    I Am Speed [DILD]

    This was a very long dream. I remember vaguely playing this game before this happened, but not much of the content. I was playing some new Pokémon ROM based on Red and Blue that I was apparently making, and was amazed at how good it was. (Even in the dream, I didn't actually remember making it.) I was showing D how crazy it was, but I only remember that from hearing it in the background; the screen took up my entire vision. I was in a Cinnabar Island-like area, and I laughed that at one point the whole map went from black and white to color, then back again almost instantly. I went inside the Pokémon center and the scene totally changed. It was some big panoramic view of a bar scene, with the healing station up in the front with an animated background playing behind it. I can't remember much of what happened there at the bar, but I got sucked into it and started experiencing it in first-person perspective. I met this girl there who I've known since elementary school, and I've been calling her M but for the sake of not mixing her up with my more current friend, I'll stick to ML from now on. I think she said something about some people being injected with some drug or virus, but they may have been inserted later by my false awakening.... Anyway, this dream was REALLY long, even from this point on, it had to have been at least another 20 or 30 minutes. Unfortunately a lot of my memory of this point is lost, but I'm pretty sure I became at least somewhat lucid somewhere in here.

    I don't remember the realization, but I do remember the clarity of thought, knowing I had control, and remembering that it was lucid in my false awakening. For most of the dream, ML and I were trying to get away from this guy I used to hang out with named JB, who had been chasing us ever since the bar. He ended up following us around some huge building which I don't recognize as anywhere real, but it contained all types of strange rooms and structures. We were flying to get away from him, and my memory starts coming back in when we were in a movie theater room. We were just trying to watch the movie, but we sensed that he was there again, and ML slowly whispered to me to fly backwards into him. I did that and it totally caught him off guard, and then we both zoomed off. My memory gets a little hazy for a second, but then I'm standing a hallway somewhere in the building. I started flying forward again, and this time I started thinking to myself that "I am the fastest I could ever be, no one is faster than I am." My speed started increasing faster and faster and faster, and everything in my vision was moving so quickly that it looked like it was just bouncing all around my line of sight. Then finally, reality broke. My perception of my speed passed some kind of barrier, and it was no longer that I was feeling how fast I was going as much as it was that I just was speed... like there was no "normal" speed to compare it to. Very hard to describe. I was hit with the sudden feeling that the entire building map was open to me simultaneously, like I could see around all walls at once. I was still moving, so I was just warping all around the building. I was moving so quickly that my environment was just flashing and warping from one scene to the next. I felt like I was bursting with power but also pushing myself out of control, and then it suddenly faded.     I guess I made it too unstable.

    False Awakening - I woke up and tried sooo hard to get all of this dream typed up. N and D were both there and they wouldn't shut the fuck up. I kept telling them "Seriously guys, this dream was so amazing, please just let me type it." They would agree for half a second and then continue trying to distract me with stuff, and N wouldn't stop talking about how whenever he sings the lyrics to "Brown Eyed Girl" he gets it wrong and says either "blonde eyed" or "green eyed". (I can't remember which he said, I think it was the former, though.) D kept trying to hand me some keyboard, which I claimed was "memory foam" and told him to go put it in my parents' bedroom. Of course, if I'd looked around for even a second I would have realized that the environment I was in looked NOTHING like my house, and was in fact actually more similar to the building from the dream, but... oh well. When I finally woke up so much memory of the dream had escaped me. But I least I got what I did.

      The lucid part is awesome, Aly!

      ML slowly whispered to me to fly backwards into him.
      You flew into his body? I like this crazy stuff, lol, how I like it!

      Yeah, it was pretty ridiculous. It was a nice break in a line of boring non-lucids.

      Wow, what an amazing lucid. I can never fly in my lucid dreams.

      Thanks. I got lucky with that, flying is one the powers that came to me naturally because it was always a normal form of transportation for me in non-lucids, anyway. How exactly do you try to fly? Maybe I can give some advice.

      Well, on my old profile, when i actually COULD lucid I tried flying by running/jumping off of bridges, as well as making a sort of Jet of fire in my hand, and sort of flying Iron Man style. It only worked once.

      Right now, I really need more advice on just getting lucid. All of my old techniques don't seem to be working.

      Ah gotcha, gotcha. Well what techniques are you using now? They just started new classes at the DVA too, for the record.

      Well, I have tried WILDing, when I go to bed. I have only had SP experiences when I go to bed, and not when I try later in the night. In other words, It seems as though it might be easier for me to WILD when I go to bed rather than trying to do it later in the night or in the morning.

      I also do this in conjunction with a MILD/DILD technique. I say Mantras and listen to this: Lucid Dreaming Induction With Theta & Delta Binaural Brainwaves - YouTube
      I have a hard time remembering to do RCs because I either do them often, but don't really pay attention to them or do them far too rarely. But I do a few (5-10) a day anyway. I also do them at all the wrong times, like when I'm in class and there's nothing to do.

      I'm bored...[Reality Check]

      On my old account, I had a great MILD chain. I was basically relying on the fact that I would lucid. It was like the intent of doing an activity. Like in waking life, I know at the end of the school day, I would ride the bus home. The same thing with lucid dreaming. I knew that every night, I would have a lucid dream, It was just part of my regular routine.

      I figured it would be super easy to just pick up where I left off, but I've been at it for a month now, and have had little luck.

      So any advice on what direction to take my techniques?

      It occurred to me a few minutes after writing my last reply that I HAVE been experiencing lucidity more often than I thought. You see, I was watching this youtube video series called the 5 layers of lucid dreaming, and this dude was explaining that if you sort of have an eerie feeling that something just isn't right, but you don't really become lucid.

      For example in my "Predator Park" Dream, I was strangely not scared of the monster. I mean I wanted to get away from it, but I was not like terrified by it. I sort of felt like "If it gets me, so what, It's not a big deal." And this is actually a level of lucidity. Because I knew there would be no consequences for my actions, so I sort of didn't care what happened.

      In that sense, I'm now sort of motivated, because I'm coming close to being lucid far more often than I originally thought. So probably I don't need to apply much more effort to start having more good lucid dreams.

      Ah, well that's good then. Just for the record though, you can get into SP at any time of day, but you can only WILD before REM periods. So just because it's easier for you to get into SP right when you go to bed doesn't mean it's a good idea to try to use it to WILD, even if you succeed it'll be much more unstable and shorter than a normal WILD. Just food for thought.

      Well, OK, then what do you suggest I do?

      WBTBs and daytime naps at certain times, if you're going for WILD. That's really the only good thing to do.

      Well, the biggest problem with WBTBs is that on most nights I have little time to sleep. From what you've said I'll probably stop trying to have WILD directly when I go to bed; at least until I've mastered WILDing at night.

      Perhaps the problem with my WILDing at night is that I've not been waking myself up enough. I heard that doing simple math problems is a good way to get your logical brain thinking, so what I'll try tonight is I'll create myself a "homework" assignment. Then I'll set my alarm to a REM period as best I can. Then I can wake up and do the assignment, and try to WILD when I go back to bed. I'll try this method out for a week or two to see if it works.

      Wow, Aly! That was amazing! You moving so fast around the building like that, and being able to see everything at once is quite an ability! I should start calling you hyper Aly! Lol
