Hmm, interesting that you perceived the shapeshifting as negative. I consider it as a positive: the potential to change who I am is important to me, and it is kind of a superpower empowering. Ghost is also not necessarily negative, could be more like the Holy Ghost since these ghosts are many yet one, and seek justice to overcome evil. |

A woman who is my parents age, and I think a friend of my dad's in dream, calls me up and says she is nervous because she is taking a college research course and want to make a good impression, and asks me for advice. I advise her to read a lot of what the professor published especially, and use his citations. Also to study, and ask questions. |

Woohoo! The process of entering a dream is really bizarre. It's hard to know, personally speaking, if I was conscious the entire time, or just returned to consciousness right a the dream began. I wouldn't worry about classification, but that does sounds like a WILD! |

Yay! I am very happy to hear about your lucid dream! Keep up the great progress (in all the different areas you have been progressing)! Try to think of anything you've been working on recently that might have helped in addition to what happened this particular night in order to help increase the odds of becoming lucid whenever you can put those factors in motion in the future. |

Scientists have brought to life prehistoric gad flies of sort. One escapes and almost kills a dog. The dog at some point lies down as if resigned to its faith. Someone kills the fly. Scientists regret that this rare specimen that was so smart was killed. |

Well, I reviewed the journal entry for the day before the lucid, and it was overall a fairly bad day. A day full of frustration, and giving up on some tasks and changing course, and then I did not feel well, so I went to bed early. Yes, the going to bed early is something I can try to repeat, but I don't want to repeat any of the rest. What I find fascinating about lucid dreaming is that it can occur even when one has been depressed, and even after one had a crappy day. And then the following day is definitely going to be a great day after one had a lucid because hey I can lucid dream, I can do anything. |

I wouldn't want to repeat that either…but I doubt that the negative parts of the day helped you to have the lucid. When I say recent, I am thinking any practices for, or similar to, lucid dreaming that you had been doing in the prior week or so. |

Ah, well, come to think of it. The day prior to that I actively decided to try something new, to reach outside of my comfort zone and expand my tasks at work. Learning, trying something new, that may well be good for lucid dreaming. |

I could imagine both of those things playing a factor somehow…hmm…something to think about. Learning and trying new things must make new neural connections, though I'm no expert on that. The Pokemon Go game reminded me of something CanisLucidus told me about: "Looking for the dream" during the course of your day. It could be combined with the Pokemon game - looking for the dream while looking for Pokemon. I can't remember exactly how CL did the exercise, but one way I would do it is looking for a dream scene around any corner I turn, or under a blanket for example. In dreams the transitions when going around the corner in a hall can be dramatic (dreamatic!). |

A silent movie was playing and my younger son was making instrument like sounds with his voice. I asked him why he chose not to narrate with words. |

In an earlier dream I know I was back at my old job but that's all I recall. |

Today I have reason to be optimistic. Yesterday's news may have shocked me temporarily but today it looked like it may turn out much better than expected. I won't know for sure until at least a week from now, but at this point I dare to hope. It is even possible that things may turn out better for me because of this. Sometimes fate may not seem to be listening, and something happens that does not seem at all like what one asked for, and then it turns out to be better for one than if things had happened the way one thought one wished. Here is to new opportunities, new doors opening, new forks in the road. Tonight I will dream positive dreams. Who knows with my current mood, a lucid dream might fit right in? :-) |

My mom and I were on some sort of large tour vehicle (a ship, spaceship, aircraft, not sure which). We were about to take off. Everyone else was searching for a seat with seat belts and with headphones (that would allow one to hear the guided tour), but my mom had other priorities, not sure what she was doing, and I wanted to be with her. So neither of us had seat belts nor headphones. The crew came and insisted that we need the but then they could not find a better seat for us and they got too busy with takeoff to pay attention to us. In my luggage out of some reason I had a large heavy container with half cooked rice and the water still in it. |

I was at my job, apparently working at a store of some sort. My boss was a boss I once had long ago. I was worried because I had to leave early and had forgotten to tell her in advance. I had to go to a Cub Scout event with my sons, a pinewood derby. I called my husband to ask if I had to go, but the kids would be disappointed. Then there was the challenge that I would have extracting them out of school earlier because it was a school day and school was not over yet, it was sometime after 2pm but not 3pm yet, so almost end of school but not quite. Then my older son was kind of there. I seemed to be carrying him like a baby on my hip or maybe like a puppet. His upper body was his usual preteen self, but I had the sense there was less of him in his lower body, and the burden of carrying a boy that size seemed to be a non-issue for me. Strangely he did not seem at all like he would be disappointed if he were to miss the event. He seemed mostly tired. I wound up asking my boss whether I could leave early for scout's pinewood derby. She went to the storage area of the store and brought back several pinewood derby cars, clearly fond memories of her kids younger years. So this was not an issue for her, but a legit reason for me to go. |

So I now have almost a month worth of dreams, and reviewing them for dream signs, the ones that occurred the most were my old job or at least one of my sons. My old job has the advantage of being clearly a dream sign because it no longer occurs in waking life, however usually I think I dream of it when I am less aware. My sons of course are on my mind a lot as they are in my waking life a major theme. I am not sure whether or not I want to check whether I am dreaming every time I interact with my sons, that seems a bit weird. |

Agreed. I haven't' found a good way to use my wife or son as a dream sign without quite heightened awareness, except when my wife is acting completely different or my son is much younger than IWL. If you got the old job one working, then your awareness would be good once you caught the fact that you were dreaming, but you might need some extra help to catch it in the first place. I tend to focus on things that will raise awareness so that I can catch a dream sign even if it is not something I am focusing on. One example was a dream where I was talking about my son and what he is doing in college and shortly after I find myself carrying him as a toddler and realize I am dreaming. I wasn't looking for a dream sign related to my son, but my awareness was raised after WBTB and MILD in this case (I alternate with SSILD). |
