The earlier memory I have of this dream is of me driving home, and later being stopped by my employer. She told me I had to do some driving, and drove me and my car to some strange place just east of St. Peters. Getting out of my car I use some strange feature on my dob that worked similar to a jet pack, that made me fly upward. I flew to just a little bit away from the parking lot, and went in the back exit of this bizarre circus/zoo.

Reaching the entrance of the zoo, I was told I had to pay $1.50. Since I didn't have any money on me, I lied my way out of it by saying I was allowed in the back. After leaving I used the GPS on my phone and discovered where I was. I realized I would have to walk about 5 miles back. My sister and cousin, who emerged from no where, told me to just go back and get my car. Liking their idea more than a 5 mile walk, I used the jet pack feature on my dob again, flew over the circus/zoo, and woke up.

:]

I had several dreams, and I even became lucid for about a minute or so. I attempted DEILD, but I was VERY exhausted which I believe impaired the lucidity and affected my dream recall, and I also kept waking up throughout the night.

My first dream I was in a movie theatre. it was a really big one with several stairs and an upper level. I was up there with someone named erica, but eventually met up with someone named madison. Looking at the movies that were playing, there was some deluxe offering to see Zombieland for $22.95 (wtf.?) and there was also a movie for Harper's Island.

That was right whenever I woke up. I stayed as still as I could, and attempted a DEILD. I'm not so sure if this worked, but in the next part of my dream something was chasing me. It felt as if I was running through mud, which told my I was dreaming, so I went into my house and into my room. I looked at my alarm clock, and for some strange reason it was blurry, like it is if I don't have my glasses. So after squinting as it, I looked at it then looked away. The second time it was a completely different time.

This lucidity did not last very long at all, but with the minute that I had, I tried to imagine a friend of mine being there that I haven't seen in a year. I started to wake up, but I was waking up too fast to try the spinning or hand rubbing.

Sometime throughout the night I was walking/driving around the parking garage to do Summer P.E. (OMG Writing this stuff is amazing to help you remember it.!!)

Another dream, in this long 10 hour sleep, was that I had shower curtains that were LOST themed. I was looking into one of them, and my dream shifted so that I was there. In my dream the Others (season 1-esque) had made a bunch of footprints on the beach. Me, and several others, began chasing after whoever made the footprints. After catching up to 2, they turned out to be creepy skeletons.

The last part of my dream was where I owned several cats, who turned out to be vampire cats, and when I got other cats, they were also vampire cats, so they were all fighting, and this was a super bizarre one... "/

For the past 4 nights I've been keeping a dream journal and improving my dream recall and reading up on all this lucidity info in hopes I'd eventually obtain it.

So last night before I went to bed I was sure to check a digital clock 3 or 4 times as a 'reality check'. My dream started out normal (as normal as they get :/ ) and after dreaming for about 30 minutes (it's kinda hard to keep track of time..) it transitioned so that I was in my kitchen. Remembering the whole reality check, I looked at the clock on the microwave. '8:46'. I look away, and look again: '8:47'. Looked away then immediately back: '8:48'. One more time: '8:49'.

To my surprise I didn't really start freaking out about going lucid and realizing I was in a dream. It felt somewhat natural. I read on here that people often instantly start trying to do stuff like flying and get excited and waking up. When reading stories on here I always told myself first time I got lucid I would play it cool, and not try anything. So with this discovery that I was sleeping I was up on my feet and walking around outside. It felt as if there was absolutely no air resistance around me, and I could move so freely. It felt amazing.!!

Perhaps I need more practice with dream recall, or more practice being lucid, but my memory started drifting away on what happened once being lucid. I felt myself started to wake up, so I started rubbing my hands and spinning. It worked, but I think that was the end of my dream. Afterwards I think I just sort of dream-lessly slept. I don't even remember waking up, but I did do like 5 reality checks to make sure it wasn't an FA. lol

So hopefully I'll be able to become lucid again, and next time I'll do something cool like flying, telekinesis, or banging someone. :]

I was in a really big vacant hotel/house (like The Shining) that was filled with ghosts. I saw several of them. Later, I was walking down a creek, with many people, most of which was unfamiliar with.

There was some strange lady at a podium discussing this new 'rock/circular mechanical device' that you stick into your ear, and you can hear other people's thoughts. I put it into my ear and was able to hear quiet, mysterious whispering.
