Thread: Andrew's Workbook

from andrewgies17

Reality Checks:

-So it usually goes like this, check watch
-Do plug nose check
-Count fingers
-Feel the air, weight, density, color
-Make sure watch hasn't changed dramatically

Dream Signs:

- As par with my journal entry on 12/30, I dreamt about teaching someone about lucidity, which is kinda like how I love teaching people and am a math tutor as well in the real world
- School has been appearing a lot in my dreams.

Short-Term Goals:

- To have my first lucid dream, and complete one of the January 2013 beginner goals
- To recognize weird things in my dreams and perform RC because of them

Long-Term Goals:

-To be an experienced lucid flyer, and to learn to melt into objects/people and become them

Lucid/Dream Recall History:

-Terrible, the only dream I remember is a recurring nightmare I had when I was younger

Current Technique:

- I am going to start trying the WEILD technique ASAP!
- Also considering the WBTB

Technique Attempts:

- Set an alarm in preparation for a DEILD. And decided to try a basic WILD before I went to sleep, forgot to use affirmations, during the WILD, I got to a point where my body suddenly got very heavy, and with every exhale, it got heavier. I believe I was focusing too much on my body and not on my plan for the dream. Eventually my WILD failed and I moved. I also missed my DEILD alarm.

- Another failed WILD, I tried using the FreeFalling technique...probably failed because it was a strait to bed thing, not a WBTB.

Plan for next lucid dream:

-I am going to start on a bench overlooking the water, with San Francisco behind me (like the scene in MIB 1), then I am going to create a giant glass elevator, travel up it to the top of the Empire State, an do a matrix style jump between the buildings. I am going to "learn" new skills by "running a matrix program" (get the theme?) to give my brain something to grab on to while I get used to dream control.
