Myth seems to lend itself so well to dreams, then again that was Dr Jung's whole shtick.
I like your line of thinking, very creative goals. They look very rewarding.

Well that is all a very good sign. Incubation is something that only recently have I had much luck with, and it's still quite hit or miss for me. I mean with lucids I can still go hustle and make something happen by putting in the effort, but shaping NLDs like that is only now starting to come about. (Somewhat imperfectly too.) Keep up the great work. If you find that you have a reliable knack for incubation, you could even try incubating a dreamsign that you think you're likely to catch. I'll be jealous!

Very nice! Lots of good stuff going on in that post-WBTB dream. First of all, you clearly had dreaming and Task of the Month on the brain. This kind of thing is such a good sign. I get dreams like this, too, and even though I wake up feeling a little silly, this is exactly the kind of mindset you want to have in your NLDs to give you the best chance of breaking over into full lucidity. It's good that for (at least) two nights in a row you've been getting these dreams about dreams and levels of awareness that seem to be just under lucidity. Did you do anything in particular to incubate your dream of a mirror? It's not that I'm trying to get you to tell me just so I can steal your technique. Oh wait, yeah I am.

Perfect. This is how it began for me too... lots of close calls, dreams about dreams, dreams about lucidity, and just more and more of the concept bleeding into my default mindset. This is all a really good sign and I think you are incredibly close to walking across the threshold and having that "Holy crap, this is a dream!" moment. Very exciting! Stay on top of this momentum and start amping up your critical questioning and suspicious, skeptical mindset. You are close!

On some nights where I sleep for a long time but with lots of awakenings, my recall tends to be a lot better. That does leave me feeling a bit more tired sometimes. I wonder if that's what 's going on for you. I find (and I think/hope you'll find this too) that when you hit that first lucid you're going to feel pretty energized. Love em.

Heh, I like the false memory of dream plagiarism! But what really gets me is that if you remembered gab had this dream and you realized (falsely) that you were copying her dream... did you have some inkling that you were actually dreaming at that moment? That sounds like a super close call to me!
Thanks
Eh, mundane or not remembering anything is good. Gotta remember those lucids after you have them
Close! At least you thought about RCing. Looking forward to future updates Good luck
