Dream Journal July 27 2010

I was going home from school on the bus and it was nighttime. My
friend who in real life doesn't ride the bus with me said, "My cousin
really wants to meet you" I didn't really want to I kinda sighed
looked at my house and I could see lights coming from the windows as
other people on my bus were walking away then I said, "Fine" and I got
a little nervous but I thought I could block it out. So he texted her
to come by this billboard at the end of the street which was strange
because it's an urban neighborhood and in real life there is no
billboard. Then his phone started ringing, it was the Mario theme song
and there were big yellow letters moving accross the screen and they
would flash at some times too. Then we went on our way to the
billboard I don't remember us walking there just that we appeared
there. And when I got there she was beautiful I looked at her and
smiled I was a little nervous, she looked my age. So I was nervous but
I sort of managed to block it out and said, looking at both my friend
and his cousin, "So, what's up?". She smiled. Then I woke up thinking
I really like this girl but too bad she doesn't exist.

awww the typical damn i wish tht dream was reality XD

Too early to tell if it's a dreamsign, but you might want to start RCing whenever you see text, i.e. on a phone, billboard, ect.

Alright

Lol atras i've had so many of those

A night to remember (Not a dream)

So tonight when me and my brother were playing video games on our computers and my parents were watching TV my parents called to us and said, "Let's go in the hot tub". I jumped out of my chair and got ready and me and my parents went into the hot tub. My brother stayed inside for a little bit. So me and my parents were looking up at the stars and for the first time in my life I saw a sattelite move accross (I know not that great but i was sort of excited) we sat there staring at the stars. 2 sattelites zoomed by. Then my brother came to join us, I told him about the sattelites and how it was my first time seeing them. Then we talked a little bit and we were just staring up into the stars. I thought to myself, "This is great I have to be dreaming." I do some reality checks and I'm not dreaming. We keep staring then i try again and nope. Then suddenly both me and my dad saw a shooting star zoom accross the sky! It was also my first time seeing a shooting star so i was really excited! I smiled and laughed. but my mom and brother were kinda down cuz they didn't see it. a cloud was going accros the sky and there were more stars near the cloud so we were thinking, "Could that be the milky way?". We stared discussing it we were saying we could just barely see it. But surely enough the cloud moved and we realized it wasn't but that didn't put me down. So, relaxed after the nice back massage from the jets we get out of the hot tub and come inside all smiling because of this experience. I posted this because it really made me think and it made me think about dreaming and lucid dreaming.

Very cool. The more you think about LDing, the better!

Dream Journal July 28 2010

I was at this house, it looked more like my neighbor's house then mine but it still didn't look much like theirs so my mom and dad were in a pool. The house is very odd and I can't really figure out a way to describe it. Then my brother wanted to pull a harmless prank on me and i know it so I let him do it and when he did it I went into a coma. The prank coudn't of caused a coma i dont remember what it was but i know it wasn't that big. So I was in a coma and then I woke up. A lot of things were different, and my family was acting different. My brother wouldn't tell me what year it is then we were standing at this table thing then it turned all blue and it was sort of like a screen then someone came out and we got sucked into it. Then I woke up. And Naiya I want to tell you something. I have been recording in my dream journal for about a week and the first day it was just about nothing then the second it was long and more vivid then the third was much longer and much more vivid. But now they're starting to go down my most recent ones are blurry. What should I do?

I think I answered this in your PM.

In any case, wasn't there another thing you wanted me to read?

A night to remember part 2 So last night I did the same thing as in part one but earlier and there were more stars but this time i didnt see much special but I saw a shooting star again and my parents saw one too before i came in

Dream Journal entry July 29th 2010 First lucid!

First lucid dream. My first lucid dream was pretty long it started non
lucid. So I was at my old school and it was night and we were about
leave to go home. Then my brother saw a guy walking down a trail
beside our school and told us that guy is trouble. But then I was home
and I looked out my window and I could see the judges for Americas got
talent in my front yard and Sharon was standing on a floating car and
I though, I have to be dreaming so I plugged my nose and I could
breathe! I screamed at the top of my lungs "I'm dreaming!!" but I
didn't wake up from the excitement. But after that part is kinda
blurry then I was outside and it was still night. I tried to fly. I
lifted a bit off the ground then fell back down then I lifted again
and I went higher but I fell again then I was walking on this trail and
decided o try and make it day so I closed my eyes and thought when I
open my eyes it will be day time and I opened them and there was a
sunrise I thought that was good enough then kept walking and there
were bad guys coming at me(I guess I wasn't fully in control) so I
remembered that yesterday I thought about having a lightsaber in a
lucid dream so I tried to make one appear in my hand but I was
basically just imagining it and it wasn't there and then I finally got
it and I started fighting the bad guys off but this part is kinda
blurry too then when I was fighting them I saw a group of people
looking at me then I finished off most of them then i flew off at top speed. Then I thought is it too soon to summon my dream guide? I
guess I'll try so I close my eyes and say "Summon dream guide!" thought that my dream guide would be there and when I open my eyes I see a bald Black man
with a bluetooth headset then I remembered I saw him in the group of
people and I asked him, "Are you my dream guide?" he calmly says, "I
am" I was excited at that point and I think I lost lucidity then there
was something about fighting people in a big glass building. And i remember at one point climbing over a fence and i could really feel the wood scraping my leg. I didn't have full lucidity in this one I know it. But i know it's an improvement and im soo happy i cant stop smiling

And the second dream of the night(non lucid):The back of my old school
(I'm thinking my old school is a dream sign I see it in a lot of
dreams) was all pools and sort of a water park and I was talking to
some of my brother's friends that are girls. And then there is the big
weird drivable machine thing. So I get in and my friend's girlfriend
(which is also my best friend) was watching as I laughed driving it
then someone that worked there said something to me and pushed me down
this big hole while I was on the machine and I was falling and it was
like a ride and there were colourful cousions as I went down the ride
then when it ended the machine was gone then I was back by the pool
then I remember doing another RC and YErp I was dreaming but I didn't
become lucid then I remember arguing with a guy at a corn dog stand
while people wait in line and then that's it

congrats on your first lucid
I had a lucid this morning myself
naiya sure is a great teacher

yup im so excited about it it felt weird

congrats

CONGRATS!

Btw, what makes you think you didn't have full lucidity? You yelled out loud that you were dreaming and did several things you wanted to do in your dreams. Sounds about as lucid as it can get to me.

Remember, just because you lose lucidity later on in the dream, doesn't mean it doesn't count as a lucid dream.

I guess I said that because I wasn't able to control it well but I guess that takes practice. And I hate it when it's dark in my dreams so in my next lucid dream I'll try again to make it day again and hope I can do it better

Yeah, control definitely takes practice, it's a skill in its own right. I'll try to talk about dream control in the last lecture--if not, DVA has a whole course on dream control you can take at some point.

yeah I know what you mean...in most of my lucids I become lucid in my bedroom and it's dark...

again last night i had the worst dream recall i only have like 2 or 3 sentences in my dream journal

Dream Journal entry July 29th 2010

There was this house with a bunch of people in it like big brother and I had hidden cameras like in a teddy bear and another black stuffed animal but i have no idea what it was. Then the last thing i remember is that a blonde haired girl did something bad. Terrible dream recall recently except for the lucid dream

Aw, yeah, it sucks to have bad recall. But as long as you keep trying to remember and keep journaling what you do remember, it will get better. Because when you do those things it tells your mind that your dreams are important to you, and eventually it will respond to that.

Dream Journal entry July 31 2010

Well I was in a hotel room in las vegas I think and i was there with friends and some random adult guy. Then (hope my parents dont see this) I had these porn pictures that i brought into a locker room or something and i left them there then we went into the pool but I was holding my phone above the water so I could quickly finish a text then the adult guy pushed me under the water i was struggling and my phone barely got in the water then he pushed again and it was fully underwater and it was broken. Then my parents came to pick me up so i told them it was broken and they looked disapointed then i wanted to go back to the locker room to get the pictures they wouldnt let me then we were outside and a car crashed into the locker room and I yelled, "Nooooooooooooooo!!" Then I woke up. I remember there was a lot more to this dream but i forgot what it was

Wow, very strange dream....have you ever been to Vegas IRL? Just curious.

(Btw, this forum is hidden from everyone except for current DVA students & professors.)

No but i've seen movies and vidoes and stuff but i might go soon but somehow in my dream I just new it was vegas
