A Lucid Dream

Lucid Dream # 12 of 2008
Best dreamsing noticed

I'm in an outdoor location. There is a TV playing, and a commercial is on for some street legal dirt bike. I'm watching the commercial thinking it would be cool to have that for the cabin. Next thing I know there is one right in front of me. I sit on it, and try out the blinkers and lights. They only want fifteen hundred dolors for the thing brand new. I'm thinking heck yeah, I'll pay that.

Meanwhile, near by is this big box like structure. It has a lid with hinges, and a fan blowing on the inside of it. The cover of the box is open, and there are some kids playing on the inside of the cover.

I look over in that direction. The cover slams shut flipping the kids into the box on top of the fan.(I can't actually see the fan. I just know it's there.) I freak out and run over there to try and help them. I jump up onto the box thing. suddenly without warning, the box lid forcefully flips open, springing me high into the air. Lucid,I can see the kids hanging from the inside of the lid. They were hanging onto it the whole time without falling onto the fan. I shout to them."This is a dream!" And I continue flying straight up into the sky. There are a few power-lines, but they don't hinder me at all. I think about grabbing onto them, and playing on them. But I decide to rocket higher into the sky.

I then release control and lean backwards into a little end over end free fall. Once near the ground again, I hear one of the kids saying,"this is so cool, we can do anything we want." I see them trying to do back flips. but they keep falling down.
I swoop along the ground, somewhere between ten and twenty feet up, until I come to this long apartment complex style garage. It's brown, and still has an a frame style roof.

I land on the roof, then take a few running steps and jump off. I attempt to do three back flips before landing on my feet on the ground. But I don't get quite enough rotation on the third flip, and I crash into the ground. (Oh well.) I get up, jump up, and grab the edge of the roof. I try to pull myself back up. I'm surprised at how realistic gravity feels right now. I'm having a hard time getting up, but after a moment I manage it.

I run across the roof again, and leap into the air. I can see someone taking pictures of me flying.(I guess they want to have proof they saw a flying man.) I fly along a little, then land on this brick wall. After all this flying, I start to question whether or not I really am dreaming. No problem though, I just pinch my nose to find out, and I can breath.(I'd like to shake the persons hand, who came up with that RC. Their a genius!)

I jump into the air again, and I see my dog running on the ground below. I yell to a nearby person,"My dog knows it's a dream too, dogs always know that kind of thing."
I know she can fly, so I call to her. She jumps into the air and flys up to me.

I put my arm around her, and we fly together for a while. After a little bit, she struggles to get out from under my arm. I realize that she wants to go on her own Lucid adventure. So I let her go. She lands on the ground, and I watch fondly, as she takes off chasing after some small animals. Then I wake up with the dog sleeping next to me.

I just had a shared dream with my dog! Well, you never know.

WILD attempt # 1
So Close
After waking up from the above Lucid, I do maybe a twenty minute WBTB.Then...
I enter a work scene fully Lucid. I'm doing something inappropriate for the work place.
There is a little exhibitionism involved. I see my boss come walking by. He says." when I get time, we are going to have a little talk about the future of your employment here." Knowing I'm dreaming I don't care, I think it's funny. I watch for a Little bit as people are doing work related stuff. And my boss walks by a couple more times. I decide to go for a little walk. So I walk along, and observe the environment, and people. I feel Like I'm having a full blown Lucid Dream now. I suddenly think, WOW! I'm successfully WIlDING! But my excitement over that realization wakes me. up.

Attempt # 2
I immediately enter another scene, Lucid again. I'm washing my hands in a sink. I'm thinking It's interesting that the faucet works.(I often watch to see if faucets are working right when I use them. I figure they could malfunction like any other device.) As soon as I think that though, the water stops coming out. And no matter how much I turn the handles the water wont come out again. I play with that a few moments before waking up again.

man I worship your lucid ability!!

That is just great! I love the rocketing into the air and the free falling! so cool

You are right the person who invented the nose RC is a genius! it is by far the best and most exciting RC! it allways takes me by surprise.

That is cool with the dream share with the dog! I bet it was cool when it flew up to see you


and the wilds ah man thats great even thought they were short they sound fun. I love the bosses comment to the inappropriate work activity lol

Oh man! That first lucid would have been pefect for trying to fly into space!!

To bad dogs cant talk in real life. I don't know if I believe in shared dreams, but that would have been really cool!

Thanks Mark, I appreciate that. I've been working pretty hard at it lately.

Yeah, I love that flying free falling thing. I could happily do that every Lucid.
It would get boring writing the same Lucid over and over though lol.

Yeah, that was so cool having my Lucid dog with me. I wish I would have remembered to try talking to her though.

Yeah, I got so caught up in the thrill of the moment, I didn't think about doing anything else. Oh well, it's been a while since I had a good flying Lucid like that.

I was thinking the same thing about The dog talking too.
I don't really know if we had a shared dream either, but it's a nice thought.
She did just randomly appear out of nowhere. I wasn't thinking of her at all at the time.

Awesome! I'm at a loss for any other words. Oh wait, maybe .... envious!

You, sir, are a dreaming king! o.O

Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words.

City of destruction
Kind of Lucid in this dream, I'm not really sure what I thought was going on. I don't think I knew it was a dream, But I did know it wasn't real. And I had nearly as much fun as a Lucid. maybe I was thinking it was a movie again, because I was able to replay events.


I don't remember a lot about it, but I was in this city with tall sky-scrapers. I look up as one of the towering buildings begins to crumble from the top. Large pieces of twisted metal, are falling everywhere. The building begins to tilt and fall. crashing into other buildings as it does so. And those buildings shatter and fall as well. I'm fully aware this isn't real, and I'm not afraid at all. (It's strange.) I know nothing can harm me because it's not real. So, instead of running, I get into the path of the falling sky-scraper.
The whole thing falls on top of me destroying everything in the area. Things go dark, and metal beams slam me into the ground.

No big deal though, I easily pull myself out from under it. And I'm excited about how cool that was.

I run into some other building and get my step dad. I tell him about how cool this is.
I bring him back outside, I've somehow rewound everything. Not even sure how I did that, But I know everything is back to normal because of something I did.

I point up at the tallest sky-scraper, and tell my step dad to watch. Again the building begins to crumble from the top. The building begins to tilt, and I tell my step dad to get into the path of it, because it's bad ass when the thing crashes down on you. Huge pieces of twisted metal come flying down at me, and I step right into the path of them.
They hit me, but I don't really feel much, but a slight jerk. I think they end up passing right through me.

Here comes the falling building, crashing through other buildings, then slamming me with force into the ground. Again, I drag myself out from under it. No big deal, that was fun as hell! (lol ok, I'm a little strange.)

I look around and everything is in ruins. I see a train moving along some tracks. I start picking up some big boulders and throwing them at the train. trying to knock it off the tracks, just trying to cause more havoc and destruction. I wake up while doing that.

Strange, it was like a Lucid Dream, without the awareness that it was actually a dream. I just knew it wasn't real.


Don't think I'm going to have to post that horse dream.

You have a weird kind of humor, but I like it
Standing under a building that is falling down... wouldn't be my hobby But I like to read you had so much fun with it. It's interesting that you knew it wasn't real, but weren't calling it lucid either.

Oh, and about that lucid you describe earlier: LOVE the part where you shared a dream with your dog! What kind of dog do you have?
And lots of flying, that is still my favorite thing to do in a lucid as well. You're my inspiration when it comes to dream control! Thanks again for the advice you gave me on TK and flying.

Kind of a coincidence with my dream last night; it started out with a sky-scraper being destroyed, and disaster in the city.

here's another...kinda...
when I thought of practicing my lucid control I had an image of a half destroyed ghost city...meh, not really a coincidence...but it would be fun to try out blowin crap up and using TK on whole buildings at a time.

yay destruction!!!

great dream man, I love the action you have in your dreams. I dont think you are strange for having the building fall on you it must have been a total thrill like you are invincible or something

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll be back to reply to them tomorrow night.

Took a little personal relaxation time today.

I only remember a few fragments of dreams last night, and in my nap. But each one were events that could have easily turned Lucid.

In one, I was actually dirt biking in the house. I made a jump, out of some removable shelves from a book shelf I have, and some pillows lol.

I was doing laps around the house, and hitting the jump. I was actually getting pretty good air off it. I was barely avoiding running into furniture and lamps. It was quite a blast. Though pretty strange, because the house seemed all the right proportions. But I somehow found the room to race around on my dirt bike. There really isn't enough room for that at all. And there is no way I could make a jump out of bookshelves and pillows. Unless the bike was the size of a radio controlled toy

LOL yeah, one of my favorite Lucid activities has always been walking head first into danger.

I'm still a little confused by it not being a Lucid Dream as well. I can't remember ever thinking that I was in a dream. It was a kind of knowing without knowing kind of situation. It happens to me now and then.

She is the special kind.

It's definitely about my favorite thing as well. And I really love jumping off of things.
Your welcome, I'm just happy I'm able to help. I don't feel like I have all the control I would like to have. But there are some things I'm good with.
And many other things yet to learn.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised when I read that in your journal.

Yeah, that would be fun. When ever I think of that, I get a picture in my mind of Charlie from the movie "Fire Starter."
A scene towards the end, when she just got pissed and was walking along with everything exploding in flames around her, and her hair flying around her face.

Very true.

Thanks Mark! Yeah that's exactly what it what it was like. Very intense and exhilarating.

Lucid Dream lost
Yeah, I had a Lucid last night that I couldn't recall. I woke up with only the memory that I was walking around asking DC's questions, and I knew I was Lucid.

Then later at work, I was thinking about reality checks. And the memory came back to me of the moment I did a reality check and became Lucid. But thats it.

Not much other recall last night either. Some strange dream about some kind of refuge for poor orphan kids. Almost like that "Oliver Twist" movie.

Lucid nap fragment
Running across the rooftop of a building, just getting ready to jump off when I wake up.
I think it may have just been one of my little WILDS but I'm not sure.

sorry to hear about you forgetting the LD. that really stinks.

Thanks, yeah recall has sucked the last couple days. I think it's mostly due to getting to much sleep on my days off. Hmm, I've noticed lately that when I get the right amount of sleep, my recall starts to slip. that's kind of the opposite of the way it should be.

What's the trick to your little WILDS? I try and try to WILD but I never get anything from it.

But Caradon since you have twice as many LD's as anyone else, you can most afford to lose one.

agreed! it is a real shame you lost that dream...there is nothing worse its horrible, still I would kill to have half the LDs you have caradon

Sorry about the late reply. I was really sick yesterday, got hit pretty hard with something. Still not to great, but a lot better than yesterday.

slept all afternoon, and all night. Over 12 hours. It wasn't good sleep though. just kind of drifting in and out of sleep all night.

Hmm, I do a few different things actually. But what I do most often, is lay on my back so I'm not quite as comfortable. Then I try to keep my mind clear of any random thoughts. Just sit there listening for inner sounds, and watching for images to appear. If you work at doing that every night. After a while. you should start seeing Hypnagogic imagery. Then start entering dream scenes. It's different for everyone though. I hardly ever experience some of the strange things some people describe. Most of the time now,I end up just going directly into the dream.

Probably didn't describe that very well. I'm still pretty out of it, and can't think right.

I'm not sure about twice as many, everyone has been doing well lately. And you have had a great come back since your dry spell as well.

Though your right, better to count my blessings. It's been starting to feel like I've been wearing that barrier of awareness that keeps you from being Lucid, thinner and thinner. But now events are conspiring against me again, with getting sick. It seems like every time I start getting to that point something comes up, to try and slow me down.

You can do it mark!

Your actually getting them a lot more often than I did when I started trying to relearn Lucid Dreaming.

Though I admit, my simple quiet life really helps to work in my favor. I don't have much going on besides working and taking care of the dog.
So I'm able to focus my efforts on Lucid Dreaming. And my job is perfect for it. I work all day in my own little world. That's actually where I work the hardest at inducing Lucids. But even so, things still come up now and then, to throw me off.

Not much recall with being sick. I can wake up with dreams in my mind. But they slip away quickly.

Caradon, that's too bad. I swear, everyone I know has been sick!

You inspire me...I like what you say about wearing down the barrier of awareness; I know that should be possible, and you make me think that it might actually be!

Hope you feel better soon.
