      An earlier lucid dream

      Below is a lucid dream from 2005 that I thought I'd add to my DJ.

      I had just woken up this morning and was writing down my non-lucid dream. My husband was snoring softly but loud enough that it was starting to bother me.

      I gave him a slight push and told him "honey you're snoring" and he rolled over. I kept replaying the non-lucid dream over and over in my mind trying to gather more bits and pieces of it. I remembered what Seeker had said about always doing a reality check when you wake up because you could be dreaming.

      I told myself I should really do a RC but then I talked myself out of it because I just KNEW that I was awake! I actually DEBATED for a couple of minutes stating that if I did the nose pinch test that the movement would wake me up ( .. I know.. hey I was sleepy!).

      I finally told myself to just DO THE DAMN TEST and I pinched my nose. I could breathe but I still wasn't convinced I was asleep. I thought maybe I didn't pinch my nose closed good enough.. so I did it again and I could still breath.

      I now believe that I'm dreaming but I didn't feel the adrenaline rush that I normally get when I WILD and become lucid.. it was kind of matter of fact. I backed slowly off my bed wondering if I would wake up my husband but then I realized that my body really wasn't moving so that was a mute point. I can't recall if I passed thru the wall or just willed myself to appear on the other side of it but I found myself outside.

      It was still dark out and the air was crisp and there were stars in the sky. My level of lucidity wasn't really vivid (it just all appeared pretty normal) and I didn't bother trying to enhance it. I flew around for a while and then decided to swim (I have little recollection of these activities other than to know that I did them as they happened earlier in the dream and I have more memory of what happened after my second false awakening).

      I have come to the decision that QUALITY is better than QUANTITY when it comes to LDs. I always try to keep my LDs going as long as possible but this only serves to dilute my recollection of what happens earlier. I mean I ALWAYS remember the moment I become lucid and how I reacted and I always remember the LAST minutes of the dream but I lose alot of the details of the middle portions if the dream goes on for too long.

      Does anyone else notice this about their LDs? From now on when I experience something that I want to remember I am going to end the dream (no matter how short it may be) and write down the details.

      Ok.. I thought I'd woken up but, just for "grins", I thought I'd pinch my nose and discovered I could still breathe! I find myself in a kitchen and hear women in the next room. They appear to be having a get-together of some kind (possibly brunch).

      I remember reading a post asking if you can smell things in a LD and I see that there is fruit on the table. I bypass the orange and the grapefruit and pick up a granny (green) apple.

      http://carnetdefemmes.blogs.mariecla..._20apple.2.jpg

      I lift it to my nose and take a deep breath.. it smells exactly as I expected it to (no more - no less). I take a bite and taste the tangy tartness of it and think to myself.. ok now I know and I can report my findings back to the forum.

      I then wondered if I could change my appearance from male to female and if my dream characters would notice.

      I walked up to a woman and she greets me. She turned away and I thought "I am now male". She turned back around and I could tell by the way she reacted that she now saw me as a man! We started talking to the other women in the room and the dream ended soon after that.

      That must have been an Adam's apple, since you changed into a man right after.

      I don't really find the length of my lucids affects my recall. I think that's more of a reflection of your mental and physical state. I think it just depends on your recall for that particular day.

      Something new that has just started happening this year. Is sometimes I don't remember becoming Lucid. I will already be fully Lucid in my first memory of the dream. even though I know I had been Lucid dreaming for a while. But generally I do remember My Lucids pretty vividly, from beginning to end. But, I did recently have a long one where I had a hard time recalling some stuff in the middle. That was the first time that ever happened to me.

      I think that kind of thing happens, when I get Lucid in the early dreams of the night. the first couple of hours is the hardest time to recall dreams after all.

      September Advanced Task of the Month

      I managed to complete the advanced task this morning! (Note: The pics below were the closest I could find to what I saw.)

      I got up and went to sleep on my living room couch about 3:45 am to try to WILD.

      I had been there for about 30 minutes when I felt myself "swaying" slightly and the room kind of "warped" and I was lucid.

      I stood up and went outside. I found myself standing on the sidwalk of a large park. There were bushes of blue flowers on my right and I ran my hand over them as I passed to help ground myself in the dream.

      As I ran my hands over the flowers, some blue "dust" came off on my fingers and suddenly all the colors in my dream intensified.

      I saw a large reflecting pool and realized that it was perfect place for me to attempt to create a water animal.

      I walked up to it and, once I was a few feet from the edge, raised both hands and "willed" the water to rise. A "tube" of water about 4 foot wide slowly rose from the pool and, once it was about 7 foot high.. I silently commanded "become a horse".

      Pieces of water started to fall away from the top of the tube and I saw the top of the horses head start to take shape. The head, once formed, began to shake furiously and the rest of the water was literally thrown off until only the rest of the horse's body remained.

      http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...42c2f72461.jpg

      While my arms were raised the horse bucked and pranced in place in the pool.. but when I lowered my hands.. the horse immediately dissolved and dropped back into the water.

      Satisfied that I completed the task, I woke myself up to write it all down and then allowed myself to drift off into a non-lucid dream.

      That was really cool Clairity! I really love this water Task. I plan to keep playing with it. Also, a great way to summon things if you can get good at forming anything out of water.

      Oh my gosh. Just pictured a water-horse shaking its mane.. how cool!! Would have been even better to ride it.

      How do you wake yourself up, Clairity? Do you just will yourself awake or do you blink or... ?

      Thanks.. I was surprised at how easy it was. I just thought it (without hesitation or doubt) and it happened

      Riding it never crossed my mind (tho I doubt it would have held me just being water).

      As for "waking myself up".. I just decide that it's time for the dream to end and it does. I don't remember blinking.. I just open my eyes.

      LOL!! I'm good.. but I'm not THAT good!!

      I searched the internet until I found a pic that most closely resembled the horse I created.

      My dream of "Michael"

      There is a miniature man who has no spine.

      He is laying on his back with his body in liquid up past his nose. The liquid looks like yellow laundry detergent.

      He can't move as he has no backbone.

      Someone strokes his chest and he breaths thru the liquid (I can't recall if he is uncomfortable breathing this way but I think he is).

      The man's inventor says, "You're never any trouble are you Michael?"

      Michael replies, "No sir."

      Now that dream of Michael was a creepy one! Sounded like some weird science fiction movie.

      More than creepy, that dream was disturbing. The no backbone was interesting. If it were my dream, I might think I need to stand up for myself more.

      I could have sworn I already came in here and congratulated you on the task, Clairity.

      Congrats!

      ...And that Michael dream was kinda freaky. Heh.

      But dream water can hold anything!

      Good job on the task. I did the water task about two nights ago and can't wait to try it again.

      Well CRAP.. after trying to WILD, I managed to get lucid, I found O but had too many "WTF" moments and got distracted from my main objective of dancing salsa with him. Below are the details of my lucid:

      I woke up around 3:30, let my dogs out and went back to bed. I'd been laying there a little over an hour when I felt the first shift, I waited and felt myself "warp" and I was lucid. I pulled off the covers and headed for the door. I had almost reached it when I thought for a second that maybe I wasn't dreaming. I plugged my nose and I could breathe but it was like I had a really bad cold.. kinda congested (WTF #1). So I decided to try it again and found I could breathe really well. Soo, now fully convinced I was lucid I opened the door.

      I went through the door which opened into a large lobby. There were clusters of people in groups of 5 and 6 standing around talking. There was no music but I remember thinking there's enough people here to have one great time hugging each other (see "Do you need a hug" thread).

      I walked through the lobby asking each cluster if O was there and each one group just looked at me like I was nuts. I was more than halfway through the lobby when I decided, screw this, and just yelled out, "Is O here?!"

      I look around the lobby and see a hand raise into the air. I look over and see O. We walk towards each other and he looks just like this pic but is dressed casually in dark slacks and a white short sleeved shirt.




      I am grinning from ear to ear and I ask him, "Do you know who I am?"
      He says, "yes" but I'm not sure he does.
      I then ask him, "What's my name?"

      I notice a chalkboard on the wall and walk over to it saying, "If you can tell me my name, I have a surprise for you." (WTF #2)

      He grins and replies, "It's something short like a minister's wife's name." (WTF #3)

      I bust out laughing and pick up a piece of chalk. I try to write my name but the chalk seems "wet" and it won't leave any mark on the board. Instead of letting this go.. I am now obsessed by this freakin' piece of chalk. (WTF #4) I keep trying to write but nothing happens. O sees another piece of chalk and hands it to me.

      I start to write Clairity but only get as far as "Clair" when the dream starts to fade (WTF #5) and then ends.

      I grab my pad and write down the details only to REALLY wake up maybe 10 minutes later realizing that I had been in a false awakening and hadn't written down ANYTHING!! (WTF #6)!!

      Ok.. As grateful as I am for the lucid and for finding O, I am disappointed with myself for not completing my goal of dancing with him.

      Well, there's always Sun morning.. so try try again!

      Oh and, O .. you were looking mighty fine!

      Is it Rumplestiltskin? What do I win? Funny how you identify with your DV name in dreaming.

      LOL!.. No and you lose!

      That's because I'm known as Clairity in the astral/dream world as well as on Dream Views.
