Caradon's Lucid Dreams

[Caradon]

Hmmm seems I can edit my first post, but not the last.

Night of 5-20-07 dry spell ended, at least I hope it is! It starts out, that I am in my house, and it's just down pouring rain outside. I go to the window, and look out. I see that the heavy rain, is causing a flood. the water is already up to the edge of the window, and rising fast. I feel the house actualy start to move. It's getting lifted from it's foundation, and beginning to float. the flood water has a current, and is starting to push the house. The house starts to tilt on it's side, and I am on the side that is tilting into the air. The current gets stronger, and pushes the house into a roll. At the same time, I fall towards the lower part of the house, and begin to tumble around and bounce off the walls, as the house rolls a few times. It's hard to describe what happens next, because I am a little disorientated. I'm not sure if I went out a window, or what. but I distinctly remember entering the water, and the house falling away from me. The house is gone now all together, and I am getting pushed along at high speed. The momentum of the water is very powerfull. I am desperatly trying to twist and turn, to avoid getting slammed into things, like telephone poles and trees. and what ever else may be in my path. Now the current starts to form a wave. I am on the top of the wave as if surfing. but I am still partially submerged in the water. I am kind of stuck there, the water has a good grip on me. the wave starts out not real huge, but it is growing as it washes forward. Until it becomes a massive wall of water, hundreds of feet high. It's just like in that movie impact, when the asteroid hits the ocean. And I am riding this monster thing! I can see lots of people running and screaming in terror, trying to get away. I am wondering, how I will manage to survive, once this thing comes crashing down. Now I am having a hard time, comprehending the situation that I am in, and it starts to click that I am dreaming. At first it's just kind of wishful thinking. But as I think about it a little bit, the full realization that I am dreaming washes over me. (I love that feeling) I see all the people running in terror, and I feel bad for them. So I start yelling "this is a dream!" I yell it a few times. I want to let them know they don't have to be afraid. I have gotten into the habbit, of pretending that my dream characters are real people. but in my last half a dozen Lucid dreams, I have started doing it in an almost nonlucid way. so I think I will have to stop doing that. I'm not sure what made me think, yelling this is a dream into a mob of panicked people, would make them feel better anyway. I give up on that and look around. I see that the wave is very wide. And I can see a couple of other people caught the way I am. I decide I will try to get up, and walk across the top of the wave. I don't like being stuck in the water the way I am. I figure once I get myself free, I will get the situation under control. and try for a Lucid task. Or talk to an animal. (Moonbeams Task) So I start to pull myself up from the water, But as I am getting to my feet I wake up This dream was pretty wild, and very vived. I have a lot a dreams about motion. But this Tidal wave thing was a new one.

I used to have falling elevator dreams a lot. I never had a conscious fear of them. But, one time when I was kid, I got into an elevator alone. when I came to the floor I wanted, The doors would not open for me. I freaked out, and started banging on the doors yelling, until somebody came and got me out. this is the only explanation I can come up with for them. I started using the elevator dream as a dream sign, and I would become Lucid every time it happened. But it didn't take to long before I stopped having the dream. This is one of the last times that it happened, and the only one that really stuck in my mind. A past Lucid Dream: Date unknown. I step into the elevator, and the doors slide closed. There is another guy in the elevator with me. I am not sure if I pushed any buttons, but the elevator starts going down. I start to hear some strange sounds, then the elevator starts jerking around violently, then begins falling fast. Instantly I realize I am dreaming. I calmly sit down, with my back against the back wall, and my legs crossed. The other guy with me, is starting to freak out really bad. I say to him," relax this is a dream, we wont hit the ground, because there is no ground" then I tell him, that he should reach out with his thoughts, and he will be able to feel that it's a dream. Then he says to me," you know I think your right." I say, "I know I am right!" Then, I am sitting there for awhile just enjoying the falling. And I am making sure that we don't hit any ground, in a way that I don't know how to describe. then something odd happens. The walls of the elevator become transparent, like glass. And without noticing any change in motion, we are no longer falling, but flying across an amazing landscape, in a glass box. And I am controlling our flight. After flying for awhile I set us down. we get out, and I am about to go find some other adventure, when I wake up. I wish this dream would still happen.

Lucid task for the month of May 2007 completed Uproot a tree and make it walk. I am in an apartment with an old friend, when I suddenly become Lucid for no reason. My friend has the refrigerator door open, and is going through stuff. I think he is getting ready to make something to eat. I tell him he should quit doing what he is doing. because this is a dream, and he is wasting time. to my surprise he actually believes me. I don't think of the Lucid task right away. The first thing that I think of doing, is pinching my nose and trying to breath. I have wanted to try this since reading about it here. I tell my friend about it, and we are both sitting there pinching our noses and trying to breath. It takes me a few times to get it right. But eventually I have my nose pinched, and I am breathing fine.(it's kind of cool) So, my friend and I, walk out into the living room. I am all excited, and doing kind of an happy dance. And I am levitating pretty much everything in the room. I have stuff floating around all over the place. suddenly, I hear my friend say "Check this out." So I turn and Look. There are three copper colored bars, protruding from the top of his skull. The bars curve forward, and there are light bulbs screwed into the ends of them. It's Like there is a lamp stuck in his head. His eyes are open very wide, and bugging out of there sockets. And also, his eyes are rolling wildly in different directions. He has his hands above his head, and is holding onto the light bulbs and turning them. (I never saw anything quite like it before) I say "whoa cool trick man! I then run up the side of the wall. I jump off the wall, and try to spin through the air, and land on my feet. But I end up falling on my ass. I am thinking, man I have better skills than that! Now I am thinking, well I'm here Lucid, and I have no Idea what I want to do next. And I am thinking about how I had just mentioned, being in this situation, in a post on DV. Then I think Holy crap! The Lucid task! I get really excited, and I take off running towards the door. I spin once, hoping that it will help keep me in the dream long enough. I yank the door open, and go running down the hall as fast as I can. I get outside, and it is a little dark out. Suddenly, my eye lids feel real heavy. I am thinking, its because I don't have my glasses on. But I'm like, that can't be right, I don't need glasses in a dream. Then, Oh I bet it's because I'm stoned, That makes sense. ( I have not smoked pot in a lot of years) I stopped thinking about it and the sensation went away. I went looking for a tree. In front of the building was a group of medium size trees. It's pretty windy, and the trees are blowing around wildly. I reach out with my thoughts, and levitate the tree right out of the ground. The tree is now floating through the air, with it's roots dangling. Hmm, the task is make a tree walk, not fly! Now I notice that the trees are laughing at me.(kind of fascinating) So, I lower the tree so it's touching the ground. I make it kind of hop along a little bit. But it's roots are not moving, so it's not walking! I decide, I am going to put it back in the ground, and try all over. I lower it into the ground. But I lose control of it's descent, and it sinks into the earth, and Vanishes. So I try pulling it back up again. As I do, the top most branches appear. And they now look like, silvery metal tentacles. And they are whipping around all over. I am struggling with getting this thing out of the ground, when I wake up.

Night of 5/27/07 at the cabin. The first thing I remember, is being at the top, of a tall chain link fence. It had barbed wire along the top of it. below me is a German Shepperd. It's very pissed at me for some reason. It's doing the whole bared teeth thing, and snarling. There is someone there, that decides to help me out. the DC, throws a steak or something, as far away from me as he can. The dog goes for it, and I decide to jump down. I have a gray sweatshirt on, and the sleeve is now caught on the barbed wire. I try to pull it loose, but its hooked pretty well, and I can't. Finally I just jump, and the weight of my fall tears it loose. I Land on my feet and start to run. The dog looks up and comes after me. But I now have super human speed, and I leave the dog far behind. I am running so fast everything is a blur. suddenly I am approaching the edge of a cliff. The cliff is not real high, just one or two hundred feet. I am trying to decide what to do as I approach it. It does not even occur to me, that I could stop running. I guess, I am having a brave moment. I just jump without even slowing. Once in the air, I instantly realize I am dreaming. (Getting airborne, is a familiar dreamsign for me.) I land on my feet, and I am so caught up in the joy of the moment, that I just keep on running. suddenly, I approach the edge of another cliff. I leap into the air, and I am screaming stuff like "wooo hoooo" and "yeee haaa." I land on my feet again, and keep running, and running. Cliffs keep appearing in front of me, and I keep jumping and screaming. I wake up after not to long of a time. I normally don't have problems with dogs in my dreams. But I do get a lot of bears, and mountain lions.

When I first learned Lucid dreaming, and after I got really good at flying. I must have had nearly a dozen Lucid Dreams in a row. Where I did nothing but fly across dreamscapes at high speed. as fun as this was, it was starting to feel like all of my Lucid dreams were exactly the same. This is how I discovered free falling. A past Lucid Dream: Date unknown I don't remember what point I became Lucid, or how I came to be in this spot. The first thing I remember, is being on the roof of this very tall skyscraper. I want to try something different, but I still have a strong desire to be airborne. There is a short wall around the edge of the roof. I step up onto it, and look out across the most amazing cityscape. It is a little dark, and the city is lit up. (It is very beautiful) I look down, and I can see the lights of traffic far below. I turn around and inch backwards, so that the heels of my feet, are over the edge of the drop. I hold both arms out to my sides, and take a deep breath and relax. Then I gently tilt backwards, and let myself fall. The feeling of falling backwards, without looking down at the drop, is so real It's just awsome. I let myself tumble, end over end, faster and faster. With the wind rushing over me. once I get close to the ground, I put both hands out in front of me, and land on my hands. I do a hand spring onto my feet, then I fly back to the top of the roof, and do it again. It was so much fun, that I kept doing this until I woke up.

I'm going to post these here because they were significant enough to me. Sunday night I was Lucid, but they were early in the night, and my recall was bad for the firsts part of the night. I only know that I was doing something that Would have gotten me into trouble if I were to do it in the waking world. I'm not sure what it was though. I didn't sleep in very long last night. And the dreams I remembered I forgot to take notes on except for one. The ones I didn't take notes on, I forgot. stupid. I'm having a shitty recall period. WILD attempts From the last two days #1 I had an odd experience where I started to hear a woman laughing. Though I had the odd perception that this time the voice I heard was not in my mind. Rather I was in her mind, like a part of her subconscious. She was awake, and I could here her voice. For a moment, there I actually thought I was in somebody else's mind. It was weird. # 2 I enter the scene with partial Lucidity. I'm in my kitchen, with a wash cloth. I'm wiping off some stuff that's on my dry erase board on my refrigerator. I think, wait a second, I don't want to wipe this stuff off. Then, oh yeah, It does not matter because I'm dreaming. So I continue to wipe it off, thinking it would be a good idea to continue the action I entered the dream with. After a moment of wiping the board off, I open the refrigerator door. Sitting on a shelf, in an open plastic bowl, is some sliced ham. I pick up a piece and eat it. It tastes good. Just like ham. It even feels cold. I make a mental note to remember to write how the ham tastes in my journal. I then close the door and walk out into the living room. As I enter the living room, the dream is gone. # 3 Two early morning ones. I'm laying on my back trying to WILD when a fragment of a dream comes back to me. I turn over and begin to write down the fragment in my note book. as I'm writing it down, I realize I'm actually dreaming this. I'm able to focus on the notebook and hold myself in it for a decent amount of time. It fades out just a little bit a couple of times, but I keep pulling myself back in. # 4 I was thinking about a music DVD I have. I suddenly find myself putting the DVD in the DVD player. I'm Lucid and continue to mess around with the DVD player a little. I then spend quite a bit of time walking around my living room, barely holding onto the dream. The scene kind of fades in and out, so that sometimes it's completely solid, and other times the scene around me is kind of ghostly insubstantial. I eventually give it up.

Damn, Lucid four times in the last two nights but lost most of it because of some bad recall. I'm counting this one I had my nap, just because I'm pissed about losing so much. A Lucid Dream Sunday/April/19/2009 Lucid Dream # 15 of 2009 Lucidity trigger unknown I had woken up from a Lucid in my nap, and was excited about getting Lucid again. But I fell right back to sleep and entered another dream Lucid. It was like a continuation of the one I woke up from. There was somebody with me, and I was telling them about the dream I was just having. There was something about a big stadium, and I was doing tricks for a crowed. Going of big jumps doing acrobatic stunts. I was telling the person with me about this. and I was Lucid while telling them about it. Then I decide to show off. I say, "Watch this." I'm in a room, and there s a chair. I run towards the chair. I jump into the air, kick off the backrest of the chair, then tuck into a ball doing a slow but perfect back flip. While spinning in the air, I think, ahh that feels good. Then I land perfectly on my feet, and wake up again. And I have hardly any recall of the Lucid I was having before that.

[Caradon]

This one took place somewhere around two and a half hours into sleep, and after hitting snooze a couple of times. A Lucid Dream Wednesday/April/29/2009 Lucid Dream # 16 of 2009 Lucidity trigger unknown It starts out that I'm in a buffet restaurant with my family. I don't remember all the details of the beginning that well, But I wasn't finished eating and the rest of my family was getting up to leave. Somebody tried to take my plate of food and make me go with them. I got really pissed off and threw the plate across the restaurant. As most of my family walked out the front door, I turned back to the buffet line. I notice that my brother has come back to try and get me to leave. But now I'm so pissed off that I go kind of crazy. I can't remember everything I did here, but I know that I became increasingly obnoxious, and was making a huge scene. I didn't care at all what anyone thought. I believe that this somehow led to my Lucidity. There is a gap here in my memory. I don't remember leaving the restaurant and going into a grocery store with my brother. But the next thing I remember is that we had just entered a grocery store. And I'm now Fully Lucid. The first thing I notice is that there are hardly any people. This makes me think of a thread I read at DV. Even though I know it's not true the the person was saying that they didn't think the mind could create large crowds very well. After looking around a bit, I see that there are a few people cleaning up. And I see a guy with a mop bucket too. I guess the place is getting ready to close, that's why it's so empty. The place looks similar to a Rainbow Foods near me. I'm standing in what would be the produce section in real life. But instead of vegetables there is a long, glass, case like counter. A lot like something you would see at a jewelry store. The glass counter runs the length of this side of the store. Locked inside are fancy white bread rolls, with a white powder on them. My brother has walked off a little ways, doing something, I don't know what. I still have this crazy rage feeling lingering over from the previous part of the dream. On a whim, I leap up onto the glass case counter, and shout really loudly. "WTF does a person have to do to get some rolls around here!" I get down on my hands and knees and start punching the glass, trying to smash it. It doesn't break though. I begin crawling along the top of the counter, continuing to punch the glass. I see a man standing by the counter holding a plate of food. (Must still have a bit of restaurant theme going in my head.) On his plate, is a cupcake with white frosting. still crawling, I'm right next to him now. "Give me a bite of that"! I demand. I shove my face onto his plate, taking a huge bite out of the cupcake, and leaving the rest of it smashed into crumbs. I can tell that I have frosting smeared all over my face, I can feel it. I crawl along the counter some more. I now see this girl with long dark hair. She is wearing a dark leather like jacket, and blue jeans. She is standing up, but kind of bent over the counter leaning on it. She has her eyes closed like she is sleeping. I crawl up to her, lean in and kiss her on the lips. The frosting on my face gets on her lips too, and I can taste the sweetness as I kiss her. She opens her eyes, and I say. " Hey there sweet lips." I notice my brother standing right next to us now. I say to him." She has really sweet lips. You should kiss her and find out." I notice that the girl has started laughing. I guess she thinks my dumb joke is funny. Just then my alarm goes off. Annoying, this dream really felt like it could have lasted a lot longer. I wasn't even worried about waking up from kissing the girl.

A Lucid Dream Thursday/May/6/2010 Lucid Dream # 29 of 2010 Lucidity trigger Unknown I'm still having some recall issues, but it's starting to get better. I'm on a bridge high above an ocean. I'm aware that I'm dreaming but my Lucidity level is very low. (I think I figured out how to describe this weird natural type of Lucidity I keep getting. It's like I know that I'm dreaming without being fully aware that I know I'm dreaming. If that makes any sense.) I'm with someone. There is a powerful feeling to the dream as I look out across the ocean scene. The waves in the distance are huge. They look like blue mountains on the horizon. It's not scary at all.It's very beautiful. The person with me is female, that's all I really remember about the DC. The only reason I'm even sure I was Lucid at this point is because of what I remember saying to her. I say, "I just want to jump off this bridge, fly out over the water, dive in and spend the rest of this dream exploring underneath the ocean." But it seems as though there is something more important that her and I were doing that needed to be finished. I'm not even sure what that is. I follow her along the bridge for some time. Some stuff happens that I can't remember, then I eventually decide I'm going to make my jump from the bridge. At this point I remember thinking, since this is a dream I can just dive off the bridge. The girl I was with continues down the bridge as I step out onto this small half circle platform. (This part of the dream I remember The most clearly.) I shout to the girl several times. "Watch this!" until she finally turns and looks my way. I look down at my feet and I have no shoes on, just socks. The scene now is kind of weird. Directly below me is land, a little ways out the ocean begins. There is this huge structure out in the water. It's like a giant elaborate stadium bleachers with many people on it. Just as I'm about to jump I get confused. I think, what if this isn't a dream? Why do I even think this is a dream in the first place? I think back and I don't remember anything causing me to become Lucid. Now everything is starting to feel too real and I start tho think I was crazy for thinking this was a dream. But then, oh I know I should just do a reality check to find out for sure. I pinch my nose closed and I breath in and out a couple of times. I then say out loud. "Well, I can breath, it must be a dream." I decide to just believe the reality check and I dive head first from the bridge. Just before hitting the ground a swoop up and out over the water. I fly up above the heads and over the people on the weird bleacher thing, then dive into the very turbulent waters of the ocean. I start swimming across the waves when I hear someone yell, " Watch out for sharks!"My alarm goes off. I was on snooze.

A Lucid Dream [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=4]Saturday/April/3/2010 Lucid Dream # 24 of 2010 Malfunctioning device recognized Reality check induced Lucidity Very nice and touching dream even though you didn't go into the specifics of what you talked about. It must be nice having a couple of LDs a week

[Caradon]

Very nice and touching dream even though you didn't go into the specifics of what you talked about. It must be nice having a couple of LDs a week Hey BigFan. Sorry about the late reply. I've been having some problems with my computer. Thanks for checking out my journal. Yeah, It's nice when I can get a momentum going and start getting a lot of Lucids. Something came up recently That caused me to lose focus a bit and put me into a slow spell. I'm trying to get things going again.

Hey BigFan. Sorry about the late reply. I've been having some problems with my computer. Thanks for checking out my journal.

I'm trying to get things going again. Guess you aren't the only one with the late replies Same here, lost some focus on LD for over a year, but, hope to have many more LDs once I get to a certain amount. Yours seem to be focused a bit about recognizing dream signs and possibly just being aware. Mine have been more awareness than anything else but I've only had a couple of them and they aren't as vivid or long as I would like. Anyways, nice journal and very interesting dreams. Read some of the earlier entries such as the tornado one back in 07 or 06 which was interesting, same with the other ones. Keep filling this DJ

[Caradon]

Do you remember any other dreams about this mix of locations Caradon? Hi MrdreamsX. Thanks for checking out my journal. Yeah, That's something that happens frequently More often during work dreams. A lot of times some or all of my previous jobs will blend together into one place. It's weird. Guess you aren't the only one with the late replies Same here, lost some focus on LD for over a year, but, hope to have many more LDs once I get to a certain amount.

Yeah, my induction method mostly consists of trying to stay aware of whether or not I'm dreaming as often as I can. It's always worked pretty well for me. I do a little bit of WILDing, but when I do that it's mostly just a little bit of Lucid HI, or brief little Lucid moments that I can't hold onto. I don't usually count those. Sometimes I post them in my WILD attempt journal. Good Luck getting back into it! I've been having a lot of distractions lately. It's hard to refocus after being mentally lazy for a while. I'm taking of this Sunday for a trip to the cabin. I'll be spending nine days alone in the wilderness. I plan to use the time to work on my dreaming. Hopefully I'll be back on track by the time I get back. With any Luck I'll have something to post.

A Lucid Dream Monday/May/17/2010 Lucid Dream # 30 of 2010 Best dreamsign recognized No reality check needed Watching my step Dad ride the four wheeler. The grass is really wet and he spins out and rolls the thing. I run over and check to see if he is ok. Then I get on the four wheeler. The weird thing is that I stand up on the seat. As I do the four wheeler gets smaller and I start skating around on it. I'm doing all sorts of tricks jumping around off of things. Then my brother is there and he is standing up and skating around on a small four wheeler as well. We start to race and the four wheelers disappear. We are now doing the skating on feet thing that I so often end up doing in dreams. I'm too fast for my brother, but he manages to stay fairly close behind. I start doing all sorts of tricks jumping over and off of things. Eventually I come to this wall that I use like a ramp. I shoot straight up into the air flipping, then coming down. I do this a couple of times, but I feel like I'm not getting high enough. I try again. This time getting as much speed up as I possibly can. I hit the wall/ramp and I'm thrown upwards at speed, and the ground falls farther and farther away. Ahhh, now that's the feeling I was trying for Then Lucidity washes over me. "Whooo hooo, Lcuid again!" I shout down to my brother. When I say again It's because I can distinctly remember being Lucid some time before this point. It was like I had lost Lucidity at some point and I'm now just regaining it. At the time I could actually remember the previous Lucid, but now I can not. What happens next I have difficulty remembering in detail. I was celebrating my Lucidity in the usual way. Running, leaping, flying acrobatics off of and over everything. I remember some power-lines I had grabbed onto, pulling on them and stretching them all out. The next thing I remember real clearly is taking a moment to reflect. I remember that I'm in a period of bad recall. I think back and try to remember the earlier Lucids again, but they are already fading from my memory and I'm not even awake yet. I realize that I've been running around so crazily that I probably won't remember much of what I had just been doing either. then I think, to hell with it, I don't even care. Remember this, or not, I'm just going to enjoy myself now, while I'm here. I then see this bird fly past. It looks like a small hawk at first. But on closer inspection it's actually a giant bumble bee. It actually looks like a large humming bird with the colors of a bumble bee. There are a couple of them now, and I'm thinking of them as bees. I think they are really cool and I decide I want one. I reach out with my mind, using telekinesis to control one of the large bees. I control it's flying and make it follow behind me as I walk back to where my brother is. As I walk the bee lands on my head and stings me with it's long beak like stinger. For a split second I'm afraid of being stung, but then remember it doesn't matter in a dream. It can sting me all it wants. But I force my will on it and gain better control of it's actions. After a little bit I don't have to force it anymore. It just becomes my pet bee/bird. I find my brother and my sister and show off my new pet. I hold out my hand and it lands in the palm of my hand. It's colors have changed now, and it looks much more like a humming bird than a bee. It's very beautiful. It has a white breast with this indescribable luminescent red orange kind of color glowing around the edges of it's body. The outer colors are kind of moving, like they are swirling together. It's fascinating. After a few moments I move on and forget about the bird. I end up getting into to some naughty things that I'm not going to go into detail. until I wake.

Right now I'm pretty pissed off about my journal being fucked with, and I'm not intending to post another dream in this journal, or on this forum, ever again. I just want to get my farewell post in before this thread is locked for good. Good bye DV Journal. I'm going to miss you. Thanks for all the good times. When I decide to continue updating my Lucid Dream journal, it will only be at the Mortal Mist site. At least there, I know it won't be fucked with by the staff.
