[COLOR="blue"]This morning I had a really weird dream. I dreamt that two of my friends woke me up by screaming in my ear.
They laughed, but I just lay in my bed (dreambed) and looked surprised at them. What were they doing in my room, was I even in my room? They went out and I thought to myself that I was going to try a DEILD attempt.
I closed my eyes and saw a bright blue light and then when I opened my eyes I saw that I was still in my room, so I thought that I had failed the attempt. No realitycheck...

Then I just went back to sleep within the dream and I...
[/COLOR]
[COLOR="silver"]woke up! I realised how blind I had been. I need to make reality checkin after an awakening a habbit..[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]Can't write much now, but I remember that after I had come home from le party I got to bed. But I dreamt that I was on another party and was very oddly enough very aware of it. But I wasn't lucid, but it was like dreaming fully aware, although you don't suspect that it's a dream.[/COLOR]

I dreamt that I saw photos of me on Facebook that I never had seen before and I thought "Why can't I remember these photos?". I asked a friend and he said that I had probably got so drunk that I had forgot everything.
I thought that was most likely, but I discovered that I had done really weird things on that party and I begin to look for clues to understand the complete story. Like in the movie Hang over.

Then I was standing it felt like I woke up from that dream and I saw a man infront of me with a knife. He was about to attack me but I managed to take the knife from him and I stabbed him and I started to cry, because it was a horrible experience. Then I hear the police behind me they grab me and take me out of that house.

[COLOR="silver"]Then I woke up and was very relieved.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I didn't do any special technque or method this time. I just went to sleep on a normal bedtime and had some normal vivid dreams. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I was in class and the most annoying guy in there made weird sounds. I looked at him and asked "What the hell are you doing?". He just laughed and kept doing the sounds. He sounded retarded I thought, but he wasn't mean so I stopped to care. But then my Music teacher walks to him with a chair and hit him jokefully in the stomach with the seat and laughs and everybody laughs. But the guy don't laugh and I think he got reminded about being bullied.
So he get up angry, my teacher try to apologize and all the other think "He got what he deserved..."

I remember a fragment of me being on a playground and getting robbed and something with me putting on a swimsuit, what ever I don't remember.

And the last thing I remembered before I woke up was that I were in a store buying baguettes and that I was on a field trip with my class and I took a seat and started eating. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I was in my phiosophy class, but my favourite teacher Therese wasn't there. Instead there was a substitute and for some strange reason she still called me the name the other teacher uses to call me "Chrille". But this teacher wasn't either fun or interesting to listen to. So the whole class got bored and in this vivid dream I even got so angry that I throw all my books on the floor. And I remember that I could control my Spotify player with my mind, although I didn't realised that I was dreaming.

Then outside of the classroom I drank salt water and I was told that I was going to be able to do magical things.
I went out of the school and a cocky guy approached me and said "Hey tough guy, you want a fight huh?" I said "You really don't want to disturb me right now.." "Hah you think you are cool or what" he said.
When he tried to box me I just grabbed his hand and jumped really high, and he looked nervously at me as we flew through the sky. When we landed I didn't make fun of him, instead I hugged him and said "It's okay I wont hurt you, but as I said don't try to bully or dusturb anyone again". He looked scared at me.

I had another dream about a guy trying to stab me in my home, but I grabbed the knife and I stabbed him instead and I cut his throat with no problem at all.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Scary dreams, but I did one small WBTB this night and that might have put me back on track with the recall again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]As you might have seen I haven't had many lucid dreams and I skipped to journal the normal dreams, even though I remembered them. It seems like Dream Journaling was more important that I thought, because I have only had a few short lucidity seconds this week... And I remember lesser dreams.
But I am still very aware of many of them, but the recall/lucidity drop might depend on my schoolbreak =) (Lots of alcohol) Although I had a lucid dream the morning after a party :o[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I were in some sort of garden and I met an old friend of mine, she seemed a little bit shy and then she vanished while I was looking at her. I thought that this must be a dream, I counted the fingers on my hand and... I had five. I got chocked and worried, where the hell was I?[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Then I woke up.. frustrated :D[/COLOR]

[CENTER][B]Ev's Entrainment was good but...[/B]

With that I just slept, and I got really vivid dreams and also a lucid dream, and I was generally more aware of my dreams. So it's still the best lucid aid, but it doesn't work alone to get frequent lucid dreams, and I started a thread where I asked folks here what method I should use. But the second best method I have ever used is Lucidology timer method, so why didn't I think of that before... Anyway the next night I will use the Entrainment combined with a WBTB and timer method.

As usual I remembered a ton of dreams (around 7-8 dream scenarios). But I will only write down the lucid moment to save time.

[COLOR="blue"]..I was thrown up on a roof and it looked too unreal.[/COLOR][COLOR="red"]I realised that it was a dream it looked like it didn't had an end and it looked like those kind of roofs with a top like black sandpaper. Sorry that's the best explaination I can give you. Anyway I started to run and jump really high, I thought to myself "This is how the astronauts felt when they jumped on the moon, but this is how a oneironaut feels when he jump in a dream :D".
Becaue of the emptiness I thought that this was exactly like Garry's Mod, but for real! So now I tried to summon a person, my friend Louise, for some reason. But I couldn't. So I imagined a rock and it appeared, and I went around the corner of that rock preparing to meet her. But she didn't appear... I was a little frustrated and eventually I forgot that I was dreaming and lost my lucidity.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]I had a long vivid dream about Harry Potter when that ended I were in my school and had a long boring lesson, until I woke up for real.[/COLOR]

[CENTER][B]It was not a coincidence!
[/B]Unless the conicidence happend again... I went to bed at the time app said and this night I had the most vivid dreams I have ever had! I keep saying that a lot I know, but it's progress I guess. These dreams didn't felt like dreams at all, they felt real from the moment they stopped to the moment they stopped!
I woke up after each dream and thought "Why didn't I become lucid?!" and I told myself to realize that I was dreaming in the next dream. But my conscious focus changed and I dreamt a real feeling dream again, but I didn't realised that I was lucid. And this happend 5 times! So all I have to do now is to pracctise this and maybe even try to DEILD on some of these awakenings if I can remember. But this app was truley the best lucid aid that have ever existed![/CENTER]

I went to bed at a specific time and set my alarm at a specific time, so I sync my biologicalclock with the sun, but I adjusted it a little so it would fit my morning routine, so with one sleep cycle (90 minutes). The way I know this is because of the Bio2 Real Time, Ev's app.
[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I actually remember many dreams, but they are not interesting for you and it's not worth to write all them down, so I will start at the lucid. But I can say that all the dreams were very vivid and most of them felt like I experienced them.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]Anyhow I had just finished my dream of walking up the stairs to the Eifeltower and it led to the Great Wall for some reason. But the dream changed and I was standing in my school, with my classmates.
I didn't hear them talk, but I heard my friend just laugh to nothing "He he... haha hehe" I noticed that something was strange. I went to the toilet and started to pee. When I felt that I was done, the urge came back, so I couldn't stop pee.[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]I realised that this was a dream and I knew that I can pee in dreams without doing it for real, so I wasn't worried. I went outside, but I was standing there naked. For some reason my clothes had disapeared.
I was feeling a little embarrassed, but I knew that it was a dream and it was only my classes' dreamcharacters looking at me, but it was a little uncomfortable, so I imagined myself some new clothes.
I saw my friend Felix and asked him for fun "What stabilisation technique do you want me to use?" He said "Spinning" I started to spin slowly, so I could still see the surroundings. When I stopped Amanada was standing infront of me.
I looked her in the eyes and said "Hello!" Then I throw myself up in the air and landed on my back, and it actually hurted a little. Then I rubbed my hands. I don't believe in dream sharing or that stuff, but in this dream I started to consider that Amanda might be herself in my dream, so I told her to count my fingers on one hand. She said "haha why? but ok 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... 15!". She looked surprised at me and I said "This is a dream! You are dreaming!"
Shortly after this I started dreaming normally again, so I didn't experienced something special.
Although in the non lucid dream after this, I jumped out from a window and flew a broom and I also used the cruciatus curse on a mean guy.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I woke up alert and refreshed! I hope that this wasn't a placebo or something, because then Ev might have found the best lucid aid to lucid dreaming! And also I am ranked as a Dream Character on Banhurts Dream Journal program now :D [/COLOR]

[B]I am going to start using Ev's app.[/B]

I have allways been trying to find a frequent way to lucid dream and the Lucidology worked sort of, but not frequent enough.
So I am going to try Ev's apps and see where that leads me, so I won't record my dreams here anymore, because I am going to try to become aware of the dreams without using the memory, mantras or techniques.
Instead I will sync my biological clock to the sun and naturally become more aware and hopefully lucid.
I will maybe write down the succesful attempts here.

[COLOR="silver"]Normally I use a lot of alarms to together form a timer ramp. But this time I only used one with 15 seconds of autosnooze and then I used a normal snooe function to make it go on repeat. And this morning I had a lucid dream.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I woke up 05.00 to the alarm and just fell asleep again, I started dreaming something, but 2 minutes later I woke up to the a larm again so I went up very dizzy and tired. I turned off the alarm and went back to bed. So this was like a double alarm. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I were in my school and I were in my English class, I saw that my teacher was a woman and normally it is a man. I was very aware in this dream and aware enough to realise that something was wrong.I looked around and[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]I realised that it was something unusual about this and I realised that I was dreaming. It was very hard to believe because it was so vivid, not as vivid as reality, but almost.
Every stopped, just like in the Inception movie in the bar when Fischer realise that he was dreaming, every person in the room looked at me. I made eyecontact with one good looking girl. I got out of my chair and I saw that I was naked! It was a little embarrassing, but I knew that this was a dream so I didn't had anything to become embarrassed of, so I just laughed and went on with it. When I did that I felt that I now had clothes.
Problem solved. The hot girl leaned in and kissed me, I was amazed of how it felt. She smiled and went away. I am still lucid! I thought. And I imagined a girl that I used to be in love with for a couple of years ago and I asked her "Why didn't you like me?" she just laughed and said "It doesn't matter, I do now".
She gave me her cellphone which I for some reason dropped so it broke. I thought damn it, wait I am in a dream I can fix it! I imagined a new phone in my hand, and it just appeard!

I strpped down naked again, just to feel that I am totally free in this dream. I went up the stairs in my school and up to the top floor. I wanted to jump our from the window and try to fly. I went into another class on the topfloor and said "Open the window!". "Sure naked man" someone laughed. I saw my Biology teacher there and then I opened the windows (which looked weird). Then I took pace and jumped out. I couldn't control the fall, but I eventually managed to fly from the speed of the fall. So now i was flying! With the best control ever!!
I did swimming motions to levitate up to the window again and the people in there couldn't believe their dreamy eyes. I nicked my head down and up fast, like a bull does when it gores. And now I could control the direction of and the speed of the flying. Yes I could fly, but I failed the landing and I got really dizzy. And weirdly enough I lost my lucidity here.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]That shouldn't matter, because a dream is just a thought right? But I dreamt that I were some kind of superhero, like the green lantern or something. So I were in some futuistic city and fighted criminals.This dream ended with me being in a mall and some terrorists tried to rob a bank. I tried to stop them, but they threw a grenade at me. I grabbed it and managed to stop it from exploading with just my hand. But I threw it back on them and it exploded. Then I thought this was a v-serie or something and I was not as aware when dreaming this. Instead I was watching it. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Then I woke up and the time was now 06.14! Talk about a long dream! The longest lucid and together with the non-lucid, longest dream ever.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Last day it was horror movie night at my school, so I watched The grudge and Insidious.
I was a little afraid that I would dream nightmares, but I haven't had nightmares for years so I was actually hoping to have one so I could become lucid. But no I didn't had any. This night I set an alarm to wake me up and force me to get out of bed.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I dreamt something about me being on a really high skateboard ramp and it was really vivid, but then my WBTB alarm woke me up, so I realised that I had been dreaming.

I fell asleep again and I dreamt that I took Iphone photos on my friends from different angles and I met some friends that I appearntly knew.

Then I was in my school and had a blanket over me that I could look through and I sang something. Andriano my friend told me that he hadn't got his essay back and I said that I forgot to write his name on the essay we wrote together so I had got all the credit. I wrote his name on the paper too and then told what had happend to our teacher.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Then I woke up. I think that the pillow speaker only can wake me up if I sleep light.
But sometimes I don't so I think I am going to use the iphones speaker and hopefully I don't disturb anyone else.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I don't wake up to the timer anymore, only sometimes but I am not aware enough.
I think I need to WBTB for 5 minutes and then go to sleep instead of just snoozing like I have done before.

And well I didn't remember a single dream this night! I did remember on dream in the middle of the night, but as usual I convinced myself that I would remember it in the morning, because it was so clear. But no...[/COLOR]
