Hey sighingplant, nice to meet you and welcome to our class! When you RC, do you try to become more aware of your surroundings? |

Hey everybody my name is sighingplant and I've been journaling since April and I've only had one short lucid dream thanks to SP that lead to a FA. My preferred technique is a DILD with the aid of mantras, and a little but barely ADA. My RCs are nose plug and palm two fingers poke. For a few weeks I've been taking melatonin before bed it helps with sleep, fight temptation of staying up by listening to music or podcasts, and stopping a racing mind. It helps with dream recall and it was also suggested on wiki but yesterday I read on here that it prevents lucidicity, probably why I've only had one. But I really need a confirm answer on the melatonin it's 10mg. Goals are: [] be lucid more. Gotta start small by focusing on one thing first before I can set what I wanna do in them imho. |

Nice to meet you too and thanks, when I RC I pretend to be as if dreaming and question my state or I'll RC if something seems out of place. Alright I'll add a more specific goal, my recall is usually good and yes I have a few dreamsigns but soon as I have my next dream I'll start journaling on DV too. |

Last night I went to bed 1ish AM and didn't go to sleep around 5ish AM thanks to my iPod touch lol. I woke up at 11:35 AM but my grandma had the living room tv so loud my recall was no where to be found, I jotted in my journal after the date "I don't remember any dreams". Current goals: [] soon as lucid explore my location [] talk to DC(s) [] fly |

Hey sighingplant, welcome to the class! |
|
Literally the same results as the day before :/ so today I'm going to work out and refrain from my touch, but I do have some good news I've probably done more RCs yesterday than I ever have in one day. Note to self do RCs as soon as I wake up too. |
|
Haha. Gotcha. |
|
Last night I took a melatonin and 2 dreams one idr what happened in it but 2 dream signs were in them and the second one was bout a complete bald headed dreadless Stevie Wonder and John Legend hoteling in my home by sleeping in a big topless wooden box for 2 (I know wtf lol). The scene changes and one of my dream signs Cousin C got on my computer to buy something but goes on the DV website. |
|
So 3 dream signs in one night.. hope you're doing your reality checking! |

I didn't get a chance to post this morning cause I was busy. Last nite finally went to bed around 3 am and woke up 7ish am so I decided to do a WBTB I got up and chilled in the living room for 25 mins. While I did that I decided to imagine what Id want my lucid dream to take place and some predetermined DCs. Anyways I after those 25 mins I went to bed and decided to try a WILD. Unfortuanetly focused too much on the not letting the mind wander part and forgot the staying awake part so I fell asleep. I had a dream that was a racing (running) a friend (male) in a indoor gym then when went inside what looked like a bigger version of my bathroom and the finish line was to hop in my shower which in the dream was doorless. I look down see the shower floor was ankle water deep. (Male friend disappered) I made a comment how if your feet are dirty your gonna see immidiatly in the shower water. I hear laughter from a female friend of mines (one of the predetermined DCs I imagined) I look up and see her laughing. I step out and walk out the oversized bathroom and i turn around i'm like 4 feet away she's outside the bathroom infront of door which is btw magically closed. She facing her back to me but playing with her hair and looking back by turning her head to the side and seeing me with one eye and giggling. She turn away and repeats the above for a few times then breaks the ice by facing me with a big smile saying how she remembers how we met. I woke up pissed cause I wanted to hear more and couldn't believe I didn't go lucid. I've been friends with her for over a year almost 2 anyways this year she slowly began to like me, I don't feel the same but she's not ugly also if it don't work out I don't want things to go sour or/ and awkward. I imagined her as a predetermined DC so I could practice flirting with her incase I change my mind. |

Oh ok cool, thanks for letting me read. Yeah, too bad you didn't get lucid because it's really cool that you had a dream that included one of your predetermined DCs! Do you feel you had a longer and/or more vivid dream because you had a WBTB and chilled in the living room for 25 minutes? |
|
After this mornings dream i got up to use the restroom, grabbed my 2 small dogs (poodle pekenis mix aka pekapoo) and went back to bed with them to chill for a bit before my grandma came back and ended up falling back to sleep and having a FA where my grandma came back home she opened my bedroom door and scolding me for not taking a shower while she was gone. Also the dogs jumped off my bed and ran out the room. I woke up, door's closed and dogs beside me. I was super shocked because that was the second FA I ever had and unlike my 1st nothing seemed out of place just a realistic worst case scenario lol |
|
Haha those are the worst FAs! I'll have those too, but where my alarm didn't go off properly and I'm late for work. I think that maybe because it's kind of a panicky situation, I don't necessarily notice if something's out of place or not. |
|
For today's post not a DJ entry but something else I realized around 3 ish AM that I'm bit afraid of my next LD involving my phobias. It's dumb probably just a thought but I thought I'd share. |
|
Just a experiencing a lucid dream with some horrific creature or evil spirits cause I read somewhere on here that they hide in the dream world. Arachnidphobia. Also I cant help but notice that melatonin always makes my dreams vivid and bizzare obviously but also 1st person and I DONT TALK like if I'm holding back |
