Some past Lucid Dreams - Chrono List:

I'll start off by saying that although I'm new to posting, I've read a lot of the forums.

I've had LD's many times before also, when I didn't know what they were called.

Although a failure, heres' my first one from the time I started reading this website. I'm really looking for input and suggestions for what to do when I go lucid, since it happens a lot for me. I'll add to this list with all the others I can remember as soon as I get time:

1). It started as an ordinary dream. I was running across a cities streets - crowded with old buildings, sometime past sundown. All I can remember distinctly is that I was chasing someone(s), and I could hear the tap of their feet just ahead. In the dream I suddenly make a wide leap-jump from the ground to the wide aluminum & brick roof of one of the taller buildings, with a slightly raised, artsy roman temple setup covering it. I then notice that someone, probably the people I was chasing, left a collection of pocket pc devices (high tech cellphones, palm pilots and minicomputers') all around the roof slant, almost like they were growing there - . I pick one up, playing with it, and I remember thinking about it strangely, like it didn't belong on a roof. At that moment I became lucid.

I knew I was lucid, I knew it was a dream and I start getting excited and eagar to try a lot of things as once, thinking about all my new possibilities. It was a bad move, as I notice suddently that the details of the open roman forum structure around me become fuzzy and pale, and then it seems that the remaining color of the world (a mix of reds and greys, from the brick and the concrete) begin to fade to black, and I start to feel my bedcovers. One thing I specifically remember was - just then - I saw who I was chasing, vaguely. It was a group of women, three of them facing me in exact angles, I think.

Frantically I spin around, and as I do the details become clearer once more. It was all I could remember from the guide I had read here, and luckily I was pulled back into the dream. A moment later, my alarm went off, and I woke up. Bah.

2). It started off as another dream. I was at someone elses' house, and walking up the stairs. The house was immaculately clear, new like no one else had lived there, and whomever I was with was just moving in. I looked at my host, and saw he was what appeared to be an eight year old kid. He told me he was taking me to his room to show me his magic card collection. I get to his room, which is big, white, and sort of dim, like a second story room with windows in broad daylight covered by thick shades.

The only object in there were a few boxes in the center, and one of them was open. The kid stood next to me as I looked through his cards, flipping through them one at a time. I was astounded at the great detail and unusual pictures they showed - incredible sights that I will probably never remember, but looked completely unique. As I kept flipping through the collection, I got a strange feeling - and I notice that the magic cards were all from *my* collection! I stand up - angry at the kid, and then realize I just became lucid. The kid has entirely disappeared.

My second time at lucidity, I got a little risque and conjured up a woman, to see how far I could take this new skill. She appeared by walking up behind me, and led me to an oddly incongruous wooden door with a bronze handle, which she opened. I closed the door, and In there - I don't *quite* remember what happened, only that I lost lucidity rather quickly. Doing that wasn't the best idea, lesson learned.

// Later that same night, with what felt like a continuation of the same dream sequence, I dream't something else. I had just gotten out of an indoor pool area with a few other people around, all of whom looked like malfunct members of some obscene circus, like the one you'd expect to see the characters in spawn make. The people looked real, just unpolished. The entire area was dark, dimly lit by some circus attractions - like a merry-go-round on half-lights and some other contraptions, all around the huge pool with its dark waters.

A strawberry-blond headed child was playing catch with a big fat clown with too much makeup and a large, exposed belly. All of a sudden, the clown threw the ball to me, and I caught what looked like a rubber ball, with metal spikes, dripping from the pool water. It poked me, and I tossed it to the child, who was completely unbothered. We continued like that for a little while, until I heard struggling from near the water behind me (I was standing on the ledge of the pool). I remember trying to help the drowning victim, and pull him to shore, amidst the entire entourage of the circus laughs'. I remember objecting vehemontly to the actions of this strange group and their laughter at the misforture of one of their own, and I remember swimming around for a while. - Not sure why I put this here, but it seemed strange.

I believe this should go in the dream journals forum
