Hello there, just thought I'd help you out.. SO you might get some use from this http://www.dreamviews.com/f151/tutor...lation-133466/ that's probably where you should start.. It's got all kinds of good stuff in there, including a lot about WILDs which you seem to be interested in.

SO yea ok bye, good luck

:welcome:

Its good to have you here. Make sure you read the lessons starting with one and give those links that Kraom posted a look. Its good stuff. :D

One word of advice. Start slow. I know you are probably really excited but WILDing and having a lucid every night takes a lot of practice a patience. I'm sure you will get there but it's best to always focus on the basics as your foundation. Without it you'll fail. I have to keep reminding myself of this all the time.

Good luck and let us know how we can help.

Hello!
Hope you are doing well.

Thanks for responses.

I need more help please.

Which one should I start 1st from the following list?:

1- Tutorials & Resources Link Compilation?
or
2- Beginner's Intro to Lucid Dreaming - LESSON I?

Waiting for response.

Thanks

I did reality check when I was reading homework requirements.

Next Lucid Dream Goal: Experiment/Manipulation of Dream World/Objects.

Dream Sign:Castle, Village.

Welcome, Jawad! Great to have you here!

I checked out your Dream Journal entry... wow, you are already working with some great material here! Starting with this:

Quote:

---

I am travelling ans searching for DVA everywhere, Mostly in Villages. Then I reached to a village where I found an empty ancient building which is known as DVA.
...
They are coming to me to kill me but i am asking them that I am here just to talk to you about Lucid Dreams. Then Now they are normal and ready to listen me. I am asking them to help me in research of Lucid Dreaming

---

This kind of thing is great. It means that lucid dreaming (and hey, the DVA!) is on your mind. The idea of becoming lucid in a dream is running all through your thoughts and day residue. This is a huge part of the battle! All it takes is that one additional flash of insight to make you lucid. The fact that this happened in two separate dreams is great.

My advice to you is to continue to imagine these dreams (and dreams like them), and remind yourself, "Yes, I should have become lucid when X happened." Any time you find yourself thinking about lucid dreaming, look around and confirm to yourself that the world makes sense. How do you feel? Are you yourself? How do you know that this is not a dream already? Get this mindset ingrained into yourself and it will propel you forward.

You have gotten great advice above. Lucid dreaming takes time, but the effort does pay off. Continue with the lessons and keep us updated on your progress as you proceed.

I would like to especially point out the practice of WBTB. I call this out in particular because this is something that I resisted for a long time but in the end has become absolutely fundamental to my lucidity. It is described in Lesson II and we'll be able to help you with any details or questions that may arise for you. If this isn't something you are already incorporating, it may be the missing piece for you. It was a great help to me.

Good luck and keep us posted!

I would start with the lessons. The other is just extra information.

As always, CL is full great advice!

Night-time routine: I read my last night dreams from my dream journal befor sleeping.

Last Night Experience:

I am a good Dream Re caller. And always remember 4 to 5 dreams per night. But I dont know why Last night I was just be able to recall only bit of fragment of my only one dream. It happen because these days my focus is doubled on Dream recalling and everything. This could be the reason of more dream recalling but its spoiling my dream recalling why?

My Dream: I cant remember any visual. I have just a feeling that I was researching on Lucid dreams. And I was not Lucid.

What happen? Why I couldnt remember my all dreams?

Waiting for response.

Thanks

Nice job with your work book... I like the way that you keep things organized!

Yeah, we all have those nights when dream recall suddenly takes a nosedive. For me it tends to happen when I'm very tired and/or preoccupied with waking life concerns.

Anyhow, try not to stress too much about it -- feelings of stress, pressure, and worry are the opposite of what you'll want for lucid dreaming. You'll have it all back soon enough, so relax your mind as much as you can. Understand that dreams are a force all their own, so some ebb and flow is inevitable.

My first piece of advice would be to (as you did last night) go to sleep reviewing old dreams. (Good job there, btw.) When you settle in for sleep, think about all of the dreaming you're going to do that night and get that sense of eager anticipation. Smiling is okay, too. Nobody's looking. :)

And taking worries or concerns to bed with you is simply not allowed. ;) The problem with this is that these worries will tend to seep back into your mind when you wake up, crowding out your dream memories. Dream memories are hanging by a thread when you first wake up, so before you move or do anything else, go over them in your mind and work to bring them all back.

Also, throughout the day, maintain your waking awareness of the world around you. It's great to go through the day thinking about lucid dreaming, but apply it to the world around you. Pay attention to the little things in the world that everyone else misses. How do you know what you see around you is not a dream? What would it be like and what would you do if it were a dream? By nightfall, you want to be able to visually walk back through what you experienced throughout the day. Building that waking memory in the daytime will help you stay aware at night.

You already have great dream recall, so I'm only reminding you of things that you already know. :) But reviewing the basics never hurts. Let us know if you continue to have trouble and we should have no problem helping you work through it. If we need to break out the apple juice, we shall do it. :D

Last Night Experience:

My dream recall is gone weak, I dont know why. I hardly remembered only 3 dreams with very less details. And still I was not Lucid.


Above experience is after 1st day following DILD technique during the day of 6/12/2012.


Today's Routine:

My chosen techniques are DILD and awareness. And It is my 2nd day to following it. My whole day I am doing RCs and awareness after every one hour.

Hey Jawad, welcome to the Intro Class! I know we talk on chat, but ai wanted to welcome you here as well :D

As for the apple juice and other food not taking effect, don't worry about it. Sometimes it may take a while, and sometimes it just isn't for you. So i suggest sticking with it, and be patient, I'm sure you'll have great results soon! Just keep thinking positive :D

Hmm how do you recall your dreams in the morning? Make sure to not get up right away. When you wake up, take a few minutes to stay in bed and just think about your dreams. Don't think about what you need to do today, or other things. Just focus on recalling your dreams. Lay still and try to remember.

What's important is not the dream itself, but your intention to remember. The more you think about trying to recall your dreams, the more you will recall them in the future. :)

Hello!
Hope you are doing well.
Thanks for your response Paigeyemps.
You are right but the thing is I am following same things which you are advising. I dont know whats happening. I am still trying my best . Please help me so I can have a lucid dream soon. I had my last lucid dream 1 year ago. :-(. I am dying for it. Please Help me.

You must have patience, Jawad. If lucid dreaming teaches you nothing else; It will teach you patience. Just continue and be persistent. Always write what you remember. Write it down even if it is just an image or emotion. Are you on any medications? Sometimes certain drugs will hinder dream recall.

Another thing to thing about... I have found that no matter what pre-bed food or supplements I use it has NO effect for me. BUT when I do it with WBTB my recall picks up and I am more likely to have lucid dreams. Most people have very short REM cycles the first part of the night so there are fewer dreams to remember anyway. So, maybe try apple juice or whatever after 4 or 5 hours of sleep, stay awake for 30 minutes, and then go back to bed focusing on remembering your dreams.

The best solution is to have a good attitude about it, and don't get sad or angery because of it. Believe me I've been there. Also, try to enjoy your normal dreams, and practice WBTB if you can, it does wonders when it comes to dry spells.

Hello Sir!
How are you?
Thanks for your advice. I will follow you and I will include WBTB to my routine.
Thanks again.

Hi Jawad. I hope you have some awesome dreams and lucids soon. Like the others said, patience is the key! :D

Also, it is alright to put your number of dreams recalled here instead of the Intro Class Daily Dream Snippets. That way, you can just put one or two sentences there about what exactly happened in a dream you would like to share with us. And it would also be easier for us to know about your recalled dreams when we come to your workbook :)

I really recommend WBTB! Use it whenever you can. Useful for turning MILDs into WILDs.

Only 8? Why not 9? :lol:

Im just joking. Recalling 8 is really impressive. :clap:

I rarely get that many on a good night. You are really doing something right! Now don't forget to look for dream signs in all those dreams as that will help you become lucid the next time you dream about it.

1st NAP 1st Lucid Dream

Last Bed time: 05:00 pm - Wake up time: 06:45 am

Today I was bit free from projects and was thinking that what should I do? Then I gone through from Napping Article from Lucidity Institute which "OpheliaBlue" provided me. Then I thought I should Take a NAP. I went to my bed and while relaxing myself I started visualizing my next LD goal. After some time I started saying following mantra:"This is a dream and I am lucid and I can do what ever i want". while saying this I slept.

I had 4 to 5 dreams while napping and suddenly in one dream I realized that I am dreaming.

My Lucid Dream: I am in a colony where I have been lived for 10 years. There I was running from a Junk Yard I think I was scared of something and suddenly I realized that I am dreaming, When I realized that I am dreaming, I felt Wao. I Jumped and start flying and came to front of my house from the back side of my home. While Flying I am trying to stabilize my dream by rubbing my hand with each other, But I dont know why a bright day converted into Full Dark It was like I am awaking or may be loosing lucidity. In the Darkness I was falling into darkness but i am still Lucid And thinking that May be dream is teleporting me to other place, Suddenly I had lot of noise, I did my best keep myself Lucid But I Lost it. and reached into Normal dream. :-)

I have feeling that I had one more lucid dream but I dont remember it, I mean I am not sure about it.

Waiting for response.

1. Why I couldn't remember My LD Goal in my Lucid dream?

---

It takes quite a bit of awareness to even become lucid. It takes more awareness to actually remember things that we planned out since our logical mind isn't functioning too well in the dream. I suggest thinking and reading your goals right before bed, and a few times in the day so it really goes into your mind and it will be easier to remember.

Quote:

---

2. Why I couldn't keep maintain it?

---

It's normal to have very unstable dreams, especially in your first few lucids. But don't worry, that's only because it's a totally new thing and you're kind of not used to it yet. But it will get better in your future lucids! And it was a good thing you tried to stabilize, at least you remembered!

Quote:

---

3. Why I went to darkness?

---

Dreams often toss out really random things, so there isn't really an explanation for why those stuff happen. However, many people do experience their dream fading away once they start to wake up. I guess that's just the way the dream kind of "turns off". :3

Quote:

4. Advises for me?

Congrats on your first lucid!! Keep doing what you're doing. Now you knowhow awesome it can feel! :D Use that as your motivation, and keep thinking positive! :D

I'm so happy for your first lucid. It's a great feeling isn't it.

I dont have much time to break it all down but I think paigey covered it well.

All the stuff you exprienced is really common and normal. You will soon learn to work with it. Congratulations!

Hi Jawad. For your goals, I would suggest doing something simple for now. Maybe try to make something simple appear, like your favorite object, or a person. You can think about them when you get lucid, or imagine them being there when you turn around. Or maybe you'd like to fly? You can jump up and just think you can fly. You can also make things move with your mind. Those are the basic ones I think you should try out.

Good luck :)

Jawad, great job on staying so diligent with the dream journaling. Recalling 5 dreams is actually very respectable! Heck, I find that if I go to bed very tired and unfocused, I'll still occasionally have nights where I recall no dreams at all!

How about your WBTB? Are you still able to practice this? I noticed that you hadn't mentioned it in the last few entries and I was just curious. WBTB is a huge force in achieving lucidity, and it's difficult for me to overstate its importance. The downside, of course, is that it's quite demanding schedule-wise, so don't feel like you MUST incorporate it even when you're feeling tired and run down. I'm just trying to get a read on whether you're still able to fit it in.

If you are including a WBTB, how do you currently have it structured?

Good luck and keep up the good work with your dream journaling. Paigey's advice about looking for dreamsigns is great, so if you run across some new ones, you can write em down and integrate them into your practice. This is yet another thing that thorough journaling enables, so use it to your advantage!

Hello :)

Thank you so much paigeyemps and CanisLucidus for detailed guidance.

Paige you are right I should find out some dream signs from my dreams. Now I am going to observe my dreams and then will tell you about my dream signs.

CanisLucidus you are right that WBTB is a best technique to have Lucid Dreams but there days I am missing it because of late night sleep. I am busy in some projects these days thats why i am not able to get up between my sleep. My Now I will maintain my sleep and start WBTB again.

In my next emails I am going to give you report about your questions.

Thanks for concerning.

Take care

Jawad

Hi Jawad! If I read that right, it sounds like you are sleeping until about noon. Since the sun is out big time by then, it may pay off for you to examine your sleeping environment. What you will want to watch out for there is keeping yourself from being exposed to sunlight while you are trying to have your late-morning sleep. Your best REM is going to come toward the end of sleep, so things like black-out curtains and even sleep masks could be helpful if you are having any trouble keeping the sun out of your room.

Speaking from personal experience, I get my best sleep when my room is pitch dark. The more like a cave, the better, at least for me. :) The shutters in our bedroom just can't quite keep out all of the sunlight, I find, but I get around that by going to bed pretty early most nights.

Anyway, just some food for thought. Good job as usual keeping up with your journaling!

Hello!
Hope you are very well.
You are right. But instead of everything I am going to correct my sleep timing. And I am also going to arrange black-out curtain for my room's window.
Thanks for your advice.
Best of Luck
Jawad

Good! Very good, in fact... this is a great list.

My personal recommendation for dream signs is to take special note any time that you encounter or think about these things. For example, when you see one of your brothers, think about war, etc. immediately try to prove to yourself whether or not this is a dream. Do it suddenly and with some urgency. Give yourself that, "Oh crap, I forgot something!" feeling.

Do you know that feeling you get when you almost forget to do some important task or make some important payment? That bolt of reminder from out of nowhere? That is called "prospective memory", and it works even in non-lucid dreams. You want to feel that when you're in a dream. You want your prospective memory to come to life in the dream and remind you that, "Oh yeah! I was supposed to be making sure I'm not dreaming!" The habit of prospective memory is one that can cross the border between waking life and dream life.

This is IMO the best use of dream signs, and the "feeling" I get in the majority of my DILDs. If you are interested in a really thorough treatment of dream signs, Steven LaBerge's descriptions in "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" are very illuminating.

Dream Signs
Thanks CanisLucidus!

How can i see these dream signs in my daily life? Because My brothers, My Cousin (Sajid), My Fiance they are not with me. They live in other city and we meet with each other after 6 months. And non of dream signs i am experiencing in my daily life because those are not exist in my daily life. I goes to my other house after every 1 year. What should I do?

You can reality check anytime your dream signs come into your mind, even if they're not there physically. Whenever something reminds you of them, reality check. Also, you can do your other normal reality checks, and while you are doing them, look around you and seeif your dream signs might be there. Sometimes in dreams, they're there but you just dont notice them :)

At this point, I'd say assess whether you want to continue honing and refining your practices with DILD or if you want to try on another technique. You may find that a more regimented technique in the DILD family (such as MILD) could be a good fit for you. There's a MILD guide in the "Resources" section of the class, so I might suggest giving that a look if you're interested in that technique.

But that's just what occurs to me. Sticking with what you're doing is also fine... you did get lucid this way! And perhaps take another look at lesson II and see whether you see some other tech that looks good to you. Think it over and see what looks right for you!

Homework- Submission

1st of all I would like to tell you that Why these days I am not submitting my workbook. In fact its my wedding by next month and I am busy in different preparations. So thats why I was missing.

And Good News is I had 4 Lucid Dreams in only 10 days. Two LD's were transformed from normal dream. And two were WILD. :-)

LUCID DREAM 1 - 30-12-2012: 30-12-2012-Dreams - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

LUCID DREAM 2 - 03-01-2013: 03-01-2013-Dreams - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

LUCID DREAM (WILD) 3-4 - 07-01-2013: 07-01-2013-Dreams - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

I had two WILD while listening following Hypnosis: Sleep Hypnosis Easy Lucid Dreaming - YouTube

I have a confusion. I was not having any lucid dream when I was struggling for Lucid Dreams. But When I left every kind of technique and was busy in my wedding shopping then I started to have lucid dreams continuously. What is the fact behind this?

Thanks

Muhammad Jawad

Hey, congratulations on your coming wedding, Jawad! It's great that your practice has done so well when you're no doubt distracted with lots of waking life duties.

You asked what went right for you here. If I had to guess, you probably felt less stressed about lucid dreaming once you allowed yourself not to get too bothered when you didn't have one. It's completely normal for lucid dream frequency to ebb and flow, and it's best not to get upset about this natural process. In addition, planning for a wedding probably led to more interesting day residue.

It could also be that hypnosis works exceptionally well for you! It's really cool that you had success with that. Did you put that on after WBTB?

So all in all, you kept up your WBTB (very important IMO), didn't stress yourself out by worrying so much when you didn't have an LD, and just generally grew more skilled as a lucid dreamer. All great stuff!

Congratulations on your success and coming nuptials... keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for guidance.

Yes I did it after WBTB.

I have one more question Why i couldn't pass my fingers through my hand?

Can we see our reflection in mirrors in dream?

Cool, I will definitely have to try your hypnosis video out at some point. I tried one when I was first trying to lucid dream, but I knew basically nothing about how to LD. I put it on at the beginning of the night (I still didn't know I should WBTB at this point, lol). When the narrator whispered "Do a reality check!" it scared the heck out of me and woke me up. :D I'll do it right this time.

The finger through palm reality check isn't always 100% reliable unfortunately. It has always worked for me in the end but sometimes it takes tremendous effort. I have to really focus, and sometimes twist my finger back and forth and kind of screw it into my palm. I still use this RC because I find it so cool, but the reliability just isn't top notch. (Nose pinch is probably the best I've found.)

I always can, although I'm often dressed differently or look extremely buff. :lol: OpheliaBlue does tons of work with mirrors in her dreams, so she definitely can. Xanous has definitely caught his own reflection in a mirror before. All in all, they work well for most people.

And of course, the best way to find out how mirrors work for you is to try it and let us know how it goes! :)

Hey Jawad! Congrats on the wedding! :party:
