Yeah I'm going to try out that game aswell, and aw too bad man! So close :)
Well after a week of not trying to ld i was just super anxious to try one out. This morning when i woke up to write a dream and feed my dog, i chanted in my head, "i know im dreaming." Did this as i fell asleep and before i knew it i was awake in a dream.
The dream was pretty unstable making it kind of hard to put in order but i think i got it pretty accurate. It was my longest ld yet, i wouldnt say my best though, i had a lot more fun in the last one. My goal as i went to sleep was to just kind of walk around and explore, get a feeling for the dreamworld like tblanco was saying. I did eat something though so thats one goal.
July 23 Briefly Exploring the Dreamworld - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
One thing i love about waking up from an ld is there is no gap in consciousness. You are aware of the whole process. Its fucking awesome!
Basic task complete:
i pick up a smal black fruit but its also juicy like its already been bitten into so i throw it in the street. i go into my yard, its day now and pick up a small blackish blue rock and eat it, it cracks in half with very little pressure in my mouth and becomes chalky, it tastes terrible, i spit it out.
Does it count if i spit it out? :P
Such a long lucid man!!! If it was more stable you could have done lots more I guess! But that was awesome the summoning a skateboard with no effort at all!!!
I might try doing what you've done and jus concentrate on recall for a week, seems to have worked so well for you! :) keep it up man!
Thanks nito! Yeah it was interesting when i took off on the skateboard, at first it felt like i was losing my balance, but then my balance just took care of itself. Next time i want to try some tricks!Quote:

And the break from MILD and WILD attempts, i think, is responsible for the effectiveness of that MILD. I hope they continue to work for a while :DQuote:

Next time when you want to find yout sword, pull it out of your pocket which is endlessly deep or imagine having it on your back. Watching it materialize is very hard.
Good job! * for you :)
Didnt try to ld last night but im thinking i may try to mild again tonight.
Favorite from this morning:
In the living room with my bro, rachelle, sister, wayne and some random dcs. Wayne leaves going back to houston saying he forgot something. Just remed earlier in the dream we were in the backyard and he kept asking how some haze was. He was sitting on a swing that doesnt exist in waking life. I rem telling him the haze is quite good. We go inside and he leaves.
I start heading back to my room to smoke a joint but i dont tell anyone. Just as im heading back my bro says why dont you get a joint ready. I say i was about to but if i smoke with you guys it will be all gone and i wont even be high. They all start laughing, i say maybe ill roll two. I start heading back to my room, but really dont want to smoke two so i forget it and go back to the living room. They are watching soccer, i rem a random dc next to me commenting on a goal, we are watching like a highlight show.
I rem watching and seeing a player named Harrard, in the dream i called him gerrard before correcting myself, in my head i compared him to gerrard and lampard and figured since he had ard in his name he must be good, he runs down the field a bit, the field looks really strange, there are like three players standing in front of him, he pretends to shoot and they all jump and flinch trying to block it as he pushes the ball around them.
I say something about how good he is. Inspired by the play i kick a soccer ball to my sister, she kicks it back to me in the air and i volley it as hard as i can towards the tv. It bounces back without damaging anything. I say something to my bro and he seems annoyed.

No luck with the MILD. Almost had a random DILD earlier in the morning.
"Rushing to get ready for a school final. I rem standing in my room facing the window, im wearing clothes from like highschool and i have like thirty minutes to get to class. I rem realizing this is a dreamsighn and even asked myself if i was dreaming but no lucid."
I really have no idea how i didnt go lucid, i havent been in school since early may. I am glad i recognized it as a dreamsign though, hopefully i will think about it more next time.
Whenever dreaming crosses your mind, make sure you really ask yourself if you're dreaming. And I also think, that you're afraid of fighting me in a lucid, that's why you're having a hard time ;)
Lmao, this is the one and only time ill ever have to tell you not to listen to matte, hasmash :P
It's YOUR dream, YOUR world of purely YOUR creation. Just imagine when you summon a DC of matte that he is without any power and you have all the power, then own him!! One of us has to after the beating matte gave us, haha :).
No disrespect matte of course.
This idea of fighting eachother is really awesome, brings competition into it, I'm itching to become lucid and have a rumble lol.
First one to beat me in a lucid, gets 500 points :D
Haha! ima give it a try tonight! :) been wanting to get lucid to attempt this task for a while!
Lol you're going down matte.
The air conditioning went out at my house so it was quite difficult sleeping throughout the night. Still recorded one dream.
"I rem playing soccer with my bro and possiblt my sister at pease. I show up later in the game and my bro is losing and complaining about the other team. Its some random dcs, one is this obnoxious dude you can tell is a dick. I start playing too making runs and getting open passes.
I rem one specifically where i make a run from the side to the top of the 18 and my brother passes it, the dc is guarding me so i just wind up like im gonna blast it and he backs of, i try to just pop it up into the goal, we're using the football posts by the way, daytime but not too sunny, try to pop it but hit it wrong and it goes to the bottom left My bro runs over and kind of stands over it as it rolls in.
I rem the one dc smelling like shit, i rem in the dream just really not likeing him. I rem after scoring a goal looking up at the sky and its darker now and the stars are out. I was blown away by how bright and numerous the stars were."
I got some melatonin but im kind of afraid to take it. Before last night i had been sleeping pretty well so im gonna wait until im having trouble sleeping consistently before i take some.
Lmao, love how the one you dont like smells like shit!!
Lol yeah that was funnyQuote:

I rem walking into like a small hotel room. My sister and mom as well as my aunt jacki are in there, there is also a very young girl and an older male dc. When i get there my aunt is talking to the little girl, she is asking in a playful voice if im gonna sit down when i get inside, i do. The dream gets pretty strange, it turns out that this room is some kind of underwater vessel, we are on vacation and are about to head back across the ocean. The vehicle takes off underwater, the only way i can tell is out the front window of the room i can see underwater, its nightime and the ocean is like pitch black, i start to get kind of scared.
I say something about going during the day, saying it would suck to drown in the ocean in the middle of the night, some dcs agree i think some laugh. No one else seems worried about it so i just close my eyes to meditate and every once in a while open them to see our progress. LAter in the dream i open them and we are inside like an underwater cave, there are images being shown to us from the window, its like we arent traveling anymore but instead are in some kind of virtual reality thing. I rem as the images flashed by i could hear a mans voice narrarating, the one thing i rem him saying was something about the seasons while he showed season pictures.
I still have my eyes closed the majority of the time, and the things the voice are saying usually dont encourage me to open them. Last thing i rem is not being in the room anymore, im outside of it, there is a small train track up to my right suspended in the air, the tracks go through the walls, a door opens and a bunch of water spills out, a small green bucket comes riding down the track. It has like another bucket on top that spins out water. A random dc next to me says its what we were riding in. It was so small i became very confused in the dream, wondering how we rode in that.

I was gonna try WILDs this morning but was having trouble getting back to sleep, i did manage to sleep some more, just wasn't aware of the process. Had another water dream, too bad i didnt rc, gotta remember that dreamsign.
i rem being on vacation at some hotel, and i want to go swimming. I rem asking my family if anyone wants to go but no one does, my sister starts pulling out this old school game twister, i try to get her to go but she doesnt want to, i say that game is lame, im going swimming as i leave. Outside i notice we are not on the bottom floor, there are two soccerballs on the ground, a dude runs up the stairs and goes straight down another set, another dude runs up, he has a muscle shirt and red hair, he stops and turns around, in the dream i think hes going to get one of the soccer balls but instead he starts talking. He says something about his clothes.
Next thing i know im down in the pool. The pool area is huge and there are two large pools. One of them is on a balcony looking out over the other. Im in the one on the balcony, there are a bunch of little kids playing and i rem a dad with his kids. Down in the lower pool they are playing catch, the ball edns up on the balccony on the far side of the pool, i swim over to get it, i do just as a little kid runs up the stairs in dark blue, i toss him the ball, the ball is dark blue with some rips in it.
The dad starts to play catch with his kids, when i am looking away i get hit by the ball, it bounces and floats behind me towards the group of little kids on the balcony. I jump backwards splashing into the water and trying to grab it at the same time. When i splash all of the kids start screaming playfully. I get the ball and throw it back to the dad, i rem him being a really big black dude. Dont rem much else
July 28 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
Cool dreams man! The first one sounded like a cool adventure, and reminded me of WoW actually haha. Too bad you didn't get lucid.
Went to bed a bit later than usual, couldnt rem any dreams until after a rem cycle or two. Remed a flash, started my mantra and went back to sleep hoping for a MILD. Started a crazy dream, i go lucid at the very end but cant get control of the dream
July 29 Lost in the Void - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
Had a dream that i was in my house in the living room area, no lights are on in the whole house as if there is no power. I dont know how this all starts exactly but there are two armed gunmen in the house, they are in the study, its quite dark in all of the rooms so i dont actually see them. In the dream i feel like there are supposed to be cops or something helping us but never see any. I rem going out into the study, still cant see anything, i hear one of them say something about fighting their way out, im really low to the ground when they say this, as they do i look up and imagine red bullets flying overhead.
I leave the study and walk into the living room. I see a small sawed off shotgun on the ground. I pick it up and walk back a bit towards the kitchen. When i do there is a fat guy with a gun in the dining room, he is pointing the gun towards my back door, i walk into my kitchen and get behind a counter for cover, i point the sawed off shotgun right at him and shoot, the blast hits him right in the chest and he falls to the ground.
I thought he was done but when i look back he is lying prone and still pointing his gun towards the back of the house, my sister walks out of the hallway and he begins to shoot at her. I point the shotgun at him again and shoot but it wont fire, i walk up to him and start hitting him in the head as hard as i can with the shotgun, i rem it even hurting my hand to swing so hard. I knock that guy out, but rem there is another one in the study, i ditch the gun and head to the back of the house.
Im pretty scared at this point in the dream as i have no self defense, i tell my sister to follow me and i walk into my brothers room. My sister doesnt listen and is acting like everything is normal, she goes to her room. I peek out into the hall and call her again, i look the other way and see a shadow walking through the living room, im really scared at this point, my sister finally gets in the room and i slam the door shut and lock it, just as i sense something coming down the hall, the timing was way too close. Still quite scared i start to panic a bit, i dont know if it was a defence mechanism but i realize im dreaming.
I say outloud i am dreaming, and instantly all the fear of the situation is gone. Its extremely dark in my bros room so when i realize it the dream fades to darkness and im in like a void, i focus on trying to enter another dreamscene, i rem the dark changed to a bright white light and i saw the number 37 i think, it looked like the adress to a house or something, still trying to renter a dream until the 37 is gone and im just staring at my eyelids.
Day 1 of normal task complete, 1 dream 1 frag, do frags count?
What a dark dream man. Nice job getting lucid! Too bad it was in a dark dream. They usually don't last very long from my own experiences. Try flipping a light switch next time. Nah I think it has to be actual dreams. Atleast a few rows of text. Not that you're going to have any trouble getting 2 dreams a night 4 nights in 14 hehe.
Matte is right man that was dark! Don't you just hate it when DC's have no idea what's going on, it's like WISE UP MAN YOUR ABOUT TO GET SHOT!!!! lol.
Nice one on becoming lucid too :).
It's inspiring to see you getting lucid.
Thanks Matte, i was so relieved when i realized i was dreaming. Thats the first time ive become lucid during a scary dream. Hopefully i will start going lucid any time i have a scary dream.Quote:

I finally got some good sleep around 8:30 im thinking and woke up about a bit more than an hour later with a dream.
Favorite from this morning:
In corpus in a hotel right next to the water. I walk out onto the balcony and there are some random dcs there, a young couple. When i walk out, daytime with cloudy gray sky, the guy asks me something like, how would you like holding a new baby when you come to padre, i knew he meant like what it would be like to take your kids there for the first time or something. I tell him, yeah man thats a pretty beautiful experience.
At some point water begins splasing up to the hotel quite hard, it makes it up and over the balcony. We get hit by the first wave, i rem tasting the salt water as the water splashed over. Another wave is coming and we head inside, the first thing i think is, i wonder if it will flood the whole hotel, i even rem briefly entertaining the thought that this is very similar to a reoccurring dream i used to have. I rem the beach stuff, specifically rem boogie board, getting washed out to the water by the waves. Dont rem much else.
July 30 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
I used to have this dream all of the time growing up, i would be at a hotel on the water and the waves would keep coming in closer and closer. Some times it didnt get very far. Other times it would slam against our window several stories high, flood the hotel alltogether, stuff like that.
Hmm, sounds like a tsunami dream to me. I don't really have dreams today that I used to have as a kid. Lucky me though, most dreams I remember from back then were about me being chased or taken prisoner :P
Haha yeah dreams from back then were usually pretty crazy. Mine were mostly about the end of the world but i did have some where is was chased, not fun. I rem a dream from when i was young when a nuclear bomb hit nearby, i got up and started running from the blast, i realize the blast is catching up with me and i want to die as quick as possible, i jump down and the blast hits me, i begin taking deep breaths trying to get as much radiation or fallout as possible, i just rem the air being really hot, i wake up still breathing like this. Cant rem exactly how old i was when i had this.
Only recalled one dream this morning, another school dream, not much happened. I have had trouble sleeping a few nights in a row now so im gonna go ahead and try out some melatonin tonight.
July 31 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
Well yesterday i recalled several dreams and today i recalled one. Didnt go lucid either days. I still never tried the melatonin, chickened out again.
August 1 & 2 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
Yesterday and today i was noticing i'm a bit more unconscious of when im waking up and this is making it harder for me to recall detailed dreams. Today it was pretty bad, i kept waking up and immediately moving, or not realizing i was awake and lying there thinking about something other than dreams. Im gonna focus on recall the next couple of days to combat this.
Hopefully i will have a random DILD, if not i will probabaly try MILD again friday or saturday morning depending on how the recall is going.
