My Lucid Dreaming Journey Day 13 - I Screwed Up!
I Became Lucid Again, But...
This morning I tried doing everything the same as yesterday. I woke up after 4 hours of sleep and stayed up for 30 minutes or so.
While I was awake I was reading articles about lucid dreaming and some dreams from my journal.
Then I tried to perform the WILD method. I stayed still for 15 minutes, but nothing happened!
I didn't even want to sleep anymore. So I think my mistake was staying up for too long. 30 minutes looking at my phone screen wakes me up too much. Next time I will stay up for 15 minutes and I won't look at any screens.
Anyways, just like the last time, WILD method didn't work out. So I changed position and then tried to perform the FILD method, which worked flawlessly yesterday.
I sent signals to my fingers and I got really relaxed once again. Suddenly, I've heard some sort of sound in my right ear and I felt like spinning for a few seconds.
I just knew I became lucid because of the sound and sensations. Then I did a reality check by closing my nose with my hands and trying to breathe through it. It worked!
So, what happened next? I fucked up! How? Well... Right when I tried to get out of bed, I slightly opened my eyes and I felt SOOOO tired... I thought, maybe I'll just put my head on the pillow for a couple of minutes and I close my eyes...
Sadly, I actually woke up when I did that, but worst of all, I couldn't fall asleep anymore. the FILD method didn't work anymore either, even though I did get very relaxed a couple of times.
Wild Dreams!
Even though I didn't lucid dream this morning, I had some wild dreams! I was... How should I put this... FUCKING a lot!
I dreamt about this girl. I fucked her for like 2 hours, lol. I don't have a lot of dreams like that, so it was a bit of a surprise...
But the weird part was... There was this dude and apparently it was his girlfriend. But he allowed me to fuck this girl, but only if we don't kiss each other...
What? He doesn't care if I fuck her, but he's not OK with kissing? Alright... Roger that, bro!
But! We couldn't resist! the dude wasn't watching us or whatever, so we started kissing anyways, lol. Sometimes he would pass by, so we stopped.
It continued for good 2 hours. Long ass dream!
I don't remember anything else... I did dream before I woke up to perform WILD and FILD methods, but I don't really remember what.
I tried remembering when I woke up, but I couldn't. I just had a few images of the dream in my head, but couldn't put it to words.
So, not a lot to talk about today. It's Friday and I'm heading out to my cousin's place to have a few beers, but I'll probably be back home by night, so I'll be able to focus on lucid dreaming and hopefully achieve it in the morning.
I just hope that the beer won't affect my ability to dream!
Some Dream Interpretations
I never normally did this before I started this journey, but I think it's going to be fun to check out what my dreams mean, since I'm getting more involved with them.
I don't necessarily believe the interpretations, but it's a great way to get even more immersed into the dream world.
So, I had some action in the bed with someone else's girl. What could that possibly mean? I couldn't find anything about having sex with a taken girl, but here's the closest thing I could find:
To have sex with a stranger may symbolize a new you that is emerging due to changes you are going through. The stranger may also indicate you are open to a change or a new opportunity that is underway. (Source)
A new me! I'll tell everyone I know to say goodbye to the current me! Cuz a new me is on the way.
What will I be like? Will I become a space marine, just like in my lucid dream last time? Or maybe lucid dreaming will screw my mind up? Naaah...
I guess I am going through some changes, especially spiritually. More meditations, calmness, relaxation and lucid dreaming is taking over my life right now.
I'm getting to know myself better every day. Obviously, this does slowly change me as a person.
Since there's nothing else I can remember about my dreams, I'll stop with the interpretations and end this post. At the end of each post I'll include my first post (down below) about this journey as it explains why and how I'm doing this! (Full Post Here)
I Will Be Doing This Every Day!
The main reason I want to start lucid dreaming, is for self improvement. I've been reading a lot about it and studies have shown that you can actually improve certain abilities by doing it in your dreams. For example, if you wan't to learn a foreign language, you can practice it in your dreams. Since you're working with your subconscious mind while you're sleeping, you might find out that you know words that you were never aware of while conscious. It's really all up to your creativity to what you wanna learn and improve upon in your dreams. Is it basketball that you want to become better at? You can do that! Do you want to become a better fucker? Nobody is holding you back! Just make a nasty slut appear in front of you and do whatever you want with her! Apparently while sleeping, the neural pathways engaged in the activity are strengthened, and not only imagined or visualized. To achieve lucid dreaming, a lot of action has to be taken. Well... Some find it really easy to lucid dream, but most have to achieve it the hard way. It's really important to think about lucid dreaming throughout the day. This way you're telling your subconscious mind that this is what you're focusing on and what you want, thus it gives you the access to control the dream world. There are quite a few things I will be doing in order to achieve this goal! So, first of all, I will be posting my whole lucid dreaming journey here on Steemit every day. I will be writing down all of my dreams on a journal. A dream journal is basically essential if you want to achieve lucid dreaming. I will do at least 30-50 reality checks every day. Have a sleeping rhythm. That means I will be going to sleep at the same time every night. I'll also wake up at the same time every morning as well. I will also experiment with some techniques to induce lucid dreams. I won't look at any screens (computer, TV or even phone) 30-60 minutes before bed, because I've read that this helps a lot. For those 30-60 minutes I will be meditating. Talk, read and think about lucid dreaming constantly. Occasionally I will listen to lucid dreaming binaural beats and hypnosis. I will use an app called Awoken. This app is designed to help you achieve lucid dreaming. It reminds you to do reality checks throughout the day and it has a dream journal, which is where I will be writing down all my dreams when I wake up. I will experiment with the supplement called Dream Leaf, I already ordered it and I will use it when it arrives. I will take it only once or at most twice every week to see if it changes anything about my dreams and the ability to become lucid.
Tracking All My Progress!
So, like I've mentioned before, I will be tracking all my progress and I'll be posting about it every day here on Steemit. Also, after I achieve lucid dreaming, I won't stop posting about my experiences for some time still. When I achieve my goal, I will be writing down a lot of experiences that I have inside the dream world, and I'll experiment if it's actually possible to improve real life skills while sleeping. I set a personal goal to achieve lucid dreaming within 30 days starting today. I'm really excited and hopefully I'll be able to do that even faster than 30 days! This is not the first time I try to achieve lucid dreaming, but I never took it seriously and I was too inconsistent, so I never even came close to becoming lucid. But this time I'm gonna SMASH it and record the whole journey on this blockchain!
Not going to screw it up this night!

I just tuned in but this is really cool. Lucid dreaming is something I think everyone hopes they can learn to control. I'v read a few articles about it in the past but also dismissed controlling it as something we wouldn't be able to do. I'm really interested to keep following your journey, who knows if you're succesful I might give it a try as well.
Yeah I I became lucid yesterday and had some nice dreams. Wasn't able to control them very much, but I was always aware that I'm dreaming. It felt like real life!
