Thread: Paige's Workbook :)

Congratulations on the lucids! Good stuff. I really like the idea of pulling off 2 in a single morning. Someday.

But hang on now... do you mean you actually got robbed? As in, like, physically robber IWL? I hope not!!

I'm afraid so and to top it all off, my tuition money (which I personally saved up in hopes of "getting myself through college") has been taken, and I was gonna pay it for my finals tomorrow. Dang. Hmmmmpf.

But anyway, in my first lucid some guys were attacking, so I waterbended some canal water at them. O___O
Tried to earthbend but it didn't work as usual. The second lucid, I didn't do much. I thought about the tasks but had a hard time remembering, until my alarm woke me up.

I hope all these strong emotions won't set me back too much. I am so gonna rage in my next lucid. >:-}

I'am so sorry paigeyemps.This must be a sad time for you, but you sure have a positive attitude, and that's great.

And congratulation on those lucids.I'am sure you kicked a** using your waterbending skills.I can't wait to read them.

Thanks haithem I probably won't type up my lucids in my DJ this time. They were really short and basically what happened is I got lucid, walked around and saw some guys running after me. I saw some canals and waterbended at them. I lost lucidity soon after that.

Also, what a coincidence! I read you had 2 lucids as well congrats again

Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear that. That is so uncool. I hope that everything will be all right for you!

You're not going to believe this, but I've seen not even one second of Avatar: The Last Airbender. All of this waterbending, earthbending, etc. looks really interesting to me. These shows sound like great LD source material!

I once tried to see if Wife was interested in watching some of them with me but she apparently saw the movie and didn't like it very much. I've heard that the original show is like 50 million times better, though, so I need to convince her.

Oh for sure!! The original series was so much better. The movie they made was kinda crappy tbh hehehe


Also, I had another lucid today. I slept for 12 hours because of depression ( ) so I had a lot of dream time. I did the advanced TOTM. I'll type it up later when I get back from school.

You are amazing paigey! Remember that, cuz years later when you look back, all that crap won't seem so big anymore. Plus you had a lucid despite probably being really stressed.

Awesome!! Now that's how you bounce back! Congratulations on the TotM success. Looking forward to reading it!

You un-ziped your head, that's one cool idea, and I was amazed that your brain was able to actually simulate the sensation of having a pumpkin head. It most of be a great experience.I can't wait to try it out.
keep on dreaming!

Yea that was really cool. I was afraid i wont have the guts to slice of my head or something, so i thought about something less brutal.

Recalled so many dreams this morning, and most of them were really weird :O

I posted in the dream snippets.

Ffff

I typed out something long this morning, I thought it went through but I guess it didn't.

Long story short, I had a lucid today! And I got to earthbend successfully!

Also, there was this vampire dude who was showing off his skills, putting us in danger (apparently I was one too). I remembered the TOTM and asked him to bite me, but he said I was already a vampire so it wouldn't work. Lost lucidity shortly thereafter.

Maybe next time! :3

I can't believe the nerve of that dirty rotten lying DC!

Had a really long dream where it kept shifting a lot. It happened along a river, and every few meters or so, there would be a different plot or storyline. I woke up really confused.

Also, I have decided to increase my awareness practices at night, including my reality checks. This is because of my newfound dreamsign, where most of my dreams happen at night. Hopefully, this boosts my chances of becoming lucid.

Trippy!! I had a river dream early this morning as well!

That's not a bad idea actually, I mean for anyone. If most of your dreams occur in a certain place or time, that would be when and where to up awareness. For me, nearly every LD starts out in my bed, so that's when I up my awareness. It's helped me lower the number of FAs to nearly zip. But I have a lot of nonlucids with my mom at her house, so I'll have to remember to up my awareness then too. Good idea!

Had a really vivid lucid this morning!

I had a table flip me :3 Also, I asked and yelled for my dream guide, and a DC replied, "Her name is Claire" and I was like "wuuut that's Oreo's dream guide"

It was awkward. Haha. Probably post the dream when i get back from school

You are absolutely killing it lately, Paige. I am seriously impressed!

You've hit a great stride... keep it up!!

Thanks Canis! I'm getting really excited because I'm almost on vacation!

Had a sleepover at my cousin's place. I had some really weird dreams, which I only recalled halfway throughout the day. It really threw me off because I usually remember dreams when I wake up, and the ones I remember at random times in the day are very few.

Which makes me wonder: why do you guys think we have a sudden change in dream activity and recall when we don't sleep at home?

I just had a totally random thought today. So basically I've been listening to this science podcast, and it said something about sleep. In one example, they studied 4 ducks. They would line up and face the same way. The ducks in the inner side would close both eyes and go to sleep. The ducks on the outer side would have one of their eyes open (the one farthest from the middle of the line). Then the two ducks in the middle would wake up, and switch places with the outer ones. This time they will be the ones with one of their eyes open. They do this continuously.

So they said it has something to do with survival instincts. Whenever they sleep, they have one side of their brain awake, because if it was completely shut down, they are in danger for predators. Dolphins do the same too. Since they need to surface every so often, whenever they sleep, they have half their brains awake as well. One half sleeps, while the other maintains motor control so they kinda float at the surface to breathe throughout sleep. Apparently this is the case for all types of animals, though some are more obvious than others.

So now the question is, what about humans? What happened? Well apparently, they have a theory. Animals have half their brain awake for survival reasons– being out in the wild is very dangerous. But over time, humans evolved and found safety and comfort in their own homes – with locks and walls and a roof. This could be why humans learned to sleep more fully, and don't require one eye open while sleeping (lol imagine that). Though, technically we are not absolutely unaware. There is a small part of us that can pick up on external noises and stimuli, and why sometimes a faint sound of an alarm wakes us up right away. These are for survival too. If we were completely knocked out, we would be attacked easily because we had no survival instincts.

Okay that was sooo long, but that made me think. Could that be the reason why we sleep uneasily in other people's homes? And could that be why we always seem to sleep lightly and wake up at the smallest sounds? Because to me, that makes sense. If we're not used to a certain place, then it stands to reason that we get hyper aware of our surroundings when sleeping, due to survival reasons.

Mehh I dunno. What do you guys think?

Awesome thought. I don't have much to add but I totally agree. I had a sleep study done once and I about laughed when I realized how big of a joke it was. If you want to do a sleep study it it needs to done at home without wires. Also Hotels are the worst. I think I feel the least safe there. I wake every 30mins!

I agree that a change in environment will inevitably make you sleep more lightly. However once humans began sleeping in homes human evolution pretty much stopped (evolution is like a sieve, only the strongest minorities survive. By the time humans live in homes they probably already reached a point where the majority of them would reproduce, and would have stopped biologically evolving). Humans actually have a pretty "average" awareness among animals. Bats, for example, sleep for 22 hours(!) a day because they have literally no predators (how the hell can find a sleeping bat in a labyrinth of a pitch black cave?). Sheep sleep about 2 hours a day because they sleep in open paddocks and get eaten by everything. Lions sleep about 14 I think and are really unaware. It seems to make sense that humans are somewhere between lions and sheep in terms of required sleep awareness/length while they were still "wild" (not in homes).

Interesting! we should all go back to the wild and go survivor mode haha i wonder how much sleep we'll have then.


Also, I had two lucids today! In one, I was able to cook some bacon, and man they smelled amazing! *drools*
The other one I just flew and did some usual waterbending.
