I find it difficult to select the targets because I can't think of any specific objects I am likely to run into in my Dreams. Only scenes at best, but my Dreamscenes vary incredibly from night to night lately.
When I pick target objects I want to be sure that these objects are ones I am most likely to encounter in my Dreams.
Yeah, more responses here, more people joining, that's great :)
Well done roguext22 and LDoneironaut!
Do you think we should practise the same targets next week we've already done, or should I come up with 4 new targets every day? Or maybe pick the ones that most people missed and replace the targets that were easy for the people who responded? (then you would be able to see if repeatedly picking the same target, increases the chance to hit)
Have to run for the bus, but here are the tasks for today...
Targets for Monday 26th of November
I will do a thorough Reality Check the NEXT TIME:
- I write anything down
- I feel pain
- I hear someone say my name
- I drink something
Imprint this list into your prospective memory and remember to check the FIRST time you hit each target.
Good luck!
PS: this is the last day I didn't put online, so maybe tomorrow I'll start with some extra targets not from the book... (see if I can find some dreamsigns from people who join this exercise :) )
- see a flower (complete)
- turn on a light (complete)
- see a pet or animal (half- took me 30 seconds to realise it)
- see myself in a mirror (failed)
2.5/4 (IMPROVEMENT!!!)

2/4
Very cool thread. I won't be able to check the posts in the morning, so I'll be doing the one the day before. I saw this thread yesterday and decided to go for it:
-I write anything down: Failed
-I feel pain: Failed
-I hear someone say my name: Completed
-I drink something: Completed
I'm ill today and probably won't be leaving my house, so all 'indoor targets' for today :-)
Targets for Wednesday 28th of November
I will do a thorough Reality Check the NEXT TIME:
- I hear the sound of the door bell
- I sneeze(don't know if this is possible to happen in a dream...)
- I pick up a book
- I smell food
Imprint this list into your prospective memory and remember to check the FIRST time you hit each target.
Good luck!
Wow. I really was so out of it today.
-I see a traffic light: FAILED
-I leave a building: FAILED
-I hear music: FAILED
-I wash my hands: FAILED
Failed all- didn't see any of the tasks before I had to go for the day. I'll see if I can do some during the two hours left I am awake.
EDIT: Nope. Still failed all.
I really wanna join this, but I have trouble picking targets. My targets should be Objects that I am likely to encounter in both Waking and Dreaming Life. I can't recall any specific objects I freqeuntly encounter in dreams, cuz lately my DreamRecall has dropped to just above 0 (can't put dreams to words) and my last memorable dreamscenes were a party in a forrest, A huge school/mall-like public building, the Airport and Distant, sunny rocky Islands. There's not 1 scene or object of which I can expect to encounter it again in a Dream anytime soon, so that makes it difficult selecting targets.
Maybe I need to simplify it. I'll try.
I will RC:
-When I encounter a Road
-When I see Trees/Forrests
-When I'm at School/Mall/Public event
-When I find myself Traveling.
I'm King Chaos, A scatterbrain 1st class, so I will most likely forget all 4 goals all together the first days. :P I''ll report back.
What are the next tasks?
If I don't hear from you before I have to go, I'll do Wednesday's
EDIT:
I hear the sound of the door bell- complete
I sneeze(don't know if this is possible to happen in a dream...)- n/a
I pick up a book- failed
I smell food- 0.5 (Might have smelled some, but didn't notice. Did remember when I was holding good-smelling candy, though)
1.5/3 or 1.5/4- your choice
Well done, Kyhaar!
Due to illness, I was too tired yesterday and this morning to write down the new tasks. Will catch up with it tomorrow morning, cause I really feel that this exercises helps me.
Isn't this from EWLD? I liked doing this excerise, I think I forgot about it though and stopped...O.o Maybe I should try working on that again.
Yes, it is :DQuote:

I sneezed this morning (before reading this day's activities) and did an RC
So thats 2.5 / 4 for me, for yesterday
I've been away lately, so I haven't been posting about my progress with this. I'm already done with today's, though:
- I put a key in a lock
- I see an advertisement
- I eat anything after breakfast
- I see a bicycle
So, three out of four. I changed "put a key in a lock" to "enter a password" because I don't much use keys and locks. But I forgot anyway.
I put a key in a lock - changed to "brush teeth " since I am not in charge of the keys - COMPLETE
I see an advertisement - Internet adveritsiement- COMPLERE
I eat anything after breakfast - little piece of candy- COMPLETE
I see a bicycle- n/a even when I went for a walk
so, 3/3 or 3/4- your pick
