Maybe I’ve used the wrong expressions. I’m not the brightest button on the shirt!
From reading his accounts and comparing them to my ‘run-of-the-mill’ dreams, he seems to expand his environment to include other dreamers/real people (either alive or dead). Whilst I can’t vouch that everyone I’ve met is self-created, the majority of my DCs are autonomous and robotic, leading me to believe they are solely created by my mind. I want to move away from that personal silly stuff and delve into something more interesting/absorbing/‘not me’ if that makes more sense? Whether that’s still me in my own mind, but perhaps a little deeper than normal is, I suppose, a moot point. But that’s the essence of what I meant.
No doubt I’ll relearn more as I continue to read the book. I think I’ve forgotten a lot of what he wrote. I would also like to get more of his dreaming books - do you have any recommendations?
Hi again Tambourine Stream,
The book you have is more than enough.
But I would recommend that you download in PDF the “Bardo Thodol” and see comments of it by Timothy Leary and Aldus Haxley. It is an apocalyptic book (the Tibetan book of the Dead) filled with authoritative “Anamnesis” -to use an ancient Greek word loved by Robert Moss-.
I think that this book is a true legacy for mankind, it is an ode to primal light, and is beyond all religions as it derives from a religion without God.
I am very happy you exist, and I wish you Joy!

Hi !
I had only one LD yet. I think it was kind of a beginners luck, as it was only three days after I started trying to have one. Now it’s been a few months without new success, but I keep hoping Or should I say, I’ll have one tonight.
So far what I would like to do is try some of the “classical” experiences:
fly, skydive
have sex with a sexy girl
transform into some animal
Modify time speed
create a world
Then when I master them, I would like to combine them, like for instance:
Skydive in tandem with a girl and have sex in the air
Transform into a bird and fly
Have sex as an animal
Slow the time when doing one of the above
a big combo would be to create a world in which I can control time, then transform into a flying animal and have sex in the air.
Also, a curious one would be to transform into a girl, and then go in bed with… Me (the manly Me).
Nice! I like that first one. I’ve historically had a morbid fascination with self immolation. I imagine the dream version is a lot less unpleasant
I’d like to fly and visit the event horizon of a super massive black hole…the kind thought to be at the center of every galaxy. I bet it’s quite a show from the dreaming perspective!
In my last LD I made it to a town I’m writing about Now I want to talk to two fictional characters I want to write about. I’m just curious, is my SC able to create an own story? And how much I have to desire it or already know about my own story? I’m just excited to figure out how well or not well this will work
A year later, and I only briefly met a character from my novel and visited a town similar to Bruma. My focus is still on dream characters. Besides meeting special DCs, I’d like to confront one of my anomalous/independent characters. I also want to practice being comfortable in all kinds of dream settings, the same way I’m comfortable with snowy landscapes.
So I’m still new to this and have had only marginal success, but once I get better at lucid dreaming, here are some things I’d like to do:
*Have a steampunk adventure
*Experience life as the opposite sex
*Live in Disney’s Atlantis for a day
*Be an Avatar (both as in a blue alien and a bender)
*Paint with all the colors of the wind
*Go into a Pokemon game and jump over one of those stupid, tiny walls
I would like to befriend my subconscious and promise the subconscious to see me every night. And i think this is the best technique to lucid every night by blackmailing subconscious mind
Some lucid to-do list:
1)Talk to multiple DC and choose a perfect one to be my CALD
2)Build a whole city and meet it every time i dream(DC could govern the city while i would be irl awake
3)Visit places i have never visited before
4)Be a superhero
5)Try all the powers combined
6)Meet my Subconscious and talk to it
7)Make trusty friends with my SC (you could trust then more than real ones)
8)Be a fiction
9)Tell a CALD person to remind me to do stuff irl and make me LD
10)Experience life as a girl
11)Perform Magic
More so far
Change climate
Fly on a cloud
Make houses on clouds
Visit characters through a portal like a mirror or tv
Fly around of course
Be a book
See what is like to be a object maybe like the sun
Astral project
Be a ghost
Be someone else
Try and be a villian ,not too mean!Just want to see
Try and be a hero
I like this one. I’ve been amazed, intrigued and inspired by these fantasy worlds you can mostly find on wallpapers like sky castles.
Another similarly awesome one is building a house on the sea, in the middle of nowhere. Or in the middle of a lake on a still surface. It’d be an awesome place for meditation.
