Thread: Caradon's Lucid Dreams

It's easy to do. Practice makes perfect? It's a slow process, isn't it?

I just noticed you left a comment here.
Yeah, it is. And I haven't had a lot of false awakenings lately to practice with. So they catch me by surprise. Though I do always try to remember to do reality checks first thing when I wake up.


Twice Lucid in my nap!
I can hardly remember them though. so not going to officially count these either.

Lucid # 1
I'm not sure I was 100% Lucid in this one. But I remember it more clearly.
I was with a DV member. Not sure who it was supposed to be. Or not sure of the surrounding events. But, we are in an outdoor location when I become Lucid somehow. I'm not even sure what triggered it. But, I decide I want to show the DV member I'm with, how I do my free falling. So I fly up into the sky, and begin a backwards end over end freefall. Once back to the ground, I land on my feet with a smile. That's all I can remember about it.

Lucid # 2 A WILD within In a dream.
This one is really strange, and I lost most of it. But I forced myself into Lucidity from a non Lucid dream.

Again I'm not sure what was going on. But I had Lucid dreaming on my mind.

Not quite sure how to describe this, but without laying down, or closing my eyes, I started focusing my mind in a specific way. I could distinctly feel this mental shift. And I stepped right into a completely new dream scene fully Lucid. I can't hardly remember what happened during the Lucid part. But after waking, I layed there for quite a while trying to pull the dream back. All I was able to get were a few flying images. And there were some powerlines. I was flying for a while and having quite a good time, I know that. I can remember the part where I started to lose the dream.The dream faded, and I found myself standing in the original dream no longer Lucid.

Lucid nap fragment
I'm on the roof of a tall skyscraper building. I'm thinking I'm spider-man. I know I'm at least some what Lucid. Because I distinctly remember being aware that I was just pretending to be spider-man, in my dream.. But I don't think I was fully Lucid.
I look out across this endless sea of big city buildings. And the feeling I get when I know I'm about to go swinging across the city on my web, is just magical. I leap from the roof top, and as I begin falling, I attempt to fire a web out of my hand. But only a short burst of web comes out, and falls uselessly. I then try again. This time I successfully shoot a thick string of web into the nearest building. But it doesn't stick! lol. It just hits the building and falls off. That's all I remember, I think I woke up there.

Yesterdays WILD
For the first time, I had one of those fake leaving the body WILDs it was so cool.

I'm laying on my back on my bed, with my eyes closed. When the scene fades into view. the scene is me laying on my back, on my bed. My dog is next to me, and I know I'm dreaming this. I'm so close to the waking state though, that I can feel my real body on the bed. So the body I'm dreaming that I'm in, feels like my real body. I lift up my arms, and they come right out of my body. I can still see the arms of my body laying at my sides on the bed, but I'm waving my dream arms around in front of me in fascination. Then I think, maybe I can completely climb out of my body. So I try to sit up. And it works! I sit up right out of my body, I can still see myself laying on the bed. Thinking, I'm about to get up and walk into a Lucid Dream. I get over excited at this point and wake up.

The whole time, I was very aware that I was just WILDING. And not having an actual out of body. But it was a really cool experience anyway. I hope I can do that again. I hear of that happening to people. But that's the first time it happened to me.

Last night after getting off the computer I started practicing my juggling again. I only intended to do it for a few minutes, but I was really getting into it. So I ended up staying up to late. Another three hour or less night. But I got Lucid. It's nothing much to read about though. But I had fun.

Lucid Dream # 13 of 2008
Spontaneous Lucidity

I just remember being at home, When I suddenly realize I'm dreaming. There isn't a lot to tell, I levitate into the air, and fly around the house a little bit. Float up near the ceiling and slide a hand along it. I spend a couple of minutes or so levitating around the house, when I have a false awakening. That's all I really remember. Though there wasn't much to write about, it was good enough to count.

Oh sorry, I didn't see this post before. I just noticed it. Interesting dreams.

Well, I would prefer you didn't post them in this one. Because I'm trying to make this journal just for my Lucid Dreams. So that I have an easier time going back and finding them later.

I don't mind if you post some in my other journal though.

you may want to start your own as well.

Lucid Dream # 14 of 2008
Malfunctioning device dreamsign noticed
Reality check induced Lucidity
Basic Lucid task attempted

I'm driving my car, on my way to work. It's early morning, and the sun isn't up yet. I notice That my headlights are not on. I push on the headlight switch but nothing happens.(I've had some real life issues with my headlights going out on me. But I recently got it fixed.) I smack it hard. still nothing more than a flicker. I try the high beam lever, still nothing. I decide to pull over before I get pulled over by a cop. I get out of the car, and look at the front headlights, while reaching into the car and messing with the switch. (I must have extra long arms now in order to do that lol.) I get the headlights to flicker, and then they come on. But they are really dim, like a flashlight with low batteries. And they give off no light at all.

I now remember a recent dream I had, where I had the same type of dim headlights occur. So I pinch my nose, and I can breath. Instantly Lucid.the first thing I experience is relief that my headlights are not really messed up again. Second, is the joy of being Lucid again. Third, is the comprehension that I no longer need to continue on my way to work. I notice that I'm wearing a heavy jacket. I don't feel like wearing it in my dream, so I take it off and drop it on the ground.

The weather is kind of nasty though. It's rainy, and I actually feel cold without my jacket on. I think about putting the jacket back on. But defiantly, I refuse to let the dream control me in that way. I know I don't have to feel cold if I don't want to.
As soon as I stop thinking about it, I don't notice the cold anymore.

I walk out into the street, leap into the air, and begin to fly. I notice all the colorful traffic lights at different intersections along the road. I remember that there are many tasks that I have planned. I try to think of what the first priority was. Then I remember, prove I'm indestructible. So I land, and the first thing that comes to mind, is to let a car run me over. Should be easy enough to find moving vehicles in a dream right?

Not this time, the city is lifeless! Nothing is moving but the occasional changing traffic lights. All the windows in the houses are dark. So I decide, that maybe if I invade one of these houses, I will wake up and piss off some DC's, and they will try to kill me or something. And I will let them try.

I run across the nearest yard, and leap into the air. Diving headfirst with my hands out in front of me like a diver, into the nearest window of the house. My hands penetrate the glass, and I can feel the glass smoothly slide along my body, as I pass flawlessly through it.

I find myself on like a three season porch. Still no people, or nothing going on here.
So I decide to go through the wall, into the next room. I put my hands together, palms facing outwards. Then push my hands into the wall. They sink right in. Then I pull my hands apart, tearing a huge hole in the wall. But, I have not dug all the way through. I begin repeating the process, trying to dig a tunnel through the wall.( Didn't even consider trying to use the door lol.)

Before I can get through the wall though, I wake up.

So, no completed task this time. It was a fun try though.

Lucid Dream # 15 of 2008
Best dreamsign noticed.

The first thing I remember, is going into some convenient store. I buy a power-ball ticket. As I go to leave the store. there are people everywhere. Every time I move in any direction, there is somebody in the way that I run into. I get a bit frustrated, and I pretty much bounce off a few people. But I finally make my way out of the store.

My car is parked along the side of the road. I get in and look to see if there are any cars coming before pulling out. But my car sits pretty low, and I can't see past another parked car. I just decide to chance it a and pull out. Luckily there was no cars coming.(I was in the exact same situation for real today. but I didn't pull out blindly lol.
I found a safer way.)

I drive down the road a bit, then make a left turn. The road is all weird now, all sorts of dips in the road, small hills. A craziness comes over me, and I put the peddle to the floor. I hit one of the dips at speed and catch some air. I smoothly land down the face of another dip in the road, then there is a small hill before me. I punch it again, and catch a little more air. I'm suddenly not in a car any more, but on like a sled or something. I become Lucid, and think "Woo hoo, this is a dream! I fly down the road a bit, then I start to wonder why I think it's a dream just because I hit a jump lol. I remember to do a reality check at this point. I pinch my nose, and I can breath.
But just after I do that, the dream fades and I wake up.

A WILD
Tuesday/March/11/2008
Lucid dream # 16 of 2008


I was focusing on listening for sounds, when I start to hear some very dramatic classical music. I can hear all the instruments clearly. As I listen to it, This image appears. The image looks like a carrot, only curved in a half circle. The carrot is moving in a circle like a rotating wheel. After a moment of watching that, I enter a scene where I'm laying on the ground looking up the side of a tall building, and into the sky. The image fades, and I'm back to the waking state.

But I don't move, and I keep focusing. It only takes a second before I start hearing the classical music again. Only this time it sounds different. As I listen to the music, I begin to hear the sound of some beast growling, I'm trying to think of where I heard that before. And I'm thinking it's from the Saber tooth Tiger, from Ten Thousand BC,
Which I watched yesterday. I can hear the growling/roaring the whole time I'm contemplating what it could be.

Once I decide what it is, I begin to see the tall grass from one of the scenes in the movie, And I see the face of the Saber tooth looking at me over the top of this thick fallen log. As I look into it's face, it opens it's massive jaws, and lets out a loud roar.
I have now fully entered the scene, and I decide to use TK to push The Saber tooth away from me.

As I do so, the scene shifts a little, and we are on the edge of this tall rocky cliff. It's a little dark out, but not overly so. I have this magical talisman in my hand, and it's glowing with a soft blue light. I'm using this talisman, to channel my TK abilities. Even as I do it, I realize that I don't need the talisman. It just kind of naturally appeared in my hand. But the dream has this really cool fantasy world feel to it now, and it's like I'm this all powerful wizard or something. So I just decide to keep using it for the fun of it. I even notice this wide sleeve hanging off my arm, like I'm wearing a wizards robe.

The Saber tooth is pushed over the side of the cliff and falling. It is falling hind end first, and it looks up into my eyes as it falls. It has an expression on it's face of wonder and awe of my power. It has changed form somewhat, it looks more like a man shaped lion now. Kind of like the lion from The Wizard of OZ, only realistic looking. Not just a guy in a costume lol. I feel bad about pushing it off the cliff, because I wasn't intending to kill it. It never did attack me or anything, it was just a little bit to close for comfort so I pushed it away.

I begin using TK to levitate the lion man to safety, when I suddenly start thinking about how cool this whole WILD is. And That's all it takes to make me wake up.

After writing this out and seeing how long an entry it is. I think I'm going to call this a success, and my first countable WILD It was definitely the coolest WILD I ever had.


I was also Lucid in my nap today, but all I remember is that there were vampires involved, I think I was fighting them.

Lucid Dream # 17 of 2008
Wake initiated Lucidity
I decided to count this one, because I was in it long enough to actually do something. And I was able to exert some control over the dream.


I hear a couple of indescribable sounds, Then the image of a person sewing the sleeve of a jacket appears. There is a person holding up their arm, and the sleeve of there jacket is torn down the length of it. Another person, is sewing the sleeve back together. I watch as the needle and thread is being pushed through the material. I watch this scene for a little bit, when things shift.

There is a blank spot for a second, where I'm not quite sure what happened. But the next thing I know, I'm in this place that I can only describe as being similar to an elevator shaft. There is a huge metal door that slides up and down like a garage door sort of. I'm standing at what must be the bottom of the shaft, and the bottom of the doorway is up on the wall a little bit, a little higher than my head. My hand has been crushed by the metal door. Because I had reached up there, and the door came crashing down on my hand.(I barely remember the door actually falling on my hand though.)

I briefly wonder if this could count as the task of the month. The door slides back up.
I'm not sure if it was because of something I did, or if it did it on it's own. I climb up out of the shaft, and into a corridor. My hand is crushed completely flat, and it actually hurts a little. I think it's strange that I can feel pain, even a little. I know that I don't have to feel pain if I don't want. So I will the pain to go away, and it does instantly.

I then send my awareness down the length of my arm, and into my hand. With the intent to heal myself. My hand blows up into it's normal shape, just as if I was blowing up a balloon. I then shake my hand a little, and begin walking down the corridor when I abruptly wake up.

A little excited about this one, it takes me a while to relax again. But then

I begin to hear some beautiful piano music. I listen to it until this scene appears, of an ocean along a tall rocky cliff. I watch the waves crash against the side of the cliff, as the piano music continues to play. That lasts for a short while before waking up again.

Lucid Dream # 18 of 2008
Not sure what to call this one
WILD/DILD combo

I woke up from my nap to pee, after about two hours. I was awake now, but decided to see if I could WILD a little, before getting up.

I WILD into some action scene, I'm Lucid, but not completely. I'm having a sword fight. with some people that are supposed to be royalty in some olden times setting. I'm not quite sure exactly what's going on. There are a lot of people rushing around, and I'm fighting for my life. this lasts for a little bit. Then, I think because of my expectations.The dream fades and I wake up. I lay there in bed thinking about this newest little WILD, when I do a random reality check. And I can breath! I'm like no way, it cant be! I pinch my nose and I can still breath. Knowing I must be dreaming, I'm still having a hard time comprehending it, because everything is so perfectly real. Excited, I pull the covers back and get up out of bed. I can see dog laying there sleeping. I walk over to the light-switch to see if it works. The first time I flip it, the light does not come on. But I flip it again, and the light comes on. OK it didn't work the first time, thats a sure dreamsign. I pinch my nose again, and I can still breath.

I walk over to another light-switch, and the same thing happens. It works on the second try. I walk upstairs and my sister is there, Sitting on the couch watching TV.
I decide To do another reality check. I get up on the couch and do a perfect back flip and land on my feet. I know I can't do that in real life. I still want to do another reality check though. I jump into the air, and catch myself with my mind, before I fall. I hover there in mid air, completely sure I'm dreaming now.

I tell my sister it's a dream. I stand right over her with my nose pinched, so she can clearly see it's pinched. And start breathing in and out really hard. And tell her to look I can breath through a pinched nose. She gets pissed off and tells me to get away from her, accusing me of blowing boogers on her lol. Then I abruptly wake up.

I'm pretty excited about this one. The most successful wild I ever had.

Lucid Dream # 19 of 2008
Reality check induced Lucidity
This is my 100th countable and recorded Lucid Dream since retraining.

This dream started out as a false awakening I think. The first thing I remember is being in the bathroom of a childhood home, when I do a random reality check. I pinch my nose and I can breath. Instantly Lucid, I walk out into the living room and turn the light on. The light comes on, on the first try. And I think about what Sara said last time I was turning on lights in my dream.

I then decide I'm going to do the basic task of the month.(Forgetting that I decided to quite doing Tasks.) I step outside and it's night again." I think, great not again!" I don't see any cars to get hit by at all. I start walking in the direction of a highway I know is near by. For some odd reason I start hitting my arms together crosswise, and it feels so real that I think I'm hitting my real arms together. And that it's going to wake me up. With that thought, the dream fades into a false awakening.

I wake up in the same childhood home as before, where I had just started from. I do another random reality check, and I can still breath. But this time I'm confused and I don't believe it. I walk back outside. I'm in the same spot as before. and I begin walking towards the same highway as before. I've done reality checks a couple more times by this time and I can still breath, but am ignoring it because I still don't believe it. I'm with a friend now. I'm not sure where he came from. I think, there is a little bit I forgot about. We are walking across the parking lot of a restaurant, that is there in real life. And I start doing more reality checks. (Pinching my nose.)

I say to my friend," That's odd, my nose keeps trying to tell me I'm dreaming." I think about how it normally feels when I pinch my nose when I'm awake, and no air gets through at all. I now start to suspect, that I may actually be dreaming still. Along the outside wall of the restaurant, are lights set at intervals. I say to my friend," hold on, I'm going over by the light where I can see better." I walk over to where the light is.
And as I do, I look around and think about how odd it will be if this really is a dream.
everything looks and feels exactly like real life to me.

Once I get to the light, I hold up my hand to it and begin trying to push my finger through the palm of my hand. At first nothing happens, so I push really hard. My finger begins sinking into my hand! "Holy crap, it is a dream!" I get excited and begin climbing the wall. I climb it easy, and get up on the roof. I see a couple of people walking below. I decide I want to freak them out by jumping from the roof.(It's a decent height.) I yell down to them, but they ignore me at first. After a bit I get their attention. I run across the roof and leap into the air. I start to glide gradually down. But just for fun, I decide to relax and let myself fall like a rock. I fall and hit the ground hard.

I then get up and walk in the direction of the highway, trying to hurry. I wonder if the cars will try and stop instead of running me over.(even though that's never happened before.) My friend keeps getting in my way, making it hard to get to the road. I push him out of the way, and just about to jump into traffic when I wake up for real.

Lucid Dream # 20 of 2008
Same night as above
Reality check induced Lucidity
The end of tasking

I'm with a bunch of friends in a house. One of them is an old friend of mine. A bunch of stuff was going on that I don't remember all that well. I don't remember why, but I bring up Lucid Dreaming to my old friend. He seems interested, and I tell him he can learn to do it. I demonstrate how to do a reality check, and I can breath. I'm like WTF, It can't be. I take my finger, and push it into the palm of my hand. And it sinks in.

Lucid, I push my finger into my hand as far as I can, then turn my hand over and look at the other side. My finger is pushed completely through. I say to my friend "Look that's so cool! I pushed my finger completely through my hand! I hold it up and wiggle my finger a little bit. he believes that it's a dream.

I then remember that I want to freak some of the other people in the room out. I say to one guy,"Look what I can do." I run up the side of the wall and kick off, doing a back flip through the air, and landing on my feet.

The guy looks really confused, and says "What the hell!" I then levitate up to the ceiling and begin crawling across it upside down. I crawl across the ceiling to where my friend is sitting, doing some paper work below. I hang upside down and say, "Dude, you can do anything you could ever want to do right now, Why would you want to sit there and do paper work!" he says, "I have to get this done and faxed to such and such a place."

I laugh and say, " it doesn't matter, your wasting your time. you can't bring anything back to the waking world with you anyway! Lets go outside and go flying or something. He says, "oh yeah, thanks for reminding me." He gets up, and I float down from the ceiling. We both walk outside, and it's raining and cold. I remember I don't need to feel cold if I don't want. And walk right into the rain.

The front yard slopes down a hill to the road. Across the road is some houses, and beyond that, I can see a lake shrouded in mist. On the road, at the bottom of the hill there is a car parked. I see a huge boulder nearby, pick it up an throw it off the hill.
The boulder crushes in the roof of the car. I laugh and say," oops somebody is going to be pissed!"

I tell my friend that I'm going to go flying over the lake. I leap off the hill, and fly over the road and between the houses on the other side. I go sliding across somebody's balcony. there is a table with dishes, and other stuff on it. I knock them all off the balcony. I fly along between the buildings. And there are no walls on the sides of them now, so that I can see all sorts of people inside. And some nice looking girls.

At this point I think of the Lucid task again. I remember that I'm done with tasking, and decide not to waste my time trying to do some task. A sense of freedom washes over me, that I have not felt in my Lucids for a long time. And I fly out towards the lake.
I try to get higher, but my dreaming skills have gotten rusty because of to much time wasted on tasks!

I struggle to get higher. I see some junk floating through the air. I use TK on it, and send it floating away. But just barely. I then try using TK on myself, and it works at first, I start to lift myself higher. But I lose control and begin to sink again. I decide I don't really want to fly out over the lake if I can't even fly well. So I land, and go walking up between the buildings.

There are tons of people and rooms on either side of me. It's kind of a strange scene, hard to describe. There are some very nice looking girls, and I'm walking along checking them out. Not feeling shy about staring at all. I look all I want. I decide I'm going to play with the girls a little bit. I walk by examining all of their arses. And when ever I see one I like, I use both hands, to reach out and give both cheeks a nice squeeze. then move on to the next one.

People are all looking at me like I've gone mad. I play around with them for some time, when I see my friend come walking along. He goes into one of the rooms and is talking to some of the people there. I follow him in, and I assume he has told them that I know I'm dreaming. I jump into the air, and am able to levitate to the ceiling. I crawl across the ceiling again. I look down at the people staring at me and ask, "Are you afraid? Do you know who I am?" And I begin laughing like a maniac and say," I'm Freddy Krueger!"

I jerk out my hand with fingers spread, trying to will blades to grow out of the ends of my finger tips. Blades slowly begin to grow out of them, but I lose control and they slide back in and disappear. I see a guy wearing a brown hat, and striped sweater. I leap down to him, and say, "give me those cloths, There is only one Freddy Krueger in this dream, and thats me!" I grab his hat and pull of his sweater and put them on myself. I begin laughing like a crazy man again, until I wake up.

Comments

This was the longest Lucid I had in a long time. And I know the reason for it was because of not stressing out over whether I'm going to have enough time to complete some task. I was able to just relax and enjoy it. The first order of business is going to be to re-hone my TK and flying skills. I was pretty annoyed that I had trouble with doing that. It's normally so easy for me.

Lucid Dream # 21 of 2008
Tornado dreamsign recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

I'm having one of those weird bathroom dreams. I leave the bathroom and walk to the buildings exit, intending to go home. I step outside, and it's cloudy. I begin hearing storm sirens.(Just like in my last tornado dream.) I look around, and I can see the tornado off in the distance. It's tearing through the city, and I can see smoke from random fires throughout the destruction. The tornado is sweeping back and forth, and heading my way. I think about trying to make it home, But it's now to close and I don't think I can make it.

I go back inside, there are many people there, that are aware of the tornado. The tornado has swept across the landscape and is somehow coming at us from the opposite direction from where I first saw it. I don't feel to safe in this building, I don't think it will hold up to a direct hit. I go and look out the back window, and I can see the tornado not more than about fifty feet away. and coming right at us. It looks like a black wall. I go into the other room, and I think that this is like a tornado dream, and I should do a reality check. It feels kind of strange as I reach up to pinch my nose. Because I don't think it's a dream at all this time, and I'm seconds from being hit by a tornado for real. But I take the time to do a reality check anyway. And I can breath!

I want to double make sure, so I push my finger into the palm of my hand really hard. It starts to sink in, and this time I turn my hand over and watch as my finger pokes through the top of my hand. It's pretty cool, the skin on the top of my hand begins to rise, and my finger pops through it. I push it all the way through as far as I can. I show my hand to a near by woman. I wiggle the finger sticking through, and all the fingers on the other hand as well. She looks surprised, and I pull my finger out of my hand.

I tell the crowd to watch out the window, because I'm going to go jump into the tornado. I walk out the front door, and around the back. To my surprise, the tornado has now transformed into this girl I work with, and She is wearing a black dress. She is the tornado personified. I'm clear minded enough to think about this in the dream, and it makes sense to me. I can see her as being a tornado. She is a forceful person, and quite full of wind as well. And has really gotten on my nerves over the last two weeks.

She starts to walk away, and I shout " Hey tornado! Get over here! I'm going to kick your ass!" She stops, and I walk over to her. I jump right into her, like I was planning to jump into the original tornado. At first I phase right through here, because she is nothing but wind. (just like in real life.)

I then grab her around the waist with one arm, and take off flying with her. Intending to get her away from the building, to save the people inside. As I do, I'm wondering if they can see her as the girl, or if they still see her as a tornado. I imagine that if they see her as the tornado still, I must look like superman taking the tornado away from them.

I fly up with her, high above the buildings and the nearest trees. I here the girl gasp in surprise, and I realize that it's because of the amazing view spreading out before us. I say, "yeah I know, isn't that awesome? Thats' why I love Lucid dreaming so much."

I now remember that I wanted to practice my TK. And I remember my last lucid where it failed me, and I had trouble flying. As soon as think about that, I get a really weird tingly sensation in my stomach, and I begin to sink back to the ground. I wake up before sinking all the way back down.

Comments
Thanks to reality checking, I'm two for two on the tornado dreamsign.
Time to start renting tornado shows!

Lucid Dream # 22 of 2008
Same night as the above Lucid

I go back to sleep, and I'm having a dream where I'm in school, and in a Lucid Dreaming class. I Think, that there were a lot of DV members there. I don't remember a lot about the beginning. The topic comes up about a universal hand signal to use if your in public, and you think you see somebody doing a reality check. The hand signal, is to check if the other person is into LDing. (There is a real thread on that here at DV)

Somebody asks me what my opinion about what the signal should be. I explain that we should already use the signal that was decided on in the DV thread. And I point my finger into the palm of my hand.

Not sure why, but while demonstrating this signal, I decide to push my finger into my hand. My finger pushes through, and I watch as the skin on the back of my hand bulges outward, and my finger pops through. Just like in the last dream. I show it to some guy sitting next to me, and say "hey, that looks just like when I do that in a dream!" I pull my finger out and push it in again. Then pull it out, and reach up to pinch my nose. And I can breath!

I'm sitting there for a moment breathing through a pinched nose. But I can only breath through the left nostril. I realize that the right one is probably plugged up in real life, so thats why it's only working through the left side. After a few moments of sitting there, I'm like,"well since this is a dream, I should get up and do something."

So I stand up from my chair, and try to do a hand stand. But gravity feels so realistic, that I can't do it any better than real life. I start to doubt if it really is a dream, so I push my finger through my hand again. "Yup, I'm dreaming." I walk out of the school, and the only thing on my mind at the moment is sex.

Outside, there is a group of people walking into the school. There are plenty of females so I start looking to pick one out. But now, every one I look at is way to young. And I think that maybe I've jinxed myself into only seeing children.

But after a bit more searching, I find someone suitable. I walk up to her and put one arm around her waist, then lift and carry her off to the side of the group, to have the longest and most enjoyable Lucid sex dream I ever had. Without waking up!

Censored

After we are finished, I listen to this conversation that two DC's are having. They are talking about some kind of business deal they are involved in. I think it's kind of funny that they are being so serious about business stuff, when it's just a dream. Then, Lo and behold. Here comes Mark, Walking out of the building!
He has dark hair, and sharp facial features.
I say to Mark."You know this is a dream don't you!" I see some other near by girl give me a funny look. She then looks at Mark and shakes her head, silently mouthing the words. "This isn't a dream." To me, it looks like Mark is taking her word for it instead of mine. I say " Mark,do a reality check! You will see!" He still looks like he doesn't believe me. So I push my finger through my hand again and show him. And I say, "pinch your nose and see if you can breath!" He pinches his nose, but doesn't say any thing. So I ask," well... can you breath!" "Yeah, I can breath mate." he replies.

But he doesn't seem to interested lol. and he just walks away going about his business.
I watch him go and I wake up.

I'm going to post this one here beacuse it's worth keeping track of.

Almost had my first Lucid of the month in my nap today. But I woke up before I was completely convinced. Talk about a realistic feeling dream!

Reality checking at the mall
It starts out I'm in the mountains. I'm driving my car up a trail. but my car is a convertible now. I'm driving along, thinking how cool it would be to see a mountain lion. Then my car doesn't want to work right. I give it gas but it wont go. It's like the transmission is out or something. I no longer think it would be cool for a mountain lion to come along.

My car becomes a bike. I see some girls with horses coming up the trail behind me. There is a trail that branches off from the one I'm on. And this one goes down the mountain. I take that trail. I start coasting down it it quite fast. I hear a sound behind me. I look back and see another guy on a bike. I try to go faster so he doesn't catch me, but the trail gets really muddy and curvy. It's a little bit scary going that fast because I think I'm going to slide into the trees.

The guy eventually passes me. Once at the bottom of the hill I check out his bike. He has this professional racing mountain bike. And I think, no wonder he was able to handle it so well down that trail.

From here there is a mall near by. I walk up to the mall and enter. It's a typical mall.
Shops all along the halls. I don't remember why, it may have been just random. But I pinch my nose and I can breath! Confused, I'm like no way this can't be a dream. I pinch my nose harder, and I can still breath." Oh my god, could this really be a dream?" I try to push my finger through my hand, but it feels exactly like real life and I stop.( In the past, I just kept pushing really hard until it went through. this time I gave up to soon) I'm about 85% sure that I'm dreaming. But I need to be absolutely sure.

I pinch my nose again,and I can still breath. I think about the last time I didn't want to believe my nose. And I think to myself, " well... my nose is trying to tell me I'm dreaming!" I look around and it just seems to damn real, for me to be completely sure.

I decide to try a hand stand. I remember how it failed last time, so I try harder this time. I'm able to do a hand stand, and I walk along upside down on my hands. People are pointing and laughing. I'm still not sure though, because this feels to real as well. I'm barely able to balance on my hands. And I feel very heavy. I'm barely able to hold myself up. Every second I'm on my hands, My muscles hurt more and more from the effort. And I have to set myself back down.

One thing experience has taught me though, is to not give up in this situation. Because most likely I am dreaming. I jump on an escalator going down. I notice I'm bare foot, and I'm a little bit worried about getting my skin pinched, in the escalator.

Once at the next level down, I see this really nice looking lady in a business dress.
I'm like, "Oh man I want her! If I was only absolutely sure I was dreaming right now...." I watch as she walks away. I look around and see quite a few other girls I would like to make an advance on. I'm just checking them all out, and trying to think of another way I could prove I'm dreaming, when I wake up.

Comments
So, I was sort of Lucid. But couldn't find absolute proof it was a dream. And didn't want to risk doing something stupid, without being perfectly sure. I almost feel like counting this as half a lucid I think if I would have had more time, I would have found my proof.

I had a couple of other short dreams last night. I'm not sure if I'll have the time to come back and post them though.

Two Lucid Dreams

Lucid Dream # 23 of 2008
Dreamsign unknown

I'm already Lucid at my first memory of this dream. I have no idea how I became Lucid.

I'm In a room of a house or something similar. I remember that I wanted to practice my Tk, so I start reaching out with my mind and levitating random household appliances. I have a few things floating around the room.

I focus on one object. ( for the life of me, I can't remember what it was now.) But, I try to levitate it up to a high ceiling. Though I'm having an easy time making things float around the room. Once I try to push this object high into the air, I start having trouble.
It's like there is a force preventing me from pushing it past a certain point.

I sit there struggling for a moment, and I realize that I'm just trying to hard to force it. So I relax, and let things smoothly flow. This works, and I'm now easily able to send the object speeding up to the ceiling. And I make it stick there.

Next, I have this whole pile of junk I levitate into the air in front of me. There are quite a few people in the room with me. I'm showing off, and I wave an arm over the pile of stuff, and then underneath it. Like I'm performing a magic act and showing them that there are no wires.

I then see this little boy. I reach out with my mind and begin levitating him off the floor. At the same time, I am able to use TK to control him. I make him take steps, so it looks as if he is walking up an invisible staircase. After a few moments of making him walk through the air, I wake up.

Short but sweet

I'm outside walking. It's winter and I wait a moment to cross an intersection. I cross, and once on the other side, I notice the ground is coated with ice. I begin skating on my feet really fast. I see this snow bank, and decide to use it as a jump. I hit it and soar high into the air. Instantly Lucid as I get airborne, I fly quite high then tuck into a ball and do back flips all the way back to the ground. I land on my feet and continue skating very fast, until I come to another snow bank. I decide to hit this one like a jump as well. I hit it and begin soaring into the air again, as I wake Up.

Then I nearly had a third Lucid as I fell right back to sleep fully Lucid, in this bar with a stage. But I was only there for a second before waking up again.

No reality check needed

I'm on a paved trail at the park. I'm moving fast on my feet as if skating. I'm not sure If I have roller-blades on or not. I'm going down a hill when I come to a pile of cut branches and logs. I'm not sure if I hit the pile or try to jump over it, but either way I end up soaring into the air. Instantly I'm Lucid.

I continue to fly higher, and as I do the surrounding landscape comes more fully into view. And I'm totally thrilled. The entire area is surrounded by tall steep rolling hills, covered in grass. Colored many different shades of greens and browns. It's the most amazing sight. There are a few people on the ground below, Of whom I believe to be forum members. One of which I'm thinking is Moonbeam. I yell down to them that this is a dream, And Moonbeam looks up and waves happily.

I now fly even higher, and Another amazing sight is revealed. Hidden between some hills is a lake with crystal clear water. There is a tree growing up from the center of the lake. And a circular wooden deck has been built around the trunk of the tree. The water is so clear that I can see to the bottom of the lake. I can see building's on the bottom, that look like houses. I remember that I want to do some underwater exploring, and I decide that I really want to dive into this lake and explore what looks like some underwater village. I make my way in that direction but I don't make it before waking up.

How come you have two lucid DJs?

Lucid Dream # 26 of 2008

No reality check needed

I'm on another trail and it's dark. I begin running down a dirt path, down a steep little cliff that branches off from the main trail I'm on. It gets steeper as I go, and I'm off balance and worried about running into trees. I'm not quite sure what happened, but I'm suddenly airborne again, and instantly Lucid. It's no longer dark and I fly out over an ocean of blue water. On the shore, at the bottom of the little cliff I was just running down, Is a small group of friends of mine. I yell to them,"this is a dream!" Strangely, they all begin clapping. It's as if they already know it's a dream, and are congratulating me on my realization of it.

On a whim, I land on the surface of the water and begin to walk across it. It's a flat calm ocean. I feel like I'm beginning to sink, so I will the ocean to become solid as if freezing up. I can't even describe how I do it, but it's the strangest feeling. Like the ocean is a part of me, and I can actually feel it, as I make the water slowly solidify into a hard solid, not quite like ice. The entire ocean has become so hard now, that I stomp on it, and it feels as solid as rock beneath my feet.

Thrilled that I was able to do that, I walk off onto shore and begin climbing the side of some building. I'm climbing and climbing, for what seems like forever. And I realize I've trapped myself into just climbing a never ending wall. because I'm just looking at the wall focusing on climbing.

So I look up, and just above is the top of the building. There is an overhang though. I grab onto the edge of the overhang, and swing out and hook my foot over the edge of it. So that I'm kind of hanging upside down. I can hear surprised comments from people below. I can see the ocean from this view, and I remember I want to go exploring underwater. And I have the opportunity to explore the ocean! I notice that it's still frozen solid though. But I figure since I made it solid, I can return it to a liquid state.

I let go of the overhang, and let myself fall to the ground. I hit the ground hard and lay there pretending to be hurt or dead. Somebody comes running over to help, and I jump up and say. " I'm OK, there isn't anything that can harm me."

I make my way over to the still solid ocean, and get on my hands and knees. I begin crawling across it. And again, I don't really know how to explain how I do it. But I force the ocean to become liquid. First one hand splashes into the water, then the entire ocean becomes liquid again, and I am submerged into it.

The water is warm, and I can hardly believe how good it feels flowing over my body. It feels so good, that I want to take my cloths off and swim through it naked.
I plan to do so, but I begin swimming farther out first. My foot touches the bottom, and I feel something. I lift my foot up out of the water, and there is this clam like shell fish clamped onto my big toe. I pry it off, and pull it open. There is a meaty tongue inside. And resting on the tongue is a silver pearl. I'm surprised and happy that I found a pearl. I remove it, and am examining my treasure when I wake up.

Well, this one is just to keep all my Lucid dreams together so that I can find them easy. the other one I post anything in.

I explain it better in my first post of this journal.

Thanks for checking it out!

A Lucid Dream

Lucid Dream # 27of 2008
Strange thought induced Lucidity
No reality check needed

I'm in some kind of transport vehicle as a prisoner. I've been captured along with a few others, to be put to work as a slave. There are vampires involved somehow. I don't remember much about the beginning of the dream. But I remember seeing a vampire It's dark, and there is enough room to stand in the vehicle. I'm standing against one of the walls, can't remember if I was chained or not. The is a large black scary looking spider crawling on the wall near me. I brush at it to knock it away.

Before long we make it to our destination. It's some kind of outdoor complex with some buildings, where they are bringing all the slaves to be held. There is a line of new slaves being checked in. And the group from the vehicle I'm in are being herded in that direction. I remember see this huge mutant looking creature. Like something from "The Hills Have Eyes." the whole dream has kind of a fantasy feel to it.

My recall of this part is a little sketchy, but I walk by some cave opening and there is a walking skeleton inside. the skeleton rushes at me and attacks, clawing at my face.
I'm able to over power it, and I destroy the thing. Breaking it into pieces, until it's nothing but a pile of lifeless bones. Now, the cave looks more like a huge pole barn, with a wide open door. Not sure why, but I have the feeling there are going to be zombies soon.

I walk into the pole barn like place. And the strangest thought randomly comes into my mind. I think to myself," I hope I get Lucid in this dream." I shake my head confused by the total contradiction of that thought. "What the hell did I just say?"
And I repeat it to myself. "I hope I get Lucid in this dream!" Then I'm like whoa! This is a dream! And I let Lucidity fully wash over me.

I look around, and I see this red three wheeler off to the side. And I look at it the detail of the thing in wonder. I look down at the ground, and I see small rocks and dirt scattered around on the floor. It feels just so damn real, but I'm completely sure it's a dream. I walk back outside, and the sky is tinged a strange reddish yellow color. Almost like a sunset, but not like any sunset I've ever seen. It has a kind of eire feel to it.

I remember that before I became Lucid, I thought there was going to be zombies. So I say to myself, " I'm going to go find me some zombies!" I turn right out of the pole barn, and begin walking. I have no idea where I got it from, but I now have a hand gun in my hand. It must have manifested itself in my hand, with the idea of going after zombies. ( I just realized this is like Pancaka's drawing of me, Strange.)

I think, "cool I'm going to try this gun." I squeeze the trigger, and it fires with a satisfyingly powerful kick, and smoke comes from the barrel. OK, Now I want to try shooting something. I see a parked yellow car, and I fire the gun at it. the bullet hits the car and ricochets back at me, hitting me in the chest. It doesn't really hurt, but I'm surprised, and yell "ouch" anyway. I try it three more times, and I only end up shooting myself three more times. (I guess I'm a slow learner.)

As I'm playing with the gun, a group of DC's has gathered around me. Not threatening, they just know I'm onto something and want in on what ever it is I'm up to. There is maybe about six of them. Some male, some female. I hand the useless gun to one of them, and continue on my walk. The DC's curiously follow.

We walk for a long time, and I have a lot of interaction with them during the walk. I start by telling them it's a dream, and doing a nose RC, and trying to get them to do one too. I can tell they just think I'm being silly. I say watch this, and I jump and dive into the air superman style. I let myself fall until I'm about a foot above the ground. Then Using TK, I stop myself and hover there on my stomach, arms and legs stretched out. It was a very Matrix feeling moment.

Then I get up, and I hear one of the female DC's ask, "You mean like last time you thought it was dream, and you tried to do a hand stand but couldn't?" A little annoyed by that comment, I decide to show her that I can do a hand stand. So I do.
I have perfect balance, and I walk upside down on my hands for a while, then set myself down.

I see this little silver sports car parked along side a road. I run at it and jump up onto it, doing a hand spring off the roof, then tucking into a ball, to continue a flip and landing on my feet on the ground. I can't remember everything else that was talked about. But I had a brief discussion with one of the ladies about the sexual freedom I have within the privacy of my own mind. Though I didn't try anything with her.

eventually, we come to this apartment building, And I enter it, With my DC friends still loyally following. I walk up a stairway and start opening doors along the hall.
At first, every door I open is a bathroom. And I comment to one of my DC friends about how strange I think that is. I eventually open A door that's an actual apartment.

There is a bed in the middle of the room, and I can see the shape of a body beneath the covers. I decide I'm going to mess with the person. Hoping it will be a nice looking scantily clad woman, I pull the covers off. To my dismay, it's a pot bellied man with a scraggly beard. He sits up surprised, and very pissed off. I see this remote for a TV or DVD player. I Think of the movie "Click" where the guy can control the world with a remote control. And I get this great idea.

I can tell the man in the bed is about to attack me. I pick up the remote, and point it at him and push a button. At the same time I say "stand up." He stands up, and I know I have him under my control. I push it again and say, "spin" The man gets this really angry expression on his face. But he is powerless to resist and he begins spinning where he stands. I then push it again and command him to jump. he begins jumping up and down on the bed.

My DC friends that were not impressed with my previous tricks. Are pretty surprised at this one. Done with amusing myself, I drop the remote and walk back out into the hall. I Open another door, and it's another apartment that looks the same. But there is some teenage boy sleeping there. he wakes up angry, but I ignore him. I hear one of My DC friends ask me to check something out. I look and one of them is going through a closet. I go over there, and there are a bunch of really nice T-shirts and sweat shirts with really cool artwork on them, hanging from hangers.
I grab a bunch of them, realizing that I wont be able to keep them. But I decide I don't care and walk out of the room with my new shirts. and I wake up.

Wow, you have heaps of lucid dreams. *is jealous*

Are there any specific techniques you favour in order to get your mind ready for a lucid?

Or is it mostly DILD?

Thanks for answering. Keep up the journal, it's great.

Hi Ethan, Thanks for checking out my Lucids. I appreciate the comment!

If your asking me if I'm a natural? No, I have to work very hard for them.

Basically what I do to induce Them, is I constantly pay attention to whether or not I'm dreaming, while awake. That way I'll end up thinking about it while I'm dreaming, and get Lucid. It's easier said than done though. It takes a lot of motivation for me to keep a single minded focus on one thought, for extended periods of time. Some days I do better than others.
