    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Purpose
    Dreams, notes, and other experiments to assist in achieving high-quality lucid dreams on a regular basis.

    Terms
    Reality Check (RC): Action used to evaluate if one is dreaming. Common methods include plugging the nose and testing whether it can be breathed through, as well as inspecting one's hands for irregularities compared to waking reality.

    Memory Lapse (...): Where memory ends for a given stream of consciousness. For example, going to sleep in a dream and waking up in the dream later with no recollection of the sleep.

    Dream Initiated Lucid Dream (DILD): Lucid dreaming type that originates from the dreamer regaining awareness from within a dream.

    Wake Initiated Lucid Dream (WILD): Lucid dreaming type that originates from the dreamer maintaining awareness from waking near-directly into a dream.

    Wake Back To Bed (WBTB): Sleep cycle interruption technique used to achieve lucid dreams.

    1. Dream Incubation: Deep Forest

      by , 06-27-2023 at 02:42 PM (Dreamlog)
      Going to try something new this week. I will try to incubate the forest scene I was targeting for my lucids during the competition. This should help me be lucid - my number one dream sign is grass apparently.

      But being lucid isn't the goal here. I want to experiment and see if I can influence dream content from waking life practice alone, and if so, to what degree. I'm going to try and apply techniques from a 2012 post from Evolventity, Frobthebuilder, Oreoboy1996, and NightSpy2 (https://www.dreamviews.com/general-d...-tutorial.html).

      In a nutshell, the task is to set the intention, visualize the scene using meditation, and use mantras/art/writing to support the incubation. I plan to achieve that by performing a visualization exercise (meditation) about 15m per day in the sauna post-workout. That way it fits into my existing routine. I will also be writing down incubation entries as if they are actually dream recall.

      Goal: Dream about a deep forest setting.

    2. Night of Monday 6/27/23

      Working the Earth
      I'm on a grassy hillside area, tilling some dirt. It's a sunny Summer day.
      The tilling tool is small. Like a kid's sand rake. I am on my knees near the ground.
      I work at a monastery of some kind.
      I'm with a girl that I like, but it is a forbidden romance-type situation. Will-they-won't-they scenario.
      We are working together on the soil.
      The temple is down the way, to the left of our viewpoint.
      We're talking about our friend (waking life BP).
      There is some project involving computers that we are part of with him.
      DJ is also involved.


      Fragment
      I'm up extra early for work today.
      I reflect how nice it is to experience some cool morning air in the normally oppressively Summer heat.
