Last night I dreamed and I could remember my dreams clearly (or more clearly than yesterday).

Dream 1
The dream was about a mummy of some kind, their was a sphere like a movie about a mummy (where you are finding one or defeating one). The surroundings were a combination between a neighborhood I know and Egypt (bit like Aladin). We were with a team of four, trying to defeat the mummy. There was a boy with special powers, the main character, lets call him A (because he has no name XD). Than there was my sister, she was just part of the team and last a boy who was kind of our guide through the Egypt/familiar neighborhood territory, lets call him B. And of course I was there as a team member
We were running in streets to get to a battle field. and the battle field was also a mix between a 'lake' I know and Egypt. A was fighting of the mummy.

Dream 2
I was in a really big house. It was a mixture of my aunts home and an unfamiliar home. Four friends were their, that I knew by name, but there were more friends, but I couldn't remember their names. And only my uncle and nephew were there (not my aunt).
One friend, Elianne and I were going to get food for us (everybody there). It was raining really hard, but we still went cycling. We didn't get wet or even cold. I can't remember or I didn't dream the cycling ride or picking up the food. I remember just getting our bikes and getting back with loads of food. We went inside and got the food to the table. *

Fragment 1 of dream 2
I think my dreamed about the food on the table etc. and than all of the sudden I was seeing a discussion or in a discussion with my uncle and father aobut a fesival were you dress like a character of book/movie/series or just fantasy creature. My uncle said he liked the festival. We went their, but I can only remember the sandy parking lot.

Lucid?
I can't remember for sure, but I think I was lucid for just 'a couple of seconds'. Because when I walked into the house after we gone and got the food, my glasses fogged up (don't know if you say it like this), because of the warmth and cold difference. I remember thinking, this has to be a dream, because there was no cold and there is no warmth and everything looks kind of off. But then I didn't do anything and just dreamed the dream.
I where glasses (or lenses) IRL, that is not a dream sign or anything weird...!

The following I wrote after I dreamed this and woken myself up and wrote these 2 dreams and fragment down. After that I went back to sleep again and when I woke up 1 1/2 hour later I wrote this down:

Fragment 2
I was with my friend Elianne and we were shopping in a shop that looked like a store I knew, but that store isn't a supermarket, but the store just sold food. I was not in school (I am not in school right now, we have vacation, but I don't have to go to school anymore, because I just have to learn for my exams and in couple of weeks I will take those exams), but apparently every other student in the store (a lot of people I know and are in my class) including Elianne were in school. I bought something in the end, but I never got something of the racks or really looked at any products with the thought of wanting to buy them. Elianne bought cookies and than somehow my other friend, Jessy, was also there. And she bought candy that I believe she doesn't like IRL, but I like a lot.
After that I bumped into another classmate/friend Lauren and she was with other people who are friends of me, but I couldn't see them clearly. Lauren asked me something about a series we both watch and I answered her and she walked away, but I don't know what she asked or what I answered. It was like the sound was set on mute for a minute.

After I paid I left my friends and roller-bladed home, don't know were I got my roller blades, but I had them on. I found my sister and a good friend of her talking to a woman with four kids. One of the kids a girl was 'picking' my sisters bike, it was weird. My sister wanted to lift her up, but I said she shouldn't do that. She did it anyway, so I took the girl from her and put it next to the mother. The girl looked different, she was really 'bird' like and had red hair and a lot of freckles. My sister and her friend left and I was left alone with the woman and the children. She told me she didn't like me picking up her child. I told her I would not ever do that, but my sister was dangerously picking her up, so I had to take the child and carry her to you. My sister was standing with her bike, she could have fallen. The woman agreed with me. I walked, or skated, with the woman around the neighborhood and than went home.

My forehead is pressed against another person's forehead. The person is holding my face in his hands and we are both a bit panicked. He keeps mumbling that we have to remember, we can't forget.

I didn't even know I had a baby until someone told me. I was laying back on my living room couch, chilling. At first, I saw a few people gathering around me like something was wrong. There were also one or two babies in front of me. I didn't know what was happening until someone came in front of me and gave me something important.

Some woman came in front of me and gave me a baby. I didn't question it, I only tried to remember the last time I stuck my thing up in there. I couldn't remember. At the time, I thought it was kind of cool because I had a female who was stuck with me but, having the baby being mine was ever better!

The baby was kind of a whiner though. I picked it up to hold it and eventually realized it was a he. At first, the baby was beginning to cry but after rocking it in my arms, he started to cheer up. There were times when I almost felt like I was going to fall.

There was also another baby in the room but I don't think she was mine. She looked a lot like my niece. She was standing on the couch waiting for me go outside and leave elsewhere.

I dreamed that death had to come on a journey with me, at first all i saw was a hooded figure in a white cape with a scythe, he tells me he is the grim reaper, but for some odd reason i wasn't scared. he walks by me and takes off his hood, then i get this feeling like i know him from somewhere, i just cant shake the feeling how familiar he is. he was beautiful...tall, fair skin, jet black shaggy hair, toned, i asked him to look at me, and he wouldn't, so i grabbed his face with both hands to make him look at me, and .....those eyes...those deep blue eyes............i feel in love instantly. he hugged me as if it had been a hundred years since he last saw me.... a warm embrace and i never wanted him to let go. i felt this strong connection on like a spiritual level with this guy, a deeper connection then i ever thought i could hope for. it just felt like id known him my entire life and then some, like a past life

Writing this at 5:30PM on May 13 2012. I slightly recall remembering my dreams of that night. Very vague nothing vivid and very displeasing. First night of my research month. Confused that I did not become lucid or at least remember dreams. I felt very focused and aware in the waking world. The day before (11 May 2012) I spent hours on hours reading about lucid induction, as well as reading about others lucid dreams with the thought that if I spent most of the day concentrating and focusing on lucid dreams, I would have one. (Or at least remember my regular dreams). As of now I hadn't remembered my dreams and this is really putting a damper on my experiment as I need to progress fast.

As i'm already poor at recalling dreams (i literally remember one a month, since before starting lucid dreaming) i really want to change that and acheive this, I am putting all my effort into it and have researched the matter for some while now.

I have gained a lot of valuable information not only through this site but through others including videos on YouTube and sites similar to this.

I have my dream journal at my bedside with a pen, I have dream written on my hand. I have notes on my phone that go off every hour that say dream. I'm doing everything in my power to conquer this feat.

I'm hoping that by using this website it will allow me to continue to think about lucid dreaming which will in-turn, help me to lucid dream.

I don't know if i'm doing it right in all honesty, but this morning, i woke up (keeping my eyes shut and staying in my usual sleeping position, as instructed) and all i could think about was dragging a dead baby out of a bin or something along them lines. Weird, i know. But meh, i was happy to have at least have something on my mind whilst awakening. So i wrote it down.

After waiting a few minutes i left my bed and trundled down stairs. Then i remembered even more, words can't describe how happy i was to have actually remembered something. But all i remember was a lot of weed (marijuana) on the floor, all ground up. I can't remember any emotions, but it's almost like i'd dropped a load and it was on the floor, maybe at the bottom of some stairs.

Thinking about this, who's to say i didn't just make it up? The dead baby thing? When i woke up just to give myself some sort of satisfaction that i'm making progress. Either way, i'm quite happy with this. going from probably 2% dream recall to having one straight after i started teaching myself to lucid dream. It makes me excited to continue and i hope i accomplish what i've set out to do.

Lucid Dream Dream Non Dream

Sooo.....since my first Journal entry, I've attempted to lucid dream and not only failed in those attempts, but can't seem to remember any dreams at all. I don't know if I get too little sleep, or what exactly the problem is. One thing could be that because I have a 10 month old daughter, it doesn't exactly work out to just lay in bed upon waking up and try to let my dreams finish or try to let them come back to me.
I'll try going to bed earlier tonight and see if that helps. Anyone have other suggestions???

1/16/11 - Realization
Dream Non-dream Lucid

I had to babysit two of my cousins last night, and my aunt and uncle didn't come home until about midnight. My uncle drove me home even though it was late, but I've had to sleep over before because of how late they can be. Enter dream scenario.

I was at my uncle's house, and he had just returned home. He told me it was 3 am, and that he'd have to take me home in the morning. I was a little confused. I remembered being in the car with him earlier, and wondered why he couldn't have taken me home then. Suddenly I realized that he already had taken me home, and that I was in my own bed, asleep. I basically spazzed out. I ran downstairs, and outside. It felt a little cold, because I'd been expecting it to be, but it really wasn't much different than the temperature inside. I knew for sure then that I was dreaming. I guess I was still a little shocked, because I woke up immediately.

I wish I'd remembered a lucid task or something! Maybe tonight...?

Finally I was able to write down my dream, I'm taking it reaaaaaaal slow, its ok ill get to lucidity in time. I woke up at 3:30 like I always do naturally, I usually have a bong toke at this time, I didn't and just rested there with the intent to remember and write my dreams. I slept on the couch in order to not wake my boyF.
I remember only glimpses as of yet:

There were some extreme ski slopes (Im afraid of steep roads and the such) and I was on the ski lift cutting across it horizontally as if it were a tour. Then I was making my way through campus but of course it didn't really look like campus, that's just the closest thing I can compare it to. I was late. It was sort of like recess and there were cones were lines of cones all pointing to the same spot. My boyfriend was in it. I dont remember what role he played though. My hair was in braids all down my head and there were people everywhere. I had to make sure I hadn't gained weight because there were two teacher-like people (I recognized them in it) that were judging me or I was afraid they were.

I hope tonight I will be able to recall more. JUV
