Somebody draw something to make me cum~

sorry everyone for the troubles.
I love making it and I don't want to give up now.
please don't say anything.
ignore my other posts.
if the thread ever gets to page 10 or buried it means i die.
make the thread by then.

>>3202290

>>3202290
thank you

>>3202290

just retire already

>Shriney is back
my next drawing will be a cat to celebrate

>>3202211
moirem ya dingus

>there's another post only strengthening the theory that shrineycat is also chicocalte

>>3202426
Isn't it obvious?

Apart from a few notes/doodles I'm on a break from studying right now, spent the last 4 hours reading and trying to understand one of these drawing books, I'm probably going to carry on after I get some food and chill for a bit, with the plan of either working back through some sections after I've finished reading it to cement the knowledge, or just using it as a reference to look back on and apply to my own OC.
We're getting serious and its fun.

>>3199645
you'll watch me suffer and you'll LIKE IT

>>3202290
ill never bully you shriney!!

>>3202470
excellent anon, keep it up

We've gotten so good, I'm so proud of you all.

>>3202628
who's we? have we really gotten so good?

>>3202364
No, I still submitted.
Only 31 seconds too late.

what plans do you have for the profiles, W?

I want a way to show your best pieces on your profile so I look less shitty

>>3202676

get good enough to flush all the dog shit far down that no one would want to scroll to the fucking garbage that made you a better man

i miss the daily challenges

>>3202713
You can always start your own.

tier list when lassos?

>>3202956
When someone that isn't a shitter joins and make it.

>>3202956
heres an idea everyone can vote on who gets in what teir on the website, then whatever the average vote is their teir

>>3202983
w make it happen

Choob is in the lowest tier for plagiarising.

>>3202992
You're mom in the lowest tier for giving birth to you.

As long as you're trying your hardest, you're in the highest tier for me

>>3203028

>>3203028
>
that would still put Choob at the bottom since he doesn't try hard at all, he traces other artists work and tries to pass it off as his own.

>>3203060
except for you

in for the ride now. shitty sketchbook page tho

>>3202983
sounds good

>>3203060
especially you! Keep up the good work

>>3203028
>tfw not trying hardest

>yfw Jerry will one day actually be as good as Naf

>yfw Naf will one day actually be as good as Jerry once was

Nobody gave up yesterday! ʕ·͡ᴥ·ʔ

>>3202675
Being able to shitpost in some way would be good. The kind of customization that will make people think twice before opening a profile in public or with their volume on.

>>3203164
>yfw Naf looks at artists better than him and feels exactly like Jerry does.

>>3203252
>he now looks at his jump submission and compares it to everyone else who submitted later who is better

that must feel like a bucket of shit

>>3203251
>putting pictures or music that gay on your profile
shows how much of loser you are desu

1) Who do you look up to lassos? 2) Who do you see yourself as (((Pokemon))) rivals with? 3) Who do you think has potential to be the very best?

1) Finlay
2) DecentatAnatomy
3) Agemo

>>3203278
1)me
2)nobody
3)me

>>3203280
ok naf

>>3203278
1) naf
2) I... don't know...
3) Probably agemo but I'm going to say inky instead

I miss Sasori. Having a fellow degenerate around was comfy.

i keep refreshing waiting for one of you fuckers to tick over to 100

>>3203601

sub 300 days left to have 1000 streak

Jesus Christ.

>>3203670
Lokki you tard, 670 comes after 669, not 700. It has been 675 days since LAS started.

https://youtu.be/VoRDwe8kBzw

filthy plagiarists hate when they get exposed.

>>3203681
fucking stop, this isnt how you build an audience

>>3203278
1/ Finlay too also this studyman i don't remember the name.
2/ Whizzard
3/ Someone versatile enough
.

Do you guys think Finlay traces his better works? Some of the portraits are decent...
Also, how does he manage to make his files so fucked?

>>3203783
I've never traced an image in my entire life
>better works
What work? I don't do work

This looks like fun, starting my streak today!

>>3203812
>I've never traced an image in my entire life.

You're a much better Lassoe than Chooby.

Chib

>>3203851
In response to the second question >>3203783
I will explain my image-fucking process
1.Buy a Canon printer
2. Pour alcohol ink on the scanner in a thin translucent layer
3. Scrape the glass surface on which the image is placed
4. Scan image
The result will allow the relief of each image from the light to be covered in dank smears of pasty ink in a seemingly random pattern and, when scanned, each captured preview image and finished scan will contain a black mass that will aberrate inconsistently across all scans

>>3203869
You are trying to make me ruin a nice scanner just because I asked if you trace.
Very cunning, Finlay

>>3203898
Did you know Finlay is my real name

>Get a "good" printer from sale
>can't use any printer functions without full ink cartridges
>can't scan anything
>ink price +100e

Have you guys ever been jewed this hard?

That scared me Fluff, thanks.

how do I get worse

>>3203914
You don't, you can't. Not unless you intentionally cripple yourself.

>>3203914
Take 1-2 weeks of break.
Draw a little, no refs, just doodle.
Make some effort not to pay attention when your thoughts wander to stuff you learned.
Take another break.
Draw a little..
Soon you will revert to your child skills.

>>3203903

on most printers you can forego that by keeping the cancel button pressed for a while or otherwise disable it.

>>3203903
Shit I used to work in printer sales I could have warned you, just visit the library.

I also have money invested in HP too, so this tactic is a blessing for me but also its bad im sorry.

I just posted my very first work! Go check it out! Thank you everyone!

>>3203947
It's amazing sususu. You're gonna be the next Naf. Never before have I seen such impeccable talent from out of nowhere.

Chib

animal crackers in my soup

>tfw lassies rather repeat dry memes than make comments on your drawing

>>3203783
I definitely don't think he traces. No idea what you mean about fucked files, looks pretty normal to me.

>>3202285
congratulations lassos!

>>3204105
>tfw I was so close to making it but screwed up because I was busy drawing
Just kill me now, it was merely a numbers game after all.

>>3204105
I'm so mad at myself for not joining earlier.
I could have stood with kings and queens!

>>3203918
I legit thought this was how to get better at shape design

>>3204126
It is, I did that and it works. By child skills, it means imagination.

>>3204127
Was Choob never a child?

>>3204181
Some people never play and therefore have to try and imagine a child's experience.

>You look back at the shit you have drawn
>Realize how shit those drawings actually are
>Look at the recent stuff
>Realize that the recent ones aren't really that much better

I fucking hate the blindness that masks the shittiness when i am drawing.

>>3204243
>>3204107
>>3204101
>>3203903
You're art looks nice

>>3203676
This happens more frequently than I'd care to admit. Thanks- I'll fix that later today.

I was hoping for streak icon to get bigger and bigger until it consumes avatar entirely

>>3204595
When can we prestige and start over at day 1 which we then get to post twice a day for double the gains?

Pijin is back! :D

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAP

>>3204705
? pijin been posting for like 2 months, just low frequency

>Thinking about making some kind of blog / portfolio
>Huh well i have like 1000 drawings to choose from
>mfw most of them are shittier than i thought
>mfw lots of good stuff is unfinished
>mfw i have drawn so many different things that putting them in the same place would have a weird contrast on each other
>mfw lot of my good stuff is NSFW because i draw better with my dick. I would need to have a different place for them

how to fix my lady

it kumatora

>>3204801
>yfw quantity means nothing if you draw aimlessly and never learn and apply anything.
>yfw your unfinished drawings only look good because they're unfinished, and they've be dragged down the more you finished them.

Don't try to fix go back to the sticks

?

>>3204995
Don't try to question just do what I mentioned

>>3204801
finish your old stuff and redraw the bad stuff that you still like conceptually

collaboration challenge when

>>3205139
when you make one anon

I posted!! I posted a picture !!!!!

>>3205139
collaboration challenge ?

>>3205139
Collab challenge is impossible with this kind of non-registery challenge system

Choob challenge when

>>3205005
what is the sticks?

>>3205622
The sticks is the rubble it's your urban double
Your life depends on millions of common civilians
Vastly corrupted a detractor from it ending your solace
Your life is a cold sore shock they said so perhaps the burden should be for them instead?

>>3205697
I'm closing the tab now

>>3205698
You're closing the tab, clown?
(If a wealthy area is somewhere like Capital City, then the sticks is somewhere like Hell, MIchigan)

You will be missed sususu

Any tips for designing clothes and outfits?
Everyone I draw is pretty much naked, and every time I attempt clothes it's just a tshirt.

>>3205819
build a visual library of clothes. pick any photo and just draw the clothes, doesnt matter if you hate them or think youd never draw them, youre building a database. do this a billion times, thinking about how the clothes are put together, what shapes look pleasant, how things fold, etc. after a while youll be able to just effortlessly put down something and work from there.

>>3205819
This >>3205833
Otherwise put various clothes on, get mirrors and draw yourself.

>>3205819
have photos open of several different types of clothes, draw your own clothes based off of those.

Don't copy.

>>3205819

see
>>3205833


Also giver your characters a place and time to be
. Use descriptive language to help paint the picture more fully.
Is this character contemporary, historical, future, or some combination of the above?
what is their personality like? is it something you can reflect in their style of dress?
what culture are they apart of? where are they from? Are there things you can pull from the internet to get an idea of the clothing and styles used in that area?

>>3205928
>
all that bullshit just adds to the anxiety of not knowing how to draw clothes. Just draw clothes, fuck all the nonsense.

>>3205819
an outfit works for the same reason a painting does. silhouette, colours and values to direct the eye, harmony in repeated elements, all that design stuff you're learning anyway. although it may be best for you to do >>3205833 first.

>>3205964
>thinking is hard lets not bother

Even if you feel sad or have no energy, just draw!
Never give up anons, you WILL make it if you work hard!

>>3205964
the more adjectives (constraints) you add to your drawing the easier it is to arrive at a solution.


Example for "just draw clothes":
-Draw me a pretty girl
-put clothes on her pls

example for descriptors:
-pretty girl
-1800s
-france
-seductive
-confident, almost domineering


Which do you think gives you a better mental picture?

>>3205964
>>3206207
should add this, its slightly related

>>3206210
this is nice
i cringed at the porn part a bit tho

>>3206210
>>3206262
Kek, I remember this post, it was a thread about composition if I remember correctly.

That is not sugoi, not sugoi at all!

>>3206202
thanks anon

>>3205819
You should do what others have said and build that vis-library, but in the meantime it would help to just know different garment types and their variations. Then you can customize from the base up without relying too much on reference.

You can apply pic related to women's clothing. Men's styles are more subtle in design changes and the changes tend to be more structural. For men, you either build on 3-4 existing styles or make some over-designed chuuniware. Good luck.

Also, an outfit itself is a composition. You really only want one piece to stand out and the rest can be simple, solid colored clothes.

God I hope we get an option for a dark theme eventually. I can't stand super bright websites.

Thanks for all the clothes advice lassies,
I will try my best

>>3206826

This is good ref I will treasure it

>>3206918
feels so long ago

>>3206771
It literally takes like an hour to implement it, just e-mail w.

>>3206771
use your own browser's CSS

w, start drawing again

;_;

>>3206771
there are browser entensions that can make your website dark

Do any of the 10 final week ones still post here?

>>3207014
Fluff and naf I know I'm missing a few but off the top of my head I know of those two

>>3207016
>there are other week ones but they're so irrelevant you can't name them

How do I get good?

>>3207051
Step 1. Be a man
Step 2. Adopt a dog
Step 3. Clean up after it
Step 4. Fuck I forgot the last step

>>3207051
FUCK IF I KNOW
HOW DO WE GET GOOD

>>3207051
>>3207056
I hear that part of the secret is just to draw every single day.

>>3207061
I do that but what if develop a bunch of bad habbits and cement them

>>3207062
bad habits is style

>>3207014
yes I do

why dont you stream sometime lassies

>>3207086
The stream thing on the site doesn't work properly

Whoever devs the site! reminder to add some sort of manual stream notification option for users

>>3206983
No need for that, it's not added cause I'm lazy, not cause I don't know about it. Like so many other things. Like I've said many times, I don't have that much free time these days. Something like a dark theme could be made by anyone. If you really want it asap, what takes the longest is finding colors that look alright. You could probably steal from existing themes tho like 4chins tomorrow theme. There shouldn't be that many colors used in general on the site, like 4-5 elements recolored and the site's completely changed. If you find me some color codes for the different things, backgrounds etc on the site I can add it pretty quickly I think. Use a browser's dev tools / inspector to play around with the background-color css property of different elements.

I doubt anyone will bother doing this tho, but that's your option for now.
The next thing I plan on doing it re-doing the overlay with names on image thumbnails to look more like the ones on artstation, I think those are a lot nicer than what we've got atm.

>>3207008
Too shit, too painful, don't really enjoy it anymore, it's just a chore to me now sadly.

>>3207101
It's been removed for a while. Don't really get how it wasn't working for some, I always turned up when I checked myself, and I tried some other random streamers who showed up too. I'll probably take another look at it some time.

wow i found the reference jerrybreem used for vilppu and i have to say i've underestimated his power

>>3207206
THIS IS WHAT JERRYBREEM ACTUALLY PERCEIVES

IMAGINE LIFE THROUGH HIS EYES

ONLY THEN CAN YOU UNDERSTAND

>>3207206
All jokes aside, he seems to be improving.

>>3207243
his mark making is becoming more sophisticated yea

Why can't I look at pomf links? Anyone else have the same problem or is it malwarebytes being a bitchfaggot?

>>3207256
no idea, i'm not having that problem myself

>>3207256
>>3207268
Isn't it because those links are dead?

>>3205819
look up a ton of fashion concept drawings imo, it's easier to get the idea of how it works than from flipping through real life things

i think there are GUIs for it if you are afraid of the command line. works for a lot of porn sites too

>>3207858
JDownloader works for pretty much anything

hello discord lasses

the CIA shut us down, please keep drawing

I hate being a slow learner. I should be much further in basics by now.

>>3208268
One can only conquer the basics by surpassing them

>>3208042
Did the discord really shut down? It's been over a year since I checked in, but I always was hoping to return to talk to people I missed.

>>3208299
Discord as a whole had technical difficulties for a little while

>>3208042
when i went in there i thought the discord server was kind of lame desu............... i'm sorry i'm saying this...

>>3208299
nah im just fuckin around, it was just down for maintenance

>>3208350
it's okay anon, thanks for being honest

I don't think I will ever do anything meaningful in this domain.
Moreover, I don't think there's anything to justify my continued existence in general.

>>3208455
Hey me too, see you tomorrow

>>3208273
Re-contextualising Nietsche from babby philosophy book "The Philosophy Book" eh?

>>3208455
Why do you think that?

It feels like my skills are actually regressing, guys. At first I just thought that maybe I have an easier time spotting mistakes in my art, but I've just looked at some stuff from a few months ago and I've definitely gotten worse. How do I stop this?

>>3208568
Start studying with purpose and applying concepts you learn instead of mindless doodles.

>>3202337

>>3202426

he's not it's just coincidence

>>3208299
Still all here for me

You dun goofed that challenge saucy.

>>3208698
I did? what have I done wrong?

>>3208708
Wait, I forgot new site doesn't require you to sign up for the challenge it's working carry on, it's working, sorry.

>>3208490
Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not that educated.

>>3208350

People generally draw people but is any theme acceptable?

>>3209109
Is it called drawingpeople.today?

>>3209109
Drawing something other than humans would in fact be preferable. The people we like the most, though, are the ones that draw a lot of different stuff

>>3209115
no need to be salty anon

>>3209119
like i care what you like

Can the deadline pls be moved forward by one hour.
I keep missing it by mere minutes.

>>3209198
You can move it up to a week.

>>3209198
Why not double post now so that you get your day taken care of "mere minutes" after it starts instead of minutes too late?

platinumsumairu no!

>>3209198
Just start earlier. Start your next day right now. Instead of rushing to get the deadline, you'll be able to wait until the deadline hits, then submit your work, then start on the next day's submission (or you could start it before the deadline if you wanted). This still means you're still drawing and submitting every day but there's way less pressure.

>>3209209
>>3209202
I tried this before but during the week I just don't have much time except some in the evening so I'd have to draw then, get up in the morning to submit and be done with it.
That would work.
I'll try doing that.

>>3209214
Fuck I make a mess of my post.
I meant that haven't tried this before, I always submitted in the evening because that was the most convenient time for drawing but it's also closer to the deadline.
I'm just a bit frustrated now because I would've reached 100 streak in less than a week if I hadn't fucked up.

>>3209216
Once you get on the early bird schedule, you just keep drawing in the evening, but your post is tomorrow's because it's after 00:00 UTC.

you will be missed ramune, beanhead, flyingskin, anyssla and notta.

wtf why did Ramune get eliminated? I saw his post today

>>3209237
He changed his post frequency from every 4 days.

Someone wanted to see the process of my car painting.
This isn't as big or detailed as the last two cars I did. In fact, it's really low resolution. And the perspective isn't as interesting... But here anyway. I guess you could consider this one more a test. Next car I can do the same thing.

>>3209275
Pretty cool stuff, anon.

>>3209275
I was that anon--thanks, man! Pretty interesting that you do a really loose greyscale before blocking in on the color.

>>3209275
perspective is warping a bit but looks nice!

the2banana you don't have to do all that autism for perspective. I know you're probably following that new masters academy tutorials but most of that stuff is unnecessary like the cone imo.

>>3209675

Fair, but it feels like if I'm not meticulously measuring everything out, I can't competently draw things in scale or position.
Drawing all the glasses/bottles was a complete nightmare free-handed, so the perspective grid helped a lot.
I still have a lot of mileage to cover before these measurements become second nature, but right now I still feel retarded without my measurements.

>>3209958
I think there is an easier way for the glasses, like draw the large block of glasses in perspective then divide that box freehanded and/or using the X method to find divisions

>>3209965

That makes a lot of sense, actually. Thanks.

>>3208598
I will make it up to you

>>3209275
this is a great example of polishing s turd. the colours and values are actually nice, but it is a shame they were wasted on such shit construction.

>>3209976
>polishing turd
I don't think that means what you think it means!

>>3209976
the heck he didn't spend a long time on it at all
stay jelly

I deleted my submission to reupload it because I did some changes and this happened, W, just so you now.

>>3210125

You either have to change the file name or use a different host.

>>3210125
you did some changes to the picture and it still managed to find it as a duplicate? That's weird.. It should only happen on identical file uploads. I'll fix it to exclude images from deleted submissions tho, thanks.

>>3210128
That shouldn't matter, it checks the hash of the file uploaded. So if you upload to a host that doesn't reencode your image and fuck with the size/quality like imgur, it's gonna be a duplicate regardless of filename. If you say resize image by 1 px it's gonna not find it again.

god dammit i did it again

I've just had 3 hours of sleep and now i've got to go to work for the next 12 hours and then come hoem and draw
I'm sorry in advance for the poor quality of my submission

>>3210560
I have pretty much the same schedule, we will make it, don't worry about it and just draw!
Gotta use that little time you have as best as you can.
Go for it!

>mfw i have been like this about a week
>mfw this feels worse than the shit i got in the army

God have mercy.

>>3210749
How important is that anyways. People die. Your friends and family will die. Its just a presentation.

>>3210767

Yeah it would fine if i could realize that it doesn't matter that much. It's just not that easy sometimes.

>>3210749
What are you going to present?
I'm sure it's going to be fine, just don't forget to draw today!

Also,
>replying with saint George to dumb dragon poster
Good.

I had a dream where lassies bullied me because they thought i was a tranny

>>3210379
Come be my assistant for free, then you can waste time on that shit

>>3211168
>my time is too valuable!
>*shit posts on 4chan*

That sad cat face with the submission 1 is just too funny

to my past self:
a sharp, repeated reprimand
for the regrets i have now

until my inevitable sinking,
i will burn this self hatred as fuel
on a makeshift boat to nowhere

Who's ready for Choob to fail again in 2018?

>>3212062
>tfw never post ref
>no one cares anyways

>>3212062
so what's with chooby? i get he traced and stuff, but is that it? on the current site he has no significant presence whatsoever and hasn't even posted in like a month, so i guess i don't get why he's brought up so frequently. unless it's just him posting about himself.

>>3212118
that is literally it, but some autist obsessed with him wont stop spamming it every thread. just ignore him and forget it.

>>3212118
Isn't he wery active in the discord tho?
It's either him shitposting or some discord girl who has a Helga type crush on him.

>>3212125
I think he's in a monogamous relationship with Lampblack the turd polisher.

>>3212133
is that a drawing

>>3212372
I think it's sleep anon

>>3202285
working on this for this week

man i've been feeling shit about my drawings for week's now, the only reason i'm keeping at it is i don't wana lose my streak.

>>3213031
>decentatanatomy
damn, am i wrong or did he have a really long streak?

>>3213037
>tfw just realized the site doesn't show previously highest streak recorded
w add this please

>>3213031
A minor slip up. I'll try to keep going a little further.

>>3212951
i'm new explain.

>>3213042
seconded, this is a vital feature

>>3213042
yes please add this or else.
i don't know if i missed anything but when i counted decentatanatomy's subsequent submissions, it came out to be like a 74 streak. but i'm not some kinda computa calculator or nothin'...

I feel like adding a 'like' feature would be cool too

i hope decentatanatomy is alright. shitty situation to be in.

>>3213081
god please no

Choob, please stop.

>>3213091
I've never been in a fight but it seems like it would be a lot of fun. Sometimes I WISH a nigga WOULD yknow?

>>3213197
i know what you mean, sometimes i want a reason too.

Hey, I dropped outta LAS like a month or two ago. I was wondering if you lads had heard any updates on Lava? I feel like the lad may actually be dead if we still haven't heard from him, he was shit but he was autistically driven. Poor lad.

>>3213230
pls drop out of life.

>>3213254
How bout u go an fuck off my page then u peice of shit u think I need a stupid fuckwitt like u telling me about looking good who the fuck are u take your worthless advice and get the fuck out of here you juicy slut

>>3213197
Until he shows up with friends and you get your ass kicked or killed. The strength and skill difference needed to fight more than one person at a time explodes exponentially and requires a force multiplier like a gun.

How are you feeling today, LAS?
I'm feeling a bit https://vocaroo.com/i/s18r86JUWysj

This is already implemented and your highest streak is recorded, I just don't show it anywhere yet.

>>3213547
Dear developer,

Could you please display the highest streak on the profile page?
Oh and could you make it so that when you select an item from the top menu, the menu closes automatically, it's a bit bohersome having to close the menu because the upload form is hidden behind it.
Oh and I also want to thank you for your effort in making this site.

>Oh and I also want to thank you for your effort in making this site.
Me too, thank you W for doing so good work with the website, you are helping a lot of people.

Fixed the menu not closing on upload/settings clicks.

>>3213829
Added highest streak to profiles if a user's current streak is lower than their best.

>>3213847
nice job my dude

>>3213230
I don't really care either way, dude dropped contact cold turkey and then came back. When he does it again, y'know, fool me twice..

Thanks w, for giving us a place to go ever since las vanished.

I think I'll stop submitting for awhile to fix my sleep schedule, Im too tired all the time after work and cant even bother to try things just mindless doodling until I find it okay enough to submit. This isnt good in the long run.

>>3213961
Wish you luck

Yeah thanks W for the site.
And happy Thanksgiving to all the burger lassies.

That's ok anon, fix that sleep. If you don't get enough sleep you will not learn very effectively so that also kills the point of the draw every day thing. Come back soon!

Arma's avatar is still the best.

Cant wait for all the deaths christmas is gonna bring. Good luck chums

I had a dream that my brother drew way better than me and proko was teaching me perspective in real life. I was sitting in a class looking at a projector and proko was talking about how his process of painting street hobos in the inner cities and how he just didn't want to paint them eating peas around a fire. And he was talking about ways to make perspective scene better. He was his old funny self, it actually felt real. It felt like I was learning something.

One day we will be able to use our dreams to gain art abilities while we sleep.

>>3214451
That's a nice dream. We do gain art abilities when we sleep. The brain keeps solving problems, and also transfers stuff to long term memory.

>>3214451
Funny dream. Why didn't he want to paint the hobos eating peas around a fire?
Also, we can use our dreams to gain art abilities while we sleep!
Like the other anon said, our sleep time is the time our brain consolidates stuff we learned in the day to long term memory and all that.
On top of that normal sleep and dream stuff, there have been studies showing that practicing things in lucid dreams helps increase skill quite a lot.
There was one study where participants practiced throwing a coin into a cup from far away. Those who practiced in real life saw a 15% improvement. Those who practiced in their lucid dreams saw an 8% improvement. The control group that didn't practice had a 0.5% improvement.
Every time you do some activity, there's the physical side of it, and the mental side of it. And while the physical action is often what brings about that mental activity, you can have that same mental activity occur without the actual physical action. So practicing something in a dream engages and strengthens those parts of the mind that would be engaged if the physical activity was actually happening. Hell, did you know that just *thinking* about lifting weights makes you stronger?
If you learn to lucid dream, then you can try anything, or put yourself in any sort of scenario, and learn from it deliberately. People have used it to overcome fears, to practice and rehearse things, explore difficult ideas, the possibilities are basically endless.

how does one tap into the power of lucid dreams

>>3214766

>>3214869
search for it, there's a lot of methods to train it.

Good night, lassos.

Fuckin kil me

First thing, get a dream journal, write down your dreams. You need to strengthen your dream recall. Most people forget most of their dreams. It could be that you're experiencing lucid dreams every night and just don't remember.
When you wake up, don't start thinking about your day and what you're going to do, but instead think about what you were just doing. You know, what you were doing in your dream. If you think about other things, the memory of your dreams can basically disappear in seconds. You have to practice focusing on your dreams immediately as you wake up. Then write whatever you can recall, even if it's barely anything. For a dream journal, you can use an actual journal, or a word document, or whatever. It should be easy to read through later is all.
Second thing to know is how to perform a reality check. You need to be able to check if you're dreaming.
The most reliable one that I've found for myself is the "nose pinch". You pinch your nose, pressing your nostrils shut. Then you try to breathe in through your nose. If you *cannot* breathe in, that means you're awake. If, however, despite your nostrils being held closed, you *can* breathe in, then you're in a dream. My theory is that your body isn't going to stop something critical like breathing just to simulate the sensation of pinching your nose in a dream, so you can still breathe. The most important part of a reality check isn't just the action though, it's being mindful. While doing the reality check, really pay attention to it, and pay attention to your surroundings and your senses. Note what you feel, like your feet on the ground and the temperature. Note what you see, what you hear, what you smell. Ask yourself if you're dreaming and find out for sure.
Those are the two critical basics: dream recall and ability to check if you're dreaming.

>>3215076
>>3214869
The next thing is the actual techniques. The most "normal" one is called DILD. Dream Induced Lucid Dream. This is your standard lucid dream, where you're in a normal dream and realize "oh, I'm dreaming". The general way to increase the frequency of these is to be more mindful and do reality checks throughout the day. When that becomes a regular habit, you're bound to do it in a dream.
There is a more specific way, however. You can go through your dream journal, and find things that commonly appear in your dreams. Maybe it's a person you know, or a place, a certain feeling, a scenario, or an object. Find those common things. Those will be your "dream signs". Now, every time in real life you come across one of these things, do a reality check. Eventually you'll do the same in your dreams.
Those are the basics, they'll take a while. Once you're actually in a lucid dream you'll have to practice certain things to increase stability and sharpness. You should also look into the other techniques, like MILD, DEILD, and the most difficult technique: WILD. That's where you go from a waking state to a dream... without losing consciousness. It's very difficult, but it can produce dreams which are "automatically" strong and extremely realistic. There are lots of things to try, lots of variations on techniques. Just lurk around the Dream Views forums or something. And even without lucid dreams, I think keeping a dream journal is worth it. It can give great ideas, inspiration and entertainment for later. If you're really going to go for it, good luck and have fun.

I do actually keep a dream journal for those reasons you stated at the end, it makes for some really goofy and interesting stuff for sure. I'll definitely look into the other info too, I was lookin into reality checking last night, its pretty interesting.
