Well i’ll start.
Last night i promised myself an LD was on the cards so i practiced WILD for a bit, but didn’t get any of the usual effects (loud noises, shaking etc…) so fell asleep.
Also in the past i have reached a near OBE stage, but drifted out of it through excitement/ fear ect…
I have now learnt to control this but now seem to not get to that stage anymore.
Saying that though- had an LD the other day (see post)…
All i had last night was a very strange ND in which i could print off money using a currency converter! Funniest thing was though, how it was printing off euro’s not pounds!
Will try again tomarrow and hopefully will not have to post here!
Any other stories? Sometimes the failures teach us more than the successes…
grr, last night i was soo close to a LD… i did the hold nose RC and it told me i was dreaming but for some reason i managed to convince myself that it wasnt a dream…
I hate it when that happens! Its almost as if the dream mind wants to convince you that your not dreaming.
Thats happened to me at least twice since i started trying to LD a few weeks ago.
OBE’s have a habit of fading out as well.
Once i even tried spinning, whilst going into the dream scene, because i was starting to get an OBE but everything went black.
Somehow i managed to persuade myself that i wasn’t dreaming because i felt too dizzy and ended up falling asleep… Very annoying!
Wow i had a different experience this morning i think by 5am. I had the vividest LD yet; and although i wanted to be do it by WILD restricitions but anyway i got a High LD.
For you Infinitycascade, just patience. This path needs discipline,patience and will, just don’t ever give up on what you’re doing and ignore the failure moments;trust me.
Forgetting to use a dream prolonging tech is my problem
I was on a beach, two tidal waves came along and hit me. I didn’t fall over or get hurt or anything - just stood there where I was. I thought it strange that that might happen, and did the breathing RC. I gained lucidity… merely to have my dream fade away since I forgot to spin or rub my hands
yeh once i forgot to rub my hands- i just looked at them for some reason while everything faded black, which didnt help.
I also lost lucidity once because i start to spin (during an OBE) to try to create a dream scene (as everything was black). This started to make me feel really dizzy and thinking it was real- I lost the OBE and woke up!
I should write a post- the perils of spinning!
I hate that when I’m sure I have a lucid dream on my hands and I convince myself that it’s Real Life. I’m sure my SC want’s to prevent me from having LD’s. Damn some dreams for being so realistic that all my reality checks fail. I also have trouble remembering to do hand rubbing and spinning.
I woke up at about 5:20 this morning, and figured that I should try to stay lucid as I fell asleep. I tried counting down, (10, I am dreaming, 9, I amdreaming, 8, I am dreaming…) and I got to the point where I was dreaming , lucid, that I was standing in a field with my hands over my ears, still counting: “7, I am dreaming, 6, I am dreaming…” But then I decided I was too tired, and the dream wouldn’t solidify or get any clearer, so I just gave up and went to sleep. I’m hoping tonight I’ll have better luck.
Last night I had a vivid dream, I was burshing my teeth in front of the mirror and decided to check if my mirror image was incorrect. It was exactly the way it’s supposed to be =(. (Wonder why I didn’t do a REAL RC =|)
Just about every ND I have that doesn’t become lucid has many elements I want to kick myself for not noticing.
Last night for example I was fishing and a fish pulled me off the dock and I flew 50 feet away from the dock, I went in search of the fish and could breath while I was under water. I encountered police while under water but they didn’t believe that a fish as big as mine existed.
It happened just a few hours ago when I woke up.
In the dream I was sitting in a small room at my school, and the girl next to me mentioned (*DV member’s name not included to protect the innocent *), who was acting really odd today.
So (name withheld) comes running into the room in just his/her underwear on, shouting “I am SO dreaming right now! I could light any one of you on fire right now just for kicks!” And he/she ran back out of the room and the dream ended.
Yeah. Don’t know how I missed doing a RC right then…
This dream was kinda scary and i had it during a nap earlier today.
Sorry for the horrible spelling dinte make an effort to write it down:P.
Then i went home. Sudenly allex is with me and he tells me to stop we are going to drink some
stuff that we bought on proxxi. He took forward some wierd wine glasses. I was drinking frome
mine and walking around and suddenly i kinda hit my feet on somthing and i kinda tumbeld a bit
but my glas moved in a verry wier day in my hand and i thought it wass relly wierd (Semi lucid).
I got kinda scared went back to alex to put my glass back in my back pack just to
find it full of wine glasses. The glasses just layed there not wrapped in something and
none ofb them had broke. Suddenly some white towls apeared with more glasses now i got
really scared. And when i lokked up there was this indian girl in a white suit
looking att me. She hadnt been around earlier so i was *** scared now so i did
an rc but i cant really remember the outcome. But i cant really remeber the outcome.
I still got really scared and thaught: “OMFG i am going crazy i have to get to my
dad(who is a doctor) before it gets out of controll”. So i started to walk really fast
towards home. On the way home i got more and more creped out and stareted to realize how
odd this world was. I was now allmost certain thhat i was in alternet reality
but not definetley a dream . It was right now that i woked upp. Kinda wierd feeling
did all the RCs in da book to be certain that i really was awake.
i got sooo close to a LD las night but i pussied out and was to scared, i felt the shakin sensation and my body was paralysed but some how i shook myself out of it and woke up . I have never come close to an LD since then
I said this to my mother in a dream last night: “This is just like in that dream where the waves hit our house!” And that is a dream which usually turns lucid.
Of course. I try WILD every night and I’m sure it some how gets me into a more dreamy mood. But it just doesen’t work like it should. I’ve never even seen HI before. Well it’s the weekend now, I usually have better luck when I don’t have to get up in the morning.
