Thread: spd's workbook

Hello! I am spd, 17 from Australia

I first heard about lucid dreaming from a picture a facebook page posted. It was about the WILD method. I was curios about LDing but for some odd reason I was freaked out to try it, idk something about being aware that you are dreaming creaped me out. On the 9th of september I had an unintentional DILD. I had woken up in the middle of the night and was looking up lucid dreaming I fell asleep around 2 hours later. Waking up at night and having my last thoughts about lucid dreaming must of acted like a wbtb. After my LD I realised there is nothing to be afraid of and they are actually really fun. Since then I found DV, lurked for a bit looking at tutorials, etc. I have had 3 very unstable approx 1 minute DILDS since then I guess I get to excited! Haha. I stopped trying to LD for a few weeks but got back into it for the last 2 weeks.

I have been practicing MIlD for the last two weeks and while I havn't had another LD yet I feel like I am getting better. I have had two dreams in this 2 week peroid involving lucid dreaming (e.g people talking to me about LDing)
but my awareness is not fully there yet.I like to go to sleep at 10:00-11:00 and recently I have set an alarm for 3:30-4:30 for wbtb. Often times I will repeat my mantra but I will be to tired to do the visualization properly and will fall asleep before I get a chance to do it! Also same thing goes for my wbtbs since I usually just stay in bed after my alarm goes off but yesterday I stayed up for 40 mins after my wbtb reading my dream journal and dv threads. This time I was able to do my visualization properly :O

Oh and I also do the prospective memory excercise where I pick 3 objects and question reality+rc when I see them although I'm not very good at it yet xD.

I am excited about learning how to DILD and MILD more succesfully and to fit into the dv community!

Edit: Oh also I forgot to mention I can remember on average one dream a night, not all the details of the dream but I understand the plot. Sometimes I can remember minor details of up to three dreams. Also by doing my dream journal I have noticed that many dreams I have are either in school or in shopping centres (roughly 25% combined) so I am trying to remember to preform an RC when I go to these places or I am going to recess/lunch at school although I don't often remember. Also my go-to RC is the finger through the hand one although I was reading around and it seems I should practice more so I have started doing the nose plug and levitating today. Also If I want to get skilled at MILD should I join the Dream Yoga class as well?
