holy shit. that was crazy. i cannot believe it worked. i was lucid at the begining, and only semi lucid in the middle, non-lucid at the end. recall isn't great

i woke up maybe around 1230 or so but didn't look at the clock. i decided to try wild and just layed down and thought "I am going to remember I'm dreaming. I'm dreaming, im dreamng im dreaming" and day dreaming. It got foggy a few times but i was able to stay awake and then i started to hear one of the dogs in the kitchen but tried not to focus on it. it made me scared for some reason but i held on. then i started to tingle all over. it lasted maybe 15-30 seconds and i remembered this is part of it and got excited...i couldn't control my breathing and was starting to think i was snapping out of it. i didn't know it was a good sign, but my eyes started to move all over...it scared me and i woke up....i think it may have been a false awakening though.

jeremy rolled over after a few minutes and i aske dif he was awake. he was so i told him how close i was. he patted me and rolled over. i got the laptop out and read about WILD.

I decided to try again. this time focusing on lying still and counting 1 im dreaming 2 im dreamking...etc. i got frustrated a few times when jeremy would roll over and touch me or the dogs would get loud(they make more noise at night than i thought) and eventually got up to go to the bathroom. i was frightened then for some reason but tried to ignore that.

I finally settled in and faded out a few times. finally, i could feel myself falling out of bed. i wanted to catch myself, but knew this could be it. i could hear jeremy trying to wake me up, telling me i was falling! i don't catch myself but i end up straight in bed 2 or 3 times and start the falling over(false awakenings?) finally, i fall so much that i know i MUST be on the floor. i feel around and i am in bed. i figure i must be dreaming but feel really silly. its too real, nothing is wrong. but then i look at my hand and it's funny...i don't remember what's wrong with them now though.

i know i am alseep, and try not to laugh too much. i turn to jeremy and say holy shit, this is so funny. he wont wake up...he mummbles and bats my hands away. I still don't quite believe it and am having trouble functioning. eventually i go to the bathroom and look at my hands again...there are 6 fingers, then 4, then 2 sets of 2 fingers on my right hand are stuck together at the base and flare out at the top...i KNOW i am dreaming. I decide to try to get to Marc. i put my hand to the mirror and push. sure enough, i go through. i end up in darkness, but i know i am in the bedroom, on top of a table with a black table cloth covering it. i count my moves forward so i can get out of the darkness if i need to. i go around the table/blackness finding nothing...so i go back. i exit in the bedroom. there is an old volkswagon van and marc is there. i don't think he says much to me. his hair is long and he is sitting in the van as if he is at a drive through watching something in front of him.

i remember worrying about waking jeremy up. i try to call out with him from my own body and even try waking up...i am scared for a minute.

i think i have a false awakening too...jeremy is shaking me telling me to wake up, i am half on the bed, with a goofy smile on my face and drooling.

still in the bedroom-cats, 1 with mange at least 3 of them, 1 older mostly black, 2 kittens black and white. jeremy is there, i tell him they are cute and grab for one of the kittens and cuddle it while it tries to squirm away from me. it has bad mange and a few sores on its back that i look at closely, then i put it down.

now in the livingroom and dining room-mister fighting adalie, not in a playful way lola is also there. they are following me around the house. i am trying to get outside to try flying. i think i do it? and am somewhat unimpressed with flying.

lucidity starts getting choppy...but this part is very vivid still. running outside at night...near some sort of school or warehouse. poeple are sitting around watching something in the sky. fireworks? shooting stars? i don't know. the people around are making fun of me...i guess i was naked or did something imbaressing like peed in front of them? i grabbed a plate thing...was very pretty and sparkly. greens, blacks and blue. was my sister's work, matched a pitcher. the man bought it but i wanted it. i dropped it as he chased me and the end broke so i told him he could havfe it. i flew over to the area where the craft show was to pay but don't think i got there.

marc came over to a hosue, not quite my house but close. i was home alone, there were clothes all over the place. he comes in and smiles, i look at him in amazement...wondering if its real marc or a dream character. he can see my amazment and says,"sorry for the old clothes, i wanted to come right over after ----something?---. . he asks if i wanna play borderlands or another game. his hair is super short and he is wearing a heather blue shit with bleach stains all over it. at this point i know it's not really marc *lucidity is almost gone i think*i try to tell him i don't want to play a game but i have a huge wad of gum in my mouth. i try to pull it all out but its all stuck and there's just tons of it.

there are 2 agents who go to an old womans house on a call. the old woman says that her son is keeping 2 kids in confinement. we/they go downstairs and find a chubby little boy and a little girl who is slightly older. i think they are hispanic or just have really dark hair. they are playing with baby toys and quickly turn around when we/they go downstairs. the room is carpetted and has a glass door leading to a yard, even though this is a basement. one of the walls is lined in mirrors but i don't look in the mirror(d'oh!) they dont recognize us and at first the girl yells "daddy! grandmas got us in confinment and..." and she trails off as she realizes we aren't her daddy. the female agent asks the kids if they have a phone number(presumably for their dad?) and they play a recording from a keyboard it goes "charlie, we have the alpha...something something...

i wake up

i will work on this journal when it's not 330 am on a work night. this was remarkable though...can't believe it! i feel very well rested, but know i need to go back to bed.

regular dreams: 8-26-10

I should have written these down sooner so I remembered more..

You Don't Deserve to Walk on Water

I was walking across a body of water, I think it was a lake, with a priest from my church. As we were walking on the water, the priest was reciting part of a mass, and at one point he started reciting the Apostle's Creed. In church, you are supposed to recite this along with the priest, so I remember saying along with him "On the third day he rose again.." but then realized I don't remember the whole thing(I've had this problem in church because I never pay attention but am now trying harder to focus and remember everything) and so I had to stop reciting it. The priest got really mad at me for not knowing the whole thing and told me to go away. I think he said that I was a bad catholic. This made me really sad, but I turned around and started walking back anyway. Then I was walking on a road and I saw my friend Allie walking and texting or talking on her phone with some of her friends. I wanted to tell her what had happened, and tell her how I thought the priest was crazy for getting so mad at me. I tried to talk to her, but she kept getting distracted by her phone or other people. I felt like no one would listen to me and got really upset.



Dark World

This whole dream was in a really dark and depressing setting. It was in an old run-down city with demolished buildings and fog, really creepy-like. I don't remember that much that went on in the dream, but I know that it was a really long dream and the setting was really vivid. I remember walking around and exploring for a bit. I saw a little boy laying on the street covered in blood. He was dying. There were about 5 or so people surrounding him and some woman with dark hair kneeling over him. I don't know if I was the girl with the dark hair or if I was just watching her, I seemed to be trading places with her. I don't remember what happened to the boy. Then the girl with black hair started wondering the dark city looking for a body? or a different skin? because she needed to hide her identity.. I wish I remembered more details because even though this dream was really depressing, I actually enjoyed it.

Ok i used to live in a ministry home with a bad ass pastor who helped people get off of drugs and u know took in people off the streets n gave em a good home, it was for a few years when i was 13-17 years old.
anyway last night i had an extremely vivid dream about a huge school that was like the fusion of the last two schools i went to, but also the place where our entire school went for a field trip, go figure, the hallways were filled with people and i dropped in on a few classes meeting up with a few people i knew and whatnot. soon though the school changed scenes to a house on a hill near my actual house the house is huge at least two or three stories tall with two floors going below ground as well and super coushy, and well furnished but missing an entire wall basically, its late at night and i go outside cuz i can't sleep i find some sort of treasure in the trees, i go to get my best friend to tell him of the treasure and we go out but instead of the trees there's a greenhouse attached to the house. This whole while there are ghosts walking around, their the ones who kept me from sleeping, also notably ironic seeing as how it was a dream, and video cameras are set up with the feeds going to random screens throughout the house, the ghosts popping up doin creepy stuff randomly. After the greenhouse bit i wake up.

I'm baaack.

The Monster of the Week gets in over its head.

This dream takes place in my old apartment building in Ixburg. The suite is a floor down from where I actually used to live, and it's been refitted with giant windows. It has a balcony with a fire exit, and the place is spacious and airy. Which is fortunate, because I live there with a group of people, and we're all sleeping together.

I'm alone in the bedroom when I see it. A presence has been on the edges of my consciousness for a while now, and it finally coalesces into a physical form. It's a black statue, shiny and carved out of something like obsidian or onyx. It's vaguely humanoid, but it's a simplified form. It has a somewhat bulbous head, but the rest of it is sleek, almost liquid.

Time speeds up, and I watch life continue in fast-forward. The other people in the apartment don't notice the statue at all. I have the feeling that it's been there for some time, and the fact that I can see it now means nothing good.

Ignoring the others going about their day, I stand up from the bed and walk over to the statue. It's immobile, but I can feel a dark presence.

It's moving. The statue bends an arm back, quick as lightening, and stabs forward. My mouth falls open in an involuntary gasp, and I see myself being impaled on the thing's arm, its hand reaching out through my lower back. I come to the sudden, horrible realization that I'm a sacrifice, and the only person who lives here that meets the requirements. Golden white light streams into my vision, claiming everything, and I feel myself fall back, completely detached from my physical form.

It's like being in the blue-white light from previous dreams, but this feels more like home, more a part of myself. I'm searching for something, cataloguing information that my conscious mind can't comprehend. And I feel it.

The "statue" exists before me as an infinitesimal dark speck, a mote of dust. The thing before me, the spirit inside the statue, I reach out - no, I don't even have to reach out. Just by existing in this state, I snuff out its tiny little black soul.

The light falls away, and I'm left standing in the apartment, completely intact. The dark presence is gone, and I allow myself a glimmer of satisfaction.

There's a reason they call me the Lightbringer.

Mugging the Monster. Scare Factor: 2.

I am in the equipment clubhouse pre-extension, and the back wall is open, but some people still use the side door for some reason. Natalia drops a plastic bag and a beige pie falls out that is topped in oats. She leaves without noticing. I see that my name is written on it in chocolate, and I realize that it supposed to be a surprise for me when they tell me I get my 5 the next day.
The dream continues into a marshy area at dawn but I don't remember any details.

For the first time in a looong time I drew a complete blank when I woke up this morning. It worries me because I've felt outta touch a bit with my routine and I'm not seeing any results. Optimism is the cure for dry spouts, I've heard, so I will go forth with positivity! Wish me luck guys.

this dream came the night after my first day of school. coincidence? i think not.

I don't remember any details now. its really fragmented. just remember that it was the first day of school.

I had this dream when i was about 6 years old and i remember saying to myself "it's just a dream" before i went to sleep.

i was in a club that looked like a laser tag place and teens where coming out of doors around me. I realized it was a dream and jumped about 30 feet into a bigger room. I saw a monster eating my dad and laughed because i knew it was just a dream. Thats all i remember.

I'm new here, and just got into lucid dreams. Here's one i had a while ago (non-lucid) and weirdly normal

Me and my old friends were walking down a street i didn't recognize and we went into a shop. then we left. It's the most normal dream i ever had.

First night didn't go so well couldn't recall a thing. Funny thing is I remember the dream from a night before but not last nights. My reality checks of been horrible. Advice anyone. Thanks

Odd pack of cigarettes (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I woke up several times with some finger pain and some pain on one of my teeth, so I did not have a rested night.
Two dreams (one lucid interrupted)

Second:

I was in home talking with my wife and she read from a pack of cigarettes, "Smoke test for be in the movie. Tobacco sold only to driven." I was going to go somewhere and I needed the tobacco. I told myself to RC once I got to that place because I was going to fall asleep and dream. I could not believe what my wife said so I read the pack of cigarettes myself. I read the same stuff. I found it very odd and I checked my hands. I had six fingers. My fingers were moving like tentacles without my command. I realized I was dreaming and I took flight to make my dream stable. I told my wife I was leaving. Suddenly, the dream vanished. My cell phone woke me up. Lost a lucid thanks to my phone. Oh well...

Missed dream signs:
- None.

Spotted dream sings:
- Odd pack of cigarettes.

Reality check performed:
- Hand check (failed - turned lucid)

abridged

I meet Raven near the base of the Tower with BanYanLand in the background. She says something about 'silly lion.' Apparently I morphed into a big werelion. She creates a portal to MoSh's Inner World.

We are in front of his house. There are weeds in the yard. He stumbles out, and doesn't seem to notice there is anything wrong, either with the yard, or his fuckin FACE AND THERE IS THIS CRAZY BLACK SLIME MOLD SHIT RIGHT ON HIS FUCKIN FACE!

It crawls out of his nose, and covers his entire upper face. Asuka silently screams. SHIT SHIT SHIT.

I create a portal behind MoSh to the Healing Glen, and tackle him. Raven follows behind.

MoSh gets pissed off at me for tackling him, and shoves me off. What the fuck is wrong with you Nomad?

I just turn on my energy shield, and play my didjeridoo.

Raven tries to explain about the shit on his face, but he doesn't notice. I figure out the thing's primary frequency, secondary frequency... I focus on its dream-matter.... I scan it... and LASER BOMB THAT BEEYOTCH. It vaporizes. There are a few little flecks which a dog comes and licks off. It playfully bites MoSh. He looks at his hands.

Normal. I must be dreaming.

Well, that was a weird RC man.

It's just that they always look so weird in waking life.

Oh... okay...

Well, you had some weird shit... a parasite on your face, of dark energy..

Oh, really?

It was distorting your perception.

Oh, right. I can see a lot better now.

It was gross man.

Really.

Yes! says Raven. Anyway, let's go back. Asuka is worried.

We go back.

Asuka runs up and hugs MoSh, and ruffles his hair. Thanks, guys, she says, and kisses him on the cheek. She looks him in the eyes.

Do you see me okay, now? Do you hear what I am saying?

She says something in simple Japanese, but I don't know what it is... something like, do you like my cooking?

He says, Hai.

Okay, she laughs. You are perceiving me correctly now, she says in a thick Japanese accent.

They kiss, and MoSh vanishes.

Darn, he woke up!

MoSh reappears a second later.

"Hey, it worked!" he says.

"It always works, silly. You just don't always remember. It's okay. You people are like Alzheimer's patients. Your dream memories are some of the most under-evolved in the universe!"

Underwater restaurant (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I woke up several times with some finger pain and some pain on one of my teeth, so I did not have a rested night.
Two dreams (one lucid interrupted)

First:

I was going to dine in Costa Brava. I was in a big city. In the dream it was mention it was London, but it was way different. It was surrounded by water. There was a big forest also and I think it was snowed.

My wife an I were flying trying to find the restaurant. We got to a small lake and I knew the restaurant was at the bottom of it. I knew I could last a lot underwater so I dove and got to the entrance of the Pata Negra store.

The door was made or iron and I knocked it. Eren, a co-worked opened the door and received me. I closed the door fast before all the water came in. The store was slightly different from real (to avoid confusion, if you did not follow me from the beginning, I worked at the Olive Oil store and at the Pata Negra store. With my new business stuff, I quit the Olive Oil, but even with my business, I still keep the Pata Negra job) The store counter was not there, there was a chair and the computer. I felt it was they way worked better for Eren. She hugged and kissed me. We talked about the store and I remembered I had my wife waiting.

I went upstairs (this is not true on waking) and I saw the Costa Brava restaurant. We wanted to sit in a table by ourselves, but we ended up sitting in table with other unknown DCs. My parents and some more family members were there. Someone sat between my wife and I. I wanted to trade seats to sit with my wife.

Missed dream signs:
- In a strange city.
- I was flying.
- A underwater restaurant.
- The layout of Pata Negra.
- My family.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Head for a ToTY

We are all little people dancing in a big tree. This dream is so vivid I can't talk about it. Ah....

It was kind of like a past life? Some monsters burned down our village... they ate us... they liked the fish in our bellies...

I and the survivors banded together and learned to live off of the land. We hunted the creatures, and we ate them in ceremonies under moons...

**
dancing on the moon... underground... lanterns....

and we are all gnomes....

this dream is so vivid, it's hard to describe.

Most dreams don't make sense, we know this. So, I'll just list whatever happened.

- Group of friends, we're hanging out in street. Walked pasted my cousin.
-Fell into lucidity, didn't last long. It was blurry, I woke up pretty quickly. I'm taking note that sleeping on my back instead of my side is very effective to becoming lucid, because I don't move around.
-Some bar that involves angels. Menu includes thousand year old wine, and other stuff.
-In new york, fountain pen merchant. I was looking at a Visonti dolci fountain pen, and a gold ringtop.
