Congratulations on the lucidity once again! |
|
Thanks for the feedback F. I'm wondering if my lack of really clear lucidity and recall has to do with the fact that I have not been practicing any waking mindfulness, meditation and have not been doing reality checks. I wonder if I could discipline myself enough to do these things if it would affect my level of lucidity. Hmmm, hopefully I can pull it together and focus a little more. |

I was a little better about being mindful and did a few reality checks during the week. I also stayed up a little longer with WBTB and focused more on visualizing becoming lucid and remembering my goals. 2 lucid dreams last night, one DILD and I believe a WILD. |

Nice set of LD's! Congrats! |

I've been trying to be more mindful in waking life. I think lucid dreaming is helping me appreciate the details of waking life more. I found myself having more moments of wonder just petting the cat, listening to music and closely examine flowers. If dreams are so amazing then waking life is pretty amazing (and mysterious too). We are just used to it. Had a long lucid last night. |

Nice LD once again |

It's been a while since I checked in. I've had a couple of dry spells, good dream recall though. I've been doing WBTB but find myself pushing the snooze for an hour plus then not getting up for more than five minutes. When I get up and really focus on MILD I've had success. |

You are doing extremely well! Having goals you're excited about can really help the process along... especially concrete goals of things you want to do in your lucid dreams. When I'm involved and actively working on the TOTMs, I have more and better LDs! |

Thanks fryingman, I agree that having goals helps a lot. I wrote down some concrete goals I'm excited about and will put full effort in tonight. |

I was having a dry spell, only a couple of lucid dreams in the last month. I read about it on here and took notes about different mindfulness and visualization techniques and re read about how to do the MILD process. I also forced myself to wake up more during WBTB and to spend 5-10 mins visualizing. |

Congratulations Azaleaj! I do the same thing when I notice I have had too many nights with no LDs. I mainly going over my own past notes and recommit to putting more time to my practices, realizing that I was slacking a little too much. |

I think I've had about 7 LDs since my last check in on June 14th. I had a dry spell, started putting in more effort with my MILD technique and really focusing on becoming lucid as I fall asleep and it worked. I've been experimenting with portals or trying to change scenes lately with only a small amount of success. I have not been able to find a new dream scene that I was wanting but have found rows of doors in hallways through an open door that was my portal. I've also tried to find a wrapped gift with answers to my questions without success. What I have had a little too much success with is finding sex partners. I think most of my LDs this last month have featured sex of some kind which is fun of course. My flying continues to be a sort of slow, pleasant floating with rage be dream where I had trouble maintaining altitude, a first for me in LDs but not in regular dreams. I had an interesting LD last night where I was floating along observing my imagination with limited visuals, almost hypnagogic type images/thoughts and I realized this is what might be happening when there are sections of my LDs missing from the middle of the dreams. I've also stopped worrying about waking up and this has allowed me to DILD a few times (I think). I love dreaming so much! I've started doing more drawings in my dream journal which is really fun. I need to really think about what I want to explore next (instead of JUST sex). I want to figure out how to visit previous dream scenes if that is even possible. I'd also like to meet the woman with the blonde bob again who was guide like and seemed wise. |

2 LDs last night. Snoozed through my first WBTB alarm for over an hour. When I finally awoke I only had 2-3 hours left to sleep but did the MILD technique anyway. |

Awesome! Congratulations on LD #100! I love milestones. They give you one more reason to recognize your progress and pat yourself on the back which can be added motivation to keep up the work of this journey. |

Thanks for the comments fogelbise! I'm a little late responding. I'm keeping up my progress and have had 11 LDs since I last checked in. For a while I was having shorter LDs and was worried they would stay that way but they didn't. I've had 4-5 of the longest ones I've ever had. In the dreams I was trying to figure out how much time had passed and was worried I wouldn't remember everything. I estimate they were over 20 minutes. I no longer use techniques to try to prolong my LDs except occasionally looking at my hands to increase visual clarity. |

Time to check in I think. It's been a couple of months. I've been consistently having about two LDs a week. I keep trying to have another WILD but always just fall asleep. I've had maybe 4 total and really want to develop this skill but I just loose awareness and fall asleep. Lately I've been pretty good about facing scary things in my LDs. I don't dream of terrifying things, just sort of ominous or overwhelming. Last week I had a LD where I saw the vast, scary ocean so I forced myself to go sit on the edge waist deep holding onto a cement wall. I got a little more courageous and flew up over it. It then transformed into a pool in a house. I continue to practice my flying and mid air acrobatics which is so fun. I'm still not able to fly fast or smell much but I can taste food. On several occasions I've stuffed my face with endless cake and frosting. I've also had a few regular dreams about people being alcoholics or addicts and wonder if this relates to my overindulging in life or dreams. In several dreams I've flown up towards the sun and decided it was way too bright and I felt exposed. I feel the same way about the sun in waking life. I continue to ask the dream or DC questions. Sometimes I get an answer and sometimes I don't. I wonder why. I was just looking at Stephen a Leberge's workshop info and am tempted to sign up. I've wanted to do it for years now. I'm still trying to meditate more but still find this difficult. Maybe it would help with WILDS. Some of my current goals are meditating in a dream, asking to speak with non self DCs (who knows), asking what certain symbols mean, visiting a beach through spinning or a door, expressing gratitude to my subconscious or whatever is behind life for these amazing experiences. |

It's great to hear that you are still going strong Azaleaj and having fun exploring you dreamworlds. Meditation should definitely help. I also don't do it enough though. I have also wanted to check out Laberge's workshop in beautiful Hawaii but not sure I'll get the chance with my wife's anti lucid dreaming stance. Nice goals for lucid activities as well. Keep in touch. |

Oh no, wife's anti lucid dreaming stance! Thanks for your feedback. I tried my goal of going through a mirror last night and I ended up in a closet of old lady clothes that were also too tight. I was hoping for a gorgeous beach of seashells ha ha. |

Congrats on teleporting! For a specific scene it really helps to "know" what is on the other side of the mirror (or on the other side of any teleportation method). I have found success by imagining and then experiencing senses related to the scene…like before going through the mirror you can "already hear the gentle ocean waves" and "smell scent of the ocean." Especially getting your sense of sight into play at whichever point feels the most appropriate as in "ah yes I can see a seashell, and another and another" perhaps as you are passing through the mirror. Have you ever read the thread in the first link of my signature?..it's actually not just for newbies. |

I’ts been a while since I’ve posted on here. I have not had a lucid dream in a while mostly due to laziness and fear of failure. I do still keep a daily dream journal and take a twice monthly dream interpretation class which is really enjoyable. I plan on getting back into my lucid dream practice and know it will take some effort. No work tomorrow so I’ll give it a go tonight. Hopefully posting on here will help hold me accountable and up my motivation a bit. I’m amazed to see a few of the same people on here still working diligently! That is admirable. |
