Lucid Dreaming: Good or Bad?

So about a few weeks ago (or a month?!?! o.O)
I saw this post on 9gag...
(yes, I'm a 9gagger. It took my soul. Sheesh.)

It was about Lucid Dreaming, which is being able to be conscious in your dream and controlling it, basically.
OF COURSE IT GOT MY ATTENTION.
So I started searching about it,
I went here - www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com
It's a good site :)
It says there that dreams happen every night, but they're so blurry that you can't remember them. Or you forget them 5 minutes after waking up.
No one exactly knows where dreams come from, but to me, to make it simpler,
When you're awake, you use the conscious part of the brain, but that doesn't mean your subconscious is absent.
But when you're asleep, you use the subconscious part of your brain that gives you your dreams, and lucid dreaming is living proof that that doesn't mean your conscious mind is absent when you're asleep.
Many people actually can have lucid dreams every time they sleep.
Now let's go to the reasoning:
Pros (advantages)
1.) In Lucid Dreaming you can live out your wildest fantasies: 
Not the usual fantasies, but even the ridiculous ones like FLYING, or KILLING SOMEBODY, or HAVING A DATE WITH YOUR CRUSH.
Anything.
Name it, think of it, and it's yours in your dreams.
a 360 degree High Definition view of your fantasies coming to life.
Who wouldn't want that?
2.) You can actually ask your subconscious self any question:
With proper technique and practice, you can soon (literally) talk to yourself in your dreams, but with a better response.
You can ask like, What job should I take?
or Who should I love?
or What should I do with him?
or Show me something funny. (not a question, but you can still do it.)
or anything.
3.) Good training for your brain:
By lucid dreaming, you can have a better and more alert brain, because you can teach it more things and let it develop into using some parts you may not use.
Yes, if you study, it will probably make you smarter, in SOME circumstances.
It's like exercising you brain but you won't have to do much sacrifice.
More virtual, i tell you.
Now to the cons:
1.)Sleep paralysis and O.B.E.s
These are times when your brain has fully paralyzed your body in preparation for dreaming, but you didn't achieve full dream status yet. So you settle in paranoia and you get scary hallucinations of the worst stuff that may happen to you. BUT YOU CAN'T MOVE A MUSCLE coz you are paralyzed.
Scary, i know.
These can turn to the most frightening nightmares imaginable. Yes, if you're weak-hearted, or some kind of scaredy-cat and you tried lucid dreaming, you might die of dreams. but only if you really, really are such a scared individual. No worries though, there's more chance of you getting beat up by a bunch of retarded giraffes than of you dying from nightmares.
2.) False Awakenings
Those are the times when you "wake up" from your dream, but you're not really awake, but you're dreaming
Aren't real cons, but are sometimes a bad possibility so yeah :D
OVER ALL:
In my opinion (no hate),
Lucid dreaming can be a very amazing experience to everyone.
So I'm going to label this one GOOD :)
*traditional lyen krenz thumbs up*
Why? Because whatever worse your nightmares can become, remember, it's still YOUR mind and you control everything that happens in them.
You CONTROL YOUR DREAMS.
So, the more confidence you have over your brain, the less chances of nonsense nightmares.
:))
Take it from me,
I actually realized I was dreaming in a dream once,
that I was in some space army with Nyx (random, I know.) then we were unpacking our things then suddenly I snapped,
"I'm dreaming aren't I?"
"What?"
"I'M DREAMING AREN'T I?!?!"
"What?"
then I flipped the table then suddenly I was alone.
I was looking at my feet, so excited that I was conscious that I was awake, and then I wanted to fly...
I was jumping, then all the excitement caused me to wake up -_-"
So YEAH, Lucid Dreaming is a thumbs up for me :)
How about you? Tweet me your answers, folks! @lyenkrenz ;)

Shakespeare?

Hello Guuuuuuuuuuuuyyyyyyyysssssssssss :DDD
You see, the school year's ending and now I hafta go say bye-bye to beloved 2-Kostka and go on to being a third year highschool person :3
BUT,
as I was cleaning out my bags, my room, and all bunch of stuff for school,
I kinda stumbled upon some of my previous S.Y. 2011-2012 poetry and short stories,
and since I found them pretty good, I decided to share them to ya, coz I luve ya :*
Here's the first one:
It's actually a reflective 3-stanza  poem I wrote fro my Christian Life Education class :))

     Feeling Alone, by LKPY ~orig~
                     Sometimes I feel like I have my moment,
                    All Alone, nothing really matters.
                    So I just pause in amazement,
                    Everything washed away by chatters.

                   Cold, dark, wild and free,
                   I just can't describe.
                   That thing I have with me,
                   That feeling myself vibe.

                  I just stare at empty space
                  Like I have my own place.
                  My thoughts disappear without a trace.
                 That smile I hide in my face.

WOW. JUST WOW.
For some reason, I can't believe I wrote this, and second, it makes somewhat more sense than some of the crappy new music today. No offense :O
Second here is a story I must've done when I was so bored in class, (which is rare, coz I'm Asian)
It's really, really random. Really.

"The Lovesick Frog and Logical Swan." by LKPY ~orig~
Once upon a time, a frog decided to marry a swan.
"Swan, oh please dearest swan, Marry me." The frog said.
"Eeeww! No! Yuck!"
"Please swan. I'll be the best husband you'll ever have."
"No, Frog. I don't love you."
"I'm sure you'll learn to love me. Marry me dear swan!"
"No, even if I do, where will we live?"
"Anywhere in this pond you like! You'll be my queen."
"No, what will our children look like!"
"I'm sure they'll get your grace and beauty dearest swan!"
"But they'll get your ugly bumps and disgusting green color and slime!"
"Eh, we can manage that. Oh please dear swan! Marry me!"
No frog! We can never be together." the swan said as she flew away.
The frog mourned and cried, until after years, he met another beautiful frog. They married and lived happily ever after. THE END.

OKAY, MY REACTION TO THIS:
I must've been high.
Not just, i-smoke-weed-too-much high, the makers-of-spongebob kinda high.
TROLOLOLOLOLOLOL, I laughed so much when I read this xDD

And lastly, and possibly the poem you might all relate to:
I wrote this for English and it contains 7/8 prepositional phrases.

Greek to me!
In my room, all alone.
Staring at my homework on my desk.
I have my friends I wanna phone.
To help me get this mess!
I though it would be a piece of cake,
But oh no! for my sake!
What is this, on my desk, really?!
It's all Greek to me!!

Voila! It could've been a high school nursery rhyme at that.
To be honest, it's one of my faves xDD
I had no idea I could write stuff like these.

Okay, so that is all :)
I'M SO RANDOM AND CRAZY, I know.
But Heck, I'm a teenager, that's what we do xD

Thank you, and follow me on twitter: @lyenkrenz

WE ARE SURVIVORS.

March 9, 2012

"I'm a survivor I'm gonna make it. I'm a survivor." Good, now sing it again the chipmunk way.

                       Okay, I'm not talking about the kind of survivor from cancer or something. Like, I'm talking about robbery or anything else that could've killed us.
You see, we live in this subdivision with many reports of robbery the past few days. Like this woman who just came from Florida was jogging (apparently, she had all her expensive jewelry with her) and then they got snatched by guys on a motorcycle. Next, about 2-3 houses were robbed as well. Everything happened quickly, but we took note that they all had something to do with a motorcycle.
One afternoon, when I was about to go home, I was in a car and lots of things were on my mind.
Stress.
and more bull.
I wanted to get away from all of it.
Without thinking, as if my hand was controlled by a ninja, my hand reached to my pocket and got out my cellphone and called my friend, Abigail (You would've known her from the POOL EXPERIENCE. It was her birthday that time. Tweet me if you want a link :))
So it went a little something like this:
"Hello?"
"Hello Ab, feel ko mag lakad lakad today." (I'd like to go walking)
"Nagastudy man ako sa exam." (I'm studying for an exam.)
"Oh. Okay." cue sad voice..
"Pwede man, mag review lang tayo habang naga walk." (It's possible, we can just walk while you're helping me review)
"Great, thanks, see ya."
and then as I got home, I threw my bag on my bed, got dressed, ate a little bit of mcdonalds and left.
I used my bike at the moment.
Lalallalalalalal~~ me, biking... lalalala.
So I get to Abigail's house, waited for a while outside until she finished her reviewer.
I left my bike and we started to walk.
Every time a flock of birds go by, we made a wish. Alexis told us so. xD
First I helped her review, like,
some names that sounded awkward I renamed.
I still remember, Edward Cullen Double Decker Burger
and there was Munckin living.
and two answers.
we laughed the whole time while we were even walking at the middle of the road.
Then we started talking about my problems at school, that was the main reason we met.
I could only FULLY trust Polarians.
then when we were beside the beach,
Vroooom, Vrooooom.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?!
A motorcycle.
I told you to look out for motorcycles.
We looked back and saw two guys on a motorcycle, one wearing black, the driver, and the one behind him, in white.
We were already frozen and half-panicking because of the motorcycle.
We stopped.
No one was there, just us, the beach, the grass, the bird, the microorganisms and other cellular life.
Then they passed us, and were even smiling at us, I think, I didn't wear my glasses at the time.
BUTT WEIGHT,
at the end of the road, they stopped and started to turn around.
Abigail was like:

I was, too. but not very much because I couldn't see any much without my glasses.
then she started to walk away at the intersection before they could get any closer,
she whispered, "Hala, bumalik sila Lyen, alis na tayo lyen." (LYEN! THEY ARE COMING BACK! WE GOTTA GO!)
then I got it.
She started to run,
I started to run and scream.
Like so,

Really, I was.
So Abigail laughed while running,
and I laughed too.
Let me get this straight.
We were panicking WHILE laughing.
 We ran as fast as we can to the intersection, and proceeded to where there were people.
Then we got to her house and ate pancit.
we started talking about how I would blog this and post the telephone wire armed meme, which I did.
It was scary and fun.

Mostly fun, then came the possibility of getting robbed or killed or raped,
or even worse, expelled.
No, I'm totally kidding about the second statement.
But still,
ABIGAIL,
WE SURVIVED, THANKS TO YOU xDD
Beware people of Gulfview, beware of motorcycles I tell you.
xDD

Talkable: Dubstep (or any modern music for that matter)

I know, I know what you're thinking.
Some of you might think that dubstep is quite old for a trend.
It ain't hot no more.
WELL THERE, BUDDY, IT JUST MURDERED MY EARDRUMS TODAY.
I just heard of it,
BUT OHMIGOSH PEOPLE OF THE SOCIETY, what kind of ears do you have these days?
No offense to the people who are responsible for it,
or the people who invented it,
or the people who came up with an easier idea to get deaf....
or anything...
BUT HOLD ON THERE, PEOPLE.
You call THAT music these days...?
Let's get back in time shall we..

I mean, I do like modern songs. no offense taken,
but some are just worse than the others.

JIMOI!

                                 " Lucky I'm in love with my best friend..."

Sometimes, the best person you can fall in love with, is your best friend.
Why? Because they can understand you, be there for you, and you can have fun with them and be comfortable.
It all started last March 2, 2012. The day when we were supposed to take our Diagnostic Test. I was there ok? This is a true story. :)
Justin and Mimoi are my classmates,
Mimoi being a part of the Folle, a girl who's pretty, understanding, and likes basketball. She's awesome, take note. and she's my "daughter" (A's daughter, Jake's sister)
Justin being a mr. nice guy, an extremely shy, quiet, and sensible person. I'm not so close with him, I guess, but he's cool. We're bro's.We had a lot of funny experiences including the dance practices with Jake.
He had a great talent though.
He's an awesome singer.
Like Jordan Jansen's angelic voice...
Anyways, that day, witnesses say that they've been seen entering the room together.
Like, they both arrived at the same time.
Coincidence? I think not ;)
Then, they were always together.
When I went outside to sharpen my pencil, I saw them together too, sharpening their pencils, together. (yes, I just hafta exaggerate that they were together)

After about 2 tests, we had lunch time :D
I was there, minding my own business and talking with people, then Kass noticed them.

Then she started to mumble, until the whole class noticed.
Then as if our minds were thinking alike, we all made a quiet circle around them.
Thor was with a guitar, he brought one, and he was a guitar extraordinaire.
Then we serenaded them
With the song that started like,
"Do you hear me?
I'm talking to you.
Across the water,
across the deep blue,
oceaaaaaaan,
under the open skies, oh my, baby I'm trying.
Boy I hear you,
in my dreams.
I feel you whisper, across the sea.
I keep you with me,
in my heart.
You make it easier when life get's hard.
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend,
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acvIVA9-FMQ <---the song that might've given me the reason to feel giddy at them at the moment.
IT WAS THE SWEETEST THING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN.
And they didn't even look up, they were acting as if nothing is happening.
but Faye just noticed that the boy placed his hand above the girl's.
After their moment, the teacher got in.
But until the day ended,
we kept on bombarding them the question,
"KAYO NA BA?" (Are you together?)

 but they'd just reply,
"We're only best friends."

but theeeeeeeeen,
the next week,
they officially said that they were together.
I know when they might've met on the 1st quarter they'd not think that they'd be together.
But here they are, getting as sweet as ever.

Justin, DON'T EVER, EVER BREAK Darling Mimoi's heart.

Good luck and have fun, lovebirds <3
