Lucid Dreaming

August 15th, 2006 by theninja

Introduction
Lucid Dreaming is knowing that you are dreaming while you are doing it. When you know that you are dreaming, you can also alter the dream course. And with practice you can also develop full control over your dream, you will be able to create and change the environment and change your own appearance. It will be you that are in control of the dream scenario. You can do whatever you want to do. Live out your wildest fantasy, or just sit down and chit chat with someone. You should also be open for the possibility to share dreams and travel in time and space when you develop adequate control over your dreams. The word Lucid means that you have a clear and full consciousness. And believe me when I say that Lucid Dreaming can be much more fun than waking reality.

Reality Testing
Reality testing is a common method that people use to determine whether or not they are dreaming. It involves performing an action with results that are difficult to re-create in a dream. By practicing these techniques during waking life, one will eventually dream of performing a reality check—which will usually fail—helping the dreamer realize that they are dreaming. Common reality tests include:

1)Read some text, look away, and read it again, or to look at your watch and remember the time, then look away and look back. Observers have found that, in a dream, the text or time will often have changed.

2)Flipping a light switch or looking into a mirror. Light switches rarely work properly in dreams, and reflections from a mirror often appear to be blurred, distorted or incorrect.

3)Covering your nose and seeing if you can still breathe through it.

4)Pressing the index finger firmly into an area of the body such as the chest or leg. Since matter is usually plastic in the dream state and does not resist change, the finger will usually penetrate the dream body with little resistance and no pain.

5)Observe your hand in a dream, often the hand has incorrect number of fingers.
Pinching oneself — in a dream no pain may be felt, though in many situations, lucid dreamers have observed that they do experience realistic sensation of being pinched

Staying in your Dream
As mentioned, at first you’ll likely find it difficult to remain in your dream upon becoming lucid. If the world around you suddenly starts to fade, or you inexplicably sense that your dream is ending, or you even feel that your dream consciousness is thinning, there is a technique you can try to salvage your dream: dream spinning. Dream spinning is extremely simple and consists of you spinning on the spot like you would have as a child. That may sound very silly, but the technique is extremely reliable. When you stop spinning you’ll likely find that the dream clarity has returned, and perhaps your surroundings will have changed as well. In fact, if you focus on changing the setting into something else while spinning, it is very likely you will find yourself in your desired environment after you stop spinning. Note that since it is likely your dream will completely change upon completion of dream spinning, you may lose lucidity. Thus, it may be wise to also remind yourself that you are dreaming while spinning. Also, verbal commands can be beneficial when trying to prevent your dream from ending. Of course dream spinning and verbal commands are tools for controlling your dreams, which we’ll get into next.


Control
After having several lucid dreams and attaining the ability to remain in them for a while, you’re ready to move on to exerting control within your dreams. Becoming successful at controlling your dreams will take a lot of practice and experience on your part. This section will be rather simple because little additional knowledge is required in controlling dreams; instead, the essential requisites are patience, practice, attitude, and effort.
In the beginning you may be able to exert some control in your dreams, such as changing the scene or situation, or controlling your own actions, but it will likely take you awhile to gain complete control of your dreams. This is due to the fact that it can be difficult to determine how much force to put into trying to change something. Sometimes the changes will occur easily; other times you may get frustrated if what you want to happen doesn’t. It is essential that you don’t allow yourself to become too aggressive or frustrated with your attempts at dream control because if you do you’ll likely wake yourself up.
In order to be successful at changing your dreams you have to believe it is possible. If you’re trying to do something in your dream that you don’t really believe is possible, then chances are you will be unsuccessful. You must convince yourself that you are in control and anything you want is possible. Since too much force will simply cause you to awaken, begin by calmly trying to change aspects of your dream—just think about what you want to change, and try to picture it happening. For instance, you could imagine a bolt of electricity flying out of your hand, or even something much simpler like a giant sundae materializing before you. Keep in mind that you should build up to trying more adventurous things, such as the ever-popular flying. If your attempts don’t work, try changing something else. If still your efforts at dream control are futile, try instead to simply go along with the dream and practice controlling your own actions instead.
As stated on the maintaining lucidity page, dream spinning and verbal commands can aid in dream control. Again, dream spinning will allow you to change your dream setting. If your dream begins to wildly careen out of your control, try spinning and picturing your desired dream as you do so. Verbal commands are generally the best way to exert control in your dreams. If you want something to happen, say it out loud: if you want to be 12 feet tall, just say it. Repeat your desire over and over, and picture it in your head.
Sometimes—and you’ll figure this out as you go along—you have to become a little creative when trying to exert your will in your dream. For instance, are you trying to find someone in your dream but not having any luck? Try picking up the phone and calling him or her…he or she may just appear right in front of you. Actually wishing for someone or something to magically appear right in front of you can be difficult. Instead, either try closing your eyes and envisioning him or her appearing, or tell yourself that he or she will appear as soon as you go around a corner.
Remember that you are in complete control once you become lucid, but again it will take a while to be able to wield this power properly. Don’t allow yourself to become overcome with emotion if you find yourself in a distressing situation: always remember that dream spinning can quickly bail you out of anything. Also, remind yourself constantly that you are in control—if you are able to maintain this attitude, you will likely be able to free yourself from precarious situations and change your dreams completely.

What a mad week!

July 28th, 2006 by theninja

This week is one of the most exciting and mad weeks i had in my life. On monday, the meowmoo team had a shoot with channel U host Desmond Koh. The shoot was at bugis icon in one of our consignment stores. The shoot was about 4 hours long but it was really fun, it was then when i realised that my mandarin sucks big time. These mediacorp artises are well versed in their mandarin and idioms vocabulary. Anyway, the show is titled as " Stepping out" and will be featured in channel U this august! Monday is great too as our ninjado article is finally out! It’s in "IN" a special edition of straits times only available for secondary school students. The article has a photograph of myself and some of my ninja mates.

-

On tuesday, me Fred and Weixiang got to cuppage plaza for a networking dinner for both aspiring entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs. The food was good and we got to know some contacts.

-

Wednesday was great! Representing the meowmoo team was me and Freddy. We went to the istana to have a mass dinner with the president and various international delegates. At first we were kinda lost and most businessmen and ladies thought that me and Fred were entertainers for the night! What a joke when they found out they we were actually delegates representing Singapore. We had fun and the food there was awesome. We later on discovered that alot of CHC members were there too. People like Elim chew,Casey,Annabel Soh,Ruth,Trio,Paster Tan…. etc We had fun interacting and getting to know them in person. It’s really great as these are the dudes you see every week on stage during service, but they are talking to you now! As me and Fred went around, we exchanged namecards with people and we got to know alot of good overseas contacts. Who knows? We might just venture out to China or Russia in the near future. Well, the sky is the limit.

-

I didn’t slept as i was rushing a meowmoo promotional video for our exhitbition in Suntec city. School was mad! 12am to 6pm! Felt like sleeping during class. But i made a point to go cell group to worship the Lord. Me and Xingjie gave a testimony to the cg and it was good. Lijun bought sakae sushi and someone bought 2 HUGE chicken pies! Mad feasting ensued with me and Bolo, no doubt about it. Anyway the meowmoo promo video is now upload and online in youtube. Just type in "meowmoo" and you’ll find it!

-

Friday is finally here! Freddy told me the Elim Chew wanted us to be the ninja and samurai in the exhibit! It’s really nuts and when i saw her again, the told me that herself! Changed in our costumes and gear, we were there to kick some ass. Once again, we interacted and got to know some really big entrepreneurs. The exhibit was over at 2pm when the international delegates left for their individual factories visits. The meowmoo team then cleared our booth and headed for school to return our borrowed stuff.

Alright, i lefted out alot of stuff here but i tried to write as much as i could remember. Well tml is the grading! Good luck to everyone!

Wad a day!

Words from Wand

July 5th, 2006 by theninja
I am very religious, and when I’m in the ring, I firmly believe that God is 100% with me. I train hard and I believe in God. It doesn’t matter who the opponent is or how large or strong he is. God is always with me. God gives me the power to train and to compete.

Demo practice in the promised land

June 29th, 2006 by theninja

Yesterday’s demo practice with Bolo and nick was damn fun! We finally discovered a new training ground for future TEAM MAXI trainings. It’s like we finally found the promised land! This place has good scenery, good facilities, good air, not forgeting lots of hotness and milf jogging about! I bet Yi ann regretted not joining us! woooooooooooooooo! Ok! this place is big and the floor is padded that means we can do sparring with ground fighting and wrestling.

During our katana training. One dumbass kid with no respect suddenly took hold of nick’s bokken and played with it. Nick told him to put it down but he threw it with force on the floor instead. And walked away insulting us to his friends. Saying he wasnt afraid and stuff like dat. Seeing this shit, i screamed at the boy. Bolo snapped and went on and pursue and twisted the fatso’s face. In spite of it all, the fatso continued to make blasphemous comments. This time Bolo strangled the boy! Just like kane in wwe! With just one hand! The maid was so shocked that he begged Bolo to release him. The whole face of the kid was swollen and red! Me and nick were laughing like crazy at the sight of the kid’s demise.

Demos

June 28th, 2006 by theninja

Ahhh finally after months of rest, me and the rest of the ninjas need to perfrom again. This time it will be somewhere in the west…not really sure of the exact location. So here are the items

Max- Shinobikatana kata

Yiann- Kama kata

Eugene sensei- Sai kata

Bolo and nick- Sparring

Max, Bolo and nick- Katana battle

Julia and Shiling- Stick kata

Bad thing is that theres something wrong about either my pc or my cam. So the bad news is that i cant upload the kama kata for you guys who are practising it. Really sorry.

This is the new week of school and everything is going fine but it’s still boring. Hope that everything turns out fine and we’ll submit this project as a group.

Business times

June 25th, 2006 by theninja

Kinda happy today as Me, Fred and Xing jie appear on the papers again. This time we were featured in business times and our article is both on the front page and page 16.

Hope we will be featured by the press more often ne~ Cya guys!

A Fighter’s Poem

June 18th, 2006 by theninja

This is the moment to face my opponent.

Eye to eye, I’ll make him question why…

he try to step into the ring, knowing he cant win.

I’m gonna run and bring him down like he’s aint no thing.

I’m gonna bring the pain, heck the rules and things…

I’ll be coming down showering him like rain…

Heavyweight punches and knees that penetrate….

No doubt to hesistate.

Yes. There will be no escape.

Yes, it may sound like a case in a kung fu flick…

But this is REAL and I’m gonna knock you out real quick!

On the floor… just like a soldier at war…

Ready to die and fighting hardcore…

To the road… step into my zone…

Being victorious is my only role.

Like a gladiator…

One on one, the fight has just begun…

Brawl now or we will be second to none!

I’m just too hot to handle!

You’re doing down!

I’m too hot to handle!

Dont make a sound!

I’m too hot to handle!

Ready or not, you are going down 1st round!

FUCK you now!
