Thread: DawgBone's Workbook

Journal:
I started a Dreamviews DJ about a year ago, but have been inactive for some time. Recorded a new dream on Monday. It was not lucid, but was fairly interesting. I will not record all my dreams in the Dreamviews DJ, just the good ones. I'm keeping a separate journal that will include everything.

Reality Checking:
I have a watch with a vibrating alarm which I am going to start using for this. It has an hourly alarm and 5 individually settable alarms. When I goes off during the day, I'll do an RC. I'll use the nose pinch technique.

Waking Journal:
This technique was mentioned in Monday's Chat. Sounds like a good way of increasing general awareness. I can expand my private DJ to include the events of the day.

Nutrition:
As suggested in Lesson One, I going to pick up some bananas, milk and fish.

Books:
The Lucid Dreamer - Malcolm Godwin
Lucid Dreaming - Robert Waggoner
Journeys Out of Body - Robert Monroe

Doing some reading before bedtime instead of watching reruns of Desperate Housewives is probably a good idea.

The waking journal is supposedly supposed to help with dream recall, here's the thread discussing the method, but I haven't read through the entire thread to see if awareness has increased for anyone who used it. If you find that it does increase awareness, let us know! I would be much more interested in using a waking journal to increase awareness.

Reading LD stuff before bed is a very good idea! I usually visit DV before bed, but I want to get into the habit of reading more of LaBerge's book before going to sleep. I hope those LD books are interesting.
