[20:02:58] Burke|BRB [[email protected]] is now known as Burke
[20:02:59] <@OpheliaBlue> hey RareCola
[20:03:04] <%RareCola> LD goals was our topic earlier
[20:03:10] <@OpheliaBlue> and Caenis and Burke and all yous guys
[20:03:11] <%RareCola> I don't think Paige will be here tonight, early morning for her
[20:03:16] <@OpheliaBlue> ah ok
[20:03:18] <theCambino> hey
[20:03:24] <%Oreoboy1996> 9am isn't early
[20:03:39] RareCola [[email protected]] has changed topic to "Ophelia's internet is ALIVEEE! [Topic: Open Discussion]"
[20:03:48] <@OpheliaBlue> hah
[20:03:58] Exotiraan 's dream-goals still haven't changed.
[20:04:14] <%RareCola> I had 2 lucids this morning, Ophelia. Not sure if you read my post
[20:04:20] <Burke> my only goal is to get my lucid count back up to what it was before I went "on break"
[20:04:25] <%Oreoboy1996> i had 4 i think
[20:04:25] <%Caenis> Oh wow, good job RC.
[20:04:26] <Exotiraan> More fantasy; less "compulsive programmer syndrome."
[20:04:37] <%Oreoboy1996> just need 6 more
[20:04:46] <%RareCola> Thanks Caenis
[20:04:47] <theCambino> my only goal first is to have my first LD.
[20:05:17] <Exotiraan> And to restore my dream recall and lucid abilities back to their pre-panic attack era state or better.
[20:05:24] <@OpheliaBlue> no I haven't yet!! TWO lucids RareCola?!
[20:05:24] <%RareCola> It'll happen in no time theCambino, just keep that motivation up
[20:05:35] <OmkAR> my goal is full 100% female conversion
[20:05:36] <OmkAR> ;P
[20:05:39] <%RareCola> Yea! I DEILD chained
[20:05:44] <theCambino> that I am doing!
[20:05:46] <%RareCola> First DEILD from a non-lucid too
[20:05:59] <@OpheliaBlue> you little tiger
[20:06:07] <theCambino> RareCola: it's a hardship... but I am going at it strongest as ever!
[20:06:37] <@OpheliaBlue> I can't wait to read it
[20:06:39] <%RareCola> Yea, Sageous' advice on not really experiencing HI while DEILDing really helped me
[20:06:46] <%Oreoboy1996> female conversion?
[20:06:56] <%RareCola> Because what I thought was HI was actually a dream scene
[20:07:06] <@OpheliaBlue> what do you mean exactly?
[20:07:12] <theCambino> like faceonmars says... it's like believing in santa clause or the easter bunny when you have a zero count... but oh man am I excited to have my first!
[20:07:18] <@OpheliaBlue> (I find gray areas with that too)
[20:07:29] <theCambino> so dedicated to it... I've made it a lifestyle
[20:07:49] <%RareCola> Well, I see images as my eyes are closed which I put down to HI, but upon opening my eyes I was actually in a dream
[20:08:17] <@OpheliaBlue> and you used that to start your LD basically?
[20:08:28] <@OpheliaBlue> because you were already in it?
[20:08:34] <%RareCola> Pretty much, took no longer than for me to count down from 10
[20:08:59] <OmkAR> when you get your internal voice in the dream to change, even have a different accent, that's really amazing
[20:09:08] <%Caenis> theCambino: Good, it's always good to incorporate LD into your lifestyle.
[20:09:16] <%RareCola> @theCambino: That's good, making a lifestyle out of lucid dreaming is the best way to go. It's not just lucid dreaming, it's lucid living
[20:09:32] <theCambino> most definitely! why not? why go only half assed into practice?!
[20:09:39] <@OpheliaBlue> what do you mean with the countdown RareCola?
[20:09:54] <theCambino> once you pick the red pill...there's no going back to the blue pill
[20:10:17] <%RareCola> Got that tip from OmkAR actually. I woke up from my dream, started the DEILD focusing and started at 10 and counted backwards to 0 and then I was in a dream
[20:10:32] <@OpheliaBlue> brilllliant
[20:11:02] <%RareCola> Felt the sleep paralysis onset too, sort of a sweeping over feeling
[20:11:29] <theCambino> haven't felt SP yet...
[20:11:43] <theCambino> well I take that back... I think I have but I can't confirm
[20:11:53] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah I need to read that dream after class for sure, well done man
[20:11:58] <%Caenis> Care to tell us what it felt like theCambino?
[20:12:20] <%RareCola> I think it's different for everyone, theCambino. Some people don't feel it, some people feel it but it's more like just "numbness", others get complete paralysation
[20:12:59] <theCambino> Caenis: well one not being able to move
[20:13:02] <@OpheliaBlue> doh I just remembered a short lucid from this morning, thanks to you RareCola haha!
[20:13:12] <%RareCola> Woo! Lol
[20:13:20] <OmkAR> you transitioned in 10 seconds?
[20:13:22] <@OpheliaBlue> I mean really really short
[20:13:26] <OmkAR> mine usualy take about 30-44 seconds
[20:13:26] <OmkAR>
[20:13:32] <%RareCola> Yea OmkAR, both times
[20:13:53] <theCambino> Caenis: I've had one dream where I was on the mountain it was dark and a blizzard rolled in...
[20:14:01] <OmkAR> you must have QuickSitionâ„¢ Add-on installed
[20:14:10] <theCambino> woke up in my room... no clue where I was... thought I was burried under snow
[20:14:12] <%RareCola> Lmao
[20:14:14] <@OpheliaBlue> I was in a grocery store, and I saw you there, at least I knew it was you, but I couldn't see your face. I kept trying to get to where I could see it. And I was thinking to my self, as soon as I saw your facial hair I would know for sure it was you.
[20:14:17] TylerRoberts [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[20:14:23] <@OpheliaBlue> like 5 seconds tops
[20:14:24] <theCambino> welcome TylerRoberts!
[20:14:26] <%Oreoboy1996> hello TylerRoberts
[20:14:26] <TylerRoberts> Hey, sorry I'm late!
[20:14:28] <@OpheliaBlue> hey TylerRoberts
[20:14:28] <%RareCola> Well I suppose slightly longer than 10 seconds, wasn't exact seconds, slightly slower
[20:14:33] <%RareCola> probably more like 15-20 seconds real time
[20:14:56] <%RareCola> Me, Ophelia?
[20:14:56] <%RareCola> Haha
[20:14:59] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah
[20:14:59] <OmkAR> my longest DEILD took about 100 seconds, im glad i stuck out and waited, i was almost gonna give up, and then . . .. it WORKED
[20:15:12] <%RareCola> That's awesome
[20:15:32] <@OpheliaBlue> real low level lucid, but I remember I knew I was dreaming, then I just got too goal oriented
[20:15:45] <%Caenis> That's really interesting, theCambino. I think you can confidently say you had SP.
[20:15:50] <theCambino> Caenis: I had one where I was hallucinating something... but at this point I can't remember quite what it was; I believe I wrote it down in my DJ though. I just would have to find it first
[20:15:54] <OmkAR> i found some of the best goals were to go visit somebody. . .
[20:16:09] <OmkAR> id always remember in there .. Oh ya, im suppose to go teleport to such and such now
[20:16:09] <theCambino> it was purple
[20:16:11] <theCambino>
[20:16:28] <theCambino> OmkAR: I've teleported in a nonlucid
[20:16:36] <@OpheliaBlue> I thought about using teleportation in the next TOTM, but maybe that's too much like the mirror one?
[20:16:39] <theCambino> teleported like 10 ft
[20:16:43] <OmkAR> your non-lucid self knows lucid tricks then
[20:16:48] <%RareCola> I'll have to add that to my goal list actually. It would be quite awesome to have a lucid dream where everyone from this class is there
[20:16:51] <%Caenis> You were actually hallucinating, or you were dreaming you were halucinating? =p
[20:16:55] <OmkAR> ya i have lots of non-lucid selves, some of them knows how to walk thru walls, or fly
[20:16:58] <theCambino> OmkAR: I know but I can't wake up in the dream
[20:17:19] <theCambino> my non-lucid self has flown before
[20:17:31] <theCambino> like peter pan style... so I had no control :/
[20:17:43] <OmkAR> one time i was partially lucid, but not in control, somehow i SNAPPED myself awake, literraly shook myself and then i regained control
[20:17:46] <%Oreoboy1996> ophelia, from my experience the mirror thing was a lot like teleportation
[20:17:51] <TylerRoberts> Speaking of people being there... Has anybody here dream shared?
[20:17:56] <%Oreoboy1996> some people actually use mirrors for that i think
[20:18:14] <OmkAR> mirrors are alot of fun to morph in front of
[20:18:20] <theCambino> Caenis: pretty sure I was hallucinating... but I've read alot of stories... so I can't say really what mine is without looking in my DJ
[20:18:26] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah Oreoboy1996 , that's kinda what I was thinking
[20:18:28] <OmkAR> ive changed into gray aliens. other people .. .
[20:18:31] <%RareCola> I don't necessarily believe in it, TylerRoberts
[20:18:42] <@OpheliaBlue> HAHA I read that as gay aliens at first, sorry
[20:18:45] <OmkAR> lool
[20:18:50] <%RareCola> LOL
[20:18:52] <%RareCola> amazing
[20:18:53] <theCambino> OpheliaBlue: XD
[20:18:55] <Mindraker> I've had a dream in which I looked at a mirror and didn't see myself -- and I knew something was suspicious.
[20:18:57] <%Oreoboy1996> i've only transformed into a dragon
[20:19:03] <TylerRoberts> I was just curious. I was skeptical, but I was also skeptival about LDing in general so...
[20:19:59] <TylerRoberts> By the way, I cant do TOTMs but I think one that is about exploring an ocean would be cool. Maybe finding a treasure chest and telling what was inside?
[20:20:00] <@OpheliaBlue> no documented cases of dream sharing here
[20:20:03] <%Oreoboy1996> don't understand how you can be skeptical to lucid dreaming
[20:20:10] <TylerRoberts> Never done it
[20:20:13] <OmkAR> :O
[20:20:13] <theCambino> when I teleported... I almost when beyond my target of ten feet... and beyond that 10 ft... there was the background like the gray and white checkers on photoshop
[20:20:16] <theCambino> @_@
[20:20:24] <%Oreoboy1996> i like that idea for a task of the month
[20:20:32] <%Oreoboy1996> mostly because i'm usually treasure hunting
[20:20:43] <@OpheliaBlue> TylerRoberts: I like the idea of water/ocean TOTMs, just post in the suggestion thread
[20:20:45] <theCambino> like the whole dream was just an image
[20:20:50] <@OpheliaBlue> we're pulling from that thread now
[20:20:56] <OmkAR> sometimes if i dont have a lucid for a long time. . .like 2 weeks . .. which is very long for me. . i start to feel that feeling.... was i really doing it. . . but then i go check my journals and remember. . . YA its REAL
[20:20:57] <TylerRoberts> I would totally do that, if I could.
[20:20:57] <theCambino> and beyond it was just the checkered background
[20:21:04] <TylerRoberts> The exploring thing.
[20:21:09] <TylerRoberts> I will post there after class.
[20:21:17] <%Oreoboy1996> ophelial, i believe you need to be a task club member to post in that thread
[20:21:30] <TylerRoberts> Well, maybe not then
[20:21:39] <%Oreoboy1996> and to become a member of the club you need to complete a task of the month
[20:21:47] <@OpheliaBlue> serious?
[20:21:58] <TylerRoberts> Dangit! Im out of the question then.
[20:22:02] <%Caenis> Huh. I never knew that.
[20:22:03] <@OpheliaBlue> and THAT's what that permissions thing is for
[20:22:10] <%RareCola> That's quite cool
[20:22:25] <%RareCola> Didn't know I was now part of a special club because I completed the TOTM xD
[20:22:27] <TylerRoberts> I havent even LDed yet so TOTM is far out of my reach at the moment.
[20:22:35] <theCambino> same here TylerRoberts
[20:22:35] <TylerRoberts> Lol
[20:22:47] <OmkAR> wuts TOTM?
[20:22:50] <%Oreoboy1996> i guess you didn't notice ophelia since you're an admin
[20:22:54] <theCambino> task of the monht
[20:22:55] <theCambino> month
[20:22:56] <OmkAR> ah ya
[20:22:58] <OmkAR> hehe
[20:22:58] <OmkAR> k
[20:23:03] <%Caenis> How long have you guys been trying?
[20:23:09] <TylerRoberts> 3 days!
[20:23:09] <@OpheliaBlue> if that's the case, I need to go into the permissions section in the admin panel, and click the box for EVERY person who has ever completed a TOTM, because not EVERY person submitted a request
[20:23:18] <TylerRoberts> Well.. actually 1 night...
[20:23:26] <TylerRoberts> The rest of the nights I was focussing on recall
[20:23:29] <@OpheliaBlue> not sure I like it that way... but whatever, I'll deal with that after class
[20:23:51] <@OpheliaBlue> thanks for the heads up on that Oreoboy1996
[20:23:55] <%Oreoboy1996> no problem
[20:24:15] <%Caenis> That's probably for the better, TylerRoberts. Getting lucid means nothing if you don't have good recall.
[20:24:19] <%RareCola> 3 days left to do the mirror TOTM, wonder if I can
[20:24:25] <%RareCola> excited for July's tasks though
[20:24:39] <@OpheliaBlue> me too! (forceez is supposed to post them)
[20:24:41] <TylerRoberts> Mhm, I figured I would rather remember non-lucid dreams than forget a lucid one.
[20:24:45] <%RareCola> What's your recall like at the moment, TylerRoberts?
[20:25:05] <%Oreoboy1996> i can't even remember what i suggested for july
[20:25:14] <TylerRoberts> Well, I have made a pattern for myself...
[20:25:21] <TylerRoberts> After every dream, I wake up
[20:25:22] <Burke> any hints on to what the next tasks will be OpheliaBlue?
[20:25:24] <TylerRoberts> And remember it
[20:25:37] <TylerRoberts> But quickly forget if I dont start typing it out
[20:25:44] <%Oreoboy1996> Burke: [21:24:36] <@OpheliaBlue> me too! (forceez is supposed to post them)
[20:25:45] <@OpheliaBlue> Burke no idea, but it will probably be pulled from this "exclusive thread"
[20:25:51] <%Oreoboy1996> so only forceez will know!
[20:25:55] Oreoboy1996 laughs evily
[20:25:56] <@OpheliaBlue> if he remembers!
[20:25:57] <Burke> the one I have access to?
[20:25:58] <Burke> xD
[20:26:10] <OmkAR> i like chopping off my fingers in the dreamworld
[20:26:12] <theCambino> I just can't remember anything after waking from WBTB
[20:26:13] <OmkAR> for some reason its really fun
[20:26:16] <%RareCola> TylerRoberts: You type your dreams?
[20:26:16] <theCambino> :/
[20:26:18] <OmkAR> and then you watch them grow back really fast
[20:26:18] <OmkAR> lol
[20:26:22] <%Oreoboy1996> OmkAR: that's creepy
[20:26:26] <OmkAR> naaah, try it
[20:26:28] <OmkAR> trust mee
[20:26:28] <@OpheliaBlue> I'll know for sure sunday on my lunch break
[20:26:34] <OmkAR> it feels . .. liberating
[20:26:35] <%Oreoboy1996> i like my fingers
[20:26:36] <theCambino> like a lizard
[20:26:37] <theCambino>
[20:26:40] <%Oreoboy1996> and i don't enjoy pain
[20:26:48] <%RareCola> Lol OmkAR... interesting
[20:26:50] <OmkAR> you dont realize how much you worry about your fingers in waking, and then when u chop them off and watch them grow back in the dreamworld, it freees you
[20:26:52] <OmkAR> or something
[20:26:52] <OmkAR>
[20:26:55] <@OpheliaBlue> ew omkar
[20:27:00] <TylerRoberts> RareCola: Yes, I have a Dream Journal app on my Kindle Fire. I just keep it at my bedside
[20:27:05] <OmkAR> its liberating
[20:27:12] <@OpheliaBlue> but still, a true level 4 lucid
[20:27:21] <%RareCola> My dreams and lucids were full of nothing but pain last night. One of my lucids involved having a hole punched right through my stomach.
[20:27:21] <%Oreoboy1996> i've been worrying about my fingers ever since they got electrocuted >.>
[20:27:22] <OmkAR> i tried to saw my leg off once, but it actually started to hurt, so i had to abort
[20:27:23] <OmkAR> lol
[20:27:24] <@OpheliaBlue> you truly are cool with it, because your real body is safe
[20:27:39] <@OpheliaBlue> dayamn man
[20:27:49] <@OpheliaBlue> I want to do it
[20:27:57] <@OpheliaBlue> son crying brb
[20:27:59] <@OpheliaBlue> !brb
[20:28:00] OpheliaBlue [[email protected]] is now known as OpheliaBlue|BRB
[20:28:01] <%RareCola> TylerRoberts: I would advise against it. Not only does looking at a screen destroy your chances of getting back to sleep but I find that actually writing your dreams kicks in your subconscious more and you can remember more as you write down
[20:28:06] <TylerRoberts> Why not just see how many pieces you can cut yourself into? Seems like a better goal for you haha
[20:28:10] <Mindraker> LOL, maybe that should be the "TOTM" -- electrocute and grow back your fingers in the dream.
[20:28:17] <%Caenis> That's really impressive OmkAR.
[20:28:32] <%Caenis> That would certainly be a challenging task!
[20:28:36] <OmkAR> ya there's lots of kool things to try
[20:28:36] <theCambino> !brb food
[20:28:36] <TylerRoberts> RareCola: Really? Thanks for the tip! I will be sure to write it from now on!
[20:28:37] theCambino [[email protected]] is now known as theCambino|BRB
[20:28:42] <%Oreoboy1996> i'd rather not do a goal that involves inflicting pain among myself
[20:29:01] <OmkAR> usualy when i DEILD OBE i go run outside right away, but one time i stopped, and stayed in my room, i found all these wierd toys on the floor, stuff i never had in my waking life
[20:29:12] <Mindraker> do what ye wilt, and ye harm none
[20:29:12] <OmkAR> it was soo wierd, there was this old 1970's radio , it felt very nostalgic to me
[20:29:14] <%Caenis> It doesn't need to hurt though, that's the point Oreoboy1996.
[20:29:24] <OmkAR> but its not from 'this' life . . .. might be a past life memory or something
[20:29:25] <OmkAR> :p
[20:29:30] <%Oreoboy1996> it's no fun when you don't feel anything
[20:30:05] <%Caenis> You can have it tickle instead. =p
[20:30:14] <TylerRoberts> Who all has had one, or more, OBEs?
[20:30:24] <Burke> I've had one
[20:30:26] <Burke> I think
[20:30:32] <TylerRoberts> You think?
[20:30:32] <OmkAR> i've had lots
[20:30:41] <theCambino|BRB> RareCola: was that your innocent apple you posted earlier?
[20:30:43] <Burke> yes, I think
[20:30:46] <theCambino|BRB> !here
[20:30:47] theCambino|BRB [[email protected]] is now known as theCambino
[20:31:06] <%RareCola> What about it, theCambino?
[20:31:12] <OmkAR> you guys experience the mind-split effect?
[20:31:20] <%RareCola> mind-split effect?
[20:31:21] <OmkAR> ive noticed it while counting through my DEILD/WILD transition
[20:31:22] <TylerRoberts> How could you not know, Burke?
[20:31:30] <Burke> Because I'm not sure if it counts as one
[20:31:36] <%Caenis> Haven't heard of that, OmkAR.
[20:31:37] <TylerRoberts> Oohhh
[20:31:38] <TylerRoberts> Okay
[20:31:39] <theCambino> RareCola: ...where'd you buy it from?
[20:31:45] <OmkAR> another voice will take over the count. . . i'll count . . 19 .. 20 . .. then another voice takes over. . 21 . . 22. 23 .. . in the distance. . and in a british accent, or another voice entirely lol
[20:31:52] <theCambino> local store or a chain?
[20:31:53] <@OpheliaBlue|BRB> !back
[20:31:53] OpheliaBlue|BRB [[email protected]] is now known as OpheliaBlue
[20:31:59] <@OpheliaBlue> sorry, it was stupid
[20:32:05] <%RareCola> It's just available in the major supermarkets here in the UK, theCambino. I'm unsure if it's possible to get in other countries.
[20:32:08] <OmkAR> its soo messed up, at that point, im a freshly spawned dreambody, and im in the dream, i can hear my previous self continue counting in the background, and then it fades off
[20:32:29] <theCambino> RareCola: just curious
[20:32:54] <%RareCola> That's kind of creepy, OmkAR
[20:32:56] <%RareCola> Cool though
[20:33:10] <OmkAR> ive also been stuck in two places at once, one view was from a stuck head facing the door, and i saw a shadow being opening the door, at the same time, I COULD FELL MYSELF opening the door
[20:33:13] <%RareCola> You have some of the most interesting dream experiences I've heard of
[20:33:14] <OmkAR> the shadow being was a second copy of me
[20:33:14] <OmkAR> lol
[20:33:19] <theCambino> taboo like
[20:33:31] <OmkAR> i was in two places at once, and then i finally crossfaded fully to the other dreambody and it was all fine ..
[20:33:32] <Burke> I've felt myself in two places at once before
[20:33:40] <Burke> but the other senses didn't follow suit
[20:33:50] <Mindraker> I didn't know you could be in two places at once in a dream.
[20:33:56] <Burke> not quite
[20:33:57] <OmkAR> ya well its messy
[20:34:02] <Burke> one was my dream body, the other was my real body
[20:34:04] <OmkAR> you'll want to fully crossfade to your dreambody
[20:34:04] <%RareCola> That would make for a cool Task of the Month, splitting your body into two and swapping between them
[20:34:08] <OmkAR> otherwise you'll get overlay glitches
[20:34:08] <OmkAR>
[20:34:34] <Mindraker> That's an interesting idea to try, actually...
[20:34:59] <@OpheliaBlue> I'll start with a finger or a foot hehe
[20:35:22] <@OpheliaBlue> Oreoboy1996: are you getting this? Mr. NeedsSomethingElseCoolToTryInAnLD
[20:35:29] <@OpheliaBlue>
[20:35:33] <%RareCola> Haha
[20:35:42] <Mindraker> I guess someone with Multiple Personality Disorder could do something like that more easily
[20:35:47] <@OpheliaBlue> grab your lucid axes folks
[20:36:03] <%RareCola> Yea that would make sense, Mindraker
[20:36:10] <%RareCola> rogue empty line wut ^
[20:36:26] <@OpheliaBlue> Mindraker: that's a really interesting idea.. I wonder if any of the times we banned an alt, it was an innocent multiple personality haha
[20:36:26] <Mindraker> Someone who could "split" their mind more easily than the average person.
[20:36:37] <TylerRoberts> It would be really fun to empty your emotions into other people and carry a group conversation with your emotions.
[20:36:38] <%Oreoboy1996> sorry i was distracted with something
[20:36:38] <Mindraker> LOLOL OpheliaBlue
[20:36:41] <@OpheliaBlue> no way to know
[20:36:50] <TylerRoberts> Well, talking with "bored" wouldnt be very fun
[20:36:59] <TylerRoberts> But the others would
[20:37:12] <%Oreoboy1996> being in two places at once? clones of course
[20:37:21] <%Caenis> That sounds emotionally tiring to me, TylerRoberts.
[20:37:45] <TylerRoberts> Or emotionally relieving. Depends on how you look at it
[20:37:56] <%RareCola> Some of these things would really push the boundaries of how stable you could keep the dream before waking up though
[20:38:17] <Mindraker> In a way we *do* have different aspects of our personality -- Ego, Id, superego, all that rot that Freud talked about, but are those distinct enough to be different "personalities" in your dreams...?
[20:38:27] <Mindraker> enough to split into different places?
[20:38:28] <TylerRoberts> Im just throwing things out there. I dont actually know these "boundries"
[20:38:53] <%Oreoboy1996> i'm not even sure what we're talking about
[20:38:54] <%RareCola> More personal boundaries, TylerRoberts. There's no fixed boundaries besides your imagination
[20:39:03] <TylerRoberts> Sure, a devil, an angel, and a judge.
[20:39:03] <%Caenis> Exactly.
[20:39:27] <%RareCola> Depends how good you are at stabilisation
[20:39:42] <TylerRoberts> RareCola: Well dang, if imagination governs boundaries, I am set!
[20:40:12] <@OpheliaBlue> ok I lied, I'm doing the TOTMs
[20:40:22] <theCambino> be kinda cool to have a ego trip in an LD
[20:40:25] <%RareCola> forceez slacking again?
[20:40:26] <@OpheliaBlue> I just asked forceez
[20:40:30] <%RareCola>
[20:40:31] <%Oreoboy1996> RareCola: yes
[20:40:35] <@OpheliaBlue> haha no, I remembered wrong
[20:40:43] <%Oreoboy1996> i remember differently >.>
[20:40:55] <@OpheliaBlue> it was suggested that we swap each month, but never agreed on
[20:41:41] <@OpheliaBlue> I'll pull mostly from the suggestion thread, but I'm open to suggestions in here too, since DVA is adedicated bunch
[20:42:39] <%RareCola> That took me far too long to decipher. I was reading "adedicated" as "ade-dicated" ... didn't realise you missed a space xD
[20:42:40] <TylerRoberts> Do the same rules of the "secret club" apply?
[20:42:51] <@OpheliaBlue> what rules
[20:42:55] <theCambino>
[20:43:04] <TylerRoberts> Needing to complete a previous TOTM
[20:43:32] <@OpheliaBlue> nah... I'm overlooking that IF you manage to join a DVA class and join DVA chat
[20:43:39] <Burke> i like "-Get a haircut but don't tell the stylist how you want it. describe how it looks"
[20:43:52] <TylerRoberts> Sooo.... I pass?
[20:43:56] <@OpheliaBlue> haha the surprise me haircut
[20:44:11] <%Oreoboy1996> well actually once you complete a task of the month you're only in the club until the end of the month
[20:44:20] <%Oreoboy1996> then you're kicked out until you complete the next one
[20:44:21] <@OpheliaBlue> TylerRoberts: I mean you "pass" in that if yo want to suggest the ocean thing or whatever IN HERE
[20:44:31] <TylerRoberts> Wooooooo!!!!!
[20:44:37] <%RareCola> I'm a fan of that speaking to plants one that she suggested. I'm digging the whole nature thing
[20:44:40] <TylerRoberts> <--- I passed
[20:44:47] <@OpheliaBlue> Oreoboy1996: seriously? I need to fix that permissions thing then
[20:45:22] <Burke> i also like preventing the zombie apocalyps
[20:45:25] <@OpheliaBlue> or re-emphasize it
[20:45:32] <Burke> it should be mandatory for all LDers
[20:45:49] <@OpheliaBlue> that's a mess to go into every month and select, unselect, reselect aksdhaksdhks
[20:45:55] <%RareCola> I have far too many zombie apocalypses in my non-lucids, don't want to drag the bitches into my lucids too
[20:46:02] theCambino is confused
[20:46:03] <%Caenis> I can't think of any good TOTM ideas. =/
[20:46:06] <@OpheliaBlue> lmao RareCola
[20:46:07] <%Oreoboy1996> too many zombies in my dream world
[20:46:13] <theCambino> RareCola: agreed
[20:46:24] <@OpheliaBlue> I only had a couple zombie nonlucids
[20:46:24] <Mindraker> bitches + zombies + apocalypse ... no.
[20:46:30] <%RareCola> lol
[20:46:46] <Mindraker> I have enough bitch/zombie/apocalypse in real life, not to need that in my dreams.
[20:46:51] <TylerRoberts> Man.. I feel so behind everybody! haha. I have never dreamt of zombies
[20:46:52] <@OpheliaBlue> !brb quick potty break for those who need one
[20:46:54] OpheliaBlue [[email protected]] is now known as OpheliaBlue|BRB
[20:47:26] <%Oreoboy1996> TylerRoberts: don't worry about it
[20:47:31] <%RareCola> Everyone has to start somewhere, TylerRoberts I'm sure you'll be having great dreams in no time
[20:47:32] <%Oreoboy1996> they're annoying as hell >.>
[20:48:22] <Mindraker> Oreoboy1996: are you playing some kind of video game that has zombies?
[20:48:28] <TylerRoberts> Haha, Im sure they are! But yes RareCola. I suppose you are right. Hopefully no time means tonight.
[20:48:39] <%Caenis> I don't dream of zombies either TylerRoberts. I dream about some unusual stuff, but most of the time it's everyday stuff.
[20:48:39] <%Oreoboy1996> Left 4 Dead
[20:48:48] <TylerRoberts> I made a deal with paigeyemps that I WILL LD tonight.
[20:48:50] <%Oreoboy1996> although even when i go a while without playing it i still get zombies
[20:48:56] <Mindraker> Ah... perhaps that is the source of the zombies in your dream... oh
[20:48:58] <%RareCola> Good luck, TylerRoberts !
[20:49:05] <theCambino> dead island 8ahem
[20:49:07] <%Oreoboy1996> i know it's the source
[20:49:12] <theCambino> *ahem ***
[20:49:46] <%RareCola> Heh, I have zombie dreams and I have nothing feeding it now
[20:50:00] <%Oreoboy1996> TylerRoberts: if you fail she gets your soul right?
[20:50:00] <Burke> !brb pee pee
[20:50:01] Burke [[email protected]] is now known as Burke|BRB
[20:50:05] <TylerRoberts> Me too Caenis!!! My wierdest dream ever was last nights, when I was driving down a freeway with about a 1/2 mile long car wreck in which cars were literally ripped apart.
[20:50:28] <TylerRoberts> Oreoboy1996: That wasnt part of the deal! I like my soul.
[20:50:40] <%Oreoboy1996> of course it's part of the deal
[20:50:50] <%Oreoboy1996> i'm sure paigey would love to steal your soul
[20:50:51] <@OpheliaBlue|BRB> !back
[20:50:52] OpheliaBlue|BRB [[email protected]] is now known as OpheliaBlue
[20:51:08] <%Caenis> Huh. Guess something was hungry TylerRoberts. So long as your dreams are interesting, that's what's important!
[20:51:16] <%Caenis> Odd dreams are easier to remember than normal ones too.
[20:51:21] <%RareCola> I think the weirder dreams are a sign that you're getting closer. I tend to have really whacky dreams around lucids.
[20:51:26] <OmkAR> oh man, u reminded me of this train crash dream i had
[20:51:37] <OmkAR> the physics in the dream were amazing, you could feel the whole dream ground shake, really heavy
[20:52:09] <%Caenis> I've always had odd dreams, lucidity has never played a part in that for me.
[20:52:09] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah me too RareCola, they get more whacky, and longer and more vivid.. with a huge storyline
[20:52:11] <theCambino> OmkAR: lucid?
[20:52:13] <TylerRoberts> My dreams seem to be getting weirder, but I only have 3 dreams to base that off of.
[20:52:30] <@OpheliaBlue> hey you have to start somewhere TylerRoberts
[20:52:39] <%Oreoboy1996> my dreams seem to be normal
[20:52:52] <theCambino> Oreoboy1996: sadly, same with me
[20:52:59] <%Oreoboy1996> sadly?
[20:52:59] <theCambino> errr mine
[20:53:12] <theCambino> it's best if they're weird
[20:53:17] <Mindraker> OK folks, I'm off to bed. Sleep tight. Hugzzzzz
[20:53:17] <%Caenis> Agreed.
[20:53:23] <%Caenis> Night Mindraker.
[20:53:26] <@OpheliaBlue> buona sera Mindraker
[20:53:27] <theCambino> irl... it's okay to be normal
[20:53:32] <Mindraker> nighty night Caenis
[20:53:32] <theCambino> why be normal in a dream
[20:53:35] <Mindraker> sleep tight OpheliaBlue
[20:53:37] <theCambino> bring on the weird!
[20:53:42] Mindraker [[email protected]] has left #DVA: ""
[20:53:59] <%Oreoboy1996> well by my dreams are normal i mean they're no different than what they usually are
[20:54:12] <%RareCola> In a non-lucid last night all I remember was somehow I had a hole punched right through my stomach and I was stumbling around my house which had now turned into a hospital pressing all the red "call for help" buttons next to the empty beds. I then stumbled in on a random patient having solo sexytime and awkwardly walked out
[20:54:12] <%Caenis> It's more fun to share a weird dream than a boring dream after all.
[20:54:15] <%Oreoboy1996> things still trying to kill me, me turning into a dragon and killing them, finding treasure, etc
[20:54:21] <@OpheliaBlue> lol
[20:54:36] <@OpheliaBlue> RareCola: LOLOL
[20:54:37] <theCambino> lawls
[20:54:47] <%Caenis> Haha, that really does sound unusual.
[20:54:49] <@OpheliaBlue> solo sexytime
[20:55:07] <%Oreoboy1996> seems normal RareCola
[20:55:27] <Burke|BRB> !back
[20:55:28] Burke|BRB [[email protected]] is now known as Burke
[20:55:34] <%RareCola> I've come to notice I don't have much of a voice in my non-lucids either, I always seem have a wheezy, quiet voice whenever I try to yell
[20:55:36] <@OpheliaBlue> I think probably all my dreams are of equal weirdnes, but it's possibly my recall that improves just prior to a lucid streak
[20:55:50] <theCambino> RareCola: same... I rarely talk
[20:55:51] <@OpheliaBlue> wb burke
[20:56:11] <Burke> I hear fireworks
[20:56:25] <@OpheliaBlue> really? it's still a week until July 4th
[20:56:30] <%RareCola> Heh my recall is usually not amazing just before I lucid. It's getting better now but in past cases, on the nights that I've become lucid I've had no recall previously.
[20:56:39] <%RareCola> Though last night I still recalled 2 dreams before my 2 lucids
[20:56:41] <Burke> we start early
[20:56:57] <theCambino> yeah people around here have been shooting off fireworks too
[20:57:19] <Burke> New york is more patriotic than texas
[20:57:31] <@OpheliaBlue> I see that!
[20:57:53] <TylerRoberts> When remembering multiple dreams per night, do you wake up between dreams? Or remember them all in the morning?
[20:57:54] <Burke> out town's fireworks were on the 22nd
[20:57:58] <@OpheliaBlue> ok any last quick questions for this old lady before she logs this chat?
[20:58:07] <@OpheliaBlue> TylerRoberts: the first one
[20:58:20] <@OpheliaBlue> for me anyway
[20:58:34] <%RareCola> A mixture of the two personally, TylerRoberts. I usually wake up between each dream but in some cases I'll recall multiple in one wake-up session, or after I wake up in the morning
[20:58:43] <%Caenis> People wake up between dreams, but most don't remember waking up. Usually I remember waking up and nodding back off.
[20:58:44] <TylerRoberts> Cool, I was curious if I was the only one who did that.
[20:58:47] <@OpheliaBlue> so I learned to remember certain keywords so that when I wake up for good, I don't forget the earliest dreams from that night
[20:59:12] <theCambino> well I'm out... gotta get stuff done
[20:59:22] <theCambino> good talking to you all
[20:59:24] <%RareCola> alright thanks for coming theCambino
[20:59:25] <%Caenis> See you later, theCambino.
[20:59:26] <TylerRoberts> Gbye!
[20:59:29] <%RareCola> later
[20:59:35] <@OpheliaBlue> but yeah like RareCola, it's really a combination. Sometimes I have clusters of dreams in between waking up
[20:59:36] <theCambino> definitely RareCola
[20:59:42] <theCambino> adios
[20:59:48] <@OpheliaBlue> see ya!
[20:59:49] theCambino [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Quit: Page closed
[21:00:25] <%RareCola> And end of class by the looks of it
[21:00:27] <TylerRoberts> I need to try the keywords thing still. That will be tonights goal.
[21:00:36] <@OpheliaBlue> OH and
[21:00:50] <TylerRoberts> Well, being lucid is the main goal.
[21:01:01] <@OpheliaBlue> thank you sooo much Caenis and RareCola and Oreoboy1996 for taking that initiative when my internet was down
[21:01:14] <@OpheliaBlue> no idea what a relief it is know I can count on you guys

Spoiler for #DVA:

[12:00:29] <@OpheliaBlue> small class again, ah well...
[12:00:41] Marciano999 [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[12:01:14] <@OpheliaBlue> hey Marciano999
[12:01:27] <Marciano999> Hey Ophelia!
[12:01:30] <%RareCola> Small classes can be nice
[12:01:30] <@OpheliaBlue> you two awake Exotiraan and OmkAR ?
[12:01:39] Exotiraan returns from Freenode nd nods.
[12:01:44] <@OpheliaBlue> yes, the smaller ones are less chaotic for sure
[12:02:04] <@OpheliaBlue> Exotiraan is totally cute by the way, I saw him in TC
[12:02:30] <%RareCola> I almost had another lucid today, would have made that three days in a row but I accidentally moved and messed up the DEILD
[12:02:44] <@OpheliaBlue> oh I'm sorry that sucks
[12:03:00] Exotiraan didn't get out with any dreams today. Boooo.
[12:03:09] CaptainCrounche [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[12:03:12] <@OpheliaBlue> I love that LD you had where you saw yourself RareCola
[12:03:17] <@OpheliaBlue> howdy CaptainCrounche!
[12:03:26] <CaptainCrounche> Hello there!
[12:03:27] <@OpheliaBlue> our newest and bluest student
[12:03:32] <%RareCola> yea I just saw you replied to my workbook
[12:03:36] <Marciano999> I Had 2 last night .... One dild one Deild
[12:03:44] <%RareCola> Grats!
[12:03:48] <CaptainCrounche> nice to meet you all
[12:04:00] <%Oreoboy1996> hello
[12:04:11] <@OpheliaBlue> oh well done.. I had a brief DILD, then some really vivid nonlucids. The most realistic looking rain, that i thought at first was snow. I need to DJ that
[12:04:21] <%RareCola> And yes welcome to the class, CaptainCrounche
[12:04:23] <%RareCola> Hope you learn something~
[12:04:25] <@OpheliaBlue> I love weird weather in dreams
[12:04:41] <%RareCola> Yea I first experienced rain in my lucid dream the other night, I was blown away
[12:04:51] <@OpheliaBlue> hehe literally?
[12:04:55] <@OpheliaBlue> a monsoon
[12:04:59] <%RareCola> LOL not quite
[12:05:06] <%RareCola> It wasn't actually raining, just after it finished raining
[12:05:21] <@OpheliaBlue> so how goes your dreaming CaptainCrounche?
[12:05:58] <@OpheliaBlue> also, has anyone else ever met themselves in a dream?
[12:06:14] <@OpheliaBlue> I have once when I was a kid, but it was non lucid
[12:06:17] <%RareCola> Would make for a good TOTM
[12:06:28] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah it would
[12:06:29] <%Oreoboy1996> ophelia i have a couple times
[12:06:35] <@OpheliaBlue> I figured you might have
[12:07:04] <%Oreoboy1996> it's really weird because i have one dream where i'm me
[12:07:05] <CaptainCrounche> i've been writing my dreams down for about a week and i'm surprised of the amount of details i can remember just by focusing on recall right after i wake up
[12:07:21] <%Oreoboy1996> but then i have another dream where it's the same scenario, but from the perspective of one of my dream guides
[12:07:23] Marciano999 [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Ping timeout: 90 seconds
[12:07:26] <%Oreoboy1996> and i end up seeing myself
[12:07:34] <%RareCola> Personally I think recall has more to do with how you focus on it before you go to sleep
[12:07:45] <@OpheliaBlue> that's good CaptainCrounche, that's the best time to remember them. We forget so many details as the day goes by, even if you remember the dream at all.
[12:08:19] <CaptainCrounche> writing down keywords in the middle of the night helps a lot!!
[12:08:28] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah, preparing your mind beforehand is extremely helpful
[12:08:42] <@OpheliaBlue> oh good for you with the keywords
[12:09:06] <CaptainCrounche> thanks
[12:09:12] <%RareCola> Ophelia/Oreo: Did you ever have a moment where it felt like lucid dreaming just sort of clicked? I've been feeling like that these last few days, just a sense that I can more easily control my lucidity now
[12:09:32] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah that's how it pretty much always was for me anyway
[12:09:40] Marciano999 [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[12:09:44] <CaptainCrounche> what's it like meeting yourself Oreoboy1996 ? Is it just an impression or can you actually see the details of your appearance?
[12:09:44] <@OpheliaBlue> I've only become lucid from an RC a handful of times
[12:09:48] <%Oreoboy1996> i've been that way for a while
[12:09:53] <@OpheliaBlue> wb Marciano999
[12:10:07] <Marciano999> Ty.... my connection sometime sucks
[12:10:10] <@OpheliaBlue> but yeah, you just know the feeling now, and just know you're dreaming RareCola?
[12:10:44] <%Oreoboy1996> CaptainCrounche: both i guess
[12:10:48] <%RareCola> Somewhat, more just a sort of confidence that I can become lucid and not just hoping now
[12:11:05] <%RareCola> As I said, like everything "clicked"
[12:11:07] <%RareCola> hard to describe
[12:11:14] <Marciano999> Hey oreoboy!
[12:11:28] <%Oreoboy1996> hello Marciano
[12:12:25] <@OpheliaBlue> so CaptainCrounche, have you had a lucid before? or very nearly?
[12:12:28] <%RareCola> CaptainCrounche: When I met myself it was quite detailed, though a more sort of "perfect" version of myself, if that makes sense? Like it was weird how my dream clone had just woken up and had perfectly brushed hair, etc
[12:13:01] <@OpheliaBlue> ^^ maybe that's how you view yourself :
[12:13:02] <@OpheliaBlue>
[12:13:32] <%RareCola> Calling me a bighead? Hahaha
[12:13:40] <CaptainCrounche> not that i can remember... but two days ago i sort of dreamed i was having a lucid dream, it's weird
[12:13:44] <Marciano999> I tried last night your method of teletransportation Oreoboy
[12:13:57] <%Oreoboy1996> the portal didn't kill you did it?
[12:14:00] <CaptainCrounche> so basically i wasn't lucid but i dreamed about lucid dreaming, i guess because i had read about it all day
[12:14:10] <@OpheliaBlue> RareCola: no, but you are the one with the foxy hair
[12:14:26] <Marciano999> I made the portal... and i entered... then the dream started to fade away
[12:14:43] <%RareCola> That's quite common CaptainCrounche, I take it as a sign that you're close to lucidity
[12:14:47] <@OpheliaBlue> CaptainCrounche: those kinds of dreams usually precede lucid dreams, so you're definitely on the right track
[12:14:47] <CaptainCrounche> RareCola that makes a lot of sense
[12:15:07] <CaptainCrounche> wow, nice!!
[12:15:23] <%Oreoboy1996> Marciano, the unfortunate thing about teleporting or changing the dream scene is it can destabilize the dream very easily if you're not careful
[12:15:39] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah I know what you mean Oreoboy1996
[12:15:52] <Marciano999> I tried to stabilize but it was hard inside the portal
[12:15:53] <%RareCola> I came to realise that in my attempts the other night.....
[12:15:59] <@OpheliaBlue> I have that trouble if I close my eyes.. funny that I never lost stability when I went through a mirror
[12:16:06] <CaptainCrounche> do you guys think ADA could help me, as a total beginner? it's something that's easy for me because i've been noticing details pretty much my whole life
[12:16:14] <@OpheliaBlue> I geuss I just knew I could pop my head back out, so it wasn't as committed
[12:16:20] <%Oreoboy1996> CaptainCrounche: yes
[12:16:29] <@OpheliaBlue> yes
[12:16:29] <%RareCola> Awareness is everything
[12:16:48] <Marciano999> I stabalize dream well... but inside the portal was really hard...
[12:16:52] <%RareCola> If you do nothing else, not even reality checks, awareness is the one thing that would get you lucid.
[12:17:05] <@OpheliaBlue> absolutely
[12:17:50] <CaptainCrounche> did you guys try to do RCs at the very beginning of your practice?
[12:18:00] <@OpheliaBlue> I did
[12:18:08] <CaptainCrounche> even before finding out patterns and cues in your journals?
[12:18:17] <@OpheliaBlue> I found that practicing RCs at all was just another thing that helped me remember to be aware
[12:18:23] <%RareCola> Yep
[12:18:27] <@OpheliaBlue> so it was probably more the awareness that helped than the actual RCsa
[12:18:29] <@OpheliaBlue> -a
[12:18:33] <%RareCola> You need to make sure that you properly reality check though, don't just look at your hands
[12:18:37] <%RareCola> truly question your reality
[12:18:39] <%RareCola> be aware.
[12:18:41] <%Oreoboy1996> yeah i did
[12:18:43] <@OpheliaBlue> different for everyone I think, but awareness overall is important
[12:19:18] <@OpheliaBlue> but yeah, blind RCs are useless
[12:19:30] <@OpheliaBlue> absentminded RCs, I meant to say
[12:19:39] <@OpheliaBlue> blind wtf
[12:19:45] OpheliaBlue has had alot of caffeine this morning
[12:19:53] <%RareCola> And I don't think it's good just to RC because you think you should
[12:19:56] <CaptainCrounche> yeah a lot of tutorials insist on that, so i try to do my RCs thouroughly
[12:20:07] <%RareCola> I tend to have much more success only RCing when something strange happens, or dream-like
[12:20:32] <Marciano999> since i stopped doing RCs during the day, im h aving more LDs... i just do RC to confirm during the dream
[12:20:33] <CaptainCrounche> dream-like things happen in you real life though?
[12:21:12] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah I do that too Marciano999... I RC in dreams after I already know I'm lucid.. seems backwards but I do it because it's kinda cool lol
[12:21:13] <%RareCola> Well it could be anything. Driving in a car with the window down and the wind rushing towards as the scenery zooms by you can feel quite dream-like
[12:21:27] <%RareCola> This is where awareness comes in, you need to be aware of everything
[12:21:39] <CaptainCrounche> oh i see what you mean
[12:21:40] <@OpheliaBlue> or when you see really bizzare weather
[12:22:01] <%RareCola> Weather definitely, and the sky. I notice a lot in dreams the sky is pretty "intense"
[12:22:09] <Marciano999> yes lol its fun...
[12:22:12] <%RareCola> insane colours, almost painted cloud formations, etc
[12:22:42] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah, and dream water for me is always weird in color, texture, movement
[12:22:49] <@OpheliaBlue> so I RC around water alot
[12:23:03] <%RareCola> Water is a pretty universally associated with dreams in our brains though
[12:23:05] <%RareCola> so that makes sense
[12:23:08] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah
[12:23:11] <CaptainCrounche> you guys all seem pretty experienced, am i the only noob in here?
[12:23:14] <Marciano999> Thats true
[12:23:22] <Marciano999> water its a lot in my dreams
[12:23:26] <@OpheliaBlue> you know, carpet is always kinda funky in my dreams too.. kinda swirly and organic
[12:23:31] <@OpheliaBlue> haha no idea why
[12:23:46] <@OpheliaBlue> too much LSD in college
[12:23:50] <CaptainCrounche>
[12:23:58] <Marciano999> lol
[12:24:10] <%RareCola> Come to a few more of these classes and you won't be a noob for long Ophelia's a great teacher
[12:24:26] <@OpheliaBlue> and I have some excellent assistants
[12:24:36] <CaptainCrounche> it appears so!
[12:25:10] <@OpheliaBlue> I jus twish paigeyemps was in a different timezone, siiiigh
[12:25:45] <%RareCola> She's been doing so well with her lucids lately
[12:25:55] <%RareCola> did you see her post in Sageous' WILD class?
[12:26:05] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah she really has.. and no I haven't?
[12:26:13] <%RareCola> http://www.dreamviews.com/f156/what-...ml#post1904674
[12:26:18] <CaptainCrounche> before i started recording my dreams and paying attention to them, i noticed that in most dreams i could remember, i was back in high school (i am not a student anymore), and something stressful happened, usually a test i hadnt studied for... is that something i should consider a dream cue?
[12:26:52] <@OpheliaBlue> lmao "seizure"
[12:27:10] <%RareCola> I'd be open for anything to be a dream cue, CaptainCrounche
[12:27:35] <%RareCola> You can even get such basic stuff like just specific colours occurring a lot
[12:27:52] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah I have repeating dreams about being an opera singer again, but I'm in a performance and don't know my part or the staging
[12:28:09] <@OpheliaBlue> same with college and missing class and failing tests, like you mentioned
[12:28:27] <CaptainCrounche> so that's pretty common in everyone's dreams isnt it?
[12:28:29] <@OpheliaBlue> I call those my stress dreams, but that would be an excellent time to ask yourself if you're dreaming!
[12:28:51] Exotiraan [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Ping timeout: 90 seconds
[12:29:08] <CaptainCrounche> it could be a personal goal to try to turn lucid in one of those
[12:29:10] <%RareCola> I think it's good whenever you're caught up in a situation by being stressed, busy or in the midst of an argument to question your reality
[12:29:31] <%RareCola> As dreams are our way to process the day, it's quite common to process those moments in our dreams
[12:29:39] <%RareCola> so a good time to question reality
[12:30:10] <@OpheliaBlue> good advice
[12:30:31] <CaptainCrounche> so you mean it's a good practice to chck reality during stressful moments IRL ?
[12:30:36] <%RareCola> Yep
[12:30:45] <%RareCola> Or whenever you're caught up in the moment in general
[12:30:46] <@OpheliaBlue> I know that I tend to forego awareness when I'm stressed, and go into autopilot
[12:30:48] <@OpheliaBlue> bad for LDs
[12:31:10] <%RareCola> Yea it's really hard to remember awareness and reality checking when you're in those moments
[12:31:18] <%RareCola> but doing so really increases your lucid chances
[12:31:29] <CaptainCrounche> i'll try to keep that in mind
[12:31:39] <@OpheliaBlue> wow that was a cool dream paige had
[12:31:41] <%Oreoboy1996> i use lucid dreaming to relieve stress so it creates a balance
[12:31:44] <@OpheliaBlue> too bad her alarm went off
[12:31:45] <CaptainCrounche> although i don't have a lot of stressful moments in my life right now...
[12:31:54] <%RareCola> Yea, alarms always kill the fun :l
[12:32:14] <@OpheliaBlue> or just anytime you're "caught up in the moment", as RareCola said
[12:32:56] <CaptainCrounche> all right
[12:33:21] <%RareCola> Yea, mind is all about association. If you can build up an association with being hyper-aware when you're in those moments you'll be opening all the right doors
[12:34:12] <CaptainCrounche> and i read somewhere it's okay if association takes several weeks, what's important is to be consistent, right?
[12:34:38] <%RareCola> Definitely
[12:34:49] <%RareCola> Lucid dreaming is a whole new lifestyle, lucid living I like to call it
[12:34:57] <%RareCola> It takes a while to change a lifestyle
[12:35:04] <CaptainCrounche> for how long have you been at it?
[12:35:13] <%RareCola> 2 months and 1 day~
[12:35:29] <%RareCola> I'm still quite the newbie too
[12:35:59] <@OpheliaBlue> lucid living... nice
[12:36:02] <@OpheliaBlue> sounds like a magazine
[12:36:09] <@OpheliaBlue> we should so publish one
[12:36:13] <Marciano999> Lol
[12:36:27] <Marciano999> You can write a magazine with that name OpheliaBlue
[12:36:40] <Marciano999> A weekly magazine...
[12:36:40] <CaptainCrounche> it's true though!! how come lucid dreaming isn't more popular in the media?
[12:36:43] <%Oreoboy1996> i've been at this for a little over 2 years
[12:36:54] <Marciano999> Its a good idea
[12:37:11] <CaptainCrounche> oh wow, you think about it daily after two years?
[12:37:14] <@OpheliaBlue> I've seen documentaries in National Geographic I think?
[12:37:24] <@OpheliaBlue> plus movies are being made about it
[12:37:55] <@OpheliaBlue> it's just considered supernatural to those who never accomplished LDing, so we may still be in the minority
[12:38:02] <%Oreoboy1996> yeah i think about lucid dreaming every day
[12:38:23] <Marciano999> Once you get in, hard to get out
[12:38:36] <Marciano999>
[12:38:55] <%RareCola> Dreaming is a forgotten art, sadly
[12:38:59] <%RareCola> Let alone lucid dreaming
[12:39:51] <@OpheliaBlue> I know it
[12:40:13] <@OpheliaBlue> people are too busy with the hustle and bustle of their day to care I geuss
[12:40:25] <%RareCola> Which is sad, when you think about it
[12:40:26] <@OpheliaBlue> night=sleep and little more
[12:40:43] <Marciano999> And people just think "they are just a dreams"
[12:40:50] <@OpheliaBlue> "brain garbage"
[12:40:55] <CaptainCrounche> really sad, especially during depressing times as the ones we're currently living
[12:41:13] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah, LDs are my holodeck, my escape from daily anguish
[12:41:25] <Marciano999> Our freeworld!!
[12:41:28] <@OpheliaBlue> not that I'm in anguish daily, but whenever I am in anguish
[12:41:35] <CaptainCrounche> that is really cool!! so you usually dream about cheerful stuff?
[12:41:37] <%RareCola> Though, I think some people are so sceptical that many don't even believe in lucid dreaming when you try to explain it
[12:42:03] <Marciano999> I talk about LDs to all my friends... they dont seem to care...
[12:42:17] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah there's alot of skepticism around LDing
[12:42:26] <@OpheliaBlue> my dad's a doctor and doesn't believe in it
[12:42:34] <@OpheliaBlue> (but that may be because he's jelly)
[12:42:42] <%RareCola> People think it's new-age hippie mumbo jumbo, I guess
[12:42:47] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah they do
[12:43:10] <@OpheliaBlue> though every once in a while I'll talk to a friend about it, and they'll be like "OMG there's a word for that? I do thatall the time. Thought I was just weird."
[12:43:23] <Marciano999> Lol
[12:43:28] <%RareCola> Haha I've noticed people do that and don't actually have lucid dreams though
[12:43:38] <@OpheliaBlue> that's why I love the internet, and this forum, and you can find it easy on google
[12:43:52] <%RareCola> I told my friend about them and they were like "Oh I have lucid dreams all the time!!" -- they weren't actually lucid dreams when she explained to me.
[12:43:53] <@OpheliaBlue> so people who think they're weird can google "dream control" or something and find us
[12:44:00] <CaptainCrounche> definitely, i'm so happy i joined this community for this reason!!
[12:44:13] <@OpheliaBlue> lol RareCola what were they?
[12:44:30] <%RareCola> Well she was explaining stuff like still feeling sensations after waking up, or just really vivid dreams
[12:44:57] <@OpheliaBlue> oh
[12:45:16] <&IrnBruWave`|Away> Hello
[12:45:23] <@OpheliaBlue> hey!

[12:47:30] <CaptainCrounche> bye rarecola and thank you!
[12:47:35] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah you learn so much from each lucid you have

[12:06:32] <Lunatide> What is the topic for todays class?
[12:06:32] <%paigeyemps> thanks :3
[12:06:38] <%paigeyemps> yay so many people tonight
[12:06:40] <theCambino> hola DVa
[12:06:46] <Lunatide> theCambino:
[12:06:47] OpheliaBlue [[email protected]] has changed topic to "Open Discussion Until I Think of a Good Topic"
[12:06:48] <lucidius^> BIGG class today
[12:06:51] <Burke> lol
[12:06:52] <Burke> lazy
[12:07:02] <%paigeyemps> inb4 pc acts retarded and crashes :'|
[12:07:02] <Lunatide> In that case
[12:07:06] <Evolventity> Not being scared of SP?
[12:07:10] <lucidius^> i didnt record my dream
[12:07:10] <theCambino> ...sadly I am only here for 40 say minutes
[12:07:16] <Lunatide> Maybe the topic can be focusing on remember TOTM's in dreams?
[12:07:19] <lucidius^> now i forgot it
[12:07:21] <Burke> Evolventity: intentionally enter sp
[12:07:22] <%Caenis> Well, I had a few ideas for topics: 1. Control in non-LDs; 2. How your family/friends think of LDing.
[12:07:23] <Lunatide> I never remember
[12:07:26] <Lunatide> paigeyemps: has trouble toop
[12:07:28] <Lunatide> toop
[12:07:32] <theCambino> @_@
[12:07:35] <%Oreoboy1996> i don't focus on remembering tasks
[12:07:35] <Evolventity> Burke: ???
[12:07:37] <%paigeyemps> toop
[12:07:41] <%Oreoboy1996> i incubate them so i don't have to use my memory
[12:07:42] <Lunatide> toopslo
[12:07:49] <Burke> if you intentionally induce SP then you should be less afraid of it
[12:07:50] <lucidius^> what is toop?
[12:07:53] <theCambino> Caenis: I can control in non-lucids fwiw
[12:07:59] <Burke> because you can control it more
[12:08:01] <Lunatide> SP isn't even scary
[12:08:06] <Lunatide> Don't know what the fuss is about
[12:08:08] <%paigeyemps> it was a typo, brocidius
[12:08:16] <theCambino> Lunatide: depends
[12:08:17] <@OpheliaBlue> I end up with accidental control in non lucids, but that's it, I'm not lucid so I don't do much with it
[12:08:18] <lucidius^> oh
[12:08:22] <theCambino> I've read horror stories
[12:08:31] <@OpheliaBlue> it's usually to solve a problem in the dream, but I'm nto aware I'm dreaming
[12:08:40] <Evolventity> How to genuinely question reality?
[12:08:44] <%Caenis> Some people can theCambino! Or some people have experienced a little bit of it. I only experience it rarely.
[12:08:45] <Burke> ADA
[12:08:48] <theCambino> let's put it this way... my dream-self has control of the dream
[12:08:55] <theCambino> not me
[12:08:58] <%Oreoboy1996> i can use time control in non lucids
[12:08:59] <Evolventity> You know Burke
[12:09:02] <%Oreoboy1996> which usually makes me lucid
[12:09:07] <Evolventity> Every topic is covrend in the forums
[12:09:10] <%paigeyemps> there ARE times when I'm intentionally controlling the dream, and i know i'm controlling it, but for some reason, I don't realize it's a dream
[12:09:12] <Lunatide> I have a decent amount of non-lucid control
[12:09:18] <Burke> I was answering your question
[12:09:20] <Evolventity> It seems everyone who is here already knows everythign
[12:09:29] <@OpheliaBlue> paigeyemps: yeah, I remember that in Reece videos
[12:09:35] <@OpheliaBlue> layer 1 or something
[12:09:37] <theCambino> Caenis: and I agree... it shall be one of the many topics... because I too think it is interesting
[12:09:44] <%paigeyemps> ooh
[12:09:48] <%Oreoboy1996> Evolventity: nope, always something to learn
[12:09:49] <%RareCola> I've had that before too paige
[12:09:52] <%RareCola> quite interesting

[12:09:58] <Evolventity> Oreoboy1996: Like?
[12:09:59] <Burke> this teacher
[12:10:00] <Lunatide> sit down OpheliaBlue|BRB
[12:10:01] <Burke> always going afk
[12:10:02] <Lunatide> sit.
[12:10:02] <%paigeyemps>
[12:10:03] <Lunatide> down.
[12:10:08] <Lunatide> nw.
[12:10:12] <%Caenis> I've had that in one dream paigeyemps. But I was scared that my mom would get angry with me for messing stuff up. I knew I could control everything though.
[12:10:12] <Burke> leaving it up to the TAs
[12:10:15] <theCambino> look... controlling non-lucids is already being discussed :X
[12:10:38] <%Oreoboy1996> Evolventity: something you don't already know of course
[12:10:40] <theCambino> ...I've had one of those last night paigeyemps
[12:10:44] <Evolventity> >,>
[12:10:44] <%paigeyemps> yea it's quite odd how we are aware that we are in control yet not realize its impossibility
[12:10:56] <DawgBone> yes
[12:10:59] <%Caenis> I know, it's so frustrating.
[12:11:03] <Burke> if you have a question, ask it. If not, help answer others'
[12:11:10] <%Caenis> You'd think one would get lucid from having so much control in a non-lucid.
[12:11:15] <%RareCola> I've had far too many instant wake-ups after becoming lucid recently
[12:11:21] <Evolventity> Am I dreaming?

[12:13:05] <%paigeyemps> how about what Caenis suggested?
[12:13:07] <Lunatide> no?
[12:13:09] <Lunatide> okay.
[12:13:15] <@OpheliaBlue> I like Caenis's #2 topic idea, what friends and family and coworkers think of LDing
[12:13:16] <theCambino> lawls
[12:13:23] <theCambino> agreed
[12:13:26] <Lunatide> Yeah
[12:13:28] <Lunatide> okay
[12:13:35] <Lunatide> Maybe we shouls all do a survey
[12:13:37] <%Oreoboy1996> never talked about it to them
[12:13:37] OpheliaBlue [[email protected]] has changed topic to "What Friends and Family Think of Lucid Dreaming"
[12:13:40] <Lunatide> and report back
[12:13:50] <%paigeyemps> my mom doesn't even listen to me when i talk about normal dreams lol
[12:13:53] <%paigeyemps>
[12:13:55] <Evolventity> They think I'm trying to make them crazy. The end.
[12:13:55] <lucidius^> what?
[12:14:01] <@OpheliaBlue> I just discovered that a coworker of mine has been doing it all his life and assumed everyone else did too haha
[12:14:01] <%Caenis> Aww, that's not very nice of your mom paigeyemps.
[12:14:03] <%RareCola> One of my friends is scared to death of lucid dreaming and thinks I'm mad for attempting it
[12:14:05] <Burke> My dad thinks it's silly, my mom is just uninterested :/
[12:14:17] <Burke> my sister, idk
[12:14:22] <theCambino> before I took a break... my brother was excited that I was so dedicated to lucid dreaming... but now that I am back at it, he is -neutral- about it
[12:14:24] <%paigeyemps> OpheliaBlue: waaaaaaaaaa?!
[12:14:25] <%paigeyemps> :O
[12:14:28] <lucidius^> my family dosnt know or dosnt really care that i LD except for my grandma lol
[12:14:31] <%Oreoboy1996> RareCola: slap him
[12:14:32] <Lunatide> My sister is an ignorant bitch about it
[12:14:34] <Evolventity> OpheliaBlue: Were you skeptical of that at first?
[12:14:38] <@OpheliaBlue> i'm lucky half my family can do it, also my parents are psychiatrists, so it's well known to them
[12:14:40] <Lunatide> she calls it "dream shuffling"
[12:14:53] <%paigeyemps> oh noice!
[12:14:59] <Lunatide> My mother is uninterested
[12:15:01] <Burke> my friends think it's really cool but I don't think any of them try to do it
[12:15:02] <%Caenis> lucidius^: What does your grandmom think about it? Does she LD or somethign too?
[12:15:05] <Lunatide> my step dad I never talk too about it
[12:15:13] <@OpheliaBlue> Evolventity: skeptical of him? I would have been if he had been goofy about the answer, but he told me abouthow he used to change nightmares when he was a kid
[12:15:15] <Evolventity> It's bad to mess with your head like that guys. It's satanic and stuff.
[12:15:24] <%paigeyemps> my family and relatives are very religious and my country is very superstitious, so they look down upon it or something
[12:15:28] <%paigeyemps> oh well, they're missing out
[12:15:28] <@OpheliaBlue> sounded for real, but do any of us know for real if any DV members have them?
[12:15:29] <%paigeyemps> ;D
[12:15:33] <Lunatide> I teach all of my friends xD
[12:15:37] <Lunatide> I am a sensei at school
[12:15:42] <Evolventity> I guess not.
[12:15:54] <theCambino> OpheliaBlue: whha?

[12:16:09] <Evolventity> Dark_Merlins is like that too, Lunatide.
[12:16:09] <theCambino> ^
[12:16:19] <%paigeyemps> what have?
[12:16:25] <theCambino> lol
[12:16:29] <lucidius^> an acuatence of mine once had a LD without even knowing what a LD was and just woke himself up, he was like "WAKE UP, WAKE UP!!!"
[12:16:36] <Lunatide> WAKE UP
[12:16:38] <Evolventity> acuatence
[12:16:38] <Lunatide> WAKE THE FUCK UP
[12:16:40] <%Oreoboy1996> acuatence...
[12:16:42] <theCambino> OpheliaBlue: could you specify more on what other DV members have
[12:16:44] <Evolventity> oreo xD
[12:16:46] <@OpheliaBlue> alot of my friends and coworkers come up to me for dream interpretation advice, because they assume I can since I talk about dreaming alot
[12:16:49] <Burke> !brb
[12:16:50] Burke [[email protected]] is now known as Burke|BRB
[12:16:54] <Lunatide> pleased to meet your akwaytnc

[12:16:57] <Evolventity> That made me LOL.
[12:16:58] <%paigeyemps> guys
[12:17:02] <%paigeyemps> that's my lil bro
[12:17:06] <%paigeyemps> x)
[12:17:08] <@OpheliaBlue> theCambino: oh I was just saying, we trust that everyone's LD experiences are the truth, because there's no way to prove it really
[12:17:09] <Lunatide> lmao
[12:17:14] <Evolventity> What. Your bro is here?
[12:17:16] <%Oreoboy1996> i don't like dream interpretation much
[12:17:19] <Lunatide> OpheliaBlue: Lying about LDing is pointless
[12:17:25] <%paigeyemps> ^^
[12:17:28] <%Oreoboy1996> people seem to assume that everything is a metaphor in your dreams
[12:17:28] <%paigeyemps> yea
[12:17:30] <@OpheliaBlue> Lunatide: it's pointless but I'm sure it's happened
[12:17:36] <Lunatide> Probably
[12:17:37] <theCambino> OpheliaBlue: that is true...
[12:17:38] <Lunatide> I never lie
[12:17:39] <%paigeyemps> if you're gonna lie to strangers anyway, why lie at all, right?
[12:17:41] <%paigeyemps> x)
[12:17:43] <Lunatide> about my dreams
[12:17:43] <%RareCola> I'm always skeptical of natural lucid dreamers, or people who have them without trying. I've found my skepticism is right in a lot of cases, people lie for no good reason a lot of the time.
[12:17:43] <@OpheliaBlue> I don't focus on it, that was just in response to whether or not I believed my coworker
[12:17:45] <theCambino> kinda like the paprika effect
[12:17:46] <@OpheliaBlue> moving on...
[12:17:47] <Evolventity> I hate that so called "Dream interpretation"
[12:17:53] <theCambino> what is real and what is a dream @_@
[12:18:02] <Evolventity> Dreams are real.
[12:18:09] <Evolventity> Everything is real.
[12:18:10] <Lunatide> theCambino: Real is full of dicks and dreaming is full of epicness
[12:18:17] <Lunatide> I wish real life was a dream
[12:18:17] <theCambino> OpheliaBlue: that is cool that you have that relationship though
[12:18:17] <lucidius^> mabey this is all just one big dream
[12:18:22] <Lunatide> lucidius^: lol
[12:18:24] <theCambino> Lunatide: lol
[12:18:25] <Lunatide> copy
[12:18:29] <%paigeyemps> i feel the same way, RareCola
[12:18:33] <%Oreoboy1996> lucidius^: no
[12:18:35] <%Oreoboy1996> i object
[12:18:37] <lucidius^> mabey it isnt your dream either
[12:18:42] <theCambino> Evolventity: I know that... just quoting paprika rather

[12:18:43] <%Oreoboy1996> lucidius^: i object again
[12:18:51] <Evolventity> lucidius^: Maybe you're inside of an atom of another universe and in a millisceond we are all going to be dead.
[12:18:51] <@OpheliaBlue> agreed RareCola

[12:20:13] <Burke> " Thank god for dv" definitely

[12:21:30] <%paigeyemps> ;D
[12:21:30] <%Caenis> It makes sense. They've never experienced it.
[12:21:30] <%RareCola> I don't think people can really comprehend what a lucid dream is like without experiencing it
[12:21:37] <%paigeyemps> ^^
[12:21:46] <%paigeyemps> there's only so many words you can use
[12:21:47] <%RareCola> It's really hard to believe how realistic and amazing they can feel
[12:21:49] <Evolventity> Spent so many LD's trying to make other people lucid. >,>
[12:21:50] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah people who haven't ever LDed generally can't believe it's possible
[12:22:01] <%paigeyemps> evo lolwu
[12:22:03] <%paigeyemps> t
[12:22:04] <%Caenis> Haha, that's unfortunate.
[12:22:07] <@OpheliaBlue> well a few can, hence the ones who joined DVA without ever having one

[12:24:06] <Exotiraan^> "Lucid dreaming looks cool. How can I LD?" "Well, it takes a bit of work and practice—" "Fuck that, I'm out."
[12:24:08] <@OpheliaBlue> I love reading those threads, remembering what it was like when I finally realized what I was doing had a name
[12:24:10] <theCambino> I am a beginner... but not a newb
[12:24:15] <Lunatide> lol Exotiraan^
[12:24:17] <%Oreoboy1996> theCambino: well of course newbs are going to be in that section
[12:24:19] <Lunatide> pretty true
[12:24:23] <Evolventity> Meant non-DV people but okay
[12:24:24] <yuvyuv> well i guess i can convince them its true - i dont think there happy about it
[12:24:28] <%Oreoboy1996> they're eager to learn how to have their first lucid
[12:24:29] <theCambino> atleast I didn't accidently have a LD and then google it
[12:24:37] <lucidius^> wait wait, whats a novice?

[12:25:40] <@OpheliaBlue> lol this isn't the forums, you're allowed to let the topics evolve
[12:25:42] <Lunatide> I'm going to ask my parents what they think of lucid dreaming

[12:26:30] <Evolventity> That too
[12:26:30] <%Caenis> Oh okay, have they ever shared any of their dream experience with you?
[12:26:33] <@OpheliaBlue> (that's Love spelled backwards)
[12:26:42] <Lunatide> Caenis: my mother had SP when she woke up
[12:26:43] <theCambino> evol.... evil
[12:26:49] <Lunatide> and a few vibartions
[12:26:53] <Evolventity> evil live
[12:26:54] <Lunatide> vibartions
[12:26:54] <@OpheliaBlue> Lunatide: really, your mom has sp?
[12:27:06] <Lunatide> She gets it because she fails at sleeping
[12:27:09] <%Caenis> Was she scared when she first had it?
[12:27:11] <Lunatide> propery
[12:27:14] <Lunatide> properly
[12:27:22] <Lunatide> She was kinda of confused
[12:27:26] <Lunatide> and a bit worried
[12:27:29] <@OpheliaBlue> Caenis: yes, my mom and brother both explained that in some morning, they can wake up and reenter their dreams and control them
[12:27:30] <%RareCola|BRB> !back
[12:27:31] RareCola|BRB [[email protected]] is now known as RareCola
[12:27:34] <@OpheliaBlue> so, DEILD basically
[12:27:35] <Lunatide> wb RareCola
[12:27:40] <@OpheliaBlue> I thought that was cool
[12:27:41] <@OpheliaBlue> wb RareCola
[12:27:43] <Evolventity> DEILD <3
[12:27:49] <Lunatide> I don't get DEILD
[12:27:50] <%Caenis> THat's really cool OpheliaBlue.
[12:27:51] <theCambino> my brother was describing a vivid dream once... when I was talking about lucidity... I think I will try to force the topic on him more
[12:28:03] <%RareCola> I've been loving DEILD recently
[12:28:05] <%Caenis> Haha, don't force it. But mentioning it isn't bad.
[12:28:08] <theCambino> but I have a feeling he's not really interested on a personal level
[12:28:13] <theCambino> ooooh DEILD
[12:28:24] lucidius^ brain i about to explode
[12:28:25] <theCambino> ...can't do it when I already do WBTB
[12:28:27] <Lunatide> OpheliaBlue: I like you alot...you seem to be one of the only adults who is interested in LDing
[12:28:33] <Lunatide> ofc there are a lot on DV
[12:28:41] <@OpheliaBlue> my 8 year old son says that he has done some things on purpose in dreams, but not sure if it's because I talk about it all the time. Still, I don't question it in case he's tellign the truth
[12:28:45] <Lunatide> but in real life, people would think "meh I'm not 7"
[12:28:48] <%Oreoboy1996> Lunatide: wake up, be still, and wait for you to enter another dream
[12:29:08] <%RareCola> I think kids in general have more capabilities for dream control
[12:29:11] <theCambino> especially when drinking a lot of apple juice... when I wake up and try to do DEILD... I usually have to take a giant piss and then it's just a WBTB
[12:29:12] <%paigeyemps> oh oh, ever since i was young, i've heard sooooooooo many stories and scary stuff which were actually just SP, every island in my country literally has a different version of it
[12:29:12] <theCambino> :/
[12:29:13] <Lunatide> Keep your eyes closed?
[12:29:15] <@OpheliaBlue> Lunatide: well I've been interested since I was a child, I just didn't get into the practice and science behind it until adulthood, thanks to internet and DV
[12:29:21] <yuvyuv> im not sure LD is positive thats why i dont push my family to it
[12:29:23] <%Oreoboy1996> Lunatide: yes
[12:29:39] <theCambino> Lunatide: yeah
[12:29:39] <Evolventity> Interesting paigeyemps
[12:29:39] <%RareCola> Haha Paige, I remember figuring out how many things made sense when I discovered what Sleep Paralysis was
[12:29:45] <Lunatide> I should probably stick to one method
[12:29:50] <theCambino> paigeyemps: that's awesome
[12:29:51] <Lunatide> which will soon be WILD
[12:29:51] JoeyBelgier [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Client closed the connection
[12:29:55] <@OpheliaBlue> paigeyemps: that's cool.. every island has their own version of it??
[12:30:00] <%paigeyemps> yep
[12:30:03] <%paigeyemps> and there are like
[12:30:05] <%paigeyemps> so many
[12:30:07] <%paigeyemps> islands hahaha
[12:30:12] <Evolventity> Reading about hypnagogia and hypnapompic gave me a lot of answers.
[12:30:15] <%paigeyemps> so many different versions and names of it
[12:30:16] <@OpheliaBlue> man I wonder how many old legends and folklore were sp type nightmares
[12:30:17] <%RareCola> Before my Nan died she would always freak out because she was see snakes crawling all around her room after she woke up. I know now that it must have just been SP
[12:30:26] <%Caenis> yuvyuv: Have you known anyone in real life who is able to LD?
[12:30:28] <@OpheliaBlue> superstitious folks probably assumed it was all real
[12:30:29] <lucidius^> there are alot of scary stories that where just SP?
[12:30:42] <yuvyuv> no
[12:30:46] <@OpheliaBlue> lucidius^: yes
[12:30:58] <lucidius^> hmm
[12:31:00] <@OpheliaBlue> scary, unless you know and accept it for what it is, just sp, HI, etc
[12:31:02] <%paigeyemps> lucidius^: yes, most people are uninformed/misinformed about it so they think it's some superstitious ghost thingy
[12:31:16] <Lunatide> I have a question about WILD
[12:31:18] <theCambino> there was a coworker that found out that I was interested in LD and he told me how he did LD when he was a kid
[12:31:27] <theCambino> but then the coworker went to a different job
[12:31:28] <@OpheliaBlue> vampires were probably some HI nightmare gone breserk haha
[12:31:29] <%Oreoboy1996> ask it then
[12:31:30] <%Caenis> yuvyuv: Then you're like a lot of people here! I've been fortunate to meet some friends who can LD.
[12:31:33] <%paigeyemps> when i started, i was so afraid of SP because i had lots of it when i was a kid
[12:31:34] <Lunatide> Well
[12:31:34] <yuvyuv> i mean if you can get full awerness in LD ( i dont know how much its like real life) then its heaven if not better
[12:31:38] <%RareCola> I don't think people realise how much learning about dreaming can change their lives and expand their knowledge in general
[12:31:43] <%Caenis> It's always nice to be able to talk to other experienced folks about LDing.
[12:31:51] <theCambino> RareCola: seriously!
[12:32:00] <DawgBone> Caenis: yes
[12:32:05] <Lunatide> The question: When I reached SP this morning, I never saw any patterns before SP, I just waited for 40 minutes
[12:32:07] <@OpheliaBlue> hey DawgBone!
[12:32:11] <Lunatide> what does this mean?
[12:32:16] <theCambino> Caenis: not many people outside of chat that I know who are experienced...
[12:32:18] <DawgBone> Hey, O
[12:32:20] JoeyBelgier [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[12:32:23] <yuvyuv> wish i could SP
[12:32:24] <@OpheliaBlue> wb JoeyBelgier
[12:32:24] <Lunatide> JoeyBelgier: wb
[12:32:25] <Lunatide> noob
[12:32:27] <%RareCola> I was somewhat disappointed when I didn't get any hallucinations when I was in sleep paralysis this morning
[12:32:28] <%Oreoboy1996> not everyone experiences hallucinations Lunatide
[12:32:30] <Evolventity> Me too yuvyuv
[12:32:34] <lucidius^> my dream has been wifed from my memorie D:
[12:32:37] <theCambino> wish there was like a group in my city that was involved with lucidity
[12:32:41] <@OpheliaBlue> yes, just like not everyone experiences SP that they are aware of
[12:32:42] <yuvyuv> i lay for 3 hours with nothing
[12:32:49] <Lunatide> As soon as SP struck me like a ninja, faint black diamons appeared
[12:32:52] <Lunatide> then faded
[12:32:52] paigeyemps pretends she didn't see that
[12:33:04] <theCambino>
[12:33:10] <Lunatide> yuvyuv: you need to relax
[12:33:13] <%Caenis> There might be, theCambino, but you just don't know about it. Maybe you can create your own group!
[12:33:14] <@OpheliaBlue> I always find that when I have SP, it's something that happened to me, not something I attempted or strived for and achieved
[12:33:18] <Evolventity> How pissed were you when you realized they weren;t real?
[12:33:21] <Lunatide> try WBTB then just lay in bed for a while
[12:33:24] <@OpheliaBlue> there's more control with HI in my experience
[12:33:25] <%RareCola> Yea, you can't aim to have SP
[12:33:26] <Lunatide> mabe like 30
[12:33:28] <JoeyBelgier> Ya hai
[12:33:39] <theCambino> Caenis: not much of an organizer... since well I don't have all that much experience
[12:33:48] <theCambino> ...I've looked to an extent though
[12:34:15] <theCambino> there is some kind of group... but it's like a book reading group
[12:34:18] <%paigeyemps> OpheliaBlue: DO YOU HAVE A DREAMGUIDE
[12:34:22] <Lunatide> ^
[12:34:23] <%paigeyemps> oops caps sorry
[12:34:25] <Lunatide> I have wanted to ask
[12:34:26] <%paigeyemps> x))))
[12:34:28] <Lunatide> cpas
[12:34:37] <%Oreoboy1996> dream guides
[12:34:45] <Lunatide> Oreoboy1996: has awesome Dgs
[12:34:46] <%paigeyemps> with electrodes :}
[12:34:49] <@OpheliaBlue> paigeyemps: I was starting to think Julio was there for a while
[12:34:54] theCambino doesn't have a DG yet
[12:34:55] <%paigeyemps> hahahahahaha
[12:35:02] <%Oreoboy1996> you're never going to let me forget that are you paigey?
[12:35:02] <Lunatide> theCambino: I don't yet
[12:35:03] <Lunatide> but
[12:35:07] <lucidius^> electrodes WHAT????
[12:35:07] <%paigeyemps> nope
[12:35:10] <%paigeyemps> never
[12:35:11] <Lunatide> I have a possible girl
[12:35:12] <%Oreoboy1996>
[12:35:16] <@OpheliaBlue> ok Lunatide don't kill me, but I have to brb 5 minutes
[12:35:16] <theCambino> Lunatide: eventually
[12:35:17] <@OpheliaBlue> !brb
[12:35:18] OpheliaBlue [[email protected]] is now known as OpheliaBlue|BRB
[12:35:26] <Lunatide> OpheliaBlue|BRB: it's fine
[12:35:30] <Lunatide> questions asked
[12:35:34] <%paigeyemps> my goal this month is to call out for my DG
[12:35:38] <theCambino> my grandfather is a potential DG
[12:35:39] <Lunatide> Good idea
[12:35:41] <%paigeyemps> even if there is no response
[12:35:45] <%paigeyemps> just, call out
[12:35:46] <%paigeyemps> and stuff
[12:35:52] <Lunatide> What is everyone's favourite DG?
[12:36:23] <%Caenis> That's a good idea paigeyemps.
[12:36:23] <%Oreoboy1996> hmm
[12:36:23] <Lunatide> wel
[12:36:23] <Lunatide> who*
[12:36:23] <%Oreoboy1996> I'd say Chris is my favorite
[12:36:23] <Lunatide> He sounds cool
[12:36:23] <lucidius^> i still havnt found my DG
[12:36:23] <yuvyuv> did you say there is a wild technique called HI before?
[12:36:23] <%paigeyemps> i've read that it's better not to look for him/her or something
[12:36:25] <lucidius^> i havnt had a LD in a long time
[12:36:26] <%paigeyemps> just wait around, maybe call out
[12:36:26] <Lunatide> HI is hallucinations
[12:36:28] <Lunatide> I think
[12:36:31] <theCambino> I think there are a lot of us without DGs
[12:36:33] <%Oreoboy1996> paigey be careful, i once searched for my dream guide and all of the ones i found were fakes except for the man who was helping me find them
[12:36:37] <Lunatide> or HH?
[12:36:39] <%Caenis> It's not a technique yuvyuv, it happens during WILDs/SP.
[12:36:47] <%Oreoboy1996> Chris was helping me find a dream guide when he was my guide all along
[12:36:51] <%paigeyemps> D:
[12:36:52] <%paigeyemps> that
[12:36:54] <%paigeyemps> is awesome
[12:36:56] <Lunatide> hahaha
[12:36:58] <yuvyuv> i try now free falling WILD
[12:37:02] <Lunatide> DGception
[12:37:08] <Lunatide> Oh I have a quick question
[12:37:09] <%paigeyemps> i really want Iroh to be my DG though
[12:37:10] <%paigeyemps> hahahaha
[12:37:11] <%paigeyemps> shoot
[12:37:15] <Evolventity> Uhg I want a DG
[12:37:20] <Lunatide> I have never seen inception
[12:37:24] <Lunatide> is it anything like LDing?
[12:37:25] <theCambino> it's be incredible is Cobb was a DG
[12:37:25] <yuvyuv> so i guess its using HI
[12:37:27] <Lunatide> I heard it isn't
[12:37:29] <Evolventity> Or do I?
[12:37:31] <theCambino> it'd****
[12:37:40] <Evolventity> What's so special about DGs?
[12:37:42] <theCambino> damn it
[12:37:46] <Lunatide> Evolventity: They guide you
[12:37:50] <Lunatide> (duh)
[12:37:50] <%Oreoboy1996> Lunatide: inception leaves out a lot of lucid dreaming things in my opinion
[12:37:51] <Lunatide> XD
[12:37:53] <theCambino> it'd be incredible if Cobb was a DG****
[12:38:01] <Evolventity> Why have sevreal DG's?
[12:38:04] <%Oreoboy1996> they hardly used any dream control -_-
[12:38:11] <Lunatide> So you can get gang banged with hints
[12:38:15] <Lunatide> from your DGs
[12:38:15] <%Oreoboy1996> Evolventity: becaue 4 is more fun than 1
[12:38:16] <Evolventity> I'll just talk directly to my subconscious :3
[12:38:26] <%Caenis> Lunatide: Inception has some elements of LDing. Like time dilation, shared dreaming.
[12:38:29] <Evolventity> And have fun with DC's.
[12:38:37] <Lunatide> Okay Caenis
[12:38:39] <Lunatide> well
[12:38:44] <Lunatide> I'm out of class for a bit
[12:38:48] <Lunatide> Going to start a WILD diary
[12:39:01] <%Caenis> All right, good luck Lunatide!
[12:39:02] <Lunatide> Similar to a DJ
[12:39:05] <Lunatide> Thanks
[12:39:14] <Lunatide> It's to track my progress and find mistakes
[12:39:16] <theCambino> I like most when Cobb shows Ariadne that she's dreaming
[12:39:18] <lucidius^> sorry bruce i exidentaly quaryd you
[12:39:20] <theCambino> fwiw
[12:39:20] <Lunatide> Seeya later everyone
[12:39:25] <theCambino> later Lunatide
[12:39:31] <%Caenis> Seeya Luna.
[12:39:37] <theCambino> oh shit I gotta go soon too
[12:39:38] Lunatide [[email protected]] has left #DVA: ""
[12:39:44] <theCambino> ...work :/
[12:39:47] <%RareCola> Out of interest, for the people who write down their dreams, what type of journal do you use? I need to buy a new one because I filled mine up and I can't decide to go with something fancy or just a generic notebook. Or whether to go with something bigger or stick to a small journal.
[12:40:07] <theCambino> I've used notebooks
[12:40:08] <%paigeyemps> i use a binder type
[12:40:10] <theCambino> not that great
[12:40:12] <%Oreoboy1996> i just use my notebook for.... notes
[12:40:13] <%paigeyemps> so i can just add new pages
[12:40:15] lucidius^ is getting frustrated with his memorie
[12:40:18] <%Oreoboy1996> then i write the whole thing on DV
[12:40:19] <theCambino> I go for more fancy ones
[12:40:26] <%RareCola> Ah a binder is a pretty good idea Paige
[12:40:30] <%paigeyemps> yep
[12:40:46] <Evolventity> I use a pen on a notebook/pad to take notes when I wake up. I type out the dreams in detail on Microsft Word.
[12:40:47] <%paigeyemps> i have like 8 sets of pages i took out and replaced with new ones
[12:40:53] <%paigeyemps> and the ones i took out, i put in a small box
[12:40:59] <%paigeyemps> in chronological order ofc
[12:41:02] <%Oreoboy1996> ahh crap i just realized i'll have to write a dj entry because i did a task of the year
[12:41:06] <%RareCola> I was thinking of getting this but I fear it's a bit too fancy xD Amazon.com: Ambigram Leather Journal (Diary, Notebook) (9781593596699): Peter Pauper Press: Books
[12:41:07] <lucidius^> shoebox?
[12:41:19] <%paigeyemps> sort of, yea
[12:41:23] <Evolventity> Don't buy it, RareCola
[12:41:33] <theCambino> RareCola: yeah that's too fancy
[12:41:36] <%paigeyemps> hmm yea
[12:41:40] <theCambino> and in my case, it'd fill up quick
[12:41:50] <theCambino> I like detailed entries
[12:41:51] <@OpheliaBlue|BRB> !back
[12:41:52] OpheliaBlue|BRB [[email protected]] is now known as OpheliaBlue
[12:41:54] theCambino shrugs
[12:41:55] <%RareCola> Might get it just for lucids
[12:41:59] <Evolventity> I got such a fancy journal! *scribbles the fuck out of it in a few weeks*
[12:42:04] <%Oreoboy1996> welcome back OpheliaBlue
[12:42:07] <%RareCola> haha Evolventity
[12:42:09] <%RareCola> Probably true
[12:42:30] <@OpheliaBlue> ooo that's a pretty journal RareCola
[12:42:40] <%Caenis> When I fill my current DJ, I'm just going to use an old spiral notebook I have from school.
[12:42:40] <theCambino> RareCola: for lucids only would be a decent idea... but then you're prioritizing your dreams... which may or may not cause laziness
[12:42:41] <Evolventity> It's leather..........................
[12:42:49] <%Caenis> I'll just remove all of my class-related things from it.
[12:42:53] <lucidius^> i aperently cant flow links
[12:43:02] <%Oreoboy1996> theCambino: i only write my lucids
[12:43:07] <%RareCola> Nah theCambino, I'd have another one for non-lucids.
[12:43:11] <theCambino> but you only have lucids
[12:43:15] <theCambino> Oreoboy1996
[12:43:15] <%Oreoboy1996> true...
[12:43:17] <theCambino> lol
[12:43:26] <Evolventity> Oreoboy1996: Do you save your DJ entries to your computer?
[12:43:32] <theCambino> RareCola: no I know... in a less fancy journal
[12:43:32] <Evolventity> Or just DV?
[12:43:35] <theCambino> just saying
[12:43:38] <%Oreoboy1996> no, just on DV
[12:43:45] <@OpheliaBlue> I have all mine on DV, from like 2004
[12:43:47] <Evolventity> Have you ever thought about... if you leave or are banned?
[12:43:57] <@OpheliaBlue> hahaa I knew where that was going
[12:43:59] TylerRoberts [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[12:44:01] <theCambino> Evolventity: agreed with your point
[12:44:03] <@OpheliaBlue> hey TylerRoberts
[12:44:07] <%Caenis> Hello TylerRoberts.
[12:44:08] <TylerRoberts> I just noticed there was chat!?!?!
[12:44:11] <TylerRoberts> Every time!
[12:44:12] <Evolventity> That' why I save to my computer now.
[12:44:19] <theCambino> but I gotta go to work
[12:44:19] <%Oreoboy1996> Evolventity: what are the odds of me getting banned?
[12:44:20] <%paigeyemps> and then
[12:44:23] <%Oreoboy1996> me leaving is even less likely
[12:44:25] <theCambino> adios everyone
[12:44:28] <Evolventity> I suggested a "Download DV entry"-like option in meta but was ignored.
[12:44:30] <@OpheliaBlue> that's ok TylerRoberts, I'm going to implement a PM system today
[12:44:34] <%paigeyemps> in one apocalytpic event, every digital file is wiped out
[12:44:37] <%Oreoboy1996> besides, if you're banned you can still view dj entries
[12:44:46] <%paigeyemps> every picture, every text
[12:44:47] <%Oreoboy1996> pretty sure about that one
[12:44:48] <%paigeyemps> oh god
[12:44:49] <%paigeyemps> :O
[12:44:49] <Evolventity> Oreoboy1996: Well, you think that now, but things change, people change, you never know. Be prepared!
[12:44:55] <%RareCola> This is why I hate the digital age, Paige
[12:44:56] theCambino [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Quit: Page closed
[12:45:11] <%paigeyemps> :'|
[12:45:16] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah RareCola, you're one of the few traditionalists who still use paper.. I used to though
[12:45:16] <%Oreoboy1996> i'll stick to a DV journal
[12:45:34] <Evolventity> Also, what if DV got hacked again?
[12:45:52] <@OpheliaBlue> and stole all oreoboy's journals! O.O
[12:45:54] <lucidius^> lol sisteremps, apcoliptic data deleteing?

[12:46:02] <%paigeyemps> does traumerei know how to get here?
[12:46:07] <@OpheliaBlue> I'd probably steal oreo's first
[12:46:09] <%Oreoboy1996> Evolventity: then i will demand a server roll back thing
[12:46:19] <Evolventity> Lol.
[12:46:22] <%RareCola> I think keeping a paper journal is a really nice thing to hand down to your kids & grandkids though. Both a dream journal and a normal one.
[12:46:27] <TylerRoberts> The PM system will be nice. Oh! I recalled a fragment of a dream last night!!!!
[12:46:31] <Evolventity> I guess he doesnt care. Anyway.
[12:46:31] <TylerRoberts> I was soo excited!

[12:47:10] <%Oreoboy1996> it's more likely that my computer would get a virus and destroy my hard drive and my DJ with it if i had it on the computer
[12:47:16] <lucidius^> what? DV was hacked?
[12:47:19] <Evolventity> So use an SD card.
[12:47:27] <Evolventity> Or flashdrive.
[12:47:35] <%Oreoboy1996> Evolventity: you confused lucidius
[12:47:42] <Evolventity> :3
[12:48:05] <lucidius^> then the file would just corrupt if he used a flash drive lol
[12:48:17] <%Oreoboy1996> Evolventity: or i could put it on DV and not have to worry
[12:48:30] <lucidius^> with a SD card it wold get snaped in half
[12:48:31] <Evolventity> DV is not that reliable.
[12:48:31] <@OpheliaBlue> hahaa it's ok lucidius^.. we were talking in the hypothetical

[12:49:51] <%paigeyemps> lmao
[12:50:02] <%Oreoboy1996> in this situation you seem to be about as stubborn as me
[12:50:03] <@OpheliaBlue> lucidius^: why not
[12:50:03] <%Oreoboy1996> if not more
[12:50:06] <%paigeyemps> what type of apocalypse

[12:50:45] <%Caenis> Zombies are most likely, yes.
[12:50:49] <lucidius^> i recalled the dreams this morning, didnt DJ and then forgot them
[12:50:49] <%paigeyemps> hmm
[12:50:51] <%paigeyemps> well
[12:50:51] <DawgBone> ha
[12:50:56] <@OpheliaBlue> oh you bad MONKEY
[12:51:10] <%paigeyemps> bringing your DJ around would be..weird
[12:51:11] <%paigeyemps>
[12:51:14] <@OpheliaBlue> lucidius^: do yo uat least have paper and a pencil by your bed?
[12:51:17] <%paigeyemps> lmao
[12:51:25] <lucidius^> nope
[12:51:30] <%Oreoboy1996> i put my notebook and pencil under my pillow
[12:51:34] <%Oreoboy1996> but i usually forget about it
[12:51:38] <@OpheliaBlue> well get up on in there and get it!
[12:51:53] <%Caenis> I did that for a while Oreoboy. I started putting it next to me instead.
[12:51:57] <Evolventity> You know what
[12:52:00] <%RareCola> ohey you saw my post about the madness I had last night then Ophelia? Haha
[12:52:06] <@OpheliaBlue> i did!! haha
[12:52:06] <Evolventity> fuck dj's on computer and DV
[12:52:15] <Evolventity> i will create a device to record your dreams
[12:52:20] <@OpheliaBlue> ok Evolventity, at least TRY to have an opinion about that
[12:52:20] <Evolventity> problem solved
[12:52:21] <%Oreoboy1996> i did that too Caenis, but i would just roll on top of it
[12:52:26] <%Oreoboy1996> and then i'd be like "where did it go?"
[12:52:29] <lucidius^> they already have a dream recording device
[12:52:36] <%Caenis> Haha, I don't roll around too much in my sleep I guess.
[12:52:39] <@OpheliaBlue> RareCola: you had lucid diarrhea
[12:52:47] <@OpheliaBlue> a good thing though
[12:52:47] <lucidius^> it is not open to the public though
[12:52:58] <%paigeyemps> lmao lucid diarrhea
[12:53:04] <Evolventity> lucidius^: Where? In the movie PAprika? lol
[12:53:05] <%RareCola> I wish I could have sustained those lucids. Having another 3 in 2 days would have been awesome
[12:53:10] <%Oreoboy1996> i rolled over at least 10 times before i even got to sleep last night
[12:53:12] <%RareCola> lucid diarrhea is a good word for it
[12:53:16] <%Oreoboy1996> i roll a lot
[12:53:28] <lucidius^> lol, no , in a lab somewhere
[12:53:33] <@OpheliaBlue> I hate rolling... I wonder if it's a matress/pillow thing
[12:53:34] <%RareCola> Heh... as soon as my head hits the pillow I don't remember anything until I next wake up
[12:53:36] <Evolventity> in a lap somewhere
[12:53:38] <Evolventity> seems legit.
[12:53:45] <%Oreoboy1996> i love rolling
[12:53:51] <%RareCola> I tend to find that if I roll over it causes insomnia
[12:53:52] <%Oreoboy1996> makes it easier for me to sleep somehow
[12:53:59] Evolventity thinks you guys are talkin about weed
[12:54:03] <@OpheliaBlue> hahaaa
[12:54:06] <DawgBone> ha
[12:54:11] <%RareCola> Even if I'm uncomfortable I refuse to let myself roll over because I end up just falling asleep quicker anyway
[12:54:18] <@OpheliaBlue> oreo has to toke before he can sleep
[12:54:20] <%Caenis> I just roll until I find a side that's comfortable. Always sleep on one of my sides though.
[12:54:22] <%paigeyemps> hahaha evo
[12:54:31] <%RareCola> haha Evolventity
[12:54:32] <%Oreoboy1996> toke?

[12:55:14] <%paigeyemps> :3

[18:00:54] <%Oreoboy1996> wlecome back ophelia
[18:01:16] <@OpheliaBlue> Oreoboy1996: thanks. hey do you have a topic of interest? if not I will think of one
[18:01:32] <%Oreoboy1996> hmm
[18:01:34] <%Oreoboy1996> not sure
[18:01:36] <syth406> Dream mantras?
[18:01:50] <@OpheliaBlue> oh for MILD?
[18:02:27] <syth406> Yeah
[18:02:46] <@OpheliaBlue> I don't have personal experience with mantras, but I'm interested in the subject, as always regarding LDing
[18:03:05] <syth406> Also I recently learned about schemetas
[18:03:11] <syth406> Don't know exactly how that works

[18:03:32] <%Oreoboy1996> i think i read about schemetas a long time ago
[18:03:40] <smurfman> what are they?
[18:04:02] <%Oreoboy1996> it's where one thought leads to another thought and then into another
[18:04:09] syth406 [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[18:04:14] <@OpheliaBlue> wb syth406
[18:04:28] <syth406> Thx
[18:04:36] <%Oreoboy1996> in can make things in a dream that would seem completely random make sense
[18:04:51] <@OpheliaBlue> I thought schemata, as relating to lucid dreaming, meant we have preconcepted nothions abotu what we can and can't do in an LD
[18:05:20] <%Oreoboy1996> hmm maybe i'm thinking of something else again
[18:05:24] <syth406> In a dream in general I believe
[18:05:38] <@OpheliaBlue> were yo uthinking of cohesive flow Oreoboy1996?
[18:05:57] <syth406> And yeah that's what I'm talking about.
[18:06:29] <%Oreoboy1996> i was thinking that if you like saw a ball
[18:06:40] <%Oreoboy1996> it would make you think of a beach ball which would make you think of the beach
[18:06:41] <@OpheliaBlue> that can be pretty powerful syth406.. kinda of like mind over matter
[18:06:51] <%Oreoboy1996> and then in less than a second you would be dreaming you're on a beach
[18:07:01] <@OpheliaBlue> ohhhh
[18:07:08] <smurfman> so it basically explains why your dreams jump around so much?
[18:07:21] <@OpheliaBlue> that's also called schemata?
[18:07:22] <%Oreoboy1996> yeah
[18:07:33] <syth406> Yes
[18:07:35] <%Oreoboy1996> it's either called a schema or a schemeta
[18:07:38] <%Oreoboy1996> something like that
[18:07:50] <%Oreoboy1996> i don't think i've read up on it in over a year
[18:07:54] <RommiH|Away> oh crap forgot about the class. Got distracted. Spongebob is on

[18:22:01] <syth406> When I went on vacation and it was quieter at night, I got to a point where I could recall even the short dreams.
[18:22:21] <Kraom> hi
[18:22:34] <syth406> 3 minimum a night. It was incredibly fun, but a pain to write down.
[18:23:10] <syth406> And when I got back I couldn't remember all the important details so that the dream would be interesting to read on dv.
[18:23:31] <RommiH|BRB> !back
[18:23:32] RommiH|BRB [[email protected]] is now known as RommiH
[18:23:38] <%Caenis> That's a shame syth.
[18:23:45] <@OpheliaBlue> as long as it's lucid, it will be interesting tp post on DV in my opinion
[18:23:54] <@OpheliaBlue> I think I learn something from every lucid dream i read about
[18:24:08] <Wurlman> Agreed!
[18:24:15] <@OpheliaBlue> especially with respect to how it was induced, and how it was subsequently sustained
[18:24:27] <syth406> I haven't had a successful ld yet
[18:24:37] <Wurlman> U will
[18:24:37] <DaveTheJoker> what I dont stand is the extreme volitility in recall
[18:24:48] <DaveTheJoker> Some nights I cant remember squat
[18:24:50] <syth406> I had one semi lucid where I just did a finger through palm and noticed something weird, but then I just drifted off.
[18:24:51] <Wurlman> In time just stay focused and keep reading
[18:24:52] <DaveTheJoker> others I can remember 5
[18:25:04] <syth406> But this schemeta thing should prove useful knowledge.
[18:25:34] <Wurlman> What's that about??
[18:25:37] <smurfman> it might make me more lucid
[18:25:41] <%Oreoboy1996> the only practical use for the schemeta thing i've found is it can teach you to recall dreams easier
[18:25:52] <@OpheliaBlue> why, because of thought linked to thought?
[18:25:55] <%Oreoboy1996> you just have to think schematically when you recall
[18:25:56] <syth406> Read this, wurlman http://www.dreamviews.com/f14/master...-dreams-48095/
[18:25:59] <@OpheliaBlue> you remember it like a chain?
[18:26:01] <smurfman> if things keep changing the way i expect them too
[18:26:02] <Wurlman> What's that about I want info on it
[18:26:04] <RommiH> I have tried many DEILDs but they pretty much always fail. Nothing happens. Anyone succeed in DEILDs? what happened?
[18:26:08] <%Oreoboy1996> yep
[18:26:09] <smurfman> that could be a dream sign
[18:26:14] <%Caenis> DaveTheJoker: Dream recall depends on a large amount of variables, so I guess it's not surprising that your recall is so inconsistent.
[18:26:17] <Wurlman> Ah thank u
[18:26:19] <@OpheliaBlue> you might be onto something there oreo
[18:26:31] <DaveTheJoker> yea I wish I could get it more consistant though
[18:26:35] <DaveTheJoker> makes it frustrating
[18:26:37] <%Oreoboy1996> I'm fairly good at DEILD but i don't like it much
[18:26:42] <@OpheliaBlue> maybe that's why we remember dreams later in the day too.. a thought led to a thought that parallelled the dream
[18:26:47] <%Oreoboy1996> DEILDs tend to be of a lower quality for me personally i think
[18:27:02] <RommiH> what do you go thorough? what do you experience?
[18:27:05] <%Oreoboy1996> yeah ophelia
[18:27:06] <@OpheliaBlue> DEILDs are somewhat of a reduced version of a solid WILD
[18:27:22] <@OpheliaBlue> a great way to sleep in though
[18:27:24] <syth406> Well, no there were articles linked there that were talking about how all the regular dream "Laws" like lightswitches not working and not being able to read books, hands looking different, these things were all created by the lucid dreaming community, and infected everyone with set expectations.
[18:27:25] <%Oreoboy1996> i rarely experience anything during DEILD
[18:27:34] <%Oreoboy1996> i just fade back into the dream
[18:27:47] <RommiH> well in that case I might have had one or two
[18:27:49] <Wurlman> Him
[18:27:57] <Wurlman> Hum*
[18:28:03] <RommiH> i expect it to be like a WILD
[18:28:04] <%Oreoboy1996> makes sense syth406
[18:28:07] Evolventity [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[18:28:11] <RommiH> with all the weird stuff happening
[18:28:12] <%Oreoboy1996> seeing as i can actually read and turn on lights
[18:28:44] <@OpheliaBlue> hey Evolventity
[18:28:52] <syth406> Well, now that I have those "placeebos" out of the way, things should be slightly easier.
[18:29:15] <Wurlman> I've been having a lot of dreams about dreaming or talking about it latly I figured that means I'm getting a little closer to my goals what do u think?
[18:29:19] <DaveTheJoker> Is SP supposed to feel weird?
[18:29:23] <smurfman> no matter what im always gonna be afraid of mirrors
[18:29:23] <Evolventity> Hey OpheliaBlue
[18:29:24] <DaveTheJoker> mine feels kinda normal
[18:29:36] <Evolventity> DEILD <3
[18:29:42] <Evolventity> Easier and faster than WILD.
[18:29:43] <syth406> What's SP?
[18:29:43] <RommiH> Oh and I think I have you to thank Oreoboy1996 for general increased awareness in all of my dreams
[18:29:46] <%Caenis> Yes Wurlman, you're getting close!
[18:29:47] <RommiH> that DDA
[18:29:52] <%Oreoboy1996> DaveTheJoker: since you go through sp every night, technically no
[18:29:55] <@OpheliaBlue> Wurlman: definitely. There's a popular lucid dreamer on youtube that calls dreamign about LDing a layer 0 lucid
[18:29:56] <%Caenis> Those are called Layer 0 dreams.
[18:30:00] OctoberWind [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[18:30:04] <%Oreoboy1996> i'm glad it works for you RommiH
[18:30:06] <@OpheliaBlue> usually precedes having lucid dreams
[18:30:09] <%Oreoboy1996> hello OctoberWind
[18:30:12] <OctoberWind> hello
[18:30:15] <syth406> U mean reecejones?
[18:30:16] <@OpheliaBlue> hey OctoberWind
[18:30:19] <OctoberWind> hai ^^
[18:30:25] <%Oreoboy1996> syth406: sp = sleep paralysis
[18:30:27] <RommiH> hey octoberwind
[18:30:29] <%Caenis> Hello OctoberWind.
[18:30:30] <@OpheliaBlue> (enough folks for you yet, DaveTheJoker ?)
[18:30:31] <syth406> Ah.
[18:30:33] <OctoberWind> hi
[18:30:39] <OctoberWind> (friendly folk here)
[18:30:39] <tehmuffinman> Oh it does? I never heard of those Layer 0's. I took those dreams to mean lucid dreaming was on my mind but I was severely lacking in awareness
[18:30:44] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah reece jones
[18:30:44] <DaveTheJoker> yea lots now
[18:31:09] <RommiH> I used to dream about LDs a lot when I first got into dreaming
[18:31:13] <DaveTheJoker> OpheliaBlue: your avatar scares me
[18:31:14] OctoberWind takes her spot in her lurking chair
[18:31:18] <Wurlman> Ah yes I'm fermilar
[18:31:20] <RommiH> it sorta frustrated me
[18:31:20] <syth406> He seems a little bit crazy, but some of his older videos have proven useful none the less.
[18:31:22] <@OpheliaBlue> tehmuffinman: it is..I don't consider dreaming about lucid dreaming an LD persay, but I find that i'm usually having a lucid dream soon after one
[18:31:26] <%Oreoboy1996> same happened to me RommiH
[18:31:33] <@OpheliaBlue> DaveTheJoker: good. gooood.
[18:31:38] <DaveTheJoker> ...
[18:31:38] <%Oreoboy1996> most of the time i would catch on to it though and facepalm
[18:31:41] <tehmuffinman> alright
[18:31:56] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah it's a major facepalm
[18:31:58] <Wurlman> U guys r so kick ass wish I ha people all around me to talk about it all day!
[18:32:08] <%Oreoboy1996> lol
[18:32:15] <@OpheliaBlue> awww <3 Wurlman
[18:32:20] <RommiH> lol never me i could even give proof that I was dreamin but not get lucid somehow...
[18:32:22] <OctoberWind> there's always #LucidDreaming here if you like talking
[18:32:36] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah and OreoBoy is almost always there
[18:32:51] <OctoberWind> Oreo is always watching
[18:32:53] <DaveTheJoker> ^
[18:32:54] <@OpheliaBlue> and he's an encyclopedia of lucid dreamign and experience to boot
[18:32:58] <OctoberWind> even when he's marked away o.o
[18:32:59] <%Oreoboy1996> yeah i usually wait for someone to bring up a topic there before i jump in
[18:33:09] <syth406> When I become lucid, this is the first thing I'm gonna try. http://www.dreamviews.com/f14/infini...reaming-46571/
[18:33:09] <DaveTheJoker> Yea hes a joker
[18:33:14] <@OpheliaBlue> oh damn whatever happened to Hukif
[18:33:22] <RommiH> most of my friends are into LDing too
[18:33:26] <DaveTheJoker> wow
[18:33:28] <RommiH> so i have plenty to talk to
[18:33:39] <%Oreoboy1996> too long, will read later (maybe) >.>
[18:33:41] <OctoberWind> I have no friends that are into LDing
[18:33:44] <OctoberWind> :<
[18:33:50] <OctoberWind> (except my dv friends)
[18:33:51] <syth406> I only have 2 friends that are into lding
[18:33:53] <%Oreoboy1996> not sure Ophelia
[18:33:55] <@OpheliaBlue> that's cool RommiH
[18:33:56] <DaveTheJoker> I dont know anyone who knows what LDing is
[18:34:00] <cookieh> i have one or two that would be interested..
[18:34:03] <%Oreoboy1996> i don't know anyone in real life who lucid dreams
[18:34:05] <syth406> One has had an actual successful LD, but a rather lame one.
[18:34:14] <cookieh> one of them asked me to link this place a while ago
[18:34:20] <@OpheliaBlue> haha topic deja vu
[18:34:22] <cookieh> bbut i smoothly ignored it.
[18:34:23] <syth406> Just something aobut him realizing he was at driver's ed on the wrong day, and he got lucid, woke up.
[18:34:29] <RommiH> they are pretty good at it too a few of them
[18:34:33] <%RareCola|Away> o_O busy class today; hey guys
[18:34:38] <cookieh> hi RareCola|Away
[18:34:42] <RommiH> hey
[18:34:42] <%Oreoboy1996> hello RareCola
[18:34:52] <%RareCola|Away> Not here for long, just checking in inbetween doing stuff
[18:34:53] <RommiH> mmm im hungry
[18:34:53] <syth406> Rarecola!
[18:34:59] <DaveTheJoker> I have had 13 LDs and not one where I actually did anything
[18:35:04] <Wurlman> Wud up rare cola!!
[18:35:07] <DaveTheJoker> sumpm aint right
[18:35:13] <%RareCola|Away> Hey Wurlman! Welcome to the IRC
[18:35:15] <DaveTheJoker> o hai RareCola|Away
[18:35:18] <@OpheliaBlue> hey RareCola|Away
[18:35:23] <%RareCola|Away> <3
[18:35:25] <@OpheliaBlue> I sent PMs
[18:35:27] <@OpheliaBlue> loads of them
[18:35:29] <@OpheliaBlue>
[18:35:32] <Wurlman> It sucks trying to chat on the iPhone bro
[18:35:34] <%RareCola|Away> Ahh makes sense
[18:35:35] <DaveTheJoker> SPAMMER
[18:35:36] <%Caenis> Haha, you'll get there soon DaveTheJoker. You've had a lot of success recently, just imagine yourself stabilizing when you become lucid next.
[18:35:39] <RommiH> Davethejoker i never really do that much myself until recently
[18:35:46] <OctoberWind> I'm back up to an LD every 2 or 3 nights
[18:35:55] <@OpheliaBlue> oh well done OctoberWind
[18:35:56] <%Oreoboy1996> DaveTheJoker: is it because you're dreams end too soon or because you forget you can do things?
[18:35:59] <OctoberWind> not as good as before my dry spell, but I can't complain
[18:36:09] <DaveTheJoker> Caenis: I did, but now I am having a little dry spell
[18:36:12] <Wurlman> Congrats October I envy u
[18:36:16] <@OpheliaBlue> who was it that was scared to even walk in an LD? oh that was Merro I think
[18:36:16] <%Oreoboy1996> i think i had 4 lucids last night
[18:36:23] <RommiH> wow
[18:36:24] <OctoberWind> aww
[18:36:25] <OctoberWind> lol
[18:36:26] <RommiH> 4
[18:36:26] <syth406> According to BillyBob, the whole dream stabalization is completely unneccessary if no one ever tells you that dream stabalization is a thing.
[18:36:30] <%Caenis> Psh. You're a dreaming machine Dave, your dry spell won't last long.
[18:36:31] <DaveTheJoker> Oreoboy1996: once I become lucid, they end within second
[18:36:39] <%RareCola|Away> I don't believe that syth406
[18:36:42] <OctoberWind> syth, I always feel the need to stabalize a bit
[18:36:49] <@OpheliaBlue> syth406: I think that is true ALOT, but maybe not exclusive
[18:36:57] <%Oreoboy1996> stabilize within that one second then
[18:37:04] <RommiH> i never had the problem of lds ending fast
[18:37:05] <OctoberWind> I think it helps
[18:37:10] <%Oreoboy1996> if that isn't possible, then incubate stability
[18:37:14] <RommiH> they last long time for me
[18:37:15] <OctoberWind> before I even heard of it my dreams were a bit shakey
[18:37:16] <%Oreoboy1996> i'd like to know if that's possible
[18:37:20] <%RareCola|Away> It probably does make it worse believing that you need to stabilise, but I don't think it's to the point where you don't have to stabilise if you don't know about it.
[18:37:27] <RommiH> when i do get them that is
[18:37:34] <OctoberWind> incubate stability
[18:37:40] <OctoberWind> i think that's very possible
[18:37:40] <@OpheliaBlue> exactly
[18:37:44] <Wurlman> Rommih!!!!! Luck bastardi
[18:37:46] <%Oreoboy1996> incubation solves everything
[18:37:52] <OctoberWind> ikr
[18:37:55] <DaveTheJoker> Oreoboy1996: I can only incubate so much
[18:37:56] <syth406> Okay, fair enough, but keeping in mind that nearly everything you know about dreaming is exclusivly based off other people's experiences is a good thing to keep in mind.
[18:38:05] <OctoberWind> I incubate uber easy, so I'm very blessed that way
[18:38:10] <DaveTheJoker> I can only say so many mantras
[18:38:11] <%Oreoboy1996> DaveTheJoker: incubate the ability to incubate more
[18:38:19] <DaveTheJoker> lol
[18:38:22] <RommiH> hah
[18:38:24] <RommiH> sa
[18:38:26] <RommiH> a
[18:38:27] <OctoberWind> rofl oreo
[18:38:32] <@OpheliaBlue> hahaa
[18:38:36] <Wurlman> Dave do u I an iPhone
[18:38:38] <%RareCola|Away> Anyway back to being away, nice to see some new faces in here tonight! Shame I couldn't be around for more of it. Maybe I'll see you all another time
[18:38:39] <%Oreoboy1996> more seriously though, you can do more than mantras to incubate
[18:38:42] <DaveTheJoker> Wurlman: nope
[18:38:42] <%Caenis> DaveTheJoker: I use my mantras for recall and lucidity. Then I daydream about myself using RCs and stabilizing.
[18:38:49] <OctoberWind> DaveTheJoker: You can't incubate if you say you can't
[18:38:54] <@OpheliaBlue> awww see ya RareCola|Away
[18:38:55] <%Oreoboy1996> you could write out what you want sort of like a journal
[18:39:07] <DaveTheJoker> well I have been able to incubate
[18:39:07] <%Oreoboy1996> write about the dream you want to have
[18:39:09] <OctoberWind> baibai rarecola
[18:39:12] <Wurlman> Damn ever try guided relaxation?
[18:39:21] <DaveTheJoker> I havent
[18:39:22] <Wurlman> It helped me wild last time
[18:39:25] <%Oreoboy1996> you could also try daydreaming about it
[18:39:25] <@OpheliaBlue> what's guided relaxation?
[18:39:28] <OctoberWind> that's one of the best ideas I've read abou Oreoboy1996
[18:39:30] <OctoberWind> *about
[18:39:43] <OctoberWind> visual mantras/incubation always work the best for me
[18:39:50] <Wurlman> It's Somone talking well soft sounds are played
[18:39:55] <%Oreoboy1996> same for me OctoberWind
[18:39:58] <%Oreoboy1996> i love daydreaming
[18:40:02] <DaveTheJoker> I have noticed if I want something bad I am less likely to attain it
[18:40:03] <RommiH> how long is this class expected to last?
[18:40:04] <OctoberWind> same here ^^
[18:40:09] <%Oreoboy1996> RommiH: another 20 minutes
[18:40:17] <OctoberWind> Thinking of a little plot right before bed helps get me to sleep easier too
[18:40:17] <@OpheliaBlue> 20 more minutes RommiH.. wy, you got a date?
[18:40:19] <Wurlman> Leads u into a relaxing state
[18:40:24] <%Oreoboy1996> date with an alien
[18:40:30] <@OpheliaBlue> haha I was so gonna say that
[18:40:32] <syth406> Yeah oreoboy written dream incubation seems like it would be more effective for me.
[18:40:37] <RommiH> ^^exactly
[18:40:45] <OctoberWind> I like to draw out my incubations
[18:40:45] <DaveTheJoker> well thinking makes me uncomfortable unforchunately
[18:40:47] <%Oreoboy1996> ever since i was little i would daydream of some story to help myself fall asleep
[18:40:49] <DaveTheJoker> because I love thinking
[18:40:53] <OctoberWind> unforchunately
[18:40:56] <syth406> I'm a "Linguistic Learner" so that seems more practical.
[18:40:58] <RommiH> i gotta go real soon
[18:41:02] <%Oreoboy1996> i love thinking too lol
[18:41:09] <%Oreoboy1996> i think myself to sleep
[18:41:12] <RommiH> i think too much
[18:41:14] <DaveTheJoker> thats my problem
[18:41:19] <RommiH> its exhausting
[18:41:21] <@OpheliaBlue> that's ok RommiH, you're not graded for being in here
[18:41:21] <DaveTheJoker> if I think alot before sleeping
[18:41:30] <OctoberWind> i do too
[18:41:31] <DaveTheJoker> I cant sleep
[18:41:44] <Wurlman> Me to practice makes perfect that's why I use guided relaxation help u not think so much
[18:41:57] <RommiH> well i should go now
[18:42:00] <OctoberWind> baibai
[18:42:02] <DaveTheJoker> Wurlman: what technique do you use
[18:42:02] <RommiH> wish i could stay
[18:42:08] <%Caenis> See you later RommiH.
[18:42:08] <@OpheliaBlue> ok see ya next time RommiH
[18:42:09] <%Oreoboy1996> well i suppose it's more like i let myself think without too much work from my conscious if that makes sense
[18:42:10] <DaveTheJoker> next time,
[18:42:12] <RommiH> great class today though!
[18:42:14] <RommiH> Bye
[18:42:15] <DaveTheJoker> bye RommiH
[18:42:17] <%Oreoboy1996> so it eventually allows me to drift off into sleep
[18:42:19] <OctoberWind> I've never been much of a fan of guided relaxation
[18:42:23] <RommiH> !AWAY
[18:42:24] RommiH [[email protected]] is now known as RommiH|Away
[18:42:28] <OctoberWind> But whatever works for you ^^
[18:42:33] <Wurlman> Wild deld and deild
[18:42:41] <%Oreoboy1996> guided relaxation? I just do whatever feels natural to me
[18:42:44] <Wurlman> It really helps me
[18:42:48] <DaveTheJoker> yea usually it seems like I am either tired or I am not
[18:42:53] <syth406> Hmmm.... Idea.
[18:42:54] <DaveTheJoker> I have trouble making myself tired
[18:42:58] <Wurlman> I wish I could do it better without
[18:43:10] <OctoberWind> baths always get me tired
[18:43:15] <OctoberWind> v__v
[18:43:29] <DaveTheJoker> I should shower before bed
[18:43:34] <DaveTheJoker> that actually would make me tired
[18:43:41] <Wurlman> Sexy time makes me tiered afterward lol
[18:43:46] <DaveTheJoker> ^
[18:43:46] <OctoberWind> rofl
[18:43:49] <%Caenis> Showers make me more awake.
[18:43:52] <syth406> I should find something to read that is so confusing that it becomes ideological white noise and makes me fall asleep.
[18:43:53] <DaveTheJoker> it doesnt do that for me
[18:43:54] <@OpheliaBlue> haha ok Wurl
[18:43:57] <OctoberWind> hot showers make me tired
[18:43:57] <%Oreoboy1996> yeah baths/showers can tire me out too
[18:44:11] <DaveTheJoker> with the lights off
[18:44:33] <Wurlman> Sry but true
[18:44:34] <OctoberWind> ugh
[18:44:39] <@OpheliaBlue> syth406: that's.. interesting
[18:44:40] <OctoberWind> I showered in the dark this morning
[18:44:41] <OctoberWind> not fun
[18:44:48] <DaveTheJoker> OctoberWind: why not
[18:44:52] <DaveTheJoker> did u fall
[18:44:54] <OctoberWind> lol sytg
[18:44:57] <OctoberWind> *syth
[18:45:03] <Wurlman> Lmao that's dangerous
[18:45:05] <@OpheliaBlue> but makes sense.. I once read a volume of Dairy Science and Technology and I went out like a light
[18:45:11] <OctoberWind> no, but I knocked into the box of cleaning razors then stepped on one :x
[18:45:18] <%Caenis> Ouch.
[18:45:21] <DaveTheJoker> owwww
[18:45:22] <Wurlman> Ugh
[18:45:25] <%Oreoboy1996> oh yeah, reading also tires me out
[18:45:30] <@OpheliaBlue> ewww damn
[18:45:34] <DaveTheJoker> reading wakes me up too
[18:45:34] <OctoberWind> Reading always makes me more awake
[18:45:48] <DaveTheJoker> reading is as bad as DV for me
[18:45:56] <DaveTheJoker> well almost
[18:45:59] <OctoberWind> but when I was (and still am) a major Harry Potter nerd, I would read right before bed then dream of magic and such
[18:46:04] <syth406> Try reading way above your reading level
[18:46:07] <syth406> Then say that again.
[18:46:10] <%Oreoboy1996> i usually read a chapter of the hobbit and then tired out real quick
[18:46:14] <@OpheliaBlue> I was JUST thinking about my days of reading HP OctoberWind
[18:46:22] <OctoberWind> read russian lit
[18:46:26] <OctoberWind> lol ^^
[18:46:26] <@OpheliaBlue> Kraom: you still in here man?
[18:46:29] <syth406> Hahahahhahahahha
[18:46:36] <DaveTheJoker> I read nonfiction usually
[18:46:37] <DaveTheJoker> politics
[18:46:43] <Kraom> mhmm sorry just reading the chat
[18:46:50] <syth406> Nah politics would interest me too much.
[18:46:51] <DaveTheJoker> but now Im on a novel and that seems better
[18:47:00] <DaveTheJoker> better for going to sleep
[18:47:08] <OctoberWind> I read a lot of nonfiction
[18:47:10] <tehmuffinman> i was at the library the other day and found a fantastic book all about circles
[18:47:11] <smurfman> kroam: its ok lurking is good too
[18:47:17] <OctoberWind> medical sorta stuff, mostly on the brain
[18:47:20] <%Caenis> That's good Dave. Have you stopped using your computer just before you go to sleep?
[18:47:26] <tehmuffinman> not entertaining in the slightest but i couldnt stop reading it
[18:47:26] <OctoberWind> but I like reading fiction and mysteries before bed
[18:47:27] <syth406> Maybe I just need to find something that I just couldn't ever give a fuck about.
[18:47:29] <@OpheliaBlue> haha that's ok, just wondering Kraom
[18:47:54] <DaveTheJoker> Caenis: not really, I think I will start tonight by taking a shower and then reading
[18:48:02] OctoberWind fails at being a lurker
[18:48:03] <DaveTheJoker> of course with the computer shut off
[18:48:08] <%Caenis> Good, good.
[18:48:10] <@OpheliaBlue> syth406: try Dairy Science and Technology.. I could link you to a volume.
[18:48:16] <syth406> Sure
[18:48:21] <@OpheliaBlue> they're from 1970's and earlier, the free ones anyway
[18:48:28] <@OpheliaBlue> haha ok hold on
[18:48:30] <OctoberWind> I have an aquarium in my room, the noise of the filter sounds like a waterfall and always puts me to sleep
[18:48:31] <syth406> I'm not sure though... I like science and technology.
[18:48:48] <syth406> OOHHHHH
[18:48:53] <DaveTheJoker> I blame my bed for some of it too
[18:48:56] <syth406> I should read a coding book.
[18:48:59] <DaveTheJoker> I freaking hate my bed
[18:49:14] <OctoberWind> aww
[18:49:20] <OctoberWind> lol syth
[18:49:22] Caenis sets fire to DaveTheJoker's bed.
[18:49:25] <syth406> I hate coding.
[18:49:34] <syth406> I tried python once and raged after a week.
[18:49:35] <DaveTheJoker> Caenis: thank you
[18:49:41] <%Caenis> You're welcome.
[18:49:52] <DaveTheJoker> 50 year old bed
[18:49:53] <smurfman> i love it but reading abotut it puts me to sleep
[18:49:55] <DaveTheJoker> needs to die
[18:49:57] <OctoberWind> D:
[18:49:59] <syth406> I could understand most of the stuff, it just bored the hell out of me
[18:49:59] <Wurlman> Lmao
[18:50:00] <OctoberWind> 50?
[18:50:02] <DaveTheJoker> matress
[18:50:11] <DaveTheJoker> my great grandma slept on it before she died
[18:50:14] <%Caenis> Seriously?
[18:50:16] <DaveTheJoker> yes
[18:50:18] <OctoberWind> O.O
[18:50:21] <OctoberWind> you need a new bed
[18:50:22] <Wurlman> Wtf dude
[18:50:23] <DaveTheJoker> then my aunt said it smelled
[18:50:26] <%Caenis> Mattresses need to be replaced every decade or so. o_o
[18:50:27] <DaveTheJoker> and gave it to my dad
[18:50:32] <DaveTheJoker> who gave it to me to sleep on
[18:50:35] <OctoberWind> poor kid
[18:50:37] <syth406> Flip it overt

[18:51:07] <@OpheliaBlue> ooo here's a good one on bacteriophages: Industrial significance of lactococcal bacteriophages
[18:51:10] <smurfman> gross fact: matresses gain 10 pounds after a decade due to skin cells from your body

[18:58:17] <TylerRoberts> Uhmm.....
[18:58:18] <DaveTheJoker> shoot
[18:58:24] <tehmuffinman> bang
[18:58:29] <%Caenis> Thank you OctoberWind.
[18:58:40] <OctoberWind> ^^
[18:58:43] <DaveTheJoker> I like ducks
[18:58:45] <%Caenis> Yes TylerRoberts?
[18:58:48] <DaveTheJoker> I should change my avatar to a duck
[18:58:48] <%Caenis> I have a duck.
[18:58:48] <%Oreoboy1996> i like trees
[18:58:48] <TylerRoberts> In one of my dreams, I thought to myself, "I can't wait to journal this!" So, I knew I was dreaming? I didn't have any degree of control. So, question is, was I lucid?
[18:59:01] <DaveTheJoker> Caenis: are you the guy with the pictures of a duck
[18:59:02] <@OpheliaBlue> haha interesting
[18:59:08] <OctoberWind> wow, nice x3
[18:59:18] tehmuffinman [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Quit: Page closed
[18:59:23] <OctoberWind> just cause you know you're dreaming doesn't mean you control it
[18:59:25] <%Oreoboy1996> TylerRoberts: if you knew you were dreaming
[18:59:26] <DaveTheJoker> TylerRoberts: yes you were
[18:59:26] <OctoberWind> and vice versa
[18:59:27] <%Oreoboy1996> you were lucid
[18:59:32] <%Oreoboy1996> dream control isn't a factor
[18:59:34] <OctoberWind> you can be lucid with no control
[18:59:36] <%Caenis> Oh yeah, I saw your post about that Tyler. I'd say you were semi-lucid. Or lucid. Definitely lucid to some degree.
[18:59:38] <%Oreoboy1996> it's a seperate thing
[18:59:42] <@OpheliaBlue> that's a good question, but I'd say it's lucid, just a low enough level where you didn't even think to try to control anything
[18:59:45] <DaveTheJoker> I would count it as lucid
[18:59:47] <%Oreoboy1996> yes to what OctoberWind said
[18:59:51] <OctoberWind>
[18:59:56] <OctoberWind> omg someone agreed with me
[18:59:57] <%Caenis> And yes, I'm the guy posting pictures of ducks in the forum.
[19:00:01] <DaveTheJoker> cool
[19:00:01] <@OpheliaBlue> yes to all y'all haha
[19:00:04] <DaveTheJoker> I love dicks
[19:00:06] <DaveTheJoker> shiittt
[19:00:08] <DaveTheJoker> *DUCKS
[19:00:11] <OctoberWind> xD
[19:00:12] <@OpheliaBlue> oh you shit
[19:00:12] <DaveTheJoker> I love DUCKS
[19:00:13] <smurfman> lol
[19:00:15] Caenis backs away from DaveTheJoker.
[19:00:16] <TylerRoberts> That sucks....
[19:00:20] <OctoberWind> quoting that
[19:00:22] <TylerRoberts> I wanted my first lucid to be good!
[19:00:29] <%Oreoboy1996> that sucks?
[19:00:32] <%Oreoboy1996> you were lucid
[19:00:33] <%Oreoboy1996> be happy
[19:00:55] <Kraom> in around my first ten lucid dreams i woke up after becoming lucid.
[19:00:56] <%Caenis> TylerRoberts: My first LD, I woke up as soon as I realized I was lucid. Your first LD isn't too bad.
[19:01:00] <@OpheliaBlue> oh we still need to get together Caenis don't we.. PM me a good time for yuo this week
[19:01:03] <%Oreoboy1996> the first few lucids are rarely of the best kind
[19:01:05] <TylerRoberts> Oh, im not upset. I just wanted my first lucid to be different then my other dreams.
[19:01:19] <%Caenis> Sure OpheliaBlue, thanks for reminding me! I've been meaning to respond to your PM. I just forget.
[19:01:22] <%Oreoboy1996> you focus on gaining lucidity before you focus on things like control
[19:01:23] <TylerRoberts> Well, it was just that one thought.
[19:01:24] <@OpheliaBlue> Kraom: I understand, I STILL sometimes wake up too soon
[19:01:30] <TylerRoberts> After that it was like any other dream
[19:01:36] <TylerRoberts> Well, actually...
[19:01:36] <OctoberWind> DaveTheJoker: http://www.dreamviews.com/f21/dv-cha...7/index37.html
[19:01:43] <TylerRoberts> I thought that and got attacked by birds
[19:01:44] <Kraom> yea i also forget to stabilize while doing things
[19:01:49] <TylerRoberts> Then woke up
[19:01:58] <DaveTheJoker> OctoberWind: lovely
[19:02:02] <%Oreoboy1996> lol
[19:02:07] <OctoberWind>
[19:02:09] <OctoberWind> <3 you too
[19:02:10] <%Caenis> Haha, very nice OctoberWind.
[19:02:30] <OctoberWind> dammit
[19:02:34] <OctoberWind> I wish I could have met Naiya
[19:02:44] <OctoberWind> she has amazing tutorials i___i
[19:02:45] <DaveTheJoker> whos dat
[19:02:51] <@OpheliaBlue> Kraom: I finally started making a short list for when I become lucid. usually includes looking in a mirror, remembering the TOTM, things like that
[19:02:59] <DaveTheJoker> oh that gal with those guides
[19:03:06] <@OpheliaBlue> and make myself memorize it so I don't forget when I get lucid
[19:03:06] <%Caenis> She/He does, I like reading them. Naiya's tutorials are rather in-depth.
[19:03:09] <%Oreoboy1996> DaveTheJoker: Naiya is probably one of the greatest contributers to dream views
[19:03:26] <OctoberWind> *on topic side of dream views
[19:03:28] <DaveTheJoker> Is there a place with a list to all her tutorials?
[19:03:36] <OctoberWind> I've just bookmarked them
[19:03:38] <%Oreoboy1996> on topic side is the only side that really matters >.>

[20:04:59] <Burke> ty
[20:05:01] <@OpheliaBlue> probably a different KVirc version
[20:05:14] <%Oreoboy1996> you must be using an old one
[20:05:24] <@OpheliaBlue> "alternatives" ?
[20:05:33] <%Oreoboy1996> not sure
[20:05:56] <%RareCola> It'd be under alerts and/or highlights
[20:05:59] <%RareCola> so just look for that
[20:06:08] <%RareCola> But hi Traumerei
[20:06:29] <@OpheliaBlue> it said there "KVirc will use an alternative if someone else on the irc network is already using it"
[20:06:35] <@OpheliaBlue> hi Traumerei
[20:06:49] <Traumerei> Hello Ophelia and Cola!
[20:06:50] <%RareCola> That's for your username settings
[20:06:50] <@OpheliaBlue> oh I suppose class should start now (6 min ago)
[20:06:57] <%RareCola> Haha yea probably
[20:07:03] <Evolventity> OpheliaBlue: Wasn't jerking your chain. It does ping me.
[20:07:09] <@OpheliaBlue> HAHA
[20:07:16] Evolventity was having a moment away from the computer.
[20:07:24] <@OpheliaBlue> how dare thee
[20:07:26] <%RareCola> Was you jerking?
[20:07:32] <%RareCola> waitwut
[20:07:34] <Evolventity> No lol
[20:07:46] <@OpheliaBlue> lol
[20:07:55] <Evolventity> i was gloating. xD
[20:08:02] <@OpheliaBlue> ok, a topic other than BYOB and RareCola's lucid diarrhea
[20:08:18] <%RareCola> How about how awesome fans are
[20:08:32] <%Oreoboy1996> fans?
[20:08:37] <@OpheliaBlue> white noise gods
[20:09:02] <%RareCola> Yep, I've been coming so closer to WILDing recently thanks to the white noise from my fan
[20:09:16] <@OpheliaBlue> really?
[20:09:19] <%RareCola> I think that could be the culprit of my dream diarrhea actually, I'm slipping back into dream states so easily
[20:09:44] <%RareCola> if only I could remember to DEILD more often :l
[20:09:44] <@OpheliaBlue> you know, ever since it got hot and I've needed the fan, it helps me sleep but my lucidity is whack
[20:10:04] <Traumerei> Just the sound of it can throw you off?
[20:10:07] <%Oreoboy1996> i haven't noticed a difference
[20:10:16] <%RareCola> Incorporate it into your DEILDs / WILDs
[20:10:28] <%RareCola> Did you ever post in Sageous' thread btw Ophelia?
[20:11:20] TylerRoberts [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[20:11:32] <TylerRoberts> I made it!!!
[20:11:36] <%Oreoboy1996> hello TylerRoberts
[20:11:37] <TylerRoberts> And not too late!!!
[20:11:41] <%RareCola> hey TylerRoberts
[20:12:15] <kraom> a lot less people here than yesterday
[20:12:27] <%RareCola> Yep quite small class today, that's fine though
[20:12:27] <TylerRoberts> Indeed, its alot quieter than I'm used to
[20:12:31] <@OpheliaBlue> RareCola: nooooo I haven't. Too much admin thread triage today
[20:12:41] <%RareCola> Haha
[20:12:55] <Burke> so... I vote the next TotY isn't "do something with unknown effects"
[20:12:58] <Burke> err, Tot M
[20:13:02] <@OpheliaBlue> you're a much better student than I Jason
[20:13:21] <%RareCola> hey Burke
[20:13:22] <@OpheliaBlue> awww you poor thing
[20:13:28] <Burke> hi RareCola
[20:13:36] <%RareCola> I'm interested to see what happens to me
[20:13:45] <%RareCola> if I manage to do this TOTM, that is
[20:13:48] <%Oreoboy1996> Burke: you could have given it your own effects
[20:13:49] <Burke> lol, didn't make me too upset though, since I had been having a fair amount lately
[20:13:57] <Burke> well I wanted a surprise
[20:13:58] <Traumerei> What does TotM stand for?
[20:13:59] <%Oreoboy1996> you could have said "this potion will give me super strength"
[20:14:02] <Burke> task of the month
[20:14:03] <kraom> task of the month
[20:14:13] <%RareCola> Isn't the task to see what the potion does?
[20:14:14] <%Oreoboy1996> you just said you didn't want it but now you
[20:14:14] <Burke> but it wouldn't be as fun that way
[20:14:15] <@OpheliaBlue> ok Burke, put your ideas in the lucid task club and I'll see what I can do
[20:14:16] Oreoboy1996 brain explodes
[20:14:17] <%RareCola> Not take a potion that does something
[20:14:22] <TylerRoberts> I took another step backwards. I tried WBTB, but just ignored my alarm that I set. Then proceeded to wake up with no recall of any of the dreams I had last night.
[20:14:47] <%RareCola> Protip: Throw the alarm out the window
[20:14:48] <Traumerei> I hide my alarms around my room so I have to get up to turn them off.
[20:14:48] <Burke> Oreoboy1996: I meant I wanted a surprise when I was in the dream, not when I was commenting about the TotM
[20:14:54] <kraom> I had pretty much the opposite of that, and had a lucid dream..
[20:14:59] <@OpheliaBlue> lamo Traumerei
[20:15:03] <@OpheliaBlue> effective
[20:15:21] <%Oreoboy1996> anyways, I finally finished writing about my dream where I did the advanced TOTM
[20:15:24] <@OpheliaBlue> oh cool, you had a lucid kraom?
[20:15:29] <kraom> yep
[20:15:35] <Burke> congrats
[20:15:36] <%RareCola> I'm completely against alarms these days, maybe the occasional usage to fix a sleep schedule.
[20:15:36] <kraom> i usually do every other morning.
[20:15:39] <kraom> thanks
[20:15:40] <TylerRoberts> I usually keep my alarm on the other side of the room, but since i am away from home at the moment, I used my phone.
[20:15:47] <TylerRoberts> Which was at my side the entire time.

[20:15:58] <Mindraker> Hi guys
[20:16:01] <%Oreoboy1996> hello Mindraker
[20:16:03] <kraom> hi
[20:16:04] <%RareCola> Hey Mindraker
[20:16:07] <Traumerei> Yo.
[20:16:09] <@OpheliaBlue> hey Mindraker!
[20:16:18] <Burke> hola minr
[20:16:19] <@OpheliaBlue> kraom: have you started a workbook yet?
[20:16:23] <Burke> mindraker*
[20:16:25] <Mindraker> Hello all
[20:16:27] <kraom> yea.
[20:16:29] <kraom> i have
[20:16:47] <@OpheliaBlue> OH it's under ADJ, my bad
[20:16:52] <@OpheliaBlue> I was looking for Kraom
[20:17:01] <kraom> although i realized i cant change the original post after like 1440 minutes or something so the way i was doing it wont work
[20:17:12] <kraom> so ill have to update it when i have new goals or finish things
[20:17:16] <%RareCola> Haha I had the same problem kraom
[20:17:17] <kraom> and yea.. its under ADJ
[20:17:17] <%RareCola> sucks
[20:17:25] <TylerRoberts> Me too!!!
[20:17:29] <@OpheliaBlue> I can change it.. what did you want changed, just the title?
[20:17:40] <TylerRoberts> I tried to take paigeyemps format...
[20:17:42] <kraom> oh that would be good if you changed it to
[20:17:51] <kraom> to Kraom's workbook
[20:17:54] <%RareCola> Well people try to format it with their dream signs and stuff in the main post
[20:17:56] <@OpheliaBlue> you too TylerRoberts and RareCola?
[20:18:02] <%RareCola> but you can't go back and add any more dream signs after 1440 minutes
[20:18:06] <%RareCola> because it locks you out of editing the post
[20:18:09] <%RareCola> for normal users at least
[20:18:22] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah ANYtime you want me to adjust something like that in your main post, just PM it to me, as long as it isn't completely deleting the thing
[20:18:28] <@OpheliaBlue> that's a no-no from Alex

[20:18:46] <%Oreoboy1996> hello Marciano999
[20:18:56] <@OpheliaBlue> but yeah I'll add dream signs, change the title to match a namechange, etc
[20:19:05] <@OpheliaBlue> hi Marciano999
[20:19:09] <kraom> good to know
[20:19:32] <%RareCola> In fact you could probably PM Ophelia, me, Caenis or Paigeyemps to do that stuff
[20:19:35] <%RareCola> I think we all have the power now
[20:19:45] theCambino [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[20:19:50] <@OpheliaBlue> oh yeah, duh
[20:19:51] <%Oreoboy1996> hello theCambino
[20:19:56] <kraom> oh i was talking to caenis in my workbook today.
[20:19:57] <theCambino> about facking time
[20:20:02] <theCambino> IRC is a pos
[20:20:22] <%RareCola> Haha
[20:20:22] <theCambino> hmm
[20:20:37] <theCambino> so what are we talking about?
[20:20:56] <%RareCola> Pretty much everything right now
[20:21:04] <Marciano999> Hello!!!
[20:21:06] <%RareCola> Feel free to come up with a topic
[20:21:16] <theCambino> why is there so much lagggg
[20:21:21] <@OpheliaBlue> so what about white noise and its effects on sleep and LDs
[20:21:30] <Traumerei> Lucid diarrhea?
[20:21:31] <@OpheliaBlue> it helps me sleep, might be bad for my lds
[20:21:33] <theCambino> my connection with irc sucks!
[20:21:49] <kraom> i personally like it to be quiet while im trying to go to sleep.
[20:21:50] <theCambino> so I'll try asking again...
[20:22:00] <kraom> although noise wont wake me easily after im asleep
[20:22:09] <Mindraker> I can vouch for that; I use roaring fans in my apartment and it blocks out my goofy neighbor's annoying noises. It helps me sleep.
[20:22:16] <theCambino> has anyone had the digital clock RC fail?
[20:22:26] <kraom> never tried the digital clock RC
[20:22:34] <%RareCola> Yep, failed for me before
[20:22:47] <theCambino> RareCola: really?
[20:22:48] <kraom> seems unreliable so I use alternatives
[20:23:12] <%RareCola> Yep, I had a false awakening, checked the clock and it told the time well enough for me to believe it
[20:23:23] <%RareCola> only failed that once though
[20:23:36] <Marciano999> I have a question about the Rem stage... for example if i sleep for 5 or 6 hours, then stay up for a little while then sleep again, Rem stage will be longer, but after how many hours of awake time will be reset the Rem stage, and start shorter again?
[20:23:37] <Mindraker> My digital clock projects on the ceiling, but it's been dropped so many times that it is partially broken -- the readout is "screwy".
[20:23:46] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah, if your RCs are related to things around you when you wake up irl, it could trick you
[20:24:04] <@OpheliaBlue> that's when awareness comes in
[20:24:15] <%RareCola> Marciano999: I wouldn't stay up for any more than 1hr30m - 2hrs
[20:24:20] <%RareCola> during the WBTB
[20:24:25] <kraom> ive never actually became lucid off of a reality check.
[20:24:31] <kraom> become*
[20:24:32] <Marciano999> Ok but what happen for the Nap?
[20:24:44] <Marciano999> when you sleep again about 5 hours later?
[20:25:05] <Marciano999> Is one of the best time for lucid dreaminbg during the Nap time
[20:25:11] <%RareCola> Assuming you've been awake long enough to tire you out enough to nap, you instantly go into REM
[20:25:16] <%RareCola> that's why naps are effective for WILDs
[20:25:32] <%RareCola> kraom: I have, but only during false awakenings
[20:25:40] <Mindraker> Reality checks are more effective if the dream is already more unbelievable. If the dream is *real*, or represents everyday life, then there isn't much making me want to do an RC in the first place.
[20:25:45] theCambino [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Ping timeout: 90 seconds
[20:25:47] <kraom> yea that makes sense ive never had a false awakening
[20:26:13] <kraom> alright thats not true i had one, but i instantly came out of that
[20:26:15] <Mindraker> For instance, I had a dream where a blue head with wings just flew by -- very easy to make me realize, "I'm in a dream."
[20:26:23] <@OpheliaBlue> lmao Mindraker
[20:26:37] <@OpheliaBlue> also, kraom, title's fixed
[20:26:40] theCambino [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[20:26:44] <kraom> oh ok thank you
[20:26:47] <@OpheliaBlue> wb poor theCambino
[20:26:57] <kraom> lately ive been passively knowing that im dreaming
[20:27:03] <Mindraker> But if I'm in a dream where I'm in an everyday environment, I'm not going to have any reason to believe that I'm in a dream.
[20:27:10] <Mindraker> Or even question that I'm in a dream.
[20:27:10] <%RareCola> I've been doing the same, kraom
[20:27:33] <kraom> for instance this morning i saw some blond girl and just was like. where am i? oh a dream.
[20:27:51] <Traumerei> If I've been thinking more than I usually do in my dreams, does it mean I'm improving slightly?
[20:27:59] <%RareCola> Most of the time I haven't even been questioning it.. I'm just taking part in the dream when all of a sudden I'm just like "Oh this is a dream"
[20:28:05] <Mindraker> LOL kraom :forever alone:
[20:28:10] <kraom> hahaha
[20:28:14] <kraom> D:
[20:28:30] <%RareCola> Of course, Traumerei
[20:28:54] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah your awareness is increasing
[20:28:57] <%RareCola> It's good you're noticing that. When you start lucid training it mostly always begins by improving the detail of your non-lucids
[20:29:12] <%RareCola> And the more you notice the tiny steps like that, the more motivated you'll be
[20:29:22] <Mindraker> It's weird the details you'll notice in everyday life, too.
[20:29:34] <kraom> yea like with ADA
[20:29:39] theCambino [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Ping timeout: 90 seconds
[20:29:45] <Mindraker> Yeah, and you're not even intentionally doing it.

[20:30:13] <Traumerei> That's encouraging to hear.
[20:30:23] <kraom> well i still take intentional periods of time for ADA
[20:30:39] <kraom> not to the point where i passively do it.

[20:31:39] <theCambino^> can this work PLEASE!
[20:31:45] <theCambino^> X(
[20:31:57] <%RareCola> You're doing SAT then, kraom
[20:32:01] <@OpheliaBlue> so sorry man, I had similar issues the other night
[20:32:08] <theCambino^> OpheliaBlue: it sucks!
[20:32:14] <theCambino^> it like freezes
[20:32:35] <theCambino^> I closed #DV to see if that helps... but ugh
[20:33:04] <kraom> could be your home connection to the internet maybe someone is downloading something
[20:33:10] <theCambino^> no
[20:33:16] <Mindraker> Are you guys connecting from the web page or from an IRC client program?
[20:33:23] <theCambino^> IRC
[20:33:25] <kraom> i just am using the webpage
[20:33:29] <kraom> works fine
[20:33:46] <theCambino^> client connection keeps dropping
[20:33:53] <Mindraker> Ah, I'm using the web page and haven't had serious problems, except my ISP will occasionally disconnect me at 9:05 PM
[20:33:59] <theCambino^> so far... it's working better since I closed #DV
[20:34:15] <Mindraker> It's a problem on my end
[20:34:28] <theCambino^> 0_o
[20:34:33] <theCambino^> Mindraker: whatta ya mean?
[20:34:51] <Mindraker> My ISP resets its server or something once a week
[20:34:56] <theCambino^> oh
[20:35:03] <@OpheliaBlue> oh interesting
[20:35:04] <theCambino^> so back to my question...
[20:35:04] <Mindraker> DNS
[20:35:13] <%Oreoboy1996> i think i'll go back to my dj and try to keep up with the chat at the same time
[20:35:17] <theCambino^> all RCs are inevitable to fail
[20:35:22] <theCambino^> or most
[20:35:24] <@OpheliaBlue> ok Oreoboy1996
[20:35:28] <theCambino^> ...coreect?
[20:35:32] <theCambino^> correct*
[20:35:33] <@OpheliaBlue> theCambino^: yes
[20:35:42] <%Oreoboy1996> theCambino: my energy rc has never failed me
[20:35:45] <theCambino^> alright good to know
[20:35:53] <kraom> well if you think they can fail then they probably will at some point.
[20:35:59] <@OpheliaBlue> which is why it's muy importante to improve your awareness level in general
[20:36:03] <theCambino^> it's more on a personal preference... or personal belief
[20:36:03] <Mindraker> Well, if you have more than one check, and if you don't do them halfheartedly, and if they are personalized to your life and environment, then they'll be less prone to failure.
[20:36:11] <Burke|BRB> !back
[20:36:12] Burke|BRB [[email protected]] is now known as Burke
[20:36:16] <@OpheliaBlue> hey Burke
[20:36:19] <Burke> hi
[20:36:32] <theCambino^> yes!... so far chat is flowing correctly...
[20:36:46] <%Oreoboy1996> i have a few reality checks, but i only ever have to use the one
[20:36:46] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah what Mindraker said is true too.. because again, doing an RC half-heartedly means you're not being aware enough as you do them
[20:36:49] <kraom> it was all #dv's fault!
[20:36:53] <theCambino^> too many channels might of been the cause for IRC Client to drop me
[20:37:09] <theCambino^> kraom: that's what I was thinking
[20:37:18] <theCambino^> anyway...back on topic
[20:37:47] <@OpheliaBlue> what are your current RCs by the way theCambino^?
[20:38:00] <theCambino^> plugged nose... ofc
[20:38:07] <theCambino^> from my DJ
[20:38:20] <theCambino^> ...fingers through the palm
[20:38:20] <Mindraker> For example, it's one thing to just "jab your hand with your fingers" as you blunder through life; it's another thing to take the time to see something strange, stop, wonder what happened, look at your hand, look at your fingers, and pause while you examine your fingers poking your palm of your hand.
[20:38:38] <theCambino^> Mindraker: true
[20:38:47] <theCambino^> what does iBot want with me?
[20:38:59] <kraom> it just wants you in general
[20:39:04] <%Oreoboy1996> I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to start working on that tutorial
[20:39:36] <kraom> but anyway i'd much rather just use awareness rather than relying on a RC

[20:39:47] <theCambino^> ok nvm
[20:39:57] <kraom> what did you think
[20:40:01] <Mindraker> True kraom
[20:40:19] <Traumerei> Has anyone here actually done a RC in their dream out of habit, then become lucid that way?
[20:40:23] <theCambino^> I only use RCs as an affirmation
[20:40:33] <theCambino^> or to confirm
[20:40:38] <%Oreoboy1996> i probably have a few times Traumerei, but i can't think of a moment off the top of my head
[20:40:46] <theCambino^> Traumerei: some what
[20:40:48] <kraom> i have not.
[20:40:52] <@OpheliaBlue> Traumerei: no, I usually do a RC after I have become lucid. Just to kinda stabilize hehe
[20:41:02] <Mindraker> I have had a RC pull back a memory of a dream

[20:41:16] <kraom> wait wait actually one time a long time ago when i first learned i did finger through the palm at the suspect of dreaming and became fully lucid
[20:41:20] <%Oreoboy1996> reality checks are typically used when you become suspicious or something
[20:41:25] <theCambino^> Traumerei: read my dj
[20:41:28] <@OpheliaBlue> I usually become lucid because of a dream sign (as a DILD), or I do a form of WILD
[20:41:43] <%Oreoboy1996> you'll see something weird and be like "that's odd, I should do a reality check"
[20:41:58] <%Oreoboy1996> "omgomgomg i'm dreaming!"
[20:41:59] <theCambino^> Traumerei: because I do a nose plug RC daily... it was easier to come to mind to do the RC in my dream
[20:42:15] <theCambino^> Oreoboy1996: 0_o
[20:42:19] <Traumerei> Lucky break there in your DJ, Cambino.

[20:47:31] <@OpheliaBlue> hahaa
[20:47:46] <@OpheliaBlue> I figured even grilling on average would be a bit trim in the UK as well
[20:48:16] <%Oreoboy1996> all of the americans are probably going to be too busy for class >.>
[20:48:22] <@OpheliaBlue> well theCambino^, after we analyze all the data from the poll, a wednesday class could very well be in yourfuture

[20:48:53] Evolventity [[email protected]] is now known as Evolventity|Away
[20:48:53] <kraom> i could still probably attend a class tomorrow if it happened with an irc client on my phone
[20:49:11] theCambino^ [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Ping timeout: 90 seconds
[20:49:12] <TylerRoberts> Also, sorry for my silence this chat, as I said, I am away from home which means alot of visiting with faces I dont see often
[20:49:27] <Mindraker> LOL, I remember being in Europe (as an American) celebrating July 4th. There was only 1 other American couple we knew. We knocked on their door at 8 PM and when they opened the door, we yelled "HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!"
[20:49:33] <DaveTheJoker> well thats more important, TylerRoberts
[20:49:42] <@OpheliaBlue> lol Mindraker
[20:49:46] <%RareCola> haha Mindraker
[20:49:48] <%RareCola> amazing
[20:50:42] <TylerRoberts> Man... Im really tired....
[20:50:50] <TylerRoberts> I think im going to go to sleep early guys...
[20:50:54] <Mindraker> TylerRoberts: Obligatory family visits.
[20:50:58] <TylerRoberts> Yup
[20:51:11] <TylerRoberts> I dont really like "reunions"
[20:51:18] <TylerRoberts> They are so... bleh...
[20:51:22] <DaveTheJoker> well
[20:51:27] <DaveTheJoker> depends on the family
[20:51:33] <Mindraker> Awww TylerRoberts has to look good for his grandmummy.
[20:51:45] <kraom> lol mindraker
[20:52:00] <TylerRoberts> Haha, Not quite Mindraker, I just need to participate in small talk...
[20:52:26] <@OpheliaBlue> ugggh, sorry I haven't been so active in here... our child population doubles for the summer
[20:52:26] <Mindraker> Family reunions: Everyone is 1 year older, fatter, greyer...
[20:52:51] <Traumerei> "How old are you again" "What do you wanna be when you grow up" is all I get asked when talking to relatives..
[20:52:52] <@OpheliaBlue> haha
[20:52:58] <Mindraker> Why don't we realize that we can accomplish the same thing on facebook now?
[20:53:10] <DaveTheJoker> its not the same thing
[20:53:12] <TylerRoberts> Although, I think I am going to hop off IRC and head to bed. Time for me to attempt some WBTB MILD. I also think I will attempt DEILD if I can remember it.
[20:53:26] <Mindraker> Yeah it's time for me to start closing up, too.
[20:53:27] <Traumerei> Good luck bro.
[20:53:28] <@OpheliaBlue> ood luck TylerRoberts!
[20:53:33] <Mindraker> Have fun at the family reunion!
[20:53:42] <kraom> i was going to do a DEILD this morning.. but I wrote down my lucid dream instead..
[20:53:44] <Mindraker> Don't eat too much of grandmummy's chocolate cake!
[20:53:46] <%RareCola> Good luck TylerRoberts
[20:53:48] <kraom> figuring that was more important
[20:53:53] TylerRoberts [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Quit: KVIrc 4.2.0 Equilibrium KVIrc.net - The Visual IRC Client
[20:54:04] <Mindraker> ha ha ha poor guy
[20:54:05] <DaveTheJoker> My RCs really are sucking like a leach
[20:54:18] <Mindraker> OK see you around, everyone. Sleep tight.
[20:54:25] <DaveTheJoker> bye Mindraker
[20:54:27] <kraom> see ya
[20:54:30] <Traumerei> Good night Rake.
[20:54:45] Mindraker hugs (man hugs) everyone.
[20:54:50] Mindraker [[email protected]] has left #DVA: ""
[20:56:19] <Traumerei> I've got to go too, nice talking with you all!
[20:56:25] <kraom> bye
[20:56:33] <%Oreoboy1996> bye
[20:56:41] Traumerei [[email protected]] has left #DVA: ""
[20:57:53] <DaveTheJoker> Oreoboy1996: what RC do you use?
[20:57:56] <kraom> so oreoboy earlier you were talking about dream dilation. how many times have you done it?
[20:58:13] <@OpheliaBlue> DaveTheJoker: we were just talking earlier, that RCs aren't as important as general awareness
[20:58:14] <%Oreoboy1996> i have a special reality check where i can simply feel whether i'm dreaming or not
[20:58:19] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah
[20:58:29] <kraom> thats basically what i do too..
[20:58:31] <@OpheliaBlue> I know alot of us are in that boat basically
[20:58:35] <DaveTheJoker> OpheliaBlue: I would have had a DILD last night if my RC had worked...
[20:58:45] <kraom> gotta build up awareness
[20:58:45] <@OpheliaBlue> DaveTheJoker: how do you mean?
[20:58:47] <%Oreoboy1996> there's just a weird feeling i get while in a dream that i never get in real life
[20:58:52] <@OpheliaBlue> amen ^^
[20:58:56] <kraom> same here.
[20:59:09] <%Oreoboy1996> kraom: i've done time dilation many times, but only several have been on purpose
[20:59:10] <DaveTheJoker> I said "hey, I must be dreaming, I don't normally see naked women walking around "
[20:59:23] <@OpheliaBlue> DaveTheJoker: if the RC isn't working in your dream, then you're not aware enough in real life when you do them
[20:59:25] <kraom> so youve done it not on purpose by incubation?
[20:59:26] <DaveTheJoker> I repeatedly tried to jam my finger through my palm
[20:59:32] <DaveTheJoker> but it didnt work
[20:59:45] <%Oreoboy1996> well the thing with dream incubation is actually on purpose
[20:59:49] <DaveTheJoker> I have got to stop doing that one
[20:59:56] <%Oreoboy1996> sometimes time dilation happens without even trying it though
[21:00:03] <kraom> hmm
[21:00:11] <%Oreoboy1996> like once i had a dream that felt like 15 years before i even knew about time dilation
[21:00:18] <DaveTheJoker> Is there no foolproof RC that ALWAYS works?
[21:00:22] <kraom> no
[21:00:34] <DaveTheJoker> damn
[21:00:36] <kraom> really its based off your belief i guess,,
[21:00:37] <Exotiraan^> DaveTheJoker: You find your own.
[21:00:44] <%Oreoboy1996> my reality check where i check how it feels to be in a dream has never failed me
[21:00:48] theCambino^ [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[21:00:51] <DaveTheJoker> Exotiraan^: I'm not lucid enough
[21:00:52] <theCambino^> what a joke
[21:00:53] <@OpheliaBlue> wb buddy
[21:00:53] <%Oreoboy1996> though i suppose it's possible with a trick of the mind
[21:00:58] <kraom> yea same here but mines not really a reality check
[21:01:13] <kraom> its just like well this is a dream.
[21:01:14] <theCambino^> connection remote lost.... client connection lost...
[21:01:27] <kraom> did #dv get to you again
[21:01:29] <theCambino^> 15minutes of signing in nonstop >X(
[21:01:33] Exotiraan^ always does a hand-check because, when he's dreaming, it fails 95% of the time fro him.
[21:01:37] Evolventity|Away [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Quit: http://goo.gl/XJV5y
[21:01:41] <theCambino^> it's not #DV
[21:01:42] <DaveTheJoker> Exotiraan^: me too man
[21:01:54] <DaveTheJoker> wait
[21:01:56] <theCambino^> it's just the client connection with IRC is a piece of shit
[21:01:57] <kraom> try using the nose plug R
[21:01:59] <DaveTheJoker> I mean it does NOT fail
[21:01:59] <theCambino^> anyway
[21:01:59] <kraom> RC*
[21:02:09] <DaveTheJoker> I will try the nose plug
[21:02:14] <%RareCola> Hand checks and nose plugging are definitely my most reliable RCs
[21:02:21] Oreoboy1996 sneaks back to his dj
[21:02:23] <DaveTheJoker> and the finger count one has worked for me
[21:02:25] <DaveTheJoker> I should do that one
[21:02:34] <theCambino^> RareCola: do you do palm checks irl?
[21:02:49] <%RareCola> Occasionally, only when I think something's weird
[21:02:53] <theCambino^> right
[21:03:04] <DaveTheJoker> me too
[21:03:10] <kraom> alright guess well i have to clean out my car for this camping trip. so ill see ya later.
[21:03:13] <kraom> guys*
[21:03:18] <DaveTheJoker> but the finger palm one is a joke
[21:03:18] <theCambino^> sadly there isn't much that happens that is weird

[01:53] Oreoboy1996|Away is now known as Oreoboy1996.
[01:54] opheliablue: wb man
[01:54] Oreoboy1996: thanks
[01:54] opheliablue: I'm still waiting
[01:54] opheliablue: s
[01:55] opheliablue: might be a bit late but I'm on my phone at least
[01:55] Oreoboy1996: the topic is opening your dream eyes?
[01:55] Oreoboy1996: interesting
[01:56] theCambino: something I'm not familiar with...?
[01:56] • theCambino shrugs
[01:56] opheliablue: yeah you know when you realize in an FA that you are lucid, but
[01:56] theCambino: I am still willing
[01:57] theCambino: ...I wake up eyes closed
[01:57] theCambino: or try to
[01:57] opheliablue: sometimes are ambivalent to open you eyes in the dream, for fear of waking up for real?
[01:57] theCambino: that'd make sense
[01:57] Oreoboy1996: i don't have false awakenings often but i understand
[01:58] Oreoboy1996: actually i think the one dream i was lucid but blind is similar
[01:59] opheliablue: not always sure what to make the topic, so I draw from my own lucid experiences
[01:59] theCambino: understandable
[01:59] opheliablue: how was it similar oreo?
[01:59] Oreoboy1996: i have a trick or two for solving the blindness problem in dreams, but i always forget to use them
[02:00] Oreoboy1996: well i figured being blind and not opening your eyes were similar enough
[02:00] opheliablue: just say fuck it and open them?
[02:00] Marciano999 left the chat room. (Quit: )
[02:00] Oreoboy1996: that's one way to do it
[02:00] Marciano999 joined the chat room.
[02:01] theCambino: party in the class time!
[02:02] Oreoboy1996: i do remember when I did my first WILD my dream eyes were closed when i was already in a dream
[02:02] Oreoboy1996: i could feel that i was in a dream though and was confident about it
[02:02] Oreoboy1996: so opening my eyes wasn't a problem to me at the time

[02:07] OpheliaBlue|Away: !back
[02:07] OpheliaBlue|Away is now known as OpheliaBlue.
[02:07] theCambino: wb OpheliaBlue
[02:07] Oreoboy1996: welcome back
[02:07] OpheliaBlue: sorry my phone pooped out
[02:07] OpheliaBlue: hey guys
[02:07] DaveTheJoker: UNDERWAY
[02:07] theCambino: ...
[02:07] Oreoboy1996: DaveTheJoker : it's 9:07 actually
[02:07] theCambino: lol
[02:07] OpheliaBlue: 8:07 here
[02:08] DaveTheJoker: no OpheliaBlue
[02:08] DaveTheJoker: it is 9:07
[02:09] OpheliaBlue: don't argue with me
[02:09] OpheliaBlue: ok reading up
[02:09] OpheliaBlue: so Oreoboy1996, obviously confidence when you know you're in a dream is important
[02:10] OpheliaBlue: it helps you to overcome certain obstacles, like opening your eyes, or moving out of your bed, if the LD starts there
[02:10] Oreoboy1996: yeah but there was one problem in that dream
[02:10] OpheliaBlue: what
[02:10] Oreoboy1996: i was afraid of moving around -_-
[02:10] OpheliaBlue: afraid because of what was in the dream with you? or you were afraid it would wake you up?
[02:10] Oreoboy1996: now that i think of it, in that false awakening i had i was also worried about that
[02:10] Oreoboy1996: i was afraid i would hurt myself in real life actually
[02:11] Oreoboy1996: i forgot to have faith in sleep paralysis lol
[02:11] OpheliaBlue: oh wow really? why?
[02:11] Oreoboy1996: well the first time i was in a car, so i was worried i would unbuckle my seatbelt or something
[02:11] Oreoboy1996: the false awakening i was in bed and worried i would roll off
[02:11] RareCola: I am here -- sorry for being late
[02:11] Oreoboy1996: hello RareCola
[02:12] RareCola: what are we talking 'bout then
[02:12] Oreoboy1996: i've learned from my mistakes though and i'm sure if it happens again i'll remember them
[02:12] OpheliaBlue: hey RareCola!
[02:12] RareCola: Lisa<3
[02:12] OpheliaBlue: oh BALLS!
[02:13] OpheliaBlue: I didn't do the PM
[02:13] RareCola: haha

[02:13] OpheliaBlue: hold a sec, I'll go later if necessary
[02:13] DaveTheJoker: what was dinner?
[02:14] theCambino: back from dinner
[02:14] theCambino: now I can type

[02:14] theCambino: oooh

[02:15] DaveTheJoker: lordy
[02:15] DaveTheJoker: sorry
[02:15] theCambino: it's alright
[02:15] RareCola: How's your dreams been going DaveTheJoker?
[02:15] RareCola: Did you fix your issues?
[02:15] theCambino: been waiting to utilize my time in class today since last time my connection was bad
[02:16] OpheliaBlue: oh dome
[02:16] theCambino: sooo
[02:16] DaveTheJoker: RareCola : no its been worse, unforchunately
[02:16] OpheliaBlue: done*
[02:17] RareCola: Ah :/
[02:17] OpheliaBlue: so what's most on your mind then theCambino?
[02:17] DaveTheJoker: I HATE having no recal
[02:17] DaveTheJoker: I HATE it
[02:17] DaveTheJoker: HATE
[02:17] DaveTheJoker: its like why sleep at all
[02:17] theCambino: yeah I feel you on that
[02:18] RareCola: Why do you think that is, DaveTheJoker?
[02:18] Oreoboy1996: don't get worked up over it DaveTheJoker
[02:18] Oreoboy1996: that only makes it worse
[02:18] Oreoboy1996: you need to be more relaxed and patient about it
[02:18] theCambino: think of it like a dry spell
[02:18] DaveTheJoker: RareCola : I dont know
[02:18] theCambino: recall comes and sometimes goes for a bit
[02:18] DaveTheJoker: I feel like I am missing something big
[02:18] RareCola: Describe your sleep schedule to me. Do you go to bed/wake up the same time every day? Mantras? What do you do before bed?
[02:19] Oreoboy1996: what do you normally do to remember dreams?
[02:19] syth406: Have you guys tried writing down waking life too to try to improve memory?
[02:19] DaveTheJoker: IDK I just remember them
[02:19] theCambino: DaveTheJoker: you gotta work on your sleep sched
[02:19] theCambino: remember!
[02:19] Oreoboy1996: syth406 : i haven't because i personally find that too much trouble
[02:19] Oreoboy1996: but other people have
[02:19] DaveTheJoker: I remember them in the morning and write them down
[02:19] DaveTheJoker: I awoke intro SP again
[02:19] theCambino: I agree with Oreoboy1996
[02:20] kraom joined the chat room.
[02:20] theCambino: in his answer toward syth406
[02:20] Oreoboy1996: hello kraom
[02:20] DaveTheJoker: but again it was in my LAST sleep cycle so I had to get up
[02:20] theCambino: welcome kraom
[02:20] RareCola: That's where your problem is. You're expecting the recall to happen in the morning, the best time to induce better recall is before bed.
[02:20] Oreoboy1996: DaveTheJoker : you should try recalling in the middle of the night
[02:20] kraom: hi
[02:20] syth406: I find it sorts therapeutic.
[02:20] DaveTheJoker: Oreoboy1996 : you dream in the middle of the night?
[02:20] theCambino: use a mantra before bed
[02:20] theCambino: I will remember my dreams
[02:20] Oreoboy1996: each time you wake up in the middle of the night, try to recall your dreams and then write a few key words in a notebook to help you remember in the morning
[02:20] DaveTheJoker: I DO use a mantra before bed
[02:21] RareCola: That's a horrific mantra, theCambino
[02:21] Oreoboy1996: wtf, of course i dream in the middle of the night
[02:21] DaveTheJoker: I dont wake up in the middle of the night
[02:21] Oreoboy1996: how is that horrific?
[02:21] RareCola: That's also your problem, DaveTheJoker
[02:21] theCambino: RareCola: ughhh it's an example
[02:21] DaveTheJoker: ?
[02:21] Oreoboy1996: DaveTheJoker : set an alarm if you must
[02:21] RareCola: Oreoboy1996: It's a future mantra and it lacks meaning
[02:21] DaveTheJoker: I am just a world of problems
[02:21] syth406: Mantras work better in present tense
[02:21] OpheliaBlue: hey kraom
[02:21] DaveTheJoker: in the middle of the night?
[02:21] theCambino: oh cola...
[02:21] theCambino: yes syth406
[02:21] DaveTheJoker: I dont even dream then
[02:21] Oreoboy1996: RareCola : i don't believe the tense of the mantra matters at all
[02:21] theCambino: "I remember dreams"
[02:22] kraom: hi ophelia
[02:22] Oreoboy1996: what your intentions are is important
[02:22] RareCola: DaveTheJoker: Of course you do. Your first dream starts about 2 hours after going to bed.
[02:22] OpheliaBlue: saying "I'm a world of problems" is negative self talk, and it's a set up for failure
[02:22] OpheliaBlue: ./ Dr. Phil
[02:22] theCambino: I think it starts first with DaveTheJoker's sleep sched
[02:22] DaveTheJoker: No
[02:22] Oreoboy1996: DaveTheJoker : you dream in the middle of the night, you just don't seem to remember
[02:22] OpheliaBlue: ^^
[02:22] theCambino: not to attack you DaveTheJoker .... but we spoke about you going to sleep sooner and having a sched sleep cycle
[02:23] DaveTheJoker: I dont think its my sleep cycle beacuse I can wake up as late as I want
[02:23] RareCola: I think DaveTheJoker is just doing everything backwards, you need to completely rethink how you look at lucid dreaming and recall
[02:23] DaveTheJoker: so I get about the same length of sleep every night
[02:23] OpheliaBlue: DaveTheJoker: good point
[02:23] OpheliaBlue: however
[02:23] OpheliaBlue: I noticed I can have the same hours of sleep, BUT
[02:23] OpheliaBlue: if I sleep later and wake up later,
[02:23] RareCola: You need to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
[02:23] OpheliaBlue: there's more sunlight coming throught the windows when I should be WBTBing
[02:23] theCambino: thank you RareCola !
[02:24] theCambino: that is what I am saying!
[02:24] DaveTheJoker: I pretty much do
[02:24] DaveTheJoker: within 1-2 hours
[02:24] OpheliaBlue: the point is, that's when your body starts producing melatonin, and it wakes you up too much
[02:24] RareCola: It should be no more than 30 minutes
[02:24] RareCola: Honestly, I don't believe that, OpheliaBlue
[02:24] theCambino: a sleep schedule is pretty helpful in everything luciddreaming.... dreaming period
[02:24] DaveTheJoker: well I have shades in my room
[02:24] RareCola: My sleep schedule at the moment usually revolves around me waking up at 11am... no issues with recall or lucidity for me
[02:25] DaveTheJoker: RareCola : I wake up around the same time
[02:25] theCambino: DaveTheJoker: your body sense when the room is just slightly a little brighter or darker
[02:25] Oreoboy1996: i wouldn't know because i sleep under my blanket once the light comes out
[02:25] DaveTheJoker: when do you go to bed?
[02:25] RareCola: Me? Usually 3-4am
[02:25] theCambino: Oreoboy1996: I wish I could do that but I feel like sufficating myself
[02:25] DaveTheJoker: RareCola : that must be it
[02:25] DaveTheJoker: I am getting too MUCH sleep
[02:26] theCambino: 8 hrs is recommended
[02:26] RareCola: Too much sleep can also be bad, you sleep beyond the end of your dream and forget it before you even wake up
[02:26] theCambino: any more CAN be bad
[02:26] DaveTheJoker: RareCola : maybe that is it
[02:26] DaveTheJoker: because I go to bed around 2
[02:26] DaveTheJoker: and often wake up at noon
[02:26] RareCola: How old are you?
[02:26] theCambino: yeah 10 hrs is a lot
[02:26] DaveTheJoker: RareCola : 17
[02:27] RareCola: yea, I'd say 10 hours is a bit much
[02:27] theCambino: yeah 8 hrs is more than plenty
[02:27] OpheliaBlue left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 90 seconds)
[02:27] DaveTheJoker: ok I will set my alarm for 6am
[02:27] Oreoboy1996: well, teenagers require 9 hours of sleep

[02:27] OpheliaBlue: balls
[02:27] theCambino: oh nvm
[02:27] Oreoboy1996: 1 more hour doesn't hurt i'm sure
[02:27] RareCola: Do you do a WBTB DaveTheJoker?
[02:27] Marciano999: after how many hours of sleep will i stop dreaming? and/or how many cycles max one person can i get in one night of sleep?
[02:27] DaveTheJoker: RareCola : with an alarm?
[02:27] RareCola: It's better without an alarm for recall
[02:27] DaveTheJoker: well if I have to piss or something
[02:28] DaveTheJoker: I do
[02:28] DaveTheJoker: lol
[02:28] theCambino: drink a lot of water
[02:28] Oreoboy1996: i'm not sure Marciano999
[02:28] theCambino: water also helps the brain
[02:28] DaveTheJoker: but usually no
[02:28] theCambino: in memory
[02:28] Oreoboy1996: from my experience it's when i can't sleep anymore that i stop dreaming
[02:28] DaveTheJoker: I drink a ton of water
[02:28] DaveTheJoker: well I used to
[02:28] RareCola: I think in general you just need to take it a bit more seriously if you want to improve, DaveTheJoker
[02:28] theCambino: good
[02:28] syth406: A great way to reset your sleep schedule is to eat your breakfast in the sun.
[02:28] DaveTheJoker: I am takin it seriously
[02:28] Marciano999: i see
[02:28] theCambino: you think you drink a lot of water... drink more
[02:28] DaveTheJoker: I am doing a MILD that keeps me from falling asleep...
[02:28] DaveTheJoker: for 15 mintures
[02:29] DaveTheJoker: and I started reading before bed
[02:29] theCambino: maybe you're stressing too much over recall?
[02:29] DaveTheJoker: but it made it worse...
[02:29] DaveTheJoker: I think RareCola is right
[02:29] DaveTheJoker: I am getting too much sleep
[02:29] theCambino: I know RareCola is right
[02:29] DaveTheJoker: I am waking up too late
[02:29] OpheliaBlue: syth406: that's interesting
[02:29] RareCola: Well. Change your sleep schedule to 8 hours, practice waking up multiple times throughout the night. Do a WBTB every night (around 4-6 hours after initially going to sleep, and preferably without an alarm if you can train yourself)
[02:30] theCambino: ...and try to fall asleep at the same scheduled time
[02:30] OpheliaBlue: syth406: for getting your biological clock working regularly?
[02:30] DaveTheJoker: So tomorrow I will get up rediculously early
[02:30] DaveTheJoker: and then I will go to bed early
[02:30] DaveTheJoker: and then I should wake up ealier than normal
[02:30] RareCola: Forcing a change in sleep schedule won't work either, you need to be more subtle about it for it to stick
[02:30] syth406: Yes
[02:30] theCambino: if you sleep say midnight everynight and get sufficient 8 hours... and then say sleep in on saturday... you're fucking up your sleep cycle
[02:31] theCambino: saturday you get... say 10 hours
[02:31] RareCola: Change your sleep schedule over the course of 7 days, waking up and going to bed a bit earlier each day.
[02:31] DaveTheJoker: !brb water
[02:31] DaveTheJoker is now known as DaveTheJoker|BRB.
[02:31] DaveTheJoker|BRB: I cnat
[02:31] theCambino: that messed with your biological clock
[02:31] syth406: Yeah
[02:31] theCambino: why can't you?
[02:31] Topic changed to "Settling on a Regular Sleep Schedule" by OpheliaBlue.
[02:31] theCambino: lol
[02:32] DaveTheJoker|BRB: well I cant controll when I go to bed
[02:32] DaveTheJoker|BRB: !back
[02:32] DaveTheJoker|BRB is now known as DaveTheJoker.
[02:32] DaveTheJoker: when I fall asleep that is
[02:32] RareCola: You can, with practice
[02:32] RareCola: and a good diet before sleep helps
[02:32] DaveTheJoker: I dont know why, but my focus on dreaming has made it much more difficult for me to fall sleep
[02:33] RareCola: Going to sleep should literally take no more than 10 minutes
[02:33] DaveTheJoker: it used to be instant
[02:33] DaveTheJoker: then I started thinking about it
[02:33] theCambino: when I started again from a break... during the break I was reckless staying up late and I would be disappointed the following mornings for having terrible recall... and said I will stay motivated because my recall will get better and better in the course of a week or so because I am fixing my sleep schedule
[02:33] theCambino:
[02:33] OpheliaBlue: since I've been getting on the treadmill every other day, I pass out way easier
[02:33] theCambino: there!
[02:33] DaveTheJoker: I should go runnin
[02:33] RareCola: I think that's your problem too, you're being too focused on it. I have infinitely better recall when I don't get too determined on it
[02:33] DaveTheJoker: lol its like I am both too determined and too lazy
[02:33] OpheliaBlue: lol I know the feeling man
[02:34] RareCola: You're determined on the wrong things, basically
[02:34] OpheliaBlue: but you gotta find it in yourself
[02:34] DaveTheJoker: lol
[02:34] theCambino: mentally you're determinded and physically you lazy and don't act on the determination?
[02:34] OpheliaBlue: wake up your inner adult
[02:34] theCambino: you're**
[02:34] RareCola: The thing I think most people struggle with, including DaveTheJoker is that lucid dreaming isn't just lucid dreaming, it's lucid living
[02:35] RareCola: it requires rethinking your entire life to succeed well
[02:35] OpheliaBlue: amen my brother
[02:35] RareCola: and finding the motivation to do that
[02:35] theCambino: a lifestyle
[02:35] DaveTheJoker: well I dont know if I want to rethink my entire life
[02:35] OpheliaBlue: not just something that you say right before bed "Ok I'm gonna try to LD"
[02:35] DaveTheJoker: kist to get dream recall
[02:35] DaveTheJoker: well the funny thing is
[02:35] DaveTheJoker: when I do that, OpheliaBlue
[02:35] theCambino: scratch "try"
[02:35] DaveTheJoker: it often works
[02:36] DaveTheJoker: well not often
[02:36] DaveTheJoker: but when I just have a few thoughts
[02:36] DaveTheJoker: It works better than staying up all night thinking about it
[02:36] DaveTheJoker: I am confusing myself
[02:36] DaveTheJoker: stoppit
[02:36] theCambino: lol
[02:36] DaveTheJoker: my brain is pissing me off
[02:37] RareCola: From what I can see there are multiple things causing your problems
[02:37] theCambino: calm yourself down...
[02:37] DaveTheJoker: imagine if you had to live with this penut for a brain
[02:37] DaveTheJoker: you would be annoyed too
[02:37] RareCola: Honestly? The thing I would recommend at this point is taking a time-out from lucid dreaming
[02:37] RareCola: Don't even attempt it for a week
[02:37] syth406 left the chat room. (Connection closed)
[02:37] DaveTheJoker: ok
[02:37] RareCola: And come back next week with a fresh start
[02:37] theCambino: getta fresh start... like RareCola is saying
[02:37] theCambino: damn it
[02:37] DaveTheJoker: maybe this week I will attempt to fix my sleep schedule
[02:37] theCambino: tuslo
[02:38] OpheliaBlue: sounds like a good idea
[02:38] RareCola: Yea, have a week of sorting out your sleep schedule and maybe attempting to wake up multiple times during the night, just set your intentions on that
[02:38] DaveTheJoker: maybe I will wake up at 6am
[02:38] DaveTheJoker: stay awake for a bit
[02:38] DaveTheJoker: and then do a WBTB
[02:39] OpheliaBlue: I'm setting my alarm for 5am, then 6:30, then 8
[02:39] theCambino: that many times?
[02:39] OpheliaBlue: it's my snooze DEILD method
[02:40] theCambino: lol
[02:40] OpheliaBlue: yeah, worked this morning haha
[02:40] RareCola: Oo you're not a natural waker?
[02:40] RareCola: Haha
[02:40] theCambino: OpheliaBlue: my alarm clock would suck for that
[02:40] OpheliaBlue: I did naturally for all except the 5am one\
[02:40] OpheliaBlue: that was when my bf got up for work
[02:40] DaveTheJoker: I am totally stealing OpheliaBlue 's Idea
[02:40] RareCola: ah
[02:40] theCambino: one step at a time
[02:41] theCambino: don't shoot yourself in the foot and take on too many techniques
[02:41] OpheliaBlue: the rest I did on my own, but I'm not sure it would work 2 nights in a row, since I'm not as tired today as I was yesterday what with the long ass work day
[02:41] DaveTheJoker: you think I have patience?
[02:41] OpheliaBlue: no not really haha
[02:41] theCambino: do I think you don't?
[02:41] OpheliaBlue: but you can learn that too
[02:41] DaveTheJoker: absolutely not
[02:41] theCambino: patience is key... just like confidence
[02:41] RareCola: Patience is a virtue, as they say~
[02:41] theCambino: dream yoga young grasshoppper
[02:41] DaveTheJoker: We are not patient types around here
[02:41] DaveTheJoker: Its not my fault
[02:42] DaveTheJoker: lol jk
[02:42] theCambino: start learning to be patient
[02:42] theCambino: it's a process
[02:42] DaveTheJoker: I am better than my dad
[02:42] OpheliaBlue: ok
[02:42] RareCola: What is your reason for lucid dreaming DaveTheJoker?
[02:43] DaveTheJoker: boredom to be honest
[02:43] RareCola: That could also be your issue
[02:43] RareCola: You're not motivated enough
[02:43] theCambino: that's a tough question with multiple answers
[02:43] DaveTheJoker: [21:43:32] <% RareCola > You're not motivated enough
[02:43] DaveTheJoker: definition of my life
[02:43] DaveTheJoker: so far that is
[02:44] theCambino: wow it's 6:44 already @_@
[02:44] RareCola: So here is your homework for this week, and I want a report back from you in your workbook next weekend: 1) Sort out your sleep schedule 2) Practice waking up multiple times during the night, there are multiple methods to do this, research them. 3) Start a list of why you want to lucid dream. Make them meaningful and things that will motivate you.
[02:44] theCambino: I definitely need to start waking up without an alarm
[02:45] OpheliaBlue: practice and motivation
[02:45] theCambino: determination and commitment
[02:45] OpheliaBlue: funny how those things come fairly easy when yuo really want to attain that goal
[02:45] DaveTheJoker: RareCola : I am gonna paste that in my DJ, if you don't mind
[02:45] DaveTheJoker: just for me to reference
[02:45] RareCola: Go ahead
[02:46] RareCola: And be patient, you have all week so take your time with all of them
[02:47] theCambino: agrees
[02:47] DaveTheJoker: I need to do shit IRL
[02:47] DaveTheJoker: I think that will help with dreaming
[02:47] DaveTheJoker: this laying around is overrated
[02:47] theCambino: practice ADA and ASDA
[02:47] theCambino: whill walking to the park?
[02:47] theCambino: while*
[02:48] DaveTheJoker: sounds cool
[02:48] thedanknight joined the chat room.
[02:48] DaveTheJoker: but I mean like stuff to advance my life
[02:48] DaveTheJoker: maybe get a job
[02:48] theCambino: oh
[02:48] RareCola: That could help
[02:48] RareCola: Of course getting more juice for your dreams will increase their content
[02:48] theCambino: ^
[02:49] theCambino: getting a job will ease irl stresses
[02:49] DaveTheJoker: I got frustrated after searching for a job and not finding anything workable
[02:49] theCambino: stress deminishes recall at times too
[02:49] DaveTheJoker: you need to be 18 for all the good jobs
[02:49] RareCola: Another tip I have is to focus on finding "dream feelings" in real life. For example, if you're driving in a car open up the window and notice the environment rushing past you as the wind blows against your face. It's a pretty surreal thing that can feel really dream-like
[02:49] RareCola: there are a whole bunch of things like this in real life
[02:50] DaveTheJoker: ^
[02:50] DaveTheJoker: posting that in the thread too
[02:50] theCambino: interesting!
[02:50] DaveTheJoker: so much useful info here
[02:50] • theCambino takes notes
[02:50] DaveTheJoker: thank god for these
[02:50] theCambino: Ikr
[02:50] RareCola: Haha
[02:50] DaveTheJoker: and the teachers of course
[02:50] theCambino: like the surreal thing... going to the park and just listening to the environment is pretty weird
[02:51] theCambino: or the zoo
[02:51] theCambino: I need to go to the zoo sometime
[02:51] theCambino: get some more content for the mind
[02:51] DaveTheJoker: lol tthe zoo
[02:51] theCambino: then dream about errr say polar bears
[02:51] RareCola: I'm a fan of people-watching too, it's interesting to just sit somewhere and see how people go about their lives. That could be why I have so many dreams where I'm viewing from other people's perspectives, actually.
[02:51] DaveTheJoker: yea I wish we had a place to do that around here
[02:52] RareCola: I'm sure you could find somewhere. Every town has a park
[02:52] theCambino: detroit doesn't have zoos?
[02:52] OpheliaBlue: forgive me, there's always a troll, or spammer, or something wheneve I'm tryign to teach a class
[02:52] theCambino: lol
[02:52] DaveTheJoker: huh where
[02:52] theCambino: forums...?
[02:52] RareCola: No worries, my teaching juices seem to be flowing tonight.
[02:52] DaveTheJoker: the park at my town sucks
[02:53] theCambino: downtown...
[02:53] theCambino: sit on a bench
[02:53] DaveTheJoker: I might get shot
[02:53] theCambino: or steps
[02:53] RareCola: Go sit in a McDonalds then, idfk
[02:53] theCambino: think positive
[02:53] theCambino: RareCola: lol
[02:53] DaveTheJoker: jk, but seriosly inner suburbs of detroit arent the place for that sort of thing
[02:54] DaveTheJoker: although gettin shot might be good for dreaming
[02:54] theCambino: there's always a place
[02:54] RareCola: haha
[02:54] theCambino: lol
[02:54] theCambino: going downtown tomorrow to people watch
[02:54] DaveTheJoker: plus its soo hot
[02:54] theCambino: excuses....
[02:54] DaveTheJoker: downtown detroit....
[02:54] theCambino: determination!
[02:55] RareCola: Noticing weather is great, weather in dreams can be very intense
[02:55] theCambino: I've been walking around to much... time for the environment to walk around me... so I can watch
[02:55] theCambino: rain in dreams!
[02:55] DaveTheJoker: I guess I will get on my bike and huff it into Franklin tomorrow
[02:55] DaveTheJoker: if I dont die
[02:55] theCambino: there you go
[02:55] DaveTheJoker: of heat
[02:56] theCambino: you'll get your daily exercise
[02:56] theCambino: and be tired enough to fall asleep earlier
[02:56] theCambino:
[02:56] DaveTheJoker: or I could drive there....
[02:56] theCambino: driving isn't fun
[02:56] DaveTheJoker: isnt it kind of weird to sit alone at a park
[02:56] theCambino: not at all
[02:56] theCambino: people do it all the time... it's why there are benches
[02:57] RareCola: I think one of the most important things in life is to become comfortable with spending time in your own company
[02:57] theCambino: ^
[02:57] DaveTheJoker: I spend too much of my time in my own company
[02:57] RareCola: Ever gone to a restaurant by yourself? You should try it
[02:57] theCambino: it's not how much time you spend
[02:57] theCambino: it's how comfortable you are spending it
[02:57] theCambino: RareCola: eating alone is a little more challenging...
[02:57] theCambino: hah
[02:58] DaveTheJoker: maybe I will take my brother out for lunch one of these days
[02:58] RareCola: Haha
[02:58] theCambino: I am still trying to get comfortable eating alone... especially in high class restaurants
[02:58] theCambino: you don't see people eating alone in red lobster
[02:58] DaveTheJoker: no
[02:58] RareCola: It's hard and awkward, but it's great
[02:58] theCambino: but that's besides the point
[02:58] theCambino: ^ agreed
[02:58] DaveTheJoker: how is it great?
[02:58] theCambino: peace of mind
[02:59] theCambino: plus people watching... watching them eat
[02:59] DaveTheJoker: peace of mind that you are alone in life?
[02:59] RareCola: Just being comfortable in your own company
[02:59] OpheliaBlue left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 90 seconds)
[02:59] theCambino: thats a negative way to look at it DaveTheJoker
[02:59] theCambino: you HAVE to be positive
[02:59] DaveTheJoker: well...
[02:59] Oreoboy1996: my problem is actually being around people >.>
[02:59] theCambino: Oreoboy1996: because they're not dragons?
[02:59] Oreoboy1996: i'm just fine on my own
[02:59] DaveTheJoker: lol you cant spend your life alone
[02:59] thedanknight: me too
[02:59] theCambino: DaveTheJoker: that's not the point
[02:59] Oreoboy1996: no because i have no social skills
[03:00] theCambino: me neither Oreoboy1996 !
[03:00] DaveTheJoker: I have no social skills
[03:00] Oreoboy1996: i've also always been content with being alone

[20:02:29] <theCambino> I'm on my phone...
[20:02:36] <theCambino> bear with me
[20:02:50] <theCambino> thank you oreo
[20:02:51] <Wurlman> Is that we're u move ur finger well u fall asleep?
[20:02:55] <@BuffaloBlue> yeah
[20:02:58] <theCambino> yes
[20:03:06] <@BuffaloBlue> I tried it once, but I found it a nuisance
[20:03:07] <Wurlman> I understand
[20:03:09] <DaveTheJoker> well you wake up in the middle of the night
[20:03:17] OwenLucid [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[20:03:19] <DaveTheJoker> and you stay awake for as little as possible
[20:03:23] <@BuffaloBlue> I find induction techniques are more mental than physical
[20:03:25] <%Caenis> Hello OwenLucid.
[20:03:29] <%paigeyemps^> i tried it a couple of times too but it mever worked for me
[20:03:36] <DaveTheJoker> I tried last night
[20:03:37] <OwenLucid> hey guys
[20:03:38] <%paigeyemps^> *never
[20:03:38] <Burke> good amount of people tonight
[20:03:41] <DaveTheJoker> but I woke up to SP
[20:03:42] <%paigeyemps^> hey OwenLucid
[20:03:48] Exotiraan^ hasn't done anything outside of DILD and WILD (and one DEILD).
[20:03:48] <OwenLucid> heeeellooo
[20:03:54] <DaveTheJoker> and I wanted to try a DEILD
[20:03:59] <DaveTheJoker> which failed...
[20:04:08] paigeyemps^ [paigeyemps^@C85EFD.E88B32.DBCF5E.77EB6E] is now known as nutteyemps
[20:04:17] <theCambino> this will be hard to keep up o_o
[20:04:19] <%Caenis> I thought waking up with SP would make it easy to do DEILD?
[20:04:27] <DaveTheJoker> me too
[20:04:31] <@BuffaloBlue> me three
[20:04:32] <kraom> yea seems like it
[20:04:34] <DaveTheJoker> I waited and waited
[20:04:40] <DaveTheJoker> but nuttin happened
[20:04:51] <kraom> did you try visualization?
[20:04:51] <DaveTheJoker> my alarm went on for 60 seconds
[20:04:59] <%Caenis> That sucks.
[20:05:08] <Exotiraan^> Explicitly waiting on things make you stay awake.
[20:05:15] <DaveTheJoker> I just tried to slow my mind down
[20:05:26] <DaveTheJoker> and tried to relax
[20:05:31] <Burke> during deilds I try and go back in the dream i was just in
[20:05:39] <%Caenis> That's a good point Exo.
[20:05:40] <OwenLucid> is anybody else trying to DEILD cause they finally are done school and can sleep in?
[20:05:42] <Burke> helps with not waking up too much and also with thinking of a place to go
[20:05:56] <theCambino> ^ what Burke said
[20:06:00] <theCambino> before
[20:06:06] <DaveTheJoker> maybe I will think about ducks next time
[20:06:07] <%nutteyemps> before, i would always imagine the dream i want before i go to bed. took a me a loooong time to realize it only keeps me awake
[20:06:08] <%Oreoboy1996> i use DEILD, but it's not really because school is over
[20:06:20] <theCambino> ducks XD
[20:06:21] <Burke> I used to use DEILD all the time
[20:06:31] <Burke> but I haven't had the oppourtunity recently
[20:06:31] <%nutteyemps> so now i just listen to white noise from the AC or to my breaths so i can fall asleep
[20:06:48] <OwenLucid> it would screw up my sleep schedual if I did during school
[20:06:50] <@BuffaloBlue> in general, it's really important for ALL of us to realize that bed time is for sleep and dreams.. all other thoughts and stress and nonsense is for the waking hours.
[20:06:59] <theCambino> I need to train myself not to move for DEILD again
[20:07:24] <theCambino> ok brb getting on the comp
[20:07:27] <DaveTheJoker> BuffaloBlue: give me exactly what to do after I wake to SP
[20:07:35] <@BuffaloBlue> lol
[20:07:44] <kraom> theres a thread like this
[20:07:48] <@BuffaloBlue> well,
[20:08:22] <@BuffaloBlue> you need to develop techniques to quiet your mind, and stress relievers durign the day help alot: ie. exercise.
[20:08:40] <Wurlman> I wish I could achieve sp
[20:08:50] <%Oreoboy1996> sp sucks
[20:08:52] <Burke> Wurlman: you do every night
[20:09:12] <@BuffaloBlue> tell yourself that stress and out of control thoughts are for the day, during exercise, and night/sp/dreams are for relaxation
[20:09:31] <DaveTheJoker> well I wasnt stressed
[20:09:36] <Wurlman> Lol
[20:09:39] <DaveTheJoker> just a bit excited
[20:09:43] <DaveTheJoker> not very much either
[20:10:00] <DaveTheJoker> I just was trying to keep from involuntarily moving
[20:10:00] <Burke> calm yourself, maintain a balance so that you fall asleep but you don't lose consciousness
[20:10:11] <DaveTheJoker> I really wanted to roll over
[20:10:21] <DaveTheJoker> eventually after I gave up I did
[20:10:24] <DaveTheJoker> fell right to sleep....
[20:10:40] <%nutteyemps> ahh whenever i avoid an itch, i just end up involuntarily twitching that body oart o.o
[20:10:42] <%nutteyemps> part
[20:10:42] <@BuffaloBlue> you probably need to wear yourself out more during the day
[20:10:47] <Wurlman> Close ur eyes and amagine sinking in ur bed or floating out of ur body I read in a one book once
[20:11:01] <@BuffaloBlue> lol you got all nutty
[20:11:14] <%Caenis> Well you made a good attempt Dave! Read some WILD tutorials, and see what you think could help. There are a ton of different ways of creating a dream around you.
[20:11:21] <%Caenis> nutteyemps: That happens to me too.
[20:11:23] <%nutteyemps>
[20:11:25] <Wurlman> Obe*
[20:11:27] <%Oreoboy1996> since we're on the topic of WILD, i had backwards experience last night
[20:11:38] <@BuffaloBlue> Wurlman: yeah, when I'm in prime position for WILDs / DEILDs, I have the sinking feeling.. almost to the point of feeling like there's a weight on me
[20:11:45] <@BuffaloBlue> then something crawls up on me haha
[20:11:56] <@BuffaloBlue> a comfortable weight, that is
[20:12:08] <%Oreoboy1996> as I was falling asleep for the first time last night I somehow ended up in sleep paralysis
[20:12:18] <%nutteyemps> x)
[20:12:21] Exotiraan^ oohs.
[20:12:22] theCambino [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Ping timeout: 90 seconds
[20:12:31] <%RareCola> Late again, woops -- hey guys
[20:12:35] <%nutteyemps> hey rc!
[20:12:36] <DaveTheJoker> cool
[20:12:36] <@BuffaloBlue> hey!
[20:12:42] <%Oreoboy1996> i used it to my advantage and tried daydreaming
[20:12:45] <DaveTheJoker> hey RareCola
[20:12:58] <%nutteyemps> my pc was being crappy agaon and wouldnt turn on so i had to come over tom my co
[20:12:59] <%Caenis> Hey RareCola.
[20:13:02] <%Oreoboy1996> and i ended up in some sort of false awakening where i was blind and stumbling around my room
[20:13:02] <%RareCola> So much name rape today
[20:13:05] <%nutteyemps> ,cousin's
[20:13:12] <%nutteyemps> damn this keyboard!! hahahaha
[20:13:12] <@BuffaloBlue> oh that sucks Oreoboy1996
[20:13:21] <%Oreoboy1996> i was lucid but i completely forgot about the thing we discussed about opening the dream eyes
[20:13:26] <DaveTheJoker> lol
[20:13:31] <DaveTheJoker> Im sorry
[20:13:33] <DaveTheJoker> I find that really funny
[20:13:38] <%Oreoboy1996> it is funny
[20:13:40] <%nutteyemps> loool
[20:13:43] <@BuffaloBlue> I wonder if alot of those unstable, partially blind and deaf LDs are where we are still in a bit of SP
[20:13:48] <DaveTheJoker> Oreoboy1996: stumbling around his room, blind, lucid
[20:13:53] <%nutteyemps> i think it is?
[20:13:59] <@BuffaloBlue> well, FA is not lucid
[20:14:09] <@BuffaloBlue> you can turn it into a lucid
[20:14:28] <%RareCola> False Awakenings are awesome though
[20:14:28] <%Oreoboy1996> well i was lucid right from the start
[20:14:31] <%RareCola> such an easy way to become lucid
[20:14:53] <%Oreoboy1996> but i consider it a false awakening if i'm right where i fell asleep
[20:14:58] <DaveTheJoker> I always RC in the morning
[20:15:15] <Wurlman> Good practice for sure
[20:15:18] <%Oreoboy1996> anyways, the strange part is i entered sp maybe a half hour or so after going to bed
[20:15:22] <%Oreoboy1996> maybe sooner than that
[20:15:55] <@BuffaloBlue> ohhhhh, well that's like, instantly lucid in your bed or whatever
[20:16:05] <Wurlman> Hum
[20:16:07] <@BuffaloBlue> a FA by definition is where you think you woke up, but you are dreaming
[20:16:07] Exotiraan^ had two dreams this morning, but forgot one.
[20:16:18] <%RareCola> It's just using your most recent waking memory to form the dream, instead of building a dream from your subconscious
[20:16:32] <@BuffaloBlue> technically nonlucid, but it can easily become a lucid if you can become aware within th FA, which makes it a DILD more or less
[20:16:34] <%nutteyemps> hmm i was wondering
[20:16:51] <DaveTheJoker> FILD I think well work for me
[20:17:05] <%RareCola> FILD's a weird one
[20:17:11] <DaveTheJoker> weird?
[20:17:16] <%nutteyemps> would an FA require the dream scene look normal and realistic? or would it still be an FA even if the scene is completely off, but you just think you woke up already
[20:17:25] <%RareCola> I find it keeps me too awake
[20:17:26] <Wurlman> Def. weird lol
[20:17:51] Exotiraan^ intreprets a false awakening as literal definition.
[20:17:53] <%RareCola> False awakening is any time you think you woke up, but you didn't. Hence false awakening.
[20:17:56] <%Oreoboy1996> paigey, a false awakening would simply be one where you "wake up"

[20:18:23] theCambino [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[20:18:25] <Exotiraan^> You could wake up in outer space and it's still an FA. :p
[20:18:28] <%RareCola> moar people
[20:18:29] <%Oreoboy1996> hello RommiH and theCambino
[20:18:35] <RommiH> Hello!
[20:18:36] <%Oreoboy1996> Exotiraan^: yes
[20:18:38] <%nutteyemps> thanks ü
[20:18:38] <theCambino> hola
[20:18:39] <RommiH> class now?
[20:18:41] <RommiH> later?
[20:18:43] <RommiH> soon?
[20:18:44] <%RareCola> now
[20:18:48] <%nutteyemps> now
[20:18:54] <%Oreoboy1996> now
[20:18:54] <theCambino> hola cola
[20:18:55] <%nutteyemps> *nao
[20:19:05] <Exotiraan^> RareCola: It started 1t 2000 UTC-0500.
[20:19:05] <@BuffaloBlue> yes to nutteyemps
[20:19:10] <Exotiraan^> * RommiH
[20:19:20] <RommiH> for how since it started?
[20:19:27] <%RareCola> 19 minutes
[20:19:28] <Exotiraan^> Twenty minutes ago
[20:19:29] <%Oreoboy1996> 20 minutes ago
[20:19:30] <@BuffaloBlue> in fact, that's how you get an FA to become a lucid, if the waking environment is so messed up that it sparks lucidity
[20:19:37] <Wurlman> Exotirraan I never though of it like that then I had one yesterday lol in Somones back yard
[20:19:39] <RommiH> ok
[20:19:57] <%nutteyemps>
[20:20:26] <@BuffaloBlue> eventually you can even begin to "feel lucid" when you have an FA, if you do it continuously
[20:20:36] <theCambino> so did I miss much discussion on FILD?
[20:20:46] sollun [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[20:20:47] <RommiH> so were discussing DEILDs and FILDs... Great I need help with those
[20:20:47] <theCambino> I know when I left it was about SP
[20:20:51] <%Caenis> Hey sollun.
[20:20:54] <%Oreoboy1996> hello sollun
[20:20:58] <Wurlman> Nope
[20:21:04] <Exotiraan^> I haven't had (or, at least, remembered) an FA in a while.
[20:21:07] <sollun> hey all
[20:21:20] <Wurlman> I want to wake up in space l
[20:21:21] <@BuffaloBlue> hey sollun our newest and bluest
[20:21:21] <RommiH> Its been a while for me too
[20:21:24] <theCambino> had one before I started practice lucid dreaming
[20:21:24] <%nutteyemps> hey sollun!
[20:21:27] <@BuffaloBlue> tell us a bit about yourself man
[20:21:32] <%RareCola> ewlcome sollun!
[20:21:34] <%RareCola> and welcome
[20:21:41] <%nutteyemps> oooh i've waoken up in space!
[20:21:45] <%nutteyemps> *woken
[20:21:46] <RommiH> Hello Sullon
[20:21:47] <Wurlman> SOLLUN!!
[20:21:51] <%nutteyemps> it was cool :3
[20:21:56] <Exotiraan^> I usually hate those, 'cause when they do feel weird, I somehow end up getting it mixed up with schizophrenia or something, then panic. :<
[20:21:57] <theCambino> nutteyemps: that's awesome
[20:21:57] <%RareCola> I'm jealous
[20:21:59] <@BuffaloBlue> nutteyemps: lol what
[20:22:00] <%RareCola> I want to go to space
[20:22:01] <Wurlman> Wrong spelling lololol
[20:22:04] <%Oreoboy1996> i don't go to space often
[20:22:04] <theCambino> I have yet to experience space
[20:22:12] <%nutteyemps> i've had some space FAs before
[20:22:13] <DaveTheJoker> oops ophelia I was in the wrong room LOL
[20:22:16] <Wurlman> That would b the best
[20:22:19] <%nutteyemps> and usually they didnt make me lucid
[20:22:19] <@BuffaloBlue> I know I saw that
[20:22:27] <DaveTheJoker> I was wondering why they werent talking about dreaming
[20:22:34] <theCambino> lol
[20:22:43] <%RareCola> Fail Dave :l
[20:22:47] <@BuffaloBlue> !brb potty break 2 min

[20:23:36] <%Caenis> I don't think I have either.
[20:23:38] <OwenLucid> this is hecktick!
[20:23:39] <+paigeyemps^> thanks
[20:23:40] <theCambino> the only thing I have a problem with FILD is that I keep reading that the LDs are short and light
[20:23:41] <theCambino> :/
[20:23:50] <+paigeyemps^>
[20:23:53] <Exotiraan^> I don't even recall it being a Spectator Mode event, but that's a lot more likely.
[20:23:54] <DaveTheJoker> theCambino: someone told me that
[20:23:59] <%Oreoboy1996> really? i thought this was pretty mild
[20:24:02] <theCambino> unlike DILD... the dreams are usually already vivid
[20:24:05] <Wurlman> PAIGEY I dident know that was u lmao
[20:24:10] <DaveTheJoker> she said that you just need to do alot of stablization
[20:24:12] <+paigeyemps^> whaaa? lmao
[20:24:15] <+paigeyemps^>
[20:24:21] <+paigeyemps^> i got raped
[20:24:21] <%RareCola> I think there are better methods than FILD personally, you can focus your attention without moving your finger
[20:24:22] <DaveTheJoker> and increase the vividness manually
[20:24:25] <theCambino> DaveTheJoker: yeah we'd have to work on control
[20:24:28] <+paigeyemps^> weird, i neverget raped in the morning
[20:24:32] <Wurlman> Lmao
[20:24:34] <+paigeyemps^> anyway i was wondering
[20:24:40] <DaveTheJoker> theCambino: well how hard can it be?
[20:24:43] <+paigeyemps^> gaaaaaa i forgot
[20:24:46] <theCambino> hard?
[20:24:48] <DaveTheJoker> lol I never get raped in the morning
[20:24:53] <theCambino> probably really hard
[20:25:03] <DaveTheJoker> theCambino: nah sounds easy
[20:25:03] <DaveTheJoker> I mean all you gotta do
[20:25:06] <Exotiraan^> DaveTheJoker: As hard as you want it to be. :p
[20:25:15] <Exotiraan^> (non-suggestively. )
[20:25:21] <DaveTheJoker> is hug the wall and yell for the dream to be vivid
[20:25:22] <+paigeyemps^> lmaok
[20:25:27] <theCambino> spin
[20:25:36] <%RareCola> Initial stabilisation of a dream is easy, yes, keeping it stable is hard.
[20:25:36] <+paigeyemps^> lmao*bababababa this keyboard is going to be smashed later
[20:25:45] <+paigeyemps^> ^^
[20:25:47] <%Oreoboy1996> most people don't seem to handel spinning well
[20:25:50] <%RareCola> Unless you spend the entire lucid dream rubbing your hands together
[20:25:59] <theCambino> hmmm
[20:26:02] <DaveTheJoker> theCambino: well the good thing is, you will likely be fully lucid
[20:26:10] <@BuffaloBlue|BRB> !back
[20:26:11] BuffaloBlue|BRB [[email protected]] is now known as BuffaloBlue
[20:26:16] <theCambino> RareCola: any suggestions outside of FILD... WILD?
[20:26:19] <DaveTheJoker> and will have your wits about you in stabliizing the dream
[20:26:27] <theCambino> DaveTheJoker: true
[20:26:29] <%RareCola> Also, remember that waking memories have issues transferring into lucid dreams. You may not remember to stabilise
[20:26:30] <+paigeyemps^> i had this lucid dream once where a jamaican looking dc kept telling me to rc every few seconds
[20:26:35] <+paigeyemps^> he might have been my dg
[20:26:39] <+paigeyemps^> but never saw him again
[20:26:43] <Exotiraan^> In the once-in-a-blue moon that I get lucid, I don't try to do stabalization stuff to it.
[20:26:59] <RommiH> eeek gotta go :S
[20:27:00] <+paigeyemps^> *stabilize, not rc
[20:27:04] RommiH [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Quit: Page closed
[20:27:08] <+paigeyemps^> aww byebye ro-nvm
[20:27:13] <theCambino> lol
[20:27:14] <+paigeyemps^> x)
[20:27:16] <Exotiraan^> I think that doing the stabalization stuff gets into my head that you have to stabablize dreams in order for you to stay in them.
[20:27:17] <+paigeyemps^> tuslo
[20:27:28] <Exotiraan^> I don't want to invent more rules.
[20:27:37] <%Caenis> You don't stabilize Exotiraan^? How long do you stay in your dreams for?
[20:27:40] <+paigeyemps^> yea fOrceez said something about those being a schema
[20:27:42] <%Caenis> How vivid are your LDs?
[20:27:42] <theCambino> ^ makes sense Exotiraan^
[20:27:47] <@BuffaloBlue> Exotiraan^: I know what yuo mean, they call that schema
[20:27:58] <Wurlman> Good point on rules
[20:28:03] <%Oreoboy1996> i do the same thing Exotiraan^
[20:28:04] <+paigeyemps^> so like, if you dont expect your dream to crash, it wont, and you dont have to stabilize in the firstvplace
[20:28:07] <+paigeyemps^> forst place
[20:28:10] <+paigeyemps^> first
[20:28:15] <@BuffaloBlue> yes
[20:28:16] <+paigeyemps^>
[20:28:18] <%RareCola> I personally don't believe that
[20:28:18] <%Oreoboy1996> stabilization = destabilization
[20:28:21] <@BuffaloBlue> at least, that's the theory
[20:28:29] <+paigeyemps^> ^
[20:28:34] <+paigeyemps^> i was kinda confused about int
[20:28:35] <Wurlman> So is the big bang
[20:28:36] <+paigeyemps^> it
[20:28:41] <@BuffaloBlue> I know everyone is different, and there are all types of lucid learning
[20:28:52] <+paigeyemps^> but ophie told me to try it out and see what works for me
[20:28:53] <theCambino> so if spinning isn't handled by others well... what's a safe alternative
[20:28:56] <@BuffaloBlue> sorry, I meant hypothesis, not theory
[20:29:03] <@BuffaloBlue> schema is not a proven theory yet
[20:29:05] <%RareCola> I think, if anything, it's a schema that believing not stabilising will help you stay lucid without stabilising.

[20:29:35] <DaveTheJoker> hi TylerRoberts
[20:29:41] <theCambino> bonjour TylerRoberts
[20:29:42] <%Oreoboy1996> hello TylerRoberts
[20:29:51] <+paigeyemps^> hey TylerRoberts !
[20:29:52] <Wurlman> Tyler lol to cool for school
[20:29:52] <@BuffaloBlue> anyway RareCola, that was going to be my next point but you worded it perfect

[20:29:58] <theCambino> paigeyemps^: BuffaloBlue is opheliablue
[20:29:59] <%Caenis> theCambino: Rubbing hands, staring at your hands, moving forward, touching your environment, eating something.
[20:30:01] <%RareCola> Haha
[20:30:03] <DaveTheJoker> I need to know what to think
[20:30:09] <+paigeyemps^> Cam did you just greet in french?
[20:30:11] <%Oreoboy1996> BuffaloBlue: how do we prove a theory like that?
[20:30:12] <theCambino> Caenis: thank you... good looking out!
[20:30:21] <+paigeyemps^> i know, theCambino :p
[20:30:21] <theCambino> paigeyemps^: oui
[20:30:26] <%Caenis> Interacting with your dream, basically. The more you focus on your dream theCambino, the more vivid it will become!
[20:30:31] <theCambino> ping ping ping
[20:30:36] <theCambino> keep em coming!
[20:30:37] <@BuffaloBlue> Oreoboy1996: I dunno, we need sleep therapists and REM scientists and brain wave specialists etc
[20:30:42] Exotiraan^ is still in the process of trying to either coerce his mind to break logic rules or work within the system to get what he wants.
[20:30:43] <+paigeyemps^> lol
[20:30:54] theCambino taking notes from Caenis
[20:30:56] <theCambino> thank you
[20:31:00] <%RareCola> I don't think there is a way to prove it. It's all about what works for you.
[20:31:07] <%RareCola> The power of belief is a strong one though
[20:31:09] <@BuffaloBlue> true dat
[20:31:10] <DaveTheJoker> RareCola: are you a DEILDer?
[20:31:14] <+paigeyemps^> yaaa placentaaaa
[20:31:15] <+paigeyemps^> woo
[20:31:19] <%RareCola> I'm an everything-er.
[20:31:19] <+paigeyemps^> i mean placebo
[20:31:23] <%RareCola> So yes
[20:31:26] <+paigeyemps^> lmfao wtf is wrong with me today
[20:31:28] Caenis [[email protected]] is now known as Caenis|BRB
[20:31:30] <%Oreoboy1996> i think trusting people would be easier than rapists
[20:31:36] <theCambino> paigeyemps^: lawls
[20:31:37] <DaveTheJoker> RareCola: what do you think of when you wake up in SP?
[20:31:41] <@BuffaloBlue> I believe there is some truth to "OMG there is now possible way in hell I can have a decent LD without stabilizing" is a way to set up for failure
[20:31:41] <@BuffaloBlue> but
[20:31:57] <@BuffaloBlue> not learning stabilization techniques at all ever, is another set up for failure
[20:32:11] <@BuffaloBlue> no problem having as many tricks up your sleeve as possible
[20:32:24] <theCambino> not to derail the room... but I found myself doing a lot of RCs today... how many is too many?
[20:32:26] <%RareCola> I don't really go into sleep paralysis, I have "vibrations" but never really full sleep paralysis. But when I wake up I usually just lay there and try and recall the previous dream or count down and believe that when I reach 0 I will be in a lucid dream.
[20:32:29] <theCambino> errr to often
[20:32:33] <theCambino> too often**
[20:32:39] DaveTheJoker [[email protected]] is now known as DaveTheJoker|BRB
[20:32:43] <%RareCola> The trick with DEILDing is to not wake your mind up too much
[20:32:49] <%Oreoboy1996> well what happens when i remember stabilization is I worry too much about the dream falling apart
[20:33:07] <%Oreoboy1996> and no matter how much i stabilize i can't beat that thought
[20:33:07] <theCambino> RCs in waking life is what I'm shooting at
[20:33:17] <DaveTheJoker|BRB> !back
[20:33:17] DaveTheJoker|BRB [[email protected]] is now known as DaveTheJoker
[20:33:19] <TylerRoberts> My issue with DEILD is my instant urge to roll over when I wake up.
[20:33:20] <%Oreoboy1996> so the answer is simply to not think about it
[20:33:28] <%RareCola> You just have to fight that urge
[20:33:34] <+paigeyemps^> TylerRoberts: it could work for you
[20:33:38] <theCambino> TylerRoberts: same.... I have to work on that
[20:33:40] <DaveTheJoker> huh
[20:33:41] <+paigeyemps^> rolling over works for me a lot
[20:33:42] <DaveTheJoker> !brb
[20:33:42] DaveTheJoker [[email protected]] is now known as DaveTheJoker|BRB
[20:33:55] <%RareCola> Oh that's true actually, you can still DEILD after rolling over
[20:34:02] <%RareCola> as long as you don't think about it too much
[20:34:05] <+paigeyemps^> insteadnof laying still, i roll over and fall into a dream where i usually get lucid right away
[20:34:17] <+paigeyemps^> im not sure why it works either
[20:34:19] <TylerRoberts> Really? I roll over and then realizwe what I just did and give up.
[20:34:21] <theCambino> I find myself being like oh fack I rolled over I gotta DEILD
[20:34:24] <%RareCola> if you start thinking "oh I need to roll over! I have to! Okay I'm going to roll over. Damn I've just lost my DEILD chance" -- you're ruining it for yourself.
[20:34:27] <Exotiraan^> At the end of a dream I had yesterday, I ran up to a computer terminal and started inputting commands to tell myself to «relax» and to «enter sleep paralysis» and «continue», but I ended up waking up when I did that.
[20:34:36] <+paigeyemps^> yea you can try it out, just think positive
[20:34:40] <@BuffaloBlue> Oreoboy1996: I believe there is truth to that.. don't worry about stabilization at all if possible. Then, if something goes wrong, have a back up plan
[20:34:41] <theCambino> RareCola: ^ yep
[20:34:45] <%Caenis|BRB> !back
[20:34:46] <+paigeyemps^> i think i started like that too
[20:34:46] Caenis|BRB [[email protected]] is now known as Caenis
[20:34:49] <+paigeyemps^> wb
[20:34:55] <theCambino> RareCola: exactly actually
[20:34:58] <theCambino> wb Caenis
[20:35:01] <%Caenis> Thanks.
[20:35:33] <+paigeyemps^> yea i started out with thinking i ruined my chances by rolling over
[20:35:46] <theCambino> I often stress about recall
[20:35:48] <+paigeyemps^> until one time i just rolled over and thought i WILL be in a dream
[20:35:51] <+paigeyemps^> then bam
[20:35:54] <+paigeyemps^> it just worked
[20:35:55] <theCambino> if I wake up naturally after WBTB
[20:35:58] <theCambino> or so
[20:36:05] <%RareCola> Personally though, unless I do some sort of stabilisation, my lucid dreams aren't as crisp. When I stabilise I get that "more realistic than real life" feeling. I don't necessarily think about stabilising though which is why I think it works for me. I usually incorporate it into the dream.
[20:36:13] <@BuffaloBlue> positive goes a long way.. further than thinking that you NEED to have a contingency in order to be successful
[20:36:22] <@BuffaloBlue> positive thinking*
[20:36:34] <TylerRoberts> When I try to use WBTB I fumble with my phone too much and wake myself up.
[20:36:35] <theCambino> RareCola: good to know!
[20:36:49] <theCambino> I dispise electronics
[20:36:57] <theCambino> atleast between my sleeping hours
[20:37:01] <%Caenis> TylerRoberts: I thought the point of a WBTB WAS to wake yourself up for a brief time.
[20:37:03] <@BuffaloBlue> TylerRoberts: I'm spoiled that way. My bf sets the alarm and turns it off hehe
[20:37:04] <theCambino> except alarm clock
[20:37:15] <@BuffaloBlue> I don't have to mess with much that often
[20:37:18] <+paigeyemps^> rubbing hands is always the thing that stabilizes my dreams the most
[20:37:24] <TylerRoberts> Oh yeah!!! I keep forgetting that!
[20:37:31] <+paigeyemps^> it's amazing how real it can feel
[20:37:36] <%RareCola> highfive paige
[20:37:37] <TylerRoberts> I cant wrap my head around the fact that waking up helps you dream.
[20:37:42] <@BuffaloBlue> which is why I like to state over and over to make a short, simple list to remember
[20:37:44] <+paigeyemps^> sometimes i wonder if i actually rubbed my hands in rl
[20:37:50] paigeyemps^ highfives
[20:38:00] <TylerRoberts> !brb
[20:38:00] <@BuffaloBlue> maybe include TOTM, your fav stabilization techniques if necessary,
[20:38:00] TylerRoberts [[email protected]] is now known as TylerRoberts|BRB
[20:38:03] <%Caenis> Haha, well now you know TylerRoberts. Waking up makes you more aware when you enter the dream world.
[20:38:30] <Wurlman> We're is the Totm located
[20:38:30] <%RareCola> I need to become lucid again so I can practice the advanced TOTM, I feel like that one's going to take me a few tries
[20:38:40] <@BuffaloBlue> !totm
[20:38:45] <@BuffaloBlue> oh well i tried
[20:38:52] <@BuffaloBlue> ?? totm

[20:39:36] <Wurlman> Thank u PAIGEY!!!
[20:39:37] <+paigeyemps^> twice now, i was in a lucid and almost did the basic one
[20:39:43] <Exotiraan^> A "stabalization" that I do use is to simply interact with the environment.

[20:40:10] <%Oreoboy1996> paigey it's in your pocket
[20:40:20] <%RareCola> I don' t think it's possible to RC too often, as long as you're RCing for the right reasons
[20:40:22] <%Oreoboy1996> it's always in your pocket >.>

[20:41:47] <eMCLucid> Sorry I'm late!
[20:41:48] <theCambino> Oreoboy1996: that is impressive

[20:42:00] <Wurlman> Lol
[20:42:05] <DaveTheJoker> [21:34:35] <%RareCola> if you start thinking "oh I need to roll over! I have to! Okay I'm going to roll over. Damn I've just lost my DEILD chance" -- you're ruining it for yourself.
[20:42:05] <DaveTheJoker> this is exactly what I do
[20:42:09] <%Oreoboy1996> oh yeah, and i think i then jumped off of it and dived towards the ground
[20:42:11] <%Oreoboy1996> and hurt myself
[20:42:20] <theCambino> oooh
[20:42:34] <hathor28> hi allz what we talking about? lucids
[20:42:36] <%RareCola> Haha yea Dave, you just need to not even let the rolling over thought cross your mind. Just thinking of DEILDing and roll over mindlessly if you have to
[20:42:50] <@BuffaloBlue> I roll over alot and still DEILD / WILD .. I find though that when I'm primed for a WILD type lucid, I don't even want to roll over
[20:42:55] <@BuffaloBlue> I feel so comfortable where I am
[20:42:56] <theCambino> hathor28: look at the topic ^
[20:43:04] <hathor28> o i see
[20:43:04] <DaveTheJoker> RareCola: am I supposed to think of DEILDing ?
[20:43:05] <@BuffaloBlue> I don't have to RESIST rolling over
[20:43:07] <Burke> responding wall of texts with more wall of texts, yay!
[20:43:11] <theCambino> so how difficult is WILD...
[20:43:15] <hathor28> i deild more than wild
[20:43:18] <%RareCola> Yea I agree Ophelia, I don't want to move when I get in that mindset either
[20:43:21] <theCambino> from what it sounds it's not much harder than FILD
[20:43:33] <eMCLucid> Had an FILD last night! Interesting method to say the least.
[20:43:34] <hathor28> wth is fild
[20:43:35] <%RareCola> DaveTheJoker: Of course Dave, you want to set your intentions on becoming lucid
[20:43:42] <hathor28> what does it do?
[20:43:43] <%Caenis> Good job, eMCLucid!
[20:43:47] <%Oreoboy1996> fild: Finger Induced Lucid Dream http://www.dreamviews.com/f49/finger...eam-fild-4779/
[20:43:49] <DaveTheJoker> I kept thinking "how much longer till I'm in a dream"
[20:43:53] <@BuffaloBlue> thanks oreo
[20:43:53] <DaveTheJoker> and it never came
[20:44:00] <%RareCola> That's the issue, you're trying to analyse
[20:44:04] <theCambino> everything is going by so quickly @_@
[20:44:13] <theCambino> full class tonight
[20:44:16] <%RareCola> When you analyse like that you're waking your mind up too much and you're not going to get to sleep
[20:44:18] <Wurlman> Analyze and die
[20:44:19] <DaveTheJoker> ok , so I will think about ducks
[20:44:20] <@BuffaloBlue> I know it!
[20:44:29] <%RareCola> Thinking about ducks could actually be good
[20:44:30] <Wurlman> Quack quack
[20:44:43] <%RareCola> You want to have imagery thoughts basically, rather than analytic ones.
[20:44:44] <theCambino> wish I could change my color of text... but I don't want to DL kvirc :/
[20:45:15] <theCambino> can't tell if anyone answered my question
[20:45:17] <%Caenis> DaveTheJoker: Have you thought about using DDA?
[20:45:17] Exotiraan^ does the Dance of Temptation and tempts theCambino into installing KVirc.
[20:45:24] <theCambino> fack
[20:45:25] <@BuffaloBlue> a happy place is good, as long as it's not too exciting lol
[20:45:25] <Exotiraan^> You only have to do it once! : P
[20:45:33] <Wurlman> It's only 4 cool people
[20:45:40] <theCambino> Exotiraan^: not really my comp
[20:45:44] <%Oreoboy1996> theCambino: WILD is considered to be one of the most difficult techniques to master
[20:45:49] <theCambino> I share it with roomies
[20:46:00] <Exotiraan^> theCambino: In that case, install it to a Flash drive.
[20:46:13] <hathor28> so basically usings fingers
[20:46:15] <@BuffaloBlue> very true, the times I WILDed, it was lucky chance
[20:46:18] <hathor28> :\
[20:46:19] <theCambino> Oreoboy1996: but I keep being told to focus on WILD instead of FILD... because FILD isn't far from WILD
[20:46:26] <@BuffaloBlue> but the more you do it, the easier it becomes to repeat it
[20:46:27] <theCambino> hmmmm
[20:46:33] <%Oreoboy1996> well i don't know anything about FILD
[20:46:36] <theCambino> BuffaloBlue: understandable
[20:46:37] <%RareCola> WILD itself isn't hard, the mental preparation is.
[20:46:43] <TylerRoberts|BRB> !back
[20:46:43] TylerRoberts|BRB [[email protected]] is now known as TylerRoberts
[20:46:44] <theCambino> ^ yeah
[20:46:50] <hathor28> wb
[20:46:56] <@BuffaloBlue> wn tyler
[20:47:01] theCambino is still ready sageous' WILD work
[20:47:03] <DaveTheJoker> Caenis: yes
[20:47:06] <Exotiraan^> IIRC, my first LD was a WILD.
[20:47:12] <eMCLucid> Not sure if anyone suggested it yet, but if you have an iPhone/iTouch, you can set an event for an estimated REM period, and use a short "chime" to wake you up. You won't have to turn off the alarm. Last night I did this and woke up directly into SP.
[20:47:31] <theCambino> aids *rolls eyes*
[20:47:35] <Exotiraan^> WILDing was easier for me in 2010 because I split sleep.
[20:47:43] <theCambino> split sleep?
[20:47:52] <DaveTheJoker> would an alarm going on for 1 minute be bad for DEILDing?
[20:47:59] <@BuffaloBlue> oh hey hey!! ANNOUNCEMENT
[20:48:03] <theCambino> ...?
[20:48:07] <Exotiraan^> theCambino: I would sleep in two to four parts a day.
[20:48:09] <%RareCola> oh my
[20:48:11] <@BuffaloBlue> the Intro Class OFFICIALLY has mroe threads than any other class
[20:48:15] <theCambino> DaveTheJoker: yes because you'd have to actively turn it off
[20:48:18] <Exotiraan^> Usually just two or three.
[20:48:19] <%RareCola> WOO
[20:48:23] <%Caenis> Haha, that's great Ophelia!
[20:48:23] <DaveTheJoker> woot woot
[20:48:28] <@BuffaloBlue> because ours is the shiznit
[20:48:29] <theCambino> DaveTheJoker: or can you turn it off?
[20:48:37] <theCambino> BuffaloBlue: that's awesome!
[20:48:44] <@BuffaloBlue> ok [/announcement]
[20:48:46] <DaveTheJoker> it goes off automatically after a minute
[20:48:49] <theCambino> Exotiraan^: oh like a kitty cat?!
[20:48:54] <theCambino> DaveTheJoker: oh
[20:48:56] <%RareCola> A minute is far too long Dave
[20:48:58] <theCambino> DaveTheJoker: any shorter
[20:48:59] <DaveTheJoker> so if I wake up into SP
[20:49:00] <theCambino> ^ yeah
[20:49:04] <DaveTheJoker> I had to wait a minute
[20:49:07] <DaveTheJoker> for the alarm to go off
[20:49:08] <%Oreoboy1996> announcement?
[20:49:12] <%RareCola> if you really must use an alarm (which I wouldn't recommend), I'd say about 10 second maximum.
[20:49:14] <DaveTheJoker> and then some
[20:49:15] <Exotiraan^> Now'days, I only sleep in two parts on weekdays and single unicycles on weekends.
[20:49:25] <DaveTheJoker> RareCola: I guess I need a new alarm
[20:49:33] <theCambino> Exotiraan^: I've read about sleeping 6 nights a week
[20:49:35] <%Caenis> DaveTheJoker: That really depends on you. Some of my alarms last a minute, but I don't wake up to them. I sleep like a rock.
[20:49:39] <theCambino> for the same amount of hours
[20:49:44] <Exotiraan^> s/si\w+//
[20:50:07] <Exotiraan^> If I ever get work, though, that might turn into three-part sleep again.
[20:50:20] <theCambino> Exotiraan^: yeah
[20:50:20] <Exotiraan^> Or one, depending on if it is a night or morning job.
[20:50:36] <theCambino> forget alarms DaveTheJoker
[20:50:43] <theCambino> just learn to wake up naturally
[20:50:48] <DaveTheJoker> bah
[20:50:50] <theCambino> drink a shit ton of water
[20:50:59] <DaveTheJoker> bah
[20:51:00] <TylerRoberts> how do you teach yourself to wake normally?
[20:51:00] <theCambino> you bladder will wake you up
[20:51:02] <%RareCola> Water's no good if you're DEILDing
[20:51:07] <theCambino> RareCola: true
[20:51:08] <DaveTheJoker> ^
[20:51:18] <Exotiraan^> TylerRoberts: Going to bed at consistent times helps a lot.
[20:51:26] <%Caenis> TylerRoberts: Go to bed a little earlier, use mantras.
[20:51:27] <DaveTheJoker> well when I set my alarm Im setting it for an FILD
[20:51:29] <DaveTheJoker> attempt
[20:51:31] <theCambino> RareCola: but if you get in the habit of doing WBTB for say a week and then don't drink as much water
[20:51:41] <theCambino> you'll naturally be in habit of waking up those hours
[20:51:50] <%RareCola> Teaching yourself to wake up naturally is a process, can take a good few weeks to get down. You need to become aware to the point where you recognise each of the times you wake up in the night (which is after each dream period)
[20:51:56] <%RareCola> Mantas work well
[20:51:59] <DaveTheJoker> but my plans changed after I awoke into SP
[20:52:11] <DaveTheJoker> I figured I would surely DEILD
[20:52:14] <DaveTheJoker> co
[20:52:15] <%Oreoboy1996> luckily i naturally wake up naturally
[20:52:16] <Exotiraan^> TylerRoberts: You can also start off with using an alarm. Brain normally does not like to be woken up abruptly, so you will end up trying to beat the alarm awake.
[20:52:22] <theCambino> well I thought it was worth mentioning
[20:52:24] theCambino shrugs
[20:52:28] <%Oreoboy1996> not sure why
[20:52:37] <Exotiraan^> After that point, you stop using the alarm and do it on your own.
[20:52:39] <@BuffaloBlue> or if you have insomia like me, where I can get to sleep initially just fine, but I wake up alot in the early hours
[20:52:47] <@BuffaloBlue> having an early work schedule can so that
[20:52:53] <theCambino> in later hours I wake up naturally
[20:52:54] <theCambino> lately
[20:52:55] <@BuffaloBlue> do*
[20:53:18] <%RareCola> Yea, you can set an alarm for the first few days to get your mind in the routine of waking up approximately every 90 minutes
[20:53:32] <theCambino> well if you're like paige and me... we wake up minutes before the alarm goes off
[20:53:32] <DaveTheJoker> During what hours of sleep is one the most tired if he wakes up from?
[20:53:41] <DaveTheJoker> ^
[20:53:43] <DaveTheJoker> me too
[20:53:51] <theCambino> turn off your alarm
[20:53:55] <DaveTheJoker> no
[20:54:00] <theCambino> you already are in habit of waking those hours
[20:54:06] <%RareCola> ^
[20:54:11] <%Oreoboy1996> DaveTheJoker: probably the first hour
[20:54:12] <DaveTheJoker> I need it to FILD
[20:54:24] <theCambino> aside from trying FILD tonight... after tonight I am tossing my alarm
[20:54:26] <%RareCola> Thought you were having a week break this week Dave?
[20:54:27] <DaveTheJoker> Does dreaming occur in the first hour?
[20:54:29] <%Caenis> DaveTheJoker: Times that I'd be MOST tired from? Yeah, the first hour or two. If I get two hours of sleep, I'm dizzy and have headaches the rest of the day.
[20:54:38] <%Oreoboy1996> in my case, apparently it can
[20:54:43] <DaveTheJoker> RareCola: Break/chill LDing attempts
[20:54:51] <DaveTheJoker> nothing too serious
[20:54:59] <%RareCola> ah okay
[20:55:01] <DaveTheJoker> I woke up earlier today
[20:55:10] <%RareCola> Awesome
[20:55:11] <DaveTheJoker> so I should be able to fall asleep earlier
[20:55:16] <@BuffaloBlue> sorry DaveTheJoker, I meant to tell you something last night but forgot until this morning
[20:55:25] <DaveTheJoker> shoot
[20:55:32] <@BuffaloBlue> when I set my alarm for the snooze technique that I was talkign about,
[20:55:38] <@BuffaloBlue> I only set it for 5:30am
[20:55:40] <%Oreoboy1996> for some reason today feels like two days
[20:55:41] Exotiraan^ has been being naughty and going to bed these last two weeks at 0100 to 0300 in the morning.
[20:55:48] <Exotiraan^> (Last night: 0600)
[20:55:51] <@BuffaloBlue> I automatically wake up after each REM cycle after that
[20:55:51] <DaveTheJoker> BuffaloBlue: jog my memory
[20:55:54] <DaveTheJoker> what were we talking about
[20:56:07] <@BuffaloBlue> read up
[20:56:12] <Exotiraan^> But my dream recall is still better than it is when I try to go to bed at 2300.
[20:56:22] <theCambino> 2300 is military time
[20:56:23] <@BuffaloBlue> amen Exotiraan^
[20:56:24] <theCambino>
[20:56:34] <@BuffaloBlue> if I go to bed at 2300 at the latest, I do the best
[20:56:44] <%Oreoboy1996> theCambino: it still tells time at least
[20:56:49] <theCambino> it does
[20:57:01] <%RareCola> 24-hour clocks are pretty standard in the UK

[01:58] Caenis: Hello RareCola, Ophelia.
[01:58] Caenis was promoted to half-operator by OpheliaBlue.
[01:58] DaveTheJoker: nice bike OpheliaBlue
[01:58] OpheliaBlue: Hey Caenis
[01:58] RareCola: Oh that's really cool, very old-school
[01:58] DaveTheJoker: I want an old school bike
[01:59] OpheliaBlue: it has this amazing suspension
[01:59] RareCola: I'm a pretty big nerd when it comes to cycling. Nothing like riding on an open road on a summer's day
[01:59] RareCola: Great for dream inspiration too
[01:59] DaveTheJoker: yea I need a road bike
[01:59] OpheliaBlue: no matter what I ride over, I just bounce a little and it feels like I went over something smooth
[01:59] OpheliaBlue: you are RareCola? cool
[01:59] DaveTheJoker: I hate huffing it around town on my mountain bike
[01:59] RareCola: I have a hybrid, best of both worlds
[02:00] DaveTheJoker: yea mine is so heavy

[02:02] OpheliaBlue: well in my dream, the one with RareCola actually haha
[02:02] theCambino: learning to lucid dream consistantly...?
[02:03] Caenis: Hello xanous and Traumerei.
[02:03] theCambino: burke's not here?
[02:03] xanous: Hello. I finaly joined a chat. Late though.
[02:03] OpheliaBlue: you know the part where I said we just both took a nap on the couch? It was like two old farts just randomly fallign asleep on the couch
[02:03] RareCola: Haha oh god
[02:03] OpheliaBlue: I could feel our arms touch, just barely (this is non sexual, just random),
[02:03] DaveTheJoker: did you do a dj?
[02:03] DaveTheJoker: on DV
[02:04] Caenis: Ha, no worries xanous. It's never too late to join a chat. Happy that you joined us today!
[02:04] OpheliaBlue: well, the weord part was, as I was waking up, I could still feel an arm touching mine, for the longest time, but I was alone
[02:04] xanous: Thanks
[02:04] Exotiraan^: Caenis: I'm (sort-of) here.
[02:04] DaveTheJoker: !dj OpheliaBlue
[02:04] iBot: Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views - OpheliaBlue - Dream Journals
[02:04] RareCola: Next lucid goal of me is to conjure a dream character in a lucid as I never really have DCs in lucids, so I may try conjuring you for the fun of it, Lisa
[02:04] Exotiraan^: (Writing an audio bridge daemon.)
[02:04] Caenis: All right. Well feel free to keep popping in and out I guess.
[02:04] OpheliaBlue: it's happened to me before in other dreams, where I can still feel something like that
[02:04] RareCola: &oh I love when dream sensations extend into waking life
[02:05] OpheliaBlue: sorry DaveTheJoker, I posted a clip in the share your dreams thread, not my DJ
[02:05] DaveTheJoker: ahhhh
[02:05] OpheliaBlue: haha conjure away.. and yeah, the extened sensations are so weird
[02:05] RareCola: Oh my god, Alex is a sexy motherfucker
[02:05] OpheliaBlue: or sucky if they're painful, like when my hand gets bit
[02:05] RareCola: http://www.dreamviews.com/f18/cant-s...7/#post1913257
[02:06] Alex: OpheliaBlue, #staff
[02:06] DaveTheJoker: lol
[02:06] OpheliaBlue: ok
[02:06] OpheliaBlue: brb guys
[02:06] OpheliaBlue: !brb
[02:06] OpheliaBlue is now known as OpheliaBlue|BRB.
[02:06] xanous: Hey OpheliaBlue so how does 5HTP help you? How do you take it? I took two lastnight with a meletonin and it didnt do much
[02:06] xanous: bleh
[02:06] Caenis: Amazing, thanks Alex!
[02:07] DaveTheJoker: this teacher must be in the union
[02:07] DaveTheJoker: leaving us during class
[02:07] DaveTheJoker: lol
[02:07] theCambino: lol
[02:07] RareCola: Haha
[02:07] xanous: lol
[02:07] xanous: Anyone else use 5HTP?
[02:07] Caenis: I know 5HTP helps with lucidity. I think that it produced melatonin or something, right RareCola?
[02:08] RareCola: Yea, something like that
[02:08] Caenis: It's a precursor or something to melatonin.
[02:08] DaveTheJoker: what is 5HTP
[02:08] xanous: oh so maybe i should not take meletonin with it?
[02:08] RareCola: It definitely works, but I never use supplements. Plus I don't think supplements work too well unless you're already decent at lucid dreaming and just want to ensure that you will lucid.
[02:09] RareCola: For example, Ophelia takes 5HTP to break dry spells
[02:09] theCambino: we come up with a topic...?
[02:09] DaveTheJoker: no
[02:09] Caenis: It's a little redundant to take melatonin with it, so you could try 5HTP by itself and see how it works.
[02:09] xanous: I see
[02:09] RareCola: Yea, don't want to be taking melatonin with 5HTP
[02:10] RareCola: Be careful with supplements too, don't take it too often or too much of it at once.
[02:10] Caenis: xanous: I also know Ophelia has mentioned that 5HTP only worked for a limited amount of time for her. The effectiveness wore off for her, but I think some people do take it regularly.
[02:10] DaveTheJoker: my dog is staring at me
[02:10] DaveTheJoker: !brb
[02:10] DaveTheJoker is now known as DaveTheJoker|BRB.
[02:10] RareCola: Precisely, Caenis
[02:10] xanous: I only read a little on that I guess I got confused bc somehow I thought you were supposed to take meletonin with it. Im guilty of just taking a bunch of supplements and see what happens. :X
[02:10] RareCola: And, if you take supplements too regularly your body will become dependant on them and stop naturally producing melatonin
[02:11] Caenis: That I didn't realize.
[02:11] xanous: Yeah I get that. I never take the same regularly. I would rather not but I havent been able to produce a lucid in a while.
[02:11] theCambino: blahhh supplements.
[02:11] RareCola: Yep, I know of one person that took supplements every night to try and have lucids, then they couldn't sleep at all unless they took them
[02:12] thedanknight joined the chat room.
[02:12] xanous: oh thats no good
[02:12] Caenis: Hello thedanknight.
[02:12] thedanknight: hello
[02:12] theCambino: immunity
[02:12] RareCola: How many lucids have you had, xanous?
[02:12] Exotiraan^: killall alsa_out
[02:13] theCambino: immunity and addiction to supplements is terrible
[02:13] Caenis: Oh xanous, milk and cheese have something (tryptophan?) that helps to induce LDs. So that's a more natural way of increasing your chances of having LDs.
[02:13] theCambino: RareCola: that wouldn't happen to apple juice would it?
[02:13] Caenis: I have no idea which cheeses work best though, somewhere on the Internet that information exists though.
[02:13] xanous: Well I lost count. I got into it in 2006. But I have been bad about abandoning my practices due to stress or life changing events.
[02:13] RareCola: Nope, theCambino
[02:14] RareCola: xanous: So you've had a decent amount of lucids and know what they feel like, then?
[02:14] theCambino: phewww
[02:14] xanous: Oh yes for sure
[02:14] theCambino: good
[02:14] OpheliaBlue|BRB: brb in a bit, sorry for the wait guys
[02:14] theCambino: np OpheliaBlue|BRB
[02:14] Exotiraan^: Apparantly, apple juice was a LD- or dream recall-enhancer, according to Oreoboy. But it has to be real apple juice. Not that "from concentrate" bullshit.
[02:14] Caenis: No worries Ophelia!
[02:14] RareCola: Well in that case I would recommend trying 5HTP on its own to break your dry spell. As you know what it feels like you may have some success re-inducing them.
[02:15] xanous: How many rarecola?
[02:15] kraom joined the chat room.
[02:15] RareCola: Yep precisely, you need the apple juice which isn't see-through / pee-coloured.
[02:15] Caenis: Hello kraom.
[02:15] Traumerei: Does soymilk work just as well as milk?
[02:15] Caenis: No idea.
[02:15] RareCola: xanous: What's the dosage with your 5HTP pills?
[02:15] thedanknight: nuts and seeds have tryptophan in them.
[02:16] DaveTheJoker|BRB: !back

[02:16] OpheliaBlue|BRB: !back
[02:16] OpheliaBlue|BRB is now known as OpheliaBlue.
[02:16] RareCola: Then I'd recommend just 1 or 2, I think
[02:16] RareCola: ah ophelia's here now
[02:16] OpheliaBlue: thanks RareCola and Caenis
[02:16] RareCola: How much 5HTP do you take to break a dry spell, Ophelia?
[02:17] Traumerei left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 90 seconds)
[02:17] OpheliaBlue: I just take one pill, but I forget the mg, hold on I'll check

[02:18] mattyd left the chat room. ("")
[02:18] kraom left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 90 seconds)
[02:18] OpheliaBlue: ok one pill is 100mg
[02:18] xanous: hmmm.... I'll give it another night or two on the 5-HTP alone and see
[02:18] OpheliaBlue: but I think some places offer it in 50mg
[02:18] RareCola: Yea, so just 1 pill should do it, xanous
[02:18] Traumerei joined the chat room.
[02:18] xanous: ok
[02:18] OpheliaBlue: I find it works best if I use it once a month, let it get out of my system so the effect is better
[02:18] xanous: Do you take it at bed time or WBTB?
[02:19] OpheliaBlue: also, i'm thinking of cycling suppliments
[02:19] RareCola: Don't forget to keep up your generic lucid dreaming practices too though, awareness skills, MILDs, etc.
[02:19] theCambino: !brb
[02:19] theCambino is now known as theCambino|BRB.
[02:19] OpheliaBlue: I knooooow, Jason is rolling his eyes right now
[02:19] RareCola: Haha
[02:19] theCambino|BRB: I am too ^
[02:19] theCambino|BRB: blahhh
[02:19] OpheliaBlue: and he's right, keep up the real techniques
[02:19] • theCambino|BRB is a purest.
[02:19] OpheliaBlue: but I probably don't get enough of the proper supplements in my diet as it is, so I thought, why not take them before bed instead of in the mroning, benefit off the effect on dreams
[02:20] xanous: I will. I have been better with the RCs today. Not as lazy. I have a little more drive.
[02:20] Caenis: I'm not theCambino|BRB. I'll cheat occasionally. =p
[02:20] lucidius joined the chat room.
[02:20] OpheliaBlue: however my GOAL, is to scrap them all together.. hell, 5-htp is expensive
[02:20] Caenis: That's good xanous! So what's driving you today?
[02:20] Caenis: Hello lucidius.
[02:20] lucidius: hia
[02:21] RareCola: You know, I barely ever reality check these days. Maybe a couple of times a day.
[02:21] lucidius: is this clas?
[02:21] xanous: The fact that I want my wings back lol
[02:21] Caenis: Yes lucidius, the intro class.
[02:21] DaveTheJoker|BRB: !back
[02:21] DaveTheJoker|BRB is now known as DaveTheJoker.
[02:21] theCambino^ joined the chat room.
[02:21] OpheliaBlue: lol lucidius
[02:21] DaveTheJoker: oh shit
[02:21] DaveTheJoker: !brb
[02:21] DaveTheJoker is now known as DaveTheJoker|BRB.
[02:21] theCambino^: ...back
[02:21] Caenis: Oh right! You going for the advanced challenge?
[02:21] theCambino^: what's iBot's deal o_0
[02:22] xanous: No that one seems a bit too much. I can ever leave earth. I dont know why.
[02:22] xanous: cnat
[02:22] xanous: bah can't
[02:22] lucidius: i still just want to fly
[02:22] theCambino|BRB left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 90 seconds)
[02:22] Caenis: Yeah, that's understandable. That'd be an awesome LD though, dating aliens.
[02:22] xanous: I love to fly but if I go too high I loose my grounding and get lost and wake up
[02:23] OpheliaBlue: xanous: you don't have to leave earth persay, you can use a portal
[02:23] theCambino^: ...soooo about dry spells
[02:23] OpheliaBlue: like a mirror for example
[02:23] DaveTheJoker|BRB: dry spells
[02:23] DaveTheJoker|BRB: !back
[02:23] DaveTheJoker|BRB is now known as DaveTheJoker.
[02:23] OpheliaBlue: yes, dry spells are shitty
[02:23] theCambino^: dry spells
[02:23] lucidius: ya dry spells
[02:23] DaveTheJoker: dry spells
[02:23] DaveTheJoker: fuckin suck
[02:23] xanous: Ah yes portals are so unpredictable. I guess its all in your amount of control
[02:23] RareCola: Advanced task is really difficult for me this time too, scene changes and dream characters are pretty unexplored territory for me.
[02:23] theCambino^: I've only had a count of uno... but I am still dealing with a dry spell
[02:24] lucidius: i have one right now too
[02:24] xanous: So are dry spells common with everyone?
[02:24] DaveTheJoker: RareCola : I tried not using alarms last night
[02:24] RareCola: I wouldn't really call it a dry spell after only 1 lucid, more of a lack of self-knowledge to find the methods that work for you
[02:24] OpheliaBlue: xanous: it's helpful to create a combination for your destination, helps with the unpredictability
[02:24] RareCola: Oh did you DaveTheJoker? How did that go?
[02:24] DaveTheJoker: failure
[02:24] RareCola: Haha, to be expected on the first night
[02:24] DaveTheJoker: I actually woke up
[02:25] DaveTheJoker: and closed my window
[02:25] DaveTheJoker: but I was a zombie
[02:25] OpheliaBlue: lol
[02:25] DaveTheJoker: I thought about writing down the dream that I remembered
[02:25] DaveTheJoker: but I couldnt bring myself to do it
[02:25] xanous: Ophelia what do you mena combination?
[02:25] DaveTheJoker: now I remember no dreams
[02:25] RareCola: Well you woke up, that's one step
[02:25] RareCola: Keep at it and next time set your intentions of doing better
[02:25] RareCola: on*
[02:26] DaveTheJoker: I am just pissed off because so many people have recall naturally
[02:26] lucidius: you are trying to wbtb?
[02:26] DaveTheJoker: and I have dismal
[02:26] DaveTheJoker: recal when I am trying
[02:26] theCambino^: ...back
[02:26] theCambino^: derp
[02:26] RareCola: I find the harder you try, the less recall you have
[02:26] lucidius: hmm
[02:26] DaveTheJoker: I hate paradoxes
[02:27] DaveTheJoker: unforchunately life is a paradox
[02:27] RareCola: Thing is you don't want to "try", you should just expect it to happen without effort.
[02:28] OpheliaBlue: well said
[02:28] RareCola: Plus, doubt and negative thoughts are much more powerful that positive ones, so if you have any doubts of recall/lucidity happening, it's pretty likely that it won't
[02:28] theCambino^: you're pretty much right RareCola .... but even with only one... I can utilize the information on how to deal with dry spells
[02:28] lucidius: so the mid range of content efort is the best spot
[02:28] DaveTheJoker: so pretty much
[02:28] OpheliaBlue: yeah in health class in high school, they told us you need 10 positive thoughts to erase 1 negative one
[02:28] DaveTheJoker: I am fucked
[02:28] OpheliaBlue: ^^
[02:28] OpheliaBlue: again with the negative self talk
[02:29] theCambino^: yeah think positive
[02:29] theCambino^: confidence
[02:29] theCambino^: patience
[02:29] RareCola: This is why I suggested you take a week break to clear out all the negative thoughts.
[02:29] theCambino^: ^
[02:29] lucidius: its hard thinking positive for me
[02:29] DaveTheJoker: I have an endless supply of negative thoughts
[02:29] lucidius: exacyly
[02:29] DaveTheJoker: oops
[02:30] DaveTheJoker: another negative thought
[02:30] OpheliaBlue: oh shit, rain and cat's outside
[02:30] OpheliaBlue: !brb
[02:30] OpheliaBlue is now known as OpheliaBlue|BRB.
[02:30] RareCola: Thoughts are pretty easy to control
[02:30] DaveTheJoker: but critiqueing that was negative
[02:30] Caenis left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 90 seconds)
[02:30] RareCola: Awareness comes into play again. Not only do you need to be aware of the outside world and it's happenings, you need to be aware of your self.. this includes your thoughts.
[02:31] lucidius: so whats the best way to deal with dry spells?
[02:31] DaveTheJoker: I am sort of aware
[02:31] DaveTheJoker: but not in control
[02:31] fennecgirl joined the chat room.
[02:31] DaveTheJoker: Awareness is different than control
[02:31] theCambino^: use mantras errr positive affirmations to start thinking positive
[02:31] DaveTheJoker: LOL
[02:31] theCambino^: I cereal
[02:31] RareCola: I posted this dry-spell killer guide in the tutorials & resources compilation thread: Ending A Dry Spell - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
[02:31] DaveTheJoker: You can't tell yourself to think positice
[02:31] fennecgirl: Sorry I'm late! Is it okay if I join in now?
[02:31] DaveTheJoker: *postive
[02:31] theCambino^: I am serious*
[02:32] DaveTheJoker: RareCola : thanks
[02:32] RareCola: hey fennecgirl! Perfectly fine
[02:32] xanous: Attitude is a choice. You CAN chose to be positive.
[02:32] theCambino^: RareCola: thanks... bookmarked
[02:32] theCambino^: ^ what xanous said
[02:33] theCambino^: possitive affirmations... like say a note on your mirror in the bathroom... will remind you to be positive
[02:33] lucidius: so simply positivity is the best way to combat dry spells then?
[02:33] RareCola: Pretty much
[02:33] lucidius: i will keep that in mind
[02:33] theCambino^: confidence and patience... and positive thinking. yes.
[02:33] RareCola: Being motivated, patient and positive is the best way
[02:33] theCambino^: ^
[02:33] xanous: ^^^^Good thought
[02:34] theCambino^: ...?
[02:34] lucidius: my motivation isnt that great right now
[02:34] Caenis joined the chat room.
[02:34] Caenis was granted voice by DreamBot.
[02:34] theCambino^: alan watts' lectures are helpful to motivation
[02:34] theCambino^:
[02:34] Traumerei: Same lucidius..
[02:34] RareCola: Best way to build motivation, I've found, is to read over old lucids and really take your time to recall every part of how it felt.
[02:34] RareCola: welcome back Caenis
[02:34] Caenis: Thanks.
[02:34] theCambino^: wb Caenis
[02:34] theCambino^: tuslo
[02:35] Caenis: I agree with RareCola. I like reading over my old LDs. Or reading over other people's. Hyu's are amazing.
[02:35] theCambino^: hukifs are too
[02:35] Caenis: Yes.
[02:36] OpheliaBlue|BRB: !back
[02:36] OpheliaBlue|BRB is now known as OpheliaBlue.
[02:36] OpheliaBlue: I am so sorry for all the interruptions
[02:36] DaveTheJoker: I amment eating enough sugar
[02:36] RareCola: How's the cat?
[02:36] DaveTheJoker: that is why I aint lucid dreaming
[02:36] lucidius: be posotivly motivated
[02:36] DaveTheJoker: !away to find sugar
[02:36] DaveTheJoker is now known as DaveTheJoker|Away.
[02:36] OpheliaBlue: very wet lol.. and I got a claw implanted in my left cheek
[02:36] theCambino^: what am I saying Hukif doesn't have a DJ
[02:36] theCambino^: derp
[02:36] RareCola: Haha
[02:37] theCambino^: his posts are motivational though
[02:37] OpheliaBlue: but that's why god created antibiotic ointment
[02:37] Caenis: Hukif has a DJ at another site.
[02:37] lucidius: lol ophilia
[02:37] theCambino^: Caenis: oh?
[02:37] lucidius: i should probably go
[02:37] OpheliaBlue: I miss Hukif, very insightful
[02:37] theCambino^: ...? why
[02:37] theCambino^: OpheliaBlue: agreed
[02:38] OpheliaBlue: ok see ya lucidius
[02:38] lucidius: see ya
[02:38] theCambino^: later
[02:38] lucidius left the chat room. (Client exited)
[02:38] Caenis: theCambino^: I think he was at that other site initially. Can't remember which site that was though.
[02:38] OpheliaBlue: xanous: me?
[02:38] theCambino^: Caenis: hmm
[02:38] xanous: Yeah sorry I dont know my chat commands its been a long time
[02:38] theCambino^: interesting
[02:38] RareCola: DreamViews seems to attract so many insightful, interesting people. I've learnt so much in my 2 months, and not just about lucid dreaming.
[02:38] theCambino^: ^ same
[02:39] Caenis: Yes. I know too much about other people's fapping habits now.
[02:39] • Caenis shakes his head.
[02:39] Traumerei: Whoa there.
[02:39] theCambino^: lawls Caenis
[02:39] OpheliaBlue: xanous: when I take 5-htp, it's 100mg just before bed. When I have taken b6 in the past, it was independant of the 5-htp. Haven't experimented with both yet.
[02:39] RareCola: haha Caenis
[02:39] OpheliaBlue: I plan to try rotating the 2 and seeing what happens
[02:39] theCambino^: RareCola: I had no idea you were so new to DV
[02:39] Traumerei: Now we know what he's reading.
[02:40] xanous: Oh ok thanks. How did you get the red text and beep?
[02:40] theCambino^: RareCola: fwiw.... welcome!
[02:40] OpheliaBlue: just not every night.. I don't want it to be a crutch.. if it does become a cruth, I'm srapping them
[02:40] theCambino^:
[02:40] RareCola: Yep, I only started lucid dreaming about a week before I joined DV. I'm a newbie too
[02:40] Caenis: xanous: You just type the person's name in, and it pings them.
[02:40] Caenis: So you'll get that red text and beep each time your name is typed. xanous
[02:40] theCambino^: RareCola: oh damn... and I've been asking you like you've been at it for years.
[02:40] xanous: caenis thanks
[02:41] OpheliaBlue: or hit the first few letters of a name, an hit tab
[02:41] theCambino^: @_@ assumptions
[02:41] fennecgirl left the chat room. (Quit: Page closed)
[02:41] xanous: Caenis: ooooohhhh OK
[02:41] OpheliaBlue: as long as it's not too similar as another user's name
[02:41] RareCola: haha
[02:41] xanous: I get it I get it lol
[02:42] xanous: OK I have to go. Thanks all for being so helpful!
[02:42] theCambino^: later xanous
[02:42] Traumerei: Bye xanous.
[02:42] Caenis: Bye xanous, have a good night.
[02:42] RareCola: Cya xanous
[02:42] OpheliaBlue: ok, other ways to end a dry spell, sorry if it was covered, but change sleep environments
[02:42] OpheliaBlue: ok bye xanous
[02:42] theCambino^: OpheliaBlue: that I tried today
[02:42] RareCola: Ah yes, your sleeping environment is very important
[02:42] theCambino^: I've been cleaning up my room
[02:42] xanous: OpheliaBlue: yes I have noticed that before
[02:42] OpheliaBlue: theCambino^: results?
[02:42] DaveTheJoker|Away: !back
[02:42] DaveTheJoker|Away is now known as DaveTheJoker.
[02:42] DaveTheJoker: with ice cream
[02:42] xanous: OK bye
[02:42] xanous left the chat room. (Quit: Page closed)
[02:42] theCambino^: OpheliaBlue: just starting cleaning today
[02:43] theCambino^: OpheliaBlue: I'll let you know tomorrow
[02:43] OpheliaBlue: cleaning?
[02:43] • Caenis takes DaveTheJoker's ice cream.
[02:43] OpheliaBlue: da fuq you talkin bout
[02:43] theCambino^: well unpacking rather
[02:43] • DaveTheJoker begins to cry
[02:43] Traumerei: Does sleeping on a hard surface have any benefits over a soft one?
[02:43] theCambino^: OpheliaBlue: sleeping environment
[02:43] • Caenis gives DaveTheJoker one spoonful of ice cream, and keeps the rest.
[02:43] OpheliaBlue: you just started unpacing your sleeping envoronment?
[02:44] OpheliaBlue: unpacking*
[02:44] DaveTheJoker: While taking out the trash I realized my problem
[02:44] OpheliaBlue: lol I think I know what you mean, not 100%
[02:44] theCambino^: OpheliaBlue: I just recently moved into a new place two weeks aho
[02:44] RareCola: Traumerei: That's all personal, I feel. You'll get people telling you sleeping on a hard mattress helps with lucidity because of being less comfortable, but I don't necessarily believe that.
[02:44] DaveTheJoker: I haven't had bacon
[02:44] OpheliaBlue: ohhhhhh
[02:44] DaveTheJoker: NO bacon= No dreams
[02:44] OpheliaBlue: lol
[02:44] theCambino^: OpheliaBlue: my room has been crowded and unorganized...
[02:44] theCambino^: bacon!
[02:44] Caenis: Traumerei: I think that depends on the person. Some people prefer softer beds. Some people find a wee bit of discomfort helpful in having LDs.
[02:45] Caenis: Oh, RareCola answered. Well, I'll make my Mac stop lagging now.
[02:45] OpheliaBlue: ohhhh were we talking about the uncluttered sleep environment?
[02:45] OpheliaBlue: before/
[02:45] OpheliaBlue: ?
[02:45] theCambino^: ?
[02:45] RareCola: Yes Lisa, well done. /slow claps
[02:45] Traumerei: Caenis: Yeah, I've read a few guides where they tell you to be slightly uncomfortable.
[02:45] DaveTheJoker: reading before bed might be doing me in too
[02:45] theCambino^: I thought a sleep environment in general was what we were discussing
[02:46] DaveTheJoker: actually reading inn bed I mean
[02:46] Traumerei: I'll try sleeping on the floor during my WBTB tonight. For science.
[02:46] DaveTheJoker: I need a chair
[02:46] theCambino^: what "sleep environment" were we talking about?
[02:46] Caenis: For science! Good man(?) Traumerei.
[02:46] theCambino^: o_0
[02:46] thedanknight: what if you were to change the room you sleep in
[02:46] Caenis: Let us know how sleeping on the floor goes.
[02:46] theCambino^: sleeping on the floor at times is nice.
[02:46] Traumerei: Lol, I will.
[02:46] RareCola: It'll probably be cold and uncomfortable with no affect on lucidity
[02:46] RareCola: haha
[02:47] theCambino^: thedanknight: that's probably what we were talking about
[02:47] RareCola: Lay perfectly still and you may WILD though, the uncomfortableness could be an awareness anchor
[02:47] theCambino^: rearranging the room?
[02:47] Traumerei: Rarecola: It's hot in my room, so the wood floor usually is refreshing to lay on.
[02:47] theCambino^: ^
[02:48] theCambino^: it's hot in mine... but I have carpet
[02:48] Caenis: Ah. My recall drops if my room is too hot. Maybe the floor would be a good option then.
[02:48] theCambino^: water helps recall
[02:48] DaveTheJoker: I got mad at my matre
[02:48] DaveTheJoker: mattress
[02:48] thedanknight left the chat room. (Quit: Page closed)
[02:48] Traumerei: Drinking a lot of it during the day?
[02:48] DaveTheJoker: and put an air mattress on top of it
[02:48] theCambino^: brain has poor memory if it's dehydrated
[02:48] RareCola: Water helps everything
[02:48] theCambino^: #fact
[02:48] Caenis: He means drinking it before bed, Traumerei. Helps for a WBTB.
[02:48] DaveTheJoker: and for ONE night my recall improved
[02:49] Caenis: I assume.
[02:49] theCambino^: anytime... even while writing in your DJ
[02:49] theCambino^: you drink water
[02:49] RareCola: you slept on 2 mattresses, DaveTheJoker?
[02:49] RareCola: Must have been high up, lol
[02:49] RareCola: I usually drink a half glass of water during my WBTB
[02:49] Traumerei: He's posh enough for two mattresses.
[02:50] DaveTheJoker: RareCola : yea
[02:50] theCambino^: lul
[02:50] DaveTheJoker: it was pretty high
[02:50] OpheliaBlue left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 90 seconds)
[02:50] DaveTheJoker: I figured it would make me more aware
[02:50] theCambino^: ha
[02:50] Caenis: DaveTheJoker: I figured you would just put the air mattress on the ground.
[02:50] DaveTheJoker: no room in my room
[02:51] Caenis: Ah, that explains it.
[02:51] RareCola: Sleep outside your door
[02:51] theCambino^: lol
[02:51] DaveTheJoker: lol
[02:51] theCambino^: sleep outside
[02:51] theCambino^: for that matter
[02:51] DaveTheJoker: lol
[02:51] theCambino^: in a tent maybe
[02:51] DaveTheJoker: when we bring the trailer back
[02:51] DaveTheJoker: I am gonna sleep in that
[02:51] RareCola: I'd imagine camping would be quite good for lucidity actually
[02:51] Caenis: You need to push your parents out of their bed and use it for a night DaveTheJoker. =p Tell them you need it more than they do.
[02:51] DaveTheJoker: I always dream when I am sleeping in the airstream
[02:52] DaveTheJoker: Caenis : lol
[02:52] theCambino^: I am curious to the results of camping... next camping trip I am going to hold off on the booze and greens
[02:52] DaveTheJoker: they'll say "No, that hard bed is fittin' for youngin's
[02:52] OpheliaBlue joined the chat room.

[02:52] RareCola: Welcome back
[02:52] theCambino^: wb OpheliaBlue
[02:52] Caenis was promoted to half-operator by OpheliaBlue.
[02:52] OpheliaBlue: dayamn
[02:53] OpheliaBlue: must be the storm
[02:53] OpheliaBlue: sorry yet again
[02:53] theCambino^: having a tacoking moment?
[02:53] OpheliaBlue: I think so haha
[02:53] theCambino^: lawls
[02:53] theCambino^: wish I had a/c
[02:53] DaveTheJoker: where you at, theCambino^
[02:54] theCambino^: cold environments are good for dreaming
[02:54] theCambino^: DaveTheJoker: where... is where?
[02:54] theCambino^: Oregon...?
[02:54] RareCola: I tend to find I have worse recall when I'm cold, actually
[02:54] OpheliaBlue: cold environments are just good for sleeping in general I believe
[02:54] OpheliaBlue: really?
[02:54] DaveTheJoker: whats the weather like in oregon
[02:54] Traumerei: No air cond in Oregon?
[02:54] theCambino^: OpheliaBlue: actually I think that is correct
[02:54] OpheliaBlue: when I'm hot I toss and turn and sleep is no where to be found
[02:54] theCambino^: Traumerei: what? no... no a/c in my apartment
[02:54] DaveTheJoker: ^
[02:54] Caenis: I'm the same OpheliaBlue.
[02:54] OpheliaBlue: but I'm sure, as with everything else, it depends on the individual
[02:55] theCambino^: I sweat when it's hot
[02:55] DaveTheJoker: heat makes me uncomfotable
[02:55] OpheliaBlue: it's important to be CONFORTABLE
[02:55] theCambino^: wake up in sweat suck
[02:55] theCambino^: s
[02:55] RareCola: Actually, I think either drastically hot or cold is bad for recall
[02:55] Traumerei: I get weird dreams when I get too hot while sleeping.
[02:55] OpheliaBlue: crap
[02:55] OpheliaBlue: COMFORTABLE
[02:55] OpheliaBlue:
[02:55] theCambino^: lol
[02:55] OpheliaBlue: and Jason lives where butts tend to freeze, so warmer is more confortable
[02:55] DaveTheJoker: if its hot I have to take off my shirt
[02:55] DaveTheJoker: and that is unfomfortable
[02:55] Caenis: Well of course being drastically cold or hot is bad. But if it's cold, you just get some blankets and it's suddenly quite cozy.
[02:55] OpheliaBlue: yeah I slept shirtless last night
[02:55] theCambino^: DaveTheJoker: 85°F and sunny
[02:55] OpheliaBlue: I had no choise, it was so bad
[02:56] DaveTheJoker: yea
[02:56] OpheliaBlue: choice PBnJ damnit
[02:56] RareCola: I remember when we had a week of heat in the UK, it sucked because I was trying to DEILD (and eventually succeeded) but I woke up and just laid there, in the immense heat, unable to move the sheets off me.
[02:56] DaveTheJoker: I am not one to sleep without my shorts an t shirt
[02:56] Caenis: I always like sleeping without a shirt. I feel less constrained that way.
[02:56] theCambino^: yeah yeah yeah "85°F that's no big deal" ...actually it is.
[02:56] DaveTheJoker: its just makes me uncomfortable for some reason
[02:56] OpheliaBlue: yeah, the extremes suck.. I know ehn it's too cold, because my nose will be cold and impossible to warm it again
[02:57] OpheliaBlue: it just, stays cold and I can't sleep
[02:57] DaveTheJoker: the worst is going to bed extremely hot and waking up freezing
[02:57] theCambino^: lol yeah
[02:57] OpheliaBlue: yeah, freezing sweats
[02:57] DaveTheJoker: like what happens at the deer camp
[02:57] DaveTheJoker: the woodstove goes out
[02:57] DaveTheJoker: and it gets cold cold
[02:57] theCambino^: damn
[02:57] RareCola: I have pretty sucky circulation for some reason so my feet turn to blocks of ice when it's too cold. Horrible to try and get to sleep.
[02:57] OpheliaBlue: if the deer can withstand it, you can dave
[02:57] DaveTheJoker: not quite
[02:57] theCambino^: ^
[02:58] Traumerei: Be a deer.
[02:58] Caenis: Deer have fur. Dave would need to be extremely hairy to compete.
[02:58] DaveTheJoker: I dont have fur
[02:58] RareCola: Be one with the deer.
[02:58] DaveTheJoker: well I do have fur
[02:58] DaveTheJoker: but not that much
[02:58] RareCola: Become the deer!
[02:58] theCambino^: ^ luls
[02:58] DaveTheJoker: I need a deer carcass
[02:58] RareCola: use it as a sleeping bag
[02:58] theCambino^: deer headress
[02:58] DaveTheJoker: yea
[02:58] Traumerei: Gotta bounce, bye guys!
[02:58] DaveTheJoker: bye
[02:59] theCambino^: later Traumerei
[02:59] Caenis: Bye Traumerei.
[02:59] RareCola: Thanks for coming
[02:59] Traumerei left the chat room. (Quit: Page closed)
[02:59] DaveTheJoker: plus the humidity kills my nose
[02:59] OpheliaBlue: lol
[02:59] DaveTheJoker: IDK why I even deer hunt
[02:59] Caenis: Because deer are tasty.
[02:59] DaveTheJoker: no they arent
[02:59] Caenis: Yes they are.
[02:59] OpheliaBlue: hey RareCola or Caenis, are you able to retrieve the whole class from tonight? I got booted earlier
[02:59] DaveTheJoker: not the ones I have eaten
[02:59] theCambino^: yeah they are
[02:59] RareCola: I should be able to
[03:00] theCambino^: elk too
[03:00] OpheliaBlue: ok thanks
[03:00] Caenis: I can't. =/
[03:00] Caenis: Thanks RareCola.

[20:00:38] <@OpheliaBlue> hey guys!
[20:00:57] <fennecgirl> hello!
[20:01:01] <theCambino> quick question... can any one think of another name for this >>> http://www.buyfurnitureyoulove.org/u...able_17060.png
[20:01:09] <@OpheliaBlue> I immediately have to pee because RareCola had me tied up for an hour
[20:01:11] <@OpheliaBlue> !brb
[20:01:12] OpheliaBlue [[email protected]] is now known as OpheliaBlue|BRB
[20:01:26] <%RareCola> That sounds bad in another context
[20:01:35] <kraom> thats kind of what I thought
[20:01:36] <kraom> lol
[20:01:42] <%RareCola> &Hey fennecgirl, back for another class?
[20:01:47] <theCambino> I can't think of a name.... it's like an island but apart of the counter
[20:01:49] wana^ [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Ping timeout: 90 seconds
[20:01:50] <fennecgirl> yep
[20:02:01] <kraom> i couldnt come to the last one
[20:02:08] <kraom> D: kept saying i was already logged in
[20:02:09] <fennecgirl> and I'm on time today!
[20:02:11] <kraom> or something
[20:02:45] <@OpheliaBlue|BRB> !back
[20:02:45] OpheliaBlue|BRB [[email protected]] is now known as OpheliaBlue
[20:03:05] <theCambino> guess I am just stumped on this...
[20:03:16] <%RareCola> Is that not just a table, theCambino?
[20:03:25] Exotiraan^ giggles at OpheliaBlue's unfortunate wording.
[20:03:33] <@OpheliaBlue> we call them island counters
[20:03:35] <theCambino> well it's like a table... but apart of the counter in a kitchen
[20:03:48] <theCambino> it's like cupboards without the cupboards
[20:04:00] <theCambino> and looked a lot like that ^
[20:04:12] <kraom> never seen something like that.
[20:04:18] <theCambino> hutch is too big from what I was thinking
[20:04:19] <@OpheliaBlue> oh wait my bad, it's not actually installed in the floor.. I have one out side for my grill, I call it my "kitchen assistant"
[20:04:30] <theCambino> hmmm
[20:04:34] <theCambino> let me look
[20:04:40] <@OpheliaBlue> anyway, theCambino.. you have a dream about one or something?
[20:04:46] <theCambino> yes
[20:04:51] <%RareCola> Dream about kitchen counters, sounds exciting
[20:05:02] <kraom> very exciting
[20:05:08] <@OpheliaBlue> oh yes, most popular dream sign
[20:05:14] <theCambino> I was thrown under one... as a tank barrelled its way through the kitchen walls
[20:05:24] <kraom> i guess thats more exciting
[20:05:25] <%RareCola> ... oh so somewhat exciting then
[20:05:29] <theCambino> cant say I was thrown under a counter... doesn't sound right
[20:05:30] <@OpheliaBlue> oh serious?? I was joking
[20:05:34] <%RareCola> Haha
[20:05:34] <@OpheliaBlue> very exciting
[20:05:50] <kraom> could call it a table.
[20:05:51] <theCambino> an island isn't an island when attatched to the counter assembly
[20:06:03] <theCambino> it's almost like a desk
[20:06:06] <hathor28> ok class time
[20:06:11] <hathor28> lol
[20:06:14] <theCambino> agreed
[20:06:15] <@OpheliaBlue> no man is an island
[20:06:20] <@OpheliaBlue> and yes, class time
[20:06:23] <theCambino> OpheliaBlue: hmm?
[20:06:25] <%RareCola> This I know?
[20:06:31] <@OpheliaBlue> John Donne
[20:06:52] <theCambino> hathor28: but it was dream related...
[20:07:05] <theCambino> a topic...?
[20:07:13] <%RareCola> oh I was referring to Black Flies by Ben Howard
[20:07:23] <%RareCola> Guess John Donne used No Man Is An Island too
[20:07:33] <@OpheliaBlue> well I'll be..
[20:07:37] <hathor28> yes
[20:07:44] <hathor28> :\
[20:08:02] <@OpheliaBlue> ok who's induction methods are working and who's aren't?
[20:08:11] <@OpheliaBlue> let's get to the nitty gritty of it
[20:08:14] <kraom> oh mine are working great.
[20:08:29] <fennecgirl> mine aren't yet
[20:08:33] <kraom> past 5 days four full lucid dreams
[20:08:39] <kraom> and realized i was dreaming twice
[20:08:45] <theCambino> mine are not
[20:08:45] <fennecgirl> I came fairly close with WILD but still didn't reach SP
[20:08:46] <kraom> but awoke.
[20:08:48] <@OpheliaBlue> niiice, DILDing mainly?
[20:08:53] <kraom> yea
[20:08:59] <%RareCola> My attempts have been really slacking lately. Bad recall these last 2 or 3 days and WILD attempts have resulted in me just falling asleep.
[20:09:01] <kraom> ive been using SSILD after waking up
[20:09:11] <theCambino> ever since I ditched my alarm... I've had a hard time waking up during WBTB
[20:09:19] <theCambino> maybe I need to drink more water
[20:09:25] <fennecgirl> I also tried MILD twice last night (when I went to bed, as well as after my failed WILD attempt at around 4:30 AM)
[20:09:30] theCambino was really dehydrated last night
[20:09:40] <theCambino> luls at recall
[20:09:46] <%RareCola> You shouldn't rely on water, theCambino. It's about building the mental notion that you will realise each time you wake up
[20:09:49] <fennecgirl> It still hasn't worked yet
[20:10:03] <kraom> ehh takes time
[20:10:06] <theCambino> ...I thought I was having Dave's luck, when I couldn't recall for awhile this morning
[20:10:06] <%RareCola> how long have you been practicing lucid dreaming fennecgirl?
[20:10:36] <theCambino> RareCola: any suggestions on waking up the mind a little more during WBTB
[20:10:36] <fennecgirl> a few weeks, I think
[20:10:44] <fennecgirl> no success yet
[20:10:47] <fennecgirl> still trying, though
[20:10:51] <@OpheliaBlue> fennecgirl: I read your workbook entry, the one with the "waves" .. that sounded like it could have been the onset of a WILD. Especially since it occurred twice
[20:10:52] <%RareCola> theCambino: Walk around
[20:10:56] <theCambino> fennecgirl: what's your count?
[20:10:57] <@OpheliaBlue> I get that too, also without the SP
[20:10:59] <%Caenis|Away> !back
[20:11:00] Caenis|Away [[email protected]] is now known as Caenis
[20:11:02] <kraom> took me two months before my first LD
[20:11:14] <theCambino> bonsoir Caenis
[20:11:16] <@OpheliaBlue> wb Caenis
[20:11:17] <theCambino> ...again
[20:11:22] <theCambino> err wb
[20:11:23] <%RareCola> Are you practicing awareness fennecgirl?
[20:11:30] <%Caenis> Hello again.
[20:11:33] <fennecgirl> Ophelia: Yeah, that's why I think I was close. Cambino: LD count? Nothing yet.
[20:11:34] <%RareCola> hey Caenis
[20:12:07] <theCambino> fennecgirl: ahh.... patience! keep at it and you will have one!
[20:12:17] <fennecgirl> RareCola: Occasionally. I've started the dream yoga course recently, which includes awareness.
[20:12:42] <%RareCola> Ah that's good, you'll learn a lot with that course
[20:12:58] <%RareCola> Awareness is key though -- have you checked out the awareness links in the compilation thread?
[20:13:02] <fennecgirl> That's what I'm hoping!
[20:13:11] <fennecgirl> And not yet - I will, though.
[20:13:23] <theCambino> sometimes I feel too overwhelmed... with ADA, ASDA, RCs.
[20:13:46] <theCambino> questioning reality and then focusing on ADA... also ASDA.
[20:13:52] <kraom> i don't even use RCs in my dreams
[20:13:53] <@OpheliaBlue> I don't do a specific "awareness technique" .. just being more aware all day is going the right direction
[20:13:55] <kraom> only real life.
[20:13:55] <theCambino> a lot to think about in a days time
[20:14:06] <theCambino> ^ what OpheliaBlue said
[20:14:08] <@OpheliaBlue> haha
[20:14:09] <fennecgirl> Yeah, I find ADA to be overwhelming.
[20:14:13] <fennecgirl> It takes practice, I guess.
[20:14:19] <theCambino> fennecgirl: you have to build up to it
[20:14:19] <%RareCola> I don't necessarily like ADA
[20:14:24] <theCambino> alittle at a time
[20:14:32] <theCambino> RareCola: that's why I included ASDA
[20:14:39] <@OpheliaBlue> it does, and one can become complacent with awareness, and you need to kick it up another level after a while
[20:14:52] <theCambino> incorporating both ADA and ASDA together
[20:14:56] <%Caenis> Kraom, you might start RCing in dreams after a few more months. Some of my LDs have been the result of a sporadic RC.
[20:15:04] <fennecgirl> What's ASDA?
[20:15:04] <%Caenis> It's worth it to try at least!
[20:15:13] <%RareCola> Honestly, I have no idea what ASDA is... ASDA is a grocery store in the UK
[20:15:14] <kraom> mehh
[20:15:14] <%RareCola> lol
[20:15:20] <@OpheliaBlue> haha
[20:15:20] <theCambino> All Day Self Awareness
[20:15:26] <theCambino> why am I saying ASDA
[20:15:27] <theCambino> XD
[20:15:28] <%RareCola> wouldn't that be ADSA?
[20:15:29] <theCambino> ADSA
[20:15:30] <%RareCola> fail
[20:15:31] <@OpheliaBlue> ADSA
[20:15:35] <kraom> lol
[20:15:39] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah SDA is sporadic awareness
[20:15:40] <theCambino> RareCola: I know -_-
[20:15:41] <fennecgirl> How is it different from ADA?
[20:15:51] <theCambino> just making sure if everyone is paying attention!
[20:15:54] <theCambino> ha ha
[20:16:01] <%RareCola> Self-awareness is much different to awareness of the outside world
[20:16:18] <kraom> i think self-awareness is more beneficial.
[20:16:25] <%RareCola> I agree, kraom
[20:16:35] <theCambino> fennecgirl: ADA is awareness outside of yourself... ADSA is the awareness of the impact you make on your surrounding
[20:16:39] <theCambino> something like that
[20:16:48] <fennecgirl> Interesting. I'll have to look into that more.
[20:16:49] <%RareCola> It's about focusing on all your senses, your presence in the world and how your presence affects everything around you and how it affects you.
[20:17:12] <theCambino> ADA also focuses on your senses as well... but to an extent
[20:17:35] <kraom> ADA for me is less thoughtful more visual and auditory
[20:17:48] <%RareCola> Sageous explains self-awareness really well, if you're interested in learning more about it: http://www.dreamviews.com/f156/wild-...p-part-131815/
[20:18:01] <theCambino> ^
[20:18:20] <@OpheliaBlue> hathor28: and thedanknight, how are your techniques working for you?
[20:18:35] <@OpheliaBlue> if you're still here
[20:18:36] <theCambino> notice though it pertains to a lot of the impact you have on everything... as well as everything having an impact on you
[20:18:57] <theCambino> which is much different from ADA ^
[20:19:08] <theCambino> hola Burke
[20:19:25] <Burke> buenos dias
[20:19:28] <theCambino> buenos dias
[20:19:30] <theCambino> damn it
[20:19:32] <theCambino> tuslo
[20:19:33] <Burke>
[20:19:37] <theCambino> bien bien
[20:20:02] <Burke> debemos tener una clase totalmente en espanol
[20:20:09] <kraom> oh si?
[20:20:21] <theCambino> mi no si
[20:20:29] <theCambino> I try
[20:20:31] <@OpheliaBlue> "Reality Check in Reverse"
[20:20:33] <Burke> dicho si
[20:20:46] <@OpheliaBlue> who here has read that, from the link RareCola provided?
[20:20:48] <Burke> err, digo
[20:20:49] <Burke> xD
[20:20:56] <hathor28> i have to recall if i wake up forgetting the dream
[20:21:00] <kraom> uhm ive read the post about reverse reality checks
[20:21:04] <kraom> that sageous wrote
[20:21:10] <kraom> in a wild tutorial.
[20:21:24] <theCambino> Burke: how are your techniques working for you...? which apparently is the subtopic
[20:21:32] <%Caenis> I have not read much from Sageous' WILD class.
[20:21:35] <Burke> en espanol o ingles?
[20:21:36] <@OpheliaBlue> do you practice that on a regular basis kraom?
[20:21:38] <%RareCola> Reverse Reality Checks are really great. I use them as stabilisation sometimes too.
[20:21:42] <theCambino> Burke: si.
[20:21:50] <kraom> just si lol
[20:21:59] <kraom> espanol espanol!
[20:21:59] <@OpheliaBlue> it's interesting, the part about asking yourself how you got there, and where you will be
[20:22:01] <Burke> elige un
[20:22:07] <theCambino> ohhhh
[20:22:11] <Burke> (pick one)
[20:22:12] <theCambino> derp y = and
[20:22:15] <theCambino> yeah
[20:22:17] <theCambino> o is or
[20:22:19] <theCambino> my bad
[20:22:22] <theCambino> ingles.
[20:22:34] <theCambino> OpheliaBlue: agreed!
[20:22:37] <Burke> umm, I had a lot of success last week but nothing recently
[20:22:44] <Burke> then again my sleep schedule has been kind of hectic
[20:22:51] <Burke> woke up at nnon yesterday and 7 today
[20:22:57] <Burke> noon8
[20:22:58] <Burke> *
[20:23:00] <theCambino> lul
[20:23:11] <kraom> noon huh.. thats a little late.
[20:23:14] <%RareCola> It works for stabilisation because it also focuses on your impact on the world around you and its impact on you. In a dream, you can imagine how everything would feel.
[20:23:15] <theCambino> yeah sleep schedule is pretty helpful
[20:23:28] <Burke> I have to get up at 7:30 tomorrow so idk
[20:23:33] <Burke> and next week im going camping
[20:23:41] <Burke> so we'll see how that works out with recall and lucidity
[20:23:43] <kraom> i got back from camping recently
[20:23:45] <kraom> >.>
[20:23:48] <kraom> not good
[20:23:59] <Burke> I had my first lucid when we went camping
[20:24:03] <theCambino> also to add from RareCola's statement... when in a dream, you realise that the dream is a creation of you and you impact it incredibly
[20:24:05] <kraom> my recall was great
[20:24:08] <Burke> first as in first ever, not after I had found out
[20:24:14] <kraom> mhmm
[20:24:17] <theCambino> and as we all know... dreams impact us tremendously
[20:24:32] <%RareCola> I think it's all about how you go into it thinking. If you go camping and think your recall/lucidity will be bad, it will be.
[20:24:41] <theCambino> ^
[20:24:47] <kraom> i didn't have any thoughts prior to it.
[20:24:47] <Burke> I'm going in neutral so...
[20:24:49] <theCambino> or unless you get shitfaced
[20:24:51] <Burke> it will stay the same?
[20:24:54] <kraom> it was just the way it panned out
[20:24:55] <theCambino> pardon my english
[20:25:00] <%RareCola> Probably, Burke
[20:25:02] <@OpheliaBlue> I like how Reece mentioned that what we see everyday is a creation of our mind, rather a created perception, like dreams
[20:25:04] <%RareCola> I don't see why it would affect lucidity
[20:25:16] <theCambino> OpheliaBlue: I very much agree
[20:25:21] <Burke> well when we went camping back when I was 8 I had like5 lucids
[20:25:24] <Burke> thanks to recurring nightmares
[20:25:27] <theCambino> reece has a ton of wise words
[20:25:32] <%RareCola> Reece is a smart one
[20:25:54] <theCambino> ^
[20:26:15] <theCambino> fennecgirl: look into his dream related material >>> ReeceJones87 - YouTube
[20:26:19] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah he is.. in the best case scenario, a dream should be as vivid as real life, since it's just our brain creating images either way
[20:26:33] <fennecgirl> will do!
[20:26:48] <%RareCola> Best case? I'd say best case is more vivid than real life
[20:27:06] <%RareCola> Your imagination isn't limited by the physical limitations of your body
[20:27:12] <theCambino> ...or better like RareCola said
[20:27:13] <@OpheliaBlue> I knew someone would point that out
[20:27:17] thedanknight [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Ping timeout: 90 seconds
[20:27:26] <@OpheliaBlue> "almost best case scenario" and then the rest I said
[20:27:26] <%RareCola> haha
[20:27:33] <theCambino> notice things that would normally go unnoticed in waking life
[20:27:46] <@OpheliaBlue> better than best
[20:28:07] <theCambino> high hopes is something I kind of wish I knew
[20:28:39] <@OpheliaBlue> I like what Sageous says about "wonder"
[20:28:56] <theCambino> wonder...? about?
[20:28:58] <@OpheliaBlue> it reminds me of something from "Joe vs. The Volcano" anyone ever seen that movie?
[20:29:08] <%RareCola> Is this your first time reading his WILD sessions?
[20:29:10] <@OpheliaBlue> Tom Hanks and meg Ryan, circa 1990 ish
[20:29:17] <theCambino> OpheliaBlue: afraid not
[20:29:17] <%RareCola> Can't say I have
[20:29:23] <@OpheliaBlue> RareCola: nooooooooooooooo ( ) yes
[20:29:31] <%RareCola> haha
[20:29:36] <%RareCola> they're really great
[20:29:42] <theCambino> they are ^
[20:29:50] <theCambino> not sure why I keep agreeing
[20:29:53] <theCambino> ...so much
[20:30:00] <%RareCola> Not just for WILDs either, besides the last 2 sessions, everything he teaches helps with every aspect of lucid dreaming
[20:30:01] <%Caenis> You're just so agreeable theCambino.
[20:30:05] <@OpheliaBlue> Meg's character talks about how people go on their whole lives, never questioning anything, no awareness, etc, you know, we talk about that alot on DV, but THEN,
[20:30:15] <theCambino> I know... just seems this is a one sided conversation
[20:30:22] <theCambino> I'm not contributing much.
[20:30:25] <@OpheliaBlue> She said some people spend their whole lives in utter Awe at the world around them.
[20:30:42] <theCambino> fennecgirl: by chance, have you seen waking life?
[20:30:49] <theCambino> I think it was mentioned in last class.
[20:30:51] <fennecgirl> nope
[20:31:00] <theCambino> it's on google
[20:31:04] <%Caenis> Didn't I mention it to you, theCambino?
[20:31:05] <@OpheliaBlue> that's what I always reference when I am working on my awareness.. being in Awe at everything around me, how it works, what makes it wonderful
[20:31:05] <%RareCola> Sounds like me, I'm always the odd one out amongst my friends when I'm awestruck by the world haha
[20:31:11] <%Caenis> Or maybe it was Mattorix.
[20:31:15] <theCambino> Caenis: no...?
[20:31:22] <theCambino> I own Waking Life on DVD
[20:31:25] <%Caenis> Sorry, I mentioned it to Mattorix.
[20:31:29] <@OpheliaBlue> no that's cool.. the world, universe, everything is pretty freaking incredible
[20:31:35] <theCambino> ...if it came in bluray... I would of gotten that!
[20:31:36] <Burke> I'm awestruck when listening to some good music xP
[20:31:44] <theCambino> Caenis: it's alright.
[20:31:45] <@OpheliaBlue> but you have to stop the clock every now and then during the day
[20:31:57] <%RareCola> It is, I love those moments when you just stop and realise how incredible everything is
[20:32:03] <@OpheliaBlue> be in awe, find wonder in the world around you
[20:32:07] <@OpheliaBlue> yeah
[20:32:17] <@OpheliaBlue> it used to scare me because I didn't understand how it all came to be
[20:32:20] <theCambino> I love what Alan Watts has said about the stages of dreams! ...so inspirational!
[20:32:28] <Burke> I have a fan beside me, I shall find beauty in it!
[20:32:30] <@OpheliaBlue> then I said fuck it, I don't need to know, I'm just going to be in awe about it and party
[20:32:38] <theCambino> Burke!
[20:32:47] <%RareCola> Yeaaa, I think that's the key, you need to be content in the not-knowing
[20:32:56] <@OpheliaBlue> did you find the fan sexy, Burke?
[20:33:01] <theCambino> Burke: errr I assume that was a quote?
[20:33:03] <Burke> not that beauty
[20:33:08] <Burke> and no, I just said it
[20:33:09] <@OpheliaBlue> lol
[20:33:11] <theCambino> oh
[20:33:12] <kraom> lol
[20:33:14] <Burke> because there is a fan beside me
[20:33:17] <Burke> and that's the topic
[20:33:22] <theCambino> lol
[20:33:27] <%RareCola> Humans have a strange desire to figure out how everything works, down to the nuts and bolts. Sometimes you need to realise that you don't need to know, and that it's harmful to strive to try and know.
[20:33:27] <@OpheliaBlue> does the fan inspire awe and wonderment?
[20:33:29] <hathor28> i got a question concerning dream images
[20:33:43] <Burke> no, but it inspires a cool feeling on my body
[20:33:44] <theCambino> speak into the fan and listen to it echo
[20:33:56] <@OpheliaBlue> RareCola: I agree. I used to stop thinking about it because it drove me crazy with desire to know why/how etc.
[20:33:57] <%Caenis> Go ahead hathor28.
[20:34:07] <hathor28> there was an image that haunted me thru a dream, and also when i woke up its still in my head why?
[20:34:08] <theCambino> I can't wait to shout in a dream and hear the harmonics inside.
[20:34:09] <%RareCola> Haha, you'd be amazed how much awe and wonderment you can find in a fan when you use it as your WILD anchor.
[20:34:20] <Burke> @hathor because it haunted you
[20:34:35] <hathor28> not in a scary way tho
[20:34:35] <kraom> yea because it was on your mind after you woke up.. idk.
[20:34:38] <@OpheliaBlue> hathor28: what was the image, and what did it do?
[20:34:45] <theCambino> hathor28: it left a deep impression in your memory
[20:34:50] <Burke> ^^
[20:34:53] <theCambino> ...just like a really vivid or amazing dream
[20:35:06] <hathor28> the dream guy someone i knew
[20:35:10] <hathor28> :\
[20:35:13] <theCambino> you remember it so well because it has impacted you
[20:35:18] <%RareCola> Does a creation of your imagination have the ability to leave a deep impression in your memory?
[20:35:23] <theCambino> sleep on it.
[20:35:24] <hathor28> could it be linked to my telepathy?
[20:35:26] RommiH [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[20:35:30] <theCambino> you'll forget it tomorrow.
[20:35:38] <%Caenis> Is that the guy you SD with, hathor?
[20:35:38] <RommiH> class now?!
[20:35:40] <@OpheliaBlue> I got disturbed by the most nothing of images when I had a really high fever once. It was just a rope, but I found it freaky at the time. Some dreams are like that: not very rational in the moment.
[20:35:43] <%Caenis> Hello RommiH, yessir!
[20:35:44] <hathor28> yes
[20:35:47] <@OpheliaBlue> hey RommiH
[20:35:51] <RommiH> HEY!
[20:35:54] <theCambino> bonsoir RommiH
[20:35:57] <RommiH> been on for how long?
[20:36:07] <theCambino> since 8pm cst
[20:36:14] <theCambino> 36 minutes ago
[20:36:19] <%RareCola> Freaked out by a rope. Almost as good as going into mourning by putting a bag over your head.
[20:36:20] <RommiH> i keep forgetting abouot the chats!
[20:36:30] <RommiH> ak ok...
[20:36:33] <@OpheliaBlue> it was a sheet Jason, ablack sheet
[20:36:42] <hathor28> it was like a facial image
[20:36:43] <@OpheliaBlue> nto a bag
[20:36:43] <%Caenis> Hmmmm. I can't say hathor28. But then again, I don't think I ever could--it's your dream and experience after all. You'd know best what it means.
[20:36:43] <%RareCola> Details, detail

[20:36:52] fennecgirl [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Quit: Page closed
[20:36:57] <theCambino> welp I am offically lost
[20:37:03] <@OpheliaBlue> a black sheet it goth, a bag is suicidal
[20:37:10] <%RareCola> Hahaha
[20:37:23] <RommiH> what are we talking about??
[20:37:26] <%RareCola> not if you draw a happy face on it
[20:37:31] <@OpheliaBlue> hahaa
[20:37:32] <hathor28> hmm i guess it got stronger this connection then
[20:37:36] <theCambino> a whole lot of everything
[20:37:39] <RommiH> i have a brown paper bag next to me
[20:37:44] <@OpheliaBlue> ignore the woman with the sheet over her head
[20:37:59] <RommiH> it fits nicely over the head
[20:38:00] <hathor28> who sees the woman? lol
[20:38:07] <%Caenis> That could be, hathor28. I wonder if your friend had the same experience.
[20:38:11] <@OpheliaBlue> it was a dream I had a few days ago
[20:38:44] <hathor28> caenis it is getting oddly stronger
[20:39:01] <hathor28> it has to do with communications
[20:39:27] <@OpheliaBlue> communications?
[20:39:40] <hathor28> odd thing is i see the face 1 sec and it continues with me thru my dream like chain dream
[20:39:51] <hathor28> telepathy ophelia
[20:39:52] <theCambino> hmmm
[20:40:34] <hathor28> i continue with the 2nd dream and it's still there
[20:41:08] <@OpheliaBlue> ah. Well, I don't really know much about telepathy hathor28, and this class is more designed for entry level lucidity hehe
[20:41:13] <@OpheliaBlue> so I won't be much help there!
[20:41:21] <%Caenis> Interesting. o.O I'm curious to see how your dreams will continue to be affected. Curious stuff.
[20:41:27] <hathor28> well it is also linked to my dreams
[20:41:59] <hathor28> i was sleeping late it was day
[20:42:00] <%RareCola> Shhh, Ophelia's secretly telepathically controlling you all. It's a conspiracy.
[20:42:11] <@OpheliaBlue> I'm telepathetic alright
[20:42:15] Seroquel [[email protected]] has joined #DVA
[20:42:17] <kraom> knew it..
[20:42:22] <%Caenis> D= Ophelia is violating our minds.
[20:42:29] <@OpheliaBlue> hey Seroquel
[20:42:38] <hathor28> i read that someone thinking of you can affect your dreams at the moment
[20:43:02] <%RareCola> A bit fairy-tale for me
[20:43:04] <@OpheliaBlue> so lately anxiety is ruining my WILD attempts. meaning, I always have a higher anxiety level first thing in the morning, but never at any other time of day
[20:43:09] <hathor28> yes it is caenis
[20:43:09] <@OpheliaBlue> anyone else ever experience this?
[20:43:15] <theCambino> no
[20:43:21] <theCambino> well I'm out
[20:43:24] <theCambino> au revoir
[20:43:27] <@OpheliaBlue> ok see ya Caenis
[20:43:31] <theCambino> lul
[20:43:31] <%RareCola> I think I've experienced something similar before actually
[20:43:33] <kraom> ja ne
[20:43:34] <hathor28> cya camb
[20:43:38] <%RareCola> What exactly happens to you?
[20:43:42] <theCambino> kroam...?
[20:43:45] <kraom> hmm
[20:43:49] <%Caenis> Bye theCambino.
[20:43:54] <theCambino> later
[20:43:55] <hathor28> lol
[20:44:14] <hathor28> i realized this thru recall
[20:44:19] <@OpheliaBlue> when I wake up too early, and the thoughts of work and other issues (mostly work, or the have-to's of my life) fill my head all in one big rush
[20:44:29] <hathor28> didnt know in dream O_o
[20:44:32] theCambino [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Quit: Page closed
[20:44:48] <@OpheliaBlue> my heart races and I get butterflies in my stomach, the bad kind
[20:45:00] <%Caenis> OpheliaBlue: I don't usually have anxiety in the mornings. If I'm anxious, it's going to be more at night when I have the time to think. Or various parts of the day, but nights are a regular time for me to feel anxious.
[20:45:09] <@OpheliaBlue> hard to relax and focus then... and it creeps into my induction attempts
[20:45:12] <%RareCola> Ah yea, I've had similar before, particularly know the heart racing/butterflies feeling
[20:45:33] <hathor28> only time i get those feelings is thru a night terror
[20:45:41] <@OpheliaBlue> I think it's because sleep is a huge excape for me, and waking up is being thrown from that escape
[20:45:43] <Seroquel> This room is weird
[20:45:53] <@OpheliaBlue> Caenis: weird how we're opposite on that
[20:46:01] <hathor28> knew i felt something looking over
[20:46:01] <@OpheliaBlue> Seroquel: awww bless your heart
[20:46:12] <@OpheliaBlue> you'll fit right in
[20:46:13] <hathor28> always has
[20:46:21] <%Caenis> Yeah, I didn't even realize people got anxious in the mornings. =p
[20:46:22] <hathor28> someone lurking
[20:46:28] <%Caenis> I'm too groggy in the mornings to be too anxious.
[20:46:49] <@OpheliaBlue> Caenis: I was reading about it recently, apparently it's a condition, and what can trigger it is low blood sugar in the mornings
[20:47:10] <hathor28> lol
[20:47:12] <%Caenis> Ahhhh, I could see how that would be. Interesting.
[20:47:16] <%RareCola> My WILD attempts have just been weird lately. I reach a point where I know I'm getting closer to successfully WILDing but for some reason or another, I end up rolling over and going to sleep. It makes no sense whatsoever
[20:47:34] <kraom> all of my WILD attempts fail.
[20:47:36] <kraom> everytime
[20:47:49] <kraom> thats why i love my DILDs.. so easy
[20:47:58] <%RareCola> Really random though
[20:48:00] <@OpheliaBlue> I'm supposed to drink apple juice when that happens or something, but I'm afraid the sugar would exacerbate the problem, not help it
[20:48:18] <@OpheliaBlue> I dunno, worth a try I guess.. probably an antidepressant or therapy would be better
[20:48:46] <%RareCola> I don't see sugar being a problem
[20:48:47] <%Caenis> If the issue really is just a blood sugar thing, apple juice would be a good fix.
[20:49:09] <hathor28> yesterday i got light headed very fast, and i got no health problems :\
[20:49:12] <@OpheliaBlue> y'all are just saying that because you don't want me popping more pills
[20:49:20] <hathor28> went away as fast as it came
[20:49:22] <%RareCola> Possibly
[20:49:24] <%Caenis> My dad always gets irritable if his blood sugar is low. It definitely has an effect on moods.
[20:49:45] <@OpheliaBlue> fuck it, why not.. I'll give it a shot
[20:49:49] <hathor28> i think it has nothing to do with blood pressure
[20:49:58] <@OpheliaBlue> blood sugar*
[20:50:00] <%RareCola> I'm pretty against medication unless it's absolutely necessary actually. Don't take anything when I have headaches and such
[20:50:09] <hathor28> if it was a 3 sec happening
[20:50:16] RommiH [[email protected]] has quit IRC: Quit: Page closed
[20:50:35] <hathor28> i take no medications
[20:50:40] <@OpheliaBlue> when I get the early morning anxiety, it lasts for hours and I don't get back to sleep (if it's a work day)
[20:50:50] <kraom> i dont take medication but if i get a headache i use excedrin
[20:51:00] <@OpheliaBlue> I can wake up as early as 3am and not get back to sleep
[20:51:12] <%Caenis> o.O Oh. That's a little more serious than I realized.
[20:51:17] <kraom> i have a hard time going back to sleep too
[20:51:24] <%RareCola> Maybe it's time to change your career
[20:51:24] <kraom> takes like two three hours sometime
[20:51:32] <hathor28> im a light sleeper
[20:51:39] <%Caenis> Well, yes, therapy is certainly never a bad option OpheliaBlue!
[20:51:43] <@OpheliaBlue> RareCola: my friend, you just said a cotton-picken' mouthful
[20:52:20] <%RareCola> haha
[20:52:28] <@OpheliaBlue> i'm a bit stuck for the time being, benefits and some other shit I'm tied up with, but that's ok, I didn't mean for you guys to try and solve my issues
[20:52:34] <@OpheliaBlue> I was just curious about,
[20:52:55] <@OpheliaBlue> what people did to combat anxiety, or even just too many thoughts while trying to focus on an induction technique
[20:53:19] <%RareCola> Have you ever tried meditation techniques?
[20:53:31] <@OpheliaBlue> I'm not allowed to
[20:53:33] <hathor28> no
[20:53:35] <hathor28> lol
[20:53:40] <%RareCola> oh?
[20:53:40] <@OpheliaBlue> I'm kidding
[20:53:48] <@OpheliaBlue> hehe I was evading
[20:53:51] <%RareCola> Haha
[20:54:03] <hathor28> i never use medication it messes with my dreaming
[20:54:18] <@OpheliaBlue> I was just thinking about it too... is it possible for a brain to be too spastic even for meditation?
[20:54:26] <%Caenis> Really? I've read from multiple sites that meditation helps with LDing hathor28.
[20:54:37] <hathor28> oh sorry
[20:54:41] <@OpheliaBlue> not medication hathor28 meditation
[20:54:46] <hathor28> i thought u meant medication
[20:54:46] <%RareCola> I don't think so, Lisa
[20:55:07] <hathor28> ya i use meditation
[20:55:14] <hathor28> a lot
[20:55:19] <hathor28> have to!
[20:55:33] <%RareCola> I think it's all a mental process really, you need to develop your own ways of calming your mind -- I just find implementing some meditative techniques useful
[20:55:56] <@OpheliaBlue> oh like beer?
[20:56:00] <%RareCola> For example, trying to fight your thoughts just makes it worse. You just need to let the thoughts pass through, complete themselves
[20:56:02] <hathor28> lol
[20:56:05] <%RareCola> haha... well, I guess beer could help

[20:56:50] <hathor28> i do both
[20:57:06] <DaveTheJoker> Movin couches burned up my DVA time
[20:57:14] <@OpheliaBlue> so you just have to think them, and let them pass... I just feel like they want to stab me on their way through each time
[20:57:25] <hathor28> or fight, fix and trick
[20:57:26] <@OpheliaBlue> it jolts me and wakes me up too much
[20:57:32] <%RareCola> When my thoughts I racing I tend to just think about them, consider them briefly and then let them pass through and refocus my mind on some outside distraction. This is why I started using a fan, a constant source to focus on
[20:57:36] <%Caenis> You're so active lately Dave, with the furniture moving and the yard work.
[20:58:08] <@OpheliaBlue> he's trying to tire himself out more before bed
[20:58:14] <@OpheliaBlue> speaking of overactive minds
[20:58:31] <%Caenis> I was just thinking that! Dave's set for sleeping.
[20:58:39] <DaveTheJoker> Caenis: yea lol
