4th/5th week review
February 25th - March 12th
Well March break has finally come (or as you americans say, 'spring break', 'cept it's still freezing up here), and I can finally breath a sigh of relief.
School had been choking me out for work assignments for the previous 2 weeks which really screwed with my dream recording, I haven't recorded a dream in a while.
However, I do still remember them, and the last few weeks have been out of the ordinary.
Now, it seems as though I'm having a nightmare every other day, which is strange since during the third week, I discovered that my subconscious had been suppressing them.
Now it seems that the flood gates have opened, as k/nightmares have been coming after me the past two weeks, even last night.
Lucidity has been helping me out in that regard, since if a nightmare lasts long enough, I'll eventually realize that I'm in a dream and that I'm not in any danger, though that's only happened maybe 2 times of the 6 or so nightmares I've had.
This all started after I took this.
The first night afterward I had a very vivid dream that I recorded, it was probably one of the most vivid dreams I've ever had.
Though it wasn't lucid, it wasn't a nightmare either, it was just a peaceful typical dream adventure, though the night afterward was different.
I wasn't as vivid as the last one though still more vivid than most, and you guessed it, it was a nightmare.
It kind of struck me as odd, since I hadn't had a nightmare in weeks, and before that, months.
My subconscious told me that it had quarantined all of my knightmares into something called the quarantine zone, so did it break? Is my subconscious no longer suppressing them? Why?
These were all the questions that were going through my head, afterward things from supernatural beings to friends I knew years ago have been trying to kill me in my dreams.
Now that I can relax I'll probably start recording my dreams again, it may help who knows?
Dream Control 5/10: Still one of my weak points, however recently the non-lucid me has been able to use it to suppress
knightmares and change dream events to go in my favor, though those events are still few and far between.
Dream Recall 6/10: Since I'd been rushing to complete assignments before march break I'd forgotten about trying to remember my dreams
during the day, however that didn't stop me from doing it subconsciously anyway. I've been able to remember quite a few dreams but my recall
isn't really up to par to how good it should be. I'll definitely be trying to improve that and get out of my slump.
Lucidity 4/10: Lucidity has actually been pretty good over the past few weeks. It's getting easier to spot the ludicrous characteristics
of certain dreams, though lucidity these days has been more of a reconciliation than it has been an invitation to have fun.
Homework
I've had homework of my own to do recently so I've been slacking pretty hard in this department.
I had a stable sleep schedule before the march break, but during, well, I don't usually get the chance to sleep in till 2:00 p.m., kind of taking advantage of that.
P.S. There are probably some mistakes above but I've been writing so many paragraphs recently I just can't be bothered to proof read.
