Welcome to my dream journal! I recently lost my physical dream journal (I'm sure it'll turn up though), so I decided to start up one here. I'll begin with the two dreams I remember from today. Entries whose dates are enclosed in asterisks are those with lucid dreams. Feel free to leave any comments or questions.

***9 November***
What I remember of this dream begins in a store not unlike Walmart, where I am looking at a large display of televisions, all playing different programs. On one of the televisions appears a close up of a penis going in and out of a vagina (sorry to start the journal off like this, but I'm just describing what I saw ), and I think this was hilarious. I laugh at it for a good minute or so, until somebody catches my eye. It is a former classmate of mine, who I still see from time to time but whose name I can never remember. I try to tell him about the television, but he seems rather uninterested. At this point the dream fades and I wake up. It's about 3:30 a.m., so I go over the events in my head and tell myself I'll write about it later, then go back to sleep.

I find myself in the same store, where I listen to a conversation between two shoppers discussing the films on display. This dream is very short, and I wake up again. Again, I promise to write about it later, and tell myself that if I find myself in that store again I'll try to remember that it's a dream.

A few minutes later I go back to sleep, and I am indeed in the same store. I see many racks of clothes in front of me, and a female shopper looking through them. Just as I told myself, I immediately realize that I'm dreaming! I kiss her in celebration, then go off. Something happens that I can no longer remember, but after a short while I am in a hallway on campus, and things are still fuzzy. I try spinning around, rubbing my hands, and yelling "Increase lucidity now!" which helps a little but it still doesn't look like reality. I decide to ignore it and get on with my dream. I walk towards my Russian classroom, where I hope to find a classmate I have a crush on. On the way, I notice an annoying kid I knew in high school, who says something to the effect of "Go to Vietnam, hippy!" I tell him to fuck off and keep going on my way.

I get to the classroom. sit down in my seat and look around the room. I can't see her, so I watch the door attentively, commanding her to come. I'm a little disappointed that I can't, until I look to my left and there she is! I get up and give her a big hug. She wraps her arms and legs around me, and I carry her around the building just making out with her for about five minutes. The dream starts to fade and she turns into a banana for some reason. I am quite startled by this and wake up. It is a little after 4:00.

***9 November (afternoon)***
After I get home from class around 1 p.m., I feel pretty tired and decide to take a nap, and tell myself I will have a lucid dream.

My memory of this dream begins in the same building on campus as the previous one. Somehow I realize that I have superpowers but don't realize I'm in a dream (that kind of thing ought to tip me off, you would think). I am able to do all sorts of insane stunts on a beam about ten feet over the floor.

I get down and suddenly remember something that was said on these forums, namely that controlling your dreams and knowing your dreaming are two separate things. For a while I think what a pity it is that I can only control my dream but not know that I'm dreaming. Then it hits me. I am dreaming!

I see the girl from my previous dream doing her homework, and I sit down next to her. I am able to confess my true feelings for her, and simply talk with her while embracing her. Feeling the warmth of her body against mine is the most exhilirating feeling. I get lost in the conversation and for a while forget that I am dreaming. I begin to help her on her Russian homework, explaining to her how the verbs work. After about ten minutes, she says she has to leave, and I get up to walk her to the parking lot. I suddenly remember that I'm in a dream. On the way I see many teachers and classmates of mine, and wave at them. When we are in the parking lot, I say "До свидания" ("goodbye" in Russian) to the girl and she leaves the dream world.

Somewhere in here the scene changes to my hometown. I am on a sidewalk, and lying in the grass I see a large green stick. I decide to go on a GTA-style killing spree just for the hell of it, and pick up the stick. I aim it at people and make machine gun sounds. The stick turns into a machine gun and I start mowing people down, shooting cars and buildings. The people bleed and then disappear, and I try to break every window I see. After shooting all the windows on the library, I see a man come from behind a car who starts walking towards me. At first I think he is going to try to kill me, but then I tell myself that it's my dream and he's going to do something nice instead. He gives me an Oreo and walks away. I decide to test out my taste buds and the Oreo tastes entirely realistic.

After that yummy treat, I turned my gun back into a green stick and began flying around on it much like a witch flies around on a broomstick. It is a lot of fun and I fly around the town, eventually landing on the roof of the grocery store. The dream starts to fade, but I don't care since this was my longest lucid dream ever and I had loads of fun. I wake up and immediately shout out "YES!" It is shortly after 2:30.
