Yeah, I hate when I don't Get Lucid in those situations. But at least I'm thinking about it while in a dream. And, I know when I'm doing that, I am on the Verge of getting Lucid. So that makes me happy. It's even more frustrating when you work so hard at it, and you don't even think about it at all when your dreaming.

I've been trying to incorporate reality checks into my normal technique, for about a month now. Using my watch, and trying to breath through a pinched nose. But so far, it hasn't helped me any.

It happened to me again last night! somebody I was with started acting out of character. Singing and dancing. I said "wow I wonder if thats a dream sign?" But then I just laughed about it, and thats as far as that got.

Walking the dog
I'm at the park walking the dog. I decide to start running! (I did some running with the dog yesterday. And today also. And I dreamed about running on the first night!) I don't end up getting Lucid from it though. I just ran a little bit, then I started having problems with the leash. I stopped running, to make sure my dog didn't get loose. And her collar was loose around her neck also, and about to come off. ( thats happened to me before.) So I get that straightened out. we are now near a convenient store.As we walk by, I see a guy with a shaved head, and a goatee. he walks up to me, and asks me if I will do him a favor. I notice that he seems pretty young, and I now know what he will ask. He wants me to go into the store, and buy cigarettes for him. I tell him no, and I use the excuse, that I can't go into the store with my dog."How old is your dog," He asks."She just turned five this year." he then asks me, how old I think she is going to live to. "hopefully fourteen to sixteen." He just laughs and walks away. After he walks away. I get the idea, that in a round about way, he was threatening to kill my dog. as I am thinking about that, I wake up.

The buffet
I am at the buffet again. The same one as last time. I'm sitting at a table eating. I think I'm finished, but I then notice there are two burritos still on my plate. So I start eating them. They are not very warm anymore, but I don't really care. I get up to go and look for desert. I get an ice cream cone out of the cone dispenser. It seems really stale, and kind of mushy. I am like,"oh well." I look for the ice cream machine, but I can't find it. I ask somebody that works there, where the ice cream machine went. She can't find it either. But she has a whole bunch of twix candy bars! " Hold out your arms," she says. So I do, and she starts stacking candy bars into my arms, until I must have about forty of them! I carry them all back to my table. Then, the person I went to the buffet with comes walking up, and is singing and dancing. This is very out of character for this person, and I am Like "wow I wonder if thats a dreamsign!" I laugh to myself about it, and shrug it off.

Thanks, sorry I didn't write it in better detail. But, there was just so much to that dream. And a lot of it was hard to describe.

A past Lucid
Monday/January/8/2007
Lucid Dream # 3 of 2007

I am in an apartment building, and I'm being chased up the stairs by a mob of zombies. I make it to the next floor, and enter an apartment. I close the door, and struggle with the lock. But I do get it to lock, after a few moments of messing with it. I cross the room and push open the window. it's a long way down, but I crawl out anyway. I am easily able to climb down the side of the building. Strangely though, I'm still inside of an even larger building. That the apartment building itself was inside of. I seem to have effectively escaped the zombies, There are none to be seen now.
There is a room nearby, with a glass wall, and a sliding glass door. I slide the door open, and walk inside. I see a short flight of stairs, that's leading down to a corridor. I follow the stairs down, and start walking along the hall. Then, for no apparent reason, the realization that I'm dreaming washes over me. I am like" Oh wow this is a dream! I did it!" Everything is so perfectly real and vivid. I immediately stop and turn around. All I want to do now, is find my way outside and go flying. I remember passing a doorway that lead outside. So I walk back the way I came, and go back up the stairs.
The floor is cement, and I can even hear my footsteps echoing as I walk. when I get to the spot that the door was, things have changed and there is now no door. "Oh great!"
I am not really very surprised though. I'm not sure I will be able to find my way out now, but I think that I can. I get the feeling that I am under ground, and I need to go up and out. I am thinking, that I should try and alter the dream from where I am, instead of trying to find my way out. But I am just starting to get my Lucid legs back, and I don't think I have that kind of skill yet. I keep following corridors upwards. And I eventually come to a locked door. I reach out with my mind, and unlock the door and push it open.(no hands needed!) After walking through a few more corridors, and up a few more stairways, I find a way outside. I have to walk up one last flight of stairs. From my angle below, all I can see is the sky. I've been trying to hurry, because I don't know how much time I have left. As I start ascending the last stairway, I see this very beautiful girl come walking down the stairs. I am like WOW! look at her!:drool:
" Hey come here a minute," I say. She seems afraid of me. "All I want is a hug," I tell her. She walks over to me and puts her arms around me. She is shorter Than me, and I just look down into her eyes, and admire how beautiful she is. That lasts about ten seconds before I wake up.

I woke up happy about the dream, but frustrated that I didn't get to go flying.
I should have left the girl alone!:?

Thanks, some days my recall is very vivid and clear. other days, it's a struggle to bring them back.

Reading your dreams lately is like watching a little movie!

I think you ought to add sweets to your list of dream-signs. Like I already have.

Watch out for the pretty dream-girls...

Well, I've been trying to put as much detail as I can lately.

What you said in your journal was right! lately I've been trying to eat healthier. And I haven't had to much of anything really good. Now, suddenly I'm getting all these dreams about sweets.

Normally I do try to avoid the dream girls, because I learned early on that they usually end up making me wake up pretty quick. Though I've had a few encounters that lasted a while.

Thanks for replying, and welcom to the forum! :welcome:

Down hill ski race
Best dreamsign missed

Last night, I did a wake back to bed. Went back to sleep an hour before having to get up. And my subconscious put me in the perfect position to become Lucid!

I find myself at the top of a mountain ski slope, on skis. There are three other skiers there also. Two guys and a girl. We are about to race to the bottom. It's not a slalom race, but an all out speed race to the bottom. And we are all going to go down at the same time. there is a fence along the top of the slope, with many spectators standing behind it. I am near the fence, and talking with some of the spectators. suddenly somebody points out, that the race has started. I look back, and I see that the other skiers have already started down the slope. "They're going to need a head start on me anyway," I brag.

At first, the slope is not very steep at all. I have to push with the poles to move. I am pushing along hard, and I am already catching up to the others. Then, just as the slope starts to get steeper, I pass the other skiers, and I no longer have to push. and I immediately ski into deep powder. "Check out this powder!" I holler back to the
others. I'm skiing quite fast now, and I am aware that there is a lip coming up, that descends to an almost vertical drop. I crouch and lean forward, and will myself to go faster and faster. I'm going so fast now, it's just intense! I race off the edge of the lip, and the mountain begins to fall away beneath me. I'm leaning forward and flying down the side of the mountain! "Woooo hooooo," I scream, as I'm soaring down the side of the cliff. The intensity of the moment, and the exhilaration I'm feeling is beyond words.
I now notice, the the side of the cliff, is like a huge bowl shape. And I'm soaring towards another lip on the other side of the bowl, that I need to land on. Almost like a double jump, on a motocross track. I land perfectly on the other side, and ski the rest of the way to the finish line.

I look back, and here come the other skiers behind me. Now, we all have to walk back up a walking slope, along side the ski slope. we are walking along, and I can see what looks like a sprinkler sticking up from the snow. for some reason I decide to mess with it. When I touch it water starts spraying out, and I get soaked. We continue on up the mountain Surprisingly, it does not take long to get to the top. the skiers I am with, are actually friends of mine. And we all came to the race together. we have to walk over the mountain, to get to where are vehicle is parked. on the other side of the mountain, there is no more snow. We are walking along a trail, that is more like foothills than an actual mountain. It is so beautiful, the hills are covered in plush green grass, with rocky areas here and there. The tops of the hills,disappear into low laying fluffy clouds. I'm beating myself up, for ever moving away from the mountains. We eventually make it to the bottom, and to the city. Are vehicle is parked on the side of a road. The vehicle happens to be a large four person tandem bicycle.:rolllaugh:
I climb onto the front seat, and the others get on behind. I look around, and I see an apartment building. In the windows I see curtains tied back, and flower pots on the windowsills. I am jealous of the people that live in this amazing place, And I am wondering, if I would really want to quit the job I have now, to move here. Anyway I start peddling away. The strange thing is, is that we are moving very slowly. Like a couple of inches a minute. I am thinking that something is really off here. How are we going to get home at this rate. I'm contemplating this, and struggling to peddle, when I wake up.

Comments
This dream was so awsome! I'm really surprised that I didn't get Lucid during it. But it was so fun I don't really care. But the flying part would have lasted a lot longer if I
had.
I had a lot more dreams but I'm to tired to write them all. Didn't take a nap today.:yawnorama:
I'm going to sleep early, try and do some more wake back to beds. Hope it works. normally, when I start trying to skip naps. So I can get to sleep earlier, and have longer REM periods. I just end up losing my recall. But I'm going to try it again.

I had a very disturbing dream early in the night. I was in the hospital with my dad during his final hours.

Caradon, EXCELLENT dream!!!

Wonderful details and great description.. I felt like I was flying down the slopes with you!

This non-lucid dreams was better than some of my lucid dreams! ;)

I concur with Clairity! That was fun to read!

Thanks guys, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wasn't sure I could get the experience across well enough.

As always, deciding to skip my nap, turned out to be a mistake.Recall wasn't nearly as good. I remember a lot of dreams, just not very well. nothing as fun as last night either.

Parachuting
I took a nap when I came home today, and had this dream. I'm a little confused as to what happened during it.

I wasn't actually parachuting. I was photographing somebody who was. I'm having a hard time recalling the part where I was taking the pictures. I'm not sure what was actually going on there. But I was showing the pictures to the guy who was parachuting, and the pictures become more like a video. We both watch, as he dives off of a building head first. Then, before hitting the ground, he curves upwards and starts flying into the sky. He then pulls the cord, and parachutes down to the ground.
He lands in a graveyard, and there is something about a tomb with snakes all over.
Like in the movie Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

Burglar
I'm in an apartment, and there is a storm outside.I notice something is wrong with one of the windows. I realize somebody had broken in. I look around, and I can see that some of my stuff is missing. I go to the office and talk to the land lady about it. She tells me, that somebody has been breaking into a lot of the apartments. But they had recently caught the person.

Wild horses
Second time this week dreaming about horses. I didn't get around to writing the last one.

I'm on a woodsy trail near a lake. I'm walking the dog, but the dog becomes A human child. after a little bit of walking, two horses come walking down the trail toward us.
I climb onto one, and I pull the child up behind me. The horse doesn't mind. It seems friendly,even though it's wild. We ride down the trail for a while, before I wake up.

That was the best recalled dream of the night.

Discussing Lucid dreaming
I'm sitting in a room with an old friend talking about Lucid Dreaming. I don't remember the details to well. Be we were talking about different mental focusing methods.

Pet store
I just remembered this one.
I used to have a big aquarium, with three Oscars. when they were little, I would hold a piece of food ever the tank in my fingers. And they would jump out of the water and take it. It was pretty cool. But they started getting bigger, and could jump higher. One day, I walked up to the tank with some food. And one of them jumped out of the tank onto the floor! So I stopped doing that.

Anyway, I was dreaming that I was in the pet store. I was feeding some fish, and I was trying to get them to jump for the food.

When I had my aquarium, I used to always dream about the Oscars swimming out of the tank and through the air.

A couple of other fragments
I was at a movie theater watching the new Simpson's movie. (haven't seen it yet, probably rent it)

I was talking to an old girlfriend on the phone.

Talking to mom on phone. phone goes silent I suddenly think she had died on the phone. so I'm about to go find out.

That's about it.

:(

I actually had a continuation of that dream last night. Which is strange, because I've never had a dream continue on the second night before.
But I've had a lot of dreams that continue on during the same night. It's usually the really intense ones that do that.

I don't think I'm going to post it though, because it was pretty depressing. And I don't want to make my journal a depressing place.

The twins
I'm at the park, and I'm watching some people playing baseball. I notice that A few of the players are from the Minnesota twins. Before I wake up, there is some strange stuff about them growing into giants. They grow to about fifty feet tall.

Remote control
I was outside, playing with this cool remote control off road truck. It was just a fun dream. the truck was really fast, and I was racing it all over, doing spin outs and stuff.
I had really good control of it.

Camping
I'm camping somewhere. I have the dog with me, and we go for a walk. I try to tie my shoes, but the laces are cover in stickers/burs. Also I have cigarettes and I am smoking.


I am sitting in a room with some girl. I have some strange psychic knowledge about her life. I am telling her about something thats really important for her to know (I don't remember what it was.) But we are sitting there discussing it, and both of us are freaking out about the whole thing. And smoking cigarettes!

Comments
A little frustrated, I really want to get at least one more Lucid in, by the end of the month. But times running out. I had such a good start to this month, that I thought I would get more. But over all, it's been a pretty good month though. Five Lucids and a lot of really close calls. Got to turn those close calls into Lucids!

Well when I was dreaming that I was talking to a friend, he said something kind of obscure but I somehow knew what he meant. After all, he is in MY mind.

Aha! Smoking again!

I do that too--oh my god you just made me remember a dream that I forgot from last night! Thanks!:bowdown: (off to my journal....!)

Yeah, I was creating the whole thing, even her life. so thats why I guess I knew about it. I just didn't know it at the time. I'm sure she was just playing along with whatever I believed.:)

Hot air balloons
I'm walking the dog, and I come across this wide open field. In the field, there is a fleet of hot air balloons. They are anchored to the ground by ropes, that are staked into the earth. They are all different colors, and there are a lot of people working to get ready for a flight. Some people that are preparing a near by balloon, wave my over to them. "Would you like to fly in our balloon with us," one of them asks. " No way!" I say. "Those things are dangerous, There's no way to control them, your just at the mercy of the wind." Then I continue,"Now if you guys had hang gliders, that's something I would try." Thats all I really remember about it.
My subconscious, trying to help me get Lucid again. If only I would have got on the dang balloon!

I also had a vivid dream about trying to survive a freezing night in the wilderness.
Kind of hard to describe it though. There was some strange stuff going on.

Lucid Last night!:boogie:
I'll write it later, off to work.
