The 5-htp does that to me too. But I think the vividness makes me a touch more aware, which increases my chances to recognize that I'm dreaming. But I can see how you would be worried that the vividness and especially bizarreness might make a dream scary. All the more motivation to get lucid.


say what

Id stay away from dream water too it just sounds foolish to jump in unless it was necessary. The melatonin don't scare me I just feel it's making lucidity harder to gain. EWOLD arrived yesterday I read at night for over an hour I'm gonna restart over, by first beginng with a tight sleep schedule and no melatonin.

One long vivid dream that changed scenes like 3 to 4 times. Thinking of changing to WBTB WILD

Oh wow, good job on the longness and vividness of the dream.

I say go for it if you want to do a different technique, like WBTB and WILD. Because even if you're focusing more on those techniques, you could still have a random DILD. Actually whenever I have a DILD, it's usually unintentional anyway hehe. So good luck!

Thanks Ophelia, I'm currently trying the SAT (spordiac awareness technique) for DILDs, first try to get a tight sleep schedule again and then see if i should try WBTB WILDs too. Speaking of them I did an unplanned WBTB WILD got a HI of UK celeberity Karl Pilkington's face but i realized it was HI and felt my body and woke up :/

Well at least you got HI! You were pretty close sighingplant. Interesting that you WILDed accidentally. If you found it easy to do, then it's definitely worth another shot!

Have you been reading EWOLD? What do you think of it?

The HI was very detailed, the face of Karl Pilkington. It's good but I haven't read it in days, I read up to how to MILD

Last night I stood up late and finally turned off the TV around 4ish AM in a few minutes as I was going to sleep i heard some beautiful music it was some guy with an amazing voice singing and the instrumental sounded like a fusion of Curtis Mayfield move on up and Phil Bailey Chinese waters, but not really it's just the closest way I can explain it. As I heard it a few seconds in it was fading and I somehow tuned to it and it got louder and then I snapped out of it. Don't tell me I have a musical pillow lol. Just hearing makes me want to have a LD even more now. Then fell asleep and had 2 dreams, one it was nightime in my neighborhood I guess I was waking my aunt pulls up in a car looked similar to a 74 corvette but for four ppl with her husband and two kids. It was white and futuristic looking with glowing light neon blue lights. I'm shocked and fascinated with the car i ask what is it, she says "ultra Silvia" (which makes no sense cause the car was closer to a chevy corvette then a Nissan Silvia) then she takes off. 2nd dream I received a txt from this chick I used to talk to like over a year,I was so happy I txted her back and then woke up in bed. I was like damn that seemed so real (irl my celly has been broken for quite a while, in other words no cellfone)

Past few days I've noticed I only recall dreams if I WBTB why's that? Is it lack of a tight sleep schedule? Too much tv and iPod touch before bed? Or is it sometimes going to bed with problems and worries in mind (don't worry their minor but still lol)?

Today I woke up recalling a dream

I recall more dreams after I WBTB as well. Usually because it's just closer to when I wake up.

Interesting bit about the musical pillow! I hear music alot when I have HI. It doesn't sound like it's in my head either, but like it's playing in my room somewhere.

Ok that makes sense, yeah! it sounds so real and live. Idr the words, why is it sometimes we can't recall dialogue or song lyrics from dreams completly? I've had one dream that had a very beautiful female voice singing along with music, and I can't recall the lyrics or melody of the music like I wouldn't be able to hum it, the best I can describe it was if she was like a female Marvin Gaye the singing range was crazy like his and the music was like a blend of MJs Earth Song and Beyonces Party but not rly.

Oh wow that's really cool. Hasn't happened to me that often, maybe once a year. And it's usually classical symphonic music. A few times I was even able to partially direct it. I wonder if the music geniuses like Mozart and Beethoven utilized this kind of thing.

Yeah it's awesome, probably wouldn't be suprised. Anyways last night almost went lucid, their was point in my dream after kissing 2
different girls the scene changes I spot an old crush I think "why don't I feel nervous?" but unfortuanetly didn't do a RC and continued with the dream, you really can't slack off for a bit with your daily doses of RCs :/

I became a bit aware in last nights dream but as I did I awoke :/

idr*last*nights*dream*cuz*I*decided*to*be*lazy*n*n ot*write*it*down*n*go*back*to*sleep*but*I*remember *near*the*end*I*walked*by*a*tree*and*a*cobweb*got* on*my*head*(it*felt*so*real)*I*started*freaking*ou t*lol I*woke*up.

What's with the asterisks? Were you posting on your phone and it glitched out? Shame you didn't remember your dream, but I did that last night myself. I remembered a DC, but that was it. Such a shame, it seemed like an interesting dream.

Were you twitching or flailing when you woke up, to try to get the cobweb off? Could you still feel it when you woke up? Good job on your recent awareness by the way!

Looks like a glitch lol, when I woke up I ran my fingers through my hair while laying in bed in the dark lol, thanks. Today's dream idr much not 100% sure but think I went on a date with Nicki minaj lol pretty wierd cuz I mean she's alright.

I had 2 naps this afternoon today and had 2 seperate dreams where I was concious from the start but I was like watching them like a movie before my eyes instead of being in them even with 1st person view, was even able to think but had SP so pretty much concious but wasn't able to go lucid cuz of SP and wasn't even them

Interesting, I wonder if you were having hypnogogic hallucinations? It's like, you could see the dream as if you were watching a movie, but you were aware of your body in your bed, with SP?

Ive never experienced a SP like this. Maybe but usually when I have SP the HH are in my room. I realized oh this a dream but couldn't move my body, dream A was
blurry and misty I hear 2 guys talking about chakras n etc and I see green and blue energies. Dream B I was witnessing from birds view a very blasphemous music video that was black and white, setting was a church, there was a really fat person dressed as Jesus and women throwing Satans horns up

Within in this week I've had 2 dreams where I realized I was dreaming n woke up

Well that's cool! So you got lucid both those times, and just woke up too fast? What triggered the lucidity?

Hey, these are a big deal. As you become more familiar with the feeling of lucidity and start expecting it to happen, you'll grow less and less likely to shock yourself awake.

Instead of that shock that jolts you awake you'll experience a sensation more along the lines of, "And here we go..." You're learning every time one of these ultra-short lucids happens to you. Remember what it felt like and run through how you will react the next time that it happens. Forewarned is forearmed, as they say, so these are helping ready you for the future.

If you are interested in broadening your tool set a bit, these short lucids may present an ideal opportunity for dream chaining via DEILD. There are a couple of great tutorials on this:

From last night:
I just had a dream I was chasin this chick (flirty pursuit) than I got to her and we began to walk as we hold hands, I realized it was dream so the shit ended. But now I'm in bed still as dry dog shit, eyes closed, and I could still feel her hand. I saw black since I could still feel her hand I smiled and all of a sudden started seeing like a tunnel of red energy rotating in place. I was trying to get back to it but I just kept going in the tunnel and than stop and than continue but no progress, so I got bored and opened my eyes. idk if this helped but b4 this happened I was listenin to lucid dreaming binuaral isochronic on YouTube for 15 mins got bored and turned to slow songs like frank ocean voodoo and YouTube compilation video called I think, Jamie foxx true r&b talent. While I was listenin to them I was having really short barely vivid dreams, one was animation of the catepillar from bugs life but stick figureish cheap 3D looking walking lol
