And the people around me start to laugh. And I start laughing so hard, that I must have been laughing in my sleep. Because the joke is going right over their heads. And I'm the only one who knows, that it really is a dream. For some reason I find this to be funny as hell. Then I say, "Man, I've never had so much fun in my entire life!" I start to think about what I might want to do next, when I wake up.

Haha, found it
That sounded like a very entertaining dream!

Thanks Moonbeam!
Maybe you should take a Lucid or two just to enjoy. And have fun doing some spur of the moment thing. For me, having fun is the first priority.There are things I want to do with my Lucids. But right now my first goal is to get my Lucids up to the frequency that I want them. And to have fun in the process.

Yeah, it's so funny, I got so excited by the animal attack that it didn't quite register that I was dreaming and missed out on getting Lucid a lot earlier. But at least I'm starting to notice animal attacks as dreamsigns.
I noticed it during a giant spider attack last night, but woke up right away.

Finally figured out how to multi quote the same post! is there an easier way though? kind of a pain to type out the quote and name and numbers.

That's really cool that you cared enough to go digging for that dream. And having really no idea where to find it. I really appreciate that!
Yeah, that was a fun long Lucid.

Thanks Mark, yeah that beaver was pretty funny. It wasn't really all that scary. I got all excited and happy about it. Now if it would have been a bear.. Then I would have been really scared.

Yeah, that was great! good thing I don't have to worry about that kind of thing in the dream world lol.

Avalanche/spider attack
And an odd experience with the nose RC

There was more to the dream, but the first thing that I can remember is standing on a snowy mountain slope. I begin hearing a roaring rumbling sound, and I realize it's an avalanche coming down on me. Within seconds the snow is rushing over me, and I'm being buried.

I'm only a little scared though, because I think I can escape it. As the snow is rushing around me I'm trying to dig with my hands to keep an opening so that I can breath. But I'm getting packed in tighter and the snow begins to completely cover me. I start to panic a little, but I can still see light through the surface of the snow. I desperately begin trying to dig for the light before I can get buried any deeper. Though I can feel the weight of the snow pushing me down, I'm able to break through the surface with my hands and make an opening to breath.

Lucky for me, the avalanche has now stopped. And I'm able to slowly dig around myself enough to get myself free. Still waist deep in snow, I look up the mountain slope and see some ski patrol skiing down towards me. He starts telling me there is a high avalanche risk right now, and how to tell which areas are most likely to start sliding.

It turns out that he is actually out looking for high risk areas, and starting avalanches to eliminate the risk of accidents. He has some strange tool for starting the avalanches. He leans over some overhang and begins hammering at the edge of it. Then strangely, he pries off this long piece of wood along the lip of the overhang.

The dream shifts and we are no longer on a mountain slope. And he is no longer a ski patrol. We are in some really ugly nasty old basement. And he is some kind of pest control exterminator. he is pulling away wooden trim along the bottom of the wall along the floor. behind every piece that he pulls away, are old forgotten loaves of bread.

I see some hole in the wall, and there are some really nasty things living in there. Some of the freakiest looking insects ever are swarming all over. And there are mice crawling through them. I look over and the guy is on the other side of the room. I see him jump back in surprise. And he takes off across the room.

I now notice that filling half the room is this giant daddy long legs spider. it's legs are so thin that we didn't notice it there before. It starts coming at me, but I'm not all that worried because it seems pretty flimsy and not much of a threat. But as it gets closer I can see that it's round body has these huge mandibles for biting. and it looks like it could be painful.

Just as it starts coming at my face, I realize I must be dreaming! I reach up to pinch my nose to be sure but I can't breath! What I'm not dreaming!?

I'm not sure what happened exactly, but I'm now laying on my bed with my eyes closed. and I actually was pinching my real nose. I'm not sure if I woke up in the process of reaching up to pinch my nose. Because that's what I thought at first. But that seems odd. I think maybe I woke up, because I actually pinched my nose closed in my sleep and stopped my breathing.

LOL, that's too bad about the reality check. I've had similar happen to me before. I tried counting five fingers (all there) and pushing my finger through my palm (solid as could be). When the check passed I said "Whoa, I'm not dreaming!" And the strangeness of the situation along with that statement caused me to really wake up.

Caradon...That avalanche sounded rather terrifying...struggling to breathe while getting covered by something (snow)...that's something I dream of too...(trampled, suffocated, etc. :0) Well done on breaking through though!

The basement portion sounded a bit frightening. But clearly you WERE thinking and did have some level of awareness to be able to question your reality...you were very close ...i'm sure next time you'll get the nail on the head.

Whahaha, LOL!
How strange you were pinching your 'real' nose while doing it too in the dream. Too bad it woke you up

Forgot to read your lucid from last friday, about the aerial bull ride, that was awesome! While reading, I imagined myself being one of the female spectators, seeing you do all those tricks in the sky

.

Dam!! I bet that made you panic! I would have had a heart attack if my RC failed in a situation like that!

Cool dream though that avalanche is great! once again mate you have a totally action packed dream I love it

Hmm, I wonder if that is possible (to do that in your sleep). I've had the nose RC fail before too, as well as the finger thru the hand, and hand-check. So I didn't jump. I guess it happens.

Pardon my language but that would have scared the shit out of me!!

You know I actually think there are people who do start avalanches for the very reason you dreamed!

Yeah, that sucks! I think I may have already been in the process of waking up though.

strange as it sounds, I wasn't all that afraid in either situation. There was a moment when the snow was starting to cover me, that I thought maybe I was done for. But I think, it was actually my confidences that stopped the avalanche and enabled me to escape it.

Thanks Mark. My feeling was actually of disappointment when that happened lol.

Well, I know it failed because I was actually pinching my real nose. But what I'm not completely sure of, is if I was still in the dream when I did it.

I have often woken up from dreams reaching, for something that was just in my dream. I think, maybe it was the same kind of thing that happened.

Well, at least if I would have gotten completely buried. I would have found out soon enough that I could still breath lol. And maybe even gotten Lucid because of it. I actually did have a dream once where I was being buried alive. After the dirt covered me I decided I wanted to make my death quick. So I took a deep breath of dirt. I was surprised to find out I could breath dirt lol!

Yeah, there are people that do that in real life. I once watched a show about these guys in Alaska. they were firing these grenade type explosives into the side of mountain slopes to create controlled avalanches. Sounds like a fun job.

Sky creature
I'm with my brother in a car. We are just driving out of a parking lot when I see some strange thing flying in the sky. It looks like a huge manta ray, or sting ray, or what ever you call them. I lose sight of it behind some buildings. I tell my brother to look at that thing. We get another look at it, but now it looks like some really odd looking military helicopter. Every time I look away and look back, it always looks a little different.
But it always looks very strange. After a few moments I become Lucid, but the dream fades right away and I wake up.

well at least I recognized dreamsigns two nights in a row!

Rollerblades in the house.
Yesterday I was thinking, that I should put on my rollerblades and wear them around the house a little. To see if I could bring them into my dream. I didn't actually do it but I ended up dreaming that I did it lol.

It was actually kind of fun. I was skating down the hall and into the bedroom. Then I would spin around in the bedroom with skill. Then skate back out int the hall and into the living room. I was able to skate quite fast regardless of being on dream carpet.
I just kept skating around for a while. there was a few other things involved in the dream but I don't remember them that well.

Todays Wild attempt
It's been a little while since I've been able to clear my mind enough to try wilding.
Last night I wilded into a scene from on old video game. It was a race track from an old formula one racing game I used to play all the time. Even though it's been years since I played it. and there is tons of tracks in the game. My mind created the track perfectly. I just looked around a little before waking up.

Nothing else real interesting to write about. I didn't sleep in as long as I intended either.

I miss rollerblading. The dream sounds like lots of fun. I used to rollerblade a lot when I was in college, but now I live on a dirt road with no pavement in sight. Maybe I need to invent dirt skates.

It's great that you picked up skating, just to be able to do it in your dream. And now you just have to think about it in order to get a skating-dream. COOL!

Is there any parks anywhere near you with paved trails?
One of the nice things about Minnesota, is that there are parks and trails everywhere. I do a lot biking too.

Oh my god, I have to have a pair of those! That would be great for up at the cabin. I bet those would really be Lucidity inducing skates. Flying down grassy hills and stuff. Though I'd probably end up breaking my neck first lol.
I could get pulled behind the four wheeler with a rope.
I better not get carried away.

Thanks mark! yeah, That thing was just like one of those flyers. I didn't even think of it until you mentioned it.

A Lucid Dream
Tuesday/November/27/2007
Lucid Dream # 53 of 2007
spontaneous Lucidity!

The first thing I remember is exiting an apartment, and walking down the hall. There is a Japanese lady that I recognize as the land lady. As I walk by, she is running this line of what looks like white yarn, between the two walls at the top of a stairway, that leads down to a lower level. somehow I am aware, that she is making some kind of supernatural barrier against evil forces.(I think I got that from the movie Skeleton Key.)

I continue on down the hall. I am on my way to some other room. I don't remember why I wanted to go there. I get to the other room and the door is locked. So I head back to the apartment. On my way back, I stop at the top of the stairway. the stairway goes down to a landing, and then turns right around a corner and continues down. I can't see around the corner, But I hear something strange. Something that sounds very scary to me, is making it's way up the stairs.

I look down at the floor, and the white line barrier is no longer there. I get a little scared and run the rest of the way back to my apartment. I pull open the door and step inside. There is a Japanese man in the room. I begin to shut the door behind me when Lucidity spontaneously washes over me.

I can hardly believe how easy I just became fully Lucid. Excited and a little jittery, I try not to let myself get to excited. I'm a little nervous about losing the dream because of the last two I lost right away. I decide to finish closing the door and I lock it. I turn back and the Japanese man is still standing there. I'm actually in some really odd dream scenario of a supernatural Japanese horror movie. The lighting in the room is a strange dull green color. The whole dream is very creepy, But, fully Lucid I'm not even the slightest bit afraid.

A strange silliness comes over me. I raise my hands in the air, and begin playing air guitar. And I start singing/chanting, "This is a dream, this is a dream dream yeah!" over and over. In a kind of heavy metal way. I want to make sure I do something fun before I wake up. So I run across the room up the wall, across the ceiling, and down the wall on the opposite side.

I make three fast loops around the walls and ceiling. All the while playing my air guitar and singing my dumb song. And also as I'm doing my loops I keep seeing bright flashes of white light. They seem to be coming from outside the apartment. So between the green lighting, the flashes of light, and my little metal song while doing loops across the ceiling. It all fits together in an odd way to make an interesting experience.

The horror theme is still going on. After the third loop I stop in the middle of the room.
The Japanese guy is still there, and he just looks terrified out of his mind. he starts to stutter. "I sa. sa. saw them." Then I say, " Oh? you saw "them" huh? how awful for you." This is supposed to be a scary dream, but I find it quite humorous.

I turn to leave the apartment, and I notice blood seeping out of one wall near the ceiling and running down the wall. in typical horror movie fashion. I just kind of take note of it, then ignore it. I then head toward the apartment door. The door bursts open before I get there. And Two big Japanese guys in suits come rushing into the room.

I throw my hands up into the air, in a semblance of surprise and fear. And I say, "Oh my god! You must be "them"! Then I just start laughing. I was getting such a kick out of this dream. But then I wake up.

Wish I would have had more time to explore this freaky scenario. It would have been cool to run into some of the things they have in Japanese horror movies. But seeing how I wasn't afraid. The dream probably would have changed into something else.

Hahahh...Caradon! This one is classic..

Am I in the mood for one of these..

It sounds like you truly enjoyed this from beggining to end and made the best of it...You must have had some high-level lucidity to be able to laugh at all the horror-themed scenario characters and rooms...I would have been a bit weirded out, even fully lucid. I'm a big fan of Japanese horror so I know just how creepy they can get...I'm glad you had a fun time airguitaring and doing those little loopdi-loops..haaaha.

That ending.. "You must be them"..you had me very amused with that.

Well done, quite a good spontaneous LD.

Yeah, I'm going to see if I can find some, and find out how much they cost.

Thanks for posting that Sara!
