Thanks for all the comments guys. Much better recall last night, even though I didn't sleep more than two hours before going into work. And I got Lucid in my nap when I came Home! Counting it as a Saturday night Lucid. It was a lot of fun for me. but not to thrilling to read about.



A Lucid Dream

Lucid Dream # 3 of 2008
Reality check induced Lucidity

I have no memory at all, up to the point where I do a reality check. I remember feeling like I needed to do an RC though, So I pinch my nose and I can breath.I'm a little surprised by it, but not overly surprised. That leads me to believe, I must have already suspected I may be dreaming before doing the RC. I have no idea why though.

Again I want A little more proof though, just to double make sure. So I push my finger into the palm of my hand again. And my finger begins slowly sinking into my hand. I forgot that I wanted to try pushing my finger completely through my wrist next time.

I enter the house I was already on my way into. I was outside when I did the RC. I completely forgot about all of my goals. I have some personal goals I really want to practice, as well as the interrogation tasks. Once entering the house, the first thing I decide to do, is get into some sexual activity that I'm not going to describe. That lasted for a little while, I'm surprised I didn't wake myself up.

I keep doing reality checks to stay sure I'm dreaming. I start going crazy in the living room doing flips off of walls and furniture. Though I'm not doing to well with it. half the time I just fall on the floor lol. But I'm having fun anyway. There is a girl in the living room watching TV, That I'm trying to show off for. I stand up on the back of the couch and dive off. I land on my hands and stay that way doing a hand stand for a moment. Then I do kind of a push up motion and spring myself back into the air. And I land back on the couch on my feet.

"Pretty strong, eh." I say. the girl seems impressed by that one, and says "yeah."
I mention something about this being a dream. I don't remember my exact words.
The girl looks kind of confused, and says." wait a minute, this is a dream?" I say "yeah pretty amazing that none of this is real huh?" We both look around the room. And it's a perfect living room. On one side of the room. There is a piano and a kid playing with it. And the TV is on. I don't remember whats on the TV though.

I just look around at everything in amazement for a moment. Then I think, I actually make myself wake up on accident. I start to expect that I'm about to wake up. And I unintentionally kind of force it. the dream fades to black. For a moment I sit there in blackness. Not even sure if I'm actually awake, or just dreaming the blackness. I open my eyes and I'm awake in my room.

I lay there thinking about the dream for a moment, before I remember I had better do a reality check to make sure it's not a false awakening. It was actually a pretty decently long Lucid. I left out the sex stuff. and I was doing acrobatics in the living
room for quite a while.

Kind of a cool Wild
I enter a work dream fully Lucid. I stand there looking around at everything. I'm trying to pin point something that is different from real life. I can't find anything at first. Everything looks exactly the same as in real life. Then, I notice the sound. It's not as noisy as it is in real life. And I cant hear some equipment running, that is normally always making noise. I'm satisfied with myself for noticing that. Then I start walking, to go do something. and I wake up.

Yeah, lucid again!

Haha, no wonder, if you leave the most exciting part out...

Ahh, you had so many plans It's annoying how these are so easily forgotten in a dream.

And another one!


You think this happened because of the lack of sleep?

Yeah it is. during slow times like this month has been. And with my bad recall as well. I care more about just getting Lucid, Than trying to focus on remembering tasks. So once I do get Lucid, I end up just rewarding myself with some fun.

Well, I may have been getting a little early REM rebound. But A lot of it has to do with just remembering the dreams. The last couple of days I have been getting back to the basics. Doing some recall techniques that work for me.

The last couple of weeks, I suspect that I had at least a couple Lucids that I lost. Because I could feel it on the edge of my mind after waking up.

As far as the wild goes. That happened because the last couple nights I have been having a hard time falling asleep. And last night I was trying real hard to focus my mind, and pull myself into sleep. So that's where the wild came from.

The only explanation I have for my recent lack of recall. Is because maybe during my vacation, my brain wasn't used to being able to sleep in so much. So it messed me all up, instead of helped me like I was hoping.

Now that life is back to my normal routine, things should get better again.

Seems like she'd cry from hearing you say that. That would actually make me laugh.

LOl. Actually she was as fascinated by the idea as I was. At least thats how I interpreted her expression.

Thanks Mark. I can't seem to get enough of the acrobatics. I just love being able to do that kind of stuff!

That's a great dream! And I can see why you got the girl this time...

A Lucid Dream
Sunday/January/20/2008
Lucid Dream # 4 of 2007
No reality check needed

The first thing I remember is being in the back of some pickup truck. It's an abnormally large truck. I'm laying on my back looking up through the branches of a very tall tree.
One of the wide arms of the tree breaks off and falls on me. I think, I will be crushed. But somehow I just end up being pinned. I am able to lift the massive limb and push it to the side.

I get up and start playing around on the truck. I'm jumping from one part of the truck to the other. It's kind of strange. Gravity seems to lose it's effect. It's kind of like I'm walking on the moon. I jump, and kind of slowly float across the top of the truck and land. Somewhere around here I become aware that I'm dreaming.

There is no moment of shock realization. I just become aware that I'm dreaming without even taking note of the realization. If that makes any sense. It's happened to me like that a few times before. I start doing more acrobatics, doing flips back and forth across the top of the truck. I flip into the air and begin slowly levitating higher and higher. I begin swooping around these monster sized trees.

At this point a sense of great joy sinks in, and I'm happy beyond words. The trees are just beautiful. I fly to the top of the tallest tree, and perch on a thick branch. I take in the view and it's spectacular. I see somebody running on the ground below me. I shout down, "hey watch this!" I dive head first off of the tree. I fall like a rock, and slam into the ground with a lot of force. It was pretty cool. I get up and start running in the direction the other person was going.

I now feel like I've been in this dream for a very long time. I'm not sure why I felt like that. There must have been more to the dream I don't remember.

I now remember some goals. The first thing I do, is rub my hands together It feels pretty realistic. I then close my eyes, and try to visualize a castle on a hill. At the same time, I'm rubbing my hands together to help keep me in the dream. I am also still running while doing this. I should have stopped because the running was distracting me. I only have my eyes closed for a moment before opening them again to see where I am lol.

(My plan was to pretend that my eyes were open as I was visualizing the scene. So that I could smoothly just step into a new scene, without having to open my eyes again. I have done this before without being Lucid. I have yet to pull it off while fully Lucid though. But I only tried a couple times before.)

I try it again, still running. I almost make something happen this time. I start to see something starting to form. And I get that weird feeling you get, when just starting to slide into a dream when your trying to WILD. But then I open my eyes again and lose it. Back in the original scene again for a few moments before waking up.

Stressful driving
I'm driving down a road in my very small car. there is a long line of large constriction vehicles driving slowly down the right side of the road. I'm trying to get by them, but they are taking up part of the lane. So it's a close fit. There is a train on my left side way to close for comfort. Not much room for me between the two. My car begins to gradually drift to the left. I'm getting closer and closer to the train. I try to turn to the right. but the car keeps drifting left. I'm even trying to lean with my body to get my car to go right. but I can't, and I'm just inches from side swiping the train. I know if that happens I will be crushed. I'm starting to really stress out. But just in the nick of time the road clears out and I'm fine with plenty of room.

Fake Zombies
I'm taking part in making some kind of movie or show. It's a zombie adventure. It's kind of like a cross between a reality show and a video game. there is no script it's up to me to survive as long as I can, any way that I can. And it's all being filmed.
I start by entering some building with a long corridor. Some of the details are hard to remember. But I'm in this endless building infested with zombies that are trying to kill me. But not kill me for real, because it's just a show. And I know the zombies are just actors in costumes and masks. But it's still kind of scary.

I remember being in a stairwell trying to fight off zombies. I'm trying not to hurt them because they are really people. But I have to do enough damage to take them out of the game. there is something that determines whether I have made a kill or not.

I eventually end up in this wide open courtyard. zombies come at me from every direction. And there are more and more of them all the time. Conveniently there are now these chairs on a cable going by over head. Like a ski lift. I leap into one, and I'm just above the heads of the zombies. I try attacking them while riding the chairs. I'm doing pretty well, and it gets to be almost like I'm flying over them.

I'm thinking myself pretty cool, when I suddenly find my self sitting on the ground in my chair. with A hoard of zombies running at me from every direction. I wake up before they get t o me.

Seven gates of doom. A grade school adventure
I'm a kid again and I'm going back to a school I went to. the dream starts out that I'm walking to school. I make it to school and I find my class. I look for a desk to sit in. I sit in a desk, and in the process I accidentally knock this kids books all over the place.
That is sitting next to me. I try to help pick them up but I just keep making more of a mess of them.

The class starts, and kids are taking turns reading out loud. from some text book. I feel a sense of dread because I don't want to be the one to read at all. I'm trying to think of some way to get out of reading, when there is this strange slamming sound. That echos through the entire school. The teacher says, "what was that?"

The dream takes a sinister turn. There is some unknown evil force attacking the school. The school is closed in by these seven gates. The slamming sound was one of the gates being destroyed. One of the kids starts singing this rhyme song about the seven gates of doom. And once all the gates to the school have been destroyed, the evil whatever it is, can enter the school.

The next thing I remember, is being at the first gate that had been destroyed. And trying to fix it. With the help of some others, we get the gate back up and closed.

Next, I'm by this large indoor pond with blue water. I'm watching the fish, when I see something large come swimming towards me. It jumps from the water and into the hall. It's a dolphin! The dolphin swims through the air down the corridor. A little ways down the corridor is a blue wall. Which I realize is the beginning of where the corridor is filled with water. the dolphin enters the wall of water, swims up near the ceiling, end exits through a hole in the ceiling.

I walk down the corridor and I enter the wall of water as well. It's really strange, I'm walking underwater. Now the school seems more like a mall. there are stores along the side. I enter this underwater novelty shop. And I'm so fascinated by the place. Because of the store itself, and because it's all underwater. I run back the way I came,
to go looking for somebody to show this to. I'm so excited that I'm skating on my feet down the hall. And jumping over benches and stuff. (after exiting the water area that is.) I'm nearly Lucid again before waking up.

Didn't this happen before. I remember reading this before.

I had a pretty cool dream like that. there were basically walls and square columns and I was swimming and jumping through like a dolphin. There were even square pockets of air in the middle. Some time after that in the same dream, Hiro and Ando were there...I don't know why. Cool dream though. Damn awesome actually.

interesting lucid there mate, I like the falling out the tree ha ha thats great! also that idea of changing dream scenes is quite a good one especially the little detail of rubbing hands to stop the dream fading. nice one man.

lol the fake zombie dream was great! I like the way you have to do a certain amount of damage to take them out the game.

That last dream sounds mad! and somewhat familiar lol I used to dread the reading aloud in class ha ha

OOOO! I should have rubbed my own hands together last time. It's in my DJ. Made me pissed.

Lol that last dream was pretty cool, honestly! That could turn into a good story. (I'm an author, and I'm sorry. I'll say this often.)

Yeah, last time the car went of the road into a field. And I ended up getting Lucid.

yeah, your not really using your eyes in a dream anyway right. your seeing with you mind. It's strange you can even close your eyes in a dream, and make everything disappear that easy.

That part was like a video game. If I hit them hard enough they would kind of fall down, then hover above the ground a little bit.

Yeah, I always hated reading like that. It's pretty lame they even make kids do that.

Thats the first time I tried doing that.

Thanks for reading! I didn't feel like I described that very well. I was pretty tired and in a hurry when I wrote those dreams. glad you guys liked it though.

It's cool your a writer. A dreaming forum is a good place to get ideas for stories.

bodiless I'm watching a Formula One Race. there is an accident. Many cars are totaled. there is debris everywhere. And I even see a few motionless bodies laying on the track.

Farther down the road, I'm now a part of the dream, sitting on a grassy slope. there are many other spectators around. Across the track is wilderness. I see a red fox running along the edge of the forest. The fox turns and looks in my direction. it crosses the track a little ways down from me. The fox is now as big as a wolf, or large dog.

I see the fox up on the hill behind me. Then it attacks! I kick at it trying to keep it back. My kicks are pretty week though, I can't move very well. A couple of people come to help me. I wake up while trying to chase the thing off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My step dad gives me a big bag of dog food. I notice that it's not dog food at all, but cat food. I tell him that I can't feed the dog cat food. But he doesn't agree, and we get into an argument over it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing in my nap. Almost had something, but couldn't get it.

if only you got lucid. I really like foxes, so I think that would've been pretty cool.

ha ha another animal attack dream nice one mate

Fox attack!

I just now saw your last lucid up there--that was a cool one. I like how you dived out of the tree, and tried to visualize the castle. Good job remembering your goals.

I know, I really need to start looking for attacking animals during the day.

Thanks, I also thought of the interrogation task. but there was nobody immediately near me to talk to. So I tried that one. I'm going to try that some more. It would be nice if I could make it work. I would love to be able to visit my favorite imaginary places.

Bull attack
I'm with my brother in some wilderness. I think it's supposed to be at the cabin. I'm trying to talk my brother into hiking to some really cool place that I know of. But he does not want to go. I see something brown moving through the trees. I take a closer look, and I see that it's a long horn bull. It charges out of the trees at us. My brother and I both run to the nearest trees and climb up. We each climb a different tree. There are branches in just the right places to make it an easy climb.

To late, I notice that my tree is dead and too rotten to hold my weight. I'm already near the top, and the tree begins falling. As it falls towards another tree, I jump into that tree. But, then this tree begins to fall as well. I am able to leap into another tree again.
And again the new tree begins falling. It's like a domino effect. The trees are falling like a wave. And I keep jumping from tree to tree. As if I'm riding a wave of falling trees.

I'm actually having a good time, it's pretty fun. I'm thinking I've just invented a new sport. I woke up while riding the trees, feeling like I was near Lucidity.


House bus
I'm sitting in this nice house just admiring my surroundings. The house becomes a bus riding down the highway.,Like an RV. Then the RV becomes this big gold wing style motorcycle, and I'm driving it down the highway to some specific place. I'm not sure where.

Dirt biking in the sand
I'm on my moto-cross bike. There is a wide open area thats really sandy like a beach.
No jumps or obstacles of any kind. I ride in a big circle around the whole area. Around and around I go. Really leaning the bike into the turns, digging up the sand and forming nice sandy burms. With each circuit, I'm able to go faster because of the burms I'm forming. I just keep doing laps, trying to go as fast as I can through the turns and beating my time.

Was dreaming something about the ghost hunter show I was watching last night. Can't remember it though.

Nap
In my nap all I can remember is that I had some kind of powers. People were afraid of me because of these powers. So I was being hunted. Must have been Heroes influenced. I don't even remember the dream at all. I just know that's what it was about. Strange, I can remember the plot, without remembering anything that happened. Not even a single image comes to mind.
