Booney's Workbook

So close!

Last night I was trying to take a picture with my phone in the dream, but people kept standing in front of what I was trying to photograph. (It was a little tree with a coat hanging on it with a little coffee table in front of it full of random stuff)
But as people kept blocking my view I got more frustrated when the atmosphere suddenly changed. People were fleeing from something I don't know, I think even in the dream I was confused about the sudden panic.
So I turned to this girl I knew that didn't run off in fear.. yet. I tried to get her to focus on me and not the chaos around us because I wanted to sent her a message through WhatsApp to confirm to myself in the morning if this whole situation was real or not.
She send a text back and now I'm confused. Because I watched her type the message and send it, but what I received from her on my phone did not match what she typed.
It was that moment that my alarm went off. I think I even heard it coming through in the dream and thinking no, no, no!

That last part could be my imagination adding something after the fact but I was very glad about 2 things I did in this dream.
1) I tried to calm the situation down, we are our dream so you could say I was calming myself down through the girl.
2) I did some elaborate RC with my phone that comes down to just reading something twice.

I feel like I could have turned things around in that dream if it wasn't for my alarm clock.

I'm starting to get the same feeling like when I was about to have my first LD in terms of progress.
Last night I had another convo with a DC that was very similair to a conversation I've had before. Basically we discussed seeing eachother again, in the dreamworld.
Right there and then I was talking to a DC about us being in a dream, and I didn't realize it fully.

All I can do is laugh about it now, but upon awakening it was frustrating.

Next week they will be working on the road in my street, we'll have two kids over that will spent the night and I'm working graveyardshifts again. Let's see how it goes.
Definately buying earplugs now.

Aww good luck man, I understand how stressful roadside constructions can be. Pretty much have it here everyday for a few more years. The area across my house is being turned into some kind of condominium and there's nonstop drilling and whatnot :/ earplugs wont even work for me because my house vibrates all the time haha. Good luck!

Hi.

My LD period has begun once more. I figured I'd just use my old thread here in the intro class to start from scratch.
Looking forward to picking it up again.

Woo! Welcome back Booney!

Thanks, it's great to be back Ophelia! :-)

Well it's been about a week since I picked up LDing again and I've been keeping a DJ.
I can remember a substantial amount of dreams now, then again, recall was never the problem. Reality checks and awareness are my pittfalls when it comes to lucid dreaming.
When remembering my dreams I realize so many obvious dreamsigns are present it's almost frustrating to know I missed them.

As to the awareness, I signed in to Sivason's classes on Dream Yoga.
It seems obvious now for me to follow them along with the basic steps towards lucid dreaming.

Recall is still increasing which is good. It went from a dream and tons of fragments to more dreams.
And I think I had a somewhat DEILD last night? I'm not sure though.

I was at a club in some sort of lounge room with a view of the dancefloor when my sister walks in with some girls I don't know. One of them later takes the form of a familiar face don't know her name though.
Anyway we were having fun and this girls starts whispering something in my ear that wakes me up.
I remember being bummed out for waking up and trying to get back to where I left and I think I returned to the same location but I wasn't in the lounge room anymore. I got some water and returned and the girl was there but we just exchanged looks and that was it.
Further down the dream I remember trying to contact her but then it starts getting fuzzy.

So in the club I was dreaming, I seem to remember thinking some things were off but I didn't think much of it. And now that I'm writing this here I'm almost certain I succesfully re-entered the dream be it not really lucid though.
My biggest accomplishments this week are definitely the quick increase of recall. I hope I can keep it up.

It's funny how one can miss obvious signs.

He's freaking teaching another one to use powers in LDs and it still doesn't register.:lol:

My dreams were full of people last night, like big crowds counting up to the hundreds.
Also Jesse Pinkman (Breaking Bad) tried to jab me with an icepick. I think it's because of me watching the Walking Dead again.

Strange thing about that. First I was resisting him, but than I saw his face, like for real. I noticed his teeth looked weird because he had very bad teeth and started to look less like the "real" Jesse.
And my memory isn't great here but I remember at one point accepting the situation and just let him puncture my brain. Maybe I started to realize I was dreaming and simply let it happen because it wasn't real.
I hope this isn't going to become a trend in my dreams though. A few nights earlier someone kept trying to break my arms and last night I set myself on fire. No fun.
