Non-Dream Non-Lucid Lucid I was going down Aberdeen Drive and a give way sign beamed down to my left. I instantly knew I was dreaming, and decided to do some RC's. I looked at a window in a van to look at my reflection and it was normal. Then I went like 50m down the road, and asked a man which had 2 watches, one on each arm, one digital and one analogue, for the time. It was 10:15, and I asked him 3 more times, but the time stayed the same. I was confused that my RC's didn't work so my dream faded. This was my first Lucid Dream, so I thought RC's work every time etc etc. That's why it faded at the end.
Awake - Dream - Lucid After spending nearly all day doing nothing but checking the forums, I finally got tired enough to pass out around 10PM. I'm talking to someone who looks a bit like Bulma's dad from Dragon Ball Z. He is telling me I'm taking way too many pills. Something like I should only be taking a small dose when I was taking 500mg instead. He was showing me the number 500 on the bottle. I woke up and tossed back and forth quite a few times but never managed to get back to sleep. It's only 2AM now and I'm hoping that REM works in a way that since I was asleep, my next try should be a lot better. I'm still not sure how the REM cycles work. Interpretation Obvious one here. I took Cymbalta as a replacement for Zoloft coupled with Ambilify. I was prescribed both but I decided on the latter choice due to the fact that Zoloft wasn't being strong enough to get rid of my anger and that those two make you drowsy. The number 500 came from the Acetaminophen I took yesterday for my hand pain.
I debated whether I should post it or not, but I decided I had nothing to lose. I lost most of what I remembered since I don't really have time for a DJ too often in the morning. All I remember now is a small fragment of me walking through what appears to be a map in a video game I used to play. I stopped to ask my self these exact words, "Wait, am I dreaming?" After this, I felt my heart jump a little and I woke up. That's all I remember of it, and while I am a bit sad I didn't to actually go lucid, it does give me some hope.
I'm in my car, waiting for my mum to come back with the shopping, when all of a sudden, i'm attacked by a guy called jack, who attends my school, i realise i;m dreaming, and he dissapeares, i then fly away to saftey, and wake up from shock.
I went to bed saying out loud "I will Lucid Dream, and I will remember my dreams when I wake up." It kinda worked. I was kinda chilling around at a supermarket, where I did a reality check, holding my nose. It worked, and I immediately started clapping really hard to lock myself into the dream. I walked around, and tried to change up some really small things, like colors of balloons, but it didn't really work. Then I made my girlfriend appear. I hugged her, and then I lost lucidity. We proceeded to hang out the rest of the dream, but I forgot I was dreaming.
These are just some short dreams I wrote down in my notebook before I had gotten into lucid dreaming. A. This dream I was at my parents house on the front porch, and the porch had like 6 cats on it all of which I recognised but they did not belong there. I went out into the yard and my headphones were stuck in a tree kinda like a parachute would be, I remember it was really frustrating trying to untangle them and get them out of the tree. It was also really windy out and looked like it was going to rain. My mom said she was going to walk and get some food (I think she said she wanted taco bell, which she hates..). All the sudden it got dark out and people were talking about there being a killer on the loose, so I got in my car to go pick up my mom. There was a bunch of people (mostly kids) dancing in the street for some reason, and I had to keep dodging them in my car. B. This was a really short dream I remember walking down a long street with my roommates and I found a like brand new smart phone on the ground, one of my roommates wanted it but i wouldnt give it to him. Apparently we were walking to the bar, but it was wierd because I recognised the outside of the place as a BP (gas station) near my house. We got inside and it was really empty. I saw some chick I recognised from high school. I was looking at myself in 3rd person for a min (I had my hat on backwards which is wierd cause I dont do that). We bought pool balls to play pool then like left I think. C. In this dream everthing seemed animated and there were some characters from South Park in the dream. There was some drama going on between two cartoon people. Then one had an idea and the other one was suspicious of the idea. There was some snowman in the dream (in my notes I wrote "cool snowman not acutally cool"). Then we found Kyle (from South Park) in some junkyard and he was dead. And so Cartman (from South Park) was flying over the place in some plane and I think he was like some detective. D. This dream was really short, it was at a hockey game and my team was called the Pantheons. I remember that somebody scored in like the first 3 seconds ( I think it was me who scored it was wierd I was scoring and playing the goalkeeper at the same time). Then I remember the game was really intense after that. Then they subsituted some little girl in, and she like forgot her shoes or something? E. This dream took place in a map from the game Battlefield 2142 (Harbor map). There was something going on were there was an enemy team and then my team. People were like dumbells you find in a gym and they were rolling around trying to kill each other I guess. Somehow I was a dumbell and transformed into Stewie (from Family Guy). The dumbells were different colors I remember a green one, and mine was like random it kept changing. I remember rolling under some monster truck that was trying to run me over. There was some random suitcase on the ground (i wrote in my notes that it might have been a bomb). Some enemy dumbell kicked me off the edge into the water and as I was falling I mooned them. F. This is a short dream that took place in a somewhere that looked like the college I go to but it was like sloped. I was with some friends from highschool and they were smoking and trying to rap (This might be some line they were trying to rap I wrote down in my notes "Whatcha want getting moved with the biggy"). Some cop came over and starting smoking with us, we sat down on a bench and talked about something. G. I was in some buffet line getting some wings then I went and sat down with some people I didnt know. We were sitting at like a really long picnic table. I went to get something to drink and when I got back apparently the janitor threw my food away. I saw someone I recognised and he asked me how the food was. I sat down with him and talked. I wrote in my notes that this might be connected with the next dream. H. I was in what looked like some slums, though I wrote that i was at college. I had some tired dog following me around that I think was mine. I was walking on some country roads and I saw a place called the Frontier Music School (I have no idea what this is). Then I was at some sketchy house with a buddie looking at gas powered bongs. There were people there playing card but I thought they were faking it. Then I was back on the road passing the music school and I remember hear some soothing music comeing from the school. I reminded my of a friend i had that went to some music college so I called him on my phone. I. In this dream I wrote that I was in the 'Alpine House', I was with a friend, some chick, and 'Mr. Sketch'. There was some guy from the FBI in a boat (I think me and my buddy worked for the FBI and were undercover following Mr Sketch). The FBI guy in the boat was like our backup and Mr Sketch killed him somehow. Me and my partner knew what was up so he went out skiing to see if Mr Sketch followed him while I waiting in some cover with cameras trying to get proof. Mr Sketch knew what we were doing and somehow killed my partner, then came back to the Alpine House like nothing happened. We were in some hallway with a candle in it and Mr Sketch was hiding a knife behind his back. He got nervous and then we had some sword fight or something. J. I was driving on the road and we decided to stop at a gas station. A friend of mine was following me driving a semi truck. I was driving some old car and was having trouble driving it cause it was a stick. I got seperated from the guy following me and had to turn around, I remember having trouble turning the car. We met back at the gas station and there was some cops there. Apparently there was a wolfman hiding behind the vending machines. I really enjoyed writing these stories it made some details come back to me about them, and after writing I though wow some of these are pretty wierd. Another thing I found interesting was in the last dream I wrote I was having trouble driving, something that happened in my first LD I found it really hard to drive cars.

This morning 3 WILD's Apparently I need to work on lengthening my dreams. The first one, I got off the couch and noticed my socks had changed to black nylons. I was definitely dreaming. The dream faded to black after half a minute. The second immediately after the first, I got off the couch again, this time I was wearing shorts instead of pants. I shouted, "Increase Lucidity!" Nothing happened that I could tell. I went into the next room and looked in the mirror. I felt really tired, so I said to myself, " Be more awake!" I went over to the window and felt the side of the wood. It was splintery. I saw shadows move and red eyes, but just my cat appeared thankfully. Then I thought of how much expectation matters in dreams, and what if I thought that cat was dead? Then the cat fell on her back and died! Poor kitty! I had to look away even though it wasn't real. Then I thought of where I wanted to go and spun around. Nothing happened and the dream faded to black. The third dream I don't even remember because it was so short.
so i woke up at 9 am with a headache but it was incredibly easy to drift back into sleep,after two-three hours i was inside a dream : i was standing on the sidewalk of a very busy street thinking that i was late for school(i'm not even near that street on my way to school IRL) I said to myself ,this is a dream! so i walked across the street trying to find a place to launch myself into flight ,i started climbing a wooden pole and i was getting near the top ,for some reason i had to look down and there was a skinny guy with bad teeth and a dirty leather jacket ,he was also climbing the same pole ,i said:"hey man this is a dream ,watch me fly!" he had a big smile on his face and tried to pull me down from my pants, i didn't try to resist ,i just took off ,it was so fast i couldn't make out the details of what's underneath me, at this point i started losing control so i decided to land on one of those half done buildings . i looked around and there was a bunch of boxes stacked on top of each other,they looked pretty old and some had a Nazi flag on them, i somehow reached for the ones on top and they were full of whiskey bottles , i grabbed a bottle opened it and started drinking like crazy ,it did taste like whiskey ,for some reason i lost lucidity and woke up .
Jeeze a loo. Quite the LD dry spell. Anyway, it was a straight up DILD. Falling asleep while dreaming is becoming a fairly common way for me to become lucid. Getting down to brass tacks. I was basically trying to fall asleep in an alternate version of my current living room. The TV is on (It wasn't in real life.) and I'm trying all sorts of positions to fall asleep. Eventually I put on some kind of potato sack over my head. I fall asleep then. Things fade in and I'm looking at some kinda crystal ball, things are tinted blue. I grab at it, but it's too far away. I try again and use it as an anchor, feeling it and using it to calm me down. I briefly think about how soon i might wake up since I became lucid, but I let that thought drift away. I move over to a stove (Again, things are still pretty blue.) and feel it. It's quite cold. The whole area looks quite familiar, and i comment aloud to myself that it does. Despite the fact that it looks only vaguely like some place I've been. So I walk over to a table with a bottle of soda and try a sip, it's remarkably realistic and tastes like root beer. (Even though it looked like Pepsi Blue.) This parts a little hazy. I'm in an area that looks a lot like the living room of my previous house. I see a few creatures in a fenced area, they're quite small. One of them is a skeleton riding a spider from minecraft (Despite the fact I've never even SEEN one in minecraft...). I walk by an end table with a lamp. There are minecraftian pack-llamas near it, I comment how cool they look. I start to walk outside, passing my dad sleeping in his room in my previous home. I head out the door, which is exactly like the front door of my current home, and close the door behind me. I'm on the deck of my old house, with a nearby landmark kind of making an amalgam of the two. I think about trying to fly now that I'm outside. So I jump, and naturally, gravity is low. I don't pursue it beyond that. As I look around, everything goes really foggy and a tornado bolts past me on the right. It doesn't destroy anything though and things clear up. Soon after, a gust of wind picks me up and carries me around a bit, I'm pretty surprised by it and begin thinking about my subconscious. The wind sets me down near a dry looking bush and it seems I'm in a park, despite not having gone anywhere. I look out in the distance and see a girl walking through the grass towards me. I know it's my subconscious, and I call out to it. We meet up and I thank it. She looks at me and says "Sometimes when I sleepwalk, it fallows me home. Did that happen to you?" I reply "I don't know yet..." and I wake up. Bah, Elly wakes me up EVERYTIME we meet. But I'm pretty sure it was responsible for making me lucid this time. *Grumble grumble* I sure hope i figure this out eventually. But despite the fact it wakes me up every time I summon it, I'm not gonna stop doing it! >:C
Crimney, as the end of October approaches, I'm on a frikkin' roll when it comes to becoming lucid! There's much to be desired on clarity and length, but I'll take what I can get. This dream marks the saddest dream I can remember having, possibly ever. (Or at least, the saddest I've been within' a dream.) Mainly because it dealt with the death of my Grandmother, who passed in August. No interpretation needed for much of this. Anyway, I'm on a stretch of country road, this guy is pulled over and we (As cops, looking rather military in nature.) are arresting him for some charges. There are a few people that I don't recognize, just some random dream characters. Strangely, once we get the guy arrested, my grandmother is there, and the guy is... On the dashboard? Not in a gruesome or violent way, he's just... There. Anyway, my Grandmother calls him 'Fu Man Chu' and we both explain the nickname to him. To be honest, he looked more of Hispanic decent than Asian, but whatever, it's a dream. A basic jump-cut, a doctor says that the blow my Grandmother received from Fu Man Chu broke something or other and would very soon cause her a great deal of pain. I think he actually suggest euthanasia (Though not in those exact words.). My dad goes off to talk to him some more and I'm in some manner of waiting room, which looks to be more for doctors than family members. I notice pictures of various pets and animals (Mainly just a dog though) on a board, then notice a gray cat with long-ish hair and try and get it to come over (Elly, you sneaky sneaky sub.). A guy offers to bring the cat to me as it's just sitting there. I say "Nah, the trick is not to look it in the eyes." (Cat's kinda see that as an aggressive action if you're a stranger.). This goes on for a bit, then the guy comments how "You (The cat) look a bit scruffy, I think you need a brushing.". He walks over to a stack of plastic bins and gets a brush from the top one. I reply jokingly as if he was talking about me "Yeah, I guess my hair is a bit messy." Cut to a rather strange amalgamation of my previous house and current house. My Grandmother is laying on some kind of combination bed and pool (Ironic, 'cause it's placed where we used to have an actual water bed... Clever Elly.). I check out the pool aspect of it a bit, I close it up and after awhile my dad ads two cream type things to a screw plug. (Yeah, I dunno either.) This kind of starts my Grandmother dying, she's partially in the water. Naturally I'm sad as all hell as stated above, naturally I'm saying things like I love her, don't want to lose her again, etc. Her eyes are gradually getting more closed and, for whatever reason there are whole tomatoes and celery. (Yeah, weird as HELL!) I think the idea was that we were going to make stew out of her?! (What the FUCK!?). Anyway, I get the heck outta there, crying my eyes out and going towards where the living room would be in the old house. As I'm crying I say to myself "Do a reality check." a couple times. So I do, a plugged nose breathe test (The first of three of my usual RC routine.) and it fails and I become lucid. I look around immediately to look for something to grab (Yay me for remembering to do that.), in this case, it happens to be my computer chair. I make sure to feel the tactile sensations quite vividly, looking at it, calming myself and making things clearer. Once that's done, things are still a bit fuzzy, so I count my fingers on my left hand (12!) and try to vocally clear things up by saying "I want to stay in this dream.". Alas, that dream haze never really leaves. All I managed to do beyond that was look out my kitchen window (The window of my current house.) and see two large military vehicles, camouflage and everything. (Ding! Crap, now I remember my dream before this one!). I say to myself "Wow" and I wake up. Actually, I wake up because my breathing was getting really weird like I needed a puff of asthma medicine. @_@ Not much going on, but at least I managed an LD longer than 3 seconds.

Probably my shortest non-being-awakened LD... In fact I know it. I was walking around some girls house I knew in like... Kindergarten to 4th grade. She's showing me around, I see her mother, and mention that i had never been to her house before (Which is true.). She leads me up to an open air deck, the moon is full and frikkin' HUGE. We both take a seat, she's a crossed from me sitting on a couch looking thing with the moon in the sky directly to the right of her (My left.). I get the idea to do an RC, so I do (Nose breathe, as usual.) and it fails. I say to myself 'Figures' but I don't stabilize or anchor... Buh. Anyway, I don't get excited or anything, but I do ask her: "T, have you ever done anything you truly regret?" (The dream before this one, I was saying goodbye to all my high school buddies and teachers, something I never really did for the most part in real-life. Likely why I asked that particular question.). She looks to her left (My right) in the distance and I lose lucidity. So, a short one yes, but I think there's something to be said about becoming lucid two nights in a row... Even if the second time was only for about 30 seconds.
first thing i remember i was walking down the aisle of some church with a few of my friends going to sit down for mass. We sand a few songs when all the sudden shit started getting weird at the church. All the lights went dim and voices started bellowing from the walls. Natually, my friends and i left. When we got outside the church we were walking up this large dirt mountain for a reason i dont no. When we got to the top we looked at the beautiful view of the entiree world. When we had enough we played a game of tag and slid down the mountain on our behinds. when we got to the bottome two men were having an argument looking like they were about to fight, i was egging them on but one of the guys kept chickening out. I said fuck it lets go then i remeber waking up in my room.
I find it very frustrating knowing that I have so many dreams every night and i can only remember one or two...barely. And I remembered having other dreams I just dont remember what any of them were about except for one and once again, I barely remember this one. 6:27 AM My dream last night had my weener dog, Oddie (odee). He could talk. And he seemed to be afraid of me. His voice changed at one point and sounded like my dads voice. We were in a grocery store which seems to be a reaccuring thing in my dreams. Anyways, Oddie, my dog asked me for an eraser but i cant remember why...Then i woke up.
Location: A community swimming pool I was swimming in a community pool in the shallow end which was about 3 feet deep. I walked towards the stairs and climbed out of the pool. I sarted walking towards some friends that I noticed were standing on the other side of the pool. I looked down randomly and noticed that I had nails on my big toes (I had surgery for ingrown toenails where both big toenails were permanently removed)I suddenly became lucid. I got really excited since it was my first time lucid in several weeks, so much so that i woke up.
