Thread: Ace's workbook

That's great, Ace. Congrats on the two LDs! Very productive LDs too. So those were your first?

Haha, I like how you had a runny nose in your dream. Very realistic. And I agree with paige, making things explode by screaming at them is a very interesting method.

Ha, thanks! And yep that was my first LD experience The runny nose made me think whether it was a dream just because it was something that didn't occur to me that would be in my dream...

Been slacking on the journal entries because I've been having poor night sleeps but they should be back on track now! Still been practising awareness every so often throughout the day but maybe not as much as I would like... Have tried a bit of mediation and I enjoyed it, I want to start reading up on mediation and hopefully use it in my everyday routine.
Visualization is something I want to improve on because its a bit poor at the moment, so if anyone has some links that would be appreciated... Also one more thing, when attempting DEILD I tend to forget the previous dream when it comes to writing it in my journal should I stop attempting DEILDs until my recall is better or continue?

Congrats ace! And your first lucid, wow, well done!! Interesting part about the runny nose in your lucid. You never know what things will come up in a lucid that makes it more realistic.

Yeah, journal entries can become an issue during DEILDs specifically, because you're exiting and reentering dreams several times. There are techniques you can do to improve your recall if you're not comfortable with writing them down in between each and every one. But I don't believe that's enough of a reason to stop attempting DEILDs. After all, the more you DEILD, the better you will get at recalling each dream in the chain just by attempting them.

Again, congratulations! I'm proud of you man

Yeah, you wouldn't expect a runny nose to happen. It's so ordinary.

Visualization guide from the dream yoga class.
As for DEILD, I agree with Ophelia in that you can still try doing it. It's certainly helpful to have good dream recall, but if you wake up and don't remember anything, there's no harm in trying DEILD. Just pick something other than a dream to focus on. Breathing is often a good option, but that's up to you.
