Thread: Twoshadows' Dream Journal

Lucid Dream:

I was in a new house that was supposed to be in Flagstaff AZ. A lot of things happen here, but one thing that I remember is suddenly worrying that I have never watered my front lawn yet, and I was so worried that it would be dead. I went outside to look and find that it is very green and nice. While I am out there, the sprinklers go on. and I'm greatful that they are automatic and that that's what kept the grass alive.

At some point in the dream I gradually become aware that I am dreaming. This is not a sudden thing. I almost don't so anything about it. But then I realize what this means. I think of all the possibiliteis of what I could do.

The first thing I decide that I want to do is to finally try the hand RC...while in a dream. I have always done this in real life and never in a dream. So at this point I feel that it would be wise to actually try this out while in a dream so I know the difference of how this feels when I do this awake and when I do it in a dream.

I point the finger on my right hand and press it into the palm of my left hand. At first there seems to be no difference between this and when I do it IRL. Then I look at the back of my left hand. I can see a place start bulging out where I am pressing my finger. I press harder. The skin on the back on my left hand turns white as it it now sticking out about and inch. I wonder if I can actually get it to break the skin. I push harder. Finally my finger appears and I can see the details of my fingernail. There is no pain, only the feeling of pressure.

I pull it back out and do it again. The results are similar, but it breaks through the skin faster this time. By the third time the finger comes through fairly quickly. At this point I'm satisflied and feel that I know what the finger RC feels like now.

I then decide I want to try the DV Task of the Month. I try to remember what it is. Then I remember. It has something to do with eating pizza. I look around. I'm still in the kitchen. I open the fridge and see a frozen pizza. I pull out the box and open it. Since it was in the fridge and not the freezer, it's very soft and tears easily. As I hold the cold piece of pizza, I notice that in my other hand I have a slice of hot pizza. I first take a bite of the hot pizza. I enjoy the taste and then decide to compare flavors. I then take a bite of the cold pizza. It has a different pizza flavor, but it still good in spite of being cold.

As I am chewing, I suddenly have doubts that this was the Task. I then remember that someone had used eating pizza as an example task (not true IRL). So I tried to think again about what the real task was. Finally it comes to me. I'm supposed to shoot fireworks out of my hand. I look out the door. It's daylight outside. Since I'm indoors, I decide that I will just stay there and give it a try.

I look down at my right hand as I point my first finger out towards that other side of the room. I wonder how hard this will be. I concentrate. At first nothing happens, and I'm disappointed that I'm not able to do this. But then I think about all the other things that I have been able to do in LDs and I gain confidence. I point my finger out again and concentrate. Finally a spray of sparks comes out of the end of my finger. The sparks look a lot like the kind that come out of the fountain fireworks you buy at the fireworks stands. The colors are mostly red and gold. They shoot out in a jet all the way across the room.

I stop and try it again. Another stream of lights comes out from my fingertip. I notice as I do it that my finger tip is getting hot, but not so hot that I'm in pain, but the sensation of heat was very real. I look at my fingertip and notice that my fingernail is glowing red from the heat.

I don't remember what happens after this point. I think I have a FA and try to write it down. Finally I wake up for real and write down notes.


Here is a picture I took on the 4th that looked like this firework--except the colors were different. This is turned on its side to look like it did in the dream.




Dream:

I went to the house of the family of T that was killed in the helicopter accident. People had been leaving things in the driveway as a memorial....flowers, candles, teddy bears, and ....cakes....lots of cakes.

I found it interestig that there were so many cakes. I started looking closely at the cakes. There was one that looked like a Care Bear. It was partially eaten. There was another that looked like Winnie the Pooh. There was another that looked like Winnie the Pooh. And another. I started counting the Pooh cakes. There were nine.

Fragment:

I was taking care of a newborn baby. It was a boy.

No, I did not pick up on the fact that this was one of my most common dream signs.

Fragment 1:

I had this big pile of books that I was giving away to a thrift shop.


Fragment two:

I was back in college. This was a long complex dream. At one point when I woke up in the night I remembered lots of details. But I don't remember much anymore. I remember there was something about attending class. I was interacting with people

Today:

Dream 1:


I dreamed that I was standing in a room with Charlie Sheen. He was talking to a girl about dreaming. and describing how fun it is to do the thing where you fall backwards from a standing postion adn catch yourself before hitting the floor, then bringing yourself into a vertical position again.

I got excited when I heard him talking about that. I said, "Hey, I love to do that too!!"

Then to show them how much I loved to do it I demonstrated right then and there. They both thought that was really cool.

Then Charlie brought up the subject of lucid dreaming. The lady had never heard about it. Charlie started to explain it to her. He also mentioned that he was just starting out and only had a few LDs so far.

I then join the conversation again. I told them that I also was a Lucid Dreamer, and that I had lots of experience. I then shared a few of my favorite LDs (Ones with levitating, flying, teleporting and going through things). By then they were both looking at me with the same kind of awe that they would look at a Super Hero with.

I was feeling quite proud of myself. I told them that I had also been part of a lucid dreaming website for over two years (as if that alone was awe-inspiring).

How frustrating. Dreams about lucid dreams.

You've got me excited for this fireworks task. I think I'm going to try it the way you did it, with the fountains coming out of my fingers. I'm not a big fireworks fan, but I saw an awesome fireworks show in Tahoe this year, right on the lake.

Ooo...fireworks over the lake sounds very beautiful. Yeah, shooting fireworks out of my finger was really cool . I think I want to try it again.




Dream:

I only remember the end of this rather long dream.

I was at the ocean. I was wanting to take a boat out on the ocean. I pulled it out off the beach into the water (like I would a kayak--except this was much bigger). I got it far enough out into the water that I was ready to climb in. But before I got in I looked out into the ocean and saw a huge wave coming toward shore. "It's a rogue wave!" I thought. There is no way I would be safe on that boat. So I jumped inot the water and swam back to shore leaving the boat where it was.

I ran into a building than ran to the top floor and looked out to the ocean. I could see the rogue wave had made it almost to the shore. I watched as it hit my boat then pushed it up onto the shore. It pushed the boat sideways and as it went through a parking lot, it crashed into about ten cars and they all crashed into the side of the building.

There was a guy in the building that supposedly had rented me the boat. He asked me why I had abandoned the boat. He acted like it was my fault that all the damage had been done. I was suddenly very worried to the point where I popped awake. Too bad I didn't become lucid.


Maybe the fact that I went kayaking again this week triggered this boat and water dream.

Before bed I was lamenting the fact that it had been a little while since my wonderful LD streak. So I took 100mg of B6 and 3mg of melatonin and went to bed.

I woke up (naturally) at about 5:30. I stayed awake for about a half hour without getting out of bed. Then I let myself drift off to sleep hoping that I could have a lucid dream.

Lucid Dream:


I don't remember how this one began. I don't even remember how I became lucid. My memory of the dream starts with being at my mom's house. I had just become lucid and I was walking up the driveway toward the dirt road out front.

I noticed that the hose had a sprinkler attatched and that the water was sprinkling all over the road. As I saw this I realized that I had never gone through sprinklers in a lucid dream before. I decided to see what it felt like. I walked into the spray expecting the water to feel colder than it felt. I jumped back and forth for a bit. Then I started flying and doing flips through the water. For some reason the water felt colder if I moved faster through it. When I would stand still and let the water fall on me, it couldn't feel it as strongly.

Then I looked down and saw what I was wearing. I didn't have a shirt on, but I was wearing my white bra. I don't know why I feel the need to do this in all my LDs, but I decided to strip down. I didn't take the bra off all the way, just enough.

I then looked over and saw two other girls in the sprinklers. They were both wearing bras too.

I then decided that I was done with the sprinklers and that needed to do something else with this dream. I flew up the road toward the top of the hill that overlooks the freeway. I tried to be aware of my flying since lately in real life I have been thinking about flying and imagining the sensations. I noticed that I was flying swimming style (breast stroke). I could feel the wind on my face. But the ground moving under me looked strange...not real enough.

I got to the point where the road turns the corner and goes parallel to the freeway. As I turned I saw a whole bunch of people on the road. I could see that they were police. It looked like there was a big drug bust. There were bags and things lined out on the road by the cars.

I suddenly felt the need for attention. I called out ot the police, "Do you need any help?"

No one even looked at me.

So I called out again. This time a few people looked up. I decided I needed to do something to really get their attention. I ran toward the chainlink fence that separates the dirt road from the freeway. (The road is quite a bit higher.)

I yelled out, "Watch me!"

And I jumped up on the top of the fence and balanced there for a dramatic moment, then threw myself over the edge down toward the freeway. After falling a short distance I took off flying over and across the freeway.

Even though I couldn't see them, I knew people were watching me. It didn't matter if they were only DCs--it just seemed important to me at this moment to be able to show off like this.

I got to the other side and saw some powerlines. I was going to go over them, but the closer I got the more wires there seemed to be, making it impossible to go over.

I couldn't believe I was having this "beginner LDer" problem. I was determined not to let it beat me. As I got close, I suddenly swooped down and got under them and made it to the other side.

Once on the other side I realized that I really only wanted to go back, so I could see the people again to see how impressed they were with my flying over the freeway.

I got back under the lines and flew back about half way. All the police and other people were standing by the fence. As they saw me coming they all started to clap.

I felt satisfied...and the dream ended.

I didn't wake up. I went onto other dreams having to do with hiking, interesting pit toilets in the moutains, too windy to use, the suddenly having the bathrooms be in my older sister's house, something having to do with a big magnet, and a guy playing the most beautiful song on the piano. I thought I recognized the song as a theme to something. It didn't look too difficult to learn. I decided that I would look it up on youtube and see if I could find someone who was teaching how to play that song.

Dream 1:

This is all kind of fuzzy now. But I remember something about being in a building. I knew that this building was going to be bombed and be destroyed.

I don't remember what I was doing, but I was inside the building crawling up between the walls, in a very tight place. I was amazed that I was able to manuever so easily and quickly in that very limited space.

I don't remember what happened next. I remember later a team of people came into the building to try to remove the bombs. I looked at each of their faces as they passed me because I was worried for them.

While they were in the building I heard and explosion. In kind of a vision, I saw a room where three of the men were. I saw that the explosion started there. I saw the bodies of the three men tossed into the air. I felt horrified and sad.




Dream 2:

I was with this guy. He told me that he had never seen Star Wars before. I was surprised. I didn't think that there was anyone who hadn't seen it.

I was so excited to show him the movies. I turned them on and we started watching. But this was not the typical Star Wars movies. It was more 3D and felt like we were actually in the movie. The scene I specifically remember watching (or being in) with him was one where we were going through an asteroid field. I could see the asteroids going around us. I turned to the guy and said, "Isn't this incredible?"

Fragment :

There was this very small white kitten that fit into my hand.



Dream:

This started fuzzy. I think I had found one of my lizards that supposedly was lost for a long time. I put it onto a large tank. I suddenly was very worried that it hadn't had food or water for a long time. I found a spray bottle with water and sprayed the aquarium down so it could lick the water off the sides.

I looked all around for food. I couldn't remember what it ate. But as I was moving this around in the tank I saw a lone cricket hanging onto the top edge of the tank. I remembered that lizards liked to eat crickets. I tried to knock it off down into the tank. It held on. I tried several times and when I finally knocked it in, I felt sorry for it. It didn't want to die...and it wouldn't die if I hadn't pushed it in unfairly like that.

The lizard saw the cricket and ran over to it. I thought, "Well at least its death with be fast." I remembered how quickly they chomp the crickets down. But the lizard just pinned the cricket down and started to squeeze it. I watched as white stuff finally oozed through a place in the cricket's body. The lizard leaned down and slowly started to suck the white stuff out. It reminded me of a vampire sucking a victim's blood, and I was suddenly turned on.

Being turned on my something so disgusting disturbed me, so I made myself turn away.

Later in the dream I remember I thought about feeding goldfish to the lizard. I remembered that I had put a live goldfish into my mouth earlier and that it was still there. I felt it with my tongue and could feel that it was no longer squirming around. It felt very slimy. I knew that it was starting to rot. Disgusted, I started to spit it out. I realized that it had started to fall apart. I spit out the largest part of the body first, then one of the fins.

I don't remember anything after this point.

Fragment 1:

I was in an airport. The process was very complcated. I had to wait in several areas before I could get on the plane. It seems like there was this older man I was with.


Fragment 2:

I was in the back seat of a car. I was sharing a seat belt with a little girl that reminded me of my friend RD's little girl. We were being driven through a place with tall buildings.



Traveling dreams....this might have to do with the fact that I had been at my mom's for a few days and drove back yesterday.

Vampire Related Short Nap Dream:


Twilight theme. I was in the woods looking for Edward. I was wandering around through the trees, then suddenly Carlisle lands right in front of me (it was like he was flying). At first I was startled, but then seeing that it was Carlisle and knowing he was a safe vampire I relaxed. I asked him where Edward was. He started talking to me, but never really answering my question. I finally realized that his behavior seemed strange. He was looking at me very intently and had started circling me. I suddenly realized that I was in trouble.

But then I woke up.

Darn.

Before any blood sucking....




Carlisle:

Fragment 1:

I was with a group of people playing baseball. I was very far out in the outfield. The ball (which was blue) came out to me. I picked it up and effortlessly threw it all the way in to the pitcher.


Fragment 2:

Something about buildings....

Dream:

I was walking around the corner of this building when I noticed my friend (KB) who is about to move. She walks out of a restaurant and toward a big moving truck that has the back open. She puts something inside and looks like she is getting ready to leave. I suddenly realize that I have missed the good-by dinner. I'm upset, but at least I haven't missed her completley. I run to her and give her a hug and say good-bye.

Things are fuzzy here. But I'm later in the moving truck with my other friend Ruth eating marshmallows...(??), and we are driving up steep curving hills.



In real life I have the good-bye dinner tonight. I guess part of me is afraid I'm no going to make it there.

I had two LDs last night. They were both short. One was fuzzy. But I did make it to outer space in one. So that's cool.

Will write them up soon.

I'm so behind now.

I'll start with my two short LDs.

LD1:

I don't remember how I got lucid or what I was doing before.

I was at the edge of this very high cliff. I wanted to fly out and really appreciate the fact that I was able to just jump off the edge of a cliff and fly.

I suddenly got nervous and made myself hover before I went over the edge. I remember looking way down at the river below (it was a bit like the grand canyon).

I was going very slow and felt a liitle frustrated about that. But then I remembered recently answering a post about getting to outer space. I decided to practice the technique that I shared. This was the "changing scenery nto get to space" technique.

So as I flew I just imagined myself flying through the stars. It didn't take long before I saw that I actually was flying through the stars. I watched the stars pass me (it felt more like they were passing me than I was passing them). I then remembered the DV task of visiting all the planets. I still hadn't been able to get to a planet.

I started wishing for planets to show up so I could land on one. I didn't care what the planet looked like. I figured I could just call it what I wanted anyway. I wasn't really sure what each planet looked like up close anyway. The planet Neptune kept coming to mind, so I figured the planet that showed up would be my version of Neptune.

I started seeing fuzzy object pass me. I figured they were planets. But I couldn't get them to slow down so I could find out for sure.I finally lost lucidity.


LD2:

I'm going to have to rely totally on my notes for this one. I barely remember it.

I was going down a hill. SOme bad guy in a white suit.

Aaaa...my notes say "wanted to mess with.........(can't read word).

Started hurting me. So I just got away.

Here are a few other dreams. I haven't written down all of them, but here are the ones that I did write down.


Dream 1:

(After watching Dark Knight)

I was with the Joker. He was talking to me. I didn't like him, but he came up with this plan for us to work together and I felt that the plan was in the best interest of everyone, so I was thinking of accepting it.



Dream 2:

I was with this guy that was supposed to be French (he later looked more Arab). He wanted to go out with me. He met my mom. His name was "Dac". At one point I noticed his hair was pulled up in this headpiece and he had a costume that looked like he belonged at a Renaissance Festival.

Later we were hanging out with my old freind from high school KK. She wasn't gorgeous but had the body of a model, and was always a very charismatic person.

Before I knew it Dac was over talking with KK and I was left behind.



Dream 3:

I was looking through an old dresser and found a picture of me sitting next to a long haired guy that I supposedly remember being friends with. He was also in a band. I showed the picture to my mom, who then loses it. I felt upset, and for the rest of my dream am looking though all my stuff trying to find the picture again.


Dream 4:

I was hiking to Rainbow Bridge, At one point I felt confused because it wasn't the direction it was suppsed to be. Yet I found it. I explained it away by saying that I had taken an alternative route.

A group of us decide to play a game of baseball there in a clear spot neat the arch.


Dream 5 (frag):

I was in a boat that was in a river in the middle of town.


Dream 6 (frag):

I was sitting in the back of a boat watching the wake and talking to my friend KL.

Gorgeous pics, TS! (As usual. )

I always love the ones where you catch a bit of your kayaking gear in them (in this case, the third pic down, two posts ago). It's one thing to see pictures of awesome locations like those, another thing to see close-ups of people traveling toward them, and yet a whole 'nother thing all together when you see a great landscape pic with the kayaks just kinda stuck in the mix. Just gives the pic so much more context.

Glad you had a good time!

Gorgeous, can I come to visit you some weekend Wish my area looked like that.

Hello Suzy-Q!
Just wanted to say that reading your first Lucid dream was amazing! That sounds Epic! I am glad that you acheived lucidity.

I'm glad you liked them, O. I also like the look of the pictures that have the kayaks in them--that's why I do them when I can. The pictures tell more of a story then.

Proofread, Ninja?

You wouldn't even need a beautiful girl to love this area.



Dream:

I had a dream last night about an apatasaur chasing me. It was part of a longer dream. But I mostly just reemmber the dinosaur part. Typical. I was trying to hide in a garage which, as usual, looked like a wonderful hiding place. Only once I was in I realized I was completely exposed and trapped.
