Building a skatepark (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Somebody was building a skatepark. They had two bowls dug in the ground, filled with concrete and coping and the like. They were about ten feet tall and only six feet or so wide. Kind of odd.

He said "I can't think of any plans from here."

I said "perhaps a ramp from this bowl over here to roll into your first bowl, allowing enough speed to transfer to the other bowl?"

Backstage (Incubated Lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was behind a table. Oh hey, it's finally a dream now, not a hallucination.

I climbed over the table and towards the wall, which opened up. Through the opened wall I was backstage at a show. Two members of the band were in this room. We were about to play a gig for Germany.

"Ready?"
"Ready."

We climbed up the stairs (three metal stairs up to stage) and the dream instantly collapsed as I started putting my monitors in my ear.

Not sure why, as I hadn't gotten excited, and the senses of IEMS\s entering the ears are pretty strange and anchoring.

I was in minecraft with minecraft shaped DCs exploring the world. We stumbled upon a temple full of mossy coblestone and cobblestone. We went deeper into and discovered a ship. Glowstone blocks were everywhere, however it was still dark. I fell into a dark pit and tried lighting the mutha fucka up with torches. But everytime I placed a torch, they would dissappear. That's when I got creeper bombed and woke up.


I also dream Shockwave died..alone....and drunk that bitch...

There is an excellent book, 'The Power of Your Subconscious Mind' by Joseph Murphy. The critical problem with MILD techniques is overcoming conscious resistance. The subconscious will only act upon what you consciously believe to be true. For example If you say an affirmation saying, 'Tonight I will realise that I'm dreaming' and you have a conscious arguement saying, 'No I won't because I never realise that I'm dreaming' then the subconscious will act upon what you consciously believe to be true. If you don't address your conscious resistance to change you will eventually compound the problem instead of heading towards completion of your goal. You can actually bypass this whole process and hypnotise yourself in a few minutes and Dr. Robert Anthony has an excellent online course which teaches a very clever technique on how to correctly address the subconscious when you want to make a change. The course is The Secret of Deliberate Creation.

FA/DEILD

I had around 5 or 6 LDs separated by FAs with DEILD attempts. They were pretty sexual at first and then moved into experimenting with methods of dream control. This was the first time I tried to use the "operator" matrix technique for control and it failed.

The night started with a non-lucid where I was trying to masturbate. I had the ingenious idea to try and have sex with a tissue box because the top was a soft hole. haha. Then it moved to me in a friend's car trying to finish. I had to wait for SC in the drivers seat of the SUV and eventually his dad interrupted me (although it was really BGs dad).

In the next dream I became lucid in Amsterdam. I went into this sex shop where I saw Mattie working there. I go up and start talking and it quickly moves onto frisking. We continue talking during this process and work our way downstairs. I am rubbing my hands together to maintain the dream. It looks the basement of the Bulldog coffee shop with more places to sit. There were large brown automens where people were supposed to have sex on. There scattered people around so we go to the back. We start taking off our clothes and I must have gotten distracted for a second because I look back and she has short curly jew guy hair and is no longer attractive. She said she got a new hair cut and it was a deal breaker for me. So I head back upstairs.

Upstairs I found that the place was also part grocery store. I was walking down the frozen food isle and I found a hot blonde. We start fondling for a bit and then I decide to do something better with my LD.

I walk out front and look for a sweet car to drive in. I see a BMW and got in. The pedals were very close together. For some reason I put 1 foot on each pedal and it was uncomfortable. The pedals were so close my ankles had to touch. I start driving down the streets of Amsterdam (thankfully with no bicyclists on the road). I am going really fast and can swerve between cars. I found out I can push one of the pedals to the side to make it at a normal distance. Eventually I see a yellow race car parked on the side of the road. It looked like a lean formula 1 car and had a huge fin sticking up in the back. The drivers seat was exposed and there was a girl in it. I couldnt resist the upgrade. I walk over and get the girl out of the car. She said it was a bad idea. I get in and the pedals are close again. Then I look forward and there is no steering wheel, just 2 levers. And even worse, the levers are way out of my reach. I am pissed the girl was right and I lose the dream soon after.


I re enter a dream looking at a TV with a bulls highlight on it. I think if I focus long enough eventually I can make it into a dream. It has an inbound play from the corner. Noah takes the ball and hits it off Shaqs head and he runs the baseline (the ball was already inbounded). He finishes and I think it was a sweet move. Suddenly I am down with some team groupies I guess. It has a girl that I start getting hot and heavy with. Eventually I leaver her to do other things.

I try to find a safe somewhere to see what is inside. I was hoping it would be some deep secret like inception. I look for awhile and KK (not roommate) tries to stop me. I start running and putting my finger to my ear. I try to call the operator and ask for some abilities. I can only faintly hear my mom's voice talking about me being still asleep. I figure that I hear her speaking next to my sleeping body (despite me not living at my parents house). I lose the dream on the run.


I become lucid outside of some nice looking campus building. It is large and there are tall trees outside. I am with my mom and tell her that we are dreaming. She says something like, "so i can fly?" I was like sure and tried to show her. I end up only jumping like 5 ft. I retry and then just try to float. I tell her to pretend to be a piece of paper in the wind. I can feel the breeze pick me and gently toss me around. I have no control and am rolling over but still floating.

I think a different dream starts and I am running around my old house trying to find a token that I can say is magic and give me powers. I decide to ground myself by licking the fridge and it tasked....like a fridge. I open it and taste some pink lemonade. It tasted fruity but not the right kind of fruit. I never find the token and make my way to the living room. I decide to call for my dream guide so he can maybe help get some powers. I see an aura of light by the TV. I say, "my dreamguide!" and as something starts to appear there I hear my mom yell at me. She was standing right behind me with my brother who was sitting on the couch. It was so loud my stomach felt like it dropped out. I then wake up.

shit. =) I'm so excited, I just had several lucids and false awakenings within a two hour period! I guess MILD really does work, two a few days of it! Too much happened in the dreams, but this was the most LUCID I've ever been. I finally could clear my vision and really communicate with the people in my dreams, even though none of them seemed interested in talking to me =(

I'll give you the highlights! My favorite part was me and a couple of friends were in an apartment building going UP and the elevator was tuggin along slowly and we were all looking at eachother wondering if it was about to give out. Sure enough, it started falling slowly at first back down, I told them not to move too much and as we neared the bottom, or after so much suspense, I was like WAIT A MINUTE. I put my hand out flat in front of me and willed the elevator to stop. It stopped and then I started pushing us up towards the top, but I told them to crawl out this window real quick just in case.

Another part I'm at my house and a bunch of family is coming over. I knew I was dreaming when my uncle showed up, cause he would NEVER come here, I doubt it anyway. He walked to the door and handed me two bags of trash that have been sitting on our porch for a day. (No, really, it's our trailer trash... =/) Anyway, I rolled my eyes and noticed it was all wet outside, I grabbed the trash and said "I was JUST getting ready to take this out." I go out of the house and sit down by a puddle of water. Just enjoying the lucidity. Looking around. Unfortunately I can't remember what I saw. Anyway, a lot of things happened, but I'm gonna quit right here. Just saying MILD was a SUCCESS.

While I have yet to remember a lucid dream, I have progressed.

I find it easier and easier to meditate and achieve a clearer mind. I still get background music from time to time but now atleast I don't have a flood of thoughts when I close my eyes.

i noticed that around the same time my meditation skills have increased, so has my dream recall. Almost every night I am able to dream, wake up, and remember atleast one dream. Though I am still at a stand still for becoming lucid within my dreams.

A theory I have is that possible your dream world is some how linked to the thoughts you have during the wake. The thoughts you can't control but suddenly come into play.

I don't remember all the details except of how wonderful it felt to be at the ocean.
I was a teenage boy in the dream. I don't remember ever being a different gender before in a dream, so this was a first time experience! I had sandy blond hair and I was fairly good looking. I was on summer vacation and I was enjoying playing some games (I think it was ring toss) at the fair. This girl came up to me and I thought she was cute, but not my type. She seemed pretty friendly, though, so we hung out that day. Later, I told her I was tired as we sat near a rocky area overlooking the ocean. So, I lay my head on her lap and just gazed at the ocean and all the clouds. I was near my favorite type of place in the world--a large body of water--and it was almost about to rain (which is my favorite type of weather). I didn't really pay much attention to the girl at this point, though I sincerely appreciated that I didn't have to get up and waste my time trying to find a pillow. I just remember that I kept falling asleep and then waking up to the sounds of the waves and the occasional clap of thunder in the distance. When I woke up, I felt a sense of loss. I always feel a sense of loss when I have a dream involving a large body of water.

ReachingfortheDream's Dream

I was going to sleep in my dream. Somehow this got me to imitate a WILD. I felt the SP in the dream and suddenly I was lucid.

Can't remember where I started off, but I remember that the SP within the dream was gripping me. I kept trying to free myself but I couldn't seem to move or get away from it. I seemed to be able to see it; it was like a big sludgy black pile trying to grip me.

"CLARITY!!!" I screamed, but it didn't really do much. Then I decided I needed to get out of this. The first thing I thought of was spinning around. I was slightly wary since the spinning had never really worked properly before, but I decided to take the chance.

I span around, I think I closed my eyes but I'm not sure. All I saw was swirls of black and random colors.

I can't remember where I ended up at this point either, but I thought of chichen-itza, and it was in sight. I think I was in midair. I put my hands out and flew to it.

I saw the trees surrounding it, the lone mayan pyramid amidst a giant random forest, just like in the DV pictures. I landed on the ground, and then flew up to the top of it. As I did so, I realized the beacon wasn't there. I imagined it, and it appeared - a swirling pile of yellow and orange floating above the pyramid.

I flew up to the top. At this point I was losing sight of my goals. There were 4 other people there, two younger females and an older male and older female. I started talking with them; I was excited that I had finally made it to the pyramid. I asked their names; the older man said Poppy, the older woman Mom, and the girls said they were Alice and Elaine (I think, it was something that started with an E). I took note that they all had brown or black hair. The two younger girls were wearing loose cotton shirts, one a rich bright red and the other white.

Then, to my disappointment, I felt the dream fade, and I was whirled back into my bed.

---

It was apparently the first day of school. I was in what was supposed to be my school (now that I think of it it's really similar to another school from a previous dream from a really long time ago). It kind of reminded me of a mix of FJR and CC; it was tall and clean and pristine, lots of high glass windows and walls and modern architecture.

I had art elective class still. We were supposed to leave our stuff in a massive changeroom (beats me why I would need a changeroom for art). The room was white, concrete, and massive with hooks lining the walls.

I hadn't even done anything and the class was apparently over. I was searching now in these random rooms for my next class. It then occurred to me that I forgot what the purpose of my lock was since I had left it on the hook in the other changeroom. I spent a good 5 minutes pondering what the hell a locker is for (lmfao) before I saw others in the hallway using them.

I wandered into another class, figuring that I could run back to the changeroom and grab the lock after this class was done.

---

I was still at this "school" it seemed, or maybe outside of it. There was a massive sidewalk, but it was like a giant glass hallway outside. There were people working there, some being buskers on that sidewalk. This one particular guy was just sitting and singing, but he kept grabbing me and hugging me and not letting me go. I was getting a little creeped out, and I struggled to get away.

---

I was again at this "school", but I was running to court. My mother apparently wanted to sue the law because of some sort of fraud or something having to do with paying too much for the arts (music lessons, I presumed). I ran to court. The prospect was stupid, and I was scared my mother would lose and look like a fool.

When I got into the court room, there were tons of people there. The floors were marble, the walls varnished dark wood, and everything from foot to ceiling intricately decorated with carvings and gold. There were people seated and standing watching the affair.

Apparently several classes had been made to attend court to watch. Some teacher was calling her students to the other side of the court.

Then the trial started. I was scared of what would happen. Then, AR randomly got up. I was confused; wasn't this my mother's trial? AR presented some poster or something about helping out with disasters around the world. Everyone applauded.

Then the judge stood up and said something funny, exclaiming how she was an old chinese woman. Then the dream ended.

Aqua's Dream

I am at a cafe with my mom in the Denver International Airport. Everything is white. The tables, chairs, floors, walls. My aunt and cousin come walking in. "What are you guys doing here?" My mom asked. My aunt said something about how they couldn't wait to see us so they flew here. My mom orders a coffee and the waitress comes and brings it to her. The waitress had pale white skin and was wearing a white dress. The coffee cup was white and guess what color the coffee was? White. My aunt orders a salad that is also completely white. I look around and do the nose plug RC. It fails and the dream ends.

I was so angry when I woke up. xD

Had one dream in multiple pieces....the power of the snooze button

One piece was a bunch of women being rounded up and shoved into trucks. (something to do with studying women history and the feminist movement? ) I see Gloria Steinem in a wheel chair being pulled up to the bed of a truck. I run to her grab the arms of the chair and roll it to the end of the truck. The chair is already tied in, and I know I am going to get nabbed any second. I tell her that even if I can't help her now I will get help her get out of this. (I think we were in a team in a earlier part of the dream I don't remember).

She leans forward and says "What can you possibly do to help me now?". It seemed like a harsh question, and I was hurt that I was failing her. I decide to read her the license plate number of the truck. I look down but am having trouble deciphering it. (Not enough trouble to get lucid....but you know... - _ -). Surprisingly the numbers do not change after multiple viewings and after a bit I finally get the whole number to her. It was 48484867. I get dragged away.

Second part: I was in some sort of prison that looked more like a dungeon. It was made of green brick and the entire surrounding seemed moist. I was in a wheel chair and was suddenly confused why I needed one. I tell the person I am with that I can walk and that I walk all the time. I go to stand up and my legs feel week. My calves can not support my weight and I become quickly unbalanced catching myself on the chair for support. I am confused as to how this happened (the memories were of myself walking irl, so CLOSE to being lucid DX)

Third part. I am leaving some kind of class and know that I am being forced to go to this one location. My surroundings look like a large scale college campus all made of orange brick with small patches of grass and courtyards. As I approach where I much go I get some kind of vision of what happened their before: An evil man is talking to a girl in a stone chair and he describes to her all the torturers he will present her with ending with impaling her over and over until she can take no more. I see that the only way to stop him is the yell the word "claws" and say a four digit word that has relevance to me. I think I could say 4867 because that was the end of the license plate number. I begin to get frightened as I approach the same location as the vision. I see the chair and the workshop the man walked out of. I walk in not knowing what will happen.

A creature appears made of brown feathers and earth and sleek black claws. I jump, and let her begin walking me backwards toward the chair. She looks at the walk where there is paper with something written in Spanish. She has some kind of reaction to it and I begin to see a human face of a young Mexican girl. I ask her if she is a Mexican girl, she seems to understand what I am saying but does not respond, she continues to guide me to the chair. "Did he do this to you once? Did he make you this?" I ask. She slows her pace and begins to think about what she is, and how she got to be that way. We begin to talk. I am still scared out of my mind because I know that the man will come out when he pleases and I can not leave, but I thought if I could help this girl we could escape together. I think I can use the numbers I saw in my vision to stop him, but who knows if it will really work. We talk and talk until I wake up.

notes

This dream constitutes my first in the quest for the Dream World Academy. The end of this dream tied directly into a continuing dream experience, but here I have logged only the portion pertinent to the quest.

I was in a bar, drinking with some old friends, when I had a realization. The forums on this website had me thinking about dream signs, and I remembered that MANY of the posts on the Dream Signs thread mentioned old friends that the dreamer hadn't been around in a long time. As I scanned the group assembled at the bar in my dream, I decided that this must be one of my dream signs too. I did my old trusty 'make someone levitate' Reality Check, and it worked. Bingo- time for fun.

I started telling all my friends how this was a dream- levitating them, making things change shape with my mind, and generally just sinking into the lucidity, allowing myself to delight in the sheer fun of it all. After a few dream minutes of this, I remembered the quest I had been assigned- to find and explore the Dream World Academy. I knew the scrubs I was drinking with didn't know anything about this , so I headed out the door and into the fresh country air.

I figured the best way to start was to take an aerial approach. I decided to fly high over the countryside, searching for anything out-of-the-ordinary, or just anything of interest at all. I read one of the logs of another Dream Views Academy member in his search where he used a television to take him to the Dream World Academy Portal. For some reason, however, that method just didn't seem right for me. As an avid fantasy reader, my subconscious is well-versed in the type of questing one finds in those books, so it just felt right to approach it the fantasy way. As I began to lift into the air, my friends came pouring out of the tavern we had been carousing in. They called to me and told me they wanted to help me on my quest- my very own posse!

My good friend Andy remarked 'Well how nice for you that you can fly, I guess we'll just follow along on foot!' He said this with no small measure of sarcasm, so I got the hint and put them all into the air with me. We rose high into the air, and like a flock of birds, we began to move as a group, scouring the world below with eagle eyes.

We headed north, and the country was beautiful. Streams, meadows, forests, all these things passed beneath us as we lazily made our way to wherever fate was leading us. Soon, we came upon a massive canyon, rimmed with giant white rock, and criss-crossed with rivers and streams. It was hard to really get a sense of the scale of the canyon from the great height at which we flew, but it seemed a continent of its own! Sensing that this was worth exploring, we glided over to a rocky outcropping on the canyon rim where a sprawling oak tree had somehow sprung out of the stony ground. My posse and I took shelter in its shade, and surveyed the canyon floor with wonder.

I noticed a large sturdy limb, low to the ground, that reached out over the rim, and I decided to climb out onto it and settle in for some reconnaissance. As I lay flat on my stomach, I noticed that the limb split into two small branches out over the canyon - making a perfect crosshairs. This intrigued me, so I focused my vision through the crosshairs and found that I was looking at a particularly green section of the canyon floor, noticeably more lush and wooded than the surrounding area. Many of the streams (or rivers, hard to tell from this distance) seemed to converge in this area as well.

As I studied the wooded area more intently, I detected movement- a great sweeping motion, agile, smooth, and certain. After some time, I could tell that the movement was getting closer. In fact, something was flying directly at my crosshairs! I began to feel a little anxious. I knew I was in a dream, but I was very much into the quest, so it didn't seem to calm my nervousness that this large flying object was headed straight for me. In a gigantic canyon with myriad formations, something was headed directly my way.

As it came closer, I saw that it was a gryphon- a rather large one it seemed- and it was still coming right at me. I can't say exactly why, but I got the sense that it was a sentry that was coming to check on us intruders. I could see that it was mostly black, with deep purple wing feathers, a dark grey chest, a dark silver beak and talons (almost like gleaming iron). As it continued to approach, I decided that I was not quite ready to meet this flying creature. I can't say why, exactly, as I was still quite lucid and aware that it was only a dream, but I made the decision to shroud my posse and I in a bubble that would prevent the gryphon from seeing us. It's an old trick that I use mainly in non-lucid or partially lucid dreams when I am being chased and cannot outrun my attackers.

I created the shroud around the oak tree and closed my eyes to concentrate as the gryphon neared. I felt it pass overhead- it must have been truly massive- bank to my left, and move off in the direction from which it had come. When I opened my eyes, I could see the creature flying back down into the canyon, but I could also feel the world becoming hazy and my lucidity fading. I quickly hopped to the ground (the limb was rather low-lying) and did the 'spin' technique I read about on this site. It helped, and I was able to watch the gryphon as it disappeared back into the wooded area on the canyon floor.

Suddenly, though, my posse was gone and I felt an uncomfortable tingling in my left arm. I awoke to find my left arm above me with my head pressing into my biceps. As anyone knows who ever sleeps in this position occasionally, the blood drains after awhile and the arm begins to throb. This turned out to be a false awakening- something I would discover later- but that is for another dream journal entry.

This marks the end of the beginning of my quest. I didn't see the Academy. I didn't speak to anyone about the Academy. But I know- somehow I am 100% certain- that the way to the Academy lies in the wooded area on that canyon floor. Maybe the Academy itself is there, or maybe the journey to it only begins there, but I have no doubt that that it is The Way. Next time, I will know to head north to the canyon. I will find the stony outcropping with the sprawling oak tree. From there I need only follow the crosshairs made by the low-lying limb. Next time, I will be prepared to face the gryphon- should it come- be it friend, foe, or otherwise.

Again, I had a non lucid dream while trying to WILD.
It was a very short dream (of what I can remember) I was playing TF2 and I was a Medic. I was running after my friend, who was a Pyro. Then, there was this vent on the floor. It started shaking, more and more. I went over to it to investigate. All of the sudden, it BURST into flames. I jumped back, as my other friend flew out, also dressed as a pyro.

DREAM NONDREAM LUCID

Just a side note here, I took around 60 mg of melatonin to cause REM rebound, BUT I DO NOT CONDONE TAKING SUCH A LARGE DOSE.

I woke up in the dream in my friend Tom's house, in his room on his second floor. His room was set up differently, but I could tell it was his room. I was sitting on the floor with his door open, when his cat Suzie walked up. Suzie was an old black cat, and she died of liquid flooding her chest last year, so it was odd to see her. I was petting her when my other friends, Julia and Bob showed up and were talking to me. Julia said hi to me, and was carrying Mouse, and greeted Suzie, their other cat, as she walked up. Her brother Bob walked up and started talking about World of Warcraft, "Two people just joined the raid, do you want to watch." I stood up and looked at Julia. Her room looked different and nonsensical for how her house is normally set up. For example, on her wall that normally faces her father's office, there was a window behind her and as I focused on her, she became more detailed as did the window behind her. I became lucid at once and declared "I'm dreaming!" and got the biggest grin on my face. I rushed down their stairs to their kitchen, remembering to rub my hands to stabilize the dream as I ran down, where I met my friend Lindsay. She said hi and waved at me, and she was eating something. I launched a lightning bolt out of my right hand and she said, "Good job on that by the way!" Referring to my power. I then focused and managed to do a Kamehameha, but could only do it by chanting the words. My energy when doing the Kamehameha was a blue, wispy sort of fire, as opposed to just an orb of energy. I then focused on my left hand and shot fire forth from it. The fire was almost a super imposed version of fire, and was almost cartoony. I then raised my hands above my head and started to charge a spirit bomb, and as I did the light caused the unrealistic shadows you'd see in an anime from a large energy mass. Like how everything is black outlines because of the bright lights. As I charged, the "camera" in my dream pulled out and started to roll pre episode credits, like for a cartoon, but sadly they made no sense. I then opened my eyes to launch the spirit bomb, but when I opened my eyes, I woke myself up.
