Well I've been slacking off lately. Both in journaling as well as in practice. My daily life has been crazy, so I've been altering my practice to be sustainable during this period. |

Not much time today to write down report. I'll try to edit with the full report tonight or tomorrow. |

CAN-WILD or Alarm DEILD is a great technique if you can get back to sleep in seconds after an alarm. |

Definitely. It doesn't always work, but when it does it's quick and easy. And when it doesn't, it gives you a chance to renew your intentions. I'm sure your halovision setup will be good for CAN-WILD! |

Congratulations on a nice, lengthy LD Broth! Yes, you've got your can-wild alarm set up nicely for you. For anyone else reading this, the trick to making it easier to notice the alarm and drift back to sleep can have to do with things like auto-dismiss or auto-snooze, as well as the sound-type of the alarm and volume (nothing too jarring or alarming - haha). I know options like that are available through the free android app Alarm Clock Xtreme and must be available on a similar iPhone app. |

Thanks Fogelbise. I had another lucid dream last night, also a CAN-WILD. T was in the bedroom when I entered the dream so it was a sex dream. Needless to say I won't be journaling that one here. Sorry guys. But I can say that I was able to maintain lucidity throughout the entire experience which was good. Hopefully I don't waste the next lucid completely on sex. |

Congratulations on the enjoyable LD! I still pursue those kinds of dreams and see nothing wrong with it…though maybe I pursue them a little less than before. You can have so many different experiences that I can't give them up entirely! |

I do use the gradually increasing volume, reaching full volume at the 5 second mark (which is the shortest period of volume crescendo offered by this app). I use a relatively "jarring" ringtone right now, which is a series of short beeping sounds. |
|
I actually missed the "5 seconds to peak volume" option - didn't scroll down far enough and mine was at what must be the default of 60 seconds. Thank you for pointing that out. Most of my LDs come from SSILD or MILD after WBTB and usually 1-2 hours before waking, but I have experimented with this DEILD alarm method off and on and I plan to set one alarm on auto-dismiss daily for a 2nd chance for an LD closer to my waking time. |

I think that's a great idea. Definitely can't hurt. |

Hi Broth, it's great to see that you are back at it and that you're keeping good notes! Are you thinking about doing any WBTBs (via natural awakenings) on your days off? I guess it would only work if your partner got up earlier or you were able to get up quietly/slowly enough to not wake your partner. |

Hey fogelbise! Thanks for responding, it's great to hear from you again as well. How has your practice been going? I'm on a business trip at the moment so I have a hotel room to myself. But I'm planning on doing micro-wbtb via natural awakenings when I'm back home, but not getting out of bed. I just want to become aware of the natural awakenings, then go right into a MILD/SSILD induction. Hopefully once the Gravity RC starts working I won't have to worry about waking my girlfriend up anymore! |

I was on a business trip the rest of last week, drinking every night with a somewhat erratic sleep schedule (I blame my co-workers). Needless to my practice changed a little during this time. I continued my dream journal and remembered a decent amount of NLDs but I was not as consistent on inductions. I also continued the Gravity RC. |

I seem to have weeks between visits lately but I see you had some nice successes there! Congratulations! If you have any questions, feel free to leave them and I will get back to you eventually. |

Thanks Fogelbise! I haven't been updating my journal on a regular basis so I'll give a quick update on my progress since the last entry. |

It's definitely a journey...each person seems to need quite different paths to get good at this and it sounds like you are well on your way to finding your path. Keep it up |

Getting enough quality sleep and having a regular sleep schedule are both very important to improving the quality of dreams and to having lucid dreams. I myself am terrible about maintaining an early, regular bed time. One month in my first year of practice, I decided to dedicate myself to going to bed at the same, relatively early time, every night, something like 10pm. Within a couple weeks I was starting to have regular, long, epic dreams, and I think I had at least a couple LDs in there as well. |
