It all fits together in an odd way to make an interesting experience.

LOL you seriously made me laugh with that! Sounds great! Running up the wall, over the ceiling and back again... Good inspiration for me to try once! (better than those attacking animals )

Ohh, you're not nice to that man! He didn't know it was just a dream

Ah, isn't that annoying to wake up just when the fun is starting... Well, at least you had some good fun at the start
I guess that laughing is also a kind of excitement, which makes you wake up.

Oh, and on the skates: try to search google for 'all terrain skates' or 'off road skates' and you'll find loads of shops that sell them I think on buying a pair myself too, because I'm training my young horse to pull me while I'm on skates. It would be nicer to go into the forest than staying on the same boring road.

That is really one of your more hilarious dreams! I love how the dream tries to continue in a horror theme, but you totally ignore it! Wow--it really makes you wonder about the mind and dreaming and what the heck is going on.

@ Sara

Thanks for posting those skates. They look awesome. Can you imagine the work it would be getting them going on flat ground that is dirt and rocks? Hmmmm, I need to tie a tow rope to the four wheeler and have it pull me around on those things. Now theres a dream image for you, Caradon!


@ Caradon

Great lucid. It was hilarious.

ha ha nice man that was totally great! plus it was such a well thought out dream if you know what I mean lol

The white string and the random noises probably would have freaked me out

ha ha air guitar! totally class I really like the running up the walls and across the ceiling is brilliant! and dam did I laugh at the stuttering guy and the way you reacted to the suited men was brilliant lol

Nice moves. Especially the air guitar song!

Yeah, it's fun overcoming nightmares. One thing you can to to gain confidence. Is practice trying to destroy your dream body. I've done a lot of that before.

Yeah that was kind of rude of me lol. But, it was really just part of how I was defying the dream.

That sounds like a good idea getting pulled by a horse on skates. You could start a new sport!

Thanks Moonbeam! I think, that if I would have been in the dream much longer, it probably would have conformed to my mood. Like if I managed to leave the apartment and go outside. things would have been different once I got outside. But who knows.

@ Caradon

Great lucid. It was hilarious.

I was thinking they might be hard work too. But you never know, it may not be as hard as all that. plus, there is always the hills. And using the four wheeler sounds great. I'm probably going to try that.

Thanks Mark. Yeah, I do try to describe them as well as I can.

A Lucid Dream
Wednesday/November/28/2007
Lucid Dream # 54 of 2007
Reality check induced Lucidity
Shared dreaming experiment Lucid

I give Pj the credit for this Lucid. Because the real Pj, literally caused me to have this dream.

The dream takes place at a town house I used to live as a kid. The first thing I remember is that Moonbeam, and a man I assume to be Pj, because he is the head of the shared dreaming experiment, is at the town house with me. They have all this electronic equipment set up on tables in the kitchen. It's kind of like, when you watch a show about a haunted house, and the ghost hunters bring all their gear in with them.

There is another man there now. he walks up and asks what we are doing. I say," We go into dreams and do fun stuff like this." I then reach up and pinch my nose. And I can breath.I'm Like WTF, this is a dream now? I'm now 99% sure I'm dreaming,
but I had only pinched my nose for a second. The man I was talking to, has walked away, and out the front door. I follow him out. Once outside, I do another reality check to make sure. Yup, I'm definitely dreaming for sure! The man is walking away and I yell to him."Hey, we go into dreams and do fun stuff like this!"

I then begin doing hand springs across the yard and all the way to the road. Once I get to the edge of the road. I spring into the air, get into a tuck position and begin spinning into farwards flips. I kind of hover in the air and spin like a ball several times.
Then land on my feet in the road. I then decide I'm going to do cartwheels back up to the house.

But now gravity has become very realistic. I do probably the worst dream cartwheel ever. About as good as if it were real life. I try to immediately go into another one but I just fall down. I give up on that. I get up and run back up to the house. I have to tell Moonbeam and Pj that we are in a dream right now.

I'm all excited, and I pull open the door real fast and run into the house. I run into the kitchen, and Moonbeam, and Pj are there doing something with their equipment. Taking electronic measurements of the dream world or something.

I say,"Hey you guys, this is a dream right now!" They both look over at me, and Moonbeam says something about she has to check one of her computers to confirm it.. I say, "No trust me this is a dream. Do a reality check right now!"

Neither of them do reality checks, but they both believe me now. Moonbeam gets up and starts doing perfect cartwheels out into the living room. I say," Aren't you glad I was paying attention!" And I follow her out to the living room. I notice this ceramic figurine of a mountain lion on a shelf.( which I actually have in real life.) Moonbeam has sat down on the couch now.

I say, "Hey Moonbeam, check out the detail of this thing. And I pick up the figurine off the shelf.( This is a pretty magical moment, because I actually believe that this is the real Moonbeam and we are both Lucid in the same dream.) I carry the figurine over to her and I sit down on the couch. I hand Moonbeam the figurine, and she turns it around in her hands examining it.

Then, to my complete astonishment. She opens her mouth, and stuffs the figurine into her mouth, and begins to swallow it. I almost lose lucidity because I get worried that if this isn't really a dream, she may hurt herself. But, then she has the whole thing swallowed no problem. I laugh, because I know she did that just to mess with me.
Moonbeam laughs too, and pats her stomach. Then, I start to worry about how much time I have before I wake up. And of course, that makes me wake up.

Note to self. Stop thinking about waking up while in Lucid Dreams!

Caradon! That dream started out so great...but then: I can't believe you dreamed that I ate a moutain lion (figurine)! Now I know what you really think about me... (I know, I had too many eating-dreams, and that's why!)

I was just looking thru my DJ and I saw a long time ago where you were going to give me cake in a dream to eat. Not knick-knacks.

I can't believe you are lucid again! You are doing so well.

Yeah, I remember that cake now lol. I forgot about that. I wasn't expecting you to eat that mountain lion. It caught me totally off guard. But, I think thats why you did it.

Thanks, I actually realized I was dreaming five times in the last six days!
Only three of them became good Lucids though.

Oh man..you really do know how to have fun in those LD's. It's strange, i've always thought a concept like that, of actually entering dreams with others was really very fascinating...I've had 1 like this, but nowhere near to this extent or clarity...even if it wasn't shared it certainly seemed to be great!...I know about those magical moments as you said when you were certain it was the real Moonbeam...I was once lucid and telling my brother to remember this dream..utterly convinced it was him :p.

Like you, I'm beggining to see, worrying about the time left in a dream is only detrimental to making it last...relaxation and beleif that it can go as long as you want it, I think, are key... Well done again Caradon, you seem to be on a roll :p

PS- I seem to recall Moonbeams food dreams as well

Thanks bro! Yeah, I seem to wake up or have a false awakening just about every time I start thinking about it. It's hard to avoid thinking about though.

Thanks for the good laugh. It was so funny I almost had tears rolling down my cheeks.

Yarr...well, it takes practice but I think that thought can be pushed out..subtly..after all you don't want to feel there's any limits on your experience...And there don't have to be...I usually work on making it more vivid by using the 5 senses..at least that's a goal of mine and has worked in the past. Maybe by doing that as opposed to worrying, convincing yourself that lucidity can last, and you're just going to make it all more vivid, will help.

Another things i've noticed is that you can begin to take advantage of re-entering...That's a technique I'm sure, I don't recall from who, but just laying there as you feel yourself rising to the "surface" of a lucid, and just sinking right back in...not too hard at all ...Works best in a nap I think.

Hahahaha, that part made me laugh so hard, my flatmates were wondering if something was wrong with me, laughing all alone behind my pc

Another great lucid with so much fun, very enjoyable and inspirational :-)

Now I only wonder: how did the real pj cause this lucid dream?

ha ha ha love it!

I laughed when your cartwheels failed and you fell in front of that man lol

ha ha and moonbeam eating the mountain lion lol dam that made me laugh!

Thanks for all the comments everybody!

Bro, I think my waking up to soon is just a temporary mental trap a got myself into. because of a couple of Lucids I woke up from to soon.
So I started worrying about it.

I'm sure I'll get over it. Especially if I keep getting Lucid More frequently.

A Lucid Dream

Lucid Dream # 55 of 2007
Spontaneous Lucidity!

I don't remember much of the dream. I'm in a mall when I become Lucid. I'm assuming it was spontaneous. I don't remember anything abnormal going on. And I didn't do any reality checks or even question it much. I just knew. But I'm immediately over come by sexual desire. I run around the mall a little. And I then approach the first attractive female DC I come across. She is near the entranceway of one of the mall shops. I don't say anything to her, I just begin kissing her. She does not resist at all, she responds to my advances. there is a few moments of making out. And I'm very fascinated by how pleasantly realistic her lips feel on mine. We would have ended up having sex right there, but I woke up!

I generally always wake up during sexual Lucids. But I usually get farther than that lol.
I actually went to sleep with the intention of interrogating a DC. But there was only one thing on my mind in this Lucid.

But one more Lucid for the last night of November!

You had a great month!

Yeahh, that's premature errrrr--- um, "excitement" for you..too much of it will wake you.

Awesome though...Way to Pimp! Congratulations on the spontaneous LD, aren't they a nice treat when you have to do absolutely nothing and you find yourself encompassed by your own world? Our minds do such a good job of replicating life in dreams..even lips..your description got me thinking of possibilities for my own lucids! Gah..I love that. Hmm, sound like i'll have to come hang with you in that dream-mall..could be fun.

Well done on this lucid on the last of the month..a good way to end it!

Thanks! The best thing about this month, is that I got to be Lucid with both Moonbeam and Twoshadows!

Thanks bro, Yeah I have to figure out how to not wake up from those kind of dreams. But then, I want to have Lucids I can write about. I'm much more shy than Mark.

You can put in "Censored" at the critical parts.

True, good thinking.

Yeah..I did that for a few of mine. Only put what your comfortable with.. it's not worth posting risky or embarassing stuff on a public forum...unless you want to of course..
