LD #10 “Jump out of a plane as a RC”
My stepdaughter woke up at 2:50am from a nightmare. I went in her room and comforted her and then returned to bed. I was having some trouble falling back to sleep and decided that this was a good opportunity to try the “wake up back to sleep” method. I lay there and told myself, over and over, “I will recognize my dream state and become lucid.” I eventually dozed off………

I am on a 747 airliner. I am flying somewhere with my stepdaughter. There is a huge storm going on outside. Someone yells out that we are going to get struck by lightning. I know that we are in no danger because this plane is equipped with the new “elector magnetic shield” which will deflect any lightning strikes. I decide to watch it work. I walk over to the door and open it. There is no wind or negative affect from opening the door while in flight, like there would be in RL. I look out and a huge bolt of lightning zig-zags down and bounces off of the side of the plane. It looked very cool. Suddenly a small white poodle runs by me and jumps out of the plane. My stepdaughter is next to me holding my hand. Without hesitation I jump out of the plane, still holding my stepdaughter’s hand, to save the dog. I sore downward and catch the poodle. I then slow my speed until I am floating gently down. I land on my feet in the middle of a city street. I put my stepdaughter and the poodle down on the road. The dog runs off. [B]I suddenly realize that I must be dreaming (or else I’d be dead). I’m now lucid. I am still holding my stepdaughter’s hand as I begin moving through the town. I see a building that I recognize in my dream world. I realize that it isn’t a building I know in RL, but I have been in it before in past dreams. It is a strange blue brick building. I head inside. I walk through a “lobby” where there are many people, and up to a small podium where an older (50ish) but attractive woman was standing. She had short graying-blonde hair and a nice figure which is shown off by the yellow flowered sundress she is wearing. She steps out from behind the podium and leads me and my stepdaughter down a hallway. She motions with her hand to a room on the left. It is full of toys and other children. She says, “This is the room where the children can play.” My stepdaughter lets go of my hand and runs inside. I let her go and continue to follow the woman. She is leading me somewhere, but I’m not sure where. I decide, at that moment, that I am going to experiment with sex in this dream. I reach my arm around the woman and pull her close to me. I can feel her soft warm flesh under the cool silky texture of her sundress. I pull her close to me and I can feel her firm body against mine. I press my lips to hers in a passionate kiss, but I keep my eyes open and try to remain calm and focused. She also keeps her eyes open and I realize that her eyes are not human eyes. They are yellowish-green cat eyes. I continue to hold the kiss for a few more seconds and my entire body is tingling pleasantly. I release here, and she smiles shyly. She begins leading me again. We walk to another room and she motions for me to enter. I leave her behind and walk into this new room. There is another woman in this room. She is tall (around 5’10”), probably in her late 20’s, has long dark hair & a fantastic figure. She is wearing black stretch pants, a black t-shirt and white sneakers. She is working-out in front of a large mirror. I only see her from the back from where I entered. I move around her to see her from the front and she is swinging a set of bright yellow nun chucks. I step up to her, my hand darts out with inhuman speed and I catch the nun chucks – stopping the momentum dead. I pull them gently from her hands and drop them on the floor. I move up to her and look into her ice blue eyes.

Spoiler for Sexual Content:

My hands move up to the waist band of her stretch pants and slipped inside. I begin to slide her pants down slowly, letting the palms of my hands caress the smooth skin of her hips. I whisper in her ear, “This would be easier if you were wearing a skirt.” She moves away from me toward a brown couch (which wasn’t there when I came in) on the right wall of the room. She lays down on the couch, beckoning me with her eyes.

I turn toward her and realize that there is a huge mirror to my left. I think, “I wonder what I look like in a mirror in this dream”. I turn and look. My reflection was that of an oriental man, in a black suit, wearing huge black horn-rimmed glasses. My hair was slicked to the side. I looked like a stereo-typical nerd. I laughed out loud. I closed my eyes for a moment and willed my reflection to change. When I opened them I was me again, wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. Distracted, I forgot about the woman on the couch (don’t ask me how I managed to forget about the sexy woman). I walked to another door, opened it and walked out. I turned around and there was a small read plate screwed to the door with “FFUUE” on it in white. I turned away and then remembered the woman back in the room. I turned back to the door and the letters hand changed to “F03”. I went back into the room

Spoiler for Sexual Content:

and the woman was there, still laying on the couch waiting for me. But, she was now wearing a tight gray skirt. I moved toward her, kneeled down with my knees on each side of her hips and began to slide my hands up her shirt as I leaned down to kiss her.[

/B] I wake up!

LD #9 “Government Agents”
I woke up at 5:10am and I knew that I had another 20 min to sleep. I lay there for a few minutes until I dozed off. I began to dream: I was in a bathroom that I don’t recognize. I glance at my face in the mirror and immediately notice something wrong. My face looks fake, like it’s made out of plastic, and my mouth is tiny (maybe .5” across). I realize that I must be dreaming. (Mirrors tend to make me lucid.) I look at my right hand and it is tiny and chubby, like an infant’s hand. I am fully lucid. I open the bathroom door and walk out into a screened in porch. I speak in a strong commanding voice “Increase lucidity!” and everything becomes crystal clear. I walk to the screen door, open it and walk out into a “pool area.” It looks like a built-in pool at a hotel. It has a cement patio around it and it is nicely landscaped with small bushes with red flowers. A long haired black cat comes walking up to me. Then I notice more cats all around the pool. (I was watching the movie Cat Woman just before bed.) I kneel down and pat the black cat. Its fur feels greasy and matted. I pull my hand away in disgust. This situation reminds me of the movie Cat Woman which prompts me to attempt some of her powers. I leave the pool area and walk out onto a deck. The deck is about 30ft above a large area of lush green lawn which is surrounded by a 10ft stockade fence. I gracefully leap up onto the railing (like a cat), and perch there observing my environment. I hear a jet flying overhead. I look up and it is only a tiny metallic speck against a pure blue sky. I focus my vision on it, like a zoom lens of a camera, and I can see the jet in detail. I realize that it is a heavily armed military jet. I decide to fly up to the jet superman style. I am suddenly startled by a voice behind me. “You are not allowed to do that!” I turn my head and there are two men, in blue suits, standing there (Average looking, in late 30’s early 40’s, dark hair, clean shaven). I know that they must be government agents. I laugh and say, “I’m dreaming.” I gracefully jump from the railing down the 30ft to the grass, landing on my feet and hands. The men are looking down at me from the deck and I am suddenly hit with a wave of fear. I realize that they don’t want me being lucid in my dreams. I try to escape from them. I sprint toward the fence and leap. I am just about to clear the fence when I am hit with a shock wave (like being hit from behind by a large wave at the beach) and I am jolted awake. I sit up in RL as the shock wave hit me. I sit in my bed for about 3 seconds feeling pretty freaked-out when my alarm goes off, startling me even more.

LD #8 “Winter Wonderland”
I don’t remember what happened in the NL part of this dream until….. I was at the house of a childhood friend, on his side porch. I was there with some business people (I’m not sure who they were) and I was watching them fill out some important paperwork. I glanced out of the window (3 walls of the porch are basically all window) and I had a marvelous view of Lake Quinsigamond hundreds of feet below me. I could see tiny motorboats and sailboats moving around on its surface. Then I noticed there was snow all around the lake. I realized that something wasn’t right. If there was snow it would be too cold for boaters, and the lake would be frozen. I considered that I am dreaming, but in my mind I doubted it because everything seemed so real. I do a RC and look at my right hand. I have 2 extra fingers. I remind myself to stay calm so that the LD will last longer. I close my eyes and take a few deep calming breaths. I am completely lucid. I walk out of the porch, leaving the businessmen behind. I am on a long driveway covered in a couple of inches of packed snow. I begin walking slowly down the driveway (which angles down a small hill). I can hear and feel the packed snow crunching under my boots (I suddenly realize I have winter boots on). I look around and it is a beautiful scene. There is glistening snow everywhere. I am surrounded by huge oak trees with snow clinging to every branch. It is a breathtaking winter wonderland. As I near the end of the driveway I realize that I am not cold, and the snow suddenly melts away leaving only wet pavement before me. The driveway ends at a street. I can go left, up a slight hill, or right. I choose left. I begin walking up the wet deserted road. For a moment I consider not doing anything but observing this dream, but then I worry that it will slip back into a regular dream. I instead decide to talk to some DC ‘s. Suddenly there are people on bicycles, motorcycles & go-carts racing toward me. They are all wearing numbers on their shirts. I’m standing in the middle of a strange road race. I have no fear of getting run-over. I try to stop someone to talk to. I step in front of an oncoming group and wave my hands over my head, in an attempt to flag them down. The simply zoom around me and keep going. I am very annoyed. I think, this is my dream and I can stop someone at any time. I focus my attention on a man on a bicycle; he looks like an Olympic bike racer. As he tries to speed by me my hand shoots out with cat-like reflexes. I grab hold of his blue & yellow spandex shirt and easily yank him off of his bike. He lands on the ground at my feet. He is very angry and yells at me, “What the hell do you think you’re doing! I’m in a fricken’ race!” I ignore his words, lean down close to his face and stare into his eyes (they were ice blue by the way). For a moment I try to read his mind, and I have a flash of a thick leather bound book with small gold lettering on the cover (I couldn’t read the words). (I have no idea why this happened or what it meant) The book disappears as suddenly as it appeared and I am staring at the man again. I ask him, “Are you a dream character, or a real person?” He suddenly changes. His skin goes pale and he becomes “Unreal” or “doll-like.” He moves a bit, but his movements are stiff and robotic. I walk away from him and I am suddenly in a building which I know is a school but I’m not sure what school it was. There are people all around me. I focus in on a woman. She has dark wavy hair and she is wearing a tight maroon turtle-neck sweater. The collar of the sweater is pulled up over her mouth and nose. I grab hold of her arm and pull her close to me. With my other hand I pull down the collar of the sweater so I can see her entire face. She is very pretty and has on dark red lipstick. I can see the light dancing off of the surface of her moist lips. The urge for sex begins to rise within me, but I fight it off. I look deeply into her brown eyes and ask, “Are you a dream character or a real person?” She just looks at me, confused. The dream fades away and I wake up.

LD #7 “Make a Woman Appear”
I remember dreaming about college and Dave Phillips was there with me (I won’t go into any great detail about it.) Then I had a false awakening. I was in bed and got up. I was in a strange dark house, but this all seemed normal to me. I walked down a dark hall to the bathroom. I turned on the light and it was extremely bright. I went over the mirror and looked at my reflection. I had white spots (like dry patched of skin) all over my cheeks. I took a closer look. Then I realized that my face doesn’t look like this in real life. I actually questioned whether I should do a RC or no. I thought, this all seems too real to be a dream. Then I looked at my hand and counted my fingers, I had 8. I knew I was dreaming. I (as usual) began to rush out of fear of awakening. I walked out of the bathroom. I began to rub my hands together to increase lucidity, but the whole house was very dark so it was hard to tell if it worked. Sex over took me (once again). I found a door and opened it. It was a bed room. There was a bed covered in crumpled blankets. I closed my eyes and willed a woman into the bed, and it worked. When I opened my eyes and threw back the blankets there was an attractive naked woman lying there. I got into the bed with her with the intention of having sex, but immediately woke up.

LD #6 “PERFECT ABS”
I remember being at my friend Mike’s house. I was looking out his back sliding glass doors at his lake. The lake was much smaller than in RL, really just a tiny pond. But there were large waves beating against the shoreline like the ocean. The Water level kept changing, one moment the water was very low, the next it came right up to his door. I remember seeing a dock/bridge that ran all the way across the pond. But part of it was submerged. I remember asking Mike and his bother Ed about it. We walked out to the shoreline and he had floated a large rusty oil drum out there to use to float the sunken section of dock up out of the water. I noticed that his dock was actually floating on huge bundles of trash. I wondered if this would pollute the lake.
The next thing I remember I am porky pig. I’m in a cartoon and I am chasing some girl pig through the jungle. We are sliding along vines that run from tree to tree like tight ropes. At one point I get a running start and catch up to her. I tackle her and we are suddenly tangled up in a bunch of blankets. We fall to the ground (no pain) and I am now myself and the cartoon girl pig is my fiancée. I am trying to gut untangled and she keeps rubbing up against me and moaning, trying to get me sexually aroused (and its working very well). I give in. I move the blankets enough so I have access to perform oral sex on her, and begin. She is moaning with pleasure. Suddenly I glance to my right and there is a large mirror there. I can see myself. I am standing there in just my underwear and I notice I have perfect abs. (My fiancé is now gone.) I flex my abs and they look like they belong to a body builder, I suddenly realize (much to my dismay) that my abs don’t look like this in real life (at least at this point in my life). I am lucid! I look at my hand and have 7 fingers. I am extremely lucid. I walk to the door and move to the next room, then to another door to another room. The rooms have no furniture, hardwood floors and stark white walls. Suddenly I say to myself, Stay calm, you always wake up too early because you get excited and rush around. So I take a moment to rub my hands together. I then calmly ask myself what I want to accomplish. I decide to try something new. I yell out, “I WANT TO MEET MY GREATEST FEAR!” Nothing happens. “SHOW YOURSELF!” Again, nothing appears. I begin to walk slowly and calmly to the next door and into the next room. There is a TV in the next room. There are (of course) cartoons playing, Sponge Bob this time. I know I am having trouble escaping from this “dream house.” I decide to go visit Sponge Bob by entering the TV. I kneel down in front of the TV and try to push my hand in. It won’t go. The screen is hard and cold just like RL. I remind myself that this is a dream and I can do anything. I try again and it works, my hand pushes in. (It feels like I’m pushing into warm dough.) I next push my head and body through, but simply end up on the other side of the TV, still in the same room. I stand and move to a door. I think for a moment, this door leads to the outside. I open the door and it is the outside. It is night and raining. I turn the lock on the door, but then stop and think What if I have to come back in? Then I laugh because this is only a dream. I begin to walk, in my bare feet, through the wet grass. I can feel the coolness of the rain on my body. I decide that I will search for some DC ‘s to speak with. I walk down a dark street with many houses, but I see no one. Then I come to a small park and there are kids and parents sitting on benches. It is now daytime, clear and warm (it changed without me realizing it.) I walk among them. It is so real that I do a second RC (looking at my 7 fingered hand) and I know I’m still dreaming. The first woman I approach to speak to only speaks Spanish. I notice a child reaching for a round rock (a bit smaller then a tennis ball) that is on the ground under one of the benches. I put my hand out (like a jedi) and will the stone to my hand. It flies through the air and I catch it. All the children see this and come running over. They gather around me, as I will the stone up onto the air in front of me and make it spin really fast. Suddenly I let the stone drop, the urge for sex has overtaken me yet again. (I really need to get control of this in the future.) I run off to find an attractive woman. I don’t get far before I wake up.

LD #5 “Marketing Class Out Doors?”
I'm in my Marketing class, except it is taking place in a perfect New England town common. It is a perfect summer day; warm & sunny. I am lying on the grass with a blanket over me and a guy from work is to my right. He reaches out and grabs my arm. I get angry and grab his forearm, and squeeze with super human strength. I feel the bone snap in my grasp. He yells in pain and I suspect I'm dreaming. I apologize for breaking his arm and stand up. I look at my hand and realize that I have extra fingers. I begin jogging down the street. I wave to my professor, who is standing behind a brick podium atop a small grass hill. I get up to a good speed and jump into the air. I fly up at least 100ft like superman. I can see the entire town below me. The sky was blue with some puffy white clouds. It was bright, but I never actually saw the sun. I do a huge loop-da-loop and end up near a maple tree. I can see the leaves so clearly. I then fly (about 20ft off of the ground) down a cobble stone street. I come to a set of steps and at the bottom is a large fountain. I fly right into the water. It splashes all over me, it is cool and refreshing. I realize that I am now in a building, in a stair well. I slide down a stainless steel banister. I end up in a hotel lobby and there are lots of people. I wave at and greet some of the people. Suddenly the urge for sex takes over. I walk to a petite blond woman in a white and red striped sweater. I walk up to her and look deeply into her blue eyes. I slip my arm around her waist and can feel the fuzzy texture of her sweater, the softness of the flesh beneath, and the warmth of her body. I begin to gently lead her toward the elevator and she willingly walks with me. - I realize that this situation would really piss-off my fiancé and wake up.

LD #4 “Clean up the Glue”
I was sitting in my living room watching Looney Toons. Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck asked me to play a game. The game consisted of me squeezing this ball (about the size of a tennis ball, but smooth red plastic) and Elmer's glue would shoot out. Who ever got the most Elmer's glue would win. I squeezed the ball and a huge stream of glue shot out and landed on the hardwood floor. I was very upset and got up to get a paper towel to clean it up. When I tried to wipe it up it just smeared on the floor. Suddenly I realized I was dreaming. I stood up and decided to use Telekinesis to remove the glue. A young man suddenly came up from behind me and stood right in the puddle of glue. I shoved him out of the way and used my mind and hand (like a Jeti) to lift the glue off of the floor. I had some trouble at first, but finally the glue was floating in the air like a bubble. I moved it into the kitchen and dropped it into the sink. I then moved to the young man, slapped him on the back and said, "I'm dreaming, so I'm going flying." I jogged out the side door and into my yard. I went to jump into the air and noticed a car driving down the street. I delayed for a moment, because I didn't want the person in the car to see me fly. Then I thought "I'm dreaming" and jumped into the air. I flew about 20ft from the ground and woke up.

LD #3 “Naked Co-Worker?”
4:30 a.m. – LD – Once again a naked woman prompts lucidity.
(I had a midterm test last night and was very relieved that it was over when I got home. I ate a large amount of a pomegranate just before bed.)
I really can’t remember anything of this dream prior to the point just before lucidity. I am in a classroom with a bunch of other students. Then Beth (a co-worker) comes up behind me. The teacher (a tall woman with long dark hair) is coming down the aisle in front of me to meet Beth. I turned to look at Beth and was shocked to find that she was naked. I immediately became lucid (this is an obvious dream sign for me.) (I remembered to rub my hands together to stabilize the dream, and it worked.) I didn’t even have to do an RC to verify, I just knew for a fact that I was dreaming. I looked closely at her. She had a very nice body (which she doesn’t have in RL). She asks the teacher if she has any pomegranate and the teacher replies that she doesn’t. I stand up and say, “Hey, I have some left over from last night.” I am still staring at Beth’s naked body and for a brief moment I consider having sex with her, but I realize that it would be wrong because Jen would be mad at me. I walk out of the room leading Beth. We go into the next class room (which is empty of people) and there are the two pieces of left over pomegranate on the teacher’s desk. I left Beth at this point. I walked back out into the hall and began to rub my hands together to increase lucidity. I turned left and went down a flight of steps to the first floor. I began walking down a long hall to leave the building. I remembered that I wanted to practice my flying. I passed a room on my left and looked in through the window on the door. The room was full of young women (in tight red sweaters) singing. Again the thought of sex crossed my mind, but I resisted. I knew that it would just cause me to wake up and I was supposed to practice my flying. I walked away from the temptation quickly and headed straight for the door that lead outside. I exited and saw a large group of high school kids standing under an “overhang” that extended out from the school. I raised my hand to them and yelled, “HI EVERYBODY!” in my best imitation of Dr. Nick from the Simpson’s TV show. The crowd of kids yelled back, “Hey Jeff V…..!” Then I thought, ‘hey I can really impress them by flying and I jumped into the air. I didn’t fly, I simply landed on my feet just like in RL. I then thought ‘this is my dream and I can fly!’ I jumped into the air superman style and this time I flew easily. I soared up over the school and I could see the roof of a large yellow house next to the school. I looked down at the grass and the tops of trees. I soared around for a few seconds and then landed. I noticed the radio towers near the school (they are there in RL also). I wanted to fly up to the top of the tallest one and see what the red light looks like up close. Suddenly there were some trees blocking my view of the towers. I started to run to the right to get around the trees so I could see the towers again, then I thought, ‘what am I doing? I can fly.’ I took off again and began to soar upward toward the tower and then the dream faded out too quickly for me to react. – I WOKE UP.

LD #2 “The Indoor Pool”
5:05 a.m. - 2nd LD – after much trouble falling back to sleep, I suddenly find myself outside of an old house. It is fall and the trees have changed color. I realize that two hick guys (who I know in my dream but not in RL) own it. I walk up to the door and think, “I wish they had a pool.” I open the door and on the other side was a huge Olympic size built-in pool. I am standing right on the edge of it at the doorway. The two hicks are standing on the far end of the pool next to a large table. The pool touches the walls on the left and right. I yell to Mike (a friend/co-worker, who is suddenly with me), “Hey come look at this.” I step onto a tiny ledge to my right. Mike comes to the door and jumps right into the pool. I can feel the heat coming from the water and realize that it’s a heated pool. I say, “Oh my god, Jen would love this.” I close my eyes and try to ‘will’ a diving board into existence because I want to dive in, but it doesn’t work. I realize that I’m fully clothed and decide that I don’t want to get wet. I notice that there are hand rails, about 2 inches under the water, running the length of the pool on the left and right. I balance against the wall and walked down the rail to where the hicks are. My shoes get wet, and I can feel the warm water trickle into my shoes. (This is where the shallow end is.) (As I walk I notice that the tiles at the bottom of the pool are very old and worn, and I think, oh well. What should I expect from a hick’s pool?) I tell them that it’s a nice pool. One of the hicks is a guy, about my age. He has greasy hair and is wearing one of my company sweatshirts. It is all dirty. I think I had better clean him up before Jen gets there or else she will be upset. I try to ‘will’ the sweatshirt clean, but it doesn’t work. Suddenly, I realize that I’m trying to will things to happen and that is strange. I look at my hands and I can’t focus on them, if I look directly at any one of my fingers I can’t see it, but I can see the ones that I’m not looking at. “I’M DREAMING”, I yell. (I forget to rub my hands together.) I ignore the hicks and Mike (who has just gotten out of the pool.) I walk on water back across the pool where there are now huge plate glass windows. I am thinking I only want to explore. I get to the window and put my hand against it. It is cool and hard just like real glass. I look outside and there is a forest of fall colored trees. I am amazed by how clear it looks. The colors were more vibrant than RL. There is a low stone wall among the trees and I examine it. I look closely at a maple tree, and the leaves are a beautiful gold color and I can seem them rustling in a breeze. I can see bits of clear blue sky through the trees. I want to go outside, but I hear a door open behind me and turn around. Jen has walked in at the other end of the room. I see her and I desperately want to kiss her. I walk on water back to the other end of the pool. I am suddenly VERY aroused. (I still know that I am dreaming.) I think to myself that this is a bad idea because sex can wake me up, but I just have to kiss her. I walk up to her and notice that she has dark red lipstick on I can see light reflected off of her beautiful lips. I wonder to myself, “In a dream a kiss could be more intense than a kiss in RL.” I put my arms around her, one behind her right shoulder and the other behind her waist and pull her to me. She resists a bit. I pull her tight to me (I can feel her body against mine) and press my lips to hers. The kiss seemed to envelope my whole body, I felt like I was going to explode with sexual energy. Then the dream began to fade and I didn’t think to spin or rub my hands. – I WAKE UP. I do an RC by looking at my clock twice and I am actually awake.

LD #1 “Can’t Ditch the Kid”

4:50 a.m. – LD - YESSSS!!!!! I DID IT!!! My 1st intentional lucid dream!! It started as a false awakening. I woke up in my bed and I knew (without looking at the clock) that it was time to get up for work. I got up and went to the bathroom. (My bed room was on the 1st floor in my dream, but on the 2nd floor in RL.) I went into the bathroom and looked at my face in the mirror. My nose was huge and blue, & it took up my whole face. I thought, ‘My nose doesn’t look like that!!’ Then I thought, ‘OH MY GOD!!’ And I looked at my hands. MY FIRST RC IN A DREAM, WOO HOO!! My fingers were all squiggly, just like you guys described. “I’M DREAMING!!” I yelled out loud. I walked out of the bathroom and into a hall, but it wasn’t my hall, it was a hall parent’s house. I actually remembered to rub my hands together as I walked down the hall and everything became clearer. HOLY CRAP, did things look real. As a Walked past a door on my left, Olivia (my girlfriend’s daughter) came running out after me. I tried to ignore her and went into the kitchen. (It wasn’t a kitchen I recognized.) I walked over to the sink and picked up a small jar that was sitting there. I felt it; it was cool and hard, it felt exactly like a real jar. I brought it up close to my face and looked at it; it was clear and reflected light, just like a real jar would. Then I threw it against the wall. It smashed brilliantly; glass flew everywhere, far more glass then should have come from a little jar. Olivia came running into the kitchen saying NICKIE, NICKIE!! (Her nick name for me.) I say, “Olivia, I’m busy.” I grab her and move her out of my way. I had to get away from her. She was ruining my first LD. I ran to the sliding glass doors that lead to the deck. (Just like at my parents house.) I slid the door open, turned and tried to close it to keep Olivia inside. She just slid open the door. So I slid the screen door closed and tried to lock it, but she managed to open that too. I ran to the gate on the deck and jumped over it figuring that she was too little to climb over it. It was about 4ft tall. I jumped up and landed on the top of it, and then jumped to the other side onto the grass. She jumped over it to. Then I said, “Olivia, go back in the house.” She kept following me saying, “NICKIE, NICKIE, NICKIE!!” So I finally said, “Screw this!” I did a superman and flew into the air. I didn’t have full control of my flight. At first I only got to 12-15ft off the ground and started to drift out of control toward a tree. Olivia jumped into the air to follow me, and now I’m starting to get REALLY annoyed with her. She is flying toward me calling, NICKIE, NICKIE!!” I thought, THIS IS MY DREAM AND I CAN FLY LIKE SUPERMAN! Then I got full control and began to fly higher and faster over housed and trees. I finally got away from Olivia. Then the dream started to fade and I forgot to rub my hands together. I woke up. It was 4:45 a.m. and there was no way I could go back to sleep. So I came down stairs (Did another RC incase this was a false awakening, and it wasn’t, I’m really awake.) to type this up before I forgot any of it.

9/14/04 - (I believe that was the date)

This was my very first LD and it happened naturally. I wasn’t trying to have LD ‘s, I didn’t even know that it was possible at the time.

1st LD – Unintentional “My Topless Girlfriend”

I was at work, which is a large room with many low cubicles. My coworkers are all at their stations taking phone calls as usually. I am sitting up at the front of the room doing my shift lead functions and my boss (Gail) is sitting to my left, in an adjacent cubicle. Suddenly, my girlfriend walks into the room topless. I was surprised and my first thought was, "How did she get by security like that?" Then I noticed that no one else was paying any attention to this half naked woman walking by them. Then something clicked in my mind........"Oh my god! I'm dreaming!" I got really excited (which was a mistake) and thought "Hey! I can do anything I want!" Then I woke up.

Included in this night's competitive dreaming: a WBTB fail

Dream one:

It all began with me being on a science expedition in South America, looking for the mysterious beings, which had been reported to splash about in a broad and deep waterfall and sing to each other.
We found them and they looked quite unimpressive - rather like some sort of mobile coral - 20 cm times 10 cm small and consisting of brown lamellae forming a bunch of flutes. Just that - no heads or eyes or anything. They let air through themselves and did some compressions and so produced their curious singing.

Despite being wordless - they gave us to understand, that they are from a planet in our solar system - we knew, which one was meant, but I have no correspondence to a real one, from what followed.

For further exploration a rocket-launch-pad was erected - looking more like a dangerous fairground ride, which shot a sort of train in the sky at an angle.
I was a bit afraid of that and not on the first mission, but took part in a further one - I really dreamt this roller-coaster feeling in the stomach, when we accelerated.

Its a bit weird then - it feels as if I had later remembered having been on that planet when I was back, but I don't remember the stay per se.
Really weird - I remember telling somebody about it, being back down again - like a false memory - and that was accompanied by pictures, too. The planet had a fluid brownish red surface - that's all there was.


Dream two:

Nothing out of the ordinary here - once more removals to another city and looking for a flat.
I found something in a beautiful, several hundred years old, but huge house.
Inspecting empty, architecturally pleasing flats - another dream-sign of mine - same as me emptying out an old residence - there was a bit of that as well later.
Also happens often - I find such a flat higher than ground floor, but over the time of inspection, there always comes about a connection to a terrace or garden - to greenery outside.
It's in real life so, that I really insist on having a balcony at least.
So it was here - a balcony sort of morphed into a terrace over inspection - and it was soo beautiful.
A little inner yard with really old trees and wines and flowers, architecture a bit damaged in a picturesque way - a bit of an enchanted spirit. And my blue bell flowers again - could also be a dream sign.
Once I like a patch of greenery - they are almost bound to be somewhere, too.


Dream three:

Started with a bit of an argument with my partner - then we went to a public swimming pool - an indoors facility with a wondrous basin.
It was sloping pretty steeply, maybe 40 m long, and sported some waves and whorls, but had a rather still surface overall.
Theoretically the surface shouldn't have been staying like it did under normal gravity, since it wasn't a river, wasn't flowing through.
And I even thought about that - but of course decided, this must be some new entertainment technology..
We had lots of fun and frolicking - having the whole thing to ourselves later ..


Dream four:

I was visiting an old friend of mine at his parent's house, and they were hanging in his ears about marrying a suitable woman. He had broken up with his girlfriend, who was a complete bore, but would have fit right in concerning social status and financial background.
Was one of these strange dreams, where something is told and at the same time I can watch it like a movie. Here it was the mother, explaining how it all should be.
We got a peek into the lives of two daughters of a bank-director - bit ridiculous, like checking what sort of watch they wore, if they had impeccable style. Beautiful they were, and a story of a maritally created business connection of the families was spun out.
He didn't want either of them.

My dream starts off with myself and two guys running around in what appears to be a whole set of underground mazes. We each have a bunch of things that we're carrying, though most of it seems to be contained in the knapsacks we're each wearing. On top of this, however, we each have a knife strapped to the outer part of our thighs, as well as a gun in our hands. I carry what simply appears to be a pistol, while my companions have what seem to be much more military grade weapons. The tunnels we're in seem to be very dark, though we appear to know what route we're taking, but we're constantly looking behind us due to low moans and grunts that echo through the stone walls.

We eventually come to an area of tunnel where there is actually an opening in the ceiling above us and for some reason this room is lit up. This is the place we're looking for and I drop my things and get sent up first. Once I'm up my first male friend starts passing me his equipment before I haul him up, and we start doing the same for the second guy. However, the second dude is taking what seems forever to send his stuff up to so I remember remarking how 'You need to stop sending your shit up to me one at a time.' Just as I'm telling him this a loud noise echoes almost right beside us and the third of our group pales, looks down the path we came from, and looks briefly at us before running down the tunnel saying, "Guys, I'm sorry." He starts making a lot of noise as he goes, looking to draw the zombies away from where we are. It doesn't take long before it seems they catch up to him when he starts screaming and wet noises fill the tunnel. It's past time being able to save him.

We scoop up all of our belongings and exit the room into what seems to be just a normal (albeit larger) home. We walk through the kitchen and living room before exiting the house and it turns out that it's built on a beach. Walking out from the home has us standing almost at water's edge and there is an entire community of people living here: there are people sun tanning by the water, kids swimming in it, and it's just an entirely laid-back atmosphere. A couple of older men approach us to welcome us to their home and take most of our inventory besides our knives to a communal armory. Some other people encourage us to go enjoy ourselves, so we shrug and decide to go find stuff to do. I decide to go swimming so run up to the water in my clothes and go right in.

I'm swimming only until I get to water depth about twice my height when I notice a small body just sitting at the bottom of the section of ocean. I can somehow tell it's not a zombie, but instead a small boy of maybe 8 years, and I swim down to pull him up and out of the ocean. Once I get him out I run to take him over to a building side and start trying to do anything I can to get water out of his system, yelling "Are you ok?" He swats away my hand and simply replies, "I'm fine." It gets awkward and silent for what seems like an eternity and I ask what he was doing at the bottom of the ocean. This look that gives me chills passes his face, and replies, "You'll find the answers you seek on the dark face of the moon." The kid then looks like he's about to try to eat my face and I scream, but instead his body becomes translucent and he absorbs into me. As he does a million different images of the future pass through my head, though I do not know if they're different moments down the same timeline, or a million different possibilities for the future that our timeline could progress down.

Thoroughly freaked out, I go inside to try to find something to eat. My friend is there in the kitchen with a female just a bit older than me and she's cooking for the group. She hands us both another, much sharper knife and explains exactly how to strike a zombie to minimize damage so that we can filet it better and cook it up (not only do zombies apparently come through the tunnel every now and then, but they are available to eat). Just as she says this, a couple actually appear from the catacombs and we follow her instructions to kill them clean. Just as we're dragging the bodies towards her, a few more come up and we do the same thing. She remarks how odd it is, as only a couple at the most tend to come up a day. Another body appears from the tunnel, but the results are much different this time. While the person looks like another zombie and is even partially decayed, it behaved like a human. It ducked around our strikes and grabbed the knife from my friend before lancing it through his throat. As my friend is collapsing to the ground, the creature runs back to the tunnel and somehow destroys the narrow opening, so now it's a large, sloping gap for a horde of zombies to come up. Most are normal, but there are quite a few who look like chargers from Left 4 Dead, as well as a couple that look like tanks from this game.

The female and I both try to run back out, but I'm the only one who actually leaves. I start screaming for everyone to get out and to run just before the horde comes out behind me. Many people aren't fast enough and become lunch for the group of zombies. A large creature of our own appears, seeming to me like an almost mini-Godzilla but with wings. It scoops up a couple of people and prepares to take flight. I just about get grabbed by a zombie, but a woman pushes me out of the way and screams when the zombie bites her in the throat. When the Godzilla creature grabs me to take with it, the woman gurgles out, "You've seen the future and you'll be the one to save us all." As the creature takes flight and takes us with it, my dream ends.

/** Notes on WILD Attempt #1.0 Alpha
Oh I almost forgot about this part okay so.
After my 5 AM wake-up-call I tried to WILD with BillyBob's tutorial and using Harionago's technique as an anchor. I laid down and tried to relax while picturing my dream body clapping. It was a little hard to hold onto, but I managed to keep it up for a while as I started to drift off.

And then, maybe three or four separate times the clapping I was doing started to sort of "fade in": it started to feel like I was the one doing the clapping, and I could actually hear it, and each time my brain reacted like a lightning strike. It felt like touching metal and getting shocked, except totally mental and a little more subtle, like something that had been waiting had snapped awake. And each time the "faded in" sensation vanished as a result. Eventually I just fell asleep and had a normal non-lucid dream.

It was pretty annoying, but hey, that's a first attempt for ya. To me it seems very very promising, if I can keep it up. I really want this whole dreaming thing to be a skill that I master, even if it occasionally takes a backseat to other skills I enjoy.

OKAY LEMME TRY TO WRITE THIS DOWN WITHOUT TAKING HALF AN HOUR (NOTE: I FAILED)

First part of the dream, my brother and I were going to this winter retreat which was pretty exciting, I think I can remember the sort of planning and packing that's typical of that sort of thing. Mostly though I remember skiing down a slope. It was just me and Ben, nobody else around, and the slope we were going down was in the middle of a forest, and the snow wasn't even all over the ground. Most of it was piled on the slope which was good because otherwise we'da died or somethin. I remember skiing down and then my second try was snowboarding and it was fun but YOU KNOW. MY VISUAL MEMORY AINT AMAZING. Or I wasn't present or something idk. I think my recall is fine and I need to increase awareness/presence somehow...

At the bottom of the slope (it's a wonder we weren't just sent flying into it) was this great tree house sort of thing. It wasn't confined to one tree either, it was sort of all over the place. And there were animals all around or somethin?

Anyway the dream shifted at this point, so now instead of Ben and I it was just Protagonist Dude and Protagonist Female. Or whatever. That's not the names the dream gave them I just came up with them. I did a bit of exploring of the tree house as Protagonist Dude, I think. There were some animals in cages. Actually, it was almost like the setting of this peaceful story had been partially combined with that of a cold, scientific lab somewhere, because I'm pretty sure some of the animals were distressed. That's the impression I got. Protagonist Dude didn't seem to care very much?

so now the setting changed to be an anime that my boyfriend and I were watching and let's see man it's so hard to remember everything that happened

I think there was some stuff here about the Protagonists and y'know some bad guys but I can't remember >:U

oh well I like this part at least

the anime sort of introduced us to these bad guys at some point? they were supposed to be these super mysterious watchers who were behind a camera of some sort, it was like, how the bad guys or the government were keeping tabs on the good guys and it had sort of a 1984 feel to it. anyway it shows us these watchers, there were only two of 'em in the whole place, and you're introduced expecting them to be these evil autonomous Watchers who just Know Everything and junk, and it turned out to be two frightened protagonist-looking-people, one of them probably in his 20's and the other a bit older, just absolutely terrified that they were going to be squashed by the government for missing something.

which I'm pretty sure one of them was.

and then I remember that the episode had ended and boyfriend had stopped watching and I was checking out the preview of the next episode and this is SO CONFUSING but basically the two Watchers were sword-fighting in the most obnoxiously happy way possible, just fighting all over the place so professional but also laughing the entire time. And there was some sort of hint that it was actually a dark scene or maybe an old memory that no longer mattered or whatever, and then the preview switched to the main part, which was that the 20-something Watcher had been freaking out about something. And then what the dream gradually revealed was that he'd had trembling in his vision, and now the shaking had stopped. So there was this cool bit where he was lying in this super-green grass and I got to see from his perspective how non-shaky his vision was now. Which would normally be pretty boring because most people have non-shaky vision and the idea that it had even been shaky at all had only been introduced like 30 seconds ago, but it was still a sort of touching moment. And evidently he was freaked out in a GOOD way about all this. Or idk maybe he'd been freaking out about the government maybe squashing him.

Anyway the last thing I remember is seeing things from his perspective, including him tilting his head way back to see the grass and sky. And you know what. Right now I couldn't tell you which was where. My brain says "oh the grass was on the bottom and the sky was on the top because that's how perspective is supposed to work" but when I tilted my head back just now my bed was on the top. Or idk the bottom. UGH SO CONFUSING, BLEH. My brain tries its best. I don't blame you brain </3

00:00 Sunday 2014-03-09 competiiton #17 night #2

00:08 bedtime

05:30

1) (WTF?) I'm looking at the ceiling of a room and there are large square gray constructs there arranged in a pattern. I think this is some sort of billiard table and I look for shots I could make and think about where there things would move around to if i hit them. On the walls across the room there are tracks that go up and down along the front of closet doorways (IWL I think this was my parent's bedroom), and two billiard balls are racing up and down these tracks. One of the balls is trying to jump ahead of the other one. The balls are replaced by small dogs and they brake hard by sticking their front legs out straight in front of them and digging their butts into the ground and dragging them.

07:06

2) I'm outdoors, among trees, doing something with the ground, there are tools here. I notice some long straight channels in the ground (looks like made from cement?) that go from one are to another area and I think I need to make some more of these channels. I'm trying to find a tool that will help me gouge the ground in the proper shape. The tool I'm thinking of is like a giant allen-wrench-shaped crowbar, but all I can find are some axes, but I know these won't do a good job. I go looking for my partner with axes in hand to see if he has the gouging tool. I'm carrying the axes two in one hand at first then adjust (like a good boy scout) to carry one axe in each hand proper safety-merit-badge-boy-scout style.

I'm approaching an area where there is a line of shrubs going from my left to my right, I'm near the left end of this row, beyond this there is a hill going up on which are close-built colorful houses in many rows going up the hill. A woman appears from around the row of shrubs and sticks a plant quickly in the ground near the end of the line of shrubs, and she disappears again behind the back of them, I think she's marking her territory. I see my friend/partner and ask him about the tools and he doesn't know. I see a house to my left and a plant that marks the boundaries of the property lines. Then I'm looking up at the rows of houses and telling my friend how to get to a particular place I know up there, you have to go up a steep hill and turn onto a street.

3) can't pick up papers in driveway, why do I bother picking them up I'm not going to use them anyway, I see some handwriting on a page and assume it's my handwriting. There are some people parking and approaching I think we're probably in their driveway I think we should leave we're probably freaking them out. A guy says we're going to use the papers again. The pages are turning into confetti and getting blown away, I can't pick them up. The guys says something about "think of all the computer stuff it was harder to do without what we did."

4) Walking through crowded hallways in some high school. I see a drinking fountain in front of me I want a drink but it's a bad one, as the stream of water flows horizontally and way too close to the bowl/faucet so you risk touching something dirty. A bit farther down the hallway I see a drinking fountain with a more vertical stream. A teacher is showing me around. I wonder if I know anybody at this high school. There's a little 2-lane bowling alley, very very narrow lanes with kids bowling there, I see a control room for the alley next to it, there's a boy sitting in there and there are lots of controls and computer circuit cards and wires there. I think that's awesome. But then just beyond it there's a full sized bowling alley with "23 lanes" full-sized. As I'm walking by the lanes on my left I watch a boy bowl (right-handed) a gutter ball. I think the kids would be amazed if I got up and bowled a strike.

I come across an odd lane where the whole lane is rippling in waves about a meter high and one meter apart between crests. 4 people are standing in between the waves, and the game involves getting the ball to move from one wave valley to another. You also get points to doing maneuvers with the ball. One couple of the people, boy and girl, start doing something that causes the ball to orbit around their necks and heads, and they start kissing. I get a "camera zoom" view flying in a circle towards the woman's face and keeps zooming and zooming up to her lips and I see she has a bit of a mustache (WL day residue!) and the dream ends while the view of her lips keeps on zooming until they fill the entire view.
