      Long dry spell. Waking life taking up all my mental efforts this year. Had a couple brief LDs in the last week after giving it a bit more attention, and also because I believe I tried a demo of a VR system a few days ago (really impressive, and totally amazing/dreamlike, probably great for LD incubation!). Recall remains pretty good but I'm not journaling much these days.

      Nice! I think VR can definitely prompt LDs. I also feel like owning (or easy access to) a quality VR headset can take away some motivation to put in the work for lucid dreaming due to the ease of having an experience, though it is an experience without the infinite possibilities of lucid dreaming.

      Did an RC (didn't get lucid unfortunately) in a dream two nights ago, so that's some progress on my practice reboot. Some good recall last night (pretty much an epic non-lucid, long 7-8 scene continuity) but only 6 hours of sleep. Gotta practice relaxation for sleep techniques and practice settling the mind meditation.

      Several nights now of quite vivid dreaming and good recall. Increasing awareness of and beginning reflection of events and features of the dreamscape. No in-dream RCs after last week's. I now have a very regular sleep schedule (big issue for me in the past), so I'm hoping for some payoff in dreaming, if only I can get back to sleep more quickly at the middle-of-the-night wakings. After about 5hrs of sleep (as always) is a very challenging back-to-sleep.

      It's too quiet around these parts! C'mon everybody, get dreaming!

      2 LDs recently, one last night. Very short, probably more of a lucid moment, but I consider it a victory. I did a BTB after getting up for a bathroom break after about 6.5 hours of sleep. I had the bed to myself so I put in earplugs and pulled a folded t-shirt over my eyes to keep things dark and quiet. I made it back to sleep (I've been getting more disciplined in my back-to-sleeps recently, eventually reigning in the runaway train of random thought chains and focusing on relaxation until I sleep, and slept for about another 3 hours. Recall is always poor after about 8 hours of sleep, but I did get lucid, and had some dramatic, interesting dreams in that period.

      It is quiet. I often have weeks between visiting here lately. It is great to hear about your lucidity and improvement in getting back to sleep!

      Congrats on the lds!

      I think we need a Winter lucid challenge to get the ball rolling!

      Set some PM targets today:

      + every time my dog yawns: HIT every time (~4-5 so far)
      + leave front door to building: 1 miss
      + enter butcher shop: miss

      Held one reflection/intention minute
      I've set goals for this months TOTM tasks. Need to meditate on these more before bed.
      Poor sleep last night, room too hot, popped 2mg melatonin still early enough to be useful, that allowed me to fall asleep eventually.

      I've made the decision to return to full-scale full-on LD practice. I've been too long away, and I've wasted too much precious time on the path towards more skillfully navigating the night and consciousness/awareness/lucidity.

      "Intention ON!"

      One of my key targets is dealing with my dream-busting middle-of-the-night insomnia. Most nights I fall asleep quickly enough, but after about 4 hours, any waking may see me up for a while, and especially when I do any sort of night practices (MILD, spend too much time recalling dreams, WILD, etc.). My relaxation techniques help somewhat, but not reliably enough. I want to get to the point where I can fall asleep in just a couple of minutes at will.

      Well obviously this year got screwed up big-time with the virus, which put my renewed LD practice on the back burner. Recall has been hanging in there, some days more than others, but I haven't been DJing and LDs are few and far between.

      I upped my intent for LDs in recent days, and have been more stubborn about those 5-6 hour wakings, really sticking in there to get back to sleep instead of giving up and getting up for the day. Today, with some sort-of-MILD setting intent for an LD and BTS after such a 5-ish hour waking, I did fall back asleep and had a brief LD -- a "sexy time" dream where I took a moment to acknowledge that I was dreaming before getting on with the action.

      Funny moment where when I cajoled the dream lady to say something sexy, she instead squawked out the response "EIGHT O'CLOCK!".

      Congrats my friend! Just saw this. I imagined all kinds of explanations for "8 o'clock!" including maybe mishearing her saying something that sounds kind of similar.
