Tony's Workbook

big lucid dream last night. Long one. probably 8-10 minutes.

I'm in a dorm room putting things away. I am going back to college as an adult and I'm afraid of what this experience will be like. I have my dog frank with me and i'm wondering how i'm going to deal with her peeing on the floor. I try to find her leash but i can't and use a rope belt to fashion a leash for her.

Now i'm walking through hallways and looking for some orientation information. I am stopped by a couple of beautiful women in the hallway and they flirt with me for a second. I get weirded out and make my way to another room with a long table full of papers. I find my schedule and start to look at it but then i leave instead.

now i'm walking through a courtyard at night that's lit up by streetlights and i find a building with columns and i know it's a university building holding orientation. I go inside that there are videos playing on screens around a big empty room with shiny brick floors.

I'm watching a video about the cultural makeup of this town and they have a food segment where they show the layering of a taco and it's like a commercial with topping after topping and they start getting more absurd and fast, orange slices, cheese, a full gyro sandwich, an encyclopedia and at this point i know i'm dreaming and do a Dream Breath.

I look at the screen and say "freeze." the image freezes. I say "reverse" and it starts going backwards. I say, "show me naked women" and the screen starts flashing images of paintings and statures very fast. I'm smiling.

I start looking around the room and remember that I wanted to use healing energy to fix my back. I hold my hands out at arms length near my midsection and think about a healing energy going into my lower back pain. I can feel a warmth emanating from my hands and pulsing into my body. I know in my heart that this is working. after a few minutes i start moving outside.

I walk outside and look up at the big beautiful moon and bright stars. I float up into the night. I get up very high and look aroudn and suddenly there are moons and stars everywhere i look, I start flying around and the scene destabilizes and i wake up into the void.

2 LD WILD

Laying on my back. Saying a Mantra (calm down, look around, engage, announce, recall) I hear voices, I hear Carmelite's voice calling my name. I hear cats fighting. I feel the shudder and hear the reverberation of giant angel wings passing over me. That's the sign of the wild passing fully into the dreamland.

I wait a moment then get up, I'm in my room and all of the color is washed out. Everything is a light grey. I walk out of the room after a nose pinch. I want to go outside and can't find the door, only a window. I punch the window, the window is made of plastic and it cracks. For a second i'm fearful that i'm awake and jsut broke my window. I do another nose pinch and I'm reminded that i'm dreaming.

Now I'm outside my house and i start floating up into the sky. in teh distance i see a downtown city scape, large buildings. I see the biggest building witih the most lit windows, yellow light, and i want to go there. I make a "come here" gesture with my hands and now i'm flying faster toward the buildings but they aren't getting any closer. I imagine being closer to the building and now i'm right in front of them.

I see in the window, it's a hospital. Women are walking around in old school nurses uniforms. I'm inside and i see they are in a room with filining cabinets. I'm looking at these older women and one is younger and attractive. I pull her to me and start kissing, she pushes me away and says, "no"

I say, "ok, do you want to talk" she says nothing and walks away with a disgusted look on her face. lieave the room I pass through a waiting room with a large bookshelf. I see two women on the couch and i take one by the hand over to the doorway and we start making out and having sex.

i wake up, stay in my body and go back into the dream.

I'm in the same place, and i go to the book shelf and grab a book i remmeber to ask a question "what is my new name" not sure of what is my question, and my voice starts choking up as i say it. then i open the book and see the strange symbol of the two ms.

Then i go outside, i'm in a car in traffic, i'm trying to figure out a way out of the traffic and wake up.
-----------------

Last night i had 3 lucids but they kind of blended together
will make more notes on them later

Terrific job Tony! Keep up the great progress!

Excellent, very inspiring, congratulations!

Wild into a floating consciousness,
Green landscape with white lines, like tron
I feel like i can move, and i push my “soul” into the landscape and now i’m inside the digital world.
I Pull myself back into the void because I don’t have a body.
Now i’m in a dormatory in a hallway, I take a look at a bookshelf. There’s an unfamiliar soft cover DND manuel with a lavendar cover, I open the book and se something about a “spell potion”
I walk to one of the rooms and there are two ladies sititng on a bed, They are large brown and Hairy. One of them asks me to sit down, i do and she’s kissing me, scratchy face and she’s biting me, and it’s hurting a little and I want to get away.
Fade into the void.
Back in the hallway
I find a room with mood lighting, three guys standing and sitting around. I ask them to go get girls and i look back in the room after a second and the guys are gone but now there are beautiful women. I charge in and start humping one of the women, and our bodies meld, i fee a sharp feeling of pleasure. It’s building and before i climax, i wake up.
I sit in the void for a second remembering and then decide to wake up rather than go back in so i can write down some better detail in my space

Nice work! G+C is quite effective at helping to catch dream transitions, like into and out of the void. It's definitely possible without it, but it takes sustained, consistent practices which I am currently not doing too well but know I can get back to. Shorter and less multiple LDs at the moment here.

I look forward to reading more of your adventures.

1. I wild into my bedroom. nose pinch. Now i'm outside in my neighborhood. I'm flying down mimebark street. I look over at my hand and my fingers have fingers on them. I remember i want to use my weird dream hands and reach out and grab at leaves on a tree. I can feel the tree and touch leaves with each weird finger on my hand. fade out
2. . I'm in a dorm room. Knock on the door. Elliot comes in and says "surf's up. what do you want to do?" I say "let's go surfing". Now i am outside looking at a dark red sky on a dark gray horizion. I know i'm looking at the sea. my feet are in sand. THe sea is very calm. I lift my hands and do a "come here" motion and a huge wave forms off in the distance. I watch it crash. I lift my hands again and as the wave comes I run out into the water and land on my belly. Cool water. I reach down and feel for a board and it's there. I stand up and feel wobbly but gain my balance. Now the tube is enveloping me, it's endless, i'm zoming through it and I can hear the water crashing and feel the spray of the salt water on my skin.
3. non lucid - sitting in my bedroom with an old lady in a chair, i have my journal in my lap and I'm trying to rmemeber my previous dreams. I'm smacking my forehead.
4.Censord.
5. Party at the land of the dead. I'm at a party in a funeral parlor but there's a bar where the coffin would be. Ben Blanco walks up to me he's holding an Icee asks me to pour some rum. I tell him to say when and he does. I tell him i poured a lot of liquor there - he says, "why didn't you save me?" I'm shocked for a second and then he start's laughing and says "nah i'm fucking with you it's ok don't worry!". I see elaine outside, and tell her to go in that it's ok. it's a party for the dead and she says she just wants to wait outside.

Nice! The surfing sounded fun and dream 5 sounded interesting and possibly meaningful. Party for the dead would make a great name for a band, movie or story.

Big Lucid goal right now is to complete a vinyassa series of poses in the lucid state. In my last few lucid dreams, I've gotten so far as to get a couple of poses before waking up but even just getting into the deep purposeful breathing just has such a crazy effect on the way my dream body feels. It's awesome. Part of it is also designed to gain a better understanding of my dream body for purposes of stability, memory and control in the dream state.

I like your big goal and hope to see more on it.

thanks, this workbook has been a major source of motivation and inspiration. Fogel and Fry, thank you so much for staying helping on my journey.

Thank you for the kind words Tony! Those words also serve as a source of motivation and inspiration for me. I had taken a few weeks off, so my apologies for the slow reply. I hope all is well!

It's been over a month since my last LD. Some of my stronger practices have slacked off a bit but i'm trying to build them back slowly. I come here today to set intention to build a few major behaviors (night time screen time cap, daily yoga/meditation, sucessful WBTB) that will not only increase my chances to LD but also increase my confidence and desire to follow through on this work.

one step at a time. I'm coming back baby

I wish you luck building on those desired behaviors and could use some of that myself.

2 big lucid dreams last night. I've been getting back in the habits.
cutting off screens after 9pm
20 minutes of yoga/meditation before bed
more yoga classes
and ACTUALLY FOLLOWING THROUGH ON MY WBTBS

on the second lucid of the night, I'm in a second floor apartment
i remember that i'm dream chaining.
i jump through the window
but as i do i do a nose pinch and think "i should have done this before jumping through the window"
but i can breathe so it's ok
when i hit the street the ground stretches under me like a trampoline and i bounce into the air.

Nice work Tony! Keep it up!

Great to see you still persevering!

I've had some family issues and new responsibilities come up since my last entry so my LD work has slowed down considerably. However, I'm still at like about a 50% success rate for WBTB to LD. Had a couple of good ones last night, biggest areas of improvement right now is keeping up on dream recall and actually getting out of bed on a wbtb. otherwise, I think i've reached a level of confidince that if i want to have an LD I can have one.

That's an awesome achievement, Tony! Really glad to hear it. What does your current WBTB look like (at which waking [how many hours of sleep] do you get up, how long do you stay up, where do you go/sit, what do you think about, etc.)?

it's been almost 10 years.
wow.
ok.
well, i've been meditating, keeping a dream journal and slowly started the process again

Welcome back!

Last two nights have had some pretty interesting moments
in the first i had a massive epic dream that had several blazing dream signs that i didn't pick up on. Exciting b/c i see my recall is getting stronger and more vivid and I'm having major moments.
and then
this morning,
i had a dream where i was making coffee in the kitchen, then my daughter came down stairs and asked what was for breakfast. i said "hey, you're not here you're at a sleepover"
then i woke up
SOOOOOOO i can feel myself getting closer and closer.

I have been doing EFT tapping during the day while taking scope of my surroundings to ground myself into the body and scene, then i'm doing some RCs.

what i think need right now is a plan for what to do when i wbtb.
i just stumble around and then lie back down.
I need to get myself set with a plan of action with intention and then execute it
i'm also working on a few propsective memory things with regards to my DC plan
