Heh, I made it sound confusing, just want to get it right.

Yeah, well, I'm 'cheating' a bit on that one too. If I miss the target the first time, I remind myself to hit it the NEXT time it occurs again. Usually with a stronger reminder in my head (usually some focussed visualisation about the target).

What counts for me, personally, is that the idea of doing an RC is triggered INSTANTLY from seeing/hearing/doing the intended actions. Like with the stairs, I had to re-do it 2 times yesterday, but finally it was so imprinted I got lucid on that one

Maybe it's a good idea to post your own 'how to improve' tips with your daily score, to get from a 2/4 to a 4/4 and eventually to a 10/10 or so

Today is a special day for the Dutch
Sinterklaas has come, he loves kids so much
Sinterklaas was born 1600 years ago
He was a bishop that became a saint or so
So long before the existence of Santa Claus
This nice man came by to visit our house

He gives the young ones presents and sweets
That's all what a little kid needs
Their harts are filled with joy
When they receive a new toy

The grown-ups have their own part of fun
Starting late, when the kids are dun
Wrapping presents in a funny way
Accompanied with a poem in which they say
Nice or naughty words about the one who receives
Sometimes joking that they are little thieves
Or saying the truth about habits not so good
But always with a smile, to lift up the mood

In the tradition of writing in rhyme today
Here are the targets, go out and play!


Targets for Wednesday 5th of December

I'm sure these will be easy to remember!

I will do a thorough Reality Check today
The next time I hear a christmas song play

And before you go to sleep or nap
Remember to RC when you open a tap

Next time you see a number or date
Make sure you critically check your state

To complete the list with number four
Ask yourself 'Am I dreaming?' when you open a door


Imprint this list into your head
and report your results in the thread!

Good luck and sweet dreams

Sint and his black petes

This is my first poem in English
I hope it doesn't sound too 'Dunglish'

That poem was awesome.

I'll be doing them all like a day late coz of time difference probably, or at least at weird times compared to everyone else.

I open Google - Yes

I go up or down stairs - Didn't happen

I hear someone say 'hello' (or any other greeting that is common at your place) - Yes, very soon after so maybe not

I smell perfume - Yes

I'll count that as 2/3

Hm, Dutch christmas today? Wonder why my dad didn't say anything....
Lol, your poem was ..errrr.. good?
lol, nah some was and others just don't rhyme if you sound them out but it was funny! lol so it will help me remember

I hear a christmas song play - Complete
open a tap- Complete
see a number or date- Complete
open a door- Complete

Yay- 4/4!

I cant believe I just followed your link today lol

Im def in on this although I will wait for the next days exercises as its already 23.10 so its a little pointless to start now

Hear a christmas song: Complete. LOL, this kid in my class suddenly burst out singing "we wish you a merry christmas" during homeroom. It was pretty funny and it was odd enough that I remembered to RC.
Open a tap: Complete
See a number/date: Complete
Open a door: Complete

Yay! 4/4!

Aw, bad day. I only got 1/3 (I didn't hear a Christmas song). I guess I just wasn't really into it for some reason.

im in.

for tomorrow:

1. when i see a dry erase board
2. when i hear music
3.when i see plants
4.when i eat

Great idea! Recently I've been doing RCs often during the day, but mostly at random intervals or when I catch myself spacing out (that happens often btw).

1. When my internet screws up.
2. When my ANNOYING dogs bark.
3. When the phone rings.
4. When my dad nags at me.

It's funny, because all four of those things piss me off so bad. I hope it doesn't screw up my dreams, thought.

Kyhaar how coem your name is orange? Isn't it supposed to be down the bottom of the main page only? I was wondering this the other day but njo one gave me and answer. Coz when I completed the lucid task I didn't ge my name in orange

The next time I hear a christmas song play - Didn't hear one, I thought I did and remembered I had to RC then I realised it wasn't one so I didn't RC

Remember to RC when you open a tap - I thought out of all I would remember this due to obsessive hand washing, but I forgot! lol ah well

Next time you see a number or date - Yes!

Ask yourself 'Am I dreaming?' when you open a door - Didn't actually say "am I dreaming" but I did a RC

I'll count as 2/3

I don't see a badge on you, so perhaps you haven't been recognised. My name is orange becuase I completed the task (it is not just the bottom of the main page only).

yeh i completed last month not this month, but it wasnt orange last month, meh.... lol

im in. this sounds cool

No targets posted for a few days... sorry for that (I see people are doing well in posting their own targets, very good!)
Maybe there's someone who can post for me tomorrow, since I won't be online then...

Targets for Saturday, 8th of December

I'll do a thorough reality check the next time:

• I brush my teeth
• I feel something warm (errr, like a cup of tea or when you take a shower, hehe)
• I hear the wind blow
• I see a dog

Good luck to all!
Please report back how well you did.
Would be nice to discover a pattern, are you better in recognising a sound, or an action you perform? And what have you done or could you do to increase your success rate?

Oh yeah, its Saturday.... Feels like a Sunday.

Sara, I'll post them for tomorrow

Targets for Sunday, 9th of December

I'll do a thorough reality check the next time:

• I see a television
  
• I drink/eat something
  
• I see that 'peanut butter jelly time' banana
  
• I hear someone laugh
  

EDIT: Oh, sorry Kyhaar, missed your post somehow, I'll just use these as my own then.

No, its okay

Although I'm not so sure about that banana

Thanks for posting targets, Tommo!
It's good to see all those people involved in this exercise

I'm not really making progress over the last week. Keep getting 2/4 every day
Maybe some more focus on the targets while imprinting will help.

I see a television- FAILED
I drink/eat something- FAILED
I see that 'peanut butter jelly time' banana - COMPLETE
I hear someone laugh- Don't remember... so FAILED

1/4

I feel so bad

I passed them all except eating/drinking but I remembered like 10 second after finishing my drink, so I guess that's a fail anyway. 3/4
