The drinks are on me folks...in the "Bar Lucid" in the Purple Hills

[LukeSid]

Lucid dream #2 last night. I'll post full details on my dream journal. Being the self-doubter I am I was again not 100% sure at first, but there was just too much detail and too much "first-person tactile" experience to be anything else. Lottery winners must experience this feeling. "Have I really won? Am I dreaming?" Well we are mate, because that's what it's all about to us! I'm putting an unlimited-tab over the bar, so just help yourselves to food and drink. Where's the "Bar Lucid"? Why, in the Purple Hills of course...well, it will be when I get round to it. First I've got to drain the Methane Swamp...then's there's the bridge over the Tar-pits...and I've got to start recruiting the oompa loompas... better set up a small township first...and I've got the four-lane super highway to build. Hold on...I'll do some calculations. One, maybe two LDs a week...I really must learn DEILD...then there's the learning-curve...gotta walk before I fly...build in a margin of error for the holidays...and illness...and will I run out of blueberries? Add that all together and I reckon the grand-opening will be... 2025...if I'm still alive....still, anticipation is half the pleasure isn't it...enjoy partyguy.gif

It's a deal, I'll see you there within the year once I get my list of "must-dos" taken care of LD #2 is the real accomplishment I recall reading, well done!

Great job! I might just have me some whiskey jk i dont drink but noone knows that in dreams! >:-) Erm...might have to put the opening date back a bit. So far, I've not had LD#3 so I'm just recalcing...erm have to assume 2 LD's per month tops at the moment + half the oompah loompahs didn't turn up + The Purple Hills Planning Authority are getting a bit sniffy about the strippers...so probably 2054 is a better estimate...and that would make me 110 y.o. Well...I can but hope. Anyway, a selection of non-alcoholic beverages will be available...if I make it, that is cheerssmall.gif

Congrats! It might take much less time than you expect. And i don't drink either, but like Paige says, in dreams why not. So i hope you will have some dragon-sized cups by then.

I drink socially once in a while, but I basically haven't touched a drop since starting "lucid living." My diet is also way improved, no junk food, tons of fruits/vegetables, focusing on the dream-enhancing whole foods (tryptophan, choline, etc.). Also I plan to get exercise every day to help with getting regular sleep (getting back to sleep for the "final round", after about 6 hours of sleep, when all the really juicy long REM cycles hit, is a bit of a challenge for me, MILD visualizations really wake me up.) So lucid living is going to get my into top shape I think, I've already lost probably 5-10 pounds, for one thing not eating too much too close to bed time.

I've changed my eating habits really. I do the 5 - 2 diet (although I eat rather a lot on the 5 days so any weight loss is fairly low) But I'm eating blueberries and coleslaw nearly every day because of their alleged benefits as brain food and, to a point it's worked...immediately after a dream I can spot the dream-signs that would trigger lucidity...all I have to do now is spot them inside the dream. Doh! I've created a dream-sign where anything that makes me feel puzzled, amazed, scared, annoyed, amused...I even threw in aroused (more in hope than anger) I think trying for lucidity does trigger a lifestyle change...I've even forced my self to do a few walks (not enough yet though) I now can sense when I'm in the ideal times for dream attempts during the day...do you get that? I get slightly trembly and I get the "eyeballs" a slight flashing in the eyes. I just had a mega hit and went for a nap...now the biggest mulching machine I've ever seen (or heard) is outside, demolishing a tree Doh! (again) Keep it up mate. Looks like you'll be on Mars before me...if so, plant a flag so I'll know you've been...hopefully, when I get there.

There's only thing keeping yourself in change, and that's you. Good four you, keep at it! I haven't had any lucids lately, I've been way too busy with my study. I'm going to start recording my dreams again, and I came up with a cool trick to try a WILD. Whenever I drink a sip of water I wake up 4-6 hours after falling asleep, I can use this time to give WILD a go. Lately the worth of books has been introduced to me, as well as writing any given thought down if you like it. Let's try it tonight. But for now I'm buzzing to some music after a pretty cool day of school.
