The Heat Is Killing Me
This morning I had a long dream and I was able to recall most of it. Hopefully this will continue!
Anyway, when I woke up after 4 hours of sleep, I fell asleep almost instantly. Then, I woke up a few hours later without any alarms and... The fucking birds again!
They were making incredibly loud noises and there were like 20 of them.
Luckily, I was tired enough to drift off to sleep after 15 minutes or so. I tried to calm myself down, because if I let myself get mad I would've probably fell asleep only after an hour or more. Or, I would've not slept at all...
The heat is at an extreme level here... It's usually around 28 Celsius in my room, so it's incredibly hard to do anything. Even sleeping is quite hard, because I wake up many times in the early morning.
It's funny... I always wait for summer so much... But once the heat kicks in, I wish summer would pass as quick as possible.
Well, if it wasn't so hot, I wouldn't care, LOL.
A Forced Kiss
My dream begins when I was at a party. I just realized that I have a lot of dreams that involve some sort of parties. Do I crave a good party? Who knows!
We were in a house that was in the middle of nowhere. There seemed to be trees around us, so I guess we were in a forest.
I went outside the house and a dog was following me. It was dark and I could barely see anything further from the house.
Me and the dog were exploring the visible area. At one point I heard people talk something about weed. I didn't investigate who they were, though...
There was one interesting thing here... As I was exploring this area, I was certain that all of this already happened. I was absolutely sure that I'm a time traveler and I came here from the future.
Then, I came back inside the house where the party was at. I remember waiting for a specific girl to arrive here. She wasn't my girlfriend. Rather, my target to flirt with, LOL.
But, there was another girl in the party... To whom I was the target to flirt with... Sadly, I didn't really like the girl.
She always stayed close to me and tried to talk with me. I tried to ignore her, but she would always get her way.
Up to a point where I got close to the door and she started pushing me outside. I didn't want to leave, so I tried to distract her.
There were a lot of popcorn on the ground so I tried to distract her by making her look at them, because it was weird.
But, it didn't bother her at all. She managed to push me outside, and we got behind a tree. She started kissing me!
Then, we got down on the ground and kept on kissing. I didn't try to resist anymore. I just let go, I guess...
Then my mom came out of nowhere and interrupted us. She told us not to lay on the ground, as it is sprayed by something that is not healthy to us.
We decided to head back inside to the house. As we were getting close to the door, I woke up.
Some Dream Interpretations
In my dream, a dog was following me. What could that possibly mean? here's what I've found:
A dog in a dream is the symbol of protection, this dream is a simple warning. You should try to protect something in life. If the dog is friendly, then this suggests that someone or that someone is actually protecting you. (Source)
There seem to be a lot of dog interpretations, so I chose the main one, LOL.
I wasn't able to find anything specifically to being followed by a dog, so that sucks... I guess a dog in a dream is a symbol of protection.
Apparently something is protecting me! Thank you very much! Your protection is highly appreciated.
Next, I got kissed by a girl in my dream. What could that possibly mean? Here's what I've found:
If you are kissing a stranger then this stranger can symbolize your determination and willingness in life. The stranger itself can also suggest that you are looking for a change.
Well, I'm not sure if I'm really looking for a change right now. I wasn't able to find an interpretation of being forced to kiss, though...
I guess I have to look at the emotions that I felt when it happened. While initially I didn't want to do anything with this girl, when she forced the kiss, I didn't mind it anymore.
I enjoyed the kiss, thus this is probably a positive dream. Plus, I was really happy when I woke up. The whole dream was full of great emotions to me.
Hopefully my dream recall will be better and better, cuz I really enjoy such long and detailed dreams like this one.
I'm ending this post here. At the end of each post I'll include my first post (down below) about this journey as it explains why and how I'm doing this! (Full Post Here)
I Will Be Doing This Every Day!
The main reason I want to start lucid dreaming, is for self improvement.
I've been reading a lot about it and studies have shown that you can actually improve certain abilities by doing it in your dreams.
For example, if you wan't to learn a foreign language, you can practice it in your dreams. Since you're working with your subconscious mind while you're sleeping, you might find out that you know words that you were never aware of while conscious.
It's really all up to your creativity to what you wanna learn and improve upon in your dreams. Is it basketball that you want to become better at? You can do that!
Do you want to become a better fucker? Nobody is holding you back! Just make a nasty slut appear in front of you and do whatever you want with her!
Apparently while sleeping, the neural pathways engaged in the activity are strengthened, and not only imagined or visualized.
To achieve lucid dreaming, a lot of action has to be taken. Well... Some find it really easy to lucid dream, but most have to achieve it the hard way.
It's really important to think about lucid dreaming throughout the day. This way you're telling your subconscious mind that this is what you're focusing on and what you want, thus it gives you the access to control the dream world.
There are quite a few things I will be doing in order to achieve this goal!
So, first of all, I will be posting my whole lucid dreaming journey here on Steemit every day.
I will be writing down all of my dreams on a journal. A dream journal is basically essential if you want to achieve lucid dreaming.
I will do at least 30-50 reality checks every day.
Have a sleeping rhythm. That means I will be going to sleep at the same time every night. I'll also wake up at the same time every morning as well.
I will also experiment with some techniques to induce lucid dreams.
I won't look at any screens (computer, TV or even phone) 30-60 minutes before bed, because I've read that this helps a lot. For those 30-60 minutes I will be meditating.
Talk, read and think about lucid dreaming constantly.
Occasionally I will listen to lucid dreaming binaural beats and hypnosis.
I will use an app called Awoken. This app is designed to help you achieve lucid dreaming. It reminds you to do reality checks throughout the day and it has a dream journal, which is where I will be writing down all my dreams when I wake up.
I will experiment with the supplement called Dream Leaf, I already ordered it and I will use it when it arrives. I will take it only once or at most twice every week to see if it changes anything about my dreams and the ability to become lucid.

Tracking All My Progress!
So, like I've mentioned before, I will be tracking all my progress and I'll be posting about it every day here on Steemit.
Also, after I achieve lucid dreaming, I won't stop posting about my experiences for some time still.
When I achieve my goal, I will be writing down a lot of experiences that I have inside the dream world, and I'll experiment if it's actually possible to improve real life skills while sleeping.
I set a personal goal to achieve lucid dreaming within 30 days starting today. I'm really excited and hopefully I'll be able to do that even faster than 30 days!
This is not the first time I try to achieve lucid dreaming, but I never took it seriously and I was too inconsistent, so I never even came close to becoming lucid.
But this time I'm gonna SMASH it and record the whole journey on this blockchain!
UPDATE: I achieved lucid dreaming for the first time on day 12
I will become lucid tonight!
