I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?

Aug 25th 8:47AM Lucid Dream

I have some sort of internal alarm or something because any night I feel like I’m going to try to lucid dream, I end up waking up between 4:30 and 5:30AM.. Pisses me off because I always set my alarm for 6:00AM XD

Something I also discovered is that for binaraul beats you need headphones but for isochronic beats you don’t. Didn’t know this until about a week ago.

So I fall asleep with some iso’s on and all I remember is:

I’m in a car, speeding past some cops but I don’t give a fuck because: dreams. (My attitude in most dreams is atrocious sometimes lol). I’m heading towards a tunnel but before the tunnel is a sharp turn and a brick wall. I know I’m going entirely too fast but fck it because: dreams, I guess lol I’m inches from smacking into a brick wall when BAM it hits me: I must be dreaming!

Everything stops. I’m pulled right out of the car and into the air.. What a lovely feeling as always. I’m not flying on my own though I’m just being pulled through the sky.. I look down and I see cities, clouds.. I appear to be on a huge planet that is facing away from the sun. This planet though had many many continents. That’s how I knew it was big. They were all spread out like islands though.. I thought I was going to be pulled into space but I was being pulled to a location. I felt it. I was about to be put down when I woke up. I couldn’t rub my hands together to prolong the dream because I didn’t have any hands! lol

I searched google to find something that is similar to what I saw and I found this:

“This is the newly-spotted Kebler 22-b, a rocky planet with oceans covering two-thirds of its surface, and balmy temperatures approximating 70 degrees.. In a solar system 600 light years away..The planet, Kepler-22b, is 2.4 times bigger than Earth, orbits a star slightly smaller than our sun and has an average temperature of 22C. It is also closer to its sun-like star, giving it a “year” of 290 days.”

Aug 26th Lucid Dream

Kind of a lucid nap actually.. Two things stood out about this dream. 1.This was a particularly vivid dream. 2. Before I recognized I was dreaming I was playing with someone. We were playing with a small garbage and a hairbrush? We were playing basketball though. So weird.

I became aware because all the while I was falling asleep I kept reminding myself “I’ll be dreaming soon”.. This works pretty well when you do it in spaced out intervals.. I kind of wake myself up when I do it. When I feel myself falling asleep, I wake myself up just a little bit and remind myself: I’ll be dreaming soon..

So I’m playing brush and garbage (lol) and I snap out of it like “holy hell I’m dreaming!” When I became aware everything became… normal lol At first it was fuzzy until I noticed that I was playing in my hallway with someone I’ve never met before. I don’t even remember their face. Anyway, my head, it felt like it was pulsating. Like it was pulsating with the dream. It felt like I wasn’t in the dream but that I was the dream..

I’ll try to explain.. I looked at my hands and arms and everything seemed normal.. I would’ve never known I was dreaming.. Here’s what I meant by I felt I was the dream: When I tried to stand up, it felt more natural for me to move myself with my mind(?) You know how you go swimming and every subtle move you make can cause you to glide? Sort of like that. I felt like I was swimming in my dream.. But it was more distinct than that.. When I stood up it felt like the dream corrected me.. I didn’t have to move a single “muscle” on my body to move, I just thought of moving. In retrospect it was pretty fucking amazing.

So I mind-glided to my front door and tried to go through it: not happening. It was as solid as it felt in waking life.. lol I need to practice more. I forgot all of my objectives. I’m supposed to be reliving memories and trying to adjust a psychological issue I feel I have and here I am trying to walk through doors wondering why it’s not working XD It’s just that whenever I’m lucid it’s not just the dreamscapes that are different and questionable but the feeling of the dreams and the dreams themselves seem to differ very noticeably. I sometimes get lost in exploring the tiniest details and feelings..

Anyway I mind-glide up stairs because I hear music and I think “well maybe I’ve astral projected or something everything seems to be perfectly the same..” I glide upstairs and the door is open the girl that stays upstairs is in the kitchen, I wonder what she would look like if she were thinner and now I know.. She changes into what I was wondering about then becomes invisible.. she had a bag in her hand but that was still visible, and her actions are still visible. She puts the bag of cereal, I’m guessing it was cereal, back on the counter and I don’t know where she went lol she was invisible still.. I woke up.. That shit cray lmao

Just woke up from a damned Obe.. Question:

Do you ever have obe’s where it’s like some damn abstract painting? I felt myself separate and heard someone knocking at my door but then I could barely move. So I thought about moving instead of trying to move and I floated out of bed. Then bam this crazy pain in my head.. It started to feel like it was being pumped up like a balloon. I could barely concentrate and then I woke up and I feel perfectly fine.. This is the second time something like this has happened to me. I can never become fully conscious enough to examine what in holy hell is happening lmao

Have you had something similar happen?

August 13th Lucid dream practice

I think I understand the wake back to bed method fully now. A mix of the mild technique, gentleness and patience with yourself and I have no doubt anyone can lucid dream. The only other issue I have is this seems to be the only way for me to lucid dream easily. I find it rather difficult to induce a lucid dream through regular sleep. I actually think I’ll leave those dreams alone and produce my lucid dreams separately.

Also, earlier this morning at 9am I was drifting back to sleep, after waking up at 5:44 and not being able to fall back to sleep until then, and I felt that tiny surge of what I only know as the vibrations. For some reason they were only rough one time and now are barely noticeable. What I don’t fail to notice is a very distinct ringing in my ears/head. This started to happen and I moved as I know how, in a sort of separation from the inside roll of sorts. I became too excited and ended the show lol I didn’t give up though.

I don’t know what time I fell asleep the second time but I know that I was dreaming before I knew it. What I kept doing prior to the dream was to remind myself sternly but gently that “I will be dreaming soon, don’t forget”.

Next thing I knew.. I was in a desert. BRILLIANT gold sand all around me.. Mountains of it.. I don’t know what I was doing before I became aware, I only knew that I was there for some time without being aware lol (just remembered I grabbed a handful of the sand and ground it between my fingers. It was the best feeling! I did this to imprint a memory so that I would not forget and I just had to come back to this post and type it in) I immediately rubbed my hands together and looked around.. Nothing but desert and a brilliant blue sky. At least that’s all I can recall. I said out loud: Clarity now and had to brace myself.

It felt as if the whole dream reality were being molded into something different while I was in it. A lot of pressure or what I perceived as pressure. Next thing I know I’m on top of a building. Very ritzy looking place. It had to be a penthouse. I was overlooking a city.. There were sounds of people coming from inside the place though.. So maybe it was a restaurant.. All I know is that I was alone.

I remembered that I’m doing a study for a psychologist about lucid dreaming. I’m supposed to change the environment, subsequent surroundings and do something I’m afraid to do in my waking life. I was supposed to start this experiment by finding my door or portal of choice which was a mirror. I chose this door especially to prove to some people that nothing happens in dreams if you look or travel into a mirror. You may “see” something that will scare you but it’s your dream, understand and accept it.

I began to walk through this ad hoc loft apartment/restaurant and around some steps that led out of the room when I saw it.. As I walked to the mirror I noticed I had glasses on! I had never ever been in a dream wearing glasses.. I wondered if I were myself in this dream.. I hurried to the mirror also taking note that I had a suit on as well. To my surprise when I looked in the mirror, I had no suit no glasses and I was a younger version of me. Almost 17 if I’m correct. I know this because of the attire I wore also. In the mirror I had an old auto parts job uniform on. The only job I had at that age. Red and black with a collar.. I touched the mirror and thought of the situation I needed to practice. As I pushed to go through I was pulled forcefully in the other direction. My time was almost up. Dammit. I should have spun in circles to prolong it earlier but I always get distracted by the dream. I tried to pull away but was pulled right out of the dream lol

July 27th lucid dreams and about 4 false awakenings

I don’t know when I fell asleep but I knew I was tired after experimenting with sleeping on my back all night last night.. I’m not a back sleeper AT ALL lol I woke up this morning for a while put on clothes and decided to start my day.. after about 20 minutes I felt fatigued.. took off all of my clothes and went back to sleep.

I lay in bed waiting to fall asleep when instead I heard a ringing in my ears and that familiar hum of the vibrations.. they were very faint but the ringing in my ears was unmistakable.. I don’t know if I’m in a trance when this happens or if I’m already asleep. I’m inclined to choose the latter.

I pull from inside out and kind of do a semi roll out move, I get out of my “body” (quotations here because I think I was dreaming not projecting but for some reason I exit the same way into a dream as a projection) but I’m blind. I’m used to being blind.. whatever I ask for vision but nothing.. then I feel as if something is dragging me by my foot.. still doesn’t scare me.. I think well this is going to be a waste of a dream if I can’t even get my vision working..

I’m on my bed again.. crap.. wasted dream.. ah well.. wait.. I still hear the ringing.. I’m going to try an exit again.. this time it’s a lot harder.. not so much the getting out part but the staying out part.. It felt like a giant magnet was on my back but I get out still blind.. gatdammit..

I’m on my bed again.. ok this is hilarious now.. still hear the ringing.. I slip out again with no problem.. then I began to float up to my ceiling and into a corner.. I looked down and just saw my bed I wasn’t on it as usual.. I looked around and started to be pulled through the ceiling and then blackness..

I wake up on my bed again lmaooo I don’t hear the ringing.. nor do I feel vibrations.. I get up look back and see myself on the bed.. okaaaay.. I open my door look outside and my refrigerator isn’t where it’s supposed to be.. instead there is a bunch of garbage or rather old clothing and junk there.. my fridge is about a few feet away.. I go outside and into my backyard.. there is a deer back there on the other side of the fence.. it turns into a tiger I try to fly and see if I can go somewhere.. I’m sucked back into the ground..

I wake up on my bed again.. finally I’m awake I feel it.. I feel tired and sluggish and….. wait did I leave porn on my computer? Yeah I probably did.. wait wtf is that on the floor? a hamster? a squirrel? (this could have been the only time I projected but changed the plane when I woke up my ipod player was in exactly the same spot as the thing I saw and it looks like a little creature in dim lighting) I reach for the thing and it scurried away! I’m definitely still dreaming lol

I wake up for real thinking holy crap.. I didn’t find anything out but that was fun as hell.. it’s been like 2 weeks anyway I was due for something like that.. Also I did some kind of wake back to bed inverted thing anyway.. waking up after a couple hours and going back to sleep..

July 18th.. 2 projections(?)

So I was able to make some observations while projecting this time and compare them with what I read in robert monroes book: Journeys out of body. I woke up this morning to a ringing in my ears.. I don’t think I ever get the vibrations anymore, or they’re there but they just sound like a hum or something. Anyway I wake up this morning to the ringing in my ears, well more so in my damned head lol

I figure I’ll try to disconnect and I move my hand first, like I just told someone yesterday, it feels like quicksand.. As soon as I felt that my hand was in two places I became a little excited but managed to hold back my excitement and rushed out.. which was pretty much snail speed lol So I get out and I feel that wonderful light freedom feeling and I look around my room and everything looks exactly the same.. I see myself laying in bed..

But here’s where things change.. In retrospect, the way the covers were positioned on my head probably made me perceive that I had long hair on my head.. So I started to look like a girl. While projecting I kind of got pissed because I thought that this was another lucid dream. The other observation I made was that.. Things change, on that plane, to what you think you see. I thought I saw hair.. so I started to see myself as a girl for some reason. Similar to when Monroe saw his friends playing cards but the cards were giant envelope sized cards.. when he told his friend his friend said everything he described was correct except that they weren’t playing cards.. someone was handing out the mail lmao

So anyway.. I get sucked back into my body.. I don’t move for a second.. then I try to get out again. Success! But crap I’m blind! So I ask for vision.. well I demand it gatdammit.. Here’s the other thing.. in lucid dreams when I demand something or say something.. I hear myself somewhat objectively.. as if my voice were not my own.. whenever I “project” and I try to speak, it only sounds like it’s in my head.

Ok so when I finally get my vision.. everything is the same except… There is some THING standing over my bed. I remember I got close to it and it seemed to be trying to figure out what or who I was.. It had it’s “hand” on it’s chin.. But I kind of got pissed because I really don’t like people watching me sleep lmaooooo So I punched the thing in the face and it flew into the corner of my room and tried to get up.. either I’m really strong or this thing was really weak.. Also I felt like everything was so damned light.. even when I hit the thing I felt like I was swinging like a girl (no offense ladies) and then I hit a pillow.. So now I’m holding the thing back with one hand and I think of light.. like a light protection.. A brilliant white light shone for a second and then the thing was gone.. I looked around my room then woke up..

Man what a comeback eh? I just get my dream recall back and already I’m in a fight ahahahahahahaha ~dreams

June 27th 1:31 lucid/projection?

Ok I will not say that I haven’t had bad experiences lol This was one of the worst.. not because of demons (which I never see) but because of this weird pain.

I remember waking up in a dream doing something to a cat. I had the cat in a bag and was twirling it around or something. I thought “wait a fucking minute, I love cats I would never do this” BAM Instantly knew I was dreaming. SN: It’s a lot easier to recognize you’re dreaming when you’re taking a nap in the middle of the day.

I put the bag down or it disappeared whatever you know how dreams work.. and I look at my hands and think I’ll try finding my dream/spirit guide/higher self again and I say it out loud. This time instead of being dragged out of the world, everything just turned black. I had the feeling of being pulled again though. I also felt that I was waking up but when I arrived at wherever I was going my vision started to come back and I was back in my bed.

Here is the bad part: My head hurt like crazy. It was like a strain.. The strain you put on yourself during a workout. I would compare it to that. When you workout and you’re trying to lift or pull something to heavy for you. Also I could see how I always see but my vision looked as if it were supposed to be A LOT wider.. My normal everyday vision seemed inadequate compared to this.

Imagine you’re seeing everything just fine and then take a step back from that vision and then add a black circle around it. Kind of like you’re looking through a lens. I’ve read something about 360 vision during AP.. I don’t know if that’s what was happening.. or trying to happen.. Anyway I tried to get up and that put even more strain on my head.. I tried to relax and think of standing up.. that seemed to work and lessen the strain but gotdamn it was very annoying to say the least.. All I remember was trying to get out of bed by thinking my way out of bed and I ended up standing upside down.. in retrospect that actually lessen the strain a lot.. then I woke up.. crazy

Lucid dream june 25th

This was a very different dream from all of the rest of the drams I’ve ever had. I used the WBTB method after staying on the phone with a certain someone (lmao!) talking about dreams at 5:30am.

I awake in the dream realizing I was a lot more tired than I actually thought I was. I didn’t even know I was sleep until I looked down and I was not laying on my bed but on the sidewalk. It was a familiar surrounding. I looked around and saw that I was only a few blocks from my house. This was my first lucid in a week or so, so I was excited and my objective was supposed to have been to meet up with a certain someone to prove dream sharing exists. I forgot about that and was focused on my previous goal of speaking with my dream guide/spirit guide/higher self. I looked at my hands rubbed them together and calmed down to stabilize the dream.

I tried to say “I want to speak to my dream guide” but no words came out, in fact I felt that if I spoke I would wake myself up. I tried again but this time I said “I want to speak to my spirit guide NOW.”

I felt like I had spoken in my sleep. My voice sounded like it didn’t come from me. I wish someone was there to tell me whether I said that out loud or not. Anyway, as soon as I said that I was pulled into the air. I wasn’t surprised and in fact didn’t even think that it was because of what I said. I had asked for my dream guide in many other dreams and to no avail. I thought I would fall to the ground and wake up soon. Wrong. I was pulled out of the world lmao literally. I saw a city clouds and then blackness. Then I started to see colors and patterns. I was pulled for a couple minutes and then I heard a female voice INSIDE OF MY HEAD.

This shocked me. I like to think of myself as an Oneironaut but I had never experienced this. My heartbeat sped up and I became nervous.. but an anxious happy nervous. She said “You’re thinking….(mumbled)”

Just woke up from a short Obe

“MILD works extremely well when the mind is tired” (Paraphrased) - Joe Russa

Mild works especially well during naps. I felt myself lift out and onto my floor.. I had just gone to sleep and heard someone from my building go into the backyard.. I thought to myself I’d like to see who went back there.. As soon as I thought that.. I was pulled in the opposite direction.. I tried to fight against it and I noticed that fighting against the pull was putting a strain on me and waking me up.. So I relaxed and was pulled out of my house then underground back towards my house and into the backyard.. I didn’t do any grounding, ie; spinning in circles or rubbing my hands together.. so as soon as I arrived in my backyard I looked at my hands and woke up.. crap lol

June 12 Lucid

I wake up it’s about 8am I went to sleep early last night and I must’ve had about 3 lucid dreams.. one of them was very much an obe except for the not so subtle wall where a fence should have been in my backyard lol.. I woke up looked at my hands and at that moment realized that I was STILL dreaming lmao.. Damn false awakenings.. I looked around and now I was around the corner from my house and this is the second time I’ve had a dream where an old acquaintance or should I say female friend was in.. Everything went black after that and I woke up to vibrations.. 

I tried to move and I felt that familiar feeling of separating from my body.. A tugging feeling.. kind of like I’m pulling away from quicksand.. I was almost out when I was snatched back in.. This time I woke up for real lol

Happy dreaming 

So..

I guess I’ll start over again with a my most recent lucid dream.. 

It’s about 5pm.. I’m dead tired.. I’ve been working out and playing basketball all week.. While I’m laying in bed I keep feeling my vibrations.. I keep feeling like I’m in two places at once so I decide to test it.. I move my arm and, yup I’m definitely dreaming.. I had two arms.. One up in the air and one on the bed..

So “roll out of my body” and I’m blind, as always, I feel around to feel where I might be and I feel the open cracks of the floor of my room.. I touch my face and think to myself “vision now please” and My sight comes in.. I’m definitely in my room now.. I look around and as always I’m astonished at how real everything looks.. There are a bunch of people in my house.. two of my mothers friends who tell me to come up stairs with them and I oblige.. when I get up stairs.. it looks as if I didn’t leave the 1st floor.. but at the end of the hallway there is a huge room.. circular in shape and it’s open at the top.. with beautifully designed white… kind of lines coming from the center.. at the end of the room was a door leading downstairs and to my backyard.. I walked to the door but noticed some plants.. Looked closer at the plants and saw some really weird looking spiders.. I looked at my hands then back at the spiders and they were twice their size.. Then I woke up.. 

Pretty long lucid.. it’s hard to stay aware that I’m dreaming sometimes lol
