Friday 15th of October
Thoughts during the day: A bit more about Lucid Dreaming than the last week.
5 minutes before bed: Reading
5 minutes after bed: Sleep! Was really tired and fell asleep.
Aimed for alot of sleep last night, got 11 hours and alot of fragments but nothing near lucidity. I also tried focusing on the desert after I woke up at 10.00 this morning. Will try to incubate atleast 2-3 times today.
Saturday 16th of October
Thoughts during the day: More about lucid dreaming, but also about my economy. Have spent too much these last two weeks.
5 minutes before bed: Reading
5 minutes after bed: Reading Fantasy if you want to know what I am reading haha.
12 hours of sleep and very interesting dreams. I incubated the desert three times. Meditated some in the shower and thought about lucid dreaming every time I woke up during the morning. I tried to incubate a dream in my dream (I didn't realise I was already in one) and I was more lucid than I usually am. Which I see as good progress. Still no desert though...
Sunday 17th of October
Thoughts during the day: Lucid dreaming and a bit about work, will start working more and my future is still inpredictable.
5 minutes before bed: Reading
5 minutes after bed: Reading
Became dizzy after meditating in the shower last night. I am still pretty dizzy and it feels as if I'm drunk. I didn't sleep very well and I feel a bit exhausted. I don't know but perhaps I'm getting sick. Hopefully not!
Monday 18th of October
Thoughts during the day: Lucid dreaming, and I didn't feel too good, so bad thoughts...
5 minutes before bed: Reading
5 minutes after bed: Reading
Next day.
I will write down what I did during the next day, cuz then I remember it more clearly.
Meditated for some time on the way home on the train. Also realitychecked alot more often. Will meditate every day on the way home for atleast 10 minutes. Focusing on my breathing for 5-10, then incubation. I actually have a permanent picture of how my desert looks like. Check it out:

I have the fountain there for making it more realistic when I'm incubating it in the shower. The water helps me get a clearer picture and I imagine sitting under it. I usually walk around and feel the sand and I use to touch the cactus. This helps me to keep the whole image clear.
Tuesday 19th of October
Thoughts during the day: Lucid dreaming crept in many times during the day while I was working.
5 minutes before bed: Meditating
5 minutes after bed: Meditating for 20 minutes total.
Next day
Thought alot about lucid dreaming today. I realitychecked like 20 times. I also just stood there, looking at the sky, getting a feel for how it feels to be awake. Meditated 15 minutes on the train home, felt great afterwards! Used white/black breathing, then if any bad thought or feeling came up, I put it in the chest, then I induced the desert. Will indude the desert in the shower later tonight and even try to meditate 20 more minutes!
Haven't recalled much in two days, just a few fragments. But tomorrow I will get to sleep 1½ extra. Which will be a great opportunity to dream!
Sorry I can't attend class tonight, will read the script tomorrow asap tho.

Next day
Got a lucid this morning, and I even had a dream about my girlfriend's sister. We talked for over an hour about her before bed. Which is a good sign! That means that if I try hard and focus on the desert, and really print it into my head, it will pop up!

Happy! This was the greatest day in weeks. I had so fun at work, and I feel happier than I've felt in a long time. My gf has gone away for the weekend, and I'm going to try Calea out.

It's monday evening, and I've had a nice day. Cool dreams last night, but work is still very unpredictable. This is my last rehab week. And I'm not sure I can continue working. We will see this friday. If I can, then so be it. If I can't, I will focus so much on dreaming! CAT and try DEILD/WILD out more. REM-Rebound and try different supplements. Meditate atleast 3 times a day. Might do a schedule with goals aswell. Did one back in the days but threw it away.

Have meditated in the shower a few nights in a row, and did so tonight aswell. Have spoken alot lately to the new member CyperAleksi about dreaming.

But I've had alot of dreams a few nights in a row. Awesome!
