      Talking Icepop's Lucidity

      Two-four years ago I went lucid in a dream a few times, without knowing there was such a thing. Only now have I realized that I gained lucidity naturally.

      I was having a dream where someone was running after me and I was just about to hop on the bus to run away when I realized, "Wait... This isn't real! It's a dream!" I decided to close my eyes, and said that if this is a dream, then I will open them and wake up. I did so, and I woke up. It was such a waste of lucidity, I now realize. :\

      I had this dream again, and I believe that I realized it was a dream in the same spot, only it took me longer to wake up from it.

      Yesterday I began thinking about the other times I could have gained lucidity, and there might have been a time where I was sick and in the middle of the night I got up to get a drink perfectly naturally. Becoming a bit hungry, I grabbed a grape or two and ate them on the way back. As soon as I got into my bed, I had the feeling everything was slow motion, and I couldn't move very fast at all. Everything around me was spinning and then my body started moving extremely fast (jerking actions, flying to the bed, twitching almost). I was terrified, breathing hard and leaning against the wall. I don't know how I fell asleep, but it took a very long time. I also called my mom out loud a few times, and she would have normally heard me, but it was as if she wasn't in the house at all when I was calling her. I'm not sure if this was a dream or not, and before I found out about lucid dreams I thought I just had a high fever. Now, I don't know, but it's still interesting to tell.

      I'm one of those people who has very vivid dreams, and I often retell my dreams to my friends over and over again. I remember my dreams easily, especially just as I wake up. Some dreams have an amazing adventurous plot that I can easily turn into a novel. One day I will definitely sit down and post dreams I've had over the past two years (yes, I still remember them!) that were amazing and fun to dream.

      Lucid dreams interest me because it amazes me that in dreams, I could be able to do whatever I want consciously. I also am very interested in my DreamGuide. My dreams can be like fairy tales and differ from the dreams of others, because as my dad put once, I have an amazing imagination, especially when I'm sleeping. Being able to gain consciousness in the middle of battling dragons would be exciting, don't you think? (Not that I have ever battled dragons before, but I came close)

      Lucid dreams I post will be in purple.

      March 27

      March 27, 2008

      I had a choice of 3 landscapes and I chose one. I came to a snow-covered field with a few trees and 7 grizzly bears roaming around. The DC I was standing beside asked, "Are you sure you want to stay here?". I said yes and they disappointed (I'm pretty sure it was a male). I remember walking around the field until a bear started chasing me around, through the maze of trees. Most of the dream was me running from the bear. When I woke up, my leg muscles hurt all day.

      I can't remember my next two dreams (I did when I woke up, but I forgot them), after which I woke up.

      March 28, 2008

      4/5 short (1 minute feels like 10) attempts to WILD before I fell asleep and when I woke up around 5:30 AM. All failed. I fell asleep normally both times.


      Field Trip

      This dream was kind of two dreams... My class was going to a large medieval castle with a big dead field with a single grave in the front where a boy committed suicide for his love.

      The first dream, I remember touring the field/grave, getting a spooky story, and leaving. The second dream, we actually went in the castle. It was very medieval inside, but was also religious (Christian). The entrance looked like a small church, and one of my teachers crossed (no idea if that makes sense; I can only say it correctly in Russian).I remember, that, going after him, I wanted to do the same, and I remember myself wanting to do it 3 times (he did it once), realizing it was better than one or two.

      A friend and I followed the two teachers (one a person I don't know) and we came to this room with large windows. The teachers climbed through one on this little landing off the side of the window with their feet hanging off, looking at this thing (a religious statue, also on the landing). The teacher I don't know (a female) called me onto the landing but I soon realized there was barely enough room for me (after making an attempt to climb on) so she climbed off with me, telling me that the shawls we were wearing over our heads should be worn on our shoulders, with the triangular tips on our cleavage, to show that we can be masculine too (something like that.. I don't remember exactly but I found it ridiculously weird).

      Suddenly, someone ran up and declared that a girl I know was throwing herself off the castle balcony. My teacher (the one I knew) ran outside, where the girl was standing on a balcony on the first floor, which was 3 feet off the ground, ready to jump off and commit suicide. The friend that was with me at the beginning was putting our winter jackets (although, in the dream, it was spring) on the ground below so the girl wouldn't die, jumping down 3 feet. Polina fell face first into the jackets. Then, two unknown DCs (male and female) appeared and started disabling a large cannon outside the castle. My teacher started yelling "Eliminators!!!" as soon as the word popped into my head. The female was disabling while the male was instructing her. She said she needed help and he came over. I remember questioning the reality of it all.

      Soon, the cannon turned into two snare drums, randomly. The female got the hand of the drums but the male had trouble.Two drumsticks appeared in my hands and I went over to the female's drum, which was keeping up a steady beat, and accompanied her by banging the tips on different parts of he drum, which sounded like different notes on those Caribbean steel instruments. I remember thinking this was very strange, and woke up.

      Bright Blue

      ~I had the perfect chance for an LD here but it just didn't happen...~

      I left my house with a bright blue tub top summer dress on, and everyone was staring in awe. After taking a few steps, I turned back, realizing that it was May and that my mom would get pissed if I didn't wear a sweater because it was breezy (I thought this dream was PURE reality).

      I remember a couple more dreams where I might have went lucid, but the dreams were so fuzzy and faint that I woke up so easily and I thought I was just imagining the dream in my head instead of actually dreaming.

      Game show

      ME and a friend were in this game show and if we won, we would have won 7 or 8 little children to raise. I must have won because they appeared in my very large house. A little boy was making a huge mess in my GIGANTIC kitchen, spilling everything and turning the stove and oven on. I ran after him, turning everything off, and found a male DC who was supposed to help me with the kids. He was obviously struggling with the job. The little boy ran into the living room and the couch became a moving object and started talking to him .When I came in after the boy, the couch was cross with me and told me to be nicer to the kids, and teach them not to do these things. At some point, I woke up; probably after I realized that this was ridiculous and that I was dreaming. ~Making an inanimate object move was the advanced monthly LD task this month~

      Stalkers n' Cats

      I dreamt something about two men, both my stalkers for unknown reasons (treasure and something weird and fictional like that). At the beginning of the dream, I meet one, and in the middle of the dream, the other jumps out at me in a parking lot. I'm pretty sure they both had the intent of killing me but decided not to.

      A cat (I think he came and visited me often at the very beginning, and I'm pretty sure he was male, and that he spoke to me) that I knew fairly well (just in the dream, not in reality) got stuck up high in an apartment building with other cats. I didn't know what to do and both of the men decided to help me. They suggested climbing to the top floors (12-16) to get the cat back, so we basically started rock climbing up the building. We turned into giants, alot bigger than the balconies, so it was easy. We used the balconies as hand and foot grips, but I had trouble because it felt like the building was going to fall on me. It also felt like cardboard boxes stuck together.

      When we came to a high floor, there were six cats. Two on each balcony. I started looking at them and tossed a few away before I could find the cat we were looking for.

      In the whole dream, the men were always making attempts to kill me or force information out of me but always changed their minds. The dream was dark most of the time. At the end, the second man told his master that he wasn't working for him and was stalking me to use me in finding treasure (he showed him a treasure made). At some point, the dream just ended.

      Polar Bears

      My gym teacher announced that there was going to be a dance next Monday and got together a choir during lunch time. Me and a couple of friends decided to go, but I didn't like it, and I left to go outside. I got my jacket on, even though everyone else was without sweaters or anything like that, which means it wasn't cold outside. I remember thinking that my mom will get mad if I don't wear a jacket.*

      Outside, there were large snow banks and there was alot of snow. There was also a lake, that was covered with ice blocks but wasn't completely frozen. I remember the air being chilly and our breaths visible. A ship (kind of like a large, fat ferry) came through the lake, turning around and going back the way it came (this actually happened numerous times, like it was replayed over and over again). There was also a huge polar bear, standing on a block of ice in the middle of the lake on it's hind legs. People were screaming, and a woman with a white camera twice her size started filming the bear. When the bear jumped into the water, she went in after it. I kept my eyes on her until the camera was completely submerged. How ridiculous.

      I walk over to a group of people I know, mostly acquaintances, and a girl (the same one that commit suicide by jumping off a balcony 3 feet off the ground in the last post) came up to me and started touching the fur on my white jacket. "Oh my gosh, it's sooo soft and warm." Next thing I know, alot of the people around me are touching my jacket (this happens quite often in rl, unfortunately ).

      I look past all the people and see a big snow bank with two legs sticking out from behind, wearing shorts this colour ---> . The guys were shoving a plastic female body into her legs and her legs were wrapping around it. My thoughts were a mix of horror and disgust, because I realized this was one of my closest and best friends (she was NOT like this), and I probably screamed and started running to her. At this point, I woke up (probably from over-excitement).

      FILD Attempt

      I woke up a few minutes after 7 AM and started trying a FILD. If I wake up around 6-8 AM, I can often, if I feel like it, go back to sleeping and dreaming really easily (I usually do this on weekends).

      The FILD lasted for 30 minutes, which sounds ridiculous compared to the 10-30 seconds that it's supposed to last in some tutorials. The last 5-10 minutes, I was seeing HI, and I'm pretty sure I started falling asleep, but I just didn't. I did the nose breathing RC multiple times, but it just wasn't happening. I also had to switch hands 3 times because my fingers felt rusted and gross, but for the last 10-15 minutes I kept my first (right) hand.

      Whilst seeing HI, I saw random scenes of a cardboard SALE! sign on a stack of something, the entrance to some school, snowy mountains, bison, mountain goats, etc. I also saw blue lights on my eye lids, like a big blue heart floating around, a man walking by (this was recurring), circles spiraling, etc. Kind of sounds like a WILD, not a FILD. Probably felt like one too.

      Near the end, the blue lights on my eye lids were replaced by more scenes and whiteness. My eyes started to fight open and eventually they opened the whole way, which is when I stopped. I got up and felt really strange. I did RCs, checked the time, looked into the mirror. Everything was normal, and I've been up ever since. I plan on trying FILD again, but this felt more like a WILD.





      * This is beginning to appear often. It might be a dream sign, and it's also very ridiculous. Yea, my mom gets ticked I don't wear the smallest thing, like a scarf or gloves, even when no one else except her does. I can understand that, but... in a dream? Ughh.

      March 30, 2008

      Went to bed late so I didn't remember any dreams until I fell sleep for 10 minutes after waking up in the morning.

      Super Powers

      Me and 4ish other girls I know were superpower girls and the bad guy mafia called us to ruin our plans to defeating him. Two of my guy friends got arrested from stealing a truck and we all got surrounded by police cars. One of the guys was carrying a red truck on his back. I was telling my friends to not to run away or we will look suspicious and they threw snowballs at the police and walked way calmly. I woke up.



      March 31, 2008

      I performed a WILD before bed (just randomly felt like it at the time) and fell asleep in 3 minutes, so I ought to try it again in the middle of the night when I feel like LDing feel in the mood (been having crappy evenings lately).

      I vaguely remember any dreams at all (I remember having one but don't remember it). This is probably because I've been going to bed almost exhausted and much later than usual.
