My first recall in a long time!+A conversation with my subsonsious!

Ok. Every once in a while, I stop writing in my DJ for a while, and my recall goes down the drain. But usually I can get it back by writing in my DJ for a coulple more days. Well, I decided I wanted it back. 5 days went by, and still no recall. I was doing everything I could to get it back. Well, not everything. This is what I did last night:


Listened to over an hour of Subliminal Recall Music

Named my Subconsious

Lots of Autosuggestion

100mg of B6

Had a real conversation with my subconsious (I could swear I wasn't just making up answers)

Read tons of LD stuff

More autosuggestion


And guess what?! I remembered one full dream! All that hard work paid off! Now if only I knew which one made it happen...

Oh, and this is how my conversation went with my subconsious (after I worked on naming her for a day) (Her name is Spice :) )

Rebecca-Hey Spice
Spice-uhh... yeah?
Rebecca-I'm so glad I can talk to you
Spice-uhhh yeah.. me too
Rebecca- Can everyone talk to their subconsious?
Spice-Some people, about half
Rebecca-Cool
Spice-yeah...
Rebecca-(hmm, I wonder if I am talking to her or just my consious mind)
Rebecca-hey spice?
Spice-yeah?
Rebecca-what was the name I almost named you? (there is no way I could get this right by myslef... it was 4 days ago and it was a super random name!)
Spice- uhh... Maria Jones.
Rebecca-(omg! she got that so quick, I didn't have a clue of rememberance!)) thanks.
Spice- umm... no problem
Rebecca- why haven't I been remembering my dreams latley?
Spice- you haven't been trying hard enough
Rebecca- wha- what? I have been trying really hard.
Spice- well, idk
Rebecca- can you make it come back?
Spice-ummm... maybe...
Rebecca- pleeeaaaassseeee
Spice- ah, ok.
Rebecca-thank you so much ^.^ how many dreams will i have tonight?
Spice-6
Rebecca-how many will i remember?
Spice-1
Rebecca-goodnight
Spice-night

The next morning, i remembered one dream

Rebecca-hey spice?
Spice-yeah?
Rebecca-can you communicate with other supconsiousnessess?
Spice-no. well, yes. but minds dont like talking to eachother.
Rebecca-oh. will i remember any more of my dream later on in the day?
Spice-yes
Rebecca-randomly?
Spice-no, you will see something
Rebecca-ok... cool

I haven't remembered the rest yet, but hey, the day isnt over yet.

So what do you think? Was I really talking with her?

wowoeee!

weird, tell us when you see something that triggers your memories asap!

About five minutes ago, I asked my subconsious:

Rebecca: Why haven't I seen my memory trigger object?
Spice: You already have
Rebecca: crap... and i didn't notice it?
Spice: nope, you weren't paying attention
Rebecca:will i see it again?
spice:...nope


:cry:

You aren't helping.

If it was directed at me, I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything, I am just curious.

Awesome, Puppycat!

I talk to my subconscious sometimes, too. I do it when I'm awake. Since I'm a writer I always write my questions and the answers I get. Other times I talk to my subc. in LDs.

I do it while I'm lying in bed.

If this helps you, keep going and good luck.

Maybe there's something to direct communication. Maybe I'll try to meet my subconcsious in a lucid sometime.

How exactly do you two strike up a conversationw ith your subconcious? When you're laying in bed, about to go sleep, do you just think to yourself? Or is it during a LD? Please tell me xD.

Also, how do you talk to it while you're awake? Sorry, i'm kind of a newb at this. I did join a few months ago, but on an oldddd name that I forget the information to. I'm just now managing to have a WILD/ short LD...

Thanks in advance xP.

When I talk to my subc. while I'm awake I go into my writing studio and sit down. I drink some tea and relax. Then I pick up a pen and some paper. I write my first question or greeting, then see if my subc. will reply. The converstation is written. I think that works so well for me because I'm a writer and it is a comfortable format. Often it will go something like this:

me: Hey. I need to talk.
subc.: It's about time!
me: Yeah, I knew there was a problem. What is it?
subc.: You're ....

Then the conversation goes on from there. I'm not going to share any of these actual conversations because they, naturally, are really personal.

When I talk to my subc. in a LD it goes something like this:
I know I'm dreaming.
I know there is a problem brewing, so I want to talk about it.
I approach a DC (or a DC approaches me) and ask if they can talk on behalf of my subc.
Then we talk.

Ahhhh! I'm going to try that! (:

I just talk to her in my head. (While I'm awake) She told me she doesn't appreciate it when I post our conversations. I guess it is meant to be personal.

So you just make yourself comfortable, then pose questions to yourself and take the answers that immediately jump into your mind?

there are people out there that can help u

Hmm, yes, and I believe that the ones I am asking my question to are the ones that posted in this topic before me, therefore, I believe that they may be able to help with my question.

Active Imagination

Wish I could invoke dialog with mu subconscious like that... It might prove interesting ;)

I wasn't accusing her of having an overactive imagination, I was pointing out that what she is doing is paralleled by a technique that Jung developed. Check out the link...

I talk to myself sometimes in my head, but i'm not sure if its me or my SubC that i'm talking too :D Dosent make you crazy, it just makes you intresting!

thats to weird for me to believe. youre like homer :lol: you know, when he talkes to his subc. ^^
the question i asked at the top was serious. ARE you somehow crazy or DO you have splitted mind or is that really real for you? (i apologize. that sounds like i wannet to harm you or somethin, but im relly serious.)

(these are all my opinions btw. from my own personal experiences. So don't knock me down too hard. But feel free to input your own experiences.)

I do talk to my SC awake or not awake.

A lot of times when im awake its hard to separate my SC from the rest of the thoughts in my mind.

The way i hear / know things in my mind, is that my SC and me both use the same parts of the brain to communicate speech, but me and him have separate sections where we both live.

I do try to talk to my SC all the time, it works a lot. But most of the time i'm not happy with what he says. Or i just don't know if its static from the rest of my brain. Or its really is him.

I guess getting hit in the head with a heavy statue makes it so i cant tell my SC from the rest of my brain.... *sigh*

So well anyways, puppycat, don't let anyone else tell you different. Your SC does exist. Talking to it is a very good thing, because your SC is a part of you, and ignoring it is not a good thing. Because when you ignore it. Its harder to lucid dream and live a normal life. Your SC is a part of you much as you are a part of it, we just have different jobs :)

Gotta work together with your SC. Team work! :D

Saying some stuff is okay. But a lot of the stuff your SC tells you is only for you to know and not to be told to others. As others cannot understand because there not you... :)

But always feel free to ask you SC weather its okay to post what you talk about together.

You gotta understand your SC is a living Conscious thing as you are and has its own thoughts and feelings.

Having a good relationship with him/her is good, but treat it as a friend or a lover. It is its own living being inside of you.

(also, i've found my SC can and does talk to other people's SC. Ive been having this for years now. I ask my SC to have someone do something, and that person responds, but only if there SC agrees with what my SC asks it. i personally believe our SC's communicate through the electromagnetic field all our bodys and life forms on this planet give off.

I have pet mice, i can talk to them through my SC and ask them to do things. I don't over use or abuse this ability however. Moderation and all :) )

Yep, that is how it works for me. Sometimes I don't get any answers -- it feels like my conscious mind is trying to force it, and sometimes makes up stuff. When it works it feels like an actual conversation -- I'm not sure what the reply will be. Sometimes it is really startling.

I find that my subc. is much more honest than my conscious mind. It won't lie to me or try to protect my feeling from getting hurt.

I totally understand what TheMoon is saying. The subconscious is very much a part of us. It controls us more than we like to think, this is why I want to be on such good terms with mine. I want to know what is going on and what I can do to make my life run more smoothly. I like to think of my subc. as my friend.
