Hey PostScript, welcome! I like your workbook. Your lucid history is pretty incredible! I'd love it if you had some words of wisdom for the rest of the class Anyway, quick question: if the finger through the palm doesn't work, then how come you listed it as a reality check? I'm just curious because I used that trick 2 times and it worked, then didn't. Which is weird because flying works better for me now, even though both are impossible in waking life. Well, not 100% impossible but you know what I mean. Anyway, nice to see you hear, can't wait to read about all your lucid endeavors!

Hey PostScript, welcome! I like your workbook. Your lucid history is pretty incredible! I'd love it if you had some words of wisdom for the rest of the class Anyway, quick question: if the finger through the palm doesn't work, then how come you listed it as a reality check? I'm just curious because I used that trick 2 times and it worked, then didn't. Which is weird because flying works better for me now, even though both are impossible in waking life. Well, not 100% impossible but you know what I mean. Anyway, nice to see you hear, can't wait to read about all your lucid endeavors! Although my record does look quite imposing, some of them are simply quite fragmented since I didn't use any stabilization techniques at the time. My two MILDs were last week, and I'm happy for those., but the two WILDs were complete accidents, the DEILD was difficult, and shorter than the previous lucid, and as it turned out I had used SSILD a lot years ago, before I knew what it was, and so I went to bed determined to have at least one and I got my wish. And as for the finger through the palm check, I have tried several times to put my hand through anything, anything at all, and I have never done so, so I still use this RC just to see if I can accomplish one of my lucid goals. Words of wisdom...hmm.. OK, the best advice I can give to new oneironauts is this: lucid dreaming is really a personal thing. It's not all about all those people teaching you, it's about you.There are always some basics that most people can follow, but feel free experiment with different methods. Take me, for instance. I didn't buy into the 'no electronics' crap that I heard on here once, and every night I play on my GBA until 10:45 before falling asleep. ( I found the 3DS too disorienting.) Anyway, let's get started with LESSON I!

[PostScript99]

Your Homework For Lesson I is to: Start your own workbook thread in this subforum (here) Start a Dream Journal and record each dream. Record the times that you naturally go to bed and wake-up, and list it in your workbook. Do reality checks whenever you experience something weird throughout the day, and list it in your workbook. Write a list for why you want to lucid dream (for motivation), and plan out what you want to do in your next lucid dream. Establish a night-time routine (Include reading your dream journal, making sure to leave your DJ open to a blank page for quicker dictations). #1 Did that. Check #2 Been doing that. Check. #3 10:45 and 7:00. Check. #4 Yesterday I checked out one of the potted orchids that I got when I went to the botanical gardens in Oklahoma, and it read: Gilded Urchin 'Oneiro' Wait, WHAT? *rubs eyes, does RC* Ohh, it said Ontario, not Oneiro, guess it's not a dream after all. Will continue to do this. Not checked. #5 Really, my parents are just like seriously overprotective, so I can't really go anywhere... "Why can't I cross the street, Mom?" "You might get hit by a car." So in LDs, I can go anywhere I want, alone, and everything is new, I'm not staring at the same surroundings all day long, like in school. I can take pleasure in screaming my lungs out while flying or standing in the middle of the road and jump and land on the car right before it hits me. Ahhh bliss. Ok, so next lucid, I want to walk into a really high-tech room that is the 'Dream Control Panel', meet my subconscious sitting there, telling her that she can go play now, and messing around with every single aspect of the dream. Sounds like fun. I'm just not going to touch the REM Atonia On-Off switch. #6 All right then, I'll try...but my DJ always always always opens up to a blank page.

Other things that made me RC: Texture's massive epic face avatar I actually got a PM It's 33 degrees outside in the middle of March

Just last night I decided put lucid dreaming on hold and get my sleep schedule back on track, and I end up getting a nice long DILD and another one using WBTB. Nice! A question about Apple juice: does it have to be 100% and not from concentrate? Because I've have some that's like that and it's expensive and it's nasty.

[paigeyemps]

Hey welcome to the class! And congraaats on the lucid, they really do surprise you huh? Also about the apple juice, it's fine. Mine's not concentrated, i even add some water but it all works fine

[PostScript99]

Before moving on to LESSON II, let's see what goals I completed: 1. See a cartoon/video game characternamine.JPG Check. 2. Use WBTB. Check. 3. Try the mirror experiment. Check. All right then, time for Lesson 2!!!

[PostScript99]

Your Homework For Lesson II is: Study up on all of the induction techniques listed here and find one that suits you. Practice your chosen induction technique for at least 2 weeks (although longer is preferred) before changing it to something else or ruling out that it's not working. Continue to post all of your experiences, even failed ones, into your workbook. Optional: Discuss your chosen technique with the teachers by posting in your workbook. There are lots of ways to go about each technique, we will be able help you find a method that suits you! Choose a second (and possibly third) induction technique that compliments your first. For example, if you chose DILD you will also be able to perform WILD. If possible, it is highly advised to include WBTB into your routine. Very well, for the next two weeks I will try MILD combined with ADA, since ADA works with everything. However, if I just get a bunch of DILDs I'll be happy with that too.

[PostScript99]

Nabbed another long DILD last night, but I can't remember most of it. I need to get my recall up to scratch.

[paigeyemps]

Nabbed another long DILD last night, but I can't remember most of it. I need to get my recall up to scratch. Congrats! But sad face for not recalling Have you ever tried doing recall mantras WHILE lucid? Like tell yourself 'i will remember this' or something

[PostScript99]

Congrats! But sad face for not recalling Have you ever tried doing recall mantras WHILE lucid? Like tell yourself 'i will remember this' or something That's a good idea, i should try it.

[PostScript99]

A couple of fragments the first night, but nothing on the second. I got an LDD though, I think, so I should be happy.

Come on!

[PostScript99]

It's high time I posted in here again. Well, I got a MILD, (yay!) but otherwise it was a pretty quiet week. Oh well.

[OpheliaBlue]

Well congrats on the MILD! What's a LDD by the way? Just a typo, or something new I don't know about yet?

[PostScript99]

It stands for Lucid Daydream.

[PostScript99]

I got my first intentional WILD and my third-longest DILD on record. I see Pennyroyal is improving very quickly so it's about time I did too.

[PostScript99]

4 DILDs!!! Woohoo! BrandonBoss was right, micro WBTBs are awesome.

[PostScript99]

I've noticed that the line between lucidity and non-lucidity is becoming more blurred, the more I LD. Now, it's not a big aha moment anymore. It's oh, I'm lucid, or not even knowing when I became lucid. Is this normal?

[CanisLucidus]

I got my first intentional WILD and my third-longest DILD on record. I see Pennyroyal is improving very quickly so it's about time I did too. 4 DILDs!!! Woohoo! Congratulations on all of these LDs and your first on-purpose WILD!! It sounds like things are going great for you right now! BrandonBoss was right, micro WBTBs are awesome. Could you give me an idea of how micro WBTBs work? Is this similar to DutchRaptor's DEILD technique where he sets lots of alarms throughout the night in order to achieve a whole bunch of LDs? Whatever it is, if it's netting your 4 DILDs in one night, it sounds awesome! I've noticed that the line between lucidity and non-lucidity is becoming more blurred, the more I LD. Now, it's not a big aha moment anymore. It's oh, I'm lucid, or not even knowing when I became lucid. Is this normal? Very interesting. I can't say that this really happened to me, but it doesn't strike me as terribly abnormal. Perhaps the idea of realizing you're dreaming doesn't carry the same punch of novelty as it did before and you don't get that big bolt of excitement? I still get pretty excited and joyful when I become lucid and I have to consciously keep my emotions on an even keel or I end up with a micro-lucid.

[PennyRoyal]

It's oh, I'm lucid, or not even knowing when I became lucid. Is this normal? I'm noticing this shift myself. The first few weeks I was becoming lucid something would jolt me suddenly into lucidity. Recently most of the lucids I have, I just seem to know that I'm in a dream and all I have to do is confirm before I try to jump off a skyscraper or something 4 DILDS in one night, thats awesome man. Super jealous.

Oh, and micro WBTBs are pretty much like that, except I didn't use an alarm clock.

[PostScript99]

Got another WILD, but it was an FA and...I opened my eyes IRL because I thought it was real, so I woke up. Less than a second of lucidity, I'm not adding to my LD count. But still, I WAS SO FREAKIN CLOSE!!!!!!! I'm trying again tonight.
