It was so realistic it almost fooled me into non-lucidity, but not quite.

Nicely done! Very well kept dream journal as well..a pleasure to read. You've got some very good results and I'm quite envious . I dream about my computer and MSN frequently but have yet to insert myself into a facebook photo. Brilliant!

Toy Ferrari (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I came into possession of an extremely fast miniture F1 car, a red Ferrari. I took it to the North coast of Northern Ireland with some friends, where I drove it around roads on the edge of cliffs. Everybody else had their own version, but mine was by far the fastest. I wasn't very good at controlling it though, and I ended up flipping it into a field. Some girl laughed at me, but I told her not to worry, "I think it will still work!" Unfortunately it didn't, and I had to push it for miles. I came off with some technical bullshit to explain why it didn't work, using jargon I can't even remember now!

Rabid Cat Attack (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Me and my two friends were wandering round some kind of historic building. It might have been a cathedral or university. It was under renovation, and there was scaffolding all round it. We were looking for some sort of festival which was meant to be going on, but there was no sign of it. I looked over in a far corner and saw what we were looking for. It was a kind of parade, and all the people in the procession were carrying trays of buns. We went over and I tried to grab a bun off one of the trays but missed due to the scramble. I figured I'd wait until they did a second lap, but by that stage the trays were empty

Me, my friends and the hundreds of other people present were then summoned to sit on the floor of a large hall. Everybody bowed their heads for some reason, and then I was attacked by a stray cat. It was black and really skinny. It latched its teeth into my right index finger and started trying to chew it off. It wasn't sore at all but I decided to make a big scene just for the laugh. I started going, "Aaaaaarghh! Cat attack!" etc. My friend Darren then came over and pryed its jaws apart, before throwing it out the door. Everybody cheered. I said, "Better get checked out for rabies n' shit..."

Water Park (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in an awesome water park with some blonde girl. We were taking lots of photos. The main feature of the water park was a gigantic pirate ship suspended thousands of feet above the main park. It was held up by two huge elastic bridges, one at each end. Guests could walk from one cliff to another across the ship. Even though it was so huge, people walking across it made the whole ship bounce up and down. If you looked over the edge you could see tiny people swimming far below.

The ship was bouncing so much at one stage, the girl I was with fell off. I never saw her again! I made my way along the ship, until I found another girl, who was even hotter. I told her I lived underwater and invited her back with me. We had to get a submarine back to where I lived, which kept getting attacked by a giant squid/kraken creature. (Think the underwater sequence in The Phantom Menace) I took lots of photos of the monster, but only one decent one, showing all its tentacles.

The dream then skipped ahead to me, at home, telling my dad about the park. He suggested we go back there. However the place we went was a cheap substitute for the real thing. It didn't have a tropical climate, as had the other one, but it was raining slightly. This time I had only a disposable camera with me and took a multitude of crap shots. We crossed the "pirate ship" which was really just a bundle of logs joined together floating on water, over to a tree house. For some reason, this tree house was sponsored by the BNP. :S There was a guy in it with his kids wearing a BNP badge. He kept trying to put his youngest child down the slide but missing, sending him falling to the ground. The kid laughed his head off however, completely unharmed.

Back To The Future (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was walking round my old school. There was a train which followed a path along every major corridor. I rode around on the front of it. One time, it didn't stop where I needed off, so I put my feet on the track and pushed it in the other direction until it stopped moving. I then pushed it backwards for ages till I got where I needed to go. I went into an office with my favourite teacher from last year- the English Literature teacher. We had a long talk about university and why I didn't go this year. It felt kind of like a confession! lol

After that, I saw a friend of my brother's sitting on a chair outside the office. I hadn't seen him in years, so I gave him 5. I hopped back on the train, which suddenly became the train scene from Back To The Future Part III, where they are trying to go from the Wild West to the 1980's using a steam train. Unfortunately, the train simply fell off the end of the track and dangled there, supported by a few carriges that were still attached to the track above. Although, it had in fact created a portal to the future where the track ended. It just hadn't gone through. I was stuck down in the engine part. I pulled out some kind of modified umbrella, aimed it at the portal, and fired. The umbrella opened out with a weird gears mechanism, and floated me quickly up towards the portal. I missed completely and went through the floor of one of the above carriges.

Enormous WILD (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm honestly surprised I managed to stay asleep for as long as I did, I wasn't even tired. I'd estimate it lasted an hour and a half, but according to my clock it couldn't have been over 45 minutes. Unfortunately my recall is really hazy.

To begin with, I was in a hotel room. It was evening outside, and I was surrounded by people. I cant remember who they all were, but one was Chandler from Friends and another was a hot girl I know. I'll censor the details of what I did with the girl, but during that time, I had several false awakenings I managed to catch. Every time I would get the feeling that I was falling off my bed and rolling around the floor and needed to stop this in case I hurt myself. Luckily I wasnt so foolish, and remembered how messy my real life floor was, and imagined myself back where I had been. During one of these episodes I was aware of my real life body and sleep paralysis, and I forced myself to move. It was kind of like being submerged in treacle. Also, I was completely numb.

The next thing I remember is walking up a main road at night. I heard some rough voices calling my name threateningly so I picked up the pace. Then I thought, "Why?" and turned round to face them. I tried to levitate while I waited for them but couldn't manage it. When they came round the corner I found they were actually two short guys carrying boxes. I ran and flying rugby-tackled them anyway. We rolled all the way to the bottom of a grassy hill, about 100m away. I got up and looked around. There was some kind of battle in progress. People were sheltering behind a bus from gunfire. Two friends of mine ran up to me and said, "John, we need to get out of here!" I said, "Ok, I can do that." I linked arms with them both and teleported us back to the top of the hill (after a few tries). There was a party going on in a big mansion at the top of the hill. I spent some time mingling, then went into the living room, where people were watching a latino music channel. I found I could somehow salsa dance very well indeed. A girl told me to meet her upstairs, but to be quiet in case anyone heard me. A few minutes later, I danced out of the room backwards and becan to crawl upstairs. The staircase got really tight and I had crawl sideways to get to the top step, which creaked unbelievably loudly. I went inside her room, and a hideously ugly version of the girl greeted me. I said, "Is that the best my mind can do?" I waved my hand and walked past her and she vanished. I foucused on the girl from earlier, who was much hotter. She appeared on a bed. The rest, I shall leave out.

I had three or four epically long dreams last night, which I don't know if I can be bothered typing up. It would literally take about two hours!
(All non-lucids)
In case I decide to later, here's some reminders for myself...

Dream 1: Invited to special screening of a movie. The host planned to kill everybody once inside, so I skipped it. Persued by host, lost him. Big entertainment centre on a hill above a town. I explore with some friends. Host tries to gas us with dog fart.

Dream 2: I'm part of an excavation team in Egypt. Dug up a big monument. At sunset, the light shines over the hill in such a way it makes thousands of stones sparkle. V. spectacular. Hop on a boat shaped like a hot dog to other monument. Rest of the team gets on other boats. Everybody gets lost.

Dream 3: Evil Santa invades supermarket, captures somebody and flies away. Me and a few others fly out through the roof after him, all the way to NYC. I have to hold on to two other people flying because I'm scared of heights. We "borrow" a disused mansion on the outskirts which belonged to some distinguised family. We somehow become like the Addams Family. Sort of ghostly/paranormal traits. Government tries to hunt us down, so we take control of the bodies of a random couple and walk into town. Nearly get run over by a tank.

Dream 4: (Fragment) My old neighborhood became a huge hill. I flew in standing position down to the bottom, where a weird cat woman was waiting.

Technology in Danger! (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was lying on my front on the beach, playing around on my laptop, for some reason. It was a sunny day and the beach was full of people. My brother was lying beside me. I worried about getting sand in my laptop, but I remembered that it was irrelevant as I was dreaming. However, I still felt a strong attachment to my laptop, like I should try to protect it!

Right at that moment, a wave swept up the beach and submerged my laptop. I was half amused and half panicking for my dream laptop. (Not the "laptop of my dreams" lol) When the wave subsided my laptop was half buried.



I had a false awakening here. I was lying in bed feeling really drowsy, absolutely sure I was actually awake. I checked my hand to be sure, and it had six fingers. I was like, "Whaaat?" and checked again, because I was so surprised. I accepted the truth that I was dreaming and tried to get out of bed. For some reason the drowsiness stayed with me, and when I tried to get up, everything felt really heavy. My head rolled about on my neck, and I coundn't stand straight; it was like I had no spine!

Naked, if Possible! (WBTB)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had the longest, most stable lucid ever this morning, and had great control! Only problem is... can't remember the most of it! I had a great time though.

I was running along a suburban street in the rain, at night. I was playing some sort of game, possibly hide and seek. I was hiding in a giant green bin for a bit, but then I thought, "Who cares if anyone sees me! With that in mind I ripped off all my clothes (who knows why) and jumped proudly out of the bin. I took a running leap and it was as if gravity had been cancelled out. I flew straight and streadily up the street and landed comfortably on the roof of a house. I could see no-one around, so I went inside, via a small window in the conservatory. I had to slide in like a snake through the gap, and I knocked over lots of ornaments and a lamp.

A while later, I remembered an old "lucid task of the month" I had never attempted, which was to "somersault in the air". I stepped up on the arm of the big brown settee and did a flip. I nearly got it! I landed on the top of my ass, where the tailbone is. There was no pain, just a thud. I lay there and laughed.

I think I became non-lucid for a while, because I remember trying to type something on this laptop and not being able to work out why nothing would work. I'm a pretty speedy typist normally and it was frustrating me to no end. Somebody was sitting beside me, and was greatly amused at my situation. Then I realised, "What if I'm dreaming and that's why I can't type!" I was quite amazed at the fact I was dreaming, and said out loud, "Sweet, round two!" Then I ripped my clothes off again. Don't ask me why, something about the freedom of no rules! I strolled confidently downstairs (I was in my bedroom) and out the front door.

I had a false awakening which I caught. Unlike last time, I was able to heave myself out of bed. Good times.

Some missing time here, during which I'm sure something awesome and interesting happened, but I can't remember. I do remember, however, trying to convince myself that I would remember all this when I woke up. That's what leads me to believe some significant shit happened. One thing I remember doing after this is flying hella fast. I crouched in something like the sprint starting position and kicked off. I flew up and forward like a rocket, at an angle of 40 degrees. It was unbelievably fast, and soon I passed through some thick, wet clouds.

Unfortunately, not much else I recall!

Nuclear Bomb Plot (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Me and my friend Mark were sitting in his house talking. Out of the blue, he came up with the plan that we should blow up the city with a nuclear bomb. This didn't seem at all strange to me, so I went along with it. I had it in my mind that we would probably get in trouble for blowing up the city, but I was too deep in a "go with the flow" kind of attitude.

We went round to B&Q, where we bought a nuclear bomb. It cost us £20 altogether. I gave mark my tenner and he went up to the till to pay for it. When he came back he had the bomb. It was a big gold ball about the size of a TV. There were ornamental markings on the outside, and an LED timer on the top. Mark explained that he chose this one because it had a blast radius of 7 miles, but it could also be programmed to only explode in one direction, giving us a safe getaway route. We carried it on to a bus bound for the city centre. It was pretty heavy, so I held one end and Mark held the other. Nobody seemed in the least bit conerned that we were hefting around a WMD! We waited on the bus until the very last stop, which was the bus depot. We got off, thanked the driver, and headed round the back of another parked bus. We planted the bomb near the back left wheel. Mark set the timer for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and we legged it.



A little while later I was sitting at home watching the news. A report about our bomb came on.
"Police have discovered an unexploded nuclear bomb in the central bus depot. Who is responsible for this remains a mystery, but authorities are speculating that it may be the work of anarchist teenagers."

Controlling Speed of Flight (WBTB)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a real quickie, but fun nonetheless. I'm not sure if it was a WBTB or a DILD, but I'll say it's a WBTB since I did plan to get lucid.



I was sitting outside a cafe in town drinking coffee. On a balcony above me Jonathan Ross and another guy were having a chat. Having nothing to do, I listened to them for a bit, before wondering how the hell I got there. Then I remembered I had just gone back to bed with the intention of entering a lucid dream. This was enough to "lucidify" myself. I tried to remember some of my dream goals but I couldn't. I thought I might as well get in a bit of flying practice. I imagined myself having the properties of a helium balloon, and levitated myself about a metre off the ground. From there I zoomed around the streets, missing people by inches and causing them to jump out of the way in alarm. At one point I came to a big wooden door which effectively closed off the rest of the street from me. I tried to phase through it but I just bumped off. I turned back around and looked for an alternate route. In front of me was a straight run out towards a car park. I thought I should try and control my speed. I took off and gradually built up speed, until I was going about 30mph. I then concentrated on slowing down, which I managed after about 10 more seconds. "Not the ideal braking distance," I thought. I was pleased anyway, but then my actual leg gave a strange involuntary jerk which I felt in the dream. "Shit, here I go..." I thought. And I woke up a few seconds later.

Opression in China and Brazil (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID



This was a long and very weird dream where I tried to free the oppressed peoples of China and Brazil. In my dream they were connected by land! Apparently Geography goes down the drain just like typing skills. I can't remember very many details, but it went something like this:

I was wandering around a Chinese city with a friend. We had to cross a large road with a roundabout in the middle. The middle of the roundabout was a rice paddy with wooden spikes all over it to keep out intruders. I discovered this the hard way when I tried to walk straight over it. We approached a kind of diner, and the owner came rushing out to greet us. He looked terrified, and was very anxious to get us inside to buy something. I was kind of wary because of the way he was acting. Then I noticed metal spikes starting to protrude from under his skin! He quickly explained to us that the government had made it so if the citizens didn't get money off tourists quickly they would be impaled from within! I handed him some cash in exchange for a bun and the spikes disappeared back inside.

Basically, I decided I wasn't having this and went to Brazil, where I was told the solution would be. Brazil was just a massive jungle, with paths through the trees. I had to find some sort of guru man who sold multicoloured inscense sticks, which would somehow help. Weird stuff.

Wand Battle (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was walking around a room in a tower block with a load of the characters from Harry Potter. Turned out I was a wizard too. Snape was walking around looking very smug- I can only assume that it was because of his new breast implants. There was another Hogwarts teacher creeping about who looked pure evil. I must have just invented him, because he's not in the real HP. He was very short, with a hunchback, a pale face with big yellow eyes, and sharp teeth. He wore an elaborate robe and lots of jewellery. He started telling me off for my earring, and to fool him, I pretended to be just scratching my face with it, rather than putting it in my ear. As he turned away, I booted him in the ass.

This turned me lucid for some reason! It was night outside, and out of the clouds came Draco Malfoy and a bunch of death eaters. They were on broomsticks, and flew around outside the largest window making threatening gestures. Everybody inside was scared. I stood up on a desk beside the window. "Never fear!" I said. "This is a dream! And I'm a fucking wizard!" I turned sideways to the window, and elbowed it with my right arm. It shattered, and glass blasted outwards. I got out my wand, and realised I didn't know any spells. I decided to make up my own. I pointed it at a death eater and shouted "Boom Headshot!" His head exploded and he plummeted from the sky. I used the "boom headshot" spell on about five more, but it felt a bit like overkill; too easy. I jumped out of the window (which took some psyching up) and immediately started to fall. I concentrated on slowing my descent until I stopped about 20m below the window. There were still death eaters above me swooping about on broomsticks. This gave me an idea. I put my wand between my legs, and it extended to form a broomstick. I zoomed back up to the window's height to resume the battle. Unfortunately when I got there the scene had completely changed. Everyone had gone, and the window wasn't broken. I could see into several rooms, where people were working on computers. I lost lucidity somewhere around here, and I can't remember what I did next. I might have woken up, not sure.

Nice Dreams! They are fun reading. Keep up the dreaming!

Granny's House (WBTB)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Overall, a damn successful morning for lucid dreams. Went for a WBTB, and got really deepy relaxed. Had some hallucinations for the very first time! I decided lying on my back wasn't working for me (since I always sleep on my side), so I rolled over and started feeling like I was "spinning" almost right away. This has never happened to me before, it was some freaky shit!

I "woke up" in my Granny's old house, lying on the floor of the living room. I sat upright, but there was no strength in my back muscles and I flopped back down. I had to do a sort of rocking motion to get up. I looked out the window. It was late afternoon in early Autumn. As I stepped out into the hall, I saw that the front door was lying open which was weird. My Granny in known to do some strange stuff, but she is very careful about security! I (of course) expected my "dream Granny" to be the same! I thought about leaving the house and flying off somewhere (if I could manage it), but I heard a noise from the kitchen. I walked round to the door of the kitchen and looked inside. My Granny was making a meal, wearing her normal clothes, but with a massively oversized white t-shirt on as well. I tried to ask her what she was doing wearing that, but my voice didn't seem to work.

I felt the dream slipping away...

Last Day of School (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I came out of the previous dream after quite a short time. I wanted another go, so I thought about tactile sensations I had used in the past as a springboard. I went for a new one, which was typing on my laptop. I think it worked so well because it takes quite a lot of conentration- but you're concentrating on something imaginary, so a dream is created around it. I was typing as if I was talking on MSN, but no-one was replying. I kept looking up at the screen to see what I typed, but the stuff on-screen wasn't even close to what I meant to type! It was readable English, but complete gibberish; random words strung together.

One time when I looked up at the screen, the user-interface of MSN was overlaid on top of a scene in my old school. "Sweet, I must be in," I thought. I forgot about MSN and started walking up a corridor. It was nearly night time- or it could have been just the end of a school day in deep winter. Either way, it was getting dark outside. I went into the assembly hall, where the headmistress was giving a speech to all my year. I suddenly realised that this was the last day of school. I looked around, and everybody was really sad. Some people were crying. I lost lucidity for a bit, and went around trying to cheer people up. I got a few photos taken with friends and teachers.

07.12.2009

Stylish Escape (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I did the typing technique again, and had a false awakening in my bed, in my old house.

I remembered that I didn't live there anymore and became lucid. I went downstairs and looked out the living room window. There was a girl lying on the bonnet of a black car in the street. I was going to go out and "say hello" to her, but my friend Mark called at the door. We went into another part of my house, which for some reason became a petrol station. There were strange products crammed into the shelves, and I had a feeling they were all to do with dreaming, somehow. I talked to Mark for ages, and eventually revealed to him that this was a lucid dream and that he was merely a construct of my mind. I didn't put it this articulately in the dream, I said something along the lines of, "This is a dream, and you aren't real!" Always tactful. I wouldn't even have said this had I not read a thread earlier on DV about telling dream characters that they weren't real! Mark was really offended! He looked down and said, "Alright well..."

Suddenly an alarm went off and the shutters started closing. I raced outside and got on a bike. I thought (and hoped) that it was a motorbike, but it turned out to be a standard bicycle. I got out of the petrol station in time and sped off down the road. I kept trying to turn the bike into a motorbike so I wouldn't have to pedal, but I couldn't. I even tried "revving" the gear changer and making "Vrooom!" noises, but to no avail.



I was heading into town, and wanted some music to brighten up the journey. "Sweet Home Alabama" started playing and I sang along. Unfortunately I couldn't remember the words- not even the automatic "dream jukebox" playing the music could remember it exactly, so I mixed'n'matched pieces from different verses to make the song work! It played, but made little sense. I decided to take a walk on the wild side and pedalled into oncoming traffic. Most cars tried to avoid me, but one old green one didn't. I did a jump and bounced off the windscreen with my back wheel.

I finally reached a roundabout in the middle of the city centre. I jumped off the bike and let it roll away. I found my brother's friend Adrian coming out of Starbucks with a few people, and I stopped to say hello. I think I lost lucidity here, because I spent a long time listening to a pointless conversation about a Facebook group Adrian was starting, then joining the group on his iPhone.

Awesome Dream Journal, probably the most fun I've had reading one.
I enjoyed reading about how you suddenly realise that you're dreaming, then you do the RC after (instead of the other way around).

Still trying to nail the DILD, doing more RCs etc., I will get it soon.

Thanks! It's awesome to know I'm entertaining people with this stuff. I always do the RC's anyway, it helps to remind me I'm dreaming, cement it in a bit. I see you're from Norn Iron too! Yeeeooooo!

Hah aye, so at least one person here got your references to some locations.

Mutilation (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Tons of dreams last night, absolutely tons. Can't remember them though! Bollocks. Got one fragment which is truly fucked up!

I was tied down with two other people on the floor of a hotel room. We were being held prisoner by some kind of psycho killer who was into mutilating his victims before finishing them off. I was in the middle of the two other people, one was a girl and the other was a guy. I won't go into details, cuz it's a bit sick, but none of us had a lot of skin left after 15 minutes! No pain or blood though!

We eventually escaped and ran downstairs and outside. I realised I was missing one of my front teeth. The lack of that tooth was making the one beside it loose too, for some reason. I was pretty raging about losing that tooth. Apparently I had suffered no lasting damage from the skinning. Weeeeeiiirrrd shit.

Haha awesome. I hate dreams with losing teeth 'cause I'm always really pissed off about it.

I looked at my friends' A level psychology text book and their reasoning behind dreams with lost teeth was a "fear of being caught masturbating".
