Lucid Dreaming Calendars

So, as summer vacation nears, I'm ramping up my lucid dreaming practices. One of things I have read about recently is using a calendar on the wall next to your bed to chart your lucid progress (from Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self by Robert Waggoner). You can mark the days you successfully become lucid, and even pre-lucid events. The idea is to build motivation and positive energy as you see your progress. Taking this a bit further, I'm going to use a calendar that evokes the feelings of mystery and awe that dreams so often inspire.

So this thread is for posting pictures of your lucid dreaming calendar, and/or discussing the idea of using a lucid dreaming calendar.

Here's the one I just got. If you find any other cool ones, please share!

OH! Sounds great.
If I had to choose an image in specific for a month, I would surely use this one for november.

Nice idea. I haven’t tried this but have always noted down my progress at the end of each month in my journal and it really does help with motivation and positivity.

Just curious - why November?

Yeah, I've been doing this since way back. I find it helps, like having a chart of progress and motivation. It's the only reason I buy calendars now. Well, I like the photos too... :)

What I do is when it's a night with no lucid I just put a slash across the day to cross off the day. If I got lucid that night I circle the number of the day of the month. Then next to the circled date I write a little number that tells me the number of officially counted lucids I've had up to that date, for that year. For example: If I have my first lucid of the year on January 4th. I will circle the 4 on the calendar and write the number 1 next to it to let me know that I had my first (officially counted ) lucid of the year on the fourth of January.

Right now I just have a basic cheap calendar with mountain scenery. Up until this year, every year I was getting a new "Walking Dead" themed calendar. Because I have a thing for anything zombie apocalypse, and zombies are also a dreaming thing... But I've been in penny pinching mode and really didn't feel like spending ten bucks on a calendar this year, so just got a cheapy with pretty mountain scenery theme. (I like mountains and mountains are a dream thing too as dream scenery is unrivaled.)

Cool. Glad to hear it's working for you. I am also recording the # of dreams recalled (plus .5 for partials) to motivate building up my dream recall. So fun.
