▲ 4 r/Dreams

I have persistent dream characters and can control my own dreams without standard lucid dreaming.

I don’t and have never been able to lucid dream, but I’ve always been able to control them since I was a child. I just think, "I think I need to fly here," and then I fly.

I also wonder if it works for others the way it does for me. The only way to find out is to share my empirical methods with everyone, and I look forward to receiving your feedback.

I WANT EVERYTHING IN MY DREAMS TO BEND TO MY WILL THROUGH EXPECTATION.

Instead of thinking about what you need to do to achieve something, you just need to alter your expectations:

"This character will help me."

"This item belongs to me."

"You will be kind to me."

"I just need to try throwing something at it / solving the obstacles / approaching and luring it... and it will disappear."

"This place doesn't seem favorable, so I will fly / get a car to drive away / find a weapon to attack / ..."

...

The core principle is that you must be confident, thinking: "I deserve it," "It is a matter of course," or "Obey my commands immediately."

PERSISTENT HELPERS (DREAM CHARACTERS)

Regarding the persistent dream characters that assist me, I don’t know why I’ve always had a specific helper from childhood until now. I only recently started looking into Lucid Dreaming, and I have categorized the types of these characters and how you can condition your brain to generate them:

- THE ADVENTURE SCENARIO: Actually, you don't need to force them to appear right now. I think you should just move along slowly, and when you suddenly feel, "Oh, this place is confusing and inexplicable, I need to decode it right away," your brain will immediately logicize a helpful character for you for the rest of the journey.

- THE ROLEPLAY SCENARIO: I'm not entirely sure about this one. Usually, they appear right from the start. However, I think you can just grab any random NPC and think, "You will be my guide," or look at a specific spot, expecting them to step out from there while thinking, "A helpful character will start walking out from here to assist me," and your brain will generate one.

- OTHER SCENARIOS (combat, nightmares, etc.): I rarely encounter these (I never have nightmares), and most of them don't involve a specific character following me—it’s more like I’m directing and acting in my own show to make myself look cool in the dream, so yeah.

I look forward to receiving everyone's feedback and opinions, and I am open to answering any questions you may have.

Thank you for reading and helping me refine my ideas.

Motivation: Sprinting 11.3s like Josuke gave me a 3rd ball.

And it's hairless.

And an injury that keeps me off the grass forever.

Josefumi’s life was written further thanks to Yoshikage.

Josefumi was the reason for me reading Jojolion. But Josuke was the reason for me staying. And Kira is a marine doctor. :v

Sorry for this cheesy post.

Josefumi gives me a glimpse into the starting point of Josuke's "Who am I?" question.

Who would I be if I couldn't help anything for Ms. Holy and her son?

The way Josefumi admitted he had been dead for a long time or the fact that he was always abandoned makes me judge it that way. You know clearly who you are - not because of your name given by others, not because of height or weight, not because you are simply thinking... you are simply you; judging it that way, you will never feel like you are being abandoned. (Sorry if I’m trying to be too poetic, what I mean here is that once you perceive yourself without needing external factors, then external factors cannot affect you, therefore you are not afraid of being abandoned.)

Honestly, I know that Josefumi and Kira are truly dead and Josuke is a completely new man - the one born from the ground, the one with no family, no ideals from the start, truly a new creature, defined by no one and has to seize that freedom himself, the meaning of life, of this new journey.
But I always think, Josefumi was given by Kira - or more accurately, Josuke inherited the ideals and families from both, saving his mother and knowing the answer for the question "who am I after all?" for himself.

I feel like, Josefumi was granted by Kira the chance to have a new family, where he is cared for and noticed.

A chance or being able to decide for himself "who I am".

Kira was also given another chance by Josefumi to save his mother, fulfilling the aspiration of both - of both people who died, died a long time ago because of the tsunami.

▲ 4 r/German

(A2-B1) Do you have any recommendations for vocabulary lists, learning methods, or listening channels?

I’m currently at an A2-B1 level in German, and I'm teaching myself.

I don’t really have a specific study method, except that I tend to learn grammar based on whatever I feel like saying at the moment. At first, I thought, "Great, time to show off", but then I checked my German and realized I was only scratching the surface. I’m still at A2 because I haven't learned as much vocabulary as I thought.

Thank you very much!!

Danke schön!!

[OC] Read Jojolion and you'll have to read my pooppost in r/Jojolion

It's not just about YasuGap, there might even be some Yaoi if you've got the Passion. 🫃

Since I'm being forced to post a lengthy analysis, I'm going to talk about why convenience stores often run out of fried chicken:

The shortage of fried chicken at convenience stores typically stems from a mismatch between unpredictable demand spikes and the strict shelf-life protocols of hot food displays. To maintain food safety and crispness, staff only prepare small batches; however, a sudden rush of customers can instantly deplete stock faster than the 15-20 minute frying cycle can replenish it. Furthermore, supply chain fluctuations or staff shortages during peak hours often lead to intentional under-production to minimize food waste at the end of the shift.

Finally, there’s a manga where the protagonist perfectly matches my ideal type. An eccentric and man of few words. My friends don't understand why I've become so silent and have forgotten what happened before.

They don't know my true identity and have no clue where I hid the Rokakaka branch. I don't care about any of them, except for Yasuho - my lovely woman and that attractive guy Tooru.

I wish I could enter the manga world and reveal my true self. I am certain that I am the real-life incarnation of Gappy.

In my view,

Rohan is the type who would storm into the kitchen and sketch out a detailed plan to neuter 4 Balls right after his third loss.

Jobin would throw even more money the more he loses, to the point that Steak just can't stop cheating.

And now I hope they don't Google him.

I wrote something like: Josuke was devastated by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, but eventually found his calling as a Haiku poet. He then honed his craft and improved his poetry, becoming an icon of self-development. This shows that to grow, one must have self-confidence, set clear goals, and build the discipline to achieve them.

Ok.

I'm still a beginner, just practicing writing basic web scraping scripts. After trying a few challenges on HTB, I've become quite curious and want to understand them. What do I need to learn?
