14.08.2003In through the looking glass (Shared) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID i become aware that im dreaming while im in a bedroom. i think about what i want to do and i remember talking to A. earlier in the day and telling her id try to find her next time i got lucid. i remember reading about using mirrors to travel to other peoples dreams so i start walking around the house looking for one. i find a bathroom and i walk into it. i hop up onto the vanity and press my hand against the glass. its solid. i pull my hand back and start saying over and over again how i want to find A. as im doing that i put my palm against the glass again and push. nothing happens at first. but then slowly my hand starts to sink into the mirror. its very hard going, like pushing my hand through cold molasis. the feeling in my fingers and hand is cold and pulsating. as my arm slowly slides into the mirror, the feeling spreads up my arm. after im in past my elbow im instantly sucked the rest of the way through. *jump* everything goes black. my stomach is in my throat as im falling and spinning faster than ive ever gone in my life. there is an amazingly loud roar in my ears and it feels like im falling through the middle of a pitch black tornado. i fall for what feels like forever. *jump* POP! suddenly i can see again and next thing i know is im flying through a mountain valley. i look down and see a lone tent in an alpine meadow. i swooped down towards it and then become ecstatic because A. is there by the tent setting it up. i flew past her screaming "Hey! Look at me, i did it! I'm me, I'm just light!" i race past her and stop in the air. i turn around and fly past her again but once im past her the dream starts shaking like a movie going off the reel and i lose the dream. EOD i was living in oregon at the time and my friend was living in ohio. i got online the next night and IM'd her. all i said was something along the lines of "Did we have a dream last night?" she replied yes and then typed out the dream she was having where her and her friends were out in the mountains camping. all of a sudden i showed up and flew around for 10 or 15 seconds and then disappeared. i asked her if i said anything and she said yes, but she couldnt understand a word of it. i thought it was neat how i didnt see any of her friends or their tents when i was in her dream but she swears they were there.
Nothing to write about Wave 9, except that since I was in another bed that did not count and my dream streak is still at 3 while my record at 4. Now wave 10: I learned the hard way a lesson this morning: RC EVERY FREAKIN MORNING when you wake up. Wake up in the hotel at morning. I look at my watch; 7:50. Crap, my family is still not up. Normally my brother and sister wake up at about 7. Especially at a hotel. Then I lye down and actually think to myself: Should I do an RC? Or not? Yes? No? And finally I go back to sleep thinking like nahh watever. Wake up again later. Im like: Ahh what a beautiful morning! Its sunny! Yay! Im happy! (looks at watch) And its just six fift.... No. No. NO. NO Its not 6:50! It was 7:50 a minute ago! A serie a swearing, mental screaming (sleeping family) and despair ensues. Noooooooooooooooooooo. How? HOW? OMFG! And so kids, thats why you RC every morning
NOTES in the Biodome... playing with energy in my fingertips. I go to grab Levi, and bring him to the Moon. DREAM DIVERGE 1) he appears behind me, his red dreadlocks snaking around his head. He asks me to take him to see Sabertooth. I take him to BanYanLand. Sabertooth is in a meditation room. He and Levi hug. We go to Planet Thorax. 2) I go to his room, and wake him up. We fly to the moon on a Moon Dragon. We land in Nowhere. Sabertooth is spinning music.

Did RC's as much as possible yesterday and meditated in the afternoon using mantra "I will lucid dream tonight". Before sleep did relaxation, self hypnosis (that I would lucid dream tonight and wake up during each dream period and recall my dreams). Repeated short mantra "I will lucid dream tonight or very soon" and visualized seeing a dream sign and becoming lucid. Was exhausted last night and slept very heavily and had zero recall this morning. Got up at 7:30 and fed my cats and played with them for about 20 minutes and then a WBTB. I could not fall back asleep using MILD so decided to try a WILD. I definitely went into SP and did RC's which failed so I was dreaming although very shallow. Had a few disjointed storylines going and a couple of lucid fragments of a dog on my cats condo and four black cats walking in a line in my bedroom. Next time I looked at my clock it was 10:20am. I got up. It wasn't excactly mind blowing but I think it was good practice.
So... I incubated a sex dream. I had two which I will not go into detail about. 1) Threesome... 2) Orgy
Two dreams from last night, both non-lucid: 1) by some situation, zombies came about in the world. i remember being out driving on my old street and seeing them chasing all of my old neighbors around. skip to me and my girlfriend battling the zombies (who in one scene of the dream were wearing the palace guard uniforms from Aladdin) in what looked like either a giant ship, or a church, because there was a big wooden ceiling. skip to us battling zombies for control of a house. we win, sit on the couch, and talk about what we should do. i said we should go over to my cousin's house, which is right down the street, and steal all of his alcohol. My girlfriend is like "no way. it would be extremely dangerous to go out again, since there are a ton of zombies. plus, we don't need to be drinking, what if we are drunk and zombies try to attack?" i was pissed, but could see that she was right. cut to us driving on a highway, the car dying, and us hiding until another car comes. i remember seeing headlights approaching, but nothing past that. 2) The second dream was back at my high school, which i no longer go to. the football team got a new coach, who happened to be asian. he was recruiting players, and wanted my friend, D, to play for him. D said as of now, he respectfully declined, so he could see what his other options are with other teams. this was weird, and i should have realized i was dreaming, since high school football is the like the pros. this has been the first time in a few months that i have remembered two dreams in one night. good thing i have started to work on it again, it's paying off.
I woke up in my dream, I got up and walked into the bathroom. In the bathroom it was full of mirrors, which I could see myself in all of them but at different angles. I looked at myself and moved my mouth to see if it did the same thing in all of them, it didn't. I started to talk to myself, then the other me's in the mirror started to call me down(talk about me negatively) saying i'm not good enough, and also talking religiously saying I'm a bad person, and that I don't have the will power to quit my deeds. I then walked out of the room and woke up.
Voice of the Forest I was walking on a dirt road out in forest area, and I came across a campsite where people were just setting up. I walked in for a closer look but I didn't want to be seen, so I kept out of sight. I watched them just unpack stuff and talk until one came over to the bushes in my location. I quickly slipped backwards and ended up in the water, waiting. I figured they got a bit too close so i better move on. I turned around and walked over to take the road but a car was coming so I dove into a sand deposit and headed towards the woods. Suddenly I noticed 2 dark figures in the forest, so I ducked down behind a sand pile. at first I thought they were people but I realized they were werewolves, and they were fighting. I decided I better get out of here while they were occupied, so I ran towards the road again. I got about half way there, then I looked back, and one of the werewolves killed the other and was looking my way. I began to run faster and made it to the road, a truck was coming my way and apparently it was full of hillbillies and one began to shoot at me. I ran down the road, and one of them got out of the truck and was chasing me with his gun. I turned to him at yelled, "The voice of the forest is coming!" he looked at me with a puzzled face, but then heard a light howl and rustling of trees, he then knew what was happening. His truck was no where to be found, so we both ran towards an outpost. When we finally made it there, we ran inside and locked the door. I looked around inside to see what was there, and I found a claw of the creature that was chasing us on a wall, so I took it. I then heard by brother calling, so i went up the stairs and out the door. I found him standing outside near a cliff area and I told him what was going on, and that we have to get out of here before.. I looked up and saw it standing on the roof and yelled "there it is! run!" my brother ran off and the werewolf creature jumped down beside me. I didn't know what to do and it was about to kill me *I then became slightly lucid*, but I realized I had the claw still, and I grabbed the werewolf and thrusted the claw into its stomach. It gave off a loud howl that echoed off the mountains, I then ran off towards the road but I was stopped by a group of five armored people. Before I could say anything 4 of the five jumped forward and began attacking the werewolf with their wicked blades. they had strands of web that shot out from the backpacks that wrapped up everything, restricting movement and wrapping the werewolf up. I then turned to the one female that stayed behind, she had green eyes, white skin, light purple lip stick and a light blueish purple hair. she looked at me and said "everything is alright now." and kissed me, I looked at her for a moment, then kissed here back. I then became more lucid and decided to practice kissing on her, which I did for a bit then woke up.
non-lucid-black Lucid-Green I went through 3 dream phases last night. the first 2 sucked and I forgot them anyways. the third though was awesome. I was semi-lucid. and it was fun August 8: It started out with me and a few other martial arts masters i did not recognise, but we we're set out to go kill some crazy bearded asian dude. so we're on a long forest/beach path walking when all the sudden I decide "hey im going to act like the avatar and have some crazy powers" so I jumped really high over to a temple and land in front of a Bonsai Tree in a large light brown pot. I then proceed to blow a lot of wind out my mouth and make swishing motions with my hands to burn the tree but keep the fire down. I then walked into the temple through an entrance right of the center. I then saw the evil dude hop a table and run away. then i didnt give a crap. I walked out to what became more like a beach. It had a lot of people there the first notable person was andrew quinzio. The sky was heavly clouded by black cloulds with the ocassional lightning burst. I lifted my hands up and said "quinzio watch this" and took lightning strikes into my hand.(note: it didnt work every time). then I saw my brother and his buddy white-boy and some others headed to a building next to the temple. which had the appearance of a movie theater strangely. and once I was inside I saw Ben Columb walk out of what I thought was bathroom and the dream started to fade.

7/31/2010 - Dream starts with me and a group of people ( nobody who I know in RL, but in the dream I knew ) standing in a room with a cathedral type ceiling inside a church or wood cabin of some sort. Suddenly, form the ceiling falls a wooden coffin, which lands upright and intact right in front of our group. We look inside this coffin and find a skeleton, which causes a girl in our group to scream in terror. Nobody else seems upset from this. The dream then skips to a time later that day. The skeleton was forgotten about and I was in an upstairs loft of the cabin, watching pornography with the sound on. Near me was a balcony that looked over the first floor living room. I look down and see my step-dad walking around downstairs and quickly turn down the volume so he wouldn't hear. The volume turned down, but the internet would no longer connect and I gave up what I was doing... Then my phone began to ring. Looking at the screen, I see that the caller ID identifies the caller as ' Asheville - Meet the Dog'. I am not sure if this was some sort of nickname or what, but either way I had no idea who it was. I answered and began by telling the man ( who I somehow knew was a no good, freeloading bum type ) that he must have the wrong number. He disagreed and proved he wanted to talk to me by saying that he was calling to "talk to [My name] who lived in South Carolina." He informed me that he wanted to come down to my place and live with me for awhile, because he had no where else to go. Although I felt kind of bad, I really didn't want this guy to come stay with me, so I began telling him a lie about how I had moved to Southern Georgia and that my current roommate wouldn't appreciate me having people come live with us. As I told him this I felt more and more guilty and was probably about to give up and let him stay, but I looked at my phone's screen which stated 'Call Ended'. End of dream. __________________________ I have a few more dreams that I've written down... the next few quite a bit longer than these first few. I'll post them asap. I also want to go over the instructions on how to Lucid dream again... I still have not had any success that I know of. If anyone has any tips, feel free to share. I HAVE read all the guides on this site, but I seem to have a lot of trouble focusing on Lucid dreaming while going to sleep. Mind always wanders. I also have a hard time recording dreams in a journal if I wake in the middle of the night... I enjoy my sleep and the last thing I want to do is get up and write a page full of stuff down when I could be sleeping I always regret this in the morning though
This was a week or two ago. Very small fragment, but figured I would put it up anyhow: Aprrox. few weeks ago - I was in a Kroger Parking lot (where I work) and saw a black Explorer drive by. I look inside and see one of my ex girlfriends sitting in the backseat, with nobody else in the car. The odd thing here is that the car is driving with nobody at the wheel, while she is alone, buckled up, in the back seat. I casually say hello and start a conversation with her, while walking with the SUV. I then get into the drivers seat and push down the brake to stop the car. We continue to hold a normal conversation and the dream ends. NOTE- I tend to have a LOT ( I mean a LOTTTT) of dreams where a car is driving itself and I have to brake it, or If I'm driving the brakes won't work correctly. I read something on this site about technology failing a lot in dreams due to our lack of understanding it, but most other machines/electronics work okay in my dreams. Brakes almost NEVER do. Maybe I could use this as a dream sign?
So, I just became interested in Lucid dreaming and the possibilities it can bring, although I heard about it several months ago. I've read all of the tutorials and guides on this site on tips for Lucid dreaming, dream recall, etc. I've been pretty busy of late, but when I think of it I've been trying to do reality checks, write down/recall dreams, and other things. I haven't had any success with a Lucid dream as of yet (That I know of, anyway) but I don't want to give up. I think I just have to try a bit harder and focus more intently on my goals here. So, I've been writing down dreams I remember lately, but have been procrastinating when it comes to writing them on this site, which is supposed to be a good habit. So here it goes: I'll put all the ones I've had lately on this one post. ______________________________________________ A few weeks Ago - The dream started, from what I can remember, at my childhood house in Colchester, VT. My stepdad was telling my little brother that our land was a secret for some reason. The neighbors' houses were identical to the ones in Vermont, although the house there was actually the last house my parents bought in South Carolina. In the dream, however, the neighbors were actually the people that live adjacent to us here in SC. Now, in RL these people are quite the assholes, and this carried over into my dream as well, haha. The fence between our properties was broken and my little sister was walking over on to the neighbor's side( by the way, we'll call the neighbors the Assholes). The Asshole father yelled at my little sister for stepping on his lawn, while he himself stepped on to our side to do so. So, I yelled at him for yelling at my little sister for doing exactly what he was doing. He got back on his side and we started putting the fence together, while still arguing. The fence happened to just stick back together like puzzle pieces (It was a brown picket fence, btw). I finally talked him down and got him to understand why I was angry at his hypocrisy. He left the scene and I walked back towards my house, where I found a football, which I somehow concluded was the reason he stepped over on to my side of the lawn ( although it was really to yell at my little sis). I then told the situation to one of my current coworkers who was at my house in VT for some reason. After this, the setting was the same, but it was some kind of apocalypse (I want to say something like zombies took over, or an atom bomb struck. Either way, the majority of the world was dead/gone) My friend Min was at my house and told me he was leaving ( I guess to escape the end of the world??). He offered me a ride with him, but I declined and said I would meet him at a church in town later. Min was replaced by a coworker from my current job ( different one than before ) to whom I showed how to siphon gas because gas stations were no longer running and we had to steal from other cars. Next dream (Same night) - Another DIFFERENT coworker of mine was telling me how addicting World of Warcraft is. I began playing a game ( which was apparently WoW ) resembling one of those old arcade games like Space Invaders. I was a 2D ship shooting shooting colorful, wiggly lines. The next level was like the old Sega game Toejam and Earl. There was a giant blob monster that was moving from island to island, and I had to shoot it ( I was back in the 2D ship at this point). That concludes that night's set of dreams
If I haven't had a lucid dream since starting this course I am glad I am at least remembering dreams more consistently. Today I had three more vivid dreams. I'll go in reverse order. This is the second dream I remembered: See this basketball? IN THE FACE!! A friend and I were hanging out in front of a condo in what appeared to be somewhere like California. It was really hot and breezy and I think a beach was nearby. We had a deflated basketball in our hands and we were just hanging out. For whatever reason I see the "In THE FACE" actor from Step Brothers walking down the sidewalk next to us. For whatever reason the buddy I'm with motions to me to come on and starts following that guy, with our basketball. My friend says: We are invited to come play basketball with them. I'm pretty nervous because I didn't hear an invitation (shoulda RC'd!! :X) but I follow along anyway. Along the way I start to think that we'll definitely need to put air in our ball or, at least, go back to my car to grab my good basketball. But my friend says don't worry and we see a pump alongside the road. We jog over and grab it and start pumping up the ball. I remember doing this but I don't remember the ball actually inflating any (shoulda RC'd again!!!). We round a corner, where the fellow did, and see a basketball hoop mounted above an open garage. It looks pretty beat up but I don't care. A hoop is a hoop. What I DO care about is the fact that there is a pretty nice sized slope going from the base of the driveway up to the garage door. I think to myself: Man, this is going to be hard to play on. Whatever, though. So I walk up the slope and stand directly under the hoop to get a feel for it. It's not going to be fun or easy. And then the actor we had followed is standing in front of me. To my left is, what I'm assuming, is his son. And there is another guy there as well. The actor asks me when we're gonna start and I say: "Right now." And we do. The actor passes the ball over to the other guy and the other guy drives to the hoop to try and dunk. Somehow I get involved and make him miss and it goes into the grass next to the garage. I'm told to inbound the ball. And I do, to the actors son. From there I remember dribble driving to the hoop, getting caught up in the slope, and forcing up a few bad shots. And that is really it. Filming a movie. At the mall. With my old math teacher? Wat? So this dream is a bit more blurry but I'm surprised I remember it at all. It was one from the middle of the night I, for whatever reason, chose not to write down. But as I was writing my basketball dream it.. It just came back to me. In this dream we start out in the mall. But the inside of the mall isn't like normal. It's laid out like my old job at a publishing company. People are clicking away at keys and for whatever reason, I am too. I sit down at a computer to start working and click to open our "lead tickets" program (which is just a task we had to do, by entering information). Immediately my old math teacher comes around and tells me not to do them and glances at Shane (who worked with me at this place). So I stop. And now suddenly I'm walking through the mall with a HUGE group of people I know. Family, friends, random parents. I'm wearing a blue button up shirt and khaki shorts. I have a camera. I'm walking around thinking that I have to get this film organized to start filming and that I don't need this many distractions. There's no reason to have this many people here. In my dream I wonder: Do they think the movie is COMING OUT today? Because I need to start it today. For whatever reason I decide that I want to be in the film but I can't be in the film wearing khaki shorts. I need some jeans to make myself look good. So, instead of buying a pair from the mall I'm in, I decide to drive an entire HOUR back to my parents house in Mount Morris. I'm apparently in Rockford (where I currently live). This doesn't make sense. But I do. I feel myself getting into my car and driving and suddenly I'm halfway to Mount Morris. I'm leaning my face on my hand listening to the radio or something when I get a phone call from my mom asking me to come check something out. Apparently she is at the mall and forgot I told her I had to leave for awhile. I tell her I can't because I left already but I'll be back. She semi-freaks out and then tells me they're leaving as well. Delivering Pizzas on a busy road to write the declaration of independence. So the dream opens up and I'm frantically driving on this old road I used to take to work, Mud Creek, and in front of my are literally hundreds of cars and trucks. They all have Pizza Hut and Dominoes displays on them. Except the displays are gigantic! The pizza hut display goes up the side of their truck/car and past the roof. And the Domino display is sideways on the roof. So these two signs make gigantic Ls. But anyway. I'm behind a whole slew of these cars just trying to make it past them when they start constantly honking at me. Whatever though. I keep going, occasionally almost skidding out in the dusty/dirt road, and manage to survive the ordeal. Because next thing I know I'm at some sort of campground. With my brother in law (yay ). And we're re-writing the Declaration of Independence as if for a new nation. Joel is writing but he's stuck. I tell him: Start with "we the people" and end there, as well. Whatever goes in between will be fine.
August 8, 2010 Darren's car My dad and I were in a shop. I could see through a glass wall into the next door shop. I saw Darren there, sitting at a table. I recall my dad was sitting across from me (against the glass), and he was saying something to me, but I kept getting distracted, looking over at Darren, and just saying things like, "Oh yeah?" really distractedly to him We all left at the same time (including Darren). My dad and I were coming down the right of way lane, and he mashed the breaks because Darren nearly cut us off. My dad comments, "Just cos he's rich, doesn't mean he owns the road!" And my dad keeps inching along, trying to force Darren's car back... but Darren isn't giving up either! Me, I'm just worried about the paint job on both cars. Our two cars were an inch away from scraping each other. I stuck my hand out in between the cars so they wouldn't scrape. I gave Darren a reproachful look, and he smiled at me Later on, I found his fan page on facebook. I dashed off a quick message saying, something like, "Hey, I'm the girl from the car, earlier." Darren contacted me. "Thanks for worrying about the paint job, but you really shouldn't have used your hand... you could have crushed it, and then I'd have been really upset!" Danny Fragment, 1 Danny (my DG) and I were sitting on the porch of his house in my inner world. It was sunset and we had our guitars out with us. "I wish you would practice the guitar more, in waking life," Danny said. Danny Fragment, 2 Danny, Darren and I were in this volcano-like cave. There were explosions and lava happening around us, and we were trying to get out. Darren was the one holding my hand.
