Dream
SM and I were walking in the parking lot of a mall. We were headed to the movies to see The Desolation of Smaug. I had the impression that the movie wasn't playing at one theater, so we were walking to the other theater.

I recall sitting in the theater, watching a movie, but it seemed like a really short time had passed before we were standing out in front of another theater waiting to buy tickets for another movie. Ahead of us were two older couples and they were trying to buy tickets for Lord of the Rings. One of the older ladies had mentioned that she wanted to see The Desolation of Smaug instead, but it wasn't playing at the theater they were at.

I told her we had just seen it and she asked me where, but I couldn't remember. I took out my cell phone and tried to look for where it was playing near where we were, but either the app kept shutting down or I couldn't read the text or the data was coming in to slowly. I kept trying and trying to give her the information, but it just wasn't working. SM was getting frustrated with me and eventually disappeared for a while. But I kept trying for what felt like hours.

At some point, I walked over to some benches where I saw SM laying down on one of them. SM started yelling at me about some old issue we've had in the past and it made me really angry; so I walked away.

kinda too many "parts" to count/talkabout = but .. i love that i can't truly die...

i am a dragon.. but i feel all the human senses vividly..

when i go on airplanes they ALWAYS crash.. but i don't die.. but i experience the fully impact

the sickening jolt of the impact [#death] wakes me sometimes but not always

also.. sometimes i float off the earth.. it feels weird..

does anyone else float off the atmosphere? or feel like you can't stay attached to the ground???


*feels like a weirdo*


mewoofffff [thats the sound a dragon makes]

Fragment: High School. I am at my high school getting ready to leave.

Somebody is introducing me to this new children's show. The show is called 'David the Nightmare Hunter' and it follows the adventures of this boy named David (duh) with purple eyes and white hair goes through classic high school drama like bullies and getting a girlfriend and what-not. But he was also born with this special power, that allows him to detect nightmares.
In the show 'Nightmares' are essentially demons that can disguise themselves as anyone. They will attempt to preform evil deeds as that person. David has to find and expose these people and battle their true form. When a nightmare enters their true form they become a large black monster, each one with unique powers and body parts. (For example, some nightmare monsters may look like bats or gargoyles with wings. Others may be more brute like, resembling a large ape or human with horns, you get the idea.) In order to permanently kill nightmares, one must hold up a dreamcatcher to them and recite some magic words. The nightmare then gets sucked into the dreamcatcher.
This sounds like a really cool premise for a show, but it seems to be ripping off Danny Phantom. Even the animation style was somewhat similar.
So anyways, the episode we were watching was about David venturing into an abandoned mansion where he thought a nightmare was hiding. It was something of a haunted house set up. I can recall a scene where thunder cracked outside and he hid behind a grandfather clock. David was a cowardly character, but he was tasked with fighting nightmares, constantly forcing him to be brave, adding a dimension of drama to the show. Somebody was watching the show with me and they explained to me that this was a 'class 1' nightmare, as in the smallest and least threatening.
I don't recall the battle scene all to well. The nightmare emerged from some kind of book, and looked like a small dragon. David was initially frightened by the appearance, but upon realizing the nightmare was small he took out his dreamcatcher and banished it.
The show skips to the next day at school. We see David with his two friends, god help me for their names. He had a pseudo girlfriend who wore a hoodie and had a robotic arm, and strange friend who wore a black tee-shirt with a white gear graphic on it and had long orange hair.
Then came an interesting character. Her name was never mentioned but she looked exactly like Manei, my dream guide. I couldn't help but exclaim this to the other person watching the cartoon with me. Of course he was confused. So I had to explain to him that I practice this thing called lucid dreaming and that some dreamers meet what’s called a dream guide. And that character looks exactly like her.
But it gets even better. The Manei impersonation went back to talk to her friends. One of her friends looked looked something like Marcus, but redesigned to be high school age. But it was defiantly a Marcus design. And I guess the other character was supposed to be a representation of me. He looked strange, one eye was blue-green, and the other one was bright orange, and he wore a dark blue scarf.
Okay, there is no way that this show is a legit thing. How does somebody copy two characters so perfectly out of my dream journal?! Who created this show?! The person sitting next to me just looked confused.

I woke up.

Update: This dream was the inspiration for my new avatar.

8am

non-lucid

At a pet store with my husband. We came across this screen that lets you interact with a parrot. I would then find the actual parrot is behind the right corner of the shelf the screen is on.

I get separated from my husband and then catch up with him at the aquariums. This is a recoccuring dream setting. Inside a long, horizontal tank we see mini tanks for mini fish, like a mini clown fish. We discuss getting one. I also see normal sized clown fish inside the tank. We walk to the other side of the tank and come across the shark tanks. I avoid looking and run when it comes to the great whites. I wonder what would happen if the tanks broke.

We leave through this door that leads to an elevator. Another guy is also there. It starts lowering and then I realize we're lowering into the great white tank.

lucid

I feel my paralyzed body and debate changing the scene and trying to accomplish my dream plan of going to Japan. But I know I have to get up for work since I've slept in, so I choose to wake up.

Reflections: I knew I could lucid dream, I just didn't have enough time unfortunately. But I think this is a great improvement. I actually had choice and was calm once finding out I was paralyzed. Usually when paralysis enters in, I try to wake myself up right away.

I did it! My fist LD since joining the forum 5 days ago. I'm self employed and for the last 5 weeks I've been on a job that requires me starting on the job site at 6 am. So I've been getting up at 4 am and since I don't usually go to be until 10:30, well that's not the best conditions for lucid dreaming. But last night I was unusually tied and I went to be at 8:30.

I woke up at 2:30 am, got a drink of water, realized I was quite rested and thought I might just be able to lucid dream. I tried WILDs without success, drifted in and out of dreams, had a short semi lucid dream that I'm not going to bother to recount. I new it must be getting close to time to get up and then I had this dream

I was at a construction site (not the site I'm working on). My brother was there and another guy. We got into a huge freight elevator and were trying to return the the floor for our job but this elevator had all these temporary buttons, the labels of which didn't make any sense. We had tried a few floors that were wrong but finally the door opens and I see it's our floor but my brother is messing around with something in the elevator and the door closes. I"m trying to find the door open button and frustrated because these stupid buttons don't make any sense. I go over to my brother and say quickly which button opens the door before it gets called to another floor! And then it hits me, THIS MUST BE A DREAM!

My fist thought is I need to test to confirm that I'm dreaming. I think of flipping a coin. (I've actually never heard of that being a dream test), I check my pockets but I don't have any coins. Then I think I'll run head long into and through the door that will prove it!. But then I think maybe not the best idea if I was wrong. I walk up to the door and now there is a glass wall to the right of the doors. I"m excited because now I can try doing one of my favorite things to do in LDs, That is to push my hands through glass. I walk up the glass and push my hand against it. And yep sure enough it pushes through!

Now the coolest thing about pushing through glass as opposed to other solid objects in LDs is that glass acts kind of like thick taffy. (Other dreamers have had this same experience) It bends and stretches a bit, when you pull out or push through all the way it sort of sticks to you and stretches out. And this was really thick glass which made it extra cool.

I was pushing both hands in and pulling and moving my hands around, really getting into it. I realized my dream attention was very strong. I remembered that I had been planing on practicing stabilizing the dream ( a waking intention I've been repeating) and that touching objects was one way of doing it. I focused even more on the glass and the tactical feel. I felt the dream and lucidity was very stable..... AND THEN MY ALARM WENT OFF!!!

Damm... Oh well, I am very happy to have had the dream. Now I got to get to work.... Try again tonight!

00:00 Thursday 2014-06-26 back in the city

00:32 bedtime, ugh late! Very tired remee on, about 80% brightness selected

dreams during the night, quite tired, too lazy to record, they're lost, alas.

remee goes off, I'm already awake I think, I reset it to nap mode, go back to sleep

08:47

+ I'm wandering the halls of a motel looking for my room. I enter a room and find it's occupied (the guy's in the shower?) so I quickly leave. Enter another room, there are a lot of people staying here by the look of it, I see a couch improvised into a bed. Walking and overhear a woman talking, saying "the banquets are always served outside."

+ (DILD #43 but who's counting) I'm standing observing a scene: a (lit?) lightbulb standing atop a tall pole set against a daytime bright clear blue sky, I'm looking up at the lightbulb for about 30 seconds contemplating this scene, it's several feet above my head. I think that I'm looking at the only photograph I have of my former home, which is located behind me across the street. I turn around and I find that I'm actually *inside* the scene of the photograph, I see my former home across the street. I start walking towards the house and realize I must be dreaming. I have no idea how I got here, but I'm obviously dreaming. I don't even do a RC for confirmation. It is bright daylight and a pure powder blue cloudless sky. I examine my house, it's not quite right, its shape morphs a bit before my eyes. I reach the sidewalk in front of my house and turn left and head to the street corner. I look to the right and see my house and the neighbor house on the corner, and while I'm observing them I see a detail transformation occur right before my eyes, like a Star Wars-style scene "wipe" from left to right, where the scene stays the same but new detail is added to the houses: lots of lights and decorations are now adorning the fronts of the houses.

Spoiler for 18+:

I reach the corner and reach down to do my signature "equipment check": it's normal looking and not dream-super-sized, and feels a bit oily like it's lubricated. I spend no more attention on it.

I reach behind my back to summon a cute girl DC. I bring my hand around and no one's there, but right away a female DC walks on to the corner, entering the scene. I go for her and hold her by the shoulders and lead her with me back up the street to my house. I want to find a private location for us.

I lead her to the threshold of my house, the front door. While we're entering inside, I look down to the ground and see granules of dirt, everything is fully detailed, the textures of the house and plants and everything seems entirely lifelike.

We enter the house, I hear a radio playing, I reach for the controls and hit a button, turning it off. I lead us towards the bedroom.

Spoiler for 18+:

Somewhere along the way I do a double-handed squeeze of her breasts from outside her clothing. Mostly I just feel a sort of lumpy industrial-strength bra that seems to be armor-plated .

We reach the master bedroom. I see my wife in the master bathroom (wearing a purple top?), she doesn't notice us, I quickly turn us around and head for the door to the house. We're outside and walking by the garage, I glance in and see my wife again (wearing a different colored top, orange?), we walk farther down the street, I think this is sort of ridiculous walking around trying to find a private spot, I could simply will any distracting DCs away, but we keep walking.

I feel we're behind the cover of some trees now so I stop us and she faces me, I kiss her several times, in between a few kisses (they were *nice*) I ask her if she wants to walk around and explore. Things seem stable so I kiss her some more. I have a close up view of her face, it's very vivid and realistic, she had short brown hair and beautiful brown eyes, looking deeply into mine. During some more kissing the dream ends.

While waking memory and self-awareness were fairly low (witness my desire to physically move for privacy and to avoid DC wife), the scenery and the experience were ulta-realistic and incredibly vivid.

The Joker

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I´m in an old school i dont recognize. I go outside and see a street. The school is pretty dark and made out of dark bricks. I see a near roof and decide to climb up there. I use a rain gutter to get up there. As i explore the roof a narrator voice tells me the joker has arrived. I climb down and there are already a couple guys fighting him. I shoot a gun at him but miss. He then shoots at me and i lay down on the ground and play dead. I´m really scared but at the same time i kinda know that I´m safe. My family comes and thinks I´m dead but i explain my playing dead. I´m back on the roof circled by a group of bad guys with all kinds of weapons. I go right for the first one and punch him in the face. I take his RPG and begin firing at the other ones. Sadly nothing really happens and they only fly around in the air after getting hit. Apparently I´m also really bad at aiming with such a weapon . So when i realize i cant kil them i decide to talk to them. Turns out they´re not so bad after all. From time to time in the conversation i try to murder them by firing right infront of their feet but they just grin stupidly.
I climb down the pipe and go to the other group, nobody´s fighting anymore. I´m confused and look for the Joker. I find him standing next to us with a Joker mask on. I pull down his mask to reveal the same thing just for real now. I grab him from behind when he try´s to run, grab his head and attempt an epic neck snap but nothing really happens so i give up. The Joker seems dead now. Everything looks good now I´m pleased and i go talk to the remaining people who just started a mouth watering BBQ.

Always a black Void and no dreams. Hadn't had a dream since about 5 years ago. :/

Last night bed 11pm - 7am

Got up for a WBTB. Had breakfast, no coffee. Closed the window and curtains, made my sofa and made sure cats are asleep before starting. Went to sofa at 8. My cat ofc came and jumped on me and sat and purred on mychest for about 10 min, while I was doing the "ascending breath" relaxation.

Then he jumped off and I was concentrating on watching the back of my eyelids with mantra "next time I'm dreaming I look at my hands and realize I'm dreaming".

I suddenly realized I could be dreaming already and looking at hands confirmed, to my surprise.

I actually think this was a WILD with subsequent DEILDs. But there was not a single transition

Everytime when I thought I lost lucidity, I told myself "ok, I'll just wait here till I'm lucid again", but since the dream was still there, everytime I thought that, I realized "wait a minute, I'm still here and lucid".

I did lots of walking through doors. Normally I don't like doors, because I don't know where they lead. But I have read lots of people saying, that they can lead to awesome places. So I consciously told myself to be opening and going through doors, that it's a good thing and I actually got myself excited in anticipation of an unknown cool place behind door.

Many doors lead to correct room after the room I was in. It always surprised me. One lead after a room, to hallway, to in front of my building in NZ.

When I desired something else, there were some unknown places, and last one was a huge, dark, very industrial room. I was a bit scared, but also excited.

When I realized I didn't have a single transition, I decided to make me one. Pushed my head down to invoke the falling backwards feeling. I started falling backwards, but gently came back, when i stopped applying pressure. Tried a few times, coz I just love that sensation.

Once I came to in a world, and when I looked up, there was a huge planet hanging overhead. I recognized it as Earth, and Italy was right there in the middle. I got so happy, that I'm finally seeing Eart from the orbit, as I wanted to since day one. The planet looked just like live pictures from the orbit. With clouds and weather that was moving, and earth rotating.

During one "intermission", I remembered to try and levitate out. And I started moving upwards in prone position immediatelly. Going through roof and bunch or other rooms.

In one LD, I'm walking on the street and pass a guy leaning against a wall. I think to myself "no, no sex!" But after few steps I turn back to look and he is opened to it, so I say ok, what the hell.

Next 15-20 min is xxx.

okay there more to this dream but I waited to long and cant remember most of it,
but im dreaming about lucid dreaming so I guess technically im not lucid.

im running down a street and im moving things with my mind. I think I Remeber moving a car in to the air, I also remember seeing my hands out in front of me . I'm using them to move things. it make it 100% easier. I running down a street with tree running down on both sides. I turn right towards a house and look threw a big round centered window. My sister inside cowering and I crack the class with my mind. it spider web cracks all over. I move my hands around and cracks appear following the movements of my hand. I stick my hands threw the cracks of the glass but it doesn'tt hurt.

Hi everyone, this morning around 7 around woke up spontaniously and had quiet good DR, I could remember atleast 3 dreams. However I felt too sleepy and confident to write them down at that moment, so I fell back asleep for 3 hours and by the time I woke up I could only remember one dream very fuzzy. In the coming nights and mornings I will try and get in the habbit of writing in my DR, doing an RC and questioning reality upon awakening. I will set my clock to wake me up after 6 hours of sleep as this is the time I have best DR, largest REM-cycles which means that it's the optimal time to do induction techniques like WILD/SSILD/... which should raise my chances of lucidity a lot.

1. The boring swimming-pool

I'm in a modern building that has an indoor swimming-pool, there's several people in it relaxing and I see my sister too. I get in the water which splashes a little bit but that was unavoidable, however my sister is quiet annoyed and asks me to keep it quiet. I respond telling her that I couldn't do anything about it and I pay close attention not to disrupt her again.

I am with my mom and sister and we are going to see a movie. This movie is at a grocery store, so we pay for our tickets at the front and make our way to the designated isle. On the way, I see some 'exit only' doors and a man coming in through them. I wonder how he was able to do that. In the isle, the screen is on one side and a row of about 6 mattresses is on the other side. They lay down on two of them and I end up in a section between two of the mattresses.

I went back to high school, albeit the Seniors are gone due to early release. All of them are wearing white for some reason, and I'm catching the butt end of the day in my Jeep. The parking lot is different, and as I sit outside my vehicle a familiar blonde girl and her friends are nearby. I ask them, "why all the white?", to which they reply, "Senior white day." Confused and uncaring, I end up acting chaperone to Babs, Olivia, and some other girl I don't know. She was blonde? Maybe it was Desiree. Being normal me when I dream & drive, I nearly get most of us killed on the way there, shaking up Olivia & her friend by the time we arrive to her house. The neighborhood was a cul de sac, much foliage, and a red house. The stranger blonde too shooken up by my driving skills ended up staying at Olivia's house as Babs used her restroom. Maybe this is where I transition into the next dream? I'm not sure.

The earliest of this dream I can remember is a stranger all geared up, either standing on the opposite side of me or with me as he holds a weapon toward an olive bloused zombie. Somehow and eventually the zombie ends up biting my shoulder (with little blood), and the man end up killing the zombie after it also bites my sister in the ankle??? So I guess the zombie, my sister, and I end up on the ground, staring at the dark ceiling as the man and his crew decide what to do with us, thinking we're starting to turn into zombies. All of a sudden (God knows why?), there's a bright whitish/bluish light above us that somewhat gives us the opportunity to bolt, thinking "God wouldn't let the Winchesters turn into monsters!", because we must be the Winchester sisters... I believe I caught a glimpse of the light being a strong flashlight from a SWAT team. Soon, we made escape, climbing and parkouring our way out of roofs and the construction-like building, as a fairly large group of us run toward to road, motioning each other to take a portion of us to run across so they 'enemies' wouldn't see us. Going around the fenced corner, I continued to follow my friend, Ericka. Somehow I ended up on the ground to shelter from something, so she does the same as she's pressed up to me. Now for some God-awful reason, I started turning into a zombie. Either I decided to do this in my dream or I'm just plainly idiotic. Ericka managed to get away as I almost killed her, unlike her unfortunate black friend hiding under the fountain-thingy. I'm thinking other zombies showed up as to why I could only manage to tear apart her leg and everyone else got to eat the rest of my new black companion. Her body ended up at some locker that I managed to open, revealing an entires set of survival equipment that makes me think to my zombie self, "this would be really useful if I wasn't a zombie." (I forgot what the contents were, but most of which were camo.) Walking down a hill toward a gravel path that went into the woods, I started making noises that resembled the spitter in L4D2. The gravel trail really reminded me of that wood-line to Berenzino in DayZ. All of a sudden, poof, I ended up back in the group of survivors as a human. Someone decided to walk around the foresty-woods as we had a nostalgia trip to these red-bricked buildings. I forgot what they were reminded of.

And yes, I enjoy turning nouns into adjectives.

A party is being held by my friend at a my neighbor's house, even though the friend doesn't live even remotely close to there. I call him a few minutes before it starts, and he says he's so wasted that he can't drive down there, so the party gets called off.
*
As our family is stacking the dishwasher after dinner, my parents find a six pack of various beers and wines in the fridge, and I casually distract their attention from it. I didn't remember placing it there but it's obviously supposed to be mine. As I'm putting away some food, I pick up one of the wine bottles and it's cold and wet with perspiration on the glass.

*
Ziplining across the neighborhood with different companions, doing mile long laps a 6 feet above the ground. One of my friends almost breaks her leg when she gets too close to a car. Once we get home, a weird game takes place inside my bedroom with different colored bugs being released that each serve as a different rule that you have to follow. I'm not paying attention and casually squish them as soon as they start crawling towards me. Lastly, a huge cooler of small insects is tipped over and thousands of bugs crawl towards my air vent in the corner of the room. I understand that there will be drastic consequences if one of them reaches the vent, so I frantically try to squish them all.

In the dream I remember I was in a car with my family. We were driving around a place i know in real life. My dad spotted a girl and said that this girl is going to walk with me home in the future. I laughed about it and said no shes not.We were than passing by scenes really fast like a time machine. It was funny. I was creeped out by how people were going fast but soon it stopped and I appeared on my bed in the dark. Something was trying to take over my mind in the dream. I was told a small demon from the time I was a baby was coming back to haunt me. Even though that never happened. I knew it was a dream so I ran downstairs to look for my dream guide Eye in the room he use to appear in. Anyways I ran downstairs and the strangest thing happened. My mom had really saggy boobs and was soaking it in water. She said she was doing it to prevent it from getting a disease I think. Than I noticed I was naked and my mom pointed to my chest and said I needed to make them bigger. I was surprised but ran to the room to look for eye. No one was there but my clothes came back on. A little dog toy music playing thing came in the room and started playing music. I thought it was boring so I went through a small window in the room to the backyard. I than climbed the fence and landed on the porch. To my surprise there was a half naked,tall, muscled man with shoulder length red flowing hair, a devious stretched smile, one eye I think holding a scythe like weapon floating on the porch. There was another one just like him and some other people too. It looked like they were going to battle. I thought they were going to kill me so I tried to take the scythe but only managed to make it fall out his hand. After that he got it back and I jumped off the porch onto the sidewalk. After that the battle started and suddenly me and other people, including Digimon characters were about to get sucked into holes on the ground. Some got stuck but I managed to not get sucked into a hole. I than appeared in a hospital where there was a teenage boy smiling at me in a creepy manner. He said he was going to cut a organ on the table. I ran out the door to where doctors were working on different patients than ran back in the room I came out. I said I was going to leave through the window cause it was sunny and I saw some stores outside. But when I jumped I woke up

---

In my next dream I wanted to see my dream guide. I kept getting images of a story about a boy that a tree fell on him, a image of dirty water and a voice telling me to write my name on a piece of paper. It was weird. Eventually I was in the dream but I was in a car with my dad and people I don't know. We were driving near a cemetery I think. Or it was just a park with ancient stones and a huge tall building next to it. In the car I thought I saw a dark figure with a hood in the corner of my eye but looked away quickly. Soon the car dissapeared. And I was walking a bit confused. Than out of no where a invisible thing grabbed me from behind, pulled me onto a rock they were sitting on and started feeling my body. After that I appeared on my bed in sleep paralysis but everything was the same in waking life. I thought my eyes were open and I was in SP. I saw a small portal that was light blue and had a picture of a tiger on it. Than all of a sudden I seperated from my body a bit and felt like something was trying to go in me. I prayed even though I knew it was a dream and it screamed than dissapeared. I got back into myself and woke up. Its funny cause my dad was in the other room and the lamp was still on just like in the dream.But that's probably cause I woke up after the other dream and saw how things were in real life.

---

This last dream didn't happen today. Maybe before yesterday. I didn't write it down cause it was really disturbing. I was lucid in a city with two lady's. It was really late but one of them wanted to get in a bar to drink. I left the place and suddenly a fat man with a large gun put his gun to us and told us to do certain things. He was on the top of the subway staircase. I said we didn't have to listen to him cause it was just a dream. He got mad at me and started shooting at me many bullets. It felt so real but no pain. I was saying sorry has he shot me cause my attempt to stop the bullets failed. He said it was too late and I died. I appeared on a bed not like my room in real life and my body parts were falling apart till I was nothing but just a conscious mind. Than I woke up.
I had that dream I think cause I was mad at someone who had a higher authority and questioned him a bit. After thinking and talking about it I decided I was wrong to be mad and apologized.
