Thread: iadr's Lucid and Vivid Dream Journal

After floating around enjoying a lot of different landscapes I find myself with an attractive gal that I would like to be alone with.

Unfortunately everywhere we go there are either a lot of people, or else the landscape is just not romantic.

One place we end up is an oriental village where there are a lot of people walking around and a lot of small shops.

I enter a small restaurant with her where I see the prices posted on the door.

The prices for items are very cheap, 3 cents for a cup of tea, 5 cents for something else.

The lady who manages the restaurant seems a bit upset with me for not staying and ordering something, but I am still trying to find a secluded place where I can be alone with the gal I am with.

I then find myself in a room full of people, mostly guys who are all talking.

I am having a hard time getting out of this place until the gal I am with whispers in my ear that I just need to concentrate on the kind of place I would like to alone with her at.

So I think for a while and decide that someplace where it is nice and grassy like a golf course late at night after everyone has gone home would be a nice place to go.

As soon as I concentrate on this I find myself spinning slowly in a counter-clockwise motion while I float up in the air.

Finally, because of her suggestion, I find myself alone with the gal in my dream, in the kind of place I wanted to be at.

I seem to have been being testing in this OBE to see how I would fare.

OBE:
I see an image of a tall building in the distance so fly over to it in my imagination.

Still not lucid I imagine myself flying up toward the top of the building.

Toward the top of the building I find myself in the dream and lucid, able to fly all over the place.

I find myself flying very slow and very low, about a foot off the ground, able to fly forward, but not going any higher.

I imagine myself floating up after which I find I can fly higher by concentrating on floating up at the same time I concentrate on going forward. So, once again I am now on my way.

I find myself flying up a long, windy, mountain road where at the top of the road I run into an adversary.

I concentrate on expanding my white light out from myself, and when it reaches my adversary he explodes in many small pieces.

I hear a lot of applause coming out of the sky cheering me on.

As I look out I find that I am on a very high cliff looking out over some very beautiful scenery far below.

Since I am aware that I am dreaming, I decide to dive off of the cliff, so take a big dive off of the cliff.

At first I am just floating in the air, but then feel myself floating slowly downward.

Then, all of a sudden I find myself falling downward at a great deal of speed, somewhat terrifying until I come to a stop right before reaching the bottom, and then find myself being shot right back up to the top again.

I find this so much fun that I repeat this movement another 10 to 15 times, allowing myself to fall freely down to the bottom, and then shooting myself back up to the top, enjoying one of the best carnival type of experiences I even experienced.

I then begin wondering what other creatures might be out here watching me, and what they might be thinking about me doing this, and if they might be planning to attack me again.

I see nothing when I look around though.

I then find myself laying in my bed in my dream and see some mean man walk into my room.

Once again I expand my white light out from my body, and when it reaches him he disintegrates.

I sense the forces of good are smiling at me at this point although I hear no applause this time.

As I am beginning to have a difficult time remembering everything that has happened in this dream, I decide to get up and record the dream before I have forgotten the entire dream.



1st Lucid:
I am playing basketball in this dream and able to dunk the ball very easily since I can jump so much higher in my dream than I can in the physical.

At first I am playing basketball with 2 other guys and we are all using the same ball, but then manifest a couple of additional balls using my imagination so that we can all have a ball of our own.

I then find that I am able to make full court shots with amazing accuracy.



2nd Lucid:
I find myself in an apt with 4 or 5 gals who are in their leotards laying on their sides exercising.

I notice that the gal leading the exercises has a really large breast.

When I look at her closer I see that she has tattoos all over her body.

I then notice that the other gals also have tattoos all over their bodies.

As I am trying to find a place to lay down in between them to exercise with them some guy runs into me with a bicycle he is riding, but I feel nothing.

I laugh as he runs into a large pile of clothes on the other side of the apt and ends up falling head first off of the bicycle.

I then find a place where I am able to lay down next to one of the gals to exercise with them.

As I lay down next the gal she becomes very friendly and starts talking to me, although because of the length of this dream I forget what she said.

I notice a couple of guys doing some kind of stomach exercise where they hold onto a bar and pull their legs up.

As I think this seems like a good exercise I decide to try it myself, but have a difficult time holding onto the bar when I try it. (This seems like a good exercise to actually do in the physical though, so will start trying it).

I decide that I should start getting ready to go to work as I have to be to work at 3:30PM in this dream, so I go to an upstairs bedroom.

As I realize I am dreaming at this point I decide to just imagine myself being dressed for work, after which I am instantly dressed for work and ready to leave.

On my way out I notice a bunch of beads and small change laying on the floor, but I leave it alone as I know it belongs to the gals who live in the house there.

I'm having a lot of difficulty getting lucid and getting out of my body in this dream, as I keep dreaming that my body is turned sideways in my bed and that I am laying on my stomach, although I am really laying on my side.

Suddenly I find myself rolling very fast, clockwise I think, after which I find myself flying freely through someplace like a metropolitan area with high buildings, going higher and higher.

After only about 5 minutes though I lapse back into a vivid dream.

I found it very easy to float out of my body this morning, but had trouble controlling my movements and staying out.

The least little thought of anything I wanted to accomplish brought me right back into my body, so I decide to stop trying to do anything and just concentrate on floating.

So...I concentrated again, and once again was able to float out, after which I lost consciousness and found myself floating face down about a foot above the floor when I once again gained consciousness.

Was able to get out of this position by concentrating on floating higher.

At one point I felt myself rolling which felt like I was rolling across the floor in a counter clockwise motion, although I could tell my physical body was lying still.

Because of the lack of control, I just stayed close to home and floated around my house.

I have a difficult time getting back to sleep this morning after taking 8mg of galantamine, 500mg of choline, and 600mg of Alpha-GPC, as I must have stayed up a little too long.

2 hours after going back to bed, and after getting up twice to use the bathroom and getting a small bite to eat, I finally begin to see dream images, so concentrate on the images and pull myself into the dream.

I am a snake in this dream and find that I am able to communicate with a long thin snake that I see.

I then turn into a variety of small insects during which time I am able to communicate with the kind of insects that I am.

I find myself being a small dot later and am someplace like an home office where there is a map of world on the wall in front of me.

I allow myself to float around on the map telling myself that wherever I land on the map is where I should go to.

When I land someplace in Asia though I change my mind and decide that this experiment did not work the way it should have.

I then find myself in a house on the floor with my wife on my back playfully holding me down on the floor.

After about 5 minutes of this I realize that I could probably get free of her if I just will myself higher, so I will myself to float up in the air after which I begin floating up with her still on my back.

After I get so high I am free of her and am now able to float at will around the house.

I notice about 4 or 5 other people in the house, all of which I know in my dream, but none of whom I am familiar with in the physical.

I impress everyone in my dream with my ability to float around the house at will as I float from room to room.

I then start going through walls, going back and forth through the walls in the house with the greatest of ease.

When I see a mess in the kitchen I will it clean with my imagination after which I notice it is clean.

When I come back into the kitchen later and see an even bigger mess, I also will it clean.

I continue floating freely through the house for what seems like a long time until I finally wake up.

As I concentrate on floating I find my dream body trying to float out of my physical body, although it appears to be stuck, as it is unable to get all of the way out.

I try every which way I can think of to get out of my body, turning first this way, then that way, but nothing works, until I imagine myself flying, after which I find myself flying up through some trees and into what seems like the twilight zone.

As I am flying through what feels like the twilight zone, I remember the task I had wanted to accomplish, that of going to Mars.

So I think about going to Mars, while at the same time giving my subconscious mind permission to take me to whatever planet it thinks would be best to go to.

Almost immediately I feel myself descending and find myself flying in a place that is both dark and foggy, making it very difficult to see anything, although I do see some buildings that look like housing projects on the side of one of the roads I am flying along.

As I am flying along I begin to hear some male voices which seem to be approaching me as they are getting louder and louder.

I relax as in the past when I have encountered these voices they usually don't seem to know I even there.

This time they seem to know I am there though, because I very shortly feel myself completely covered by something like a blanket which forces me back into my body and causes me to wake up, putting an end to a perfectly fun adventure.

I find myself at a beautiful lake surrounded by some nice shade trees.

As I relax and enjoy this beautiful scene, I begin thanking my subconscious mind for taking me to such a beautiful place, after which I am taken to several other places equally as beautiful, most of which I had forgotten by the time I woke up.

At one place I find myself at, I see a long black rocket sticking out of some water.

When I decide I would like to take a trip in the rocket I find myself shooting up into space in what I would describe as an feeling of nothingness which was very relaxing.

Shortly after this I find myself viewing several cities below me as I fly over them in which the buildings all look real tiny like match boxes.

I am then distracted because something seems to have a hold of my feet trying to pull me out of my bed.

Finding myself back in my body I deal with the being by expanding my white light out around myself, after which it leaves.

I then find myself in another lucid dream in which I am running down a hallway, someplace like a college dormitory, with what seem like deer.

I find that I am able to keep up with them as I am running on all fours like they are, using both my hands and feet to run.

I laugh at myself at the way I am using both my hands and feet to run.

Once again I am distracted though, as this time something seems to have climbed up into bed with me and is wanting to cuddle with me.

Although whatever it was that was with me in bed did feel rather nice, and probably meant me no harm, as it seemed to just want my affection, I was in no mood to be distracted from my other adventures again, so once again expanded my white light around me and got rid of it.

At this point, having already forgotten about half of the early part of my dream because of the length of it, I decided to record what I remembered of it, so reached for my digital recorder and recorded my dream.

The remainder of my morning resulted in several short lucids, the most interesting one being one in which I was showing my wife how to control this big hand which just happened to be sticking out in front of us, by using her imagination, which she found she was able to do.

This happened last week while I was on vacation.

After taking the galantamine/choline/alpha-gpc combination I have a false awakening in which I remembered having taken the supplements, but am bummed out because they appear to have not worked.

I then find myself floating out of my body, so realize that this was just a false awakening and that I am actually dreaming.

I feel myself bouncing against a wall, but am unable to go through the wall.

So I back up about 5 feet and get a run at the wall and go right through it.

I spend the rest of the morning floating around the vacation villa I am staying in going from room to room with no trouble going through the walls.

I realize that I am dreaming after having somewhat of a nightmare in which my wife and I are staying in some place owned by my company and in which I had taken some galantamine/choline to get lucid, but am having a difficult time getting lucid because of all of the distractions and noises in the place we are staying.

Because of all of the problems I am having, I finally realize that I must be dreaming, so start telling myself over and over that I am dreaming.

Once some scenery starts coming to me I concentrate on finding a groundhog.

I find myself somewhere outside where there seems to hundreds of animals walking around, none of which appear to be groundhogs. At one point I even see a chicken walk by me.

As I continue to concentrate on finding a groundhog all of the other animals disappear and a couple of friendly groundhogs walk up to me, one of which is somewhat smaller than the other one.

I tell the small groundhog that I am going to show it what it feels like to float in the air, and then concentrate on levitating it off of the ground, after which it floats up into the air a couple of feet.

I then remember the basic task from dreamviews.com of asking someone to tell me something about myself that I don't already know, so pronounce out loud that I would like someone to tell me something about myself that I don't already know.

As soon as I say this, the groundhogs disappear, and I find myself surrounded by a number of DCs, mostly guys I think, who all start talking at once telling me all kind of negative things about myself.

One guy tell me that I never stick with my goals to accomplish them, while another one tells me that I start something and then 6 months later have completely forgotten about it.

A bit annoyed with everything I am hearing, I concentrate on making all of the DCs disappear, after which they are all gone.

I then see an adversary of some sort to the right of me off in the distance, so concentrate on making him disappear by using my imagination, after which he is gone.

Once he is gone, I see a vision of Jesus at an equal distance to where my adversary was, only off to the left side.

Happy at this point with having completed the tasks I decide to try something else I've never tried before, so picture a door in front of me and tell myself that when I open the door I am going to find a beach with a beautiful lady there waiting for me.

When I open the door the beach is there, but it is full of people swimming, both men and women, who all seem to be together, with no one left for me.
So I try the door thing again, and this time end up somewhere like a cave where there is something like dating service.

I find myself standing in a line of guys who are being matched up with a line of gals on the other side.

When it comes my turn though the lady in charge of the dating service, who is somewhat of a heavy set lady, says that she is going to take me for herself, so flies over to me and takes me off flying with her.

Although she is somewhat large I find her very pleasant to be around because she is so jovial and has such a great personality.

She shows me how to fly by concentrating on where I want to go, and takes me all through the place showing the best places to fly.

After a while I lose track of her though and get lost.

As I am flying through this place which appears to be underground I see all kinds of people who appear to be going places.

They seem to notice me and seem to be making fun of the way I am flying, as I am really going slow.

I hear one person say that I am only going 1 mile per hour.

A bit annoyed at all of the problems I am having in this lucid, I finally wake myself up.

After going back to bed I become lucid again, and this time things go much better as I find I am able to float at will so just float all around for about an hour going very high and then coming back down, and floating back up again.

At one point I find myself falling freely so allow myself to fall freely, after which I stop right before hitting the ground, where I then find myself being shot right back up into the air again while I am still laying on my back.

I have so much fun with this movement that I repeat it several times.

My wife and I are staying someplace that has something like a house next door to it with a bunch of lockers in it.

I go over to the other house twice and get something out of a locker that I have there.

The third time I go over to get something out of my locker I am unable to find my locker as it seems to be gone.

Although all of the other lockers seem to be there, I am unable to find my locker anywhere.

Because of the difficulty I am having in finding my locker, I begin to wonder if I could be dreaming.

When I try to float I am only able to float about a foot off of the ground, which is unusual, because usually I find it very easy to float.

As I continue to concentrating on floating though I become more convinced that I am dreaming and it becomes easier to float.

I then float all over the place with no difficulty for what seems like an hour or so.

Because of the length of the dream I am unable to remember all of the places I floated to when I wake up, but just remember floating around for a long time.

I then lapse into a non-lucid in which I am staying someplace very close to what seems like a military landing strip.

I watch in awe as one jet airplane after another comes down and lands on the runway which is only a few feet from where I am staying.

Although I have enough awareness to realize that I have to get up to go to work in about 30 minutes, I have too little awareness to realize that I am dreaming.

After thinking about it a bit, I decide to stay up and watch all of the planes landing rather than go back to bed and get some more sleep.

My wife and I are someplace on vacation when we just happen to wander into someones house, so I think, well let's just explore a little bit while were here.

We wander through the living room, and through the kitchen, and then see a bedroom door open with a bed with the sheets pulled back with no one in it.

When we walk upstairs we see a bedroom door open and see a couple of people laying in a bed.

My wife hurries back downstairs wanting to leave but I catch up with her, put my arms on her shoulders and stop her.

I tell her that I would like to explore this situation further, and find out who these people are, and where we are at.

About this time a guy comes down the stairs who looks like a boxer as his body is well defined and he is wearing black boxer shorts.

I explain to him that we had accidentally wandered into his house, and that I did not want to be nosy, but that I was wondering who he is.

He tells me his name is Jade, and also tells me his last name, although I am unable to remember his last name when I wake up.

I introduce myself telling him my first and last name and shake hands with him.

Because of the length of the dream I begin to get the feeling that I am going to have a difficult time remembering all of it when I wake up.

I then explain to him that we are dreaming and that I am one of his dream characters.

He seems to think that this is odd, but remains very talkative.

When I ask him what he is doing here, he starts off like he is going to give me an answer, but then gets a confused look on his face like he is not sure what he is doing here.

He is holding something like a map in his hand and is trying to read it by using a lighter to provide some light, when he catches his map on fire.

Another gal in the room helps him put the fire out.

I tell him not to worry about it, that I have a problem figuring that out also when I am dreaming.

I then find myself in a room with Jade and his wife, and a couple of other women.

I tell everyone in the room that we are all dreaming and that I am one of their dream characters.

When I ask one of the gals in the room if she knows who she is she says she does, but then gets a confused look on her face like she doesn't know who she is.

I tell her not to worry about it because it is sometimes hard to tell who you are when you are dreaming.

My dog then wanders into my room and starts whining which wakes me up.

I had just driven to a town I wanted to visit that was about 30 minutes from where I lived at in my dream.

I am aware that it is the middle of the night and that I have to get up to go to work the next morning, but decide to visit the town anyway.

Once I get to the town I am walking down this street trying to get somewhere when I encounter a very deep hole in the middle of the street that I am unable to walk around as it covers the entire street.

I decide to climb down into the hole and then climb back up the other side of it to get by it, but when I hang down from the side I am unable to find anything to climb down on, so I am going to have to jump, and it is about 30 feet to the bottom.

I get ready to jump down but then notice that there will be no way for me to get out once I am in the hole.

I try to pull myself up but am having difficulty pulling myself up.

When I see a lady standing to the side I ask her what would be the best way for me to get up out of this hole.

She suggests that I use my feet to walk up the side of the hole while pulling myself up with my arms.

I try this and it helps a little, but what helps more is that I realize that I can use my imagination to help me out of the hole, so I imagine myself being pulled out of the hole, which gets me out.

Once out of the hole I wake up.

I was able to accomplish a couple of things last night that I have been unable to do.

One was to use Seeded Visualization to bring on a lucid dream, and the other was to achieve a state of sleep paralysis, something I have only experienced a couple of times in the past 20 years.

While relaxing after going back to bed, after having gotten up for about 30 minutes, I feel myself slipping into a very deep state of relaxation in which I was unable to move.

As I resist the urge to move I begin hearing voices all around me, although they are not the least bit scary, as they are more like voices coming from a radio or television.

As I enter the scary state between sleep and waking I resist the urge to wake myself and concentrate on floating out of my body which puts in a state of mind where I find it easy to begin visualizing some beautiful scenery.

I begin visualizing some beautiful scenery in my mind and then imagine myself flying along this scenery.

Before long my visualization turns into a dream and I find myself flying along this same scenery in a lucid dream.

I allow the dream to take over and just enjoy watching all of the places that it takes me, over snow capped mountains, streams and rivers, in cities where there are people all around, most of which are foreigners to me, and finally to a room somewhere where there are a bunch of people, one of which is an attractive female.

I allow myself to get distracted by the female.

After a while I decide I have allowed myself to be distracted long enough so take off flying again.

I decide I would like to take a trip to another planet and decide I would like to visit Jupiter.

I think to myself that I wish I had done some reading up on Jupiter before trying this so I would know what to expect.

As I concentrate on going to Jupiter I find myself at a space center with scientists all around me.

When I ask one of them if they have any rockets that are going to be headed to Jupiter any time soon he takes me to a large warehouse area where there are several rockets.

He points to a tall skinny rocket and tells me that this one is their Jupiter rocket.

I decide to just merge myself with the rocket and wait until it takes off, but then find myself somewhere else doing something totally different, as I am now trying to find an old house that I can buy to fix up and live in, as for some reason I seem to be living in an apt in this dream, and am unhappy about not having a house.

I finally wake up feeling elated at having been able to bring on a lucid dream from my visualizations.

I am on the campus of a college I went to about 30 years ago and it is 4am in the morning.

I have a class that I am supplosed to be at by 7am, so am thinking I would like to sleep a little longer to try to have a lucid dream.

Suddenly the place I am at gets flooded with people who are all showing up for an early exercise class at 4am in the morning.

When it starts raining I head indoors and end up in an auditorium where I go up a couple of flights of stairs to the highest part of a balcony where I figure I can lay down to get a bit more sleep.

No sooner than I lay down though, all kinds of people start coming into the balcony where I am at for a class and there is a professor at the front with long stringy hair that starts teaching the class.

I have to get up from the pew I was laying down in because a couple of people come to sit in my pew.

I leave there and walk down one flight of stairs thinking that maybe the balcony area below this one won't have a class going on in it, but when I get there it has a concrete swimming pool there with a bunch of people laying out by the pool.

I decide that I could put on my swim trunks and then come out and lay by the pool to get some sleep before having to get up.

But when I go to find the mens locker room I only two signs, one which says it is for Everyone, and another that says it for Pets.

I finally find one that says Men on it, so head into it.

I see a sign that says the section of lockers I in is lockers 5000 to 5999, and when I look at the lockers they all have peoples names on them.

As my lock has the number 122999 on it I am thinking that I am a long ways from the section I should be at.

I then wake up.

I'm jogging around the inside of a gym, and seem to be running about 4 miles.

I notice my boss show up and start lifting weights after I have run a couple of miles.

When I look at a clock on the wall it shows that it is 10:20 am which I think is odd as it is normally after 11:00 am when I am running, but I rationalize it away thinking that the clock must be wrong.

I then find it difficult to run around the outside of the gym as my boss seems to have moved all of the weights to the outer edge of the gym, so I am having to run on the inside of the machines.

Someone I pass notices a shirt that I am wearing that says something about running on it and asks me if I am training for a certain event.

I tell him no, that I just enjoy running.

I finish running and go into the locker room to change back into my work clothes but I am unable to remember which locker I put them in.

While walking into the locker room I have this really weird feeling that I might be dreaming, but never once question my dream state.

I then find my clothes laying on top of a locker as I appear to have forgotten to lock them up.

I am relieved to find that my billfold and keys are still in my pants pockets.

I vow to remember to lock up my clothes the next time I come to the gym.

The locker room is huge and is full of other guys as it appears to the lunch hour.

I have to walk around quite a while to find an empty spot where I can change into my clothes.

There is water all over the floor and I seem to have dropped the sheets from my bed in the water as they are soaking wet.

I also notice that my work pants are in the water so are soaking wet.

I check again to make sure my keys and billfold are still in my pants pockets and am relieved that they are still there.

I decide to ring my pants out and then go ahead and wear them, hoping they will dry fairly quick.

A couple of other guys come over to the area where I am at to change into their work out clothes.

I tell them they can use the locker that is there since I am getting ready to leave so don't need it.

They thank me for being so considerate.

I finally wake up and kick myself for not having gotten lucid in a dream with so many discrepancies, but being grateful for having such a vivid dream

I find myself at work in someplace like in a cafeteria where I have never been before.

Because of the unfamiliar surroundings I question my dream state, only instead of trying to float myself, for some reason I decide to try levitating a man I see on the other side of the room.

As I concentrate on making him float up into air he begins to float in the air. I then levitate a lady I see on the other side of the room, and then pick out another man, and cause him to float up into the air.

Convinced that I am dreaming, I now find myself someplace like a museum, where there are all kinds of artifacts.

While in the museum I run into a lady dressed in a nice business suit, who used to be my high school teacher many years ago, whose name in my dream is Barbara.

She tells me that I was always her favorite student, and I in turn tell her that she was always my favorite teacher. I then give her a hug.

When I concentrate on finding an inanimate object that I can bring to life, I see these totem poles in front of me, so decide to bring one of them to life.

Big mistake, as it starts chasing everyone around the museum causing a panic in the museum.,

I realize that I have made a mistake so get control of the situation by concentrating and getting the thing turned back into a totem pole.

I then find myself somewhere like a water park and find myself on something like a merry-go-round out in a lake between 2 gals.

As I look at the gal on my left, the gal on my right tells me that I don't want her because she is taken.

When I ask her if she is taken, she tells me that she is not married and that she is not taken.

When I ask her if she would like to hang out with me she says yes, and when I ask her what she would like to do she says "Have sex silly!".

I tell her that I would like to time travel somewhere and ask her if she would like to time travel with me, and she says she would.

We are then someplace like a large theater with all kinds of towns in it.

When we get into some kind of circular thing with seats in it though I notice that she is not sitting with me, but is on the other side.

I then find myself back in a large theater again, only I am by myself now, except for all of the ushers standing at the different doors and people in the various rooms.

The doors all seem to be for people who want freedom from various countries as I see one door says it is for people who want freedom from Iraq, and other doors for people who want freedom from other countries.

One door says it is for people who want freedom from freedom.

At this point I start become too aware of my body from concentrating too hard, so decide to let go and just follow my dream a bit more.

As I stop concentrating so much and allow the dream to develop on its own, I find myself someplace like an amusement park where on my left a motorcycle race is taking place.

I watch in awe as motorcycles come flying through the air as they come over this ramp.

To my right appears what looks like an ocean where they are having boat races.

I find myself standing by a stream where I see a snake which is about 2 foot long, 4 inches around, with a majestic looking head with short hair going about 12 inches along its head.

Although the snake seems friendly enough I keep my distance from it.

My cat shows up and starts playing with the snake, rolling around next to it, and then putting her paw out and touching the snake with her paw.

I am trying to get my cat away from the snake to keep her from getting bit when I see 5 or 6 small otters sticking their heads up on the other side of the creek

I see several other small animals also, and then see a couple of fairly large turtles walk across the creek in a shallow spot.

Although one of the turtles makes it up the bank on the other side alright the other turtle gets stuck because the bank is too steep for it to get up.

I walk over and push it up the rest of way onto the bank.

When I return back to my side of the creek, I then see several small elephants only about a foot tall walking along the creek.

Wait a minute I think, One foot tall Elephants! I must be dreaming!

I decide to jump into the creek to test my dream state, thinking that the worst that could happen is that I could get all wet.

So I jump out and as I head down toward the water back first, I stop right before hitting the water and begin to float.

I spend the rest of the lucid floating along the top of the river on my back.

I wake up after 3 1/2 hours, record 3 vivid dreams, stay up for 45 minutes, then take some galantamine, put on a 7mg nicotine patch, and go back to bed.

I must have stayed up too long, because for the next 3 1/2 hours I am wide awake, so just relax and practice meditating, transporting myself around my house, and flying, to try to bring on a dream, but nothing happens.

At 04:30 I get up, take off the nicotine patch, get something to eat, and go back to bed.

Finally, I get to sleep and at 05:00 wake up from another vivid dream which I record on my digital recorder.

At 05:20 the next vivid dream comes.

The dreams then start coming about every 5 minutes, and eventually about every 2 minutes, only they are really short dreams lasting only about 10 seconds.

Between 05:00 and 06:30 I record 22 dreams on my digital recorder, most of which are only about 10 seconds long, but the last 3 of which I am finally able to get myself into the dream scene and become lucid in.

In one dream I am my dog, and am going out her pet door.

Then I am in an apartment high above the city at nighttime looking at all of the lights.

In the last dream, I am back in my bedroom looking at my keys and billfold on my chester drawer.

I finally managed to have a descent WILD lasts night after taking galantamine/choline/alpha-gpc.

I went straight to bed after taking it this time to make sure I could get back to sleep, and within 30 minutes after going back to bed, I started getting dream images so took off flying.

Unfortunately because of the length of the dream I had forgotten most of it when I woke up.

I just remember flying all around, then landing a couple of times, and taking off flying again.

I seemed to have been more lucid the two times I landed, because I remember landing and taking off a couple of times, but then seemed to lose it after I took off flying.

I've been taking 2400mg of piracetam every morning when I get up to try to get rid of the tolerance I seem to have built up toward the galantamine, and it seems to be working, as the galantamine is once again becoming effective.

Just thought of something else I did.

As I have a dog that is getting old whose health has been failing lately, I have been wanting to visit her while out of my body and see if I could give her some energy.

So, I thought about my dog, and there I was right with her, our spirits merged together.

Unfortunately, she was right outside of my bedroom at the time, which I guess was a bit too close to where my physical body was, because it brought me back into my body and ended the lucid.

But just as soon as I came back into my body, she got up and walked into my bedroom and layed down next to my bed.

So she must have sensed my presence.

I am jogging along a road that I used to jog along with my dog several years ago when she was younger and able to run farther, when I suddenly find that I am able to fly.

Realizing that I am dreaming at this point, I decide to find my dog and take her flying with me.

As I am flying along I see a place with a sign on the front of it that says it is the Cat's Meow.

Thinking that I might find my dog in there I fly inside to take a look around.

Inside I find my dog laying on the floor all by herself, so pick her up and hold her to my chest and hug her.

I then take her outside and start walking along the route we used to jog together while carrying her.

She has her paws around my neck as I am carrying her.

I seem to be wearing a tool belt that keeps getting in my way, and am having difficulty keeping hold of her as she keeps slipping down.

So I finally take off my tool belt, and then wrap a belt around her and myself to keep her close to my body.

As I then have no trouble holding onto her I take off flying down the street with her, flying somewhat slow and low to the ground, but at least we are flying together.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________

Just remembered something that happened at the beginning of this dream.

I remembered to look at my hands, and they looked normal.

In fact I looked at them several times, and every time I looked at them they looked completely normal, which is a first for me.

I am going someplace like the Florida Keys with my wife on vacation, where we have to take several boat rides to get there.

At first we are on a large boat like a ship that drops us off at another station where we have a catch a smaller boat.

While on the boats, I am carrying some kind of small pet in my hand like a lizard or a frog.

While on the first boat I am less concerned about my pet than I am after we board the second boat, as the second boat is much smaller and has holes in it where if I drop my pet I could lose it in the water.

For this reason I am holding onto my pet with both hands while on the second boat to make sure and not drop it in the water.

When a small kid asks if he can hold my pet I tell him no, because I am concerned that he might drop him.

He is upset about this until his dad explains to him why I refused to let him hold my pet.

When we get off of the first boat we are on something like a large dock where boats are arriving on both sides of.

We are looking for our next boat on the right side of the dock where 2 or 3 boats have just arrived when I see the boat we need, which had a number 69 on it, arrive on the left side of the dock.

We walk over and get on our boat on the left side of the dock.

This boat is much smaller than the ship we just got off of and is going a lot faster.

I watch the water as we go blazing through it, holding onto my pet with both hands to make sure and not drop it in the water.

After a while our boat slows down as we approach a dock where we get off at.

We seem to be on some sort of island where some actors who are all dressed up are putting on a play.

When I look at a map that I have in my hands I realize that we must have taken the wrong boat, so are now at the wrong place, as it seems like we should have taken boat 35 instead of boat 69.

I am trying to find someone who can give us directions on how to catch the correct boat, but everyone is so busy that no one has time to talk to me.

When we go into some kind of business I see a gal that I have known for several years working the cash register.

When I ask her if she could help give us directions she says she would be happy to since I have always been one of her mothers favorite people.

Before she is able to help us though, a bunch more people come into the business that she has to help.

People just keep coming in and waiting in line, keeping her too busy to help us.

I wait patiently hoping that people will stop coming into the business so that she will have time to help us, but it never happens.

She then has to leave, so apologizes that she was unable to help us.

At this point, because of all of the difficulty I am having, I question my dream state and try floating.

To my surprise I am able to float, so now realize that I am dreaming.

When someone makes fun of me floating, I tell them to try it themselves if they think it is so easy.

I then remember a couple of tasks I had wanted to try, that of riding a tsunami, or looking in my closet to see what is there.

As I had already ridden a tsunami a couple of months ago, I decide to try looking in my closet.

I must have been a long ways from home because it took me a while to get back to my house.

Once inside my house I float to an upstairs bedroom to take a look inside the closet, as I realize that looking in my own closet would be too close to my body, so would bring me back into my body.

To my surprise, everything was in place exactly like it is in the physical.

I then lapse into another vivid dream.

Although I had 7 really vivid dreams last night, this one was more magical than the rest of them, so I will record it.

I am at work in this dream, only am at an outside location, someplace like a shanty, where I am waiting at until it stops raining.

I seem to have ridden something like a magic carpet with a couple of dogs to get here.

The carpet I have been riding has a lever on the front of it that I use to steer it with, although I seem to have to use my mind to get it to go up and down and forward.

It is around 4am in the morning and very dark outside when my cell phone rings and I hear my boss on the other end.

He seems to be talking to someone in the background as he talks to me.

Before he finishes talking we seem to lose our connection because it suddenly gets quiet.

When I look at my cell phone, it shows that it is locked, so I press something like the 2 key to unlock it, after which I hear a dial tone.

As it has now stopped raining I take off again on my magic carpet, only this time I seem to be alone.

I am going along a road that has snow on it, which snow seems to have no effect on my carpet.

As I am flying along this road, a large red truck comes up behind me which in my dream is a Ford Tundra (lol). Tundras are made by Toyota, but in my dream it was a Ford.

As he appears to be in a big hurry I start flying faster to stay out of his way.

I turn down a street, turning very wide in the snow from going so fast, with him still right behind me, also turning really wide in the snow around the corner.

I finally move over to the side of the road and let him by as he is in such a hurry.

I then find myself flying around someplace like a large office building where I am floating up and down some stairways, where I am able to make my magic carpet go higher by concentrating with my mind, and am able to steer it right and left with the control on the front of my carpet.

I am someplace like a church basement where I have 3 fishing poles sticking out a window trying to catch something.

The third pole only has line on it with a big pile of dog poop on the end.

As I look out a window I see squirrels and rabbits running around in the lot next door, so I assume that I must be trying to catch a squirrel or rabbit with this pole as there is no water outside, but just a long window well that I have the line in.

The first time something pull on my line and I start pulling it in, it seems to drop off right before I get it in.

I get busy doing something else, and when I come back I notice that something has been pulling on my line and has almost pulled all of my line out.

I grab the line and start pulling it in.

Whatever I have on the line feels really heavy.

I manage to pull it into the basement onto a shelf next to the window I had been fishing out of.

At first I think it is a squirrel, but when I take a closer look at it I realize it is a cow.

I grab a girl who happens to be with me in the basement and tell her that we need to run upstairs and warn everyone about the cow.

As we start running up the steps the cow is running after us.

At this point, I realize that how rediculous it would be for a cow to be running up these stairs so realize that I am dreaming.

The realization that I am dreaming also wakes me up though causing this to be an extremely short lucid.

I feel myself lying in bed with a young lady on top of me having sex with me.

When I hear a voice warn us that someone is coming I try to pull the covers up over her, but am having a difficult time pulling them up, until I realize that they are already pulled up all the way, after which I just lay there and stay quiet.

I then realize that I have allowed myself to be distracted and that if I concentrate on floating I can probably float out of my body.

So I concentrate on floating and find myself floating out of my body sitting in something like a lawn chair while I float all around about 20 feet above the ground.

It is nighttime and a beautiful clear night with stars all over the sky.

As I raise my arms over my head and concentrate on one of the brightest stars I find myself flying toward it.

I fly past several other stars on my way to this star, which become blurs as I fly by them.

There are two other bright stars close to this star, but I continue concentrating on the star I had picked out.

When I fly past the other two stars they appear to be something like flying toasters as I fly past them on the way to the star I had picked out.

When I fly past the star I had picked out, it also appears to be something else when I fly past it.

I then concentrate on a task I had wanted to try of riding a tsunami.

As I concentrate on finding a tsunami, I find myself by several lakes and streams, all of which are very calm at this time.

I am still floating around in my lawn chair.

As I am floating along a stream I notice several men walking in what looks like a creek with their dogs.

I then concentrate on finding an ocean, and going back in time to a previous tsunami since there are obvious none happening at this moment.

When I do this, I find myself sitting on top of a tsunami in my lawn chair being tossed around, but mostly being rotated in a counter clockwise motion.

I decide that it might be more exciting to be standing up in my lawn chair while riding the tsunami, so stand up which makes me feel like I am surfing.

I then decide I would like to find my dog that we had put to sleep a couple of weeks ago.

As I concentrate on finding my dog I feel myself zooming down toward the ground in what appears to be a playground for dogs, as there are dogs everywhere of all sizes.

A large white dog with black spots notices me and is trying to play with me as I float down onto the playground.

As I continue to concentrate on finding my dog I am drawn to a doghouse that has a bunch of small puppies in it.

They almost seem like hamsters though because they are so small.

There I find my dog, although she is much smaller than she was in the physical, nursing these puppies.

When I notice that their water dish is dirty, I find a faucet and clean their water dish out and fill it with fresh water for them.

Overtaken with joy from having found my dog and seeing how happy she is on the other side, I begin crying which brings me too much back into the physical and wakes me up.
