tried my "go to sleep" technique to change the scene. I laid down, and closed my eyes....felt myself melting through the ground, and all of a sudden, I popped right back up in the same area...eyes wide open. Then I tried black holes. I threw one on the ground....didn't work....threw another...didn''t work...and another. The black hole actually comes out, but it looks like someone spray painted the grass. I jump on it....nothing. I try it again and an actual black hole appears on the ground, but I get the same results. I figured that I must have been thinking that it wasn't going to work, so I get all my positive thinking going, and it still doesn't work.

I'm fed up with it, so I tell myself that there's a green warp pipe around the corner, ala super mario bros. Low and behold, there is one. I jump in it, and it's full of water. Not any water, raw sewage. So I'm sinking farther and farther into it contemplating drowning, and finally I end up in a house. There are two blonde girls in there. I'm walking around, and every time i breathe, random bubbles come out. I head towards the exit, and open the door, and just outside of the house, it's normal air. Obviously it's time to experiment with this. I stepped outside, and breathed normal air, and back in the house, and saw bubbles come out of my mouth. I did this back and fourth about five times, it was really amazing.

Rest of the dream......pretty much sex.

Dream 2

I was at a party outside, there were tables laid out and Mac-donald workers behind them serving food, i asked for a burger and they done the food really quickly, like fast forward and instead they gave me loads of chicken and stuff and some sachets of ketchup then the other gave me a bottle of ketchup. I went across to my friends (DC friends) and we all shared the food and laughed about how much there was. I then went and stood by a green-house, i placed my hand on the door frame at which point a loud firework went off and the door of the green-house slammed onto my fingers, it hurt really bad, i looked at them and they were bruised and i went to show my friends. Another big firework then went off wrong, it made a loud bang and frightened me to death, it was right by me and made everything shake. I ran across and told my Mom and Dad as i looked across i could see loads of smoke pouring from where it had exploded. I saw my hubby and we got into the car and drove about, the road was very twisty and curvy and rough and bumpy which i didn't like, as we were driving we heard a loud BANG that scared us both it was an explosion at the bridge infront of us and there was loads of smoke from it, i screamed "ohh my god" i thought we were going to die. Small bombs were falling off the steep bank onto the road, i saw a big lorry crash into one and it exploded, we both shit ourselves then i went on to have dream 3.

Dream 3

As i woke up from dream 2 i went into SP, it was all black and i suddenly began falling, i got scared and thought to myself "calm down" i also slowed my breathing down, i was still falling and spinning and it was still black i then felt the fear coming back so i thought to myself "calm down and relax it will be ok" after i done this i stopped falling but felt like someone was with me, i relaxed myself again then woke-up.

Dream 4

A scary dream but also funny: I was looking in the mirror and messing with one of my front teeth, i wobbled it a little and heard a "crack" noise, i pulled it a little and it suddenly fell out into my hand, i looked down and saw my tooth but it also had half of my top lip attached to it, it had a chin attached to it aswell, i found this very odd and looked in the mirror, i saw myself with no front teeth and i looked at my lip and saw where it had worn away from the bit that was attached to my tooth, it was red and the skin was tight and had healed. I placed my tooth and the other parts next to my mouth and it didnt fit so i turned it around and thought maybe the chin bit goes at the top as the chin onmy face was still there, it fit perfectly. I took it away and smiled, i smiled like a granny but thought i looked ok LOL!
