Lucid dream #20 last night! I got stuffed early trying Task of the Month but I finally achieved high altitude, stable flight and made it all the way to space! I know that flight comes naturally to a lot of folks but for me it's been tough. That made this LD a big milestone.

Here is the Dream Journal entry:The Unprepared Astronaut - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

LD goals accomplished:
-Stable, high altitude flight
-Travel to outer space

I also thought this would be a good time to document my precise LD routine these past two (successful) nights. It seems easy to remember now but I just know that I'll forget some important detail later.

Food/Supplements: Drink a lot of pee water before bed. As in, water that will make me get up to pee throughout the night. Not water with pee in it. GOSH, you guys!!
Bedtime: 9:345-10:45. I do the best I can here. I can go later than 10:45 on a weekend, but otherwise my odds are going to be really bad.
WBTB: I rely on natural awakenings for my WBTB, but I definitely employ WBTB. If I wake up after or around 4 AM, I put my game face on.

Before sleep, sit in bed, writing a few sentences in DJ about how vivid and memorable my dreams will be and how well I recognize the state of dreaming. Skim over a few recent dreams. Lay down, planning to visualize what I'll do in next lucid. (In reality, fall asleep in like 3 seconds.)

Upon each waking, try to recall any dreams while feeling the bedsheets to catch false awakenings. Get up, reality check, pee. Try to avoid light. Write down all dreams, back to bed. Perform MILD. In most wakings before 4 am, I don't last long before falling asleep.

In any wakings at 4 AM or later, I journal as usual, then give MILD a full-out effort. I visualize myself back in my most recent dream while constantly having my dream voice say, "I'm dreaming." I add banners and graffiti all over the walls of the dream scene that say "I'M DREAMING". I visualize myself moving as quickly as possible to performing my chosen lucid goal. Once this is done, I loop back to the beginning of the dream and repeat. I do this until I feel drowsy, then I roll over onto my side or stomach and try to fall asleep, continuing to MILD. If it's difficult to sleep, I cut the MILD out and just meditate on my breathing until I am asleep.
