It is a very good to establish a regular day-work regimen as you've voiced a desire to do. Meditation is one thing that is great, but finding those 10-20 minutes to set aside sometimes can be hard in a hectic schedule (and noisy environment). |

Ok then, the last week was horrible dream wise. As expected I had a lot of things to do and worry about. Though now I am looking at 2 relax weeks followed by 2 weeks of vacation. Time to really get back into the saddle! |

Awesome! Congratulations on getting back to lucidity!! I also use memory tools like your RRESI™ to help me remember to do all of my day practices and also using that memory tool during the dream is a great way to go about it. The two most effective ways that I have found to remember what to do in my next lucid is practicing it during the day (what if this were a lucid right now!?) and also going through at least the thought process (if not actually practicing) just before sleeping and during any awakenings or WBTB's. |

Great, vivid dreams are a great sign, and a lot of fun! I know that feeling of having dream right there "on the tip of your tongue" but you can't quite pin it down. I had one like that last night in fact. But I had a nice/bizarre/interesting short vivid dream with good recall so that made up for it, and a short lucid later on. |

The voice to text seems fairly good on android devices and I imagine also on iPhone too. I do have to speak clearly and deliberately and it works best when I hold the phone microphone away from my mouth where I can also see what is being automatically typed. I do have to make some corrections but if I click on a word it gives me other guesses as to what I may have said instead of the original interpretation. |

Thanks for the advice so far guys! Really appreciate it! I've thought it over a bit, and it's feels pretty weird to record my dreams out loud with my brother only a small wall away from me But I intend to move out within the next year, so I will definately try the speech to text later on. |

Sounds like great progress! And I'd certainly count that as a lucid with low awareness, basically a lucid just means you know you're dreaming. It definitely was a dream. Great work, and keep it up! |

I agree, that sounds like an LD to me. I feel that congratulations are in order! Very nice progress indeed! |

Thanks for the kind words |

No worries, there are ups and downs, and sometimes we just need a good night of sleep! |

Ok, so I'm finally past the week. I got totally stressed and honestly a little depressed, but I somehow pulled myself through! Now it's finally 2 week vacation! |

Congrats on holding on to that LD! That seems to be one key to extending LD's...KNOWING that the fade does not mean that the dream has to be over! Very nice! |

Wonderful, MrPriority, you made it through the badness. Stress and poor sleep (I'm going through a phase of a bit of both right now, sigh) are both major LD inhibitors. So keep those thoughts happy and light, and do what you need to in order to sleep well. Those taken together with proper day and night work result in lucidity! |

Thanks for the lengthy response! I really like your idea of having fun in a dream. That is most definately very important! A little while ago I was talking with Threecat about the TOTM(december) and he said he would try and just walk untill he found snow. I think that is kinda in the same boat as having fun. Instead of trying to fight the dream to get what you want, you just go along with it. Have fun, and let the dream guide you to where you wanted to go. Also what pops into my mind is something I think I read from Sensei somewhere here on the forum: "Be an actor of you own dreams". I can imagine it will be harder to attain lucidity while doing that, though. Since you get more involved as well. But yeah, it's an attitude I have since also tried to adopt. I hope this is similar to what you mean? |

Rushing is common in the beginning, although by 22 LDs you may want to make it more of a solid goal to slow down. |

Best of luck! Just remember, in a year or two or 5 from now, do you want to be in place where your abilities reflect having spent all that time honing your skills? That's what keeps me going, I don't want to waste any time not doing my best to improve. Dreaming is so awesome, I only want to keep getting better and better at it. Caveman cutting an LD short is a drag (been there, oh, I don't know, around 100 times?! haha), but that can generally be countered with reviewing goals ahead of time. I actually avoided girls in a few LDs by choice (just a few though!). It's useful to have concrete goals that you review frequently so that they're easily available in memory. |
