To Write In A Ld

could you type? maybe pen words on a pad? one word. let's start with one word. could you write it in a lucid dream? could you remember it when you woke?

could you write three words? could you write them and look at them, focusing on them remaining the same. ah! they change! inevitably, but if it's only three words, could you focus on putting them back to what they were? could you do it with a whole sentence?

can that part of our mind be strengthened with practice? that way, we'd have something tangible on awaking. "i thought of and wrote this sentence in a lucid dream..."

Being able to remember things in a lucid dream could be amazing.

Almost like a drug.

I used to be a heavy diphenhydramine user.

I'd often hallucinate various symbols or words on the walls.

I'd write them down, and realize how stupid they were later.

Always dumb things, usually random letters.


But with a dream, things make sense

Yeah, interesting... :)

I wish there was some way to keep something from a dream, like an object or note...but how? Memory is the only carrier of this information...

Yeah that would be pretty cool because I've had dreams where I was getting ready to grub on a Big A** Cupcake and right before I ate it I woke up. And I really wanted that cupcake. Checked my hands. No Cupcake. checked the Kitchen No Cupcake.

Far out I would love to do this. I was talking about in another thread about the amazing music ... whole arrangements of all kinds of instruments... just coming out of no where when i start conjuring. I wish so hard I could notate these down in musical form so what I awake I can put it back together!... one day!

Is it possible to train yourself to talk while lucid dreaming? If you could leave a dictaphone recording whlie you describe the scene.. that would be pretty usefull.

Is it possable to make your really body speak wile your Lucid Dreaming? or dose SP stop that

I don't think it's possible.

Haha, that's like a paradox (at least when taken out of context.)

Typing would be hard, it's way to indirect. Like with electronics, that isn't likely to come out the way you want to. I don't think a normal typewriter works, becouse it still is to complicated.

However you could write with a pen. Only no matter what you write, anything can appear or vanish in a second. :)

yes it does vanish quickly. it changes. that's the trouble! but i was thinking of this as a kind of excersize in concentration. if in our lucid dreams we practiced concentrating, i wonder if it would get easier?

at first glace it seems the dream-world is inevitably ever-changing. but here's another excersize. returning to the same room in a dream, with the same items on the same shelves--a practice in stabilizing our conscienceness. perhaps we create the room very simple on paper, and then work each night to go there.

the purpose wouldn't be so much just to have a stable scene in a dream. it would be to excersize a part of our mind that is usually really fickle. i mean it seems that we can do anything with enough practice, the human mind is such an incredible design. and if we can take baby steps, maybe eventually we could start forming and -keeping- creative ideas, poems, visions of paintings, structures of music, without them going ablur.

lets begin !! :yumdumdoodledum:

Well for me
in a Ld actually a few days ago I was typing some words by useing a computer
and I remember that ld I wrote on the wall "www.dreamviews.com" :bigteeth: if someone read it
and I can write on a paper in ld
also I remember what I wrote

By the way the words rarely change when I write them :)

I'm not sure if it's possible. Because once you've written down something and you look away, chances are it has changed already!!

This is interesting.

The other night, I had a false awakening from a lucid, and I tried writing the previous down since it was my first fully controllable lucid.

I had (of coarse) lost lucidty, and was in my room. I grabbed a notepad, and remember the light being very dim. Since I write well without looking, I tried writing down my sentences. It was like sitting in my bed I could not see the sentence, but after each sentence I could lean forward to look at them in the light. Unfortunately, the words were all smashed together and curving badly when I looked to see how well I had wrote in the darkness, and I don't remember what I saw as far as words.

I do however remember creating the sentences to write as I was writing them; just couldn't see them afterwards.

Dream Sailor, awesome. now the important thing to me would be to recall the sentences you were writing. what were the words? i mean it don't really matter if we can remember what we read -after- we wrote it, but to remember what we wrote.

think of it this way. we all have thoughts. but writing is sort of consistent thought. it's focused. from the soup of our minds, feelings and images are formed into sentences. writing puts them into solid form. it's not because they're put onto paper that they're now solid so much as it is that our determination to focus in this tangible way of pen-to-paper has impressed the thoughts and feelings into our memory. it's like, we know that if we keep a journal of our daily life, when we read it years later we remember a lot more than only what we wrote. because those feelings and thoughts back then drove a whole at-the-time experience into our fore-conscience while we were writing and focusing so intently. we remember the sun and the waves and the seagulls and how we walked with our brother along the beach picking up seashells. we remember our summer vacation so clearly by only reading a few words.

i was just thinking that writing, or any concentrated action in a lucid dream would help retain memory! it would obviously need to be practiced. instead of running around doing flips off cliffs and flying to the clouds (as fun as that is), we'd have to practice focusing and remembering.

think of it. visualizing a painting while dreaming, and then waking to remember how it looked. how much better to actually experience painting it with each stroke, and remembering our thoughts when we drug that sharp yellow line across the canvas with our brush? " i remember thinking how this yellow was so perfect against this dark brown. i remember how i wanted it to look like sunlight. "

anyhow, this is my theory. i think it'll be something i practice after i am better at just making the lucid dream stable. that's my first step.
