Lucid Dreams
Again, I wake up from a dream I do not recall and decide to MILD I am walking through an alley of a town and it is dark. It gets light and for some reason I do a reality check. My finger goes through my palm and I am surprised. It is now daylight and I know I am dreaming. I get out my phone and, unlike most of my dreams, it works fine. Unfortunately, My crush's number is not in my contacts. It doesn't even cross my mind to enter it in manually as I am only partially lucid. I try the "open door" technique several times. The first time, it brings up someone completely different who attacks me. After fighting her off, I try again several times to no avail. The time is actually brings her into the dream, she is about six inches tall. I try a few other things all of which fail. The dream ends.
I wake up at about 4:00AM and decide to try MILDing. I say to myself that I want to have a lucid dream but I don't repeat it like a mantra. I think about what it feels like to be in a lucid dream and let my mind wander. I drift off and have this dream: I am in a store. My "family" is there with me and some other employees. The store is being watched by robbers or something and we are defending it. They have tapped into our security cameras to watch us and we know it. Our leader says "Don't move eradically or they will know we are aware of their tap. A guy moves and somethings happens with the camera but the robbers don't notice. "See?" the leader says. We get everything ready for the invasion then start jumping around to attract the robbers' attention. I wake up on the couch at home. I get up and have a feeling I am still dreaming I am also fearing that the robbers are coming. I have to go to the bathroom so I go to the one off from the kitchen. Afterward, before I leave, I decide to reality check. I stick my finger through my palm. At first, it won't go through. I try again for the hell of it. It works. I then look closer and find that it just went between my fingers. I try this several times and the same thing happens. I think "If it is a dream it is quite clear and vivid." I leave the bathroom with some sort of porcelain discus in my hand. My mom and dad are in the kitchen. I throw it and think about it coming back. I am almost making it do so. I do this several more times making my way to the adjacent dining room. My mom is beside me and my dad across the table. I turn to my mom and tell her I am dreaming. I would not have been able to do this otherwise. I give the discus and she tries. I then wake up for real.
I am sitting at my desk at college. I am extremely tired and don't feel well at all. Probably because I got up at 5AM the previous morning and didn't go to bed until midnight for the purpose of WILD. For some reason I decide to do a reality check. To my astonishment, my finger goes through my palm! I am lucid but I think I am in my dorm, which is not true, I am actually at home.I get up and instantly feel much better and more awake. I decide to call my crush, as a dream character, so I get out my phone. I flip it open and the screen is black. I realize it is because electronics just don't work the same way in dreams so instead of pulling up my contacts list, I just dial her number manually. The numbers appear in white on the black screen as I enter them in. At first, I enter my number. I realize it and clear it out and enter her's. The phone rings and someone answers but it is not her. I decide to try the method where you call out for the person. Again, someone answers but it is not her. Apparently there is someone else in the hall that has the same name. It is some random girl that I do not know. I then wake up. I am still in my dorm sitting in my chair I reality check again and find I am still dreaming! I try again to no avail. I walk out of my dorm and go outside where there is a playground. Obviously, there wouldn't be a playground on a college campus but this is a dream so whatever. I start climbing around on stuff and eventually think of the time its 9:45 "crap I'm missing English". I am probably a little less lucid at this point. I get up on some monkey bars and I start to notice the dream fading. I try to stabilize it by rubbing my hands together it works. A guy about my age appears beside me and says "Why won't you wake up? You need to wake up." I decide to let it happen and I wake up in my dorm again. I look at the clock. 2:30. "Crap, I missed a lot of classes." I realize it's futile to try to do anything about it but then realize, it's spring break. I don't have classes. I am still quite tired but I get up. My roommate comes in and says something about me joining his family for dinner. I start to think about getting ready for that when I truly wake up.

I am taking a nap and fall asleep I am playing a game where there are dungeons and such and the whole game is a massive maze. I go around this maze for a very long time, this is a 2 hour long dream. The character is Amaterasu but the game is nothing like Okami At some point, I get this power-up that allows me to duplicate my character or teleport it. I continue through the maze, it is quite a labyrinth, and eventually I realize there is a map map and every now and then I look at it and realize that I'm in a completely different section than I thought I was and remember. I have this icon for my character and I notice the same icon on other places of the map. I remember that I can switch between and that I had gotten the power-up that lets me teleport. I pressed some button and was able to move one of them around on the map. I exited the map and the character shot over to the new position. I see big blue letters on the screen saying 62 remaining. I was like wow, I must have built up a lot of points to get that many charges for this power-up. But then I got bored and stopped playing the game. I am in my room at home talking to my mom on the phone. I am talking with headphones I have plugged in to it and somehow my connectivity is shown on the computer screen. She tells me she is going to some meeting thing, I can't remember what its for, and she doesn't know how long it will be, but after a short conversation the call cuts out. I am on my computer playing some desktop defense style game and it somewhat resembles the map from the last game. For some reason I keep trying to get a hold of my mom. I pull down a list of numbers on my screen and non of them are her name. It only shows the numbers that you can connect to, like a wifi card would with networks. I have this strange fear of something bad happening. I try for a very long time to get a hold of her but the signal is just too bad. Every now and then I'll start a game, but I won't even finish the first round, then shut it off. I get up and go to go downstairs. Halfway out my bedroom door I realize my headphones are still in. I turn around, take them off, and throw them on the bed. I walk out and look out the window adjacent to my door. I can see flashes of blue light in the sky that indicate a storm. That explains to me why the phone connectivity was so bad. I walk down stairs and realize in the back of my mind that I am dreaming but I'm not really aware of it. I wonder, "This is a dream, my family is probably going to be messed up ad hostile in some way" as most of my dreams are. I walk down and my brother is standing in the hallway outside our computer room and my dad is doing something on his computer. My Mom is in the room next to that. My Dad sees me and yells "Go back upstairs!". Everyone becomes hostile as I thought and starts coming toward me. I am standing at the foot of the stairs but in the rec-room and my brother and mom advance on me. I "decide" that this would be better to handle lucid. I literally willed myself to become lucid and everything became extremely vivid, it wasn't a fuzzy dream to begin with, and I push everyone back with my mind. unfortunately, the fast transition into lucidity woke me up. I am laying in my bed in a very dreamlike state. I am disoriented and feel almost as if I am in sleep paralysis, but as soon as I realize where I am and what had happened, I feel no paralysis and I get up, reality check ( passes ), and I scribble down notes on the dream.

I am in some sort of hotel with a bunch of friends and I am looking for my crush. I do reality checks so much now that I often do them just to do them, this is the case here. I do a reality check just to see if I'm dreaming, nothing prompted me. I don't think I'm dreaming but I try to put my finger through my palm anyway. To my astonishment, it works. I become lucid for a few seconds walk around the hallway. I think, hey "This brings my lucid count to 3!". Wrong, its 2. Later, the lucidity faids just as soon as it started and so does the dream.

my first lucid dream! I am at home in the upstairs bathroom. I am just standing there and suddenly I think, "Wait shouldn't I be at college?". The term "Reality Check" pops into my mind. I decide to try the finger/palm reality check. I push my right index finger into the center of my left palm. At first, I think the reality check is passing because my finger is buckling under the force that I'm pushing at my palm. but then I look at the back of my left hand and notice the tip of my finger coming through. I push more, there is a lot of resistance but I manage to get my finger through my palm. I become excited. "I am dreaming." I think to myself. Immediately, everything becomes quite vivid. I take notice of this then say to myself with a smile on my face. "I am having a lucid dream... I am finally having a lucid dream!". I think "What should I do?". I realize it is night-time in my dream so some of the things I remember speculating about to myself during waking life will not work. In the end, I decide to call my crush. I go downstairs, pushing my finger through my palm every now and then just for the hell of it. I get to the dining room. The light is on and my parents are there but it is around 10:00 at night so I am confused as to why they would be awake. It is a dream though, after all. I push my finger through my palm one more time and this time move it around a bit. I am so fascinated! I feel my Dad may attempt to stop me from leaving the house though so I try to leave discretely. I grab my pumas and go into the game room which is always dark when the light is off and kind of out of the way. So I start putting my shoes on and my Dad goes out the door. I start tieing my shoes and realize that they are huge. The tongue is massive and the laces are those thin round laces that never stay tied. They look somewhat similar to Osiris's which I am not really a fan of. I continue tieing them but before I can finish the dream ends. I wake up and think... "Did I just have a lucid dream?" Yes... yes I did. But it was somewhat disappointing. Oh Well, next time
