Okay, so I woke up a few times last night, but I either fell straight back to sleep, or I was too wide awake. I did try DEILD, but for the most part, I kept realizing that I was nearly falling asleep/think of other stuff every couple of minutes rather then concentrating on going back into the dream. I also don't really remember any dreams from last night.
What's going well:
- I'm doing a lot more reality checks, along with awareness throughout the day.
- I'm waking up more but I could with maybe waking up a couple more times a night.
- Dream recall is going well, and my dreams seem to be getting more vivid, with the exception of weekends, because I think waking up later affects my recall.
What's not going well/What I need to work on:
- Staying focused while DEILDing, without waking up too much
- I need to keep at it even when I feel like it wont work, because I read that sometimes it feels like it wont work when you first start, and you need to get over that first.
- Try and recall dreams on a weekend if possible
