I used to have very frightening hypnagogic images on a regular basis (along with hypnopompic hallucinations), but ever since minimizing my internet use last October, I've only had a few occurrences and it's not something I've really had to struggle with anymore.

And now that I've overcome that, I've realized, like my sleep paralysis, my HIs could actually be a blessing in disguise: a key to both falling asleep easily (when normally it takes me hours to fall asleep) and lucid dreaming. On Tuesday night after seeing a beautiful HI of a humongous whale inside an aquarium [not that I condone whales in aquariums], I slipped into a false awakening WILD. I was in bed and could see my cat and husband in bed with me, but the room was lighter. I realized it was a false awakening when I noticed I could see despite my eyes being closed, and then woke up.

If I work on this, I could turn seeing HIs and having lucid dreams as soon as I go to bed into a regular activity for me. At the very least, it could help me fall asleep more easily, even if they don't always lead to instant lucid dreams. Now that I no longer have to be afraid of my HIs, I can take full advantage of them.

I didn't have a lucid, just a non-lucid but I totally lost it due to being woke up with a spider bite on my stomach. It hurts & there is a knot but as long as it gets better I'm not too worried.

I just finished reading a fiction book that was really great so I'd encourage others to read it. It's called "Lucid" by Jay Bonansinga. It's in the horror section & is a dark book which was cool.

I had to record this three times already on here because I get booted off.

I was in my old neighborhood, I noticed some of the few details from my memory of how it used to be, then I noticed that I was hovering around the neighborhood like I was on a hovercraft. I get excited and move out towards the main section of the street. I noticed that there was hardly any traffic along the way and wonder. From a distance I see this open ocean bridge with an incoming thunderstorm. People start running. I hear a roar. It was Godzilla

Instead of fighting gamera, godzilla decides to start destroying mega corporate business, that was his goal.

Then all of a sudden its like I am in a movie theater, I am in one. Watching these movie unreel, eating popcorn next to familiar guests. The light goes off, people start booing and leave. I walk outside the movie theater with a friend and it is raining and storming, I hear a roar.

This dream makes me wonder if it is possible to use dream signs to zoom out into a completely different scenarios using basic earth elements like water, or the thunderstorm in the beginning of the dream that was in both segments.

I am at the top of a little hill with my friend Grace walking down. Then I find myself walking around Walmart with my aunt. We get to where the loofahs and the shampoo is. My aunt goes on ahead and calls back that she'll be there soon. Then, back by the shower stuff, a girl with pink and purple hair walks around at the end of the main isle. Her mom, basically just an older version of herself, comes and they are talking to each other. Then I didn't finish the dream because my Grandmother was calling me for breakfast

I was having a dream about the PowerPuff Girls. My memories of it are kinda hazy but I remember that we did a bunch of stuff together, like flying around and sutff (I don't really remember that well). Anyway I eventually got lucid and noticed I was in a garage. It looked like the garage in the building that my grandparents live but I tought it was the PPG's garage. I them remembered one of my dream goals (riding a mecha) and tought "Hey if it's the PPG's garage, there is sure to be a mecha or something like that here!". I began searching but all I found was cars. I then tried to turn a car into a mecha. I found a white car that I tought looked different from the others and decided to use it. I decided to use verbal commands.

"Open!"

The car's front opened up. The windshield opened up, kinda like a pair of sliding doors. The seats on the car begun rearranging, as if to look more like a mecha. I got inside it. It was kinda weird inside. I remember there was a seat in the middle, but it was facing backwards and the steering wheel was in front of it. I assumed this was the pilot's seat and I sat there.

"Initiate mecha mode!"

It began to close up and turn into a mecha. I reached up for controls and there where two things where I could fit my arms and control the mecha's arms as my own. I think there was something similar for the legs. I began walking around and it felt pretty cool, I could feel it moving around and had a nice view from the cockpit, although to be honest I had a more japanese-style thing in mind and it was kinda small. After some time I decided to fly up to space, I think I began by jumping and imagined myself flying through space really quickly.

Around here things start getting a little foggy. All of a sudden some people from a youtube channel (the best friends) where there with me, saying random stuff. I couldn't see anything out of the cockpit, so I looked to the side and could see blackness and some bright blue neon lines speeding through. I remember looking foward again and seeing Dr Eggman in space.

After some flying around we landed on a planet, it looked a little like mars, with red soil and orange-ish sky but we were in an area surrounded by rocks and old buildings. There was a green Godzilla there. For some reason, the scale in this point in the dream was kinda weird. I knew Godzilla was supposed to be big, but he felt small. I think we knocked it out and then transformed into some kind of Kaiju.

At some point, I lost lucidity. I was now in my grandparents' living room, sitting on a couch. There were some people around. I my remember uncle and his wife were there, maybe my other uncle was there too. I had a tabled on my hand and on it I was playing my other dream as if it were a videogame. My brother walked in on the living room and said something about a videogame system that emulates other consoles. He was telling us about it and I responded with a snarky comment, implying it wasn't really that good.

I think I woke up shortly after this. It was an interesting dream... my goal of piloting a mecha didn't go exactly as intended. I wanted to ride a huge one and walk around, then fly through space. I'm still happy I got to remember a goal and practice some dream control, however.

earlier:

+ I'm walking by some men standing on the left, I think they're captives, they're standing by a small open (outhouse?), I do not recognize them. Later I encounter a man hiding behind a boulder, he hands me a small stick that he's sharpened so we can fight back the oppressors. One the road above our heads on the side of the hill a procession goes by, the king is draped in along white robes with some blue on the chest.

middle:

+ racquetball. Lots of points, I miss some and win some. I'm following the ball intently. My playing partner gets some good kill shots at the front, and so do I. He does a ceiling shot. I get a shot off the back wall.

late:

+ I'm in a restaurant, by birthday party will be here now. I see in the sunken dining room down 1/2 a floor that there are a bunch of 2-person tables with a single white man sitting at each one, facing me. I'm searching their faces expecting to see someone I know but I don't recognize anybody. I then "realize" that my friends have invited these people here, I'm not thrilled with the idea but am OK with it.

+(f) I see PaKi (boy scouts) as a young man in his bed in his bedroom, I exchange some words with him then leave

+ I'm coming in from the drenching rain, as I come inside I see AMu (company B) at a table, also wet. I say that I'm relying on our project in order to get paid. He says that we're closing a $200M round of financing and I infer that he's offering to give me a piece of that

+ demonstration of siphon. On a small square table, I say to get a gallon bucket. My wife is there, I'm going to show her her to do it. Then there is a strange large black large backpack thing that is holding liquid that we're siphoning from, it has many pockets and there are many tubes coming out of it. Some people are complaining that it doesn't work. I'm telling them that they're not doing it right and I'm pushing in the tubes deeper in order to get them deep enough in the liquid to get the siphoning process to work. I see one of the tubes (the main one?) is leaking a few small pool of water (on the car seat?). I adjust it to stop the leak.

I recall only a fragment. I was in my front yard, whole family gathered there. It was a dark, cold evening. Someone sent me to our attic to find something lost out there. I climbed up a ladder and entered the attic. I immediately felt that something was wrong, the air was somehow heavy and I felt that there is someone watching me. I backtracked to ladder and heard terrifying and strange noises as I was climbing down. I went to toilet and saw that there is an ominous, dark hole in the ceiling, leading straight to attic. It was a joke made by my brother, but he didn't knew about the thing that was up there.

Okay, I was married to someone (Jasper? I'm not sure), and some other woman was trying to come between our marriage. She was beautiful, but I don't remember much from her appearance except that she had blonde curls. For some reason it was "required" that she come and live with us, stay at our vacation homes, etc.--so we let her, even though I knew what she was up to. I can't remember if my husband was suspicious or not, but I did my best to keep a close watch on her.

So, we went to a vacation resort. Perhaps that place was an island, I'm not sure, but there was a lot of land and water, and several pathways that clearly hadn't been explored. To try to paint a clearer picture, there was the town that everyone (local and vacationer) stayed at, but you could go into the woods of the town to have a real adventure. If you went far enough in the woods you would come to a clearing of sorts, and then you would be able to walk through the field, left or right, and look at several other pathways.

At some point my husband and I, when exploring that field, realized that the other woman was nowhere near us. We--and especially he--became worried that she had gotten lost in one of the other pathways and was injured or dead. We began looking for her, and he almost went through one of the pathways before I stopped him. I told him that it would be better for us if we actually went to the town first, so that we could check the places that she probably was, before we started checking place where we don't even know she had gone near.

So, we followed the field along until we came more to the town's western end. I remember that the post office was just to our left, and I decided that we should check their first. Almost as soon as we opened the door is when we seen her, holding a letter that would go off to someone. My husband and I were both relieved, and we stopped to talk to her a bit.

Then the three of us went to a party. There was a new thing that kept going around, that people with different sun signs were able to enjoy different sweets that were catered to them especially. It was revealed that the woman was a journalist, and so at the party she was talking to people about that, and about their food. One Scorpio woman told her that they were "very traditional" when it came to their food--in other words, every year at that party they would bring their links, their burgers, their cake, their French fries, and every year they would not care at all about anything else (and in any case, you could tell that woman didn't like the idea of "Scorpio cookies").

I sat down and thought about the poverty of the town we were in, and also our own poverty that my husband and I lived in.

When the party was over, the three of us left.

Maybe the dream just skipped forward into the future, or maybe I just can't remember, but suddenly my husband and I were trapped in a small dark room--possibly even a closet. It was clear that she had done this, and neither of us were able to figure out how to get out. The point of view switched from first person to third person, went out the door and down the hallway. As the POV was travelling I noticed wires upon wires, with a few machines here and there. The hall almost looked like a cave (but I was pretty sure we weren't in a cave). Finally, after a considerable distance, the woman was there, as was another man. They were wearing all black and were discussing my husband's and my demise. I can't remember exactly why they were going to kill us--either it was for our money (what money) or because they were assassins and it was their job to. Either way, she had not been able to "come between our marriage" like she had wanted to.

June 14, 2016: #3 of 3: With no prior recollection as to how or why, I find myself falling through the sky like a parachute jumper above a dense forest over a sprawling, stone medieval castle. I appear to be approximately 3,000 feet in the air falling at terminal velocity. The panoramic view of the forest and the castle (at about my 2:00) is very realistic. The shock and surprise of falling causes me to become immediately lucid. I am falling, not flying. I have no more control over my flight path than a parachute jumper would ordinarily have. I suspect this dream content was prompted by the Game of Thrones episode I watched with my wife L. prior to going to bed.

The sensation of weightless falling is very striking and enjoyable. For an inexplicable reason I am not concerned about hitting the ground. Perhaps I am wearing a parachute. Instead of feeling a rushing wind, my entire body has the sensation of a very powerful, extremely pleasant tingling. I observe the tree tops rushing up to meet me at a furious pace, but I am 100% aware this is a dream. In order to prolong the sensation of falling and the tingling associated with this, I somehow manage to “roll back” the dream to a higher altitude so that I can fall again. This succeeds even though I don’t know how I did it. I have no recollection of hitting or touching the ground. As with all my non-lucid falling dreams I wake before I hit the ground.

June 14, 2016: #2 of 3: I am in what appears to be a head shop examining various pipes made for the purpose of smoking marijuana. They are very cleverly made out of various materials such as wood, glass, and stone. One of the pipes is very intricately carved out of wood. It has a recess for your chin which places the outlet of the pipe right at your lips. It is intended more as a work of art and sculpture than as a practical means for smoking pot. It appears to be carved out of mahogany or some other dark, hard wood. I pick it up, examine it closely, and even fit it to my chin to see how it works. I wake.

June 14, 2016: #1 of 3: I find myself waiting for a preoperative patient at the nurses desk outside of the operating room holding area. I greet and shake hands with P**** R***. I grow bored waiting for the patient to arrive so I decide to go to my car in the parking lot to listen to some music. As I settle into my car I realize that my beeper has a broken button and is probably not operational.

I suddenly grow concerned that I might be late in my arrival to the operating room. I struggle to find the correct entrance to the hospital. I wander around an area that closely resembles the outside garden area of the Home Depot and another area, seemingly indoors, which has corridor after corridor of home goods for sale, almost like a Target, Walmart, or grocery store. I asked several dream characters for directions into the hospital, but no one is particularly helpful.

After a great effort and much fretting, I finally arrive at the doctor's lounge. I realized that I have dried blood on my right wrist from the prior case. A discussion ensues with the dream character who is evidently an anesthesiologist. As I wash off the blood I remark how easily body temperature blood can get on your skin without you realizing it. I wake. The time is 3:23.am.

I'm in my childhood home, and approaching the window of my brother's room on the second story. As I begin to head toward the window, my awareness raises and I have the thought that when I phase through, I'll be lucid. As I pass through to the outside, I am floating in the air in the front of the property, aware of the dream state. I announce to the dream 'I'm lucid' to solidify it. I think back to the podcast that made the suggestion for the announcement. I begin floating across the yard while rubbing my dream hands, and consider some of my dream goals. As I run my memory, I decide against it and instead decide to explore a bit and stabilize. Everything becomes very vivid as I approach the sidewalk, and make my way to the back of an SUV parked in the driveway. I approach the trunk, and place my hands on it, feeling the texture. I have the thought that it's incredible that a dream could be so realistic. I continue to stabilize by feeling the texture of the trunk for a few seconds, then continue on and turn left. I make my way into the street, and the dream quickly goes to void. i'm very calm, and simply remind myself that a new dream is loading. I stay in this state for about three minutes, patiently waiting for the next dream scene. I go through periods where it feels as though a waterfall current comes onto my dream head, then periods where it feels like a light current of energy is moving laterally across my head. Finally, someone lightly shakes me and tells me I need to get up. I jolt awake on a couch and ask 'Is this a dream??'. S responds matter-of-factly no... it's not a dream. I take a look around and see the vividness of the scene; it's easy to believe her. RCing doesn't come to me for some reason, and I go on to tell her about my lucid.

Sleep from 8pm - 3:20am

I got accepted to JPL school in Texas. It's not just a campus, but a research center and exhibition park with all things space. It's somewhere up in the hills, so high, that they have to carry up even helicopters.

I'm excitingly trying to call my brother to tell them I got accepted to JPL, because he was going for a visit there. But there is no signal so I'm going to wait till I skype him from my room.

I'm with my old classmates and a teacher having orientation. After that we take some escalators down into living habitats, which are huge building towers. The escalators and everything is full of visitors, tourists, people who work and live there.

We stop on the bottom of the escalator, because friend of mine M wants to get a drink. One bar is closed for some celebration, so my friend and someone else pulls out half full bottle of pear vodka and make mixed drinks at outside tables of another bar. I wonder where they have the bottle before.

Then we take a people mover that dips deep down into a wall and ends up at a boarding platform. We need to cross from Tower A to Tower B where we have living quarters. We sit down in nice cusioned seets on this transportation device that looks like a disneyland ride. It has about 7-10 seat rows. The attendant comes by to check our resident cards and I scramble to find one in my backpack. When she scannes it, she tells us that we have to wait for the next one, because this one is full. But it clearly is not, so we feel discriminated against because we are from another country.

So me and 3 other males ask how to get to the other tower and we are told there is some service tunnel. We get there and there are many heavy doors opening and closing fast to let fast moving people moving carts through. They are going really fast , we can't even see them coming or going, just a blur. Somehow we get through few doors, I see those guys running through them, diving through pipes and openings in the wall. But we have to turn back, because it becomes more dangerous and people just can't get through there.

There are two dreams that i had, and both included conflict and tension. It was fun. Can't believe that i have finally started having a lot of interesting dreams without lucidity.. With this aside, there won't be too many details as i don't recall a lot by now. I always DJ in my head and unless it was a very interesting dream that i have to remember later, i don't write down.

I'm in my room with some people.

[I]- I have a wooden katana in my room IRL. It did appear in this dream, as two wooden swords instead of one -[/I]

As my room's door opened, a girl with orange-like hair was standing right by the door. I was immediately shaken with fear once i saw her. I remember telling the people near me to hand me a weapon, which was 2 duplicates of my wooden sword. I did feel an intent to kill or something along the lines.
[I]
- Events happening around the kitchen of my house. Things were a bit creepy back then -[/I]

I was in my living room and the lighting got dark. I had a small spotlight that emitted a blue ray of light. As that girl came out from the kitchen towards the room, i pointed the light at her which was effective in making her back away. A few moments after that, the lights came back on. She was about to get close and i freaked out when my weapons fell on the ground. I pulled out a pen from my pockets and threw it towards her to buy some time to pick up my weapon.

After i picked the swords up, i dashed towards her and i blocked her weapon's attack (Don't know what her weapon was) with one sword then i made a spin to build momentom and striked her with my other sword. My sword somehow cut right through her chest and the dream instantly ended.

Why did i feel threatened? I don't recall her taking the initial attacks or anything, just that things got creepy. Unfortunately though, i'm not used to questioning dream enemies or anything like that since i didn't get a lot of dreams like this before. I feel a bit bad right now because i think that person wasn't intending harm.. Well, nothing i can do now.. can i? It felt creepy in the dream for some reason. Appearance-wise from what i remember, that person looked familiar.. Maybe closer in appearance to this character?[/COLOR][/SIZE][SPOILER=Rena][IMG]http://s18.postimg.org/mu4u3pxhl/higurashi_no_naku_koro_ni_rena.jpg[/IMG][/SPOILER][/FONT][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]

Things are getting better for my lucid dreams. I'm still working out on my methods amidst RC's and Mindfulness. Haven't touched meditation due to laziness but i have to do so soon. First thing's first, i finally am starting to get more length out of my LDs.. Chances are that it's because i decided to immerse myself somewhat with the dream. But even then, i'm still making some awkward mistakes like forgetting to stabilize properly or activate my WL memory in my LDs. For this entry, i will make it clear that i didn't intend to even write it down at first, which lead to me losing a lot of detail on it. I mainly chose that route because i felt like i was 50% lucid, that feeling that i got a lot in my older LDs. Not much detail here, but i'll still try to put it.

I became lucid when i was in my room, and as i discovered that it was a dream, i started touching my clothes as to stabilize my touch sense, which didn't work out that greatly. Had i restored my memory properly, i would have actually done a lot better job at stabilizing. Anyway, i only recall 2 events from the dream or so i would call them.

The first thing is that i attempted to find my long-searched-for Dream Guide, which as you may expect failed miserably. I apparently found a person, who was collapsed down like a doll. I remember trying to talk to her but there was no reply or anything similar. The only sure-fire thing is that that person was female. Can't remember the appearance or anything else due to my almost faded dream memory by now. I recall that in the dream around when this happened i was under the impression that this was not my real DG and that there was another person nearby or something like that. I would say that i insist on a specific persona for my unknown DG but i better be ready for anything i may see. So to summarize, a collapsed girl.

The other thing is that i was in my room, holding a sword of some kind. Again, i can't remember how i got it or what it looks like. One thing i remember is that i kept slashing the poor wall infront of me, and that i did a quick succession of slashes that immited dark purple energy lines or something similar to that. Cutting the wall felt kinda strange. After slashing the wall, i proceeded by dashing forward and clawing my left hand towards the wall, and at that moment i saw dark-purple (energy?) coming out of my hand..

The dream lasted around 4~5 minutes. Way better than the old 1~2 minute length dreams i kept having. Strangely enough, this lucid dream appeared after i changed my mindset towards my dreams the day before:
・ "My dreams are very exciting and thrilling. Even if i don't become lucid, it's fine but i'll try to get lucidity. No need to stress it out"
・ At the same time i RC, i try to make myself feel that "dream feeling" and pretend that i'm in a dream environment. Hard to explain. .[CENTER][COLOR=#3E3E3E][FONT=tahoma][B]*This entry is a re-write from my old account, TDHXIII*[/B]
