Day 2 - 9/3/13
Holy Shit. Holy Shit. Holy Shit. I knew this dream yoga thing was perfect for me. Before I found it, I was sort of plateauing [=/ lol]. I had no idea where to go next and I was pretty much just flinging shit on the wall to see what would stick. Eventually I suppose I would have figured this thing out, and maybe it was just the shock of seeing something new that kick-started my brain. Holy shit, going into the outer reaches of off-topic space so I'll jump back : I had a couple of major breakthroughs last night after reading up the lessons and practicing some exercises.
When I first checked out the beginner lessons, I'll admit, I thought it would just be a waste of time as I have been practicing methods like that myself for a very long time. No sir. Most of the exercises I could pull off and hold with ease, but tbh I find general meditation fun and relaxing [Only source of "Happy" Nowadays] and doing exercises like these was just another thing I could add to my routine (Both my meditation routine and my "real life"). Anyway, some of the higher levels I could not pull off and probably will not be able to for a very long time, but I think of the journey as the reward rather than the mastery of these skills. The rush you get when you learn something new [and put it into practice] is something I live for, but it's coming to me less and less nowadays [Until dream yoga ofc]. It's getting really hard to get me to stay on topic, I just feel like gushing and talking and talking but I'll shorten this thing and get on point.
Breakthrough # 1 I was trying out the exercises involved with knowing how your body feels at all times, I was cycling between the fingers of my hand and my feet as fast as I could when I noticed something. I slowed down the cycle and started twitching [err almost twitching not sure what to call it, my muscles don't actually move] each body part I turned my attention to. That's when I noticed something odd [ The source of my Breakthrough ], when I twitched I would feel it in my finger [or toe w.e.] but at the same time I'd feel this pressure or something build up in my head somewhere. I realized that all actions originate from the brain, and when I twitch my fingers I should be able to feel exactly where in the brain it originated.
So I started practicing =p, cycling/twitching through fingers as fast as I could.
Eventually I was able to slowly trace the feeling up my arm to my head. I realized If i put pressure/"flexed" [Not entirely sure what to call it, Let me know if you have a name for this!] the area at the back of my head, at the base of my skull, I would be able to twitch my fingers/feet exactly as If I was twitching the actual finger! I'm very sloppy atm and I don't think I can control it well, but It's a major breakthrough for me and I love it! Being able to control your hands and feet by just exerting pressure to a certain area is amazing.
Breakthrough # 2 came exactly after I figured this out. I was practicing applying a constant pressure to the base of my skull while visualizing walking when I realized it actually felt like I was walking! I kept this up, letting my visualization get better, when I was thrown immediately into an LD of me walking. Weird huh? That was my breakthrough, I've never been able to properly form a dream [and jump into lucidity, could never make the transition], this is probably one of the first ones I've done!
I immediately summoned a car, and jumped into it. I was driving along this curved road when the perspective changed to me watching the car driving, a third person perspective. I could instantly switch between first and third felt really cool. If I felt like the dream was destabilizing, I would diffuse my vision and everything would instantly clear up for me. Anyway I'll finish up this story and wrap up the post [it's getting long =p]. I drive to the end of the road and see a cliff, realize I can't drive over it and start to think. What should I do? Should I just fly the car? Should I forget the car and fly over myself? Should I change scenery? Should I jump it? Yes. I should jump it. I conjured a huge ramp, then went into a third person perspective flying about 20 feet above the car. Then I looked down and stopped time. I reversed everything that happened in the dream sequence, as if I was watching a vhs get rewinded, got to the point where I first started the dream and then blacked out [=p].
I'm pretty sure at this point I just went back to regular dreaming. I must have used up too much energy reversing the dream sequence or something [oh well].
Breakthrough # 3 is quick I swear. I was in the middle of this regular dream [2 on 2 angel fight in an arena, I was getting my ass kicked] and it was starting to feel nightmarish. I decided I would just wake up and just as I was about to, my eyes rolled back in my head. I heard my tulpa call my name and a single point of light exploded all over my vision [into this crystal starburst type thing] while at the same time it felt as If I just had a full body orgasm [lol]. My tulpa said something to me, "you can do it" or something else. I could immediately see again and ended up brutally killing my opponents and making the dream have a good ending. This is the first time my tulpa has ever, ever, communicated to me in a dream.
Anyway Thanks for reading! I'm loving this dream yoga thing, and I will continue to be a faithful apprentice [=p]. I'll try cutting down for my next log posts. Feels Tl;DRish. Anyway drop me a line if you have a tip for me or if you need advice =]. Bye for now!
