    1. Two-Sided Beach, You're in Middle School?

      by , 07-28-2010 at 12:32 PM
      Night of 2/6/09

      Two-Sided Beach

      I know I've had dreams in this location more than once. I start at a beach. Nice sand, beautiful water, but there aren't really any waves, so it must not be the ocean, but a lake or a bay. I wade out into the water and there are tons of people, almost too many to be able to get anywhere in the water. I don't think I've gone too far when I see the other side of this body of water and it's just another beachy shore. This is strange to me because I've never been to a place like this IRL and it comes up in my dreams enough that I recognize it.

      You're in Middle School?

      I'm in a school hallway and I'm walking somewhere. I see teachers as they're coming out of their classrooms and each one of them is doing that thing where you make glasses on your face when you make the "ok" gesture with both hands and flip them upside down so that the "o"s are over your eyes and your other fingers are cupping your chin. I'm really happy as I'm walking down the hall and I do it back at them! Everyone's smiling and having a good time with this.

      So I make it to a staircase and realize I'm on the second level. On the staircase are students eating lunch. They've got their food all spread out and they're sitting in little groups eating and talking. There is no way to navigate my way down the stairs unless I sort of shimmy down the banister. So I start going down the left hand side with my butt on the railing and my hands balancing me and my feet are tiptoeing over the kids' food. I finally get to the bottom and see that it's the lunchroom. I stop at a table and start talking to a girl who's by herself eating lunch. I don't remember what was said, but I asked her was she like a sophomore or junior and she said she's only fourteen and in the 8th grade. I was stunned that she was in middle school because she looked much older and was acting so mature.

    2. Breaking into Victoria's Secret, Michael Cera at Toys 'R' Us

      by , 07-28-2010 at 12:30 PM
      Night of 2/5/09

      Breaking into Victoria's Secret

      I wish I could remember how this started. I was just so stunned when I woke up from this that I could only focus on the end.

      I'm in Victoria's Secret at a mall. I think I was shopping for something, but I'm wearing my new pajamas (that I just bought from Victoria's Secret yesterday!!). I look at the door and it's two glass doors that are closed and locked. A mall security guard comes up and opens the doors and comes in. He doesn't see me, so I sit down in a chair and pretend I'm asleep. Or a mannequin. I don't know which. I think my eyes are open though, so I see what was going on. The security guard comes in with a guy and a girl and they're both wearing dangly earrings.

      Next thing I know, I'm being interrogated by the security guard and the guy with the earrings on and now he's only got one earring in. The security guard asks me how I got in there and I said, "I don't know, I'm dreaming, I must have dreamed myself in here!!" (Makes perfect sense, right? Like I knew VS was a real place and I could really be in there, but not after it was closed. I'm stuck with not knowing whether this counts as lucid or not.)

      I go on to explain that, "All I know is that this guy was looking for his earring and he had two before and only one now. Then you start interrogating me about how I got in here." I was so confident in my answers. I'm amazed that this happened in my dream... that I told someone I was dreaming.

      Michael Cera at Toys 'R' Us

      I'm at a toy store riding a BMX bike around. I ride around until I find that there's an event going on. My boss comes up to me and asks me to introduce the pro bike riders who are doing a demonstration. I get off my bike and grab a microphone and there are bleachers and people sitting everywhere. There are a couple of pro bike riders going up ramps and doing tricks. I walk down into an area that's kind of like a big box. There are no ramps, just walls. It's a special area where the bikers can go straight up a wall without a ramp or anything. I'm not even saying anything into this microphone, I'm just watching. One biker rides into the wall, goes up it and launches into the air. He does a flip and it looks like he's going to land on his side, but as he lands, he lands on a peg on the back wheel and just spins around parallel to the ground.

      I leave this area and walk around looking at the crowd now like I'm security. A few other employees and I are talking when we see a biker, who is now on a motorcycle, crash into a little girl who is walking with her mom and little sister!! I run to the store manager, who can't be bothered about this, and she tells me to go find Jeff. I find Jeff and I'm yelling his name cuz he's in the area where the demonstration is and it's hard to hear because the crowd is cheering so loud. So I grab him and bring him to where the accident is. As I'm walking there, I accidentally step on the little sister's hand because she was crouched down with her mom checking on the girl that just got crashed into. She freaks out and screams, "I'm going to need an x-ray!!!!" And starts crying. SO I walk away.

      I go down the aisles and I see people in brown uniforms putting stuff on the shelves. I figure it's the overnight crew. There are some Oakley sunglasses in a box by the baseball bats, so I grab a pair and put them on. They're like fake plastic little kid sunglasses. I should have known. I push them up onto my head. I see some employees by the cash registers talking and walk up to them. At one of the check out aisles, I see little tubes of M&M's and have a moment of clarity and realize I'm dreaming, but it fades as soon as I grab one of the tubes of M&M's and open it and pour some into my hand. I turn around and one of the employees is Michael Cera from the movie Superbad. I look a him and ask him point blank in front of everyone else if he would like a blow job. He looks so surprised. So I grab him by the hand and lead him to the restrooms. We go into the handicapped stall and he unzips his pants. He looks down and seems embarrassed because his penis is so small. I turn around and see that there's a mirror on the wall. I look in the mirror and see Michael behind me and now he has a penis growing out of the front of his neck. It is the worst penis I have ever seen. It has like polyps all over it and is bumpy and just bad.

      Next thing I know, Michael and I are in the parking lot outside and I'm telling him I just couldn't do it, and I'm sorry, but I think he has an STD. He says, "STD stands for Southern Texas Defense!! I don't have that!!!"

      Wow.

      Night of 2/2/09

      There were four parts to this dream and I remembered to write them down when I was in Social Justice class:

      - kick Missy out
      - Zelda video game
      - $20k for killing guy on boat
      - "Odie" dog's personality

      I have an ex named Missy who I hate. we were at a party and she was there. I didn't want her there and made a big fuss about it and had her kicked out. this actually led to the last part about "Odie." I remember driving somewhere and someone was talking about this dog that had multiple personalities and when he was evil he went by "Odie."

      it started out wth me being a spy on a boat and there was a bad guy on a boat (which I somehow hijacked) and I killed him. when I got back to shore there was a big party and someone said I got $20k for killing the bad guy. I remember thinking "great now we can pay off all our bills!!!"

      no idea what the Zelda video game is about.

    4. July 28, 2010

      by , 07-28-2010 at 11:57 AM (Book of Dreams)
      ((The dates on my DJ have been messed up, because I've been dating my dreams as occurring the night I go to sleep, when they usually occur in early morning, so it looks like I skipped a day but really I'm just doing things differently.))

      I know I had more than one dream, but when I awoke from my first dream, I decided to not record it because something about it bugged me, like it was boring or something. All I remember is I was late for work.

      1- The Poetic Parrot
      There was a brownish orange bird that flew down from the sky and landed on a lamp post. It began reciting a poem. When it was finished, it said, "That poem dates back to... what was it? 18..." All of the sudden, Stewie from Family Guy shouts from his stroller "ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!" The bird was taken aback by this. "Well, you have no pleasure in life at all!"

    5. Porsche super car and my bike ... again

      by , 07-28-2010 at 11:51 AM (scumpy's journey to lucidity...)
      Dream recall was very bad last night
      Only a snippet and a portion of another dream

      Snippet: I steal a Porche super car, it's either one of a kind or extremely rare. I escape through a parking lot with lots of cops with flashing blue ad red lights in black and white cars chasing me (we don't have those kind of police cars here).They chase onto the road, I take a side road and it looks like I'm gonna get away but then it turns into a sidewalk which leads back to the road where the cops are.... That's all I remember.


      I'm at a meeting with some of my bike club friends, one of them has emptied a pile of stuff onto the table from his pocket or a bag. I take all the coins and start counting them, I make a high tower of the R1 coins and it falls over.... Later we're riding bikes, we're at the top of a steep dirt hill with sandy tracks coming up. We go down one at a time to take turns coming up, C rolls down backwards and almost gets hit by a car on the road at the bottom of the hill. M is next but she uses my bike, because it has the lowest seat. She also rolls back quite dangerously and drops my bike as she starts, I'm not bothered or worried about it at all, she barley makes it up and we have to grab the handle bars and hall her up the last bit. It's my turn and I ask if I can use the other DC's bike (I don't know him). It's a HP2 , at some point the bike develops peddles and it is discussed that I should be fine because I have the right shoes?? I ride down and turn around safely and smugly, I ride up the hill on only the back wheel and ramp over the crest still landing only on the back wheel. I do a bunny hop thing up a step just past them.

    6. Medieval Castle

      , 07-28-2010 at 11:05 AM
      This dream is basically a video game inside my head. In fact, I actually remember seeing a flat top-down map from a video game growing into an amazing 3D castle in seconds.

      I remember being in my house. Suddenly, we realised that my little brother wasn't there. Immediately, I went into the lift in our house (which doesn't exist in real life), and went down underground into a crazy mystical land. Well, it wasn't at first. At first, it was just like an infinite nothingness, with a 2D map on the totally flat ground. Suddenly, in front of my eyes, the ground expanded into full 3D, building up from the ground.

      I don't remember too much from inside the castle, but I do remember being inside the castle in a room with stone walls around me, and a moat of lava between me and a bunch of enemies (who looked surprisingly like Goombas from Mario).


      I think I woke up after a couple of minutes of battle.

      One thing I can say is that this was by far the craziest of dreams that I've had, and I'm shocked that nothing about it seemed strange enough to go lucid. In some ways, though, I'm quite glad that it didn't. It was a great dream, and by far the strangest that I've remembered yet.

    7. 27 july 2010-28 july 2010

      by , 07-28-2010 at 10:39 AM (awesome ninja dream journal)
      jeez this was my first luciid in four months.

      I'm in my bed but I think its my moms bed. I am like 5 and sleeping in my moms bed because i dont like my bed. She asks me to move the heater towards the curtain so that it wont be so cold, but i tell her that makes no sense coz the curtain will catch fire. Then captain Aizen walks into the room and kidnaps my mom. the room goes dark and i try to catch him but he is gone. I go to move the heater like a good little boy but i cant find it. I realise that i must be dreaming so i rub my hands together and proceed to phase through the window. I see a bunch of wierd places but focus on where im going and end up outside. Its pretty dark outside. i try to fly up but my flying skills are completely out of sync. I try to do the lucid task of the month and clone myself using kage bunshin no jutsu. i get really angry because it isnt working but vince mcmahon starts chasing me into the house. He shouts at me and tells me i suck at flying. I fly through my front door to get out of the house. its morning and ive given up on the task of the month. I try to take off by jumping really hard but i cant sustain flight. i see my dog Gwen who is my dreamsign. then i eventually arive at some mansion where i was told someone could help me clone myself. i kinda lost lucidity here.

      my friends entire family was sleeping over at my house(dreamsign) but it was this huge mansion(DS). My dad told me he really doesnt like my friends dad so i just nodded. Then his family woke up and everyone started arguing for no reason at all.my dad started arguing with both of my friends parents so i just put on my shoes and walked away...

      dont really remember much but i was at school and these people were throwing buckets of water at my friends. so as they through the water i froze it in midair and tried to run up the ice but halfway. i walked into class and my teacher talked about the negative effects of drugs, beer and gambling.

      I save this little kid from my school from being run over by a car. its pretty dark outside and this car starts chasing me. I run all the way around a mountain and the car overtakes me and speeds off. For some reason i think the only way to punish this guy is to beat him in a game of poker. Snoop dogg appears out of nowhere. he hands me a deck of cards and the car keys to a porche. just as i'm about to get in my alarm goes off.

    8. a dream within a dream

      by , 07-28-2010 at 10:02 AM
      As I dreamt
      I found that I could manipulate people, objects, scenarios - I could have anything I wanted - anyone that I wanted - a true love to be specific
      It was beautiful and magical..
      I awoke within my dream to tell someone else what I could do, the power I had within my dreams, and I again went under - to show them - to prove what I could do -
      I remember having the ability to go in and out of the dream world - hoping I could continue to do it...
      I was controlling a dream within a dream

    9. 27-07-2010 First Recalled Dream in years!!

      by , 07-28-2010 at 08:50 AM
      So after stumbling upon this site I am really ecstatic that i found it. I cant even remember when last i remembered my dreams. After following the recall tutorial for the first time this is what happened.

      27-07-2010

      I was in my old home town (which i have not visited in 9 years) for a funeral.. I was very upset because my best friends dad had passed away. I remember standing in line for the viewing before the funeral comforting my friends.. When i got to the coffin to say my farewells my gf's dad was inside the coffin...

      After that i walked down to my mom's old work place which was at the post office. I helped her clean the place we didnt say mutch. While we where cleaning people started moving into it, like it was their house.. After that i walked away to a restaurant to have dinner with my friends. Funny enough the restaurant was outside. We chatted alot, athough i cant recall the train of the conversation.. I lost my temper because the food was taking too long...

      After that the waiter brought out oysters.. I remember in detail eating them... and talking to my friends..


      After the dream i woke up and imediatly started writing it down. It was 3 a.m so far so good

    10. First

      by , 07-28-2010 at 07:14 AM
      Fell asleep thinking of how I needed to remember my dreams and write them down.

      Dreamed I was in my living room walking towards my room, and everything was really really dark. I did a reality check and realized I was dreaming (first lucid dream ever)... I started getting really really excited and ended up waking myself up, my heart RACINGGGGGG!@!@@! Turned over and jotted down my dream.

    11. 07/25/10 Lost Star Ship

      by , 07-28-2010 at 07:06 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Note: I fell asleep with my usual list of goals in mind to start off with going to meet MoSh so we could view the dream he had a while back with don Juan where don Juan left a message for me. In addition to that and the usual list I have been including recently, Walms had said something about maybe dropping by my inner world then we would go find Xildron. But he had said he would come to me, so that wasn't so much a goal of mine as it was just an intention to be here when Walms showed up. My final goal was to meet with Blake in a dream. I fell asleep with my light / sound device on, and I was successful in slipping into a WILD…

      I was in MoSh's inner world, which was where I had intended to go when I had initiated my WILD. I walked over to MoSh's house and knocked on the front door, Asuka opened the door and smiled. She definitely looked 100% better than she had looked after her ordeal she had gone through after getting kidnapped. She had a smile on her face now, and stood back from the doorway to let me in. I spotted MoSh right away in the living room doing something with a small device that I couldn't see. I got close to see what it was, but I never got a chance to look at it properly before MoSh threw it against the wall and it broke open to reveal circuit boards covered with chocolate. Um… chocolate chips? MoSh said the piece of junk wasn't working. I suggested maybe the device wasn't working because this was a dream, and often times technological devices don't work properly in dreams. He said nah, those work fine in his dreams. I rolled my eyes at that and told him we were going to go view his conversation with don Juan, we could use my laptop back home. He didn't seem to notice that as odd, and he came with me through the portal to my inner world as if it was the most natural thing ever.

      MoSh and I emerged from the portal into my living room, where I saw it was full of all the cats I have ever lost, which was actually just three kitties… There was a medium length haired silver tabby named Che-Si curled up in my usual seat on the couch which is named, a short haired silver tabby named Bandit on the back of the couch, and a cute little tortoiseshell cat named Amber was curled up on the chair where my mother usually sits. I picked up and hugged Che-si, thinking about how wonderful it would be to get to hold her in my arms again… but I was holding her in my arms again! Sure, this was a dream, but I was holding her in my arms. I stroked the kitty in my arms, hugged her close to me, kissed her soft silky fur, listened to the sound of her purring in my arms… so cute… so sweet… and I missed her… I was getting completely occupied with my kitty until MoSh said something to me, reminding me that he was there, this was a dream, and we actually had a goal to accomplish. I set the kitty down and then sat down on the couch, picking my computer up off the seat to my right and turning it on. MoSh sat on the seat beside me.

      As I started up the computer and selected the dream journal program that only my dream laptop has, MoSh was looking intently at the screen to see what I was looking at. I opened the dream journal program and there was a list of dreams, but they were mine, so I selected MoSh's dream journal. MoSh was telling me a date to find the dream we were looking to view on, but I couldn't really understand what date he was saying, which was quite frustrating since I could understand everything else he was saying. I finally found a dream entitled "Don Juan At My Picnic Table" and I selected that one. The computer gave me a loading icon, then formed the hologram all around MoSh and me, making it look like we really were going into the dream.

      As I surveyed the area I immediately knew something about this was not right, in fact there were a lot of things about this that weren't right. There was no sign of MoSh (other than the one who came with me), don Juan, or even a picnic table anywhere in the vicinity. In fact we were in what looked like a space ship of some kind, one wall of the long hall we were in was looking out into deep space, it was quite a cool sight, but definitely not what MoSh and I had been looking for. I looked outside, and the stars looked really strange through the window… I wasn't sure what I was looking at, but there was a star fairly close to us that was providing light to the hallway. At the end of the hallway was a blue panel that was similar to the ones on the floor and wall, somehow I understood that to be a door. I saw that MoSh was also very disoriented and confused, he looked at me and said he didn't think don Juan had ever been to a place like this. I suggested we take a look around, MoSh wanted to exit the hologram and find the one with don Juan in it, but he finally agreed to check this place out.

      The passage we were in turned out to be a very long curved passage that seemed to be going around the outside edge of a huge space station, it was hard to see, but the passage was curving slightly to the left as we were walking. In some of the hallway segments there were more doors that led to the left, farther into the station, but we had yet to check them out. Finally we opened one of those doors and headed farther into the center of the space station. There were artificial lights in the interior of the station, I had been wondering if there were any lights in this place except for what the stars provided… and an old man met us at the door. If it hadn't been the fact the man was wearing space suite type clothing and looked to be a white man I might have thought he was a shaman, he had that aged and wise look about him. He said something about there being spies in the station, and they were going to steal the knowledge for themselves, then he collapsed, dead, I saw an arrow sticking out of his back… an arrow?! That was the last thing I expected to see in a space station…

      MoSh and I continued exploring the place, not really sure where we were going or how to get there. MoSh said he wanted to go back so we could try again to view the dream with don Juan, this clearly wasn't the right place. I was getting a little tired of the halls that all looked the same, so I was going to agree with MoSh, then I saw one more thing I wanted to investigate. Every so often in the strange walls there was a glowing spot, and these glowing spots seemed evenly spaced down the hall, and they weren't nearly bright enough to be providing light, which came from what appeared to be fluorescent tubes on the ceiling. I told MoSh just a minute and I went over and touched one of the lights, I jumped back a bit as a portion of the wall slid open, revealing itself to be a concealed door. The inside of the room was really weird with a glowing blue cylindrical shaped something in the middle of an otherwise empty room. Somehow I knew this was one of thousands of databases on this ship, I don't know how I knew, I just did, and each of these pillars stored some unfathomable amount of data…

      MoSh looked at the pillar but he didn't seem very interested in it, he clearly still wanted to get going to find don Juan. I told him ok, let's get back to the computer so I could try again to access the correct dream. I told MoSh that I had been in his dream journal when I found this, so that must mean it was one of MoSh's dreams that he had forgotten, or that is what it seemed would have to be the case. MoSh said he would remember if he had ever been in a place like this before. I said we all forget amazing things, reminding him that I had been in an epic battle with Walms' kid Xildron and I'd proceeded to forget the entire thing until I went back and dream viewed it. Either way, MoSh was unable to give any more insight as to where we were or the purpose of this place. So I focused on sending a command to the computer to end the hologram playback, but nothing happened. I realized I don't think I have ever ended the hologram until the dream was completely over and the hologram ended because there was nothing more to display. I wondered how much longer this dream was, MoSh looked a bit impatient to get back, but there wasn't a lot I could do about that right now. I told MoSh I wasn't sure how to end the hologram, he didn't seem to think that was even possible, and the fact we weren't stuck there was proven when I woke.
    12. My first!

      by , 07-28-2010 at 05:35 AM
      I'm so excited-and p.o.ed. I have been trying to have a Lucid for about a week and on atempt 4 (1-3 were all failures), I had one! It was last night. I have a big 'A' written all over (on my mirror and hand, for example) so that when I see them, I do reality checks. Well because of this, I have been in the habit of doing the plugged-nose-breathing one really often, especially in bed. So I am in bed and decide that I should do one for funzies and don't you know, I was able to breath! I remember thinking loudly (if that's possible) "I'm Dreaming!" and then I woke up for reals.

      Special note: If you are reading this and you are a first timer having troubles, I would suggest trying the MILD method. The first 3 times I tried the WILD method with absolutely no progress (granted it was only 3 nights). The MILD worked the first time, even though it was for only a moment.

    14. 10 times in one night!

      by , 07-28-2010 at 04:39 AM
      My sleep schedule's been really fucked up lately. like i'll go to bed at 4 and wake up at 10 and go to bed at 4 again.... so when i came home last night i was so exhausted, i was out about 10 seconds after i hit the sack.

      ... and woke up naturally at 3am. What the hell?? I'd shorted myself maybe 20 hours of sleep that week and all i get is 5 fucking hours?

      Anyway, after having hobbled around the house for like an hour I went back to bed, and in my half-dream I was at a checkout counter with my mom, and suddenly I felt my whole body going numb one limb at a time. So I said "mom I'm fainting, help". Guess what she did? All she said was "oh ok", aloof and a little patronizing, and then she went back to paying the cashier. I remember thinking, "bitch, i'm fuckin fainting i'm gonna fall, why don't you do anything" (not really, i don't talk to my mom that way unless i'm PMDD'ing....no, not really.) and in my heated frustration I awoke.

      At first I thought, "shit, not again, I just want to sleep." and then I realized, the sensation I had just experienced was... dun dun dun,, SLEEP PARALYSIS. And after that all I had to do was lay still for 30 seconds and it'd happen again. and again. and again, maybe a dozen times, and each time i'd get so excited and bothered that the SP wasn't even able to progress to completion. In short, it never happened. Finally I got so fed up that I was just like, hey, fuck it, I gotta sleep. So i did.

    15. July 27th, 2010: Morning dreaming

      by , 07-28-2010 at 04:36 AM (LDHare's Dream Journal)
      This morning I woke up, and I was disappointed by my lack of dream recall from the night before. I know I had at least a few dreams but could only remember bits of one or two. I decided that since I was still somewhat tired, I would take another crack at it.

      I laid in bed and attempted to initiate a WILD which I have not successfully done yet. I tried looking for hypnagogic imagery but saw none. Long story short, I fell asleep and into a non-lucid dream. In this dream I was in an airport terminal. It was dimly lit and I remember a significant lavender hue to the setting. I was a bit chilly and as I looked around, I was surprised to see that many people were lounging about in sleeping bags and mummy bags. Some had tents pitched. Somehow, this did not strike me as strange in the least, perhaps as the result of a recent camping trip I'd been on in my waking life. I determined that these families had been holed up here as the result of flight cancellations. My logic was clearly off. Anyway, I settled down in a bed which had been provided for me; apparently I had also been the victim of flight cancellations. I remember seeing a pair of faded yellow jeans and liking them as I crawled under the covers of the large bed. Many other individuals were also in the bed, which for some reason did not concern me or make me feel strange. I remember seeing a family next to me. There was a strange looking father and I vaguely remember a wife and daughter.

      This is where the dream got interesting: As I fell asleep within this dream, I attempted what I thought would be a WILD. It was not, since I was already sleeping. This time it "worked" and I became momentary lucid, but without any control. In this dream I became a sort of camera, swooping over fantasy cities in the night. As I zoomed over one city, I located the town center which looked EXACTLY like the town centers from Age Of Empires II. I remember laughing in the dream.

      Eventually, the excitement brought on by lucidity sent me out of the dream and I woke in the dark lavender light of the terminal. Then, the strangeness of that dream struck me almost instantly and I woke in my room. The double awakening struck me as pretty cool. All in all, this excited me, even though I was only lucid for a short and uncontrolled period. I have had poor dream recall lately and also, I could not remember the last time I dreamed in color, so the purple of the airport terminal and the yellow of the jeans were good to see. I am excited to give all this another shot tonight!
