    Sunday 24th – Lucid #4 – The Road Trip

    Sunday 24th – Lucid #4 – The Road Trip

    Total sleep: 8 hours 30 minutes
    Daytime Techniques: Reality checks
    Lucid Techniques: DILD, no mantras or anything else before bed. I have started using a Dream Goal Journal in the past couple of days, so that might be helping to get more LD's.
    Recall Techniques: Just the usual DJ
    Fell Asleep: Woke up at 7.30am – no dream. Went back to sleep thinking of having a LD.

    Dream:
    The dream starts off with me jumping from the top of the stairs down to the bottom. I am trying to teleport through the floor, but it doesn't work and I just hit the floor and lay there. Retrying it, I hit the floor again and teleport through into a bus, and then I become Lucid. The bus is stopping and we get off. There is a show happening and we are at a farm. We have to kind of sit behind this line, and I try to sit down but this fat kid’s leg is in the way. I push it so it’s bent at an impossible angle, and I tell him he should have let me sit down in the first place. His dad tells him to behave, and his mum apologizes. A second later, I am climbing back over the people who are sat on rows of haystacks, so that I can get back to the bus.

    Once we are back, we are all sitting down, I turn to Katie who is sat next to me, and we talk about how cool it is to be in a lucid dream together. She also asks everyone else if this is a shared dream. All of the DC’s on the bus seem extremely real, not like the usual ones, so we all agree with her. At this point, we get off the bus again, and we are at the ocean. We swim around for a bit, before deciding to go and look around the island. Peering over the edge of a cliff, we look down to see and enemy base. It is really pixelated when I look through binoculars, but I announce that I have seen this place before. As I continue to look, we see one of our people being put into a cage with a talking dog. The dog doesn’t seem so bad though so we leave him there.

    Again, we all get back on the bus. I start to talk about how if the dream ends soon, everyone should be reminding themselves to do DEILD. I the mention that we might end up forgetting some of the earlier stuff (I actually forgot all the different places that we went to before the show in this dream). Suddenly, someone shouts and we realise that the people from the enemy base are following us.

    “Teleport out of the window into the field!” I yell, whilst running down the aisle. I jump and curl myself into a ball and easily get through the window. I land in the field and roll. The rest of the people did the same and we carried on running down a country road. Behind us, we hear the roar of an engine, and a black car swerves around a corner and starts heading for us. I instantly know that they hear me say jump out of the window so they knew where we were. I whisper to Adam to make his next location the ocean, so we can still stick together.

    The car gets closer and closer, and I finally whisper at Adam to dive through the road because if we’re going into the ocean, this is the best way to do it. We count down to 1, and then dive against the concrete. Before I know it, I’m in the ocean again, but there is something in the water that I want to get away from. It looks like a structure of this rusty metal pipes. I scream and swim away from it, and then I climb onto the land which has grey colored grass.

    As is sit there trying to get my breath back, I look down and realize that the land I am sat on has turned into lasagna. I begin to eat it, but I accidentally knock some of it into the water. A shark with Josh’s face appears and tells me that something bad will happen if I drop any more lasagna in the water. There are a few more awkward moments of me eating lasagna, before I am back on the bus again, and it feels like when credits are rolling down the screen on a movie, but people are still talking. Everyone is thanking each other on the great LD they had today, but as the camera moves to each person, they morph into someone else and become celebrities.

    I was going to DEILD after this, but I had to get up.

    Awake: 8.50am
    Vividness: 9/15
    Awareness: 9/10
    Length: an hour or 2 (with a few time skips so altogether about 30 minutes experienced)
    Emotions: Excited with everyone else dreaming, annoyed at the fat kid and amazed at my teleport powers.
    Dream Signs:
    - Being in a dream about LDing
    - People talking about shared dreams or dreaming all together
    - Jumping through things

    Notes:
    This was really weird. I was definitely lucid in this dream, but it felt like I had no control whatsoever, except for when I was talking on the bus, and the section when I jumped through the wall of the bus and then dived through concrete.

      GOOD JOB!

      Remember that lucid does not equal control. Control is something that takes time. Funny enough, when I was reading it, I was thinking about how much control you have and how random what you did was. LDs can be as random as normal dreams. congrats!

      Thanks Brandon. My new most important goal is to try and get more control. Your Dream Goal Journal thing is actually pretty good by the way. I like how it sort of makes you plan out how often you will LD, therefore you will actually have them more often.

      Yep! I love it! Control is a pretty good goal. I always have quite a bit, but I can never think of the goal I want. My last few LDs I have been looking for a companion, and while that is a goal of mine, I have like 3 others before it. It is just the one that pops in my head when lucid.

      Also. Thanks about the DJ. I am happy that it helps.

      I know! But control is my main goal, even though I have other things like find the HQ or speak to my subconscious or whatever, because I figured I would actually need some degree of control to be able to do any of that XD Once I have got the control, I can then do whichever other goal I remember.

      Plus, this LD means I've had 2 LDs in a row, YAY!!!

      Great dream, MysticalDipshit! You should be really proud of that length -- 30 minutes is outstanding. Your recall of the experience is really up there as well. These long ones can sometimes be a little hard to gather up after the fact but it looks like it held together for you very nicely.

      The control will come. One thing that helps is having some simple, definitive goals that are on your mind before bed and during your WBTB. Some of the old classics like flight or conjuring are great. Even something as simple as studying your hands will begin to put you in control of the action that's going on around you. One of those plus one or two more complex goals (like finding the HQ, talking to your subC or performing a Task of the Month) should help put you in the mindset that you can and will take control of what happens in your dream. (And it is your dream!)

      And 2 in a row... that's awesome! Big congratulations on that! Keep up the good work.

      It was probably less than 30 minutes considering my judgment of time is awful XD

      Heh heh, I have this issue in waking life. When I'm sitting in a meeting and I perceive that it's been 30 minutes, it's usually more like 8.

      But yeah, the perception of time is a funny thing in dreams. The reality is that none of us are really ever sure. What matters, though, is that you have the experience of at least 30 continuous minutes of serious lucid dream content. That's quite an accomplishment.
