dj = dream journal
sorry bad habit from the other forum im on

and it is a lot of work but when you get lucid dreams from it it instantly (imo) becomes worth the effort
(lucid dreams being controlled dreams)

you should pursue it more then AOC sounds like you enjoy it alot!

ive had 8 crappy ones im my life all induced as i never seem to notice im dreaming on my own ;.;

they are fun though ...have yet to fly xD.....done the other things though

I've never eaten any of my dreams

I've only had a few lucid dreams. The last one I've had involved me dieing and roaming the afterlife, which strangely enough, was only a collection of ~20 buildings in neat, orderly rows.

I want to learn how to lucid dream in order to make Astral Projection easier.

oh it made me laugh frey i was just confused as we were talking about food and not the dreams as a whole

nice homer and oddly sounds fitting

now i have a question for you though homer do you believe there is a difference between a OBE/Astral projection and lucid dreaming or are they one and the same. i've heard many different stories and participated in many arguments over this concept xD

and ill gladly help point you in the right track if you want just answer this question first

"How good is your dream recall?"

I think there is definitely a difference between LD and AP. LD, I think, is more or less your conscious mind telling your subconscious mind what it wants and your subconscious builds the dream world. In AP I think it deals much closer to the subconscious to the point that part, if not all, of it becomes accessible. Furthermore I believe that during AP you are dealing with higher dimensions. (After all, we all exist on every dimension we are just aware of only the first four due to five and above being tightly curled) I believe that in AP the fifth and perhaps sixth become uncurled for you perception of them. Beyond that I have talked to friends who have gone through AP and in AP, you can cause mental damage if you are not careful ie, depression. LD does not carry that risk in my experience.

I believe that the reason LD is so similar to AP is because, when you dream your mind is close to that state where you can project. In LD, since you can control it without breaking that trance, it becomes easier to make that step up to AP as you are already in that state.

"How good is your dream recall?"

My dream recall is so-so. I an remember some dreams. Those that I don't I usually can remember the overall theme of the dream or at least specific parts.

as for the dream recall i guess a better question would be out of how many nights a week do you remember dreams...

I would guess three - four if that. I don't dream nearly as much as I used to.

regardless though I am going to tell you to start a dream journal though.

I had a feeling that would be the case

Has anyone here had a recursive dream, where you dreamt you were dreaming, and woke up twice?
Also, on the subject of reality checks, I've heard digital clocks have bizzare dream behavior.
