Thread: My job helped me obtain lucidity.

Alright, hopefully I attracted a lot of people with the title . So I'm hoping you guys will read this and maybe give it a shot.

I was just hired at AT&T and we have been training all this week from 7:30AM-5:30PM. This is my FIRST job! This is very exciting for me and I've been trying to follow the rules at my job as close as possible. One of the rules is not to be late. They have a strict attendance policy. They have mentioned this to the new recruits over and over again.

^^That has to do with becoming lucid.

Anyways... I've been going to bed at around 10:00PM-11:00PM every single night and waking up at 6AM all week. I get ready, eat, pack my lunch, water my plant, and make sure everything is in order. It all takes about 30 minutes.

About 6:30AM I go back to bed always waking up to glance at the clock periodically (about every 10min).

What I'm getting at is that I have had more false awakenings and dreams than ever before this way. I have become lucid only once and it was very brief, because I had to get up and leave for work.

I know most of you will say,"Oh big deal it's only once. Whats that prove?" What it proves is that not just doing a WBTB induction is enough to get some people (me) a lucid dream, because I've been doing WBTB's every single day for the past 2-3 weeks and haven't had any LDs. Most of the time I'd just go unconscious and wake up and be like what the hell happened?

Knowing that I had to get up and be on time and leave at a specific time made me SO much more conscious while I was trying to get a nap in before I left. I only had one LD, because I just wasn't realizing in my dreams I was dreaming (DILDing). That's something I have to work on by doing more reality checks. My one LD that I had though was because I did a WILD.

The summary of all this is that if your not able to WILD/WBTB in the mornings. Maybe it's because you don't have that extra drive to make sure that you stay more conscious. In my case it was to leave at a certain time and not be tardy. It might be something totally different for you, but I just thought that I might mention this and maybe other people could branch off of this technique, whatever you'd like to call it, and get more ideas from it.

Hope you guys read all that I'm sorry it was long.
