Thread: Lucas(Potter)'s Workbook

I know. I just get really annoyed by boring dreams. I'm so used to exciting dreams (even if some of they turn into nightmares, at least there's all the adrenaline) that when I have a dream about sitting down and talking and watching people or driving, I end up waking up and feeling like I REALLY wasted my time.

I'm trying, though, my DJ entry was pathetic (just two lines for both nights), but I'll definitely try harder tomorrow.

Almost had a lucid dream last night!

In my dream, I was following my mum and there was so much fog that it all turned black and I couldn't see anything. I felt myself waking up, so I freaked out a little and started telling myself to focus on the dream. I heard lots of noises, like a train station and I could almost see the train station itself, but... then I REALLY woke up.

Nice, every 'almost' moment is a step to success.

Again, nothing really all that interesting to say. I had an interesting dream where I was writing a song and I really loved the melody and the lyrics I had, but I can't remember anything about it anymore.

I do have a theory, though, that my dream recall is much better when I sleep with some light on, so I'm trying that tonight.

I like music dreams, especially if music is actually something new, created by dream, maybe you could try remembering it or searching for it in lucid and try to recreate it.
And that's an interesting theory, it could be that light keeps your awareness slightly more during sleep and that increases recall, worth trying as long as it's comfortable.

One of my goals was to try to think of a cool idea for a book (in a lucid dream), but a song would be pretty awesome too!

I'm actually not comfortable in the dark, so keeping the lights on is actually nice. I did that last night, but I went to bed at 2AM and got up at 5AM... I rarely remember my dreams when I sleep so little... maybe tonight will be a good, lucid night, though!

Yep, lights on definitely help me! I had the most peculiar dream last night... it lasted for days!!! :O Dream time is always a bit weird for me, but DAYS!? First time this has ever happened to me, I think...

Going to bed MUCH later than usual (4AM), and I've downloaded an app... gonna try it.

Congrats on that dream, time dilation is always an amazing experience.

Thanks, but I didn't it on purpose! It just sort of happened...

Last night, however, there were two times in my dream where I knew I was in a dream, but I wasn't aware enough to gain lucidity. The first time, I used the fact that it was a dream to reassure myself that I could drive the car I had stolen. The second time, I was like "nah, driving away from the cops will be way too hard and I can't be bothered. Time to wake up"

In other news, I have the Dream:ON app now. I haven't really used it that much, though. Only twice and in very short time periods. Here's what I got so far:

On purpose or not, it's still a nice experience.
As for the app... i have no experience with those things because i have nothing to run them on. I wish there was version that worked on PC.

I found out I was using the app in the wrong way... it said to turn all sounds off, but I guess that was for iPhone 4. iPhone 5, I'm supposed to keep the sound on... which I found out when I forgot to turn it off and my alarm rang as loud as it could. I fixed it now, though, so let's see if it works!

Something I've noticed: I've been waking up a bit often with myself... it sounds like I'm sighing/humming. No idea why, but it's a little annoying.

My dream recall is still not good, but! Last night, I had a dream where I knew I could fly cause I knew it was a dream, so I flew around a lot... but I never did get aware/lucid. Anyway, considering this sort of dry spell with my dream recall that I'm going through, I'll take an "almost lucid dream" as amazing progress.

My dreams have been pretty stressful lately... I'm used to dream-adrenaline and I like it, but I'm starting to wake up a bit terrified sometimes. The interesting part is that my dream awareness is getting better. I often know I'm dreaming, even though I still fail to get lucid.

Oh, and totally off-topic, but the mobile version of the site is actually pretty good! I very rarely like mobile versions, but yay!!!

Nightmares tend to increase awareness and even chance to get lucid, in fact many people have their first (unintended) lucid that way.
But don't worry about them, since as you know dreams can't hurt you, and you can also use emotion of fear as a dream sign while you have those dreams.

That's true, I guess I just have to get used to this... again.

Aaaannnd... bedtime.

New competition sign up thread is up by the way: http://www.dreamviews.com/general-lu...read-15-a.html

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know!

Okay, I need to get into the habit of doing reality checks again... I kinda suck at it. I think I'll try the app again, it does help me...

My dream recall is getting slightly better AND I'm a Dream Guide now!!! I'm so happy!!!

Congrats!

Thanks! And right back at ya, Mr. Moderator!
