This week went by fast, quick and mundane. As did the dreams.
About halfway through the week my recall went downhill, I could still recall some dreams but they came to me later on during my first waking hours of the day.
A lot of them were like last weeks, not really exciting which is why I didn't post any dreams yet.
At the end of the week I got the recall back under controle. I really prefer waking up during the night for recall.

And I think I've had some first hints of attaining lucidity!
I was offered a drink by someone. And in my head I started thinking to myself; I have to remember to buy her a drink later this evening.
My guess is that the thought about remembering triggered something in my head.
So as I had this thought in my dream, it slowly began to dawn on me.
Unfortunatly the realisation came in whilst I was beginning to wake up. So when I figured out I was dreaming I woke up.
I've embraced this as a good step forward and motivation to maintain a good awareness of my reality in my waking life.

So the objective of this week was to keep up the recall, and I think I did succeed in the end.
My objective for next week is to maintain/improve the recall and I'm now adding awareness to my AL agenda.
I learned focus and discipline are very important these first weeks, cause before you know it, it all slips away.
Second thing I learned, routine.
The weekends really aren't any good for my sleep patern and the alcohol doens't help recall either.

But that's ok. My vision is to explore and enjoy the waking life as much as I can, without it the dreamworld is useless.
You must really experience the waking world to get the best out of your LDs right?

Well that's what I think at least.

Also, as a side note in a side note.
I created a new thread in the General Lucid Discussion.
It's about the experience and perception of time during lucid dreams.
The thread is still on the first page so I'm not gonna bump it yet.
But I'm very interested in the experiences and opinions of you, the forum community, about the subject.
So check it out if you've got the time and are interested in discussing it.

Goodnight,
Booney
