Thread: MysticalDipshit's Workbook

CURRENT GOALS: DREAM CONTROL AND WILD/DEILD

Hey! I'm MysticalDipshit, but you can call me Myst.

So, like I said in the sign-up thread, I saw the DVA and figured it would be a good idea to come check it out ^.^

I heard about lucid dreaming a year ago, but I never looked into it. I always thought it was fake. But about 2 months ago I decided to look it up, and I saw how awesome it looked. I gave up after 2 weeks, because I was mostly busy, and my mum thought the idea was ridiculous. But a couple of weeks ago, I randomly had about 20 seconds of lucidity, before I got too excited and lost it. So now I'm motivated to keep at it until I can have them frequently.

Reality Checks:
- Looking at the detail on my hands
- The nose plug RC
- Pushing my fingers through my palm

Dream Signs:
- Trying to run or hit something and it feels like my body and the other object are like the same end of 2 magnets that wont touch no matter how hard I try.
- Contradicting logic. For example, there will be a horde of zombies chasing me and some others. I say that there is a safe room that is so strong it can hold them off for months. They then break in in a couple of hours. (This is probably just all round dreaming anyway.)

(I'll update this in the future. I don't have many right now. My dreams are all too different, but I'm sure as I record more there will be more signs )

Short-Term Goals:
- To fly. Oh yeah.
- Create a food that can taste of anything, and it gets better the more you eat it.
- Annoy DC's by playing tricks on them and stuff.

(I have a list of about 30+ things I want to eventually do, but they are quite complicated.)

Long-Term Goals:
- To be able to have a few lucid dreams a month/frequently
- To use lucid dreaming to overcome fears (Figured it would be possible given the fact that you have your own controlled environment where nothing can harm you. Your subconscious wouldn't notice the difference between reality and dreams, therefore the continuous exposure = no fear.)
- To have a lucid dream that feels longer than it actually is. For example, I sleep for 30 minutes, but the dream lasts 2 hours. (Without time skipping)

Lucid/Dream Recall History:
Throughout my life, up until before about 9 months ago, I had very long, vivid adventure type dreams at least every other day. However I have had really bad insomnia. Meditation and things like that have had a good impact though, and since finding out about lucid dreaming, I am now back to sleeping like a normal person!

It still feels weird going to sleep before midnight, but it's all good. Occasionally I get the odd sleepless night, or if I wake up after a dream at about 3 or 4am, I wont go back to sleep. I'm sure that my sleeping pattern is now as regular as it's going to be. Because of the insomnia, I haven't been able to recall as many dreams as I used to, but within a couple of days of using a dream journal, I am quickly getting used to remembering many dreams. I think that by the end of this week, or definitely next week, I should be back to how often I used to recall dreams, although I may more seeing as I am now using a dream journal/mantras etc.

I have only had 1 sort lucid dream, where all of the way through I was telling myself it was a dream, but I only realized it WAS a dream on the 100th try. Then I had 20 seconds of lucidness before getting too excited and losing control.

Current Technique:
- DILD
(Things that involve getting up during the night aren't really a good idea for me at the minute)


So I guess this is the start of my new workbook!
