[QUOTE=Maximo13;25507098]If you say something to me on Steam, don't repeat it again here.[/QUOTE] Just so others know.

Well, I was riding the bus because I cant drive my car, and I wanted to try WILD. I got to 120 and realized it would take too long. I woke up and felt like Dusk. YAY! I layed back and meditated, went into bliss, imagined my sub, we had a little talk, then I fell asleep. I had 3 or 4 mini-dreams, all of wich went lucid from logic. I dont remember any of them now, but K was in all of them (we decided on calling him K). I woke up when we were close to school, closed my eyes, and we were back in bliss. I said "well it looks like its time to go". He left , and I said dude you gotta help me with dream recall! He was gone, but I looked down and there was a busted chunk of concrete with reebar sticking out. I looked at the reebar, and forged into it were letters. I read them. It said: "the(or "more") confidence to come". I looked on the left side of the chunk, and the reebar said: "so I live long memories". I assume these two messages are in order of left to right. "...so I live long memories... ("the" or "more") confidence to come" Anybody have any idead what this means? I have a feeling it means something.

I also asked him about the Deagle. He shrugged it off and said: "it was a gift"

my automerge [editline]19th October 2010[/editline] lol

Birdman, K wants you to stop playing minecraft I'm guessing. Probably the addiction is affecting your life style and K wants to help fix it.

hey eonart, I cant find anything on google regarding using ideomotor responses to commuinacate with my sub. Explain? also, lol. double broken automerge. @oblivious: heeheeheee........ that was a lie. I was watching movies and lurking facepunch late last night. Its usually world of tanks that keeps me up late. minecraft is nothing too big. Damn I told myself I would quit lying.

I think thread music has to be the full 20 min tubular bells by mike oldfield also, in theory, drowning in dreams or biting your tongue is impossibe

hey zin, does this phrase mean anything to you or your gut feelings? [QUOTE=Birdman101;25507273]"...so I live long memories... ("the" or "more") confidence to come" Anybody have any idead what this means? I have a feeling it means something.[/QUOTE] also, one more little detail I remember, is that about symbols. in one of the mini-dreams, we were on a ranch, and were branding cattle I think. there was a bucket with different brands. K said "pick a brand". I picked up a brand, and it was my symbol. I have a symbol that I like, and that is it. I asked if it was too cheesy to have this be my dream symbol. He said no and told me that nothing is set in stone. Its funny because I have known this symbol since last year and never forgotten it. Now I cant remember it. I have it engraved on some stuff at home, so when I see it again, Ill draw something up in photoshop

Had a lucid dream this morning, lasted about 5 seconds and consists of me floating into the ceiling. Woke up with a tingle all over.

I'm guessing he's probably just saying he's got a lot of built of dream memories to share with you once you're more comfortable with LDing. Dream memories are good, you'd be surprised how often recurring problems show up. Psychological issues are far older than you'd think they are. I have a dream I remember from when I was 7 which I'll type up this weekend when I'm not busy studying (if someone reminds me to write it). I'm only bringing this up because there are some recurring themes of stress and wanting solitude and stuff. I've been fucked up for a while, which is kind of weird to realize. That's good. Can't wait to see it. [editline]19th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Fourm Shark;25510118]I apologiesed. Then we had a chat. He mentioned that jakes dreams are over exadurated.[/QUOTE] the fuck are you talking about and no they are not

I had two awesome dreams last night.. wrote them in my journal. #1 I was in ancient times, a warrior of a country. We trained war dogs. Two countries invaded our lands so we went to meet them, we set the dogs loose and they attacked while we hid in the woods. One of the enemies shouted at us "Come out you monsters!" because he couldn't see us. Then we arrived at the beach. We were armed with a shield and a spear, plus some armor. There were two enemy formations, the Yellows and the Browns (according to their uniform color). We banged our spears against our shields to intimidate. Then we attacked. One of the enemies tried to stab me, but I deflected it with my shield and stabbed his chest through his leather armor using my spear and killed him. Then I felt a strong thud on my head. An enemy had hit me with his war axe, but my steel helmet had stopped it. I quickly stabbed him in the throat. But my spear broke. I tried to search for another, but then I woke up. #2 I got an invitation on Facebook from five people to come at an observatory. I went there with them, using a red car. There were two observatories next to each other, one for the southern sky and one for the northern sky. We went to the southern. The guy there told us he had made the telescope into a beam cannon that could destroy stars. He had also invited a journalist from a famous science magazine to see his invention. Then he fired the cannon. The beam was five meters in length (he said so), and it blasted off towards the starry sky and hit one of the blinking stars in seconds. The star disappeared. Then an explosion at its spot was visible, it grew bigger and bigger, destroying other stars around it. Until it reached Earth. The sky turned red, everything shook, the guy who invented the beam cannon was panicking. And then a falling steel girder crushed me. I "reloaded" the time before the beam was shot, and was alive again. But something else happened, and I got crushed by another steel girder. Then woke up.

the mystery phrase was forged into some reebar sticking out of a busted chunk of concrete that appeared after my sub left. also, I remembered the symbol.

I am lazy as fuck. however, I answered your question. Be careful with dream signs that don't originate in dreams, because seeing it in real life could be dangerous. Just make sure to RC after you see it in your dreams. If I hear you killed yourself by jumping off your roof, I'll know you thought you were dreaming and simultaneously facepalm and feel responsible for your death.

yes you did thanks and now I feel like a retard because I dont think either of us truly knew what a dream symbol was. :hurr: [editline]19th October 2010[/editline] I just like it as a symbol of my work. its like a signature that only I know

I'm not saying that's a BAD thing. if it works, that's fantastic. just be careful with it.

i prefer to just be simple. "I will realize i am dreaming" works perfectly fine for me, but it's really about deciding how you want to do it. "I am in a dream" works, or whatever else you want. the point is to burn it into your conscious so it comes up when you're dreaming, and you'll pick up on it. personally i've never had much luck with MILDs. I just love WILD instead.

I suck at MILD and RC's every LD ive had so far was from logic. or just suddenly knowing im dreaming for no reason. [editline]19th October 2010[/editline] happy fp birthday orkel you just made 18000 posts

[QUOTE=Birdman101;25511324] happy fp birthday orkel you just made 18000 posts[/QUOTE] o thanks but 20,000 would be better as a birthday right

I've seen some posts here that say "don't fight your sub or try to kill him". Why?

[QUOTE=Orkel;25511258]I don't think anyone would be that stupid.[/QUOTE] Neither do I, but people often surprise me. Not in good ways.

[QUOTE=A Dead Guy;25511634]I've seen some posts here that say "don't fight your sub or try to kill him".

[editline]19th October 2010[/editline] and what in hot twinkie hell's firey oven was your resoning for trying that zin? [editline]19th October 2010[/editline] Oh I forgot. beiber dosnt have a heart.

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;25511831] anything non-lethal is fine, but trying to make your sub die inevitably leads to bad things. i tried it once and my sub overexposed me into waking up.[/QUOTE] I'm guessing your mind goes into "what the fuck is just happening" mode, goes all BSOD and restarts by waking you up.

Wow Had my first dose of sleep paralysis this morning ... Just wow Also, WILD failed, so when i woke up i used MILD again and got a LD about 5 secs long

When I went out to the U.S.A a few months ago, I was bored one night in bed so I asked my brain to wake me up at half four. I woke up at half four and couldn't for the life of me go back to sleep. Is this normal, like a personal alarm clock?

got another dream for you guys. I was inside my school, where a girl from my class was filming a clip for the Junior Eurovision Songfestival. I don't know the lyrics, but it was a slow song and really beautiful. But I had other business to do, namely to accidentally walk in front of the film twice and go to a classroom to do something for someone. The cameramen and the girl just did go on with their clip. Cut to me and my class sitting in a classroom, the girl and the crew coming in with T-shirts. She walks in front of the class and says: 'As a showing of gratitude, I will now give T-shirts to everyone participating in the making of this clip... And DVH.' she was saying the last part with a real sarcastic tone. And because you ordered now, you get a second dream FREE! I was sitting in a clothing room for some kind of dance. I do this because Zack (the one with Cody) was turned into a girl. So after a blurry piece in the clothing room, Zack turned back, so I was useless there. After escaping at the last minute, I sat down with some of my classmates and checked my iPod, which was turning off. Above the standard iPod touch shutdown circle was written: Get cake. For some reason, I walked away, and I met a teacher who said: 'Do you still want those 100 points?', then immeadeadly walked away, leaving behind a confused me. Any symbolism behind this?
