Yo clairity,
This dream was by far the most weird. Gnome Candle (non-lucid - 05/06/08)
It was also intresting.

The gnome is a living breathing thinking candle (?) but cannot move it's body.

Something like this would be a nightmare for me. It gave me thoughts of chucky and those other killer barbie dolls.


Also Attack Cat (Lucid Dream - 05/09/08)

Without warning I feel something "land" forcefully on my chest! My eyes pop open and I find myself staring into the eyes of a scruffy orange cat standing on my chest!

That picture of that cat is scary. I'd be having a nervous break down if I woke up to furball on my chest. Those eyes look like they can pierce into you're past and future.
Thats a scary cat

LOL!! I had gotten my son one of those "My Buddy" dolls

.. then I watched Chuckie and his little "buddy" moved away (to the trash container outside).

Yep.. it'll definately jumpstart your day!

I am outside in the front yard with three of my four dogs and they are off leash running back and forth. I should have clued into the fact that I was dreaming as this was the house that I grew up in and I would never have my dogs running leashless like that.

I hear a thumping sound coming from the side of the house and when I walk over to investigate.. I see a fawn.

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...0aabcf7b63.jpg

It is absolutely beautiful and is trying to jump the fence to our backyard. Sadly it couldn't make it high enough and kept hitting its body against the fence before falling back the ground.

I was really afraid that it was going to hurt itself so I decided to bring it inside. As it wouldn't let me pick it up.. I used my arms and body to "guide" it into the garage and then into the house via the kitchen door.

The dogs run past us as I try to find something for it to eat. I open the refridgerator and find some bread and break it into pieces and hand feed it to the fawn.

Mom and dad are tired and in bed and I try to be very quiet so they don't find out I have a fawn in the house!

My two Bichons want to go back outside and I open the kitchen door and they fall all over each other trying to be the first one out. I turn my attention back to the fawn when it suddenly dawns on me that I didn't put the garage door down so the dogs don't just have access to the backyard (which is fenced-in) but also to the front yard which is not!

I race outside and I find Bijoux

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...008/freddy.jpg

but Bishop

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...08/kasivon.jpg

is missing!!

I feel panic rising inside of me. Bishop is very sweet and extremely shy and all kinds of horrible thoughts race through my head.

I put Bijoux back in the house, grab a leash from the garage and start down the driveway yelling Bishop's name.

A man and his son are walking their dog down the street and I run to them hysterically asking if they've seen a white Bichon.

When they look at me strangely, I say, "It's a big white pouffy dog!!".

The boy points and says, "There it is!"

I look to where he's pointing and I see a man and he's CARRYING MY DOG down the street!!!

I swear I see Bishop look at me over the man's shoulder as if begging me to come get him!!

I take off running and just as I reach the man.. he turns around.. and it's not Bishop.. the dog isn't even a Bichon.. nor white anymore.

I can't understand this and I feel like I'm losing my mind!

I turn and in the opposite direction, I see what looks like SAME man holding my Bishop rounding the corner of a house further down the street!?!

I scream "BISHOP!!" and take off running after them..

My alarm goes off.

NOTE: The pics I used are not my Bichons but they look VERY similar in both size, coat and expressions.

I need to start this post by explaining that our house is decorated in Southwestern (i.e., "Native American") decor and we have lances, Indian busts/figurines, pictures, bowls, etc. throughout our entire house. I really do believe I was Native American in a previous life.. but that's another story.

My husband had stated that his stomach had been bothering him so I was determined that I was going to try a "healing" on him the next time I was lucid but would not tell him so.. to see if he would notice a difference on his own.

We have three lifesize Indian busts in our house. One in the kitchen.. one in our bedroom on the windowseat and one in our living room on the ledge by the stairs.

I was torn in that I didn't know if I should do the healing myself or if I should ask for help from someone else. I thought about asking the Indian bust in our bedroom to help me heal him since I'd brought him to life once before while lucid.

An excerpt from that dream is here:

I then looked over and saw our fullsize Indian warrior bust on the window ledge. In reality it's bronze but it was a bright copper color now. I went over to it and kissed it on the lips. I kept my eyes open and watched as its eyes "blinked". I stepped back and the bust stood up and became a whole fullsize breathing man. To my surprise he was no longer indian but a black male... I don't know why that change occured. He stated that he had to leave.. that he had a party to go to and then things started to fade.

The full lucid dream can be found here: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ian#post496014

Since my husband travels so much and I'm in the house alone.. I just didn't feel comfortable bringing the bust in my bedroom to life. I was afraid that the thought of him "alive" might bother me at night when I'm alone and trying to sleep. I know that's stupid.. but the mind runs away with ya when you're alone in a house at night.

I get up at 3:15 am and go to my living room couch and try to decide what I should do. It would be harder I think to find someone outside the house and bring them in to heal my husband than to just try and do the healing myself.. and so the debate raged on.

I can usually tell when it's going to be a LONG HARD WILD experience and I knew early on.. I was in for a long fight. I lay there not moving.. keeping my mind active but passive for almost 2 1/2 hours. Every time I thought about giving up.. I thought about my husband, that he needed my help and that I had already laid there this long.. and I would keep going.

I finally felt the vibrations and took a slow inhale of breath when my STOOOPID dog went out the doggie door and the sound broke my transition!! I could have screamed but I knew I couldn't let my emotions rise for long.. I had to get back into the transition stage as quickly as I could.

I allowed myself to stretch and then began again. After about 30 minutes.. I felt myself become lucid.. there was no vibration.. no warning.. I just was. I guess my body was just too tired to fight me any longer.

I rolled and stood up and debated again what I should do. I decided that I would open the door and a healer would already be there waiting for me.

It was dark in the living room and when I opened the door.. here is what I saw:



This is the actual bust that sits on my living room ledge and he was now standing in front of me.. lifesize and breathing.

Only I didn't get a good feeling from him. He seemed dark and ominous.. almost threatening.

I blocked his path and asked him if he was of "pure white light" and he didn't respond but only stared darkly at me.

I DEMANDED again.. "Are you of 'pure white light"?!" He replied deeply/echoing, "No."

I thought I'd heard him wrong! I demanded again, "Are you of 'pure white light'?!"

When he replied, "No." again.. I stood my ground and told him, "Be gone from here!! Leave this place!!"

At first he didn't move but then, for some reason, I lost focus and found myself back in my body.

I regrouped and was able to get out again. I walked to the door and this time when I opened it and went outside I found myself on a green hillside.

There laying in the grass were a dozen or so beautiful young white men!

I went up to them and asked if one of them was of 'pure white light' and one of the men pointed at another and said, "He is."

The one pointed to however wouldn't admit it and by now I was extremely tired. Frankly I didn't know if I could find my way back to the house and my husband with someone even if I did find a healer. I had used up all my strength just trying to WILD and then blocking the evil from coming into my home.

I decided then to wake up, record the experience and try again next weekend.

.

I am at a large table and my family is gathered round it getting ready to eat. My sister and her husband are at the other end of the table and they brought their new baby to show the family. I know that my sister and her family are there as I hear their voices very clearly but it's as tho they're invisible to me.. I cannot see them. It's almost as if they're behind some sheer curtain or fog.

I get up from the table and my aunt asks me to go to a party with her. She says that she will call some guys she knows and that we'll have some real fun!

I have a very jealous boyfriend but I agree and go upstairs to change clothes.

We drive to the party but when she goes to call the guys, she discovers that she has forgotten her cellphone. I tell her that I have mine and begin to dig around in my purse.

When I pull my cellphone out and try to open it, it is acting strangely. The case instead of sliding up and down.. now spreads out like ladybug wings!?! When I finally manage to get it completely open.. the keypad is blank!?!
My aunt takes the phone from me anyways and we walk inside the house that's throwing the party. My aunt leaves me to make the calls and, as I enter a room off the foyer, I see through the crowd of people that my boyfriend is there!

He walks over to me and, without a word/greeting, takes me by the hand. He leads me to an empty room, closes the door and asks me who brought me here.

I tell him my aunt and he is less than thrilled as he says that she is always chasing men.

I feel a sense of relief that he is more disgusted with her than angry with me and we leave the room and go outside into the front yard.

As we're standing there, we notice that police are searching the cars belonging to the party-goers. They stop by the car my aunt and I came in and, as I approach it, an officer holds up my broken cellphone and asks if it belongs to me.

A crime has been committed and I can't recall what crime or if the officer even had a chance to tell me before my alarm goes off.

NOTE: I missed so many dreamsigns/chances to become lucid in this dream! 1) My sister having a new baby, 2) she and her husband being invisible at the table, 3) an aunt that I don't have, 4) my cellphone acting strangely and lastly, 5) a boyfriend that I've never seen before.. plus I'm married.

One interesting fact: My oldest sister and I live in the same city but we rarely speak anymore due (I feel) to guilt on her part about "family" stuff I won't get into here.. which is why I believe I couldn't "see" her in this dream!

The Dance Troup (non-lucid - 06/21/08 ) & The School for Thieves (non-lucid - 06/24/08)

The Dance Troop:

This dream starts out at my job. I have a Lucky Bamboo plant

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...008/P127_c.jpg

on a shelf above my desk and I notice that the leaves are missing from the stalks! I realize the strangeness of this and instantly know that I'm dreaming but for some reason didn't become lucid and the dream continued on.

I then tried to find a file but my files were pathetic! They were out of alphabetic order and it took me a while to file and sort them correctly (and still I didn't become lucid).

The dream cuts to a dance studio and there are dancers warming up. It is a dance troup that I wish to try out for and everyone has trained for a least a year or more.

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...2ded10a2a6.jpg

I have no formal training but I KNOW that if they give me a chance and let me try out that I'll be fantastic!

The leader doesn't even want to let me audition but another female dancer talks him into it.

I go into the booth to find my music. The song I have chosen is beautiful, slow and heartfelt and I know I can show my true self to this song.. but my CD is missing! I convince a friend to drive me to my house to get the CD. When we're on our way back to the studio, I pop the CD into the car's player and press the correct number for the song but it's not there! I frantically press my way through all the songs on the CD and the song is simply not there!

I can't understand it, and in my confusion/frustration, I feel the dream start slipping away.

The School for Thieves:

I am a student in a school for thieves. I pass my final exam and I and a couple of friends are now on the run.

I go to pack a small suitcase but can't decide which bras to take! I debate for a good five minutes and finally just throw a couple in.

I want very much to take my little dog on the run with me but I know that I can't.. and the dream ends.

NOTE: As soon as I woke up I knew why the "bras" were in my dream. I had watched a tv program entitled "The History of the Bra" earlier that evening.

The Door Locks (non-lucid - 06/29/08)

FYI.. There is a thunderstorm happening at the time I am having this dream.

I am in my bedroom and I can hear my younger sister arguing loudly with someone.

I suddenly feel threatened not by their words but by the "tone" of something that is said and I use my security lock to lock my bedroom door.

I call the police on my cell phone just as my sister turns the doorknob and then pushes against the door. She then begs me to come out of bedroom by saying that her boyfriend has a gun.

Just as she somehow gets past the first security lock, I slam the adjoining bathroom door and lock it with a security lock as well.

I repeat my address to the police and scream at my sister that the police are on their way.

As I hear my sister telling her boyfriend that I have a cell phone and have called the police, I come to the sickening realization that she is not in danger and therefore wants me to come out because it may save her life.. but that she is in this WITH her boyfriend and nothing will stop her from giving me to him.

And the dream ends..

NOTE: I actually do have two of these security locks.. one for my bedroom and one for the bathroom.

The Flower Shop (Lucid - 07/04/08)

I got up to do WBTB at 4am, let my dogs out and went back to sleep in my bed (since my husband is out of town, I didn't have to go to the living room couch for this WILD attempt).

My transition from awake to asleep and lucid was the fastest and smoothest I can remember. It seemed as tho one minute I was awake and the next I realized I was dreaming and lucid.

I find myself standing in my bedroom and surprised to be lucid. I decided to actually yell outloud "I'm dreaming!" and I think this was the first time I was actually afraid that I was awake and/or that my voice would wake me up if I weren't. My voice sounded so life-like and loud that it startled me a little.

The details from there are sketchy. I remember walking down a well lit street lined with shops of various kinds. I had thought about what I wanted to do before becoming lucid but all plans had evaporated and I more or less went with the flow of whatever happened. Every now and then however I would move things with my mind just to show my lucidity.

I see a guy that attracts me and, not surprisingly, he is attracted to me as well. He walks up to me and says that he's been watching me and has seen what I can do.. which surprises me as I thought no one knew of my lucid powers in this dream.

As we walk side by side, we pass his father's flower shop which is beautifully vivid with color:

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...c0c20f70ac.jpg

He reaches down and gives me a bouquet of various flowers and as we reach the end of the shop, I bend down and grab a single rose out of a bunch:

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...2008/1rose.jpg

We reach the gate to his house and I swing it open with my mind.

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...f8c317a645.jpg

He laughs and says, "See that's what I'm talking about.. it's kind of hard to get used to!"

I smile at him and I feel the dream fading..

NOTE: I have noticed that when I WILD in my bedroom (as opposed to my living room couch) and/or when I don't have a "task" to complete.. the dream details are alot more difficult to recall.

The Stairway and The Quail Eggs (both non-lucid - 07/05/08)

The dreams that I had this morning occured after waking up at 4am, letting my dogs out and going back to bed after taking some ginseng with a cup of apple juice. I listened to my Inner Talk CD but wasn't surprised to hear it click off after 40 minutes as it is rare that I lucid dream two mornings in a row (have only done it once or twice). I put in my earplugs, roll over and proceed to have the following dreams.

The Stairway

My dog gets out and goes running up some long steep wooden apartment stairs.

I follow him up to the top scolding him and once we're at the top, I turn around telling him that we need to go back downstairs.

He bounds down the steps and I follow when, halfway down, he falls through a hole in one of the steps! I scream as he lands and wobbly tries to stand.

I am then gripped with an uncontrollable fear and I freeze! I can't move, I can't go up nor down! I feel as tho I'm going to die.. the anxiety and terror of falling is so overwhelming!

I look at the bottom of the stairs and see a family (mother, father and son) playing with a tiny white puppy.

I yell down to them begging them to help me.. that I can't move!!

The mother stands, reaches over and flips off the stairwell light switch. The stairs are now dark beneath

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...7c6c7a6a-1.jpg

and I find my fear ebbing. As I can no longer see the ground beneath the step/slats, I no longer have any fear of falling. As quickly as the terror gripped me.. it left me.

I go down the stairs thanking them and also say that I will use the front door from now on and they all laugh. I tell them that I am so glad that they were here and the mother says, "me too" and also tells me that I should call the homeowner's association regarding the stairs. I say I will and my dog runs over to me seemingly unharmed.

I go to my front door and check my mailbox which is attached to the wall near my door.

I open it and find only 3 small flat letters/envelopes.

I unlock and open my front door and my dog bolts in but immediately runs back out again. I angrily yell his name and he trots dejectedly back inside. The dream ends..

The Quail Eggs

I and a girlfriend want to go to a house party thrown by the popular clique of girls at our high school. We are outsiders and are not popular by any stretch of the imagination.

We are standing outside the house and I notice that my friend is no longer with me. Just as I decide to turn around and go home.. an old woman smilingly approaches me, hands me a bag, tells me to pass them out and walks away.

I open the bag and find "quail eggs" which look like peanuts only they are dipped in a yellow sweet sticky goo. ( http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1104/...c8b79fc575.jpg )

I somehow know that "quail eggs" are a rare and expensive delicacy so I close the bag and walk to the front door.

I go inside the house and I see some of the girls talking in the livingroom. I offer them each an egg. They show surprise and some take one while others don't. It's polite to take only one quail egg but one girl asks if she can take a couple. I hesitate but say yes and she takes about FOUR!! I'm worried that they're almost gone until she gives me the bag back and I see that it has somehow repleneshed itself.

I go further into the house and find that the home has a "movie" room where there are 5 rows of seating (like in a movie theater). The snootiest 5 girls are in this room and I go down each row offering each an egg and one by one they refuse. They simply shake their heads no.. some don't even look at me as they do so... trying to "dismiss" me. But surprisingly it doesn't hurt me. I figure it's their loss especially since I know that they are secretly dying inside to take one. It gladdens me to realize that my lack of concern at their refusal irritates them as much as it does and I stroll confidently out of the room.

I see a guy that everyone likes but is not "one of them" standing looking out the window at a girl by the pool. He obviously has a crush on her and I walk over to him and tell him to go get her!

He's afraid to approach her, afraid that she'll turn him down but I simply say to him, "What if she doesn't?" He thinks for a moment and I say, "You can't let this opportunity go by.. if you do, you'll always wonder what might have happened." I give him a couple of eggs and send him on his way.

He walks over to her by the pool and I see him offer her an egg. They are laughing and talking. I can't make out what is being said through the glass but as they walk away together, he looks over his shoulder at me and mouths the words, "Thank you!".

I decide to go out by the pool and see a large beautiful monarch butterfly take off from a plant.

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...1bd543c6-1.jpg

It begins to chase a large flying snail and, as it attacks it.. I sense that it will eat it. A boy of about 4 runs after the butterfly causing it to drop the snail and the boy's mother tells him to leave that butterfly alone, that it is hunting and that he'll get bit!

As I turn, I see my friend and she is in a chair balanced over the pool.

She is laughing and playing a game where if she misses a question, she will get dunked.. if she answers correctly, she gets a quail egg. She shrieks with glee when she sees me and yells that she's winning.. that she has 32 eggs so far! As I can tell that she's having a great time, I decide it's ok for me to leave.

As I head for the gate leading from the pool to the front of the house, I feel on top of the world. I feel as magical and as special as the eggs left in my bag. I proved that they couldn't hurt me and that I didn't need their approval.

As I leave, the dream begins to fade and I wake up with a smile on my face.

I love those dreams. I especially enjoyed the idea that turning off the lights is the best way. Seemingly leaving you to the problem worked best.

And the quail eggs thing is amazing. Eggs can mean so much, here they seem to give you a sense of power, self-sufficiency and self-confidence which gives you power over people you would normally be disadvantaged with.

My friend has this saying "I am only an egg" to mean he is confused by something, too young for it but that he will grow. There's a lot of potential and power in the idea of eggs.

apachama, I'm glad you liked them.

I have always had a fear of going down stairs, stadium bleachers, etc. when you can see the ground between them. What is so weird about turning off the lights is that I can see that really taking away the fear for me in real life.

I had never really thought about the "power" of the egg. I also like what your friend says.. it makes a lot of sense.

Thanks so much for reading and for your comments!

The Examination Room (non-lucid -07/07/08)

I took a break from ginseng, apple juice, etc. and merely tried to sleep. I had the worse night as I could not turn my brain off. I ended up probably getting about an hour and a half of sleep and I only know that I slept as I had the following dream prior to waking up.

I called in sick to my job and went to my second job as a nurse's assistant.

I enter an examination room and see a young woman of about 25 with curly blonde hair sitting on the exam table.

She is being seen as she has complained about pain/tenderness in her breasts.

A nurse comes in and matter-of-factly tells her that her test results don't look good.

The young woman blinks rapidly twice and then begins to cry. The nurse doesn't react at all to her tears. She simply turns to me stating that the woman had become upset earlier when they told her that she would need to have the tests done and that she had created a "scene" with the other nurse on the floor.

The woman looks at me with a mixture of embarrassment and fear and I instinctively go to her. She is seated so I stand next to her and wrap my arms around her shoulders and try to comfort her by telling her not to worry. I stroke the hair off her forehead and tell her that the nurses aren't angry with her.. that she just frightened them earlier. I also tell her that I've had breast pain before and that it had turned out alright. I feel her calming as I state that I won't leave her.

As I am holding her, I am struck with the sense that this is my calling.. what I am meant to do.. to help/comfort people.

Later I go home and am telling my mom and sister about my day but they don't seem to care. My mom simply keeps reading her magazine, flipping a page every now and then.

I then tell them about a woman who was to have nasal surgery to remove the thick hair growing out of her nose. I see that this story brings an end to the page flipping and that I have both of their undivided attention.

The dream starts to fade on this weird note..

The Fireworks & The Beach Pool (Lucid - 07/13/08)

I find myself in the bedroom I spent my teens growing up in. I had just gotten in bed when I realized I hadn't rolled my hair. Knowing that my hair wouldn't look right in the morning unless I rolled it.. I got up, went to the mirror, parted my hair in 3 sections and rolled the ends. As I got the last roller in and went back to bed, I heard kid's voices outside my bedroom windows laughing.. They were shining flashlights at the windows so I put the shades down.

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...a64e13e239.jpg

I hear voices in the living room and I left the bedroom and found my son (as a toddler) along my mother. My son had peed on the living room floor and the yellow puddle was very obvious against the beige carpeting.

There was a bucket of soapy water and some sponges and I gave one to my son and told him that he was going to help me clean up. We cleaned up the pee and I went back to my bedroom.

Once back in my bedroom, I turned out the lights and got in bed. I wondered what time it was and I pushed the button on my watch so it would light up the watch dial.. but the light wouldn't come on! I pushed it again but still no light. I tried pushing all the buttons that were on the sides of the watch but no light! In my confusion, a "small/quiet" thought came to me.. what if I'm dreaming? I pinched my nose shut and found I could still breathe but it wasn't an "eureka" moment.. just a very calm realization.

I was now vividly lucid in this dark room which makes no sense but it was true. I could only make out objects that I directly looked at.. only those objects were illuminated in the darkness.

I saw a round box and, when I lifted it, I discovered that it was a music box. When I wound the key, the top opened and a carriage with a white porcelain woman and man were visible inside.

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...ketopper-1.jpg

A sweet melody began to play and the woman figure began to sing.. only her mouth moved in her frozen body. Next the man's part began and he too sang by only moving his mouth.

When the song ended I remembered the DVs lucid tasks of the month. The first task that came to mind was the one I had actually suggested.. to shoot fireworks out of the palm of your hand or through your fingertips. I looked up at the ceiling and noticed that the ceiling was gone.. there was just blue black sky speckled with stars.

I flew high above the house and hovered in that sky for a bit. I opened my palms and pointed them upwards and tried to shoot fireworks but only a slight pop and fizzle happened.

I then thought, "I know I can do better than that!". I aimed my right finger and simply and confidently thought "fireworks".

The first few weren't very bright against the very dark sky but by the fourth try I had gotten it right.

I then remembered about the "beach" task but wasn't sure how to go about finding one. I had never had much success with spinning but something told me to spin.. that this time I wouldn't wake up.

I closed my eyes and spun a couple of times and when I opened them I was floating above a swimming pool on the edge of a beach!

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...eachPool_w.png

I look down and see a man I am attracted to standing in the pool.. the water up to his waist. I land in the pool next to him, pick him up in my arms and walk with him up the stairs and out of the pool. Picture this only with the man and women in reverse position (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3242/...0945f1de16.jpg).

I noticed that he didn't seem surprised at all to be carried in such a manner and I asked him if this happened often and was amused when he said, "yes".

I set him down and pulled him to me for a kiss. He resisted saying that he didn't know me. I replied, "You're right." and my right hand grabbed his swim trunks at the waistband and I pulled him to me again. When his lips were once again unresponsive to mine.. I shrugged and turned away. Once I feigned no interest, I was not surprised when he pulled me back and this time, he sought out my kiss. It seems that even my DC males want to be the aggressor in relationships!

When the kiss had ended, I asked him if he wanted me to carry him back to the pool and he replied, "no".. at which time, I felt the dream ending.

When I checked my watch it was 2:18 am.

The Big Screen TV (lucid - 07/20/08)

I guess I'll begin by stating what preparations I took the evening before.

I took 2 ginseng at bedtime around 11:30 pm. I then got up at 3:30 am, took 2 Galantamind and 1 Alpha-GPC with a cup of apple juice. I stayed up about 20 minutes, went back to bed, put my ear plugs in, repeated my protection mantra and then used the following suggestions and visualizations.

I would think of letters of the alphabet and then visualize my performing an action associated with that letter. For example, the letter A" (reaching up and picking an "apple" from a tree), then the letter "B" (hitting or bouncing a "ball"), then the letter "C" ("climbing" a ladder), then the letter "D", etc. The key to this is to try to really "feel" the motion/movement associated with each letter.

After about 20 more minutes, I felt the galantamind kick in.. it's a definate sensation of a difference in awareness. I saw slight blobs of HI and then I took one then another slow deep breath inhalations and was in a lucid dream!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was in my living room.. (I knew it was mine tho it didn't look anything like my real living room). My husband was there along with a couple of his friends.

I was sitting on the floor and, tho I knew I was lucid, I also knew that I had NO control in this dream.. that it was going to have a life of it's own and I was simply aware and going along for the ride.

I look over at the wall and there is a huge projection tv and images are starting to appear there.

First there are black and white cartoons and then an episode of "Leave it to Beaver"!

It appears that only "I" can see these images on the screen and my husband and his friends think that I'm crazy.. but I was never more clear-headed.

My sister walks in and begins talking to me and I "shush" her so I could continue to watch the images on the screen undisturbed.

Suddenly I see myself on the screen from the shoulders up.. singing!! I look exactly as I do in real life. The picture is so clear.. so extraordinarily vivid.

I think to myself that this is the best lucid dream I've had in a long time.. and I have no control over anything!

My sister starts talking again and I say to her in all sincerity, "The world is better if you quiet yourself and listen to the voices inside you."

Everytime I thought the dream was ending.. it started up again.

I took out my pad and pen and started to write down what I saw.. only of course I was having a false awakening and sadly wasn't really writing down anything.

When I woke up for real, the images of the dream came too quickly.. I couldn't seem to sort them out enough to write them all down. As quickly as they came to me.. they were gone.. like wisps of smoke in a breeze.

Part of me felt that I was still on the "edge" of the dream and that if I stopped writing and simply gave in to sleep, I could continue the dream.. but I also knew that if I stopped writing, I would lose what little details I had.

Even though I lost a great deal of the details of this dream.. it left me feeling very satisfied.

Thanks!

It was like someone turned the tv on and there were already programs playing.

The Lobby Stairs (non-lucid - 07/24/08)

I'll preface this dream with some (perhaps) pertinent background information.

I went to the emergency room on Sat (07/19) because they thought I might have a blood clot in my leg since it felt like the veins in my left calf were tightening and my heel was numb. I was told to go to the ER as my doctor stated that if it were a blood clot and it broke free and traveled to my lung it could kill me. Well they did a doppler (sp) sonogram and luckily I don't have any clots and my blood work came back normal.

I had a doctor's appt on Mon morning (07/21) and, since I'm not overweight, don't smoke, etc.. he feels I just strained/sprained the muscles somehow and that it will just take some time to get/feel back to normal. He wrote a prescription for an anti-inflammatory and some Ambien to help me sleep. In the meantime, my calf just has a dull constant ache.

Yesterday, I could tell that my calf is slowly getting better. I felt (and internally heard) 4 or 5 distinct pops (like bubbles bursting) in the veins of my calf and that seems to have helped. I also purchased some Icy/Hot patches and those things are faboo but they do have a distinct "menthol" smell. I put one on that you are to sleep in and the pain was so diminished I didn't need an Ambien.

My first alarm went off and when I shifted position, a strong waft of menthol punched me in the nose. I must have fallen back asleep as I had the following dream:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I am a new hire at a fancy firm of some kind. I am shy, timid and very quiet and my co-workers have all known each other for a long time and are very cliquish. They are all successful, beautiful people and I almost get a cheerleader and jock vibe from them.

We are seated on some couches and chairs that are forming a semi-circle in the lobby of this beautiful building.

They are discussing where to go for lunch and I am obviously not invited.

I meekly ask one of the girls where the bathrooms are and was told "upstairs".

The stairs are many and very steep.

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...24f0aeadbc.jpg

I see people young and old, fat and fit and all are going up and down these stairs with no problem so I start up them too.

I soon realize that I am not going to make it to the top. The stairs seem to have gotten steeper and higher and now resemble these stairs:

http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...da1d59f67d.jpg

I feel my legs weaken and then cramp up and I see that there is no railing near me that I can use to help pull myself up.

I search desperately the faces of those going by me.. asking first with my eye and then with my voice for someone to help me.

At last I see a hand reach down from in front of me and I grab it as tho I am drowning and it pulls me up to the landing.

I look into the face of the man who helped me and I thank him. I am almost in tears as I make my way down the hall to the bathroom.

The scene changes and I am once again in the lobby with my co-workers tho I don't recall leaving the bathroom nor the trip back down the stairs.

A woman that I vaguely recognize in the dream (but is one of my co-workers in real-life) asks me where the bathroom is. I point towards the stairs and say, "Up there and to the right."

To my horror, I look up a short time later to see her crumple on the stairs! I run to her as she is carried back down and over to our circle of sofas.

One of my new female co-workers gets in my face and hisses at at me,

"Don't you dare act concerned! You sent her up there!! You are one evil bitch!!"

At first I am shocked silent by this attack and for a split second I don't react.. but only for a split second.

As I feel myself losing it.. I lean into her personal space throwing her off balance emotionally. It was all I could do not to strike her and my whole being shook with emotion as I yell back at her.

"Don't you DARE say that to me! I'm NEW here! I didn't know that she would have trouble.. no one ELSE seems to! You all sent ME up those stairs and not ONE of you came to help ME! You all left me and went to lunch together.. you've gone out of your WAY to make me feel unwelcome!"

I notice that the entire lobby has gone silent.. that no-one is moving.. all ears/eyes are on me.

As I'm ranting, I feel something break inside me and I feel myself getting stronger.. more confident.. fearless!

Suddenly the female co-worker is now a "he" and is backing away from me. He trips landing on his butt in front of me and is looking up at me with a mixture of fear and embarassment on his face.

The room explodes in applause as my alarm goes off.
