    2/14/13 Thursday Bed 12am - 7:50am

    *Did something have not done in a while - sat on a bed beforegoing to sleep and repeated "looking at hands(feet)/counting" RC and matra. Also as falling asleep.

    Took 50mgs of B6 around 4pm.

    Had a drink of water before bed and each time I woke up.

    DR1 - 2:35am
    I'm modding with CL. Replying to a thread.

    DR2-5 - 6:21am
    - Someone prints a picture and staples it on a t-shirt while a guy is wearing it.
    - Taking a shortcut somewhere through 15 icecaves inside volcano Etna
    - Tiny white worm bites a hole in my arm
    - Going to movies with 2 groups of friends

    FAs - 7:50 am - got lucid in all of them
    Don't remember all, how I got lucid, but I know I counted my fingers. Tried to yell a few times "stabilize", but all came out is whispers. Have to practice yelling again IWL.

    1. - I'm with 2 kids on a bed, watching TV. I realize I can see it through my closed eyes and I figure, this is perfect time to test it. So I describe what I see and boy comfirms each time. I feel a little bite on my right arm. Like small mouth. (gotta check next time, maybe it's my cat). I count my fingers, more than 5, I already suspected because of TV, get lucid.

    2. - I'm approaching a field of grass with white standing and toppled over greek columns. Someone points out an older building, with anti-aircraft gun on it's red shingled roof, that fortified with sand bags. I'm thinking Rome, WW2. I'm climbing on the columns, trying to fly, at least get high enough to fly from there.

    3. - I'm walking through an office building, where I used to work (not in WL). My old boss comes out the door and we almost collide. he is surprised to see me and makes a face, thinking I'm there to ask for a job. But I'm not. I walk outside, my dress pants draped over my arm, when I count my fingers. Get lucid, throw the pant on a bush. I see a absolutely huge tree with no leaves on it. It's full of cookoo-clocks, though. It's beautiful.

    4. - I just woke up in my childhood bed. The hallway is dark, but I see a silhuette of my mom. She is getting ready to go for work. I get lucid, get on my balcony, about to jump, when I sit on an edge and count fingers and pinch nose for a good measure. Then I jump. It's hard to fly.

    5. - I get out of the window and i'm flying over snowy street in NZ. I think it's OBE, because they have snow right now IWL. I try to follow some people on a street. Then I see the moon on daytime skys. I say that's where I'm going today. But can't fly.

    6. - I'm giving a kid a shower to get him ready for school. Not sure which bottle is shampoo.

    7. - I volunteer myself to be in a porn movie. I'm accepted on the spot and I'm shown my "stage".

    8. - I'm in a futuristic town with huge buses and huge buildings. I'm climbing on top of a bus and on a next even toller bus and so on, because I wanna fly but can't.

    *I think I gotta get over this urge to fly. I'm missing out on so much 'ground exploration' while I desperatly look for a place to take flight from. I could be walking around having fun.


    It all happened way too fast, but it was incredible. Thank you, can I please have another one.

      No freaking kidding! Amazing, amazing series of dreams. Guess I'm going to be trying pee water.

      What time did you finally wake up? I'm curious how tightly packed all of these were? Do you have any idea at all what might have caused this volcanic lucidity? In any case, congratulations!

      What's CL? Or did I just get promoted to mod?

      Thank you for your comment.

      It was really fast, back to back, maybe 10 min. I felt as I was rushed, ushered through the whole thing, as if someone was saing, "ok, wake up, count fingers, get lucid, then I was thrown back to bed, wake up... didn't really have time to stop and smell the roses.

      I just added to the post - just remembered, that I took 50mgs of B-complex at around 4pm. It's the extended release kind. First time I took it, I had 3 longest, most vivid, most interesting and most detailed dreams of my life. But it didn't seem to help since then.

      I woke up from the last one at 7:50, didn't wanna get up but forced myself so I don't forget. Waited for a second or two to see if it continues, then counted fingers, haha. But I was up for real.

      I went to bed at 11:45. But I just fed the cats, so I thought I better wait for them to go potty before I lay down, so I just sat on a bed and did my favorite "Next time I'm dreaming, I look at my hands and realize I'm dreaming" with counting fingers. As i'm doing it, I notices that my bare feet are in my field of view too, so I jokingly thought, maybe I make an RC out of those too and I said a few mantras with feet instead of hands.

      I have noticed, that sometimes, some RCs or mantras stop being effective and I don't get lucid, until I start using a brand new one. So maybe the "feet" thing and me thinking about it as strange thing was something my mind appreciated as something new and entertaining and it rewarded me with this incredible series of FAs.

      I have had a series of DILD +5 DEILDs before, but never FAs. And today, first one was actualy a DILD, I believe and rest FAs.

      And yes, CL is you, canislucidus. I think this was because we comminicated yesterday over a DJ or something.

      I have also noticed, that stuff that impresses me during day showes up in my dreams that night quite often.

      Awesome, thanks for that info! That's great stuff.

      I had noticed that you took the B-complex at 4 pm and was struck by how much earlier in the day that is than what I'd tried. I've tried B vitamins at WBTB and pre-bed, both with good (but inconsistent) results. My highest-ever level of lucidity was after taking B-6 before bed for the first time. The idea of taking a time-release version earlier in the day is very interesting.

      It's funny that you mention the "stare at your feet" reality check. I spotted my feet once in a dream and they looked like frightening purple troll feet and got me lucid. Unfortunately, it was just a fragment -- I woke up right away. I agree with you that the novelty of your mantra really could have played a role. You're asking something completely new of yourself. It's natural for your mind to pay much closer attention to this novel input. And there's no just "going through the motions" and repeating the mantra without meaning it... it's too new for that!

      I went to bed at 11:45. But I just fed the cats
      It's still strange for me to think of you owning cats instead of actually being the cat in your av.

      Awesome!! I am sure that I enjoyed my brief moment of glory and power as a dream world mod. And yeah, I've noticed the same thing about day residue. I get my best dreams on days where I see interesting places, talk to interesting people, and of course visiting DreamViews (heh heh...)

      I didn't even know they are time release, untill I looked at it closer just recently. But I have noticed, that I didn't get any result when taking it before bed. Only, when I took it around 1pm. 4pm - I thought it will be too late, but I tried anyway.

      Maybe time release acctually accumulates it in my system, so by dream time I have more of it if I take it earlier in the day rather than later. But I'm just speculating here. I think it's flushed out fairly quick. Also have better success with 50mg than with 100mgs. But that could be just coincidence, since success is so spotty with it anyways.

      I'm sure if you asked them, they would say they own me, and I would have to agree.

      Also, I have a pattern of not only RCs getting boring for my mind, but also time and type of attempt. Like first I had all DILDs from WBTB at night. Then I had mostly WILDs during nap on sofa and barely any DILDs. My Hand RC stopped working, found the levitation RC and "lets change something" RC and bam! I was levitate RCing like a mad man in my dreams.

      My conclusion, I have to keep my mind on it's toes, keep it guessing, what I'm gonna do next and mostly keep it entertained. And an occasional thank you goes a long way.
