Dream - Lucid

For some reason, I decided to take a shower in my mom's shower instead of mine. Even in the dream, I wasn't exactly sure why I was doing it, but I didn't question it too much. Most of the dream was just me showering in my mom's shower.

~

I was in my house. Out the window, I noticed a glimpse of my brother mowing the lawn. He was wearing a red shirt.

Then, I was with my brother in the kitchen. I was messing with an egg. He then said "Oh wait!" and pulled a narrow-looking egg out of a cloth shopping bag. He gave it to me, and I noticed it felt very light and was dyed blue. I wondered it if was hard-boiled and if I could eat it, but decided not to when another thought came into my head: He probably did it for Easter.
"Dying eggs?" I asked.
"Yes!" he replied.

Alright, so I recalled a bit more. I didn't really do anything different, like I was gonna try Xanous's suggestion to write down the events of the day before I went to bed, but I forgot. I'll have to try that tonight.

I got home very late this night. I had been at an amusement park all day and I was very tired so I didn't thought I would remember any dreams, but I had some interesting experiences. =)

[COLOR="royalblue"]The first dream was kind of weird. Me and some friends had in some way got our hands of 180, 000, 000 $! I think those who had steal it accidentally gave us the wrong bag or something. I were not in my home country, I think I was in Yugoslavia, and I had all the money in my house. I hear the door bell and intuitively knew that it was the police, and when my mom opened the door I took the bag and hid in a closet. It was the police and I calmly talked to them and pretended that I had no idea what they were talking about when they mentioned the money.We wondered what we was going to do with the money and if we could use it at all. We was afraid that there might be fake money in it or something and that we would get caught if we used it, so I went to a bank with some money from the bag and told them I wanted it on my bank account. We were super nervous. But then the dream changed.

The next dream was also very weird, it was almost like it tired to teach me something.
I had a dream where I was a super loner and very geeky and I hang around with some of my friends.
Then I got superpowers for some reason and I didn't hide them, so I got super cool and super popular and got lots of new "cool" friends. All the super hot bimbos and all the cool popular guys. Then everything just rewind I am back where the dream began and only the true friends remained.

I then had some dream about me looking up into the night sky, and I suddenly see a light blue jellyfish looking object floating around in the sky. I think to myself "cool an alien ufo." and I look through some binoculars to get a better view.
But as I do lots of other shaped ships appear and they didn't looked manmade.
[COLOR="blue"]I realize that it is a dream and I think to myself "Ok now I am going to find Iapetos!" but then I for some stupid reason think that I will scream in my real life as well.. This thought have crossed my mind before while dreaming. And it's like a curse.. So I didn't screamed instead I lost my lucidity...[/COLOR]
People on the street now saw the ships and started to panic "Ahhhh it's an alien invasion." I just kept standing there calm as the ships crash-landed near me.
I then saw one of the aliens, but it didn't look as I expected "green with a big head." Instead it looked more predator type like, but not scary and not threatening and a different skin.

I remember that my last dream ended while I was typing on a black t-shirt "Trust me!", then I woke up. [/COLOR]

I'm in a hotel. I go over in another building for some reason (also like a hotel). I have red swim shorts on and a towel wrapped around me. I go up to the 6th floor in an elevator. I'm in like the "main room", there are a lot of things there. I think there was like some mail service, and there was a shower. I go back to my hotel, and back to the other building. My mom comes with me to the 7th floor looking for the main room, but I forgot it was on the 6th. There are like 13 floors. My mom isn't with me anymore. I press ground floor I think, and someone else in the elevator presses 13. It goes up really fast, and down really fast. Scarily fast, as if there was something wrong.

Sometime later.

I have to open something with a hotel key. I don't have mine, or even one for this building. I wave my hand over the top, and it shows green but doesn't open. I do it again, and it does open.

I'm back in the elevator with Michael and some other mom. She tells us that her boys will be getting on soon, so we need to find the best place to hide when they get in there (?) There is no where. It's just an elevator. I look up and there are like water pipes, except they look really fragile. Michael jumps, as if to climb up there. The water turns on =.= Woke up.

I was sneaking up behind an argonian male who was dragging an alligator to the sewers. The argonian went through a door, let the alligator stay on the other side of the door and then locked the door with two locks. When I knew he was gone, I opened the door so that the alligator should go in there and eat him. But the alligator was more interested in following me, so I walked away.

I did it again. I had another full LD. A bit of good news too. In this LD, I remembered to try what some people on DV suggested. Um... I tried to imagine myself in a grass field, but it didn't work... More of a good thing though, My physical strength increased in the dream a bit. I was able to lift my arm completely off the bed. I don't know why I did it, but who cares, it worked. LOL Still progress. I think I'm getting physically stronger in my LD's now. (And I looked up the LD terms, and the LD's that I've been having are WILDs) o.o

Ok now about the actual dream... I was in a bedroom again... only this time, it actually kinda did look like my bedroom, except everything in the room was rearranged. The windows, the TV, the stereo. All of them were in different locations, and it was actually kinda bright in the room this time too.

I'm getting better at these already

Something odd happened last night. I don't know whether it counted as a 'ludic' or not, mainly because it happened the second I fell asleep. I remember tossing and turning a lot because it was a hot night, but once I settled down, this dream popped into my brain immediately.

I was standing on a cliff overlooking some sort of tropical forest, and I saw a few creatures in front of me.

I immediately recognised them as Leavanny, and I became certain that I was dreaming. Sure enough, I actually tried the poke-through-the-palm and it went straight through with no pain or sensation at all!
The Pokemon started attaching large leaves onto their forearms and jumping off the cliff, using them as wings (incidentally, this is not something that Leavanny can normally do!) I decided that I wanted to try doing this too, so I grabbed a pair of enormous leaves and held them...somehow...to my arms.

I think I jumped off the cliff, I'm not sure. In any case, I didn't get the chance to see if I could fly. The dream crashed and I sunk into a relatively dreamless and completely non-lucid sleep for the rest of the night.

Alright..Here we go about a little nightmare-ish dream I had a few days ago.(As I said, it was a few days ago, so it is a little patchy, bear with me)

The first thing I see is this normal living room, in a nice house, in the country. The room was cool, had large front windows, except one thing: It was empty. I was standing in the middle of what I can already sense was a real old, huge house. I start hearing conversations with my mom about the house being a beautiful house, that we obviously just moved in, there were some stuff there left by the previous owner(whatever happened to them, I am scared to know...), the house was welcoming, but it didn't sit right with me. As I go looking about the home(Which was not but 3 rooms that I saw), I got more and more story about that house. The stories were unintelligible, I couldn't make out/remember what was being said, but I thought I heard a rumor about a haunting in it, maybe that's where I got the creepy feeling. Next thing I remember is it skipped a few days, and I ended up in this giant room upstairs that looks like a catholic cathedral. The issue with this room, was it was almost 100% dark, no lights. The only lights in here were light seeping in from nearby bedrooms and dim light from other invisible sources. It was enough to see barely forward, but it was pitch black at the roof.
The cathedral was beautiful, but so empty, it felt sad instead of joyful. In the center was a sink(Probably supposed to be an alter, now that I think about it) with about 3 really old china, that needed a wash. I was elected to clean them, and I was pretty much alone anyway at this point. I didn't feel threatened per se, but it was definitely creepy, as it was dark. The realtor told me as she left the room that there were these two figurines on the sink, to the right. She said if these ever, EVER look away from each other, that it would be very bad.
I stare at them the whole time I wash the dishes, and I feel more and more creeped out by them. I guess they reminded me of Weeping Angels from Doctor Who as if you stop looking at them, they move. I finished the dishes, looked away for a sec at the doorway(there were two, one went to bedroom(s), the other I have no clue), when I looked back I tripped, when I got back up the statues were looking toward me at an angle, not in a threatening way, they had no expression, but I knew I was in deep trouble. I must have bumped the sink platform thing as I tripped.
I get so filled with fear that something might happen that I start walking out, but just then, I fall over crippled with a full body numbness(I assume sleep paralysis in real life?). It lasts a few seconds, then I get over it. I run out of that cathedral, and fall in the hallway outside that had two bedrooms there. I hear the loudest, creepiest sound from the bedroom, and I can't get back up. I anticipate the worst. What comes out is this wind-up toy(You know like the little robots?) that looked like a train with a demon/dragon(couldn't tell) face on it. It reminded me of a bug as it slithered toward me, but I run down the stairs, and straight into the living room. Here I tell mom about what happened, just as another comes behind me. I stomp on it and throw it out the window, but another one is on the window. Now I fear it is a full-blown infestation. We somehow skip the night, and I go outside, screw this creepy as hell house.
What I see outside is a fresh, August, Saturday morning. What does it look like? Hundreds of tall thin trees with no leaves. It appears to be the fall season, late August maybe, and makes me even more creeped out. I ask how we leave, and I am told by helicopter. I am thinking "Okay, then we will just call them to take us away from here!". Yeah right..It is a Saturday, they refuse to fly to us on the weekends. We are trapped here. I hear a river, and I decide "Lets go to it." I forgot to mention, my bro was there with my mom in the living room the whole time in the dream. Now as we are all outside this house, the house feels like it was never there. It was a bad memory, but I never look back to see if it was still there. We find the river, and here is the sight: There is a canoe, overturned, by some boulders to the left, across the embankment(it was about 40 feet across, from where we were, to the other side), there was an American flag to the right on our side, and to me that was a good sign, at least we are in America. I climb a tree, well lets be honest, I found myself atop a tree after making the decision to be up it, and saw we were trapped on a remote island. There was no other island in sight, we were on a pretty big island, with obviously the only thing on it what I already described. I figured the canoe was our only option to do at least something. (I am now on the ground, next to mom and bro)I say "Hey, I can levitate, I will fly to the other side, get the canoe, and bring it back. I will get it to you, and we can all ride in it."
I jump into the air, and get about 5 feet until I start getting blown by the winds. I am going higher higher, lower, left, right, any direction. The wind came out of nowhere, affected only me, and I was hopeless. I finally will myself to be near the flag, I grab onto it, pull myself closer to the pole, then force myself down, shimmying to the ground. I touch ground and say, "I am never doing that again, I guess we are trapped."
The dream promptly ended.

Well, that's about it for my first dream here, I have had a few in the past, but I thought I'd share this one. It was entirely non-lucid, not entirely vivid(I couldn't feel anything aside from the flag(barely), and the numbness in the cathedral room.) but it was pretty memorable, I gotta say. This happened about a week ago, and has been on my mind ever since. It was not a nightmare, but was pretty freaky/creepy. I never had sweats, shaking, fast heartbeat, or quick awakening when I woke up.
By the way, the floating thing is a recurring theme in my dreams, which I hope to turn into a dream sign. When it happens, it happens in almost all my dreams, it is usually as I leave a building or van, I just levitate into the air, sometimes I can control it, most of the time I cannot. I try going upside down, sideways, doing different hand motions, etc to get back down..It can be scary, as I turn upside-down trying to grab a hand or roof or something to grab onto, but I am too slow and drift into the sky. Perhaps one day I can make it to automatically signal lucidity.

blue = day activity before sleep
dark orange = dream
red = lucid dream
Black = thoughts/notes

I kept the REM dreamer guide in my pocket and occasionally read the "REM dreamer signals inside a dream" part and visualized myself in those situations plus becoming lucid. I also did reality checks.
These are the dream fragments. I don't remember much because I had a restless night because my summer vacation ends tonight and I'll be at work tomorrow.
I again dreamed about my childhood school (what's up with that?) All the schools and classmates along my life had been mixed together in a one "blob" which had anything to do with the word association "school". Our class was discussing about some type of a school trip to somewhere. I had somehow driven to school with my current car (renault megane classic) and with a Toyota landcruiser. Some other dudes had crashed into my Toyota and the front right door had ripped off... It started snowing when I was examining the damage... I woke up soon after.
I think I had one or two false awakenings because the "REM dreamer" was not responding, until I woke up for real later that night.

I need to concentrate harder in this!

I've been absent from dreamviews for a while and unfortunately I've been terrible about the lucid dreaming attempts. I thought dreamviews was gone and two nights ago I randomly decided I would start dreaming again and I look on the internet and find dreamviews again. Glad to be here, on my second attempt at mastering my dreams.

#1

Me and laurens family were camping and somebody (I forgot who) was driving and I was trying to teach them how when they somehow ran into a model plane that was in the sky. We drove away as fast as we could but pretty soon we were arrested. I forget a lot of what happened when I was arrested, but soon we were released and I went back to the camper that we were staying in and lauren's dad shot me in the chest. I looked down and my shirt was off and the bullet was partially sticking out of my chest. I touched it and it started gushing blood.

Just now getting back into re-learning how to become lucid, when I found an entry I made about my VERY first lucid dream a few years back.

I was walking in a snow covered area of some mountain. People were all around me cheering something about how happy they were that some event was going on. They were cheering for me? What had I done? "Hooray, the monster is dead!". I had slain something? I turned my head towards a part of the mountain that had been caved in. HOLY CRAP! I killed that thing?! It was a dragon the size of a battle cruiser. In my dream I said out loud, "whoa whoa, I've gotta be dreaming". From that exact moment, I took control. I told myself not to get too excited, as I was scared it would wake me up. I remembered reading online some cool tricks to try out when lucid. I started running and jumped in the air...and...hit the ground hard. "Damn, let's try that again with a little more confidence" I say out loud. I run, jump in the air, and blast off at ridiculous speeds. The crowd goes wild LOL. I see more dragons approaching, smaller, but coming after me. I inhale air...and shoot focused giant waves of air at the dragons, slicing into their scales. After they're taken care of, I close my eyes and teleport to a random city. I land, get far too excited and then wake up. Flying, to say the least, was fun on a whole other level...man oh man.

This one is from a page in a journal I wrote down a few years back, but wanted to post it on here.

I rose in the dream to the sound of screaming. An unrecognizable voice was near me saying something I couldn't understand...what's she saying? "GET THE F*** UP, WE GOTTA GO!" I snap to, taking in my surroundings with what little time I have upon me. I'm on a mountain in what looks like a campsite. Like some dreams, the beginning seemed unclear to me, yet I was not lucid so I was unaware I was dreaming at all. I look to find my wife shaking me trying to get me up. Within those first couple seconds, I finally remember what was going on. A group of people had attacked others in the campsite. The air was filled with disturbing moans, almost deafening like the sound of cicadas. I get up and we start running for our lives towards another cabin that had been used for supplies among the campers in the site. A couple gun shots go off, hand guns it sounds like. I turn in shock as I watch four rounds pierce the chest of one of the moaning people. That shock quickly advances to horror as the shot individual gets up and bites the shooter, literally chewing his neck out. What the hell is going on, I think to myself…
We make it to the cabin and I start rummaging through the drawers looking for anything we can use as a weapon. I run to the rooftop and my wife is helping some survivors tend to their wounds. I tell her to take them across the sky ride attached to the roof (I don’t know what the hell it was doing there but how convenient lol).“If ANYTHING comes through that door that’s not…regular, don’t hesitate to get your ass down the mountain” I tell her. I run back downstairs and barricade the door best I can, knowing that if I need to return to the roof, I can scale the wall from outside or break down the barricade myself. I turn around to arms barely a few inches from grabbing me; I pull out my long knife and slash at them just enough to knock them away. They’re swarming the cabin, but they don't seem tp know to go through the door leading to the sky ride. They’re focused on me and they’re coming through the door. I dart towards the window, jumping through it taking a few cuts and bruises in replacement of what would’ve been my demise.
I run down one of the paths, dodging and juking out any of these “things” that are reaching out to eat me. There’s so f****** many of them… I reach my destination after a few minutes and my little brother is with my mom, dad, and little sister in another cabin. Thankfully there are only four of them outside, but I still have to keep my guard up. I reach in my jacket and pull out a .357 that I apparently had with me this whole time (lol). I take out four extra rounds in my jacket pocket, reassuring myself I have a little more ammo after the next couple shots. I take them out of the house, only to find something else going on outside. More gunshots? Those are automatic weapons though, and more than one… we stealthily make our way back to the original cabin with nobody inhabiting the place, as they’ve all moved somewhere else for the moment’s time. I remove the barricade and we head for the sky ride, my wife waiting for us with the other survivors. We get on and we start taking the sky ride down the mountain. We get to the bottom of the mountain, surrounded by fog…not fog…smoke? Past the smoke is a city engulfed in flames and chaos. I remember a map faintly in my head from when the camp instructor told us about the sky ride…and because I did, I realized that the place we needed to be, a safe zone if you will, was on the other side of the city…

Two friends and I found dead bodies in an ally, covered in giant spider webs. We used tracking skills, leading us into an abandoned warehouse. When we walked into the center of the room, hundreds of cat-like creatures honed in on our position across the ceiling. They leaped down to the floor where we were, mutating in mid-air...human upper bodies emerged from the cats where the head would be. We pulled out our bladed weapons, which seemed to grow larger with mental thought. The fight was on, as we battled these hundreds of creatures. Few were left, as the remaining tried to run for the door. At inhuman, almost instantaneous, speed I flew across the room to meet two of the attackers head on...superman punching one through a wall and another through a steel framed door. I immediately thought to myself...why did I need the sword? This is where this dream ended, LOL.

My most memorable/favorite LD's so far:

I was in a VERY detailed 1930's theatre/hotel complex, and a huge party was going on. I decided to go exploring, to see how well I'd constructed the environment. I was amazed to see how large the building actually was, and that I'd actually been able to lay it out in a logical manner. Also, I finally accomplished making windows and skylights!!!!

------------
I was on a 1930's style shuttle bus going down a dirt road towards a aircraft landing strip, that for some reason included a lighthouse along with the hanger/control tower. I finally was able to jump out of a first-person view.

-------------
I was in a long hallway made entirely of dark jade, with dim lighting, and only a few large heavy wooden doors. Very ominous feelings, and I couldn't make it to the door at the end of the hallway before I woke up.

-------------
I was able to finally construct an outdoor environment; a beachfront market in what looked like southern France. Yet another appearance by a lighthouse, but at least in this scenario it fit with the scenery.

-------------
I was in a large art deco style building complex, with a large lighthouse at the center, the building contained an immense library, and very "steampunk"-ish computer consoles. I mostly just walked around.

I don't remember much about this dream because I didn't have time to right it down while I was on vacation. Anyways..

I was late to school and I was listening to music playing on my phone via Pandora. I was standing just outside of the class I was late to. I was trying to turn off the music that was playing so that I could go to class but whenever I tried to do something on my phone it would open up a different app or do something wrong. Then I got a text from some girl named Taylor Johnson. The text was asking me how I got to school all I remember from it was it asking if I jogged to school. I thought to myself, nope I drive to school and then started to wonder how she had gotten my phone number. (Even though she was a contact in my phone apparently, otherwise her name wouldn't have shown up.) But I didn't care that much because it was a girl that I apparently knew and liked. I finally got my phone to cooperate and turned Pandora off and then I walked into the classroom.

I walked into what looked my art class but it was arranged differently and had a different teacher. I apologized to her for being late and then sat down. At my congregation of desks there was a blonde girl in a blue dress. I thought to myself this girl in a dress like that, I must be in a dream. And then I realized that I in fact was. After becoming lucid I was instantly attacked by a Jamaican. I didn't really have time to think so I broke a wooden pencil in half and began to use it like a weapon with each piece in my hand as if they were batons. He was throwing punches at me and I was blocking them with my forearms and I eventually got him to the ground. He told me that he was a Jamaican nationalist and that he had a bomb inside of his leg. He preceded to explain to me his reason for his attack, but I don't remember anything he said. He then told the people inside of the classroom something like if they allowed him to detonate his bomb that they would be saved or something to that effect. Some of them cheered and were yelling to blow it up. I was dragging him away from the table that I was sitting at telling him that I wouldn't let him kill those people.

It got put to a vote whether to detonate it or not by two different teachers, the one who's class I was in and another teacher named Ms. Sac. The vote ended up 17 to 14 with Ms. Sac winning and the bomb not being detonated. Then I saw a picture of Ms. Sac, an old woman with a sewing machine, and an echoing voice started saying Sac, Sac, Sac like she had won at laser-tag or something. After this I don't think anything else happened.

Spoiler for Dream plot:

A castle with zombies and pranking a teacher.

Coming soon
