Thread: Caradon's Lucid Dreams

Several close calls last night, and A WILD that was probably countable but I don't want to count it.

# 1
I was showing off demonstrating the power the of mind over matter. I was pushing my finger into solid objects. At one point I sank my finger into the wall, and then pushed my entire hand in. The wall around my hand became sort of like a liquid with rippling waves rolling outward away from my hand. It was kind of cool.

#2
I was watching TV. There was a kid on a bike riding fast up the side of a mountain.
when he reached the mountains peak he didn't stop, he jumped off the mountain. He flew high into the sky, and I said."woohoo this is a dream.!" But I didn't say it for myself, I said it for him lol. I told the person with me that I know exactly how that feels because I just had two Lucid dreams where I got Lucid that way.

# 3
I wake up from my nap, and I'm laying there thinking about the dreams I just had when I look at my watch to see what time it is. It says 3:17 pm. I get confused and think " how can it be 3:17pm when I went to sleep at 5:30 pm" then, hey this is a dream!. But I was to close to the waking state and woke up.

I had one other close call but it was too strange to describe.


WILD
I had a very strong focus while trying to wild. I literally was able consciously pull myself into the dream state. I dug right through the layers of blackness until they became a kind of solid. And I was able to grasp onto something with my mind pulling myself deeper into the dream. It felt a lot like using TK to pull myself in.
And at one point a group of DC's appeared and grabbed me helping to pull me in.
and at that point a thought of Moonbeam and her grabbing DC's. But they didn't really bother me.

I then drift in and out of HI Lucid several times before entering a scene Lucid.

I enter a room with a little boy and his mom. I start showing off by running loops up the walls and across the ceiling. I stop and watch as the little boy has these numbers that he sticks to the wall. he sticks them in a vertical line starting at the floor rising up the wall. His mom walks up to me and I admire how nice looking she is. She has dark wavy hair, slim body, and a cute face. I start to think about how long I've been in this WILD now and it slips away from me.

A very brief moment of Lucidity
I was having a crazy adventure dream, and I found myself in a scene from a book I'm reading. It should have been a scary moment, but I wasn't scared, I was excited.

I'm thinking how amazing it is that this place looks exactly how I imagined it in the book. Then I say to myself," I can't believe I'm really here!" Then I remember saying that in another dream earlier this month, that I got Lucid in. where I thought I was in a world from a book. So I decide to do a reality check to see if this is a dream too.

I pinch my nose and I can breath! I become Lucid right away, but I wake up a couple seconds later. Shucks!

A WILD that would have probably been the most successful one I ever had. But... the alarm clock ruined it

After getting up to use the bathroom, I lay back down to sleep. I knew there was only a short time before my alarm went off though.

I enter a dream Lucid. there is a man with a gun pointed at me but I pretty much ignore him. I continue to repeat, "this is a dream," over and over. Like I was as I fell asleep.( I was just concentrating, trying to hold that thought.) I start walking towards the man with the gun, hardly paying attention to him. and saying that over and over.
as I approach the gunman, my alarm starts going off..

I push snooze a couple of times trying to do it again but I don't succeed.

Damn, you have a lot of lucid dreams! I enjoy normal dreams almost as much as lucid ones, but I still wish I could LD that frequently.

And to answer your question, the xenomorphs I'm refering to are the ones in the Alien films. I saw Alien: Resurrection when I was 7-ish and they've been in my dreams since. After a while I just learned to like the bastards...

Have you got any recurring monsters like that? I've read a few of your entries but there's no way I'm reading through six whole pages to find out, after just getting home from my course.

Thanks. Yeah I Love my normal dreams too. But I have to admit, I wish I could be Lucid in every dream. I have another journal that is full of all my dreams. But for the moment I'm just posting Lucids to save me some time.
My other journal is probably a few pages back by now.

Yeah I figured you were talking about those aliens. In the second Alien movie someone describes them as an indigenous life form that gestates inside a living human host. I love those movies. I saw the second one in the theater when I was a kid. and it scared the crap out of me. I've loved them every since. One of my most recent entries in here just a few posts up. #126 I had a moment of Lucidity while being attacked by a queen alien. I caught her while fishing.

he he, I get attacked by all sorts of things. I'm kind of known for my animal attack dreams. Oneironaut started a thread called "when dream animals attack," in general dreaming after reading some of my journal. I've been posting most of my animal attack dreams there. I guess the most common monster I get is bears. But I get a wide range.

Lucid Dream # 47 of 2008
Anxiety/spontaneous Lucidity

It's hard to describe the first part. There was some really weird stuff going on. But At first I was just watching. I believed I was watching events from some Brian Lumley story. It took place in ancient Egypt and there were all sorts of really weird looking creatures with glowing eyes, and people dressed in the strangest outfits, and Egyptian stone structures, like pyramids. And I could hear Brian Lumleys voice narrating. I was thinking about how strange his voice sounds. So much different than what I would have ever imagined.

The first describable part is that I'm a part of some procession of oddly dressed Egyptian people. Making our way out of a pyramid. The pyramid has automatic sliding doors. They open and we all file out.

Now I am actually some type of creature, and I have great climbing skills. My hands and feet can stick to surfaces. I climb the outside of the pyramid we just exited. But once I get high above ground the whole scene changes. And it's no longer ancient Egypt. But some type of dark Gothic place. I'm climbing across the steep angular rooftops of these towering mansion/castles. I climb up over the peak of one of the roof tops and look down.

I'm on a structure so tall, that it seems the rooftop peaks of the next castle over is thousands of feet below me. And that structure itself is thousands of feet high. the actual ground is ridiculously far below. My fear of heights suddenly sets in, and I begin to experience some serious dizzying vertigo, and terror.

I try to back track my steps but the is nowhere to go. the drop behind me is sheer to the ground. And the roof I'm on is steep, and I no longer feel that I can easily stick to it. Right about here I become Lucid. But Lucidity just kind of slowly fades in. and my terror of falling is so great, That I don't easily shake it off. But I look down over the edge of the roof contemplating my situation. I think back to all the free falling Lucids I've had, and how much I love jumping from high places. And I know that there is no danger. But I guess my Lucidity is still a little low, because I am still terrified of the drop.

But I force myself to get over it, and I decide to leap from the roof. As I crouch and begin to spring off, I'm so scared I'm nearly sick to my stomach. But then I'm airborne and all fear is instantly gone with the familiar sensation of dream flight. Relief washes over me as my Lucidity is now complete. I don't even fall, even though I'm not really trying to fly. It's like there is no gravity and I just float there.

Then I just kind of make swimming strokes. And I swim along through the sky looking down at the ground below, enjoying the feeling of being Lucid, and just relaxing after that intense shock I just had. This lasts about a minute before I wake up.

Lucid Dream # 48 of 2008
Spontaneous Lucidity
Advanced Lucid task completed

The first thing I remember well is that I was riding a train. Something doesn't feel right about the train to me. I have the feeling there is something wrong with the train and it will derail. Because it doesn't seem to be riding smoothly on the tracks. I decide I will jump off the train before it crashes.

I don't remember actually jumping off but I'm now on the side of the tracks, which is actually on a train bridge. I'm watching the train as it rides away, and I can see that a couple of the cars in the rear, are not connected properly to the rails. The train gets past the bridge, and then the cars all begin to derail and are piling up on each other, creating big mess. The engine goes off the tracks too, but does not stop. The driver can't stop the trains momentum, and the train goes tearing across the countryside pulling a few of the remaining cars behind it. Destroying a few structures as it plows through them.

I begin walking back the way I had come. the bridge is pretty high up and I'm trying to decide how to get down when I think."Since this is a dream I can just jump down." It's kind of strange. It's like I knew it was a dream the entire time, but I just now fully comprehended it.

I leap off the bridge, and near by is a telephone pole with a metal cable connected to the side of it, and attached to the ground for support. So it's at an angle. I land on my feet on this cable. The cable bends downward in the middle where I landed on it.
Then it springs taught again launching me high into the air. I rise above tress and houses and I can see fluffy white clouds in the sky. I also see many power-lines around me, but none hinder me in anyway.

I'm thrilled by this, and I do a back flip as I fall back down and land again on the wire, letting it spring me back into the air like I'm on a trampoline. I spend some time doing this over and over, and I'm practicing my back flips, trying to get the right tuck and form. (Like it matters in a dream lol.) At one point my foot hits an over hanging tree branch as I'm spinning like a ball.

Eventually I land on the ground. I'm on a dirt trail surrounded by trees and green vegetation. It's not a forest exactly though. There are houses near by. I see a small white dog just standing in the middle of the trail staring at me. I look at it for a moment, then begin walking. I now think about doing one of my personal tasks, but I then remember the Lucid task of the month. I wanted to try eating a color.

I look to the ground and see a small green plant with a few leaves, about the size and shape of a spinach leaf. I get on my hands and knees and lean over the plant, focusing on one leaf in particular. As with everything in this dream, the leaf is so detailed it's amazing. Part of one edge of the leaf has even turned a little yellow.

I want to try and make the green color come off the leaf and into my mouth. I open my mouth and gently and slowly inhale trying to will the color to flow off the leaf to me. The leaf itself begins to kind of stretch in my direction, and I notice small greenish yellow light particles rise from the leaf in a swirl and come towards me.

I breath them in, there is no taste or texture at all. And the leaf is still sitting there just as green as ever. That's not exactly what I had intended, so, feeling like I had failed the task, I get up and continue walking. Then, thinking of what to try next I wake.

In an hour nap.
I'm not going to officially count this one though.

I'm fishing off the shore of a wide river that is between steep rocky cliffs. It's a nice place and I'm enjoying being here. I get a bite on my line and I try to pull it in. It's a very strong fish though. It fights so hard that I can not real it in. I may as well have the hook caught on an under water rock or something. I'm straining as hard as I can, and expecting the line to break at any moment.

But then I start to make progress, and the fish gets closer. I'm wondering what kind of thing I have caught. The head of the thing breaks the surface. I can see that it's one of the aliens from the "Aliens" movies. It continues to rise from the water, and it has a long neck like a sea monster. the neck sways back and forth, and it's lips draw back dripping slime from it's mouth.. It screams an ear piercing shriek. and I'm not even scared at this point. because I think it is confined to the water.

But the thing begins to rise even higher from the water. I begin to back away. I look behind me and see a corridor between the cliffs. I look back towards the alien and see that it's a queen, and I'm puny in comparison. It steps out of the water and begins charging at me shrieking terrifyingly

I turn to run and I think" Oh god, I don't think I like this dream!" When I say those words I become Lucid, and I feel like I've sort of known it was a dream the whole time. But I'm still not quite fully Lucid. I'm a bit confused and disoriented and still very much afraid. I realize I should not still be afraid. But the disorienting feeling I have in the process of becoming fully Lucid with this terrifying monster quickly bearing down on me, has things feeling a bit out of control. I scramble up some rocks trying to buy myself some time to get my head on straight, so I can get control of the situation. But as I climb the rocks I wake up.

Oh, that's the dream you were talking about
Amusing! I don't think I've dreamt of the queen before... just her freakin' minions...

Sorry about the late reply I was at the cabin for a couple of days.

Ha, yeah, That was a funny one. I've had a couple of queen dreams. I had a Polar bear attack dream the other night, but I never had the time to properly record it.

Lucid Dream # 49 of 2008
Lucidity trigger unknown

An odd short little Lucid. My Lucidity level was fairly low except for a short period of it.

I'm already aware I'm dreaming in my first memory of the dream. I'm standing at the bottom of a towering rock face, looking up. All I want to do is to do a back flip off the top of that massive rock wall. I look behind me and there are some people there. I tell them what I intend to do. One person tells me to go for it. I look back to the rock wall and things have changed without me even noticing.

I'm no longer looking up the face of a cliff, but I'm inside a building with a high ceiling. My cliff has become a fat pipe running up the length of the wall. I grab the pipe with both hands, then I jump up putting one foot on each side of the pipe up against the wall. Then I climb the wall using the pipe like a rope.

I make my way to the top. Once there I want to stand on top of the pipe to do a back flip off it. Bit there is not enough room between the top of the pipe and the ceiling. There is just a few inches of space.

At this point I'm at my highest level of Lucidity. I lean backwards and relax. I then let go of the pipe and let myself fall. As I turn upside down I catch myself with my mind, using TK I levitate myself up to the ceiling. Until I'm standing upside down on the ceiling. I walk across the ceiling this way listening to the comments of the DC's below.

I then leap from the ceiling doing a flip in the air, and landing on my feet on the floor.(I want to try this from the floor to the ceiling sometime.)

At this point my perspective shifts and I lose Lucidity. I'm watching Myself as I'm being scolded by some authoritative DC He says that instead of climbing the building I should have used the door. the pipe on the wall has now become a tall building that I had climbed. Even as I watch myself and this DC, I'm wondering at the fact that I have these translucent wings like a dragon flys wings. I wake up while watching this scene.

Lucid Dream # 50 of 2008
Random reality check induced Lucidity

The first thing I remember is that I'm walking towards the entrance of a restaurant, and for no apparent reason I pinch my nose and I can breath! Startled for a moment I do it again to make sure. And I can still breath. Lucid, I continue my way into the restaurant, and I'm blown away by the realism. I see someone I know named Matt. In a jovial mood, I give him a friendly punch in the shoulder and ask him how he is doing. he turns to me with a look of surprised humor on his face, but I don't wait for a reply, I continue into the dinning area.

I feel like making an advance on one of the women, but I'm hesitant, not wanting to make a mistake here to find out I'm not really dreaming. So I take the finger of my right hand and push it as hard as I can into the palm of my left, and twisting as I do it. It takes a moment but my finger begins sinking into my hand. relieved I push it all the way through, and hold up my hands for every one around me to see. One man makes a comment about it, but I don't remember exactly what he said.

I then pull my finger back out of my hand.(I'm really starting to love the way pushing my finger through my hand like that feels)

There is a table nearby with a group of people sitting at it. There is a blond woman sitting with her back to me. (I was recently thinking about smells in dreams, because I had a non Lucid where I was trying to smell gasoline to see if it smelled ok, but it had no smell.)

I walk up to the table behind the women, and I lean in, moving my face in close to her neck. Strands of her hair brush against my face in a very convincing manner. I inhale deeply trying to smell her neck, just below her left ear. I'm pleased to find out that I can distinctly smell her. She is wearing some type of perfume, perfectly applied to mix with her natural scent. It's quite a turn on. Just then she turns in surprise, and everyone else at the table is looking at me surprised as well. I just say,"Mmmmmm you smell pretty." Then I turn and walk away from the table.

I push through the door to the kitchen area. And as I enter the kitchen this perfectly beautiful server walks past me and I turn to check her out. I stand there for a moment thinking about trying something with her. But before I can make up my mind I wake up.

Lucid Dream # 51 of 2008
Lucidity trigger unknown

A very odd and difficult to describe Lucid in my nap. Being sick has caused me to have some really strange dreams all night. This is the only thing I remember from my nap, just before waking up. I'm not even sure at what point I became fully Lucid, so I'm just going to put it all in blue. It's not going to be much anyway, since I can't even really describe it well.

It starts out that I'm playing an online car racing game. I'm playing against one other player, and I can hear his voice talking as we race on a track. We are both racing vans. mine is yellow, his was black. We are racing neck and neck when we come to a curve in the track. I can't control my car well, and I go off the track. Somewhere around this point is when thinking I'm in a video game smoothly fades into the awareness that I'm dreaming.

My opponents car goes off the road as well as mine. We drive far from the road unable to get back for for reason. Two helicopters fly in to carry both our cars back to the track.

(I'm having a strange problem with the spell checker right now, doing reality checks.
No, don't seem to be dreaming. Once the word turns green, it won't go back to normal after turning the spell check off. And it messes up my font's and sizes when I try to fix it.)

Ok as the helicopters fly in, the visual starts getting really strange. the last thing I remember about this part of the dream, is the cars loading into the helicopters. There is a ramp that comes down below them, and the cars go up them.

The visual completely goes wacky and I find myself in some kind of world formed of yellow light. I'm in a room with desks, like a school room. Everything is nothing but yellow light, but I can somehow tell the difference between objects.

I start doing designs in the air with my finger, and streams of yellow light are trailing from my finger as I move my hand through the air. the reason I know for sure that I was fully Lucid at this point, is because I was thinking about how I would describe this dream in my journal when I wake up. And I was thinking about Mark, and how he would like this dream, because he often has light-shows in his Lucids.

Things get even more odd here, because as the dream progresses, I begin a narrative trying to describe the dream in detail. As if I'm already writing it in my journal. As I try to describe what I see,(Which I can't even begin to do now.) My comprehension gets blurred, and I can no longer tell if I'm describing what I see, or if what I'm describing becomes what I see.

As this phenomenon occurs, I start to become separated from the dream. The dream moves farther and farther away from me, until I exit through a TV screen.
I'm now sitting in a normal room in front of a TV. And I'm still trying to describe the dream that is taking place on the screen in front of me. And I'm trying to reconnect myself with that dream as I try to describe it. This goes on for a moment before I wake up.

And I have such a massive headache right now, that I can feel it all the way into my neck and throat. So I'm done with the computer for the night.

Lucid Dream # 52 of 2008
Random reality check induced Lucidity

The first thing I remember is driving my car. It's night, and I keep switching the lights from high beams to low beams when cars come by. The lights work fine, except for the low beams start to seem way to dark, and I hate switching the high beams off because it's too hard to see.

I pull into a parking lot of a mall, and I wonder if they are even open because its the middle of the night. But I see a woman coming out of one of the exits with a bag of merchandise so it must be open.

I park the car and get out, walking across the parking lot and into the store. Once in the store. I hear one woman making a comment to another about how tight her pants are. I find this kind of funny but i then move on.

The store, now looks like I'm inside the Target near my house. I make my way through the DVD section, and I brows through the DVD's. I see " THE HULK"
I pick the DVD up off the shelf and look at the cover. It has an odd cover with white brick walls, and an image of The green Hulk breaking through a wall and flying up into the air. With some rubble of the broken wall falling around him. From the cover I can not tell if this is the most recent HULK movie, or the older one.

I put the movie back, and move on. I start walking past the clothing area, and I do a completely random RC, And I can breath! At first I think I just didn't get my nose pinched right. so I do it again better, and I can breath through my nose. I'm like holy crap, how can this be a dream? I can even remember driving to the store. So I start pushing the finger of my right hand into the palm of my left until it sinks through.

Yup, I'm positive I'm dreaming now. I walk through the clothing area until I'm out in the main lane. With finger still pushed through hand. I see a nice looking woman and I walk up to her. I show her my hand with my finger sticking through it, and I ask,"do you know what this means?" She says "no." I say, "It means I can do this."
And I pull my finger out of my hand and I reach out and cop a little bit of a feel.

She pulls away from me and I let her go. I can see an old man, and old woman staring at me in surprise. I then decide it would be fun to go for a walk naked through Target, and to see the surprised expressions of people. So I start humming a little tune, and doing a little dance. And begin stripping my cloths off, starting with my shoes.

I start to wonder if doing this will cause me to wake up, but I really want to go for a naked walk through Target now, so I keep at it. But like always worrying about waking up caused it to happen. I didn't quite get fully naked before the dream fades.

Lucid Dream # 53 of 2008
Recurring scene recognized
No reality check needed

The first thing I remember is driving in a car on some country road. I'm searching for someone that has been abducted by a serial killer. There is a psychic woman in the car with me. She is describing visual images she is getting of the place where the victim is being held captive.

I see a place that looks like what she is describing, and I pull the car over and get out. there is a small building in the middles of an open field. It's not much bigger than a shed. I enter the place, and it is piled with miscellaneous junk. I know that there is a hidden trap door on the floor somewhere, so I begin moving stuff around. I eventually find the trap door hidden under a pile of junk, and pull it open.

There is a rickety wooden staircase leading down, into a dark basement. I see a hammer laying on one of the steps near the top, and I pick it up thinking to use it as a weapon if the killer comes back before I can get out. I descend the stairs, and once to the bottom I flip a light switch. At this point I become partially Lucid. The light hardly illuminates anything, it's still very dark. And I think about how the light isn't very bright because it's a dream light, and lights don't work quite the same in dreams. But for some reason the full comprehension that I'm dreaming doesn't quite sink in yet.

the basement is very ugly, with crumbling cement walls and cobwebs everywhere. I search my pockets for a lighter or something to try and get more light. There are dark scary places in this basement that I need to go looking through to find the captive person. I also feel that this place is haunted. I'm a little bit afraid, but I'm so determend to rescue this person, that I am able to forget about the fear for the most part and focus on my goal.

This basement seems very familiar to me. (I often dream of dark scary haunted basements.) And I think to myself,"this is my scary basement." Then, full Lucidity washes over me in a wave. And I start say, wow this is a dream over and over. It doesn't last long. I spend a few moments looking around the place in fascination. Because of the realistic detail. I touch the wall with my hand, feeling the texture of the crumbling cement. Small pieces of the wall break away in my hand as I slide it along. As I look around a little more everything fades to black, and I think I have woken. I lay there for a moment with eyes still closed trying to pull myself back into the dream. But I give it up and open my eyes.

I probably could have done it if I had tried a little harder, but it was about time to get up anyway. I should work on trying to pull myself back in when I wake up, because I always wake up from Lucids with my eyes still closed.

I'm not too annoyed about waking up though, I'm just happy to have gotten Lucid three days in a row.

Lucid Dream # 54 of 2008
Random reality check induced Lucidity

I'm in a mall and I'm dirty, and wearing raggedy clothes, like a homeless person. I have this gallon jug of Glenwood spring water I'm carrying around with me as I'm wandering aimlessly around. I'm about to enter one of the shops when I do a random reality check. And I can breath! I'm startled, and I don't believe it's a dream. I try to put my finger through my hand, but I don't try hard enough and it doesn't go through. I pinch my nose again and I can still breath. I walk around pinching my nose and breathing through it for a few moments before I wake up.

Awake, I'm a little frustrated about screwing up a chance to get Lucid again, and I fall right back to sleep. I then have a strange kind of false awakening. As soon as I fall asleep, I reenter the scene I just woke from. Only now I'm sitting on the floor against the wall near where I just was, and I'm waking up.

There is an old friend of mine sitting near by me, and I tell him about how I just about had another Lucid Dream. I describe what happened. And I explain how hard it is to comprehend your dreaming sometimes. I say," just imagine if you were someplace that is just as real as everything around us is right now, and you randomly reach up and pinch your nose like this." I do it, and I'm like WTF, I can breath. I say,"look!" I hold my nose closed and I breath in and out of it several times.

I then try pushing my finger through my hand again. I feel my finger go through, and I think that I'm dreaming for a moment. But then I notice that my finger didn't really go through, it just slipped off the side of my hand.

I give it up, and my friend and I get up and walk out of the mall. Not sure where he came from, but my brother is with us now too. We are walking down the street and having a discussion about getting drunk in public, and how a person is legally responsible for the actions of the people that are with you.

We come to a restaurant, and we start walking across the parking lot. And just as we are about to enter the building, I do another random reality check. I pinch my nose, and I'm like,"damn it, I can still breath. This isn't right!" So I try pushing my finger through my hand again. This time I pay close attention to my hand, and I push as hard as I can, and I see my finger sink through. Lucid, Finally lol.

I was walking into the restaurant as I was pushing my finger through. So we are now all inside. My finger is still sticking through my hand and I show it to my friend and say to him. "This means that there is zero chance that this is not a dream!" Just then, someone bumps into me and says,"excuse me." It's a server, and I had gotten in her way. I move back a little bit, and she unfolds this little stand, setting her tray full of food on it. And begins putting the plates of food out in front of the people sitting at the table right there.

I'm totally weirded out over how realistic that whole moment is. Watching how she reacted to bumping into me, and watching her serve the food to the people at the table. And I think, "Man that's too f***'ing strange."

I then nudge my friend in the should and say,"check this out." I walk up to one of the women sitting at the table. Her back is to me, I tap her on the shoulder and say,"excuse me miss." She turns to me, and I lean in to kiss her on the lips. She leans backwards away from me, so I put my hand behind her head so she can't lean away.
I then give her a long lingering kiss, and paying close attention to how soft her lips feel against mine. It was very amazing. Finally I let her go and start to walk away.

As I start walking away, I hear her make a comment to her friends at the table, about what a lousy kisser I am. She tells them that she needs to give me a lesson in how to give a real kiss. And all her friends start laughing. I wake up as I listen to them laughing.

Their lucky I woke too, I may have just given them a lesson on talking crap about their creator.

The first parts a little too weird, it changes around too much to describe well. So I'm just going over it a little.

I'm standing in front of my big screen TV playing a video game. It's like one of those games you find at the mall, with the big screen in front of you, so it feels like your there.
Like the fun skiing one they used to have.

The theme changes several times, from jet ski, to boat, back to jet ski, then to a car driving game. My car crashes and there are paramedics all around. I am now pulled into the scene. I'm outside the car, and I can see a slumped over body in the driver seat that I know is supposed to be me. There is a female paramedic inside the car, doing something with my body. At this point, the idea that this is a video game smoothly transfers over to me being aware that it's a dream.

Lucid, and curious about what's going on inside the vehicle, I enter it through a side door, that's open. There is a lot of room inside the car, more than what should be normal. The paramedic is nice looking and I lean over to her and begin nibbling on her earlobe. She surprises me by reaching down and massaging my, you know what, through my pants. I just let her do that for a moment, and I think about how realistic her hand feels down there. But what she is doing, causes me to lose all self control, and I decide we are going to get it on. I start working on getting her cloths off, but I end up waking before anything happens.

OK, I need to start leaving the women alone for a while.

Lucid Dream # 56 of 2008
Female RC induced Lucidity
Basic Lucid task attempt

This was the end portion of a longer uneventful dream, so I'm just going to start here. All summer long I've been doing RC's when I see women I like. This is the first time it worked out in a dream. And just yesterday I was thinking about why this RC does not work well for me, and it happened that night. In order for me to do an RC when I see the women, I have to be thinking in sexual terms. In most of my dreams there is some kind of intense drama going on, that keeps my attention away from thinking,"Oh she is hot, do an RC."

I'm walking down the sidewalk along a street. There are many shops along the way, traffic on the road, and lots of people around. And there are a lot of nice looking women. I watch as a car pulls over and some lady gets out and begins walking into a shop. She is wearing shorts, and I'm just watching her walk, checking her out. I pinch my nose, and I can breath. I think," wait a second here." I do it again, and can breath easy.

Remembering the several recent dreams where I didn't want to believe the nose RC, I decide I'm not going to let that happen this time. But I still want to push my finger through my hand, just to be perfectly sure. So I do, and my finger sinks through pretty easy. I think, " cool I'm Lucid again!"

I pull my finger out, and there are some teenagers sitting at a round table outside some fast food place. I walk up to them and say,"look what I can do." And I push my finger through my hand again. They seem mildly impressed by that. I move on, and start climbing the side of the restaurant. It seems kind of impossible, but I know I can do it because it's a dream. The surface of the wall is a white bumpy texture. I somehow find things to grab onto and pull myself up. I can hear a few comments about what I'm doing from the people below.

As I climb, I start to think about things I want to do in my Lucid. I have this strange idea, that I want to pull money out of my wallet and throw it from the roof of the building. And watch the reactions of people, see if they scramble around for it.

But then, I remember Dream Views basic task of the month. (Which is to walk on water.) And I think about if there is any water around. I then remember seeing a river not too far off, and decide I'm going to go for it. I think about maybe throwing the money first, but then give up the idea.

I back flip off the side of the building landing on my feet. And wonder about the best way to make it to the river. I then remember that I can run super fast in dreams so I take off, gaining speed as I go. There is a group of bushes in my way, and I leap over them. I and up catching air, and rising higher and higher. This slows me down, because I'm just kind of floating upwards and not moving forwards much. But I decide to just relax and enjoy it.

with this better view, I can see the river not too far off. there is a busy highway I'm going to have to cross first. I land and make my way across some grass. There are these sprinkler type things shooting thick streams of water through the air in front of me. There is so much water coming out of them, that it's more like a fountain. There is around six of them. I run right through them, and enjoy the realistic feel of the water spraying on me. But it's a little cold, and I wonder how cold the river will be.

I make it to the highway, and think about leaping over the entire thing cars and all. But I then decide I'll just run into the road and see if I get hit by any vehicles. I run out there, but I'm a little disappointed that my timing was too good, and I won't get hit by anything. Half way across the highway, I wake up.

This Lucid is a perfect example of why I decided to quit doing tasks much. As soon as I decided to try for the task, I was stressing out the entire time, afraid I would wake before I could complete it. I enjoyed this dream, but I would have had more fun just doing my own thing. But, I wanted to get the wings and the orange name.

Lucid Dream # 57 of 2008
Spontaneous Lucidity

I have a false awakening. I dream that I wake up in bed in at home. I get up and start walking away from my bed. And I just all of a sudden know that I'm dreaming.
I don't even bother to RC. The first thing I think to do, is get outside. But the heck with the door. I walk into my kitchen with the intent to jump through the window. I'm on the ground floor and my window is about waist high. And the bottom of the window is about level with the ground outside.

The kitchen table is beneath the window, and the blinds are down and closed.( I have those plastic blinds) I do a running leap, jumping over the table with my shoulder leaning to in the direction of the window.

I slam into the closed blinds shoulder first, and I explode through the window, Just shattering the glass. I fall onto the brick patio outside, laying in a pile of broken glass, and pieces of plastic from the broken blinds as well.

I laugh, getting a real kick out of how the window just shattered like that. And how ridiculous I must look, laying there in the broken debris. I get up, it's early morning, and the first thing I think of doing next is finding a female.(Don't know whats gotten into me lately.)

I remember there is a real looker that lives in one of the houses across the street, so I decide to go looking for her. I run across the street and think," hmm what house is it now?" I pick the one I think she is in, then run across the yard and dive head first with hands out in front of me, right into a small basement window.

As I dive towards the window, everything slows down, slow motion like. My fingertips touch the glass, and I phase slowly through. I get through to about my shoulders, and sort of get stuck. It's not like I'm stuck in the glass, it's more like the opening is now too narrow for my body to fit through. and I'm kind of wedged between the sides of the window.

As I'm stuck there, The girl I'm looking for comes into the room below, along with a little boy. It seems they are investigating the sounds I must have made while crashing into the window. They both walk right past me without even noticing me there. the girl walks out of the room, through a different door than which she entered. The boy stops though, then turns and looks right at me. he then turns back, and follows the girl.

I lose Lucidity for a second here. For some reason I think that I had woken up, but I then become Lucid, right away again. I grab the sides of the window, and pull myself right through the side of the wall, into the room. I do a quick nose RC just to be sure, then follow in the direction they went.

I find the girl, and the rest is censored. I'll just say that it lasted long enough for me to enjoy myself a little bit, but I still woke up during the process.

Proud of myself for having a spontaneous Lucid during an FA in my house. Thats usually the hardest time for me to get Lucid.

Nice dreams u got. You have quite a lot. Do you have any sort of special technique u have?

Thanks Soccecr, and thanks for reading!

Yeah, I do a kind of walking meditation as I go about my daily routine. I try to clear my mind of all thought except one. "Is this a dream right now." And I try to see how many things I can be aware of at one time, using all five senses. And I try to hold that state of awareness as long as possible, watching for anything that could be a possible dreamsign. And I pinch my nose a lot to see if I can breath through it. When I'm motivated enough, and doing it well. It triggers a lot of Lucids. It can take a while of doing that to get the Lucids built up though. But once they start coming, they come fast.

Best dreamsign recognized
no reality check needed

There was a little more to it, but I end up at a park with a group of people, playing tennis. There are so many people on each side of the net, that it's almost like playing volley ball. The ball never comes to me and I get bored. The next thing I know I have leaped into the air and started flying. Instantly Lucid, I begin circling the tennis court and shouting down at the players," I'm Lucid again!" I keep repeating this as I continue to swoop around at speed. With each loop around the court I gradually spiral upwards, higher and higher, until I wake.

It was pretty short, but felt really good. The sensation of motion was intense.

Partial Lucidity
Monday/September/15/2008

I'm watching I high definition movie and I step right into the movie. As I enter it, I'm fully aware of what just happened. I know that I am no longer in the real world. I'm in some type of huge mansion, and I'm blown away by the high definition environment. I'm not exactly sure how to describe the intensity of the scene.

everything around me looks as if it's made from marble. The color of the marble is different shades of tans and browns all swirled together. I begin climbing a staircase that circles upwards from landing to landing around the inside walls of the place I am in.

I start out by taking the role of the main character of the movie, and I know that there is some kind of super natural force somewhere at the upper levels of the place, that I'm supposed to confront. I climb and climb, and once to the top I can see down a hall that leads to more upward stairs. At this point I'm close enough to full Lucidity that I could almost make this a countable Lucid.

I realize that the climb upwards will probably never end, and I don't feel I have the time to find out. I now decide to completely deviate from the direction I'm supposed to be taking for the movie. I'm still standing on the main stair case, and I look down over the railing. It's a long drop down through the middle of the stairs I had just climbed. There is a light fixture hanging down from the ceiling over the drop. It's like a hooded lamp, hanging from a cable.

I climb up onto the railing and leap into the air, grabbing the cable of the hanging light fixture. I then sit my ass down on on the top of the hooded lamp, swinging on it like it's some kind of tire swing. I then lean backwards and let myself fall. I free fall, tumbling end over end for many moments, until I land easily on my feet back at the bottom.

I open a door and step out of the movie, back into my house where I started from. I think I woke up right after that. I woke up unsure of how Lucid I was, but it felt like a Lucid Dream.

Lucid Dream # 59 of 2008
Skiing on feet recognized
No reality check needed

Another very brief Lucid. It was again at the tail end of a long dream.

The fun part starts when I'm on a highway bridge at night, with step brother Z, and It's very dark. I can see the lights from a vehicle coming down the road towards us.
There is no way to get out of the way, and it's so dark I don't think that the driver will see us. As it gets closer I can see that it's a semi truck. I begin running, but I know there is no way I can make it to the end of the bridge before the truck hits me.

There is no railing along the edge of the bridge at all. I jump from the side of the bridge and turn to grab the edge of the road. I hang there, but while I hang, my momentum from running has me sliding along. There is something below me that I am able to put my feet against, and I'm cruising down the side of the bridge hanging that way.

My fingers are up over the side of the road and I'm worried that the truck will run them over. The truck passes me just barely inches from my fingers. Once I make it to the edge of the bridge, I let go and drop to an embankment. I land on my feet and begin skiing down the slope, faster and faster. I make it to level ground and I have no way to stop. I come to a cross road and a truck turns right in front of me. I think, " crap, why does he have to come down the road right now!"

I somehow manage to barely avoid hitting the truck and I make it across the road into a field. I'm going so fast, and there are all sorts of obstacles getting in my way. Hay bails and farm equipment. I'm trying so hard not to hit stuff as I ski across the land out of control. Crossing more roads, and just missing more cars.

Finally, I come to a house in the middle of a big grassy yard. I'm able to control my turning easier now, and I just do circles around the house until the energy of my momentum can wear itself out. I gradually slow down and stop. And I see step brother Z come skiing up behind me. he had been following the entire time, and he says something about how cool it was when he saw me jump from the bridge like that.

I say to Z " Man I love dreaming! I ski on my feet in dreams like that often, but that was about the most intense thing I can remember experiencing!" I then laugh and slap Z on the back, and say." Hey did you hear what I just said? I must be Lucid!" And at the same time I'm saying that, full Lucidity washes over me. Just for the heck of it I pinch my nose and can breath. I tell Z that he should pinch his nose too. For some reason I believe Z to be into Lucid dreaming, and that he is a forum member. I'm thinking it will be fun experimenting in the dream world with him, and I think about calling this dream Lucid Dreaming with Z.

We begin walking, and I take note of the way Z's brown leather jacket is moving on his body when he walks, it looks so real. I then start going over my huge mental list of things I want to do in my dreams. But before I can decide on something I wake up.

First night of fall cabin trip
Swarming bugs recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

I'm laying down in some room. I'm not sure if its supposed to be the cabin or what, but I'm looking across the room and I can see these centipede type insects crawling over some cabinets. I keep seeing more and more of them, until they are just swarming over the thing.

I get up, and I see my dog laying on the floor on her side. insects are swarming all over her body. She is laying very still and I think she is dead and the insects are trying to feed off her corps. I feel very sad seeing her that way. I watch real close, and I see her side rise and fall so slightly. She is breathing! I get very angry at the insects, and start frantically brushing them off her. "She is not dead yet!"

I notice that the cabinets drawers are open now, and they are over flowing with huge ugly bugs. They look kind of like giant maggots only they have many legs like centipedes. they are about the size of big Tarantula spiders. And they are mixed colors of white red and pale yellowish ones too.

I grab one of the drawers spilling the things all over the floor, I start stomping on the things and freaking out. Then I think, What the hell, I wonder if this could be a dreamsign. I pinch my nose and I can breath!

Instantly Lucid, I pick up my dog and throw her up onto my back. She is able to hold onto my shoulders as if she had hands. I carry her on my back that way the entire Lucid. I can tell she is there the whole time, because I can feel her weight.

After becoming Lucid I disregarded the insects, and I never saw another one. I'm now somehow outside, and I begin climbing the side of the building. just to stay busy really.
I don't remember how but the next thing I know I'm back inside.It's a very large room with all sorts of furniture and shelving on the walls.

I begin going crazy running around jumping off furniture and the tops of shelves. sometimes flipping through the air, sometimes just flying across the room.

The entire time I'm doing this, I'm trying to think of what I wanted to do in my next Lucid, But I can't think of anything. I remember the water walking task, but I know how late in the month it is, and I don't see any point in going for that. And I can't remember my other goals.

After a while of climbing and jumping around the room, I decide I want to get back outside. I see a large window covered by curtains. I dive head first right for the curtains. I pass right through them like they are not even there.

I find myself in the front yard of the town houses I lived in as a kid. (I dream of this place so often it's strange. I've even had quite a few Lucids take place in this exact same spot.)

I decide I want to fly over to where the K-mart used to be.(Maybe still is.) I just want to go over there to see what kind of activity is going on. I leap into the air and begin flying in that direction, across the parking area of the town houses. I see some women out in the back yards. I briefly get sexual ideas, but ignore them.

The wind really picks up making it kind of hard to fly. But I put my hands out in front of me like a diver, and easily cut through the wind like an arrow. I think about a post I read form Seeker once, saying that his flying dreams end faster than when he stays on the ground. I wonder if there is anything to this, so I decide not to fly real high. I stay below roof top level.

I then remember what I wanted to do in my next Lucid, Start practicing spinning again! But I'm already in the air, and I remember how awkward it is trying to spin while flying. So I decide not to try it right now. I fly a ways farther, then wake.

Going to have to skip over number 61 for now to record last nights Lucid.

Lucid Dream # 62 of 2008
Anxiety induced/gradual Lucidity
No reality check needed

It's night and I'm walking on the trails at the cabin. I'm walking farther away from the cabin, deeper into the woods. My intention is to walk the entire trail system in the dark. (which I've done quite a few times) I get about half way through when suddenly get a really bad feeling that I may run into a bear. So I decide to go back.

I'm not all that afraid, but I start running back down the trail. I notice I don't even have a flash light. It's hard to see, and wonder why I would do this without one. (It's pitch black out there at night unless there is a full moon.)

A ways ahead of me I can see something big and brown jaunting down the trail. I'm not completely sure because of the darkness, but it looks like a large brown bear. It's not coming towards me, it's going in the same direction as me. So I'm coming up behind it.

I'm like WTF how can that be real. I slow down my running so that I don't catch up to it. I'm staring hard at it, trying to decide if I'm really seeing what I think I'm seeing. It now looks as if it is standing upright on two feet, and I get my first really good look at it. OMG! It's not a bear... It's Bigfoot!

I start to really freak out for the first time, I leave the trail slipping into the tree line, trying to disappear. (The trail doesn't look at all like the cabin trails right now.) At this point I start to become Lucid, a very low level though. I think, "Oh yeah that's right, I know how to fly." I feel some relief at this and begin flying, thinking I can just fly away.

But there is some kind of ceiling over the portion of forest I'm in. It does not allow for me to get nearly high enough to get out of Bigfoots reach. To make things worse, I see that Bigfoot has now become aware of me, and has backtracked to my location. He is looking through the trees trying to find me.

He is only a few feet away, and I begin to panic. Then I Think, "Wait a second, since this is a dream, I can easily transform the attacker into a friend." With that thought, my whole perspective on things change, and I instantly feel happy and friendly. With no fear, I land in front of Bigfoot with the intention of making him a friend.

Even as I land, My change of perspective on the situation has already transformed Bigfoot into a non threatening female DC. She is shorter than me now, and is wearing I purple hooded sweatshirt. She seems odd, as if she is partially mentally handicapped.

"Lets be friends and stick together,? I ask. " OK" she says, in a really odd high pitched squeaky voice." Then, my mischievous side starts to come out, and in a voice trying to imitate hers. I describe some sexual things we can do together. (Omitting the details)

She agrees that what I'm describing would be fun, and she is all for it. " Not right now though, I say, later." We walk away together, and I keep talking to her in this voice like she is using. And I keep describing in detail different sexual acts we can perform later.

It was really one of the funniest Lucid conversations I have ever had with a DC. I was inwardly laughing my ass off the whole time. I was totally messing with her, trying to see how far I could go before she got offended.

She was mostly agreeable about everything. But after a while of this she finally says, " I don't think I like you." And she just turns and walks away. I laugh, then turn to go find something else to do. But I wake right then.

Lucid Dream # 61 of 2008
Third night of fall cabin trip
Random reality check induced Lucidity

This dream took place later the same night as a bear dream I had. where I did a nose RC, and the RC failed me for the first time.

I'm in the living room of a house or apartment, not sure which. I'm with my brother, and we are watching TV. The old TV show, "The Monkeys" is on. There are people dressed in strange looking Monkey suits, dancing around, and singing " Hey hey we're the Monkeys." I tell my brother about how I used to watch this show when I was a kid. I then randomly pinch nose and try to breath through it and I can.

Lucid, I Tell my brother that this is a dream. I tell him that he should do a reality check but he does not. He says," You go ahead and have fun. I don't feel like Lucid Dreaming right now. I just want to sit here and watch the Monkeys." I'm like "Huh, you would rather watch the Monkeys than Lucid Dream?"
I find this very odd, and tell him that if he wanted to he could step right into the Monkey show and take part in it.

There is a huge window on the wall. It's actually a glass sliding door, I think. Outside there is a swampy area past the yard, and there are a mixture of brown and black cows wading in the shallow water. I take a moment to view them admiring the realism of the scene. It's actually so real I begin to have doubts about this being a dream. so as an RC I get up on the couch and do a front flip off it.

It's a bit difficult because of my doubt, but I manage it. And the familiar feeling of doing dream flips assures me that I'm indeed dreaming. I do several more flips off the furniture just for fun. But I then get a little confused and I say to my brother." I don't get it, how can we been sitting here watching TV, and then all of a sudden we are dreaming?" he says, " You know how when your watching TV sometimes and your eyes start to get heavy, and you fall asleep? Well I bet that's what happened we just fell asleep."

This makes perfect sense to me. I begin to leave the room and wake up.
