Thread: Shadowmilo's Student Workbook

Mhmm.

Ok.

Actions Prior To Bed Time:
TV for 30 minutes - Watching UFC 7.
Computer browsing for 30 minutes - Rims for my car (Is a MAJOR thought right now) Whilst having this annoying GEMLUV song stuck in my head.
Create a post in my workbook (This post)

Future Actions Prior To Bed Time:
Map out what i wish the dream about.
Concentrate and clear the mind so that i am focusing on my dream.
Do a brief meditation thinking of what im going to dream.


Objectives:
Will create a dream layout.
Will carry out the dream layout, hopefully only focusing on that.
Will WBTB at 4:30/5:00 and read a few posts, and then really focus on my dream layout. Will stay up for a total of 30 minutes.
Will go to sleep really thinking of this dream layout, hopefully.




Dream plan:

First i will imagine that i am at home, possibly in the living room to avoid false awakening. I will then proceed to really mold out my surroundings, really feel that they are real. Then i will walk up to my neighbour's home. I will enter, and find Jessica, a female crush, and...... improvise. I will then walk down the street and feel that my town is abandoned. I will search for my dream guide, and if i find my DG, i will ask questions probably a limit of 5, that i have been wanting to ask for some time now.
Then i will explore my high school, and trash the place, possibly using fire abilities to burn it also. Then take my Gemini for a spin in the abandoned town, and act like im in fast and the furious and drive recklessly.
From here on i plan to improvise.


I will post in the morning how i went. Although at the moment of typing this, i have negative thoughts and dont think i will achieve these, i plan to change to a positive attitude while meditating.


Cheers.

Well... One of the best plans I have ever seen! Excellent job. How it went?

Meditating is crucial and has a ton of benefits (we will go over this soon)

Yes well, NONE of it went too plan. I think i was far too stressed and far too many thought sin my head to deal with.

This is what happened:



Objectivies Completed:
Will create a dream layout. Completed.
Will carry out the dream layout, hopefully only focusing on that. Uncompleted.
Will WBTB at 4:30/5:00 and read a few posts, and then really focus on my dream layout. Will stay up for a total of 30 minutes. Uncompleted.
Will go to sleep really thinking of this dream layout, hopefully. Completed.



So basically i went to bed, have a 5minute clear my head type of session, this was very difficult, songs are the worst i only have to hear a few notes for a song and its stuck for the day.
I read out my plan in my head to myself, while TRYING to perform it real-time in my head. Once i did that, i did it three more times getting faster and faster (as i dont have alot of patience)
Then for about 5minutes i talked to myself, trying to put a positive spin on everything, like, 'Percy said the more i think positive the more it'll happen.'
'I can do this, this isn't hard, i can do this'
'There isnt any reason why i cant do this'
'I will lucid dream, the dream i made tonight'

Things like that. SO i did go to bed thinking of what i had done. Now:

Because it is very hot were i live, its hard for me to get sleep at this time, but anyway. I went to sleep, was tossing and turning all night, and i woke at about 4:00, i had set my phone alarm for 5:00.
I rolled off my bed, and just stood there, and thought...... HELL NO. And decided to go back to sleep, but reliving the dream again twice before hand. (I decided at that point i was FAR too tired to stay up, having tried to WILD for the past 3 nights. )

But none of it happened, and i got to say this is probably the top 10 F#$%ED up dreams ive ever had, it was just the craziest shit i'd ever done. Now normally my dreams are VERY vivid, and i remember them, (usually the ones where i get chased, which is wierd) but this one was all of the shop, i can only remember very small fragments, and i think some of it was at my high school, which should be a dream sign as i havent gone there in 2 years. But i think i was just so stressed my body and mind was like, HELL NO, we need REST TO recooperate. So, nothing i could do. I think throughtout it, i kept seeing a bald man, and a skull, and me needing a haircut, or something, like these were things that kept popping up or something, you know things you take notice of all the time, and are just wierd. I dont know, wierdest top 10 ive had, but anyway.

So there you have it.
Tonight might be different as i may not cloud my brain with Car rim and black ops stress. We'll see how i go. ;D

Well, no problem! You need to incubate the dream more properly and I will tell you how on next class!

Also, please share you daily focus, feelings, etc. Also, what you have done before going to sleep.

I HAD 50% SUCCESS!!!, im going to cut it all short, as im not in the mood to write a story lol, but basically i sorta did 50% of the dream layout i created. On the second night i went through it once, in my head, although half way through i got sidetracked and had to bring the rest of it back to my attention. now heres where it gets interesting.

I became lucid last night, the first dream i recall, i controlled fire, which is a positive t yeah became lucid but lost it alittle after if i recall. Then the next dream i remember was my layout!!
I remember becoming lucid and i was in the living room (the first step) and felt the wall, and remember thinking (take it all n), which in my head is what i planned to do when running myself through it, feel the wall. But i must admit i think this was a 3/4 lucid, as i dont htink alot of my logic was turned on, and i had my little bumps. I went outside, i remember walking up the hill to my nieghbours (step 2), or rather, jumping, (like the movie Jumper), but saw a little kid outside his house, near theirs, and immediately lost focus that i was going to my neighbours house.
So then i went on to step 4, and SORT OF did step 5, as you see, my town was NOT abandoned, and i was afraid to yell out, dream guide, come out. i dont know why though?
Then i skipped my school trashing entirely (when i went through it in my mind, i thought to myself i didnt really wanna do it anyway, so i think thats why i skipped it) and went straight to me and my car.

Your right about the camero driving thing, in my car i remember grabbing the steering wheel and i was off, didnt even check the shift or anything. And from that point i lost control, as i was being 'chased' which as you know, is very very common in my dreams. (Wish i could make it a positive known dreamsign )

So yeah.

Go me. Lol.


EDIT: Oh wow i kind did write a story, xD lol. P.s this was all without a WBTB aswell.

Well done dude!!!!

I am sure the technique I will teach tomorrow will work awesomely for you! Great job!

I hope so, hey btw you somehow sent a pm like 30mins b4 or an hour before the IRC class, which was great as i have no idea my time when it starts, if you could do that again, it'd be awesome?

Day Space:
Most of the day i spent my time digital painting a WIP im working on, so that was taking up most of my thoughts, i played alittle cod, and browsed the web abit, and also did a small amount of gardening. Apart from the IRC chat there was no lucid topic going on in my brain today.

Actions Prior To Bed Time:
TV for 60 minutes - Watching The Haunted, probably not a good idea, im fucking scared atm.
Computer browsing for 30 minutes -Just browsing emails youtube and stuff, ill also look up plenty of beach images for my Tot...class?.
Create a post in my workbook (This post)

Future Actions Prior To Bed Time:
Map out how im going to dream my task.
Concentrate and clear the mind so that i am focusing on my task.
Do a brief meditation thinking of how im going to task.
I will imagine i am REALLY where im going to dream about.
Will use the chest key lock method to calm my thoughts, lock them away and focus on my objective.
Ill then use some positive reinforcement before tiring and falling asleep. All the while focusing on my task.


Objectives:
Will create the beach scene in my mind.
Will carry out the beach task of the class, and focus on it with all my lucid logic.
Will go to sleep really thinking of this beach task




Dream plan:
I will become lucid, and at that exact moment, i will use my sense of touch feeling the sand in and around my toes. I will focus mainly on the smell of the salty sweet air, and the sounds of the beautiful calm waves lapping along the ground and the just off shore bird calls. (I focus mainly on these as i dont normally smell and listen.)
To become FULLY lucid and make my surrounding as real as possible, i will drop to the ground, and i will (yes) literally lick the sand, taste the salty texture. (Ofc im no where near a beach so im definitely dreaming.)
Ill then forget about the sand in my mouth as if it isnt there, and look down at the gorgeous scene infront of me.
20 metres ahead the water start, and just above it on the horizon is a beautiful display of orange and pink lighting of a late sunset.
I will walk do the ending path into the open plain, getting closer with each stride, and approach a log that sits in the middle of this hidden cove.
There, sitting staring into the sunset, is a female silhouette.

From here on, its fair game.

Blam.

Also share with me your incubations, chest tech and visualizations!

Well, i would but the last 2 nights i havent slept, ssooo :/
Its like 90 degrees F here.... ssooo yeah. Im getting a fan this arvo, so thatll help with white noise and comfort.

Ok well. Unfortunately i waited a full 12 horus before typing what i dreamed about, i think when i woek up i remembered 4 dreams, see how we go now
I did put the beach image in my mind again as i went to sleep... But i just wanted a good nights sleep, so thats where it went.
So i have no idea which order these went in, or what dream it was but this is what i can remember i believe.

Oh and before i start, i am 90% positive now i dream with knowing i am dreaming, just i dont have control and just idle through it, idk why. Need more practice.

Anyways.

So. I was with these two girls, who are the popular ones when i was at school and we were outside K-mart (a store in australia) but it was how it used to be like, 8 years ago. I was lucid the whole way through as i said, i am constantly saying to myself, 'just do it its a dream anyway' without gaining control. But it this point i did gain control for a minute, but i NEVER remember to do a stablise the dream, so i lose control after a minute, but stay lucid for the rest of the dream.

Basically we were walking around, bought some stuff, when outside, got in their car, and... (it got frisky) But i should of stablised it in the store(when i became lucid) as im sur eif i did it properly, i would gain full clarity and 100% control, when i dont even attempt it, i have vivid, but not insanely vivid lucids, with 50% control.
Anyways, that was that...

Uh what else, im seriously hoping i remember the other stuff i dreamed of too

Damn it, ive done too much today to remember. Bummer but im sure i remembered 4 dreams, as thats what i said to myself as i woke up.


I must read the stabling your dream tut on the wiki that zebrah, in his class, told me too read.

SUCCSESSSSSSSSS, well, to some extent.
I think i actually had my first WILD last night....

Ok, so the same went for sleep last night, i just wanted to sleep, get some rest, re-cooperate. But i DID read the dream stablization tutorial, and did a small mantra before bed, saying i will stop, relax, and focus when i get lucid.

Anyways, nothing really happened, but i ended up waking up at 5:30. And i had to turn my fan off, as it was creating dust, blocking my nose etc. And then i decided, im going to try to WILD, or MILD, i honestly didnt care which.

So i tried and tried, just trying to keep my eyes still, keep my body relaxing, and my mind on going to sleep, i got many a waves of SP, but as i do that my mind things it the perfect opportunity to swallow purposely, and then the SP leaves
Anyways, so for trying for awhile, at one stage i dont know why but, oohh yes i do, i was talking to some girls in an unfocused day dream as i was trying to WILD, and aman came up sying, who did it. Immediately we all said 'she did it' and my mind clicked, like this was a bad man, and my body went into meltdown, its like SP but when your scared shitless, like after waking up from a horrible nightmare quickly.
Anyways, it was after that i think i WILDED!!!! I then dreamed about being at this art museum we have here in my town, only it was turned into this mall/market thing, but like some kind of space age thing, with glowing light sand all. I met up with my mate who i havent seen in, ikd howo long. He wanted to know if i had a nintendo 64, xD, he asked my on Facebook one day cause he wanted one. Thats why.

Anyways, i lost lucidity, and became awake. And i remember the tutorial saying always do a RC..... NOW, listen here!! This is nuts, idk why i did it, but i did, even though i didnt think i had the energy, i plugged my nose, and WOW, to my surprise i really could breathe through it!!! i checked twice in disbelief.

Last night, i had 3 false awakenings, 2 that i checked, but both of which, when i went to open my eyes in the false awaken (they were shut as i thought i was in bed trying to wild again, and also to my amazement the clock in the dream was EXACTLY the time it was when i wok eup) i opened my real eyes also. I then performed an RC to check... I was awake...


So WOW, big night. I think this is what happens every night but i just dont have enough experience to catch it.

Hey guys, so last night i dreamed about:

me and my sister were in a mall, but its a kind of fantasy mall type thing, the scenery always changes, and its a mixture of ALOT of stuff, but i have already dreamed about this place before, several time sin the past maybe 10 years, its quite interesting.... Anyway, so this time, yes, AGAIN me and my sister were being chased, and we had this ability to teleport to home'HQ' and to this fantasy mall place. First we were in the mall, it was abandoned and we were walking around exploring it, and then these people came from nowhere and took us to their HQ cause it wasnt safe at the time we were there. bu twe had a bad feeling they were bad people, so all we were trying to do was get to a safe place we could teleport back to the mall, but when we do so we burst into a giant light of white, so they could see us doing it, so we had to get somewhee we couldnt see it. We ran away, and went to this farm/car impound lot kind of thing, and in in this car, which in the dream was like a room in a house lol.They found us (as they would, they are a made up character in my mind lol) so we had on other choice but to teleport, and they followed us, we had a few minutes to roam, and we were pulled back to another HQ. It was different, this was a white house, and looked like in the middle of a dry harsh dryed out desert sort of place, and everyone were bad people...

Yeah, im probably forgetting a few details but, thats the jist of it.

Crazy, i know i dream really vivid dreams though when im really tied, like last night, went ot bed at 4am lol.

I love turning lucid from false awakenings! They are so cool!!!!
