LD Dreamku

I worked up the nerve to try a dreamku, after being inspired by writings of a daily dreamku-er Roswila from Roswila's Dream and Poetry Realm.

Searching ~ Feb 19th

hind doors, doors and doors
shifting destinies do hide
frolic, find and fall

I must admit, writing haiku is intimidating. I'm a rambler. Summarizing something into a handful of words is a difficult task for me. I gave it a shot though, a dreamku about my last lucid dream.
Don't laugh too hard at my meager attempt. Read more...

Insomnia Beatdown

<----Me for the past 2 or so months.

I may be beating the bastard insomnia down. After a few changes to my dream practices and sleep schedule ...BAM... sweet slumber has returned. I've yet to sleep the night through but I am not waking up 500 times a night as I had been.


I may be jumping the gun here but... Insomnia can officially kiss my ass.

Changes instituted:
~Quit attempting to lucid dream for a few days
~Didn't type up my dream journal (still jotted dream summaries down though)
~Eliminated as much stress as possible
~Moved my bedtime up a half an hour
~Log off computer half an hour before bed
~Listen to calm music for that half hour
~Do a series of easy yoga stretches to that music
~After stretches I clear my mind and relax to music in the dark
~Considering buying a couple of corks to cram up a certain snorer's nostrils

It sounds like a lot but it really isn't.
The stretches don't take long and they feel great. I get a few minutes to let my brain dumb down and then it's off to bed. The past few nights have been a decent quality of sleep, or at least of a much better quality than I was getting.

I'm already starting to feel like my usual light and lovely self again.
A few more days of this and I should be back to spamming up Dream Views like I used to.

INSOMNIA

Dream Theme this time around isn't really about dreaming but lack of dreaming and sleep... as in I'M SUFFERING FROM A SEVERE CASE OF INSOMNIA THESE PAST FEW WEEKS!!!

by Faithless

Thanks to danceradio for this video.


Maybe posting this video and acknowledging the problem out in the open will be one of the factors that will help overcome the zombifying curse of sleeplessness.

Or maybe I should just shove corks up the nostrils of the person who's window rattling snoring is adding to my problem. Ah, what the hell. I'll do both and hope for the best.

Insomnia by Faithless

Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle, fight dark forces
In the clear moon light
Without fear... insomnia
I can't get no sleep

I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry
Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia please release me and let me dream of
Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearin' off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks
Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still, that night I write by candle light
I find insight, fundamental movement, uh
So when it's black this insomniac take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep

I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep, although I get no sleep
I need to sleep, although I get no sleep

LUCID HAVE DONES LIST

Snoring Man's last comment was what inspired this post.

I've been Lucid Dreaming for years. But I never actually took the time to log some of the odd things I've done while journeying within. So here it is, the list of strange stuff I've done while lucid.

~Sprouted wings and flew
~Materialized 3 more of me
~Inflated my boobs, massively
~Watched the 'real' me sleeping

~Switched places with my reflection
~Made my pointer finger fire bullets
~Rearranged stars & spelled my name
~Extracted evil from A Dream Character
