A return to lucid dreaming

I can say now that we’re on to the second lesson, that TWR heavily emphasizes the “three precious pills” (he also calls these “the three doors”) of stillness (of the body), silence (of speach), and spaciousness (of mind/heart). This is an interesting update from his book, where he does mention them in the “simple practices” section, but now he’s integrated them into the main dream yoga practice as the basis of creating lucid presence and awareness.

Tonight I had a very stable lucid dream, for quite some time, and noticed several patterns for it to happen - because at the moment, I’m allowing them to happen spontaneously:

Tomorrow I go on a journey, and I realize now (based on previous experiences) that there is a high probability to dream lucid the day before or on the night itself.
Yesterday, before sleep, I visualized my day from the perspective of it being a dream (I hadn’t done this for a while now, and it usually creates lucid dreaming).
Sometimes, I drink a glass of water after waking up to register a dream and/or go to the toilet, and then go back to dream. The last two lucid dreams I had were after doing this.
The last two nights I smoked the room with sage.
I keep practicing Lu Jong almost everyday and day lucidity by chanting the mantra “Om Ami Dey Wa Hri”, singing and nature.
After waking up one time, I go back to sleep saying to myself “I am a Dream Light Warrioress, I keep Conscious and Lucid in my dreams”.

This week I have also realized that I have a dream catcher I weaved for my dream practice (not thinking about lucid dreams at that time), and it was from that moment on that I started dreaming super lucid.

Another interesting factor is that this lucid dream was a continuation of my last lucid dream :heart_eyes: this has happened before, but not the LD right after, and not after such a short period of time. I had noticed this with months of distance. At the moment I am also just allowing the lucid dream to unfold itself and witness the magic :rose:

Tonight I had one of the most amazing Lucid Dreams ever!..

I was with a man (that I don’t see for some time - we are only friends, for four years now), when the sexual energy emerged I became lucid and said “If I’m lucid, let’s do something”: stood in front of him and hugged him with my wings - several times, I was standing up, creating consciously the movement of my wings to go and touch him. The last two times I REALLY felt the contact with his bodies! It was awesome! :heart_eyes: then there was sexual energy again, and I came back :cowboy_hat_face:

What happened before:
» I traveled back home on that day;
» I read a fascinating book about lucid dreaming before going to bed;
» I fell asleep connecting with two powerful memories: 1. dear friends, family and hugging them (one of them was this man I dreamt with); 2. one of the best moments of my summer - meditating at the beach;
» I did the Kubera Mudra after waking up one time, together with the affirmation “I am a Dream Light Warrioress, I keep Conscious and Lucid in my dreams”.

Lucidity is slowly starting to make a return. I’ve had a handful of lucid dreams in the last couple weeks, including one just last night, which was really quite an awesome short LD, because it was finally a manifestation of my practice: just walking, alone, outside, on a quiet road with cabins on both sides of the road in a wooded setting (very much like my daily walks), it was bright and super vivid, and the thought came to me, “this is a dream!” and indeed it was! I looked around in amazement at the detail, up at the cloudy blue sky, and had a small bit of success actually implementing my primary dream goals.
I’ve been really working on the intensity of the day-time practice in the last couple of days. TWR mentioned in the course in an answer to me that it takes “quite an intensity and repetition” for the foundational practices to manifest in dreams, so I’ve be ramping up that part, and glad to see a small inkling of progress!

Awesome news that the LDs are being rekindled. Appreciate the reminder and advice from Master TWR! Cool semi-Synch: I cracked open his book again after about a 5 week hiatus. Will post the meaningful quote in the other thread.

LOVE it!

I wonder if there is a name for this phenomena?

Have heard of it happening in non-lucid dreams as well. One of my firends told me the most memorable dreams he had, were the 2 back to back dreams over 2 consecutive nights. Both were non lucid.

I dont think I have ever had this happen in any type of dream
:disappointed:

awesome! :dolphin:

I read it in 11 days!!! this is so rare to happen!

let’s give it a name… just for fun…
“dream album”

we can only discover it by, every now and then, going back to read registered dreams :cowboy_hat_face: this because, in my case, it started happening with around 6 months of difference :wink:
