The man is trying to drag the little girl out of the elevator and I grab her other arm and we are in a vicious tug of war for her!

Oh my, you were quite the heroine in that dream...the little girl portion sounded a bit disturbing. I've had similar dreams where godawful things along the same lines are happening and of course it's looked on as normal. Shame the mace appearing didn't get you lucid but eh, it happens. Yay for saving her and yay for pushing away the cheating DC..heh.

Good job keeping the world safe!

I'm thinking maybe you don't like your girlfriend's boyfriend? Is the guy a creep or something?

Way to go, Clairity.

Just for good measure, you should have given that guy a swift kick in the nutz, after macing him.

What's with our dreams trying to hurt little kids? I had one where a mobster ran over a little girls head with the front tire of his car. Nobody seemed upset about it but me.

Good job on fending that guy off!

More coincidences.

OK, I'm probably annoying everybody by constantly pointing out dream-coincidences, but they seem to be happening more and more.

It's pretty cool actually! It's worth watching to see if it keeps up.

Yeah, good job taking care of that guy Clairity. It's Cool How you just naturally summon what you need, even when your not Lucid.

whey nice one clarity I like the part were you spary it in his eyes and kick him out the lift

Wow you destroyed him!! Good job! Too bad that didn't make you lucid... But your not one for DILD's eh?

Yeah.. I can't believe that the mace appearing didn't clue me in.

Actually, I'd never seen the girlfriend or her boyfriend before.. They were strictly "made up" dream characters.

If he hadn't gotten of the freakin' elevator that would have been my next move!

OMG.. that poor little girl! What is it with our non-responsive DCs when people (especially little kids) are in trouble???

Well how about some happy pleasant dream coincidences?

I actually think that was a first for me.. I don't recall ever summoning things before.. but I think I was just so desperate to help that little girl!

Thanks! I really WISH I could DILD.. they just don't happen for me!

I am in a hotel room getting ready to go out. My female cousin and some others people are in the adjoining room. We had started to go to a "house party" but one of the guys stated that would be a bad idea so we decided to go to a club instead.

My cousin stated to pick out something "yellow" to wear as that would make us stand out in the crowd.

I walk to my closet and see that I have three yellow outfits to choose from.. a couple of dresses and a blouse.

I take out one of the dresses but when I put it on and look in the mirror.. it is no longer yellow.. but a plaid design.

I take off that dress and pull out the 2nd yellow dress. I put it on and step in front of the mirror and see that it is darkly stained! As I stand there trying to figure out what the "growing" stain is.. to my horror I realize that it is blood! I'm still trying to figure out where it's coming from (because I know I'm not injured) when I realize that it is "period" blood and it is steadily covering every inch of my yellow dress.

I still can't seem to register what is happening when 2 men and a woman I've never seen before enter my room. The women comes into the bathroom with me and starts to change her clothes. She acts as though I'm not there.. conversing with the two men through the bathroom door. She finally finishes changing and they all leave.

Once they are gone.. I go back to the closet and get my remaining yellow item.. a blouse. I put it on just as my cousin comes in from the adjoining room. "Everyone is waiting on you!" she says. I tell her that I'm coming and ask if I should wear this yellow blouse or the plaid dress that still hangs in my closet. She replies, "I told you to wear yellow!"

I put on some blue slacks but can't find my socks! I locate them and put on my shoes and we head out the door as the dream fades..

lol!! Weird!

That's interesting...I'm a decent DILDer, but I wish I could WILD outside of those rare conditions where it only takes me 5 minutes to enter REM sleep. I'd probably have to be very patient with myself, and wait for more than an hour after a typical wake-up time...which would require lots of concentration. It's not easy to keep my mind active for an hour straight. However, if I'm trying to induce any kind of lucid I can get, I may try to think of lucid dreaming whenever my mind is semi-active after having recently woken up, and obsessively thinking about lucids does seem to increase my chances of DILDing.

It always used to seem like my rare spontaneous WILDs were inherently more vivid and stable and with longer lucidity periods than my much more common DILDs. But then I discovered the power of lucid goals to stablilize my DILDs. As long as I have a lucid goal in mind, my DILDs are just as vivid and controllable as my WILDs...although when/if I accomplish the lucid goal I quickly forget I'm dreaming.

I think WBTB's (be they deliberate or "get up to pee" things) help too, because the memory of having recently been in a different world (the waking world) tends to make me suspicious and help trigger DILDs. They may be especially helpful later in the sleep cycle, because the last dream or two will typically be the most vivid, at least for me.

Even so, I still miss most of my dream signs in most of my dreams. Lately I've been averaging roughly one DILD a week. I could do much better in dream sign recognition.

ha ha mad dream! it must have been totally freaky with the blood and random as owt when the lass came in and started changing infront of ya

That's funny about the cloths changing on you. Isn't that so typical of dreams.

That seems to be a HUGE problem for me.. my dream recall is sporadic at best during the work week and I simply do NOT recognize my dream signs (tho I know what they are).. nor do "out of the ordinary" things clue me in.

LOL!! I was like "EXCUUUUSE ME.. OCUPADO!!"

It was frustrating as hell.. I just can't believe I didn't realize I was dreaming!

Ahhh Clairity...I have some similar dreams..obviously not the same problem (no, I assure you :p)...but a kind of anxiety nightmare...something bad happens at the last moment before a function or something important and you're in a panic...the socks...the blood...ahh!!! I feel your (dream) pain.

I guess I could relate in that I've dreamed..of course I was absolutely naked suddenly..on in exceedingly tight white underwear...pants falling down, stumbling/clumsy...that kind of stuff..hehe. I think it's a common theme

Exceedingly tight white underwear?

Uhm.. ouchy.

Yar..didn't make much sense..I was comparing your troubles in that dream to a self-concious moment I had in one of mine..involving me being in public..in tight underwear...heh, nevermind.

The Funeral:

There is a funeral for my dad's friend and I was not invited. The funeral is in an auditorium.

There are three caskets.. a dad and two sons. For some reason I wondered if they died in a fire.

A priest comes up to me and asks where the funeral was. I told him that I would show him but we got lost at first.

We finally get to the auditorium but they stopped us at the door.

I tried to vouch for the priest saying that he was a real "reverend".

The men at the door asked the priest if he knew the family and when he said, "yes".. they let him go in.

Suicidal boy:

A boy of about 12 years old decides to kill himself as he feels he has no friends.

He goes to a bridge that is over water and some other boys are in a row boat watching.

The boy steps over the bridge's railing and stares down into the water below.

He then raises his hands and jumps.

The water is too shallow and I fear that he might have broken his neck when the dive turns into a horrendous belly flop.

He surfaces and swims over to the boat. The three boys in the boat were so relieved that he was alive.

One said that he had a present for him and jumps into the water beside him.

As they stand in the water facing each other, he hands him a box and when the boy opens it.. it holds a signed soccer ball.
(The other boys had played soccer without him earlier that day.)

The boy is so touched that he grabs his new friend's face with both hands and kisses him on the lips.

The boy from the boat is so surprised/shocked that he doesn't react/pull away.

The dream ends..

Yay, good to see some more dreams

That first one does not sound all that fun...awful..a father and children..strange how you speculated they died in a fire..ideas come in dreams out of nowhere it seems..

The suicide dream was touching.. (Strangely enough I had one that began rather similarly). Anyway, at first I thought I was going to go to sleep sad after reading the way it began but the ending was wonderful...(though a bellyflop from so high? that would be one bad redmark on his stomach). The spontaneity of the present giving and the resolution right there in the water of the boy knowing that he is loved...sounds like it could be a short movie of sorts..

Sorry your having troubles recognizing your dream signs...i'm sure it will rebound soon..

yeah like bro says its good to see some more dreams

shame though sounds like it was quite a distressing night first a funeral then a suicide attempt....not nice

Wasn't that the whole point?

That's not going to help his popularity any...

Hehehe...I agree, but it was such a nice little dream, It was easy while reading (for me) to let the lip kissing go like water under the bridge.

Yep.. but the last dream ended sweetly.

True.. but I still didn't want to witness his death.

Again true.. but the dream ended with the image of the boy blissfully happy.. and I decided not to think past that point.
