The Lucid fortnight,

Hello everybody,
This is mainly meant for members who attend some form of education and will be on a 2 week Christmas break soon, well I know in the UK we are I'm pretty sure that's the same everywhere. Well I thought why not use all this time to my advantage and I'm going to try to get lucid as much as I can in this period, and anybody else is welcome to join in for The Lucid Fortnight
-The first 5 days will just be me doing reality checks and some auto suggestion while I fall asleep.
-on the first weekend I will try MILD in the morning and I will use my 'dream catalogue' idea as well
- For the next 3 days I will try all different ways of getting lucid.
- the next two days I will try WILD if I feel comfortable to do so.
- For the rest of the time I will incorporate everything I did and hopefully get loads of good lucids.
Do feel free to take part and post you lucid fortnight plan!
-GangsterPanda

I'll join up, I will only be posting my DILD's though, because thats what I really want to perfect.

I am actually done with school till at least next fall, maybe forever. :)

My plan is:
-7-8 hours of sleep every night
-Write in my DJ every morning
-Count to 10 items every time I enter a different scene and RC. (experiment :D)-
-MILD all night long (I wake up a lot :P)
-Meditate every night before bed

I just found out that when I started writing my dreams down quickly on a notepad in my phone I gained in dreams. for the last 4 weeks I have done this. I then realized the reason it seemed like more dreams is because they were lasting about 5 minutes each instead of 20-30 minutes like normal. My LD count was dropping as well and I wasn't getting more and more aware through the night, just staying "dreamlike" I switched back two days ago and my dreams got really intense and crazy!!! Had a bunch of superpowers last night, ate at a fancy restaurant this afternoon. I should have a lucid tonight, awareness is skyrocketing. :) Also, I remembered around the same amount of dreams. These were just better dreams.

You should post your results every morning here. It will be a nice place where you can analyze what you did. I will be doing the same.
starting tonight. :)

This should be fun, just two more days to go :content:
Anybody else is more than welcome to join in,

I just realized I need a lucid amount goal, because that is how I roll. :P

A fortnight is 2 weeks right? That would normally be 6 LD s, but I am gonna try for 12. And 5 goooooood ones.

Yeah a fortnight is 2 weeks, only one more day to go for me, I hope to have 4-6 lucid dreams in that time, I should be able to.
Good luck to all :content:

I'll start the same time you start so I know when to end. :P

Had a lucid this morning,
My brother learned how to program specific rock parts to act like logic gates so he could build a circuit out of a canyon. In my dream I told my auntie I had dreamed of this and I turned lucid, then the dream changed scene back to my brother and I decided to fly around the canyon a bit. After a few minutes of looking I decided to start crystalizing the rock around me using magic, all the orange canyon rock started turning colourless untilit shattered in a huge explosion leaving me floating in the middle of the unnivese, quite cool :chuckle:

IMO, you don't need to be on vacation to have lucid dreams every night.
You could have a job that has you working 12 hours a day and still lucid dream every night.
Just sayin'. It's pretty bad to place restrictions on yourself.

I always try and LD. I just like being here with people. I have been getting better and better throughout this school year and I had ft work and ft school. :)

Don't get me wrong you should always try to lucid dream because after all it is a hobby so you should be doing it all the time. The reason why i'm doing this is because well firstly school has been hell in the past few weeks and I sort of forgot to keep up with lucid dreaming, and with a vacation I thought I could get back into it. And secondly well this gives everybody a chance to really get hands on with lucid dreaming and try there best and hardest. Btw school is now officially over for me so let's get started with the lucid fortnight :content: !

Try their hardest eh?
There is no try, there is only do.
Wanting to lucid dream will not help.
You need to CHOOSE to lucid dream.
But hey, what do I know.

Thank you for the advice. I read your tutorial and I think it is pretty good. I DJ because it personally helps me stay confident. And non LDs are fun as heck.:) I like to have all my adventures recorded.

As I said I do the lucid fortnight because it is fun to share things on DV with people. Not to try harder, but to enjoy the experience more. If I do my goal here I can rejoice with others, and if they do theirs I can congratulate them and hopefully encourage them to continue., I do see where you are coming from though. ;) just don't sound so harsh with your words, they are wise things to say, but they can sound mean. :) especially with the sarcasm at the end. :P

That message is in no way meant to be harsh or mean. But that's fine if people want to get offended.:cheeky:
I am only trying to help.

Harsh but very true. Most people who only try ultimateely fail. The only way I can get constant LD's is if I have full on devotion.
I actually think the schedule of work helps to keep me lucid dreaming, during the vacation I can turn into a lazy slob.

Yeah, I need 8 hours of sleep for my job, so that helps me out a lot. :)

DAY 1
I had 4 or 5 dreams last night. One lucid.

Spoiler for last night's lucid:

I was in a place that looked similar to my old room in my parents house and was thinking about LDing. I always get confused about techniques when in my dream, but sometimes it still helps me get lucid.

I was writing on a piece of paper with a quill (something I have never done before) and I thought that I would keep writing until I fell asleep. I kept writing and then the quill stopped working correctly and I started trying to fix it, but then I thought If this isn't working, then I must be asleep!

I walked around telling everyone how I was asleep and how I had fallen asleep writing. :facepalm: didn't really realize that that meant they were DCs, but I was 100% sure I was sleeping, so it is lucid, even if it was a confused lucid.

I do not remember how it ended it happened in the middle of a few other dreams and in the middle of the night.

so 1/12 lucids on day 1 for LDs
0/5 gooooooood lucids

Got 8 hours of sleep
kept up with my mantra through the night
I have been counting
I am going to write in my DJ later... it is in the car right now
meditated for 10 minutes before bed last night

Hahah, you midas well see it that way anyway, but
I do not get my lucids through devotion.
When you attempt something like lucid dreaming your conscious mind gets in the way.
So for it to work out for you, your conscious mind has to be either fully devoted to it, or barely devoted at all.
That's the best way I can explain it, but I think it gets the message across.
Being fully devoted takes too much time and energy and doesn't get the desired result.

day 2

Only a couple fragments remembered. No LDs. I only got 6 hours of sleep and when I got up I was too busy to DJ. Twas as crappy as the bird crap I was trying to dodge in the dream.

day 3
Lots of dreams remembered. 8 hours of sleep. Didn't have much awareness until like the last dream. As long as I can get 8 hours tonight, I should have enough awareness.

Kept my mantra through the night. Even had a dream I was on DV. :(

Had a cool dream I was in the futuristic military, ans another one was on tatooine. :)
