523-OB: Road with pine trees

8.19 am

Earlier, I did the Buddho Breath Mindfulness Meditation to fall asleep. Then later, I switched to dream yoga, reminding myself that this is all a dream.

I then went into and out of several dreams successively, reminding myself that I would wake up slowly from a dream and try to do the exit technique.

In one of the dreams that I came out of, I tried to feel my fingers using the exit technique. And I… I managed to feel the familiar rubbery sensation. I rubbed the right-hand finger and let it develop further. Then I rubbed the left fingers and also managed to feel the rubbery sensations.

Then I… as the sensation increased, I rubbed both palms together and felt the rubbery sensation as well. Then I rubbed my forearms of both hands and then rubbed the mattress I’m lying on.

I swung my left leg over the bed and stood up. I put my feet on the ground, on the floor of my bedroom. Then I stood beside my bed, in my bedroom.

I then touched the objects around me and also continued to rub my hands together as I walked forward. Then I did peering. While walking forwards, I did peering. I peered at the palms of both hands, alternately left and right, and rubbed, then peered, and rubbed, and peered alternately.

As I did that, the colour of my skin, of my palms, materialised. I could see it. Then around me, the world changed. The world appeared with colour and light as well.

I found myself outdoors beside a road, surrounded by pine trees. It was like there was not much light, probably in a cold country.

Then on the left, there was… I continued to touch the ground and peered as well at my palms, rubbing, not keeping still, not staring at one object for too long.

Then on the left, there was some kind of shop and some people there. I approached it and asked a man wearing a black jacket, “What day is it?”

He talked, he mentioned something, but I did not understand. I then continued walking and continued rubbing my fingers, rubbing my palms together, and continued walking.

I thought, “Let’s do loving-kindness.” And then I immediately, spontaneously — Om Mani Padme Hum — came out of my mouth.

So I did the mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, repeatedly, many times, and looked around. Then from my chest, my heart, I radiated loving-kindness to the entire world, to the surroundings, and also to the entire world.

I turned around and around doing this. I also imagined Avalokiteshvara and continued loving-kindness with Om Mani Padme Hum. I did this for some time.

Then I floated upwards and then downwards again, and walked on the road. As I walked, on the right-hand side of the road, I talked to myself a lot.

I love being in a lucid state, in a lucid dream like this, because I know that I’m dreaming — or something similar like that — as I walk forward. I could hear my voice clearly as I mentioned these words.

Then from a distance, there was a car coming towards me. I floated up above the car and wanted to touch the windscreen at the front of the car.

And then the dream faded.

 

522-OB: Buddho breath in bedroom

 

7.57 am

I did the breath “Buddho” meditation all night long to fall asleep. Somewhere in the middle of the night, while I was counting the breath with “Buddho,” I felt the vibration and the phase state spontaneously arising as I counted and breathed. I just let it develop.

As I continued counting the breath and repeating “Buddho,” the vibration eventually faded. Then, toward morning, I was still doing the same meditation and fell into a very deep, easy, fuzzy feeling.

I spontaneously felt my fingers rubbing and experienced the familiar rubbery sensations. So I continued rubbing my fingers and also touched the mattress, then intended to put my feet on the bedroom floor.

I stood up and managed to remain standing. I tried to touch the curtain and continued to feel the rubbery sensations. Then I tried to walk toward the bookshelf in my bedroom. And the dream faded.

521-LD:Wrong outdoor of house

 

6.52 am

During the day, I practice dream yoga, recognizing waking reality as the dream state.

I had a dream where I recognized the dream state.

My wife and I were conducting some business in a terrace house. After we concluded the business, we walked out the door. Instead of finding the usual expected scenery, we found something different. I think we expected to see our car or something like that. But instead, we walked out and saw a completely different scene.

Immediately, I recognized that we were in a dream and became lucid. WP panicked and walked across the road. It was already night.

I said, “Don’t run there. Come back here. I will tell you how to get out of this dream.”

I held her close to me and knew that everything would be fine. I kept still. I knew that we would somehow return to the other side of the outdoor area where it was supposed to be.

After a while, the dream faded, and I woke up.

So I actually recognized the dream state and managed to wake up.

520-OB-Touch walls walking to bedroom door

 

10.10 am

Lying on my left side, I was going in and out, in and out, of several dreams. Earlier, I had formed the intention that whenever I came out of a dream, I would come out slowly and not move — to keep still and exit the dream consciously.

This time, after coming out of a dream, I kept still and did not move. I tried to exit gently. I felt the phase state was there, and I managed to imagine rubbing my fingers. I then rubbed my fingers and heard a familiar rubbery sound.

I put my palms together and rubbed them, feeling the same rubbery sensation. I rubbed my forearms on both sides, then rubbed my face and my body. After that, I rubbed the mattress on my right and on my left. Then I confidently swung my feet over and placed them on the floor of my bedroom.

I stood up easily. I rubbed the left window, felt the curtains, and rubbed my bed on the right. I walked toward the bookshelf, then rubbed the floor of my bedroom and felt it clearly.

The objects were still a bit blurred, and I intended for them to become clearer. I probably should have done more peering. Instead, as I touched each object, I told myself what I was doing — touching the window, touching the bed, touching the floor.

I turned right and walked toward the bedroom door, continuing to rub objects along the way — the floor and the left wall. When I reached the bathroom, I touched the right side and then the left wall. Just as I was about to reach the door, I think I slipped into a kind of sleepy, dreamy state.

My mind became too drowsy, and I fell into sleep. There was a loss of lucidity, and the experience faded away.

519-LD: Taking selfie with wife in legal firm

 

10:05 am

I practised oneness to fall asleep.

I was working in a legal firm and Wai Peng also. I was sitting at a corner table.

It was a huge office, and on the right of my table was an artificial grass patch.

I read the newspaper, Times, to understand some legal terminology.

And I put the paper on the grass, and then it was time to go for lunch.

And the back door opened, and there was a beautiful, long corridor of outdoors.

It was very surreal, and I was with Wai Peng.

So then I held the camera up to take a photo, a selfie.

But then the...

The aspect ratio of the screen was wrong, and I reset it.

But I couldn't quite get it right.

And then, suddenly, I realized this could be a dream.

I told Wai Peng, did you know that this is a dream?

And why? Because all the...

The dream world was like fuzzy and hazy.

So realistic.

And then I tried to adjust it and go somewhere to take a photo.

And she was walking away.

And the dream faded.

518-LD: With bicycle in N-Park lift with no buttons

 

8:56 am

I was practicing oneness, and I dreamed that I entered a lift with a bicycle, pushing the bicycle.

It's an N-park lift, and in the middle of the lift, I wanted to press the button, but there was no buttons to go up or down.

And then I felt a sense of rising panic, and then suddenly, I realized that this could be a dream. It was so real like I was actually there. And become lucid.

And I was so relieved, like that, I rubbed my hands, and then the dream faded.

517-OB: Office interview after exiting Regal hotel

 

9.50am

I was lying down in my hotel room, bed Regal Hotel, and I in and out of several dreams.

And finally, as I came out of one of the dreams, I remembered to do the exit technique.

By rubbing my fingers, and I continue to rub my palms together, rub my forearms, rub my body, and all the way down to my legs.

And then I rubbed the mattress, and then intended to swing my leg over and step on the floor.

And I did manage to stand up, and I tapped the floor, the marble floor, and then I felt the floor clearly.

And it was clear, I could see everything in the room, in the hotel room clearly.

And I also breathe in the smell, and also hear to increase lucidity, using all the senses.

I then walked to the door of the hotel room, and opened the door, and walked out.

And the moment I walked out, it was a different scenery.

There was a long corridor in white colour, it was very clear.

And in white colour, I walked to the end of it, and entered another room.

And inside I saw an office with tables and chairs, but there was nobody.

I was looking for people to interact with, then I walked into the next room again.

There was again nobody, and then I walked into the third room.

At this time, there were people, there were staff working, office workers, many of them, men and women.

And I appeared to be the boss, and I introduced myself.

I am Dr. Chin, and I can hear myself clearly.

And I then asked one of them, a lady, could I talk to you in private in my office.

Then she followed me, but I didn't know where my office was, so I just walked around, and found an empty room.

But there was a guy inside, and I said, please leave, I need to have an interview in private.

And then he left, and then she sat down on a chair, and I sat on beside her, and I ask do you want to

have interview with me. She looked away and said yes. I asked again, you want to have interview with me.

So I spoke to her and said I need to have resume.

And the dream faded.

516-OB: Talking to Chinese lady buying hawker food

 

9.40 am

I was dreaming of riding my motorcycle on Penang Road and then I became lucid and knew this is a dream. And then I woke up in bed in my hotel room, Regal Hotel.  I did the exit technique by rubbing my fingers together and then rubbing my hands and I also rubbed the bed frame.

And then I had the intention to stand up on the floor beside my bed. So I swung my legs over and stood up and then I felt my feet being planted firmly on the cold marble floor.I rubbed my palms on the ground to increase the lucidity. I could see the objects in the room clearly.

I then stood up and touched the objects and also the wall. And then I went to the window of my hotel room. I pulled open the blinds and I could see outside there were people standing outside. I opened the window and I climbed out of the room through the window to get out of the room. And in front there was an uncle and I tapped his back and I asked him: Are you OK? And he said OK.

And there was an Chinese girl wearing yellow t-shirt - waiting buying food from a hawker. And I spoke to her. She said she already had children. As I spoke to her - the dream faded.

515-OB: Fuzzy dark Regal hotel room

 

8.39am

Lying on my right, I dreamt that I was in the corner of a room, and somebody lifted up my leg and put it up in the corner of the room, on the ceiling.

And my face was facing down, I then suddenly realized that this is so strange, it must be a dream.

And I became lucid, and I then rubbed my fingers together and rubbed my hands, and then tried to do the exit technique from the bed in my Hong Kong room.

I managed to feel my fingers rubbing, and also rubbed my hands together, and I felt the familiar rubbery sensation.

I rubbed my foreheads and my face, and then also rubbed the mattress, and I wanted to stand up on the floor beside my bed.

So I used my mind to think of the floor, but my dream body did not respond to rolling over, nor sitting up and standing up.

So I imagined I just stood up already, and the room was dark, not clear, and I tried to peer with my right hand to bring in light color as well.

Eventually the dream ended.

514-OB: Two OBEs back to back in Regal Hotel

 

9.54 am

I am still in Hong Kong Hotel, lying on my right. I got up from several dreams. All the way, I remembered to do the checking for the phase state. Then I found myself in the phase state and I rubbed my fingers, rubbed my hands, and rubbed the bed. And then I took my time, rubbed my forearms as well. And then I took my time to slowly sink my feet on the floor over the edge of the bed.

And then I stood up, and then I walked around the room like this. And I was so happy. This is the second lucid dream tonight. And I was rubbing the floor as well. I peered at my hands. And the room was filled with light and colour.  [And I hugged the ones that were in the room, and I dreamt later. ] And that was the dream. I also had the same experience in all of my dreams. The dream faded.

Then I had my 3rd OBE tonight. As I lay down in bed and still had the same fuzzy feeling - so I tried the exit technique again. And I rubbed my fingers, rubbed my hands, rubbed my forearms as well. And then suddenly I kicked over the edge of the bed and touched the floor. I remembered to use my mind to move and not to use the physical body. And then I rubbed the floor. 

And the hotel room was a bit hazy. And then as I walked with this, I rubbed the floor. And I patted my hands, rubbed my fingers like this. And the dream faded.

513-OB: Rubbing grass lawn in Regal HK Hotel

 

8.19 am

I’m right now in bed in my Hong Kong hotel room, Regal Hotel. I’m lying on my right side.

I was practising dream yoga and non-resistance and mindfulness of breathing. I had a lot of dreams. And coming out of one, I remembered to check for the phase state and try exit technique.

Suddenly I found myself in a phase state. I rubbed my fingers, rubbed my hands, rubbed my face. Right after, I swung my legs over the bed and stood on the floor in the hotel room.

At first it was dark. Then I peered at my hands, and the hotel room became visible.

Everything was quite clear — I could already see things in daylight.

It was daylight. I walked around, touching the hotel room: touching the walls and other objects. I walked around the hotel room, my hands rubbing the wall on the left.

I felt quite happy just wandering.

So I walked around, touching the walls and looking right and left.

I went back to the large glass window on the right.

At first I thought I’d go through it — penetrate straight through the glass.

But then I changed my mind. I thought maybe I shouldn’t, since I didn’t know what was outside - and it would not help with lucidity. So I didn’t do it.

I turned left and walked back towards the bathroom area.

I kept touching things.

Then I found myself outdoors. There was a single-storey house in front of me. I was floating above the lawn grass. To the left was a paved road leading to the house. I touched the grass with the palms of my hands.

Eventually the dream faded.

512-OB: Rubbed Singapore sofa

 

3.42 am

Did mindful breathe relax technique, Reminders - this is a dream - not real - will pass.

In Singapore, in Adrian’s apartment. Lying on my right side, I felt the familiar phase state and thought, “This is it. Let’s do the exit technique.”

I rubbed my fingers together, rubbed my hands, and immediately felt that characteristic rubbery sensation.

Then I rubbed the surface of the bed with both hands, rolled over, and stood up on the floor beside the bed.

I moved to the left and rubbed the surface of the window, continuing to rub all the way to the door. As I walked, I kept rubbing the walls and sides.

When I reached the door, I tapped the wall and door firmly with my hands a few times, then yanked the door open roughly.

I expected to see something—but it was still dark, though objects were faintly visible.

I tried to look at my hands to draw in color.

After stepping through the bedroom door, I suddenly saw rich, thick color—like a developing Polaroid picture.

Then objects appeared: a sofa, some kind of glove-shaped sofa.

I reached out and tried to rub it with my hands. The dream faded.
