      Alas, much less dedicated to reality checks and awareness today, still doing some but much less. I was however spending a great deal of time interpreting last night's dream about the "use case of death" and I managed to figure out what that was about. Also I went though my dream journal and counted that in the last 40 days or so, I had 8 vivid long dreams, 1 lucid WILD, and about 40 dream fragments. That means that my concern that my dream recall is bad is a bit being too hard on myself. I need to be more patient and more forgiving with myself. I am doing ok.

      Edit: Ok, here is my dilemma: I realize that I have not day dreamed in a while. Another thread reminded me of that. Day dreams have always been essential to keeping me sane. I believe that in order to bring down my stress, I need to start day dreaming again. problem is: daydreaming is likely to reduce my awareness and make me question reality less because I will be in reality less. However, the day dreams are very likely to reduce my stress, an I do believe that my stress being as high as it is is interfering with my success in lucid dreaming.

      I am thinking maybe I can alternate the two: daydream some and be aware at other times. Alternatively, I wonder how much awareness I can have during day dreams, since the point of them is to escape reality and to clutter my mind so that I have less mental resources to stress with, I am not sure how aware I can be, without loosing the benefits of daydream immersion.
