I was on such a roll before I got sick!

Yeah, so often after I have a Lucid. In my next dream I'll be telling somebody about it. I need to recognize that as a dreamsign.

Oh well, Venice IS a bit strange They have more water-streets than normal ones. Have you ever been there/seen it?

Yeah, that's right. It was supposed to be Venice in my dream!
But I couldnt' think of the name of the place lol. So I just described it like that.

I've never been there, but I've seen it on TV. And I played a Tomb Raider game, where a whole level of the game was adventuring through Venice.

Elevators CAN be very weird in dreams. In my case they are often extremely big.

Yeah, as a teenager I had many recurring falling elevator dreams. I learned to recognize them as dreamsigns. So that as soon as an elevator would start to act crazy, I would become Lucid instantly. After a few times of that though. I never had an elevator dream ever again. until just recently, I had a couple of them. I hope it's something that's going to continue.

Yeah, I was able to give the illusion of being a good player. But, I added just the right ingredient, to an otherwise pretty good team. So we ended up winning the championship. And I got a trophy.

It must have been a lot harder for you being in that situation.
As long as you had fun though. The first team I was on, we lost all the time lol. But I had a blast, I didn't care.

A Lucid Dream
Wednesday/March/5/2008
Lucid Dream # 14 of 2008
Malfunctioning device dreamsign noticed
Reality check induced Lucidity
Basic Lucid task attempted

I'm driving my car, on my way to work. It's early morning, and the sun isn't up yet. I notice That my headlights are not on. I push on the headlight switch but nothing happens.(I've had some real life issues with my headlights going out on me. But I recently got it fixed.) I smack it hard. still nothing more than a flicker. I try the high beam lever, still nothing. I decide to pull over before I get pulled over by a cop. I get out of the car, and look at the front headlights, while reaching into the car and messing with the switch. (I must have extra long arms now in order to do that lol.) I get the headlights to flicker, and then they come on. But they are really dim, like a flashlight with low batteries. And they give off no light at all.

I now remember a recent dream I had, where I had the same type of dim headlights occur. So I pinch my nose, and I can breath. Instantly Lucid.the first thing I experience is relief that my headlights are not really messed up again. Second, is the joy of being Lucid again. Third, is the comprehension that I no longer need to continue on my way to work. I notice that I'm wearing a heavy jacket. I don't feel like wearing it in my dream, so I take it off and drop it on the ground.

The weather is kind of nasty though. It's rainy, and I actually feel cold without my jacket on. I think about putting the jacket back on. But defiantly, I refuse to let the dream control me in that way. I know I don't have to feel cold if I don't want to.
As soon as I stop thinking about it, I don't notice the cold anymore.

I walk out into the street, leap into the air, and begin to fly. I notice all the colorful traffic lights at different intersections along the road. I remember that there are many tasks that I have planned. I try to think of what the first priority was. Then I remember, prove I'm indestructible. So I land, and the first thing that comes to mind, is to let a car run me over. Should be easy enough to find moving vehicles in a dream right?

Not this time, the city is lifeless! Nothing is moving but the occasional changing traffic lights. All the windows in the houses are dark. So I decide, that maybe if I invade one of these houses, I will wake up and piss off some DC's, and they will try to kill me or something. And I will let them try.

I run across the nearest yard, and leap into the air. Diving headfirst with my hands out in front of me like a diver, into the nearest window of the house. My hands penetrate the glass, and I can feel the glass smoothly slide along my body, as I pass flawlessly through it.

I find myself on like a three season porch. Still no people, or nothing going on here.
So I decide to go through the wall, into the next room. I put my hands together, palms facing outwards. Then push my hands into the wall. They sink right in. Then I pull my hands apart, tearing a huge hole in the wall. But, I have not dug all the way through. I begin repeating the process, trying to dig a tunnel through the wall.( Didn't even consider trying to use the door lol.)

Before I can get through the wall though, I wake up.

So, no completed task this time. It was a fun try though.

lol nice one with the wall. I still don't have that kind of dream control.

Thanks, I actually have not tried phasing through things since I started relearning to Lucid Dream. Practicing that, was one of the tasks on my priority list. I did it last night without even thinking about it.

lol using a door is overrated anyway! good attempt at trying to complete your own personal tasks!

indeed that was a fun lucid, its strange but I sometimes like that cold feeling in dreams kind of make s a tingley feeling lol

The dead city reminds me of something from I Am Legend or 28 Days later...or atleast thats how I pictured it.

Cool how you made your own doorway lol

Thanks, I was trying to do the basic task of the month. But managed to do a Little bit of personal tasking in the process.

Yeah, I know what you mean, sometimes it feels quite refreshing. But this time, it was kind of an uncomfortable cold.

In a way it was kind of like that. I never did see any other living thing.
I had the impression though, That it was just because of the time of day. Everyone was still sleeping, and nobody was out and about.

Originally Posted by mark

Thanks, pretty funny. I don't know what came over me. I just wanted to get into that house as quickly as possible and find some way to complete the task. I wish I would have thought of getting back into my car. And making a new door by driving the car through the wall of the house lol.

I just rush wrote a couple dreams in my paper journal today. I don't have much time. I have to be up at 4 am, and I'm hoping to get at least three or four hours of sleep tonight. Lol That would be sleeping in, compared to the last two nights.

ah man your gonna be tired! I dont envy that, how come your up so early?

Yay, I saw that Moonbeam is back.

I work at 5 am on the weekends Mark. That's why I have to get up so early.
Yeah, I was tired today, sucked. I didn't get to sleep in, my three or four hours like I wanted. I ended up with the third less than two hour night in a row. And I have even less time tonight because of stupid daylight savings, I had to set my clock an hour ahead.

The only dream I remember from last night, is that Moonbeam was back with a ton of Lucids to share.

And because of being so tired, I didn't remember anything from my nap really.
Something about a big tent. and something about swimming in the ocean.

Tried WILDING into my nap. I entered a scene without Lucidity. I was walking across a parking lot, when I slipped and fell backwards. As if slipping on a banana peel. It startled me awake.

I've had this slipping and falling backwards thing happen often when trying to WILD. I saw a thread on the forum once, discussing that very phenomenon. I guess it happens to a lot of people. Some type of SP effect or something.

Due to getting so little sleep I'm going to get off the computer. because I have a few things that need doing. Hopefully I can get a little more than two hours tonight.

If you see this Moonbeam, good to see your back.

Well it's nice to be missed! I'm glad to be back.

I hate this weekend. First I travel all day on Saturday, losing an hour in the process by changing time zones, then we lose another hour tonight!

I wish!

That kind of sounds like times when I first go to sleep, and I'm dreaming of walking up steps or something, and I trip and wake myself up. Must be one of those jerks that happen.

Hey I hope you have a good night's sleep!

Thanks! I'm hoping for one of your bears to get me lucid! I saw Sara and O both dreamed of bears. In Denver there was a giant blue bear, like 4 or 5 stories tall, standing and looking in thru a window of the conference center. I did an RC everytime I saw it.

Once again, I hope it's the same for us all.

I blame "President" Bush. Daylight savings is TWO WEEKS EARLY this year, and in the fall it was early as well. His attempts at preserving electricity or some crap like that.

Sleep well tonight, dear!

I don't mean to spark a discussion on politics, but seriously...Bush is the least intellectual president we've ever had (and that's what counts!). Bush may just be the least intellectual citizen we've ever had.

There was a question somewhere, about whether it ever rains in your dreams. I've never consciously experienced any rain, it's funny you had it in your lucid.

So I land, and the first thing that comes to mind, is to let a car run me over. Should be easy enough to find moving vehicles in a dream right?

Not this time, the city is lifeless! Nothing is moving but the occasional changing traffic lights.

Argh, where are the annoying DC's when you need them to kill you

I run across the nearest yard, and leap into the air. Diving headfirst with my hands out in front of me like a diver, into the nearest window of the house. My hands penetrate the glass, and I can feel the glass smoothly slide along my body, as I pass flawlessly through it.

Very smooth

So I decide to go through the wall, into the next room. I put my hands together, palms facing outwards. Then push my hands into the wall. They sink right in. Then I pull my hands apart, tearing a huge hole in the wall. But, I have not dug all the way through. I begin repeating the process, trying to dig a tunnel through the wall.( Didn't even consider trying to use the door lol.)

Haha, you make a hole in the wall, instead of just phasing through? That's an original approach

Sounds like you had a lot of fun again!

Hey I missed your lucid before. That's weird there weren't any DC's around; that happens to me some time. Nice control and "window-diving".

Caradon, I got bears night before last, but not last night. I'm gonna keep working on it.

That sucks about daylight savings and the time zone! You cam back on the wrong day lol. At least you don't work Sundays.

Yeah, my falling down thing is probably the same as that.

My sleep still sucked, and I'm totally out of whack because of it. but I should be able to get things back to normal now.

I'm really surprised by what you said about that giant bear standing! Was it anything like the bear in this grizzly maze dream?

http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...postcount=1115


If so, thats the second time I had a dream related to something on your trip when you were gone.

Remember when you went on that tree canopy walk? And I had that flying tree canopy Lucid?

Well at least it's over now for a while. I don't mind falling back an hour in the fall. It's springing ahead that sucks.

Thanks, I don't think I slept at all that night though lol. I just layed there for a couple of hours and then my alarm clock went off. lol Then I went and worked another ten hour shift.

I had some bad insomnia for a couple nights there.

Don't worry, I don't discuss politics. I don't like to worrying about things like that, that are completely out of my control.

It's funny when they have these political news shows. And the people on the show are getting pissed of at each other and interrupting each other all animated like. trying to say that they are right about their views or what ever.

I have to wonder why they think there opinions even matter? It's not like anything will be changed by what they say on the show, or that Anyone in the government is even listening to a word they are saying lol.

Yeah, I get rain and wind all the time in dreams. Lucid or not. I'll look for the link to a fun Lucid I had where it was raining the whole time. And post it in your journal where your sure to see it.

And going through that wall lol. I wasn't even thinking about what I was doing. That's just they way it was working out and I went with it.

Once when I tried phasing through a door. The door exploded into shards. I was like oh well, at least I'm through it now.

Caradon, I got bears night before last, but not last night. I'm gonna keep working on it.

Yeah, that window diving was cool. when I think about it, I can still feel the way that glass felt, as it slid over my body.

I saw that bear dream. I forgot to comment on that one though. Don't worry about not recognizing it as a dreamsign. I don't even recognize them as that, very often.

Recall wasn't the best, because of having to much on my mind the last couple days. I had a couple vivid dreams in the morning, But with a little to personal of content to post. Nothing bad, just stuff I would be embarrassed sharing. So I'll post these wild attempts.

Wild attempt # 1
I enter a scene where I'm driving down a road without Lucidity. and I start driving out of control and spinning the car though some crazy traffic. As I become Lucid I wake up.

Attempt # 2
I see an image of this plastic mug I have from Alaska. Somebody got it for me on a trip there. I'm Lucid, and it's kind of like an HI image. There are bears on the mug in real life, but they are not pictures of real bears. they look more like cartoons. On the dream mug. The bears become animated, and are running around the sides of the cup as if I'm watching a cartoon. I just watch it for a few moments before waking up.

Attempt # 3
dream reentry/wild

I wake up from a dream, and go right back to sleep. Seconds after reentering the dream I become Lucid spontaneously, and it wakes me up.

Attempt # 4
I enter a work dream. and after a moment I do a random reality check. And it wakes me up.

Attempt # 5
I'm laying on my bed on my back, trying to WILD. I've been laying there for some time. I decide to do a reality check just for the hell of it, to help remind me to do it in my dream. But when I pinch my nose, I can breath! Very surprised, I wake up.

Hey, that is weird...next time I'll try to project and see if you can get even more.

I really hate that. Glad it didn't last long, but that's long enough when you're working 10 hour days.

I'd be happy with that!

trippy. At least you're pretty good at initiating the WILD.

I had to do a reality check when you talked about that. "A giant blue bear? In real life!?" *pinches nose*

Oh my god, that was it! only mine wasn't blue. But that looks like the exact same size!

Holy crap, that was the scariest bear attack ever!

Thanks for posting that. That was great!

Yeah, kind of ironic. I can wild into dreams so easy, but can't get anything out of it, but a few fascinating moments.

[quote=Caradon;727608Oh my god, that was it! only mine wasn't blue. But that looks like the exact same size![/quote]

I don't know if I want to see that in a dream. Maybe, if it's blue.

OK! Bears tonight! Brown, black, or otherwise!

How about koalas?
