I'm on a snow covered mountain with an old man teaching me to track. There is a man up hunting with his boy but they didn't manage to catch much. They seem to be getting ready to move to a different area in their Van. I ask if they'd like to pull our resources and the 4 of us track and hunt together. The man ask how good the old man is. "Supposedly he's pretty good" I say. "How good would you say you are old man?" I ask. "Oh about 70,80,90 years" He answers. I say "Well he's answering in years, I don't know what that's supposed to mean. He says 70,80, or 90. Experience maybe, some years counting double depending on the area?" It is a bit darker than it was at the start of this conversation. The man starts looking for his boy and shines a flashlight or something that emits light around. We think we see the boy for a moment but he disappears the moment the light hits him. Unsure of what we just saw the man says "what the hell was that?". There is some commotion at the bottom of the mountain which is my home that is not at the bottom of a mountain in real life. The man and I go to investigate and we see up in a tree in my front lawn is a vulture tied to the tree trying to fly away. I seem to understand that this bird tied to the tree is a curse placed there by someone. The man goes to cut the vulture free.
(This was written in 2014 when I was 16) Hi, I'm Abintra and I'm new. I guess I'll start with my very first memory of lucid dreaming. I was in Target, very unaware that I was in a dream, and I looked at a product and checked the price tag. "Why was it written in some form of Greek and illegible gibberish? I think this is a dream!" I thought. Immediately I jumped into the air but only made it to the roof of Target making a very tall arch. I had attempted to fly. Then a few large men, possible apes (it was hazy) ran at me as if my lucidity was forbidden. Thats when I obtained the will to fly. Soon after bursting through the ceiling of Target, the Earth below me turned into an ocean. I soared past ships and found myself in a New York style city (never been) past skyscrapers and buildings. I flew into a building, ran into a wall, and tried to talk to the hazy images that I know were people somehow. Then I woke up astounded by the entire scenario. I ran to my computer and searched for this incredible phenomenon. Then I got into lucid dreaming for about a week and forgot all about it. Sadly.
The non-lucid part of the dream started in a city at night. I was about 15 feet in the air wearing roller blades or ice skates and I was riding the air up in down in the sky. I was above the sidewalks on the side of the road and would jump over the road and ride the air on the other side. That eventually took me to this part of town inhabited by people that really liked me. I got the sense that I was happy to show up because they were waiting for me and they thought I was a hero or something. So I showed up and they were happy to see me, I took one of the guys by the face who had dark hair and a bowl cut, I look into his eyes and they were cross-eyed. I turned around and started walking away. I started to fly into the sky again and then I just had this thought of, "I'm Dreaming.... I'M DREAMING!" and everything exploded into vividness. I started to soar into the sky, excited. I looked to the left of me and my friend was floating in the air next to me but he looked like a cartoon. I looked forwards again to take in this vivid city with cars driving on roads and a train on a rail suspended in the air. I started to fly over the city and everything started turning into the tops of trees, but it was a fractal pattern of these green leaves and I was zooming over them very quickly. I look up and see the sky is painted a very beautiful purple to orange to yellow scene with clouds spaced in a pattern. That scene gave away as I started to wonder what the next scene was going to be. The dark part of the sky started to morph as I was slowly floating downwards into this tall room. The room was lit purple as I'm floating down into this library with massive bookcases that are moving and organizing themselves. I float and touch down onto the aisle in between the bookshelves. All of the sudden, I get this thought "I want to meet my dream guide." And weirdly enough the first thing that pops into my mind is Pennywise from IT. A massive bookshelf starts shuffling down the aisle at me and Pennywise pops out from behind it and startles me, causing the entire scene to disappear, and it came back but now the bookcases are all tipped over and books are destroyed. There's this little robot thing that looks like Albert Einstein but shorter and much wider and the thing is talking in a sort of song-like manner. Then, I appear in my old room from graduate school and I'm looking at my desk where this robot/computer with a giant screen is sitting. I told it "show me something cool" and it started to play "Warm Thoughts" by Flume and changing around different objects on the screen to the music. While it's playing music there's a door right next to it which keeps flying open and I'm just casually throwing it shut as I'm watching the computer screen. I turn around and start walking slowly towards the door. There are these clown robot things sitting out in the dark hallway and they're just spinning and turning to the music. I go out into the hallway and flip on the light switch. In the living room are two women, one with long blonde hair and one with short dirty-blonde hair sitting under covers on a couch who I think were kissing in the dark. When I hit the switch they kinda just squinted their eyes and were like "hey buddy, can you turn off the light we were in the middle of something" so I turned the light back off. And then I woke up.
Nothing impressive last night, and no lucidity. 1st dream: my notes say "in transformers/avengers/smashmouth lost drive -- walking to first day of new job. Walked into the (illegible) O_O " ==> I have no idea what this means. I must've woken from very deep sleep to hastily scribble this out. I am starting a new job soon now that I've finished my undergraduate degree, so that explains part of it, but I still don't have any personal recollection of this dream. 2nd dream: I do remember this. I went back up to Utah for a few days, and then was planning on going back to California for a few more days after that, and then back to Utah once more. I was about to talk to my friend to tell him I couldn't make it to his party, because I'd be in Cali, but then I woke up. I'm currently in Cali for a few more days, and I actually do need to tell my friend that I can't make it to his party lol.
I did SSILD to get a lucid dream after a WBTB. This time, the efficacy of the technique dawned on me. It isn't about the cycles or how long you do them, it is about the mere act of paying attention. It's about the mental act of bring background noises, sensations and objects to the foreground of awareness; noticing subtle things like: how one's cloths touch the skin, how tense or relaxes muscles are, the sound of the fan, the chirping of the birds and crickets, the weird shapes in the darkness of vision. The mere act of paying very close attention stimulates the mind to the extent that the next time I fall asleep, I can't help but notice I am dreaming. Of course, I've only done this one time so more trials are needed. This hypothesis seems very plausible and could explain why techniques I've invented in the past have worked - staring through the eyes, mindfulness meditation, SSILD, listening to the white noise in the ears; they all require me to pay attention during my WBTB period. ~~~ The dream featured me walking down my street and trying to stabilize the dream. I call out repeated for Gray to appear; the dream character I have chosen to act as a goal for dream control. No matter how many times I call out, she doesn't appear. I attempt to walk to the park around my home and make it far enough until I find myself in a hallway; the end of it being a bookshelf. I close my eyes in the dream and imagine myself having the ability to walk through solid objects. I phase through the shelf and find myself on the other side in a room. I find Gray sitting on a park bench inside this room. We greet each other and the dream ends.
I entered into dream onto infinite plane and in front of me was very, but very nice blonde elf. I wanted to touch her around shoulders to see how real it will feel, but she jerked away from me... as she jerked away from me I somehow tore her tunic apart making her naked. There were other inactive DCs around and they went somewhat active and started to stare. One of DC started to sputter (like robot) something like: "He didn't hurt her" which he repeated again and again while starring on her. She just stood and tried to cover herself. Unfortunately there was nothing much to use. So I closed distance to hand her that ravaged tunic back, but she quickly embraced me... I felt her whole body on myself... interesting feeling. I hold her in close embrace a few minutes till dream faded away.

Mainly short dreams. legs I'm on my bed and some girl is on it. She's all ready for... um, yeah. Sushi I'm at some mall with my brother and I decide to go to the food court and order sushi. that's it. Jamie 1 This was a quick one I had one the bus. It was a birds eye view of Jamie, but I was also Jamie in this dream. She feels kind of burdened also somber. She is filled with blue energy. Now in the Jesus dream where me and her are on the hill. where Jesus' arm goes through our backs, Blue energy comes from me, and Red energy comes from Jamie. Now she has blue energy. Not sure what this means. Fortnite. Okay really. I haven't even played this game much lately. But anyway, Me and my brother are in the backyard of my inner world house. We are by a pond or pool in a back porch area. there's TVs set up with video games. My brother wants to play fortnite for some reason. I try to play with him. I find an old controller but it has mad stick drift, it makes the game unplayable. Had another fortnite dream. In it I am one of the creators and we are testing out something. In this dream there are things floating in the sky like on Apex. We are all talking about technical shit I don't understand. IRL season 9 drops... and guess what. Now there are floating things in fortnite in the sky. Precog dream? What a useless gift to have. I want precog dreams that predict lottery numbers and cards to play for poker. what the hell is this? A few months ago I had a dream that Pewdiepie, decided to play fortnite. A week or so later, IRL he plays fortnite once on a livestream to fight T-Series. Jesus again Just a dream of Jesus showing me the door out of his office. I guess he's tired of me bugging him about the same thing... Jamie again. In this dream Jamie comes to live with me. I get home from work, or we both do. I lay down a bit and can't sleep. I get up and decide to have a quick smoke. I open the sliding closet in my room and get my jacket. Jamie is behind me and she grabs hers as well. I say to her that she doesn't have to go for a smoke everytime I do. I keep saying things like, Honey, and Sweetie, I wonder if this talk annoys her. She says she wants to. I realize I should just let her. suddenly she is replaced by my brother, and it's like it's been him all along. The house is different now. I wonder when he is going to leave since he doesn't have a job. I have other dreams where my brother is everywhere. He follows me around everywhere. It's like I can't do anything without him. It's so annoying. I wake up and wonder if some strange force is now making me perceive Jamie in dreams as my brother. Like family. Wouldn't be as annoying if it was Jamie.
I dreamed about Japanese school. Played hooky and friends drove way too far to another city. Got to an agency that was hiring. Had an interview? Was sent to Pakistan headquarters for some reason. Met my manager of this company to go to a restaurant to meet the vps. Turns out a vp was a friend of mine I met earlier at office and we hit it off. Fast track to the top, manager was not pleased. We were just drinking and I was singing in that bar. Dream was long. Afternoon into flight into hotel overnight into meeting to wee hrs of night. I think i dreamt about something good after. Notes : Forgot later dreams. Felt tired. Took a nap with audio felt better. paying attention to the very edge of peripheral vision helps may be important for awareness.
I dreamed about using the magic system I'm currently designing for my novels. I used it to hide it from people who I knew that had betrayed me (not sure what the context was). I teleported behind a stage curtain using my visualization and logical sequencing that I've been working on; I can't remember if there was an incantation or not. But there should be once I finish it. I also flew. And I made windows in walls to escape from when they didn't previously exist. It was the night and very beautiful. At one point, when someone was trying to harm me, I used my magic and his hand went right through me. They were convinced that I was about to die, or possibly a ghost. It was super cool and pumped me up to keep working on it!
INT. SEMINARY - DAY I walk down the hallway at the graduate school where my father teaches. Two or three other people pass me. I look an old man in the eye and realize I'm dreaming. What to do with my lucidity? I know, I'll look for Jesus himself! ME Show me Jesus! But he doesn't come. Maybe he's around the next corner? I'm waking up and I instinctively jerk myself out of sleep. In waking life I've been listening to Bart Ehrman's audiobook, How Jesus Became God. Next time practice some stabilizing techniques and try to stay asleep.

Paul Rudd’s coming over for a date with me. I’m serving up dinner for the family: fish and chips, sweet corn on someone’s plate, another plate got a cup of tea but it’s inside half a lemon or is half a lemon/lime, maybe that’s uncle Michael's. I put the plates on the floor of the living room, so we can all sit together. Paul arrives. I put our plates so Paul and I will be next to each other. He disappears off to the loo. I realise I haven’t started eating, after several minutes, though others have almost finished. I go get a plastic fork and start eating. After one thing, I eventually go for a second thing and notice only one prong is left on the little white fork. I show Jesse and Paul, and giggle. So yeah Paul comes back during that time and he says he wasn’t able to flush properly and sorry he took so long but that’s why(?) and also sorry but he’s left something in the toilet. I look to Dad to explain as I start to say “sometimes that toilet..” or something, not really sure and/or not wanting to be the one to say. Soon Paul and I go off somewhere to be alone and have our date properly. There’s Paul and me and another person, like blind Jenna from Pretty Little Liars. We’re on a hill, near a little waterfall, and there’s a wooden fence like for a sheep paddock. Maybe Jesse is there too, at some point(s). Before too long, things are going wrong. Paul doesn’t seem to be enjoying himself. Granted, I’m 20 and he’s 50, and I’m sure we both knew it would be weird. But I’m making an effort to enjoy myself (actually no duh I’m automatically having the time of my life iTS PAuL RUDD) and to help him enjoy himself, but somehow things don’t go smoothly. I just remember getting to the point where he was (or they were) offering me/us (me and Jesse?) a plastic case of little bags of nuts and like things, and I was suspicious from the start and trying to read the labels but they looked normal and I couldn’t see how they’d have injected anything bad into them - the bags were whole. So I tried to at least be polite and not let on, until he said something about having everyone we know die or have something happen from eating those, and that was of course the last straw, so I/we argue back to him/them, and at some point not too long later Paul and I are talking about what went wrong on this date and we’re talking about starting over and I think we wonder why I’m being so optimistic and forgiving or why or how we reached this decision and I say maybe it’s because I’ve been trying to make it work, not giving up - or something like that. So we try again. We go the other way from the house this time, walking along a grassy part near a river. Things go well, and he actually likes me. At some point I link my arm through his - my right, his left - and ask him if he’s having a good time. I just love being with him, and like knowing he too is happy while with me. When I link our arms, he’s noticeably a lot taller than me, the top of my head coming up to about his shoulders, perhaps a tiny bit above. I’m looking up at him. At some point we must be talking about how we’re having a good time this round and I say it could be because we’re going the other way, along by the river. The river is just nearby, in the background, behind us. We are walking along and up a bit, the long-grassed ground is sloping gently. We’re in a building, like quite a fancy house, carpeted, upstairs, quite a lot of space, and lots of people there, for an event like, a party or a convention. From some point we know it’s [our annual summer camp], but not at first I don’t think. I'm with Paul at first, and maybe Jesse and/or others too, and then Paul crosses the room through the crowd and I quickly look after him and try to follow where he went, before he disappears. He no longer looks like Paul, he’s now an older, shorter, wider man, with white hair, a black blue and pink horizontal-striped t-shirt, or that’s how I imagine him because he looks like someone you’d see like that, someone you can’t easily imagine without a fanny-pack. Then I remember we're looking at a house, and I'm excited because Paul and I have decided we're going to buy it, we're going to get married and live here. I'm so happy and excited and content with everything. We're about to say we want the place but just before us another person says they'll take it. Oh well, we think, we can find another place. When I woke up from this dream I was genuinely very sad that I was not with Paul Rudd. (

Had 2 dreams both lucid. I was in an upstairs of a house not the most familiar one. Maybe ldings house. There was a pc there looked like mac aio ones with large screens. I realize I was dreaming and ask R who was there "you know this is a dream?" and looked at me weird. Solved the rubicks cube at the end. Next I was spinning around in a large cylinder. I come out and I appear to be in a school. Lucid. Looks like the elementry/hs one bc. I looked around and found a girl from hs. I think her name was Sarah. She began spinning something she had into the air just levitating in the air. I had some dvds that I was holding. I tried spinning it but had some doubt and it was reflected and fell. I tried again with more oomph but still had a little worry it worked but crashed against the second floor and fell. Dvd broke. Dream giving me a plot apparently I'm suppose to be dating in the 90's setting. Notes: Little prophetic regarding mac All dreams recalled were lucid! Hurrah
Update with more info if needed. Two long dream. Short ld Hero group, air balloon. Magic travel with ?? To Pizza place . Something super powers. Wake One more dream here trouble recalling now. It was long something to do with friend and mall. Wake Laid still trained like last 2 days got HI. Saw vision of amusement park and b became a dream walked down University road. Scene change to hospital hall dark . Lucid now. Look behind me bright and fuzzy. Look front getting fuzzy. Touched wall and got clear, also licked wall for good measure it was grainy. Tried touching floor too tried to lick but woke. May have focused too much (vision single spot) and broke rem. Notes: Should replay dream in head instead of writing if feeling lazy. Progress is excellent.
A few weird dreams last night. I've been trying MILD to launch me back into LDing, but I've gotten nothing yet. Haven't been repeating the mantras enough, probably. First dream: I get really mad at my parents because they won't let me play with toys (which makes no sense because I'm 25 lol) and I was building with Legos and a toy globe. I said something akin to "I don't want to live in this world anymore" and they flipped out. I...really don't know where that dream came from ._. Second dream: My journal says "veil vs. not" and I'm not sure what that means. People were changing appearance/personality -- also don't know what this means. Black metal vs. pop with cats (on posters, I think?) -- I vaguely remember this, probably because I was looking at the Dark Lord Cat Facebook page shortly before bed. The last line in my journal for last night says "We all started hearing his calming voice deep within our thoughts." I don't remember what that means, either, though I do have a vague recollection of it happening. Creepy.
I am at work when I notice a shorter, pudgy blond boy holding a shirt and standing right by the mall entrance. He is sort of obscured by the racks of clothes, but i still see him conceal the shirt somewhere on him and then exit. I know I’m not cleared to stop people by myself, and I don’t know where Lainey is right now, but I run after him anyway, feeling that it is justified. I go up to him and just tell him that he needs to come back. I let him lead, staying pretty close to him, noticing how young he looks. I ask his name and he tells me. I ask his age, and he tells me something like 13. I think about how old kids are looking for their age these days. At some point a girl has started walking with us, like she’s with him. When we get to the door, I tell them to put their bags and phones up on the desk. I recover the merchandise, hanging it on the wall. There are Nike sweats, two things from Pink, and something from another store. Now, there are three 20-somethings sitting in here, in three chairs facing the desk. They have grabbed the paperwork and are filling it out themselves, nonchalantly. The guy in the middle is even reclining and has his phone set up and playing a video or something. I take it and set it on the desk. Now, it is the boy and girl again. I look over and notice the girl playing a game on her phone. I hit it out of her hand, saying “Get off your fucking phone, I’m not fucking kidding.” Now, it seems a little later, and I’m being invited into a house by a slightly older looking Nathaniel’s dad. I get the impression that the two earlier were Nathaniel and Beatrice and he wants to talk to me about it. He plays a tape or recording and I hear myself saying what I said earlier and hear the phone hit the ground. He politely tells me that he thinks I was being aggressive. His mom is here now too, and I tell them that I’m very quiet and so I have to try to be more assertive. I tell them we never try to be mean to people there, that we tell everyone it can be easy and we want it to. They seem understanding. I also tell them that like half of the people we get are homeless and that it’s saddening.
