MILD-1 Newtz1995's Workbook

Here's my workbook for the MILD-1 class. I'm stoked to get started :D

21st September
Mood: I was pretty happy with all that I remembered and the day before I felt quite alright, was a little bit tired when I went to sleep.
Before Bed: I listened to a subliminal lucid dream mp3 and meditated to it with the thought of lucids on my mind. I then repeated the mantra 'I wil remember my dreams, until I fell asleep (will use I Lucid Dream form now on).
Vampire's Lair
In this dream I was in a 30mx30m 'map' with bush off to the side on one edge pf the map were some vampires just hanging around near their 'lair'. I remember creeping around the side of the map behind bushes and readying myself to attack one of them. I had a sharp object but I don't remember what it was. I attacked one of them and remember stabbing one at least 4 times but the bastard wouldn't go down[1]. he knocked me onto my back and fell onto me, driving a serrated pipe into my throat, splattering blood all over a 'screen' [2]. The dream faded.
[1]: This vampire was like Jasper Cullen of Twilight except he had short hair like in 'The Last Airbender. This is because I was watching The Last Airbender and I remember trying to think of who one of the actors was because I'd seen him elsewhere. I figured out he was Jasper.
[2]: This was very 'game-like' and made no sense in reality.

The Plastic Slide Course Thing
There was a giant course made out of plastic open slides that you would find in a kids playground except they were used to run on and weren't used as actual slides[1]. There was massive green fields and then mountains in the background and I remember everybody trying to follow the slide-course thing to a man that would shoot of two rockets when everybody reached him. The rockets looked like large sparklers and first circled and then shot straight up. Me and my friend Kim[2] just reached him as he set off two. I then talked to my dad and he said he was going somewhere and I wanted him to come with me into a teleporter which would take everyone up to another place but he couldn't because he had some other stuff to do. Oprah was with him [3].
[1]: I have no clue were this idea came from.
[2]: Day residue, I hang out with him sometimes.
[3]: Day residue, I remember watching the News and Oprah was on it.

23rd September
Mood: Average
Before bed: I listen to the same MP3 and thought of my dreams and what I'd like to dream about, then I repeated 'I lucid Dream' now and then.
Late To Work
I was in the cinemas where I work and I checked my watch and it read 5:34 [1]. I realized that I still had to get home, ready for work, and then get back in time by 6. I absolutely sprinted outside where my mum was waiting in the car outside[2]. I looked into the car and told her I had to be at work in 25 minutes and looking confused she said 'no you don't.' and for some reason I instantly believed her. But then she remembered it was Friday and told me to quickly jump in[3]. I opened the front passenger seat where dad was sitting and, ignoring him, climbed over into the back. All the backseat spots were taken however, so I had to sit next to grandma on the far left, without a seat belt. Mum said 'we won't get caught, don't worry'. I then sat down and just talked to grandma[4] and we were talking about a singer or something. I don't know who the other two passengers in the backseat were though. one may have been my brother.
[1]: Day residue. I usually start work at 6pm, so I check my watch before i leave so I can leave home at 5:40
[2]: Day residue, I'm almost always picked up in that car.
[3]: Day residue. I had work this Friday.
[4]: Day residue. mum told me Grandma was coming up on friday so this transferred over into my dream.
I had a fragment also were I wore a special suit like in a video game and I was jumping up and down really high.

Keep up the good work.

I love the way you are working on this, excellent!

Remember to keep positive and focused on lucidity and do not forget the DO(s) and DONT(s) before going to bed ;)

I dont know what's wrong but I haven't been able to recall any dreams in the last few days :(

I had a small fragment of me turning into a lion and eating someone :P. But when I wake up I remember lots of my dreams but as soon as I regain conciousness they go so quickly!! grr, frustrating! I hope tonight will change things around :D

Mood: Usually sleepy the last few nights and I gotta start getting more sleep but with my exercise and working out I've been needing ALOT of sleep this holidays.
Before Bed: Same as usual for the last few nights, Audio subliminal and then the mantra, still not remembering much AT ALL though.

I think I've gotten into a new stage of my dreaming. I pictured a non-lucid dream I had become lucid in my head and repeated my mantra 'I lucid dream' and sometimes during the night I remember waking up and then kept hold of my dream, and tried to enter back into it lucidly. I just wasn't able to quite get the whole way back into the dream though. It is a significant milestone though, I almost was able to DEILD.

4th October
This is the closest I've gotten to lucid dreaming. I am extremely close to it and I know it'll be a matter of just a few days before it happens. If I wasn't tipsy that night I might have even gotten the lucid dream this night.

Anyway in my dream I was in a shopping mall and my mum went of to get groceries, so I decided to walk around the place a little. Soon enough some weird exotic street dancers danced towards me and I thought I'd join them so I started to do the wave, but then I was sad because I couldn't do anything else, so I moved on. Then I thought to myself 'That was strange, what if I was dreaming? So I did a quick reality check and tried to poke my finger through my palm and nothing happened, so I moved on. Then an old lady walked by doing really strange movements passed me and so I questioned reality once gain and looked at watch. I noticed nothing strange so i walked on. That's all i remember. This is great because I believed it was reality but I questioned it twice and did reality checks, it was a shame that they passed. My technique is working.

Okay, So over the last few days I've been having 'issues'. I havn't been waking up in my REM or just can't remember anything.
My technique is still the subliminal MP3, concentrating on my mantra and vizualizing myself realizing that I was dreaming and so on. In the last two days however, I have been able to remember my dreams, but they're nowhere near what I vizualize before I sleep and aren't lucids.

10th October
I remembered two dreams, which is good. I woke up at around 4 and 'attempted' a WBTB. But I didn't really have a technique yet :P (do now of course). So I had two fairly vivid non-lucids by 7am. I didn't meditate but will soon.

So, how is it going these days?

I'm sorry I have been inactive, I've had some things on my mind lately...
I haven't made much progress, but I have been able to dream about the scene that I have been incubating.
