Lucid Dream # 49 of 2007

Reality check induced Lucidity

I'm having a work dream. My first clear memory is that I'm working and Twoshadows Is there working as well. She is quite tall, blond hair, and wearing a blue business style dress. I begin talking to her about Lucid Dreaming. And I'm thinking, that it's cool I'm working with someone that I can talk with about Lucid Dreaming.

I walk away for a moment, to do something work related. It suddenly strikes me as improbable that TS would be at my work. I pinch my nose, and I can breath!I'm quite surprised by it this time. The dream feels so real, that the only thing keeping me convinced I'm dreaming, is the fact that I can breath through a pinched nose. the only thing different, is that there are a lot of people I have never seen before. And of course, TS is there. I casually walk back to where TS is working. The whole time, I keep breathing through my pinched nose to stay sure it really is a dream. Once I get back to her. I quietly say, "Hey TS, were dreaming right now! Look I can breath through my nose." She doesn't seem real surprised. She does a reality check and can breath as well.We both start to walk off the job, and go find some adventure.

As were walking towards the exit, TS suddenly starts taking her cloths off! I'm very surprised at first. But, then I'm like, well no big deal. It can be fun to go around the dream world naked. As soon as that thought goes through my mind. I notice that everyone around us is taking their cloths off. I'm just standing there totally amazed, at how that one thought, caused everyone to get naked! Then, my boss comes around the corner, and he's naked too! He says, "You guys know it's a dream too, huh?" And he just keeps walking by.

The dream has taken on a life of it's own now, and I'm just watching in amazement as events unfold. Now, everyone seems to know it's a dream. And A mob of naked people go running for the exit door. Just about every one is outside now accept for one coworker. This one guy is still dressed, and he asks me,"wtf is going on!?"
"Don't you know?"I ask." This is a dream, and everyone is going outside to celebrate."
I tell him to pinch his nose and try to breath. He looks kind of confused, so I reach out and pinch his nose for him. He says" Oh," with a long dragged out oooooo. Just like he does in real life. Then he nods his head in understanding. And the two of us, are the last ones to leave the building.

Now, outside in the parking lot, everyone magically has there cloths back on. People are just hanging around talking and stuff. There is an excited happy feeling in the air. Everyone is all excited. TS, is hanging around some other people, just talking with them. I'm thinking it's kind of strange, that being the Lucid Dreamer she is. That she would just be sitting around doing nothing. I begin to levitate into the air. I rise to about roof top level. Then slowly float back down to the ground. Then, I begin doing hand springs across the parking lot. And I'm thinking about how much I enjoy being able to do that. Next, I run up the wall of a nearby building. I do a back-flip off the wall with a twist. And it's so cool! it's like I flip in slow motion with perfect control. And I land on my feet just right.

Then, I decide that I need to talk to TS. I walk over to her, and I ask her if she thinks the real TS will be upset if she hears she took her cloths off in my dream. And I ask her, if she thinks I should leave that part out of my journal. She gets a surprised look on her face. Then starts laughing, and says,"Oh I don't know about that." Then she starts talking to somebody else. I think about pressing her for a better answer, but then forget about it.

There is a building near by, with a cone shaped roof. I decide that I want to run up the roof of the building, and jump off the highest point. I easily jump up onto the roof, and it now seems much higher than it did a moment ago. I run up the slant of the roof, then leap into the air. (Boy do I ever love that feeling!) I begin flying across the parking lot.
I notice that the coworker. The one that I had pinched his nose earlier. He is levitating
around the parking lot, with a look of wonder on his face.

I fly on, and the parking lot gives way to the most beautiful landscape. I can't believe that I wasted so much time in the parking lot, when this place was so near by.
There are these hills that are very steep and high in some places. and in other places just kind of rolling along. they are all covered in a plush green carpet of grass. there are trees spread out here and there. All the leaves of the trees are in the most beautiful fall colors you can imagine. The combination of the shape of the land, and all the colors of it. Is just beyond words. You would have had to have been there to understand. I'm thinking about landing on one of the highest points, of one of the steep hills. when my alarm clock goes off and wakes me up.

Thanks for getting me Lucid Twoshadows!
Sorry about the nudity, That was totally out of my control.

That is so hilarious! I can't wait to see what Two Shadows says!

The ending sounded so beautiful.

Good night! and good dreams.

that is totally great man!

I love it how everyone knew it was just a dream and started randomly get naked and run out of the work ha ha

back flipping off the walls sounds great! and I can almost feel the excitment of jumping off the roof.

I love it how the landscape changed, some of the stuff you can see in dreams is incredible.

That naked dream party was hilarious! I love how everyone was celebrating that it was a dream. Very festive.

Thanks guys! Yeah, it's fun when DC's know it's a dream too. I used to do crazy things to convince them it's a dream. It's much eaiser now that I've learned the reality check. But, this time most of them already knew on their own lol.

And that last part of the dream was amazing. I have to make a point of looking for places like that when I get Lucid.

Not much sleep last night either. No recall this time. But, I was Lucid before I woke up from my nap. But the memory of it faded away really fast after I woke up, shitty.

Hey Caradon! I just read the dream you had with me in it. I would have commented earlier but I'm out of town and am finally having a chance to get on DV.

That's a funny dream! I'm not upset about the naked part, but I'm pretty upset about how boring I was in the dream.... You get to fly around and do dream flips while I just stand around??

C'mon, you've got to have that dream again, and this time I'll fly around with you and we'll have a great adventure. Sound good?

Anyway...thanks for letting me show up in your dreams.... It was fun to read.

A Lucid Dream!

Reality check induced Lucidity

I'm at an old restaurant job, and trying to do some prep work. Can't remember exactly what I was making. Every time I walk away to get something and come back.
somebody has moved my stuff, and is working in my spot. After about four times of this happening I start to get angry, and I say something about it. The boss is near by, and a few other people. People start giving me crap about being upset. I then lose my temper. And I shout,"I just want to know WTF is going on!" Then I repeat it.

It dawns on meThen, that maybe whats going on, is that I'm dreaming. Even though I don't really believe it at all. I pinch my nose and try to breath. And I can!I'm totally shocked by it. Even though I know I'm dreaming now, I have to do it a few more times, to be completely sure. In the meantime, while still doing reality checks. My boss has walked right up to me, and is getting in my face. He is pushing me up against the wall. And I'm standing there pinching my nose and breathing. (Lol, it's kind of funny.)
I'm completely positive it's a dream now.

My boss has me trapped against the wall, and his face is twisted in anger at me. he is wearing a white shirt, and he has black hair, with a trimmed black mustache and beard. I can't do anything with him in my way, and I suddenly get very sick of him. I pick him up by the waist, spin him around, and throw him over my shoulder. So that he is facing forwards. There is a big motorized mixing machine near by. The bowl is on it, and the bar that you connect the whip to, is spinning around really fast. (The whip is not attached.) I start to push him head first towards the whipping machine.(Not really intending to stick his head in it!)

I get him close to the machine, and he now has a look of pure terror on his face. I feel bad now, But I'm still angry at him. I push his face a little closer, then say "I'm just kidding! I'm not really going to stick your face in there! But this is a dream, and if I wanted to I could! You hear me!? If I wanted to, I could do it!" I set him down none to gently and start walking away. And I wake up.

That's the first time I was ever mad at a DC in a Lucid. Normally I forget about stuff like that, once I realize it's a dream and it doesn't matter. I think, it's just because he had me pinned up against the wall.

Really glad I didn't actually put him in that machine. I'd be feeling pretty shitty about myself right now if I had.

I sure am happy, I Finally trained myself to do reality checks in my dreams! It's such A perfectly simple way to know beyond doubt that your dreaming.

phew lol I was bracing myself for a really gory moment there lol

Nice one on the dream man.....lol its funny when it takes you by suprise and you have to do several RC's ha ha

Hey, thanks for reading!

phew! I was really thinking about leaving that out. Didn't know what you would think about that. But, it was a pretty important part of the dream. It triggered everything that happened next.

Next time I'll make sure your doing something more fun! It will be a great time.

I've had that happen to me to before, where a dream makes you think differently about someone. It's good when it changes things for the better.
sometimes you can get a better understanding of how you feel about a person from a dream you have.

Well for one thing, I live in San Jose so I'm safe. Really am feelin for all the people who lost their homes though. Second that dream I had is really making me think...I don't like it. Ever since that dream I can't stop thinking that the girl is so damn beautiful! I know it can't be right though. 1. I've never thought of her that way before 2. there's about a 3-4 year difference in age (I'm turning 16 on the 20th and she is about 19) 3. We differ on so many things 4. She is my sisters friend, who is just moving out after living with us for a few months. She is cool and fun to hang out with, but at the same time...there's absolutely no chance. It's around that time that I started drawing mostly women. Some of the sketches are really pretty, but I can't upload them because we lost the cable to the digi camera. In recent days, I spend my time like this: do nothing at school, come home and either play video games or take a nice long nap (but completely void of lucids!), eat somewhere in between, think about how much I hate people (mostly the roommate of me and my brother), pine over the girl and then hate myself for it, play more video games, go to sleep... pretty dull and annoying, but I get some fun in there. I like the whole stripping dream, that one was funny. Well once again, I'd just like to say hi to all the people I don't know and that you all seem like interesting people.

Sorry 'bout the long-ass message, bye!

gotta throw in the banana!

Good job! I really didn't realize that you hadn't been doing them regularly.

Thanks, Well.. I have been doing them. But, the more success I have, the more I do them. The more I do them the more success I have lol. It's just taken a long time for it to work into my dreams.
And another one in my nap!

A Lucid Dream!

Lucid Dream # 51 of 2007
Random reality check!
In my nap, but counted as Sunday nights sleep.

I dream that I wake up from my nap. I pinch my nose and I can breath.
The house is kind of dark but I can see. I walk out to the living room. there is a family member sleeping on the couch. I decide to mess with them. I step up onto the couch, and start to walk on family member. Family member makes funny sounds, but does not wake up. I step down from couch, and turn the TV on. (TV works.) I walk over to the light switch, and turn on the light. (light switch works.) Family member wakes up. I get confused and think I'm awake now. I tell family member about how I was just dreaming, and how they were actually sleeping on the other couch a moment ago. And about how I was just walking on them. then I wake up for real. pinch my nose and can't breath now.

Well... I hope things get better for you! I actually quit playing video games, so that I could focus more on Lucid Dreaming, the ultimate virtual reality!
It cost no money and takes no extra time. And is far more satisfying than a video game. I do love the video games though, and I see all these new ones I would like to try. But I know that once I get caught up in a game, my Lucids will be gone. But I like to read a lot too. And for some reason reading helps me to get Lucid.

You are getting lucid left and right. That was funny; "walking on family member"; it sounds like you are scared they might read this .

I hate when RC's don't work.

holy crap man your really good at this LD thing lol you have had loads latley! nice one

Yeah, that was funny. I was just trying to ignore the guy while doing a reality check. And he was being pretty persistent.

All my hard work over the last month is finally starting to pay off.

It's funny, the random things you do once you get Lucid. Just because you can.

Thanks mark!

It really depends on how well I'm able to stay focused. I've been working really hard at it. And the reality checks are really helping.

Hopefully, I won't get into to many more situations where I wonder if I'm dreaming. And then decide I'm not, without doing any reality checks.

Shit I'm pissed! I just spent an hour typing a bunch of cool dreams. I hit something on my computer that took me to some weird Dell computer page. and I lost everything.

I'm just going to rewrite this one.

Todays WILD attempt
I enter a dream scene fully Lucid. I'm at the buffet restaurant. There are lots of people around the food bars. I walk up to the desert area, there are trays with cakes, cookies, and different types of bars. Humorously, instead of just taking a piece of something. I decide to take the whole trays. I take a tray of cake, and a tray of cookies. One in each hand. I watch, to see their reactions as I start to walk away. and then slide back awake.

I actually enter this same exact scene a few more times. One other time I stay in it just long enough to start eating food right out of the pans on the food bar.

I was just a hair away from getting Lucid in another dream. I was flying with dragons.
I was thinking about how it felt like I was flying in a dream. But I thought I was watching a movie. And I thought it was just the skill of the camera crew, that made it feel so good. And the scenery was just beautiful.

Well, Hopefully my subconscious will be happy that I wrote them down once at least.

OK, Caradon, tell us how you're getting lucid so often. Tell us now, or we are going to come to your house and tickle you until you do. It's not fair for you to keep this to yourself.

That buffet dream really sounds like one of my dreams! Back when I had dreams, I mean.

<--Clairity and Moonbeam if Caradon doesn't reveal his secrets.

(That ought to do it!)

OK, we're waiting...

Woo Hoo!Now I'm not saying anything... until until you two come and force it out of me. I can hardly wait.


No really, My only secret is lots of hard work!

Ever try to hold a single thought in your mind for an entire day?
That's what I try to do. At least for as much of the day as I possibly can.
I worked really hard all through October to get this recent burst of Lucids.
But, I still need to get some longer ones. Like my Twoshadows one. So that I can actually start doing stuff in my Lucids. And regaining some of my old skills.

Also, before I go to sleep at night. I put on some relaxing music, burn an incent, and read my book for a while. That puts me in the right frame of mind. And gets me psyched up to enter an imaginary world of my own.

At least, I do that when I have enough time left to do it.
