Thread: Tlalocs Workbook

Cheers NyxCC - and I love the dancing cow - get down and boggey!

And guess what - I got lucid AGAIN this morning! WOW! Same tech - can't believe it. Woke up after 6 hrs (c 5.15am) set the IC for 24 mins repeat and did 1 audio RC. Then returned to sleep (almost getting caught out by wife who heard the click of the san disc mp3 player clip and demanded - 'whats that?!'). Anyway got to sleep and got after 3 RC's
Lucid #46
I have finished a dream about being on a pirate type ship and am walking back into my room, this is kind of a FA, I'm thinking - I'm goin to be too tired for work, I haven't been able to get back to sleep at all after my 515am waking - and then I suddenly realise I am dreaming and this IS a FA (the rooms different and I think I realise I couldn't be up and out of bed without remembering how I got there) - cool! :-). I start rubbing my hands together vigourously to get some tactile sensation (I forget to fall backwards), my hands appear to be wrapped in linen (like a mummy) and the friction is excellent I can really FEEL the sensation, RUB RUB RUB, much more than my normally sweaty hands would feel in Real life (!). I keep saying as well ' I will maintain lucidity, I will maintain lucidity' The more I rub and the more I talk the more stable the scene is, kind of like cranking one of those dynamo machines in a science museum where the more you turn the crank the brighter the light bulb burns. As soon as I slow though the dream starts to fade, so I start going faster RUB RUB RUB and it comes back, I try and steal a look around but I seem to have linen bandages over my head and around my eyes (like a real egyptian horror book mummy!). I want to see where I am so I risk not rubbing to try and brush this away, I get a glimpse of the same bedroom in white, but the dream degrades, I start rubbing again and it starts returning but not enough and I slip into half wakingness. I try and speak outloud but no voice comes out. And I awaken more fully. A few seconds later the vibe goes off (it would have been interesting to have felt it within a lucid dream as opposed to a NLD). I do the audio RC to confirm this isn't another FA, and then my son gets up in Real life - so the dream probably wouldn't have lasted any longer anyway.
I remove my kit and lie back down to sleep, and start to get really vivid scene of my wife and another lady coming into the bedroom and sitting down on the bed next to me (maybe like a DIELD starting up) but the alarm goes off.

Man though I am AMAZED how frequently I am getting lucid at the moment and really pleased that I managed to prolong this late morning dream for at least 2-3mins but rubbing vigourously, I see no reason why I couldn't go further and fully stabilise a dream like this again! It was cool to feel my dream body so intensely, and the link between the dream vividness upping and downing with the rub was kind of cool too! Its cool that all these dreams are coming from an increased awareness of the the oddness of the dream as well - proper DILD's - this makes me not reliant on perceiving the viberation in the dream at all, the technique rather is enhancing my awareness and intention to be aware which is kind of empowering and cool too!
On with the show!!!!
