Ooooh good to know, thanks Rare! :D Would the auditory noises in SP be auditory HH or....?

From what I understand, there are two different types of auditory noises you can hear. There's the type that's associated with the hypnagogic imagery you see behind your eyes, and there's the hallucinatory type. The imagery type is more "in your head" whereas the hallucinatory type appears to be more of an "outside" sound.
Yeah, last night was pretty weird but I think I figured out what happened. I must have dreamt about dreaming and became lucid in a dream of a dream. (in other words I wasn't actually lucid) So the actual way the lucid one went was, I was with my family and we were going to leave to somewhere about 2 hours away (driving). So as soon as I entered the car, it shifted to near halfway there and I thought if we're already here I must be dreaming. Then I proceeded to do something (it was blurry though) and fell back into my sleep cycle. I know it was not actually lucid, cause I feel nothing but confused now (usually people feel excited), and I would've probably woken up at best a few minutes after becoming lucid, which I didn't.
Also, I have been getting used to looking at my HI when I notice it. It's pretty weird sometimes (although I can't really control it that much, usually just random).
OH you're so almost there. You at least questioned your reality before slipping back into your sleep cycle, so you are so incredibly on the right track!Quote:

Another update (first DJ entry online) : Right Here
I also found some very good inspiration for lucid dreaming. I've always liked the worlds that they describe in different fiction books, so I could become a character in one of the books. Another idea I had was that I could try doing some magic (which I would quite enjoy).
Oh nice! You can incubate/visualize your preferred dream scenes, such as the fictional worlds you read about. I sometimes do this too, but I suck at visualization lol. But when they do come true, well, dreams really do come true! It's awesome, living in a world you made up on your own, with your own mind. :D
P.S. Magic is awesome!! Gaaaaaajdqwyerjsahdbwqaier it just really is. hahhaa Good luck :)
Just a thought: August is coming up! Why don't you create a list of personal lucid goals you would like to achieve this month? It can help motivate you and put you in a better mindset to get lucid sooner! Good luck. :banana:
Well, I obviously haven't posted since a while, but I keep trying my MILD techniques.
My goals for this month are:
Get better at my recall (and get back into doing my dream journal)
Get my first lucid
Use magic ex: summon something or use magic like most magicians in RPGs
I've also been trying to use this new thing I found here : Free Lucid Dreaming Subliminal Video
(I also have a possible reason for not getting my lucid yet: I'm only 14 as of now. I found in a study that many young people have lucid dreams without noticing, and so I may notice one by increasing my recall.)
