[QUOTE=radiomonster;22153497]Dont ninja me bro! anyways, drink shitloads of water, and instead of an alarm clock or something, you need to piss, and you go back and do wild, or c-wild. Before i head out to bed, i need some advice. When i get into my first LD, i want to talk to my subconscious. How would i get to him/her/it? How would i ask these questions? Where do i ask these questions?[/QUOTE] You don't have a really high chance of seeing your SC on your first try.
Everyone should remember to sleep a few hours before attempting WILD, if you do it straight when going to sleep it'll be very, very hard. Possible, but just insanely hard.
[QUOTE=Orkel;22153595]Everyone should remember to sleep a few hours before attempting WILD, if you do it straight when going to sleep it'll be very, very hard. Possible, but just insanely hard.[/QUOTE] Usually I do it right off the bat, but yeah it's way harder that way.
[QUOTE=Hmn30;22153526]This thread is back, awesome. I tried that laying on my back thing 3 times, I always ended up moving because it wasn't working. I'm now trying with C-WILD, but I end up falling asleep when I count for the second time.[/QUOTE] Any recommendations? [editline]07:09PM[/editline] Oh, and since I started, I don't really remember my dreams. [editline]07:10PM[/editline] And I'm still tempted to ask what my worst fear is, since I truly don't know.
Off to sleep now.
Been trying WILD, I think I'll stick with it for tonight.
I had a dream I had a girlfriend once. She was nice and it was fun. Then I woke up... And cried my self back to sleep :frown: And some times I just remember that dream and feel empty inside... To know how it feels to love some one and know they love you back....
Ohgod I just had a lucid dream with my subconscious. I was in the middle of my elementary's playground and said "hey sub, where [b]is[/b] you?" He then crawled out of the mulch in the ground and said "hi". He looked like me, but had three arms (two on the left and one on the right), and a pair of shades. I asked him a couple of philosophy questions, my preferences, and some other stuff. He also gave me some dating advice. At the end I said "wanna dance?" He said "fuck yeah." We then proceeded to dance to [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwyQ2mRa21s]Livin in the Sunlight, Lovin in the Moonlight[/url]. I didn't know my brain was such a badass.

I love Boards of Canada. Also I'm starting a dream journal on my iPod.
This is one of my weirdest most memorable dream: My Mum was talking to me about how my Dad goes to the shop and buys gin and doesn't share it with anyone and he eats/drinks all our treats as well. Then whenever we try to drink/eat his stuff he gets all angry. So this made me and my Mum got the the shops to buy some food, we went to the vegetable lane and go spinach and leeks but the leeks looked really mouldy so we forgot about them. The cafe was open and it was really dark outside, it looked like a party was going on but when we stepped inside it stopped. I got a tray with mince and sauce all over it, my Mum got a coffee (she never normally has coffee). Then a worker there kept sticking his finger into my mince and sauce and then runs back over to his seat and eats his own mince and sauce. After doing this a couple of times my Mum asks him what he is doing, he says "The mince upstairs is infected and dirty, maybe your's is as well". I don't eat any of the mince after that was said. **this was a part in the middle which I can't remember but after even "scene" it would cut to this fat man with a hairy chest sitting in a sauna with what looked like Narnia in the backround** I can only remember this last bit, I think it was a story this man was telling us about in the cafe. There was this human cat (like a cat girl) that had big boobs. It jumped onto a bed and looked around and said "Sonic is going to get me, I need something to outrun him FAST". She saw a vacuum cleaner and strapped it around her body, it pushed up against her boobs tight, she then appeared in a parking lot where Sonic began to chase her. She grabbed onto a handrail and set the vacuum on full blast, she went flying ahead and sonic was soon to chase. Eventually she got stuck in a circle on the handrail and kept bumping into a pole, she let out loud screams, like orgrams, sonic sent loads of dogs after her and they kept falling off like lemmings. Sonic was right behind her and bit her right in the pussy. She screamed and flew off into the sky. Later on Sonic saw her walking back up the ramp, she shouted and shat out a dog. **Scene cuts back to the cafe** A worker sees the opening times of the cafe to be 8am-10pm, it was way past that time and he screams "WOO TIME TO PART WITH THE SEXY KING OF FINLAND" then I woke up, pretty weird
I'm kind of pissed off that I didn't realize that I was dreaming last night... I had some crazy ass dreams (I don't remember having them but I wrote them down). One of them was (and I quote from my dream journal) "All the politicians are telling lame fucking puppy stories, why?" and another involved me walking around with a baseball bat and hitting the ground and creating huge craters with extremely minimal effort... I guess since my attempts to reach lucidity are failing I'll just focus on recall for a while because it's pretty interesting how screwed up my dreams can be. [B]Has anyone experienced greater success with achieving lucidity after a few weeks of working on dream recall?[/B]
i suffer from depression. would it be a good idea to ask my sub conscious why i'm depressed? or what would help make me happier?
What does it mean when your subconscious manifests itself as the opposite gender of yourself? I've never seen the metaphorical manifestation of my subconscious, but I'm just curious.
[QUOTE=Dark Descent;22154839]i suffer from depression. would it be a good idea to ask my sub conscious why i'm depressed? or what would help make me happier?[/QUOTE] Seconding this question.
[QUOTE=Big Ben;22155066]What does it mean when your subconscious manifests itself as the opposite gender of yourself? I've never seen the metaphorical manifestation of my subconscious, but I'm just curious.[/QUOTE] I don't really know, to be honest. Usually unless you tell your brain to give it a specific form it just kind of...gives itself one. I don't want to overanalyze it, but it's possible, of course, that it means you imagine that at your core, you're not as manly as you think. It doesn't mean you're a girl in a man's body, it just means you possess more female characteristics than male. This isn't bad, because that doesn't mean physical. Maybe it means at your heart, you're more emotional than most guys, or you think with your emotions instead of your brain (not being sexist, these are science facts (I think)). I've never heard of that happening. Mine looks like Agent Smith, but I'm not secretly in the Matrix. OR AM I. [QUOTE=Dark Descent;22154839]i suffer from depression. would it be a good idea to ask my sub conscious why i'm depressed? or what would help make me happier?[/QUOTE] It won't make you happier, but it'll probably tell you why you're depressed. Lucid Dreaming is one of the best forms of therapy I can think of. As for thread music, I think we got Teh_TPmaster to do it. Not sure yet. If he did, prepare yourself for the lucidity rap.
[QUOTE=Rammaster;22152642]This is the reason I don't want to try WILD. :ohdear:[/QUOTE] WILD isn't the same for everybody, for me I hit a tunnel of brilliant flashing colors and I go flying down the tunnel extremely fast. Try it atleast once before you pussy out.

But what do I know?

But what do I know?[/QUOTE] I doubt it. Your subconscious is still YOU, so however it appears it would look like you in some way, be it form or essence or whatever. You could make it look however you wanted, I guess, but I don't know why you would. Next time I do it I'm making him look like a giraffe.
I forgot to mention, i mean i would ask it what would make me happy could it answer? and so if i just think "my subconcious is behind me" it assumes a form? can it be scary?
Anyone love the extreme numb feeling before SP?
I'm a bit concerned about SP. I'm not sure what kind of hallucinations I'll have. It could be swirling colors, geometric shapes, etc. But it could also be something extremely terrifying correct?
[QUOTE=Potatoes;22154422]Proposed Thread Music: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMV4dl-x0Tc[/media][/QUOTE] Sorry, Zin's got me on the job. I'm making a "Sleep and Dreams Megathread Theme Song".
Satan.
[QUOTE=AteBitLord;22157375]Satan.[/QUOTE] Gah, stop with the constant "Satan" mentioning. If you're gonna mention Satan, call him Lucifer instead since at least it sounds sexier than Satan. Also, gonna attempt PILD tonight. Gonna go drink a ton of water and take my B6 vitamins.
[QUOTE=AteBitLord;22156911]Anyone love the extreme numb feeling before SP?[/QUOTE] I fucking love SP. I've purposely prolonged it so I feel it longer. I'm weird.

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;22157461]I fucking love SP. I've purposely prolonged it so I feel it longer. I'm weird.[/QUOTE] Oh yeah, Zin, remind again on the steps on PILD. I just pissed right now and my stomach is already full of water I think I'm gonna blow. I sleep. Wake up to take a piss. Count to 100 and voila, I'm in the dream?
Going to try lucid dreaming for the first time tonight. Not going to do anything big, going to try to master the WILD method. But seriously, I'm very scared about this. Especially asking my subconscious my deepest fear. Say I picture something that I don't want to happen, will it happen?
