I was in a Russian military boot camp. Everyone had semi automatic rifles, but was firing at an fully automatic style. I used all of my grenades and went to resupply, The dream turned into a nightmare and when i left the resupply room the entire camp was destroyed like a tornado hit. I turned around and saw the supply room become a monster's face. It flew out and the body was in the shape of a pillow. Me and another man ran out to the street and asked for help, "What are we doing?" I asked, "I'll tell you, you're breaking rule 12" a man said. "You can't do anything because I'm IN A NIGHTMARE!" I shouted. I became lucid and lifted the man up with the force and threw him into a house. i then woke up.

Dream 1

There was an argument between some of my family members at 3 o clock in the morning. My mum rings someone up and she starts threatening her, my mum says tells her to come to our house now! We all start getting ready for her appearance, my brother even text his friends telling them that our mum was gonna get in a fight. We all stood on my driveway in dressing gowns, this lady drives up with the window of her car rolled down and starts insulting us...the dream ends.

Dream 2

My mums aunties husband asked me to solve a case for him that would involve lots of money. What I had to do was to find an alien. However the only way of finding this alien would be to find him in a lucid dream and this is when I would ask him a set of questions.

Dream 3

I was in an elevator, this person was standing next to me. I knew that they had information what I needed to find out about the assassination of Kanye West. I turn round grab their neck and push them against the wall. I fiercely tell them to give me information. I can't remember what the person looked like or what they then said but I found out it was just about to take place. The lift opened into a busy crowded shopping centre, I ran as fast as I could. I spotted him on an escalator, I was slowed down to a fast walk as so many people were in my way. I pushed people slowly out they way fixated on getting Kanye West. I was gaining on him and then my alarm went off!

2 dream fragments

Dream 1

3 people who go to my school had a fight. At first they started scratching each other then had a fight

Dream 2

I was at a petrol station I had just been to V Festival and someone had been setting up some tents for me

No recall for tonight, no attempt at recall, and no excuse.

So I'd been thinking lately, and LinkZelda and I discussed this last night, that it would be cool to change genders in a lucid dream. And not the thing I usually do where I grow boy parts and just stick it in whatever walks by me first. I wanted to actually turn into a guy, and ask a nice girl out on a date, maybe make out a little bit. The point was to have the experience, and not be a mindless dickhead out for sex, like I usually am in my gender bender lucids.

Anyway, so after working 6 days in a row, and thinking about this goal alot, I finally have 3 mornings in a row that I can sleep in. So last night I looked at pictures of pretty women, not overly PlayBoy-ish, just.. nice ones. And I settled on one and kept her in my mind.

Then this morning I tried for WILD. Woke up at 5am, then 7am, had a non lucid about zombies and grizzly bears (may post later), then kids woke me up a bunch of times. I was getting frustrated, but I kept my goals, and lucidity right at the top. I got up at about 9am, went pee and had some water, then lay back down. That did the trick, and pretty soon I drifted off, then rolled over and felt the vibrations.

I saw a bedroom form as my eyelids became transparent. Not my room at all. I slowly got out of the bed as usual and the sheets were stuck around my ankles a little. They vanished as soon as I walked towards the 4 doors in the room, looking for the one that led out. The first door had a dead bolt on it, so I turned it and opened the door, expecting it to be the way out, but it was a closet. I tried the next door and it led to a hallway.

I walked down the hall which opened into a livingroom, and there were a group of people sitting and watching TV. I looked for the lady that I wanted, but she wasn't there. A few older people were on the couch, and a really pretty young lady on the chair. Before I could think if I would ask her out instead, everyone in the room said "Hey Lisa." Crap, I'm still female! I asked them if any hot chicks came around looking for me, and they said no, without looking away from the TV. I went to the front door of the house and opened it, hoping to see a beauty on the other side. No one. So I decided to settle on the lady in the chair. I went to the large mirror behind the folks on the couch, and my reflection was basically me, with a long ponytail. So I looked at my reflection in the eyes and said "I am a really hot guy, named Michael." My hair cut short, and a ball cap appeared on my head. Despite some red-neckish looking clothes, I looked pretty good. Dark hair, blue eyes and chiseled facial features. Like what I ordinarily go for myself haha.

Anyway, feeling quite confident, I went up to the girl in the chair. She looked alot like this one actress, I'll see if I can find her pic and post it. I just took her hands in mine and said, "Hey, do you want to be my girlfriend?" She beamed and said "Ok!" First mistake: I didn't even ask her name. I led her into the hallway, and I suppose fearing for dream time, I just pushed her against the wall with my body. I took her face in my hands, and planted a kiss right on her lips. Then I used tongue. The whole time I kept my eyes open, just in case of accidental loss of lucidity (gotta work on that schema). The moment was so vivid. I kept feeling the skin on her neck and face, her hair, and all up and down her arms and body. A couple times I stopped to kiss her neck, and all along her jawline, loving all the chirpy little sounds that it elicited from her. [I gotta stop right here just to say this to the men in the audience: Bravo for every time you were ever in this situation and resisted the urge to just nail the girl. Because in the similar situation, I FAILED.] Her skin was so soft and satiny, and it would get flushed and burning hot to the touch wherever I kissed it, especially her neck. That neck, mmmmmmm mmm mmm! I ran my hand down the front of her shirt, stopping momentarily to cup a breast. I truly felt like I was going to explode on myself right then. I was really aroused, and my goals all went right out the window. Didn't ask her name, ask her out on a date, have ANY conversations of any kind. I just started ripping her clothes off right there in the hall. One goal. Solo. Uno. Everything else in the world was just gone. And I was punished for it. Right when I was about to give my first thrust, I woke up.

So...

I guess I can say that I'm happy that I got the opportunity that i wanted. I just need to play my cards better next time, and not be so greedy. I ended up DEILDing back into that same bedroom, but I woke up halfway down the hall

Edit: Oh it looks like I inadvertently completed the basic mirror task. 3 cheers for lucid mirrors!!

Edit again: The girl on the left is the one I wanted, the one on the right is the one I got (but with shorter hair and tanner skin). I can't complain.

I was on a game show but it wasn't like in a typical game show setting, it was more like a limited open field. I remember there may have been a pregnant lady, no, there was definitely a pregnant lady. And about eight or ten other people, I only even talked to one guy and that wasn't even in my body. Other than that I only remember the pregnant lady winning some money and she get really excited and starts shaking. Then I make some chocolate milk, and while I'm stirring the syrup in the milk I wake up.

The reason I count it as a fail is because I went to sleep at 2am and only got 7 hours of sleep and for the challenge I have to get at least eight hours of sleep, SO this is not one of the days in the 30 day challenge and I guess it can technically start tonight.

I did some meditation and self-hypnosis before bed but it wasn't enough to make a significance difference in my consciousness.

So I've decided to do a 30-day challenge of using the SSILD technique. I have experimented with the technique before with somewhat mixed success. So this time I'm going to use nothing but SSILD for the next 30 days and record how many LD's and FA's I get. So here we go:

Day 5

My timing tonight was absolutely horrible. I went to bed at 12:30 and set my alarm for 5:45 (I seem to have best results if I wake up after 5 hours of sleep). However, I naturally awoke from dream 1 below at about 4:00. I figured, what the heck, so I did the cycles then instead, but left my alarm on just in case. However, I then naturally woke up after dream 2 at 7:30ish for some reason - meaning I completely slept through my alarm (which automatically turns itself off after 15 seconds). Somewhat disappointed, I tried the cycles again before I went to sleep. I don't remember any dreams from then until I woke up again about 5 minutes before my final alarm went off at 10:30. As a result, I only had 2 somewhat-disappointing non-lucid dreams.

1. I was back at the grocery store (dream sign, anyone?), but instead of being a normal grocery store, it was the set for a kid's game show. The set looked like that old show "Legends of the Hidden Temple", but had the premise of "Supermarket Sweep" (2 big reasons why the 90's were the best). Kids would run down the aisles retrieving specific products and bringing them back to the front of the store.

2. I went back in time to when I was in 8th grade (I remember thinking "8th grade is fine. I'm sick and tired of all this college stuff.") One of my coworkers (yes, from the grocery store...) was our substitute history teacher. She was writing our assignments on the board, which included "Frog Dissection Part 2" (kind of a weird thing to do in history class), and two long papers. I remember thinking how interesting her handwriting looked, almost like it looked like in real life (yes, I'm an idiot. I was so close, but hey, it's progress, I suppose...).

Day 5: LD - 0, FA - 0
Total: LD - 4, FA - 1

I had three dreams for today. I don't remember much of them because I was trying to go back to sleep and have more. I know the first one took place at school (not really my school; whenever I dream about school, it usually takes place in a past school or a new school my mind creates). I saw my crush again briefly.

I'm unsure about the order of the next two or what happened in which, but I don't remember enough about them for it to really matter. One of them took place at my grandmother's house and the street it's on. It also involved a woman I don't think I've ever met in person, but she was apparently my father's sister (ie. my aunt). We were running up and down the street for some reason (we may have been chasing my sister, but I'm not sure). Some other things I remember are me being outside of a store in my dad's car (we did the one-liner things from CSI ) and me being with my grandma.

Tried to WILD but I just couldn't get into the final phase, I feel like I was close but oh well.
Had quite a lot of dreams but only remember the one
-Was at work at JS and was talking to some Indian woman in the lift lmao. Then I started to work and someone from my college was also there MW. I had been in the store overnight and therefore it wasn't my shift so I didn't have to go on the tills so I roamed about trying to avoid customers Then went out back to where people work with the frozen food (dont actually have this in real life) and just chilled for a bit talking to people.

I had travelled to America to visit my friend Morgan. When I arrived, I found no one waiting to meet me. I only had very vague details about where exactly it was she lived. I didn’t have her phone number, so I didn’t see that I had any choice but to try and make my way for myself.
I headed out of the airport and wandered for a long time. I had the description of ‘it’s behind the cinema’, so I started asking people where the nearest cinema was, and looking around for myself.
Eventually, I asked a blonde haired teenage boy who told me that he could direct me. He led the way, but when I tried talking to him he didn’t respond at all.
Finally, he pointed me to a large building behind a cinema and disappeared. Forgetting all about him, I went to the building and headed inside cautiously. It seemed to be an almost university dormitory type living setup, with each person living there having a room which came off a corridor. I had trouble because, in my dream, I couldn’t remember what Morgan looked like! I finally found her and her partner and greeted them. (They didn’t look anything like they really do, but I knew it was them in my dream.)
They paid very little attention to me, carrying on with what they were doing. I found myself a spot to settle down in, and watched them. I didn’t feel welcome at all.
They went to bed super early in the afternoon, and left me in the same room as them to sit in silence. I noticed that my friend’s partner, Jen, was a very light sleeper. Even the slightest of noises disturbed her. I started to seek out anything that was making a noise, eradicating it where I could to help.
The window rattled, so I arranged for someone to repair it the following day. I went outside to see what I could do to fix it temporarily. Eventually, I pressed a clock against the glass in the window, stopping it from rattling in its frame.

((Bonus points for this once since I was, again, myself! Woo! No lucidity yet, but at least I’m myself…!)

Dream recall from today's nap.

I was in some outdoors place.

Alright, last night some drama happened so I decided to not count it as a 'official' attempt. I'll just do whatever I did yesterday for today.

Here's my short DJ of what I remember:

1st: I dreamed of playing Stacraft against someone. We built lots of Motherships and he defeated me in the end.

Interpretation: Memory/Wish of me playing starcraft again.

2nd: Dream of me playing Basketball against some people. I felt useless and lost the game in shame

Interpretation: Fear of me being bullied because of not fulfilling expectations.

3rd: Dream of me doing Parkour and meeting David Belle

Interpretation: Probably memory of me talking to a friend about me becoming David Belle one day

4th: Weird dream about the father of my friend trying to kill me while I sleep. I woke up sweating

Interpretation: No idea xD

As a forward, this happened after 29 hours of being awake, so it was most likely during a rem rebound, it was my 3rd dream of the night (I woke up after the first 2).

I was in a house I did not recognize, but my aunt, uncle, and 2 cousins were there. There was an extremely large front window overlooking a jungle and a large river, I could see 2 crocodiles, and my family seemed to be having a discussion on whether they were crocodiles or alligators. After a few minutes I noticed that everything outside the house seemed to be frozen in time (birds were stuck midair, the crocodiles mouths were perpetually open), the only thing that was moving was the sun, which had almost set by this point. I decided to go to bed (in the dream house), and my aunt showed me to my room, it had a large 4 post bed and a large chandelier in the middle.

As I laid down, I heard some sort of noise from the far corner of the room, but i thought nothing of it at the time. As was falling asleep (still in the dream) i could hear some guitar playing and thought it might be my alarm clock going off, then out of nowhere this ear piercing scream fills my head, one of the posts snaps off the bed and the chandelier comes crashing to the floor, send glass all over the place. I hear running down the hallway and my aunt comes into my room to ask if I am ok, I tell her that I wasn't hurt, just freaked out.

As I stepped out of bed, my foot came down on a piece of glass, cutting fairly deeply. I decided to go to the bathroom to bandage it, when I opened the bathroom door there was a woman standing there in a navy blue dress, that was flowing even though there was no wind. All of a sudden some force pulls me into the bathroom and a second door opens. There was a massive staircase, filled with decomposed bodies, they were all covered in this sort of grey-green slime, I looked behind me and all I could see was darkness, and the woman in the navy dress floating a few feet back, I had no option but to descend the staircase.

As I walked down, the bodies started moving, not in a particularly creepy way, just sort of falling over and stuff, but I checked each face to make sure it wasn't someone i knew. After a few minutes of walking/being pulled down the stairs I reached a door, I was really hesitant to open it, I could only imagine how bad it would be, to my surprise it was an early 20th century home, lit by candles and a fireplace, it was a stark contrast from the cold death feeling of the stairway. I could see 3 beds facing me, each had a man and a woman around my age on them, 2 of the couples were awake, but seemed to pay no attention to me, they were completely focused on each other. I walked past the fireplace to the other side of the room, there were 2 couples asleep, and one woman sitting by herself on the bed, looking scared, but happy to see me. I sat down on the bed beside her, and she embraced me, we lied down on the bed and I fell asleep.

I wake up in the room where the chandelier has broken, there is blood on the floor from where I cut my foot, and glass still all over the place, I get out of bed making sure not to cut myself this time. I flick the light-switch, nothing happens. Walk into the hall, try those switches as well, still nothing, I mention my problem with the switches to someone who I cant really see, and all I get is a laugh in response, so I go back to my room and surprisingly, it was completely empty, and the floor had changed from white carpet to hardwood. At this point I do a nose pinch RC and instantly become lucid, I took several deep breaths while holding my nose closed, just to make sure.

My first thought was to get the hell out of the house, so I plunged my hand through the floor, and pulled myself face first into it. Once my whole body was through the floor, all I could see was complete darkness, with the occasional swirl of color, I must have been pulling myself through this state for a good minute and a half. Because my relative position in the house I was worried I might fall through into the staircase of bodies, but thankfully when I finally popped out of the darkness, I was in some sort of large drainage pipe, I was instantly swept away by the current, but thinking quickly I tried to fly up into the air. At first the current was too much to overcome, but I eventually managed to get myself out of it, I flew to the end of the pipe and was in the jungle I had seen previously, I could see the house a few hundred feet away, and flew in the opposite direction. I cant really describe what I saw on the sides of river, all the animals looked like 3d representations of impressionist art, I landed beside something that I can best describe as a tiger, but its fur had a soft white glow that seemed to be changing the tigers internal structure, almost as if it was made of liquid. I thought I would try and ride it, but the second I got close to it, it swiped my with its claws and I woke up (for real this time).

I'm trying straightforward WILD during the day and WBTB+WILD at night

I get very fast initial results with daytime WILD's. In well under 10 minutes I feel the grip of SP and all I have to do is drift a bit and the grip increases and a "rush" begins. I'm good now at not getting too "involved" in what happens and I sometimes get the yellowish colour. But I don't go anywhere. I lay there some more...then I get another wave.

Yesterday I got 8-10 "rushes" like that, within an hour, before I finally stopped because things weren't moving forward. Presumably the body doesn't normally have to experience multiple waves like that and I feel a bit frazzled for a while and I have a touch of what I call "twitchy eyeballs."

The WBTB + WILD at night is different. After about half an hour, I get comfortable (but not as easily as during the day interestingly enough) then I wander a little...and fall asleep

Presumably, during the straightforward WILD, not enough of me is falling asleep and, during the night-time WBTB + WILD ALL of me is falling asleep. I like trying for WILD during the day so I've got to find a way to induce more sleep and, at night, I've got to focus more...and probably wait longer for the "rush"

Ever onwards...

1. [non-lucid] [false-awakening?]
Was laying in my bed and for some reason I was holding a condom, I was very worried about my mum walking in so I tried to hide it but failed, the door opened and in came an extremely musculus guy, he was huge and he had a very thick neck, rather square head and walked slowly, he went into my bathroom.

Enough (DILD)

★★★★☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The waves came in hard, sweeping me off my feet. Swimming against the tide at an angle, I try to regain my footing near the shore, but the unusually steep dropoff made things exceptionally difficult. The best I can manage is to grab hold of my baby sister’s raft and circle my father who hadn’t been phased by the tide.

______________


I make chase. Through the palace, the ramparts, the temple--merely a game. By the end, I’ve claimed two of the three boars...but I had never been invited to play.

______________


A crowd had gathered. My father lay upon the throne, sword through his throat, feast laid before him--still alive. Tears hit my cheeks and anger welled from the pit of my stomach. The culprit stood near my dying father, cold, emotionless--I understood why. Falling to my knees at his side, he managed a smile, telling me not to worry, he had been bested and that was that. But I in turn consoled him, pledging vengeance, pledging to finish what he started, assuring him of my abilities.

And so I turned to the warrior without a name, the warrior who possessed skill enough to slay my father... The challenge I set forth: first to seven hits, or last alive. Solemnly, he agrees, pulling another sword from his side. I grab a pillow sitting beside the throne. In a flash he strikes, slashing high--jugular to hip. I step out, parry with the pillow, and push away. A quick turn precedes his follow-up, but I’ve already trapped the reverse-handed strike, allowing me to parry again and make a hit on his midsection. “Hit,” I clarify, now standing a few paces away, pillow in hand.

Surprised, he takes a more cautious approach, circling me slowly. “You don’t know what I can do.” I tease, almost mockingly, before teleporting behind him. But he’s ready for it, dodging my feathery attack while launching his own counter. I jump back, putting us both right where we started.

Dropping the pillow, I broaden my stance and stomp the ground forcefully, tossing up a few small stones into the air. With a few quick jabs, the stones fly towards him; two make contact. “Hit. Hit.” Sensing an opening, he closes in, but I move backwards gracefully, bending water from the earth to deflect his blows. I flick my fingers. “Hit,” and again “Hit,” the water splashes against his face.

Clearly flustered, he fights water with water, pulling it from the earth as I had done. But I capture it in the air, whipping it around in a gust of wind: “Hit.” And that was that. He walks over to congratulate me on my win, sword still in hand, but then I remember, That was only six. Before he can end it in a single blow, I teleport into a flanking position and strike him with another pebble, sealing my victory and fulfilling my pledge...
