Another Ld :)

Well, I was at a party at a friend's house, and a couple of us were staying over. I was the unlucky one to get the floor, and I guess maybe taking my antipsychotic at 4 by accident instead of the usual 8 PM, I had a really freaky night. I fell asleep the first time after maybe a half an hour, it was cold lol, awakening shortly after to find a blanket next to me. "That works out" I thought, grabbing the blanket, laying it over me, still folded up. When I managed to sleep again (no dream remembered again, probably VERY short), I saw that the blanket could be folded out. So I folded it out, again falling asleep and waking up perhaps five times, until I fell asleep eventually, had a dream, and noticed something strange. I know this feeling extremely well now in my LDs, and immediately I am fully lucid. I decided to command myself to be extra lucid, just as everything was fading away. It worked! My dream was more vivid than any other one before. The actual content of the LD was a bit inappropriate, so I'll leave it at that . Anyways, cool 27th LD, really vivid and controllable, but I forgot to do the lucid tasks. Ah well, maybe next month. Here's to 28!

Hey I LDd again tonight for the second night in a row This was a WBTB, I woke up early in the morning, then again semi-falling asleep (one of those dreams that are more like daydreams), when I decided I was lucid, although I already knew it for a while. I commanded more vividity, and it came. I was in a familiar street near my house, and, having read about flying like superman on here, I decided to give it a shot. I flew as fast as I could, everything flying past me, like being in a low flying plane. Then the dream went a little strange, switching to a third person view, when I noticed there was a dog flying next to me, and I was a cartoon superman. At this point I'd already lost lucidity, and the dream carried onto some nonsense about a lucid video game . Anyways, that's another one down . Hope this streak is going to keep going for another little while. P.S.: I've started becoming a lot more motivated lately, and I've been doing maybe 15 to 30 RCs a day, so I hope that'll make a difference. I've stopped with my dream journal a long time ago. Should I start again? How long do you guys make your entries, because I need to get up early in the morning on weekdays, so I'm gonna try to start making entries again.

Way to go on the LDs! Nice ones - especially with increased control and vividness. I've stopped with my dream journal a long time ago. Should I start again? How long do you guys make your entries, because I need to get up early in the morning on weekdays, so I'm gonna try to start making entries again.[/b] My advice would be to keep up your dream journal - it'll only help you. And there's no requirements on length or content. Mine range from one or two sentences, to 2 pages. It just depends on the night, the dream, and your writing style. Keep up the good work!

Well, there we go, 30 lucids. Hehe 4 of them in the last week, pretty good accomplishment. The last 2 lucids (I think) were sort of helped by that I've been using autosuggestion a lot lately regarding LDs, and I've been doing a lot more RCs, which I also did in the last two lucids. I've also had a couple of WBTBs now, but I still really need some help on my WILD technique. How long does everyone spend between relaxation and SP in a successful WILD? I've never really reached paralysis fully, and I get extremely frustrated after about 15 minutes, because the first five are full of HI popping up, tingliness etc., but then in the last ten minutes the HI and physical feelings are never enchanced, which sort of pisses me off. Anyways, I've been counting back from 50 for the initial relaxation, then just waiting and daydreaming a bit, and then counting adding a "I am dreaming" behind every count. Is this method about right or are there any flaws about it?
