I have little to say, as my journal has sucked recently, haven't barely remembered any dreams since school started. Interestingly enough though, last night I felt something strange. When I went to bed, I felt myself fall asleep. It was the normal eyelid thing, then it was like a pitch-black tunnel vision sort of thing and a feeling of lightness. I didn't have enough time to even say my mantra, thought it's good to know so I can next time. Was strange.

[QUOTE=solid_jake;24570795]But But :frown:[/QUOTE] Ask Ellen what the most important thing she needs to tell me is. That'll help.

[QUOTE=solid_jake;24570795]But But :frown:[/QUOTE] Agent Smith vs Ellen Page Hmmmm...

[QUOTE=PyroCF;24570888]Agent Smith vs Ellen Page Hmmmm...[/QUOTE] I have a better link, I'd win. :smug:

Ellen uses flirt! Smith's emotionless deflects it!

Smith uses multiply! Its super effective!

Jake summons AJ AJ uses nightscare It's super effective

I'm in the middle of a game I can't right now :frown: [editline]08:53PM[/editline] "I'm not comfortable sharing that much" :confused:

of what just spam your thoughts [editline]08:55PM[/editline] [QUOTE=solid_jake;24571866]I'm in the middle of a game I can't right now :frown: [editline]08:53PM[/editline] "I'm not comfortable sharing that much" :confused:[/QUOTE] oh goddammit fine, we'll do it your way. I'm probably interfering too much as it is.

I had the weirdest experience this morning. I was in a lucid dream, and suddenly I felt like everything is becoming blurry. As it turned more and more blurry, I felt like I was being dragged from the dream world into real life. This is the first time I went through a complete process of waking up, that is, not just suddenly waking up, but slowly being pulled out of the dream. It felt more similar to getting back from deep meditation then waking up.

In my last dream I was in a small ice cave being yelled at by a fat mexican. :saddowns:

I'm wondering if laying in bed and thinking about lucid dreaming is good practice for WILDing? I really want to learn to WILD, but I'm not sure what the best circumstances for doing it is. Can anybody tell me their method?

Being a twin is so cool, so many unexplainably crazy things happen, there's definately some sort of bond going on. Anyway, i'm suddenly remembering a lot of my dreams again, last night involved another truck with a massive engine, as well as the cast from futurama, the demoman, a water park, and a canyon made out of parts from need for speed carbon, just cause 2, and the train parts of gm_botmap v3 Crazy stuff ensued. I think there where talking ducks that lived alongside cats aswell. And I mentioned the twin thing because my brother knew that i'd drempt a lot, because he somehow had the feeling that we both had.

Say to yourself- "I'm going to have a lucid dream". "I'm going to have a clear, lucid dream". Just repeat that a lot of times before you go to sleep, not only will it make your dreams much clearer, it will also give you a better chance at being lucid.

Thanks!

Importantly don't say it to keep you awake, say it softly

oh ive allways been saying it in my head :ohdear:

[QUOTE=DaAngryWeasel;24572565]Thanks![/QUOTE] Heres a video that helped me a little bit with lucid dreaming- [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llw717IARpQ[/media] Remember, these methods aren't even near 100% perfect, so don't expect it to happen on the first try, but it will happen eventually. Also, pinching yourself does not work. I experimented with this while in a dream, and you do feel pain.

Don't say it out loud unless you want to. Easiest way to do it is to alternate breathing with it, it'll make it less distracting. "I will..." breathe in, breathe out, "...have a lucid dream" breathe in, breathe out, "I will..." repeat. Vary pattern to a comfortable pace. And you don't have to be perfectly timed. It helps because you'll go to sleep while still remembering it. That's how I've always done it.

[QUOTE=kenji;24572650]oh ive allways been saying it in my head :ohdear:[/QUOTE] That's what I meant, just nice and easily in your head, not "I WILL LUCID DREAM RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHJSDGHKADHALSKDAS"

Oh, and the spinning around thing while in a dream? Fucking awesome, I used to wake myself up A LOT when I found out I was lucid, until I found out about that. If you feel like the dream is becoming blurry, just spin around in place for a while and everything will be back to normal.

I attempted WILD last night, and it worked on the first try. First entry in my dream journal, too. I'll post it later today.

An informative video on youtube? I must be dreaming

I think I almost had it last night, I was in the middle of a dream and all of the sudden I said to myself "Oh shit I'm dreaming and I felt more aware in the dream, but then I woke up.
