Thread: Caradon's Dream Journal

Last two days I was lost in season three of lost on DVD. So I got a little behind.

I finished it, now I have to wait at least a year to see more. I just love that show for some reason.

Intensity
I had this dream yesterday, and words are not going to be able to do it justice. but it was just amazing. It's been in my mind every since I woke up from it.

It starts out that I'm with some man and woman.(not sure who they are.) we were driving and had stopped at this house for some reason. The house is all run down, and neglected. It had something to do with the woman. It's an old place she lived and she had to get something from there.

We leave the house, get back into the pickup truck, and start to drive away. I can see that the area is surrounded by hilly forest. It's just beautiful, and I'm very moved by the scenery.

I'm not driving, the other man is. We are driving up a steep hill into the forest. I notice that the road is no longer paved, but kind of grassy. once to the top of the hill. I can see that it drops steeply on the other side. It's more like a wide trail than a road now.
we begin descending the hill. The truck begins picking up speed very quickly. Until we are going so fast that the trees are just a blur. The trail turns a corner. I tell the driver he should slow down. It's an unfamiliar road, and who knows what we could run into.

Just after I say that, huge rocks appear in the road. And we are barely able to avoid them.

OK, we have this very intense ride. Like a roller-coaster ride through this incredibly beautiful forest. Up and down steep hills at high speed. Until we finally climb to the top of this one hill and stop. I look down and the drop is nearly vertical into this valley. And it's a very long ways down. Far below, the drop gets so steep that they had built a suspension bridge crossing the valley, to the hill on the other side. The bridge looks a lot like the one in California. The bridge is metal grate, so that you can see through it. So it makes it even scarier.

I'm terrified and excited at the same time, about this descent. For some reason I'm no longer in the truck, but on foot. I begin to run on foot down this hill that is so steep, it's like running down the face of a cliff, straight towards this suspension bridge. (And I'm afraid of the bridge, I think it's going to break and fall when I hit it at speed.)

I begin running faster and faster. Until I'm moving so fast that I'm running as fast as a speeding car. And out loud I'm saying over and over. " I'm so scared, I'm so scared."
But the truth is, I was as thrilled as I was scared. I can't even put words to how intense that moment was, running down that cliff, with that bridge rushing towards me.

Just before getting to the bridge, I say out loud " This is just like a dream!" And I'm nearly Lucid. That Lucid feeling starts to wash over me. But then I'm on the bridge. Running across it, not even slowing down. I suddenly begin to fly! My speed is so fast, and I just kind of get tired of moving my legs, and I lift off. I gain a little altitude. I'm not higher than the tree line. I don't feel like I'm flying. It's more like my momentum is carrying me through the air.

I see the man and woman below me now, on a motorcycle. The woman is riding on the back. I cross the bridge, and the road curves on the other side. I'm afraid I'm going to crash right into the trees. But, I somehow manage to will myself to make the turn.
I start to lose my momentum a little. And I begin dropping. The two of them are right below me though. As I drop, I grab onto the womans shoulders. I'm hanging on with legs flying out behind me lol. And I hang on and ride that way until I soon wake up.

^^^That was so cool. I love those really intense dreams like that. I can just imagine the feeling of going so fast and being scared yet thrilled. It lasted for a long time, it seems like.

That is a perfect dream for flying. Even before I got to the part about you flying, I thought "wow, so much speed. Any moment he is just going to lift off the ground and fly". Good description. I could picture the whole thing in my head.

great great stuff man! I can just picture that having had similar dreams like the cliff falling one and that momentum feeling I have had that in the past.

your dreams are always so much fun...what do you do to get them that way?

Thanks yeah, My fear of heights came into play there, thats what made it so intense. But it was fun too. It did last a pretty good length.

Thanks, When I lifted off like that it was kind of strange. It just seemed so natural to take to the air.

I'm so surprised I didn't get Lucid. Probably if a had gotten a little higher I would have.

You know, I really don't have any idea! I just have this thing about motion in my dreams. I think it's something that's deeply ingrained into my subconscious.

And it also happens a lot more, when I'm trying to induce Lucid Dreams. It's like just focusing on getting Lucid incubates those kind of dreams somehow. I'm not even sure how. It's like my subconscious just knows how to create the best situation for me to get Lucid.

I had that dream after a ten minute WBTB.

and I had another motion dream last night.

Rope swinging
I'm in some parking lot, that is surrounded by buildings on all sides. There is a rope hanging from something. I don't know what it's attached to. But I'm holding onto the end of the rope, and swinging through the air in a circular motion. I get a momentum going, and I'm able to use the momentum to run across the walls of the buildings surrounding the parking lot. Sometimes I'm swinging free through the air, and other times, I'm running across the sides of the buildings. I do this for some time, just having a good time.

I don't remember getting off the rope, but next thing I know I'm with a couple people and I'm telling them about how much fun this rope thing is. And I'm smoking.

Fragment
I remember being on a motorcycle outside my house, and riding a wheelie through the driveway.

Dirt bike
I'm at my brothers house, and I'm getting out my dirt bike for the first time in a while. I'm excited about riding it. I push it out of the garage, and try to start it. But it now has a pull start like a lawn mower, instead of the kick starter. I pull and pull on the cord but it won't start.

Lucid nap fragment
I'm on the roof of a tall skyscraper building. I'm thinking I'm spider-man. I know I'm at least some what Lucid. Because I distinctly remember being aware that I was just pretending to be spider-man, in my dream.. But I don't think I was fully Lucid.
I look out across this endless sea of big city buildings. And the feeling I get when I know I'm about to go swinging across the city on my web, is just magical. I leap from the roof top, and as I begin falling, I attempt to fire a web out of my hand. But only a short burst of web comes out, and falls uselessly. I then try again. This time I successfully shoot a thick string of web into the nearest building. But it doesn't stick! lol. It just hits the building and falls off. That's all I remember, I think I woke up there.

Yesterdays WILD
For the first time, I had one of those fake leaving the body WILDs it was so cool.

I'm laying on my back on my bed, with my eyes closed. When the scene fades into view. the scene is me laying on my back, on my bed. My dog is next to me, and I know I'm dreaming this. I'm so close to the waking state though, that I can feel my real body on the bed. So the body I'm dreaming that I'm in, feels like my real body. I lift up my arms, and they come right out of my body. I can still see the arms of my body laying at my sides on the bed, but I'm waving my dream arms around in front of me in fascination. Then I think, maybe I can completely climb out of my body. So I try to sit up. And it works! I sit up right out of my body, I can still see myself laying on the bed. Thinking, I'm about to get up and walk into a Lucid Dream. I get over excited at this point and wake up.

The whole time, I was very aware that I was just WILDING. And not having an actual out of body. But it was a really cool experience anyway. I hope I can do that again. I hear of that happening to people. But that's the first time it happened to me.

Good job...you are getting better all of the time, I think! Cool spidey dream. It will be interesting to see if you can do that getting out of your body thing again.

Thanks, I wonder what triggers that kind of WILD. All I can do, is do what I always do, and see what happens.

I tried for the millionth time last night and failed. I've only experienced it maybe 4 or 5 times.

ha great stuff with that WILD it must have been strange, I have never experienced anything like that...im not to good at wilding.

any tips mate?

hey guys. I'm probably really behind, again, but I had the flu so i was just trying to keep my mind off of the pain (wow...that sounded emo). Just wanted to say hi. I'll see you all later when I'm feeling all better.

Oh, that's still pretty good though. I try pretty much every night. I've been having a hard time clearing my mind enough for it since I got sick.

Well, the hardest part is relaxing and emptying your mind of all thoughts. If you practice doing that enough, you should be able to start getting some hypnagogic imagery. And entering dream scenes. If you can't keep your mind quiet, visualization can work well too. Dont think any words, but give your mind something to do by picturing something in you mind as clearly as you can. Some things are easier to picture than others. It's good to experiment with different things. It helps if there is movement involved.

One thing that helps me, Is that I practice keeping a clear mind during the day as well. It's part of my technique for attaining Lucidity. I try not to let my mind wander, and keep all my senses alert to as many things as I can at one time. And watch to see if there is anything dreamlike about anything at all. So when I lay down to go to sleep, I already have a head start on clearing thoughts.

Oh, your still sick! That sucks! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you get better soon.

Lucid Waterfall
This is probably the most interesting way I have ever gotten Lucid. But I was woken up right away.

It starts out that I'm having a dream about being on the computer, on Dream Views. I had just finished writing a Lucid Dream in my journal. I really want to experience the dream again. I get the idea that if I read the dream over again, I will be able to reenter the dream somehow. So I begin reading it...

Immediately the dream shifts, and I have entered the dream. I find myself being swept along, down a fast moving white water river. I'm approaching a waterfall that resembles Niagara Falls. And there is no way, that I can avoid going over them. For just a moment I'm scared. But then I remember this is my dream, and I'm Lucid! I relax and let myself be washed over. I go flying over the falls, with a beautiful scene spread out below me. Then I'm woken up by barking dog.

Polar Bear
For some reason, I'm in a small town in some arctic place. I decide to go for a walk.
The town is so small, that I don't have far to go before I'm in the wild. To my right is a cliff, that drops down to the ocean. On my left is just a frozen arctic land scape as far as I can see.

I'm walking along, when a little ways ahead, I notice some kind of movement. I look closer, and I see it's a huge polar bear! The bear is curled up on a pile of snow, just being lazy, like a dog. I'm frozen for a moment, not sure what to do. I begin to back slowly away. The bears chin is resting on the snow, and I can see that it's looking right at me. I continue to back slowly away, trying not to agitate it in any way. But I'm becoming more frightened by the moment. The bear casually gets up, and starts sniffing around. And it then begins walking in my direction. It's not charging, just casually walking my way.

I'm very close to town now, so I turn and run. I enter town, and continue running down the street. Quite terrified now, I'm looking for the nearest corner store to enter and find safety. I make it to the store, There is a person standing outside and I tell him about the bear. I suddenly hear a little girl screaming and crying. She was playing outside, and I realize the bear must have found her. Horrified, I look around. I see some red bricks on the ground. I gather a few of them up, and take off running out there.

My plan, is to throw bricks at the bear and get it to come after me, instead of the girl. After that I have no idea lol. I get out there, and there is a slope down to where the ocean is. I look down there, trying to find the bear and the girl. What I see instead is a group of teenagers being loud and obnoxious. The teenagers come walking up the slope, and I ask them about the bear. They don't seem to know what I'm talking about. I tell them That there is a polar bear. One of them looks surprised and a little scared. But they tell me they didn't see it and they walk away. Then I wake up.

Flight of the eagle
I'm in some outside setting. I look up and I can see a bald eagle soaring over head. Not so high that I can't see it well. I can see it in all it's detail. I can't even describe the feeling I have as I watch it. I'm partially Lucid here, because I'm aware that I have the ability to fly as well. I'm thinking about flying up there, and soaring around with the eagle. And I'm actually planning to do just that. But I'm struck spellbound just watching it. I just stare as it glides and swoops lower and higher. And eventually lands on the ground very close to me. I try not to make any sudden moves and scare it
away. I wake up shortly after that.

Blood sucking freaks
This was a really long one, some of the details are kind of fuzzy at the beginning. going to write the short version.

It starts out at some house or apartment. I'm in Colorado Springs. There is a girl and a guy there. We are getting ready to go on a back-packing trip into the mountains. Up the Pikes Peak trail. There is a lot of stuff involving getting ready for the trip.

Eventually we head out. but we get lost in a maze of buildings. And we can't find our way outside. I remember climbing a stairway, that seemed to go on forever. Then we come to this area that seems familiar to me. I recognize this place, because I have been there in other dreams before. I tell my friends that I think I know the way out. But they argue, and want to go a different way. After much arguing I get them to follow me.

Partially Lucid again, I realize they are being so difficult because they are DC's, and that's just the way dreams go.

They follow me down a hall, up some more stairs, and into a room. One wall of the room is made of windows, and I can see outside. I go to one of the windows and it easily pushes open. But we are on an upper level. I don't care I climb out onto a ledge. And somehow find my way to the ground.

I'm out on a busy street, and there is a bus stop. A bus comes along and I get in. I ride the bus for a while, and I end up downtown Minneapolis! I'm like WTF how did I get to Minneapolis. I though I was in Colorado. And I also just now realize, I got separated from my friends.

No longer on the bus now, there are people all over. I see a woman I think I recognize. I wave to her and say hi. But then I realize I don't really know her. And I tell her That I was mistaken, I thought she was somebody else. I tell her my story and how I ended up lost here, and I need to find my friends again. but I have no idea how.

I see her writing something. It looks like a check. Like she is going to help me get a bus ticket back to Colorado or something.( I'm a little confused about that part.)
But, she suddenly falls to the ground, and is convulsing in agony. I'm like Whats wrong? are you OK? She tells me that shes OK, that she is some kind of sex addict, and is going through withdrawals from not having enough sex.

I agree to help her out with her problem. And I begin walking away with her. Something changes though. And I become aware that she needs more than sex, she also needs blood! She is some kind of vampire, that feeds off both sex and sucking blood. I cut my finger somehow.( I don't remember how.) And I offer the blood to her. She sucks a little blood out of my finger. And she tells me that, that will be good enough to get her by for a little while.

Suddenly, a group of her friends show up and sit down next to us. There mouths and fingernails are all crusted in dried blood. And I realize that it's from the last guy that had agreed to help them. It's a bit frightening. I ask if they are planning to kill me. One of them laughs, and says,"Oh no, At least not right away anyway."

Perspective shifts now, and also the dream shifts. I now have a wife, I'm with my wife in the shower. But I'm watching like a movie. There are huge patches of flesh torn off my body, where the vampire women had peeled my skin away in places. I can see organs but hardly no blood, because they were sucking the blood out of the wounds.
There is some artery that suddenly starts squirting blood out.

Now, the vampire women are back for more! they are breaking into the place. I try to get my wife out of there. She climbs out a window, it's an upper level though. She slips and falls to the ground. She moves around a bit. I can tell she has broken bones. But then she is still. It looks like she had died. One of the vampires enters the room. She looks out the window and sees my wife, and she laughs. Thats the last thing I remember. I think I woke up at that moment.

Same night as the above post
I'm in some kind of concert hall. On the stage is a guy singing, and he is really bad.
A man steps up to the stage, and pulls something out of his jacket. There is a bright flash of light, and the singer is knocked unconscious. People carry him away.

I'm sitting in the front row, in these really comfortable chairs. There is a girl sitting in the seat next to me. We have the chairs leaned all the way back, and are awaiting the next singer to come on stage. It seems to be taking forever though. and I'm getting sleepy. I guess the girl next to me is getting sleepy as well. She moves closer to me, and puts her head on my chest, I think she falls asleep. She is a complete stranger but it's a pleasant moment anyway.

Aquarium
I'm at the pet store looking at the fish. I want to buy Some Oscars (like I used to have) But,I don't want to go through the work of maintaining an Aquarium I'm watching the fish swimming around for a while before waking up.

I was recently in a pet store doing exactly that. I would love to buy a new aquarium, but I just don't have the time or motivation to be cleaning the tank all the time. but I really loved those Oscars I had. And wish I had more of them.

Fragment
I remember something about swimming in the ocean, and being afraid of sharks.

It took me so long to write all this stuff I don't have time to visit other journals right now. have to get to bed.

I'm mad at that dog! Cool dream! (Well it started out good!)

What a nice guy!

The rest of that dream was crazy! Great recall; that whole night of dreams is pretty amazing.

I don't know you have had some pretty good ones. This one was pretty boring until that last part. Actually the whole dream had an intense feeling to it, even before the vampire stuff.

Well, I wasn't really emotionally attached. I was just kind of observing what happened from a movie perspective, without really any feelings about what was happening.

Yeah, kind of a strange but nice dream.

Yeah, I love aquariums to bad they are so much work. Maybe some day I'll get another one.

Yeah, it was cool. The dog was actually barking at somebody that showed up at the house. So it was really that persons fault. Oh well.

Yeah, It's been a while since I had a bear dream though. I was thinking about watching some bear shows.

Thanks, I was pretty surprised at all the dreams I remembered that night.
Not as much recall last night though.

fragment
I have a very vague memory of fighting with some giant golem type creature. I think I was a golem as well.

fire arms training
I'm taking a training course, on how to become a marksman. I have a rifle that looks like an AK 47, but it has a scope. It is actually just a b.b gun lol. The clip holds tons of b.b's. When I shoot things, there is a long delay before I hear this ding sound, from the b.b finally hitting the target. But it does not do any damage. The dream was just a lot of me practicing shooting at things.

Fragment
there was something about a cruise ship. I was just watching as it headed out on it's voyage. and people were waving to the shore, like in TITANIC.

church
I was at some really strange church, and this weird preacher arrived. I got into this really big verbal fight with the guy.

fraudulent surgeon
Somebody is telling me about a surgery they had payed a lot of money for. And the doctor turned out to be a fake. the guy really messed him up, and then took his money and disappeared.

Todays Wild attempt
Partially Lucid, I man appears before me dressed like a bellboy from a fancy hotel.
He bows in greeting, and calls me by some strange exotic name. I can't remember the name now. I was actually Lucid enough at that point to to think about the situation, and wonder at the strange name. The bellboy opens a door, and motions for me to enter. I enter a long corridor, and the walls, ceiling, and floor, are tinged by a strange flickering blue light. At this point I become fully Lucid, and the awareness wakes me up.

Hey again. I still got a ton more to read (on yours alone) but I just wanted to get some done while I'm on and before I go to bed. It sucks. I had a cold for a week and a half and then on Sunday night, I get the flu and pinkeye. I haven't been able to sleep very much and when I did, I surprisingly had some good recall. I didn't take notes though, because I didn't want to get out of bed.

that waterfall dream was cool. It makes me think that if I re-read my DJ routinely I'll be able to do something like that.

Haha. I had a dream that was just like that, some time ago. We were training to be marksmen, but using b.b. guns. I used to be on the air rifle team, though, back in high school, so it didn't seem all that crazy. Hehe.

Damn, the awareness woke you up? Do you mean you went 110% and realised that you were creating the "models","textures" and lighting around you? I used to do that, its irritating, you have to avoid being fully aware by being aware enough to realise that you have to not be too aware *takes deep breath*. Yeah. Anyways, nice (visually intence) WILD.

Darn that dream started out really good. Very strange atmosphere. Maybe if you WILD again you can finish it? Probably not, but the beginning was cool.

Hey I WILDed last night. I still need to write it in my journal.
