Thread: Jimmie Lynne's Dream Journal

Hey congrats on the LD.

i'll refresh your memory on the system i use to keep the objects from changing, and increasing realism and control.

The first gate of Dreaming:

Find your hands in your dreams. view your hands and other objects in a systematic fashion. the system: Hands, object, object, object, hands, same object, same object, same object, hands etc.

all objects are viewed in quick and brief glances. the goal here is to keep the objects stable. good practice of this system enables you to sustain the view of ANY object in your dream, another by product it REALNESS!

good job on practicing so far! keep it up

I couldn't find my hands though. They were missing. My arms were almost there. . . sort of vaguely blurry. . . but my hands didn't really exist. . . if I concentrated I could get a glimpse of fleshy color but no definition at all.

Checklist:</span>

___ Touch - Touch various body parts. Touch items in the room to see how they feel.

___ Smell and Taste - Find a food object. Smell it then taste it.

___ Practice Materialization - Attempt to take your wallet, car keys, and some change out of your pockets

___ Practice Stabilizing - Set three random items (your keys, your wallet, some change?) on a table and try the hand/item technique described by Ranma

___ Find the outdoors

___ Test Reality - Jump into the air to see how long you can stay up

___ Practice Flying - Attempt to fly by jumping off a car and willing yourself to stay in the air

___ Spinning - Try the spinning technique to see what will happen

___ Interact - Find a dream character, have a conversation with the dream character, convince the dream character to let you examine their hands, compare their hands with your hands, hold their hand and see if yours becomes clearer or if theirs becomes foggier.

___ Attempt to call your dream dog


There&#39;s quite a bit more stuff in Lesson 2 than in Lesson 1. I want to make sure that no matter where I am, I&#39;ll have several assignments I can do. Also, most of these things shouldn&#39;t take too much time (especially if I botch them). The one that should take the most time is the interaction with my first lucid dream character. (Assuming I can find one. . . I hope it&#39;s Jyl and not the creepy guy that lives on the first floor of my appartment building. I don&#39;t want to hold hands with him. He doesn&#39;t bathe. . . I suppose that would fulfill my "smell something" requirement though. ) If things start getting hairy and I think the dream&#39;s about to end, I&#39;m giong to jump off my balcony to see if it hurts, or if I&#39;ll fly. I live on the third floor so in reality that would be quite a leap . . . I wonder what it would look like in a dream. I REALLY want to go outside in my next LD. I&#39;m sick of hanging around bathrooms. My first 2 LDs and I spend the majority of them in bathrooms. . . pathetic.

Night 14 - 10/15/06 - 5 dreams recalled - 1 lucid

#1 - This was weird. When I was falling asleep last night I had a mini dream. In the mini dream I patted my covers several times and dust flew up into the air and I accidently inhaled some and coughed. Then I woke up. . . I was disoriented for a second cause I knew I hadn&#39;t moved but it was such a smooth and quick transition it didn&#39;t feel like falling asleep and then waking up . . . weird.

#2 - I was at some kind of aristocratic ball

#3 - I was me but I wasn&#39;t and I was also sort of a man. . . a little tiny short one. I had to choose a wife between two different women. Both were wearing rockette costumes. We were at a roller skating rink. I chose a red haired girl and she was much taller than me. She danced me around on my skates and I was very scared so I made her stop.

#4 - I was sitting on a couch talking to someone and I heard a noise so I went to go yell at my sister in the basement to be quiet. When I got to the basement door, I looked down and saw her friend Mandy making the bed. I asked what they were doing and Mandy was very mean to me. So I called her a bitch and she was even meaner so I kicked a golf ball at her. She got mad about that and I said that the golf ball didn&#39;t get anywhere near her and to stop whining but she didn&#39;t so I kicked an exercise ball at her. It hit her and knocked her over. I went back to the couch and realized that the girl I had been talking to was Cindy, Mandy&#39;s older sister who used to be a friend of mine when I was a kid. I told her Mandy was being annoying but I took care of it. She asked what I did to annoy her and I said I called her a bitch but it was her fault.

#5 - I had to move my car so I went out to my parking lot and my car was just sitting in the middle of it, not in a parking space. I thought, "I can&#39;t believe I left it there. I&#39;m lucky it didn&#39;t get towed." So I move my car and get out of it. . . then I realize that it&#39;s not between the two parking lines. . . then I realize that it doesn&#39;t look like my car. It&#39;s too new looking. But I rationalize that it must be my car cause it&#39;s the right color and I just used my key to move it. I get back in to move it again so it&#39;s between the lines and when I&#39;m pulling the car into the space I go too far and nearly hit my apartment building. Then I realize that I didn&#39;t feel the bump. I should have hit the huge curb. So I back out of the spot again and I still don&#39;t feel the bump but I see the curb in front of me. I realize I must be dreaming and I do the nose RC. It works and I become lucid. I back my car up to park it again and when I do it starts going very fast in reverse. I switch to drive and hit the gas petal and my tires start spinning in place for a second but the parking lot is tilting me backwards towards a cliff and the sea. (which are obviously not there in real life as I live in Ohio) I lose control of the car and it plummets off the cliff. I suddenly realize that I HAVE to fly. . . or I&#39;ll hit the sea and I REALLY REALLY hate swimming. . . (That post, what would you never do in an LD. . . I said "go swimming".) So just like that I zoom out of the windshield. (At this point I lose my sense of self. I&#39;m still lucid but I don&#39;t really know who I am and things don&#39;t feel "real life" anymore. I&#39;m also watching myself fly from the 3rd person perspective so I didn&#39;t get to know what it felt like). I remember that I&#39;m suppose to do some stuff if I lucid dream again so I look for somewhere to land. I see a beautiful tropical beach with loads of people on it. I land on a little plateau that&#39;s relatively isolated and I try to remember what I&#39;m suppose to do. I remember that I was suppsoe to try to fly and I laugh cause I already did that. Then I remember that I want to try to see my hands. I glance down and they are there. Nothing mishappen about them. Then I&#39;m somehow no longer standing. I had a false awakening but didn&#39;t really go anywhere. I&#39;m lying on the beach in my blankets, naked. I look around me and there are beautiful HUGE red tropical birds. . . They looked like giant Scarlett Maccaws. (I really love birds.) Then they sort of morph into people and a life guard comes up to me and starts asking why I&#39;m sleeping on the beach. He asks if I&#39;m naked and I say no. He reaches under the blanket and touches my leg and I sais, "you are naked." We argue about it for a second then I realize that it&#39;s silly to say I&#39;m not naked when I am so I tell him, "yes I&#39;m naked but it&#39;s ok. . . cause I&#39;m just dreaming." He&#39;s like, "oh ok, that&#39;s fine then" and he starts to walk away. I feel the dream start to slide like I might be about to wake up but I can&#39;t really move cause I&#39;m not wearing any clothes so I figure I&#39;ll go out with a bang. I ask the lifeguard if he&#39;ll have sex with me. He sais, "sorry, I can&#39;t, I&#39;m gay. Didn&#39;t you know?" Then he starts repeating the same word over and over. . . I can&#39;t remember what word it was. . . it started with a C, might have had something to do with an airport . . . had an A sound in the middle and might have ended in a "tion" sound. Then I wake up and realize the reason he was saying that word is cause some jerk was revving his motorcycle in my parking lot right below my window.


TWO LDS IN TWO DAYS&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; Woot&#33; This one was very different from the others. The others felt more real. I was really critical of my surroundings in them. This one felt like I was sort of going with the flow. It felt much more dream like than the other two I&#39;ve had recently. I did get to fly&#33; AND I could see my hands&#33; I also talked to a DC which has never happened before either. I would say that despite some loss of realism, it was a huge success&#33; Only three days left until I can be adopted . . . but 3 LDs in a week? I don&#39;t think I need to be adopted anymore. I&#39;m doing pretty fine on my own.

yes I&#39;m naked but it&#39;s ok. . . cause I&#39;m just dreaming." He&#39;s like, "oh ok, that&#39;s fine then" and he starts to walk away.

I took it to the man who wanted it and the water level was dropping. He looked at the mug which was now almost empty and said, "well that&#39;s no good". . . I said, "I don&#39;t understand. It shouldn&#39;t be evaporating so quickly and I checked the mug for leaks and there weren&#39;t any.

Those two parts in those dreams made me laugh Crazy dream charecters. Hoep you have many more lucids. Glad its seeming to get easier for you. Happy dreaming

Night 15 - 10/16/06 - 4(5) dreams recalled - 1 almost lucid

I&#39;m in my hour awake before going back to bed and I already remember 2 very detailed and vivid dreams.


WARNING&#33; WARNING&#33; Note to self: This dream will make you weepy. Avoid reading it.

#1 - I&#39;m a student and the classes are very hard. They are starting on Christmas day for some reason. One of the teachers is giving a test on the first day and making all his students stay late. Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia from Buffy the V.S.) is so mad about the test that she is going to drop the class. She meets up with me and we leave the school together. We are walking down a path with a boy. I don&#39;t remember who he was. In her anger she starts to rip up posts out of the ground. They are plastic and black. She lifts them up and throws them down. I think she&#39;s being a bit silly and I leave her to it. I go to a little loft/attic where I think I might have lived and Argus Filch (the caretaker of Hogwarts from Harry Potter) is there. He&#39;s vaccuuming around the loft and annoying me by blowing sawdust all over the place. I find my hamster Munchkin&#33; (He died while I was in England over the summer and he was the sweetest cutest little angel of a creature I&#39;ve ever met. I miss him very much.) I put my hamster in his cage and play with him for a moment. He&#39;s being very loving. I give him some sunflower seeds because that is his favorite treat. I had to go find Cordelia again at this point so I left him munching on his little snacks. I found her on the path that leads to my place and she&#39;s laughing. She sais she&#39;s done something funny and I should come take a look. I follow her and she has broken up lots and lots of colored glass and dumped it on the lawn of the school. She has made an enormous mosaic design of a British Stamp. . . but with more pretty colors. It&#39;s very sparkly and beautiful. I&#39;m impressed that she has gone to this length of trouble to get back at the school. Then Argus Filch shows up and destroys her hard work by hosing down the giant stamp. The little bits of glass wash down the hill. They shimmer and sparkle as they go. They are amazingly pretty. I start to walk back to my apartment and I see argus filch emptying his vaccuum into the river. As I approach he sais he vaccuumed out my hamster cage cause it was filthy. I get very upset and asked him if he vaccuumed up my hamster. He sais he doesn&#39;t know and it&#39;s not his problem. I start looking for Munchkin in all the sawdust in the river and I see him trying to swim towards me. I&#39;m very thankful he&#39;s ok. I scoop him up and take him home. I then decide that I have to take him away with me but I don&#39;t think they&#39;ll let me on a plane with him. I try to figure out a way to sneak him on the plane. At one point I consider putting his whole cage in my suitcase. At another point I put him in my sock. I take him out of my sock and put him on the bed. (I think the dream starts to fade at this point cause everything starts going dark.) I tell Munchkin that I know it&#39;s getting dark but that he has to be a good boy and stay where he is or he&#39;ll get lost again. I tell him that it won&#39;t stay dark forever and when the light comes back I&#39;ll find him so I can put him back in his cage and we&#39;ll be together again.

I don&#39;t think I realized till tonight how much I miss that little guy. I went to England for several months and left him in the care of my roommate. He died not long before I came home. This dream was very happy when I had it but now I&#39;m finding it very sad. I&#39;m not usually one for dream interpretation but I think that when I was trying to find a place to keep and hide my hamster it was because I knew that if I left him behind he would die.

#2 - Some people were after me, I&#39;m not sure why. So I hired several body guards to help keep me safe. There was a woman who was a countess. She had a thing for the older body guard. He was very noble. I had a thing for the younger body guard who was a little reckless. We had to go to great lengths to escape from the people that were following us. We rode around on the subway system in Chicago (I&#39;ve never been to Chicago and don&#39;t know if they have a subway. . . I&#39;ve never been on a subway in America.). We would get off one car and then get on another one going the other way, then we&#39;d switch lines. It was very complex. At one point someone didn&#39;t tell me that they called this one particular train "the bullet" for a reason. When the train started moving it moved so fast that I fell into a row of seats. Then we must have been in Cleveland again because we were riding the subway train to my college. The stop was much older and decrepit. It was a creepy dark brick tunnel. There was no one watching the stop at all. There was a stack of old copies of my school&#39;s newspaper behind a wooden counter. There was also an old fashioned photo album and there was a note on the cover that said, "away on vacation. I&#39;ll be back soon." I think this is where my alarm went off.

I don&#39;t think I&#39;m going to be able to concentrate on lucid dreaming tonight but I&#39;m gonna go back to bed and try. I&#39;m really upset right now so I don&#39;t even know if I&#39;ll be able to go back to sleep.


I wasn&#39;t able to go back to sleep. I was just too upset about Munchkin. But I ahd only had 4-5 hours of sleep so I started to feel completely exhaused by noon. I decided to take a little nap. I thought I&#39;d get in an hour, maybe two, of sleep and then I&#39;d be okay for the rest of the day. Unfortunately I didn&#39;t set my alarm and I slept for SEVEN hours. Yuck. So, my sleeping schedule is screwed. I had two more dreams during my nap though.

#3 - I was a crazy, spoiled, rich girl and I decided to lock a homeless man up in my bedroom closet. My brother (I don&#39;t really have one of those) became suspicious of what I was up to and broke into my bedroom. He found the locked closet and heard the guy in there so he climbed out the window along the window ledge and then into the closet window and set him free.

#4 - I was walking up a staircase with my roommate Jyl. We were on our way to therapy. I turned around and looked down the stairs and my ex (the evil one) was standing there. I jumped back two steps when I saw him then I said, "Hi John." (That isn&#39;t his name so I&#39;m not sure why I called him that. I think I was trying to play it cool, like I couldn&#39;t really remember who he was.) He said, "Hi Lucy," like we were sharing some kind of private joke. I said, "oh shut up," and flung myself into his arms and hugged him. We left the therapy building and walked around the city. It wasn&#39;t an American city. I&#39;m not sure where we were. We walked and talked and I was almost hit by a car.

I&#39;m usually really upset when I wake up from a dream with my ex in it but this one wasn&#39;t so bad. We weren&#39;t making out or anything, just talking. I had another dream after this one that I can&#39;t really remember. HE was definitely in it and I have a sense that I was really happy in the dream. There was also some point in this dream where I knew I was dreaming but in a vague and unfocused sort of way. I don&#39;t think I was lucid.

MY BOYFRIEND, WHO PROMISED HE WOULDN&#39;T LOOK AT MY DREAM JOURNAL OR TRY TO FIND THIS MESSAGE BOARD, DID. I&#39;M A LITTLE IRKED.

Night 16 - 10/17/06 - 1 dream recalled - not lucid

I wasn&#39;t really trying to LD last night. I didn&#39;t WBTB cause I&#39;ve got my sleeping schedule all messed up. If I can manage to fall asleep at a semi-normal time tonight then I&#39;ll start trying again.

#1 - I was shopping with my sister at kmart. I was pushing the cart and she kept running ahead. This box of pasta kept falling onto the floor and spilling everywhere. I kept having to go back for it and scoop all the broken pieces back into the box. We bought a whole bunch of stuff, including some fancy ball gowns and a blanket (the blanket is interesting cause I was thinking about buying a new comforter as I fell asleep. There&#39;s a hole in mine and the stuffing is poking out.) We ended up at home with all our shopping and a guy was there. We both liked him. We tried on our dresses but they were the wrong size and we were very upset. I remember going through the bags thinking that there was something in them that I needed but I couldn&#39;t find it and the room was too dark to see anything properly.

I&#39;m back&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

My internet went whacky and stopped working just before the weekend. It turns out that 30,000 Time Warner customers in my area also had this problem but it has now been fixed. Woo Hoo&#33;

Two things interupted my LD progress while my internet was broken. #1 - my sleeping schedule was all messed up and #2 - I was having trouble sleeping because of some pain I was experiencing. So until last night I wasn&#39;t trying to LD at all. I have managed to get my schedule back in place thankfully and last night was going to be my first night resuming my WBTB sleeping schedule. Both fortunately and unfortunately I was so tired when I went to bed I accidently set my alarm for 4 PM instead of 4 AM. . . SO. . . I didn&#39;t wake up until just after 6. BUT I woke up cause I had a lucid dream so I&#39;m not too dissappointed. I&#39;m gonna start my journal up again as though I didn&#39;t miss any days.

Night 17 - 10/23/06 - recalled 1 dream - lucid

#1 - I was visiting Ed in England. He had just moved into his new apartment which for some reason was in an airport. (It also looked like his dorm room in JMH and not like his actual apartment) I went shopping in the airport and when I came back a bunch of his friends were loitering around. They were laughing cause one of them had managed to steal the "good" apartment away from him and his apartment wasn&#39;t on the ground floor anymore. I also had a bike. . . (I think this is cause Ed told me the other day that he recently bought a bike and I can&#39;t wait to ride it. I haven&#39;t ridden a bike since I was 14.) I went up an elevator into his room. He was sitting on the ground on some pillows trying to fix something on his laptop. I sat down on his bed and called the weather. They said the time was 8:08. I looked at the clock on Ed&#39;s laptop and it said 4:53. I told Ed that the weather had said it was 8:08 and that his laptop&#39;s clock must be wrong. Then when I looked back at his clock it also said 8:08. I said, "Is it 8 already? It doesn&#39;t feel like it. I must be dreaming." Then I laughed. I did an RC as a joke. . . and I was dreaming. This REALLY surprised me. I&#39;ve never done an RC in a dream where I didn&#39;t already KNOW it was a dream. I usually just do the RC to help me reach full lucidity. I laughed. Then I looked at Ed. . . and jumped him. There was some kissing and undressing that I don&#39;t feel I need to go into detail about. Then I said a couple very naughty things to him and he said, "shhh. I don&#39;t want my new body guard to hear you." I said, "The body guard can&#39;t hear me this is a dream." And I woke up.



Very embarrassing. This one was very realistic. I think I&#39;m gonna stay away from trying to have naughty dream sex for awhile. . . at least until I get better at LDing. It seems the excitement of lucidity coupled with um . . . some more excitement causes me to wake up. Ed will be pleased though. My first and only LD makeout session was with him.

This was my first non-WBTB DILD. It&#39;s especially exciting because all my other lucids of the past 3 weeks have been after spending most of the day thinking about lucid dreaming and posting in this forum. I thought I might be kind of forcing them by spending so much time here but that as soon as I started doing other things I would stop having them. I&#39;m also very excited that I did an RC in a dream before I knew I was dreaming.

Today marks exactly 3 weeks since I started trying to have lucid dreams. I&#39;m making really good progress. I wonder how I&#39;ll be doing in 6 months.

Okay, odd, I don&#39;t know how this happened. I went to sleep Monday night / Tuesday morning at 2:00 am. I woke up at 7:30 for a WBTB. I went back to sleep somewhere around 10:00 am thinking I&#39;d wake up between noon and 1. . . I woke up at 2:00 am on Wednessday morning. I somehow slept 16 hours after already sleeping 5 hours. This just doesn&#39;t make any sense. I don&#39;t understand how it could have happened. Sleeping 16 hours in one shot??? That&#39;s just weird. . . but sleeping 21 out of 24 hours???? It doesn&#39;t make any sense. I&#39;m not sick. I&#39;m not taking any medication. . . Why would this have happened? I&#39;ve been getting plenty of sleep. I somehow lost an entire day. I feel really weird now too. Tired and dissoriented. I&#39;m not sure what this was or how it happened but if it happens again I&#39;m gonna go to a doctor.

On another note, my dreaming has been getting weirder lately. I didn&#39;t want to say anything until I was sure but after last night (or yesterday if you will), I&#39;m sure. I know I&#39;m dreaming in every dream I have. They aren&#39;t lucid dreams because I&#39;m not fully aware but I know they are dreams while I&#39;m having them. In most of them, I&#39;m actively controlling aspects of them. It&#39;s not in a concious way though. I just know things before they happen, or I expect a certain outcome and it happens. Sometimes when I expect something to work my way and it doesn&#39;t I just continue in the dream as though it HAD happened my way until my mind changes it to the way I wanted it to be. When these things happen I do know I&#39;m dreaming but I&#39;m not really lucid because while I know I&#39;m dreaming, I still accept everything around me as real. I&#39;m not sure, but I think I&#39;ve always dreamt like this. Before I started actively trying to remember my dreams, I didn&#39;t remember as many. The ones I did remember were usually pretty vague because I had forgotten the details since I never wrote my dreams down. The dreams I can remember from before I started trying to lucid dream though show the same pattern of awareness. Maybe this is common. Maybe this is the way everyone dreams. How would I know? I&#39;m not anyone but me.

Night 18 - 10/25/06 - 6 dreams recalled - none lucid

Half of my dreams featured a kidnapping. I&#39;m not sure why.

I almost WILDed. . . I was falling asleep and I nodded off then realized I&#39;d slipped into dreaming. The dream stopped as soon as I realized I was dreaming but then there were these images. They looked like photographs. . . but in two tone sepia. . . they were sort of drifting across my vision. Very strange. After perhaps 4 photos I was awake again. I&#39;ve noticed an odd sensation when I try to WILD. I go from being awake to drifting off and imagining little scenarios, then suddenly there&#39;s a sensation like fluid pouring over me, or a ripple going through my body, it&#39;s a really pleasant feeling. . . almost like a drug. . . and my visualization goes away and I&#39;m fully awake again.

#1 - A woman had been kidnapped and I was a cop trying to solve the case. Then she turned up as a reporter asking questions about the kidnapping.

#2 - There was a club of people who lucid dreamed. We were all dreaming and we were alowd to choose whether or not to become lucid. They held meetings in a warehouse type building.

#3 - There was a robot girl. She was kidnapped.

#4 - There was some kind of cyber sex night club. I was the 3rd one in a line for something. . . I&#39;m not sure what.

#5 - I was hiding. . . in the forest? perhaps . . . I think someone was trying to kill me. I had been chosen for something.

#6 - I was Harry Potter. I think someone had been kidnapped. I knew I had to get Dobby and Kreature to help me find them. It was the only way. We were in a haunted mansion from a video game I play. I really hate the haunted mansion part of that video game. It scares the crap out of me. I went to their room but they weren&#39;t in their beds. Dobby&#39;s bed looked like a twin version of my bed. . . the blanket looked and felt the same as mine. I laid my face on it and I woke up.

It&#39;s possible some of the bits I remember from these different dreams go together. . . for instance the robot girl kidnapping could have been part of the harry potter dream . . . I just can&#39;t remember. The cyber sex one could have gone with the lucid dreaming one. . . but I&#39;m not sure. . . so I made them all seperate. I don&#39;t really remember any of them except the first one and the last one. . . the others were just scribbled notes in my dream journal that I barely remember writing.

Night 19 - 10/26/06 - recalled 1 dream - not lucid

#1 - I was looking for pearls in oysters. I found one but it was an ugly little gray slimy ball. Yuck.

Night 20 - 10/27/06 - eh?

I can recall several dreams, all of which were of me playing Kate in the show lost. It&#39;s difficult to pick out what actually happened in the dreams and what I&#39;ve seen on the show and just thought I remembered.



Both these nights I meant to do the WBTB thing but after waking up, I was so tired, I went straight back to sleep and didn&#39;t get any lucid dreams. I&#39;m gonna make sure I get up for the full hour tonight though&#33; I&#39;m glad the site&#39;s back up and running.

It&#39;s hard to work out what happens in the show, thats probably why you couldn&#39;t work out what happened in the dream

lol I can&#39;t wait to see where they&#39;re going with all of it.


Night 21 - 10/28/06 - 1 dream - almost lucid

#1 - An old woman gave me &#036;30,000. I put the money in my date planner in my car. A man with very pretty hair, got into my date planner and stole the money. I chased after him and he ended up in a bar. I threatened him a bit but he just sat there. I called the police and the dispatcher didn&#39;t want to send anyone at first but I made him. He left the bar and I followed him. I was driving in a car with a woman sitting next to me in the backseat and a man in the front seat driving. The theif was walking down the street. A little ways down the street there was a woman lying dead on the side of the road. Then I saw a man with a gun and a knife. He was stabbing random pedestrians and then shooting others. He killed the theif. As we drove by I ducked down and he started shooting. I was shot at an odd angle in my back. I put my hand back to feel the wound and when I looked at my hand there was blood on it. I realized the man was acting out a video game called "Anhedonia" . . . Anhedonia is actually a psychological symptom similar to depression. Very odd dream. Very long and very vivid. I realized I was dreaming after I looked at my bloody hand and immediately woke up.

Wow... this is fascinating... did you know what Anhedonia was before you had this dream? I&#39;m assuming you did...?
