So awesome to have you back Jason. I think starting with a fresh mind sounds like a great idea. I can't count how many times I've done the same thing myself. Anyway, we're like family here for you. So anything you need for progress or even just support, just let us know.

Haha

CanisLucidus, Chimpertainment, and Xanous were promoted to the apprentice team, as you know already. They're doing awesome, you'd be proud.

Then there was the Great Staff Shift of 2012. That was an adventure

Welcome back my man. Dreamviews is not the same without you. I have really missed the podcast you and OpheliaBlue put on as well.

Podcast will be coming back! We just need to figure out when and what we're going to record.

God damn, I really need to fix my dream recall.

I definitely had a lucid dream last night, although it's quite patchy. I remember the dream becoming incredibly vivid, I was standing in the middle of a road surrounded by trees and lush greenery when I just suddenly become lucid. I was expecting the lucid dream to end prematurely at that point as it had been a while since I had one, but despite my expectation I was surprised to find that the dream just continued to get clearer. I vaguely remember spotting people at the end of the road and I started running towards them at inhuman speeds, and upon reaching them, the girl standing there starts staring at me before jumping on top of me.

I feel like something else happened afterwards, but I can't recall. Regardless, pretty happy that I had a spontaneous lucid

Great!! Look at you, right back into the swing of things!

Apart from dream recall, the other thing that will quickly come back to you is the ability to hang on to your lucidity. If I wake up from a lucid dream, my recall tends to be amazing. But it's the occasions when I've lost lucidity that my recall gets sort of garbled. Now that you have the feel back, you'll become less and less likely to have lucidity just slip away from you. (Think of your LD to the moon where you stayed lucid through all of those dramatic scene transitions, etc.)

Congratulations on the lucid!

Yay congrats on the lucid! Sorry you can't (don't want) to remember what happened when that dream trollop jumped on you.

Interesting, albeit short lucid dream last night involving Lisa. Posted it in the snippets thread.

On another note, I've been researching the benefits of mangoes and lucid dreams.
Posted a thread in the Research forum, if anyone's interested: http://www.dreamviews.com/f32/mangoe...cidity-137981/

**CanisLucidus** · 11-14-2012 10:22 PM

All right, congratulations on the lucid, man!

Was this one induced with or without the use of mangoes? If this mango idea turns out to work really well, I'm going to be forced to make myself some kind of big-ass fruit salad before bed.

Haha, yep had a giant mango before bed last night. Totalled about 5 dreams recalled, as apposed to the 1-3 the previous 3 nights without mangoes. Even went to bed late last night! Really seems to be something to the mangoes.

I've been contemplating whether it was mangoes or peaches causing the better dreams for a while because I tend to eat them together. Over the last few weeks I've been eating them separately to test and it definitely seems to be mangoes.

**OpheliaBlue** · 11-14-2012 10:47 PM

I ate a deep-fried jalapeno last night. I wonder if that helped me, because I went to bed late too! I should so try a combination of the jalapeno and mango and see what happens lol. Anyway, congrats on the lucid Jason, sorry I was such a bitch in it

And now that you got through a mirror, you'll be able to go through any and everything: walls doors floors pianos, you name it.
