Jayarftw's Workbook

About Me
Lucid dreaming is something I've been experiencing without trying, throughout my life, but never ever thought about learning more about. Whenever I have the opportunity to sleep in, such as weekends, I always do. Usually I will go to bed around 1 or 2 AM, and generally wake up around 10 or 11 AM, and fall back asleep sometimes into a short lucid dream. This doesn't happen all the time, but recently over my Christmas and Exam Break I've been woken up by my parents in enjoyable/fun dreams (basketball games where I can dunk, street racing), and tried to force myself to fall asleep back into that dream, and successfully have. The only issue with this is that usually the dreams don't leave off from where I was at, are unstable, and l lose control and just fall back asleep, later on waking up to not remembering much about what happened. I hope I can train myself to be able to have stability, and control, because those are my two main issues at the moment.

Also, the other night I attempted WILD, and I'm pretty sure I was in SP but I got too excited and panicked when I felt like something was behind my bed on the wall, so I woke up.


Reality Checks:
- Blowing through plugged nose
- Fingers through palms
- Counting fingers

Dream Signs:
- Driving a car
- Jumping irregularly high
- My moms presence

Short-Term Goals:

- Have a conversation with someone from real life in a dream
- Improve stabilization.

Long-Term Goals:
- Dream Stabilization & Control
- Lucid Dream x5/week

Lucid/Dream Recall History:
- I've been logging my dreams since the 31st of January on my phone. I'll usually remember two or three different dreams per night with good detail. Some nights when I try to WILD I cant remember any.

Current Technique:
- WBTB (Seems to be my best, but inconvenient because of school)
- WILD (I've been trying this often without success)

Welcome to the class, Jayarftw :muffin:

You mentioned having trouble with stability and conrol. When you get lucid, what do you usually do initially?

See you around

Hi paigeyemps :)

My last lucid was about 2 weeks ago. I had woken up and I went back to bed focusing on where my dream was left of. After some time it all started happening again and I reappeared in the jewelery store that I was in before I woke up, but there was 0 DCs this time, and once I moved , I tried to focus on staying in the dream but everything started fading black and I soon realised I had woken up with my eyes closed.

Ahh, I see you mentioned that your current techniques are WBTB and WILD. Have you ever tried DEILD? If that waking up thing with the eyes closed happens a lot, it sounds like a perfect opportunity for DEILD: http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...me-ld-god.html

Don't worry about the part where you started waking up and things faded, though. Sometimes, it is inevitable to wake up because when we end our sleep cycle, we naturally wake up. That's where DEILD comes in! :D but you dont have to do it though, if you wish to focus on other techniques for now. Just an idea. Good luck!
