I've never had a Dream Journal before. I've always wanted to make one but it's always eluded me. I would keep seeing people mention Lucid Dreaming, I've of course seen the movie Inception and I found the idea of being able to control dreams extremely interesting. I've recently looked up a lot of information about it and I've been trying for a few weeks. I've always had dreams ever since I could remember, when people tell me they don't dream I'm horrified. I loved dreams, I've always loved being able to get away in to my dreams. I've had a bad day, or something didn't go how I wanted, at least I would have an interesting dream that night. But recently after trying I have had my first few moments of becoming Lucid. My first dream I was on a boat that was owned by my Father, we had many friends there and suddenly I asked myself "Am I dreaming?" I remembered reading to check my hands and as I was looking at them I felt myself wobble and I instantly knew "Yes, I'm dreaming." I immediately set off to find my girlfriend to say hello to her. I turned and looked at a nearby table and saw the back of her and as I turned her to see her face I suddenly realized "Oh my, I don't remember her face." And when I turned her, her face was extremely similar to it but her eyes were two different colors (This is because she sometimes wears colored contacts, normally matching.). I went to kiss her and suddenly I was awake. I only realize now that it's because I became over excited and couldn't maintain the dream. The dream I had the next day I don't quite remember, but I do remember realizing I was in a dream and woke up a few moments later. I am very committed to working out how to Lucid Dream and I hope it goes well. Also, I dream every night so I guess this Dream Journal will fill up fairly soon.
Okay, I'm pretty new to this site, so I'm just gonna document some of the bits of dreams I can remember. I remember having one where I was a viking. I don't remember anything besides the badass action. I had another dream that was Legend of Zelda-esque, like a mashup of Majora's Mask and whatever else I concocted. I went around helping people in town, and I finally went to a dungeon to fight a boss. I walked through it pretty easily and at the end I found this sword that was nothing but a poorly wrapped handle and a beat up blade. When I grabbed it, it felt incredibly light, and then I went to fight the boss. He was this massive spiked roly-poly thing, and he started attacking me. When I first swung the sword at him, it turned into this amazing, shining blade with an incredibly elaborate hilt made of gold and set with all sorts of rubies and emeralds. After a few hits with the blade, he turned into some guy who was reminiscent of Ganondorf, but bigger. I killed him with the sword and promptly woke up. There's a dream I had when I was probably about four or five years old. It was short, and it was this wolf-man thing chasing me up a hill. There was a shed at the top, and I thought I would be safe in it, so I hid inside it. Then, when I turned around, he was right there behind me. I woke up shortly after. My favorite of these (and one that actually inspired a fantasy project) is one where I had these red tattoo things on my arms, and when I touched them, they allowed me to sprout wings so I could fly around. I don't remember much besides the actual flying, but it was incredible.
