I practiced all the exercises in full over the weekend and overall had a good experience with them. I could get myself to the state of feeling like everything was a dream pretty easily and with more practice I could maintain it for a while. Exercise 3b left me feeling a bit drained of mental energy though when trying to recall the events of the day (and I was only halfway through the day by the time I did it) but I may have been trying too hard to remember as many details as I could, it took maybe 20 minutes at least. I really liked exercise 5 though and feel like I will do that one the most from now on, when alternating between dreaming objects around me and dreaming parts of my body I began to get a strong feeling like I was in a dream and after I had gone the whole way through I was able to hold onto that feeling for a long while. No lucid dreams yet though and my recall was poor last night, but I'm still hopeful and will keep trying these exercises.
