1. Before you go to sleep keep telling yourself 'I will wake up and recall my dreams during each dream period throughout the night', Say these words 10 times max. Say it out loud to make your intention strong. 2. Do 30-60 minute Wake Back To Bed. 'Don't use any technology because you will have a hard time falling asleep'. Try your best to recall your dream you just woke up from and write down in your dream journal and read it over and over again making your intention stronger. 3. Repeat to yourself : 'The next time I am dreaming I want to remember I am dreaming' you actually have to feel the words for this to work. 4. Imagine you're back in the dream you just woke up from and imagine yourself becoming lucid and you doing whatever you want. Don't force the visualization or it won't work. Narrating the visualization helps me visualize more vividly. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until your intention is set then fall asleep normally. While falling asleep if your mind wonders to other thoughts repeat the mild procedure. 6. If it takes you a long time to fall asleep while practicing this method, don't worry: The longer you're awake, the more likely you are to have a lucid dream when you eventually return to sleep. This is because the longer you are awake, the more times you will repeat the MILD procedure, reinforcing your intention to have a lucid dream. Furthermore, the wakefulness may activate your brain, making lucidity easier to attain.
I had a dream where I was suddenly running home from school like usual and at first I just thought I wasn't dreaming out of nowhere then I suddenly realized I was dreaming but I didn't let the awareness hit me yet then I let the awareness sink in and said a second time I was dreaming then I randomly helded on to this random girl who had red and black strips on her clothes and I felt her body then I woke up in a false awakening and saw a video on Youtube Shorts saying Kurumi sacrifice vs Sukuna but I was kinda semi lucid in the false awakening because I tried to use dream control to make Kurumi give me a handjob but I woke up for real this time.
I woke up for a WBTB and took 4mg galantamine and 300 mg Alpha-GPC. Winter Competition 2024 Five (MILD) 01.11.2024 I spontaneously become lucid and start flying. I remember there is a competition and that I need to do my three step task. While flying I reach behind my back and grab something. I pull forward a small lemon. I take a bite out of it and it isn't very flavorful. I then put my hand forward like Superman and fly super fast. I hear the air rushing past my ears. Now I remember my personal goal is to take off a VR headset that is simulating the dream. I reach up and feel a vr headset that is much smaller than current waking life products. I take it off and... nothing happens. My view is replaced with the same view from before. Huh. I fly down to a city and get caught up in a dream plot that I have mostly forgotten now.
I woke up at 5:00 AM to WBTB and took AlphaGPC and Galantamine. My recall of the dream isn't perfect because I had a couple hours of dreams after this dream was over. Juliana Vs JadeGreen One (MILD) 12.06.2023 I am in a dream that is based on The Last of Us. The dream starts out with the beginning of the outbreak and gets to the point where there are survivors living in small walled-off communities. I remmeber part of the dream I was fighting a zombie with a can of beans, trying vainly to crush his skull in. Later on, it is a nice sunny day and I am outside the wall. There are no zombies around and I become lucid spontaneously from my MILD and supplements. I fly up in the air before thinking about my goals. It feels good to fly again because it has been a while. Then I remember I was supposed to spectate Jay and Hade sparring. I fly back down and find them in the road. I tell them to get ready and say, "Jay, take out your wand." She does and I say, "3, 2, 1, Fight!" Hade fires up his jets (although the fire is invisible for some reason.) and Jay starts the somatic components to cast a spell. Hade closes the short distance and sumersaults in the air so he can kick Jay's wand out of her hand. Hre wand goes flying and he follows up with a kick to her center of mass. I remmeber Manei should be here so I turn around and Manei is there. I give her a hug and turn around to see the fight is over and Hade won. I talked with Jay a bit after this but I can't remember what we said or what happens next.

LEGEND: Black = non-lucid Grey = awake Blue = lucid Lucid fragment I reality check and get lucid, but either don't remember what came after it or the dream faded. Great false awakening lucid! Discouraged from my failed lucid that I just woke up from, I decide to do an especially aware reality check and then go to sleep with the mantra "When I see my hands I will remember I am dreaming and I will remember my body isn't real." The last part of the mantra is to make me more lucid and aware, so that I'm not just a zombie. I then heard a noise my father made (maybe be dropped something) and got startled by it, and was disappointed. But I did a reality check, and, to my surprise, I breathed right through my plugged nose and was in a lucid dream. I immediately stood up and decided to leave my home. I tried looking away and back, imagining there'd be a door. I wanted to go to a specific place, but I ended up going into a mall. For some reason I suddenly had a VR headset on my head and my lucidity slipped a bit and things started getting unclear, both since that's something that happens if you don't have your VR headset on correctly and because the dream was fading, but as I took it off it caught itself. For a few seconds, I was somewhere else, but returned to the mall without really noticing. The place might have been full of brownish sand and sort of boxed in somehow. Now, back in the mall, I run around and explore, excited, although not as aware as in the beginning anymore, but still better than any other lucid dream I've had. I see a small (100ml volume?) box of sodium iodide and think about trying to blow something up (that's hard with sodium iodide, but, again, I had lost awareness in the VR headset segment), but I ended up not trying, both because I didn't know if they'd have any chemical that'd work out with it (forgot that you could summon things since my awareness was shit) and because I didn't want to anymore. As I thought about it, I had actually tried to grab the box of it, but I only had the lid in my hands since it slipped off, and somebody was mad at me since I grabbed it (I had a small fear that someone would notice, but I didn't really care since I was sure I could just flee). And thus, I fled. I then decided to try some shapeshifting again. I looked at my hands and saw that I had way too many fingers than normal (about 14 on my right hand), so I tried to touch things with the hand to see how having more fingers feels like, and it felt like normal, just slightly different. It's hard to describe. But I didn't want to continue to do something else that is more personal. I went to a sort of computer terminal and input commands and hoped for them to appear in the dream, but it didn't quite work out. At some point I did a stabilization attempt by inspecting my hands, but still nearly woke up, but ended up back at a sort of bodyless distant view that was even less aware of the terminal, which now looked like a piano/organ, and apparently dracula was playing on it. It sort of was like a comedic variation of some sort of area in a video game. I then sort of had to click on the piano to go to the terminal again to continue typing, and it still didn't work, and then I woke up. That awareness drop after the vr segment was annoying, but being that aware at all was progress, at least. I think I will add something to get more aware of dream control in my dreams. Also, the first lucid fragment resulted from an extra aware reality check yesterday before I went to bed, since I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't reality check all that much because of school eating my time and stressing me.

Ok.... I havent had a lucid dream for about a month... I went from having about 1-2 a week to ZERO!!! During Christmas and new years my focus on dreaming started shifting towards another hobby.. I bought a Nintendo switch some time before Christmas, and u know me, I'm a tryhard personality. I have a full-time job and a hobby and a wife and a dog, so adding lucid dreaming on top of that, I used my last extra energy on lucid dreaming. The Nintendo switch kinda took up the extra energy I feel..... I still have had VIVID af dreams, but lucidity never occurred. Well tonight it did, so I guess I'm back on track ?!?! Before the becoming lucid I had 2 normal dreams.in the first dream u was in a room with my wife and we were playing a computer game together. The next dream I was driving a car through an old neighborhood I once lived in. And saw 5 people gang up on this one guy. They one guy keeps saying that "the guy in that car will come and fuck u guys up!". I told them I certainly would. I parked the car, normally (in daily life) when I park my car, I leave the car I 1st gear and turn it off. However in this case, I left the car in first gear, stepped out and then reached back into the car to pull the handbrake. Werid I thought to myself... I started taking my jacket off so it would be easier to fight these guys lol... While taking off my jacket I started thinking back to what I did before bumping in to these guys. I couldn't remember lol. I got lucid!!!!!! Mother fkin yeeeesss!!! I remembered I had these two dreams before this one. I reality checked, and certainly enough to, I was dreaming. I wanted to find one of my friends, so I tried asking the guys infront of me. But they started fighting so I didn't get an answer. I looked around, and to my surprise, my friend was standing on top of building with a psir of binoculars overlooking us. I shot webs to the building like Spiderman would, and swang to the building. I said hi to my friend and woke up.... Success!!!!!! At last lol!!!! My wife woke up at 5 am and couldn't sleep, so I woke up to. It was after this wbtb that I had this lucid!!! Thanks wife lol 👍 I also fell asleep doing my mild preps, so that might have helped me get lucid. Lucid dream was withing 5:30 and 6:50
I was in a forest, there was a horrible blizzard. I entered my car and drove in between trees until I reached ranger station. I couldn't get there as the road was blocked by a fallen tree. I drove further and lost a side mirror on one tree, then got to my house. I made a nose plug RC and entered my house. In one of the rooms my sister was watching TV. I touched her and swapped bodies with her. The dream became unstable and I woke up.
25.12.2016 (MILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I woke up 5 hours into my sleep and stayed up for 30 minutes, went back to sleep. Kept repeating "I will realize I'm dreaming". At some point I notice I'm sitting in bed. I decide to do a RC. I'm dreaming. I get out of bed and walk downstairs. I go outside and stabilize by sitting on the ground and touching the grass. It is night time. There's a weird, skinny, white cat in my front yard. I decide I want to see Tonka. I look away and look back to where the cat was, and Tonka is lying there. I lie down with him and hug him. He kisses me. His fur and smell are so real. I tell him we miss him and he just wags his tail at me. There's an acoustic guitar playing in the background, it's really soothing. I have a FA, I do a RC and stabilize. I go outside and start walking around. It's night time still. I think of making it day time using the Ocarina but decide not to afraid it might de-stabilize the dream. I grab a car and start driving somewhere, my mom is in the car and she's scared we just stole a car. I tell her it is all happening in my mind, it's ok.
26.11.2016 (MILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I woke up 6 hours into my sleep and stayed up for 25 minutes. I went back to bed and tried WILD/MILD. I kept waking up fully after noticing that I was about to start a dream. Eventually I fell asleep into a non-LD I was crying in a corner, I was really sad about something, couldn’t remember what it was I was sad about. Scene skips, I’m in a beach. A girl talks to me and tells me to come surfing with her. A huge wave washed her board away. I jump in and start swimming against the waves to recover it, but the waves are too strong. Suddenly I start getting stung by jellyfish. They are everywhere. I swim back to shore, get stung a few more times. The girl is wearing a red bikini, she has a really hot body. She has shoulder length smooth, pitch black hair, dark brown eyes, light skin but with a bit of a tan, beautiful smile, and a small mole on her cheek. I turn around and see a huge wave breaking right behind me, we get pushed towards the shore. The beach is flooding and we are required to leave and go inside a building. The building has huge glass panels and sun is shining in. The floors are white marble; people are in a rush. I try looking for this girl, I want to find out more about her. Suddenly I remember I am dreaming. I stand against a pillar and watch the DCs walk back and forth as if they are late for work. Everything looks so real. I plug my nose and confirm I am dreaming.I feel like I’m drooling and wake up. I stay still for a minute and then stand up. I do a RC, I am dreaming. I have no vision, I feel the carpet and make my way to the door, hoping to get vision soon. I wake up again. I stay still, and I feel as if my head is sliding forwards on the bed. I stand up again, do a RC. I am back at the building, looking for her. I wake up, look at the time, do a RC, I am awake. I switch positions and go back to sleep. I am at a beach with my family. We are on an inflatable deck, drinking. I am with my brother, his wife, my cousin, her boyfriend, a couple of friends, and the girl from the previous dream. Her name is… Tabatha?.. my brother gets a few drinks from the swim-up bar. I ask Tabatha if she’d like a drink and smiles. My brother’s wife says we make a cute couple. Dream skips, I am with Tabatha on shore. We are speaking in Spanish, she has a Venezuelan accent. She has to go back to the hotel soon and get ready as she is grabbing a plane later that day. I am sad she is leaving, but we have fun at the beach. Dream skips. I’m driving her to the airport, I ask her where she’s from. She says the name of a town I’m not familiar with, but it also means something dirty, we laugh. I drop her off and we kiss. I'm always amazed by how our brains can make up such a well-rounded character and bring them to life in dreams. I felt a little bad about the fact that it didn't cross my mind once that I have a gf, but then, it was a dream lol. I'm a little frustrated that the past 3 or 4 lucid dreams have all been fairly short, to the point where it feels that I am in a long dry-spell, but I guess that's better than nothing.
Beverly game With pack of classmates we were playing some video game. It was night, we were running around Beverly Hills, seeking monsters. First we entered some factory and went down into some basement. There was a huge furnace surrounded by small hybrids of humans and bats. I drawn my pistol and shot, backing off to the exit. I was back in the streets, I entered a car and drove away from there to some park. Then I was ambushed by more monsters. Water zombies I was walking around a city. It was noon, horrible heat wave hit at that time and people were always carrying some water with them. A strange illness turned people into zombies, but instead of human flesh they longed for water, trying to get it desperately. It was calm back then when I just roamed the streets. Seeing that my water was running dry, I asked some chubby man wearing a pale brown shirt, black shoes, jeans and glasses. He had brown hair. I asked him if he could give me some water, as he had a canister with him and I had only a small bottle. He refilled my bottle and I thanked him, but as soon as I took a few steps away, people from the crowd and man with canister turned into water zombies. I ran, chased by the crowd. False awakening + MILD, ToTM attempt I woke up in my bed, it was dark all around in my room. I thought that there's something not right and made a nose plug reality check. I realized that it's a dream and went out of my bed. I immediately thought about task of the month. I left the room and through the hallway I went to the kitchen. It was dark, I looked at the light bulb thinking about light and it started blinking. I waved my hand at it and it lit up properly. I thought about an advanced task, the one about pulling head through ground or floor. I lied on the floor and tried to push my head through it. I had slight problem at first but I managed to push it through the floor, and saw just ground that my house was standing on. I got up on my legs and thought about DC showing a dance. Suddenly a black man with white hair, wearing a fancy smart entered the kitchen. He started singing some nonsensical song and dancing weirdly. I woke up.
15.10.2016 (MILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I woke up at 4:15 for a WBTB. I read through some of the dreams and posts on DV. I played Zelda OoT on the Emulator and explored Kokiri Forest. I incubated my dream for a bit and then went to bed at 4:55, and tried MILD and WILD. At 5:20 I still hadn't fallen asleep an was worried as I worked in the morning. I lost consciousness between 5:25 and 5:55, then fell asleep I was walking down the street, FaceChatting with a friend from Edmonton; he was complaining it was snowing over there, whereas it was nice and sunny where I live. I went into a McDonalds and bought a burger. I was watching TV with my brother and my dad eating my burger. I spilled my drink and went to the kitchen to grab something to wash it off. My house looked like the apartment I used to live in when I was a child. The kitchen was undergoing a renovation and I couldn't find what I was looking for. I went outside and my brother came with me. We were on a backyard looking at the sky. He pointed out a cloud that looked like a raccoon. I couldn't see it but then I saw one that looked like the gamecube logo. I was finally able to see the raccoon. My brother looked at me and told me "You know what those mean, right? They are dream clouds". I was trying really hard to understand what he meant when it hit me. I became lucid and thanked him. I took off and started flying. I saw a forest far away and assumed it was Kokiri forest. I had forgotten to stabilize, so the dream started fading.
10.10.2016 (MILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I woke up about 5 hours into my sleep and stayed up for 30 minutes. I went back to bed, lied on my back, and repeated I would become lucid in my dreams. I tried paying attention to HIs but fell asleep rather quickly. I was in my grandma's apartment in Venezuela. I walked into the kitchen and noticed the stove was on; I turned it off. I walked towards the living room and saw the windows were open. I took a peek and looked down; there was a tiny waterfall just a few feet away from her window and I noticed a pile of ashes sitting on top of it, getting slightly washed away by the falling water. I looked inside and saw her ash urn was open. I assumed those were her ashes on the waterfall and grabbed as much of it as I could. I ran to the kitchen to wrap them on paper towel and suddenly remembered to become lucid. I walked towards the living room but it all started to fade. I thought I would have a FA but instead I was in the void. I focused on making my dream brighter and found myself in my bedroom. I did a RC and got out of bed. I walked towards the window, phased through it and started flying. I landed across the street. It was night time and chilly; a single street lamp was illuminating the street. I became a little uneasy for some reason but told myself it was my dream. I walked around wondering if I should try to teleport or fly to Kami's Lookout. I wanted to check how real my hearing sense was during lucid dreams, as I never pay much attention to it. I spoke, it sounded loud and clear. I decided to fly there, so I took off. I found myself flying between tall buildings and assumed it was downtown. I saw my dad shouting at me from a window, he pointed somewhere, I turned my head and saw Kami's Lookout up in the sky, Korin's tower underneath. I flew towards it but for some reason I couldn't get enough air, so I just started climbing Korin's tower. Korin wasn't there as per usual. I got on the roof and jumped towards the ladder of Kami's lookout, but woke up abruptly. I was lying in my bed, I did a RC and I was awake indeed.

29.09.2016 (MILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I did a WBTB from 4:00am to 4:20am. I intended to do MILD and/or WILD. I had a hard time falling asleep the first 10 minutes, until I switched positions. I kept reminding myself I would realize I was dreaming in the next half hour. I was at a pool party with my girlfriend and some family friends. Chris was there, I was happy to see him; he hadn't grown much since the last time I saw him. Astrid complained that I gave her a hot glass of water. I remembered there was something I needed to do. I grabbed my car and started driving. It was night time. I ran through a "red light" there weren't really any lights but I knew I wasn't supposed to go. The sky looked dark green; I remembered my mom mentioning there would be northern lights tonight, and also that there would be a storm. As soon as I thought of that, a huge storm set upon. It was thundering constantly and the wind was blowing ferotiously. I kept driving, I was a bit scared. The view itself was amazing, the contrast of the green sky and the thunders was a mix of scary and beautiful that I had never imagined. As I was driving over a bridge, it collapsed. I kept my foot on the gas hoping for the best, and next thing I know I'm back at the pool party. I instantly remember that it was remembering to become lucid what I was trying to remember. I got too excited and entered the void. I remember reading about spinning or running recently to exit the void. I started running and could feel my feet on theground. I kept doing that until I found myself in bed, feet in the air moving back and forth. I stood up and did a RC. I looked around my room and decided I would exit through the door. As I approached the door, I heard a loud growl to my left and something attacked me.
Since my last journal entry I have had very bad recall and been very busy with the start of school on top of that so I took a little break to figure out my new schedule. This morning I woke up and realized it was a good time to get started again and did MILD. 09.08.2016 12:00 PMHanging Out With Juliana (MILD) I am Supermans side kick or something. We are fighting Lex Luthor I think. There is an old lady crossing the street and Superman says to help her while he fights. I go and fly her across the street to her hotel and help her find her room. I get a sense that this is a dream and wonder if I will become full lucid. I finish walking her down the hall just to make sure I feel I finished that dream plot and do a nose plug. I think specifically about how I shouldn't fly out to superman and continue the fighting. I fly out the window and fly around Hollywood. I land and find myself in front of a 5 story building. I remember my goal is to just have a nice talk with Juliana so I stick my hand back. I feel her grab mine but it takes some focus to make it feel vivid. I say hi twice and then she responds. I look back and this time she has a buzz cut! It looks pretty good actually. She and I start walking and talking into the building and I say, "Wait. Every time I see you we start walking somewhere urgently. We don't have to go anywhere today let's just hang out and talk." "Okay, but lets go right inside here and sit down." She says. We go in and it's a hospital. We go in one of the rooms and sit on the bed. There is another patient in the bed next to us but they don't mind. I find on a table two giant delicious chocolate chip cookies and we each take one. It is really good! I say to her, "Could you show me more of your magic. Like something flashy and cool like the fireworks from last time." She says, "Sure!" and snaps her fingers and there is a bright blue flash surrounding her hand. "Cool!" I say. "How about something even more creative! What else can you do?" She says, "Okay. Look at that trash can." She points at it and a spark flys from her finger and into it. Two eyes and a mouth emerge from the front of the trash can and it starts talking in jiberish! "Cool! What happens if you make it inanimate again? Let me try." I have finished my cookie and stick out my finger to give it a try. The garbage can looks scared and pretends to be normal but I can tell it is just faking. "Here." Juliana says and sends another spark that makes it go back to normal. I start to destabilize and wake up or have an FA, I don't know, but I DEILD. I am in the loby of a hotel and skateboard out the door. Strange, I don't know how to skateboard well. I skateboard and follow someone on a bike. We fall into a pool and people try to help us out and I destabilize again. I am in a residential neighborhood and very unstable still. I walk up to a car and feel it. There are flowers growing out of the engine. I am stabilized now and decide to summon Juliana again. This time she has a brown pixie cut. It is much easier to summon her this time. We go for a walk and talk. "Do you know Androx?" She starts to think. "He is a talking cat, or a witch or something." She says she thinks she knows who I'm talking about and that it isn't supprising he found me. I say he sent me to fight evil witches and she starts laughing. "What? Are you an evil witch?" "No it's not that I just don't think there is such a clear line between good witches and evil witches. It just dosn't work that way in my opinion." "So you arn't a good witch?" She shrugs. "Well I guess you are a neutral witch then and I am okay with that.", I say. We pass by some people who are playing music loud. It is like metal mixed with drum and bass. As we walk away Juliana uses magic to make it louder. At the drop we can't help but start dancing to it. We can't really tell if we should be head banging or dancing like its electronic. haha I eventually wake up and decided to write this down before I forget it. I keep falling asleep though and eventually have a dream that I am Purple Man's pawn like in Jessica Jones.
