Lucid dreaming Day! APRIL 12TH

Celebrating Lucid dreaming Day!
Every year, on April 12th, lucid dreamers around the world unite to celebrate Lucid Dreaming Day.
April 12th marks the anniversary of the world's first laboratory research proving the validity of lucid dreaming.
Lucid Dreaming Day provides a platform for lucid dreamers to raise awareness of their passion and introduce the uninitiated to the wonders of dream exploration. Join us in celebrating the wonders of lucid dreaming!
There were plenty of historically notable days that could have been chosen to celebrate Lucid Dreaming Day. However, we picked April 12th to show our appreciation of the pioneering research by Dr. Keith Hearne who, on April 12th, 1975, was the first to scientifically validate lucid dreaming.

LET'S CELEBRATE IT!!

How shall we celebrate? Any ideas guys?

:fuckyeah::cheers::drink::breakitdown::nytacodance ::hugitout:

I'm open to suggestions! :D

OK. Here's an idea.

Everyone who wants to participate makes an intention to meet up with the Dream Views community and celebrate in the lucid state the night of April 11th/morning of April 12th. Any ideas for a location that would be good for our Dream Views lucid party?

We would have to practice our best techniques beforehand. Do a WBTB or whatever works for you. I might even splurge and take a galantamine ;).

Does this sound like a fun idea? :)

Of course, be ready to report your dream if you have one. :)

Edit: As an alternative, for those who would rather keep things private, you could just make intentions to have your own lucid dream on 4/11-12 and post results if you're successful.

Bonus if you show up to the lucid party in your super-hero form from the Task of the Year. :thumbup:

Even though my lucid dreams are rare, I'll be trying to set an intention and prepare for this tonight. It's a fun idea.

Sounds good!
But, let's make it like month or something? There people won't feel rushed and stuff. For the newbies, They can start working on their Dream Journals and their foundations of lucid dreaming. For lucid dreaming is never easy for anyone. We all dream differently! :D

I’m up for this. Going to try tonight and tomorrow and see what happens. I’m not going to visualise anything as it will be an interesting surprise to see who I’ll meet there and what location it will take place in. Some sort of physical representation of the dream views forum would be cool. Lucidity would be nice but I suppose it’s not essential. We could still join the party in a fun regular dream. I’ll set the intention tonight and WBTB in the morning. Hope to see you all there! 😉

Whelp. I tried to show up to the party early. I'll try again tonight. :)

Yeah sure, sounds good. Plus, time zones would make it different for people anyways.

So, happy lucid dreaming day! This dream is from last year, I had a dream about Dr. Keith Herrne. I think I made a minor mistake on his name.

Today, In one dream, I got a visit from Dr. Keith Herrne as a DC. Nothing screams you are dreaming in the dream, I know. I was lazier to even try to find out. I WAS one of those more private dreams though. His image and his voice from Danial's video probably cause me to have a dream about him. I had a lucid but, it wasn't that one sadly. I had 8 dreams and 1 lucid, last night. Sometimes, my number of dreams may go up but, I would have fewer lucid dreams. That was simply because I wasn't feeling too well to practice it, last night. Mostly laziness.

---

Also, I'm listening to Dr. Herrnes's music that he did in his lucid dream? It sound very epic! It is called "LAMENT FOR A BEAUTIFUL SOUL"
Or it came out of a lucid dream?

Here: https://www.keithhearne.com/musical-opera/lament-for-a-beautiful-soul-3/

(for some reason my links are being weird.) Reality Check!!!

And he is also he is working on a False Waking App.

Happy Lucid dreaming day!

So I attempted to join the lucid dream party this morning but sadly I was not blessed with lucidity though I did have a dream fragment where I was sat at an outdoor pub among others and had a massive jug of beer so maybe I was there after all? Going to try again tonight

Hey there! I'm late to the party, as usual. Happy Lucid Dreaming Day! May you all have lots of lucid dreams tonight! Maybe I can join in, too. :cheeky:

Who said that you're late for the party?! Stay in the present! Welcome! Also as others may agree, lucid dreaming is not an easy thing to do. It takes hard work and patience. There is no magic pill or short cuts for lucid dreaming.

Well. I had many WILDs last night, because I took galantamine. I came across a pool party, but everyone there was a kid. I asked one kid if this was the lucid dreaming party, and she said "You aren't ready for the lucid dreaming party, not for a long time." Me: "Why not? Am I a bad lucid dreamer?" "Yes."

Haha. But I did have a fun time with those WILDs.. even if I did cheat to get lucid ;)

I tried yesterday but wasn't able to have any LDs.

Today, I had a LD but wasn't able to make it to the party. The plan was to use a door to go to Prague (which is my goal at the moment, so I decided to put the party in Prague... it is a good place for a party :) and make it 2in1). Unfortunately, there were no doors, just fields, and trees and a footpath (and one house without doors)! So I went on a quest to find some doors. I found a nice hill with cliffs and views of a big city (not Prague but almost). So I changed my plan and decided to jump and fly but wasn't able to do that either because I woke up abruptly without any warning (I snored or inhaled deeply to clear my nose and it woke me up).

Later, I got lucid again but lost it even more quickly, in 30 seconds, to a FA-style dream.

Take as much time want. There is no real rush. :) Just keep on working on it! :D I'm sure there are plenty of members that can help you with your foundation for your lucid Journey.

Physical thresholds are funny things even in dreams for me, so I personally wouldn't choose a doorway as it might make me forget what I wanted. Just remember that your imagination is potentially the only limiting factor here. You can just as easily intend for a door to appear to take you where you want to go. It doesn't need to make sense and so it doesn't need a house, or even a wall.

And for example, if making it appear directly in front of you were troublesome, you could instead try to intend for it to appear behind you so that when you turn around, it's there. You can problem-solve whichever way you want, after all. :)

Yeah, my wake-me knows this and is quite confident but my dream-me struggles with doubts and is often dream-confused, not really able to think about creative solutions :) My childhood experiences with LDing put me into a position where I am able to have LDs of decent length without major problems with stability but control doesn't come naturally to me, I am more used to following the story than creating it. So I am taking baby steps to build the self-confidence of dream-me. At the moment, I have more control in my semis than in true lucids.
But yes, I need to get more aggressive with the control and with everything I want to do in dreams, otherwise, I get distracted by both my thoughts and doubts and the dream itself.

I spent the 12th celebrating Lucid Dreaming Day by watching Daniel Love's 5-hour episode of the Lucid Portal. Great fun. I managed to become lucid the following night—by noticing that the ground in this misty village was a mirror!—and enjoyed fighting against Doctor Eggman with my superpowers. Did some flying and also spent some time freerunning and parkouring at impossible angles on a row of oddly shaped slot machines parallel to a railway. I felt like a graffiti artist character in a virtual Subway Surfers game!

Great fun as always! :D

CooL!
How did you like Keith Hearne's musical opera, "Lament For A Beautiful Soul"?

Did Doctor Eggman appear as an cartoon or as an live-action?

Beautiful. My wife certainly loved it and found it quite soothing. She's not a lucid dreamer like me—I mean, I can manage at least 5 LDs per month whereas she's lucky to get a false awakening in the same amount of time (which she did this morning and, funnily enough, it involved me bursting into the room to excitedly tell her about a lucid dream I had!) :chuckle:

Oh yeah! Doctor Eggman was like the original cartoon but more life-like and was already in my dream before I became lucid. He was basically a powerful dictator enslaving the villagers. Once I gained lucidity, I taught him a lesson Neo-styled! I knocked the hell out of him and even used a bit of telekinesis to make him drop from the sky and crash into some houses. Dream people below cheered—I felt like a hero!

I need more dreams like these! 😄

I woke up buzzing, I tell you. A good way to start the day! :nodyes:

^ Summerlander? BUZZING when you are waking up? Like a Hypnapomic hallucination?

Having issues with my computer! Err!

My Lucid Last night:

Had a Lucid dream, Keggar at the Ant-Hill! There was a very big turnout. Gab, RelicWreith, and others were there. I was dared by a member to shrink a group of people down because people wanted to take a tour through an Anthill. So I shrunk you guys down and we had a party there. Relic, you appeared as someone with blond hair? You kept looking down at my feet. You guys didn't seem very afraid of the ants that you are the size of a dog. Some of the members wanted to ride on a flying ants. Those are sizes of horses. At one point, I went down a waterslide down a pool below that was really like a drop of dew.

---

Not buzzing in that sense! LOL! :laughtillhurts:

Although mild showers in my head as I gradually woke up were experienced. But I was elated upon awakening.

Did you shrink me in your lucid dream, btw?

Just about everyone here. Yes! You were there but, only in the background.
