Well I still go hiking all the time. It's the feeling of those dreams that are special.
I guess it's about like trying to explain to somebody how a Lucid dream feels any more special than a none Lucid one.

But in the end, they just used pepper spray on the bear.

Yeah, I know about all that stuff. Black bears are generally very timid, and easily frightened away. But if they are hungry and desperate enough your doomed. because the only time black bears attack people, is when they plan to eat you. It's the opposite with grizzlies. They almost never attack with the intent to eat you. They normally only attack when surprised, or defending their food.

The thing is, they don't understand how much weaker humans are compared to them. So when they come at you, you have to pretend your tuffer than they are. when they realize your not, you become a quick meal unless you have a weapon.

I read about a little girl that fought off a black bear attack, by dumping boiling water on it, and then hitting it in the face with an axe.

I never ran into one by the way, and probably never will. But I was thinking about getting some of that spray. Just so I feel like I have some kind of defense if I needed it.
I always feel pretty safe out there, but you never know when you could come across one. And with my luck it would probably be that extra hungry bear!

The things you describe, does it feel like HI or really like a dream?

Well once I actually enter the scene, it's different than Hi. But I don't really consider any of my WILDS real dreams. Except for the recent one where I had the false awakening instead of waking up like I normally do.

Glad to know I'm not the only D&D dork here. I miss playing that game. All my friends moved away that I used to play with.

Yeah, I do get that feeling in real life. But in the dream it's magnified a hundredfold so it's still a lot different.

Thanks, I bet if you practiced quieting your mind every night as you fall asleep it wouldn't take to long.

I never actually got into a good game of D&D. I played it a couple times. But never got into a once a week on going adventure with any group. But I read Fantasy books all the time.

Are you familiar with R.A. Salvatore then? I love his stuff. I'm in the process of reading his Demon wars saga right now. It's great! Though I have not had the chance to read much lately. I plan to pick it up again tomorrow.

Dad
My dad and my brother came to the house to pick me up. Not sure where we were going. They came in to wait for me to get ready.(I never even thought about the fact that my dad was dead in this dream.) I start to show them this cool digital 3D movie I have.(don't really have one.) There was some cool images on the screen. don't remember much else about it.

I also wrote something in my notes about a haunting. I forgot all about it until just now looking at it. But I don't really remember the dream.

There was some weird dream about getting money from the bank. But the teller accidentally gave me this fat clip of hundred dollar bills.

Large dog attack
I'm in the house, standing by the front door. I'm looking out the storm door which is mostly glass. And there is this huge dog. His head would be about at my chest level.
After a few moments of watching it, afraid that it will attack. It does! It attacks the glass door. And is snapping and snarling. It eventually slams it's head through the glass, and is trying to break through the rest of the way. I run into the kitchen, and grab a heavy frying pan. I then go back, and start bashing the pan repeatedly into the dogs face. I'm hitting it so hard that the dogs neck actually bends as if it were made of metal. rather than skin and bone. With every hit it bends a little more, and it's face gets messed up a bit. I actually feel kind of bad for the thing. It eventually backs off. And I start to think about how I'm really being attacked this time. And I'm going to write about it in my journal. I don't even get the chance to think about doing a reality check though, because I wake up right away. Could have been Lucid there!

Reality check timer
I'm pretty surprised by this dream. I have not had my timer on in a couple of weeks because I have still not got the battery fixed in my watch. But I was going to do it on Sunday after work, but the stores were closed because of easter.

I'm at the house, some family members are there. My reality check timer starts going off. A family member says, "Oh it's time for a reality check!" So I do one, but I wake up just as I do it. I think I woke up because I had just entered the dream, and it wasn't that stable yet. But still pretty cool. I had that dream just because if thinking about getting my timer going again!


I Am The Tiger!
I had this dream that I knew I was a were-tiger. there were certain times when I would transform into a tiger.

There was this woman and a little girl. I was telling the woman about my ability to transform into a tiger. And that it was easier on certain days, but I believed I had the ability to control the transformation, I just needed a bit more practice. The rest of the dream I was sitting there trying to will myself into a tiger. I didn't succeed. I woke up before I did it. But it was pretty cool just believing I could do it.

In the books I'm reading there is a character that has become a were-tiger, so I guess I got it from that.

McDonald's
I'm at McDonald's, There is a line of people waiting to order. I'm sitting at a table near the line. I couple of teenagers come in and get in line. One of them starts talking about getting some REM rebound tonight. I wonder if he is into Lucid Dreaming, Maybe even a DV Member. I get up from my table and walk over there. "you ld?" I ask.
"What?" he replies. "Are you into Lucid Dreaming?" he says "No." Him and his friends are giving me a funny look now. And I explain that I thought maybe he was because of talking about REM rebound and stuff. Feeling a little stupid, I leave the building ans it's raining outside. There ws more to the dream, just some boring stuff about me eating a very greasy hamburger.

A lot of close calls last night, hopefully this dry spell will be over soon.

Last nights WILD attempt
I didn't really try to wild to much last night. I was not really into it. But I tried once after a short WBTB.

I hear somebody say," hey Caradon, throw me a biscuit." Then I enter a scene, where I'm standing outside near my work. There is a big pile of snow, and I see somebody standing on the other side of it. I notice I have a biscuit in my hand. So I throw it over the hill of snow, to the guy on the other side. Assuming that he wants the biscuit lol. he catches it and I wake up.

Yup it's over I Think. I had two good Lucids last night. I've only been sleeping for three hours so far. I'm on a little WBTB right now.

lets make it three!

No. I didn't get introduced to fantasy until quite late in my life (age 24). I've read some of the dragonlance stuff by Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman, but I haven't heard of Salvatore. I will have to check it out.

Yeah I liked the dragonlance too. That and the Darkwalker on Moonshae by Douglas Niles got me into fantasy. I read mostly horror stuff until then.

Salvatore created one of the greatest fantasy characters of all time.
Drizzt Do'Urden definitely something to check if you like Fantasy.

My other favorite fantasy writer is a guy named David Gemmell
You should check out the book "LEGEND" One of my favorites.
And it's not from that Tom Cruise move either lol.

Two Lucid Dreams
Monday/March/24/2008
Lucid Dream # 19 of 2008
Reality check induced Lucidity
This is my 100th countable and recorded Lucid Dream since retraining.

This dream started out as a false awakening I think. The first thing I remember is being in the bathroom of a childhood home, when I do a random reality check. I pinch my nose and I can breath. Instantly Lucid, I walk out into the living room and turn the light on. The light comes on, on the first try. And I think about what Sara said last time I was turning on lights in my dream.

I then decide I'm going to do the basic task of the month.(Forgetting that I decided to quite doing Tasks.) I step outside and it's night again." I think, great not again!" I don't see any cars to get hit by at all. I start walking in the direction of a highway I know is near by. For some odd reason I start hitting my arms together crosswise, and it feels so real that I think I'm hitting my real arms together. And that it's going to wake me up. With that thought, the dream fades into a false awakening.

I wake up in the same childhood home as before, where I had just started from. I do another random reality check, and I can still breath. But this time I'm confused and I don't believe it. I walk back outside. I'm in the same spot as before. and I begin walking towards the same highway as before. I've done reality checks a couple more times by this time and I can still breath, but am ignoring it because I still don't believe it. I'm with a friend now. I'm not sure where he came from. I think, there is a little bit I forgot about. We are walking across the parking lot of a restaurant, that is there in real life. And I start doing more reality checks. (Pinching my nose.)

I say to my friend," That's odd, my nose keeps trying to tell me I'm dreaming." I think about how it normally feels when I pinch my nose when I'm awake, and no air gets through at all. I now start to suspect, that I may actually be dreaming still. Along the outside wall of the restaurant, are lights set at intervals. I say to my friend," hold on, I'm going over by the light where I can see better." I walk over to where the light is.
And as I do, I look around and think about how odd it will be if this really is a dream.
everything looks and feels exactly like real life to me.

Once I get to the light, I hold up my hand to it and begin trying to push my finger through the palm of my hand. At first nothing happens, so I push really hard. My finger begins sinking into my hand! "Holy crap, it is a dream!" I get excited and begin climbing the wall. I climb it easy, and get up on the roof. I see a couple of people walking below. I decide I want to freak them out by jumping from the roof.(It's a decent height.) I yell down to them, but they ignore me at first. After a bit I get their attention. I run across the roof and leap into the air. I start to glide gradually down. But just for fun, I decide to relax and let myself fall like a rock. I fall and hit the ground hard.

I then get up and walk in the direction of the highway, trying to hurry. I wonder if the cars will try and stop instead of running me over.(even though that's never happened before.) My friend keeps getting in my way, making it hard to get to the road. I push him out of the way, and just about to jump into traffic when I wake up for real.

Lucid Dream # 20 of 2008
Same night as above
Reality check induced Lucidity
The end of tasking

I'm with a bunch of friends in a house. One of them is an old friend of mine. A bunch of stuff was going on that I don't remember all that well. I don't remember why, but I bring up Lucid Dreaming to my old friend. He seems interested, and I tell him he can learn to do it. I demonstrate how to do a reality check, and I can breath. I'm like WTF, It can't be. I take my finger, and push it into the palm of my hand. And it sinks in.

Lucid, I push my finger into my hand as far as I can, then turn my hand over and look at the other side. My finger is pushed completely through. I say to my friend "Look that's so cool! I pushed my finger completely through my hand! I hold it up and wiggle my finger a little bit. he believes that it's a dream.

I then remember that I want to freak some of the other people in the room out. I say to one guy,"Look what I can do." I run up the side of the wall and kick off, doing a back flip through the air, and landing on my feet.

The guy looks really confused, and says "What the hell!" I then levitate up to the ceiling and begin crawling across it upside down. I crawl across the ceiling to where my friend is sitting, doing some paper work below. I hang upside down and say, "Dude, you can do anything you could ever want to do right now, Why would you want to sit there and do paper work!" he says, "I have to get this done and faxed to such and such a place."

I laugh and say, " it doesn't matter, your wasting your time. you can't bring anything back to the waking world with you anyway! Lets go outside and go flying or something. He says, "oh yeah, thanks for reminding me." He gets up, and I float down from the ceiling. We both walk outside, and it's raining and cold. I remember I don't need to feel cold if I don't want. And walk right into the rain.

The front yard slopes down a hill to the road. Across the road is some houses, and beyond that, I can see a lake shrouded in mist. On the road, at the bottom of the hill there is a car parked. I see a huge boulder nearby, pick it up an throw it off the hill.
The boulder crushes in the roof of the car. I laugh and say," oops somebody is going to be pissed!"

I tell my friend that I'm going to go flying over the lake. I leap off the hill, and fly over the road and between the houses on the other side. I go sliding across somebody's balcony. there is a table with dishes, and other stuff on it. I knock them all off the balcony. I fly along between the buildings. And there are no walls on the sides of them now, so that I can see all sorts of people inside. And some nice looking girls.

At this point I think of the Lucid task again. I remember that I'm done with tasking, and decide not to waste my time trying to do some task. A sense of freedom washes over me, that I have not felt in my Lucids for a long time. And I fly out towards the lake.
I try to get higher, but my dreaming skills have gotten rusty because of to much time wasted on tasks!

I struggle to get higher. I see some junk floating through the air. I use TK on it, and send it floating away. But just barely. I then try using TK on myself, and it works at first, I start to lift myself higher. But I lose control and begin to sink again. I decide I don't really want to fly out over the lake if I can't even fly well. So I land, and go walking up between the buildings.

There are tons of people and rooms on either side of me. It's kind of a strange scene, hard to describe. There are some very nice looking girls, and I'm walking along checking them out. Not feeling shy about staring at all. I look all I want. I decide I'm going to play with the girls a little bit. I walk by examining all of their arses. And when ever I see one I like, I use both hands, to reach out and give both cheeks a nice squeeze. then move on to the next one.

People are all looking at me like I've gone mad. I play around with them for some time, when I see my friend come walking along. He goes into one of the rooms and is talking to some of the people there. I follow him in, and I assume he has told them that I know I'm dreaming. I jump into the air, and am able to levitate to the ceiling. I crawl across the ceiling again. I look down at the people staring at me and ask, "Are you afraid? Do you know who I am?" And I begin laughing like a maniac and say," I'm Freddy Krueger!"

I jerk out my hand with fingers spread, trying to will blades to grow out of the ends of my finger tips. Blades slowly begin to grow out of them, but I lose control and they slide back in and disappear. I see a guy wearing a brown hat, and striped sweater. I leap down to him, and say, "give me those cloths, There is only one Freddy Krueger in this dream, and thats me!" I grab his hat and pull of his sweater and put them on myself. I begin laughing like a crazy man again, until I wake up.

Comments

This was the longest Lucid I had in a long time. And I know the reason for it was because of not stressing out over whether I'm going to have enough time to complete some task. I was able to just relax and enjoy it. The first order of business is going to be to re-hone my TK and flying skills. I was pretty annoyed that I had trouble with doing that. It's normally so easy for me.

That was great. I just love doing lucid acrobatics like running up the walls. I don't think I've ever tried walking on the ceiling, though. I'll have to give that a shot some time.

And I love the part where you were flying around squeezing the girls' asses.

Congrats on all the lucids. And...I'm sure you've said this before but, how come you've decided to stop trying the tasks?

Great lucid mate!

Do you think not worrying about tasks gives you that much extra control and time in kucids? hmmm maybe I should try laying off the tasks for a while.

lol at the freddy krugar part

Yeah I know. I think I'm going to make that one of my Lucid Dreaming goals.
I tried transforming into an eagle once. I think, I only got about as far as sprouting wings. But that was cool too. It was a long time ago.

Yeah, I get the strangest things when I'm trying to WILD sometimes.

Yeah, Part of that was because of the FA. I thought I had already woken up.
Overcoming FA's is still pretty new to me I'm just glad I was eventually able to do it.

Yeah that stuff is a blast! I don't think I can go through a Lucid without doing some kind of acrobatics.

I love crawling on ceilings lol. I started doing that a long time ago. I was flying around a huge cathedral kind of place. And I just randomly stopped on the ceiling for a quick break, and to check out the view. It's pretty cool.

Originally Posted by Oneironaut

lol I couldn't resist, they were to perfect. I normally wake up when trying to have sex with them. But I can usually get away with a bit of random fondling.

Originally Posted by Oneironaut

Thanks. Well, I'm putting the task of the month on hold temporarily. I'll get back into that eventually. There are a lot of reasons I'm quiting general tasking. Basically, I just want to make my dreams my own again. I have a lot of personal goals to achieve that have been completely derailed because of so many tasks set by other people.

And I'm getting tired of feeling like I'm required to do such and such a thing once I get Lucid. I want to work on redeveloping dreaming skills that I've lost since I got out of Lucid Dreaming, and started relearning it again.
And I want to be able to feel free to do what ever random thing seems like fun to me at the time.

Between the task of the month, task's that were sent in a PM, and deep dreaming task's that are all based around Costenada anyway. (Something I'm not even slightly interested in.) There have just been way to many. So I'm getting out of it for a while.

I just want to have some fun.

Thanks mark. Well, I can't speak for everyone. But for me, yeah. When ever I think of a task, the first thing I do is worry about if I'm going to have enough time to complete it. And just worrying about waking up seems to make it happen. Or put me into a false awakening. I've found that the best technique for staying in a dream is to just not worry about waking up at all and relax.

And I'll definitely have more control, once I start practicing skills more.

I was feeling a little sinister there for a minute lol. It was kind of a fun evil feeling. I'll have to try making blades come out of my fingers again. That would be cool to do.

The jump
In a plane on some military mission. There is some girl with me who is a part of the military. We are going to jump from the plane, to parachute into some battle. I suddenly realize i don't know how to work the chute, and I ask the pilot how to release it. He shows me how to work a series of complicated switches and buttons that will release the chute. I'm not sure I have it figured out, and I'm not sure I will be able to do it correctly under the stress of falling from the plane.

The girl with me is experienced at this. So I tell her that I'm going to hang onto her while we jump so that she can make sure my chute gets opened. She is OK with this, and our jump site approaches. The door of the plane is open, and we half jump, half fall from the plane. The wind is blowing strong, and we are a bit wobbly at first, and I work to smooth out our fall. I'm thrilled, and I say to the girl."Yay we are flying, just like in a dream! We better do a reality check!" I start reaching for my nose to do one, but the wind throws us around a bit, and both hands are busy trying to get things smoothed out.

This moment feels different from any other dream I have had like this. And I don't really think it's a dream. But I'm still about to do a reality check anyway. ( I forgot to mention it's night.) We fall through some clouds, and beyond the edge of another cloud coming up. I see a sight so beautiful, that I'm momentarily distracted from my reality check.(Still have not forgotten I need to do one though,) We are falling down towards point's of light in the darkness. It's almost as if we are falling towards a star filled night sky. instead of the ground.

Dumb struck by the beauty of the moment, I say. " Oh wow look at that!" And we fly past the edge of that last cloud, and I wake up.

Comments
This was the tail end of a longer dream. I didn't feel like writing all of it. It was a little confusing anyway.
If this dream would have lasted a few moments longer. I would have gotten the reality check done, and been Lucid. This was a very amazing dream moment though, that's going to be with me for a while.

Alien in the closet
I'm cleaning out my closet when I see this box that looks like mice have been living in it.
I look closer and I see this very large rat sleeping in the box. I'm surprised that all my moving boxes around had not woken it up. It's hard to describe this part, but the next time I look I see this tentacled thing, injecting some poison into a cat. and when the cat is paralyzed, the thing eats it. The next thing I know the alien thing is out of the closet and is bigger than a person, it looks sort of like a jelly fish. It's a kind of red and purple color with a big head, and long stringy tentacles hanging off it. I run for help. I find my brother and tell him to get his gun. Because of the alien. He laughs at me, but he goes looking for a gun anyway.

Comments
This is a good example of what The Cusp was talking about.

I don't have as much time to be on the computer lately. That's why I have not been around as much.

Hey, so much blue in here the last few days! And an almost-lucid parachute jump. I think you get better all of the time.

Just do however much you can or feel like Caradon--even if the only thing you have time for is just keeping up with your journal, that's great, cuz it's inspiration for the rest of us.

Welcome back!

Thanks, definitely trying to get better all the time.

Yeah I'll for sure be writing dreams. At least on the nights when I can. I've been working later and getting late naps. So by the time I get what I need done around the house It's usually just about midnight already. Makes it hard to do anything. Plus with spring coming up fast, I'm going to want to spend as much time at the park with the dog as I can. But I'll be getting around the journals when I can too.

Thanks mark. Yeah I know there is nothing like it. I actually shouldn't even have needed a reality check in that dream. but oh well, At least I recognized the dreamsign.

Yeah that alien dream was pretty freaky. It was one strange looking alien I'll tell you.


Not really much to write about from last night. A couple of dreams about being at the mall. I had a hard time falling asleep. I did WILD into several scenes while trying to force myself asleep. but nothing really significant. I can't even remember all of them very well. Some of them I was lucid for a bit, some not.

I know, it's hard to do it all....

Yeah I know. The dream ended so soon though, that it wouldn't have mattered much anyway.


Fear
I'm in a car. My step dad is driving, and my mom is riding shot-gun. My brother and I are sitting in the back. We come to a wooden bridge, and are driving over it. My step dad is driving fast, and I can tell that the wood that makes up the road is rotting.

As we progress along it, I can see large holes in the road, where it has rotted away completely.
It gets so bad that I don't see any way that we can possibly make it across. I freak out and tell my step dad to stop. He stops, but he is intent on driving across. I'm to scared, so I tell him I'm getting out of the car. I get out, and he begins driving forward.
He doesn't make more than a foot before the car sinks through the rotted wood, and begins to fall.

I can see through the gap where the car fell through. And I'm horrified to see how far of a fall it actually is. The ground is far far below. I watch helpless as the car with my family tumbles end over end through empty air. the car finally hits the ground upside down. Crushing in the roof, and then bouncing and rolling a few times before coming to a stop. Stunned and in shock, I run back across the bridge. Once off the bridge I start making a mad run down the side of a cliff. leaping and skidding out of control, with little regard to my own safety. I'm expecting to see them all crushed, and torn apart. But I have to get down there and see.

Once to the car, I look inside. And there sits my family, fine and happy as can be. They are all joking about how fun that was, and they want to do it again!

Comments
I guess the DC's were getting back at me for all the time I spend freaking them out!

Actually, I think this was an attempt by my subconscious to get me Lucid. If I would have fallen with the car, I probably would have been Lucid.

Isn't that funny, when your SC saves yourself from a horrible dream at the last second? I've had that happen before. It's a relief, anyway. That seems like a situation you would get lucid in, running down like that.

Yeah, that could have really been bad.

Your right, I could have gotten Lucid either from falling in the car, or running down the cliff.

OMG LAWL!

Today has been a funny day on DV

Two Lucid Dreams

Lucid Dream # 21 of 2008
Tornado dreamsign recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

I'm having one of those weird bathroom dreams. I leave the bathroom and walk to the buildings exit, intending to go home. I step outside, and it's cloudy. I begin hearing storm sirens.(Just like in my last tornado dream.) I look around, and I can see the tornado off in the distance. It's tearing through the city, and I can see smoke from random fires throughout the destruction. The tornado is sweeping back and forth, and heading my way. I think about trying to make it home, But it's now to close and I don't think I can make it.

I go back inside, there are many people there, that are aware of the tornado. The tornado has swept across the landscape and is somehow coming at us from the opposite direction from where I first saw it. I don't feel to safe in this building, I don't think it will hold up to a direct hit. I go and look out the back window, and I can see the tornado not more than about fifty feet away. and coming right at us. It looks like a black wall. I go into the other room, and I think that this is like a tornado dream, and I should do a reality check. It feels kind of strange as I reach up to pinch my nose. Because I don't think it's a dream at all this time, and I'm seconds from being hit by a tornado for real. But I take the time to do a reality check anyway. And I can breath!

I want to double make sure, so I push my finger into the palm of my hand really hard. It starts to sink in, and this time I turn my hand over and watch as my finger pokes through the top of my hand. It's pretty cool, the skin on the top of my hand begins to rise, and my finger pops through it. I push it all the way through as far as I can. I show my hand to a near by woman. I wiggle the finger sticking through, and all the fingers on the other hand as well. She looks surprised, and I pull my finger out of my hand.

I tell the crowd to watch out the window, because I'm going to go jump into the tornado. I walk out the front door, and around the back. To my surprise, the tornado has now transformed into this girl I work with, and She is wearing a black dress. She is the tornado personified. I'm clear minded enough to think about this in the dream, and it makes sense to me. I can see her as being a tornado. She is a forceful person, and quite full of wind as well. And has really gotten on my nerves over the last two weeks.

She starts to walk away, and I shout " Hey tornado! Get over here! I'm going to kick your ass!" She stops, and I walk over to her. I jump right into her, like I was planning to jump into the original tornado. At first I phase right through here, because she is nothing but wind. (just like in real life.)

I then grab her around the waist with one arm, and take off flying with her. Intending to get her away from the building, to save the people inside. As I do, I'm wondering if they can see her as the girl, or if they still see her as a tornado. I imagine that if they see her as the tornado still, I must look like superman taking the tornado away from them.

I fly up with her, high above the buildings and the nearest trees. I here the girl gasp in surprise, and I realize that it's because of the amazing view spreading out before us. I say, "yeah I know, isn't that awesome? Thats' why I love Lucid dreaming so much."

I now remember that I wanted to practice my TK. And I remember my last lucid where it failed me, and I had trouble flying. As soon as think about that, I get a really weird tingly sensation in my stomach, and I begin to sink back to the ground. I wake up before sinking all the way back down.

Thanks to reality checking, I'm two for two on the tornado dreamsign.
Time to start renting tornado shows!
