I just realized it now because I talked to my dad about the game last night lol. I'm glad i didn't go to the bathroom lol.
Alright I want to start but don't know exactly what you guys are doing but I'll give it a shot...
Day 1
Had my first lucid dream! It was amazing! I did the reality check where you hold your nose and breathe and when I tried to breathe in it worked and everything just became extremely vivid! I looked up and flew to the ceiling but when I tried to go through it I couldn't so I slowly hovered back to the ground. I picked up a ball and turned it into an apple and it fell out of my hand or something. I forget what happened but I ended up in a glass box on the moon! It was scary at first because I couldn't see earth but then I looked to my left and saw it. I tried teleporting back there but it didnt work so I broke through the glass and flew back to earth. The rest is a little hazy but when I woke up from it It was really early and I thought to myself I really need to write this down but im soo tired i fell asleep for another hour woke up and was lucky enough to remember this much.
Question: I was in a dream and I told all my friends I was going to try to LD. I went to sleep and pretty much right when I got into the dream I did the RC and had my first LD. Would that be an example of MILD or what was it? When I did the RC I noticed my shoes were in front of a strangers house and that was a little wierd but i don't think that's why i did the RC. I don't know! Now I really wish I had written down the LD when I first woke up.
Day 5. Recalled one dream, it was only about a 2-3 minute fragment... no LD's.... damnit
Hello all! This is Day 2 and I think this was the best damn lucid dream I've had so far. I was looking at the post about "Possibly the key to Lucid Dreaming" and was fascinated by it so before I went to bed I said to myself "Yea, I'm a Lucid Dreaming Guru, I have them every night and you better believe they are awesome!" Then I went to sleep not thinking much of it. Well to sum up, I met my Dream Guide, his name is Torso (ikr) and he looks a lot like Samuel L Jackson. He taught me how to perfect my flying, to shoot fire from my hands, change the weather which I always wanted to do and took me to a big city where we got into a bar fight :cheers:. It was incredible and I felt like a true lucid master. It ended with us planning our next adventure. :banana:
That sounds.... INCREDIBLE. Awesome lucid! I'm jealous :P I tried that last night to. I said " I am a lucid dreaming master, I have lucid dreams every night " I woke up today with no lucid and shit recall :(Quote:

Thanks rynkrt3! I was so ecstatic when I woke up, I can barely remember all the other dreams I had now. It sucks to hear you had an uneventful night, I do feel your pain but as I always say when I'm going through a dry spell, Tonight will be the Night!
Day 12:
1 fragment recalled. No LD. From today on I'll try shifting from MILD to programming my subconscious and see what happens. I'll do some relaxation and then tell myself I am the most skilled lucid dreamer ever, that I lucid dream EVERY night. I won't use future like the MILD technique requires because that doesn't seem to work for me. What I read about programming the subconscious suggests that you have to set your goals and do affirmations in the present, not in the past or future. I think our lives are based upon expectation, just like dreams. If you expect something to go wrong it will go wrong, I realise this thinking about some exams I failed at university. Every time I thought I would have been successfull no matter what, I passed the exam even with little study. When I had even the slightest doubt about myself even if I studied hard.... I failed. I don't think memory has so much to do with attaining lucidity and even techniques in general. We rely too much in everything we do upon external things but those are just instruments and the mistake is the attribution of success or failure on the instruments we're using. Ask yourself: Who is using those instruments? I am. The outcome always depends on us , on how WE use those instruments. So what is the instrument to be used in lucid dreaming? Techniques? Hmmm I think the only instrument really involved is our mind (don't let it trick you, you're not your mind). We then need to learn using, programming our mind the right way, nothing else is needed. From now on I'll post my results having this different approach to reach the goal. We can then compare our results. I see perple already had an incredible experience this way :D
I'm trying to learn to program my subconscious, two nights in a row I have done what others have had success with, yet it doesn't work for me. Not really sure what to do now.
Don't get discouraged. You are your own limit. As I said I think it all depends on you, not on techniques. You can have the best brushes and colours to paint with but YOU are the one who's painting. If you can't you can't blame the tools. Learn using them, which means to be patient, to be confident, determined and consistent. It's all you will ever need ;)Quote:

I understand lol, it just hard not to get a little discouraged when I've seen like 5 people in 1 day have results. Last night, and the night before, I get ready for bed, lay down and relax for a while. I say " I am a master lucid dreamer, I have lucid dreams every night I sleep " I had no doubt in my mind that I would LD. I said it once then went to bed. But nothing, is there something I'm doing wrong?Quote:

When you say I am a master lucid dreamer, I become lucid every night, really feel it, feel the excitement about it, feel the power behind those words. Then you can also visualise yourself being lucid (this sounds like MILD in a way). You have to repeat these steps several times but don't over do it. Once you have given the imput, your subconscious will do the rest. You can even do this 20 minutes non stop in one session and then don't think about it until you go to sleep. This is the theory. I need to put it to practice too and I'm doing it from today on.
Does it need to be said aloud or can it be in my head? People hearing me say shit to myself will be like 0.o lol
Ha ha! You can just say it in your head. I don't think saying it out loud would make any difference because self confidence is what really matters. It's how you feel when you say those things, not the things themselves or the way you say them
Day 8: Had a very vivid Lucid last night. Was at my school payong for lunch when I walked away for two seconds. I came back and my lunch was gone. So I went to my table said hi to my friends and went back to line and looked for it. My other friend came up and found it. I had one more that i'm having trouble recalling but if I do i'll come back on.
O and I looked at those key to lucid dreaming videos: pretty good.
Nice job sand, 2 days in a row now!
Sandman is on a roll!
yeah that's 4 lucids this weekend.
My next Lucid Goal: Go through hell, purgitory, and paradise
That sounds so scary. I had a nightmare like that once about hell and demons, it was so frightening that I woke up in a cold sweat. I don't remember much of it now cuz I basically wanted to forget about it.Quote:

Ok guys so today I had the most vivid LD I've ever had and It lasted for about 1.30 to 2 hours (dream hours obvsiously) about 30 min in real life
I got to do pretty much I wanted to (with some limitation for my lack of experience in actual vivid LD's)
I will not bore you with the details of my dream since it was just me being stupid on everything I could imagine of doing, but I will tell you how it was that I got lucid...
Ok so I tried the WBTB and WILD tech, about 6 hours after falling sleep I woke up naturally went to the bathroom and then I went to bed and I told myself, "If I see something more than this bed, I'm dreaming, If I'm dreaming I'm lucid" then I just relaxed didn't thought much about the WILD I just tried to sleep while conscious... didn't work... BUT! as soon as I entered the dream I was already lucid just like that I don't know how that happen IDK if it was because what I just told myself, but soon I found myself in Dream State and Lucid just RC and that was it :P
Ima keep up trying with this technique and post the results
I read the Divine Comedy and also watched Dante's Inferno based off of it. They are both really good.
