    1. Idea: Meditation To Practice Walk Control (Sensei's Post)

      by , 03-14-2023 at 08:05 PM (Dreamlog)
      I came across a 2015 post by Sensei about active versus passive control:
      https://www.dreamviews.com/dream-con...esson-1-a.html

      In there, he makes an analogy about walking to the fridge and how that is a simple learned behavior for us, but challenging to his son who was taking his first steps. In a similar way, confidence and skill to achieve lucid dreaming goals can be attained.

      Memory control is a similar idea, but has an obvious flaw: when one is doing something new there is no memory to pull on. Sensei suggests (if I am understanding correctly) to essentially pretend there is a memory of yourself achieving whatever goal that is.

      My idea to execute on that is to visualize myself practicing something like Firebending from Avatar: The Last Airbender while meditating normally. This can then serve as the memory needed to achieve actual dream control in a lucid dream.

      Thanks Sensei!

    2. 9th LD (MILD) [Mantra: "I will remember to do an RC."]

      by , 02-18-2017 at 01:20 PM
      I'm walking down a street with a friend, we'll call him C, and do a nose pinch RC. Now, this is the thing with RCs. I know I'm gonna become lucid before I do it. So, I do the RC and it works. I become lucid.

      I see someone walking down the street in the opposite direction and when the person gets closer, I see that it's our physics professor. He says: "Hi.", and C also says hi. I curse at him but he doesn't react, he just continues walking down the street.

      There are cars and buses coming my way. I try to make a fireball and shoot the cars, but it doesn't work. I ask C what should I do, and he says that I should try to create the fireball longer, to charge it. And now I can shoot fireballs (thanks C). The longer I charge it, the bigger the ball is. The only problem is, when the fireball hits something, it doesn't catch on fire, or get destroyed (gonna try that in another dream).

      I start running towards a bus that is coming my way and when it gets close, I jump like a running beast, time slows down and I pass like a ghost through the bus. I can see all the things inside, the motor and stuff. I'm doing that, running through the street. I'm really fast while doing that.

      I get to the bus stop of my elementary school. There is a bus, the one like for trips, not the city transport one. The bus is full of children, and the driver is female. A kid from the last row points a shotgun at me, but I don't care since this is only a dream. A kid on the second right row keeps vomiting, there is some vomit on me. The kid next to him keeps screaming "Cough Syrup" and "Memes". I also kept thinking that the back row guy is going to become a school shooter.

      I get out of the bus, and run like a beast to a close meadow. Must've been about 7 dream hours. When I go to the meadow, I do a stabilization technique, the hand rubbing one. I start spinning, and imagine myself in the huge mansion, with black and white tiles. The dream collapses a few seconds after I spawned it the mansion. At least I managed to teleport!
