Here is a general synopsis of my dreaming so far...

Sleeping Habits
After moving to my new place, my sleep schedule is a consistent 8hrs from 10pm-6am pst. I typically wake up 4 hours after I go to sleep initially.

Recall
Since I re-started my dream journal in May, I have had relatively consistent recall at 2-3 dreams per night. Once I get paid, I am planning on investing in an audio recorder so I dont have to write in the middle of the night. Then I can record the dreams in the morning in my journal and here on dream views. My recall has definitely improved as far as detail within the dream. I am trying to get back into the emotion of dreams since Ive been disconnected from that for a while.

Lucidity
In the past two weeks I have had four lucid dreams. In the previous 3 months I only had one lucid and that was in the middle of August. It took since May of consistent practice to finally begin having lucids on a regular basis. This is totally ok with me because when I returned to the site in May, I was determined to focus on dream practice as a whole and let the lucidity grow at its own pace. This has turned out to be a huge advantage. It has made my dreaming much more consistent and I can see my awareness gradually growing. As I continue my practice, this consistency will provide that essential foundation for further growth.

Reality Checks
This practice has become much clearer to me in the last week or so. I am learning to recognize my dream signs more often. Once I have consistent dream signs established, I try to RC whenever I experience those signs in waking life. This should serve to enhance my awareness as well. My dreams are changing as I change IRL which is very interesting. The beauty of reality checks seems to be the solidity they provide in an environment of change.

Pre-Sleep Routine
I am still working this out. I feel that once I establish a consistent pre-sleep routine, it will serve as a mental activation for my mind and entering sleep aware will be much easier. What I would really like to do is create a unique ritual focused on awareness and relaxation. Like I say, this is a work in progress.

So yeah...Just wanted to provide an update and kind of show for myself where I am at presently. Any suggestions, input, analysis would be appreciated
