My first lucid dream. It was only moderately lucid, but lucid nonetheless; I was conscious, but exerted little control over the aspects of the dream other than my own actions. I don't remember exactly when I went lucid, maybe I never even actually went lucid, and only dreamed that I did. My memory of it begins with me, Mom, Josh, and Eva in a red Jaguar convertable. I was trying to tell Mom how to become lucid. Initially we did something like aiming the car to launch at the moon, but then I pointed over to a water tower (which was apparently the entrance to the MIB headquarters) and told her to drive up the tower. We did, but we didn't get very far up before we began falling backwards. It was happening in slow motion, at least relative to the speed my mind was working at. I knew were dying, and I felt like I was falling asleep, my eyes closing. Then I just opened my eyes and was lucid

I was sitting down. Kitty sat down next to me. Kyle was in front of us; I'm not sure whether he was sitting or standing. Kitty layed down, and rested her head in my lap. Kyle said something, but I think Kitty just ignored him. I was pretty exhausted when I fell asleep, and this dream must have been fairly early on in my sleep cycle, because when I woke I remembered it and couldn't tell if it was a memory of the previous evening or a memory of a dream. For my first few minutes of consciousness I thought it had really happened, and I felt fairly overjoyed. But, alas, 'twas only a dream, and simply this fact negates the joy that the dream brought me when I naively mistook it for reality, and injures me more. Gee, thanks subconscious. Thanks a lot.

I was sitting in a van with Anne Watson, and we were both drunk. Someone else was driving, but I don't know who. Suddenly, Anne straddled me and just smiled. I asked her if she was drunk enough to kiss me. She said no, and then I asked her again. She responded this time by kissing me. I began thinking that something wasn't right, so I pulled away and woke up.

I was in a long wide corridor with no ceiling. The walls were like really tall hedges. I don't remember who I was with, but we were talking about the mob and an art heist. The name Don F---- (?) came up in the conversation, and I knew him to be an enemy. We decided to pay a visit to Lou Fienna (Fienne, Vienne, ?), who I pictured as the green demon from "Angel" who runs a nightclub. So we headed down the corridor, and came in sight of Lou's place. The entrance was like Tolkien's illustration of the door into Moria in LoTR, except it was colored a purplish pink.

Kitty and I were sitting down together on the same surface (not in chairs). I was sitting crosslegged with my back to her. I might not have been wearing a shirt. Kitty was rubbing my back. I leaned forward, laying down my torso. I was thinking about the scars of indeterminate origin on my back, but I'm not sure whether it was because Kitty had said something about it or because she hadn't.

I was sitting on the toilet in the upstairs bathroom with my pants down. My dad asks through the door if anyone is in the bathroom, and starts to open the door. I call out to him to stop, that I'm in here, but he doesn't notice. Then I realised that the sink was in front of the door, so he couldn't really come in anyway. My dad looked around the room, but didn't see me. He walked away, leaving the door open. I called out for someone to close the door, but no one did.

I was with my brother, maybe someone else. He had to compete against someone (I don't remember who) in some sort of competition of any type. We went through a bunch of different games and stuff. Sort of like in "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" when they're competing against Death, but we eventually settled on some sort of maze thing on a computer. When it came up on the screen (which was a flat screen hanging on a wall), we got sucked in (or maybe it sort of expanded out), and we were in this computer maze. I woke up after that.
Bungee, hangglide duel

Category: Fantastic
Wake: 4:45 am
This was a crazy awesome dream, though I'm writing this in the evening and have forgotten much of it. The notes I took this morning when I awoke from the dream are very sparse and fairly illegible, but they'll have to suffice for recalling the dream to my mind. But first a little background. Yesterday I downloaded some audio loops that are supposed to help induce lucid dreams. I also got some for OBEs and remote viewing, and some more general meditative music and sounds and such, but I wanted to try my hand at some lucidity. So I impressed upon my mind the subject that I wished to dream about (flying, something reasonably simple) and got my computer set up so it would replay at certain times and wake me in time for the SAT I was taking in the morning. I think i was at my aunt Barbara's house. There was a dock out back, on a lake. There was a platform out in the middle of the lake with a bungee jump set up. I'm not sure how, it just was. I don't remember actually jumping, but I'm pretty sure I did. I think my brother did too, and maybe someone else. Then we were back in the house (I dont remember the transition). There was a big vaulted room. I was going to duel with someone in there, only it would be on hang gliders. I remember putting on the hang glider. It wasnt a normal hangglider, it was smaller and really agile, like a back pack with wings. Then I remember flying a little bit, doing some maneuvers along with whoever I was dueling. Then I've forgotten a bit, and I remember taking off my shoe and thinking that I need to cut my toenails. J-Train was there.

I was working on the math of some sort of musical scale. With my creation I was playing some crazy cool wierdness on my guitar. I think this dream began in my math class, but ended up in my music theory class. Anyway, Nick came over and started pointing out stuff and saying it was wrong, being generally annoying. Matt also said something, but on a positive note. I just ignored Nick, but I realised that I had used a minor third instead of a major third, or something like that. Damn, wish I could remember that scale.

I was in the Atherton lunchroom after school was over. Also there were Lawson, his girlfriend, and two janitors. Lawson called over to one of the janitors, asking if the jukebox was actually used anymore. The answer was no, so Lawson started pulling the jukebox with ropes to the door. I went over to him and retorically said something to the effect of "How the hell did you manage that," and started helping. We moved a few yards, and were getting pretty tired, when I suggested that instead of taking it we should just put some good music in it, so I got on top of it and took off the top to get access to the discs. I woke up after this.

I had just finished watching a movie with some friends. I guess it had been in a theatre, but I think we were the only ones there. The people who I remember being there for certain are Joe, Kitty, Garrett, Thomas, and another girl (I don't remember who she was). We were going through a small park that I think is actually a park in downtown Lexington. Some of us I think were skateboarding, though I don't remember any skateboards. I _do_ know that skateboarding is not allowed in that particular park. Garrett and I were talking about video games based on movies and music, in particular about "Superman" and "Kid Rock: The Video Game" (what?). Kitty said something about Superman turning her on. She also said I turn her on, but she wishes I would press more often. I somehow heard her say this, though I was on the other side of the park. In any case, having heard this I decided to run up out of nowhere and surprise her with a kiss. However, on my way over I was waylayed by Mr. Goober from "Boston Public." He was already talking sternly to someone about respect. I remember thinking that their name starts with an R, and that this made perfect sense. It might have been Thomas, as his last name is Roges. I sort of edged away to a nearby store. There was a rack of coats right inside of the door. I reach in and grabbed a coat, and pulled it up over me like a blanket. As I fell asleep in my dream, I woke up to the real world.

This was probably actually a couple separate dreams. In my grandparents' living room, my uncle Doug was sitting at the piano. I noticed him putting a retainer similar to mine into his mouth (he doesn't actually wear a retainer). I told him that I had a retainer like his, but I had accidentally left it in Louisville. Later (I don't remember the setting) I was talking with Kitty, and she told me that she sometimes thought I was stalking her, but she kind of liked it. That seriously scared me.

Also in line were Jordan Price and Wade Pierce or Nathan Rogers. Not only was it odd that I was buying a ticket to see the CS madrigal dinner, but I think that it was not at Broadway Baptist, but at the place where Ballard usually does their madrigals.

I was at a Wendy's with some friends from CS who had been in last year as well. We were in a section of the Wendy's that was sort of set off from the rest of the eating area by a glass wall. I don't remember who specifically was there, although I think it was mostly girls. At some point, Mehera showed up, but stayed on the other side of the glass, and everyone was like "Hey, Mehera" and stuff. Then Isabel also showed up, staying on the other side of the glass as well. Everyone greeted her as well, and as people were conversing about things, I looked down and wrote something that included the names "Mehera" and "Isabel." I think that I was writing about the dream as I was in the dream itself. When I looked back up, Isabel had been replaced by someone else who I had never seen before, but no one else noticed the change.

I don't remember quite how it started, but I'm certain it involved spaceships. I think that my friend Drew & I were on a large spaceship, which found a bunch of small spaceships. Drew & I stole one of the small ships, and were flying through a bunch of rooms on a moon. When we landed, we found that we needed parts and fuel, much like on Commander Keen. In fact, the ship was much like the Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket from that game. So then we started going to classes in various rooms on this moon. I don't remember about the first class, but the second was in what looked like a conference room from the law firm at which my dad works. Crystal from church was teaching it, I think. I went to look on the roster and noticed the names of some people I knew. I was walking out of the room through a set of french doors just as Kitty was walking in. I said "Hey, Kitty," and she replied, startled, "Hey, Kitty-Kate-CHET." Then I woke up.

The setting for this dream was a CS party. I'm not sure who's house it was at. People there were: Matt, Isabel, James, Alyssa, Kitty... those are all I recall right now. The beer hadn't arrived yet, so we were drinking Schweppe's ginger ale. Matt told everyone that the party would have to be over at 11:30. Alyssa & Kitty were wondering where the beer was and were getting sort of aggravated about it, when someone brought it in. I was thinking about getting into some sort of drinking contest with Isabel, when James tells someone to take a picture of him, me, and Isabel. Then I woke up.
Autumn house w/ friends

I entered the house I remember having entered perhaps twice before in my dreams. Outside, it is a dark, chilly autumn night. Just in front of the door in the foyer is a mummified head hanging on the wall. The inside of this house reminds me of Chase's, except that the former seems to have only one story, while the latter has two. With me in the house are some of my friends from CS; the only person I now recall recognizing is Leah, probably because she is the only person in the dream, aside from myself, who I remember actually doing something in the dream. The house, as in past dreams, is dark and moderately run-down. Now that I think about it, the house, and setting, is much like that from "Evil Dead 2." In the dream, I move through the house, turning on some lights, as I have done in the past. I went into the kitchen because I remembered from my previous visit that there were a bunch of light switches in there. The switches were broken-up and when I tried them the lights flickered and sparked. I kept trying, but it continued to not work. Leah then unplugged the electric cord for the whole house (which just happened to be on the kitchen counter), and I said something to the effect of "No, that'll turn off all the lights," and it did, but when she plugged it back in, all of the lights worked. That's all I remember right now.

After this in the dream I discussed it with Joe and he reminded me of how bad it could have been.
