hi, i thought id introduce myself. my name is matthew collins and im 16 years old. i live in north wales. ive been intereested in lucid dreaming for a few weeks now and have just starting practicising inducing techniques. i am also working on my dream recall. if any one has any tips id love to hear. also the other night i had a false awakening in which i actually recorded the dream i had just had in my dream journal. after awakening for real in the morning i was able to recall four drea,s down to the exact details. is there anyway to induce false awakenings? since i would like to find out if this is what caused my dream recall to rapidly change from snippits of a dream to four whole dreams. thankyou |

Hey saka welcome to DV |

thankyou ok fair enuf, im pretty new to this whole thing hehe, ive been trying many other techniques like remining yourself that your going to remember, and staying still once you awake, and it has helped dramtically, i can recall up to two dream everynight, and i started on sunday. ill keep doing the techniques that im doing and hopefully improve recall even more, |
|
you could also tell yourself that you will wake up when your dreams end, that way you have better recall. if you wake up in the middle of the night it helps to try and remember while you are awake |
|
thankyou for the tips , i seem to ave 1-2 long dreams everynight, then the rest are very short, i have no trouble remembering the short ones, the long ones seem to come to me as im writing about the shorter ones |

Hello saka52, and welcome to Dreamviews! |

thanks for the tips, its nice to know that we share similiar experineces with dream recall and false awakenings , a little off topic earlier this morning i had the weirdest experience.And if I’m being honest I don’t know if it was actually a dream. I was half asleep half awake at about half past 7 - 8 o’clock. I started to vibrate quite violently, to the point where me teeth actually began to hurt, and a loud noise was present in my ear ( similar to a very large gust of wind blowing into your ear) my body actually felt like it began to shift out of its self. I remember trying to move my hands but had great trouble doing so. At one point the vibrations ceased, but then started up again and I once again felt my body shifting. Now this is the part where things get quite strange. I do not know if this was an astral projection, or whether after the vibrating experience I fell asleep and DREAMT that this happened. I lifted my hand and it was barley visible it was transparent. I got out of my bed and went downstairs and I seen my mum in the kitchen. I tried to get her attention but it wasn’t working, I remember thinking about flying, and I tried jumping up and down trying to induce flight. But it wasn’t working, I then decided to go outside. I remember thinking to myself if I’m astrally projecting I shouldn’t feel pain, so I ran at my gate and flipped over it landing on my back, and like I predicted I never felt any pain. After this I remember looking for the moon in the sky, and I wanted to travel there. When I could not see it I commanded myself to be taken to the moon. Nothing happened. It was at this point that I seen my car about fifty meters away from my house on a patch of grass. I didn’t think at all that this was strange. After this I entered back into my garden and my car had now moved and was placed in my garden. It was at this point I woke up. Now this experience has happened to me once before, but it wasn’t accompanied by a dream like experience. However the vibrating and separating feeling did. I did some research and these are two common factors in the pre-separation of the soul from the body (astral projection) I believe that for the second time in my life I almost had an out of body experience. i dont know if any of you are intersted in stuff like this, but as a sixteen year old this was extremley frightening when it first happend ( about a week ago) as i didnt know what was going on. i belive i experienced two things. a near out of body experience that lead to me dreaming about one as i fell back asleep. so what do you guys think. |
