Thread: Woohoo!

Thanks LWA.
..and thank you Naiya for the very very helpful thread and all the advice!
I will keep you all posted on how the dream control is going, and maybe someday I will kick the "shy" habit and start a dream journal for all to see
..also, any advice is still very much welcomed and appreciated!! Sweet dreams you guys!!! ))

you had a prophetic dream? care to elaborate in further detail?

Btw, KEEP A DREAM JOURNAL. doesn't matter if anyone reads it. no one's seen mine. i copy/paste/edit some entries and show to people, but no one needs to see your whole DJ but you. You'd be AMAZED at how much your dream recall goes up, and, how simply re-reading your old dreams from wayyyy long ago will refresh your memories of dreamland. sooo helpful

Yeah, I want to hear about the prophetic dream also!

Part of my dream practice is to look for coincidences between waking life and dreams. Small coincidences that give me the feeling of 'the color of that leaf, or that person walking through that door reminds me of the dream I had last night". I get into that coincidence feeling and pretend I'm jumping into the dream while I'm walking around during my day. I'll do reality checks also and pretend I'm dreaming, which gets me into a good lucid wakefulness dreamy zone (know what I mean?)

But after a few weeks of that, the coincidences started getting more obvious. I would dream of a pyramid of fire and I would see one in a pottery kiln the next day. I would dream of a snake and I'd see one the next day. One thing I'd do is if I dreamt that I walked down the sidewalk in a neighborhood of my town, the next day I would go walk down that street, which would artificially make that dream a 'precognitive' dream. And I would look at random people in town as if they were just dream characters and I'd try to pay attention to all the little details to get me lucid. But it gets out of control. I'm a little out of practice right now being distracted with waking life drama and my wife's demands on my attention lately, but at the height of my practice (a few years ago before I met my wife) I had the most vivid non-lucid dream where I went down to the coffeeshop downtown and sat on a bench in the parking lot and the most beautiful girl walked up to me and we were in love! I woke up all lovey feeling. So in waking life after I woke up I immediately went down to that coffeeshop and sat on that bench. I sat there for a while and I was about to give up and leave when a car pulls up and that girl gets out! I had never seen her before. And she came over to me and introduced herself. She probably thought I was a fool because I could barely talk I was so shocked. I wanted to tell her I had a dream last night that her and I were in love, but I couldn't tell her that, you know? She would think I was either a creep or crazy, or both! Ahhh, she was beautiful.. a sexy smiley blond girl from Slovenia.
Anyway, I was too shocked to really talk meaningfully with her and she left. I talked to her a few times since then and even flirted but the timing was never right again and now she has some kids and a husband and I have a wife.

But anyway, practice the dreaming/waking coincidence stalking and see if it works for you! I should get back into it myself. I am inspired. If only my wife would let me sleep in and would stop snoring and jumping around in bed while she sleeps.

good for you, you seem to be a quick learner. It took me a while, but I have atleast 1 a week now, and that seems to only be increasing.

lol!! You guys make it sound like so much more than it was with all this "prophetic" talk. It was merely a teeny tiny premonition, and you will all think it's silly once I explain it, but it excited me very much. Anyhow I'll have to go a little further into detail than I'd like to explain it. (and I say further than I would like because it will be all this building up to something so small and insignificant.) I just hope it doesn't disappoint you :p lol
Ok, so my husband had to work out of town a few days this week due to lack of local work, and he was going to have to wake up at 4:30am Monday to go drive across town to his boss's house to catch a ride, simply because his vehicle isn't reliable enough for a long trip. Anyhow, 4:30 rolls around, and all 4 of our alarms went off, then a wake up call from his mom who works early, so he layed awake in bed waiting for his boss to text message him with the plans for the morning, but I went back to sleep. So later I hear his text tone while I am sleeping, and I swear, it seemed so real that he told me the message said that the guy was going to come pick him up at our house. So I slept peacefully until our daughter woke up for school, because I knew he didn't have to drive across town all early. So we both got up and were in the kitchen making breakfast, and I said something along the lines of "how cool that Brian is coming to pick you up this morning" And he was like "what are you talking about? He didn't say that" And then he shoewd me the list of messages in his phone, and he was right. No message said that. Then, a few minutes later, Brian texted him and said "ok I am leaving my house and coming to pick you up" See...told you it was not so big. lol Glad to share it though

"But anyway, practice the dreaming/waking coincidence stalking and see if it works for you!"

LMAO@stalking?! hahaha wonderful way to put it!!! I will give it a try for sure!!!

..and thanks to all my other congratualtors and enviers for posting too. It really helps to know other people care about this too, makes it much more fun!

I layed in the bed last night angry at this site, because I read some very discouraging posts that someone had put on another "newbies" thread... and I had no recallable dreams (because of that anger, I assume) Anyhow, I encourage anyone who gets angry at new people for not posting with proper grammar/punctuation/capitalization to just point out to them in a nice way that it's all in the rules and regulations, don't make them feel an inch tall, it may discourage them from ever coming back. And then where would they learn...unless ya don't care.

Ha, thats all I had to say about that

That is a real premonition! Keep working on it!

@ Dannon: that`s what I was afraid of *bites nails nervously* that freaks me out a lil bit. lol

Oh, don't worry. It will guide you. A friend of mine took his car into the shop. Apparently the mechanic forgot to fill his break lines with fresh break fluid. My friend picked up his car and was driving home through the mountains when his care made a funny noise. The noise made him remember his dream the night before where he didn't have any brakes in the dream. He tried to stop but it was hard. But he did. If he didn't have that dream or remember it he may have wrecked his car or died.

A little omniscience is a good thing. You won't know everything! And you won't know what you don't want to know, either. Just let it guide you and enjoy. It is like an enjoyable deja vu feeling!

Wow!! That story makes it way less freaky and more all at the same time! I`m glad your friend was ok! ..now I will definitely look to dream "coincidences" for whatever their meaning may be for me!!
..and I started my dream journal today!
My dreams last night weren`t lucid, which is odd, I actually felt like I was experiencing what was going on. This just reinforced my theory that I have been LDing for longer than I realized, b/c my dreams almost never feel that way! Always 3rd person or like a tv show...somehow knowing it was a dream as it unraveled....except for the few times I have experienced dream control, that was totally different and more awesome than any other dream EVER!
..have a great day everyone, and sweet dreams!!
