Thread: CaptainCrounche's Workbook

As Wurlman stated, it's never bad to write a lot! I also agree that waking up a few times certainly isn't bad. Just make sure to think about your dreams a little when you wake up.

It might be completely random but I think it's encouraging!

Your dreams can certainly be influenced by thinking, reading, or watching something before going to bed. One's dreams are often influenced by what happens in the day, after all. That's a method commonly used in MILD, it's called dream incubation. There are also a few other variations, such as Visually Incubated LDs and Daydream Awareness.
