      Is that the one about the farmer from Kansas (or thereabouts) and he spends the rest of his life there? That was a great show!

      I thought you might like that one. I could go for some pancakes right about now.

      Sounds awesome. I still don't have any success with WILDs. There was the one with the keyboard, but it was followed by the dumbest FA ever...(stupid! stupid! STUPID! ). Oh well. I still have plenty of practicing and my RC's are coming along well. Keep up the good work Care Bear (lol. That's definitely your nickname now) and good luck with future dreams.
      It can take a while getting used to slipping into that HI state, just keep practicing.

      Thanks, yeah that was so strange. You know wasn't even really thinking about how weird it looked at the time.

      That makes me think of another question though. When I try to WILD, the "asleep when head hits pillow" doesn't apply anymore. There is a short period where I have to fight my thoughts straying, but then my thoughts are free and clear of any distractions - I only focus on my breathing and counting the numbers, but no longer can I fall asleep. I feel wide awake until that 1.5 - 2 hours have passed. Any idea why this might be?
      that's strange, It's the opposite for me.

      Maybe if you tried VILDing, it would work better for you. The first time I ever did a VILD I was just a kid trying to overcome insomnia. Counting stopped working, because my mind got good at wandering and counting at the same time.

      So I started visualizing That I was sitting at a table drawing numbers in a notebook with a marker. You can imagine my surprise, when I suddenly found myself actually sitting at the table, no longer pretending. You could try visualizing doing just about anything.

      Cool, I saw that once a long time ago, while channel surfing late at night. I loved it. I'm glad you told me what it was called, because I've wanted to get that on DVD every since. But I didn't know what the name of it was.

      That's the one where he builds the cabin with simple hand tools right? And he gets it done just in time for winter? I wish I had the guts to do something like that. But I wouldn't want to live there through the winters. That would suck.

      that's probably the same one.
      I think he stayed there until he got to old to handle the cold. Like 30 years or something. then they helicoptered him out.

      That must have been horrible for him, leaving that place after all that time, knowing he wouldn't be going back.

      had A ton of dreams last night, but I can only remember a little bit of each one. Thought about Lucid dreaming a couple times, but still no good Lucids.

      Just going to post this wild attempt for now, I'll write some more dreams tonight. Maybe I'll have something better after a nap later.

      Yesterdays Wild attempt
      I hear somebody say,"come here a second." Then I start fading in and out of this scene, where I'm watching people carrying box's of stuff. Like they are either moving in, or moving out of somewhere.

      I then enter a scene where I'm standing there holding two small buckets. One in each hand. I look around. desperate to stay in the dream, I'm trying to will myself to stay there. I actually think about grabbing onto something to hold me in the dream lol.
      Then I start banging the two buckets together, just to do something. It kind of works, I'm not slipping out of it yet. But the longer I stay in it, the more excited I get. And I eventually lose it.

      Need to remember to rub hands together, and stay calm.

      Tried to wild this morning after a WBTB. But it was hard, I kept entering scenes to quickly, and without Lucidity.

      Nice. It seems like you're getting much better at WILDs. Keep trying man. You'll get it.

      I've used it a few times. It works pretty well. I like the time I used an object to excuse my vision fading and surely enough there was something blocking my eyes. One lucid ended so abruptly, I didn't have the chance to rub my hands together .

      My mind jumps whenever I start getting HI so I just get flashes before abruptly waking. I think I should try meditation for a bit.

      Yea, that's it. It's fun to watch someone do it and think about it. It made me nervous everytime he like cut a door or window in the cabin when he was building it; I was like "Nooo...you'll screw it up!" but he never did. I was just thinking what would happen if I tried something like that. Whoops, wrong log! Gotta start all over! He ws very talented.

      I know; the ending is sad. The story was amazing tho. Much different than Treadwell's insanity.

      Yeah, lol. Like some force was about to pull me out of the dream, and I could hang on to something to keep from being pulled out of it.

      Yeah it probably will. I've been doning all the right things, it just takes a little time to get going. Usually when I start dreaming of Lucid Dreaming, Lucidity isn't to far behind.

      I've tried it twice now. The second time it worked, but I had a false awakening and got all confused.

      You should experiment with different things. Some things are just naturally easier to picture in you mind.

      LOl, yeah I wouldn't be able to build a cabin like that. It would be pretty hard.

      That's for sure, Treadwell couldn't even figure out how to put up his tent when he first went out there. And he had a cheap K-mart tent. And his sleeping bag was a kids size, that he found out he couldn't even fit into.

      Fragment
      In a hurry trying to get into an apartment. Stressed out because something is after me or something. I don't remember what or why. Can't get in because my key won't work.

      Superman kid
      I see this Teenage kid, I'm not sure why, but I suddenly think he is Superman. I ask him if he is the real Superman. He acts like he doesn't want to say. Next thing I know, he has me by the foot and is flying me up the side of this tall building. he is holding me in the air above him, with one hand. I'm kind of freaked out afraid to fall. I'm just looking at the side of the building as we rise higher. Eventually we get to the roof. We just sit up there talking. I tell him about how much I wish I could fly, And that I am able to do it in Lucid Dreams.

      There are some strange images related to this dream about being in a room with a group of other people that have Superpowers. Somebody had been injecting them with something to suppress there powers, because they were dangerous. It was kind of a heroes related dream. There was a kid that was in danger of causing the world to explode, if his power got out of control.

      ?
      I'm in some warehouse building. Nobody else is around, it's a little dark and I start driving around the place in some strange cart thing. I eventually run into some people that work there, and I get into trouble for being there.

      Smoking
      I'm with my nephew in a car. We get pulled over by the police. The police search us and find pot on my nephew, along with a pot pipe. The cop loads a bowl, and takes a big hit. He then hands it to me. I tell him I have not smoked the stuff in many years. But I decide to smoke a little now. After smoking some, I now want a cigarette as well. So I go looking for one.

      Probably the closest I've come to noticing the smoking dreamsign. Because I was thinking about the fact that I don't smoke anymore the whole time.


      Fragment
      Something about being in some underground theater of some kind. And it being the end of the world.

      Sex dream
      A rare but fun sex dream. I don't know who she was, or what lead up to it though.

      The cabin
      I'm packing up getting ready to go to the cabin. Not much else to say about it really.
      I have a new note book to use as a journal, And I'm looking forward to having some Lucid Dreams at the cabin, and writing them in the Notebook. There is somebody else there that starts talking about dirt biking.

      Hockey game
      I'm at a hockey game, and somebody there is skating around the ice wearing these tennis shoes that have wheels on the bottom of them. Like I see some kids wearing.

      There were more dreams that I lost. I kept forgetting to take notes when I woke up. Didn't remember anything in my nap. Even forgot the WILD stuff. Which wasn't much, but I remember there was something.

      yeah it was a little scary because I was afraid of the heights. But after that it was cool, nearly got Lucid I think.

      I think this will be the fourth summer.
      It's not a log cabin, but I'm not going to complain. It's pretty small, but it has like a three season porch, and a small deck that's covered so I can sit out there with a book even when it's raining. Which is pretty relaxing. And a wood burning stove type fire place. At the moment it's the only source of heat. But it gives off a lot of heat. It really warms the place up quick.

      I really like the location. It's completely surrounded by forest, and over looks a large beaver pond. I spent a lot of time and hard work cutting trails through the woods by hand. Using a hedge clipper, machete, and a pick axe to dig up roots. Still have more work to do with that. It's well worth it though. It's like I have my own little nature park now, that's easy to walk through.

      thats just great! it sounds so nice, peaceful too. We dont really have anything like that over here which is a shame, you know the ore I hear about America the more I wanna see it lol

      I like the idea of a wood burning stove, I knew some one once in Scotland who had one and they really do kick out alot of heat. I bet it is lovely in the summer just chilling out on your porch

      Dog at the neighbors
      I'm at home getting ready to fall asleep when I notice that my dog isn't there. Somehow I know that she is at the neighbors house. It seems normal at first but the more I think about it, it just doesn't seem right. I get the idea that the neighbor is trying to steel my dog. So I go over there, and take her back.

      Zombie attack
      I'm in a house with a group of people, we have barricaded ourselves in, because the world is over run by zombies. Though our house isn't very secure at all, and we are working at improving it. A zombie woman comes out of nowhere and attacks me. I guess she was in the house unnoticed until this point. I grab her head and twist it really hard, and her neck snaps. She falls to the floor, not dead, but unable to get up anymore. I'm amazed I was actually strong enough to break her neck.

      I find this closet, that has a room that you can get to, by climbing the shelves and entering through the ceiling. I tell my friends, that if the worst comes to worst we can climb up there, and the zombies won't be able to get us. Even though we would probably starve to death up there with no way out. One of my friends tells me not to worry because we will be alright. But I notice that there is an open door, and a zombie is coming to it. I run to the door trying to close it before the zombie can enter, but I don't make it. And ore zombies are coming in from other various places. They have found us out and are on the attack.

      The zombies have weapons now too. Most of them are carrying crowbars, and their faster and stronger than they were before. I manage to snap the necks of a couple more of them. But I'm helpless as we become over run, and my friends are being killed off one by one, Until I'm the last person alive.

      I make a run for the closet, and begin to climb up into the room, but the zombies are quick on my heels. As I climb up, they are grabbing at my legs trying to pull me down.
      I wake up.

      I had a lot more dreams that I can only remember a little bit of. There was one where I was on a hill and it was very windy. I was going to use the wind to try and fly. I remember leaning into the wind a little bit. But I don't remember much else.

      I had a couple other fun dreams that I lost when I woke up. I just remember they were fun. and vivid.

      Todays WILD attempt
      I tried to WILD several times last night, without a lot of luck. I kept falling asleep to fast. But I managed a little bit.

      The first time I get anything, I hear a very loud knock, like somebody pounding on the wall really hard. It startles me, and I sit up thinking it was real. But since dog isn't barking or woken up, I know it was just in my head.


      Later, after another WBTB. In the blackness of my mind, I reach up and pull the corner of the blackness away, like it's some kind of thin cover over the dream scene.
      After part of the blackness is pulled back, I can see the dream clearly on the other side. I'm fully Lucid, and wondering what I can do to keep from waking up. I think maybe if I just slowly expose the scene, so I pull the blackness away a little more, and it kind of rolls down. That's when I remember I wanted to try rubbing my hands
      together. I begin to do that, but I wake up before my hands actually come together.

      I may have more to post later.

      I like the idea of a wood burning stove, I knew some one once in Scotland who had one and they really do kick out alot of heat. I bet it is lovely in the summer just chilling out on your porch
      Yeah, you should take a trip here sometime. There are a lot of beautiful places to see.

      That's cool. Too bad you forgot the WILD from yesterday--but you are having them all the time now.

      Ah, you really take good care of her. You're always so worried about her in your dreams.

      Zombie attack
      I'm in a house with a group of people, we have barricaded ourselves in, because the world is over run by zombies. Though our house isn't very secure at all, and we are working at improving it. A zombie woman comes out of nowhere and attacks me. I guess she was in the house unnoticed until this point. I grab her head and twist it really hard, and her neck snaps. She falls to the floor, not dead, but unable to get up anymore. I'm amazed I was actually strong enough to break her neck.

      Ow, yuck, what a scary dream!
      Sounds very much like 'I am Legend'.
      I hate zombies!
      I'd rather read your dreams about attacking animals than attacking zombies

      Good to see you're making progress on the WILDs. I don't have enough patience for them. They happened to me spontaneously when I was sleeping polyphasic, but haven't had any since I quit.
      I think touching things really works for stabilising the dream. And feeling objects usually works better for me than rubbing my hands (they feel odd in a dream)

      Nice WILD! Bah, that's farther than I've ever gotten with a WILD. I think my problem is I just get too excited.

      BTW, I love your sig pic.

      I'm So excited right now. Two Lucids for today. One a Short WILD last night.
      And I just did a WILD in my nap, that turned into a false awakening, that became a DILD, because I did a reality check after thinking I woke up.

      OK just had to say that. replying to comments right now.

      Thanks. I've been extra motivated lately to work on staying aware as I fall asleep. And one of my goals for this year was to take my WILD attempts more seriously, in hopes of getting better at it.

      Thanks Pancaka, Though I'm no pro yet. I still have a lot to learn.

      Well, I induced my first DILD sometime in the 80's, after the movie Dreamscape got me all excited and determined to know that I was dreaming.

      But my first WILD attempts took place all the way back in kindergarten sometime. When I got curious about the process of falling asleep. I would lay there trying to catch myself in the moment of falling asleep. I learned to get some HI, But I was never able to really get into a dream that way. I've been doing it off and on my whole life I guess. I just never really took those little WILD's very seriously.

      Yeah, I saw that one a couple times. I think your right. My zombie dreams got a lot scarier after that one. And the rage virus zombies don't help either.

      Thanks. yeah, My whole life pretty much revolves around taking care of my dog, and Lucid Dreaming. I used to have some pretty bad nightmares about stuff happening to her. I get pretty paranoid about that sometimes. I'm like a way over protective parent lol.

      LOL, I love a good zombie adventure dream. But that's the closest I've come to being killed by zombies for a while.

      Thanks about the WILD comments. I'll try and remember to do that to help stay in it too. I actually fall asleep much fster when trying to WILD, So it actually helps me out. I don't need much patience for it. I just need to be able to clear my thoughts, and silently listen for a little while. Then weird things start to happen. But clearing thoughts can be a lot easier said than done.

      Thanks, for mentioning that picture. All that bear needs is a fishing pole.

      Yeah, I have the same problem. And my WILD's are so fragile. I'm hoping that if I do it enough, it will be easier to stay calm in them. Just because of repetition.

      A Lucid Dream
      Tuesday/ March/18/ 2008
      Lucid Dream # 17 of 2008
      Wake initiated Lucidity
      I decided to count this one, because I was in it long enough to actually do something. And I was able to exert some control over the dream.


      I hear a couple of indescribable sounds, Then the image of a person sewing the sleeve of a jacket appears. There is a person holding up their arm, and the sleeve of there jacket is torn down the length of it. Another person, is sewing the sleeve back together. I watch as the needle and thread is being pushed through the material. I watch this scene for a little bit, when things shift.

      There is a blank spot for a second, where I'm not quite sure what happened. But the next thing I know, I'm in this place that I can only describe as being similar to an elevator shaft. There is a huge metal door that slides up and down like a garage door sort of. I'm standing at what must be the bottom of the shaft, and the bottom of the doorway is up on the wall a little bit, a little higher than my head. My hand has been crushed by the metal door. Because I had reached up there, and the door came crashing down on my hand.(I barely remember the door actually falling on my hand though.)

      I briefly wonder if this could count as the task of the month. The door slides back up.
      I'm not sure if it was because of something I did, or if it did it on it's own. I climb up out of the shaft, and into a corridor. My hand is crushed completely flat, and it actually hurts a little. I think it's strange that I can feel pain, even a little. I know that I don't have to feel pain if I don't want. So I will the pain to go away, and it does instantly.

      I then send my awareness down the length of my arm, and into my hand. With the intent to heal myself. My hand blows up into it's normal shape, just as if I was blowing up a balloon. I then shake my hand a little, and begin walking down the corridor when I abruptly wake up.

      A little excited about this one, it takes me a while to relax again. But then

      I begin to hear some beautiful piano music. I listen to it until this scene appears, of an ocean along a tall rocky cliff. I watch the waves crash against the side of the cliff, as the piano music continues to play. That lasts for a short while before waking up again.

      A Lucid Dream
      Tuesday/March/18/2008
      Lucid Dream # 18 of 2008
      Not sure what to call this one
      WILD/DILD combo

      I woke up from my nap to pee, after about two hours. I was awake now, but decided to see if I could WILD a little, before getting up.

      I WILD into some action scene, I'm Lucid, but not completely. I'm having a sword fight. with some people that are supposed to be royalty in some olden times setting. I'm not quite sure exactly what's going on. There are a lot of people rushing around, and I'm fighting for my life. this lasts for a little bit. Then, I think because of my expectations.The dream fades and I wake up. I lay there in bed thinking about this newest little WILD, when I do a random reality check. And I can breath! I'm like no way, it cant be! I pinch my nose and I can still breath. Knowing I must be dreaming, I'm still having a hard time comprehending it, because everything is so perfectly real. Excited, I pull the covers back and get up out of bed. I can see dog laying there sleeping. I walk over to the light-switch to see if it works. The first time I flip it, the light does not come on. But I flip it again, and the light comes on. OK it didn't work the first time, thats a sure dreamsign. I pinch my nose again, and I can still breath.

      I walk over to another light-switch, and the same thing happens. It works on the second try. I walk upstairs and my sister is there, Sitting on the couch watching TV.
      I decide To do another reality check. I get up on the couch and do a perfect back flip and land on my feet. I know I can't do that in real life. I still want to do another reality check though. I jump into the air, and catch myself with my mind, before I fall. I hover there in mid air, completely sure I'm dreaming now.

      I tell my sister it's a dream. I stand right over her with my nose pinched, so she can clearly see it's pinched. And start breathing in and out really hard. And tell her to look I can breath through a pinched nose. She gets pissed off and tells me to get away from her, accusing me of blowing boogers on her lol. Then I abruptly wake up.

      I'm pretty excited about this one. The most successful wild I ever had.

      That is so weird. You get such detailed HI. I had some last night, like a little bird pecking at something.

      Well, it was pretty easy when I knew I was still dreaming.
      It's when I know I'm awake, that getting out of bed sucks.

      Thanks,

      I think it is rubbing off on you!
      Seeing how my attempts help others, is part of why I've been working so hard at it lately.
