Time I go to sleep - Between 10:00pm and 11:00pm every day.
Time I wake up - 6:30am on week days and 9:00am on weekends.
Time I have naturally woken up in the past few days - 3:23am, 4:46am and 5:02am. I normally don't wake up in the night be ever since I learned about lucid dreaming I have done nearly every other day so far. This is mainly the reason why I decided to go with the WILD technique.

Why I want to Lucid Dream

I want to be free to be able to do anything that I think of in my dreams. I also want to be able to control my dreams so that when I have a nightmare (every couple of weeks I always seem to have a nightmare of me being chased by something or that I am trapped somewhere and need to escape quickly) I can take control and stop the nightmare or confront it.

In my first lucid dream it didn't last very long. So in my second one I want to do something that i can't normally do in waking life. For example I want to make an object appear or fly.


Night Routine

My night routine at the moment is that I will go get a cup of water and go sit on my bed. I get my dream journal and put it on my bed side table along side a pen. I will drink some of the water while thinking to myself that I will dream tonight and that I will recall that dream in the morning. I then get into my normal sleeping position and go to sleep while repeating to myself that I will dream tonight and that I will recall when i wake up.
