Hell yea gj on the recall man keep on keepin on!

Still awake and bored as hell waiting for my Mom's CT scan. Hopefully this aberration in my sleep schedule won't set me back too far. I don't really want to set an alarm.

Mabey some rem rebound in ur near future? Hope ur moms ok. Glad to see ur thinking of dreaming when u know ur schedule is messing up!!

o.O So you were at the hospital for over six hours? That really blows man, hope you got a lot of sleep today. I hope your mom is feeling better too.

If you're lucky, one late night won't affect your sleep schedule too much. Best of luck to you! I'm glad you didn't starve to death in the hospital.

Well I am back now my mom is fine, after a total of 14 HOURS OF DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM. They literally did a bunch of random tests for 14 hours and in the end released her, not even figuring out why she had a fever in the first place.

So we went home finally around 8:30 this morning, I had breakfast, fiddled around until 11am, then took a two hour nap (I'm not sure why I woke up). I was planning on taking advantage of my sleepless condition and trying a WILD attempt, and I put on my headphones to a song on repeat (so I wouldn't lose consciousness ). Well the music didn't work because all I remember is waking up afterwards extremely groggy and not thinking straight. After the groggyness wore off I went about the rest of the day feeling about normal, and now it is midnight and I only feel mildly tired. Anyway, I will hopefully have a decent dreaming night tonight (REM rebound?).

So, it's been 32 hours with 2 hours of sleep. So yea, a little more than a late night, more like an all nighter

Glad your mom is ok. One time, half of my body went paralyzed for 30 minutes, then it just went away. Point is, I spent 12 hours at the hospital for the neurologist to tell me that it WASN'T a stroke. Anyway, just get some sleep man. Your induction techniques can take a sabbatical for now.

Yea rem rebound is we're if u deprive urself of sleep "rem" u will get a big boost of it the next night or for me if I smoke pot an quit I get a rebound about a week later

Had a long, relatively vivid non lucid today. I think my recall is actually better when I do NOT set an alarm for a WBTB.


Yea its a little late but here are my goals for this month.




August Dream Goals: (In no particular order)

1) Have at least 1 lucid dream.

2) When I become lucid: STOP PANIC

3) Be in bed by midnight every day.

4) Practice MILD

5) Start doing a variety of wholehearted reality checks again- ( I got lazy and haven't been doing them)

6) Recall at least 1 dream per day

7) Stop using my tablet, reading, or doing anything other than sleeping in my bed

8)Continue to Journal my dreams

I miiiiiight be one of the people responsible for you not achieving this. Haehahehahe :')


EDIT: waitwut lol that just sounded wrong. I meant on IRC. x)

Well done with the recall!

And I love your goals. The idea with relating your bed with only sleep is a good idea as well - hopefully that works out for you! Good thinking

Sooooo time to dust off the ol' workbook. I had a couple interesting dreams on my 7 day leave of absence. I will post em in my DJ and get goin' again on LD attempts. I have been having a problem with motivation but hopefully that'll be fixed soon!

Well no lucids last night but I figured out how to get sure recall every day. All I have to do is set my alarm an hour before I normally get up and boom I remembered two vivid dreams. I can also do a technique too because I am awake enough. I'll be lucid in no time at all.

Going out of town for the week. Wish me luck with dreaming while I am!

Good luck notdave! I'm leaving too, so see ya soon!

Goooood luck! "dave"

Good luck Dave, see you when you get back!

Well we arrived home on Saturday night. Only 1 DJ entry on our trip. I'm having lots of dreams, but I'm not remembering them. Missed a perfect opportunity to WBTB or even DEILD when the power came out and back on, but I wasn't conscious enough to take advantage of it. Also, my sleep schedule is pretty good now, going to bed by midnight and waking up by 9. School starts on Thursday- I have no idea how college will affect dreaming, and dream recall. I really want a lucid soon.

I'm reading Claude de Contrecoeur's "Conscious Dreaming and Controlled Hallucinations". Its very informative, and while his research is a bit informal, it is very interesting.

Conscious Dreaming and Controlled Hallucinations

How's ur recall? And any lucids latly?

My dreaming kinda sucks. No sizable DJ entries for weeks. Recall is weak.

No lucids since June

I am going to try doing more sizable WBTBs, which I have had some success with in the past.

Do u do anything before u go to sleep at night? Mabey thinging about dreaming and only dreaming might help?

I should do that- I have been lazy before bed.

My 20 minute WBTB an hour before getting up gave me a vivid dream which I put in my DJ (Its been a couple weeks). This way, at least I will at least remember if I was lucid or not. This time, my dog barked at a cat and woke me up, I guess tonight I will set an alarm for the same time.

Cool me 2. Let me know how ya did!!

I finally got lucid!! Went to be at 1AM did a WBTB at 8:45AM and went back to sleep at 9:30 about. Then I woke up for good at 11AM. This was my best LD to date: here is a summary: (From my DJ)

I was at school wondering around crowded halls aimlessly looking for statistics on Mexican immigrants vs Indians. (Day residue) I asked one teacher and he became very upset so I continued on. I then asked another teacher, she was middle aged, tired looking and walking down the hall. She said that she was an immigrant- her family moved from Italy a long time ago- she said they were American now and spoke English. I said "right, that is what immigration is supposed to be". She said "yea".

For some reason there were tons and tons of shopping carts around. I got the teacher one, and she said thanks. When we exited the building, I said goodbye and she said she was terrible sorry about my intoxicated professor. (The one who got really angry must have been drunk)

I walked a few feet when I noticed a white teen male, about 6 feet tall with the door to my car open. I started yelling "stop you fuckin' theif" he grabbed a bag which had a laptop in it and began running away. I began to run after him. I wondered if he was armed, but I decided that since he hadn't shot me yet, he wasn't. Kept running until he reached an empty boat trailer like ours, and he stuffed the laptop bag under the wheel-well. I kept yelling and running and I noticed that there were about 5 other people there standing with the kid, waiting to make a stand. I slowed down, bet kept walking towards them. Suddenly, I became lucid! I yelled: "THIEVES GONE!"

Instead of the thieves leaving, I was transported to an unknown place. It was bright, and calm. It was natural light, sunlight. A young woman my age talked to me- I asked " Why have you brought me here? She said "I control the ___ and the ____. You control the ____ and the ____ it is not yet your time, but you need know"

I cant remember what she said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The most important part.
