    9/12, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 27, 10/1 Quick notes mostly on LDs

    Paraphrasing most entries so no hashtags...some just cut & pasted from digital DJ.

    *Sexual content in many spots.
    10/1 DILD: I was so angry at people cutting in front of me at an elevator line that the emotion instantly lifted me about 1 yard/meter off the ground which immediately clued me in that I was dreaming. I let the anger carry over into my lucidity and was venting telling them how I can just fly to the top of the building...I don't need this f-ing elevator...and I can smack you around if I want to, rip off your clothes, so there it turned sexual and I ripped of a few women's clothes with TK floating above the crowd feeling omnipotent. It was quite fun but I should have moved straight to some goals and ended up waking up as my wife got out of bed (99% sure that wasn't an FA). 213

    9/27 I believe 3 separate lucid events and that HH's SSILD and visualization were the keys. After low key game. Waited 1 hour after waking to record dreams due to breakfast ready. The first one I went back to sleep trying to get more and I think I forgot too many details. I think it was the dream in the #shopping area and I'm #lookingFor #lostItem shopping bag I set down on this couch or chair and its missing when I go back. The lucid part is sexual with a sexy woman something about her curves and fine body. 210

    The second lucidity event I am walking past the #school that is having a big sports or Olympics day with all the students competing in different events but I paid particular attention to students playing #rugby. When I first look at them I wondered if they weren't wearing football pads but upon further examination or dream transitioning they were clearly not wearing football pads and I could see them doing a rugby scrum. This transitioned to me playing with them and narrator talking about how one of the ways to score is kicking the ball through the uprights and one of the guys kicks the ball forward and I leap up to catch it but a taller guy catches it first I continue running down the field leaping into the air and I realize that I'm dreaming I have a lot of fun bounding across the field. 211

    Third lucid event seems to start as a DEILD As I am visualizing in bed and I get the scene of a sexy woman and as I enter the scene there is a table, paper and a pointed plastic writing pen and ink that you dip it into and I write different messages to see how well I can write in a lucid dream. I forget exactly the first words I wrote but they came out pretty good but when I tried to write "dream" and it was very hard to read and I had more trouble with the ink getting more runny and not sticking to the writing device and the colors were getting too light to show on the white piece of paper. I've then start to remember that there was a sexy woman when I first came into the scene and I could see her sitting on the far end of the table. As I go to move towards her it gets a little foggy but I stay patient and focus first on her toes and her toenails painted with nail polish and slowly work my way up her leg with her body reforming. I reach under her dress
    and caress her sexy legs and butt and remove her underwear. I reach for her wonderful warm moisture before working my way up to her top before waking up. 212

    9/21 Lucid #sex with perfect, perky #Russian girl. Her breasts her butt! Her skin so soft after some hesitation from her I showed her she wanted me bad and she let me touch her everywhere. Thought about fingering her behind but afraid the dream might come up with a surprise there. Later sex with M, the friend of wife with twin sister. I told her it is okay...it's just a dream! She says "Your c*ck is so big! After exploding inside her my wife and I walk out of party and through a #shopping area with various #stores with groceries and #restaurants and my DC wife is proud of her stud "since it is all a dream" my new pick up line. I am scanning all of the DC's we pass. One lady looks interesting but I'm looking for a certain type since I already had 2 women so far this dream. 209

    9/20 Awesome vivid tsunami dream where I am calm and lead a rescue.
    WILD/LD 1: I thought I was just visualizing when a dream materialized. I hear Girl Friday downstairs and go down to hook up. Go semi-lucid as various people judge my interest in her but regain it when I see a girl in lingerie laying on the floor trying to seduce me. She is too young. I pick her up and hold her like a father would. 206

    LD 2: I think that I WILD again. I am laying in bed visualizing when I find myself in a scene laying under the stars. I remember the striking feeling and realism of opening my dream eyes wide to soak in the whole view with so many stars in every direction. It was extremely beautiful and felt like a spiritual experience. I remembered my personal goal that I tied into the TOTM. 207

    LD 3: Awake again visualizing and enter non-lucid dream at some point turned DILD.<snip> He leaves it unattended on oven to overflow and the oven starts to fill up with water like a clothes washer but it's open so the water would flow out onto the floor. I start to try to turn it off and then realize this is a dream the oven can't just turn into clothes washer. I fly up from there up out of the house but then I remember Girl Friday was there and I fly back down into the house but I seem to have messed up the visuals but I stay patient. I go into the living room in a bit of a fog I go sit down on the couch next to where Girl Friday was in the dream. I reach out for her and she seems to be forming back into my dream and I'm looking down at the floor and there's this round item rolling back and forth by itself that was cool. I think I'm forgetting a lot because I waited until the morning to record everything until I'm actually getting up. I did record the tsunami dream during wake back to bed which I'm doing shorter now. Factors for improved multiples? Vivid dream at beginning of night. DEILD focus. Visualization at each awakening. Stop and ask if dream. More frequent random natural self awareness. Back to lumosity. Adding a little fat back into my diet. 208

    9/19 LD 1: This whole thing, this whole discussion and scenario has all been a dream! Start to get naked then decide to do nose plug=can breathe but am I fully plugging it, do finger through palm and proceed to get naked. I call for Girl Friday to come in and as I hear her (or someone approaching) I wake up. 204

    LD 2: A noise (my wife leaving) wakes me up and I DEILD back into what looks like the same scene as my previous dream except I notice a mirror and look into it to see myself as a woman who looks like a thinner version of Julia Louis-Dreyfus. I decide to open my blouse and check out my breasts. They are small but nicely shaped. I sit down and take off my pants with plans to check out down there but I transform back to myself with my normal junk down there and all. I fade back to bed and fade in and out of some dreamlets including one with a little Asian girl I felt drawn to protect named Ashikara. I am trying to find her again in the fog and a little blonde girl pokes her head around a corner and disappears. Possible NREM lucid but not counting this part after the LD with me as a woman. 205

    9/18 Examining source of smoke makes me lucid. Smoke coming from underneath carpet, pull it back, embers present, hole under carpet, look closer and hole gets bigger, think it looks like mouse hole and a mouse comes out. There are many orange ear plugs down this hole. Earlier I attempted the glottal RC and had trouble hinting a dream already but the above scenario confirmed it. Convincing FA. 203

    9/15 Standing over bed seeing fleas on bed made me lucid. Wife there also. 202

    9/12 I see Cameron Diaz and realize I am dreaming. I walk up to her and give her a kiss on the lips and then look at her again and she still looks mostly like her but with no make-up. I think FA after. Also DEILD focus bleeding into NLDs. 201

      Wow, fogelbise--lot of activity last month. Especially like the dream under the stars, as well as your wife being proud of your sex dreams I've been trying some new methods as well, but have not heard of "hh marker." I have been giving visualization a go as well, though not having nearly the success you are. Awesome, man.

      Wow, fogelbise, congratulations on a great month! I'm glad to see you hitting so many LDs! Lots of nights with multiple lucids, too, which is really cool. And as usual, I once again say that you have a way with the ladies of the dreamscape.

      Factors for improved multiples? Vivid dream at beginning of night. DEILD focus. Visualization at each awakening. Stop and ask if dream. More frequent random natural self awareness. Back to lumosity. Adding a little fat back into my diet.
      Oooh, any thoughts you could expand on in this quote? Looks like some really good stuff!

      Thank you Gentlemen! @ThreeCat re: "hh marker" I was trying to think of the best terminology to describe to myself what I think is an important milepost. Namely a milepost that suggests that I am carrying enough awareness into the falling asleep process. Retaining awareness into the stage of sleep where you start getting significant HH's seems to correspond to greater awareness in REM and greater likelihood of LDs of different kinds for me. If I can get to HH's I feel good about going ahead and falling asleep.

      @CanisLucidus Let me know if you want further expansion on any of these:

      Vivid dream at beginning of night - early awakening from tsunami dream was awesome and vivid and seemed to keep me focused on the dream side of the equation when falling back to sleep and subsequent awakenings.

      DEILD focus - I recently started to put more focus on DEILDs as I noticed my number of multiple LD nights had dropped off and I wanted to get it back.

      Visualization at each awakening - I did some SSILD in spots but would break that off at times and would visualize various fantasies sometimes tying them into recent dreams or even daytime experiences.

      Stop and ask if dream - Basically I had gotten away from really asking "Is this a dream" in waking practices but had been working on putting it back into my practices.

      More frequent random natural self awareness - I find myself naturally remembering to do RC's more frequently, sometimes tied to dream signs, sometimes not. By the way, have you ever noticed that focusing on recognizing certain dream signs in waking life seems to reduce their prevalence in dreams? In other words paying attention to certain mundane things during the day may reduce their occurrence in your dream. I am wondering if that might be the case. Paying attention to something more interesting seems to have the opposite effect.

      Back to lumosity - free online brain games that may help with some LD fundamentals.

      Adding a little fat back into my diet - I have been doing a lot of juicing and veggie/fruit smoothies and realized I need a little fat as well and that that might have given me some kind of boost in awareness while sleeping.

      Thanks for the thoughtful reply on this, fogelbise, I appreciate it! Sorry for taking forever to get back to you. Let myself get distracted worrying too much about having a complete response to all of your points, sorry!

      I agree with the idea of getting some of those wonderful dietary fats that are easy to miss with smoothies and juices. Fortunately there are awesome plant-based options like avocados, ground flax meal, peanut butter, almond butter. (Those last two are especially delicious!) What did you use as a source of these additional fats?

      The "stop and ask if dream" practice is a great one. I've brought that back in and it's helped in a big way. These days I execute it as a joyful "Look for the dream" moment during the day and it feels very nice, positive, and motivating.

      Nice formula you've put together! I'm glad that it's working so well for you.

      Thank you CL! Can you give me an example of your "Look for the dream" moment?

      Those would have been better options for the fats...I was referring to meat based fats. I forget the specifics, but you have some good background knowledge with this subject, right?

      Sure! What I do is try to internalize the attitude that I'll have many dreams every night and that they'll feel very much as waking life does now, but that if I look for them at the right time, I can find them. And furthermore, I keep it firmly in my mind that there's great joy both in the process of seeking and finding the dream.

      Whenever it occurs to me to do so, I think of lucid dreaming and spend a moment reflecting on how happy lucid dreaming makes me while I look for the dream in what I see around me. Is it here? No? Well, it will be soon, and it'll be awesome.

      I especially do this when I find myself experiencing any slight negative feelings like stress or social anxiety. As a nice side effect, it forces me outside of my head to examine this world that I'm a part of and see whether it's all my own creation.

      I think that the joy of these moments is a big part of what's made it work for me. It feels easy, peaceful, relaxed, but with this sense of happy anticipation. Like dreams are coming very soon, and it's good to be ready. I hope that helps give some idea of what I do! If anything's unclear, let me know.

      I forget the specifics, but you have some good background knowledge with this subject, right?
      I don't have any special knowledge or credentials apart from a general interest in fitness, nutrition, and strength training. Right now I'm following a predominantly plant-based / vegan diet, so plant-based sources of fat have been on my mind for a bit now, which is why they came to mind.

      Nice summary fogelbise, and congrats on all the lucid success!
      You do have fun, don't you?
      The part where you cradled the too-young girl like a father was very sweet and profound.
      Thanks for expanding on those points above, too - these comments are as interesting to read as the dreams!

      @CanisLucidus - Thank you for that excellent description! That sounds like an awesome practice to do! I bookmarked this noting your comment.

      @Dreamer - Thank you! Maybe a little too much fun at times, but the it is definitely nice to have those other kinds of experiences like that sweet one.
