I know, what a cool thing for a dC to say. Yeah, I did have a couple of pretty good ones at the cabin. Another bear Lucid too.

Lucid Dream # 24 of 2009
Anxiety induced Lucidity
A nap dream at the cabin

I'm driving down I narrow two lane highway. On one side is a cement wall. I see a car driving the wrong way, coming right at me. I switch lanes to avoid it. My car becomes my bike, and the highway becomes a railroad track. I can see that a train is coming down the tracks towards me. I manage to turn my bike around. the track is kind of weird. It's just one rail with a slot in it. My bike tires fit in the slot. I try to peddle as fast as I can, but the train is fast catching up to me.

I start to become Lucid, and I say this is a dream. I have to repeat it several times though, before I am fully Lucid. Now that I know I'm dreaming I really start to pick up speed. I look for the track to form a hill so that I can use it like a ramp. After a moment I get the hill. I ride up the incline and jump off it, soaring high into the sky.
I fly up over a dark fantasy style city, with many tall skyscraper buildings of varying sizes, all packed closely together. It's like a city from a movie based on a comic book. The entire place has a very unique, ominous, feel to it. The over all feeling of this entire dream is like no other Lucid I've ever had.

I let my bike go, and watch as it falls. For some reason I find watching my bike falling from a great height, fascinating. It falls and disappears between two sky scrapers.
I notice a man lounging in a chair on top of one of the buildings. I quickly land next to him, and push him off. I watch him falling end over end, screaming. I'm suddenly horrified by what I had just done. I desperately try reaching out and catching him with telekinesis before he can hit the ground. Thankfully my TK does not fail me. With much relief I pull him back to the top of the building and set him down. I then leap off and fly out over this mysterious city.

I fly around for a few moments, trying to decide on what to do next. One particular balcony on the side of one of the buildings, catches my attention. It's a very small balcony, with a very small lit up window. there is barely enough room for me to land on it and peek through the window. The window and the balcony seem really tiny now. almost as if I'm a giant looking into a doll house window. I can see several people sitting around watching TV. To my surprise, I see that my brother is one of them.

There is a few moments of me peeking in at them, and somebody seeing me and commenting on my presence. I then decide to enter the room. Even though the window seems way to small for me to fit through, I know I can get through. I just grab the sides of the window and start pulling myself in. Without even a thought to the fact that there is glass there. Just as I thought would happen. The dimensional changes take place, and I easily pass through, and into the room.

I immediately make an advance on one of the women, and start having sex with her right there in front of everyone. And at the same time that we are going at it, I am engaging my brother in a casual conversation. I had a hard time remembering all the details of the conversation. I remember that one of the first things I asked him, is if he is my real brother, or just a made up DC version. But I can't remember his reply, or if he even answered the question. I then remember him asking me about some event that I went to with my mother, that he was also supposed to have gone with. In the dream, I clearly remember this event, and tell him about it. Though upon awakening, I could not even remember what the event was in which we were speaking of.

After some long time of talking with my brother, I notice that one of the other women in the room is completely naked. She has long blond hair, and oh so perfectly shaped, and proportioned. I step away from the one that I was currently having sex with, and walk over to the blond. "You are so hot!" I say to her. "Thank you," she replies. As she looks away somewhat shyly, smiling. "No, thank you!" I exclaim. She laughs at that comment. I realize that I don't want to waste the entire dream on sex. But then realize that I can continue to multi task it. I will just carry her with me, having sex as I go about other dream stuff.

I lift her off the floor, and onto me. Then carry her along as I make my way to the window I came in through. I have no trouble climbing out with her attached. I look back to my brother and say," If you are my real brother remember to call me later and tell me about this dream!" But then I remember him telling me once that he never remembers his dreams. So even if it is really him, I doubt he will remember it.

I then leap off the balcony with the girl, and into the night sky. Just enjoying the sexual flying. I then notice that my underwear is around my ankles, and I kick them off.
I watch as they drift lazily downward, like a leaf on the wind.

Then as we continue to fly, I look for and interesting, public place, to set down. I see a high speed car chase below. I think that it would be perfect to land, and have sex on the roof of a speeding car, being chased through the city by police. But the car chase disappears down the streets before I can navigate the landing. And I don't care enough to try and catch up.

I then see two other women in bikinis, laying out on towels in front of a building.
I think it may be fun to surprise them, landing between them. And possibly getting them involved. I make our way in that direction. As I get closer to them, I notice one of them look up at us and point, her friend looks in our direction too. And they both stare. I shout down to them, "What's the matter! Haven't you ever seen two flying people fucking before!" But just after shouting that, the dream fades away and is gone.

Lucid Dream # 25 of 2009
Bear dreamsign recognized
No reality check needed
Last Lucid of spring cabin trip


I'm right outside the cabin near where the car is parked, when a small black bear comes walking out of the woods. It walks lazily towards me. I make a run for the closed orange coral type gate, that is on the cabin end of the long grassy driveway.
I make it to the gate and climb up and over the top of it. I know I should not be running away from the bear, but I want to get the gate between us. I know it's not much protection, but it's better than nothing.

The bear comes up to the gate and sticks it's head through the bottom bars. I kick at it hoping I won't get my foot bit off. Then I start waving my arms and shouting at it. trying to scare it away. The bear simply sits down and stares at me through the gate, seemingly unaffected by my antics. I suddenly find humor in this, and I realize how ridiculous the situation is. And Lucidity then washes over me pretty much instantaneously.

For a moment I think I'm about to wake up. Because I feel as if the dream has just begun. Just like one of the many brief WILD's I have. Only I didn't enter the scene Lucid. I look around. And with the the thought of waking up, the environment slightly distorts, but then holds. I quickly climb back to the top of the gate and leap into the air. I fly up and over the trees that are on my left, thinking that if I can make it over them, the Lucid is good enough to officially count.

I do make it over the trees, and I fly out over the wide beaver pond. Just after passing over the trees, I notice a much larger black bear walking along the edge of the pond. I'm fascinated by the fact that my mind created another bear here, even after becoming Lucid, and no longer even thinking about the bear. (If it was always that easy to summon...)

I nose dive right for the bear. As I do I think about pancaka, and how he would probably rather read about me destroying the bear in some awesome fashion. But that's not normally my way of defeating dangerous situations, or attackers. I pretty much slam into the bear, wrapping my arms around it in a great hug. The feel of the bear as I grab onto it is very realistic. Except for the weight, as I am effortlessly able to pull the bear into the air with me.

I take the bear flying with me out over the pond. As I fly with it, I take note of how real the bear seems. I can feel the softness of it's fur. I'm carrying at an angle that I can see it's face, and I notice the different shades of color on it's nose. The bear even grunts as I jostle it around a little.

I fly with it across the water, then set the bear down on the other side of the pond. I hear water splash as it's paws land in some shallow water. Then as I watch the bear walk off the dream fades away.


I was pretty happy about this dream, because so many times during the week I had visualized getting Lucid and flying out over the pond. It was cool that I was actually able to do it. I just didn't imagine doing it with a bear in tow. My recall of the dream was so clear and vivid. When I got up and went outside, I went and stood in the exact spot that I had gotten Lucid, and looked around. It was a strange feeling. I looked up at the trees on my left, remembering how I leaped off the gate and flew over them.
In reality the trees are much taller than they were in the dream. Other than that, everything was pretty close to the same as how it really is. Minus the bears. So far anyway lol.

I didn't read all of them, but some pretty awesome stuff in here, man.

I just registered a week or so ago, and am a relative beginner at this. It's good to read the journals of people that are able to consistently LD.

It definitely helps with the motivation.

I love how we can be fully lucid and still get confused thinking certain DCs are really there with us! Happens to me too especially when I have a LD involving a dv member.

Priceless! What a great way for the dream to end. I once had a lucid finish with me making a smart, humourous comment to a DC. It feels so great like you got the last word!

Yeah I do stuff like that too eg thinking 'I just have to do this so I've got something to write in my journal' lol.

Yeah, I've done this too. It's always weird being somewhere after I've been there in a LD.

Great dreams man!

Thanks Moiguerrero! I appreciate the comment. I agree, sometimes reading others Lucid stories can be very motivating. Good luck with your quest for Lucidity!

Yeah I know. They just seem way too real. I don't think I actually believed it was really my brother. but I know I was hoping it was.

Priceless! What a great way for the dream to end. I once had a lucid finish with me making a smart, humourous comment to a DC. It feels so great like you got the last word!

Yeah I know what you mean. I wish I could have stayed in it a little longer to see their reactions.

Yeah I do stuff like that too eg thinking 'I just have to do this so I've got something to write in my journal' lol.

Yeah, usually I feel like I have to be in it long enough to actually do something in oder to count it. Unless there is something significant about the brief moment. Then I will count it. like the next bear dream I had. I got Lucid again, but it ended pretty quickly.

Yeah, I've done this too. It's always weird being somewhere after I've been there in a LD.

Cool you know what I meant then. It was pretty weird. Especially with the dream so fresh in my mind.

Great dreams man!

Thanks!

Bear dreamsign recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

This one was pretty brief, but I decided to count it as a reward for getting Lucid from a bear dream. And doing so again, is significant.

I'm in the yard. I think it's supposed to be of my house. But it's not quite the same. There are some elements that are the same, such as the yard is surrounded by trees.
In real life there are power-lines that go behind my house, so it's kind of woodsy back there.
The power-lines continue down to the railroad tracks. The railroad tracks go through the park preserve near my house. So sometimes I get wildlife from the park traveling behind my house, and sometimes into the yard. Mostly a lot of deer.

Anyway, I'm in the yard. I hear this high pinched chirping. I look around and I notice the sound is coming from a small hole in the grass. I'm look and see a baby bird down there. It's chirping to be fed. for some reason I know that something had happened to it's mother and it won't be coming back to take care of it. I start looking around for some bugs or something, to try and feed the baby bird.

Just then I notice that my dog has started going nuts, barking at something. I figure that there must be some animal around. I grab my dog and pull her towards the house. But as I do, I see a dark shape out of the corner of my eye. I look that way and see a bear! It's a fairly small bear again, but it is standing, and scratching on one of the small trees in the yard. Oh my god! it's happening for real this time!

I know I should do an RC, but believing that this time it's real my first priority is to get my dog in the house. I get to the door and it's locked! Crap, The bear is slowly making it's way in our direction now. I fumble with the keys, and surprisingly, I get the door unlocked pretty quickly. I get both of us inside and shut the door.

Immediately I pinch my nose and can breath through it easy. (I have not done a nose RC while awake since the last time that it didn't work.)

Lucid Instantly, I leave the dog in the house as I step back outside. The bear is now just laying in the grass. I wonder if I should go hug the bear again, or try something different this time. As I stand there trying to decide what to do next, the dream slips away.

I think I just woke up because I was sleeping very lightly.

Lucid Dream # 27 of 2009
Spontaneous Lucidity

for some reason recall wasn't the best for most of the night. But I did mange to get Lucid in the end.

I was having some weird adventure dream about being lost in some exotic underground cave system. Can't remember a lot of details about first part of it.

Then, I find myself in some kind of room. It's not really like a cave anymore. There is a trap door on the floor. And a creepy vibe in the air. I watch as this odd looking man opens the trap door. The mans skin is white. Not pale, but really chalky looking. He has a round face with a little bit of patchy light colored hair. He is mostly bald. He doesn't really look quite fully human either.

The man descends the stairs. I look down there. It looks like a basement. There is a plain wooden work bench near the bottom of the stairs. The creepy man has a bunch of tools, and is working at the bench. ( I'm not sure at what.) I watch him working for a few seconds.

Then as I'm watching him Lucidity just spontaneously washes over me. Wow, I'm dreaming! It feels weird to me that I just got lucid so easily, and I wonder at it.
I then descend the stairs. I face the chalk colored man and and ask, "Where are we?"
He looks at me and says something like." Wham ham bam!" Hmm,what kind of place is that I wonder. He then says, "Yukon!" Oh cool I think to myself. We are in the Yukon. That makes more sense.

On the work bench I see a pile of very large nails. They are at least six inches long. I notice that the man has a hammer hanging from a tool belt around his waist. I then get this wonderful idea. To the creepy man, I say. " I want you to nail my hand to the top of the work bench" The man seems excited about this idea, and happily removes his hammer from his belt, then reaches for one of the long nails. I put my hand palm facing down on the table. The man takes the nail and holds the point onto the back of my hand, then hesitates. He must have thought that I was just kidding. I say, " Seriously, do it. I want you to nail my hand to the table." I guess he believes me now, because he swings the hammer, hitting the head of the nail. The nail sinks into my hand a bit. Then he hits it again, and the nail goes all the way through, and sticks into the table.

Just then my sister comes walking down the steps. I now get an even better idea lol.
I say to my sister, "Check this out." I then say to the man. "Now I want you to take another nail and push it through the side of my nose." The man picks up another nail. For just a second here I get slightly nervous about this one. But then hold to my faith that it's no problem at all, and let him proceed.

The man pushes the point of the nail up against the side of my right nostril and begins to apply force. The nail slowly slides through. It doesn't hurt at all, I can definitely feel it sliding through. My sister freaks out just a little, saying "Oh my god!"

Then the nail is through. I stand there for a moment with my hand still nailed to the table, and a nail through my nose like some kind of weird nose ring. Then the dream slips away.

Yes, I'm a strange one.

Lucid Dream # 28 of 2009
Spontaneous Lucidity

I'm on an Star Trek style star ship. Something was going on where some weird alien race had been taking over the minds of the crew, using them to do their bidding unknowingly. Almost like they were hypnotized. I remember some smaller fighting ships taking off to do something for these aliens. I'm unsure of what my particular role was in this dream. I was just there, and all this crazy stuff was going on around me.

The captain of the ship is a woman. I'm on the bridge, and the captain has one of the aliens up on the big view screen. She is talking with this alien when I start to become aware that I'm dreaming. My Lucidity is the kind of natural low level kind that I have more often than I mention. I know that this is not real, but the full comprehension has not yet set in.

I walk up to the captain and randomly start to fondle her, then walk away. The captain looks at me with an expression of pure shock that I would do such a thing. I then get a little confused, wondering why I thought I could get away with doing that. Then I remember. Oh yeah, it's because I'm dreaming! And I'm now fully Lucid. I actually start to jump up and down with excitement.

I then walk up and stand before the alien that's up on the huge view screen. I can't remember exactly what it looked like, but it was a humanoid type. The bridge is really noisy for some reason. Lots of people, and computer equipment with all sorts of flashing lights. I'm not sure what everyone was doing, but they were making a heck of a lot of noise. I lean forward making a weird face at the alien. And I then shout as loud as I can, as to be heard over all the commotion. " Take me to your leader!" (couldn't help being a smart ass, lol.)

I then get this weird idea that all this noise in my dream could be heard in the waking world. (as if my ears are working as speaking lol) And I think maybe I shouldn't shout so loud. This idea actually kind of confuses me, and I just stand there thinking about the possibility for a few moments. Until the dream slips away.

Lucid Dream # 29 of 2009
Malfunctioning device recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

This was a very brief one at the end of a really long dream.

I had just moved into a new apartment, there were a bunch of friends there with me.
The only person there that I know in real life was my brother. We were all getting ready to go to some rock concert. My friends were all in the process of leaving the apartment, to the car. I was the last one, and I was going around trying to turn the lights off. I would flip a switch down, and the light would go off. I would then go and do the same to another light. But then the the light that I had just previously turned off would be on again. Confused thinking that maybe I didn't really turn it off. But this happens with every light. So on the last time, I look to see if the switch has also been flipped up again. Sure enough, the switch that I had just flipped down, had been flipped back up.

This is a little creepy to me, and I realize that I am not going to be able to get all the lights shut off. So I just follow my friends out into the hall. There is a girl near the apartment door still. When I see her, I say, " I think my apartment may be haunted." I then start explaining to her what was going on with the lights. As I'm explaining what was happening, I remember that lights doing weird things is a classic dreamsign.

As I reach up to pinch my nose and RC, The girl knows what I'm doing and says,"Oh god." And rolls her eyes. But when I try to breath through my pinched nose. I can.
My eyes widen in surprise, and I say " I can breath! This has to be a dream!" I think back through all the stuff that has happened, and am amazed that it all was a dream. (I had been sleeping for ten hours and this was a really long REM period.)

I'm still just slightly unsure though, and decide to follow events for a moment, before doing another type of RC, to really make sure it is. So I turn around and start locking my apartment door. And I think about Laberge's comment in his book. " If you find yourself seriously wondering if your dreaming, you probably are!"

As I finish locking the door I'm surprised by how well the locking mechanism works.
And I here the girl ask," What if this really is a dream? " And I say, " Oh, I really think it is!" Then the girl and I begin walking down the hall to make our way outside.
I'm about to try pushing my finger through my hand to really confirm it. Looking forward to getting outside and really getting this Lucid going. But then I abruptly wake up.

Not sure why I didn't think about looking at my watch. I've done nothing but watch RC's for almost a month now. I have not even done a finger through hand RC in a dream in a long time, but for some reason I could remember to do that. And I never do those while awake. Probably just a matter of getting more used to the watch thing.
reprogramming my brain is a slow process it seems.

Cool dream.

Wow.. I see what you mean. Funny coincidence that we both thought this in our lucid dreams on the same night.

Yeah, after my nose pinch test failed back in February I switched to the digital watch check and it took me three whole weeks before I finally looked at my watch in a dream. So don't worry, it will eventually happen. What I found helped is to spend time during the day and right before you go to bed thinking about how much you want to look at your watch during a dream

I know, pretty weird. I only thought of that maybe two other times while dreaming.

Yeah, I have to remember how long it took me just to do nose RC's in dreams. It was a couple of months I think, before I did the first one. Before already being Lucid that is. I know I did it a couple of times after becoming Lucid, to see what it was like. Well last night I did a nose RC again. At least the good thing is that if I'm not doing them while awake, I know they will work when I do them in my dreams. Just not a very good chance of doing random ones that way. I'll try what you say. I do have a vague memory of looking at my watch last night. I remember it said, 1:00. But I don't think I did a proper RC, looking away and looking back again.

Lucid Dream # 30 of 2009
Telekinesis dreamsign recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

I never woke up from my nap today. I slept from about 4:30 pm to 1:30 am
The first half of the sleep period recall really sucked. But then I started having some really fun long dreams. I had a great skiing adventure dream, that eventually turned into the dream that I became Lucid in. Was pretty short again though. But it was significant.

after a lot of skiing stuff, I end up at S's apartment from work. She is making this elaborate Mexican dinner. This part of the dream is very long as well. It seemed like we were working on the food, and eating, forever. We are now sitting at a table in her kitchen, across from each other. I'm using a fork to eat this delicious plate of Mexican food. When I notice a spoon, floating, all on it's own, next to my plate. I'm like WTF, and I realize that I'm inadvertently using telekinesis, causing the spoon to levitate. I then concentrate on the spoon, and it flys out of control into the air, then comes back down, and I catch it between two fingers.

"Wholly crap! Did you see that?" I say to S in surprise. But I realize that she was looking away at that moment and didn't notice. So I show her. I reach out with my mind and use TK on the spoon again. I levitate it into the air between us. It begins to flip end over end really fast. Then I lose control of it and it flys out of control across the room, to bounce off a wall. S is surprised by this, and I then start levitating other things off the table, with a bit better control.

To S I say, "Telekinesis is real! I'm able to do this because I use telekinesis in my dreams so often that it's now carries over into the waking world!" But when I say this I realize that this is most likely a dream too. And without pausing I say to S " you know, every time I have ever thought that my TK skills has carried over into the waking world, it has turned out to just have been a dream after all." And that would make sense, because I would likely never be at your place having dinner in real life either. I reach up and do a nose RC just to confirm it. I can breath easy, and I'm both excited it's a dream, and disappointed that my TK isn't real.

I say to S. " I have been wanting to be Lucid in a dream with you for a long time now." (I was once before, but wasn't Lucid enough to remember, and pay attention to that at the time.) "Why?" She asks "Oh, I'm sure you well know why," I say, I then lean across the table to kiss her, but before our lips even touch, the dream slips away from me.

S has brought up getting together with me outside of work several times. But stupid me has always turned her down.

Lucid Dream # 31 of 2009
Lucidity trigger difficult to define

This is a kind of weird one I had in a nap. Kind of hard to describe.
It starts out that there is some guy telling me a story about something that happened to him. He is telling me about being on some plane, and is about to jump out of the plane with a parachute.

As he describes what is going on, the dream kind of splits, so that it's kind of like I'm in two places at once. I am both on the plane with him, and yet, still in a room talking with him. The part of me that is on the plane becomes aware that it's a dream. The main part of my awareness kind of drifts back and forth between the two scenes a few times. So that even though both scenes are taking place at once, sometimes I am more focused in one than the other. I remember explaining to the man that what he is describing is a dream, and that sky diving is a classic dreamsign. eventually the dream just becomes one scene. The both of us are on a plane, and we jump out. I don't actually remember jumping very well. The next really clear memory is of falling through the sky, tumbling end over end a a couple of times. Then free falling backwards while looking up at the man who has jumped after me. And beyond him, I can see the plane. I hold out my fist, giving the guy the thumbs up signal. I then relax and lean backwards, letting myself fall end over end again. But then I soon I wake up.

Yesterday I had close call moment when I was having a dream that I was shopping.
When I went through the check out, the cashier tells me that I get a special discount on my purchase because I was seen doing reality checks. (I guess the discount was supposed to be some kind of reward for doing reality checks.) Then after she says this I try to do a watch RC, but it didn't work out. I was trying to watch RC while paying for my stuff and talking to the cashier about reality checking. And I couldn't see the numbers on my watch very well. Then I got distracted by other events and forgot about trying to RC.

Lucid five different times last night, but all of them too brief to bother with counting.

I had a DC I was talking to on a phone tell me that I was dreaming.
I didn't believe him at first, and argued about it. But then slowly realized it was true.

I'm planning to start working harder at WILDing again. I did it a couple of times last night. I'll post any of the more interesting ones if I have the time for it.

Brilliant! That must have been such a cool moment of enlightenment. It's always awesome when you really really think it's real life and then slowly realize "hang on a sec..."

So cool

I hope you do post your WILDs, Ceradon. They're some of the best around.

Yeah, it was weird. It was much like when I try to get DC's Lucid. Only this time it was the other way around.

Thanks for the encouragement Robot! I didn't realize my WILDs were all that great. Most times I just enter a scene, look around a little bit, then slide back awake. Sometimes interesting things happen though. I recently had a couple that inspired me to start working at them again.

I think I'll post this one here. But most of My WILD attempts I will post in my other journal, so I don't clutter this one up with stuff that I won't be counting. I'm all excited about this awesome new tent I just bought at Gander Mountain. Making it hard to concentrate.
Getting excited about new things is never good for my dreaming. I won't even get the chance to try setting it up until Tuesday. The reviews say it's a little tricky to set up, so hopefully I will be able to get it set up without help.

Todays WILD attempt

I enter a scene Lucid. I'm flying along side a row of houses. I'm watching the houses as I fly past them. For some reason I feel like I have a little bit of an understanding of how this scene was formed. It was kind of like a feeling that formed into the image. I decide to see if I can change the scene. I'm not even sure how to describe what I do exactly, but I make the scene shift. The scene shifts to a very similar one. I'm still flying along a row of houses, but I can tell it's a different place. A couple of times I shift scenes this way. Each time it's the same thing, but a different place.

But then when I try to shift scene again,(I know this sounds weird.) I get this square box shape feeling. The box feeling forms into an image, and I'm now standing in the kitchen of a house with a box of cereal in my hand. I look at the box of cereal for a moment.(Can't remember exactly what it looked like, other than it was the shape of a box of cereal, and I remember the way it felt as I held it.)

But then the next thing I know, I'm back to flying along a row of houses. But this time as I watch the houses go by they are very faint. And as I watch them, I am unsure if I am actually seeing them, or just imagining them. But then I slowly slide back awake.
Once fully awake again I realize that I was actually seeing them.

Ghostbusters
some Lucidity
Monday/July/20/2009

Even though I'm not counting this one, I wanted to post it here because I was Lucid after all. Partially at first.

I'm in a car with a couple of people. There is some girl in the car that can see supernatural things that most others can not. We are driving in the direction of some haunted lodge, getting farther, and farther, into the country. The girl is terrified, she does not want to go to the place that we are going. She knows something evil is there.

We make it to this lodge, and can see that the front door has been broken down. It seems ominous, and we consider leaving. there are three people in an upstairs window that see us. Two of them smile and wave for us to come in. But the third, is shaking his head and trying to warn us away. There are huge windows on the front of the building. No longer in the car, I can see grotesque ghostly bodies form and push up against the windows staring out at us.

At that sight, I'm about to turn and leave. But just then a truck pulls up. A bunch of people dressed in black, and carrying machine guns jumps out. and they urge us to move inside. We enter, and are in a hall with some of the armed people getting ready to open some door.

I have a sudden realization, and at the same time I start to become partially Lucid here. "I know who you people are!" I say to the gun people. I start singing the Ghostbusters song. I have no fear at all. I think the situation is kind of funny. they get the door open and we enter a room. I say to the Ghostbusters." I've seen this movie before. And I think you should know that you all are going to die." Then I say, " Wait a minute, this is a different version of the movie. Maybe some of you will live this time." I laugh, thinking this to be a fine joke. Even though part of me is still thinking of this as being a movie, I start thinking about how I'm going to describe this in my Journal.

Then I follow the Ghostbusters into a room. There is a bed with a man laying on it.
We all circle the bed, and the the ghost busters are trying to get the man to wake, to ask him some questions. At this point I would say that I'm fully Lucid. Because as I stand there waiting for the man to wake up and be questioned. I realize that I should do something else, because just standing here may cause me to wake up. But I'm still curious to find out what the man says. But I decide t turn and leave anyway. As I do, I wake up.

Lucid Dream # 32 of 2009
Reality check induced Lucidity

This one took place during the first time I pushed snooze this morning. I was dreaming about a lot of weird stuff that I think continued after I pushed the snooze button. there seemed to be too much going on for the time period.

After a bunch of other weird stuff, I end up in this cartoon world. The cartoon world stuff was so weird that I won't be able to describe it very well. But there was some talking ducks that I was thinking of as people I know. Towards the end of it we were all swimming in some cartoon water. There were a lot of crocodiles. The crocodiles became sharks. A shark had one of my duck friends in it's mouth. I attack the shark, wrapping my arms around it's neck, and trying to force it to spit out my friend.

While I'm wrestling with this shark I begin to hear a voice talking to me, and I slowly wake up. (False awakening.) My sister is in my room talking to me, and her voice woke me. I begin to describe to her this weird dream I was just having. In the process of describing the dream I wake up again. What the heck! I was still dreaming and I didn't know it. I had better reality check this time.

I look at my watch twice, and see that the numbers have changed. But it was just the seconds number changing like it was supposed to. But then I notice how weird all the numbers look, and realize that I just had another false awakening. The numbers are all different sizes. The far left number was really big, and each number to the right was smaller than the last. I stare at my watch thinking about how strange it looks. Expecting to wake up any second, I think that I'll just lay here and stare at my watch. and get more used to looking at it in a dream.

But then I think, wait a minute, I may have a countable Lucid going on here! I should get up and do something. I'm a little worried about getting out of bed, thinking the sudden movement may cause me to wake. I gently pull back the covers and cautiously get out of bed. I'm completely naked. (Wasn't really sleeping naked.) I'm aware that I'm on snooze time, and I expect to be woken by my alarm at any moment.

Still thinking that my sister is in the house, I decide to walk upstairs to the living room naked, and see if she freaks out. I make my way to the stairs, but now I hesitate. Wait a second, what if this really isn't a dream. everything seems so real, I can't really tell for sure. The house looks exactly the same as real life, and it feels like real life too. The only thing I can do is trust the reality check. I start to walk upstairs, but hesitate again. I pinch my nose and I can breath. Then I think, what If I go up there and then wake up in the room naked. But then I remember that when I wake up I'll be in a different place, so it's all good.

I make my way upstairs, and see my sister in the kitchen doing something, I don't remember what. She looks my way, but then just kind of ignores me. For some reason I'm still doubting myself, and I try to notice if this feels any different from waking life. But I can't notice any difference. If there is any it's very slight. But then I remember that if I was really awake, there would be no doubt about it. I do another nose reality check, and can still breath.

For some unknown reason, I know that my sister has a friend staying over night too. And I make my way to the room where she is sleeping. I enter the room, and she is just waking up. (I don't know this person in real life, but in the dream she was a familiar friend of my sisters.)

She is sitting on the side of the bed, wearing only some kind of white night shirt, and panties. She has long dark hair. here hair is all messed up from sleeping, and her shirt is wrinkled too. But she looks very attractive that way. I'm aroused now, and she is just sitting there staring at my nakedness. "You sure look good when you first wake up in the morning," I say to her. She smiles at me and starts to lay back on the bed in invitation.

Her lack of negative reaction to me showing up naked in her room unexpectedly, reassures me that this really is a dream, and I make my way to the bed. I climb up, and over the top of her, then slip out of the dream. before I can even try to kiss her or anything. Oh well... wasn't expecting much anyway. And looking at my alarm clock it was about to go off too.

A Lucid Dream
Date Unknown
Anxiety induced Lucidity

This is one that I had back in the days when I still thought Freddy Krueger was scary. I think it was a real turning point in my ability to face and overcome nightmares. I've been carrying it around in my head forever. It's about time it got written down.

The first thing I remember is flying disembodied across this desolate wasteland. In the mist of this wasteland, I come across this towering statue of Freddy Krueger. I am in his realm now.

Scene shifts and I'm now inside this statue of of Freddy. I'm in a long corridor and the walls on each side are lined with doors. I must pick a door and enter. I know that Freddy is aware of me, and is lurking as some invisible entity. I'm very afraid, and begin opening doors. Each time, I close it, and pick another. Because each door leads to a world of fear and horror ruled by Freddy Krueger, and I can not bring myself to enter. But each door I look into is scarier than the last. Until I come to that final door.When I look into this place, the waves of evil emanating from it are so powerful. And I think I'm about as terrified as any person could ever be.

Then, Lucidity washes over me in a wave of instant relief. I step back from the door, and shout. " This is my dream Freddy! You have no power here!" Then, suddenly, Freddy is standing before me. He laughs at my newly found confidence, and holds up this most outrageous looking rifle. He tells me that it does not matter that I know I'm dreaming. Because he has specially designed this weapon to destroy even those who are aware they are dreaming.

For a moment I believe him. I start to lose my resolve and begin to turn and run. But then I stop myself, take a deep breath, and reaffirm my belief that there absolutely nothing in a dream that can harm me.

I then walk right up to Freddy and take the barrel of that bizarre looking rifle in my hands. And say, "Do your worst." I then put the barrel in my mouth, inviting Freddy to pull the trigger. He does so, I feel a slight none painful something, then nothing. I remove the rifle from my mouth enjoying the priceless look of surprise on Freddy's face.

Can't remember anything after that. The dream probably ended shortly.

Lucid Dream # 33 of 2009
Lucidity trigger unknown

Already Lucid in my first memory of this dream. I'm high in the air, running across the tops of buildings. The buildings themselves are of differing sky scraper heights. I begin leaping off the roofs, doing flips through the air and landing on other roofs. There isn't much to tell about this dream. It was just an experience in acrobatic joy. The tallest building had a plank hanging over the edge. I kept using it as a diving board, landing on it, and using it to spring me into the air. Another lower building had this large wine bottle looking thing sprouting from the roof. Many times I sprang off that diving board to flip through the air. Then land on one foot balancing on the near by wine bottle roof. I could see cars driving by far below, and I felt as if I was showing off to the world. At one point I begin to fly, circling the area. Then tuck into a ball, spinning towards the next roof top. As I spin in my tuck, I look out to the side, to get the full experience of spinning as I fall. I land again, and begin my running acrobatics a new. I think, maybe I should do something else in this dream. But I discard the idea. I'm having so much fun I'm going to continue my stunts until I wake. I eventually wake.
