Thread: Lucas(Potter)'s Workbook

Okay, time to get everything organised. First things first. Reality checks. I'll start focusing on them again. My dream recall has been pretty good, so I'll just keep writing on my DJ. My main goal is going to be meeting some characters I've created. Let's get this party started!

Nightmares. Nightmares everywhere.

Once again... lots of nightmares.

And last night, I had SP within a dream... which is always weird.

Dang, sorry on your nightmares.

Why so many nightmares? Are you okay?

It might be the depression? I've been taking antidepressants, but then I couldn't go back to my psychiatrist and ended up staying almost three weeks off them (which... not good AT ALL, I was having brain zaps and it was weird). I've finally got back on them yesterday, so let's see if my dreams get better now?

Also, I have not been doing RCs at all. I keep saying I need to start focusing on them and nothing yet. I'll get on it!

Okay, I've done some RCs today. Not perfect, but better.

I have no idea what I dreamt last night, which is weird, cause my dream recall is okay/good. However, I woke up fine and well-rested, so I'm choosing to believe I had no nightmares at all.

I've also increased my RCs. Sure, it's been less than a day, but it's already a nice improvement.

My RCs have been going quite well! Sadly, I didn't get much sleep, only three hours, because I was worried about my godfather (who lives in Sydney). Even after I found out he was okay, I just couldn't relax. But later I can take a nap.

I haven't taken a nap and it's already 8 PM, so I guess... no nap for me.

RCs still going strong!

Aw, crap. I was gonna attempt WBTB last night. But then I stayed up until four in the morning...

I'm definitely trying it tonight. And at least now I have more time to work on Sageous's classes.

Also, my RCs are going well enough. I need to make it more of a habit, though. I remember to do it about... once in seven hours? So yeah. It's going, but it should be better.

We'll see how the day goes.

Did my RCs and did Sageous's first homework! It was a good day!

I read his second class just now and, while I was ready to start paying more attention to my REM cycle, now I know what to look for in a more effective way, so... thanks, Sageous's!

I may also try AstroFlyer's isochronic tone suggestion tonight.

Mistake of the night: I woke up a bit over an hour after I had gone to bed. And then already tried WBTB, immediately. Note to self: that's a big nono.

You live and you learn.

Read Sageous's third class. And also, I've been doing my RCs right and also Sageous's first homework. Based on what happened last night, I'm gonna try WBTB the second time I wake up tonight. Let's see if it works.

I'm also gonna give the isochronic tone another shot. Even if it doesn't help inducing a LD, I find it soothing, so... a few more attempts can't hurt.

Oh, wow. I was exhausted last night/this morning. I woke up a lot, but I didn't have the energy to do more than just roll over. No willpower at all, I know. I'll work on that too...

However, I had to wake up kinda early today for a dentist appointment, so I was also anxious about that - I kept thinking I was late. Maybe tonight will be better, since I don't have anything to do tomorrow in the morning...

The good news: RCs going strong. Sageous's first homework going well too. So yay!

Still doing RCs a lot. Sageous's first homework too. I also have just finished reading his fourth class.

I'm interested in trying the month challenge, so... I guess now I NEED to get lucid, huh?

I've identified a dream sign of mine: bathrooms.

And yet, I've failed to do a RC whenever I enter one, and this has cost me a LD last night. I NEED to work on this.

On another note, I haven't found the right time to try a WBTB. I'm trying different times each night (I wake up a lot, so I guess I have lots of options), so I'm sure I'll figure this out sooner or later.

Time to read Sageous's fifth class.

I found my mantra!

Tried a few times during the night, but I was up until almost four (woke up a bit over nine), so... I need to get my sleep a bit more organised.

BUT I HAD A LUCID DREAM JUST NOW BEFORE I WOKE UP AND I EVEN DID THE TOTM!!!

I had lunch about an hour ago. I think I'll go for a nap in a few minutes and try WILD.

So I ended up sleeping for three hours. No lucid dreams, but at least I feel rested. I've been feeling exhausted as hell lately.

I believe it's time to read Sageous's next class.

Lucid Dream Goals:

- summon actors I've chosen as inspiration for my characters and talk to them about my stories;

- get some DCs to sing with me/for me;

I'll add more later.

- summon a dream guide;

On that lovely note... bedtime!
