Just wanted to post this here as a reference for me, RareCola was extremely helpful in the chat as usual. |

So how goes the homework so far man? |
|
1) I have been attempting to even out my sleep schedule, I have been waking up at 11am every day lately. |

I think you should cut out the alarm, it's alright to have the alarm to go off if you need/want to be up by a certain time, but stop using it for the WBTB and to wake up throughout the night. I occasionally use a night-time mantra "I wake up after each of my dreams and recall them perfectly." and it works remarkably well for me. You just need to really set your intention that you WILL wake up. |

The best reason for having dreams is that in dreams no reasons are necessary.
No sailor controls the sea. Only a foolish sailor would say such a thing. Similarly, no lucid dreamer controls the dream.
Like a sailor on the sea, we lucid dreamers direct our perceptual awareness within the larger state of dreaming.
That's my biggest flaw I caint I have to have the alarm. It helps me a lot. mabey I'm learning I'm a deeper sleeper then I though but when I stopped using my alarm my recall did not improve at all. Always try without and Set ur intentions first but an alarm isn't always a bad thing though. |

Hey Dave, how'd that incubation go? Did you think of something interesting, did it work? |
|
Haha, I dream about DV too sometimes. I generally don't dream about the LDing part of DV. Strange, since I spend most of my time in DVA. Feel free to type up or paste your incubation into your workbook! I'm curious about what you'll incubate. |
|
Well it's late now but I have taken some time to type out what I want to incubate, laying here in bed with my tablet. Here is what I just typed out, I haven't even proofread it and I'm on my tablet so bear with my grammar. |

That's a very very nice dream to read. I feel relaxed just reading it lol x) Great job with the recall, and congrats on the lucidity! |

Took just 2x 25mg Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) last night and it knocked me out. I woke up at 6:00am with a benadryl/sleep buzz (I actually only just remember that I woke up). Not sure if I remembered dreams. I remember thinking "I hope I can remember this tomorrow" but I don't remember what I was supposed to remember |

Oh diphenhydramine wipes out my recall too. Are you sick? Or just trying to get yourself to sleep easier? |
|
My mom told me to take some for rashes on my legs and swelling in my foot. I don't think it did anything for that. For dreaming, considering how bad my recall has been lately, I wouldn't say it killed it, in fact it may have helped. I must not have much of a tolerance for it because just two of the pills made me soooo tired and even delirious in the early morning. |

Dammit man I'm so effing frustrated with LDing. No recall again last night. Can't expect to lucid dream with recall and like this. This whole thing is turning into a disaster. |

Dave, I know this sounds a bit contradictory, but try to "try less." Frustration and stress is definitely not conducive to lucid dreaming, the past few days I've been very relaxed and confident in my lucid dreaming ability, even though I was going on a week dry spell, and I broke the spell. Don't give up, just remember that every experience, even a seemingly disappointing one, is exactly that; experience. You can learn what does and doesn't work for you this way. |

Figured I should finally do the homework that I should have done a long time ago |

So no dreams again last night. Umm I really don't know what the heck is wrong here. Rant rant rant rant |

You're too preoccupied with thinking about your wife, aren't you? It's all Kraom's fault. Pining over your wife has ruined your recall. |

Hahaha I figure I have better chances with her in my dreams, so no dream recall = no Yvonne. Now there's an incentive |

I am up at 8am doing a WBTB and I am thinking about what my last dream felt like. It was just really a bunch of uninteresting thoughts going around in circles as I roll around uncomfortably in bed. Not sure what I can do about it. Maybe I am getting too much sleep. |

"You Can't, You Won't And You Don't Stop"Lucid Goals: [Ask a DC: "Am I dreaming?"] [Ask a DC: "What are you?"]
Set my alarm for 6:15AM and did a WBTB+SSILD and said a mantra. I recalled 3 dreams, but no lucids. They weren't real interesting, but beggers can't be choosers. All of the dreams had something to do with golf for some reason. Very strange. |
