Am I crazy, or is this the first post in this group?
Cool!
Ok so, I used to dream journal really regularly, but with the birth if my second daughter, I’ve had to make tough choices and cut certain activities in order to carry on with others.
Those of you who’ve seen my other posts here probably know that means I quit journalling dreams in order to give myself more time for brewing and rucking, but mostly playing and talking about flutes!
Well, lately I’ve been thinking about that old dream journal again, and I wondered if bringing some attention to it on here could reignite my once thriving passion for chasing the ultimate dream…the lucid dream.
So, I have a limited amount of content since I stopped journalling, and I don’t plan on sharing all 131 pages individually, but rather I just thought I’d bring in the highlight reels so to speak.
As I dug through my old journal, whose last entry is dated July 6th of 2021, I thought, there’s some stuff in here that’s pretty neat!
In the above pages, you can see my first transition towards including illustrations among the text. This was sort of a LOA manifestation through dreaming; the illustration shown embedded in the text on the right was of a house on which we had just lost the bid. As I lay down that night, I focused my intention on the house coming back to us. As I dreamt, I saw what I interpreted as that same house, coming under my ownership. Within a month or so I’ve documenting that dream, our realtor called me and told me that the owner had fixed a bunch of things from the previous inspections, dropped the price, and wanted to offer to me first…I live there to this day with my wife and our two kids :)
I’m a big believer in attraction and manifestation, and also in the power of using dreams to further these objectives. This was one of my first big successes, but flipping through the journal and seeing this really took me back.
This was another cool one I found. I ran over a bunch of torsos with a truck one night, laid still while a bear sniffed and checked me out later that same night (I still remember that one as fresh as the morning when I woke up from it!), and then a month later had a dream I was coughing up fish. On the right, I diagrammed a dream exercise to practice jumping out of your dream body. I hoped to do this in a lucid dream, and perhaps by doing so, to initiate an out of body experience. So far no luck, but I’m not giving up hope!
I hope by reviewing and sharing some of my more memorable dream experiences, that I can make progress towards the goal of lucid dreaming on a regular/consistent basis.
Do you know of any habits or practices that helped you achieve this goal? From what I’ve seen in other polls, it’s quite uncommon for people to have lucid dreams on a super-consistent basis.

I don't remember my dreams after taking many Vipassana SN Goenka meditation retreats in the 90s and early 2000s. I used to have night terrors since I can remember as a young kid into adulthood, but after retreat work, I don't remember dreaming, including night terrors are gone. I manifest what I want through research and developing a process, and breaking the process into bite-sized pieces. What's weird are my insights. An example, I need to be debt-free, have stored water, a home with no mortgage, and a big garden with some chickens. I've felt this need since my early 20s; I'm in my 60s now. All the decisions I've made have added to having what I wanted in the last three years. Some of those choices which manifested my insights were made in the 90s. I wish I could remember my dreams. It would make all my hard work fun. Oh, another thing my family thinks I am crazy, I don't care 😂😂😂
Hahaha!!! I like you.
My family thinks I’m crazy too…although, I usually say they know I’m crazy; I concede with an easy heart and mind that my way of thinking is nothing short of abstract compared to how they interpret things :)
Good goals as far as I’m concerned, I actually randomly had the urge to get chickens two years ago. Still haven’t done it, but haven’t lost the desire to do so either. The debt and mortgage goals I also share, but that’s all a ways out at present. Still coming to me though, I believe that and I work towards it with every choice I make.
Thanks for your response, im going to follow you, if im not already!
Oh, I forgot to mention your dream journey is incredible. 😍 I've had lucid dreams at meditation retreat but can't do that at home. I need to meditate most of the day for at least three solid days and only get 4 hours of sleep every day.😂😂😂
Hahaha!! I’ve only had a rare few myself, but have been able to enjoy going through phases of forgetting / remembering dreams. Remembering can be exhausting at times, especially if you’re trying to keep a journal of them all.
But in the winter, Orion drags Sirius right over me while I sleep, and I can’t help but think that brings me back into my dreaming phase.
…I checked out some of your art - you’re really talented, I’ll be coming back to see more when soon, but I wanted to respond and let you know.
Thanks for responding to my dream journal, I’m really excited to start going back through it :)
Wow, that’s a cool dream journal mate. It’s crazy the amount of details you put in it.
I do have lucid dreams quite regularly. I sometimes feel I could assess the ratio dream / reality mix some times.
Nice to see that Hive seems to have opened up your content creation side.
Thanks!
That’s awesome, I would love to get to where I’m able to experience lucid dreams more often. Perhaps talking about it here and reviewing old dreams might be a step in that direction!
And definitely, it was a tough transition coming from Reddit, where I would usually post an image with a few words in the title, but now that I’m getting a better feel for what content here should look like, I feel it’s helping me grow as a creator. I’ve also worked out a schedule to help me feed my multiple areas if interest without spamming the chain :)
Yay! 🤗
