I just had two LD’s! One right after the other! I think I’ve found my technique. But first let me tell you my dreams:
Dream Number One:
As usual, I’m lucid from the very start. No RC’s. For some reason, I’m on top of what seems to be a mayor’s building? I don’t know how, but I think I’ve been there. Maybe from the dream I was just in before. When I look down, I know where I am. I’m at the crosswalk i always take on the route to school. The building itself is a greyish pale blue. Now, I’m looking around, my first instinct is to fly, as usual. I also really want to try the Dream Clock. I always forget to stabilize, but it never seems to matter. I look around for a place to take off, when I notice that the two big double-doors (Yes, on the roof) have something behind them, like plants and roots. I always assumed they were service doors, nothing spectacular. I push them open. I am amazed! There are stairs leading down further and wider then the building is. They are marble, with a red colored, gold-trimmed drape leading down into a door. There’s no lighting except for the sun behind me, so the bottom is very dark. But the stairs widen out progressively, so it’s like a triangle room. On the edges of the stairs are purple pansies, just rooted into the marble. On either side of the door is a little tree. I start heading down the stairs. I open the door to find a grocery store type place. Linoleum floor, checkout stand, etc., but the isles were like black foam. I walk in slowly, admiring it. when I get near the closest isle, some guy in a blue jumpsuit come over to me. He is dark-skinned,and has short hair. He grips my wrist very tightly. “You’re under arrest,” he says angrily. I’m confused now. I yank my arm away. “Actually, sir, I beg to differ. I am the Queen of Everyone, Everything, and Everywhere, so you are fired. Send him to the Executioner!” I say. He grabs my arm again and pulls me towards the checkout. “That’s not in our policies,” he says. “Let me see,” I say, and he shoves me in front of the computer with the cashier lady. I notice she has short, orange hair, and not natural orange either. I flick her hand off the mouse and look at the computer screen. It’s weird, it can only fit like ten of these huge program icons. I move some around and doubleclick on one, I can’t remember what it said. It looked like some scripts. I don’t understand it, but now two dudes were stomping over to me, the same blue jumpsuits. I kinda get scared at this point. I jump on top of some crates. “I can fly, because is a dream and I can do anything,” I say loudly, and I spread my arms and jump. I land flat on my face. I get up and run outside to a door that now has materialized. I am on top of a part of the building that wasn’t there before. I go down its slope and go into the other building on top of it. It has blue carpet, very ugly. If you go down the slope, there’s a sort of convenience store. On the right, there’s a catwalk that lead to two doors. I look at the convenience store guy. He looks like Casey from Chuck. He’s wearing a headset, and he’s saying to it, “I think the gir’ls onto us.” At this point I try to calmly walk onto the catwalk-thing, watching another woman go into a door called something ‘heart’ something. I go into the door next to it. I’m at the door where I was when I discovered the grocery-place. I’m beginning to think it’s a black market. Inside my head, I see someone speaking to me, and a slideshow of directions. “If you go through that door, you can escape,” it says, “but don’t get caught.” I start sneaking towards the door, when the lady I saw go into the other door is there, holding a cart with a child tagging along. don’t know what to do if they see me. The voice starts up again, “Hide under there,” giving me a picture of a cushioned bench thing. I dive under it, the drapey thing hiding me. The voice says, “They won’t find you, but you must be careful! If even just your tail sticks out, you’ll be caught.” Tail? I turn to my right. Lo and behold, there’s a puffy orange tail sticking out from under the drapey thing. I snatch it and pull it in. It feels weird to have a tail. But then, the child starts poking it and lifting up the drape and feeling under it, talking about a puppy. But when he lifts it up, he sees me, he shrieks, I panic and get out. Now that I’m typing this, I wonder why I’m so scared. Where is jail, anyway? I could probably escape it. But at the moment, I was pulled in by the story. I run for the escape place, but the two jumpsuit guys come for me. I run, out to the door behind the cashier. I’m on a balcony now. Without even thinking about it, and jump out of the balcony and fly. I wasn’t really focusing on fly, more like just getting away from the guys. My dream ends.
Dream Number Two:
I’m where I was last dream, at the crosswalk. Now my sole intention is to fly. I squat, flap my arms and run, taking off and over the park trees. I smile as I enter the clouds, which are just over the trees. I fly through the clouds, and it was fun! When the clouds clear, I can spot a sandy place with some buildings and people, so I circle over it and swoop down, landing on a metal thing that stuck out of the rock wall. A guy in a black army uniform yells at me from below. I think I lost my lucidity at this point, but the dream was fun. It was about those officer guys making orphaned children work, and They made me work with them. I then befriended this girl with short, boyish hair, and she lived upstairs of a barn with a buffalo-bear thing. That buffalo-bear never moved, but it was warm. The girl’s name was Evan (ee-VON), and she let me sleep next to her on the bear-thing. There’s a lot more to it but whatever.
Now, for the technique that always seems to work for me. I never before TRIED to use this, but it seems to work. I’m pretty sure it’s not gonna work for anyone else, however.
-
Be really tired. Wake up from a dream or just go to bed really, really tired.
-
Be close to falling asleep.
-
Say something along the lines of, “I’ll have a lucid dream tonight!”, or “Good, I just woke up, I’ll have a lucid dream.” But you have to really believe it. (Before, I was super tired and just said to myself, “Lucid dream,” or “I should do an LD technique,” before instantly falling asleep and reaching lucidity.)
-
If all goes well, you should fall asleep within a few seconds if you just woke up, or within a minute if you’re just falling asleep. Yay, lucidity!
Well, I only woke up to write these down so that I wouldn’t forget. This is very good to me. My last lucid dream was in April. Anyways, I’m still super tired and need to go back to sleep, even though I felt very good and energized when I woke up. Wish me luck!
