Train your memory, who wants to join?

I just now saw this thread, and I too think that this is a great idea. I'll start first thing tomorrow!

oh joining, this can really help me for about everything :)
screw the TOTM, im still wanting to do octobers advanced task.

Yeah, I'm gonna join in on this too, looks interesting to see how many I can get :)

Yuck. This is my first one:

I put a key in a lock - Didn't put a key in a lock
I see an advertisement - Complete :)
I eat anything after breakfast - I forgot
I see a bicycle - I forgot, AND it was just after reading this thread -.-

I'll count that as 1/3.

Wow, this thread is so messy. I don't understand, I read the first post, I understand the concept and it sounds great!
But are we all doing Sara's ones or making our own everyday?
I'll start tomorrow anyway

Update: I completed the bicycle task in a dream last night. For some reason, though, I did not become lucid?

so that makes a perfect score of 3/3 of 4/4 :D


EDIT:
Last Sunday's Tasks:

I see a pet or animal - Complete (fro memory)
I look at myself in a mirror- Complete (after checking what Sunday's tasks were)
I turn on a light- Complete (")
I see a flower - Complete (from memory)

Didn't see new Sunday Tasks posted, so I did last week's instead. Got the ones I missed :D

4/4- a perfect score!

The tasks are not mine, the tasks until now were all from the book (EWLD, by Laberge) I'm just the messenger ;)
And the good thing about trying the same tasks altogether, is to see if you have the same difficult/easy signs to recognise as others.

I haven't been on the PC for a whole day, sorry to all people who were waiting for today's tasks... Will post the new ones tomorrow morning.

Thanks for all ideas Kyhaar! I'll use one or more in tomorrows targets :)

Good scores Kyhaar, sounds like your effort is paying off!!
Too bad it didn't help to become lucid yet :( What kind of reality check did you do in your dream, when you saw a bicycle? Did the RC work?
Maybe next time you do your RC's, really ask yourself: am I dreaming now?

im in

Sounds Good, i will start =D

Thanks to Kyhaar, I made up a new list of targets.

Targets for Monday 3rd of December

I will do a thorough Reality Check the NEXT TIME:

• I open a door
  
• I change clothes
  
• I hear a phone ring
  
• I see an analog clock

Imprint this list into your prospective memory and remember to check the FIRST time you hit each target.

Report back at the end of the day, or when you've encountered all targets (being them hit or miss doesn't care, this is only about the FIRST time one of the actions on the list occurs!)

Good luck!

PS: i'm going to be very dedicated about it today, I so much want to have a lucid dream tonight!

Kind of late right? Maybe I'll tyr these ones tomoro
Ah, screw it I should get all of these by the end of the day, I'll post back later.
Thanx Sara

Late?
Maybe for you, but my Monday has just started :P

Partial success! At one point in a dream last night, I became lucid after doing a nose reality check, but it only lasted for a couple of seconds before I woke up :(

I actually did it about 3 times to make sure I could actually breathe through my nose.

Oh well... I'm getting better at this!

EDIT: More ideas

- Go onto dreamviews
- check your e-mail (or phone messages)
- see someone you don't recognise
- see an iPod
- go up or down stairs

Haha o ok.
Well, I open a door - Yes

I change clothes - Yes

I hear a phone ring - Couldn't remember this one but I don't think the phone rang anyway

I see an analog clock - Yes

3/3 on first shot!

Today:

- I open a door

- I change clothes

- I hear a phone ring (remembered about ten seconds afterward)

- I see an analog clock

4/4

Okay, here's how I did my first day:

I open a door: Succeeded
I change clothes: Questionable...
I hear a phone ring: Suceeded
I see an analog clock: Failed. GRR! I can't believe I missed this one. Literally less than a minute after reading this thread I glanced at a clock. Then I looked away, and 10 seconds later I was like, "oh, crap." :P

Ah, well. It could have been a lot worse for a first try.

I open a door: Complete
I change clothes: Complete
I hear a phone ring: I'm proud of myself for this one. I wasn't thinking about it at all but the phone rang and I immidietly did an RC :D
I see an analog clock: Failed. This one didn't happen til the day after I started, (different time zones muck it up) but I don't blame that too much. Took me ages to realise i'd failed too >.<

Nice to see that so many people are joining!
Sorry, I have very little time to spend online (visiting friends) so the only post I make is the new targets of the day...

Targets for Tuesday 4th of December

I will do a thorough Reality Check the NEXT TIME:

• I open Google
  
• I go up or down stairs
  
• I hear someone say 'hello' (or any other greeting that is common at your place)
  
• I smell perfume

Imprint this list into your prospective memory and remember to check the FIRST time you hit each target.

Good luck!

Oh, my own results for yesterday:

2/4: clock and door.
Phone didn't ring all day and I forgot about the clothes.
However, I remembered instantly to RC when I unlocked my car and later when I looked at the stars! (targets from some time ago)

I open a door: Complete
I change clothes: Complete
I hear a phone ring: n/a (no phones rang)
I see an analog clock: Complete
3/3!

GOOD NEWS- Guess who completed the regular lucid task of the month? Moi!

Apparently, my dream name is Jheraerea, told to me by a blonde waitress. During one part (near the end) of the dream, I was thinking of whether it was time to do a RC. So I did one, became lucid, and did the task. This is the... second night in a row (third to have done a RC in a dream) in which I have had a LD. This is great!

Wow, congratulations on the TOTM! Nice dream name! Does it have a special meaning for you? All your effort in practising RCs is paying off :)

I hope it wil too for me, I got 3/4 today, I only missed Google and I think that's because I didn't give it a lot of thought in the morning.

I open Google - Complete

I go up or down stairs- Failed (did it right after I read this, too)

I hear someone say 'hello' (or any other greeting that is common at your place)- Failed

I smell perfume - Complete

Only 2/4 today. Oh wel

@ Sare: About my name? Not sure, but I think I could use it as a character's name at one point.

Completed 3/4. I remembered the stairs one about five minutes afterward. My record has been much better than when I first started this exercise.

I am in for sure! My prospective memory sure could use a boost! I think this was a really good idea to organize.

I open Google: Failed.
I go up or down stairs: Succeeded.
I hear someone say "hello": Failed. This one's hard because if you hear someone say "hello" you're probably thinking about saying "hello" back to them, not doing an RC.
I smell perfume: n/a, I don't think I smelled perfume.

Bleh. 1/4. :P
