Sunfire

It was the middle of night outside my house. I realised i was dreaming when i had to get to Amy, who was in mum and dads car. I found her phone in my pocket so i couldnt contact her. I thought, 'Well if this is a dream ill just jump in my car.' I was struggling to drive at all, it just span and jolted. I decided to look at my hands to gain control and stabalize. I had trouble staying lucid and my hands were just spinning round and round. I snapped out of it and was sat back in the car exactly as i was before. I took a moment to look around and realised how dark and alone i was. No street lamps on, and i panicked slightly as id had difficulty controlling the dream so far. Thats when i had bad thoughts - 'What if theres soneone behind me when i turn round?' And because i imagined it, i turned round and there was a white face sat staring at me above the headrest. An entirely white face, white eyes, with no hair or body. It made me jump and as i kept turning my head i noticed there was now more white heads sitting in each seat of my car. Pretty freaky actually. This all happened fast and i was very close to waking myself up, but i took a second to compose myself and remind myself i was dreaming and i was perfectly safe. I turned back to the head poking over my headrest, looked it dead in the eye and said "See you later lads," before putting my hand up to give his nose a little wiggle and getting out. As i opened the door all the heads gave me a smile to say goodbye. Now i was walking along the side of Sompting rec in the dark still. I decided the darkness didnt match my nightmare conquering good mood. So i looked up and could see the glow of the sun right down under the horizon. Using my hands and my mind i pulled the blazing sun across the night sky. It moved fairly fast for its size! The huge ball of fire replacing the stars with light. The sun was now directly above me with steam visibly coming off it into a big blue sky. I looked down again and it was just like a normal daytime dream again. Even the air smelt fresher, and i could see and hear kids now playing in the playground.
Everything was much more homely. I took a minute to stabalize the dream again, running my hands down the bushes at the side of the school. As i was watching my hands touch each fern and leaf poking out of the fence i could feel the dream become more vivid again. I even ran my hands over a wet glistening spiders web within the bushes, ever so gently to avoid breaking it, but enough to feel the damp silk clinging to my fingers. When i turned round young Andy was there, and i was stood just outside Jamie's shed. Apparently Andy had seen me move the sun with my bare hands and was understandably amazed. He guided me in towards he shed, which now had a pool table in the middle of the room. He asked to see what else i could do, he snapped a pool cue in half over his knee and handed it to me. I held a half in both hands. Holding the bottom still in my right and running my left along the cue from the top towards the break. As my left hand past halfway and covered the break i imagined it being fixed. I pulled my hand off, and the cue was as good as new again. Andy was again impressed.

In relevance to the title; often after becoming Lucid I follow the story line from the original dream to keep me entertained. However some dreams don't test you to your full potential, fortunately this one did.

I was having a dream where me and my brother Robbie where on the run from some sort of Korean army, (about 30 blokes, some in jeeps and tanks.) We were running over some hill top with them in pursuit when we came across a little abandoned shed. We ran and hid in the shed, but it was so small Robbie was freaking out. He ran out the shed and unfortunately was seen and shot. More so though they had seen him come out of his hiding place and all stopped outside. I could see through various gaps and holes in the sheds panels exactly what was happening. They knew I was inside and the were coming right towards me.

This was the point where I became lucid as I was panicking and just about to wake myself up, therefore realising that I was dreaming. Now lucid, I stayed in the shed and watched them approaching. As the first person reached the shed he pulled out an RPG, and put the end through one of the holes in the shed right in front of me.

What happened next was inspired by something I had seen in a film; X-men First Class. In it, a character called Sebastian Shaw has the ability to - "Absorb the energy of any impact he is struck by, including not only direct physical blows, but also the impact of bullets."

So when the rocket was fired directly at me, I almost caught the force between my hands and squeezed it down to nothing. I also have a video for you so you can visualise it

XMen Sebastian Shaw - YouTube

After I had effectively absorbed the first one, several more followed, including multiple shots at the same time. Between catching the RPG's I had made a force field shield around me with my bare hands and was sustaining it with my mind. My vision was constantly quite blurred and chaotic, as you can imagine from the video, but I could still see out towards the rest of the army standing in the background a few hundred yards away. I stuck a hand out, whilst deflecting bullets with my other, and literally crushed the remaining men and vehicles at will with my hand.

This happened until there was nothing left but burning vehicles and mangled bodies. It was quite an epic display of power, although hard to describe. Though I did wake up feeling great about myself. Thanks for reading!

Last time I was on this site I was reading an entry from someone who was saying they were afraid to Lucid Dream in case they couldn't wake themselves up. To me that's not a problem as even before I knew about LDing I could force myself awake when something bad was happening - so I thought id experiment a little.

The other night I was in the middle of a non-lucid dream, and things where getting bad, (This nowadays is where I usually become Lucid and change it.) But on this occasion I wanted to wake myself up differently from normal, no forcing myself awake. Normally I force my eyes open from within the dream and kinda feels like i'm sucking myself out of the dream.

So when shit started going down I tried to find a different way to leave the dream. Now lucid of course, I walked through an alleyway and into a little corner shop style thing. It was dark and dingy and like a little old sweet shop. I spoke to the lady at the counter, a tiny little, very old Chinese lady, looked almost like a witch sort of character. I said to her whilst looking at all the different sweets and stuff lined up on the counter and in jars -

"I need you to give me something that will wake me up."

She took a moment to think and pottered around, and come back with a dark blue sphere shaped sweet. I was well aware that outside the shop was still very hostile and coming closer. The DC handed it over and nodded assertive and reassuringly to me. I popped it into my mouth and swallowed it whole. Instantly my vision went funny, bright colours in a spiralling black tunnel, It felt like I was being pulled backwards through the tunnel head first. Only about three seconds later I was awake on my pillow, slightly shocked, but it worked! How amazing was that!

So yeah I thought that was a pretty cool experiment, and something new to me. Worked just how I wanted it too though and would be interesting to see if that style works on anyone else, (I know most people don't want to wake up from LDs,) but if they did then give it a try or let me know ways you have tried!

Just wanted to say I was particularly pleased with myself this morning. I am still very much learning and normally I realise I am in a dream when something bad happens; being chased, ghosts, deaf. At which point I would take over Lucidly and change the nightmare. However last night I impressed myself by becoming Lucid by noticing something much smaller - See I can drive but I don't have a car. In the dream I had forgotten something and was driving rapidly back to my house to fetch it, then It dawned on me that I couldn't be driving if I don't own a car, and became Lucid from there. Good progress!

Saturday Morning 22nd June 2013

I have lay-ins at weekends and Saturday mornings are an ideal time for me to Lucid Dream. I've been struggling for results during the week still as I'm just too tired and waking up early for work.

Anyway, I started with a false awakening, completely and utterly unaware that I was dreaming. I was in my house walking down the stairs, I would say about 6am. I was so convinced it was real I remember tip toeing down the stairs to avoid waking me parents up! As I got to the bottom of the stairs and looked into the kitchen I could see bags of shopping all over the floor. I knew this couldn't be right because mum always packs it away as soon as she gets it. I did the holding nose reality check, (my personal favourite,) dreaming!

I walked to the bottom of the stairs, and suddenly I was stuck against the wall to the side of me. I was in like a crucified position flat against the wall, arms out. As much as I tried to free myself, I just couldn't.

I've had this problem before in - Part Two - Following On From My Fourth Lucid Dream / False Awakenings! - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views - but I don't know why its happening, or what is actually happening, maybe you can help?

However, remembering back to when this last happened to me, I know that struggling gets me nowhere. I leaned back against the wall, closed my eyes, and calmed my mind. I told myself when I open my eyes I would just walk away from the wall. I open my eyes and slowly part with the wall.

Once I'm free, I run fast out the front door to avoid that happening again. It's a unbelievably windy day outside, I could feel the wind against my face. I jump up high and fly above my house, I stay hovering above my road. In one of my previous Lucid Dreams I was making fire in my hands, but manage to wake myself up accidently. So whilst hovering, I put my hands out in front of me, palms down, and quickly twist my hands upwards. As I do so I have two burning balls of fire in my hands. Once I have them I take a second to look around and it dawns on m that there is no-one whatsoever around. I decide for a scene change, close my eyes and spin around.

I am back in my bed, dammit use your imagination man! So I get up out of bed, and just as I walk a couple of steps towards the window....Robbie's alarm goes off, (in real life,) and wake me up! F***s sake!

Basically I made the mistake of not writing this dream down, I was too tired and couldn't be bothered, I know terrible attitude but I've learnt from it now. So I don't even remember what date I had this dream on. But the following is all I can remember from what I think was a reasonably long LD, so this isn't a very exciting read.

All I can recall is how I became Lucid and the very start of the dream. I was standing on a wooden rope bridge type thing, In what looked like a jungle area. Suddenly I see a lion charging straight at me across the bridge. As soon as I realise I'm in danger I become Lucid.

I stand my ground as the lion gets closer and closer. As it reaches me it leaps off the ground at me. Just before he lands on me I stick my hand out, not touching him, but am holding him in mid-air with my mind. I look at it for a second, then point my other hand at it and morph it into a cute little kitten, and put it back down again.

Unfortunately this is literally all I can remember from my dream, lesson learnt.

Thursday Morning 6th June 2013

So prior to this week i had been off work for six weeks due to a little operation, this allowed me plenty of sleep and time to get used to Lucid Dreaming. I had been worried about how it was going to affect me when i went back to work on Monday as i get woken up at 6.45-7.00. The first few days i had to adjust my sleeping pattern significantly, but on Thursday i had a Lucid Dream.

Recent Lucid Dreams seem to start with something scary happening, not necessarily a nightmare but when something bad happens that's the most common way at the moment for me to realise i am dreaming. I know i was in some building somewhere with a group of people, and we were told to let nobody in as we wouldn't be disturbed. Suddenly the doorbell went and everybody started panicking. We didn't answer so whoever it was, i think it was basically people trying to kill us, just broke in. I was just about to wake myself up, like i always used to do, when i realised "hang on, if i'm about to wake myself up then i must be dreaming!"

I reassured Jamie, (my best mate who happened to be there,) that everything would be okay. I ran towards the door, and as i approached the guys that were breaking in, i sort of leaped and flew at them full force through the doorway, causing like a massive shock wave knocking them over. And that was the last i saw of the bad guys.

Next i was outside in what seemed to be a never ending field, it was night time. Jamie was just wondering off as if nothing had happened. I told him i'd prove to him that i'm dreaming but he didn't seemed fussed. So i went for a fly around anyway to prove it.

I tried something else i'd seen in the X-Men films, (X-Men First Class,) there is a boy in it called Banshee who basically uses his voice to create sonic waves. He then learns to fly by using the right frequency to force him off the ground.

So i tried that whilst flying, i copied the scream exactly as i had heard in the films, and it sort of worked, took a couple of heavy landings but i mastered it in the end. I practiced by dive bombing Jamie, felt pretty cool actually!

Here is a link to show you - X-Men First Class Movie Clip (Banshee Flies) - YouTube


I then tried to make fireballs in my hand, eventually i want to be able to control all of the elements with no trouble. I put both my hands out infront of me, (whilst levitating fairly high,) and twisted both my wrists quickly, from palms down to palms up. As my palms turned upwards i had two burning balls of fire in my hands, excellent! I moved them around in my hands for a few moments playing with them and then i seemed to lose concentration slightly and they disappeared. I tried the same technique to summon more fire from my hands but i think i was then trying to hard and woke my self up. Need to practice that!

Anyway thanks for reading

Saturday Morning 1st June 2013

Again i was horrifically drunk last night and wasn't expecting to have a Lucid Dream this morning, but i got one. I've found being hungover makes it very difficult to stabilize the dream, takes some effort! It's also harder to recall your dreams, but here is what i remember.

I don't remember much prior to being lucid, just being at some druggie sort of hide out in a dark area. This guy come up to me and started on me, it came to me pretty quick that i was dreaming. But i almost lost the dream and took me a while to get proper control. Anyways by the time i had it sorted the guy had gone, lucky for him.

Next i was on top of what seemed to be a massive climbing frame, like really high! I was on a platform overlooking lots of building on a nice sunny day. My dad was there working, (i work for my dad, scaffolding,) i said to him,

"I told you yesterday i wasn't working."

He replied,

"Well you might as well now you're here."

I thought i'd teach him a lesson. I turned around so i was overlooking the rooftops. I looked towards the sky and blew out gently, like you do when you're blowing on hot food. As i blew the sky darkened, the clouds moved in, and a hurricane style wind come steaming through knocking over anything in it's path. Dad was clinging on for dear life, he was panicking. He said he was sorry and asked me to stop. I put out my hand, palm down, and lowered my hand softly, as i did the wind died down, the clouds parted and the sun came back out.

I have a bit of a memory blank after this. The next thing i remember there was a lady there (still on the climbing frame thing,) i don't know who she was or what she'd done but she had definitely annoyed me.

I stuck my hand out, and used my mind to lift her off the ground. I walked her to the edge of the climbing frame, and off the end, still under my control. I lowered her down to ground level where there was a river flowing alongside us. I levitated her above the water for a bit, before dunking her in and back out repeatedly. She was struggling for breath and i was getting bored or dunking her so i dropped her in.

This was the last i remember of my lucidity. I then had the struggle of making myself write it down while i was feeling so ill and just wanted to sleep!

Thanks for reading

Wednesday Morning May 29th 2013

So hopefully you've read part one which leads straight into this. I had just used Lucidity to prevent a nightmare, followed by forcing myself awake so i could write it down in my Dream Journal.

I can't remember exactly where i woke up but i went straight over to pick up my Dream Journal. I took it downstairs where i saw Jamie. I told him i'd just altered a nightmare and had to write it down. He mentioned that i'd been making lots of noise in my nightmare and heard me when i said things in the dream. Thought that was weird. So went into the lounge and sat down starting to write.

Didn't take me long to realise that this was nothing like my house (i don't have bright green wallpaper) and i hadn't actually woken up. I closed my eyes and opened them again, straight away recognised the area as being in the tunnel at Old Trafford, Manchester. Obviously this meant i wasn't really awake again. Closed my eyes and tried to wake up again.

This time i'd woken up to my actual bedroom, looked perfect. Suddenly my brother Robbie grabbed my arms, (i sleep with the bottom of the bed against the wall, and my head in the middle of the room so i have more space to stretch my arms while i'm sleeping.) He had me properly pinned down and i couldn't move. I tried yelling for him to stop but with no luck.

It then dawned on me that this might not be real again. I managed to get my arms free, and did the thumb through the hand reality check, didn't work. I was convinced by now though. I held my nose and tried to breath through it, i could still breath! I ignored Robbie, plonked my head on the pillow and closed my eyes.

I opened my eyes, back in my bedroom again, perhaps the detail even more convincing than before. Robbie was back in bed across the room asleep, just as everything should be.

I went to sit up to get my Dream Journal, but something was wrong. My dream body arm moved up but i could feel my real body still lying down. I could feel the exact position i was lying in in real life, and my dream body was struggling to come apart from it. Every time i tried to move it felt like i was being dragged back down by my real body. So again i hit the pillow, and closed my eyes.

I awoke with everything in exactly the same place. I tried to sit up, but again the same effect of being dragged down so i knew i was dreaming. Lay down and closed my eyes.

I am back in exactly the same place with the same surroundings. But it feels so real every time! I go to move again, still stuck. I'm still lying on my side, so this time i try and fight it. I put both my arms on the bed and try and crowbar myself to sitting up. I managed to get to sitting position, but the force pulling back from where i can feel my real body is so strong. I struggled against it for a while then gave up.

It reminded me of that 'Brer Rabbit Tar Baby' episode! I was a little panicked and annoyed at this point but i tried to stay calm. I lay down, closed my eyes and really tried to pull myself out of the dream without opening my eyes this time. It felt like it worked, but for obvious reasons i wasn't to trusting.

I opened my eyes to what i had seen the last three attempts, lying on my side, Robbie asleep over the other side of the room. I tried to move my arms, i was free! I done the breathing reality check, it confirmed i was awake!

Thank F**k for that!

Has anyone experienced the sensations i was describing in the last few awakenings? It was really weird, not particularly scary, just strange.

Thanks for reading

Wednesday Morning May 29th 2013

I was pretty happy with myself this morning as my previous three Lucid Dreams were all as a result of the WBTB technique. The whole episode that you're about to read was over by 7am, the first time i remember waking up.

The first dream i remember seemed to take a turn for the worst pretty quick. I was lying in a bed, not mine, with some blonde woman i don't recognise. The room was small and lit only by a lamp. We weren't alone for long, when Jamie (my best mate) walked in. The mood in the room turned instantly frosty. A few nasty words, which i can't remember, were exchanged between Jamie and the woman. Then suddenly Jamie pulled out a pair of scissors, followed by the woman pulling out a knife.

I realised that something was wrong and became Lucid pretty quick!

My first reaction was to jump in between them and hold them apart. I tired shouting,

"STOP!"

For about a second or two they did, then they lunged at each other again. I was trying to think of how i could change the situation as I've read about doing. I pointed at the woman and shouted,

"Turn into a little girl!"

She started to shrink and change appearance until she was a little girl about three years old. I then turned my head to Jamie who i was holding back behind me and shouted,

"Dissapear!"

And as quick as i said it, he'd vanished! I turned back to the little girl who was just sitting down with a cheeky smile on her face. I said to her,

"Good girl, go put your shoes on."

She wondered off out of the room leaving just me. This is when i tried to wake myself up, (which normally i can do without any problem,) so i could write the events down in me dream journal.

I will write part two in my next dream journal entry so it's separated and doesn't drag on forever...

Sunday Morning May 26th 2013

I was getting a little bit annoyed as it has been ten days since my last Lucid Dream (and my first two came in quick succession,) however i went out last night and got very drunk, went to bed at 4am etc.. So i had basically written off Sunday morning to have an LD.

Anywayyyy, i got up and did an unintentional WBTB cause i was hanging and needed the loo about 8am. I went back to sleep, then i am awake back in my bed again, but i realise i am dreaming instantly.

I lay there looking at the ceiling for a minute, my hangover seemed to be very real in my dream too so i didn't really feel like moving.

I looked at the light on the roof above me, it is in the shape of an aeroplane (i share the room with my little brothers.) I used my mind to play and alter the length and width of it back and forward for a bit. Then i noticed a deflated silver balloon hanging from the roof (which isn't there in real life.) I decided to see if i could inflate it without touching it.. I puffed my cheeks out, as you would if you were blowing it up, and the balloon got bigger, i released and it would go back down again. :bravo:

This is when i woke up, felt crap and just rolled over and went back to sleep again.

Quick question for you though. Out of interest, does this count as a false awakening or just happened to wake up in my bed for a Lucid Dream??

Many thanks

Thursday Morning 16th May 2013

I decided to use the Wake Back To Bed technique as that was how i achieved my previous Lucid Dream, and suits my schedule at the moment.

I can't remember exactly what it was i noticed to know i was in the dream, but it was a struggle to stop myself slipping back out. I kept saying 'This is a dream,' followed by rubbing my hands, and it was still fuzzy. I then said,

"Improve dream quality" (which i'd seen somewhere else)

After that demand the quality was incredible, so good i almost thought id woken up again, thanks to a quick reality check i knew i hadn't.

I had arrived in a busy market square on a lovely sunny day, the detail and colour was amazing! I decided to start again by practicing my flying, again like Sunfire (see previous entry.) My skills had improved a little, but i thought i'd try something different. I'd read flapping is quite effective, it didn't feel as cool but it worked so hey!

The next scene i remember i was in a Bank, somewhere in the market square. I was looking around when suddenly i remembered the Task Of The Month. I thought my best friend Jamie would be most appropriate for the 'Prank A DC' task. So i thought of him, turned around and there he was bless him.
When he wasn't looking i bent down and started tying his laces together. Unfortunately he spotted me and said,

"Stop that!"

I thought i might as well test my powers to force the issue. Still crouching down, with my left hand i used my mind to hold him slightly off the ground but completely still, with my right hand i used my mind to tie both his laces together with just movements of the fingers. I put him back down but he was being stubborn and refusing to move! I signaled to some guy behind him to just give him a push. He obliged, with Jamie tripping over himself and face-planting the floor.

As funny as it was, i'm not gonna count that abysmal attempt, need to think of something smarter next time!

After that i took a wonder outside, it was night time now, a nice clear night. Outside there was a big wooden table, with a parasol, like the ones in a pub beer garden. There where two girls stood there doing a BBQ. They had sausages on sticks, the stick was going right through the sausage like a kebab. For some reason they were holding the sausages over the BBQ until they caught a purpley/yellow fire, then eating them.

I approached the girls and asked them,

"Can i show you something?"

They agreed. I took one of the sausages on a stick which was still on fire. I held it upright infront of my face, pointing towards the sky.

I knew what i wanted to do but didn't know if i could pull it off as a novice.

I then flicked the bottom of the sausage as hard as i could, off the stick. It went flying miles into the night sky, a trail of small yellow flames behind it. As the sausage was going out of sight, i expanded my hand, all five fingers as wide as i could, the sausage exploded into a huge purple and gold firework lighting the dark, followed by a loud bang, BEAUTIFUL!

They were very impressed, as was i! The next thing i remember it was daytime again, still sitting round this table.

A guy called Lee came out, who i'm friends with in real life. Turns out the girls i tried to impress were already taken! It was apparent the trouble was just between me and Lee. He stood up and tried to shove the table at me,

(Baring in mind the size of it, a human probably couldn't even move it in real life.)

I was quite angry at that point and i flipped. I stood up and put all my effort into shoving the big old table back at him (as if i was pushing a broken down car.) It took a lot of force to get the movement started but i built up speed and ran the table, with him sat on the other side, right across the road! I tried to ram it into a wall but he managed to jump off and run away.

I tried to chase him round some housing estate but he disappeared pretty quick. I spent a bit of time practicing my flying whilst looking over the gardens, but to no avail.

I tried to wander back towards the previous scene but this is where i lost my lucidity.

I was so happy with my second Lucid Dream particularly the firework bit, that bit was really a incredible moment!

Thank you for reading, feedback appreciated.

This is my first Lucid Dream since I've been researching techniques etc.

(I think i experienced more when i was younger but never really knew)

I started writing my Dream Journal about three days after researching very thoroughly on Friday Night 10th May 2013

Tuesday Morning 14th May 2013

I found myself standing outside a train station somewhere, a random one. Out the front i was stood on a fairly high platform overlooking a courtyard type area. I took my time to look at my surroundings and that's when it hit me!

"Wait a minute...This is a dream!"

Now i had done my research, and i knew i had to be confident..

I took a step forward, followed by a dive off the platform! I went free falling towards the courtyard, but before i hit the ground i managed to pull up with the force from my hands!

This is how I'd been planning to fly. My inspiration randomly came from an X-men character called Sunfire, hence the name. He can fly by shooting like a flame jet out his hands (see profile picture), similar to Iron Man i suppose.

I was delighted. I then headed to the local park to practice my hovering and flying. Flying was a bit tricky trying to get my hands to aim properly, but i will work on that.

I then had the pleasure of meeting Simon Cowell who was strolling past

I caught up with him and asked him proudly,

"How does it feel to be in my dream?"

To which he gave me a shrug of the shoulders,

"It's alright."

I then proceeded to have fun with this character and asked him to sing me a song (expecting probably a pop song or something.) He obliged with..

"Dum Dee Dee Dum Dum Dum Dum Dee" (roughly) (whilst doing like a conductor thing with his arms!)

I thought this was most amusing!

After that entertaining episode i saw my sister Jodie running towards me across the park, not in an aggressive way, probably just to say hello. As she got within a few meters i couldn't resist it..I stuck my hand out (like in Star Wars) and 'Force Pushed' her back the way she came, very effective!

The next scene is where i lost my lucidity, i was trying to make my brother stand still so i could do something painful to him, Haha. Unfortunately he refused. Now i'm not an experienced Lucid Dreamer so so if anyone knows the answer to the next bit i'd be very grateful..

Did i lose my Lucidity because he said no and i was concentrating to hard?
Or had i probably already lost my Lucidity hence why he said no, because i no longer had any control? (i think probably the latter)

Anyway, thank you for reading, i hoped you enjoyed it! I sure enjoyed me Lucid virginity and look forward to dreaming and posting more in the future.
