[QUOTE=teh_1337_r0XX0r;27856299]Whoa, what? That means something? Like, you're sure?
So I've had this week off, and I was going to LD for it. But my stupid dental surgery is making things really annoying... I had trouble sleeping because I couldn't find a pain-free position for my face.
Also, the swelling makes me look like Richard Nixon.[/QUOTE]
Yes, because the dream actually made sense in parts and was related to the real world in some ways.
Apparently the French city having British money and not being posh made it seem that France had been taken over by Britain. The lead and gold references war and the desire for wealth of some sort. The French/Russian girl shows the two kinds of people I don't like whilst the 16 years indicates something momentous happens involving that date and the girl. That is my friends interpretation anyways.
I really should go to sleeep..

Huh. Sorta makes sense... I guess...
So I've been getting songs stuck in my head all day long, except parts keep skipping. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to mean something (because of how persistent it's been; like, I [i]mean[/i] all day), but I can't figure out what. Decided I would be able to stop once I posted it, gonna see if it works

When songs loop in my head, its usually because my mind cant remember the end of the song, and thinks: "If it dosn't have an ending, [b]THEN IT CAN'T END![/b]"
My solution is to listen to the song once, no matter how much I hate it. Just to give it an ending and make it stop.
I had another strange dream, but it was fragmented and had continuity in it.
I remember going to Paris again and going through the exact same streets, but it was slightly different, it was darker and there were no British people or things anywhere on the streets or in buildings as opposed to the previous dream. Next I slide down an embankment into a courtyard were there was a long table. I went over and dined with classmates from school but it was odd. The waiters automatically brought the courses without them being ordered and did it the wrong way around. (pudding and then main course) I then bid them farewell and went off to my house to put on a bowler hat. I looked in the mirror to see myself with the hat on but I ended up seeing Eddie Murphy in the mirror instead. I went off with a rifle I somehow had and was in a uniform and went off to someplace. Apparently the bowler hat acted like a helmet.
This one is curious because it's the same place as in the dream, but seems to be set at a different time and the streets were generally darker. Another odd thing is that whenever I see various random objects around my house IRL or elsewhere I suddenly have this overpowering feeling of Deja vu and remember the chunk of the dream involving that. I remembered the army bit because I saw a rifle in my fathers gun cupboard and saw my bowler hat on a hat stand. I remember Eddie Murphy because I went into the bathroom and saw the same mirror. I remembered the restaurant because when I flipped through my dream diary I saw the part about my previous dream and remembered this one.
Very odd.
I think I had a semi(WBTB?)-lucid last night, Something happened, I did an RC(finally), it failed, I knew it was a dream. I wandered around for a minute or so, then i saw a nuke in the sky, and woke myself up so I don't feel myself burning up. I then woke up into a FA.
Why are most people's subconscious female?

Apparently your subconscious is meant to be somewhat an opposite of you.
I can't seem to get lucid again. I can't wake up from my alarm either. How do I fix this?
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;27871672]Apparently your subconscious is meant to be somewhat an opposite of you.[/QUOTE]
No, I'm pretty sure it's just Freudian.
That or with so many people saying so here, it passes as normal, which means it happens more; etc.
Also, females are supposed to have a closer connection with emotions, which when combined with dream logic, could naturally result in a female sub.
So I had two dreams last night, one of which was very long by my standards. I.e. longer than a full-length movie. Since that was my first one, I only remember it was sort of about going to college on Naboo, and consequently at times regarding the ethics of robotics; during the tour I took (while sorta possessed by the robotic orb/tour guide doing evil recon), I noticed a class called "Chinese Programming", which was a current programming course. I thought that was a bit racist, since the expansion of humanity would pretty much necessarily involve the spread of Chinese culture. You know, like in Firefly. Of course, I forgot the whole "Galaxy Far, Far Away" bit.
Anywho, the second one was much more poignant:
[QUOTE=teh_1337_r0XX0r]I was attending my old school, and my teacher was my dad, ex-President Herbert Hoover. Somehow, I just knew that at about 3, he would leave complaining of a headache, lay down in a bed at the nurse's station, and die. When the time came, I left the class to find him, but he wasn't with the nurse, or anywhere near. I finally found him drinking in the cafeteria with some other teachers. He left with me, and I told him I loved him, and said my goodbye. He said goodbye back, knowing what was going to happen, and I went back to my class, knowing that he was going to the nurse to lay down, and hence die. I secretly cried, and after a few minutes, I decided that despite potentially ruining my moment with him, I had to see his body. A classmate asked what I was doing, and I said I had to see him one last time. As I left the classroom, full-on crying, the dream ended.[/QUOTE]
The really weird thing is that my dad in real life is a teacher at that school, and indeed did teach some of my classes there. But... I just don't feel like it was meant to mean my dad.
Also, I realized there was a difference between Herbert Hoover and Hubert Humphrey. Wasn't Hubert Humphrey a Vice President, and Hoover a President?
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;27871672]Apparently your subconscious is meant to be somewhat an opposite of you.[/QUOTE]
Not necessarily. My sub uses my form. It symbolizes us being the same.
I've been having extremely weird cases where I re-live a dream I had a long time ago, and it has happened several times! The same dream!
I do not remember what it is at the moment, but it must have some special significance, and it can't be deja-vu either.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;27871672]Apparently your subconscious is meant to be somewhat an opposite of you.[/QUOTE]
Not necessarily, no. Your sub just takes the form of whatever you'd feel most comfortable around. For most people, it's a female. Mine's Agent Smith because he's a being of pure logic, and logic tends to help figure stuff out, especially with dreams.
Guys, I haven't been waking up from my alarms
How do I fix this
[QUOTE=geogzm;27881471]Guys, I haven't been waking up from my alarms

Change the sound of the alarms/the time of the alarms. It could just be that you've acclimatised to them to such an extent that your body/mind doesn't react to them anymore.

I'm so irritated at myself. Last night I had an extremely amazing dream, but I missed so many opportunities for lucid adventuring. The amazing part? I was essentially bang in the middle of a Doctor Who storyline and, being somewhat of a nerd in that area, this was an absolute haven for me (aside from being pursued by Daleks. It looks laughable on TV, but seriously, when that shit feels real, and hovering death-machines with no perception of mercy are hunting you down, you freaking RUN!). But then I almost became lucid. I observed suddenly that the situation I was involved with made the Doctor regenerate - out in the streets in my dream, the last time I saw him he was in his old form. When he entered the TARDIS, he was in his new form. My nerdiness almost won me lucidity at this point- my real memories broke through, and in my dream I reviewed them, then reviewed how it had happened in my dream, and thought aloud "This isn't right..."
What's most frustrating is that at this brink of lucidity I was in THE FREAKING TARDIS. If I went lucid here, I could have travelled ANYWHERE in space and time in style!
At least this has inspired a much greater determination to lucid dream again. I've been losing inspiration recently, and dropping the RC's. Now I'm getting back into it as much as possible.
Had another night of being lucid without meaning too, after two false awakenings
"this is another dream, to snap outta this ill whip my head to the side, it'll jolt me awake"
Oddly, it worked.
Just woke up from my first lucid dream
God DAMN that was awesome.
Post what you remember of it, if it's not too personal.
Also i seem to realise it's a dream when i have a tooth missing.
Well, from what I remember I realized I was dreaming because I was in a dream I had before and remember it. Next thing i'm in my room and my TV had turned into a wall of TVs I stand up to do a reality check, I stick my finger through my palm, and I swear it felt so real, I got over exited and lost control. I didn't know what to do so I start blinking a lot and after the 8th or so blink i'm laying in bed awake.
I've started re-remembering dreams again, which is a good sign, but I only seemed to have partial lucidity, like I would realize I was in a dream but would quickly forget. It was a fun nonsensical dream though. IIRC, there were L4D zombies attacking us on a TF2 map. With 'us' being half the half life cast, but we were rescued by some random space marines. Either Starcraft or Warhammer 40k. Either way, too many video games.

Very much like my first LD :)
Actually, the finger through hand thing still hasn't lost novelty for me, im on about double-digits for LD's, its just argh, like when the finger just pierces through, its cringeworthy and extraudinary
Edit-
I think im going to purposely go out of my way to induce lucid s again, i have a few things i need to do, and i think dreamspace is the best place to do it.
Yeah it felt pretty gruesome, I had to actually force and wiggle my finger through the insides of my hand.
Had a dream my PC was jailbroken (not sure how that works) with greenpois0n (a jailbreak for iPod) and I was on steam chat to my friend. I don't remember what me and him were talking about, for some reason I remember pikachu at this point, and my friend had control over my PC. Every time I slightly annoyed him he manually shut it down, and whenever it shut down it said "GREENPOIS0N REV3NGE VIRU5" or something similar, and this happened so many times that I began to cry and rage at the same time and hit the wall and things like that. Even when I was waking up I still thought the dream was real until I opened my eyes.
I think I had this dream because I accidentally got his Facebook account deleted through some email shit.
[editline]6th February 2011[/editline]
still can't get lucid though
Just came back from camping guys, in the middle of no where, next to a beach.
Successfully WILDed while there, which I never planned to do. All I did is fly around my neighborhood because I totally forgot about stabilizing my dream. It was sort of like the main road was never there and most of the houses were either under construction or just painted white. Near the end of LD, I forgot who Oney was and what a subconscious. Instead, I thought it was called a signature and that it's name started with a letter J. Relevance to my life, I dunno.
Well, just another wasted LD.
Anyways, when I MILD, I never seem to sleep, any suggestions?
[QUOTE=Oblivious1;27891639]Anyways, when I MILD, I never seem to sleep, any suggestions?[/QUOTE]
If you're using sort of chants for MILD, it could be that you devote so much attention to it that you're keeping your mind too active. When I try for lucid dreams, I only do a little "This is a dream", and more sort of visualisation. I imagine how it felt to suddenly realise I am in a dream, and think of the previous times I have experienced it, and keep remembering the feeling. I then let my mind wander, and imagine becoming lucid in different scenarios. Because this gives your mind an opportunity to wander, it might make falling asleep easier.

Thanks for the tip. Gotta sleep soon.
Had three successful WILDs last night. Awesome. Dreams condensed: In the first one, I visited my grandmother's dead dog's grave, and he appeared there, I petted him and stuff and it was a happy lucid dream. In the second dream, I imagined myself in a steampunkish ship, and suddenly I was there, flying over the clouds, it was great. Third dream, I imagined myself in a spaceship, I appeared in this place that was a huge landmass surrounded by a glass dome, flying in space. I created laser turrets, then some aliens attacked, there was much pew pew and boom. I then created a 200 meter high enormous gauss cannon, it fired and the muzzle blast was huuuuuuuuuuuge. Then the sound came two seconds afterwards and it was deafening even in a dream.
lucky fucker :frown:

I remember yesterday I heard some loud noises when I was going to sleep.
I heard the theme of skins the first time, and then the second time what I think was a very loud wave of water. I realized that it wasn't there and the noise stopped instantly.
Brain won't shut off today. :( just cant seem to sleep, hit the 24 hour mark.

Hypnagogic hallucinations, if you concentrate on them (like you did) they will disappear and you'll snap out of it, but if you ignore them you'll eventually end up in a dream as the hypnagogic images and sounds slowly grow into an actual dream "around" you.

So doing that in my next lucid dream. Will be hilarious.
