Got lucid last night after a wbtb. Different routine. This time i had to do a few things and turn on some lights. It got me up and moving more than usual. I wilded and ended up getting lucid inside the dream after noticing some absurdities. |

Did a wbtb last night but the phone was next to my bed, so i did not get up. FOG. You give great advice with putting it across the room. My dreams were crazy! I loved them, Lots of old people in my life showing up, i had shit to do and places to go and secrets to keep. I didn't get lucid but man i had crazy memories when i woke up. It was awesome. TOnight i'm going to wbtb again and put the phone further away to get a better response time. Thanks for all the help this year. My goal this year is to keep my practice up and expanded so that by the end of next year, i'm still here and still plugging. I"m having the dreams, getting lucid, doing shit. If i can keep working, i'm going to get better and better. This time next year, I'll be much better!! |

I did extra work meditating last night and though my recall was poor, I did wake up with that tingle of boldness in my chest today. The air is crackling with a dreamlike quality. I keep checking. |

My dream recall has been off for the last few days but last night I had a pretty good set of dreams. My nightly meditation practice has been working with mindfulness and a little bit with diffuse vision and some visualization exercises before bed. I just got to the sleep yoga chapter of the Holocek book, think i might go back to the Illusory form chapters. Holiday season was full of emotions and chemicals, difficult to get to the level of peace and focus required for optimum state. Things are getting back to normal now. |

I had good recall last night. I remembered a long and vivid dream about working backstage at a theater. It was nerve wracking. I was filling in for the bell in "sure thing" by david ives. I woke up excited that my recall was so on point. I also did a brief wbtb, (alarm went off and i went back to sleep) but i noticed wild colors behind my eyelids before drifting off again. |

Standard procedure, 930 meditation for 15-20 minutes. Drink a fuckload of water. Go to bed with alarm set for 330am. Alarm placed across the room. At 330 i wake up groggy as fuck, make it across the room, pee. Walk around for 5-10 minutes and let the dogs outside. Go outside and look at the sky. Mentally prep myself to wild. LAy down and start breathing until I can go to sleep. |

WBTB WILD attempt last night. I went a little too far in the other direction. I turned on a bunch of lights and looked at pictures and movies for 20 minutes before going back to bed. Took me forever to fall asleep. Was able to get into trance and get some hypnogogia going eventually but then my kid woke up with a recurring nightmare about bears. she crawled on top of me and I was done for. I was closer and I will get back to the wild style That i was rocking a few weeks ago. That's what works. that's my pathway. I'm all about it. |

The "I WANT MY TIME ON THE HOLODECK" line caught my attention. It got me thinking about my recent demo of what I consider the best consumer VR system out there at the moment, the Vive VR. The demo really impressed me and I like the idea that it is an experience that is basically "on demand" but it just can't compare to lucid dreaming. In lucid dreaming we can activate visuals that aren't there in VR until the software is developed, and there are just so many possibilities requiring endless software programming. In ld's we can also activate multiple sensations that just aren't available any time soon in VR. VR can allow the visual of your hands to touch things, but you aren't going to feel those things or the softness of a dream characters skin like you can in a lucid dream. You won't feel your stomach drop like you can in a lucid dream's fall or roller coaster dive. Although if the brain can be tricked well enough, perhaps in the future, VR should be able to have the brain send signals that replicate sensations. There's an idea for any VR developers out there. |

My day work is on point. Remembered 3 full dreams two nights ago which is a lot for me right now. This morning i went for a wbtb after 7 hours of sleep which isn't ideal. I was able to get to the trance state but not actually in the wild dream. I'm getting closer. I've been sketching my dream goals in a separate notebook, what things i want to do and what they might look like. My skills are rudimentary but I'm working on my visualization in different ways. I'm getting better at my sense of daytime wonder and reflection. That's important. I'm going to be back in the momentum soon. Staying motivated. I keep trying every day. I keep reminding myself of my goals every day. |

I did a WBTB last night but only for a second. I was so Tired, I went right back to bed rather than try to get myself up and moving around. I went to bed an hour earlier and actually woke up at 2 am by myself but had the alarm set for three so i figured i'd wake up when the alarm went off. I should have gotten up with my natural self. I did wake up with 3 vivid dreams in my head. My recall is getting better. I'm also carrying around a notebook with me where i'm making notes a sketches of what i'll do with my Lucidity making me get creative in places while i imagine what i'm doing with my powers in the supermarket or walking down the street. |

That's been me lately, not getting in my normal WBTBs. I definitely like that sketch notebook idea, especially since it gets you thinking dreamily/creatively while out and about! |

Interesting development last night. |
|
not posting in a while. going through the motions, but my motivation has been slipping. Dream recall has been interesting, better than a couple of months ago but my mindful living needs work. |
|
I am experiencing a bit of that as well. Things I find that help in these situations are: |

I am trying to keep it together but my motivation is fading fast. I'm doing fewer and fewer reality checks daily, I'm not thinking about LD, My recall is getting worse and worse. Over the last few days I'm not even able to meditate as well as I've been otherwise. Not sure what the issue is here but I do know my goals remain the same, even if the thought of working toward them is very difficult. |
