Thread: Ironice''s Workbook [Intro Class]

Report since last time.
My sleep is bad.. Some days I sleep almost all day.. Right now I havent slept for 2 days.. or only like 3-4 hours the last 2 days.
I have had some vivid dreams and some nightmares that have been very hard on me..
Right now I'm taking a break from trying to sleep, and after some time I will try again.

Long time no see
I kinda want to start all over again but I don't know if that's a good idea
Since last time I've had some okay cool dreams
I remember one were it was very dark and I wanted light so I could see more, and suddenly there were light and colors everywhere and in all kinds of shapes some formed a dragon This morning I had a dream were I was stranded on an island and crates arrived from the sky falling down in transparent ruby light parachutes (hard to describe)..

I've had more and more dreams that have inspired me to practice lucid dreaming again, I'm just not sure how I'll journal my dreams.. I can't find a way that suits me in the long run. I'll try to look for ideas myself, but if anyone has some good ideas I would appreciate it

Welcome back! It's always a good idea to start with the practices again - dreams are just too amazing for us to ignore them.

About journalling - have you considered using an audio journal or maybe just quick tagging of key events, people, places?

Thanks! I'm excited to start practicing again, I feel like my dreams wants me to practice again, which might sound weird

Quick tagging? Without writing dreams as a story?

If you don't have the time, you can alternate between quickly tagging key dream elements and full journalling for dreams you find more important. You can also mental journal - tell the dreams to yourself in addition to the quick tagging or full journalling.

So it's really not that important to write all of them down, just as much as you can and as you feel like?

I think it's ok to allow for some flexibility. It's better to have an overall idea of what your dreams are about, be able to recognize DS and train your recall. However, it shouldn't become a burdensome chore. Try to find a balance - practice, but make it enjoyable.

I guess you are right. I think I've been annoyed with lucid dreaming because I've taken dream journaling too serious, and wanted it to be perfect.

I had a short lucid dream. I drove a car and couldnt see out. I stopped the car got out and walked and thought it all were weird. I made a dream stabilizing hand rubbing and it worked and then I made a rc and got it confirmed that I was dreaming, but then I woke up I think Short LD but it's a sign of progress I think

Absolutely! Congrats on the ld!

Thanks NyxCC I had a little more today, I forgot to journal my dreams today, but I will check if I can recall when I go to bed, I sometimes can

Finally had a lucid dream again, I hope it will not be long before I get one more

Nice! Congrats!

Thanks! I also had a lucid dream the other day because of some weird monkeys xD

I've been struggling with motivation but now I feel like I am more motivated

My current goal is to go to a lake (or summon), freeze it and skate on it.

Sounds like a great goal and goes nicely with your name! Btw, I really enjoy the feeling of cold and ice in dreams. Looking forward to reading about your experience.

Haha I didnt think about that How is that?

report since last time:
I've been recalling 5 dreams in total since my last post, and I've already started to see a pattern in my dreams that should be able to trigger lucidity
1) My childhood home
2) My ex-girlfriend. Kinda annoying to dream about since she is a person I just want to forget about.
3) A playground I used to play at a lot

Cool! So you can put mantras to a good use, repeating that the next time you find yourself in your childhood home you will become lucid.

When I go to sleep? or also once in a while during the day?

(To get more into this post)
Since last time:
I've not had an easy time recalling it's mostly just been fragments. As far as I remember there has not been anything recurrent, I've been a marksman at a trainstation, killed a zombie, and been in a weird house with a weird staircase
I've been thinking about meditation, but I've not really felt like it. + When I meditate I think I'm doing it wrong

You can do both .

I've been thinking about meditation, but I've not really felt like it. + When I meditate I think I'm doing it wrong

How do you usually do it?

Okay I will try to do both

I usually meditate by lying in bed, closed eyes, sometimes with some soothing music, counting my breath like inhale 1, exhale and, inhale 2, exhale and, inhale 3, exhale and, inhale 4.

Report: I've had 1 lucid dream since the last time I updated here. I've not had an easy time recalling my dreams, only the vivid ones.

Congrats on the ld! How has your sleep schedule been?

Thanks! Mhm it has been a little bumpy

Congrats on all your recent LD successes!
