Lesson III "Homework" 3/25/13

Sleep Schedule 11:06PM-7:14AM

Times woken up
None that I remember


Total Situational Awareness (Archer reference, anyone?)
I have been practicing reverse reality checks, and have been doing 9-15 reality checks a day, whenever I pause in an activity and break the haze of autopilot. I am really starting to see the benefits of this, and how it would help with DILDs and realizing when something is completely crazy.

Things that caused me to RC
-Powercord dropped out of my laptop, and the screen brightness lowered
-Having one of my friends run up from behind and cover my eyes with cold hands, whispering guess who?
-Having a girl bake me a cake, even though it's not my birthday
-Singing a song, then having it come up on Pandora
-Me becoming aware at various times throughout the day

How I stand with DILDs and MILDs
Unfortunately, I had absolutely no recall, possibly due to the fact that I went to bed off of my normal schedule. I have actually been focusing on overall awareness in waking life, and haven't repeated any mantras except during a 15 minute period I have before bed. I plan to keep focusing on awareness, dream incubation, and avoiding going off sleep schedule or cheating with WILDs or WBTBs (How I got the majority of my lucids, and not what I want to concentrate on....even though those TOTM wings are quite tempting). I also am planning on updating my workbook, real life, and DV dream journal daily to keep up motivation.

**POTENTIAL DREAM GOALS SOLELY FOR DVA STUDENTS**

I like the idea of creating a more beginner-friendly, TOTM-esque thread with dream goals that will help everyone be motivated, and update their workbooks more regularly (more homework). OpheliaBlue thought it'd be a good idea, so I'll probably start that up in a few days. The whole idea for this thread is the students coming up with great ideas for dream goals, so if you happen to read this, PM me some suggestions or comment below. If you're a little more into competition, Matte87 will be starting a lucid contest for both beginner and experienced lucid dreamers once enough people sign up. If you're interested,
