Lumi's Dreaming Thread; Dreams of Moon

[Lucilyn]

I posted LSD: Dream Emulator - Fax Factory already (and Come On And at some point), so I'll post this one this time! I was going to go to sleep but now I don't know if I can [video=youtube]

"Watch me bust that freaky ghost" makes me laugh every time, this High Quality Rip is amazing (with some inspiration from

equally awesome song)

 

Like I might put that on our ipod - also just listened to

again and that was the most chair-dancing I've ever done these must go on our ipod. Also also, I just had a thought that it's really, really weird that Tewi and I like, use the same brain to exist. She is very awesome but we're really nothing alike at all.

 

anyways nothing on the dream front (I'm trying to recall dreams but the early bits tend to just not come back), I think I'll be going to sleep soon but after listening to those songs I feel more awake so maybe I'll go a little longer, good night/morning!

[Lucilyn]

actually remembered a lot of dreams last night, definitely getting easier, but it gets harder again so fast idk. It just feels normal whether we remember lots of dreams or nothing at all. I guess maybe if we want to make real progress we have to make it a habit/scheduled sort of thing, I'm just doing it right now because I like dreaming but for the others and maybe me later we should probably get in the habit of paying way too much attention to dreams all night. Actually yeah, I thought about whether that'd get excessive, but it just seems like the sort of environment lucid dreaming would happen in you know? When you get super comfy with dreaming.. every sleep cycle, okay maybe not everyone can relate to that. But anyways when you get comfortable with thinking about the dreams you had as you wake up throughout the night I think that's when lucid dreaming would become a lot easier. anyways I wanted to stay up later playing Yakuza 0 on legendary but our brother got tired before we finished the story so now I'm bored and going to sleep early again, oh well

[Lucilyn]

I stayed up all night so no post yesterday, been awake for like 4 hours now. So I might've had some interesting dreams, who knows, oh wait I had a ~lucid dream wouldn't you think I would remember that immediately after waking up and thinking about my dreams? I really was thinking about what I'd just dreamed and only remembered the non-lucid stuff until I worked my way back and was like oh wait I realized I was dreaming at some point OOPS

 

So in the middle of a dream that had about three complete scenario changes (in a town to in a classroom to in our grandma's house without really going anywhere), at some point when I had to sit at a desk in the classroom when I didn't want to be there (wanted to be going somewhere). But, I just sort of knew I didn't have to do that, because it was a dream. Slight realization, but I didn't even reality check because I just knew you know? Also, there were two rabbits in front of me to my left, and we've never really gotten to see rabbits in real life so I was like :OOO and kind of "leveraged" the dream to my left I guess, just by focusing over there, until I was sitting on the floor by them instead of at my desk. And I did pet them but they more or less turned into cats so it wasn't as cool. And it was while trying to pet them that I pretty much forgot I was dreaming, maybe like ten dream seconds later. GJ me! Or like, dream us, because we're always like Lumi in dreams and acting as but not like him. Probably because when we switch we still gotta act as him anyway most the time. But I was still acting like me, that's usually how it goes when I'm the one dreaming, basically switched IRL = switched in the dream like 80% of the time. Also the cabbits turned into goldfish in a little tank I was carrying around when the scenario changed.

 

So, like I said to myself after remembering that, whether we know we're dreaming or not we still need to follow protocol. I got distracted by rabbits (lol) so that overrode the typical instant boredom of the scenario that tells us we should take control of the dream. But! Protocol is, as soon as we realize we might be dreaming in any capacity, we reality check and then feel our body down to the ground, then take in the area around us, and then generally we'd want to get to the wonderland and ditch the current scenario, so we'd probably do that by turning around and walking through a door that leads straight into our house. Lumi did it once so I'm sure we can do it easily. And in that process I'd say if it's one of us switched but still with Lumi's body we would change to look like ourselves between looking around us and going to the wonderland.

 

For some reason for the last third of the dream

was playing, I'm pretty sure we last listened to that before my time. Anyways, because I remembered something vaguely 'Flandre' about the end of the dream (it was definitely that song), plus getting distracted by the rabbits, I made sure to tell myself that even if the dream is good and we don't necessarily want to change it (like if one of us is already in it!), we still need to take control of the dream. I don't know why I feel like telling myself this will change something when I'm dreaming when we obviously don't think clearly at that point, but I think it will. Like 'cus I told myself to do it no matter what's going on and that it's important (without any reason as to why it's important, in case we forget) the next time we realize we're dreaming everything will go well. Oh, and also even if we feel like we're waking up or can practically see light already (brain sure likes to trick us like that.. we're wearing a sleeping mask half the time) we still gotta keep up the dream control. Like with all that out of the way I don't think we'll ever get tricked again. Right, maybe?

 

Well I wanted to go back to sleep but I spent so long going over the dream/s (like 45 minutes) I was too awake to. But I do feel like I'm on a roll right now so hopefully tomorrow night something will happen too!

heck yes [video=youtube]

I don't know what exactly I dreamed last night, but it was probably somewhat vivid and I remembered at least a few separate dreams. By the way, we usually consider everything during one REM cycle to be a single dream, that just tends to have abrupt scenario changes that are basically separate dreams. But even still, the town to classroom to grandma's house was way, way more connected than any dream to a dream we have an hour later. Even if they're about the same general thing they usually just have a different feel to'em. So anyways, when I say I remembered several dreams I mean more like I remembered the dreams I had just had several times during the night. I mean, it's not even a given that I remember the early scenarios in a dream anyway, sometimes they're real blurry or just straight up gone

[Lucilyn]

oops I checked this thread for something earlier and forgot to post in it. nothing special dream wise last couple days but I did remember two last night, one of which was again not "vivid" but it felt pretty realistic. By the end of it I had picked up $13 off the ground, though I'm not sure $8 dollar bills exist

 

woke up pretty dang early (only slept for 8 hours, from 6PM) so I guess I'll be going to sleep early again today, maybe. Unless something or someone fun keeps me up

 

 

Oh also we have a job runnin fair stands with our older brother in Cali soon, the fair starts on the 20th but we might be going down a whole week early. so three things, it'll be the end of my thousand year reign, we'll be simultaneously a lot busier (much less internet) yet much less busy (nothing to do), and being away from home for an extended period of time is always prime-time for dreaming. Except we might need to get up early but.. guess we can sleep early too.

[Lucilyn]

So I remember my last two dreams left me with the impression that I was legitimately having fun in them, like not even just entertained I actually woke up in a good mood. But I don't remember the first one and I still couldn't remember the first third of my last dream, so idk, weirdly enough my dreams are bein' more realistic without my dream recall even improving lol

 

When I woke up I thought maybe I should switch with Lumi soon, which would be the last time I was here for a while so I was going to say that here, but now I feel like I don't want to. Like, I was gonna give him the last week or so before we left to do basically what I've been doing (lotta nothing but it's been fun) but when I think about it right now I feel kinda scared I guess, it's like the last days of summer vacation where you just want more time and try to make them last even though you literally had like 2 months before that you know?

 

relevant lol [video=youtube]

[tulpa001]

It's sad and I will miss you.

 

Man, those kingdom hearts games are kinda depressing. Don't let other Sora die! He will continue to live within you!

[Lucilyn]

yeh that's what I was going for, Roxas didn't die he just became part of Sora again

 

so I had a lucid dream that's still not really meeting our standards of a "lucid dream" but I guess it's getting closer. I guess some dog from earlier in the dream was pure white and at some point I saw it again and it was black and I was like yeah no and reality checked. I remembered to do the feeling-immersion thing for a few moments (it's pretty weird, it feels sort of like your hands are asleep no pun intended and you're feeling things with them, until you're more immersed in the dream), but then I thought I woke up. I'm pretty sure we're really subconsciously afraid of waking up out of lucid dreams, it's happened twice ever but we've had lots more times where we had false awakenings. But I don't blame the mind anymore or at least this time, I should've had control over that situation, I think it was our expectation of the dream to end that tricked us.

 

Oh well! Doubled down on the "ALWAYS reality check when waking up out of a dream" rule mentally, said it before but didn't think it hard enough I guess. If I'm ever that lucid in a dream again I'll definitely remember this, gonna be part of our dream recalling process soon enough. So at worst we might just lose a tiny bit of time before we're lucid again, though I gotta say the false awakenings are really realistic and kinda take control away (changing your entire dream scenario is hard - staying lucid when the dream changes on its own is hard and overwhelming)

[Lucilyn]

same thing happened where I didn't remember my early dreams, felt like I remembered my second to last dream but then didn't, and remembered the last 2/3 of my last dream. Also I woke up 5 hours after I went to sleep kind of surprised it'd been 5 hours because I didn't remember waking up/any dreams so that sucked. But I have been doing my best to recall the one dream I'm remembering so hopefully I'm at least keeping up the dream clarity if not improving it, I really gotta remember earlier dreams too

 

here's this again because it's what I'm listening to

[video=youtube]

[Lucilyn]

tell dreams do stop be gone pls, dunno why but I'm having trouble remembering them again. And I was just on a roll, too. Well I'm still gonna try, but

 

Full moon is in a couple days and really Tewi and Lumi appreciate it more than I do, so I think I will switch back with Lumi now. And less than a week (~Sunday) before we leave, so I won't be around for a while again. Weeeeell, it'll still be summer when we get back.. so it won't be too long surely. Anyways, this is the end of my thousand year reign, have a fancy song to celebrate the end of the longest time any of us have fronted other than Lumi and probably ever will for a long time

 

Bye!
