Kevin's dream adventures

[kevtegr8]

Alright welcome to my dream journal, I have been keeping a journal since January 8th as an attempt to achieve dream lucidity. On January 19th I had my first lucid dream and my second on the 20th. So I decided to start writing them online. Alright so here is the key: Regular dreams are in black Lucid dreams are in blue Thoughts and comments are in red

Fire in the Night Lucidity:very low Vividness: good to very low to good I am talking to my school counsler Mrs. Tucker about drugs. I asked her what drugs she did when she was a kid. As she’s talking I notice a round window behind her is moving in an irregular fashion like the backgrounds in the movie waking life. It then occurs to me that that could not possibly happen and I must be dreaming, I do a reality check and bingo. As I did the reality check I stopped paying attention to my surroundings and when I once again shifted my mind to it I was in a void. Thinking my dream was ending I quickly went about my first order of lucid dreaming business, summoning fire. I held out my hand and a torrent of flame issued forth. I then began noticing my body laying in bed and a little while later I was fully aware of being in bed. I knew I was still dreaming though, I waited a little bit, opend my eyes and just jumped from my bed through my window. My window acted as a portal and I found myself in an intangible univers, everything was blurry and non-concrete and nothing was solid. I saw a something, my words want to say a clown but I know it was not, but for the sake of the story the closest description is a clown. I shot a fire ball at the clown and soon there after I had another false awakening. I got up and I had a sleeping mask on, which I do not wear but I left it on because I thought that if I kept my eyes closed, I could still exert dream powers as an overlay into the waking world. I went to my parents room and woke them up, exclaiming about how I just had my first lucid dream. I then shot dream fire at them, which I thought was just fire that only I could see because I was still half dreaming. I then went back to my room, wrote the whole thing down in my dream journal and went to sleep. A couple seconds later I woke up for real.

The asshole Truck Inspecter Lucidity:very very low Vividness:extremely hight Im driving my moms car north down Los Carneros road and I have Cody and Zane in the car. In my dream there is a large dark forest on the right side. During a particularly difficult left turn my car goes careening into the forest. Once I am in the forest the I cannot see out of the window shield, its pitch black and the lights wont turn on. We get out of the car and the three of us are able to push the car back up the path of distruction and back onto the road. From here until I am on the road again my memory lapses but I find myself alone and driving a log. The log has wheels but it is incredibly slow and the other cars on the road zip by me as if I was standing still. I begin wondering why I am driving a log when it hits me “I must be dreaming” I do a reality check and I have confirmation however I only casually accept it. I decide that because I am dreaming I don’t need to drive a log so I get off, I then decide to steal a car from somebody. I stand in the middle of the road ready to stop the next car. A car approaches and I hold my ground, hand outstretched ready to stop it however the car does not slow. I wait till last minute and then dive out of the way right before it collides with me. I then pick myself up and decide to go for something bigger. A semi-truck should do the trick, so I wait for a truck to come and as one rushes by me I attempt to grab on to no avail, it yanks my hand and Im forced to let go. The next one that comes I begin with a running start, I manage to grab a hold right as it was accelerating so my choice of a handhold was not ideal. I am grabbing onto a thin piece of metal that is digging into my fingers and my body is flying horizontally behind me. I grab a hold of an air vent and I feel the wind sucking past my fingers, I remember the feeling was so vivid. I pull myself towards the driver door and yank it open crumpling in. There is no driver, so I quickly take control of the wheel. I hadn’t driven more then 100 feet when the whole truck stops suddenly and begins lifting upwards the sound of a hydraulic elevator apparent. Red lights begin flashing in my windowshield and a voice over a loudspeaker enters my head ordering me to “step out of the vehicle” “disengage my load” and prepare for boarding. I then start to worry because I don’t even know what I’m transporting. I get out and there is a railing around the base of the front of the truck. I attempt to detach the back but I realize that I don’t know how. A man comes around and confronts me. “I’m going to teach you a lesson” he says and he is holding a cattle prod. I think hes bluffing and I remember that it is a dream so Im not even worried in the least. Then he walks up to me and shocks me with it. The electricity enters my body and my single thought is escaping from the pain. I grab the prod but the tip wips around like a snake and shocks my forearm. I recoil in pain unable to stop the electricity. I am screaming in pain. The dream dissolves and I feel my real body, I then realize what is happening and try to stay in the dream, I am then shocked again and I open my eyes, fully awake.

Giant Squid I am in the tropics with my family and my family's friend Trish. We are on a small boat and Trish is taking many pictures for a calender she is making. Me and Trish put on deep sea diving suits and dive into the water only we don't go very deep, maybe 7 feet below the surface. We dont see much then suddenly a Giant Squid latches itself to Trish's head and its two huge eyes stare at me. I snap a picture and it goes away. Trish then gets out and back into the boat. I try to surface but I start to sink. I try some knobs on my suit and I sink more, at this point I start kicking towards the surface. I try a different button and it works, I become buoyant. I crawl onto the raft/boat and we moter away. We reach a port where a huge city lays. The city is the same city that was in the movie The Science of Sleep. I realize I could be dreaming and my family concurs. I do a nose plug reality check and shure enouph I am dreaming. Once my attention shifts back to the dream however, it rapidly dissapears and I wake up. When I wake up I believe it was a false awakening because I got up, went back to sleep for what seemed like twenty minits then got up and wrote it down in my dream journal.

The end of the known Universe False awakening: I got up, it was about 4:00 in the morning and decided to pack a bowl. I smoked quite a bit of weed, got really high and decided to go back to sleep. I then had a dream within this dream where I was sitting in class. I had a blanket with me witch I didn’t think was odd. For some reason I had some porn sitting on my desk so I decided to masturbate. It was quite difficult because I was trying to do it under the blanket without anybody else noticing. I gave up because the teacher started her lecture and I would have made to much noise and been noticed. Soon thereafter three or four people burst into the classroom and my teacher says they are her friends. They bring a movie and diligently start it up. The beginning scene can only be described as incredible. It was animated with things changing into other things much like the animation in the movie The Wall. At one point a mountain turned into a naked man. The movie starts becoming my dream at this point. And it is more of me passively observing the scene. The premise is basically a world where it is a ton of cartoon characters who know nothing but hate. It is literally a bunch of random cartoon figures attempting to kill anything and everything that they can see with no mercy. There is a road on the side of a mountain and I see a little tiny wizard holding a ball of magical plasma running. Something on a go-cart (possibly Mario) is trying to run him over. The little wizard dives toward the ledge and hangs on hoping the other character will think he fell off. At this point I embody the little wizard but I become me, a human of normal size. I am hanging on to the ledge and I peak over to see if the cart is gone, he isn’t and he rushes at me. I am forced to let go and I fall quite a ways banging onto the side witch breaks my fall. I land at the base of the mountain where there is a beach. Built into the side of the mountain there is a fine dining restaurant. I go along the beach and suddenly a bunch of angry humans rush me. One of them has a baseball bat, I dodge a couple and a full on brawl ensues, absolute chaos everybody fighting everybody. I guy with the bat swings at me and I dodge it but then somebody else grabs me and holds me. The other guys start beating the shit out of me and I am rendered helpless. I yell “stop!”. Everybody stops. I say “why don’t you guys go raid that restaurant, there is tons of mayhem to be had there. They all agree and form a mob rushing towards the restaurant. I scurry away and find a hidden entrance that takes me to the kitchen. Through the window I can see all the people enter and soon chairs fly and people die. Somebody spots me and a bunch of them start running towards my vantage point. I run towards the back diving through window after window. Once I make it outside I start climbing trees and jumping from tree to tree. This soon turns into me just flying. Once I start flying I realize that I can only fly in dreams. Exited I attempt to make a graceful dive but it ends haphazardly and I am barely able to retain altitude. I enter a building and collect myself. I feel my wrist and I am amazed at the amount of detail, I can feel my watch and everything is exactly as it should be. I then have a little fun flying through the ceiling into the attic and back down again. I then remember that I wanted to complete the task of the month and go to another planet. I first wanted to go home and get a gun, because having a gun would probably be more fun/safer when I went to a new world. I flew up and up hoping that when I turned around I could locate North America and find my house. Unfortunatly when I turned around I found myself in an empty room. The room did have a table in the center with a bin ontop of that. Inside the bin was the universe, darkness, stars everything. I got really scared and I dived back into the bin and back into the building. My friend Effie was there and he starts playing Mexican music on a portable radio. I tell him to turn it off and he just turns it louder. I figure Its probably music in the waking world and it would soon wake me up. I shoot into the sky but everything starts fading and I realize I have nothing to hold onto. The dream dissolves and I find myself in my bed. I did not realize it at the time but the bed was in the wrong place in my room, and my room was clean. My mom is out of my room yelling something and I worry that she smelled the marijuana smoke. I look around and I have no paraphernalia around and she enters. I don’t remember what she said but after that I wrote the dream down in my journal and while I’m writing I wake up in real life quite surprised.

Experimentation Lucidity:high Vividness:high due to control I don’t remember what tipped me off that I was dreaming, and I don’t remember what happened before I became lucid. I was flying over the ocean on the coast. It was a sunny warm day, there were surfers in the water, I tried to dive down and skim the waves but my flying was clumsy and I ended up landing on the beach. There was a summer camp, a ton of little kids playing dodge ball. I flew up again this time away from the ocean. There was a city with big buildings right by the beachfront. I thought “I need to test my dreaming powers what can I do?” I decided that when I passed the next building there would be absolutely nothing on the other side. Sure enough when I passed it I saw whiteness expanding for infinity. Then I realized I was in the void, and this usually ended in a false awakening that would make me lose my lucidity. So I thought, “Ill go with it” I let my mind snap back to my body and I opened my eyes. I was lying in bed; I did a reality check and confirmed that I was still dreaming. Exited I thought, “What am I going to do” I then remembered the task of the month. I went into my dad’s office to get a gun from his safe for my adventure to another planet. Unfortunately at this point I started losing sight, everything became blurry and I couldn’t feel anything. I yelled “Increase vividness!”…Nothing happened... I yelled it again “INCREASE VIVIDNESS” …nothing happened…I go into my room and find my cell phone, I figure the 7 button is probably the vividness button so I press it a bunch of times. Sure enough everything begins to snap back into focus. I then went not to my dad’s safe but to my hallway. I found my glock 19 airsoft gun and my fathers glock 17 with training bullets in it. I figure these are good enough because I am dreaming so I can just make them shoot real bullets. I then go back into my room, get a running start and dive headfirst through my window breaking the glass and flying into the air. I see the moon, its craters are exaggerated and it is growing slightly. I aim towards it and fly/swim hoping to fly past it and on to the unknown. I am making almost no progress and when I stop moving my arms and legs I float gently back to earth. Again I cannot get above treetop level. I imagine myself flying past the sun but this shuts off my focus from the dream, I hear my sister opening a cabinet door in the hallway and I wake up.

Lucidity: Medium Vividness: high I was at my elementary school playground. I was with my best mate Tim and somehow the conversation went to dreaming. He said “what if we are dreaming right now” this promps me to do a reality check by biting the inside of my mouth, I feel no pain so I get really exited. I do a test by floating David Blain style into the air except uber high. I am extatic, I’m telling tim “dude your not gonna believe this, we ARE dreaming right now!”. He is pretty much expressionless, I say to him “why arnt you exited? We can do anything! Lets have a wizard dual. He says “that means I don’t exist, I’m just a part of your imagination, this sucks balls.” I say “oh shit dude, Im sorry man”. (Sometime after this I end up in my room with Tim and my other friend Chris. After this lucid dream I had a false awakening and about another half hour of dreaming so my memory is a little sketchy.) Im in my room with Tim and Chris wondering what I should do. Chris says “lets go surfing” Im really stoked about this idea but BuzzKill Tim says “why surf? You can just do that in real life.” “oh yea” I think, I remember one of the lucid tasks of the month. I turn to chris and say “tell me something I don’t know” I don’t remember his answer and I think I had the false awakening right after or before he replied.

First successful dream spin Lucidity: Medium Vividness: high I am at Maravilla a retirement home where I work. I work in the kitchen for the dinning commons and my supervisor Larissa is getting upset with everybody. We are eating food and everybody she catches eating she sends home and gives him or her a write up. I am trying to hide and eat my food. I run into a girl I have a crush on at work, we shall call her “Angela”. We go outside where there is a clearing under an open sky. We lay down together stargazing and begin groping each other. I remember seeing shooting stars. Just as she begins fondling my penis lovingly a giant screen that was previously unnoticed lit up. This screen was huge and it towered right above us. As soon as it went on a preview for a movie started playing. We quickly ceased our sexual endeavor (much to my dismay) and scooted back to get a better view of the screen. The preview turned into a movie in which the baboon in the lion king betrayed all the other characters and began hunting them down. I got board of the movie and when I decided to stop watching I was at home in the living room. My sister comes in wondering what I’m watching, I tell her “nothing” and she goes away. I find myself walking towards my friend Matt’s house with nothing on but socks and I am carrying a blanket. I realize that I cant go to Matt’s house with nothing on so I turn around to go back home. I then try to remember why I am even here naked to begin with. I think “maybe I’m dreaming” and a reality check confirms my suspicion. Ecstatic I fly up into the air. Matt, my other friend Zane, and my dogs run out of his house. I say to Zane “this is lucid dreaming, isn’t it great!” he is exiting and impressed. My dogs follow me and I try to get them to fly but they are completely uninterested. I think “I wanna do something but first I should bring the dogs home” I fly down, grab the dogs by the collars and dream spin to my kitchen. Once I'm in my kitchen I let them go. I then try to fly up and phase through the ceiling but my head just bumps into the plaster. I think “oh crap, maybe I’m not dreaming.” I look around and I see my mom sleeping on the couch in the living room. I then look and see her on her computer in the kitchen. I deduct that she too is sleeping and I inform her of this fact. She doesn’t believe me and during our conversation I feel myself slipping out of the dream state, I go with it thinking I could just go with a false awakening as I have done before but I open my eyes, do a reality check and wince at the pain.

Beauty and the beach Lucidity: high Vividness: high I am in my house, it is a prison and my dad is the prison guard. There are a bunch of inmates and everybody is being handed a gun for the break to come. I receive a nifty looking large caliber handgun. I set it down momentarily and somebody takes it. I have to get a new gun which was a M11A1. I was pretty distraught with my gun change so I tell the guy who took it “you are going to be the first person I’m going to shoot when the bullets start flying.” “Just so I can take my gun though, its nothing against you personally.” Sometime after this I become lucid, I don’t remember what tipped me off. My dad takes everybody outside and I am left in the house. I quickly go to my room remembering I wanted to fly to the beach while making my surfboard orbit me and glide into the waves. My surfboard is not in my room (because this is a dream, I can just make my pillow turn into a surfboard) I thought. I grab my pillow and crash through my window flying up. I let go of my pillow and successfully make it float next to me, however as soon as I change directions it fails to copy my coarse. The pillow soon falls behind and I move on without it. I am flying towards the beach and there is somebody else flying with me. We have a conversation and it goes something like this. Me: you know your not really conscious right? You’re just a figment of my imagination. Him: that’s not true, I am self-aware Me: are you self aware or are you just an illusion of intelligence? Some random voice(possibly subconscious?): All the characters you make in your dreams are alive and self aware as long as they are in existence. This made me think a bit But remembering my goal of surfing I fly to my local surf shop and steal a surfboard and some wax. I fly to the beach just carrying the board under my arm. The beach is amazing, it’s a summer afternoon and the water is crystal clear, the sand is fine. There are some people playing volleyball on the beach. Seeing the lack of waves and remembering that I have wanted to try playing volleyball in a lucid dream I ask if I can join them. It soon becomes apparent that in my dreams I am completely inept at volleyball. I cant even get to the ball fast enough to touch it. I decide to leave “sorry I gotta go do something” I tell them. At this point I remember my friend Susan wanted me to find her in a lucid dream. So I go up away from the water where there are some rocks and try to get the mentality that Susan will be over the next ridge. I go over and…nothing. The next ridge I try to think exactly what she looks like and think she WILL be over the next ridge. Its not Susan, there is this amazing gorgeous girl sitting on a rock. I ask her “what are you doing on this rock” “Waiting for you” is her response. I move a little closer very exited, the dream fades and I reach out attempting to grab something but there is nothing to grab, I become aware of my body and I’m awake.

Airboarding I got up at 9:00, ate toast, masturbated, and fell asleep. I became aware of my falling asleep process so I passively excepted it. I started trying to remember what the task of the month was to keep my mind off of all else. I am in my backyard. Sudden clarity. I go around to the front of my house and find my skateboard. I skate around and learn how to fly on it. I lean back. Find myself at a beach. I pick up a rock and there is clarity. I see a cruise ship on the horizon. I want to go to it. I feel my waist for a flashlight. Find one, I figure Ill want it to snorkel. Hard going, I find a paddle boat. There are other people. I ask one of them if he is my dream guide. He is a dumb ass. don't make it to the ship before my mom wakes me up.
