I was in an orphanage of sort. There are other people around me. There's also Luis M. We were making love very awkwardly. Then the person changed into someone else. It was my lover (a stranger). We were sleeping side-by-side, with my lover to my right. Looks Caucasian.

Then we had to escape. It was an orphanage for kids used for crimes and other stuff. The leader was there. When we approached the door, the leader popped out. He shot and hit me on the right side of my torso. I shot him and hit him on the head, and he dropped dead. I didn't feel anything.

We continued running, but we're not sure which way was out. There were many others. Then some were out. I was looking for someone. Had to find him. I was outside. The others were just staying right outside. I told them to run as far away as they can because there's a bomb.

There was a pregnant woman coming out of the building. At first I was just watching her, and then I was accompanying her, as she climb up the... stairs?

Then there was an explosion. With no sound.

I'd invited two friends from high school over to my house, which was a mixture of my old house and my parent's current house. I wasn't feeling well so I went to sleep, had another dream which I believe was something about a caterpillar. Upon awakening I was very ill with such a bad fever that I was delusional and hallucinating. My father tried to give me medicine to bring the fever down, but I dumped it out and filled the medicine cup with water. Eventually I started to feel better, and realized just how sick I'd been. My friends had left, and I found out that I apparently had received the illness from the dream caterpillar. Then I woke up.

In the first dream a dog spoke to me, an entire sentence. I was surprised. Now I cant remember what she said.

in another dream I was laying on a hay bale in my field, it was dusk I believe, looking up at the whisps of clouds. and I noticed one whisp of cloud moving very fast due west, then it made a sharp right and was moving due south and it didnt slow down. and then I saw another whip of clouds moving very fast. they did a small waver and there was a flash of light in the clouds followed a second later by a pop of thunder. I saw some smoke coming from the direction of the clouds the smoke covered me. I made it hard to see and I felt strange.

in my last dream before I woke up I was tracking a vampire. tracking near my house. I saw two paths going through the woods and wasnt sure which he went down. I chose one and soon found it lead to this creepy old back woods cemetery where some of my family are buried. The Grim Reaper use to be visible at dusk on the one of the trees in this cemetery. as I was coming out of the woods to the cemetery I noticed this old rifle I was carrying had the barrel full of water. I doubted it would even fire. and if it did shoot how much damage would it do to a vampire. I was looking out through the cemetery but didnt see anything. I think thats when I woke up, I dont remember anything else.

First lucid!!!
september 15, 2011 1:20 am

I just had my first lucid! i did a wbtb. then ended up asleep. or so i thought. it was an FA! so i 'went back to sleep at 5AM, hoping to have a good shot at a lucid." i started dreaming about hello kitty, i dont know why. then, i put myself in the dream, and picked up kitty.


i figured out how i got lucid. i touched my alarm clock in the fa, thus stabilizing the dream. yay!

I had this dream sometime after 3:30 AM and It ended at exactly 5:40 AM (because my mom wakes me up to get ready for school at that time). Vividness is 10/10, length about maybe two hours. This is a WILD.

NON-DREAM | DREAM | LUCID

I start out in this city that for some reason reminds me of New Orleans even though I've never been there before. The time is evening, right before the sun sets. There are tall buildings and I am standing by a road. Between me and the road is a long rectangular piece of land covered in black gravel. There are some kids playing there and adults walking on the sidewalk or watching the kids. I turn my back to the black gravel. The setting sun is behind me, so I have a long shadow out in front of me. I try to make a fountain appear behind me on the black gravel platform, and when I look to my left on the ground, there is a new shadow, coming from the fountain I had just made. I turn around and it is to my right. It is a pretty plain fountain. I walk over to the black gravel and the fountain spills water all on the ground, making the black gravel covered in about two inches of water. I try to complete this month's basic task of walking on water, and I do! I'm not walking on the ground beneath the water, but actually on top of it! Happy that I have completed the task, I jump really high. I jump about 30-40 feet in the air all around the city. I jump over shorter buildings and overpasses and roads. The sun has now set, but I see a group of people in a wide alley. There is a guy in front of a couple of steel trash cans, beating on them with sticks like drums. There are some people dancing to the beat. On the brick wall of one of the buildings making up the alley, there are posters of rock bands. I try to read one of the posters, and it says something along the lines of "Theeee naaaame of the baaaand". Yeah, weird. At least, it was something like that, I can't remember.
Then, the scene changes. I have the feel that I am still in the same city, but am now indoors. There is a party going on. I am in a hallway and next to me is a tight stairway leading up to a door. I try to complete the advanced task of the month, to control 2 elements. I turn my back to the stairway and try to make lit torches line up on the walls of the stairway. To my left I see reflected the orange, flickering glow of fire and turn around. Sure enough, torches are now on the walls of the stairway. I concentrate on the nearest torch. I reach out my hand, but I only manage to make the fire burn bigger and brighter. I put my hand down and concentrate on what I want the flame to do. I make it grow, and it goes up the staircase in the air. The fire starts to burn away at the door, and soon the ceiling. My mom wakes me up.

Non-lucid dreaming -- Lucid dreaming

Hello! Well, I started writing this introduction last night, but I was really tired so I never finished it. Basically, I've wanted to have lucid dreams for years and have now gotten back into trying again. I mean I never really stopped thinking about it, but it hasn't been much more than "sure would be cool to have a lucid dream tonight, ha-hyuk". But one thing that I've been doing is recording voice notes on my phone whenever I wake up from a dream. I find this to be a pretty nifty way to get them saved. Especially since for me, rather than waking up refreshed, I ALWAYS wake up groggy. Even if I get 12 hours of sleep, I'll be kind of out of it. So I am way too tired to write; not only can I barely keep my eyes open but my writing is practically illegible. I end up making brief notes like "bridge lady town jump" that don't make sense later.

Up until this morning, I had only had two lucid dreams, one when I was 13, one like 3 years ago. But this morning I had one! I will describe it, but it seems like most of my dreaming is done in the morning. Or at least most of my memorable dreaming. When I'm woken up by my alarm clock and hit the snooze button, somehow that seems to trigger me to dream, because I do very frequently. So, I decided to take advantage of this! Last night before going to bed I found a really good text to speech thing online and recorded it and made my own sound file (complete with a beat n such) in Audacity. Then I used it as a one-time "alarm" to go off around 8 AM. It says "You are dreaming. This is a dream. [My name], you are having a dream. This is a lucid dream." I figured that since it's kind of short it wouldn't wake me up, but it might get into my subconscious and maybe a DC would say it or something.

However, my morning around 8 went differently than expected. First of all, I forgot my computer will just go into standby if nothing's going on (usually I open a torrenting program and seed so that it will stay on), so the sound didn't play. Then, I was super cold and had to pee. Lastly, my mom was playing The Doors and singing at a middling but annoyingly audible volume. So, I took care of the computer, the cold, and the pee, and set the alarm again for 45 minutes later. Success!

I was in some place and my dad wanted me to go talk to this girl. Somehow she had to do with his business, she was like a client or something and I was supposed to talk to her to something something. Once we were alone, however, we started having sex. I don't think we actually got all the way, but we were doing fun stuff. This is pretty much all I remember from this part, I feel like after that I like wasn't with her anymore for some reason and I was trying to get back to her. Next thing I remember, I'm lucid, baby! I don't remember hearing the recording I made, but whatever. I was in what was supposed to be my room, except everything was totally different (arrangement, furniture, etc.). The first thing that I did was try to stabilize by rubbing my hands together. However, the first time I did this I really felt like I did it in real life. This may or may not have been the case, but I thought so at the time, and the dream began to suddenly fade. I almost think that I woke up slightly but if so then I did a DEILD... I think this is what happened, except that as I said, I only partially woke up. I really wanted the dream to continue, so I kept focusing on it coming back and it did. So anyway, then I rubbed my hands together some more in the dream and it worked. I don't know if it increased my lucidity or not, but probably I guess. I didn't focus on the feeling really, which is the point. Unfortunately the dream is somewhat foggy, but then I know I was in the bathroom of my place (which was more like a studio apartment than just my room where I currently live) and I looked at myself in the mirror. It was pretty dark in the room but I could've sworn when I first looked in the mirror I saw small devil-horn-like protrusions on my head. I was like "Oh dear!" but upon further examination it was just my hair and I looked normal. Lol.

The next thing I remember, I was on a street in some Eastern European looking city. I know I thought to myself, "What should I do?" and since nothing else came to mind I thought "I'll go find that girl again!" Although I don't have specific memories of the first ones, I believe that I tried to open some doors while visualizing that she would be on the other side. This is something I would really like to have work for me, the idea is pretty awesome. I mean opening a door to somewhere else in general. Anyway, it didn't work. Then I remember going to this brick wall where there was a tiny door in the center. I opened it and inside there was this metal contraption thing, I suppose kind of like one part of a metal-link bracelet but on a much larger scale (the opening was like 9" x 12"). I started pulling it out and when I did it created a staircase leading upward. I climbed it, somehow knowing a door was at the top, and imagining the girl waiting for me on the other side. My image of her may have been too clear or something, though, because the next thing I knew I had a lot more to traverse than before. It was like somehow the stairs had taken me into what seemed like an elevator shaft, with the door at the top. Not only that, but there were grates placed horizontally in the shaft every 15 feet or so. I really have no idea how I was continuing to climb, but I was, although it was beginning to seem futile. I then had the idea to try to float or levitate up the shaft, and when I thought this hundreds of butterflies started floating upwards how I had imagined. I tried to sort of float on/with them but it didn't really work, I think this was because I didn't know how I was going to get through the grates.

The next thing I knew, I was back in my room/apartment (and in the voice note I referred to it this time as "my hotel room"). I'm pretty sure I just teleported there because I immediately tried to conceive a door and decided to draw one on a piece of paper and try to go through it. I remember seeing the door drawn on a piece of paper, but then my mom flushed the toilet IRL and it woke me up. Dag nabbit! I was pretty jazzed though and recorded it right away. I do wish I had DEILD'd, but I moved a bunch when I first woke up so it was a lost cause (though I feel like it wouldn't have been if I hadn't moved!!).

So, firstly, woo hoo!! That's my third LD ever! And first in like 3 years! And secondly, sorry about the preoccupation with sex. This dream has made me realize that I need to get some tasks! I want to create a list of simple goals to go for. Really simple things, sort of exercises which will test my dream control while also stabilizing the dream. I'm going to make a list of things I want to try, and then I'm definitely going to read other parts of DV for ideas, but if you feel like commenting please do!

Simple things I can think of now:

• Turn around slowly to fully take in the dream scene
• Try to conjure my phone in my pocket (perhaps use it to control the dream)
• Examine the clothes I'm wearing
• Focus on a DC
• Talk to a DC
• Examine something closer, feel a wall's texture, etc

More difficult seeming tasks I would like to achieve:

• Open a door to another location
• Fly

Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated! I'm going to go check out the TotM and TotY as well. YAAAY

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot, I totally did the plug-nose-and-breathe thing 4 or 5 times, I think when I was in my room. It totally worked! I'm pretty sure the first couple times I breathed in, but the second couple times I breathed out, because I remember thinking that maybe I wasn't fully plugging my nose when air was coming out. I kept trying to fully plug it and I couldn't seem to, I had some thought about how you can't plug a water faucet with your hand. Either way it totally affirmed my lucidity (although I knew I was anyway).

I think I was in a real life mission. I remember some vehicle that looked like an open monorail. There was lava everywhere......recall gets blurry

I'm playing a version of gears of war with my friend D. It's a side scrolling game like contra, but I know it's gears because they have chain saw bayonets. We were at the last boss, and we died. D said he was going to give up, and I was kinda upset about it. I told him all we needed to do is stand in the middle of the screen and keep everything that comes on the outside clear.

I don't think he was trying to hear me. Jack walked and she started playing with J's kid for a bit. She looked almost like her video game counterpart if she aged, grew out her hair, and died it. She was still tatted up and everything else. She ended up picking up the controller, and we started playing until the dream ended.

I dreamt that I got help from Davey Havok in getting a job and getting more in my bank account besides that. I was talking to him alot in the dream via Skype. I wonder why I keep dreaming about death and rockstars and getting jobs and lots of money.

I just had a lucid dream about an hour ago. And it was from RCing with my watch. I woke up at 5:00 or 5:30 and remembered just 2 dreams, did not try very hard. They could have been the same.. Anyways, went to the bathroom and wrote them down. The did MILD as I was falling back asleep:
I said to myself that I will have a lucid dream and I will remember it and I will be aware in my dream and know its a dream over and over and over
Then thought of one of my dreams that I just woke up from and looked for the dream signs in it. And if I thought of any other scene I would think "this is a dream" and slowing go back to just telling myself I will have a lucid dream.
It took awhile, but finally fell back asleep. I'm hoping that this all might help out another newbie searching around on the forums. In the dream I saw my brother and thought "I see him in my dreams a lot, maybe I could RC everytime I see him". So I RCed and the seconds were messed up, I thought "no way". Everything was so real, I saw the sunlight on my arm and watch, and then I looked back at my watch and saw all the numbers were messed up. During the day, whenever I RC I try to truly and honestly consider whether I am dreaming and kinda imagine my watch messing up. Which I think really helped. Anyways, I thought "Now Isaac(my name), cool it, don't get too excited" and remembered to stabilize the dream its good to spin and go to a new scene. So I started spinning and closed my eyes and thought of my bathroom. Then I thought if I open them I might wake up in my bed, and I was not sure what to do, and kept spinning, then I smacked my hands on the counter in the bathroom just before opening my eyes and found myself in the bathroom. I looked in the mirror, did not see my reflection, did not want to try for fear of waking up and I saw the window was more square as apposed to rectangular in real life. I opened the door and looked out in to the hall way and thought of how real it looked. I walked out and into the dining room and thought "I gotta try flying and get outside!". So I went out the door, ignoring that it opened in the opposite direction its suppose to. I tried flying and thought "well wow this is dull and boring and not near as fun as I thought it would be" then I noticed I was still on the ground. So I ran around to the front yard and heard a radio and thought I was starting to wake up. Then my dad was walking towards me and I had a false awakening and thought I had slept walked to the front yard. As my dad was talking to me, I saw a black dot above a mound of hay or something and and wondered if it was a kittin, it was and it meowed and walked to me and it looked and sounded real. Another one and Miles(one of the older cats) came. Then I woke up for real.

Well hope I helped someone and thanks again guys for your replies. And I agree with Arch that WILD is not a good idea for, I think, newbies like me. Every time I tried, it did not work and I tried so many times.

Was in some magical fairy place where time was stopped the food wqs amazing and everything was just one giant celebration. I was with kara and we were swimming around. The water was just right and sweet. I kept going back and fourth between my waking life and this life. Unfortunately I forgot most of this dream because I didn't write it right away. The end part was that I knew I would live forever. The other side of the ocean was for people who were ready to die. I knew it was time for me after being there for so long. I also felt that something wrong was going on. New rules were being created and it was becoming less magical. Kara didn't want me to go and was sad. I would look into the distance and see some others way out in the ocean swimming away from this magic. I wondered what would happen to them. Did they drown? Did something under the water get them? I was ready to go and swim. Kara and I went. The water was warm and inviting but different. It was dirty. One woman complained about being fat which was weird because there were no fat people there. We swam. We were getting farther and farther. It was coming to the end and we swam around a corner. I saw a giant robot. It sung to me. " its not perfect. But it rarely ever is. For the time you'll be, there's much to see and do. Well be here together to help you find your way. I was then told I was only 7 years old and it was time to return to my body. I would forget this place and when I died I would come back. Everything shattered

It is night in my old neighborhood. I look at the sky, and the moon is so big. I am surprised, but it is beautiful too. I decide to get my bike and get out of town, to see the moon and the stars better. So beautiful. The moon has mathematical structures on it. I wonder how the stars are visible when the moon shines so bright...

I thought I might should write my first lucid dream, I had when I was 4 or 5 years old.

I was in my room. I was really afraid. Me and my friends were in the bed, and jumped on some plates. There was an evil cup, which tried to eat us. It yelled and had a very deep man voice. I jumped down on the floor, and ran out in the living room. I saw a teddy bear in the chair, and some flags. It was my birthday! But where was my parents?.. No, they would never leave me on my birthday like this. Never.. I heard the cup again. It said, that I had to come back! I stopped op. This was a way too weird! And then..
I realized that I was dreaming, and became lucid. I didn't knew, what it was, or that I could control it. I just had to wake up, because I was still really afraid. But first, I saw how vivid it all became. The sun shined on the teddybear, and I thought, it was so amazing. The cup stopped yelling at me, and there was nothing else than silence. I thought, that I one day HAD to come back to this place, where everything was so vivid and beautyful. (And here I am, haha, I'm training for it, little me!)
I blinked.. Nothing happened. I became nervours. What if I couldn't wake up?! I blinked a second time..
.. And found myself in my bed. I was both afraid, but also happy. I thought it was so amazing. And I guess that's why I still can remember the dream in so many details. Especially the lucid part.

I'm training to get another LD, and I hopefully will soon. Maybe tonight.
I promise, I'll write it in here as soon as I gets one!

Have nice dream. *Doing a reality check*

This dream started off with me sitting at my computer and I saw something black run across the floor. I tried to find it and and I had found it and it was a cockroach. I had many attempts to kill it unfortunately I could not kill it. My dream ended.

One of my most vivid dreams ever. Almost my whole family were at my grandparents house. We decided to go to the forest because they live near one. We decided to take bikes for the ride to the forest. We started biking and I told my dad this is a horrible braking system on the bike. He said it worked fine for him as long as he pushed the top softly. I decided to go down a hill extremely fast and brake. I pushed the brake too hard and I flew across the street fortunately I was still alive. My dream ended there.

This dream started off with me,dad,brothers, and close friends getting off at some harbor where we could go fishing. We started to get ready. My dad was ready to throw in his line but then a party boat had stopped right in front of our face. They ran into some bar that was underwater. I also remember that they did a 360 turn before hitting the bar. They decided to gather everyone from the bar and go to the ocean. We decided to go, so me and my dad swam across the water to the boat. After a while I noticed we saw a group of people there. My dad said they are from European country called Azerbaijan. He then took back his answer and said Romanians. My dad comes from a Romanian descent. He started talking to them and he doesn't usually open his mouth too much to strangers. They started recording him and then an udder silence hit the boat. The dream ended.

This dream started out with me at some sort of hockey ice rink with my brothers. I told my brothers to put on their helmet when they come out on ice. One of my brothers put it on but the other didn't. I started screaming at him so one of their coaches(my coach also) called me over. He started to tell me that he doesn't want the kids to wear the helmets because it doesn't protect their head well enough. Almost all kids had no protection. I started yelling at the coach that I do not care! I want the kids wearing what i tell the to wear. He shut up and the dream ended.

This dream started out with me and my old friend from 6th grade. She was with me in the middle of some island. There were two volcanoes and one had a nightclub and the other also a nightclub. We started talking and I got real intimate with her and we started making out near a playground outside. I felt a real connection between me and her. Her dad later called her in to my house because her parents were visiting mine. We laid down in bed together and since I have a bunk bed i sleep on top. Her dad started to shake the bed violently and we almost fell. Luckily we got off and survived the fall. The dream ended.

This dream started out with me on a beach that looked very similar to the inception beach. I was with one of my relatives and we were fishing off this beach. I caught about 10 big gigantic fish. The last one I caught I felt that it was poisonous so I looked at my hands to see if I had any cuts. I had hoped to become lucid by looking at my hands unfortunately I didn't.

IMPORTANT DATES
08/31/11 -- Started my Dream Journal!

CURRENT GOALS:
[/] Find a lucid-inducing technique that works for me (Attempting to try MILDing)
[ ] Attain Lucidity


I finally mustered the strength to peel myself from bed for a WBTB! Enough to right keywords in my physical DJ!
They were:
Taylor
Haunted House
Scooby Doo
Music
Hiding
Magick Vials
Monster People

And with these words, I figured out the mystery of last nights dreams! XD (I'm such a reference dork, I do apologize.)

Within this dream, Taylor and I were back to exploring the Haunted House I had seen in my "Worst Babysitting Job EVER!" dream. Only this time, it was much more vivid, and I had more of a control on myself. Though I wasn't lucid, I still was more connected, I believe. Anyhow, Taylor and I went inside to investigate. The scene cuts to us sitting in a bedroom that is similar to her ACTUAL bedroom, but is much, much creepier and the furniture has been changed. She sits on a bed that is perpendicular to one wall with an old school 90's radio next to her. She is doing her make-up and hair as I sit on a bed that runs parallel to the back wall. I merely kick my feet about and absorb my surroundings and watch Taylor get up and around the room. She says that we need music, and turns on her radio. I am not sure what song came on, but it sounded like music that was her own...so I didn't question it. We talk about the monsters we must fight or escape from, and I ask her why she feels she must get ready for that. She merely answers that it's just like old times or some such. Suddenly, there is a loud banging against the door. Taylor scrambles to hide behind the bed I am sitting on while I duck about grabbing several vials that are similar to the charms I make. However, these were all labeled with a speicifc purpose with old parchment that hung from the bottles with string....I'm sure one of them read 'Virtue' and another I think was 'Sun' or 'Fire', all in a sort of olden script. I hid in the same place as Taylor and shielded her, covering us with pillows. The Monster man had swirling eyes and blue-manged fur...He was sort of like an Ork of kinds. He pulled the pillow off of me and I threw one of the vials in his face, making him cry out. I took Taylor and we made our escape I believe from the window. From here...I remember nothing but running through gardens and making sure she was okay.
In the end, though this may have been a different dream entirely, the team from Scooby Doo walked out the doors of my high school and were arrested. They however said they hadn't done it! I came out to prove them innocent, I believe, bringing them out the Monster. The Mystery Gang were released, the Monster taken away, screaming at me, and I said my work was done....I awoke.
