Thread: Paige's Workbook :)

Woohoo! Joining the class

2nd SEMESTER STARTS HERE

Woo had a successful WILD yesterday! My very first decently induced WILD: http://www.dreamviews.com/f156/what-...1/#post1904674

Yessss I had my 2nd WILD this morning! Here's the DJ entry: clickclick

Spoiler for July goals:

[ ] Achieve a task (for the month or year)
[/] Have another WILD
[ ] Sit on a cloud
[/] Get lucid 2 nights in a row
[ ] Eat dream food
[ ] Call out for my DG (even if there is no response)
[/] Fly with angel wings
[ ] Have at least 10 lucids in total

July lucid count so far: 5

See.. told you it was progress. I think what we talked about chat is relevant still. Not sure if you've read this thread either, Opheliablue, but check it out; http://www.dreamviews.com/f14/master...-dreams-48095/
Specifically the last section of the post - the 'need to stabilize' is a schema. there's actually no need to stabilize

ZOMG I HAD A LUCID!! It was very short but nice. I came home from school at lunchtime and went on chat. Then my PC crashed and I was too tired to reboot so I decided to take a 45 minute nap instead, since I had to go back to school in an hour.

You can read my entry about it here.

It was very unexpected and gaaahhhhh finally after two weeks!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?! BANANAS!! LOTS AND LOTS OF BANANAS!!

I know, I've read that before. I agree with most of that article. (I have just a few reservations, but I won't hash them out here).

That said, I absolutely never needed a cape to fly

Hmmmm I will have to keep that schema thing in mind constantly! :O

Thanks for all your help profs!!

************************************************** **************************************
Last night I WBTBed successfully! I had more time because of the weekend and all :3 I had one lucid which lasted about a minute or so. Sadly, I spent most of it just walking and touching objects, as I always forget my goals when I am in the dream already. Good thing is, my LDs are starting to increase in duration

Yay, lucid! told you it was progress!

Hello hello hello! I had another lucid today! =))

I slept at around 1 am, and woke up for school at 6. Then I decided to skip school because I only had one subject, and I wasn't feeling very well. I was up for about 30 minutes until I decided to go back to sleep.

Ta-da! I had a lucid, and a few non-lucids...

You can read about it here.

I wasn't planning for it, but I guess it turned out I did WBTB+MILD! Hooray! I can barely contain my excitement! Can you tell?


Also, I don't know why, but I didn't think about stabilizing, and the dream went okay. Probably because of the whole schema thing Prof Forceez said?


Guess the whole 2 week hiatus wasn't such a bad thing after all

And also, my friend is getting better so I won't have to worry as much anymore

Woohoo I had a DEILD tonight. I went for a nap at about 7 pm and woke up at 11 pm. Somewhere in between, I woke up a bit and rolled over. Ta-da! A lucid! =)

It was quite short. When I got lucid, I rubbed my hands and plugged my nose. Also, I specifically paid much attention to the noseplug since I didn't want it to become a trivial task and not work in the future (like what happened with the finger-through-palm). I've had a few LD's before and I've been slightly taking them for granted. I've been paying less attention to the RCs which I shouldn't!! So this time around I'm determined to really look around and observe carefully. When I did it with the noseplug in my dream earlier, I found it to be even more amazing how I could breathe and everything looked so normal and life-like, it was like the first time I had a lucid!

So if I understand what you're saying correctly, you did the noseplug after you already knew that you were lucid, and that made things even more clear for you? I'm interested.

Well done on the DEILD by the way!

Thanks! And, not quite. It's just that usually in my lucids, when I noseplug, I just go, "Oh I can breathe, cool!"... But when I noseplugged in the last lucid, I decided to really take time and see how my breath comes in and out, and how it feels to really breathe in the dream. So for me, it was very exciting when I really focused on it because I truly understood how the dream defied logic and all.

I'm not very good at explaining lol sorryyy

Indeed! Yeeehaaa XD

Schoolweek's coming up, probably only gonna be able to WBTB on Tuesdays and Thursdays..but I'll practice all day awareness.

I did my third DJ entry tonight as well. You can read it here.

I recalled 2 dreams from last night.

The last one was incredibly long and vivid. I can clearly remember everything that happened from beginning to end, and the whole dream had a sensible storyline (though the settings and characters were weird). It was about my friends and me trying to break up this girl named Diana and this dude named Klaus.

The earlier dream was shorter. It was about me hearing this very loud popping in my ears, and I apparently became deaf. I couldn't hear what the DCs were saying, I can only remember hearing an annoying buzzing sound. I think I may have been in SP then, because the feeling felt familiar (buzzing sound and tingly sensations), and I was sorta drifting in and out of consciousness.

Hooray for the longest and most vivid dream yet!

Yeah the first thing I thought of the moment you said you heard popping in your ears and the subsequent buzzing was SP vibrations. You were in the perfect state there for a WILD. Remember those sounds and feelings, they can help you achieve a WILD or DEILD.

Well done on the vivid dream by the way!

I had a lucid last night! Awwwyeeeaa 3rd night in a row!

Merlin and Forceez were in my dream too. They helped me get lucid. I was outside my house and they came to me and said, "Silly girl! You're dreaming." Then I RCed and rubbed my hands and everything went HD. I was studying my hands for a few seconds when another DC (an old deceased friend) came and took me away. Then I lost lucidity.




And also, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, Professor OpheliaBlue! <3 and all your moms out there (:=3

Hooray for long and vivid dreams! Personally they're my favourite since they can be as fun as lucids

Yup! I totally didn't think of it I thought it was just part of my dream. I hope I remember next time! Thanks!

Thanks Lisa and RC

I'm quite relieved I had lucids again after quite some time of not having them. I was afraid WBTB+MILD wouldn't work for me anymore =)
But huzzah! I'm back on track =)

Ehh PC was acting up yesterday so I couldn't post properly. The night before last, I had 2 lucids! I also had two FA's, both of which made me lucid.

This morning I recalled 5 dreams which were really weird. Some were about nursery rhymes and the others were about me murdering my baby cousin ...

Know what, my bad. I didn't mean for that to sound like a criticism Paige. It's really more of a progression.

I just meant remember those feelings as much as you can, so they will become more of a concrete thing. That way, each time you feel vibrations, or buzzing, or any kind of deafness or blindness, you'll be more likely to hone in on the fact that it could be one of the lucid dreaming stages.

I am blind in my left eye at the onset of nearly half of my lucid dreams, just FYI.

Oh, no no! Not at all! Don't worry about it :3 And also, any criticism is always welcome



I just woke up from a nap and I had the strangest dream. I was playing an adventure game where you find clues and objects in order to solve a mystery. It felt pretty long. In the end, I solved it then, had an FA which I didn't catch. Haha

I've been RCing everytime I wake up, perhaps it hasn't bled into my subconscious yet?

Blasted FA's! They are our subconscious's little private jokes on us

Yeah that can take time unfortunately. But good job on keeping them up every morning!

D: D: D:

This morning my alarm clock was broken and I was rushing for school, I didn't have time to lay and think about my dreams. Thus, I couldn't recall anything, not even a fragment :'(

I just, I...

:'(

This morning I recalled 5 different dreams. Among them, one stood out the most. It was a dream about...


The Beautiful Winged Man
^ le click!


Hmm so there's this thing I do in my dreams that I only realized now. Many times in my dream, I randomly snap my fingers. I noticed that when I snap, they produce a very distinct, sharp and loud sound. Consequently, the dream turns more vivid.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, when I've actually used this snapping thing once or twice in a lucid. The moment I snap, the sound makes my ears ring in a weird way, and the visuals improve a lot.

Thus, I was thinking of using this as my own personal technique of stabilizing/enhancing my dream quality.

~Hoping for the best!
