Hello friends, |
|
I went to bed a little earlier last night to catch up on some much needed deep sleep. Hopefully I will now have more vivid and lucid dreams. |

I have a question for anyone who has become good at lucid dreaming. Do you practice for a while then BOOM a light goes off, your brain jumps on board, and lucid dreaming becomes a habit and then becomes easier? I've just been doing awareness practice, meditation, and WBTB with MILD for 6 days now and no luck. This is with already having a few lucid dreams in the past year. Should I continue this routine until it becomes stuck in my brain? Or change it up because it isn't working now? It's pretty interesting to do and I'm not really stressed about it. Just wondering. Thx. |

Welcome to Intro Class, TheLandsquid! |

Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
I just wrote this but accidentally deleted it so... yeah. Yesterday I tried to WILD in the afternoon but I lost focus at some point. Last night, I did a WBTB with WILD and lost focus there too. I ended up having 4 dreams I remember from last night. They all have my dream signs in them which is frustrating because I'm looking hard for them during the day. BTW, I chose to do WILD because I have accidentally done it before. I noticed the sensation of falling asleep and then boom I was put in a dream. That was my last lucid dream which was about a month ago. |

My dream signs showed up again. My dreams are also getting slightly more vivid, but no lucidity. It sucks because when I lay on my side I can't focus at all on a mantra, but when I lay on my back I won't fall asleep at all. I've tried to lay on my back to relax and then turn onto my side to fall asleep but it all seems to reset. I just can't focus long enough to do MILD and WILD... yet... Hopefully my meditation practice will help with this. Any thoughts? |

Maybe repeat the mantra while on your back and then after you think there have been enough repetitions, turn to the side ready to fall asleep. You can do this with mild as well. For wild, you need to be more alert so perhaps try it while lying on yout back. |

Ok thank you NyxCC |

I think I may have had a lucid dream last night but it's kind of confusing. I was a the door steps of a house that I knew had "evil" in it. I wasn't afraid and just walked in and observed the area. At that point, I remember thinking up my surroundings (Ex. red leather couch --- then it would appear) but at the same time I'm not sure if I knew it was a dream. In the dream, I notice this and then continue through the house. Whatever it was, I'm counting it as a success, because it was extremely vivid and I was calm even in the face of scary situations. I've just read The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep and have been using what I've learned in there to supplement what I've learned here. It is a lot more effort but also a little more interesting to me because of it's symbolic nature. |

Congratulations on the dream experience, LandSquid! Whether or not you were fully lucid, that sounds like a really cool dream with some very impressive dream control. If you weren't lucid, you were definitely heading in the right direction. |

Two nights ago, I stayed over at a friend's house and had a lucid dream. I woke up and quickly began to type it into my phone to then write down in my journal. It was as if the dream was happening and I was also thinking on the side of it, like watching a movie while daydreaming. Then once my thoughts relaxed, I quickly noticed the dream state and became lucid. I said "I am dreaming." out loud to try and consolidate my lucid position but I did lose it pretty quickly. I tried to have a dream that I had incubated about a week ago. I don't know why I thought about that at that moment, but it seemed like a cool idea. So I walked up to a random person and asked them to lead me to that dream. He said he already knows where I want to go and then pointed to a portal across the room. Somewhere in our conversation I lose my lucidity and instead have a dream about playing an arcade game. |

It's midnight here and I'm about to go to sleep. I'll update this post tomorrow with my good news of another lucid dream. |
|
I was a few days off with that last statement.... xD |
|
Not bad! Congrats! I agree about wbtb, it is one of the best lucidity boosters! |

Good to hear from you, TheLandSquid! |

That's a cool idea! It could definitely keep me more aware throughout the day, so I think I'll give it a shot. |
