Well, I might as well make my workbook now. I will post my dream signs, reality checks, meditations, and dreams.
I'll start posting my dreams tomorrow.
Known dream signs (as of now)-
Bathrooms
My House
My Family
Anything Sexual (Seriously. I mean ANYTHING.)
Dream 1: I woke up at 2AM. I went to bed with a mantra of "I will wake up after every dream." I went to bed at 11:30PM. Anyway, I do not remember the dream, but I think it may have to do with Harry Potter, because I was thinking about Quidditch (sp?). Then again, I was thinking about Harry Potter for three days, so, that may have caused a dream about it.
Dream 2: I may have had a False Awakening. I woke up, and it said 2AM. I layed back down for a second, and the clock now said 2:30AM. I may have fallen asleep and woke up, or it was a False Awakening.
Dream 3: Old Friends (Non-lucid)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
I don't remember how this started off, but it was as if I was watching a video of my two friends, Keith and Steven, on a ladder. They climbed down it to the area below, to pee in a creek. All of a sudden, a strange liquid was squirted at them. Most of it was squirted at Steven. It was a skunk! The began to climb up the ladder, watching the skunk try to get them. It couldn't, so it ran away.
I somehow appeared at the bottom of the ladder, and they were down there too. We were talking about how we never see each other anymore, and we come to the creek. I asked if the skunk is still here, but they said it went the other way. I believed them. I went into the creek, and all of a sudden, they were gone.
My friend Kyle was there, though. So we walked through the creek, and got to the other side. We talked a little bit, and my feet were muddy. We were going to his house. I told him I'll take my shoes off outside so th einside does not get muddy. We walked to his backyard, and there were these old ladder things. He said we used to play on them as kids. You can even slide down it. He climbed up his and went inside, and I tried to climb up. My head wouldn't fit! So, I slid down. We decided we would go in through the front.
When we got ot the front yard, we saw a group of Indians walking away from the door, and going to the next house over. They were singing at the door! Then, a group of people from Jenova's Witness came over to his door and started knocking on it. We walked two houses over, and somehow broke into someone else's house.
I locked the door, and looked out the peep hole. There, my friend's sister, Kristen, came up to the door. I opened it for her. My aunt and uncle were behind her. I explained that we needed to be there. My aunt and uncle were worried, but I told them I knew these people. I did not see my friend, Kailey, or Kyle again.
All of a sudden, my mom and a lot of people were at the house. We were having a party because two people from America's Got Talent were there. There was someone who I thought I knew, and then there was a person named Cole. He said that he was in the fourth group, meaning the judge's pick him. I asked a person if the three other people have been chosen. He said no, because everyone finds out ahead of time. I knew this was a dream, because I never seen Cole on America's Got Talent. I instantly lost control.
After we partied inside, we partied outside. Since my grandma's house was across the street, I decided to go there. When I was crossing the street, I thought of posting a piece of paper on myself telling people to remind me to get my shoes at Kyle's. My cousin Jeannine got to my grandma's when I got there. I asked her if she wanted to go on the computer to see an amazing act from America's Got Talent, Anna and Patryk. She said no. When I walked inside, a cake was being made. It was an Oatmeal Pecan Cake. It looked gross. My other aunt said that it was not done yet.
Dream 4: I was in my house with my cousin, looking for food. He stayed in the kitchen that resembled my grandpa's kitchen. I stayed in my kitchen that resembles the kitchen in my house. I looked where the pop-tarts are, and I saw Cinnamon flavored ones. I was a little curious, because I knew we did not have Cinnamon ones. I took two out and microwaved them. They were shaped like spades.
When I finished microwaving mine, Kyle said he wanted two. I began to eat mine when his were being made. Once his were finished heating up, mine were eaten all the way. I put a variety of dipping sauces on his plate, and gave them to him. He ate 1, left a mess on the plate, and left it in MY kitchen. All of a sudden, my parents walked in.
(This is where things got really weird. I think I was half awake, half asleep here.)
My parents began yelling at me for leaving a mess. Everything was really blurry for me, and I was extremely tired. This is exactly how I feel right when I wake up. Right then, I woke up.
Dream ?: This dream could have been before or after any of them. I remembered it when I was writing this post. I was at a car store, and I decided to try out this cool motorcycle van. It was hard to steer, and I could hardly park it. I managed to, when someone pointed out the kickstand was broken. I told them I was able to take it for a test ride, so I did not actually buy it. I think I stole it. All of a sudden, I was in Universal Studios with my mom. We were walking ad had a full day planned. My cousins were coming too! I told her I had to leave early to return the motorcycle. She said I can leave after we watch this one show... that I think ends at 10PM.
We walked through a buffet, and I saw my grandpa, my great uncle Ernie, my great aunt Alice, and someone else who I forgot. I said hi to them. That's all I could remember.
Dream ?: I may have had a scary dream. When my alarm woke me up, I jumped in fear. I usually calmly get up.
Meditation: I did not meditate.
Reality Checks: Nose-Pinch
Mantra: I will wake up after each dream.
Number of times woken up: About 3 or 4.
I decided I will also post my waking journal on here, so you get to hear about my amazingly boring life.
The morning started out normal. I came onto DV, and was on it for about 5 hours. I decided to have a brunch, so I made myself a bagel, and then I had one slice of pizza. It seemed like a suffiecent breakfast and lunch. I went back downstairs to play Transformice and go on DV. I took a shower, and I was singing The Man Who Can't Be Moved in it. I love that song. I then decided to watch A Very Potter Musical. For dinner, I had a burger. It was only until after I ate it that I realized it may have been bad. I was worried about getting sick. Luckily, I didn't. At 5PM, I logged onto the DVA IRC. I couldn't wait for the MILD-1 course! Too bad I got on 4 hours early! I went upstairs and watched last night's episode of AGT. Everyone did amazing. I was on DV for a long time, and then the class came. I loved it. Percy is an amazing teacher.
After the class, I went upstairs to watch the AGT results show (Which I recorded). The first act to make it through was Murray! I was so happy. I wanted him through. The next act was between some people, Lindsey Sterling (I love her), and Taylor Matthews. I wanted Lindsey to go through, but Taylor did. He was really good though, so I did not mind. The third act to make it through was Prince Poppycock. I didn't like the other two acts, and he sings amazing opera. The last act was between some stupid electric guys and Anna and Patryck. I really wanted them to go through, but the judges vote for the elctric dudes (Except for Piers. He voted for Anna and Patryck!). It really pissed me off! They will be famous. I know it! I'm going to meditate and then sleep. Bye bye!
Woohoo good job on your workbook!
Before bed, I was extremely positive. I listened to an 8 minute long binaural beats track (that felt like it was 1 minute long for some reason), and repeated my mantra in my head (I will do a RC in my dream and become lucid). I actually felt extremely positive.
Oddly, I couldn't remember any dreams last night. Of course, when I start a course I forget everything. When I woke up at 4AM, I oddly couldn't stop thinking about Voldemort from Harry Potter. Whenever I am waking up at 4AM, I think of something from Harry Potter.
It's time for me to step it up a notch. Every hour, for 3-5 minutes straight, I am going to repeat a mantra out loud (I will alternate every hour. One will be the one stated before, and one will be "I will remember my dreams".) I laid in bed for 30 minutes, so I don't know. Nothing was on my mind. Then when falling asleep, I will do the mantra I said last night.
Something must've caused me to forget my dreams. I was doing fine the past week. But then again, this was my first time in a while listening to the beats. Maybe I will just do some breathing exercises instead. :/
your making more progress in your workbook than me. i better get started!
Lol. Nah. My other posts were before class started, except my waking journal, and when I said I HAD NO DREAMS LOL :D
Nevermind. I am blaming masturbation for it. :P
Nice job!
I love False Awakenings. If you get use to them, its a freeway to lucidity. I think 90% of the times that I have a False Awakening, I turn lucid :)
Tip: Every time you open your eyes (even if you dove in the pool, or yawned, or woke up during the night do a Reality Check. Should be the very first thing you must do (if you dove in the pool you are allowed to breath first) Make sure you do this all the time. Try to close your eyes for a few seconds during different times of the day and do the proper RC afterward
When you "awake" from a FA you will do the reality check and turn lucid.
I like to use them in this order:
1st - Check your hands. This is from Carlos Castaneda's Shaman and is the most efficient one. On dream is has a 95% rate of failure. (with failure I mean the RC will fail and you will turn lucid)
2nd - If not satisfied, pinch your nose.
3rd - I use this one regardless of failure or not on the previous RCs. Gravity test. Just jump.
These are my top three RCs. They never fail. The hand check failed, except for one time that my hands looked OK. I pinched my nose and it failed. Pinching nose failed, but not always. Gravity test always failed, but I feel you need to be a little aware on this one, it might fail but still not turn you lucid, the hand check is the way to go.
I stay with the nose pinch one. I always see my hands in my dreams, and they are always normal. :(
I guess my order will be nose pinch, jump, and then finger through hand. I'm excited. I know I will have a lucid dream tonight! I can feel it. I know I had one last night... I just forgot it.
Ouch! That is harsh! You will need to work a little in recall then :) Is harder to forget lucid dreams, so make sure you write everything you can remember every single time you wake up to work on your recall. Good job on your lucid then, stay excited knowing that you will lucid dream and recall it.
No, I don't need work on my recall. I actually read about how masturbation effects dream recall... and guess what I did that night. xD
Mmmm this is kind of topic but I do not think that you recall gets affected by it. At least, I had sex with my wife many times during night and my recall was OK. In fact, so many books about lucid dreaming advice to have sex during a wake back to bed... Masturbation will screw you recall only if you believe it... so forget that, masturbate tonight if you feel like to and assume you will recall your dreams and/or turn lucid. You will see it has nothing to do.
Different strokes for different folks. It depends on the person. I read about that study TODAY. And that was the only different thing I did compared to last week. My recall was fine until that. :P
Oh well. It doesn't matter. I will remember my dreams tonight, and I will remember my MILD. :D
Waking Journal 2:
I woke up, and couldn't recall any dreams. This made me sad, yet, it made me even more motivated for tonight. With every failure comes an even greater success, I guess. :P
I went on the IRC, and talked to dakotah for a long time. I stayed on, then started talking to zebrah. Ah, the conversations we had. I didn't really do much. I stayed on DV all day, had spaghetti for dinner, and went on the irc even longer. I am really excited to MILD tonight.
I watched an episode of NCIS, then I decided to type this rather bland waking journal. I'll be looking up LD stuff for 15 minutes, then going to meditate, and then lucid dream! G'night!
Hmm i guess you could blame that.
Or you could blame Percy. Think about it Your first class and also the first night you lost dream recall in a week. hmmm. lol just kidding Percy your a great teacher!!
PS i can call you percy right? lol
No. You have to call him Mr. Percy. :P
I remembered quite a long dream, a decent sized dream that was really vivid, and a... a.... well, read on, and you will see. :P
Dream 1: I was at some airport. I was on some pathway at it, and the pathway was floating. I looked down off the pathway, and I saw a dead hooker. I think she looked like the magician's assistant on America's Got Talent. No, she isn't. Something is different. It was night time. I walked to the airport terminal, but I decided not to go in. I walked back down the path, and there was the hooker walking next to me, and her killer in front of me. I knew something was different about her. She had black hair, and she was African American. She even randomly told me.
The killer was black, too. He wore a jacket, and some hat. It was gray. At least, I think. It was dark, so I may be wrong. It could've been another color. The hat was made of leather. I decided to avenge the hooker, so I pushed the killer off of the path, and he died. She was shocked that I would do something like that. I told her that she had to do me a favor, and walk home with me, because I was afraid to walk home alone.
She said okay, as it was only three to four miles away. We walked, but didn't say much to her. The first two or three miles was fine. She was gone. I guess she ditched me. I was walking along the side of the building, where a creepy guy with an afro was following me. The building happened to be a gas station, that looked almost exactly like my Quick Chek. There was nothing in the store, except the stuff used to hold all of the food. It made me angry, so I went home.
I don't remember walking home. It was as if I appeared at home. I don't know what type of pants I was wearing, but I had a white shirt on. In fact, the five other people had a white shirt on to. I think four of them were girls, and one was a guy. We were in my kitchen, but my kitchen counter was gone. We had a ball, and decided to throw it to each other, but everyone had to throw it differently. I threw it normally to the first girl. She then kicked it to the next girl. The next girl had to throw it backwards to the guy.The guy then had to throw it lightly to the girl. I don't remember how she throws it to the last girl. Anyway, on the way back, the kicking girl somehow starts to run and seems to fall down the stairs, yet she is still running. It made me laugh.
Dream 2: My dad was in my grandpa's bathroom with some person and me, trying to figure out who certain celebrity was. I think she had some connection to the hooker in my previous dream. Anyway, I took out my laptop from my pocket, I started to search up this celebrity. She had blonde hair. I went on Facebook, and sent my dad a link to the last movie the celebrity was in. I told him I made a mistake, and sent a link on Marie Boone (Is she real? I don't know.). I then sent the link of the correct celebrity. Her last name began with a C. The dream ended.
False Awakening: I woke up, and my clock was blank. I didn't care, I thought it was because I was tired. I looked at my pillow, and saw a bug, or something weird on it. Normally, even if tired, I would freak out. Instead, I flipped over my pillow, and tried to fall asleep. (I guess it was difficult to fall asleep since I was asleep?)
There was a fourth dream I almost remembered, but I couldn't. Once I started writing, I forgot about it.
I think a dream sign that may be showing up is America's Got Talent.
With every failure, an even greater success draws near.
So, tonight will be the day for my MILD. Yesterday night, I was so excited, I was talking to myself. I am afraid to see what the excitement is going to do to me today. :P
Before bed, I was reading everyone's lucid dreams, just to make me excited about it. My mantra was "I dream lucid". I did five minutes of breathing exercises.
Now tonight will be my lucid dream! I am coming, unicorn!
Feelings:
When I went to bed, I was excited and positive.
When I woke up at 2:30 AM, I was surprised because I woke up on my own. :P
When I woke up in the morning, I was tired and tired. :P
Excellent report. This is how I want to see these workbooks going on. You had a few close calls there, the bug in your pillow and your False Awakening. Excellent job! Do not stress about it... it takes a little time but you are definitely on track.
Do not think about unicorns thought, at least, not for now please. Just focus on lucid dreaming!
I didn't post a waking journal! Basically, I was at my grandma's house because my cousins were over from NY. I got home at around midnight.
See, with going to bed late, I forgot to set my alarm for a WBTB. I tend to have a better recall then.
Wait! Now I get it! I did not even set my alarm the day of the first class, so I did not WBTB!
WBTB usually gives me a much higher recall.
When I went to bed, I was tired. Not positive. Not negative. Just extremely tired. I also did not meditate.
When I woke up in the morning, I was confused. :P
Ok, I will WBTB tonight. That will be better for me. :P
Ok! Time for good news!
I remembered a dream from last night or two nights ago. I remember I was talking with my mom, and I had an opportunity to test out this new gum.
Waking Journal:
I did stuff today! Waking up and going on DV is normal. Then me, Taco, HS, and Indeed made a breakfast group. It somehow turned into a dessert group. There were a lot of sexual references. I then talked to Taco, and we drew up some plans and all. Some guy came and told us about these two warring factions. I think I may sense some BS. :P
My sister and I went to her friends house, and then we went out to eat with her friend's brother and the brother's wife. He was weird. We ate at Friday's. Later, we went to there house. I would talk more, but I am off to bed to have a LD! G'night!
I remembered two dreams. I woke up at 4AM to do a WBTB, but I could not fall asleep. I kept tossing and turning every minute.
Dream 1: I was at a fair with my sister, and we rode El Toro. (all i remember)
Dream 2: Me, my sister, and her friend Julia were near this shack. A guy lived there, and he hated the dog. We went through this shed, which cost 469 dollars. We were near some mud, and watched the video of me and my sister on El Toro. We somehow appeared where we started, so we walked back to the mud. We walked through it, but Julia accidentally kicked a lot of mud up and onto my sister. I laughed, and woke up.
I would've had a lucid dream, but I started WBTB and COULD NOT complete it.
I am going to the doctor's on Monday or Friday, because I been having abdominal pains. I hope nothing is seriously wrong!
I just saw Inception. again! The movie was amazing, again!
I would post a waking journal, but I am too tired to do so.
Basically, I drew some 3-D art for the Paradiso DV HQ, then saw Inception. xD
Remember to post feelings / focus / happiness. Post if you meditated or not.
Keep up focused and positive!
I always meditate and am happy. If otherwise, I would post so.
When I woke up today, I was mad. There were two reasons for this. The first reason was I did not wake up from my alarm to do a WBTB.
My second reason was MY DREAM.
I was on Dream Views, reading a thread by Mzzkc. The thread was about stupid ways people miss becoming lucid. I was reading his post, and I laughed. I then proceeded to say "He should do reality checks more often, like me." I woke up after reading five pages of the thread.
:/
