Lucid Dream Quest: 2 LD in a row!

Had 2 lucids in a row today (april, 19th, 2005). Vividness 4 (from 1 to 5) and ended a 22 days dry spell!!! Did not control anything, just went in the dream flown. The first one last just one minute; the second one several minutes. The first lucid happened between 5:00am and 5:40am. The second one at 06:20am.

In the fist lucid I just “realize” that I was dreaming. In the second one I pinched my nose to do the reality check.

Went to bed at 10:30pm. My son (2 years old) slept with me and my wife. Wake up at 11:20pm to put him on his bed. 4 dreams total for the night. Tried WILD at 03:00am with no success. Got deeply paralysed but just that. I concentrated a lot in the Ajna Chakra (Third Eye, between eyebrows), focusing in a white dot there. At 4:00am my son woke up with a bad cough. I went to the kitchen and got a syrup to him. So, I did a forced WBTB

In the first lucid I slept on the left side and my right nostril was open. In the second lucid I had slept on the left side of the body but both my nostrils were open. The nostrils open/close stuff I took from a experiment in the nasal cycle from the Lucidity Institute. Do not know if it influences the lucid dreams, but I started to put it in my journal also.

I did MILD before sleep and at every time that I woke up after REMs.

Vitamins/pills: I DID NOT took any B complex pills nor Valerian tea for the night.

Food: I ate a hole veggie pizza and drank tea at dinner (8:00pm).

How to Blog Safely (About Work or Anything Else)

Blogs are like personal telephone calls crossed with newspapers. They’re the perfect tool for sharing your favorite chocolate mousse recipe with friends–or for upholding the basic tenets of democracy by letting the public know that a corrupt government official has been paying off your boss.

Lucid Dream Quest: 200 dreams recorded

Today I had my 200th dream recorded in my dream journal since I started the lucid dream study in january, 6th. My dreams recall are getting better but my lucid dreams are getting worst. I was having 2-3 dream recalls per night and in the last week it improved to 4-5 dreams per night. My lucid dreams were in something like 1/week and now it appears to be changing to 1 every 2 weeks.
