Paige's Workbook :)

Nothing special today, just the usual weirdo dreams. :)

I just wanted to log though: I felt quite delighted that I woke up due to excitement yesterday in my lucid dream. Well, I'd rather I didn't wake up, but I realized I don't remember the last time I woke up due to excitement. It's kinda nice to be able to feel that again, to feel one of the basic problems when I first started out. In my opinion, it sort of grounds me, and reminds me that I'm no expert and that I shouldn't forget the essentials! :D

You can always be better ;)

I had two lucids today! :D also, i slept for 12 hours again. :l

I also had a weird dream where 23 people jumped off a bridge and died because a "force" or something made them do it. :l

You are just nonstop! Congratulations... awesome momentum you've got going!

Now I have to decide whether I'm more jealous of your double lucids or your 12 hours of sleep! :bedtime:

:D

Errrrrrr... >.>

I had another two today :D I was so tired and I took a nap. I had a DILD where the dream scene was a medieval castle with different torture rooms. I remember one of them was marked "extreme piercings", though I have no idea what that meant. There were also mechanical birds patrolling the grounds. I hopped onto the back of one of them, but apparently it couldn't hold my weight so we both fell.

The second lucid was a DEILD, and I got to make a DC laugh by telling her a joke:

Me: "Knock knock."
DC: "Who's there?"
Me: "Smell mop."
DC: "Smell mop who?"
Me: "Eww I'm not gonna smell your poo!"

She laughed so hard. Haha.

WOW paigey, give some of that lucid power.congratulations on acheiving that lucid goal, and the medival dream seems to be great.keep on dreaming:dreaming:

OOOP, I forgot to type in here yesterday, the internet went down just as I was about to.

I had a short lucid yesterday. It was so weird, the whole time, I had a feeling it was a dream but kept dismissing it. Finally I saw my friend's face morph, and I had an "AHA! I knew it!' moment. The dream was quite hazy so I yelled "CLARITY!" a few times but it didn't work. I tried putting on imaginary glasses to make me see better but it didn't work either. Then suddenly my eyes started getting droopy and closed little by little. I tried so hard to keep them open but they wouldn't. Finally they closed, and I opened them up right away, only to wake up in real life.

Same old, same old. I did have some really weird vivid musical dreams last night.

Also... Time to think of new monthly lucid goals! :D

Outstanding dreaming this month, Paige! Here's to an excellent November!

Had 3 lucids earlier! They were quite vivid and stable, and lasted a few minutes each. The only sad thing is I totally didn't remember any tasks because I was obsessing over manipulating the elements. I'm gonna write something about it in the snippets thread.

Also, I gotta type in my personal tasks later. Still thinking about them, along with the progress report for the last month.

EDIT: i forgot to mention I have a fever, so that could be a huge factor, since I get bunches of lucids when I get sick. :)

Had another lucid today! :D

It was interesting because I got lucid because of a reality check. I mean awareness pointed me in the direction but the reality check gave me the extra push. I was at my old school, and it was a really vivid dream. I suddenly though "hmm I'm gonna reality check now" and so I plugged my nose and I could barely breathe. At first I thought it was because I had a cold and stuffy nose irl, but I did it again and this time it hit me. Too bad I didn't remember the tasks again though. I spent all my lucid time doing some waterbending moves I've been meaning to try out.

So I just thought of putting it on here, so you all can see what I mean when I talk about waterbending stuff. This is essentially what I do in my lucids:

dats so sexy... :evil:

Hi everyone, it's been a few days since my last update. I've been caught up with school starting again. I have some awesome news though! On the 10th of November, I had my 100th lucid since joining!! :party:

It was an OBE-type lucid where I had a false awakening, got lucid, and flew out of my dream body.

More great news! I had 3 lucids yesterday on my nap. These were quite weird because the dream kept repeating at the starting point, and I got lucid each time. Because of the successive lucidity, it was easier to remember the tasks. So i got to do one of the basic and one of the advanced tasks of the month. Since I haven't gone online, I just wrote them on my DJ, which I'm gonna copy paste in a bit.

I also made my new monthly goals:

Spoiler for November Lucid Goals:

•Morph into an animal
•Fly with angel wings (already done this but I wanna do it again)
•Complete any of the TOTM
•Make something grow (and watch it doing so)
•Turn the dream into cartoon-mode
•Summon myself
•Have 10 lucids

Lucid count so far: 8

100 lucids!! Congratulations!

For you, there can be no other way to celebrate. Behold:

:party: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :party:

I actually don't know much about your pre-DreamViews lucid dreaming career. Were you already into it when you joined or still a relative neophyte?

I remember having a lot of lucid dreams since I was a kid, I just never pursued it, nor did I know what it was. They were usually about me having superpowers and then I'd realize it's a dream. I've always had a somewhat easier time recalling my dreams, because they were usually very vivid. However, it didn't help that my family always shunned me whenever I'd talk about my dreams and how insane they were. :(

I was looking for stuff about dream control and hypnagogic imagery, and I eventually saw some lucid dreaming vids on youtube, which eventually led me here. Since then, I read and tried to learn as much as I could. I've never consistently pursued any other hobby as much as I have with lucid dreaming. It makes me really happy, so I don't think I'll ever really stop. Haha. Cheers!

That's great. I'm so glad to hear that you didn't let yourself be driven away from your natural abilities or let anyone convince you to cram your light under a basket.

I imagine that virtually all of us are familiar with how hard it is to get across the lucid dreaming concept to anyone who's not familiar with it. It's just so far outside of most people's range of experience that they can't understand it. Having never experienced an LD of any kind until earlier this year, I would have been one of those people that just wouldn't have fully grasped it.

I know what you mean about LDing being sort of the ultimate hobby. There are many things that I enjoy doing but nothing has exposed me to a more interesting, enjoyable, or mind-expanding side of life than lucid dreaming.

I know exactly what you mean -- enjoy the many lucid dreams ahead of you!

I had 3 lucids this morning! I unintentionally woke up at dawn to charge my ipad which I was gonna bring to school in the morning. I was up for a few minutes, and that must've served as a miniWBTB. I did some mantras as I was falling back asleep, like I always do. Then I had the lucids :D

I'm probably not gonna type them up because one was short and uneventful, and another one was sexual :lol: The third was the cool one but I wrote it down in my dialect and it's quite complicated to explain and translate into English.

I wrote the summary in the snippets thread. Basically I summoned a dragon, made it turn purple, made its wings grow really big, then I rode it and flew around over my town.

It was really awesome, though a part of me is a bit dismayed because I have been planning to TURN INTO a dragon, but for some reason, all I could remember was to ride one. Hehe. Oh well, at least I got to ride a purple dragon! (And my friends brag about riding a Harley Davidson! SUCK ON THIS! )

Paige!! Three lucids! I am most impressed. :rockon:

Turning into a dragon is cool but I don't know, there's something about riding a dragon that I find so awesome. I just love the idea. That's been on my list almost since I started LDing, but I still haven't achieved it. I tell you, if I could hire you to achieve stuff off of my lucid to-do list I'd be much farther along. :) I think you have done more of it than I have.

So were all three of these DILDs? Any WILDs or dream chains thrown in there?

Yep, they were all DILDs. It was a bit challenging to remember which one came first because I always woke up after each one and fell right back asleep, so I did this thing where after every lucid, I'd tap a certain finger on my bed. I use different fingers for different lucids I wake up from. I dunno why, but when I finally wake up and I have a hard time remembering, I tap a certain finger and they come out slowly from my memory as if the tapping associates itself with the memory. It's quite weird. :D

Congratulations on the 100th lucid paigy, it must of been a great experience remembering your lucid dreaming quest, and the amazing stuff you did.
Taping a certain finger foreach certain LD to remember them, it seems brilliant§!I might actually try it out.
keep on dreaming!

I had 4 lucids today! Not sure what triggered it, but I had a bunch of false awakenings. I told myself in the second one that I would reality check in the next dream, and weirdly, I remembered and got lucid. The first and last lucid were uneventful, and I didn't have control. The second one was pretty cool, I went on a chasing scene wih Wolverine, and I made myself invisible and phase through the trees. The third one was.. sexual :|

i need to find a way to remember my goals, I've been having trouble remembering them lately despie my mantras which have worked so well in the past. Any advice? :)

Holy crap that's awesome! But our resident Dream Yogini is asking for advice? Wuuuuut? LOL I'm kidding. You just seems to have sooooo many LDs. Anyway, I have been having a hard time remembering things myself. But here's a thought, maybe you shouldn't always be concerned with goals. Maybe sometimes it is better to find out what the dream wants to tell you. Maybe I'm full of shit as well. Just a thought. :D

LOOOOL the last two sentences.

But you know what, that might be a really great idea! I shall not think of goals for the next few days and just go with the dream. I'll see how it goes. Thanks Xanous! And hahaha Dream Yogini WUUUUT :P

As always, paigy is number one with lucids.keep up the good work.*

Wow! Congratulations on taking down four LDs in one morning. I don't know what kind of roll you've gotten on here. Whatever it is, I hope it's contagious!

Please take this! You've earned it: :banana:

What generally works for me with goals is spending some time during the day and particularly before bed visualizing the approach I expect to take with the task. When you play it out in daydream / dream incubation, I've found that it's a lot more likely to stick in your head and reoccur to you once you reach lucidity. In addition, when I'm daydreaming the scene, I include the (silent) mantra "I'm dreaming". This seems to tie everything together pretty well and I usually remember what I'm supposed to be doing.

Of course, this means picking just one main goal to pursue and perhaps a backup goal that you just sort of keep in mind without incubating / daydreaming.

Even if there weren't a task of the month, I always like to keep a goal of some sort in mind. I can sometimes run into issues where I lose focus or get obsessed with nonsense in an LD. Having a definite goal helps light a fire under my ass and make me do something. Otherwise I end up yammering endlessly to some DC until the dream ends.

And now I have a simple question for you. How do I have four freakin lucid dreams in one morning??
