They have and I have you to thank for that! Oh don't make me sound like such a pro, they were hardly of any decent length

Sorry I haven't updated in a while guys, major things happened in my personal life the day before the competition started. It caused me alot of stress and worry, in fact I'm surprised I've being remembering anything at all other than those two days where that did actually happen.

But today I should get everything sorted, so I'll have more of a chance to type up my dreams (I have one to type up later!) and less stress so I can remember more. I feel like I need to apologise to my team mate Harelori for being a bit of a let down But don't worry I'll soon make up for what we've lost on my part

~DJ

All stresses and strains delt with, now time to focus on the dreaming ;D

~DJ

Just reading through what I wrote...barely any of it is legible and the stuff that is I can't read because of how early in the morning I wrote it. But I'll give it a shot...

1. I remember seeing purple and pink flying disks in the sky, several of them. People were being ripped off, paying stupidly high prices for things that clearly weren't worth that much. Then (from what I can make out) I went on some kind of assault course with Sam and Jack (I clearly wrote this with the dream fresh in my mind as I have no idea who these people are irl). We had been filming the flying disks and the people being ripped off. Then I wrote something about "using the threat" whatever that means Then the most distinct thing which I can still remember is that the badges we were wearing morphed into the Hogwarts badges which was quite cool. Then the dream ended.

2. By far the coolest dream of the night, but I also feel so stupid for not realising
I was on the first flight of steps in my old secondary school (chance for RC here). Suddenly a weapon appeared in my hand (Why am I not RCing?! This is the first time I've ever had something materialize in my hand in my entire dreaming experience!) I looked it over, it consisted of a central pole and had a blade at either end. It had around the same weight as my bow which surprised me alot and it was as white as snow. It was gorgeous, I'm starting to wonder if it was my bow but reformed/regenerated. So did this kick me lucid in the end? No it did not! I said out loud "This is pretty cool, but I think I'll save using it til I'm in a dream..." ( Are you kidding me? I thought it was real?! Wow... it seems I need to do more to make my logic centre active )

Anyway, 2 points for 2 dreams xD

Another 6 six dream night!!

1. I was in Australia and collecting spiders in a jar. I came across this huge one that was bigger than the palm of my hand. It looked dangerous so I left it alone and went to catch slightly smaller spiders.

2. I was at college and walking down the stairs after having just finished my last lesson. I told my friends to go on ahead because I had to wait for someone. Then I overheard someone along the corridor talking about the radio station I work at. She was saying she wanted to work there too. She was dark skinned, sat on the floor and had long hair down to her waist with several friends around her. I went and sat opposite her and told her I worked there and I found out that she was actually a children's entertainer....she was also wearing stilts. Suddenly one of her friends piped up and asked me when I was going to lose my virginity (wtf?) then the dream ended.

3. I was walking towards the beach, the sky was clouded over and a strong breeze swept across the sand. Behind me were about 20 odd children that looked to be around 7-10 years old. They did not carry buckets and spades like you would expect for the beach, they carried water and food as if preparing for something. We stood on the sand and I told them we were here and to go have fun, as the dream started to fade and the children run off I could still hear the crashing waves as my vision faded into nothingness.

4. I was walking alone a road. To my right was a sheer drop to a forest a good few hundred feet below and to my left a vertical cliff. As I was walking along someone called my name, I turned to see one of the girls from down my street shouting me. She came running up to me and claimed to be my girlfriend. I tried to deny this but before she gave me chance she grabbed me and pulled me into a tight hug. When she finally let go I said to her, you're not my girlfriend, you're not Katie. You are the girl from down my road, at which point she just stood staring at me with a vacant and shocked look on her face and the dream ended.

5. I remember seeing a combine harvester and spotting one of my mates through the window. Nothing particularly interesting happened in this dream, I watched the machinery do its work for a bit before the dream ended.

6. I was on a pirate ship (...again?!) I was being shown around the place. The girl who was showing me round (who I assume was the captain) took me through to a room where the torpedos launched from. (Torpedos....on a pirate ship...Ho have I not RC'd yet?!?! ) Once the tour was over I was about to walk onto the upper deck when suddenly the ship was hit by something large. I was knocked off my feet with a stupendous amount of force and I crashed into the other side of the ship. I'm surprised I didn't break anything, I got up slightly concussed but I managed to regain my balance fairly quickly. Then things got rough, it was as though the ship was suddenly in the roughest of storms. I was being thrown about the lower deck like I weighed nothing at all and all I could hear were the shouts of people above me. I had to get out. I ran towards where the steps to the upper deck were just as the ship started to tip to make it feel as though I was running up hill. I reached the steps, suddenly something hit me, hard. I don't know what it was but it knocked me unconscious and was a swift end to the dream. It was fairly short but by far the most vivid of the night.

Anyways 6 points for 6 dreams

Been a while since I've updated here. I really want to get back into this again so I started a challenge of my own to get my motivation back up:

http://www.dreamviews.com/f12/all-th...-dream-138373/

Wish me luck!

Okay so today is my day off from college and since I remembered nothing last night I thought I'd have a nap. So I put on some binaural beats and listened to them until I felt sleepy enough and the proceeded to lay in my bed trying to get to sleep. after about 20-30 minutes my left eye opened with no direction from me. I couldn't see my room like I expected, just darkness and I swear I could see stars in there as well. I think this may have been the start of a WILD, I opened my other eye but must have done it too suddenly because I saw my room and the darkness in my left eye disappeared.

I then tried again since I had nothing better to do, same method but after about 20 minutes something different happened, my feet started moving. Not huge amounts and I could control them as well. I wasn't moving my actual feet because my body was still very deep in sp, so I was moving my dream feet! But where was the rest of my dream body? After a bit more waiting I felt no change and decided to get up.

Very exciting but also a very strange experience

Remembered 5 dreams overall, looks like I'm heading in the right direction!

1. I was at home with my girlfriend KV and one of her ex-boyfriends walked in. He said he wanted to borrow a chair and KV said it was fine whereas I just glared at him the entire time.

2. I was in a small town and caught the bus to go to a shop. I got on the bus and one stop later got back off it I walked in wanting to buy something healthy and on the first shelf saw apples. But this wasn't ordinary because each apple was packaged in its own little box, a little bit like Terry's Chocolate Oranges but with real apples!

3. I was with some kind of dance group and I had to join in with their routine. I knew the moves (how?!) but because I was wearing socks on this dance floor I slid about everywhere.

4. I was on a beach with loads of other people but we were all lined up like in the military. In front of us there was a stage with people on it discussing something, doing some kind of show. Not long after they jumped down off of the stage and I decided to listen to find out what they were doing. They were looking for someone with an Australian accent it makes me wonder what they were saying earlier because earlier I was talking to the person next to me about what on earth was happening.I looked to my right and stood next to me was my best friend KM, she began complaining to me about when she was on the bus and there was this girl with a lot of cleavage showing. She could hardly complain though looking at what she was wearing

5. I was in a white room, I couldn't see the walls. The room seemed to be infinite. I saw a desk nearby and walked over to it, there was quite a bit of paper on the desk so I picked it up to see what it was about. It was work, but the second I picked it up to get a closer look I started to feel really dizzy. I fell to the floor.Whilst falling I heard KV shout my name. When I next opened my eyes I couldn't move but she was next to me looking worried. A glass vase then threw itself off of the desk and asked if it could fix itself Silly me didn't question it though.

It's only now when I'm writing these out that I realise how curious I was about everything. Just a little further and I think I'll have a lucid in the bag

Competition 10 - Night 1:

Dreamt about a strange land with alien spaceships and purple grass O.o

Dreamt about a bomb n a low floor bus O.o

Dream 1: I was asleep at my secondary school, well...not for long anyway since someone called Ryan shook me awake. He lead me inside (why I was sleeping outside I have no idea). Inside it was my college building, outside was may secondary school courtyard....weird. Anyways we went up to the second floor and sat down on one of the benches outside of the lecture halls. Then he looked straight at me and asked me what all this lucid dreaming stuff was all about. "Well it's where you know you are dreaming and..." (Insert facepalm here, I won't give you all of what I said because you all know what lucid dreaming is so you get the idea). He thought I should tell a teacher for some strange reason so I did, one of my teachers from my secondary school. Just like Ryan she wanted to know more (another facepalm here as I explained to her as well) She wasn't sure about it so I went back out into the courtyard and found someone I knew from my primary school. She was as knowledgable as me on this topic and understood it well so we both went up to explain to the teacher about lucid dreaming (major facepalm, the entire dream was about lucid dreaming -_-)

Dream 2: There were these white cubes being produced at a steady rate but they had to be watched. I know they were of alien origin and were very much like the black cubes from Doctor Who:

Then I got distracted but that was fine since someone else was watching it. When I looked back that someone else was also distracted and the cube production was out of control, they were everywhere spewing out of a pipe all over the floor. Then the dream ended.

I have returned!

Okay so I went on another break after my recall went from just 1 lucid dream. But I haven't given up, there's still so many things I want to do in the world of lucid dreaming. I'm disappointed in myself that I've been here nearly 2 years now and I've only had 25 LDs and not one of them completing a task of the month or year. So I'm back and I'll stay until I can consistently LD because that's always annoyed me. So since I've been on a break for a good few months I'm gonna just make a to-do list here because it feels like I'm starting from scratch again xD

1. Get back into Dream Journaling on paper!

2. Post any results or progress in here and on the student room (I manage the LD threads on there)

3. Start having consistent lucids, i.e at least 3 a week every week

4. Complete any tasks of the month/year to finally get my wings

5. Keep it up

Welcome back!
Don't be annoyed and think positive, you will definitely get better with practice. And if you like competitions, think about joining next one, i'll be making signup thread sometime this month, many people got nice boost from competitions.
