I had a lucid dream! I was flying, and knew I was dreaming immediately because I was flying I enjoyed this immensely because I was not shocked, and it didn't hit me like many members report, I wasn't over excited, and I didn't wake up. That was one thing I have tried to focus my intention on, approaching lucid dreaming with a calm and stable mind. So, I'm flying with my arms at my sides, parallel to the ground gazing foreward, going a little too fast for me to control, but I do forget to stabilize before trying to accomplish my goals so they don't work unfortunately and I lose lucidity within probably fifteen to twenty seconds. I was flying over a hilly grass area near a very large and beautiful tree, it was daytime. I first tried to change my altitude and method of flight [like hovering, or doing somersaults, etc.] but was unable to, and then I tried to "Earth Bend" like in the animated series Avatar, but I don't recall being able to move anything with my mind. So my next area of concentration will be dream stabilization!
[Sorry for the long post about a 15 second dream, but I feel quite proud and exhilarated from my experience, and overjoyed that I am moving closer to understanding the dream state]

In the dream immediately following or connected to the LD, I meet up with people I live and work with, and we are driving through rolling countryside along the coast of some huge lake or ocean. It is sunset and breathtakingly beautiful, I feel comfortable and adventurous. We pass through several cities, some we pass around at a height while still in the car. The cities are filled with large buildings seemingly made of adobe or concrete, very circular like Indian temple-skyscrapers, with a feeling reminiscent of elven towns from Lord of the Rings. I ask the driver town names and she gives some names of towns in the state where I live, which I do not notice. We come to a building in a town and enter and it's a type of leisure club, semi circular in design and spiraling upward, long decorative diamond strings hanging down like a mobile in some art museums or libraries. It seems there are many live performers/magicians performing strange things [though I do not remember] One of them gives me some type of small cellular type device connected to a balloon that looks like a large lightbulb. Holding it causes me to fly again, and I am soaring gently over the many people, and fly up through the building, very dark and intimate feeling with red and black tones and candlelight , filled with mystique. I come down to the ground, grab another and fly even higher, and I seem to be the only one flying though I am not a spectacle and I don't mind at all .

After flying I sit down with two old men/magicians/performers with beards, like monks or gurus, sitting cross legged and excitedly tell them about the lucid dream I had just experienced, how it felt and what had happened. They look interested and listen attentively, but do not say much - they sit and smile gently at me. As I look at them I am filled with peace and comfort, they give me a sense of encouragement and approval. When I finish my dream, and finish telling them breifly about the concept of lucid dreaming, one tells me, "well, that sounds like a dedicated task."

I had several more but must leave now, will update more later in the week since I have no internet access except the library, and will also enter in some memorable dreams from the last few months. Thanks for reading, I'd be glad to get any comments or encouragment or advice.

Title: My First Flight Date: 9/14/2010
Category: Flying Dream Lucidity: Mild Lucidity

Keywords: Blackness, Green, Floating / Flying, Vibrations


Description: I started at 04:30. I was laying flat on the bed with my hands at my side, relaxing my eyes. I had my Lucid Dream Timer set at 8,4,8,12,16,20,20,6. Within an Hr. I felt vibrations. Scenes were flashing before my eyes. I walked down a path from a house carrying a green plastic cover. I was holding the cover with both hands waving it trying to get all the dirt off. I could not keep the picture in my mind, everything went black. I felt my feet lift off the ground....I was floating. I could not see anything, but I felt it.

I was so excited by the prospect of floating that my energy rose too quickly and my dream state collapsed.

Note: To maintain the lucid dream state, you must modulate your emotions. (Don't let your energy rise too quickly).


Mental or Emotional State: Excited, Happy


Interpretation or Meaning: The color green represents luck, money, envy, new beginnings, nature and growth. It may also represent peace.

Blackness - Being "reborn" into the next phase of life.

Flying may represent freedom, or may represent the spirit. They may also represent rising above your difficulties or overcoming obstacles.

I'm walking around with some friends. They're old friends of mine, one of them is actually dead. They're all being really obnoxious and we're all laughing. We keep going into stores and just running around and making loud noises.

I leave them to go to what I think is my house. There is a feeling of impending doom as I walk through this very strange cookie-cutter neighborhood. Boots comes walking towards me. He's going on and on about, what I think is his upcoming trip to Greece. Then he starts saying things like, "google garble gluck gar gar grrr god damn god damn gluck google, gratch." Which honestly, isn't something he would only do in one of my dreams. I started laughing, he smiled and then we parted ways.

A girl ran out and greeted me. I don't know her, but I pretended like I did. She told me that I was crazy to be walking around without a purse. I mean honestly, what was I thinking? The war of the worlds was upon us and... wait, what? Yeah, the war of the worlds, possible looming apocalypse. I had to have a purse, at least.

To my dismay, all of the girls many purses were very large pairs of womens underwear. When I say very large, I mean that they stretched from my waist to the floor and I was very uncomfortable with this. "Um," I started, trying to pick my words carefully and not be rude, "why do you have so many large pairs of underwear?"
"Oh, well they're totally stylish."
"I see," I said. I began thinking about how utterly stupid fashion trends are. I left the house without a "purse."

Somewhere around this point I began singing Kimya Dawson songs, particularly Loose Lips. I felts as though it were looping through the dream.


It made me think about being lost in San Francisco with a car full of friends looking for a show and blasting this song and all singing along. As I was walking it started going up hill and I was in San Francisco. The pavement was wet and it was dark outside.

Somehow I managed to get to the battle. I'm still very confused about what it actually was. There was a huge gigantic tower-thing-contraption, that had a huge platform on the top of it. There were people standing on it and there were millions and millions of people surrounding it for miles. There were space ships omitting red and green sparks that were smashing into each other. Everyone was panicking.

I skipped the last two days for reasons I won't go into, but my dreams had been increasingly vivid and close to lucidity. And now a sort of breakthrough.

45 Minute Lucid (dild)

I woke up at 10, set me alarm and was back to sleep in a few minutes. Woke at 10:50. Lucidity weakened in some spots but I kept rediscovering lucidity, tried a few new things, my attempts at dream control were abysmal.

I saw an old man in a wheelchair fly and knew I was dreaming.

There was one scene where I get on my computer. I try to create a "Prof X" folder to see secret documents inside about his location but the computer acts too funny to use correctly. I click on a DV icon and open a chat and ask for a walk through. "Waka*blank* messages me (I don't know him, never heard of him) and we chat but he isn't helpful. I then try to slowly climb into my monitor but stuck halfway and exit.

I tried to enter my neighbors house but it never quite worked out. First, I lost vision but got it back. Then it happened again so I spun and teleported to what looked like a sort of farm with a barn. I lady peers at me from inside. A huge bull emerges. It attacked and I try to draw a sword but nothing. I grab its charging horns with my bare hands and rip them off, then stab it to death.

I explore my house, talk to my family at dinner about dreams, tell them about the earlier attempt at TV transportation attempt I enjoy a soft, flat taco. We are attacked my some gang but that part is pretty fuzzy.

Eventually I was wondering if I was ever going to wake up, I sat down and stared at my hand. I tried to zoom in on it to the atomic level but nothing really happened. I wake myself up.

So I really didn't get much accomplished.

Experienced SP, mixed together with some hallucinations
I awoke in the middle of the night. I had first the feeling that I weighted 3000 pounds, my heart beat slowly, but irregular. I heard my own voice saying (or maybe it were just my thoughts???): "This is how it feels like when there is too much gravity..."
Instantly, I had the feeling that I was flipped up side down, that I was flying. My heart beat very quickly and irregular. I got extremely scared. I heard at the same time: "and that's the feeling you get when there's no gravity at all!"

I don't remember what happened afterwards.
That's one of the most terrifying experiences I've ever made while sleeping

Hello again This morning, I had no time to post my dreams (first day of university!!). Anyway, I post now my 3 dreams.

1. I'm in my home town. For one unknown reason, I have to go to the town-centre, which is located in a valley (my home town is surrounded with hills, obviously). But the road is covered with ice. It's nearly impossible for me to make one step after another, I'm gliding over the ice. I decide to take another way (gliding down the hill seems to me too dangerous) and glide along a road away from the principle road.
In normal life, this roads leads to my old primary school, not far away from the city centre.
But suddenly there is no ice and I'm at a complete different place! This place looks like the region around my town, which is definitely not the place I want to be... The only difference is, that there is a river or lac in front of me, which I have to pass. ... AND I walk simply over the water and wave with my arms like if I tried to fly I'm asking myself how this is possible, don't find any explanation, but I keep on waving my arms and after 5 minutes, I'm on the other side.
I'm totally amazed. Suddenly, there is a pick-up truck in front of me. I simply jump in wait that the truck starts driving away
2. I'm in a shop. I have the urge need to.... buy something. Although there are just hammers, nails etc., I look for computergames. I find a few, but there aren't interesting at all. So I decide to continue my "quest" and look at different places in the shop. But after a few minutes I'm exhausted, so I decide to leave the shop.
3. I'm outsides, sitting in a comfortable chair and I'm smoking a cigarette (and I'm a convinced non-smoker). Alternatively, a few DC show up and disappear. Every time I see a DC, my cigarette disappears gone, and when a DC disappears, my cigarette is there again. I'm also wondering why I'm smoking a cigarette, but just keep on smoking...


To sum up, I missed every opportunity to become lucid

Two LDs, but hardly impressive. I didn't sleep well so I don't think I could have stabilized these tiny dreams.

But before all that, I once again practiced the daydream while trying to fall sleep. I'm going to make it a part of my regular routine so I'll note it in my journal in green. It's neat that I can recall the daydreams without any written notes. Wow, it's long. This is more like me writing a short story than a dream. If you're just looking for the actual dreams, skip down to the bottom.

Daydream: I'm running down a dark tunnel like a railroad tunnel with a light at the end. I'm going to search for the portal to the dream world, but first I'm going to look for that little town that I was in last night. As I'm running, I wonder what to call this place between the physical world and the dream world. But instead of picking a name, I decide I'll ask someone when I get there.

In the tunnel, a giant spider blocks my way. I'm afraid but I decide to face the fear. I try to talk to him and befriend him. I even pet him. I know that he's not a monster. He is a guardian, protecting me from entering a place I'm not yet ready for. It's the place that is dangerous, not the guardian. When I have faced my fear, I will be ready and the guardian will let me pass. The spider is friendly and lets me past. He will help me again in the future.

I emerge from the tunnel into a sunny valley with a quaint Renaissance-era town with cobblestone streets and houses. I imagine it looks like France and many of the people have French accents. I want to find Juliette and Marie again so we can all go to the dream world together. In the center of the town is a church. I go in and ask a nun where Juliette and Marie are. She says Marie lives across the street. I enter Marie's house and she's alone. I ask where Juliette is. Marie is worried. Juliette has gone missing. I say we'll find her. I grab Marie and jump high above the city. Marie points out Juliette's house and we swoop down. Inside we find Juliette's mother. She is upset. She says Juliette left alone to look for the portal. The mother is angry at me because I was the one that told people about the dream world. I promise I will find Juliette and bring her back. "Which direction would she have gone?" "East," the mother says, "toward the rising sun."

Marie and I head east and talk along the way. She tells me the name of this place is Never. It's a small town in the middle of a varied, realistic landscape. She says it's always been here. Apparently, nothing changes and people don't grow old. Kids go to school to learn Nothing. Marie and Juliette don't go to school, they are a few years older than that. No one has ever left. Juliette was the first one to try to leave. I ask, "What is east of Never?" She says, "The forest, and beyond it the mountains."

We reach the edge of the forest. It's a dark and foreboding woodland forest like one would see in Europe. Marie is afraid but I reassure her that everything will be okay. The giant spider returns. Marie is terrified but I try to stay calm and talk to the spider. I explain the situation and ask for his help. He gives me a rope made of his silk. He tells me to tie the rope to a tree at the forest edge. I can follow the rope back out of the forest so I won't get lost. Brilliant!

I turn around and Marie is happy and has a basket full of muffins. I eat one and it's delicious. I ask where and how she got freshly baked muffins. She says she's the daughter of the town baker and she can bake anything out of anything. She says Juliette is the daughter of the blacksmith and make any tool. She doesn't seem to think these magical powers are unusual.

We walk through the forest, trying to find paths and signs that Juliette would also have followed. We meet a large sparrow and I try to talk with him to ask for help. He doesn't speak, but he comes with us perched on my arm. We come upon areas of bright yellow light that teleport us to other parts of the forest. I check the rope and it's still taught, so I trust it will still lead the way out. Marie and I stop to rest and lo and behold Juliette finds us. We are relieved and follow the rope out of the forest and then walk back to town.

Me, J, and M try to think where the dream portal could me. They really want to know about the dream world and also the physical world. I become aware of physical body and I feel like I'm being pulled out of Never. Eventually I let go come back to the physical world, still awake.

0005: C. My notes are mostly illegible. I remember it being a robust dream but all I can decipher from my notes is this: Hugh, Dave, and I ... Star Trek. Dave ... beer ... has a character like Captain Picard ... They introduce themselves. One girl is a comedian and this intrigues me.

0637: D. I'm in bed and it's dark. I think I have a laptop. I hear Linkin Park music. I'm typing in "laser" to a web browser to search. But I keep spelling it wrong. Then I think I've got it right but the browser shows an error page. I think it's because I spelled it wrong. But I realize it's an internet connection problem. I think, maybe Hugh pulled the plug? Why would he do that? I start to get out of bed when suddenly I'm being dragged out of bed by the wire on my headphones. I'm pulled toward the desk in my room, defying gravity. Ugh. I'm dreaming. But these are hardly good conditions. I'm being ripped through the air by my ears in great pain and darkness. "Stabilize!" No luck. Dream ends abruptly.

0740: D. I'm in bed (again) lying on my right side. I open my eyes and the view is distorted. It's like the picture is being sucked into a vortex somewhere to the upper left. I realize I'm dreaming (again) but these aren't good conditions (again). "Stabilize!" I rub my left hand across the mattress sheet to get some tactile sensation. Dream ends abruptly.

All I remember from last night's dreams were the feeling of being lost and slight flashes of scenery.

This morning I could remember the dreams in full, but a few hours passed and I completely forgot my intention to write them down here. Usually I remember my dreams through the whole day and sometimes a few days after but for some reason or another they seemed to have slipped my mind. Figures, I would forget my dreams after the night before declaring that I was going to start posting in my dream journal more often.

If you are reading this wondering why I'm talking about my dream recall and nothing really about my dreams, it's because usually when I start to talk about my dreaming experiences I start to recall the dreams I forgot previously. My mind works in that kind of funny way, but I enjoy it.

Unfortunately my technique is failing to work on this attempt, but I have confidence that I will remember a lot more from tonight's dreams. If I remember anything later on in the day I'll be sure to document, because that also happens. Crazy trains of thought that end up in sudden recall.

Till next time!

High School Dream, Again! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Setting:
- Saint Louis School of Mandaue

Time Occured:
- around 7:30 - 8:30, i guess it was my last dream during the whole sleep

Dream Characters:
- Joshua
- Moi
- Elbao


It all started in a very weird way, like a manga was infront of me and I'm reading it. Moi and the girl he courts is in the gym. Moi was kneeling down and offered flowers to this girl, but gets rejected again. End of the scene.

After a while, I heard people shouting, coming from the theater. I didn't see what's happening but I knew that there's a play going on. Moi is one of the cast, but I didn't have interest in this kind of stuff so I went on my way. I went inside the main building and continued walking. As I was approaching the room of the Glee Club, I noticed the girl Moi was courting, entering the room. I thought it was weird seeing her enter that room (since she isn't a member), and she was bringing a bottle of Coca-Cola. I instantly thought she changed her mind about Moi. The ring bells, and it was lunch time.

I headed to my room in the fourth floor of the building, and met Moi and Joshua. We walked along the corridor, which was filled with students everywhere. We stopped by a girl and I told her something (I totally forgot who she was and what I told her) and went on our way. We went down the stairs, and suddenly I was in the gym, and I was alone.

I continued to walk and saw someone in the bleachers, Elbao. As I tried to approached him, darkness began to appear. Bam! End of the dream.

09/20/10



We're taking our lunch break. A bottle of Starbucks Frappuccino appears in my hand. It's delicious; the taste is replicated perfectly.

"Are you ready to go?" My dad asks, from the couch. He's asking if I'm ready to go back to work.

"I haven't even eaten yet!" I say, exasperated.

I'm a stranger thrown into a chaotic world. There is war. Half the population is destroyed. We our part of the planet was thought to be safe but was over run by mutants. We escape. We see so many airplanes flying in thinking they are coming to be safe but we watch as they are shot down in flames. We make our way to a safer place.*
I am going down river with hundred of others. We all have boats. Some are taking it slow and even fishing. I run a tolling motor. I take it slow so that I don't disturb the others. At some point nothing works right I go to fast and crash. I end up on the bank. But I am hurt. I pass out as I see a man coming my way.*
I wake up in a batch tub. There is a tiny yellow fish in the water. A boy is next to me. I ask him what happened and he explains. The fish swims around. Jumps and lands in the edge and flops. The bath water keep rising and falling like ocean waves. I push the fish into the water. It pauses mid air for a second and then falls in the water. I laugh. Then I feel something larger bite under my thigh. I jump up and see a turtle. It is trying to bite me. The boy says he put it there and I tell him it's a snapper and to get it out. The turtle is leaf green with spikes around the sides. I reach to grab it but the boy does first.***
We are lounging outside in a rock formation. A crown passes.*
*There is a robot. 5080C? He's the brain. *I see someone from the first *another man recognizes him and says something like *You must be bullet proof . I think yeah big deal we've all been through hell. The saviour. The one with the plan. Our best hope.We follow it. *New Mexico like desert. Walking into a town. We look back. Can see fireballs streaking toward us in the night sky. We watch frozen not sure what it is or what to do. It gets closer and bigger. I realize they are bombing*the city. Someone says to get under ground level in a basement. We run and hide. Safe. The view switches I see the shock wave roll in. Buildings are wiped out. People are ripped apart and melt like wax figures and their limbs and heads pull away as flesh stretches and strings away like cheese in a hot pizza and their blood turn into green bubbling goo comes I see in the building above. A woman was in a bathtub. She dies horribly.*
I have made my way to some high tech refuge camp. I have to take a computerized test and if I pass I can go where it is safe. A has already gone. I desperately want to be with her. I take the test I am waiting for my results. Fail. I see as others pass and go into a strange telleporter. They are immersed in a clearish plastic or wax and somehow vanish to another place. I wonder if there bodies are destroyed and rebuilt somewhere else. I wonder if they are really alive. I dismiss it. I take the test again. I see the results. It's a lower grade. I am panicy and frustrated. Time is running out. The enemy is coming. I really don't know anything about anything that going on. * The test keeps asking about current events. I am sent to a desk. There are star wars like projections. They are counselors from someplace else. Some of them are missing I get the sense there are being attacked. I sit down and before we begin the man disappears and is replaced by a feather looking thing. I bends forward and shocks me. I jump back. I start toward it again and it shocks me once more. Someone ushers me away. It is a woman. She tells me I have to take the GED written test. I protest but it is no use. The other flunkies and I are hurried into a room with tables. We immediately begin the test. The first question asks about 5080C. It wants to know if his vision for humanity is A) pratical B) mystical C) two part. explain.
I panic I have no clue. I look at my neighbor. I think I see her put mystical. So I write it. She reaches over and erases my answer and changes it to two part. She whispers something. The test monitor sees and comes over she reaches for our tests and pauses. I think she is going to fail us. I am so scared. I just wanted to be with Alysha. She has a change of heart and takes her hands away. I wake up. * * *

I am on the bed with her. The bed is on a platform with a half circle step and then nothing. It is all hovering. And then everything is surrounded by a cage. I don't feel trapped. I know I can get out of I wish. We are talking and playing with various hamsters and mice. *

Beach after school (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

School was over for today. It was a hoy, sunny day. My last class had been really odd, one of the girls in the class had claimed to be a witch and she had grabbed my arm and tried to conjure some spell or some shit like that. I was creeped out, but I knew she was just a weirdo. I went outside to take a breath. 3 guys look and point at me.
"Fuck, I gotta call Lusho, I can't take all 3 of them by myself" I thought.
When they were close, two of them stayed behind and one of them approached me.
"Let's go, you and me, right now" he says to me. I was little confused, but why not, I love fighting.
The fight starts, he is at a distance where we can't land punches, but close enough to kick his face. He obviously doesn't know I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I throw a side piercing kick to his nose, breaking it instantly, as I put my foot down close to him I follow by a jab and a hook to his face, knocking him uncounscious. I turn around and see that his 'friends' fleed the scene.
I go back inside to meet with my girlfriend. We go to her house and watch T.V. in the basement. I hadn't noticed her mom doing laundry in the room next to where we are, and I say
"Damn, I wish your brother wasn't in the house right now"
My girlfriend opened her eyes really wide, as if I had just said something I shouldn't said, when I finally realize that her mom is right there, laughing.
"It's just that he is tired and wants to sleep, and Lucas (My gf's brother) is making too much noise" Says my gf to her mom, as an excuse to my statement.
"Oh so that's what they call it these days 'being tired' hahaaha" her mom says, while laughing.
The dream skips and I'm on a boat with my gf and some friends

The water is crystal blue, we arrive at a small, cozy beach. We all have our snorkeling equipment. We jump out of the boat and start swimming around, watching fishes. There's many kind of species I hadn't seen before. I can see many puffer fishes the size of a basket ball, I'm scared they will pop in any moment and be stabbed by their needles. I see some kind of fish with anemonas attached to it. The tips of each of it's 'hair' has a glowing dot, blue in colour.
We go to the shore and start playing soccer.
the dream shades.

Had a dream I was watching The Expendables. There were some action scenes I don't fully recall and Arnold Schwarzenegger was in the movie more than a cameo. I remember thinking "Well this is more like co-starring rather than a cameo". There was also this Australian guy with frilly hair in the movie and I remember thinking he was the main bad guy from "The Condemned". Unfortunately I wasn't able to lucid dream, when my alarm went off for the CANWILD I had to go to the bathroom. I got back to my bed and remained aware and my entire body went numb but it wasn't SP. I almost entered it at one point and I may have because my alarm went off at 5:30 and when I decided to stop trying for a WILD I looked at my clock and it was almost 7, so I got up and got straight on here.

Had a couple of lucid dreams last night. They were all very low on lucidity though. Maybe a 2. I kept thinking weirdly while i was their. Like i thought i was shared dreaming, but it really was just some DC's. But it was mainly centered around the MW2 level terminal. So i didn't do anything fun except shoot someone with a crossbow once or twice. Oh well. BTW tried wilding last night, but i don't have the patience i like i used to i guess. After 10 minutes i couldn't stand laying their anymore. Then when i tried to actually go to sleep everything on me felt like it was hurting. I don't know what it is, but it annoys me.
