[Cthulhu]

I set my alarm to 7 or 8 AM every night, but since I can't get to sleep till like 3 I end up setting it back an hour, and then another hour, then another.

The cool thing, though, is that doing this gives me crazy dreams.  Not lucid, but they have potential.

I had one where I was on a boat, and this girl was on a boat in front of me, and I knew somehow she was going to die in a few seconds, so I tried to save her.  I jumped onto her boat, she freaked out, and then the floor dropped out (it was a very shallow, man-made river).  She fell, and I managed to grab onto a beam across the middle of the pit.  I decided to go down after her, grabbing ammunition all the while, for some reason.  There were all these wooden bridges everywhere, many of them going down very steeply.  Anyway, I finally reached a door, and to my left was a little green vehicle of some sort with a small minigun on it.  I commandeered it and opened the door, as behind me a very small Daemon Prince of Nurgle attacked (Small being relative here, it was still bigger than me)  I started backpedaling and shooting it with the minigun while it chased me.  I somehow ended up in this futuristic place, and walked into some sort of lounge area where the Bay12 Crew was standing around (The bay12 crew being Finally...'s Kool Kids Krowd.)  I left my vehicle being and started wandering the halls of this place, when some kind of cataclysm hit and things started going crazy.  I ran back to the lounge but found you guys had dismantled my car, I ran around yelling for a bit before I found the minigun, which had suddenly turned into a bizarre and bulbous version of the Heavy's Minigun.  It took me a while to figure out how to use it, it had all these dials and spinny things on it.  I killed Strife with it, and he was annoyed.  I told him if he was mad he should kill me, I believe I was doing it in a stupid voice so the Bay12 guys wouldn't realize I was the one killing them.  (Stupid being like "wel if ur mAD u shud kil me)

I woke up shortly after.

I just had a rather calming and unpleasent ending lucid dream.

I was riding my bike down the freeway and at some point I got on top of someone's car and was trying to balance my bike slid out from beneath me and I was dragged down face first into the pavement...I was quite lucid by the time I was on the car and trying to balance was my fault, because I always fall when I try to balance in dreams.

I had a nice dream last night with some sort of cool story (or at least that's what my brain told me. Looking back on it it was actually an incoherent mess but whatever) so when it ended and it was only 4am, I wanted to get back in. And it worked, so yay.

It was also a dream which I remembered amazingly well after I woke up again in the morning. When that happens I'm always in a good mood for the entire morning.

I can read in dreams, or, at least, magically be able to tell what it's supposed to say even if the words have no connection whatsoever between themselves.

I have a couple of ones where I recognize certain thins from other dreams, or -even stranger- am expecting them. This still doesn't give me much control over what happens, though I usually dream of magic and exciting stuff, so it's not that much of a requirement.

I have "movie-like" dreams, where I "see" from a third-person view and sometimes "I" am not "me" exactly. Doesn't prevent epic brawlings, showdowns and beatdowns. I have never ever felt pain in a dream, even if "I" go into a monumental fight and got injuries. Nor do I tire even though I seem to be out of breath. I figure it's my flair for the dramatic.

I have more control when I'm half-awake though, maybe enough to qualify as lucid dreaming. I have even ended dreams on demand and wake up.

Some of the dreams I remember do have some awesome story or cool plot that makes sense somewhat! I am trying to pick up the habit of writing them, I have the latest one such story floating online already, I can share if you'd like.

I've been having lucid dreams lately. Heck, I can't even call them that. More like late-night hallucinations. All of them have been like so:

I wake up for some reason, and notice my TV is on. I search for my remote (my Wiimote for some reason) and use it to turn the TV off. Then I turn and go back to bed. Dream end.

And when I wake up, my Wii is on.

[Cthulhu]

I can't lucid dream anymore, it's terrible.  Every time I start to feel one coming on I have a panic attack, because of those nightmares I brought up recently.  Once one starts I'm afraid it'll be scary, and that fear projects itself onto the dream, so it ends up being scary.  Once I'm flying I start hyperventilating and trying to force myself awake before I land.

[Jude]

I lucid dream sometimes now, but I can't make it happen. It just happens. Also it's pretty fragile and more often than not I wake up right after realizing I'm dreaming. Last night I was exploring some big old cathedral place and it was pretty awesome but then I woke up thirsty as hell. Lame.

You have not known nightmares until you get the ones where you can't wake up before you reach the spires, before you get caught, before shots go off. There was a psychiatrist's drug I was on, somewhere around elementary-middle school, that caused a long line of death dreams. People were very disturbed when I described them, and I was mildly surprised other people did not have those sorts of dreams. 'Pain of death' really is...

[Cthulhu]

I don't know, these ones were more disturbing than frightening, although they were certainly scary and I couldn't wake up from most of them.

I am still so glad I didn't go into that one lit room.  There was a chair in the middle and something was in the chair, but with a blanket over it, and as I stepped over the threshold the light started dimming.  I don't know what would have happened if I had gone all the way in, and I don't want to know.

I get WILDs very easily.

The trick is to not move at all when you wake up.  If you lie perfectly still you'll have a WILD.

Also, how can you not think they're cool?  It's one of the most exhilarating things I've ever felt.  The second time I had one I didn't even realize I was dreaming, the transition was so smooth.  It took me a few minutes to figure it out.

[Nivim]

After seeing "WILD" I went to see what it meant...then kept researching. Now I will probably never get into a lucid dream again as long as I'm trying.

[Euld]

Had an interesting dream.  I should note... all my dreams seem to be based around RPGs somehow.  In my dream, me and a teammate were running around killing some strange dragons.  They essentially lived in massive holes in the ground and poked out of them to attack, having most of their torso out to do so.  There was  name for these, it started with an O and ended with and X, and was a sort of long name, like a dinosaur name.  We went around killing these.  It didn't feel like grinding, but somehow felt very necessary to kill these things.

Trap-door dragons instead of trap-door spiders? Awesome.
