Hello! I`ve been interested in Lucid Dreaming for a few year`s, but never did anything about it except read a few books. But then I had a few experiences with Sleep paralysis after a naps and my interest was rekindled. That was about 10 months ago. I`ve been struggling along on my own till I found this site a month ago. I can`t get on often, or for long, but I`de like to master I all can in relation to Lucid Dreaming. I`ve had 4 lucid dreams, 1 WILD and 3 DILDS. But only in the WILD did I have good control over myself. I`m looking to broaden my mind and awareness, as well as increase my dream recall and the overall experience. I`m looking forward to working with you! |

Any advice on what area I should focus on? where should I start with Homework? |

Welcome to the class. I assume you may need to go outside or something to find enough noise, but another answer is to provide a couple sounds. You can place a ticking clock in the room, or turn on a small fan in the next room, and so on. |

I`ve just had a good week WILD wise. I found time for a nap everyother day this week, and managed a WILD each time for a total of 4 dreams of decent leangth/quality. plus one DEILD when I got to excited during my a flight and lost the dream, but managed to get right back in. This is definately a high in LD`s in one week. This is the first time I got exhilerated during a flight to the point of waking. Which I take as an accomplishment, not a problem. I love that feeling now. I searched a little for a DG as well, but I`m taking a long term aproach to it. Maybe it won`t come till I`m ready, or maybe not until I find it. But I`m going to start looking. |

I am not sure there is a wrong way to work on diffuse vision, as long as it stretches your awareness into new ways of taking in information. The main goal is to be able to observe an object without the need to place the bulk of your mental intent on it. We tend to "zero in" on anything we look at. It is a great way to take in details from that object, but in sports and martial arts there is another type of vision. The use of diffuse vision is good for being able to take in your whole surrounding, and not limit your awareness to a single point. Also, the way it requires a new mind set drastically improves your ability to do WILD. In WILD you can not have your attention keep focusing in an intense way. The same way you must relax your tendancy to focus on one object visually, can be used to avoid the kind of mental intesity that prevents WILD from working. |

I haven't been on for awhile. I injured myself, moved half way across the world, and screwed up my sleep schedule. I have to get back into the habit of recording my dreams. Can anyone give me tips for getting back into Dream journaling? |

I have a question for you Sivason. I am thinking of taking up some form of yoga to improve my physical fitness and overall health. Is there one that ties well into What I am learning here in this class? |

You would find more realated exercises meditations in Chinese martial arts. Most yoga that you can learn in a studio will be mostly about bodily perfection. Just ask a couple places if you can watch a session. See if the instructor talks alot about breathing and includes a meditation session at the begining or end. As long as they teach breathing control and give you a touch on meditation, it will help. |

Had my first Lucid dream since coming back to America, a DILD. |
|
Well, I haven't been very active lately. The main problem is lack of motivation. I want to learn these skills, but I'm having trouble just doing them. Can someone give me some suggestions that have helped you stay focused? |
|
My opinion is that these skill I give here take many years to learn. You keep coming back to them any time you can remember, and a few minutes here and there, some times more than others. After YEARS you develop amazing abilities and can push lucid dreaming to a truely mystical level. |

Alright. I'm starting on lucid dreaming again. I got busy and let everything slip for the past year, but now I'm ready to give it another go. Wish me luck. I'm starting at the basic dream yoga skills and working my way up again |
