1. Had a DILD where I spontaneously got lucid. I managed to summon an ice cream for my dream food goal, but instead of a cone, it was a banana I was holding, with strawberry and cookies on top. I changed it to a proper cone, which was awesome because I could see the banana morphing right before my eyes. I woke up while eating the ice cream.

2. Stayed still and imagined the last scene with the ice cream, and entered the dream again. This time there was an ocean near me, and I considered doing the TOTM but I chickened out (ophie you're right, oceans are kinda creepy esp at nighttime). I decided to do my month goals instead, and I remembered to flip a table. I summoned a large wooden table, and flipped it. It wasn't as heavy as I'd thought it would be. I put it upright and flipped it one more time. Then my mom entered my room and I woke up again.

3. I DEILDed again, and I was glad my mom left right away and didn't wake me up. I yelled out for my dream guide a few times while walking around touching objects like the trees and rubbing my hands. I woke up again. Because my mom entered the room yet again.

4. My mom called me, and I focused real hard on reentering the dream and ignoring her (sorry mom). Success. My mom must've left after I didn't respond. I was back in the last dream scene, and there was an man standing in the corner, looking at me. I tried to go near him, but this time my mom woke me up and shook me until I finally got up.


The only reason I remembered was because I sorta made "totems" and memorized every scene I reentered when I DEILDed. So it was easier to recall when I finally woke up. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm definitely happy that I'm kinda getting better at recognizing when I wake up and attempt DEILDs. To be honest, nothing beats the feeling of knowing that you were just awake, and then slipping into the dream, like.. Gaaaa the feeling is priceless. Anywhoo I must go and take care of some more stuff, just figured to type it out now in case I can't come back for a bit with my friend's wake and all.

I'm also hoping to talk to someone who works with SSILD, so I can get some questions answered about this weird WBTB and nap lucids I'm getting lately.

Thanks, and it's alright. I'm really sad, but kinda happy because we were expecting it for quite a while now, and we said our goodbyes properly. So that was nice, instead of her just going away suddenly, we got to talk and work things out, and she wasn't bitter about it too. I've been grieving all day and talking on DV helps a lot in comforting me

Also, that's very good to hear, haithem. Having vivid dreams and semi-lucids means you're on your way!

And yea, I should PM CosmicIron..

*gives haithem a lucidity hug*

Papa pegging!

Nice to see you're doing well. How did your 69th go? .

oh,i see,,,,,
thx for the lucidity hug,am gonna start practicing in matter of days.

I had 2 lucids today on my afternoon nap. The first one was a DILD and the second a DEILD. Control was a bit crappy, only got to do some low flying, and I couldn't summon anything.

The lucid potion is wearing off! x) Lol.

This week has been very weird yet amazing. I'm not quite sute why I'm having a lucid blast, though I suspect it greatly has to do with me practicing SSILD. Which is weird because I've tried it before, and I never got results like these

Also, it seems to work best during naps, and after WBTBs.

Spoiler for September lucid goals:

•Punch a gorilla
•Let it snow
•Be a mermaid
•Watch an aurora
•Sing
•Flip a table
•Call out for my DG
•Eat dream food

you can read in the SILD tutorial that you must NEVER practice it right befor sleep,it's designed to be practiced after a WBTB.

Yep. I've read it a dozen times before I started practicing it. I figured I would try it before bed too so I will know the differences firsthand. I also noticed that there seems to be no definite reason why SSILD works. I wonder....

Btw, how is it going with your dreaming? Have you decided on starting yet?

i hope to start this sunday.

Only recalled one slightly long dream this morning, but I had 2 lucids on my afternoon nap. I managed to make it snow in the first one, and not much in the second.

Lucid #73: Let It Snow

I was thinking about doing my goal "be a mermaid" along with the advanced ToTM, kind of like turn into a mermaid AND explore the ocean during the cretaceous era. I'm having a bit of a problem, because even though I know it's a dream, I'm afraid the dinosaurs will frighten me too much that I wake up or lose lucidity, or if I try to fight them off, my powers won't work. Lol.

I'm getting back to school again soon, and I'm kinda sad that I won't have time for afternoon naps anymore.

Hmm I tend to feel a lot in dreams, as well as smell things distinctly. Dunno why, probably because I am in a chemistry laboratory all the time and we always smell stuff in there. I think doing that everyday tends to carry over my senses when I'm dreaming.

Also, that's awesome! You'll be lucid in no time

I think changing the weather in lucid dreams is a great test of skills. So awesome paigey.

I feel for you on the underwater dino fear. When you're underwater, you're out of your natural element, so you feel more vulnerable when prehistoric giants start to appear. But what a great way to break through, as Reece would put it, and truly accept that you're not really there. So anything can happen and you'll wake up just fine eventually. I enjoy the existential aspect of these intense, gory tasks. Like your gorilla punch. I'm still laughing at that one

Thonks thonks :3

No lucid naps today, I was quite busy so I wasn't able to take a nap. Also school again tomorrow, so no more afternoon naps for a bit.

Why hello there, Mr. MILD! We'll be spending a lot of time for now

Also, nice podcast as usual @OpheliaBlue and RareCola

You're doing so awesome :O

It's hard to believe that you joined in March, I mean, you're on 74 already! Keep up the good work you...you...Asian.

One more thing: IRC seems to be throttling me a lot .

D'awww thanks Papaloo. My secret is.....

Spoiler for the secret:

Non-stop enthusiasm! Like srsly, non-stop. Even when I get dry spells, I think "well the only way this dry spell's gonna end is with a lucid!". i eat, and I think "omg lucid dreaming is so cool i'm gonna do it". i take a shower. Omg lucid dreaming is so cool i'm gonna do it. i go to school. Omg lucid dreaming is so cool i'm gonna do it. Hahaha

Oh and yea, it keeps throttling me too! D:

thanx for sharing your secret,gonna work with it from now on

Hell yes. Everyone might think I'm crazy but I talk to everyone about it lol but I have to share. What I don't understand is why no one else around me has this enthusiastic outlook on lucid dreams or dreaming at all I wish they did. But I well I'm glad I have this site and u PAIGEY

I had a WILD this morning!

I was hoping I'd have one, and I had a feeling my chances were greater because I was cramming for school. The last 2 WILDs I had were under similar circumstances. This time it happened again:

Lucid #75: WILD

The odd thing is, when I woke up, 45 minutes had passed already. This makes me really curious. I was aware the whole time, and I could have sworn the whole thing only lasted less than 5 minutes! I wonder how that works: did everything happen in ultraslow motion in real time? And did my mind just make me think and feel like it was 5 minutes? Weird.

Any ideas anyone?

Awwyea! That's awesome Wurlman! I'm glad to have you too :3


(i'm gonna stop now, people will start throwing up hahah)

really good paigeyemps,you sure are persistent,as for what you asked,i think we perceive time differently in our dreams,i've read someone's DJ where he claims that he dreamt a 15 day lucid dream,maybe that happened to you,or you may had another dream after or before your lucid and forgot about it,who knows?!!

Ahh yea I've read some stuff where they describe how different time seems to be in dreams. I find it really amazing that in some dreams, you can feel like it's 15 days, but it's actually 5 hours irl. But at the same time you can also have dreams that feel like it's 5 minutes but it's actually an hour irl. Fascinating how the mind can do oppposite things in different times!

And thanks! Things have been working out good this month :3

yeah,i don't why,but sep always seem to be good for lucidity,i hadd an LD without even practicing,i wonder why?

Well you've been practicing too :3 Doing some awareness and just thinking about lucid dreaming in general helps a lot. So good job! i hope you get your ac fixed and everything goes back to normal! Just keep practicing whenever you can, and keep up the enthusiasm :3
