Thread: Clairity.. Perchance to Dream

Earlier that night I had read Adam's Guide to Attaining Lucidity and it stated to keep the thoughts of the dream that you've just awoken from fresh in your mind and then to slowly roll onto your back.

I had made a mental note of that, so when my alarm went off at 3:00 am, I reached over, shut it off and then rolled onto my back.

I then had the strangest experience!

I felt myself gently lifted into the air and then slowly lowered down through one of those old fashioned spike memo holders.

Funny thing is.. though the spike went all the way through my back and out my chest.. I felt no pain.. no sensation at all really.

I must have fallen into a dreamless sleep immediately after being impaled as I have no recollection of any dreams other than this one.

Crazy. Sounds like something I read from reading about ancient midieval tortures a while back. There's some brutal stuff they did.

That's cool that you experienced something from Adam's method. I haven't gotten anything to work yet, but I'm still new to this. I've read your WILD method as well. I notice you don't stay up nearly as long as most other people say to. Some say 30 minutes, some 60, one even says he recommends 90 minutes. Adam says 10-15 and you say just long enough to go to the bathroom and sleep somewhere else.

Anyway, I'm going to try to read the dreams you post from now on, but as for the ones you've already posted, I just can't read everyone's really long journals, so if you have any favorites or ones you'd like me to read, I'll read those.

OMG thats sooooo weird! Although my NEW guide states that rolling onto your back, may not be the best solution since it is not as comfortable

Either way, sounds like a very weird dream.

I keep meaning to ask you actually, when I WILD, I only wake up for 5 minutes then do my new technique, which often puts me in the situation of moving REALLY fast, either dropping down, slipping like I would be going down a slide head first backwards or something similar. Its always these really fast moving sensations I experience more than HI/HS - So you find this at all?

I managed to do the basic lucid task (find a card) but it was a major disappointment.

I have been fighting sinus problems all week but was determined to try to WILD this weekend. I woke up at around 3am and realized that I still had a bit of a sinus headache. I decided taking sinus medication wouldn't hurt anything since it stated that it might cause drowsiness (which wouldn't be a problem as I wanted to go back to sleep anyway).

I took a couple of pills and went to my living room couch to begin my WILD attempt.

I was doing some suggestions and after about 30 minutes, I started to relax and then felt the room sort of "warp" and then sway. I suddenly saw my husband standing next to the couch and it "startled" me lucid!

I found myself in an absolutely filthy house. There was trash on the floor and dirty dishes, etc. on the table and counters.

I walked towards the kitchen and saw two caged beautiful birds on a counter in the corner.

It broke my heart to see such beauty living in such squalor and for a second I thought of releasing them but then two scruffy dirty men entered the room deep in conversation and distracted me.

I suddenly remembered the card task and asked the less intimidating one for a deck of cards. He reached in his shirt pocket and produced a deck.

The first card I pulled out was completely blank except for the word "ACE" on one side.

I knew I could do better so I pulled another card. This card was also blank except for the number "2". I said aloud (more to myself than anyone else).. "2 of what?" and the man smiled strangely and said simply "2 of the deck."

I looked at him thinking that was really helpful and then felt the dream fading.

It was the most "trippy" feeling lucid I have ever had and I definately won't be taking sinus medication and trying to WILD ever again.

Hey congrats Clairity

Lol @ "2 of the deck."

DC's can be so annoyingly clever, sometimes, can't they?

Congratulations, Clairity!

I find they are often very clever. I mean sometimes they say things that when I wake up I think I would never have thought of saying something similar. And after all they are made from your subconscious..

That one belongs in the "DCs Say The Darndest Things" thread. I laughed out loud.

Thanks for reading Adam, O and pj!

Hey.. I've never had anything to contribute to that post before.. maybe the dream wasn't a total bust after all!

Is picking a card a difficult thing in a dream? What is the attraction to this task, I wonder?

Anyway, that's cool you completed it. Did the dream end before you could do it again or did you make it end?

Picking a card was selected as the "basic" lucid task because it was thought to be an easy one (hopefully) for a lucid dreamer to accomplish.

I think I was so "not enjoying" this lucid dream that once I accomplished the task I was more than ready for it to end.. so it did.

Time for me to make an official comment on your dreams in here seeing as last time I made a comment on it being spammed

You have some great dreams and also congrats on the lucid task however I can't help but wonder if that counts seeing as it's not a real card

Congratulations on the task Clairity. Cold medicine messes up my dreams too, I don't like taking it.

Gah, remind me when I get home that I need to update your signature Clairity!!

Oh.. that's right.. add on one more "task completed"!

The Memo Holder
That dream was horrific, and exciting I have to give you props for not waking up and feeling no sensation after a metal blade went threw ur stomach. That’s a dream to really remember.

I looked back and reviewed all the old dreams, and watched the progress grow. I can see a huge difference in you’re new dream entries. It’s a positive difference! great JOB
KEEP’EM COMEN!!8)

I have the "squalid house" dream too. I was searching for the meaning of that dream when I found DreamViews. And I have the "abandoned pet" dream too. (At least I used to have those as recurring dreams--but it seems like I talked about them and they sort of went away.)

What kind of sinus medication did you say you were taking...? (Seriously, PM me!)

P.S. congrats on the task--another multiple card person (you and TS)!
