It started like a lot of my LDs do. In the house I grew up in. I woke up at 10:30 AM (Yes, I could read the clock perfectly) and I didn't RC like I usually do. I walked down the hallway and into the living room and saw presents on the couch and chair and thought "That's strange, the only thing I can think of coming up is my birthday and that's more than a month away" I noticed the TV was playing something as I look at my hands because I notice how everything is quite strange and I hear an older style camera flash and see a flash come from my hand. So by this time I know something is strange and I do the Nose pinch RC and realize I'm dreaming. I walk out the front door and look around. It's a warm summer day (In reality it's a cold and crappy winter day). I enjoy the scene for a second, I look at the trees, the grass, the sky and I get the sudden urge to fly off. But before that I realize that the dream is sort of fading a bit so I rub my hands together and then rub my hand on the truck in the driveway and look around the scene one more time. The clarity has increased dramatically! I was absolutely amazed at how real everything was (Even though I've had many LDs that seemed this real, if not more clear than this). I decide it's time to take off and fly, I start running up the dirt road at incredible speed and jump. I start gliding through the air but then land again. I then remember Slash112 and his liking of Iron Man and thought I would give it a try. I imagine rockets on my hands and feet and aim them at the ground for takeoff. I fly sort of sideways into the trees and up into the air a bit, but then fell into the forest. I immediately try to take off again but the LD has faded too much and I wake up. I look at my clock and it's 10AM, I do the nose pinch RC again and realize... Sadly, I'm not dreaming
This is my first lucid - or, sort of lucid - dream since I started being active on Dream Views about three days ago and getting serious about actually controlling my dreams. I should note that I have had many, many lucid dreams in the past, but have never very much control, not even over myself. I'm not entirely sure if this was a WILD or a DILD. I attempted a WILD as I was going to sleep last night, and got SO close, but a strand of hair fell into my face, and was driving me absolutely mad, and I had to move. I tried to start over, but the housemates upstairs were making noise and kept distracting me. So I gave up, but kept the thought in my mind, and when I woke up later in the night, tried again. My second time waking up may have resulted in a successful WILD, with me losing some lucidity as I entered the dream, but I'm not sure. Non-dream Dream Semi-Lucid Lucid I'm in my bed. There are three others there with me, but I can only hear them, not see or feel them. (They are all "me" but I don't realize this until after I wake up. Whenever I am in bed, I'm talking to them, but can't remember what we were actually saying.) There is a fourth person sitting in the chair near my bed, guiding us through the lucid dreaming process. She tells the first "me" that I am dreaming, and it's okay to get up now. But before I leave the bed, I have to touch my feet together, one on top of the other. (Dream logic...) The first "me" sits up. My eyes are closed, and I touch my feet together like my "guide" told me to. Then I get up, and open my eyes. I'm in my townhouse room in the "village" on-campus at the university. My guide (who I never try to see, though I know she's sitting on the chair) asks me what I want to do. "I should make it daytime first." I try to simply will it to be daytime, but it doesn't work. I close my eyes and spin around, thinking "daytime" and when I stop, the curtains are open and the sun is starting to rise. My guide asks me "what now" and I tell her I want to run around on the walls like the scene in Inception where gravity is changing. She says she'll adjust gravity for me, so I run at one of the walls, and just as she said, gravity changes so I'm able to run up the wall. I do this for a few minutes, and then she says that she will be the one in charge of when gravity changes, so I have to keep up. Somehow I know exactly where she's going to shift gravity to, and have no problem keeping up. My consciousness starts to "drift away" from the first "me" and back to the bed as the first me decides that she's had enough of this and flies out the window. I'm suddenly back in bed, and the "guide" tells the second me that it's okay to get up now. So I start to sit up, but this me disappears very quickly. Finally, it is just the "real" me left. My guide tells me I'm dreaming, and it's okay to get up. "Are you sure?" "Yes. Don't forget to touch your feet together." I'm very cautious as I get up, thinking that I'm not actually asleep, and that my guide is lying. I do as she says, then stand up. "Are you dreaming?" I look at my hands. "Yes." After this, I no longer see, hear, or think about my "guide" for the rest of the dream. I start thinking about what I'm going to do now, but remember that I need to ground myself. I remember the tutorial I read about using all your senses to do this, so start rubbing my hands together, looking around the room, listening. I cannot smell anything, though I try. I can hear "May it Be" coming from my radio, and think that this is my "real" ears hearing it (it wasn't, I did not have any music playing) so I try to "switch" to my dream ears, but it doesn't work. I'm amazed briefly at how clear everything is, and the fact that I can no longer feel my body in my bed (this is something that has never happened before in a lucid dream) I remember the tutorial again, and how it said I should pick something up, like a rock. For some reason, there is nothing in the room small enough to pick up, and definitely not a rock, so I go to the window. I see a bottle cap when I look down and decide that will do. I can still here "May it Be" and look over at the table by my bed, where my radio and lamp are. Seeing the chair where my guide had been sitting makes me uncomfortable, even though at this point I don't remember her, so I look back out the window. I decide rather than taking the "easy" route down, I'm going to teleport. So I step back into my room, close my eyes, and spin around, thinking "I'm in front of my townhouse." I feel something change and open my eyes. I'm in front of my townhouse, and go pick up the bottle cap. I toss it back and forth a couple of times and "pop" it. Then I forget about it, and start running down the street, just enjoying how vivid this dream is and how for the first time ever, my movements don't feel hindered by the dream. I decide to start flying around and see what's there. (as a side note, either a DC or my DG, who I have never consciously met, taught me how to fly in a non-lucid dream when I was very young, and this has been my main method of getting around in lucid dreams for as long as I can remember, although sometimes I get "stuck" just a couple feet off the ground). At first, I try to go as high and as fast as I can, with the intent of going out into space, but though I try as hard as I can, I can't reach the clouds. So I stop and look around, and notice a mountain in the distance, and wonder why there's a mountain in my dreamworld, which other than this, looks exactly like my university campus. I decide to go check it out, and as I get closer, I see that it is a volcano, with many peaks and a large crater. I love rock climbing, so I decide I'm going to land at the base and climb up it to see what's inside the crater. On the way, I remember that one of my goals is to learn firebending and waterbending, like in Avatar: the Last Airbender. So I cup my hands and try to summon fire, but it fails. (I think this is because in real life, I was a bit nervous to try, as similar things have happened in non-lucid dreams, and it was quite painful) I then pass another mountain/volcano with water in it's crater, and try waterbending instead. I manage to pull out a little trickle of water, but I'm too far away, and can't get it all the way to me. I can hear "May it Be" again, and start worrying that it's drifting through again from the real world, but then realize I'm not actually hearing it, it's just stuck in my head. I debate whether to get closer to the water, or keep going to the volcano, and decide on the volcano (What are you doing? *slaps dream self* Goal number one: learn firebending or waterbending. *headwall*) I get to the volcano, and find that it is actually made of sand, and is on the shore of an ocean. Someone else is there, and she starts climbing. I follow, and make it to the top in a disappointingly short time. Once I get to the top though, I feel a "tug" and things get blurry briefly. Quickly, I pick up some sand and rub it between my hands, also concentrating on the sound of the waves. But there is another hard tug, and I wake up suddenly, really, really hoping that it's a false awakening, but it isn't. (note: this is the tutorial I was referencing near the beginning: Extending Lucid Dreaming)

Maybe something about the girl who sits behind me in philosophy.
This morning I had another 2 long dreams. Non of which were lucid. I woke up after my first dream, tried to remember it, went back to bed, and now I'm up, I can't actually remember it :/ I got the second one though. The second dream, I was walking with my fried 'S' down to my school, but we wasn't actually going to school, we were going home (We both went to homes were we didn't actually live) As we were talking, 'S' went to his home, which in reality, is 'E' home from the other dream. He then ran up behind me and decided to walk with me a little bit as his parents were all busy outside his house. As we crossed the road, we started to walk up a passage that I used to walk when I lived in my old house. The weird thing was, there were loads of cobwebs with spiders in the middle all up the long passage (Defiantly not the first time I have had this occur in a dream..) When we reached the end, I went into a house were 'JP' lives and 'S' went with me. But the inside of this house was exactly what my Aunties house looks like, but outside it wasn't. I can't remember too much of the dialogue, but I remember my sister tried to punch me (She had a ring on) and she missed, actually hitting my Auntie to my right and caused her to bleed. She was laughing though, and then my sister hit me.. Then I just remember going outside of the house with 'S' and doing something (Can't remember) __________________________________________________ _______________________________________ Upon writing this, I have noticed that I see a lot of people that I used to talk to on a frequent basis appear a lot in my dreams, aswell as having the occasional spiders and cobwebs. Will note if these keep appearing.
Im at this competition where we have to find teddy bears from the nature. We are at the pesäpallo field and theres H, J and M, atleast. I suddenly realise that J is not so good looking. I have to compete against J and M. I run down the hills and jump from these wooden platforms to another. Then I see the teddy bear and I take it, I lift it above my head and start to run the hill upwards. I see the dissapointed faces of M and J. After I've ran awhile I notice that I have a pretty good endurance and at the same point I feel exhausted and I grab this young tree because I feel like im going to fall down. We are on some kind of field trip with our class and at the same time its like a competition like amazing race, or something. Our teacher is complaining about my and N's shorts, but she doesnt notice first that I have shorts. Shes complaining about them because there might be snakes sliding in the tall grass. Next Im at this field wheres lots of grass its in the middle of a forest. Im watching out for the snakes and the next thing I notice theres lots of pink, long and big earthworms on the grass. S is joking something about them and then Im joking about them too, and like jumping over them. Then Im at this room wheres computers and guys surfing on the internet. Its my team from the competition. I find some old videos about L on youtube, and at first I dont want to show them to her, but when I try to switch the video there comes another video about her, everytime. Then L notices it and Im like "Hey heres some videos about you, well look at that" and shes laughing and "Oh my, I look so bad in those." Then we need to continue the competition and we are going downstairs to eat some food. I go to the stairs and feel like someone is going to scare me from behind. I turn around and this girls which reminds me of O, is laughing and says something "No, you noticed me". I go to the kitchen and O tries to scare me again, but fails. Theres some waffles for us to eat and H comes from a door... Next Im looking out the window in our kitchen and I see that L's team drives to the frontyard with a grey car. Im eating candy at the same time. I dont want to bump into them so I run upstairs to my room. I see that someones been "funny" and has turned on lights on ppls mopeds. The guy has got my mopeds lights to work and Im amazed because of that. I go to my brothers room to find out whos guilty and T is there. Im wondering to him how he got the lights on my moped to work, then he says something "I just held down the glutch and started it"
Dream Lucid Me DC SG Iīm already lucid. Iīm standing on my grandparents yard. I call for my spirit guide because I want him to teach me how to fight. I see someone far away and think itīs him. But as I get closer, I see that itīs just a bunch of DCs. I try to learn on my own. I open the hole filled with dark matter in my hand, which I discovered in one of my lucids. I want to see if I could use it as some sort of magic power. I manage to form a ball out of it and throw the ball at the DCs, but it just pops like a soap bubble without doing any harm. I try a couple more times before giving up. I start to look for my SG again. I find him and ask him to teach me. He agrees. Suddenly iīm in some arena and my SG has transformed into a big man. I see us from third person. Then I understand iīm playing a game and iīm holding a PS3 controller in my hand. Some man in the backround tells that the first to get 500 points wins. There are some text on the upper-right corner that tell what all buttons do. We began to fight and first he keeps beating me up, but after awhile I understand what to do and win the battle. Then we are sitting on some chairs. My SG is back to normal. He tells me about some "tags" which give me special powers. "But just donīt overdo it. By which I mean donīt use all of them at once. Isnīt this virtual world great?" ,he says. I wake up.
wbtb-indirect techniques i was having a little party at my house and then a load of gatecrashers turned up. i was in the porch struggling to keep them out. something to do with my cousin being friends with my uni mates made me catch on and become lucid. once i was lucid i just decided to open the door and face the attack. they just kind of went through me and faded away. i could feel it wouldnt last that long as it was a bit noisy in my house. there was a classic ibiza house style tune playing so i just danced for a bit to celebrate my return to lucidity and getting over a vivid nightmare scenario. later on i wasnt lucid but still managed to explain to a group of mates in a pub, the whole debt scam and how to avoid payments. then we were all in libya (watching too much news) and escorted around the place in an armoured vehicle. somehow we were standing in for gaddafi or something. i remember thinking that this was a plan to get rid of me, so should use this fear as a dreamsign. there were plants and vegetables growing on the side of the road. i didnt stand up for gaddafi but still explained that compared to our leaders who destroy all sorts of countries around the world, he probably wasnt even as bad. there was anamazing carrier green eagle type thing which transfixed me as my mates ran for cover
Good morning, everybody. Dream #1 There were a woman and man in some dark area at night. The area seemed to be inside, like in some dark, abandoned factory. The woman and man were both strong and sexy in a comic book sort of way. They were both very pale. The woman had red hair and wore some kind of small outfit. The man may have had pale blonde hair and probably wasn't wearing a shirt. The woman was the leader of a gang of killers. Most of the members of the group were women. And, mostly, the aim of the gang was to kill men. The man may have led a group of men. The man had done something wrong, possibly to betray the woman in some slimy, underhanded way. The woman was very poweful. She had the man in her grip. She was strangling him and drowning him in some pool of water. Eventually the man went limp. The woman may actually even have cut off the man's head by the force of her grip. But I now saw that the man had just feigned death so the woman would let him go. He fedll deeper and deeper into the water, as if this were a big river in some city. He had his head. He had been falling with his back down. Now he twisted around so his stomach faced down. He swam away. I knew he was going to gather people to fight against the woman. There were two women in a car in a dark, deserted, alley-like street in the city. Both women were part of the gang of killers. One woman had gotten out of the car. She had been in the driver's seat. She walked around to the passenger side and got the other woman's attention somehow, letting her know she should get out of the car. The first woman knew that the woman in the car was young and naive. The first woman was taking the second woman to the leader. Apparently the second woman had done something wrong and was now going to be punished, probably killed.,
I remember 4 dreams tonight, in the right order. In the first one, I was lucid. I was in a room with SI and my brother, I remember thinking that everything was really vivid. I told SI : "Remember the number 1!" He nodded, then I asked my brother "remember the number 26,5!" He said "no way, that's too hard." Now I notice a blue fluid on the ground, it was completely blue. But it behaved like water at the beach, it had waves and so on. I decided to get down and feel it, it felt wet on my hand, and as I laid down in it, I felt the waves caress me. I got up again, and looked at my right hand. I saw 7 fingers, then I wondered how many fingers I could have on one hand. I got up to 12, with 2 thumbs on it. Sadly, I didn't try to move them individually, that would be a crazy feeling. Then I got back to SI and asked him "Do you remember?" He thought a bit, and said "Yes, one!" The dream faded after this. Now I know for sure that DCs have a short-term memory. I have to look for SI in another dream again. At night, I was standing in front of a big building, together with Mr. Smith from Matrix. The building was about to blow up, but the only thing that happened was a big lightflash coming out the windows. Mr. Smith says that's weird, takes his gun and goes in. I follow him, taking my own gun. We tiptoe through the corridors, giving each other cover. I woke up, my family was getting ready for school/work. At night, I was one of two bodyguards of misaki (I think the show is called railgun or something). We are invited at a village, and misaki decides to take a walk around the village. After a while, we notice that men are following us. So we decide to run, in a formation. Misaki say something like "where are the other two when I need them!?" The followers get near us, they have horses. We run very fast, but the horses are a bit faster. Our formation can't be maintained at this speed anymore, me and the other bodyguard decide to face the followers, giving misaki a chance to flee. We can stop 2 horsemen, but one got through. I wake up. It is summertime in the morning, our family is doing vacation somewhere near the baltic sea. I get on my bike and ride to the city. On my way, I meet MZ, he has long hair now. I shake his hand while driving, he hits my back friendly with his other hand. He had tools with him, looked like he was working there. I think about how many people from my highschool do live here now. I meet some people playing outside, incuding MM and 13 (Yes, Dr. House). I don't know why, but I strip my clothes off, I only had two boxers and a t-shirt on. Then I enter a shop nearby, I am looking for food. I notice the shopkeeper, he was old and only staring in one direction, he kinda looked dead already. I found the food, but lost interest in it, and got out again. Suddenly, I feel ashamed for being naked, so I walk back to my clothes and dress one of my boxers. In the process, MM snatches away my t-shirt, and 13 makes a weird comment about me. Then MM throws my t-shirt against the wall,and in fell down into some bushes. We both arrive at them at the same time, But we only find money and parts of what I think would be inside a gun, including munition. MM says " you can't touch it!" I think that I am still a soldier, so I would be suited best to take it. Then I said: "You get the money, and I get the gunparts, ok?" She agrees, but I also trick her, not giving her all the money lying on the ground. The dream ends.
These were long dreams, but don't really have time to go into great details. Parking I don't remember the sequence of events too well. Something about my apartment. Then parking my car in the parking lot. I'm in a hurry so I do a sloppy parking job, blocking the spot next to me. I imagine a pickup truck is there. Then I am back in the apartment. I hear a knock at my door. It's someone from the apartment office. They are yelling that my car is blocking another person and I need to move it. Then I woke up and heard the banging sound of the construction site across the street. For a moment, it sounded like a knock at my door, just as in the dream. It took me a few moments to convince myself that the dream was just a dream and I didn't have to move my car for real. Paycheck I'm at work. I walk past Rachel in the hall. I sense she's trying to make eye contact, but I avoid her. She's wearing a pink t-shirt. I enter my office and sit down. I notice that my desk is facing the wrong way, toward the wall instead of toward the door. A man walks in and hand me my paycheck. I don't recognize him. I assume he must be new in the HR department. The paycheck looks weird. It looks like a Scantron test form like in high school. The amount is wrong too. It's about $450 dollars, I don't recall the exact number. That's way too low. I think for a moment that it's because it is February and that's a short month. So I walk to Rachel's office ask her about it.
Dream Non Dream I'm in a checkout line, trying to pay for my purchases, which consist of a bottle of expensive perfume, 3 packages of menthol cigarettes that I impulsively pick up, - Strange as I don't smoke, in fact I am very anti smoking - and something else of importance that I can't remember - I wish I could remember what this item was, I have a feeling it was important -. I have to split the tender, some cash and some on debit card. The man behind me is obviously irritated that it's taking so long for me to get it over with. After I am through the check out, the cashier pulls me aside and tells me in hushed tones that I should be wary of that man who was waiting to pay. She says that he was looking at my purchases in a certain way and she's fairly sure he will try to steal them. My man is waiting for me at the other side of the checkout and we leave, walking out of the store into this kind of desolate landscape. The only thing visible is an old barn up ahead. We look back and that man is following us. We try to hurry without looking like we're afraid. The man reaches the barn before us and comes out armed with some sort of weapon, a pitch fork I think. He demands we give him the items I bought. I hand them over, feeling very irritated.
About an hour ago I was falling asleep, repeating to myself "I will have a lucid dream" over and over. New thoughts and ideas would come into my head, and I would simply quiet them down with my mantra. Then I was in a dream. I was at my job looking through shelves and noticed that they were completely empty and I could see to the other side of the warehouse. I thought to myself "Finally!" I did a reality check, and instantly my balance and depth perception went insane! I had crazy spins and it almost gave me a headache. I then had a huge surge of relaxation waves rush over me. At this time I felt like I was in a chair, and the chair started to move quite quickly to the right. Basically unable to move I faded out of the dream. Then I noticed that my eyes were still closed. Its almost as if I exited a dream, and entered right into sleep paralysis. I felt like a lead blanket was laying across me. Then I heard this frightening evil laugh. I got really nervous and decided to overcome my fear with confidence. I took that noise and said to myself "Fuck yeah!" and acted like I was on a roller coaster, because at the time of hearing the noise that was the sensation I felt. I then tried to enter back into a dream, by visualizing a dream scape. "A beach" I thought to myself. But as soon as I started to think of the beach, the sleep paralysis went away.
This is my first entry into my dj. Last night I had my first lucid dream because I wanted to, it happened sometime between 6:30 and 9:00AM. in the dream I was walking toward a large wide set of concrete steps, I decided to try to clear the steps with one leap and I did! Upon landing a woman ( stranger?) with really curly hair and a large beaded necklace asked me how I did the leap and expressed awe at my abilities. I kept saying that it just takes practice. Even I was confused by this answer because it seemed to me athletic ability would be required, even though no human could have made this leap. In the next segment I told her that running speed was also required to jump that high. In my dream world running always feels bogged down and slow. But last night I figured out how to run! I gave her a demonstration by starting super low like a track runner, and pushing off really hard. Then, to help gain speed I remained low enough to help push with my hands.this all went down on the landing spot. At this point I realized the dream was starting to fade, I was able to extend the dream by suggesting that she and I go get lunch, and we did. We both reappeared in a sandwich shop. I said go ahead an order anything you want, I then turned around to look at her and she had changed into a man (also a stranger). Then i started to question everything and I woke up. The details of the dream are both fuzzy and clear. When I first woke up I was disappointed that I missed my chance for lucidity, and slowly started recalling points of control in the dream. The leap, running, and suggesting lunch. I guess this counts. Can't wait for tonight!
I was in a car with Fede. She was smiling, and trying to communicate with me while I was driving, but I couldn't hear what she was trying to say. She wasn't verbalizing anything with words to me, but I felt like she was trying to communicate as our eyes locked. While looking at her the sun was glowing a bright bronze color behind her, making her look beautiful. The dream faded... I couldn't remember what had previously happened, no matter how hard I thought about it. I realized I was dreaming and flew up into the air and floated back to the ground and at the same time slowly floated into a sitting position. I looked at my hands and shook them very fast so they were blurry. The dream faded... I was at what appeared to be my dorm room, except instead of drywall it was made out of wood, and had many different plants inside it. The window which latched open from the bottom like the windows from my junior high school were both open. I was playing guitar when I saw out of the corner of my eye a man peeking in. One of my roommates had left his bong out like he usually does in the dorm and I got very paranoid. I walked straight up to him blocking his view of the room, and asked him "What can I do for you sir?" He said that one of the dorm tenders hadn't paid their rent and he was here to evict them. I had realized that it was me he was talking about (I was late on paying rent this month!) So I told him I would go let him in through the front doors, and I latched the windows shut before he tried to climb through. I cleaned up my dorm room, and was going to go open the door for the man, but I got lost in the dream and didn't remember about the man until the dream started to fade.
I think it was Izzy, Alyssa and I- we decided to rent this motel/condo room in a woodsy area for some sort of vacation. Except the whole thing was really rather creepy. We all had a ton of luggage and it was really painful to carry it in the room, but we did. For some reason, we had to go to the gas station, so just Alyssa and I left. In the gas station, I ran into Loraine Warren and Chip Coffee. I was so excited to meet them! Afraid at losing my chance, I quickly said "Excuse me? Are you Chip Coffee?" and he said yes, and I was like "I thought so!" and so I told them how I loved Paranormal State and they were so cool and inspiring. I got pictures with both of them, the whole while thinking "My mom is going to freak out when she hears about this!" Loraine was kind of passive and disinterested. I tried to tell her how I read her books and my mom was so scared, she had to keep it in the garage, but she just kind of nodded like she heard it all the time. Then I said something like, "I just really think it's awesome that you guys are doing what I want to do" and she snapped out of it and looked at me like she was considering something. She said quickly, "You would want to-" and I knew she was going to ask me if I would investigate hauntings and wouldn't be terrified and I cut her off and said, "Yes, I would, if you put me in a group and I wasn't by myself, definitely." Her attitude changed slightly. She gave me an appraising look and I knew I won a little bit of her respect. So then we had to leave, and for some reason, Alyssa's car died so I had to drive the van back to the creepy motel. I really didn't want to, and Alyssa said she'd meet me back there. I don't have my license or anything, so it was very stressful driving back, thinking I was going to get pulled over. I didn't, and arrived, and booked it down the creepy wooded path to the motel room. Alyssa arrived soon, and I don't know what happened, but Izzy wasn't there anymore, and she had paid for the room, and something ghostly or weird happened, or we just had a weird feeling, and finally I'm like, "okay, she's not coming back. do you just want to leave and sleep at my house?" Alyssa jumped at the chance. We tried to pack our stuff but we had so much that we had to carry and it was just very exhausting and scary and stressful. Alyssa's car died, she had to use my moms.
