DrTech's Technical Ecstasy

[chris31]

The last WILD is hilarious ahahaa.  How frustrating though, unlucky.

With the eye opening to quickly stuff, do you ever seem to open your real eyes slightly while continuing to dream.  Im not sure if i did that in a lucid, or if it just seemed to happen.  Is it possible?

[DrTechnical]

So...did you actually leave a wand out?  Or is that just a dream-wand?

Congrats on the lucids.  Kind of like my last Gm night; a bunch of short ones, but for some reason I couldn't into one and make it last.

Yes, I left the actual wand out on the counter. When I WILD I always start where I left off. Everthing is exactly where I left it. This is how I pull items into my dreams. So the real wand allowed me to pull a dream wand into the scene.

I think your eyelids are immobile when you dream. Certainly your eye balls are not - and that is why lucid dream masks work. I am guessing you partially opened your eyes during a FA or something like that?

It's going to be difficult to avoid turning this dream report into something which is NOT suitable for Penthouse forum. I will try. The dream also gets very weird at the end.

My wife and I were in bed Sunday morning sharing some time together. We got on the subject of fantasies. Now fantasies are just that - very often they are not something you would actually pursue for various reasons. Now I've known for a while that she has a fantasy about being with myself and one or two of her previous guys at once. I'm cool with that, if that's what turns her on. When pressed for some additional detail however, she revealed yesterday that in those fantasies she sometimes thinks about getting it in an "alternative location"  . Well that was news to me, and later that day I told her I would need to use that data point in my lucid dreams that night 

It was galantamine night and I was expecting one or more WILDs. I had my first series of vibrations about 90 minutes after taking it. Medium followed by strong vibrations. I sat up and felt like I didn't transition. The clock was reasonable, I wasn't disoriented in any sense. I change positions on the couch (head facing south instead of north) and try again. Next time I have my vibrations I am certain I transitioned. I have trouble sitting up. I'm disoriented. I notice at least two copies of my dog on the floor and I try to avoid her. I get enough momentum to get off the couch and start walking. I have the usual floating feeling. This all subsides within a minute as the dream stabilizes.

I make my way to our bedroom. I get in and notice my wife tossing and sighing. I figure she can't sleep? On closer inspection I realize she's naked under the sheets and she's playing with herself (yes, my mind always makes it so easy). I take my pants off. They get somewhat stuck around my waist. I take my time and succeed. I get under the sheets. We kiss for a while and I make my way down a little lower. I then reach over to the nightstand for some lube. I can't find it after a thorough search. I then realize I have a handful of the stuff which has just appeared from no where. I apply some to the necessary locations  . My wife is totally into it. I tell her to turn over and get on her stomach.

OK, I'll omit a few of the details here. It was actually very hot and went on for a long time. I remember thinking I was in total control of the dream and there was no reason to wake from it. That worked well.

Here's where it gets weird. I finish and roll over. I'm just relaxing when I look over to my left and there's another woman standing there. I say "who are you?". Then I realize, it's my mom when she was in her early 20's or so. I tell me wife, "honey do you see that woman"? She doesn't. She walks over and walks right into my mom and gets absorbed by her (sort of melds into and disappears). My wife then backs out and comes back to bed. This freaks me out a little and I wake.

Interestingly, I find myself in my original position (head to the north) which leads me to believe the first series of vibrations lead to a FA and that the 2nd series of vibrations occured while I was already dreaming.

Anyhow, that was a hot dream. On the subject of fantasies, I of course shared mine with my wife as well. As data for my future lucid dreams, I gave her a choice of 4 woman from the gym she could be with. She didn't seem thrilled but did give me a "well, if it was going to happen, I would probably say L". Never enough goals to pursue in my lucids. I would have picked L too

I had a couple of fun lucids last night. They get progressively more interesting as the evening goes on ...

I took some galantamine and choline after 5 hours of sleep at 3:00 am. Stayed up till 4:00 then ultimately fell asleep around 4:40.

My first lucid was my typical galantamine induced WILD. Head vibrations for about 15-20 seconds, only one wave though. It stopped and I was unsure if I transitioned into my dreamspace. I get up and look at the VCR clock which says 4:45 or something otherwise reasonable. I look down and up again and the time is just garbage characters. I'm pretty sure I'm lucid. I proceed to the kitchen. I decide to try to float over the floor as a lucid double check. I float, then position my body face down and ultimately do a forward flip in mid air. However, I lose dream stability and wake.

The second LD was the longest by far. I find myself in a building with large glass windows and doors. The scene is discontinuous, I can't quite place what happened previously. My daughter is w/ me. I ask her "A, is daddy dreaming?". She responds "You're dreaming daddy". That's enough to covince me since she is only 3 and doesn't fully understand the concept yet. I go outside to explore. It's a beautiful day w/ blue skies. I leap in the air and start to fly. After soaring a little I simply close my eyes and enjoy the floating sensation as the wind pulls me along and I'm bathed in sunlight. I start to feel like I'm losing the dream. I open my eyes and descend to the ground. I find myself on a bicycle trail with a female rider going by. I stop her and help her off her bike and onto the ground. She has tight little shorts on and a small red sports bra. It's obvious to me that my subconcious has provided me a "present". We have sex. It's very good and she's up for anything. I never quite finish though (any of you ever have the experience where you wake a little before climaxing and your hips are pumping away when you wake?).

My final lucid was entertaining. I have another WILD. I have one series of vibrations and open my eyes on the couch. My wife comes down and I'm again unclear if I'm actually dreaming. I know one thing, interacting with her right now will only complicate things. I ignore her presence in the kitchen and head outside. I realize I'm very light and sort of floating. So I'm clearly lucid. I decide to float to the top of the big austrian pine in the front yard. It's about 50' tall. Last time when I was at the top of this tree I wanted to jump off but was hesitant. This time I get to the top and decide to jump, just for fun. My wife steps out and I say "Hey honey, check this out". I jump. Now typically when I fall in a lucid I get sort of a "matrix effect" thing going. I reach the ground, slow up and the ground sort of streches down and becomes elastic. I bounce back up all the way back to the top branches of the pine tree. I do this two more times. My wife doesn't seem to care. Then I notice the 20 something year old guy next door. I yell "Hey asshole prick next door - watch this" (we had a little altercation last year, police came but no one got arrested  )  Again I fall, get absorbed into the elastic ground and bounce back up. He doesn't seem to care either. I wake.

I had a very cool lucid last night, though it didn't involve sex or flying

I was in a car with my parents driving along a country road reminiscent of rural Pennsylvania or perhaps upstate New York. The car itself had beige bench seats. My folks were in the front with my daughter on my moms lap and my dad driving. My daughter started to complain she was feeling sick and might need to vomit. My mom offers her an ice pop and that seems to quiet her. I then see my brother B in the front seat as well in the middle between my mom and dad. Now B is 36 years old. I realize he's just a child of 4 or 5? I recognize this peculiarity and realize I'm dreaming. I study the situation. My brother is the perfect picture of what he looked like at that age. I recognize the car as our 1973 chevy Impala. This puts the scene at 1976, give or take.

Rather than take control of the situation in any sense, I decide to keep a passive role. I realize that my parents are not as young looking as would be appropriate for 1976 though they certainly look younger than present. A motorcylce passes us very quickly and I then hear sirens. I wonder if the police are looking for us or the motorcycle. My dad was a cop back then so being pulled over by the police was pretty much a non-issue. He was a liuetenant so they would typically kiss his ass. As it turned out we carried on and the police pulled over the motorcycle.

We continue to a gas station. It's very old fashioned. Something compels me to ask a very juvenille question. I ask ... "Dad, are we almost there". He scold me for being impetouous and tells me to be quiet. He gets out of the car to gas it up. I decide to make a break. The seats are now green bucket style seats. I pull the lever behind the drivers side, fold the front seat forward and leave the car. I look around to insure no one has noticed. I leap in the air to do some flying and lose the dream right at this point. I wake.

You still got to do the flying at the end of the dream

Great flow of Lucids there pal. I guess I better start taking control too. :-)

[DrTechnical]

Last night I had an absolutely wonderful lucid. If you read my post in message passing you may know that I am working on a message passing idea that is rather specific. I am trying to find other copies of myself at a specific point in my dreamspace. This point is a large rock on a beach in the town where I grew up. There are several layers to the experiment, the first of course is consistently finding myself on that beach ...

I was trying to fall asleep when I started to get rather coherent images forming around me. I was on a bed in a room I was unfamiliar with. This is not how my WILDS typically flow but I do know what to do in this scenario. I tried to get up and "step into" the scene. I made a split second decision to keep my dream eyes closed and to open them when the scene stabilizes and find myself in a specific location. I stuggled to sit up and climbed out of bed creating the physical sense that I was now in the dream. I imagine myself in my bedroom in the house I grew up in. I walk over to the door and open it. I open my eyes.

Sure enough, I'm looking into the hallway of our old house. The dream is still unstable though. I walk down the stairs. My present dog runs up to greet me. I acknowledge her and continue. At the base of the stairs I stop and just focus on dream stabilization. After 30 seconds I have a better sense of control and sensation. It's stable. I head outside. I go 30 feet in front of the house to take in the scene. The house itself looks the same. The garden has been poorly maintained and I think to myself that if this represents what the house looks like now, the new owners are taking lousy care of the place. There are layers of leafy weeds 18" high. The weeds have small red flowers. I head to the street. There's an old fashioned green bicycle I check out. I start heading to the beach. I am having a little trouble walking and decide to apply a typical non-lucid trick I use when I get the "walking through jello" sensation. I get on all fours and use my arms as well as legs to traverse the street. This works better. For some reason there are large clumps of grass all over the street? I think to myself - if someone sees me on all fours like this will they realize I'm dreaming?

I realize it will just be more efficient to fly. The beach is only 5 houses and one cliff away. I leap into the air and powerfully flap my arms. I make good progress. Now in reality, New York city is 20 miles west of our old home. In  my dream however it's different. As I gain altitude I realize Manhattan is about 3 miles to our south. As I get higher I have a fantastic view of the east river and sky line. The details of the buildings are extraordinary. The water is a crystal blue in color. I proceed North to our beach. As I get to the beach line there are more buildings which are out of place (our old town is residential by the way - lots of small houses and trees). I see a number of buildings which remind me of London on my left. To my right are other building I don't recognize. Then I hear the most wonderful sound. Waves crashing against the shore. It's been so long since I was able to appreciate this sound I was once so familiar with. It's quite windy so the waves are kicking up. The sound and sensations are so real. I decide to fly along the coast to try to find a copy of myself. I pick up very good speed as I cruise the shore.

The sensations are so euphoric that I'm tempted to close my eyes and bask in the sensations. I do. I lose myself in the feelings. The scene behind my eye lids is dark. But then, a light starts to form at a distance. It gets brighter and brighter. The scene is something like what people sometimes describe in near death experiences. It finally gets almost blinding in brightness. I then open my eyes for real and wake in a well lit room.

[annsie]

Interesting how you "saw" the light getting brighter to wake up in a well lit room. I wonder if thats your brain becoming more and more alert as it wakes up and therefore could see more of the light ?

[DrTechnical]

I tried 5-HTP for the first time last night. What a fantastic experience. I will probbaly write a post in lucid aids ...

I did my usual G/C routine w/ WBTB. The only difference is I took 150 mg of 5-HTP 6.5 hours before my LD attempts. My first LD was a WILD. I had a prolonged series of vibrations about my head. After some 30-40 seconds they subsided. I was convinced I had transitioned into my dream space. I sanity checked the time on the VCR which was simply blank. I decided to try to open a time/space portal in the wall. I usually do quite well at this. My target location was a beach near wear I grew up. This time however I had no luck decomposing the wall. I gave up and went outside. I leap in the air and start ascending. I keep going up until I break the cloud cover. I pause and then continue. I climb hundreds of feet above the bed of clouds. It's a wonderful sensation and view. As is usually the case, I close my eyes and relax in the blissful sensations. I wake (FA). I look at the end of the couch and my daughter is there. I turn away for a moment and look again. She has transformed into a small pudgy cheeked chinese girl. As try to ask who she is but can't speak for some reason. My next instinct is to throw a pillow at her. I realize I'm in the middle of a FA and decide to ignore her. I go upstairs to find my wife. I find her reading in bed. There's a big lump next to her about the size of a person. The blanket is over the lump. I wonder if her friend L from the gym is hiding under the blanket. Sure enough, I lift the blanket and L is there. Still standing I pull down my pants. L jumps out of bed, gets on her knees and starts to uh ... service me. This goes on for about 30 seconds. My wife continues to read somewhat unconcerned about what's going on. L's technique is quite good. A little too good - I wake for real this time.

I find myself on a college campus and relaize I'm out of place. I'm now lucid. I decide to enter a dorm to find a cute girl. I enter a room and find one. She's on the phone and asks me to wait. She's discussing some photo shoot she needs to do. I get impetuous and move on. I continue through the dorm and walk through a door which takes me to the living room of my childhood home. Excellent. My target location is the beach. I head north on the street. It's dark out. I have some trouble moving so a get on all fours and use my arms as well. I see a white light in human form heading my way. I say to myself "look, a specter". That is a weird word choice, since I would never use the word specter over ghost. (I looked up specter in the dictionary, it seems completely synonomous w/ ghost, does someone know of a distinction between the word usages here, it's too weird that I would use that word?). The ghost passes by wo/ giving any interest in me. I get to the cliff to the beach. It's about 75' high and a 45 degree incline. That's how I remember it. But there are new features too. The cliff has fist sized rocks blanketting the hill. There is water flowing in many locations creating a very pleasing waterfall effect. A jetty was built to create a lagoon. Many boats are moored in the lagoon. I reach the beach but wake.

I find myself in a city reminiscent of Venice. The streets are very quaint. The canal is a little large for Venice with various sailboats travelling along the water. I realize I'm dreaming. I take in the view. I realize how much I miss living on the water. I get a little emotional and actually cry a little. I regain my composure and carry on. I enter a building. The furniture in the room is very small. There is a miniature crib, a mini bunk bed, a mini door leading to outside. I squeeze throught the door and find myself on the beach in New York I've been trying to reach. However, I'm several miles west of the target location (a large rock my friends and I used to party on when we were teenagers). I jump into the air and begin to fly in that direction. I make reasonable progress. I get within a hundred yards and notice the tide is very low. I decend. I see my target rock and one other. The other is a large boulder. I see a person near that boulder. As I get closer, I realize the person is me. I'm wearing jeans and a blue polo shirt which I haven't worn in quite some time. I have sun glasses on as well. I get excited. This is exactly what I've been working toward, finding myself at this target location and trying to pass info to the version of myself from the relative past. As I make my way to myself, I get over anxious and wake  >:(

This is a very cool sequence.

Emotions not taking you from your Lucid.  Mine don't necessarily take me from them either.  Emotions can be very strong in LD/OBE

Seeing yourself at a younger age.  Very cool

I have found that it seems when I have less control over the environment it means I am in a collective environment. That there are others also who have an agreement about what is so and we all have to change it.  I have left the confines of my singular imagination.  Great job.
