side notes

Hello all,

I'm new to posting here, have been lurking for about a year. I randomly had a LD about 1 1/2 yrs. ago, and wanted to learn how to have more. I've been reading about all the different methods, tried some of them half-heartedly, and have managed to have a few LD's. I am now ready to get more serious about my DJ and RC's, and hopefully have better success at LD'ing !.

I won't be posting all my dreams on here, but I'll be updating my progress daily. Yesterday I bought a new 5-subject notebook, wrote down my 2 dreams from the night before, and this morning wrote down my 9 dreams I remembered. I usually have really good recall, so I'm lucky there. I keep my phone next to my bed so I can type in keywords when I wake up during the night, and those are usually enough for the entire dream recall to come back to me.

RC's - the bane of my existence ! I've never been consistent w/ them, but starting today I am going to stick to them ! I havde an app to program alarms throughout the day, which I set for every 20 min. I RC by counting my fingers, trying to poke a finger through my hand, and looking around at my surroundings, asking if anything seems strange. Most of my LD's have just sorta happened spontaneously, where I realived all of a sudden I was dreaming. I have a hard time questioning the weird things during dreams; hopefully the RC's will help w/ that.

Starting tomorrow, I'll check in each day w/ how the RC's are going, and anything interesting about my dreams, and hopefully soon I'll be able to report a LD ! Thanks for checking in !
