Homework

Your Homework For Lesson I is to:

Start your own workbook thread in this subforum (here) (x)
Start a Dream Journal and record each dream. (x)
Record the times that you naturally go to bed and wake-up, and list it in your workbook. (x)

Times I go to bed and wake up

Usually bed time is 9pm and wake time is 5am. Lately ive been falling asleep between 3 to 5pm and waking up 1am to 5am to 6.30am.


Do reality checks whenever you experience something weird throughout the day, and list it in your workbook. (x)

Reality checks through Day

Since I didn't know what would count as weird I did a reality check every time I saw a dream sign. I did two reality checks. Twice from seeing a car where I tried to levitate and took notice of the smells and sounds and sensations I could feel. These were quite surprising even going as detailed as feeling the hair against my face or the wind touching different areas of my body.

I soon noticed I was noticing things more that I otherwise wouldn't such as the feel of the key in the door. It was quite fascinating.

Write a list for why you want to lucid dream (for motivation), and plan out what you want to do in your next lucid dream. (x)

Why I want to Lucid Dream

I find the idea of practising things in a safe environment interesting. I would like to practice situations I'm often afraid of as well as get better at sex without being a slut.

I want to use a dream a night to pray to and worship god.

I find the idea of tasting and experiencing things I've never experienced fascinating.

I like the idea of having goals every night making my dreaming a valuable time.

I would like to stop disturbing dreams featuring incest and bestiality.

Next Lucid dream I would like to fix the Hubble telescope. (x)


Establish a night-time routine (Include reading your dream journal, making sure to leave your DJ open to a blank page for quicker dictations). (x)

Nightly routine

I will read through some of my dream entries and check through the dream Views sight for any messages or such. I will put my voice recorder next to bed in order to record my dreams the next morning.

Optional:
Start a DreamViews Dream Journal (here). (x)
Start posting snippets from your dreams in the Dream Snippets Thread to get feedback on your dreams! (x)
Start practicing awareness from Lesson IV(x)
If you notice any recurring elements in your dream journal (aka dream signs), list it in your workbook.(x)

What I've Done Today

I have read through whole sign up thread and have introduced myself as well as tried to help some people by telling of my experiences.

I have made my work book and read through lesson one as well as glossary

I Have checked DVA lesson times and checked out apprenticeship program. Note to self must work really hard on work book to increase chances of being chosen. .

I have read lesson 1 and copied down homework to my work book.

I am now in the process of reading tutorials.

I have also recorded all my dreams by voice recorder and put snippets of dream in my dream diary until I have time to record more properly.

Finished tutorials on awareness. I can feel that I'm starting to get overwhelmed with study so I'm finished for today.

My goals for tommorow

Read tutorial on Dream control and stabilization ?(x)
Do some home work for lesson one (x)
Join Yoga class and read up on sign up thread(x)
Record dreams on voice recorder (x)
Finish editing one Dream journal entry (x)

Awareness Notes

Real life awareness is fascinating to me. For someone with mental illness I often feel like my life is a dream that is just passing me by. e.g dream walking. Perhaps being aware of life will help me have a better quality of life and help me feel more in control.

The alarms through the night is something I'm not sure about. I'm worried it will disturb my sleep patterns which take me weeks to fix.

3rd tutorial is very interesting. Questioning your reality cause and effect I must try this. Note Try Dream Yoga but not until after this class as it will be to over whelming for you.

Yoga is AWESOME definitely doing class will just take it easy.

Lucid dreaming seems to be having a strange and unexpected change in me. Since joining this sight I am less afraid of what people think and am being more true to myself in daily life even setting boundaries and sticking to them.

End of work book entries for the day August 14/ 2012

Oh that's good to know, Starlia Setting boundaries in real life can be tricky and scary. I think I can identify with that.

Notes for dreams

I was having trouble with my dreams fading as I was close to waking up. By using some techniques I found on the awareness tutorial I was able to hang onto and go back into the dream. One thing I did often was take mouthfuls of bark from trees. Something I swore I would never do. my mouth was full of chips of wood taste and I could smell something as well pine? I spat it out as I walked it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. makes me think of an experiment

Try tasting anything and everything unusual in my dreams and record my senses on the object.

have tasted pine tasted like pine and had the texture of pine needles but very soft.



I tried rubbing my hands together, examining my hands and using voice commands and touching every object. It was a loosing battle but it seems it brought me time. Though they didn't feel effective.

Dream Incubation Notes and DELID

Had to laugh when the lady said repeating a couple of sentences to yourself won't work as I do this all the time successfully.

Daydreaming hmm interesting I will have to give this a try.

DEILD sounds tiring I don't think this is something I will practice. Though I think I do it naturally at times.

You wake naturally through the night? That explains why I can tell my dreams apart with no memory of ever waking. It seems I have excellent dream recall as well as I can remember up to 6 dreams a day and 16 in 3 days before forgetting details. It seems this is an advantage. Though I wonder why I don't remember other everyday things so well perhaps my mind has put dreams on top of the priority list hmmm.
