Lucid: Not in the slightest Dream Aids: None Vividness: Pretty faded Dreamsign Lucidity All I remember from this one is being in the middle of fighting a sorcerer. No idea what for, other than the the fact that he was trying to kill me. It was a very intense setting, which reminds me in retrospect of the climax of an action movie. We started off in a large and fancy foyer with a marble artistic motif, perhaps in a mansion. I shot at him with a gun but it had no effect. Someone yelled that the only way to kill him was to stab him in the heart. A difficult task because he was much faster and stronger than I was. It took every ounce of effort I had in that foyer not to get killed, and eventually retreated exhausted. I found my way into a surreal and trippy conveyor belt about 10 meters wide and carrying a bunch of strangely shaped objects to an unknown location. Aside from this windy conveyor belt, everything surrounding me was completely black, infinite space. The sorcerer found me there and the fighting continued again, this time on slowly moving ground. I kept trying to make my way towards the end of this conveyor belt, hopping from object to object while avoiding his attacks. His regular mode of attack involved shooting some form of energy at me which I'd dodge, and then swiftly appearing right next to me to slice me in two with his massive sword. Had he been more offensive he could have killed me in seconds, seems he was just toying with me. At one point during one of his charges he miscalculated and gave me a chance to push him off balance. He fell off the platform we were on and got electrically shocked after falling to the belt itself. He bounced back up completely stunned and immobile. I got a small dagger out and plunged it into his heart, waking up pretty much instantly after that happened. This was an atypical dream for me, usually the content of my non-lucids are much more grounded in the mundane happenings of everyday life. This surreal setting is certainly a welcome change!

I've been researching the subject for weeks. I had an awareness of Lucid Dreaming but never fully understood how it was possible. As something as wonderful as controlling your own dreams I wanted to try, being someone who has quite vivid dreams every night. I ignored the common techniques of checking my watch every hour, or drawing a sign on my hand, or looking in the mirror. I just figured that if I thought about lucid dreaming enough that It might just naturally occur. This only led to me falling asleep and completely forgetting LD ever existed or that I was trying to induce it in the first place. I was quite lucky I think, as I was given an extremely easy 'dream signal' to lead me to my first lucid dream. I was dreaming of a surrounding that I cannot recall now, and I started to feel the sensation of my teeth falling out. I could feel my tongue twisting round the tooth and it falling off with a tug and a spit of the mouth. Eventually I spat and a mouthful of blood and teeth fell into my hand. As I was looking at my teeth in my dream-like state, I thought to myself 'This is one of the most common dreams people have'. And just like that something signalled the process in my mind to make me realise that I was obviously in a dream at that time. This was not just me dreaming that I realised I was in a dream. I actually realised. And I panicked. I started to be aware that I was asleep in my bed and so to keep myself in a dream I remembered to rub my hands as suggested when trying to keep yourself asleep. However I suddenly felt myself awoken but with my eyes still closed, and when I opened them it was light outside but I was fully aware of what had just happened and what I had tried to achieve in my dream-like state. I went back to sleep but could not go back to my lucid dream. It was a miracle that I managed to do it in the first place considering how little time I have spent trying. I was lucky I was given such an obvious signal as teeth falling out. My plan now is to keep a dream journal of every night to make a record of my dreams in hope to realise more clearly when it is a dream, and when this happens to have a plan of what I want to achieve in this LD. Perhaps I shall try something simple like flying to begin with. Let the dreaming begin.
Sorry, I forgot to update my journal yesterday. To make up for it, I'm going to do two days' worth of dreams in one! Yesterday: This dream is strange (but then again, all of mine are) It started in our lounge. Me and Jacob were playing a video game. It was an athletic running game. The game was based in a marsh (?), and had beautiful views. The grass was pure green. The track was raised above the marsh, and was hard ground with perfect grass. Anyway, we were playing this game, I was winning, but not by much. I can remember being drawn into the game (literally). Me and Jacob became our characters. It was so strange... I became somebody else. Instantly, the game became far more vivid. It became 3D, and everything was beautiful. That’s all I can remember, unfortunately.

1:40/F/C/TV(lake) Lucid It was the first day of school and everything was going wrong. I had no parking pass so I parked close to the fictional stores next to the school. I also did not have my schedule. Because everything was going wrong, I transitioned into a lucid state. Every time I go lucid, I am shocked at how real everything is. Most of my lucid dream was of me walking around the school. By the end it felt like I had been in it for at least 30 minutes, but after waking up it feels shorter. I met a freshmen with long hair who was messing around with the flagpole. At the end I tried flossier a freshmen, and that woke me up.

Last night I had two very similar dreams in that it was the same place, same people I was with, and the same "goal" of the dream, or what I was tying to do. #1: I was in some sort of city that was underground riding my bike with me sister and a friend. There were houses to the left and a thin platform about 2 feet wide that we rode our bikes on. To the right was about a 5 foot drop into a river that was really murky and smelled funny. We started riding along the small path that was much like thin 2x4s laid next to each other. We drove past a few houses and I say another friend of mine siting on his porch just staring off into the distance. I waved to him and he said "Hey, what's goin' on?" "Just riding our bikes," I replied, "Wanna come?" "Nah I can't" And so he stayed there, sitting on his porch. We rode down this small ramp that was there on the trail and had to make a small turn to the right only the trail narrowed to about 2 inches wide. I was the first to go and just sped through it hoping I wouldn't fall in. Then came my sister, and third was her friend. About 15 feet down the trail it ended into a very narrow alley which was about a foot wide, just enough for a small adult to fit through. I started to squeeze through it only to notice that it got narrower as it went. Worst yet was that when I was about 2 feet from the outside I got stuck and a giant spider about the size of a CD started walking towards my face from where I just was. I'm normally not afraid of spiders but this one was a bit too big and out of my comfort zone. I started wriggling as hard as I could and right before it got to me I managed to squeeze all the way our and was in another alley, only this one was of normal size and a good 10 feet wide. Before I could get a good look around I woke up. #2: Later that same night I had a dream that was very similar, only this time it included more of my friend and stayed underground. It was the same setting as last time, even the same spot we started at and the same people were with me. We started riding up this hill and once we were at the top we noticed somebody was there and was taking a sobriety test. I couldn't tell who it was but I noticed that he had to walk in a straight line placing one foot over the other (Like a normal sobriety test would)I couldn't tell who it was since it was so dark, so I went behind the housed on our left and started looking around for a flashlight. I noticed a wooden table with some tools on it and there were also two flashlights, a red and a yellow one. I picked each up to see if it had batteries in it and the yellow seemed rather heavy so I grabbed it and walked back over to the officers. I shined it on him and noticed that it was my friend who was taking the test. I said, "Hey, whats going on? Were you drinking or something?" "No," he replied cautiously. "Not a lot anyway." The officers then decided to let him go and walked away. I asked him again, "You wanna come for a ride?" "No thanks" he said again. "Okay, how about just a walk then?" "Alright, that sounds good." And so he started to walk with us. The same narrow part in the trail was there still but since we were walking, we just jumped right over it. We came to the same narrow alley and this time I noticed two spiders, both as big as the last. One was black and fuzzy, like a tarantula. The other was a yellow and black combination with black on part of it's back and yellow every where else. (If this sounds like an actual type of spider please say something) I decided this time I would kill the spiders first and then go through the passage. I stepped down near the river and grabbed a remote control that was laying on the floor (?)and smacked the black spider once and knocked it off the wall. My friend then grabbed my hand and yelled, "What the heck are you doing!?" "Killing the spider so I can go through," I replied, a little confused. It was at this point that he started shaking me and I could feel the dream fading. I then knew it was a dream but it was too late (No, this doesn't count as an LD since this is how all my dreams end
It is the 3rd night and im starting to get the hang of dream recall. I have not had a night without a dream. Yet. But every morning i wake up with no dream in mind, fall asleep after a while and THEN get a very clear dream. I believe thats why WILDers wake up early in the stage of REM. It kinda makes sense and is completely natural. I guess. So anyway I wake up in the middle of the night completely empty. Heres the thing: I had NO IDEA I fell asleep. I look at the time; 5:30. Holy crap. BUT I DIDNT NOTICE I FELL ASLEEP! Then i went, maybe im deaming. Check. Nope. Very awake. But its dark like midnight outside! So I start again but as I try to fall asleep I see the sun rising and morning pointing his ugly face. Crap i have nothing. So heres the dream: Im fighting a creature that looks like a mix of the Joker and Johnny Depp (in Alice). I never touch him during the dream; he throws stuff which I avoid or catch and throw back. We are fighting in a scenery that looks similar to the forest in Alice (though i didnt see the movie). After a while I end up next to a ladder which leads to a dark attic/cave. I hesitate and decide not to go inside in fear of meeting a Skulltula (huge spider in Zelda that hangs on ceilings). Down there is a turquoise (greenish blue) flashing light. I am not myself; I am a big bearded man. Then what appears to be a clone of me and my wife (?) jump down. The light becomes huge and they never come back. Back with Johnny, in my living room this time. He throws some kind of boomerang like Batmans, but when i catch it it becomes soft and flexible. I also catch and throw a thing that looks like a Liechi Berry in pokemon, only much bigger. I find a way to lock him up outside behind the main entrance. I see his blurry face through the window. Then I turn around, go up the stairs and when I look back: he got back in. Then i scream : HEIN? COMMENT YA FAIT POUR RENTRER?! (how did he get back in?!) Then i wake up. Note: This was not a nightmare. Simply a weird, creepy dream. Side-dream I remember vaguely another dream before that where I tried to impress Ali the Bachelorette by writing mean things in a window of a room. Then she would get inside the room and see all those sweet messages I wrote all over the walls and ceiling. All of them were signed: Ray,Ray,Ray,Ray.... I think i was helped by a group of asian policemen. Thats it.
Second Dream Journal, Yesterday I did not rember my dream, so i didnt post anything. The dream start out with me and my cousin(Who has been in prevous dreams, yet I have not seen her in 5 years. Possibly a dream sign.)were walking along a river, and needed to cross. It turns out it was a swamp infested with a ton of alligators. As we rn along it trying to evade them, my cousin decideds it would be smart to swim in it. When she does, a tiny alligator bites her legs, nothing to serious, but little to our knowledge the river is infested with perainas! She gets out of the water just as they start to tear her apart, I wake up shortly after. No sign of me trying to perform a RC to my dissapointment, hopefully I will in the future!
This morning, after awakening and reading a little, I decided to try to enter a lucid dreaming state. I had trouble for about half an hour, probably because I was so focused on staying aware, I kept myself awake. Finally, I dropped into a light sleep, began normal dreaming and then I awoke but found I was very heavy. I knew I was in the right state to enter a lucid dream. I closed my eyes and felt a building, intense sensation and then the intense vibration hit and I began feeling disoriented (not in a negative sense, though) and then immediately felt another vibration and I was in the dream world. I was floating around, not really able to control it much and then saw that I was in a wide open landscape with lush greenery and high hedges. I floated to the ground but found I couldn't fly as easily as the other morning's dream. My movements felt very sludgey and I could only bounce/float. Then I noticed a big red barn a couple hundred yards away and wanted to go look at it. I tried to fly and suddenly I felt very weighted and winded. I opened my mouth to take a big breath and then suddenly I was out of the dream and awake. I felt somewhat frustrated, wondering what went wrong. Any insight would be appreciated.
Went to bed very late, and very tired. Did a lot of RCs during the day... I'm dreaming, but not lucid. I think to myself, this isn't a dream, of course, but I'll do an RC anyway. Of course I'll find that it's not a dream. I look at my hands. Whoops! This doesn't look right! I must be dreaming! Can't remember anything after that....bummer. Not sure if I'm going to count this as an LD. Conditions: 2400 mg of Omega03&6 Fish Oil (BB) 1000 mg Vitamin B6 (BB) Checked hands (DD) Played on DV forum (DD) Alarm at 90 minute intervals Fell asleep: 2:30am WBTB: Several times. --------------------- JBB=Just before bed after 9pm AB= At bedtime 11:30pm BB=Before Bedtime after 5pm DD=During the day between wake and 5pm

August 1, 2010 Hanging out with The Beatles I was on a ship with some DC's. Notably, i was hanging out with a young John and Paul (George and Ringo were there too, but not in sight atm).. We were playing on this baseball diamond. The baseball diamond had stuff lying across it (was like we were in a storage compartment of some sort), but we decided to mess around in there, anyways. I was standing with my foot on home plate and John had the ball. We looked at Paul and I told John to toss the ball to me. Paul started running towards the plate as the ball was in the air. I almost dropped it, but didn't. "You're out!" I gleefully told him. The 5 of us walked towards this tent thing. Like festival tenting - metal poles with a canvas roof. I inwardly thought about how much I love hanging out with them. I guess I had some inkling that this wasn't normal, but, I wasn't lucid. I was mostly just enjoying myself! Some DC's were eating at this tent.Something about a girl here, who was lying about who she had said she was. Can't remember much else about this, but whatever it was, it had me pissed off. We docked at something that was like an indoors terminal (like going from the inside of an airplane to the inside of the airport. Except this was going from the inside of the ship to the inside of the building). There was a lady standing behind a desk in a uniform (white blouse, green vest and skirt) just to my right. I was standing at the entrance to this terminal, waiting. Had something to do with that lying girl. The guys told me to come back and eat with them. I guess we weren't getting off here.
Notes: I did some guided meditation towards learning about some of your past lives (Props to MoSh for that!) and I had one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. I learned a lot about what I thought was a "other" existence, but is actually a past life unfolding slowly to me. Dream: The dream was probably partially caused by the visualizations that were done during the meditation. I was on a train boarding platform, the kind that you would be on right before getting on an old style steam train. The train was in the station, behind me. I do not remember what the weather was like at the time of the dream. I remember arguing about politics for some reason with a random person, I then got on the train, and found my seat. The train starts to roll out of the station, and I remember no more of the dream.
01.08.2010Lucid Dream within a long non lucid dream (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Not a bad night but neither an awesome night. I went to bed very late and I needed to wake up early (in fact earlier as I want to send this asap) I was in a big apartment. I was there with my wife and some friends. In fact, we lived there with another couple and we even sleep with them. The other couple was not as unite as I am with my wife. He wanted to have sex with her and at the same time he was afraid. She was upset about it. She also wanted to have sex but she wanted to wait. Both of them knew I had a lot of eloquence and he was afraid I would convince his girlfriend to have sex with me. She did not want to have sex with me, she wanted to be loyal, but at the same time, she was afraid that my eloquence would convince her to have sex. She also knew I was powerful in my dreams. She though it was all about my pillow, or something odd. I told her if she needed to badly to have sex, we could have sex in a shared lucid dream. I used my eloquence to convince her and she fell for it. We were convinced we would meet in a lucid dream. We went to sleep I had a false awakening and for some reason I knew I was dreaming. My lucidity was not awesome, I realized I was dreaming in my bed, but in my dream bed, not in my real wakin bed (yes, a dream within a dream) I was in a big hall. It was a huge fancy hotel. There were enormous chandeliers, beautiful ones. There were several red and golden carpets. There were no DC at all. I could hear the chatter of loose male voices, but nothing else. In a small table I saw different tubes of paint (for portraits, not regular wall paint) I remembered I had to pick certain colors. I saw some odd colors but I grabbed a blue one, a yellow one and a red one. I had all three, I decided to place them in a basket by themselves. I grabbed a light brown wooden basket. The basket had a small napkin. I placed the tubes inside. Red, yellow, blue. I closed up the basket and prepared as a gift. I look at the basket and said, "This is a gift that contains all three colors" I realized that I did both "one of each color" and/or "something with all three colors" As it was not clear what to do I did both. A little after this, I saw other baskets with several more colors, like rainbow ones, that contained all the primaries and secondaries ones. I big door opened. I though in meeting my female friend. I realized I was going to have my first dream share. I was excited. The door opened and I though, "It is just a stupid white horse. Damn it" I realized I had to ride it. Now it had a small shinny horn in the middle of its third eye. It was a unicorn all right. I rod it, I think for a few seconds and jumped out of it. I said, "I did ride the stupid unicorn, both tasks done. Where is my female lover!" The unicorn was gone and I saw a couple of male DC. We started to talk about being in a lucid dream. My lucididy level decreased here, but I was still lucid. I told them I was dreaming, waiting for a hot female friend that needed sex in waking, but could not have it. I told them I was loyal to my wife and I would no have sex for real with her. They told me it was a good idea. They asked me that they wanted to do the same. I told them we were already in a dream, but they could try to go to sleep in the lucid and awake in other place. They left to do it. I then realized that at least for me, if I went to sleep in a lucid I would awake, I did that before. I started to walk around to see if I finally meet with this lady. My dream vanishes. I have a False Awakening in the bed I "went to sleep" initially. I was alone now in my bed, but I could hear the other female DC. She told me that she broke up with his boyfriend because he left with my wife. I was not hurt about it, so I had some degree of very low lucidity. I wanted then to find this lady. I left my place and knew she lived in an Arabic country. I was going to fly (in a plane) to her country, however, I appeared right there. I was in the middle of an Arabic bazaar I was a little afraid. I did not know the language and I was not sure if I could communicate. I did not know either if I wanted to make a new life there or what. I saw a small wooden house, it was a restaurant so I decided to enter it. I could not understand a word of the environmental chatter. I saw some small tables without cloth. They had a small candle. I saw some DC eating odd food. The restaurant was not very full, in fact, it was almost empty. I did not find this lady here so I exited the restaurant. I saw a big hill, it was very green, full of grass. I saw a small home at the very end. As I approached the house, the female DC exited the home with a white dress. The wind moved her dress and her hair. I felt very good. We met and kissed. We entered her place. Her place was very big (in was bigger than her house from the outside) It had several stores and a lot of fancy rooms. We had to watch out for her family, they could not spot us. We started to make out, but a male voice approached so we stopped. It was her dad. I can't remember what he did told her. We went to another room and we started to make out and we had sex (I remember a lot of detail here, but I won't share due minors in the board. Add one more paragraf and allow your imagination to run... probably you will be close) Her mom suddenly appeared. She jumped off me and I kept laying on my back. Her mom asked her something, smiled at me and greeted me. She asked me what I was doing lying on my back (I had clothes now) I told her I was meditating. I kept looking at the roof and I woke up. Missed dream signs: - Four people in my bed. - Talking about dreams in the dream. Noticed dream sings: - The FA. Reality check performed: - None. Second part missed dream signs: - The FA. - Abrupt scenery change. - Not being spotted by the DC's mom. What I would have done if lucid: - Probably wake myself up due long lucid.

This dream started out at a football practice. The practice was a sort of scouting practice, where we would run plays and then the scout would decide which school we were qualified to go to. Some of the better players had already accepted offers from top schools, so they were just watching from the sidelines. The strange thing was that even in the dream I was not a football player. Instead I just happened to be there and was thrown into a few plays. The second play I got into I got the ball for a run, and the blocking ahead of me was incredible. I ended up doing a few cutbacks across the field and scoring a touchdown. The scout mentioned it was a good play, but considering I hadn't played all year I wasn't offered a position at any school. At this point everyone filtered down to the dining hall at the school my dream was taking place in. For some reason I stayed behind to arm wrestle a fellow team mate. I won two rounds of arm wrestling and then we headed down to dinner. I remember taking a seat at a large, round table, which had seats for about 12 or 13 people around it. Many of the seats were taken, but a few were untouched. I sat down at one of these seats, only to have someone say there was already a person there. I asked how that was possible if no one was there and the settings hadn't even been touched. They didn't answer, since the person returned and chose a new seat, telling me it was no problem that I took his. I don't remember the part of the dream where we ate dinner if there was such a part. The next thing I remember about the dream is sitting at the top of a long staircase going down to a large lake. In the lake were enormous floating dormitories. The dormitories below me were the girls only dormitories, and I was sitting there talking to my girlfriend about how I would get into one. We took the steps down, and got to the lake. There were floating heads forming a pathway from the steps to the dormitory door. This was just like in the new Alice in Wonderland movie that just came out, where alice had to jump from head to head. I did this, but as I reached the door I woke up.
01.08.2010Asking for engagement with bottles of wine! (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Not a bad night but neither an awesome night. I went to bed very late and I needed to wake up early (in fact earlier as I want to send this asap due a ToTM done) Second dream: I was in downtown with a friend. We were looking for some females because we wanted to make them happy. We needed to ask them for engagement for some reason. Instead of using a ring, we would use a bottle of wine. We knew that it would work better for us. We were in the top of a skyscraper and we found this females. They were not pretty but we wanted to make them happy. I missed some here. We were counting the amount of bottles we had inside a sack. Each bottle would mean one engagement asked. We pulled five bottles of wine. My friend told me that one of them was just a gift for my mom, so we had to count four. For an unknown reason, I was told I just completed a ToTM... go figure. Missed dream signs: - Asking for engagement random people. - Using bottles of wine for it. What I would have done if lucid: - Head for a ToTM.
01.08.2010Talking with some trial operators. (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Not a bad night but neither an awesome night. I went to bed very late and I needed to wake up early (in fact earlier as I want to send this asap due a ToTM done) First dream: I was at home at the computer. I was talking with two made up trial game operators under my tuition. These folks had very odd and long nick names. A guy entered the room. I was talking with them about my success in my self-employment and my new awesome opportunity. The trial operators appeared very happy for me. I wanted to explain everything to them in detail but I woke up. Missed dream signs: - The trial operators had no @ and odd nicknames. What I would have done if lucid: - Head for a ToTM.
