Thread: Paige's Workbook :)

Weee I had four lucids this morning and in one of them, I successfully did one of the basic ToTMs which is to let it snow. I think that the lucidity was greatly influenced by me listening to the latest podcast right before bed. Great podcast btw @ Jason and Lisa

Here is the DJ entry: ToTM: Let It Snow (pt. 2); Lucifer's Offer - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Something oddly nice has been happening lately: I've been getting lucids by the bunch, usually by fours. I'm not sure what is triggering it, nor am I complaining (no way!). But it's a bit weird. Also, I seem to get lucid all in the same dream scene. Usually, I would lose lucidity, then wake up. I roll over, drift back to sleep and get lucid again.

I am glad though, that they have been quite stable and vivid, even though I keep forgetting what to do. I would also like to note that I haven't been doing stabilization techniques for a while, and it's going great. The dream doesn't destabilize since I don't expect it to. But of course if it comes to the worst, I will do stabilization techniques to salvage the dream.

Congratulations paigeyemps! and about stabilization, I think you're right. Not expecting the dream to destabilize does make it stable. It's better to keep the stabilization away until we need it, don't you agree?

Indeed! and thanks haithem

I'm really sorry I haven't updated in a while guys. The internet went down and came back just now

Anyway, I had 3 DILDs two days ago. One of them was uneventful and ended quickly. One was decent and I got to do some..personal stuff ;D

The third one was quite cool. I got lucid when I saw my shoes fly up to the ceiling of my room. I ran out and told my mom. She asked me if I was sure it was a ghost, and I told her it was, or else I was dreaming. I nose plugged and became lucid.

I did some firebending, and I took the chance to really study the flame closely. I held up my palm and created fire. I noticed that there was about an inch of space between my palm and the flame. The flame was orange with a bit of blue at the top. I then proceeded to shoot fireballs at random DC's, which I'm sure they weren't happy about.

And more good news! I had a successful WILD (finally!) this morning. I woke up at around 2 am to cram for a test, and tried to go back to sleep at around 4 (my optimum WBTB time is roughly 2 hours). When I lay back down, I decided to try to WILD. After about 15 minutes of dreamy thoughts, i started seeing HI in the form of swirling colors. I remained calm and tried not to really think about anything, just let the HI form. Soon enough, I was staring at a wall with graffiti! It said "POSMA" in typical graffiti writing. I was sure I was in a dream since I was awake all along, I moved my vision to the right, and it worked! I was in the dream scene. Then, uncontrollably, I was suddenly at the back of a pick-up truck with my legs dangling. I studied how it felt. It was cool because it felt so realistic when my legs swayed and I could feel when the car accelerated or slowed down. I woke up soon after because of my school alarm.

Its an exciting time in PaigeLand!

Hello guys, been really hectic the past week. My school thought it would be waaay awesome to give us consecutive tests for a whole week right before Christmas. Lovely. Just. Lovely.



Anyway, after Friday I will be on vacation so I'll have plenty of time to update my workbook as well as do some lucid dreaming thingamajiggas! :3

Guys guys, classes got cancelled so now I'm on vacation two days early! I slept like a baby last night, after three days with only 2 hours of sleep. And and and..i had a lucid!!

This dude was chasing me and a friend. Then I realized I was dreaming and I pulled the dude to me by earthbending the ground he was standing on towards me. Then I bloodbent him, and made him move like a puppet. It sounds really mean,

But it was an awesome experience. Anyway, that's all for now, stuff to do!

All right, Paige!! Congratulations on your early dismissal!

Congratulations, too, on the lucid! You demonstrated some really enviable dream control, as usual. Your {insert element here}-bending is an amazing ability. I like the way that you've really focused on making that your specialty and then found the chance to employ it in so many different kinds of situations.

Enjoy your vacation, your rest, and the lucids ahead of you here at the end of 2012... and the many coming in 2013!

Took a 3 hour nap today, I had a lucid!

And the best thing is that I airbent! This oh so elusive element has been out of my reach ever since I started. Fu yeah. I was running away from my mom when I fell in a ditch. I could feel the wind in my hair as I was falling (mostly because the fan was blowing in my face irl lol). I realized I was dreaming, and I couldn't fly like I wanted. So I summoned an air glider like the one in the show I watch, and I airbent and flew with the glider. It was so nice :')

I woke up about 5 minutes later because my mom woke me up for dinner

Great paigy! doing well as usual. Air bending is one of the hardest elements mostly because you can't imagine bending it properly but you nailed it! congrats!
I wanted to ask you something. What's the thing that makes you very dedicated to lucid dreaming. I try my best but I sometimes just can't practice much. Please share what you have about this.
Keep on dreaming!

Thanks haithem. I'm a very imaginative person, so I guess what really motivates me is the fact that I can do all sorts of things I could never do in real life. I also read other people's experiences and it motivates me even more. And the most important thing that motivates me is the people on here like yourself and the other students and teachers who give me great advice and keep me going

Had two lucids today after about 22 hours of no sleep. In the first one, I remember what I did, but I can't remember how I got lucid. In the second one, I remember how I got lucid but I can't remember what I did.

Anyway, it was probably also because I had so many nonlucids so everything sort of mashed together. I only got around to summoning some people and trying to call out for my dream guide before I woke up.

Gaaah, this is happening to me more and more lately. I'm thinking it's because they're random DILDs, and I wake up and go back to bed so many times after without journaling. Thought that's probably not your issue.. 22 hours of no sleep probably did that haha.

Anyway, congrats on the lucids. Even in spite of your lack of sleep, you continue to be a lucid warrior.

Thanks Ophie!

This morning I almost had a DEILD. It was quite interesting how everything moved in slow motion, and the real world sounds became really distinct. I was struggling to focus on the dream because of what was happening. Eventually I just fell asleep and had some uneventful nonlucids.

How often during the day do you thInk/ or do RC ? Now that u have been doing it for awile now I was just curious if u do less rc's now or more

I do physical reality checks rarely now (fingers through palm, noseplug), probably about 3 times a day. Most of the time I just pay attention to my surroundings and do mental questions like "is this a dream? how did i get here?".

Also, welcome back Wurlman!

I had a lucid today! It was a bit hard to remember because I woke up and fell back asleep for a few hours.

It was spontaneous, and lasted only a few seconds to a minute. I was running from someone and jumped really high. I realized it was a dream and proceeded to fly. I couldn't remember any goals since I had not been planning it for a few days, so I just went with flying and trying to see my wings. They were angel-type wings (my favorite), though they looked too small. I woke up soon after that.

Hiiiii guys! I'm back from my short break, school exams just totally caught me by surprise

I had a lucid this morning, after falling asleep every hour or so (i was cramming for exams). At one point, I woke up and tried to use my ipad but the light flickered a lot and it would vibrate. I plugged my nose and realized I could breathe, and that I was dreaming! I sank myself into my bed and used that to teleport to a new location. I succeeded, though I couldn't remember any goals. So i spent the entire lucid dream looking for a certain someone, unsuccessfully.

But yeah, that lucid was totally unexpected and I'm happy I had it after a while

Awesome, Paige, welcome back! Great job on the lucid!

Only you could have an LD while collapsed from exhaustion on your desk, drooling into your textbook.

Seriously, though, great stuff. Hope your exams went well! (Are going well??)

Rofl. We need to make a task thread just for you paigey, where you have to fall asleep in a different place/position/random and see if you can have a lucid. Members can submit their requests.

Hope your exams went well too!

Exams just suck. They take you by surprise and they can even totally ruin your lucid dreaming routine. Nevertheless you Succeeded achieving a lucid dream. All I have to say is good luck to you and keep on dreaming!

Thanks guys!

While I was away, I wasn't able to attend to my DJ consistently. There were days when I'd recall a lot of dreams but always put off writing it because of so many things I needed to do, and I thought it'd be fine. But just as I suspected, I was wrong. My recall dropped and I stopped having lucids for a while. I'm getting back into it though, and I promise I won't skimp out on my DJ this time!

I became lucid for a little bit this morning!

I was at my old school (as usual) and I wondered why I could jump so high. I realized it was a dream and I thought about the tasks of the month and year but I couldn't remember anything :< I woke up a few seconds after that.

I'm gonna start my old habit of recalling my goals throughout the day, and especially right before bed.

I'm still practicing MILD mostly. My usual nightly routine is:

•No electronics 10-15 minutes before bed or my eyes won't stop itching if I try to sleep right away
•Do mantras in those 10-15 minutes of darkness (and I'm gonna start recalling my goals)
•So basically I do MILD. If I wake up in the night, I try to DEILD. If I fail DEILD by falling back asleep, I can still DILD. If I fail DEILD by waking up too much, I do WBTB+WILD

Oooops forgot to note down, I had a lucid yesterday. Lately I haven't DJed as much as I wanted, but I've been getting lucid after long tiring days, so I guess I have something to be thankful for. After this week I'm gonna set things right. FU MIDTERMS FFUFUFUFUUF
