Well hello people, I decided to start a DJ here, for what reason I do not know, considering I won't be able to post in it after the 10th of next month, but here I will give you my dreams and the process i went about trying to be lucid. So here's the code for you readers so my DJ can be more comprehensive and organized. Black=Explanation/background info blue=nonlucid/normal dreams Red=Comments on dreams, so i can avoid confusing eyesores like parenthes when possible Green=everybody's favorite, Lucid dreams Ok let's get started...

Well last night i read an excellent tutorial on doing wild so I decided to try it out. It seems my most commonly successful technique is WILD so it seems like something I should stick with, plus I hear it is the most reliable, although most challenging to master...WILD along with autosuggestion seems to work well for me. Anyways I was WILDing last night when to my frustration I kept losing focus. I woke up around 2:30 A.M and began my WILD, it was too early, but I still gave it a try, but I fell asleep losing focus and had a semi-interesting ND: TV Show Host I find myself at some kind of TV studio of some kind. Me and two other guys decide they want to host a show, in which we will discuss issues and hot topics in the "black community" I am a little hesitant because none of us are actually black, and it seems strange for three white guys to host a show about "black issues" but oh well I go with it, what the heck. So we are at a beach where people (mostly black people) are swimming and lying out in the sun, and we have to clear the area. Most people leave willingly but I have to pick up one, still lying on his towel and throw him across the beach. He gets up and yells at me , obviously angry, but I tell him he should have known we were clearing the area and left before if he didn't want to be thrown. Finally the place is cleared and I help build and decorate the set, it looks like making a house in the video game The Sims. I finish the set very satisfied with the lay out. We host the show successfully and with a good turn out, we have a full studio audience. Peter Griffin, from the Family Guy is there, and keeps referring to our security guard as his cousin to get a free ticket in. Eventually as were hosting the show, I wake up... I fall asleep again wake up around 5:00 A.M, I try to WILD but I feel kind of drowsy so I get up and wake myself up again, I try to WILD again not sure I'll ever fall back sleep. I lose focus, as seems to be a problem, but to my pleasant surprise I fall asleep fully aware that I'm falling asleep and find my self in the following dream: Lucid Fragment: TV Room I am surrounded by blackness as often happens with WILD dreams, and I see myself as a blue blob, I think it was blue, anyway as I'm falling asleep I don't want to disturb the process with too much willpower to keep knowing I'm asleep, so I remind myself a few times gently to do a reality check in my dream. Practicing a common technique I began to spin around the yellow blob in front of me, and then everything was completely black. Rememembering another more recently learned technique I tried to open my "dream eyes", not my real eyes, but my dream eyes. To my delight I was in a dream. I find myself in the second floor TV Room in my house. My sister is sitting on the couch quietly. I lose all lucidity and totally forget it was a dream, unsure of how how I got here. Then somehow I remember my intention to do a reality check, so I plug my nose and I can breathe easily. I'm dreaming, I almost forgot! This by the way, in all my lucid and normal dreams, is the first time I've ever done a reality check in a dream. So I try to walk out the door and go off searching for my "spirit guide" unfortunately I forgot I was supposed to look for him/her in a specific place, and couldn't remember what it was, so the door led to yet more blackness, and I woke up...

Well yesterday was a good day. First I went to the tutorials section and used the "hypnosis" technique there sometime during the day, not sure if that had anything to do with it or not, but then that night I went to sleep. I was going to try to repeat the technique just to reinforce it, but the melatonin was doing its job so I was too tired and just lied down and went to sleep I woke up around 2:00 in the morning, it was a little earlier than necessary for WILD but I thought maybe I'd try it anyway, but then I said "I'm too tired, screw this, I'm gonna do autosuggestion, it's much easier" so there I was doing autosuggestion "I"m going to have a lucid dream tonight. Lucid dreaming is easy...yadda yadda, I believe, blah blah blah!" I notice the autosuggestion technique can sometimes be like waking life when we lie to ourselves and say everything's ok, it always give false hope No but seriously, it has worked for me two or three times. Anyways I fell asleep and had a dream, but it was normal Demons and Angels I am in a tower overlooking a ruined, ancient city. Angels and demons are flying all over the place fighting each other My big sister is there and she tells me that I have a choice, I can become an angel or a demon and lead which ever side to victory I choose. For some reason the scenarior reminds of the game baldur's gate, I don't know why, I choose the demons interestingly I notice that the demons do not have wings, though the angels do, but instead they fly by means of standing on a black cloud upheld by a mighty a wirlwind. I rush into the battle on my cloud, pitchfork in hand, and I wake up I wake up in bed around 4:00 A.M, twenty minutes pass and I contemplate on whether or not to try WILD nw that the time has come, it's now or never. Ok Never... But then I change my mind and get out of bed to go to the bathroom, and lie back down. i begin wild by practicing a relaxation technique, and fall asleep No dream recall! I look at the clock and it is 6:00 A.M. I reason I still have a reasonable chance of doing a wild so I go to the bathroom again (because my nose is bleeding, ugh&#33 and lie back down with my head tilted back and relax despite my bloody nose. Then suddenly I remember my internship in NYC is coming up so I get all crazy nervous and can't concentrate. I also know my brothers will wake up soon, and when they wake up there is no falling back asleep. But once again I have a pleasant surprise...a dream. Some background on this first:recently I have made it my biggest goal to find my "Spirit Guide" I started by trying to incubate dreams where I would specifically meet him in a forest at a cabin, this failed, so I tried to find a DC in the city to take me to him, this failed. But one night I had two DC's approach me that I thought might be my spirit guide. One was a middle-aged professional looking black woman, she actually came to me during the HI stage and said I was supposed to meet her in a dream so she could make me lucid, I thought she might be my guide. But then when I fell asleep that same night and in an ND I met an old wizard dressed in purple robes. He was in the same city as the woman, and took me to a deep underground place, and offered to teach me the ways of lucid dreaming...maybe he's my guide, I thought. So I wasn't sure which one was my guide, then I thought maybe both, but that's a whole 'nother topic. Here's what happened next: Spirit Guide To my delight I feel myself falling asleep. I am sinking to the blackened abyss of my slumber and simply try to relax myself and keep my focus so I don't wake up. I gently try to move my arm to confirm I'm really asleep, since I couldn't I knew SP was in place so my sleep was secure. I struggle subtly to open my "Dream eyes" surrounded again by blackness. I find myself in a primitive, run-down city. I can barely see it, everything is so blurry. I can barely see anything other than a blur of dull colors, it's as if I need glasses...hmmm that gives me an idea what if I used dream glasses to improve visuals in my lucid dreams? I'll log that one away somewhere... Anyway I of course am fully lucid and know my goal, I simply voice out loud my intent to meet my spirit guide. After failing to do this in so many dreams I was happily surprised to find that it worked, it was so simple. I am on a moving bus now, I can barely see the old wizard but somehow I sense his presence. i don't want to miss this oppurtnity by waking up so first I ask him to make me "More asleep" I get that same sinking feeling I often get when I fall asleep, and it truly feels somehow that I am going deeper into the dream. Then I tell him I need him to remind me every night that I am dreaming so I can be lucid, somehow I feel him acknowledging the command, let's see if he follows through with that one , then I ask him to make the dream more vivid. Again he acknowledges the command and the dream becomes MUCH more vivid. My vision is still blurry but I do see things more clearly, and now i can hear the roar of the bus's engine perfectly, I had the exhilerating sensation that I was really there on the bus, and even more amazing where before my words were just thoughts, I could now hear my voice crystal clear as I shouted "Yes! Yes! Yes!" as excitement overwhelmed me. Then i woke up...

Dream Guide These are two picture I made with photopaint, one is touched up and one is not, both are pretty crappy as I am not an artist but I was inspired to make this picture based on what my dream guide looked like last night, they hardly do him justice, but tell me which one you think is better, because i'm not sure if touching it up with the effects helped or not, and I wonder if I shouldn't have kept the cartoony-looking one as it was originally...

I am very congested and when I lie down in bed I can barely breathe, on top of that I have a lont on my mind this week, so I was kind of distracted the last two nights and didn't really have much success with lucidity, but oh well, here is the only dream I remember from last night: Talking Skeleton(fragment) I am in a very dark room when a skeleton comes up to me and starts talking to me. "You could have eternal..." life he says, along with all kinds of other promises, the thing freaks me out but I keep listening. "All you have to do is sin! For through sin you can obtain the desires of your heart... And I wake up edit: comments are welcome by the way...

Well this morning I was very disappointed. I had no lucids, and no dream recall since my last dream. I woke up and admonished myself for not practicing WILD as I planned to because I slept all night and didn't even seem to wake up once. But to my very pleasant surprise I fell asleep again, around 7:30-8:00 Headphones and Lucid B-Ball I am in a strange store, designed much like a cabin lodge in a forest resort. I am looking around when suddenly I spot a beautiful pair of headphones. The rims are made from smooth and beautifully painted wood. They fit perfectly to my head and ears, the sound that comes from them is crystal clear and perfect. I wish I could have these headphones but i know I didn't bring any money. but then suddenly my brain tells me, "You don't need money, this is just a dream, just take them escape to another scene" So I pick up the headphones, now lucid, and I envision a portal, which forms on the wall before me, and I walk through it and make my escape I have a false awakening and I am in bed. I think how cool it would be if I could take stuff like that with me from the dreamworld, and imagine all the free stuff I could get. Then I am surprised when I find the exact pair of headphones under my pillow. This is amazing, but then I realize, wait that was a dream, these can't be real, I'm still dreaming. At this point my dream guide shows up again. I can't see him at all but I can sense his presence somehow. Glad to see him again, I ask him his name. "Loktar!" he responds. I think this can't be right, it's a rather odd name. I ask him if that's really his name or if i just made that up in my mind, he doesn't answer. His silence says it all; his name is Loktar. After this I decide I want to brush up on some athletic skills so I ask him to take me to a basketball court. I find myself in a basketball court by what looks like my house (but at second glance doesn’t look like it at all) I play basketball for awhile, shooting, dunking, and practicing my jumping skills. But then I realize if I’m ever going to get better at the game I’ll have to be able to play against people. So I try to call out dream characters to play against me. Some of my brothers and sisters come out, but they say they don’t feel like playing, except my sister who says she wants to play, and my little brother who says he does want to play but refuses to play with my sister. So it’s down to me and my sister, but then she walks away, bored before we start. So I try to get some guys I know from church to play with me, but just as they appear on the court, I awake.
