Thread: Questions and Answers

Do we have to post all our dreams in the workbook? I recalled at least 8 last night and I write them in a physical notebook. Can I just copy the lucids here or do I have put them all?

Also, do you have any tips for staying focused on dreaming when going back to sleep in the middle of the night. Sometimes it's really easy, sometimes my mind wanders like crazy. Do you have any kind of technique or things you do when you wake up to stay focused?

That is another whole new story. There are some foods and vitamins that increases lucidity and other who decreases them. But I do not believe this is 100% true. I do not worry about this. However, you want to drink additional water to wake up in the middle of the night to go pee. This way, you might do a WBTB (We will go over this on 3rd class) Also, avoid overeating and eating before going to bed. Otherwise, you will not have a rested night.

AND:


i think that i have a semi-lucid everynight, becaus ei always find i go, "Shoot a fireball or paralyzing needle at them, its a dream" Although i keep going along with the plot. I normally get chased by something in my dreams, how can i make that a good thing? And something usable to get me lucid?

Do you know how a Camero is? On the outside? Then it does not matter. If you want to drive a Camero, you will have a vehicle that will look similar both on the inside and the outside of it. The vehicle will speed like a Camero (probably more) and you will feel rewarded. So, the interior is not important at all. In the dream, you will probably just open the door, sit on the driver's seat and in a second later, you will be speeding...

Yeah, you probably are semi-lucid. If something chases you in a dream, you need to be lucid and stop the chase. The ask to whatever is chasing you, "Who are you? Who do you represent? Do you need something from me? Should I know something?" It will reply to you and give you responses. Then it will probably vanish into your dream body. If a dog or other animal chases you, talk with it as well, it will speak.

I know very well my fears and my dreams, but not yours. Just repeat to yourself that lucidity is not something to be afraid on. Repeat to yourself that you will not be afraid in your next lucid. Once you manage to not stay afraid in your lucids, once you turn lucid ask to the dream, "Show me my fears and help me overcome them." From there, you are on your own, but you are lucid so you cannot be harmed. You will learn what is going on in your head and you will get over it.

With age, memory decreases, true. However, if you work on your dreams, the older you get, the wiser you will be, the more lucids you will have. Forgetting lucids is a lot harder than regular dreams, and the more you work on lucids, the more lucids you have. The more lucids you have, the easier is to LD in future dreams. So, on people who works on dreams and lucidity will not have a decrease of ability with age, but an improvement.

It will be better if you do, but if takes a lot of time. Point out you have eight dreams. If you have lucids, please post them.
For your second question, that will be covered on the 2nd class
