Thread: DannyCool's Workbook

See you soon!

ok so what can i do. more reality checks. form long term habits around dreaming. i will start off with going to sleep in the correct posture every day and 7 reality checks tomorrow. That is achievable. Ok i am not turning back to nothing again.

Well done for coming back.

I have done something similar - 2 unprovoked lucid dreams have re-ignited my interest.

I have come to a stand still so the only option is Gravity RC. I am going from 21st June to 1st Oct.

Day 1:
The start was quite easy. I was able to feel the gravity everywhere almost all the time. The only thing that blocked me was like distractions about things I needed to think about. I lost it though in my sleep but my recall has been pretty good. There is a catch though as the thoughts do start to take over. This is not necessary as I have noticed that i can think a little only a little without loosing the gravity.

Day 2.
Well after the first day of success I think there was a bit of a backlash from the mind as in i might have been repressing my thoughts too much. Having the gravity awareness while allowing the thoughts to flow through is the key. Now for example I want to do thinking about when will three months be up and when will I have this challenge complete. If I do that without getting too carried away I can keep my gravity. The most important thing is to keep the gravity constant as possible.

Day 3: As expected I have slacked off on Day 3 but this is the purpose of the journal. I did remember many times but it was not constant like in the previous days. Gravity has to be the number 1 way. This is a great reminder. Lots of activity is a distraction and also conversation but it does not have to be. I am aware of gravity again.

Day 4:

I am still going quite good and I have noticed a difference in my awareness. I am definetly more stable and am aware when my dreams start but often wake up at that point. I did engage in some negative emotions which have decrease my strength and ability to keep with the gravity. I am remembering the gravity rc and I think this is the main thing. Keeping up the journal here is vital. Dream recall has improved.

Day 5. Well my energy got depleted and found it way harder to remember or feel the gravity. i was slightly conscious of it but my weight or inner strength had been lost. I am not going to forget it though and will be able to keep it going.

Keep it up Danny! Love the idea of tracking your progress daily for the upcoming 3 months and focusing on a single goal. I remember couple of years ago we had this summer challenge where we would pick couple of goals and try to complete them by the end of summer. It was really good for our dreaming practices.

Thank you NyxCC yes so today i had a slight awareness of gravity all day but my thoughts dominated mostly. It is so easy to get distracted but then again I wasn't working on it so hard that i will get a rebound like a did on day 2. If i pick up the concentration a bit now I might find the balance .

Day 7: Well only slight awareness of gravity today and i feel that the emphasis is not enough so very gently i am going to have my beads with me and every time i remember i am not recognising the gravity i will count a bead. Very gently but consistently. As long as i keep the beads with me now i will be good for this task. I am also noticing that there is nothing more important than gravity rc even chasing women comes second place by a long shot to this. It is such a wonderful activity it is even more important than whether someone goes vegan or not or whether Trump gets voted in or not.

Starting at Day One again. Going to just work on my feet today to start off again. I will keep working on it again and again.

That was good yesterday. Today I will do legs and feet and the gravity with it.

Day 4 of Gravity Part 2: Getting more skilled at this not at the level I had it know that it is there though.

Just saw you posted a comment on my DJ thanks, so thought I would just put a note here.

I noticed that you are 'starting again'. I'm also trying to LD again having taken a long break, started again yesterday. Using hand and gravity RCs.

Good luck to you and keep us posted!

Will Do Man. Ok so today I will do awareness of gravity in general and link it to my meditation.

Gravity is there all the time so I dont need to worry if it is there or not just to know that it is there and it is linked to my master and dream guide. It is the only thing I am thinking of today.

Mindfulness as well will make this easier. Somehow my mindfulness has dropped a little.

Hey Danny! How is gravity related to your dream guide?

This was a helpful question. Gravity itself has nothing to do with my dream guide only that it is a constant. It is a constant feature of waking life. When I am not distracted I am aware of gravity. Now essentially my dream guide is lucidity. If I am aware of gravity and I am not distracted then I am lucid and I am connected to my dream guide. In a lucid dream my dream guide will give me instructions. Whether those instructions are true or not depends on whether I am truly lucid or not. As Tenzin Wangal points out that to have a dream that is not full of karmic imprints is the only way of really meeting your dream guide purely.

Ok since I was last online here I have had two lucid dreams so I must put my counter up to five. One was when I was in an airplane and it was getting all sort of emergency problems. It was very realistic. Just before we were going to crash and I thought I was going to die I knew it was a dream and woke up . The other was much longer but not as vivid. It was when I noticed my sister I realised it was not a dream. At the moment I am dreaming about how important it is to take responsibility. I think if I remember this during the dream I will go lucid instead of trying to play out the dream hoping things are going to be different.

Last night I had two different dreams. One was early in the morning and the other just before I got up. In the second one I could actually see myself in the mirror which I thought was quite cool except for the fact that I was missing a load of teeth. There seemed to be a lot to do with changing clothes as it featured in both dreams. In the first one John Cleese was taking his coat and jumper off and just throwing them away into puddles. I was trying to get him to help me down in a bunker. I attempted wild went to sleep mindfully and recorded in the middle of the night.

Last night I fell asleep well and don't remember waking up all night. When I woke though I had a good recall of a dream which included my dream guide. I was in a desert and a retreat was being set up there. It was far away from anyone but that did not seem to matter. My dream guide stepped on my hand. I was right underneath my dream guide and this felt really good. He gave me some instructions about how to get my hand from under his foot! I did not do a WILD but did remember rcs yesterday.

Last night went well again. The day before I did not do so much rcs but I fell asleep calmly and had a good dream which I remember as soon as I woke up. I know there are other dreams earlier on the night but maybe I will wake up to record them too. Both dreams were quite scary but with a lot of hope. I want to also remember that even though the dreams seemed real they were only dreams.

I woke with a start this morning as I was not expecting my son to run into the room and he seemed to have some pressing questions and then instantly my dreams disappeared. It is amazing our brain has the capacity to remember dreams anyway. Remembering improves the awareness during the dream so journaling does help a lot.
