      My Journey - What I've Learned - Motivation

      The first thing that comes to mind that I'd like to share is that intent is crucial, or even "key" to lucid dreaming. Last night I lay in bed and repeated - meditated with a mantra perhaps --- three sentences.
      1. I will have a lucid dream tonight.
      2. I will remember my dreams.
      3. I will <Insert Intent or Goal Here>

      I did that for a good 40 minutes. It worked like a charm! I had a dream and within that dream I had the opportunity to control what I was going to do, and I did it! I know this isn't my dream journal so I won't bore you, however I will despense some thoughts and perhaps some insight that I've gathered from my experience as a lucid dreamer (If I'm even qualified to call myself that.)Something phenomenal happened as well that I'd like to share.

      First off I appreciate you reading this. My last lucid dream was a bit cloudy, or perhaps it was my memory of it. I've also had a dream that had more detail than waking reality. I recall looking at a marvelous building, but I don't think I was lucid then. I'm yet to start logging my dreams but that is soon to change. My thought is that being aware of ones surroundings and the details in the reality is what is very important. I don't recall becoming lucid I just remember remembering that I indeed had control over my self/my actions in a place that was not ordinary. Some things that I have learned is to take your time during your reality checks. Time is a weird thing. ( The band Linkin Park just popped in my head.) Time is a weird thing and seconds can be minutes and moments can seem eternal or so it seems. Life is 90/10 right now... What I mean is waking life takes up 90 percent of my time and dreams are the other 10 percent. I have some controversial thoughts and ideas that I would like to explore with lucid dreaming and the community...

      I'm a beginner, and I know the importance of dream journaling but I think dream analysis should be a big part of learning to lucid dream consistently. This is something that has helped me. I'd love to use lucid dreaming to learn things once the more primal things become mundane. Music, guitar, singing, those things appeal to me.

      I just wanted to say hi to the fellow members and share.

      I almost forgot!


      One night I was laying in bed meditating so I could fall asleep, when suddenly I saw a white arm come out of my right arm and proceed to be "pulled" towards the ceiling. I "woke up" out of excitement because it was such a marvelous feat and experience. I won't say Aliens. Any idea what that is a symptom of? OBE perhaps? Astral Projection?

      There was also a time I heard a VERY loud ringing in my ears with a bass undertone right before I fell asleep. Any ideas what that may have been?

      Keep in mind these are MAJOR experiences that I can only compare to the night I lost my virginity. Perhaps more.

      I hope that this all is normal here and youre getting a good chuckle out of how naive I am! Please keep in mind this is 100 percent real and I'm not lieing.


      This post didn't really turn out how I wanted to, I left out a lot of detail expecting you all to "know what I'm sayin" but I hope the read wasn't too painfull. I look forward to reading your replies even if it's just a line with bad punctuation.

      Yeah your right dream recalls and dream journals importance.
      As for that very loud ringing is probably weird side effects of falling asleep with awareness. There are many of those you read about them from this forum.
      Obe and lucid dreaming is matter of belief. Im not sure are they same. I just call em different types of dreams. The white arm could be hallucination or dream but its hard to say with only that kind of descripions. I stop categorizing those experiences since they are just way beyond my understanding. I just call them side effects of sleep.

      Actually, now that you mention the ringing, I heard that sound when I meditated and kept awareness on a certain object yesterday. It's probably the awareness thing like Seltiez said above me. Yes, intent is absolutely crucial for lucid dreaming. Mantras work like a charm for this!

      Could have been an OBE or an accidental WILD. And no worries, these experiences are pretty normal here.
