Okay here we go. After months of not lucid dreaming, I have gotten tired of not having dreams.. I am going to have lucid dreams again and i will have to start up this journal again.

Tomorrow there should be a sort of dream recall anyway..

I had some problems with recall during this week, mainly caused by sleep schedule changes (most days I had to get up earlier, and the alarm screwed up my recall).

9/12, 14, 15, 17 and 19

Nothing.

Metalinga! fanzine

I made a Heavy Metal fanzine with some friends, the Metalinga! Fanzine. It had some Metal albums reviews and a lot of crap. Despite being a fanzine, the design was very professional, with full color pages and amazing graphic work.

Big IAC

I go to IAC (Instituto Argentino de Computación), an institute where I go to PC repair and LAN management classes. But this time the classroom was three or four times larger., and looked like an old train station. I am with a lot of classmates (in the real class we are like 10 students only) and the two teachers, Mariano and Matias (the last year teacher). Mariano is gossiping with my classmates about Paparazzi, an argentinian tabloid (WTF?), and Matias is finishing a program to the next assignment. I go with to help him (He's a bit confused because Mariano started to make the files but He can't find them). He tells me: "This will be your next homework, but I can't find It". I saw an icon called "pipa" (Mariano always calls his programs with names like that), so I told hin I found the batch file (we always work with .bat files).

Fake SD

I am playing a First Person Shooter with my brother and a misterious guy. Somehow, I manage to survive pretty well, and I give a tough fight to them, but then, things start to get harder. I must start to run away more and more times. The "map" was pretty big, like a megamansion, and I ran away across the entire playable area several times. But later, I am going through undeground stairs, and i appear in my grandma's house (It is right next to my house). All looks very realistic, I know I am dreaming. Suddenly, a woman appears next to me. She is quite good looking, with blonde hair, beautiful eyes and a gorgeus body. She gives me a bunch of pirate DVDs and says "take your Black Metal DVDs". She disappears.

I woke up (really), and decided to continue the story, I DEILD'd back to the dream.

Now I am back in my grandma's house. I watch the DVDs for a while (They were amazing Black Metal live shows), but then, I woke up (FA). My grandma comes very scared. "Matias, go to see what's happening to your brother". I know what happened, but I don't understand why. It's related to the shooter game, but I don't know how a SD could be scary for my brother. He is in his bed, covered with blankets, sweating alot, like posessed by a demon (the "demon" of shared dreaming?). "Well, this is quite confusing, I'll wake up". And i woke up.

To start this, firstly I define the first layer as reality, second layer is your first dream and the third layer is the dream beyond that ect.. Beginning the dream, I knew immediately what I had to do. It was myself and three of my friends two males and one female in the group. My friend had these white pills and told the group that they would help us 'escape reality'. I don't take drugs at all in reality, so myself accepting this I knew I was dreaming, rather than control it, I went along with my conscious. The four of us proceed to a public bathroom in a remote campground, somewhere in the high desert, there is pine trees but it is mostly desert chapparel. Inside the bathroom we enter the shower room. We all disrobe and then take one of these pills each...In the second layer dream I instantly fall asleep

I awake to find myself in a third layer of a dream, with the same group of friends somewhere in the distance. I am in field, at the north end they are playing soccer with a seemingly infinite amount of balls that keep flying off into the forest, at the south end of the field they are playing basketball w/ soccer balls (again seemingly infinite). I walk towards the north field knowing my friends are up there, the people playing their games give me very intense, angry looks (intruding on someone else's dream?). I reach the north field and the female in the group has become a close high school friend of mine, we talk about how well the pill is working (this is extremely strange for me as I am concious of my choices from the second layer). The dream at this point begins to feel like a reality, and that the second layer was the 'dream', and that I had taken this pill and woke up into reality (however I was really in the third layer). The dream progresses, I begin to get extremely angry, frustrated with the fact that I don't know what real and what isn't. The four of us friends then meander out of the field and down into the forest, where a clearing appears and a crowd of people are watching a bunch of vehicles. We join them, and its a bunch of cars with faces talking (very much like the Disney Movie Cars). Then mater from the actual cars movie comes out and starts talking, at which point I realize it is a dream and I become extremely frustrated and angry. I take off in one of the vehicles and start driving down the road. Suddenly we are in a caravan of cars transporting some important person. I know my friend (one of the male friends is behind me) and I am sick and tired of being in this alternate reality and I want out, I pull over off the road, make a 9mm gun appear in my holster and I shoot my friend in the head, knowing that it is a dream and that it will be alright. I know now that the rest of my friends will not be happy with this and that likely and hopefully I will be shot in return, thus escaping the third layer via death. I turn my back to them and start walking away, holding my hands up high and flipping them off. I receive 3 shot gun rounds to the back, it hurts, it conciousely and ligitimately hurts in the dream...I keel over on the ground bleeding my friend then walks up "dude what the hell were you thinking? We were enjoying this world"...He proceeds to shoot me in the head several times..I take it..it does nothing but hurts immensely...I dont die...I scream to him "why can't we escape this world!?!" He helps me up and we begin to walk into a campground. We reach a three way intersection, there is a picnic table, a trashcan and a pine tree, to the north is a trail of unknown destination and to the left I remember is the bathroom where we had originally taken the pills and woken up in the third layer. We head back to the bathroom only three of us though, as I had killed my one friend (somehow he stayed dead). In the bathroom we took the pills again my friend said something along the lines of a word "hypnocrint" (perhaps the name of the pills in the dream?). I awake to find myself back in what seems like a familiar setting, it feels like reality, it feels like I was never sleeping. my three other friends are still there, the fourth returned, and we are in a kitchen this time with a door on the south and one door to the north. I hear children in the room to the south, distraught and still confused about reality (although this second layer I had awoke back into seemed like one-hundred percent reality). I debate whether it is reality or not, I begin to make a sword appear in my hand for the purpose of slaying someone for the 'test of reality'...I realize then that this is wrong and immoral, the sword dissapears as I trick my concious into believing this was reality.. I realize 'o my friends brother and sister are home I don't really want to deal with them, so I'll head through the north door..I open the door and his grand-parents are in this other room and begin talking with me casually 'crap I don't want to talk with his grandparents'.
The alarm sounds, 7:50am. Finally I am in reality, inside my college dorm. I had never been concisouly in and out of dream layers like that before and never have had difficulty escaping a layer, I felt trapped in the 3rd layer and it felt like weeks that I was down there.

Time: 3:00am-12:30pm

I awoke to my alarm several times, I woke up naturally one time, and got into a full blown SP that was quite the rush.

SP Description: As I laid there trying to do a WILD, I got this rushing feeling throughout my body, I started hearing stuff, and also I got some HI. I kept entering the void, and coming out. It felt as though my body was in free fall, the same feeling I get from going down on a roller coaster. I found it kind of hard to breathe cause my chest felt very heavy. Then at one point I saw this window with a dream in it, but it faded, then I must of fallen asleep as I entered a fascinating, but scary dream.

Description: I had a couple of normal dreams, then I got into SP and ended up in a really weird dream, where I was being hunted by this zombie/human. This person was able to speak clearly, and didn't have trouble moving.

Dream 1: I walk from the New Sub, to my house. There are a bunch of kids in an old charger. I walked up to the car, it had leather seats, a modern dashboard. It had a sunroof, which I opened. The car was orange, inside it was black. There were about six of us in it. I get in on the left side closest to the window, and the driver takes off. He starts speeding through the neighborhood, at the end of the street he has to turn right, so he spins the car a full 360 degrees, I say we are going to die nonchalantly. He continues, we see a cop car at the stop sign, and he passes and speeds past the cop car. The cop never gives chase, but we end up around the block and we all get out of the car. We walk back to my house, and this girl comes up and grabs my hand, she is about my height, black hair. A nice body, but she is kind of emo, but I don't care. She takes me to a hair salon place made for the emo haircuts, she sits me down in a chair, and a hairdress that has crazy black hair starts to mess with my head, making a couple of shave spots, tries to dye my hair black. I insist she stop, but she won't. She keeps telling me to trust her. Now my hair is completely ruined, or so I think. I then see my future self. We are in a scene, were I am going out with her, and we spot a person she used to like. But that guy has a girlfriend. That dream ends.

Dream 2: Now I am in my basement with my brother Jarred, we are sitting playing video games. He asks me a pot related question, but I don't answer. He then asks me if I have a pipe, I say no I don't, nor a bong. He then gives me a pipe, and some pot to go with it. He hides it in this white plastic case. He then tells me never to smoke alone, but to smoke with others. Also not to get caught with it. He leaves. Now the scene is I am outside, nighttime, I am with my brother Josh. We are walking down towards the New Sub, and I ask him if he wants to smoke out. He says sure, so I rush back to the house into the backyard to find my dad awake. He is looking for something, I am not sure what, but I say something along the lines of it having grass that catches fire, and makes an explosion. He says yes. I go inside and the case that has my stuff in it, is in the kitchen. My mom is talking and the kitchen has a lot of stuff in it it. So I say I will look in my case for whatever they are searching for. But I keep getting interrupted by my parents. I finally grab the stuff, and then I walk outside, I look at the pipe and its very small, it has a dog design on it. I can't find a lighter, but I wake up.

Dream SP: Okay it is night time, and I am in this giant field. I can see a broken down cabin in front of me. But I am on a fence at the top. So I jump over and cross over a dirt road, I then begin to climb the second tall fence, but I hear a voice behind me. It said "I am going to find you." It is a man, about average height when I look at him. So I struggle to get over the fence I am on now, but do so, just as he starts looking for me. The fence changes a wooden pick fence. I can see my shadow through the cracks, but the guy doesn't notice, I was just about to get down, but there is a giant dog laying there sleeping. So I swing my way down the fences, and he steps through the gate of the fence, I jump back over the fence I was on as the guy walks towards the wooden cabin. I wake up, but it was incredibly vivid. To bad I didn't WILD into it. I had the SP and everything, but it wasn't enough.

Lucidity: 5/10
Vividness: 7/10
Length: ~10 Min.

Lucid Dream #6:
I was in a giant open area and there were buildings, I don't know how I became lucid. I found out that this girl named Maddy was in a small locked room because she would hurt people if she got out. I had the key. Somehow she got out and she was wearing her school uniform, from school. I almost gave her a key. It looked like she wanted it so I wondered what would happen if I put it close to her. She slowly tried to grab it, wondering if I would give it to her. I took my hand away and said "no" she also said "no" and shook her head. They got her back in her room and I walked off. I wanted to know what was in my mind. So I walked away from the left of her cage and thought about trying to find Jake, my friend. But I decided that it was too complicated and found some guys yellow house. It was so small you couldn't even sleep in it. So I busted though his front window and he told me that he got it for his birthday. Then I looked down and found out that there was a roach crawling towards him. So I got out and looked around. Everywhere around me looked like sand and rocks. So I started walking again. While I was walking I found out that I had a lazy eye. Of course it wasn't real, but I still could. Somehow I ended back where I started, with Maddy. Then I started to wake up. So I took the few seconds I had and calmed down. When I woke up I didn't lift a finger. So I started to lucid dream again. I did my first successful DEILD.

Lucid Dream #7:
In this dream I didn't start out where I left off, I started out in the desert. But there weren't very many buildings. A few seconds into it and my eyes started to hurt, you know when you keep your eyes open for long enough they start to feel dry. That's what happened. I wondered if my eyes were still open? There was no possible way to know. I tried to wake myself up a few times but it didn't work. So once they stopped hurting I calmed down. So I started walking, somewhere and decided that I wanted to try sex again. So I wandered around and found out that I was in a swamp. I found a girl but she was ugly. So I carried on. I tried to make people appear by expecting them to but they didn't. I suddenly appeared in a forest naked with some other guy. He was naked too. For some reason he said he could use snippers for his dick. So I looked down at mine and it was long and skinny. I was like "It's more thicker than that." Then I could tell that I got a boner in real life because I felt all tingly and my dick became it's proper size. Then I lost lucidity and the dream changed. The End.

Date: Aug.22/23 Sunday
Time: around 8:40 am

Description: To start off I want to explain something. I had this as my very 1st lucid dream to date that I can remember. I had another more lucid one right after this with more details and events and more control, but I will post that at a future time. Most of this is straight out of my dream journal by my bed. I also apologize if it doesn't seem like there weren't many details, the dream really only lasted about 1 minute.

Dream: The dream starts off with me looking at a stack of ps3 games and on top of them are ps2 games, I can't remember any of the titles but I think the very top ps2 game was NHL 2003. As I look at the stack I rotate them to see their spines. The games are sitting on my wooden brown desk at the center. I am sitting on my knees on the ground, and I notice my nephew on my computer struggling to play the ps2 games (pcsx2 for anyone that knows the program). So I tell him to move over so I can go to set it up. He gives me this look of frustration as he looks at the clock in my room, which I think (he never tells me, but I assume) that he has to go soon, that him and his dad are leaving. I tell him "Chill dude, it takes an hour to setup anyways." As I look at the screen and see some text, the text onscreen seem to shift and shake (that could of been my eyes, kind of like the shaky vision you get from drinking to much alcohol) and strange runic symbols appear. At that precise moment I yell out "HOLY CRAP, I AM DREAMING!" My stomach goes to butterflies and I get really excited. I fall backwards, and the scene starts to zoom out, I get the feeling you get when going down hills on a roller coaster, and now I am in a black void so to speak, I instantly remember the spinning technique that Laberge created. To re stabilize the dream, it works for a moment as I zoom back into the dream, I notice someone was sitting to my right, the lights were off and the glow of the computer screen was the only light source, I don't know who this third person was, my suspect is my nephews younger brother. I don't know. Now I zoom back out as soon as I touch down in the scene again but I kinda of lose consciousness so to speak. Now I imagine myself spinning, now a new seen appears where I am high above a city with lots of buildings, they all have a purple glow about them, I can tell it is night time, cause I see the windows have lights coming from out them. I am above the city, but again lose consciousness again (I mean everything turns pitch black) and I shoot out of my real bed, it takes me a moment to collect myself as this was the most intense thing of my life.

Other details: One extra detail I need to say, is once I went lucid, the feeling of being there was so real, except for it feeling like my body was kind of heavy or light, gravity on me seemed way different.

So there it is, I hope you guys have comments, I am interested in what you have to say about the experience, and it was an experience cause I really was there, it wasn't a memory of a dream, I was there!

PART 1 - ANOTHER DREAMING DREAM FRAGMENT

Essentially the same as yesterday. Had a fragment upon waking, something to do with dreaming, but lost it.

ANALYSIS

Slightly concerned I may be developing "lazy" mental habits upon waking.

Will try using the voice recorder on my MP3 player tomorrow. If I find that at all effective, I will likely invest in a proper voice activated recorder.

Will also try using a customized online alarm clock (http://www.metaclock.com/) to wake, setting it to open up a YouTube clip of the sound of rain (http://youtube.com/watch?v=k0gsduLrfSU).

While falling asleep last night, there was a moment that I felt may have been the very beginnings of a WILD. It began kinesthetically, feeling myself move through a narrow path of tall grass. I think this may be the result of doing my meditation in bed, and deep relaxation becoming associated with that position.

PART 1 - DREAM ABOUT DREAMING

Had something to do with dreaming itself...

ANALYSIS

This was right on the edge of my mind as I woke up. I tried to hang onto it, pull it back into consciousness. Felt so close... but faded away.

Type: regular dream.
Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

I was in the art room of my school. It was a large rectangular room with white brick walls, solid light gray flooring, and large windows paneling along one of the long walls. There were very long desks going from one long side of the room to the other. On one end of the room against the shorter wall, there were plastic tubs and black racks with students' artwork, scrap paper, scissors, and possibly anything else you could imagine. In real life, our art teacher isn't that organized, and this reflected somewhat in the dream.

There were many students sitting in chairs at the desks; some I recognized and others I didn't. We were making feather cutouts out of paper at first. I was at a desk too; one of my friends was sitting across from me. I had to get some more tan paper though, because I had accidentally cut mine too much with a pair of scissors. I went to the back of the room where the artwork and scraps were, and I saw one of my friends cutting a certain size of paper with the paper cutter. I needed to use it, so I stood and waited for her to finish.

She turned around and handed me one of two pieces she cut, smiling a bit but not saying anything. "Thanks," I told her and started to head back to my spot.

I must have gone down the wrong row, because my friend was two desks away from me. She waved and mouthed something like "over here". I pointed underneath the desk and rolled my eyes, popping down underneath it, and then ground-hogging back up on the other side. I did this twice and I was back at my spot; half the class was laughing. When I was underneath the second desk, there was a sudden, random flash of the Game Boy Color logo.

Once I got back to my desk, I began to hear people talking about lucid dreaming. They were discussing induction techniques as I colored in the edges of the sheet of paper with brown to make the edges of a map.

Note: These were just fuzzy dreams, I failed to write them down because they were so small. I am not sure what day I had these on, I'm not sure if those are even in the dates up above.

-WILD Camp-
I had this fuzzy clip I remembered after a day or two, which seemed to be a dream. I was in this room with a ton of DreamViews members, or so it seemed. Most of the people seemed unfamiliar. There was a bed in my line of vision. Someone was laying down on it, like attempting to WILD I'm guessing. Someone was bending over them; either whispering to them or examining them. The room was a little dim. A saw a few more beds behind the first one, but they were blurry.

-Dream FILDing-
I saw this image in my head a few hours later after waking up. It was like I was walking past a guy lying on his stomach in his bed. He had his right hand under his pillow, and it looked like it had made a small cave under it. He apparently was FILDing.
