The Tao's Dream Journal

I probably won't keep this as updated as some of the others in here, but I'll try. I may actually just use this to keep track of my WILD and WBTB attempts, but I'll incorporate the dreams into them if I remember.

During the day, almost randomly, but when odd things happen too, I do a reality Check by pinching my nose and trying to breathe through it. All in all, I probably do this around 15 times in 1 day. I've been doing it since about 3/17/08. I always wake up after about 5 hours of sleep, every single night, which gives me the perfect opportunity to attempt the WILD technique every night. I do this without the use of an Alarm Clock, but rather with Auto Suggestion, and my body is just trained to wake up.

3/25/08

I don't remember for sure what I dreamed about, but I woke up, and attempted a WILD. After 10 minutes of Trying, I just fell asleep on accident. During this dream, I'm in my living room watching tv. My Brother and Dad are in there as well, and Star Trek: Voyager is on. I don't recognize the episode (but I'm not big Trekky, so it didn't seem odd to me), but during the episode, one of the characters keeps Snapping their head forward to try to change their location, and I remark to my brother {"I hate when I do that in my dreams, its so hard to change your location like that.", and he replied with "Yes, much like in a Lucid Dream?".}

Probably the most obvious Dream Sign, and yet I ignore it completey. A few minutes later while watching the show, I woke up.

3/25/08 - Dream 2

I tried doing a WBTB method this time, because a WILD wasn't working for me. I don't really remember how long I was laying there, but I fell asleep. My Dream started with me in a Rec Room in the apartment complex where I live, and the managers kid was there, and a girl I haven't seen for almost 2 years was there too. We were shooting pool, talking about something, and the managers kid kept throwing stuff onto the pool table, which was annoying.

At some point during the pool game, we suddenly ended up in my room and were continuing our conversation. Her dad was calling her because they were leaving, and when we said Bye, I could swear she rolled her eyes at me, though its hard to remember because that dream wasn't too vivid. Anyway, I woke up around that point.

3/26/08

I don't remember much, mainly that I was in my room, and this guy named "Mayuri" (those familiar with the anime 'Bleach' will know who he is) was trying to kill me. He called on his bankai, which I think I jumped inside, and when he tried to stab through it to kill me, it protected me.

At some point, I realized I had some abilities of my own. But upon trying to use them, I couldn't get them to work. I woke up around this point.

3/26/08 - Dream 2

I was laying in bed, and thought about WILDing, but then just ended up trying a WBTB. It didn't work :(. Anyway, this dream starts out where I'm talking to one of my friends. We're in the store, and some guy comes up and starts hitting on her, and was horrible at it. As he walked off, he started talking like she already was his gf. I told her if he came back I would stab him, and she laughed and we walked out of the store.

We're suddenly in her house, getting ready to eat dinner, and she says something about them buying a house, and asks if I've ever had one. I answered yes, and then, somehow, managed to fling myself out the side door, around the house, kick their back door, get back around the house and back into the chair, and her dad came over to see what happened. She sitting there with a stupid grin on her face and gives away it was me.

Woke up around that point.

3/28/08 - Dream 3!

Ok, this dream, I don't remember too much about how I started it, but I do remember that I had complete control in it, I just wasn't lucid.

This one starts out with me in my house (a common theme in my dreams). I'm fighting something, though I'm sure as to what, but during the fight, I shout out an incanctation (again, those familiar with the anime Bleach will understand) saying "Reign over the frosted frozen skies! Hyourinmaru!", and a huge jet of ice shot out of my hand and pinned the thing to the wall. That was fun. I decided to go out back because my dad and brother were out there talking about something, and I wanted to fly.

I had Wings on my back, probably because of that incantation I shouted (according to the anime, It was only the '1st release', and in that stage, I shouldn't have wings, only in the 2nd stage of the release), but anyway, I had them. I started flying up, just testing things out, and I got about 40 feet off the ground, and then the wind started blowing me around and so I quickly landed.

I then said screw it, and started flying around without the aid of anything how I normally do, zipping past windows, my family... but I lost control at one point, and couldn't stop. So I'm zipping really far away. Its good to note that I still don't know its a dream, and think everything is real, so I'm kinda worried I won't be able to get back. I see a tree, and reach out with my hand and grab it to stop myself. Turn around, and push off and fly back to my house.

After going inside, I went to make something to eat, and while i'm in the middle of making my plate, I woke up.

3/36/08 - Dream Note

This was a very very short dream, but I felt I should mention it. I think it was a WILD that got me this, but I'm not sure. I was laying in bed trying to do a WILD, and at some point, I had to use the bathroom. When I went in there, I did a RC by pinching my nose and breathing through it, and it worked! I was able to breathe. I took 2 steps, and then woke up, which sucked.
