September 23rd - Dream Journals - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource

I felt stressed a lot today but I tried to remain calm and was decently relaxed by the time I laid down. I got off dreamviews, got a glass of water, and then laid down. I spent the next little bit trying to relax as much as possible, then started repeating "I lucid dream." to myself several times. Thoughts kept creeping in (Life sucks right now, honestly) but I kept forcing them out and trying to focus on my mantra. I fell asleep trying to feel excited about accomplishing my first lucid dream.

Felt pretty good for most of the day. Classes were easy for the most part, I'd done all my work, and I thought I did very well on a huge test. Went to sleep almost immediately due to exhaustion, but tried to repeat my mantra. I think I managed it twice before I was out.

Good. Keeping up the mantra is important, even if it is for a brief Well done!

Exciting day. Mental preparation for a football game, played well during, and the bus-ride home after winning. The ride was over 2 hours and I didn't get to sleep any, so I was really tired when I got home. Said my mantra until I fell asleep, which took about 30 seconds.

Fun day. Helped babysit for awhile, did 3 hours of volunteer work with friends (somehow nothing got done) and then spent some time with my girlfriend. Took the normal amount of time to fall asleep, I think. Repeated my mantra as usual and tried to think about the excitement of a successful lucid dream and fell asleep.

Day started out bland but got better as it went along. Stress free for the most part. Repeated mantra as usual before falling asleep.

Day was boring but fun. Spent a lot of time working. Went to bed a little early, repeating my mantra as usual. My dream suggests that on some level I knew I was dreaming, which is definitely an improvement!

No dream last night. A couple of stressful days here, which have also ended with me being up later than usual. I tried laying in bed for awhile to remember something, anything, but nothing came back.

Same as last post, sadly. Hoping things will be better with the weekend.

Very sorry to have neglected this recently, but things came up very fast at school. I had many ongoing projects and, as I said in the chat, I hadn't gotten 4 hours of sleep in days until last night, when I crashed and slept a good 13 hours. I'll begin posting as normal again tomorrow.

No dreams from sleeping regularly or the WBTB. I didn't incubate the dream as very much so I'll be trying to do that more from now on.

Let me know how is it going? Do you mediate?
