Hihi! I am alex and i am taking a psychology course in highschool. These next two weeks we are focusing on the states of consciousness and we are suppose to be keeping a dream journal. I have recorded one nights worth of dreams (last nights) and am going to get better results tonight. I didnt really record any dreams but rather just images that came to mind. One of these images that i saw was just so apparant to me that the subconscious mind is separate from the real mind.
I had a vision that i was in my grandmothers law office in the receptionist's room. A little fat girl with pigtails and an angry look sat on one of the leather chairs eating an ice cream cone.
The end.
How am i going to interpret this? Today is my mother birthday. Let me explain. My grandmother flew out of state this week and is in Mexico. My mom has been so angry about these types of things like how she is flying out for christmas ect ect. I interpret this as my mom being the little fat girl who gets what she wants but doesnt like how she got it. She gets the presents and the i love yous but the thing she needs most isnt really there.
Sound like a good interpretation? i hope so, it is my first :).
Anyways. I am here to learn about lucid dreaming. Since the first day about the states of consciousness i have been reading up on lucid dreaming and have been facinated. I have a few questions that i have not found
1. When you wake up from a lucid dream do you start to remember it or do you just say WOW THAT WAS AN AWESOME LUCID
2. Do you need to record your lucid dreams like other normal dreams to remember them?
3. Is what you do in your lucid dream really what YOU want to do?
Thank you and am going to have a lucid dream this month.
You may be saying why is he saying i AM going to do this stuff and not i WANT to. My psychology teacher said to be demanding to your subconsciousness to tell it that want to have something and you will. Simply wanting it isnt enough. This is partly why i think i didnt get great results from last night. I was sort of shy in saying out loud I AM GOING TO WAKE UP AFTER MY DREAMS AND REMEMBER IT and i only remembered them right after i woke up at 6:30 this morning. Tonight i will wake up at least twice to record my dreams. i should be going through at least 3 rem cycles and approximately 4. I will have a lucid dream. This is my new hobby i can devote 8 hours a day to every day for the rest of my life.
