Woot! Bust out that notebook! |

True story. I never even started to do that last time I was here. But..... |
|
I apologize for the lack of response Ophelia, I typed out a long response via Kindle and I guess it never posted..... |
|
That's a nice and well-organized plan. It should help you acheive lucid dreams in no time, if you put your heart and soul into it of course. |

Sounds like a good plan, Ty. DEILD is such a cool little method, especially if you don't have much time or sleep. I'm guessing the recall is going well? |

Good to know that the plan is sound. As for the recall, it is getting better. However, my motivation to write the dream down instead of wake up is pretty non-existant... |
|
Do you mean motivation to write down the dream instead of just fall back asleep when you wake up in the middle of the night? Or do you mean that when you wake up in the morning, you'd prefer to just get out of bed and start the day rather than spend time journaling. |
|
Thanks for the advice Canis. I currently have a lack of motivation to write the dreams down in the middle of the night. All I do is wake up and want to go back to sleep. As for in the morning when I need to get up, my alarm is across my room so i need to get up to shut it off. I can stand listening to that beeping! |
|
Heh. All I can tell you is that I really do sympathize. There have been nights where I just run over the dream (to load it into my short-term memory), and jot down some keywords. On those times when the thought of getting all the way out of bed just hurts this is a good fallback. It's much, much better than not writing it down at all! |

Haha, good suggestions on the water before bed, though I drink between 2-3 gallons a day so I don't know if that will have much of an effect on me. However, during my last "dream kick" I was waking up after every dream and could remember it very well. That is the goal that I am going for. I much more greatly prefer waking up after every dream as compared to remembering multiple upon waking up for the day. If I remember too many dreams at once it becomes hard to keep them separated. Anyways, thanks again for the help and suggestions Canis. |

Wow, 2-3 gallons a day! I thought that I drank a lot of water, but that beats me bad. This makes the couple glasses of pee water that I chug before bad seem kind of wimpy, ha ha. You must be a fitness buff drinking that much water! |
|
Haha, I am on a health kick. I was nearly 250 lbs at age 16. I decided that I never wanted to be that heavy again and have been dropping weight since. Thus far, I have dropped nearly 40 lbs. Its all a work in progress though. I want to drop a total of 80-ish pounds. I should achieve that by the end of this school year. |
|
Man, that is excellent!! Congratulations to you on stepping up and putting in the work. Shedding 40 pounds of fat means that you've cooked off 140,000 Calories. The dedication, willpower, and work ethic that this represents are gonna be very handy for your lucid dreaming work. |

Thanks for the encouragement guys! I am planning on throwing some strength training into the mix as I get nearer to my goal. I did not want to start off converting fat to muscle because muscle weighs more and I would rather be around 170-180 lbs than be built. So, as I drop below 200 and get near 185-190 I will add on some strength training. Nothing to intense though. I don't want to be bulging with muscles; rather, lean with definition. So, crunches, pushups, pull-ups, minor weight lifting, and quite a bit of cardio should do the trick. Anyways, thanks for the encouragement guys! It is always appreciated! |

Hey guys! Just wanted to drop in with an update. I have not given up on Lucid Dreaming or anything. No worries. |
|
No worries. It's not a race. Take care of your real life stuff first and pick up where you left off later. We'll be here when you get more time. You can still do your routine even if you don't get a chance to post. Good luck and take care! |

Sounds like you are right where you need to be. With school work, your weight loss progress, and now a job demanding your time and energy, you're right to let dreaming be something that refreshes you rather than drains you. |
