    8/7/14 Sky, Sex & More Sex!! - Sensei's Competition Night 11

    by , 08-07-2014 at 11:29 PM (876 Views)
    Tonight I took a break from goals and I feel like that paid dividends!..explanation at the end...

    8/7/14***
    11 355am Being chased by a big Ebola virus caricature. He shows up in several locations. Oh no not Ebola again!?? This time in dark house with fireplace going. Previously in another house. Didn't feel particularly scared. Explanation that if he shows up more than 18% of the time, you have the virus? He was like a big long dreadlocks wig standing maybe over 6 feet tall. Weird day residue from the Ebola virus news story. / I am looking up at constellations in the sky and notice one is particularly bright. I point it out to someone and all the sudden it looks very normal no longer super bright and I realize that I'm dreaming. When I first saw it it was like almost as bright as the moon. It was mostly semi circular in shape. I haven't had one of these night sky based DILDs in a while and was excited to see this. Took a walk last night during sunset and could already see some beautiful stars and the moon and afterwards watched two tv shows about space on the
    Science Channel. Anyway, I flew up into the sky wanting to head closer to the constellation but, I started experiencing strong vibrations...possibly day residue from reading Sensei's dream journal. I play with the vibrations trying different levels of softly or more aggressively clenching my eyes to check the effect and I start to see a scene form
    but I lose it and wake up. / I travel through two big rectangular levels of what seems most like an apartment building. I pass many different DC's. In one area on the first floor near where I started there's a party going on that seems somewhat Mardi Gras themed. I give a few head nods to the party goers as we pass. I am with my wife and son. I get down to the end of that hall coming down towards the next level and there is another party going on mostly younger crowd than the previous one. As I am observing the second group I notice my son and wife has left but I retraced my steps and find them and get mad at
    them for leaving me back there not telling me that they were walking away. / there's an appointment before 5pm Wednesday that I need to make for a side gig that is in conflict with my work schedule. / I am in this club-like or party setting and there is some kind of neon sculpture on the wall of a woman's butt. I think about the earlier party dream and the connection between the two seems to be what makes me lucid. I go down to the right and then right again into a little wing of this club or whatever it is and there is this beautiful petite thin black woman sitting between two big black guys. At first I ignore them but then I decided it's a great way to test or prove my level of lucidity to myself and strengthen it...and it's better not to have any interference from any unfriendly DC's. I say something like hey you don't mind if I borrow her for a moment (more like a Jedi mind trick statement...not a question). Cool! I reach over and give a handshake (dc interact) to the big guy on the right. She gets up and approaches me and I asked her to remove her top. She was wearing a bikini-like top and she revealed beautiful smallish perky breasts. I whip off both her bottom piece and my clothes in one TK swoop of my hands as if the clothes were never there. I lift her up and she wraps her legs around me, with me inserted inside of her. I walk around the club lifting her body up and down occasionally on my (ahem) enjoying this awesome scene for a while. I just remembered this detail > I see another woman, maybe latino, with large breasts and I ask her to remove her top and as she does I see man boobs and look up and she is now a chubby black guy. I poke at his man boobs and joke with him in a friendly way. < I walk back towards where I first entered and over to my left is a different wing that looks like a bedroom. I approach it and there is another beautiful woman inside slouching on a bed and the first woman has disappeared off of me. I approach the second woman she has dark hair , she is white and wearing pink lingerie. The bed coverings are also in silky pink. I lay down on the bed and gently start making out with her then straight to intercourse for a little while before
    waking up...I think for real. / I doze back off doing some mental recall but wake into a false awakening and my wife and son is there and I start to tell them about becoming lucid but then I remember that they don't like the idea of "messing with dreams" like that (memory was slow to catch up and I am not lucid). I instead told them about the dream regarding the appointment before 5pm since it is fairly ordinary and it shouldn't take any offense to me remembering an ordinary dream! The transition after the above is not clear in my memory, it must have either another FA or a transition within that last scene but I saw the woman from the bedroom in the earlier dream and instantly knew I was dreaming again! I walked over to her as she was walking away into a hallway and I caught up with her. We started making out they're in the hallway end another blonde woman who was apparently her sister comes out of the bedroom and I start kissing her as well! We are making out (dc interact) in the hall and they start inching me towards the bathroom. For once the DC's are taking charge and I don't mind! We get into the bathroom and it seems as if their idea was for some privacy and I think for a moment about closing the door behind us but remind myself that there is no need, this is all a dream. They both go down and my pants and underwear are gone and they both started going at my (ahem) and I am just looking down fascinated at the realism and highly enjoying the two of them who both seem very skilled! I wake up smiling ear to ear and after trying to go back in, I roll over and pulled out my hidden paper dream journal to write down a few quick notes so that I don't forget any details. After some quick notes I experiment with getting to sleep quickly using two short (combined senses) SSILD cycles that take no more than about 5-7 seconds. I do quickly get to either advanced dreamlets or the beginnings of dreams that I seem to be scaring away
    being a little too alert. This night I was reminded of my other theory that I was experimenting with two nights ago but forgot to log that basically says that if you maintain awareness into HI's and then go to sleep then you are more likely to have a DILD. That has probably been said before but much of this process is all about discovering things for yourself. 185-187

    I was considering what to do about my extended RC's specifically for the competition having become so rote. During my RC's I invoke the feeling of becoming lucid, slow myself down and then run through my goals for the competition. I had been doing this since maybe the 2nd or 3rd night and I had a long list of items to complete. I completed roughly half of the ones I had worked out ahead of time quite a number of nights back while lucid. After that I just worked on the 2nd half of my goals during the extended RC's during the day...but since the last half was the same as it had always been, it felt worn out and tired so yesterday I decided to just focus on doing anything fun for my next lucid. I think this made me more excited about getting lucid and resulted in a very fun triple!

      Alright, time to read my lucid stories . . . .

      lifting her body up and down occasionally on my (ahem)
      Got quite the chuckle out of your (ahem) modesty

      I really liked the first dream a lot--being out and seeing the night sky and flying up like that: sounds really, really wonderful.

      Sounds like a pretty cool experience overall! And judging from your tag cloud, you use SSILD a lot? How do you feel that works for you? Just wondering; it seems to be one of the more popular techniques these days. More effective than MILD or autosuggestion? Great dreams, man! Thanks for sharing the (ahem) experience!

      Thank you ThreeCat! I love the night sky...yes, it is a wonderful backdrop to become lucid in! Yes I do use SSILD all the time (though I often don't put it in my tag cloud anymore) and I think it is a significant piece of the puzzle for me. As far as being more effective...I am not sure, but it seems to be for many people...though it is not for everyone. The way I do it is quite a bit different and then that experiment toward the end of my posting is another variation of using a quick cycling of the senses to relax me for quicker return to sleep in the late morning when REM is closer together.

      That's quite some action you had there, haha. How do you keep yourself from going into "caveman mode"? I always kind of lose myself when I get anywhere near that kind of fun.

      Your caveman mode was awesome. I have never been successful when I get there, I immediately wake up. Share some tips .....

      Thank you all! I think the biggest reasons people "wake up" from sex in a lucid include: that they had read that it is common to wake up in those situations and incorporated it into their schemas; they get too excited; they are at the end of REM anyway; or they "wake up" into an FA and eventually a real awakening...so always watch out for FA's by doing an RC when you "wake up!" Of course I have gotten a lot of practice since it is one of my more common LD activities.

      Congratulations, fogelbise, great series! This sounded right up your alley to me:

      I flew up into the sky wanting to head closer to the constellation
      And you are an ace at the "DC interact" skill!

      Hey, I noticed you say that you use SSILD to help yourself get back to sleep by using rapid cycling? Would you mind walking through that for me just a bit? I've sometimes wound up feeling a little too awake if I SSILD later in the morning and it sounds like your method would be a help there!

      Thank you CL!! So I focus on sight, hearing, then tactile in the same breath and do this twice...and may repeat later if it didn't have the relaxing effect I was going for. This is more effective for mini-awakenings. For WBTB where I am more awake afterwards I do these combined cycles the same way but much more than twice. Doing it twice takes maybe 5-7 seconds whereas my regular SSILD routine may be more like 5-7 minutes. Let me know if I didn't explain that well. What do you think about the HI theory? In the mini-awakenings when I do this my head feels heavier (perhaps the head sinking into pillow feeling that some describe) and I start getting HI's quicker in many cases and this seems to be a good sign that I can go ahead a doze off and have a good chance to carry enough awareness into my dreams to get a DILD.

      Fogelbise, thanks so much for this excellent description! I waited to get back to you until after I tried this, and I have to say that it worked very well!

      What's funny is that while I was doing it, I got the sense that it was requiring a lot of concentration to do all of a cycle in just one breath. I thought all of that "thinking" would keep me awake. But I actually found that instead it helped rapidly squeeze other thoughts out of my head, so when the cycles slowed down, I was "prepped" for the real thing (if not asleep already!)

      Has that been your experience with it as well?

      It sounds like this might be a great way to lead into SSILD in general. Starting with super fast cycles, moving to medium cycles, and then moving into the longer, slower cycles toward the end. Maybe the starting point could be based on current level of wakefulness.

      What do you think? And thanks again for the write-up and advice, it was very useful!

      My question: were you holding your breath while doing the cycles? If so, you will probably notice that the slower you breathe, the slower your mind thinks. If you're not breathing, it is relatively easy to not think. Just a thought?

      EDIT: And sorry, fogelbise, for jacking your DJ

      @CanisLucidus - it sounds like we are probably still doing it a liitle differently, but as you and I know, techniques ofter work better when you find your own little variation...so I would run with the way you were doing it and only adjust it as needed. I also "prime the pump" of SSILD in a way I didn't mention above, but it is very similar to the way you were talking about using the rapid cycling as the primer. My primer seems especially useful if you're still too sleepy to think about doing the rapid cycles properly. let me know if you want more information, but you might want to keep going with what you tried out.

      @ThreeCat no worries of course! With all of your LD related reading, I know there are things to learn from you.

      Thanks for the thoughts, guys!

      I was breathing very slowly to get the full cycle in one breathe-in/breathe-out cycle. Slow breathing no doubt helps with relaxation too!
