Jacob's Dream Journal

[Jacmarpet]

- Jacob's Dream Journal - Hello, and welcome to my dream journal! A bit about how i got into lucid dreaming(skip this if you just want to read about my dreams): I first became lucid of today(2. March - 2010), just two hours before writing this. About a month ago, I heard about lucid dreaming through a friend of mine, who stumbled upon it at Everything2.com if you know about that site. He showed me the article, and we both got really exited because we had never heard about lucid dreaming before. We both started doing different exercies, such as looking at our hands every hour, and reapeatedly asking yourself if you are dreaming. We also both started a dream journal(we actually bought books for it, looks really neat!), and started writing down our dreams, which was alot of fun! A couple of weeks ago we got the idea to buy a book about lucid dreaming, and we found Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge & Howard Rheingold. I can really recommend it! The two weeks after buying the book, I did relaxation exercies before going to bed, and other exercies aswell. And then it happened! ------------------------- Not dreaming Normal dream Lucid dream

2. March - 2010 (nap at 16:00) - My first lucid dream! I was standing in a kitchen, which was a mix of my parents kitchen, and the kitchen where I live now. A friend of mine was standing next to me, and we were cooking something. I don't remember what though. As the friends I have where I live never come to my parents house, I thought it was a bit odd that he was standing next to me, cooking in my parents kitchen. That was the moment. Since i thought it was odd, i took a look at my hands, which is one of the techniques im sure you know about, and my right hand looked like this: That's the second I realized I was having a lucid dream! It was SO hard staying calm, since I had been waiting for this moment for so long! The second I realized, I was like: "Oh my god, it's really happening, it's really happening, please dont wake up, please please!", and I didn't! So after realizing it was a dream, I looked up, and saw a window in front of me. I put my fingertips on it, and thought: "If this is a dream, my hand can go through the glass", and it did! I got so exited! After that I walked up to a wall just left of the kitchen and thought: "Well, I guess I can walk through walls aswell", and so I did. I walked straight through it and ended up in my parents garden, completely covered in snow. I walked out onto the road, and thought I would try flying(the thing I have been wanting to try the most). I bent my knees and set off, and I flew straight up in the air, untill I reached the clouds. This was SO amazing! I flew through the clouds, and saw the sun, which had a bright orange color, not the yellow it usually has. I flew with unbelievable speed over the clouds, and sometimes flew down through them, and up again, it was the best feeling I have ever felt! I decided to land, and I ended up in some neighborhood, no idea where. I didn't know what to do there, so I set off again and flew all the way home and landed on my parents porch. As I landed, I told myself(because I was really exited and I didn't want to wake up): "Take it easy, stay calm". The next thing I wanted to do was to make Jessica Alba appear, and have a little session with her, if you know what I mean. I opened the door to the house, and I woke up in that instant. The second I woke up I put my clothes on and ran into my friends room to tell him all about it. My heart was pounding, and he was like: "Dude, why are you sweating so much?", and I told him all about it! Well, that was my first lucid dream. It was simply amazing and I'm hoping I will get many more in the future! Jacob.

3. March - 2010 (at night) - Normal dream Not much to report. Very short dream. I was in some type of conference room, filled with people, none of which I knew. An old man and an old lady were the ones leading the conference. Both of them had a long kind of pointing stick which they used to point at a whiteboard with. Suddently the room had no people in it, and filled with pigs instead, walking around. That's all I remember. Jacob.

LMFAO 'The next thing I wanted to do was to make Jessica Alba appear, and have a little session with her, if you know what I mean' For THAT my friend, you are a legend. Im really excited for you man, thats a great acheivment. I am so excited for my first lucid dream. Im not sure what to expect though. Because, dreams are usually really hazy, even ones i remember well. I mean, i cant remember what kind of floor i was standing on, what was behind me, but in a LUCID dream, it sounds just like real life. Am i right? Anyway mate keep em coming, im subscribing to you. DONT HESITATE TO TELL US U DID JESS ALBA. OORAH! Oh, by the way, good idea making a sketch, that helped. I wasnt sure wat a 'dream' hand looks like

4. March - 2010 (at night) - Normal dream I started out at some sort of airport or something. There were no buildings, just one big airplane in the middle of everything. Jeremy Clarkson from Topgear(the big guy) was standing next to me, and talking to me I think, though I don't remember anything of what he said. Suddently a big pool of mud appeared next to us, in the middle of the astfalt. Next to the pool, an excavator appeared, with Richard Hammond from Topgear(the little guy) in it. He started driving the excavator into the pool, but instead of going down into it, the excavator tilted 90 degrees, and it kind of floated, on the shovel, over the pool, and made it to the other side. It looked a bit like this: Then a pool of water appeared next to the pool of mud. A jetfighter came rolling, and started hovering over the pool of water, and then tilted and flew straight up into the air and dissapeared. Next a friend of mine appeared and asked me if I wanted to come with him. I went with him, and we ended up at a cliff where people were basejumping from, and landing on a beach beneath. We both put on parachutes and jumped, and landed on the beach. Pretty long and detailed dream. Funny thing is that I actually watched Topgear yesterday, and had dinner with that particular friend Jacob.

5. March - 2010 (at night - drunk) - Normal dream This might be the shortest dream I have ever had. All I remember is a television. Like one of those big old ones. That's all. I tried the backtracking technique, but after 5 minuttes I gave up. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I was drunk last night. It seems like I get alot shorter dreams, or mostly I'm just not able to remember them after a night with alchohol. Jacob.

Having a complete dry-period at the moment. Not able to remember any dreams at all. Any ideas on what I could do? Jacob.

Try to get enough sleep, like 8 hours... You should also recall your dreams better if you wake up by alarm, this way you could wake up during your REM-sleep, not after it... So you could set an alarm, say after 6 hours,another one after 7 hours and another after 8 hours... Also, if you don't remember any dreams, write down in your DJ that you did'nt remember any, this way you will stress that it's important to remember dreams... And when you wake up natural, try to stay still in bed, this should help to.

9. March - 2010 (at night) - Normal dream Dry period over! Yay! I set my alarmclock to wake me up at 5 AM and 6 AM and 7:20 AM, and I recall 2 dreams. First dream: I was at this bar talking to a girl, a very hot one. We agreed to leave the bar and go home. It was dark outside, and we walked for a while, sometimes stopping to make out(very nice!) untill we came to a brook, where this gang was hanging out. There were 3 girls and 5 guys or so. They started throwing my stuff in the brook. My jacket, hat and such. I got pissed at them and jumped one of the guys, and threw him in the brook, and I fell in with him. I grabbed my things and we left. We walked for a while and I noticed my wallet and phone was gone. Second dream: I was standing under this massive bridge, where people in canoes were paddling through. On both sides people stood cheering because it was some kind of race. I remember seeing a bunch of people cheering with the German flag in their hands, as a canoe passed by. Then I saw two guys standing with the Danish flag(my own country), cheering as a canoe passed by. I walked up to them and said hi, and for some reason I started telling them a story about myself and two friends of mine. I told them I had been on a canoe-trip myself in Spain, where we went down the tallest waterfall in the world, in a canoe. I have never been to Spain, and the tallest waterfall in the world is in Venezuela and is 978 metres(3208 feet) tall. They were very impressed though. Nice to have dreams again! Both when I fell asleep and when I was awoken at 5 AM and 6 AM I tried using the MILD technique, but with no luck. Jacob.

11. March - 2010 (at night) - Normal dream Again I set my alarm clock to 5 AM, 6 AM and 7:20 AM, and tried the MILD technique each time. No luck though. Might be because I'm a bit sick at the moment. First dream: Very short dream. All I remember is me standing in a kitchen, trying to even out meat sauce in a big dish, with a big white spoon. I tried to use the MILD technique and go back into the same dream again, and it actually worked, I just didn't realize it was a dream when it continued. Second dream: Same as the first one. Me evening out meat sauce in a dish... I hope this MILD technique is going to work soon! Jacob.

12. March - 2010 (at night - drunk) - Normal dream I was at my dormitory, out in the halls with lots of people there. About 5 of my friends, mixed from where I live now, and where I lived about 2 years ago. I walk into one of my friend's room and start yelling, and then I throw an apple down into the carpet, and it bounces around the room, and lands in a bowl already full of apples. We leave the room at notice that one of my female friends has scored some dude who is buttugly, and we start laughing at them, and then we offer them some beer, but they refuse to drink. Then I woke up. I didn't do any techniques at all last night, was way too drunk. Pretty detailed dream though! Jacob.

16. March - 2010 (at night) - Normal dream Have had a rough weekend. Insanely drunk both thursdag, friday and saturday. My wallet was stolen and someone spilled a beer in my laptop First dream: I was in a cyclingrace, and I remember doing pretty well untill I got to the finishingline where I took a wrong turn, and then had to do the entire race all over again. Just after missing the finish, a girlfriend of mine gave me two pieces of paper when I passed her, and another friend of mine sent me a SMS saying I missed the finishingline. Seconds later I see my mum, yelling after me, and I tell her to shut up. Second dream: I'm at my parents house standing in the scullery, watching my parents cooking dinner in the kitchen. All of a sudden the floor is filled with wasps, and I start stomping on them untill all of them are gone(trying to save my parents I guess). Just read about the WILD technique, think I'm going to give it a try tonight. Jacob.

17. March - 2010 (nap at 16:30) - Normal dream The content of the dream I guess is because I watched Lost just before I took the nap. So I'm on the Lost island, standing in a camp, with round huts made of straw and clay. A small pink airplane, like one of those really small Cessna planes, crashes next to me. One of my friends steps out of it, and he tells me the black smoke is coming, and we start running along the beach, untill we suddently reach my old school. We run inside and up some stairs and end up in my old classroom, which is full of friends of mine from different places. This is where it got really weird! So I sit down next to another friend of mine, and I actually tell him that I was lucid when I reached the school and ran up the stairs. I actually told him this in my dream! And he said something like: "Wow, thats great!" and then I woke up just after. I did the MILD technique, and I guess it sort of worked, but not really. Getting closer though! Jacob.

22. March - 2010 (at night) - Normal dream I'm in a forest, at a hilltop, standing there with my parents looking down the hill. Kids start running past down the hill, and I start counting them. They are all happy and screaming with joy. I stand there for a while counting them untill I reach 20 or so. Then we walk down the hill and reach a lake where a boat is anchored. The boat is my uncles old boat. Me and my dad start talking about the boat, and we agree thats it's an old boat and that my uncle should sell it soon. After that I suggest that we head home, but my mum don't want to go yet. My father agrees with me, and we head home. Jacob.
