my entire day has been a whaste. I litterally cleaned paint off a driveway with a wire wheel for 3 hours. I hope I can feel like ive accomplished something by playing tf2 :P DAMNIT I CANT REMEMBER DREAMS WITH THIS FUCKING STRESS.
[QUOTE=Midtown123;25472594]The dream will most likely end, but, as always, there's a slight chance of SP.[/QUOTE] Isn't there [i]always[/i] A slight chance of Sleep paralysis, wether you're dreaming or not? :ghost:
[QUOTE=Zinayzen;25468279]Wait, wait. WAIT. Your [b]SUB[/b] did it? I can literally think of only ONE reason that would happen, and your picture supports it. Either you two were together at one point, or you've just lusted after her for god knows how long. Either way, you need to get over her. She's holding you back and you're using her memory to hold onto so you don't have to deal with getting over her. [/QUOTE] Thats awsome btw can you tell me how I can ask my sub if me smoking is the reason I cant get lucid. I gave up smoking and got a ld afterwards now I am smoking again and I cant get lucid
[QUOTE=Zarfa;25473684]Thats awsome btw can you tell me how I can ask my sub if me smoking is the reason I cant get lucid. I gave up smoking and got a ld afterwards now I am smoking again and I cant get lucid[/QUOTE] Well, I guess you could stop smoking, LD, then ask it. That's the most obvious way, if perhaps not the easiest way, imo. It may not have anything to do with your sub, though. I think I remember reading that smoking does affect lucidity, on a chemical level. So if it's a chemical problem, it should be treated chemically, though again preferably through quitting. There might be other ways, but it seems to me to be like opening up a whole new can of worms. And btw, that was indeed awesome. Zin is clearly a visual thinker EDIT: THAT REMINDS ME [QUOTE=Zinayzen;25450625]That is fantastic. I am definitely trying that. [editline]17th October 2010[/editline] I have no idea how I do it either. It confuses me as well. Let's see...this will probably be wrong. Family member in the military currently/in the past, couple pets, moved once or twice, and you have a sister.[/QUOTE] Well that sucks; clearly the 'prototype pic' wasn't quite good enough Family member in the military: Nope Couple pets: Did till my cat died in summer of 09' (pretty traumatic, btw) Moved once or twice: Yeah, we stayed some places in between houses but I don't think they count Have a sister: Yup. I dunno, when I see it I can't help but be worried by the bottom-right. It's so much more edgy and cluttered, etc. Any more general insights? EDIT 2: Hey Birdman, Yukkuri Shittete Ne!

I just found a way to make my life so much better. I will walk home from school. It's an hour and forty minute walk, but I know the route, there's a mall right next to my school, and I can also do a thing called "geocaching" while I walk home. Pros: [list] [*] Exercise [*] Mall [*] Geocaching [*] Less Stress [*] Away from my annoying bus (friends play sports so they aren't on the bus often) [*] FREEDOM [/list] Cons: [list] [*] Could rain (I love the rain though) [*] Have to tell parents I'm planning to walk (No money = No cellphone) [*] Too cold, too hot, etc. [/list] Hopefully, less stress = more lucid dreams! [b]Lucid Dream Count[/b]: 5
You guys talk about your subconscious as if it is a real person.... Well then again, it really is a subset of your own mind, so why not? OMG, what if your subconscious is sentient, even self-aware?

I used to do some geocaching. fun stuff. also, walking, for me, is a great time to think, because there is nothing better to do. Also, Im in track and I need to get in shape before the season starts. [editline]17th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=a mutant hobo;25474992] OMG, what if your subconscious is sentient, even self-aware? [/QUOTE] for all I know and care, this may be the case.
Geocache. All day, err'day. I'm glad other people know about it so I don't sound like a total nerd. Shit, pageking. In one of my recent dreams (before I became lucid), this girl was hitting on me and she started to rub me down with sun tan lotion. Well, my pants came off SOMEHOW, I TOTALLY have NO idea how (:smug:) and she started to apply it...down...funny thing is, I felt more sensations like that when I was dreaming than when I was lucid...
anyone have a specific meditation technique that they use for taking care of stress? [editline]17th October 2010[/editline] Autome$rge
Kind of weird thinking about that, isn't it? Maybe there is a whole other person ( Like that girl who shows up in jake's lucids) inside you, maybe they are really your gut feelings, your instincts. Maybe they live through your dreams like you do in your life. [editline]17th October 2010[/editline] For LD'ing, I just lay there still, concentrating. Kind of like wild, if you lay there long enough, you will go into SP and eventually LD (hopefully)

It's High-Octane Nightmare Fuel, is what it is. Doesn't help that the game ITSELF is a nightmare. God, I'm getting creeped out just typing this. I think I'm gonna go to bed and dream about ANYTHING but this
I dreamed I got bit by a coyote. It jumped up to me while I was sitting in a wash, started petting it, and then it bit me and ran off. Any explanation?
[QUOTE=Sottalytober;25480300]I dreamed I got bit by a coyote. It jumped up to me while I was sitting in a wash, started petting it, and then it bit me and ran off. Any explanation?[/QUOTE] Yeah, you're probably scared of coyotes.
[QUOTE=Zinayzen;25480642]Yeah, you're probably scared of coyotes.[/QUOTE] But...I'm not. My house is has a giant wash by it so we get coyotes and such coming up to us quite often. They're pretty docile because of all the human contact they get.
I had a dream last night. I gave my friend a couple of skateboard wheels that I don't use like two weeks ago. So in my dream, I'm having a jolly good time sitting in a tree, and then my friend comes up to me with his parents, and he complains that the wheels were too "gooey" and then he throws them at me and they're fucking boiling hot. They start melting on me like goo. I fall down from the tree and I'M COVERED IN GOOEY HOT WHEELS. They cool off eventually and they flake off like dust. And then that's all that I remember :buddy: I really want to do lucid dreaming, but have had a hard time doing it. Has anyone tried I-Doser in attempts to lucid dream?
[QUOTE=Birdman101;25475098]anyone have a specific meditation technique that they use for taking care of stress? [editline]17th October 2010[/editline] Autome$rge[/QUOTE] Well, I have a meditation technique. Only I and one of my friends tried it. For me, it makes me feel relaxed. My friend felt relaxed as well, only to get the stress back when he was forced to speak for a debate. [quote=Obliv's Technique]You are resting on the surface of the ocean. There is no land in sight, only more ocean and the clear sky. You can feel the tide pushing you back and forth (don't worry if you're prone sea sickness). You get up and start diving into the water. There is literally no end to how deep the ocean will get. It simply gets darker as you go. Soon, you'll start drowning and you'll need to come up for air. You splash your head out and take in the fresh air[/quote] On a side note. I just had the most badass dream I've ever experienced. I was in the end of a gauntlet and I felt I needed to get away, so I went on this vehicle called a [url="http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1252808_99120112003_DERaider2main_445x319.jpg"]raider[/url](view changed to third person when I did) and drove out of the gauntlet with great speed. Suddenly, it turns into a civilian helicopter(still viewing in third person) and I started firing missiles at several random buildings like as though the helicopter was an Apache. Then it turned into a stunt and I crash landed at my school. Luckily, I came out completely untouched and my friend was there. "You know whats funny? You don't drive it" I said, ending the dream.
I worry myself sometimes. I'm in the position where I could very, very easily help to end this girl's relationship and I'm not sure how I feel about her yet. I know I shouldn't push it in that direction, but it's hard not to. Besides, that's the directions he's already leaning. Is the right advice the advice that keeps them together, or that actually makes her happy? I think it's the second one but I don't want to be wrong.
She obviously isn't happy if she's leaning towards breaking up. I don't personally know her, though, so there may be some factors I'm unaware of. From what you said, I'd go with the advice that makes her happy.
Well, I didnt remember shit last night, but I came to the sad realization that I love my car more than I love my family. I tried meditation, and this popped into my head: [code]I love my car and it loves me I love it more than family It will never judge me if I smell like smoke Or what I choose to wear And in return, I feel freedom, and soft wind in my hair It will never ask me where I've been Or where I plan to be I just feed it gas and take care of it And it takes care of me And now, I fear I've wounded it Somehow more than a smashed front end I love my car, and it loves me It is my best friend[/code] BOB SAGGET I feel like so damn depressed right now.
