Thread: Caradon's Dream Journal

See thats the problem with FAs even if you do get lucid they are so real its hard to know that you are safe to do stuff. I know I have had to RC tuns before I feel confident doing something when im in my house.

Congrats on the lucid though, hey you have done really well this year your total is massive

guess what that means!:bravo::bravo::bravo::bravo::bravo:

Yep! And I'm gonna start a lucid journal starting with that entry. It was awesome!!! It probably won't rival anyone else's great lucids and I fell out of lucidity or I was partially lucid, but still awesome.

Congratulations, Shinjiro-yan! I bet it is the first of many!

That's OK if it wasn't great the first time, it will get better. Good idea to start a journal, because it is very inspirational and good for recall.

Good luck, and I'll watch for your journal--can't wait to read your dream.

Roller blading dreamsign noticed!
Almost Lucid.

I step outside, I have my roller-blades on, and I begin skating around. I try a little jump, I hop up over a curb, and onto a sidewalk no problem. I don't lose balance at all. I begin jumping up onto other things a little higher every time. I see a low brick wall about waist high. There is a car parked close to the wall. I jump up onto the wall, skate across the top of it. Jump again, from the wall, onto the roof of the car. I skate across the roof, then jump into the air. spin around completely. and land perfectly on the ground. and keep skating. I jump off a couple other high curbs, and I'm able to spin around in the air from those too. I decide to go back to the wall. I jump onto the wall, onto the car, and into the air a couple more times. When suddenly I think, Maybe the reason I can skate so well now is because I'm dreaming! I'm just about to reach up and pinch my nose. But I don't get the chance, because I wake up.

I've been having a lot of really hard to describe dreams lately. I haven't even tried to post most of them.

Dolphins
This one is a little confusing too. but a really powerful dream so I'll try and describe the basic outline of it.

There is some kind of really wide river. there is this spot where the river comes up against a wall. there is a massive wave that keeps splashing up against the wall. There is a crowd of people on top of the wall. the people are gathered to watch the coming of the dolphins. The dolphins, gather here once a year to feed on a certain type of fish that spawns in this spot every year.

My perspective is all over the place in this dream. but at one point I'm on the wall. And I fall into the river. I'm worried at first, but the dolphins are friendly.

The dream takes a sick turn, and poachers show up on ships. I watch helpless as dolphins are being caught in nets. And being hung upside down by cables with hooks.
and being cut open and gutted while they are still alive.

Things take a strange really hard to describe turn. As I'm watching in horror as the dolphins are being slaughtered. I become aware of this presence. And I somehow know it's the dolphins. there is something supernatural about them. And they have some kind of power. I'm transported by this dolphin entity, to another time or dimension or something. I'm aware that they are trying to show me something important about them. Something about their history or where they came from or something. There was some confusing hard to describe images. I don't remember much more about it.

Last nights wild attempt
First I'm floating into HI. I Suddenly hear my reality check timer in my mind, and it startles me awake.

I then enter a dream scene without Lucidity. I'm on some kind of under sea station.
A portion of the place is caving in. like it's starting to implode because of the pressure of the sea. I randomly start hearing my reality check timer.(It's not on in real life, I'm dreaming it!) I'm about to do a reality check but I slide back awake.

Comments
If I can get myself to dream about that timer in a normal dream I'll be set.
It should be interesting to see what happens with my vacation coming up. when I can keep the timer on all day every day. And get more sleep besides.

It's starting to work! I bet it works for you pretty soon.

Oh yea...you got that long time off coming up! I bet you get some good results then. Are you going anywhere or staying home?

I know what you mean about dreams that are too hard to describe. I have a lot of those; I don't know what percentage are actually "tellable", but not a real high amount, maybe 50/50, and then I forget some of those.

That was so strange. I'm never just sitting in a room alone in a dream!

Thanks, I'm going to have to work hard to beat this years count.
I'm feeling up for it though.

Thanks for that. I do get some b6 in a multi vitamin I take in the morning.
I'm not sure how much it is exactly. It says 100% How many mg that is I don't know.

Well, congrats on the series of lucids, caradon!

Your reply to moonbeam made me smile, I didn't expect you actually doing that many RCs! But you inspired me to try it for a while!

Love the description of that scenery, would have been amazing to fly over it! I'm sure you'll be able to accomplish that in one of your next lucids.


Hahaha, laughing out loud in the train (people looked at me :shame for that part where you tried to convince you DC that you/he was dreaming

And about the part where you just sat on your bed, waiting to wake up.
Actually, I think it's very good progress if you can just sit down and think about what's going on... instead of getting tunnel vision and hurry up to accomplish a task...

(saved a copy and try 1 more time to see if my phone still works...)

thanks Sara! sucks you lost your post. I hate when that happens. and I would have liked to have read it.
I enjoy convincing DC's their dreaming. I guess it just gives me a sense of sharing the experience. I once convinced the whole dream world it was a dream lol. I told one DC, and he spread the word. pretty soon every one in the whole world knew it was a dream. And they all thought I was some kind of messiah that had come to tell them the truth about their world. It was kind of funny.

Well four Lucids in three nights. And a noticed dreamsign on the fourth night.
I have to say, I'm pretty happy with those kind of results.

I'm staying home. When people at work ask me that question. I tell them I'm going around the world in a hot air balloon. I've been planning the trip for years.

Don't have to worry about them thinking I'm weird with the reality checks. because they already know it's true.

Thanks, but don't expect much.

roller blading again! woohooo lol thats cool! I love your roller blading dreams very inspirational, I will have to give it a try sometime.

I get what you mean with confusing dreams, sometimes you cant write them down because they dont make sense....its weird

ha ha yeah next year it will be hard to beat lol your gonna have to have a ton of LDs every week ha ha

Poor dolpnins! I saw a youtube video where the japanese were slaughtering them just like you described. Too bad Claire from Heroes wasn't there to put a stop to it. She got in crap for trying to do that.

Cool! Stop by my house and pick me up. Maybe we can touch down in Northern England too.

Yea I have that problem too. I feel sorry for them, not knowing what they're missing.

Ok, Watch for me. I'll be dropping the rope ladder!

One day, somebody saw me pinching my my nose and asked me what I was doing. I told them I was trying to see if I can breath through my nose like that. I told them, that once in a while I can. And that's when the fun begins. I didn't say anything more about it than that.

Not a lot of sleep the last couple nights. So not a lot of dreams.

Yesterdays Wild attempt
I enter a scene partially Lucid. I have my watch in my hand. the timer starts beeping.
I don't need to do a reality check because the timer brings me into full Lucidity.
I lay there in kind of an hypnagogic state for a few moments listening to the sound of my timer. fascinated by how my mind is creating the sound exactly.

Todays unintentional WILD attempt
after sleeping about two hours, and waking up from a vivid dream about a golf course.
I get up to pee. I want to sleep just a little longer to get some more recall. But I'm kind of awake now.

I lay there for a few moments. Then enter a work scene. The timer on my watch starts going off. I start pushing the button to turn it off as I wake up.

Note to self: Always do reality check before turning off timer.

Next, partially Lucid I hear a dramatic movie voice describing some new movie.
And then I see an image of a guy in a dark hooded cloak, sitting in a shopping cart, while flying through space, and waving a sickle.

It's supposed to be a preview of some weird comedy.

Thanks! But, I envy the ability of some others. Like Sara, Clairity, Pj, And bro is good at it too.

All I get is little teaser WILD's, Figures! I can do it almost any night, but I can't really make anything out of them.

OK, getting off the computer. It's my night to sleep in and I need to just focus on getting Lucid.

Plus, I'm making Sunday nights house cleaning night. I like to have a nice clean place on my days off. And It's another thing that helps get me in that relaxed frame of mind I need to get Lucid.

Bear attack!
I'm walking with my step dad on some wilderness trail. we are getting ready to camp out for the night when I see something moving away from us through the brush really fast. It's only about as big as raccoon and it's a brown round ball of fur. I notice that there is a nest near the trail. there are these tiny animals that look like miniature gorillas sitting in the nest looking up at me. I reach down towards them with my fingers extended. And the little gorillas open their mouths wide trying to bite my fingers.

I now notice, that the mother that has just ran off is now back. And it's a small brown bear! A lot bigger than a cub. but still much smaller than a full grown bear. I'm trying to avoid it hiding and stuff. when I see my step dad confronting the bear. I try to tell him that even though the bear is small, it is still very powerful. but he continues his confrontation.

The bear charges him. And my step dad falls down as he tries to back off. I see the bear attack him. It has it's jaws clamped onto his arm. I then attack the bear trying to help him. I get the bear to release his arm. and I hold my hand around the bears nose and mouth trying to keep it from being able to bite. Even as I do this I realize that I should not be strong enough to hold his mouth closed. but I'm manging it anyway.
I'm afraid to let go. I take my finger and poke it into the bears eye. thinking that if I can blind it. I can let go of it's mouth and run away. It's pretty gross. My finger sinks into it's eyeball, and a bunch of fluid comes pouring out of the socket. I'm about to try poking out it's other eye when I wake up.

Tidal wave
I'm swimming in the ocean, there are other people there too. I have a surf-board. there is a fairly big wave forming behind me. I lay on my stomach on the back portion of the board, as the wave begins pushing me forward I jump up onto the board and begin surfing the wave. I'm excited that even though I've never been surfing before. I'm now surfing like a pro on my first try. I surf the wave all the way to shore, and slide right up onto the beach.

The wave recedes, and seems to take the whole ocean with it. I walk out onto the bare ocean floor trying to figure out where all the water went. other people are looking around just as mystified. I now notice a huge wall of water in the distance coming at us.
The water receded and formed one massive wave. I know there is no way I'm going to be able to surf this wave. I start running. Everything is moving in slow motion now.
I see a small shack on the shore. and for some reason I think if I can get inside it. I will be protected.

but, I can't run I'm moving very slow. the good thing, is that the wave is moving just as slow. everything is in slow motion. but the wave is still getting closer to me, than I am to the shack. I don't think I can make it. but somehow I do get there ahead of the wave.
Once inside, I instantly regret being inside it. because I'm thinking that if gets flooded and washed along. I may have a hard time finding my way out of the shack and drown.

So I run outside again, and the wave has already broken onto the shore. And really isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I watch as these little glowing people with fast beating wings. rise up out of the brush, and begin flying around. like little Tinker-bells.(where the heck did that come from!) I look around and see that some normal person had been impaled on some metal post when the wave broke.
Then I wake up.

More dreams to post later. A somewhat successful WILD in the morning. but still not good enough to count as a Lucid.

Wooohooo caradon fights back lol stupid bear didnt see that one coming did ha ha

And that tidal wave is incredible! I would love to dream something like that!

Did you ever see the fotage of the thailand Tsunami? its like that, the water goes really far out and people walk down to investigate the the wall of water comes back it. Its sad but spectacular

Hey Caradon you are coming full circle...back to bear attack dreams!

Good luck on that WILDing, I hope you get it figured out. Then tell me, OK?

Magic
Another impossible to describe dream but it was the best dream of the night. so here goes a basic outline.

I'm in some building on an upper level walkway. the walkway has a railing, and along the wall are many doors. There are two people with me. One is some kind of guide or something. I need to pick one of the doors, because within lies the rest of my life. And what ever job I will spend the rest of my life doing. But once entering a door there is no return. If you don't like the choice to bad. The problem is, is that there are no labels on the doors. So I have no idea what kind of life I will be getting into when I enter. I have to just hope I pick a good one.

The guide points out a door to the two of us and recommends we should pick that one. He claims it's a very good one. So, we both enter. I now find myself in a gym, with a boxing ring. There are many boxers training. I'm like wtf I don't want to be a boxer!
The other guy decides to enter the ring. And one of the other boxers gets in the ring with him. The guy charges the boxer. and the boxer just nails him with one solid punch and knocks the guy to the floor. there are lots of people watching and laughing.

the guy gets up and starts putting on a show. Dancing and strutting around. And people are cheering him on. It's a strange sight.

Suddenly, the dream completely shifts. and it's totally different. I have this staff it's about four feet long. It's black, and the tips on each end are white. I now have the ability using this staff to create anything I want. It's like I have the ultimate dream control, with the wave of my staff. But, I am also in training. There is an older man, with even greater power than mine. And he is training me to wisely use this power.
I forgot to mention that I'm like a teenager now.

The man wants me to learn a lesson about appreciating having things. So he takes away my powers. He then transports this old yellow muscle car from another time.
It materializes right in front of me. Only it's just junk. he wants me to rebuild this car piece by piece. Until it's a high tech race car that I can really appreciate having, because of building it by hand.

He decides then, to temporarily give me back my magic abilities. So that I can see what the car will be like when I'm done. I wave my wand and the car instantly transforms into this awsome yellow and black Chevy camaro. Sort of like the one in the transformers movie. Only way cooler looking. I get in the car and start racing through the city out of control. With no regard for traffic laws or other drivers.

Suddenly, the dream shifts again. And I'm in some kind of huge lobby to some building. The man is holding up my car over his head by one hand. And he is pissed that I took advantage of my power. driving crazy all over the city like that. It's like he changed the dream scene and brought me to this place. He drops the car, and begins doing something to me with his magic. It's I'm not even sure how to describe it. But I'm sitting on this couch. And some weird stuff starts happening to me. I actually split into two different people and I'm watching myself on the couch from across the room.
I realize that the man is trying to make me understand something. But he wants me to come to the understanding on my own with out him telling me. As I wake up, I get the feeling that he is trying to make me understand that I'm dreaming!

Wow that's weird. The DC was trying to get you lucid. To bad he didn't succeed. Maybe next time...

Yeah it was a really strange dream. he should have just told me lol. It's happened before. More than once. I actually became fully Lucid in my WIlD attempt because of a DC.

I entered a work dream. I had partial Lucidity. I remember kind of thinking that I was dreaming. but I just kept working. A DC comes up to me and says. "I wish I was dreaming right now." I looked up at her and said "I am dreaming right now!" And I repeated it three more times before waking up.

To late to post any more dreams. I had quite a few. didn't take a nap today either so I'm tired now.
