Thread: LudoSiren's Workbook

LOL he turned into an octupus! That dream certainly was random good job getting your recall up!

@mmoritz80 there is no workshop, we just all keep our progress in our workbooks and help each other out, giving ideas and suggestions. We also have a task club and chat once a week on thursdays. feel free to make a workbook, i have definitely gotten better at ld since i joined, i would definitely recomend it. Matte87 is in charge of the class and an expert lder, he can tell you more

Good work with the recall ludo!
Ive got an entry i need to type up, surprise surprise, im being lazy again xD.

Keep it up

Ah too bad you didn't get the 5 dream task done, but another week of focusing on recall is probably going to favor you Very good on keeping it up like this, dedication leads to success! Aw thanks Hash

mmoritz: Feel free to start a workbook! Even if you know everything about lucid dreaming, the idea with the taskclub is to stay motivated and have a bit of fun meanwhile. Plus everyone is more than friendly, evil and grumpy people get kicked out asap

Thanks Matte, I was certainly close! And it isn't like I didn't get anything done with this work! I hope by the end of this second week that I will have accomplished this goal. It wwould be fantastic to finally get on the road to lucid journeying!
Thanks everyone for the support! I hope to be joining you all with the actual tasks soon XD
@nito: Maybe try forcing organization? It helps to keep from laziness.

WEEK 0

Day 8

Well, I'm very foggy on whether I made progress last night or not. I slept so heavily and so soundly, In could only shallowly awake from my WBTB- enough to listen to some Dream Recall Subliminal messaging I put on briefly before falling back in....I was so sleepy, I couldn't even manage to think of my mantra or to focus on hypno-images and sounds! However, I remember a dream I began to set up. It started as pure audio that carried itself, and my mind filled in fuzzy pictures. I was aware it wasn't real, and it wasn't nearly as vivd as a normal dream for me....so this is why I'm sort of shaky on it. I may write it in the dream journal anyway though, just in case.

[ ] Increase Dream-Recall to atleast 5 dreams a week.

Wow that dream was pretty intense! That is fucking awesome you remember your past lives, or one anyway, i have been trying to get access to my soul memories but no luck so far. How did you get access to these memories, if you dont mind me asking? Akashic records? I would love to successfully ap and get to the akashic but i have heard there are easier ways and i have yet to successfully ap.

To be honest, being a medium (to an extent...I'm still perfecting.) makes it marginally easier. I have a pair of ghosts that followed me from past lives and filled me in. Otherwise, the memories come up from mutual memory share (friends of mine share memories which trigger mine, as often you see the same people life to life) or from just random memory triggers. The weirdest one I got was from watching the Old English episode of family guy! essentially, you should keep your mind open and wide and the memories will come. Look at natural talents, abilities, or things that seem familiar that shouldn't.
The only person I know personally who accessed the akashic records is my boyfriend. He honestly at one point stumbled in by accident, and the other day he MILD'd his way in through a lucid dream. You could certainly try that!

Wow that is awesome, thanks so much for sharing and for the tips! Thats interesting, that we often encounter people from past lives, ive often wondered if i knew my sister in a past life. Well hopefully as i continue to open up and grow, these memories will come to me as well. Thanks again!

Thats really cool about your bf, I have heard of people astral projecting directly from a dream before, could be one of the easiest ways, ill have to give it a try sometime.

Well, I can't stay long and talk. I didn't have time to post this morning or after school as I had well, school and then I had to babysit. Last night, I had a dream, but no progress,. However, I joined Choi's dream project and hope that her excercises may assist me.

Aw too bad Ludo! I have faith in you recalling atleast one dream tomorrow. Good luck!

Yes, I wish you luck as well, and I think I might have a little trick that might help you with recall, but I have to test it out some more. Anyways Hope you remember some more dreams soon and happy lucid dreaming!

Week 0

Day 10

Well, my progress wasn't substantial with the study. It DID get me to look more at things, but not enough to increase recall much or to induce lucidity. I am to try the same procedure tonight according to Choi's study, so I will see if it helps at all. For now, things are pretty stagnant, but that isn't so bad. I have begun recalling full dreams, foggy or otherwise, so that is certainly some progress! With time, I feel it will continue to develop and by the end of this 2-week period (the 14th) I will hopefully have found or be well on the way to finding a lucid technique that will work well enoough for me! That is what I hope to accomplish with Choi's study.

I would be very interested in trying your technique, Crow! I would be very happy if you shared with me whenever you were ready to!

Ludo you seem like a MILD kinda person to me actually. You're dedicated and is pretty spiritual from what I've read. What I did in the beginning was to meditate alot and visualize before bed. When you clear your mind before bed, recall is said to go up. It's a technique that works great for me, and whenever I really want to get lucid now, I just visualize and do mantras and I'm lucid. That combined with WBTB, if you can fall asleep quickly after waking up and staying up, it's a killer combo.

Also nice on getting your goal done! What an awesome dream haha, clown zombies.

Your brave ludo, clowns and zombies are two of my biggest fear. Think i'd die in my sleep if my dreams combined the two! :O

Nice work on your recall, looks like people are getting it back, yay!

Nice job defeating that horde of clown zombies

@Matte: I think you may be right. I think I need to keep a small coffee shot next to my bed though, because often for WBTB I can't maintain an awake enough state to begin the mantra! I will try to and then get ever so lazy and fall back to sleep XD I will, however, try it again.
@Nito: I'm only brave in my dreams XD Reason being, I've always dreamed of being a hero!
@Hashmash: Thanks I do my best.

Week 0

Day 13

I have definately missed a few days over the weekend! A close friend of mine, apparently, needed me there for her over the weekend. (Though she seemed okay. She was distressed because her long-distance boyfriend lost his phone service for the next month. They are on the phone 24/7, so for her this is quite the change.) Well, not much occured over the weekend. I had a couple dreams. One over the weekend I didn't already account for, and then one last night. I will record them in a double-block in my DJ and will begin MILDing as Matte recommended. However, I will also remain in Choi's experiment, being currently on Day 4 of the excercises.

Day 14

Well, tomarrow is my very last day for Week 0....And disappointingly, I haven't quite actively achieved Lucidity nor have I tested out many techniques. I didn't even recall my dream last night! However, I have officially decided what technique to pursue: WBTB-MILD. On the night of the 14th I will begin my work on Week 1 and hope I will do well!

Week 0

Final Day

Well, today was the official last day of Week 0 for me. Tomorrow, I will leap into Week 1. I'm hoping all will be okay, and will definately get crackin' to sharpen my skills! I believe my recall dry-spell is probably due to the fact I threw myself out of schedule- and therefore everything out of whack. However, it is recovering and I believed in no-time I will be recallin' like no other! Wish me luck!

Good job Ludo Have a great week 1!

Good job! 2 more dreams than you aimed for, that's great progress Believe in yourself when you intend to get lucid, and visualize the tasks you've set up alot. Like I use to say, get those butterflies fluttering Attend chat if you can tomorrow, it'll be nice to have suggestions from more people on which tasks we're going to have for the next two weeks. Keep on dreaming!

Good luck ludo!
