Felicity's workbook :3

I have fantastic dream recall already. I remembered four dreams last night. I had one lucid dream about a week ago which probably lasted the best part of twenty seconds. That's my only lucid dream ever, though. All I managed to do was grab a wall to stabilize then do a reality check, start to think I was sleepwalking and wake up. I really want to get better, though! I look forward to learning!!!!!

Welcome to class! So many new people joining, wonderful

Which technique did you use to get lucid? Don't worry if your first couple of lucids are short, they'll get longer the more you have. When you stabilize just do it as casually as you can. You want to do it because you don't want to wake up, but you can't think like that. Paying attention to the fact that you're dreaming will only make you wake up. Tricky I know, but you'll get the hang of it one day

The current tasks we're doing can be found here: http://www.dreamviews.com/f136/begin...thread-115806/

Just choose one or two and see if you can achieve them. Visualizing and really longing to achieve them will help you out alot. The recall tasks should be piece of cake for you. If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask!

Hi Matte, hey Nito

I had been trying to be more aware of everything, all day long. I'm not quite sure what made me lucid though, it seemed kinda random actually. So yeah, a DILD I think

I looked at the tasks already, and some of the previous chats that you had. I think being excited about becoming lucid made me restless and probably accidentally set me up for the normal task, the REM rebound... Hehe

I'm usually very strict with bedtimes and stuff but I think I'm going to try for a WILD tonight, too

thanks for welcoming me :3 -Felicity

**FelicityPotter** · 10-29-2011 08:28 AM

Oh wow!!!!! Last night I went to bed at 9 30. I guessed it might take me up to 15 minutes to fall asleep, and set the alarm for 2 15 :3 I woke up, as ever, ten minutes before the alarm ... But I stayed in bed until it went off properly. In the time between waking up and my alarm going off, I managed to have a.short dream. I just realised now, in the morning, that I probably didn't need to wake for long. I noted down that dream and did a rubic cube for twenty minutes. I went back to bed, and to keep my mind from wandering I repeated in my head, 'im lucid'. After about fifteen minutes my arm began to go numb. I waited a minute to see iron the feeling would spread but it didn't. I turned onto my back and the numbness spread, then i had a floaty sensation that I occasionally experience when I go to bed,, tired. Unlike the other times, it got faster and I also heard a loud buzzing noise. I think i would have done it, but I was breathing fast and I was sorta panicky so i decided I was content with that.

So, I was extremely surprised when i actually had a lucid dream!!! Maybe it was because I was all excited about it and ready to put my ld count up to 2. I was walking through the town center when I became lucid. It seemed random. I dont recall doing an RC. I thought about keeping my mind in the dream, and nremembered that some people spin to stabilize. After the spin, I thought that before the spin, I was trying to teleport, and that became my priority. After the first stabilization spin I was still in town. After my first teleport spin, I was at a holiday resort with swimming pools. I jumped into the water, feeling extra weight and went straight through the bottom of the pool, to land at somebody else's house. They were eating Easter eggs but I didn't think to try any. I went to the computer to see if it did anything special and just ended up on my computer at home... Think I got too absorbed in the computer to remember where I was. Same thing happened again, but this time I was at dad's house. I drew a pikachu on the computer and grabbed it from the screen. Does that count as.summoning? The pikachu attacked me and I woke to find that it was only half an hour since I gave up my WILD attempt!!!

Just a goal of mine I thought of a few days ago... If you lay a sheet of paper flat on a white table, you can't really see it. If you grab two points and push them together the paper rises and you can pull it off. If I find myself dreaming and remembering to, I will find a flat surface and summon a sheet of paper of the same colour from the flat surface.

that wild was very close! just keep the strange things continuing, you dont't have to fear anything. when i wilded, the sensations stopped at some point and i just had to get up in the dream.

congrats for doing the teleportation task!

**FelicityPotter** · 10-29-2011 10:03 PM

Oh! Thanks for the help

Another thing, when I first become lucid, my body becomes heavy and I feel like it would be best to stay still. In my first lucid, I thought my limbs were so heavy that i must have been moving in my sleep. In my second lucid, the feeling was gone after I stabilized. That might take a little getting used to ^-^'

**FelicityPotter** · 10-30-2011 11:37 AM

I was planning on sleeping normally last night, but I woke up after a dream 4 and a half hours after I got into bed. I thought, I might as well do a wbtb and try to WILD again. This time, my body went numb but even after half an hour I didnt feel anything special. I then got an itch and decided to scratch it :3 It's a nice feeling, moving after you've gone numb ^-^ I had a long dream, in which i recall meeting my three 'guardian angels' ... I asked them for their names, and they told me. I started to write them down and they said, 'you're dreaming! There's no way you're going to take that back home with you.'
To which I replied, 'I know that. But I remember things if I write them down.'

Um... Lucid or non-lucid??

I was just reading through your journal I saw this. Very interesting and almost identical to what I experienced. I read something saying that if you still find it difficult to move in your dream roll out of bed (if you have a FA) or something similar. So thats how I got rid of my "Heaviness" in my 2nd (full on) LD experience which was 2 nights ago. I can tell things are just starting to get interesting, I cant wait to develop this more.

**Matte87** · 10-30-2011 07:40 PM

Nice lucid Felicity!

Yeah that's summoning alright, but the summoning task was: "Summon something extraordinary." You will get a star for teleporting though

Sounds like you can master WILD if you try. Once you start to hear auditory hallucinations you're pretty close. That last dream doesn't really sound like a lucid, but maybe. Depends on if you really knew you were dreaming. Then you can count it. Keep on dreaming!

**FelicityPotter** · 10-30-2011 10:01 PM

I actually only read through the normal and basic tasks and was aiming to just do the basic ones for this week :3 if I summon a magical wand would that count? :3 hehehe!

**FelicityPotter** · 10-31-2011 08:53 AM

No lucids last night. I probably should have noted down the dreams I had sooner because I hardly remember them.

**Matte87** · 10-31-2011 05:40 PM

Ah too bad. Nah not really. Unless it was the ultimate wand from Harry Potter I guess

Extraordinary, like a DG, a dragon or spirit. Perhaps an amazing vehicle or a city. It's up to you really but it has to be something that'll almost blow your mind when you do it.

**FelicityPotter** · 10-31-2011 09:38 PM

So imagine something being there, is that a good method to use? heh, I'm just going to use DILD tonight. School tomorrow and tired anyway... :3

**Matte87** · 11-01-2011 06:18 PM

That's kinda hard to do actually. I would suggest using passive control when summoning things. Like expecting them to be behind a door, in a box or behind the corner. Even behind you works quite well

Good luck on your DILD!

**FelicityPotter** · 11-02-2011 08:08 AM

I've been really tired the last few days, so i stopped jotting down my dream when i wake up. So everything has been going pretty badly. I think I'm gonna pick it up again properly this weekend, when I will be feeling more able. :3

**FelicityPotter** · 11-04-2011 08:31 AM

Without meaning to, I had a lucid last night. But I didn't write it down … I tried to control the elements but from What I can remember, it failed epiccally. I also had a really depressing dream. I met a guy, then he moved.

**Matte87** · 11-04-2011 12:49 PM

Nice! Progress atleast

You should definitely write down what you remember of it and put your LD count to 3 unless it was at 1 before. Good job!

**FelicityPotter** · 11-04-2011 05:51 PM

Yay!!!!

I have done now :3 Well, it's the weekend again. I'm going to write down what I remember tonight, and depending on how tired I am tomorrow I might try to do another WBTB. I want to make sure I'm not too tired next week, or I'm going to miss out on even more dreams, and we dont want that.... Thank you for all your help so far!!! :3

**Matte87** · 11-05-2011 07:32 PM

Too bed you timed out of chat, but if you want to, then feel free to look for me and Nito in your next LD. I'll be calling out for you guys tonight. And you're welcome

**FelicityPotter** · 11-05-2011 08:36 PM

I'll be sure to ask you for help on the tasks! Would asking you to summon something extraordinary and watch you summon it count as me summoning something? Hehehe!

**FelicityPotter** · 11-06-2011 10:24 AM

I was on bed with my Nan last night. She got up to to to the toilet at four and a half hours so I followed her and attempted a WILD. It was going really well, then I just couldn't stand how slowly I was becoming numb so I moved. It was tickling me so much. When I woke up, I remembered being lucid but my Nan was laying on my notepad O.o so I couldn't noted down my dream. I had a few more as well but I can't remember What happened. All I can do now is finish writing out yesterday's dream … Heh!

**Matte87** · 11-06-2011 12:11 PM

Aw too bad! Even though you can't recall much of it, getting lucid more often is a great sign. Keep it up! Also, hmmm. The advanced task doesn't specify if it's passive or active control. Aslong as you make it happen. So I guess yeah

**FelicityPotter** · 11-06-2011 06:08 PM

I decided not to call dreams lucid unless I remember enough detail, and for last night I remembered so little anyway I decided it might just have been me thinking about being lucid too hard. I often get confused if I tell myself something and I know it's not true. Besides, it gives me motivation to write dreams down :3

**FelicityPotter** · 11-08-2011 10:25 PM

New lucid goals … Try the fast transition that lemon drops put a link to, summon paper and people, so that they can summon something super extraordinary for me because I have no good ideas, eat/ drink, get hit by something in midair and meet Soya again :3 Oh, and give Andy a piece of my mind.
