Yay! A new month! A convenient time for setting goals

I think I'm pretty close to finally finalizing a definite nighttime routine for my dreaming activities.

Here's my game plan, lucid dreaming technique, nighttime routine or whatever you want to call it.

1.Fall asleep trying to think about as little as possible.
2.Upon becoming lucid, make sure the dream is vivid. If it's not, make it vivid by rubbing hands, looking around and focusing on details while saying "stabilize". Try to remember to keep it vivid during the dream.
3.Upon waking, attempt to DEILD by making the ringing in the ears as loud as possible.
4.If DEILDing fails, stay still and mentally back track as far back as the dream could be remembered.
5.Write down the dream in as much detail as I can going forward. Assess whether to get a snack or drink.
6.Repeat 1-5 until it's time to get up.
7.Type dreams in online Dream journal.

I'll try to stick with this routine for one month. If I find flaws with it, then I'll attempt to amend it and try it again the next month. My goal is 70 dreams and 20 lucid dreams for the month. The writing of dreams is most important though. I've got to get in a good habit of that.

Off to bed! We'll see how it goes!
