Hey Aeolar, I look forward to reading more of your posts when you come back! When you do come back, I have a few questions for you:
What induction techniques do you use? Do you know about how many LDs you've had altogether? I saw your DJ has about a dozen. What are some of your long and short-term LD goals? What would you like to do in your next LD?

I hope you have a good vacation.

I'm in Illinois at Grandma's. I become lucid and walk up the hill. I think of what I want to do, and stand there and take in my surroundings. I take a minute to stabilize the dream, and notice a ton of DC's all around me. I see a naked women and think to myself "why not?" She's very defensive when I touch her so I leave her alone to bask in the sun, nakedly, and go about my business. I walk forward out and near the train tracks. There, on the other side, sitting under the shade of a tree, is a woman. She has long flowing black hair and is wearing a cutoff white t-shirt and blue jeans. She gives off the impression of a Spanish girl. Her arms are sleeved with tattoos, and I touch her left arm and sit down next to her.

"Are you dreaming right now?" I ask her politely.
"No, but I had a dream last week," She replies, much to my surprise.
"What was it about?"
At this point she says a phrase in French or Spanish, and ends with "An older life of mine."
"Ah, a dream about your previous life?" I clarify.
"Yes, yes. I was in Spain during Queen Isabella's reign, and I was struggling."

At this point, she gets up and walks to a nearby wooden chair in front of a large wooden banquet table. I stand on the other side and ask,
"Were you a princess?"
She nods her head, "Yes, I was. Though there was no prince because there were.. Complications"

~~~
It's interesting because I did some research and found this article which seemed quite similar to what this DC described to me!
Isabella; I.E My DC?

I'm looking at my hands. I become lucid. I stare at my hands until they begin to fade, then I look at the surroundings. I look around until these begin to fade, then I look back at my hands.

I'm at home playing video games downstairs while Dad is working on the front door. I think it's too soon before I go home and become lucid. I look at my hands and I do have 10 fingers... I push my finger through my hand but it isn't working... I know it's a dream though!! I pinch my nose closed and find I can breathe!!
I walk out the front door pondering what to do, and meanwhile I take in all my surroundings. I notice how green and real the grass is, and see a nearby patch of dirt. I grab a handful of dirt and shove it in my mouth, wondering if it will really taste like dirt. WORST. IDEA. EVER. I spit it out instantly but it gives me major cotton mouth and I can't get all of it out. I spend the rest of the dream trying to summon a toothbrush to clean my mouth out with.

Ahahahaha, that's great Aeolar. A terrible experience for you, but I laughed heartily. =p You and Paige are very brave for daring to taste the ground. I had a dream where I had stink bugs in my mouth and I couldn't get them out. That was pretty gross, but fortunately I didn't taste anything, I just saw the little buggers.

Congrats on the multiple lucids though! You had a very productive vacation. Your LD from July 3rd definitely sounds the most pleasant. Those are some nice LD goals. Good luck on DEILD chaining and such! You had 3 LDs in a week, so you're halfway to a LD each night for a week!

I'm in school taking final exams and I see Aldo, my old school friend. I get all excited when I see him. We hug and I stay in his class for a while before I get kicked out by the teacher. I try to go to my regular class to take my exam, but I see Aldo again. Dreamskip. I'm walking down this forest trail with my cousin James and I notice two naked women lying up ahead in the path. One of them runs when she sees us and the other stares at us. The dream begins to fade as we walk closer and I become lucid, trying to stabilize the dream. I turn really fast trying to look at everything, but I can start to feel my body lying in bed, and lie very very still. James yells something which helps keep me in the dream. It fades and soon I see this spinning Super Mario sign like the one in SM64. I reappear in a room with James and the two girls but also with my little cousin Jacob. I walk outside and stabilize, and think how cool it would be to ride in a limo with a hot tub with two girls!

Sure enough a black limo does pull up, and it... Does have a hot tub. More like a hot foot bath, for one person. It's so disappointing, but I say to myself beggars can't be choosers and get in anyways. But just to put salt on fresh wounds I get kicked out by one of the girl DC's who tells me I'm not good enough for it!! xD

Back!
Okhay, well, wasn't expecting this. Let's go from first to last, shall we?

"What would you like to do in your next LD?"
I would like to fly upside down in the air.

What are some of your long and short-term LD goals?
My long term LD goals would be: Lucid dream for 7 days straight, create a recurring dream pet, and find out some unknown but verifiable piece of information from the dream
My short term LD goals would be: Have multiple LD's in a night, Successfully WILD, Have an extended LD(Possibly through DEILD), and Battle Ninjas with Katanas!!

Do you know about how many LDs you've had altogether?
I don't know the exact number, but I wouldn't be unreasonable to say about 30. I've been into LDing for ~3 years now :3

What induction techniques do you use?
I don't stick to any one set of techniques, but I am more oriented toward ADA and DILD, but if I'm really wanting an LD I'll do a sort of WBTB MILD, full of confidence building and excitement and super happy fun yeah time!

Hey! 'grats on the lucid!

BAAAAAAAAAAD idea indeed! I once was curious also, so I got down on my knees and licked the ground. And I'm talking about dry, coarse, sandy ground with who knows what in it. Lol. It was an interesting experience though, but probably won't try it again.

I'm with three other boys, we're all outside looking for this bird right outside a huge forest. We're running around in the grasslands searching hard for this bird. One of the boys sees it and shouts to us to help him grab it. We chase it in the grass for a while and we catch it finally. It looks like a pheasant except it looks like it's been cooked in the oven and it's skin is starting to peel off. The three boys want to eat it right there because it will give you "special powers " One boy can't wait and throws his face into the live bird and starts ripping it apart with his teeth. Disgusting.

As he is devouring it, I look around to see this yellow goop seeping out of the earth and worming towards us from all directions. The sky begins to turn black and I get rather frightened. Lightning begins to strike around us as thunder rumbles the earth, and we hear a boy next to us yell as he gets taken away by the goop monster. We sprint back to our home and lock the doors. Inside is our family: 3 girls and 2 older men. We frantically tell them to shut and bolt all the doors and windows in the house, before the goop gets us. They don't listen and very soon after this goop breaks through the windows in the shape of hands and attacks the family. Once it touches a person they turn yellow and try to eat us! I'm terrified and run out the front door, hoping to run to town. Outside it's completely black, a void, and I think that the town would be a much worse place if there were infected. I turn around and the whole group of people is coming towards me. I panic and the dream fades.

As I'm lying in darkness, I become lucid, and think to myself that I could have handled that a whole lot better than I did. I hear a voice telling me to "face your fears", so I re-visualize the dream and enter right where I left off. They're about to attack me when I say, "I'm sorry! We didn't know what we were doing! I'm sorry!!"
Everything stops.
My infected family forgives me, and immediately changes. I hardly believe it, but I have to. I turn to see my normal family next to me, and the infected family in front of my. I ask the infected's what they're going to do now, and they reply that they are going to live upstairs now. I feel satisfied and ask one of the infected girls how she feels. She kisses me and thanks me.

You stabilized the dream very nicely! I wonder if your dream had James yell out to you in order to help keep you in the dream. Cool that the black limo appeared with a foot tub. And at least you got to dip your feet in before the girl kicked you out. You managed to fulfill your desire! It just didn't last long. =p

I am in "The Deadliest Catch" TV series, and I am sitting in this diner section of the barge. I'm eating a crust of bread by myself when I wonder where the rest of my meal went, I certainly don't remember eating it. I think about it for a good minute, nibbling on the crust and looking around the room at the other people. I do a hand RC to find that the pinky & ring finger on my left hand have fused together! I get on a boat(I think) that takes me to the nearby beachhead, and I get off and walk up into the sand. There I look at the backs of my hands and marvel at the little hairs, freckles, and pores that I can see. I bend over and pick up a handful of sand and inspect each of the tiny little grains and pebbles of sand. I turn around to look at my surroundings and am shocked when I see the barge and the boat still behind me! I had thought they would have left by now, but I guess I underestimated the dream.

I turn back towards the beach and ponder what I should do. The beach is eerily quiet, so I should aloud to the dream sky, "I want to summon a DC to me!"

I turn to my left to see a little brownish boy wearing a green shirt running towards me in the sand, and turn to my left to see two girl bicyclists coming towards me. I turn back and forth, looking at each and deciding which one I want to talk to. I decide to talk to the bicyclists, and by now can get a good look at them. The one in front is tall and wearing all black, with a black bob cut to match. The other is smaller, has long blonde wavy hair, and is wearing a long white shirt. The tall cyclist reaches me first and gets off her bike.
"Hi! My name is Jason, and I've got a job for you!"

.... Jason? WTF?

I am so confused that I loose focus and lucidity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am struggling to keep the dream fluid and get lucidity. I get patchy images of standing in a band room with a lot of other kids. Now I am standing on a styrofoam lunch tray and flying round in circles, conducting the band. I dismiss the class, but a few students linger and I decide to follow them. They walk down a staircase and into a dark hallway. I wait after going down the stairs and attempt to "engage all my senses" I see, hear, feel, and touch everything around me, but I don't taste anything. I lick a nearby fire hydrant handle, a doorknob, and a wall that has puzzle pieces on it. It tastes soapy, dirty, and sweet, respectively.
I lost the group of people but keep walking down the hallway, giving a hearty "Hello!" to whichever DC crosses my path. On of the DC's I greet tells me that she'll "Clear the deception" for me so that I can find them again. Now I can either turn left or right, and I choose to turn right down a hallway and through a door. I am now outside in a small courtyard, and decide to get a better look at the whole place, so I levitate up to the roof and see the group I was following, standing together by a fountain. I walk over to them but get distracted and find myself taking family portrait pictures.

LOOOOL Jason?! Maybe it was RareCola! Great job btw!
