i had woken up at like half six and went to get a drink and stuff even caught up on some soaps I hadn't finished watching the night before. But one thing that was going through my mind was I couldn't for thee life of me, recall anything dream wise.

I am so exausted at the moment so I just shut off my phone and went back to sleep with the thought of how I need to start recalling my dreams and boom.i have a lucid.

I was at this holiday place with animals everywhere. I met a lady who worked there and told me I was welcome to work here because I was so good at working With animals. But as I was talking to this young lady I looked to the floor and when I looked back she was a middle aged old woman.

I was like i m not passing this oppotunity up so I shouted in her face IM DREAMING and then ran of demanding clarity. Obviously the first thing I wanted to do was talk to the guy I like so I shouted that I wanted to see him and sure enough he appears.

But I have this problem in dreams where once I know I'm dreaming my eyes refuse to stay open but I just kept repeating I CAN DO THIS and demanding clarity and it just about worked. But when I found the guy he was at a sleep over thing. I layer next to him and he told me we can't keep this secret any longer (what secret I don't know) he went to sleep and I closed my eyes next to him.

When I opened them I was back in my bed room. And I immediately picked up my tablet to write it down, I was like false awakening? No. i can read.


The eye thing happened in my last lucid too except I couldn't control it. So I guess baby steps and yayayayay I had a lucid. And I'm glad because my motivation was begging to frail.

HAYYYY.

I kinda went away for a while then a lot of... stuff went down... But whateves. I'm here now.

SO on the dream side of everything... I'm kinda sucking right now.

I wake up and I'm like okay what dreams did I have and I'll lay there till I remember but for like a week now my brain is just...

"No. I'm not going to tell you what you dreamt."

Literally.

I have this distant almost screenshot of the dream in my head, like you know when you try to remember a word and it's on the tip of your tongue but you just can't... reach it? It's like that but with a dream memory.

So..

yeah.

I'm sleeping rubbish though, and I mean RUBBISH. midnight to 2am... 3 to 4am... 6 to 10am, you get it. But it's touch and go.

I tend to listen to music when I can't sleep and it calms me but prevents me from actually going to sleep yet when I don't listen to it, I'm tense and can't sleep.

Ooh!

I just recalled something just because I was remembering the last dream I could recall...

I was leaving sainsburys with my weekly shopping and this lady comes up to me and asks me to take care of her baby for the day while she has a rest or something. So I do and when I come back she's still there. Me and the baby have a hard time paring because we had gotten really close.

Okay.

More sleep for tonight I guesssss...

Ever since that random lucid a week ago I have been having (and recalling) epic dreams. (Whenever I wake up in the night and acknowledge I am awake, I seem to remember my dreams better in the morning.)

I was planning to do a fild but I wanted to practice waking up via mantras alone first (Three am is my goal). (I did it the night before and woke up and 3:02 am And I was well happy ) I did mantras last night but I was pretty tired. It still worked but it was 3:53. And I was thirsty so I got up for a drink and couldn't fild... :'( Then I didn't get back to sleep till about six am.

I did however have a strange dream I recalled excellently.

I go to the local swimming pool and pass the receptionist. She's busy on the phone and it doesn't occur to me to go and pay. So I go straight to the changing rooms and then swim for a while. When I get out I have to pass reception again and I realise I hadn't payed.

When I look in my bag I realise I forgot my purse. I go up to the receptionist and say I forgot to pay and I don't have my purse. She is really kind and she tells me it's fine. She gives me a owe note and I promise to come back the next day with the money.

As I leave the reception to go outside I begin walking down the road. I see two police officers, I get nervous and walk a different way. But there are more cops that way. Infact in every direction there are cops. Eventually, two catch up to me and are like "You are under arrest." I try to say I've done nothing wrong and the red headed police lady asks why I was previously walking away from them. I don't answer and I get thrown into a police van.

There are three other people in there. Two guys, (One looking like eugene from buzzfeed ) and another old and slightly bald. Then a scared looking young blonde girl. They tell me they are all innocent and have no idea why they are here. They put us on a plane and the speaker tells us we are to all fall asleep. When I wake up I am alone and there is a blonde Ferret on the plane. I hold it and it loves me. (Random but I LOVE FERRETS so this isn't random to me )

Suddenly the other three come back and the girl is crying. I tell her I have a phone on me and she can borrow it to call someone. I think the dream ends just after the old guy confesses he likes me or something...

(Been having absolutely rubbish luck with lucid EVERYTHING recently, I think I had been trying TOO hard. But I posted on the forums and got some advice. The one that worked best was taking some time off lucid and dream recall all together. Just a few days after that I started remembering my dreams unwillingly and they would linger in my mind hours later. Then last night I HAD A LUCID. Pretty excited to get back into lucid stuff again but this time i'm going to be way more chill.)

*Dream is kinda personal so I'm just gonna post the end. I believe I wasn't lucid most of the first half of the dream so when I did a nose plug my time was limited. It lasted just minutes I reckon.*

I go into the car park and head to the car, (I am scarily aware that I am dreaming that I don't need to clarify or demand clarity) but suddenly, like the end of a movie or cartoon my vision suddenly shrinks in a circle fashion until I can't see anything. I manage to open my eyes but they felt tired and I could NOT keep them open. The brief flashes I got of where I was not in the car park, but in my room. I was standing by my chest of drawers and for some stupid reason my dream self thought that meant the end of the lucid dream. I flash between the carpark and my room until I am in the car park again, struggling to keep my eyes open. I demand clarity but It doesn't work and I lose lucidity and the dream ends.

So if anyone has any advice on why I couldn't control the dream despite my efforts, please do tell me. This is my first lucid since an RC in February this year. I'll be honest I really haven't been trying but I'm going to do a FILD later this week and The last time I did it I believe it worked so... yeah. I keep losing the motivation even though I love it.

Okay I'm going to stop now..

(I haven't posted on here in a while, but I have been keeping a dream journal in a pad. Recently I realised my dreams are almost always in context with my life down to a T. Like nothing is ever weird or strange. It's just everyday life- Going out with my family or friends and so on. So becoming lucid is that much harder. But last night, though it was still an average dream, something crazy happens.)

(Can I just add that I legit thought this was real life. Like it was super weird)

Semi lucid-ish.

I'm walking in my field with my best friend, our families quite a distance back. It's late evening so its pretty dark.

She suddenly tells me she has news. Then says "I'm moving to..." (I cant remember where she said but it began with an S and in a different country.)

Then she just breaks down crying and runs away from me. I catch up with her and start crying to and I hug her. I try to change them subject so I point to the distance and show her a flat field.

"In a dream recently I dreamt that field had a massive hill and I went sledding on it." (BTW THIS IS TRUE LOL) She shakes her head and laughs. "I want to go home now" She says so we do.

We kind of sit in silence and then something snaps inside of me. "You can't move away!" I scream to my friend and her family. "I need you" I suddenly cry again but something catches my eye.

This isn't their house so maybe... My dad suddenly appears and is like "Maybe you're dreaming" and I just say "I must be dreaming!" And i decide to do a reality check. My reality check at that moment was to see if i could read on my phone.

I get my phone out (I didn't realise at the time but my phone background had gone back to my first one: colourful swirls not the avengers one I have irl right now) I try to put my password in but my hands won't do as I ask.

I focus on the phone like my life depend on it and suddenly it unlocks. I go on instagram and try to read. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I CAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the words are above a picture not below and they make no sense.

The first sentence said "Green Run Cufflinks" and then i looked away and then looked back and it said "Queen Keeping Mould String." At first I was like i must be dreaming but my brain kind off switches off and I'm like "Nooo... I can't be"

I go home leaving my friends house sick of the situation and I go home. Only to find my bed in a completely different place in my room and some stranger sleeping in it.

(Then I wake up.)

(Is it just me or does anybody else look forward to finding out what our brains come up with while we're sleeping? It's like lucidity is a bonus... that i have yet to master.) Anyways...

So in the dream, I'm in a boarding school with bestie, (Every single one of my dreams has somebody I know In real life) and at first I'm under the impression it's an all girls but then I meet this boy. He says he will show me around and I agree leaving bestie to fend for herself (I don't see her again in the dream).

We go off and cause trouble for the students and teachers with pranks and all (but I have trouble recalling what happened after but) We had a lot of fun getting to know each other, he's like the brother I always needed. (Dream friendzoned xD)

I wish I could remember what he looked like or what his name was. I feel like I knew him but that my mind gave him a different face. Strange.

when I first woke up I recalled my dreams but as I became completely awake they left me in an instant. I was running late for my commitments as it was, so I didn't have a chance to attempt to remember them.

Gonna try harder tomorrow. At the moment I feel my Dream Recall is terrible, although it used to be great, and that if I did have a Lucid dream... I wouldn't remember it.

Actually now that I think of it, I have a very tiny dream fragment of being in some kind of hunger game.

The thing I don't understand about this dream is I'm not really afraid of anything in real life and this is the first scary dream i have had in ages.
------------------
I was cycling down this road with my best friend and then we suddenly arrived in this like 10 storey car parking lot and we
cycled to the top and PARKED our bikes. My friend goes and pays for the tickets and I wait for her to return.

She doesn't. Instead I am now all alone at the top of a very tall dark car parking building, so after looking around for my friend, I try to find my way out. But I cannot find a way down even though I managed to get up here. The I see this car cleaning group but they are far away and I vaguely hear them say they will take their break now. I call out but they don't hear me. One guy doesn't go to break.

I finally manage to get to him, a tall, broad middle aged guy... with no hair. I stutter and ask If he can help me back down and out.

He just looks around hastily and then without talking walks closer to me. I get the sense something is wrong and begin to run. He has a scary look on his face. I run as fast as I can but he is faster so I grab my phone out of my pocket and PRETEND to call my mom. (I remember thinking my phone had a really complex password so I thought he wouldn't know the difference between a real or fake call)

I cry down the line, now trapped in a corner of the building with the guy closing in. I say to the empty line how a guy is trying to kidnap me and when the guy notices i'm on my phone he backs down a little. I suddenly accidentally drop my phone and he sees it isn't even on and lunges for me.

I scream to high heaven and realise I am running again glad he doesn't have me yet. Then I notice these two security guards and I run like a mad person to get help. I quickly ask one to help but he says how there is a problem, he turns into a cat unpredictably. I ask the other security guard to help but he doesn't move at all. I grab the hand of the first security guard and run to my bike. He pedals and I sit behind, holding on so I don't fall.

He tells me his name is Dave Endurability and I randomly write it down on a coffee cup I am suddenly holding. (It works too. People are always saying how reading and writing is impossible in dreams but I wrote it down, in very messy handwriting, but it was still readable.)

He drops me off where my friend suddenly is, by the side of the road, and then I have a go at my friend but then realise I still have Dave there. I turn to thank him but he is gone.

I spend the rest of the dream trying to find him but all I find... Is a cat. (I forgot what he told me in the dream so I just had the TALKING CAT help me to find him.)
-------------------
So something that is really getting on my nerves is these weird, NON REALISTIC things are happening and I act like they are totally normal. But yeah. LOTS of room for improvement.

Woke up after like three epic dreams and FORGOT I HAD BEEN DREAMING and went to get a drink. I lost all of my dreams and the only thing I remember was part of the third dream where I was in some massive punch up.

[COLOR="#FFD700"]In a dream a LONG time ago I met this little blonde kid about 9 or ten who was EPIC at skate boarding (One of my favourite hobbies) and his name was Zelbell. I am so curious as to why my conscious named him that. But I only ever met him once and I haven't seen him since. I actually forgot about him. He's not real in real life but I feel like I know him. Then last night he came back into my dream and didn't remember me! Back when I saw him before I had really long blonde hair and since then I got it cut so I presume that's why he didn't remember me. It was so weird. But anyways, here's what happened...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was out with my mom, shopping or something and I decided to stay in the car when she went. Then I saw Zelbell fly past the car, on his skateboard, and I hop out the car eager to go find him. I rush down the hill and find him in the large alleyway covered in autumn trees and leaves, the same place I had met him before, and he suddenly stops and looks at me.

There's dialog but I don't recall it. A pair of rollerblades suddenly appear on my feet and we ride around together, still talking. Then I suddenly get the feeling I left Moshi and M (Code names for two good friends In real life) back in the car, even though they weren't there before I left.

I say to Zelbell that I have friends I want to introduce him to and he follows me back to the car. And sure enough when we get to the car Moshi and M are in there.

So I open the door and I say to the guys "Yo guys, this is Zelbell. He is ACE at skateboarding" and Moshi puts his hand out to fist bump Zelbell and says "Oh sick dude" But Zell bell suddenly gets to his feet and rushes away. Did I mention he is unbelievably shy? M looks at me I shrug my shoulders, slamming the door and running after Zelbell.

When I catch up I ask what's wrong and he says he doesn't remember me and I explain how my hairs been cut seriously short since the last time we met and he suddenly remembers me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then I suddenly wake up feeling really weird at how I met Zelbell again after all these years or how my brain even remembered him. It was so weird.

Also, over the last few days Moshi had been appearing in ALOT of my dreams.
