You can certainly journal and work any other training at the same time. I find it useful to pick very focused tasks to train your brain. This is just one example.

It would be for every day until you have done it for a long while. When it comes natural even during very short sleep cycles, you then try to expand each key word later in the day. Write 7 key words. Think about them for only a few minutes. After you have had breakfast or exercise or bathing you will try to remember why you wrote the key word. It will be hard because you did not write anything else down. Try to get at least one sentence regarding the key word. Example. I wake and write down bark, fire, clover and so on. I go do something to fully enter the waking world. Later I try to remember what I was doing last knight. I think about the words and there is a memory there somewhere. Bark: something about pine trees out in the forest. Fire: Guys standing around camp fire. Clover: My mom's yard on Ruby street.

You can do it in any way as long as it is a simple step by step exercise that makes sense. I find this kind of training good for the short sleep cycle. You can try to do your recall after you are at work and write the sentences. At the end of the shift you can write a journal if you want.

Wow, i can actually implement that while trying to find my proper REM cycles (which im doing atm) so I get an extra benefit while still finding the cycles, also if im extra groggy or late for work i can also practice it. Thank you for the tip.

LUCID DREAM IS COMMING SOON, I CAN SMELL IT !

For me the perfect cycle is after I have slept enough that I am close to done sleeping. For me that is at about 7.5 hours. I wake up enough to use the restroom, and attempt WILD.
