Current Technique

WBTB+MILD. Works everytime. I have to stop being lazy since I tend to just turn
off the alarm and go back to bed.

Mantras: "Reality check. I am dreaming." & "I will remember this dream."

Notes to self:

-RC everytime there is a major scene change!
-Remember to do the mantras while lucid!
-Dammit Paige, write the dreams in your DJ nao!!

Hey there Paige welcome to the class.

we all know how that feels.

Ooo I ate dream food in an LD recently. Not what I expected at all

Glad you joined the class Paige! You have a really great list of RCs and dream signs already, very inspiring.

Thank you, professors! lol Can't wait to learn so much more from both of you :3

Woohoo I had an LD last night!

I slept at 5:30 pm and woke up at 10 pm. I spent an hour and a half on the internet, downloading stuff and chatting on IRC. Then I returned to bed and did my mantras mentally (I was planning to do my usual WBTB+MILD). I lost track of time and started drifting off, but before I could totally sleep, I regained a bit of consciousness and I found myself in SP. I could feel the tingly sensations and I could hear a buzzing sound in my ears, along with what seemed to be a lot of people talking at the same time. I knew they were auditory HH because I've had them before.

I imagined sinking into the bed, and a few moments later, I was at my school. I was instantly aware that I was dreaming. I RCed to make sure. For some reason I decided to try out the gravity RC by commando crawling (which felt very easy in the dream!). Then I started to walk around and tried to stabilize, but the dream faded before I could do so. I ended up in some non-lucid dreams which I couldn't remember clearly.

Nevertheless, it was an amazing feeling to finally experience transitioning into the dream from SP! And to think it was an unintentional WILD! :3

Congratulations Paige!!!

An unintentional WILD, that's really cool. I like the "sinking through the bed" technique. That one is really effective when you hit SP. I'm really excited that it worked for you!

Congrats on the lucid, paige! I hate dream logic.. I laughed at the commando crawling though x) Perhaps next time you should really make sure you stabilise before you do anything at all.

I planned for WBTB+MILD last night, and guess what. I set the alarm for pm instead of am, so I wasn't able to wake up. Gaaah that was such a stupid mistake lol

Good thing my recall has been pretty good, I remembered 8 dreams, plus a couple of dream fragments.

Also, I went for a roadtrip the other night and slept in the middle of nowhere. I could only remember 1 hazy dream fragment the following day. Not to mention I totally forgot about awareness the entire time.

Bad bad couple of days for me. And schoolweek's coming up again.

I shall be lucid. I shall be lucid. I shall be lucid. Banana.

Yeah I totally forgot to stabilize right away... I always forget what to do when I get into the dream gaaaahhhh XP

But thanks :3 Will try to remember next chance I get

Wasn't able to WBTB last night because of school sched.

Something funny happened today though. I was in class and I RCed via the noseplug. Imagine my shock when I could breathe!!
It took me a moment to realize that my mouth was actually open and I was breathing through it. -.-"

That truly deserved an epic facepalm. Lol.

Anywhoooo I made my second DJ entry tonight! You can read it here.

You can also find my first entry here.

lmao Paige

Your dreams are hilarious by the way. I really enjoy reading them. I understand about the school schedule thing, work often prevents me from being able to take the time I want to devote to my lucid dream practices. Better luck on your days off!

Thanks Forceez!

Last night I had 3 FA's. All of them were the same scene over and over and over. (I woke up in my bed because some kids threw rocks at my window.) It's like my mind was giving me 3 chances to become lucid, and I missed all of them. But hey, I think I'm warming up to it already. Hopefully I will be lucid soon. Real soon.

I also remember some uneventful dreams and fragments like usual.

I am starting to get used to doing an RC everytime there is a major scene change (i.e. going outdoors/indoors), and when I spot my dream signs. I'm also starting to get back on the awareness thing since my slip last weekend.



Hmm so for this week's task about finalizing which induction method I will use: I think I'll stick with my WBTB+MILD. It has worked like a charm for me ever since I started. I might not have as much time on schooldays to do it, but I will stick with it since I don't want to switch methods without really familiarizing it first especially since I'm still new and method-hopping might just frustrate me

I love that. I don't know how many folks share this same trait, but I tend to change scenes in my lucid dreams whenever I walk out the front door of my "house". So going indoor/outdoors in real life is an excellent time to do reality checks. Well done paige, I hadn't realized that until you mentioned it.

Remembered 3 non-lucids today Didn't do much last night, I slept as soon as my head hit the pillow XD

That is all. *bow*

I remember a couple of dream fragments from last night -- just uneventful stuff.

In one of my dreams, I was walking down a narrow street, and I think I realized I was dreaming out of nowhere. It only lasted 3 seconds tops. Then nothing. So now I'm frustrated because I can't remember what happened next, nor can I remember some of my other dreams. So I'm not even really sure if it was a real lucid moment. GAH!

Also, this has nothing to do with dreaming, but today I learned how to move/twitch my ears on demand! Haha

Professors! I might not be on for a while. My best friend is very ill and we're the only family she has, so I'll either be at school or in the hospital or doing medical errands and stuff. But I will make sure to RC continuously and keep up my dream journal! I might just post them late

Anyway, good luck to everyone! And have a good week


(@Forceez, no way I'm leaving DV forever Just thought you should know haha!)

Also, I recalled 6 dreams last night. One of them had something to do with pirates and torture O_O
I have a feeling I might be having weird and disturbing dreams for the next few days or so, due to the medical emergency. Hmmpf :'(

Last night, I didn't get to do much as well. I had a huge headache and I had a cold so I drifted off right away. I did remember 10 different dreams/fragments, and more than half of them were scary D:

Lol.

Tomorrow's my last day of school so AWWWYEAAAA more time for lucids!!

Like i said in chat, don't get frustrated! It's progress

I just thought of an LD goal!

I thought I should write it before I forget.

The goal is.. to ask my DC/subconscious: "WHO THE HELL IS THE MOTHER OF TED'S KIDS?" #HowIMetYourMother

banana.

Remembered 6 dreams/fragments from last night.

Also remembered 3 dreams from my afternoon nap. Guess what? No lucid, but there was a lot of waterbending!! =))))
There was also an oracle lady telling me I was supposed to be an airbender, and that I should "do what needs to be done". O.o creepy

Hmmpf well...

3 lucid experiences this week

And WOW has it really been a month already?!?! Thank you Professors OpheliaBlue and fOrceez! And classmates. For everything. And stuff.

Don't know if I'd have the same enthusiasm and hope and commitment to pursue lucid dreaming if I hadn't been part of this class Thank you goyyysss :')


AND NOW WE SHALL HAVE A PARTY. WITH CONFETTI. AND BANANAS! awwwyeaaaaa!

Haha i have no idea either...maybe it has something to do with the hormones? x)

Recalled 2 whole dreams from last night.. Been pretty stressed lately, lots of schoolwork GAH

Hoping for DILDs for now

I had 2 lucids last night! They both crashed a few seconds into it though. Still, coolio! :3

I dreamt someone was chasing me, then while running, I suddenly became lucid. The moment I stopped running, right before I could start stabilizing, the dream crashed. It turned into another non-lucid dream. In the second one, I was dicing some squashes in the kitchen and I cut my hand. When it didn't hurt, I became lucid. Then the dream crashed again.

Wooptidoo..I need to learn to find a way around this..

I..can..do..this! Bahahahaha

Sweet, you rock!!!

Now you just need to find something to stabilize that lucidity so you don't get too excited and crash the dream. Try to remember something like rubbing your hands together and looking at them, immediately upon becoming lucid. Good luck.

I'm proud of you!

Hooray, I can still go online from time to time! Turns out they won't let me sleep over at the hospital so I can go on DV at night :3

Anywhoooo, I've been having afternoon naps at the hospital for the past week. Nothing to do there, besides watch my bff, who is always sleeping anyway, so I usually just sleep as well. My naps are usually about 2-3 hours, and I've noticed that I always have really vivid dreams with a very long storyline or something. So I was wondering maybe I could use it to get lucid, seeing as I can't WBTB for a while. The thing is, I've only ever done WBTB+MILD, so I have no idea what to do. I'll be lurking around the forums for a while about this.

Any tips?



Oh, and Oreoboy1996 and OldSparta were in my dream last night. And apparently, I was Merro and someone killed me with a shotgun O_O lol

Spoiler for Le Story Time Which Has No Connection With My Workbook:

[14:47:35] <Superdub49> one time, I was walking to
[14:47:47] <+about25yearzolde> the sex shop when
[14:47:53] <%Dark_Merlin> c-c-c-combo breaker
[14:47:57] <%Dark_Merlin> LOL
[14:47:59] <%Dark_Merlin> !away
[14:48:05] <Superdub49> I bought my friend Dark_Merlin|Away a Dildo
[14:48:24] <+about25yearzolde> which i painted the color
[14:48:37] <Superdub49> clear, because the bitches love clear
[14:48:49] <+about25yearzolde> And so when he saw it, he
[14:49:03] <Superdub49> began to dougie furiously
[14:49:22] <+about25yearzolde> (what.)
[14:49:35] <Superdub49> (a dougie is a dance)
[14:49:40] <+about25yearzolde> which looked really awkward so I
[14:49:45] <+about25yearzolde> (i know lol)
[14:49:57] <Superdub49> began shufflin, in order to counteract the dougie
[14:50:36] <+about25yearzolde> . As we were dancing, I felt
[14:50:56] <Superdub49> like mancon, so
[14:51:25] <+about25yearzolde> I spread my wings like a butterfly and
[14:51:41] <Superdub49> looked over at the clock and realized it was 1 in the morning so I
[14:52:11] <+about25yearzolde> went out to buy some
[14:52:27] <Superdub49> anal beads, and I
[14:52:51] <+about25yearzolde> realized I forgot to bring some money so I paid the man with
[14:53:11] <Superdub49> fellatio and he
[14:53:32] <+about25yearzolde> kicked me in the balls which felt very
[14:53:47] <Superdub49> similar to a poem I read about
[14:54:12] <+about25yearzolde> . I ran as fast as i could while
[14:54:35] <Superdub49> whipping my hair back and forth because
[14:55:07] <+about25yearzolde> I'm fabulous.
