Since this is basically the main thread I go to, I'm most familiar with you guys, but I only know how Oneironaut actually looks. So could you guys PM me some pictures of yourselves. I was actually thinking of getting more subjects for my art.

Good to see you got your normal recall back AND your numerous lucids.
Float-jumping around on the truck sounds great as well.

LOL @ the attacking fox I killed a fox in my dreams recently (just strangle it, they die pretty easily)

Seriously, is there a dream animal that hasn't attacked you??

Thanks Sara! recall is still a little unreliable. But, for a bad month I seem to be turning it around a little.

There must be something that hasn't attacked me yet!

Thanks Mark. Yeah, once in the tree I never even saw the bull again. Just got caught up in that tree stuff.

Yeah, dirt biking is pretty fun in dreams too. And a lot less painful. In real life even if you don't crash the bike, it beats the hell out you and you can be sore for days. It's a lot of fun though.

Well, Moonbeam posted some pictures in her journal. Sara has at least one and a video.

I'm not going to try to scan anything. I'm pretty annoyed with the printer right now. The only thing that happens when I try to use it lately. Is I get really pissed off. And I waste a couple of hours getting it to do nothing at.
all. So I don't even want to mess with it at the moment.

A Lucid Dream
Friday/January/25/2008
Lucid Dream # 5 of 2008
Sun/Moon dreamsign noticed
Reality check induced Lucidity

A short Lucid, I woke up right away. But I'm going to count it because I'm proud of noticing the dream sign and getting Lucid.

I'm walking home from somewhere. I don't remember where from. There is a friend with me. I look up into the sky, it's kind of cloudy. I can see the Sun shining dimly through the clouds. In another part of the sky I can see the Moon clearly, because it's not so cloudy in that spot. But then I see another orb in the sky. It looks like a second Moon. I'm really confused by this. I don't understand how there could be two Moons and a Sun.

I point it out to my friend. He thinks it's strange too, but can't offer any explanation. My dream logic is trying to tell me, that the light from the sun is creating a reflection of the moon off the clouds. And creating an illusion of a second Moon. But this doesn't seem right to me either.

My friend is starting to walk away in the direction of his house. I Say "Maybe it's because it's a dream" As I reach up to pinch my nose, I think about how cool it would be, if this turned out to be a dream. I pinch my nose and I can breath!
It is a little hard to breath though, But I'm pretty sure it's a dream. I shout to my friend,"Hey, I think this "is" a dream!" I push my finger into my hand, It does not want to sink in. That doesn't bother me though, I'm not going to let myself lose it. For the first time, I remember the rule of thumb. If you find yourself seriously thinking you could be dreaming, you probably are. I think about that, as I reach up to pinch my nose again. This time I can breath better than the first time. I'm just starting to go find something to do when I frustratingly wake up.

I've gotten Lucid a few other times because of the way the Moon looked. But it hasn't happened since the old days.

Haven't had much time, I'll catch up on some journals sometime in the next couple of days.

Hey, nice lucid there! I've gotten one extended lucid in my whole lucid career*that was since December*. Woww. Lol I like the bull and surfing trees! Hang limb xD!

Thanks, I get a lot of bull attacks lately. I guess it's because I see a lot of those when I'm up at the cabin in the summer. There is a longhorn ranch nearby, and their pretty mean looking. They glare at me like they want to kill me lol.

Congratulations on getting that Lucid! I'll look through you journal and see if I can find it.

Reality check timer in a dream!
I'm having a work dream, and I'm talking to my boss when my RC timer starts going off. My boss gives my a funny look, because he is wondering what the timer is for.
I feel uncomfortable about doing a reality check at that moment in front of my boss. So I ignore it and miss out on getting Lucid.

Well, even though I messed up, I'm pretty excited I dreamed of the timer going off. If it happened once, it can happen again! Sometimes in real life, if the timer goes of at a bad moment like that, I will ignore it. So I guess I'm going to have to try and get over that, and just do the RC regardless of the situation I'm in.

Elaborate nap dream
I had this really amazing complex dream in my nap. I was a part of this big family of people that had all sorts of mind powers. I can't remember all the details that well. just a few separate scenes stick out in my memory.

I was in a room, talking to a someone that was a relative of mine, only he didn't know we were related. I went over the family history and convinced him that we were related. The next thing I know, he turns invisible and attacks me. he thinks I can't see him at all. But I can see a vague image if where he is. But I can barely see him, and it's still hard to defend myself. I think that he has a knife and I'm trying to block his knife hand. After a little while of struggling with the invisible man. He becomes visible again.

He hands me a piece of paper. The paper is a love letter, written to him, by a woman, who I was previously having a relationship with in the dream. ( Can't remember that part though.) he uses the paper as a weapon because he knows it will cause me more pain than any knife ever could.

There is a scene where I'm in an office building. it's some important company that I'm working for. The head of the company, is some evil guy who also has crazy mind powers. he is kind of like some mafia leader. I'm on my way out of the building, when I see this janitor pushing a cart with cleaning equipment. I never saw him working there before. I realize, that he isn't a janitor at all. But an agent, sent by the organization of people with mind powers.(not sure how to describe that) But, they are from the family that I'm a part of. And they are trying to do good in the world.

The janitor/agent, is there to try and stop the mafia boss man. I pretend I don't know who the janitor is because I don't want to ruin his cover. I get in an elevator. (there are no problems with the elevator.) Once on ground floor I run into some evil mind power people. It's crazy, their eyes are pure solid black. and they stop time and do some crazy stuff that remember well enough to describe. But, it was wicked and freaked me out pretty good. But they end up just going on there way, and leaving things be.

I remember another strange scene were I'm talking to a business man about starting up my own oil drilling company. Hmm, sounds strange and random, but it fit into the whole plot of the dream somehow.

Moonbeam leaving
I'm really bummed out. because I read a post by Moonbeam saying that if her recall doesn't get better in a couple of days, she isn't coming back to dream views.

Don't leave us Moonbeam!

Great dreams again, Caradon! I see a lot of Heroes influence in them You are a lot better at including the special abilities then I am

Owww, Moonbeam is going to leave if her recall doesn't come back? That would be sad. There are more sad dreams of DV members leaving, I wonder what they are caused by...

Too bad about the missed chance on a lucid... Maybe you can think of an RC that is invisible to others, so you can even do it in front of your boss?

I had some cool powers a few nights back. I'm gonna post it (in mah DJ of course) later though. Too lazy.

Anyways. That was pretty darn cool. I wish I had fought an invisible man. That would be pretty bitchin. Also I can't wait until I get TK in dream again. Maybe the next time I'll realize I'm dreaming and not act as if I've unlocked the secrets to it (IRL).

The rc timer in your dream is great! I got a chuckle from that. Have you decided what kind of inconspicuous rc to do yet when your timer goes off at an inopportune time?

Your elaborate nap dream had lots of good action in. Way to go!

Whooa, nice dreams! I need to try the RC timer.

Just say you gotta blow your nose and do the nose RC. lol.

ah shame on the missed RC mate, I hate it when that happens .... its almost like our sub conscious doesnt want us lucid sometimes

I think that just fiddling with your hands as you talk to your boss is pretty inconspicuous. Just pretend to be massaging your left hand with your right (thumb in palm) and try to stick it through.

Did it really go off while you were sleeping? I mean did you hear it in your sleep?

I won't! I couldn't leave you guys! (But I do hope my recall comes back! )

Yeah, I've had a lot of Heroes influenced drams since watching that.

I didn't know other people were having dreams like that.

For now, I think I'm just going to just try to be braver about it.

Thanks, Yeah, thats happened to me quite a few times thinking i finally learned TK for real.

I'll probably stick with what I'm doing for now. I may try shin's idea of the hands thing.

Thanks, I just wish I could remember the whole story.

Thanks, the RC timer is something I've been experimenting with for a little while now. Maybe a month or so. I dreamed it quite a few times during wild attempts. and heard during HI a lot. But that's that's the first time I dreamed of it in a normal dream.

That's a good idea! Or maybe pretend I have an itch on my nose.

I actually think my subconscious wants me to get Lucid. it seems so helpful most of the time. It is always creating the right events that I need, to trigger Lucidity. Though, it's up to my conscious self to take the next step and realize it.

I may try that.

No, I completely dreamed it! I always turn the timer off before I go to sleep. I like to use earplugs when I sleep, so I wouldn't hear it anyway.

That's good to hear! I knew you wouldn't really leave. I would be pretty bummed if you did though.

A Lucid Dream
Lucid Dream # 6 of 2008
Sunday/January/27/2008
Tornado dreamsign noticed
Reality check induced Lucidity
Another short one, but it was quite exhilarating.

I was at the movie theater. the movie had just gotten over. For some odd reason, I was paying for the movie after I watched it, instead of before. I'm trying to write a check but I'm having problems with the pen. Out of the blue, I hear a siren blaring. I know it's the tornado siren. I go to a window and look outside. There are dark storm clouds, and off in the distance I can see a funnel cloud forming. It doesn't take long for the funnel cloud to become a full fledged tornado, and touch down.

The tornado begins moving in my direction. And it's sweeping back and forth as if it's intentionally trying to do as much damage as it can. The movie theater now seems like quite a small building. I don't think there is any way we can survive a direct hit by the tornado. And I know it's coming right at us. I'm afraid now. I look around and ask,"doe's anybody know of a good place to hide from a tornado around here?" Nobody answers.

My house isn't to far away. And I know that my brother is at my house. I decide I'm going to make a run for it, try to get home before the tornado gets to close. I step outside and begin running. The tornado is moving faster than I had hoped it would. it's getting closer pretty fast. I don't think I can make it. I may have made a big mistake. The wind has picked up so strong, I feel like I'm going to be sucked into the tornado at any moment. The wind is trying to pull me back the way I had come.

I'm trying to move as fast as I can, but it's slow going. I'm half crawling now, grabbing at the earth trying to pull myself along. I can see cars being blown off the road. And the tornado is behind me now. It has already swept through the building I was in, and destroyed it. I'm quite afraid at this point. It suddenly remember that I see tornado's in dreams often. I reach up to pinch my nose. As I do I'm thinking please let this be a dream. I pinch my nose and I can breath!Instantly, relief washes over me. Fear is completely gone. I haven't felt that kind of relief since the old days of nightmare induced Lucids. I fully stand up, and I surrender to the force of the wind. It pulls me into the air, and I begin flying. I have control of my flying though. I think about turning around and flying straight into the tornado to defy it. But, I still have that urge to make it home. I now want to get home to tell my brother this is a dream.

The wind is so strong still, that it gets up under my shirt, and pulls my shirt right over my head. I stretch out my arms, and let the wind pull my shirt completely off me. It's a pretty cool feeling actually. I'm so exhilarated at this point, that I begin laughing hysterically. I fly over a highway and watch the cars driving by underneath me. I continue on trying to find my house, but I'm now not quite sure where it is. I fly in the same direction looking for my house for a few moments when I wake up.

I lay there with my eyes still closed for a few moments trying to deny that I had woken up. But I finally open my eyes and see that it's true.

Comments
Many times I've had tornado dreams, and knew it was something that happens in my dreams a lot. But every time, I believed that this time it was actually happening, and I never got Lucid. Thanks to training myself to do reality checks, this is the first time I've gotten Lucid from a tornado. I'm very happy about that!

I think reading VexKittens journal last night may have influenced this dream.

That is so cool--flying into a tornado! That ought to be a task of the month sometime. Good job on recognizing that dream-sign.

Oh, I saw that you just dreamed about the beeping...that's interesting; I never thought about just doing it during the day and hoping to dream about it at night. How often do you have it set for?

Oh, and you can try to float off the ground for an inconspicuous RC too.

Thanks, Yeah, that would have been really cool to fly into it.

I have the timer set to go off every five minutes. But I don't even have it on when I'm at work. So it's funny that I dreamed about it going off at work.

Yeah, I'll try the levitating idea too.

once again I am left in awe of your dreams mate.

I love tornadoes, it must have been so cool! especially the part were your shirt gets pulled onto and over your head. I must admit I laughed there I thought for a second the shirt was gonna try to suffocate you (I thought it was gonna turn into a shirt attack dream )

Rofl, that would have been funny.

Nice dream! I would have been to scared to stop and think, "Oh wait. Is this a dream?" Cause in real life it would be "Oh wait. Is this a dream? AHHHH! *Gets sucked into tornado*" So, I wouldn't have really stopped to think... CTD!

I'm falling into repetition, but I just have to say it again:

WOW, what an amazing dream!!!

You also have a talent in writing them in a very catchy way (don't know if that's the correct term, I'm a bit tired and might be translating weird dutch sayings now )

The relief must have been enourmous! The sensation you describe when the air pulls you up, love it!

Thanks Mark, Yeah tornado dreams are always so intense. Hopefully I will get Lucid during them from now on. Next time I will try to remember to fly into it.

LOL, shirt attack dream. I wouldn't be surprised I've been attacked by everything else.

Thanks, yeah, I actually thought I was going to end up being sucked into the tornado regardless. Luckily, I've been pretty good about doing reality checks when the idea comes into my mind, most of the time.

The relief must have been enormous! The sensation you describe when the air pulls you up, love it!

Thanks, And thanks for the compliment on my descriptions. I always feel like I have such a hard time describing things well enough.

Yeah, the relief was instant. It's so strange going from fear to joy in a split second.

Two Lucid Dreams
Monday/January/28/2008
Lucid Dream # 7 of 2008
Dream character induced Lucidity
two more short ones.

I'm having this strange dream about being at the doctor. I'm sitting in this really uncomfortable chair. It's like a dentist chair. The doctor is doing something strange with my ear. I don't even remember exactly. I mostly remember how damn uncomfortable that chair was. I bunch of kids come into the room. They are the doctors assistants. They are doing the paperwork or what ever.

At some point the doctor tells me to take a break. So I go outside and get some fresh air. After a few moments, I go back inside. There is somebody in the hall yelling, "this is a dream!" And running around like crazy.

I know he is right, so I am now Lucid as well. I think about how strange it is that I became Lucid, because of a DC becoming Lucid first. I start running up and down the halls as well. I run back and forth a couple of times, doing back flips off the walls at the ends of the corridors.

I now notice this large black woman in a red shirt and black pants. standing at one end of the corridor. She looks very angry and mean. I know that she works here at the office, and does not believe this is a dream. I run up to her, and give her a big hug. I tell her it "is" a dream, and that she should pinch her nose and see if she can breath.

I demonstrate by pinching my nose, but I can't breath! I'm like WTF, maybe I'm wrong. But, I know I'm not wrong! I pinch my nose more trying to breath through it.
But it feels just like doing it when I'm awake.Then I wake up, And I have my nose pinched for real! And I'm like no wonder it wasn't working, I was really doing it in my sleep. This time I know without doubt, that I was pinching my nose for real while I was asleep.

Also, I know why I was dreaming of being in that uncomfortable doctors chair. I was sleeping on my back propped up on pillows. And I woke up just as uncomfortable as I was in that dream chair.


Lucid Dream # 8 of 2008 In my nap
Tree dreamsign noticed.
reality check induced Lucidity.

I'm laying on my back, in the back of a pick up truck. The truck is driving down the road I don't know who is driving. I'm talking to some lady on the phone. She is talking about hair cuts, And I tell her that I'm going to shave my head.

As we drive down the road, I see the most beautiful tree that we had passed. I'm facing the back end of the truck. It's a weeping willow tree. It's very tall, and it has the most beautiful long strands hanging down. The strands are very green, and fine as human hair. The strands are so fine, that I can actually see through them to the many limbs of the tree. And the shape and huge width of the many limbs twisting around in such a way. That I'm just stunned by the beauty of it.

The lady on the phone is just rambling on about what, I don't know anymore. I try to tell her about this most extraordinary tree That I'm seeing. I suddenly remember that these amazingly beautiful trees have been pretty common in my dreams lately. So I Pinch my nose and I can breath!

I ask the lady on the phone, if she can hold on a minute. She says "sure." So I set the phone down with no intention of ever coming back to it. I get up and it's as if I had a false awakening. I'm now at home getting up from my bed. But I never lose Lucidity.
I don't even hardly notice the change in the scene. It's dark and I start walking. I remember Moonbeams comment about trying to see if you can levitate for a reality check. So I decide to try it and see if it will work. I levitate about a foot off the floor,
and float across the room.

I set down again, and start walking across the living room. It becomes so dark, that I can't see at all. It's as if I have my eyes closed, but they are open. I think about trying to visualize a new dream scene. I try a little bit, but I'm to lazy at the moment and don't want to put in the effort.

I run into a wall that I can't see at all. I feel along it with my hands. I turn, and there is another wall. I now think, that I might be trapped surrounded by walls. As if I'm in a very dark closet. I realize, that just feeling that way could make it so. So, I alter my frame of mind, so that I don't feel that way. I'm not afraid at all, just kind of curious about the situation. I turn again, and I can now see a room, that has light. but not much. it's like there is a night-light on. I start walking in that direction when I wake up.

Cloverfield WILD attempt
I enter a scene from the Cloverfield movie without Lucidity. I'm in some place that looks like a parking ramp. I can hear the powerful boom... boom... boom..., of the stomping feet of the giant monster. crazy me, decides to go outside. Some large chunks of unknown debris, similar to very large boulders, come flying through the air in my direction. As they slam into the nearby buildings, the intensity of the impact is so powerful. Even the sound is so intense like it was in the theater. That with each impact, the force of it, makes my real body jerk on the bed. After the third time it happened the powerful jerk of my body on the bed woke me up. It was a very intense experience.

I went to that movie yesterday.

Went to see The new Rambo movie today. It was quite a shocker. It was about the most brutally violent movie I think I've ever seen.
This one should really have a warning beyond just an R rating. A lot of people who have seen the older ones, won't be expecting whats in this movie. And may unknowingly bring their kids along. It's a pure gore fest. But not just with soldiers. They show graphic depictions of women and children, being slaughtered. literally ripped apart with machine gun bullets. legs and arms being blown off, heads exploding, Women being raped. even a small boy laying on the ground being stabbed to death. They don't really show the rapes, but you know whats happening when they start getting their cloths torn off. The graphic gore was throughout all of the action scenes. It was nuts.
