dream recall practice #2

i actually was able to pry myself out of bed long enough to record the dreams i could recall and ended up with four total recorded. an improvement from last night, no light poles this time though. time progression was not normal though and there seemed to be some one who in the dream was close to me but in reality is only an acquaintance..hmm i hope to start being able to point out my cues soon. having fun in the mean time!

dream recall practice

so the first night might have been good except i guess i just didn't realize how difficult it would be to get up and write out the dreams i had. i had several dreams last night and i did wake up between them but i just couldn't muster up the strength to get up and write about it. so i have forgotten just about all of them by now except i remember something to do with light poles in all the dreams...

i'm not discouraged by any means, in fact, i can't wait to try again tonight. i hope to have more discipline. 

lucid dreaming

i am all charged up right now because i recently came across a particular website called dreamviews.com that actually teaches you how to have lucid, or conscious dreams! like most people i have had lucid dreams before but never on purpose. i remember one when i was in elementary school specifically: i was playing with my friends outside. we decided to have competitions to see who could run the fastest, jump the highest ect. i quickly realized that when i had a good running start, i could jump abnormally far and high. every time i did it i would get a little higher and go a little farther. before my friends and i knew it, i was flying!

they begged me to teach them how to do this and i did. we felt unstoppable! i remember at one point getting into trouble and thinking, "i don't have to take this, i'm just gonna fly away some where," and i did. this may sound like any old dream but i know that if not consistantly at least quite frequently during this dream i was aware of my control of each situation as well as my surroundings. hence the flying bit. as a child especially, flying was something i always wanted to be able to do. this was probably greatly influenced by the fact that i watched "hook" all the time back then.) i had a couple other similar dreams like this afterwards but never as successful as i didn't have the tools and insight to develop further. so, over time, these kinds of dreams tapered off...years later, i indavertently came across this website and i couldn't be happier for it and i'm eager to get started! i will be updating regularly on my progress and such long the way.
