Thread: Kraom's Workbook

Oyy kraom welcome back!

Well we see each other in chat a lot anyway so see you around. Good luck :3

Just a quick update, I had a pretty short uneventful lucid dream this morning. Just really rolled out of my bed in the dream somehow spontaneously realized I was dreaming and then just walked, because everything else I tried didn't work, I tried telekinesis and floating. Ended up walking into my bathroom and then back out and then I thought maybe I wasn't dreaming, but honestly I have never actually mistaken waking life for a dream, so I should really trust my instincts, just maybe not jump down the stairs... or anything too rash.. Oh also, I've been too lazy to WILD and forgetting to use EILD so no update on either of those, this was just a DILD.

So this morning I couldn't even recall a dream, whatever.. BUT when I got home from school today I decided to take a nap, and I'm pretty sure I experienced the precursor to a WILD, accidentally. SO, here I was laying on my back after shifting positions from my nap and I was sort of going in and out of consciousness and all of a sudden I get this weird feeling in my head, but I didn't really mind, it felt interesting. And then I hear a voice, and usually when I'm napping my thoughts just kind of happen on their own, but this voice was more than that and I could tell it was in my head but it was much louder than my thoughts and was perfectly clear. The voice said, "Pardon me sir but have you seen a wolf by the name of Ronaldo?" I was actually going to reply to the voice because why not, until it started feeling like I was floating and then it felt like my body was contorting and like moving in like a sort of liquid manner and again I didn't mind this either because it felt really intense and I love intense feelings, other than pain.. And so eventually I thought it might be a WILD and so I thought maybe I should try and breakthrough to a dream and so I saw what looked like the screen of my phone if I was holding it under a blanket, and I ended up sort of trying to force myself through the phone with the anticipation that when I made it I'd been in a dream, and while I was forcing myself through the phone it was as if I were flying through the air at an extremely high speed and my entire body was vibrating and this felt more intense than the floating/contorting. Eventually I was just seeing the back of my eyelids again and the intense feelings just faded, so I opened my eyes and yea I was just awake. Not exactly sure how I went wrong and if this wasn't what a WILD is like than I have NO IDEA what one is like..

Well, I forgot to post in my workbook yesterday even though I had a lucid dream yesterday morning. In it nothing much happened I was in a department store and there were two guys and for some reason I tried telekinesising one of their heads off, and it didn't work. I also noticed that in this dream I could not at all talk. I was losing stability and then one of the guys asked me something and when I responded with, "mhmm" which had to be made from my throat, the dream re-stabilized. But then after a short period of stability it completed collapsed instead of just fading.

THIS MORNING, I had two lucid dreams and then a period of like a bunch of little lucid dreamlets, so that was cool. In one I just remember looking at my hands and trying to stabilize, boring. But the other was much more interesting and I ended up flying and attempted to speak to a dream character both telepathically and verbally, but she didn't respond either time just stared at me.. maybe she was mute..

Had a nice long lucid dream this morning, ended up with some female DCs in are car on my way to get some drugs when it ended. :/
Other than that, I'm going to start napping everyday in the afternoon because I found a good time where I have dreams, and actually became lucid in an afternoon nap the other day. Also went into some SP too, so afternoon naps seem to be good. There are also some various things I'll be doing during my naps that trigger DEILDs that I noticed, but I still have to play around with that method and perfect it..

This morning I had another pretty long lucid dream and then, what I think was a WILD that turned into a sort of DEILD chain anyway ended up with a bunch of lucid dreams and lucid dreamlets. Overall super good morning.

This morning I had several lucid dreams (like more than four) as it was my sleep in day. But, I was just flying around and doing telekinesis.. so, I think that I should really work on my impulsiveness and try and actually get some set tasks done..

Wow! More than four lucids? That's really good work.

Haha thanks.. now if only I could remember my task list..

Also, nothing I really remember from this morning, I woke up before my alarm and didn't have time to really get back to sleep.. oh well.

I know what you mean about doing the same things over and over again in lucids. I find it really cool that one of your automatic "go to" activities in lucids is telekinesis. I share the flying one with you, even in really low level lucids. But telekinesis has never been naturally easy for me. Something I should work on more!

Anyway, like we were discussing in the chat class earlier today, making the effort to have those 2 or 3 goals already memorized should prove helpful. Personally, I make myself remember them by thinking of them on and off during the day, then again as I'm going to sleep, then again as I'm going back to sleep during my WBTB. I also try to keep them consistent. Unless it's an already accomplished goal, I keep them the same. Maybe one or 2 TOTMs, and then a personal one. I know that I, and others, find ourselves lucid, then end up going for a previous TOTM on accident lol. It helps to reinforce these goals throughout the day. I also noticed that the focus required to remember the goals in a lucid, and then carry them out, is a little bit of stabilization in itself.

I can't wait to see what you accomplish next Kraom

Is it bad if I'm getting bitter after having ONLY two lucids in a morning.. I think I'm getting lucid spoiled
Anyways, like I said two lucids this morning one was meh, I can hardly remember it. And the other was alright it kind of ended prematurely which was entirely my fault really. But the good news is in that lucid I took a step in the right direction and was able to overcome my impulsiveness and remember the task I wanted to do.

I've been accidentally WILDing more and more lately.. This morning I had a WILD, accompanied by some slight SP and auditory hallucinations. At first I had woken up with the intention to TRY and WILD, but I ended up rolling over and trying to go back to sleep, then I reached this state where I could just start forming a dream. Strangely though I couldn't get the quality to be all that great, it had it's moments in the dream, but overall kind of lack luster. After my initial WILD I would wake up back into the exact same state and be able to form a new dream. So I did it again and then once more after that dream ended. And after having three lucids I snapped out of the state I was waking into, sadly.

So even though I couldn't really get that great of quality out of them, it was still better than having no lucids FOR SURE. And, I could still use dream powers and whatnot, I guess I'm being kind of picky about the quality.. it was alright.. Also, I was able to remember what I wanted to do again in my lucids, so that's good. Oh and I tried that 'Omm' stabilization technique and while everything did resonate in my dream, it resonated too much and even I resonated and that's what led to the end of my first lucid.. SO, I don't think that technique is really for me, maybe I'll try it again sometime though, just to be sure. I also found when trying to engage my sense of smell it was throwing me off, I don't know what that's about. Right now it seems like the sense that helped stabilize and increase clarity the most was touch. Although, I forgot about taste! Anyways, Overall, a good morning I'd say and I think that I learned a lot.

Yay congrats on this! It may seem like a little thing, but remembering something in your lucid (something that your waking life self specifically wanted you to remember to do in the lucid dream) is a huge step in awareness in lucidity. And doing this regularly will change the course of your lucid dreams forever. It's like, your lucid self and waking life self are more connected now, and can communicate with each other better.

Sorry that the Ohmmm didn't work so well. But there again, it's awesome that your lucid self was remembering the things we talked about in chat.

Well had a short lucid dream this morning, but I ruined it again.. Don't know why it is I can't close my eyes in a dream. But I was able again to remember something that I wanted to do in a dream and tried it out. SO not all bad I guess..

Well, haven't really updated this in a while hmm, havin' a bit of a dry spell, haven't been sleeping that well.. But I'm trying something tonight so we'll see how that goes, I'm hoping well. Should I either go really well or really bad.

Well, finally broke my dry spell this morning with a nice long lucid dream. Flew up into space and walked on water..

Haven't updated in a few days.
On thursday I had a lucid, don't remember really the length or quality of it. I really should start journaling my dreams again..
Friday, had an insane series of dreams, kind of beyond explanation by words. I literally kind of went insane in this dream series..
This morning, I had a pretty long lucid where I had a kind of friendly fight with a friend of mine that happened to be a DC. I bestowed upon him powers, which I later revoked when he was beating me, kind of cheap, but whatever. Used a bunch of abilities that I'd never done before, was a pretty awesome dream.
