Hi, new to the forums :)

Well hello, just signed up, glad to be here... im a 17 (18 on the 30th) from canada.

been trying to get lucid dreams here and there, for about a year now, but have been too lazy to try the reality checks. probably why it isnt working, but now that its summer, I think that i am going to try them. i have tried using Bwgen, with numerous lucid dream presets, but none worked, except for this 1 time, where i kinda flashed into this hallway thing, it was red carpets there was a window, and there was lightning, then i came out, i dont know what it was.. perhapse a little ld?

i usually have much trouble actually getting to sleep... im probably going to go to that addoption thing... but yea... im going to go get food now... good to be here. Thanks

Glad to have you on board! Welcome!

You say you've tried BWGEN? Have you tried any of the meditation presets to help implant suggestions to become lucid?

Please feel free to ask anything you like or PM any of us any time

**Scwigglie** · 07-15-2004 05:23 PM

Welcome welcome!

I have trouble falling asleep too.. during the summer, anyway. Even if I can't keep my eyes open any longer and decide to go to bed, it still takes me at least an hour! Arr!

**moifay** · 07-15-2004 07:58 PM

hey, fast reply indeedo

i have tried a few of the other presets, do you have any recommendations? how would i implant suggestions? and i was wondering, if i need to have thoes special goggles? im thinking about asking for some for my bday

i was thinking of recording a wav of me saying "you are dreaming, you will realize you are dreaming" somthing like that, and then making that come on when im actually asleep so it would play over and over, but probably easier said than done

yea, i know what you mean Scwigglie, i have a very rough time getting comfortable enough to fall asleep-- especially when im using bwgen.

which reminds me-- when i do try bwgen lucid dream presets, i think eventually i DO fall asleep, but when i wake up, my headphones are half way accross the room....... hmmm :S

thanks for the welcomes

Give the built in ones for Meditation and the ones for self hypnosis a try. When you are deep into them, repeat to yourself:

When I am dreaming, I will know that I am dreaming.

**moifay** · 07-15-2004 09:19 PM

okey, now do i say this outloud, or just think it? i have always been curious about that, thanks for the help, ill try that

**Scwigglie** · 07-15-2004 09:29 PM

I believe you always just think these things. Maybe say it outloud the first time, just to get started.

**moifay** · 07-15-2004 09:36 PM

yea, thats what i have been doing.. woo

**moifay** · 07-16-2004 02:31 AM

so does anyone want to addopt me?

**Scwigglie** · 07-16-2004 02:51 AM

My 'parent' is officially ignoring me. *shakes fist* Left to die.. alone.. no one to feed me..

**moifay** · 07-16-2004 03:35 AM

hahaha, yeaa... i tried to use the hypnosis thing, to the when i m dreaming, stuff, and yea, we shall see, maybe it will work tonight-- i started a dream log today, got 1 dream so far, and i remember a part, where i went into another room, and blew on a spider (somthing i have a habit of doing when i go out side, so does that mean that could be a "dream sign" or am i just crazy

?

ummmm yea

I started a dream journal, but it was just wasn't me. Why write down my dreams when I can remember all my dreams from way back since I was five?

**Scwigglie** · 07-16-2004 03:41 AM

You blow on spiders!

Hey have you ever picked one up? That's the only reason I'm afraid of them. Cuz what if I touch one and it dies? Or it crawls somewhere and I accidentally step on it?

Jin, can you really? That's cool.. I used to just write down the best ones or the funniest ones or whatever. It'll be a cool read when I'm 90 and only have cats for company.

**moifay** · 07-16-2004 03:56 AM

i can usually remember some dreams, but i want to remember alot more, so im going to try this recall business... may as well, its summer.. and i have been having frequent dream activity lately. so yes..............

haha, yes i do blow on spiders, i juss moved, and this house is full of spiderwebs, the only thing i fear is that they will bite me while im sleeping, their huge wolf spiders, but yea, theres one i see when i go outside usually, and i just blow on it to see if its still alive... i dont know how these things eat....

i dont think ill ever pick up a spider... unless its one of thoes little ones, even then still probably not haha. i just like to annoy them

i remember dreams from my child hood, i wish i could go back into some of the dreams, one i had was of these 2 connected towers, and i was walking accross to the other tower, like miles of a hall way to the other side... the whole feel of the dream was kinda mystical, and neat... hahaha, but yes, i have done enough talking, but still need someone to addopt me 8)

**Jin** · 07-16-2004 04:01 AM

I'm gonna start a dream journal here, though. Who knows I might hit my head on something and lose this ability.

When I'm 90 I'm gonna have six foot rabid chimpanzees for company.

**Scwigglie** · 07-16-2004 04:01 AM

Have someone adopt you who won't abandon you!

Merhegruffnumhum!!!!

Anyway, I bet if you get good at LDing, you'll be able to recreate some of those childhood dreams. 8) I know I'd want to. I wish I kept a dream journal back then so I could remember more of 'em.

**moifay** · 07-16-2004 04:07 AM

hahaha, nice, chimps are funny

..... yea haha.

haha, the addopt thing, is for like, experienced lucid dreamers to teach noobs how to get ld's easier?

wish i could have logged them too, i remember some of them faintly... i think the one of the towers might have been lucid, cuz i remember it like a memory.... its strange, who knows, the goats tell me stories...

Were you abandoned?

**Scwigglie** · 07-16-2004 04:12 AM

Yeah that's basically how adoption works. Have you visited the 'adoptions' forum yet?

Were you abandoned? [/b]

Yah I think I was! I hope he doesn't read this thread though and get all mad.

**OpheliaBlue** · 07-16-2004 04:41 AM

Welcome to DV moifay!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, a fellow insomniac...I have the same problem. This forum may actually be able to help that, by adding some sleep routines like WILDs and such. About the reality checks, do keep trying them to see if they help ya. However, they didn't help me nearly as much as starting a dream journal. It actually bumped my LDs from a few a year to 1-2 a week! So you might want to consider that.

Anyway, just make yourself at home here, and feel free to PM me with any questions about LDs or the forum in general.

**moifay** · 07-16-2004 04:47 AM

Hey OpheliaBlue, thanks for the welcome. yea, i dont think the reality checks will work for me either, but im keeping a dream log for sure. thanks again

**Jin** · 07-16-2004 05:13 AM

Where'd you come from?

**Evanescent** · 07-16-2004 06:15 AM

Scwigglie, sorry i have been ignoring you. I have had other things on my mind and have been writing a rp/novel with Ffx-dreamz. I will be gone the next week so i will apoligize ahead of time. *sorry*I will miss you.
