Thread: FriendlyFace's workbook

Thanks paigeyemps! I became lucid twice last night. The first time I was on an athletic field at my old school. The field was covered in dandelions. I was doing flips and stuff and at one point I thought to myself "I wonder if I could do this in real life?" which made me realize that I was dreaming. I jumped up and started flying around, one fist outstretched like superman. At one point I lost focus and woke up, but I was able to dive right back in. I realized that I was losing focus when I got to parts of the campus that I didn't remember properly, or tried to leave the campus. It was pretty cool to observe the process actually, everything would go all black and white or fuzzy and I'd be like AH gotta concentrate! I was sitting on a roof trying to think of someplace else I could fly to that I remember, but thinking about other places made me lose focus completely and the dream ended.

The second time I was driving in a car somewhere with my dad, and I think I just remembered that I had had a lucid dream earlier and figured out that I was probably dreaming again. I tried to blow up the houses along the road as we went by (yeah I'm a douche I know) but I couldn't make it happen. I lost lucidity when we got to where we were going. I actually told a friend there that "I had two lucid dreams last night" but that didn't trigger anything.

The dandelion field dream was probably one of the most lucid dreams I've ever had. Like where I was closest to my waking mind-state. That's probably why I had to concentrate so much. Last night I didn't take my supplements before bed (magnesium, vitamin B, and I think it was a melatonin night) and I drank a little less a liter of gin. It's kind of annoying because the lucid dreams I've been having recently have all been on nights when I've been drinking, and I'm really trying to stop drinking. I'm going to try three days on one day off with the supplements, to see if maybe they put me in a deeper sleep and then when I don't take them I sleep more lightly and am closer to consciousness or something. I also had three very long and memorable dreams that as far as I can tell had nothing to do with the lucid ones.
