Are you still napping a lot? Any changes in your practices? If not, it could just be normal ups and downs on the overall trajectory up.

Are you still napping a lot? Any changes in your practices? If not, it could just be normal ups and downs on the overall trajectory up.
I played around with napping because of a 2 week break. I'm back in school now, which makes it harder to try and nap.
I haven't been dream journaling as much as I should have - though, recall is still very high. I need to get back on top of it.
Some dream fragments - recall still very good.
Had a WILD last night - starting to understand what I need to do in order for it to work.
Another two nights, another DILD and 30-minute WILD.
Very, very nice!! 30 minute WILD, you seem to be taking to this very well! :)
The well was dry last night - can't even remember any normal dreams.
Had several extremely violent nonlucids - felt a bit odd, things normally aren't that crazy.
nice work! i have a question, how long have you practiced to still your mind in order to have WILD properly?Quote:

Though, I do admit, I don't realize it's working until I feel the 'waves', and then it's like 'oh shit I just successfully WILDed'.
Do be warned, though - WILD tend to cause false awakenings, so do a reality check after 'waking up'.
thanks!:) now i understand why i fail while attempting WILD! because I've always tried to keep myself fully awake (which caused me day dreaming) instead of what you do (trying to fall sleep). also I've imagined a cube as an anchor and this image was interrupted by hypnogogic images which made me unable to pursue my beautiful cube!:(
That cube shall be yours.
A few nonlucids last night.
A very weird DILD.
I always find it weird whenever I see Dream Views in a dream.
My dreams of DV have been non-lucid and not a real good copy of the site. Was yours very accurate? It sounded like you saw DV within the DILD, correct?Quote:

For a DILD workbook, I've done quite a few WILDs. Had one last night.
I'm quite proficient at summoning characters. Dream control is also improving.
Had a semilucid last night - felt really weird, for I hadn't had the 'aha' moment to incur a DILD, yet something felt off throughout the dream. I was aware, yet not.
^^This seems promising. Perhaps any awareness work you may be doing was bleeding into the dream.
More semilucids. I can feel myself making my body do things, yet I do not realize I'm in a dream.
Nonlucids and fragments last night.
Some nonlucids.
I think stress is affecting my LD attempts.
20 lucids in your first two months! When the stress drops you'll be right back at it! :)Quote:

More nonlucids.
After five days of dryness, I have two DILDs in one night. I found my dream guide, too.
Awesome! Believe it or not, you are moving at light speed!Quote:
