This small stupid DILD took me way to long to get lucid. I was dreaming about work, which I normally can prevent. I had to go through a scene where the fire suppression system was on and ruining my stock, and then line much longer than every is normal, realizing I had not shaved, trying to shave and finding the razor dull but having removed half my facial hair. When I saw large water pipes that should not be there, I finally became lucid. My recall is poor on what I did after that. Mostly I just told myself I am not allowed to dream about work.

Current Task: Grow from the ground complete and accurate plants (Tomatoes and bananas), have them bear fruit. eat the fruit and have the taste and texture be fairly correct.

Attempt 2: DILD, accidental.

I was just dreaming about random stuff and did an RC which worked. I did my click my teeth together and run the tip of my tongue over my front teeth RC. The sound was muffled and the teeth felt less than clear, like a blurry sense of touch. I became lucid.

I quickly became very aware and remembered my goal. I erased the current visuals and looked at the ground. I focused on the idea of plant sprouting. Last time the tomato looked stick like. This time (I have been staring at a real tomato plant lately) the tomato plant looked about as perfect as I could hope, but its manner of sprouting was more like watching the plant be created a layer at a time from the bottom up, much like a 3d printer. The final plant was great looking and bore fruit. At this point the dream was fading so I stabilized. In the process of stabilizing the visuals had been erased.

I decided to just accept that that was a great run at the tomato and to move on to my first attempt at bananas. I looked at the ground and made a plant sprout. Bananas are trees, so I made it thick and powerful, but when it was only about 6 foot tall the visuals showed something that looked segmented like a piece of Christmas cactus. I imagined how it should look and it morphed in stages until it was a perfect 12 foot tall banana tree and sprouted clusters of bananas. I noticed the bananas did not have a bold yellow color, but were brownish. I decided that was fine as many bananas are not so vibrant yellow as store bought ones. The dream started to fade again, and when I stabilized again, the tree was gone.

I knew I had not ate the fruit, so I created a nice banana in my hand. I decided that was actually pointless as I want the sequence to flow unbroken from sprout to eating the fruit. At this point something IRL woke me up.

I was laying under my wife when I see someone approaching. I become lucid because the situation is weird, but it is a low grade casual lucid. A narrator says something (I hear it as a thought) about "His wife did not want to have sex with him, so she bought him a sex android, but now the android is jealous and wants to kill the wife."
I see hands reaching for my wives neck. I bat them away and impose the thought that this android is far to weak to choke my wife. I get up and the android looks like Angelina the actress. I had recently seen her on TV. I started to think rationally and told myself that I should really seize lucidity and stabilize, then resume trying to sprout life like tomato plants and eat the fruit (lucid task). I however IRL am very horny this night, as part of what the narrator said was based on real life. I figured I would just try to get a wet dream out of this and screw all that responsible training stuff. I started having sex with the Angelina DC and at first it was vivid and believable. I had not taken any time to stabilize, so it was pretty low end as far as it goes. The DC starts complaining about not liking that, and please lets stop. Obviously this reflects on my feeling rejected IRL, and is easy to interpret. I was frustrated and the dream ended. Dur~2-3 minutes.

My newest lucid goal: Make plants sprout from the ground, grow to maturity, and sprout the proper fruit. Then eat said fruit and have it taste correct. This LD was my first attempt at tomatoes. I also fit in completing a TOTM (hugging).
This was a unsought for DILD. I am surprised it turned out well as I did everything wrong, as far as trying to LD. I was highly stressed after two high pressure 12 hour work days. I took sleeping tablets and drank 24 oz of coors Light. I just got lucky.
I did not try to get lucid, and just ignored the generic feeling of this being a dream, but I had an extra hour to sleep, so after the 8 hour mark, I jumped on a lucid moment and went for it. I was dreaming about being in college and an old friend was there. I realized it must be a dream and started pulling full consciousness into it. After a moment it was a full LD.
I could see through the door a nice day outside and a school field. I decided to go out and try to grow a tomato plant and eat the fruit, as that was my only current goal (next is bananas). I ran out the door and randomness made me barefoot and the ground crushed lava. There were also people playing kickball. I started to form the thought that this ground could not grow fruit, but suppressed it. I ignore the whole barefoot and lava idea and it went away.
I knelt down and place my hands above the ground and imagined energy flowing into a buried tomato seed. A small tree like stick started to sprout and grow to about 3 feet. A red ball, like a balloon formed on the top. No, not very good. I want the plants to look accurate to the type I set out to grow. I tried again, and focused on it being more delicate and branching. Another stick started to grow, but this time it was red and branched into two. It formed another stupid red ball on one end.
I took the red thing about the size of a golf ball off the bush and the imagery shifted to a normal park with people at a picnic table. I set the red balloon like object down and corrected the graphics into a perfect small tomato and then caused it to grow large. It grew huge! It was a big luscious perfect tomato, that was half the size of a basketball. I needed two hands to hold it. I bit into it and it was juicy and wonderful. The other people at the table all tried some. I am 100% satisfied with the final product, but not very happy with the plant. It was just a red branch, not at all tomato plant like. The dream began to fade here, so I rushed to stabilize. I focused in close on the tomato and pictured rubbing the skin on the side with my hand.
The dream stabilized, but the seen had changed. I am in a house in the kitchen. I decide to try and just turn any random object into a tiny tomato and make it grow, for practice. I picked up a random cube of bullion. I set it in front of me and transformed it into a small round circle. I then caused it to grow. It was another picture perfect tomato. Red shiny and perfect, about 5 pounds worth. I picked it up and noticed my mom and grandma in the room. I asked them to try some. I found the skin was very tuft and rubbery. I needed to tear the skin open by pulling it apart with my thumbs. I then took a huge bite. It was so juicy it was like biting a pond! Not good in my mind. It was bland and far to liquid like. I looked at the place I had bitten and juice was pooling in it and dripping everywhere.
My mom DC pointed out water on the floor and that a fish tank must be leaking. I suddenly found the dream fading again, and stabilized by imaging I was looking at a pretzel. I ran my fingers over the little bumps of salt until the dream refocused. I was now out on my grandma’s street. I walked over by a house and intended to try growing a new tomato plant. I again caused a small branch to sprout and tried again. Darn it, tomato, not stick! I sprouted about 3 more branches. Stupid mental block.
IRL I am asleep in a cheap motel, and a stupid garbage truck is outside doing its thing. I start to become aware of the room and the stupid garbage truck. How to save this?!? I tell myself that a garbage truck is in the dream. That is what I am hearing, not a real noise,,, no reason to wake. It is a garbage truck on my grandma’s street, that is all. A garbage truck forms in the dream. A freaking noisy garbage truck. I want to maintain the dream of the garbage truck as long as it takes for the real one to finish up and leave, so I dare not shift scenes. I need the truck to be the focus of the dream, so growing tomatoes must wait.
Ah Ha! I need to hide from the garbage truck! That is the new story, and I will do so by growing one stupid branch like stick at a time and enclosing myself in a fort by forming a semi-circle against the house. Rumble rumble rumble goes the stupid garbage truck. I work away at sprouting little branch like trees (practice) until I am in a nice fort. It is actually a pretty cool enclosed area. I form a little door.
I do not know how long it took to build a fort one branch at a time, but the stupid garbage truck is still outside IRL, and I need to keep it in the dream, or wake up. What to do? Wasn’t one of Opheliablue’s TOTM to hug the first DC you see? I have already seen some, but whatever. I will use the idea, and go hug the stupid garbage truck driver. That is it, I will keep the big loud stupid truck in the dream, by going up and hugging the DC driver. At least I can have a goal and not wake up. I climb out of my little fort and walk to the street and there is the truck. I see someone in the cab. I walk towards them waving, but the truck drives away.
Yay! The stupid truck is gone IRL. I need to stabilize again, but forget what method I used. I look up and am inside a house. There is a crash of breaking glass (IRL?) so to work it into the dream and not wake up I imagine I bumped something and a jar fell. I look down and sure enough, a jar is broken and jelly or honey or grease is all over. I wonder how well I can TK such a liquid? I TK it up and into a empty tank.
My step dad is suddenly there and watching me. (HUG THE FIRST DC!) I go over and give him a big loving hug. It felt real, and about like hugging my step dad normally feels. I was surprised though because he started telling me stuff about how proud he was of me, and other kind stuff. I felt good and a bit touched.I went outside and started to try and grow a good tomato plant. This time it came up a bit closer. It was a stick with many small branches each with a weird red nut at the end. Not at all a good tomato plant, but closer. I took a red nut and held it in my palm, and caused another perfect tomato to swell up in my hand. This one was more realistic in size.
The dream started to fade again, and I started to stabilize it, when a thought occurred to me. I had a half hour snooze alarm set. How long had this dream been so far? F$#K, could my alarm be messing up? It has done that before recently, and I need to be on time to work. Crap. I better wake up this time. I stopped stabilizing and woke up. Sure enough, the alarm had shut off. Good thing I had been lucid. Dur~30 minutes.

This is so weird, I am sitting here a bit stunned. I just woke up, but let's call it more fled back here from the astral. I have run out of lucid goals. I wanted to challenge myself beyond super powers and the standard stuff. I decided to seriously try to figure out how to gain personal control over my entry into the astral dream realm and entry into the big city there. I did a WILD with this in mind. I intended to call out to "Dream Guides" in general if I needed to and to sit in seiza position if any confrontation happened to show my harmlessness.
I am a little embarrassed by the level of fear some folks from there caused me. Silly and foolish, I never seem to have enough forward clear reason and calm rationality when I go astral. I intended on showing restraint, and I did, but WOW, I panicked.

I WILD into a scene that appears to be a restaurant and an old lady is asking directions. My I-phone will not work. I realize it is a dream. I attempt to shift into the astral. I can not explain clearly how this is done, as I am actively trying to understand it myself at the moment. I think it worked right away. I have recently spent a year uncontacted by any Dream Guide types, because I asked the main guy to allow me some space to dream inside my own head, with out them always controlling/training me. I had been tired with every LD being a training session, or at the very least, subject to the rules and laws there. A few nights ago, I asked for re-entry and immediately was contacted (see naked rave dream). In that dream a security vehicle followed me around.

For my new dream goal I wanted to make the entry on my own if I could and then calmly make contact with some of the entities. I wanted to make good eye contact, and have a clear discussion. If things got weird I was going to sit to show harmlessness.

I walked around in what still looked like a dinner, but suddenly it shifted and soon I was there. The people were now emanating the special feel astral entities do. I was being watched and stared at. I sat at a table and I tried to talk with a large man. I could not understand him. He looked frustrated and increasingly angry at me looking at him. I seem to have somehow started an argument with him. I have sometimes thought they were testing if I would respond with violence (and often have) I tried to leave through a glass door. He tried to stomp after me. I held the door closed and he transformed into a polar bear and was pushing from his side and looking pissed.

I saw another man approach and asked him why this man was so angry. This man I could understand. He told me "Him? He was just delivering pizzas." ??? Well, maybe I could understand??? What? "He was just delivering food" The bear had gone from the scene so I stopped trying to hold the door. This guy hand me two pins, like would go in a shirt collar. What? I thought maybe they were some form of translating device, but fail to fully understand what they were, or how they could work.

I walked around behind the dinner and it was an semi-enclosed industrial looking court yard area. I was immediately approached by a man who looked very angry. I jumped up into a tree. So much for my plan of staying calm and showing harmlessness. This place has strong gravity that overcomes the ability to fly. I can fly for very short bursts but it exhausts me, and I am not sure many here can fly. He acted like he was going to grab me out of the tree, so I levitated (damn, the gravity was overwhelming) I barely got out of reach. I was forgetting my harmless bit. I mocked him "Can you fly?" He just shook some papers at me and repeated my words in an angry tone.

I snatched the papers from him and he stomped away. I tried to look at the papers, but they made no sense. I thought I picked up on some words that meant something about 2 types of blood and some public health issues. I gave up on understanding it.

I looked around and in the next area over was what looked like a large market store and a very tall tree like thing was in front. I figured I would hide in the branches and just watch people. I went over and floated up into the branches, but did not seem hidden from view. The tree was swaying with my weight and a passer by stared up at me like I frightened her. Soon a security type or at least a stern figure came and just somehow grabbed me down from the tree. I do not understand how. It looked like I was up off the ground a ways, but with a small gesture I was pulled down in front of him.

He looked angry and when I tried to talk he reached up and grabbed the pins they other guy had given me and shook them at me in his open palm. I could not understand him. I decided to go ahead and call out loud "Dream Guides!" I had decided on that phrase before hand, as this is still very confusing and my goal was to actually understand it more. Two more people rushed up, but I thought they looked angry too. I quickly went into the sitting position I had planned on to show I was not going to be a threat.

Things were going well in that sense, I had completed both goals, but I was on the ground surrounded by three unknown entities who looked angry. I panicked and decided to flee back to my own head. One of the people told me not to do it, but in my panic I felt it was a hostile order, and it just added to my fear. I closed my eyes and was a bit like Dorthy with they I want to go home stuff. One of them tapped on my shoulder, but I was panicking and made my escape.

I entered an ordinary LD (I think) but was creped out and made myself wake up.

I will not give up, I am going back in to try it again. I did not attack anyone. I called out "Dream Guides!" I sat saiza when confronted. So in that sense I succeeded in my goals. I also seem to have made the entry on purpose and without aid. I never thought that language type barriers would exist. I have not had time to think about that. Also, what is the meaning of the pins or the papers about public health issues?

For over a decade my adventures in the astral were haphazard at best, or guided carefully by a DG. Now, I think learning to understand and control this type of travel are the next step. I need to learn to stay calm and figure out how not to make people angry. I think the first guy could not understand me and was just yelling at me to leave him be (let him do his job) and I think the other guy wanted to know why I was creeping around behind the building. Fairly harmless stuff.

As I did my WILD I had planned on the punch a president TOTM as I have to find some new goals and it seemed worth trying. While awake I decided on the latest Bush. I succeeded in the WILD and had fairly high clarity of mind. For some reason I was not happy with my first attempt in which I just summoned an image of a man that may or may not have been any person in particular. I punch the image and it all had a Batman comic kind of feel, you know, Kapow. The visual had been depressing and I feel it would be a huge stretch to count it. I intended on it being Bush, but it never resolved into a clear image of him, and in no way felt real.
I for some reason decided to try again with Ford. I remember trying to pull up waking knowledge of whether Ford was still alive. At the time I was frustrated as I kind of thought Ford died about two years ago, but just could not figure out if that was factual. However, as I type this I realize I do not know the facts while fully awake (is Ford dead?) so why be hard on myself in the dream?
I wanted to build this up into an actual dream sequence with lots of feeling, visuals and other DCs. I created a back story. I was going to be a college student or something and there would be a charity exposition match. I teleported to a very nicely rendered classroom and secret service types came in and explained that Ford would box one of us in an exposition match. I volunteered.
Next I teleported to a scene outside in an area that looked like the front of a capitol building, complete with a crowd and boxing ring. People patted my shoulders and led me into the ring. Ford came up and was going to do the whole photo-op thing. I felt the dream was wasting time with this, but the randomness added some ambiance, so I did not fight the story line. Then guess what? I freaking woke up.
I think I never really wanted to punch a president. I will just have a nice hugging dream to meet the minor goal this month and leave the presidents alone.

A fairly vivid WILD in which I at one point saw a standing mirror, so I decided to try and use it to change my appearance. I looked down at my dream body and found it vague and poorly represented. I looked at the mirror (not into it yet) and started repeating stuff from the series 'Highlander' such as 'I am Duncan McCloud of the clan McCloud' then I looked into the mirror. I saw in the reflection a fairly true image of the actor in full Scottish garb including a long black pony tail.

I was in a vivid non-lucid and trying to enjoy a natural history museum. As I walked down one corridor I was followed by two young boys who were making loud rude noises. I decided to just let them pass by, so I stopped. They stopped and stared at me. It was clear that they did not want to loose their captive audience. I was pissed off as it proved they wanted to bother me. I took a rolled up paper and slapped one of them very hard with it.
No adults were around, but I figured I should get away from there before some did come. I went out an exit, and wondered if any one saw me go out. At this point I felt the situation was not very realistic and simple RCs showed me it was a dream. I was on a college campus. I started walking around and felt the need to stabilize, so I kept repeating 'this is a dream' out loud. I passed by a couple young women who stared at me. A classic mental stumbling block of DCs telling you were not dreaming. I had nothing planned so I told them that this was in fact a dream, and that I would show them a trick. I started levitating and zoomed over to them and raised about 8 feet into the air.

They of course said I must be using wires or some sort of trick, and that it was not a dream. I told them that I could make lightning or summon things, but that DCs never agree about dreams. I just wandered off and enjoyed some basic screwing around, but my recall fails to be clear on what all I did after that.

After the long WILD I posted I got up and wrote down key words, then did another one. In this one I became lucid and was simply being instructed by DGs and having a pleasant conversation about what I could learn from the prior dream. I know that while in the dream I felt it had a lot of content and lasted a few minutes. However, I failed to wake after the dream ended and now it seems to be gone.

07-02-13 W.I.L.D Did WBTB at 2 am. Had trouble getting my mind off bad situation at work, so I used visualization as my anchor, after counting failed to quiet my mind. Imagined screaming while striking a stump with a stick. I would picture a strike over the left shoulder and then the right back and forth, each timed with a scream. It must have worked because soon my body was asleep, but my mind was present.

I looked around and was standing in the shadows outside a walk up restaurant, like 'Sonics' and a small crowd was standing around. A young man came up to me. I was fully lucid. I recognized the man from waking life. I decided to just observe. He started talking to me about my recently deceased father. He said he knew him and was sorry for my loss. He also spoke perhaps 3 or 4 sentences while we walked inside the building.

I look over and the man has now become my step mother and we are walking down a street in the neighborhood where my father grew up. I decided to just listen, assuming this may be some aspect of my personality. The conversation seemed long and important, but I can not remember what was said.

The DC shifted into some young lady I am not familiar with. I decided to start taking an active role in this LD at this point. I figured I may want to play with the DCs body, so I summoned a hotel. I simply took a 90 degree turn and 'knew' it was into a hotel. A stair way lead up into an old fashioned building, so we went up and into the lobby. A lady was there and I told her we wanted a room. She said it was up the stairs, so we walked up a flight of stairs. A bed appeared on the stairs. I wondered at why my brain jumped ahead of the story, and if I should bother to correct the graphics, as I would prefer a room over a stair case. Suddenly the graphics went hay wire and another bed was descending from the ceiling plus another behind it. I almost lost the dream here.

The visuals faded and I decided I should stabilize. I looked at my hand and it was fading and colorless. I focused on just the shape made by extending my thumb and fore finger in an L shape. I slowly twitched the thumb until it came back into focus. The dream stabilized.

I looked around and was in a library. I walked about for a minute and found a DC of my wife. I talked with her for a minute before I got dirty thoughts going and considered turning this LD erotic. I pulled up her skirt and so on,,, she commented on the lack of fore play. I mentioned that as this was a dream, it seemed like I could just jump ahead, but we could start over. I almost lost the dream here also. I had to stop and stabilize again using a trick similar to the first one. the scene had changed.

I was standing outside a tall building at night in a city. I walked by a DC of a heavy set woman in a bright red outfit. I decided to enter the building and it was some sort of arcade. After walking around looking at the arcade I noticed a room that had a rave going on. I went into the rave and noticed that one of the women was buck naked and others were dressed in red vinyl costumes like vampires. I decided that I was going to dance. I actually thought that dancing at a rave was part of the task of the month, but that was just wrong. I started dancing and a half dressed woman in a red top and vinyl wings started to get all sorts of sexy with me. We started dirty dancing and I became aroused and distracted,,, and the dream started to collapse. Quick, stabilize it again,,, this time by watching my hand make a fist and open it over and over. When the picture resolved I was outside again.

I wandered around by flying here and there, until I was in front of the building again. This time as I entered the building it was a fancy restaurant. A waiter met me and asked me to follow him. He then went into a long detailed explanation of how the energy body of a being living in a dream realm/astral was able to sustain consciousness and finally drew a comparison with how the energy body of a being living in my physical world was composed,,, or something like that. It suddenly seemed to me that perhaps I was in fact again in the large astral city I have often visited. At the time, the conversation seemed very profound and deep, but now that I am awake, I have little memory of what he taught me. He continued walking us to the back of the restaurant and as we went I grabbed some food from some where. It seemed to be peanut butter fudge, and I was surprised by how detailed it tasted and felt. Often dream food is bland.

He told me he had to get me ready for something and to please relax and look into this mirror. This was in a back area, like a kitchen. Suddenly something was injected into my leg. I decided not to freak out, and to see where this odd situation ended. Was this a hostile thing? I suddenly got euphoric and felt like I was drugged. A waitress then led me back through the restaurant. I asked her what was going on and why they drugged me. She just walked me to the door and said it was time for me to leave. It was a nice night outside.

Well hell, that was weird? Here I was still very lucid and not sure if this was an astral realm or the inside of my own head. What to do? I figured remembering the real task of the month (thought the rave was wrong) would be a good idea. I thought it was wind surfing or parasailing. It actually was that a few days before, but I spaced off the date. I thought IRL it was the end of June, but actually July just started, and I had not read the new tasks yet. Now the night outside in front of the building was very pleasant and so vivid that I noticed the sky. I decided that wind surfing on the moon would be more fitting of a challenge. So, I went through a long sequence of flying and trying to summon a clear image of the moon. I was not happy with my first two attempts to fly to the moon as the details were poor. I ended up taking out a coin and watching how the moon light reflected on it. I turned until the moon light really hit the surface of the coin brightly. I then 'knew the moon was directly behind me, and turned. There it was, perfect and crisp, a beautiful full moon. I flew up into the sky and kept it in sight. I made sure the flight took a little while to add effect (the moon is far away) as I approached it expanded until I got the full visual effect of landing on a huge bright round space object. Ha!!! The best flight to the moon I have ever pulled off! What did the surface look like??? The front of the same darn hotel I had left a few minutes before! Hmmm, more evidence that this was an actual astral place and not my head? If so I probably looked real dumb, flying around their building 'pretending' to go to the moon. I started to loose the ream again, and needed to stop and stabilize again. This time I took out the coin and slowly turned it in the moon light while focusing on the details of the light and the coins surface. it worked and the dream went on.

After looking at the coin I was still in front of the same building, so I walked down the side walk to see what might be near by. I noticed a couple vehicles, one of which was some sort of security or police, and I felt as though they were observing me. I have been in trouble more than my share if this is the astral city, so I hardly blame them for being cautious. Well, minding my own business, so I just walked down the side walk and turned into the next building. This building had a fun atmosphere kind of like the retail areas in Vegas casinos. I saw what looked like people shopping and took a minute to absorb the stunning colors. I was very impressed. The ceiling was an aqua color and other vibrant blues were on the walls. Crazy good resolution with the visuals. That also made me think astral. It looked way to vivid and real, with proper depth.

The corridor of shops ended in a large arena area. I flew to the middle and landed on some bright orange thing. Maybe it was a stage? The security vehicle seemed to have followed me and was now slowly creeping around the out side of the arena. Well, I had nothing to do here and probably did not belong in here, so I searched for an exit. I left through a door into a parking structure. I then spent some time just exploring and flying around the area. I do not remember details as this was just fun screwing around stuff. I eventually had to stabilize again, and used the same coin trick.

This time when I looked up from the coin I was inside a house. The detail was fantastic! All the depth and detail was perfect, like a true virtual recreation of a lived in house. It had a couple rooms I could see into, a counter top, and various personal effects. Way too good of graphics! Again, reason to think it was not a normal dream. Two people were in the room with me. They appeared to be DCs of two men I have met IRL, but I felt that they (and the waiter from before) were actually entities/ dream guides. I started laughing. I mentioned to them that this LD was just going and going and going. I commented on how my perception of time would put this experience at about 5 hours elapsed time. I mentioned that it seemed unlikely to honestly be so long, but that I knew when the dream started. I told them by my honest perception I assumed it must now be at least 5:30 AM, and it would be interesting to see what time it ended actually being. They just politely commented that maybe time worked different here.

I started laughing again and pointed out an enameled copper sun ornament they had hanging. I tapped it with my finger and it felt real. I was laughing that if I did not already know I was dreaming, I would not be able to RC, as all the details were perfect. The ornament felt totally real. I then pointed out the tie died tee shirt one of them was wearing. It had the full rainbow of colors in bands from top to bottom. The colors were fantastic! He then gave me a quick lesson in kundalini and how it applies in the dream realm, using his shirt as a diagram of sorts. I felt I already knew most of what he was teaching, but upon awaking I can not remember the details of the lesson.

After awhile they showed me to the door. They said it was time for me to go back to the ?something? I was outside then. I figured maybe they meant the big hotel building where the rave and restaurant had been. I was sure this was the astral city, and had no interest in getting in trouble, so I flew up looking for it. I saw the building, but as I approached it, it transformed into a huge fair ride. Sort of a skinny tall ferris wheel. I figured I would not fight t and just go sit in one of the cars, to see if anyone was going to come get me or what. The box I was sitting in was not moving, but had a great view of the dawn sky. It looked just like a scene out of that movie Vanilla Sky.

Eventually the dream tried to collapse again. I was about to stabilize but thought about it. It felt as if about 5 hours had passed. I was now just sitting watching the morning sky. maybe I should just go ahead and let the dream end? I felt mentally tired and suspected my body had to pee, so I did not make any attempt to stabilize this time. I actually woke up. It seems my wife had coughed and got out of bed, so that was why the dream had destabilized. I looked at the clock 3:30 AM. LOL. 90 minutes. It had only been a 90 minute dream. I say only, just because it felt like 5ish hours. I never seem to take LDs much past 90 minutes, because I end up mentally drained.

This was a DILD. It was pretty standard but one part is worth writing down. At one point I went to phase through a ceiling and again met with resistence as if a heavy curtain was in my way. I decided to adapt and just phased my arms through the ceiling planning on finding the rafters. It worked and I felt the wooden support beam. I then just pulled as if doing a chin-up andwent through the ceiling into an attic. The last room had been very detailed and vivid. I took in the attic and it was also life like. I then peeked through the hole I had made in the ceiling and could see the last room clearly. I looked back and forth between the rooms to see how quickly my mind could change and generate the scene. It worked well and I could look at either and good detail was still present.

I have had perhaps 6 to 8 LDs so far this month, but kept getting involved in things other than ToTM. This time I had woken after 8 hours sleep and went back to bed. I was not really trying to WILD, but got lucky and did it anyways. I entered a basic dream scene. I looked around and was very aware and lucid. I flew up and saw I was in the river section of Boise, Id. I scanned my mind for what I wanted to accomplish in general.

I managed to remember the task of the month challenge, and only one came to mind. I had bothered to do a couple mantras a few days ago to remind me it was suppossed tobe an extreme winter sport. I decided that i should work this up into a great experience, not just make a quick snowy scene and do a jump or anything. Well in Boise, Idaho we have a ski resort upon the only mountain inside the city, called Bogus Basin. It sits very obviously at the top of a small rolling mountain, and has colored lights on a tower, so it is an obvious landmark, for skiing.

I flew higher and knew i would be able to see it. There it was clear as can be. I decided not to teleport, because flying there with it in view, would reinforce the illusion of actually going to Bogus basin to ski. It is a long ways away, and I was not flying fast enough in my mind, I could wake soon, so I sped things up with a trick. I figured I was moving only about as fast as a private air plane, but that would still take a few minutes to get there. I projected a spider man like line all the way to the tower and had it pull me forward like a winch. I zoomed up there very very fast.

When I reached the ski resort I pictured finding a massive timber lodge i could get on top of. I planned on skiing off the roof of the lodge. A large timber building was in fact there and I tried to get on top of it. I had a small bit of trouble with stupid stuff like getting caught under the massive eves of the roof and having to screw around with actually making it to the top. When I was up there I realized I would need skis, so I attempted to summon them, but it did not work well. I looked around and had only summoned to straight boards about 2 or 3 feet long. I TK'd them to my hand and tossed them up knowing they would land in front of me as skis. they did not. I decided to just act as if they had anyways. I stood on the boards and made the basic motions of strapping on skis.

I decided to make the meeting of this challange clear and offical, so standing oon the two boarrds on top of a massive ski lodge, I proclaimed outload "Lucid Dream Challenge! Extreme Winter Sport." I then started to ski down the sloping roof of the lodge. I did a ski jump off of the second story roof, but failed to do any kind of flip. I landed in the street, and decided to ski down the road and build up speed. I was not satisfide with how extreme it was, so I made the road become very very steep. I zoomed along straight down thee mountain. It was a rush, but i remembered I should be going back and forth and kicking up snow as I cut into a turn. I started doing this and it was fun, buut I needed to jump off some cliffs or something. I wish the graphics had been a little better during the two cliff jumps I did. I could feel everything as far as velocity and gravity plus detailed scensory feelings as far as body, but the visuals were lacking with much of the scene blurring into white mid jump. On the first jump the cliff was perhaps 20 feet and I did an arial flip, but landed on my back sliding down the hill and one of my boards came off my foot. I just pictured it snaping back into place and me recovering, and I was up again rushing into another cliff jump. this one went smooth, but still had poor visuals. I guess as I have never done a jump or anything, my brain was unsure of what the visuals would really look like.

I finally reached the bottom, and when i looked around I woke up.

I had a fun night, but did not bother to record the lucids except a few words, now a couple days later, I seem to have forgoten a bunch of it. In one I became lucid because a lecture was outside that should not have been. In another a toliet was in a kitchen. I do not remember what triggured the 3rd one. I managed to chaange the entire scene at one point to be a street corner in Mexico, with booths and carts. At one point I was flying and a row of telephone poles kept getting taller as I went up, until the telephone poles were up at the top of a sky scraper, then I dove from up there and dove into a plastic cup. These were very vivid as they happened, but boy, the recall is just fading away.

This was a WILD that became a FA and then became lucid later as a DILD. I did a basic WILD and when the dream started I had lost awareness for awhile. I felt high as hell! I was in complete euphoria and my body was rushing out like it was on LSD. I felt myself expanding and beautiful purple hallucinations were in the visual field. This made me lucid, because I have not done LSD for a very long time (many years), so when I felt completely bombed on acid, I knew it was a dream. I became fully lucid and just enjoyed the feeling. it was probably more intense than most drug induced euphoria.
The scene then resolved into me being surrounded by people including my grandmother. She was saying that I got so high I passed out, and everyone was noticing something was wrong. I felt very very very high. I started to believe her. I forgot how old I was, so being high no longer was a useable dream sign. She whispered that she had told everyone I was mentally ill and suffering some sort of fit, to avoid the calling the police.
My father was in the crowd, but as I wrote last month, he is recently deceased, so I have named him as a dream sign. It worked again. I was instantly lucid again. I tried to follow him and see what he was up to , but he blended into the crowd. I went back to just enjoying the euphoria and hallucinations. the dream ended shortly after that. Dur~4-5 min.

This is the DEILD from the Flooded Water Garden dream. I recreated the setting and sucessfully got anotheer lucid going, but quickly lost true lucidity for awhile. In the non-lucid portion I got angery with my dad because he was being his weird self and putting me off about some fish, making me wait for no good reason.
I walked out to the road with my cousin and she got in a car and started to leave. I looked around and could not find my car. I looked up and down the road and it was not there so I figured I must have walked the miles to get here. I realized I did not remember how I did get here, so I RCd and became lucid again. I teleported home and appeared in a bed. I was really comfy in the bed so I just enjoyed the feeling until I lost lucidity.
