Thread: Xanous' Workbook

So I started a new department at work today. I was way out of my comfort zone with helped me to continual question reality. I did lose focus this afternoon. I was mostly training and got bored real fast.

Tonight I am going to listen to my guided reality test as I go for a quick ride. Then I'll go over lesson 4.

And I am trying to get used to doing a day review before bed. That seems to help my recall. I forget to do it alot.

Big lucid no whammy!

I think I'll try the 5 htp sounds like it couldn't hurt. Day review sound like a great idea. Mabey Amagin becoming lucid during parts of ur day. I'm going to review tonight!

Oh yeah like day review MILD? Not a bad idea.

I got a large needle in my arm so this will be short. Donating blood lol. I have been continuing with realty checks. I put a rubber band on my wrist as a reminder. I like that one seems to help. I used text RCs and attempt TK were no one can notice. I think I WILD the other night but lost lucidity right away. I have a vague memory of it. Keeping with wbtb mild for now. was too tired last night. I just turned alarms off.

It's the weekend now dude time for some lucids. That's what I did with the rubber band thing it help for about 2 weeks then u forget it's there I think a necklace is next for me!! Good idea bro

Just what I was thinking. I know I will get used to the rubber band so I either get a silicon bracelet or take my wifes hair bands. Anything to switch it up.

How about this? Many people seem to have successes with dutchraptor's tutorial. http://www.dreamviews.com/f12/dutchr...ld-god-134760/

There are also some links in the http://www.dreamviews.com/f151/tutor...lation-133466/

Good luck!

I just got around to looking at all this. There is just not enough time to read everything!

Hhhmm so should I get into the habit of doing RCs whenever I see my wife, coworkers, friends, family members or interact with strangers?

Very nice list, Xanous! What dates does this encompass?

Theoretically, yes. I like using moments of awareness myself. Two of my big dream signs are food and water. So whenever I remember, I RC and think of where I am, what I'm doing--I don't have the energy or the memory to RC and be aware all the time. Especially since I live next to a pond and a pool. With your wife for example, you can think about whether the conversation you two are having makes sense.

Just since 6.15.12. I could have went way back but I didn't think it was relevant.

Sniffle sniffle he's all grown up now lol

Congratulations for graduating from the Intro Class Xanous! You were a model student.

Good luck with Professor Sageous. (Word of warning: don't look him in the eye, or he'll pop you!)

Have funnnnn

LOL Thanks. I think.

I personally think that it just takes time for u to get used to being lucid so keep on keepin on!!!

Yes I've been lucid before but I was so tierd. That I said fuck it and backed out. But I u have tht same attitude next time u will have a better chance to stabilize and stay lucid longer so ur next one I predict will b hella good my dude!

Yeah I've had those too.. like some part of me felt too tired within the lucid to put out the effort to do anything with it. Then I wake up and feel like "What was I THINKING?!? God what a waste." You have to remember that the cohesive flow is way off in dreams, even in lucids. The best way to combat this in my opinion is perform SOME task in every lucid, regardless how small or mundane it may seem. Exercise those lucid muscles

Oh I see what you're saying. Yeah, FAs can be tricky little devils. That's good that you still forced yourself out of your recliner to break out of SP. Alot of people would be too worried that they're real body would move, so they might not even bother trying. Interesting that after you do it, you fall back into SP.. are you able to stand up out of the recliner a bit more slowly? Or do you have to do it forcefully like that to break out of the SP?

edit: You know something that helps me alot I just realized, than whenever I get up in the morning, I believe that I'm in a lucid dream for a while. I think this has helped me to conquer those FAs and turn them into LDs. It's like, if an FA is going to trick me, I'll just trick it right back

Well I've found that when I go slow I feel like I only part of me is able to move and I just end up face first on the floor. I have also tried sliding out of my body from the top of my head but those just turn into OBE type dreams and when I look at myself I slam back in. So this time I just spontaneously tried something different. It worked sorta. I am still not used to transitioning into the dream from SP. I've done it only a few times. Like the mirror TOTM dream.

That's a good idea! May be better than a quick RC. RC's have failed me before. I will try to make this habit. Thanks!

So the next time time I SP I will know to jump up and not be fooled by FA!

Success this morning. I failed WILD but had a great DILD and then DEILD. This time in SP my legs floated up and I just visualized my feet connecting to the floor. Once my feet were on the floor I was able to stand up. I don't know... maybe concentrating on putting my feet to the floor is all I need here. I forgot to RC but there was no FA anyway. Maybe because there was no momentary loss of awareness. I think talking about all this yesterday was a big help and made me really think about things. So thanks!

Same thing this morning. Except I never could make my self see!

I almost DEILD last night but I got excited in SP again and ruined it. idk why I started that! It's really pissing me off. I got to figure out a way to detach a little more.

I will lucid dream tonight and not get excited when I DEILD
