Excerpt #1 from my personal Dream Journal.
DATE: 7/29/2013
TIME OF OCCURRENCE: Between 5:30 and 6:30 A.M.

I awoke after about four hours of sleep. Got myself a quick snack, relieved myself and got a quick drink of soda. That only took about fifteen minutes. Returning to bed, I almost immediately went into Sleep Paralysis. The weird thing is, I transitioned from SP to a Lucid Dream, a false awakening and finally an OBE. Each time though, I exited the SP by forcing myself out of the right side of my body and was floating around my room. The LD wasn't vivid enough but I did try to go somewhere (leave my room and house) unfortunately I hardly succeeded. I couldn't picture the person I was trying to meet up with very well for some reason nor find him/her. The OBE was the creepiest part of the whole experience. As soon as I forced myself out of my side I was floating again but my eyes stayed closed because there was an apparition which I believed to be a demon. It was blocking the path out of my room to my LD, so I flew directly into it in a fight once I had gained enough courage to do so. That was the end of the experiences for the night/early morning.

Dream was about swing dancing. A big swing dance, I think in Bloomington. An exchange, a workshop maybe. Not at the Union. Christain was there. Ended up in cafeteria of my grade school. Jazz band. We danced to live music from them. I think I sang.Someone was teaching basic dance moves. I was having trouble with one of them. Was very frustrating. I was very irritable in this dream. I lied to someone. TOld them I didn't have a phone. 'Cause I didn't want to have to deal with them, talk to them. Felt really bad about that. I don't know how to get out of a lie. Someone offered me some kind of gum. It was maybe spicy or shocking or something. I turned it down.

Later in a video game. But actually *in* the video game. But I knew it was a video game. That's promising, that's like a dream. That's like knowing you're in a dream almost. I even remember regenerating. It was an FPS. I didn't want to shoot anything. I wanted to take pictures for some reason. But I tried to hit the "take pictures" button and it just ended up shooting. I don't know how it had a take pictures button given that I was actually *in* it. Like virtual reality, but more like a dream.

Several people sitting around having dinner. Candles. Took the wicks out of all the candles so I could melt them down and make big candles. Dragonfly or something hiding on the wall. Hiding in the wallpaper pattern from something. From a bird? A monkey? Some kind of animal. There was a parrot. These few creatures ended up chasing each other around flying through the room. Yeah I was really irritable in this dream and I don't know why.

The dream begins with me and a lot of students in this type of choir for Dr. Wolf. We go up on stage and start singing this song and he gets all into it and is dancing on the stage. I kinda joke around during the whole thing. Then I sit down and some kid comes up to me with a lighter just like my Germany lighter I accuse him of stealing mine but then find mine looks a little different in my pocket. Then I go outside to meet nate who tells me about a place we can get free beer. I look on my phone, relieved to still have it but it is 4am so I tell him I am going home. He stumbles around and then brings his luggage over this fence.

I'm trying to use the following lucid induction video:



The video uses isochronic tones. The first part is meant to lull you into a deep sleep withthe isochronic version of delta binaural beats, eventually transitioning into a theta frequency. About 65 min. in, voices start saying, "This is a dream," "Perform a reality check," etc.

My first time around, I think lost conciousness for a moment, then started hearing noises. I remember hearing a dog barking, a door slamming, and footsteps. I performed a reality check, but I was fully concious. I'm unsure whether these sounds were part of the video (unlikely), hallucinations, or real noises. I think the third is most likely because a.) I was only about 12 min. into the video and b.) I live in an apartment complex where most people have dogs.

I've attempted this multiple times tonight. I think the problem is that the video is too short. I can't fall asleep quickly enough. If anyone has links to longer videos (on YouTube) that have worked for you, let me know.

Dream Fragment 1: I'm holding onto a man. Both of my hands are gripping one of his arms very tightly. He doesn't seem to mind. We are in a very crowded area. It's filled with people laughing, drinking and dancing. I let go of his arm and he places his hand on the small of my back, leading me away from the crowd. I feel happy.

Dream Fragment 2: I'm in Grandma and Grandpa's R.V., sitting at the table. Julie and I sit on opposite sides, talking about whatever. A guy, who I both know and don't know, Walks up to the table with a plate of food. He looks at Julie and then he looks at me. He smiles big and tells me to move over. I move a bit and he sits next to me. We share his plate of food.

Thomas (my older brother) owed LilWayne drug money. He didn't have enough especially when Lil'Wayne decided it was like 100,000.

We got out of there and Thomas accused me of not caring enough to help.

Last night bed 10:30 - 5 am 7am-12pm

Shortly after falling asleep last night, I woke startled and I was so sure I'm dreaming. Counted my left hand's fingers, normal number. I was thinking "please, let they be normal on the other one too". I was so freaked out.

I was awake, but the feeling lingered. Thank god for RCs.

Legend: Dream , Semi-Lucid , Lucid

My sister had a party last night. As a result, i was woken up at various times through the night which really interrupted my logging but i was able to log the last dream before my final awakening.

GTA Deathmatch Explorer:
The dream starts off with me and some friends playing an adventure game with a setting that resembles cube world. I'm looking at a map. On the map are locations and the locations light up when you discover them. So as i look at the map, i plan which place i want to clear on my map next. I pick and as i start to travel, the setting changes to GTA. I'm now crossing a large stone dam. I get to the other side but i was forced to kill some cops as they would have discovered me otherwise. After i kill them, more cops show up and i make my way back up and across the dam. I notice that i still have 1 star no matter how far out i go, which means i must have really built up a bad reputation.

As the dream continues, i join an online deathmatch game. It's starts off with me driving a fast car into a building, luckily, i jump out but find myself on the roof of a house. The setting was a neighborhood by the way. As i'm on the roof, i find a rifle and start shooting the other players. I get a lot of points for this. Eventually, the game restarts and i climb back on to the building but this time, i take the other rifle that was on the roof. I start using it, it's not as effective as the other rifle. I make my way down and start shooting from ground level. The neighborhood slowly turns into a land of fire as various buildings catch fire. At one point, i killed a reptilian.

After that, i remember doing some combat at my dojo. Soon after, the game ends and i did decently. I ranked up to like rank 5. After that, my friends and i decided to play something else. As we were leaving the game, we noticed some people who were like rank 20 which was pretty high.

Strategic defense:
I was inside some real time strategy game and the setting was my farm. I was going through a tutorial. It had some elements of sins of a solar empire in which there were rocks on my farm and i could build mines on them that would produce copper. The rocks were as small as a bowl but i that didn't stop me from building a mine on it. I also managed to build dome shields to guard the mines.

... I was in some place I don't know. Probably a school.
These two girls are following me. Each one carries a hand bag. I left a room and turn to a big corridor. I'm getting a strange feeling.
They keep stalking me. I turn and one of them comes towards me like she wants to give me her bag and asks: "Are you Telmo?"
My heart is racing!!
I felt being pulled down. Like I was in the middle of a spiral. There's this deep guttural roar. So weird.

The dream stops.
I'm in my bed. I open my eyes and try to move. I can't.
The roar continues and there's this black silhouette in front of me.
I was trying so hard to move.
It lasted just a few seconds until I finally managed to move.
The thing is... I wasn't scared. I was somehow aware of all the stuff I've been reading about SP. And didn't gave it much thought.
I was trying to move because I thought I was in a middle of a WILD attempt and it was time I try and leave my body for my FIRST! Lucid dream.
I seems my mind is going all in at night. My recall is also improving every day but I'm still unable to get Lucid.

Dream One:

Mr. T, my PE teacher not the mohawk dude, and I were in a forest. Tall trees, giant hill, and many vines decending from the tree tops. For some reason, Mr. T and I decided to go up the hill. After we made it to the top, he started acting strange. I asked him what's going on and he just looked at me. Then I woke up.
Mysterious right? The way he turned his head was just his head and nothing else, no other body movement was involved.

Dream Two:

This dream is the same as the first dream, except in the beginning, I'm driving the car and Mr. T is no where to be found. I look behind me in the trunk and I see a burnt creature, bald, red flaky skin, evil eyes, and a smoker's voice. Oddly enough, I felt that this was Mr. T. I asked him "What are you doing?" and he lifted a drum-like object, faced the top surface towards me, and forming at the top of the surface was a small hole in the center of the object.When the hole opened, he said "Your turn to burn." And gasoline poured out of the hole and into our supposed camping supplies. I jumped out of the car and watched the car go over the same hill from earlier. Fianlly when the car hit the otherside of the hill, a fiery boom was created and as it exploded, I woke up.
At this point I figured these dreams were separate, aside from the scenary, but that was the last thing I remember from the other dream. However, I then had a third dream.

Dream Three:

This dream is kinda like a prequel to all the other dreams. It started out with me, my sister, friends, and my friend's parents. But we're in a locker room waiting for the parents. These weird robot things came in and started wreaking havoc and I decided to do something about it. I grabbed a little yellow one, like a pencil, and threw it out the door, hugged a fat one and it ran away, then the rest just ran out on their own. The parents came in and began a short conversation with us:
Parents: Okay, are you all ready to go?
Me: *Confused* Where are we going?
Mom: To Yellowstone National Park or Lake Mead
Me: For how long?
Dad: Probably until the 10th of August.
We were already half way to YNP when I thought "Oh no, I've got tennis practice this week!" which is true, I've got it all 5 week days and I didn't want to miss anything. It was too late and I guess in my dream it was already the 9th of August. We then signed ourselves in and as we did I saw Mr. T and his wife signing in as well. I thought, "What is he doing here?" and again, he looked at me, but this time I started hearing this loud ringing noise, kind of like on Slenderman, and I felt heavy and slow. After the dream faded out, I finally woke up.

Maybe it's got something to do with my thinking process? Or maybe they were separate dreams, and I just dont remember the first dream as much as I do with the 2nd and 3rd.
My dreams came in an anti-chronological order. Do they all have something in common? And what did Mr. T meant by "Your turn to burn."? Who knows, once I get this dreaming technique down, I'll ask him why the next time he tells me this.

I DEILD. As I entered the dream I see my mom is sleeping though I know irl she is at work. I go upstairs and some weird things happen after I did a RC. As soon as I did a RC. The carpet that my foot was under started to move. Not only that but the carpet got stuck under my feet and it was really irritating. Next odd thing was that this strange "fuzz" starts impairing my vision and I couldn't get it off. (My dream control is just bad) I just decide to just close my dream eyes. I then try to move but then I somehow prick my finger on something. I felt a sharp pain in my right index finger. I then just decided to just force my self awake. I shake my dream body and in a few moments I am awake, I decide to try to DEILD again. After going through the vibrations and whatnot I enter the dream. This time the fuzz that impaired my vision was there again and my bedsheets "stuck" on to me, like wrapped its self around me. At this point I had no desire to be lucid and lost lucidity at that point. The dream goes in a different direction and is about me convincing my mom about how a dog has rabies or something.

Not much of recall today, ended up easily falling back to sleep when trying to recall and sleeping schedule got a bit broken again, need to fix it.

There was some game with story about some kids and their parents, MSPA-style. There were various locations including some blue maze that everyone was going through, in maze there was some talk.
Then there was some snowy mountain area, through which they were getting using some huge snowmobile/tank hybrids, then on the top they talked to a dragon who was hiding in human form and who tells them some kind of truth about the world. They then moved through few locations and ended up at some kind of farm place, where they met parents again and talked to them.
Kids went on through more locations, getting some kind of special powers and then reaching some army base. Officer here tried to get them to drink various alcohol drinks and almost succeed, but GWG appeared out of nowhere and started posting some crazy stuff and walls of texts, distracting everyone, and then made portal archway and disappeared through it. One of kids with most special powers realizes something and moves through portal as well, others follow him. They end up getting teleported just barely few meters away from the archway and dragon, that's hiding in human form, facepalms while watching for them.
Soon they reach some city, with red on white color theme. More cutscenes start and kids's parents end up spontaneously exploding, then some witch appears to be behind everything and the final fight starts in one of the buildings, which ends up being really gimmicky with various challenges.

I found myself in some grassland holding a black sword. It was something like a mmorpg universe, I was hunting down the monsters gaining experience and stuff. At one point I was jumping under some bridge to get some chest. I came to one part where my dream suddenly changed to other scene; now I was jumping around some house and my goal was to enter in dream of person sleeping inside that house. The house didn't have any windows or doors, but after jumping around it i discovered small window. When I looked through it I saw some girl sleeping there...I wanted to enter into her dream but I couldn't get in house. Next thing I remember is that I am in some facility holding a gun. There was someone with me and we were running toward open doors at the other end of facility.

Random dream...

I'm in some camp cabin, there's an audience and we're watching Roseanne Barr and that dude who plays her husband on the Roseanne show talk about their show, and people in the audience are pissed that the guy left the show or something because they missed his sandwiches. During the whole assembly there is a sandwich just chilling on stage with like 60 layers of ingredients and bread. After they are done talking they go into the audience and take a seat, then a teen girl and a teen boy go on stage and make the audience laugh for a good 5 minutes with improve, then Roseanne yells from the audience asking why they aren't eating the sandwich, so the two teens shocked grab a few layers off the sandwich, the girl got two pieces of bread with ingredients in the middle, but the boy only grabbed two pieces of bread with no ingredient in between and it pissed Roseanne and the guy off so they got up and went back onstage and shoved some of the proper bits of the sandwich down his throat, and then they threw the rest of the tall sandwich at the audience and they all fought for just a piece of it.
(I wasn't in the dream at all.)

I have a dream that I am traveling in a car with my wife, my son and her sister. I am riding in the back trying to sleep and have a LD but either my sister-in-law was too loud or she had the radio blasting. She was driving and my wife was riding in the passenger. The odd thing here is that my wife looked just like my ex. I find this confusing but I let it go for now because I am really just focused on getting lucid.
After some time we get home and I carry my son in. I just leave him in the car-seat for someone else and go straight to bed. The house looks like a meshing of my current house and the first house I bought with my ex. I lay down in bed and wonder why my ex with is us. I ask my self who I really love but I can't remember. I relax and the vibrations hit.

I become fully lucid now and remember the reality of now. I feel some anger toward my ex but let it go. I spend a lot of time in SP fun land. I transition out of bed several times but I am blind and wobbly. I fall several times and each time I just go with it and either dig into the earth or a wall but I always end up back in bed like repeat hell. Each transition is a struggle and eventually I just really and focus on the vibrations. I try to visualize but nothing is coming. At one point I hear my son crying. (fake I think) I get out of bed and try to go to him. But quickly realize I am still in SP.

I have a FA and try entering into my bedside DJ and quickly realize I am still dreaming.

I have another long SP episode and this time I relax and meditate. I pray asking God to help me. I ask that my vibrational energy increases and I enter into a higher realm. At this point I wake up for good.

I have several other vivid dream but none come close to being lucid. I felt really tired and had bad technique.
