Greetings again! :)
For personal reasons, I could not write anything new here.
During these days I have limited my dream to remember some of them and I could not do more activity. :(
Unfortunately, I do not know if I can resume my practice these days, when I get back to have some more time I promise to be here again! :)
Hi SenrPF! No worries about that! Hope you are doing well! See you soon! :)
Hello again! :)
For personal reasons I have been away some time from DV... Now, although I do not have much free time, I write again here to share my experiences.
All comments and suggestions are welcome!
Greetings to all! :happy:
Here I go! ;-)
Last night I started to focus on my breath for some time when I felt that I was quiet, began to focus on the back of my head and I repeated to myself, "I remember my dreams". Then I began to see some hypnagogic imagery, after that I felt asleep. About half an hour later, I woke up with a dream / nightmare (see my DJ) in which I was moving around my house (OBE?) and at the end I could not move (SP?). I was scared inside the dream and I think that made me wake up...
SenrPF, nice to see you! :)
Sorry to hear about the nightmare. Did you know that it was dream when it happened?
Greetings again, NyxCC! I'm glad to see you again too! :)Quote:

It could be that you have indeed incubated some sort of a FA/OBE type of a dream. Next time, try to remember this, if you find yourself in a similar situation that it is a dream. Have a strong resolve that you will not be afraid and will realize this is dream and repeat this. I made a mantra like this, repeating it every once in a while and over a couple of months my nightmares decreased and I've managed to catch some of them and turn them into lds. :)
During this weekend there has not been great news, but all the dreams that I remembered I was flying or it had "creatures" flying... :flyaway: :o
Tonight I managed to concentrate better at bedtime.
It has come back a dream in which I moved around my house (OBE?), appeared strange people inside and even though I was, again, a little scared, this time I could control something better. Everything was dark and could only see the light of the screen of my iPad (which is the device that I use as DJ), tried to turn on a light, but did not work... :disconcerted: :)
I'm getting better, fear has diminished. I must try to concentrate on that when I'm in that situation I realize I'm in a dream... :cooler:
Tonight I'm back to concentrate well in my breath, I've relaxed well, I recited for a couple of minutes my mantra and then I directed my focus towards the back of my head. :goodjob2:
About an hour after I woke up with this dream!!! :shock:
Although I've tried this technique at other times of the night, I did not get results. :angry: :) Still not quite understand why it works in the first phase of sleep and not at the last. :uhm: I think if I get it to work in those last hours of sleep the results would be better, because being the first REM very short in time*is what causes me to wake up quickly and can not build my dream "lucid"... ;-)
I will continue analyzing, testing ... to see what happens! :okbyenow:
Congrats on the ld, SenrPF! Your tech is working! :)
If you repeat this during your natural wakes, you will get similar results sooner or later. :goodjob2:
Two nights ago I went to bed later than usual and I was grumpy when I went to bed, so nothing special happened... :(
Last night I got to concentrate better (but there were a few times when my mind wandered), nevertheless I had a very long dream (?) during the first REM period and I had several times when I was flying (no control) and at last I was in a situation where I could not move or breathe and woke up... :whyme:
I'm still working... :)
At least you didn't have any nightmares, which happens when I go to bed grumpy. :PQuote:

Hello!
I'm here again! ;-)
At the moment I'm going to start writing in my dream journal... :)
I have also signed up to Spellbee2's competition: http://www.dreamviews.com/lucid-chal...6-signups.html
Regards!
Tonight when I was falling asleep I have felt a very strong vibrations that crossed my trunk and rose to the head. :shock:
I was very tired and I could just wake up to jot down a few lines about the dreams... :|
I hope that tomorrow will better! :)
In one of the dreams tonight, I, again, have the feeling of being overwhelmed that often end up becoming nightmare... I should try to convert those moments into lucidity! :hrm:
Also returns to appear water/sea and my refusal to introduce in the water, I think if I got overcome fear at that time and I introduced at sea, I could use that time to realize I'm in a dream! :doh:
Tonight I had another nightmare, this time have been vampires who are the characters that scared me more in my dreams.
Around 4 am I woke up and went to the bathroom. I stayed awake for about 10 minutes back to sleep, concentrating on my breathing and telling myself that if I ever dream about vampires would realize that I was in a dream. I returned to the nightmare, but I could not realize I was dreaming ... :(
To continue working! :)
During these days I'm having trouble remembering my dreams, especially the next day seems like if I do not remember anything ... :(
Tonight I have done WBTB and when I returned to bed and started to breathe deeply, I felt a strong vibration, but only in the head. :huh2:
Dream recall is very variable (for me anyway), don't let it get you down just keep goign at it and do your best. Easy to get put off when you can't remember much but it tends to come back when you least expect it.
Thanks for the comment Smudgefish! :thanks:
I'm still in the fight! :superman: :)
Performing multple WBTBs help recall your dreams more!Quote:

Hello again NyxCC! :)
I'm glad you're here! I hope we can talk about something in the coming days... :cooler:
Greetings.
Tonight my dream recall has increased considerably, I guess because of the extra motivation for participating in the competition! :)
I will try to use this to improve and increase the possibility of being lucid in a dream ... ;-)
I've also done WBTB, but without success. :(
Well, today I have had a sleepless night. :(
It happens rarely, but... Anyway, tonight was pretty bad! :cantsleep:
I do not give much importance to it, but my dream recall is lower and, practically, I do nothing except tossing and turning in bed...
:thumbdown:
Tomorrow will be better, :thumbup: though perhaps sleep overcomes me and be a night without memories... I hope not! :)
