To_ban_dreams(by Lord_of_fire)

[Lord_of_fire]

Hello all, I'm a 16 year old belgian (dutch) dreamer (sience student) and this is my journal. I started an epic battle to reduce what i call waste of time. For as long as we exist people have been searching for ways to live longer and have more time on this bowlingball we call earth and beyond,... In modern society people are so bussy they don't have time after their work, school, kids to have some sparetime. Well I found something what i think (and still think to be) one of the greatest possible wastes of time, yes SLEEP. Because when we sleep the clock turns so fast and when we wake up a new day of missery rises (yes I'm a very romantic soal). So I began to find ways to ban sleep forever. I studied the importance for the physical health very replacable. So I worked out systems to stop sleeping and with succes because i managed to live healthy and feeling awake during classes with the avarage of 2 hours of sleep a day! (no i didnt use drugs, i even hate coffee ) But than the problems began i became very depressive and even nearly panaroid. So I started to study the mental importance of sleep. And in that research i hitted this site and several others on the importance of dreams. And decided to give it a try for sience sake. Let's start to find lucids and learn an activity that we might be able to do while sleeping! And yes I dont see it as something i will be doing the rest of my live, It's rather a fase to ban sleep and thereby dreaming. because dreaming as far as I see only is way of your mind cheating on itself. I know you guys have believe in the lucid stuff and i accept, and respect it, but this are my goals. And now enough bullshit let's start the show!

This is my first night and here my results: had 3 different dreams and 1 really pure recall (it was kinda lucid) first one was a supcomdream (from the game supreme commander :yumdumdoodledum: ) about the placement of anti-air and the airrush and commander assassinations technique. I woke up with an alarm wrote it down (T2 gunships (says more than a thousend words)&#33 then I went back to sleep and got a lucid,... I was in my room and i have a window wich has an overview of the garden and some bushes. When I watched outside I saw a dark figure crawling outside. It was dark and i tried to turn on my bedside light, but it didn't work in panic i tried another light and it didn't work either and then it happened! I thought hey this is a dreamsign! haha this is a dream in wich my mind is playing tricks on me! Now lets have my revenge and play some tricks on my mind! So i jumped down the stairs ( a bit uncertain and thinking ( what the fuck am i doing, am i sure it is a dream). And yes i fell very slow and by wonder on my feet. My sister and mother were downstairs. I tried to say some things against them and see how they (my mind) would react, they were very distract and not interested. I tried some other stuff 2 (insulting, thinking of a person i like very much (but without result )). So i decided to start explaining my mother how i knew this was a dream strangely enough i somehow forgot she was a dream 2 . And even showed my stairjump again and then i woke up from my 2d alarm. wrote it down in detail and slept again. Now i had a strange school dream of wich i remember not so very much, but who cares about school heh. Not a bad first day lets check out what this night has to offer. feeling: proud to have a dream cought with his fingers in the box with coocky's.

Anyways, I can tell you are a searcher and have a very active mind and energy...Im sure you will have some very interesting experiences. I find your goals interesting...although I am of the persuation dreams are wonderful gifts (I have had lucids since I was very young....some of my first memories are dreams), and I love to sleep and dream. I believe that inner-fire you posses will serve you well here! Welcome and Hello! -J (ps- I just graduated with a bio degree, what science are you hoping to pursue??)

Last night I had three dream recalls. But not even one of them was somehow clear. -again a supcom dream (use of interceptors in airdefenses), man i should really play this game less,... -I was in some kind of a park with rollercoaster’s and lots of water everywhere. The attractions weren’t secure and got crazy heights. -I took the bus (forgot why) and asked the bus driver for a free ticket because I just had to drive a few blocks (that’s also free in real live (busdrivers hate when you ask ). Nah it wasn't really my night, and yes i know and realize that i was pretty lucky last night And as a child i was really into this dreaming stuff. Had ways to wake up at will in nightmares ect,... I had even a figure wich always returned i called it Lord_of_nightmares. And now maybe we will meet again (already look forward to kick his ass,... ) I will prob pursue biology because my dad teaches that at the Antwerp university (AU), in all case i still have to make my mind up.

Wow, congratulations on your lucid, and good luck with the righteous ass-kicking. One of my first lucids occured after I resolved to confront a terrifying recurring DC. I'm still proud of that dream. Bus drivers and people in subways can be such jerks in dreams. Weird experiences in public transportation are one of my dreamsigns, but it might not work for you if bus rides are unpleasant in real life, too!
