What I can see of their faces, looks like they are from the planet of the apes movie. And they are both also wearing long white robes, with silver trim. I'm confused and trying to figure out why they look like that. I decide that the reason is because they are Amish people.

Wow.. Amish women have beards! Who knew??

If this dream would have taken place out of doors. I'm sure I would have ended up getting enough air to get Lucid. It was fun any way though. at one point, I was actually skating and smoking a cigarette at the same time. In my left hand, I was carrying a coffee cup half full of nasty cigarette butts. And it also had some form of dark liquid in it. I was using it as an ash tray. I run into some ladies cart and accidentally spill the cup of cigarette water all over the cloths she has in her cart.

I love how free this dream sounds.. and how fun (skating while smoking a cigarette and holding a coffee cup)! LOL!!

I can only imagine the look on that DC's face when she noticed the ruined clothes and you're no where to be seen!

ha ha man that roller balding dream is mint! sounds like its fun I like the jumping up onto things and skating across them

That stamped dream...man that must have been scary!!

I notice you were talking about the Nose RC, thats my fav one because Its so reliable...its a shame you woke up after you done it.

oh lol your Squirrels had an affect on my dreams last night lol

It's pretty funny, the way you can rationalize things sometimes.

I was wondering if anyone would comment on the female beard lol.
This one sure had a long beard.

Yeah, I really Love those kind of motion dreams. A lot of times I skate around like that in my dreams with no skates at all. Actually, The only reason I started roller blading this summer, is so that I would dream about it. the chances for me to get Lucid in a skating dreaming are very high.

Yeah, Jumping up on my skates in my dreams, is exactly how I was hoping to get myself Lucid. to bad this dream didn't take place outside!

Those bulls were pretty scary looking!

The nose RC is really cool! In all the years that I've been Lucid dreaming I never used reality checks. I always induced Lucidity by staying constantly alert to the fact that I could be dreaming at any moment. And watching for anything abnormal. It's always worked well for me.
After finding this forum, I read about the nose RC. It's the only one I've heard of, that I liked enough to try training myself to do. It's such a strange feeling when you do that in a dream. Well, I have also been working with the watch one a little.

The looking at your hands one is interesting and easy too. I never really noticed anything abnormal about my hands in a Lucid though. except for when I changed them on purpose.

LOL! be nice to those poor squirrels now.


I wasted to much time looking at stuff on the forum. I don't have time to post my dreams now.
In my nap today, I didn't actually fall asleep. But I did about a dozen short little Wilds in about an hour or so. some of them were pretty interesting.

In one, I thought I was taking part In a Dream Views shared dreaming experiment. there was someone from the forum projecting the image of some kind of human sized wooden walking doll into my dream. And I was watching it as it was walking across the room.

I probably got that from The Cusps Project dream beam idea.

I want to write all of them, but I just don't have time right now!

"a dozen short WILD's"--cool! I have DV dreams a lot too, sometimes just short little dreams. I don't think they ever get me lucid like they should.

Sometimes I stay too long to write my dreams too. It's bad when it makes me late for work.

yeah lol it is a strange feeling, totally took me by suprise the first time I ever done it

a dozen WILDs!!! man that is incredible! totally brilliant

I cant wait to read about the green big foot with a battle axe

Yeah, that's not good being late for work Moonbeam!

I can't remember most of those WILDs now.

I was visualizing turning the pages of some big book of pictures.
It became a dream, and I was looking at a picture of this dark pine forest of rolling hills. And there was low laying clouds or fog between the hills. I was Lucid and I started turning the pages just using my mind instead of my hands. Did that for a few moments before waking up.

I was visualizing holding out my hand, and watching a flame burning in the palm of my hand until I was actually there looking at the flame in my hand.

I entered a dream scene without Lucidity by a place I used to live. And I did another nose reality check.

Thats all that I remember well.


Bigfoot
I was at the cabin hanging out with big foot. (Not sure why or where he came from.)
A bunch of loud crazed boars came out of the surrounding woods. Big foot takes off outside. I go to the door and look out. I can see him waving that axe over his head and howling. Boars are scattering and he is chasing them around. At one point he throws the axe at one of the boars. For some strange reason as I'm watching this, I think that I'm in a Flintstones cartoon. I remember thinking that I don't remember the Flintstones being this cool. Once all the boars are chased away. I see this puppy near the cabin. Big foot moves to attack the puppy, but I tell him to stop and he does.
I pick up the puppy and bring it into the cabin, and big foot follows. I remember trying to swing big foots axe around. but it was to heavy for me. And I nearly cut myself.

That's about all I remember.

More stampeding cattle
I don't remember the first part all that well. But I'm outside somewhere, and there is a herd of cattle being herded in my direction.(at least this time they are not after me specifically) But they are coming in my direction very fast. I'm trying to figure out where to run to get away. there is a big cattle pen behind me. with kind of gate like fencing.
I decide to run in there and climb the fence. But once I get in there, I cant climb the fence. The cattle are beginning to enter the pen, and I'm starting to panic a little because
The cattle are also freaked out because of what ever is chasing them to the pen. I'm afraid that once to many get in the pen I will be crushed between them. I keep trying to climb the fence, but everywhere I try to climb up something gets in my way so that I can't. There are people siting on top of the fence watching. And somebody is laughing at me because of how freaked out I am.

I say something like, all you have to do is read my dream journal to know I have a problem animals chasing me. I try to explain how scary it is having those big things charging at you. All the while I'm still trying to find a place to climb up. I eventually get up the fence. And strangely at the top of it is the entrance to some house. I enter the house and there is this stairway. with people sitting on the stairs. there is a movie screen on a wall and the people are watching the movie. I sit and watch for a little bit.
But now my brother is there as well. He gets a call on his cell phone, then tells me we should get out of there. I'm getting up to leave when I wake up.

I already wrote todays dreams in my note book.
I lost a couple of dreams from my nap, because of dog barking at people coming to the door.

Had to do a bunch of reality checks when I got to work today. because when I got there people were all dressed in strange costumes. I forgot it was Halloween.

Yea, I did too--I was at least going to wear all black, but I forgot. I should have been doing more RC's today.

Crazy dreams--the stampeding cattle dreams sounds scary.

You were hanging out with bigfoot?!! That's hilarious! That totally reminds me of a Twoshadow's dream! Lol and I feel like I can really picture him outside in the forest swinging an axe around in the air at a bunch of wild boars...

ha ha Sweet mate! love the big foot dream, I can imagine that swinging axe like! I find it mad that you couldnt lift it....it must have been massive lol

ha ha yeah your animal chase dreams are great must have been scary whe you realised you were traped in the pen lol, thats a good example of the randomness of dreams lol a pen turinging into a house

Yeah, that second one was scarier than the first one. partly because it lasted longer.

That was funny! I have no idea where that came from. I'm just glad he was on my side.

That was pretty strange how the dream changed so suddenly.

By the sounds of it, lucky seems like a better word hahaha!

End times
The dream starts out that I'm in my car driving on the freeway. There may have been more to the beginning, but I don't remember it. Anyway, I'm on the freeway when I come to an area where there is a collapsed bridge. There is the wreckage of many vehicles all over the place. I'm with some guy that I work with.The scene is kind of strange, because there is no one around. Just all these wrecked vehicles and the bridge laying on the ground. The scene is somehow important to the guy I am with. he knows somebody that was in the wreck or something. he runs out into the middles of the ruins. there is a man hole cover in the road, and he begins prying it open. Inside, it's like a dark river. And as I watch, bloated corpses begin to float by the opening of the man hole. I guess, it was supposed to be all the people that were involved in the accident.

Not sure if I woke up for a moment, but the next thing I know it's the end of the world. I think, it's supposed to be after a nuclear war. there is this lady that had survived, and she has this underground shelter. The lady reminds me of the crazy lady from the show Lost.( Can't think of her name right now.) The first thing I remember about this part, is I'm following her down a stairway into her under ground sanctuary.
The first thing I notice is this mechanical metal display of all the planets, and they are rotating around each other the way they should if they were real.

We are locked down there because the outside world is dangerous. there are strange deformed creatures over running the earth. In a corner of the room, where the floor meets the wall. There is a square hole with bars over it. I can tell that it leads deeper into the earth. I can only see a little ways in, after that it's all darkness. I can hear eerie wailing and moaning coming from deep within the tunnel. I begin to see pale ghostly faces emerging from the depths of darkness staring back at me. after a moment of looking in there in a kind of a freaked out fascinated horror.

I hear sounds behind me. I turn And there is some strange creature standing in a utility sink. It looks kind of like the aliens from the remake of The War Of The Worlds.
It has a large wide head, and a little skinny body. It's swinging a shovel like it's attacking something in the sink. I walk over there, and the sink becomes rows of tanks, that are open on top. They are filled with some kind of liquid. Beneath the liquid, there are mutated creatures in some kind of stasis. the strange alien creature is attacking one of them with a shovel, killing it.

For some reason I'm really upset by this. I grab the shovel from it,and start attacking it
until it's head is nearly severed. As I do so, one of the things from the tanks rises out and is screaming some horrifying scream. because, I guess I am killing it's child. Another one of the things rises up out of the tanks as well. This one is reaches for a large hook that is hanging from a wall. and begins moving towards me as I wake up.



There was another part where I was in some military bunker underground. I was with a few other people, and it was the same end of the world theme. we were collecting weapons and explosives. Some guy accidentally set of a massive explosion. He somehow survived by ducking down behind this little wall. I remember thinking, that there was no way that would have protected him, but it did somehow.

Very true there. Did Twoshadows have a bigfoot dream?

Military training program
I was with my brother, and we were going through this combat training simulator designed by the military. It was really just this awsome virtual reality video game.
We had to fight different things with all types of weapons. there were a lot of robot creatures, like from the new Star Wars movies. As we progressed through the levels, and gained greater fighting skills. The fighting became much more intense. at one point I was fighting off a bunch of lobsters that were attacking me.( LOL Now I'm being attacked by lobsters in my dreams. What Next!) We come to an area were we acquire new abilities. We gain the ability to stretch our bodies like plastic man. We spend a little time playing around with stretching our arms really far. then we find these futuristic motor cycles, and we are picking out what bikes we want, to ride in into the next level of the game.

both dreams I recalled very vividly. And they were both very intense.
The second one is a little hard to describe in detail, there was so much going on.
I set my alarm clock early, because I planned to go into work early. But this dream was so cool, that I kept pushing snooze. Because I kept reentering the dream and I wanted to stay in it. I ended up being a little late instead.

A little disappointed that after such vivid recall last night. I didn't recall anything during my nap.

She's had a few that I've read. She follows the bigfoot sighting and stuff so in her dreams she usually just thinks stuff like "cool, finally i see one too." so it's not a good dream sign for her lol. i've teased her about it before :p

wow those dreams are great

That first one sounds strange and kind of freaky. the part with the whole in the corner sound scary as hell man it reminds me of the remake version of pulse for some reason and those things in the tank are freaky....for some reason I think of the wamphyri in the tank in book 3 of necroscope lol


that military dream is incredible!! sounds great with the diffrent levels and I bet those bike were cool

"End times" could be made into a movie!! It was really good and creepy!

Thanks, to who ever voted on my journal and gave me another star!

Yeah, that was creepy. Woke up with the fading image of that thing coming towards me with the hook.

And those virtual bikes were sweet also. I picked out the best one, but the brakes didn't work to well. Should of recognized that as a dreamsign!

That third book is wild isn't it!

This dream was influenced by two things. The bridge that actually fell here.
Scary stuff, I can hardly imagine the terror those poor people felt as their cars were sinking into the river.

And also, I saw A preview of a new Will Smith movie called I Am Legend. It's about him being the Last person on the earth. And the world is full of some kind of mutated creatures. I think the creatures are supposed to be whats left of the rest of humanity. Sounds like my kind of movie, hope it's a good one.

Recap for the month of October
# of Lucid Dreams 6
But, they were all pretty short ones. And A ton of brief moments of Lucidity.
Not real happy with this month, But over all not real bad I guess. My distraction in September, definitely had an effect on this month. Pretty happy about all the nose reality checks I started doing in my dreams though.

Goals for November
Make more time for reading! I had gotten away from my books the last month as well.
Time to get into that relaxed Lucidity inducing state of mind, that reading puts me in.

Not sure about this months Lucid Tasks! I may, or may not try the advanced Task.
I guess I'll decide that when the time comes.

I'm not sure I want to spend valuable Lucid time looking for turkeys lol. I rather try and do last months tasks.

Slept less than an hour before going to work today. I stayed up to late, then my mind kept wandering to some False ideas about Lucid Dreaming that I read on the forum. Really wasn't even worth thinking about, but I kept thinking about it anyway. no recall in my nap either, but I did have some vivid dreams in the short time I slept before going to work. But I lost a lot of it because of rushing around trying to get to work on time.

Two short little WILD's both times I entered the exact same dream scene without Lucidity. Both times I was in my kitchen and opening the refrigerator to get out my water jug for a drink. And both times I remembered it was a dream, as I was reaching for the water jug. Had just enough time to examine the contents of my dream refrigerator for a moment, before sliding back awake.


I was at the cabin playing with the four wheeler. but it actually turned into an off road go cart.

I was in some place where people were doing some crafts or something. I was sitting at some bench with a table. there were all these tools hooked to the table. they were like the dentists power tools they keep by the chair. Some guy was using one of the tools, and the sound of it was just like a dentists drill and it was making my teeth ache just listening to it.

I was camping and there was something about bears. I'm not sure if I actually saw bears. Or if I was just worried about the threat of bears coming into my camp site. but I'm pretty sure I wasn't attacked by any.

And I know there was some stuff about Dream Views, and Lucid Dreaming.

I have nights like that..hope the weekend is better, for both of us.

No way man! I didnt know you lived near that bridge that fell! I remember it was on the news not to long ago. Is everything ok with it now because I heard there were concerns about the other bridges too.

but on a lighter note......nice one on the WILD's man wish I knew your secret lol

Oh do you mind if I borrow your idea for the monthly summery?

Not much sleep last night either, but a few interesting dreams. And finally some nap recall.

Yeah, that bridge was pretty freaky. I've gone across it so many times myself. And my sister and my nephew went across it the day before it fell.
A lady I work with, has a friend that had just crossed it and it fell behind her.

I haven't really heard much about it for a while. I don't watch regular TV to much. Only DVDs. But yeah, I heard there were bridges all over the country that are being looked at now.

Go ahead and use the summery. I think keeping track of your progress is a good thing to do. And goal setting is also. I'm going to do it for the year as well as the month.

I guess part of my little wild secret, is that I have a little bit of insomnia. So I don't fall asleep to fast. And, I have to absolutely clear and focus my mind in order to fall asleep at all. Sometimes I can be completely exhausted. And if I let my mind keep wandering I still won't fall asleep. But after I've been asleep a while I don't have a problem with waking up and falling back to sleep. At least most of the time that is.
