[COLOR="silver"]Even though I drank last night and went to bed pretty late, I still did an EILD attempt.
This time I didn't woke up from the message, but I didn't hear it either, so this was probably not a technique for me.
I am going to start using the timer method that I used before and I am going to experiment with this until I foudn the perfect setup again. This DEILD-Alarm kind of way of inducing lucid dreams, is the best way for me to pracctise, because every awakening is an attempt. When I fall asleep I have the chance to get aware and I am more aware, because of these awakenings. But on every awakening I am in the perfect relaxed state, what people around here call sleep paralysis, but I would just call it mind awake body asleep, but I am not dreaming yet. That's the tricky part.
But now I have lots of oppurtunities to pracctise just that.

It will be tough in the beggining, but the more I pracctise this the easier it gets.

Anyway this night I did one more attempt of meditation, and I have found that I do fall asleep, but I wake back up so it's a good way of staying aware, although it's very frustrating and uncomfortable, so I am not going to do it anymore.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I had a dream about me an my family being threaten by a man with a gun. We managed to escape and we took my fathers car, but one of the sidedoors got broken. Then I don't remember anything more.

I was in a mall with my friend Tom. We went into a videostore, which also had videogames in it. So I just looked around, but then I saw two girls. Louise and Robyn, my old classmates. We started to talk and they laughed to everything, so it was weird, but I didn't realised that it was a dream. Then we went out of that store to grab some coffe.
A girl named Hanna described how good coffe should taste.

Then I had a dream about No Ordinary Family (I saw the last episode right before I went to bed).[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]The timer method was something that I learned from Lucidology, but when I talked about lucid dreaming with my teacher, she said that she had have a lucid dream. I asked how did you get it? Oh I have it very often, by snoozing with my alarm clock. I said what do you do in your lucid dream? "I control what I want to dream" she said, "But don't you know that you can control that world just like you control this one?!" She was quiet for a second and then she said "Oh I have never thought about that.. I have allways thought that it's just a dream.".

I will see how it goes, but this is the way of pracctise that I have worked the best for me, so I don't doubt that I will have great result.

Btw new rank on the Dream Journal software: Lucid Dreamer!!! Wohoo.[/COLOR]

This will be quick.

I was walking around and I instantly knew I was dreaming.
"Man, this isn't as fun now,"I complained. I was so busy complaining that it wasn't taking any effort at all to lucid dream now, that I completely forgot that I could do whatever I wanted. No, I didn't forget I was dreaming.
"Whatever. I'll just type the dream on DreamViews,"I muttered.
Though, before I woke up, I realized that only complaining and doing absolutely nothing would result in a boring entry.

Therese is writing with a pencil on a piece of paper, Mary is there, I help Therese learn alphabet.

Lame dream.

A and I are coming home and she began to hear a noise ... we saw a beetle.
The beetle was near a water pipe at the corner of our apartment.
Next to our apartment there is a house with walls made of tiles, with decorations in dark blue.
Suddenly two neighbors appear and we all try to take a picture of the beetle, but no one could.
The beetle is light brown and have wings and hieroglyphs in the head, of various colors.
Suddenly the beetle changes color, becoming all black and blue with green reflections.

Dream - Lucid

There was some plot line to this dream, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was.

I was in a dim room, sitting on a dark red couch with my best friend Mk and someone else, though I'm not sure who. I think it was a guy. Mk was sitting in between this other person and me. I started to feel really tired, so I cuddled up next to Mk and laid my head on her shoulder to fall asleep. I felt her lay her head on mine as my eyes closed to go to sleep.

The next thing I know, I'm up and walking around outside in a parking lot. It was sometime in the evening; the sun was starting to set. Someone from a big, white van yells to me
"Hey! Krista!"
I turn to my right, and I see the outline of a person in this van. I could only see the outline due to a huge glare in my vision from the sun. At first I thought it was Ryan, but as I got closer, it was a guy in about his mid-20s with brown hair. He looked very youthful; you could see it in his eyes. I had no idea who he was, though.

He kept talking to me, and I kept responding, when suddenly, he said
"You have no idea who I am, do you?" When he said that, I looked at him, and he looked like this polysomnographic sleep technician (who is a woman) I worked with the other night in waking life. She has short brown hair in a pixie cut. I kept thinking maybe it was her, but something in the back of my head said I was wrong.
I ignored the comment and kept talking to the person. They didn't seem to notice that I had avoided their question.

[COLOR="silver"]I went to bed and did the sleep deprivation experiment and I managed to do it for a little longer, but I gave up as usual, but this time I experienced new things.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="lightblue"]I started to think random thoughts and tried to do like a buddhist and just observe them, but instead I focused on them, and the black space infront of me started to create vague images, I lost my awareness in this stage, but i was still awake in some weird way or maybe I was dreaming and was just aware of the non-rem dreams, I don't know. [/COLOR][COLOR="silver"]I looked at the clock and I had been laying there for 1 hour! The next day was going to be my 18:th birthday, so I was pretty excited about that and i went to sleep.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I had a very longer never ending dream about me being in my school. I was in love with a girl and she was also interested in me. Normally I am very nervous around her, so I usually doesn't talk to her...
But in this dream it wasn't me it was my subconscious saying everything it wanted and suddenly she was interested in me. It felt unreal, but I never become lucid. I was holding her hand and we were talking about a lot of stuff.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="silver"]My alarmclock woke me up, I tried to fall back to sleep. I did fall asleep, but my EILD alarm was to loud this time instead of too low, so I woke up..[/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]When the EILD alarms stopped I was back in that school and I realised that the girl wasn't interested in my anymore. I asked my friend Andriano what had happend? But he just said "She's in love with someone else".
I was heartbroken... I then walked to her to talk to her, but I noticed that I was walking in a really weird way, I asked "Oh so this is one of the reason?!" she said "yeah, but.." but I walked away. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I woke up to my parents singing and forgot all about this sad dream :( :D Anyway I have done some progress with my meditation and method of staying conscious so I hope that I some day don't have to say that I am gonig to sleep, instead I am going to say I am going to Nirvana! Which I believe is a state of dreaming.
I'll be back =)[/COLOR]

Dream Fragment: Contribute to not enough hours of sleep.
Was moving out of a house with Allen. Apparently we needed to get everything out THAT NIGHT. I had finished most all of it but my closet was still full of clothes and some miscellaneous boxes. Once again I seem to be having a dream about moving and having a ghost in the closet. I was generally in a good mood and was very energetic. However, I was frightened of seeing that ghost that lived in closet and I was working as fast as I could to get everything our before it got dark out. My grandma Lou was there too, which provided me some comfort. I remember throwing things into the back of my car and getting upset at how messy it was making my car
*memory laps*
Me and allen are driving in my car late at night. We see a group of “gangsters” on a street corner. Loud rap music is bumping and it looks as if a fight between rival gangs is about to break out. Allen and I roll up our windows and turn on our dance music. We both laugh at ourselves

Sleep 10:00 pm
10/5/10

Smoked last night, terrible recall.

Was driving on a motorcycle to taco bell (could have previously been lucid, I don't remember if the dream started like that or not). I was driving on the main road in my town, and I didn't have my permit for a motorcycle. I quickly zoom through traffic, but the bike was not accelerating. I end up trying to find a parking spot, and I think I can't fit because the space was too big? Anyway, a geek squad car just corners into the parking lot and steals my spot. I was pissed and then I realized I was inside the building. I was walking around trying to find the bathroom or something and someone was with me.

[COLOR="silver"]This night I used a rope instead of my elbow, to cover my eyes. If you want to try this, just use something to cover your eyes that gives a slight pressure on the eyes, not much, but just to make you unable to open they eyes. A sleeping mask just cover the eyes, but I can still open the eyes. So I lay in my bed on my back and started daydreaming and think about my day, then I got to the random thought stage again. I remember that my body started working against me and giving me unfomrotable sensations of giving up, and as usual I couldn't resist them. So in a reflex I got out of bed and throw the uncovered my eyes.

This was a good attempt, because I didn't fell asleep unconsciously and I could still focus on my thoughts, so all I need now is just a little patience while doing this and I might experience some non-physical sensations.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I dreamt about a girl named Olivia. In this dream we were a couple and we took happy pictures of us on her macbook.
I remembered that I was bothered with my hairstyle, so I had to fix it over and over again. I also remember that we had a videoconversation with my classmates Martin and David.

Then I was on a bus, don't remember what happend next though.

I were on a theater with my class, we complained over the seats, because we could only hear the actors not see them.. But then they changed scene and we were in a perfect seat and all the other had to change seats instead. Weird dream as usual so it's not even explainable.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I didn't woke up from my WBTB alarm.. and the EILD alarms wasn't loud enough for me to hear, for some strange reason. So the next night I will make my WILD attempt before bed and then hopefully I will wake up to the WBTB.[/COLOR]

I remember running away from something at this compound and it was really scary and so I ran out to this area to where this guy was at and I asked him to call a chopper in to get me out of here. So one cane and the guy said it would take a while, so the pilot began to circle the area and he was taking a while and when he was gonna land his nose hit The ground and it like was a plane now so me and this kid ran into a ditch to stay covered. I then asked the guy if we could get farther away. The kid told me it was a bad idea.

This Dream I canonly remember a few items.

I was in anopen aired swimming pool and was swimming in the nude. As I swam towards a friend (no one in particular, just knew this person was my friend), I realised that I was the only one naked. This didn't embarass me, I just didn't want to be going counter to everyone else. left as inconspicuousely as I couldto the changing roomand came back fully clothed with shorts and a shirt similar to how my friend was dressed.

Shiver me timbers!
This may be becoming a series. Not as good as the first, but still amazing.


I recommend this song for everybody reading.

Yeah, I bet that scared away most people.
Anyway;


I remember being in my math class. Everyone was standing up and doing some combination of square dancing, a sort of Irish tap dance, and Mexican hat dancing. Everybody had just begun to sing the pirate song; I joined in and picked up easily.

Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate!

Yar - har - fiddle-dee-dee, being a pirate is all right to be!
Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate!

We got us a map (a map!) to lead us to a hidden box,
Thats all locked up with locks (with locks!) and buried deep away.
We'll dig up the box (the box!), we know it's full of precious booty
Burst open the locks, and then we'll say 'HOORAY!'

WEIGH ANCHOR!

At this point, three, including me, broke off into a short shanty, like a rap to accompany the full song.

I'm I pirate, that I be!
I sail a ship upon the sea, dawg,
I stay up late, 'till half past three!
And that be a peg below my knee!

Everyone came back to the full song. Good, I'm not a fan of rap.

Yah - har - fiddle-dee-dee, being a pirate is all right to be!
Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate!

Arr - yarr - ahoy and avast, dig in the dirt and you dig in it fast!
Hang the black flag at the end of the mast! You are a pirate!

We're sailing away (set sail!), adventure waits on every shore!
We set sail and explore (ya-har!) and run and jump all day (Yay!)
We float on our boat (our boat!) until its time to drop the anchor,
Then hang up our coats (aye-aye!) until we sail again!

Yar - har - fiddle-dee-dee, being a pirate is alright with me!
Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate!
Yar har wind at your back lads, wherever you go!
Blue sky above and blue ocean below, you are a pirate!

Everyone sat down and clapped for each other.

I woke up.

That was brilliant.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Two dreams last night, recall has been quite alright this week.

21.00: Sleep

05.10: Dreams
*I'm on a bus with a group of people. We're going skiing and I'm worried about my wrists. We arrive at the big slope and it looks pretty awesome. The bus stops and everyone gets off. We have to stand in line for a while and I forget about the skiing as some fireworks go off all around us. I hear a huge explosion from far away and people start pointing. I stand almost hypnotized as enormous red explosions take place far up in the sky. They make a big star in the sky, which is itself made out of smaller stars and pentagrams.

*I'm working and my coworker Danne, who's driving an excavator is there. We're digging a big trench. Three women come up to me. "Where is the gas?" they ask. One of them has her eyes very close together. I feel uncomfortable looking at her. "It might be over there or there" I say and point. I figure they're some kind of inspectors.

05.10: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 8 hours

Supplements: None

That's it! Ordered soem L-Theanine and 5-HTP yesterday. Gonna try them out on Saturday if I get lucid on Friday, or next weekend to see if they're any good.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

My dream last night was non-lucid and a dream fragment.

What I could remember was that I was walking down an old road--like the ones you see in ghost movies--and I was looking for someone. Who, I wasn't sure, but I knew I needed to find them.

I get to a cover bridge and someone is standing inside. on the other side of the bridge it's pouring rain.

Well, I walk to the person and they're in a cloak, the hood up. I walk up to them and they don't move so I go to remove the hood and I wake up.

Any ideas what this means?

I only remember bits and pieces of the dreams I had last night:

My first dream involved my first wife, who was killed in a car wreck back in 1998. In the dream, she is still alive and we're getting ready to go somewhere. She is walking around getting things ready. We walk into another room that resembles the kitchen at my Mom's house. There is a woman sitting there that I know from church. Our car won't start (Or it's wrecked or something) so the woman offers to let us use her car. I don't want to, but my wife accepts her offer.

Next, I remember that I'm talking to this guy about cycling, or long distance bike riding. (I used to ride quite a bit a few years back.) Anyway, I'm telling him that "it was easy riding back in Texas because everything is flat and there are no hills. But here there are lots and lots of hills." (At this point in the dream and as I'm saying that I remember moving my hand and arm up and down like it's going over hills. I also get the feeling that I'm in California.)

The next thing I remember is riding in the front seat of a vehicle with two other guys. I'm sitting in the middle. The guy driving is telling us about his wife, who had died a few years ago. I then tell him about a friend I knew back in the early 80's who was in a band called 'Oasis' with a buddy of his. (I think this is the guy I was talking to about cycling earlier in the dream.) He had shown me one of his business cards from back then where he had first met his wife. She had written her name and phone number on the card. But she had since died also, so he kept the business card as a keepsake.

This was kind of a weird dream because 1. I never knew anybody in the band Oasis, 2. it was very coincidental that the two guys in my dream and I all had wives who had died. It's also rather frustrating that I had an obvious dream sign (my deceased first wife) but did not realize I was dreaming when I saw her. She has appeared in several of my dreams over the years.
