All DJ Entries

Ah, so I finally decided to get off my ass and start up a dream journal. I can't clearly remember a dream for today (last night?), so I thought I'd post my very first lucid, accomplished about 25 days after my first attempt via DILD.

I am walking down a street, when suddenly I get the urge to reality check. Doing so proves to me that I am, in fact, asleep. I force myself calm and rub my hands, having heard that hand-rubbing is a nice way to increase clarity. At the time, I was really interested in the concept of Dream Guides, and decided to set off to find my own. I decide to head back home, to see if perhaps my guide was there, ya'know, chilling. So I pop open my door and, holy crap the place I emerge into is my house, but turned into one big party. Yeah, weird. Flashing colored lights, blaring music, tons of people. I look around and see the crazy variety of guests, from strange pumpkins to green cyclopses to regular people. I look up and see an odd pumpkin flying near a disco ball. Strange. I yell "DREAM GUIDE! ARE YOU HERE?!". I look back down and see a familiar looking man in a blue jumpsuit. Long brown hair, blue eyes. I realize in a strange joy; It's motherfucking Russel Brand There he was. My DG. A respected comedian. I was overjoyed.

A bit of a blank here, but then it resumes.

There we where. Me and Russel, walking down a road at night. I remember him talking about the cruelty of the world, and we exchanged opinions.

Another blank.

I seem to be back at my house, minus the party. However, it seems we're moving out, so me and Russel help out in the moving a bit. Carrying boxes, we're walking down a path that I recognized leads to my house in real life. I suddenly remember, hey I wanna fly. So I talk to my DG and he teaches me how to fly. He's very cooperative, I notice. So he gives me an odd pair of shoes, (that looked a lot like the hover boots from zelda) with some strange triangles tucked inward at the sole. The boxes seem to have vanished at this point. I kick them on, and do as Russell says and with a sound like an unseathing sword, two sharp triangles pop out of the bottom. He explains they are hover boots, and that they're great for begginers. It was such an odd feeling, like balancing on a skateboard while hovering high in the sky. It was an amazing feeling.

Sadly, the dream began to fade at that point and I promptly found myself on my bed, which a few RCs proved real. The whole ordeal lasted around 15 minutes, and was a bit foggy, but passable.

And THAT, my friends, was my very first Lucid Dream.

THE END.

Hopefully a decent dream for tomorrow.

I hadn't dreamed last night, so after waking up, I took a nap, and fell straight from closing my eyes into a LD, which surprised me seeing as I've only ever had 1 LD before this.

Anyway, I opened my eyes and was standing on a cobbled street. It looked like the main road through my village, except in olden times, and someone rode through on a horse and cart. Standing there, I suddenly thought, I'm dreaming. I remember really vividly the beating of my heart as I got excited. I decided to try out some of the things people often do in lucid dreams. I crossed the street and walked through a wall. On the other side there was just blackness, so I imagined a sweet shop, and it appeared. Still not used to walking through walls, I left through the door and flew through the street. My first time flying. I decided I wanted some adventure. I landed in a snowy area off the road. A car and a van drove towards me on either side of me. A huge crowd had gathered, and they were screaming at me to run. I saw a locked door and tried to walk through it, but I was too excited and scared. I ran away, and a man got out of the lorry and jumped on a beautiful wild horse to chase me. People were cheering me on. I remember feling so glad to have come to this world, for somer reason. I kicked the man in a rush of adrenaline, and he fell off his horse. The horse was panicked. I wanted to calm it and ride it, so I chased it. It ran down a valley of snow. I had almost got it, when everything went black. I realised aftr a minute that I had woken up.

Type: Lucid, quick, Nose-plug RC
Vividness: 7/10
Lucidity: 5/10

I was driving passenger in my friend David's black truck who I live with, down an old country neighborhood road with four or five houses on either side, very open, autumn or late summer, hazel tall grass and a nice breeze. Passes a huge, barn red, 3 or 4 story house with a walk out basement on the left, and I feel that I had passed that house and remember doing some sort of work in it with David [dream frag from earlier]. We get to the bottom of the hill and arrive at a while barn-ish house, and David tells me that a man across the lake bought a big portion of property and is brewing his own spirits this year, "I hope it will be good", and he keeps kind of mumbling on about it while I get a strange intuitive feeling that I've been here before. I peer out the window and there's an old house with just the foundations remaining and some wooden boards, only one part of a wall still standing, I think it's strange that there's another house on this property, so I ask myself "what would this be like if I were dreaming?" and start to become more aware and focus on the details of the situation I'm in.
We pull around and we're infront of a small building, and D is asking his wife who is a doctor [not in RL] for some sort of herb to help me since he thinks I'm going crazy [probably an effect of my increased awareness, mind tricking/distracting me]. Then suddenly I'm in an old one room building with big cobblestone walls and a dirt floor , huge oak 6x6 rafters vaulting above, D sitting with our neighbor at a series of long dark wooden tables discussing how I think that I'm dreaming and they need to do something to help me. At this point I do my nose plug RC and I can breathe in, although my nose is stuffed up and it's kind of hard to tell, but I declare the test successful. I feel nervous about flying [first instinct] so I swing myself up onto the beams and start climbing around like a squirrel on all fours, jumping and hanging off of the beams just having some plain and simple fun, laughing at David and telling him that I'm dreaming.

The lucid stops pretty soon after when my alarm goes off for work.

So yeah, a quick and fun lucid, it felt light and refreshing. I'm still amazed of the feeling of the absolute clarity of my lucid dreams and body. I find it so hard to tell the difference, but this has also inspired me to check my surroundings and RC with more.. well, conviction, since I have the feeling in my bones of what it's like to be in a lucid after having a few this month. It's just like waking life! CRRAAZZZYY.

I need to find another type of reliable RC, I don't like the hands one too much, and while I do the text-turn away-read again RC every day, I don't usually find myself in an area with a clock or text while I'm dreaming. Will investigate/try to create one next time I LD, like see how easy it is for me to do certain things like produce powers or telekenisis. I will also remember my intention to not fly or do anything crazy, and focus my attention on the dream scene and establishing a technique for improving my clarity and awareness.

Also, if you haven't read it juroara wrote a great thread on Dream Affirmations, can help those struggling with MILD and will-power/belief.

Awesome stuff. I'm happy and excited that I had two LD's in a week!

Here is how this happened.
I had two alarms set up to attempt a WBTB WILD this morning, one at 4:30AM, and the other at 6:00AM. I woke up at 4:30 and fell back asleep, same with the 6:00 alarm. I woke up again around 7:00, went back to bed, woke up around 8:00, fell back asleep, and had this LD. I think I have strong REM rebounds from 7:00-9:00AM. So failing a WILD isn't always a bad thing.

Low Lucid awareness/vividness
Higher Lucid vividness/awareness
Normal dream

This whole thing starts off with my friend Rich and I. We were in a large field at this Marine Corps base where Marines and other soldiers were training. I was sort of in the mindset that we were dreaming, because I remember having dialogue with Rich about how we would go mess around and steal weapons in the dream. So I'll say this is lucid. So we crossed this field and were inside the base, we ran into this courtyard past Marines running in formation and everything. We run along a walkway and see all these plastic, fake looking M4's and other rifles lying around that looked like the blank firing training rifles they use. Then we found this large plastic bin full of old tactical vests, and after digging through I found a cool tan vest that had an inflated top part for water operations I guess? As we're digging through everything, this drill sergeant comes up to us and asks who we are. I mumble something as we still look through everything, and he says something like "Oh, keep doing inventory." He must of thought we were personnel checking equipment. Then he looked at my friend Rich and asked, "How old are you guys?". He then realized we broke in and got pissed off. I remember him saying something like, grab your stuff, and meet in the stalls, like he wanted to give us swirlies in the toilet..? He grabbed a clipboard and asked Rich what his name was, Rich hesitated and then gave him a fake name. He wrote the name down and told Rich to get out of here and have a nice weekend. (I had this dream on Saturday morning too, hehe) I realized Rich gave him a fake name because this sergeant was trying to enlist us in the Marines. Rich then hopped over the wall back into the field and darted away. He then asked me what my name was, and I said Brett Harris. (Can't believe I can remember that!) Suddenly another drill sergeant came in and mumbled something to him. I remember this other guy wearing a lot of colorful wrist bands you get at concerts and stuff. The sergeant went back to me and asked what we were doing here. "Well, we're dreaming right now and none of this even matters, there are no consequences!" Or maybe I said something along those lines... I then started to run out of there, with the sergeant chasing me. I jumped over the wall, flipping, and flipped the sergeant off as I landed. I saw Rich 50 feet in front of me still walking. I ran over to him, screaming at him to wait up. I caught up to him, grabbed his hand and we both started flying. (Lucid vividness went up a lot here) The Marine base below us turned into a school of some sort filled with all my fellow High School classmates. They were all cheering, waving, and yelling at us. I kept flying with Rich, circling the school. It was such an awesome feeling. I remember seeing small hills surrounding the area, and there was a lot of dead grass covering the field. I remember passing friends in the school as I flew low, they were all cheering me on for the fact that I was lucid, and was flying. I then flew over a hill, and told Rich I was gonna let him fly on his own, I let go of his hand and he took off too. I was then on my own. I wanted to be able to fly better, so I told myself and believed I could fly faster and without falling, and it worked. I then looked at my hands and yelled, clarity, as I rubbed them together. It's an amazing feeling. The dream started to fade, and I remember spinning and rubbing my hands, trying to get the dream going again. It then faded to black.

False Awakening...
Next thing I remember, I'm sitting shotgun in my red 1994 F-150 with my friend Forrest. For some reason, I thought Forrest was the one who I just had that awesome LD with, not Rich. I was trying to type on this weird keyboard in the car, thinking about how I have to post this on Facebook and let everyone know that I had this LD. I thought everyone would have dreamt they saw me flying in their dreams too. I asked Forrest if he had the same dream I had, and then we looked at our hands. We both had the same markings on our hand, (it looked like indentations from where a tight rubber band would have been) and I realized that we had a shared dream. I was thinking about how awesome it was to share dreams. Anyways, we were both in my driveway, and my dad was there waving at us as we backed out. Forrest put in the clutch, went into first, gassed it and released the clutch and we were off.

Then I wake up instantly. And now here I am.

Kids

In this dream I was driving two little 3 year old kids to their parent's house. They seemed lost. I remember the little girl sitting on my lap As I was driving. When I got to the place where their parants were I was unsure of how to pick the girl up and put her down without it looking creepy. But somehow i manage to get her into her father's arms safely.

Camp

Something about being at a camp party, can't remember much just walking around a lot.

Lucid

I was floating around some city. I came near a bridge and saw some weird megalithic structure coming out of the river. It was huge and brown. didn't know what to make of it so I floated away.

Fund myself walking on some street in a residential area and spotted Jaas and his gf Haley. I said "hi," to them when I became lucid as I passed but they both gave me a dirty look. I said "fine, if you'll be like that I suppose I'll just fly then."

I flew upwards anjoying my lucidity. i then decided that I should do nothing and stabilize the dream. I got in the cross legged position in mid air and slowly floated down to the curb while fixating my gaze on the dream. As I landed on the curb it felt pretty stable and solid. I decided to try time dilation so I put my hand on the ground, I focused in between my fingers and began counting. I counted to 10 really ast and decided to slow down. I wanted to stop at 12 and did but by then the dream seemed really intense and then it destabilized.

tank bus

some weird dream where I was in a large army house that was being taken over by bad people. I vividly remember jumping and floating down some step. I was trying to get to a big tank bus. I managed to get inside it unnoticed and then started driving it out of the building. My memory fades here.

Big House

I was in some tall house that was under construction. I had to go up stair cases to the top level. Then I went back down. I found a treble light on a deck a few stories up and a supervisor told me to go unplug it. I followed the chord up a few floors and in and out a bunch of rooms while also untangling from other chords. This was very long and tedious.. Eventually I found where the plugin was and unplugged the light.

John M

Had a dream where i ran into an old friend John M at a house party. I said last time i sen him he was a meth head. Bt now he was healthy with a round face, sunglasses and bleach blonde hair. We talked a lot and caught up on old times.

My new GF is a slut.

I was at some house party where a local olds band "Nobody's Shadow" was playing. I had some native gf that was new...We ewnt around the party a lot. At one point I got up and tried to leave the party but the singer of the band persuaded me to stay.

So I went back to the table with my new gf. and people were telling me stories about how she had a new bf every week. There were twin brothers at the party and apparently she dated both of them. One of them went up to me and wanted to fight. I was like, "Are you serious? She's the slut, you should be slapping her... why pick on the poor new innocent guy like me?". then he said something to me which was mean, and I said something dumb like. 'Well perhaps there's Poo poo in your bed... That was me... sheesh." but nobody cracked up.

this was a pretty cool lucid for me.
Im sitting in the living room with my little brother. Its around noon and for no reason I do an RC and become lucid. I phase through the window and fly out of the room laughing my head off. I hear my brother laughing right behind me, while flying. So Im bouncing him like a basketball while I fly to mess with him. We both land and we start fighting. We fight dbz style and I grab his ankle and throw him like ten metres. While he tries to get up im imagining a hot chick walking down the driveway to meet me. I grab a stone and turn my hand into stone so I can KO my brother. Instead these three dogs that look like my dogs come running at me.

I remember a nightmare exactly like this so I drop the stone and run up the driveway. Im running so fricken slowly. Im punching the dogs to keep them at bay when I see someone on a motorized scooter going in the same direction. I grab the guy and throw him into the dogs. I get to the gate and look in my pocket and find the remote. I open the gate, escape and close it before the dogs can escape. I turn around and theres this security guard waiting there smoking a joint. Hes holding an Uzi and he tells me that my dream should have ended with me being mauled by the dogs. I think to myself “im bulletproof”, and he replies” no you’re not bulletproof”. He pulls the trigger and riddles my chest with bullets.

They fly through me like a knife through butter. My chest feels wet. Then I remember something I read on dreamviews that mzzkc wrote where he regenerated. I look up at him with this fricken crazy look and scream “ im regenerating motherfucker!” he gets really scared and asks if I know how to kill him. I put my hand on his face and concentrate my energy there. He starts falling backwards and I grab his gun and shoot the sh!t out of him. The my alarm goes off and I wake up.

I ‘wake up’ in my bed and try to turn off the ceiling fan but the buttons wont work. I RC and become lucid.i fly through my bedroom window and land on my roof. Its dark outside and my dreams starts going fuzzy. I imagine going around in circles and stabilize the dream. All of a sudden im floating in the air face to face with ulquiorra from bleach. We immediately start fighting without swords and im pawning this guy. I try to use that demon art where electricity shoots from my fingers but I miss and he flies away. I wake myself up to record this dream.

Woah what a night. The dream starts off with me in my old primary school buildings, walking in the corridor playing music on loudspeaker. There’s a bunch of people walking around me so it must have been a corridor or something. I see a teacher walking toward me and try to turn off the music but it wont stop. The teacher tells me to hand it over and I outright ignore him. I try walk away from him but he follows me and I eventually give it to him. Then all of a sudden my teacher transforms into someone else. I ask him if he would have still taken it if Meyer was around and hes like obviously not.
So I walk into the toilet and im greeted by this horrific scene. Theres a dead person lying in the urinal, but I ignore him coz I need to piss. When I look back at him hes turned into my dog(which is missing its head) so I walk out of the toilet and end up outside. Im walking up a hill. I see my sister from far and become lucid. This crazy lady with a dodgy looking hyperdermic needle comes to me and starts stabbing me with it. Im lucid so I know it wont hurt me. I try to fly away but this sudden gust of wind pushes down on me. Eventually I overcome the wind and fly off into the sky. I end up back home and my dad says something about me being a threat. I know that hes going to want to fight so I fly through the ceiling. I keep going through layer after layer until I end up in space. I figure the reason why so little people on dreamviews have come here is because this place is so hard to find. I lose lucidity here and the dream ends with these army people fighting each other on different planets.

I am in my car, it is raining and I park the car to go to a shop. The area looks quite familiar, like an area of my city. When I come back, I can't find the car, I keep going around but am not able to find it. All of a sudden I recognize a typical theme of my dreams: not being able to find the place where I have parked my car. As soon as I recognize this dreamsign and recognize that I am dreaming, I feel exhilarated. First of all I change the weather of the dream: not rain anymore, but sun. Then I start laughing happy for having succeeded in having a LD and go around jumping feeling very light. Then I think that if I am having a LD I can try to have an OBE; as soon as I think this I find myself in my bed, even though I cannot see anything. I roll over sideways in the bed and start getting out. But the excitement is so high that I wake up.

Okay, so as I was falling asleep yesterday, I was doing this technique a friend told me before I fully fell asleep and started to say to myself to have a lucid dream. I was saying to myself, "have a lucid dream." over and over again until I fell asleep and the next thing I remembered was talking to my History teacher. This is the only thing that my dream was about and the only thing I can remember. I can't remember what we said to each other, if we said anything logical at all. Also, he had an unproportioned body as his head was bigger than his body. I'm pretty sure I was aware the whole time that this was a dream, but I only decided to go with the flow. It didn't even cross my mind to do anything remotely "exciting." I also noticed that my alarm clock didn't go off, so I said to myself, "I better wake up now so I can see what time it is." While I was still dreaming mind you. I don't know, it sounds like a DILD, and that's what I've been calling it...

First Lucid Dream that I know of, was last night, funny enough, the night of my joining this site. All I remember is thinking "This is a lucid dream. I'd better focus on my hands to stabilize it" Though I had some doubt the had thing would work, and was too excited, so it dissipated. I also remember there was a tree in the background that was rather blurry. but my hand, though really close to my face, was crystal clear.

After that I don't remember anything, but later in the night I had another dream. I was in a large community center or something, that had 4 or 5 levels. at first I looked at everything on each level, till I was on the second level or something, and just went up the stairs to the top. There were lots of posters, as well as a giant lane swimming pool. the top of the building was a large water slide that lead to the lane pool. Thats all I remember

Big Friends
I was in a place that looked like a movie theatre, not sure why I was there but I wasn't really thinking about that, I was talking to three of my best friends, S J and M. I ask all of them if they want to go out and do something and they all are acting quite stand-off ish saying "No, we're going to go to Colorado and go snowboarding." I notice that I am having to strain my neck looking upwards to see their faces, and they seem to be about eight or nine feet tall, and my friend M has his arm amputated just above the elbow and it's bandaged in white gauze. This is strange so I do a nose plug RC and breathe in three times successfully, and I'm aware that I'm dreaming.

I don't bother trying to talk to my friends since they have been stand off-ish anyways, so I walk up a slight incline and enter a semicircular shaped restraunt, with big windows and booths against the wall like any classic diner. I focus on all the different people sitting in the booths, and recognize a girl R that I had dated for a little while two years ago, and approached her at the booth. We both just looked at each other and didn't say anything, which is a very nice encounter. At this point I can't think of anything I want to do in this restaurant so I pick her up in my arms, and jump into the air and spin to try to create a new dream scene. The only problem is that I wasn't focusing on maintaining lucidity while changing the scene, or imagining where I want to end up, so I lost R and found myself only semi-lucid in a new dream scene.

I'm in a public place, some vague looking American east coast city, I do a nose plug RC several times and it works, but the dream is fading quickly and I get nervous yelling stabilize! since there are so many people around me [waking residue since I have a room mate next door to me, paper thin walls], I think about doing some different things but the dream keeps fading and a lose lucidity .

MM so that's it! LD 4.
I spent the night before this going over my DJ from the last month, putting together dreamsigns and thinking about the nature, common trends and dimensions of my dreams. I also slept in from 12:30-7:30, then got up and walked around outside for an hour and focused on my senses, very beautiful brisk morning, all the trees bare and the ground frosted, no sounds at all from birds singing or cars passing, even the dogs weren't barking. Really nice. Then I went back to my room feeling refreshed and spent about an hour sitting quietly reading my DJ and doing visualizations. So yeah, I guess you could call this a WBTB/DILD induced?

Anyway, short but sweet. I've tried to transition the scene in 2/4 lucids and failed both times. Got to read up on it more and hang a reminder list next to my bed .

I met my goal of having 2 LDs by Oct 31st, then again met my "extra credit" goal of having 4 !! So I'm happy about that and feeling inspired.

I hope everybody is having fun lucid dreaming and are meeting their own goals and feeling great about it!

Raven what?

I was with Raven and kaomea somewhere. We were telling Raven how me and kaomea would be nowhere without having Raven as a friend or something.

Vex Kitten is smitten

Some vague dream where Vex Kitten had a crush on me. LOL. I said, "You had your chance ha!"

Royal Family WTF and lucid

I was riding a bike in some rich neighborhood when I spotted The Queen of England, Prince Charles and the giant teacup guy from Alice In Wonderland. I sat down nonchalontly and asked the queen if she has ever actually eaten at a picnic table like this before. She said she usually doesn't sink so low. I said the only reason she's eating here is because the houses look super rich, If you want a real picnic go to a more poor looking playground and eat there.

FA, Get out of bed and RC. I'm in some room that I recognize. Everything is made of brown paneling. I go to a door and think "Asuka" I open it but it leads to a short 3 ft hallway with another door. I start calling for Asuka aloud over and over. I try then next door but it appears to be locked, but somehow i manage to open it. I come to a living room yelling "Asuka, asuka." but no one seems to be in the house and the dream fades quick.

After I read kaomea's dream I realize this was probably the time that they were together looking for something.

I should post here more, but I don't. Eh.

Two nights ago I was in an instance in World of Warcraft. I *was* my character, which was pretty cool. There was some incessant doom about to take place; I think it was the seventh book of Harry Potter, because teachers were running around all over the place. In my dream, the seventh book hadn't come out yet, so I was excited to be part of it.

As we're running away from the doom, there's this long bridge with holes and cracks in it. I'm freaking out, but Bryon keeps pulling me along. When we get to the end, Bryon pulls us off (either that or he jumps and I follow him). I was freaking out, cause I knew we were gonna die - but we didn't. I looked around, and we were back on top of the bridge. Bryon said, "Because it's a DREAM!" We started walking back across the bridge, calmly this time. I started to realize it WAS a dream, and I tried to take in all I could. The colors were stony and looked like Northrend in WoW, but they were so vibrant and lifelike. I decided I didn't want the bridge to shake anymore and I didn't even realize it fixed itself.

When we got to the gates of the instance we had just left, I tried to read the words on the doors. I couldn't, of course, but I tried to "put the letters in order," and my brain told me they said, "Mana Tombs." I was like, that's not right, but whatever. So we went into the instance. It looked a lot like a dream I had recently where I saw an ex at the RenFest. McGonagall was standing on a step preaching about something; she had our quest. We got our quest, which was to retrieve something from a boss. I thought I knew the best way to do it. I play a rogue, and I was sneaking around trying to get by mobs, but Bryon plays a pally and wasn't so lucky. We had to fight some people until we came upon some old ladies to challenged us to an orgasm contest! XDD; We decided to do it, but in the middle of that, I woke up.

Lucidity: 7/10
Vividness: 6/10
Length: 20 Min.

I woke up and was looking at my bedroom door. I was completely lucid. And it was completely dark. Almost pitch black. Then someone came out of the shadows. It was a tall green cape with arms, legs, feet, etc. But NO head. That made me so scared. So while saying "no, no, no" a million times because I couldn't believe that I could have such a horrible nightmare.( I also tried to scream but nothing came out.) Got up. When I did I thought about it and he wasn't very scary. I imagined a piece of cloth on his head. And there was. Also that he had no means to hurt me. We shook hands and greeted each other. Then I was in a court yard and I was talking to some black guy. I can't remember what he said, but then someone else came in. Then we fought for some reason. While I was fighting I thought "wow, it's really dark here" and it was. It was creepy. For some reason I had a book or something and didn't want anyone to touch it. And of course he tried to touch it. Everyone did. By now I wanted to wake up, but decided I might be able to make it a better dream. So every once and a while someone would try to touch the book and I tried to stop them. Then someone did. I thought that the book would warp people to a different dimension. And it did. Then I went into that dimension. When I did I immediately looked around. I was on a long road. With weird things on the ceilings. And I was in a desert. Then someone said "look we already changed the store" or something like that, showing the store. Then it went back to my perspective. When it did I said "wow, this dream sucks" and stuff. Then I was on a field fighting over that damn book again. Sahara Winder fell over and looked hot. She was wearing sweat pants. So I went down to her and stuck my tongue up her ass. It didn't taste like anything and I didn't think about what was on it because I was dreaming. It felt exactly like one. The End.
