Nonlucid
I was waking up in a hotel bed. I didn’t know where I was but I was still sleepy and maybe I just needed to wake up a bit. I noticed a woman was in the room with me but was not seen. I looked outside the wide balcony window and saw a large beach. The beach was unusually wide from the shore back to the hotel where I was. It was so wide I could not see the waves for the bump of the beach’s overall shape. I saw a tall tower on the beach that looked like a scaffold covered in black clothe. There was a horn blast from the area like an air horn. I focused on the area more and my vision zoomed to the area much closer. There was another horn blast and a silver fireworks stream shot up into the sky not too high. The firework did a circle in the sky and then fell to the ground, several fireworks circled or spiraled up into the air like this as I watched. I remember hoping no one was hit by the falling still sparkling fireworks but they always fell between people.

I see a hand facing palm forward. The hand’s fingertips elongate until the bones of the fingers pierce the skin and continue to grow. The figure who’s hand this belongs to screams in agony. All the bones extend to the point the figure’s skin sheds entirely, ripped from his body. The bony arms lengthen and the torso thickens… the bony feet take hold in the soil and wrap into the earth until the skeleton man now resembles a gigantic skeleton tree. A bone acorn drops from the tree and falls at the foot of a child who decides to climb the skeleton tree. As the child inches across the branch of an arm, it snaps, and the child falls to the ground. The child has broken his arm, and lies in a near-lifeless heap as bony roots pop out of the earth to wrap the child and bring him down unto its depths underground.

THIS IS ALL NON LUCID:

Field Trip:
We were swimming in a lake because it led to a cabin for a field trip. We all emerged on a rock then suddenly we all realized we all had no clothes on. I only saw the girls that I fancied and they were facing the rock cave walls because they were self conscious.

Then I went back to get my clothes and thats when i stopped forgetting.

Modern Warfare 2:
As an assignment in math class, we had to play modern warfare 2. Me being the computer expert in real life, strangely did not know how to set it up. So this cute, preppy girl in my class helpmed me set it up and then even though it was Modern Warfare 2 we played on nuketown from black ops.

My older brother and I enter a gray 3/4 level parking garage, The parking garage is located right on a narrow path cliff and water lurks a good 20 feet or more down. the sky is beautiful covered by clouds partly with sun glimmering through the majority of the sky. We went to the top level of the garage somehow. I then ended in an office with family the office was messy and the lighting had a bluish tinge to it.

Im not going to attempt anything tonight, im just going to get a good nights sleep and wake at 6 in the morning.. hopefully something differs.. for the better.

Finally lucid!!!!!! :banana:

[COLOR="#808080"][/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]1) It's night and I'm near X Street. I'm walking across the lawn of the house next to NC's old house and I begin to walk down the driveway. Wait, this must be a dream! [/COLOR][COLOR="#DC143C"]I'm lucid! I can't panic, I don't want this one to end right away like all my other ones! I need to rub my hands together and spin. I remember reading a Wikipedia article that said 96% of people can stay in their lucids longer if they rub their hands together The test was conducted by Stephen LaBerge, who's the most credible source in the field, so I'm going to try that. I rub my hands together while spinning and I actually don't wake up!! This is great; I'm finally in a lucid! I remember that I can't be too excited, or else I'd wake up.

I feel pretty calm and turn around to look at the road. There are lots of people walking down the sidewalk on the other side of the street, despite it beign night. They're kind of hunched over and are walking at a rather rapid pace. I want to kill them. Since this is a dream, I should be able to think them dead and they should die right there. I imagine them withering and falling to the ground, but they don't. They simply walk by and I try remotely killing another group, but this attempt is also unsuccessful. I look to my left and FH is there, presumably trying to attack me, but I don't really know. She's only about a foot away from me, so hopefully I'll be able to kill her because of the shorter distance. I flex my muscles and wish her dead, but she remains standing. In a desperate attempt to halt this menace before me, I try to freeze her, hoping that she'll be locked immovably in a block of ice for eternity. However, this fails as well. Discouraged, I walk back towards the driveway and begin to feel the dream fading away. I rub my hands again and can feel the friction, [/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]but I've woken up and the dream is now over. [/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"](Not really, but I think it's over.)

[/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]2)[/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"] False awakening from 1. [/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]I'm in the kitchen checking my phone, and I see that I have a text from my mother telling me good luck on my LD. I'm somewhat alarmed, as my mother shouldn't know about LDing!! I've been trying to keep it a secret from her. Oh well, it's not a big deal. The tone in the text sounds positive and she doesn't seem mad; by using the abbreviation "LD," she probably has at least a cursory knowledge of the subject.

3) I'm on a bus. DS's mom makes him come over to play with me. I realize that must be pretty embarrassing for him, but I realize it's not his fault, it's his mother's. He walks up to me and says, "BINGO!" He pulls out a game that's apparently called BINGO. He gives me a purple Skittle and tells me to eat it. I do, and he tells me the point of the game is that we both eat Skittles and then we have to guess how many are left in the other person's mouth. We have to try to swallow some without the other person noticing.

4) I'm in a store with JF. There are small glass items on shelves. JF and I talk, and AG and/or dad might have been there too.

5) I'm reading the newspaper in the kitchen. My parents are showing me an article? and they tell me that I'm looking through yesterday's paper. No wonder it looked so familiar! I pick up the one under it and begin searching through it for the article?

6) I'm dining in a very high-scale restaurant. There's an opulent carpet and everyone is wearing suits. A gargantuan chandelier hangs from the ceiling. The roof is open so we can the city outside: it's nighttime and the city is bustling and bright. JM is on my left and BS is on my right. We're at a huge table with a bunch of people from school and we're having a great time in this really wealthy place. I look through the place where there's no roof and see an unusally large plane. It says on it in huge blue letters, "American Airlines." It's going towards the White House, and I'm kind of conflicted - society has taught me that it's bad to wish for bad things upon other people, but in my heart I thought it would be pretty cool to witness a major plane crash myself. The plane smashes into the White House. I momentarily regret my decision, as perhaps just thinking that thought caused the greatest tragedy in American history. I know that thousands of people died, as there were were tons of people in there, including the president, at a huge party. I think about where I am for a moment, glad I'm safe. Oh, wait. I'm in Boston's Logan Airport, probably filled with thousands of people. Most people in the city are probably here. I look around the room I'm in and there are probably over a thousand people in this room alone. I look into the sky and see a train curving towards us. It has a number on top of it like a bus, but it's long enough to be a train. It's flying through the air over the city and it's headed straight for us. We're going to die.

Everyone runs around in vain, screaming like it's the apocalypse. I turn to BS and look at him before getting up and running down the huge staircase. It's a futile attempt, though; the train hits and we all die.

7) I'm on DV when I'm not supposed to be. My dad walks into the room and says, "I hear typing. You're not supposed to be typing now." I desperately try to close the window in fear, but he catches me. I'm in HUGE trouble.

8) UJ is on the back porch telling me about gifts he gave me when I was little. My mother has some stuff to say about them, too.

9) I'm playing through a video game. It's a really long game and it felt like I was playing it for days. [/COLOR][COLOR="#808080"]I think it was a really long dream.

[/COLOR][COLOR="#1E90FF"]10) I'm in an abandoned house and it's towards the end of the movie?????

11) I'm at the intersection of X Street and Y Street. It's the beginning of a movie, which is meant to be a comedy. An African-American middle-aged man had the situation under control, but then a young Asian-American (probably around 25) arrived in a police car, but he wasn't much help. He was probably an inexperienced new police officer.

12) I'm walking down Z Street, and at the bend something happens. (I look at a dog?)[/COLOR][/INDENT]

Only four hours of sleep last night, so no dreams. I was pretty stressed out because I had a lot of stuff due, which was the primary reason I was up so late. Usually I can't recall anything unless I have at least 8 hours of sleep, so I'm going to try going to bed earlier from now on.

*sigh* Yet another fruitless night
----------
I was in my grandfather's car, in the passenger seat. It was a pretty cool car - shiny, grey, without a roof. "I'll be back in a moment," he said and hopped out. We were parked in a car park. Suddenly the car began to roll backwards. I quickly jumped up and hopped into drivers seat and put my foot on the brake. Despite that the car kept rolling backwards although slower than before. I reached for the hand brake and pulled that but it didn't change and the car continued to roll backwards.

Suddenly my Grandfather arrived. "What are you doing?" he said.
"The car was rolling backwards," I said.
"You only needed to press the brake," he said.
I jumped back into my seat as he hopped into the drivers side.
----------
My Grandfather was driving me and my sister somewhere when he suddenly pulled over to the side of the road. "I think I'll go now," he said.
"But who will drive us back?" I asked.
"Your sister can drive!" (She doesn't have a license)
Then he disappeared. Laura pulled the car out and was doing a pretty good job at driving. Suddenly I noticed a 60 year old guy behind us with a camera trying to get a picture of the license plate. I threw myself at him and grabbed the camera. Then he pulled out another camera and I got that one as well. I jumped back into the car as he ran after us. For some reason I jumped back out of the car again. "Up here!" my sister called. She turned the car towards a cliff face and began driving on an extrely narrow road up it.

I turned and followed it. It should have been impossible for the car to get up but she was already up the top. I followed carefully, almost falling off the edge. Finally I reached the top.
I laughed, "Oh! We went up here because he's too old to get up here!" I said.
Then the guy at the bottom ran up at half the speed I had. I almost fell off and he grabbed my arm, "You right?" he asked. I nodded.

1- Why Reality Checks Are Useful
Driving has never been incredibly easy for me, but it's certainly never been this difficult! What is wrong with me today? Or is it the car? I flinch and hit the brakes nearly ten feet from the stopped car in front of me, but my stupid Kia keeps moving and bumps into it. Either the driver doesn't notice, or he doesn't care. More than a bit unnerved, I turn onto the interstate and head STRAIGHT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC!!! Oh my God, I'm going to die!

In a panic, I swerve to the right side of the road, lose control of the car (as if I ever had control in the first place), and slam into a vehicle who was blaring their horn at me in horror. My car is totaled. "Good thing this is just a dream," I say to myself right before I die.

I am majorly confused. My mother tells me that I wrecked my car, but I am certain that the crash was only a dream. Was it possible that the car was destroyed as a RESULT of my dream? Or am I dreaming right now? Hmm...

The dream changes. I am now a man who has been killing people in his sleep. The memory is vague at this point, but I recall looking at a lady with short blond hair who was holding a bloody knife...

Funny one last night, I dreamed that I was playing fable 4, and you really could do anything in it. (Not joking) There was some random guy playing a new Zelda 3DS game with bad n64 graphics. I played it for like a minute and then I Took the guy hostage. I forced him to run with me down a hallway with a gun to his temple when a black agent in a suit began shooting at me, I used my hostage as a meat shield and shot the guy in the head dead. I then left the dead hostage and bolted it down the hallway and bumped into a blond lady with a white suit and demanded "Where the exit was?" Then my alarm clock woke me Up the end.

Notes:
There was a whole other dream before this one, but I seem to have forgotten it. Maybe I'll remember over the course of today and write it down, too.

I was in the center of a ground-level vehicle parkade, which had low ceilings and was made almost entirely of gray concrete. The parkade was situated in a vehicle-centric city, because I could hear many cars driving around outside, but the noises were very quiet and hollow-sounding. There were small pot lights in the ceiling, but most of the light came from the sunlight outside, because there was a fair amount of it pouring in from the open sides of the building.

I was standing right beside a silver Toyota Sienna, or at least it looked like one. It's difficult to tell in a dream unless you're lucid, and I wasn't paying much attention to it from the start. At this point, I knew my mother was outside the parkade, paying for a parking ticket. She had started up the van with her remote vehicle starter, and I was keeping an eye out for it in case someone decided to get inside and steal it. Anyone could just walk into the van and drive away because it was all ready to go. That's when I saw a man walking by me. He was wearing a purple hoodie which looked fairly large for him, and blue jeans.

He then stopped and turned to me, saying, "hello, what's up?"

I said, "just waiting for my mother to get back and drive us home."

"In that case," he said, looking at the van and starting to walk around to the driver's side, "I'll take it home myself." The words carried a hint of aloofness, like he didn't care what happened. But clearly he wanted to steal it.

I ran around the side of the van and grabbed one of the white drawstrings of his hoodie, the ones that came from inside the hood. I pulled on it, not thinking I could do anything else, and started to yank him away. I saw the other drawstring and grabbed it too; now I was pulling on both of them. I proceeded to yank him away from the van, despite his protests of "hey! What are you doing?" and other, more nonsensical phrases that I can't remember.

After waking up, I realized the man looked exactly like Kevin Spacey, and he spoke like him too. I also laughed because I realized how stupid I had looked, pulling on the strings of the guy's sweater to get him away from the van.

Additional note:
I had a WILD breakthrough last night. I tried my luck at WILDing to see if I could break my dryspell that's lasted for over a year. I listened to white noise this time, a static-like sound, and within about twenty minutes I was extremely relaxed and felt my thoughts going in strange directions, without me voluntarily thinking about anything. It was a strange feeling, but one I remembered from a while ago. I also started to see small dots of white flashing around, which I observed for a mere few seconds. I accidentally forgot to stay calm and woke myself out of it.

Darth Vader is quite literally on ice, lying frozen in the bathtub. All part of your regular Wednesday morning kidnapping attempt. The plan is to free Vader from the control of the Emporer, and to take our chances with a renegade Sith Lord. (Large-scale mayhem is the most likely outcome, but to Parker, that might just be the most interesting one.)

I'm stripping the Stormtrooper uniform off of some poor, dead bastard when a man in a black flight suit rounds the corner. He freezes for a moment, processing me, half dressed as a Stormtrooper and the body half undressed... I shoot him in the head with a blaster pistol.

"Everything okay in there, Nate?" says a voice crackling through the earpiece.

"Everything's fine, Eliot." I reply, putting a hand to my ear. I scowl at the second, inconvenient body for a moment before a new plan starts to form in my mind.

"Parker, are you in position?" I say, pulling on the gloves of my uniform.

"Nate?" says Sophie, concern in her transmitted voice, "What are you thinking?"

I smile as I slip the Stormtrooper helmet over my head. "We're going to steal a Death Star."

Leverage. Scare Factor: 2.

It was year 2006, I was in front of my friends house and I met a woman that recently died. I thought that this is weird, she is supposed to be dead and then my friend came and said to me that something made a distortion in time and that we have to go fix it. I suddenly found myself in some weird place with pillars. It was DMC style, I had a sword and I was collecting orbs...

I was in my school, usual stuff. My old schoolmate was playing on some instrument. Suddenly I found myself in my old school in front of gym area. There was girl showing me some karate stuff I wanted to know but it was going very well. I was telling her that is okay, I already know that move...

I didn't get much sleep last night. I was pretty stressed out because I had a lot of stuff due, which was the primary reason I was up so late. Usually I can't recall anything unless I have at least 8 hours of sleep, so I'm going to try going to bed earlier from now on.

I wrote down notes for this a few days ago, but I never fleshed them out into narrative form. It would take a lot of work to do that now, and I'd probably forget some details, so I'm just going to post the notes:
