By chance I happened to have a pretty decent length lucid dream, so I'd like to be sure to document it. The earliest part in the sequence I can remember was some sort of fake Harry Potter movie (during the dream I seemed to think it was the third in the series, but couldn't remember the name), only it starred the cranky-professor-guy-with-the-eye-whose-name-I-don't-remember (that guy from the Goblet of Fire). Anyways, it seems he was going away and people were giving him various going away presents but he was being extra cranky about them. I recall the second to last one vividly; one person (seemed to be a young adult) held up this large, ornate deep green crystal cross with silver metallic edges, stating that he was offering the professor a chance to examine it and that it was a magical artifact that had belonged to his family for many years (it seemed to imply he was some sort of royalty). However the professor cut the student off from his speech angrily, exclaiming that he knew several good men who died in the name of that worthless, magic-less artifact. After that people started to disperse, and an older professor picked up another going away present that looked like a chest and looked as though he was about to leave but then decided to offer it up (saying that after what had just happened he thought the professor wouldn't be interested but thought he might try offering it anyways). They open it, and the chest is empty except for a small recess near the top left that contained a brass metallic pentagram. The older guy asked him if he knew what it was, and the professor replied dramatically that he did indeed know. The camera seemed to look into the box and zoom in ominously on the pentagram; as it got closer you could see that there was a different place on the other side. As it zoomed through the camera shifted to my vision as I saw a group of people walk by and I followed them into what I seemed to think was a hospital. We were talking about some project I was going to work on (it seemed like a job interview?). Inside, we entered some board room through a set of doors and then went to another set of doors along the same wall to let two other people in (I was already with two other people). One of them was Dr. Werremeyer, whom I was happy to see after so long. At some point it transitioned to me at my car at what seemed to be the gas station on University Drive in Fargo that we used to always get gas at. I seemed to think for a moment that my brother was joining me. We got into the car and were waiting there for a while. We amused ourselves with the two extremely short old ladies in the car next to us. At some point he asked me what we were waiting for, I replied that I wasn't sure, that I'd started with 5 professors and now had 0 and that if this was a dream it was kind of a shitty one, which prompted a reality check. It didn't pass (I remember thinking it was going to and being initially surprised that it didn't). I managed to keep focus but immediately getting to work. As I was doing this I was looking across a street corner and there was a lot of Hispanic people walking across the corner towards me. I decided since I didn't like this dream that I'd clean it up a little bit, so I mentally ordered the wind to blow everything away. It became quite a bit windier (as I could notice in the trees in the background), but it wasn't enough to blow the people away. I tried ordering it again and was able to blow a few people off their feet. I incidentally noticed I had a bottle of lime slushy stuff that I was drinking from. I also recall thinking this dream was going on a while (my temporal perception seemed awry here in retrospect) and I should come write about it. Since my current efforts weren't working I tried to get out of my car but somehow got my head stuck in the door and in trying to get myself out I accidentally woke up. Observation: as I'd previously noted, during a failed reality test my breathing becomes noticeable as the kind of nasal breathing my waking body would experience. This time I discovered that maintaining this nasal breathing sound helped hold lucid focus. I seemed to think this lucid dream was longer, but I can't seem to remember much going on. Anyways, good stuff.
Whew, another lucid, and a few other dreams. Right, so tonight, I gace DEILD another shot and I think it just became my favourite inducing technique. I attempted it twice tonight, though it only worked the second time. I set my alarm to go off at 4am. I thought that was enough for me to get decent sleep. I woke up about 2-3 hours before the alarm. After feeling concious, my leg twitched and it was enough to get me out of REM, not too dissapointed, I fell asleep. My alarm went off, I havent moved or blinked. There was this ringing sound in my head. I started counting to ten. As I counted to 7, I felt that incredible feeling again, only weaker than last time. My body became heavy and numb. I knew this was the signal to do a RC. I slowly lifted my hand and pinched my nose. I could breathe. I was A LOT calmer than last time. I layed on my bed, letting everything to settle. I slowly got up and raised my hands before my eyes. They looked normal, no extra fingers or anything strange. They were blurry on the edges though. As I concentrated on my hands, I tried concentrating on the smell, and sound aswell. The one thing I always seem to forget is feeling some texture and tasting something. With that done, I stood up. I was infront of my mirror. I looked just like the way I do in the real world (The dream even remembered my new haircut I got yesterday) Only one thing which was odd was that I was wearing clothes. The reflection behind me was my old wardrobe we had, with a christmas calendar . It's gone now. Everything was still blurry and I was feeling dizzy, so I looked down at the ground. Looked up and everything looked stable. I decided to begin exploring my dream. I woke up my borther this time and asked him to join me. He did so without hesitation. Since it was dark out, I wanted to use some passive control to make it brighter. As we were leaving the apartment, I told my mom that we were going outside, because It's a beutiful and sunny day outside. The hallway looked normal, but it wad darker. As we were climbing down the stairs, I noticed cows while looking trough the window, alot of cows! We're outisde. The outside looked nothing like I've ever seen before. Some cars, a playground and other buildings. I noticed something strange when I was outside aswell. I was avle to finally move freely, without my hands sliding, eyes closing or any other stuff. Next, I wanted to do something fun, so I thought about lifting a car. I walked to a car and slowly bent down. And slowly but surely lifted the car of the ground. Suprisingly, the car was as light a toaster, even lighter. Then I gently put the car down. I was happy, and continued exploring the world. I asked my brother to summon my best friend to where I was, but he refused. I asked him two more times and he still refused. Oh well, I guess I didn't have enough control. Moving along, I aproached a big red wall. Feeling strong, I wanted to destroy it. I would've done it, if I hadn't lost conciousnes. The dream ended and I woke up to my dad leaving for work again. Still, I was happy that I was able to have a lucid dream. I also remember a few fragments of dream which I had before this one. I was on vacation last week. We went to see the Baltic Sea I find myslef climbing a sand dune for my life, because the water is slowly rising. Climbing was EXTREMELY hard and it felt like something was pulling me down.
All I can recall is just doing a reality check and becoming lucid. That's about it.
Last night (this morning) i had 3 different lucids, but each one lasted only like 5 seconds probably because i was stupid and did no stabilzation on 2 of them Dream 1: I was sitting on my couch already lucid. I looked around, noticed i was in what seemed like my living room, but there were no doors. I noticed the TV was on, but before i could see what was on, I woke up. Dream 2: I was laying in my bed, not really doing anything, and did a random reality check. I plugged my nose and tried to breath in.At first it seemed like i could breath, but when i tried it a second time, it didn't work. Then, i checked my hands. All fingers, no deformities, so i figured maybe i wasn't dreaming. Just to be 100% sure, i plugged my nose again and tried to breath. This time i was sure i was dreaming. However, my eyes started to close. I rubbed my hands to try to stabalize the dream, and it seemed to work. Then I tried to slowly open my eyes so that i wouldn't wake up, but unfortunately, it didn't work and i woke up. Dream 3: I had just done a DEILD and was pretty sure i was in a dream. I plugged my nose, and i could breath! but before i could even think of what to do or even stablize the dream, it started to fade and I woke up. Damn, not having any luck today
It's been ages since I've been on here or thought about LDing, but I feel that I should sort my life out and get back into it. So here's my account of my first ever lucid dream that I had quite a while ago. I don't have my physical dream journal with me so this is just a rough interpretation from memory, which is pretty accurate I think. I was dreaming that I was in my kitchen having breakfast with my dad and brother, but I got handed a cardboard box, similar to a shoebox and I put it on my head. When said box was placed over my head I could see an image of a landscape quite clearly. After surveying the image I noticed that everything in the foreground had the characteristics of being in the background, but everything in the background had the characteristics of being in the foreground...something to do with focusing and stuff, it would probably make loads more sense dreaming haha. After having this moment of realisation, I thought to myself, I MUST BE DREAMING, upon which I got very excited and whipped the box off my head. I performed a few standard RC's and confirmed that I was in fact dreaming. Knowing that because this was my first, it wouldn't last very long I struggled to calm myself in order to prolong the dream. I ended up looking at yoghurt pots and then closing my eyes and changing the text in a half RC, half lucid fun kind of way. Unfortunately the dream slipped away pretty quickly after that, but it was awesome while it lasted. Onwards for more lucid adventures hopefully!
Joshdamighty's Dream Started at home in my old house when I was in my early childhood. There were a lot of people over. After some socializing with the rediculous amount of people that were over at our house, I realized I was dreaming through my glasses. I don't know how but my glasses were fogged and I took them off and my vision stayed the same. Made stuff float to test dream control. I remember before trying to teleport I saw this odd mustached man with a monocle who was cuboidal shaped like minecraft. I tried to teleport countless times by spinning in a circle and using doors to get to the temple Finally a door worked and I was transported to a facility with space shuttles there (didn't count on that) I go and try to teleport again with all the doors but nothing works Then i find a room fool of mirrors and try those but still nothing. I then think maybe I can take a space shuttle I ask a dude how long until the launch he says 11 hours I then go to the terminal and can't find out how to get into a shuttle I then see this guy who tells me I shouldn't be there and I decide to try and teleport again and it works! I am teleported to the myan temple and then see lots of jungle around me. I finally see the temple and decide to fly up to it when I see the odd mustached man again He said your journey ends here. I fly around trying to dodge him who is now shooting fireballs at me. I fly behind a floating building (odd because there were many floating buildings above the temple including the tajma hall). He flew into the building and died and fell to the earth. I flew back to the temple and got to the top of it and looked all around and saw nobody. I laughed I was so happy I made it. I then started to realize my objective and started to light the beacon when I woke up.
Joshdamighty After many attempts at teleporting I make it there but don't see anyone. Started at home in my old house when I was in my early childhood. There were a lot of people over. LFS 5 times.

Vividness: 5/5 Recall: 3/5 I'm in a bar or something like that. There are a few friends and girl N. She has birthday that's why we celebrate it in this bar. I have the feeling that something isn't real, that something is wrong in here. I leave the table for a minute to go to the toilet. As I walk away, girl N. follows me. We stop a few meters in front of the toilet, but out of the sight of our friends. I still have an awkward feeling, she behaves really strange. She doesn't make any moves she use to make, no teasing , no jokes, nothing. I feel something special is going on. We start to kiss.I realize that this is a dream, because I know, she wouldn't never ever behave like this. I calm myself and concentrate on the kiss. It feels really normal, like this is reality. I am very cautious because I know that I would loose the dream when I get too excited. We stop the kiss and girl N. seems to be ashamed or something like that, just like she did something she will regret. I'm a bit confused cause I know that this reaction is caused by myself, well it's my dream. I know that what she feels is that what I would feel in real life. This emotion is really strong, it makes me sad. Girl N. starts to speak: Girl N.: I don't know what is going on here. I feel so confused. Me: I know what you are talking about. What does this mean. Girl N.: maybe we should actually talk about what happened. But we can't do it now, the others will suspect something. So one after the other we go back to the table I loose lucidity and sit near her. I wait until we can leave the place, so that we could talk about it. But I don't really remember anymore what we should talk about. The kiss? The feelings? A possible relationship? I don't know how the dream ended but I had a song stuck in my had when I got up. It was just a line: I cant believe that you can't see that you mean everything to me
I'm literally shaking while writing this, because I'm very exited. I don't remember experiencing something like this before. Right. So, I awake from a dream I just had, I can't remember it, but one of the DC's actually told me to wake up and I did it in an instant. Everything around me shook and vibrated. I was in the waking world. I was fully concious, with my eyes closed and without moving an inch, so I decided to DEILD. I was very sleepy, but also awake at the same time, I could hear this ringing noise in my head, which I read about, and knew that this is a good time to DEILD. I noticed my left wrist was extended, so I slowly put it in a relaxed state. That didn't wake me up. I then began to slowly count to ten. After I said five, I felt an amazing experience. I was actually being pulled down my bed, I was shaking, vibrating, and I had this sensation. I knew that this was it. After that experience I didn't even bother continueing to count 10. Then it happened, was almost 100% sure I was in a dream. I said to my self: "finally". I smiled, I was happy, and attempted to pinch my nose. Thats when I knew that being in a lucid dream or controling it wont be an easy task. My arms wouldn't move. That somehow didn't bother me. I just used more force into moving the hands than I ussualt do. I pinched my nose, and started breathing. Yup, 100% lucid. I could breathe crealry as if nothing was blocking it. I was still with my eyes closed. So I tried to imagine a grassy field around my bed when I open them. I then felt light coming in trough my closed eyes. Exitedly, I tried opening them. But I couldn't, my eyelids wouldn't move. Nervously, I stood up and tried opening them with the help of my hands. It worked, whew. The next thing that I noticed being weird was the movement of my arms. They were moving very smoothly. I'll try to explain: When I do something with my arm, and then suddenly stop, it doesn't stop right away. It then "slides" down to the direction I was using it in and then completely stops. This later seems to dissapear as the dream progresses (I hope you understand). So It wasn't a grassy field, that didn't discourage me. It was my room. Completely identical to the one in the waking world. It was fun, but a bit frightening at first. my room wasn't completely dark, it had dim lighting. I then suddenly noticed movement in the room. It was my brother in his bed. This is where I lost lucidity for a moment, panicked and jumped to his bed, when I saw his face starting to transform. I covered him with a pillow, beat him up, stand away from the bed. I then regained concious control. The next thing I remembered was dreams stabilization. I stood still, closed my eyes, and touched the first thing I could reach. My desk. It felt exactly the same. I was surprised. I then touched my bookshelf above it. It felt the same too. I then took a deep breath. I completely forgot about testing my hearing and eyesight. With that done, I proceeded to check out the rest of my home. But first, I wanted to use my mirror, I stood infront of the mirror and but my hand on it expecting for it to go trough. it didn't, well atleast tried, though I couldn't see my reflection, not any other reflection for that matter. I went to my parents room, and heard voices, a little frightened I continued walking. Another strange that cought my attention is that I didn't feel my legs. I knew I was walking, but I couldn't feel the ground I'm standing on, nor the legs I'm moving with. My parents room looked the same, my mom was sitting in her bed doing something, with my brother next to her. I didn't do anything stupid this time. I just ignored it. I then proceeded to exit my apartment. I remembered having another mirror, near the door, so I checked that too. I could see my reflection. I was shorter, I looked the same, but the reflection was off. Everythime I focused on one spot, it looked blury, while everything else looks normal, but still a bit weird. It was funny. I then unlocked my door, and slowly opened it. Birght white light. My corridor was almost the same, exept it was longer, and wider, and more white. This is where the action begins. I see some people walking door to door. A woman and 2-3 men, I can't remember. Those men looked big, strong mean, and had strange faces. They then saw me, and started walking to my door. I panicked a little, but managed to keep my cool and opened the door for them. I I couldn't understand what they were saying. Suddenly i felt very angry. Super angry. And punched the woman in the face in a raging furry. She fell to the ground. I was then alone, standing next to 3 big men who didn't look friendly. I started running towarss one and wanted to use dream control. I imagined that i would hit him so hard, he would go trough the wall. I punched him, he hit the wall and the wall just cracked. Still, it was a start. I felt powerful. I took care of them with ease. I then found my self in an office room, it didn't feel weird, so I went along with it (I could still feel being fully concious) I looked out trough the window and saw something which resembled tiggers? I was curious to see what they were. I the see my friend and dad, sitting on some chairs next to the window of the room (I wont try to explain how the room looked, because I can't remember) I ask my friend to help me remove the courtains, which were blocking the window. the curtains looked like the ones in my apartment, because my mom put on new ones a few days ago. With nothing blocking the window, I punched it. My punches felt so powerful. The glass didn't brake. I started rapidly punching the glass, with the room shaking. Nothing. Suddenly, out of nowhere, felt the sudden urge to wake up. I closed my eyes and immediatly found myself in my bed. I could remember everything clear as day, but after a few minutes the memory started fading, so I couldn't wright it down in greater detail. It turns out the thing which trigered me to awake was my dad going to work. I was smilling, and was happy. This was one heck of an experience for me.

'Woke' up floating in face down in the river of chocolate in Willy wonkas chocolate factor...I felt hung over/high and staggered onto the shore after splashing around a bit. Spotted those weird orange skinned guys wandering around and thought 'As I'm here' and got them to start singing christmas carols with a rude twist (Jiggle Balls being one). Wonka showed up (original) and started to tell me off over nearly drowning in his chocolate river, violence took place, and I was holding Wonkas head under surface of the chocolate river, when he seemed to finally die. Suddenly his sprang back up clearly a zombie at this point and proceeded to chase me around the factory (Got to see the 'room full of bubbles), I ended up diving head first down a 'rotten egg' tube perfering to risk being burnt to death than facing an undead Willy Wonka. Unfortunately Wonka followed me down the pipe and I couldn't wake myself up, ended up being dragged under the pool of rotten egg, bits of shell (man it stank!) and getting my left leg chewed on a fair be before gratefully drowning. Played dead for a bit, got up as a zombie to try and sneak out....zombie love making took place Felt sick when I woke up....won't be eating eggs for a while.
I had a lucid dream last night. I was talking to my family and everything was so clear and I was even less interested in their conversation than usual. I thought,"Wow, everything isn't blurry. I must be dreaming." I pondered whether I should do something or not, but I was too lazy to try anything. So, I just continued to listen to my family. Then, I thought,"I wonder how they would feel if I told them this was a dream." I decided against it and just looked around the room. I briefly considered that perhaps I really was awake and had just suffered a moment of temporary insanity. But, I decided against that when I realized I had been in the living room with absolutely no recollection of what I had done before. I'm a pretty lethargic person in real life, so it's no wonder whenever I do have a lucid dream, I more or less don't do much of anything. I prefer observing the characters and the scenery.
Dream I was walking home from school and see some of my friends I say "Hey" and he says "Sup" then I see a 2 girls from school one I just grab and hold. Which is wierd because I don't think she's attractive but by this point I'm not Lucid. Then my mate pops out of a car (another dream sign) that he can't drive. He was waering a jacket that looked like someone had painted on it. Then some guy I saw from before was getting rude to me (like he used to in real life) he was saying some stuff that I didin't like he knows a lot of guys so I just walked off. Then I was thinking as I walked down my street "Why am I coming from school if it's Saturday?" Now I'm Lucid, now I'm in buisiness. So the first thing I was look up and the sky was so clear it was unbelievable. The first thing I did was go back and find that boy and fight him. With Bo Staffs he had a friend there who is also my friend but he was just backing the other guy so I fought both of them. I shot a red chidori (like a hadouken) from my hand and hit the other guy (I need to improve my LD control) then I start parrying and striking, it was really cool. It was like when Neo pulled out the post and fought all the Smiths in Matrix Reloaded. Anyway I keep fighting and the dream fades.
I had a lucid dream last night, for the first time! What happened was that I somehow realized that I was dreaming, and asked one of the dream characters if i could speak to my unconscious mind, to which he replied with yes. Unfortunately, I did not have a lot of control over the dream so i lost lucidity. Pretty boring, but it was my first legit lucid dream
05.08.2011Do as Much as You Can! (DEILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was in my bedroom lying down. For some reason, I knew the dream was ending. I was awake, kept my eyes closed, and visualized the dream scene that I just saw. The dream was still in my bedroom, so I plugged my nose. I was still able to breathe! I knew I was dreaming. I got up from my bed slowly and I walked through my living room. Some blonde girl was on my couch, but I ignored her. I had a goal that I wanted to accomplish for once, and that was to be able to fly. Before I went outside, I said that there will be a trampoline next to my pool. I figured this would help me with gaining height and momentum, which will make flying easier. I went outside, and there the trampoline was. I stepped on the trampoline, and I started to jump. This is when I realized how small this trampoline, with red lining, was. I almost couldn't fit on it. Still, I jumped as high as I can and... nothing. I couldn't fly. I wasn't going to give up on this, since I was able to spawn a trampoline. Instead of jumping, I thought to myself, "no gravity". All of a sudden, I was floating/flying! I flew up so high that I was able to see most of the world. It looked pretty cartoony. I flew to the north, where South America was oddly located. I got back onto the land, and I was in some mountains. They looked like the mountains near Bruma in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I think there was a man there, but I am not sure. Now that I was able to fly, I wanted to try something I heard some people have trouble with, which is getting to the moon. I shot up into the air like a rocket, and in front of me I saw the moon. I made a space helmet appear on my head, just in case. It was still a long way to get there, and I didn't want to risk flying there just for the dream to end. Instead, I decided to try another skill: teleportation. I imagined that I was on the moon, and I was on some mountains found on the moon. The moon looked really weird, though, as there were a lot of green spots all over it. I decided that I would try to go to another spot on the moon, but instead of thinking of a crater on the moon, I thought of a crater on Jupiter. I started falling down towards Jupiter, so I imagined I was on the moon again. I appeared on Jupiter's moon instead. It actually was just a tiny asteroid that I had to hold on to to stay on it. I had enough of space, so I teleported again. This time, I teleported underwater. It was pretty green and murky under the water I was in, and I thought about fighting underwater ninja fish, but then I stopped myself since I thought I read it before on DV. There were these fish with huge jaws that were wearing helmets, though, but they ignored me. I swam to the surface, and there I saw a beautiful waterfall, and there was land nearby. I went on the land and imagined little monsters around me. They appeared, and they had a slug body, but the face of a triceratops. They were green and blue, but they were also really cute, so I did not kill them. After that, I went up a step and decided I will make something more creative. I created a new pokemon, and it looked really cool. It was like a Pokey from Mario, except there were all of these crazy shapes, Pokey faces, and a cat head at the top. It was sort of like a totem pole. All of the little monsters I spawned earlier surrounded it. The dream slipped away from me, as I felt it was. I kept my eyes closed, and imagined the dream again. I was back in the dream, but I was in the mountains that I saw before. I knew I was dreaming right away. I thought I would fly to Australia, since a man told me I should fly the other way this time. I said "no gravity", was high in the air, and started plummeting to my doom. I said "no gravity" once more, and this time, I was fine and started floating up. I went so high that I could see the whole view of earth, just so I can be sure about where Australia was. It was right under North America, oddly. I flew towards Australia and dropped down right in the water next to it. For some reason, Australia was really small. No, it wasn't small. I was really big! The people were the size of ants, and there was a lot of snow on the ground. I walked north, and I came into a cave, where I was normal sized again. People were river rafting in the cave. The dream ended.
Lucidity: 7/10 Vividness: 8/10 Length: ~4 Min. I was in a gigantic factory building with my brother. Almost all of the lights were out in the building. After looking at the scene, I could easily tell that I was dreaming, I said to myself "I know I'm dreaming." So I kept saying things like "lights, on!" and stuff like that. After about 6 or so attempts, only about half of them worked, then I basically lost lucidity.
