Thread: Twoshadows' Dream Journal

I had a super long Lucid Dream this morning. I did a WBTB ahd had the LD between 5:30 and 6:30am. The problem is that it was so long and that I did so many things that I don't remember the excact order of or transitions between all the things I did. But I will share what I remember. And I do rmember that it was a very enjoyable time.

Lucid Dream:

I think my dreams started with being in a cave. The water was a beautiful clear glowing green like Lake Powell, yet I was enclosed in a multi room cave. I was talking on my phone to Tia and I kept getting distracted and would forget to talk for long periods of time until she would say, "Are you still there?" and I would have to apologize. I was floating on what might have been an innertube. At one point I remember floating to a waterfall between rooms and deciding to hover over the waterfall instead off falling.

That may have been the trigger for lucidity.

I remember flying up to a tree like I did in my last LD and touching the branches. I wanted this LD to really count, and I felt that the best way was to really "feel" it by using my senses. I remember really paying attention to the feel of the wind and movement as I flew. I was very pleased at how real this felt. (Sometimes when I look back at my flying experiences I can't remember if I really felt anything and then it doesn't seem very fun or real).

I flew down to the road and saw some rocks in the gutter. I hovered down really low and picked up a pebble sized rock in my lips and tried to taste it. It seemed to taste just like a rock. I then started to bite it with my front teeth. It crunched and melted like tiny ice chips.

I then flew down very low along the street. I pushed my first finger down on the asphalt as I flew. It got hot and felt burned. When it was too painful I pulled it off and looked at it. It was blackish and shiny.

I remember being on a rooftop and flying around from rooftop to rooftop. Some of the buildings were unusual. I can't remember why I thought that--only that I did. There were people on the roofs working on them. No one noticed me.

At some point I was indoors and I looked in the mirror. I felt I looked completely normal. But that was disappointing. So I changed my looks. When I was done I looked about a quarter black and three quarters caucasian. I had wavy hair that was shoulder length and blond with dark roots. My skin was olive toned and I had big brown eyes and full lips with a small chin. I thought I looked gorgeous. I pulled up my shirt and saw that my breasts were bigger (haha--why do I always do this?)

I flew around again looking like this and with my shirt pulled up. No one had seemed very impressed with my flying before. Maybe they would notice me now. I think I got a few glances, but it was still disappointing.

And at this point this is all I remember.

I did a WBTB. As I lay in bed about to go back to sleep I had every intention of having a lucid dream and completing the Task of the Month of controling the elements. That positive thinking paid off.

Lucid Dream:

I was looking out over Lake Powell. It was dusk and the lake was mostly in shadows. I already knew I was dreaming. I wanted a better view of the lake so I made my vision rise (I say this because I was not aware of my body or myself flying). In the past I have often had difficulty viewing an area as I flew upward. But I felt very pleased the lake stayed very clear and in focus as my view of it changed. Soon I had a great view of the South end of the Lake. I could see Lone Rock, Wahweap, and Castle Rock.

I remembered that I was going to do the Task of the Month. The Task is to control 2 of the 4 elements. I wanted to control water and fire, but I also wanted to try to do air. I looked at the lake and knew it would be good for the controlling water part. But suddenly I really wanted to do air first. I had wanted to try to form a tornado. And then I looked again at the lake and wondered what it would be like to make a tornado and then set it down on the water and see if I could then form a water spout.

So I concentrated on a place above Wahweap Bay. I made a tornado. It was a little hard to see, but I knew it was there. I carefully lowered it down onto the surface of the water. At first I didn't see anything happen. Then I saw the surface of the water start to move in a circular pattern. Then I saw this large area of water lift and spin up into the air. And then suddenly there was a very large water spout swirling and spinning way up into the air.

I felt proud of myself and considered that a success. I then took myself down to the ground and decided to start a fire with my mind. I had done that several times before and knew that I would have no problem with it. I saw that I was standing next to a stone cabin. There was a clump of dead grass in front of me. I figured that that would be a good place for a fire. I looked at the grass and willed a fire to start. Then I remembered that it was so much easier if I pointed my finger at it while I concentrated. I lifted my finger and instantly the little grass clump ignited. I just stood there for a time and watched the fire burn until the grass was completely consumed by the fire.

I wanted to do more, but at this point my dream ended.

Not intentionally but a lot of the time I will get lucids off of them.
I actually got a lucid last night when my friend was over (which is usually when I have the least chance of having one) but I felt him waking me up!!! It had really good vividity and lucidness oh well I'll get one tonight.

Yeah, that's really frustratig when something or someone wakes you up in the middle of a good LD. Well, I wish you luck in getting many more really vivid ones very soon.

I had one of those dreams where lucid dreaming was on my mind, but not enough to actually make me go lucid. Rrrrr. But as much as I get frustrated at myself for completely missing the obvious, I have to at least be happy that the idea of lucid dreaming made it into the dream. The more that happens the more I will have lucid dreams.

Dream 1:

I was on The Biggest Loser show (I think this is because I have been traveling and eating bad and I have been telling myself that as soon as I get home I need to eat really healthy). I started making friends with this Korean guy that was also a contestant. At one point we were in this big room and I started flying and floating up toward the ceiling. The Korean guy started floating too.

I said, "Wow--you must be a lucid dreamer too!" And he nods his head.

Then I started telling him about all the things that I can do in a lucid dream. I told him about the tornado that I did in my last LD. I pointed to the ground and said, "If this were my LD I would make a tornado from on that very spot." And I made this little brown spot appear on the floor. I even half -heartedly tried to make a tornado, but nothing appeared.

I also remember asking him if he did WBTBs, which I think he said that he did occasionally.

Then I floated all the way to the top and rested on the ceiling (like I like to do in dreams--lucid or not).


Dream 2:

I was watching TV. I saw that Blink182 was about to come on. They were playing live for some TV show. I saw that they were dressed like the Beatles. They started singing. It was an interesting song that I had never heard that was a good cross between a Blink song and Beatles song. I liked it. Then Tom and Mark turned around and I could see that their pants had the back cut out, and I could see their butts. I remember thinking, "Oh brother, do they always have to do something dumb like that?"

Oh yeah, I forgot. I had this very intensely romantic dream about Spike From Buffy the Vampire Slayer a few days ago. I have have several romantic Spike dreams--I'm not sure why. Maybe one leads to the other. And since they are so enjoyable my mind keeps giving them to me. All I really remember from this last dream is having Spike hold me and tell me how much he loved me. But it was one of those "feel good" dreams where the emotions are the main part of the dream. Not the action.

Yeah those are great and then you wake up and try to tell someone and they think you're losing your grip on reality

Yeah, most people don't seem to care about dreams (either they don't remember them...or they must be having extremely boring dreams). It's hard for me to understand because I always loved my dreams and sometimes wrote them down...and that was long before I learned about lucid dreaming. Now I see dreaming as an extention of my life. It's part of me and my life experiences. One could say that is silly because they aren't "real". But I disagree. I make choices in dreams. I feel things in dreams. I get a better feel for what things in life concern me. I have learned all kinds of dream skills. I think there is some real mental growth going on.

You strike me as the type of girl who watched Buffy

Well, I'm not sure exactly what type of girl that would be. But yeah, that's me.

And thank you. I enjoyed that tornado dream. I plan to have many more just as great in the very very near future.

Dream:

I was running down my street toward the airport. I noticed that I seemed light as a feather. My feet barely touched the ground as I ran and ran. I knew that I could run for miles and not get tired. I wasn't even having to breathe hard.

I looked down at my feet. I was wearing my Vibrams. Of course. It was the shoes. I knew there was a reason I loved these shoes so much.

Reading something here on DV triggered a dream memory from about a week and a half ago. I had this dream while I was traveling so I didn't record it like I should have. But it is significant because I died four times in the dream. I have died before in dreams--but not four times in a single dream. Let's see what I can remember of it.

I remember I was being chased by zombies. I remember running into a pool of water to escape from a horrible zombie death. But the zombies were coming and I had to put my head under the water. I held my breath. I could see shadows of the zombies near the pool. I knew I was going to die one way or the other. I chose death by drowning. I could feel myself getting lightheaded, dizzy, and then finally blacking out.

Then I was on the run again--as another person, I think. I was with someone else, and together we ran as fast as we could trying to get away. But, unfortunately we rounded a corner and ran smack into a group of zombies. I was suddenly surrounded by zombies. They crowded around me. I could feel one grab my head. I felt a slightly painful jerk....and I knew I had died.

Then I became the other person I was with. The zombies grabbed hold of me. I wished for another quick death. But I didn't get my wish this time. I was lifted so I was horizontal. Then several zombies started taking bites out of my legs. It was horrible and painful. How long would it take to die this way? I panicked. I couldn't take this any longer. I willed myself to die. And suddenly I was dead.

At this point I no longer remember the fourth death. I only remember that there was one.

Awesome!!

I mean, sucks that you died and all, and that it hurt, but still - awesome dream!!

And let's have no Buffy-bashing in here!! I won't stand for it! It only leads to the harder stuff, like Xena-slander!

Haha...I like that. But isn't that so true with dreams. In some weird way, the more horrible or more painful intense dreams are often the ones we like the best when they are over.

Haha again. Here's to many more Spike/Buffy and Xena dreams!

BTW, Darkmatters, I just visited your stopmotion puppet thread and--Holy Cow--that's amazing stuff! Wow...I love it. I've got to go back and read more of what you said about it. I watched the pumpkin and skull videos. So. Cool.

Dream:

I had a longish dream right before I woke up this morning. I mostly just remember fragments of it now.

I was staying at a hotel like place with roommates. We were there for some sort of convention. At one point I was trying to find my camera...and I think I did, but the battery was dead.

I was out biking through the neighborhood. Some dogs started chasing me, but I pushed them away. I got to a hill covered with houses and remember saying to myself, "Finally a place that looks like what Southern California is supposed to look like." But I don't think I was supposed to actually be in So Cal.

I remember having a little trouble getting to where I wanted to get (dead ends, etc)

I came to a grassy place. There was a tiny pond. I stopped and looked into it. I saw several tiny turtle that were about 2-3 inches long, and one tiny guppy that had long fins that were green, red and purpley blue. It was only about 3/4 of an inch.


Edit: I also seem to have a very faint memory of a "bad bathroom" scene.

Dreamed about Super Novas and the Moon.

Way behind again...

I even had a lucid dream a week or so ago where I did September's basic task of the month--walking on water. But didn't get it recorded. I'll still write it down. But it frustrates me that I'm not doing better at recording my dreams. Like last night--I woke up in the night and thought, "Wow, I have had a lot of dreams already. Maybe I should wirte them down before I forget them." But I didn't and I fell back to sleep. And now they are all gone. Just like that.

I've been doing that a lot lately, too. I've been so exhausted, I just lie there and enjoy the memory of my amazing dream, knowing the entire time it is going to vanish if I don't get my lazy ass up and write it down. Tonight is a fresh chance for us both. Lets hit it hard!

Thanks RB--I did do better last night.

I had a jumble of dreams. I don't remember how they all fit together exactly. But I did take notes as I first got up. I even had a Lucid Dream and a DV member Dream.

We'll start with the Lucid:

I don't remember what I was doing in the dream, but I had this feeling "Well, this is just a dream, anyway, so I might as well try something interesting."

I was thinking about doing a Task of the Month, but for some reason I thought the Task was to "Eat a Bug".

I started to fly low to the ground and very slow. I saw some rocks. I picked a medium sized one up and looked under it to see what bugs I could find. Under this rock I saw several large long legged ants. I thought about picking one up. But suddenly the thought of those long hairy-ish legs moving on my tongue have me the heebie jeebies. So I moved on.

I wondered what kind of bug would be less creepy to eat. I thought about trying to find a ladybug. They didn't have long legs. They bodies were small and compact. As soon as I thought that I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. It was a ladybug. What luck. But as I looked at it scurrying along I just couldn't bring myself to eat it.

I then looked over to some grass to the left of where I was still hovering. I saw a large sow bug crawling up a long blade of grass. I reached to grab it but again, the thought of actually putting that thing in my mouth just made me shudder. I decided that I just couldn't do it.

And that is all I remember from that dream. I am a little surprised at how squimish I was in the dream about eating bugs. I mean, I knew it was just a dream. I should have been easy. Heck, I've even done it in real life from being dared. I know it's in me. Oh well. It wasn't really a Task anyway.


Okay, moving on the the DV Member Dream:

It was actually a very long complex dream. I'll share the fragments that I remember. I was with my sister (that died) for a while. I thought it was nice that we could be together again after so long. We were staying at this hotel type place with a large group of people. There seemed to be a lot going on. At one point we were river rafting. Then we were climbing in the snow. I had a raft/sled and slid down this tough part of the montain. It felt like I was white water kayaking. I was able to maneuver the sled thing fairly well. The group was impressed with my skills.

Then my sister was gone and her mother-n-law was giving a speech about how horrible cancer was. In the middle of the speech I realized I had left my purse behind. I went back to the hotel room. There were new people in the room. It didn't surprise me. I knew that there were going to be new people joining me. I tried to use the restroom because I really had to go. But they were cleaning it. I thought. "It figures. At least it won't be so gross and dirty like it was last time."

Then I was with this large group that had a lot of little kids in it. I had climbed up this tower thing to hear the person who was teaching the seminar. Some kids climbed up with me. One little girl almost fell. I had to help her.

Then I was talking to Ninja about lucid dreaming. I think we had been eating breakfast together. As we left to go back to the hotel, I said, "I don't want to invade your privacy or anything, but are you staying here for business or just for fun?"

Ninja thought for a second then answered with, "Well, I'm getting to do everyting that I wanted to here." Which made me assume that he was here for both. I thought about answering back about why I was here. And then I wasn't so sure why I was here. I had been having fun, but wasn't I here for the seminar? I wasn't sure what to say so I just said goodbye and crossed the street toward my hotel.

I'm also going to try to remember the lucid dream I had maybe two weeks ago.

The End of September....

Lucid Dream:

I was dreaming about something that I no longer remember when I suddenly had the feeling that I was dreaming. I thought, "Why don't I just fly?"

I was on the top of a small mountain. I wanted to fly out and across the mountain until I came to the spot that it just dropped off, then I would be soaring way high in the sky. So I did that I enjoyed that neat sensation. I then thought about doing the Task of the Month--Walking on Water.

I looked down. I needed to find some water. Finally I saw a small lake and flew down to it. By the time I got to it it was very small indeed. In fact, small enough I could cross it in a just a few of steps. But I felt that I didn't need that many steps to complete the Task. I first hovered over it horizontally and tenatively placed my palm on the surface of the water. I then pushed down into the water. It went all the way to the bottom (about 8 inches). There was nothing solid about this water. I wondered if I needed a strategy to make this work.

I then decided to have faith. If I believed I could walk on water, then I should be able to walk on water. I got in an upright position and placed my foot on the water. I started to put some weight on it. It immediately sank to the bottom like my hand.

Okay...I needed to have a different approach. I decided that since I could fly that there was absolutely no reason why I couldn't cross a pond without sinking. So I hovered over the pond in an upright position again. This time I placed my foot on the surface of the water without puttting any weight on it. See...that was easy. So I slowly brought out my other foot and also placed it on the surface of the water. I adjusted it so it was perfectly flat on the water.

There.

I was "standing" on the water. This was cool.

I then slowly swung my back leg forward and placed it again in front of me on the water. I noticed that my body was getting lower toward the water, so my legs were bending somewhat. But I looked and saw that my feet were still perfectly flat on the surface. I took a couple more steps forward noticing each time that my body was getting lower and lower and my knees bending more and more until I was "walking like a duck" on the water.

But I felt that since I was able to keep my feet on the surface that I had successfully accomplished the Task.

Then the dream got weird and went on to me wanting to take off my shirt. Why, oh why does my dream self insist on this--I don't know.

And I think I lost lucidity a some point shortly after that.

I had two amazing lucid dreams out of the blue that I haven't recorded, but I did the tasks in them it was pretty awesome, congrats on last month. Also how exactly did your dream insist? lol

Congrats on your lucid dreams!

Well, it's not exactly like there is any real "insisting" going on...because there is no resisting. It's an automatic thing in my dreams. It's like "Hey--I'm dreaming. Time to take off my clothes! Woo Hoo!" My awake self doesn't get it. But my deam self thinks she is the most sexy thing in the world and wants to show off.

I guess.

But part of me (the part that isn't embarrassed by this behavior, in retrospect) thinks that this is a good thing. It means I have a good body image and good self esteem. Who doesn't want to have good self esteem? As long as I don't start running around in real life with no shirt on, then I'm okay with this. At least from time to time.

So, we were having breakfast together after staying at a hotel? ...

Awesome, I haven't been in one of your dreams in a while. Next time I'm lucid I'll try to summon you, I'll take you frying

Frying...? Okay. Shall we fry eggs? Maybe some catfish. French fries? Oh, I know--lets try some fried oreos or cheesecake! Yummmmm!!! I don't eat much fried food these days.
