    2. The Flying Man is over the Running Man

      by , 04-17-2013 at 10:09 PM
      Now this one guy in my dream was pissing me off. He had some canisters with him that had some kind of power, which he stole from the people. He was running away with them. These canisters looked like the ones from the MMO Star Wars Galaxies, missle packs. He had three of them. I finally cornered the guy at the edge of a cliff. The cliff ledge jutted out like a peninsula with the sheer dropoff on each side. This guy was so desparate to get away that in a last attempt he grabbed the canisters and dove off the side, falling to what should be his death. Finally in my frustration I went lucid. Knowing I could fly, I dove off after him and flew down to him faster than he could fall and grabbed him. I telekinetically levitated the canisters back up to the top of the cliff, then proceeded to have fun with the idoit. I flew up a ways, accelerating massively way faster than any man-made rocket could. Then I let the guy drop again. This time I caught him half way down, stopping him suddenly once more. I knew that the G-forces were really messing this guy up. Next I flew up into the stratosphere where the air got thin and we could see into space seeing the heavenly bodies. Then I just let him drop to burn up in the atmosphere on his decent.

      I just remember it being really nice at that level in the stratosphere, the dream views (pun intended) were really awesome! I had some fun on my own now that I had gotten rid of this guy. I flew back down into the thick air of the troposphere for a moment, then back up again to perhaps 300 miles above where I was looking at the moon and stars before I woke up.
    3. Daydreaming

      by , 04-17-2013 at 09:45 PM (My Lucid Dreams)
      So this is not quite a lucid dream but it' s really close to it and I hope to go from that to a lucid soon
      Today we had a huge test goin' on; we had 60 minutes to finish it and I finished early, so I decided to try the technique I' m working on ( a sort of WILD ) .

      It was around 11: 10 when I began, I know that because we just took the break that' s after 40 minutes of testing, and we were supposed to end at 30.

      I began thinking about other people in the class . After a while I look around and I was at the cafeteria, with some other kids. I thought about trying to transform the daydream into a lucid but I knew I was gonna wake up soon anyways, so I decided to wake up completely to see how much time have passed .

      It felt like a minute and an hour at the same time, I really had no Idea how much time I daydreamed; I look at the clock, it took me around 12 minutes to switch from completely awake to a very (very) vivid daydream - almost a lucid.

      I' ll try again tonight, I' m sure I can get a lucid dream with this.

    4. 19th Lucid Dream

      by , 04-17-2013 at 08:55 PM
      April 16, 2013 - 2/4 hours in - 5-10 minutes - WBTB, SSILD, RC

      I slept for two hours, then was awake for two hours, then did 6 SSILD cycles of gradually increasing length, then went back to bed and had this dream after 2 hours.

      I forget how I become lucid, other than that it was through inhaling through a closed nose.

      I tell four other people, two of whom I know in reality, to do the same thing. They do so and are shocked at the result. I tell them it was possible because we are in a dream. They let out a sigh a relief.

      Later I am in the kitchen. I remember my goal to break things of value. Other people are here and I tell them what I am going to do. They don't really want me breaking anything, and I remind them it is a dream. I then begin breaking various vases and plates that are in here. I throw each one on the floor, and part of it breaks realistically, but the largest portion remains unbroken. I pick up a brown one and they want me to skip that one, which I do, and I say that I skipped it just in case I am sleepwalking, although I don't really believe that is a possibility.

      I move on to my next goal of burning something of value. My memory of this part is not too good, but I am in the basement trying to burn something in the water heater burner. Other random burners fire out of the pipes near here.

      After this I am not sure what I should do next. I remember the third goal of driving around and smashing things, but I know attempts at driving a car ruined previous lucid dreams (twice). But it is all I can think of, so back upstairs, I go out to the garage while feeling in my pocket for the keys. I slightly feel what seems like the key ring, but I cannot make them appear.

      The door to the garage faces the garage door to the outside, unlike real life. My car is not here, but someone points out a garage door leading to another part of the garage. I open this door and my car is the same color, but a different shape, and says "PORSCHE" on the back! I am very happy about this, that I have a cool 'dream car.' I somehow have the keys and use the key to open the door.

      The seats are a medium-brown leather, and have a new-leather smell, making this the first time for me the sense of smell has been engaged in a lucid dream. I marvel at how real it seems. I rub my hands more often than usual during this part because I never got further than this before. I look for an ignition, a place to put the key, or a button, but there is nothing for starting the car. Something points to a little black plastic thing sticking out of a part of the dash, so I pull it out and it is just the right size to nestle a quarter in it. I do so, and the car starts. Whatever works, I guess.

      I finally did it! I back out of the garage and drive straight into the street. The street is not like any specific street in reality. It is wide and has highway lines painted on it, but the lines angle in and out, like there were turn lanes and so forth. The acceleration is unrealistically fast. I slow and turn right. I smash into a few objects, and I also smash into another car, with no damage or impact felt by me.

      During this part, lucidity and realism steadily falls. Driving and the scenery is more and more like a video game, but I don't notice at the time. I don't remember the scenery much, but I do remember a road turning into gravel and becoming a causeway high above the landscape, which even in the dream I remember as being like a video game.

      I get bored with this eventually and somehow end up back at home. P. is here just lazily sitting, and I am mad that he wasted his time in a lucid dream. Evidently at this point I am just barely lucid, not realizing that P. is not his real self, but just a dream character. Outside the window, three lanes of jammed traffic end abruptly in front of the house, with a truck carrying a large board game, or a sign with a picture of it. The game is called "Mike" and that name is written on the box in cartoony, orange letters. I recognize this as something I dreamed earlier (whether it actually was I don't know) and describe this to P. as something I dreamed earlier. He says he dreamed the same thing and I and someone else in this room am shocked at this. I ask the name of the game in his dream and he gives two other, random names, and then I 'know' he dreamed something different. I want to scold him for wasting his time in a lucid dream, but I don't get to it before I wake up.

    6. I Kinda Sorta Pranked You?

      by , 04-17-2013 at 07:19 PM (Ophelia's Book O' Fun II)
      Odd WILD. I crashed early after me and my boyfriend bow-chigga-bow-wowed, at about 10pm. I was really pooped from work. Anyway, I woke up a little before 2am because of a wee headache. I tried to go back to sleep, but all I could think about was the advil bottle in the kitchen. Which is probably a good thing, because then it forced me to get up, put on my pjs, get the advil and some water, then go back to bed. Then I was up maybe 20 more minutes waiting for it to kick in. I dozed off for a bit, then woke up again after what felt like maybe 10 minutes.

      Then I was primed for the vibrations. Fortunately I was in a better position then that last time when my breathing got weird. I think I forgot to post about that. Anyway, I let the vibrations wash over me, then I phased into a lucid dream like usual. I got out of bed and thought of the prank TOTM. I left the bedroom hoping to find maybe Chris and prank him, but I woke up super fast. Fortunately I was still in the same comfortable position, and I felt vibrations again. I phased easily into another LD again, and I was able to get up, leave the bedroom, go into Chris's bedroom where I found him asleep in his bed. I couldn't think of how to prank him in an April Fool's style. All I could think of was to scare him awake. So I grabbed him and yelled "BOO!!" He woke up and yelled lol. I tried to think of one of the advanced tasks but I jus couldn't I really wanted to do the coal task. Would have been perfect because I was already in my house, and I have Kingsford in my backyard. Dadgummit. I woke up before I could really do anything else.

      If it isn't one thing then it's something else haha. I was having trouble with the vibrations and transitions last couple weeks. Then I fix that, now my lucid memory stinks. It's really hard now that I work those 2 extra days a week. That's 2 less chances to LD the way I like, by sleeping in really late. On the bright side, these 2 short LDs happened between 2-3am, instead of my normal 7-10am. I don't get those very often so it's always a plus when I do.

    7. 4/17/13 - "2:17"

      by , 04-17-2013 at 05:23 PM
      Dream Fragment: I'm standing in a line waiting to buy myself lunch. An older man walks up to me and smiles, asking me if I believe in God. I smile back and say yes. He claps his hands together excitedly and begin to repeat verses of the Bible. My Grandpa walks up next to me and tells him to stop. He then says, "Do not share knowledge you aren't supposed to know". The man, in anger, walks away. My Grandpa smiles and says, "2:17". I smile back.


      I know there is a ton more of this that I can't remember. This bothers me. As for the "2:17" reference, I do not recall a specific book going along with that. So I looked up some of the "2:17" chapters in the Bible. Oddly enough, they all involve something important to me. Things I needed to know, I think.

      Acts 2:17 - 'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.'

      1 John 2:17 - 'The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.'

      James 2:17 - 'In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.'

      2 Peter 2:17 - 'These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.'

      Mark 2:17 - 'On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”'

    9. Dreamed I was Lucid?

      by , 04-17-2013 at 04:28 PM
      sleep at 1130/1200
      wake 3/330 - back to sleep ~4 minor waking ~5 and final waking at 9
      took some menthol last night at my first waking - meant to take like 30mg, but after the first cough drop i knew the others weren't going down. so, only got ~10mg. don't think it really effected my dreams. mb i'll just start making myself peppermint tea during a WBTB.

      ~5 Zombie dream - don't seem to remember much of it anymore (should have used more tags). Zeke (my cat) showed up in three different parts of the dream - just camping by my feet ((he seems to come into my dreams quite often - probably the most likely candidate for a 'shared dream', but no way of confirming it >_<)). i used a key or some other really small thing in my hand to try and pierce one of the Z's brain. It didn't penetrate deep enough, so I used a long pole to pierce the soft spot in the back of the throat and into the brain.

      Unknown time - I checked an alarm clock. Then I checked it again. The numbers kept being screwed up so I kept checking it. It kept being screwed up. So I figured 'oh, i must be in a dream'. the whole dream was in my apartment ((this is really odd - don't usually dream places that i'm in a lot. ex- i dream a lot of a house i grew up in, but i didn't dream of that house when i lived there)). I floated around a little - just playing with bodyless space. my mate was there as well - its like we were both disembodied ... he was complaining that he had been waiting for me to 'wake up' for a while.

      no idea if that was a true lucid that i lost very quickly or really was more of a 'dreamed i was lucid' situation. its... fuddled in memory.

    10. Handful of DS

      by , 04-17-2013 at 03:36 PM
      This journal entry will be more like a reminder to myself. I had about 5-6 dreams, all of them a more or less uneventful rehash of old places and people, that are clearly DS to me. Here's a brief summary:

      Dream1: My school again; this time it was about a forum for the school

      Dream2: My best friend from school was at our old place

      Dream3: My mom at another town from my past, we also went to KFC?

      Dream4: Strolling in my hometown

      Dream5: In front of my grandma’s place, then waiting for my grandma inside; some people in the neighbourhood were partying, listening to Gangnam style

      Fragment6: In a tea shop?
    11. The Mushroom Diamond

      by , 04-17-2013 at 03:35 PM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      I got back to sleep really annoyed because my son interrupted a WILD.

      I have and FA and am pissed because I didnt get lucid. I feel like I am somehow still in REM and can see that I am having strange colorful blogs in my peripheral vision. I think is hallucinations and confirm that its just REM. I decide I just need to take some choline and Ill have the boost I need.

      I got to the kitchen and look for my box that I keep all my supplements in. To my shock and horror I find thats its missing. All that I can think about is how much I spent on supplements this year and now its just all gone. I am so pissed. I see that its getting light out side and the clock is only a little past 4am. I think that if I can just find it and get back to bed Ill have time to dream before the alarm.

      I search everyplace I can think of in the house. I find several boxes that looks like my supplement box but they are either empty or full of random junk. I even wake my wife and get her to look. At some point I see the mailman through the window and find this odd. I slow down and start to think. As the dream begins to fade I become lucid.

      I wait to DEILD and the vibrations begin right away. I reach my feet out like tentacles reaching out. I find the floor and stand. For some reason I feel an uncontrollable urge to spin. As I do the dream destabilizes and Im in the void again. I try to feel the floor again and there is some mild feeling. Again, I spin beyond my control but this time I dont fight it. I see a blur of light and color and strain to see something form. There is a slight tilting sensation.

      I dont remember what happened here but I think I lost lucidity for a moment. I am in my house then front yard. something about my parents being there.

      Fully lucid now I am standing in the yard looking at the empty rock house on the corner. I appreciate the full broad daylight for a moment then decide to break in and see what I find. I rush to the side of the house and there are what look like wooden barn door. I do a flying kick and bust the doors open.

      I pause remembering my tasks. I quickly draw a stick figure standing in a doorway with my finger. I step back to make sure it looks right. I faintly see it drawn in black graphite. Looks fine to me.

      I step in the doorway but notice how dark it is. I summon a flash light from my back and click it on. There is no beam but the house is dimly lit now. It looks like and empty dirty old barn with dirt floors. I decide not to go the rest of the way in.

      I walk back to my yard and remember the diamond task. I look around and see a large lump of coal about the size of a baseball by the curb. I pick it up and press my hands over it. I imagine heat and pressures focusing my energy into it. I walk around to keep the dream flowing so I dont wake up. I notice the dodge leaving in my peripherals. It pauses. I realize my wife is leaving with my patents and they are waiting for me. Let it go. The car moves on. Now I feel the coal collapse a little and dust tumbles out.

      I open my hands expecting a diamond. Black dust falls out along with a small diamond. I hurry and pick it up afraid to lose it. It looks like a diamond but shaped like a mushroom with a stem. I notice the front door is open and my living room has white tiles. I throw the diamond at the glass storm door intending to break it but the dream dissolves and I decide its time to DJ.

    12. 17/04/13 - surreal nightmare - music video

      by , 04-17-2013 at 02:33 PM (vignettes from a different world)
      i was directing a music video with my mind. i do not remember what the music actually sounded like but i recall thinking it was like the doors. the vocals and lyrics were very prominent. the music was vivid and complex as it always is in my dreams. the lyrics were about some kind of drug hallucination or delirium.

      the music video was set in a darkened suburban area, on someone's lawn. the colour scheme was mainly dark blue and black. the lead singer was dancing around erratically while i caused strange imagery to manifest. there were many of these strange images but i only recall a few. at one point there were cloth-like, lumpy growths swirling around the branches of a tree, disappearing and reappearing. later, there were unfamiliar people standing in rows and i caused their faces to distort. after doing this for a while the dream scene unexpectedly went black and an image of a humanoid figure with a bright red, glowing circle for a head and an ill-defined glowing yellow body appeared. i felt a jolt of intense fear unlike anything i have experienced in waking life. i screamed loudly in the dream but my screams sounded muted and distorted. i wondered if i was screaming in real life. soon afterwards i woke up. (i wasn't).
    13. Dream Journal Entry 10: Two fragments -04-17-2013-

      by , 04-17-2013 at 01:10 PM (The Land of Dreams - SilentEternity's Dream Journal)
      Two fragments.

      Dream 1 (fragment): I was brushing my teeth, and one of my friends was in the bathroom with me, also brushing his teeth.

      Dream 2 (fragment): The Starbound beta had been released, and I was playing it - though it only vaguely resembled it. I appeared in some tower, jumped around a bit, went to the right, found a cliff, mined some gems (diamonds, and what appeared to be rubies), fell down a pit, broke something, got an item, and got attacked by flying headcrabs.

    14. Crying Ghost And The Wandering Hands? + ROBLOX TRANSONIC DOWNLOADING SPEED AND CRASHES?!?

      by , 04-17-2013 at 12:49 PM
      [B]I was walking downstairs to go on the computer, (Mainly to play Minecraft) but the weirdest thing happened. As I sat down in the chair, the chair started to ride and float in mid-air, a screaming and crying ghost was screaming at me, "BOOO!!!!", then my sister randomly just spawns on the floating chair beside me. But then everything just shuts down, like a power-outage. The chairs both fall and hit the floor. I ran upstairs to hide but then I suddenly just stopped and went back downstairs, I had a view of the other computer room, their were these two hands, just two hands, no arms or anything, the hands were wearing orange gloves, but the weirdest thing they were doing, they were sharpening a pencil... Using a scanner...[/B]
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      [B]I was downstairs for some reason trying to install[/B] [B][I][U][COLOR="#FF0000"]ROBLOX[/COLOR][/U][/I][/B][B] I have no idea why, because I quit that game and moved to Minecraft, but then I was gonna download a new driver, the computer crashed, a huge window opened and a crap-load of files just popped up and it said files from the new graphics driver were gonna be installed, it was crazy, they were downloading faster then anything I've ever seen in my life. But after all of this downloaded I opened ROBLOX and right as the window opened. I woke up.[/B]

      :P Weird dreams huh?
    15. Fragments after night of trying too hard: fortress/igloo and pawning off inflatable mattress

      by , 04-17-2013 at 11:41 AM
      To bed around 9:30 pm

      11:00 1st awakening of night. No dream recalled. Remembered to check reality.

      1:00 no dream, but before moving I though that it would probably be 12:30 since I remember last waking up at 11pm. It was actually about 1. Did reality check.

      4:00 my son is learning how to ride a bike, so the bike and my son were prominent in this dream fragment. It was definitely visual. Not sure whether or not there was a plot. Non lucid, no sense of self - more like watching a movie, no awareness. Reality check upon waking up

      Got up to go to bathroom and drink a bit of water. Will try WILD. Did some simple arithmetic in my head to make me a bit more aware - caught myself mistake 2+2=3! So not fully functional brain, but good that caught it. Ok, now going back to bed:

      Auto suggestion: "I fall asleep aware. I dream. I taste something in dream. I fly. I reality check after wake up. I remember my dream."

      Was trying too hard and could not fall asleep for the longest time.

      When I did I had a bunch of fragments:

      Something about my older son's school

      A really neat impressive fortress/igloo made out of plastic but then with snow piled up on top. Huge and very vivid. A mother being shown this fortress, was asked, "So you never come out here with your sons?" Her answer "I did not realize before that they do arts and crafts out here." And I had the sense she meant: I could not care less unless arts and crafts are involved, but now that I know, it's of interest to me too. I just remembered while I was looking at the outside of this snow fortress, I thought "Wow, this is so vivid!" That thought only makes sense if I was at the brink of being lucid - if part of me knew it was a dream, but just had not consciously acknowledged.

      My husband and I tried to pawn off an inflatable mattress to some college students, who could not care less. We realized in hindsight that while we left the mattress there, we forgot to include the pump. The students were male, and their dorm only had three walls with one wall open to the outside - so not much of a shelter. At some point I thought that maybe this was not their dorm, but just a place they hung out, but they did appear to sleep there too, and I remember bunk beds. I had the thought that they might be members of a musical band, but don't know why.
