    1. 5 hours of sleep = no recall.

      by , 09-13-2010 at 06:05 AM (The Mind is Power; My Dream Journal)
      Went to a big music festival Saturday night and I ended up staying out until 3:30 and not falling asleep until past 4am. I got up at 9:30 and couldn't remember anything but I'm not too surprised or disheartened. I feel like any given night could be the night

She wanted to know if i could work on my weekend off so that she could finish moving her stuff and visit him. I caved in. I don't want to go to work. the only reason i agreed is because i have no money and absolutely have to have this computer back or i won't be able to make more. Fuck having a home business. It's to hard. I hate my full-time job. At least i got cake.
      Had 3 very vivid dreams. I remember waking up and going. "Woah for real?" I fail to remember the first two now though. When i woke in the middle of the night i should have at least jotted their subjects down. but no i just rolled over and said "bah I'll remember it." the third dream was strange.

      I was standing in an isle way of a grocery store with a cart full of food, and my cousins husband, Markus. Markus has the baby-mans, Dylan, with him, but Dylan had black hair, and the weirdest beard. I remember at one point going "Baby's don't have beards, but my subconscious have me a vary detailed reason as to why he had it, and that it would go away. I accepted this, and the dream carried on. We finally got to the check out, and i gave Dylan the ice cream he wanted "Doodz" we're brand of Ice cream i thought but i ignored it. Then every time he ate i got money. Another cousin showed up and tried to take Dylan but i wouldn't let her, and then some crazy man with claw marks shaved into his head and just plowed right through us at the check-out lane.


      Alarm clock went off. Sometimes i like my dreams better than waking up. I wish things would start looking upwards for me.

    3. School Fragment

      by , 09-12-2010 at 04:27 AM (Guessadoodle's Dream Journal)
      School Fragment (Supplemented by Melatonin and Vitamin B6)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      So I popped a pill, containing 3mg of melatonin and 3mg of Vitamin B6. Stayed up for a while before letting the drowsiness kick in. I'm not sure of this, but I had a lot of 'day-dream' moments before falling asleep (need someone to tell me what are these!).

      Unfortunately I kept waking up, which is weird because melatonin is supposed to make you fall into deep sleep for the first 70% or so of your sleep. I did get dreams in the morning though, quite a lot of them, and are not very vivid, which is another thing that surprised me.

      Some fragments:
      • I remembered seeing 20 notifications in DV.
      • From what I can remembered, I recalled waking up in my classroom during recess and checking if there's still time to grab a bite. On the way I had to pass through the gym, and I saw my Discipline Master instructing someone on how to use some equipment. He asked me to pass him a wooden ball, which I did. He dropped it, but I continued walking on.

        Instead of heading towards the canteen I walked to the school hall where everyone was playing badminton. Someone asked me why I came so late, and I told him I was feeling drowsy (probably because of the melatonin) and decided to sleep for a while. I borrowed a badminton racket from a friend and decided to show off my badminton skills, which weren't very good at that moment.

        The bell rang, and someone told me I ruined their game because they were winning. I thought he was joking, so I let it slide, but after a while I asked if it was true. But before he could reply we saw everyone gathering at the foyer and I thought we were late for some sort of meeting, so we rushed there.

        I saw the Discipline master there, so on instinct I reached out to my shirt and began stuffing it into my pants for uniform inspection, but I failed. When I reached the foyer the DM told me he already inspected me, so I need not attend. I was quite confused at that moment, because the last time we saw each other was at the gym. I sat down near my juniors. A teacher walked by and decided to release us by shouting a command. She made a mistake at first, and everyone was waiting for her to amend it. Then to my horror she shouted out some weird command that goes like this: Pooh pooh pooh pooh backside backside 1 2 3 4 Go!


      I woke up after that, still feeling horrified and wtf-ed at that command. My neck was quite sore.

    4. First online dream journal

      by , 09-11-2010 at 05:33 PM
      What's up yall!
      I'm new here and this is my first post.
      I thought i could sum up my lucid experiences: first lucid dream, I was playing warcraft (that time i'd play long ours of that game) and while playing i suddenly realized, while trying to read the info on an item, the info changed so i realized it was a dream! Then i dont remember weather I woke up or fell for another dream.
      Anyways,
      Second lucid dream was awesome. I was reading some sort of manuscript, from a really old paper/papirus-like, and it was like a screen on the tv when e credits go up, and, while the paper would go up on my "screen", there was a female voice whispering the meanings of the manuscript. It was a very strong feeling! Then i suddenly understood it was a dream, and that the message of the lady was very very important to my life, so i started saying to myself: i have to remember this. This is very important! I have to remember this!
      But I only remembered the dream, not the message, too bad

      Ok so, starting this week, I have the goal of developing the ability of having lucid dreams, and already had two awesome dreams, none of them lucid.

      First this week:
      I was at a training gymnasium like place. There were two round tables. It was day. People in the round tables, including myself, were practicing levitating small objects, and I was trying to levitate my ex-girlfriend's ring.. When I saw that a friend of mine was also able to do it, I started doing it too!
      Then, i was with my kendo teacher: he showed me some moves, threw me on the ground and I slide on the floor for 10-20 meters. Then he threw some other student and himself in the same way

      Second night:
      I was practicing kendo again, outside, with a lot of people, then in some periods I was wearing my Greek sleep-shoes, some times I wasn't.
      So, the teacher showed me that in one movement, I should hit with the sword, and levitate for 1-2 seconds in the air. He and other students showed me how to do it, and I started practicing that.

      Just remembered another dream. I was with my ex-girlfriend and deciding whether or not we should get back together or not. Maybe during the dream I realized that was a dream, and didn't have a response whether I wanted that to happen or not!
      Note to self: investigate the ex-girlfriend dreams and feelings related to that..

      Wish you all a great weekend!

    6. Small fragment

      by , 09-11-2010 at 05:31 AM (The Mind is Power; My Dream Journal)
      Last night I didn't really even bother trying to recall my dreams. It was my last night with my wife before she left to go on vacation with her parents for a week so I just didn't bother. I had a small fragment that I did remember enough to jot down on my iPod though.

      Hopefully this next week, as I'll have the bed to myself, I'll make some great strides.

    7. Shoes and Underage Driving

      by , 09-11-2010 at 05:31 AM (Guessadoodle's Dream Journal)
      Shoes and Underage Driving

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Fragment:
      • Something about taking off and putting on shoes.
      • I remembered driving, although I'm only 16. I wasn't very good at it, of course, and having no experience in driving I perceived pressing the accelerator slightly will take me really fast. I remembered me driving my family.
      • I also remembered scraping the car against the curb.


      Note: I just bought pills that contain 3mg of melatonin and Vitamin B6. I'll try taking them tonight and I'll report tomorrow for some results.

    8. I need to break out of this funk. Advice?

      by , 09-09-2010 at 05:51 AM (The Mind is Power; My Dream Journal)
      So I woke up this morning and had a faint idea of a dream I had... But I just never got up and wrote it down. I got lazy, no excuses. I also noticed I'm getting a little lazy with my reality checks. I've been trying pretty hard to make progress for the last two months and I haven't lost hope. I just wish I had experienced even the tiniest thing to, you know, help me keep my spirits up.

    9. Influenza = Delerium -> Killing the devil, receiving education from a Lime tree

      by , 09-07-2010 at 09:56 AM
      non-dream - non-lucid - lucid

      I am having my bianual influenza that indicates the season is changing, and in this begining phase it seems to have had quite and influence on my dreaming, both in plots and vividnes. No lucids although I might have to try and replicate the way I killed the Devil

      07-09-10 I was in a storyline similar to season 5 of Supernatural with the whole apocalypse looming. I was a character not in the show who was very knowledgeable about demonic infestations and biblical catastrophes in general. The two people I was trying to help were female and I found it a bit odd that they hadn't looked to other religions in order to solve their Judaic/Christian mess. However I was keen on exploring some Mayan traditions. So for some reason I transformed into a woman that had to be possessed by about 21 demons from different places in the world and when I got the final 1 I got the classical black eyes.

      I summoned Lucifer and he came to a large pyramid. We did a sort of arm wrestle and I won resulting in him going unconscious. I start dragging him towards the top of the pyramid as he gets heavier and heavier, I manage with a huge amount of effort to get him to the top. As he approaches the sacred place where he can be destroyed he starts emitting a bright green glow and within the green glow there are ancient runes on his skin glowing brighter green almost white (Honestly have never, ever produced such a cool effect, as this one in my dreams! Want to see if I can replicate that to my lucids and seriously start whooping demons). I keep dragging him towards the spot with a greater difficulty now as he is awake and struggling. I manage to get him there and I raise my right hand and start pushing it towards his chest and as I do this a white light starts surrounding us, in the end I touch him and he vanish in a bright explosion (I think all of the particles in his body explode and evaporates in this white light).

      I am then in the hotel room where the two females and I are staying and I am in my normal body wearing a towel around my waist, must have just come out of the shower. We chit chat and in the end I this dialogue is played out.

      “Oh and by the way I took care of your little apocalypse problem”
      “Problem?”
      “Yeah I stopped the apocalypse”
      “Apocalypse.. wait a minute?”
      “I killed Lucifer, you don't have to thank me”
      “You killed Lucifer?”
      “Yep I took him to the top of a Mayan pyramid and destroyed him”

      (The longest dialouge I have been able to replicate, although the accuracy is probably not flawless)


      All in a very laid back casual tone as if it was just another day at the office.

      I was in a garden receiving some education on how to become a police officer. Pil was there and he was the teacher's pet having send her emails and prepared himself. I on the other hand was just there. We were only three people there and it disappointed out teacher. She had had an accident recently and she kept asking about what reactions one could expect from her, which embarrassed me a bit as I should know me being a psychology student.

      The whole situation was a bit weird as this teacher was a person, but in the shape of a lime still attached to the tree. The lime tree contained only prime examples of fruits upon closer inspection.

      I am still in the supernatural plot trying to persuade a special child to accompany us on a journey as he is prophesied to be the one killing the devil. In the end I manage to persuade him by approaching him and his brother, saying something like
      “I have approached you many times now haven't I?”
      “yes”
      “And on all these times I have allowed you to leave if you didn't want to come right?”
      “Yes”
      “Your brother is very special and important, do you know this?”
      “...yes”
      “My point is that I am not a paedophile or anything”
      (there is an awkward silence on the entire beach)
      “So how about we take you AND your parents on a Journey”

      The brothers both agree that this sounds like a good idea and they go to get their parents. An accomplish of mine approach me and say that we don't have enough money to bring them all to egypt and the other places we are going. I tell him we are only taking them around the corner to Mexico to visit the Mayan ruins, my devious plan being that the parents will realise we are the good guys and that their son is very special and either help us develop him or let us take him on a quest to become who he is supposed to be.

    11. Good night of dreams.

      by , 09-07-2010 at 05:01 AM (The Mind is Power; My Dream Journal)
      I found this LDing app on iTunes called "Dream Sign" and I'm toying with it. Basically what it does is send you alerts while you are sleeping prompting you to "do a reality check" while you are in your REM sleep. We'll see how it works.

      I'm inside of some sort of game that I was told to play by some guy. Chris plays too. It's some sort of rts mixed with action. All I remember is that part of the game requires buying and reselling and everyone is trying to swindle you. Especially the guy that invites me to play. I get chased around the game bring called "little twit" and all I try to do is hide. I end up so tired and scared of being chased I quit and as soon as I did I woke up. It was an interesting variation on the "being chased" dream.
      For some reason I'm bowling with my buddy, Austin, and we're going back and forth throwing strikes. He has a house ball, I notice, and I know to think that that is odd because he has his own equipment. I'm using my old bowling ball. He throws a great strike and then I'm up and I roll my ball and do it poorly but somehow still get a strike. I remember shaking my head in my dream and knowing I got lucky.
      I'm in some sort of gas station and it seem like I work there. Crizza is there. He's showing off some ring tone the Angels were giving away. It sounds lame but has Autotune and doesn't even mention the team. Alex is there too and I bring my guitar for some reason to try and learn while at the gas station.
    12. To do list

      by , 09-06-2010 at 04:38 PM (Nom nom nom, Mmmattelicious...)
      Okay here's a list of all the things I have done in lucid dreams, and what I would like to do in the future!

      DONE

      Standard stuff:
      1. Fly - Pretty good at it, arms to the side
      2. Made skateboard/snowboard move
      3. Tied shoelaces with my mind
      4. Jumped real far
      5. Telekinesis - Getting better! Controlled a large ship last time
      6. Skated on water at high speed
      7. Summoned food, drink, knife and a door - Fish and cola. The door led to a prison
      8. Mindcontrolled a guy
      9. Teleported (vaguely two times)
      10. Increased light outside


      The nature's four elements: Fire, wind, earth and water, is something I really want to learn how to do. But so far I haven't been able to do much with them.

      FIRE: Made an old lady caught on fire vaguely, made a small lighter-flame and made a red glowing mark.
      WIND: Never tried it, does fly and telekinesis count?
      EARTH: Never tried it.
      WATER: Made some wet sand produce steam. Does waterskiing count?

      TO DO

      1. Make dreamfruit. Just let my fantasy go wild and create the most delicious fruit ever! [ ]
      2. Make a building out of earth [ ]
      3. Shoot fireballs and play with fire [ ]
      4. Have sex [ ]
      5. Teleport to places without losing lucidity [ ]
      6. Accomplish a WILD [ ]
      7. Have four or more LD's in one night. [ ]
      8. Have ten or more dreams in one night. [ ]


      That's about it for now. I am open to suggestions and would love some tips and help from someone with some experience.

      Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

    13. Generator, Stalking the Floor, Two Rings

      by , 09-06-2010 at 03:54 PM (Keitorin's Dream Log)
      Whew, the power went off at least twice last night! Scared the pea soup out of me at 1 A.M., but I did get to write down a dream.



      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      06.09.2010
      Generator (Non-lucid)

      The Axis Powers Hetalia characters had different names. I was coming up with scenarios for them.

      Note: For the past week I've been working on a writing scenario generator.

      _________________________

      Stalking the Floor (Non-lucid)

      Riley was walking slowly, crouched along the floor beside my bed.

      In real life, I looked over the side of my bed and made a noise to get her attention - but she wasn't there.

      _________________________

      Two Rings (Non-lucid)

      A bad guy was after these three tiny flying people for the two rings they had - one with a white diamond and one with two birthstones in it. The little people were young.

      The oldest one (a boy) was captured but managed to get away, bad guy following behind. While distracting him, the little person dropped the rings in two separate places along the road. The bad guy almost caught him with the second one, but the little person distracted him again.

      ~ He went to a building that the other two (think one was a girl) were in. He had the diamond ring and tapped some morse code out to get their attention. They flew over and talked to him.

      - There was swimming in the beginning I think, in really murky water. 'I' was worried about how I'd keep track of the other two, but then someone grabbed 'me', I think.

      - In the end, the bad guy was dragged off by the police(?) for something else. Disturbing the peace?

      - To fly, the little guy kept having to get a running start to get going.
    14. Ah these nights

      by , 09-06-2010 at 05:33 AM
      Been analyzing dreams for about a week and I feel I am on the verge of something or the other. I have tried cues to get me to sleep and I think I am changing them up too quickly. I pick runes, grab a notebook, change positions, even change meditation techniques before I go to bed.

      My dreams are coming in jolts like misplaced chapters in some crazy book, unknown to me as the big plot. I wake with the most results from about 2-3 am, trying hard to use the MILD but if I fall asleep I never return. Many times I feel that I am grabbing onto the rope of a floating balloon but can never quite reach it. Despite this I sense that I am on the verge of a breakthrough.

      I have been reading and I think the eyelid pattern technique will be the one for me this evening. I plan on returning here and journal a few dreams I have been having recently. Of note, dreams have been rather broken up and have had many smaller chapters with the larger chapter happening just before or after 3am. Alas 3am seems to be the wake point for me.

    15. CAN-WILD vs. LaBerge MILD. Suggestion?

      by , 09-06-2010 at 04:24 AM (The Mind is Power; My Dream Journal)
      So, I'm at an impasse. I've been faithfully DJing, as you can see, for the last 50 days. Nearly two months, now. My ability to recall dreams is much better than it has ever been before. I can say that I have progressed that much, at least. Lately my DJ activity has dipped (in terms of # of dreams per night) but mostly because I've been too lazy/tired to write them down during whenever I wake up. I feel like if I were to read over my entire DJ I'd see that I'm way too scatterbrained in terms of my efforts and attempts at induction techniques. The only thing I've done consistently is DJ and RC during the day. I think it's time for me to quit messing around and finally pick a technique to work on.

      So I've strained all of the excess techniques and left my two favorites: The CAN WILD technique, developed on this forum, and the MILD technique by the big man himself, LaBerge.

      Pros of CANWILD:
      -LD at will, essentially.
      -Seems like it'd get concrete results quicker.

      Cons of CANWILD:
      -Sleep Paralysis. I don't like the idea of the hallucinations. Though my fear of SP may create a self defeating mindset. If I quit fearing it and just rolled with it I may be OK.

      Pros of MILD:
      -No sleep paralysis.
      -Seems more organic.

      Cons of MILD:
      -A bit harder to actually do consistently with all of the steps through the day that are required.

      Suggestions?

      And my fragment from last night:

      I dreamt about this remnant that had been passed down a million different times abs touched a bunch of different times. Each time it got touched the person touching it imparted some sort of detail upon it.
