Thread: Train your memory, who wants to join?

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

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

Only 2/4! Nooooooo! I'll revise this to something filled with less annoying things then.

1. When I enter/exit a building.
2. When I crack open a soda can. 24-packs here I come!
3. When I start/stop doing homework.
4. When a TV show starts/stops because of commerials.

Can someone help me understand? If for example you have 4 targets a day, differen't each day, and your goal is to RC upon the 1ST sight of target, that means if you only preform a RC for that unique target once.

If thats the case, I don't see how this will be effective. Honestly one time, one RC, for one unique target(then never using that same target again), is not enough to train my brain to remember in a dream: "I'm walking down a street, theres a stop sign! Ok 2 weeks ago on monday my target was a stop sign, I now remember to do a RC!".

What im trying to get here is yes, on the day i was assigned stop sign target, I looked for it, remembered to do a RC. But thats beacue that was 1 of the 4 targets of the day. 5 days later, if i see a stop sign in a dream, i won't ness remember to do a RC b/c 1)i have 4 new targets im focused on today 2)I only RC'd that target once, and 3)didn't make it a habit

The idea is to train your memory, and increase your awareness while doing it. Your targets are just to get in the habit of remembering to do something dream related. They are not supposed to be new dream signs. The reality checks are just so you will get in the habit of questioning your reality at least 4 times a day.

I find that reality checks, in general, don't help me by randomly appearing in my dreams. Rather, they keep me aware by helping me stay in the habit of questioning my state.
