MoSh's Dreaming goals.

[Man of Shred]

Gosh! I have so many! maybe that's why i am having trouble LDing regularly?

 anyway,

- Master the drill of CC's first gate of dreaming

- Master the drill of the second gate.

- Go to an inorganic realm

- Master the 2 drills of the third gate of dreaming

- Try the twin positions.

- Perfect the art of opening portals.

-Actually complete a forum lucid task

 - Make my non lucid dreamshares more consistent and down to a science.

- meet with my spirit guides and actually have a lucid conversation with Q

- Change myself into a Girl and have lesbian fun with a  dc.

- Become a dream casanova in my LDs

- Find out where the Soul of J.S. Bach Resides in dreaming. I imagine him in a large cathedral with a gigantic organ. he's been composing non stop there for the past 300 years. I want to use the twin positions to stay in that place long enough to learn an entirely new composition from him on the guitar. and then remember the piece entirely upon awakening.

 - Become an Avid fighter in dreams, I know some of you DSer's love to have a good fight

- Intend my serpent form in dreaming and fully remember it. learn to control it.

- Dream about a scene or two from a past life.

- Find someone in a dream and then meet them In real life the next day.

Edit: More tasks

- Go through a mirror.

-See a rainbow. (thanks rainbow!)

 - Go to a star trek dream to seek the Bajoran Orb of Prophecy and change, and have an Orb Experience.

It looks like this:

Wow that is a lot of goals.   I know what you mean.  It's cool when you can cross them off the list.

[Man of Shred]

well I've already had lucids attempting these goals. no success yet.

 trying the 3rd gate:

Dream 5: I'm in a bathroom. it's stinky and messy. I walk towards a urinal and spot Spiderman clutching the ceiling. I become lucid and he asks my help in catching someone. That someone is hiding in one of the stalls.

I open all the stalls and find no one there. Spiderman also has vanished. I spot a face coming out the top part of the wall by the row of stalls. I recognise it as an IB. Without thinking i point at with with my pinky and voice my intent to see energy. Nothing happens at first. "I WANT TO SEE ENERGY!" I yell. I watch the IB fall out of the wall and lands as a glob on the ground. "I want to see energy" i say again. It morphs slowly into a large man witha big gut and a plumber outfit. He begins glowing green. "I want to see energy!" i yell again. He is glowing more green but he walks toward me. he expands around me and I wake up.

 First gate:

Lucid from nov 19
Lucid Beach: I Don't know when i became lucid or how. But i was on a beach. i could feel the dream fading. My brother was there and I told him that he should put out his smoke because the dream was ending.

I walked away from him and noticed others on the beach. The whole dream seemed transparent. I managed to look at my hands. They were mine. I spotted a DC so i face him and just looked at my hands in front of him. He just went "WTF???" and walked away.

I decided to do what Nomad suggests about doing nothing. So i just kept looking at my hands and meditated. I kept looking and flipping them over.

 Trying to open a portal:

 Dream 4:I'm in some dark room and I am lucid. I remember i wanted to open a portal. The dream was becoming unstable so i looked at my hands for a boost. The dream stabalised enough to make sense of where i was. There was a blond woman looking at  me look at my hands. I payed no attention to her however.

 I tried focusing on my feeling of Raven knight. I couldn't find it. I looked around and saw no portal had opened. I then decided to try going to the moon. I focused on "moonlight Sonata" I heard the opening piano lines clearly. I looked around again. No portal. The dream then destabalised.

[Naiya]

Wow, Mosh, that's ambitious! Maybe I should add more goals to my thread too.

[Seeker]

I've been working for years on CC's tasks, not had a whole lot of luck with it.  I especially want to see people as luminous eggs!

Good luck in your goals!

- Master the drill of CC's first gate of dreaming

Is this CC = Carlos Castaneda? In which does this consist?

[Man of Shred]

Thanks for the comments.

 The first gate is simply maintaining the view of the dream to stabalise it. This is done by making quick glances at everything in the dream. When the objects don't change the dream becomes more stable. This also stops the dream plotline from following it's previous non lucid course. When things get unstable while practicing the gate look at your hands to get a lucid boost.

 The idea of this gate is to fixate your attention on that dream in particular, so that your attention isn't distracted and moves elsewhere. in a way it feels like a dream meditation when you perform it.


 I updated a few of my tasks.

The things I'm learning... Thanks for the insight!

Thank you for the directions. It definitely won my attention.

[Bro]

Best of luck continuing to accomplish these Mosh!
I'd really like to learn to "open a portal"..I've heard there's countless possiblities with those. I think before that though I've got to get more stability in my LDs first. :p

It seems i can cross the portal one off the list:

Finding PJ

I don't remember how i became lucid. The dream was fading fast and I remembered I had wanted to find PJ. I focused on PJ until a portal opened in front of me. At the other end of the portal I saw a man there. A woman was with him that might have been Raven. I wasn't sure. I was wondering if it was really him. I tried to go through the portal when i found myself in sleep paralysis.

I was in a dream bed and bedroom. I was frozen. I heard some laughing. It reminded me of Freddy Kreuger. Was he the one who had frozen me? Then i realized the laughter was coming from within me. "HUH HUH HUH HUH HUH HUH" it went. I tried to ride it out and focused on entering a different dream. But I can't remember what happened after that.

crossing Naga form and going through a mirror off the list.


Strange building

I'm walking out of a pyramid in a line of people dressed for a funeral. I am invisible so no one notices me. I forget I am invisible. I notice that outside the pyramid we are in a grand hall in a gigantic building. I stop to look at the pyramid we just came from... it's blue and is a scaled down pyramid to the great pyramid in Egypt, beside it is a smaller white pyramid. I point at it and yell at everyone "LOOK! we just came from a pryramid!" No one seems to hear me though.

at the end of the grand hall is some steps. I go there with the group. An elderly woman in a black shall and veil walks past me. she looks sad and doesn't notice me even though I am right in her face. Another elderly woman dressed the same is behind her. She seems to see me though and puts my arm in hers. She has a warm glow and I realize that we are married. She smiles at me while we walk silently, but then my attention is drawn to a door. As if forgetting her, I leave her side and walk in the door.
It's a small door but i fit through perfectly.

I enter the room lucid forgetting what just happened. It is modelled after my basement suite. but everything is ten times bigger. The walls are wood paneling. I walk through the room thinking of what to do next. My attention is drawn to various Dream characters. I try to interact with them but they take no notice of me. I walk into my bedroom and someone is watching a television where my computer should be. I wave my hand in front of him but he doesn't see me.

I enter the living room again and begin to fly. I fly normally and then intent my Naga form. I wiggle my hips to imitate slithering. This propels me through the air very smoothly. I then try using my wings. I feel an extra set of shoulders on my back. I can feel them moving back and forth. This causes me to glide fast around the room. I circle it once and then land in front of the kitchen. I begin to wonder if my dreambody changed at all while I flew. I leave the kitchen remembering there was someplace i had wanted to go to. At first i thought maybe i should find the healing glen but insstead I knew i had to find my inner world... (not realizing i was already in it).

There was a TV on the right wall and a smaller TV on the wall in front of me. the one in front of me was amber in color. I put my finger on the screen and wondered it I could go through, would it serve as a gate to my inner world? After a slight bit of force my finger began pushing through the screen. It felt like I was touching electric liquid. I then said to myself "To my Inner world!" I went through the screen feeling electric all over! I felt myself waking up in another bed, i had woken up for real.



Mirror Lucid.

I was in my kitchen doing dishes. It felt like a dream. I stopped doing the dishes right away. I looked at my hands. They looked swollen... i looked for a wedding ring. Didn't see one. I wondered if Asuka was around. Usually she is right behind me. I turned to look but she wasn't there. I wanted to call out but I was afraid I would use my real voice. I turned around again making sure I turned slowly so I didn't spin myself out of the dream. No Asuka.

I then wondered if this really was my inner world. I wanted to open a portal to find it. I then remembered Vex Kitten once used a glass as a portal. I went up to a wall and put my finger against it trying to push through. Nothing. Maybe I should use a mirror? I spotted a hallway and began walking down it. I then noticed I had an extra set of legs. My dream legs were walking but another set of legs were crossed and dragging on the floor. I found a washroom and turned into it. As I turned I uncrossed my legs. Then instead of walking I seemd to float around.

I found a small mirror. small enough to fit my fingers through. I pushed my index against the mirror. It went through! the mirror felt like it was liquid. But there was no wetness. I then pushed all my fingers through Until my hands were on the other side. I realised the mirror was too small for me to fit through all the way. So I found a larger mirror on the other wall. I then thought to myself "To my Inner world." and then went through. On the other side i was waking up in a bed. but it was my real one.

Aww, that was close! pj is hard to find, in dreams.
