I've decided to focus on recall mostly. I'm still going to *try* to do ADA, RC's, and my fledgling technique, as well as the occasional WILD attempt. |

It's good to see you back at it! Let us know if you have any questions. |

With Dreaming you need to start small and work hard grow your lucid dreaming lifestyle...
I'm not just a lucid dream, I'm a Somnonauts!!
“It’s... your conscience. We don’t talk a lot these days.”
So I managed to DILD last night. Only problem is I can't remember what brought it on. I was in a boring environment so I decided to change it by closing my eyes (THANKS FOGELBISE!) it worked! I flew around for a bit because of course I completely forgot about the TOTM/TOTY. lol I started worrying the dream would fade, so of course it did. And I can't really remember what happened after that tbh. May have woken up or went non-lucid. I need to work on recall still. |

Congratulations Tommo!! Sensei calls it the closed eye teleport, pretty awesome way to change scenes! |

Recall improved dramatically just by letting myself wake up naturally, in the last 2 days. Had about 3 or 4 SP experiences last night too. |

I'm glad the "Unified Theory" resonated with you. Pay attention, reflect, recall, day and night the same! Build your practice however you like as long as you incorporate those things. Love all your dreams! They're all awesome. The memories are there whether or not you were lucid. Here's a fun secret fact: non-lucid dreams are often *more* fun and interesting than lucid ones! Lucidity is awesome, but I'm pretty sure I don't want every dream to be lucid. Just every 2nd dream . |

Haha, well I'd certainly classify them as interesting. My dreams are almost 100% insane. Every time I start improving my recall I'm like "why am I doing this.... I don't want to remember this" lol |

Forgot to write yesterday, I had a another SP. Went to bed at a normal time and felt like I didn't sleep until 3AM. |

Congratulations on another LD!! WILD is not my area of expertise, but I tend to agree with you based on some of my limited experiences. Sometimes I am waiting "for REM" only to find out that I am already dreaming. |

Congrats on the LD! Yes, WILD is tricky. Sometimes a scene presents itself, sometimes it doesn't. I think this has to do with just how much awareness you have active. It also leads me to wonder if a scene can form at all if one is truly, firmly aware. But I'm still poor at WILD so I don't have enough experience to say. In my anecdotal experience, a scene only forms if I have a moment of disorientation: I "snap back" at the moment the scene forms, but I was not fully aware in the moments before it formed. It also leads me to think I may have had a lot more "false still awakes" when I thought my WILD had failed but in fact was dreaming of continuing my WILD. FAs are so tricky that unless you have some clues from the visual field (like your room doesn't look right), it can be nearly impossible to detect them. Yes, sometimes I think you just have to take the chance. One strategy is to move your "dream body," which is done by will alone without using muscles. Other people have good luck with trying to levitate. Sensei teleports: when it works, he knows he's dreaming! The good thing about these latter approaches is that they don't risk physical movement. |

That is a good one lol I'll try it out if it happens again. |

Recall improving again. Remembered two dreams from this morning. |
|
Auto-suggestion should do the trick. Repeating the suggestion that you "wake up after each dream", if you wish. Repeat it whenever you later remember that you forgot to do it as well and especially remind yourself before bed and during as many awakenings as you can. I definitely don't do it after every REM cycle myself, focusing most of my energy on WBTB, but I have gotten into a habit of doing it as I wake up for WBTB and then during the awakenings and mini-awakenings in the later morning. |
