I've made up A4 prompt sheets with mantras etc. One has "When I dream I'll wake up and remember the dream" in very large letters and I taped it to the cupboard and laid studying it till I was drowsy (which was soon...I normally go off quite easily)

I now realise that I'm missing hints of dreams and probably misinterpreting them as passing thoughts when I wake. I find recovering a dream a bit like grabbing the tail of a retreating worm and teasing it back out of its hole. Suddenly, it's out in the open and the memory of the dream floods back...and I not grabbing enough tails, quickly enough. I woke up a couple of times during the night...apparently dreamless and I got up at 6.30 am, had a coffee (it definitely doesn't hinder, probably helps with dreams) then back to bed. I "grabbed" one dream.

I suddenly began to run very fast (hints of wanting to impress) I worked my way thro some sort of canyon and arrived at a kind of rather run-down garden centre. There were "hints" of a *pump-house and of one or two *employees hovering around. The * indicates Dream Signs (my brain is dangling them regularly in front of me, also like worms, on a hook this time...and I'm still not biting yet)

I'm hampered by leg pains during the night, which are distracting, but I still feel that I'm inching forward. More work needed on dream recall, increased effort on ADA (as suggested by KingYoshi), WBTB is good for me, continue trying for WILD using my lounger during the day (given at least a 2 hour uninterrupted window) and ever onwards
A thought...“...anticipation of happiness can sometimes be as gratifying as its consummation.”
