[COLOR="silver"]This night I went to bed very late, but I actually still remembered some dreams. The next night I will use the "Wake to Snooze" method :D[/COLOR]


[ATTACH=CONFIG]2528[/ATTACH]
[COLOR="blue"]I sat on the floor in my school. I wondered why and people looked at me. Then I associated this with meditation, and my teacher actually had a lesson about Buddhism and told the whole class to meditate once. So now I thought about that and I closed my eyes and started to focus on my breathing, in that moment I felt as aware as every time I meditate, but when I opened my eyes I saw a girl I liked and my concentration disspear.
I wasn't lucid, but i got more aware.

Then my friend Felix asked me if I wanted to play soccer. I said sure and we went out. We were going to cross the street and I ran with the ball and tried a trick, but I failed and the ball rolled out on the street. Felix tried to grab the ball, but there was car driving by. He screamed to me "Why the h*ll did you do that for?" I said "Sorry it was a misstake.." Then a car drove over the ball...[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]This morning I had on of those dreams that really feels like a real experience, but this time I also dreamt it for very long. Today I didn't used the timer method, only an alarm 6 hours after sleep and then a snooze 20 minutes later.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]Before this WBTB, well I wouldn't callt it that I would just call it WTS (Wake to Snooze), I dreamt about my computer crashing over and over. I had wrote to some guy in a pm the previous day about a computer, so I guess that was why I dreamt about it. Anyhow I started my computer and there was a black screen with thi s text: yourrfuchchked.exe . I managed to get to my desktop and I saw my friend Johan write "lul hej" on steam, and this basically means "lol (wth an u) hi". I tried to fix my computer, but failed.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]The second WTS alarm woke me up and I fellt back to sleep.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I were in a jail! I didn't become lucid although this dream was really vivid. I talked with one of the gyming guys about protein chips. I told him that it was better than protein shakes, and tastes better as well.
I gave him a bowl of chips and he liked it. And I told him that I had enough chips to last for 10 years.

Me and my buddies were very tired of this place, so we tried to find ways to escape from it. One of the guys climbed on a fence, but he soon realised that it was electric, so he fell down electrified and scared.

I found a garden and saw a path of wood making it's way to a small fence, that we could just jump over. We ran over there and on the other side there was a bus station (bus number 8). The busdriver said that the bus didn't work...
We started to hear dogs and guards approaching us, so we ran and hide in a forrest on the other side of the road. Some women who took care of the garden in the jail, followed us and wanted to help us. I didn't know why I were in jail, but appearatly it wasn't because of something bad.

I hade no idea how the next thing happend, but the women had a hangglider of some sort and we flew above the forrest and landed next to a small house in the forrest. We asked the women if they had any other clothes, because it would be very easy to recognize us. They said yeah, but it doesn't matter anymore.. As she said that she turned on a tv and we saw that we were all wanted. For you to be able to even be outside, you have to get a new identity.
"How are we supposed to do that?" we asked, the women looked at each other with a smile and said "You have to dress like girls!" "That will never work!" we said, and they said "You have no choice.."

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2525[/ATTACH]

When we were finished we heard a police car coming closer, we saw that there was a car outside of the house so we took that and drive through the forrest. I took the wheel while one of the girls did the rest.
The police shot our tirer.. and we had to run.

A man chased us, but he didn't look like a police, I fell and the man told me "I don't want to hurt you"
Then I got a weird realisation, I got a wamr feeling and I thought this man was my dad, who I had never met until now. Like a "moment" in a tv serie. Anyway he had a place where we all could hide, so we went to his place.

I woke up next to a girl, who was my girlfriend in this dream, I hugged her and gave her a kiss, then I "remembered" where I was and for some weird reason, the whole group went to a mall to shower and we were dressed as girls...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2526[/ATTACH]

After this shower, I saw a weird man looking at me and I saw that he had an earpiece, he was an agent!
He yelled "I have found them!" and we were chased by men in suits. And we got caught and were sent back to the prison...

The dream changed and I was now in a forrest with my history teacher, she taught me to cook in the forrest.
I made icecream and the other got impressed. But then my teacher said, "Don't forget why you are here, you are still in prison and I am gonna help you escape." Then we heard a door a the men in suits rushed in and arrested her.

[COLOR="silver"]This was a really long and weird dream, but I finally woke up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I think I am going to stopusing the timer method on weekdays, it makes me really tired and it's really annoying alarm to wake up to every day. And it only seem to work when I have slept for more than 6 hours, so the weekend is perfect. Anyway this morning I had a weird dream about something that appearntly my subconscious if focusing on.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I had a party at my house, there was a girl there I used to like when I was younger. Her name was Lisa, she is really good looking, but I don't like her anymore because she has changed. Anyhow another girl called Madeleine was there too and she is also hot, and I do like her but I'm not in love with her. Partly because we are two different persons and partly because my bestfriend is in love with her. Although in the dream she was hitting on me, she looked at me with eyes that showed me that she was interested in me in a shy way. I had to make a decision, go with Madeleina or Lisa.
I started to like Lisa again for some reason, but I still choosed Madeleine... I can assure you that I am not in love with her in real life, but my subconscious feel guilty for some reason...
[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]On Weekdays I am going to try the technique that my phiosophy teacher uses to dream whatever she wants, and my mom used to get her first lucid dream.

The original snooze and sleep. Like a fast WBTB just to increase the chances of a DILD. Let's see how that goes.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I remembered four dreams when I woke up, but I didn't noted it so I forgot one of them :D ... I remembered it again![/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I were in a bar with my friends, and I wanted a cupcake but also something to drink. So I wanted a cola, then I saw a Blue botte and the tag said "Coca Coola Beer" and I said "I must to have that!" but then I couldn't afford a cupcake I thought, but when I reached down my pocket I found enough money to be able to pay. The previous day my friends had talked about beer andI had been drinking coola, so I might have dreamt this because of that.

In my next dream I was in a hospital and I saw J.D from Scrubs (one of my favourite tv-shows). I walked around the hospital for a bit, but then I felt an extremely desire to go to the bathroom, but when I got there Turk was blocking the door. He said "No on is aloud to go in here" and I said "I'm about to shit my pants let me in!". "NO!", "Ok then I shit outhere" I said. Turk got really scared and said "Ok, ok get in". Inside there was a man who looked like Mick Jagger and I understood why Turk hadn't let me in. I think this dream was influenced by Pandabear's dream :)

In the third dream I was in a house and saw a kalabas. Inside it I found a breadlamp a loaf of bread and I asked my dad what kind of bread this was. And he said that this wasn't an ordinary loaf, "It's the loaf of language! I you take a bite of it and say a language and you will be able to speak it". I took a piece and said "French!" "aihjawlkjfawfhwfoi" nothing made sense.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I woke up from the timer, but I didn't lay still so I didn't made a conscious DEILD attempt, although I saw a dream form infront of me, but I didn't stayed aware...[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I was out in the rain and I saw a girl with a red dress, she looked like my old classemate Louise. She told me to follow her, I did but she was very fast, but I eventually came to a house. I went inside and saw that it was an internet café. She stood in line to pay, it was weird and then I woke up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I had some very vivid dreams, but I can't remember exactly what they were about. I used the timer setup but with wrong settings so instead of giving me a lucid dream it gave me headache...[/COLOR]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2516[/ATTACH]
[COLOR="blue"]I had some dream about bees, but I didn't remember more and I don't want to recall the rest hehe.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I was at some kind of camp. There were a really evil guy who was mean to everyone. I wanted to say hello and see if he really was that mean. I got into his room and said "Hello my name is Christian" and I gave him my hand, he just stared at me with a "I don't care look". And I said "you will regret this. I then sat in some kind of computer room and my old classmates were there and I told them about the guy and we all agreed of kicking him out.
Weird dream, but this was the only thing I can remember from it.[/COLOR]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2517[/ATTACH]
[COLOR="blue"]I were out with my parents and their friends on a trip. Their dog followed me and I scratched his neck. We were good friends, we walked into a forrest and suddenly the dog shrinked into a the size of a bean. I got chocked! I didn't realised that I was dreaming, but I got a little more aware. I told the others what had happend and they also got chocked. I heard water and saw that there was a river infront of me. I saw a guy on a surfing board with a chainsaw approaching me, I jumped really high and escaped, but I saw my parents get sliced behind me!
This was a weird dream as well, but the alarm woke me up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Oh by the way, I have all my dreams collected in the Banhurt Dream Journal software and now I am ranked as a REM Chaser. Hihi very motivating.

When I woke up from the weird dreams and the annoying alarms, I heard my dad saying that he had his first lucid dream, wohoo! But he wasn't excited so he didn't woke up, instead the dream tricked him that he was dreaming again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]
My school starts late today, so I asked my dad if he could wake me up before he went to work.
He woke me up 7.15 and he set my alarmclock to wake me up 8.00 so I didn't overslept.
It should be added that before my dad woke me up I had used the timer method, so I had had like 12 small awakenings or WBTBs. But after my dad had left, I fell asleep again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I saw a steel door, I opened it and saw a stair I went down through the stairs and now I saw a lot of shoes, and I immediately realised where I was. I where in my old taekwondo club, which is a basement.
I went in there I noticed that there where a lot of people, and usually we only were are few. But now it was many teenagers like 10 boys and 12 girls, and this is a small taekwondo club. I was wearing jeans and a tee-shirt and I asked the trainer if it was ok that I joined the training with that. Then I saw that all the other were also wearing normal clothes, and the trainer told me yes. There were many hot girls there, and I got a feeling of me wanting to show of, in real life I have pracctised taekwondo for 8 years, and have a blackbelt so I should be able to impress newbies. Suddenly I see my classmate Martin running passed me, and I thought "hmm weird what is he doing here" and then I saw my friends Mattias and Johan. I wanted to impress them too so I did a wallflip and a sideflip, but then I woke up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I was aware of that I had woke up, so I lay still and just thought my way back to the same location again.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="lightblue"]I started to see vague images of my previous dream, but then I was just standing there again.
[/COLOR][COLOR="red"]This time however, I was lucid! This was my longest dream ever, but I lost my lucidity very soon, but not as fast as I usually do, so that's improvement.
I saw my perception getting clearer and admired the vividness of the dream, and I looked at the new guys training.
I wasn't lucid enough to understand that the people where dream characters, but I was lucid enough to understand that this was a dream and I can do what ever I want. I associated the taekwondo club with one person. A girl who once where my best friend, but i haven't seen her for a long time, since I quitted. I started to yell out her name "Nikita are you here?" and I heard a voice "Yeah I am in the other room." I said hey! and I hugged her. She sat in the clubs minigym and I thought oboy let's try to lift something really heavy. I thought to myself let's try benchpress. I thought that this is the truley oppurtunity to try to "free my mind", I grabbed the bar and it weighs 20kg/44 pounds so I tried to do that with one hand, it's not much I know but I am not that strong for real either :P But it felt completely normal, so I tried to imagine that the bar was made of styrofoam, and I felt that the bar was easier to lift! This was just a small test, but every little helps. But next time I think I will summon Morpheus instead to get the real training going.
Then something embarrassing happen. The girl's mom came into the gym and gave me a friendly kiss, like the kiss small children gives to their moms, so not a passionate kiss, but still... and I lost my lucidity, although the dream kept going.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]I went into the training area again, and I noticed that the trainer didn't know anything about taekwondo and I got angry, because I don't want him to embarrass this beautiful sport. So I told the guys, "Hey if I can do a sidewallflip on this wall, will you let me hold the training then?" They all seemed to be hating me, because I had stolen the attention from the girls. So they said "No, but do it anyway haha" I did but I didn't landed perfectly so I tripped and fell. They all laughed, but the girls were still impressed so it was worth it hehe.
I went out from the training and walked to the entrance, where the dream had started out, I remember that I head a baby scream and some girls talking french, then I woke up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I woke up from the alarm my dad had set. So the clock was now 08.00 and I had dreamt non stop! So that makes it a 45 minute dream. It's possible that I don't remember some blackouts or what ever, but I was very aware the whole time so that's not very likely, too bad that this wasn't a 45 minute lucid dream though :cheeky:

And oh if you wonder why I dare to write these private dreams, with names and so on, it's because this is nothing compared what our minds really WANT to dream, and you guys also dream these things, I promise :D[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]Dream[/COLOR]
[COLOR="silver"]Thoughts[/COLOR]
[COLOR="lightblue"]Hypnagogic[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]This morning I used the timer method and even though I didn't used it correctly my motvation to use it , or something, made me lucid anyway. It's not that odd because the timer makes me have about 12 WBTB attempt and each time I fall asleep, the chance to lucid dream is increased, because I am more aware. And this time I could really explore the dream and it's environment. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="red"]I realised that I was dreaming and I walked out of my house, it was night. I started to think about what it ment to be lucid, and I realised that nothing can harm me. So I thought let's try getting killed by a car, and when I though about that a fear overwhelmed me, and I lost my lucidity...[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]The timer woke me up, well so I thought.. I were in my room and I hear an unpleasant buzzing sound. There was bees in my room! They were really big and I ran out of my room. I watched the bees as they ate honey which for some reason was all over my room. In real life I have an electric flyswatter, but in this dream it was gigantic. It was laying in my room on the floor and one of the bees sat on it and it turned on and I watched the be get electrified to death.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]Then I had a weird dream about me being Borat and I saw a hot chick on the airport, and she wasn't wearing anything to cover her, ehrm upper part. So I said "Very nice how much" haha. Weird but funny dream.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="red"]Then I woke up in my dream bed and there was a really hot chick laying next to me and yeah.. I got lucid :P I can't blame me she was way out of my league, as all girls seems to be in my dreams. Anyway I went out of my house (I resisted the distraction!) and I remembered that I had been lucid before, and I started to reflect over the fact that it's allways night in my lucid dreams. I remembered that I had once thought of in real life, how the pavement will look in my dreams, will it look real or like a bad texture? It looked real, very real and detailed.
I walked around my neighborhood and I saw that my busline took a weird path, it was not on the road but on a cycle path. I didn't consciously stabilised this dream, but by observing the pavement and realising how odd the bus was I guess it made me more anchored to the dream.
I wanted to see a grocerystore that I often go to, but this time in the dream. It's a small store, but in this dream it was enormous! I went in there and saw that it looked nothing like it. I watched a hot girl from behind and I told myself that I am not going to get distracted by her, "it's my dream tricking me" I thought. I then saw her face, and it was not what I expected, I immediatelly looked away. The grocerystore changed into a video store and I wanted to summon a person.
In my previous lucid dreams when I have tried to summon a person it was very easy, because all I needed to do was to think of that person, because the dream was just like a vivid thought. This time however, it felt like reality, if you want to know the feeling, I will try to describe how I felt. It felt exactly like reality although I wasn't as aware as I am in reality it felt like reality, but I am tired all the time, not exhausted, but the feeling you have after you have woke up.
So it felt like summoning a person in reality, which is impossible, Neo could free his mind in the Matrix I couldn't..
I asked a person behind the disk where I could find that person, and she said "Oh the How I met your mother series is in the back". "Weird that wasn't what I asked" I thought. I then saw that that person's face started to morph like a bubble, I got surprised, but then I looked away and when I looked back it looked normal again.
I went out of this store and when I got out I was far away from home, I was on the streets of New York.
I did a flying attempt, and I managed to levitate, but not fly with control, by doing this I associated it as a dream again, and I lost my lucidity, but I continued dreaming that I was lucid.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]I said to myself "this is my dream, I control it!" I then flexed every muscle in anger and screamed "Someday you will all bow to me and I will be your God!". Some people started to approach me and said, we will obey you if you can stop our leader. Who is your leader? I asked. Who? What time are you from? they said surprised.
Then they told me that I was supposed to get up from a special ladder while they distracted guards.
While I was climbing that ladder a train approached me and it was going to drive in to me if I didn't hurried up.
I managed to climb up and on the top there was some weird creatures, I can't explain how they looked like, but one of them kicked me in the head and I fell and I woke up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I think I am going to continue using the timer, because if I can get experiences like these every morning, I will soon learn how to stay and to start believe so I can control the dream.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="lightblue"]Hypnagogic[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Today I noted my dreams as usual, and I ended up with four remembered dreams.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"] [B]How To Fly:[/B]
In the first one I dreamt that I knew how to fly in real life and I was teaching my friend how to do it. And I told him to imagine that the air was like water, and to fly all he had to do was to jump into the air and start imagining that he was swmming. I felt that I wasn't in complete control of the flying, so I told him that this is just to start levitating, to control the flying he had to do something that he associated with control, like put one arm out like superman.
He did and now we both controlled the flying. I might have become lucid somewhere here, because I got very aware.
But it was just a second of lucidity so I wouldn't count it as a lucid dream.

[B]RPG Game:[/B]
Then i had a dream about me being in the world of Rift and I can't quite remember now what it was about, but it was a rpg environment.

[B]Suck at soccer - Finding the bus:[/B]
I was playing soccer with some people and from the middle of the court I was supposed to get the ball into the goal with a goalkeeper guarding it. All the other guys did a pretty good job, but when I tried it I almost made the ball stuck in a tree. And I was embarrassed. When were gonig to get back home again, I couldn't find the bus. A guy told me that he could drive me to the bus station, because I couldnät find it. But we never found it and we stopped next to a gas station.
They went into a store and I followed, In there I talked to a woman, but I can't remember what we talked about. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Then I woke up. The next night I am going to use the timer method to have a lucid dream, every time I have tried it and everything have worked out perfectly with the settings and so on, I have allways got atleast a moment of lucidity. So I will use this timer to get experience of the lucid dream world.

[B]I am also going to test out the theory of waking sleep paralysis, without sleep atonia is almost impossible.
So if I see vivid images or hear weird sounds I am going to get out of my bed imeddaitelly, because in theory this is only a dream bed. Although I have to be prepared to that this can still lead to a normal awakening, but I have learned to feel the different sensations of the non-physical and the physical world so hopefully I will notice it.[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR="lightblue"]Hypnagogic[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]This night I remembered about 4 dreams, but when I woke up I only remembered a fragment of one scary dream. I think I am going to start to note the dreams again so I at least remember something.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I had a dream about a man trying to kill me and my friends. He tried to stab us with a kitchen knife and we ran, I pushed something into his mouth and he started vomit in the bathroom. It looked like he was unconscious, so we slowly walked to him and looked to see if he was ok. But then he opened his eyes in a scary way and said "Tricked you!" and a girl hitted him with a fryingpan as a reflex. The police came and took him to custody.
The dream changed and I was now a businessman and I went to my work and I saw a weird man looking at me with scary eyes. I then head him say "Tricked you twice.." I realised that he looked exactly as the man who tried to kill me in the previous dream. I then called out the gurards to take this man down. But when the guard pointed their guns to the man he said "I would not shot if I were you, you see right beneth you there are explosive gas, and yeah you get the picture." The guards started to cough, and the man screamed "realise my brother!". Then I saw his twin brother smiling. Everyone started to panic and tried to get out.

I was standing in a shopping mall and treated this scary dream as a horror movie. I looked at my iphone and saw that they were going to do a follow up.[/COLOR]

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

[COLOR="lightblue"]Hypnagogic[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Ok I fell asleep unconsciously on my WILD attempt. Score!
But I woke up frequentely during this night, and every awakening was after a dream, so I have started to notice my micro awakenings. I told myself to not write down any dream, and I ended up only remember two, but these were the most vivid and cool dreams anway.I will also starrt to give each dream a sepcial Headline, so I know what every dream was.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]
[B]Surviving The Train:[/B]

Me and my friend David was walking in an brittish neighborhood. Then a wind blow me up on a window, it was very high up in a building and I looked in through the window. Two men looked at me, they had a scary appeal and they pushed me of the window. I fell and under me was a trainrail and I was going to land on it. I heard a train approaching and I knew I was going to die. I fell on a fence and accidently pushed a fat man on the rail, his weight stopped slowed the train down and I miraculasly grabbed landed on the fence and saw the train pass by.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I woke up and I had some more dreams, but I don't remember them anymore. But after one of the awakenings I had this dream.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"][B]The Dragons Egg Quest:[/B]

I were in a van with 5 other guys. We were some sort of team and had just robbed a bank. Every member had a really cool appearance and I felt like just a regular guy among the cool guys. The police started to chase us, but then one guy in the driver of our van who seemed to be the leader said "Ah to hell with this, and he stopped the car and went out" He yelled to the policeman "Let's solve this man to man" And then he approached the policeman and did the coolest kick I have ever seen.
In this dream I somehow rewinded this kick and saw it all happen again in slowmotion. The policeman was knocked out.
It looked something like this but in a jump: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy6rG-jTVRs&feature=related[/url]
Then another police stepped out from the policecar, it was a midget police, but a musucular one.
He ran and dived into our car window and start hit us, the our leader grabbed the midget in the neck and throw him away haha. Then we walked into an old town and I picked up some rocks from the ground and saw that they had a layer of gold.
Some guy said "It's nothing compared to where we are headed. Infront of us were now the most epic castle or building I have ever seen. It was built of something red material, but I couldn't figure out what it was.
"Inside there are dragons who are gurading eggs, and these eggs are made of gold!" I hear someone saying.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Cool dream, but here I woke up...[/COLOR]

[COLOR="red"]Lucid[/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]Dream[/COLOR]
[COLOR="silver"]Thoughts[/COLOR]
[COLOR="lightblue"]Hypnagogic
[/COLOR]
[COLOR="silver"]This time I tried the "numb" my legs method again, and this time I fell asleep unconsciously.
I will keep trying this weird technique every night, because even if can't stay aware, it felt like I was more aware of my dreams when sleeping on my back.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I had some dreams, but I am not going to note my dreams anymore, because I am gonig to try to develop complete natural dream recall, my dreams are gonig to become my memories too! If I don't remember one dream well, then I was not aware of it enough, so I am forcing myself to remember more and to become more aware.

I had one long neverending dream, but it was a really cool dream. I were in my school talking to some friends, and then we went to a lesson called "Lucid dreaming class". In the dream this was completely normal for me and I went in there to meet my teacher. I noticed that I was very tired during the class and I fell asleep, within the dream. I started to dream and I become lucid.[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]I were standing in my friend's house and I thought "If I want to stabilise this dream I have to do it aggressively and I started to look at every object in the room, but I never stabilised my "Mind" or my other senses.
So this was just a brief moment of lucidity, because I forgot that I was dreaming, although the dream was still very vivid.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"].
I was still dreaming that I was lucid though...
I met my friend and we were going to watch tv and when we opened the door we saw a couple having sex!
We immediatelly closed the door and looked chocked at each other. We then peaked through the keyhole and saw a really beautiful woman with an ugly little man. My friend told me that he wanted to have sex with her so badly and asked me if I could make that happend. And I said "Sure I can make that man go away and you can take his place". So I ran into the room and heard her moaning, and I jumped into the bed and grabbed the man's leg and throw him out of the room haha.
Then my friend went in there and I got out.

Then I woke up inside the classroom again, and thought I was awake. The teacher was giving a lot of wrong information about lucid dreaming and I got angry and protested. The other looked weird at me, but I just ignored them. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Then I woke up for real. I am going to keep doing this normal WILD -> DILD style on weekdays. But on weekend I think I am going to do the bullet proof timer method, just to make sure that I can pracctise dream stabilisation every week. The timer method is great although, when you get lucid, you only have some mniutes before you lose it, but when I think about it what differs that from the other lucidity moment I have ^^ ?
But I also want to be a "natural" so the timer method will work as a break from that pracctise.[/COLOR]

This attempt was the coolest, but also the most weird attmempt I have done.
I set a six hour WBTB Alarm and then I tried to go to sleep. I sometimes have problems with falling asleep, so I said "hah whatever I do a meditation attempt in a too comfortable position so I can fall asleep". The clock was nos 22.30 and I started to relax I didn't think much in fact I can write exactly what I thought:

"Ok I am going to go through my day, I woke up and my said that she was ill and was going to stay home from work, ah I will never be able to stay awake while doing this hehe"

Then I felt my right leg "yawn" you know the feeling you get when you yawn, it felt exactly like that, but in my right leg.
I told myself "Oh sleep paralysis" in sarcasm. I then felt the same yawning sensation on my left leg.
I thought for a second that my legs really got numb and I muscle twitched just for fun and I felt that the numbness increased!
I then imagined that I really was unmoveable, so I started to twitch my arms and so on. Then when I tried to move my right leg slightly I felt a magnetic feeling, everytime I moved my right toe I could feel it in my left toe!
I have no idea to explain this, but every bodypart felt connected in someway. I tried to slightly move my left arm and I felt the magnetic feeling in my left arm! I though about lucidology and he said that when the legs a partially paralysed, the way to increase it is to move the closes eyes up and down. But as soon as I did that every numb sensations vanished...
I did a reality check and then I looked at my watch, it was now 22.55. Then I fell asleep.

[COLOR="blue"]Me and my two friends were going somewhere, I dreamed that I got lucid and my dreamy me wanted to meet a girl. So I summoned a hot girl but she ran away and hide in a bus. It was a game. I went into the bus and my two frends looked desparately after me. I started to talk to the girl and she said "Your friends are not welcome here" and I asked "Why?" "Only people with high IQ can be here" she said. Then she asked me a question I had no idea to answer and I told her that I had no idea what she was talking about, and she laughed and waved her hand and..
I was teleported to a forrest.

I saw a lake with frogs in it, I was annoyed by them and I even fell into the lake once. Then when I was about to leave I saw ducks approaching me, but these weren't ordinary ducks, they were working. They all had a stick and I stood in their way and they quacked angrily at me. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Then I woke up and saw that the clock was now 2.00 so I had dreamt in one of the early rem stages.

Then I did a WILD attempt, I sang songs in my head that I could remember completely (Green Day - Time of your life and Muse - Time is running out) Somewhere I llost consciousnes and had a normal dream.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I dreamt that my friend wanted to see a hot girl from my new class, and I showed him a picture of a girl (but she doesn't even exist in real life). But in this dream I thought she did.

Then I had a test about traffic and cars.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I went to bed 10.30 pm.
This night I meditated for 1 hour and 30 minutes. In other words I didn't moved a muscle for 1 hour and 30 minutes!
I slept consciously for that long, although I never hit rem during that time. If someone else want to try this out the trick was to find a position that's hard to fall asleep in, but you still feel comfortable in it. I had 3 pillows behind my back and were in a sitting position like this figure will illustrate :) i__ [/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I gave up eventually because I hadn't slept unconsciously so it was really exhausting although I felt rested. But it was tough to just entertain yourself with your thoughts. So I went up and looked at my clock and it was now 00.05! The first rem is supposed to come after 1 hour and 30 minutes, so I immediatelly switched to a more common sleeping posture and prepared myself to see the dream form infront of me. I thought about weird things, things I wouldn't even think about consciously, although this time it felt like I did. Here is what I thought:[/COLOR]

[COLOR="lightblue"]I didn't physically saw it, but I sort of visualised it.

There is a witch telling me to mark locations on a map where she want's to send flowers. On one of the locations there was a rock, I lifted that rock and there was a gold coin under it. There were also some branches and I started to associate those with the game Rift so I collected them. Then I "woke" up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I was perfectly aware of this happening, because it was me thinking it! This thought or hypnagogic wasn't vivid at all, but I still wrote it down as a dream to my notes.

I looked at the clock and it was now 00.48. I decided to fall asleep normally, but it was hard, but I did it eventually. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I was standing in a house with a lot of people dancing and drinking. This was a big party.
Some nerdy looking guys said to me "here drink this" and I grabbed a glas and he gave me a milkpackage.
I pured up some white milk into the glass, but when I looked back at the glass, the milk disapeares and was replaced with some dark brown liquid. I asked the nerds "What the h*ll happend?!" and they answered "it's vitamin B12 from appeljuice and milk concentrat. And for some reason I was fine with that and pured some water into it to mix it up and then I drank it.
This was undoubtley a dream, because it was vivid, but I never realised it...
I looked around me at the party and thought "OMG There is some really hot chicks here!" and the nerd said "Yeah.. I guess so". And I said come man you have to hit on some of these girls, and they said "No I can't do that I am to afraid".
In this dream I acted like the most smooth player in the world and I said "Nah I will teach you".
Look over there isn't she hot? Watch and learn.. Later on I ended up with 10 girls chasing me, because they had found out that I had "played" them. I think this dream ended when I got kicked by one of the girls in the face xD. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Although I woke up and thought, This was a dream! But the only difference between this dream and my thoughts and hypnagogic, is that it was vivid. I looked at the clock and saw that it was now morning 07.00 and I had to get up. Although I realise that Thoughts, Dreams and hypnagogic is the exact same thing, except everything that happens in the body during each of them.

Even though I also realised that the vivid dreams occur later in the night and meditatation the whole night is exhausting and not necessary, I now have the disciplin to do a WILD attempt over one hour! So next night I will do a WBTB and do a Traditional WILD.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I have been trying to stay aware from the moment that I go to sleep to the moment where I have to get up.
I know it is impossible, but if you don't have high goals, you will not get anywhere.
I had read about different meditation techniques and I learned that I am supposed to have a special posture.
So when I went to bed I sat in a lotus position haha. I started to repeat a mantra in my head to keep my mind awake.
I felt my body getting numbed and even some small vibrations, and this was a sign that I was getting completely relaxed.
Later on I got aware of how uncomfortable my body was and that I was boored, and I gave up.
I switched to a more comfortable sleeping posture and I fell asleep.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I had a scary dream (but not a nightmare) about a man with a gun telling me to kill his wife. I were in a strange house and his wife were in the basement and she didn't know I was there. The man gave me a knife and told me to koll her or he would kill me "and don't try anything tricky" he said. The dream felt real, but I never realised it was a dream. I went down and everything was going in slowmotion and I tried to figure out a way to escape. There was no other way out, but I went down and throw the knife on a sofa and did a schh-sign to the woman and made her understand that her husband was dangerous. I grabbed her hand and I told her to scream like she was getting stabbed. Then we ran as fast as we could upstairs and pushed the door open. The man stood right behind the door, so he fell and dropped his gun. We ran upstairs and for some weird reason the topfloor looked like my real house. (I have often had dreams about me climbing out from my house)
So in this dream I did just that. I opened the windows and stepped out on a small roof. We escaped...[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I then woke up with a frightned feeling, but it wasn't a nightmare even if it was scary. Because I felt more like an adventure, a movie that you are involved in. But it still felt real. I then grabbed my Iphone and googled on "boored while meditating. And I read that booredoom is just a condition, something to aknowledge while having it, just be aware of it and it will go away. Just like any other thought. I thought "To make your mind believe that you have fall asleep, you have to lay completely still". I and thought "Why doesn't the paralyses Stephen Hawking lucid dream every night then? I thought about this while I was meditating and realised that it's all in the mind! Be aware of your thoughts and you will be aware when they become a dream. I then tried a weird MUSIC-WILD technique. Because if you only lay completely still and remain awake then you will be completely aware, pure awareness. So I put on some low volume music and lay completely still, but I thought the lyrics to each song in my head.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]Suddenly I was standing in a Burger king restaurant with my friend. I heard the music in the background, but I didn't realised that I was dreaming. My friend told me to have his cellphone while he was getting food. Some men with a scary attitude watched me receive his cellphone, but then they ignored me. I then started to hear Muse - Starlight in my dream. And I thought "Ah.. I forgot to turn off Spotify on my iphone". Then my friend got back and I gave him his cellphone.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]When I woke up I saw that the Muse - Starlight wasn't even in the playlist I had listened to! This was a weird realisation. I started to reflect over the fact that I did hear my music in the dream, although it was exhausted when I woke up because the music was annoying. But I remembered on what track I had fell asleep and on what track I woke up on.
So what if I set a mp3 file with my voice telling me stuff like "All that you see now is a dream, look at your hands! Whatever you might think now it doesn't matter just look at your hands!!" Would that make me lucid? It would work like a WILD-EILD.
I might try something like that someday.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Then I did a meditation attempt, and I lay there really long and I never gave up, the only thing that made me stop was that my parents called me up for breakfast. I did swallow alot of saliva from time to time, so that may be the reason to why no hypnagogic imagery appeared. But I googled on that too and the solutions was to let the tongue rest on the front teeth in the top of the mouth. It was either this or swallow a dozen of times. So I will try this tonight. But I will do a meditation session on the day too to test this technique out.

Edit: I just meditated aware for 20 minutes! I set an alarm and the first 5 minutes was hard, but then I felt my mind getting calm, hard to explain, but the important thing was that I NEVER felt the urge to swallow.
It felt like I had only been sitting there for 5 minutes, but I was aware the whole time.
I experienced the time as faster somehow. Conscious sleep here I come![/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Ok it's day time now and I am going to meditate and I am going to try to do this for an hour now. I'll write my result when I am done.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I just got a new personal record (meditating for one hour) I was stupid and thought that I was in sleep paralysis, but as I allways have told myself, if you are in sleep paralysis you will notice it, because your body will either vibrate or you will clearly see images behind closed eyes. I am going to attempt to meditate the whole night this time, so I will tell you about that tomorrow.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Before bed I read about technique to keep your mind awake, but your body asleep.
And how to not fall asleep while meditating. One of the tips suggested that I was going to have a comfortable posture, but it should be a little uncomfortable to keep the mind awake. So I put two pillows behind my head, so I had a straight back, but my legs were still in their normal position. I concentrated on the blackspace and looked between my eyebrows and I started to think about normal things just to see if I could stay awake, and everytime I lost focus I didn't looked at that spot, so I just looked back again.

But somewhere I just blacked out. :)
[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]This whole dream was weird, but cool at the same time. Because it tried to convince me over and over that I was awake, it eventually did, but I got lucid.

I woke up in my bed and heard weird noises, normally I would DEILD here. I really thought I was awake, but instead I did the noseplug reality check in my bed and it worked![/COLOR]
[COLOR="red"]I was now laying lucid in my dreambed and I went to see my parents. Everytime I talked to my dad I was overwhelmed with feelings or something that tried to convince me that I was awake.
Then I went out of my house and I admired the vivdness of the dream. I thought to myself "This feels more real than the physical world!" and it did! The dream was vivid enough for the sensations, so I didn't had to stabilise that. But my mind wasn't stable enough so to speak. I can fix this with spinning, but I wasn't aware in my mind enough to do that. so somewhere here I was aware of that I was dreaming, but I wasn't aware through my conscious, but through my subconscious.[ so that makes it a normal dream again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I was filled with joy and I didn't had to care about anything, I started to climb up to the rooftops and I ran. I tried to stabilise the dream by running in a straight line and it worked. The dream was super vivid. but then I woke up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I was now in my real bed and I wrote this dream down, then I fell asleep again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I was eating lunch with my friends and a girl there that my friend likes was there too. We tried to make him talk to her, but he was to shy. So we started to talk about random stuff, then for some reason we went into a store and we met some other guys, then I woke up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]WILD before bed is really hard I admit that. But I am trying to find the perfect way to keep your mind busy without falling asleep. I'll keep trying.[/COLOR]
