Thread: Caradon's Dream Journal

Whoehahahaa, because of the warning, I didn't dare to watch, thanks to the other comments I did take a look
LOL, I saw this commercial on TV here.

Caradon = John West

BTW: how do you wake up from WILD attempts, I mostly end up falling asleep normally

hey man nice one on the wild with the cup, I see what you mean when you say they become animated. That is really cool I will have to look into that like

It was actually pretty cool.
I think I had bears at some point. I just remember waking up from a dream and knowing there were bears involved. But I can't remember what it was now. I watched that Timothy Treadwell Movie last night. You know, people gave that movie a lot of bad reviews. But I really like it. Granted the guy was quite a weirdo, but it's a pretty sad story really. And some pretty cool video of the bears and foxes.

LOL yeah, I was expecting something scary to happen. Then that guy ran up and jumped on the bear. I was like, why would anybody ever do that? Then that bear started doing round house kicks and stuff.

I've been able to use TK to completely control the actions of DC's like they were puppets before. I'd love to do that with a bear and see if I could recreate that video in a dream.

No, not john West lol. Maybe I should change my user name to that.

Yeah pretty funny, I don't think I ever saw that before. Though the one Pancaka posted looked kind of familiar.

Well, I don't wake up on purpose lol. When I'm that close to the waking state, just the slightest surprise or excitement wakes me up.
The only time my WILDs ever last any length of time, is if I go into them Lucid, but I don't think about it at all. As soon as I think about how cool it is, I wake up. Sometimes if I have just partial Lucidity, I will be able to stay in it a little while longer as well. One of these days I'll post the only successful WILD I ever had.

Yeah, I've often had dreams where I'm showing people photographs of places. Every single time, the events in the photo will come to life. And sometimes I'll even get sucked into it, like what happens sometimes when you watch TV in a dream.

I think it was a very interesting (and sad) study of extremely irrational behavior. You're right about those bear and fox videos--amazing. He was talented, in a way. Insane, but dedicated. One thing that I think is strange tho is how they say there is no transcript of when he got eaten. I know there is, because I read it right after it happened, and my Mom said she heard the whole thing on the radio. She was horrified, and described exactly what I read, so I know that it was out there at one time.

A Lucid Dream

Lucid Dream # 15 of 2008
Best dreamsign noticed.

The first thing I remember, is going into some convenient store. I buy a power-ball ticket. As I go to leave the store. there are people everywhere. Every time I move in any direction, there is somebody in the way that I run into. I get a bit frustrated, and I pretty much bounce off a few people. But I finally make my way out of the store.

My car is parked along the side of the road. I get in and look to see if there are any cars coming before pulling out. But my car sits pretty low, and I can't see past another parked car. I just decide to chance it a and pull out. Luckily there was no cars coming.(I was in the exact same situation for real today. but I didn't pull out blindly lol.
I found a safer way.)

I drive down the road a bit, then make a left turn. The road is all weird now, all sorts of dips in the road, small hills. A craziness comes over me, and I put the peddle to the floor. I hit one of the dips at speed and catch some air. I smoothly land down the face of another dip in the road, then there is a small hill before me. I punch it again, and catch a little more air. I'm suddenly not in a car any more, but on like a sled or something. I become Lucid, and think "Woo hoo, this is a dream! I fly down the road a bit, then I start to wonder why I think it's a dream just because I hit a jump lol. I remember to do a reality check at this point. I pinch my nose, and I can breath.
But just after I do that, the dream fades and I wake up.

Don't think I'm going to count this one, because of being so short. But I'm happy to have realized I was dreaming anyway.


Recall is a little better, the other dreams I had though I can't remember details well enough now. I had a cool adventure dream though. Where I was captured by some odd organization, that was running what ever it was they were doing, from deep beneath this pyramid. I remember being in a helicopter when we were attacked and captured by these people, and taken down beneath the pyramid. I remember a little bit about trying to escape,and fighting some of them.

Then something about watching some really odd cartoon with some kid.

And some kind of family get together.

Yeah, I'm willing to bet that recording will turn up on the internet somewhere eventually.

I looked it up last week, and found something labeled recording of Timothy Treadwell's death. But, when I tried to check it out, and see what it was. It said I needed to download something to my computer in oder to play it. So I didn't bother.

I always get warnings from my computer saying downloading that stuff could potentially harm my computer. So I'm reluctant to do it.

That would be absolutely amazing!

lucid again. It looks like you have a pretty lucid month so far, doesn't it?
And I like this dreamsign of yours, making high/long jumps. That's a thing I wish for my next dream, jumping great distances.


Oh, I finally found a key which makes layout in replies much easier! There's a small button in the right upper corner with A/A on it. It makes the layout look the way it's being posted. Very easy, especially with Caradon's crazy addiction to Times New Roman (why didn't I see this before...)

Congrats on the lucid, Car! (I'd count it. )

I never saw that either...I'm not sure what it did when I hit it. I'll have to experiment. Thanks.

I'm just experimenting with sara's magic button

all it seems to do is completely remove all formatting. If you have a font it'll change it back to normal and get rid of all the marks and gibberish. I noticed that when I quote Caradon, there's formatting code everywhere.

Hmm, well I guess you talked me into it.

Well, compared to where I was at before I got sick. I still feel like I'm getting over a dry spell. I've only had one real good one this month so far. And that was pretty short too. I had a some what successful WILD last night. And I got Lucid in my nap, but I can't really remember much of it. I think I'm close to getting it back again though.

Yeah, That Dreamsign comes from spending so much time flying in Lucids.There is no feeling in the world like flying in a dream. And almost every time I get airborne, I recognize that feeling. For a while there, it was the only dreamsign I was recognizing. It's a good thing I have a helpful subconscious.

Didn't know my text was causing problems. But it looks like you found a solution.

I like using that for dream entries, just because I think it looks nicer that the standard.

I used the button and that's what it did to Caradon's post. Just took away all the code language for the fonts and stuff so that it's easier to read while in a reply, but it completely removes the font as you can see.

Well, if it makes it easier to quote thats fine. It doesn't matter what the quoted text looks like.

Lucid dream # 16 of 2008


I was focusing on listening for sounds, when I start to hear some very dramatic classical music. I can hear all the instruments clearly. As I listen to it, This image appears. The image looks like a carrot, only curved in a half circle. The carrot is moving in a circle like a rotating wheel. After a moment of watching that, I enter a scene where I'm laying on the ground looking up the side of a tall building, and into the sky. The image fades, and I'm back to the waking state.

But I don't move, and I keep focusing. It only takes a second before I start hearing the classical music again. Only this time it sounds different. As I listen to the music, I begin to hear the sound of some beast growling, I'm trying to think of where I heard that before. And I'm thinking it's from the Saber tooth Tiger, from Ten Thousand BC,
Which I watched yesterday. I can hear the growling/roaring the whole time I'm contemplating what it could be.

Once I decide what it is, I begin to see the tall grass from one of the scenes in the movie, And I see the face of the Saber tooth looking at me over the top of this thick fallen log. As I look into it's face, it opens it's massive jaws, and lets out a loud roar.
I have now fully entered the scene, and I decide to use TK to push The Saber tooth away from me.

As I do so, the scene shifts a little, and we are on the edge of this tall rocky cliff. It's a little dark out, but not overly so. I have this magical talisman in my hand, and it's glowing with a soft blue light. I'm using this talisman, to channel my TK abilities. Even as I do it, I realize that I don't need the talisman. It just kind of naturally appeared in my hand. But the dream has this really cool fantasy world feel to it now, and it's like I'm this all powerful wizard or something. So I just decide to keep using it for the fun of it. I even notice this wide sleeve hanging off my arm, like I'm wearing a wizards robe.

The Saber tooth is pushed over the side of the cliff and falling. It is falling hind end first, and it looks up into my eyes as it falls. It has an expression on it's face of wonder and awe of my power. It has changed form somewhat, it looks more like a man shaped lion now. Kind of like the lion from The Wizard of OZ, only realistic looking. Not just a guy in a costume lol. I feel bad about pushing it off the cliff, because I wasn't intending to kill it. It never did attack me or anything, it was just a little bit to close for comfort so I pushed it away.

I begin using TK to levitate the lion man to safety, when I suddenly start thinking about how cool this whole WILD is. And That's all it takes to make me wake up.

After writing this out and seeing how long an entry it is. I think I'm going to call this a success, and my first countable WILD It was definitely the coolest WILD I ever had.


I was also Lucid in my nap today, but all I remember is that there were vampires involved, I think I was fighting them.

:bravo: I'm happy for you but jealous too! That was really cool (and strange, how it started out!). I saw 10,000 B.C. and I didn't get any dreams at all from it! You see a saber-tooth and instantly you are lucid!

(That movie sucked big time, don't you think? Well...maybe not for you..you got lucid from it. That would have been worth it then.)

Thanks!, I was actually Lucid the whole time, from start to finish.

Well, I've been trying to tell myslelf I liked it lol. But the only thing I really liked was the Saber Tooth, and the part where they were being attacked by the giant Ostriches.

But yeah, I wasn't to happy with it. I was actually thinking about leaving, because it was taking up to much of my day off, and I wasn't really into it.
The previews were better than the movie lol. Batman and Speed racer both look like fun to watch.

Yay! Congrats on the WILD!!!

Thanks! I think I'm going to have to try harder to focus on hearing sound first. That seems to work a lot better for me. Plus it's so fascinating listening to stuff in my mind like that. But it's a lot harder to keep my thoughts that quite. I have to keep from thinking a single word, and let them come into my mind on there own.

I Forgot to write something in my entry. Before I started hearing the classical music, a heard a man shout woooo, and start laughing.

I guess Pancaka is a bit feminine and used the wrong button
There's one in the LEFT upper corner which removes all formatting. And on the RIGHT there's a button which shows the formatting INSIDE the box you're typing in. It's very neat, you can see the smilies like images (only after a refresh or when you click them, not when you type : ) and such )

Aahhh, that's the trick, don't push the mind for images, but go with the flow...
I had another failed WILD attempt last night, my pet rats scared me awake with loud noise

Which I watched yesterday. I can hear the growling/roaring the whole time I'm contemplating what it could be.

Wow, that is soooo cool! It sounds like an incredible WILD. Definitely worth counting!

An image appearing from what starts with a sound... Ow, I had WILDs like that too, but that was more than 2 months ago


I haven't seen that movie yet, is it worth watching or not?

Grrr my normal lucids aren't that long or good, but you managed to WILD. I think I can sympathize with Mark now . Nice one. I should try WILD for the heck of it some time. I think I'm due for a lucid any moment now...

Sara: Lol I don't know why I went for the left. I gotta get more sleep I guess

BTW. Very nice what you said about me being feminine...wanna see my shoe collection lol jk. (take it back! )

Yea I guess it wasn't that, since it was a WILD. That's cool that you WILDED, since you were lucid before seeing it. Otherwise, you might have just gotten attacked.

Yea, you're right--Speed Racer, Batman, and Get Smart movies (did you see that preview too?) it's like my childhood after-school TV. Did you used to watch those? And Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island.

Congrats on the WILD! That really was cool. The TK, wizarding, lion man. I really enjoyed that.

I like your new avatar and sig as well. Radical change from what you normally put up. Now you look lovable and cuddly.

cool wild you had there mate! it must have been good to be a wizard!

Is that film good by the way? It looks it but its not out here for a while yet.
