Red = Lucid Dream
Blue = Dream

On Sunday (20-05-2012) I had my first real lucid dream since joining DV. It was also the first lucid dream I actually did something in.

I woke up in bed still having my body and half of my face paralyzed, I decided I wouldn't move and go back to sleep. Moments later I found myself waking up in the bed of my childhood home. I did a reality test (pinching the nose and breathing) and decided I was dreaming. The dream was really fuzzy and I forgot to stabilize the dream but I had some time to do things. I decided to walk to the bathroom where I would find a cute girl. On the way to the door I bumped into some electric guitars. There must have been 20 of them. I knocked a few over but didn't feel concerned as this was a dream anyway. I then got to the bathroom and found the cute sitting on the floor in darkness. Then the dream faded.

Again I decided to stay still and go to the next dream. The first image was one of two poorly rolled joints, I used my concentration to turn them into one well-rolled joint. As I lit it and took a toke a room materialized around me. It was a living room with two couches and a TV and an open kitchen. I recognized two friends, but there also was a third unidentified person. I did a reality check and then one of my friends started talking to me. Intuitively I knew he was only talking to me to distract me from having a lucid dream to I interrupted him and said 'Hold on'. I stood up and walked to a window, opened it, choose a part of the night sky to fly towards and jumped off. The flying was really cool, I felt as if I was being pulled towards the area I was focusing on. The night sky had more stars on it than I had ever seen before, it was amazing to watch. I decided to fly into space so I banked up and watched the stars fly past me. I decided I wanted to make space more psychedelic but my attempt failed and looked more like white paint thrown on black canvas. The dream faded and I woke up.

This morning (23-05-2012) I had another lucid dream. It was a wb2b. I found myself walking through a town street with red brick buildings everywhere. I knew I was lucid but did a reality check anyway. This time I did so some things to stabilize the dream. I rubbed my hand and started focusing on the world around me. On the wall of a church I found a brick with a blue-glazed square on it and a circle indented on the middle of it. I decided to focus on the brick and send my consciousness closer to it so I could fly through the minute details of the brick. I felt myself flying, as a speck of awareness, towards the brick and I started to have a real good look at it. The blue square disappeared and I found myself back in my body.

I decided to do something else and imagined a group of hot women waiting for me inside the church and I was going to have a sex ritual performed on me. There was a door near me in the side of the church and I walked in. There was a large group of attractive women and I thought this couldn't go any better, but as I got closer to the altar I saw a lot of my family in the crowd. I sent out a mental message for them to leave the church and everyone except my aunt left. When I told my aunt she had to leave she became confused and started asking me why and telling everyone how confused she was.

I became lucid at the start of the dream, but my body felt slightly distant. I was in a large walled garden, the walls in question being two stories tall and having buildings built into them. The grass was vibrantly green and the sky a pastel blue. I looked at my hands, and the dream became more vivid. I then remembered about dream spinning, and so promptly span twice on the spot. The increase in clarity was amazing! I could feel my heartbeat in my chest due to my excitement. I remember someone talking to me, but I ignored them and flew away. The dream then changed.

I was then riding down the main road of my town on my moped. I wasn't wearing any protective gear and was driving like a complete pillock. Still, it was very fun Here it was raining, and I could feel the cool touch of the raindrops on my exposed skin. I eventually got to the entrance of the high street and dismounted. The traffic seemed to have just stopped, with some people gathering near me to see what I would do. I decided to try some powers, and felt a change of weather was in order. I stretched my hands out in front of me together and pointed them palm first towards the sky. I then pulled my hands apart in a great semicircle. As I did so, the grey clouds receded with my hands and the sky behind was sunny and a beautiful light blue. Someone near me said "Thanks mate!", and several other people were looking with amazement.

I then lost lucidity, and have little memory of the dream that followed save for a few snippets. There was a robot factory, my brother, a large laser and the enclave.

[Basically i woke up myself with an alarm at 3AM for a WILD attempt, which failed. After this i was just sleeping, didn't even do a WBTB today]
[This dream happened at around 10:20AM]

I was just watching my family at a restaurant, as they were eating icecream and they acted like they didn't know me, it got me lucid.
At first the dream was kinda instabile, i could feel it, so i decided to do some RCs. This was the first time i tried the nose pinch RC in a dream, it worked interestingly well and it also stabilized the dream for a while.
I was at some kind of crossroads, which had a little grassy park in the middle, it looked like an interesting place, definitely not something that i've seen before.

My first thought was that i have no time to waste now [like i did in the last LD], so i decided to try and summon Lucy around me, to make it easier and faster to find her, just in case the dream would get instabile again.
I kept thinking that she is near me, to summon her and i was turning all around slowly. I could only see random people walk be in every direction in the park. At first i noticed a smaller girl coming towards me, but i knew that it's not her.
Then i thought that it won't work and shouted "Lucy!".
Just when i did this, i felt that someone gently grabbed my arm. I looked around and noticed a nice looking girl with blonde hair and some freckles on her face.
[I was confused, as her hair is supposed to be black and not blonde... but this wasn't the first time she changed her look. I was a little suspicious, whether it's really her or not, but i've got the feeling that it is].

She started talking:
- I'm here
I was looking at her in awe for some seconds, because i thought that she'll just attack me, but she smiled and was nice to me. Then i asked:
- Why is your hair blonde?
- Don't worry! /playful laugh/

I got a little calm and was happy that maybe she finally decided to be friendly to me and help. Just as i was wondering, we kept going as she holded my hand.
Suddenly i noticed that someone grabbed my other hand and forced it behind my back. I couldn't look around fully, but i noticed a girl looking exactly like Lucy, but with black hair. I heard some quiet laughter or something and started seeing dark flames everywhere as it tries to consume me.
[I didn't worry that much, i kept in mind that if she acts scary, i can fight her off, this is my dream].
I shouted to them "This is my dream, you won't do this to me!"
But just as i did, i woke up as i couldn't see anything from the dark flames.
[I went back to the dream with DEILD].

When i was back in again, i couldn't see Lucy or her clone either. I still felt like they are close, so i flew up in the air to check, but couldn't see them from there either.
It got a little dark in the meanwhile, i did some more stabilization as well. The first thing that popped in my mind now was that i could try doing the TotM challenges, as Lucy was gone already and it seems that she doesn't want to cooperate today. Then decided to try to find a well lit place, just to be sure.
Suddenly i found myself in our house, but i just flew through the window [through the glass, like usual] and landed in our garden. I wanted to try teleporting to the sports centre that is always fully lit, even at night. I did some attempts, but my eyes always unintentionally closed a little, so i decided that this is not good, i should think out a better teleporting style later.
[Just then i woke up again, but went back with DEILD again].

When i was back in again, i was now standing close to that sports centre that i wanted to teleport to, but it was daytime already. I kept the TotM challenge in mind. I noticed a bus coming by that had a lot of teenagers on it, i just knew that they were going on a tour or something. I flew through the back of the bus, and sit down inside.
Nobody seemed to notice me at first, so i just kept wondering which challenge to try first... I decided with the advanced one. I started walking slowly and focusing that my plushie shark would appear on the seat near a girl that i was focusing on. I checked, but it was nowhere.
Then i decided with doing the basic task, it will be much easier, there were a lot of people on the bus.

At first i wanted to make sure my body is safe, before i take over someone else's, so i asked a girl to take care of my body in the meanwhile and don't let it fall down or something. So i sit down on her lap and asked her to hold me. I got out of my body fast and easily, i was floating as some kind of invisible gas or something, it was really easy to move around. I looked around a little and found a girl who's body will be okay. [It was mostly girls on the bus, but i didn't want to take over a boy's body anyway].
I just flew into her mouth and the next thing i noticed that i was in control of her. The others were watching with surprise what i did. I smiled at them, making sure for them that their friend is gone, it's me now. They looked a little scared, but i didn't care.
I didn't really know what to do now, as i already took over a DCs body, but it would've been too boring to leave it at it.
So.. i thought about a little fun. I walked back to my real body, which the other girl was holding, and i climbed on top of it. It was an interesting and weird feeling that i'm laying on my own body... I smiled a little at this, then kissed my real body. I was laughing in my mind, but it felt good anyway

After this i descended back into my own body and jumped through the right side of the bus.
Interestingly, i was still in the same place where i entered the bus, like it didn't move at all. I was walking on the street a little, while some weird dog vaccination ads were popping in from nowhere, for some seconds i could only see these. When it was over, i took a huge car from the street and thrown it on another and i decided to stop the dream now, because if i keep going i might forget some parts.

[I woke up by myself, which might sound stupid, but i wanted to make sure i remember everything ]
[I had some more unintentional awakenings, but i could always go back with DEILD. I didn't mention each of them, because i just can't remember where exactly did they happen]

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening


(...) I was dreaming I was in Africa and I ended up in a farm owned by some white folks where I asked if I could spend the night. They welcomed me and took me to the stables, where part of the space had been adapted into a dorm. A group of young people were already staying in there and they showed me around. When the night fell, everybody became a bit anxious and rushed to lock all the doors. I could feel something evil lurking in the darkness outside. They didn't know what it was, but they all could feel it everynight.
Everybody went to sleep, except me and another girl who was talking on her cell phone with a friend. She got up from her bunkbed and fell down a hole that opened up on the floot beneath her feet. Then I could see everything she was going through as if I could see through her eyes. Down at the botton of the hole there was a kind of green plasma vortex and she was sucked in and transported to some other realm or dimension. There, two evil looking guys totally dominated her and said she was going to be the link to her friends on the other side and that they were going to use her to gain control of their minds through their dreams. She offered some resistance, but they did what they had envisaged.
Then I was back into my own self and I watched all of them getting up of their beds, eyes completely white and moving around like zombies. They seemed to be going through some process, like downloading info or reprogramming their minds, but I interrupted it. I woke up every single one of them and they couldn't believe what just happened. They were aware of it all the time, they just couldn't snap out of it without my help. They thanked me and then we started thinking how to rescue the girl that had been kidnapped.

I woke up and went back to bed in an attempt to WILD.

I had trouble falling back asleep so I got out of bed and reality checked but no luck. I gave up and went back to bed and let my thoughts wonder and fell asleep. When I woke up, these people are around me and I'm in a hospital bed! They said I was better now and I could leave when I wanted to. I thought how long was I asleep? I looked at my clothes and they were rags. I looked like a hermit or poor helpless hobo. I walked out of the room and then I remembered I was going to bed before this and was wondering what was real and what was a dream. I decided to reality check. I looked around and everything was crystal clear, no flaws anywhere. My hands were fine. Signs didn't change when I looked away and looked again.

So I looked at a small clock on a reception desk in the hospital and reached out toward it and it started shaking. I stopped and saw two people staring at me, "how did you do that?" I ignored them and started lifting pencil cups, papers and other small things. I then reached for a bench and I couldn't lift it. I then focused on one of the two people and tried to lift them but couldn't. I can't figure out why this is. I reach for the pencil cup again and it floats flawlessly. I give up and run down the hospital hallways and come across a big open basketball court. I practice flying around in it and then leave the hospital.

I go out of the hospital and into these city streets and fly up above it and observe. I see this massive city and the site is awesome. I then get an idea and fly back down to the ground, get a car, and drive it and try to pull the steering wheel up and it starts flying! I am now flying a car around the city at incredible speeds. I crash land back in the city and go to a theater. There is nothing going on but there is a lot of people there. I find these punk rock college students and they invite me to hang out with them and I decide to go since I was tired of flying anyway.

We go back to a place that looks like the hospital I was in and we talk about stuff and I show off my telekenesis. Then I found a ball and I started throwing it at some of them and then curving it with my powers and then they caught on and we all started throwing it at each other but when someone threw it at me I would make it stop in front of me and they would get mad at me and we would laugh, reminded me of that movie Chronicle . Woke up shortly after.

I was thinking about dreaming for a while without falling asleep. I tried following my breath and counting it by saying "this is a dream" on each breath.

First

I loose consciousness. I find my self in a room a moment later. I'm clearly more lucid than usually, although I do not clearly understand that I'm sleeping. I try flying, or floating upwards. First i just float a bit and stop. I gather my concentration and float trough the roof to another appartement, and on all the way to the top floor.

I stop in the top floor because I cannot imagine what going trough the foor would be like. I'm only dimly aware that I'm dreaming. I try jumping from the floor and pushing myself up using a windowstill and a bookshelf, but I always stop at the ceiling. I think I should go outside if I want to get higher.

I see someone on the balcony, apparently the owner of the appartment. I hope he doesn't see me. I'm not quite sure anymore how it was that I got the ability to fly, and think that I might be an invisible ghost. He sees me, though. Try to go out trough the balcony door, but he comes towards me. I hide in a small room and lock the door, but there is another door that opens to the balcony, and he opens it.

The man says something and I tell him I can show him something cool. I take his hand and jump of the balcony. He falls on his back four floors below and I land next to him. I try flying upwards again, and rise above the rooftops.

I land a bit farther away and try again. This time I cannot fly very high, but putting my hand forward like the Superman helps me fly forward quickly. There is a store in the second floor and I wonder about this.

Second

I take a kid to a daycare and talk with the people there for a while. I go outside to do something, don't remember what, and come back. The daycare workers have some sort of a filosophy that they like to explain to everyone. I don't feel like talking about it too much, that kind of people get upset too easily. Instead I walk around and look at the interesting decor the daycare.

Cyborg Roger at a basketball gym
I wasn't lucid until I got to the gym
So this dream was very short but I remember it in good detail. It started in a school hallway like I was in high school again except there weren't many people in the halls I didn't know, mostly people I sat with at my lunch table. As they went into their class rooms I had no idea why I was their so I just kept walking down the hall toward all the chatter of many voices I heard at the end of the hall. I then saw one of my friends Roger but he wasn't his normal self.

He had two floating mechanical arms instead of having arms and half his face was robot with a red eye. His arms looked just like Mega man Juno's from Mega Man Legends like in this picture:


When I saw him I was impressed. "Dude your a freaking cyborg!!!" I said. He replied "I know isn't it awesome?!?!" Then he said he had to get to class and left.

I kept walking toward the noise and walked into the basketball court area and it looked like a church event we would have (I realize now that I have many dreams now with this kinda scene). I went straight to the basketball court and saw my cousins and some church friends playing basketball. I played a little bit but then the gym made me realize the dream.

I saw the great view of the gym and it made me realize I was dreaming. When I realized I was dreaming everyone started getting sleepy and passed out on the gym floor and this wasn't just a few people, it was at least 30! I found this rather strange but continued with my dream. I walked around the gym avoiding stepping on anyone and I looked back again at the gym to see the view and take notes of anything odd to note for next time so I can compare those details to reality. It was only strange in the sense that lights seemed to have a glossy effect on everything and shadows were more defined.

I then started messing around right as people started waking back up again. I would grab a basket ball and shoot it. Then it was time to fly. I grabbed a ball and I had difficulty flying at first, but I figured it out after 3 tries. I had to jump and straighten my arms and legs and keep straight until I was at least 10 feet high and then I could float. I did some anti-gravity dunks and stuff for a bit and then decided to check the next gym. I did more anti-gravity stunts and then woke up.


Pirate ship for school contest
When the ship changes to a pirate ship, I am about to be lucid
This next dream started at my school. I had fitness for life class on a ship that looked like a medium sized sailboat. I had already taken the class so I didn't really follow directions I just did what I wanted. People would ask me questions and I would tell them what to expect on tests and homework. Then we had an urgent video announcement. We had a contest for Disney characters or something and ours was similar to Pirates of the Caribbean. It seemed our school had a real pirate ship to use and we were still losing badly because our college is a community college named after a town nobody knows... So we had to grab people's attention by sailing the ship around Lake Conroe. The video showed the captain and I asked why is their no Willy Wonka character? Then on the video I saw someone who looked like me do cart-wheels down some stairs and crash into a garbage can... I didn't recall doing anything like that. Everyone said I was the first mate so I believed them.

The ship suddenly became a pirateship without me realizing it and we were about to set sail. As we were getting ready, the captain wasn't happy about his ship. It had water in the hull and the crew wasn't too bright because we all were just college students.

As I went to the helm I realized it was a dream from the sight of the ship and the fact that there are no pirate ships on Lake Conroe.

We set sail and I drove. We were on the lake for what felt like 30 minutes when we had to dock for supplies. I saw a spot but all the water around the docks was dried up (which is about right because here in Texas we got that major drought that lowered the lake a bunch). I parked it on dry land next to the dock and I had an idea. The captain was mad and said now what do we do wait for rain like idiots? I said watch this men. I flew up way above the ship and looked at the sky and raised my hands and rain clouds started to form. I said let there be rain but it didn't work... I tried again but not enough rain was happening. I said maybe I need God's help, I said God I need your rain, our ship isn't going anywhere and I really need your help with this one. It didn't rain and I decided to try one more time and it did and I thanked God for the rain.

I came back down to the ship and everyone was pleased with my work. We sailed around a bit more and then I remember getting to be leader of the crew while the captain slept for the rest of the dream. I docked the ship again to pick up more crew because we knew that we were short of labor and I did some more flying around the docks until I woke up.

I have never had two lucids in one night before. Awesome

I had originally attempted a MILD that night but instead I got a DILD. Lucid part is the bottom half.

Hot-Rodding on a kid's bike.

Starts with me dad Jake and uncle Anthony and his three sons, my cousins. We were on a road trip to Colorado, but the car was too full so one of us had to ride a Big wheel kids bike like this one:



I rode the big wheel kids bike, they drove.

They said to meet at steak and shake and I had no clue how to get there... I drove on the road at about tire level but that thing was as fast as any car I passed! I felt this mad rush and was swerving in and out of the traffic for a bit and then I made it to steak and shake. When I got there, I saw them at the bar counter with shakes and empty food dishes. I ordered some food and a shake. Then everyone got up and said we had to go now or we will be late! So I got on my stupid kid's toy and took off. I took off and tried to figure out where I was going until the roads started getting stranger and stranger like going around and through buildings and ending unexpectedly until I was dodging people on sidewalks and jumping over stairs.
I crashed.
I looked up from my crash and my bike was destroyed due to its entire lack of durability being all plastic... I saw a tourist bike stand and I ran over to it as quick as I could to the asian behind the counter and said I NEED A BIKE HOW MUCH? He said, um thatabe about three hundred dollah. I said okay and handed it over. I grabbed a purple mountain bike and got to riding. It wasn't as fast as the big wheel lol
I then saw my group pull into a meeting hall and I parked my bike next to them. I walked inside and there was lots of people but I didn't know anyone there. After that something odd happened and then I got a video call from an unknown source.
The kingdom who claimed me as their king

I got a video call on my phone from a kingdom saying I was their ruler and they needed my help.

I rode the bike there and when I got off it looked like Endor in Starwars but with halo reach forge stuff in it. Everyone was referring to me as king and all said that some monsters would be attacking us someday and we would be defenseless! I promised to find a way to protect them. While I was there I looked around for something to help but got nothing and I made some new friends with different interests. One wanted to be a mage, one a warrior, and one was kinda shy and wouldn't talk that much. Before I left they gave me a black crown to wear and wear it I did!

Our kingdoms was defenseless and needed weapons. I was now on a quest to get the weapons. I went to this huge dome-like building that appeared to be a barracks of some sort and the front entrance looked like a hotel lobby. I went around some hallways and into the dome and there was some people training to fight, some practicing magic, and some floating in the middle of the stadium, talking to each other.

The site of this giant room was amazing and at that point of astonishment, I realized it was a dream.

I looked at the floating guys who looked like teachers to the people in the dome. They wore robes with symbols on them. I flew up to them and said I need weapons for my kingdom what can you give me? One of them said I was not worthy of anything here because I was weak. I said well then watch this I threw a fireball at a target on the floor below me. They laughed and said, there is nothing I can do that they don't already know from a spell book they have read before. They all raised their hands and had fire on them and then they lowered them and ignored me. I said well then what book taught you this? I raised my hands and lightning shot out around my hands and I made the sparks increase bigger and bigger until I waved them away and they were all amazed saying things like, "it cannot be" and "that's impossible" and "how can someone not trained in the arts know so much?" I then said, okay. Where are your spell books and weapons? He said I can't have them but I said you don't want to test me. He said nothing so I started launching fireballs everywhere and then all the people training started running around and fled while the teachers in the center of the dome said STOP THAT'S ENOUGH!!! Fine take them they're down their and here is our best spell book.

I flew down saw the books and some glowing weapons (must've had enchantments lol Skyrim).
After I put everything in a bottomless bag, a teacher walked up to me and said you wont destroy us will you? I actually wasn't thinking about that but then said well, this is a dream so, you don't exist. It would make no difference if I destroyed this place or not. He seemed puzzled and told his other professors what I said. I then looked back and held up my hand and it started glowing aqua colored and a ball of lightning energy constructed in my hand brightly. I threw it into the center of the arena and jumped out of the dome action movie style as it exploded and I could see people running outside.

I went back to my kingdom and encountered monsters underwater and some other monsters but I hardly remember that part it was so wierd and hard to explain. Crablike monsters, underwater ruins, and some other stuff but it was quick and not really fully memorable. I remember flying back to the kingdom afterwards.

When I got back to the kingdom, I announced I had our solution.

I left the pile of weapons and books with the people, and I gave the best weapon to my warrior friend, I gave another weapon to the other friend, and I took the best spell book to my friend that wanted to be a Mage. She freaked out and she opened it and we looked at some spells trying them out before I woke up shortly after.

So the other night I had my 4th or 5th Lucid Dream. I was sitting at the local library outside on steps that aren't there in the real world, the library was also in a slightly different location. Across the street is an old school that i went to for 2nd grade, it is now currently my bus stop for high school. The school was in the right place. As I looked at the school i realized that something wasn't right.



That is the school. Now imagine at the top of those stairs there are 3 ancient greek pillars rising from the top of the stairs to the top of that arch. I thought this was kind of weird, i looked away and then looked back and noticed one had disappeared. I also thought this was strange. So, i decided to look away and look back once more, at this time there were no pillars and i thought to myself, i gotta be dreaming. So i performed a popular reality check by pushing my finger through my palm and then i became lucid. I used verbal commands to stabilize the dream. I said "stay dreaming stay dreaming..." over and over, it worked quite well. I decided to exert some control and tried to summon the hottest girl from my school. It did not work, so I just continued through my dream. I walked up the road and all of a sudden my vision went completely black. I tried to open my eyes but I opened my real life eyes and was awake. I then lied there thinking exactly what i was saying in the dream, "stay dreaming" I quickly found myself back in the dream right were i left off. Then I decided to attempt to control my dream again, i tried to fly and failed. So at this point I decided to try and change my dream scape. I thought "I want to be in front of my house" It didn't work, however i tried it again but spinning 360 degrees at the same time and it worked, I was standing in front of my house. I woke up shortly after this.

Hello im going ot use this website to write up every lucid dream i have

I had my first one last night but it was very strange as i was only lucid for about 10 seconds but here it is:

I was at a competition at my school it was some sort of dancing one and i was helping out backstage and suddenly my friend walked up to me and said how he was my dream sign this then confused me and i decided to do a reality check and i dont know why but i said if i was dreaming then i can breath underwater and suddenly i appeared in the sea counted myself in and dived and then i could breath!!!!

this then made me aware i was in a dream but then i was like oh no im going to wake up and that was it

after waking up i had realised i was face down in my pillow and me trying so hard to breathe under water had made me nearly suffocate myself in real life but i am so glad that it has only taken me about 6 days to have my first lucid dream even it was for only about 10 seconds

Type: DILD

before i start, I wanted to make a dream journal that showed the earliest stages of LD, so that people who had succeeded once wouldn't give up, because it takes time to get good

This dream i had a lucky break. I dreamed I was reading about lucid dreaming on my iPad (). As I scrolled up and down the page, the words started to change. Perplexed, i stood up and preformed the breath through nose reality check. and it worked! as excited as I was, i forgot to stabilize the dream. i went to my window and noticed a garden that wasn't actually outside my real house. I closed the blinds and willed there to be a desert when I re-opened them. When I did, there was a different garden outside of my house. then i sneezed, and a gallon of snot came out of my nose, and I woke up.

"First Night at Dream World Academy"

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
(Ironically, I had almost forgotten this dream, upon waking. I'd gotten sidetracked, and it wasn't until a good 20 minutes after fully waking up, that I remembered the experience. Unfortunately, sooo many of the details feel lost (), but what I retained still left me with a feeling of total accomplishment.)

I don't really remember anything that happened in the beginning of this dream, and my timeline is a little disjointed, but I will put it together the best I can remember. The earliest memory I have is of having just realized I was dreaming, and trying to fly, somewhere out in the woods at night. I was having a lot of trouble flying, and I seemed to just be sinking back to the ground with normal gravity, whenever I tired to take off. I don't remember the point at which I actually was able to take control of my flight, but I was soon zooming out toward the coastline, having remembered my intention to try to find the Academy. The last few times that I had been searching for it, it was always on the water, so I figured the best way to find it was to just fly out over the ocean and will it to be there.

I overshot the shoreline, without pause, and continued out toward the dark horizon. The sky was this eerily-beautiful canvas of black, dark blue and purple, with the lightest colors having been pushed back beyond the coastline I was leaving; the last rays of setting sunlight behind me as I continued flying into the void, a few dozen feet above the water. The further out to sea I flew, though, the more uncomfortable I got. I could see that this deep, featurless, dark purple backdrop was beginning to project some detail in the sky. I could now see, thick, individual whisps of soft, purple/gray storm clouds, where there had once seemed to be none. (With my speed and low altitude, it felt a lot like the scene in Superman Returns, when he's flying out toward the kryptonite reef.) By this time, the sky was looking even more and more ominous, and I couldn't shake the foreboding notion that I was flying into something sinister. The puffy purple clouds - still barely visible against the dark backdrop - were beginning to swirl, and I half expected to see funnel clouds spike downward from them. Just on the horizon, I could see sporadic flashes of lightning on the water. I didn't like this at all. It's not secret that I'm pretty apprehensive about being way out in open water, in my dreams - because of my constant run-ins with sea monsters - and I realized that I was now out in the middle of nowhere, with no Academy in sight. More than a little intimidated by my new surroundings, I decided to turn around and fly back to the shore. (I have to go over the St. John's River Bridge, every night on my way home, and we've been having some pretty amazing-looking thunderstorms and cloud cover out here, lately. I'm thinking it might have been where the intense storm imagery over the water came from.)

Soon back on land, I began to think of other ways to find the Academy, and I remembered about the portals. At first, I looked around for any of the puddle / water-hole type puddles I had been using in previous dreams. When I didn't find any, immediately, I thought about doors. I began wandering around, going through various doorways and trying to 'will' myself into the Academy. Behind one door, in particular, I walked into the setting of a previous dream from over a year ago. It was a theme park that some friends and I had gone to for a Halloween Horror Nights type of occassion. The room that I had walked into was the lobby of one of their haunted houses. I remembered previous dream and that it had been pretty creepy, so I really didn't have any desire to stay here. When I turned around, though, the door that I had come through was gone, and I was standing in the middle of the haunted house lobby, with no sign of the wall that had just been behind me. A little uneasy about this - trying not to get distracted from my mission - I searched around for another door, spotting a little service door in the corner of the lobby. I walked over to the door and opened it...only to find another door, behind it. Behind that one, was another. I was beginning to get a little fed up with this.

I closed the door and focused on changing what was behind it. When I opened it again, the other door had vanished, and there was a dark, stone hallway, leading off into the distance. There was a soft light inside the corridor, but I don't recall what from. Stepping further into the hallway, I saw an opening on the other side, leading out into the night. When I stepped through the archway, I found myself outside, on the water, as if I had stepped out onto a concrete dock. I walked out away from the archway a bit and turned around, to get a good look at the structure from which I'd just emerged. It was a monstrous, stone building. It seemed a series a buildings, really, comprised of high towers and ramparts, various points in the seemingly-mideval architecture connected by high walkways and bridges. It looked like a great, dark castle, from down here. Immediately, I knew where I was; I had finally made it to the Dream World Academy! I walked along the narrow dock for a moment, looking for a main entrance. It was still nighttime, and it didn't look like there was much more than the moon lighting the outside of this place. Eventually, I came to a turn-off, and rounded it to see a gigantic stairway, comprised of what looked to be hundreds of steps, ascending toward a large set of double doors at the front of the Academy.

I started climbing the stairs, taking in the spectacle, and just now beginning to notice that there were other people milling about the outside of the building. Everyone seemed to just be doing their own thing, and not paying any particular attention to me, which was fine, because I really didn't want to disturb too much, my first time here. I just continued to watch everyone, while I walked up toward the doorway. About halfway up, I passed a small group of people on the stairway. It looked as if they were practicing magic or something, but I don't quite recall. When I got to the large doors, I stepped inside and into a main lobby. Inside the Academy was nearly as dark as the outside; the soft glow of a few, scattered torches fighting against the cool blue of the moonlight coming in through the windows and portals around us, for possession of the black shadows which still dominated the majority of the what could have been adequetely called a 'Great Hall' of sorts. The whole place had a very Harry Potter / Hogwarts kind of feel, outside of being quite dark and having a very 'pre-electricity' atmosphere.

Unfortunately, there is a lot beyond this point that I don't remember. Nothing too noteworthy, that I can recall. I vaguely remember just wandering the halls, talking to a couple of various DC's about the school, most of which were just practicing a few general abilities, here and there. I remember a portly old bald man being one of the instructors there, but I don't recall very much about him. The last memory I have of the dream is being out near the water again and trying to run back over the events in the dream, as a normally do, to try to help remember them upon waking.

I was in a dark room where people where being brainwashed into doing bad things. Me and my friend managed to escape and he dissapeared from the dream for a while.

I was captured and was then taken back to the room, to be brainwashed. I resisted for as long as I could but in the end it got me. Basically there's a light that shines down from somewhere and a woman's voice says stuff. I left and bumped into someone, then I became semi-lucid, I started to fly around like Movie Ironman as thats the only way I can fly.

Then I was chased by that man all around my area to the park.

Dream One:
"Lucid Juggernaut"

The very first thing I remember is sitting on a couch, during the day, with a few friends. Without warning, a thunderous banging noise came at the front door. Someone apparently had a battering ram and was trying to bust into the house, while we were inside. Immediately, we all scrambled, taking up our guns and preparing for a firefight. However, with the loud banging becoming more intense, some of us were able to see just how many people were out there...and how many guns they had. We were not about to stick around and be slaughtered, so we all bolted out the back door, scrambling through the neighborhood and catching faint glimpses of hundreds of these heavily-armed thugs, raiding all of the houses in the neighborhood. We were being fleshed out, and our territories were being seized by this faction.

Before we were able to make it out of the neighborhood, we were cornered by a patch of these thugs. I don't believe we had our guns anymore, and they ended up robbing us for everything we had in our pockets. We could do nothing but stand there and fume over how we were being humiliated by these goons, and how helpless we were. After cracking a few jokes, they sent us on our way. However, after a few short steps, I finally realized how crazy this situation was. I figured out that I was dreaming, and I couldn't be more ready for revenge.

I turned around, mid-pace, and began walking back toward the thugs, whom had just robbed us. I didn't care how I did it, (or that it really didn't matter, because this was just a dream), but I was about to get our damn stuff back! Lol. They all watched me as I approached, waving my hands back in my direction, and yelling at the armed men to bring it on. Accepting the invitation, they all started firing at me, simultaneously. At first, I began to let the bullets just slam into me, while I continued walking toward them. I had to clentch my fists and brace forward, because they bullets were actually a bit painful, but I tried to just push the sensation out of my mind, while I stalked twoard the men. When it finally became too uncomfortable, I took to catching most of the bullets in my hands, which also stung, but was still effective. However, the men just continued firing, and even with a good level of lucidity, it was beginning to get a little overwhelming. I was still having a good time, though, watching them sh!t bricks when they saw how they couldn't really stop me with all that firepower.

An idea came to mind. Focusing my intention to use a little telekinesis, I brought my hands in front of me, fingers curled toward on another, as if I were palming a basketball. With the men continuing to fire away at me, I drew all of my attention to the empty space between my hands, and 'willed' all of the bullets to be drawn to this void. The bullets immediately ceased hitting me, and I could literally see them being collected, in this empty space between my hands, as if there were a powerful, invisible magnet floating there. (I had gotten the idea from the Mech Suit scene, in the movie District 9, where the Mech used some sort of technology to catch the bullets in mid air, and collect them into one, floating spot.) Then, once I had a good mass of bullet heads collected in this space, the men finally stopped shooting. They stared at the hovering bullets with awe, and were obviously loss for words. Smiling, I quickly flung my hands out in the direction of the gunmen, launching the spent bullets out of the space between my palms, like buckshot from a gun (which is also what the Mech did, with the bullet tips, in the movie). It was just awesome, and I'm surprised it worked, so effortlessly. The first wave of thugs dropped like stones, and more moved in from around the neighborhood. I basically ripped through them all, using their own weapons against them, but eventually losing lucidity. I was able to keep the control for a bit, but the bullets began to take their toll on me, and I could feel myself dying. Still trying to fight through the sensation of having my energy drained from me, I eventually had to succumb. I ended up dying in the street, seeing myself in the third person as a female friend from my group clutched me and cried.

(There was a strange transition here, that might have been a completely different dream, where some girl, that might have been the same one, was going down on me in a public place. I remember being lucid here, for a moment, but still a little embarassed that people were watching us and walking right by us, even though I knew they were DC's.)

The dream then transitioned again (or there is just a lot I am missing), and I was now in some scenario where I believe I was a police offer. I had lost my lucidity again (but, again, I don't feel like it was a separate dream). My female companion from earlier was still with me, and she was acting as my 'partner'. We were in some similar situation to what had happened back in the neighborhood, in that we'd set up some kind of presence in this huge, multi-level office building, but were run out of it by this larger faction. This time it was more of a shadow organization with lots of money, modern security, and lots more firepower than even the thugs from earlier.

Having failed our first confrontation with these new gunmen, I remember us walking back out toward the parking lot, pissed off at having not been able to bring the group down. Once again, just on the verge of retreat, I realized I was dreaming once again. My disappointment instantly turned to mischeivous glee. Without saying another word, I reached into an open trunk and grabbed a handgun and immediately began to storm my way back into the tall office building, and up the stairs, toward where my squad had just been forced out of. I don't remember much of the battle, but it went pretty much like my rampage through the neighborhood, with guys emptying clips into me, and me just refusing to go down. I remember a specific corridor, where I tried shooting my gun, but it was just like a BB gun, and not doing any damage. Annoyed with this, I walked toward the nearest shooter - allowing his bullets to rip into me, on the way - and proceeded to try to pistol whip him and the guy next to him. Unfortunately, I got that 'sluggish' effect, and was not able to get any power behind my swings. The more intense the fighting got, the more I could feel my lucidity slipping in and out. I remained lucid enough to remember that I had died, during the last rampage, and I became anxious about whether or not this would happen to me again, now. I was able to survive this time, though, keeping myself calm instead of allowing the energy-draining sensation to creep back into me. Once I was done having my fun, I walked back down to the rest of my team, completely unharmed, but still riddled with bullet holes and bleeding from every inch of my body.

(There was another transition after this, which might have been a different dream, but I don't really feel like it was. It didn't really tie in with the theme from the previous, though, so I will just label it as a separate fragment, even though I'm admittedly not sure whether it was a seperate fragment, or just a continuation of the dream.)

Dream Fragment Two

I was with JH, and we were leaving my house (which was actually the house where the ex and I used to live, years ago). My mom had just come home (though she didn't actually live in that house with us, in waking life), and I had to break away to speak to her for a moment. All I can remember about talking to her was catching her on the front porch, and seeing that she was wearing a very nice, red dress, and really long hair.

Yay, recall is back in the house, I'm very happy with these dreams!

Vividness:8
Recall: 7

Non-Lucid Lucid Comment

Heading down an empty narrow road, it's winding through the night like a snake, I am in a new white car, and my mum is sat next to me. Switching from 3rd person to first person and various angles in between I feel like I have no control, yet the car remains perfectly on the road, taking each corner with grace. The drivers seat is on the left side, which is strange because in England it is normally on the right. I am in dialogue with myself, taking about how I can't drive a car, only a motorbike, and I'm very worried about crashing. For some reason I'm driving the car with my head stuck out of the window, like I shouldn't be watching the road through the windscreen.
The road starts to become inclined, I see a sharp corner ahead, and drive straight through the metal barrier, into the sea below.
Underwater, I turn to my mum, and say half hearted:
"Should we go back to the last checkpoint?"
She disagrees and points out a underwater cavern nearby, it looks kinda creepy, but I shrug it off and we decide to head here.
Appearing in the carven, I observe my surroundings. The room is very tall and old, I can barely make out details of the upper staircase. The floor is most and covered with large broken tiles, but its not hard to remain standing. There is a cornered staircase in front of me, heading up to a room which is brightly lit.
Realising that my mum is here too, I turn around, she looks very nervous and tells me not to look to either side of me because of the skull monster. I'm not too bothered and turn my head, instantly a hooded figure is right close up to my face, a skull appearing from under the hood.



I'm startled not scared, she tells me that we have to go to a ceremony up the stairs, so we decide to go up the stairs, I occasionally turn my head back laughing at the skull!

The room is brightly lit, and reminds me of a church, we head to a seat at the back of the room, I am joined by my brother and sister... and the random skullman.

We are told of a lost diamond, that we perfect in all ways, and the size of a mans fist, I am taken to the front of the room and asked to find it.

Outside, everything is nice and green, lots of plants everywhere, I am dressed in armour, with a large two handed sword which is magnificently polished.
I head into the forest, and look for the diamond. (loosing detail here) I manage to find the diamond, it's huge, I can barely hold it with one hand. I hide it under my cloak.
My brother (who looks nothing like my brother) comes and talks to me, I tell him I found the diamond, swinging the sword in a playful fashion.
I lead him inside to the church like building, but the diamond has gone, I ask my friend Ali where it is, he looks very happy with himself.
He tells me he as the diamond, I ask for it, and he holds out his hand, and there is a tiny version about the size of a pea.
"I shrunk it so people can't find it", but the diamond has lost its beauty and I am disappointed.
Fade.

Dream.
I wake up and stumble over to the bathroom, I remember that it is a dream, but I am not sure, I think it's a dream because I remember falling over and smashing my head (?), and that has caused me to enter a dream. I try multiple RC's but they all fail, I look in the mirror and attempt to change it, nothing, I look down, look up, everything is black behind me in the mirror..."I'm Dreaming!"
Running into my bedroom, I hear someone singing upstairs, I decide to try some vocal commands by saying "Mute", the voice instantly silences. I conjure a mirror on my closet.
And look at myself, I look normal, slightly blurry. I want to have a medieval theme, so I say "armour", close my eyes, and open again, and I am clad in some armour. I want to be more heavily plated so I say "more armour" and I am a living tank!
My dad comes up the stairs and I hold out a hand and blast him away (we had an argument that day, lol).
I fade out into blackness.

I am in a shopping mall, when drinking lucosade, I decide to eat loads of food, and become fat.
