Thread: oneiroer's workbook

Thank you NyxCC! Edit: never mind about the mindfulness. Just gotta read up on it here and actually practice it.

Went to bed before midnight got up at around 6. I think this works good for me. Cause I remembered a dream in which I was talking to a friend and I was partially lucid. Don't remember what we talked about except I said something like I would leave a part of myself here... What was interesting about this dream is this is the same friend who someone I never knew about in a dream before led me to this person. In the past dream I didn't want to be where the person led me and tried leaving but I had things try to get me for leaving I think...

Semi-lucid sounds good! Interesting dream

Thank you NyxCC. Been really taking in my senses and surroundings yesterday and today. Realizing I've been taking stuff for granted like life I guess for example. Also finding myself while I take everything in while I'm at it. Remembered vaguely a dream but not enough plot to say anything... Also it seems I have to focus to smell things but when I do smell things I can really smell them!

Had a pretty vivid experience sometime last night. Just remembered my dreams mainly, though might have been lucid at the time. I remember waiting for my dad to get somewhere. Someone being paid... And I think I even was in a recurring dream that I haven't been in for a long time... Also remember shortly interacting with a dream character and seeing like a vacuum on the ground. And remembered walking for a while and I possibly felt stuff...

Thinking about making a Tumblr blog entitled 'Oneiroer's Journeys into lucid dreaming and Awareness'. I'll link it in my Sig once I get it started.

A poem for motivation I think that I just came up with. Hope you guys like this.

I tried to fly before I walked.
No wonder I'm not getting anywhere in life.
Sometimes I feel I don't exist.
But this morning's dream encounter changed all that.
A better relationship with my dreams will take me places. To places of success.
I feel more connected to the earth.

Hey guys I've been wanting to ask the lucid dream to show me something lately. So I thought about what I want to do in my next lucid dream! I want to either say show me what to write about or show me what to draw. Preferably the first show me will be a success. Hopefully tonight!

Sounds like a good task!

Downloaded what seems to be a very cool app for my phone called Conscious. There are daily tasks to become mindful or something. Today's is something like be mindful of creatures however big or small human or not. Notice the life pulsating in them or something. Doing this makes me think I am not alone when I am not near other humans... Like for instance plants and trees. And the philosopher in me asks the question "Is wind alive...?'

Yes, we are never alone and pretty much everything is alive. Is this app for iOS or android?

I had downloaded it for android but they might have it for iOS. I ended up deleting the app but might try it again. An update on my awareness: Last night I was paying attention to just about every detail as I was walking with my girlfriend. Everything looked different... And smelling sensory seemed heightened. I felt like I was somewhere else even though I knew the area well...

Wahoo I got lucid this morning but got woken up. I was going to explore the lucid house I think but couldn't...

Nice! Congrats!

Thanks NyxCC! I think I have found what I really want to do in my next lucid dream. I'm going to tell the dream: Show me what I should play on guitar and show me what I should play on piano! Excited to try these out!

Nice, oneiroer, I'm excited to hear about how this turns out for you! Lucid music is just amazing!

Even someone like me that really can't sing or play music of any kind in real life gets awesome tunes in a lucid dream. You've got real musical ability, so I can only imagine how cool this is going to be!

Good luck with this goal, and definitely stick with it! Let us know how it goes!

Thank you CanisLucidus! Had a semi lucid recently. Here it is in my journal. Semi lucid - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Came up with a technique and goals. Here they are.

Before bed, remind myself:

Tonight I allow myself to more easily remember my dreams.

When I notice I am dreaming:

Mentally tell myself to Calm down.

Shout to the dream More lucid awareness!

Establish my goal(s) which is to:

1. summon a piano and play it.
2. Summon an electric guitar and play it. Summon an audience and while playing the electric guitar see if the audience enjoys what I play.
3. Find a dream catcher and examine the design in the dream then during waking reality draw it.

Experiment:
1. Summon a piano and play it.
When lucid, I will tell myself to close my eyes and when I open them a piano will be there. I will remind myself to calm down if I get excited and begin to play it.

Also read about the count down to lucidity technique which i want to try. Would you guys recommend doing this after a dream or before i first go to sleep?

I think i have found a dream sign. A friend/aquaintence of mine. I seem to have a problem getting to sleep. I got up about 4 times in the night having to go to the bathroom... I had the confidence that I was going to lucid dream last night but didn't. I think my problem sometimes is getting to excited that i am going to lucid dream and end up staying awake. This morning i asked myself what was i dreaming and remembered the friend in my dream. This is like the 3rd time he has been in my dream...

I think after a natural wake would be more effective similar to other techniques, but you can also do it at bed time.

Thank you NyxCC.

I think i am on facebook too much. This morning i woke up from a dream in which i was reading facebook posts and a family member said they adopted someone into their family...

Going to start taking lucid dreaming seriously. Reading a book and going to start over fresh. Havnt been remembering dreams lately and havnt been putting much effort into it. So I'm going to try the techniques for remembering my dreams seriously. And I smoke and in my book it says it effects dreaming negatively so I have half a pack left and decided I'm going to smoke one cig in the morning as motivation to get up... And eventually hopefully quit!

Yes, as it turns out smoking damages brain cells, shrinking the brain. So, it's no wonder it has negative effects on recall and dreaming. We need all the brain cells we can get.

Thanks NyxCC. I remembered a dream this morning. I think I was semi lucid. I wrote it in my dream journal. Question. If I can't hear anything in my dreams would telling myself 'more sound now!' work to turn on sound?
