Thread: Spock's lucid journey

I decided to start this thread to help me keep track of my overall practice of LDing. Will be posting here updates about my "lucid journey" hopefully monthly. Since this is the first post - I sum up everything up to this point.

Natural rate: about 1 short LD per two months.

During teenage practice: on average ~10 mid length lucids per month (plus many short / very short ones) - my current "goal".

During winter 2014-2015 practice: on average ~3 lucids per month (including short ones)

Current practice (started dec 2015):
(the duration, in minutes, refers to the estimated lucid part of a dream)
(HH, HI, etc, aren't considered lucid dreams)


Dec 2015 -

1 DILDs - 1 short: biting dream [lost lucidity and woke up, ~8]

2 WILDs - 2 very short: [1 lost lucidity, <1]; [1 woke up, <1]


Jan 2016 -

8 DILDs -

3 very short: while driving [lost lucidity, <5]; plants from snails #2 [woke up, <1]; in dad's car back from cacti reserve [woke up, <1] |
4 medium: back'n'forth fireball dream [nested, ended in waking up, ~15]; posthumanism dream [very low level, ended in waking up, ~10]; "shared dream" w/ cooleymd [dream -> void -> new dream -> woke up, ~15]; "shared dream" w/ auburn DV woman [ended in falsely waking up, ~15] |
1 long: port dream [ended in waking up, ~25]

3 WILDs -

2 very short: [1 lost lucidity, <1]; [1 woke up, <1] |
1 medium: sexual dream [ended in waking up, ~15]


Conclusion -

Fairly close to my current "goal" in amount of mid length or longer LDs (6 vs 10). Need to stay consistent. Also, need to focus on FAs - in Jan 2016 occur on average once per night (up to 3-4 times per night). Also, recall is good - in Jan 2016 an average of 4 dreams per night, most of them vivid and detailed, up to 8 per night + fragments. Dream recall mostly negatively effected by going too late to bed - decreasing the vividness and detail but usually not the amount of dreams recalled.
