Thread: Prospective Memory and Lucid Dreaming 3

I've been always having a bit of a bad consciousness in the back of my mind for not giving classical MILD a proper go.
Really looking forward to your version, since following LaBerge in this respect always sort of made me lazy from reading it.

On the other hand, I am convinced, that recall and PM are the actual doors to lucidity. Self-awareness surely is key to quality and control - but the doors, I feel, are made of memory.

I still need to finish translating my hypnosis script - I might just give it one more English shot today - but I started out journalling - and not a lot - and I feel already, that it helps. Even had a short lucid moment last night.

And I can rely on an actual bunch of DS showing up every night - really every night, esp. since I don't recall a lot, and have the same things over and over anyway. So I must do this. Yepp.





Funnily enough - I've been following a system called "Getting Things Done" - worked great - the only thing still in active practice is my filing system, though.
But that's quite an important factor, and I'm happy I went to some hassle to install it like he proposes.
I mention this, because one of his tips is to write anything down immediately, which comes up in your mind, and which you eventually want to come back to.
In the end in order to free your mind from most of all the PM background activity.
And also to go about stuff like phone-calls and going shopping and mail by collecting these PM items on paper, and review them, before using the opportunity to the fullest. Probably counter-productive for our context, in a way.

Thing is - even if you remember everything and on cue - you keep having to ask yourself, if you feel, you got it under control. And that seriously does take up thinking time and might endanger well-being.
If you can trust yourself to even write down trivial things and big things - make it a true habit - you can get a feeling of freedom and safety. Forgot, how I came to stop that. Maybe because my life doesn't go at that pace in the moment - I was a lot more active then.
