Welcome, Sirus! Great workbook, goals, and base. If you've had some experience in the "5 dream a night" recall range, then you're already starting from a good place. Building back up to something like that will be all that you need. |

Perfect! Nothing like going to the words of the inventor himself. That whole book is good and LaBerge is the man on all things lucid dreaming. There are some good additional resources on this site (linked in the resources section of the Intro Class subforum) that can provide some additional ideas, but the approach outlined in "Exploring" is the backbone to what I do. |

I saw one of my favorite quotes today and realized the double meaning behind it. |
|
I continue to see references to written dream journals at our bedside. Why? |

Yep, this one may be a cliché, but it's a cliché for a reason. Flight is amazing and so useful for accomplishing anything else you have in mind. Ground travel can work okay but you're much more subject to distractions and surprising obstacles when you're on foot. |

No lucid dreams, but I have definitely noticed a few things on my recent quest for lucidity. |

Congrats on the recall progress! |

Sounds like you're right where you need to be, passing through the "almost lucid" phase that I think just about all of us go through at some point. I certainly did. This bit's totally normal. When I was first getting my LD practices started, I used to have so many dreams about LD that it would drive me nuts. I spent a whole dream sitting in "The Lucid Sports Bar" watching lucid dreamers play lucid dreaming sports on all of these TVs, wishing I could be like them. I mean, come on. |

"The Lucid Sports Bar!" I can't even imagine how frustrating that must have been. |

Hey Sirius! I just wanted to say that I have been away from lucid dream several times since I joined in 2006 for various reasons. I totally agree that this class and using the workbook is very motivating. We are like a big support group for lucid dreaming. Its great! |

Thought I'd provide a brief update, as I have not been on the DreamViews forum for a while. I have been away from home for the last month which made my lucid dream induction training very difficult, if not impossible. I was traveling constantly over the last few weeks and throughout my trip found myself sleeping in some very uncomfortable environments, my schedule was severely altered along with my diet and my daily routine. Overall, my dream recall plummeted to close to nothing and I ceased my constant daily reality checks. Surprisingly though, at about 2 weeks into my trip. I managed to have a semi-lucid dream, where I identified I was in a dream and willed something to occur and had witnessed it actually occurring. I woke up shortly after but did not feel the exhilaration common to waking immediately following a lucid dream. I actually felt somewhat underwhelmed with the vividness and my impression on what it would be like. I attribute this sense of being underwhelmed to the fact that I actually had not attained full lucidity. I had no awareness of my waking memories or of my intend tasks once I was to become lucid. |

I have just started reading "The Lucid Dreamer" by Malcolm Goodwin and words cannot describe how wonderful this book is. It is exactly what I have been searching for. |
|

I bought a hard cover copy off of Amazon for around $5-10 dollars. Get the hard cover version if you are offered a choice, better quality and durability. Ironically, it is also usually cheaper on Amazon. |
