Fragment: A man hosting a show about lucid dreaming, "Be Who You Want To Be!"
I wasn't really into LDing at the time, but I did have one dream where I had the whole Peanut gallery in my car trunk.
I wish I could be given a second chance.
I was invited to a very fancy party and I needed to dress formally...I didn't have a nice dress so I went to a store to get one. In the dressing room I was trying on all of these fancy dresses and every time I looked into the mirror, the image would change into somebody else. Each time I would try on a different dress and look in the mirror the image would go from a woman to a man. I thought to myself, "I must be dreaming" and I walked away from the mirror. WTF???!!! :mad:
Sigh...I'm really getting tired of posting in this forum.
I get the same thing. I looked in the mirror and I was dressed like someone from the hunger games. I thought it was funny and continued dreaming.
Once I was with my internet friends I have never met in person, and they were at my school. We stole the almighty hotdog from the chocolate temple and got put in jail. A talking pokemon said that if we weren't in jail we would have been captured by the pancake gods and made their delicious slaves. I thought that all of this was completely normal.
Another time I was shot in the head and the only thing I thought was "Crap. I had better get a bandage."
Clearly, your subconscious knew that it was completely irrational for a hotdog to belong in a chocolate temple, and stealing it was the logical solution. No way to get lucid from that.
I'm involved in a particular dream scene, just following along in typical zombie-like ND fashion. All of a sudden, I start feeling light on my feet. Sort of like beginning to faint. This happens a few times and I wonder what's going on. Then I am pulled very quickly up into the air. I think "whoa, is it possible to WILD in the middle of a dream?!" because it feels like a transition into a different dream! It then transitions into an awesome flying dream where I'm conscious that I'm exercising flying control (it's not a natural built-in ability like in other flying dreams). The whole thing felt almost lucid while flying, I even consulted a disembodied "guide" on how to fly vertically since I had trouble doing that. One of my most memorable and vivid flying dreams yet even while ND.
I was stressing about a doc appointment in a nonlucid. So we're headed to the clinic, and the receptionist calls be just before when I believe that I will be having a 10am appointment. She asks me "We decided to call you to see if you would like to make an appointment today." I said, "Um yeah, called yesterday, made it for 10am today." She said, "Well ,we didn't know." I asked "Well, if you didn't know, then how come you knew to call me and ask me AT the time of the scheduled appointment? Plus you have my new number that I gave yesterday at the time of making the appointment, so..." Then I forget what she said to that, but then she asked me, "Well, the doctor can only check one side. So which side would you like?" Me: " :| Which side of what?" Then I remember me and her arguing about this, because it made no logical sense "Which side," but she was sticking to her guns. So I said to her "You know, probably my laryngitis is preventing you from understanding my questions," so I handed the phone to my bf, hoping for better. He gave the phone back to me and said "Yeah, which side?"
I grabbed the phone and yelled "MA'AM, WE'LL GO WITH THE LEFT SIDE. SEE YOU AT 10???!!!????!!!"
"Ok :) "
I woke up soooooooooooooo mad lol. If only I had gotten lucid from that, I would have made her eat my phone.
Hello! :D Recently, I've been attempting to have lucid dreams (no success yet, but I think I'm getting there... ish.)
Well, last night I had a dream I was in school again. I got my schedule and looked at it. There was a bunch of stuff, but what my dreamself saw immediately was...
5. Consciousness
(In this exact font and size.)
It was bigger than the others, but you know what my dreamself thought?
".... Consciousness...?"
Then continued on his (my) merry way. That got me so mad when I woke up this morning because I didn't use it as a LD Trigger. :roll: I do find it kinda funny though.
What are some obvious LD Triggers/Dream Signs that your dreamself overlooked? :cheeky:
I once had a dream where a dream character told me I was dreaming, then said "Ok, if I'm dreaming I can do whatever I want" then I did whatever my unconscious wanted (as in I didn't become lucid but my dreamself was acting as if it was a dream).
One time I had a dream where I was giving a presentation to my school about lucid dreaming, I was explaining what they are and how to get them and stuff like that. I even demonstrated several reality checks, but you know what, I didn't get lucid. I was mad at first to, but now I just find it funny that I didn't realize anything was up. Don't worry about it, you will get there eventually, just keep on questioning your surrounding and do RC's and RRC's
I was talking with someone about shared dreaming and lucid dreaming :eek:
I'm so excited to try out a new toy, it's an astral projection machine! I dial in 10 minutes on the timer, watch a hypnotic light switch on and off... I feel drunk, then weightless... and then I'm floating! I fly around the room, ecstatic, yelling "THIS IS AWESOME! It's like a lucid dream, but I don't have to be asleep for this!!"
:roll:
I'll show you, stupid machine, I don't need you. :P
Man this is a wicked tough dry spell. Let me count the ways just last night:
+ I'm playing with a toy light-saber, I think this would be a great tool to help incubate a lucid dream about having a light-saber.
+ DC tells me I have chapped lips. I notice then smacking them together that they feel a bit puffy. I look in a mirror and see I have like 4 hair-roller-sponges pressed together instead of lips. "Yeah, they're pretty chapped" I say........!!!!!!!!!
+ We're driving by a supermarket then all of a sudden we're parking our car inside a small office. I'm embarrassed by this. The car is all of a sudden the size of a child's toy push car. I start pushing the car (which is still really heavy) around, to get it out of the office, all the while telling the office workers how my first car was really small and I like really small cars.
last night, I dreamed of riding a giant robot, Pacific Rim style, and fought those little red robots-they where very tough . The really weird(but was totally amazing) is that the whole dream was in camera angles, like watching a movie. I wasn't a part, but felt like the giant robot, just a spectator. But I tell you, it was an amazingmovie, I even thought "oh no, what about the people in the buildings?!", but not any of the giant robots and all lol:lol:.
There was a good one right when I started lucid dreaming a few years ago, or at least practicing lucid dreaming. Lucidity was written everywhere, literally. I'm not typing figuratively. It was all over the damn place. I woke up and just banged my head against the wall a couple of times, probably in attempt to knock myself out so I can redeem myself, but to no avail.
Some days back, I had been concentrating on recognizing a dream-sign - our old house - if it shows up - then Iīm dreaming.
It is ripped down in real life - and it used to be at the other end of Germany, too.
I was always sad about it being gone.
So next dream - I stand in front of that house - and think, whoa - it looks soo real - thank the heavens - I am not only dreaming of it again.
Looking at the fine-grained texture of the outside wall - didnīt come to my mind to for example look at my hands instead..:roll:
A sort of similar problem I've been having: I transferred to doing virtual school this schoolyear and ever since Summer break started I've been constantly having dreams about transferring back or being in public school (not really sure what it means). I keep telling myself that I'll do a reality check whenever I'm in school but I never think about it when I dream about it--I think I've actually transferred back to public school.Quote:

Appearing in and around my childhood home is my #1 dreamsign. I vigorously incorporated this into visualizations/mantras last month and got a handful of lucids. I need to keep it up. It annoys me every time I appear there and don't get lucid, because I live very far away from it and almost never go there now.Quote:

Once I checked DV and i looked over something that said what if this is all a dream. I skip over these usually but I looked around and commented on how its not a dream because everything shined perfectly in this pitch black environment
Once, I was actually lucid and it felt so real, I said to myself; 'let's go lucid now'
And bang, I woke up.
LDception
I had a dream about meeting my crush. I didn't know what her voice was like in real life, so I thought "Sweet! Now that I've actually heard her voice, I'll be able to put it in my lucid dreams!" and I didn't bother doing a reality check. The really weird thing, though, is that once I actually did meet her in real life, her voice was very, very similar, if not exactly like it was in the dream.
Saw a third of my house missing, like cut off and asked my dad what the fuck was going on, to which he replied "One third of the house is missing" (Like.. no shit)
Didn't suspect a thing
Last night I dreamed I was in Spain. I walked down a street and was looking at some dark blue rainclouds. A streetsign caught my eye, saying "Lucid Dream Avn". I thought it was odd, but I never came to realize I was dreaming. Damnit brains :(
