Paralysis

Lucid Dream Thoughts Hypnagogic Even though I drank last night and went to bed pretty late, I still did an EILD attempt. This time I did not woke up from the message, but I did not hear it either, so this was probably not a technique for me. I am going to start using the timer method that I used before and I am going to experiment with this until I foudn the perfect setup again. This DEILD-Alarm kind of way of inducing lucid dreams, is the best way for me to pracctise, because every awakening is an attempt. When I fall asleep I have the chance to get aware and I am more aware, because of these awakenings. But on every awakening I am in the perfect relaxed state, what people around here call sleep paralysis, but I would just call it mind awake body asleep, but I am not dreaming yet. That is the tricky part. But now I have lots of oppurtunities to pracctise just that. It will be tough in the beggining, but the more I pracctise this the easier it gets. Anyway this night I did one more attempt of meditation, and I have found that I do fall asleep, but I wake back up so it is a good way of staying aware, although it is very frustrating and uncomfortable, so I am not going to do it anymore. I had a dream about me an my family being threaten by a man with a gun. We managed to escape and we took my fathers car, but one of the sidedoors got broken. Then I do not remember anything more. I was in a mall with my friend <PERSON>. We went into a videostore, which also had videogames in it. So I just looked around, but then I saw two girls. <PERSON> and <PERSON>, my old classmates. We started to talk and they laughed to everything, so it was weird, but I did not realised that it was a dream. Then we went out of that store to grab some coffe. A girl named <PERSON> described how good coffe should taste. Then I had a dream about No Ordinary Family (I saw the last episode right before I went to bed). The timer method was something that I learned from Lucidology, but when I talked about lucid dreaming with my teacher, she said that she had have a lucid dream. I asked how did you get it? Oh I have it very often, by snoozing with my alarm clock. I said what do you do in your lucid dream? "I control what I want to dream" she said, "But do not you know that you can control that world just like you control this one?!" She was quiet for a second and then she said "Oh I have never thought about that.. I have allways thought that it is just a dream.". I will see how it goes, but this is the way of pracctise that I have worked the best for me, so I do not doubt that I will have great result. By The Way new rank on the Dream Journal software: Lucid <PERSON>!!! Wohoo.
