Went to bed early but read Siversons DreamYoga lesson one over a few times. Put a post up about my work on it so far... realised I have now to bring all exercises into WL more as well which means |

Your welcome. You have the right mind set. |

Thanks Sivason - been getting my mindset more intuned with these exercises often during my WL. I understood too what Lemon drops said about this probably being a stabiliser for LD'S - I sensed it because these exercises always take me to my stable mind in WL whenever I am practicing them ... Almost immediately I feel more inside myself and grounded in my reality than I did just befor starting them. |

In Tibetan Yogas of sleep and Dream it starts out with saying |

Hi Sivason Just checking in after some time. Still doing awareness practices of my own but going to do each of your suggested awareness practices some focus during the next weeks agin to refresh. Gonna focus on these first then will go in to next so that I can get more familiar with them and have them at hand when I want during my LDing day work - thanks! |

I have just been doing the first exersizes agin for a bit and stop - I am sitting on a chair the sunshine is willing in throught the blinds as I rest a while feeling relaxed. I am quickly aware of the sound of a Lorry passing through close by and at the same time the sound of an airplane over head ..lI combine these sounds naturaly and instinctively now after reading through and focusing on them ...with the sound of my breath and the soft tingling sensation in my foot as it rests on the couch as I write I feel the tension in my body as I am in a funny angle trying to write - I am reminded of the simple beauty of these exersizes ; my focus is stretched yet relaxed ... I am expanding through this or I might call it making friends with more of myself |

During some lucid dreams this morning I remember to change the colour of object and have some fun with that~ |

Mental discipline is needed here so develop it - ok Siavson I want to ok I can see this training here showing me how much I want to focus on random stuff when I have been with ' defused vision ' for a minute or two and this is my distracted mind right? Ok what do I need to do to bring this wild horse of a mind to peace in context of this task ...like how much/often do you think I should do this and would it be helpful to chant a wee mantra about lucid dreaming while doing it to keep me on the topic? Thanks |

I notice this morning when attending to this exercise that my eyes want to focus on an object in front at the same time as thoughts enter my head...when I begin thinking of something/anything in particular my eyes stop on loose thier relaxedness and so loosing the objects at the sides - that means becoming binocular I assume |

Thanks ~ been bringing the zombie stare into my daily life too today when I remember ( quite a lot today ) was thinking about why we want to "look at" and not " see " life/things/each other as you mentioned in lesson...when we 'look at' its like we block everything out and go into a kind of 'stalking' mode and my body feels more tense and ...small I think. When I remember to come out of stalker/binocular and include my peripheral vision scene or objects I feel ' bigger,wider' and thoughts feel they can flow by better although it's not good for ' thinking' about a topic ...I get the feeling if I got used to it I might find a way to ' feel' things through better ~ I like the idea of this |

Early this morning before work around 7 -7.30 had a memorable semi lucid where I am very clear minded ; knowing I am dreaming and testing out different modes of flying. Although I know I am dreaming it didn't feel the intensity of my usual Lucid's so I am not counting as a lucid mainly coz I can't remember the point at which I clearly had the immaculate realisation that ' I am aware in my dream'. I must have had a high awareness though. |
