Hi John, Thanks for reading.

You couldn't breath both times when your tried it?

I've been using it for about a year to a year and a half now. And it's always been very reliable up until this dream. I think it was a result of doing so many of them, and doing it too quickly. Lately when I do them I've been holding my nose longer, and trying to inhale really hard. I think that will help solve it, I hope.

More bears. At least you almost figured it out. It sounds like you were really committed to fooling yourself in that one.

Hi Robot.

Yeah, I'm pretty good at fooling myself. Good news though, I saw a bear in a dream last night and remembered to RC, and the RC worked this time.

The bad news is that I didn't believe the RC right away, and before I could completely prove it was a dream, I got distracted by the events, and forgot about reality checking again.

I'm pretty happy anyway though, I'm finally recognizing bears as dreamsigns. That's three times in the last couple of weeks.

Last night I watched the movie "The Strangers" just before going to sleep. Kind of a freaky movie, But they dragged out the cat and mouse game a little too long. I guess it gave me a good scare though, because I had the most intense night of scary dreams That I've had in a long time. It did way more for my dreams than any apple juice.

The strangers
The first dream I remember was themed from the movie. It was during the first hour of sleep and I don't remember a lot of it. But I remember the feeling of fear, very distinctly.

I'm in a house, it's dark, and I'm in bed. There are people with masks outside banging on the doors and windows of the house, I'm so scared I don't want to even move. I just lay there frozen for a long time. I eventually hide in this walk in closet. I begin to hear foot steps coming closer and closer.

I wake and use the bathroom. The fear from that last dream somehow carried over into the next dream. I don't know how, but it somehow triggered the longest chain of zombie adventure dreaming I've had since the first time I watched "Dawn Of The Dead" as a kid. It was pretty damn scary though, all through the rest of the night.

Zombies Zombies and more Zombies
Not going to be able to describe it very well, because it's pretty disjointed from waking up so many times, and I really don't know what was going on most of the time.
as far as story line.


The first thing I remember is being in some outdoor setting, near the ocean. Corpses begin rising from the ground, all around me. They don't look like normal zombies. They look more like the things from the movie "LEGEND" only they are pale and ghostly.
There are many, many of them. I'm surrounded, they are grabbing and pulling at me. there are too many, there is no escape. I struggle to get away, but I know I'm doomed.

I then see one fall, then another, and another. Arrows are impaling their skulls. I then realize it's the teacher from the movie. "Diary Of The Dead." He has shown up in the nick of time with his bow and arrow. Enough of the zombies that are grabbing at me fall, so that I am able to break free.

Scene shift, I'm on some yacht with a group of people a little ways out on the ocean. There is something about killer piranha surrounding and attacking the yacht.

I wake here, use the bathroom again, take a few notes in my journal, and reset my alarm clock. Even after doing all that, I reenter the dream as soon as I close my eyes.

I'm with the group of people, and we are now on open land running for a car. We make it to the car, and drive. We find this large building. It's a cross between a warehouse factory type thing, and an apartment building. We make our way to the top floor. I look out the window, and a massive army of living dead are stumbling towards our building. They just keep coming and coming because they know we are there.

Then I see something that looks like an alien. you know, the pale, big eyes, spindly arms and legs kind of aliens. I point it out to the people I'm with, I say "look, it's an alien zombie!" The thing is actually flying. Then it hits our building attacking one of the windows trying to get in. We all run to the window, I get there first and I'm somehow able to dislodge it. It falls headfirst for what seems like a long long ways. It breaks it's neck when it hits the ground.

next, there is a lot of stuff about trying to figure out how we are going to survive up here. What we are going to eat and whatever. I wake up and reenter the dream several times. Eventually the rest of the group is gone for some reason, except for one person. there isn't much action for a long time. there is a record player, and we are playing music, and just trying to make the time pass.

Eventually I go into a bedroom. For some reason this room is at ground level. I notice the windows are open. I suddenly get worried. I don't see any zombies there, so I go to close the windows. But I'm afraid that zombies will notice me at the window, and start attacking. I can't even get the windows to close. I give up and leave the room. I tell the other person that is there that we may have a fight on our hands soon.

I look back in the room, and sure enough, there are zombies swarming the windows trying to get in. they are all reaching their arms through. I grab a big knife and begin trying to cut off the arms that are reaching in. I cut half way through one arm, but can't get the blade to go through. I look around for something else, and I see my chainsaw.
a little relieved to find something that can do some real damage. I pick it up and start pulling the cord. It won't start though. Shit a remember now that I don't have any gas in it.

I don't know why, but I leave the room. I go into the hall of the building, and look down a winding staircase. I can hear banging and stuff down there, from zombies trying to get in I guess.

I must have woke up here again, because the next thing I remember is being out on some balcony. I can see some people a ways off. They have a fenced in enclosure, like a big yard. They are planting vegetables, making a garden. I guess trying to grow food to survive. I call out to them, letting them know there are some living people near by. They wave back, but I can tell they are foreign and don't know English. There is some more crazy action. there are some bad, living people, in cars racing around below. But I realize they won't bother me because they just want to try and get away from here.

Things progress and there are more and more living people around. I end up back out on the balcony with this long sheet that I use as a rope. I tie it off, and throw it over the side. I'm not sure why I want to get down there exactly. I know in part, I want to try and thin out some of the zombie numbers. I have my machete and I climb down the sheet, dropping to the ground.

I use my machete like a sword, and I'm hacking zombies like crazy and I fight my way down an alley. the zombies all turn to follow me. I enter some side door of another building. I see a bunch of zombies climbing a staircase. i tear into the nearest one, impaling it. When I suddenly realize that these are not zombies but living people.
I had just killed someone. This is some kind of refugee station, and living people are flocking here.

The rest of the dream is really choppy, I don't remember it very well. I kept waking up. Eventually my alarm clock started going off, and I was hitting snooze. but I still kept entering it every time. One of the last things I remember before getting up. is being in the building again, and looking down at a mob of zombies, and I see a mountain lion w among them, trying to get in. And I think," Well that makes sense, if I'm going to be attacked all night long, there may as well be wild animals involved too. then I wake for the last time.

The whole zombie thing, was three to four hours long.

I had a ton more recall in my nap. way too much to write.

Hi kamikazi. I just noticed your post. Thanks for reading.

Well, when I was younger I would have dreams continue throughout the entire night a lot more often than I do now. But It still happens now and then. I think it just depends on the intensity of the dream. It's always the really crazy adventure dreams that end up continuing like that.

I get plenty of boring dreams too. But sometimes I get some pretty off the wall shit. There are some pretty crazy dreams in this journal.

WILD attempts
Sunday/February/1/2009

There were several Sunday night, but this one stands out. I don't remember the others very well.

A door appears in my mind. I know that the dream world exists on the other side. I reach for the door and pull it open. It swings inward. But as it's opening it slowly begins to disintegrate into nothing. As it comes completely open and I try to step through, the dream fades to black.

Monday/February/2/2009

I have a hard time clearing my mind, it's not working well. So on a whim I decide to visualize that I'm holding my power ball ticket in my hand and looking at it. This begins to work, I can feel my body becoming more and more relaxed. I begin to lose Lucidity, but there is suddenly a lot of people around me. I'm standing in a corridor holding up my power ball ticket. There are people moving all around me.
I begin to become Lucid here. I think, wait a minute. All these people are a dreamsign I know I'm all alone. I become fully Lucid and the dream fades to black.
But I slide right back into it still completely Lucid. I'm back in the same spot.( This is actually a scene from a really stupid horror movie I watched the other day. Boogieman 3) The corridor I'm standing in is from a collage dormitory. There is a kid in a red shirt moving around in front of me. And there is a shadow off to the side. The shadow is an evil entity, and it's creeping closer towards me. I think about all the weird things I hear about other peoples WILDing. Like old hag and what not.
I know this isn't anything like that though. It's just a movie influenced dream scene.
The shadow stretches as it reaches out for me. I'm not afraid at all, only fascinated.

I think I fade in and out of the scene a couple of times. And the shadow creature is there each time, creeping up on me.

After that I give up and roll over. It's getting late and I just want to fall asleep. I tried some early morning ones, but kept falling asleep too fast.

Hey how come you have two lucid dream journals?

Also, that's a bummer about the nose RC failing. Man, that's the only test I can rely on now because my dreams have become so vivid and realistic. If it ever fails me I won't stand a chance of becoming lucid Could you just not breathe at all like in RL?

I know, my dreams are the same way. They are actually way more vivid and realistic than real life.

Actually despite, the name of this journal. This is my everything journal. when I first joined the site I intended to just post my Lucids. But I started posting all of my dreams here. Once it started to get too deep, I decide to make another thread to put all my Lucids in so that I could find them easier. I was thinking about asking a mod to change the name of this one to just plain Caradon's Journal. I just have not done it yet. I explained it in my intrduction of my Lucid dream journal.

Yes that sucked when the nose RC started to fail on me. It really messed me up. I was getting Lucid nearly every night before that happened. It really threw me off. I have not fully recovered yet. I got so upset that I stopped putting a lot of work into it for a while.

I only believe the nose RC about half the time anyway. It's good to have back up RC's to double make sure. I have had a lot of success with pushing my finger through my hand. And I have been trying to use my watch more often too. Also, I've been focusing more on using my awareness to get me Lucid as well. Like I used to. I Lucid Dreamed for a lot of years with out using any RC's at all. I didn't like them, until I found out about the nose one. It's a great RC but it can be tricky sometimes.

Bad night of insomnia last night.
Did not get much sleep at all.

Not much for WILDing I just got a few voices saying random words. And a couple of none Lucid dream entries.
I think I did a little bit of WILDing into my nap, but I can't remember it.

I did really well today with my awareness, though. I was able stay aware for almost every moment of my day. Even during most of the conversations I had with people. And when my mind did wander I was able to remember to follow my own thoughts backwards to see if there was anything dream like about anything I was thinking about.

As a result of my intense focus I was able to recall some nap dreams. which I have not been able to do for a while. If I can maintain the kind of focus I had today, I should be able to get a lot of countable Lucids going again.

Man I'm so gutted to hear that about the nose RC. My biggest fear has been that it will somehow fail me one night. I figured it was simply impossible for the brain to simulate not being able to breathe in a dream. Guess I was wrong What a bugger. I'm madly working on back-up RCs because my dreams are just so realistic that if I don't have a decent back up test I won't stand a snowball's chance in hell of becoming lucid. Currently when I become lucid through DILD it is the most massive surprise to me to find I can breathe.

I know even the finger through palm test won't work for me. My brain is just way too good at simulation. It's going to be so hard to find a fail-safe test. Can you let me know if you ever find a RC that is as good as the nose pinch check? I tested a few last time I got lucid but nothing really stood out. I have a few more ideas to test next time I'm lucid though.

Will keep my journal updated and PM you if I have any luck

If it makes you feel any better, the nose RC hasn't failed me since I made my post here before. It seems to be the only one that works for me anymore too.

I don't think you have to worry about it too much. I think that only happened to me because of doing way too many RC's too quickly. Because like you say, my brain is also way to good at simulation.
I was doing so many nose RC's that my Brain finally manged to perfectly imitate the same effect it had in real life. But that only happened in two dreams.

Also, the next time you get Lucid I think you should try the finger through palm and see how it works. In my opinion the only reason it would ever fail is because of giving up too easy.(like I have done a couple of times.) Most times when I use it, I'm already pretty sure it's a dream and just want an extra confirmation. I never do that one when awake. What you have to do is push your finger into your hand, and keep the pressure on. It may not want to go in right away. But if you keep pushing real hard, and even twist a little if you have to. It will slowly start to sink in. The trick is to not give up. And it's pretty fun. In one of my most recent Lucids I pushed my entire arm through a wall the same way. It was cool. it's in my other journal.

The Watch RC has worked both times I actually remembered to do it in a dream. The hard part for me is just remembering it. It was pretty fascinating. Every time I looked away and looked back the numbers changed. Another thing I've done a lot, is to jump into the air and see if I can catch myself in the air with my mind, Using TK. You shouldn't try to convince yourself that you will never get Lucid without the RC. Because no matter how realistic dreams can be. You can still do it even with no RC's at all. Many of my most recent Lucids have been spontaneous ones, because of trying to focus more intently on my awareness.

Hi John. It's good to hear it's been working for you. It's been working for me too, for the most part. I've had a couple times recently when my real nose was stuffed up a little, Making it difficult. But I still got Lucid anyway.

I see you got to hug Clairity. Congratulations. I'm jealous.

Well I didn't do quite as well today with staying aware. But I still did pretty good. considering how tired I was. Last night I just stayed up way too late and didn't get much more sleep than the night before. I got distracted and lost focus a few times during the day.

WILD attempts
Wednesday/February/4/2009

I didn't have much time to try WILDing on my back, so I just layed on my side and hoped to get something before I fell asleep.

I see a scene from my work. And for a moment I'm not sure if I'm actually seeing it, or just visualizing it. But I'm somehow able to lock onto the image, and it gets very clear and solid. There is a little girl there now, standing right in front of me. I'm not sure where she came from. probably from off to my side, like most WILDing DC's do.
she is wearing a light colored dress. and she is holding a little brown teddy bear. I then get that feeling of three dimensional expansion. It's kind of hard to describe, but the scene really expands and I get a weird sucking sensation, like I'm getting pulled into it.
Then the little girl turns her head, and looks in the direction of the dream that had just opened up. Then I slide back.

Into my nap
I was laying on my back, and my mind wasn't really cleared. I was thinking about how I need to get a new computer security soon, because mine is going to be expired soon. I was so tired that I started falling asleep anyway. My thoughts created a dream scene. I wasn't Lucid right away But I became Lucid pretty quick after entering it.

I was in a room and the security thing I was thinking about, became a book on a table.
I pick up the book and hold in in my hand. Just looking at it and turning it over for a minute before sliding back.

Then I turn over on my side and still try and see if I can WILD.
I feel that expanding sensation again, and I suddenly find myself with a perspective of looking across the floor of the room, as if I was laying on my side on the floor.
The image startles me and wakes me up.

I've been thinking about recording more none Lucids here again. Maybe not all of them in a lot of detail, because I need to make it fast. Maybe not every night, or every dream either. We'll see how it goes. And how my wrist holds up. It's kind of off and on.

Not much recall last night.

Walking Dog
I'm in a child hood neighborhood walking the dog.(An odd location for this dream to take place.) She gets off her leash and runs out into the street. I get scared she will get hit by a car. I call her to come back to me and she does.

Speeding cop
This is the only thing I remember from my nap. I was so tired that I fell asleep on my back, and stayed that way for four hours.

I'm not sure why, but I'm in the back seat of a police car. I know I wasn't arrested, or in trouble in any way. They were giving me a ride some place. I'm not even sure where, maybe taking me home. the cop gets on the highway, and there are slow drivers on the road in front of him. He gets annoyed that people are driving so slow,a nd switches lanes to pass. He doesn't just pass though, he floors it, and starts driving way fast. Pretty soon we are just flying down the highway so fast. Swerving between cars, just barely avoiding disaster. It was insane.

Scene shifts. I'm watching another cop on foot. he has a hand held radio. He can see the racing cop car. He makes a comment on his crazy driving, and asks how he is supposed to keep up. The cop starts running really fast. He now has super human speed, and is jumping over many obstacles as he tries to make it to some location to meet the speeding cop car.

Kind of a disappointing night. Not a lot of recall.

Tired

I have a false awakening. I get up, but I'm so tired. I sit down in a chair and close my eyes. I begin to get some weird HI. I'm actually beginning to WILD while sitting up. Unfortunately, I decide that I don't want to fall asleep like this, and get up. I walk into another room. and wake up.

Zombies at the door
this was actually a dream from my nap.

The first thing I remember is entering my old apartment building. I'm aware of some uncontrollable ability I have to cause any buried dead around me to come to life and rise from the earth. In the hall of the apartment there is quite a few people, doing various things. I don't remember exactly. I find my apartment door and unlock it. My apartment has a large glass sliding door, to a patio. Outside, I can see that the dead have begun to rise from the earth. They are being drawn to me. Gradually, one by one, they are making their way to my glass door. I think about opening the door to let them in, so I can kill them off before there gets to be too many of them. But I realize that there is already to many of them for me to handle.

So, I go back out into the hall and tell the other people in the building about the situation. And let them know that I may need some help fighting zombies soon.
The people follow me back to my apartment to see what I'm talking about. Now there are tons of zombies packed up against the glass sliding door. My dog is there now. She has her nose right up against the glass and is barking at the zombies. One zombie in particular catches my attention. It's that odd looking bald guy from the original The Hills Have Eyes movie. I have a brief discussion about this guy with a DC before waking.

My Guitar

I'm at some house. I don't remember where it is, or what I was previously doing. But I have my Guitar and amp set up. There is another guitar player there, and he is going on and on about how we are going to get a band going. I find this kind of humorous, because it's the same old, same old talk. I've heard it all before, over and over again. and I don't really care. I notice that this person has taken my guitar off it's stand and put it in the case. I kind of freak out, because I don't want anybody touching my precious, and expensive, Jackson. I take it out of the case, and I see what looks like scratches all over it. But on closer examination, I see that they are just dirt smudges.
I try to wipe it clean before plugging into my amp. But as I get ready to play it, I realize that it has several broken strings. I work at trying to put some new strings on it, but I am having difficulty. The strings are too short to reach all the way across the fret board, from the bridge to the keys.

McDonald's

I'm at McDonald's ordering some burgers. I order them without cheese. Then get confused, because I want cheese. I have to have cheese on my burgers. There is something that I don't want on them, but I can't think of what it is now. I give up trying to figure it out, and just get my burgers with everything. I sit down at a table. At a table near by is a group of people. For some reason they are angry with me. One guy approaches me and asks why I disrespected them. I apologizes and tell him that it wasn't intentional. he then seems to accept my apology, and invites me to smoke some pot and cigarettes with them. I tell him that I quit smoking, but I will have one occasionally. So I take one of the cigarettes.

Some WILDing stuff
Early this morning I had some brief HI, of the random doorway into the dreamworld appearing in my mind again. The door appeared twice in a row.

And WILDing into my nap there was a lot of Lucid HI of images from the Friday The 13th movie, I saw today. I was having a hard time falling asleep because I kept thinking about the movie. I had a short little none Lucid dream entry. It was night. there were a lot of cars parked around large fire. People were partying. Jason has a bow and arrow, and fires an arrow at one of the cars. When the arrow hits, the car explodes and flys high into the air. then crashes back to the ground.

Mud bog creature
Partial Lucidity

I don't remember the first part very well, but it started with collecting some long cut tree branches. The branches were kind of hanging loose off the tree,a nd I was pulling them down and piling them up.

Now, some of the land around me has turned onto this muddy bog. I'm standing on this thin strip of mushy land, that's surrounded by dark muddy water. I start to think about the strip of land I'm standing on, turning to mud, and sucking me in. I take a few steps to reach a little more solid ground. But the land does turn to mud and I sink to in to my knees. I have partial Lucidity here, because I'm aware that my thoughts had just made this happen.

I make it to more solid ground. My brother is there, and I tell him about how my thoughts turned the ground to mud. He goes to check out what I mean.
He falls into the water and disappears below the surface. I lay down on the edge of the water, and reach in with my arm. I fish around for him until my hand grabs onto him, then I pull him out.

Now, there is no land at all, and I'm trying to swim in dark muddy water. I see this huge aquatic dinosaur looking creature break the surface. Diving through the water like a whale. I'm Surprised to see, that on it's back is a saddle. I'm aware that I have somehow created this saddle on this creature. I somehow manage to climb onto the creature and get on the saddle, and start to ride the creature away. and I wake up.


Siege of the desert fortress
Telekinesis dreamsign recognized

I'm watching like a movie, a scene like a cross between Dune and Star Wars.
There is an invading army laying siege to this fortress, in a desert location. There are flying ships with flat tops carrying soldiers. There are also troops on the ground. I remember the commander of the invading force, talking about something that had to do with the plans of his superiors. But I don't remember the exact words.

The gates of the fortress open, and out marches a group of defenders. they are wearing some outrageous looking bright red armor. In the blink of an eye, one of these red armored defenders appears on one of the flat topped ships. he moved so fast, it was almost as if he teleported. He then proceeds to take out every soldier on the ship withing a matter of seconds. His speed and fighting skill are super human.

Scene shifts.

I'm now in a room with several beds. I'm on one of the beds, and there is a girl in one of the beds near by. I'm not sure exactly what was going on here, but there were other people in the room too. like doctors, or scientists, or something. There are tables with food on them. I see a box of cookies on a table that I can not reach. I hold out my hand, and pretend like I'm using the force. I reach out with my mind, and try to use telekinesis, like I would in a dream. With much straining, I am able to levitate the box of cookies off the table, making it hover in the air.

Surprised, I lose concentration and the cookies drop back to the table. " Oh my god! did you see that?" I say to the nearby girl. She saw what I did, and is surprised too. I now try something a little more ambitious. I concentrate as hard a s I can. With much hard work, I am able to levitate the girl about a foot above the bed, and hold her there for a few moments. Then set her back down. I see a plate of chicken on a table. I use TK to lift a chicken leg into the air, and pull it to me. I grab it and take a bite out of it.
" This is so cool!" I say." I will never have to get up to get anything ever again!"

I'm aware that this is a dream skill. And I think it's so cool that I can now do it for real. But I decide I had better do an RC to check, just in case. I pinch my nose and it doesn't feel right. It feels like I may be able to breath through it. Thinking it may be a dream after all. I'm disappointed, and quickly let go before I can prove it's not real. I don't want this to be a dream. That's the last thing I remember before waking up.

Skiing on feet

I'm walking down the road near my house. There is a high hill covered in snow. I can see ski tracks on it. it's really not all the high for skiing, but somebody was doing it anyway. I see some kids sledding down it, and sliding down, and out into the road.
At some point I step out into the road. The road is covered with ice. I start running, then do a little jump, land on my feet and, start skiing. The road gets steeper, and steeper. I catch a little bit of air, and fly several feet before landing, and continuing my descent down the icy road. This is so fun, I need no skis nor skates. I make it to the bottom and circle around, continuing to ski/skate. I jump over a of mound of snow trying to make my way back to the top and do it again. I wake.

Later, there was also a dream where I was on a moto cross track with my dirt bike.
There were these big jumps I was getting ready to take. But never did before waking up. Lots of opportunities for Lucidity last night. There were more dreams that I didn't recall quite as well. Not much for WILDing. There was some none Lucid dream entry with a tiger involved. It didn't attack. It lay down in the grass and started purring.

I recorded a fun dream from last night. But I hit my Firefox spell checker by mistake. which for some odd reason will not work in Either of my DV journals.

(So f***ing annoying!)

It will work on every other thread. The post got really messed up. I was stuck with a bunch of red and green words, and I didn't feel like trying to fix it. So, I just canceled the post.

Not much recall yesterday. I blame being sick for that. But I'm feeling better today. It's time to start getting serious about dreaming again. A little bit better recall last night. But nothing real interesting.

Cabin
I'm at the cabin. The cabin is more like a farm, though, with lots of buildings. There are also lots of family members there. I can't remember who they all were, but I know my step brother was there. We were all living there, but we were packing up a big RV, our bus. Getting ready to move. There was a lot of packing and getting stuff together. I can't remember most of that very well. I remember finding a rifle. I don't know why, bur before leaving we wanted to play a joke on the fire department, and call in a fire before taking off. So I ended up calling them and saying the place was om fire.

But before we can take off, I can hear sirens coming down the road. a bunch of fire trucks pull up. Fire men jump out of there trucks, and they go running through all the buildings looking for a fire. They realize that there isn't any fire. They question me, asking Why I called them for no reason. I feel really bad and embarrassed about calling them. I tell them that I heard somebody yell fire, and thought there was one, so called. But the excuse seems pretty lame.

Work, Pie, and book store.
I'm at work. I don't remember much about this part. But some people were getting on my nerves. I remember leaving work, walking a cross a parking lot. And somehow ending up at a restaurant/bookstore. I'm sitting at a table eating A French silk pie. It tastes very good. The thing that stands out the most about it, is that it was very cold, like ice cream. But it was soft and delicious. Sometime after eating the pie, I end up talking to some woman that works at the book shop.
She asks me if I can name all of the Necroscope books. I tell her the names of about the first five books, I couldn't remember more than that. There was also something about going to buy some cigarettes.

Later, there was some more barely remembered work dreams.

Recall is much improving. But still not remembering in a way that's easily describable. Some really weird stuff last night too. Yesterday I was unable to record dreams, because of working a ridiculously long shift.

Brief moment of Lucidity
I had a few cardboard boxes on the floor, and was trying to clean them up. I had one in my hand and was trying to unfold the bottom to flatten it out. I was having difficulty. Every time I would get one flap unfolded, it would end up back in it's original shape. I realize that this must be happening because I'm dreaming. I'm already pretty sure that I'm dreaming, but I decide to look at the floor and see if there is the same number of boxes as there was a moment ago. I'm expecting there to be more than there was. But as I look to the floor I wake up.

I know there was one other short moment of Lucidity as well, but I can't remember what happened now.

War of the lycans
I had a dream within a dream. I can't remember a lot of detail about the in dream, dream. But it had to do with these werewolf people from a parallel world. The people/creatures, looked all odd and colorful. Like from the Hell Boy movies. Their world had been taken over by some other type of beings. The lycans were forced out of their world, and into the world of humans. I remember an image of a gathering force of colorful lycans, getting ready for an invasion back into their world. Just then I wake up, but it's an FA. I'm in a large room, and I'm very moved by this dream I had just had.

On one side of this room I'm in, there is this small house looking thing. with an opening in the front. Sort of like a very large dog house. Inside is a large turtle creature, with a long green neck. I know that it is one of these lycans. In the FA, I think that what I had just dreamed, was real I guess. I sit down by the opening of this turtle house. and the turtle moves it's green head out by the opening. I have a long conversation with this turtle. Telling it all about the dream I had just had, and about how moved I was by the lycans story.

I eventually go back to a room, that is my bedroom. I'm determined to help these lycans in their war. I'm filled with energy, and agility. I begin practicing moves running around the room balancing on things, and doing back flips off furniture. I do back flips off the end of the bed, and land perfectly on the dresser. I do this one stunt several times. I'm thinking that I may want one of the lycans to bite me, so that I can become one of them.

There is a large window. And outside, I see some people from a movie I watched last night. But then somehow they end up in the room with me. There is some showing off, doing tricks, and conversing, before I wake up.

That's all I feel like trying to describe from last night at the moment.

Partial Lucidity
I'm driving my car. I have some bags of garbage, and I'm looking for a dumpster to throw them in. I find one, get rid of the trash, and get back into the car. I try to put the car back into drive, but there is something wrong with the shifter. It's all loose, and it won't switch the gears when I move it. I realize the shifter is stripped out or something. I struggle with it for some time, and eventually manage to get the car back into drive, and drive off.

Next thing I remember, I'm in what looks like a fast food restaurant. There is this weird music machine on the wall. The machine is designed to look like somebodies face. I see this nerdy looking guy enter the restaurant. He has this strange contraption attached to his head. It looks like some kind of multi use tool. I notice that the nerd guy is the person that the music machine is made to look like.

Now, I become the nerd guy, and I'm walking up to the music machine. I start changing the machine. Just with my own thoughts. I hold both my hands up near it, and I mentally force it to change shape, and become something else. I feel like a sculptor.
I alter the machine until it has these spinning fan blades. And even as the blades are whirling, I am able to force them to change their shape until they look the way I want them too.

I now remember that I also know how to use TK. I rip a chuck of white plastic off the machine with my hand. I throw it into the air, and it's sent flying across the room by the wind created by the fan blades. The chuck of plastic hits the wall on the far side of the room, and I use TK to pull the plastic piece back to my hand, against the force of the wind. I do this several times before waking up.

For a moment after waking, I thought I had just had a Lucid. But I don't think I actually was. At least not completely.


Roller Blading at the park
I'm at the nature preserve near my house. It looks just like the actual place. I'm roller blading on the paved trails. I had just come down a hill and am now on a flat part of the trail. There are some other roller bladers ahead of me, that had just came from a side trail. I can't slow down, and I run into them. They a knocked aside as I pass them. once past them I am able to slow down. I apologize for running into them. Then I skate with them down the trail a ways. They want to turn left down another trail that has lots of curvy hills. (Still just like the real park.) I tell them that I will go with them. the man says. " Most people don't like to skate down those hills." I tell him that going down doesn't bother me. I just don't like going up.

We make it to the top of the first hill. But now, the hill is no longer a park trail. We are now at the top of the first hill of a roller coaster track! The track curves down very steeply, and their is a huge jump set in the middle of the track. I see the place where you are supposed to land, a long ways off. I have a false memory here. I remember riding my dirt bike here, and going off that jump with my dirt bike. I tell the people stories about when I went riding here before.

I wake up before I ever get to take the jump with my roller blades. Too bad, almost guaranteed Lucidity there.


Giant spiders and cooking
I'm in my house. There are two big black spiders about the size of basket balls crawling around on the floor. I'm trying to kill them by stomping on them. But, being so big, I know they will have a lot of guts. I'm grossed out by the idea of their guts splattering when I stomp on them. So, I keep half heartedly stepping on them, hoping to kill them with out completely squashing them. It's not working very well, but I eventually manage to kill them by stomping their heads off.

Next thing I know, I'm at S's apartment from work. I don't remember driving there. but in the dream, I know that I did. She is hurriedly moving around the kitchen making breakfast. I tell her all about the giant spiders I had in my house. While telling her about it, I decide to help her out, and start cooking the eggs. I scramble a bunch of eggs up and pour them into the pan. As they cook, I am stirring them with a rubber spatula. I keep spilling the eggs over the side of the pan by mistake. I keep think, that I'm wasting the eggs, but every time, there are magically more eggs in the pan. I know this is odd, but I don't think to RC. The egg cooking, and talking with S goes on for a while before I wake up.

Not very good recall last night. Probably because I didn't take a nap during the day. I just remember one dream really well. The rest is just a bunch of undecipherable fragments.

Paranormal investigators
WTF?

I'm living in an apartment that is not like anyplace that I ever lived for real. Two women come to the door, and I let them in. They are both female, very nice looking. One blond, one brunette. They tell me that they are Paranormal investigators, and have come to investigate activity in the building. They have a bunch of electronic equipment, and go into the kitchen, setting up.

While they are doing their thing in the kitchen, I make a phone call to an old friend I have not talked to in a long, long, time. Chris. Not much is said, and there is a moment of uncomfortable silence. I then say, "well, I'm going to bed. I just thought I would call and say what's up? first." I hang up and go into the other room. I decide to take a shower before going to sleep. The shower is actually in the bedroom. The shower head comes out of the wall above the bed, and there is no shower curtain.

I get naked and step up on to the bed, turning the water on. Just then I notice that the door isn't quite closed. I reach over and try to close it. I can reach it from the shower bed. But when I close it, it keeps popping open.

Just then the brunette comes by the door. She starts to help with getting the door closed. But suddenly the door is wide open, and I'm standing there naked in front of her. I try to cover myself with my hands. She giggles at my attempts to cover myself up. Feeling stupid, I decide that if she doesn't care, I really don't either. So I quit trying to cover myself.

The girl comes into the room. She is walking around doing I don't know what. But I decide to just continue with my shower. But now, I can't find the soap. Oh, there it is. On the counter on the far side of the room. I jump down from the bed and walk across the room. Right past the girl, and get the soap. I get back into the shower, and start lathering myself up.

The girl leaves the room. After a few moments she comes back. She has this open jar of something in her hand. She tells me that the jar holds some type of lotion that will protect me from paranormal entities. She gets onto the shower bed with me. I'm already all wet and soapy, and she starts smearing this lotion on my body. Spontaneously, I reach out and wrap her in a big hug. I don't remember what she was wearing. but I know it wasn't much, because she is mostly skin. When I pull her up against me, I get her all slippery and soapy as well. The feel of her slippery body against mine, was very realistic. She doesn't seem to mind that I grabbed her, she smiles at me. I let go of her for a moment, then wake.

Not the best recall again last night. Very little sleep though. I did get Lucid for a short time, but I'm not counting it because of it being an over all badly recalled dream. Took to long of a nap today, probably won't sleep much tonight either. Probably won't get more than three to four hours for the next couple nights.

Barely recalled dream
with some Lucidity

a lot of it is actually pretty clear in my mind, I just can't put the events together very well.

I'm walking through the woods with a dog.( Not my real dog.) It looks like a German Shepperd. Or maybe it could have even been a wolf, I'm not sure. The dog is not on a leash, and I think it's cool how it stays with me, not running off to far.

At some point I see what looks like a a deer on the trail. But when I get a closer look I realize it's actually goat. The goat comes walking towards me and I think that it will attack. So I start shouting at it, trying to scare it away.

At some point here I become Lucid, Spontaneously. I clearly remember the point in which I realize I'm dreaming. I float up, just above some green bushes. I float along for a short time, completely surrounded by green forest. Saying,"this is a dream." over and over.

That's all I remember about that. Not sure what happened exactly, but I know I lose Lucidity. The next thing I remember, is that a mountain lion came out of the woods. The dog, the goat, and the mountain lion, all attack each other. I see them laying all beat up and bloody on the ground in a heap. I remember trying to pull them away from each other.

Some brief descriptions of some other dreams.

About to explore some caves. I'm surprised to see a dragon watching me from inside the cave entrance. I'm afraid for a moment, but the dragon turns out to be friendly. The dragon transforms into a person, and takes me on a tour to a truly amazing underground city.
I clearly remember the strong feeling of fascination and wonder I had, with everything that I saw. But most of it is gone, except for a few images.

There was some stuff about an odd train crossing.


Had some OK recall in my nap.

Had one dream that was just to weird to even try to describe.

Had a dream about being trapped in a large building with a group of people. A giant Anaconda type snake was after us. hard to put this one together in a story line.
But a few people ended up being swallowed whole.
