Welcome to my dream journal.
I think I had my first LD at about the age of 7-10, not sure exactly. But I remember it was a nightmare, set in my school.. And I was aware that it was aa dream, and I was able to help people escape a mutilating, dark fiend. Something like that.
Anyways, I was searching Wikipedia, and wondered what dreams are anyways. So I searched it up, and there is a definition about Lucid Dreams. Intrigued, I googled it and tried it myself. Sort of. I only really got into it on January 11, 2008, when I googled it again and found these forums.
January 11, 2008 - January 12, 2008 (Night)
I have this game for Xbox 360 called Bioshock. It has an amazing story. And one of the characters is called Sander Cohen, a crazed playwright and theatrical director that has taken to killing people in very artistic ways. Anyways, I felt bad about killing him when I didn't have to, because he was about the only friend you get in this game and such...
Now the dream. It was very quick. I tried WILDing that night, as I was really tired when I went to bed. I found myself inside this game world, and I remember thinking "Wow it actually worked. I'm dreaming." I made my way to this guy's room, and went inside. He humbly invited me in, but for some reason I got scared, backed out of the door, and woke up.
The rest of the night, I dreamt, but I am unable to recall what it was as I had not yet had a dream journal to record things in.
I wonder why I went there of all places. I think it's because I had been wanting to replay the game for some time, but my Xbox is broken at the moment.

I tried WILD again, and felt this needle-like thing in my legs. I also heard quite clearly "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)" by Pink Floyd. Then my dream started.
I was in a very wide canyon-like area. I did not know I was dreaming yet. It was war, and I was a soldier... So I go further, and there's a machine gun nest that shoots at us. Instead of taking cover, I teleport up, over the area, which has a kind of water-like barrier covering it. I thought "Wait, this is a dream."
It took me to another area, an abandoned village of sorts. I believe I have visited it in dreams in the past, because I remember being here, but cannot recall an instance in my 16 years that I would have come here in real life.
I have to find Yams. The vegetable. Wierd, I know, but I start looking for them. I was in control here, but decided to go along with the dream to see where it went, as it was pretty interesting. I found pumpkins, but no yams. I did, however, find steak. There was a forest nearby, with a clearing that had a path to the village. People came from there to the village... My dream started to get fuzzy here, but I remember eating the steak and actually tasting it. It was, suffice to say, quite delicious.
I woke up soon after eating it.

On a side note, I have always remembered going to a shipyard, which I do not think I have been to in real life. There were giant rusted ships, rope ladders, and it was close to a cliff. The air smelled of salt and fish, dirt and grime. I also remember there being a giant anchor. People were slaving about. I do not remember what I was doing there.
After coming to this site, I think this may have been a dream sometime. I remember it so vividly, though...
