This sounds good, especially in a paper calendar. If you remember to, let us know what you discover from keeping records in this way. Some people do it in their dream journal but I have been on an electronic one for quite a while now.

Januari's mantra, Lucidly liking long lasting Lucids.

Love it!

So read a super cool idea by Brian authour of The Wild Way, I know his book is more controversy, but i'm loving this idea He says you should try to wild in the evening, which is perfect for me because its the only time i know 100 % the kids are sleeping, according to Brian you should be seeing results after a few weeks already, but i am willing to try all year because i'm not having alot of success with wbtb. So I'm super excited I tried last night i tried but fell asleep so quickly, i did have some higher awareness dreams, I'll update some results after one or two weeks.

So far Januari dreaming has been a bit restless, short dream blurry dreams and waking up @ 2x a night usually in the middle of an exciting dream and have to jump out of bed so quickly it slips away...
Anyway tomorrow kids are going back to preschool, so maybe i will get a few minutes to do some exercises , YAY

wild in the evening is interesting, at least i am getting some practice, since i was a kid i 'programmed' myself to fall asleep super quickly, so a lot of nights even if i go to sleep 15 min early it will take about 1-5 min till i'm sleeping, also i do a weird thing with my foot sort of move it around in circles also something i started when i was a kid so experimenting if it puts me too sleep or keeps me awake. Anyway seen a bit of HH but mostly heard voices b4 dozing of , I 'm making a little progress, and a few follow up dreams had high awareness, so i will keep at it.

It sounds like you are learning about navigating into the sleep process and also raising your awareness. I thought about giving some of the traditional input but this is a non-traditional method outlined in the book it sounds like. As long as you are enjoying it and learning, I see nothing wrong with experimenting. Good luck

I try to stay positive and think about possibilties, it hasn't been proven impossible right,
So last night was @ night 12 of trying to wild in evening, and HH which had previously only been colours and lines turned into real images and places, was a dragon and then a wooden floor with tables a ship i think, so i am making some progress.

just for fun
Last job i had went bankrupt back in 2012, so now the company that bought them is called DREAMWORK haha, might be why i am working so hard with my dreams, miss my job and colleagues .

also i saw the wmu is hiring (from previous post) the post is faculty assistent something in my general field but i'm not really qualified, i think i should apply anyway just for fun, although that means i have to write a new cv in english, if i get a interview i will say i had a dream about you haha. At least i am getting an idea what i want to be doing.

for a few months i was having lots of dreams, was pregnant went to doctor checkups, friends were preg etc, the other night finally a baby boy was born was a bit bloody and complicated but ok guess i am ready for a new idea :-)

Thats definitely progress, congrats!

Interesting with the pregnancy and birthing dreams! Does sound like you are ready for a new idea

Good luck with the job prospects!

New Year goal will be to learn how to WILD
and have at least 50 lucid dreams at least 25 long ones

not so much progress this month, haven't had first lucid of the year, but my dreams have been super long and detailed, still excited about learning to wild so will stick with that .

While you are experimenting with that 'outside the box' method, I would recommend mixing in a WILD attempt after WBTB after ~4.5 hours of sleep, maybe once a week or when motivated to.

Take time to savor those long and detailed regular dreams along the way to you next lucid.

Thanks Fb
I am practicing everytime i have a wbtb which is often cus the kids get up alot :-)

Januari was ok with lots of long dreams, Wild is going good, came as far as looking into the dream but didn't really get sucked in, but everynight images are getting alot clearer alot faster which is great.
Anyway feeling the need to be more Positive so Februaris Mantra will be
Patiently Processing Puzzling Positives

The traditional advice is to be patient and passive in any observation of the images, but if you are getting a good dream scene you may want to try the more advanced option of engaging…engaging different senses that match with the scene. For example, if it is a winter scene (or could be taken as one) you imagine the coldness and perhaps other sounds like the crunch of snow under your feet (and feeling of)…or imagine your hand is extending and touching items in the scene which can help your hand and dream body form and put you more fully into the dream.

Please do stay positive…you are a joy to have around the forums!

Good job with the WILD progress. Sounds like you are getting close.

Thanks Aze,
11 months left so i'm not worried :-) , I definetly feel like i need some new goals though, some place to visit or person to talk too. guess i will have to come up with somthing.
Kids have started waking up at 5,6 every morning so not so much progress with dreaming, feeling very positive though lots of IRL stuff is working out finally so i can stop worrying about them, +soon summer is coming YAY
thanks for the advice fb, i will try next time, and tell you how it goes.

i did find this fun article, maybe Peter PAn was a WILD experience ?
At least it was talking about memory and when you sleep your short term memories turn into long turn memories, so it's not surprising when parents say their kids childhood went by so quickly, Its probably cus they didn't get any sleep and can't remember HAHA

I definitely value being able to talk to people in person about lucid dreaming. You have the forums here and maybe you can Skype with someone here as well. I would be open to it on occasion. I don't have many good times when I could Skype but in about 2 hours from now would actually work if you are interested to…I would actually have to download Skype though.

...feeling very positive though lots of IRL stuff is working out finally so i can stop worrying about them, +soon summer is coming YAY

That is great to hear that things are coming together for you IRL! On summer coming...I had a Swedish girlfriend who would talk about the explosion of life that happens in the Spring in Sweden after the cold winters…it always sounded so wonderful. I don't get much of a swing between the seasons.

Awesome article - thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the offer FB so sweet, although i was thinking i needed new Dream goals, how about i call you next time i get lucid :-)
