Shifting with Purble

good luck!

I doubt I will post every day, but I will update when I have something worthy of updating. See you soon!

between senioritis, graduating, and preparing for college, i haven't had much time to focus on ludic dreaming, so for the next few weeks i will be posting fairly sporadically. sorry for the lack of posts, but i have too much on my plate right now. i plan to start posting again in a few weeks, after i graduate :)

p.s. i got a book about lucid dreaming, so i will also be reading that these upcoming weeks

Week 3 will combine both habits, and I will focus on doing the Wake Back to Bed Method for the week. Hopefully by then, most of my Lucid Dreaming Habits will be built.

be in bed by 11:30, fall asleep by 12:00, and set an alarm for 1:20. wake up to said alarm, write down dream, and fall back asleep, attempting to reenter the dream.

I've been trying to shift through Astral Projection, but that means I have to learn how to Astral Project. I do believe I can do it, but I do tend to fall asleep when I attempt. Yesterday, I tried to Astral Project during the day and still fell asleep, but I think the more I focus and the more I do it during the day, the less I'll fall asleep. I have heard that Astral Projection is fairly experimental, so I'll keep messing around with it.

im getting back into it! (thanks TWD). right now i'm focusing on astral projecting my way into a different reality. unfortunately i have been so exhausted lately that i keep falling asleep before i can even really attempt, so I'll keep working on it

I havent been attempting to shift or lucid dream lately since i've been so busy with school, but i am getting back in the habit of writing down my dreams, which is making my dreams more vivid and easier to remember. hopefully i'll be back where i was before christmas pretty soon!

a few days after i stopped posting, i started having lucid dreams every night. i would always end up forgetting i was dreaming, and i would carry on, but its still progress. i did stop practicing over winter break, but i started school again yesterday, so i do plan on posting on weekdays again, and i hope i'll be able to get back to where i was with lucid dreaming, and hopefully build up some momentum.

I typically know I am in the Void State when i feel very far away from my Current Reality. I also feel very floaty and like my hands and feet are numb and tingly. I also like to try to imagine my CR surroundings, and if i have a hard time with that, i know I've entered the Void State

last night i attempted a shifting "method" which was a little bit successful. i almost reached the Void state but i got uncomfortable and rolled over and went to sleep. I woke up at 3 am ish to do a lucid dream method, but before i did that i checked my email and found out i got into one of my top 3 colleges so thats pretty slay. then i ended up doing another shifting method which wasn't very successful. I think I should stick to doing shifting methods when i go to bed, and lucid dreaming methods in the middle of the night.

In a previous post, I expressed my frustration with my lack of success. This got me thinking about what i can do successfully when it comes to dreaming. I can return to dreams, even after i wake up from them. This is something i've always been able to do, and i have a theory. if when i wake up in the middle of the night to do my lucid dream method, i roll over and go back to sleep, simply setting the intention to return to a past dream. i like to choose vivid dreams, or dreams that strike a strong emotion in me, as those are the easiest to return to. if i have a dream before i wake up in the night, i will use that dream to return to the sleeping world. since that's not very likely based on how sleep schedules work, i do have a recent dream picked out which did create strong emotions within me.

I said i would share ALL aspects of my lucid dreaming and reality shifting journey, and here's a negative aspect. I am extremely frustrated with my lack of success, as I have been attempting to Lucid Dream every night for about a month now, and I have seen no lucid dreams. I have followed all advice on the internet, i have tried several different methods, and i just can't seem to induce a lucid dream. I feel like i almost wouldn't believe in it if i didn't have common sense and had done it before. I am at a loss with what to do, but winter break is coming up, so I am hoping that during that time i'll be less tired and will be able to focus more on lucid dreaming. in the mean time, i will continue attempting, but i grow frustrated.

I wake up at 3 am, and stay up for a few minutes. Then I fall back asleep. As I fall back asleep, I repeat in my head "i will lucid dream" and I pay attention to my sight, touch, and hearing.

Lately, I've been falling out of the habit of doing reality checks, meditating, writing down dreams, and waking up to do the Lucid Dream method. Today, I am working on doing all of those things, and I am thinking about changing methods to one that I could do as I fall asleep for the night instead of waking up in the middle of the night to do. If anyone knows of any, please let me know!
