96: 5.16.10; 9:43AM Suburban Garden. (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm at my picnic table with both my sisters when we see a basketball team walking by, the players on each others' shoulders in three-person stacks. My dad waves us over to follow them and to watch them play a game, so I run over toward them.

The dream transitions slightly, changing the environment to a suburban scene with a great deal of plant life and shrubbery, lit up by the bright morning sun. On my way following the basketball team, I dodge into a small concrete garden/park to sit and think, knowing that I'd wanted to get lucid (but not yet aware I'm dreaming). When I sit down, I close my eyes and realize I'm lucid, feeling the great warmth of the sunlight on my face.

Some people walk by me and I get taken back into the dream's plot when I run into a man from the group and start a gunfight with him. He falls against a small iron picket-style fence, where he dies, dropping the gun and saber he carried.

94: 5.14.10; 9:15AM Part 1: Flying Consciously. (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I become lucid in a dream and am flying through space, past beautiful magenta and indigo nebulae, each surrounded by floating, glowing words. I go in for a landing, and come out of the dream.

Note: My plans tonight included having a DDO dream with Tigress, meeting up with Walms so he could play games with L, and meeting up with MoSh to talk to his guide. I have actually been losing motivation to keep trying for a WILD… I decided to take a break and just go to sleep. So I didn't try for or get a WILD.

I was in my house. I was sitting and watching television with my mother. I looked at the show on the screen. It was about these people who had learned the secret to flight. Flight just through the power of their minds. It looked very simple to learn, too. I wondered if I could learn it… I decided I had nothing to lose by trying. I told my mom I was going outside for a bit. She asked me to bring the mail in. I grabbed the remote for our gate and went out. I tested the technique a bit. (No, I don't really remember the technique any more… ) I found I was being able to fly a bit. It could really work! I found that idea amazing! I quickly grabbed the mail… a lot of junk and bills… and took it to my mother. She wasn't impressed by the mail. I told her I was taking a flig… er… walk. She said fine. I went back outside and flew more. I managed to get into the air completely. It worked! I was flying! Yay! (Um… possibly a good time for a RC here? )

I started flying over the desert down below. It was beautiful. Flying felt wonderful. Just as good as it ever had been in dreams. (RC here? ) I was gliding along and I decided to go faster. I flew faster and faster, it was way fun! I finally slowed down. I looked down at the desert below. I saw something strange. There were a lot of cactuses together. It looked really weird. Like the cactuses were forming a building of some kind. I flew down to take a closer look. I had found something interesting… I was looking around the cactus building, looking for some sign of what it was. I found an entrance and looked inside. I then jumped about ten feet in the air as someone behind me spoke.

"You do know you're dreaming," Spike said, "don't you, luv?"

"No! I can fly in my waking life now!" I was so excited to be telling Spike this… so excited to see Spike IWL… Wait a minute… Spike was in the sun! Vampires can't be in the sun! "Spike! You're in the sun! Get into this weird structure of cactuses, into the shade!"

"Come on, luv," Spike said, "You know the sun doesn't affect me any more. It's been forever since that would work. What you need to be understanding is that this is a dream. Go on, do a reality check."

I looked at Spike for a bit more. A reality check? But if this was a dream that would mean I can't really fly… which would suck. But then again it would be a fully lucid dream. Ok. I did a RC and found out I was dreaming.

I looked at Spike for a bit longer. I said the fact it was a dream certainly explained a lot. I had goals to accomplish since this was a dream. First I was going to find Walms. I focused on trying to locate Walms. It felt like he was close. I turned to look into the structure of cactuses. I saw someone in there. I couldn't see him very well… was it Walms? I moved a bit into the cactus structure. The man I saw in there looked at me, fell on his ass, and then disappeared.

"Wait!" I called out too late, the man was already gone. I looked at the spot the man had vanished from, wondering if he might come back. I didn't see any sign of him. Ok… try again… locate Walms. I opened a portal this time and went through it. On the other side I was in someone's bedroom… I could hardly see anything. I felt so disoriented… so dizzy because of my strange lack of sight… and it was so disorienting that I lost the dream and woke.

This was a fragment from early in the morning. I was super excited when I woke up because I had at least made a successful DILD!

I was in a tent on one of my side streets. I was walking round, the tent allowed my legs to go through. I thought that it was really weird and shouted RC!!! I pinched my nose and found I could breathe! I was dreaming!

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to sleep at 1:00 AM, I woke up from the following dream at 9:00 AM

I was standing in the assembly hall of our school. I was holding a stand up comedy show. I had a sidekick, I think it was an animal, maybe an insect. He was making all the jokes, I didn't talk at all. After a while I looked at the clock twice. It changed when I looked away. It was an analog clock, not digital. I realized I was dreaming and did a nose pinch reality check to make sure. I could breathe. I thought about my goal to be more aware in my dream. I listened to the sounds and I felt the texture of a pole. I was more aware than during most of my lucid dreams, but not as aware as in waking life. There was a pile of coca cola bottles. I took one. Later I threw it away again when I saw a vending machine with ice tea. R. was standing by it. I pressed the rather large button a couple of times A 1 liter carton of non carbonated ice tea came out, I was hoping for the carbonated stuff, but I took it anyway. I went through a door and came in a store of sorts. I walked around a bit and I came to a department for sex toys. While I was there I wondered whether or not I should write this in my dream journal and publish it, well here it is. I continued through the store and entered a dark corridor. Deprived of any stimuli, the dream started to fade.

I managed to stay in the dream however by spinning. I was in a room with a bed. The dream wasn't very stable. The room changed from a realistic view to a computer animated view a couple of times. The dream was a bit more stable now and I looked at myself in the mirror. I saw a naked female. I'm male by the way. I exited the room and found myself in a corridor. I wanted to find my dreamguide. To my right I saw a open door leading to a stretch of grass. I went through the door, it was raining. I was still naked and I felt the rain on my body.

I wake up.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at 1:00, woke up at 9:45 to recall the following dream:

I was at a small castle which I and some other people had to defend. We were outside the castle grounds, which we couldn't enter because there was a wall around it. I looked at the towers with those weather vanes on top. They were pointing towards the enemy. Outside the wall of the castle were small buildings through which we walked. We sneaked up on the enemy. We were standing at a corner, with the enemy on the other side. We charged the group of about six soldiers. I went for the back of the group. It wasn't a battle to the death, more like a game. We had fake weapons. I hit some enemy and took some hits myself. After a while, when I had taken enough hits, I played death, because it was a game.

There's a gap in my memory here, I don't know how I got to the next part. Maybe it was a different dream altogether.

I had ice hockey training inside my living room, I never play ice hockey by the way. Apparently I was going to be the second best ice hockey player in the world, and this was some kind of flashback. There was ice on the floor. I had a hard time skating. My left knee was on the ice for a while, while I skated with my right foot. We were wearing orange-black ice hockey outfits. The training ended and I sat down on the couch. The coach tells me to take more hits, referring to the castle battle.

There's another memory gap here.

I was sitting behind my computer. I was starting up a game of the castle battle the beginning of the dream. I remember to write down notes from my dream. The game was in a menu, so I didn't have to pause it. I took a paper and a pencil from my desk and wrote down notes on my dream. I wrote about the orange-black ice hockey outfits. Despite the game being in a menu, it continues anyway. I saw some kind of scene from God of War. I wondered if my computer could run that game. Kratos was standing on a bridge, looking over some buildings. Somehow I thought that I drew the scene on my computer. I wondered how I could've drawn that so fast. This made me do a nose-pinch reality check. I could breath and became lucid.

I still wasn't convince however. I looked around the living room and kitchen, but I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. I did another nose-pinch and I could still breath. This made me more certain. I walked a bit around the living room thinking about my goals and what I should go do.

I edited this part out, to preserve my privacy. If you knew what it was about, you'd understand. I'll try to not do it too often.

Lucidity gradually slips. I go downstairs, through the front door. As I walk through the garden I come across a football team. I greet all the players, who greet back. I go to the left and to my left are a bunch of tuned cars, with their owners close by. I touched the spoiler of one car , the owner makes a comment on this, I apologize. I continue walking down the street. There's a motorcade going on. I had to avoid a bunch of cars coming at me. I moved a bit to the left. There's a big crowd. I move further down the road, which makes a turn to the right. There's lots of confetti and smoke. There's a commentator saying that V., a teacher from my school who past a way a year ago, got a bunch of confetti over him. There's a strong wind blowing. I use it to jump up a 2 meter high wall. I look over it. Then S. tosses me, which makes me go even higher. I come back to the ground after a little while.

I wake up.
