Black = AwakeBlue = LucidRed = Dream

Location: Global class at school

The dream started off with my global teacher handing out a packet that we hand to finish by the end of class, which was on a movie we were watching. I asked if I could go to the bathroom and she said, "Sure, just sign out," so I did and proceeded to the bathroom. The dream then skipped ahead about 30 minutes and when I came back I was the only one in the classroom. I sat in the desk next to her desk (which is where it was at the beginning of the semester) and started talking to her while drinking a bottle of soda i had apparently bought. We had a little bit of mindless conversation which i don't quite remember the details of, but she then asked me, "Shouldn't you finish you packet?" So i responded, "Oh yeah, I forgot about that."

So, before I went back to my seat, I bought a 100 calorie pack of wheat things from a vending machine that was apparently on her desk. I walked over to my desk on the opposite side of the room, where it is currently in waking life. I sat down, and started watching the movie. For some reason it was about a group of 4 or 5 people who were entering a rap competition, which was weird because I personally hate rap. After watching it for a minute or two, I opened my wheat thins and noticed there was much less than usual. This made me kind of annoyed so I grabbed one and ate it. The thing is, it tasted exactly like it did in real life, so I didn't really have a chance to become lucid I looked back at the movie and noticed that the 4 rappers were in a bathroom stall for some reason just talking in private. I turns out that their heads were replaced by the little graham sandwiches you can get. They were all yelling, "What happened!?" "Why is my head a graham cracker!?" Which, at this point, I woke up.


Wheat Thins ^^

I was in this big room kind of like the first room of the "Nacht der Untoten" Nazi Zombies map on Call of Duty World at War. And instead of zombies coming, it was spiders. I think there was someone else with me, and we were kicking spider butt.

I woke up, I sat there on my bed, I couldn't be bothered doing anything, so I went back to sleep.

The moment I fell asleep I was in a dream and I said to myself, "I think I will just have a regular dream", then I said to myself "hell naw, if this a dream, I want to be lucid", and of course I had realised I was dreaming.
But, as I said that, my dream slowly faded away, I started to feel my real body again, I was panicking at this point, which didn't help.
Then after a good few seconds I was awake, I was quite annoyed, so I lay there, not moving, picturing that dream scene in my head and telling myself I will keep awareness. And I slowly came into a dream (lucid) I could see everything was back the way it was. But, I felt my real body again, I could feel the really uncomfortable heat of the sun coming through my window. And the dream slowly faded away again, this time it was like object by object, rather than the full thing fading away.
And I woke up, I did the whole DEILD thing again, and I saw my dream scene again then woke up.

This happened a couple of times before I realised it is pointless, because that sun was just making it so unbearably uncomfortable, it just woke me up every time.

So I just left it.

This was my most concerted effort to lucid dream yet. Lots of reality check drilling during the day, tried to MILD at bed time and again after waking up once. Then I did a WBTB and tried to WILD but had issues getting to SP (close though I think.)

Anyway, it's a little frustrating, but there you go.

Dream 1 - Noir

I wasn't able to remember many details, which was frustrating. The imagery I do recall was interesting. There was a film noir vibe to the locations and people at points.

I was in an office. I think I was a journalist of some kind ( c ). There was a woman. Somehow I was able to get her a job there.

Earlier I had also given her a place to stay in what I think was an apartment I lived in.

I remember she was looking for someone. I remember giving her advice, but I'm not sure what about.

At some point there was a street. I recongnise it from the city where I live. I feel like I'm in an American city though, perhaps New York ( c ).

For reference, I live in the UK.

Dream 2 - The Man

Nothing but a brief flash upon waking up, but this is what I gleaned from it.

I was sitting face to face with someone. We were talking, but I have no idea what about. There was nothing around us but either black or white, but I can't remember which -- it might have been both or either, it's really weird ( c,f ).

I vaguely recall that I thought the person was wise or knowledgeable in some way. My mind is telling me the person looked like the character John Locke from Lost, but for some reason I'm not 100% convinced as I seem to also remember white hair extremely vaguely ( c ).

I'm wondering now if this was another dream about dreaming like I had the other night. Something about the scene, albeit the tiny fragment I remember, is really dream scene in a movie cliché to me.

First off, I ended up not doing a nap WILD. But I aim to at some point when I get the chance.

I remember a dream where I was on the computer (surprise surprise) and I went on the game "Runes of Magic" and it seemed normal, and I would not have known it was a dream at all right now, had I not gone on this game after I woke up, I played the game and noticed something that wasn't there any more. And I then remembered, the time when I got that thing that isn't there any more, I was in a dream. (p.s. that thing I am referring to is a diamond)

-------------------------------

The last dream from this morning involved me and my cousin getting the death sentence, I can't remember the details of the dream, but I remember the whole big dream was us being brought on a big journey to where we get killed, I was very upset the whole time, except for bits when I tried to cheer myself up, then I would remember again what was about to happen. But it got to the point where I realised all the things I wanted to do with my life that I have not yet done, and I even said to my cousin (in tears) "I don't want to die, I have wanted to do so many things before I die, which I haven't done yet. I swear to god, I really hope there is a heaven, no joke".

I got very upset, and that was when I woke up, to find tears on my face.

I had never realised how scared of death I am.

Location: My friends car in my home town

I was in my friend Jake's car sitting in the back seat. My other friend was sitting in the passenger side seat writing in a journal. I look over and notice he's is writing about lucid dreaming! I told him, "Hey, you in to lucid dreaming now?" He replied, "Not really. Just writing a dream i had where i could control stuff."
"Oh, okay" i replied, a little disappointed. The part that was fail was, I didn't become lucid. I was so angry with myself when i woke up, and more annoyed when it was the only dream i could remember from that night.

Another WBTB morning, my memories of my dreams before I woke up for the WBTB are not good.

I remember that I was inside my house, on the computer and I was on DV chat, and I went on youtube, and I saw a video where someone had made their own song, and it sounded a lot like a song I had started to make myself in real life. I got really angry at the guy for stealing it, I made a big fuss about it, I got off my laptop, I went downstairs, and I can't remember when I did then, but I then remember taking out the trash and then going on the downstairs computer and onto DV chat for like a few seconds, then I went back up stairs to my laptop and onto DV chat.

I'm thinking that DV chat (or just computer in general) is a dream sign for sure.

I will edit this post after my WILD attempt, later on in the morning.

EDIT: I can't remember my dreams now. I was able to remember them earlier, but I never wrote them down. I know that my WILD attempt failed though. I could not get comfortable enough, so I just gave up and went to sleep.

Location: Northern Mexico

I was at a campsite in northern Mexico. After starting to walk out of the camp, i found my view completely covered by a map of where i was in northern Mexico. I was right next to a river, which i noticed after i stopped seeing the map. I saw a horse hitched to a post next to me, and decided I would try to ride it. Right was i got on the horse, a fit, tired looking Mexican man came over to me and told me to follow him. I continued to follow him for a few minutes along an old dirt path which led to an old, western style town with large cement walls all around it.

We started riding through the town, and it seems deserted. As we exited, i got off my horse and started following the man on foot. I then looked at my hand, and there were all 5 fingers on each hand, but my right index finger was half gone, down to a little stub. I quesitoned this and yelled, "Am I dreaming? Is this a dream!? I am dreaming!"

"Sweet!", i thought to myself. "What should i do?" I started thinking. I the decided to stabalize the dream by rubbing my hands, even though there was nothing really wrong with it in the first place. It was then that the horses started going crazy and the Mexican man yelled, "Look out!" I turned around, and there was a zombie running towards me, with a pale, white face and eyes as dark as could be. He stopped about 5 feet away from me and started screaming in a low, ghost like shriek that hurt my ears. It was then that the Lucid TotM popped into my mind, use pyrokinesis, so i yelled, "FIRE!" and pushed my arms out, trying to "push" the fire at the zombie, but nothing came out.

I was starting to think, "how can i get fire to come out?" It was then that i noticed the zombie screaming in agony, not trying to intimidate me this time. I tried to use fire again, and yelled as loud as i cou;d, "Burn Zombie!! FIRE!!!" This time i held my arms out in a Dragon Ball Z type thing, and noticed a large light spot on the zombie, as if somebody was shining a spotlight where i was trying to burn him. I was a little confused by this, but i just went with it and the zombie started slowly falling to the ground, singed as if there really were fire. It was once he was dead that suddenly, fire appeared! And i could control it!

I could feel no pain, only a soothing warmness where the fire was. I played around a little bit, amazed that i wasn't getting burned, even though i knew it was a dream. I started walking along the path again juggling fire balls, which I definitely can't do in real life. That goes for the Fire conjuring/controling as well as juggling. After about 2 minutes of amusing myself with the fire, i noticed somebody having trouble at his campsite. I walked over and noticed a campfire going, a tent, a picnic table, and a Coleman Grill. He was having toruble lighting it, even though there was a campfire behind him, and the fact that he had a lighter in his hands. I walked over, asked him if he needed any help, and he replied, "Yea man, i need to heat up these beans I got here." I then noticed a can of beans next to his stove. I said, "Stand back," and lit the gril for him. He proceeded to thank me and asked if I wanted anything in return, But before i could think of anything, I woke up.

Only the one dream recalled tonight, which was after trying WBTB for the first time this morning.

I was briefly outside on a front porch before the door in front of me was answered. A girl I don't really know very well in reality, J, answered ( c ). J ignored me and I let myself in. Next thing I remember we were in her kitchen. I was sitting down and she was just standing there. Her hair was a mess as though she had had a fright. Her eyes were closed and I realised she was sleepwalking ( c ). Next thing I know she is walking off out of the room and towards the stairs. I followed as far as the kitchen door and remarked at how it was unfair that I tried and failed but she hadn't even had to try ( i ). I remember feeling angry, but also that I liked her cream coloured PJs.

So, my thoughts about dreaming are at least making it in to my dreams it would seem.

The house itself struck me as very American suburbia. I find that strange because I never have dreams that take place outside the UK, or a very UK-like setting.

Black = AwakeBlue = LucidRed = Dream

Nothing last night, which was kind of annoying, but anyway, I guess I'll write about one of the first recurring nightmares i had as a kid, before i learned how to wake up form them.

Location: Back alley by a lake

I was walking down the street minding my own business, not sure exactly where i was going, but i know i was walking away form Oneida Lake in central New York. Nothing was out of the ordinary, a few cars were driving by and there were several other people walking along the street. I then heard some female scream as if she was terrified of something, and when i turned around, i saw a man with a gun chasing her. He then noticed i was looking at him, and started chasing me! I quickly turned to my right and ran down an alley where there were large cardboard boxes that i could fit into. Granted i was only 8, so there wasn't much of me that had to fit. I tried hiding in one of the boxes but the gunman ran over and threw the box away. I was petrified and I couldn't move. I somehow then managed to get up and run out of the alley, while the gunman just stood there.

I thought i had got away when i felt a strong push from behind me and i lay face down in the gutter. It is now that a crowd of people form around my body and i start seeing things form a 3rd person view from above and behind the crowd. I could see a hole in my back and blood dripping from it, and I also saw the gunman turn away and run. Nobody said anything and no one tried to chase down the gunman. It was about this point that i saw a very bright white light and could hear the voices and screams fading. All throughout this i felt no pain, only a strong sadness that almost made me cry. It was about 5 seconds after i saw the light that I woke p all sweaty and with a pain in my back. I quickly got up and ran to the mirror expecting to see a bullet hole, but i was 100% fine.

I went up to my school bus as usual, I got up to the door of the bus, and the bus driver said "doctor's note?", I was confused as to why he wanted one, I asked him "don't you mean bus pass?", and he told me "no no, doctor's note, or you ain't getting on the bus".

So I shouted at him "YOU FUCKER" and started walking to school, I started to walk faster, then I ended up running.
I only remember about an 8th of the journey to school, the next thing I remember is me actually at school.
Then there was some kind of talent contest going on, there was this kid playing the guitar for it, and he played a bit, and everyone said he sucked. Then Slash (not me, the actual guitarist) came on stage out of nowhere and helped him, then the kid really fucking rocked. Then Slash started crying "he's way better than me, I'm finished!!"

Then I went home and I saved some kid's life from a falling tree or something. The parents rewarded me with something which was in 3 long boxes. I never even opened the boxes. Then the next thing I remember was being with the kid and his parents and brother in this cafe type place. All of us got a Yorkie bar, and I got a can of Irn Bru.

The next thing I can remember (I think this is into another dream) was being in this weird castle type place. I was with a bunch of other people and we were being chased by something/someone and I found a sniper rifle on the way, but once that thing/person got closer, I took the scope off to make it easier to aim. (this part was kind of like a video game, every time we died, we came back to life again to try again) I finally killed it/him/her and then I remember we walked away and that's all I remember.




Then I had done WBTB, I went on DV chat for about 45 minutes. I then tried to WILD, I lay there without moving any limbs, but I just couldn't keep my eyes still, I tried concentrating on my eyes to keep them still, that gave me a headache, so I remembered that you are supposed to think about something else and it will relax itself. But, my headache was just so bad, I couldn't be bothered with the WILD attempt any more. So, I turned on my side and went to sleep.

I don't remember much of these dreams right now, but I can remember going on my computer and writing in my dream journal here on DV, I remember typing in the title of the post, and I saw the auto-complete thing come up when I started typing, and I noticed the subtlest of things, I saw "october" (without a capital "O"), I thought to myself "I have always put capital "O", I was confused, but before I had a chance to consider whether it was a dream or not; I woke up, I never moved kept my eyes still, I didn't have DEILD in mind, but I landed in a dream and I was thinking to myself "wait a minute, I wasn't here a minute ago, oh yea, I'm dreaming now.

AND BAM!!!
I woke up. And here I am typing out this DJ post.
I could not be bothered trying to DEILD again, because I just kind of felt like it was getting late.


On a side note, I remember in one of my dreams, I was trying to get to the moon. But I don't think I made it there. I had Nomad's black tower thing in mind. But I think I ended up not going. And I could swear I was even lucid at that point too, but, my recall of that dream was so terrible, I just don't know if it was or not, so I won't count it as lucid.

Location: High School Lunch Room

I was sitting in the lunch room in my high school talking with some friends when i decided to go to the vending machine and get some food. When i walked over, all the usual things were in there. Chips, pop tarts and a couple danishes. But then i noticed something new. There were cinnamon coffee rolls for 38 cents! I had 50 cents with me so i decided to buy one, and it was amazing. Never tasted a cinnamon roll so good in my life. After I finished eating it, I had a FA, in which i looked at the clock, it said 3:17, and i decided to go back to bed.



When i was back in the dream, i noticed that the rolls were now 62 cents, so i asked around the lunch room for 50 cents, since i still had 12 leftover from the earlier purchase. After asking about 10 peopl, my friend Alec gave me 2 quarters and gave me a hg. I then ran back to buy one, but they were all gone! I was so sad that I woke up.

There were a good few dreams which I could remember earlier, but stupidly, I never wrote them down. So these are just fragments of memories.


I remember being in my school, in class like usual, then when next period came, I went to PE, my normal PE teacher was there. A few of my friends were there, but not the people in my normal PE class.

We didn't actually do PE, we did random stuff, moving stuff around and what not. I can't remember fully what we did.

Then it was time for me to go home like I would usually do on a Friday, even though today is actually Monday.

So, I walked out the door, and I was looking for my driving instructor, (this must have come up because I am nervous about my driving lessons starting soon). Then I remembered, "oh wait... That thing starts next Wednesday" and I was very relieved.
So I started walking home like normal, all the normal thoughts were running through me head, "hmmm, should I go to the shop or the baker's..."etc. I was walking out of sight of the school building, I could see the leaves on the ground, the texture of the concrete pavement. Everything seems so realistic when I look back to it. This part of the dream is the part which I remember most, even though it is not that interesting.


Then the next thing I remember is another dream I think. I was in a shopping centre with my mum, and I was looking around to try and buy Slayer a cat girl, weird huh?
Then, the rest of that thing is blurred in my memory.

The next thing I remember is being outside this big mansion, outside it's big gates. I am pretty sure there were other members of DV there, but I just cannot remember right now. For some reason A Roxxor rings a bell. But, maybe he wasn't there.
I cannot remember what we did, I think we were planning an attack on the mansion, but I don't think we got round to it.

And that is all the details I can remember for now. The dream was more interesting and exiting than that, I can remember that much anyway.

Location: A College or large school of some sort

I am in some sort of college classrom, and my 7th grade math teacher, Mr. Chawgo, also our baseball coach, is teaching some sort of class. It was either world history or some type of math. Nobody was doing anything. I start hearing something like a horse naying outside. We were all just sitting there, and Mr. Chawgo was lying back in his wheelie chair when our assistant principal walks in. He says, "Whose horse is that?" Jason says it's his, so i look out the window, and sure enough, theres a brown horse tied to a post with a bunch of cars parked all around it. It keeps making noise and trying to get away, but the cars just beep their horns at it.

We all decide to walk downstairs, and grab some baseballs and baseball gloves. Mr. Chawgo hurls one at me from 15 feet away and, even though i haven't played baseball in 8 years, i manage to catch it perfectly. We then start walking down my high school gym hallway, and as we xit, we are just outside what appears to be my sisters college. As we round the corner the assistant principal walks up and tells Jason he needs to get his horse. He says O.K. and goes to get it. I then see some sort of sign with a diagram of the school and the boundries / roads round it. It looked like a the white house from above, only flat and not as fancy. I also shows where we are and where Jason's hose is, which is when i then woke up.

This morning I woke up and went to sleep tons of times, my head was full of part memories of dreams. I have forgotten most of them now. This is one that I just remembered there.

I woke up in my dream (FA), I turned on my laptop as usual, Just as I was about to open Google Chrome, I noticed my Desktop Background had changed. I noticed it had went back to my old background. I just accepted that it had changed, I knew that my old OS used to change my background to black all the time, because it was messed up back then.

But, that isn't the worst part of it. My Desktop background is this:

Spoiler for My Desktop:

I knew that was the desktop I should have had, I actually remembered the words "Reality Check" from that picture. I had those very words in my head, wondering why they weren't there.
And in real life I would usually do a RC when I see or think about that background. But I never did one.



This was probably my biggest FA fail I have had.

But, I have been having a lot of FAs recently, and all of them have included me going on my computer, and usually onto DV, and usually into chat.

So, I will now prepare myself for that.

Dream 1 - Running

I was running down a spiral staircase in a circular tower. I was being chased by a giant fantasy tiger like creature and several smaller, identical ones ( a,f ). Then the scene changed to an out of body view of the tower from the outside ( i,c ). The sky was purple, the tower was made of stone with a blue roof ( c ). It had small windows, but my perspective was to far away to see inside. I was then back in my body briefly before I awoke.

Two aspects of this dream came from video games. The tiger like creatures from one, and the scenario of being chased down a spiral staircase in a tower from another. I wont bore you with any more details.

Dream 2 - Singing

I don't really have good recall of this one, so I'll just copy directly what I noted down on paper in the middle of the night.

"Singing person as though good or famous. Pity?"

Dream 3 - School

This was my final, longest, and most detailed of the night, occurring right before finally waking up and ending my sleep for the night. The order of events is very muddled.

I was back at secondary school ( c ). I was in a lesson of some kind, but instead of a classroom we were in the main hall -- I was near the door ( c ). We were sat with the tables joined together in rows spanning the room. I was sitting next to an old friend, C, on my right and a girl I went to school with, H, on my left.

Recently I passed C in the street in reality and we had a conversation. I hadn't seen him for 7 years since leaving school. H I also hadn't seen for as long. She was the cutest girl in class and it turned out she liked me and asked me out. But this was in the first year of secondary school when I was 11/12 years old and I messed it up so it never really went anywhere. The configuration of the seating arrangement is significant to me because in one class she sat on my left and always wanted to swap seats.

The former prime minister of the UK, Gordon Brown, was my father ( c ). He wasn't there but I was aware of the fact. I get the sense that people in the class were discussing the fact, but it's not clear. Anyway, I hated him with a passion. There had just been an election, which he lost, and I was wondering if one day I would be the prime minister myself.

There recently was an election in the UK which he lost, of course. I did and do hate him. Weird that he was my father though.

John Locke, the character from Lost, was in my class ( c ). He was across the other side of the room. For some reason the tables were being re-arranged to make larger rectangular tables where people would sit facing inwards. I was excited at the prospect of it causing arguments for some reason ( i ). I wanted Locke to sit facing my friend C so that they would be more likely to argue with each other. I was very keen to stay sat next to H but she decided to sit next to her friend, M. Instead I ended up next to a girl, J, I knew from way back in primary school when I was about 10 years old -- her name was different from what it really is though ( c,f ).

I don't really know what's going on with the Lost stuff other than that my friend, C, reminds me of Jack from Lost in that he was kind of the leader figure in my circle of friends back then. The seating thing seems to be mixing two really weird school memories about girls.

There was a guy who's a journalist online in the class, S ( c ). The teacher, who was my Biology teacher, Mrs. H, from back in secondary school, comments about how it would be strange if he were to meet himself in different timelines or through time travel ( c ). S responded that he had actually met himself twice over and been in a room with three of himself ( c ). I made the joke that it was really "deep" because he has a notoriously deep voice ( a ). Everyone laughed at my amazing joke.

There was a scene in a courtyard -- but I think maybe it was earlier than previous scene -- in which there were TV cameras ( c ). I seemed to know what was going on and was explaining it to someone.

Back at school we left the main hall / class. There was a black and white hand drawn map across from the boys toilets on the wall, but I was somehow aware that it was out of date and wrong ( f,c ). An old acquaintance (I wouldn't say friend), G, said it was my fault because I had forgotten to update the map. But I said I wasn't going to re-draw it by hand when I could just go and print it out from the computer. We headed up stairs to English class and were stopped by a teacher who wanted to know why we were out of class. For some reason I couldn't stop thinking about how I was going to pin the map to the wall later. Next another old friend walked past us also heading upstairs, R. R was carrying a full colour map that was larger than the one on the wall ( c ). Then I woke up.

I'm at a loss for much of the later half of the dream.
