spd's workbook

Last night accidently fell asleep on my bed and woke up 5 hours later this frustrated me because I wanted to stay up a bit more. I was up on my phone for 2 hours (I had no school the next day) so I could sleep in anyway and I knew staying up all that time would bring my awareness up, I fell asleep repeated my mantra and fell asleep I woke up from a dream and quickly tried a DEILD and I was so close there was like a dream scene that didn't take up my whole visual field and I was watching it then I woke up. I fell asleep again and had a short DILD so it is all good :)

Congrats on the DILD! :) It sounds like the staying up, mantra and DEILD attempt probably all helped.

Thanks! Yeah I'm starting to remember to stay still after I wake up for the possible DEILD its difficult but I'm getting better at it and soon I am hoping to use that to my advantage and a night ago I had my 20th lucid I can't remember all the detials but I lost lucidity then regained it later on in the dream which was cool I also kept the dream stable by rubbing my hands together which I have never succesfully done before but eventually I couldn't stop it fading

Okay I remembered our deal fogelbise so time to get into this again! I did have a lucid dream 2 nights ago and one a week or so earlier and am starting to remember dreams vividly again so I am confident I will be back up to having moments of lucidity weekly!

Awesome! As long as you never let your practices go completely, you will find it easier to get back to it, I feel! Congrats on getting back to it! :)

Yeah that's what I have found recall is been great past few nights!

24th lucid last night! Also possible dream shared experience :O my girlfriend and I both had a dream last night that we were at a party together so that's interesting although we did go to a party the night before so the chance of that event leaking into our dreams is high I guess but still interesting...

Congrats!! My wife and I had similar dreams also after a party we both attended. There was an interesting plotline that didn't happen at the party but happened in both of our dreams in slightly different ways. It could have been explained by things that we both had on our minds and thus showed up in both of our dreams. I got lucid in that dream. Was it the party dream that you got lucid in? You could update your LD count if you want.

Thank you! And no they were separate dreams although in my lucid I did lose lucidity after a while so perhaps the party scene was in the same dream just later on when I lost lucidity? Interesting to hear a similar thing has happened to you dreams are so fascinating!

And I will update my count but I'm posting on my phone and it formats the site weird where I can't update my count lol but I will get around to doing it :)

Had another lucid recently although it shortly faded so that brings my count up to 25, I am going to work on getting my awareness and recall up to a decent level so after a week of solid practice I will continue my old routine which was giving me a pretty good rate of lucid dreams which was really focusing on my wbtbs and MILD practices, doing my day dream awareness and listening to Binuaral Beats when going to sleep but for now just RRC's sporadically and dream journaling for a good week. Want to get back to the stage I was at when I was having like 1-2 lucids every week and improve from there!

Congrats and that sounds like a good plan! During you RRC's, do you always remember to think back about 20 minutes or so?

bit late but I have had two lucids since last time, and im getting my motivation back. In my RRC I do try and remember what I was doing before I was questioning my reality, I like to think about what I am about to do next as well and ask my self why I am doing the things I am doing now and that seems to help. I need to start doing wbtbs again because that was the reason why my recall and lucid count were increasing rapidly haha I will have my first one in a long time tomorrow night :)

Edit: and over 200 lucid dreams fogelbise :O nice!

Thanks spd :) Yes, I am big believer in the power of a good wbtb. I like your new(er?) avatar!
