I'm interested in what approach you're using to incubate precognitive dreams. Hey... what if that "clairvoyant" that your wife tried to hire in your dream was... you! Dun dun DUNNN!!

I apologize to everyone for my inactivity. Things have been crazy, busy, and hectic around here. I just haven't got the chance to get online much. And I haven't been able sleep late for awhile (I'm lucky to get 8hrs) so the timer thing is bad for me right now. My lucid rate has dropped so I'm just mostly focusing on day time awareness which, of course, can be full plate on its own. I really think that is the key to it all anyway. You won't get far without strong awareness practices. The other night I missed a dream sign that I have been trying to incubate all week. I saw it and noticed it but I didn't pay attention to it. I woke feeling like a moron but I realized I had been slacking on the awareness.

For now I'm going back to more traditional MILDs during the week and WILDs on weekends and that "Hail Mary" DEILD once in a while. I'll WBTB when I feel like I can handle it. Keeping it simple and relaxed seems to work best for me. I guess sometimes I get wrapped up in looking for that one thing that will do it for me every time that I forget the basics. Shame on me! Although, I am doing some subliminal stuff starting tonight that I found on youtube. Call it a lazy MILD if you will but really its just a 10 min thing so it shouldn't be very intrusive.

regardless, my recall has been holding at 2-4 per night except last night. For some reason both dreams were so odd and abstract that I lacked words to describe it so I really didn't feel up to writing in my DJ. That's another thing. I haven't had time to post to my online DJ and my offline one is just bullet point type notes. I think I am getting my dream signs and such from them but it's not the same as writing out all the little details. I hope to do better this weekend but maybe it's not that big a deal.

As for the precog, that's still in its infancy stage and I'm still working that out with paigeyemps. But getting lucid would be the first step. I am, however, keeping an eye out for those non lucid precogs. Also, maybe I did incubate something with the "clairvoyant" in that dream. I had not thought of it until I read your post. Interesting. I need to be more vigilant. It seems my incubation ability is getting better. It won't be long until I trigger another LD this way.
