Boom

So far, there have been 10+ recorded dreams throughout this 14 day trial. So where does the newest one fit in? Let us just go over that real quick. And yes I know this is a little late. Accidentally forgot to turn on "Publish On" when I was working on this post. Day 14: Fell asleep at: 11:00 Woke up at: 6:35 Dream 10: Double Digits, Finally! The dream plays out much akin to a cutscene from Sonic Mania. Sprite-based animation is at the forefront, and animations are smooth and crisp. There is a gardener tending to 5 differently looking flowers, all of them red in color. The gardener is planting the last flower, a star-shaped one called the "Flower of Paranoia". I do not understand why it was given that name, but it did look pretty cool. Anyways, so far there have been: 6 school related dreams 4 home related dreams 4 video game related dreams And 7 abstract locale dreams A lot of these dreams kind of weave together into the same dream, and as such are counted in more than one category. Both my school and my home are prominent locations in my dreams, as well as video games. Now, I do not know how I can identify those more abstract dreams in locations I have not really been to before, but I can safely say that doing a RC and staying more aware during both school and when playing video games are prime times to have them. I read on <URL> that, when utterly immersed in a video game or movie, to occasionally pull yourself out of that state of mind and observe your surroundings. Dreams are often quite like watching a movie, and taking this approach helps a ton. This is the link to that specific article I am talking about:<URL> So far, there have been no false awakenings, lucid dreams, or sleep paralysis episodes. Kind of disappointing honestly, since I am about a month overdue for my lucid. Usually I can muster at least once a month, but umm... not this month.

#339 - DILD - 6:53AM This was another one of those LDs where I somehow believe a false reality. I guess lucidity was low here. I am playing a side scrolling video game where I am playing as

Introduction I got up far too early this morning and decided to go back to sleep and lucid dream. It took me a while to fall asleep again after waking up. I used the usual MILD strategies -

4/22/13 I got into bed and just decided to go through my usual process for WILD instead of turning off completely. There are a lot of naps I take where I just practice going to sleep instead

No recall, zero, for the last 2 nights. Had a strange one last night not sure how to classify it! 1) I was talking to my wife in bed, she said something about throwing a pillow (or cushion?)

It all started normal, just a random dream where elephant eggs (looked like big frog eggs) were the best thing to eat, it was some chinese food but amazing. So after a while the eggs were go

I have decided to continue sharing my dreams here. I have learned new things and learned better ways to improve my chance of lucidity and maybe the real secret of WILD, ok maybe not, but it

Has this happened to you?

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.

Tell us what you saw

Know someone this happened to?

If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
