I need motivation!

[Conkt]

Summer vacation is here, and I'm devoted to getting better at lucid dreaming! For that, I need inspiration. I want everyone to post their favorite dream, straight from your dream journal. Go into as much detail as possible. I look forward to reading this elite list!

Alright, here's one where I felt really powerful: I was riding on the top of a train, and a girl from school is in front of me. I said something to her, and she got really mad at me, so I jumped off, thinking she was going to attack me. She jumped off too, and we both rolled down a hill. It was in a semi rural town late at night. Running, I go into a building. There's no lights on and nobody in there. Knowing it's a dream, I'm not sure what will be in there, so I don't go any further than the front room. I turn around and there's the girl. I run and shove past her to go outside. Lights come up around me as I go into the drive way, and she's trying to start my truck. She's got friends there who are witches apparently, and they're slowing me down with some magic thing, making me move REALLY slow. To taunt the girl in the truck, I hop on one foot, going even slower. I then hear it start up. I snap my fingers, expecting the car to blow up.Nothing happens. I then imagine a flame in the middle and snap my fingers. The truck shoots up in the air, flames shoot out of the windows, and the girl and her friends are all killed. I walk down the street in the cool night air as the dream ends. Pretty epic, no? Here's another, just for the fun of it. From my lucid journal: Lucid #17 Type: DILD Date: 4/09/09 Round two of the last dream. This time, the leaders (who for some reason, I think to be Skynet from the Terminator series ) decide it's not a game anymore. We must be eliminated. We take off running, and a white fighter plane comes after us. We hear a loudspeaker announcing that they are going to be launching a bomb, and we jump off into some forest on the side to hide. Some of us are still carrying our airsoft guns from last game because we were so shocked. My friend Zach has a 30 pound SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon). He jumps down into the trench with me. Suddenly, the whole thing doesn't seem right to me. I realize I'm dreaming. At first I dismiss it. I recognize that I'm dreaming, but it doesn't mean anything to me. Then I realize I can use it. My friend Dan is there. I say "I'm dreaming. I can get us out of this". I turn to Dan and I tell him "Hey, you're having a dream too." He looks at me and says "you told me that three hours ago. I was lucid, but thunder kept waking me up." I look to a tree on my left, and find a Barret sniper rifle. I lift it up and fit it to my shoulder, and then I realize there's no magazine in it. I feel something very heavy in my pocket, and pull out the clip. The bullets didn't look as big as they should have been, but oh well. I raise it to my shoulder and look through the scope. It's cool, because I have to find my target myself, but I know I can always make one appear if I need to. I see a white van driving around in circles and realize it's looking for us, so it can tell the drone where to go. I shoot it twice in the side, but nothing happens. I can't find it, so I zoom out the scope. Now I see it. Sweeping the scope to the left, it moves just faster than the truck. I pull the trigger and the bullet hits one of the tires. It spins out and crashes into a tree before rolling down a very long hill. Satisfied, I drop it and the dream ends You better feel special that I used my 900th post on you.

You better feel special that I used my 900th post on you. Yes, I feel special Those were some pretty epic dreams! I wish mine were more exciting like yours. Do you have a lot of action dreams? Do you watch a lot of action movies in real life?

[oniman7]

I watch a fair amount of action movies, you could say. I do have a lot of action dreams, but most of them are zombies dreams. I don't think I've ever had a lucid one of those before. Sounds fun. My goal in the next dream is to plant a bomb in a building, put the detonator on a Browning .50 cal Machine gun, and blast away. Eventually, hit the button and detonate it.

Hmmm, my favorite dream huh? I had a dream where I was at some pool party, filled with people I didn't recongize. I preform one of my reflexise reality checks, examining the number of fingers on my hands, and low and behold: eight fingers on my right hand. I was so giddy, I almost phased out of my dream. Luckily, I stablized myself quickly. Suddenly, the dull world around me was bright, and vivid, and visceral, and... Well you get the point. Finally, I thought, I can really explore my world. My first self set goal was to pull my reflection out of the pool. I leaned over the edge of the pool, and stared deep at my reflection. I'm sure it would have returned the stare if it had had a face. I wrapped my hands around it's head and pulled. Unfortunately, it didn't take kindly to the intrusion a pried my hands off, and very nearly forced me out of my dream! I gave up on my reflection, instead stablizing myself and choosing to interregate the party guests. Now I approached the most detailed guest, a man of, apparently, native-american descent and asked him a single question: "Why do we dream?" After a suitibly dramatc pause, he spread his arms out, gesturing to the rest of the crowd and replied, "Because we must." "Because, you must?" I replied. Unfortunately, the guest had suddenly become hostile. They encircled me, preparing to cut off any chance of escape. The man I was speaking to grinned loppsidedly and pulled a crowbar out of thin air. Deciding thing were getting too dangerous for my lucidity (dream death usually forces me out of the dream), I shot off into the sky. Of course, they followed. At this point, I exercised my lucid powers, both by knocking them out the the sky with Green Lantern-esque force fists, but by speeding up to ludicrous levels. Eventually, I arrived at a posionious forest which they refused to enter, but remained close enough to taunt me, claiming escape was only a temporary measure. Since this wasn't enough, and since I was still thinking about all the recent fighting, a being with angel wings floated down from the sky and chanllenge me to a duel. Suddenly, the tone shifted to that of a turn-based RPGish battle. By this time I was thinking along the lines of, "I'm getting too old for this shit," and proceeded to break all turn-based conventions and attack out of turn. After my surprisingly quick victory, a text box covered my vision and illegible word scrolled across the 'screen'. At this point I woke up, and hastly scribbled down some key terms for the dream, and went promptly back to sleep. The end. TL;DR, am I right? Anyways, I tend to have extremely long dreams, and this one continued, albeit in a modified theme when I went back to sleep, but I've been typing this for the last 20 minutes so I need to stop XD

Isn't it strange how DCs don't want you to be lucid? I've never heard of them attacking someone like this, though! Whenever I'm on the verge of lucidity and about to do an RC, the DCs all become silent and stare at me with anger, forcing me to not become lucid.

Whenever I'm on the verge of lucidity and about to do an RC, the DCs all become silent and stare at me with anger, forcing me to not become lucid. To be fair, they might not have been hostile had I not assumed them to be. Naturally I only thought of that possibility when it was too late -_-

i'm just reading this thread right now and i spotted the date when it was started. i got to ask.... how is your lucid dreaming now? if you are still at it.
