This morning my alarm clock was broken and I was rushing for school, I didn't have time to lay and think about my dreams. Thus, I couldn't recall anything, not even a fragment :'(

It happens paige :hug:
This morning I recalled 4 lengthy dreams.
They were generally about:
1. The murder of 3 teenagers
2. IRC/DV people (Litost and Cookieh)
3. My chemistry teacher going bald (lol)
4. Some action scene with my friends. And waterbending!
At first I thought that the fourth dream was a short lucid because I knew I was controlling my actions, but upon further reflection, I realized that even though I knew what I was doing, there wasn't really a moment where I thought it was actually a dream. :3
Oooh, and also, I just realized that I started getting into lucid dreaming 2 months ago today! Which is probably nothing compared to the years and years everyone else has done. But I'm proud of myself :') Lucid dreaming is the only thing I have really pursued among the many things I'm interested in. HUZZAH!
:banana:
Still progress though. I remember Reece referencing "control without actual lucidity" in one of his Layer videos. I can't remember which one, possibly 0 major. I've had dreams like that too, that finally led up to lucid dreams soon after. So I believe you're still on the right track.Quote:

It started with a vivid dream about me running away from home, eventually (somehow), I reached the mall. I realized it was a dream right away because the stores had weird neon and dizzying colors (malls are one of my dream signs), and the atmosphere was also a bit off. I noseplugged, I could breathe. I snapped my fingers, and there was a loud snap in my ears, then the visuals improved (this trick is still experimental). Then I poked my fingers through my hand. However, no matter how I push, they wouldn't go through. I tried imagining them but they still wouldn't go through. At this time, I was still pretty sure it was a dream, and I remember thinking "crap, this RC won't work for me anymore".
There were people eating nearby, and I started blowing up their food with my mind. (FUN!) Then I started losing lucidity when I noticed the dream scene objects started to morph. I stared at a bench that wasn't morphing yet, and I recreated the previous dream scene based from it. To my amazement, it worked, and I started regaining lucidity. I was thinking of flying around, but then I kinda woke up, and found myself in SP. I heard loud crashing and banging sounds. I got out of it in about 20 seconds.
Woot, this was the first time I tried the "recreating the dream scene" thing so I was quite happy it worked :3
Congrats on the lucid dream Paige! And what a great demonstration of control. Your SP sounded creepy, I've heard all kinds of sounds during SP, from buzzing, to loud horrible noises. At least you got out of it without having to wait too long. I also share the fact that the finger/palm thing stopped working for me. But for me it was a mental hang-up, because it grossed me out so badly the few times I did it.
Ohhh! Same thing happened to me the first few times I tried the poking thing in my dreams. I could see and feel my finger go through the skin of my palm and out the back. Eueeeugh x) And thanks by the way :)Quote:

I set my alarm for 2 hours, hoping I'd get another lucid if I WBTB'ed like yesterday. Instead, they occurred before I could wake up for it. Also, Opheliablue was in my non-lucid false awakening! It was after the lucids, right before I woke up. :3
I wrote my lucids in my DJ in two parts, because they were connected but somehow with different storylines. It was also cool because when I woke up, I could remember where one dream ended and the other began -- something I'd never done before since my dreams just sort of get mixed and morphed.
1st - Mr. Anubis
2nd - Shikaka! Ace Ventura!
Your lucid dreams are so hilarious.
Sucks that the egyptian dog thing was chasing you around. That's so mean.
Remembered 3 non-lucids today :) Didn't do much last night, I slept as soon as my head hit the pillow XD
That is all. *bow*
A well deserved night's sleep.
Last night, I didn't get to do much as well. I had a huge headache and I had a cold so I drifted off right away. I did remember 10 different dreams/fragments, and more than half of them were scary D:
Lol. :banana:
Tomorrow's my last day of school so AWWWYEAAAA more time for lucids!! :)
Remembered 6 dreams/fragments from last night.
Also remembered 3 dreams from my afternoon nap. Guess what? No lucid, but there was a lot of waterbending!! =))))
There was also an oracle lady telling me I was supposed to be an airbender, and that I should "do what needs to be done". O.o creepy
Hmmpf well...
3 lucid experiences this week :)
And WOW has it really been a month already?!?! Thank you Professors OpheliaBlue and fOrceez! And classmates. For everything. And stuff.
Don't know if I'd have the same enthusiasm and hope and commitment to pursue lucid dreaming if I hadn't been part of this class :D Thank you goyyysss :')
AND NOW WE SHALL HAVE A PARTY. WITH CONFETTI. AND BANANAS! awwwyeaaaaa! :D
:banana: :banana: :banana:
You're an awesome student. Well done on all the LDs!
And airbending? Wow, even your non-lucids kick ass.
Woohoo! Joining the class :)

Current Technique
WBTB+WILD. I'm still in the early learning stages of this technique. I am also in the WILD class with Sageous.
Occasional MILD Mantras (Before bed and sometimes during lucidity): "This is a dream." & "Remember this."
Notes to self:
-Remember the ADSA!
-Remember to do the mantras while lucid!
-Dammit Paige, write the dreams in your DJ nao!!
:lol: I so look forward to your dream journal paige, as usual
Woohoo I had a DEILD tonight. I went for a nap at about 7 pm and woke up at 11 pm. Somewhere in between, I woke up a bit and rolled over. Ta-da! A lucid! =)
It was quite short. When I got lucid, I rubbed my hands and plugged my nose. Also, I specifically paid much attention to the noseplug since I didn't want it to become a trivial task and not work in the future (like what happened with the finger-through-palm). I've had a few LD's before and I've been slightly taking them for granted. I've been paying less attention to the RCs which I shouldn't!! So this time around I'm determined to really look around and observe carefully. When I did it with the noseplug in my dream earlier, I found it to be even more amazing how I could breathe and everything looked so normal and life-like, it was like the first time I had a lucid!
:holycrap:
So if I understand what you're saying correctly, you did the noseplug after you already knew that you were lucid, and that made things even more clear for you? I'm interested.Quote:

Thanks! And, not quite. It's just that usually in my lucids, when I noseplug, I just go, "Oh I can breathe, cool!"... But when I noseplugged in the last lucid, I decided to really take time and see how my breath comes in and out, and how it feels to really breathe in the dream. So for me, it was very exciting when I really focused on it because I truly understood how the dream defied logic and all. :DQuote:

No that's cool, that makes sense. It's like, really appreciating and understanding that you have this magical control.
That's what I like about some of the TOTMs.. some are really activity based, but some involve more intricate, intimate type flair. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I would like to remember in the next LD, to maybe do the mirror TOTM, or finger through palm, or just test the physics of something. Like you did with the nose plug. I do something similar: if I become lucid when I look in the mirror, or if I'm close to a mirror, I look at my eyes and they change odd colors. Then I just kinda go "Ok reflection, ta-ta, gonna go do stuff!" and forget all about it. But I really want to explore all the magic that is possible in that single, intimate moment.
I'm even more worse at explaining lol sorrry :mrgreen:
Gaaaa I just came from a trip which was on such short notice so I wasn't able to put stuff in here yesterday. Eh, yesterday was uneventful anyway, just recalled 2 normal dreams about school.
I recalled 5 dreams from last night, 2 of which were very vivid. Here is a link to one of them.
Oh, also, I downloaded this app that's like a diary thing where I could type up my dreams neatly. The great thing about it is that I could also add tags by category (place, people, event, or custom tags). I use the tag aspect for my dream signs, for example I could put "mall" under place, "Sarah" under people, "chasing scene" under event, "snakes" under custom tags. This means I could just look at the 'tags column' to see which dream entries have the same/recurring elements in them (study old dream signs or spot new ones), and save me some time reanalyzing every single dream I had. Also, I could add a picture or drawing in it, so when I encounter an odd-shaped object/person or an unfamiliar place, I could just draw and post it there so I don't forget how they look like.
Ehh PC was acting up yesterday so I couldn't post properly. The night before last, I had 2 lucids! :D I also had two FA's, both of which made me lucid.
This morning I recalled 5 dreams which were really weird. Some were about nursery rhymes and the others were about me murdering my baby cousin :| ...
Congrats on the lucids! Sorry about the baby murder dream, yuckypoo :blue:
And that app sounds really cool. I'd love to know what it is!
Thanks OpheliaBlue! :D And the app is called "Momento", and the entries are called "moments". ;)Quote:
