Lucid Dreaming | WILD Attempt - Something NEW happened. Advice pleeeeeze
I have had 10 successful WILD attempts since April and they all follow the same pattern below ...
I wbtb after 6 hours, i perform a mantra / meditation then i start to lose consciousness for brief seconds or minutes at a time before returning to my meditation / mantra. Along the dive i have short dreamlets appear, this all goes on for some time until i feel some really strong intense vibrations in my head. these last for 3 short 'waves' and then everything goes silent. I now know at this point that i can simply get out of bed and be in a false awakening, so i stand, nose plug and then fly off to dragon mountain for battle :-) ... and thats basically how all my WILDS work.
So last night something different happened. I went through all the same steps but for my anchor i tried the classic 100 countdown with a mantra timed to the breath. At about 70 i started to drift in and out of awareness with dreamlets here and there so I knew i was on the right track, i also remembering counting past 40 and then the next thing I will try to explain the best I can but as you know, relaying experiences ion words is quite tricky.
Im laying there and then all of a sudden i feel a very quick and subtle shift happen within me and within 1 second everything went quiet. Before i had ringing in my ears which i get often at night and i could hear my breathig but within 1 second it all kind went ssshhhhuummppppp!!!! .... silence!
I was full y aware and noticed i could still hear the clock ticking in the room but was unsure of where my state of consciousness was. As I lay there i pondered that i could be in a false awakening so i tried to levitate and twist my dream body but nothing happened. I lay there without doing any mantras or anything because i felt quite awake but I thought that was also odd because after only 6 hours sleep and all that anchoring i should have been asleep or very tired. so I just lay there, no HI or anything, i just did nothing, it was frustrating because i pondered that i could at that moment be in a FA but i just felt so awake. After a while i just thought to myself that I should check the clock so i opened my eyes and it had been 50 mins since the wbtb so i turned to my side and quickly fell asleep
So now that mystery...
After the countdown and the ssshhhuummpp to silence, was i awake or consciously asleep? If i was awake then why did I not feel sleepy seeing as minutes before i was free flowing in and out of consciousness. If I was actaully asleep and in a false awakening then what should i have done to transform it into a lucid dream (i did try visualizing a scene for a few seconds but nothing really happened.
Any help would be very welcome so that NEXT time this happens i will have some more knowledge of what to do
Many thanks guys (and girls)

From the Desk of John Rourke – October 2nd, 2015
A Dry Run. I am looking at getting several of my fellow group members together for a “bug out excursion”. The idea would be to head to a predetermined location and set up camp. We would treat the event as if it was the real deal and for whatever reason we had to evacuate our normal living quarters. Part of this dry run would be to delegate responsibilities such as water gathering/filtration, perimeter security/guard watch, communication/intelligence gathering, food prep, sanitation, and maintenance.
I suspect that a lot would be learned from doing this and would help immensely if the time came and it was for real.

The mass shooting yesterday is tragic. Praying for the victims and their families.

Hurricane season this year is already much more active than the past few years. Hurricane Joaquin is heading for the east coast but where it will strike is still up for grabs. It is going to be a wet weekend out my way.

Just received a custom made Kydex holster for my Canik TP9SA. Fits great. One negative about the Canik is it lack of aftermarket support. No worries as I found a great custom holster manufacturer on eBay. HERE is a link to their eBay store.

Don’t own a gun? No better time than now!
Seems like there are more and more terrible events happening where some mentally-unstable person takes the lives of innocent citizens via a mass shooting. When it happens it makes national news and the anti-gun movement gets a huge boost of both money, and public support. I do see gun control measures increasing substantially within the next several years. A few more headlines of people getting killed by “evil guns” and gun control measures will be all the talk in Congress. Even those in support of the 2nd Amendment may make concessions in an effort to stay in office when the next round of elections come around.
Why own firearms? Pretty simple- protection. Take a look at the evidence: In New Orleans and surrounding areas after Hurricane Katrina massive looting and crime spread like wildfire as low-life’s took advantage of the lack of law enforcement and prayed on innocent victims. In a disaster – whether it be an economic collapse or wide spread power outage – you must be able to defend yourself, your family, and your property.
The point of this post is not to provide instruction and ideas on what guns to have but rather to serve as a reminder that guns are an integral part of anyone’s survival and preparedness system. Everyone has unique situations which may dictate one firearm selection over another. Regardless – find what works for you, buy it, get training, and stock up.
If you never need it……great! You have it.
If you end up needing it and don’t have it……well……..
