LD3

A short entry.
It's hard to remember what occurred in the dream before the point of lucidity. I remember only that I was standing, no knowledge of my surroundings. I was looking at my hands and then asked for my guide or higher self. A pause of silence and either I re-entered a complete dream state or I simply woke up soon after.

LD2

An interesting dream... Where it started I can't remember but where it ended made it quite unforgettable.

From what I can remember, before entering into lucidity, I was set up in a very Western middle/upper class bedroom. I was not alone. In the bedroom with me, pacing anxiously, was the vivacious Val Fil.

Like in the dreams of many she called me to her and full of lust we ravaged each other (apparently I was already naked). However, she abruptly stopped me from kissing her to mention something along the lines of concern for being late for an important event.

The dream changed quickly and physically as I observed my surroundings molding into a backstage guest room area. She was already leading me out of the bed and towards the doorway and I somehow managed to put clothes on. In a matter of seconds we entered through the door to a HUGE concert venue and, unexpectedly for me, heading towards the stage from behind a mass of security and staff holding back a wall of people. From the edge of the stage back as far as the eye could see was a mass of people.

I was out in front and Valeria had some how disappeared. It very quickly became obvious, as I noticed the band waiting on stage, that I was to take the role of lead vocalist. Still on the way to the stage a single fan, with long black hair and dressed all in black, managed to squeeze past security and even had the fortune to be able to wait for me before I got on stage.

He was very happy to see me and I gave the fan a hug. He said something of importance for the dream but unfortunately I can't remember what. Security managed to gain optimal control of the crowd and took the lucky fan away. As they did one of the security staff mentioned to me, "That was a bad idea." I guess I still hadn't realized my roll as a truly amazing and apparently quite famous artist.

I took to the stage and warmed up the audience all of whom were reving to throw down. Even I was amped with anticipation and I looked to the band, focus and determination in their eyes. Cued the DJ and we were about to rip this show apart, but then the music started. It was soft and dreary. The band and myself stood in shock for a moment before glaring at the DJ to set things straight as he fumbled with the controls. At this moment though, the dream went completely lucid. It was as if the interruption was intentional.

As I came into consciousness I recalled the last lucid dream that I had and that perhaps I lost control because I was not using my triggering mechanism enough (my hands). For a time I seemed to be checking my hands every couple of seconds. I was super excited and determined to have a long and effective lucid dream.

I lept off the stage and into the crowd, which was now completely silent and simply staring. Not an uncomfortable stare but simply a look of interest and curiosity. I attempted to will myself into flight but failed. After the moment of failure I was stuck by the thought that someone else was in the dream with me! Perhaps I could communicate with them (yes still confused as to the power of a lucid dream). At this point I had walked pretty far into the crowd. I called out to Val and searched the crowd for her quite quickly and effortlessly. It dawned on me that she had disappeared after entering through the doorway heading towards the stage.

It was as if everything in the dream was still, like a captured moment that I was able to explore. So I thought that if she had left my side when I entered near the stage then that is where she must be located. I made my way rapidly towards the stage and spotted her almost immediately. I was however forgetting to check my trigger mechanism and, without my knowing, I was losing control over the dreamscape.

I embraced her and began making out passionately and soon lucidity was completely lost and the dream took control and memory fades.

"Circumstances" from the nightlife before I fell asleep probably played a large roll in the sexual nature of the dream.

Lucid Dreaming 1st Lucid

Lucid dreaming is a term used to describe the state of consciousness when a person becomes "awake" during a dream. Lucid dreaming can be used as a means of spiritual growth or for pure fun because in this state one is in almost complete control of their environment. For more information on lucid dreaming please feel free to check out: Spirit Science or in5d

My journal looks exactly the same!
This will be my first entry on my own personal experiences which can be quite personal. I hope you enjoy reading these for the sake of entertainment and not as a guide to learning how to lucid dream, sorry. I hope, however that if the reader has experienced lucid dreaming them self they can relate to my stories.

These are republished from my personal dream journal and I highly recommend that if you wish to start lucid dreaming that keeping a dream journal is a good step in the right direction. Enjoy!
 
Finally after four attempts I managed a lucid (I had been practicing different of inducing lucid dreams for the past four nights). This occurred while I was sleeping in reception (I was working at a hostel which has a bed in the reception office for 24 hour service). When I became lucid I maintained control of the dream for about less than what I perceived as 30 seconds. Triggering the lucid state might have been helped by listening to a website called rainymood.com. I was in a dream state before finding the trigger mechanism (triggering mechanism refers to an object or body part you designate in your mind, after practicing, to use in order to trigger lucidity), which I designated as my hands. Dream consciousness began when I made attempts at personal flight (you know, like superman).

I was outside in what appeared to be a parking lot behind what was possibly a large materials outlet. As I grew more conscious I made sure to look at my hands. I believe there may have also been trees around me or at least for sure I know that there was at least one that I climbed when I had  initially failed to simply lift myself up off the ground.
Oh shit! Save me Dave!
Trying to fly, for me, was difficult. I couldn't just stand there and will myself, I had to try jumping. Finally after several attempts I was overcome with joy when I was finally off the ground and flying away from the tree, however without much control like an astronaut after an unfortunate mishap in space. I was eager to travel around my dreamscape! However when I turned my attention to the sky my attention was pulled into something very luminescent, to say the least.

No it wasn't you but close enough.
I was awe struck. It was like I had just started on a really great mushroom trip. It was powerful. However I can't quite remember what it was. It was so jarring to see this awesomeness (and actually this effect repeats itself in many of my lucid or near lucid dreams), when it occurred I began to loose lucidity. The only way I can describe it is similar to the presence of something massive like a sun with planetoids orbiting or perhaps simply floating around it. All were yellowish gold in color and all that it brought to my mind then other then the sun was perhaps a "great eye". I was fixated, perhaps hypnotized and could not maintain control. Lucidity was lost and I could not will myself into flight. Memory fades...
