DREAM JOURNAL</span>
Facts about Howetzer's Dream Journal.
I have been Lucid Dreaming since 2002.
Looking over this past year (2004) I had 53 Lucid dreams
My goals:
1. To name each Lucid dream
2. To note which day they occur (since I have started = over 50 % were on Sunday)
3. To note what position I was in when I awoke. ( On my back since noting is how I usually awake.)
I record my non lucid dreams in a written journal.
Because of time restrictions I am going to post only dreams that I feel are out of the ordinary, funny, or possibly educational.
Bringing my journal up to date
Notes:
I have had four experiences that have grabbed my attention.
I am in a state that has been described to me as a deep lucid. Unlike sleep paralysis on these occasions I am completely conscious but without the ability to move or have any auditory input or visual characteristics. Just a void of consciousness.
It has been explained to be called a near death experience. I am still in the process Of coming to my own conclusion.
A state at which you become Lucid during Delta sleep.
I have had two OBE's
That is if to say if you looked up the definition. I am struggling with the concept they exist as how they are perceived by the general populas. I feel they are a form of a lucid experience. But I must say on both occasions it did in fact feel like my conscious mind was leaving my physical body. I'm keeping an open mind to this, or trying at least.
I have had Six non lucid dreams where I was a complete different character than myself.
An old lady. Who had four days to live - This grounded me. very real!
Kurt Cobain. With an inner view with Kurt Loder.
John Malcovich. This was before I realized there was a movie called, "Being John Malkovich" !?!
President Bush. I was making an address to the nation.
Michael Douglas. I assumed his confident Characteristics (same with the above characters)
Elvis. I was greeting people at the door of a party. Again Confident.
I feel these dreams are noteworthy and show sign of my lack of confidence. In each one I felt as how I feel that they would feel, nothing like myself.
Complete and utter confidence, which I cannot even obtain in my LDs :?
I have had several false awakenings. Some in which were sooo real that I did a reality check to find myself waking up again :o
Sleep Paralysis.
This is something I have on occasion but am comfortable with them and use them for what I can. -Try to OBE or gain Lucidity or maybe something I don't even know about :idea:

This is the area where I am most efficient. I can have them every night unless I fall asleep before trying.
I have very vivid HI & several unique ideas have been spawned out of these images.
