lucid

Had two lucid dreams this morning via MILD.

Had a short lucid dream this morning. It was via SSILD. I was jumping around this room housing three engines. They were more like 3 super fans or whatever. Crazy, I know. Dreams are going to do dream things. Woke up and tried to get back into the dream world. Reached sleep paralysis but I screwed myself by expecting some weird monster to attack me. A result of me reading Sleep Paralysis horror stories on this site. Since the dream world heavily relies on expectations, I felt something hug me. I turned my head to see this red creature thing hugging me. It resembled Him from Powerpuff Girls. That girly demon dude. Snapped me right awake again.

Important take away here is that once the WBTB ritual is completed and/or a quiet mindful state is achieved, it is imperative to FOCUS ON FALLING ASLEEP. That is how I got my lucid dream morning. I must absolutely keep this mind because I have a bad habit of wanting to lucid dream so bad in short time I have for a morning nap, that I try too hard to stay aware and thus stay awake. WRONG.

Do SSILD. Get into a quiet mindful state via meditation. RELAX AND FOCUS ON FALLING ASLEEP. Trust in the technique to do its job.

Did SSILD - got a lucid dream. It was longer than most before. Yeah, SSILD is beast. Caught a false awakening and continued my lucid dreaming experience. Attempted to summon a dream character. Didn't go so well. Somewhere along the line I lost lucidity and had a dream about a co-worker and being at my old stomping grounds.

I think this Lucid Dream could have been 15-30 minutes long. That's what it felt like since I never had a strong sense of time in dreams and clocks usually suck in them. Spent most of the time running away from this gigantic monster that I summoned and wanted to kill me. In the process of running away, I learned to how control the dream. It seems the same faculty used to visualize in the waking like is attached to the dream world so to grant myself superpowers, I need to actively imagine and expect the thing to happen. I used this many times to fly away and transform into a dog and into a monkey. I even met Chuck Norris along the way hiding under a bed of flowers. The dream ended with me getting on a spaceship as a really intelligent monkey to escape. I figured they can't reach me in outer space can they?

This really is a testament to how SSILD is king. The thing is, I did the SSILD cycles in a half-lotus position for 40 minutes during WBTB before lying down and continuing to sleep.

Stay in a half-lotus position and did 6 cycles of SSILD which totalled 30 minutes. Went to sleep and had a lucid dream. Couldn't find anything to do other than roam my neighborhood so I lost lucidity like always and had a vivid dream about chris brown, his car and other american celebrities.

Managed to get lucid twice this morning. They lasted each about 30 seconds a peace. In one lucid dream, I tried to go outside and split the clouds to get some sunshine going. Unfortunately, dream didn't like it and attempted to attack me with a tornado. Crisis averted. I don't remember how the second attempt went. I got the lucid dreams after doing a DEEP 45 minute meditation during a WBTB period. All I did afterwards was go to sleep and literally just sank into the dream. I felt the dream forming. I said "I am dreaming" to make the images stronger and I was fully immersed.

I don't know much about how dreams work but I now see the strong connection between the "Mind's Eye" and dreaming. This is huge for me considering I used to expect the dream to form behind my eye lids and thus focus for hours which no results. Could the next stage of mastery be me mastering the "Mind's Eye"? I am not big on woo spiritually like chakras but I might do some research between The Third Eye, The Mind's Eye and lucid dreaming.

And of course, find a way to STAY LUCID LONGER.

Had a WILD this morning. Successfully created, summoned and interacted with dream character. Onward to more adventures! The dream character was morphing though. I guess my brain was like, "Who is this person?!"

My longest lucid dream yet! It was so long and stable that I tried meditating and it was weird to say the least. It made the dream a bit more vivid for some reason. So much happened but one of the highlights of the dream was me using telekinesis to fight and blow up two alien spaceship things. Gosh the dream was so stable I was repeatedly testing my ability to summon a dream character. Couldn't find her. Maybe next time.

Meditated during WBTB for 42 minutes and had a lucid dream that was pretty much stable. Yet, I only remember 2 minutes of it. I need to work on my recall and dream control. The is usually more stable when I let things go their way and not try to control them.

Recognized I was dreaming but I forgot to stabilize so I lost lucidity but still dreamed.

Your DILDs are more interesting than your WILDS because you are letting your mind work its magic instead of trying to micromanage everything. Met Naomi again. It was awesome but I now seek to have a full conversation with her.

So. This morning I had another lucid dream. I was in my backyard attempting to control the sky. Got a moon crescent to come out.

At this time, I now have a method to reliably induce lucid dreams almost at will. After freaking 7 years of hard effort and doubt, I am ready to move on to the next phase of mastering lucid dreaming: Dream Control & Stabilization. Each and every time I have induced a lucid dream, I lose lucidity about 30 seconds into the dream; maybe even less.

Here & Now worked again. The only hard part is calming down my mind to the point of stillness and awareness in the moment. Then, it is being patient with the pain of doing nothing, thinking nothing; not even about what I want to do in the lucid dream. Eventually, I feel the transition and know I am dream when I can freely move around as if I am on a rotisserie. The next hard part is then attempting to get visuals going which takes a bit of finesse and in-dream-visualization. I can feel my way around my room, however.


The next challenge is stabilizing the dream world because in all three attempts I have woken up, and immediately been pulled back into a non-lucid dream because I did not reset my mind into a quiet, clear, calm, present awareness. It honestly takes patience and discipline.

Had a lucid dream this morning. Did a mindfulness meditation before hand to keep me present. I do think the trick to lucid dreaming is keeping me outside my head and into the present moment.

Had a lucid dream this morning. It was DILD but I lost lucidity somewhere down the line in the dream. Stabilization is a challenge that needs to be worked on but I am glad lucid dreams are happening frequently.

Just started HowToLucid.com 30-day bootcamp. Not shilling or anything, I just have been looking for a structured program to develop lucid-inducing habits. Success is a process, not an event.
