Thread: Consistency

Set realistic goals for a specific date and once you reach that date, reevaluate your goals. You'll also be time managing many other things so maybe what you can expect to set for yourself will vary.

Dreaming is not about just one exercise.

For myself, I find it's pretty realistic to remember my dreams almost every day unless I wake up late for something and I'm in a rush. In that case, I'll give myself a pass. But I prefer the choice to not take the time to remember my dreams be a conscious decision. Days off for me will simply be those days I know I won't have time to remember my dream or much to remember because I have only few hours to sleep. Longer periods? Only if I have to go through a long period of little sleep. If you are cramming for exams, probably not the best time to put much effort that way. You might still do it anyway, but I like to at least consciously choose to remove the intention to try... (to insinuate that otherwise it should be a reflex to remember my dreams).

Your dream practice will include many different exercises. If you do WILD attempts, well, what's realistic for you. Once a week? I wouldn't try every single night. Reality checks? Those you can probably realistically do more often. Etc... Personally, I focus on non-lucid dreaming every day and put extra energy for MILD or DEILD on nights I know I can sleep a lot.

For myself, it keeps it fresh enough.
