bahahaha peggy


I only slept for 2 hours last night. I remembered 4 dreams.

In one of them, I was in my old school with a DC. That school has always been one of my dream signs. And in my dream, I was telling my DC that it was! I kept pointing out how I always dreamed about that school, etc. It was strange, like we were really there and just talking. It never occurred to me that it was already the dream itself, so I didn't get lucid XD



Probably gonna MILD for a few days without the WBTB Test week sucks. -.-"

Blast.. I hate dreams like that >_>
Test week does suck :/ Hopefully you get some good rest though. Good luck with your tests!

I recalled 5 dreams from last night (and a couple more fragments).

I kept hitting the snooze button on my alarm every 5 minutes or so, because I felt too lazy to get up. I noticed that everytime I dozed off, there was a different dream scene. I didn't get lucid, but I'm thinking of looking more into DEILD since I've been doing the snoozing thing a lot lately, and the "snooze dreams" are really easy to get.

Also, some DV chat people have popped up in my dreams again. This time it was TheUnknown, Alex, and Kyle. I don't even know their faces but in my dream, I just knew it was them. Plus they were calling each other by their names so that must have been it.

Hmmm, chat's been creeping into my subconscious lately. Here are the people who have been in my dreams (not in order lol):

-Merro
-fOrceez
-Dark_Merlin
-rudedudeowns
-Alex
-Duck
-Andrewkansil
-TheUnknown
-Sornaensis
-Octoberwind

Bahahaha! I would like to conclude this post with a banana.

Glad you're remembering so many dreams! I snooze alot too, and I think that does contribute to my DEILDing abilities.

I planned for WBTB+MILD last night, and guess what. I set the alarm for pm instead of am, so I wasn't able to wake up. Gaaah that was such a stupid mistake lol

Good thing my recall has been pretty good, I remembered 8 dreams, plus a couple of dream fragments.

Also, I went for a roadtrip the other night and slept in the middle of nowhere. I could only remember 1 hazy dream fragment the following day. Not to mention I totally forgot about awareness the entire time.

Bad bad couple of days for me. And schoolweek's coming up again.

I shall be lucid. I shall be lucid. I shall be lucid. Banana.

That's some really good recall! (before the road trip, of course xD) Just start to keep your awareness up again. Make sure you get plenty of sleep; when you have lack of sleep and are trying to maintain awareness.. it doesn't work too well. x)

Thanks Forceez!

Last night I had 3 FA's. All of them were the same scene over and over and over. (I woke up in my bed because some kids threw rocks at my window.) It's like my mind was giving me 3 chances to become lucid, and I missed all of them. But hey, I think I'm warming up to it already. Hopefully I will be lucid soon. Real soon.

I also remember some uneventful dreams and fragments like usual.

I am starting to get used to doing an RC everytime there is a major scene change (i.e. going outdoors/indoors), and when I spot my dream signs. I'm also starting to get back on the awareness thing since my slip last weekend.



Hmm so for this week's task about finalizing which induction method I will use: I think I'll stick with my WBTB+MILD. It has worked like a charm for me ever since I started. I might not have as much time on schooldays to do it, but I will stick with it since I don't want to switch methods without really familiarizing it first especially since I'm still new and method-hopping might just frustrate me

I love that. I don't know how many folks share this same trait, but I tend to change scenes in my lucid dreams whenever I walk out the front door of my "house". So going indoor/outdoors in real life is an excellent time to do reality checks. Well done paige, I hadn't realized that until you mentioned it.

Professors! I might not be on for a while. My best friend is very ill and we're the only family she has, so I'll either be at school or in the hospital or doing medical errands and stuff. But I will make sure to RC continuously and keep up my dream journal! I might just post them late

Anyway, good luck to everyone! And have a good week


(@Forceez, no way I'm leaving DV forever Just thought you should know haha!)

Also, I recalled 6 dreams last night. One of them had something to do with pirates and torture O_O
I have a feeling I might be having weird and disturbing dreams for the next few days or so, due to the medical emergency. Hmmpf :'(

I just thought of an LD goal!

I thought I should write it before I forget.

The goal is.. to ask my DC/subconscious: "WHO THE HELL IS THE MOTHER OF TED'S KIDS?" #HowIMetYourMother

banana.

!

Hooray, I can still go online from time to time! Turns out they won't let me sleep over at the hospital so I can go on DV at night :3

Anywhoooo, I've been having afternoon naps at the hospital for the past week. Nothing to do there, besides watch my bff, who is always sleeping anyway, so I usually just sleep as well. My naps are usually about 2-3 hours, and I've noticed that I always have really vivid dreams with a very long storyline or something. So I was wondering maybe I could use it to get lucid, seeing as I can't WBTB for a while. The thing is, I've only ever done WBTB+MILD, so I have no idea what to do. I'll be lurking around the forums for a while about this.

Any tips?



Oh, and Oreoboy1996 and OldSparta were in my dream last night. And apparently, I was Merro and someone killed me with a shotgun O_O lol

Spoiler for Le Story Time Which Has No Connection With My Workbook:

[14:47:35] <Superdub49> one time, I was walking to
[14:47:47] <+about25yearzolde> the sex shop when
[14:47:53] <%Dark_Merlin> c-c-c-combo breaker
[14:47:57] <%Dark_Merlin> LOL
[14:47:59] <%Dark_Merlin> !away
[14:48:05] <Superdub49> I bought my friend Dark_Merlin|Away a Dildo
[14:48:24] <+about25yearzolde> which i painted the color
[14:48:37] <Superdub49> clear, because the bitches love clear
[14:48:49] <+about25yearzolde> And so when he saw it, he
[14:49:03] <Superdub49> began to dougie furiously
[14:49:22] <+about25yearzolde> (what.)
[14:49:35] <Superdub49> (a dougie is a dance)
[14:49:40] <+about25yearzolde> which looked really awkward so I
[14:49:45] <+about25yearzolde> (i know lol)
[14:49:57] <Superdub49> began shufflin, in order to counteract the dougie
[14:50:36] <+about25yearzolde> . As we were dancing, I felt
[14:50:56] <Superdub49> like mancon, so
[14:51:25] <+about25yearzolde> I spread my wings like a butterfly and
[14:51:41] <Superdub49> looked over at the clock and realized it was 1 in the morning so I
[14:52:11] <+about25yearzolde> went out to buy some
[14:52:27] <Superdub49> anal beads, and I
[14:52:51] <+about25yearzolde> realized I forgot to bring some money so I paid the man with
[14:53:11] <Superdub49> fellatio and he
[14:53:32] <+about25yearzolde> kicked me in the balls which felt very
[14:53:47] <Superdub49> similar to a poem I read about
[14:54:12] <+about25yearzolde> . I ran as fast as i could while
[14:54:35] <Superdub49> whipping my hair back and forth because
[14:55:07] <+about25yearzolde> I'm fabulous.

ZOMG I HAD A LUCID!! It was very short but nice. I came home from school at lunchtime and went on chat. Then my PC crashed and I was too tired to reboot so I decided to take a 45 minute nap instead, since I had to go back to school in an hour.

You can read my entry about it here.

It was very unexpected and gaaahhhhh finally after two weeks!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?! BANANAS!! LOTS AND LOTS OF BANANAS!!

Congrats Paige!!

Hooray for lucid naps. I used to have those alot when my son was a baby and I got no sleep at night.

Yaaay lucidity!

Hello hello hello! I had another lucid today! =))

I slept at around 1 am, and woke up for school at 6. Then I decided to skip school because I only had one subject, and I wasn't feeling very well. I was up for about 30 minutes until I decided to go back to sleep.

Ta-da! I had a lucid, and a few non-lucids...

You can read about it here.

I wasn't planning for it, but I guess it turned out I did WBTB+MILD! Hooray! I can barely contain my excitement! Can you tell?


Also, I don't know why, but I didn't think about stabilizing, and the dream went okay. Probably because of the whole schema thing Prof Forceez said?


Guess the whole 2 week hiatus wasn't such a bad thing after all

And also, my friend is getting better so I won't have to worry as much anymore

Yay, you are getting some really good progress!

I had a lucid last night! Awwwyeeeaa 3rd night in a row!

Merlin and Forceez were in my dream too. They helped me get lucid. I was outside my house and they came to me and said, "Silly girl! You're dreaming." Then I RCed and rubbed my hands and everything went HD. I was studying my hands for a few seconds when another DC (an old deceased friend) came and took me away. Then I lost lucidity.




And also, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, Professor OpheliaBlue! <3 and all your moms out there (:=3

3 days in a row?!?! Kick ass girl. Keep doing whatever you're doing.

And thanks for the mother's day wish <3

Jeez paige, you've got this lucid dreaming thing down! Congrats

Thanks Lisa and RC

I'm quite relieved I had lucids again after quite some time of not having them. I was afraid WBTB+MILD wouldn't work for me anymore =)
But huzzah! I'm back on track =)

If you find a technique, it will always work for you. If you are having a dry spell, it is most likely due to external factors like stress, worry, depression, etc etc.

This morning I recalled 5 different dreams. Among them, one stood out the most. It was a dream about...


The Beautiful Winged Man
^ le click!


Hmm so there's this thing I do in my dreams that I only realized now. Many times in my dream, I randomly snap my fingers. I noticed that when I snap, they produce a very distinct, sharp and loud sound. Consequently, the dream turns more vivid.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, when I've actually used this snapping thing once or twice in a lucid. The moment I snap, the sound makes my ears ring in a weird way, and the visuals improve a lot.

Thus, I was thinking of using this as my own personal technique of stabilizing/enhancing my dream quality.

~Hoping for the best!
