Milk and honey :)

For those of you who “train”, try this one out (used to drink alot when I was a kid)

Hot milk with honey and one egg! that’s something =D (may sound as if it will taste like crap but it’s really good, and yeah don’t forget to mix it with a spoon or so :cool: )

Yes! Even more so I would say. For me at least it seems like Lucid Dreams have another element tucked into it somehow. I can’t explain it. I love nature too, (I live on Kauai) and sometimes when I go for a hike I find a scenic spot, and sit quietly enjoying the scene. Yet still, with all this beauty it feels like something is missing. In an LD the beautiful scenery feels complete. That’s the only way I can think of describing it.

You think warm soymilk and honey would work? Can’t say I like milk much.

Soymilk… hmmm. It has different properties from regular milk. I don’t know if it could have the same result as it doesn’t have the same kinds of saturated fats or amino acid profile. Still, give it a shot you never know.

Try adding a table-spoon of cream with the milk, it gives the milk a more natural taste and actually improves it even more.
But it’s even better if you can order fresh milk from a farm, which I did the other day. :cool:

Yeah, I think I understand what you mean. ^^
I would imagine that the scenery feels “richer” and more colourful and present in the LDs.

But it sure seems thrilling to enjoy a dream that is so real you could mistake it for reality, it must be sheer happiness it its purest form. ^^

well, i´m not doing particulary good.
the night before yesterday i got 0 dreams and last night i had a dream or two, i´m sure, but i wasn´t able to recall it. so at this moment milk and honey haven´t done much for me.
but i´m soon heading on summer vacation and i´ll get get more sleep then, live a different life etc. let´s see what happens then.

I can only confirm that hot chocolate seems to be good for dream recall and vividness. As for milk and honey, I didn’t try that much these days. However, it’s not your macical lucidity potion, at least for me. Though I don’t have too much time to think about LDs during the day, so that’s pretty sure part of what keeps me from becoming lucid at the moment.

looks like i´m gonna be tryin´ hot chocolate soon, becuse i´m still not getting anywhere.
i know i dreamed last night (yeah, i know we all dream every night, but i´m sure you know very well what i´m trying to say), but i wasn´t able to recall it in the moning.

well, i managed not to fail as bad as i did on previous nights this night (what a sentence, ain´t it!?). i was able to remember a very short dream where i learned that i got a 3 on my test. neat!
i´ll be doing milk and honey for three more nights and then switch to hot chocolate for a short while.

lolz what

milk and honey bad? no. delicious.

nothing last night. uhhhhhh…

thats probably because you didnt drink enough. Also, perhaps the fat content of the milk matters?

“thats probably because you didn´t drink enough” - i wish i heard that phrase more often (possible zing!)…
ok… how much should i drink then? and i´ve drunk the mix with both 2,5% and 3,5% milk.
about last night - nothing. this is starting to suck.

this dryspell is not human! it can´t be reasoned with!
again, nothing.

64, when are you waking up and when do you normally write dreams down? If you’re not already, you should really consider setting an alarm for 5 1/2 hours after you fall asleep. You may not remember dreams from before it, but the dreams after will be much easier. You don’t even have to get out of bed, you just need to interrupt the start of that REM cycle.

Yep 64 I too believe that helps. I have been waking myself up at 4 AM every morning, staying up for at least half hour, basically spending the time writing down my dreams before the alarm went of, (most of the time I remember at least some fragments if I don’t remember the whole dream). Then I read or re-read something about LDing, and go back to sleep with the thought of what I want to achieve once lucid. It has really helped me! So far I have had 6 LDs in the last 2 weeks.
And don’t forget RCs during the day. The one I am still working on and still haven’t mastered :sad: is doing an RC every time I open a door (cupboard, fridge, regular door etc.) I can’t believe how often I still miss them because my head is in the clouds, thinking about one thing or another and not being present in the moment.
Also, get one of those little clip-on book lights so you don’t torture yourself by turning on a bright light right after waking up. Those little book lights get you used to light slowly.

first of all, a big thanks for your help and ideas, kauaidreamer and rhewin. i will probably try that waking up thing for some time (i have tried it before, but not for a long period of time) and the idea of doing a reality check every time i open a door is close to being ingenious - i´ll definitely be doing that, because doing rcs is really a thing i tend to forget to do.
and i don´t have to bother with the lamp because where i live the nights are so short at this time of the year that even during the darkest three hours (between 00.00 and 3.00) you can almost read a book without any aditional light.
as it´s summer holiday for me, i ususally wake up around 10.00 and that is the moment when i write down my dreams.
so, now to what i´ve been doing -
two nights ago i had a dream and in the end actually realized it was a dream but was kinda like “uhh, it´s fading anyways, i won´t have time to do anything” - the dream really was getting blurry and fading away.
a night ago i had a normal dream and that was the first night when i drank chocolate milk (or hot chocolate, as you like) in stead of milk n honey before going to sleep.
…and last night i got nothing because… let´s say i had been consuming liquids (in addition to chocolate milk) that tend to prevent remembering your dreams.

You can thank Stephen LaBerge for that one! In his book Exploring the world of lucid dreaming page 77 (paper back version) he created a list of daily targets. He actually gives 4 examples of targets each day. Well… I created my version for Dummies (LOL) and just try to master one first, and keep at it until I’ve got it, then I’ll add another so I have 2 targets a day. I am just too much of a space cadet, and have trouble living in the here and now. :cloud9:

last night i as able to remember my dream, but at some point, i was also able to forget it. so it all equals out in the end, i believe.

last night i was woken up by my phone: i received a text message and was unable to fall asleep again afterwards, but thanks to the interruption (after 5 hrs of sleep, at 11 am) i was able to recall 3 dreams or segments.
i´ll do this thing until the end of this week and then stop the whole milk thing, i´ll just be trying different stuff then.
at this point i must say i haven´t seen any improvement in anything… but strangely enough, i´ve been getting lots of dreams about (having) sex. even last night - two dreams out of three were pretty much just SEX.
