Thread: Saxton's Workbook

I had a lucid dream last night and it was much more vivid than any other lucid I've had. Surprisingly I didn't do a reality check, I just suddenly knew i was dreaming as everything surged into focus. After I woke up I tried doing a DEILD, but i started getting psychedelic green swirling light in my vision and loud buzzing which freaked me out and made me move. Didn't realize falling asleep was that intense

I've also noticed that I wake up naturally after about 8 hours of sleep and if I try going back to sleep, I can't fully fall back to sleep. I always end up in those "half dreams", where everything is happening but its more imagined senses and not my full view while I still feel my body sleeping in bed paralyzed. It's kind of frustrating when trying to to WILDs in the morning when I have nothing to do.

I do lose track of time though; I think I'm just not relaxing enough. I think i'm holding on to my senses as an anchor for awareness. I should try doing my breath or visualized movements. I'll try that tonight if I can.
