After finding this site i felt myself reasearching Lucidity, and with last nite being my first night trying the tips out in my dream world i am currently psyched that i was able to attain lucidity for what seemed like a few minutes and then accidently waking myself up. tho id have to say i was psyched i did it, in the dream i was riding in a cab wit a friend that in reality idk, nd have never seen b4, we were checking out an abandon building, as this is a bit normal due to it is a hobby of mine, it wasnt until we entered the building that i realized the outside was familiar, looking outside i saw my grandfathers back yard and after looking at the house i realized it was his house, but the reality check came in realizing that unlike wat my dream logic had convinced me that my grandfather own two exact same houses and only used one, i realized it was a dream, in which i began to begin to pull out, so i calmed down alowing my mind to accept it with things still a bit fuzzy looking, i tried walking around the house. that is when i ended up pullin out of it and awakening, unfortionately i dont remember the others but i was pleased with the success , i want to try to practice gaining lucidity for a few weeks and working with partial to minimal control b4 i star doing other things, i am still psyched

I haven't been able to remember a dream in what seems like forever, but I remembered two last night. Somehow this happened when I was on a terrible sleep schedule (accidentally napped for 2 hours, didn't go to bed until 5am), but I'll take what I can get.

1: I was going to a gigantic airport in the sky with my dorm friends and there were many sculptures suspended outside. There were minimal-to-no handrails. We got on this huge airship (I mean like a propeller-driven floating cruise ship with all the amenities) and we hung out until one of my friends in a lounge chair fell over the edge. Nobody was in the room at the time, so I had to let everybody know, except I woke up before then. Kinda depressing.

2: I was at this convention and I bought this game, then immediately warped back home where I could play it. It was pretty fun: there was an underground level where you had to find things with a metal detector but you could only move slowly, and there was a level where you could grind on the rails of a rollercoaster. The intro took place in a colorful half pipe. The controller looked like that of a Dreamcast. The game even had an option for content unlockable with a copy of a Ratchet and Clank game. I had to keep the system hidden, though, because nobody knew I had bought it.

Also, I tried to WILD after the nap. I could feel SP happening, but then I did RCs and I was still awake.

I have another day of teacher practice and have a lesson with a small group of students (maybe 3). However, instead of talking to them and helping them I soon find myself in a bed on the other side of the room. Just like the students, I find this a bit weird and surprising. I just lay there and ignore them while I at the same time start to feel guilty for being lazy. They seem to feel abandoned and they just sit there and stare at me with confusion in their eyes, apparently waiting for me to do something connected to the lesson. But I just ignore this, relax and pull the blanket over my shoulder. Right after this I wake up.

I had a dream that I repeated the day before. I took two spanish quizes and I made a 100 on one and I failed the other. Later I came home and ate some homemade soup and I got on the computer.

I had a dream that I was talking about the lucid dream I just had, the problem is that I can't remember the lucid dream.

This night's dreams are definitely going down as memorable. I remember a great deal of them, good stuff happened, and I briefly went lucid (Not in my last REM cycle even!)

The first thing I remember of the dream is being in an underground facility of some sort. There were lots of DC's everywhere. My RL friend was with me (as a DC) and we were looking around the place. We ended up in this room with two other female DC's (Who didn't resemble anyone that I personally know). They joined up with us and after awhile it became apparent that one of them liked me, and the other liked my friend. The environment didn't change much during the exploration, but it kinda did start to resemble the interior of the northern building of my high school. The girl who liked my friend actually kinda brought me to the realization that her friend liked me (I was ignoring the signs apparently). So I went up and grabbed her hand. I'm not going to go into detail of the next few scenes cause it doesn't really belong in a dream journal Now what happened next was the girls had to go, and apparently my friend and I had to escape the facility. There was hulk hogan and guns. Alot of my memory of this dream is hazy as it did occur in one of my first REM cycles, but I remember my friend jumping through blast doors right before they closed. I went back into the facility, found a bag with a handgun in it (with 2 shots). I actually did squeeze of two rounds without the trigger jamming like it usually does in dreams. I met hulk hogan with whom I apparently had a family connection with and we forged an escape plan where he ended up doing a bunch of stuff in character to some of the guards.

Now I don't remember if that was one whole continuous dream or if it was split by when I woke up. I cannot distinguish when I woke up in terms of my dream because the entire dream is blended together in my head (though when I woke up I took about a minute to review it in my head so as not to forget it, ill keep some paper bedside to write it down next time). Anyway, I tried to WILD for about 15 - 30 minutes and after not being able to enter the dream state (though I'm pretty sure i hit SP), I gave up and went to sleep normally.

Outside of the facility was a parking lot, but the whole world was blocky and resembled the environment of the game Minecraft. There was just something not right about it and I finally did pick up on the ridiculousness of the world around me by looking at one of the trees. It was make of blocks, and I could even see the seams between the blocks. Even the leaves were in large 1x1 meter block shapes. It clicked for me and I became aware. I didn't even have to throw down a reality check, I just became lucid. Now what I should have done right then was stop and stabilize the dream. I got excited but I actually didn't wake myself or become aware of my body. I just took off in one direction determined to find my dream guide. I actually saw a few blocky Minecraft people looking at me running and jumping around (half flying). I turned a corner and saw my mother walking in the direction I was coming from. I asked her if she knew where I could find my dream guide, but she just spouted utter gibberish to me and walked away. I walked into a blocky hut that I saw in front of me, and immediately my vision faded and I had a false awakening. Bummer.

I seemed to be back just outside the facility. I was looking at a computer screen and associated my LD's clarity to just sleeping with my eyes open looking at the computer screen or something. I didn't RC on awakening like I should have, I just moved on.

Much later, most likely in another dream cycle I was walking outside a building. There was a tank in front of me firing down the street at another ground of tanks. I threw myself flat and crawled to cover. I looked over at the target tanks and saw men scrambling out of the top. The tank beside me put another round into the hull of the tank and I saw limbs, blood and bits of people explode out ward from the hatches. Thick oily smoked poured from the hatch. I turned away and climbed onto the side of the tank nearest me. It took me down to the wreckage where I looked around a bit. The hulls of the target tanks were crushed and their lifeless operators just sat in the street where the rain washed away their blood. It was pretty nasty. I walked down the street to a building marked 'HQ' Upon entering I received a badge with my name and military ranking on it. I was a bit confused but I just rolled with it. There was a girl i was talking to inside with ranking 11 (my rank was 4). An Asian guy with ranking 101 walked in a little later to cheers of the other DC's inside. Eventually I ended up outside walking down the street. There was also a cat and mouse. I was holding the cat so it wouldn't pounce on the mouse. I could hear the cats thoughts of "Let me at him!" But for some reason I didn't let him. Memory fades at this point.



The next thing I remember is being in line for a roller coaster. Its an updated version of a local one. And resembles it greatly. I climb on board with a few other DC's, the restraints actually close this time and the ride begins. I managed to ride this thing mostly to completion. It had tons of inversions, twists, turns, corkscrews, barrel rolls, and spins. I even got a picture in my head of a dream I had months and months ago of the same roller coaster where I had refused to ride it because it had looked so terrifying. I don't remember the train ever completing its circuit, I'm pretty sure I woke up right before it did.

TODO: RC when I wake up! I think this is what's screwing me out of alot of potential LD's

Woah.. wall of text. I highlighted the beginning of the LD in blue and the end in red just to clarify it in case someone reads it and wants to give me advice without having to read the entire frigging thing.

You know, I have a lot of zombie dreams. Good stress reliever?

The House of the Dead -I found myself in some sort of giant mansion. It was sunny outside and I was wondering what was going on. I had an M1 Garand and a boatload of ammunition. I kind of took this as a sign that there was going to be trouble. As I explored the house I started to hear these load moans coming from outside. Just then I turned the corner and I saw the front of the house being invaded by the undead! Some zombies, some completely rotted and simply skeletons. When they saw me they screeched at me and the skeletons could sprint! I sighted up and began shooting, aiming for their heads. I walked backwards and retreated around the corner as I got one, two, three, four.. and they kept coming! I ran back down the hallway and killed the last few runners and then I had to deal with the slow zombies. They were very easy, and soon the entrance to the house was clear. I decided to go outside, as being cooped up in a house alone, it was only a matter of time before they got me or I ran out of ammo. I ran outside and was about 20 feet outside of the house, looking around. I was surrounded by vast gardens, but there was some sort of an enclosure to my left. As I looked around, a group of undead appeared right next to me, and a skeleton was withing breathing distance. Thankfully in the dream I had my size and height I do in real life, and I stood head over shoulders to them. I spun quickly and rammed the butt of my rifle into it's jaw, breaking the jaw and sending the skeleton to the ground. I quickly shot it and zig-zagged my way through the group of slow moving zombies that remained. I ran up some stairs to the large enclosure I noticed. It was very strange, it was about as large as 6 football fields, and there was a group of about 30 survivors with an ammo dump near the back of it! However, there was several thousands zombies slowly making their way into the enclosure, and the survivors were doing what they could to kill them. I was trying to get to them, but there were zombies on the pathway I was taking. I sighted up and began shooting, taking out most of them before they could turn to shuffle towards me. I began slowly making my way down the pathway killing as many as I could, until I ran out of ammo. Now I simply had the gun. I charged into the last group, swinging my rifle into their jaws and being careful about their bites as I began picking them up and throwing them off the pathway I was on. Finally it was clear to get to the group, and when I got to them they had split into four teams. I ran by each team and they seemed glad to see another survivor like themselves. Two teams were on the left pathway, above the main grounds, and two teams on the right. They were slowly being overrun! I ran to the ammo dump, grabbed as much ammo as I could for the M1 I currently had, and decided to grab a Thompson machine gun just in case. I ran to the right side, and for some reason they were just sitting there! A zombie had managed to get right behind one of the men, and was going in for the kill. I sighted up quickly and shot twice, killing the zombie and saving the man. It seems that woke the teams up, and we began trying to take as many zombies as we could with us. It was obvious we would not make it.

The next thing in the dream I remember is everyone being dead, and flames everywhere, destroying the garden. I was the last one, and using the Thompson to mow down as many as I could. I stood by the ammo dump as they came at me from both sides, and there was still several thousand zombies. At that point I woke up.

Well I am said because I never had a dream. Or atleast I don't remember them. I woke up and I could remember anything so I closed my eyes and thought really hard about it but nothing ever came up. *sigh* I'll try again tonight.

So last night in one of my dreams, my friend texted me. I replied something, and he replied back 'What?'. When I started to reply, my phones layout/font setting became a dharma wheel. I remember I was going to type "You texted me," but when I started typing Y became a dharma wheel, O became a U-like symbol, and the U looked kind of like a lowercase N (n). This is not a dream journal just a quick note

Since I'm getting back into the habbit of dream recalls I guess it's good to start somewhere.

I don't remember much but I do remember driving a white car (I said it was my dad's but we don't own it) and it had really bad steering. There was also this very active girl from my school with me and we were driving around the variety store in my area. We talked alot (though I forget about what) and I was later woken up by my brothers and sister..

I'm watching a TV ad for a new day care center, showing itself as "fun" for the kids. The babies enter the building by a catapult launcher, which throws them headfirst into tubes that then slow them down before depositing them in a central play room. All fine and good, but then the dream shifts into something more sinister. Babies keep on coming, row upon row of identical babies with blank stares. This continues until someone decides the only way to deal with it is to flood the world, and water pours over the packed babies to suffocate them all.

Dream 1-- Airplane theater

In an airplane with mom. We sit down in a very large craft, I think I am in an aisle seat. After a short while, I start walking around to see what is going on in the plane. As I turn a corner, the plane turns into movie theater and I am walking towards this giant screen in an open area. There is a U shape of seats surrounding the screen, but the seats look like the ones present in the gate when you wait for a plane. There are various people scattered around in the seats and they all seem preoccupied. None of them are looking at me, but I am looking around at them a little bit. I notice the ground is grey and there are windows out to the left of where I am walking. As I walk away from the movie screen, I see my mom sitting down in the second row of seats and I sit down next to her with a rationale that she is in a decent seat and we can watch the movie together. She is typing on her laptop, which is this small black computer in the dream. We don't talk. I go into PassObs and the dream ends.

Dream 2-- Fish City Grill

At first, I think I am driving my car into the Preston Royal shopping center in Dallas. This is my local neighborhood and I would go here all the time to eat, shop, and hang out. I am making a left turn into the complex from Preston road, and when I turn I start to go really slowly because I notice the entire lay out has change. It seems like everything has expanded and evolved from when I last remember. There is WhichWhich in a huge grey sign and a white arrow at the bottom pointing to the store. This sign hangs above a red sign that indicates another restaurant in the same location! As I find a place to park my car, I'm in autopilot, and focused more on looking around at all the changes. I tried to intentionally keep in my memory all of the names of the restaurants, but I can't at this point. I remember that the store right in front of me had a window in the front, and a dark red sign with it's name in white letters above the window. The corner store, that used to be Royal China, changed it's layout and there were glass doors that I could see through, and I saw this spiral staircase that appeared to go upstairs. In my mind, I felt like it had been replaced by a library. As I am walking forward, I see that basically everything is different, FCG is even in this new place, which is across street from its normal location.

As I am ready to open the door, my mom is next to me and she walks in with me. We go through the door, A PERFECT TIME TO RC (but I don't), and walk in. I feel very uncomfortable and I try to look to the left at the menus in order to avoid eye contact with the people behind the counter. Without really paying attention that the whole layout of the restaurant has changed, we continue to walk forward when I hear Mary, the manager, say hello. At this I get a fake smile on my face, almost automatically, robotically look over and say hello without even thinking. We walk over to her and chat for a little, it's the standard stuff. She is behind this wooden counter and I can see the chefs cooking stuff in the background behind her. We talk about college a little and I feel uneasy because I think I want to say something bad, but I have to hide it with a happy face.

We continue walking the whole time and go over to a table. This table is wooden and glossy, near the side wall of the restaurant. I can see a stony wall to my right, and some other people scattered throughout the restaurant. It's like I have extras in my dream or something to make it realistic! Then I go into PassObs because of the conversation with Mary and the lack of one with my mom.

Suddenly, we are outside the restaurant in a totally different parking complex and appear outside an ice cream shop with my dad, mom, Kaola, and another guy. My dad, mom, and I are walking to the car when Kaola and him go into the ice cream store while we wait. I shout something to Kaola about chameleonizing, and my dad talks about the antakarana in response. I say flatly, and curtly (which is really unusual for me, especially with my dad) "No, the antakarana isn't used to chameleonize," he just repeats the word, antakarana with a huge smile on his face as he sways from side to side with his hands locked in front of his groin. This is his habitual stance, and I apparently have recognized it's repetitive nature! I repeat firmly, without hesitation, that "no it's not used to chameleonize" and then I turn my back to him, something I have yet to do in real life.
They come back out, and high five each other but I put my hand up and don't get a high five. I feel bad. They don't even look at me it seems like. They walk around to the other side of the car while I go into the near door.

Dream 3-- Dying Cat

In my house and kitchen specifically. I don't really know what I'm doing there, but I decide that I want to feed the cat and fill her bowl up, so I start looking through drawers. One by one, I see they are filled with a layer of water. They still have all the normal contents in every drawer, except that the contents are floating on a layer of water! One drawer has a bunch of plastic containers to be used with the Magic Bullet blender, which is the first one I opened. I wonder why no one else can clean this up, and I start to get angry. I think about how we have a maid and she should be doing this work, and I think about how my mom is always trying to get me to clean stuff but can't keep her own house organized and something along the lines of "Why do I have to do everything to get things done."

As I am looking through the drawers, my cat walks in, meows, and I start petting her. She stands there purring. First I pet her shoulderblade and back. She turns her head and licks my hand. Then I go down to her neck and upper chest
I reach one of her "nipples" or something, and get a little nervous like she will bite me or react bad. She actually puts her head down to lick me instead. I can tell there isn't fur where I am petting so I feel like there is a difference when I pet this area from when I pet her back (I don't know if this is true in real life at all). I continue to pet her there and she raises her paw that's closest to me, I pull my hand away and she keeps her paw up without moving it at all. I continue to pet her. My mom walks in and starts talking to me, but I don't look up at her at all or even pay attention to the words she is using. (She is in a lot of my dreams all of a sudden). I am at the ground level and then I see another cat walk in. This cat is pure black if I remember right.

As I look back at my original cat, she is changing colors. Her fur is falling off, turning white, and where all the fur has completely fallen her skin is turning black, along with her eyes. I tell my mom "The cat is dying." She has this scary, holographic glow to her. Her eyes are black and green, and her whole body seems to look like the negative of a photo with the white and black being starkly contrasted. I have all of these thoughts about how my cat is dying and how it's sad. PassObs, wake up.

Now I'm worried that I just prophesied my cat dying! That sucks. I need to spend more time with her over Christmas Break if I can.

Dream 4-- Master of consciousness

This dream was rather long, but I'm reading a lot of book about consciousness right now. I can't remember most of the dream but it is similar to the dream I had two nights ago where I was writing an essay about consciousness. I was in the audience attending some lecture. Once again, there were people scattered throughout the auditorium. The curtains behind the wooden stage were red and all the chairs were red. I was sitting a little off center to the right, pretty far back. There was a speaker on stage who kept repeating that there were two key rules. The first was "Find and establish your presence" the second was "You have two bodies that dream of each other. You are both and can go back and forth."
I saw these two rules written down in text form on my iPhone "Notes" app, but I don't actually have my iPhone or anything out.

Dream 5-- Apartment Party

I am in this extremely large apartment alone. It's late at night, and I am relatively bored. I'm walking around thinking about what to do and where I am. I am sort of in shock at how nice this place is. There is furniture, various large rooms, and I walk into the bedroom. I call up my parents while I'm in the bedroom, but I don't remember even saying words to them I just remember putting down my phone at the end. I walk toward the front door, and I am in the living room, noticing that the floor is wooden, there is a carpet. On top of it there is a white couch and glass table with a wooden frame, with chairs on either end of the table. Looking past the furniture, I see Max, and another guy. I get relatively confused at first and so I walk towards to them to ask what's going on. As I walk, I look in the kitchen and see about 5-6 people having a good time. One guy has a couple of champagne bottles in his hands, there are a couple hot girls with glasses. They all have their hands up in the air and are shouting. I walk through the crowd and they don't even notice me, and I walk up to Max and ask him what's going on.

Him and his friends are leaning up on this counter to the right of me, and we are talking almost directly in front of the door. At this point, I don't think he told me anything directly about the party, but somehow I kept gathering information that pointed to that conclusion. We talk for a little, but I can't remember the dialogue, I think I got sidetracked from my original point by trying to act nice and not offended that he was taking over my apartment. I walk away from him and look around for a second thinking about everything in my head, then I walk back to him and ask how many people will be there
He walks over to this large chalkboard, crosses off 185, writes 170, and points to it. I notice that the number is written under LLL. I figure LLL is the acronym for the party, like LaLapaLooza, and I think 170 isn't that lage, immediately starting to imagine everybody in the apartment.

As I turn around, I am suddenly walking outside in what seems like the backyard of the apartment. It's this HUGE open area with a pool and grassy fields. There are cement walk ways also. Various scattered people again, doing their own thing. There are guys and girls just hanging out, and a couple of naked girls in the pool. As I look at these girls, suddenly, I am naked, and I have a purple dress in my hands. I decide that I should wear it as I walk back into the apartment to get some clothes. I don't feel nervous or embarrassed or anything actually, I am actually trying to think about what else to wear. As I am walking there is Josh from Drake and Josh to the left of me just staring and laughing. At first I try to ignore him, but I see him following me with his gaze, and I get really angry and look over at him and yell "WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME, LOOK AWAY" and he actually does it! I feel proud of myself, but wake up.

Dream Fragment 6-- Pull out couch

This was a dream from last night that I didn't get to record because of finals.

I am walking into a hotel room, and I approach a couch in the center of the room. There is a black TV to my right and normal blue couch to the left. The carpet is the same color as the couch. I have to move this table out of the way first, which resembles the table of the apartment but is much smaller. As I pull the couch out, there isn't any effort but I still hear the noise that I would habitually make if I were pulling out a heavy couch. As I pull it out I see two wooden sticks come out with the pillow at the end. This is my bed. I go into PassObs just staring at it and the dream ends.

Getting a little better at recalling my dreams I suppose. I'm just having trouble putting it into words so that others understand.

I enjoy the tv show Roseanne a lot and in my dream for a short period my mom and dad were Roseanne and Dan Conner. We lived in this rather large fancy house and were all running around quite frantic as if we were late for something. It was night and had snowed quite a lot. I remember the color of the night like standing in a street full of street lights at night. That somewhat soft amber light.

Dan, my dad, went out to shovel and warm the cars while Roseanne, my mom, started arguing with her sister from the tv show, Jackie. Ultimately the fight was about Jackie wanting to live her life and make her own decisions and Roseanne thinking she can rule everything, including her sisters life.

I stuck up for Jackie which pissed Roseanne(mom) off to no return. The next thing I remember was trying to touch up my makeup before we leave but not being able to find my mascara or eye makeup brushes that were literally just in front of me*. I kept asking my mom, who at this point turned into my mom, where they were and she just glared at me and ignored me like she does in real life.

Mom heads out to the garage and I see her get into my bffs Lebaron and back out like a mad woman. The driveway is like my bffs where it goes in a downward direction from the street. Its scary with the snow because you slip all over the place. My mom ends up backing off the side of the driveway into snow. The car turns its nose completely upright to the sky buried deep in snow on either side and Dan, my dad, rushes over to help her. She gets out still angry and starts heading towards me.

I don't remember anything after that.

<3

*Side note: I have dreams like this a lot where simple tasks take forever. In this case getting ready. I was attempting to touch up my makeup and at one point its going smoothly. The next I'm having trouble grabbing things, the things I grab turn from one thing to another, those things are possibly things I didn't even use when applying makeup, and then parts go missing giving me this fear that I'm being forced to leave or finish without completing what I was doing. In other dreams its closing windows or locking doors. No matter what I do they never stay shut or lock securely. Why is this?

This was just after a previous dream. I was either in my bedroom or my school's locker room. Since I thought I was awake, I did an RC just to be sure. I was lucid! Well not for a while. The dream felt really unstable and it felt like it was slipping away. So I kept breathing through my nose. Then everything went black. Totally black. But I was still breathing through my nose. 0.0

Yay!

I had another LD! But this time, I think it was from my WBTB.
I went to bed around 9:00 and woke up at 2:45. I stayed up for about 5 minutes doing RCs and went back to bed. I tried to WILD, but forgot what I was doing, and moved. Since I wasn't really thinking and fell asleep that's what caused me to have a DILD!

It all started when I walked into my room. I noticed that my clock was on the right corner on my bed and not on my bedside table when facing it. Also Kendyl was on my bed doing her hair or something. I noticed the clock and did a reality check. I was lucid! Of course it still felt like a regular dream, but better this time!

I walked around a bit, trying to fly. I can never fly in dreams.. for some reason. I remember my mom coming in my room and I wanted to show her what I could do. But I think she left or I forgot what I was doing. Also, after I looked at the clock, I kept looking back and forth at it. It was cool! The numbers changed pretty quick.

So I tried jumping up again. This time with my eyes closed and believing I could fly. I only jumped a tad bit higher but I wasn't airborne. So I gave up. For some reason I never left my room..

I saw a mirror on my wall so I tried to walk into it. It was kinda creepy. I put my finger in.. and it had a slight change in temperature. Then I put my whole hand in.. and it felt like I was going to touch something. Then I put my whole arm in, and finally my head. (The mirror wasn't big enough for me to step though) What I saw was my room, but everything was out of place and like on the walls.. I can't explain it.

Also I kept reality checking from time to time, just to make sure I was still lucid. I tried shouting "clarity now" but it didn't really work.

This was probably a false awakening but I doubt it. I hope I can do this again.
