I did yeah, but the other benefits were in my mind too (health, money, etc) I'd tried a few times and failed, but after having my first LD its really inspired me to never smoke again! I found it easy to replace a smoke with something else, weather it was doodling in my book (which I do a lot) or eating / drinking. I did notice that if I told all my mates and family to be really angry at me if they caught me smoking, the one time I did ask for a cigarette I got shouted at and it stopped me from doing it!

Cool man I've also took uP running that might help u as well!! After the first week I started looking forward to my runs

Thanks so much Wurlman! Good luck as well!

Hey Wurlman, have you ever thought of joining our chat classes on IRC?

IRC is the chat room. There's a thread for all the upcoming chat times, if you're ever on a computer during those times feel free to join the chat in the navigation and type "/j #DVA" to join the class. We basically just have a group discussion about our dreams, do Q&A, maybe a pop quiz and whatever else we feel the need to discuss Tonight we were talking about dream cohesiveness and perception, lots of fun!

Thanks cola! I'll join tonight and just read mostly it is hard without a computer.

NOT COOL! Ok I'm not frustrated.......... Ok mabey a little but I only had to fragments last night and I went to bed early for the sake of not being able to remember my dreams yesterday either!! Somone help! Normally on a day like this I would just take a nap but working ten hour days by the time u get home I got about 4 hours to excercize eat and play with my boy! Need some pick me up modivation guys help!!!!!!!

Maybe you are trying too hard? I know that hinders me. Dreaming is easy and natural. That can be easy to forget.

Don't panic man! Sounds like you got a bit stressed. That's the worst for LDing! Try and relax, it will all fall into place, you don't need to force anything. If you need to focus on exercising, eating, your boy etc then you do that, but have fun at it and it will relax you. I had only a couple of dream fragments the other night, but then last night I remembered 7 really long dreams! So it will come, everyone has their dry spells.

Keep your chin up mate it will all be ok!

Awww, that's alright! Try not to think about it too much, as that may only hinder you from what you want to happen. It happens to me all the time, especially since my school schedule is from 7 am to 6 pm, and by the time I get home I still have to do tons of homework and studying until midnight.

Lately my recall has been crappy as well, but from my experience, I learned to just be patient, because the less frustrated you are, the calmer your subconscious will be, and the greater chance for you to remember your dreams and even have lucids! Also, don't worry too much about dry spells, they WILL be broken and it will all be worth the wait! (Hopefully haha)

Anyway, you can do it!

Thanks guys and gales! I'm a lot more relaxed now than before I read all the positive reinforcements thank you! The last time I quit smoking pot it was 2 or 3 weeks later I had a huge rebound an had 3 lucids in 3 days it was amazing! So I guess I wa just expecting it but I'll just relax like u guys sai an focuse on my rc's and SAT. Thanks again!

Hey i would like some good tutorials on SP or tips and tricks can I get some help please and thank you. What's ur fav. Tutorial? I have only exp. that a few times and would live to b able to do it on my own

Hey, I hope this helps http://www.dreamviews.com/f79/compre...alysis-126975/

Sweet thanks!!!!!

I'm not 100% sure on this so let me know. So I got home today after a sweltering hot day at work and I had read the material above ^^ on sp and also looked up a few wild tec. I layed down on my couch were I had experienced sp on accident last week. As I let my body drift off in to max relax I let my mind wander a bit but focused on the sounds around me and brought my attention to knowing I was trying to ld. So get this within 15 min of laying down I started getting visuals. Knowing I was laying there I just let them come and go...... But then out of nowhere I had what I think was the very start of a dream! I started like I was watching judge judy lol there were to black lady's one I knew was goin to start bitching about the other and the next was sitting back waiting for her turn to show all the evidence she had to disprove the dumb lady my focus zoomed in on her portfolio and the she did this thing with her hands as of she was turning a page it sounded like a star wars light saber and her papers turned into a holographic computer very futuristic! I instantly said IM DREAMING!!!!!!!in my mind and snap back to the couch my eyes still closed I Tryed to go back to the "dream" but my heart was on overtime beating so fast! So why I'm not 100% sure on this is because could I have just still been hulucinating? I just happens so quick and I was more of the narrorator rather than 1st person what do u think and any more tips on sp and wild would b great thanks guys!!!!!! One other thing I wanted to add was I dident feel the full effects of sp as everyone explains it mabey I nodded off before I could not sure just need you guys to help determine that thanks again!

Maybe you lost consciousness for a bit and didn't notice SP? Or maybe it was really intense hypnogogic imagery? Not sure if SP can be non-eventful. Also good idea as afternoon naps can give great lucids.

It was amazing only like 30 sec. Dream / hypnagogic i think I nodded off because I don't remember coming to that part at all it's like when I said IN DREAMING I had to recall what happend. But I'm happy I made it that far

Judge Judy is like the *last* DC I would want in my dream.

Lmfao!!!!!!!! Hahaha she is hot though rofl

That's really cool, Wurlman! I'm also confused as to why you didn't experience any SP though. SOUNDS like you were dreaming though. So yes, Xanous' idea that you might have lost consciousness for a bit sounds about right. Actually, my first LD I had shortly after I went to bed. I was daydreaming, and then it was black for a moment, and then suddenly I was at a pool. Loss of consciousness sounds about right, and that awareness you had before falling asleep remained with you while you were asleep.

I guess, anyway. Congrats! So you plan to try WILD regularly? Good luck man, I'm sure you'll have many more successes!

Yea I plan on taking a short nap every day after work now and of course in the middle of the night but last night was not successfully I will keep trying but my naps after work attempts will b more achievable I'm sure I'm really happy though!

Well I almost ended the dry spell last night! I was head butting this guy for poking fun at my girlfriend for her age she looked sad so I headbutted him when I did it felt as if there was something holding me back. I've had this feeling during fights before so I questioned my reality when I did my hand looked normal. So I said wow I really thought this was a dream Tryed to headbutt again because I've always wanted to KO Somone by doing that. But again I was held back so I went back to what I know and punched him he was out cold and I carried on with my nonlucid dream. Either way im happy that I actually recored something and it was a long one to!! Not to mention I was do close to lucidity I'm now going to do three diff. RCs when I decide to preform 1 that way I really put some feeling into them I don't want that to happen again! Hope to hear ur thoughts on this!
