One very long annoying lucid

**mylucidworld** · 12-29-2007 05:18 PM

I had a lucid dream where i was dreaming of street fighter (probably because of chaos theory) and i became lucid and it only lasted about 5 minutes i think, in that time i knocked for this hot woman but a man answered and said she ain't in, (liar) anyway nothing much happened in that lucid.

In my next lucid i become lucid in my old street and i am thinking of what i can do so i walk up my street and i knock for a few people but i don't get answers. After wandering around my street bored out of my mind thinking of something to do i decide to fly down the pub (i have difficulty flying again) and i think i might wake up because i crash a few times but i don't wake up. (one of those lucids where nothing wakes you up) I am about to walk in when i notice a boy holding a list, and there is a table with people queuing, (i don't like this) you have to sign in. I try to walk in but they won't let me so i go and sign my signature on a list and i walk in.

After all that it's just an ordinary pub with mostly middle aged people everywhere, i walk out into a corridor and i notice there are a few other rooms so i explore but they are not pub like, one was like a lounge and the other a gym where a class was taking place or something. As i am leaving people are calling me trying to persuade me not to leave but i walk out. I check out another pub but that wasn't that great either so i head back up to my street. Actually now i remember i saw one of my old lucid girlfriends and we ended up hugging and stuff. (like you do when you haven't seen somebody for ages) Back in my street now there is an old neighbour of mine and he comes out into his garden as he used to do, and an old friend of mine goes up to his car to lock it i think then walks back.

I wander around some more thinking of what i can do but nothing comes to mind, and then to make things better an old lady (the wife of the neighbour of mine) approaches me with a fighting stance

. I am like you can't be serious but she was so i say something like tekken 2 style

, but then i think surely there is something better i could be doing so i think to my list of lucid goals but i can't think of them, then i recall the make it snow so i look into the sky (it's blue sky with traces of clouds) and i say let it snow while imagining it happening but nothing happens (several attempts) so i try to change it to night with no success either.

I try really hard to think of my other goals but nothing, (i could have thought of find out my dream name, get a dc phone number, my latest goal for a few but none of those came to mind) and not long after i wake up. This lucid seemed to last for about an hour and a half.

Focus on a specific goal. A single goal. You may think that it will only grant a few minutes of fun, but if you give it proper depth and enthusiasm, it will stretch into a good dream.

Take changing the weather. If shouting at the sky doesn't work, maybe you could walk into a crowd and ask the weatherman to raise his hand. Then he could help you. Or perhaps someone tells you to use a weather machine, which is in their backyard. Next thing you know, you are using missiles shaped like Bullet Bills to shoot down the sun, sending the world into an ice age. You spend the remainder of the lucid dream playing Extreme Street Hockey against a mammoth.

Also, don't change the goal. If you don't become lucid one night, keep the same goal for a while. This will tell your mind that you really want it to happen.

LDing can be a curse sometimes. You are so free to do what you want but ... you can't do anything, or at least, can't think of anything.

I agree with Abra. Make sure you have one certain goal. Tell yourself that this is what you're going to do in your next lucid, every night before you go to sleep. When you do become lucid you should remember it and you'll have something to do.

Edit: Or you could just go with the flow of the dream. It's amazing what your subconcious can think up and if you just keep with it you could have so much more fun than a set task.

Yes when you stick to one goal it is alot easier to recall it when becoming lucid. (having trouble staying with one though) I have a new one tonight but i am going to try to stay with this one for a while now, and as for the summoning thing i don't think i will ever be good at it.(it seems to be better in later stages of rem lucids) I'm not to sure about the extreme street hockey thing but i suppose it would have been better than what i was doing. (fighting an old lady)

Yes there is so much to do while lucid yet i can't think of anything. Yes the subconscious can come up with some crazy things like last night (you had to sign in to enter the pub.

Same thing just happened to me last night! Had a non-lucid for a while, became lucid and couldn't think of anything to do so just followed people round and stuff. It'll be in my DJ soon but I can't be bothered now.

Isn't it annoying.
