Thanks Moonbeam!!

I didn't go back and find all the lucid dreams that I'd already posted on this forum (i.e., tasks of the month, etc.).

I just searched my personal dream journal, found the most interesting lucid dreams that I'd had in the past and posted them.

I hope you like them!

Hi Clairity, this is this first time I've seen your dream journal. Only had time to read a little of it so far. pretty fascinating stuff though. It's good to see you started one. I also, was wondering why you didn't have one. I just figured you preferred to write on paper.

Thanks Cardon! I just felt that my non-lucid dreams wouldn't interest anyone but me and the lucid ones I'd had since I joined this forum I had already made posts about.

Anyhoo, here is a NON-lucid dream I had:

I was running outside and kids were some where else being tortured by evil men.

I get to the outside of a house when a man threw what appeared to be something wrapped in a round cloth package at me and the man with me.

I sidestepped the rolling package/bomb and laughed when it didn't go off.

The man with me unwrapped the cloth package and it was full of little baby hands and fingers. I get the feeling that these are our children's hands/fingers.

The man screams and I look in the window and see that there is no reflection of the hands/fingers in the window.

I shout that there's nothing there.. that it's not real.. and I pick up a chair to break the window when my alarm goes off and wakes me up.
.

I got up at 3:00 am, moved to the couch and decided I'd try something different.

Instead of listening to a subliminal MP3/4 or simply saying suggestions, I decided to put one of my favorite DVDs in my computer. I figure that since I already know the plot pretty much by heart, that I could passively listen to it and see the characters in my mind without having to actively engage my full attention. I leave the lid slightly open and put my earphones on and set the volume to barely audible.

I listen this way for about an hour and, tho I was able to remain passively aware.. I was no where near "body asleep". Around 4:00 my 16 yr old dog decided she wanted to go out and I left her and the other dogs out to relieve themselves.

I go back to the couch around 4:10 and lay on my back breathing deeply and trying to will my body asleep.

After what seemed like forever, I decided to roll on my side. Tho part of me wanted to simply give up and just fall asleep.. I determined that I had spent TOO much time trying to WILD to just give up and that it would kill me if I just fell asleep after all this time.

I continued to breath deeply, repeating affirmations every so often until suddenly I saw my mom and dad asleep on my living room floor!

I had felt no shift, no vibrations.. just this scene appearing before me.

Now my parents live in another state and are both 79 years old so I knew instantly that I was dreaming as there is no way they'd be laying on my living room floor!

I stand up from the couch and begin to walk towards them when my mom flops over and asks me if I have to make so much noise?!

I reply, "What noise?.. breathing?.. cuz that's all I'm doing?"

She whirls at me and hisses, "YES!"

I turn my attention away from her and notice a small white dog on the floor. As I get closer to the dog, I realize that its my Bichon Bailey that passed away. I kneel down and cup her face in my hands. I look closely at her soft white fur and I can see every strand. I continue to look at her hoping to make my vision even more vivid.

When the dream didn't become any more vivid, I decide to try to spin as I've heard that this works well for others. I do a "dancer's" spin where you fix your eyes on a certain spot on the wall, spin your body while keeping your eyes on that spot as long as possible and then at the last minute snap your head around.

I did the spin at least four times when it dawns on me that my "head" isn't spinning at all.. that only my body is! This knowledge startles me and I stop spinning only to find that, happily, I'm not dizzy but nothing about the room has changed at all.

I go outside and see that for the first time my outside dream environment has a thin layer of snow on the ground. The snow glistens softly and I feel and hear it crunch under my feet as I walk.

People are outside their homes and I get the feeling that this is a festive neighborhood gathering.. like a christmas block party or some similar occasion.

I walk past one group of young adults and I hear them talking about a fountain and how great it will be. One of the guys says that he doesn't remember seeing a fountain and the others laugh and reply that's because he hasn't built it yet and give him a push towards where I'm assuming the fountain is to be.

I realize now that I have no plan, goal or task for this lucid which is almost always a big mistake for me as I invariably waste the dream doing something sexual.

I walk past another group of people and lightly touch a man's arm as I walk by knowing that he will have no choice but to follow me. I head for a small building which looks like a picnic/rest stop bathroom.

I go inside and hold the door upon for my "date". There are holes in the roof and water is steadily trickling down from the ceiling (probably due to the melting snow). We do what we've come there to do and, after I come, my dog starts to bark in real life and I wake up from the dream.

I look at my watch and it is 6:05 am (which means that I had been awake from 3:00 am to approximately 5:45 or so).
.

I'm going to trick you into thinking you dreamt about me. *Fakes louds of entrys*

I have been experimenting with spinning the last year as well. I haven't decided if it does anything for me yet. But I am going to keep playing with it, until I decide that it doesn't do anything. In my last Lucid, I got so dizzy when I spun, that I stumbled into a wall, and almost fell down.

It was funny that only your body was spinning, and not your head. That must have been pretty strange to experience.

I know what you mean by wasting the dream on sexual stuff. when ever I give in to that, I wake up disappointed with myself. I have to work so hard to get Lucid, then I throw it away doing that. But sometimes, it's just to hard to resist the urge.

LOL!! Caradon, I knew something was off cuz I normally can't spin (even when dancing) more than three revolutions without getting off balance and I was just twirling away!

I always kick myself when I "give in" to sex as I know in all likelihood that it's going to end the LD but, like you said, sometimes even the "astral" flesh is weak.
.

This morning's dream:

I'm at work (?) and receive a call. I answer the phone and it's a women who's a tad upset as her contract has not been processed correctly.

I ask if I can put her "on hold" while I do some research and she agrees. I put her on hold and ask one of my co-workers what is up with her contract. All he can tell me is that there are "issues" with it.

I pick up the phone, click the lady back on and tell here that I would need more time to look into it and that I would give her a call back.

She states that she want to hold. I tell her that I don't know how long I'll be and she INSISTS that she's willing to wait "on hold" for as long as it takes as she had a client waiting for the answer.

I put her back "on hold" and immediately get distracted when another problem call comes in.

The NEXT MORNING I come into work to find that the light on my phone is STILL BLINKING!!

I start to freak out as I realize that she has been "on hold" ALL NIGHT!!

I plead with my co-workers for anyone else to pick up my phone and talk to her but no one will.

I finally get up the nerve to pick up my phone and she is still there! I apologize all over myself (especially since her contract is no closer to being right than it was yesterday).

Suprisingly she is very understanding and I get her contract processed and the dream then fragments off into other unrelated dream snippets.

I hope that lady had something to do while sitting on the phone so long.
I can't imagine sitting on hold all night long!

Hey, got to dream #10 so far, makes for good lunchtime reading. When on holiday I had multiple LDs split with FA's and by the last one I got bored with Lucid dreaming (don't ask me why) but I couldn't wake up. Then I saw a girl and thought "Ah ha! I know how to wake up "

Needless to say I did

Enjoying reading them so far, and looking forward to readin the rest. Seem's strange reading about 'naughty' things in your DJ

Haha, maybe this thread should be rated 18+ lol.

You got some great dreams Clairity, though some of them are rather adult like Adam said, meh, doesn't bother me at all, i just chuckle

Wow Clairity! I didn’t read all of them yet, but we had a rainy day yesterday so I got a start on it—I’m really glad you posted this, because reading what you’ve done really is an inspiration. I wanted to tell ya’ that after reading some yesterday it spurred me to do a reality check as soon as I woke up, and sure enough it was an FA—I even got to try “rolling out” of my body, which was really cool! So I suppose this is just a “thank you,” and congrats on the dreams.

WOW.. I didn't think they were that "adult" at all! I mean I tried not to go into graphic details.

Aww thanks Kylie! I'm glad you're enjoying them and I'm REALLY glad for your FA!

Way to go!

Wow,
believe me I was surprised to see all the dreams typed up so fast. I actually have a just a few more I need to read and all of those dreams will be packed inside this head I got. It’s very interesting, and on the plus side I feel like I know you a lot better then I did before.
Yep I have been using some of you’re techniques, and I have seen progress! Thank god!
Of course I’m still tagging along!! (no doubt)

Hey Clairity, have finished them all now, couldn't wait for my lunch time tomorrow lol. Can I ask, does your other half read your dreams or do you keep them secret, and for us of course?

Actually Necco, I had them online in a journal on my desktop.. so I all had to do was basically just cut and paste (with occasional formatting).

I'm glad you feel you know me better.. see, I'm not so scary after all!

Nope. When I first started LDing, I would tell him about my dreams. I would tell him that I could do anything or be anyone, etc. trying to get him as excited as I was about LDing and maybe even get him to try to LD himself and his eyes would just kinda "glaze" over (which pretty much told me that he couldn't care less). This being said.. the following is from an earlier DV posting and it still rings true:

My husband.. (bless his heart).. looks at lucid dreaming as my "little hobby" . He really doesn't remember his dreams (unless they're nightmares) and he doesn't really get the whole lucidity thing. Now.. this being said.. he loves me enough not to criticize me or belittle what I do. He doesn't blink an eye when I get up at 3:30 a.m. and go to the living room couch to try the wbtb method. He even asks me occasionally if I'm going to "try dreaming" tonight.

I have a whole bookcase of CDs, cassettes, dvds and books on lucid dreaming, astral projection and oobes and he's fine with it all.

One day he came home from work with a t-shirt that said "Believe In Your Dreams" and I actually broke down and cried. It just meant so much that, even though he doesn't participate, he recognized how important this is to me. Yep.. he's a keeper!

Lucid dreaming is something I do strictly for me. I share parts of what I've experienced here on this forum but there are other things I will never share with any other living being.. either because they're too personal, simply too hard to put into words or I don't feel like defending/debating them (oobes, astral projections, etc.)

I remember you saying some of this, although dont remember the tshirt thing, and I remember you saying about your son saying happy lucid dreams in a text? Thats awesome

I told my ex about it and she though I was weird, mainly bacause of the amount of pre-cog dreams I would tell her about to prove they come true, from then on she didn't want to hear about my dreams

I went out to the couch around 2:40 am..I tried to WILD but just fell asleep. I woke up at 8:30 am, went to the bathroom and then got back in bed.

I lay on my back and for some reason thought about laying in a blanket next to someone for their bodywarmth and being comforted. I "woke", "opened my eyes" and saw "grainily" the blankets up around my eyes. I tried to roll out by bending at the waist and ended up facing the end of the bed with my feet at the head. I felt someone's fingers and I pushed at them. I thought that I had woken up so I peeked and again I saw the grainy blanket.. so once more I rolled forward. I decided I needed help so I called for my spirit guide and felt his/her fingers but still was not pulled free.

This happened about 4 times and, on the fifth time, in frustration I yell "I want to see!!!"

Suddenly, the blackness broke into hundreds of kaleidoscope shapes. I kept thinking "I want to see!" and finally light burst thru the shapes and I find myself on the street of a town I don't recognize.

I see two horses coming towards me and once they get closer I realize that they are centaurs.. half man.. half horse. There is a pic below for those who have never heard of "centaurs":

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

They're features appear Asian and I notice that these centaurs have no arms. The young male was handsome and had short dark shoulder length hair. He was smiling at me but the other (who I guess was his girlfriend/mate) was not happy I was there.

She kept saying, "David come on.. David you promised."

I walk up to David, hop on his back and ride further into the town. I slide off his back and he gallops across the street and goes into a house. I yell for him but the dream starts to fade.. I yell "LUCIDITY NOW!" but I was still losing it.

I run across the street and enter the house but was stopped by his parents! As I am arguing with them, the LD ends.

My Comments: Ok, at the time it seemed perfectly natural that two centaurs would be in a town, that the male's name would be David and that he would live in a house with his overprotective parents! Go figure!

Its not really amazing you returned to the same place. You wanted to go there in your mind, and so you did. On another note, do you actually think your soul is going outside of your body...? (And your not just dreaming that is)

Hey, I just finished reading your dreams. there pretty inspiring. I had a similar experience as you, falling through blackness to a knew dream scene. It's post #25 in my journal.

I hope you keep posting dreams here, for us to read, Lucid or not.

I like the centaur picture.

TheTimeKeep, who really knows.. it all boils down to what you personally believe (and I learned long ago not to debate such things on this forum).
