The lucidity in this dream was very high! It almost felt like I was awake and totally aware. Although, I wouldn't have considered myself superlucid, as I didn't have too much control over a specific DC within the dream...

I can't remember too much, but I do remember that I was on the sidewalk at the beginning, next to some average city buildings. A couple of them were short, built from burgundy and red bricks, and others were stucco. It was a potluck of different buildings, but it looked pretty normal. I became lucid from a blast of awareness, and I observed the dream for a few seconds, just looking at the details of the location and breathing in the air. I did an RC for fun by looking at my palm, and I had seven fingers all fanned out on my right hand. I looked down the street and thought about what I could do.

Suddenly, I saw my Healthy Lifestyles class teacher walking down the sidewalk, in her gray yoga pants and a black hoodie. She came towards me and said angrily, "you, get back to school!"

This unnerved me slightly, but I managed to keep most of my lucidity without losing focus. "You have to go, now!" she continued.

I told her that this was a dream. I also stated that I was right in the middle of deciding what to do, and to please leave me alone. I didn't want to disrespect her, even though she was just a DC. She told me that I wasn't dreaming, and to stop being silly, but I persisted. She made a rude remark and stalked away.

I was lying in bed, waiting for sleep paralysis to thrust me into a dream (even though I was already in a non-lucid dream!). I was able to curl my hands up into fists and wiggle my toes, which struck me as being slightly odd, but only in an interesting way and nothing else.

Even though my eyes were closed, I could see through them. I also had a second pair of eyes looking down on myself from above, near the ceiling.

I then heard a woman's voice begin to narrate, almost as if it was telling me what to expect in sleep paralysis. It was a slightly kind voice, as if in a commentary. It began by saying, "in sleep paralysis, remember that nothing is real. Everything is in your mind". The voice continued describing sensations as they happened. The last thing that happened was the covers at my feet being pulled away, and then the voice said, "you may also get the sensation that there's the shadow of something looming over you." At the same time, I actually got that sensation down by my feet.

I then found myself back in bed with no feelings of sleep paralysis anymore. My arms were also both at my sides again, and not under my pillow. I slowly got up, did the digital clock RC with my alarm clock, and it was negative: no dream. I did it a few times just to make sure, and also performed the nose-plug RC, but still no dream.

Notes:
This is a dream added from a few months earlier.

The entirety of this dream occurred in one classroom. It had beige walls, and long modern wooden desks; each desk was almost the length of the classroom and had many laptops lined up, with a swiveling chair in front of each one. Outside, it was pretty dark. Although the lights were off in the room, there was a long line of windows (like in reality) along the side of the classroom, and so enough light came in to illuminate the area.

The door to the room was closed.

I was with my friend, Alex. which wasn't really that odd. However, the strange thing was that we were both floating. To make things even more bizarre, I was wearing a normal, everyday outfit, but my Coach runners each had one maraschino cherry on the lace part.

We stayed in the classroom, floating and drifting around for a few minutes, and then Jim Carrey suddenly opened the door and walked right in. He asked us how we were able to fly, and neither of us knew how to explain it.

This was the second in a recent spate of dreams involving Iron Man. Since this was a longer dream, I became lucid on and off throughout the course of it. When the lucid parts occurred, it was less-than-average lucidity.

I began this dream in a massive, futuristic dome; it had glass tiles like Disney's Epcot sculpture, and was the size of a few football fields. There was a blimp near the ceiling with a flat top, almost like a table. There was grass and palm trees on the ground, and different small stores around the edges. In the middle of the dome, there were city buildings, and here, the lighting was darker. This is where I was first. I was falling towards the buildings, and I heard narration from my dream: "since this is a dream, you can trampoline off the buildings without getting hurt, due to the nature of the dream." I didn't become lucid yet, but when I impacted the top of an apartment building, it bounced inwards slightly and I rebounded. The next time I hit a building, I only bounced a foot or two, and then landed on the ground.

The next thing I knew, I was on a ski mountain, probably a green run. The hill was fairly steep, and at the bottom, I could see the ski rental station and another larger building. I had to get down quick, as I was late to meet Tony Stark, back at that massive dome. I had skis on, so I began to slide down the hill. There were a few ripples in the hill, but on the last one one of my skis flew off, so I had to go down on only one ski. I arrived at the rental station and became aware that I was dreaming. I had to leave the ski resort and check out my ski equipment, so I tossed the one ski over and said, "bill me". Even though I was lucid, the lucidity wasn't strong enough, and so I wanted to maintain courtesy towards the attendant. As I turned around and began to run away, they called me back and said that their credit card system is down. I rolled my eyes and pulled out a random wallet, pulled out a large bill, and then said to keep the change.

The dream skipped again and I was no longer lucid. I was back in the dome, which seemed a bit smaller than before, and I still had the priority of getting to where Tony Stark was. Apparently he was on that blimp with the flat top. It wasn't that big; around the size of a regular bedroom. I pushed off from the ground and flew across the area to where the blimp was, and landed. There was a table covered with a white tablecloth, and Stark was there along with two other people. I pulled up a seat at the head of the table and said, "sorry I'm late, I got caught up in something." He was in a tux identical to the one below.

At the table in front of me, there was a tasty-looking hot dog with vegetables and stuff. I didn't look to see what the others were eating, as it didn't really cross my mind. On the hot dog, there was mustard and some shiny, dark green condiment that actually looked pretty tasty. I remember going lucid again and eating the entire thing, but then losing the lucidity!

While eating after becoming unconscious again, I plunged into a senseless conversation with him, his two bodyguards (as I then found out) casually listening on. Some lines from our conversation were, but not limited to:

"I know we both invented it in our own separate ways, but you were quicker getting it into public."
"They costed a lot of money. I had to sell a really expensive dress I owned to get proper funding for the event."

I can't recall the direct purpose or topic of the conversation. This was pretty much all there was, and then I became lucid just as the dream was ending. I decided that this was a pretty interesting dream and didn't want to forget about it by DEILDing.

Enter Nomad (Non-lucid)

★★★★☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Transformed, behind us, likely screwing around, is Nomad, disguised as a container of sorts. Similar to the ones my friends and I had been rummaging through earlier. I know it's him because my perspective had switched to third person omniscient moments ago. He is clearly goofing off, likely without any grand motivation.

Well, I can mess around, too. I think, as I break off from the group and draw my blade. Propelling myself forward, I shoot through the air, mere inches off the ground, straight toward that metallic container. Swiping upward, the world flashes as I make my cut, rendering the object in two. Times slows enough for me to see Nomad's shocked face as he drifts backward in the air, now in his own body.

Landing smoothly, he grins before breaking apart into a platoon of smaller versions of himself. They rush me. I dart into the air, but the little buggers are too fast; They're all over me, taunting and laughing like little madmen, as they tear at my body.

"BANKAI!"

The rush of energy throws them all off, scattering them on the concrete below. I don't hesitate. Raising my sword, I form a tornado that quickly ensnares all the miniatures in a whirling vortex. The sight reminds me of how Raven divides herself, which reminds me of the Disturbed song of the same name. Feeling creative, I play through a key part in the song, but change the lyrics ever so slightly to "Form together and combine!" Sure enough, all the copies trapped within my tornado lump together into a full sized Nomad. But I wasn't done just yet.

KA-CRACK!

A bolt of lighting tears through the air, piercing the tornado and the man within it. Nomad drops to the ground as the tornado dissipates, no longer amused. I wonder if he knows who I am. Maybe I should've introduced myself first. My thoughts are interrupted as a distortion in the air brings my attention back into focus. A woman I recognize as Raven appears from the anomaly and drops down next to Nomad. Nomad brings me to her attention, and she immediately takes a defensive stance.

"Hey," I say, nonchalantly, while motioning with my dual blades, "Why don't the three of us have a spar? You two versus me."

They stare at me, shocked, before turning to each other, as if to confer. Looking back at me, Nomad nods solemnly. I'll take that as a yes, then.

KA-CRACK!

I start things off by striking the two of them with another bolt of lightning, but I had the source come from directly behind them this time. It was just enough to throw them off guard as I lunged forward, ready to strike.

I woke up.

I was in my kitchen, but it didn't look anything like the real thing. This room had light-colored wooden cabinets, drawers, and even countertops. I should also mention that the flooring was white marble like one would find in a million-dollar mansion. The lights were on, casting a yellow glow, but it was pitch black outside.

I was walking around for no apparent reason, and I stopped at the stove (which was a normal-looking black color).There were two sausages sizzling in a pan, but there was no light indicating that the stove was on. I pushed a large round button that stuck out of the panel on the back of the stove; it was about the size of my palm. The sausages stopped cooking as soon as I pressed it.

I turned around and sat on the countertop, looking around the room almost in a restless fashion. There was no table for people to sit at. I looked down and I was suddenly in an astronaut suit. It had way less details than it should've had though, and it didn't seem like I was looking through a helmet. I spent the rest of the dream looking around the kitchen for some unknown item.

i remembered another fragment. all i remember is being in a bathroom, i don't know what kind, i think someone was there with me. sad i can't remember more.

The beginning of the dream is long and concerns a secret military base in a valley in an unnamed country, though I have forgotten most of it. I am my Chinese dream incarnate Chun-li. The military base contains a medical ward that has an odd layout. One end of the infirmiry is located by a lake at the far end of the valley, while another part of it is located up river in a square building in the central region of the valley.

I (as Chun-li) am a scientifically engineered super soldier and have been hybernating in a deep sleep for many years. The army commanders decide to wake me up for some reason and send me from one end of the medical facility to the other, but even though I just woke up and I am not at full physical strength, they make me walk up the river to the other building.

Along the way I pass a gnarley, leafless tree that has three blue sacs sitting in three different crooks of the tree. The sacs are about soccor ball sized and transparent, when I look inside each of them I can see blue embryos and upon seeing them I know they are "my eggs" and that they are a combination of my cloned cells and my ovarian egg cells combined to create more super soldiers like me. They are alive and thriving but I wonder why they have been placed in a tree and are not in a scientific lab.

I continue on my way to the square building and see a group of soldiers digging away at the base of a cliff on the other side of the river. They look farmiliar to me but I cannot place their names, and they do not notice my prescence. When I arrive at my destination I am immediately placed in bed and given a private room to rest in. I am fading in and out of consciousness for several hours as a variety of people, including doctors, scientists and old army buddies come in to check on me.

Some doctors and scientists come in one day and put me to sleep with anestesia. Even though my body is unconscious my mind can hear them talking. They are discussing my eggs in the tree down the river and arguing whether it would be best for their development to stay in the tree or to transplant the eggs back into my body now that I was out of deep hybernation. The doctors seem to be arguing that it would be better for the eggs to be returned to my body while the scientists were saying that the eggs would become stronger by being in the tree.

At the conclusion of the argument, the blue eggs, which were now golf-ball sized, were placed back into my body to develop, but the dream ended before the anestesia wore off and I could wake up.

Kind of a crappy dream..

I was a wizard on a hill (lol), and I just remember looking at my hands and feeling weirded out and then using the nose plug RC to test, and I could still breathe normally.

Don't really remember anything else.
Though I was excited to go to sleep, cuz I slept a full 15 hours, and I convinced myself I would lucid dream.
Kind of disappointing, but still, it felt cool when I could breathe haha.

I was walking down my street and noticed that something is shining in sky. I thought it was shooting star but someone told me that those are fireworks. I though It's strange so I done a RC, It succeeded but then some DC told me that fireworks are due to someones marriage. I accepted that fact and didn't become lucid.

Dream from a nap I took in the evening:

I'm camping with Katey, Robbie, and Paul. I believe we are somewhere out near Mt. Toro. It's dark, and we are running around the campsite. At one point I almost run and jump into a coyote and nearly have a heart attack. There is another family at the campsite, though they are not with us.
----------
I'm driving my dad's car from the backseat. I have little control over the car, but I continue to drive. I look in the rearview mirror and see an individual's midsection; I can't tell if they are running after me or not. Before reaching a highway intersection I successfully pull the car over.

Into: Okay, for those of you who were paying attention to the first part from yesterday, i appreciate it, It means alot. But onward to the story! I've notice something today when I woke up like around 3 in the afternoon.(I sleep in longer so my dreams are too, smart huh? XD ) That the story from yesterday and from the day after, it's all connected to my aunts house. The only person I know that lives near the woods. And across the street from it. And in order to get there I have to catch SEPTA (South Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) Buses, Trains, Trolleys, is some of the things that I have to take to get there.


The Black Cougar Pt. 2

When I fell fast asleep, my dream started almost instantly. I was waiting for the 11 trolley to take me to Center City Philadelphia, from there, the Broad St. line to Olney TPC (Transportation Center) and then I'll walk there to her house. The trolley finally came and I got on. I meet up with an old friend from elementry school, Richard was his name, I asked him wassup? how you been? He replied back Ah, chillin man, just came back from my girls crib. Bout to head back up to olney. Im headin up there too, To my aunts house I said. So we sat on the trolley, catchin up from our childhood at school. Then we made it to Center City and as we were walking to the Broad St. Line, Three guys was just leaning on the wall lookin at us. We both looked back at them, and kept walkin to the train station. As we were waiting for the train. I looked down the tunnel to see if it was coming, but instead i saw the black cougar, walking down the middle of the tracks, showing no fear of the train. But I blinked, and it was gone. And then, it felt like my back had weight on it, whatever it was, i took it off and it was my bookbag. And im thinking to myself where the hell did this come from? Then i remembered that it was a dream, so I opened it and inside was 2 Japanese swords. WTF is going on? I thought. I heard yelling and sreaming from upstairs. Me and Richard looked up the steps, but the screaming stopped. He looked at me and said Better get ready. I said For what? wtf is gonna happen?! Your worst fears are letting out Brandon he said as three demons just like appeared in front of us. I'm not scared of monsters or whatever these guys are i said, Its losing my friends and Family is what im worried about. Then i put one katana on my back and the other on my right side of my thigh. I was ready to fight but then I remembered that Richard didnt have anything to defend himself, i looked at him and he pulled out two pistols. Ard, i thought to myself, He'll be okay. One demon stepped up to me and i quickly drew my sword, cut off his arm then his head. He drooped to the ground and turned to dust. Another one took a step toward Richard and i heard a click. That wasn't good. It was empty. He brought a gun with no bullets to a fight. I jumped in front of him and told the demons to back off. It laughed and they both tried to attack, i drew my other sword and cut them both down. Next time brig bullets I said. Yeah , I wont forget he said.... Then I woke up.

I have trouble arranging dreams in the exact order they occurred. Also, sometimes I find it difficult to keep them from merging within my mind before I wake up to write them down. This sometimes results in a bit of confusion when I finally get to writing down my dreams in my journal. Last night, I had what now seem to be three separate lucid dreams within my first six hours of sleep. I have tried to arrange them in the manner that seems most right.

The first dream I can remember involved a recent road trip I went on. I was traveling by myself through small towns in the west, and I was being followed by a hobo who wanted to take my money or something. This was a bit scary but not, like, a full on nightmare or anything.

Somehow, this dream morphed and I was walking in a retail store. I think it was a Wal Mart or something. Anyway, the main aisle became a sort of highway and there were people lined up along the sides watching me. I felt strange and the whole scenario seemed off. At first I thought that they knew something about me and the cop was going to find out this secret. I didn't even know the secret! Eventually I figured it out: I was lucid and they were dream characters. This made me feel great but I didn't really know what to do so I just strolled around the store talking to my DCs and enjoying myself.

There is a gap and I believe that last dream ended, sending me into a false awakening. I remember waking up in my bed. I instantly felt that something was off, so I did a reality check. I pressed my right pointer finger into my hand and it went right through. I had that EUREKA feeling again and got very excited. I jumped out of bed and looked for a way out of my house. I saw the window and burst through it, flying very hard in what would be a eastern direction. I ended up at a nearby elementary school, the one I attended as a child. I stood in the field and wondered what to do from there. So I guess I created a tower and started climbing it. Then I decided that it should be winter and it started snowing. This was awesome! I pretty much just jumped around on this tower, slid down it, made snow angels, etc. etc. I was having fun.

Eventually, I think this dreamscape morphed into a more alien landscape. I remember sitting under the tower and enjoying the knowledge that I was lucid. Looking about, I was in a new place, a place not familiar to me. I entered a nearby bunker and saw my ex there. This was strange but I accepted her as real. I think that was part of the reason that I started losing dream clarity and lucidity. All of a sudden, the bunker (which reminded me of an old church) started being shot at by nails. Strange. So I promised her I would get the nail-shooter to stop. I went out into the cold and started running in the direction of the assailant. But I fell down a hill and my father was down at the bottom. He had a fire going too and my two boxer dogs Chester and Georgie were down there too. He made me watch after them, even though I told him that I was having a lucid dream and I needed to go. I ended up falling asleep there by the fire and lost lucidity.

This was an exciting night of sleep but I think I have to watch out for dream characters because I tend to believe they are real and they tell me to do stupid things. Also, I never really know what to do when I become lucid, so usually I just fly around and get really excited. Haha. What should I do? If I focus on plans before I go to bed, will this influence my dreams?

On the night of the 28th, I went to bed at around 2 in the morning and so I set my morning alarm for 8. In that first period of sleep, I remember very little dream wise. I got up to use the bathroom and read over my dream journal for the past few days. Then I very quickly fell back asleep, but not before doing a bit of the MILD technique. I fell asleep chanting "you will know when you are dreaming."

So I was in my basement. This was a dream of course, but it was a very realistic representation and I accepted it as reality. I looked out the window and saw a group of individuals who I can only describe now as super-villains. They were wearing weird costumes and I could tell they were up to no good. This should have been a good opportunity for a reality check, but I missed it. I ran upstairs and told my parents that there were evil people trying to blow up the house. So we all found weapons around the house and got ready to fight them off. This would have been another good opportunity for an RC. But nope.

I had found a weapon which was a combination of a kukri, a gun, and a camera lens. One super-villain struck me as very dangerous because I could see that she had a sniper rifle. So I shot her three times in the head. But she did not die... So I ran upstairs and asked my dad "how do I kill that lady?" And he responded: "Just shoot her in the head!" Well I already had. Three times. Finally, this struck me as strange. All of a sudden, she was in the house and coming right for me. At that moment, I became lucid.

I remember spinning around with the kukri and chopping her in half. But I was way too excited and my spinning motion sent me right up into the air and literally through the roof. So I was flying. I knew this would be difficult to stabilize. I sort of levitated, and then would drift over to things as I focused on them. But all I could really focus on was clouds. Eventually i lost lucidity and woke up.

I did have other dreams that night/morning, but this one was cool because of the lucidity and the flying. I thought I would share it.

[PT] Sonhei que a igreja perto da minha casa estava em festa. Uma mulher ligou para minha casa e me perguntou: "O que a igreja significa para você?". Fiquei um pouco pensativo. Ela disse que daria um tempo para eu pensar e retornaria a ligação mais tarde. Fiquei pensando no que eu responderia quando ligassem novamente. Após algum tempo, o telefone tocou. Era Eduardo (um amigo meu que pretende ser padre no futuro). Ele repetiu a pergunta. Eu respondi: "Bem, eu fiz catequese nessa igreja, e fiz muitas amizades aí. Algumas dessas amizades eu mantenho até hoje. Então, eu posso dizer que, para mim, a igreja simboliza a amizade e a união.". Eduardo riu, mas gostou do que eu disse. Não lembro de mais detalhes.

[EN] I dreamed that the church near my house was on holiday. A woman called my house and asked me: "What does the church mean to you?". I was a bit thoughtful. She said she would give me time to think and would call me later. I wondered what I would respond when she calls. After some time, the phone rang again. It was Edward (a friend of mine who want to be a priest in the future). He repeated the question. I replied, "Well, I did catechism in this church, and made many friends there. Some of these friendships I hold till today. So I can say that, for me, the church symbolizes friendship and unity.". Edward laughed, but liked what I said. I do not remember more details.
