Well, those dreams happen, but try to not be negative about them if possible! And good luck with this night, also:
I see you still need to do more work on confidence! :PQuote:

My nightmares are still pretty bad, but I got a small lucid dream last night. :) I was in a store and I started singing "Jingle Bells". Everyone around me started singing and dancing, it was fun. I realised it was a dream, so I raised my hands to make them all shut up. Then I started "November, October, September, August, Ju... July? June... Ma... May?" and then my alarm went off.
The rest of the night was about stars blowing up in the sky and falling on us and killing everybody. Not exactly as fun as singing and dancing with DCs.
Congrats on lucid, and you were halfway here on TOTM, nice! :)
As for nightmares, maybe you should not focus on them so much and treat them as normal dreams? Alternatively get lucid in one and defeat your fears, you can even try to use them as dream sign!
I don't mind nightmares too much (I actually enjoy the adrenaline), but the latest nightmares I've had aren't "fun" nightmares, they're just really dark, depressing nightmares... and that's why they affect me so much, instead of waking up after living an adventure, I wake up in a terrible mood. :(
However, I did have another lucid dream last night. :) I tried to summon myself, but summoning myself seems to be harder than I thought. I summoned a mirror instead, cause I figured I could talk to my reflection. Turns out I can't. So I decided to try the months thing again... I started with "Dectober". :| Then I remembered that "Dectober" is the last month, and I'm supposed to start with "Noctober". :| I finally got it right with "November", then I went to "October", then "Septober"... :| I realised there was something wrong with that, so I started again... "November", "October", "September!!!", "August", "July" and I woke up. I'll get there sometime...
One more lucid dream. I tried to summon the main character of the book I'm writing... it didn't work. I tried to think of something else to do, but I ended up feeling discouraged, since I just wanted to get more ideas for my story, so I woke myself up. :(
I've had five lucid dreams this month! :O Three of them have been in the last four nights, this is crazy! I think I'm learning how to identify that "this is a dream" feeling better. :)
20 dreams since July, 1st! Going well! :D
Very nice! Keep it up! I know I dreamed last night, and I know it involved Robert (as most of them seem to) but I can't remember what happened!
Five lucid per month, that's some awesome progress! Congrats! :clap:
Another lucid dream and I got to do the TOTM!!! :D Here!
Awesome! Maybe try one of advanced ones next? :)
Also periodical reality checks once lucid and/or just thinking 'I am dreaming' can help to deal with lucidity loss.
That actually was an advanced task. :P But yeah, I need to work on stabilization, I always forget to do that. :oops:
Thanks! :) I have an app called "RealityCheck", it makes a noise once every 15-45 minutes. Whenever I hear that sound, I count my fingers and look around, checking if everything looks normal. Before I go to bed, I lie down for a few seconds, setting goals for my lucid dreams. :)
Oh, whoops, haha, kinda forgot which one which for a bit here. Well then you could try second advanced one(can be good for teleport or fast flight practice) or bonus one! ;)Quote:

Congrats and well done on TOTM. :) Was also nice attempt on bonus task anyways, next time you'll do it properly! ;)
Been really sick for the past three days. Bright side is that all I do is sleep and my dreams are REALLY vivid, because of the fever. On the other hand, my dreams are also messed up and I'm so out of it, both in waking life and inside my dreams, that I doubt I'll get any lucids. Can barely get out of the bed, tbh.
Get well soon! :)
Awwr, i hope you'll get better soon!
Finished the last semester of 2013 with 24 LDs! :D
I'm going to start over now, and let's see... I had a (semi) LD from 31st to 1st (I was in an elevator, it broke down, I was freaking out, noticed it was a dream and used my "powers" to open the elevator door so that I could leave... then, I lost lucidity), another LD from 1st to 2nd (I was running away from some people, thought it'd be much easier if I could just fly away, realised it was a dream and flew away. I thought about doing something else, but I had no goals in mind, so I just flew around until I woke up) and another LD this morning (my mum had bought two new dogs - even though she's stated many times in real life she doesn't want any more dogs after ours dies - and I kept thinking that was way too weird, so I thought it could only be a dream, I left myself fall on the floor, but it didn't quite happen, so I checked my hands, I had five fingers, but one of them looked weird, as it were broken. I jumped through the window - it was closed, but I went through it anyway - flew around a lot, got to the ground and lost lucidity).
So three LDs for 2014 so far! :D
Welcome back! :welcome: And that's a very good start! :)
Thanks! :D
I've been pretty happy with my dreams this year. My first dream this year was of a lovely apocalypse... beautiful, dark purple sky, lots of gorgeous tornadoes showing up and lightning making the sky brighter for a few seconds. I mean, in real life, that'd be scary, but the images were really pretty. :lol:
Okay, a few things:
I rarely do RCs anymore. I know, I deserve a good spanking or something. I'll turn the RealityCheck app on next week and stop being so lazy with something so simple.
My dreams have been pretty vivid, so yay!
I haven't had any goals lately, so now I'm starting a new list for this year.
2014
1. fly OK
2. go through something solid OK
3. summon someone famous
4. talk to the characters from my book
5. talk to myself
6. task of the month (January)
7. turn into someone else
8. turn into an animal
Oh! And I also plan on going back to my dream journal. The poor thing has been abandoned for too long, but not anymore!
Had a lucid dream while napping and found out that my dream guide is Professor Oak from Pokemon! :lol:
Oh, and that makes four lucid dreams this year already... Not bad!
