    Entry 2/2

    I thoroughly review in head the previous dreams and get more insomnia

    Vaguely recall these two as I fell asleep afterwards.

    DILD: I am in this yard like it was in the past, much wider, etc. Know I am dreaming and think of music. It think there was happiness, confidence and possibly thoughts about something before this part.

    I start to sing or expect to hear a song. My subcon picks up a dream remix of "heal the world" by M. Jackson. I concentrate on making it sound like sung by a choir and hear the music loudly coming from everywhere and into me. Notice a few instruments too, really nice. I keep singing with the music but at some point I don't know the lyrics so that makes it hard for the music to continue. In addition, the more I become one with the music coming all around me, the more I lose sight of the yard and the dream and become blind. The dream soon fades.

    I may have a micro awakening or so, no review, continue sleepying.

    DILD:Don't remember the beginning of the dream. I am in this room, talking to bf and open and close a few doors, where I think about not locking them as it is a dream.

    Bf is going somewhere but before I can say anything else, he vanishes. There's a stick that I decide to leave outside, should I need it for defense? I also notice a strange gurgling sound coming from a pipe, find it interesting. I go back to the same room, there were lots of bed there before but now it's a single connected bed the size of four beds is covering most of the room.

    I remember I wanted to play with my ipad, so I try to summon it by drawing its shape with my fingers. It's funny because I do this instinctively rather than consciously. While there's a rectangular shape in progress, it isn't working to produce an ipad and on the bed just below my hands is my ipad so I grab it and try to stretch the frame. It happens, just as if I was dragging the image of a frame on a PC. I expand the screen to a TV size, then have to apply a bit more stretching as it does not stay in the desired shape for long. It gets small again. I think about trying to control the image.

    Then something happens outside and now there are two scary zombi-like DCs and they are about to enter the place. I try to close the door although know they will get in anyways. I decide to face them and affect them. Actually, I feel quite confident and no matter how ugly they are (especially one with something coming out of his mouth), I just feel positivity and so spread it to them. They become quite happy and we just hang in there like drunk buddies. I stare in the eyes of one of them, he feels like a phantom rather than real person and is not looking at me with any purpose/driving force. The dream soon fades.

    I black out before being able to journal and have a few other dream fragments.

      Nice, congratulations on the lucids, Nyx! Ah, dream music! Sounds great.

      It's cool that you so instinctively tried the draw summon here, even if you weren't quite able to whip yourself up a full iPad. It's a good sign I think when these dream control techniques become almost like reflexes. You're bound to really believe that the tech will work if it's something you "just do". And of course, that makes it all the more likely to succeed!

      And that was some great DC management there at the end! I hope that I can remember to bring this kind of positive energy and confidence to my next encounter with a threatening DC.

      Just great moves all the way around! You were on point in these dreams. Ooh, and I see you have another one too! I'll check it out later this evening!

      Music always seems to sound interesing in lucid dreams. It is great when you can influence it and become a part of it like you did.

      I liked how you made the Zombie characters less threatening too.

      Right! Apart from lots of practice and the right attitude, do you know what I was thinking might help build up the confidence in the long term? I have to at some point go over most lds and make for personal use a very good printed list of these things I have already done in lds. So it will be something like "tasks done" - summoned item A by doing this, turned aggressive DC into a friendly one, etc. and then "tasks in progress" (notice the carefully selected label - because they will be completed!) and then contemplate on what more can be done on these. If one then reviews from time to time this skill set, maybe it will help speed up reaction time whenever a challenge arises or we need to complete another task. What do you think?

      @ Highlander

      Thank you. It really is a great experience. The good part about music in dreams is that the sound may but is not required to come from a particular object, thus it can come from anywhere (and hopefully anytime!)

      Nice LD music! It's always the best. I like how you handled the zombies. I see a theme amongst us here. Love it.

      Thanks! I hope go be able to react like this should the situation repeat. Good luck with your next encounters.

      Great idea! Man, I had something like this going when I was first starting out but it just kind of got away from me over time! It's got so many positives to it. I mean, first off, you're reminding yourself what you've proven you can do. Second, it keeps these skills fresh in your mind so that you've thought about them recently when you have your next LD. And then it gives you a great list of new goals to try.

      I especially like the idea of cross-linking it to DJ entries where it's been done, or maybe just a reminder of the tag you used in dreams where this skill was employed?

      Thanks for the great idea!!
