Success! I just had my first lucid dream.

I'm really excited! I just woke up about 1 hour ago, and I've eaten some breakfast.
It came as kind of a shock to me, because I didn't think I was going to be able to have a successful lucid dream that fast. I've written down the dreams, so that you can all read it, if you want. It's quite a long read, but in my opinion it's worth it, and especially if you are trying to lucid dream yourself.

Some backstops.
I was pretty drunk last night, when I went to bed. I drank as much water as I could, to avoid the hangover.
I'm not a 100% sure this has anything to do with my lucid dreams, but I think they might.
I've been doing reality checks about 30 times a day, for the last week and a half. I've also been keeping a dream journal, from 3 days before my last blog post.

So here is what I wrote after I woke up.
(sorry for the weird spacing, but I wrote it in window notepad, and wasn't even fully awake)
I just had my first lucid dream.

In the first one, I was on some kind of muddy grass field, but with a view of a lake. It was a mixture between "Lyngby sø", and a picture i saw on facebook. When the dream started, I don't really remember what happened all that well, but I know my brother somehow had something
To do with it. He influenced me to go to this weird place. Anyway. I was on the field, with some kind of old big guy. He was making
a painting of the scene. I had a microphone, and some guy behind me was holding a camera. I think I was a news reporter or something.
In the middle of the interview, the old guy stared right into my eyes, and said, "You are dreaming". His head then went back to being
Completely normal.  The next thing I did was squeeze my nose, and see
If I could breath though it. I could.
And this is where I think it wen't wrong. I tried stabilizing my dream by quickly moving around, but it felt like I was underwater.
I couldn't move around really. Everything was also slowly fading, until I woke up. I opened my eyes kind of disappointed, and went back to sleep.

This is when things got interesting. I woke up in a mixture of my dads house, and a fancy Chinese restaurant. Me, a few girls and a few guys where there.
Where were chatting and just goofing around. Everyone moved into a room in the basement, where they started looking at funny videos. I now did my reality check,
and I noticed I could breath right through my nose, even though it was clogged. I then counted my fingers, which was one of the most awesome
Experiences I've ever experienced. There were not only 12 fingers, but they were also deformed, and in weird colors. When I looked at them, everything in the background
Seemed to change colors, just like if somebody was trying all the filters on their new webcam. I then quickly span around,
trying to stabilize my dream. It was really hard again, but I somehow managed to do it. When I was done, everything was extremely clear.
This part is kind of embarrassing. I'll leave the names out. Anyway. I was still dreaming, and at this point the dream was pretty stabile,
so I tried if I could "summon" people. Sadly it didn't really work. I didn't try all that hard either though, so that might have been the problem.
But after failing to summon someone, I tried making someone sleep, and that did work. This girl suddenly fell down (I cought her midfall, pretty romantic eyh?..),
I then kissed her. Now this is the embarrassing part. She woke up, and was really surprised. She got up and screamed at me.
Now, at this point I was shitting my pants.. I though that she would remember it after we woke up, because she wasn't sleeping. It doesn't make any sense at all, but
In the dream it did. So at this point I thought, fuck it, I'll try again. I then made her sleep again, and woke her up with a little kiss.
This time she wasn't screaming, or running, or punching me in the nose, but she slowly opened her eyes, while kissing back. At the time I didn't really think much of it,
but now that I write it down, it does remind me a lot of the snow-white kiss-to-wakeup kind of thing. Anyway, we kissed for a bit, and ended up going outside.

I woke up, kind of annoyed, because I wanted to sleep on.
But, I finally fell asleep again. This time, it wasn't a mix between my dads house and the Chinese place as it was in the 2nd dream, but it was completely
In the Chinese place. I quickly did my reality checks, and failed all of them. I then spun around in a circle, while rubbing my hands together, to create stability.
Eveything worked out pretty good. Now, this dream was pretty lame actually. I seriously don't know why I didn't try to fly, or to have sex with selena gomez (yup, you can't deny it.).
This dream is hard to explain, but I'll try my best.
I was with my sister, going down some random roads. In the dream, the "Google streetview" cars was going to come in a few minutes.
There were thousands and thousands of justin beiber pictures everywhere, which is the weird part. I somehow dreamt that all the little justin beiber fans had made a plan,
to mass advertise him on every street, every time someone wanted to use Google maps. So I was walking around with my sister and taking theses down, because, who wouldn't?
Now this is the awesome part, I dreamt that there were a $100 strapped to every one of theses pictures. By the end of the dream, I was a fucking millionaire.
I then woke up, and realize how fucking stupid I was, to not try to fly, or do something awesome, but to go around town taking down justin beiber posters..

The weird thing is that I'm not even a fan of justin beiber, and I haven't heard any of his songs in a looong time.
On the other side, I'm just glad it wasn't Nickelback.

Ps. Sorry for all of the spelling errors, or lack of commas. I'm still learning :)!

Lucid dreaming? Challenge accepted

Hello everyone!

Recently, I've been having weird dreams. Not just weird, but also extremely real dreams. So real that I almost feel like I've been watching a movie when I wake up. Sometimes it's a good thing, and sometimes it's bad. I've had some really cool dreams, where I've been experiencing things I would never get to experience in the real world. Things like living in a village, 2000years ago, together with skyscraper tall creatures, riding on unicorns on fire. But sadly, also things like running from a murdere, inside a house with nothing but long dark hallways, and metal staircases.


I also recently heard about "Lucid dreaming". Lucid dreaming, is when you realize you are dreaming, while dreaming, wich means you can get control of what you are doing, inside the dream. And from what I've heard, it should be a pretty cool experience. You can do things like flying, teleportation, and even go through walls.


So I though, when I have theese dream, why not put them to good use? So I opened up Reddit, and began researching. I've now got a plan, for how I'm going to achive theese "Lucid dreams". Here it is:
RC - Reality checks
WBTB - Wake back to bed
MILD - mnemonically induced lucid dream


Reality tests is: A test to establish whether you are in a dream or waking life, actively done during the day in hopes that the habit will continue within dreams.
What I'm personally doing, is counting my fingers. If there is 10 fingers, well good, I'm not dreaming. If there is 11 fingers, I'm probably dreaming. I'm trying to do this every time i remember, wich is about 30 times a day.


Wake back to bed is: When you set your alarm clock to wake you up halfway or 2/3 through your REM sleep, go occupy your brain for 30-50 minutes, and then go back to bed, and carry out MILD.


Mild is: As you fall asleep, recall one of your most recent dreams. Play the dream over in your mind, and imagine yourself becoming lucid in some way. Focus on the feeling you get from becoming lucid in that dream. As you are imagining this, tell yourself, "Tonight, I will have a lucid dream." Use your imagined lucidity to reinforce the idea that you'll become lucid tonight. Repeat the phrase to yourself until you fall asleep.


I'm currently on my 3rd day of doing reality checks, and 2nd night of doing WBTB. I'll keep you guys updated on how things work out, and maby do a dream jurnal on here. Anyway, I'll go to sleep now, wish me luck!

Fingerboarding, is it "gay"?

What is a "fingerboard"?

A fingerboard is a working replica of a skateboard that a person "rides" by replicating skateboarding maneuvers with their hand. It can also be referred to as a finger skate board or even a Tech Deck. The device itself is a scaled-down skateboard complete with moving wheels, graphics and trucks.

Why would that be "gay"?

Well, it's comments like this:

 this:

 and this:

that makes me think the general opinion on fingerboarding is considered "gay".

Can i see it in action?

Ofcourse you can! Here is a fingerboarding video in action.

That does look kind of "gay"..

While I do agree that fingerboarding is kind of a childish thing, I do have to say that it can actually be quite fun.

For me personally it's just something to do at my desk, when I'm waiting for something, or I can't go out and skate. Oh, are you loading a game of LoL? Do a few tricks on the tech deck! Oh, waiting for someone to message back on facebook? Do a few tricks on the tech deck!

Hm, I see. Maby not that gay after all. 

I know right?

Ever find yourself drumming your fingers on the table for a few seconds while something loads, or when waiting for your crush to answear you back on facebook? Well it's pretty much what I do, except I do a few tricks on the tech deck instead of drumming. 

I guess that does sound kind of neat. Where could I get one of theese "Tech decks"?

Here is a few links:

http://www.techdeck.com/app/website

http://www.atamaii.com/tech-deck.html

http://www.amazon.co.uk/tech-deck-Toys-Games/s?ie=UTF8&rh=n%3A468292%2Ck%3ATech%20Deck&page=1

Please keep in mind that I have not bought anything from theese sites, except Amazon, but they do look pretty safe though.

I would ofcourse much rather go out and skate for real, but when I can't do that, I don't see what would be wrong with using a tech deck. Don't be so quick to judge other people's hobbies, go find something that you like to do instead.

peace <3

Theese things, seriously.

Guys, Guys.. Can we just agree on one thing? Q-Tips are fucking awesome.

I mean, if I had a gun pointed at my head, and the guy pointing the gun said "Orgasms, or q-tips?"

I'd have a really hard time deciding wich is better. I mean, q-tipping your ear is pretty much the same thing as an orgasm, just for your ears!

Good guy Q-tip <3


Also, the Come Join Clinexx Land blog has moved to a new domain, and is now (as you can probably see)

www.rauwz.com

So that is pretty neat. I'm hoping to get in contact with a web designer soon, so look forward to
