Holy crap! And all DILDs! "RC. Smile to myself". Heck yeah.

Do you know how long time past between them?

I had a DILD today too, but only one.

@ MrBlonde
Yeah! It was like it. That is where I have been getting my zombie intake lately. The weird thing is that they didn't look like zombies!

@ Sangfoot
I have been able to go to a few places multiple times, but never more than 5. Wish I could get back more, but I keep getting side tracked. No consistent DCs either, unless it is the same night.

Hi BrandonBoss!

Dang that was a hardcore dream! I love how it ended "I tear her soul out and her body falls to the ground and dissolves" that is crazy man!

I have seen you post in other places that you like Hyu's dream journal, and want to make a persistent reality of your own. I also love Hyu's DJ, it is what got me into lucid dreaming in the first place! Have you had any luck making a persistent reality?

Man that sounds like awesome lucid. Kinda reminds me of the walking dead.

That is so badass.

Thanks.

I am pretty happy to have gotten the easy one. I plan on doing one a month if there is one that stands out as fun.

Awsome!
I realy want animated dream

You should look for it when you get to the base. thanks. Most of my dreams should be like this one. It was so fun.

wow sounds like you met a set of twins but one is good and the other evil. i wonder if i will see a town by the hq once i find it. nice dreams

Yep. I am so excited. going back there tonight hopefully. She was really nice, but kind of protective.

That town does look like a pretty good place to explore. I wonder what you'll find there? That good cat-girl seems like a pretty good ally too. She might want to help you liberate the town or kill the evil one. Who knows. Sounds like you'll be having some fun adventures!

Actually, I normally just close my eyes and imagine a different place and imagine my eyes open at the other place. This just came to me in the dream as a way to make everything else disappear but my wife. But yes, that is essentially what I did.

Edit: Thanks about the control. I think that the main reason I don't struggle with it is because I told myself over and over that I am a natural at control and that I don't struggle with it ever. Believing this makes it easier to expect to succeed in dreams.

Your control is impressive. Im really interested in how you teleport. So you basically creat a void and focus on stabilizing while nudging your subconscious to create new place. Is that the jist of it?

Yeah, the seed is from my evaluation of the dream upon first waking. I really can't incubate a dream out of thin air. The first dream is always random, and the other dreams normally branch from that. So I get the first dream something like "DV convention" and the next few dreams are similar. This helps a lot in becoming lucid because as I go to sleep I also imagine myself becoming lucid in the previous dream. If the dream is enough alike, I normally can get a lucid from it.

So is the "seed" something that's pre-determined based on your incubation work? Or something that the dream presents to you? Because I'd imagine that even with pretty serious incubation work, there are times where a dream comes completely from out of left field.

Incubation has been working a bit better for me lately, though, so maybe I need to give it a nice, robust try again.

@Caio
Hope it helps. I think that this helps make my visual meditation more amazing: http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...technique.html

I am constantly daydreaming throughout the day and then when I get at home and close my eyes, I can actually see it (almost)!
@ Canis
It was actually 6. It was a crazy morning. I DILDed, and then DEILDed twice, got up and ate. WILDed back to sleep and then DEILDed twice again. I don't know what happened to me. That was back when I had like 30 LDs as well, so it shot the amount up a ton!

Yes, it is a bit like that. I actually have trouble with the memory palace, I have been meaning to try it again though since it seems more rewarding. I link things together a bit. I normally have the "seed" written down to my dream. I link every part of my dream to one thing, and if I think of that, all of the dream will flood back. I think the only reason that it works is the fact that all my dreams in one night are normally pretty well themed in one way because of incubation.

haha, I shall not tell you then that this is not the most I have had in a night.

LOL. Yeah dude, keep that shiz to yourself! No, I'm just kidding... what's your top? My most ever was three and it was... freaking magical, honestly.

The other times I wake up, note the dream, attach it to something and go to sleep. It is kind of hard to explain, but I can try if you wish, it is a memorization technique I read in a non dreaming book.

Is this a bit like the "Memory Palace" or "Method of Loci" technique? This is one of my personal favorites! I used that to memorize a grocery list well over a year ago and I still remember most of it.

I am used to doing the first one (not thinking).. But i will sure try the seccond and third ones too..(specially the daydreaming :3).
Just thought of the lyrics from Rage against the machine to my mind when im pessimistic about stuff:"Fuck you,i wont do what you tell me!"
Thanks Brandy.. that will boost my LDing count for sure !

@PennyRoyal
Go get it! Tell your brain what to do, it isn't the boss of you.

@Caio
There are a lot of different types, I don't know what they are called though. As far as I have seen, there are three major ones.
Not thinking
Just sitting there and not thinking about anything. Not very fun for me.
Thinking about one thing
You take everything out of your mind but one thing. Some sort of puzzle or idea and kind of wait for an epiphany. I do this with LDing and with the Bible. Can be fun if you think of something. Can help a lot with LD in my experience.
Visual meditation!!
Sit down, close your eyes and daydream! This is my favorite. I used to do this when in trouble or having difficulty falling asleep. Now I do it and imagine myself becoming lucid. This is the type of meditation I use a lot.

@Canis
haha, I shall not tell you then that this is not the most I have had in a night.

Yesterday I used the second one (thinking about being lucid) for 20 minutes, and the third one (visual meditation) until I fell asleep. I normally get an LD if I can sit down for a long time and do this. I actually did the third one for a long time since I had trouble sleeping.

I practiced waking up whenever I want to, I wake up about 5 times per night. I got up at 4:10 and wrote a bunch of stuff down. Normally I don't write anything down, but I wrote out notes for this because I had had some fun dreams as well as LDs. The other times I wake up, note the dream, attach it to something and go to sleep. It is kind of hard to explain, but I can try if you wish, it is a memorization technique I read in a non dreaming book.

Five LDs in one night? That is sick, dude, just sick. Please give me a moment to work through my jealousy so that I can focus on being happy for you.

Still working on it. Still working. Okay, there.

You mention meditation as something which has helped you. What is your overall approach to meditation? Are you just trying to achieve that "no thought" state for 20 minutes a day or do you actively focus on lucidity/confidence during these times?

It also looks like you wake up a ton throughout the night. Is this how it always is for you? Are you actually getting up and writing stuff down each time?
