I’m gonna try this starting tonight. My dream recall hasn’t been too good lately so hopefully this will help. I guess I’ll just do the first 3 or 4 weeks, I’m going to work on LDs more before I get into OBEs.
Day 3
Hmmm…this is strange. I had same problem as you Raging Canadian. I’m not talking about the sleeplessness(fell asleep in 10 minutes) but that I didn’t have a dream that I can recall from last night.
Day 4
No dreams, another restless night for me . But it could have been because I had a calculus(sp?) test. Thanx to teachers convention and family day, I have a 5 day weekend so I should be able to catch up on my sleeping/dreaming.
I’m glad so many ppl are joining us on our journey through “A Course on Consciousness.” I wish all of you good luck. And remember to post your experiences here.
Im going to try this also, for the Dream Recall.
Day one was not a success for me
Took me forever to get to sleep and I had to get up at 6:30, so no dreams. Weekends are much better for dreaming.
Yeah, weekends are the best cause no school! I’m going to write a page long essay on lucid dreams tonight so I really get the idea set into my mind. I’ll also keep with the course and reality checks and the such. I’ll post my results.
Day 5
Well the brainwave generator didn’t send me into a coma although I was sooo tired. I guess I shouldn’t have doubted it and played sleep induction from wide awake in the middle of the afternoon.
Had an excellent night again. 2 very vivid dreams along with 2 smaller dreams. I was so tired and didn’t write down my dreams at 4 or 7 when I woke up but they were still there along with some new ones when I finally got outta bed at 9
Day 4
Oops. Didn’t have time to write the essay last night, but I’ll do it tonight. I did not recall any dreams again this night and the brainwave generator seemed like it worked a bit, but could’ve worked better cause my headphones I had only had one headphone! I was using the deep meditation. Oh and I was wondering, do you dreamers who are using the course wake up in the night to perform any methods?
I wake up one or 2 times depending on whether I have school. I redo the stage 1 for the day and make a halfassed WILD attempt. And the brainwave generator requires both sides of the headphones because each ear hears a slightly different frequency creating the intended frequency inside your head as a result of the 2 frequencies mixing. Any benefits from using one headphone would have been a placebo Sorry to burst your bubble but it really should be hard to find working stereo headphones
Looking back I’d say you’ll remember dreams tonite. Are dream lives are closely connected. If I don’t dream on a certain day of the course, neither will you! Mwahahaha! :evil:
Hopefully if you have a lucid dream sometime during the course I will too…
Day 6
Pretty typical dream recall, 3. But an interesting sidenote. The hypnogogic manipulations were manifested into my dreams. While it wasn’t the same meal that I had envisioned in stage 2, I did have an eating dream.
Day 7
What can I say? How bout even better dream recall than Day 2!
Did everyone leave me?
ECHO! . . . . Echo . . . . echo
PS
Tonite I start on week 2, Lucid dreams. Boo Ya!
Day 8
No lucid dreams. Recalled 2 regular dreams.
If someone has posted something else in this thread by tomorrow I’ll assume everyone has given up and keep my results to myself
Sorry I haven’t replyed lately. I had gone up north to visit some family over the weekend and I didn’t really have too much time to do any of the course. I will continue where I left off, which is Day 6 I believe. Good luck!
P.S. Even though I did not do the course over the weekend I still had a few dreams that were in fairly good detail.
Good to hear from someone else. Glad to hear you had good dreams even without the course.
Day 9
3 dreams. One was really long but got cut short when my parents woke me up to tell me they were leaving??
The tech provided in week 2 for lucid dreams is pretty much WILD. I got vibrations in the evening but not after WBTB. I like to imagine a massage to get them tactile senses “inverted”. I feel all tingly afterwards
Edit:
I just remembered another dream!! So I’m up to 3 for today. I almost got lucid in the dream. I was looking in a mirror and I had a big patchy beard. I remembered that I had shaved that day so I look back at the mirror and the beard is gone.
Edit2:
Had day 8 instead of 9
Day 6
My dream recall seems to be suffering lately I set my alarm to awaken me at about 6 to try a WBTB, but I must have unconsciously turned it off like I always do. Very frustrating. Didn’t seem to remember any dreams last night. Hoping that will soon change!
That’s when Laptops come in real handy – I can type a LOT faster than I can write! Also, instead of manually searching for a particular LD you had, if it’s on a PC or laptop, you can just do a text search, and viola, you instantly have what you’re looking for!
Ooops That post was in response to the “6 pages in the dream journal” post a few pages back.
No prob Dreamscape, we all make mistakes
Day 10
No lucids. Only one really long vivid dream recalled. Trying to repress the horrors of it . Because I had to get up and go to school I couldn’t WBTB. On my 5 day weekend I WBTB at 6:00 but today I had school so I was suppose to do it at 4:00 but. . . woke up at 6:00 cursing thinking only half an hour till I have to get up
Day 7
Success!
After about 2 months I had my 4th Lucid! What happened was I awoke at 4:45 in the morning read a book for 15 minutes and then I went back to sleep at 5:00 and lo and behold, I had a Lucid Dream! It has really boosted my motivation again and I plan on continuing this Lucid Course. Good luck to all!
