I've been going to bed too late and waking too early. Last night, I only had three hours of sleep, it's bad. I'm going to try to go bed earlier tonight.

My dreams, however, are pretty vivid. I've been killing some people in all of them, though.

Last night, my dream character!cousin did a reality check right in front of me and I didn't become lucid. And he even told me "you're the one who told me about lucid dreams!", and I still failed to realise I was dreaming haha

I've been extremely powerful in my dreams lately. As in "oh, this dude wants to kill me? I'LL FLY AND MAKE IT RAIN ON HIM AND MAKE HIM CHOKE ON AIR AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHO GETS TO KILL WHO HERE!!!", but surprisingly, that hasn't helped me get lucid. I must think very highly of myself, huh?

I've been having the weirdest dreams. They're all somewhat stressful and I end up waking up more tired than before I had gone to bed. Dreaming can truly be exhausting sometimes... those dreams are all really vivid and I'm usually really powerful (can jump so high it's almost like flying, can run super fast, can control the weather/universe), but unfortunately being powerful doesn't make the dreams any better... especially the ones where I'm "ordinary". The dreams are all dark, as in it's pretty much always night, there are always people dying and/or hurt. I constantly have to hide or run away.

Not fun. I need to get lucid.

Another crazy, creepy dream, in which I was stuck in the elevator with some people and two guys wanted to rape us all. It ended with me killing them. Better than getting dream!raped, but... still not fun.

Going to bed soon (OH GOD IS IT ALREADY 4M ALREADY WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN), and I'm going to try this. Harry Potter universe, HERE I GO!!!

Oh, so now it's almost 5am. Going to bed early: either I suck at it, or I take the "early" part of it too literally.

Either way, I suck.

BEDTIME

In my dream last night, I saw an explosion. The visual was amazing, but the sound and the lack of effect it had on me even though I was close were disappointing. I was expecting it to be BOOOMMMM and CRAAAHSSHSHSHSH and then a huge wave of air would hit me, but... nope, nothing. The explosion's sound was a "pop". I was like "seriously, brain?" and then the scene rewinded, but the same thing happened. I got angry and yelled "I'll show you a real explosion when I get lucid, you just wait!"

...no, not once did I realise it was a dream.

So many close ones! Also you should not focus on negativity in dreams, there are some dream themes that i dont like that happen sometimes in my dreams, but i just dont mind them when they do and focus on dream themes that i like more.
And that's a nice idea with music(Maybe i should try it sometime as well, tho with animes or video games since i dont usually watch movies), as long as you can fall asleep while listening ofcourse.

I ended up having a HIMYM dream with the HP soundtrack two nights ago! I didn't try it last night, though... maybe I should try it tonight.

Anyway! Bedtime!

Today was my 100th dream journal entry!!!

I tried taking a nap while listening to the HP soundtrack... I know I had a dream, probably more than one, but I can't remember anything. Then again, it's so damn hot, it was hard enough just to fall asleep.

I'll try again when I go to bed for the night.

Congrats on your 100th entry, and good luck! Try not to focus too much on falling asleep part itself as it tends to work quite opposite in that case.

Going to bed with some music on again... I'll try this until it works!

Decided to add more songs to make it more interesting. Currently using "Hedwig's Theme" from Harry Potter, "The Imperial March" and "Across The Stars (Love Theme)" from Star Wars and "The Uruk-hai" from LOTR. If I don't have epic dreams, then there's something wrong with me.

Had a lucid this morning! Didn't accomplish much, but still fun! Fifth one this year!

Congrats!

Thanks! Had another one this weekend, gonna copy/paste from the TOTM thread:


I had a lucid dream from Saturday to Sunday and it took me a while to remember the task (I kept thinking that I had to ask a DC about their NY resolutions). Finally, while I was dream!jogging around a mountain (I wasn't very lucid, I guess...), I ran into a woman and remembered about the soulmate thing.

Me: Hey! Wait, stop running!
DC: *stops running*
Me: I need to know about my soulmate, who should I date?
DC: Oh, dear, no, no! Nobody! *hugs me* You need to love yourself first, you're your soulmate, forget dating! *lets me go* Love yourself. *starts running again*

Sixth lucid dream this year!

That's an interesting response to the question, congrats on lucid and TOTM!

It was really cool!

I had another lucid last night! It lasted for about fifteen seconds, but those were very vivid seconds. The cool thing is that I managed to summon someone without shouting their name, which is a first for me. Progress!

Awesome!
Next, summoning in direct view?

Maybe...

My next goal is to summon myself and ask myself to tell me something about myself. Wow, that was confusing.

After that, I'm going to ask myself to take me to the world I'm writing about. I need help with my book...

Took a nap this evening and had sleep paralysis when I woke up.

I opened my eyes, was too exhausted, so closed them again. I immediately couldn't move at all and felt really scared. I heard a girl giggling behind me, but it sounded like she didn't want to make noise, as if she didn't know I wasn't asleep. So for a few seconds, I didn't do anything, cause I didn't want her to find out I was awake. Then I remembered it was SP, there was nobody in the house and that was just a hallucination, so I started focusing on opening and closing my hand and in a matter of like five seconds SP was gone.

I had forgotten how terrifying it is. I know it can be used for LD, but I honestly just want it to be over whenever it happens.
