I had to be executed by being shot in the throat four times - by myself, then by someone else, then myself, then the other person again, and then I'd be dead. It didn't really hurt when I did it, but it was worse when they did. After the third shot, I went on MSN on my iPod to say goodbye to N and my mom. The time on my iPod ended in :69. Yes, I am writing this from the future, because I had another dream with a kinda similar theme.
HOLY CRAP so this morning my alarm went off early and I was able to go back to sleep for an hour. I concentrated super hard on falling back asleep into an LD. As I was falling asleep I remained totally aware and experienced those weird hypnogogic hallucinations with flashing light, strange noises and the sensation that I was falling. I was scared at first but reminded myself that it was normal and that I was just in the first stage of sleep. I then felt my body go limp as I actually fell asleep and went straight into an LD! (The whole feeling of consciousness was unreal. It was like my body was sleeping but my mind was still awake through the entire process) So I find myself in a doctor's office and let the receptionist know I'm there to see Dr. Ross from ER (I have a small obsession with Clooney) but she says I have to book an appointment with at least 6 other people and she finally let me in. Then I'm in this room with my best friend Jodie and she is trying to sell me different styles of pyjamas and then I started losing the dream and wake up
I recall very little but I learned how to tele-port using the spin technique, at some point I was walking around admiring the vividness of the environment when I decided to fly using the Neo technique( you know crouch then jump!) but I didn't want my subconscious to know that I knew I was dreaming lol ( sometimes my brain takes it upon itself to remove my lucidity,as in it comes up with a plot that always ends in me losing lucidity!) so I pretended not to be lucid by doing random things but after a while I was like f this so I tele-ported to a random elevator that I had seen in a video, as soon as I arrived the door pinged and some assassin looking guy in all black-leather walks into the elevator (im thinking shit im not in a mood for a fight) "hi" he says, uh hi I reply, the door opens again and he walks out, I then screamed out for an increase in clarity coz it was starting to get fuzzy but the exact opposite happened (thanks brain!) I even asked nicely and nothing, eventually it became super clear by itself to the point that all I could do was stare in amazement(going...omg omg omg!) Then I had a false awakening but I was ready for it, but I believed I was awake, anyway in the Fa I told my friend all about my lucid, then we went to this indoor petrol station to refill two small water bottles...wtf.. there was a woman there to help us, then we went outside and it was raining so I said (words of wisdom coming up.......) "dont worry even though its raining its still hot because the sun is shining".....
12/22/10 Expedition Fail Plans: Meet Tigress in the biome, explore ancient Babylon, take Lara Croft with us, I wonder if she even remembers me... The last time I saw or heard of her was when I was still with my ex boyfriend, James, and at that point she and James were going out together, she was one of his dream girlfriends. I imagine that's over since I feel that he isn't even dreaming any more, but I can't be sure until I meet with her. Another plan is to make sure Asuka is ok, and I wonder if I have been absent from the two Hogwarts schools or if I just don't remember it or if it is basically on hold until I get back, in time stasis, or more accurately I travel through time to get to the right point and time at each Hogwarts. The End of the World As We Know It I am in my house with my mother, we are watching the news on television. The news is showing nuclear bombs hitting some major US cities, and I question if I might be dreaming since there has been no word of a nuclear attack or threat of a nuclear attack lately. So I do a nose pinch RC, and I found I can't breathe when I pinched my nose… and that means I am awake? But the news story looks so surreal to me, I think it has to be a dream… doesn't it? I do one more RC just to be sure, and again I find out that I am awake. (The nose pinch RC usually works well for me, but this time it epic failed!) So I ask my mother what is going on since I just came out of my room to see what is on television, she says we need to get to a safe place, because the air force base near Tucson will no doubt be a target. So where can we go that will be safe? Leaving town to the north is not an option, because Phoenix will no doubt be attacked, too, so we would be driving out of a disaster into another disaster. The clear choice of a place to go would be underground, to a place where the blast wouldn't reach us, although I am still wondering how that's supposed to help with the radiation after the attack. I mention that to my mother, she seems convinced that after the first big rain, the radiation will be gone. I know IWL that this is not true, but in the dream it made complete sense, so now the idea was to choose a place to get underground. The best option we could think of is Colossal Cave, a system of caves to the east of Tucson, so we decide to go there. We are packing up our stuff as fast as possible, because to approach Colossal Cave means to get closer to the air force base, which means getting closer to the target of the attack… so we were in a big hurry to gather all our stuff and get moving. We gather the animals first, all into my mother's car since it is a bit bigger than mine, the car in the dream is quite a bit larger than her car IWL. Then we gather important things and hit the road. We have already been on the road for a bit when I realize I have forgotten my laptop, and I find that really upsetting, I want to go back for it, but we don't have the time. My mom is impatient that I need that, so she says we will go into the gift shop at Colossal Cave and I can get a new laptop there. I am impressed, as I know the Colossal Cave gift shop has only Alienware computers, and they're the ones who have the computer chargers that run on solar power or water power… so if I just find an underground stream I can keep my computer charged! Yay! And I can pick up all the software I need there, too! I am so happy I want to hug one of my cats. I look in the back seat and see there are about ten cats in carriers piled on the seat, the back end is full of dogs… way more than we have… And there are mice, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs running on the floor and several birds flying around… there's no way this can be real… then I wake. The University I am at school, but it is a much larger school than the one I have been attending, and then there's the fact I just graduated, but neither of those things seemed odd to me. I am in the halls, it is the first day back in class, so I need to go to my locker and get some stuff for the next class, and I find the locker with no problem. I remember my combination… it's 23-33-64, and I get it opened quickly. I put some stuff back into the locker and took some stuff out before heading off to class. The odd thing is I don't end up going to class, I head out to my car and start to leave. I am out onto the main road before I remember I can't go home yet, I have another class! But I want some food first, and there isn't time to go to another place to get food, so I pull back into the school parking lot to get a parking place, the parking lot is huge, but I finally get into the underground parking garage and I am able to find a parking place. I am hoping I don't have any problems finding the car when I get out of class! Ok, well I have time to grab some food at the cafeteria, so I head into the door closest to the cafeteria. I am thinking I technically shouldn't be taking time for food, because I have completely forgotten where my locker is and what the combination is, and I have also forgotten where my class is, but I am sure that will all come back after I have eaten. I find Tigress and a couple of other people sitting at one of the cafeteria tables, so I sit down with her. She starts talking to me about possible dream plans for the next night, she says she wants to go explore some ancient civilization, so we can meet in a dream at the biodome… I think about that for a minute, then I do a RC and discover I am dreaming. I tell Tigress we don't have to wait at all to set off and do something cool, let's go right now! This is a dream! Tigress looks at me strangely for a bit making me wonder for a bit if she might not be Tigress, but just a DC of Tigress… but I continue speaking anyhow, figuring it will be revealed in just a bit. I tell her I'll go get Lara Croft, and she can go get Daniel Jackson or whoever she wants to bring along, and we can meet back in the biodome. She gets up and does a RC, and says this really is a dream, awesome! I am about to open a portal to the world where I once knew a Lara Croft, I am focused on getting there, I am hoping I will still be able to do it. Before I can get a portal open, however, I wake. Tomb Raider: Return to Lara Croft I am in a place that doesn't look very familiar, but it still looks just a bit familiar like I have been here a long time ago. I see a large house with a lot of land around it, so I approach the house and go up to the front door. When I knock on the door, a man opens the door, he is a butler, and he seems to recognize me… and shows me in to where Lara Croft is. I had been wondering if she would remember me, but any question of that is out of my mind immediately as Lara greets me as she would greet a long lost friend… because to her that's what I am, a long lost friend. We do a lot of talking, which I won't go into extreme detail here, but I will summarize. She says she hasn't seen my ex boyfriend, James, around for a long time, and she has basically given up on his coming back. She asks how he and I are getting along, I tell her what happened when he lied to me and went off with someone else, she agrees he is an ass… to do that after all the time we had been together, I say I don't think he really loved me at all, he was afraid of being alone, and for that length of time I was convenient until he found someone he was truly in love with. She used to have a roommate by the name of Katana who went on some of her adventures with her, but Katana has since moved on with some really hot guy from Lara doesn't remember where… So Lara Croft and I spend some time catching up on old times, then I remember that there are things we have to do. Over time I have been becoming steadily more lucid… Now I am completely lucid… and I remember why I had actually come here to see Lara. I ask her if she is interested in going on a trip, going to see ancient Babylon, which is what Tigress and I agreed on visiting. Lara looks at me for a minute like I am crazy, then asks why I even need to ask that, of course she wants to come. She has some pokémon with her, I had forgotten she has pokémon, and before we leave, a persian and a pikachu join Lara and me. I open a portal, focusing on getting to the biodome, which is where I am to meet Tigress. A portal opens, and I lead Lara and her two pokémon through the portal and into the biodome. Unfortunately, however, I barely have a chance to see Tigress there with Daniel before I feel like I'm going to wake up. I focus on stabilizing the dream and it seems to stabilize. I tell Tigress I can now open a portal to ancient Babylon, and then I focus on opening that portal. The portal opens, but it seems like the effort of opening the portal has made the dream go unstable again. I catch a glimpse of the hanging gardens of Babylon through the portal, but then I wake up.

Non-lucid Half lucid Lucid Other notes I am walking homewards from somewhere (do not really know where). A boy who is about ten years old is walking nearby and has apparently just finished school. We mostly walk through grey alleys and corridors. The boy is doing something on his cell phone as he is walking. Suddenly I hear my own cell phone ringing. Or so I thought, but when I take it out of my bag it does not indicate in any way that someone has just called. I feel a bit confused and check if I have any missed calls registered. I do not. Then I hear the signal again and realize that it must be the boy who has the same melody as me on his phone. He notices me looking at him and walks towards me. He then asks me if I can help him find Florida on my cell phone and I know that he means on a map or something. However, I am not sure how I would be able to do that since I do not have Internet access on my phone. I try to carefully explain that I do not know how to find it and I hope to be able to talk myself out of this without revealing that I cannot use Internet on the phone, since that would feel a bit embarrassing. Apparently he has tried to find it himself for a while now on his cell phone without any success. Then the boy drops the Florida hunt, at least for now. Either the boy now walks away and my friend P shows up, or the boy transforms into him (not completely sure which). P and I are walking together and are happily talking about this and that. Suddenly it starts raining a lot. Fortunately, I have an umbrella with me which I now open. It is a bit broken and at least two metallic sticks are sticking out of it. However, it gives a good protection from the rain anyway. P seems to think that umbrellas are weird inventions that is not needed. He puts his hood on and is perfectly happy with that. It now also starts thundering from the rain clouds. We continue walking, but I am a little afraid that the lightning will hit the umbrella, especially because its skeleton is made of metal. I am therefore crouching as I am walking. Suddenly, P tells me that the top of the umbrella is on fire and points above my head. At first I do not really understand. But then I look at the other side of the umbrella and see that it is on fire. At first, I become a little shocked, especially if you consider that I had not noticed or felt any lightning on the umbrella. Then I throw the umbrella into a puddle and roll it around, making it thinner. In the end it looks like a black stick. I make sure to put out the fire well, because I know that fire safety means a lot to P and his family. He watches my actions carefully and thoughtfully and when I am done with the umbrella he seems satisfied. We are now almost at home and only have a long, steep slope to climb. We know that we should keep ourselves as low as we can and hurry because of the thunderstorm. Therefore we begin to crawl incredibly quickly up the slope which is wet. P, who now appears to have transformed into his little sister L or someone else, is falling behind. I feel that it is my duty to stay and wait for him/her and therefore I do so a couple of times during our crawling. However, when I stay to wait I stand up in my full height which feels a bit risky. But soon we have both made it up the slope.
I was on the top level of a shopping centre carpark, so the sky was above me. There was a problem with my laptop (just like IRL) and I think there were people I had to run from.
I cant remember most of the dream but I do remember arriving at a hotel in the dream with several friends after doing a bungee jump somewhere. We have two rooms with balconies that stick out from the building. We brought along specially designed cords that would supposedly stop us from slamming into the side of the building because it only stuck out about 3 feet. We went to sleep and decided to do the stunt in the morning. When I woke up I walked over to one of the girls that was with us and started talking to her. While talking to her I woke up and my dream ended
I was in a small plane. We were preparing to land. It was dark out and there was snow on the ground. As the plane got closer to touching ground, i looked out the window and noticed the wing was getting really close to a big rock wall next to the LA. The wing hit the wall and made the plane land sideways. The plane flipped upside down. I fell out of my seat and hit into the window and then the roof but it didn't hurt. I looked towards the back of the plane and everyone was still sitting in their seats upside down.
I was standing in a long line with other people. We were all dressed up. The people were a mix of friends and family of my step-father who recently passed away. We were inside a big open room. The room was all white. one wall consisted of all big windows. Infront of the windows were square island type stands lined up in a row that had palm trees in them. I was standing next to my step-grandmothers sister in the line, she eventually turned into my step-grandmother. From the other side of the line walked out my Grandmother whom passed away about 3-4 years ago. My mom was walking behind her crying with her hand placed on my grandmas back. I ran up to my grandma in total shock and gave her a big hug. I tried to say i love you but i was so choked up and short of breathe that i couldn't get the words out. I stepped back and saw my grandma crying looking at me. I started to cry and put my face in my hands. the dream started to fade away and i realized this and try to hold onto it but i woke up.
I was an action figure running from another action figure trying to kill me.
Not sure if this is a LD or not. I was standing infront of my house in the culdesac. My mom was there and so was my grandma. My grandma was moving a big RV from my driveway to my neighbhors. then my brothers car, my brother and my dad and some random dude appeard. The random dude was up to no good, he wanted something but i forget what. He shoved a big knife into the hood of my brothers car then lit it on fire. My brother noticed and went and stabbed the guy in the gut but nothing happened. So i tried to throw a knife at him but after i threw it, the knife veared off to the right and stuck my dad in the chest. I screamed out loud "Noooooooo!" My dad looked at me and saw that i threw the knife at him. He grabbed the knife from his chest and threw it back at me. It stuck me in my calf. The pain felt real. It stung and burned. I pulled it out and realized this must be a dream. I tried to change the scene but i woke up
last night i had my first lucid dream, it was exciting but a little scary/uncomfortable. I tried the DILD method after i woke to record an earlier dream. As i was falling asleep i told mysellf i would LD at the same time i imagined myself spinning. Ok so in my LD i was laying in my bed. I tried opening my eyes but struggled. I kept trying but i could only open them about half way before they shut again. I started doing this rapidly, it felt like i was having a seizure. I couldn't really control it. I noticed my room went from dark to light after one of the times i opened and closed my eyes. So i said to myself i must be dreaming i have to reality check. i struggles to get up and look at a digital clock behind me, i could barely see it so i put my face right up to it (at this point my eyes stayed open) there were rapidly changing symbols. i knew i was dreaming now, but for some reason couldn't do anything. i was stuck laying down in my bed again. i looked at my roomate whose bed was in the middle of the room. he stood up on his bed and faced me, his eyes were still closed. i tried to say something but my jaw was locked shut so i blew out of my mouth making wierd noises. I wasn't comfortable at all and tried to change the situtation but couldn't so i made myself wake up. Has this happened to anyone else before, or something similar? Any thoughts? Thanks!
I was driving my car, with my husband M in the passenger seat. I was in the left lane of what I thought was a one way road when we came to a red light. That's when I realized it was a two way road, and I had traffic coming towards me. I acted like everything was cool. Another car came towards me, also a Mini Cooper, and I made eye contact with the driver.. I think it was a man, and he nodded.
Television Method WILD Lucidity D Vividness C Control D I transition into a false awakening. I feel my sleep mask around my head, but I can open my eyes and see through it. Ugh, I have a headache. I must be hung over. I sit up. I'm in my own bedroom. The lighting is very early morning. My door is open. Through the door, I hear the TV on all static and I can see the glow lighting the room. I'm lucid but not thinking very clearly. I mindlessly stumble out the room to see what's going on. The furniture is arranged all wrong and the TV is the wrong model. I feel along the front panel for the off switch. I press it. Everything goes black and the dream ends.
Try Living Without Money I was in what was close to my house with a black girl and my mom. They were arguing about something dumb but I don't remember what it was, I just wanted the argument to be over. I got in between them and told them to calm down and my mom just wouldn't shut up. The we got into an argument about how she doesn't listen to me. For the first time ever, I stormed out of the house. She yelled out, "Try living without money!" in an attempt to get me back in the house. I didn't listen and kept walking. It was night and I was walking up a green grassy hill. There was a pathway with some street lights around it but I wasn't on there. I passed my cousin, Asia, and she was walking the opposite way and was on the pathway. She said hi as she passed me. I looked and noticed that she was bald shaven. I kept walking. At the top of the hill was a rom with all glass walls. It was a computer lab. Before I got there, a guy, for some reason, wanted to fight me. We got into it a little and like most dreams that I get in fights in I became heavy and it was difficult to move. Our fight continued into the computer lab on the top of the hill. Because I was getting so heavy I did something I think is interesting. I took off three sweatshirts (recently as it is winter I've been wearing layers of sweatshirts). I was instantly tens of lbs lighter, and my sweatshirts aren't tens of pounds. I started putting everything I could into fighting him. I was tackling and throwing all of my weight (not much) at him but I was careful to not damage the computers. AFter the final time of taking him down, I ran out of the computer lab. The top of the hill on the other side was a cliff that fell into the sea. I jumped off the cliff, and faked my death. I later climbed out at another point, safe.
