Dann war ich plötzlich wieder im Körper, verhielt mich abermals ruhig und konnte wieder die Paralyse spüren, der Ausstieg ging nur Ratzfatz und ich wurde schier aus dem Körper geworfen, ich weiß nur noch dass es ca. 5 Mal so kam, was ich denn dazwischen erlebte habe ich (wie so oft) vergessen. Da ich zu faul für ein Traumtagebuch bin hoffe ich dass sich das mal ändert (vielleicht mit dem Schreiben hier im Forum Wink

also i've seen blackness swirling but no colors...

i dont keep a dream journal but if i remember my dreams i usually remember them pretty well...

i have a crazy work schedule so i can't synchronize my sleep schedule to the sun like he suggests in lucidology 102 but i am going to try the timer method he describes in 101 tonight (tomorrow morning) after i get off work at 10pm.

if you would like to offer advise i would gladly take it, otherwise im just saying hi and letting ya'll know where im at in a metaphysical sense.

I'm R Raj eL--just Raj is AOK, and I'm having on heckuva time achieving lucidity in my dreams. In years past, it was easy to have a L/D; I used The Lucidity Institute's 'Nova Dreamer' as an aid, did my dream journal-ling, and all went well; like the rabbit in the Trix cereal commercial posited, i.e. "Trix are MINE!" (until the 2 bratty little kids took them from him LOL), lucid dreams were gonna be "mine" forever & ever. A big "however" is now in order: I've just come off antidepressants and mood-stabilizers after 15 years of suffering from depression & a bipolar condition--and I find that, for me--and I'm speaking ONLY for me--just plain talk therapy and the "no-med" scenario is a duo of success. The "however" part is that my brain is still in the process of re-wiring after that 15-year psychotropic "leave of absence", so I'm still not yet able to achieve lucidity. The methods I'm now using are the following:

a) my old friend, The Nova Dreamer
b) dream journalism--use a software product called 'Dreams Working Interactive', and it's really some cool software, i.e., all kinds of nifty color combos, etc.
c) doing reality checks throughout the day--being a guy and a "gadget guy" at that, I've got a timer I carry around with me; it beeps at preset intervals, and I'll then ask myself if I'm dreaming. BTW: the "timer" is technically called "The Invisible Clock", and, yeah, they've got a website.
(like...who doesn't?)
d) making use of yet ANOTHER software product called 'Mind Master', which flashes subliminal affirmations and/or pictures on one's PC screen. Naturally, I've set up a lucid dream section with affirmations 'n pictures.
e) keeping a positive mindset--and this is sometimes easier said than done, regardless of what some of the Mary Poppins New Age crowd will tell you, i.e. how DARE you harbor a negative thought! C'mon, guys...let's get real, shall we?

So that's the Doom 'n Gloom Blues from THIS 67 year old 1960's Survivor, and maybe someone in our crowd could give me some ideas on the lucid thing. For me, the old Buddhist saying (via Nichern Shoshu, which I'm not into, however some of my friends go that route) of "Winter always turns to spring." hits home. I'm sure this non-lucid period ain't gonna last.]]> Hello folks.

Besonders interessant war die Begegnung mit einer grauhäutigen, humanoiden Rasse. Eigentlich wollte ich einigen Entitäten wiederbegegnen, die sich durch eine transparente Haut auszeichnen unter der sie tiefblau und silbrig schimmern - ähnlich Perlmutt. Doch stattdessen zeigte sich auf meine Anrufung eine stumpf grauhäutige Frau mit blauen Haaren von einiger Grösse und Fülle. Ich verlangte daraufhin, in ihre Welt gebracht zu werden, worauf sie meinte, ich könnte dort nicht atmen. Trotzdem nahm sie mich in den Arm und wir stiegen immer höher und höher, bis ich irgendwann das Bewusstsein verlor und die Reise von meinem Bett aus neu beginnen musste. Unterbrochene Klartraumphasen fangen meistens damit an, dass ich von meinem Bett aus aufstehe. Praktischerweise befindet sich mein Bett zwei Meter über dem Boden, so dass ich aus Vorsicht von selbst ausgiebig Realitätschecks ausführe, bevor ich herunterspringe.

Ich verfolge die Sache weiter und möchte mehr über das grauhäutige Wesen erfahren. Dabei begegne ich einem Mann, den ich zunächst nach seinem Namen frage. Wie so oft, werde ich als Antwort nur angerunzelt. Ich sage ihm, er soll mir einfach den Namen nennen, auf den er am ehesten hören würde. Er entgegnet mit "Edemann Tausendbilderschön" (oder etwas Ähnlichem, ich kann mich nicht genau erinnern). Zumindest bringe ich im weiteren noch den Namen der grauhäutigen Frau (an den ich mich überhaupt nicht erinnern kann) und die Bezeichnung ihrer Rasse in Erfahrung. Sie nennen sich "Screed" und werden durch eine Blume symbolisiert, die einer Pfauenfeder ähnelt. Später erhielt ich die Gelegenheit, eine nicht voll entwickelte Blüte zu untersuchen und musste feststellen, dass ich nichts Vergleichbares kenne.

Es ist noch vieles mehr passiert, aber ich beschränke mich hierauf. Nachdem ich mich dann entschloss, aufzustehen, schlug ich erstmal den Begriff "Screed" nach. Überraschenderweise musste ich feststellen, dass "Screed" im Englischen tatsächlich diverse Bedeutungen hat, z.B. Estrich, Glättbalken, aber auch Roman. Später beim Duschen bin ich dann darauf gekommen, dass mit "Screed" tatsächlich "Secret" gemeint war, also "Geheimnis".]]>

I cannot say if this would be the case if I hadn't invested as much time before performing those things mentioned above, but I can tell you what I am doing differently now: I know that I will become lucid! This goes a bit further though than trying to convince oneself (autosuggestion). There is absolutely no doubt about it. If I had any doubt, it wouldn't work. I know that I will become lucid just like I assume that tomorrow the sun will rise again. That's all about it.

Perhaps, this may have worked from the very beginning. It's too late for me to find that out, but maybe you can. On the other hand, the conducted techniques and attained experiences might have been necessary to convince myself. If you never had a self-induced lucid dream, you might be doubtful about the whole matter and even if you had plenty of lucid dreams, you might still not be convinced that it's enough to know that you'll have more without performing further techniques. As indicated, this is speculation. It might also be the case that I have somehow become skilled enough or that I'm just lucky. It might be worth a shot to see for yourself... the question is: Can you erase all doubts? If not, what is the most effective way to achieve that level of conviction?

If lucid dreaming takes a lot of effort for you, my findings might at least endorse you not to give up, because it could mean, that it becomes as easy for you as for me, too. But I am also aware that even the firmest of convictions can be lost again.]]>

the reason of my intrigue with this site, as well as my presence here is, rather specific. So firstly to my point, I am interested in Lucid Dreaming in the context of Psilocybin mushrooms. That interest will stretch and encompass even the most far reaching or vague connections. That said, I'm directing my search more towards personal experience knowledge of the first or second hand sort. Not that I have no interest in the general knowledge available, but there is a certain freshness in the first recount that one doesn't find in the voice of a recital that's content come from elsewhere. Wouldn't you be inclined to agree?

As I find Crowley's presence here, will thou not do me the favor of entertaining the idea that something of a great work is still being worked? If this work is to be worked, and progress to be made, then perhaps the value of stitching together a more complete tool, before trying the tool out would be obvious. If nothing else my delight in a bit of secrecy should be more apparent than mysterious now.

I'm not all smoke and mirror though. I'll add my reinforcement to the value of this site and the voice's that speak threw it. The importance of communication threw avenues such as these would be undoubtedly seen to be the solid foundation of any great kingdom of knowledge. That is if our looking mason was in possession of a sense of futurism. My personal experience's co inside with the vast majority in saying "I doubt it", as well as if they where looking it wasn't that close at the foundation. Creator's often get caught up in the big picture of finished projects.

More clearly I'll say again, if you wonder how the important moments felt to those that did great deeds. Then breath deep, all moments are of the utmost equal importance, all strands are sewn into this tapestry, all life's are weaving or woven in. What can be whole without all of its parts anyway?

I am a humble part, looking for my counter parts, trying to find a place in the machine. Perhaps you know what parts I'm looking for? Perhaps you are a part? Or perhaps you may ask the same of me, and I may have an answer for you.

So where to go from here to there?

Well as we might be dreaming inside a dream, let me share one of my dreams with you, it is a dream of which i am fond:

"There's a brave new world inside my head, breathing life anew now that the old kings lay vanquished.Their crowns have gone astray. There is no need for the kingdom. All heads are full of sweet dreams, all heads are free to wander beyond the edges of the kingdom.

River that runs is showing me, while a breeze goes lazily flowing through me, beneath a warm sun suddenly glowing on me. Oh don't you see? There is a different green to every one of billions of leaves. That in a breath and then a rush an ocean lust mist, an endless emerald sea of this rises from the fog. The forest will call, " Return to where you never left, it all awaits you."

So I've had such dream's. I've had lucid one's too. My problem is a lot of this came round and swept me up before my feet had really learned their purpose. I wasn't exactly looking for a lot of the things I've found. No what I'm looking for is understand to match the depths, before I drown as I'm failing to learn to swim, as I'm falling to learn to fly.

So I implore you please, If you might of had experience's of the sort I've had, that leave you talking this way even in your own head about things. Sort of fearful you might reveal to much to yourself alone while all to aware your not so alone, Then please knock, I might open up my door. I've tried to shut a lot out, but I'd like to let in something that would explain to me why I ever built the door or added the lock in the first.

So in the last

"Ads"??? "Competing"??? What you actually did was to remove the links to my private site, that - for obvious reasons - is also related to lucid dreaming et al. The greater part of my site actually does not even deal with lucid dreaming, but presents personal artwork. Obviously you didn't invest the time to find out.

I had no idea Dreamviews is run as some kind of competition. I was under the impression you wanted to facilitate information exchange as I do, but I sadly stand corrected. I have no idea what you gain by that "competition" ...financial gain? ...ego boost? I can only guess. Is that really how you see this forum? I sincerely ask you to think about it.

I'm going to take the the only appropriate action now, that is to stay away from Dreamviews, not because some links were removed, but because the staff here obviously has a seriously improper attitude. Maybe you are just a bad example, but as such, the impression rubs off on the rest of the staff.

Have fun running your "competition", whatever the yield. I have no desire for immature games. If I am right with my assessment, this post probably won't stay published for long.

P.S. Only a minute after I posted my answer publicly in the Meta Forum section, it was already removed. Big Grin

P.P.S. Well, it was taken out of sight, not deleted. Anyway, I'm done there.]]>

One lucid dream I shall never forget I entitled 'My New Pals On The Dream Network' ; here's the dream, hope you guys will like it:

I was walking down the street in a town in New Jersey (East Orange) with my mom. She went off to do some grocery shopping as is Mom's wont, and I continued walking. Suddenly I saw a crystal on the ground--about the size of a softball. Then I saw more crystals! Colors were various...gray/silver ('chrome' would be a better word), pink, and purple (my favorite color). At that point I realized "Hey...I'm dreaming!", and proceeded to let the dream take me where it might (picked up one of the crystals). I'd read quite a bit about lucid dreaming, so I didn't get overly-excited about being in a L.D., and in fact I knew enough through my reading and study to not "know" I was dreaming ("let not thy right hand know what thy left hand doeth")--the excitement and/or the "Hey...I'm dreaming!" thing could've woken me up, and I hardly wanted that to happen.

To continue...I looked to my left, and I saw a building and a rather large, intricately-carved wooden door; door was sort of "orange" in color--and there were smaller crystals imbedded in it. Naturally, I opened the door, and walked up a flight of stairs to yet another door, opened it--and I was in some loft-space with long tables; people at the tables were doing some kind of energy work(?)...whatever...some 'New Agey' stuff no doubt. There were some hip & cool college-age kids by the entrance, and I introduced myself (at the time [1995, specifically] I was 52 years of age--
an old 'one-half hippy/one-half info-tech guy'). I said, "Hi! I'm Raj, I'm in a lucid dream, and you guys are, too. Can anyone give me some feedback here?" These guys kinda put me on: "Oh no, man! We don't know anything about THAT, man!" then one of the guys introduced himself; his name was Leon; he was wearing an army fatigue jacket, had long sandy hair, and wire-rimmed glasses. I can't exactly say what it is HE said--only his words were friendly and enthusiastic. I decided to look around a bit, and I told Leon I'd talk to him later.

Then came the most intense part of the dream--and I'm not exaggerating when I write this:

I "whisked" myself to the front part of this loft-space (more like roller-skating without skates than walking), and I was now in front of some "stage". There were several "Hindu" demigods there--and among them was a girl with thick, brown hair cut in a "Dutch-Boy" style. She had BLUE skin, and was smiling at me; her lips were bright red. I told her "You look like KRISHNA!" She smiled--and now it seemed that all I could see was her face, bigger than life. She apparently understood the fact that I found her skin color beautiful, and her face turned from blue to TURQUOISE! To say my mind was blown would be saying it right.

Then the most amazing thing happened--and here is where words may fail me; however I'll try, and I hope this doesn't sound air-heady: All these Heavenly Beings present sent me vibrations of love and acceptance (sort of like, Raj, we missed you) that go far beyond my ability to describe: I simply felt almost like I was looking at the Home I'd long forgotten--and how much love I'd lost by choosing to incarnate into matter. This is the best way I may describe what happened--and it STILL doesn't get it quite said. I do not believe the English language contains the words or the concepts which would impart the experience.

Next scene: I "walked" back to the entrance, and met Leon again. I said hey, let's hang out. He said that he wasn't able to do so then; however we would get together at some future date. Dream then faded, and I woke up feeling like I was tripping on acid (something I long since had stopped doing--learned all I'd needed to/subsequent trip were simply repetitive and boring) without the "edge"; this "trip" was in the vein of inner-feeling without the visuals and absolutely none of the negative "realizations".

Then I made the biggest mistake I could've made--actually, this is more funny than sad: I came to work and shared the dream with a couple of my co-workers! Being that I then worked at a conservative investment firm in New York's Wall Street area...that was probably not a prudent thing to do.

I was "high" on this dream for the next 2 weeks--it was just so doggone beautiful. Wish I could link up with you guys in a L.D. so we could all go there. [/color]

One lucid dream I shall never forget I entitled 'My New Pals On The Dream Network' ; here's the dream, hope you guys will like it:

I was walking down the street in a town in New Jersey (East Orange) with my mom. She went off to do some grocery shopping as is Mom's wont, and I continued walking. Suddenly I saw a crystal on the ground--about the size of a softball. Then I saw more crystals! Colors were various...gray/silver ('chrome' would be a better word), pink, and purple (my favorite color). At that point I realized "Hey...I'm dreaming!", and proceeded to let the dream take me where it might (picked up one of the crystals). I'd read quite a bit about lucid dreaming, so I didn't get overly-excited about being in a L.D., and in fact I knew enough through my reading and study to not "know" I was dreaming ("let not thy right hand know what thy left hand doeth")--the excitement and/or the "Hey...I'm dreaming!" thing could've woken me up, and I hardly wanted that to happen.

To continue...I looked to my left, and I saw a building and a rather large, intricately-carved wooden door; door was sort of "orange" in color--and there were smaller crystals imbedded in it. Naturally, I opened the door, and walked up a flight of stairs to yet another door, opened it--and I was in some loft-space with long tables; people at the tables were doing some kind of energy work(?)...whatever...some 'New Agey' stuff no doubt. There were some hip & cool college-age kids by the entrance, and I introduced myself (at the time [1995, specifically] I was 52 years of age--
an old 'one-half hippy/one-half info-tech guy'). I said, "Hi! I'm Raj, I'm in a lucid dream, and you guys are, too. Can anyone give me some feedback here?" These guys kinda put me on: "Oh no, man! We don't know anything about THAT, man!" then one of the guys introduced himself; his name was Leon; he was wearing an army fatigue jacket, had long sandy hair, and wire-rimmed glasses. I can't exactly say what it is HE said--only his words were friendly and enthusiastic. I decided to look around a bit, and I told Leon I'd talk to him later.

Then came the most intense part of the dream--and I'm not exaggerating when I write this:

All that fancy-schmancy stuff!

Just 'Raj' is fine.

Anyway, I'm a newbie kinda guy. I WAS able to have lucid dreams in the past, and due to some stress in my life at present I'm not always able to do so. ...not saying this in the spirit of negativity, mind you...as they used to say on the TV Cop Show 'Dragnet' ..."...just the facts, ma'am.." LOL

Anyway, I'm back in the LD arena, and perhaps being part of a community and a support system will be of help. If anyone has any ideas about stress-elimators, i.e. herbs, vitamins, etc. (no traditional 'meds', been there/done that..bummer) that'd be appreciated. And of course if I'm able to help anyone else, I'll be most glad to do so. Mutual support systems in any human endeavor I've found are without parallel.

Got my old Dream Journal sorftware reinstalled on my PC, and I'm ready to get started--or restarted, actually. One thing I found is journalizing is absolutely the key to success in having LDs.[/color][/font]

My very first LD: I'm in an old elevated train station (or 'El' as we Yanks call them; think in Britain the word is 'tubes'), and a train is approaching. It pulls in, and a tall, 'Art Deco-ish' looking woman--quite pretty--alights.
I realize I'm dreaming, walk up to her, wish to be as tall as she (it happens instantly), and ask her "Are we dreaming?"

"Yes, we are.", she replies. Dream ends ~doggone it

Hope 2C you guys on the Dream Circuit. Be well & God bless.
