Lucid Dream Log

I know this probably doesnt fit into paranormal but its interesting all the same. I think theres alot to be learned from dreams especially lucid ones about the subconscious.


Considering the fact we have thousands of crazy dreams every night and only remember a tiny percentage of them and the ones we do remember we usually forget them sooner or later, I've decided to make a dream log.

Lately I've been having all sorts of lucid dreams and I noticed the more I think and talk about lucid dreams the more lucid dreams I seem to have. To more I become interested in it the greater my ability to realize im dreaming. In the last few weeks at least 3 out of 7 days a week the last dreams I remember each night were lucid ones. Sometimes they are only slightly lucid and dont last very long, other times im completely lucid and I can maintain the state for a seemingly long time.

The problem im having though is maintaining the dream itself rather than the lucidity. Every single lucid dream I have it ends because everything goes black. I think its my mind creating this problem, whenever I find myself in a lucid dream I try so hard to make sure things dont fade out and go black I think thats the cause of it fading out and blacking out.

Some of the techniques I use which seem to help maintain the dream are:

1.) When I notice im in a lucid dream I dont think, I just start running and keep moving. For some reason the changing scenery helps maintain the lucidity.

2.) If I feel the dream losing its clarity or fading away I look at my hands then look at the scenery again and it seems to regain its clarity. Like the running technique this only seems to work 50% of the time at best.


Well heres the start of my dream log. Some of these dreams arent lucid ones but they are what led to the lucid ones.

Dream 1:
In the dream I was lying in bed thinking of lucid dreaming. Still in the dream I dosed off and was dreaming inside the dream. As I was thinking about lucid dreaming I got up out of the bed and started walking around. Although in the dream I was trying to lucid dream what I saw it as more like astral travelling. I would walk up to people in the house and try to interfere with them as if they were really there in their waking state but they couldnt see me because I was in the lucid dream.

Seeing as I knew I was dreaming and I remembered flying in dreams before I started flying. I flew around the house a bit and decided to go outside. At this point I was thinking about wether to open the door or smash through the window. I figured if I opened the door the dream would fade out of black out so I decided to go through the window.
I was having a hard time breaking the window but I remembered a dream I had before where I could pass through physical objects such as walls and ceilings so I gave it a shot. I was having fears that the dream was going to black out and once I got half way through the window it did just that. I struggled to bring the dream back to life but it was useless. I woke up.

Dream 1:
Started off I was walking down the street eating an icepop somewhere downtown. When I finished the icepop I noticed a free icepop vending machine. What was weirder than the fact it was a "free" icepop vending maching was that it was a big box attached to the traffic lights by the side of the road. I jumped on the opportunity and got myself a free icepop. I knew there was a catch though. I knew if the icepops were free there was some sort of catch to it. So I took a bit out of it and looked at the wrapper at the same time and noticed it was a soya icepop. It tasted like complete crap so I started to spit it out. I must have taken a gigantic mouth full because I kept spitting but I couldnt get it all out. Out of frustration I shoved my hand in my mouth and pulled the soya icecream out of my mouth. The people on the streets were disgusted.

After that I went sat down at a table in a resteraunt. I was with a friend or somebody but I wasnt paying attention to who it was. The mysterious friend recommended something for me to order. I didnt like the look of it but there was nothing else so I ordered it. It was french fries soaking in liquid coleslaw. I never did get around to eating it seeing as the dream ended around that point.


Dream 2:
Right after the soya pop dream I found myself stting at a table in sort sort of office. To my right was Samuel L Jackson and on the other side of the table was some black lady, I had the impression she was some sort of police station secretary. Samuel L Jackson was trying to get some sort of information out of the lady but she wasnt telling us anything. I remember I kept cracking jokes which seemed hilarious at the time. I dont remember what the jokes where but they all involved the words "mystery man" or "mystery". After a while we got up and left the office. Samuel L Jackson walked straight down the corridor but I took a left and went down a staircase. Thats when I realized I was dreaming.

The minute I noticed it was a dream I started running down the stairs to maintain the lucidity. I noticed this dream being alot clearer than usual. I got bored of running down the stairs so I went through one of the doors. Thats when I noticed I was in a hospital. I was really disappointed seeing as I didnt like hospitals very much and was expecting to be somewhere a little more interesting. I decided to make the best of it and search for some morphine. I went into a room where there was an empty bed. There was nothing to be found in there except for some strange but familiar looking object. I cant begin to describe this object but I remember thinking in the dream how weird it was that this object was just lying there and why my mind would make such an object.

I left the room and proceeded down the corridor, there were a bunch of people down there. I saw a black woman who looked familiar. For some odd reason I decided to try and rob her handbag. She wouldnt let go so I patted her on the back and walked into a room on the left. There were two women talking to each other, one of them had a jar of pills. She ate some pills and passed them to the other woman. They pills were the shape of tiny white balls. I grabbed the jar of pills off the woman and was thinking about eating some of them but I didnt trust eating pills I found in a hospital so I threw them on the ground. The woman looked shocked.

At that point I was pissed off I was in a lucid dream but I was stuck in a hospital so I tried to get out. I was thinking of going the way I came to get back to the stairs and make my way down to the exit but there was a window right beside so I decided jump through it. Another unsuccessful attempt, thats about the time the dream ended.

Is there a forum or anything where people can log there lucid dreams as ive thought about doing this myself, i always read about peoples lucid dreams that theyve had and can always relate to things they say and find it intresting so i may as well start loggin my dreams and experiences for others to read.
