Andra's MILD-1 Workbook

[Andra]

I'll post here my MILD attempts and dreams

[Andra]

I tried to MILD last night but it did't work...I daydreamed about stuff reminding myself I was dreaming.I'm not sure how I should do it but whatever.Maybe I shouldn't move as mush as I usually do. Now my dreams from last night First I'm in my yard and get in the car with my parents.We were supposed to visit my grandparents.I tell my parents I need to pee first but they say I can wait until we arrive.I notice we go on the wrong road and find it weird and before I know it we're now in a cart and remember seeing some people but I can't remember very well because I thought I'll remember all the details of this dream so I didn't write it down.I guess I was wrong Also when I was in the car there were many sweets but I didn't eat any... I'm in front of one of my former teacher's house .I then open a door and see this guy I don't know but then I see one of my friends and believe they know each other.Then I just walk on the street and remark that I have a jacket in mu arms.It's a shade of green and then I look to see what I'm wearing.I was wearing a T-shirt the same color as the jacket.I then see a couple and because I was a girl in this dream I couldn't help noticing the guy which I thought was really hot.For some reason I decide not to look behind although it was tempting. Ohh!!I should probably mention that in dreams I change gender a lot.When I'm a guy I feel attracted to girls and when I'm a girl I 'm attracted to guys...I know...weird...but it's the only dream sign I noticed and the good thing id it happens every night.I never became aware I was dreaming because of this dream sign though... I'm with a guy and a old woman I think and she teaches us how to make some sort of pie.After we finish we start eating and it tasted amazing!!I remember it had some of mu favorite fruits in it.Then I find out that one of my colleagues is fired(not one of my real colleagues but the guy I just told you about).A DC tells me his fired because he's almost 30 and I find it stupid.Now I'm at a friend's house and there are 2 kids I know IRL and they have make-up on kinda like clowns do.We go inside the house and I start eating some sweets. I'm at my grandmas and I see my cousin.She was getting dressed and wanted me to take her out only I tell her I don't want to change my clothes and go anywhere.So she goes anyway with one of my friends.After she leaves I start running after her immediately only I realize I have no shoes on and that I have a needle in my right foot.It hurts so I stop and go back thinking she had my bike so there was no way I'll catch up with her. I'm somewhere near the fortress in my village only it's different.I want get some apples so I go in an orchard to get some.The reason I want the apples is to make juice because I heard it helps with lucid dreaming.I ask a guy for permission and he lets me.So I go in.At first I can see apple trees but then I'm in some sort of basement and there are apples.Unfortunately I have to search for fresh apples but at first I can only find wizened apples.I then find some that seem fresh and juicy and wonder if there's anywhere written the year they were harvested.I then notice that there is ''2008'' written on the wall and I'm like ''Ohh they were harvested just last year so they should be juicy enough''.Also when I'm looking at the apples I see some things related to gothic architecture and I think it has something to do with the fortress.So after I have the apples I find myself in a house and see some women came with some fruits.In the dream I think it's because they have to replace the apples I took.One of the women had wheat...

The dreams I had 2 nights ago I'm in the bathroom looking in the mirror.I look perfectly normal and I think ''Too bad this is not a dream'' I'm with a friend in an unknown park and we both have a bag with bread in it.We know we have to go somewhere far away and I say it's a pity we don't have a bottle of water because we'll be very thirsty. With my mom and brother in the car.We stop in a gas station and I notice a supermarket.She tells us to wait in the car and that's what we did. I'm chatting with someone on a blog and she answers really fast and I find that really odd but quickly forget about it.We talk about our favorite TV shows.She says she'd like to see Californication and I tell her the show isn't that great.Then we talk about our favorite music .After this she tells me that if I ever go to New York to let her know because she'd like to meet me.I'm then with my parents and tell them.They don't seem to care at all.Now I'm in our little vegetable garden because apparently I need to take a shower and somehow the shower is in our garden.After I take the shower I know that the DILD class is supposed to start soon but I find out that Naiya cancelled id because she's supposed to do to Miami to do something important(in the dream Miami was actually somewhere in Italy).The scenery changes and I'm in NY flying along the Brooklyn Bridge only it looks different than IRL.

Last night I'm in an unknown building with my girlfriend but she's pregnant and about to give birth.I call 911 only the police come instead of an ambulance and I'm confused. I'm somewhere near my school ans I sit on a bench.There's this woman that starts playing the keyboard.I kinda recognize one of the songs but the rest were probably made up by me.A lot of people come to see her and many of them want to sit on the bench and there's this woman with her kid.She puts the kid in my arms so that she could sit too.I don't mind but then the music stops ant I see a little keyboard and wonder how the hell did she play those complicated songs on such a tiny keyboard.Then we all start running down the street for some reason.I still have to take care of the kid.I call mom and tell her where I am.She says she's near and while I'm running with the kid I see my mom's car and let the kid with his mother and get in the car.Mom then drives and we end up on a very narrow road and ask myself how come she didn't hit the car yet. Now I'm in front of my brother's computer and I want to practice dream control.So I play this video game and whatever I do the character in the game does.So I jump in front of the computer but in the game I actually jump a lot higher.Then I somehow got in the game and I'm being chased but then escape.The scenery changes and I'm home on the balcony with my grandfather and sister(they don't exist IRL and they looked exactly like some actors from a TV show I watch).We talk about school and I complain about my math teacher. I don't have any idea where I am but I'm with this girl and we meet with the Desperate Housewives.I remember Eva Longoria was there and they invited us to have lunch with them.So we all start eating except the girl I was with in the beginning.I feel sorry for her and knowing she didn't have any money I order a sandwich for her.Anyway somehow I'm the one who gets it and I forget everything that just happened and start eating it.Is was pretty good btw. Now I'm in Create A Sim and I already have the sims only I want to change their skin color(the were my favorite sims and couldn't understand why they were not white anymore).But I can't get them to be white.All I did was I added some blue which only made it worse. I'm home and some friends from Germany came to visit us.I start talking with their daughter and she shows me this magazine with men(thank God they weren't naked).I try to be nice and agree with whatever she says then our parents come and she hides the magazine.I then tell her we should go upstairs in my room.Then she leaves shortly and I pause a video I wanted to show her on youtube.She comes with that stupid magazine again.I ask her if she saw that video and she says no.The dream ends...

[Andra]

I forgot a dream though.I was in bed trying to fall asleep and all of a sudden I started feeling like I was about to WILD.I felt the vibrations and everything and at one point had the impression that I started floating about 1 inch above my bed.Then I felt as if my entire body was being moved and I wondered how come I didn't fall out of my bed.I'm not sure what this was.Usually when I WILD my entire body starts floating or at least part of it.I remember once my feet started floating but my head wouldn't come out so I had to use my hands and force it out.The thing is when I WILD I always have an OBE.So I don't know...maybe I was just dreaming I was having a WILD.I don't even know it this counts a s a lucid...I guess not but I was so damn close!!!

[Andra]

I remember 2 dreams I had last night but not really in the mood to post them.Also I had a dream in which I reality checked and became lucid.The dream almost ended but I managed to stabilize it and I had a nice long lucid.I tried ti find my DG again and asked a few DCs where he/she is but they didn't understand what I was talking about.Also in this lucid it was the first time I tried spinning and although in the beginning nothing happened eventually the scenery changed.Another thing I tried was to find someone but only found a DC which kinda looked like the person I wanted in my dream.I noticed that and was kinda disappointed but since it was my dream I knew it was supposed to be her.Not to mention the fact that she was with a guy when I saw her and the first thought that came in mind was ''Damn!!!What if she's dating that guy??!!''So obviously because of that thought not only was she dating him but he was her fiance.She was willing to be with me but first she wanted us know each other.Anyways I wasn't very excited since she still looked pretty different.She was beautiful but still....different Oh well...I kissed her anyway Also at one point I noticed that I was cold and then I was able to feel the wind which was really cool

[PercyLucid]

2 nights ago First I'm at my computer reading a message from Percy and then I PM Naiya about something that involves lucid dreaming but not sure what. I'm at some sort of show with my friends.Then for no reason my friends and I leave briefly but return and take our seats only this time one of my colleagues sat on my chair and I tell my best friend that we shouldn't have left.Then I'm on stage and I see the judges and they seem really angry and the next thing I grab a colleagues guitar and start playing.This was actually freakin awesome!!!I was a bit confused because I could play the guitar but amazed that I was able to make up an amazing song.I also started singing at least at the end and all I wanted was to end the song because one of my guitar's strings broke.I'm not sure if ''broke'' is the right verb to use in this context but you get the point.Anyway,I finish the song and give the guitar back to my colleague.Then she tells everyone she can't play anymore because the string is broken.Then my dream continues with this woman that's supposed to be my friend.Her boyfriend is mad and also an alcoholic.Then I'm in the car with her and probably 2 more persons and I think she was following her boyfriend because at this point I was only an observer and I saw 2 cars. In another dream I was at my grandmas with my cousins and for the first time I saw myself in a dream(third person view).I experienced this before but every time I looked different than in reality.I remember once seeing myself as a Japanese or once I was Edward from Twilight and got in a fight only immediately I left that body and saw Edward fighting some guy.

Andra, Just read your lucid from 8/8 - I was blown away. Great story as well - funny and tragic. Anyway, congrats on an amazingly vivid lucid where you did almost everything I want to do first (you only left out flying). Not only that but you controlled the dream as well - WOW!

[Andra]

I remember a really long dream from last night but I'm not in the mood to post it especially because it was an annoying dream.I mean I'm the kind of person that has fun in nightmares when being chased or fight someone or save the world.Still I hate the type of dream I had last night.If I have something in my dreams is when I'm ignored or insulted.And that's exactly what happened in this dream.Mainly what happened was my aunt insulted me then I'm in this place with some friends.A couple of things happen and then there are these 3 girls that pretty much make out with everyone.I kinda ignore them at first a bunch of stuff happened like then making out with Lady Gaga and so on.But after a while I start wandering why the hell I'm the only one they didn't wanna make out with and I just look at them and notice how pretty they are.They were about 16-17 years old with blue eyes and long blonde hair...just really beautiful.Of course this only made me feel worse

[Andra]

thanks Stephanie it was pretty cool can't wait to have my next LD

[Andra]

I was so close last night!!!!!! I had a dream and at some point I'm with 2 friends in front of my house and I have to leave somewhere.So a taxi comes and I run towards it.Then another taxi came but the driver in the first taxi shouted to get in the car immediately.So I get in the car but first I notice that instead of TAXI it's written MILD.And once I'm in the car I start talking to the woman (the driver)and she tells me to simply imagine I'm dreaming and shut up.I continue telling her that I'm not sure how I'm supposed to MILD but she tells me I'm dreaming and to shut up again.I thought she was mad because I was distracting the other people in the car who were trying to MILD.So I shut up and think that this could also work as a WBTB.Ohhh that was so close.The woman even told me I was dreaming but I thought she was just trying to help me concentrate and MILD. I also had a nice non lucid.I am in a park and see a house and I know I had to enter so I just ring the bell and a woman lets me in.Now I'm in the house with my partner and we lie about something important and after a while they find out.The woman acts like crazy and I have to jump out the window but try to make them calm down because I wanted to date their daughter then the dream ended...

[Andra]

ALMOST LUCID!!!! I dream I'm in my bed and it's dark and suddenly I decide to RC.I pinch my nose and realize I can breath but not easily.So I'm confused and don't know if it's a dream or not.Then I quickly grab my mobile to RC and see what tome it is.At first the screen is blurry but that changes and it says it's 10:20 or something.It doesn't occur to me that it's impossible to be 10:30 because I went to sleep at 12:30.Then I probably fell asleep in my dream .... I'm at school with some old friends in what used to be my classroom.One of my friends brought wine and someone offered me some.At first I say no but then she wanted to throw it away so I stopped her saying I changed my mind.So I drink and the wine is horrible!!!!It didn't even taste like wine.Then I'm in the hall with a former classmate and she's smoking.I decide to just try it since the only time I tried it was when I was about 5-6 years old.It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either so I give her the cigarette back.Then I'm in my classtoom with some colleagues.I don't remember exactly what happens but I start chatting with some twins and we agree about something.Then I notice they're both really pretty and wouldn't mind if one of them was my girlfriend.Then I'm in a supermarket with my family.Don't remember exactly what happened but at the end of the dream we were at a checkpoint and I saw the twins again at another checkpoint.I was wondering what to do but then the dream ended. Recently I had another dream with twins.Again they were really beautiful with long blode hair and blue eyes.Actually they looked similar to the twins I had in my dream last night.Appearently I dream of blue eyed blondes a lot and I don't understand why.The only blonde I actually think of rarely is in my dreams...And in my last lucid I wanted to see her but she didn't look like the ''real'' one she just looked similar. I guess I should start RCing every time I see a blonde In another dream I was in a gas station and I think it occured to me that it might be a dream.Anyway I didn't RC. I dream that I'm awake in bed.It's morning and for some reason I RC.At first I can breath though I have difficulties.I try again and this time I can breath easily.I'm still not sure if it's a dream so I get up and suddenly I feel very dizzy but then everything is back to normal.I then go to the window and want to see if I can get through it.But I stop because I realize there's a 1 meter thick layer of snow outside.I become very happy and forget about the RC. Well I lost last night 2 huge opportunities to become lucid....The nose pinch RC never failed me until last night but at least I'm on the right track

[PercyLucid]

Darn! Excellent job!!!! Near miss lucid is an excellent sign you are on your way. Awesome job!!! Keep focusing on turning lucid, on flying over a forest and you will do it!!! Try to do at least 3 RCs. I do in this order: Hands (works 95%) Nose (75%) and then, gravity (jump - 100% for me) I am sorry for my delay, I have been reading your workbooks but I've been insanely busy!!

[Andra]

YES!!!! I did it!!!!I had a short LUCID last night!!!! I had a FA and it was night.I got up and wanted to turn on the lights only they weren't working.So I pinched my nose and was able to breath.Then I started touching stuff(my method to stabilize the dream) and then I rubbed my hands.I remembered about the forest,my intention to find my DG and to ride a unicorn.Because it was dark I wanted to change the scenery so I tried spinning.Unfortunately this caused a premature awakening .I RC but I wasn't dreaming anymore.My dream recall was good.I remembered 3 dreams and some fragments from another Ohhh I forgot about something Percy.What should I do when I become lucid but I'm in my bedroom and it's dark?Because it happens a lot.Also if I fly immediately I wake up unless it's a WILD.

[Andra]

ANOTHER LUCID!!!!!:rockon It was short but the quality absolutely breathtaking...I had a FA in which I woke up because I heard my brother playing the guitar.At first I was very mad but before I had the chance to get up I realized it had to be a dream.I RCed and stabilized the dream.It was pretty dark but there was enough light to see mu keyboard computer and everything.But before I knew it the room lightened and I looked through the window.I saw the most amazing view!!It was without a doubt as real as IRL.There were mountains and some snow on the peaks.Actually it looked a lot like this Mountains image by palerider_2008 on Photobucket There was no lake though and the terrain was a bit hilly.Also there were some red flowers.I'm pretty sure red roses.Obviously I wanted to go there but I wasn't able to go through the window.I tried dematerialising myself and I noticed this smoke like stuff that got out of my hands.Then I tried to get through the window again but only my hands got through.So I wasn't sure what to do. I was able to fly though...Anyways the dream ended because I was at the end of my 4th REM cycle I had another FA(not after the lucid) in which I heard a noise.Then I noticed I had some really dark curtains and I thought ''Ohh my mom must have replaced them so I could sleep longer and have a lucid'' Another dream worth mentioning is that for the first time I smoked marijuana in a dream.It was cool.I was planning on trying marijuana to help me WILD.

[Andra]

I remember a couple of dreams from last night.But in 2 of them I was very close to becoming lucid. First I was at my aunt's house.It was a warm sunny day and me and my cousins were sitting at a table outside.There was also this guy who was trying to teach us how to lucid dream.He asked us to do some things but I can't remember.What I do remember is that I went in the garden to do something he asked me to and I think I found giant raspberries(when I visualize I'm in a forest I always find giant raspberries and eat them). Then in another dream I was in my bedroom and I was in front of the mirror.Nothing looked odd except I was wearing some clothes I don't own.I was thinking ''what if this were a dream?''.Still I didn't RC.....

[Andra]

I remember 5 dreams from last night most of them were long and pretty cool.In one of them I ordered peach cobbler and it was the most amazing food I tasted in a dream.It was so good that later in another dream I was still thinking of it. Also I had another short lucid!!!Unfortunately it was once again a FA after a series of long dreams...So I was in bed and randomly decided to RC.I became lucid and got up.The problem was I was feeling very dizzy like I was drunk or something.Also I realized that my eyes were only half open and I had trouble fully opening then.So I went and looked in the mirror.I looked normal except my eyes were indeed half open and the edge of my ??(I'm not sure how you call it in English but it's the black part of the eye) was colored blue(same shade as my iris).I found it quite fascinating and managed to fully open my eyes.Then I wanted stabilized the dream but I was still feeling dizzy and I knew my dream was gonna end soon.And it did... What's really annoying is that most of the time I become lucid at the end of my REM cycle....and I have no idea why...maybe it's just a coincidence

[PercyLucid]

It's coincidence... and at the same time is not... You are getting close to the end of the REM so your awakening... your mind prepares for waking function so you are more aware and turn lucid. You just need to keep focused on lucidity and visualize it and you will turn lucid sooner! You are getting close though.

[Andra]

I misses another chance to become lucid I was in my old room and I laid on my bed and visualized myself flying.In a few seconds I was actually in a city flying around.After a while I woke up or so I thought...I was excited because the visualization worked and it was so easy...I couldn't understand why Also I had 3 dreams with my dream girl In the first one I just came home with her very proud she was my girlfriend.My aunt was there and she was very impressed.For some reason I had to wash my hands so my girlfriend stayed with a kid(about 10 years old).I could still see them and was with my aunt and suddenly it ocured to me that they might make out.Immediately after this they started making out.You have no idea how hurtfull it is to watch the woman you love making out with a 10 year old... In the second one I was on the street she lives on and was waiting for her.Then the dream continued with something about NFS and cars In the 3rd dream I was looking in a magazine and I saw this girl that was supposed to be my girlfriend but she looked different.She was beautiful but her face was different and her hair was brown.I was quite confused at first I thought something like ''Hmm I was pretty sure she had blonde hair...and her face is different''.After this I was just disappointed because she wasn't as beautiful as in reality...

[Andra]

Nothing very interesting from last night...I only remember 4 long dreams in one of which my brother was driving a car and I was like ''Hold on a sec!He's just 14 he can't drive!!'' I didn't become lucid but my brother had to stop the car because he couldn't drive anymore.

[Andra]

I remember 3 dreams 2 of which were extremely long.In the third one I was in my room and wanted to take a vitamin c pill to help me with lucid dreaming.The thing is IRL I have only 2 pills left and in the dream the box was full.I thought it was weird but didn't RC.. Also why I'm falling asleep I visualize the forest first but them I imagine I change the plot and do stuff I want to do in my dreams so I won't get bored.So I fall asleep doing this.The weird thing is that for example last night I woke up and was still visualizing but not things I wanted to but random stuff.Then I started thinking about my dreams and couldn't remember what I was just visualizing which is very weird.So I think I might have been dreaming and not visualizing especially because it feels like my subconcious was taking over.This happens to me a lot lately Anyway I hope I'll complete the task on time
