Thread: Caradon's Dream Journal

that alien attack dream is totally great lol! such detail...its hard to remember those complex dream plans.

ha that one when you are talking about lucids sounds frustrating lol its very annoying when that happens

Thanks comments every one!
Sara: Most nights I don't sleep much at all. this last week was pretty bad two three hours every night at the most. I got into the bad habit of sleeping longer in my naps when I came home. than before I went into work.

But, Sunday and Monday nights I get to sleep in, and catch up.
But I stayed up to late last night and didn't sleep in long enough.
Lost the recall in my nap too. It faded away as I woke up. I had the feeling they were some dreams worth remembering too!

Mountain run
almost Lucid again

I'm on my mountain bike riding into the mountains on a trail. After a ways into the mountains, I notice that it's starting to get dark already. I have no flash light, and figure I had better high tail it back before it gets to dark to see.

Once on the last stretch of mountain I am no longer on my bike, but on foot. there is a steep slope to the bottom. Its not vertical, just a pretty steep grassy slope. not rocky either. it's like a wild field would be here. really bumpy, with holes and mounds of dirt from animals. I begin running down the slope off to the side of the trail. trying to be careful not step in any holes and twist my ankle. once about half way down I begin thinking about leaping into the air and flying the rest of the way. I start to become Lucid just feeling like I could actually do it. I think about it being a dream. And that feeling of being Lucid in a dream washes over me. but I wake up before really getting the chance to become fully Lucid. Or actually try jumping.

One other boring dream about driving my car on a slippery snow covered road. and parking in a parking lot. Then a tow truck driver trying to tow my car away. saying I'm not allowed to park there.

I only slept three and a half hours on a night I could sleep in. dummy!

You seem to wind up on dark, fightening paths quite often, with a failed light. hmm. Hey, it does sound like you got at least sem- lucid, if it had lasted a little longer, i'm sure you would have taken to the sky.

The towtruck snow dream...hmm, doesn't sound too far fetched..

good stuff man, I like running in dreams its always so strange, like you do things that you could never do in real life like leaping large distances etc I tend to hove a lot when running

Yeah, I'm always on some kind of trail it seems. The most common theme is the trail flooded with water. I actually got Lucid because of that a while back. And flew up a water fall.

Yeah, I love running in dreams. I often get Lucid that way.

The whole situation (getting dark, being on the bike suddenly instead of in the car) can just picture it again


With a little more sleep, you'll be able to make it next time!


Did you have problems to stay asleep? Sounds like a little insomnia, living on this little sleep (ehh, at least I have my naps as an excuse )

I didn't see that dream of yours. I'll have to look for it.
sometimes I have a hard time falling asleep. but generally once asleep I'm fine. I was just up to late. and I didn't want to sleep all day. so when I woke up, and it was already mid morning. I decided to just stay up.

I could never do what they are doing! fifteen twenty minute naps all the time. or what ever it is. My naps have to always be at least two hours. some times they end up being four though lol. I have a hard time recalling nap dreams. so I keep thinking, that if I just sleep a little longer, I will remember something. Then my naps end up being longer than they should.

Bad recall last night.

I woke up somehow knowing I had a dream about some haunted place but could not remember anything. didn't even know why I thought that. but after quite a bit of digging, I managed to pull a little bit of it back.

I'm on some type of mission into some deep dark place. I'm pretty sure it was haunted. There was some kind of danger there for sure. I was in some kind of cage like elevator, being lowered down. I can't remember what it was I had to do. I had to get something or someone out of there. I wasn't to worried because I had this scroll with a teleportation spell on it. I just had to hurry up and complete my task. Then, read the arcane words on the scroll. And I would be teleported to safety.

That's all I remember about that.

I remember being Lucid in my nap. But, all I remember is being lucid and about to go do some task. The rest faded away.

shame about the poor night but at least you managed to salvage a decent fragment

It's on the first page of my DJ, second entry I think.

Ohh, I feel sorry for you having troubles falling asleep... Than polyphasic won't be an option for you.

Hmm, know that problem Sleeping longer doesn't increase my chance of remembering, but still I try it every now and then...
But for you it's good when you have longer naps, to catch up some sleep you missed in your short nights.

Good that you were able to retrieve something, even though it probably feels not as good as recalling the dream in perfect detail the moment you wake up...

Oww, that's even more annoying than forgetting a normal dream...

Yea, my naps are always like that too. If I lay down, I'm asleep for two hours, then groggy for long time until I drink a pot of coffee. Worse than waking up in the morning.

I actually have a harder time in the morning waking up. most of the time that is. But sometimes I feel the way you describe after naps. I hear it's that way for a lot of people though.

Isn't that irritating, when you know you were lucid but can just not recall? pshh..I hate that. Hey, good job though, I bet you were.

And eerie dark places..I know what you mean about not remembering the dream per se but remembering the feeling..The concept of that scroll and retreiving something in the cage sounded very interesting..wonder what could have brought that on.

I'm sure you'll get some long, vivid ones soon.
