So I wake up after the non-lucid dream that I will post next, and write down that dream into my dream journal. I don't want to look at the time, I'm too lazy and excited over this non-lucid dream. Then after about 10 or 15 minutes of excited wake time of writing a dream down, using the washroom, getting extra blankets etc, I feel awake, but not too awake. I go back to bed. I'm like, well it's a coincidence to be waking up in the middle of the night and having this huge impulse to try WILDing again. I take that as a sign. I go back to bed where I WILD. I don't even feel SP, but the vibrations and sounds etc I do feel. I don't see any hypnagogic hallucinations however.

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

Then after about 5 minutes, I think I might be in a dream because the vibrations stopped. So I will myself to feel them again just to make sure, and slowly there came on a very strong vibration feeling like normal, and it quickly went away. I said, okay maybe this is a dream now I calmly do a nose RC and it works! I FUCKING FREAK OUT. I quickly sit up in my bed super excited and flipping out. I observe my room which looks exactly like my real life room. I do another reality check. The fact that I can breathe through my fingers is really cool. I don't see anything in my room though, it's very dark. I remember to rub my palms together, it doesn't really do anything to enhance the dreamscape but it feels so damn real!!! Then I notice how my room is still really dark, there should be something lighting it up. The moment that thought comes into mind, I notice some sunlight in the middle of my room, which is actually looking sort of like a mirror or a view of really nice tall townhouses that look similar to this lazy concept art I drew of it:



I'm like, those are really nice houses. Hey, I could make those houses be my neighbourhood now! So I do. I look outside my window, it's not super vivid this part, but I see this new neighbourhood.

Seamlessly, the dream takes me to the back seat of a car driven by my dad, with mom sitting next to him. I am sitting in the middle seat of the back seat. Hannah is sitting right next to me on the left. I say hi. She says hi! I tell her about my successful WILD and how this is all a dream and how sooo excited I am about having my first LD in 2 years, let alone a successful WILD done in 5 minutes after less than a week of practice! I keep ranting about this on and on. She is very interested and is as excited about this as I am. She laughs so much. I do weird sounds with my mouth because I'm having fun freaking out, and she laughs about that forever. Haven't seen her laugh so much before. Then I notice I'm getting a little caught up in the dream reality. I don't notice that I'm letting the dream control the dream, but I'm just ecstatic to be conscious in this dream and that everything is just as real as in real life! I hear the car vrooming, I see the trees passing by outside and everything! My parents aren't talking though. Nobody is talking unless I talk something to them. It's like everyone is much more obviously now, just projections that are much lower than me because I'm the one conscious in my own dream.

Anyway, I have the intent of scanning my surroundings more. I want to observe the trees go by through the window. Seamlessly, and without even being able to notice, Hannah and I switched seats. She watches me intently. Everyone who isn't driving etc is watching me intently, like they find my presence very interesting, or like since I like positive attention in real life, the dream works it out perfectly for me. I watch the trees outside, noticing every detail, every leaf, branch, etc. The trees are too tall and too dense to see the sky. I'm done observing, time to continue to chat excitedly with Hannah. We talk about normal things too, but she is completely find with talking about anything at all. So I talk about this dream again. I am amazed that the feeling of the car is the exact same as in real life. Then I continue to watch things go by outside. I am still aware that this is a dream, but due to my more passive nature, I'm unintentionally letting the dream take me where it wants for now. I see the shape of an elephant in a black bag atop some large machine on a farm. "Hey look, there's elephants on this farm." Hannah looks and reacts the same way I am to it, fascinated, yet bored.

The car stops at a bulk barn looking place that I've seen in another non-lucid dream before. It's my future school, Max the Mutt Animation School in dream form, yet it's not. We walk in. Seamlessly, Hannah and I are now in that high school that Blaine from Glee went to. IT'S SO COOL yet neither of us realize that this school looks like Glee. We explore the area, meet new people, I make a new friend. There's a cafeteria at this school which is also a room where they make awesome motivational speeches and proud speeches about their school. Everyone is wearing a Warblers uniform, or something with the same colour themes. We continue to explore, and I get caught up in the dream.

Then I am at the other version of this school, the version that does not look like glee, but like how I picture an arts college in the dream I guess. I am with my parents this time, and Hannah is off somewhere. I remember, "Oh that's right this is a dream. I can't forget that!" (those are thoughts/out loud thinking). My parents nod their heads. Everyone is quiet and watching me intently, and talkative only if I subconsciously want them to be. Then I think "I haven't fiddled with my surroundings yet, this would be a good time to do that." My parents agree. Everyone agrees. Whatever I say goes.
So the room looks like a plain art room first seeing it without observing it. Then I start to observe my surroundings, and I'm surprised that it's fancier than I thought it was before observing. I close my eyes, think of changing the wall to another colour, open my eyes, there it is. I look at the objects, close my eyes, think of changing them to this, open my eyes, they become this. I change the white marble floor to beige marble, and then a red carpet because I find that a very fancy carpet colour. I change the room to a very fancy art room. I move to the next room.

I want to change the room, but the dream takes me to another place, which is the cafeteria place of the Glee warblers school again. Mom and Dad are there.. somewhere. Hannah is near me, watching me intently once again. There is a band performing on stage. Everyone is watching me intently.

I suddenly feel strange. First I slightly forget that it's a dream again, and I am called to perform a song or something at the microphone, and I feel a little heavy, and I collapse. Everyone, my parents, Hannah, are surrounding me trying to get me to wake up. In that state, I tell myself, well this is just a dream. But what if the extreme vividness and realisticness of the dream causes me to get stuck in the dream because my mind can't distinguish if I'm awake or not? I push those worries aside. I know that if I wanted to wake up, I would because I could. For now I still want to enjoy this dream, and I am amazed at how long this dream has lasted already. It felt like hours has gone by.

Then some other stuff happens that I can't exactly grasp. Then I wake up in my bed again. I think, holy crap what an awesome dream OMFG I WILDed!!! And then my mom comes into my room, and puts up a poster of the bulk barn-looking max the mutt animation school. It's a halloweeny poster. She puts it up right across my bed so I can see it. She asks me if this is okay, I say yes. Then I realize, but wait, didn't I just wake up? I do an RC. Holy crap I'm still dreaming!!! OMFG what a looong dream and super realistic omgosh okay.

I rub my palms together once again, and observe my room. The sun is rising. There is a fat girl sitting next to my bed. I think, what is she doing here? Then I think, oh maybe I could use her for sex in this dream. Then I think, then again, other stuff is more fun to do in a dream.

Then I wake up again. I do an RC. I'm still dreaming. Holy crap! I think to myself. Then I try to think of a place I could go to. I remember, oh that's right, I'm obsessed with Tron! Let's go there! I imagine the scene where Sam enters the grid. I don't place it in my surroundings though, I imagine it, and nothing happens. The imagination is as vivid/not vivid as in real life, so this will have to go into my theory again. I remember that the way it worked before was that I played with my surroundings to get there. I was about to, and then...


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wake up. HOLY MOTHER FUCKING SHIT I think to myself, and then go on the computer to write my dream.

Okay, here's my second lucid dream. I think it's the most amazing lucid dream I've ever had, but you know, I'm also pretty new. Enjoy.
By the way: It's 9/10-11. 9, 10, 11. That's funny!

Walking on the water:

Okay, this dream is really amazing. I controlled a lot of things, and I did one of my goals, which actually was the task of september. Okay..

Me and my dad were walking with my dog. It was night, and dark. I looked up at the stars, they were very brights. We passed a lamppost, and my dad said "I'm going to hold a party right here!". I thoughts it was weird, because I couldn't see a house. I did the nose-pinch RC (again ) and became lucid. I remembered the other dream, and wouldn't use more time at flying. Not for tonight. I was pretty calm, and I told my dad it was a dream. He wouldn't believe me. I looked at a house. "Okay, I wanna try to walk on the water.. But where is water?" I asked myself. "Oh, I can create a beach!"! I looked at a house. "The next time I'm turning around, there is a beach!" I said, and turned around. Yes, there was a beach. But the sun wasn't shining in there, and there was a lot of wind. Now my dad believed me, and we walked over to the beach. When we all were over, I looked back, but the road was gone. The wind blowed in my hair, and it was a little bit cold. I walked down to the water.. The water almost danced, and the wind was really annoying. Suddently it stopped moving, but the wind wasn't gone. But the water was calm. "Okay" I tried to walk on the water. The water was a little bit cold. My food walked thought the water, and I tried again. And again. And again. I became frustrated. I couldn't fly, and now I can't walk on the water! Then, my dad said "Think about, that Jesus did it.". I thought about it, and tried one more time. Amazing! I walked on the water! it was like a wet stone or something. It didn't liked it, it wasn't comfortable, but it was really amazing. then I woke up. Happy.

9-6-11

I don't remember what the setting was, but I was talking to two middle-aged guys. I'm pretty sure I had been talking to more people on the same subject before, but I don't remember any of that.
We were talking about special doors that open into different worlds. The previous people had seen the doors, and seen the doors while they were open, and seen through the doors. The two last guys were different. The second guy, a rough-looking man in the lower 30s, said he had gone through the doors. Right then I could see in my mind's eye the door and the other world beyond. It wasn't as much of a world as it was like subspace: Swirling colors and little tangible land.
What really got me going was what the first person said: He said that he was able to open the doors. I understood that he meant he could open them when others couldn't, or when they were locked, and this got me really excited. And a little scared.
And I awoke.

The crazy thing about it was that the doors seemed so amazing because the dream was set in this world, as it is, with NO fantasy elements whatsoever.
And then there are these doors...

I got on a bus and travelled to Norway on a kind of tourist holiday. I had some slips of paper which I could write my destination on and some money. Our destination was supposed to be Morocco (I think) but we took a detour to Norway by bus all the way. Then we went to Finland where we were going sight seeing.

I had a false awakening here.

I'm not sure if I was lucid or not but I was in control. I'm not sure if I knew whether I was dreaming or not so I'll mark it down a semi lucid/lucid. I think this is the second part to the first dream I had above.

I was inside some kind of temple alongside a good friend of mine, my cousins and my parents. We were all in this main entrance place but the room seemed to be made of old stone. We went a bit further but weren't allowed due to health and safety. A relative of mine sent an encoded text to my mum and for some reason examining the stone walls would decipher it. Then I accidently found a slab that could be removed, and behind it there was a secret passage but only big enough to crawl through. We came out on the other side and we appeared to be in some kind of Colosseum

It was magnificent and we were at the bottom near the ring.This must have been the bit we weren't allowed in. There was a whole audience screaming and cheering at the empty ring. I didn't want them there and the next thing I know they've all disappeared and the place is now empty except for me, my friend and my cousins and parents. I went and sat on a small stone platform just outside of the ring whilst my friend and my brother went into the ring. I was trying to take all this in because it felt so real and vivid. For some reason inside the ring there were trampolines. I thin decided to go in for a bit, I came out a few minutes after. Shortly afterwards my friend came running out and hugged me really tightly(She's a girl so it's quite normal) Whilst hugging me she was saying thankyou over and over again for bringing her to such a wonderful place. Then for some unknown reason my brother ran up to me and kicked me, striking a blow directly between my legs! I didn't feel anything but that was what must have ended my dream.

NOTE: My recall has been so shitty recently. I've been in a dry spell for two weeks now. I'm trying not to stress about it, but it's annoying when I miss my dream signs so often.

I find myself walking down the back parking lot of my now old school(DS). I'm trying to find the right bus to get on. However, some of the busses are actually just minivans. I'm pretty sure they're not a minivan that exists though. As I'm walking, I'm thinking that I SHOULDN'T do a reality check, since it's the first day of school, and the dream would be worthless. (Let it be noted last year I still tried to use the dream sign throughout the year but it was worthless, but the first day should be an exception.) So now, I get to my minivan, but it takes off. Oh damn it all. So now, my good friend Eternity comes by along with one other kid. They had also missed their rides too. Well this sucks. And now, all the other busses are driving off too. Shit! So now, a black man wearing a plad dress shirt and jeans comes over.
"Okay, I want you, you, and you to come with me." he says. He leads us to the one last bus in the parking lot. It is filled with all black children wearing black dress pants and white short-sleeve dress shirts. I notice one outlier in the front seat, so he must be another one who missed his bus. My guess is this is a bus going to some sort of Chirstian or Catholic school if I'm correct. Eternity and I sit by each other. We start to drive away from the school now. Apparently, we're heading to our new school, and this bus will go to its correct school after it drops us off. The bus driver calls out the name Isaiah, to which about six or seven people stand up, including Eternity(His real name is Isaiah). Well, it is a common name among black people, so I wasn't surprised so many kids stood up(for the record, I'm not racist...in case anyone thinks I am). So, we soon arrive at the new school(DS), and we get inside. We go up into a PC room and we find seats. My day gets enlightened when I see Lauren(DS) in the room. She drops a few things of hers, so she bends over to pick them up. I can now see her panties, which are pure white. Well...um...I didn't see this one coming. So, the dream now skips over to night time, and I'm at home sitting on the very couch I'm sitting on as I type up this dream. I notice a bunch of people standing outside across the street on the sidewalk. They look like homeless people. I go outside to talk to them. Turns out, they're actually just a bunch of people whoring themselves. I pick up one girl wearing a really slutty shirt and short skirt, and we go back into my apartment. We make out for awhile, but we never actually have sex. She ended up having to leave. I was really looking forward to sex too. Oh well. So, the dream now skips over to the following night, were I find the same story happening again. This time, when I bring the same whore in, all the others come inside as well, and they start partying. I know this will wake my Dad and brothers up. Shit, what now? I know! I jump on my couch, and pretend to sleep, and at this point, I awake.

A LOT of time ago I posted my first lucid dream in this very website:

http://www.dreamviews.com/f13/my-fir...38/#post918173

An since then I have been taking notes of my dreams, trying lucid techniques and reality checks, practicing and trying... but with no success. The beauty of the lucid dream would not come back. The incredible feeling of knowing that the alternate reality you are experiencing is a creation within your own mind, and knowing that you can have control of everything in that reality... that would not come back. And during this time I had a lot of great dreams but no control in any of them.

Until yesterday.

I was dreaming about my family and me living in a nice wooden house with strange green carpeting all over the floor. In this dream, the family car had just been stolen because of me forgetting the keys inside it and leaving the door open. I didn't like that. I just couldn't accept it. And that was enough. Strangely, all I needed to return to the lucid dream world again was not agreeing with the reality that was presented to me at that time.

And that was it. I was in the lucid dream world again. I was amazed to have it in front of me again: a different reality within my mind, a new world waiting to be discovered. It's difficult to describe how magnificent it all was, despite the fact that I was only seeing my dream room in that wooden house.

I got out of the room. My sister was there. She told me about the stolen car and started complaining. So, the first thing I did in that lucid was changing the reality I didn't like. So I told my sister: "The car was NOT stolen." With these words, she stopped talking and leaved. I couldn't believe it. It worked. My words came true the moment I said them.

I went to another zone of the house. It was a living room with a big screen TV. All my family was there, happily watching TV. Amazed as I was, I just stared at them, enjoying how real they were. I started laughing nervously a little, thinking about the possibility of telling them that it was all a dream. But I just couldn't do it. This alternate reality just felt so real I felt it wasn't fair to destroy it for my dream family. So I didn't say a word but instead I noticed a big window in this living room that let me see outside.

A beautiful park was outside my dream house: a lot of trees, extremely green grass, and everything looked like it just stopped raining. I thought about heading to the door to go into the park, but then I thought: "why don't I just pass through the glass? It's a dream after all " I touched the glass of the closed window with the tips of my fingers. Just like everything else, it felt as real as windows and glasses of the waking world.

But I just had to push a little to start crossing through the glass just if like it was a layer of thin ice. Amazing. There was just a problem: I started to think about this too "logically": "the park I am seeing is too far away and it's BELOW me because I am in a second floor. how will I reach the street?". As if reality itself tried to help me, the park started to distort as if it was trying to reach my extended arms. I gave up. I backed off and returned to the living room.

My family was still there. They didn't notice anything. Just two seconds later I woke up.


So, This lucid may have lasted just a few minutes, but it is still one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. Thanks for reading my dream. And remember: never stop trying to have a lucid dream. You will make it, and it is all worth it.

Today, I had my first lucid dream.

I had just been in another dream and was in a dark, mysterious room thinking about it.
I was slowly walking towards a huge glass window, which took up the entire wall opposite to me.

Suddenly I began thinking, "Hey wait.. What if this is a dream.
I should reality check". So I plugged my nose and and did an RC.
I could breathe!.. However, my dream consciousness believed this was normal..
So I was not yet lucid.

All of a sudden, I realized something was strange.
I looked out the huge glass window and EVERYTHING was underwater!
All these amazing colors, lights and calming ripples!
Across from me was a hotel building, built on the sand of the ocean floor.

This is when I realized I was dreaming.

As soon I became lucid, a faint, peaceful song was playing in the background.
After a few days of searching, I found it is almost identical to the first few seconds of the song "Lisa Miskovsky - Still Alive".

I was way too excited, and things began to become hazy.
Things were swirling very fast, and I was losing the dream.
I tried rubbing my hands together to attempt to stabilize the dream, but when I opened my eyes, I was looking at the ceiling of my room..

Today I had a lucid dream induced through binaural beats. It was Such an awe inspiring feeling. It started off with my family in my brothers room , as we watched a movie. Something odd happened, to which my little brother mentioned that I should (somewhat jokingingly) reality check. I looked over at the clock and couldn't tell if it was 6:55 or 5:55 because it was to far away, I almost figured that that was good enough, but decided I'd walk over to the clock-which was on my computer- and make sure. The clock changed! This is the second time where the clock I'm using to reality check in my dream 1: was a logical time, and 2: only changed by a minute, going back in time. Again, lucidity washed over my body like a wave, making me smile. I remember in my dream think how clear everything around me was, but can't really remember even ten minutes after waking. I immediately asked my brother if he was my dream guide, for the second time in a dream, and he replied in a somewhat rushed or maybe annoyed way "yeah uh sorta," or something like that. For some reason, that didn't really excite me, because I immediately started heading down stairs. As I was leaving I heard him quickly giving me a chain of advice. This the third time this has happened to me, and I need to listen next time!! Downstairs, I passed by a plaque on the wall, not reading all of it. It had in order the layers of a lucid dream, all the way to the deepest layer. I wish I would have read it further, or completed a LD goal in this dream, but I didn't recite my goals before I went to bed, and didn't remember them. I think it's also worth noting that this is like 99% of my other lucid dreams, starting in my house. Anyways, moments after I walked passed the plaque, I could actually feel that amazing feeling of awareness leaving my body, almost like a drug wearing off. I turned as passed by the plaque again, but this time it only said some cheesy saying about family values or something. Soon after I woke up. Either way, this was one of my most enjoyable lucid dreams, and sorry if there's typos I'm tired...

DILD + SP

what an amazing night. I swear I recalled each dream from seam to seam as they transitioned. In the middle if the night I had a dream where I was walking through my school. The school didn't look the same, and there was an unusual amount of light streaming in from all of the windows. This is the second time I've been in my school, which makes me want to start maping it out after reading dreamviews recent cartography thread. Anyways, I decided I might as well reality check, and found I was in a dream. I turned to go down a hallway and saw a friend at the end (Tabitha) I ran down to go see her and was deciding what to do first when my dream sort of melted away. I had dreams after this that I remember well, almost like when I have valerian root capsules before I go to bed. In one of these dreams I was jogging through a cool dark humid forest, watching red and yellow light stream in through the woods at a distance, I'm not sure if I technically gained awareness here because I felt a certain amount of awareness in all of my dreams tonight. It was at this point I decided to admit to myself I was dreaming, and weirdly enough, entered sleep paralysis from there which was awesome. I wanted to get into a deeper state before I tried to move or roll out of my body, but slowly over time I was being dumb and worked my way out of it *facepalm.

On a side note, I won't grade my short lucid dreams on clarity lucidity ect.
