I have an experience to share!
Friday I stayed up all night, and had a partial 4 minute MP3 of shamanic drumming. I went to bed around 12 noon and put the mp3 on loop to play continuously.
1 1/2 hours later I had experience 2 WILDs and an extremely long DILD.
The drums provided a steady rhythm to help me recognize and focus on the waking world. I would find myself suddenly not hearing the drums, and it would shock me back awake just enough to hear them.
I continued on this “ebb and flow” of sleep/awake and seen interesting hypnagogic imagery that would seem to instantly surround me in a dream.
I first noticed a cabin in the woods. As I approached the cabin I seen snakes everywhere! I quicky went inside to call my cousin, and there was even snakes inside. When I called her she said she also had a problem with snakes, and it seems like a “snake infestation” all over. This dream started as a WILD but I easily slipped out of lucidity and into the role of the dream. The dream was very short and I quickly slipped out of the dream and back awake to hear the drumming.
I was again “teeter tottering” between dreams and wakefulness.
After another batch of HI and I found myself in an old victorian house. This is a recurring house from my dreams, and I remember dreaming of it the night before.
As I’m walking through the house I found a “Lego” block in the middle of the floor. It raised my lucidity because I remember placing the block there the night before in another dream.
I went into the hallway where a met a group of older ladies, and they were dressed in large old Victorian dresses. They seemed “stern” like teachers, and their faces showed no happy emotion. It was just enough to make me fear them slightly. They escorted me to another room where we started to discuss dreaming. The conversation was soon interupted as I found myself slipping out of the dream. The last image of the dream is of a very close and detailed image of one of the ladies stern face.
I was again awake enough to hear the drums, but “not awake” and still on the edge of a dream.
I eventually found myself around a few of the members of the #ld4all chatroom. One of the members, Litefoot, escorted me back to his apartment. This was a start of a very long and realistic DILD. I remember exploring his apartment, and looking at his pictures on the wall and comparing the images of Litefoot with the DC litefoot. A female that I thought was his wife was sitting on the couch, and she seemed annoyed.
By then the dream seemed so long and real I thought it would be a good idea to wake from it to share with the chatroom.
I asked Litefoot “I’m going to wake up now, what should you tell me to say to the chatroom when I wake up?”
and he thought very hard, and made the sound “HMmmmmmmm, Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm” over and over.
I interupted him and said “It must be something very interesting, and something they havn’t heard before” and again this seemed to make him think harder "HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
and then he blurted out “sister”
I thought “hmm, sister. Maybe he means Aydira of another female will be in the chatroom when I wake up.” Or maybe someone there can understand what “sister” means. So I woke myself up.
I was excited and hyper in my lucid dream, but I woke up into a sleeping tired body. Once awake I had 2nd thoughts of picking the keyboard up to type, but I did anyways.
I quickly shared my dream with Wilitus and Likvidy^ in the chatroom. I wanted to quickly write it down so I could go back to sleep. If I wrote anything down I wanted it to be “sister” so I could remember what my DC told me.
I picked up my DD and saw that “sister” was already wrote down.
I thought “How could this be? I havn’t taken the lid off of the pen?”
My written DD is usually just key words and phrases, and then later I try to put the dream together in electronic form via forum/chat/journal. I keep all keywords of a night’s dream on one line.
On a line all by itself, and what looks like a 2nd DD entry was just “sister”
Can you imagine going to write “sister” in your DD and it is already written for you?!? It was really amazing for me to experience.
No, I don’t have a sister, and if this is a recurring dream sign I’m not sure what it could mean. I have no memory of a previous dream that would make me write “sister” on a line to itself.
This experience makes me question many things:
-Is this coincidence?
-Did my DC/Subconscious know that “sister” was the first written word I would see when I woke up?
-Did my DC/Subconscious know that this was the last word of my DD?
-Did the word “sister” magically appear on the paper in my hand writing?
-Did this shamanic drumming have an influence on my dreams and/or precognative precognitive abilities?
I tried again tonight, but I slept a more proper sleep schedule and I wasn’t sleep deprived. I remember a few good dreams but nothing out of the ordinary.
