I had another dream before this where I tried the TOTM but failed. I was in my house, I don't remember what I was doing but something tipped me off that this might be a dream, so I put my finger through my hand. I became lucid and my first thought was to go do the task of the month so I went outside. It was night and the clouds were sparse. I focused on them and tried to make more appear. They started swirling around and a few more popped up but not enough for a storm. Then these weird red ribbons of energy started swirling around closer to the ground. It was really cool, sort of like something you'd see on an acid trip, but I sensed that I was making them swirl like that somehow. I tried to focus on the clouds and make more of them, make them darker. I was able to a little but no storm. I think I wandered around my yard a bit then I woke up.

I was in a room that looked like my bedroom at my parents cottage, but the furniture was different, no bed, more chairs and a table. There was a group of people there talking about LDing. There was an old guy(LOL percy, this is you) leading the discussion. He said something about the next class, and a guy who was taking notes asked him a question. I realized this was a projection of the MILD class from last night and became lucid. I thought about what I was going to do and decided I was gonna jump out the window and go do the ToTm. I lookoed at the shade and watched as it turned darker outside like it would if a storm was approaching. I grabbed the shade and swung out the window tarzan style onto the porch.
(At this point A Flaming Lips song off At War With the Mystics starts playing in my head, super happy)
It was already raining but not that heavily. I looked up at the sky and felt the rain on my face to increase lucidity. Then I caught some rain in my mouth cause I was damn thirsty. I focused on making the clouds darker and watched as they thickened and grew darker. I got too focused on one spot and the clouds formed a kind of pyramid, with a super black cloud on top. The pyramid shot out a big orange blast of energy when I started thinking about lightning. I knew this wasn't gonna cut it for the TOTM despite how cool it looked, so I looked away at another part of the sky. I focused on the sound of the thunder and tried to make some lightning to go with it. At first there were just sparks up in the clouds, then some lightning shot downward but it never reached the ground. I felt myself losing control and I knew I wouldn't be able to hold the dream much longer, so I decided that the next lightning strike would hit me and it did. It didn't feel like much, almost like being hit by a column of air. I wasn't electrocuted nor felt anything tingly like I expected. But it did knock me on the ground. I laid there looking at the sky. Now things really started to come apart. I held the dream for about 10 secs and woke up.

Non-Dream/Non-Lucid/Lucid

I am walking down a busy street when I perform a reality check and realize that I have six fingers. I look away and the fingers have not changed in number, so I become lucid. I try and change the number of my fingers by pulling off the excess finger, but decide against it once I remember other lucid possibilities. I then try an activity that has been eluding me for the past few dreams - flying. This time, however, I decide to begin the flight neo-style and jump from the ground to the air. I look around and realize that I am flying in mid-air. I take a couple swimming strokes to steady myself and take off (again as neo) with my arms by my sides. This causes me to fly straight into the ground. However, I am not discouraged as I feel minimal pain. I repeat the process again except this time hold my hands a-la-superman which allows me to fly with stability.

I fly over to a diner by the lake that surrounds the town and set myself down near the entrance. I then try another of my lucid goals: to become a super-sayan. I hold my hands in front of me and yell "camee camee caaaa!!!" in an attempt to make a light beam come out of my hands. The only thing that comes forth are small crystal-like particles in front of my hands that look like the beginnings of a light beam. After a few seconds I try again, this time with zero results. I then decide to go inside and see what is happening inside the diner. I look at the peaceable people having lunch and smash a table to pieces, (probably angry over my failed light beam attempt). The manager throws me outside where I was before. I then notice a large pole, presumably for telephone lines. I fly to the top of it and start peeing off the edge. I then look down and see a woman from the diner watching me. She asks me how I was able to fly up there and I tell her that we are in a dream. She is fascinated with the idea and asks me to teach her how to fly. I come down from the pole and tell her to jump into the air and use swimming strokes to stabilize the flight.

Suddenly I find myself in the middle of an intersection. The woman is there along with two other men who apparently want to learn to be lucid as well. I tell them all that we are going to fly to Paris and that they all should just follow me. I then crack a joke which I dont remember, but it went over well. We all jump into the air and start flying. As we go higher and higher I begin to lose control of the flight as gravitational instincts set in. I'm not sure when or why, but we all veered off into the building, flew through walls, and ended up in a room. I then decided (not sure why) that I would kill all of them in Saw-esque traps. I followed them around the room but they seemed aware of my intentions and evaded me at every step. After a while I decided that it would be pointless to continue and tried flying away to Paris by myself. However, I was pulled back into the room.

And I woke up

non-lucid lucid

I was at my old house that I grew up in and because of some unknown force I walked outside and started towards the school. When I got near I saw crowds of people pouring into the school. I got close and shuffled into the crowd and began to follow them. We walked along the grass and eventually came to a strange portal type thing. I looked upwards and there were flying saucers throughout the air. I somehow knew we were going to be judged within these portal devices. So when it was my turn I got inside and felt accepted somehow and then I was instantly onboard one of the flying saucers. There were other humans around me but also aliens.

I woke up for an instant and fell right back asleep.

I thought I had to go back home for something so I ran for the portal and jumped through. From the portal I was at my house again. The environment seemed different and everything felt empty. I went outside and the sky was gray. So I walked back to the old school and when I got to the field I saw a beautiful woman. We walked for a bit and ended up in some weird room.

I woke up again and this time reassured myself I would do a reality check when I noticed this woman again.

Upon rejoining the dream I was in the strange room again but the girl that I was previously with was not there so I did not do a reality check, but I knew I was dreaming and was partially lucid. There was one girl inside the room, but I wasn't interested in her. She told me that the aliens left this weird machine that could make people appear if you showed the machine and picture of someone. There was a magazine of whatever so I looked through and found an image of a beautiful woman. I showed the machine and she appeared at first and 0's and 1's and then formed a human. At this point I wasn't lucid anymore and I knew that I was going to have sex with this girl. So we started having sex and were going for quite awhile. People around were just watching and one told us to hurry up. This just kept going until I woke up.

I was with AJ, Steve, my mom, and some other random woman and her child in an RV going through the desert. We stopped at a gas station and went inside to get some things to eat. While I was inside I was really worried about what I was wearing for some reason. So I kept asking AJ if his new ISVERA shirt had come already so I could wear it. He said no so I went outside to look for some thing. I saw that my jeep was behind the RV which I though was peculiar. So I got inside and started driving around and went to the back of the gas station. They were doing construction so I couldn't get passed and turned around. When I got back to the RV everyone was getting back in. I thought my car was being towed so I came in fast and had to break hard, nearly hitting the RV. My mom got mad and asked what I was doing. I said I was just going to hook up the car to the RV. She got mad and said I had to drive it. I was freaking out that I had to drive so I started behind them for a bit. Then the car transformed into a bike and I was on a dirt trail behind the RV. I was riding over the rollers well so I started to gather some speed. I hit a jump going to fast and launched into the air. I landed awkwardly but rode away fine. My bike was making a weird noise but I continued on. So I was on an very awkward path near the side of a cliff and the RV was out of my site. I kept going but it was getting really dangerous. Suddenly I took a wrong turn and fell off the cliff, however I held on to the side and was able to grab my bike. Next I shimmed up the side of the cliff and took cover under a rock. I saw another RV up ahead that seemed stuck on a serious cliff. I was looking at it and did something that apparently tipped the RV over off the ledge. I tried to hide because the owners were outside screaming. They eventually found me but I woke up.

Non-Lucid

Me and someone else where in a large hilly area. We were both wearing camouflage, and had weapons. We suddenly noticed that we were on an American target range (We weren't American, but we were allies with them), and we noticed a group of trees about 100 metres to the North-West of us. We started running towards them, and as we did, a shell fell about 50 metres in front and slightly to the right of us. I felt the ground tremble, and heard other shells dropping. We reached the trees (There was about 6 in a long column, and were very large. Base was about 2 metres wide), and noticed that there was about 15 soldiers hiding behind them. I hid behind the first one in the column, as my friend went out to signal to them (We knew they were American). As he did so, a soldier on a platform in the trees shot him. I shuffled to the other side of the side that I was on, and looked round. There was a soldier about 10 feet in front of me looking in my direction. He started to raise his weapon. I tried to shout "Friendly", but I seemed to have lost my voice, and the sound didn't carry. I didn't want to be shot, so I woke myself up.

It wasn't lucid, but at the end I realised that I could end it. Also, the shell dropping was just awesome. It was like being in a warzone.

Non-Dream Non-Lucid

Woke up at about 3:15am, but went straight back to bed. Although with no intention of WILDing.

I woke up, and it was about 3:20am. I went downstairs, and my whole family was there. We just talked a bit and complained about waking up at 3am, but we had a good chat.

Woke up at about 3:40am. Went to the bathroom, and got back into bed. Again, no intention of WILDing.

For some reason I was at a McDonald's at about 4am, but it was an unusual one. The serving area was sort of like a toll booth, and working in the same way, although you didn't have to be in a car. I spent the next 10 minutes eating my McDonalds, and then I saw my sister, and we talked for a bit.

Not sure why my dreams were at the same time as I was dreaming. A bit odd.

Try Jaws (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was exhausted and had the oportunity for a WILD, so I went for it. I lay on my back, head to one side, with my hands on my front. Before I drifted off I reminded myself of the task of the year. The part I wanted to try was to kill the shark from Jaws.

There were a few strange noises as I lay there. Bangs and whispers that were far too close to have been real. Sleep paralysis came on from my legs. It spread out in a wave over my whole body and receeded a few times before it stuck. My head felt like it leant back an inch or so, my right leg lifted of its own accord. I feared I might wake up because my left arm slid off my body. However I suspected it was just a very real hallucination. It was. The hand was still on my stomach when I woke up again later.

I "woke up" at the top of a street near my house. It was night, but the roads were busy. Looking downhill, I could see Belfast Lough. The first thing to do, I reasoned, would be to find a boat with which to go shark hunting. I jumped into the air and flew down the street hoping to find one. I did. It was attached to the towbar of a big 4x4. Unsure how to get the boat to the water (about a mile away), I got on board to look around. I tried to levitate it, or push it in the right direction, but nothing was working. Looking back now, I think I know what went wrong. I was too lucid, and being too ambitious. I knew too well that nothing around me was real, which caused it to take on a blurred quality. From there, my stability and control went down the shitter. I should've taken it more slowly and done some stabilising techniques.

The dream went on for much longer, punctuated by several false awakenings. I tried to get to water or find a boat many times, but always ended up having the same problem.

When I was exasperated for the last time, I very deliberately looked right and left a few times to try and replicate LaBerge's signalling from within the dream experiment. Although, I had to way to measure to see if it worked.

I am sitting in a waiting room, waiting for my turn. I am in clinic that makes you dream. I am walked to a Trailor outside. I lay myself upside down on the Trailor ramp and a metal grate is placed over my chest.

As I am trying to concentrate, three people are talking. They talk to me and distract me. I see a purple light on the Trailor come on indicating my time is up.I cOllect my clothes and shoes and walk inside.

The technician at the front desk asked how it went. I reply "nothing, I got nothing from it!", I explain " there were people distracting me.". He offers me a re-do at a later date, but I am not interested as I feel its a hoax. The tech notices my disappointment and has an idea.

He takes me to a booth outside by the trailor. (I note that, like the same grate around my chest while on the Trailor, there were a row of them standing and the one in front said algebra 7). The lab tech says they can check the brain waves and see the readings. He confirms there was dreams but Still believes me. So he tries his own experiment.

He lights insence and smells it. He concentrates on it and abruptly falls to his knees. I hear the painful clunck. He stands up again but is still in the trance. Last thing, I remember thinking 'what a load of crap.'

I am in the store, Aldis, with my mother. It was like I was a teenager again. We were picking out food to buy. I was putting it in the cart. There was hardly anyone in the store, which is rare. At the checkout, it is a self checkout with no cashier. I see a teenager around 15. I think to myself, I'm around that age, although in real life, I am not. I start packing the groceries in various bags. I had picked out many bags of marshmellows but some of the bags broke and are spilling out the marshmellows. I begin picking them up, throwing them in a garbage container which took me some time to find.

Some of the shopping bags, being plastic, also seem to have hangers attached to them. I'm thinking that they are for clothing or certain groceries. I go to pack away a gallon of chocolate milk and the container starts to come apart. No milk spills out but I wonder why in the dream. It sort of pulls apart. I'm thinking, in the dream, gosh, there are so many groceries. This is a lot of work! I look at mom and say, see, if you had went to Jewels (a different store) this would have cost you $700 but here it only cost $100. Cashiers nearby hear me.

Yep, boring dream. Don't even read it. Oh, but if you got this far you probably already did.

Fragment

I am looking at a blob of purple paint on a canvas, I can see that it is WakingNomad.

somewhat vivid dream, I just suck with describing things so I won't bother.

I am in a museum, trying to find the exit. I find my way into a Korean submarine, I ride it to a house I believe is mine. we surface, and I thank the Korean woman piloting the sub. I go into the house and hang out for a bit, when the doorbell rings. It is a woman with long, straight red hair. I get a bad feeling about her, but for some reason I let her in the house. She hands a piece of paper to me, telling me I need to sign for the damages, or it will be my fault. there is some other writing on the paper, i don't pay a lot of attention, but write some random stuff down, and cross some of it out. I put down the pen.

It's been a poor few weeks. Recently, I made the effort to put my sleep schedule back in line. I hope I can make it stick and that will bring back my dreams as well.

Some other people and I were being chased by a group of guys. We were on an open plain, it was a sunny day, and I could see mountains in the far distance.
Some of the people chasing us were wearing loincloths, like they were a tribe of cavemen or something.
They carried rocks, and as we ran they threw them at us. A rock or two hit me on the head, and it hurt really badly. They caught up to us and started giving us a beating. I was knocked down.

Somehow I realised I was dreaming.
"This is crazy, I must be dreaming!" I thought. I did a quick nose-pinch, and sure enough I felt that awesome sensation of breathing through a shut nose - it was awesome because it meant I was God in this world.

Standing up, I decided to exact my revenge. Extending my arms, I felt the need for vengeance rise inside me. A swarm of bees flew out of the sleeves of my shirt, and descended upon my enemies. The attackers were engulfed - payback.
Fade to fragments.

-------------------------------------------------------------

All was dark. I knew I was dreaming, so I decided to create some light. People often said voice commands worked, and there was my chance to try it.
"Let there be light," I said feebly.
Why couldn't I shout? I wanted to say something epic in a booming voice, that would turn on the lights. But my voice was so quiet!
"Activate... light," I tried to say. It was like my vocal chords had gone weak - I could hardly speak at all now.
And so I was doomed to blackness.

---Non-dream---Dream---Lucid---

The dream began with me outside of a shop plaza with a classmate of mine. I was trying to get her into a restaurant in the corner of the plaza, where I planned on using the fifty cents I had in my pocket to buy ice cream. However, she was stumbling around and groaning, because she was drunk. I grabbed her right wrist and began leading her toward the restaurant. Eventually she stopped struggling and I let her go. She then reached down and grabbed a twig from the ground, which she threw at one of the people in the plaza. I immediately yelled at her, grabbed her wrist again, and murmured "Sorry," under my breath. After pulling on her a little more, I asked her if she had any money with her to buy something. She said, "No." I told her that I had fifty cents that I was going to buy ice cream with.

At this point, either I had a lapse in memory (when recalling the dream), or the dream warped me.

I then was in the parking lot outside the plaza, and my classmate had disappeared. Even though she wasn't there, for some reason I now thought of her as my aunt (but my aunt looks nothing like her). My father pulled up next to me in a minivan and called for me. While the car was still in motion, I jumped in through the open passenger door. The car did a U-turn so that I was facing the curb. We drove past a woman, and she waved to me (apparently my father was trying to show her that he found me). What's really ironic is: I think she was my aunt.

This is my first Lucid Dream... Nightmare more like it! :I started in a room I never saw before. I then fell of the bed and looked around. I started telepathically playing with the old Cheerios (Cereal) on the bar of the bed. I stopped doing that after 2 minutes and yelled,"Metal Worm!," even though there was nothing there. I ran into the living room and sat on the chair. I did a nose RC and very quietly said,"Oh... CRUD!" I saw the shadow of metal worm in the room I was just in. I closed my eyes because I was scared. About a minute later I opened then and saw that I was in my bed with my cat: Kali. after that I did a million Reality Checks! Wow! Thanks a lot, Subconscious! putting me Lucid in a Nightmare like that! Screw You!!! The End
