I had terrible recall last night - probably because I never reached the final stage of REM because I had to wake up early

So in the place of a remembered dream I thought I'd post some reflections on the way I have been going about lucid dreaming for the past 2 weeks

Day:

Throughout the day I do reality checks in time with an alarm that rings every so often on my phone. That way I have an outward stimuli that could introduce the reality check in the dream state and I won't have to totally rely on recognition. I preform four reality checks (Looking at hands, squeeze my nose and try to breathe, look around for inconsistencies in my surroundings, and look at text/numbers twice to see if they change).

Additionally I look a dreamviews throughout the day and watch this lucid dreaming subliminal video: http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.c...nal-video.html

Night:

Before I go to sleep I meditate while listening to binaural beats and repeat the manta "the next time I dream, I will do reality checks and realize that I am dreaming." While this happens I imagine past and possible dreams in which I do reality checks and become lucid. After this I listen to a hypnosis video involving lucid dreaming mainly to get myself tired enough to fall asleep. Then I try and fall asleep, thinking about nothing in particular.

Around four and a half hours later I wake up and stay up for 40-60 minutes going on DV to post my latest dream or just reading about lucid dreaming. Then I try and fall back to sleep the same way I normally do


Problems:

1) I have a lot of trouble with going to sleep, it has gotten better with a better understanding of how I fall asleep but some nights I lie awake in bed and am unable to sleep until after an hour. And I have yet to sucessfully fall asleep after waking myself up at 4:30

2) Only two lucid dreams, and I've been at this for 3 weeks


Revisions/Additions:

1) Place less focus on the suggestion (meditation) portion of the night and focus most of my auto suggestion as I am falling asleep
2) Only wake up for 20 mins during my WBTB + MILD

Dealing with no sleep:

3) Don't drink too much water before bed
4) Exercise more during the day (This week is finals so I have been cooped up)
5) Instead of going on DV during the WBTB read a book on lucidity (easier transition to sleep)


Comments are definitely encouraged as I am super new at this

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Haven't gotten as much sleep as I wanted to this week, and I've still got some kind of virus in me. Didn't get as sick as I thought I would though. Had one dream last night.

21.45: Sleep

05.10: Stupid girlfriend
I'm with Monica in G's mom's house. We're hiding behind walls and stuff and we laugh silently at Eric's new girlfriend. She's extremely stupid and we make fun of her. Eric and I have a very long and serious conversation afterwards on the yard about the whole deal. My family keeps listening in on us and I yell at them for being idiots. Me and Monica leave the place and go in a car on the road. I can see the golf court on the other side of the big road up ahead. People are having taekwondo fights on the grass and they're amazing. One guy gets a kick in the nuts and falls down in pain. The other guy is apparently a kick boxer.

05.10: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 7 hours

Supplements before bed: 2 x Omega-3

That's it! Just had some applejuice, we'll see what tonight provides! I long for the weekend so much though...

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

1/19/11 - Window Insults

Dream Non-dream Lucid

I remember being in a room with someone named either Alex or Sebastian, and hearing people yelling insults at them through a window.

There was also a long bit where I was just reading a thread on DV.

I really hope I can remember more tomorrow; my alarm clock has messed me up the past two days. Darn school.

I am renting a flat with George. He wants his new girl to move in with us. I am quite surprised as she is not looking very good. She is quite old, has a belly and big nose, but she is a very nice person. So I didn't say anything.
I am standing in a big field next to a motor way. I am investigating there something or looking for something. There is Mike, the security guy from work. I have a argument with him. I cannot remember why. I see some tanks and planes coming there. There are also soldiers swimming. They want to occupy the place as something happened there, I have a feeling that it could be related to UFO. I am just watching it. Then I leave the place and go a bit aside.
I go back to our flat, where is George and the girl. We have a baby to look after, but we don't pay much attention to it. The baby craps itself and George's girls is going to change its nappies.

Since this was a while ago, I don't really remember all the details, but I was on a really nice beach island with clear blue water all around me. There were three people a little ways a way dancing really close to the edge of the island. I was watching them, and when I looked around the beach Island became taller. I started to go down the cliff side but got really dizzy and dove into the water. I got out of the water and was in this peach colored room, where I saw a couple people passing by, abut one person who had stopped talking to me. I called his name and he asked what I was doing in the area, saying something about a movie we were supposed to go to. he was angry and I chased after him, but I slipped and landed back on the island I woke up in the dream, and looked around at my surroundings. I went to the cliff edge of a beach island again, and called the guys name, but he didn't answer. Instead I found myself looking at the the girls again and hoping they didn't fall in. Then I woke up.

I wake in a bedroom very reminiscent of my bedroom back home. It's now unclear to me when exactly I became lucid because I fell back asleep shortly after awaking, clouding some of the detail. I do remember it to be a snap of realization. I am in the room with somewhere between two to four figures; the dream would fade in and out (without me ever fully waking up) but the setting would change slightly upon fading in. One of the characters was a young child, daughter of an middle-aged man who I recall to be a famous actor in real life. A third character was a motherly figure, who I also remember being a famous female actor in real life.

The fourth and most constant figure was a beautiful young blond woman, probably no older than 23. She had vibrant dirty blond hair and large crystalline green eyes. She was absolutely stunning. I vaguely recall thinking of her as a famous actor as well or maybe and image of a woman I'd seen browsing the internet before. I walked toward her, grabbed her hand, smiled, and imagined her with her clothes off. We proceeded to have incredible sex with me in a sitting position and her riding me. I remember thinking how I may be looking in real life, masturbating while sleeping. I couldn't care any less ; D

When I was done (I never fully finished) the dream began to fade. I remember grabbing her hand and holding it in front of my face next to my hands in order to focus. To my surprise and excitement, it actually stabilized the dream quite a bit. I decided I wanted to be free from this confining environment, so I attempted to open a window. After an unusual amount of effort I was able to get the window open and squeeze myself through it. I jumped and tried to fly, but I just glided to the ground. My disappointment was completely forgotten when I peered toward the distance to see a clustered ribbon of stars in the sky above. It was magnificent.

I made another attempt to fly, but to no avail. So I started off toward my right where I found a large grouping of dream characters wander around aimlessly around a large cul-de-sac. I decided to attempt the lucid task of the month by becoming a giant and squashing dream characters. Unfortunately, this proved to require more than the dream control I had harnessed at this point. The dream broke away.

If anyone has any idea who this mysterious green eyed woman might be, I would love to hear from you. Post links, pictures, or names in the comments section of famous actors or simply images that fit my description. If you post the woman I'm looking for, I promise to handsomely reward you with Community Hall points!

House Party - The dream opened up in the living room of a large house. I remember seeing two people I knew in high school. There were only a few people there and I was sitting at a table off to the side of the room. I didn't feel like making conversation with anyone so I waited for someone to come talk to me. Eventually a girl my age came up and started talking to me. I didn't know her but we were flirting. We kept talking and more people showed up at the house. She left to talk to other people. There room was now full of people partying and it was night. There we people around me and the girl came back to talk. This is all I remember.

Class - It started out in a huge class auditorium in college. It was the first day of class. I'm not sure what class it was but there were two professors teaching the same course at the same time. Kind of like a team. This girl was sitting next to me, I do not know her in real life. We were chatting and making jokes as the teachers talked. Some guy came and sat on my left, he acted like he was high laughing all the time. There were also a few girls with him but I don't remember much of them. As they were teaching the girls arm was resting on mine. Next the teachers asked us to form lines for something. There was crowds in the lines so I decided to wait until they were short because I was in no hurry. I eventually got up and tried to do whatever it was I was getting in line for. I had trouble and then I woke up.

night of january 18th. (2011)

I'm running with some friends, we're running away from other werewolves.
(i know they're my friends, while they're complete strangers.)
Some of the "tracking"-werewolves starts firing at us.
So we're shooting back (i suddenly got a gun)
So i killed one of the werewolves and i got blood on my hands, so i look at it (but my hands looked normal, so i didn't have a clue of being asleep)
We continue to run and suddenly someone (werewolve) shouts:" If i get proof that you're dating her (me) i'll kill you!"
So we're running on, and suddenly i'm in another room.
(it seems like we got caught after all)
He gets a floss and cotton wool (thingey)
He starts the cut the cotton wool in pieces and throws it on my body.
It burns, (sour, so it burns into my body).
I wasn't looking at my wounds though i know exactly what my wounds looked like.
"Sir, it's only cotton wool, that doesn't burn, so this means i'm asleep, so i'm dreaming. This is a dream."
i tell him.
Suddenly i had the feeling i woke up (but i was asleep)
So my dream stopped and i did wake up.

kinda awesome :3

My family went to KFC and to a variety store, and I somehow had 19 dollars worth of change in my pocket (including a 2 dollar Las Vegas coin (I don't know, either). I went to go buy pop (I really wanted pop last night :p). I even remember thinking to myself "I will see if I still have this money when I wake up", yet I wasn't even lucid. Very weird night

I was out in back garden talking to my dad about some random crap, I then realised i was dreaming and i said dad, your dreaming, wouldnt listen to me and carried on ranting on about crap, i then went into the house sat on the chair and my bro came in i said cam do a reality check and he was just about to do it and i woke up to go college was a pretty pointless LD lol

Im going to post a thread about dream sharing so you can give me and others advice on teqniques on how to dream share, thats if there is any

My driving instructor was taking me to dorchester DVLA to get my test done he said good luck and shook my hand i got out of the car and met my test guy he took me into a building it was falling apart and there were toilets everywhere i spoke to some other people and then the instructor said right are you ready for the test i got in the car and started driving, I was semi lucid so was just going with the flow i was driving around and everything was going fine until i wasnt semi lucid. i Went into 3rd person view and it turned into chaos i was crashing into other cars ran over a dog and the driver told me to go back to the start location i now went back into 1st person and he said im sorry to say you have failed, i saidby how many points and he said -60!!! WTF!! hahaha, Dream Ends


Next dream is Lucid but ill post that as another DJ

I went to sleep with music playing on my MP3 to see if it would be a good anchor. I fell asleep but shortly awoke because of a loud song that had started playing. I did not move or open my eyes and shortly experienced vibrations. After they stopped I opened my eyes and got up from the couch. I did a RC to confirm I was dreaming. Then I spun around picturing the collesium in the dilapidated city in my dreamworld. I wanted to figure out what everything in my dreamworld meant. When I appeared there I was in the middle of the arena. There were people sitting in the stands watching a lion tamer or something. They shouted at me for getting in the way. I asked, "What does this place represent?" Some random guy from the audience answered, "It represents the death of theatre in modern times," or something like that. I left thinking that it didn't make sense, but thinking now it does. Then I lost lucidity and followed the dream.

so now I know what the arena meant: the death of theatre in modern times

Ughk. I just typed my dream up and then my page went back to a different page and I lost everything I typed.

I give up.
Summing: The country Chad was next to Arizona, guy got a purple truck, mom took some of my lortbas.

Dream 1-- Lucid #9

I am waiting outside of the guest room in my house for my friend Blake, from high school. He is inside the room, speaking to me while roll around this piece of luggage I found. Somehow I am in this enclosed room that is four walls in a square shape surrounding me with two doors on the front and back wall. The suitcase is large and dark green, the room is dim without any lights and the doors are white. My dad is home and he calls up something to me. I don't remember the words but I walk over to the computer room on the other side of my staircase.

Sitting in the bench that was normally present, I look over because I can clearly see the guest room door. I am just sitting and staring, waiting for something to happen. I don't really care what in particular because I am bored and restless.

Then, my ex-gf walks out of the door and doesn't even look at me. She is busy talking to five other people who are also coming out of the door. These are tall white guys and hot white girls. I am still sitting watching how they are talking casually about bringing over alcohol. I get the impression there is going to be a party at my house, and I remember that my dad is home which prompts me to get up and walk over to them.

I stand right next to this tall white guy and confront him. I don't remember the conversation exactly, but I remember that I was surprisingly composed and confident considering I had to look up to talk to the guy. I don't know he if he ever gave a reasonable reply, but I turn around and walk away to go down my back stairs. As I walk down the stairs, I look to my right and see a whole group of people sitting in the dark and looking at me. Their eyes are wide open focused on my soul it feels like. Some of them have glow in the dark beads and sticks. Other's have whiter eyes that have a sort of glow to them.

I turn and continue to walk down the stairs for one step and then suddenly realize that I am running away from these characters and that I have a choice to stand up. Immediately I conclude that I am in a dream and I walk back up a couple of stairs. I look at their faces and say "I love you all." I feel so happy, like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I remember that I am in a dream and have to stabilize the dream so I spin around. Everything turns into a blur as I spin. Once I start spinning I can't seem to stop. All the people fade away into darkness. The dream is slipping away as I spin and I don't know how to get it back. I get the painful feeling that I am about to wake up regardless of what I do next.

Then, I feel this amazing taste in the right side of my mouth. I try to hold on and focus to that sensation. It's a tingle that reminds me of a certain flavor dessert, and I never want it to go away. As I desperately try to cling to that sensation, all other feeling is lost. My vision turns to black, I become deaf, and suddenly I reawaken in my bed

Dream 2-- Peer Pressure

I wake up in a bed in an unfamiliar room. It's large, with windows that look out to the street, three black couches that surround a table with a TV at the fourth side of the square. I walk over to the couches because I see two people already sitting down on the right side couch. I sit down in the middle couch, directly facing the TV.

The two people to the right of me are talking about smoking weed, one of them is actually my next door neighbor in the dorms. They light up a small piece and I immediately get uncomfortable. I feel like I should leave or do something to avoid smoking because I really don't want to. I don't look around I don't move I don't say anything. I just sit there, paralyzed, and wait. Eventually they pass the piece and a lighter to me. Now I'm more nervous than ever. There are extra people who have suddenly appeared on the left couch, watching me also. There is a force in me screaming DON'T DO IT. LEAVE. STOP RIGHT NOW YOU WILL REGRET THIS. Then there is the inertia. The force of smoking in a rotation, having people expect you to follow in the flow of the social environment. I gave in to this force and immediately felt horrible. I felt so shitty, in my head I reminded myself how now I would have to tell people I haven't drank for 6 months but I smoked weed yesterday.

Suddenly, we are transported into a card. I am still caught up in my mental chatter about how disappointed I am in myself and how I can't bring myself to admit to other people how weak I am for allowing these people to tell me what to do against my will.

My neighbor is talking and talking about how he is going to change his name and do this and that. He is a disembodied voice. I am just listening to what he is saying while staring out the windshield, watching as we enter on the tollway ramp.

Dream 3-- Sandler's New Movie

I am the passive observer camera for Adam Sandler's new movie. I don't know the title or anything, but I am thrown into this scene as just the camera. I watch as the main character, who is some domineering, sex-craving, megalomaniac talk to this woman. They are having a conversation at a table and somehow the topic of misrepresentation comes up. She asks him what the swastika represents and he says a man raping a woman. I tried to imagine the figure in my head, and somehow I came up with the same conclusion.

The main character stands up and is talking to Sandler in the hallway of the office. I see behind the man a giant series of windows that overlook the city. There are giant posters on the windows of movies and famous, beautiful actresses. I can't remember specifics.

ZOMBIES
I woke up at 04:00 ( I still had 3 more hours of sleep ) with a strange feeling and thoughts of zombies, yeah, but i don't recall anything about the dream... (shit! x'D). Before going to sleep, i saw the second chapter of The Walking Dead, and I think that this caused the strange feeling (seriously, a apocalyptical feel).

Concience in a False Awakening
Before this night, I never had recalled a False awakening, a VIVID False awakening. After return to sleep at 04:05 aprox. ( I wake up every day at 06:40) I had the false awakening.

Like every day, I wake up very exhausted, well, my mum wake me up turning on the light and screaming.
-Joguiiii! Wake up, look at the time!
Holy shit, It was 06:55 and i've to run to catch the bus at 07:10.
-Ok ok mum!
With great effort I could get up and BOOM!


... It was a dream! Other time the same situacion, but now, my mum didn't turn on the light and it was 06:40, like every day.

----- Conclusion -----
My first false awakening, YEAH!!!!! I don't know if that is a LD, because i don't know that it was a dream, but i think that i have full control of it, awareness, i don't feel like in NON-LUCID dreams, but well, it vas so vivid, don't know :3
