A dream I couldn't stop smiling about:
I dreamed that an amazing video game just went out, and so I texted a friend about it. I woke up and texted him back: never mind, it was just a dream. Then I woke up for real!
Anyway, I was reading Sageous stuff, and while going through the 'The WILD According to Sageous Q&A' posts I had a revelation: I was doing the RRC all wrong! During my practice, which lasted maybe a few weeks, I was spending some time thinking it all out etc, when I should have been looking for the sense of 'wonder' at my interactions, and my RRC should have been much shorter. Sageous also suggested to do the RRC after a normal RC, and this makes a lot of sense, because in waking life, the RRC grounds you in reality, while in a dream, the RRC is perfect for increasing lucidity (after it was confirmed by an RC), because you understand that everything is YOU, and it probably helps a lot with dream control too.
I'll do this then! RC + RRC at least once every hour. Also, I need to stop only reading the original post of every thread, and skim the rest of the posts of the thread, as the OP often says really important stuff he missed in his first post. This is what caused me to misunderstand a really good technique.
Other things to note:
Dream recall is good.
MILDed a few times, although I haven't WBTBed much because of a ten-hour jet lag.
