I was in a multi-storey building and had a can of beer. I went up the stairs to the top floor. I went into the bathroom there to drink it because there was cameras everywhere else. I held the door shut because I had a feeling something might try to come in. Then suddenly, I was in another building that seemed a bit like the inside of a mall or hotel. I became lucid and did the nose plug RC to confirm. I willed my Anima to appear and she did. I told her that she would be my companion in my next dreams.

1. I was talking to someone about the movie Butterfly Effect. I said that apart from the whole time travel thing, the plot was fairly realistic. Someone started arguing with me about it, and I said that Tommy setting fire to Crockett is the sort of thing that happens in real life.

2. I was in a car with an older man who turned out to be Obi-Wan Kenobi. We were arguing and I said that it's his fault that Darth Maul keeps dragging me out of cars and trying to kill me, because Kenobi failed to kill him on Naboo.

3. Donald Trump was sitting at a desk next to a politician who was competing with him for the presidency. Trump was much bigger than the other man and appeared to intimidate him. He ridiculed the other man and imitated his facial expressions.

I had three dreams last night, one failed WILD, then a successful WILD (extremely rare for me!) And thirdly, the best of the lot, a DILD (I have not had one in months) the third one was very important to me as I reached a dream goal I've had for nearly four years, and it's the most stable lucid dream I have ever had in my life.

This story begins at around 1 in the morning, after I had slept a few hours and woken up.

First off, I entered sleep paralysis while lying in my bed listening to creepypasta stories on YouTube through my earphones. Now, I know there's some confusion about sleep paralysis, people saying it's the incorrect term and that there's misinformation on these forums about it, but I still call it that. I experience loud static noises in my ears when I realise I'm in SP and either try to move or try to enter a dream.

I attempted the FILD technique at this point, but I was barely able to move my fingers, and I ended up wiggling my toes a little instead. Eventually i managed to sit up but I felt very disoriented, half my face felt paralysed. I still felt like I was in sleep paralysis partially, even though I was actually dreaming at this point. I woke up shortly after this- a false awakening. It doesn't count as a lucid, technically, because I thought I was awake even though I entered it directly, simply because I was still in my room in the dream.
After this, I was prepared.

Less than twenty minutes later, I was back in sleep paralysis. This time I simply focussed on the hypnagogic imagery and willed myself to enter a dream. The static in my ears came and went, very loudly. I stared forward into the hypnagogic imagery and then, I felt something I have never felt before- I was being lifted off my bed. I felt someone lifting my legs up, turning me over, slowly pulling me off the bed, and then I floated to the floor. I got up off the ground and did the nose RC- Dreaming. In my room. I grinned at my success, and attempted to turn the light on. It didn't work. I remembered that electronics tend not to work in dreams. I was not thinking properly enough to make a light of my own.

At this point, things took a bad turn. I started thinking about how there are often spiders in my room, and I looked about for them, then panicked. I flew straight through the roof of the house, which is comical now that I think about it, and left my destroyed home to begin flying about the night sky, for approximately five seconds. Then I started thinking that spiders might fall from the sky, and I freaked out and woke myself up. I then cursed myself for ruining a lucid dream by forgetting that I had control over it.

Third, I was in a recurring dream, that I didn't realise I had been having a few times recently until last night. I was with a few friends running through a city, pursued by gangsters who had weapons. At the end of the alley we ran down there was two turns, left and right. I knew that one was a dead end and the other was a path to safety, somewhere to hide. As always I followed the friends in front of me to the right, and the one in front swore and shouted that we had gone the wrong way. I turn around and sprint the opposite direction, and just before the gangsters turn the corner behind me, I run up a wall on the right, and vault onto the top of a garage, lying down on its roof while the gangsters run past below. At this point I realised that I was dreaming. This was only ten or so seconds into the dream. I stood up and decided that it was time to finally complete my dream goal that I've had since I first joined this site. To return to the non-lucid dream that I had back in 2012, a few days before I signed up to DreamViews.

In the original dream, I was in a palace of some sort, with unknown companions around me. There was gigantic doors in front of us, open, and all that was there, was water. We were deep under the ocean, and somehow the water could not enter the palace. I have since referred to this place as Poseidon's palace, after the ancient Greek pagan god of the ocean.

I have wanted to revisit this dream for just under four years and I did it in this dream. I willed myself to stand before those doors again, and I was there. I was ecstatic. Gazing into the ocean beyond I saw gigantic sea creatures, hundreds of them, bigger than whales, passing by. I turned around and began to finally explore more of this place. I flew through the hallway in front of me and to my surprise, found myself in a cove- rock, plants, waterfalls, a seemingly totally natural place, that had a sort of presence to it. It reminded me of a scene from Zelda: Twilight Princess. The large waterfall in front of me seemed to me to represent Poseidon himself. I spoke to him in my mind, and he congratulated me for returning at last. I felt that he was going to grant any wishes I asked of him, and answer any questions that I had, and that he also represented my subconscious. So I asked him to give me the ability to lucid dream at will- that when I want to have a lucid dream I will have one, without fail, every time. He told me that my wish is granted. I believe that I have somehow planted it into my subconscious by doing this in this dream, that I will now realise I am dreaming every night.

The dream started to collapse around me as I was told that I am allowed one wish or visit every time I come here. I did not want to wake up, and I began rubbing my hands to stabilise. I no longer felt like i was going to wake up, but the world was a blur of colours around me. I shouted "Stabilise NOW" as I had read to do on these forums, and then screamed "I'd like some f***ing clarity if you wouldn't mind", and then I was immediately in a ridiculously vivid dreamworld, in a village similar to Hobbiton in Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, except inside a forest. There was one out of place large modern house, and someone was staring at me through the blinds. I ran up the wall and punched through the window, grabbing the man, pulling him out and then telling him that I don't tolerate rudeness from Dream Characters, before frisbeeing his body into a tree. I flew around a bit more and landed when I saw a talking badger, reminding me of the Wind in the Willows. He said he's missed me and I said that I missed him too, just to be polite. I have never seen him before.* I got distracted by a large red sign in his garden which had a YouTube link on it. I could read the link perfectly, it remained stable as if it was real.

I heard my phone's alarm going off and had to wake myself up, as it was time to get ready for work.. at half 4 in the morning, because I had a shop to open.
