Prospective:
1. Sleep 2300Sun to 0530Mon, 0545Mon to 0700Mon.
2. During WBTB
- jot down previous dreams
- go to bathroom
- read over 07/23/10 dream
- read over top 3 lucid goals
a) transition (teleport) successfully
b) open a portal to Hell, in a Walmart
c) raze planet
3. Relaxation techniques
- allowing myself to lose focus, drifting into HH.
4. Transition
- remain consciously aware of HH & SP.
5. Upon stabilizing, focus on top 3 dream goals.
Actual:
1. Attempted sleep from 2300Sun to 0000Mon. Slept from 0430 to 1230, waking up briefly at 0700.
2. 0430, I daydream as usual. After a while, my thoughts start drifting. I keep track of the tangents that seem dreamlike rather than something I invent. I let go of the fantasy that I was spinning, and start to observe the random threads. They start to get more vivid. End recall.
Approx 0700, woken up by other people moving around the house. Grabbed earplugs and attempted DILD. No recall, fell asleep immediately.
Waking up and falling asleep again, unknown time. My eyes are closed, and I realize that I'm experiencing HH. I flex my fingers to test for SP, but they move. I pinch my nose to make sure that I'm not dreaming. I'm awake. I drift off again.
Effectiveness: Recognize the need for getting out of bed and waking up properly.
3. Relaxation technique: daydreaming until I start to feel sleepy. Keep track of HH that aren't consciously thought up. Lose consciousness at this point.
Effectiveness: Seems to work fairly well up to HH, which is the point. Need to experiment more with this technique, preferably after a solid 6 hours of sleep, or during a nap.
4. Becoming aware of HH, which seem to be easily distinguishable from daydreams, characterized by thoughts drifting without conscious effort. Need to become more aware after having recognized HH.
5. No success with direct entry into dream. I did, however, enter into a dream at one point, where it felt like I was in bed. Someone else was crawling into bed with me, and I realized that I wasn't in my bedroom, and that I was probably dreaming. I was too sleepy to be properly lucid, though.
