Dream incubation means thinking about where you want to go and what you want to do in your dreams while you are awake.

aww man..I got too excited so I couldnt sleep well

couldnt calm myself lol

**Alpha502** · 07-09-2011 02:48 PM

I didn't make it there, but I did have some really weird non-lucid dreams. None of them involved a pyramid.

**Katsuno** · 07-09-2011 02:50 PM

I had no luck either

I remember 4 dreams fully but in none of them was any sign of the chichen itza. Well but the motivation from the group made me almost have a wild (when I transisioned into the dream I somehow lost focus and entered a nd)

I'll try to get to the chichen itza every night now even when there isn't a meeting (just in case so I can be there at least non-lucid)

I told this shared dreaming my korean friend yesterday, and he couldnt update his information here, but he tried it.(for EST timezone, he slept at 3~5PM) he made it to the temple, but he didnt see anyone.... he woke up at 5:27, so the EST time should be 4:27 AM. anyway this turned out no luck.

the idea he gave me was graffiti on the temple, so we could see who went to the temple..

That is a nice idea but... in shared dreams the details are sometimes different for each other. For example somebody plays music in a dream the other person might hear a different tune. So with the graffiti we probably couldn't say which was from which person

**Oneironautic** · 07-09-2011 03:26 PM

No harm in trying surely, none of this is exactly an exact science. Probabaly a really simple tag would be easiest, and least likely to change, like a letter, number or other symbol.

**hprib012** · 07-09-2011 03:31 PM

No real results on my end, I remember having a vivid non-lucid dream but I don't remember hardly any details about it. I've already had 2 smaller lucids this week so I wonder if I have reached my "quota" for the week. lol jk. That and I have been slacking on my reality checks and preparation for lucid dreaming this week so I kind of had a feeling I wasn't going to get the best results.

**Terrin** · 07-09-2011 03:42 PM

ok i'm pissed of guys.. i think i'm done with LD'ing for a while.. the past couple off nights i've been very tired but can't sleep.. i do constant reality checks and i'm just tired of it already.. my sleep schedule is trashed and my dream recall for some reason is horrible even though dreaming is all i think about.. i don't know what to do.. i'm aggravated and starting to get stressed so 'm out of the oneironauts for a while..

I'm sorry to hear that,

. Maybe just take a break and not set on a goal for LDing, just try to have LD's for the fun of it might help.

**Kumara** · 07-09-2011 03:49 PM

I had a couple of LD's but didn't manage to get anywhere near the pyramid. I remembered it as a task, but I experienced a lot of distraction and confusion and being pulled down and back by some black men snarling at me and for some reason I didn't kick their butts, it was like being in molasses.

How about most modern (19th C on) philosophers, given their penchant for assuming that one person's perception tends to be much different than another's even when they are looking at the same thing? How about questioning, with real curiosity, other people about their dream experiences for decades? How about spending two years moderating a dream forum just like this one and witnessing first-hand the results of dozens of accomplished LD'ers' attempts at shared dreaming? How about simple logic, because I assume that the universe does not operate like the Web, and English is not the language of thought energy? In other words, no specific source; I tend to rely on experience and accumulated knowledge rather than than one guy's statements. I hope that's okay.

And, if I may, what's your source, exactly? Please don't tell me --as you seem to have above, that it's what someone posted on here once; just because a person said something on DV doesn't guarantee it's truth -- even if they totally believed it themselves.

**Windhover@** · 07-09-2011 04:42 PM

this is just a fact, but my friend who majored in archaeology said that theres distracting energy around mayan temple when a person tries to approach. could it....be..?? lol

well since its close to 12 o clock I'd say no luck for me either, my dreams were very vivid but there werent any things related to the temple.

can we change the location to moon??

really?? I was thinking about 'windhover wuz here' stuff like that. or put a flag with name on it

**ReachingForTheDream** · 07-09-2011 04:48 PM

Meh, no luck. To put it bluntly, PMS = no sleep. I think I slept for about 4 hours and spent the rest of the night just lying on my bed.

So yea, I remembered like a fragment of one dream xD I don't expect to be sleeping much till maybe like next weekend.

Around th physical temple, nothing to do with the dream one. And the moon is harder to get to my friend

we don't wanna change cause it'll make us inconsistent, two attempts isn't enough to say it's too hard to get there. Alot of people got there the first time and I'm sure some people got there today. I got there but I woke up right when I got there unforunately.
Also people, I know alot of you didn't succeed but please still send me any dreams you did have. I haven't received any pm's from you guys yet.

I would if I could remember the dream I had, all I remember is it ending with some bastard womanizer working with me at my job....and me getting pissed about it.

**Atras** · 07-09-2011 06:03 PM

For everyone that can remember, please send them to me, I'll tell you why. Me and someone else might have somehow shared a dream last night even though our dreams didn't take place at chichen itza. I'll post the details later but any dream, even if it wasn't At the temple can help.

ohhhh alright

**Windhover@** · 07-09-2011 06:15 PM

cant we do this everyday?? umm not everyday, like consecutive, for 3 days... if not, why not?

**The Cusp** · 07-09-2011 06:37 PM

I couldn't sleep either, and can't remember much. Just some oddly structured right brain dreams that are hard to make sense of.

**Katsuno** · 07-09-2011 06:56 PM

For all of you who got excited: Try meditating before sleep. I was also excited as hell but then I meditated for 10 minutes (Thanks for shockwave's meditation course at the DVA

) and fell asleep immediately. Tonight I'll meditate to the image of the chichen itza and I know this will help

**hprib012** · 07-09-2011 07:01 PM

I should get back to some meditation too

**Atras** · 07-09-2011 08:39 PM

Hey, I posted all the entries I have received, if you have not sent one, please do.

I suggest you look at them, there were some connections between mine and MrIrony's dream.
And of course Nomad had an epic dream that I was in. I don't remember being in it but I didnt write down much last night anyways cause I was frusturated that I had a short ld.

And I wanna take a vote.
Please say if you would rather have a specific date for each shared dreaming attempt, or have a specific date for a three day consecutive dreaming attempt, and then have break days in between?
