I am on a beach somewhere and grabbing fossils and other unique rocks from off the sand. I find some really great specimens, such as rocks with leave imprints and others with garnet and agate chunks. I'm in a great mood. I eventually fade out of this dream and "wake up" in my bedroom. I feel my body lying on my mattress but I don't open my eyes quite yet. It feels like I'm holding a few rocks in my hands and this really perplexes me. At first I think I'm just imagining the sensation, but I realize I'm not when the feeling of the rocks doesn't fade away. Next, with my eyes still closed, I reason that I must have sleepwalked to my rock collection in the middle of the night, grabbed some rocks, and climbed back into bed with them. But I disregard this theory because I never sleepwalk. I open my eyes and look at the rocks in my hands. One of them is rectangular-shaped and has a layer of garnet, layer of limestone and a layer of darker rock all in one. The other rock is a gray, round fossil with a leaf imprint in it. I realize that these were my specimens from the dream I just had! I am awestruck for several seconds, but I soon reason that I must be dreaming. I look at my hand and see that I have six or seven fingers. I'm in a false awakening! I look around my room and am very impressed with the detail and its accuracy in representing my room in waking life. I jump out of bed and from a distance, I look at my reflection in the mirror. The mirror is projecting a close-up of my face and a view from above me. I walk closer and my face starts to get really fat and disproportionate. I laugh at this. I open my door and right as I step out I wake up for real.

(Side Notes)
Lucid

(I am just going to post some small fragments from a dream I had last night and the day before.)

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

- I was brought to a semi-dumpy psychiatric hospital. I remember screaming and crying because I knew they were going to do experiments on me and use pills isolation to try to alter my mind and personality.

- I was in a medium sized dorm room, except my bed was in a rectangular nook area. I looked to my side and saw a black guy laying in the bed next to me and I remember asking: "They let boys and girls stay in the same rooms together?" then I said how I didn't mean that in some perverted way. He smiled and said yes, then went to sleep.

- I was in a large office. A head psychologist who I'd been fighting with off and on about treatments was talking with me when I guess I collapsed and was coughing up blood and blood was also oozing out of my head. I remember him saying that I had some sort of infection and that the only way to get rid of it was...for him to find a dried up hornets nest, pee on it then shove it in my mouth??? My P.O.V was like I was watching a movie, then switched back to first person view where I noticed the hornets nest in my mouth and yanked it out. I started screaming how he was crazy and I remember (as if I had another body) thinking that he felt horrible about what he was doing and was scared I was going to die.

I don't remember much else from that


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

- I was on a plane full of people and someone had a gun. They were going around picking people to shoot off and I eventually got shot int he shoulder ( I think ).


---------------------------------------
(From the 16th or 17th, I believe this was...)

- False awakening. I woke up in bed, looked around and came to the conclusion that I was dreaming. I did the "poke finger in hand" RC and it worked. I plugged my nose and I could breathe, so I decided to move onward. I walked through my house and out to the car where I drove into town (which changed to a complete different town) and ended up waking up for real a few moments after.

I got my first Lucid Dream last night! Yesh!
Okay, I had 2 FAs:

I found myself in my bed. It was dark, so I turned the light on. I'm sitting in my bed, and suddently I remembered, that I had to do a RC. I blocked my airways, and tried to breathe.. And I was breathing!! I became lucid. I saw how the light became brighter, but my room wasn't so vivid. I could feel, that I had got too excited, and that I probably would wake up soon. I wanted to do something funny. I pushed my hand through the wall. It was so weird, it was an amazing feeling! I laughed.
I "woke" up in a castle. I was alone. I wanted to tell someone about my LD, but I couldn't.
And then I woke up for real.

And danced my chandler-dance!

I just had a lucid dream about an hour ago. And it was from RCing with my watch. I woke up at 5:00 or 5:30 and remembered just 2 dreams, did not try very hard. They could have been the same.. Anyways, went to the bathroom and wrote them down. The did MILD as I was falling back asleep:
I said to myself that I will have a lucid dream and I will remember it and I will be aware in my dream and know its a dream over and over and over
Then thought of one of my dreams that I just woke up from and looked for the dream signs in it. And if I thought of any other scene I would think "this is a dream" and slowing go back to just telling myself I will have a lucid dream.
It took awhile, but finally fell back asleep. I'm hoping that this all might help out another newbie searching around on the forums. In the dream I saw my brother and thought "I see him in my dreams a lot, maybe I could RC everytime I see him". So I RCed and the seconds were messed up, I thought "no way". Everything was so real, I saw the sunlight on my arm and watch, and then I looked back at my watch and saw all the numbers were messed up. During the day, whenever I RC I try to truly and honestly consider whether I am dreaming and kinda imagine my watch messing up. Which I think really helped. Anyways, I thought "Now Isaac(my name), cool it, don't get too excited" and remembered to stabilize the dream its good to spin and go to a new scene. So I started spinning and closed my eyes and thought of my bathroom. Then I thought if I open them I might wake up in my bed, and I was not sure what to do, and kept spinning, then I smacked my hands on the counter in the bathroom just before opening my eyes and found myself in the bathroom. I looked in the mirror, did not see my reflection, did not want to try for fear of waking up and I saw the window was more square as apposed to rectangular in real life. I opened the door and looked out in to the hall way and thought of how real it looked. I walked out and into the dining room and thought "I gotta try flying and get outside!". So I went out the door, ignoring that it opened in the opposite direction its suppose to. I tried flying and thought "well wow this is dull and boring and not near as fun as I thought it would be" then I noticed I was still on the ground. So I ran around to the front yard and heard a radio and thought I was starting to wake up. Then my dad was walking towards me and I had a false awakening and thought I had slept walked to the front yard. As my dad was talking to me, I saw a black dot above a mound of hay or something and and wondered if it was a kittin, it was and it meowed and walked to me and it looked and sounded real. Another one and Miles(one of the older cats) came. Then I woke up for real.

Well hope I helped someone and thanks again guys for your replies. And I agree with Arch that WILD is not a good idea for, I think, newbies like me. Every time I tried, it did not work and I tried so many times.

Lucid Dream

I actually don't even remember how this dream started because it was sandwiched in between two non-lucids.

It started like I was watching a movie. There were all these flying robots that were flying over LA to do something. I was seeing them as if I was flying through the air with them.

For some reason I became lucid (probably the flying). I was sitting in this small flying car that was a bit like a kayak because I was out on top holding on to the sides using that to steer.

I spent pretty much the whole dream just flying around in this little car enjoying the ride. At one point I thought, "Now what were next month's tasks?" Then I remembered it was not next month, and I shouldn't worry about trying those just yet.

I tried to focus on details as I was flying. I could feel the wind through my hair and hear the wind in my ears. Very very real. My mind did a great job of making the wind stronger and louder as I turned and swooped.

Then I saw Disneyland in the distance. I wanted to fly there. I headed toward it. Right as I was getting close to the Matterhorn, I could feel myself start to wake up.

Now this is what I found most interesting in this dream. I felt myself wake up. I was even seeing what I thought was my real life (FA) but I was able to pull myself back to the dream, and focus back on the feeling of the wind and of Disneyland in front of me.

This happened several times


until I finally got to the point where I thought I was fully awake and not able to go back to the dream. Unfortunately it was another False Awakening. But I was so intent at this point to run to the computer to write it down. I was surprised to find that my computer had been taken down (but not so surprised as to become lucid again.) and for the next few minutes of dream I was just trying to find a way to write the LD down. Because that happened, I don't feel I have the details on this LD as well as some of my other lucid dreams from the past.

In fact, I remember thinking that in the dream I was hearing music playing. But I couldn't tell you now what it was But maybe it will come to me.

BUt anyway--another Lucid Dream!!


Edit:

I need to write up the conditions leading up to this LD. This was a sleep in morning. I had awaken at my normal time of 6:00. I knew I didn't have to get up yet. I got up and went to the bathroom and got a drink...and on a whim took half of a B-6 vitamin (50 mg). I was kind of cold. I crawled back into my bed and got under my wonderful micro-fleece blanket and my also wonderful big down comforter. It was so wonderfully cozy that I was able to drift back into dreamland.

I dream that I have sleep paralysis. I need to get up and check the doors and locks. I roll out of bed and crawl along the floor. I can feel the carpet, the walls and doors as I make my way around my apartment. I feel very heavy and lethargic. Every so often I feel my eyes open and I can see my pillow. I'm still in bed, but I can feel the apartment as I grope around to check the locks on the doors. I somehow know my body is moving around the apartment but my mind is stuck in bed. Maybe I'm imagining my movement around the apartment but am stuck in bed.

The whole thing was a dream, but I had several false awakenings in it. I would "realize" I was still in bed, stuck in sleep paralysis in my dream and then crawl around again to check the locks. After a minute, I would realize I was still in bed, unable to to really move. The whole process started over several times. It gave me a very paranoid and fearful sense of my situation, like I was in danger and unable to do anything about it. I felt unsure what was real and if I was awake or not.

Lucid
Non-lucid

My memory picks up walking down past an old friends house which lies close to the railroad. I eventually make it down to the house that sits on the corner not far from my own, and I am leaning up against a white car speaking to a man that was out walking his dog. All of the sudden the dog begins to speak, but in English, of course this startles me and I then ask the owner of the dog if he just heard what his dog said. He says no, and then we casually carry on with our conversation, at this point most of my focus is directed toward the dog while I am speaking to the man. The dog then says something else in English, and I try my best to ignore it. The dog then says another thing and this time there is no doubt in my mind that I am either crazy, or in the presence of a dog that can speak actual words. I begin to worry and I start to walk toward my house which is close by. Once I enter my house I then find myself sitting with two of my friends and my cat in my living room.

While we are talking, I am still thinking about the dog and the whole ordeal so going through various explanations I find that the only logical one is that I am in a dream. I then do the nose plug reality check and quickly find that I am in fact dreaming. I levitate my friend up to the corner of the room and I then set him down, then I levitate my cat around the room and set her back down on the couch next to my friends. For some reason I then get the thought in my head that I never went to bed, therefore how am I dreaming? I begin to question what happen to me in my waking life to induce a dream.

I go upstairs and I find my dad sitting at his computer desk within his room, I go over to him and ask him if he could attempt to wake me up. He says sure, and he goes over to my room which is across the hall and he looks as if he is moving something around in my bed, possibly me. He says that I am apparently not moving so I tell him to call an ambulance and I close my eyes and try my best to awake myself. It appears that it has worked, and I am within the confines of my own room. I then think that it could possibly be a false awakening and I then attempt to do another nose plug reality check. The reality check works, and I am once again aware within my dream.

I look at my dream room, and wander around a bit in awe. The room within my dream looks just like my room in my waking life, it was amazing. I looked out of my window, and then plunged myself through my window and into the air flying toward town within my city. Not long after I took flight, I awoke from my dream.

Okay so I had a lot of dreams and they were crazy.


- It was N's birthday so I drew him a picture and printed it on a bright blue t-shirt. The picture was weird and had like a hamburger and a dress on it and a bunch of other stuff. I took a picture of the shirt and sent it to him, then I realized I hadn't shown him the picture that was on the shirt yet, so I was like "oh I'll upload that now". He was collecting pictures of people's b-day presents for him and posting them on some forum, there were a lot. Later I was at the mall and thinking I should get a better shirt for the picture, and there was someone else there telling me I should.


- I was talking to N on facebook and he had posted a slightly annoyed status, and I posted a comment and added '<33' at the end even though it didn't fit at all. I was hoping it wouldn't annoy him but I was the 4th comment and all the others had hearts at the end too. When it posted though, facebook changed the <33 to a symbol of a heart with another half-heart attached lol, like this:

- Some evil guy had kidnapped N and me and a bunch of people and was trying to kill us. We were in this huge dark room and there was this big screen at the end that was like a portal we had to get to in order to escape. There were lots of obstacles and dangerous/painful things on the way to the portal.

At one point we were crawling on our hands and knees across chunks of metal on a slight hill, and a girl who was also there said a word I didn't understand. I asked her what it meant and she told me it meant crawling, and was like "it hurts if you do it too long". There were other words like that too, like the other people we were with were using a bunch of slang terms I'd never heard and they'd have to explain.

Then I was able to pause the whole scenario and draw new outfits for N and myself and then we would get them when we went back in. So I drew us these weird kinda futuristic outfits, and then decided we needed flying bikes, so I gave myself a lime green one and him a hot pink one.

Then it went back and we were in the room again with our new outfits and bikes. N was flying way up at the very top of the room which was really tall. I was really close to the portal, so I leapt for it, and right as I was about to touch it, it suddenly went all white, then had white bars across it, then shut off, and a booming voice declared, "PORTAL DISABLED".

The screen was on the side of a rocky cliff, and everyone looked up to the top of the cliff to see this horrible blueish sea creature/demon thing with a human face and head. The evil guy, who we couldn't see, was telling us that this monster was going to send us all through 8 challenges to be able to escape. I looked right into its eyes, and its eyes bulged way out and it shrieked loudly, and I saw this vision of how we all might die. I snapped back and realized it hadn't been real, then told N, who was beside me again, that I'd just had a dream about what was going to happen to us.

I don't know if we did the challenges or not, because the next thing I knew, it was all over and I was talking with N [again?] in a very peaceful nice field next to a pond. It was like watching a movie at this point; I saw both of us from a third person POV, though not very clearly, and I knew everything had finished somewhat happily and it was like a nice ending scene. My hair was in a bun with a weird round clip/tie and he had some sort of nickname for me.

Also sometime after it was over, I told him I had added the bikes at the last minute, and he said something along the lines of "hmm yeah I could tell, you should really stick to a theme" lol.


- Then I had a false awakening and "woke up" on the couch in my cousins' house, where I was actually sleeping. I thought 'wow that dream was really intense, I should ask if he had the same one'. [I did ask later, he didn't remember his dreams.] But then there was this thing where I thought maybe he was actually one of my cousins and that freaked me out lol.

Then my aunt was talking about how she could lucid dream, and I was like "me too!" I started trying to WILD, still in the dream, and managed to get partly into another dream a couple times, but kept getting 'woken up' by my cousins (not sure if I was actually waking up irl but I don't think I was). Finally I made it into a dream within the dream and was lucid in the new one.

I was at a shopping centre in my city near a movie theatre, and my aunt was there as well in her pyjamas, and it was just sort of accepted that we could and were sharing dreams. She ran off, and I walked around the corner, touching walls and stuff and inspecting them and doing RCs.

Then I thought of what I read in the School of Out of Body Travel book, about how it was guaranteed that whenever you stared at something very closely for a long time in a dream, it would start to warp and change. I stared at my finger closely for a while but nothing happened, so I started to wonder if I was really dreaming for a moment, but another nose RC confirmed that I was. Then I saw N was there [again :| get out of my head dude lol] so I gave him a hug.


- I then "woke up" back into the FA at my cousins' house, and they asked about the dream I'd just had, so I told them what happened. My mom then said she was making pancakes [she actually kinda woke me up irl to say we were having waffles lol so it got incorporated] and asked if I wanted strawberry, blueberry or both. There was a plastic cup on the table with a few halved strawberries and three fresh blueberries. I ate a large blueberry and it was really good.

It always catches me so off guard.
In the dream I wake up to check on a construction worker. He is on the roof taking it apart. I watch him for a few minutes. I ask him to come down and suddenly he is naked and drying himself with a towel as if he had finished taking a shower. He talks to me about some gardening work and then the scene ends.

I'm in the kitchen and the there is an old woman on the floor. She is asking for help to get up. I grab her hands and I try to lift her up.

I wake up to real life...

I was flying oin top of a windy field in a very non-vivid dream. The grass was swaying to the wind and the skies were VERY gray. I YELLED 'I'm DREA-'' and ''I NEED TO REALITY CHE'' with the last syllable of each word getting cut off. Soon i lost lucidity. (I'm not even sure i got it in the first place).

Soon i woke up in a False Awakening. There was thunder out my windows as loud as..... VERY LOUD!

Soon i woke up and there was thunder outside my window O_O

Okay, I should have written this down right when I woke up, since I can't remember much now, but it kind of disturbed me in my half-asleep state, even though it doesn't make any sense, so I didn't, lol.


I was on some kind of mission with E and K and possibly some others in this field area with paths through long grass. Something happened to K, she got hurt or something, and so I had to...put her inside these small pastry type things? They were spherical and about 3 inches in diameter, they reminded me a lot of risotto balls, the appearance and taste. When I looked at them I could sort of taste them, or knew exactly what they would taste like.

Anyway, I'm not sure how exactly I, er, divided her up amongst them, but somehow I had to put her in them in order to take her home and help her. :| It switched then to being in my kitchen with E and maybe someone else, and I was just taking the tray of risotto ball things out of the oven. I placed it on the counter and started breaking them open, and all of them had these weird black smudges in the middle. Then people started wondering where K was, and it slowly dawned on me that I was supposed to put her in them after I cooked them. Yeahhh.

Now at this point the scenario was sort of switching back and forth between it being K in the balls (lol) and it being my cat that I had put in there. My mom called from the living room, "I haven't seen Peaches today." D: I was getting really scared, though everyone else was still really confused about what happened, and I was desperately trying to think of an excuse or someone else to blame the incident on lol, but I soon realized there was no way I could.

I guess I had a false awakening sort of at this point, because suddenly I was in my room with E and L, telling them about the dream.


I woke up craving risotto balls and went and got some, even though the image in my head of them full of guts isn't exactly appetizing. :|

Non-dream Dream Lucid Nightmare Fragments False awakening Early awakening


The door bell - multiple false awakenings
This is one of my first anchored lucid dreams and false awakenings. Happened for about 6 years ago. I wrote it down

1. I wake up, the door bell rings, I rush out of my bed to open the door. I open the door, no one is outside.

2. I wake up, the door bell rings, I rush out of my bed to open the door. I open the door, there stands a someone I dont know.

3. I wake up, the door bell rings, I rush out of my bed to open the door. I open the door, there stands two girls.

4. I wake up, the door bell rings, I rush out of my bed to open the door. I stop outside the bathroom, for some reason. My jaws is pressing together and I cant control it. They are pressing together so hard that my teeth break. It feels really strange, very numb but I can feel them break.

5. I wake up, the door bell rings, I rush out of my bed to open the door. I stop outside the bathroom, for some reason. My jaws is pressing together and I cant control it. The are pressing together so hard that my teeth break. Now I get it, this is not for real. I most be sleepning. I decide to try to make my to closest friends appear outside the ringing door. I imagen them standing there. I look into the peek hole. Its not them outside, its some random people. I try again to imagen my friends. I peek and say to myself "what the fuck, hahah!" on the other side of the door stands an amish family dressed in old black clothes. A man, a women and their many kids. I open the door.

6. I wake up. Im still lucid from the last FA. Now before I go thru the kitchen to get to the door I imagen my friends in the kitchen before I enter. It did not work. Instead there is a lot of random people and the room seems bigger. I faint.

7. I wake up. Im still lucid. Trying to imagen my friends in the kitchen again. This time my mother is in the kitchen instead. I faint in slow motion.

The teeth thing, later became my main way to get lucid (I dont use it anymore). The good thing was that I was able to know that I was dreaming but it was a really strange and unnecessary way to do it


The door bell 2 - multiple false awakenings
Before this False awakenings Ive told my brother that he cant invite people over this weekend caus we already had to much parties at our place.

I wake up, the door bell rings. I am closing my window 'caus it full of ice and its very cold outside. Outside the door is people who wants to party.
The same thing happens about 2 more times until my teeth break again and I get lucid. This is the first time I ever try to fly. It took about 4 more false awakenings to learn. In the last one I fly inside my apartment towards the door.

Cant remember more.

My dream recall has seriously sucked these past few days. I'm blaming Cay who I have been inseperable from for about 3 days now. She's currently sitting next to me, creeping on my post and grabbing things with her feet. I'm also having falst memories. The first night she was at my house we went to bed around 4 a.m. I had a dream that I vaguely remember.

I was at some sort of gathering at the caves that I live nearby that are fairly popular where I live. A lot of people that I knew were there and it was hosted by this guy I used to go to school with and that my boyfriend is good friends with and lives near. L.G. and her boyfriend, J.L. were there, both drunk, both high. I'm pretty sure they went to fuck in one of the caves. That part of the dream was mostly due to the fact that she's told me about her and an ex boyfriend doing certain things in those caves that should not go on.

Anyway, a few of us, including Cay and myself went to go spelunking through one of the much smaller caves. It started off with about a group of 15 people and slowly dwindled down to me, B.H., and Aaron. When we were done crawling we ended up in a big domed area that was a dead end. All of us fell into the dome and none of us were tall enough to pull ourselves out. So, B.H. ended helping me and Aaron out of the dome and then we pulled him out. I blacked after that apparently.

Now, heres where the false memories come in. Apparently Cay got up earlier than me and went to take a shower. She told me that when she got up I woke up and looked at her. Then when she got out of the shower I woke up and I asked her why she got up so early, even though it was past eleven. She told me that it wasn't early and that we could go back to sleep if I wanted to. I said that I was already up and there was no point in going back to bed, then I started playing Animal Crossings.

I do not remember it that way. I don't remember waking up and looking at her, or waking up and asking her what time it was. I remember waking up and she was the one playing Animal Crossings and she threw the controller at me and told me to play. And then today, I don't remember anything about any of my dreams. And I remember waking up on the couch in my living room leaning on Cay, who was drawing, and Cay told me to go brush my teeth if I was gonna lurk that close to her. So I did. By the way, the title of this post is a conversation that just happened between Cay and her twin sister.

It was a false awakening. I noticed it was a dream because everything had a much starker contrast. It was dark but the night sky was this impossible cartoon shade of dark purple-blue. I was compelled to run. I was lucid and I was excited. This immediately put intense strain on the whole dream and I could feel my blankets on my chest. I grasped at a banister by the stairs and rubbed it to stay in control. I knew it wouldn't last so my first instincts were to start sprinting outside so that I could enjoy my lucid before it snapped. As I ran into the large living room/kitchen area in my house, I could feel the dream slipping again and I sprinted towards the window above the sink in an attempt jump out. I remember jumping at it, noting the odd shade of the sky. But before I made contact with the glass, I could feel the blanket on me again an I woke.

A shame.

I thought I was awake and I went into my dad's room (where the computer is) and my sister was in there watching a movie. Since she was watching it on the computer, I couldn't get on. I didn't care about what she was watching but I do know that it was a live action program and there was probably about 20 minutes left of it. I sat on the bed and said,"You know, I was supposed to get on after Ross. Hurry up and finish that stupid high school show." She said okay and I woke up.
