-Many dreams are set in Poland.
-Even more dreams take place in my school.

-Quite often i'll have dreams in which i'm running late for a bus or train and I have to hurry in order to get onto it.

Short-Term Goals:
-Use WBTB a few times after increasing recall.
-Attain lucidity!

Long-Term Goals:

Lucid/Dream Recall History:
-Recall is currently lower than usual. I will continue using my dream journal and read it before bed each night.

Current Technique:
-No formal technique I am actually trying right now.
-Currently working on getting recall to its max and do DILD.
-When I have time, I will attempt WBTB with DILD.

Lesson I
-Time going to bed, ~22:45. Wake-up time, ~5:10

Why I want to lucid dream:
I feel that learning to lucid dream would be a nice way to learn about myself and my mind. I find the idea of having some level of control of an environment, characters, and actions in my dreams really exciting. I suppose I can also gain some better confidence in general through dreaming.

There's a lot of things i'd want to do in a lucid dream but the first things that pop into my head.. I'd probably be kissing girls right and left (). I'd of course want to fly, or play in the world of a television show or book. On top of that it'd be nice to just have conversations with dream characters. The fact that you can be talking to "somebody" that is really just your mind is just astonishing.
