DJ's workbook

Can't wait to start on what lies ahead :D

Welcome to the class ;P

Thanks! :D

Welcome! Feel free to tell us a little about yourself. How you found out about lucid dreaming, what you do and stuff like that :) Please post your progress in here, even regular dreams can be posted and I'll try to read them every day. If you have alot of dreams though, please take out your favorite one. Gets a bit tiring to read through that many pages of dreams ;)

Set up a few goals, check out this :http://www.dreamviews.com/f136/begin...thread-115806/ thread and choose a few that you think you could do and start visualizing.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Well I'm Djpatch, an enthusiastic radio DJ who is very interested in lucid dreaming. I found out about it all when two of my friends were discussing it and it sounded interesting, so when I got home I google'd it and found this forum and have been a member ever since. I only put my most vivid or exciting ones in my DJ anyway lol. My goals are in my signature bit below.

On a slightly different note; setting up for REM rebound tonight XD cant wait till tomorrow night :D

Ok I've now set myself up for REM rebound. I feel terrible with so little sleep and I can't remember my dream either. Can't wait to see tomorrow nights effects though :D

How many hours did you sleep? Start visualizing throughout the day and get that confidence up! You're doing this to not only increase the amount of dreams you have, but increase your chances of getting lucid. Good luck!

Erm I slept from around 2.00am until around 7.00am so somewhere in the region of 5 hours. Visualising what? the dream? I don't really have anything to build on. I'll imagine something up :) Thanks for your help Matte87 :)

Getting lucid. Doing the task you've set up. Things like that :) Just performing any kind of superpower will help you want to do it. And by believing in yourself you'll have a higher chance of doing it. RC throughout the day :) Np man :)

Ready for REM rebound XD

Rebound fail?

It feels like I didn't dream at all my recall is that bad. Can't tell if my REM periods were extended or not. Disappointed in myself :(


EDIT: I recalled part of my dream:

Dream Fragment

I was in some kind of super market (I've been here in a previous dream) and I vaguely remember something about pizzas. Also there was this cream to go on top of this dessert so I tried whipping fresh pouring cream. I did this for a while but to no avail (I was trying to make it thick). In the end I just got out a can of the cream that squirts out and my mum who was suddenly stood next to me said "Oh why didn't you use that in the first place?"

This took all morning for me to recall this :D

Don't be! Some days you don't recall much no matter how much you sleep. Don't think it as something you've did wrong, you did what you could. How many hours did you sleep?

I slept from around 10.30pm to around 7.30am and it's ok I remembered a bit :D (see my previous post which I edited). Also I feel extremely tired today so I might have my rebound tonight :)

No sign of a rebound and my recall has disappeared so I can't really tell, I'll post what I can remember from last night as well as tonight's results up tomorrow :)

Gutted you didnt see any effect from the REM rebound. Hopefully your recall will spike back up :)

Good luck man!

Monday night: dream 1
I had to try and cathc this huge eel out of a pond so that it want a danger. So me and 3 other people who I don't know in waking life made some form of fish sandwich which we hung over the pond. Then this huge eel thing shot out of the pond and landed on a nearby table which was going to be used to put it on anyway. We then started putting it in a net, wrapping it tightly around it's body until one of the people said "hang on he isn't the big one" so we put it back. The only other thing I can remember is that in the end there were 2 big eel things.

Dream 2
I was on a stage but at the side with lots of levels and dials in front of me (very similar to that of a recording studio) and in the middle of the stage was my friend R. With what appeared to be a small saxophone that made the sound of a kazoo and a guitar. I was playing a song using all the dials and things so I faded it out at the right moment to let her play. Halfway through she stopped and said she forgot the rest, the audience of about 100 clapped and R. Left the stage.

Fragments:
- I was trying to catch a spider in a creepy church
- there was this man behind a desk, his back against some kind of tropical beach and he was wearing a suit. Then 2 other suited guys arrived saying they were big fans of something.

Tuesday night: could not recall dream at all.

So I can't see the rebound coming into play anywhere in the past few dreams. The only one that it may have happened in would have been the Monday one because of it's length. Oh well maybe it's not the right technique for me. :)

I have a feeling this may have been my rebound, I could remember all 4 of my dreams in great detail and all were really vivid and clear, I'm surprised I didn't become lucid from any of these. Well anyway I'm going to type them all up for the record, then they can go into my dream journal as well.

Dream 1:

I was part of a fire service and I was looking over the equipment in the fire engine when the alarm went off. I immediately started getting changed into my gear but I was then told not to bother and to follow the fire chief which I did. The rest of the fire crew joined me as we walked into this huge hall full of people who were eating food. Well all walked over to a large table which could seat us all and we sat down. The fire chief then said how we couldn't afford to keep the crew in the fire service because they were being charged for the lessons we missed. (I'm assuming at this point that I'm still a college student like the others.) We then discussed our options, one of them was a seating plan to prove we were learning (I have no idea how that even proves anything) there were also several other ideas and I had an idea too, but I can't remember what it was. My idea was turned down anyway and this is all I can remember.

Dream 2:

I was waiting outside a telephone box in a city, I think I was with somebody from the fire station, then some of my friends started to arrive, the phone box for some reason was now filling with foam. We all then wondered what we were meant to do since we'd all been told to meet at this place. Then somebody spotted a large spherical cage behind the telephone box. Then somebody had the idea to have a cage fight, unfortunately it was two of my female friends that decided to go in the ring first. (I didn't want anybody to get hurt) My friends B. and A. climbed into the cage and for some reason A. had either got into or turned into a car. I was worried about somebody getting hurt so I hugged another of my female friends for comfort, but for some reason I accidently grabbed her boobs. She didn't react like she would in real life, in fact she didn't seem to mind but calmly removed my hands anyway. The scene then switched to the cage, B. looked as though she was going to lose but then she turned into what I can only describe as spider woman and completely obliterated the car. This is all I can remember for dream 2

Dream 3:

I woke up but didn't open my eyes. I heard voices saying "Oh where could he be?"(Ii also felt as though something was biting my knee) Finding all this a bit strange I opened my eyes to find myself lying on some very spiky grass. I looked around me, there was about 4 or 5 people with me on this small square of grass (It was about the size of your average room) the strange thing was that we couldn't step off this patch of grass because it was floating in some kind of void or a part of space. This void/space was really creepy because although the conditions felt like space there were clouds and as I looked into the darkness I'm sure I briefly spotted running water. But we couldn't step outside because it looked like there was no air or gravity. I looked around a bit more and saw and orange flat hologram of a world map, but it was twisting and turning as though the hologram was trying to work out which way up the map was. It then zoomed in on a few countries and places. The DC who was sat next to me seemed to have some knowledge about all of them. The other people were now trying to contact earth on what looked like a small walkie talkie but it wasn't working. (This was a really strange dream, but it was one of those that felt scarily real)

Dream 4:

There was this massive platform at some kind of huge stadium. It looked a little bit like a helicopter landing pad but bigger and thicker. The weather was bad; the rain driving down really hard and the gale-force winds really didn't help. I ran for cover but then I remembered something I had to do in this situation. I ran into this garage and grabbed these chains that had been left in an order for this kind of situation.I then ran back outside and attached the 3 I was holding to the side of this concrete pad. There was something that would happen when I did that, (I can't remember if it powered something or did something else.) I then ran for cover again, and when I reached it I told some people that the chains were in place. The dream ended here

This is the most amount of dreams I have remembered for a while, especially with this amount of clarity and vividness. As I said I think this may have been my rebound combined with the fact that I tried a new technique. Either way I'm proud of myself. :D

Very nice work! The last two dreams were cool :) Keep this recall streak up, your chances of getting lucid has just gone up. Good luck!

Recall streak = gone. Cannot recall last night's dream at all. This always happens after I have a good recall night :(

Don't worry about it bro. Everyone sometimes wakes up and remembers nothing. You will be fine. You WILL recall dreams tonight. and if i dont see them here tomorrow when i wake up.......


i keel you

Nito..... I'm afraid your going to have to kill me :/ haha

Haha you guys :D Too bad you didn't recall anything Dj.

Haven't bothered the past few days, giving my brain a rest. Then maybe when I start again tomorrow or tonight I will be able to have an LD soon. :)

Sounds like a plan :) I'm getting lucid on Sunday morning. Let's do it together :)

Yeah ok! maybe a chance of a shared dream as well then lol. Morning? oh right nap ok then :D
