Thread: My Tutorial for extending Lucid Dream Time. Hours of LD.

Yep, I'm just trying to get my LD first. Btw Atkins, you are very active as I have noticed, and you should hang out in the chat room sometimes. A lot of fun stuff goes on and you sound like a chill guy. I'm in there quite a lot, and you will get to know some of the staff, popular members, etc.

Nice tutorial atkins513. I will keep that in mind not to think about my sleeping body and only focus on my dream body.

Ya, i guess I am pretty active on here.. I enjoy this whole thing, and enjoy helping others... I may check out the chat room sometime... Is there a particular room or is there only one room for DV?

Gary you should put quotes up in your OP of success stories. Hopefully I will have another LD soon to try this.

I couldn't think of a better title . Much occured in this dream. I start out in some random neighborhood. I see a vision of something I had from a "past dream"-that never really occur. I see it all in third person. I see me sitting in the sand with this guy in broad daylight. It looks nice out! Then...I see this caveman dude lookin all weird behind us (though I haven't seen the show in ages, it was that dorky pirate dude from spongebob when he was a caveman ). I then "know" that that's what's going to happen in my dream comin up...and, the caveman aparently caused some kind of mayhem .

I guess because I realized that the vision was going to be apart of the dream coming up, I did, in fact, realize it was a dream. I still wanted to continue to go to the guys house, though (even though the setting wasn't at his house..). Suddenly, I am a block or so in front of me some to the left, so it seems, in the passenger seat of the guy's car. We are driving away from his house for some reason, and I express to him that I want to go to his house. We near the end of the road, and he does a u-ey. Once we get to the house, I see that it looks rather junky. The house is small, and has this big "purposful" opening on one side- practically the whole part there, and another smaller "purposeful" opening on the other side. There is junk scattered everywhere- much in his house, and some near it.

His explanation for the junkiness is that the poor guy's an orphan . I then am outside on the back side of the house. I want the clouds to go away! I look all around me, and it looks rather vivid, as many of my fully consious lucids are. I am keeping in mind atkin's tutorial, and tryin to chill, touch things, and such. The clouds look very pretty, but it's cloudy, so I want them gone. I want the bright sunshine! They look realistic, but at the same time not. They weren't all "molded" together when they were near each other, but rather in clumps, with all the wisps that clouds have. All's that I do to make the clouds disappear is think them away, and simply look at them. The clouds are sorta "flying" away with the wisps moving kinda like wings. I especially watched one of them. Then, I started to kiss the guy for a bit, but, as often happens, if I do this too long, I feel the dream fading- or at least I think I do. BUT, I come up with the most brilliant solution instead of waking up....

I think myself sitting at the computer at my house, because my thought process was that I was THINKING that I'd come out of the computer to do it....kinda hard to explain. But, the point is that the dream was perfectly fine again, and I was still very much lucid! It was kinda like a consious FA- but I was still lucid, and I wasn't waking up falsely. I highly reccomend this technique! I look at the screen, and I see that I am on DV . I decide to head upstairs. I do say "clarity" a couple times, but my dad looked at my weird when I said it...and when I said it at another point, my sis, the only one in the room, didn't seem to care. I see my sister, and ask her where Todd is, implying that he must be at my house. Somewhere in there, I figured out or "knew" what his name was, that guy I was with (I was greatly surprised that I actually remembered his name upon waking, go me! That never happens ) My sis says that he was on the deck or something...

So, I went outside, and I saw a bunch of slush on the ground (lately, this seems to be a dream sign in my dreams...that and being at my home....and only in lucids!). I wanted to remove that slush...I thought it would be rather complicated, since there is so much of it. I tried to raise it with my mind...but, it didn't work. No worries, I had a solution, as I often do in my lucids . I go to find my dad to have him help me. He comes to where I am, and the snow raises a foot off of the ground, then it turns to water and falls down!! Aparently, according to him, his secret was this mirror that he had with him . It is the "solution to everything".

I then go to look for Todd, then I see him. I go over to him and kiss him a few times. Then, me and him, and maybe my sis and other DC's...are just lookin at the road behind us. Since my yard is so big (yeah, this house actually looks like my house IRL, and same with the yard) you can see past the houses between the yards to see much of the road. I see this unique colored car, it looked really cool! It looked kinda like a sports car, but it was black and hot pink! Then, I see it coming from the road, and coming off the ground, and starts to fly into the air, but not out of control. I then remember how cool dreams are...since there is no gravity. Then...this combo of a monster truck/commercial truck comes into my yard...I am thinking that they shouldn't be in our yard! But, then this person appears that is a lady in the truck, she goes onto this platform that seemed to just appear. There are two other people some in front of me to my right.

I see the truck more closely, and it is seethrough, glass...and inside are sections of giant BARBIE DOLLS! Then lady is wearing a cheesy girl tophat, and some kind of a fancy black suit type costume. She is a brunette . I see some prices largely written on the truck near the barbies, some about 5 dollars to 7 dollars, I believe...Aparently, they are selling these barbie dolls. Then, the guys speak up of how they no longer own the barbie company, which is why they must sell them so high, otherwise they wouldn't make a profit.

Then, we are all sitting in this wagon type thing...still in the yard. I then ask if people know me, if I'm well known, since I am the "dreamer". Todd answers by saying something like "...(my FULL name)". So, I think that that was an implied yes...


This was a pretty good LD!

Thanks, Atkins .

I call your technique a success! I have had LD's this long before, but not many I tell you! It also helps that you "assume' that it will work, but clearly that's not the only reason. *Rates thread 5 stars*

And I see that your title says "the dreamer". I often say that about myself in LD's! It makes them like me better, and such...

There are two main rooms, #DV, and #Luciddreaming.

Thanks a lot for this tutorial.

I have use these techniques, but for a different purpose. I used the ones about being comfortable, and blocking out light and sound in order just to sleep better, which of course gives you longer better dreams. I haven't done it for a long time, but last night I used earplugs and a blindfold, and I slept a lot better!

Also, I have walked around in a lucid dream touching things in order to increase my sense of dream-touch.

Stopping, taking it all in, in order to extend lucid dream time makes perfect sense.

Next lucid dream, I am going to walk around very slowly, touching things, smelling things, and taking it all in. I used to stay in one place which works very well, but for some reason it was always a specific place (a temple). It never occurred to me to stay in the one place I happen to find myself in upon becoming lucid.

I hope you post your DJ online. I would love to read it. Thanks again for giving me new perspective.

I like how you talk about external stimuli here. It's not something you see discussed often. Still, I'm as surprised as ever to find out this bit of information you've shared isn't already common knowledge. I've been doing this, albeit to a slightly lesser degree (I'm lazy even in my LDs), for a long time now with consistent results. I thought for sure everyone knew how important engaging sensory details is when it comes to prolonging an LD. Yet again, I've been proven wrong.

Good on you for bringing this to everyone's attention.

this is a great efort cheers. i agree fully about taking of anything like watches. i really seem to still have a strong link to my body, even in pretty strong lucids. i put a sleep mask on this morning, went into a lucid, but my link to my body was so strong still that my vision was obscured in the dream! so odd. next i need to learn how to turn a lucid into a more out of body experience so i can reduce the link because i really feel like it holds me back at times, probably for my own good though

ill add this because it may help someone, but i had a very long and stable lucid the other night, by floating around with legs tucked up in a sort of lotus position. served as a constant reminder of where i was and because i was just floating rather than tearing up to the sky, it stayed very stable. ive tried the ball thing and smoking too and can vouch for those as great methods aswell. holding an umbrella thing worked for me once too, because i never use one in reality

Just wanted to say, these simple techniques are awesome!

Indeed!
