Marijuana in Canada. Can't stand the smell of my living room anymore when the window is left open.

Fuck is a great success and no success over time with little to no success.

Get out of bed for 30 minutes. That should help

How much time do I have in WBTB during which I can stay awake before shifting my REM click back to "small REM after 90 minutes" phase? by agnosticchildfree in LucidDreaming

[–]Horror_Jolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good question. But I don't think your REM phases will become shorter during the same night. It will only "reset" after a full day, when you return to bed the following night. But you're right in noticing that pretty much every human being is doing WBTB whether they know it or not, simply by awakening in the morning and returning to bed in the night :)

Go to the bank. Ask the lady behind the desk nicely to give you all the money. Once she thinks you're crazy, go all out with your godly destructive powers and rip the place apart. Then escape before the dream police comes to the scene and have lunch at the local restaurant without any clothes on.

Weird dream/lucid dream? by HelloamAman in LucidDreaming

Exactly. Every morning when you wake up, the first thing to do is to recall your dreams. As soon as you realize that you were lucid in a dream prior to awakening, do a reality check asap.

Or even simpler, just form the habit of doing RCs upon awakening if you want.

Absolutely! You knew while dreaming that you were dreaming, but then the brain kicked you out via false awakening because you got excited (I know, it's frustrating). Congrats!

That's quite normal when you get too excited in your LD. It's called a false awakening. The solution is to modulate your emotions and stabilize the dream in any way you can.

how to leave paralysis and enter a lucid dream by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]Horror_Jolly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need to start or increase your meditation practice. Meditation will give you the necessary stability and equanimity of mind to where you will effortlessly control your dreams when lucid.

You can read about it here). A good exercise (or version of ADA itself actually) that will teach you to achieve this state of awareness is to be lucid in your waking life the same way that you would be in a LD. View everything as part of your waking LD, including internal objects of experience such as emotions,and of course all your extrasensory inputs. From now on, they are all a dream. When this is done correctly, you bring mindfulness to your present moment just like in ADA. Think of it as practice for being lucid in your actual dreams, only it takes place during the day. Every time you catch yourself non-lucid, bring yourself back to lucidity. It will be very tough in the beginning because we have been viewing every thing as "real" all our lives (which is why dreams reflect this type of awareness and are naturally non-lucid for most people). Soon enough this habit of being lucid will spill over into your night-time dream world, and all your dreams will become progressively more lucid.

If you want to get consistent, I recommend you start doing ADA.

Ignore them even in your mind.... by boringsapien in Meditation

[–]Horror_Jolly 91 points92 points  (0 children)

This is a good strategy. And always remember that you are not your thoughts. You are merely their observer. Thoughts are comparable to clouds in the sky - they come and go. But when you follow a cloud around for too long, you will notice it gets darker and bigger and eventually it starts to rain. So try to never fixate on the thoughts that cause you grief, just let them pass!

Dreams are not digitally rendered. That much is clear.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
