[22:10] <@louie54> Hey Ice
[22:10] <Ice> Hi

[22:10] <zebrah> I asked him why he belived in cgod and he couldnt answer so he cried
[22:10] <@Serenity> religious brainwashings scare the fuck out of me =/
[22:10] <zebrah> yup
[22:10] <zebrah> me to
[22:10] <Kael^Seoras> he cried
[22:10] <zebrah> yup
[22:10] <PercyLucid> I once prayed in a lucid
[22:10] <PercyLucid> lol
[22:10] <Kael^Seoras> couldn't even say 'cause of faith or something?
[22:10] <PercyLucid> but
[22:10] <PercyLucid> just for the reason
[22:10] <zebrah> yup
[22:10] <Kael^Seoras> lol
[22:10] <@louie54> I still want to meditate in a lucid
[22:10] <PercyLucid> that I saw a user
[22:10] <@Serenity> or just... "because"
[22:10] <zebrah> he froze p and cried
[22:10] <PercyLucid> called Big and something else
[22:10] <Kael^Seoras> brb
[22:10] <zebrah> and retreated into his house to pray
[22:10] <PercyLucid> that wanted to pray in his lucid
[22:11] <PercyLucid> as his goal
[22:11] <PercyLucid> and I remembered his goal in my lucid and completed it
[22:11] <PercyLucid> lol
[22:11] <@louie54> Ok about that time
[22:11] <zebrah> lol
[22:11] <@Serenity> BigFan?
[22:11] <@louie54> But lets wait for Kael
[22:11] <PercyLucid> yep
[22:11] <PercyLucid> would that prayer count?
[22:11] <PercyLucid> lol
[22:11] <zebrah> yes
[22:11] <zebrah> prayer imo is a form of meditation
[22:11] <PercyLucid> but it was within a lucid
[22:12] <PercyLucid> was a dream player
[22:12] <PercyLucid> however
[22:12] <@louie54> I was about to meditate in a dream the other day but I got distratced by something else
[22:12] <PercyLucid> as concious as you are within a lucid
[22:12] <zebrah> I always liked praying, the feeling I got. Then I learned I get that same feeling from meditiation so I realised I never felt god
[22:12] <zebrah> lol
[22:12] <PercyLucid> I want to
[22:12] <zebrah> my ex-friend is literaly going to become a preist now
[22:12] <zebrah> after this
[22:12] <PercyLucid> do an AP from a lucid dream
[22:13] <PercyLucid> it said is easier
[22:13] <@louie54> Dire joined main DV
[22:13] <PercyLucid> and the processes smoother
[22:13] <zebrah> ok
[22:13] <@louie54> Should be here in about a min
[22:13] <@louie54> If he doesnt mess up

[22:20] <@Serenity> i forgot to stabilize
[22:20] <PercyLucid> I also had a DEILD
[22:21] <PercyLucid> but it was very weak
[22:21] <@louie54> Hey, you got a lucid
[22:21] <zebrah> My LD was at then end of a dream where a girl was about to kiss me and I said I know your not real
[22:21] <@louie54> Good or weak, it was something
[22:21] <@louie54> Progress
[22:21] <PercyLucid> one DEILD, one MILD (ToTM) and one DILD (dream sex)
[22:21] <zebrah> lol percy
[22:21] <PercyLucid> and I have a wife
[22:21] == Dire [
[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[22:21] <PercyLucid> I turned lucid
[22:21] <zebrah> rofl
[22:21] <@louie54> Welcome Dire
[22:21] <@Serenity> my problem with DEILDs is... i'm great at chaining and crap at remembering the lucidity part, lol
[22:21] <zebrah> not getting it enough?
[22:21] <PercyLucid> because I was having sex with other than my wife
[22:21] <@louie54> You didn't miss much, actually just started
[22:22] <@louie54> I think thats a good sign Percy
[22:22] <@louie54>

[22:22] <zebrah> lol
[22:22] <PercyLucid> yeah lol
[22:22] <zebrah> percy is she not giving it to you
[22:22] <@louie54> Have you had any lucids Dire?
[22:22] <PercyLucid> she does

[22:22] <zebrah> lol
[22:22] <@louie54> Anything you like to sharee?
[22:22] <Ice> mine was really plant-ILD... not DILD...
[22:22] <zebrah> lol ice
[22:22] <PercyLucid> lol
[22:22] <@louie54> Explain, Ice?
[22:23] <zebrah> weed louie
[22:23] <PercyLucid> drugs
[22:23] <zebrah> i think
[22:23] <PercyLucid> xD
[22:23] <@louie54> Oh.....
[22:23] <@louie54> I see lol
[22:23] <zebrah> lol
[22:23] <Dire> only a handful, but I haven't been trying for super long. My trouble seems to be in holding on to dreams after becoming lucid
[22:23] <zebrah> brb blow my nose
[22:23] <Ice> true) bought Calea zacatechichi and tried it first time and it worked
[22:23] <@louie54> Yeah apparantly, weed can hinder your dream recall
[22:23] <@louie54> I haven't done weed myself, but based on the posts I've seen, I wouldn't recommend it
[22:24] <zebrah> short term memory loss can be a side effect
[22:24] <zebrah> what is that ice?
[22:24] <PercyLucid> let's keep on topic

[22:24] <Ice> some african grass. you can google it
[22:24] <zebrah> ok
[22:24] <PercyLucid> he can give a plant class later if you guys like

[22:24] <PercyLucid>

[22:24] <zebrah> lol
[22:24] <Ice> yes that is another topic)

[22:25] <zebrah> lol kael is the odd one out
[22:25] <Kael^Seoras>

[22:26] <@louie54>
http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=65032
[22:26] <zebrah> Percy do you ever go to the arco arena
[22:26] <zebrah> sorry on topic
[22:26] <zebrah> nvm
[22:26] <Kael^Seoras> thanks
[22:26] <@Serenity> i tackled all of the tutorials when i first joined DV

[22:26] <@louie54> Ok so last time, I told you all that I would explain what I think is the most effective way of attaining lucidity
[22:26] <zebrah> yes
[22:26] <@louie54> For me atleast
[22:26] <PercyLucid> nope
[22:26] <zebrah> WBTB?
[22:26] <@louie54> You got it
[22:26] <zebrah>

[22:26] <zebrah> I know you to well
[22:27] <zebrah> (he adopted me a while back)
[22:27] <@louie54> Yeah
[22:27] <Kael^Seoras> wake back to bed
[22:27] <@louie54> I taught it to all my adoptees
[22:27] <Kael^Seoras> I was trying that about a year ago
[22:27] <Kael^Seoras> i conflicts a bit with school lol
[22:27] <@louie54> Have you had luck?
[22:27] <zebrah> I always just non lucid when I WBTB
[22:27] <zebrah> i conflicts a bit with school lol <-- yes
[22:27] <@louie54> Show of hands, how many of you attempted WBTB?
[22:27] <Kael^Seoras> I think it helped make my dreams much more vivid
[22:27] <PercyLucid> I triggered lucids with "WBTB"
[22:27] <zebrah> *shows hand*
[22:27] <Kael^Seoras> the semi-lucids I had were WBTBs
[22:28] <@Serenity> so, what do you do during your WBTB, louie?
[22:28] <PercyLucid> I use "" cuz I do not spend more than 5 mins awake
[22:28] <PercyLucid> or I might if I have dreams to write down
[22:28] <@Serenity> *hand*
[22:28] <@louie54> Ice?
[22:28] <@louie54> Well
[22:28] <@louie54> Hold on as I type it out
[22:28] <Dire> *hand*
[22:28] <zebrah> percy I create a mental map of the dream by associating deep keywords and then going back to sleep
[22:28] <zebrah> like if the dream was about sex then I remmber sex
[22:29] <zebrah> and It all floods back
[22:29] <@louie54> So sometimes I got up early to go take my girlfriend to school but I would have enough time to go back to sleep for about an hour
[22:29] <@louie54> I'm sure you all know that it means wake back to bed because it literally means that
[22:29] <Ice> did not try that WBTB
[22:29] <PercyLucid> then I tried one
[22:29] <PercyLucid> and I succeeded
[22:29] <zebrah> I have about 5 times
[22:29] <@louie54> It can be applied to WILD also
[22:29] <PercyLucid> drove my wife to work, 1 hour awake and wbtc
[22:30] <Kael^Seoras> isn't WBTB the most effective way to WILD
[22:30] <@louie54> So what is the best way to do this, you wonder?
[22:30] <Kael^Seoras> rather than trying to do it when you first go to bed?
[22:30] <@louie54> You can do it both ways, but it is recommended to do it during WILD
[22:30] <Kael^Seoras> early in the morning, right?
[22:30] <@louie54> Becaus edoing it while first going to sleep is too hard
[22:30] <@louie54> Anyway
[22:31] <@louie54> Here's how you all should be doing it
[22:31] <@louie54> Ready?
[22:31] <Kael^Seoras> yea
[22:31] <Dire> yeah
[22:31] <PercyLucid> go ahead
[22:31] <zebrah> yes
[22:31] <@louie54> OK!
[22:31] <@Serenity> yarp
[22:31] <@louie54> ahh
[22:32] <@louie54> Lost it
[22:32] <@louie54> Hold on
[22:32] <zebrah> damn lol
[22:32] <PercyLucid> lol
[22:32] <zebrah> is it in my PM?
[22:32] <Dire> bummer
[22:32] <@louie54> Yes
[22:32] <PercyLucid> that info must be in your brain
[22:32] <PercyLucid> lol
[22:32] <zebrah> want me to get it
[22:32] <@louie54> Yeah because I practiced often
[22:32] <@louie54> That would be good
[22:32] <zebrah> sec
[22:32] <@louie54> While you do that, I'll start
[22:33] <@louie54> You need an alarm and probably something to record your dreams like your dream journal
[22:33] <@louie54> If you use a computer, then just use a pen and a paper
[22:33] <zebrah> want me to post it right now louie
[22:33] <@louie54> Ok but little by little
[22:33] <PercyLucid> mmmm
[22:33] <@louie54> Remember
[22:33] <PercyLucid> teacher teacher

hands up!
[22:33] <zebrah> tell me when to start
[22:33] <@louie54> This is all me, what Z is posting
[22:33] <zebrah> yeah
[22:33] <@louie54> Percy, go
[22:34] <PercyLucid> how about if you wake up naturally?
[22:34] <PercyLucid> alarm clocks hurts recall dramatically to many people
[22:34] <PercyLucid> plus wifes/husbands that sleep with you

[22:34] <@louie54> If you can do that about an hour and a half to 2 hours in advance to your usual wake up time and have the motivation to do that technique
[22:34] <@louie54> Then that would be great
[22:35] <PercyLucid> yeah
[22:35] <PercyLucid> if I go to bed
[22:35] <PercyLucid> around 11 pm
[22:35] <PercyLucid> I always wake up around 2-3 am
[22:35] <zebrah> louie by bit by bit do you mean all at once in different posts
[22:35] <PercyLucid> write down dreams, go to the bathroom, drink water and go back to bed
[22:35] <PercyLucid> is it enough?
[22:35] <@louie54> Like maybe copy and paste a few sentences at a time instead of a huge paragraph for the class
[22:35] <@louie54> Well
[22:35] <zebrah> ok
[22:35] <@Serenity> if i do more than that, percy, i'm too awake

[22:35] <@louie54> I'll have Z tell ya hold
[22:36] <zebrah> Ok here we go... I perform a WBTB.
[22:36] <zebrah> First, I set my alarm for about an hour or 2 before I officially wake up for the day. I stay awake for about 15-20 minutes.
[22:36] <zebrah> During this time, I constantly ask myself if I'm dreaming and perform reality checks. I also think about what my goals are. For example, if I want to fly, I envision myself flying and what I want to do while I'm lucid.
[22:36] <zebrah> I also read through some of my favorite journal entrees. I go over some of my good lucids and remember how good it felt to be lucid.
[22:36] <zebrah> So basically, during the time I'm awake, I pretty much cram my mind with lucid dreaming so that way I'm bound to have one. It actually gives me around a 50/50 shot of success.
[22:36] <zebrah> Goals I feel are important because it gives you motivation. Do you have any goals? For now, it should be kept simple like flying. Then later once you are comfortable with attaining lucids, you can focus on bigger things.
[22:36] <zebrah> ^straight from the horses mouth
[22:37] <@louie54> Lol
[22:37] <zebrah> lol
[22:37] <Kael^Seoras> is meeting specific people a simple goal or would that be best put off?
[22:37] <@louie54> And Serenity
[22:37] <@Serenity> yarp?
[22:37] <Kael^Seoras> I'm not talkign dream sharing
[22:37] <@louie54> If you feel too awake to go back to sleep, WBTB may not be for you
[22:37] <Kael^Seoras> just having the mind come up with dream characters that are specific people
[22:37] <@louie54> Or you can attempt WILD
[22:38] <@Serenity> that's why I've been trying to DEILD instead
[22:38] <zebrah> Kael i think thats basic enough
[22:38] <Kael^Seoras> ok
[22:38] <zebrah> I can do that quite easily
[22:38] <@Serenity> i do get DILDs every once in a while
[22:38] <@louie54> Kael, I would create a goal of something you would really like to do during a lucid, something to really motivate you
[22:38] <@louie54> But whatever works is good
[22:38] <Kael^Seoras> what's DEILD
[22:38] <@louie54> For you
[22:38] <@Serenity> dream-exit induced lucid dream
[22:38] <zebrah> to be honest with you everything in a lucid dream is easy it's your own imposed limitations that hold your mind back
[22:38] <@louie54> Dream Exit Lucid Initiated Dream
[22:38] <PercyLucid> Dream Exit Induced LD
[22:38] <@louie54> Woops
[22:38] <PercyLucid> there is a guide too Kael^Seoras
[22:38] <PercyLucid> would take ages to explain
[22:39] <@louie54> DEILD is a form of WILD, which I ain't teaching
[22:39] <PercyLucid> but to be brief, waking up, not moving, not even opening your eyes, recalling last dream and slipering into it
[22:39] <Kael^Seoras> ok
[22:39] <PercyLucid> is basically an instant WILD
[22:39] <Kael^Seoras> oh right
[22:39] <@louie54> Any questions on WBTB?
[22:39] <Kael^Seoras> I do that unintentionally occasionally, sort of
[22:39] <Kael^Seoras> only not lucid lol
[22:39] <PercyLucid> nope
[22:39] <zebrah> yes
[22:39] <Kael^Seoras> nope
[22:39] <zebrah> wait never mind
[22:39] <zebrah> I answered my own question
[22:40] <@louie54> I suggest, you all try it
[22:40] <zebrah> I like the idea of WBTB
[22:40] <@louie54> I've gotten some pretty good lucids
[22:40] <zebrah> But i had forgotten a part of your tutorial louie
[22:40] <zebrah> I think ill do better now
[22:40] <@louie54> Alright
[22:40] <zebrah> in a dream count would you count WBTB as a WILD louie
[22:40] <Kael^Seoras> I have a question about the DILD tutorial, if now's a good time for that
[22:40] <zebrah> yeah
[22:40] <@louie54> What do you mean?
[22:40] <zebrah> never mind
[22:40] <@Serenity> I will catch up on the chat logs tomorrow night, but I have to go now

[22:41] <@louie54> Go ahead Kael
[22:41] <zebrah> I answered myself again
[22:41] <zebrah> by seren
[22:41] <@louie54> See yeah Serenity
[22:41] <@Serenity> ./waves
[22:41] <Kael^Seoras> it says a clear mind is important
[22:41] <Kael^Seoras> "A mind bogged down by outside interests and random thoughts can focus that much less thought on lucid dreaming."
[22:41] <PercyLucid> ok Serenity
[22:41] <PercyLucid> see you then

[22:41] <Kael^Seoras> if I listen to music as I fall asleep
[22:41] <Kael^Seoras> is that detrimental?
[22:41] <zebrah> depends on how you listen to music
[22:41] <@louie54> Ok hold on
[22:41] <zebrah> IMO
[22:41] <zebrah> kael are you a muscian?
[22:41] == Serenity [
[email protected]] has quit [Quit:
http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client]
[22:42] <Kael^Seoras> like how much I focus on it?
[22:42] <Kael^Seoras> yup
[22:42] <Kael^Seoras> studying it in college
[22:42] <zebrah> what do you do?
[22:42] <Kael^Seoras> I play trumpet
[22:42] <zebrah> ok
[22:42] <zebrah> I would say yes dont listen to music
[22:42] <@louie54> Not keeping a clear mind, won't not give you a lucid, it may just make it harder
[22:42] <zebrah> because I assume you can recognize what notes are being played by ear?
[22:42] <Kael^Seoras> sometimes
[22:42] <zebrah> yeah
[22:43] <Kael^Seoras> I don't ahve perfet pitch
[22:43] <zebrah> your sub c will become ocupied with that
[22:43] <Kael^Seoras> my relative pitch isn't too bad
[22:43] <zebrah> neither do I
[22:43] <zebrah> lol
[22:43] <@louie54> Which reminds me
[22:43] <Kael^Seoras> lol
[22:43] <zebrah> sorry kouie
[22:43] <@louie54> It may not be part of DILD
[22:43] <zebrah> louie*
[22:43] <Kael^Seoras> I get it
[22:43] <zebrah> k
[22:43] <Kael^Seoras> subconciously thinking about the chords and intervals and stuff
[22:43] <@louie54> But if you haven't checked it out, I wrote a tutorial with a link in my signature
[22:43] <zebrah> yup kael
[22:43] <zebrah> I cant listen to most music beacuse of that
[22:44] <@louie54> It's actually not so much of a tutorial as it is a little article
[22:44] <zebrah> on why you dont know your dreaming?
[22:44] <Kael^Seoras> it has helped with dream vividity I think
[22:44] <@louie54> Yeah
[22:44] <zebrah> yeah
[22:44] <@louie54> That's extra credit
[22:44] <zebrah> but I never get lucid after listening to music
[22:44] <@louie54>

[22:44] <Kael^Seoras> ok
[22:44] <zebrah> but your an individual so you might differ
[22:44] <Kael^Seoras> *shrugs* maybe
[22:44] <zebrah> yeah
[22:44] <Kael^Seoras> I'll have to see what happens
[22:44] <zebrah> I loved that article louie
[22:45] <zebrah> yup
[22:45] <Kael^Seoras> I'll be specific on what I do
[22:45] <Dire> is that the article on the DLPFC?
[22:45] <Kael^Seoras> I dont' ahve music playign all through the night
[22:45] <@louie54> Yes
[22:45] <Kael^Seoras> just for about an hour or so as I fall asleep
[22:45] <zebrah> I find it over stimulats me kael
[22:45] <zebrah> even if I do that
[22:45] <@louie54> Ok
[22:45] <Kael^Seoras> ok
[22:45] <Kael^Seoras> thanks for the advice
[22:45] <zebrah> yup
[22:46] <@louie54> So some random facts about DILD
[22:46] <@louie54> Just for information maybe to use on the forum
[22:46] <@louie54> DILD is the oldest known method of attaining lucid dreaming
[22:46] <@louie54> It is also the most random
[22:47] <PercyLucid> (when you are done I want to add something, I think it would help a lot of people)
[22:47] <zebrah> I think you did this last time louie
[22:47] <@louie54> Yet it is the most common way
[22:47] <@louie54> I think I forgot one though
[22:47] <zebrah> k
[22:47] <@louie54> Yes Percy?
[22:47] <PercyLucid> I discovered something that I am sure it will help for lucids
[22:47] <PercyLucid> DILD
[22:47] <PercyLucid> and its
[22:48] <PercyLucid> My room gets a lot of light and it screws me any DEILD or to even concentrate for WILDs, so I purchased this
[22:48] <PercyLucid>
http://www.amazon.com/Hearos-Deep-Sl.../dp/B000V9NJ6C
[22:48] <PercyLucid> it's $12
[22:48] <PercyLucid> I use the glasses and they are awesome
[22:48] <PercyLucid> and
[22:48] <PercyLucid> my point is
[22:48] <PercyLucid> you can look straight to the sun that you wont see light
[22:48] <PercyLucid> so I though about a mantra to repeat
[22:48] <PercyLucid> before going to bed and during the entire day
[22:49] <PercyLucid> "Next time I see other than darkness, I will do a RC"
[22:49] <PercyLucid> as you will see light during the whole day
[22:49] <PercyLucid> you will be forced to RC
[22:49] <PercyLucid> which was touched last class
[22:49] <PercyLucid> then
[22:49] <PercyLucid> you will go to sleep
[22:49] <PercyLucid> see nothing (and I mean nothing) with the glasses
[22:49] <PercyLucid> once you are in a dream, you will see again with your dream eyes
[22:50] <PercyLucid> I got this glasses three days ago and did not have time for that mantra, too busy
[22:50] <PercyLucid> but I think is a great idea
[22:50] <@louie54> Hmm sounds interesting
[22:50] <@louie54> Reminds me of EILD
[22:50] <@louie54> Almost
[22:50] <PercyLucid> well
[22:50] <PercyLucid> is not an electric device
[22:51] <PercyLucid> is just cotton'
[22:51] <PercyLucid> haha
[22:51] <@louie54> It can also mean external
[22:51] <Dire> kinda seems like a form of MILD to me
[22:51] <@louie54> Which can give DILDs
[22:51] <PercyLucid> well
[22:51] <PercyLucid> I think is more of a challenge to reality
[22:51] <PercyLucid> like a regular RC
[22:51] <PercyLucid> I will attempt this during the following days and report back
[22:51] <@louie54> If you doreality checks a lot during the day
[22:52] <zebrah> brb piss
[22:52] <@louie54> Just be sure to not do it mindlessly
[22:52] <@louie54> Ok
[22:52] <@louie54> And I would like to hear about it Percy

[22:52] <PercyLucid> yeah, I know
[22:52] <PercyLucid> I always look around and check every single item
[22:52] <PercyLucid> if its "OK" or not
[22:52] <PercyLucid> and I check
[22:52] <PercyLucid> like
[22:53] <PercyLucid> "OK. The trees are green, roots on the ground, regular trunk"
[22:53] <@louie54> That's good too
[22:53] <PercyLucid> "cars are over their wheels, regular cars"
[22:53] <PercyLucid> etc
[22:53] <PercyLucid> starting with my hands
[22:53] <@louie54> Or look around your room and make sure everything is in order
[22:53] <PercyLucid> yep
[22:53] <@louie54> I caught myself dreaming when I realized my bed was on the wrong side of my room
[22:54] <PercyLucid> yep
[22:54] <PercyLucid> and a poster on my main door
[22:54] <@louie54> Have you guys heard of Subliminal Messages for lucid dreaming?
[22:54] <PercyLucid> on the May's ToTM lucid I had
[22:54] <@louie54> G on
[22:54] <PercyLucid> yes
[22:54] <@louie54> Go* on
[22:54] <Dire> yeah
[22:54] <PercyLucid> ninja has some on the site
[22:54] <PercyLucid> I am actually hearing them
[22:54] <zebrah> [QUESTION} Louie are you more likely to have a DILD if you have done a lot of physical labor throught the day?
[22:54] <PercyLucid> but no effect
[22:54] <PercyLucid> hahaha
[22:54] <PercyLucid> I'm hard to hypnotice
[22:54] <@louie54> Good question, Z
[22:55] <zebrah> I have louie
[22:55] <PercyLucid> I love the music though and I will keep hearing them, but I rely more on my MILDs
[22:55] <@louie54> It turns out, you sleep better in general if you have had some physical labor throughout the day
[22:55] <zebrah> does that increase or decrease DILD chance do you think?
[22:55] <@louie54> REM-sleep is the sleep you need to get the energy feeling back
[22:55] <@louie54> I'll get to that
[22:55] <zebrah> ok
[22:56] <@louie54> So once you go through labor, your chances of having REM rebound go up
[22:56] <@louie54> Which means, you are likely to have
[22:56] <@louie54> More vivid dreams
[22:56] <zebrah> lol not through labor louie
[22:56] <PercyLucid> {QUESTION} How about having a light dinner? Like fruit and veggies instead of a regular dinner meal?
[22:56] <@louie54> I don't mean that dude
[22:56] <zebrah> K soz
[22:57] <@louie54> More vivid dreams, can help you recognize if you are dreaming, that is if you happen to be aware enough
[22:57] <zebrah> Thats interesting louie. I have been quite aware today so I think my chances are high
[22:57] <@louie54> Another good question Percy
[22:57] <@louie54> Ok I don't know too much about eating
[22:57] <@louie54> To be honest
[22:57] <zebrah> well I know a bit
[22:57] <@louie54> But if it's food that has some vitamin B in it
[22:57] <zebrah> if I can share
[22:57] <@louie54> Like B6
[22:58] <PercyLucid> increases recall
[22:58] <@louie54> Bananas, ect
[22:58] <@louie54> Yes
[22:58] <@louie54> But it also has given, me anyway, more vivid dreams
[22:58] <@louie54> You following Ice?
[22:58] <@louie54> Go ahead Z
[22:58] <Ice> yep
[22:58] <zebrah> If you eat a light meal here is what you can benifit from. Your body will fall asleep in a better way because it is not processing as much food
[22:58] <@louie54> Ok
[22:58] <zebrah> and You should ave clearer drea,s
[22:58] <zebrah> dreams*
[22:59] <zebrah> The point of some sleep is to conserv energy
[22:59] <@louie54> People claim that green tea works too
[22:59] <zebrah> but Your sleep can be consumed with digestion
[22:59] <zebrah> Yes louie
[22:59] <zebrah> because some stimulants help you and some dont
[22:59] <@louie54> What also may help is to have a small dose of caffiene
[22:59] <zebrah> like if you drink cafeen before bed your not going to sleep well
[22:59] <zebrah> right
[22:59] <zebrah> not a large dose
[22:59] <@louie54> Yes
[23:00] <zebrah> a small enough on causes a sleepy effect once it wears off
[23:00] <@louie54> I had a sip of coke, I had a lucid the same night, but I'm not sure if it worked or if I just got lucky
[23:00] <@louie54> It never worked again
[23:00] <zebrah> alternativly a quite large dose can lead to an OBE
[23:00] <zebrah> hrmm
[23:00] <@louie54> Possibly
[23:00] <@louie54> Oh
[23:00] <zebrah> I had a caffeen induced OBE in chem class this semester
[23:00] <@louie54> Lol
[23:00] <zebrah> or OOBE what ever you call it
[23:01] <zebrah> lol
[23:01] <zebrah> I could see my class from above my head
[23:01] <@louie54> Anyway, you guys read the Subliminal Messages tutorial?
[23:01] <zebrah> nope
[23:01] <Ice> no
[23:01] <zebrah> wait I might have
[23:01] <Kael^Seoras> no
[23:01] <PercyLucid> yes
[23:01] <Dire> I have
[23:01] <PercyLucid> the Ninja one
[23:01] <zebrah> Yes
[23:01] <@louie54> For those who don't know what I'm talking about,
[23:02] <@louie54> Ninja conducted an experiment on DreamViews
[23:02] <@louie54> That had subjects listen to 3 different types of music
[23:03] <@louie54> One with a saying in the background (uncomprehendable) saying "this is a dream" or something
[23:03] <@louie54> While another didn't have it at all
[23:03] <@louie54> And results showed that the people who got the one with the background mantras, had an increase chance of having a LD
[23:04] <@louie54>
http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=62621
[23:04] <@louie54> I've tried it myself, but no luck
[23:04] <zebrah> probabibly because you knew about the mantras
[23:04] <Kael^Seoras> I tried music with sublimional messages
[23:04] <zebrah> err messages
[23:04] <Kael^Seoras> dreams on those nights tended to be more vivid
[23:04] <Kael^Seoras> but not lucid
[23:04] <PercyLucid> I downloaded the file
[23:05] <PercyLucid> 59MB
[23:05] <@louie54> Well the mantras are suppose to stick in your head
[23:05] <PercyLucid> I heared three nights now
[23:05] <@louie54> Subconsciously anyway
[23:05] <zebrah> mmk
[23:05] <PercyLucid> no lucids but it helps to relax
[23:05] <@louie54> Yeah
[23:05] <@louie54> That's another possible way to have a DILD
[23:05] <PercyLucid> and that's more "lucid seeds" you plant in your subconscious
[23:06] <PercyLucid> louie54:
[23:06] <PercyLucid> do not forget
[23:06] <PercyLucid> the files also have tones
[23:06] <PercyLucid> Alpha and Gamma I think
[23:06] <@louie54> Ok
[23:07] <@louie54> Any questoins about anything, anyone?
[23:07] <zebrah> nope
[23:07] <@louie54> I think we covered mostly everything DILD
[23:07] <Dire> I have a small question, but it's a bit unrelated
[23:07] <PercyLucid> nope (sorry, I just wanted to add)
[23:07] <@louie54> I feel like I'm missing something
[23:07] <@louie54> Ok Dire
[23:07] <Kael^Seoras> I have a question, after Dire
[23:08] <Dire> I missed last week's class, so you might have answered this already. Does a MILD count as a type of DILD?
[23:08] <@louie54> Apparantly some don't, but I do
[23:08] <Kael^Seoras> remind me what MILD is?
[23:08] <@louie54> Because you are in the dream when it happens, not while falling asleep
[23:08] <@louie54> Mnemonic Initiated Lucid Dream
[23:09] <@louie54> It involves using a lot of mantras
[23:09] <Dire> that's kinda what I figured,
[23:09] <@louie54> With a brief WBTB
[23:09] <PercyLucid> yep
[23:09] <@louie54> You need good prospective memory which can be practiced
[23:09] <@louie54> But LaBerge shows that it is very effective
[23:10] <@louie54> Ok
[23:10] <Kael^Seoras> the DILD tutorial mentions mantras
[23:10] <@louie54> Did I answer your question
[23:10] <PercyLucid> yeah
[23:10] <Kael^Seoras> so seems liek MILD would be DILD
[23:10] <PercyLucid> i read both of his books

[23:10] <@louie54> I think so too
[23:10] <Dire> yes, thank you Louie
[23:11] <zebrah> BTW anyone in project Z there will be an experiment up tomarow ill pM, you can do it when ever you want. I will create a results thread for it
[23:11] <@louie54> Was that your question Kael?
[23:11] <Kael^Seoras> I read that a good reality check it to look at your watch, look away, then look back and see if the time is still the same, and if it changed, you're dreaming
[23:11] <PercyLucid> zebrah: ok
[23:11] <PercyLucid> send me the PM message plz
[23:11] <Kael^Seoras> how well does this work with analogues?
[23:11] <zebrah> yup
[23:12] <@louie54> Analogs?
[23:12] <zebrah> analog watches
[23:12] <Kael^Seoras> er, yea
[23:12] <zebrah> we discussed this last class
[23:12] <Kael^Seoras> analog
[23:12] <Kael^Seoras> my bad
[23:12] <@louie54> Oh right
[23:12] <zebrah> I had the same question
[23:12] <Dire> leberge says the trick doesn't work very well with analog watches
[23:12] <@louie54> Analog isn't recommended
[23:12] <@louie54> Right, Dire
[23:12] <Kael^Seoras> ok, thanks
[23:13] <Kael^Seoras> I glanced over the transcript of last class
[23:13] <@louie54> Like text, digital clocks have a hard time staying stabilized when looking away and looking back
[23:13] <Kael^Seoras> I thought that was about whether the watch was giving an impossible time
[23:13] <Kael^Seoras> i.e. 9:84
[23:13] <@louie54> Right
[23:13] <@louie54> Exactly
[23:13] <@louie54> No
[23:13] <PercyLucid> but do not
[23:13] <@louie54> It was about which was better
[23:13] <PercyLucid> stare at the watch
[23:13] <PercyLucid> or you will wake up
[23:13] <Kael^Seoras> ok
[23:14] <@louie54> Digital clock doesn't exist outside the mind, so it can't stabilize itself
[23:15] <@louie54> Ok so would you guys like to go over Mild real quick?
[23:15] <zebrah> sure
[23:15] <Kael^Seoras> sure
[23:15] <@louie54> Since it is apparantly a form of DILD
[23:15] <zebrah> louie please read my PM I sent you later
[23:15] <@louie54> Ok
[23:15] <@louie54> So MILD
[23:15] <@louie54> Zebrah, what does it stand for
[23:15] <Dire> Sure
[23:15] <zebrah> um I think two things
[23:15] <zebrah> mantra induced lucid dream
[23:16] <@louie54> Acceptable
[23:16] <zebrah> and menomicly incudec lucid dream or something
[23:16] <@louie54> Correct
[23:16] <zebrah> ok
[23:16] <zebrah> lol
[23:16] <zebrah> spelling also>
[23:16] <@louie54> Mostly people say Mnemonic
[23:16] <zebrah> k
[23:16] <@louie54> Since it is about remembering to do something in advance
[23:16] <zebrah> lol I got the jist of it
[23:16] <@louie54> Becoming lucid, for this subject
[23:16] <zebrah> iv'e heard both
[23:16] <@louie54> same
[23:17] <@louie54> So one way I would do this
[23:17] <@louie54> Is to wake up from a dream
[23:17] <@louie54> Remember it of course
[23:17] <@louie54> You can do this without sleep first if you like
[23:18] <@louie54> And remember your non-dream
[23:18] <@louie54> non-lucid* dream
[23:18] <@louie54> Then think about, "if I was in the dream again, how would it be different if I became lucid"
[23:18] <@louie54> "What would I do"
[23:18] <@louie54> "What wou"
[23:18] <@louie54> Also
[23:18] <@louie54> Woops
[23:18] <zebrah> like serens idea on writing down a dream again as if you hadbecome lucid?
[23:18] <@louie54> Recognize what was it you missed
[23:19] <@louie54> That could have told you, you were dreaming
[23:19] <@louie54> Sort of
[23:19] <@louie54> Anyway
[23:19] <@louie54> Recognize your failed dream-sign
[23:19] <@louie54> Then think about what you would have done differently and envision it
[23:19] <PercyLucid> nice
[23:19] <zebrah> Louie I had a dream I stole and drove a mustang lol
[23:19] <PercyLucid> never though about that
[23:19] <zebrah> ^ my dreamsign

[23:20] <zebrah> rofl
[23:20] <@louie54> Yeah you told me
[23:20] <zebrah> not lucid
[23:20] <zebrah> o yah
[23:20] <zebrah> I forgot
[23:20] <@louie54> Yeah
[23:20] <@louie54> For example
[23:20] <PercyLucid> and I had a dream my mustang was stolen
[23:20] <PercyLucid> LOL
[23:20] <zebrah> really?

[23:21] <zebrah> sexy
[23:21] <@louie54> "I just had a dream a dog was talking to me and I thought nothing of it. I can't believe that wasn't enough to convince me that I was dreaming. So if I was dreaming, I would have said 'hi' to him and fly away"
[23:21] <PercyLucid> safely sleeping in my garage
[23:21] == Dire [

[23:26] <@louie54> So you go back to sleep, and you should be immediatly in a lucid if successful, or recognize your dream sign
[23:27] <@louie54> You will not likely have the dream you envisioned
