I have had very good recall the last couple of days. Even if the napping technique isn't procuding lucids quite as well as the first try, it still seems to give me excellent recall, and I can usually remember around 6 dreams per night. Recently all mine have been rather personal so I don't want to log them here, but it is still going well.

See ya

I can reallly only remember one vivid dream from last night.

At first, I was at home playing Sonic Adventure. I was playing a snow level and had just reached the goal when I noticed something strange. I walked over to what APPEARED to be a dead end, but then jumped up a little higher. At this point the perspective switched to where I am 1/2 in the game myself, 1/2 still controlling Sonic. It is hard to describe but that is what it's like. Anyways, I then jumped up on this little ledge and climbed over the top. I had expected to be forced back by an invisible wall, but instead I was able to keep going... and going... At this point I was fullly in the game myself and it was pretty sweet. There was an enormous landscape ahead of me, all there for me to explore. Unfortunately, I woke up sometime around here...

Dreams from the last two days...

I remember I was walking downstairs and saw this book that
was made by one of my teachers. It looked like a children's
book, but it was hardcover and was like 200 pages long. I
started flipping through it and saw how all the students had signed
it and then the teacher's voice started reading the book to me.
I don't really remember what it was about.

I remember I was at a Rockies game. The score was 206 to 0 and I was the only
fan left. I was down on the field and the coach gave me the game ball.

I was at basketball practice at school, which was wierd cause school was out
a few weeks ago.

Not much else has happened... I forgot to wake up and try the napping technique this morning so ya... Gonna keep at it though.

See ya

Well, I am finally back from the big ol' family reunion, which took a few more days than I thought it would. Honestly I am quite glad to be back to normal so I can focus on dreaming. However, I did end up having a lucid dream last night.

This dream started out as a false awakening. I actually had a couple of my friends spending the night so I had crashed backwards on my bed after a long day of boating. I think this unfamiliar position is what caused my false awakening. Anyways, when it first began I remember that I dreamt of waking up at 3:30... PM! I was appalled, and immediately got my friends up. I remember then sitting on the floor looking at my watch (which I don't normally wear), and seeing the numbers growing harder and harder to read. At this point I was pretty certain I was dreaming, and did a quick breathing test by pinching my nose and inhaling. I was pleased to see this return a positive result for being in dream land. However, during this entire I dream I was very tired, and really was just focusing on staying in the dream. Pretty much all I did was go sit in my chair with my nose plugged to keep myself re-assured I was in a dream. This seemed to go on for quite some time actually, and I was hoping I would wake up more, but I never really did. I then felt my actual body waking up from some noise coming from downstairs (breakfast I believe) and then I let myself wake up, cause I personally don't enjoy SP.

This dream while nothing special was still exciting because it was lucid, and I found a way to keep myself quite aware really, despite being tired in the dream. I guess now when I have my next lucid I will be able to just plug my nose for a minute to stay in the dream, and hopefully I won't be as tired since I won't have been wakeboarding for 3 hours the previous day

See ya

Well, low and behold the entire family (at least 100 people) are in town for a reunion. Needless to say it is quite difficult to focus on dreaming when you are sleeping on the floor in the living room with 10 of your cousins. I'll be taking a short break for the next day or two, then it's back to trying that new technique! Last night I was also under the same constraints so I have only got to try the technique once so far, but I am very much looking foward to trying it again after this reunion.

See ya

Well I think I found out the hard way that when you work out every day and don't eat enough... your body has a nasty way of telling you. I planned on using the new technique again last night, however instead of having vivid dreams that I became lucid in, I just had tons of scattered fragments that I didn't even bother recording. After that I even slept through my wake up alarm at 8:00 and slept until 9:30! Either way, I gotta eat a little more in the evenings I guess, cause just an apple for dinner isn't cutting it.

Anyways, here are the dreams from when I first tried the new technique...

#1 - I was in history class, and the teacher got up and reminded us all of the assignment that was due that day that we were supposed to do o ver the weekend. I had forgotten to do it obviously (since it's summer!) and I started reasoning with myself why was I even in school during summer vacation? I then rememebered the exact date and was like "I'm DREAMING"! Soon after that I got up and started walking around the classroom. I was focusing on just staying in the dream and not letting the rest of the class distract me and lose lucidity (like my DC's usually do). I then gave them all A's on thier papers cause I was in charge now that it was MY dream, and let them all go outside, away from me. Then after my victory I got woken up anyways by my mom cooking breakfast. -_-

#2 - As soon as I woke up though, I just went right back to sleep and re-entered the same dream. The room was a little different, but now there was a clock in there. I looked at this clock, and it was 8:00. I then looked away, and looked back for a reality check, and boom! 8:15 I then knew I was dreaming. Soon after another teacher entered and left a cell phone on a desk. I grabbed it and gave it back to her, saying she forgot it, but she just said it was her husband's and he wanted it left ther for some reason. Soon after though, I got woken up again by some sound from the kitchen.

#3 - I re-entered the dream and then looked at this same clock again. It worked like a charm, and I became lucid again. At this point I decided ti was tome to work on dream goals. I went and sat in the corner and focused. However, I got woken up again. Grr...

#4 - I was then in my room. I remember walking out the door and seeing the box for my Genesis. The box art kept changing and I knew I was dreaming. After this I went to the back porch to get outside and work on my dream goals. Woke up again though from breakfast being made.

#5 - Finally though, I re-entered this dream and was now standing on the back porch at my house. I remember watching all these cars going by, just like normal life. It was so life-like I wasn't sure if I was actually dreaming, but it was re-affirmed when some random person on a bicycle came by, tipped over, then just randomly kinda floated back upright and continued on. This strange occurrence assured me I was dreaming, and I wouldn't look like a fool trying to spin in circles and change the dream scene. However, I apparently don't have much experience changing the dream scene, as it didn't work and I just fell on my butt I then just sat for a minute and stabalized the dream. I then tried commanding the dream to change scenes, but right as I was doing this I got woken up again!

Well, I guess I only had 5 dreams But still, it was pretty awesome! I'm gonna eat more for dinner tonight so I have energy in the morning adn try this technique again! Can't wait!!!

See ya

Yep, you heard that right, I had 6 lucid dreams last night! They all seemed sorta chained together but eh, I was awake between each one so I call it 6!

Since it's getting late and I haven't had much time to record these on DV yet, I will do that tomorrow. But here is the technique I used to achieve this..

So last night I was reading about lucid dreaming and I came across this thing called the napping technique. It is really similar to a WILD except you stay up for a long time in between waking up
and going back to sleep. What I did was go to bed around 11:30. Then I set my alarm clock to get me up at 5:30. From this point I made myself stay awake for the next hour. I read out of my lucid dreaming book during this time to keep myself focused on dreams. When I first went back to bed, I remember having a non lucid for a second, then waking back up and realizing it. (or maybe I didn't wake up? I can't remember) Anyways, after this dream, my thinking during my dreams was VERY logical. Without giving away the first dream that started it, basically I was questioning why I was back in school, when it was June 3? (yes I remembered the exact date) Anyways, from there I became lucid. I kept waking up for some reason though during these dreams, but I was easily able to chain them together using a clock that was located in the room in the dream world. By then end I had had 6 dreams, and was VERY, VERY close to FINALLY meeting that individual I have been trying to for soooooo loooooong now.

Anyways, I found this technique to be the best thing since sliced bread, since it produced 6 lucids the first try. I'll log the dreams tomorrow, and hopefully alongside even more from tonight!

See ya

Well, I meant to post these the day they happened, but the internet went out when I was gonna post them so I am just now getting to it.
Also, these dreams all occurred after I started using the Equisynch brainwave demo, which I find to be very helpful. It is like the binarual beats I had been
using, but professional and much better and more relaxing.

We were having baseball tryouts or something and we were in this
huge gym. I was playing third base, but then I got benched.
Then soon afterwards a ton of other people started showing up
and it was a huge chaotic mess. It was really loud in this gym, and that's
about all I remember for that dream.

In the next dream I was on this train. I remember seeing the year 1935 somewhere.
Everyone on the train were like refugees from East Berlin or something, and they were
mainly little kids. It was wierd though cause there was a DVD player like you would
have hanging from the cieling in a car. I remember trying to play a movie but the
DVD was all scratched. Also, then I remember seeing all these kids randomly having sweet
laptops that SEGA on them though.

Another dream that was SEGA related was this guy giving an interview about the latest Sonic game I believe.
He was explaining something with the rings. I remember that I was actually holding some rings, and there were also
some special blue ones.

We were driving down the highway, when out of no where all of these tornados started appearing! We then pulled off into this little
town. I saw some people get into thier car to try and outrun the tornado, and I don't know what happened to them.
I remember right before our car got hit that I was really quickly trying to put on a coat for some reason.
Then it hit! The car NEARLY flipped, but didn't. Then I was concerend that my car was destroyed, but that was all I remember.

In this next dream I remember seeing someone scraping the side of my Sega Genesis box with scissors! This made
me really mad, cause that is a cool box! Anyways, that's all I remember from that one.

In the next dream I was riding motorcycles with some other guys. I got stuck on this little underpowered 500cc
that was really slow and hard to balance. I remember swerving all over trying to keep it upright.

This next dream I was at my house with eveyone from school. We were split in groups and my group won some award for paying
the most attention or whatever. Then out of honesty we said that we didnt deserve it.

As you can see, it appears that the Equisynch brainwave entertainment is working very well. I am really hoping to start having some more lucids again!

See ya

Well, last night was a bit dissappointing. I had finally started into deep sleep around midnight I believe, when out of no where my dad
came upstairs and flipped my lights on. I guess he was checking I wasn't doing any late night programming but come on! Anyways, it
got me all out of rythm so last night I can't recall anything.

However on a positive note, today I was watching some youtube and low and behold, an ad came up that was actually useful! It
took me to a place that deals with binaural beats, and they have a product called EquiSynch. The beats that I use I simply ripped
from youtube and di myself, but according to this Equisynch these ones have been professionally developed into individual sessions
that you can use. I downloaded the free demo (which I plan on keeping btw) and if it goes well I will most likely end up purchasing the
entire thing. I'm not sure yet what all the different sessions do, but I am very excited to get started with this demo.

Also, I don't know if I had mentioned this, but I acquired a pair of Sleep Phones during the school year. They are really great and I use them every
night. I am super pumped to try out Equisynch with my Sleep Phones! I'll keep updating on how it goes, and if it helps me get back in the swing of
things.

See ya
