iFatal

been at my grandparents for a few days, i havent had a lucid but i wake up more in the night. need to just remember to not just fall back asleep but try to get lucid first. like one night i went to bed at 11, woke up, got dressed for school, brushed my teeth, then noticed it was 12:40 at night. so things like that happen and all ive done in my dreams is get one with the most delicious chocolate cake of my life, and i hate cake.

I've got a question for you: Did you notice that chocolate makes dreams way more vivid? Everytime I'm at my father's place I eat lot's of chocolate (luckily I don't get fat ) and every night my dreams are freakin vivid and I have at least 1 dild. That's just me though

Edit: Had another (sadly very short) lucid last night so I think the all day awareness is working again

i might be having the dryspell because i have no real dream journal, however ive started to keep an actual mental one, where i recall the dreams ive had in previous nights, i started 3 days ago and remember all my dreams since when i started. i think at the end of each week ill sort of refresh, and start keeping track of the new ones and stop with the old, since i can only remember so much.

also ill have to give the chocolate thing a try lol sounds like a fun way to get lucid.

Well the past few days I've been drizzling agave nectar over my cereal and then sprinkling pure cocoa powder over it. And my dreams have been more vivid i'd say, and it can't be placebo because I only just read your posts the now. Then again it could just be coincidence..

I've been taking ages to get to sleep recently. I think it's because it's the holidays and I'm not doing very much. I also need to start doing WBTBs again and using my DJ. Meh!

In the last 2 days I wasted an obvious ld chance, and started doing mild again (I fight my hayfever with 5 medicaments at once hehe ) and it seems that it helps because I remember being aware very often in my dreams but mostly I don't realize my words. Well anyway I've got 2 weeks holiday starting next week and then it's ld time (the pollen I'm allergic against stop flying until then aswell)
Also I'm trying now to drink a hot cup of chocolate milk before going to bed everytime and see how it works.

back in my own house, dreams are more vivid since i try to remember them a few days back. i hope i can get some lds on vacation because its been a pretty long time since my last one...

@ Katsuno I have also heard that chocolate gives you really vivid dreams but I haven't noticed it with me. (Probably because I have never tested it out). I have also heard the peanut butter gives you really vivid dreams.

For the past couple of weeks, I have been having extremely vivid dreams but no lucids.

So, my holidays start today and I already made a ld plan for me
In the first week I'll stick to dild/mild and in the second I do Wild/Deild
My hayfever is also pretty much over so it doesn't stop me anymore from sleeping.


Btw I thought of starting some kind of a Dreammap (there is a Thread here for this) in which I will draw all my dream locations into a map
Maybe we can make a big Dreammap for our group in which everyone posts his usual dream locations. With this we can then visit the locations of the other members in our dreams and maybe even have shared dreams
Just a thought from me though ^^

sounds cool but alot of places would be hard to describe, like many are heavily distorted places from my real life. im thinking of starting a plan too, but i only have 1 week so i think im going to keep it to a diff method a night.

Nothing interesting in the last 3 days...
Maybe its due to my lazyness of doing anything ^^

yea... really right now im kinda doing the do nothing method. however i feel like this is a technique to be used when i dont have ample time to sleep and make lucid attempts, so i guess ill get back to this when i get back to school.

Wow, had a really crazy night. I think I wilded and had a dild but I'm not sure so I write here what happened.
I did a Mild attempt last night and after a couple of hours I woke up and went back into a dream and remembered my mantra. It was kinda weird because when I did a nose plug rc it passed, but everything faded black and I thought that I already woke up. I was in my bed and didn't noticed that it was just a FA so I lost my lucidity and the dream went on with a nightmare. I'm not going further into detail with that but there's another thing that happened that night. Early in the morning I woke up because my mother turned on the radio but I was still tired so I decided to fall back asleep while saying "I will do a RC"
Then I got a strange sensation like I was sucked into a dream and I could already feel my dream body (that's where I'm not sure if I wilded or not) but everything was black again. So I said "In 5 seconds I will open my eyes and then I will see the dream" . When I opened my eyes then I suddenly opened my real eyes and saw some scary hallucinations in my room because I was in sp. I got a adrenalin rush from the fear and it was amazing. When it wore off I tried going into the dream again and it worked but when I moved my dream body around everything was dark again -.-
So I tried opening my eyes again and I opened my real eyes AGAIN (I was like " FUFFUFUUFUFUFU" xD ) . Because I was scared of the hallucinations I put all my force into my arm and tried moving it out of sp. It was really hard but it worked and then everything was over.
So now I'm not sure if it was a dild and wild because everything was black and it could also has been only a vivid daydream. However it was a really amazing experience

Haha what an wall of text

lol, whenever i do a DEILD/FILD it is completely black. well actually i can look around and then it becomes impossible to keep my eyes open. i just wait, and i see a blurry light, and focus on it and fight to get my eyes open then im dreaming. and ive also had to many dreams where i dont know what technique was used, so i just kinda said screw it and dont categorize them much now.

also im getting closer to having DILDs again, but i found out things carry into my dreams slowly. like last night, i had a dream of playing my violin in the pit of Beauty and the Beast at my school. i was wondering why the play was different, the seating in the pit was messed up, and why i didnt know the music, but didnt get lucid /wrists. after this i went on dreamviews, and came to this page and saw all of you... but for some reason you were all really old... but being on dreamviews shoulda got me lucid but didnt...
anyway the thing about this is that in real life i played in the musical and the rehearsals for 3 hours a day, every day, for 8 days, and it was pretty stressfull, and i didnt have 1 dream about it untill 9 days after it ended. that is going to be really disappointing if thats my average carry over time... what if i have to highten my awareness for 9 days straight before i can get results?

Well that might just be a coincidence but I got this also often. Sometimes such events take sort of a "warm up" time before you dream of them
That's why techniques like reality checks sometimes take very long until they show results

@ katsuno

That sounded like a funny scary experience. I think that was a wild but I'm not sure. Btw if you want to get out of SP, just change your breathing pattern and that should do the trick.

No LD's for me. All I have been getting is really vivid dreams. I dont usually write in a dj unless I have a lucid dream or something. I think I might have natural dream recall because ever since I was a little kid, I would be able to remember my dreams. And the dreams were not like fragments but actual vivid dreams. It's a shame I can never get lucid

iFatal, were stuck in the same boat. also im stuck on what method to try. so someone pick one for me =)

siuol maybe mild? A couple of weeks before I thought that Mild would never work and that it's a boring technique and so on but now I think it's amazing. I tried it about 3 times now after a wbtb and I ALWAYS remember what I said in my dream. I'm thinking about sticking to mild and my awareness technique for now as it seems to be the most successful for me. And of course Wild when the situation allows it.
Also iFatal I also never wrote in a dj and remembering the dream after waking up is enough for me to don't forget it.
Had a funny dream last night where I tried a wild and then told my friend about the experience without noticing that I was in a dream

ok ill try Mild, ive been continuing the dreams of the play over a week after theyve been finished, i think that might be a good dreamsign for about 5 more days.

@ siuol

MILD

Its really easy and it works really good.

Nothing much happened for me for the last days. I just had a normal dream where I used all my lucid skills and learned new ones (I can shoot grapple hooks out of my hands xD) without noticing I was dreaming
