Lucid Time!

I was with S. Everything was black and white like an old movie. We were in some kind of warehouse, where there were alot of large square wooden crates. We were talking about dreams, and I quite quickly came to the realization that I was dreaming.
I did a Nose pinch RC to confirm that I was in fact dreaming. I actually did two. (I have grown accustomed to doing two Nose Pinch RCs in real life whenever I check if I'm dreaming. It never hurts to double check.)
I may have lost lucidity rather quickly though. Because me and S decided to participate in some kind of competition. That or, this segment of the dream took place before we were in the warehouse and I became lucid.
When we came outside, we seemed to be in some kind of industrial/shipping port area. There were two long identical docks. They were similar down to the arrangements of the boxes on them. This competition was between me and S, and we were seeing who could jump/climb over the boxes on our separate docks and get to the end first.
The rules of the competition were completely explained to me. I'm not entirely sure how. They just sort of came into my head.
I had a false awakening.
I was in a hospital room. It was quite large, and the walls were painted a tawny brown color. There was a young nurse, and a doctor, who looked a little like my dad. There was a couch on the far side of the room, and a large potted palm tree.
The nurse explained that I had been knocked out in an accident several months ago, and while I was out they had conducted three surgeries on me. One had removed my hip bone. The second had realigned my teeth, and the third was a brain surgery. The nurse proceeded to tell me that because of the brain surgery, I might have some memory loss.
I realized that I couldn't feel my legs. I tried to move them, but instead I would just thrust in my lower stomach and move my hips up a little. And this was the worst pain I've ever felt in a dream. Not only did my hips hurt, but my legs were completely immobile. I tried to move my legs a couple different times, but each time, I was met with this pain.
The doctor handed me some before and after X rays, trying to explain to me that my hip bone had been removed, and anything below my waistline was no good anymore.
This isn't right... I'm still dreaming!
Almost immediately, I stand up on the hospital bed, and push my hands out to either side, causing the entire floor of the hospital to explode. As soon as I did that, the dream lost all clarity, then the clarity returned, but the dream had changed.
I was still on the destroyed hospital. But everything was overgrown and rusted, as though many years had passed. The damage to the hospital was still there.
I began to regain lucidity. One of the steel beams that the hospital was constructed out of had been bent out overhanging the outside wall of the building when I destroyed the top of it. It was bent in a narrow V shape with both ends still connected to the structure. But the inside of the bent beam was filled with dirt and grasses and wildflowers had grown on it. The beam had rusted into a bright red color.
I stood out on the very point. I did a nose pinch RC once more, I was ready to jump off into the area around me. The area was completely overgrown, and many of the buildings in the nearby city were partially destroyed and overgrown with plants.
A dream character approached me and distracted me. He looked sort of like me, but younger and with shorter hair. His nose looked unusual with one large nostril.
He began blowing air out of his nose, causing the nostril to expand. After each breath, his nostril would shrink, but not back to its original size. With each breath, the nostril got bigger until it took up most of his face. It may sound almost humorous, but in the way the dream portrayed it, it was actually quite disgusting. I lost lucidity and woke up.

I was with my mom in my parent's bedroom. My mom showed me this beverage additive that she had found. It was this lime flavored thing that you could add to any drink and it would give it a very strong, sort of sour taste to the drink.
She then proceeded to tell me that it had a lot of alcohol in it, and that you could get drunk from having too much of it, but for some reason it was ok to give the drink to people under 21. (I'm 17.)
She then proceeded to let me try some. I had one sip and "got drunk" (Or atleast my brain's interpretation of what being drunk must be like, because, again, i'm 17, and haven't had alcohol before.)where I started feeling really woozy and I was talking gibberish without being able to control myself. My recall cuts out.

I was with either D or A. I can't remember either. We were staying at some resort hotel at a tropical destination, because I remember there being many palm trees and a large, sandy beach.
Now we were originally walking down the hotel stairs to find my parents in the lobby or something, but we soon discovered that the stairs led down into basement levels below ground.
We decided to see how far underground the hotel actually went. I think it was at-least two or three levels. The bottom level was an underground casino.

Something about sleeping over at a large log cabin with a bunch of friends. We were all sleeping on the floor or on couches. I had false awoken in the middle of the night.

I was being told some story about an alien invasion, while being relayed all of this imagery of the planet earth. I think I remember being told that the year was 2500.
Then he said we were going to "take a closer look". We fell in and were now looking at a city. I can recall that everything mostly looked the same as a city that would be built today. But we flew over a small mountain range and saw a much larger city.
Even though the city was from the future, most of the buildings looked like more modern buildings built today. There were no domes or really incredible futuristic buildings like some people would imagine. After a few minutes, I slowly began to notice that there were some futuristic buildings among the skyline.
We flew down over next to one of them. Despite being futuristic looking, it was much smaller than the buildings next to it.
There was a billboard on the side. It read "The Rebel Building Series: Providing clean energy for the city!" There were images of all the different types of futuristic style buildings on the billboard. There were only a couple different "Models" if these buildings, five or six I believe.
After that, we flew over an industrial district, and then I noticed two pieces of recognizable architecture. The Willis tower and the Dubai tower were right next to one another.
I landed. I was in my own body now.I immediately did a nose-pinch reality check and realized that I was dreaming.
When I was not paying attention, the dream scene changed to a sort of nightclub restaurant, except there was no neon lights or anything, it was very dark. The Dubai tower and the Willis tower had shrank down to about ten feet tall, and were just large models on display in the middle of the restaurant.
I decided I wanted to do some flying.
"Flight on!" I commanded.
Nothing.
"Flight on!" I tried again, saying the command a little louder. Nothing.
I held up one hand.
"Booster flames?"
A little poof of smoke came out of my hand. It's common for this form of dream control to fail.
Some other dream characters came in and were standing around me. A male DC came down, he was flying. He told me that this would be a simple challenge between dreamers; a race. And only the winner was allowed to keep their dream control powers.
The race would go around both of the model skyscrapers, so the entire course was very short. The male DC, who seemed to have some kind of dream control at his disposal, and he used it to put a fence down to guide the race.
He told us to start, and I took off running. A huge group of people ran ahead of me, but they leaped over the fence about halfway through the race, I think they had gone to meet with family. I thought I would win, but when I turned back around and looked toward the finish line, I saw three dream characters that were nearly at the finish line.
I still knew I was dreaming, but my dream control seemed weakened somehow. I decided to use a cheat anyway.
"Super Speed!" I yelled.
Instead of me speeding up, everyone around me slowed down, and was moving at about 1/4 speed. I ran past all of the other dream characters and finished first.
After the race, everyone seemed to have left except me, and two other DCs. One was a male by the looks of it, he was in a dark corner and the other was my dream guide, a girl named Lia.
For those of you who don't regularly read my DJ, I encounter my dream guide A LOT. I've had a long list of questions for her, and I tried to remember some of them.
The environment began to change, and I was shuddering. I was having difficulty focusing on what I wanted to say.
"Do you remember my first lucid dream, or atleast the first lucid dream in my Dream Journal, where I was at the school, and you rescued me and told me I was dreaming? Why can you not always do that?"
The dream was becoming very unstable. We were now in some neighborhood, outdoors in the daytime, the background was blurry and I could tell the dream was losing stability. I tried to rub my hands together and save the dream. It wasn't enough. I woke up before I could get an answer.

On a side note, I want to start my dream artwork page soon. I just need to get a good look at myself for a new cover photo.

I was in an errie, semi lucid (but we'll just say I wasn't really lucid here.) state and the dream was very unstable. I was following some map to the construction site for my dream base. What I can remember about the map was it was leading me to where I had already built my base, but I never remembered doing it.
I was getting close to the site for my dream base. The entire area was near the ocean, and the path that we followed took us along the beach sometimes. Further away from the water, there was some hilly terrain, dotted with houses and trees, but mostly just covered in grass.
I cut through a shopping center, and got a little confused with my map, but figured it out. As I walked out the door into the open area that was supposedly the site for my base, I did a nose plug RC, and shouted "I'm dreaming." My lucidity got a lot clearer at this point.
I noticed my voice was very scratchy and weak. I yelled again. "Clarity now!" A weak wave of clarity spread through the area.
I didn't like the way my voice sounded, so I commanded "Voice: Change" I tried to speak agian, and my voice was very high pitched and fast. "Voice: Normal" I spoke some more out loud and my voice sounded pretty much the same as it does in real life.
I had followed the map to my location, a small grassy knoll in the middle of a parking lot. It didn't bother me, I knew that I could always move my base later.
Next I had to remember what I wanted to create. I had done some sketches (IRL) and had a good idea of what I wanted. A one story circular concrete building with one glass door. It theory it was very small.
I gestured up, with that image in my mind. The base looked how I had imagined it, only there were about 8 stories. I could see through the window that each story had a different functionality. (Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc.) No! That's way too hard to remember! This needs to be as simple as possible. I decided to try again.
I gestured to pick the tower up, then proceeded to throw the entire thing into the ocean with my psychic powers. (I probably should have just cut off all the upper stories)
At some point, a dream character came along, and asked me what I was doing. I explained that I was making a dream base, because the idea was it would tell my subconscious that I want to return to my lucid dreams, and therefore I will have more of them.
I realized that my work area was actually very small. Probably about 20 feet by 80 feet. I pushed the parking lots farther apart, and wound up with a larger, sort of triangle shaped piece of land.
The land seemed hilly. I completely lost sight of my goal at this point. I gestured up, and created an unnaturally steep hill. "Level Terrain" I commanded. I did a gesture with my palms down and my hands flat. The central area of the land, including the hill I had just made sank back into the ground, and the ground was mostly level.
I commanded to level again, hoping it would completely level the land, but it only leveled the center. Good enough. I remembered that I was working on my dream base. "Now create a concrete circle!"
I woke up.

I was walking to school, with S. We were taking a very long time; we knew that we were going to be one hour late for school, but for some reason we didn't care and just continued talking to one another about a whole range of topics. I can't say I remember what, but they were very deep and personal subjects, I remember that.
We began walking towards the school. My school was, for some reason a huge cylindrical building. Kind of modern, with a shallow, domed roof. The school was built in a small valley surrounded on either side by small mountains covered in tropical forests. There were some other buildings and roads scattered about, but for the most part, the area was pretty rural.
I should also note that the sky was bright orange, and I think there were binary suns.
We got to the school, and I lost track of S, but almost immediately ran into C. She told me that she needed a ride to her tech school class, and wanted to know if I would be willing to call my parents to have them come pick her up.

My recall cuts out, but the next thing I knew, I knew this was a dream. I was still in the valley, and I could still see the school. But I was at a much different angle, and could see an ocean now. My mother was there, and we were on top of one of the mountains. There was a table set up with this huge feast laid out.
We talked for a minute or two, and I avoided eating any of the food or stabilizing the dream. (Not stabilizing was my mistake. Ooops.)
I decided to try and find my dream guide; Lia. I know she can appear as any female DC. So I ask my mom if she is posing as my dream guide. She says no.
I get up and begin walking around. There is a large paved plaza behind us, with gaps in the pavement where palm trees are growing. And as soon as I begin my search, dream characters begin FLOODING the area.
I see someone who looks like my dream guide, but as I come closer, I realize that he is in fact a young man. Nope. I look for another dream character. I see another potential, but as they get closer, he too appears to be a young man.
He walks past me, and I get a new idea. I think that maybe if I want to get my dream guide to appear, I can change one of these characters into my dream guide. I hold up my hand and he begins to change. He becomes a girl that looks sort of like my guide, about her age and height, but with more pale skin and lighter colored hair.
The next thing I notice is her eyes. She has bright green eyes. She turns toward me and opens her mouth really big.
I lose lucidity as I am taken out of my body. This alien parasite comes out of the girl's mouth and attacks me.
The feel changes to being like a nature show, and a man's voice is explaining to me how the parasite works. He says that it has three appendages that is uses to spray acid on the victim. It then eats the victim.
I woke up around here.

Fragment

Something to do with my hair changing. My hair (that is normally a brown color was now black and blonde. The black and blonde hairs mixed in sort of a spiral pattern and my hair was fairly long.

Waking side notes:

I'm on vacation right now, and the internet out here is REALLY slow. I'm not sure how this vacation is going to affect my recall. But I want to try to have a couple lucids between now and then, maybe i can finally build my dream base.

It was a fairly vivid dream involving me and some of my friends. A, S and H. We had all gotten together at some hotel and were working on a cartoon.
S was doing the animation. I think he was working in flash on his laptop. I was drawing sketches. A and H were working on doing voice recordings for the cartoon.
We proceeded to watch our cartoon. I don't want to go into detail about the jokes because they were sexual, racist, etc, and I don't want to offend anybody. But some of them were actually pretty funny. But all of my friends and I were the main characters in the cartoon.

First time recalling fragments since my last lucid dream. I still have no idea what caused my dream recall to completely fail. Nevertheless, its seems to have come back.

So I had a couple fragments, but most of them don't really seem to mean much. They are really blurry, but I do remember them.

The Cat-Killing Demon.

So in my household, we have three cats. (In real life) Cash, an overweight cat with white and black fur. He is the oldest of our cats, I think he is seven or eight. Alana, who is about four years old has dark tabby markings. And Ti, who is less than a year old has a kind of dark spotted fur coat. All of these cats from my house were in this dream, as well as this new cat. (Specific to the dream, I've never seen this cat in real life.) I think it was a female with a sort of pale orange coat.
And the new orange cat had gotten its head cut off and we were looking at the scene. I wasn't really disturbed by it for some reason. This veterinarian came over and told me that there are sometimes these spirits that come into people's houses and kill people's cats by cutting off their heads.
He somehow reattached the orange cats' head and said that the cat would live anywhere from a few more hours to a few more months before it died.

Now one random note for this dream. The fact that I wasn't disturbed by this otherwise gruesome scene. I knew that this wasn't something right about it. Perhaps I was just a little bit lucid in this dream, enough to know that it wasn't real.

Fragment

I was playing the first world in the first pikmin game. The only thing different was that there was snow everywhere and all of the plants were dead.

Fragment

Something about me playing on a minecraft server. I was looking for a place to build, but people had placed signs everywhere saying that they had claimed land.

Fragment

Somebody was teaching me about some ancient tribe and relaying beautiful imagery of the tribe migrating through a mountain range that was covered in forests.

Fragment

Riding a huge cargo elevator down a circular concrete shaft.

I am thinking of arranging some goals for myself. I want to get into a more regular routine of lucid dreaming, make it more of a priority. I want to start lucid dreaming more often, perhaps once or twice a week, having a good lucid dream.
I will lay out some more specific goals in the days to come, but I know that I want to raise my skills.. I also want to do some more organized work with WILDs.

No dream recall the last couple days, since my last lucid dream. I just wanted to check in to keep the habit of posting.

I was walking down a paved path or sidewalk in some kind of rural or suburban area. I can remember the scene very vividly. (I just woke up, and am now writing about this.)
The path ran along a thin strip of grass and vegetation before turning left and heading up a hill that was lacking vegetation. Also the part of the path that was heading up the hill was not paved, it was just gravel.
There were houses all around and there seemed to be no way to get into the yards. All of the yards had high wooden fences.
I should also note the weather. There were a lot of dark clouds, as though there might have been a storm.
So, I was making my way down that path in said setting when BAM, get lucid out of nowhere. Just when I do, I see someone running down the pathway behind me.
She was a girl, perhaps 14 or 15 years old with a black jacket and these big round glasses. She had black hair and pale, almost albino skin. My first thought was that she was my dream guide, so I asked her.
"Are you Lia?"
"No."
After I asked her this, she began preforming this unusual trick where she would spin and sink into the ground, then a few seconds later reemerge somewhere else.
I decided to do an intelligence test on her, (knowing that my dream characters can be hilariously stupid.)
"What color are you wearing?"
"I am wearing some green and blue, and you are sporting some red." I looked at my own sleeve to see that it was red as she said that. I had noticed her coat had disappeared and she was now wearing a blue and green t-shirt.
The girl continued doing the spin and teleport trick, and one time, I could somehow sense that she would try to emerge behind me and try to scare me.
I gracefully took a few steps forward and turned around, in less than half a second. She tunneled up right behind where I had been standing, and stretched out her arms while saying "boo!"
I wasn't scared or surprised, because somehow I had sensed that before it had happened.
I lost intrest in the dream character and focused on the unusually vivid dream. There was a cold breeze coming from the top of the gravel hill. I just had all of these thoughts, all at once about how unusual this dream seemed. Now I've had a couple times where I've amped up the vividness of dreams to a point like this using unnecessarily amounts of stabilization, but this time, it was natural.
I noticed my legs felt cold. I was probably wearing shorts. It seemed like summertime. I looked once more at the storm cloud. I was just blown away by the detail, the realism, and the perfect shade of blue-gray that the cloud was.
Then, suddenly, the dream started losing clarity really fast. But whatever was making the dream lose clarity had a lot of stability to get through, so in that time, I grabbed some gravel from the path and held it in both hands.
I started to see my room through the parts of the dream that had faded, and I thought I was waking up, when really, I was having an FA. (Ok, and FA into your own bedroom when lucid dreaming, that is just unfair.) I completely False awoke into my bedroom, except I still had the gravel in my hand, and the gravel still felt very vivid and realistic. I think I was still lucid at this point, but had thought I had woken up.
I woke up for real only moments after false awakening into my room. Did a nose-plug RC just to be sure.

I can't remember many of the details, but I know that my family was there. We were on-board some train with unusually large space inside the train cars. My dad was doing something with alot of baggage that she had brought on-board.
Then me and my mother climbed up onto the roof of the train and saw another train coming the other way. We started to run to the back end of the train hoping to avoid the wreck, but somehow the trains never collided. I think they were on two separate rails.

So it had something to do with this business that I had started. I would collect sticks and things from the woods and use them to make very basic bows and arrows. I would then sell them to people as a business to make money.
The bows were really poorly made, but they seemed to work really well. I had set up a bunch of targets in the yard so people could try them out before they bought them.
Then some business manager guy came along in a black suit. He told me that I should start hiring workers and making more arrows because people kept running out.

I was watching some TV show about conspiracies or something. They were talking about this small group of people that owned a well on top of a small mountain, somewhere in northern Michigan.
The well looked like an oil well because there was this tall steel structure, like an old-fashioned oil well. There was also a building right next to the structure to control the drilling process.
They were building on an expansion to the small building next to the well.
The conspiracy that they were talking about was that someone seemed to be siphoning off water from their main line. (The main water line from their well led down the mountain and into a town.)
They figured out almost immediately that someone had built onto their water line so that the new expansion to the building would be reliant on the water from the well that they ran. There was this pipe running through the wall that split into three pipes.
It was around this time, that I went from watching to being engaged in the dream. I was able to turn the valve on one of the small pipes inside the new part of the building. Sure enough, water came out. I tried drinking it because I wanted to see if it tasted like minerals. It was surprisingly pure.
Then, a bunch of other people showed up. Apparently they were having a party for the daughter of the people that owned the well. Their daughter, or so I was told, was trying out to be an Olympic swimmer. But she had not been picked to go to the Olympics.
But her family had wanted to show that they were proud of her. So they threw a part and had a cake and some snacks. They also had a mannequin displaying the swimsuit that she would've worn had she gone to the Olympics.
I talked with some of the people at the party. Most of them didn't seem to have much to say until I started talking to the daughter, the person who had wanted to be an Olympic swimmer. I think she was about 20 with short black hair. She seemed really nice, but as soon as we began talking, I woke up.

So I had some fragment involving the game Borderlands 2. Not sure if I was playing it or warped into the game whereas I was actually experiencing things as the character would in the game, or just dreaming about playing it. (Sometimes when I dream about video games, I get warped into the game and experience things as the character would.)
I was basically in this concrete alleyway with chain link fences set up everywhere. There were various enemies from the game attacking me, and I was progressively switching out weapons experimenting and trying to figure out what was the most powerful. Eventually, I fought my way out into a more natural looking area and was climbing up this hill covered in forest.
The hill seemed to be getting progressively steeper as I climbed up and there was no path. Eventually I began sliding and the soil on the hill wasn't giving me any traction, so I couldn't reach the top. I tried grabbing onto some of the tree roots (because the hill was covered in a dense forest) but it did not really seem to help.

I was doing something with my teacher from my tech school. He was giving me an art lesson and told me that he was drawing the face of his sister with a marker. (I don't think he has a sister in real life though.) Also, we were in the kitchen dining area of my own house, that was kind of weird.
He told me that I had to draw exactly what he drew, and that I was not allowed to lift my maker off the page, nor was I allowed to look at my page. He started drawing, and I tried to follow him as best I could while abiding by the rules.
When we had finished, he told me to look at the face I had drawn. It was surprisingly correct given the challenge in drawing it. The nose looked large and distorted, and the face looked very masculine. (Keeping in mind we were drawing a female.)
His face looked somewhat distorted. The one that he had drawn has large poofy lips and ears. In both of our drawings the hair looked exceptionally bad.

I had some dream that my dad had picked me up from school. He picked me up in this full size green van that my family owned when I was a kid.
Apparently he wanted to have some kind of father-son bonding experience with me, because he said that we were going to the corner store to get some junk food. Then we were going on a father son fishing and camping trip.
We drove to a corner store that I was not familiar with. The building was a small strip of stores with this kind of spanish style construction, the kind with stucco walls ceramic roofing tiles that are the color of plant pots.
But my dad drove the van in through the double doors and pulled into the shop. The shop was just big enough for the van to fit inside without hitting any of the shelves. The store clerk, who was a young woman, got really angry with my dad for driving his van into the store.
My dad reached out of the window and into the refrigerator and took a bottle of Gatorade. He wrote the word "ID" on it in black sharpee. He grabbed another one, a different flavor, and wrote the word "EGO" on it. I was expecting him to take a third bottle and write "SUPEREGO" but rather I woke up from the dream at that point.

I do not understand what any of my dreams mean right now. Its just a blur.

I was with C. We were walking through a small town. The setting was unfarmiliar, and the whole town was decorated with Christmas lights and trees, as though people were getting ready for the holidays.
I was talking with C, and telling him about Borderlands 2. I was trying to explain to him the basic story of the game and how the game generates guns, etc etc.
We had been walking and talking for awhile when we came into some kind of park in the center of town. In the center of the park was a large mound of sand. There were young children all over the mound working. It looked as though they were trying to convert the entire mound into one giant sand castle.
I walked around the mound, looking for a way to get onto the top. All around I noticed the walls and towers of the sand castle the children were building. They were so perfectly built. I had thought about going and kicking them down but I didn't want to ruin all their hard work.

I was in a computer lab, I think that it was in a middle school somewhere. The lab had a really high ceiling, white walls and incandescent lights. There was a marker board on the opposite wall, leading me to believe that it was a middle school.
I can't remember what exactly was going on, but I knew that i was some kind of outcast, I wasn't really important to the situation.
I booted up my computer and began looking at applications on it. There wasn't much. Just Firefox, Google chrome, and some Microsoft office programs.
Someone had told me to just sit and be patient, and that I wasn't allowed to download any games or anything onto the computer. But after I had been sitting there for awhile, I got very bored, and downloaded Minecraft onto the computer.
When I started playing Minecraft, I spawned in some kind of swamp or bog area. There were alot of trees. There were also some objects that were never present in the actual game, like these thinner types of trees that were not a whole block thick.
I got "sucked into" the game and was given an axe. Although minecraft continued to look normal, the axe I had was very realistic, and I used it to cut down some of the trees as I explored the area.
I woke up not long after I had began exploring Minecraft.
