LOL....yeah, that's right!

Oh man, I guess I did. I'd rather not that happen again. But then again, if it did, I could just do flips....:p

Too funny.....


By the way, I drew a sketch of the wheeled trees for my Dream Journal for any one who cares to see.

Twoshadows - Remember me telling you how funny I found your dream yesterday, well it must have stuck in my mind as last night when I was lucid I remember I was doing some sort of task, I think I was trying to find a girl who I had seen of a big TV screen and I was running down this tunnell this was made of glass (I put my finger through this and it felt the same as when you put your finger through you hand). Then I remembered your dream, and thought hey, I want to make a tree run too, so was running really fast to get out this tunnel to find a tree, but the faster I ran the less vivid the dream became!!! When I got outside there were no trees about, and I was loosing the dream fast, I widened my eyes as much as I could to try stay lucid but then I lost the dream and lost lucidity!!

So tonight, I will master this lol. Thanks to you and your story, I remembered to try this task. Oh well, will try again

Two Shadows, you get credit for that one. OMG, wheels under the trees and a blue background, you've really got to wonder sometimes what goes on in a person's subconcious. That is one of the wildest things I've heard in a while!

Infraredkelp, didn't you drop off into some water somewhere?

That's great! :p

I know you'll do it. Good luck. I hope your trees don't all have wheels, too. But at least we know that it's close enough to count (although I'm sure it helped that my first tree fooled me by looking like it was walking on its roots for the first 10 feet or so.)

Thanks Seeker! It was a crazy dream, and it might have ended with me feeling frustrated if it were not for me discovering how good those dream flips feel....

Those wings look mighty fine on you, TwoShadows.

Congratulations!

Today, in my after work nap, I became Lucid and went for the advanced task. I dont think this really counts because the tree did not actualy walk. But it was a lot of fun.

I am in an apartment with an old friend, when I suddenly become Lucid for no reason. My friend has the refrigerator door open, and is going through stuff.
I think he is getting ready to make something to eat. I tell him he should quit doing what he is doing. because this is a dream, and he is wasting time. to my surprise he actualy believes me. I dont think of the Lucid task right away.
The first thing that I think of doing, is pinching my nose and trying to breath.
I have wanted to try this since reading about it here. I tell my friend about it, and we are both sitting there pinching our noses and trying to breath.
It takes me a few times to get it right. But eventualy I have my nose pinched, and I am breathing fine.(it's kind of cool)

So, my friend and I, walk out into the living room. I am all excited, and doing kind of an happy dance. And I am levitating pretty much everything in the room. I have stuff floating around all over the place. suddenly, I hear my friend say "Check this out." So I turn and Look. There are three copper colored bars, protruding from the top of his skull. The bars curve forward, and there are lightbulbs screwed into the ends of them. It's Like there is a lamp stuck in his head. His eyes are open very wide, and bugging out of there sockets.
And also, his eyes are rolling wildly in different directions. He has his hands above his head, and is holding onto the light bulbs and turning them.
(I never saw anything quite like it before) I say "whoa cool trick man!

I then run up the side of the wall. I jump off the wall, and try to spin through the air, and land on my feet. But I end up falling on my ass. I am thinking, man I have better skills than that! Now I am thinking, well I'm here Lucid, and I have no Idea what I want to do next. And I am thinking about how I had just mentioned, being in this situation, in a post on DV.

Then I think Holy crap! The Lucid task! I get really excited, and I take off running towards the door. I spin once, hoping that it will help keep me in the dream long enough. I yank the door open, and go running down the hall as fast as I can. I get outside, and it is a little dark out. Suddenly, my eye lids
feel real heavy. I am thinking, its because I don't have my glasses on. But I'm like, that can't be right, I dont need glasses in a dream. Then, Oh I bet it's because I'm stoned, That makes sense. ( I have not smoked pot in a lot of years) I stopped thinking about it and the sensation went away. I went looking for a tree. In front of the building was a group of medium size trees.
It's pretty windy, and the trees are blowing around wildly. I reach out with my thoughts, and levitate the tree right out of the ground. The tree is now floating through the air, with it's roots dangling. Hmm, the task is make a tree walk, not fly! Now I notice that the trees are laughing at me.(kind of fascinating) So, I lower the tree so it's touching the ground. I make it kind of hop along a little bit. But it's roots are not moving, so it's not walking! I decide, I am going to put it back in the ground, and try all over. I lower it into the ground. But I lose control of it's descent, and it sinks into the earth,
and Vanishes. So I try pulling it back up again. As I do, the top most branches appear. And they now loook like, silvery metal tentacles. And they are wipping around all over. I am struggeling with getting this thing out of the ground, when I wake up. So, unless making the tree hop along counts, I failed. But it was fun as hell though. Hope it was not to long.

Caradon, loved your dream tho I gotta admit that your lightbulb headed friend kinda freaked me out!

I hope you get credit for the task if for no other reasons than 1) the tree did come out of the ground roots and all, 2) It did "move" and 3) just to make you feel better about the other trees laughing at you!!

I could really picture everything you described.. very well told!

.

Caradon - WOW! That was really cool. I wish my lucids lasted that long.

I'm with Clairity. I think it counts! You got the tree out of the ground and made it fly and hop! Close enough.

Thanks for your support guys. I'm just happy I got to try this, before the month was over.

Clairity, Thanks for the compliment on my writing. I considerd myself a pretty bad writer, and was a little self conscious about trying to post my dreams.

Hey, awesome dream, Caradon! Good job with the control.
I know what you mean about the nose RC being cool. To me it was one of the weirdest, but greatest sensations I've ever had in a dream. I don't know why, but I find it even a better feeling than breathing underwater.

I didn't manage to complete either of the lucid tasks this month. I've been having LDs very rarely all of the sudden, so I was just happy to have an LD at all last night!

My lucid dream sprung from a nightmare this time, which doesn't happen too often for me. Here is my dream...


As a forward note, the dog in this dream does not actually belong to me. Oh, and the house and back yard in this dream are supposedly mine, but actually look nothing like my real home. (Except for the bathroom, that looked almost exactly like my bathroom at home.)

The dream, or should I say nightmare, starts out with me getting attacked my my pet rottweiler in my back yard. I am very afraid, and my dog keeps talking to me and keeps telling me he won't attack me again, that he is sorry, he was just hungry. I don't believe him, as he is currently chewing on a piece of meat from who knows what - or who. I am still scared so I avoid him by hiding behind a pile of wooden boards. I call out to my mom, who lets me in the house through a sliding glass door. She goes off to do something, and I go into the bathroom and check my face in the mirror to make sure that I am not totally deformed from the attack by my dog.
For some reason I become completely and horribly depressed and I just feel so aweful and upset. I can't remember if I cried or not, but whatever. I decided that this couldn't be happening, it wasn't real. 'I must be dreaming, yes I'm dreaming, thats it." I thought to myself. Then I realized, "Hey wait a minute, I AM dreaming!" At that point I became VERY lucid. I had the distinct feeling that comes with a lucid dream. I quickly composed myself, knowing that none of this was real, and I had no reason to be upset.
I was trying to think of what to do, but I couldn't really think of anything. It took me a looong time to remember the tasks. All of the sudden when I was about to try the first task (Conjuring a vine on a tree in my yard, swinging off and landing in the next door neighbor's pool), my mom comes running to the bathroom shouting "Someone is coming! Look who's coming!" while I was shouting, "Mom, I'm dreaming! I'm in a lucid dream!"
She kept shaking me, trying to get me out of my lucid state for some reason. It felt just like when she used to try to wake me up so I could get to school. We kept shouting at each other, almost hysterically until she finally won (as usual, of course). I gave in and looked at whoever was 'coming' and I instantly lost my lucidity. I don't really remember what happened next except there were a bunch of very fancy truck-like things driving by the window.


Not a very good lucid dream, though it felt quite realistic until I noticed the setting was all wrong. But it's an accomplishment to me. I finally ended my (roughly) 2 and a half month lucid dry spell!!! YES!

I was kind of surprised though, because last night I had been originally planning to go to sleep normally, wake up in the middle of the night, write down my dreams and attempt a WILD. Though I could probably have a go at a WILD strait away in the future, I find the waking up, then WILDing most effective for me, and more comfortable. (It just feels most natural to me.)

Unfortunately, I kind of lost my cool after my LD that I forgot to write down my other dreams, so I forgot them.


I hope you didn't mind reading such a long post. Thanks!

Congratulations, It's a good feeling I know. Thats pretty funny your mom trying to shake you out of it. It's cool you talked to a dog. I am planning to try that In a lucid soon. (Moonbeams Idea)

Neat dream, Indescribable! (Well except for it being a nightmare...but at least you got lucid!) I wish I could end my dryspell...I've only had about a nanosecond-long lucid since I did the task.

Me too! What's up with that? Literally one maybe 15 second lucid... failed RCs... and dreaming about dreamsigns to boot!

I guess if it were easy, everybody would be doing it.

I did it.. .. I did it.. .. oh, and did I mention that .. I did it..

I know I may be a tad too happy but this is the first lucid dream I've had in about a month and (cue slow violin music and my best southern accent).."Ah nevvah thought Ah'd lucid dream agin!"

Want to read it .. here it go!

I went to the living room couch about 3:45 am, stayed awake about 20 minutes and then layed down to WILD. I've had my last 10 or so WILDs while on my side but the last few attempts I fell asleep too quickly so even though it "feels" like I'll never fall asleep on my back.. I decided to try it on my back.

I realized I had fallen asleep, that I was lucid and I rolled off the couch. I went out the door to discover that it was barely light enough to see. It suddenly came to me to rub my hands together to make the dream more vivid (and it worked)!

I see a grove of trees and make my way over to them. A beautiful bird flies over and lands on my open palm. I take a moment to admire it when the lucid task of the month pops into my head and I all but spike the bird to the ground!

I head towards the trees but just at that moment my husband walks into the living room and starts TALKING TO ME! ARE YOU FREAKIN' INSANE! Haven't I told you about bothering me during my special special time when I'm trying to have a special special dream! He's just keeps blathering on until he finally meanders his ass into the bathroom and shuts the door. I'm am so mad I could scream but then it dawns on me that I'm still asleep.. it's a FALSE AWAKENING!!

Once again I roll off the couch and go out the door. This time it's bright and more vivid outside. The dream must have picked up where it left off because I see the same grove of trees and I select one that is about 15 feet tall and has a trunk of about 30 inches wide.

I walk up to it and commanded, "ARISE AND COME TO ME." Ok.. that sounds really lame right now but it was really cool at the time (I guess ya had to be there).

The tree begins to vibrate and rumble in the ground and then slowly levitates straight up and hoovers there with its roots dangling beneath it.

Umm.. that's not right. Now I don't know why I said, "DANCE WITH ME!" (maybe I was having a ballroom moment) but that's what I said. The tree hoovered a few seconds more than set back down on the ground and shuffled up to me (sort of like a guy in a tree costume)! Once it was in front of me it began to sway slowly back and forth. I did notice that the tree did not have any facial features (no eyes, ears, nose or mouth).. it was just your garden variety dancing tree!

I must have slipped into a non-lucid dream cuz the last thing I recall was being with my son and seeing a huge monarch butterfly sitting on "something". I hadn't seen one this big since I left Iowa (which should have led me to do a reality check but it didn't). Its wings were closed atop its back and I picked it up by its wings between my thumb and forefinger and took it over to show my son. I then set it down and realize once it starts to fly away that its either not very healthy or very old as its colors aren't very bright and its kind of wobbly in flight.

Suddenly my STOOPID dog starts barking to be let out startling the crap out of me and almost jarred all memory of my dreams out of my head! Now that was bad enough but then she CONTINUES to bark! Do you know how HARD it is to recall a fading dream with a dog barking every few seconds. Ok.. there was a bird (BARK), I see trees (BARK BARK), tree shuffles to me (BARK BARK BARK)! Alright I'm coming!!! *grumble grumble*

But I did the task.. kinda.. well the tree did rise out of the ground and there were roots and it did come to me.

C'mon Seeker.. give me credit!! (where is that "begging" emoticon?)

PS.. neither my husband nor my dog were injured during the making of this lucid dream and both are still alive and healthy!

.

lol, cool dream.

Oh yeah, Clairity! You did it, with a flourish!

I see a grove of trees and make my way over to them. A beautiful bird flies over and lands on my open palm. I take a moment to admire it when the lucid task of the month pops into my head and I all but spike the bird to the ground!

I just about choked when reading that one. I have this image of you in an eden-like environment, this beautiful bird coming flying over and alighting on your palm, you with the wind in your hair and the distant clouds glinting in your eyes...

And then you remember. Too bad for the bird!

LOL.. that's pretty much how it was!! I can't recall if the bird hit the ground or not but you would have thought it was acid the way I dropped it!!

Seismosaur, I'm glad you liked it!

Congratulations! It's kind of funny how you were surprized that the tree didn't have a face!

Yeah.. I don't know why that surprised me (maybe I watched too much "Wizard of Oz" growing up)! LOL!

.

My first lucid dream involved me being at school on a normal school day, boring huh? Anyway, I became lucid and noticed that there was a lake on my school oval (There is some sort of water treatment thing next to it which I studied in biology last year but I would never go near that unless I had to)

So I originally tried to do this to fly so I actually did the spiderman thing as it was the only thing I remembered so I shot something more line vines up to the ceiling and jumped into the lake.

I felt like I was surrounded by an oxygen bubble which was quite disappointing for me as I actually wanted to feel the water. Problem was, I was stuck down there unable to swim. I summoned a friend to come and help me as I did have a bit of luck with that so alls well that ends well.

I will try the uprooting tree thing next time I have the chance (if ever)

Edit: Deleted the whole not believing thing after listening to MoonBeam, just worried due to some of the posts given by others about liars and since I am a new poster and all.

Why won't people believe you? You don't need "evidence". It's all on your word; it's just for fun and practice. (There aren't really valuable prizes! )

Wow Clairity, that was an amazing dream.


Congrats and I've got to seriously try to get this task done. I think it's been 3 months since I've completed a task. Your dream has inspired me.

Thanks Vex.. though I don't have my wings so I don't know if I got credit for it or not.

You can do it.. the month's not over yet!

.

Thanks. I'm going to have a lucid dream for my birthday... and I'm going to complete this task. Which is a couple of days from now.

Walking trees and Spidey swinging for my birthday. What more could a gal ask for?
