Thread: Sakata Gintoki's Workbook

This morning I had a pretty long lucid dream, in my memory it feels like 15-20 minutes. Which is pretty good for me. But I didn't have the awareness of waking life. I kind of knew I could do more than normal. Next time I should remember to anchor the dream and increase my awareness. I think the way to do that is by slowing down, not getting excited and getting really observant. Looking around, thinking about what I could do, what I wanted to do, how to not waste the dream, feeling stuff, tasting stuff. Just examining the dream and not trying to enjoy it. I am going to meditate after this post and I'm going to try and put this idea of being observant in my head. I want to spend some serious time to learn to anchor my dream, I want to have a clear mind and be confident that my awareness won't fade away and that the dream will last at least 30 minutes in perceived time.

Once I have that foundation I can really start doing crazy stuff. Like transforming! Maaaan, is there anything better than a solid transformation? I am amazed that the brain is even capable of simulating such detailed and convincing transformations. I'm talking about growing limbs, fur, wings. I read about somebody becoming a robot, he could feel the oil gushing through his body. Normally I fly with my body shaped as a pencil, moving through the air. It feels like I have a very unpredictable engine and barely a way to steer, moving through antigravity, I never felt real gravity. Only once or twice did I feel wind but it is still so much weaker than what a bird feels. I want to feel gravity, wind, get lifted a little bit with each flap of my wings, falling if I don't, diving down, gliding by stretching my wings... Imagine shapeshifting into a hawk, soaring across the sky, diving down to catch a fish, feeling splatters of water as you struggle to go up into the air, barely staying above the surface of the water for a few seconds with a fish in your claws. I can only barely imagine this feeling, that's why I want it so badly. I bet it would feel extremely liberating to not be in this clumsy body, but in the body of a bird or cat. Moving elegantly and beautifully.. This will be my guide Transformation guide

Once I have that solid foundation I can try out so much awesome stuff. I would do all the monthly challenges on the day they come out, then the yearly challenges. When I'm done with those I will do the yearly challenges of all the previous years. I might make a request thread. Let people request things which I will then perform in a dream and tell them what it was like NyxCC, pray for me that my progress remains steady = D


Alright, time for meditation


PS: I'll probably also practice to get a strong DEILD skill, which I think would be very useful in prolonging total ld time
