Thread: Caradon's Dream Journal

Thanks, you guys. I'm glad you like this avatar, I like it too. It seems like a unique picture, and I like the coloring of it.

I think it will be tricky creating a haunted house in a Lucid. To make a really haunted place, I will probably have to generate fear. Which could be hard while being as happy as I am when Lucid.

Last night I was having an interesting dream. When I suddenly realized that I had not been paying attention to weather or not I was dreaming for a while. I told myself, that if I want to get Lucid again, I had better stay more focused. I start looking around and trying to decide if it's a dream. While in the process of trying to decide if it was a dream, I woke up. I'm not sure if I was going to remember to do the nose reality check or not. But I'd like to think that I would have remembered in a moment. I've been pretty gung ho about doing those nose checks. Every since it worked so well for me in my last Lucid.


Had a pretty shitty day at work. The person that covers for me on my days off, walked off the job yesterday. And I was left with an even bigger work load than the already increased amount! But I'm pretty proud of the fact that I was able to stay in a great mood through out it all. I have Lucid Dreaming to thank for that. Just the fact that I came so close to getting Lucid again last night, was enough to keep me happy all day regardless.

I like that avatar too, you should keep it for a while. A lot of times when people I know from DV show up in a dream, it sort of has something to do with their avatar. Altho if I see your avatar in a dream, I'll probably get scared.

I'm a little scared of doing the haunted house one too. I'm afraid of generating a nightmare. But I guess if doing it and overcoing the fear would be good too. You never know tho, sometimes situations that seem like they should be scary just don't feel that way in.

Too bad about your job! Hang in there.

I thought I was the only one a little nervous about the haunted house (given how real things appear in an LD).

Caradon, isn't it nice to know that no matter what happens in your "waking" world.. you have your "lucid" one to make you feel better!

OK Yeah, I think I'll keep this avatar for a while. Don't worry about the haunted house guys it will be fun. it's good to over come fears in dreams.
I'm just not sure I can create something scary after becoming Lucid. I will have to try thinking about past scary haunted house dreams, and try and generate the same feeling I had during them. Maybe try it in a dark creepy basement. At least it won't be hard to find a house anyway.

Just thought of a good idea! Rent a bunch of movies or documentaries about hauntings. I think I'm going to try that. I'm a member of BLOCKBUSTER ONLINE. so I have easy access to any number of stuff like that. maybe I can get Lucid in the middle of a scary haunting dream. that would be the best way for me I think.

Yeah Clairity, it's great being able to fall back on Lucidity to keep you happy.
As long as you can put things in your life, out of your mind enough to focus on your dreams. Thats the hard part. Sometimes I like to pretend that my waking life is a dream. And that there is no point in getting stressed out over anything that happens. Because I created the events in the first place. When I remember to think that way, it really helps.

Didn't sleep, much not a lot of dreams. But I did have one where I was at work, and I was talking to somebody about Lucid Dreaming.

Ok.. WAAAAAY too scarey!! I don't wish to be traumatized during an LD.

Good point.. sometimes what's going on in my life won't let me quiet my mind enough to WILD.

Sounds like a splendid idea!

I put the Amityville horror box set on the top of my mailing list. they already shipped the first two. should have them by Monday.

Last week I was to busy to record many dreams. as a result my recall started to slip for a couple of days. I don't quite understand why I have to write them down in oder to get good recall. It's like my subconscious says "if your going to get lazy on me I'm not going to let you remember your dreams!"
Or maybe it's just because I believe I will lose recall if I don't write them.
Anyway it's coming back now. I got five different dreams last night.



Attempting telekinesis
I was on my way out of a fast food restaurant. I refilled my drink then walked outside. I started walking to my car, but my car was kind of far away. It seemed to far to walk, so I start trying to levitate my car and bring it to me. Didn't actually do it though.
That's all I remember about it. I must have been aware it was a dream on some level, in order to be seriously trying to levitate my car.

Alien machine
Was having a strange dream about an intelligent machine from another planet. It kind of reminded me of the robot from lost in space, only a lot bigger. it's head was much wider than it's body. And it had many tentacled arms. at the end of it's arms, it had these probes that attached to the back of a persons head. and it was somehow able to enter peoples minds, and control there bodies. it used humans that way to do what ever it needed to be done. It was in a large room, and had about twenty different people under it's control. It had that many arms. And as it moved along, the people would move along with it, doing it's bidding.

Don't know why, but for some reason the machine released the people under it's control, and blasted off. It flew up and crashed through the ceiling. It went through a couple of levels of the building before taking off into space. For some reason I was fascinated by the smoke trail it left behind. Then the dream shifts to a congregation of people, planning to fly into space and hunt down the machine.

There was an episode of Justice League that went down just like that. The robot was Brainiac, had the tentacles and head probes and all.

Sweet, im loving the robot dream I have a good image of the tenticles attached to peoples head! thats great

Im gonna check out your dream journal...there are alot of pages so it will take me a while lol but I will let you know what I think...from what I have read so far I think its gonna be a great read

I don't remember if I ever saw that or not. I recently watched The Matrix I must have gotten the alien machine theme from that.

Thanks Mark, I appreciate that! Unfortunately all of my dreams are not as bizarre as that one was. But every now and then I get some pretty crazy dreams. There are some interesting ones on the last couple of pages. And there are Lucids here and there throughout the whole thing. not all of them are in blue. But their all Labeled as Lucids. There are some pretty strange non Lucids in my notebooks from before I joined The forum. I'll try and get around to posting some of those. Hope you enjoy them.

An odd sort of Lucid
In this dream I was watching myself in a Lucid dream. I was watching as I was running through a wild obstacle course. The obstacles would spring up around me as I went through the course. I was doing all sorts of acrobatics to get over and through them. I knew the reason the obstacles sprang up as I went, was because they were dream obstacles. And it was fascinating watching the way they appeared. I knew that the me I was watching was fully Lucid. But, I don't think I was aware I was dreaming, as I was watching myself in a dream. Very strange! That never happened to me before.

Kidnapped by terrorists
A group of terrorist entered a room I was in. They were all carrying swords with curved blades like scimitars. they forced me by sword point out of the room and into a car. I was thinking about how they like to decapitate prisoners. We start driving and we eventually stop at a fast food place. they order a ton of burgers. the burgers are small like white castle burgers. All of us just pig out on the burgers, They disappear so fast that they have to get more. And the new ones disappear just as fast. I wake up while eating burgers. Lol, must have been hungry!

Mouse problem
My step dad rents houses in real life. In the dream, he tells me about a mouse problem he has. The mice are ruining electrical wiring. My step Dads solution is to make sure that the mice are well fed so that they are to full to eat wires. So he has all this mouse food he's planning to put out for the mice. I argue that it's not the way to take care of the problem but he doesn't listen.

Had a dream about going out to Lunch with my deceased grandmother. she tells me about how she thinks I should look for a new job.

Recall is back, I remember a ton of dreams from last night.

It's great when you notice how things form in dreams. To me it feel like I'm watching watching some fundamental secret when that happens.

wow that first dream with the obsticles just appearing is great..I would love to see that!

im sure this is gonna be a stupid question but is white castles a real place then? I have only ever seen it in harrold and kummar get the munchies

Doesn't Caradon have the most action-packed, physical dreams you've ever seen? Great to read.

Well it's not stupid if you've never been there...and yes, it is a real place..the most wonderful place in the world. The hamburgers cost such a small amount, you can get like ten of them, or five double cheeseburgers, and they will put cheese on the fries...and the coffee is the best...oh I'm getting hungry just thinking about it Lucky Caradon! I'm going to White Castle tonight too! Meet you there! (mark, you can't miss it--they are white and glowing, and shaped just like a castle, but with a drive-thru).

WAAAAAAH.. I love White Castle and there are no White Castles in Texas!

All we have are those crappy frozen White Castle burgers in the frozen food aisle of the grocery store.

Thanks Mark!
When I wrote that, I realized some people would not know what white castle is. But I forgot about that movie. Was it any good? I was thinking about renting it and never got around to it. Then I forgot about it all together.

I never tried the ones from the grocery store. from your description of them, I guess there is no reason to.

I had no idea my white castle burger dream would cause such a reaction lol.
There is a white castle a few miles down the road from me. I'll go get some and eat a couple of them for each of you.

Two short Lucids Last night! And a dream within a dream. Got Lucid then had a false awakening. then went back to sleep in the FA. And went into another dream, and ended up getting Lucid again in that one! I'll write them later tonight.

It was a really funny movie.. I've watched it a couple of times!

LOL! I can't wait to read all about it!

Lucid Dream # 42 of 2007
Monday/October/1/2007

This one was hard to recall since I had a false awakening, and went into another dream without waking up. And it took place in the first hour of sleeping. So the little details are a bit fuzzy. It was really short anyway.

I was in an outside area surrounded by buildings. I get the feeling that they were wear house buildings. I suddenly see Freddy Krueger, and he immediately comes running towards me ready to slice me up with those razor blade fingers of his. And almost instantly I realize I'm dreaming. I reach out with my mind, and I levitate him so fast and so high. That he rockets into the sky and disappears from sight in a matter of seconds.
I chuckle to myself. I think it's pretty funny that I made such short work of him so
quickly. I'm about to levitate myself and start flying, when I'm woken up by somebody coming to my house.( Not really it's a false awakening) I'm half naked wrapped in my blanket. I get pissed off and yell at them to go away because I'm trying to sleep! They go away and I feel bad about yelling at them. I lay back down and go back to sleep.

Lucid Dream # 43 Of 2007
This one I remember vividly

Next, I find myself on a narrow trail There are trees and brush on it. But, it's strange it's like a peninsula there are large bodies of water on either side of the trail. As I walk, the trail gets even narrower. the trail isn't much more than a strip of slippery mud now. I realize there has been flooding. I little farther down I come to a spot where I can no longer walk. because the water has gone over the trail. so I turn around and start to head back. But I don't get far. because, now the water has gone over the trail behind me, and blocked my retreat as well. But, I can see where there is land. So I take a couple of running steps and try and jump for it. I end up over open water, and the land is much to far away. I start to will myself forward. So I'm now kind of flying, trying desperately to make a very long jump. I start becoming partially Lucid here. But I'm to focused on trying to get to land, to let it fully sink in. Now there are fast currents all around, and I'm increasingly more afraid of falling in the water. And as it becomes obvious that there is no way I will make it. I become fully Lucid! relief washes over me, and I continue to fly along the surface of the water. after a short while, I start seeing water falls flowing over high cliffs in front of me, and to the sides of me. It's very beautiful! Once I reach the cliff in front of me, and a wall of falling water. I fly up the waterfall. I can feel the cool misty spray from the falls. It's just awsome. I fly up it very fast, and then rise above it. I'm in such a state of exhilarated joy. that all I can do is fly straight up into the sky, and then lean backwards into an end over end free fall.
I enjoy the awsome feeling of complete surrender of control, until I end up waking up.

I know the first Lucid with Freddy, was induced because of watching the Amityville horror before going to sleep. Thats the second time I ever got Lucid because of Freddy. The first time was much scarier. At least up until I got Lucid that is. I was also paying attention to weather I was dreaming, the whole time I was watching the movie.
I think, I'll watch some of the Freddy movies, to See if I can get him to make me Lucid some more. Even though I never actually woke up in between. I think I can count this as two different Lucids. They were two completely different dreams. I'm off to get us all some white castles.

I'm in such a state of exhilarated joy. that all I can do is fly straight up into the sky, and then lean backwards into an end over end free fall.

That was a great dream.

I'm off to get us all some white castles.

Now he's teasing us!

mark, I meant we could meet there in a dream...but I guess Clairity and I have an advantage because we've been there before. Clairity, I'm in the same situation as you; I think the closest one is like 300 miles away--and that may be a rumor.

Yea that is a good movie Caradon, really funny.

Thanks Moonbeam, Free falling like that has been my favorite thing to do in a Lucid every since I discovered it. Just don't want to make it the only thing I do. Never flew up a waterfall like that before that was great.

Was just trying to share the white castles the only way possible.

OK, I'll try to remember to put it on my mailing list next time I'm on the BLOCKBUSTER site.
