Thread: Sydney's Workbook

Never woke up last night without laying still. Trying a DEILD alarm tonight, though. (I'm using the Easy MP3 alarm.. if anyone has any good sounds I could use, please tell me)

Remembered a dream and a fragment last night though. I'm getting better.

Dream:
So I remember being in a pyramid sort of thing. I had to get out. I was at the very top, and I had 9 levels to go. We had to get through these crazy mazes and traps without getting killed. They way out was at the bottom. I was given a guide, who was very calm and collected; she was almost like not human. She sort of seemed like part angel to me or something.

After going through a maze or something, I said something like, "Finally, we're through that." And she said, "Nine more floors to go."

I think there was a bad guy that came to hinder us from going down. All they did was argue with us though. Pretty lame. I think the angel was showing what she could do to him, and she had some gold appear in her hand and she dropped it on the floor. I picked it all up and stashed it away in a box somewhere for myself LOL. Greedy much?

Somehow, we had gotten out. Either this was a second dream or the same dream, but I'll treat it like the same dream. I was back in my "world". And the angel went back to hers. For some reason, mechanical parts started falling from the sky, like car parts. I somehow got over to that angel's world and told her that she needed to come to my world, because her end of the world was near.

I had recently heard a phrofecy where the "alien" world would end first. Then the "human" world would end next.
She did not want to come. I can't really remember the rest of this dream, though.

Fragment:
I think I was Chloe King. I was with one of her protectors, and I forgot his name. We were in a cave for some reason. There were these violent gaurds gaurding the entrance to the cave. I remember my protector having to see very far (in the dream he could, because, well, he was a Mai). At the end of the dream, I was stabbed or he was stabbed. I can't remember.

No recall last night. Didn't hear my alarms either. I think I need a new alarm.

Maybe try auto suggestion to wake up instead of an alarm, or try some alarm ring that's really annoying? For me my alarm never wakes me up no matter how loud it is -.-

Yeah i agree about the autosuggestion, whenever i would use an alarm, just turning it off would make me forget so much of my dream. It takes a while but with practice, you should be able to just wake up on your own after different rem cycles. Either way good luck tonight sydney!

Nice to see that you're improving! Try different kinds of alarms and like the boys said, autosuggestions might work. Good luck!

Thanks! I may try autosuggestion tonight. Any tips on what to say to my subconscious? Lol. Like "After I dream, I will wake up and not move."? Something like that?

I usually say something along the lines of " I will wake up in four to six hours" or something like that, but it never hurts to experiment

I've always liked "I will wake up after every dream cycle" but like crow said, experiment with a few and you'll find which is most effective for you

Yeah I'd go with the: "I will wake up after every dream cycle" one. It's more the intention of wanting to wake up, than the actual mantra that is important. Aslong as you intend to wake up a few times each night or during the morning, you probably will

Well, can't remember any dreams last night. D'oh, I think waking up too many times is what caused my non recall.
I'll get it tonight. WILD tonight ohhh yes.

Alright. So last night, I woke up for my WBTB. Made myself get up and use the restroom, then got back in bed. I tried to situate myself to WILD; then started counting. I trailed off at about 48 or so and fell asleep.
I woke up 30 minutes later and didn't even get up. I just rolled over and tried to WILD again. I got to around 350 then said to myself, "Ugh. I need my sleep, I have to get up in 1 and a half hours to run anyway."

Darn my unfocused mind.

Well I had a vivid dream after that. Here's how it went:

I remember going to stay with my aunt or something, who was an actress (not in real life). She stayed in a sort of apartment thingy. Since I stayed with her, I was apparently in the acting business now. I didn't know my aunt that well, though.

So she showed me the rooms. First she showed me my room. It was old. I had a couple of old beds in it, including a very small bed, probably for a doll.

She said that she was going to take a shower. I don't know why I decided to take one to. O.O There was only one shower. She got in before me and I got mad because I wanted to take the first one LOL.
So I was standing in the bathroom while she was taking one, with clothes off. The door was cracked, and I peeked out of it. No one else lived there except me and her, but you never know.

There was a big window that stretched it's way across the room in front of the kitchen and the living room (they were connected). In the middle of the window was a glass door. And I saw a couple of people walking up here! I concluded that it was probably the director and his crew; because there was one man walking with a coffee cup in his hand with a few people walking behiind him.

I stood there, and didn't know what to do. My aunt was in the shower. I was naked. So I grabbed the nearest towel and ran for cover to my room, hoping that they wouldn't come in before then.

- - - -

Somehow, the dream skipped ahead. My aunt was out of the shower, and my sister and her friend Dylan were over. They were playing a video game or something on the kitchen counter. Sometimes, they would ride around the house in a little four-wheeler thing. I can't really explain it.. Lol.

Sooner or later, the director and his crew came back to the house. My aunt told me they were going to use me for something, and that we had to run away. Now this was weird. I was now in my aunt's shoes, running away, and carrying ME. With a bowl of fruit in my hand LOL. I guess "she" grabbed it on her way out for food. It got really vivid right here. A cantelope slipped off of the bowl and I caught it and kept running. Lol.

Haha funny dream, took a couple of strange twists

Awesome dedication with your WILD attempts, getting to 350 would have taken a while. Good luck tonight sydney!

Haha it seems to me that you're naked in alot of your dreams Yeah very good dedication on the WILD, good job! Be the first to complete that task now Funny dream overall.

Lmao. Thanks! I really want to "un-lazy" myself hahaha.

Its pretty hard to do =P

Ikr.

Didn't have time to post my dreams this morning! Well anyways, last night I apparently never set my WBTB alarm.
Weird.
I just slept through the whole night Guess I needed my sleep though.

OK. So here's my sort of fragment from last night.

I remember a dream where we were "starting over" a video game. I was in the video game. The "characters" (since they were DCs) were in on the whole situation, so they decided to help me. I don't really know why I had to beat the video game.

I remember seeing a picture of a building that had ledges or something all around it.

So I had a boyfriend in this game. He was in on it, too. He was a chubby weirdo... he wanted me to kiss him I think. I was like, "Uh, no!" But he forced me anyways. It was so disgusting. It actually wasn't really a kiss, it was more like a lick on my face. UGH.

This all took place inside a room that was almost like a hotel's room, but it was inside the strange building above. Another guy walks in. He's tall, thin, and actually cute. He has his hat on backwards. He looks and reminds me of a guy in my class, who is less cuter. He says to me, "We'll just use him when we need to, to progress through the game," Now he faces my boyfriend and says, "just leave her alone."

Butterflies. ^-^

Lmao sydney, proper knight in shining armour there. Too bad about the lick from a fatty, bit weird

Hopefully you can dream of sexeh boys tonight, and maybe even be naked again ya know, to make up for it. Haha.
Good luck LD'ing anyway
(sorry haha)

LOL. Totally, Nito, totally.

Thanks

Haha nice kiss there We all need our beauty sleep sometimes

So I got up for WBTB last night. Went to about 350 breaths.. my mind kept wandering. I don't know why, it was just so boring that I just flat out moved. I wasn't really tired or anything.
Not sure if I need a new technique.. or just pure focus.

But anyways, here's my 2 dreams from last night:

Dream 1: Velvet Cupcakes
I was at my dad's house. I remember walking into my kitchen and seeing a baggie that was full of red velvet cupcakes! I had never had one in my life, but apparently I was eager to try one now. My dad was standing there, and he told me I could have one. I looked closer and saw that all of them except one had a ton of icing on it. He pointed at the one with tons of icing on it and said, "That's mine."

So I just took one with just little bitty icing. Ew.

My step mom was there as well. Where our laundry room is now, she was there standing, by a little "booth". This booth was a place that I could put flavor packs (or something like that.. I think they were unedible) on my cupcake. So I walked up there and she asked me which one I wanted. They all looked the same. Like little white balls... but they were hard. They looked like marbles only white. I don't think I took one.

I went downstairs into the den, and sat on a chair by a bookcase that wasn't there before. The same white marbles (that my step mom was going to give me) were hanging up, almost like streamers on the bookcase. It was weird.

Dream 2: Flooded House
I was walking down a driveway. I noticed there was a basket ball goal sitting there, opposite the garage. To the right of the whole place, sat a graveyard, but it wasn't very creepy. It was kind of peaceful.

I walked into the house through the garage door, and before me there was a group of people. I hadn't noticed, but there was water up to my ankles in there. I took it as normal.

I really don't know why I was there. At one time, we all ran to the door. Suddenly I asked, "Wait, has the water always been this high?"
Lol. Silly me.

Haha strange dreams sydney!
Recall looks like your Back on track now Nice one!

Some funny dreams sydney, that guy licking your face a few days ago cracked me up! Did you actually try one of those cupcakes, is that what you meant by ew? like it was bad? I personally have yet to really eat something i enjoyed in a dream, its always weird stuff, so i wouldnt be surprised if it was gross.

Nice dedication on the WILD attempts, just make sure the counting isnt keeping you awake, ive heard it can do that for some people. Good luck tonigh!

Thanks! And the cupcake didn't have any icing on it, so it was well, basically bread.
