Now I want to make sure that ADA and ADSA and RC and meditation for self awareness are good and enough to start the increase of self-awareness and to if there is anything I can add to them. Any Ideas? |

I fill my heart with fire, with passion, passion for what makes me nostalgic. A unique perspective fuels my fire, makes me discover new passions, more nostalgia. I love it.

Sorry for late reply...super busy away from DV. But yes you seem to be on the right track with self awareness! Have you seen: |

Thank you!! |

Your welcome. If you get in the habit of tracking what you are trying in here (or anywhere) it can be very helpful in case you get off track at any point. |

I am starting to use ADSA(RRC) and I will also start WILDing. |

Nice work LouaiB! 5 minutes is significant this early in your practices! Your mantra reminds me of Laberge's exercise early in his ETWOLD book. It starts by recognizing the different senses that you are experiencing in your interaction with your immediate surroundings and then reflecting on the point that "I am he who is aware." It kind of re-centers your point of focus in a bit of an "aha" way. It is very hard to explain though, but it sounds like you are on your way to understanding it. |
|
I am considering removing ADA with only awareness of dream like stuff while RC, because I rather have ADSA instead of ADA, because I aid what Sageous says. Also increase my memory. What do you think? |

Go with your gut feeling. It sounds good to me...especially if you are following Sageous' recommendations! I think his model for self awareness is perfect for lucid dreaming! |

I am working on getting used to napping in the afternoon. I am starting to succeed!! |

I know that if I desire a LD more, I will get it soon, but I am deliberately trying to not over do it since it usually backfires on me(causes frustration), even though I know it will help if I manage not to make it backfire. So, I am currently training my self-awareness, prospective memory and doing slight MILD, but mainly WILD. I am waiting until my self-awareness becomes a little better, then I would throw in the big guns, but for now, I must satisfy myself with the DILDs I get, and potential WILD. |

You just have to find the right amount of pre-bed water and WBTB water so that you don't wake up too early or too late. I have got it down to where I wake up every 90 to 120 minutes at what seems to be the end of my REM cycles although sometimes I go through 2 cycles before waking up/getting up but sometimes remember the previous micro-awakening and recall dreams from that earlier cycle when not getting up for 2 cycles. I was thinking that each person's cycles were consistent each night but mine do seem to vary and perhaps this is some REM rebound happening at times, so indeed some nights I wake up ~120 minutes later and other nights ~90 minutes later. This variance leaves me unsure if I am usually at the end of REM but my instinct is that I usually am. |

I'm not giving up to! Since I had my 2nd LD I feel more motivated! |

Lucid dreams make your dreams come true!!
Wait. Don't we get the urge to pee after the REM cycle ends? Or it doesn't matter? It might wake us up on the midle of REM? |

Very nice LouaiB! Do you feel like your self-awareness is coming to you more naturally now and that is why you don't seem to need to put as much into it? It is definitely true that trying to hard can interfere with LDing, but most people find if they stop the daytime practices for too long that they eventually stop paying attention to dreams and also stop having LDs. Perhaps you have made a significant lifestyle change? |
|
Yeah I do feel it's more naturally coming now. |
