Thread: Hi!

Hi! My name is Mchael.

I have tried to lucid dream a couple of months ago and managed to become lucid for a couple of seconds a few times. Now I wanted to try it again so I googled it and found Dream Views!
I wrote down my dream I had last night:

10-11/3 2010
23:00-09:00

I’m in a very small candy shop somewhere in some town. The candy is hard and old. The owner is a grumpy old man that nobody likes. Later a few girls from my class say they’re going to destroy his candy shop (don’t know if it was because he was grumpy and mean or if he had done something). I join in and we start walking to the candy shop with hayforks and torches. When we get there everyone starts trashing the place. I take up a pen and start stabbing the candy.
Later we are in some room which I can’t remember what it was. The police comes and talks to us. They first talk to the girls, and then to me. When we get out the girls say that the police didn’t take it too seriously and they wont get punished. Me on the other hand the police was very mad at.

I’m in a car with my dad and my brother. We’re driving to a cruise ship. When we get to the underground parking lot, Dad says there used to be stairs here up to the cruise. But instead there were two huge high-tech vending machines. We walk another way to get to the cruise ship and when we get there I see that it’s not just a normal cruise ship, It’s a high-tech military boat. When we get inside it’s just like a fancy house. We walk to the living room and there is my mother and my brothers friend, Jasper and his family. I ask dad were my camera is and he hands it to me (It’s a Canon EOS 1000D). I start taking photos out through the window and now realize that we’re in New Zealand. Now I see that my cousins also are here. Jasper and his family have some kittens with them. They are very cute so I start taking photos of them. Suddenly one of them (striped gray with blue eyes) starts talking. I can’t remember what it said though (It was something really short).
Someone has a laptop so I borrow it and check my Youtube account. It appears my video has been deleted so I upload a new one and this is when the dream starts to fade away.




So I'm wondering, should I start a dream journal thread now or wait until I can lucid dream?

Thanks!

Hi there and welcome to a fellow scandinavian!
I guess starting a dreamjournal now would be a good for you... Learning to remember your dreams is part of the "training-program" for getting more lucids. Later you can always get lazy and focus on the more important dreams or lucids.

Thanks! Which technique do you think is better If you go to school and don't have much time in the morning?

And also what is a DC as I've seen people writing?

Welcome to DV, Michael. I think the best technique if you don't have a lot of time in the morning (who does?!) is a short Wake Back To Bed, coupled with MILD. You don't need to stay up for more than a few minutes in the middle of the night. Just wake up, jot down some notes on your dream, and then return to sleep while thinking about that last dream.

DC stands for Dream Character. Here is a list of abbreviations:

Thanks! I'll start reading about WBTB and MILD in a sec. I started a dream journal too!
Miyou's Dream Journal
Any suggestions?
