Yelizaveta's Dream Journal
I am new to this and have never lucid dreamed. I am starting a dream journal to improve my dream recall and find my dream signs. False Awakenings have been common for me when waking up to an alarm clock and needing to get to class. They get really vivid, but are surreal, like once i got up and started to put on a ball gown to go to physics class. But this always fails to make me lucid. These are the most realistic dreams I have...
anyways here is my dream journal:
December 31, 2007
I am in Charleston for some reason, driving my boat ( a 42 ft yacht that I have in real life) down the street. I don't have good control of it and keep veering off into someone's driveway, the same driveway each time, until an angry man in a red velvet robe comes out and yells at me, and i'm sent to a yacht driving training camp somewhere. it's basically a donut shaped bay, and i cruise in my boat around it in circles and keep trying to get out to the main body of water, but i'm not allowed. then a hole appears in the wall of the bay and i see an old school friend's little sister. She invites me to go on a whitewater body rafting ride with her, it's basically like a complex water slide with rapids that starts from the hole. My dream focuses on this for a while, it's really fun. Then I realize that this girl is actually my daughter and I also have a son named simon who i keep in a jar in my purse (and this seems completely normal) I realize this complex has a huge church and i decide i want to see it. so we take this path up to the church, which is really gorgeous inside and we are taken to the preacher. He is bedridden with some illness. When i see him I say 'don't bother standing up because I'm a woman" and he says 'it's ok, the fact that i can't move a lot makes me an excellent model" then he preens. Then I leave the church and I don't remember any more..also all he floors in the church had different colored lines on them drawing paths to different places in the church. it was really convenient.
I also remember a dream fragment where I'm riding the biggest indoor roller coaster in the world with my old high school roommate, which is located in some sort of bookstore/ weird fair. Then roommate's mom's car overheats while sitting (w/ engine off) in the parking lot so we have to leave.
p.s. this is the most vividly i've recalled a dream in a while. I think saying to myself firmly before falling asleep that I must remember my dreams helped a lot.
and one more thing...i have the funniest feeling that during the night i dreamt that I had experienced lucid dreaming, but dont remember it now...so i think i actually didnt lucid dream at all, ironic, huh?
