You should see my typing in irc. Teasing galore.

Still, I'm sorry for poking fun, I won't do it again.

Just went over my last 2 weeks of dreams to get a new list of dream signs, I had more than I realised!

New Dreamsigns:
- Taking Control of Situations
- Kitchen
- Kids
- Sports/Olympics
- Creepy Women
- Broken Doors
- Time Travel
- Shopping
- Anger

CREEPY WOMEN. awesome muhahaha

So, August over... my goals were terribly unsuccessful, considering I only had 1 proper lucid dream, although the month began and ended with loads of partial lucid dreams, but I don't count those.

Goals for August:
- Have 7 lucid dreams in August - Failed
- Have a WILD by August 31st - Failed
- Complete both DreamViews Tasks of the Month - Failed
- Summon a Dream Character - Complete
- Initiate More Scene Transitions - Failed

Goals for September:
- Get motivated about Lucid Dreaming again
- Experience a seamless dream transition again, either through DEILD or WILD
- Regain consistent lucid dreaming by practicing awareness and retaining a better sleep schedule
- Complete 1 or 2 goals from my "Plans for Next Lucid Dreams" list (below)
- Complete a TOTM, if it appeals to me.

Spoiler for Plans for Next Lucid Dreams:

- Sit atop a mountain and watching the universe pass by and then fly up into darkness and into space.
- Meet Vincent Van Gogh and listen him explain the night sky, and watch it warp into "Starry Night".
- Return to the magical forest where I turned into a cat-like creature on August 6th in a non-lucid.
- Go scuba-diving, but without the scuba, just freely breathing underwater.
- Visit this place
- Ask sub-conscious to take me to some random, yet amazing, location
- Call out to the dream to show me something interesting
- Yell to the dream "I want to confront my fears", I'm unsure of what my fears are, so it'll be interesting to see what it conjures.

Those are some great goals, Jason

I only had a few goal successes as well, but hopefully this month we'll be luckier! We can do this awwwwyea!

Aja aja fighting!

Lucid madness last night.

Must have become lucid about 3 times and every time I woke up instantly. After waking up from one of them, I almost succeeded in DEILDing! It's been so long since I've actually got close to a DEILD that I forgot how awesome it felt. I was laying in bed seeing images flash over my eyes and it felt as if my body started floating up out of bed, starting at my hips. I didn't want to lose the attempt so I tried opening my eyes. At first I was partially inside a dream but it was incredibly foggy and I couldn't make out anything. I then snapped back into my waking body and prematurely opened them again, while opening them it felt like my body suddenly crashed back down into the bed and I lost the attempt.

Great job!! September is gonna be lucky for us!

First of all, what do you mean when you say "at first I was partially inside a dream..."? Did it feel like you were in some other place besides lying in your bed? Also, what made you snap back into your waking body, I wonder? Maybe these things happened too fast to notice, but I'm curious about the subtle transitions that occurred here. Can you remember more details?

When I tried to open my eyes I didn't really get the sense of "opening them". It was as if I tried to open them but I didn't have the power to do so, but the act of trying forced a scene to create itself behind my eyelids that I felt I was a part of, kind of like a seeing an intensely foggy three-dimensional scene around me, but knowing i'm not truly "there" yet. I'm not sure what snapped me back into my body, but the foggy scene didn't last very long, maybe 5 seconds.

Also; I had 2 lucid dreams last night! Both DILDs

Another lucid dream last night! Lots of milestones for me

Nice! Congratulations Jason!!

I shall read your dream! (after i finish some schoolwork )

Incase anyone's wondering, I'm going to be away from DreamViews for 1-2 weeks. I'll be around on-and-off occasionally replying to threads or chatting in IRC. My Granddad died on Saturday so I've had a lot to sort out.

Miss you already

My condolences We'll see you soon.

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather. My condolences, buddy.

*tickle tickle*

Just figured I'd better update:

I'll definitely be back in some degree by Tuesday or Wednesday, and in full-swing by the end of next week when I've caught up on work that I've got drastically behind on over my manic few weeks. Hope everyone's doing well, I miss talking to you all!

Heads up: It's almost October! I suggest making a new list of monthly goals you want to achieve, as well as reevaluate your DJ for possible new dream signs or any realizations


But take your time, Jase, I know you're quite busy right now. Hope you're doing alright <3

Okay, so let's get myself back on track.

Over my insane few weeks my lucidity and dream recall has derailed ridiculously, so I'm planning to start from scratch and retune everything back up. I think I needed the short break regardless, and the chaos over the last week just forced that. I can now re-enter the world of lucidity with a clear mind!

I've decided against setting goals for October as I just want to ease myself back into it and enjoy the process, I'll probably set some for November when I've got my dream recall back up and such.

Anything interesting happened on DreamViews while I've been gone? Would be awesome if anyone could update me Haha

Great to have you back brother!

Getting back to basics with your dreaming sounds like just the thing. All the old trails will still be there for you to walk. You'll have it all back (and more) in no time.

What's been going on the past few weeks? We got lucid, we all missed you, a few of us got promoted, and we got many great new students. The excellent October Task of the Month went up and Ophelia, Xanous, and Paige got their October wings in like 5 seconds. Some big victories, lots of small victories, and a few short-lived dry spells sprinkled here and there. All in all, a good few weeks. Would have been better with you around but we held down the fort as best we could.

I also stole some of your dream control ideas, especially anchors. I'm stealing the portal idea next. You weren't here to defend your intellectual property and brigands like me were left to run wild.

Welcome back!
