I got a new pen. At least one good non-lucid in there and a dream in which I talk about lucid dreams.

NWO Take-Over w/ Population Reduction (non-lucid)

I am in a school auditorium and a man is explaining how this is the last city that hasn't been exterminated. The citizens are all locked away in another room. Everyone else has been exterminated. I don't remember much of what he said. He reveals one ring leader to be George Lucas who is pushing an older man in a wheelchair.

Somehow I escape and free the people in the other room who all fight back against the oppressors. We push them out into the streets. There isn't much NWO resistance. You'd think they'd have armed thugz. We push them out of the town and take it back and burn everything to the ground including a baseball stadium. That was real cool and vivid, the flames.

We know they will be back and try to finish the job so we pick watch guards. We find a spy van and another but destroy them. A fun dream that was so vivid at two points I almost become lucid. There was also a point in which I run into my house and find my bro on a computer with his friend.

Frags:

1. BroZ and I are in some car chase and our car has a mounted grenade launcher. I have to swtich multiple times and both shoot and drive. I did some Tokyo drift stuff. That was cool.

2. I am at a bridge with some old friends including Lee. He is playing guitar. We go back to my house where we hear some annoying new neighbors. We go over there and I enter the home. Don't remember much else but some heavy romance up in her room.

At one point, I remember going in between the houses and finding a swimming pool with a black man in it, smoking. He just looked at me like I was crazy.

3. I was talking to BroY about lucid dreams and he started telling everyone else. I was real mad because, generally speaking, I enjoy my privacy.

4. I was at work with BroZ. We asked to borrow a drill but the boss said no and we were real mad. We wouldn't make it to the store in time before it closes.

Type: regular dream.

I was in a large art room that had white walls and two windows along one wall. There were various plastic bins and cabinets arranged along the walls, with square wooden desks placed randomly throughout. There were probably five or six desks; some were at an angle, and others properly arranged, being parallel to the walls.

I was sitting at a table with five or six other students. We were finished a small project our teacher gave us a few days before; there was one project sheet, obviously photocopied, in front of us. I was able to read the full amount of text, but I only remember segments, which are written in the image.

If you can't read the text, the objective was to fill in the boxes on this sheet of paper, and present "the elements" of four seasons, one season in each box.

I had this sheet in front of me, and it was completed. My drawings were done with graphite pencil, without any color, but I knew it was sufficient to get a good mark. In the spring box, I put a sailboat and water, and in the summer box I put beach towels and an umbrella in sand. For the fall box I drew leaves blowing in the wind, and for the winter one, I drew a toboggan and a tuque.

My teacher came around, wearing her usual white art coat dotted with specks of dried paint. She leaned over my shoulder as she'd normally do in real life (creepy), and examined my submission. "This is all wrong", she told me, disappointed. "I said to draw the elements, not this stuff". I turned around and looked at her, now standing upright. "You didn't say the weather elements," I said. "How was I supposed to know?"

"Regardless, you'll get a D-". She then snatched my paper and walked away, leaving me pissed off and confused.

UGH I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL SOMEBODY. Sorry, please excuse that. But I can't stand this damn computer anymore!!!!! This is the FOURTH time I had to re-load this page and the THIRD time I had to write this whole thing down again because my stupid computer keeps redirecting me to someone's advertising page! WTF. This won't stop happening and it's so annoying!!!!

Anyway, now that I got that off my chest, I decided that I should post at least one dream from last night because I haven't posted anything in awhile. Let's hope I can actually get it to work this time!

Exploring People's Houses

Me, my dad, and two of my friends went to this place kind of in the woods where there were a bunch of fancy houses. To get to each house, you had to climb some stone steps and walk through wooden walkways that were in the air held up by ropes or something like that. The first house we went into was amazing. It was small but still had a lot of space and had a modern style. To get to the next house, we went outside and walked up another set of stone steps. This house was even more beautiful. Again, it was modern style. I remember stopping to admire a chair. It was a two story house, so I was the first one up the stairs. Standing at the top of the stairs, I heard voices and looked and saw that the owners were home, talking on the porch! I told everyone to run and we ran as quietly and quickly as possible back down the stairs, past the other house, and back to the wooden walkways/bridges. They had seen us now and were chasing us. I had to get us away somehow. My dad was gone, I don't know where he went. I was on a higher level and my friends were across from me on a lower level. I had to get them up here, so I flew down, told Ali to grab my hand, and flew her back up to the high spot. Then I went back down to Katelyn, who seemed resistant to go. I grabbed her anyway and flew her up. Don't remember anything after that.



Church

My friends(including Brittany, Nicole, and others) were going to sleep over at my house for my birthday but my mom wanted me to go to church, so she made me and all my friends go to church even though most of them are Athiest. I felt bad for Nicole because she was really against my religion and she was forced to go. I was surprised that she came at all. We took a seat up front somewhere. In the church there was a large tv hanging from one of the walls and every once in awhile, the priest would pause and take a "commercial brake" or something like that, and the tv would show commercials. I remember at one point in the dream, I got up and when I came back, all my friends had their shirts off and were wearing colorful bras. I quickly grabbed some random red bra from somewhere and put it around me(with my shirt on) because apparently everyone was wearing them around the church..

I was walking with some friends of mine, and a group of black thugs came up (recurring them it seems >_< ) and were being all rowdy and started picking on my female friend, we'll call her Alex. I was trying to be friendly with them to get them to stop, but they seemed to think that she wasn't really important to us and it wouldn't really bother us much if they killed her. They were getting ready to knife her and I pleaded with them to stop and he said "why should we?" and I said "because I'm in love with her!" That seemed to be enough reason for them for some reason, and they begrudgingly went their own way.
As we were continuing walking, Alex seemed nervous and unsure about what to do. I was thinking that she either has had feelings for me for a while, or they were manifesting now.
A short while later, someone, I think my friend JC, said something about how that was a nice save, I think, and I said something like, "yeah, I didn't really mean that." It seemed to sadden her.
That's the last part that I remember.

Aside from the black people part, I think it has something to do with what's going in real life. My friend Alex and I have been pretty good friends for about a year now, and she's gone through a few boyfriends throughout that time, one just a couple days ago. I'm worried that she might show interest in me, and that's bad because I'm not really interested in her that way and there's someone else I'm interested in.

August 25th 2010,


Note to reader: I tried the wake induced lucid dream technique and I just fell asleep. It was strange how quickly it happened. Anyways, as I tried staying still this morning at 5 AM, I repeated to myself, "I am sleeping, I am in a lucid dream." That way when I entered my dream, I would know that I was sleeping. Funny thing is; It didn't quite turn out that way.



First Dream (Non-lucid):

Like any other dream I had, this one had a story to it. It took place where I live, but also parts of it took place in the middle of nowhere. For example my house was very very far away from where I normally live. It was the first day of school, and I went to my regular high school. I was going into all my classes and I saw one of my real life friends Hugh, several times in my "classes". In real life I have no classes with him this year, I know this because we recieve our schedules 2 weeks before school starts. Anyways my mind made up another dream character named Ashley, and she was very good looking. So I remember going to all my classes, then going to lunch, then for some reason during lunch I noticed I was wearing shin guards and high socks..then I looked back down and I was wearing cleats too. AND I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS A DREAM?? So before I went to my next class me and my friend Hugh went to the lockerroom. In my school, the lockerroom is several hallways away from the lunch room. But in my dream it was across from the lunch room. We went in and I asked hugh and one of my friends Marcos who was there in the lockerroom,"Should I do soccer this year?". No response. I went to my gym class and there again was Hugh and Ashley. Both of them were in my gym class too. The gym teacher was my gym teacher from 5th grade. And she told everyone to go outside. They all went outside, including the teacher. Suddenly I felt extremely strange..and I fainted.

Second Dream (Non-lucid):

The perspective was 3rd person. I was watching myself. Weirdly enough, I wasn't myself. I was some other guy that I had seen on a YouTube video last night before going to bed. And usually in every dream I have a power..but in this dream there was something wrong with me. I woke back up in the gym/locker room. The same one I had fainted in, from my previous dream. I teleported outside to see if I missed the bus home, because I expected that I had fainted and stayed unconcious all the way through school. I missed the bus. I started teleporting, closer and closer to my house in real life, then I changed route for some reason. I kept teleporting then I just started walking. All of the sudden an old man in a car asked me, "Hey do you need a ride?" I turned around and kept walking. He started following me. And then I started running. I got home and my mother wasn't my mother. I fainted again.

Third Dream (Non-lucid):

All of the sudden I wake up in my bed, in this strange new house of mine. the house looked kind of like my house now which is long horizontally, and is yellow. But in the dream it went up vertically and it was red.


Kind of like this except WAY taller.

Inside the house was also very different. It looked old..very old. All of the sudden the old man appeared infront of me. He told me why I was fainting. He told me that everytime I wake up and suspect that I am lucid dreaming, that I will fall asleep immediately. I walked out of my room. Now I was a monster.. I was a 3 headed moonkin from World of Warcraft.



I kept getting the feeling that I was going to faint. So everytime I did, I said to myself, "I am sleeping. I am in a lucid dream". And I said this without even knowing what I was saying, because I didn't know I was in a dream, I just knew that everytime I said that phrase, that the feeling that I was going to faint went away. Then the YouTube dream character from my previous dream appeared. He tried to kill me. We faught for about 5 minutes and we ended up in my basement. I forget how, but I defeated him. Then I fainted AGAIN!

Fourth Dream (Non-lucid):

Everyone in town had a nickname for me. I forget what it was now, but I was like the infamous monster of the town. And every once in a while I would remember what the old man said, so whenever I saw something scary I would say to myself "I am sleeping. I am in a lucid dream." and it would go away. The man I defeated showed up once but then I made him go away and I never saw him again. Now this time my dream took place in the Mage Tower of the game Dragon Age.



I was no longer a monster and now I was dreaming in 1st person. I was an apprentice spellcaster and the regular people were there (Hugh and Ashley, etc.). This time my friend Joey came up to me and he said, "You know how you said that Ashley girl likes you? Well I think she does because she's been staring at you all class and I saw it myself." and I said really? And I looked over at her. All of the sudden I was back at home on my facebook and Ashley commented on one of my statuses and she said "Oh Lucas, its so cute how you have your little lucid dreams." And yet again I fainted.

Fifth and Last Dream (Non-lucid):

I woke up again in the Mage Tower and then the Tower was under attack and my teacher who was an old woman told everyone to get ready for a fight. And that's all I remember. I woke up this morning at noon.

Conclusion:

Apparently all my dreams tonight were based off of lucid dreaming, but I didn't actually lucid dream ONCE the whole time. I think every time I began to realize that I was in a dream, I "fainted" like the old man in my dream told me. This has been my most vivid dream so far. Also somewhere in my dream I remember that I was holding a brand like for branding cows. And the brand said "Awakening" or "Awaken" and I was branding my pillow in the dream...I have no idea what this means. Awesome dreams tonight though. It was honestly amazing even though I wasn't lucid.

I wish this one was lucid, it was pretty awesome.

I was in one of those "architecture doesn't work that way" houses. I don't remember seeing the outside ever, but the inside was all twisted around itself and very old and wooden. I did some design work for someone and we talked about the advantages and disadvantages of certain types of toys for young children. I explained to her how glued on felt eyes and stitched on eyes are better for dolls and stuffed animals than the hard plastic kind if you're planning on giving them to small children. Kids like to eat eyes off of things. The mother had black, wavy hair in a loose ponytail.

I mislabeled my nephew in the dream as Max. I have no idea why that happened, but he was running around generally being three on the ground floor.

When I got upstairs, there was an open area looking down on what probably used to be a stable or something, now it was just more house. I could see through the layers of cracking paint that there were a lot of old doorways into places that really shouldn't be able to have doorways. I pointed this out to my grandmother, who was complaining that she was too hot. She was wearing a seafoam green parka thing, but insisted that it wasn't very heavy. Then I started seeing what this room was like at another time, with the doors all functional and a fireplace on one of the walls in the room. I tried explaining it to people by showing them the remnants of things, but they didn't get it.

Over by the wall where the fireplace used to be, there were a couple of pennies on the floor that spontaneously combusted. It was pretty easy putting them out, and I tried to explain to everyone that this was where the fireplace was and that was why they were bursting into flames, but then I turned around and saw there was an open door on the second floor over the open area, and through it I could see all the people and things that used to be in the house, like a portal. Some narrator explained that it wasn't time travel, it was another dimension where the house had been taken care of better. I wanted to go through, but I don't remember anything after that point in the dream.



*Interesting note: While the "portal to another time/dimension" is already fairly supernatural on it's own, the paranormal levels skyrocket when you take into account that my grandmother is also dead. This is the first dream with her since she passed away that wasn't entirely focused on "you're dead, you can't be walking around/talking/rolling over in your coffin/etc." and her being very confused about the whole thing. My last lucid before joining this forum was just me at a bbq with the family and her being there. I realized I was dreaming and I yelled that she's dead and she needs to go away, so of course she "was never there in the first place" and my whole family was looking at me like I was a nut.

Just remembered bits of a second dream from last night.

I was in a giant, fancily-built log cabin on a high mountain, overlooking a misty view of an overcast valley (missed a dreamsign! Argh! ) and I was staying with a very large family. Most of the dream took place in a pagoda outside the cabin - an open area with a roof, a concrete floor and some tables. There was some giant love triangle going on, and most of the male members of the family were arguing over someone. It was all very strange. I can still recall some of their faces - there was a tall, young guy with silvery hair, a slightly older redhead and a pink-haired teenager. I know there were others, but I don't remember them.

Then I woke up.

I was floating in the waves, and washed up on the shore. I pulled myself from the water and looked up. Around me it looked like a post-apocalyptic zombie town. Buildings were caved in and I didn't see anyone.

I walked along the shoreline a little more until I heard a man's voice coming from one of the buildings. I followed the sound and peeked into the room where the wall was destroyed. An older teenage boy was sitting across from a teenage girl who looked like Megan Fox. He saw me and beckoned me to come inside.

"What's your name?" He asked. I did not know. He moved a large piece of fallen wall over to reveal a hidden passage. He said that we would be safe here. We met his family. They told us that in their town there was a man with a mask. He liked to sneak into people's houses and murder them. They also told us that we would never know when he would sneak in.

I decided to check out the house. Looking around, I found an extra bedroom. My phone was there, and I had a text from Mike. I responded to the text, but when I turned around I felt a creepy presence...

Everyone in the house was getting ready for bed, and I was the only one left still up and not in the main bedroom. I left the extra bedroom and walked down the long hallway. Turning around once to look behind me, I saw a dark shadow standing at the end of the hallway!!! The shadow had the silhouette of a man, but I couldn't see if he was masked or not.

"Get inside the bedroom!" I heard the family yell. I ran to their bedroom and bolted the door shut behind me. WTF was that?!

I slept peacefully that night. The next day we went to eat with the other townspeople. They had a large room that resembled a cafeteria. Our family sat down and ate our meals while I thought over what I had seen last night.

The cafeteria got quiet. I looked up and saw the masked man standing in the doorway. He looked like the man from Friday the 13th.

He stood there for a moment before silently pointing to me. He walked over and grabbed me and pulled me away into the kitchen. He said that we were going to play a little 'ice fishing' game.

Point of view changes and I am now the head of the household. I am running around trying to find where the masked man took the girl. Our family runs into the kitchen. The sink has iced over. We pull a string out from the drain and we see that the girl has frozen in a solid ice cube. We set her down to let her thaw. We also find another string in the other sink and pull out the frozen version of the masked man. We decide to kill him while he is unable to move. We grab a large pole and shove it through his neck. We think he is dead for now but I think he wakes up again, can't remember the rest.

Scary dream
I was outside a trailer that I used to live in. There was an evil presence. Someone kept seeing something but could not. I was afraid.

Arguing with dad
I was living at home and doing dishes my dad comes in griping again. I snap and chew him out. I don't remember what all was said.

Rat hoard
I am thrown into a watery sewer pit. We were to die from a hoard of rats. We despaired but I had a plan. There was an electrical wire and a large hook. I pulled the end out and some how attached the hook. We all grabbed whatever we could find and pulled out of the water. I release a flood gate that let water down a chute. Then the rat hoard came. I let the hook into the water and fried all the rats. When the water ran out no more rats came. *We all paused and waited. No more rats. I lifted up a board and saw a pile of rats fried and dead. Some of them were just bones but the bones where soft like jelly and jiggled. *All the sewer water was drained. We found a box with our stuff in it. I took a set of knives. A woman that looked like Switch from the Matrix argued that those were hers. I told her she took them from Hawker and way and she could share. The scene was like from a western. We ended up in a dept store. Bought some stuff an had some vague conversations.

Vague
Something with cartoon video games. Didn't sleep well. *

Camp. Lots of trees, a small dirt clearing near a lake, some cabins gathered around. One is an old church that's been converted to a mess hall. Looks like my brother's music camp, but with more trees. Suddenly, it's night time. I don't remember seeing anyone, but there were other people there. We were on a team, competing to see who could find a kill a monster first.

Shame I can't remember, I think it was a really cool dream. :C

Yay! Had my first lucid dream (since knowing what it is, and trying to). It was short, sweet and classic to what others report typically happens to lucid-dreaming noobs:

The lucid dream:
After (or right before?) shouting to a crowd of people something like "Hey everybody we're dreaming" (or was it a question? I know it had the word dream in it) I was suddenly conscious I was dreaming and thought "this is it, what shall I do...?!" Of course, I decide -Fly! And then leapt into the air, euphorically soaring over the crowd...however, all too quickly, the brightness of another dream/reality (i think I thought it was this real world, which is perhaps when I already started losing lucidity) started shining through that scene, and I lost awareness that I was dreaming.

A few snippets after-wards:
I then had a few other regular dreams -underground passages led by semi-creepy magical beings, a war/gunfight scene, swimming outside a red-cross/hospital for sea creatures, where someone was bringing in these dolphin heads that were someone still alive, etc. Just bits remembered, but they also sort of distanced me from the original lucid dream and the memory of the euphoria --though, since I was conscious(!) it is still quite in my memory.

Possible Influences:
I've been trying somewhat (maybe 1/3of the nights over the past month) various methods to have a lucid dream, since seeing the movie Inception and then beginning reading a couple amazing books on the subject.
One main difference last night was that I tried something I used to do much more frequently before bed in my more prayerful days -I reviewed my day and apologized for things I was sorry for/lacked integrity with, gave thanks for various things, 'prayed' for a few wants/needs, etc. and in general made peace with the day. Whether or not this is the main key for my having a lucid dream (it is similar to a method suggested by others), it was a great way to go to sleep and I hope to do it regularly.


I'm excited and grateful that it happened, and look forward to growing more in this skill/art --asking people questions, trying out different abilities and going on adventures...perhaps even meeting other people in their dreams. If you see me, or, let's say, a small red rubber ball, in your dream --let me know

i was waiting to go to a concert with my friend by the steps that led up to the concert entrance. I kid approached me and offered to sell me 5 bucks for like a whole role of tickets to get into the concert. without thinking i bought the tickets not realizing they were complete bullshit.I quickley chased after the kid into an alley way where i saw my dad standing by a fire escape ladder that led on the top of some roof. I quickley ran up there to find the kid along with a ton of his friends. I aproached him ready to fight when his friends acted lke they wre gunna get invovled i said no let me and him settle this, the kid agreed. It was then I saw that he was a good 3 heads taller then me and no longer a kid but a big fucken dude. He was twice as quick as me doing like backflips and karate kicks. I said fuck this keep the five bucks and went back to the concert steps. I couldnt find my friend but i saw the manager of the concert who i had seen before in another dream, i ran up to him and told him what had happend. He said he could help me outt onnly under the condition that i played in the football game as a running back for one game. I was confused at furst but then i realized i was at the 49ers statium.I agreed and he said to meet him down at the field. I went to go tell my friend wat was going on nd he appeard infront of me, we began to walk in when a group of girls who i am friends with stopped me from behind. I told them i would be playing in the game tonight nd that they should come sit with me. As we walked i realized i was now wearing what i wear at school football. The road we walked on kept getting father and father without me noticing and we started drifting away from the statium now goin past another place i have been in a dream. There is this row of beautiful houses and one of them is very plane and bear(thats the managers house which i visited in another dream) the girls told me they snusck into this house before and i laughed. Below all the houses was a huge grassey hill that led to a large swimming pool and a beaitful house. I got excited and then ran down there. As i steeped onto the grass i realized i was but nakked. I did not care and encouraged everyone to join me. Some did and some did not. I swam around and a girl made a comment that the pool was heateded(this is significant cause in another dream i looked at this pool from a distance and wondered the same thing) I swam around for a lil and got out. The owner of the house came out and greeted us, she had lil kids and she told them to go inside. Suddenly the girls dissapeard and i looked over outside to see my dad my friend and my dads friend playing mario kart on an n64. i wanted to play so i ran over. My dads friend said i culd play after the race and i told him rainbow road is hella hard. When i got the controller the dream ended

At the apartment. Emptying rubbish bin. Organics go on the green grass lawn. A woman's head goes into the pond. A boat is about to run over the head. A small boat with one of the maintenance crew sail towards the head. I move it out of the way.

Oh yeah. Two nights. Two DILDs. Not DEILD like I would appreciate it, but two LDs nonetheless Not only that, in this one stuff HAPPENED! Not much, but STUFF! I dont remember much about my non-lucids, but who cares?

The DILD: It is unclear how I ended up in this dream. The time was 2:50, but I dunno if I checked my real or dream watch. Im unsure about wether I got up from a false awakening or woke up, fell asleep and THEN got up. Anyway, I get up, go in the living room. Gabriel is waiting for me there, on the couch. Apparently he stopped at our house on his bike. At 2:50. Ok. Then I suddenly realise that dreaming is pretty much over now. U can forget DEILD for today. I dont like that, and tell my mom that its 2:50. It is day outside though. We chat for awhile until he leaves to Gab's house with...an 8 year old version of me. Im kind of half aware that its me, but I still wonder about how I never met what appears to be my lil bro. I ask if I can go with them, and mom says yes. As I am walking in the hallway I go: Oh lemme guess this is a dream. Yup. I do various reality checks, like turning a light on and off. Then I try to fly thru my window, fail, and walk outside. Instantly its dark outside again. Damn it, I kinda wanted daylight. The cats stalking the door, but it doesnt matter.
Here is the place for lots of firsts. I encounter my first beautiful dreamscape. As I am walking outside, it starts to snow. Glowing, coloured snow. Its awesome. The trees are also covered and glitter in the night. If I could paint, I would paint it. Thats not my skill, though I am wearing a snow suit that seems to disappear and pop back up at times. I levitate for the first time. In the middle of the road, I do a backflip on my back and land floating two inches from the floor. Nice, but far from satisfying. Then as im floating I cant quite control it and get back on my feet a couple of times. So i give up and try the finger thru palm RC for the first time. I didnt know how it felt. So I remove my three pairs of gloves and push my finger. After a while, it pops right thru. Cool, but time's up. Already. I remember thinking: Awww, its over!

Other crap: FA where I push down a bunch of round candy thinking il pick them up in the morning.

A couple super short fragments last night.

First, I seem to remember a still (?) image of standing on the corner of Broadway and...whatever avenue it was outside King House/Metro Drug, looking south down Broadway.

Second, there was a short sequence where I was working in kind of a medium sized room by myself on a computer against the far wall of the room. I was at what was evidently the Meritcare/Sanford downtown hospital. I was working on some sort of project. I heard some sort of commotion outside, so I went to take a look and people were hurrying about busily as though they were getting ready to evacuate. I stopped someone to ask what was going on and they told me the company was closing this area to save money. I shrugged and went down to the ground floor to leave. After I exited, I paused to turn around and look at the building's south face. I thought, "Time Magazine is going out of business because it's unable to appeal to any demographics."

I couldn't tell you why I thought the hospital had anything to do with Time Magazine, but it's likely that the thought was inspired by this: TIME Announces New Version Of Magazine Aimed At Adults | The Onion - America's Finest News Source | Onion News Network
