side notes

Well, this last week school started. I have been able to go to bed about 9:30 once all my homework is finally done.
The binaural beats have also been waking me up and I have been starting the alarm, but I guess I am just too worried about the approaching school day to really be able to get back in the dream because I had many opportunities last week where I should of just got right back into the dream but didn't. Guess I will just have to work on that and hopefully my homework load doesn't keep me from going to bed before 10. (I have to get up at 6).

Also, last night I did my normal summer routine except my stupid mp3 player glitcetched out and reset itself again sometime while I was asleep so it wasn't even playing anything during the night and I never woke up. Too bad I am broke from spending all my money on a motorcycle or I would buy a new one so I can rely on it every night instead of having to hope and pray it works.

I can only recall one fragment from last night.

I was in my room and I was training to be an astronaut! It was wierd cause I wasn't realy official or anything, just kind of like NASA went "Oh hey, let's send some random guy on the space Shuttle" (Yes I know it's retired but that's what it was in the dream). Anyways, I then remember seeing myself and the other astronauts in the space shuttle from a third person view. 0_0 We then launched and started gaining speed. Then we stalled for a minute and randomly picked up speed again. That's all I remember.

Well for some reason this past week I have had pretty terrible recall and no lucids. I honestly have no idea what was causing this, but I also was struggling with waking up from the binaural beats and starting the alarm for a DEILD. Last night I was able to recall some dreams but I didn't have a lucid. THe alarm woke me up for a second though but I couldn't recall a dream at that time. Anyways, now school is starting so I am just praying that it doesn't affect my dreaming abilities because this has seriously become a pretty major hobby.

See ya.

Well, last night was another bust, although it was more on my part. I wike up at 2:30 and got a drink. When I got back to bed I put my earbuds in, and then fell asleep without starting the second REM Cycle. *faceplam* Oh well... tonight...

Well, last night was another bust in my little 2 day streak of no dream recall and not waking up form the binaural beats. I really have no idea how this little streak began but it is annoying me. I hope tonight I get back into my routine and have some more lucid's! I also finished writing my guide on binaural beats and it is just waiting for approval.

See ya

Well, for some reason last night I only woke up once from the binaural beats which I found quite surprising. It was also already about 6:00AM and I didn't get around to starting the alarm so no lucids last night. Anyways, I did remember a bunch of fragments however, but I just finished writing a guide to binaural beats and it is late so I will do that tomorrow.

See ya

Well, last night didn't go very well in terms of dreams. I was working until about 9:00 and then went inside to get some juice but we were out! I was going to go to Walmart and get some more but my dad was out riding MY motorcycle *cough* like usual *cough* so I was stuck at the house. I then decided to go play basketball. As I was playing I ended up breaking the kitchen window on accident, so now I owe my parents however much a window costs and I'm broke. Upset about this, I just went to bed and can't really recall any dreams.

8:15 - Go shoot hoops
9:30 - Go for ride on motorcycle
10:00 - OJ, Grape Juice, Milk, banana
10:30 - Get on DV
11:00 - Go to bed with binaural beats
2:30 - Wake up and begin second cycle
4:45 - Wake up again and start alarm
5:00 - 5:30 - Have DEILD
7:30 - Get up

Well, last night was pretty typical.

8:00 - Go shoot hoops
9:15 - Go for motorcycle ride
9:45 - OJ, Grape juice, milk, banana
10:00 - Get ready for bed
10:30 - Get on DV for a while
10:45 - Vitamins with glass of water
11:00 - Go to bed w/ binaural beats
2:30 - Wake up and make recording. Go back to sleep for second cycle
4:30 - Wake up and get a drink. Start alarm and go back to sleep
4:45 - Wake up from dream and re-enter it for a WILD!
7:30 - Wake up

Well, I think it is safe to say that I am finally to the point where I am able to have a lucid every night as long as I get enough sleep !!!!! Man it is so exciting I just can't describe it. I am also really working on dream control and have to say it is coming along nicely. Can't wait to finally accomplish some dream goals!!!

See ya

8:00 - Go shoot hoops
9:15 - Ride my motorcycle a couple miles to cool off
9:30 - Come back in and have OJ, Grape juice, milk, and banana
10:00 - Get ready for bed
10:30 - Get on DV and update DJ
11:00 - Go to bed with binaural beats
2:30 - Wake up, make recording, got back to sleep for another REM cycle
4:15 - Wake up again, make recording, start alarm
4:25 - Alarm goes off, I remember dream and have WILD
7:30 - Get up

Well, another successful WILD!!! The binaural beats are AWESOME and when coupled with that alarm... WILD's are a piece o' cake. That is, when my mp3 player doesn't glitch out and shut off randomly. It's probably time for a new one, lol.

See ya

Well, after another one of those mini-buisness trips, I just got back a few hours ago. The trip though is where I had 4 of the 5 of the dreams I just posted. I was able to go to bed at 10:00, and sleep in until 9:00!! THis helped enormously with dream recall, as I wasn't rushed to go to work or anything.

I am also very close to one of my biggest dream goals / desires so I am really determined for it to finally happen next lucid!!!! (don't bother asking though cause I won't tell you. lol)

Also, one of those dreams was very interesting because it was about the shared dreaming project. I am really starting to wonder if it is seriously possible, which would be very cool.

Well, that's about all for now.

See ya

Well, I decided to mix up my routine a little bit and have my nightly juic, milk, and banana, AFTER basketball.

8:30 - Go shoot hoops
10:00 - Come back in and have OJ, Apple Juice, milk, and banana. Get ready for bed
11:00 - Vitamins with glass of water
11:15 - Go to bed with binaural beats
2:30 - Wake up and begin second sleep cycle
4:30 - Wake up again and get ready to start alarm... put in earbuds and fall asleep. *facepalm*
8:00 - Get up

So ya, I had a bunch of dreams in that time period where I SHOULD OF started the alarm, and it would of been an excellent opportunity for another WILD. Grrr... can't believe that happened. Oh well...

Last night I was able to go through my normal routine again but it didn't go so well in terms of dreams.

8:30 - Finish OJ, Cutie's juice, Apple juice, milk, banana, one bite of apple that turned out to be incredibly sour. - Go outside and shoot hoops
10:00 - Come back inside
10:30 - Get ready for bed
11:00 - Vitamins with glass of water
11:15 - Go to bed with binaural beats
8:00 - Wake up

So for some reason last night my mp3 player glitched out or something because when I woke up this morning, it was turned off. Now I know last night I put the 'hold' slide on so I know I didn't roll over and turn it off or anything. Also, when I restarted it this moning, it defaulted to the song first in alphabetical order, instead of my sleeping playlist. So ya, maybe I need a new mp3 player if it does this again because I really hate losing a perfectly good night of sleep where I could of had dreams but now I can't remember anything because of that.

Oh well, that's what tonight is for.

Well, I just got back from another of my weekly buisness trips. Man these trups are really killing my dreaming attempts. Anyways, now I am back however and going to go work on some more WILD's!
By the way, now instead of drinking orange juice at night, I found Cutie's juice! It is actually pretty tasty and a little better than OJ I think. (ok, that was random)

Sorry for kind of making a pointless short Dj entry but I felt like I might as well put something down now that I am back.

See ya.

Last night I don't know what heppened. All I know is that I woke up to delta waves and the alpha waves never woke me up the second time for some reason. Anywyas, I didn't start the alarm or have and dreams I can really remember.

8:30 - OJ, Apple Juice, Milk. Watched a movie instead of shooting hoops (maybe that was my problem???)
10:00 - Get ready for bed
11:00 - Vitamins with glass of water
11:15 - Go to sleep with binaural beats
2:30 - Wake up to alpha waves, then start the second cycle
7:00 - Get up after waking from alpha waves

Well, last night didn't go so well. I am going to try and go to bed an hour early just to mix things up and see what happens.

See ya!
