    Masonc1's TF-Filled Dream Journal

    Hello. My name is Mason, I am basically a WILD expert (in the sense that I can use this technique consistently), and my dream journal is mostly going to focus on one thing: Transformation.

    I think this is one of the most fun things you can do in a dream, and I'm always looking to change my shape somehow.

    I like all kinds of transformations, so there's really nothing sacred here, and I'm a fan of several strange kinds too.

    For some reason, I'm overly fond of the transformations of inflation and weight gain, but most of the time my goals are to become
    more standard creatures. There's still going to be a lot of inflation though, because I find it to be a very easy transformation to go through.
    I recommend it... at least once

    It's possible I find myself going back to it because it's just easier than others. I'm not very good at getting detailed transformations yet. Typically, the dream ends while I'm in the process. But I still try, and I'll definitely get a really good one soon! I focus on dragons a lot, because who doesn't like dragons?

    So I'm a little strange or silly, but I write about what I go through and the people with the same interests ought to find me.

    I post the same dreams to LD4All so there's a fuller backlog on my LD4All account of all my dreams. Sometimes I will reference an "LC" in my dreams, and this refers to ld4all's lucidity challenge; not Dreamview's.

    1. Three Short WILDs

      I got into bed and just decided to go through my usual process for WILD instead of turning off completely. There are a lot of naps I take where I just practice going to sleep instead of practicing WILD. This time, I just went with my old strategy of not talking to myself and actively reminding myself not to talk to myself without using any words.

      So I go to bed laying down on my stomach in a very comfortable position. HI starts up extremely fast. Or maybe I missed it. I began to feel a little funny and it wasn't SP. The lower half of my body begins to lift off the bed with a sensation that felt exactly like the times I had inflated myself before. I contemplate going with that, but I'm still not anchored into the dream and I didn't want to do anything that was going to interfere while I could still feel my real body. I tried to move my hand and it didn't work, so I could tell the dream wasn't quite ready.

      I try to replace the floating sensation because there's an association with inflation and waking up in me right now. (I'm trying to remove this, because I do like the sensation otherwise.) The dark dream like state fills with water and it has a very refreshing feeling. I'm content floating in it, but I didn't really get rid of the inflated feeling. The water has the pattern of beach waves, and I get tossed forward and backward gently, floating halfway in the water. I don't offer any resistance to it.

      I take my hand out of the water to see what would happen, and some bubbles appeared. I laughed, because I didn't have to think about the bubbles for any to come. The subconscious expectation has such a power that I can barely wait to start messing with it. A wave knocks over my head and I'm breathing underwater for a moment. I think about how dangerous this would be if I couldn't choke in real life.

      I took another WILD nap today and had basically the exact same dream. The only difference, was that at the beginning, instead of avoiding inflation I tried to embrace it. I remembered that if I could initiate flight I would get some points for the LC. I didn't really start the transformation (that I could see, but I felt a little different) but I at least started floating more definitely than last night.
      The dream still filled with water despite me not going for that this time, so it really seems like a huge copy.
      I was going to try getting out of bed when my phone rang.

      4/24/13
      So I waited until the usual time before taking a nap again. I did more or less the same thing, but saw a bit less HI. I was planning on summoning the persona of someone I knew.
      The same as the last two nights, I had a feeling of being lifted off the bed. The difference was that the previous two nights, it felt like I was being hoisted upwards by myself (A consequence of associating the lift with inflation), but this time it really only felt like my bed wasn't there. This was how my mind was presenting sleep paralysis onset, so I waited for sleep paralysis this time. Once the floating sensation transitioned to sleep paralysis, I did a DEILD roll and entered a complete dream version of my room at night.
      I thought about summoning that dream character, but I didn't get very far before it destabilized. I don't remember what went wrong here, but I probably didn't strengthen the dream vividness enough.
