Thread: Pornocrates's Workbook

Hi Pornocrates, and welcome back! We all encounter life circumstances sometimes that cause us to rebalance our goals and efforts. Best of luck to you on your journey!

For insomnia (something I suffer from in the LD middle-of-the-night practices), I recommend looking in to best "sleep hygiene" practices, and studying different relaxation techniques. I was able to make significant improvements to my ability to fall back asleep when I studiously worked on releasing mental and physical tension, and stopped "trying to fall asleep" but just emphasized total relaxation and being completely content with whatever happens. Our bodies and minds know how to fall asleep -- we just need to get out of the way!

Thanks for you message FryingMan !
I'm working on these things, but I'm trying to make my life a happy one before anything else. Lucid Dreaming was a form of escapism for a long time, now I want it to be part of my growing process !

I had a lucid dream last night, a really vivid one too. It doesn't make much sense that I had one this particular night, I went to bed around 4 AM and woke up a 11 and it happened during the 4 first hours !
No induction technique, no day review, no affirmation whatsoever...
And yet, I felt really conscious. I wandered but didn't really know what to do. I thought I would wake up right away but I was really calm and I did a nose RC, so I just walked and wondered why it was so stable !

Congrats! Lucid dreams do pop up out of the blue sometimes. The point of practice is to make them much more frequent and reliable.

It's very good to use dreaming for positive purposes . It's quite OK to just have fun, but it's also valuable to do more meaningful practices, like dream yoga for example.
