  • Done it three times now. I am looking earnestly for the 4th installment, because i'm retaining my lucidity longer each time I happen to awaken in one.

    But Goddammit when you have dreams about your job it get's hard to decipher your really not there. My mind really likes to keep the fact i'm dreaming hidden.

    Doc, i'm on to myself though. My mind better send some Hail Mary's on their merry way because i'ma comin and i'm not stoppin...

    • if you can stay up for about 40 hours i think you will be more likely to have a lucid dream when you finally sleep. you could also try putting a blue crystal under your pillow. and as for dreams that seem really real, there is usually something out of place. like you'll see a pet that you don't have anymore or an original nintendo entertainment system that you sold in a yard sale ten years ago. everything else will be exactly like your room/job/whatever real place you're dreaming about...good luck on your journeys, maybe we'll meet in a dream sometime

      • Sounds like a deal. I believe the dream world is one of the great, massive frontiers that hold the same category as the deep blue oceans and deep space. I believe the oneironauts will explore and discover great stretches in time. That blue crystal is a stellar idea.

        As a side note just plain curiosity it seems as though being sober is the only way. Would you think an inebriated individual could possibly conceive the veils to attain lucidity?

        • i think the ocean is a good metaphor, mysterious and fluid and as far as any earth-dwelling lifeform is concerned, it is also infinite. i think sobriety is imperitive. i never remember my dreams if i'm drunk, and sometimes smoking herb is enough to prevent me from having lucid dreams.

            • yeah, it seems like if i smoke every day before i go to bed that i'm less likely to remember my dreams and might go weeks without being conscious of dreams. maybe the really important ones still get through, i'm not sure. if i wake up and then go back to sleep i usually remember them though. it's best to think about your dreams as soon as you wake up, because if you get in a hurry and are occupied with your morning routine, you will probably forget them.

              • Yes of course I have done dream log work on a consistent basis for a period of about 2 months just recently back in Jan.

                I honestly have not been recording like I should in the past months here but for some reason I have had 2 lucid dreams just in the past month here without keeping a log.

                My dream recall is pretty good I remember at least one dream every night and on one occasion I remembered several different dreams. Each was divided clearly with their ending.

                I agree though it seems sobriety is the answer. I am hoping to have a lucid dream tonight here as I go to sleep.

                Oh yea...Am I dreaming?
