All I can remember of my dream is that there was a small, sapient snake trying to bite my mom. The setting was back at my house, in front of the garage, and it was night. The snake was trying to poison my mom, but every time it sprang to strike, I would stomp on it, catching it just behind the head. Eventually I made a deal with the snake that it wouldn't come back if I could point out every constellation in the sky. It agreed.
I quickly ran back into the garage and flipped one of the light switches. Immediately, the stars became brighter and the lines of the constellations became lightly visible. Apparently, the deal was just that the constellations get pointed out, because the snake screeched "you're cheating!" or "I've been cheated!", implying that anyone could call out the constellations (which, obviously, everyone would now that the lines were there).

That's all I remember.


Note: I can never think of this dream without thinking of the last verse of Bride's "Kiss the Train":
In my sleep, I could feel the snake
Burning body until it ached
Signed my name in blood, dreamed of salvation
The morning will come, my love, without reservation

Twins of the maze:
I was in some sort of huge empty building, and the lights were pretty dim. There were two girls, looking exactly like each other. They always tried to lead me to some place but when I lost sight of them just for a moment they would immediatly vanish in the silence. I would then always be able to find them at the place I first saw them. However it felt like everytime I lost sight of them something valuable was destroyed.

On the Railroad:
I was travelling somewhere ON a train, and was enjoying the stars of a clear night. At the next station I met my father, we walked through a forest, where my railroads where (probably trams though). Some annoying small dog attacked us, we fought back but neither was the dog dangerous nor took it any damage, so I turned it into a stick and broke it.

Strange artifact:
I was meeting a girl in a dream to get a artifact from here. This girl was someone really special, she didn't look normal and had a strange but pleasant aura. She gave me some sort of medallion in hex shape with 2 jags. I was completely even on the bottom and there were runes on the top. The top also had a different color for all the 6 segments the medallion was made of.

regular lucid
WBTB that collapsed and was reentered as an accidental, unintentional WILD

I slept from 4pm till 7 pm. Got up, watched the TV, had dinner, glass of wine, read the DV - AL3ZAY's "My WBTB Lucid Dreaming Techniques & Tip For Re-Entering A Collapsed Lucid Dream" tutorial, forgott to RC all day). Went back to bed at 10.40pm, feeling sleepy.

Woke up at 11.35pm after 2 LDs - second was reentered, after first one collapsed, thanks to AL3ZAY's WBTB tutorial on reentering collapsed dream).

Regular dream: Coming to a friends house. Lots of people inside, some kind of celebration. Walking through many rooms, getting a bad feeling. Trying to leave, somebody is trying to stop me. Finding a window and floating out. (Since started reading DV, I fly very easily just floating, before had to put some effort to it).

Suddenly at my house. Hopped on a fence, realized I'm lucid. (First time that became lucid without looking at my hand). Started spinning to stabilize, but remembered, that in AL3ZAY's tutorial he spins to the left, so I changed direction and spun to the left. Licked the wall and ate a piece of a plant (didn't taste anything). Did RC finger through palm (my very first finger/palm RC. It really felt like my palm was from play-doh, strange feeling). Someone walked by my room and the footsteps woke me up. Dream mustn't have been stable enough, because also had not much clarity. Again, from the tutorial, I remembered how to reenter the dream. Stayed motionless with eyes closed. Started to have the strangest feeling of sinking into my bed really deep and keep sinking. I realized, somebody is screaming and woke up a little bit, when I recognized, that it was me screaming (silently), accompanied with a shrinking feeling). I let go of it and continued sinking into my bed. It was, as if my bed was 10 feet deep. Woke up on a sidewalk of a very busy town. I was excited and said Hi to a little girl, that was part of a larger group of people. She looked at me as if saying - get over it, you are not the first, and I'm getting tired of you guys getting so excited and talking to me. Behind me was a large area, looked like park/parking lot with a fountain, on left side was a big shopping center, in front of me was a row of tall buildings, and on the right side was a cathedral. All buildings were touching each other and looking crammed. I decided to walk towards the shopping center, but my idea was more to walk away from the cathedral. Then some nun bumped into me and I felt a pinch on my shoulder. People stopped and I was asking them what did she do. Then I was in different part of the town, less people, nighttime. I looked up and saw the moon. Decided to go there. Started lifting up. There were thousands of space ships, shuttles, satellites and stars were beautiful and there was so many of them. I started to cry from seing such a beauty. Then I woke up.

Regular dream: I'm in the dorm of my school. It's end of the school year and we are packing to go home for the summer break. Finding all kind's of different things. I asked my friends, if they don't want to come back and finish packing the next day, that I'll bring my car and it will be easier to move.

Okay, here's my second lucid dream. I think it's the most amazing lucid dream I've ever had, but you know, I'm also pretty new. Enjoy.
By the way: It's 9/10-11. 9, 10, 11. That's funny!

Lucid
Non-lucid
Thoughts

Walking on the water:

Okay, this dream is really amazing. I controlled a lot of things, and I did one of my goals, which actually was the task of september. Okay..

Me and my dad were walking with my dog. It was night, and dark. I looked up at the stars, they were very brights. We passed a lamppost, and my dad said "I'm going to hold a party right here!". I thoughts it was weird, because I couldn't see a house. I did the nose-pinch RC (again ) and became lucid. I remembered the other dream, and wouldn't use more time at flying. Not for tonight. I was pretty calm, and I told my dad it was a dream. He wouldn't believe me. I looked at a house. "Okay, I wanna try to walk on the water.. But where is water?" I asked myself. "Oh, I can create a beach!"! I looked at a house. "The next time I'm turning around, there is a beach!" I said, and turned around. Yes, there was a beach. But the sun wasn't shining in there, and there was a lot of wind. Now my dad believed me, and we walked over to the beach. When we all were over, I looked back, but the road was gone. The wind blowed in my hair, and it was a little bit cold. I walked down to the water.. The water almost danced, and the wind was really annoying. Suddently it stopped moving, but the wind wasn't gone. But the water was calm. "Okay" I tried to walk on the water. The water was a little bit cold. My food walked thought the water, and I tried again. And again. And again. I became frustrated. I couldn't fly, and now I can't walk on the water! Then, my dad said "Think about, that Jesus did it.". I thought about it, and tried one more time. Amazing! I walked on the water! it was like a wet stone or something. It didn't liked it, it wasn't comfortable, but it was really amazing. then I woke up. Happy.

1. I noticed that the stars were out of place. I could only find two recognizable constellations, Orion and Scorpio, which seemed to be approximately in their proper locations. I reasoned that the end of this dimension must be very near for the stars to be so disorganized. I was too disappointed to be afraid.

2. I was riding in a vehicle with someone who kept getting in an accident. It was like we were stuck in a death loop. I knew what was going to happen each time but only a few moments before it happened. I never had enough time to warn the driver.

3. Was at a small party in an unfamiliar basement. I kept looking out the window at the feet walking past it. I decided to leave. Before I could everyone gathered into a circle and started confessing their deepest secrets. One of the people confessed to have loved me since 5th grade. I didn't know what to say to this so I said nothing. When my turn for confession came I only admitted that I was bored and wanted to leave. Then I left. The person who confessed love for me followed me but always stayed behind.

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

Notes:
Haven't had good recall lately... These three fragments are from the past two days.

This was a false awakening. I was on my bed, and had just 'woken' from a previous dream. I wanted to get up and do something else, but I was stuck in sleep paralysis. I experienced some weird hallucinations; when I opened my eyes near the beginning of the episode, I saw tiny stars from the mario games that were floating near the ceiling. I remember squeezing my eyes shut and finding myself in a large garden with trimmed hedges, grey stone for walkways, and lots of pollen in the air. That must have been the 'dream' that was forming, but I soon lost it.

I came to the unconscious conclusion that I was dreaming, and tried to snap out of it, on the verge of shouting because the SP hallucinations were becoming frightening (these ones were mostly tactile, not visual - my eyes were closed now). However, the level of lucidity was incredibly low, so it could have simply been part of the dream plot, not real awareness. The viewpoint changed from first- to third-person sometime during this part of the dream.

Saturday 18th June 2011
I was sitting in my room in the university halls of residence with my sister. I suddenly felt blood seeping out of my nose and it gradually worsened.

I ran to the bathroom and let my nose bleed out into the sink; it showed no signs of stopping, so I gathered some tissue and held it to my nose. I took this chance to look into the mirror above the sink. My eyes were no longer their normal, dark green colour. They were an icy blue and it seemed to look like the colour was fading further.

It was then that I thought to myself "I'm dying."

Car Journey
Saturday 18th June 2011
It was late at night and I was gazing out of the car window to the starry sky as we drove along a motorway. I could only see a few stars in the sky, so my gaze fell back into the car.

However, I decided to look up again and the amount of stars multiplied and their light intensified. It was then I realised that I was dreaming. I sat still for a moment to compose myself and looked out of the windscreen of the car. Suddenly, everything started to fade. However, I managed to stabilise my surroundings and readied myself to fly out of the window. I began to float, but I woke up.

Lucid Dream 183: Reinforced
Series: Friends, Episode 3
around 5:00am
WILD

Category - WTF


Hmm, so I got wasted drunk and passed and ended up passing out on a friend of mine's couch. I woke up around 4:30am, got a drink of water, and went back to the couch. I went to Netflix and started to watch the newest Spartacus episode when I began to drift. I tried to stay awake and watch, but I kept falling in and out of consciousness. I got up to piss and then when I laid back down, I felt SP setting in. I'm surprised I was able to keep consciousness as tired as I was, but I managed to enter the dream state with only some brief HI/HH. I sat up on the couch and stabilized the blurry room. Spartacus was still on the t.v. I just sat there for a while and watched it. There were several people who aren't actually in the show. Angelina Jolie was one of the Gladiators. Olivia Munn was one of the other slaves. There were a couple more that I no longer remember. Later on that day, I watched the episode in real life. I was impressed with how much of the dialogue actually come through to my dream. After a very brutal fight scene where Angelina cut off the heads of two other gladiators, I decided to resume the quest from my previous LD.

I got up and turned toward the window. I dove head first toward it and just before hitting the glass, I noticed a there was a metal frame on the other side of the glass. It was like a flat, mesh frame. I slammed into the glass and it jarred my entire body. I bounced back a little and fell to the floor. It actually made me a little woozy and didn't exactly hurt, but it certainly didn't feel pleasant. My friend ran downstairs yelling, "WTF are you doing?" I stood and I asked why he had metal windows. He told me they were reinforced for hurricane season. I laughed and said, "Motha f***er! We live in the Appalachian Mountain range! You don't need hurricane shutters!" He replied in a slow, drawn-out, philosophical-like tone, "Better safe....than...sorry." He then turned and got excited that Spartacus was on. I walked over to the front door and opened it. There was a huge metal obstruction in behind the door. I turned to say something to Shawn and noticed that the ceiling fan had been reinforced with steel as well. I looked at Shawn and he is wearing a metal body suit. He noticed the expression on my face and pointed at the t.v. It was the weather channel showing a hurricane coming toward the shore. I looked at the land mass and couldn't tell where it was, but it definitely wasn't the east coast (US). I pointed this out to him and he said "Oh, your right." He then pushed a button on the remote and all of the reinforced steel retracted. I exited the house.

Shawn followed and I explained to him that we were lucid. We then began flying around in the sky. I showed him how high up I could fly. I kept flying higher and higher, until I was in outer space. I looked around and I couldn't see anything, but stars all around me. I looked out into the distance, but could see no end. I noticed something coming toward me. As it approached it got bigger and bigger, until I noticed it was a whale shark. For some reason, I freaked out a bit and dove back down to Earth. Me and Shawn landed in a wooded area and looked around. There was a huge colony of beavers all working around me. One of them looked at me and spoke in a woman's voice, "I have been poisoning your wine." They all seem to be working together to cut down the trees. All of them were wearing hard hats. A tree fell in the background and one of the beavers started shouting, "She is dead!" I walked closer and saw a beaver laying under a tree. One of them looked at me and said, "It must have been the wine!" They all looked pissed and came marching up to me in unison (left foot, right foot, left foot,, etc). There were at least 30 of them. The one in the front began speaking (what I thought was German). The beavers behind started doing the gestapo march. I now noticed that each beaver had a red cloth wrapped around one of their arms. There was a black swastika on each cloth. They stopped in front of me and stood at attention as if they were awaiting my order. I began to feel the dream fade as I laughed and wondered what the f*** was going on. I tried to hold on, but couldn't do it. I awoke.

Series Details
In the dream series, "Friends," I join the DC counterparts of my waking life friends and tackle the dream world. You never know what we will be up to next, but I guarantee it will be one hell of a time. Stay tuned for more entries to the series!

DELETED

I have only had a few lucid dreams, 5 or 6 max. but this one takes the cake and feel like I learned a lot!

Non-Lucid: I remember meeting up at one of my boyfriend's friend's house. We talked for a bit as my bf skated around a skate park. A group of guys were heckling him for taking up so much time, and I yelled at them telling them he was new and to stop being jerks.My bf's friends had a homeless friend, and sat both of us down telling us we needed to let him live with us. I instantly said no, because we only have a very small 1 bedroom apartment, with one couch that you can hardly even lay on. Meanwhile, the friends had a much larger house with extra rooms and large couches. I couldn't understand why us, and I felt like a jerk because I couldn't help out.
I then went on a boat. The people didn't notice that I had swam to the boat and just got on, which I thought was weird. They were all too busy playing poker. It was a big boat, so there were too many people to notice. I joined in on a poker game by stealing a very large yellow chip and buying in. I begin to play at a table with 3 people, and once I join quickly more people they knew came. Then I heard from someone reading the paper that the government wants someone on this boat so they are turning around in the morning to bring the boat back. I panicked. I couldn't go back (not sure why.) So I jumped off the boat and swam underwater, hoping I could hold my breath long enough so that no one chasing me could find me. It worked, and I swam away.

I was back on land. I saw two cars and one of them by mine, it was night time and the house that my car was in front of was lit with a rather intense blue. I walked up to my car and noticed the beautiful stars in the sky. I was so amazed, I jumped on the back of my trunk to stare at them. The sky was a sort of blue purple, with bright stars all over.

LUCID: It was then I noticed that the stars would completely disappear and come back. Stars. I could never see them like this, so intense and beautiful. Nor do they change...I am in a dream! I became excited at this realization. I told myself Stars are my trigger, as previous dreams with stars came very close to making me lucid before. I instantly wanted to go to the moon. I looked up in the sky and saw the bright moon, it was hard at first because it would turn small sometimes. I decided I would try to fly even though I heard it is difficult to fly to the moon. I began to fly towards it, but very quickly the moon turned into a billboard. I went back to the ground, and decided I would just fly around. I had to keep telling myself "I am in the control" and it worked very well to keep myself thinking. I flew low among some apartment like living spaces. I found it awkward to fly and control it, but I did it and it worked out rather well! I was happy, as previous attempts to fly in past dreams never really worked.
So I am flying around, come across a beautiful fire like thing, with colors of the rainbow merging to white. I flew around it before continuing. I saw in the distance two girls sitting facing the left, both with curly hair. i thought they looked lovely from the side, so I went to talk to them. When I reached them by flight and landed, I noticed they had sorta strange faces, and were actually probably the age of 12-14. They were twins, one with dirty blond hair and the other with a lighter brown. One looked at me weird, almost with fear. I simply asked "Are you real?" then both of them smiled. "Yes, of course!" they said. I was shocked, but I didn't want to make the situation awkward. This was my first dream meeting, and I wanted it to be good, so I gave them high fives! They were very nice after that.
I still wanted to go to the moon. I asked if they knew how, and they said yes. I said lets go and they agreed. There was a car in front of me, and I simply didn't want it there. I powered myself up, and with a fireball like spell I made the car roll over. Somehow I think the spell affected a guy near by, who sorta morphed into a fire-like being screaming. I found it odd. I then tried to think of the best way to get to the moon...by portal! So I attempted to make my own portal. I stood and attempted to focus energy with my hands, but nothing was happening. The dirty blond twin said she could make a portal. She used one hand, and circled outward to the center of an oval, making a light purple portal. I thanked her, and quickly went into the portal. (I also noted the way she made the portal, so I could try it next time)
Instantly I was on the moon. It was surprising actually. There were quite a few people on the moon, all excited the be there and chatting. They all had names over their heads. I bounced on a the surface for a bit, then looked in third person to see all the people there. I then met my family on the surface at a dinner table, all talking about how we made it to the moon. I remember looking at my dad, he looked himself at first, but at one point his left eye got larger than his right, with a gigantic black pupil. It freaked it me, big time, but it quickly returned to normal. About this moment I was woken up by the feeling of a swollen throat bothering me.

My throat usually does get a bit swollen when I sleep, and it was a bit bothersome when I woke up. But that is the end. I am happy.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Originally Posted by Mzzkc

I later learned that the woman residing in my head can kill me at any time, so long as I let/ask her. She advises me not to take that course of action; I'm inclined to agree.

I just woke from a movie-like dream where I was sort-of-seeing and sort-of-being the main character. He was a less goofy-looking version of Ben Stiller, with dark hair down to his shoulders, but in a dramatic role. We were captive on a modern pirate ship, though all the pirates were basically grizzled white dudes. It was a giant, beat-up tanker of a ship, with its own machine shop and some pretty big smaller craft on board. One of the cooler visuals were these big fiberglass skiffs being hauled around on cranes and lifts while machinists worked on them. I/we made ourself useful so as not to get murdered and because being a pirate didn't sound so bad

There were no pirate battles or anything--mostly just cleaning up and doing maintenance around the ship. I/we was coming off a shift with the engineer/machinist captives, and one of them did this calculation counting rocks to figure out how much fuel we had, and we were running out.

At this point I became a separate, really vague character out on deck with the main character. We watched the exhaust ports sputter out, and he was spraying some weird vapor around from a big tank on his back. I discovered the pirates' sunglass graveyard--a weird corner near a rusted-shut door where broken sunglasses were tossed all over the place. The main character was talking about possibly venting our sewage as propulsion to reach a port, which sounded gross.

Another scene-shift, and the two of us are swimming into shore clinging to a piece of driftwood. Are we escaping? Looking for fuel? Who knows. Handsome Ben Stiller has shaved his head. We get ashore and pull some con at a resort hotel, where he's supposed to be a drunk rich guy who injured himself swimming in the ocean, and I found and rescued him. Somehow this plan gets us into the hotel, and end up meeting and hanging out with other vacationers. The next really cool visual, we are lounging around outside with other guests looking up at the stars in the sky, and for some reason the lights of all the continents are visible there in the sky, almost like a concave version of those shots of earth's nightside from space. I don't know if I was a pirate captive in a hollow earth or what.

Pretty much the last thing that happened was more bizarre and comical. A group of swimmers came out the hotel doors crab-walking on all fours, but turned over with their backs arched up. Apparently this was the way serious swimmers made their way to the water. My fellow ex-captive for some reason decides he's a gay rapist and assaults one of the swimmers. He manages to pants the guy, who then crab-walks away on just his hands with his butt sticking up in the air, which was equal parts funny and just weird, kind of like Borat.

That's about when I woke up.

This isnt the first time Ive become lucid, but its definitly the longest Ive been lucid in a dream..

The moment I became lucid, I was on a nice, quiet suburban street (much like the street a few of my friends live together on)

There were a lot of cars, but no people. I became ecstatic at the idea of being in a dream. Everything started to black out - so I stared at my hands to regain lucidity. It seemed to work.

I decided to test out some powers I might be able to harness - I attempted to run, and eventually kept going faster until I reached superspeed, but the dream started to fade out, so I stopped.

My mind (due to low-lucidity) started to wonder, although I was still aware. I started to think about Space and the stars (a topic Im really interested in exploring in my dreams) and focussed on a stone that was on the footpath - Everything turned black except the stone, which turned into a distant star, and I begun soaring towards the star through space at astronomical speeds.

I slowed down and stopped in space. In complete awe at the solar system I was travelling through, I got too excited and woke.

That, was my most recent, and most interesting lucid dream.

I hope to have many more and evolve a lot of the themes I experienced!

I'm fighting or running from something. At first it's just a black dog that keeps biting me and I keep trying to take it off me or break his neck. The girls from inside the house leave me alone. He bites harder into my leg or arm. I finally succeed to rip its body apart and throw it. An old lady in the corner of the street says it will come back, stronger, darker, as a boar. A man who is followed by death like in the Final Destination movie enters the house.
I get to a bar and sit at the table with C. and C. There is a lot of smoke. I tell them the smoke is a very very bad sign.
I'm living with my cousin in a trailer at an intersection. She sometimes goes out in the street dressed in the pijamas. I change myself inside.
I tell myself "How real, how alive this dream feels!". My cousin and my aunt are with me. I know it is a dream, I think I fell asleep near them, so I tell them to wake me up, just a bit, to wake me up so I can gain control of the dream and that's all. They don't answer. I keep telling myself, Maria, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Maria. I can't get control like this. I feel IT coming. I can't transform IT. I start running up a hill, climbing houses, doors. It follows me everywhere, it bites my feet.
It keeps getting bigger and I keep getting smaller in my parent's room. It transforms. I can see it will become something big, so I try to turn myself into an elephant. I can't. It becomes an american helicopter. It shoots me. I think that if it kills me, I would wake up, so it's ok. It doesn't even hit me. My parents are in their bed. My mum comes at me to check who I am with a knife. There may be blood on it. I climb to the roof, to the dark night sky that is full of stars. I tell myself "It's the sky, Maria, I can control the dream!"

Lucidity-6
Vividness-6

I'm in a M.A.S.H. camp. If you don't know what that is, its from a show i watched called mash. It was a korean war field clinic. Anyway, i'm looking down at my gun. I pull the slider on the side. I shoot a couple of bullets for fun.
F.A.
I realize i'm dreaming out of nothing. I find a woman. skipping the details. Afterwords i start just walking around enjoying the dream. I try to remember some dream goals, but all i can remember is going to the moon. I try to remember the task of the month, but realize i wouldn't have the title for very long anyway. I head ouside. Outside is the coolest thing, and i'll try to describe it my best. Its pretty dark out. I walked onto a porch with screened in windows. In the distance are flying little white dots that are circling around. I walk onto the ground now. The air feels cold and rejuvenating. I always love feeling senses in dreams. I look up looking for the moon, and am going to try to fly their. I look around and realize that i can't see a moon. The stars look amazing, and comets are flying around in space. I look another direction and see what looks like another galaxy. It was purple,blue,and black. It was just plain beautiful. Then unfortunately...
F.A.
My brother woke me up in the M.A.S.H. tent. I get angry at him and throw a stapler i think at him. He gets angry and says he didn't do anything wrong. I tell him he woke me up and i'm really tired. My mom is their also and tells my brother that i'm right, and it was wrong to wake me up.

That was my dreams. I had more F.A. in this one but i just can't remember all of them. Most of the dreams were slightly earlier than when i actually got out of bed. So instead of forgetting them i made my own way to remember dreams. I put a keyword in my head that relates to the dream so i would remember it. For my first it was "zombie". For the second it was M.A.S.H.
