Thread: CAT - My journey (started 8th apr. 2014)

UPDATE

Yesterday it was my 7.00am wake-up-day. Again, I had a small glimpse of awareness, but I was trapped on the flow of the dream. I woke up at around 4.00am, noted some dreams, then again at 6.00am, and after this, it came this dream.

I was some kind of special agent, or spy (I remember reading something about Illuminati), and a girl was my partner. We were about to ride on a luxury black Mercedes. I went out to the front and took a big screw out from the hood. I was trying to put it back but I couldn't, so I just "used my dream control" and though: "this is my dream and I will insert it correctly if I want". And yeah, it went in.

The funny thing is that not before that, nor after, had any kind of lucidity. It was just a brief moment of "I will do this because it's my dream and I want it to happen", and back to my stuff again...

So, I'm not sure if it's just coincidence, or in fact this method makes the brain be a bit more "aware". Honestly I didn't say any mantras or though about lucidity... I just went to sleep normally.

Today it's been 5.30am (did it really easy, no problems). Tomorroy I will try to remember to do some mantras after waking up at 4-5am.

UPDATE

Nothing much to say lately so I just didn't post... I've been respecting my schedule, and to be honest I'm starting to like it. At mornings when I wake up at 5.30am I can do stuff that otherwise I don't (don't have many time on afternoon), and also I feel it a bit more... healthy. Weekends are even longer! Compare getting up at 12am, or even 3PM, to 5.30 or 7.

Now, about the results. For now, only the ones reported before this post. Not getting much for now. Today (sunday) I "cheated" but I don't think it's that bad. I appreciate comments or opinions on this. I was supposed to wake up at 7am today, but keeping in mind is my "dream day" (one day is for small sleep deprivation, the next for REM rebound, awareness and LD), and that it was sunday, I though on staying in bed a little longer. Not much more.. just 1 or 1.5 hours.

Not sure if it was this, but I got a small LD (and managed to complete a basic TOTM, which I posted there). At around 8.45 I think, I just woke up and got up. I though on staying a little longer and trying to LD again, but didn't want to "break" things too much. So, I don't think this is very harmful keeping in mind it's just one day and it's weekend.
