Let me start off by saying that I don't expect people to read this journal and be completely in awe with my dreams. They really aren't anything special, at all. ;]
I started getting into lucid dreaming last year when my theatre teacher brought it up in class. He then had us write down all of our dreams in hopes we would make some amazing progress with dream recall. I kinda thought it was silly and I just wanted to experiment with LDs. Well, he kinda scared me out of it for a year and change... Until now ;]
I recently had spinal surgery (ouch!) and I've had a ton of time on my hands. So, with that extra time, why not surf the net! Stumbled upon a thread on livejournal explaining that someone knew how to control her dreams. I instantly remembered that I had wanted to try that. I asked her for some information and she directed me here! ;]
I spent hours on this website learning new techniques and reading other people's lucid dreams.
First night of sleep was fruitless. I think I had one dream (that I'll record in a bit)
But the second night... First LD ever! Freakin' fantastic, let me tell you! ;] I spent the whole day telling everyone I could about my dream and what I did in it and what not.
Unfortunately, I think I scared myself and that night I didn't even want to go to bed because I was frightened to LD! Hahahah! Oh, gosh. I didn't even have a dream that night, so I felt better!
Anyway, I'm going to start up this journal in hopes that I can remember my dreams more vividly and will help me out in the long run with LD.
For future reference:
Regular text is for just dreams ;]
Red for lucidity!

Although I was so pumped about LDing, it didn't work out so well. I had a quick dream that I spoke to someone or I had received an e-mail from one of my top colleges, DeSales, informing me that I had to wait until the second week of January to receive a letter stating whether or not I was accepted or not. I remember feeling a sense of defeat because it was going to take such a long time! We'll see if I get my acceptance letter then! ;] ;]
Night of December 16, 2007:
First LUCID! Yee haw!
I'll write it all out again instead of hunting down my original post!
The dream began and I was in this old mansion on a huge property that had a church attached onto it. I was just wandering around trying to get a feel for the place. It had an creepy feel to it. I didn't really enjoy it.
I walk behind the old church and I see this young boy digging a huge hole into the ground as if he were trying to get into the basement of this church. I kept walking because it was strange that this child was digging this ditch near the church. I then heard the priest run outside and yell at the child. Yanked him inside the church and demanded that his guardian reprimand him for what he did. The priest then starts to break out into this song about how the property and the mansion are haunted and the ghosts come out all the time. It was this scary song. Next thing I know, all these people with black and white sheets start coming out of the woodwork singing and dancing. Not like a Broadway show-tune, but just some creepy thing.
It dawned on me that they were filming a movie and the ghosts were just actors and actresses! ...I didn't care, though! I was still frightened as hell by them and I started to dodge around the outside and the mansion hoping that they wouldn't see me!
Haha! As I'm running around, the last line of the song came up and everyone sang it. It was directed at me. "And she ruuuuuns up the staiiiiiiiirs!" So, I naturally ran for the stairs, but there were too many ghosts there, and I completely missed the stairs. But as I missed it, I just stopped dead in my tracks and I said out loud, "....Wait, I'm dreaming." All the ghosts stopped short, looked at me, and smiled. It was as if we were all friends. The next thing I said was, "How the heck am I going to wake up?!" But then I figured that it didn't even matter and I should just live it up while I could. I tried to think of some place that I could go to instead of this mansion. I thought of my school! School! School! Nothin'. I think maybe I was just really impatient or I didn't want to get knocked out of the dream. I turned around and I was in the mall all of a sudden! "Well, I guess this will have to do!" I decided that I wanted to jog around. One of the ghosts that was standing near me took off her sheet and started to jog with me, but she just kept staring at me and smiling. I wasn't creeped out or anything by that, though. As we were jogging, this random guy just walked out and gave me this evil kind of look. He started to walk in front of me and then I had decided that I was going to jog, but with every step I would bounce in the air. I was going super high. Once I got to a perfect angle, I SPAT right in his hair! Hahaha! I was like, "Shit. What about the consequences?! Oh, true. I'm dreaming. I AM DREAMING!" I then jogged off into a store and the ghost that was once there turned into my friend, Regina. Regina and I started bopping around the place and I told her that I was going to run as fast as I could. I started running, running, sprinting, sprinting! I could see a glass wall ahead of me and it was like an office because there was a guy on the phone in there and he was staring at me. I said, "I'm gonna go right through the glass!" Nope. Not even. Total face-plant up against the glass! No pain, though! I didn't even fall back! Regina just stood there and was laughing hysterically at me! Jerk. Got up and we started to jog around the store more and this guy in a white lab coat said, "And what would you like today?" I replied, "Give her a Macboooook!" With that, all these Macbooks appeared! Everywhere! On the shelves and on the displays! It was neat! Heaven<3 I continued my jog and then I turned back to realize that Regina wasn't there anymore. I called out to her, "Regina! Come here!" Out of no where, she came right back into focus as if she were running from behind the bend! We jogged along and I started singing, "I'm dreaaaaaming! I'm dreeeeeeeaming!" Then I woke up =[
Literally popped out of my bed and said, "What the fuck?!" It was neat, none the less!
Can't wait to tell my teacher today! Hahahah!
Night of December 17, 2007:
Another quick dream that consisted of me going shopping for toys. I was standing there looking at all the selections with my cart and then this random woman just stole my cart and went to the front of the store! I followed her to the register and I started yelling that she took my shopping cart! I looked at her cart and it was filled with all of these food items... But I thought we were in Toys-R-Us?! She started retaliating and saying that I was being rude and what not. Whatever.
All I've had so far! I'll keep this up to date as much as possible! ;]
