Thread: Caradon's Lucid Dreams

After messing up my dreaming and having the worst dry spell I've had in a long time, thing's are slowly starting to get better.

No reality check needed

I fell asleep before I could make a note on this one, and I almost completely forgot about it. But it came back to me as I was getting ready for work. It was an early night dream.

I'm driving down a road, in, or on, some vehicle. I don't remember if it was a car, motorcycle or what. But I go over the top of a big hill, and end up flying off the hill and high into the air. Lucidity slowly washes over me. I don't stay in it for very long. Just long enough to be happy about finally getting Lucid again. And to enjoy the view for a few moments. It's a little dark, and I'm high above some city scape. I can see lots of of lights, from buildings, street lights, and cars. I just enjoy it for a moment, then wake up.

I actually wasn't planning on counting this one. But when I got Lucid in my nap after work too, I decided to count both of them.

Lucid Dream # 7 of 2009
Lucidity trigger unknown

This one was really weird, and pretty much impossible to describe some of it. but it lasted longer than the other one. definitely countable.

I'm in a room. I don't remember much about the room. There was more than one person in the room with me. I know that one of the people is my sister. I become aware that I'm dreaming, I have no idea why, or even the exact point in which I became Lucid. I jump into the air, flipping around, and landing on my feet on the ceiling. I walk around upside down on the ceiling a little bit when things get really odd.
There is a DC in the room who is aware it's a dream, and seems to know things. He starts talking to me about dimensional travel. Unfortunately, I can't remember the exact words of the conversation, but in the dream I have some understanding of what is talked about.

I start walking in a square on the ceiling, using my feet like a cutter, trying to cut a square hole in the fabric of the dream dimension. Things then get too strange to describe. I'm not sure what happens exactly, but it's suddenly almost like I'm in several places at once, and also still in the room discussing the effect with this DC.

This one took place about two hours into a nap.

Lucid Dream # 8 of 2009
Random reality check induced Lucidity

Don't remember much about how the dream started out. It's a little confusing. I was talking with a Female boss I used to have. I think Moonbeam was already there as well. I remember being in a hallway of an apartment building and randomly pinching my nose. I can breath, And become Lucid almost instantly. I continue walking down the hall repeating this is a dream several times in my head. The first person I come to is my old boss, K. (Her name sounds exactly like the letter lol.)

She is in front of an open apartment door, and picking up bags of groceries and carrying them into the apartment. I tell her that this is a dream, and she continues with her groceries. "Stop messing around with those groceries. Since this is a dream, there isn't any point." I explain as I follow her into the apartment. "What should we do then?" She asks. We are now in the kitchen, and I'm aware of Moonbeam watching us from the living room. Moonbeam is Lucid too. To K, I say. "Well... you could kiss me." K actually blushes, and turns away slightly as she says. "I can't believe you just said that to me." Oh come on." I say, "It doesn't matter in a dream." She then turns and looks at me, and by her expression I can tell she is inviting me to kiss her. I then get worried that kissing her will cause me to wake up. But I'm already committed, so I lean in and give her a quick kiss on the lips and back off.

OK, still in the dream, good deal. K and I both walk out into the living room where Moonbeam is. I see K start messing with the thermostat on the wall. she says," If this is a dream I can turn the heat up more, and it won't cost anything." I decide to try and see if I can will the heat to rise in the room. I visualize fire all around us, making the room hot. It feels kind of like it's getting warmer. But I lose interest in that pretty fast, and stop. Not really sure what to do next, I jump up on the couch and back flip off it. I then remember walking on the ceiling in my last Lucid, and try to walk up the side of the wall.

It's kind of funny. My feet stick to the wall OK, and can walk up it. But my body can't follow well. So I end up kind of hanging upside down as my feet move up the wall.
I eventually get onto the ceiling, but I realize that I'm so tall that my head is almost touching the floor.

This is pretty awkward. So I give up on it and drop back to the floor. I then See what looks like an old, small, black and white TV, sitting on a shelf. I reach out with my mind using TK to levitate it into the air. I play around with it for a little bit, sending it spinning around the room. Through I window, I can see that it's pitch black outside.
I then decide to do a Little spin to see what happens. But I just do a slow awkward spin, that does nothing.

I now notice that I'm having all the fun. Moonbeam, and K, Are not really doing anything. They are just watching me. Moonbean is sitting in an easy chair with a beer in one hand, and a cigarette in the other. I take note of the realistic looking smoke rising from the cigarette. It looks like Moonbeam is getting ready to watch something on TV. "Hey Moonbeam. Isn't there something you want to try?" I ask. "Normally you have all sorts of tasks you are doing." ( The whole time I'm thinking that it's really K and Moonbeam in my dream.) Moonbeam takes a sip off her beer, then sets it down next to her chair. She then says to me. " Na, not today I just feel like sitting here for now. The dream fades right about then.

Before going to sleep last night I checked out DV, and saw a disturbing video of a US soldier throwing a puppy off a cliff. I was so upset by it that I didn't get to sleep for a while. But on the bright side, I got Lucid.

Less than 3 hours of sleep, with a 2 hour nap. Three dreams recalled. 1 Lucid, and a Lucid fragment with The Cusp in my nap.

Lucid Dream # 9 of 2009
Video game transition to Lucidity
This one took place after hitting snooze a couple times in the morning.


I'm on my computer, and I download some video game. I begin playing it. I have this male character with a loose jacket. My character is in a museum, and the objective is to steal as many art pieces as I can, to use them for something in an upcoming level of the game. I make the character pick things up, and stuff them into some deep inside pockets of his jacket. I notice groups of security that are on to me. They begin chasing my character as I go about my work. Also, traps begin to be triggered. There are huge spinning blades and stuff flying out of walls at me.

I make my character run around as fast as I can. Just barley, mostly by luck, avoiding getting hit by blades. My character now has this huge person sized mallet. I use it bash one of the security to the floor. Once he is down I keep bashing him, trying to see if his body will explode. It doesn't though, and I guess that blood and gore just isn't programmed into the game.

After that, I am now in the scene. I have become the character in the museum. I see a woman carrying a small child. Maybe one or two years old. I go up to her, and take the kid. I want to see if I can steal him, and what reaction it will cause in the game.
"Go ahead and keep him." The woman says. Then walks away. A little surprised and disappointed by the lack of reaction, I take the kid and run for the Exit. I'm hoping that maybe other people in the game will react.

At some point here, I know I'm dreaming.
I'm not sure of exactly when the transition of thinking I'm in a game, and knowing it's a dream comes though. I run with the child, past a bunch of people standing in a line. It's like a check out line or something. I'm not getting any reaction from anyone but my sister, that I now see standing in line. " Isn't that a crime your committing"? My sister asks. " It would be if this was real." I reply. "But none of this is real." My sister turns to my mom and says. " He thinks he is dreaming." "Oh, I don't think I'm dreaming." I say. "I know I'm dreaming." I do a quick nose pinch to confirm it, and I can breath easy.

I suddenly believe that I have the power to point my finger at people and make them Lucid. ( I lose the kid at some point her.) I walk along the line of people, firsts pointing my finger at my mom, and say. " Get Lucid!" "I'm getting there. But it's still a pretty low level she says." I move on and point my finger at my sister and say." Get Lucid!" She just kind of stares at me, like I'm whacked. I move on to the next woman, who is just some random DC. "Get Lucid!" I command. " I already am" She calmly Says.
I think that's pretty cool. She has been standing there Lucid the whole time. Alarm goes off.


In my nap I had some low level Lucidity at the end of some crazy adventure dream that I only remember a little bit of. I was in some apocalyptic world. There were bad guys slaughtering people. I end up on a jet plane, fighting the pilot, who is one of the bad guys. The plane crashes into the ocean, and we are flying under water. Somebody sets off a bomb that was on the plane, from a remote location. I am now watching the dream. as the scene shifts to the surface of the water. Though I believe this to be The Cusps dream. I can hear The Cusp narrating, as if I'm reading his journal. The Cusp is Lucid, and he stands up and walks across the surface of the water. There is plane wreckage everywhere, and bodies. He walks on water to one of the floating bodies. And begins talking to it. He knows it's not dead, because it's a DC that can not die.
I can't remember exactly what he says to it.

Lucid Dream # 10 of 2009
Random reality check induced Lucidity

Well, the RC wasn't completely random. I was dreaming about Lucid Dreaming. And since I had Lucid Dreaming on my mind, I did an RC. This one took place about six and a half hours into sleep. And sometime after two ten minute WBTB's

I'm in a place that is like a library. There are many rows of book shelves. And an open area with rows of tables. And even a service desk. Both M and V, A couple of women from my work ( quite a few years older than me) Are there.
In the dream, I'm thinking of this place as more of a dreaming forum. Not really a library.

I'm talking with M, and she is telling me about how she has had 100 Lucid Dreams. "You have already had 100 Lucids this year?" I ask. " Wow, thats a lot." "No not this year. That's how many I've had total." she says. "Oh."
I tell her about the dry spell I've been in. And how I'm starting to get it back.

I then walk away. I'm not exactly sure what I was doing, but since I'm thinking about Lucid dreaming, I decide to do an RC. I pinch my nose, and can breath! "What!" I pinch my nose again, and can still breath. I'm a little confused. Because I know I'm not dreaming. And I don't understand how I can be breathing through a pinched nose, if I'm not in a dream.

I decide I need to go show M that I can breath through a pinched nose, and see what she has to say about it. But On my way back to M, I remember that I should look at my watch. (thank goodness.) I look at my watch, and see some very small text written across the top. Where the date is supposed to be shown. That's not right. Now I suspect that I probably am dreaming.
I'm not sure what the text said. It was so small I couldn't make out the words. I look away and look back at it.

The numbers changed, and I now know for sure that I'm dreaming. Fascinated by my watch, I look away and look back several more times. every time I look at it there is something different displayed. from scrambled numbers and letters, to weird squiggly symbols. There is a dark haired man standing near the service desk. I'm thinking of him as like an administrator of the forum. I walk up to him and tell him that this is a dream. He is not really paying much attention. He is trying to make a phone call, and he keeps hitting the hang up button like he is not getting a dial tone are something.

I give him a friendly smack on the shoulder and say." Do some reality checks man!" then walk away, not really caring if he figures it out. I make my way back to M. "M, this is a dream right now! Look at my watch!" I hold my arm up so that she can see it.
Now, there is no watch. Just some digital numbers floating above my wrist. " That is so weird!" M exclaims. " I know!"

Just then, the man from the service desk comes running by, all excited. It seems, he has taken my advice, and done some RC's. He is now Lucid. Now it's time to celebrate being Lucid again. I get all excited and start running around, jumping off things. I jump off something and fly around the room Superman style for a little bit. Then I end up stopping in a spider-man style crouch on top of one of the bookshelves, near the ceiling. I survey the room. I see V standing near by. And I can see the man running around much like I just was. I notice that his eyes have turned blood red. I say to V. " Maybe that's why my eye has been all red like that. It must be Lucidity that causes it." V looks at me and says." now your eyes are glowing green, though. "Really!?" I say. I think it's pretty cool that I have green glowing eyes.

I then leap from my position, from on top of the book shelves. And land on some near by tables, jumping across them. I then begin having fun doing handsprings across the table tops until I wake.

Lucid Dream # 11 of 2009
Best dreamsign recognized
This one took place around an hour and forty minutes into sleep. That was all I slept last night, and this was the only dream recalled in that period.

I'm at the cabin. R and my brother are there. we are getting ready to go get gas for the four wheelers. (I actually have only one there.) There was some stuff that I don't remember very well. Then R and my brother had decided to take the four wheelers for a a little spin first. I watch as they come tearing out of the woods and around the cabin.(doesn't look much like the cabin area now.) R is following my brother, and rides over to an area where he has built this huge jump. I walk over there just in time to see my brother go flying off this jump.

The jump is like an almost vertical wall of dirt, only it's built like two ramps together. So that you catch air half way up the ramp, and either completely clear the top half, or briefly land on the top part, and jump off again. After seeing my brother go flying off the top part. I climb it on foot, and look down the other side. From the top looking down, it seems very high. Like hundreds of feet. I can see my brother riding below.

I get excited now, thinking I'm going to jump this. And when I do, I'll get Lucid. Only I'm going to do it on foot. I get down from the ramp and run around the property in a wide circle, getting up speed. Then run straight for the ramp. As I approach the ramp I get a little confused, wondering why I think I can make such I high jump without being hurt. But I shrug it off. I'm committed, and I somehow just know it will be alright.

I run up the face of the ramp, and when I reach the end of the first part of the ramp. I leap off it as hard as I can. I'm just barely able to clear the top part of it, and I dive head first into open air. I have a very brief moment of fear, but then I'm Lucid.

I fall a short way, then swoop upward into the air, flying. I put out both of my arms like a bird, and I feel as if I'm an eagle gliding on the wind. I circle the area rising higher and higher. "This is a dream." I repeat a couple of times. Just to be sure that I'm fully Lucid. I can see R pointing up at me while shouting to my brother. But my brother isn't paying attention. I'm wearing a loose white shirt, and I can feel the wind flowing through it, making the material flap violently. But not uncomfortably so. I just continue to circle, riding the air currents, gaining altitude all the time. It was a beautiful moment. I eventually get so high, that R and my brother are so tiny I can hardly make them out any more. And I just glide until I wake.

Had a really sucky week. No time to record any dreams. Though, been doing plenty of the mental awareness work. Been a little more motivated every day.

Lucid Dream # 12 of 2009
Tornado dreamsign recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

I normally probably wouldn't count a Lucid this short. But this one was significant to me for several reasons, so I'm going to count it. It took place about seven hours into sleep, and after one, ten minute WBTB. It's also the second tornado dream I had this week.

Going to skip over some of the beginning.
I'm with my my nephew, and I decide to go with him for a bike ride. We are going to ride to the park preserve trails. By the time we get there, we are no longer on bikes. We are walking. As we near the park we walk along a lake that's on the left of us. I'm watching the waves roll across the surface of the water. It begins to rain, and I can see the rain drops hitting the water too.

We are a ways from home, and I Think that it sucks that we are going to get caught in the rain now. It was nice when we left. I look to the sky, and I see some really low hanging clouds. I see one spot that is reaching a little lower than the rest, almost like a funnel. I look to my nephew and say,"If this was a dream those clouds would form into a tornado for sure." I'm pretty sure I do a quick nose RC here, but I don't get Lucid. It either failed or I didn't do it right again, I'm not sure.

The cloud does begin to form into a thin tornado, and touches down. And not too far away is a larger thicker one. I'm not even sure if it's a tornado, because there is no rotation to it. It just looks like a wide pillar of white cloud reaching from the sky to the ground. But, in the distance I can see even another tornado, this one is spinning fast, and tearing across the land. I don't feel any kind of wind yet.

My nephew and I, look for a place to take shelter. I'm on the verge of Lucidity the entire time because I feel very aware and clear thinking, and I'm strangely unafraid.
I can remember the tornado dream I had earlier this week, and I'm comparing my experience now, with the dream I had then.

We follow a road into the park preserve, there are some buildings, and picnic shelters. I can see lots of people around. I can see some woman getting blown away. She is sliding across the ground out of control. And there is lots of flying dust in the air. Yet, I don't feel the wind. But I think I'm about to. I find a place for us to hide. Kind of hard to describe it. It's just a narrow space between some buildings, almost completely surrounded by concrete. But one side is open. My nephew, some other woman, and I, hide in this spot.

Through the open space, I can see a tornado spin by, the back track it's course. I do another nose RC, proud of myself for remembering to RC even in this dire situation.
This time I can breath through my nose. But it feels weird, like my nose is full of boogers and I'm just breathing because I can't get my nose completely closed.
For a moment I get distracted by the tornado again. I point out to my nephew, the life like nature of this tornado. It is moving back and forth right outside the opening of our shelter. It is like it knows we are there, and is checking us out. (In my previous tornado dream, a face formed on the tornado. It became a living creature that tried to reach into my shelter and suck me out.)

I remember this as I watch it become thiner and and thiner. Then dissipate altogether.
Again I do another nose RC, and can breath. But with the same difficulty as before. I do it a couple of times, but there is no way I can trust this RC. I then remember to look at my watch. I look at it, and look away. "Wait a minute, did the numbers just change?" A bit excited now, pretty sure that I really am dreaming, I try it again. But now I'm having trouble seeing the numbers properly. I do the RC several times trying to get a for sure sign. My watch just doesn't look right. Then I finally get a bunch of squiggly scrambled symbols that I remember from the last dream I did this.

OK, now I'm 99% sure I'm dreaming. I just have a little bit of doubt. I decide to show my watch to my nephew to get his opinion. He has already left the shelter. I go to look for him. He is not far, I show him my watch and ask him what he thinks. He laughs and says, " Your watch says Caradons gift!" (Uses my real name, though.) "What?"
I turn the watch back and look at it. My watch now looks like a red heart shaped Valentine. With white around the edges. There are three words on it, one just above the other. "Caradons gift shop." (real name again, though.)

I look to my nephew and say, " Now there is no doubt at all!" I look at my watch again, and it still has that Valentine look to it. It seems so funny to me that I start laughing so fracking hard that I bend over double holding my stomach. My nephew starts laughing too. I laugh so hard that I wake myself up.

I'm pretty tired so I'm not sure how well I'll be able to describe these dreams, but I got Lucid the last two nights.

Lucid Dream # 13 of 2009
Movie transition to Lucidity

This one took place about seven hours into sleep. It was a night of bad recall because of having my sleeping schedule disrupted. But I ended up remembering a Lucid at the end of the night anyway. It was the only dream I recalled.

The first thing I remember is walking down a road through the most beautiful mountain scene. Though, I know it's not real. I believe that I'm in a movie theater watching a digital 3D movie. The mountains have snow on them, and I'm just blown away by the beauty of the scene. And I'm so amazed that I'm so immersed in the movie, that It actually feels like I'm walking down the road. I try to get a sense of myself sitting in my chair in the theater, but I can hardly tell that I'm in a theater. I move along the road for some time, just gaping in wonder at the mountain scene.

Scene shifts. My next memory is that I'm in a house, and I'm fully aware I'm dreaming now. I can hear the voices of children upstairs. And I begin to make my way in that direction. I briefly think about trying to will the scene to change, but everything seems as solid and real as real life, so I just make my way up the stairs.

There is a kind of an eerie feel to the scene. I feel as if I'm in an end of the world scenario. Once upstairs, I am in a room with two children. My memory is a little vague here, and I think my Lucidity level gets fairly low for a little bit. I remember some images on a TV about things that are going on in the world outside. Then I lay down to go to sleep. I remember that I was planning to go into a dream Lucid. But then I get up for some reason, to get something, I think.

Then full Lucidity comes back to me. And I think to myself, why do I want to go to sleep in a dream. That's a waste of Lucid time. Now, the children have become dogs. One of them is my dog, and the other is my Moms. (That I watched all winter while she was in Mexico.) I look at my moms dog and see if I can will him to come to me with my thoughts alone. He does, He actually gets up and runs to me as fast as he can, and wagging his tail. I think that's pretty cool. Just then my alarm goes off.

I had set my alarm a half an hour early to get into work early too. I regret doing that now.

Lucid Dream # 14 of 2009
Best dreamsign recognized
No reality check needed
Basic Lucid task completed

I woke up from this one after about an hour and a half of sleeping. That's all I slept last night, and I recalled other dreams too. I had better recall in that hour and a half than I did in the seven hours of the night before. That's because I had a good nap in earlier in the afternoon.

Going to skip over some of the beginning stuff. There was stuff about me having an apartment, and sharing it with some other college kids. In the dream, I'm a kid in college. And the apartment is like a dorm room or something. One thing leads to another, and eventually there is a group of us out on the street walking, doing I don't know what. It's outside the college, and there are lots of people around.

Somewhere along the line, I find this long wooden pole. It's a little longer than I am tall. And I'm about six three. The pole isn't very wide around. It actually reminds me of the pole in my closet for hanging coats on, only longer. I decide I'm going to use this to pole vault along. And I also think about how if I was in a dream, doing this could easily get me Lucid.

I take a couple of running steps and vault off of this sloping grassy hill, trying to get as high as I can. Suddenly I'm airborne, and floating higher. Instantly Lucidity washes over me.

I say to some my friends, "Hey, this is a dream! Look at me, I'm flying!"
I kind of float along, not all that high in the air. It's like gravity is gone. I'm not even really trying to fly. I'm still carrying my long pole. One of the other guys has a long pole as well, and he decides to take a whack at me with it. It's kind of a playful friendly attack. He isn't really trying to cause me harm. Still floating, I use my pole like a staff, and easily block. We have this little battle, and I think it's cool how I can wield this staff like a pro. I know exactly how to spin it, and swing it just right, to block every strike that comes at me. It's kind of fun.

After a little bit of this I lose interest, and kind of drift away and land. There are many pretty college girls around, and I am unable to completely resist the urge to play with one a little. There is one standing on the side of the street, facing away from me. I walk up behind her, and slide my right hand around her waist. Then move it upwards, until I feel the pleasant softness of her breast beneath my hand. Then I nibble on the side of her neck just a little. Then I back off, not wanting to push my luck. I don't want to lose the dream, and this kind of thing always causes me to wake up.

I do something here, I can't remember what exactly. There is a slight gap in my memory. But then I'm on a street, and it feels as if I've been in this dream for a while now, and I think it's pretty cool. Then I think, Hmm, what to do now. I now remember the Lucid task of the month. I didn't really set the intention to do the task before hand. But I remembered reading it, and thinking I would do it if I got the chance. The one I think of, is to go diving. This is something I've wanted to do anyway.

I take a quick look around and I can see the ocean not far off. Did I just inadvertently summon the ocean? I don't know, but I don't remember seeing it before. I make my way there. I make my way there, and the water is rough. there are lots of waves crashing to shore. Wow, I think. This is those most realistic looking water. I can hardly wait to dive in. But suddenly the ocean waves are rushing at me fast. I'm hit by the water with force. And it's more like a rushing white water river now. I get completely submerged and I can't see a thing, because the water is all white and bubbly. I start to feel like I'm suffocating, but then remember I can breath water. I take a deep breath, and I can breath easy. I get water in my mouth and I'm amazed that it tastes as salty as the real ocean.

But then suddenly the raging torrent is gone, and I'm left sitting on dry ground. The rest of the ocean is just a few feet from me, and it's just a flat calm now. I walk up to it, and the water is clear. I dive back in, and swim beneath the surface. I take a deep breath through my nose, and I can actually feel the water burn the inside of my nose a little. I know that I don't have to feel that, and it goes away.

I swim to the bottom. It isn't all that deep. the first thing I notice is brown leaves rolling across the ocean floor. It's kind of odd. But then I see these long, weird looking fish swimming near me. I try to touch one of them but they are just out of reach, and I can't get close enough.

But then I'm startled by the next thing I see. It's I big male lion walking along the bottom of the ocean floor! And it's coming towards me. After my initial surprise I think it's pretty cool. I swim up to it and start to pet it. The lion rolls over onto it's back, and I scratch it's belly. I then turn and go to find something else. I notice the lion is following me now. But then I wake. I think my alarm clock went off just then, I'm not sure though.

Hey man, started reading your lucids, they are really inspiring at times. You write very clearly, it's nice

Keep up the good lucid dreaming

Thanks for reading Samchestido.

Thanks for the compliments on both my dreams and my writing.

I've been working hard to beat this slow spell I've been on all year so far.

Damn, Lucid four times in the last two nights but lost most of it because of some bad recall. I'm counting this one I had my nap, just because I'm pissed about losing so much.

Lucidity trigger unknown

I had woken up from a Lucid in my nap, and was excited about getting Lucid again. But I fell right back to sleep and entered another dream Lucid. It was like a continuation of the one I woke up from. There was somebody with me, and I was telling them about the dream I was just having. There was something about a big stadium, and I was doing tricks for a crowed. Going of big jumps doing acrobatic stunts. I was telling the person with me about this. and I was Lucid while telling them about it.

Then I decide to show off. I say, "Watch this." I'm in a room, and there s a chair. I run towards the chair. I jump into the air, kick off the backrest of the chair, then tuck into a ball doing a slow but perfect back flip. While spinning in the air, I think, ahh that feels good. Then I land perfectly on my feet, and wake up again.

And I have hardly any recall of the Lucid I was having before that.

This one took place somewhere around two and a half hours into sleep, and after hitting snooze a couple of times.

Lucidity trigger unknown


It starts out that I'm in a buffet restaurant with my family. I don't remember all the details of the beginning that well, But I wasn't finished eating and the rest of my family was getting up to leave. Somebody tried to take my plate of food and make me go with them. I got really pissed off and threw the plate across the restaurant. As most of my family walked out the front door, I turned back to the buffet line. I notice that my brother has come back to try and get me to leave. But now I'm so pissed off that I go kind of crazy. I can't remember everything I did here, but I know that I became increasingly obnoxious, and was making a huge scene. I didn't care at all what anyone thought. I believe that this somehow led to my Lucidity.

There is a gap here in my memory. I don't remember leaving the restaurant and going into a grocery store with my brother. But the next thing I remember is that we had just entered a grocery store. And I'm now Fully Lucid.

The first thing I notice is that there are hardly any people. This makes me think of a thread I read at DV. Even though I know it's not true the the person was saying that they didn't think the mind could create large crowds very well. After looking around a bit, I see that there are a few people cleaning up. And I see a guy with a mop bucket too. I guess the place is getting ready to close, that's why it's so empty.

The place looks similar to a Rainbow Foods near me. I'm standing in what would be the produce section in real life. But instead of vegetables there is a long, glass, case like counter. A lot like something you would see at a jewelry store. The glass counter runs the length of this side of the store. Locked inside are fancy white bread rolls, with a white powder on them. My brother has walked off a little ways, doing something, I don't know what.

I still have this crazy rage feeling lingering over from the previous part of the dream. On a whim, I leap up onto the glass case counter, and shout really loudly. "WTF does a person have to do to get some rolls around here!" I get down on my hands and knees and start punching the glass, trying to smash it. It doesn't break though. I begin crawling along the top of the counter, continuing to punch the glass.

I see a man standing by the counter holding a plate of food. (Must still have a bit of restaurant theme going in my head.) On his plate, is a cupcake with white frosting. still crawling, I'm right next to him now. "Give me a bite of that"! I demand. I shove my face onto his plate, taking a huge bite out of the cupcake, and leaving the rest of it smashed into crumbs. I can tell that I have frosting smeared all over my face, I can feel it.

I crawl along the counter some more. I now see this girl with long dark hair. She is wearing a dark leather like jacket, and blue jeans. She is standing up, but kind of bent over the counter leaning on it. She has her eyes closed like she is sleeping. I crawl up to her, lean in and kiss her on the lips. The frosting on my face gets on her lips too, and I can taste the sweetness as I kiss her. She opens her eyes, and I say. " Hey there sweet lips." I notice my brother standing right next to us now. I say to him." She has really sweet lips. You should kiss her and find out." I notice that the girl has started laughing. I guess she thinks my dumb joke is funny. Just then my alarm goes off.

Annoying, this dream really felt like it could have lasted a lot longer. I wasn't even worried about waking up from kissing the girl.

This one took place about three and a half hours into sleep.

Lucid Dream # 17 of 2009
Watch dreamsign recognized
Reality check induced Luidity
Basic Lucid task completed

There was a lot of weird stuff that eventually led up to me being in this house with some family that I don't know in real life. I was helping them to cook a big meal. I didn't really know what to do to help, though. And I felt more like I was getting in the way than helping. At some point I randomly look at my watch, not really intending to RC. But when I look at it all the numbers are messed up. They are half formed and changing very chaotically. The teenage boy of the family is sitting near by. I say, "Hey look at my watch, that's so weird. It's like it could look in a dream." But I honestly thought it was just doing that because the battery was dying. But I decide to do another RC to make sure. I pinch my nose closed and I can breath through it easily.

"Hey, this is a dream." I say to the boy. The dream is so real that it seems kind of strange to believe it's a dream just because I can breath through a pinched nose. But I accept the truth of it anyway. The boy and I are near the top of a stairway. I leap off the top of the stairs, easily missing them all, and landing softly on the ground floor.

I walk down a hall and into the kitchen, where the mother is still preparing food. I tell her that we are dreaming an d she believes me. there is a little bit of stuff here that I don't remember very well. I was talking to the mom a little bit, and then we were getting ready to go outside and find something fun to do. Just before we go outside I say to her, " I have not decided what I'm going to do with you people yet." As I say that I realize it may sound kind of sinister. But I have no harmful intentions towards these people. I feel like they are friends, and I just meant that I wanted to involve them in whatever I do in this dream.

"Oh, I know. Lets do the DV Lucid task of the month!" I walk outside into the yard, and the mother follows me. I somehow know there is a garden out there without even consciously trying to summon one. I find the garden right away. The first thing I see is something that looks like yellow Dandelions. I pick one and hold it out to the mother. "A flower for you." She takes it. Confident that I completed the task, I'm still not quite satisfied, though. Technically a Dandelion is not a flower, it's a weed.

So, I look around some more, and I find what looks similar to Tulips, I think. ( I don't really know my flowers well.) Only they have long stalks. They stand about waist high. The pedals are bright yellow. "Perfect!"

Just then the womans daughter comes walking up a trail, and into the yard. We are on kind of a hill. The daughter is more my age, and I decide that I will give her the flower.
So I pick one of the tall tulip looking things. Hand it to the daughter and say, " A flower for you." She takes it, and at the same time ends up dropping some stuff she was carrying. It looks like she had a bunch of rolled up posters or something, I don't know.

"Cool, I just completed the Lucid task." I say to her. "Do you know what that means?" "Yeah, we are dreaming." She says. I start to help her pick up the things she dropped, and then remembered it's pointless to do that in a dream. And I say so.
The daughter tells me that she knows, that's why she didn't pick them up.

I then, notice a white garage, and leap up onto the roof. Intending to do some fun acrobatics off it. But once I get up there I'm struck by the view. We are up on a hill like I said before, but from my vantage point on the roof, I can really see the surrounding area. A little ways off in the distance is a large body of water. Like a very big lake. Along much of the shore is a thick green forest. There is a yacht on the lake. And there are a couple of white birds that look like seagulls flying across the surface of the water. It's a very beautiful scene, and I just stand there enjoying the sight for a few moments before I wake up.

Hey man, still reading your dreams. Somehow your dreams really resemble mine, so it's comforting to read so many lucids I finally had one again last night, but it's *really* explicit so i'm leaving that one in my private journal

Good luck man, see you!

Thanks, It's good to hear your enjoying my Lucids.

It's good that you are able to have those kinds of Lucid Dreams. That stuff makes me wake up so often.

And good luck to you too!

This one took place about an hour and a half into my nap.

Lucid Dream # 18 of 2009
Random reality check induced Lucidity

I'm in a garage working on my car.(Odd, I know nothing about car mechanics.) I have the garage door open, and I'm laying under the car doing stuff. I'm messing with the suspension. I guess I think that there is an adjustment to make my car look like it's jacked up. Like some kind of hot rod. I'm trying to do that. Plus I'm just enjoying the day. It's a perfectly beautiful day. (just like in real life.) And it feels pleasant just to be out here with the garage door open.

I get out from under the car, then randomly do a nose RC. Lucid instantly, but slightly confused because I don't remember falling asleep lol. I end up running through the garage door that goes into the house. Then out the front door of the house. I'm now in the front yard of the townhouses that I so often dream about. I notice that I'm carrying my watch in my hand.

(That's interesting. I've been doing a lot of carrying my watch around in my hand in real life, in order to be more consciously aware of it. In an attempt to help me dream of it more often.)

I try to put the watch back on my wrist but I have trouble with connecting the band properly. I think about dropping it but I don't want to. My watch is important to me. I try to hurry up and get it on right. But it's taking too long so I end up just shoving it into my pocket.

I then run across the yard leap up onto the roof of a parked car on the side of the road. Jump off the car, and fly up and over the house across the street. I rise higher and higher. I see a car driving down the road. I attempt to grab the car with telekinesis. But I can't quite get locked onto it. My attempt does cause some odd visual distortion though. The car does seem to get a little closer to me, but it's more like I pulled that entire part of the scene closer to me, rather than just the car. I don't really like it so I give that up.

I fly back over in the direction of the town houses. I'm way higher than the roof. I look down at the balconies, (That are not there in real life.) and can see a little bit of movement through some of the sliding doors. I'm curious about the people inside, and think for a moment about landing on one of the balconies, and messing with the DC's inside.

As I begin to descend to the building, though. I gust of wind kicks up, pulling me higher into the sky. I don't fight it, because I enjoy it. I get pulled so high that the building starts to look pretty small down below. Then I slowly descend again. I fly over the roof of the townhouse, so that I'm over the back yard now.

I see some really tall trees. They stand a lot taller than the roof of the town house.
One in particular catches my attention. It looks like a birch tree. It has a few branching trunks shooting straight upwards, but not any leafy branches. Almost as if it was dead.

I decide to land on the very topmost part of the tree. As I fly up to it, I take note of it's amazing detail. I can see dark knots, and places where the birch bark is peeling, torn, or gouged. As I land on it, even feels like real wood to the touch. I balance on the very top. It's like I'm on a tall pole.

I look down to the ground, and I see a group of girls about to enter a door on the town house. I decide to mess with these DC's. I stick one foot out, and wobble all around while windmilling my arms at the same time. I then start shouting. " Help! I'm going to fall!" I keep shouting and acting like I'm all off balance. But I don't get much reaction. A couple of them look my way, but that's about it. So I let myself tip over, and I fall head first to the ground. I land on my hands and handspring to my feet. Then follow the girls into the building.

It's like an apartment building inside, and I follow them up a staircase. I check out some of their bodies as they walk ahead of me. And I debate with myself about trying anything sexual with them. I decide I want to try a dream control experiment. I'm going to see if I can get any of them to take there cloths off, just from my intention to have them do so. Without using TK or any other means to control them. I follow them into their apartment. As we enter one of the girls pulls off her shirt. She has no bra so shes completely topless now. I think, cool it's working. But then she just goes and sits down in a chair. All the others are just doing various things around the apartment.

I feel like being obnoxious. So I say. " Why don't we all get naked and !"

I look from DC to DC. then I wake.

This one took place about four and a half hours into sleep. And after one ten minute WBTB.

Lucid Dream # 19 of 2009
Random reality check induced Lucidity

I can't remember what was going on before I became Lucid. But I know that there was some other people involved. But then I'm alone walking along some wilderness trail when I randomly reach up and pinch my nose to RC. I can breath, but it's like through boogers again. I try to pinch my nose harder, but I can still breath. I bit confused, I'm like could it really be a dream? I look at my watch and I have a hard time seeing any numbers. Ah, this has happened in dreams before. I now suspect that I probably am dreaming. I try harder to see the numbers so that I can look away and look back again, to see if they change. But then I only see one small number in the upper left corner of the watch face. The rest is blank. I'm pretty sure the number was 12.

No need to look away and look back. I have to be dreaming! There is a small body of water to my left. It's kind of muddy looking. The edge of the shore is raised a few feet higher than the water. Not even actually 100% sure I'm dreaming yet. I take a running leap off the shore, and out over the water. (I had just decided to believe what my watch was telling me.) For a moment I'm a little worried it will turn out to not be a dream. And I will fall in and feel pretty stupid. But I easily catch myself in the air with my mind before I can fall, and begin flying across the surface of the water. Ahh, that moment felt so good.

I land back on the trail I was just on, and begin a fast walk down it. My vision is a little foggy. For a moment I think maybe my glasses are fogged up. But then my vision clears up, and I can see low laying fog through the forest. I realize that my thoughts had just summoned the forest fog. And that reminds me that I want to practice conscious summoning. I want to summon a dragon. The first type of dragon that I think of, is one of the blue dragons of Kryn. So I visualize the dragon, and imagine that it will come flying over the tree line any moment. I look around, yet I still see no dragon.

I leap and climb to the top of some rocks ahead of me. And down the other side is a steep cliff leading down to a beautiful valley. With a gentle stream at the bottom. A little ways below me is a cement wall. It's about the size of a roadside billboard. I leap off the rock I'm standing on, and land on the cement wall. I look up to the tree line again, hoping to see my dragon come flying over the trees. I know if I just think of it the right way, the dragon will appear. I stand there on the wall for a few moments trying to figure out the right way to think of the dragon.

I then look down the face of the cliff, and dive off head first. I fall, and fall, until I near the stream at the bottom. Then swoop parallel to the water and fly along the valley bottom. There is fairly short a tunnel in the side of a cliff ahead. I fly in and through it.
I come out the other side, and there are some people with a group of kids. It's my boss from work, and also V, A lady I work with.

I land and tell them it's a dream. I know I shouldn't waste my time, but I think it would be really cool to get my boss Lucid in one of my dreams. I explain the whole watch thing to him, and tell him to look at his watch. He says, "Mine just says the time." Then V says, " My watch is seven minutes fast." Then they start to walk away. I can tell that they don't believe me. As I watch them start walking away, I wake up.

I slept two and a half hours last night. The last half hour was hitting snooze. I got Lucid during the third snooze time. probably one of the weirdest lucids I can remember having too. But I lost Lucidity during the last part.

Lucid Dream # 20 of 2009
Lucidity trigger unknown

I'm already Lucid in my first memory of this dream. I had just entered a bedroom with two women. And I want to convince them that it's a dream. I look around the room and the lighting is weird. Like the light bulbs are colored. I think about a thread at DV about lighting in dreams. And as I think about it the odd colors of the lighting become more pronounced. I mention the dram lighting to the women in the room with me.

There is a girl sitting on the bed. I can see her hands, and her fingers look weird. they are short and stubby. And they keep changing in number. I tell her to look at her hands, because they are an obvious dreamsign. She holds up her hands in front of her face. Now her fingers look like big stars. like the shape of star shaped cookies. But they are thick. At some point around here the other DC in the room is just gone.

The girl looks at her star shaped finger hands and giggles. Then she turns her hand palm facing me. Her hand seems really thin and stretchy now. I put the palm of my hand up against hers Then she transforms into this kind of liquid blob like mass and slithers off the side of the bed, and squeezes underneath it. The bed is too low to the ground for a normal body to fit under.

I think, that she is trying to run away from me and I say, "Hey, I can do that too." I don't know how I did it, But I just know I can do the same thing she just did. Without even thinking about it a transform into a liquid blob mass and slide under the bed after her.

I end up following her out from under the bed and into the hall. We meet up with some other people of her family that are also blob type masses. we are all different colors and really stretchy. I begin to lose Lucidity as we get into this family stretchy blob wrestling match. We are all twisting and stretching around each other until we eventually become one big multicolored blob mass. And my alarm goes off. And I wake up thinking wtf was that. Lol.

Wow I'm still loving reading your journal. You capture what it is like to be in a LD so well. I especially love your descriptions of RCs. I can totally relate to all the dream thought processes like not really believing it's a dream but trusting my watch anyway.

Congrats on achieving the lucid task. All your lucids are so cool! Wish I could be in one with you lol

That sounds bizarre. I wonder where the heck that came from? It reminds me of the time I jumped in a meat grinder and ended up a messy pile of goo. I formed myself back into the shape of a person, like the liquid metal terminator.

Thanks Dream Queen.

Sometimes I wonder if I should reallly be describing my every thought and feeling as I go. But it seems important somehow.

I Probably just need to talk to you more often, and I'm sure I would run into you in a dream. If I saw you while Luicd I would certainly attempt to get you Lucid as well. Most of the time I am able to convince DC's it's a dream.
I've been Lucid with other DV members a few times. It's pretty cool when that happens.

Yeah that was really weird. I think the dream just manifested out of focusing on those odd morphing hands of that DC. That's the first time I ever looked at hands as an RC. Or ever noticed anything weird about hands in a dream at all. And they were not even my hands lol.

Jumping into a meat grinder sounds awesome! I would try that for sure if I ever saw one in my dream.

Oh it's wonderful how you describe your thoughts. Keep it up. That's mainly what makes your journal so interesting, plus your dreams are cool.

Yeah, I've been lucid in a dream with spaceexplorer a few times now which was totally rad. I never have any trouble convincing him it's a dream - he always knows before I even know myself!

Hopefully I'll run into you in my next lucid...

Lucid Dream # 21 of 2009
Weird thought induced Lucidity

I'm at some place. I don't remember where exactly. There are to women and that I'm talking to. I'm telling them about how I feel sorry for somebody who is expecting a child, but is unable to afford one. I suddenly realize that one of these women are pregnant, and I feel bad for saying that. Then I start to wonder about how some character in a book that I've read would feel about the situation.

I realize how odd of a thought that is. A written character can't feel, it is just a word on a page. For some reason this instantly triggers Lucidity. I don't even miss a beat in what I'm saying to the woman. I just say," I don't even know whats real or not real anymore." (For some reason I thought the dream was taking place in a TV show, just before I got Lucid.") I continue to say to the woman, "here I am on a TV show, thinking about how characters in some book may feel. Talking to a TV character. And yet I know damn well this is a dream!" "None of this is real, yet it is real. because I'm so obviously here, and we are having this conversation." I get this really strange perspective of layers upon layers of reality, with no real boundaries of whats real or unreal.

Then the woman says something completely random, that really surprises me. She says, "It's up for you to decide when you would like to come home." When she says this I feel a wave of goose bumps wash over me, and I say. "Oh man, I would love to stay here. I never, ever, want to go back." (to the waking world.) However, as much as I wished I could stay there, I did not believe that I would not be waking up from this dream.

At this point I walk away, and I find a living room type of room. there are several people sitting around on couches and chairs. " Have any of you ever hear of a dream place called Elete?" I ask. They start scrunching up their faces really hard. Like they are concentrating on trying to remember if they ever heard of such a place.

There is a little boy kicked back on a couch. I look at him and playfully say. "I bet you know where Elete is,don't you?" He giggles. I then grab him by the hands and pull him off the couch. I spin around swinging him up into the air. I wake while doing this.

Lucidity trigger unknown

I'm already Lucid in my first memory of this dream. I'm at the town houses again. I'm on the roof of one of the buildings, and pushing my hands through the roof. I'm thinking about pushing completely through the roof, and into the building. But then I decide not to. I pull my hands out, and take a running leap off the roof. I begin flying in the direction of another building. There is a lot of wind, and it's night. But it's not so dark that I can't see. The building I'm trying to get to seems far away, And for a moment I start to think that space is going to play that weird trick on me, where I cant' get any closer to my destination, no matter how fast I move towards it.

I start to fear I will wake before I can get there. I focus all of my attention on a tree in the distance. For some reason I think that doing this will help hold me in the dream. I then begin to fly much faster towards mu destination.

I then hear the sound of nearby voices. Some of them female. I now have a one track mind, and I don't even consider doing anything else in this dream. I fly in the direction of the voices. There is a parking area. A group of people have just gotten out of their cars. They are talking as they make their way to their homes. I single out one of the females. I swoop in and hook my right arm around her waist. I pull her close and fly off with her. I don't take her far before landing, and the rest is censored. I do have some fun with her before I eventually wake.
