My Lucid Dreaming Journey Day 29 - Only One Lucid Dream...

This time, I actually managed to change the scenery and make some objects appear! It was quite trippy...

So, let's start at the beginning!

I go to sleep and I set my alarm to wake me up in 4 hours so I could perform the FILD method. Once I performed the method, and did a reality check (breathe through pinched nose), it didn't work.

I wasn't able to breathe through... But the funny thing is, I was actually lucid! I got out of bed and I looked at my hand. I couldn't count my fingers and it was deformed.

That means, breathing through a pinched nose doesn't always work if you don't believe it will.

I felt a little bit cold, so I was about to put my clothes on, but then I decided to sit on the ground and look at the wall. I tried to imagine a new scenery.

And woah, it got trippy really quickly!

As I was looking at the wall, some sort of images started appearing right in front of me. They got bigger and bigger, until I was no longer in my room.

I can't really remember how everything looked... And I think I know why... I completely forgot to keep on doing reality checks to stay very lucid.

But... Even though I didn't do reality checks, I was lucid for a very long time.

Anyway, when I was at this new place, I tried to imagine a magic mushroom (psilocybin). I always wanted to try this out in real life, but I haven't done it yet since it's illegal.

While I was trying to imagine a magic mushroom, a very colorful marshmallow appeared in my hands. It had all kinds of colors! It was magical for sure!

So, I ate it and waited for some trippy stuff to happen, but then I lost my memory...

Until I regained my memory again! I was just laying there in my bed, watching TV. Yup... I'm lucid dreaming and all I could think to do is watch TV!

Then my dad entered the room. I stepped out of the bed and when my father turned away, I raised my hand and said, "be gone!".

I tried to remove my father from my dream, but it didn't work. That's when I woke up...

That's it for today. I'm ending this post here. 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!

1. So, first of all, I will be posting my whole lucid dreaming journey here on Steemit every day.

2. 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.

3. I will do at least 30-50 reality checks every day.

4. 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.

5. I will also experiment with some techniques to induce lucid dreams.

6. 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.

7. Talk, read and think about lucid dreaming constantly.

8. Occasionally I will listen to lucid dreaming binaural beats and hypnosis.

9. 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.

10. 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!

UPDATE: I achieved lucid dreaming for the first time on day 12

I'm going to lucid dream tonight!
