13th March 2012

WBTB with G/C (4mg + 350mg)

After 4 hours sleep I wake up and go back to bed. I managed to pass straight into a dream where I was in bed on my laptop, but unfortunately forgot what I was doing so I was not lucid. I was talking to my friend S on facebook chat and she is telling me about this new Minecraft mod, which I look up online. It is something to do with trees and vines although I'm not sure exactly what the point of it was. She then told me my housemate C says hello. C was not online on facebook so I assumed she wanted me to go and say hi. I leave my room and notice that D's door is open (a different housemate).

This isn't right...it's like 4am why would his door be open and light on. I go back into my room to think a little. Maybe I'm dreaming? I pinch my nose and I can still breathe through my left nostril...Hmmm....Still unconvinced, I try again and the same thing happens. The world seems so realistic I just assume that I wasn't doing the RC right, so I decide to do the finger through palm one instead. I push my finger and it goes straight through! Oh wow, I was dreaming. I had forgotten how convincing G could be. I take a look around trying to see what I could do in my room that I can't do IWL. I don't see much that appeals to me so I decide to try and go through a wall in the hopes of getting a new scene. However as I stare at the wall I get a little scared that it won't work, as I haven't been having the best success. I decide to abandon that idea and go and talk to D, maybe I can find out why his door was open, it could be a sign. However as I leave the room I have a false awakening.

I jot down what just happened in my DJ, which already has some other text on it even though I start a new page every day. I then find myself on my laptop again talking to S. She is telling me something about her dog, either it is it's birthday or it just died, I can't remember which. At this point I actually wake, and can't get back to sleep for the night.

As great as GM can be, I actually don't see a huge improvement compared to my regular lucids. I believe it gives me a better chance of actually becoming lucid, but the quality is no different. I don't think I'll buy any more after this runs out. I also think that I may be taking too much choline, so I will probably cut it in half next time I do supps, leaving me with 125mg from the C pill and 100mg from the GM.

As far as dreaming goes, I'm happy that I am becoming lucid much more often now, and I have already reached my goal for March so the rest of the month is a bonus
:D

I always try to remember to RC when I'm taking dream notes.  Journal-triggered lucids, you knos!

Yep.  Goodness knows we don't have nearly enough -ILDs yet.

Hi Bluebird. I'm going back a bit but I wanted to ask.
I saw a wolf, first of all standing still and then it started to run. It became clearer and clearer. I then imagined myself to become the wolf and I did. I was running along some grass, I could feel all 4 of my legs kicking but I still couldn't see anything except the grass I was standing on. Either the dream ended or I lost lucidity[/color] and recall no more.

     Rhapsode and I have become wolves and I was wondering if you read our conversation in my DJ, before you became a wolf.
I wasn't going to ask, but I'm just too curious. There seems to be a rash of spontaneous wolfings going around. In any case, welcome to the pack.

You are clearly kicking ass at lucid dreaming and I'm inspired by the open and effective way you have utilized this this site.

Hi Greg, as far as I can remember I haven't read anything specific between the two of you about wolves, but I was aware that at least one of you had turned into a wolf (can't remember who or if it was both as I get everyone muddled up) so yes, that might have effected my dream. I'll let you know if I have any more canine experiences too :)

Thanks for your support, I would be nowhere without the people on here so I am always grateful to everyone :)

Over tiredness before bed means my recall wasn't that great today (12 hours sleep)

14th March 2012

Fragment: I see lord Voldermort lying on his back dead. He is naked and covered in some really strange tattoos.

---

Fragment: I am with my sister and mother in some sort of marketplace (might be the supermarket I see in the dream later) There is lots of stands for all sorts of things but I see one that says "Lucid dreaming and other dream related" and it is covered in all sorts of books. Most of these books are quite old and tatty, but I think that there could still be lots of useful info in them. The woman at the stall was not very helpful, she just stood there and stared at me while I looked at which book I wanted to buy.

---

Me and some friends are heading into liverpool for a night out. Someone orders a taxi but a big coach comes instead, with some people already on it. We get on and struggle to find seats. Later on we are in liverpool and for some reason there is a "rival gang" after us. We have been digging in a minecraft cave and find diamonds so it is our job to keep those safe from the bad guys. We hide in a barber shop but eventually the bad guys find us and we run away to somewhere else. I can't remember the shop but I do remember it was a very strange place, and should have been a good time for a RC.

We go to a bar which I have dreamt about before (whether it exists or not I don't know...been a while since I went to liverpool) and it has some sort of supermarket and toilets attached. Something happened to me and I have a huge piece of chewing gum stuck in my mouth so I go to the toilet to get it out. When I step in, there is some sort of a ticket man collecting people's tickets. I recognise him as one of the rival gang members but I do not say anything and I manage to walk straight past him. This place is really weird, the supermarket just transitions into toilets, and when I go to the mens toilets there is a woman in there shouting things...she must be drunk.

I am in a cubicle pulling and pulling at this piece of chewing gum but it just keeps on coming. Then all the walls of the cubicles drop down to a tiny height so I can see the person next to me. I accidentally get chewing gum on his side and I apologise. Eventually I get most of the gum out and head back to the bar. On leaving the supermarket place, I see 3 old friends who I know are in Manchester not Liverpool. I think "wow what are the odds of seeing them here", but no lucidity comes from this. When I am back with my friends, I start thinking "Wait a minute...Last time I was in liverpool this was a dream". I can feel my real body starting to wake up, but I am intent on staying in the dream and trying to become lucid. Alas, it failed and I just woke up, and after all that sleep there was no chance of a DEILD.

Your SC is working on dreaming all the time!  :bowdown:  The book was a nice touch. 

Thanks Moonbeam :) I hope you are right
