This isn't as vivid as my other dreams, mostly because I didn't remember it until after I'd woken up. I tried several WILDs, but none of them seemed to work. Anyway, here's the dream:

It was a sunny day, and I was warm in my grandparents' house (which, unlike places in my other dreams, actually looked like it does in real life). I remember walking into the porch, and seeing four sets of skis - one for me, one for each of my grandparents, and one for my little brother. We left the house, and outside the door was a ski slope.



We were about halfway up, so we needed to take a ski lift to get higher up. It was a very shallow slope (perhaps because my brother has never been skiing before?), and was very easy to do. I can remember turning and going from edge to edge as I went down.

That's where the dream ended.

I've been wanting to incubate a lucid skiing dream for a while now, ever since hearing that lucid dreaming can feel as realistic as the real thing, as well as reading that lucid dreams can act as practice in the real life. Unfortunately, this dream was not lucid. However, I now know that it is possible to incubate a dream, so V-WILD is sounding much more possible. I'll try V-WILDing tonight, and see how it goes.

Holiday (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Another HILD (Hangover-Induced Lucid Dream).

Recall is shabby. I had unwittingly inserted myself into a holiday scenario. I was walking downhill on a busy street with a bunch of friends. Strangely, it was a group of people who don't really interact in real life. People I was friends with, but who didn't all know each other. Everybody was in holiday gear- shorts, sunglasses, bikini tops, flip-flops etc. and the weather was warm. I walked at the head of the group, and although I didn't know where we were going, they all followed me. On the way down the street, I practiced some superpowers. Last night I had thought about trying to create electricity (and eventually lightning) from my hands, so I tried that. I opened and closed my fingers, and tiny blue-grey sparks flew between them. I could feel a tiny static shock with each spark. I turned round and poked a girl in the arm for a laugh. She yelped, then laughed. I showed off my new ability (babe magnet, this one) and the rest of the girls stopped to look as well. One took my hand and examined my bizarre fingers. There were a couple too many. She pulled one of the extraneous ones and I didn't feel it at first. But the more I concentrated on that finger, it became a working finger, and another became the odd, extra one.

Later on, we were going to a restaurant for dinner, like we did every night before hitting the town last summer. There was one dude with us who looked very much like a younger Paul Rudd. (from Anchorman, Friends, 40 yr old Virgin) The restaurant was a bit of a dump. All the tables and chairs were made of old, dirty wood, and there were too many of them for such a small place. The waitress came over and asked us to move tables. Paul Rudd got into an argument with her, and ended up telling her,
"You're like fourteen, who gives a fuck what you say?" She was very insulted, then a group of police officers threateningly told us to leave.
"Dude," I said to him as we were leaving.
"Whatever," he replied sullenly. He didn't seem to be in a friendly mood! Our gang began walking down the street again. I started talking to a hot girl who walked beside me. She told me she had been mountain climbing earlier, and pointed to the right, where I could see a mountain made of red rock. It looked like a romantic spot, so I took her in my arms and flew to the top. I had to get over some streets and houses to get there, and I had a bit of trouble maintaining any decent height. Flying up the mountain itself wasn't that hard. I kicked upwards off a rocky outcrop every time I lost momentum. Carrying the girl didn't exactly make it any easier though.



I had a strange false awakening. I was staying at a friend's house in real life, and I "woke up" in the same room I had gone to sleep in. But I didn't fully wake up. I saw the blurry outline of my friend Darren come into the room and approach me. He shook my shoulder to try and wake me up, but I couldn't move. I assumed I must still be in sleep paralysis. My entire body was numb. However, I was able to mumble to communicate.
"Dude, you're going to have to smack me in the face to wake me up, I can't move here," I mumble/whispered. I didn't hear his reponse, but I found I could move my hands, which lifted the sleep paralysis. I got up out of bed and stumbled round the room for a minute, before my mind stopped spinning and I stabilised myself.
"Whoa," I said, turning to Darren. "I was having one of those crazy lucid dreams I was telling you about!" Darren is one of the few people who knows about my hobby. I did a hand reality check, and realised I hadn't actually woken up at all! I sat down on the bed and promptly informed Darren that I was still asleep.

My recall seems to be getting better, I've been remembering at least 3 dreams a night although they seem to flow into each other and I do have to wake up between them to remember
Here are the 3 I remember from last night - the last one has a cool ending

1) In the early part of this dream someone I know becomes the head of his family like a maphia family only not into crime and not dangerous, it's set in the city i live. I'm driving around in a jeep, when I spot 2 people I know and go 4x4ing towards them. I get out and have a chat with them showing them the difflock on my new jeep which i acquired in my dream but can't remember how. Later I'm at my grandfathers funeral and my aunt and cousins are talking about how difficult it was to grow up with him because he was a difficult man. The dream is now set in the town where I grew up (huge DS right there) I get in an argument with my mom about how she's just climbing on the bandwagon and judging my grandfather unfairly (this is the second time a male ancestor has come up in 2 nights). To make my point stronger I tell my mom how my relationship with my dad isn't great and I end up getting furious and shouting how he hasn't hugged me in 10 years . The dream fades or I wake up.

2) I've been doing some training with young people (which is my line of work) in another city. I encourage them to start small groups and pair them up to do that. I have an argument with 2 of my friends who are the leaders of the group about my teaching style they say it's to unprepared, I'm saying that it's far more effective than their styles. Later we're indoors and there is a hive of huge bees (some-one else was dreaming about bees). My daughter is there and I tell her to stay away from the bees (this is related to me helping move my dads beehive the day before in RL and then hearing his bees left the hive and were in the tree in his garden). Later I go to bed and there is some weird sexual stuff going on (really weird), it involves no sensation for me but the DC is enjoying it.

Snippet this is either from this dream or the next one : I get fired at work and my friend sets the work computers to download a massive porn database, which will fill their harddrives and use up all their bandwidth. Later I feel guilty and ashamed about it and almost get caught for doing it.

3) My friend is riding my bike with me on the back except it's not DS bike like I've got it's a super-bike. We're riding through a rough area of an unknown town. He's riding pretty good. There are security guards and criminals guarding the entrances to different streets. He turns and speeds through an enclosed arean between buildings. As we exit a gang tries to stop us, He swerves around them at speed and continues. They run to try and head us off at the next turn, I tell him to carry on they'll never catch us but he stops and does a half donut and heads back the way we came, I realize that this is a good idea because they've run off to try intercept us. As we pass the area where they were we head towards a raised highway. There is an old man where the gang was holding a stick with a broken bottle taped to the end, we swerve around him and my friend suddenly stops, partly to let me drive and partly to speak to the old man. He approaches the old man cautiously talks to him and then comes running and jumps on the back of the bike. I take off really quickly and we're riding up this highway onramp that winds as it climbs higher. I overcook the fist turn and bump the curb, we continue to accelerate out of control and hit the next curb square on causing us to ramp off the edge. We nearly make it to another portion of the road but we miss. I realize that we are falling to our death, it feals awesome. I wake up long before impact.

Dream signs atarting to emerge (comment on these is you want) The town where I grew up, My bike (or lack of my bike)
I still don't feel close to realizing I'm in a dream and my only LD was still that FA - help please!!!
I also have a serious problem with excitement ( I can't fall asleep even in the middle of the night )

Awake Dream

So i have to hurry on this post, I won't put all the details down.

I'm in a biulding along with a blonde girl called Anne, Rachel and a guy who I don't know. We run along the passageway, we're on a mission. Anne works in the building but we're breaking in.

She gives me a card to use on doors but it doesn't work, so I'm scared when it fails. I still slip through the door and outside. Outside is near the sea, we hide behind a log. The boy kisses Rachel.

"I would kiss one of you, but i'm not a lesbian and you're not my type. Sorry" I say to them quietly. The guy and Rachel run into the water.

Anne and I see a man running toward us. They're after us. He's wearing a reflective yellow jacket like was builders wear. Anne grabs my hand and we run, but I feel heavy. I can't run very fast, so she drags me along. I see a plank of wood and pick it up, meaning to use it for later, but we opt for two sticks instead.

We keep running along a road, he's far away but getting closer. The next time I look I realise he's on a bike, so I stop and prepare to fight. He jumps off the bike, showing fanged teeth. I hit him a few times but it appears to do nothing.

Then my alarm woke me up. There was more going on than that but I needed to hurry!

library - I'm looking for a book on logic at the library where my friend Sara is apparently working. (should have RCd). I'm with Alphonse Elric, the giant suit of armor from Fullmetal Alchemist (should have RCd). We are antagonized by some strange robot, and I perform alchemy with a set of steel marbles. They go flying across the room at my will. I can recollect them with another action.

sammich race - I'm playing a videogame against a group of boys to win a delicious, delicious hoagie. I win and only have to pay tax.

Devil went down to Shaler - I'm a street near my house, and a vicious mentor is mediating a trumpet battle between me and a friend from high school. I am determined to show her that although we're both good, she's better than me at trumpet. She is convinced that I think I'm the best at everything, which makes us both mad.

South Park - I have a dream where I am sort of watching an episode of South Park from within the episode. Me and three other kids are playing some sort of game that Cartman is trying to ruin. Later, we try to take a kid to the dentist to have a strange robot removed from between his teeth. He doesn't want to go through with it, so we have to force him.

last one - I am driving to the pharmacy at which I used to work with my old boss and his son, who, for some reason, is acting quite rude and spoiled. I try to help him look for his prescription when we get there, but it's not ready yet.

On reflection, the version of the pharmacy is totally different in my dreams from real life. I should probably RC every time I go there or think about it.

Note: The first goal of the night was to get everyone together for training with Vegeta followed by getting on with the rest of the goals I have in a seemingly endless list. I was successful in slipping into a WILD…

I looked around to find myself in MoSh's inner world, in the usual place in front of his house. I thought I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye, but when I looked there was nothing there. I was peering into the shadows between the two houses across the street when I heard a familiar voice behind me, I turned to see MoSh standing there with Asuka beside him. Both of them were looking at me strangely, apparently MoSh had said something to me and I hadn't heard a word of it. MoSh repeated himself, asking me what I was looking at as he also peered into the shadows between the houses. I told him I thought I had seen something, but there was nothing there, so I must have imagined it. MoSh said it was probably one of the dogs that seem to roam the area, sometimes they seem to show up at odd times. I agreed to that possibility and opened a portal to get the three of us into my inner world near Vegeta's house.

When I stepped out of the portal I found Vegeta was standing outside looking up into the sky as if he was expecting something to happen. I went over to him and asked what was up there, he paused for a couple of minutes and said he was gone now. I asked who Vegeta was talking about, Vegeta said he had sensed a dark energy being entering my inner world, he had checked the energy frequency and found it to be Walms, but then Walms had left in a hurry. Vegeta didn't seem to think much of that, I wondered why Walms would come here and then leave so soon, he had probably woken up for his next FA. Vegeta was more interested in getting down to training before one or more of us ended up disappearing. I was thinking there was someone else I was supposed to meet with… Blake! I was supposed to find Blake in a dream, he said he'd be waiting in the biodome by the koi pond. I told Vegeta I'd be right back as I opened the portal and went through it before he could finish telling me to get my ass back there and train, I wouldn't improve by running off all the time.

I was in the biodome by the koi pond now, but it seemed my only company there was the fish and a few animals I could see hidden in the plants and flowers. I wandered around a bit as I wondered how long I should wait for Blake to show up and I came across the bread tree planted there by Loaf. I picked a warm loaf of cinnamon bread that seemed to have grown with butter already in it, pulled a large piece off of the loaf, and I started eating it as I headed towards the bench where I said I'd wait for Blake. I sat down on the bench and continued eating the bread, it was delicious, and I watched the fish.

I'd stay here and wait for Blake for a bit and then I'd head back to see Vegeta and continue training. I figured I would stay there until I finished my bread, and then I would check back later as well. As I was watching the fish and finishing my bread I felt like the dream was coming to an end. Since I thought that might be due to the fact I was doing nothing, I decided I had better get back to Vegeta and do some training to get the dream a bit more active. I opened a portal and passed through it to find Vegeta, MoSh, and Asuka in the middle of training.

Vegeta saw me right as I entered the area, I figured he had probably seen me coming before the portal had even opened, and he came over, he said it was about time I returned. He said MoSh had already tried to leave by waking up but that attempt had failed due to Vegeta's time dilation. MoSh said he hadn't been trying to wake up on purpose, Vegeta responded that he knew MoSh hadn't been deliberately trying to wake up, he said MoSh takes some things too seriously, then he added that there are things I don't take seriously enough… such as training. Vegeta was passing swords out to everyone in the training group, which I noticed consisted of MoSh, Asuka, Kanmuri, and myself. Wasn't there supposed to be someone else? Hadn't someone else asked me to bring him here? My inability to remember that detail was going to really bug me until I was able to remember. Vegeta asked me what I thought I was doing, apparently he noticed I was just standing there staring off into space, I had actually let the sword he had handed me drop from my grasp and it was lying on the ground. I wasn't really sure what to tell him since I couldn't remember much myself, so I just picked the sword up and didn't bother answering him. He gave me a bit of a dirty look but then continued with the lesson.

The lesson that followed was basically just a sequence of using our swords in sparring matches with the other students and one final sparring match where it was everyone in the class against Vegeta. Between each of the matches Vegeta and Serena were going around and noticing where we were doing well and where it was not so well, as well as showing us some new moves to try in the next match. Serena was the one who clearly knew more about the swordplay itself while Vegeta was noticing more things to do with speed, focus, keeping our defenses up as to not allow our opponent an opening… I did rather poorly in that area since I noticed my mind was still frequently wandering off to try to think of who I was supposed to bring to the training class.

"That's it!" I suddenly said in the middle of a training match against Kanmuri, "It's Mzzkc!"

"Raven!" Vegeta said from off to my left, "You might want to try paying attention to your opponent considering that if this was a real battle you would have just been relieved of your head! What is this about Mzzkc?"

I told Vegeta that I had just remembered who was missing from the training session, I had been intending to go get Mzzkc and bring him back to join in on the training. I was asking myself how I could have managed to forget that considering I had told Mzzkc I would do it, but now I had screwed that part up… but maybe I could still go find Mzzkc and bring him back, it wouldn't matter if I was in the dream much longer as long as I managed to get Mzzkc back here. Completely ignoring Vegeta I opened a portal while focusing on Mzzkc and went through it. Unfortunately, however, I didn't find my way to Mzzkc, the only thing I found was my way to waking up.

Well this is my first dream journal entry, I'm not going to use names, instead I will use abbreviations for privacy related reasons, so if you see just a letter or two that's someone I know in real life.

I dreamed that I was back in college (I'm British, so college, not university, I don't really know what the American counterpart is) studying Archaeology, even though I finished college at the beginning of the summer.

A relatively attractive blonde girl asked my name in my Archaeology class and I awkwardly showed her by pointing to it on a laminated sheet of names on the wall, for some reason I didn't ask hers. Me, E and her were the only people in the class, so we went to an early lunch where me and E saw M leave a room with a big white furry coat.

I then had an ICT/Computer lesson in a new large room with a new bald male teacher. He was examining a popular music essay of mine and S and J were in my class as well as JF. I talked with J about Macs and PCs but ended up comparing them to rice, or something strange like that.

We then went for lunch and I looked in my bag and found a lunchbox which I thought I had eaten in a lucid dream but still had food in (note that I haven't actually attained a lucid dream yet so I don't know where that came from). I then went out and saw JF and some of his friends and J and I acted strange and ate rice/cereal bars but got them everywhere. The new teacher sat on a radiator behinds us and I didn't notice him till they mentioned him.

#955:
Date: July 25th, 2010
Length: 4 minutes

I'm on my college campus (though it doesn't look anything like it does), and I walk into a building. After going up a few flights of stairs, I step into the office of some guy who's apparently in charge of student government. We are apparently friends, and after having some kind of serious discussion, we step out into a sort of lounge with couches where a bunch of other people gather. Everyone starts talking and fooling around, but I feel like I have no connection with any of them, and decide I shouldn't be here.

I walk out the building, and head towards an unknown destination. Along the way, I cross two gas stations that are really close to each other. At some point, in the distance I see a girl I knew many years back, and we wave to each other, as if we see each other every day or something. Eventually, night starts to fall, and I reach a sort of deserted train station. The walls are all very plain and grey, and there is basically nothing around me. I'm just passing through here, not actually getting on a train. I climb a small flight of stairs towards an exit door. However, at this point I'm carrying two large bags, and I can't seem to squeeze through the little door with both of them. I try and try, but just end up kind of stuck.

Soon, a train arrives right next to me (I don't think there even were any tracks, it's like a train just appeared in a small room that was next to me), and a bunch of people walk out. They're trying to get past me to go down the stairs, but I'm blocking their way. After a long time, I think I finally get through the door and back out into the street.



Besides that, I had a dream where my mom came to see my roommate and I, and thought we looked very depressed and though something was really wrong with us, though nothing was. She said she wanted to take us to a sushi bar.

Also had a dream where I started living in a kind of abandoned (but luxurious) house. Two friends came to visit me, and then there was some kind of music video being filmed involving lots of women.

Looking to get back into things in the holidays.

This was the first lick of lucidity I've had this year; it wasn't planned.

I had been doing something in the building near the roadway of my old primary school. I remember thinking I it was boring and stepped outside onto the concrete. It was night but the sky was a weird dusty-brown cross purple swirl; like a twilight desert in the sky. Not knowing what I wanted I saw it and decided I would fly off to somewhere more interesting. Sometimes this sort of spontaneous flying away fails on me, but this time it worked fine, as I gained height however I became more aware of RL and while not wanting to wake still woke up.

It has motivated me to get back into my dream journaling.

Classic Robot Wars
A good team of transformer robots/technoman suited men were battling each other, medieval style. The fight started out on horses that seriously should not have been able to support that much metal, but nevertheless got some good speeds going. The machines would charge each other and take swings at each other as they past in a duel like fashion.
The leader of the robots I affiliated with eventually jumped to the his feet and performed a charging roll into the air, ripping his opponent in half with a razor blade/sword attached to his arm.
Here everything started becoming more modern and about a dozen both good and bad robots poured out of nowhere to start brawling with each other. The leader was stacked 3 vs 1 but tanked them all hardcore and killed them all.
Pushing forward through the grassy battlefield, big flaming projectiles were flying into the melee from what initially appeared to be a catapult. The evil robots were soon dispatched of but this artillery kept firing and was becoming increasingly accurate and powerful.
Rushing to stop it, the leader and his second in command discovered a huge yellow and silver robot back over the hillside. It stood easily 6 times their height; like something from an Armored Core game. It continued to fire down at the two machine-men but was slow to reload and seemed incapable of movement. It also didn't seem concerned for its own safety as the two smaller mechs climbed it and tried to hack pieces off of it.
Upon reaching the torso area, they found an access hatch/switch which they activated. It opened the whole chest cavity and inside was another, normal sized unpolished silver robot. It carried some controls that obviously controlled the big yellow machine. He tried to escape but was easily cut down.
The controls to the giant AC were destroyed deliberately and it was dismantled.

The Next Techno Man
Hundreds of thousands of humans were working in an insanely massive subterranean cave doing some kind of mining/excavation. All of the people I saw were women, probably because their huge alien overlords wanted them segregated; there was some taboo on human breeding. In the centre of the whole cavern that seemed to drop down endlessly into the earth spiraled the mother of all aliens. It was in complete control over all other life on the planet and cared not for the life of its human slaves.
All of the people I saw up close were women that wore a pink and blue tightly fitting uniform. At some point here everything turned into old anime styling visually.
The main character that I was following had apparently been hiding a baby she had had and was about to get found out for it. She asked her best friend to take the baby boy and escape with him to a safe location. As soon as the baby was out of sight, the huge overlord alien was informed of the child's existence and began somehow yelling at everyone that "Whoever has done this will be found and dealt with!" which pretty much meant they were killed. It extended an arm-like tentacle out toward random miners and as it turned to pass over the women who was to blame it grabbed her. The tentacle split and sprouted out numerous other tentacles that clung to her and also kept searching around the cave walls and tunnels behind her.
Knowing it had found the right women, the alien didn't kill her immediately but instead began crushing her alive, slowly, so that she would tell it where the baby had gone.
I don't think so told it, she just let herself die for the child's sake.
The child had to escape for there to be any hope for the other humans and the mother somehow knew this through an ancient prophecy. He would eventually return to his birthplace and save his family/humans from their enslavement.

Been sleeping really well lately and my dream count, vividness and recall are all improving as a result.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to get anything down this morning so most was lost.

Frag
Walking through a mildly altered version of the botanic gardens I had some kind of dream memory that it was Monday. That, combined with the fact that I did not remember travelling to where I was now (there was a lot of other dreams before this) made me question my surroundings.
I immediately knew it was a dream. I didn't feel in great control and I haven't gone lucid in a while now so I wanted to do something fun before I lost it altogether. I jumped off a rock and began flying in low over the rockflowing creek next to the path. My instability in the dream was making an unnatural darkness descend but I didn't mind. I decided I wanted some supernatural fun while I could and brought out my favourite dream power, lightning.
I was casually letting electricity ripple and spark out of my left hand as I cruised along through the air. I was letting it snap to the water below me as I flew and loved the contrasting electric blue glow in the darkness (3rd person view).
Really not wanting to let it go so early I landed and went to RC because I promise myself that every time I get lucid I will attempt to ground myself as much as possible in order to maintain control. The finger through the palm worked exactly as it does and the familiar (but long missed) sensation of my index finger in my palm came back to me.
The unnatural darkness unfortunately was diminishing my vision and I must have begun to wake up. I had the great idea of opening my dream eyes properly which pretty much involved me opening my RL eyes and waking up completely.
Oh well, there wasn't much left in the dream anyway.

Waiting for my school bus at my regular spot I was with at least one other friend. In front of us at the roadside were three girls from a different school. A couple of buses came passed which was weird because normally its just ours. When it came we briefly checked with the driver that it wasn't ours and went back to relaxing on the wall we had been sitting on.
At some point later I was on the bus and it was pretty full. I was moving up and down it talking to people and everything was really fun and friendly. At an intersection the bus stopped and I was standing next to S. I turned to her and told her that I had had a dream about her last night (see above; although here my memory of it was different) and she said how cool that was. She was in a really bubbly mood and gave me a really nice, friendly hug.

Reload that Thought
At my primary school's hall/stage area with the extra stage area setup to give us performers the most room possible while we practiced for our Rocka performance. Everyone had been on holidays for a while and really needed to put in a few good hours to get back into sync and up to scratch to perform in a few days time.
I had a unique role at the beginning which wasn't hard or very long but I really needed to nail it. Unfortunately my partner wasn't around and I couldn't, for the life of me, remember the movements. I started to freak out that I would screw it all up.
I knew a couple of the moves though so I went out the back stage entrance door to practice outside. Outside appeared to be a sort of park area with wooden benches and tables scattered around the grassy area. There were also other school buildings that are unfamiliar to me lining the area snugly.
N was with a bunch of other girls who were sitting around, practicing spins and some other Spanish moves. This encouraged me to do my own practice and not bother about others watching me because I knew I could do it all properly.
In going outside I pulled out a black, really sleek, sliding pocket computer because I wanted to be able to play the music track I was practicing for.
I told it to copy the files off another remote computer but when it got to playing it only had one of the other tracks. L was part of a small group of us performers which also included S and T and backstage crew and she told me to reload some piece of hardware. I did and all the tracks loaded perfectly.
I knew I should have done some training but I also wanted to hangout with this group of friends in the sun while we could, so I compromised to listen to the music while we hung around (better than nothing).
