Yeah..awareness is key. When you do your reality checks, has it become reflex, or do you consciously examine everything around you?

I find that for me..perhaps it would help you too, to go by the attitude "Never be sure" whether you're dreaming or not, as well as not letting reality checks become mere reflex.

I'm curious, WILD pissed me off for the longest time..till I finally succeeded in it (still can't do it quite reliably)..Has it always been just falling asleep for you?, or have you ever gotten to SP..seen HI and the like?

Most of the time, yes. When it becomes a reflex, I try to catch myself.

Never got to SP stage. I have gotten some slight HI, but nothing too great, just some swirls of light.

That happens to me sometimes. I find I have to not move once I wake up, close my eyes almost immediately and think to myself "I am in a dream I am lucid" as much as I can. After a few seconds some weird HI will happen and I'll find myself asleep.
Maybe you could try that with WBTB. Be sure to have been asleep for at least 4 hours.

I have to try this.

For it to work you have to be very tired after you wake up, which shouldn't be too hard. Usually 4 or 5 hours sleep isn't enough for me (I think 8 hours is recommended minimum for everyone) but its enough time to fall asleep and go lucid.

WARNING: Because you are tired you may forget about lucid dreams and fall asleep. Sometimes its impossible to avoid. Try to maintain focus.

Sounds more like a DEILD than a WILD

That it does.

I actually wanted to try Loaf's technique, but I never woke up in the middle of the night to try it I'll try again tonight.

Santa ruins gifts (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am on some kinda street. I apperently have a job, in which I ask the public for gift donations. I am with a group of other people with the same job. We all go down an alley to meet up and discuss our plan. In the middle of our meeting, another guy in our group that wasn't in the meeting comes up to us and says, "Uhh guys, Santa is ruining it again." We all run back to the street, and there is a guy in a Santa suit shaking a stocking and asking for donations. Our group leader says, "Hey! We already told you to leave once, get out of here!" and chases the man in the santa suit away.

Dream End.

Recalling a Dream Inside a Dream (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

All these dreams I recalled were dreams close to the morning. I was at some kinda fair or carnival. I'm looking up at 2 huge farris wheels right next to eachother. They are blue with yellow lights on them. In the backround, there is a slingshot type ride, where you slingshot yourself accross a big gap. I'm looking up at the farris wheels and I think to myself, "Wow, how will I describe this dream in my dream journal... Okay, two big farris wheels next to eachother, and a slingshot ride in the backround." For some reason I wanted to say I rode the slingshot ride, even though I clearly didn't. So I basically was discribing my dream inside my dream. And I didn't become lucid. Poop.

Stick Shifts (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

More boring dreams. I post these so you don't think I've given up. I haven't!

I am in a garage. I am next to a old Ford Mustang. Apperently the car is mine. I looks a bit like this:



Anyways, I am with my friend and we decide to go for a drive in it. We head out. The car is a manual. I have never driven a stick shift in real life before. My friend owns a manual car, that's probably where my mind got it from. We are cruising down a street, and I attempt to shift to next gear. Somehow I epically fail, and rev the engine really high, and unrealisticly, accelerate really fast. I quickly shift back down, and say to my friend, "Wow didn't mean to do that" We continue the drive normally, and I was expert in shifting the rest of the way.

We get back and the dream kinda changes. I am no longer with my friend but I am back in the garage. Some guy wants to buy the car from me. I say "Give me an offer" He says "90 dollars." Hmmm I think to myself. I walk over to my dad and ask him how much I should sell it for and he says, "Go ahead sell it for $90" WTF?! I walk back up to the man and say "Deal." He drives away in the car.
More crap I don't rememberYay for boring (and strange) dreams!

Ha ha thats awesome.

Fighting (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Iv'e been having a massive dry spell with recall. Every night, I can only remember very small bits, if any. And most of those small bits are very boring, not worth posting. I am writing this entry today, because last night's dream was one that was less boring, and I can remember it pretty clearly. The part I can remember is very short, but, it's something isn't it?

Lots of things happened I cannot remember. I am in a room going to fight this guy. He pulls out a gun. I run for cover as he shoots at me. It nearly misses me. I am behind a counter, and I decide to throw things at him. I am grabbing whatever I can find on the table. Pens, notebooks, and a metal pan. These seem to not harm him at all. I am running to hide behind some sort of pillar, and he gets a shot off into my arm. It doesn't hurt, it mostly felt like someone slashed hot water on your arm. I quickly shrug it off, and we keep fighting. I can't remember much at this point but I remember I got shot about 2 more times, and somehow I ended up killing the guy.

I am thinking about getting some apple juice and having a glass before I go to bed each night. Many people say it helps with dream recall and vividness. I could really use that.

Thats a pretty awesome dream. Dream pain is weird. It doesn't hurt, but its uncomfortable, and the more you tell yourself it hurts the more it does. Like when I ate a mirror the tingling in my mouth was really uncomfortable, but then I thought "Wait, this can't possibly hurt" and it faded a little.

I've had a recall dryspell before. Worst part was it came about when WakingNomad was supposably sharing dreams with me.

Hello Everyone. I had some dreams to enter in today, but I have totally forgot them. That's what I get for waiting a few hours after I wake up to update my dream journal. But I do remember that I had a false awakening. Not lucid, but just a dream that I woke up. It was strange, things were different about my house, but didn't help me realize that it wasn't real. Anyways, I got like a minute or two into a regular day, then I woke up for real, and was like "Wtf? That was weird."

I feel maybe my dry spell is coming to an end, but I don't know, I'll just have to wait and see.

I hope its coming to an end. I really do.

Superheroes (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am so happy. I finally had a nice long vivid dream that I remember clearly. Some details are missing, but major points in the dream I can still remember. I am extra happy because I completed one of my dream goals: Kill a DC. I'm pretty excited.

I am in a city that kinda looks like my school but city style with tall buildings and an ocean next to it. It sorta looks like New York. I am a superhero in this dream. I can't remember what my name was, but I had the powers of frost. I could freeze things, and sling from one place to another with frost string stuff that sticks to things. (lol, wtf?) Anways in the dream I am fighting an enemy and we are going all over the city fighting eachother. At one point I remember driving along a street while chasing the villan. I could hear his voice say somthing like, "Block him off!" and a car all of a sudden comes and blocks off half of the road. I move to get around it, but the villan then makes some hidden ramps rise out of the road, and my car jumps off the ramp, hits a bridge, and crashes.

Next thing I remember is that I have a partner. He has the power of fire, like the Human Torch from Fantastic Four. He gets captured by the villan, and gets put on top of a huge building in the city, and some power is keeping him from flaming on and getting out. I try to go save him at one point in the dream. As I get to the top of the building he is being held at, I try to save him. The villan then says, "Oh no you don't!" and comes and knocks me off. I say to the villan, "How do you always know where I am?" he laughs and says, "You leave your trail of frost everywhere you go, it's so easy to follow you!" He chases me to the edge of the ocean, where there is a dock with a ladder to climb up onto the street. I start climbing the ladder, while the villan does too, who now looks like a lion. I think he could shapeshift or something Hes climbing below me, and when I'm almost at the top, he is almost caught up to me. I kick him in the face, and he falls down the ladder and hits the ground at the bottom. Blood sprays everywhere and he is dead.

I finish climbing to the top of the ladder, and I am at a place that looks just like my school. I see the principle, Mrs. Bolts. I climb onto the ground and say, "Mrs. Bolts..." it gets her attention, "You know <enter my superhero name here> and <enter villan's name here> right?" She says "Yeah, why?" I say, "Well we were fighting eachother, and I killed him. He's at the bottom of this ladder. " We both look back over the edge, and the body is gone, swept into the ocean. "Oh well I guess hes in the ocean now..." I say. I then get up and walk towards my next class The only wounds I have are a bloody knee and some other scratches. My partner the joins me, apperently he got free after I killed the villan.

That was awesome.
Ice would be my element too, given the choice.
You should start your lucid journey from scratch. Clearly whatever you have been trying isn't working for you. You can have a lucid, you know. Its not impossible. Even if you don't try it'll occur one time or another.

Another good dream remembered. I have been remembering only fragments these last few days, and they were not worth posting. I finally had another good sized dream that I can remember fully.

Fighting Midgets (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am in a warehouse type of building. The room I am in is quite small. There are piled of random junk in two of the corners, and there are shelves with random junk on them too. Scattered pieces of junk such as chairs and tables are about the room. I am near one of the corners facing off with a strange looking dude but I don't remember what he looked like. He had a weapon of some sorts, but I ended up disarming him. He then procedes to throw random junk around the room at me. He hits tables and other objects towards me. (The way he did it is like the tank hits things around in Left 4 Dead.) I am ducking behind things, trying to find something to throw back. All of a sudden a midget is next to me also wanting to kill me. I am now dodging two attacks. One from a random dude, and one from a freakin midget. I grab a chair and start charging towards the midget. He picks up a different chair and blocks me. I somehow end up getting an advantage on him, and charge at him with the chair again, and it hits him straight in the head. He does a backflip from the impact, but the other random dude attacking me starts flying and picks me and the midget up.
"I can't fly for very long with you two with me, you know that. But you shouldn't of messed with me" he says.
His hands start glowing, and a flash of light later, I am in a totally new room. I am with another person, who was not from the battle at the warehouse. He and I exit the room, very sneaky. We are apperently not trying to be seen or heard by some strange monster zombie type things. We exit the room and are in a huge house. We were in some kind of laundry room, and we are now near the kitchen. The guy thats with me grabs some things off the table and heads to the hallway. I go the other direction, and I call to him in a whisper.
"Hey man! Over here! I think it's this way" I try to shout but still whisper. He ignores me and keeps moving along to the hallway. He then breaks out into a run and is out of sight. I turn around and I see one of the monster zombie things standing at a doorway. They look like bald humans. This one was a midget. I was not afraid of it, just kinda suprised I saw one there. Suddenly I turn into one of them. I start talking and the way I talk sounds like I got no teeth, and I am almost loosing my voice.
The midget zombie thing then says
"Ok. We need to find the rest of the heroes. We must win this battle"
"So we need to find the rest of the normal people?" I ask
"Yessss" says the midget zombie. "There are 500 more heroes left... we must find them and kill them."

Dream scene changes. I am in a new room that was the same room from a earlier dream in the night. I do not remember this dream, but when I "Spawn" into this room, I know I had been there before. I decide to change the outcome of the previous dream since the previous dream seemed to be repeating itself. I don't think this would be considered lucid since I had no idea I was actually dreaming, just changing something that had happened before. I lead one of the people in the room with me out the back door. There are steps leading to an alley. And then I Wake up.

I tried a WILD the other night. I woke up in the middle of the night, didn't remember why. When I was awake, I thought to myself, "I guess I'll try a WILD" I laid on my back and didn't move at all. I tried counting my breaths, but my stupid mind kept trying to drag me back to sleep! My thoughts of numbers and counting soon starting turning into thoughts of counting money and handing it out to people! I caught myself, and restarted. It happened again! This time I fully fell asleep. WTF? How can I stop my mind from running away with a simple thought like counting my breaths?

I also thought I hit SP at one point, but I tried moving my finger, and it moved perfectly fine, so I guess that was a no. I'm going to try this again if I wake up in the middle of the night again because I REALLY want to LD. Like seriously.

Cool how real the cows looked, also smelling in a dream is badass. I have only smelled once in a dream. My neighbors were smoking weed. haha.

I hate dreams where you find some weird crap in your mouth! lol

I had one where I had rocks and sand in the back of my throat and I kept coughing it up and it sucked. lol

not very pleasant.

The City (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This is my very first lucid dream. A very short one, yes, but a lucid dream anyways. I am driving around a city and drive into this parking lot of a shopping center. I don't know why I am here but I am driving around the parking lot for really no reason at all. I decide to exit the parking lot and drive down the street some more before I get out at this weird building that will lead further down the path. My mom fits in to this part in some way. Maybe i'm following her to the path or something I don't know. When I am inside the building I remember unchaining the lock to this door and letting a bunch of people through. The dream gets vague and then I remember being in another room with a weird fuzzy animal thing from Muppets maybe I don't know. The weird yellow thing then pinches his nose as if doing a reality check. I then do the same and I can breathe! I then thought to myself, "I'm dreaming!" Instantly I am trying to think what I want to do, got too excited and lost lucidity. Dang, should of stablized the dream. I think I then like collapsed on the floor of the building I was in, in third person view.

The dream is very vague and I can't remember much of the rest of the dream. That doesn't matter though I had my first lucid dream! Woot! I hope more are to follow!

haha! a hairy yellow muppet helped you do a reality check!

Invisible Fragments (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Just dream fragments I remember

- I am in some kind of store. I go around collecting different kinds of food. Some person walks in and starts talking to me. I start walking out of the store and apperently I can walk right through solid objects. I start walking through random people. It's just like my usual super power dreams, the power working how some lucid dreams work. Sometimes I can do it successfully, sometimes I fail. I have to think really hard about walking through things to actually do it. Now if only I became lucid....

- Something about driving a semi truck and smashing into random things.

WOOOOOOT LUCIDITY!!!!

Can't think of a title (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Well I am very happy to say I had my second lucid dream. Finally! And it lasted longer than 1 second! Here we go!

STUFF I DON'T REMEMBER

I am at some sort of table with assorted foods and dishes on it. I don't remember how I got here but something makes me do a reality check. I then realize that I am dreaming. "Finally!" I think to myself. I quickly think to stablize the dream, since I could tell it was very weak lucidity. I start to rub my hands, and it gets a bit more stable, but a few seconds later, I can feel myself very quickly losing lucidity and waking up. For a last ditch effort, I get up from the table and start spinning. It doesn't work. All I see is swirling colors and blackness starts closing in. I can't remember if I woke up at this point or if I continued with the dream.

- Another dream: I am in some kind of jungle place, and my goal is to place this small rock at the mouth of a cave, and this blows up the island or something like that.
