Congrats quietness! |

Great news! I had another LD last night after a looong time. I used a new sandalwood incense I bought yesterday from Divisoria, in a candle shop. Found it purely by accident. |

Congrats quietness! |

Yeah. I have better recall when I sleep on my right, and the stories are more consistent, I think (I have to track back and check my dreams since I started sleeping on my right side). |
|
Nice! I noticed I sleep better on my left, and with my arms over my head. x) When I lie down that way, my dreams are somewhat more vivid. |

That's awesome! |
|
That's so funny, I'm a woman and I sleep better on my right. Why do I always gotta be the weird one |
|
Yep, I'm female. :3 |

After the apple juice, I wasn't able to remember my dream (T_T) I guess it wasn't as effective for me. (T_T) But at least I got an interesting dream the day after (^_^) I'll post it soon. <3 |
|
Here's the link for my latest dream (^_^) Not lucid, but I'm working on the ADA every single day. I keep forgetting doing MILD though, and I had to skip WBTB a few times because of some conflict in sched. |
|
Your last dream was certainly interesting and seemed very enjoyable, which is a reminder to not only look for LD's, because ND's can be really fun too. |

Thank you, Areyoume (^_^) I tried ADA before, I think via Sageous' tutorial, but I couldn't hack it (@_@) For some reason, I find it easier now, although I have to make sure I don't make it something mechanical |
|
I had an interesting dream/daydream while trying to fall asleep for an entire hour. I had coffee around lunch, forgetting that I was planning to sleep. |
|
I think you should keep plugging away at ADA. Some days will be harder than others. There is no need to wear yourself out over it. Just back off when you feel like that. Besides, I am not sure the true ADA is possible but its the TRYING that is important. |
|
Thanx ^_^ Actually, I'm doing ADA kinda fine. Better than before, I think. I just find it ironic because I thought it will help me become more aware in my dreams. :/ Maybe I'm too mechanical about it, but I'm not sure. I think this trouble started the night when I started studying Enochian in depth. I've been having more difficulty remembering dreams since then. But I couldn't be too sure. |

Zombies and stuff. Strangely, I was not afraid. It was more adventurous than anything, although the smell was simply ghastly o.O Dreams that smell are probably the worst kinds, unless it's a good smell. |

I said this in your DJ already, but would it be cool if in your next lucid dream, you find that t-shirt that acts as a portal. I wonder what all the different things/props/devices that dreamers have used as a portal or to transport. I've used phasing through mirrors or walls or the floor, but nothing fancier than that. |

Yea I agree with Ophie. I have done this little trick one time: |

Thank you. (^_^) I've been too busy lately due to a major event, and I think the stress discouraged me from remembering my dreams at all (T_T) But last night, I had an interesting dream. |

I think my exploration and practice of the Buddhism morality might be affecting my ability for dreams, but that's just my amateur opinion. I notice that my dreams are mostly composed of fantastical events, violence, etc., and the Buddhism mindset advocates kindness and peace. However, that's not something very memorable (@_@). I recently found myself reading Demons: The Fallen, Eyes of the Dragon, and a few pages of DarkTower, and I start to remember my dreams again, in all their fantastically violent colors. Try this dream for example. |

I think that you dreaming about violent events doesn't necessarily reflect a bad nature. I think that it is inherent to have those thoughts, and usually you just don't reinforce them. Another thing is that it's totally normal for those kinds of themes to occur. Since you focus more on peace and happiness, there has to be a reference to it – something that can make you know that that is peace and happiness, and those references are the opposite of those things. It's |

Thanx, Paigeyemps (^_^) I think I'll continue sticking with the Dream Yoga + ADA, although the awareness is becoming a lot more challenging. It was easy the first several days, but over time it becomes challenging. Also, rather than exploring Tibetan Buddhism as a whole, I think I'll just focus on the Tibetan Dream Yoga for now. I was tempted to go into another technique, but it might set me back again to square one because it's a mostly different style. (T_T) |

Hey Quietness! I'm sorry about all of the unpleasant dream content you've had lately, but I actually have sort of a different perspective that I hope will help you. See what you think. |
|
Oh, I think there's a misunderstanding. I don't mind nightmares. Although some dreams are unpleasant, I never thought of them as draw backs, but more, as you have suggested, as dream signs. |
