Thread: oneiroer's workbook

Thanks guys. I've decided to write down what I want to do in lucid dreams. I think that was one of the first homework assignments... Anyway now I know why motivation is important! Desire and intention will most definitely bring on dreams/lucid dreams.

Arg...went to bed at 3am... woke up at around 5am because a dog was barking... I was having a lucid dream but I could only remember a person...

Edit: Can I get like earplugs or something else (would they work?) to block out sounds? 'cause there's a dog in my neighborhood who barks fairly often...

^^Oh yes, these definitely help!

Thank you NyxCC. Until I buy some earplugs I'm gonna try this app called Relax Melodies: Sleep & Yoga for android. Gonna try to MILD tonight. Will really try WBTB when I have more time to sleep.

cant sleep yet but will try to be lucid in early morning... anyway I started thinking and writing about a dream I had. my writing is kinda christian...but I'm open pretty open minded... anyway wanted to share what I wrote about a dream I had a while back. not sure if I already did this but I think this poem/lyric thing is new...

the lion I see
looks down at me
humility rages war with my pride
I'm distracted by the soldiers on either side
my humility takes a bite out of my pride
I'm well protected

Very profound, I like it. Also the other one about the unknown...

Thank you very much NyxCC. Glad you liked them!

seriously needing earplugs. i was beginning to have a good dream but got woken up. thankfully getting some this week.

was aware enough in my dream last night to be lucid. it was strange... people were in the air and i dont think they were flying, i think they were either floating or being thrown around like sling shots... and an update: the dog thats been waking me up hasnt woken me up in a while.

thought of a few things to do in my lucid dreams for motivation...

solve problems
create music
create stories (from my dreams)
explore the dream world

does writing down times to bed and wake help with remembering dreams? first night i tried this i think i had a lucid dream. but second night no recall... but last night i dont think i did that and remembered part of an end of the world dream... i think it does help but any of your thoughts about this?

I'm afraid that I just don't know, oneiroer, but sounds like a very worthy experiment! At the very least it's a great way to do recordkeeping and see what a difference a good night's sleep makes.

I wish that I could give you an answer on it, but how about trying it consistently for 2 weeks and letting us know how it goes for you? I'd love to learn a new trick like this! It's not a habit I'm currently very good about.

thank you canislucidus i will.

i am using today as my dream day i decided for now. i wanted to share a cool lucid dream i just had. i feel a lady was teaching me things like changing door sizes with hand motions and making doors appear. i even remember seeing a small door in someone's eye... strange but i seemed to be very lucid in this dream.

edit did i chain two dreams? before the one i just described i had a dream of a relative that passed away. i dont think i saw her but felt her presence. after this dream i woke up then went back to sleep and had the dream i described.

Congrats on the ld! That's a super cool experience you had. A lot of us spend time wandering the dream world, looking for a DC willing to show us a few cool tricks. It's great you came across one.

About the chaining, I am slightly confused about the use of terminology here...do you mean if it was a deild? Could be.

ill research dream chaining and explain...

i had a coincidence or not today. i have an opportunity to move and i remember dreaming a 4 digit number a while back. i think it was the address of the place i could be moving to!

well with that precognition experience i thought i had i figure the dream was either warning me not to move there or just letting me know of the possibility. it looks like the move isnt gonna work out... anyway just makes me want to connect with my dreams even more!

i have been remembering more dreams in the morning lately. i was having a lucid dream last night at about 1 in the morning but that dog i mentioned before woke me up from it... the ear plugs i got dont seem to work... are there different kinds?

Congrats on the ld! Sorry to hear about the dog waking you up, does it bark all night long or it just hit the ld time? Some earplugs may work better than others. Also, be sure to clean yours and get a new pair every once in a while as to prevent ear infections.

it barks quite a lot but i think it just hit the ld time. ill have to do some searching for the right earplugs NyxCC. thank you.

I had a dream recently where I looked at a sign on a building and couldn't understand the sign... Any tips on remaining calm and staying in the dream? I could have become lucid then right? I have read that you can spin in the dream to stabilize... Maybe I'll try that next time. Oh yea, I've been practicing reality checks. Mainly looking at my hand and looking at my nose with one eye closed sometimes. Back to the lessons!

Close call! Have you been experiencing any excitement issues? If not, I'd advice just to continue as if nothing has happened (don't forget that you are dreaming though ). Just because you have become lucid doesn't imply there will be instability. Simply proceed with any tasks you had in mind. Often doing these tasks is an act of stabilization in itself.

I have been experiencing excitement issues. But this morning I had a pretty long dream where I was in a bar and this guy was smoking a cigarette. I got bad vibes from the place and walked out. The scene was really vivid...

did a wake back to bed unintentionally last night. woke up about 4 or so remembered a dream then stayed up a bit got tired then fell asleep. couldnt remember the second dream at first but after a short while remembered the second dream. wasnt really lucid in either though...

Lately been remembering my dreams off and on... And apparently I talk in my sleep sometimes so my gf says. Just wondering what that is about. I think its when I'm having nightmares...
