Thread: Ironice''s Workbook [Intro Class]

So I just napped.. I could feel my body getting lighter and lighter like I was hovering and such. Then I suddenly ended up in my old house and my old room xD! That was kinda awesome.. It ended fast though, but it's awesome, and gave me more experience in WILD and Lucid dreaming in general I guess :p

Awesome, congrats!

I have a confession.. I sleep too little.. Some nights I only sleep 3-4 hours.. It's like before I go to bed I think of it as annoying and waste of time (Even though I would really like lucid dreaming at will).. Any good tips on how I can be better at going to bed, and really want to or somethin

Think about bedtime as a really important time for both your body and mind. We need to sleep so the body can produce different hormones that help repair pretty much everything, cleanses toxic substances, especially from the brain. Sleep also improves your memory. So, it helps you to be a healthier, happier and smarter person and even helps you look better (increased human growth hormone, collagen production, etc)! And then there is the added benefit that lucid dreamers capture of having additional time and place where they can do anything. Writing this makes me want to head to bed.

It's really important to go to bed at approximately the same time and to make it easier, try to also get up at a consistent time. It takes a while to get your schedule fixed, but then you will adjust to it. Just begin by setting some good bed and wake times and do your best to follow them. To facilitate sleep, especially at the beginning, you may do some casual meditation methods and actually find yourself asleep with greater ease (for me it's easier when I am not trying to do it). Hope this helps!

Oh, and happy birthday!!!

Wooo Ironice! Congrats! A belated welcome back and a happy birthday!

Thank you guys : )

Well it sure sounds important now.. Would it be okay to start with going to bed at 2 or 3 AM. and the get up at 11 AM to start with?

I dont think I can just start going to bed at 10-11 PM.

Sure! You can later adjust it according to your needs.

Currently
I go to sleep between 11PM - 2AM and I usually wake up between 8AM - 11AM.
I remember 2-3 dreams each night, (mostly 1 medium/long and 1-2 short).
I dont do reality checks other than some moments each day where I'll focus and become as aware as I can.
I read and analyse my dream journal when I'm about to sleep each night.


Plans
I want to remember 2 long/great detailed dreams and then I'll start doing 4 reality checks each day (Become fully aware ask myself "Am I dreaming?.. What did I just do the last 5 minutes?.. What am I about to do?" also I'll find some text or a watch to test reality).
I want to become more aware! It's like I'm sleepwalking through my days right now.
Each month I will have 1 week where reality checks are not allowed (experiment)

I finally had a real lucid dream again

I saw a family memeber I havent seen in years. My awareness got triggered, I asked if I was dreaming, and yes my fingers went trough the other hand. I hugged her, till she dissapeared. I jumped out through a window, and hit the ground. It was like I felt everything, the road, the sun, the air, everything. I went to my old school, which looked different. Suddently some man started following, and I ran away at first. But then I turned to him, walked towards him and then asked: "Who are you? What do you represent?" and he answered: "You worry too much, you need to relax more" while he had both his hands on my shoulders like a person trying to comfort me, and talk me up

Awesome, congrats! I liked the man's reaction.

Thanks! I liked it too : ) He seemed very friendly, after I talked to him. At first he seemed creepy and dangerous.
It's funny he said these things cause a friend of mine also talked about me thinking too much, and worrying over things I shouldnt worry about today

Also! I had a lucid dream again (date: 03-03-2015)

Spoiler for Dream:

I was at my old school, and one of my fellow students made me really uncomfortable, cause he was behind me and had both his hands on my head like he was about to break my neck OO ... It was like that made me more aware, 2 other of my fellow students started to yell or cheer like I was a king or something, and I was like "this is too much, I'm leaving" so I went out of the classroom and out to a big hallway or something, with big stairs and stuff. The 2 guys ran arround with milkbags and talked/cheered in unison (said the same thing at the same time). "Yes this is a dream" I thought to myself. Then I saw this girl, with green hair and tattoos, I found her very attractive, and I made her walk towards me, and then I woke up.

I got lucid but I forgot to stabilize the dream.

How interesting! Those situations where something happens in the dream and then irl are always so intriguing. And on this occasion, you received a really good advice too.

Congrats on having another one. Keep up the good work.

I think that too, it's amazing, I dont know how to explain it.. It's just amazing, cool, awesome : )
- It feels like I've started to think less about stupid things, and I feel more free : )

Thanks The only problem is just I havent been able to remember any dreams since, I had that last lucid dream.
I'll try to really focus on remembering my dreams, and set my intention to it, when I go to sleep

---
I just got diagnosed with autism , does anyone know if this has any influence on sertain induction techniques?
I was told that my working memory is not good because my autism, but isnt it something that can be trained/harnessed?

I have had lucid dreams, where I have been able to control things, and stabilized it so I'm not afraid that I wont be able to lucid dream.
But I just wondered if some induction techniques could be affected by this?

Hmm, well, I think you can still improve it through practice. The more you use it, the better it will get. So, just because they say you may have something like that, don't let it limit you. They told me I wasn't good at math when I was a kid and I went through school believing it, while the only thing I needed was more practice. This proved true in the end.

Edited: I did not like to look at what I wrote on this line.

Good, I wont take their word, and just give up on improving. It's good to know that someone else has proved them wrong : )

Added: I'm very motivated to improve and I feel like I am, I might have autism and that can give me and understanding of some things that I did not understand before.
I might not have autism, it doesnt matter. Life goes on no matter what you are

I completed my first TotM!


It has been a great month so far
For now I have had 3 journaled lucid dreams this month and I completed a TotM yesterday!
I completed: Advanced Task i - Teleport to a random place by pushing yourself through a mirror - describe the place you've ended in. (Snehk)
(L) Fun, Mystic and going to the mirror world (TotM)

I'm so happy that I completed a TotM, it sure gives me more confidence in my skills in lucid dreaming

Fantastic! Congrats!!!

Very cool effect with the flipped room by the way!

March Monthly Report.
I reported 16 days/nights this month.

23 dreams journaled.

My thoughts
I think It was a good month, even though my sleep pattern has not been good.
I aim for a better sleep pattern this month, and to have reported more.
I also aim for more journaled dreams (Better recall).

Oh, those stats are really cool!

Wish you luck this month to be able to work on more consitent bed times and get lots of lds!

Thanks NyxCC

I kinda hate that my bed time is bad, but I feel like it's hard for me to manage.
I think I had a lucid dream today, I just couldnt remember it..
So.. My recall is also bad, I think it's because of my bad sleep "pattern".
I will get it straight, I have to

I had a lucid dream today
I just didnt know what to do in it, so I flew around. First I started out like an airplane. Running in the middle of the street with my arms to the side and then I just took off

I had everyday expectation (dream control method) in mind so I choose to fly like an airplane wich worked very well
(L) Flying like an airplane and like superman, the old playground

Good catch, Ironice, congrats!

Must have been really awesome flying different styles and seeing so many cool things like forests and the castle. Also, love your impressions of the wind.

Thanks : ) I didnt come back to post anything cause I have been busy.

It is awesome to try different ways to do stuff in lucid dreams, I would try to swim to fly next time : )
Also I had a lucid dream again this night, not much detail : )

Spoiler for Dream:

I was in a class room and I was like a monster hunter or something.
I told the kids to go on with what they were doing. I saw a chair and slided under it.
Suddenly I were in another version of the classroom. Everyone was gone and I thought that it was weird and made a reality check, I was dreaming
As far as I remember I did not control the dream at will, but I met other hunters, and it was a little weird.. But hey! I was lucid

Cool, congrats! You're really on fire these days, keep up the good work!

Thanks! I know, it's awesome!

I'm back again! I got overwhelmed with lucid dreams so I stopped all my lucid dreaming activities..
I did not have the time to prepare for my next lucid activities so my lucid dreams became very empty.

I now think I have a good way into lucid dreaming, but sometimes I can be bad at planning my lucid dream plans.

Welcome back! I can totally relate to how you felt. This has happened to me a couple of times as well. Right now, I have a list of things I want to do, but every once in a while I have to keep coming up with new stuff to keep me going.
