I ate some peanut butter before going to bed, which could possibly be why this lucid came up. I'm not sure. I have had some fleeting lucid experiences in the past, but none like this.

We had English projects due. I found that I was in a computer lab with some people I know in real life. I found out that this one person and Amanda, a girl I used to be interested in needed a computer, so I let the group leader ( a freckled, orange haired girl ) take my computer.

In the hallway, I see Amanda. The halls are huge and much more grand than the ones in my school. It's like a mix between a castle and a school really, and I can imagine colourful banners running along the walls, and a flag of course.
As I pass her in the hallway, a few seconds later, I suddenly realize that I'm dreaming.

I don't bother stabilizing the dream ... mostly because I forget to, and I'm caught in the moment. I'm awed by how life-like everything is. It's 'almost' exactly like it would be in real life, even though I've never been to this school before. I glance around rapidly, trying to find Amanda. I remember racing through the hall shouting her name, yet my voice comes out much weaker than I want it to. I spin around and close my eyes, imagining that I will appear where she is, but I don't really believe it and it doesn't happen. Students pass by me, but I don't really take notice of them.

After realizing that I've failed in finding her, I decide to go flying. It was an amazing first experience, although it felt more like I was levitating really fast rather than flying. I get scared because of how fast / high I'd went ( nearly hit the school ceiling ) and I slow down time so it feels like I'm going slower, although it doesn't really help.

I make my way to the school gymnasium. It's absolutely huge, with walls seeming hundreds of metres apart. There is this little playground-like area in the middle of everything, although it pales in size when compared to the whole room. Here, I remember to stabilize my dream. I think I was licking the floor or something, and trying to feel how real everything was.

I took advantage of an empty gymnasium and decided to do some tricks. I tried to do a few twisting things, but they really didn't feel 'right' so to speak. When I have enough ( only one or two tricks ) I fly out of here.
I appear outside of the school, where I can see the brown brick wall. I tried to go through the school walls. The first two times I hit solid brick, but I make myself believe that I can walk through it, and I easily slip back through. Back in the gymnasium, I try to picture myself turning invisible, but no success.
I do a pose like you see video game characters do before they cast a skill. I think I should choose a cool one, because I'll be doing this pose a lot. Momentarily I see my arm fall under a cascade of silver, but it turns back to normal just as quickly.

At the front of the school, I see two boys coming out of a car; one is young, looking no older than 11 or so. I ask him what my name is, and he replies "Your name is a list.", or something like that. It's rainy and gray outside. Soon afterwards, I lost lucidity and fell into a FA.

I think I was thinking about my real body, and that led to a loss in lucidity. Nonetheless, this was an amazing first lucid.

Mall Hospital

All one long dreaming marathon, I'd conservatively guess at an hour in duration.

Its night and I am flying around over some highways. [I find myself doing this often, I fly following the highway, this often turns into a driving dream.] I see a shipping port off to left and for some reason think that Superman's evil friends are coming into town. Then they are supposed to be in the car I am in. Then I imagine they are shooting lasers out their eyes at the under part of the over pass but I know they aren’t really here at all.

I am exploring in a building. There is no one in there but imagine there is and I am fighting them, almost like how a kid imagines that his action figures are real. I hide behind this and that and throw a flask of exploding oil. I feel that I would have won at this point and leave through the double doors.
I am in a mall like place with a lot of different people, hundreds, of all ages. I walk around and see some places that look like hospital rooms and those hospital desks where the professionals sit and do their work.

This huge mall hospital had a children’s section which I found after much walking. I saw one boy looking up at a hanging mobile. It was a colorful fish I thought. I saw water dripping from it and thought it might be the air conditioner moisture dripping down or the boy has a secret stash of liquid explosives up there dripping because of a leak! I liked the second idea and started looking around for a bomb. Bored, I walked outside after a little walking around looking in potted plants and stuff.

There was a large parking lot out here. I walked onto a grassy median and saw a penny on the ground and being a penny collector I bent to pick it up when I saw 2 more, then 2 more. They were covered in dirt and I could feel the grains of dirt between the pennies and thought I could clean them later. There were some teens boy and girl talking and flirting by their car who were caught off guard by me. I hoped I didn’t look like a dork picking up pennies off the ground.

Dreamy Feelings
Napping

I closed my eyes to rest a bit but did not want to become fooled by the deception of dreaming. Each time I would start to dream I'd catch it and come back to just being in darkness. I came to see that I really liked the feeling of letting go and letting my dreaming entertain me. This became the feeling I was fighting. It would be like being in a really good movie and trying to avoid it dragging you in. After about ten minutes of this I woke up surprisingly refreshed.

I am feeling there is a big entertainment quality to our dreams, that we need to some extent, this may be what is so refreshing about sleeping. It felt like my consciousness was a heavy load that I could put down and rest from. This feeling is in opposition to the euphoria of LDing. Its like saying you can't enjoy the play if you're its director. Still I will find a way to reliably become the regular director on a regular basis. It may just take denial of the seductive pleasures of letting go and letting the dreamy feeling entertain you.

People: Jacob, Franklin, Tessa, Chloe, Erin Janov, Kaia

I walk out from class and head towards the atrium. I am called by Tessa and Kaia to come over with them. Today at school was Dress-up like someone famous or something day, everyone was just dresses weird. I had jeans on, my florescent yellow shirt and a cape. Everyone kept getting on my case because i wasn't wearing clothing up to my potential. So apparently there was a contest, where you get a certain amount of time. Everyone was standing in a line for the teacher to pick the groups. The groups had to have people in them that were a team or went together. Jacob and Franklin were a team that had something to do with a little Indian. Unfortunately, i was standing with Chloe and Tessa, and as the teacher asked them what they were they awkwardly added me into their name. I wasn't very thrilled to work with them.
So when we broke apart to start our dance routine practice, i went with Jacob and abandoned my other team. Then i was standing there discussing the fact with Jacob of whether or not i should be with him and ditch the others. As this was going on, there was a group of girls farther down, and i kept secretly looking over at them. They were talking about me, whether or not i was gonna come over there, and whether or not Erin should date me, and she kept saying she didn't know me well enough, and that maybe i was more of Joslyn's type. Then i finally came to the conclusion that i was going to work with Jacob's group, so i climbed the railing and jutted myself up to the balcony. As soon as i did this, a few girls came from the other teams and they had cake as they climbed the stairs to get up to us. I knew they were about to shove cake in my face, so i took it like a man, i just said, "DO IT!" And they shoved it in my face while i ate some more that fell on the ground. Then they went away in defeat, disappointed. I then gave an idea about someone being Spider Man, because there was a Spider Man costume right there next to us. But then i became aware of the playground that was next to me on my left, so i left Jacob and the dream shifted.

I was on the playground, and all of the sudden i was surrounded by many tiny blue bunny rabits, those of which are from the video game about all the crazy bunnies. They were turning nasty and turning into sort of Zombie Bunny creatures. I had to run to get away from them all, and i was jumping from different parts of the playground trying not to get eaten. I finally, somehow, made allof them explode into a giant, mushy, blue mess of goo. Then i pulled myself out fom under the playset. Then it was over.

This dream was very quick, and very odd. I have recenty been playing a game on my ipod that is about a giant worm that attacks and eats humans. The dream was just that, except it was the dinosaur version. There isn't a dinosaur version in waking life. So it was weird to be seeing it, but it was almost as if my minds eye was the screen, for eveything that was visible, was just in front of what i could see, and that only. But as i climbed high in the sky in the game or lower in the ground, more and more similar aspects of the game showed themselves to me. It was quite intriguing that i could recreate the game in my dream. And at one point, the worm i was controlling was in a cloud and i had to get through it and eat more and more until i got to a certain part that i needed to eat. As i ate more and more of the cloud it revealed more abstract characters, images and aspects of the game, and it was very colorful, almos tlike the animaitons sometimes features in KE$HA's music videos. Then it ended. But the only reason i remembered any of my dreams at all, was because upon awakening i had the desire to play the game. While contemplating the fact, it snapped in my mind and i remembered the two dreams that i did. It was awesome.

Hotel de Sam (Non-lucid)

Hours: 9:00m Alarm: None Audio: Stephen LeBerge
(MILD and Trance)

This was a fairly unsuccessful dream recall night, but when i went to bed i wasn't really caring about it much other than the fact that i listened to Stephen LeBerge as i was falling asleep. The dream started out in a Hotel of some sort. A few people, i think they were reletives, were upstairs. I could look out over the balcony and see a bunch of poeple everywhere, on the outside of the doors. Up where i was, a small boy (Maybe it was Curtis) was trying to get down. He almost jumped over the balcony if it weren'y for the people holding him back. I went downstairs and out the doors, and for some reaosn i was really surprised to see all the people out there and Jacob was out there waiting for me. I met with him and we were trying to think of something to do or somehwere to go. As we walked away from the scene of a lot of people, i looked back and, i don't know if she was inside or outside of the Hotel, but i saw her, and i regretted not going back. Then it was over.

My Notes
Non-lucid
Lucid
Awake

I made a big mistake last night. I went to bed at around 12:40am. I then set my alarm to 6hours and 25minutes. This is the time I usually wake up, so trying to WBTB then Instant-WILDing obviously failed.

My first dream was short and lacked detail. I was in a crowded place with The Queen. She looked normal, but she was wearing black glasses and looked cooler in general. I asked her a question I thought of on the spot. To my surprise, she replied with a smile.

My second dream began outside. There were lots of people, and some guy was showing me something he had. It was a fairly big black horn. When he played it, the "Dun,dun, duuuuuh" sound came out (see this popular video). I'm now at school, outside the canteen. For some reason everybody is piling up to form a square wall. Even in the dream, I had no idea what the heck was going on. There is a girl, in the wall, near me who is upset. She keeps saying how she really doesn't want anybody on her. I later see a big black-skinned man on her, and she's fine with it. Hah. I see inside the canteen, they're making crêpes with pizzas. I'm really disappointed that I didn't bring more than $5.
I'm now at some big film award ceremony, like the Baftas. Behind me are hundreds of filled red seats, each row higher than the previous. I'm right at the bottom, on the seats furthest to the right.George Clooney is near me I seem to remember.
I'm on the stage, well, not really. I'm just viewing everything from the stage. Donald Faison is on the stage singing something. There are lots of women skating around him. I think to myself how much pressure they're under not to screw up.
I'm back in my seat. My little sister has the black horn thing. She keeps turning it on and making the sound in front of all the celebrities. I'm quite embarrassed.

I enter the dream in my bed and I get up. I look at the wall and there is strange red writing in what seems to be permanent marker. I try to read it but I cant so I just leave my house and start running. The dream starts to fade and I wake up.

Mr. Darcy's Project (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm in my room on campus, lying on my back in bed. It must be overcast outside, because the morning light is pretty dim coming through the window.

A pleasant Asian girl who I don't really recognize (but she seems familiar for some reason?) steps lightly into my room. I watch her as she crawls up in bed and sits on my legs, facing me. She says it's my birthday. That's cool. I ask her if she'd like to be my birthday present, and apparently she would. We begin to kiss, but then somebody interrupts us.

It's my middle school principal, and he's just walked into my room. He wants to check up on a project he's had me working on lately, and so I reluctantly but dutifully search for some important pertinent documents I've left in my desk. I'm looking for a particular sheet of information that he gave me on a previous meeting, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Time is running short. A woman's voice calls my name and I wake.

------

These are just some short dreams I wrote down in my notebook before I had gotten into lucid dreaming.

A.

This dream I was at my parents house on the front porch, and the porch had like 6 cats on it all of which I recognised but they did not belong there. I went out into the yard and my headphones were stuck in a tree kinda like a parachute would be, I remember it was really frustrating trying to untangle them and get them out of the tree. It was also really windy out and looked like it was going to rain. My mom said she was going to walk and get some food (I think she said she wanted taco bell, which she hates..). All the sudden it got dark out and people were talking about there being a killer on the loose, so I got in my car to go pick up my mom. There was a bunch of people (mostly kids) dancing in the street for some reason, and I had to keep dodging them in my car.

B.

This was a really short dream I remember walking down a long street with my roommates and I found a like brand new smart phone on the ground, one of my roommates wanted it but i wouldnt give it to him. Apparently we were walking to the bar, but it was wierd because I recognised the outside of the place as a BP (gas station) near my house. We got inside and it was really empty. I saw some chick I recognised from high school. I was looking at myself in 3rd person for a min (I had my hat on backwards which is wierd cause I dont do that). We bought pool balls to play pool then like left I think.

C.

In this dream everthing seemed animated and there were some characters from South Park in the dream. There was some drama going on between two cartoon people. Then one had an idea and the other one was suspicious of the idea. There was some snowman in the dream (in my notes I wrote "cool snowman not acutally cool"). Then we found Kyle (from South Park) in some junkyard and he was dead. And so Cartman (from South Park) was flying over the place in some plane and I think he was like some detective.

D.

This dream was really short, it was at a hockey game and my team was called the Pantheons. I remember that somebody scored in like the first 3 seconds ( I think it was me who scored it was wierd I was scoring and playing the goalkeeper at the same time). Then I remember the game was really intense after that. Then they subsituted some little girl in, and she like forgot her shoes or something?

E.

This dream took place in a map from the game Battlefield 2142 (Harbor map). There was something going on were there was an enemy team and then my team. People were like dumbells you find in a gym and they were rolling around trying to kill each other I guess. Somehow I was a dumbell and transformed into Stewie (from Family Guy). The dumbells were different colors I remember a green one, and mine was like random it kept changing. I remember rolling under some monster truck that was trying to run me over. There was some random suitcase on the ground (i wrote in my notes that it might have been a bomb). Some enemy dumbell kicked me off the edge into the water and as I was falling I mooned them.

F.

This is a short dream that took place in a somewhere that looked like the college I go to but it was like sloped. I was with some friends from highschool and they were smoking and trying to rap (This might be some line they were trying to rap I wrote down in my notes "Whatcha want getting moved with the biggy"). Some cop came over and starting smoking with us, we sat down on a bench and talked about something.

G.

I was in some buffet line getting some wings then I went and sat down with some people I didnt know. We were sitting at like a really long picnic table. I went to get something to drink and when I got back apparently the janitor threw my food away. I saw someone I recognised and he asked me how the food was. I sat down with him and talked. I wrote in my notes that this might be connected with the next dream.

H.

I was in what looked like some slums, though I wrote that i was at college. I had some tired dog following me around that I think was mine. I was walking on some country roads and I saw a place called the Frontier Music School (I have no idea what this is). Then I was at some sketchy house with a buddie looking at gas powered bongs. There were people there playing card but I thought they were faking it. Then I was back on the road passing the music school and I remember hear some soothing music comeing from the school. I reminded my of a friend i had that went to some music college so I called him on my phone.

I.

In this dream I wrote that I was in the 'Alpine House', I was with a friend, some chick, and 'Mr. Sketch'. There was some guy from the FBI in a boat (I think me and my buddy worked for the FBI and were undercover following Mr Sketch). The FBI guy in the boat was like our backup and Mr Sketch killed him somehow. Me and my partner knew what was up so he went out skiing to see if Mr Sketch followed him while I waiting in some cover with cameras trying to get proof. Mr Sketch knew what we were doing and somehow killed my partner, then came back to the Alpine House like nothing happened. We were in some hallway with a candle in it and Mr Sketch was hiding a knife behind his back. He got nervous and then we had some sword fight or something.

J.

I was driving on the road and we decided to stop at a gas station. A friend of mine was following me driving a semi truck. I was driving some old car and was having trouble driving it cause it was a stick. I got seperated from the guy following me and had to turn around, I remember having trouble turning the car. We met back at the gas station and there was some cops there. Apparently there was a wolfman hiding behind the vending machines.


I really enjoyed writing these stories it made some details come back to me about them, and after writing I though wow some of these are pretty wierd. Another thing I found interesting was in the last dream I wrote I was having trouble driving, something that happened in my first LD I found it really hard to drive cars.

Dream Lucid Partially lucid

Feb. 18, '11: I was in my parents' bathroom, in their old house, facing the large mirror. I suspected that I was dreaming and I tested it in some strange ways. I slapped myself in the face, but it didn't feel normal.
Then I pinched my nose and could still breath, so I knew I was dreaming. i looked at my hands and rubbed them together to stabilize the dream.
I went out the back door, to the patio and yelled up to the sky "hey dream!" I asked it how to get rid of inner fear and doubt, but I didn't say it right at first so I asked again. I got no answer.
There were some women nearby. I jumped down from the patio, onto the ground. One girl was being chased by someone. We both laid on the ground to hide. I asked her if she knew how to get rid of or lessen inner fear and doubt. She said singing helps. I felt like I was making her say it. Then I humped her for a few minutes.

I got up and she turned into a cat (why does that always happen?). I felt like I was about to wake up, so I looked at my hands and rubbed them together and everything got more vivid again.
I went around to the front of the house, on the porch. I saw the kitchen through the window. I walked through the wall into the kitchen quite easily.
I put my finger through the palm of my hand, mostly for the fun of it. I tried to stretch my arm to reach an object on the other side of the room, but it didn't really work.

There were more cats in the kitchen, and one at the door. I let it in and screamed at it. Then I wondered why I did that (a non-lucid slip?).
I thought to call Sheila again. I reached into my pocket for my cell phone, but it wasn't there. I was wearing pajama pants. So I picked up the kitchen cordless phone. I said "Sheila?"
And a voice answered, "yeah."
I said, "I want to see you."
The voice said "OK."
"Will you come to the house right away?" I asked.
She said something but I didn't hear it very well.
I said "What?" and there was no answer. I figured maybe she was on her way.

But then I woke up. I couldn't re-enter the dream because I was too awake and there were distracting noises in the house.

I'm in the library at work and LO is there.. I walk over to the other side by the resource room and there's a portapotty there. Exciting stuff.

DELETED

Dream in black and white
Personal interest level: 5
I had a false awakening. I saw myself in bed trying to sleep (not astral projection). I was thinking I needed to go back to sleep to have a lucid dream.

--
Personal interest level: 7
I dreamed I looked at my hand to do a reality check and counted eleven fingers on one hand. One finger was sticking out of one of my middle fingers.

This was not a reality check. I dreamed of what I've been thinking about for the last three days. The finger sticking out of one of my other fingers was straight from an explanation I read on DV about why looking at your hand is a good reality check. It was pure suggestion.

So, I count eleven fingers and don't even think that is weird enough to go lucid. I know that doing a reality check is a good idea even though it didn't register in this dream, but how frustrating is that?

Personal interest level: 8
Later I had another sex dream. I was doing something nice (O.S.) for someone else this time. A car pulled up. It was the owner of the house. I ran upstairs to get my clothes on. I had trouble getting my pants on.

--
Personal interest level: 3
Later still I had a dream that I was at my old high school. It had 5 stories or more. I was friendly with someone one grade higher than me which surprised me in my dream.

I ended up looking for a bathroom that I could not find. I looked down halls until I was at a lower grade from elementary school. I saw the kids doing more juvenile learning and turned around to go back.

I ended up seeing stairs to the school that were falling apart a little. It became a job I was on. The stairs needed to be repaired. I took on a helper and somehow made him cry about the job which he didn't really understand. I started apologizing and patting his leg like I do my own little boy. The kid wore kacky (sp) pants. He finally felt better.

The End

All the time I have been here I have never tried a WILD because they always seemed like a scary experience. But last night was a change. When I got up in the middle of the night everything was normal and I was going back to bed. But while I was lying there My heart rate suddenly would change and skip beats it seemed like and I couldn't move. I wasn't expecting SP at the time because I wasn't going for a WILD at the time. Then I started seeing white flashes. This whole time I didn't know what was going on so I was trying to break free of whatever was keeping me immobile. Eventually I did and after a few moments of pondering I realized that it was probably the beginnings of a WILD. So I decided that if it happened again while I was trying to go to sleep I would just go with it. And happen it did. I felt my heart rate slowing and getting weird pulses through my body and eventually my whole body started vibrating eventually I could feel myself be pulled out of my real body and into my dream body. And my transition into my dream was weird. I was in a little 1 man rocket it seemed like rushing to any unknown location. When I felt it land I opened up the cockpit and I was in my bedroom. While I was standing there the first thing I decided I should do is stabilize the dream. So I started doing some rc's, rubbed my hands together, did some simple math ect. And after about 10 minutes of nothing exciting but keeping myself in the dream I decided I was stable enough to go flying. So I flew threw my roof but what I found out is that the more I flew in one flight the less stable the dream would become and I would start blacking out. So I ended going in this series of basically giant super jumps to keep the dream going. After this experience I think I will try WILD again and hope I have more stable experiences liek this.
