      Caradon's Dream Journal

      I've decided to start this new journal to get a fresh start. For the time being I'm only planning to post the more interesting or meaningful of my non Lucid dreams here. I'll probably move some of my favorites from my other non Lucid journal too. If I can find them that is.

      Three wheeling
      Best dreamsign recognized (sort of) but not quite Lucid

      This is a dream I had after my second ten minute WBTB last night.

      It starts out that I have a three wheeler, and I have it a shop for a tune up or something. (I actually have a four wheeler and motocross bike in real life, but no three wheeler.) I'm sitting on a bench waiting for the mechanics to get to me. But I then decide to take the three wheeler outside and play with it while I'm waiting.

      I get outside, there is a motocross race track outside the building. There is a teenage boy and girl talking. They are having an odd conversation about a friend of theirs that had recently died, and about how much crying that they have been doing.

      I get on the three wheeler and start racing around the track. There is one really steep jump with a near vertical ramp. I hit it kind of experimentally, a little nervous about getting too much air. (Not really sure how the three wheeler will handle on big jumps)
      It feels pretty smooth, and my confidence builds. I take another lap, avoiding some of the big double jumps. But I soon make it around to that to that huge steep jump again.

      This time I hit it a bit faster, and get some really big air. I manage to somehow mange to land it without breaking my neck. Now, I have a lot more confidence and hit the next jump at a good pace. I get good air, but I'm a bit out of whack. instead of trying to straighten it out, I lean into it doing a complete barrel roll in the air, then land perfectly. I then punch it and hit the next big double jump at speed, but I jump so far that miss the intended landing ramp. But I land smoothly on the landing ramp of the next set of doubles instead.

      Quite impressed with myself now, I can hardly believe how good I am at this. I punch it, leaning into the curve of the sandy burm corner. I now approach the really big, steep jump again. Just then two of the mechanics come out of the shop, to watch me. Now, with my new found confidence, and my desire to show off, I race towards the big jump with throttle wide open.

      I hit it, and rocket straight upwards, higher and higher. Until I'm far above the tallest trees, and look down at the track, and people, far below. I shout down to them." If this was a dream, I would be getting Lucid right now!" I hear one of them shout back at me. " You better do a reality check!" I think that this is a good idea, even though I'm completely convinced that this is real this time.

      I pinch my nose and can breath. I'm so convinced that this is real, that I think that it's just a crazy coincidence that I can breath. However, I do it again and can still breath.
      Even though I still don't really believe it, I'm not planning to stop reality checking until I prove to myself beyond doubt that it's not a dream.

      It doesn't really matter though, because I wake up while still in the process of doing reality checks.

      What a fantastic dream! Absolutely brilliant. Dreams like that are just as entertaining as lucid dreams I find. Reading that put a smile on my face. Oh how I can relate...

      Thanks, Yeah that was so fun I love those kinds of dreams. Annoying that I didn't instantly become Luicd when I got so much air, like I normally would. Oh well.

      Saturday/October/17/2009

      I'm dreaming that I had already woken up and gone to work.(Not really a false awakening because my first memory is of being at work.) While I'm working I'm thinking about a Lucid Dream I had earlier in the night. ( I'm not sure if this Lucid actually occurred. I didn't take a nape and went to sleep early. So I didn't have any good recall for about five hours. But I know I was dreaming during that time.)

      In the Lucid I'm remembering in this work dream, there is some kind of magical tower with a life of it's own. And there is some kind of crazy adventure that takes place within this tower. I don't remember much about it, but I do remember the feeling of being there. co-worker P was also in this Lucid with me.

      As I'm dreaming of doing my work, and thinking of this earlier Lucid with co-worker p. Co-worker P walks up to me and asks," what was the deal with that tower last night?" "You remember that! I ask? " Yeah, I was there." " I don't know," I say. "Do you have any idea what that tower was all about?" P shakes his head and says, "No, but that was some crazy shit. " Then he walks away.

      I'm so surprised and excited about P remembering being in this dream, that I turn to some other co-workers and start telling them about how P remembered being in my dream. After some discussion about this with others, I wake up. And I was like wtf, that was a dream too!?

      That was great!
      Some of my most favorite dreams are my dirt bike dreams. I just love how realistic the sense of speed is. It must have been amazing to be flying to ridiculously high on the three-wheeler.

      I wish I could remember more about it. I have the impression of a tall cylindrical tower, in a dark setting. It was alive, like some kind of supernatural entity. I don't even know if it was a real dream, or a false memory. After thinking about it a little bit, I remember that there was a castle like that in a book I read recently. I band of adventurers had to enter the castle, to find and defeat the magic that was giving it life. And the castle was creating all sorts of monsters and traps to try and stop them.

      Thanks. That's cool that your into dirt biking. Me too. It's been a couple of years since I had my bike out, though. Those are some of my favorite kinds of dreams too. There is always a good chance of me getting lucid during those kind of dreams. If I catch enough air,or ride long enough wheelies. For a while riding extra long wheelies was as good a dreamsign for me, as catching big air.

      Bear attack
      Tuesday/November/17/2009

      I was in the middle of some wilderness action adventure dream. I end up all alone, having left the group I was with. I come across a very large grizzly bear. I turn and run. The dream turns dark. It's now night, and I can't hardly see a thing. The bear is not far behind me. I can't see it, but I can hear it's growling and snorting. And the sound of it is terrifying. I run and run as hard as I can, but I know it can find me from sense of smell alone. I can hear it getting closer. There is nowhere to run to. It's pretty much wide open. The bear is on top of me now, and I dodge to the left and right barely avoiding being pounced upon. And I run some more, as fast as I can. I know it's hopeless, there is no escape. But then, out of nowhere, appears the edge of a high cliff. Without even hesitating I leap into open air. relief washes over me as I know I have escaped the bear. I don't think I will survive the fall, but that doesn't seem to matter. I fall through darkness for a short period, then wake.

      I think I'm going to start posting some non Lucids again. Just one or two from each night, if I have the time. If my wrists start getting real bad again I'm going to stop. Last night I took a break from concentrating on Lucid Dreaming, and just watched a bunch of weird freaky medical stuff on Discovery Health channel.

      Seven hours of sleep
      Five dreams recalled


      Diggers
      I'm out walking with my dog. Like usual in dreams she is not on a leash. We cross some rail road tracks. I hear my dog whine and I turn and look back. She is standing in the middle of the tracks holding up one paw as if something happened to it. There is a train coming now, and it's not far away. I make a mad dash for the tracks, grab her and pull her out of the way just in time. As the train goes by I can see the driver shaking his finger at me like it was my fault.

      After the train passes I begin hearing a weird clicking sound. and something begins digging up from below the earth. Small spherical creatures are digging up from underground for the attack. They are like some kind of artificially intelligent cybernetic machines, with razor sharp metallic claws. I realize that it was one of these things that had injured my dogs foot.

      Next thing I remember is being in some house. I have a friend there that tells me that it's ok for us to run around trashing the place. Why? I don't know, maybe because it's not real. I feel kind of Lucid as I run around the house, crazy, trashing everything. I don't remember that part real well. I begin hearing this weird clicking sound again, and I know it's the diggers rising from beneath the earth. I grab this metal blade that is more like a long tent stake, and run outside.

      Outside, I begin ferociously attacking the diggers. As each one I see begins to surface, I stab down at them, impaling them one by one on my spike. I wake during this.


      Back to school
      I'm on a little BMX bike riding to school. In the school parking lot I pull a wheelie and hold it all the way to the bike rack. I lock up my bike and head for the building. there is a really long line of people trying to get in.

      Next thing I know I'm in an apartment with a group of school friends as room mates. They are selling cocaine, and sitting around snorting it. some mundane stuff takes place in the apartment for a while.

      Then I'm outside by a lake with one of my friends. The bank is pretty high, and over grown with brown dead vegetation. I know it's winter even though there is no snow, and it's not cold. But all the plant life is dead. I look out across the lake, and despite the dead surrounding forest, it seems extraordinarily beautiful to me. I wait to see what it will be like here in the summer.

      My friend climbs down the bank to the water. He is on a mission to retrieve something. He says he always comes here to get sleeping bags. He fishes a sleeping bag out of the water and drags up the embankment, dumping it soaking on the ground before me. On the edge of recognizing this as a dreamsign, I think, what the hell, I've never heard of anyone fishing for sleeping bags before. I wake up at this point.

      Two sleep periods-Seven hours total
      Six dreams recalled

      On the run
      I'm a part of some weird freaky family. The family has this mutant kid that they keep hidden away from the world. The mutant kid has super powers. We live at some country farm house, there are several buildings. (Kind of like at my brothers.) I'm standing just outside the front of the main house. There is a person there, not a part of the family. I'm having some argument with this person. The mother is moving the mutant kid to some other building. The kid sees me arguing with this person. The kid doesn't like it, and he points his finger at the person. He uses TK, flinging the person into the air. He violently throws the guy around, killing him.

      Some other guy, (Maybe a brother.) And myself, wrap the body up in sheets and load it into our truck. We have to run away, and also hide the body. The other guy is driving. He takes off so fast that he loses control of the truck, and we go into the ditch. The truck rolls. Somehow in the process of the truck rolling I end up outside it on my feet. The guy and me push the truck back over onto it's wheels. I bitch him out for driving stupid. There is gasoline on the ground. The guy takes I flaming torch and ignites the gasoline.(Who knows why.) We drive away as flames leap everywhere.

      We stop at a gas station. The guy goes in to buy some things for our trip. I get out of the truck, too, And I see that all of the tires are flat. Wake up.


      After this dream I get up to use the bathroom, and I can not fall back to sleep. I lay there for an hour and a half, unintentionally WILDing. Several times I enter scenes Lucid for a short time, then waking up.

      With less than half an hour left, I finally fall back to sleep and have a really vivid dream about being back in Colorado, and working at my old cooking job there. Several times throughout the dream I consider that I could possibly be dreaming Don't Know why I didn't RC. Not much point in trying to describe everything that happened. A lot of annoying, confusing stuff going on.

      Moment of nap Lucidity
      I'm outside walking when Lucidity spontaneously washes over me.
      I look down at my watch for a quick confirmation, and wake up.

      I also had a skiing dream that could have easily turned Lucid. Not much to tell about it. I ski down a hill so fast that it was a little scary. Then make my way back to the top to do it again. I don't get a second chance though.

      One sleep period-four hours
      Four dreams recalled

      -Step brother is at the house. I'm making supper, and we're watching TV. There is some commercial that comes on advertising this weird device that can be attached to the back of any chair. The device has a crank tht can be turned to tilt back the chair, turning any ordinary chair into a recliner.

      -With family on some kind of contraption that is like a jungle-gym. The whole thing is being dragged across a field. I look down and see these big holes in the ground and worry we will get stuck in one. On the horizon there are water-towers rising above the tree line. there is something significant about pointing these out.
      We end up at some fire station and are playing with the water hose. Getting spayed with the water feels really good. There is some stuff about test driving a motorcycle.
      And some weird stuff about seeing a toy rocking horse, and remembering about when I had one like it as a kid.

      -With step brother again, in a car driving down a road. We pass a motorcycle shop and I see one that I think a like displayed in the window. Considering buying it, I tell my step brother to turn around.he does and we go look at it. The store is closed and we can't get in. I get a better look at the bike, though. It looks like junk now, and I no longer feel like wasting any money on it.

      -I'm climbing some trees and each time I climb up one it breaks in half and falls over.

      Two sleep periods-seven hours
      five dreams recalled

      Most of the dreams I recalled were to weird and disjointed to describe.
      .
      Had a really long work dream towards the end of my nap. A lot of weird stuff going on, not really any working.

      I had a Lucid early in my nap but I couldn't recall it. There were a lot of dreams that I lost, actually.

      Two sleep periods-six hours
      Eight dreams recalled

      Partial Lucidity
      I'm with a group of adventurers. We had parachuted into some unknown region.
      We all somehow use the same parachute. We discover some kind of ancient tome, or temple. I voice my concern about entering because of the possibility of many death traps. One of the members of the group assures me the he is skilled enough to detect and disable any traps. I believe him, and I'm now excited as we make preparations to enter the ancient place. But then I become disappointed as I remember that normally when I'm preparing for some event in dreams, the event never takes place before I wake up. sadly, I look up at the towering structure knowing I won't be going on the adventure.

      Bear dream-Partial Lucidity
      I'm Just outside the cabin. I see a black bear. I pick up a stick and start yelling wildly as I charge the bear. Some very partial Lucidity as I remember how I yelled at the bear in my last bear dream. The bear runs off scared, but does not completely run away. It just moves a ways out of my reach, then stops. This annoys me because I wanted it to run off into the woods and disappear. Several more times I try to chase it off, with the same result.

      Two sleep periods-five hours
      Seven fragments recalled

      Not sure what happened to my recall last night. Could hardly remember anything.

      Moment of Lucidity
      I randomly do a nose pinch RC, and become Lucid right away. I can barely remember anything about the setting. I just remember doing the RC and being Lucid for a few seconds before waking up. I'm pretty sure it was an indoor scene. And I know there were some other people around.

      Trapped bears
      I find some hole in the ground. There are two bears trapped in it, a mother and cub.
      I want to try and help them get out but I'm worried they will turn on me.

      Rabbits
      I'm watching some rabbits in my back yard trying to. They have dug holes in the snow, to the ground. They are trying to find some kind of vegetation to eat.

      bro's journal
      I'm reading a disturbing dream in bro's journal. The dream comes alive so that I can see it happening like a movie. The dream is about bro developing a close friendship with a golden retriever. They live by the ocean. The dog is out loose, and ends up going out to the ocean waters where it is attacked by a couple of sea lions. There is some very vivid and disturbing visuals of the dog being torn limb from limb and eaten by the sea lions.

      Wilderness
      Out on some wilderness trail. I'm planning to try and live out there and never come back.

      Infected
      I'm in some small town and people are getting some kind of deadly illness that starts off with a simple cough. People that are seen coughing are being rounded up and quarantined.

      No title
      I'm at home getting ready to go to my sisters place for something. At the last minute I change my mind.

      Missed a couple of really good dreamsigns, came close to Lucidity in one dream.

      Tornado
      I'm looking out the window of a house I lived in as teenager. Across the street there is a house enveloped in a black smokey looking cloud. I notice that this cloud reaches up to the clouds in the sky. Looking up at the sky I see that the clouds are pitch black looking. Then looking back at the house I see that the cloud had receded back to the sky. But the sky is still pitch black.

      Then, a little ways off, I notice what looks like a funnel cloud touching down. I can't see it that well though, and I'm not sure. But as I stand there watching for a little bit it becomes more clear. There is no doubt now there is a tornado on the ground, and It's it's not far away, not far at all. It's seems to be just beyond the houses across the street, and sweeping back and forth. I know I need to get into the basement, but I wonder if I have time to get my video camera and get a shot of it. The tornado seems way to close now, and I decide I don't have time for that. I get my dog and bring her with me to the basement.

      After being down there for a few minutes I decide to go back upstairs, I'm not sure why. I go out onto the three season porch and look out the window. The tornado is out of view, but I know it's still out there somewhere close. I know tornadoes don't usually stay down long, and I wonder how much longer it will be a threat.

      Just then the house begins to tilt to the side, and I know the tornado must be upon me. One side of the house gets torn off in a very realistic manner. I start to crouch down next to the closest wall but I notice the debris all over the place. I realize that if I stay here I'll be torn to shreds from flying debris. I make a run for the basement. I find what I consider the safest corner and I crouch down in it, trying to make myself as small as I can, hoping to survive the destruction. wake up.

      Last night I had a dream that was about as close to being Lucid as you can get, without actually being Lucid.

      I was in a room suspended in mid air by chains that were hanging from the ceiling. I was surrounded by several Hellraiser demons, including Pinhead.
      The Cenobites had long chains with hooks and blades attached to them.
      I was not afraid in the least bit. I was fully aware that none of this was real. But I was not really thinking of it as a dream. The Cenobites began whipping me with their hooked and bladed chains. The hooks and blades were tearing into me. I could feel my skin being sliced open, but it didn't hurt at all. This went on for a period of time. After a little while I started to become aware that this was a dream. But as I was becoming fully Lucid the dream faded.

      Darn, it could have been a really good one.
