Thread: My Personal Journey: A Day by Day Account on My Lucid Dreaming Abilities

Sometimes, WILDs will lead to unintentional DILDs I guess not this time, but it's something to look forward to

I've also dreamed about going to sleep, and WILD'ed from within the dream I guess the whole key here is to keep going to sleep thinking about lucidity It will pop up in surprising ways!

Day Ten

I had a very long dream last night, but unfortunately waited to write it down so I forgot most of it. I posted it in my online DJ.

Day Eleven

Another very long dream, with most of it taking place in a classroom. However, it's all fragments.

My internet has been down since Thursday night, so I'll fill y'all in with what I remember from Thursday and Friday.

Also, on Wednesday, I took my first MILD-1 class hosted by PercyLucid.


Day Twelve

Had a good night's sleep tonight and woke up feeling refreshed. Throughout the day, I was relaxed and did an assortment of RCs and Mantras that I started before the class as well as some new mantras that I started after Wednesday's lecture. I didn't really watch TV at all Thursday, nor get on my computer (because I didn't have internet access). As I fell asleep I periodically affirmed that 'I will lucid dream soon' and tried my best to fall asleep with that in mind. Unfortunately I can't remember the dream(s) I had that night.

Day Thirteen

I was pretty stressed throughout the day due to three tests that I had in school. I didn't focus as much on my RCs or Mantras due to the tests as well. I really only started to remember my LD training about an hour before bed. During this time, I focused on my mantras and read a few chapters in my book before bed. I read Armor, by John Steakley, and this really influenced one of my dreams because the book was the setting for the dream. But that alone is just fragments and I can not remember any other dreams from that night.

My internet *should* be okay from now on, so expect more consistent posting!

Post here every day! The biggest problem people seem to have is losing motivation and just not trying as hard or taking breaks. If it seems you're posting a bunch of boring failure entries each day, don't worry, I find it very interesting to see how many failures it takes to produce a success...

I really hate my life right now.

I wrote up a HUGE dream I had last night and pressed command 'a' to select it all and copy paste it to my MILD journal, but my finger managed to hit 'q' as well, closing not only Firefox, but my 4000 word dream entry as well .

Oh, well. I guess I'll have to type it up again when I'm not in such a sour mood .

Good luck with the dreaming...I've been here since earlier this year but have only managed to have 1 LD. I'm working on doing an RC whenever I see one of my recurring DC's in real life.

Gahhhhhh!!! Computers are more problems than they're worth, some days

That sucks. =(
At least you didn't do that on a tiny handheld device...

A quick tip - in the mornings try to look for a chain of signs that you aren't dreaming (for example, you wake up and read your alarm clock several times. pass. go to the bathroom. light works. do a quick nose RC. now you know you aren't dreaming and you are good for the day. however, still do them when waking up and when going to sleep)

Awesome, thanks guys. So far everything has been normal.
I have a few dreams where my Reality Checks are, well, realistic. I tried to blow out of my pinched nose and air came out. Then I tried to put my hand through the other hand and it didn't go through.

Percy's MILD class has been helpful too, and I've been trying to incubate a dream for the past couple of days. We'll see how it goes.

So you just lost motivation and gave up on us? where you at?
