Welcome welcome Luke, glad you could make the chat class. |

Hey guys! I'm Luke and I'v been trying to LD for a couple of months now with no real success. I'm starting this during my finals week so I might be a little stressed which might mess with my recall because It's been extra bad right now. I just started DEILD last night, and after my third time of doing it, i woke up still, but my eyes started twitching out and blinking and stuff. I'v been DILDing for about 3 weeks, I RC and do SAT about 10 times a day. Hopefully I can come to a lot of the class discussions and am really excited to join calls |

Welcome welcome Luke, glad you could make the chat class. |

Hey Idionym. You've had some good questions so far in the chat. |
|
That was a good chat today! |
|
I have pretty bad recall, so I think my only dream signs are my parents, but idk X |
|
I think you need to take a step back. It's great to be ambitious and aim for lucidity and shared dreaming but if your recall is bad this is what you should be spending your time focusing on first. Once you have your dream recall down, you can take it off the focus of your radar and bring lucid dreaming to the forefront. |

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.
Thats a good idea Cola, I'm going to try that tonight. I'm also about to start my CAT stuff tonight, so hopefully after a week or 2 of the recall stuff i can have O.K recall. Tonight I'm going to take a B6 vitiman during my WBTB and then the recall mantra, hopefully it will work! |
|
Well, tonight I was going to use self-hypnotism to get myself to recall my dreams. I fell to sleep but I did remember a large chunk of one dream =D |
|
Awesome! Post the dream chunk in your journal so we can read it! |
|
I woke up about every 60 mins through an alarm and got 4 dream frags, so hopefully my recall is getting better =D |
|
Oh good, 4 dream fragments this time, instead of just the one! Definitely put them in your journal. |
|
I think my fan was to loud tonight, so my alarm turned off on its own after a minute =/ |
|
Hey Idionym, good job on increasing your dream recall! A long dream is still an improvement, so that's not necessarily bad that you didn't remember multiple fragments. You've been using SAT too, right? How's that been going? Have you noticed increased awareness in your dreams? |
|
I'v been doin SAT but not really any results yet, although I'v been kinda lazy on it because I'm focused on recall |
|
I have a question for you Luke, it came up in chat last night. Do you feel focusing on recall is actually taking away from focusing on SAT and lucidity? |
|
Ya, it feels like it. This might change in 3 weeks when I start to CAT though. |
|
I really think you should put more emphasis on awareness, not just questioning if you're dreaming but your entire environment. Having more awareness not only helps with lucidity, but boosts the vividness of your non-lucids and therefore should help with recall. |

Thanks Rarecola, I'm definitely going to use this! |

I remembered a pretty long dream last night, but have been getting really lazy with my reality checks/awareness. |
|
Cool, I'd love to read it. |
|
Today, I also remembered a pretty long dream. I think my recall is getting more stable so I might start switching my effort more towards lucid dream, but I don't know what method I want to use =/ |
|
Please don't give up on your RC's just because they seem futile Idionym. |
|
Today my recall wasn't to good, I went to bed to late =/ |
|
Trying DEILD and still working on recall. Not much new. |
|
Im at camp so idk if I can do anything but dild |
