    Thoughts | Non-Lucid | Lucid | Techniques/Aids

    Nothing to eat after 6PM Actually I totally skipped dinner. I wasn't hungry. We had a late lunch.
    Bedtime 10:30PM
    300mg B6, 3MG Melatonin
    SSILD at beginning

    #90 The White Void 11:30PM

    I did SSILD in rapid cycles and eventually got to where I would either notice all 3 at once or hold sight while cycling sound and touch. I probably did this longer than I should have. I eventually rolled over to my right side. I would guess it was 30 to 40 minutes. Then still noticing HI I counted 1-10 until...

    I feel SP Vibrations. My thought was that it was too early to have a dream so I didn't do my normal getting out my body routine. I just relaxed and waited.

    I find myself in a pure white void. I hear in my mind but almost spoken to me at the same time, "Ancient Indian spiritual wisdom." I feel like I am a different person. I am lucid but I don't think of myself as I am in real life or this life. I think I am a tribal shaman.

    SP takes me again. I think I am on my back. Again, I wait and enter the white void. I DEILD chain 3 or 4 times. On the last one I look hard into the white void hoping for a dream or image to appear. I eventually wake up.

    I have a hard time going back to sleep after that.

    Vivid Sex 1:48AM

    I have very long detailed and vivid sex with my wife multiple times. At some point another woman joins but I motion for her to leave. There are impossible positions and distortions. I see the woman yell at a kid in the distance. I wake up and fail DEILD.

    I remember this dream like it really happened.

    Dentist 4:24 AM

    I am at the dentist office. They keep saying my name wrong. At one point they call me by my mothers maiden name. I just go along with it. I get a huge run around. Eventually the dentist comes and I think I finally can get my cleaning done. He asks me my last name and has to fix it in the system while I go to another waiting room. It's in a different building and the interior is dirty and dilapidated. I wake up and try DEILD

    WBTB a few minutes. Bathroom water.
    additional 300MG B6
    SSILD to WILD

    I can't relax my mind enough to WILD I start to think the extra B6 was a mistake. The furnace is set too high. I am hot. I try to ignore it but I end up having to get up and turn the temp down. I have spent too long on this and I decide to give up and sleep normal.

    Dream WBTB 5:46AM

    I am doing a WBTB in the middle of the night but I am in the house that I lived in Luling, Texas. I am making a sandwhich or something. Really I'm just lost in thought and mucking about. I see the living room light is on and I assume that my dad left it on.

    The baby woke up for a bottle. I tried to go back to sleep with him for a bit but I could not relax enough and he was squirmy fussy.

      Crazy... an LD right off of the first chunk of sleep! I tell you, I've been hearing more and more stories that make me believe that, while difficult, this really is something that people could shoot for under the right circumstances. What's still unclear to me is precisely what those circumstances are. Maybe you have to be really, really tired.

      I wonder whether you went right into REM or if you experienced an NREM dream (judging by the different contents.) I have a vague sense that melatonin acts as an REM suppressant but I haven't studied melatonin in any depth yet.

      You know what else? You may want to share this experience with Cosmic Iron. I know that he's always cataloging and organizing SSILD experiences and this one sounds very unique. Since he generally doesn't think SSILD is good for much right before the beginning of sleep, he may find this interesting.

      Cosmic Iron did respond to a post in SSILD thread. He didn't really seem surprised by it he said some guy does this all this time. I am probing for more info.

      I read that melatonin has a half-life of 30 - 35 min so it was probably out of my system by the time I actually got to bed and spent time doing SSILD.

      I don't know much about nREM but maybe that was the case. Or perhaps I limited myself with my disbelief? I knew it was much to early for a dream but there I was. I had a WILD and I was standing in another place. Or perhaps OBEs are real after all and therefore does not require REM sleep? Or Maybe I was just sleep deprived and got into REM early? I really wish I knew the answer to this.

      Yeah, I hear you. Discovering (or at least guessing at) the answer will be interesting. It didn't sound like an unpleasant experience by any stretch, at least to me, so hopefully you'll find your way back there.

      Did you run this experience by Sageous? He seems like a good person to ask about things that happen out on the edge of the WILD technique.

      Got a reference to this dream by CL regarding early LDs! I love this entry! And now your super abilities make much more sense!

      Thanks for the links! These early LDs are very intriguing. Maybe I should pay more attention when going to bed, since I am usually quite wakeful and I might capitalize on the opportunity, perhaps do a bit of SSILD and then just observe/relax?

      These have been rare for me but it can't hurt to try.
