DITTO! Rare you are really...something! Very very awesome and gifted and awesome!

Goodluck on your goals!

Aw thanks guys Love you <3


Last night was probably the most ridiculous dreaming night I've ever had. I kept waking up, slipping in and out of dreams almost seamlessly and getting spontaneous lucidity here and there.

First 5 hours of the night I had no recall at all, but I took a tip from Naiya's (did I spell that right?) DILD & WILD secrets guide and turned on a fan after my WBTB to try out white noise whilst I do a WILD. I gave up too early again, had only been trying for an hour, but I noticed when I opened my eyes I couldn't move at all. I didn't even notice going in sleep paralysis but apparently I did, no auditory or visual hallucinations but it took so much strength to actually try and move. I guess if my impatient mind had stuck with it for a little while longer I would have had no issues slipping into a lucid dream. Really need to keep practicing that.

After that I rolled over and shortly afterwards slipped into a non-lucid dream. Now, my dreams are usually crazy but these non-lucids that followed the failed WILD attempt were probably my most crazy yet. They were so vivid and full of madness that I have no real way to describe them.

Spoiler for Dreams:

Almost Lucid Dream One:
I was in a sort of foresty-style area, I was wearing a brown robe and all my hair had been shaved off. There was another girl here who was dressed similar. We both have knives in our hands and small rocks which we called our "totems" (oh subconscious using inception inspiration...) and we focused on them to develop our powers. Apparently the human race had evolved and people were beginning to grow these sort of telekinetic powers, the normal humans thought the ones who had grown the powers were a threat and had to be locked up to secure the rest of the human race. Me and this girl were trying to escape at the start of the dream.

Somewhere in the forest we came across this guy, he was also an evolved human but he seemed to have been brainwashed by the society that had captured us. He was shooting these purple beams from his hands at another person, tearing the power from her body and essentially killing her. He didn't seem to notice us, but soon enough a spotlight landed on top of us and we were told to freeze. We ran as fast as we could but panicked when we dropped our "totem rocks" because we would no longer be able to successfully perform our powers to defend ourselves. We came to a street where I saw some guards, we ran the opposite direction and then as soon as I realised it was a dream... it all faded.

Non-Lucid Dream Two:
The emotions felt in this dream were ridiculous. For some reason I had a fish bowl and it had developed holes in it, with the water leaking out. I was freaking out because I didn't know how to handle it, I was rapidly trying to block the holes but as soon as I did, another hole appeared. I was rapidly trying to fill up the tank with more and more water but it kept leaking out, faster and faster. I think soon enough I just panic to the point of waking myself up.

Almost Lucid Dream Three:
I had awoken from the previous dream and I attempted to DEILD. I slipped into another dream and realised I no longer noticed the white-noise from my fan. I got up out of bed, reality checked and realised I was dreaming again. The dream started to fade and I did my best to hold on to it, rubbing my hands together brought it back briefly but then it faded again. I was in "the black" desperately trying to bring the dream back, I guess I tried too hard because when I did open my eyes I was back in my waking life bedroom.

Non-Lucid Dream Four:
I had been captured by this robotic race of spiders, they had grown autonomous and were taking over the entire human race. A lot of escape plans failed, it was a stupidly long dream but I feel if I type that all out I'll be here for days. Eventually we come to near the end of the dream when we realise that this race of spiders were weak to a specific type of metal crashing against their skulls, it caused a resonating within them which caused them to explode. We did our best to overthrow the spiders but multiple people made attempts at stopping us, apparently by stopping the spiders we were halting the evolution of the human race and stunting time as this race was created for the pure purpose of evolution and to preserve time.

We eventually managed to kill all the spiders, but then the person I was killing them with was filled with remorse, she didn't know how to deal with the fact that she just wiped out the human race's only chance of evolution. Another girl nearby, playing guitar said, "No dear, you've simply realised time. There is no past, present or future, there is only now." -- She continued playing guitar until the dream faded to black and I opened my eyes in the waking world. I was quite spun out. I woke up completely disoriented.

So I had 2 lucids, making 3 this month already. I'm not going to count any of them to my actual lucid dream count though due to how quickly they ended, I feel that would be cheating.

There were a few other dreams I remembered too, but these were by far the most interesting.

Oh wow! Reaaaaally reaally nice!!

I had a dream about spiders as well Them spiders are up to something, I tell ya. D:

Oh, and what is "the black" that you mentioned? Is that the same thing as "the void", or something else? And congrats! 2 lucids, that's awesome! (And yes, they count! )

Just a term for that period at the end of a dream where no imagery is really there, usually just filled with blackness or another colour. Maybe a few swirly patterns, y'know, I'm sure you've experienced it.

Very nice job so from what I understand ur not using ina alarm?? Very good job dude!!!!!!

Nope, never use an alarm.

I have to I wake up just before it goes off but if u don't I just sleep and don't pay attention. Cool though

I don't know why I keep having "dream diarrhea" as Ophelia put it, but it happened again last night. Loads more completely ridiculous (yet awesome) non-lucids, and one I just don't even know how to describe.

It started off as a really, really long non-lucid, in a completely obscure environment. At one point I checked my hands, realised I was dreaming and feared I would wake up (due to my last 3 occurrences where this has happened and I instantly woke up.) I remember being excited when I didn't actually wake up and looked up at the world around me.. and then.... I don't remember much else.

I think I may have had a false awakening because the only thing I partially recall is being in my bed, thinking about what it would be like to skydive and I think trying to DEILD/Dream Incubate it... I have a brief memory of falling through the sky but that's it.

I guess False Awakening to dreaming about becoming lucid. So basically another 3 second lucid dream

Spoiler for One of My Non-Lucid Dreams:

We had built this kind of "underworld" which was a safe-haven from the chaos that was ensuing on the surface world when it was being over-run by demons. I remember walking around this underworld, examining areas that still needed to be crafted out of the pinkish/purplish stone that made up the entire land of this realm. It was very vast and I was walking around this world for a really long period of time, felt like at least a few hours in dream time.

At one point we went into a code red. Some demons had discovered our world and were breaking through from the surface world. As quickly as we could we constructed new portals and defence systems by "channelling" our powers onto archways and turrets made out of a special rock.

I remember going back to the surface world briefly and being captured by this woman, who tried to lock me up in a cage. I refused to get in the cage and she transformed into this demon dog. She started growling and chasing after me, somehow I escaped and was running through the surface world. I lost her, but then I noticed that a guy was following me. I went into an elevator and he followed me in, so I walked back out and so did he.

He seemed to be repeating something, over and over. I was walking as fast as I could to get away from him and walked into this crowd of other people who then morphed into this guy. I was surrounded by them and they were chanting this phrase (which I don't remember) over and over again, getting closer to me with each chant. I woke up soon after.

Ahahahaaha dream diarrhea x) That's awesome though, so much potential to go lucid!


Poop them dreamz.

Wow lmao I think ur about to enter a new level of lucidity bud

Had a lucid today, actually managed a self-initiated scene change by walking through a wall. I briefly remembered the Task of the Month but was way too dedicated with my scene change that I quickly forgot to do it, which was stupid really, I should have realised that I could have done a scene change to an alien planet and done the Task of the Month.

I'll post about this lucid in my dream journal once my permissions get fixed.

Ooooh congrats! You're raking in the lucids! That's awesome hahahaha Looking forward to reading your DJ

!!!!! Save some for the rest of us lol good job cola

Posted my lucid from the 9th July now that I can access the Dream Journal again: 9th July 2012 - 13th Lucid Dream [Successful Scene Transition!] - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Dream recall has been really off these last 3 days or so. Not too sure why, really. I'm waking up naturally throughout the night still, I just seem to be lacking the recall ability. Also I'm fairly certain I had at least some partial lucidity in a dream last night, but I can't recall it. Sucks :l

One fragment I did recall was pretty creepy though. A guy in a mask leapt on top of this other guy and with his bare hands ripped the nerves out of this guy's arm and sliced them with a knife. Many screams of terror.

How unnerving.

I see what you did there. Harhar.

Haha I couldn't resist.

But that was a seriously morbid dream. I've had torture dreams like that too, so not fun. And sorry about the recall lately.. I know I always ask this, but are you getting enough sleep? And also, are you too incredibly exhausted when you do go to sleep? That kills my recall.

Funny thing is, it wasn't really a torture dream. I was infiltrating some kind of enemy base and I was noticed (or something along those lines, it's not particularly clear) another spy that had infiltrated found me about to be caught and then... yea. Ripped the nerves from his arms.

But yea, I'm not really sure what's going on with my recall. Same sleeping times as usual, not really any more tired than usual. I just seem to wake up and have a vague memory of my dream, knowing that I did have an extensive dream, but I can barely recall it.

Just read through all my dreams from the last 12 days, gathered as many single-word tags from the descriptions of the dreams as possible and then saw how many duplicates I got so I could figure out my dream signs. This is what I discovered:

My most popular reoccurrence was a female character of some kind, in 6 of my dreams I had interactions with a female who would either help me out or simply just follow along as a companion in the dream. I also noticed I tend to not follow dream stories alone, In 5 of my dreams I have had a friend with me of some sort, though this is not always exclusively female.

Other less common dream signs included:
- Young children (4 occurrences)
- Dream taking place in a video game-esque environment (4 occurrences)
- Transforming into a female, or possessing a female (4 occurrences)
- Shopping (3 occurrences)
- Rooms with lots of the same furniture, for example lots of beds or sofas in one room (2 occurrences)

I like this and your listing of goals. I think I will start this as well.

New week, new start. Remembered a lot more dreams this morning, and partial lucidity I'm not sure if it has to do with the apple juice that I started drinking this week again, but after none last week and such terrible recall it wouldn't surprise me.

Recalled about 4 dreams in total, 2 of which had partial lucidity though in the first the lucidity faded back into non-lucidity and in the 2nd I woke up.

Well hey, it's an improvement so well done.

What happened in them?

So on the 11th day of no lucidity, I had a brief 5 second lucid. Followed by a DEILD attempt where I could see HI of bookcases rising up from the ground and forming a moving library, which was then interrupted by my alarm going off

July 20th, less than 2 weeks to have 3 more lucids to complete my lucid goals for this month. Still need to do the advanced TOTM too.
