I tried one more technique that got alot of great results. and low and behold, it worked! and I believe I became lucid almost casually. There were 3 dreams that I remember, 4 in total. And I woke up after each one but went back in. The most awesome part about this is that I remember the transition from one of the dreams to the next perfectly. So I know where the plot was now unlike last time.

The Dream:
The first dream included a house that I went to before in the past, and it looked exactly the same as before as well. the events inside were strange, but that's all I could make out.

The 2nd dream included me running around a small city I've never seen before. And apparently there were people chasing me around the city. It got to a point where the car I was in (from an old playstation video game called Driver) wasn't cooperating at all as the cops were coming down that road that I was on. So I abandoned it and found a building with a ladder up against the side. I climbed up the ladder and on to the roof, and I looked around and noticed that there were alot of people hanging out here. I suddenly said to myself. "You know, this would be a great place to be when I'm lucid."

Just then something happened with the dream and I felt like I was awake again, but I was still in the dream. While I was standing there I just had a thought to immediately try something extravagant again. Then that threw me into a spinning 3rd person view and I gave up. I think I was still awake, but eventually the rest of the dream continued on to the 3rd one. But before hand, while I was still on the roof, there were these weird looking female characters, some of which were similar to each other. They looked like RPG characters or something. I remember one (which was supposed to be my character apparently) was talking, and she sounded kind of ticked, then I thought up a previous version of her. The voice changed, and she sounded better.

The dream transitions with the plot when I get caught by the cops, and they take me to the people that was running from. I wound up going though their trials in various rooms against other people. I don't know what the rules were, all I know is that the first guy let me have this win after alot of effort to try and beat him in whatever we were doing. Then after that I continued on out, and the next room had Woopie Goldberg in it. I wondered what was going on, and she told me that this was the resting period. She was sitting at a table in a part of the room that transitioned into a kitchen. The kitchen was lit by its own florescent ceiling light that gave the kitchen that typical lime-ish, yellow-green look. She was sitting there wearing something weird and looked like she was picking at something on a plate. She offered something to eat and I wondered (yeah I wonder what) sarcastically because as it was I was already in a Gladiator trial of some sort, and these people were as crazy as the ones from "Hunger Games". How I knew that I don't know. Afterwards I looked around and saw a familiar section of the room, it was the red section of this room, and it had a TV and various things around it that looked interesting. Then I woke up.

My question is, why is it that I suddenly feel as if I woke up and went back into the dream? Is that the lucidity kicking in? Because if it is, then why didn't it feel like the very first one I had? The first one I had felt a little different, more like I was just as aware as I would be in waking life, then I went into the usual tailspin because I got exited. But twice now I felt like I woke up, then went back to sleep, and I continued the dream knowing that I was dreaming. But I know I didn't do this, I know I stayed asleep. I'll post up the 1st lucid experience so I can show the difference.

But other than that I found a method, and now I'm going to hit this full force until I have lucidity. BOO YEAH!!

I don't remember the beginning of my dream, but I was in school, as in the dream the school year had started again. Despite it being my usual school, it was somehow different... Specifically, it suddenly had a lot of really attractive guys in it. We were doing some sort of introduction thing in my class and it didn't take long, but we'd stay and wait until the attractive people would finish their classes in order to see them. I thought it was silly - the whole situation reminded me of manga bishonens that had swarms of girls following them everywhere. I was wondering whether I would be able to woo any of them(there wasn't a lot of distinction between them...). I made a note of some sorts to one of the guys that I was waiting for. I'm not sure what it was, but it was something supposedly useful for him, like a mini calendar?? Anyway, by the time the hot guy came by, it was already quite late. I saw him and his group of fangirls(It was much smaller than most times of the day, but it was still at least 7 girls) and ran after him. I said I had something to give him, so he stopped(his fangirls continued walking without noticing?). At first I gave him the wrong note and he got confused, but then I realized I'd dropped the real one. I ran back and found it, then gave it to him. His fangirls were pretty far by then, I was concerned that he wouldn't be able to catch up to them. I apologized for it being just a silly thing. He looked at the note I gave him, seemed like he was a bit confused and forcing a smile, but he was still much nicer than you'd expect of a person of his popularity. He said bye to me and went home... without his fangirls. Then I realized I should've just drawn him something cute instead, since it would've made a much better impression U_U

It had gotten really late by the time this was over, so I went home. However, I got lost since the dream city isn't at all similar to the real city I live in and I was trying to navigate it like the real one... I rode a bus that went the wrong way and ended up in this pedestrian alley crossroads thing. I got completely stuck, not sure which direction I should go to when these people appeared. They seemed to be lost too or something? They became my companions for the rest of the dream. We went to this dead-end alley to see what was in there, but while in there the theme of the surroundings changed... we were still in a city, but it was old and really weird. I don't remember what exactly the deal with it was, but it made me think of a video game(dragon age maybe?) for some reason. I don't remember a big chunk of this, but we went around the city some more and weird things were happening. I was a girl and there were... antennae things on my head? I was feeling really warm, then I realized there was heat underground and I was supposed to release it somehow? Me and my little dream brother went around these heat pipes, randomly popping up in people's houses and luring them inside??? A heat surge hit my brother(he was chibi-sized) and he grew up to be a man. I was looking at a colorless globe of the earth and someone was speaking to me. Said the old man, the storyteller had intended my brother to be a grownup to begin with(he was crafting a legend and trying to make it true...? like he was creating a game?), and imagine his dismay when he got that pipsqueak instead...! I don't remember any more.

Reggie And The Dangerous Road (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID


I'm at my new house, and my sister opens the front gate to test it. As soon as I realise the danger, I see my dog, Reggie, run out across the busy road.

He stands excited on the other side of the road amongst some bushes, looking like he's about to cross again.

I run towards him, shouting at him to stay, and pick him up just in time.

I had dreams all night and I only remember the last on im in an arena and im walking thru a crowd and line up by the walls and see trap doors on the floor and im carrying a box full of plants and im talking to two guys about the rules. Another short one I had im scraping dandruff off my head and I just gave myself a buzz cut yesterday.

As I write my waking journal aka my day diary, I notice I didn't record one more dream that I have this morning and I search in my dream book to find the dream record. And I found none of the said dream.

But I swear I record it in my book. It turn out I actually record them in my dream? As I woke up in the dream I also think how I want to translate it in English. Am I capable of doing something like that? And I'm not mastering Lucid Dream yet. Also my subconscious already messing around with my reality without me notice?

And the dream went like this:

I'm in a car arrive at a road toll where we pay to get through. And I took out my card to pay and it suddenly turn into ATM. As I want to work the panel I was being push forward. Wha...? I was being push into another ATM machine and I assume my card at the back would be transfer forward too but again I was being push forward to the next ATM. Only at the third ATM I finish my money withdrawal.

And I assume I woke up after that and record the dream above and I didn't notice that I actually inside a dream too.

In my dream book I only note that I have a dream before the tunnel dream. I wrote; I was at home but doing what? I guess that's when I dream it.

I was playing The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Well... it was supposed to be Wind Waker. I thought it was.

Anyway, I was somehow playing as Zelda, but she was wearing Link's outfit (I know there was a reason, but I can't remember why). Soon, the dream switched to first-person, like I was in the game.

The first dungeon of the game was a school, and it was very easy to get lost. Also, I had apparently teamed up with the Mane Six, who were with me now.

There were hints as to who the first boss was. One of the hints had something to do with Girl Scouts, and the other was that she "hates kindergarten". For some reason, I briefly suspected Rainbow Dash, but I doubted it was her because she was on my team.

Suddenly, I was back in my room (and out of the game) My mom told me that she knew who the first boss was - Bekah.

All of a sudden, all I could see was the image of her against a white background. I recognized her as one of the NPCs back on Outset Island.

Actually, she looked exactly like a six-year-old girl from my church, who is also named Bekah. She even had an older sister named Hannah, just like Bekah from church does.

Someone lead me to a beautiful palace. What stunned me there was the colourful and beautiful tile pattern. It have roses pattern with white smoke.

*******

I encounter a king by accident. My friends and I were having conversation with him and suddenly he talk to one of my friends. As they talk we realise that she was a princess which country was destroy.

Then the sultan retreat with her sending him away.

********

Next I was at the top of a building. It was night and I look below where neon and car lamp were beautifully visible from above.

I was at home thinking about how I was being offer to act in a love story movie. The offer was for me to be the lead heroin.

But I refuse the offer.

Someone take me to a city. As I recall, he want to manage something important that involve politics.

The city have a lot of skyscrapers' buildings. So the person who brought me to the city and I want to enter a building. There's a lot of people there and I was being separate from him. I saw him enter an elevator and I wait for another elevator. I guess there was someone else who walk with me behind.

So, when an elevator was available I was ready to enter it but I can't. Because, to enter the elevator I need to through a small device that look like an engine cylinder. I need to imagine myself to become small so I can enter into the cylinder. That way only could I enter the elevator. I fail to imagine myself to become small and enter the cylinder. I could feel an engine oil in my mouth when I fail (ha ha ha...). Then I return back to the one who walk behind me earlier as want a comfort.

He and I wait for another try but can't do that because a lot of people flood in and everyone want to use the elevators (there's a lot). So, I went to another alternative - the stairs. I don't really mind to use stairs because I only want to go to the fifth floor.

As I walk to the stair, it turn out that the stairs didn't have wall on it right side. So I could see people below and I saw two people that looked like a Mafia. They wear a black suite and a fedora, smocking cigarette. They look up and saw me and I turn back to find another route.

As I walk I arrive inside someone's hotel room (It's a suite room) and I saw a women praying in front of a wide window. Her back toward me. I pay no attention to her and I continue walking as the stairs lead me. The stairs I walk turn wide in size and suddenly I encounter someone praying in the middle of the stairs. Again her back toward me. I stop as I thought her direction of praying was wrong. It should face toward the window as I saw the earlier women before.

The women then stood up and turn her face toward me. I saw a small moustache on the face. It's a male in women's attire! Then he bow and apologize in Japanese language "sumimasen" he said. I seems in a rush and I abandon him. But I'm not sure what make me thinking like this; "It's a\the Mafia boss!!"

(Oh I remember why. I thought the Mafia want to caught me and the boss was horribly disguise as a women to trap me.)

Then I arrive at a place that full with glass containers. They are glasses which being made into beautiful accessories but the inside was not something beautiful. I thought they were raw meat.

Then suddenly I saw my dream as a third person. There I saw a women and a group behind her talking with another group of people that I assume a group of Mafia. They were upset because someone tress passing their secret room. The women was speaking Chinese and I understand what she say. She said she was sorry because she arrive here by accident.

One of the Mafia said "Chiu!" and all his people took out their small gun from their pocket and point it toward the women's group. But the women's said "We have guns too." And they took out their said weapon gun.

The Mafia group said "fake!" and I quickly understand that the women's group's weapons were fake guns. They freak out (Sawada Tsunayoushi style) and dropped their gun and everyone make "Hiiiee!!" sounds as they lurch to their side.

Then after that the scene revolve to a new event.

but a post, bringing my dream journal to life.

[This dream is from around 9:30AM, which is funny, because i got to sleep at 4AM after watching the Olympics... It's like my brain waited that 5 hours by itself, as i didn't wake up at all]
[My recall is HORRIBLE these days and thanks to that i forgot some parts in this dream as well... and i think my not perfect control with the flying is caused by that as well :/]

I was in our garden i think, but it was deserted and looked different. Earlier in the dream i helped out some Amish family and they got me to this deserted garden on their carriage.
I just decided to fly up into the air, which got me lucid instantly.
I looked at my hands as usually when i get lucid, but they were shadowed by something and i could barely see them. I looked around and there was a huge tree near me, which looked exactly like the walnut tree from our garden.

I flew up higher into the air and just wanted to go as high as i could. I kept going, but after a while i felt like something was blocking me from moving up. I tried and tried for a while but couldn't get higher. Still, the height i got to was good enough, so i started flying around while thinking about my goals. The walnut tree also flew up into the air for some reason and it was floating next to me.
Suddenly the dream collapsed on me.
[Back with DEILD].

When i was back in, i was standing in Árkád, the biggest plaza around here. I was on the second floor.

There were a lot of people walking around me. I decided to head to a store close to me.
I walked into the store, which was Mediamarkt as far as i remember. I was slowly checking my environment... there were some people walking about, but much less than outside of the store, most of them were looking at all kinds of household machines.
I had a thought that i'll try something here that i've seen Lucy do before

I summoned dark flames around my body, which went way easier than i expected. I looked at my hands, which was covered by the completely dark flames. As i moved my hands around, the flames reacted fully realistically in their movement. It was an interesting thing to watch.
I looked down and realized that my whole body is covered in these flames, but they didn't hurt, since i created them. I found it funny how i took a power from Lucy

I did a throwing move with my right hand and thrown a dark flame towards a wall, it burned and left a dark mark on it. I kept throwing these flames all around me with both my hands and soon most of the machines around me were on "dark fire".
The people were scared and wanted to run away, but i thrown some flames towards them as well, althrough i didn't want to flames to kill them, so they just kept running while trying to extinguish the flames on themselves. [I don't really like to hurt my DCs seriously].

For a moment i felt like a maniac... because of throwing these dark flames all around me. Then i decided to move on finally and go find Lucy, the flames on me disappeared.

I walked outside the store now. I turned around and noticed a weird girl waiting for someone in the middle of the wide hallway, her hair looked like Frankenstein's
I walked up to her and when she noticed me, she looked at me with a frown. I asked her:

- Do you know where Lucy is?
She looked a bit upset:
- Why should i know where she is?!

Well, she didn't seem to be much of a help, so i looked the other way to find someone else who i can ask. But just as i turned around, i noticed a black haired girl, in rocker or emo clothes who was just walking into a small hallway, towards the washrooms. For some reason i thought that it must be Lucy, even while she looked younger now and she even had different styled clothes than usually...

I ran towards the small hallway and when i found her, i grabbed her hand. When she looked at me, i realized that she was like 15 years old, while Lucy is around 20. For some reason i thought that this must be her past self, so i didn't think much about it. [That's a kinda stupid thought...].
I smiled at her when i realized that she isn't acting hostile.
[At this moment i became semi-lucid for some reason].

I started moving towards the end of the hallway, towards the toilets where she originally headed and now i still held her hands. She was coming after me and asked:

- Where are you bringing me?
- Just come, don't worry.

Instead of going to the toilets, we kept moving towards a bigger door which lead behind the stores of the plaza. As we walked in there, soon the hallway continued in my school and we walked up on some stairs. She acted all confused now and it seemed like she didn't want to follow me anymore.
I told her:

- Don't be that frigid!
- I'm not! Why do you say that?!

[I'm not even sure why i said that... lol... i was semi lucid...]

As we kept going, soon the girl turned into a mouse and i turned into a cat. She was the one leading now and i fully lost lucidity and it all turned into a weird regular dream.

[My english is a bit worse today than usually or at least i felt like that while writing the entry, so sorry for that ]
[Well, the dark flames were fun to play with, but this girl who i thought to be Lucy... eh... I don't even know why i thought that, when i woke up it was obvious that she wasn't her... ah well, next time i'll make sure]
[I'll really need to start working on my recall now, i basically fully forgot the flames part and only remembered it while already writing this entry... and there are still some small details that i forgot ]

[COLOR="royalblue"]Non-Aware (Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="blue"]Partially Aware (Lucid Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="navy"]Fully Aware and Vivid (Astral Projection(OOBE)[/COLOR]

Finally back home to my own bed, although I went to bed very late because I watched the Olympics opening ceremony.
And because of that I didn't remember much at all.

[COLOR="royalblue"]I was playing Counter-Strike in my dream again, and I was discussing the Olympic games with my friend Johan. And then I was playing ping pong with some girl.[/COLOR]

Yes that' all I remember :(

i dreamed that I was with my aunt and mother. They discussed paranormal phenomena happening to them.
*boring.*

[COLOR="royalblue"]Non-Aware (Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="blue"]Partially Aware (Lucid Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="navy"]Fully Aware and Vivid (Astral Projection(OOBE)[/COLOR]

I have read Carlos Castaneda's book "The Art of Dreaming" for the fifth time (not exaggerating!), it such a good book because it describe how dreaming works, well more how the advanced dreaming works. Some people would call it astral projection, but I am going to call it dreaming because that is what is is, it's just that the moderns western minded man have reduced the true meaning of dreaming, at least that's what the sorcer and nagual Don Juan Matus say in the book.

Don Juan's apprentice is very skeptical to the spiritual meaning of dreams and I have the same character. Although since I started dreaming my view of reality have changed drastically. But I still have some trouble in believing that it's the truth.

Therefore I am going to start my own journey in dreaming.

I was actually hesitating in seeking out these entities described in the book, because they are very dangerous, but I've been told by my guide Iapetos that he will protect me, but I will still be careful.

It might be silly to read this if your not spiritual, but I am not a believer nor skeptical I am open for any possibility and therefore I also have to be careful, before it's too late.

If my experience verify Don Juan's theories I will make my own summary of how I reached and crossed all the gates of dreaming, although that is a very high goal. But I hope I and you will learn from his teachings and my experiences to come.

If you have read the book and believe in his theory you can use these techniques in order to be prepared for what is waiting in the world of dreaming. If you don't believe it you can still use the techniques for your benefit.

The first obstacle or "gate" we have to reach and cross is the First Gate of dreaming. (The stabilization of the dreaming body). It's reached when one perceive his hands in a dream, solved when one is able to shift the focus of one's hands to another dream object and return it to the hands, all repeated a few times.

Thursday - 2012-07-27

[COLOR="royalblue"]I dreamt that I were in some politic gathering and listening to a man talking. It was boring and he didn't say anything interesting. But then the chairman was giving the word to another politician and the man says "How dare you interrupt me, I am the autocratic ruler." All people started to laugh and say "Haha not yet your not haha!".
I got a feeling that he had more tricks up his sleeve and something was not right here...
In this dream I had supernatural powers so I flew up into the sky and examined the building I had been in, and I see a giant bomb on the roof. Then I woke up 02:16

In the next dream I was at some theater and some girl approached me and said that she liked the new me. I looked on her surprised. The another girl also approached me and said the same thing, and I thought "What the h*ll is happening?". Then my memory went blank and the next second I was falling down a building and landed on a red buss with no pain. [/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]I was more aware and I remember my plan of action, to glance at items of my dreams, although I forgot to look at my hands. I gazed and touched a green street lamp, some leaves on the ground and some grass.
The thought of seeing Iapetos in order to help me crossed my mind, but I changed my mind and wanted to meet the dangerous entity "dreaming emessary". According to Don Juan it can not lie although it try to bribe you in order to follow it to it's world and then trick you to stay there forever... But it is the guide that will help you cross the second gate.

I woke up and fell back to sleep.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="royalblue"]I saw a huge vortex and I dreamt that I had powers in the water like a water god. I remember seeing huge blue wires with matrix coded symbols on it attaching my back.

Then I had a really long dream of me being Batman haha, I fought hundreds of Chinese men with guns and I barely survived. So it was an epic battle and a cool dream. [/COLOR]

If Don Juan had commented on my experience he would say: "I think you went a bit too far, all that was required was your awareness of your hands. What you have done is equivalent to bringing a wall down just to squash a mosquito sitting on it."

So now my goal is to just look at my hands :roll:

My chem teacher was outside my house, shooting everyone with a machine gun. I got hit but didn't feel any pain. I got lucid and noseplugged. I confirmed it was a dream and decided to manifest a gun to shoot my chem teacher. But I couldn't, so I decided to bloodbend him. He went limp and lay on the ground just as I wanted him to do.

I woke up a few minutes after that, since I had to go somewhere for a school project. But I was informed that it was moved 2 hours later, so decided to go back to sleep and make it my WBTB+MILD (which I haven't done in a few days because of my schedule.) Sure enough, my safety net didn't fail me

I had an FA where I woke up 4 hours later than I should've. I panicked and did a noseplug like I usually do irl. I could breathe! I got lucid and stabilized. Something weird happened too. I was walking around thinking about the TOTM, but suddenly the dream just crashed D: I went into the void and lost lucidity. Then I had another FA where my mom woke me up. I got up and went to the bathroom. But then I realized my mom was out of town until tomorrow, so I noseplugged got lucid and ran outside. I created fireballs in my hands and threw them at some random DC's who ran away.

Then I was woken up once more by my sister. I RCed, but this time it was reality already. Haha.
