Thread: Bemistaken's Workbook

Hello friends,

I’m so glad I have found this site…I feel like I am among friends. As you know, you just can’t hold a conversation with everyone about this type of topic. The world of dreaming is a fascinating world that I wish to try and understand. I have become lucid and have had OBE’s by accident, but I would like to have more control. I look forward to any advise which assist me in becoming enlightened…

Reality Checks

- Levitation is the RC I use the most because it is the most reliable for me
- hand check (finger count, melting, etc.)
- pinch nose
- thumb through palm

Dream Signs
- Water (for some reason, I always dream of large amounts of water. Huge waves coming at me, devastating floods, me in a boat or me swimming in an ocean…sometimes swimming as a fish. By the way…I can’t swim and I suffer from severe motion sickness)

Lucid/Dream Recall History
- I have very good dream recall. I have always been able to remember many of my dreams. I have kept a dream journal for some time now…only because I have always had strange experiences within my dreams, but didn’t know exactly what was happening until this year. For many years, I would OBE, but when I would tell my mother or grandmother, they would always tell me something scary and/or crazy (like it was the devil or a witch coming to see me at night). After awhile, I just stopped talking to them about it, but, the OBE’s never stopped. Just last year, I got tired of being afraid and decided to face this phenomena head on…that is when I realized what was happening. I would have never guessed what was happening to me was happening to several other people all around the world and this was a very occurrence. I continue to keep my dream journal in the hopes I can understand what my dreams may mean and how can I stabilize them.

Current Technique
- Try to meditate everyday
- Reality Checks
- Dream Journal
- From what I have been reading here, the technique is called MILD & WBTB
- Last night, I read about the technique regarding asking a dream character to assist you in reminding you to do a reality check, so I may try this in the future (don’t want to try to many techniques at one time).

* Update
I have been most successful using the WILD method. For some reason this is the only method (besides DEILD) that works for me.

My sleep times:

My sleep pattern sucks…I have terrible insomnia and I am awake at all times of the early morning hours. I must work really hard at going to bed before 1:00am. Then, if I wake up in the middle of the night (and it’s a sure thing that I will) and stay up too long, I will have trouble falling back to sleep. The strange thing about this is when the sun comes up, my body shuts down and I’m unconscious…I normally don’t dream until it is time for me to get up for work.

Work days
Bedtime: 1:00am to 6:30a

Weekend
Bedtime: 1:00am-2:00am to 9:00am

I have the intent on me being lucid by practicing and practicing. I have waited this long...time to move forward because I won't turn back!
