Fuck this shit I can't get into a lucid dream.
No, wait, I can. But I realize this is a dream and I get able to control it around two seconds before its end. Fuck.
Yeah, I get that all the time on days where I sleep in and I'm not quite done yet, but I can't fully sleep either. I love it. Wish I could go lucid.
I gave up these past few months, last entry in my dream journal is from early October. Lately I've been remembering my dreams a lot. It may sound stupid, but it may have something to do with me sleeping with a pillow between my legs and hugging another. Woke up like that one day somehow and found it comfortable, and ever since started doing that when I sleep.
Since I did that though, I can offhand remember like 6 dreams, and I would remember more if I had written them down. Noticed a few dream signs, too. So it strangely seemed to help dream recall, and in some way I feel like I keep waking up in the middle of it though I get better sleep as well. Dunno, it's strange. Maybe I should try lucidity again.
Don't know why I just ranted like that. Hrm. Tired, I guess.

("Dusk" thing I mean, I get that.)
I had the most vivid dream I can remember last night, I dreamed I was driving a car next to this big bridge, on the horizon I see a mushroom cloud and a shockwave heading in my direction, being the intelligent person I am, I got out of the car and started running away from it, got into an alley between some buildings just in time to look back and waking up as I was hit by the shockwave.
Zin, I'd say keep the name as sleep and dreams, because so often we just post about our progress with dreams, and notable dreams, not just our lucid dreams. Would be a shame to cut the general dream-sharing from the thread.
im gonna make the next op it'll read like this
"step 1 go to sleep
step 2 wake up write it all down have fun!!!"
Okay, if i were to do a FILD, would this be what i should do?
1. set the clock alarm at approx. after 3 hours of sleep, and go sleep.
2. Wake up, the alarm interrupted my REM. I would not move, and i would wait for the alarm shut down.
3. I would simultaineusly press my index finder and raise my middle finger with small movements.
4. after 30 seconds, i would do a realitycheck and find out im dreaming.
Am i right?
Hey Zin, does it matter what position I lay on when I sleep or just my most comfortable? There's also a problem with this. I have to turn over a couple of times before I can sleep, is this normal or not? I've never seen anyone else sleep before.
One note to all. May or may not help. I had a drink of apple juice before I went to sleep because I was reading about b12 (b6?) and I remembered 5 dreams when I woke up and they were the most vivid I have ever had.

That's about right, yeah. You don't necessarily have to do it WBTB, you can do it going to bed normally, like a WILD. But whatever works for you is best.

Definitely sleep in your most comfortable position. I go to sleep on my stomach with my head turned one way and one of my legs bent with the foot resting on the side of my other leg's knee. It sounds uncomfortable as hell, but it's just how I sleep. Comfortableness = most important thing.
And yeah, most people readjust an average of four times before they fall asleep.
Vitamins are good.
I think theres some sort of connection between my emotions and which side I sleep on.
...havnt quite figured it out yet.
[QUOTE=Zinayzen;26348446]Also, I need a list of the top 10 questions people inevitably ask. Anyone want to help me out with that?[/QUOTE]
Nope.avi
I don't want to be burdened with being poetic :saddowns:.
Im taking a hiatus from games so I can get what little shard of an academic career I have left back into order.
also, I had a dream about smoking marijuana. It was good, but not really good. Must have been cheap dreamweed.
yeah...... I woke up to my mom's weekly guilt trip and the first thought that crossed my mind was "oh shiiiiiiit she found the weed"
[QUOTE=Zinayzen;26353070]Look, here's the deal. People come here looking for advice. I'm the most qualified person to give advice, so I give it. It's kind of "my thing". I don't care if other people also give advice, as long as they're qualified to give it, but I still want people to defer to me for a second opinion, because this is important stuff and it can be fucked up easily.
Also, it's my thread and I can do what I want, I can be an asshole because people will listen to me anyway, the truth hurts, etc.[/QUOTE]
Legit asshole?
^ makes no sense
It just snowed a shit ton today and I folowed a friend to his house (he was afraid his giant red flatbed truck would die). In my arrogance I didnt lock the hubs so I couldnt use 4wd even if I wanted to. AC/DC started playing on the radio and I couldnt help but spin out at every turn.
I fucking love winter.
hhhhmmmmm I need more mt dew.
[QUOTE=creec;26384332]Legit asshole?[/QUOTE]
): I am offended, creec. I'm a nice guy who just has some issues. I really just want a friend. Will you be my friend?
Anywho, guys. Here's another question...should I do some videos instead of trying to do the OP with text? I can talk better than I can type...
I lucid dream a lot without even trying, hell I even tell the residents of the dream "This is a dream you're not real" and they argue with me that it isn't.
I just agree with them and move on, pretty funny looking back at it.
I've also dreamed of posting on facepunch, later getting banned for the thread I made. Before that I fell up and down the stairs, somehow, then back down again where the computer was.

Just do whatever you think will inform and work the best.
Huh, this is interesting. My friend's having a conversation with my ex, apparently she wants me to know a couple things.
[editline]30th November 2010[/editline]
Apparently some dude ate her out yesterday. Why did I need to know that.

No offense but why do you continuously bring unrelated shit into your thread? Because people will listen to what you say and inevitably comment on it to suck up? "This is my thread" Is an invalid reason.

Allow me to answer in a obscenity-laden haiku.
Because I can, bitch.
It's my thread, shut the fuck up.
One two three four five.
To give a more psychological answer, though, it's because it's a way for me to deal with my problems in a less involved way. posting shit on facepunch and having other people sympathize, honestly or otherwise, is really helpful for me. Especially when it's a situation where people I know who could physically help me can't know about said piece of information. It's like virtual group therapy for me, and it works, somehow.
Also if I give a particularly scathing interpretation, you guys will know if I'm going through something or if that was earnest.
Seems like this thread is at least a small part of his emotional life.
Could be completely wrong there though.

Make a blog.
I don't need to, dude.
People here care, so I rant.
You don't like it? Leave.

So uh...yeah. I'm making some changes in my life, and less computer time is one of them. I'll be on even less frequently than usual, so remember to mark questions with "Zin" and I'll be able to find and answer them. Yeah.

I know it, and pardon me for making it look like i'm thinking badly about you.
Simply meant that you are technically a legit asshole as you said yourself.
Just nevermind, it was not intended to be offensive. Kinda tried to make a joke and failed.

I'd doubt the idea.
People say things to feel better.
It is only nature.
You'd best live up to what you say.
On topic, when I meditated today (drift, drown and breathe), I saw a storm :smug:. Earlier(like 2 days maybe) I had a dream where the environment was like fallout new vegas, orange rocks everywhere. I had this pool. After a while of doing whatever, I went back to the pool and there was this giant mosquito attacking me. I grabbed its legs and dragged it down into the pool and made it drown. Then in the water, I caught some bugs. Nothing significant. I then went up and noticed there was a storm above. I was being sucked into the storm. As I got sucked in, I held on to a metal bar. I closed my eyes.
End of dream. ZIN
i use refrigerator at the end of haikus
I had a lucid dream.
I was riving a small blue Bugatti Veyron.
This was my thought process, exactly:
[code]oh cool, Ive got a sweet car
Ima get on the freeway
oh crap im going the wrong way
oh shit a cop is after me
1+1=8
OH OK I GET IT IM DREAMING
stabilize...
ok cool what do I do now
[/code]
I lost lucidity :saddowns:
hey Zin, I have a lot of dreams where Im stuck in 3rd person view of a driving car (video game style). My last two LD's I have lost lucidity to this fact. Any advise on how I can keep lucidity in this situation?
LD count:8 (none longer than a minute)
[editline]30th November 2010[/editline]
1+1=8
it just flashed across my feild of view in the dream and it made me know i was dreaming
I had a really weird dream last night. My dad and I were walking around our neighborhood, and we found a German Shepard tied to a pole. We decided to untie it and while he was deciding what to do with it, I took it for a walk. A few minutes later my dad comes up to me and says that we're going to euthanize it, for whatever reason. Being the dog lover that I am, I ask if we can keep it or just give it to some animal shelter. He says no. All of a sudden it turns into a sort of video game, except I'm actually in it and not the person playing it (if that makes sense). I decide to run away with the dog, but not before shooting my dad in the head (I'm not sure why I did this or where I got the gun, but he didn't die).
As I'm running, he catches up and shoots me a few times, and suddenly the dog is in my inventory (which I didn't even know was possible). I keep running and find a liquor store that we used to go to a lot, but no one was there. I keep running and find another store and hide out there. For whatever reason, Billie Piper is suddenly there with me. I decide to start breaking the bulbs on a lamp, but I have no idea what I was trying to accomplish by doing this. My dad, some family members, and other random people come running in.
I start arguing with my dad, and at first the others with him also wanted to kill the dog, but then they wanted to keep the dog alive. Obviously this made him mad, so he took the lamp that I was breaking and took it behind the counter. He was about to hook it up and I said "But wait, the radiation will kill everyone!". How a regular lamp would do this I have no idea, just go with it. So Billie and I begin running, he plugs it in, and a few seconds later everyone's head blows up, and apparently this created a shockwave that launched us through a wall and into a back room. I open my eyes and there's a [B]zombie on top of me[/B]. I kill it and look around the room, Billie is basically just a skeleton with a face now, I'm not sure why. Another zombie comes running towards me, I pause, hit "Exit to Windows", and wake up.
Pretty weird dream.
