[Dream 1 (lucid): Hotel Room] Woke up in a hotel room with my mother. There was a digital clock on the night-stand, didn't bother to look at the time. Put on my wristwatch and immediately noticed that the upper hour markings (10, 11, 12, 1, 2) were missing. Reached lucidity at this point (DILD). Panicked and ran to the bathroom. I remember rising quickly up through the ceiling and the dream ended. [Dream 2a (non-lucid): Unknown House (exterior, night); Unknown House (interior, day)] Was at someone's house, there were two girls who I didn't know having dinner by a ledge overlooking the city (LA?). Went to sit down with them but somehow ended up in the interior of a house with a few of my friends. I was tired so I lied down on a couch and went to take a nap with the intent to have lucid dream. [Dream 2b (lucid): Unknown House (interior, day); Elevator; Courtyard (exterior, day)] Woke up on the same couch as in Dream 2a. My friends A.L. and S.V. woke me up to play SSFIV. I went to play but got frustrated when we booted up the game and it was some unknown, old version of the game that I didn't know how to play. I checked the video game box and it was the correct game, but every time we booted the system, it would play a strange unknown version of the game with inferior graphics. I started to take note of this as something unusual, but did not think anything of it. We stopped playing and stepped out into an old elevator with manual doors. I checked my watch for the time, the top markings were missing again - came to the realization that I was lucid (DILD). I remembered everything I had read on the forums about LDs and RCs. I remember someone mentioned that you can check if you are really in a dream by trying to go through a wall. As soon as I exited the elevator, I threw myself at a wall and hit my shoulder - it hurt! I walked out into the courtyard that had a few people in it. It was sunny and there were a few benches around those square gardens in the middle of a path. At this point, I remembered another theory about LD that I had read on the forums. Someone suggested that you could imagine that there was a pill in your pocket. You could assign this pill to do anything you want, and it would happen. I reached into my pocket and there was a liquid capsule (like a fish oil pill), except it was bent and soft from the heat in my pocket. I came up with the idea that this pill would make my dream more vivid and that it would last for a few more hours. I took the pill with no water and I had a hard time getting it down as it almost stopped in my throat. After I swallowed it, nothing changed. I looked around at some people's faces, there was an Asian woman talking to a blonde woman sitting on a bench. They looked my way and the dream faded. [Dream 3 (non-lucid): Beach in Rio (exterior, dusk)] Was in an unpopulated beach. For some reason, someone wanted me to gather oil samples from the nearby oil rigs. I swam out into the water with a towel to grab a sample from a nearby rig. The rig turned out to be very small when I got close to it, maybe the size of a car. There was an Asian man on top of it, I talked to him but don't remember what about. I was yanked out of the dream because of a vacuum IWL.
I was browsing the dreamviews forum, I noticed there was a new announcement, so I clicked on it, It was about the "New dreamviews game system" I thought, "Oh no, is dreamviews stealing flash games now too?" I skimmed through the 3 post long announcement and saw a bunch of Korean mmos under "supported games" side note someone should make a fun game that prompts you to reality check at random times while playing.
This was my first attempt at lucid dreaming. Based on the experience of others I didn't expect results for at least a month. That's why I was surprised not only to recall my last dream with amazing clarity but also to achieve partial lucidity; though I had no memory of my previous dreams. I'm in a hotel room with my family and though no mention was made I knew we were just outside the campus of UVA. I decide to walk outside and explore the campus, it quickly changed from night to day. I take a look at a building then look away, when I turn back to it I see that it has been demolished and that a new building was being built in it's place. I think to myself that this was odd, but I continue on. As I enter the campus I see a big banner advertising some event. I try to use this as a dream cue, but the sign did not change. This furthered my belief that this was reality. I walked through the buildings and watched a class on botany. I saw some of my friends who attend UVA there. I continue to walk around the campus and admire all the Gothic buildings. I realize that this school does not use Gothic architecture and become semi-lucid. Because of this I decide to sneak inside the sports stadium and enter the locker rooms. When I open the door the room is actually a big expanse of caves and tunnels. As I walk down the tunnels I remember that I had a piece of paper in my hand the previous night and reach in my pocket to look at it. At first it has my name on it, but when I look away and look back it has become a random assortment of letters. I now know for a fact that I'm dreaming. Because of this my vision starts to fade to white, I spin in place to try to remain dreaming, it works. I imagine that a beautiful woman is around the corner. When I turn she is there and starts to talk. As the conversation moves on I become more distracted and eventually lose lucidity. The moment I do I lose control of the dream. She takes off her wig and her mask it turns out she was an undercover agent and this was all a sting. A swat team appears behind me and states that I am being arrested for violating some law against nature. When they grab me I awake.

20.07.2010My car is trespassed and stolen. (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I went to bed pretty tired from work. I had a small argument with my wife about her job (which is a daily issue for the both of us) However, I recorded four dreams. Fourth: I was exiting from somewhere that was located in downtown. I walked towards my car and there was a guy inside. Inside my car, in the companion's sit there was like a card reader or something. This guy removed a card that was placed there and punched his card. I knew that he was using an illegal card and it got recorded in my device. I was worried it was me who was going to face the consequences. I jumped in my car and asked this guy what was going on. I also told him I was going to call the police. He begged me to not call the police and said that he needed to do something with his card and asked me for forgiveness. I was annoyed because he messed up my device so we got out of my car and we went to a place were they took care of these devices. There were a couple of DC waiting, but our turn came fast. I started to talk fast and inform the employee what was going on. She was female. This guy started to talk over me and started to cry. The lady felt sorry for him. He said that he needed money, that he was all broke and he could not even use his own card. He asked for a $80 advance. The lady granted his request. I also saw this lady placing inside this guy's car a couple of huge bags (as big as a gold bag) of olives in the back seat of his car. I was annoyed because no one was taking care of my complaints against this guy. I did not see my car outside so I was worried he would steal it or something. I walked up and down the street and I was not able to find my car. No one of the cars parked there was close to mine. I entered this place again and asked the same employee to help me out. She agreed. We started to look for my car. She told me she was not supposed to be out in the street. She told me she could be threatened by unhappy customers. I told her I would protect her. We could not find my car and we got to the end of the street. There was a park were a few not so nice people use to meet. She told me she was not going to that park so she turned around. I did not recall parking in that park, however, I checked. I saw a car that was getting towed, but instead of a tow truck, was a trash truck. The car was almost inside the container. I noticed the stickers. It was my car! I requested them to pull it down. One of the guys asked me if my car was using unleaded gas. I told him, "Of course. It's a 2007! What question is that?" He pulled down my car when suddenly I notice it was not. I said, "Damn this car... same stickers but is not mine." It was all black and it was a Chrysler, not a Chevrolet. I told him, "This one, this one, this one... all the same!" Get rid of it!!!! I left very annoyed because my car was stolen. I wanted to call the police but first I decided to go once more to the place were the lady was working. The line was bigger and I had to wait. It was my turn and I saw the interior. There were several office with a lot of computers and different employees. I was hopping the same lady would assist me. I was planning to allow the next one in line to pass if other employee offered assistance. While I was waiting I noticed TVs and movies inside this place. A guy told me, "Meh, they only speak English now. That is because it is summer for sure." Missed dream sings: - A guy inside my car, and the car was not damaged. - That device. - The act of forgiveness to the criminal. - The ridiculously sized bag of olives. - The trash truck. - A car with the same stickers. What I would have done if lucid: - End the criminal's misery. - Head for a ToTY.
Oh yeah i forgot i had a deamviews account maybe i should attempt lucid dreams again...Wait, WHERE DID ALL MY DREAM JOURNAL POSTS GO!!! Guess thats what i get for being inactive for so long but college will do that to you. Thought about attempting lucid dreaming again on the way back from my grandparents house for the 4th of july. I was sleeping while my brother was driving and something caused me to wake up but still be in sleep paralysis and i thought to myself "hey i could try and attempt entering a dream from here" but of course i failed. So back to entering DJ's again, here goes: 7/18 Tried taking 1000MG of fish oil before bed to try and help my dismall recall but in the end when i woke up i couldn't remember a single dream. 7/19 Did some research and decided that maybe keeping up with a daily 5-HTP supplement might work better for me, some say it helps dream vividness and thats one of the major things that helps me remember dreams. And it worked! Still only remembered one dream and even then it was only a partial bit. In the dream one of my former classmates from highschool gave me this weird looking brown chihuahua dog with ears that were on the direct top of its head, one behind the other. I guess i left the shop we were at (apparently) but for some reason i didn't have the dog anymore where upon leaving another one of my former classmates drove up in a huge black truck with huge tires on it and walked out with my old middle school biology teacher who i guess was in the passenger seat? its wild weird stuff like that that i enjoy exploring my dreams so much but still no lucids to this date
20.07.2010Poisonous burger and the party. (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I went to bed pretty tired from work. I had a small argument with my wife about her job (which is a daily issue for the both of us) However, I recorded four dreams. Third: I was in a small restaurant at night. I was with a female DC and we were going to eat a burger. We though it was poisoned but I somehow knew that nothing was going to happen to me. We ate the burger and it was fine. After, we left together. There was going to be a birthday party so I bough a 24 pack of Coronita beer. I was excited because we were going to train our spychic abilities in this party. I could not wait for it. I missed a portion here. I was like inside a shower. I had to do some tricks inside the shower or cook something, I am unsure. The fauced was very weird and it spilled water both inside and outside the tub. I could see a restaurant from the shower and a couple of menus. There were two DC waiting for something. I could see two gray menus and one digital menu. They had like a lot of soaps, green teas and other stuff. One of this guys left. Missed dream signs: - Eating a poisonous burger (near miss lucidity) What I would have done if lucid: - Probably head for a ToTY.

I had a relatively boring dream last night about test scores?!?!? (7.20.10) I remember being anxious about how I had done on a test compared to my other classmates. The test is a real test that I have already taken and gotten back the scores for, which were relatively good. I remember driving in the car with my teacher and one of my classmates (actually an old girlfriend of mine that has appeared in several of my other dreams (dream sign?!?!?). Anyhow, she scored better on the test than me. Which didn't surprise me because she is a bit of a nerd. I then remember running and training for soccer with one of my best friends. He is also in my class but for some reason I couldn't find out what he scored on the test. The rest of the dream was fragmented and included flashes of my other classmates and their scores.
20.07.2010Cosmic Fragments (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I went to bed pretty tired from work. I had a small argument with my wife about her job (which is a daily issue for the both of us) However, I recorded four dreams. First: - Space. - Astral Projection. - Gifted. - Lady - The lady was the only DC. - A big grocery store. - Chakras. - Lottery. - Wife 20 mins before. Written also in my DJ: Acer, date, estal, wisa dom. No idea what the hell is this. Missed dream signs: - Unknown. What I would have done if lucid: - Have a deep conversation with this lady.
I had one dream where I was lucid for a brief moment. I can't remember where I was, but I tried to change the dream scene. I spun around and saw a blue light in front of me, but then I woke up. In the next dream I was at TR with my class. I was running down some random road. It felt good to run. I was surprised that I was holding out so well. The rest of the class was running with me. We approached this gate near the end that led to a bunch of baseball diamonds and tennis courts. KA was there too. When I ran alone, I struggled, but when she was beside me I was able to run freely. It reminded me of something I read about people being able to tolerate exercise more when with friends. Then I was briefly in some sort of tent or something with a group of people. Apparently there was some cake making contest. We had to make a rabbit with 7 ears. I accidently made 2 extra. Then I started making a bracelet, and Mr. B. got mad. I made some smart remark back. Then I was in some random foresty area. It reminded me of the Night Elf forest from WoW. For some reason I had to kill these cats (wtf?). I stabbed them with an arrow or something as they passed by. I felt horrible. Why did I have to do this? I was so confused. Then I was at HP with my mom. We sat down at some table to eat with some of her friends from work. She ordered a poutine for us. I was about to eat it. Then the guy to my left randomly asked me if I wanted to see my deceased grandparents. I said I did and he told me to stand up. I didn't really believe that he could do it, but just the thought of them made me sad. Then he "showed" me this scene of my grandparents in some sort of school; apparently in this after life they went to some advanced school. I watched them as they had to do a multiplication table, with a number for each second on the clock. Then the bell rang. They rushed off to lunch like there was no tomorrow. It ended there.
Emergency Flying (dild) I don't remember the beginner much. I was in some sort of basement arena and BroY and I got into a fight. He started chasing me with a powertool and I took off running like a bat out of hell. I ran upstairs into my kitchen and out the back door. The handle was also a power tool tapped on the door. I realized I must be dreaming and that switch from in emotion is very powerful. I jump onto the fence and onto a another stone fence. I jump to fly but begin to fall. I use super strength to grab the fence midfall, and throw myself into the air. I fly higher and higher, over the house. "Come get me now, bitch! Ahaha!" I yell excited. "Come get me now bitch!" again. I think of my goals, my neighbor, my dreamguide, but just want to enjoy flying. I notice the sky looks like a storm is approaching. Dark blue with purple swirls. I then wake up. Frags: 1. I took a CnG which always seems to give me, at least, vivid and weird dreams. In this one, I sort of fainted or something. I couldn't really control my own body. D had me propped up on his shoulder and helping me move around. There were aliens (dream guides?) and they said something about how we are all isolated, each inside our own mind and universe.
A lot of last night's dreams were lost when my mother woke me up to tell me something, but the dreams that followed were somewhat based on the one's that came before, so I was able to sort of connect them in a way. I still wasn't totally lucid, but I'm starting to realize that that's because even when I'm getting close to lucidity I don't do anything to confirm for myself that it's a dream, so I just go along with the changing dreamscape. To start, I was in an RV with some people. I know other people were there, but I don't know who and I especially don't know the man who was driving. Our destination was this really tall tower with a spiral ramp up it that we had to go around to get to the top. At the very top there was a section where the driver had to bank hard, thus hooking the front wheels on a really strong cable, although the rest of the vehicle hung vertically down the side of the tower. I don't remember how I got out of the RV, but I do remember looking down on it and wondering how we were going to get it up to the top of the tower. There was some heaving involved, but somehow we were literally able to pull it up through sheer manpower, which is one sign that I was dreaming that I didn't listen to. I think there were some things that went on after that, but I don't really remember what they were. The next thing I remember is running into my girlfriend, which was unusual because she hadn't come with me in the RV I came in. She was with another guy, so in this dream I guess she was my ex-girlfriend. He seemed like a jackass, but that's only because I really really didn't like him in the dream. The odd thing was she started kissing me right in front of him while explaining why we couldn't be together. I didn't argue, but it was obviously confusing, haha. As I walked away I think I was close to being lucid, because I remember so vividly that I intentionally looked back at her new boyfriend and said very sarcastically and patronizingly, "See ya later, champ." For whatever reason I also remember seeing one of my ex-girlfriends from a long time ago there with a new dude as well, but I didn't talk to her at all. The next part was weird because I don't remember much other than being in what I think was the basement of the tower and being sort of afraid. I don't remember what happened down there, but I know something did. The scene then jumped to a grocery store. I had already bought groceries, and for some reason they had this rectangular glass case full of video games that you could rent. By the case there was this little pad where you would click on the console of the game you were looking for then browse for that game, so I picked up Diddy Kong Racing for the N64 for $5.00 (why they were renting out N64 games in the year 2010 I have no idea--that's the other dreamsign I should have picked up on). I remember wanting to get another game too, but the weird part was it was more than just wanting--I NEEDED that other game. I don't know what game it was or what I needed it for, but it contained something that for one reason or another I had to have. It was even that I had like an obsession over the game...something about it was just vital to me. So I went for the pad to find it, but the pad had converted itself into a credit card swiper, and a woman was using it to purchase her groceries. I had grabbed the pen to use it but she needed it to sign her name on the electronic screen, so I gave it to her. She apologized profusely for whatever reason, but I said, "Oh no, don't worry about it at all." She smiled, signed, then took her groceries and left. At that point I was about to get my other game when my nine-year-old sister busted through the front door with some of my other siblings saying my mom wanted me. I angrily picked up my grocery bags, which were heavier than I expected, and stormed out of the store, throwing them in the back of the car. I think I was still irritable from earlier when I'd realized my girlfriend had a new dude, and my mom explained that I needed to be home to help my dad build something, which pissed me off even more. That's about when I woke up.

July 20, 2010 Slept between 2am-9:30am 2a-4:30a Woke up an hour before my scheduled WBTB, really needing the washroom Did not recall any dreams. I went to the couch and got comfy, but then I thought that maybe I should try to WILD from bed today. Jack and I had a bit of a fight last night (more like me bitching at him ). I heard my lucid weaver 90 mins later for the WILD. I rolled over and tried to think about the music I used for my anchor yesterday, but I passed out! I think my bed is too comfy for WILDing 4:30a-8a Hungry like a wolf There was an odd little bit where I was thinking about my failed WILD attempt in the back of my head throughout this dream. I was at work and very, very hungry. I was working an 8a-8pm shift and only had a bagel with cream cheese my entire shift. One of the cleaners (who, IRL, does manage a restaurant) offered to make me something (we have a bistro in the basement). I was grateful, but he forgot about his offer and never made me any food. Petra (co-worker/shift relief) came in and asked me if it was okay to do some shopping. I looked at the time and realized she was already 8 minutes late. I told her no, and she looked crestfallen. [Flintstone's plane?] I'm sitting in the backseat of a plane and my feet are hanging out the bottom. I have them held up, because we're flying VERY close to the grass. It's tall grass, mind, about 3 feet. But, we were skimming the tops of it! It grew darker outside and we passed over these tiny houses, made of felt. They were the size of dog houses, but I was told people live in them. As we kept passing over, more houses were covered in cotton. I was told it was for insulation. We reached the field clearing at the end. Petra said, "Let's build our mansion here!" I got a visual of a Sims-like grid and the wall tool (hehe). I replied, "Isn't that kind of insulting? Building a nice mansion RIGHT NEXT to these poor people? I don't think we should build here." 8a-9:30a Jack's alarm woke me, but I passed out again. [Elevator] I found myself in this elevator, just reaching the ground floor. I held the door open for these tons of little kids. I helped ensure everyone was on and not about to get smushed by the closing door before I let it shut. [Lucid House] I recognize the feeling of weightlessness quite randomly, but I don't clue in that it's a dream. I explain to myself that this is a house that produces feelings of lucidity. I push off the ground and I'm floating. This house is really cool! For some reason, I start floating around the room (I'm in a kitchen) singing Taylor Swift's "You Belong to Me." I think again about the lucidity in this house and I finally realize the absurdity at what I'm doing I see a glass door (one of those slidey patio doors) near me. "I've never tried to go through glass before, I wonder if I can do it?" I thought. I drifted towards the glass to go through it, but my forehead went thump! against it. The glass felt cold and I felt the bump, but it didn't hurt. I walked back to the other side of the room (which was now entirely empty, by the way) and braced myself to run for it. I quickly shot through my mind, "What if this destabilizes the dream? What if it doesn't work? Oh well, I'll give it this shot, and if it doesn't, then I'll go do something else." I ran at the glass, and I felt it give way around me! I slowed wayyyy down. The glass felt like cold, but quite viscous slime as it slid around my body. I was afraid I was going to be stuck like this, but I willed myself through the glass, and came out the other side with a POP! That was a really cool experience! I was in the backyard. "Danny?" I said, out loud, calling out to my DG. He appeared out of nowhere. I was suddenly overcome with this really strong desire to hug him, so I threw my arms around him. He was surprised, but said, "Hey!" to me, with a laughter in his voice. I marveled at how real this hug felt, but even still, I felt the dream sliding away. I looked up at him. "Can you come into my regular dreams and tell me I'm dreaming?" I asked, quickly. He smiled at me, "Sure, I can." I went back to hugging him as I "woke up." [False awakening] I "woke up" next to Jack. We were sleeping in a tent in a backyard. I checked my watch. It was only 7:20 in the morning, but I was so excited about the lucid dream I had, that I wanted to blog it right away! I went inside the house. The kitchen was a disaster. I found a plate of half-eaten waffles. I didn't fancy eating those, but I did see a large mixing bowl with mal-formed, but uneaten waffles in there. I grabbed a handful's worth and stuffed it in my mouth. They were all syrupy, buttery and insanely yummy. [Same FA, but scene jump] I was lying down on a long couch. Jack's mum was reading a book at the end of it. She says to our DC-host (the house owner), "I love coming to your house. It's like Christmas every time!" "Mm-hmm!" I agree. "What part of it did you not like?" Jack's mum asked me, mis-hearing me. "I didn't say that, I was agreeing with an mm-hmm," I explained. I woke up for real.
One: I'm working at Target. Stacking liquor bottles into a pyramid shape in the middle of an aisle of other alcohol products. They might be champagne bottles because the tops of the bottles are wrapped up in foil. I guess my supervisor came by and said I was doing it wrong. Well, no one really told me where to put these bottles anyway. My supervisor tells me to look out the window at the fireworks for the Washington Redskins vs. Baltimore Ravens game. So now I'm in a hotel room on one of the top floors looking out the window. I see a ferris wheel and what looks like a state fair or something. But my supervisor was right, there are tons of fireworks going off... but no football game. Next thing I know I'm at that fair. I sign up to play a game and I think my sister's with me. The game is like this: a post in the middle of the ground, and everyone has to attach a string to it and walk around in a circle holding their string. I have no idea what the object of this game is or how you win. And it doesn't matter because as soon as I start walking around, my string breaks. With me there were eight people playing this game, and I crawl underneath the other strings to try to tie my string back together because it broke near the post. Now I can't get back out because of the other people playing the game. I have no idea how I got out, but the next thing I know, I'm by a pond and someone is chasing miniature frogs out of the tall grass around the pond into the pond. I decide to help and end up slipping on the wet grass and falling right on my ass onto a frog. I then fell into the pond, which was only knee deep. I felt like I needed to get out of there before I killed anymore frogs. Two: Something about a broken water slide at a water park. Three: I'm performing in a skit or show or something at school or in an auditorium. I get yelled at for doing my part wrong. Everyone had big stuffed animals almost person-sized and they were dogs. We were all acting like cats trying to convince the dogs to have sex with us. Then we were all lined up in a hallway watching a skit on tv that I think we're supposed to mimic. Me and the girl next to me are trying to keep up with what's going on on the tv and then realize no one else is acting out the moves. Some girl walks by and says that the two "yogurt girls" on the end can't be in the show anymore. So the girl next to me and I look at each other so confused because we didn't know what we did wrong. Next thing I know everyone's out in like a courtyard with picnic tables and this guy comes up to me and asks the other yogurt girl if she was ok with him having the same partner as last year. He's wearing roller skates, and so are a lot of other people in the courtyard. She says that's fine and he grabs me around the waist and spins me around and we start going in the other direction. Then she comes up from behind and asks, "what about your class ring?" to the guy. And he said he found it in the trash at home. Then something happens behind us and there's like a fight about to break out. This guy hands me his GPS because he's planning a getaway and he thinks his GPS has a tracking system in it. It is now that I realize that I am wearing only socks and I ask the people around me if I should go put some shoes on.
