Goals:
- Fly.
- Go up to a hot guy, kiss him, then run away.
- Grow wings.

- Do something inappropriate to someone then run away.
- Set a bad guy on fire with pyrokinesis.
- Talk to a DC, say something random.
- Run at top speeds.

Day 2. Monday: FRAGMENT.
I can only remember a tour guide touring us through a park in our area I already know. Was too lazy to get up for WBTB.

Nice goals you got there Are they a list of goals you want to complete over a long period of time? Having many goals in mind at the same time can be confusing. I find that having more than two makes me forget them and actually have trouble with motivation. I suggest you stick to one or two that you visualize on. Don't worry about the WBTB, I find way too often these days that I'm too lazy to get out of bed when I should

Yea, they're short term. Most of them are, anyway. Those are some I want to do overall, but I'll pick a few and use those.

Goals:
- Fly
- Run at top speeds.

Day 3. Tuesday:
WBTB at 4 hours after sleep because I have to get up early.

After WBTB: No recall.

Morning: (FRAGMENT) I remember seeing a "black screen", and I was playing a Sims 3 game. In order to see the game again, I had to "repicture" by doing something.
(FRAGMENT) I also had another fragmented dream where I was watching a TV show very similar to Big Time Rush, and my mom said randomly, "Their music sounds all the same."

Hello Sydney! I realize i am a little late but welcome to the class!

Day 4. Wednesday:

Of course my alarm for WBTB went off, and I didn't get up.
I did have a small dream though, and I'm getting my recall back!
Here it is from my DJ:

"I remember being at my mom's house. I was in my old room. All of my mom's dogs (she had five of them) were in my room playing.
I remember my mom coming and telling me that my cousin? was still sick with the stomach flu. She was at our house at the time.

So I went outside to find myself in a hotel's parking lot. (I was at this hotel on the beach a couple of weeks ago) I didn't think anything about it.

I went back into my room to find out that the dogs had taken my bed apart and dragged it out of the room! My sheets and comforter were gone, my egg crate, and my matress! The bottom of the bed was torn up and still sitting there. On my rug, it looked like there was a yellow stain of some sort on it. Lol."

Lol, those dogs must've been organized Cool dream sydney! Is the hotel on the beach a dreamsign for you? Just wondering because it is for me, and has been since i was quite little

Good job on getting your recall back Keep trying and it'll go up even more. Good luck getting lucid!

I THINK I HAD MY FIRST WILD OR AN FA.

You can go here (http://www.dreamviews.com/f79/not-su...ild-fa-120522/) to see the whole story.
I'll probably repost it here later.
But here's my WILD/FA:

I was in my room. I sat up in bed and RCed, just to make sure that it was a dream. It was! I tried not to get too excited. My room was dark (since it was nighttime), and I tried to "turn on" the lights. I yelled, "Light!" Didn't work. I closed my eyes, pointed at the light, and said, "Light!" Still didn't work. So I gave up, and walked around in the dark. As I walked down my living room stairs, I saw these weird bomb-omb looking animal things. They were different colors. I assumed that my mom made them.

Where my kitchen was, there was a tropical bar; and in front of that were little pools of clear water, with candles and lily pads and flowers on top of the water. It was pretty. I saw my sister and told her that I was dreaming, but she didn't think anything about it. I walked into the little bar place and tried to summon.. guess who.. Taylor Lautner.

I looked up at him. He was ugly. So I tried again. This time I closed my eyes and thought of his face, then summoned him. He was just a tad cuter this time; but still not good looking. So, I summoned a chocolate bar instead, which kind of looked like Hershey's, but had a yellow wrapper.

I looked at the words and entertained myself by looking back and looking at it again. I eventually ended up throwing the chocolate bar away for some reason Lol. My mom was outside, and she was talking with my friend's Aunt. They looked a ton alike, except she had longer hair than my friend.

I wanted to fly out in the same spot; which I noticed we were on our church's sidewalk. The Aunt stood by me and yelled, "You can do it!" So I ran, closed my eyes, and jumped. I felt gravity flip me over in the air as I hovered. It was awesome. I didn't open my eyes which was a bummer.

Somehow, I had flown back into my own bed. Or transported there. My "dream" bed that is. I looked out my window, to see lights in a circle like fireworks, and I wanted so bad to go out there. I was thinking of breaking through my window, but I got sleepy.. and lost some of my lucidity. I sat there thinking about it and eventually "fell asleep" and found myself awake in my real bed.

I just replied to your thread thinking that was it, but wow! That's one cool LD you had Congrats! You're getting * for interacting with the enviroment. Also which superpower do you want to count? Summoning or Flying? Either way, this week's * for you. Good job once again Sydney

Wow thanks! I should really start putting the tasks in my threads from now on; or I'll keep forgetting.

I had 2 dreams and 1 fragment last night.
My recall is improving bit by bit.

Dream 1: I'm an Acrobat!

I was in this sort of garden place. My mom and my sister were there with me. There was an awning that I had to climb up a ladder to, and I jumped on it. My mom yelled from below, "Look up on the top! Do you see feet?" I jumped up. They looked like fake feet sticking out from under a heavy block of something. "Yea!" I yelled.

I realized later, that this was a person.

Anyways, my mom and Samantha joined me at the top of this "mountain" of bouncy "awnings". There was a bathroom at the top, with no back wall. The janitor was cleaning the bathroom while we were there.

My mom told me to jump down and do a somersault off of an awning. I didn't really oblige; she pushed me, and I fell and jumped off of an awning, only to get a "carpet burn" on my face as I slid down one, right by the man who got squished with his feet poking out. I looked up. I was still alive. I looked to my right toward the squished man, and I saw his foot barely tapping, and he had a drink beside him. Lol.

Dream 2: With the Weasley Twins and Harry

So me, Fred and George Weasley, along with Harry, were running away from someone. I think that it was guards we were running away from. Fred had a piece of paper in his hand. We stopped suddenly. He read a spell that would make a "toy" horse appear. I think it was something like, "Trojan Horse" or something. I looked closely at his ear. He had 2 pen marks on it.

The toy horse appeared under him. The dream gave me a close up look at the piece of paper. I saw "Trojan Horse", and some other things. After the horse appeared, he yelled something that made us evaporate.
I can't remember where we evaporated to.

Dream 3: (Fragment) Helping Out an Old Lady

This dream was like in 3rd person mode, because "I" was looking down on it like a video game almost.
I had to go over to this building to help an old lady out. She needed protection, and I had to provide her a spell for that. I can't remember what spell I gave her, but I shot a magical arrow at her which gave her a power (maybe the power of 100% accuracy?). Lol.

P.S., If it helps, I'm drinking a cup of apple juice every night before I go to bed. Not only to make my dreams more vivid and recallable, but also to help me wake up in my REM for WBTB.

Lol, nice dreams sydney... Magic themed, always cool .

Good luck with your WBTB's

Thanks!

Tried WBTB and WILD again last night. No success. I think I fell asleep inbetween WILD.. so I think I need to work on my focus; and stay up a bit more during WBTB.

Anyways, here's my one and only dream from last night:

The dream opens showing a lady, who has just "bumped" into an awesome car. She is standing by the wreckage, with her very old blue truck. This all took place in a grocery store parking lot. I kind of remember the dialogue. She faces "us" watching TV, and talks about how she wishes she could drive the car she just wrecked. So that, she would'nt get in trouble and she would have a nice car. She murmurs, "Please.." in a whiny sort of way.

Then the woman drives off. I'm thinking that that was a commercial on car insurance.

Somehow, my sister and I appeared on the set. The nice, red car was gone, only to leave a red four wheeler in its place. I drove it around, and figured out the brakes didn't work very well. So I parked it just a few feet away from where it originally was found. To my left was a cherry red Ferrari. I pointed at the logo and told my sister. But it wasn't the Ferarri sign, it was a sign like a flag; and I thought that it stood for "F"; in the dream. This ferarri looked kind of cheap looking, actually; once I was up close.

That was cool sydney... Was the first part in like 3rd person or were you even there?
Interesting anyway
Best of luck for the lucidness tonight!!

Thanks nito!
Yea, I don't think I was there "yet"
You too!

No success with WBTB/WILD last night. Didn't remember any dreams, either. It sorta happened where I didn't remember any dreams before the WBTB; (the 6 hours I had slept) which also happened the night before. But last night, here's how my process went.

Woke up at 4:10 a.m. No dreams recalled.
Went to the bathroom, drank the rest of my apple juice, RCed once, looked at my phone a couple of times to check the time as an RC. Then I turned on the lamp (probably a mistake, the phone was probably too) to kind of "wake up" my mind just a bit.
So I layed down on my back, hands on my stomach (not folded). I counted my breaths from 1-10 over and over (Link: http://www.dreamviews.com/f79/i-need...-wilds-120605/); focusing on a body part each second. (Kinda thought of that focusing on the body part to relax thing in the last minute) I did this until my body got numb enough to where it couldn't really relax anymore. Then, my foot started to ache (it was pointed upward under the covers). It ached so bad, I really wanted to move it. So I started focusing on sound again, and noticed that my mind was pretty clear, and random thoughts weren't popping up every second. But then.. it started getting harder and harder to stay awake. Now the random thoughts started coming. By my guess it had probably been about 40 minutes since I had first layed down. The mind got so clouded with thoughts that I would forget what number and body part I was on, and would have to start over (I redid this again to take my mind off of my aching foot). After another 20 minutes or so, my body was at its most relaxed (I think). I couldn't relax it anymore. So I just layed there, focusing on sound again. After a while, nothing was happening. No-thing. I was completely relaxed, but why wasn't I experiencing the early onset of SP?
By then, it had been around 25 minutes since I had been completely relaxed. My mouth had been open the whole time.. and suddenly, I swallowed. Not once, but 6 times in quick succession. I freaked out. I knew I wouldn't be able to get back into the state I was in; even though my body was still relaxed. My alarm was about to go off anyways, so I just gave up.

Time attempting: 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Anyone know why I wasn't able to enter; even though being that relaxed? What should I do in order to enter?

Maybe you were focusing too hard sydney.... you wanna focus just enough to keep you conscious!
(i suck at WILDS anyway but im getting there)
This morning i got all the way into SP then got scared shitless by some demonic laughter.... Stupid auditory hallucinations!!
Ima try again tonight!

Good luck anyway!

Hahaha! I know, that's what I'm afraid of the most!
Thanks, and good luck!
