Your goals sound good The beach house seems particularly useful in many different ways Let me know if you haven't seen Sensei's persistent realms thread and I can find the link if you don't know where to find it. And the clouds idea can be very powerful for DILDs if you can find a good way to activate the connection between the non-IWL occurrence and a knowing that you're dreaming. I am not 100% sure how my "boldness" dream sign became so powerful, but I think it had to do with imagining boldness IWL and what I would do next if this IWL moment were a dream right now.

I see nothing wrong with working on WILD, but I recommend keeping your DILD practices going since they seem to be where most people get most of their lucid dreams. There are those who focus on WILDs, do well with them and find them easy.

Knowing you're in Sweden and reading "or my grandfather never met him, but he was a sailor" brought up fond memories of enjoying Pippi Longstocking as a kid…had to share that daydream you popped off in my mind, haha.

In Januari i had about 55 dreams, this month is going a bit slow @ 10 but the baby is teething, Anyway had a great dream last nice high awareness about a 'dream lover' i've been looking out for I'm starting to think he is some kind of dream guide really, he was going to marry me and then i realized i was already married so i was lucid for about one second b4 waking up.
I am starting to feel Viking blood now at the end of winter, would love to jump into a ship and sail away discovering/exploring :-) kind of boring staying in the same city all the time, nevermind will have to do it in my dreams :-)

started doing a 'bart simpson' style excercise b4 going to sleep writing the same affirmations done for 1 or 2 pages i think its going well had lots of high awareness anyway.
Hopefully i have more next week.

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND !

Very interesting about your potential dream guide and congratulations on getting lucid! Since you are still relatively new to this and you are working with a teething baby, I'd say you should feel proud that you got lucid for any length of time. It will get more consistent by keeping up your efforts and making any adjustments when necessary. What a blessing a baby is, so that's the real gift right now - enjoying those younger years - so beautiful (with challenges of course).

I have used a similar writing exercise and I agree it can be beneficial. There was a thread on that somewhere around here a few years back.

Have a nice weekend also!...and do try to celebrate even the little victories.

so last night i was trying to create a dream like a daydream but hopefully would turn into something, i was thinking about waterfalls and watery stuff, i drifted off too sleep and my dream was basically them same but not lucid, so that was cool

I will try to enjoy the kids more :-)

Nice incubation!

I bet you didn't know you came here for that kind of feedback, right? haha

good thing my goal was too stay positive this month, has been a challenge, but finally starting to find some good in a world of complex situations, I did pinpoint my biggest issues and did what i could to resolve them, will keep working on them. unfortunately my dreaming has been affected, having a hard time doing RCS when aggrevated. Oh well Sun is Shining will be doing much better next week, and this weekend.

Have a Nice weekend.

quick february check in, dream wise really quite bad memory , but the general goal of staying positive was really good, I've been quite annoyed with people all over the world talking trash about my beautiful city Malmö really breaks my heart really :-( But today i found this super cool project for our tiny little city With Massive entertainment, and making Avatar Video games, going to make lots of jobs and really its the first building when i come out my door, english parts at bottom if anyones interested in reading
Massive Entertainment - A Ubisoft Studio
https://www.8till5.se/2017-02-28/mil...i-spel-i-malmo
sorry if thats not really about being lucid but its definetly going to put me back in the right frame of mind,
also found this crazy link thats giving fantastic ideas for dreaming , very Avatar style :-) so in conclusion it pays too stay positive . will have to find a new mantra for next month .
Are These Giant Prehistoric Trees?

Yes it does pay to stay positive. I've struggled with that too lately with all that is going on. Your town sounds really neat. Maybe we will visit it some day.

Thanks Az,
Of course you are welcome to visit, if you like skatboarding we are hosting Vans Series EM and VM in May, again Skateboard-VM till Malmö igen - Sydsvenskan
Anyway sorry will try to stick to the Lucid Dreaming, This week i became officially Unemployed, but i did go on my first interview today big chance i will get it, i was looking forward to exploring my options but nevermind. Of course this means i have to seriously start doing RCs again, going to work is more hectic so maybe i will start some sort of alarm to remind me to check my reality, but really i think going back to work is really going to wake me up, feels like i've been sleeping for five years with super easy schedule.
Februari i had terrible dream recall probably due to stress but already had @ 4 vivid dreams this month so i'm getting back on track, had one cool dream about Keanu Reeves but actually we were trying to murder someone.
I haven't figured out a new mantra, I'm thinking about Cs Conciously courageously climbing cloudy coasts haha needs a bit of work.

HAve a nice weekend

Good luck on the job!...and a nice weekend to you too. I still like "Lucidly Loving Long Lasting Lucids!" Glad to hear recall is getting back on track.

Oh, and never worry about non-lucid dream material in your workbook. As long as I am overseeing the DILD workbooks, I don't mind the extra color and insight into various member's experiences. If it were super long and a lot to browse through, that might be something else, but even then it could be marked as such or put in a spoiler…but certainly not necessary for the brief non-lucid discussions so far.

I did like that one but it didn't have any direction in it, so i'm thinking
Conciously Catching Consequences Climbing Cloudy Constructions
it makes some sense to me, maybe not to anyone else haha
I did have a dream about Vampires last night, so that would be the 'nonrealistic' part i should have wonder why i felt the need to drink blood but ok, next time :-)

hej hej
have had 2 nearly lucids, 1st one i was in my hallway and decided to do a RC and i was lucid for about a second and then a FA, i was in my bed and baby was sitting on my head and it was difficult to breathe or move, and also it felt a bit sinister ,, wonder why that is it feels sort of evil, fear of the unknown maybe? nevermind don't usually have bad dreams no use on blowing it out of proportion.

Second dream was last night super fun dream, was in New Zealand on some kind of vacation, we were going to go river rafting on some huge wavy river, was in some kind of square and people were 'skate boarding' but there where no scate boards only water and you could do it with your shoes, so while i was doing that i was like, This is so futuristic it must be a dream, but then 'if it was a dream i wouldn't even care' :-( my sleeping brain has such a bad attitude. haha.
Anyway i feel its time for my first long lucid 2017 any night now tonight seems like a good night YAY

Those are very good signs! Have you ever been to New Zealand?

A long lucid weekend to you!

I forgot a very important C word Commitment, i have lots of great ideas but havn't really been commiting to them properly, for example the WILD with affirmations in the evening was going quite well, but then i sort of stopped so I will commit to starting that again, januari i wrote down exactly how many dreams i had each night, and also everything i ate, but februari and march got lazy, So i will start again. Conciously commiting to consequences :-)

No never been to New Zealand, and oddly i have had alot of dreams being there, actually looked it up and the book says for Foreign country,
Foreign Land
To dream that you are in a foreign land represents change in your life. Consider how you feel about the surrounding. If you are afraid or lost, then it indicates that you are not ready for the change. You are not willing to leave the past behind. If you are excited or happy in this unknown place, then it suggests that you are ready for change.

So thats pretty spot on i'm definetly excited about this new phase in my life actually found some super interesting course i'm going to apply to which is exciting.
BTW i did live in south Africa for 5 years with my mom when i was younger, but thats another story.

Commitment is tough. But powerful: especially about dreaming goals: taking affirmative steps helps your mind internalize that yes, dreaming really is important!

Thanks FM,
Great reminder, our dreams are super important.
While my lucid dreaming isn't coming so far i've definetly been working with my dreams in another ways, looking for clues and answers. In my real life i've worked in lots of different jobs but my education isn't so high, so now when the kids are little i think its a perfect time to fix my grades, but that leaves me with endless possibilities so i have been trying to find a the best path to continue on. Here's one weird dream i had.

I was working in a kitchen (like i've done before) but everybody was super calm, nobody really cared how long it would take and what they got, not like in a real restaurant where staff can be quite stressfull, so i was wondering what this dream could mean for a few days, and then I found a course for Stressstherapist with cognitive angle, including mindfullness, and importance of techniques like yoga, etc. So I'm applying now if i get approved by my kommun they will pay :-) so that's exciting. Alot of people i know have been super effected by stress recently, the class is a good place to start ...

March sum up my dream recall is doing quite good, don't really like counting how many dreams i've had each night because sometimes they're so long they could be 2 or 3. I do feel myself pausing in the middle of a dream sometimes b4 starting a new one, so i've had at least 31 dreams i've written most of them down, but i've been a bit lazy because they're not always so exciting so i remember them and then continue with something else. So for April my main goal is going to be focusing on what i should study in fall, so everynight i will be asking something like 'dreams show me what i should read' I will also try and get back to RCing more often, meditating and i have to get back to a proper workout schedule.

Sweet lucids, and have a nice weekend

That's a good problem to have - long dreams/recall.

Sweet lucids and a nice weekend to you as well!

So no real lucids last month, but a few where i realized i was dreaming, and then immediately woke up.
Anyway i finally decoded what my dreams have been saying about my future, actually been having similiar dreams for the last couple of years and just thought they were memories, but now i realize also my future,
so waiting for some confirmation, and then finally i can have a real destination and get back on the highway.

So i figured out what i have been scared off, for the last few years every now and again i dream about an old house we used to live in and in the dream its haunted or has evil spirits inside.
So last night i dreamt again of this house the property was ours, and this time we took a big bulldozer and knocked it down, it was sort of underground and i wanted to light it on fire, but there was already a new house on top of it, anyway next dream we were moving in to new house, so i think i made some kind of breakthrough actually, also were some semi lucid bits, fell asleep in the dream and dreamt about a monastery, hmm maybe something to do with previous goal, or probably i need to get back on track to what i was supposed to be doing .

This is good to hear oneironautics! Let me know if you need any advice or tips.

so I found the perfekt course for autumn, actually cleared up alot of dreams i have wondered about for the last few years. But in order to start i have to read a quick course for summer, and also do a test to test my mathimatical and logical abilities, So my dreams have been all about what i have been dreaming about that day, and of course the kids have gone into summer mode and wake up around 5,6 am ...

QUESTION: How could i best use a lucid dream /dream to process new information, and of course past test. ?? also how could i use a dream to think logically, instead of emotionally?

My mantra for now will be I AM M.I.L.L.D (mathamatical, inteligent, logical, lucid, dreamer) , and i have to work on my ability to think logically, and maybe will help remind me of other mild.

I read Frying mans post about nose pinching, and i haven't really tried that RC , so now my RC's will only be nose pinching

In other News sun is shinging even in sweden .
have a nice weekend.

On the first question it seems the most effective way to use sleep for learning is getting a good night's sleep after learning something new. I've read a number of articles quoting studies making this connection. This is one I found:
Sleep promotes branch-specific formation of dendritic spines after learning | Science

Lucid dreaming could definitely be used for the 2nd question. While lucid you could put yourself in a similar situation to the kinds that you want to have more logical control over in order the practice replacing emotional responses with more logical ones. Visualizing this during the day should help with both doing better in waking and dreaming situations I would bet.
