ok i spent hours on these forums yesterday, i even tried writing on a piece of paper "i will have a dream and i will remember"...... i could not recall my dreams but something was different, i cant describe it but it was the best sleep i have had in weeks. i felt as if i was dreaming and aware of it but i just could not remember the dream. ........ thanks for all the posts guys i will be trying this LDing as best i can, i have had a few before but i never knew it could be improved by training. i just had dreams and knew in the dream i was dreaming and then took control (got sht...hence my name and flew in the same dream.
So I can only remember a few short parts of the last dream I had. I remember I was with my friend David in an unfamiliar place. It was someones house out in the country or something like that. I remember dense foliage almost like a jungle but not quite. What I remember best about the dream was that there was an elaborate and very large jungle gym in the yard. It was like a jungle gym for adults, and you had to do some pretty crazy physical feats to navigate it, almost like an obstacle course. I remember being on it and navigating the whole thing with slight ease (though I don't remember what I did), until I got to this one specific part. You had to jump a very far distance, land a foot on the side of a board, and use that split second your foots on the board to do another smaller jump to get on the platform. I remember trying it and I couldn't make it, and so I fell into what I think was water (this will change later on). Once I got out I remember seeing my friend David try it and he couldn't get past the part I tried. I just gave up and decided to walk further along a path that was in front of me. Eventually I reached a group of people, and I felt like I was a part of this group. I had lost track of David at this point, and actually thinking about it now I think I forgot about him, because I don't remember him in any other part of my dream. I do remember however seeing my coworker Isaac. Isaac is younger than I am and has red hair, he is a pretty cool guy to work with and we talk quite a bit whenever we work together. He was the only one in the group that I recognized, and we began talking (I don't remember what it was about). The group was standing in front of what looked like a bridge. The bridge was made of wood, was fairly large and had a U shape to it (like one you would see in a jungle). Underneath it was a river, and behind us to the right was the obstacle course. For some reason I thought this group I was in was on a field trip and we were waiting for the leader of the group to begin walking past the bridge, but the leader never showed up so we never crossed it. While I was waiting for the group leader I looked over at the Jungle Gym/Obstacle course, and saw two guys on it. I watched as both of them got to that single part that I had failed and they both failed it too. Seeing them gave me new interest in it so I tried it again, but like last time I failed at the jump part. This time however when I fell I fell into what was a mixture of dirt/mud. It wasn't the same thing I fell into the first time though, but I didn't realize it until after I had woken up. I remember getting this dirt/mud all over my back, and unto my white shirt and was pissed at that. I went into the house but only remember a slight bit of being inside it, and I think I saw my friend Daylen. That's all I remember from last night. Not a lot, but it's something atleast.

Thursday 2/6/11 I woke up this morning amused from the dream I had There was a large, wide, white staircase that happened to be suspended in space. Jamie, Adam and I were running down (skipping several steps at a time) in slow motion. Adam (not the one that has a beard and looks like a walrus) handed me a blue, cosmic ball of light which glowed brightly in my cupped hands. I drew in it with the tip of my finger which made white light shine out of my markings. Adam and I seemed to have a good laugh and got on very well. I woke up feeling like I had new friends.
There was a train on a very linerar track that moved automatically on autopilot. It moved through a dark city. Unlike many other dreams of mine that have trains I had a little bit of control over this one. I could not steer it or make the train deviate from its pre-programmed route but I could use the brake to slow the train down or even stop it, which I had to do several times because there always seemed to be people on the track who would not notice the train until it was very close. I managed to never hit anyone by slowing the train down and sounding the loud horn. At one section of the route, which seemed to be the edge of the city, the streets were tilted and twisted and very very oddly placed and I had to stop the train to avoid it crashing into a building or something. I got off the train and it continued its automatic route without a pilot. The twisted streets defied gravity and were on steep angles yet all of the buildings stayed in place and looked like they had been built to accommadate the twisted and angled streets. There is some more to this dream, something about being on or near a warf by a large bridge that spans a river or something, but I cannot remember any of it.
Keep Away I am at Hogwarts. I am there with MoSh in the great hall, eating. I notice that it seems everyone but MoSh is staying away from me and I wonder why. MoSh also doesn't know. I eat and then I go to classes. I notice that everyone seems to be staying at a distance from me. Do they think I'm diseased or something? It makes no sense. The next and final round of the martial arts challenge is starting. My opponent doesn't even fight, she just steps out of the ring, thus losing. She hurries away, ignoring the disgusted look she gets from Vegeta. MoSh fights Cedric and wins. Hermione fights Victor Krum and wins, though they look very cozy after. Back in Slytherin common room people still avoid me. One of my roommates says she isn't surprised... I'm scary. Final Frontier or Eve I am in space in my Fire Valkyrie. I am flying along side Tigress, who is in the custom ship she built. She says she is surprised to see me since she thought I wasn't interested in playing Eve. I'm not sure what she is talking about... last time I looked we were testing a level of Final Frontier. Regardless, we are in the role of space pirates intercepting a shipment of a rare ore heading from the mines to some corporate conglomerate to line zone rich CEO's pockets. There is a small squad if fighters with the transports, but it is actually a bit disappointing that there aren't more. Note to self... more enemy fighters with the transports. We easily claim the transports and their cargo. Um... what now? Well, to finish the quest, we take the ore to the planet needing it. Then we get paid. We take the ore to a planet similar to Earth with colorful rings. We leave the transports at a space station in exchange for platinum bars. Nice. Those are worth a lot on the open market. Epic Fail I am at a job fair. I look around, I was thinking Tigress would also want to be there, but I don't see her. I am thinking she must have already gotten taken into the back room for an interview, maybe a job. I hope she has found something good. There are quite a few game studios represented at the fair. I want a job, too. I finally have a game studio show interest in me. I go with them back for an interview. I have my laptop with me to show some of my work. But everything I try to load either doesn't load or it loads wrong an looks like shit. The interviewers laugh at me. They give me one more chance in the form of a test, but I am so upset from my failed presentation that I can't figure out anything for the test. I leave the interview feeling dumb, epic fail.
Now, this technique is best preformed with WBTB and works in the same way as a FILD. What you do when you wake up from sleeping is close your eyes and lie down. Then count '1 I am lucid dreaming' '2 I am lucid dreaming' '3...' '4....' '5.....' and so on. Once you reach 51, preform a reality check, and you will be dreaming. Let me know your thoughts and experiences Thanks
This dream was really, really long! It felt like about 3-4 hours, even though I was only asleep for 45 minutes. There was also a lot of detail in this dream, but I forget big patches of it. I had a bunch of friends over, including Jeremy. My house looked different, the front end which contains the living room seemed larger, and the furniture was in a position we used to have it years ago. We were all playing with electronics, and I think before that we were playing the Wii. Most of the lights were off, and we had some kind of device which made sparks. After touching the sparks, I instantly gained the ability to create sparks with my hands, rationalising it as static electricity. Jeremy also touched the device, and started shooting sparks at me. We ran around the house in the dark, playing with sparks. Mine were a bright green, his were a bright blue (opposite to what they're supposed to be..) and we kept going until suddenly, they stopped working. Our friends had unplugged the device during some kind of event (not sure what happened?). I found an old hat from the primary school I went to, laying ontop of a small white cupboard that doesn't exist. I put it on, like the cool guy I am, when I heard a car pull up outside - my dad was home I recognised the deep rumble of the engine, my dad had been dropped home by one of his old friends who drives a Mini Cooper S. I looked in the car, and it was full of hundreds of copies of the same book. It was a red hard cover book, with white print on the front which was yellowed with age. I remembered knowing what the book was, that it was some sort of book related dad used to be into, my mind created the idea that it was about Mini Coopers and I ignored it. Suddenly, two small children, a boy and a girl ran across from my neighbor on the left side. They had just knocked and ran, and were running to their house. They lived on the neighboring house to me on the right side. The man who owned the house came out and chased the kids, and started yelling at them about how it wasn't funny, next to my house, while I walked back inside to find my friends. There feels like there was a lot more in this dream, but these are the only parts I remember properly EDIT: This morning I woke up and started discussing with dad about my lucid dream, and how wonderful it was to have had another one. We started talking about the infinite possibilities readily available in dreams, and the way those concepts apply to waking reality through a lot of the Eastern religions. After an hour or so, he went out to his room and bought back two books. As soon as I saw it, I recognized it and realized that it hadn't been a book about Mini Coopers. This book was "The Path Of The Masters".

I don't recall how this dream quite began, all I know is I realized one of my dream signs Instantly I think "Hold on, this only ever happens in my non-lucid dreams, whoa!" I performed the nose RC and felt the air rush into my throat. Quite an odd feeling, to say the least. I stood up and looked at my room, and everything started to get really blurry and I found myself extremely dizzy. I stayed calm, and knew in my mind that the dream wouldn't end. I breathed deeply, and used the 'lucid glasses' technique, materialising a pair of glasses and putting them over my eyes. Instantly, everything went to a 'realistic' level of detail, and then it went even further! I had no depth of field, I could see everything in front of me in absolute clarity. It was incredible, and I've never had a dream where I've experienced anything like it before. I believe I left my room, and walked to the other side of my house, taking in as much detail as I could. I missed a few obvious differences from my real house, but everything seemed so hyper-realistic, I was enthralled. It was a sunny day, and everything was lit up in this magnificent golden afternoon sunlight. I reached my loungeroom, and decided "Heck, other people do it." and so, I decided to lick the floor. The tile was smooth, and tasted quite like I expected it - flavourless, except for the hint of dirt. I walked over to the office, and found my mother on her computer. She started talking to me about something, and I received a text message from my dad about a graphics card and gaming (possibly part of the dream I was having before I was lucid) but I said to her, "That isn't important!" This is when I remembered my dream goal - to teleport and find my friend Jeremy (forceez) in my dream. I focused on seeing his green aura through smoke, and tried to shift where I was to find him. I failed, I didn't know where he was going to be. I tried again, and still got nothing, and ended up disheartened. I wanted to find a different way to get to him, and I ended up in my backyard. I saw one of the brick walls of my house, but there was nothing in front of it where we normally have chairs stacked up. Two of my friends have told me whenever they see me in a dream I'm next to an endless brick wall, and it's happened more than once. I wanted to use the wall to teleport, by walking through it and finding Jeremy on the other side. I was confident it would work. I focused on Jeremy and touched the wall. Instant blackness. I wake up, sleeping on my stomach, in full SP. I focus on where I was, infront of the wall in my backyard. "Go back, go back, go back, go back." I ended up coming out of SP, and my intention drifting away. I rolled over, extremely excited and wrote in my DJ It's good to be back!

so im in an airport minding my own business and i hear some commotion from somewhere. i look to see this kid (like 8 or 9) stealing the shoes (literally) off some helpless traveller. im shocked and i want to do something about it but the kid is getting away. hes already gotten outside but when he looks back into the airport through the glass walls i make eye contact with him and point to let him know this shit is unacceptable. then (very much like last nights dream) shit hits the fan and i know this little gangster kid is going to beat the crap out of me. so...I RUN! another chase dream. so im running through this airport with this kid on my tail but my useless smoker lungs are holding me back and the kid catches up and he fucking stabbed me man! and it really hurt. up until now i had no idea how much real pain can be experienced in dreams. at this point i black out and there some kind of game over screen. it looks like a close up of the metroid helmet (not sure if the image actually exists in the game, haven't actually played metroid) and i am re-spawned sitting on a bench in this strange stone maze. i can still feel the pain from the stabbing and i lift up my shirt to see three nasty looking stab wounds. touch them and become more and more aware of the pain in my internal organs. i awake and still feel like ive just been stabbed and have to check my chest again hahahah
I now successfully DEILD back into the dream. Ah, back to the water park with two hot foxes(not real foxes, you know what I mean)! So, we continue our fun at the water park. At one point, we arrive at a very unique water slide. Here's how it works: You slide down, then the slide curves upward. As you fly off the slide into the air, there's a rope hanging from an overhead bar. Grab the rope and continue to go forward. Finally, make your epic plunge into the water. The blonde goes down first. Now, the Asian is feeling unsure about this slide. I decide to go down to show her it's not so bad. So, I go down. I then fly up and I have the rope. I now swing forward. Even in my dream I'm scared. "This was a mistake!" I'm now swinging back and forth holding on like a total pussy. I now think to myself: What the fucking hell is wrong with me?! This is a dream! Why should I be afraid?! I now notice that I'm slowing down, so I jump and take a plunge. Pretty much, the rest of this dream was me screwing around with these chicks at the water park. I eventually awake.
NOTE: I've been working very hard to finish the TOTY. I've done 6 of 12 up to now. Also, my last day of school is tomorrow! So, if I'm lucky, my LD rate will double over break like it did last summer break. But my rate was 4-5 a month last year. Now it's 6-7! Finishing TOTY will be my main priority this summer. I expect to atleast have 10 of 12 done by the time school starts. I will be taking breaks to do personal tasks and the LPTC tasks as well. I'm unable to recall when I became lucid, but I'm aware it was at school. So, another MILD to the count. But right now, I am at an outdoor water park. I'm well aware that I'm busy on doing the 300 Spartans TOTY, but I decide I could use a break. Not to mention all the time I'll have this summer(Strongly expressing my note above). So, I see a very hot black-haired Asian chick and a very hot blonde chick. I ask if I can join them. They say yes. From that point, we screw around at the water park. After awhile, I awake. Damn! I'll probably have to get up for school now. No, fuck it. My Dad'll wake me up when he gets back. This whole time I haven't moved or opened my eyes. Time to DEILD back to my fun dream.
I am at my friends house, they are smoking weed. I leave the room and come back to find they had smoked almost all of it without me. Later, still annoyed about the weed, I am watching "Alice in Wonderland" with my brother and we talk about how psychedelic it is. Then I walk outside with my friends and go around town. I surprise one of them and say "101 ways to surprise him." I go into a shop but for some reason everybody in it is Spanish. I buy biscuits out of the packet at a self check-out thing, but because they have no label they need to get the manager. He comes and says that it would take 10 minutes to sort out, I say "Ah, but that's a long time!", he says "Is not a long time . . . " and I say "Yes but my friends will leave." I call one of my friends and ask him to wait 10 minutes, he says "Okay." I wait there for a few minutes, it turns to night and the manager comes back with half a packet of dark chocolate biscuits as an apology gift. He then says I can leave, without charging me. Lots of people run back in to buy something, they are in a hurry because a movie in the cinema is starting. The shop owners like me, so they start yelling and causing a scene to get revenge on the people for leaving me. I take out €12 from my pocket and ask someone how much a movie ticket costs. They tell me it's €10. I run outside, following my friend to the cinema. I'm in a field, it's dark, foggy and wet. I yell "I can't see you anymore!" as he gets lost in the fog. I then start to follow other people.
I was in the main room of my house, and everything looked as though it was like the movie Tron: Legacy. I was basically on a team with the British judge on the TV show "So You Think You Can Dance," this woman I've never met before, this bald guy on the anime "Bleach," and I looked like Chase from the TV show "House." Basically we would run around fighting other teams, and the team with the most points would win, and the losing team would die or something. If you hit the other time three times with a disc, (my team's discs were blue) then your disc would turn into a animal on contact. I did this, and then when my discs hit something, they would turn into large blue dolphins, about the size of a minivan. I threw 4 discs at this one guy, and he dodged the last one, but it turned into a dolphin and wrapped around him and he died or something. Then we started another match, but as it turns out, we were all there for punishment of some sort, and the authorities wanted to get rid of us, so they divided the team into two teams and made us fight. I was with the bald guy. I was fighting the British judge, and he was good. He dodged all of my throws and I dodged his. Then, it turns out we were in some sort of holodeck or something, because everything started malfunctioning. There were random animals flashing around the room. Then the other team basically decided to stop fighting, they blamed it on the malfunctions but I could tell they didn't want to fight. We went to the table for a meal, and it looked disgusting. It was owl meat apparently, but it smelled really weird. My plate had what looked like a half melted top half of an owl, and it was dripping in gravy or something. There was also peas and mashed potatoes. I felt as though I should eat it, because I thought that food might be scarce and I should be grateful. I wasn't even hungry, though.
Fragment: Cassie asks me, "Am I silent?" I tell her, "There is no silence." The dynamic of the conversation was like, she brought up Kierkegaard's Bird of the Air, Lily of the Field, and I responded with John Cage's 4:33. EDIT: Oh yeah, and while I am saying 'there is no silence', suddenly my mind is flooded with sounds of wind, birds, and even the sound of ants walking!
The dream started with a guy who wanted to split a city in two. He put a glassdome over the town (Simpsons) and a glasswall down in the middle. The people of the town sprayed graffiti on the glasswalls and cursed about the guy insulting clowns. Then the dream changed. I was at the entrance of a cliffcave, where my maid (apparently I had one) was drinking some white liquid falling down from the caveroof. She shared half with me. Then we went to look at a row of nicely 'dressed-out' pumpkins. Then I realised we were pumpkins. The row of pumpkins were the finest selection from each Halloween. Then suddenly the cave was the hallway on my school at the kids row (C gangen). People tripped over the pumpkins and broke them, and my maid and I rushed to get them stabled to the wall so people didn't hit them. Then I saw that some douchebag Jakob intentionally broke one of the pumpkins. I kicked him on the shin, but he laughed and said 'Haha, I wear boots'. I chased after him, but he got lost in the crowd. I was at the entrance to the SFO when I realised it was a dream. I did a 180* spin to change the dreamscape, although I was at the same place, but the crowd had disappeared. I went into the classroom on the right and did another spin. I was now in a chair with a blanket on my lap. Some people formed a row in front of me. Things were getting all blurry, so I lifted my hands in front of me to focus, but my hands were pretty much gone and left my arms which were blurry at the end. Instead I focused on the blanket's sheet. When I looked back up, everything was clear. The girl in the front row (Kathrine?) had gorgeous green eyes and said something to me, but either I didn't hear it or I don't remember it. I stood up and walked against the door, but stopped and did another 180* spin. This time Cecilie (<3) was sitting on a table, chatting with another girl (Maria?). I sat beside her, then held my arms around her and she asked "what did you do wrong this time?". I replied "nothing". I wanted to kiss her, but even in my dreams I am too afraid. Then I remembered I had to beat up that Jakob douche, so I went out on the hallways, where there were NO PEOPLE. I then did a 180* spin and Jakob was being forced against the wall. I then proceeded to beat the shit out of him. Suddenly a mass-fight broke out on the hallway, so I walked out of it. I attempted to do another 180* spin, but accidentally closed my eyes, so I woke up.
