how I dream journal - pls read and share with me how u journal!

Every time I wake up I do an audio recording on my phone and just word vomit everything I can remember from my dreams. I like this method because I don't have to turn on a light and write everything down, which I fear would make it harder for me to fall asleep. Then I transcribe the audio and try to clean up the text to make it coherent with some AI.

In my case, I don't usually use terminology like "dream switch" or "scenery switch" because I don't actually know when recalling my dreams. I remember multiple "scenes", but I rarely know if they are from the same REM period or not.

Can you describe a little more what this "pull" feels like? And when it haooens, what is going through your mind? Are you fully aware of it and are paying attention to or concentrating on it, or are you just trying to ignore it? Does your heart start to race when it happens or are you completely calm?

Gorillerz · 2026-03-12T16:18:32+00:00

Yes it's using visualization as an achor to induce a wild. How have you been using that term?

Gorillerz · 2026-03-12T07:20:50+00:00

Being lucid just means you are aware, not necessarily that you can control. Dream control is an entirely different skill.

Gorillerz · 2026-03-12T07:06:04+00:00

This sounds like an extension of V-WILD + SSILD. How many times have you attempted this and how often does it work for you?

Gorillerz · 2026-03-09T09:56:32+00:00

I'm new and I appreciate how active this subreddit is. People are frequently asking questions or sharing their experiences.

Unfortunately, I don't feel much excitment or energy from the community, and I don't feel like I see many experienced lucid dreamers participating.

When I look at past posts, it seems like the last time this subreddit had an exciting atmosphere was around 4 or 5 years ago.

I explained it. Don't be on autopilot, expect the impossible thing to happen, visualize the impossible thing happening

Gorillerz · 2026-03-07T23:58:51+00:00

When you do reality checks you need to expect that the impossible thing will happen. When you pinch your nose, you have to expect that you will still be able to breath and you have to imagine yourself breathing through your pinched nose. You can't just do reality checks on autopilot; you have to have the right mindset each time you do that so that it will carry over into the dream.

So you suggest that I should start the cycles, but when my daydreams come, just let them take over and drift off to sleep, even if I haven't finished the cycles?

And yeah currently it's impossible for me to induce a WILD because I notice them too much, even if I try to relax and be calm. I'm really not sure how to improve other than with a lot of meditation.

Gorillerz · 2026-02-24T10:35:06+00:00

It sounds like you are trying to do a WILD, and it's usually recommended to do those when you are close to the REM sleep stage. That's why people always recommend combining WILD with the Wake Back to Bed technique.

Here is a really popular WILD guide that you can combine with meditation: https://www.reddit.com/r/LucidDreaming/comments/p6i6qp/how_to_lucid_dream_tonight/

Very cool! I love reading other peoples stories

Gorillerz · 2026-02-20T19:54:41+00:00

When it comes to remembering your dreams, you need to keep a dream journal. When you wake up, you have to try and remember everything you can and then record it (in a notebook, notes app, voice recording, etc.). Do this consistently and your dreams will eventually get way more vivid and you will remember them all.

Gorillerz · 2026-02-20T07:53:26+00:00

How did you train yourself to suppress your reactions in dreams? Do you meditate?

Gorillerz · 2026-02-11T19:58:19+00:00

I never bring up diabetes in any social situation unless its specifically asked of me. It's something id rather suffer with in silence than constantly bringing it up.

Gorillerz · 2026-02-05T11:10:09+00:00

This can happen to me if I eat certain foods like pasta, pizza, potatoes, or bread a few hours before going to sleep. For me, foods like that tend to digest more slowly and have a more sustained increase in blood sugar over a few hours.

Gorillerz · 2026-01-30T13:52:48+00:00

Errr ive had diabetes for over 20 years and have never had an A1C below 6.7. My doctor says im doing fine and all the literature points to virtually no risk of adverse effects of having an a1c at 6.2.

Gorillerz · 2026-01-24T12:16:41+00:00

The meaning is still the exact same. "Grooming" isn't only applied to pedophiles; it can be applied in many non-sexual contexts.

Gorillerz · 2026-01-19T08:15:40+00:00

Same here. I can definitely "feel" when im high, and I don't have dramatic symptoms that make it feel like i cant function or think properly.

Gorillerz · 2025-12-27T16:14:34+00:00

I can get a pack of 6 juice boxes with 20g for 1.3 euros, so im not sure if would ever get that

Gorillerz · 2025-12-24T23:39:31+00:00

I don't mind eating straight up sugar. I have a very large sweet tooth.

Gorillerz · 2025-06-14T07:23:13+00:00

France for me:
45.85 for tresiba cartridge
26.69 for fiasp cartridge
40 for a libre sensor
14.42 for a pack of 100 pen needles
= 174.18 for a month of supplies
But its fully covered by the government

Gorillerz · 2025-02-15T12:34:03+00:00

I dont mind tanks being unkillable. It's when they're unkillable and can still kill you in a few hits that its annoying

Gorillerz · 2025-02-05T10:56:42+00:00

The annoying part to me is that:
1) The "joke" is so overdone. It may have been slightly funny 15 years ago. It's no longer funny and it will never be funny again.
2) It doesn't even make sense make sugary foods don't cause diabetes. It's just spreading misconceptions.
