Thanks for the newb advice too. It's good to be reminded. Ive been really lazy recording my NLDs and I'm very distraught about forgetting my LD this morning.

Good stuff! Hope to hear a new one soon!

When you said that, it made me think of the commercial on late night TV for phone sex.

"I want to hear your voice...."


Er. Nevermind.

Glad you enjoyed it

Found it.

that was an interesting listen. Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this.

the bit about you and your BF talking about dreams in the car on the way to work was cool. I do this with my wife now and then, when we wake up we tell each other's dreams and we basically interview each other while doing it like...

"ok so I was there with a few people in a ruined old factory hall..."

"was ist daytime or nighttime?"

"it was dark inside, but outside it seemed to be day, albeit murky."

"do you remember who was with you?"

"no, not really. Sorry"

"how many people?"

"oh I think it was three people, yeah, three"


and at a point like this recall just comes rushing into my mind, it's spectacular!


"I remember, it was you and your dad. And a girl, but I don't know who that was"

"what color was her hair?"

etc...


that works so well. It has turned the recollection of dreams where I only imagined one picture or image or scene into full dreams.

She does not try to LD actively but still helps me in my progress, and thats lovely. It is a bit scary that she knows a lot about this and has given me a host of useful tips on this topic, and also bought me my first dream journal. She had awful nightmares in her youth and her mom taught her how to take control of scary situations in dreams, how to deliberately end a dream etc. So you can say she is a semi lucid dreamer I guess. She does not want to actively alter her dreams though, she wants them to keep their own plot and be a part of it. She also thinks that dreams are signs for your waking live, and she is really good at interpreting (or at least selling her interpreation to others ) dreams and what they might mean in their core.

Hey Djaxup, thanks for listening!

Yeah I know a couple people who really just use lucidity to end nightmares or just end a stressful dream in general. They just don't really want to turn dreams into a playground. And that's ok. We call them "our special people" and we still love them Nah but seriously, maybe having that much control over a dreamscape seems scary or intimidating, and folks would rather just watch. There were maybe 2 times in my life where I just woke up with this icky feeling, and I knew I was about to start a WILD but I vetoed it because my feels were just not right.
