Thread: tblanco's Workbook

Hey if you haven't already make sure to read the syllabus and first lesson.

read them both, I've been keeping a DJ since the beginning of april at lucidipedia. I'm going back to read it now.

I had a bit to dream last night. I went to sleep around 11 and woke up about 7:30.

Spelunking Madness
I am at the mouth of a huge expanse of caverns, preparing to lead an expedition to find these mystical sources of power. The entrance to this cave is very small but once I crawl through the tiny hole, I find myself inside of a giant chamber with several passages leading out of it. There is no source of light but somehow all of the rock has a dull blue glow. The cave is also chilly and damp. There is a faint odor of mildew. I choose the hole to the far left and begin following a maze. After a while of randomly choosing passages, I end up in a chamber with these statues of ogres holding hammers. On the wall behind them is a blood red war hammer bathed in a bright white light. I walk up to the hammer and touch it with my left hand. I can feel a surge of confidence from my arm to my whole body. I grab it with the other hand and the power is coursing all through my body. As I feel this influx I can see the hammer fading away in my arms. Soon it is gone and I am out of breath; my hands are hot from the touch of the hammer.

A door on the wall opens up where the hammer was before it. I walk through it and I am led down a narrow twisting corridor. Now I am running faster, excited and confidant. There is a slight wind at my back as I run. I find myself in another room. This one smaller than the room before. There are white wooden pillars set where the statures were in the previous room. Hanging from the pillars and forming an arc is a thick eggshell ribbon and behind the ribbon, mounted on the wall is a white sledgehammer similarly bathed in a bright white spot. I walk to the ribbon, step over it and then stand very close to the hammer. I pause for a second before grabbing it off the wall. Again, I can feel a sensation running through me as the hammer fades away. This time I can feel a calm pass through me, like a peaceful assuredness, and rather than fade the hammer was almost absorbed into my skin.

Well done. Keep working on your recall. Try to get enough sleep. Next week we start on DILD. That lesson requires that you have some dream recall. Because the more dreams you recall the higher your chance of becoming lucid is.

As my dragon Age binge continues, i have many dreams about underground dwarven cities. Also, last night i went to bed at 11 and woke up at three to write this dream down. I tried to get some wild action going back to sleep and couldn't make it all the way. I kept drifting in and out of SP and every time a dream would start to form i'd get shook out of it. Many times I felt that all over shudder and that's much closer than i ever got trying to wild.

So now i'm kind of zombified but looking forward to rebound REM.

I'm not sure if this is what the workbook is for but what the hell.

You can basically do anything here. Post dreams, ask questions. It's like your personal help thread. I hope you become lucid during your REM rebound. Good luck.

I had a strange dream about lucidity last night but i don't think i actually got lucid, or more to the point, the more i understood that i was dreaming, the further i got from control.

here's the dream.

I am in a field playing kickball at twilight. Our team is getting trounced. The other team seems to be cheating with super powers. People on my team keep telling me to take the ball and catch it with my mind. It's my turn to kick. My team captain tells me that when I kick it, right before someone catches it, to use my powers to flick the ball away so they miss. I'm groggy but I have the vague Idea that I am dreaming. It's like I have an impression of my body from the third person. I want to tell the team that I am dreaming but I can't make my body talk. I can't make my feet kick either. Now I know that I'm in my body in my bed and can only move the ball a little bit with my mind. As The ball rolls over the plate I flick my finger and the ball shoots in a line drive pattern over the short stop's head. I wake up.

Matte87 has given me the challenge to use telekineses in my dream so i have but, i don't know, it was a very confusing dream.

Hmm it is possible to dream about being lucid.

And that goal matte gave you is a great one. I am sure you will complete it soon.
