Awesomesauce! Congrats :3

The lucid moment
althought I'am not practicing because of the incredible heat i had a lucid dream this morning,i was amazed how vived it felt.
"i was on the roof of some house,i thought of practicing ADA,every thing looks very real,but i decided to give it a shot,i just "felt" that something is out of place;so i preformed a RC and to my suprise i was correct,i was indeed dreaming,i just stood there,shoked,i sat down on the floor just observing the dream world,i could feel every thing just like in waking life,the dream suddenly faded and i woke up."
this is my number one lucid dream when it comes to vivedness,and when i think of it,i think all of my dreams are equally vived,not paying attention to things is what i think makes a dream hazy,but that just me

Oh for sure! I think that's why everything (most of the time) seems to be clearer when you get lucid. And when it becomes more vivid, it's easier to remember.

yep,that's right,anyway the heat is gone now,and i'am back to practice,can't say much about my recall,any advice?

How have you been recalling your dreams? Your routine when you wake up I mean, or before you get to bed.

I'am trying to keep a steady sleep schedule,but my recall is very bad

Sorry if I asked you before, but do you keep a dream journal besides the one on DV?

Yes I do have a paper DJ if that's what you meant.As for my progress,well,I can't say much about it,I've been terribly busy with school,in addition of the heat problem,hope i can get some free time to focus on lucid dreaming,i was waiting to start practicing so badly but now I have to wait more

I suggest you try to keep doing awareness and reality checks as much as you can, and whenever you remember. The thing is, if you put off stuff like those for later, when the time comes for you to actually do some induction attempts, you might have a harder time. Remember that awareness, reality checks, and the lucid mindset are precursors for lucidity -- kinda like a 'backbone', for when you actually get into the induction attempts. You won't have to wait until you do your attempts to do those..

I understand you must be quite busy, so lucid dreaming might not be at the top of your list, so hopefully you still do those reality checks and stuff if ever anything reminds you about dreaming or anything weird happens...it'll only take even less than a minute


Best of luck to you!

thanx for the helpful advice paigeyemps,i shall to do so.

The fire is eating the nearby forest,and the heat is just unimaginable,goin' to halt lucid dreaming stuff for now,but I don't think it's the best thing to do because my motivation is pretty low and I'am afraid that I will lose all interest in the lucid dreaming topic

Awww, that forest fire sucks

And I understand.. if you need to take a break, do it. I hope you get back though

Wow, I hope everything's okay over there, man! Be safe and try to stay cool.

I hope to see you again soon... after all, it's thanks to you that I found this class! We'll be here when you get back!

I was just reading your workbook and DJ,your last LD was certainly very intersting.
When i was doing that I was like "I am one hundred percent sure that i've talked to this guy before,but when?! and then when you replyed here it struke me"
thanks for the advice,and about the fire,it rained today and most of the fire is gone now

Cool, thanks for checking it out!

I'm so glad to hear that you got that rain and the fires are starting to die down. Hopefully the combination of the rainy weather and the less intense, more contained fires will get you some lower temperatures. I mean, 107 degrees fahrenheit? Dude.

Yeah....it's much colder now,and I'am going to start practicing in a matter of a few days.

Hey, that's great news! Good sleep, good dreams, and colder days to you, my friend!

Heads up: It's almost October! I suggest making a new list of monthly goals you want to achieve, as well as reevaluate your DJ for possible new dream signs or any realizations

Thanks for the reminder paigeyemps.
I'am going to try my best to start practicing this tuesday.I will set a new practicing program and a new list of monthly goals to achieve, and i really hope to be able to start my practice for real.

Ok,I'am really motivated today
I've resumed my ADA practice, and I've been very successful as I didn't forget to do it from time to time as i usually do.I have a slightly different lucid goals now, but my program is pretty much the same.
I've seen the tasks of the month, and I must say that I liked them a lot, so I'am going to try to accomplish the TOTEM for the first time sinse I've joined DV.It should make an interesting experience.

Short-Term Goals:
-Flying.
-Advanced flying.
-Morphing into an animal of my choice.
-Let a vampire bite me, then experience the subsequent transition.
-minor telekinesis.
Long-Term Goals:
-meet my dream guide.
-element manipulation.
-create my own jutsu.(Wind or Water based)
-mass telekinesis

and paigeyemps, I've found that it would be a lot of fun to bend water,I can understand why you like it so much.

That's really good to see your list and great job with keeping up with the ADA.

Also, water is awesome! There are so much that can be done. Turn it to ice, whip it around, freeze people, heal people, bend blood (creepy),and many more! It's really interesting what you can do with it once you get to manipulate it

Bending blood! that's brilliant, yet evil I hope Lisa didn't effected you and made you evil,her avatar gives me the creeps.

I had very vived dreams last night. I woke up to write them in my DJ, but my mind was full of other things of my daily life that caused me to forget a lot about my dreams and I ended up with only two fragments.
I had the same problem when i tried WBTB. I got distracted with my daily life problems and slept.
any thoughts ?
