Thread: Night Explorer's Explorations of the Night

Here is my dream journal. I had an accidental DILD and now I want to have more of them! I am an aspiring artist and I want to have lots of lucid dreams where I can get my inspiration!

Here is the first dream in my journal... and it is a weird one! I died! I don't think I've ever died in a dream before!

Bedtime: 11/22/09 2:30 a.m.

I am walking down a street with trees on both sides. It is where I used to live when I was in High School. I see a dog I know running towards me to greet me. I reach down and pet the dog. It is a Golden Retriever. The dog and I continue walking towards my school. The dog is talking to me. The dog speaks with the voice of Scooby Doo.

Dog: Ror roing roo ret rot!

I don't understand what the dog is saying. I tell the dog I have no Scooby Snacks. He repeats his previous statement.

Dog: Ror roing roo ret rot! Rot!

The dog looks behind me and snarls. Then true to the dog he sounds like he turns and runs away with his tail between his legs. I look behind me. A man is walking towards me with an automatic weapon. He points it at me. I am scared. I run from the man. I am looking for something to offer cover. I hear him fire. I feel dull pains as the bullets tear into my back. It doesn't hurt nearly as much as I'd expected. Maybe my body is in shock. I fall over on the ground. I feel so cold. I know I am dying. And then I wake up.

Awake: 11/22/09 10:00 a.m.

That is so cool you want to induce lucid dreams for inspiration. A beautiful idea.

Dying in dreams isn't actually much. I killed myself in a lucid dream. No biggie.

I am at an amusement park. I am there with my mother. We are going around to all of the best rides. There is a large portion of the park that is underground. This is where all of the eateries and gift shops are. My mother and I go into the underground area to get something to eat. My mother is waiting in line at one of the eateries. The line is long. I tell her I am going to look at a nearby gift shop and I will be back when she gets closer. I leave and start browsing at the gift shop. There are lots of interesting little things. I reach into my pocket to see how much money I have to spend. I have nothing. I see a couple of things that I know my mother would like. I see something I would like. I am tempted to shoplift. I look around to see if anyone is watching. No one is. I pocket a pair of earrings I know my mother will love. I am too nervous to shoplift the thing I wanted now. I hurry from the shop before I am caught. My mother is at the front of the line now, but it is no longer for an eatery. Now it is for a roller coaster. She tells me it is the best one there. Five loops. Guaranteed to make us puke. I wonder why she wants to puke. I give her the earrings. She loves them but says I shouldn't have spent the money. I told her I didn't spend much. She hugs me and walks away from the roller coaster without riding. I guess she doesn't want to puke any longer. This is where I wake up.

What age did you feel you were in this dream?

I'm not really sure... I think about 16. I am 25 now, but in many ways I still feel like I'm 16!

I have read some of your dream journal. You have awesome dreams! Yours and Raven Knight's. I hope I can get to the point where I can dream like that! And you really share dreams? I would have never thought that was possible, but there it is!

I am at a friend's house. Her name is Alice. I am ready to go home. She has to go to school. It is a strange time of day for her to go to class. I wonder if she has something else she is doing. I leave her house. The ground is shaking. That is odd. I have never been in an earthquake in Tucson! I look towards the mountains. There is thick black smoke coming from the mountains. I also see lava spewing into the sky. But there is no volcano in the Catalina mountains! I don't stop to consider that. I am thinking I have to get home. I have animals there. And my mother is there. I have to get them out before the lava reaches them. I get in my car and start heading towards home. I am going the opposite direction of all of the other cars. They are driving away from the volcano and I am driving directly towards it. A couple of people stick their heads out their car windows and tell me I'm crazy and I deserve to die a horrible fiery death. I think that is extreme. I close my window so I don't have to hear them. I am looking for roads that aren't blocked by lava. I come to a place where I can't get past. Lava is blocking the road. But I have to get past! I find out my car can fly. It takes off and flies over the lava. But cars don't fly! The only way this car could be flying is if I am dreaming! I become lucid! On purpose! I am so excited to be lucid. What do I want to do? I have a flying car! I can go anywhere! But where? I remember reading Dreamviews dream journals about a tower on the moon. I want to see it. I pull back on the steering wheel to make the car fly higher. I don't see the moon... It must be on the other side of the planet. That's ok. It can't be too hard to find. I fly higher and higher. The flight is so exhilarating that I feel like I am about to wake up... and I do.
