Another lucid this morning. I tried summoning my dog I used to have to apogolize to him for trying to get rid of him on what would be the aniversary of his death. I know, right? Of course in this dream there were tons of dogs running around in a park to make it tough on me. For a second I thought I succesfully summoned him but when I looked closer he wasn't quite the same. I at least dedicated a lucid to my dog so that makes me feel better. If he randomly shows up in a dream I'll be sure to apoligize and play with him.

The dream seemed pretty stable as I was actively trying to summon my dog. It seems like motivation must be a part of stabilization as my dream quickly ended after I stopped trying to summon him and started wandering around. It seems like in order to keep the dream stable and have to have a goal and I have to be actively persuing it.

I remembered to stay still once to attempt DEILD to it's good to see a tiny bit of progress there. I must keep at it the develop this habit.

Right now my lucid dream induction technique is simply watching the blackness behind my eyelids until I see the dream as I fall asleep. I don't want to tinker with this technique anymore! It doesn't work every time but it works enough that I seem to be averaging 5 lucids a week. I've had 15 the last 3 weeks, not counting a few fragments. I'm happy with that!
