      Completed the advanced ToTM as well as my last personal goal:

      Lucid #76: Advanced ToTM - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

      Spoiler for September lucid goals:


      I'm gonna use the rest of the month to try out some random stuff when I get lucid

      Maybe it's a dream and if I scream, it will burst at the seams.

      Had a really weird night. Went to bet at midnight and woke up at 6 am. All throughout the night, I kept tossing and turning for no apparent reason. I'd never experienced something like this. At one point I thought about DEILDing, but I kept waking up about every 3 minutes or so. It was uncomfortable and very frustrating. :S

      Any ideas?

      I've been getting similar on and off recently for some reason! It's really good for dream recall, but also somewhat frustrating. Mine's not as extreme as every 3 minutes though, usually about 20-30 minutes.
      Check out my DreamViews Podcast with OpheliaBlue!

      The best reason for having dreams is that in dreams no reasons are necessary.

      No sailor controls the sea. Only a foolish sailor would say such a thing. Similarly, no lucid dreamer controls the dream.
      Like a sailor on the sea, we lucid dreamers direct our perceptual awareness within the larger state of dreaming.

      2 lucids today!

      Lucid #77 & 78 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

      Things about the lucids that made me happy:
      •Staying calm during sleep paralysis
      •Catching a false awakening
      •Remembering something from waking life
      •Having decent dream control with the tasks I was planning to do
      •Keeping the dream going without stabilization

      I just have to say, schemas are awesome. I didn't think about stabilization so my mind didn't see the need to make the dream unstable for me to stabilize. (not sure if that made sense lol)

      I completely understand what you mean,i recall when i had my first lucid moment,back then I didn't heared of the stabilization concept yet,I didn't stabilize and the dream didn't became unstable.
      now i try to stabilize as soon as i become lucid,and it's like my mind destabilize the dream for me to stabilize it
      I do have a question though,how come you didn't think of stabilization,because for me it's the only thing i think of when i become lucid.

      Thank you

      And well, for the first few months of lucid dreaming, I always thought I needed to stabilize. Then I realized, all those times I didn't know about lucid dreaming and stabilization, it went fine. So now everytime I get ready for bed, I repeat my goals and do some mantras about them. I don't try thinking about 'staying lucid' or 'stabilizing'. Basically anything that reminds me of stabilization, I put aside before sleeping. So it's kind of like insisting and deceiving myself that I will be lucid, and I will fly. There's nothing more to it.

      But of course that might not work for everyone, so suggest trying out everything first before you rule it out

      Slept for 15 hours straight today. I guess my body was making up for the past few weeks where I have only been sleeping an average of 3-4 hours every night. Mannnn it felt really good. I had 3 reaaaally long dreams. That is all for now.

      Maybe it's a dream and if I scream, it will burst at the seams.

      Less recall for the past few days. I've been having a fever and colds. Also, I'm having really weird dreams with lots of distortion. D:

      What do you do in the morning on school days? Do you use an alarm? If so, does that impact your recall

      On schooldays I get up about 30 mins earlier to journal, and yep I use an alarm or I never will be able to get up haha. It impacts my dream recall a lot when I get small amounts of sleep the previous night, and it makes my recall crappy if I have to rush in the morning if I dont wake up on time, since I can't focus and the dreams slip.

      Hey, any lucid dream is a good dream! Congratulations!

      So what was the sensation like of having no control? Were you operating as a disembodied observer or did you simply have no control over what your dream body did?

      Hmm, well I could move around and hold stuff, but no matter how I wanted to summon something, or make someone do something, or make something do something else, it just won't happen. It was very frustrating because being lucid feels so amazing yet I was limited. Haha

      Gaaaah I know what you mean. I had a similar one this morning. It's like, I know how to get lucid, I can stay lucid, no fear of losing lucidity or waking up that much anymore, but sometimes I can't see. So the dream feels wasted in a way. I may sleep with a flashlight from now on, maybe it will carry over. I don't have any advice for your situation though, other than maybe we have contracted a bad case of schema?

      Hey paigeyemps,
      This is an older post i was reading today. It reminded me of something to help relax the body before bed.
      Its something like this:
      When you are laying there wherever you sleep, lie on your back very still.
      Then tense and loosen every muscle in your body starting at your toes, to your scalp, and back. Once you do this a couple times or however many you want, remain still again.
      When you are still, begin focusing your awareness on each muscle that you just tensed and loosened. Let that awareness take the same route as the muscle exercise.
      Also, while doing all this, its a good idea to keep steady breathing.
      Once you are done with the awareness exercise, adjust to your normal sleeping position, establish a steady breathing pattern, and prepare for....the darkness....
      It can take a while to get to sleep from there, and the exercise can be repeated. If you feel it helped, then you become uncomfortable again, try repeating the exercise then and see how it works.
      When I was a kid, I had problems with discomfort, tossing and turning. I would do a similar exercise but I would shake all the different parts of my body at different points. So I would shake my feet, then legs, then arms, and so on. Later that turned to flexing the muscles which worked as well.
      This is also an exercise mentioned in my dream yoga book which was exciting to learn. Their method goes much farther than my intuitive practice so it will probably help even better.
      Heres to a good night sleep

      Aww yep, that could be it! And it's really confusing because it's like everything else is perfect and stable, and you can't so anything. The only upside I can think of is the excitement and unpredictability of the dream environment. So the next time I experience no powers, I'll walk around and let it be, and explore the dream world like a normal world without powers and magic. That could still be pretty awesome right? Walking inside your own mind

      Maybe it's a dream and if I scream, it will burst at the seams.

      Ooh! That's very interesting, I'll be sure to remember this, thanks so much Chimp! I remember reading something about contracting all the muscles in your body for as long as you can, then let it go, relax, and attempt a WILD. It supposedly helped certain people
      get right into the sleep paralysis sensations or something. x)

      I had a lucid last night! I'm really proud of myself for this one. I didn't use any powers or magic. Instead, I personally opted to just explore, and the great thing is that I didn't need to stabilize again, and everything went great. It was basically a blast from the past, probably the 1900's, and I got to personally see what life back then was like. This lucid is very close to my heart.

      Maybe it's a dream and if I scream, it will burst at the seams.

      Whewww I finally got a day off from school. I've been so swamped with pre-finals lately, and I'll be having finals next week so I have a feeling I have and I will be missing out a bit here and there. Fortunately, with this one day break, I can catch up on some much needed sleep, and maybe get my first lucid of the month!

      Haven't had time to analyze last month's DJ entries yet, need to do that soon. Also, I still need to complete my list of lucid goals. I'm thinking it might be fun to jump into a black hole or something, and see where it leads me. Still compiling some interesting ideas I've been having at random moments. Can't wait for finals to finish so I can have my 3-week vacation!! I'm so going to chase some lucids.

      Maybe it's a dream and if I scream, it will burst at the seams.

      Monthly reevaluation

      I analyzed and reread my DJ entries for September, and I found a new set of dream signs:

      •Ocean/beach/large body of water (usually accompanied by waterbending)
      •Night time
      •A particular area in my school
      •Snakes
      •Stairs
      •My best friend
      •Difficulty in running
      •Gymnastics


      I have also made a new list of monthly goals:

      LUCID GOALS
      •Have a table flip me (I flipped a table last time)
      •Jump into a black hole and see where it leads me
      •Capture a soul and put it in a jar (optional - smell/taste it)
      •Cook something
      •Morph into a mystical creature (preferably a dragon, or maybe a unicorn or pegasus or something)
      •Make a dream character laugh
      •Have at least one proper WILD
      •Have at least 10 lucids

      WAKING LIFE GOALS
      •Journal my dreams
      •Practice SSILD
      •Do at least 3 proper WBTB's

      I had a lucid today! I kept turning off my snooze alarms for school so it was like a few seconds of WBTB

      I captured a soul! Lucid #81 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
