I almost had a lucid dream last night:
[quote]So I bought a totem for myself, hoping that it would help me lucid dream

It hasn't arrived yet, but I've been anticipating its arrival. My plan was to spin it multiple times every day for a few weeks, so that it became a routine. And usually, if you have a routine in real life, it will trickle down into your dreams. So my plan was that when I was in my dreams, I would spin it and it would spin forever like in Inception. But I was wrong.
Last night I had a dream about having my totem. Since I don't know what it feels like in my hands, and I don't know how long it spins for, it barely spun at all. But there were other, very small, little things wrong with my totem that changed every few minutes. At one point, it was brass plated and the metal was chipped to all hell. Another variant looked like one of those little metal 'jacks'. And one was about the size of my hand and was heavy as fuck.
Most people would view this as an inconvenience, but this has prepared me for lucid dreams. If the totem just spun forever, that would be too easy for me to identify. There's no way it's just going to spin forever, that only works in movies. I need to spot little inconsistencies with my totem. It will be a challenge, but I can't wait to start lucid dreaming with it.[/quote]
Any tips on increasing dream-vividness and dream memory? Foods? Sleeping techniques?
Going to bed in a few.
I have to wake at around 6am, but maybe I'll set my alarm anyways.
Any tips on how to WILD directly into sleep if the alarm thing makes me lose sleep?
Do you have to lay on your back to lucid dream or sleep paralysis or whatever?
[QUOTE=solid_jakeV2;24277848]Took me all day to write this entry. I cut out some parts that I felt were personal/dragged on the story.
I really need to go eat dinner now though, I'll be back later tonight.
[editline]05:38PM[/editline]
I cut out a LOT on the last stage, because I re read through all of my memories and talked to my subconscious about them, asking what I should have done.[/QUOTE]
So were you lucid or not? If you can't control your dream, does that make you not lucid? Or is the fact you control your own body in a dream make you lucid? If you were controlling your body.
And there are some questions I have:
If you go down layers of dreams do you really have to come out of them one at a time? In your dream your subconscious said you did. But you don't really have to, you can just wake up, right? Like if an alarm or someone woke you up you don't wake up then wake up then wake up, unless it happens in a split second.
And your subconscious said you might affect your memories in the roots. Could you actually forget something in your past if you accidentally messed with something in a dream? If you wanted to forget something could you go down and destroy a memory? Would the memory be gone forever? Can you go back and watch them? Can you see things you've forgotten, like what you did as a kid and such?
And about sleep paralysis. I don't exactly get it. I know when you WILD you experience it. But does the paralysis last the entire time you sleep? When you WILD and decide you want to come out of it you say wait it out or try moving your toes. But when you wake up in the morning or have an alarm go off you aren't paralyzed for 10 minutes. Why is that?
Eating bananas for the sake of lucidity.
[QUOTE=solid_jakeV2;24277848]story[/QUOTE]
It's like inception 2 or something. You could make an awesome book with this stuff.
Not to mention reading these stories (and thereby keeping lucid dreaming on the mind) is likely to inspire lucid dreams.
hmm
if you could destroy your memories, I wonder if you could remove all your fears and become a badass
damn jake
write a book collaborating everything that you ever do with your subconscious
i'd definitely buy it
I hope my subconcious is the g-man
i'm gonna start posting my dream journal here, here's one from earlier today:

Yes I was lucid because I was aware I was dreaming. I couldn't change anything around because I needed to concentrate harder as I went through each layer.
Yes you can wake up all together. The flashes of each layer only happened in like 4 seconds real time.
I would imagine you could destroy something if you really wanted to, but that could damage your brain.
Yes you can go back and watch your memories because that's what I did with my subconscious. Same works for forgotten things.
You aren't always paralyzed. If you wake up the wrong way you may get paralyzed. Paralysis lasts only as long as you can keep it.

You need to stop and lay down for a good 5 minutes and try to remember as much as you can.
Even I when I was a beginner remembered more than that. Detail is key sometimes

i've been trying since I woke up, literally can't remember anything other than that
Wow double post much

Ah well okay.
I just want to make sure you're trying
Is it just me or is automerge not working very well recently?
Just read this in its entirety. Very well done. I will be trying this and will edit this post with my progress.
So I last night I got up and put my clothes back on (I sleep with only boxers on) then (as far as I know) went back to bed.

:ohdear:
What
Well I'm going to bed now, I'm gonna ask my subconscious what she wants to do for being so accepting with my requests if I go lucid.
so is sleep paralysis usual for when you wake up directly mid-dream? because i've done that quite a bit, the latest one, i was about to go and beat up the zombie/infected mastermind, but i just woke up - unparalyzed, though.

This motherfucker scared the shit out me. I was watching some kind of movie when suddenly I remember that somebody posted a thread about it long time ago. I bumped it. Went outside in the backyard and out of sudden, this motherfucker jumps out and begins chasing me. I vaulted over the fence, I could see him flying towards me and trying to catch my legs...Then I slide in the house, where I instantly tackled the door open and ran in my room and jumped under the bed. Holy f-
Woke up few moments after. Holy shit.
I somehow turned a 40+ person group trip to Disneyland into a date with my sisters' friend. I have no idea how it happened, but it was awesome. I got her number.
I am awesome.
If you get someones phone number in a dream does it represent anything or is it just random crap?

It represents the fact that he'll never get a girl's phone number.
Had a weird experience when doing WILD. Since I went paintballing yesterday I started replaying it through my head. And hear and feel things whizzing past my head. Then when one hit me in my visor it felt that I suddenly went deeper to sleep.
3 Serves of Peanut banana sandwich in me
Wish me luck.
This shit is incredible, had my first lucid dream the other day.
I was at the Download Festival with a few friends of mine the day before it started. I didn't realise I was dreaming for a while, we were just hanging around, chatting, exploring and what not and there was nothing strange at all happening. We was there the day before but we were leaving later that day and had no intentions of actually going to the festival to see the bands.
A while later, I'm sat in the main arena with one of my friends thinking to myself:
'Why on earth are we here, we're not staying for any bands, we must of paid a load of money for the tickets for nothing, actually I can't remember buying any-
AH FUCK, I'M DREAMING!'
It was insane, I was looking around, there was loads of noise and people talking, but in a strange way if I tried to listen to anything specific I couldn't make it out, it was like a huge blur which I didn't notice until now. I was looking around at the food stalls, at first glance I thought they were all normal and different, but looking at each one individually it was all the same stand.
I started trying to see if I could control little things, making bits of grass float and changing what shoes I had on. It was weird, but everytime I did something like that it felt like I was being pushed away, and kind of waking up so I stopped since I didn't want it to end. Lamb Of God came on and started playing, the crowd didn't move or have any reaction to it at all, and all I could hear was a massive slur of bass, again in the background I thought I could hear the songs being played, but when I tried to really listen to it all I could hear was a bundle of noises. It got louder and louder until eventually I guess it must of woke me up.
Awesome stuff, that was about a week ago and I haven't had another one since but I'm gonna keep trying!
i was in some sort of mario party thing
some guy wanted us to find 4 sacred tubes but he told me he wanted to kill someone so i had to lead people away from him and the guy
i did that and we looked for the tubes in this place that was full of old castles
one turret had a diglett built out of lego at the top and there was a tube inside of it
one of the people got scared to death by ghosts in a library, the other was too generic and faded away
then i walk up a large metal ramp to the last diglett and when i turn around the person who told us to find the tubes was behind me as a zombie
i cut him in three and blew on the final tube and woke up

Probably, but this wasn't a dream. It actually happened.
Would someones subconscious appear in non lucid dreams from time to time?
