Hi everyone! I had another dream last night that I remembered..! It wasn't a nice dream at all though, it was set in olden times.. I was a detective (I was myself yet again..!), who was trying to find evidence towards the convicts who were due to be executed. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful, and had to watch them all on their way to the guillotine. Despite having failed them, none of them had a bad word to say to me. They were all grateful that I had tried to save them..!
I was dreaming. I looked at my hands and suddenly realized I was dreaming. I did a few cool things, such as sticking my body through a window, and using telekinesis on one object. Interestingly, it felt like I could feel pain in the lucid. The dream ended. Yay for my first lucid!
We all knew it was coming, and soon a great ball of fire would consume the earth. I had some time to prepare with my father and mother, we said our goodbyes, and then I went off into the woods to go it alone. Maybe I would survive if I was up north enough. The apocalypse never came. I came down from the mighty forest a man more thirsty for life than ever. I took the bus into the city and the subway into the downtown. I saw massive parties, and my old friends suddenly wanted to hang out with me and join in on the lifestyle. I snuck in places and just enjoyed every moment.
So. MILD DOES work. It's just that it takes a tad bit more effort than I originally envisioned. I decided to try my hand at MILD again considering that the common denominator between this and meditation(my most successful technique) is concentration. Active concentration and not daydreaming which is what both MILD and meditation demand during a WBTB period. All I did was wake up 4-6 hours and use the restroom. Then I just lied back down, visualized and repeated the mantra: The next time that I am dreaming, I will find Naomi. The visualization was of me standing in front of Naomi outside of my house. Of course, other thoughts arose but I immediately brought my focus back to my mantra+visualization. Easier said than done. I met Naomi at least twice this morning. Her form was shapeshifting since I have ballpark idea of what she should look like and I am no master of visualization. Sometimes, she average-woman height. Another time she is basketball-player height. She said, "what's up?" and we shook hands. I don't remember much afterwards. My dream recall needs serious work. Heck I didn't even realize I had SEVERAL lucid dreams until I woke up this morning and thought about what happened.
Got to bed before midnight! Yes! A fairly nice night of dreaming, too. Noticed wakings, realized I had woken (in several cases directly from dreams). Up at about 4-5 hours for bathroom break. Right back to sleep. Set strong intention before bed. Did red pearl in throat visualization falling asleep at bedtime. Early recall vague. Early: + I'm pooping in a stall open to the room in a public bathroom. The water level in the toilet is odd, it's now up to the rim, it's overflowing? Eek! I'm doing my business and things are "moving along," and I notice a guy standing at a sink nearby. Things get clogged and I have to reach back behind me and start pulling it out, yuck. The toilet is clogged and I have to ask for something to unplug it with. Middle: + Adventure theme. I save a girl from automatically closing blast doors (that slam down from the ceiling to the floor). I'm standing under them worrying about them closing and jump out of the way to the left just in time. The girl still has her foot caught and flattened a bit by the door. + Athletics: stretching with two other people (guy and a girl?). It's all about running fast and starting out quickly at the beginning. We're doing an exercise on the ground that involves pushing ourselves up and getting pulled by the friends. It's hard but I push myself up (on one arm?) and reach my other arm out, it's taken by the friends, and I pull myself up using that the rest of the way. + In an underground house complex set down from the street. I'm walking back (after the athletics above?) to the stairway. I see a guy I remember (son of the family who lives there?) lounging lying/sitting on the stairway with another person lying intimately on top of him. I'm trying to determine the gender of the second person, blonde hair, fair features, I decide it's a guy. "Yeah, I always thought he [first guy] was gay." Moving on, I go up the stairs to an upstairs hallway, (and am hanging out with some girls?) Later: + [long, vivid] I'm visiting the house of a huge family. Multiple generations of families live in this massive house. I'm looking for a bathroom and I head upstairs. I'm having trouble finding a bathroom and this is getting exasperating, how hard could it be? I open a door in a wall that I see reveals a parallel hallway to the one I'm in, and I think these are the "private quarters" hallway only for the families who live there. I see a far-along pregnant woman in that hallway who indicates that's off-limits to me, and points me to a bathroom in my hallway. I find a room with sinks in front of a mirror but it turns out to be a kitchen? There is a plate with a slice of pizza [DREAMSIGN] on it and I think about eating it? +(f) I walk past a kitchen counter (with stove?) of a house and turn the corner and I'm in an outdoor market. I'm thinking about this house being in the market. + Outdoors, night/dark, walking down a sidewalk, I encounter a (female?) police officer dressed fully in a heavy set of gear, with many things on her utility belt, walking the other way. I come to an intersection and am waiting for a walk indicator but notice that there are no working lights in the traffic light on the street. Continuing on a man walking the same way as me. I notice a group off to the right of people sitting at outdoor tables and I head in their direction. I see a pretty girl sitting at one of the tables, she has long, blonde hair. I do a nose pinch and keep walking towards the table. WAIT...could I breathe just then? Do another nose pinch, it's a bit ambiguous, but air moves so I conclude I'm dreaming. I approach the girl sitting at the table (and she's bald now? I don't care). I tell/will her to get up on the table and pull down her pants and say "show us your (ahem)". Her parents are at the table and say she doesn't have to do that. I lose lucidity shortly after that and don't recall the rest...
#506 - DEILD - 12:11AM I have a moment where I am in between dream and wake. I'm not quite sure if it's another In-Dream-WILD or an actual DEILD. I relax and rely on "muscle memory" to effortlessly transition. Apparently, my alternate self has been sleeping the back of a 50's model Buick. I am in some show room full of classic cars. Not being particularity interested, I pass them by and enter a big open room like some sort of carpeted gymnasium. The place feels familiar like something from my past. I am so excited to be in a lucid dream that I let out a big whooping shout as I explore the area. There is a spot with some benches and I see my mother sitting there. Next my younger sister and my brother materialize in adjacent seats. We've had tensions in waking life and I feel the desire to avoid them, but I decide they showed up for a reason. I approach them all and for some reason, I great them with a handshake. No one speaks so I feel like I don't have to deal with whatever my subC is throwing at me. I move on.... "Hey Mike." It's my sister. I sigh and turn around, "What do you want?" My sister blandly states that my mother 'really wants my company'. I guess really need to call my parents in waking life. I nod and turn to the spot where my mother is setting, but she has vanished. Sweet, I don't have to talk to some robotic representation of my family anymore. I'm totally off the hook here! As I rush away from the area the dream fades. I remain focused and transition back into the dream state actively climbing back out that same Buick. This time the cars disappear and I am some cheaply rendered deep space nebula field. I move on and I renter the gymnasium. This time the dream fades for good.
