Thread: Pennyroyal's workbook

I've had those were I forgot how I became lucid. Interesting isn't it? I guess that's why recall is so important. It's something I've been dealing with quite a bit myself. But anyway, congrats on the lucid!

BTW that spinning sensation was really close. That's how a lot of mine start. It can jolt you awake if you are prepared for it. I think you will eventually get used to it.

Thanks I just chalked it up as a victory and setting my intention to remember my dreams better, I don't want to miss it again!

I know! I havn't tried another attempt yet, but I'm going to have a lot of extra free time on my hands the next few weeks so I'm definitely planning on continuing.

I certainly wasn't prepared for the feeling, to be honest I was a little skeptical because before that moment I had only read about it, or had testimonials from random strangers. I'm skeptical by nature.

A healthy dose if skepticism is a good thing. Good luck on the WILD attempts. Ahh I miss being able to sleep in I got so many that way.

Nice! And I agree, a little skepticism keeps us grounded. Also, remember that you can read up and learn as much as you want about something, but without actually experiencing it for yourself, you can never truly grasp its true meaning.

Cheers!

That was my outlook when I started trying this. It sounded promising, but I was skeptical - I decided that the worst I can do is give it a try and decide it's not for me.

Thanks Paigey

Update for March

Techniques:
MILD Mantra before going to sleep at night. Practicing awareness during the day. I remember to be aware almost everytime I'm outside, but I can't seem to remember to check awareness/RC when I'm at home (except for when I wake up to check for FA).

DEILD if I can manage to keep still/eyes closed when I wake up in the night.
SILD Decided to give this a try when I wake up and WBTB this month.
WILD in the later hours of my sleep.

Goals:
1 dream remembered every night, or 31 dreams at the end of the month.

I was able to DEILD/WILD once, and DILD once in Feb. So 2 for Feb.
I'm shooting for 3 LDs in March.

31 Dreams, 3 Lucids, Stabilize a Lucid Dream, If stabilized break something! (TotM)
