Thread: Wurlmans workbook!

Thank u so much!

Sure thing

Noob mistakes no work today and I still told myself o that dream is not important to recored lmao now a swift kick in my ass would b nice! Also right after I woke up this mornin I decided no this one I'm recording I don't care how dumb it is and as I looked at my phone I had a text I read the text and poof the dream was lost forever lmao come on dave!!!!

/me kicks Wurlman's ass.

Well, hopefully something will spark the memory of your dream later on.

/me kicks it again for good measure.

Woot! Finally three dreams slowly but surly I'm working my way back up. I was watching green lantern last night for my second time. "great movie" and two of my dreams were about collecting and flying through Green light wave matieral in the movie it's "will" in my dream it was lucid stuff it dident trigger anything. I also read rarecolas totm in his DJ and set in alarm after 6 hours of sleep then pased around my living room and kitchen for 30 min and basically amagined that I was lucid and what I would do. My son started crying just as my HI kicked in so another shot on my side and then another on my stomach about 20 min intervals and nothing. Still happy with my progress though 3 recorded dreams.

Yea I drank last night I'm going to take a nap and hopefully I can kill a dry spell! And possibly complete the totm on my first try lol all my friends have wings now but me lololol OATH: I David Wurlman herby takes a vow and will record all dreams no matter how big, small or tierd I am. amen? Lol

You crack me up dude. Its gonna happen.

Hahaha you can do it! Go get those wings Wurlman! :3

Well it finally happen I broke the dry spell dident last long but it was a lucid so im happy!! I was sitting with my son on the chair he was asleep and as I dose off I did my mantra. Soon after I found myself working on a cardboard box about 5 foot from we're I sleep I was compelled to check on my son thaw when I realized I was dreaming. My vision was blurry and I did a hand RC for some reason my hand rc's just don't work anymore only this time I just shrugged it of and said I know I'm dreaming I don't need the RC. Vision still blurry and heart racing I Tryed to rub my hands but they wouldn't come togeather so I Tryed rubbing my fingers together I awoke in my chair still rubbing my fingers togeTher another thing I remember in the dream is when I looked at the chair I was sitting on it was levitating about 5" off the ground and my spare bedroom door was open. Like I said not long but I finally kicked that dry spell in its *** lol now a few more shortys and I'll b back to we're I had left off And I can appreciate some longer ones. Hum wonder what the next totm is????? I instantly thought about that when I became lucid btw I want them wings lol

HA! Sweet dude. Thats a good start. I glad you did it!

I'm proud of you! You'll be having more lucids in no time

Congrats!! That's really awesome news! One thing though, I know how you feel about shrugging RCs off when you know you're already dreaming. I've been through that plenty of times, and I think you should try to avoid shrugging them off if you can. You might get used to it, and you could miss doing RCs when you're non-lucid, and thus miss the chance of becoming lucid. I've also heard that in some cases, RCing can be used to stabilize the dream since it makes you more aware that it is indeed not reality, thus anchoring you to the dream. Or something like that.

Anyway, great job Wurlman!

For some reason my heart races every time I do the hand RC and I wake up the two dreams I did have that lasted longer than normall I just knew I was lucid and I dident do an RC mabey just keep doing them in a dream and eventually I won't freak out?????
Thank u so much for all it help live ur DJ Paigey

Ah, probably! Ophelia told me she had those feelings about hand RCs before. Me too, I guess, especially in the first few weeks of my attempts. I could really feel the fingers go through my palms and see it pierce the flesh. It really freaked me out before, and I would wake up sometimes because of that. Perhaps doing it plenty of times would do the trick; if not, you can always find a different RC to suit you

oh hey i think there's gonna be a class in an hour (on irc chat), if you wanna join

edit: not sure though, there seem to be very few people online today

Thanks for the invite but I'm at work I wish I could thank u very much for letting me know!!

Ok I have a few ?s Do we get rem sleep when we take naps after we have been up for a long pierod of time? I get up at 530 and I was wondering if I come home and take a nap around 6 630ish if that's not worth it because I won't get ten sleep? Or I'm I misunderstanding something I may have read online? Thanks for the help I will b starting lesson 3 wen.

Hmmm not sure if you're referring to REM rebound or power napping? From what i understand, REM rebound is when you get longer and earlier REM cycles which happens when you've been up for a long time and your body tries to catch up on all the missed REM once you start sleeping again. Power napping is when you take like a 30 minute nap or something (after being up for a few hours), since the last 25 minutes or so are in REM, and REM is basically what "energizes us". Im not really sure though, i think i have to do some more research because im not quite familiar with these stuff. But here's a link i saw earlier, you can read the last part about the power napping thing. http://www.dreamviews.com/f33/rem-sl...ml#post1482408

Hum I'm wondering if I nap after being up for 11hours if I will have rem when I nap? I'll read that material

I always have dreams, and sometimes awesome LDs during a nap. So go for it man!

Recorded 2 dreams last night. I switched everything up because I've been having a lot of trouble with recall so I set three alarms and focused all intention on remembering. I don't want to move on to lesson 3 intell I'm back up to 2 dreams a night. But I think last night starts my new recall era. I've also been listening to all of dr. Stephen laberges YouTube videos there is a series of 12 all about 10 min long. Very interesting if anyone has tips on better recall I would love a refresher

Ohey, if you have a hard time remembering your dreams: If you know all/some of your dream signs, you can go through each one in your mind and think if they were in your dreams. That would be better than just laying there and trying to remember out of nothing at all Hope this helps.

Cool Ill have to check that out. The alarm clock think sound about right. Also you can try experimenting with caffeine. I don't know how it affects you but it helps me sometimes without being to awake. Then there's B vitamins but the make me have RLS.

I'm back in business I recorded another two dreams this morning and a fragment I also have been doing great on remembering to do rc's apon waking up! This weekend should be the ideal breeding ground for a lucid. I also have been doing a new RC trying to put my hand through a mirror! My Ada/sat has been amazing it's at least every 30 min I ask myself were I have been 5 min. Ago and question my reality. I should b ready for lesson three soon now!!
