Dream 1 - Eavesdropping
I'm sitting in a bus with a guy called Jamie in the seat in front of me. He's talking to someone sitting next to him about how his girlfriend is having these mood swings, he wants to break up with her because she's getting to be a handful or something. I chip into the conversation and say that if she's suddenly started having mood swings for no apparent reason then she should go to the doctor, it's likely to be chemical or psychological or something that can be assessed.

Kind of a random dream, it comes from yesterday when we were on the bus ride back, Jamie is the person that just doesn't stop talking

Dream 2 - Sexy time
Me and my girlfriend are in the kitchen, I'm just in the corner of the room and she walks up to me and kisses me, we start fooling around and getting hot and heavy. Woot

I ignored a lot of the longer dreams I had last night because I felt they were incredibly mundane and boring... to the point where I just couldn't be bothered even trying to think about them. *Sigh* Was a bit too tired for lucid dreams last night I think.

Dream 1 - I got kidnapped (happened 2 nights ago)
I'm in a homely bar or something, and a person who is doubling as a friend of mine walks in and is pretending to be him but I know he isn't... (the face of the person looks like no one I know). I can't make him mad or something though, so I have to pretend he is my friend, I help him connect to the internet on a laptop in the bar as I believe his intentions are to steal some stuff if he doesn't get what he wants. He ends up kidnapping me instead, because he thinks I'll be more valuable and can help him get what he wants. We're now on an island similar to Master Yoshi's home island on Dragonball Z, the water is blue and there are tropical trees and a small white house. I have to pretend to be his friend still, I know that the only way I can get off the island is if my real friends save me, which can only happen at a certain time due to the ocean currents changing their flow temporarily for 1 day... This leaves a very small window of opportunity. I remember finding something that I can use to get in contact with my friends, I rush through typing something out to them and then throw it as far as I can into the ocean before the 'fake' sees what I've done. He shows up and says something like "Oh wow you've done a number on that one", and is holding the broken thing I threw. I'm hiding my anticipation for escaping the island, I know that I've been on the island for something like 180 days and that the ocean currents are about to change. For some reason I think there is a sunset and it meant that my friends missed the window of opportunity, but they only just manage to make it to me and the next thing I know there is a train track around the house that the fake is trying to escape on, we've become the trains from that thomas the tank engine kids show (this part only lasted like 20 seconds), the driver is the fake friend and is trying to escape but I pull him out and throw him on the ground, he smashes like a lego piece and can't move because his arms and legs have fallen off. Me and my friends turn to leave now, as we leave I turn around again to find the fake sailing away on the grass on a miniature sail raft thing (He has arms and legs now and looks like a super tiny pirate).. the scenery is different too, it's more like the outside of my parents house in the yard. My memory connects him to the bar at the start where he apparently had put up these posters to draw attention (it doesn't make sense at all). He sails away on the grass into the bush so I run and catch him, I throw him off and show him the poster, "This is what started it all aye, not so proud now huh" I toss him aside and the day is won. Me and my friends head back to the bar now, there is a big celebration and party, the bar is quite cosy with dark brown wooden walls and lots of people. The focus is on these 2 people playing darts, a guy and a girl. The guy is known to be really good and the girl is an unknown, she gets up and challenges him. She has long dark brown curly hair, brown eyes and tanned skin. She turns out to be really good at darts and wins and everyone is cheering her on... And that's the end of my random dream O_O.

Dream 2 - Car crash (happened last night)
*Nightmare*
All I remember from this dream is that me, my girlfriend and my daughter were in a ute, my girlfriend was driving and we were in a forested suburban area. We seemed to be coming back from my field trip (of which they weren't a part of irl) where I had just taken a lot of strike and dip measurements for the regional geology. She drove up to a stop point and stopped, but as the way was clear and she started to drive on she suddenly stared blankly off to the distance with a glazed over look... She kept on driving and I had begun to shout something like "road road road!" or "turn turn turn".. something panicked and unsettled because we were heading straight for a wall and she was completely spaced out. I could only think of my daughter getting hurt and how scared I was, then we slammed into a cobblestone wall and I woke up.

Had to post these pretty late so details are missing and there aren't many dreams, I've been working in the field for the past 4 days away from home so I haven't had internet.

Mapping out a fault zone:
This pretty much recapped my day of field mapping in a gold mineralized fault area... Me and my classmates were outside with our field gear, we split into groups and were following the fault zone. I remember being near a cliff that we were planning on climbing down to follow the fault line, I was in a group of 3 I think. The area itself is grassy, full of tussock and these annoying spike plants, there was a river running through the valley at the bottom of the cliff, and loads of rocks outcropping on the other side of the valley.

This dream happened about a week ago but I was away and couldn't post it.

It started off in a movie theater with a woman next to me, I wasn't myself though, I was a large bald man. We were talking about who looked like the most dangerous person in the theater. The woman pointed to someone and I disagreed, "nah nah nah, see that guy over there with the tattoo on his face?". She turns over and looks, he has a tattoo that symbolizes he's been in prison or something. I turn my face a bit and for some reason I have the same tattoo on my face... This is weird and she sees me as dangerous now. A large gap in the dream continuity occurs at this point which puts her as a parent of our little baby, she's a sex addict now and I've just gotten out of prison (Again.. I suppose?). For some reason I'm not allowed to visit on certain days and I get the hunch that she's cheating on me, so I visit regardless and run down some stairs trying to catch her in the act. Instead I see some seriously messed up stuff... She's sitting cross-legged on a white bed in a white box shaped room, tears are pouring down her face and she's holding a gun and shooting blanks over and over and over... The baby is crying helpless next to her and she ignores it, I run up to the woman and take the gun off her and try comfort her and make sure she is okay. The baby rolls off the bed, I change the baby's nappy and calm her down, then I wake up.

Pretty uncomfortable dream tbh and I hope I don't experience that again...

To get these lucid dreams I used the SSILD technique with WBTB after ~4-5 hours of sleep.

Lucid #9 - Minecraft I guess
I kind of wake up in the dream world knowing that it's a lucid dream, it's dark and I question whether I'm even asleep. I'm also pretty scared because I had some scary though or something before falling asleep, I just willed the emotion away which worked pretty easy. I use my willpower and the world around me becomes lighter and lighter and I manage to find an exit to outside. It's nice and bright outside now, I'm wandering around and the first thing I notice is that everything is minecraft-pixelated, everything is blocky and there are cliffs and trees all around me, even I'm made of blocks. This dream only lasts a few minutes.

Lucid #10 - Sexy time
Once again I'm just aware that it's a dream and my goal becomes more sexual, so I start kind of testing it since I've never tried it in a lucid dream. I was on a farm by a fence and I think there are 2 girls.. and I'll leave that part out .. After a while I just seem to wake up again, probably a bit longer than the last lucid, maybe ~5-10minutes.

Lucid #11 - Sexy time again
I wake up at about 9 and think that I should probably get up, but I end up falling back asleep. I'm lucid again and I'm at my parents house now, and I seem to be trying to have more sexy time, but then something happens and I'm off wandering around again. I decide that I should try find that girl again so I walk around looking for her, then I seriously start to doubt whether or not it's a dream... EVERYTHING is perfect, the house looks exactly like the real thing, it doesn't 'feel' like a dream and there's nothing remotely dreamlike happening around me... It just feels normal. I then rationalize through it, remembering where I should be and that there's no way I could be at my parents house, I then say in my head "it's definitely a dream damnit". I turn my head to the doors down the hallway and they seem to stretch out a bit as I will something to happen, the feeling that I know this is a dream comes back. I then run towards it (which takes a while because it was still stretching away from me) and push through the doors, I run outside and look for that girl and shout her name now, confident that my parents won't bother me since they're not real. She appears around the corner and I get her and take her back to my room. Sexy time happens again so I'll leave that out, also I was convinced it was night time in real life because the world around me was getting darker, so I willed the world to light up again and it worked.

Notes: These lucids were pretty low level and I felt like I had a lot of control, they were progressively become more realistic with each successive lucid, but they weren't particularly vivid.

I've been inactive with DV for a while now due to just enjoying the holidays with my family and keeping on top of things in life, now I've gained some free time to catch up on things.

Lucid 1: Was out camping for about 8 days and one night just had a random lucid.
I was running out of a building towards a beach on a nice summer day, in the distance I could see a beautiful woman walking towards me, she was under a big Pohutukawa tree which was in full bloom. The beach was white sand and in my peripheral vision the ocean was to my left and green hills to my right. I seemed to realize it was a dream and contemplated becoming 'lucid', then thought "Yeah sure, might as well", and looked at my hands. I became lucid as I did this and it didn't last long, I felt the dream slipping away, then I remembered that spinning sometimes stabilized the dreamland so I gave it a shot... I start spinning in a circle and I feel the dream coming back to me again, but I felt like my lack of experience let the dream slip away in the end.

Dream:
Last night I remembered meeting my flat mate Oliver and seeing him talking to my other flatmate Phillip, I come out and say hi and he gives me a nod and smile.

Okay so I woke up around 2-3, I haven't done anything with lucid dreaming for a month or so, haven't even written any dreams down. This is mostly because my baby wakes up a lot during the night so I just find it too difficult at the moment.

When I woke up I didn't get up or anything, I was going to go straight back to sleep, but I noticed that for some reason I could feel myself slipping into a dream, then the vibrations started (for me, this seems to occur mostly around my jaw with the unpleasant feeling of grinding my teeth). Next thing I knew I was in a dream, lucid and in my bedroom, I got out of bed and saw some crazy vivid flashy colours coming from objects sitting on a chair that isn't usually there. I turn my head to the wall and think to stabilize, I also realize I'm floating about as if it was low-gravity. I try shouting 'stabilize!' a few times but I can't really talk, I wake up a few seconds after I got into the dream and turned the light to make sure it wasn't an FA. My gf woke up too, and she confirmed in the morning that I did indeed turn the light wasn't too happy about it though lol.

Dream 1 - On a bush track
I'm running along a bush track, there's dense shrubbery (nothing tall or above head-height) on either side of me and it's a sunny day. I'm not too far from the coast and I'm heading away from it, uphill. I trip over something and land with my hands halting my fall, there is a huntsman spider ear and I scramble away from it. I have the feeling like it can't really do anything to me but I still felt the need to get away from it.

Dreamlets - Something about seeing my friend D, playing a guitar, another scene where I'm running behind my other friend S and I'm really slow for some reason.

Note: Have been slowed down lately by chores and friends + general holiday relaxation and not wanting to do anything.

Dream - Vampirism
I seem to be some kind of vampire that can disguise myself by changing the colour of my skin. The world is similar to the series RWBY, and I'm infiltrating a Faunus hideout to drink their blood. I do this by changing my skin colour to green so they think I'm a Faunus too.

Note:
Kept falling asleep during SSILD cycles, eating a snack wakes me up more so I'll have to try find a decent midnight snack.

Dream 1 - Choose a dream (3:09am)
Vaguely remember this dream, something about choosing which dream I wanted to go into next, there were sheep involved and I think someone I knew was playing a guitar and the started playing a song that I've been learning, but they were showing off about it or something.

Dream 2 - Fish & Chips
I'm walking through my hometown at night, I'm in the parking lot and I see my friend D. He seems to have a job at the local fish and chips shop, he offers to make me a meal but it wasn't fish and chips, it was like some crazy dessert pavlova-look-a-like that was super extravagant and exotic.

Dream 3 - WILD (closest thing I've had to a WILD success)
I'm trying to go through my SSILD cycles, I start to notice a WILD transition come on (vibrations and hypnogogia). I try not to focus on them too much like I did the other two times this is happened to me (which I screwed up >_<) and nearly lost it at one point. But then I realized I could egg the vibrations to intensify by using my jaw, tensing it or something. The vibrations intensify to an extreme level, my jaw is buzzing and grinding and vibrating so much the I feel like my tooth is about to break. I make it to the dream, but as I do this my tooth shatters.
I think "Oh ****, my tooth!" My first instinct was to wake up, so I do this and hop out of bed, I spit the tooth into my hand, I can feel the missing slot in my mouth where my tooth was... I stare at the tooth in my hand in disbelief...
I wake up. I had been in a false awakening

I had a near WILD experience again last night, the 3rd I've ever had. I was lying in bed after a WBTB at around 5ish, I could feel some intense vibrations, I could hear them buzzing too. I could also see some slight visuals starting to manifest, like a small light in a sea of darkness. The whole thing was short lived as I once again screw up the transition. I also noticed my jaw being clenched up and offset in an odd position as I was coming out of the experience, I do a few reality checks to make sure I wasn't having an infamous SSILD false awakening but I wasn't sadly .

Dream 1 - Tardis + Rescue
Me and someone else are planning to steal the Tardis (for those of you who don't know what this is, it's the time travelling police box from the Doctor Who series), we look around for the area where it's supposed to appear. We seem to be peering through a window into an area that is so indescribable... Like a 70s trippy visuals effect was going on in the background and everything was floating. Now I'm somehow in a library but it looks extremely similar to my kitchen. I see a book outside that contains more information on the Tardis, I go outside to read it. I seem to be sitting down on the bricks by the doors where I usually sit to relax on a sunny day, a crew member from the Tardis walks past the glass window behind me, he has his daughter with him. The crew member scowls at me. I find a box that contains lots of little books in it for reading to little kids and babies etc. They're the same as what I read to my daughter in WL, and I think to myself how I should have stolen these instead of buying brand new ones. I think about this and decide that this a dumb idea. I read through the books for about a minute, they're worn out and missing bits of the cover photo. I then blur into a new scene where I'm trying to save a girls family from a guy with a sub machine gun. We're in a woodland area that has tall thin evergreens and light brown dirt, it reminds me of American-type forests (at least from what I've gathered from movies). The crook is hiding in a wooden-log house, I can't remember what happened but somehow I win against him, I realize now that his weapon has no ammo. He says something along the lines of "I guess it still counts as a criminal offense...", insinuating that even though the family was never in danger he will still get in trouble. The girls family is no where to be seen, and it's now the girl who I was actually saving (some kind of dream screw up in the plot). The girl runs up to me and hugs me, I feel like she's my daughter. A woman nearby comments on me saying "That's what you call a good role model".

Dream 2 - Sex
Fooling around with a girl, shouldn't need to go into details. We were in my home though and it was daytime.

Dream 3 - Rock Throwing
I'm on a beach and I'm getting chased, I run across rocks and sand, leaping acrobatically around. I leap onto the edge of a ledge a few metres high and hook my leg into a crevice to support myself. There is a girl reading a book on the top of the ledge not even noticing me, and there's four people below me on the beach who were chasing me. They're looking up at me, I throws down at them and they throw a few back. I catch 2 of the bigger rocks and hurl them back, 1 of them cracks into 3 rocks and hits 3 of the people on the top of their heads. I can feel myself slipping ever so gradually as the feel of the dirt on the ledge slides a bit. I decide to get a better vantage point, and swing myself into the crevice I'm supporting myself on. It's tight and dark, I'm lying flat and there's no room to move. I shouldn't have even been able to get into such a place. The entrance is horizontally oriented and is only open a crack, I seem to realize though that I won't have trouble getting out if I just realized a certain something (slight awareness increase), but I wake up.

Dream 1 (12/11/2014)- Scenic Neighbourhood
I'm walking along an unlaned road in a scenic neighbourhood similar to where I grew up. I end up with a girl who I think is an ex-girlfriend, we're in her room and we're trying to fool around. We're trying to keep quiet so her family doesn't know what we're up to, and she gives me a condom too, but it's kind of broken or something and I have to go find more. I find some in a bag that's supposedly mine, I feel like I'm doing something wrong now though, as if I were cheating or something and I slip in consciousness.

Last night I nearly had a WILD, felt myself going into the dream and then I was like "Um what do I do" since I haven't got a clue how to WILD and it kind of just happened by accident. I got caught up in a conversation inside my head with my girlfriend and I thought she was there with me (she is in another town atm) so I tried to tell her that she was distracting me. I then got really fidgety, I need to itch and scratch my arms and neck and hair, then I felt like I had to roll over and in less than 30 seconds with all this occurring I had completely lost it
So I still haven't had a WILD yet :/. Also I had terrible dream recall last night, only recalling the last dream I had.

Dream 1 - Wandering the school-mall
I'm in school and it's lunch time, I saw my friend leave before me and decided I'd try find him and hang out, since I'm a transfer student and he's my only friend. I seem to remember him having tanned skin and short black hair but I never saw his face. I walk upstairs and see a group of people I'm familiar with, they're playing ball, I continue on up another flight of stairs. Now I'm in the mall, which is a part of the school apparently. I walk through the mall, it's got calm yellow lighting and the scenery is quite nice looking, like it's been polished or something. As I'm walking I meet a couple of guys who want to play ball, and I seem to be holding 2 balls, 1 is a basketball and the other is some other kind of ball that I didn't want to use. I throw the ball to one of the guys but he couldn't catch it and it went behind him and crashed into a shop. He runs and picks it up, then throws it back, I catch it then throw it to the other guy and yet again it crashes into another shop. I no longer want to play the ball game, since I don't want a teacher to tell me off. The guys are annoyed at me and say something like "We want to keep playing!", I turn around and see a teacher where we had just been playing so I continue on again and ignore the 2 guys. As I'm walking back down the mall to the stairs, I pass by a window where I realize my friend is in, catching a peripheral vision glance at him. I think that he's having dinner with his girlfriend so I don't want to intrude and continue on (this time the friend looked like my flatmate O too, instead of the randomized classmate at the start of the dream).

Dream 1 - Hotel of Slaves (I waited a bit long to write this one down)
I'm in a hotel with someone, I think we're casually arguing about something. The wall next to us is beneath the stairs, it gets knocked down to reveal a row of slave women with collars around their necks. They're all elves too, and we're a bit dumbstruck by this. Also we realize they probably heard everything we were arguing about, but they all look expressionless and just sit kneeling on the ground, stair at the floor blankly. We hear a servant coming up on the elevator to our room, we jump in beside the servants to hide (I think this is because we think we'll get in trouble if they know that we know that they keep slaves). The servant looks around and sees we are gone (the pushed down wall is out of sight from her standpoint), she is an elf slave too, and she walks up the stairs above us. We sigh with relief thinking that she's gone now, and decide we should do something about the slaves and wall. But beside us a long electric-blue looking snakes coils its way down a pipe from the top of the stairs, it transform into the elven girl from before, and I wake up.

Dream 2 - Life is Cruel
This dream happens in a time where things were way different, like without cars and stuff.
The start of the dream: There is a woman, her ankle broken from being bitten by a monster and then she crawled somewhere safe only to die, either of blood-loss, cold, hunger, or all of those.

End of the dream: A woman is crying by the lakeside, her husband had abused her and she wanted to get away. I see things unfold through the eyes of another man with dark skin, he confesses his love for her but she is too distraught to acknowledge him, he is crushed and watches as a crocodile tries to kill her. The woman kicks it away brutally. In the distance her husband is being ripped apart by a horde of crocodiles in the water, he's fighting them but they overpower him. The woman walks away, and she has to travel across a swarm of writhing snakes, they snap at her but she goes untouched, in my mind I realize she gets bitten soon, on her ankle, but I don't witness it. I only realize that she will soon be the same woman as in the start of the dream, and I wonder if I will see how it is that she dies.

Dream 1 - House Party
In my flat house, my flatmate has decided to throw a party to celebrate the end of exams. I'm not really interested in the party and I just decide to chill out in my room, but I have to go get the door at some point because no one else was. I peer outside to see a group of people, I see a couple familiar faces, and tell them to come on in. As they walk in I get a better look at their faces, I make eye contact with one and think 'hmm that looks R'... Then look away kind of puzzled. Then I go 'oh shit! That's R!', we look back at each other suddenly and we get ready for some fisticuffs. Everyone in the party is a little shocked that a fight suddenly broke out.

Dream 2 - Crime Scene
I'm walking along at night with a couple friends, some guy who punched me at a party earlier on in the night (I forgot this part of the dream) ran up to us from the liquor store across the road. He wasn't trying to start a fight this time though, he had a white shirt and blues jeans, a pimply face and blonde curly hair. We all end up having to run because someone starts chasing us. We run up a hill and as I reach the top of the hill I see police, they're gathered around a crime scene. Headless bodies lie scattered about, blood is everywhere, part of me is stunned, the other part is intrigued. Even the police are flabbergasted, they don't even know what to say to us, so I ask an officer about the crime. "Someone reenacted a portion of the story from the Dragon Play that's playing in the city".
Basically to summarize this play, a person kills all the guests that enter his house because they sin whenever they enter the premises of another persons home or something, and then there's a dragon in it at one point.
I head to the city to try and track down the culprit, determined to end his/her brutal killing spree. I was armed with the knowledge that it might likely be multiple people, since the heads of the people had be severed simultaneously and all by the same blade in one clean slice. An idea popped into my head at this point that was something along the lines of gunpowder powered guillotine that could cut off the heads of multiple people in one sweep. Imagine multiple head + hand locking things stacked on each other, each person is separated by a plank they can lie on. Then the guillotine is let loose and is propelled through all their necks by the force of the gunpowder. I kind of woke up at this point debating if that even made sense or if it actually existed.
