So I decided I'm making a dream log. Hopefully it will help me become more of a lucid dreamer. These past few nights I've been waking up after about 3-4 hours of good sleep, and I can usually force myself either back into the dream I was previously having. Most often I just fall back into the dream, and continue on not realizing that I'm dreaming. But sometimes I do realize it, and that's when things get awesome. If the realization doesn't wake me back up, I can control what I dream about. So far it's been stuff like faces of people I hung out with during the day, or places I was. But I'm hoping, with practice, I can become fully lucid, and possibly gain full control, kind of like Inception, except without entering other peoples' dreams.
Well anyway, I'm going to post dreams I have, lucid or not, and hopefully I'll gain a better memory out of it.
Dream 1 -
I was in some old mansion's front courtyard, and in an arcade-style fight with this vampire-like monster. The only thing I remember about it, was that it had tentacle-like appendages with blood-sucking fangs on the end, instead of the usual fangs in the mouth. As we fought, it would launch one of it's tentacles at me, and lodge the fang into one of my teeth(?). He would then proceed to siphon blood and this would heal him (noted by the obvious health bar floating above his head) and damage me equally. I then had to remove the tooth that his fang was attached to, from my jaw. The fight went on, and after I had lost a majority of my teeth, I finally had slain the beast. After the fight I entered the mansion, and looked in an old dusty mirror. After about 15 minutes of looking at my lack of teeth, I realized I could smile in a way to look as if I still had all of my teeth.
I then woke up for unknown reasons. It was about 4:30 am, and I tried to fall back to sleep, and managed to enter a half lucid trance. I thought about the dream I just had, and as I thought, I could vividly see different things from the dream, but I could still feel myself laying in my bed. So I thought about people I saw in class the previous day, and I could see them, clear as day. I was amazed by this, and kept going, thinking of different things, anything that came to mind, and I was able to recreate them flawlessly. After what seemed like hours of this, I snapped back to full consciousness. I looked back at the clock at only a few minutes had passed. I tried again to fall back into the lucid dream or whatever state I was in, but I couldn't.
I laid in bed for another half hour or so trying and eventually just fell back to sleep.
Dream 2 -
I was at Boyne Mountain with my brother, and we decided to play a game of "Don't Touch the Water". The goal was to make it from one side of the water park to the other, going through all of the obstacles (many of which do not exist at the actual park) without, obviously, touching the water. Well I attempted jumping across a 20+ foot wide pool, and when I realized I wasn't going to make it, I did this motion like a jellyfish, and launched myself to safety (much like a double-jump in Super Smash Bros.). I quickly mastered this, and taught Matt how to do it, and we continued our game all over the water park. Right as I landed on the other side of the park, and it's weird how dreams tend to do this, I woke up to the Six Flags theme on my alarm clock.
