    1. 29 May - False lucid and real lucid

      comment dream lucid

      Thinking a lot about dreaming before falling asleep.

      Ramp
      Driving a motorbike off a ramp, jumping into the air. It was supposed to test something, maybe how someone got killed. Beaches all around and low tide.

      Walk with V
      With V in the forest, talking about how often I go out. I told him I help my family walking their dog.

      Hair
      I was talking with someone about which hairstyle I would like.

      False lucid
      I was walking down a path, playing some game. I think I did it for a second time and in an opposite direction, but that was just a vague memory. The rules were that you had to be lucid and do various tasks.
      There was a corner of a rock where the path led along a narrow ledge and I met a boy and a girl there. I offered the girl if she wanted to sit with me for a while and we crawled into this grassy alcove, letting the boy pass.
      I asked her what her name was and she told me her name. I told her I was Indigo. I asked how it was going so far and she said good, but she actually wanted to go so she wouldn't waste her time. So we said goodbye.
      It occurred to me that I've been lucid for a long time, that I've never had a LD this long, like 2 hours. But good for me - long LD = better chance of winning for me, while others have to do it in parts.
      I checked the paper with the tasks and it said to rubb our hands, so I did it, even though I thought I didn't need to, but I saw the organizer in front of me, so I wanted to get points.
      Then I saw more organizers around the corner and there was a fridge and I climbed on it and rearranged some food. I suddenly knew they were evil and decided to confront them - I told them I knew who they were and that they were serving the dark lord. They had a gun. I said they could kill me, but I had a plan to escape by waking up
      I closed my eyes and opened them and nothing, I was still there. That surprised me. I tried again and failed again. I remembered the reddit poll "can you wake up from a LD" and my answer "yes, reliably". That's what I get for that.
      I tried blinking really fast again, but it didn't work.
      Then I was in this labyrinth of big metal cabinets. I felt like I'd been lucid for an awfully long time, hours. I asked the organizers what they had done to my body in reality, that I was still asleep. They grinned, which worried me. Maybe I'm in a coma or something. But maybe not, and I have to wake up sometime. I figured there was probably a purpose for me there, something I needed to do. Somehow save everything and defeat them.
      I had this stick in my hand with some roots on the end. I've been poking around under the cupboards with it, seeing if there's some object that will allow me to save everything. I must have a reason to have that stick for...
      I felt myself waking up, and I thought "finally".

      I knew instantly that I was waking up from a false lucid.

      I logged keywords for the dream because I really liked it and wanted to remember.
      I felt confident that there could be a LD after this. I reiterated the intention to lucid dream. It took me some time to fall asleep again.

      Train to Birmingham
      I was at the station and it was about trains. Z said there was a train leaving for Birmingham and she was going to take it. I said that the train to Birmingham was useless to me, that we usually go via Manchester, and she was surprised.
      I walked with her on the way to the trains and there was the time and the Birmingham sign by the steps to the platform and it was flashing as if the train was about to leave. I hesitated for a moment but let it go, it wouldn't do me any good.
      I went back to the main concourse to look at the departures board to see what else was coming. The board was just changing.
      That's all I remember - the next was probably the transition into the false awakening.

      Real lucid - Meeting my dream guide
      I woke up in our bedroom and immediately suspected it was a FA. But as soon as I realized it, my vision got worse and I could only see two blurs. I was afraid I was going to wake up, but I knew I was still in a dream. It occurred to me to start picturing a deck chair and a beach or something, as what people do when they have sleep paralysis.
      Suddenly something disturbed me and I opened my eyes and I was awake and it was still a FA. Yes!
      I sat on the bed and R was awake next to me and there was also J. I knew I could ignore them, but I wanted to make them disappear with a snap of my fingers like in the daydream rehearsal, so I tried, but it didn't work, which I guess amused them a little.
      I started looking at what was the same in the room and what was different. Almost everything looked the same to me. There were these shelves and these pictures. I noticed that the frames of the pictures were a different color than they were IRL (actually, almost everything was different and we had no pictures or shelves IRL).
      There was also a wall cabinet with a brown fabric curtain and I had the feeling that something green was peeking out - an iguana. I went to look, but my cat came out.
      Goals! Verbal commands and then meeting my dream guide. I try "Clarity now!" but the dream already has great clarity, so what can improve? On the contrary, it gets slightly worse. But only for a moment. I leave the room and try "Increase lucidity", but nothing noticeable happens. I see a green jacket on the rack and I try to make it disappear. Might be easier than with humans. But nothing. I try again and the whole hallway to the living room disappears in a blur.
      I use the door to the second bedroom and walk into a large room that looks like a gym. There are mats, exercise equipment, and large windows facing the city street.
      I try to do a somersault on the mat, but I stop halfway through and just roll. The movement feels realistic.
      Goals! I walk across the room and shout "Dream, dream, give me my dream guide".
      I turn around and there's a curtain to the left of the windows (probably a mini room with more equipment) and my guide comes out from behind the curtain. She's a black woman, in her fifties, maybe early sixties (probably not, her hair is still dark brown/black and not grey), curvy but not obese, with big boobs. I met her once before in a daydream and she was an old white woman but I know it’s her.
      I said, "You've been here the whole time." She nods.
      We go and sit down on the leather upholstered couch that's appeared there for us. I said I didn't know how much time we had, or maybe she asked, either way, I knew she wanted and needed to know.
      I replied, "I'm not going to lie to you. I didn't come straight here. But I tried not to linger too long."She nods.
      I asked: "Will you teach me something?" She smiled.

      I started to wake up. Maybe she wanted to teach me DEILD? But more likely I was too excited

      Fragment 1:
      Whizzing around in boats


      Dream 1:
      A loop about lucid dreaming. I am trying to pull off some kind of lucid challenge and keep going back to sleep after not quite managing it.

      I manage to avert a nasty violent argument on the final attempt, a bystander appears to remember the argument that happened in the previous loop and is scared when I turn up but is relieved when I manage to change the story this time around

      Fragment 2:
      Dancing on the sofa to the band outside

      I may have just had my first lucid.

      In the dream, I was in a first-person video game. The backstory: I am an old, undead man whose wife is afraid of him and I need to catch her. I could see myself (well, my undead, dream self) in a mirror in a bathroom. The bathroom looked like my grandmother's, but nothing else did. Eventually, something happened and I was in front of the mirror again, but I looked like an Asian man. I said, "Wait, we're Asian now?" and, "Wait, am I dreaming again?" I plugged my nose and could still breathe (though it felt strange), so I knew I was dreaming. I closed my eyes and said, "Clean slate," and the dream world became a blank, white space. I closed my eyes and said my crush's name and she appeared. I immediately started having sex with her, but it felt strange. I felt detached. It didn't feel like I was *ahem* thrusting. In fact, the dream switched to third-person and ended quickly. Unfortunately, I wasn't tired enough to re-enter the dream.

      Now, I'm not entirely sure this was a true lucid. I didn't feel truly concious and felt detached, as I said before. Also, the sex part didn't go as I had planned it; I had planned to do a bit of romance and foreplay, as opposed to mindlessly diving into it.

      I think I either a.) was dreaming about being lucid or b.) attained lucidity, then lost it. Either way, it's progress!

      #ignore the asterisks

      #anything in parenthesis are my thoughts after waking while recalling the dream. If there's colored text inside the parenthesis, it's my thought's during my dream.

      Earlier. Around 4ish.
      (After waking up, and doing couple of things, I went back upstairs.)
      mantra:I will lucid dream, I'll do reality checks.
      sn: I'm not too sure if I had a lucid. I'm thinking it might have been a false, but who knows?



      I get stuck in Sleep Paralysis. Then I force myself out of it. I am in a car with Eric. Outside Stop&Shop? I think I remember standing...somewhere on the right side entrance. Really not sure what I was doing there.

      Then I'm at the house. Outside near the wooden fence. Aside from the "JESUS" on the fence, there also seems to be a whole bunch of other writing as well. (I want to compare it to something from one of the assassin creeds, but I don't remember which one) I try to change some of it. And it works. Then I stabilize the dream. By rubbing my hands together. I don't remember what I did after this though.

    5. Non-Lucid Dream: I Dream I'm Awake but Lucid Dreaming - What?

      by , 08-01-2011 at 02:49 AM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      I didn't journal this morning, so I have forgotten much of a very short dream. What I do remember is that I was outside. I was at a cliff, but the depth of the crevasse was not vivid or much of an issue.

      In my dream I was awake, but explaining to people that since I was lucid, I could fly or do anything I wanted. I started walking up air-stairs to show that I really could do anything. I walked up 3 air-stairs and I remembered I had an empty cranberry juice bottle that I wanted for some reason. It was supposed to be helpful to me in some way.

      When I tried to walk up the air-stairs again, I had trouble twice.

      Waking up was very odd as it completed the circle of dreaming that I was awake, discussing how I was lucid--though I was not, then coming out of my sleep and becoming awake. It was really strange.

      I took a Spirulina and a B-Complex before bed. The two really seem to give me strange dreams.

      one of dem 'false lucids' with poor recall

      The Hoppy Brains Frog (non-lucid)

      I was at a castle. But the side wall was gone and some grass and trees and a river outside. There were some watersides too. I was with BroX. I looked at my hands and they were normal but I tried to fly. I was able to lift off a little bit but fell back down.

      BroX and I continued to perform feats of dream control, mostly flying around a little bit. He disappeared and reappeared.

      Then, my view turned 2D and I was watching as we jumped around the castle like the original Super Mario Bros. We jumped and spin like a tornado.



      Back outside and back to normal, a frog was hopping around. I grabbed it and moved its mouth while supplying the voice. "I am the Hoppy Brains Frog" or something like that.

      Edit: Oh yeah. At one point, the top half of my vision was gone and felt like the dream was slipping so I rubbed my hands together to stabilize and it worked.

      Frags:

      1. I was browsing the forums.

      2. I was at work with people that don't work there. I was taping up some pipe and then it was lunch time. I ate a hot dog. Eww. A hot dog.
