.........................
I have a virus right now, and have been having lots of trouble sleeping due to the massive pains in my head and congestion. So I pretty much stayed up for quite a while snap chatting people and noodling to some backing tracks. All in all, not a bad night

Things that caused me to RC (In waking life)
-Various times throughout the day
-I try to do it at least once a class period, as well as during transitions and while talking to people, so I don't get lulled into the fact of everything's normal...lalallalalala
-Dejavu and later in the day thinking about the past which is an automatic trigger for remembering to RC for me
WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO/WHAT I AM FOCUSING ON

Wow. I slipped for almost a month, due to LOTS OF STRESS in personal life with girlfriend, AP exams and finals coming up, and lots of relatives visiting + my sister coming home for college.
I had to drag myself out of bed this morning, and was in such a bad mood from the pain in my throat that I was frustrated and ignored my dream journal, opting straight for the shower and some tylenol. I think I will post a (brief) dream I had from Thursday night, just to set myself up for getting back into the habit of posting here daily. I agree with your post, chimp- I need to hone the basics and really commit for things to be easy. I see lots of things I can do to improve or help, and when I focus on them I can see positive change almost every morning, but I do have trouble with motivation and getting thrown off. I love writing in my dream journal and think it is PHENOMENAL practice for so many aspects of writing, so I will really try to keep up with it now. I'm going to be aware, continue my nighttime relaxation periods (maybe some meditation..?) and spice this workbook entry up both for myself and others. I think slight encouragement is a great motivator for me (so I feel more integrated into the community) so thank you guys who post here to give me encouragement and feedback, keep it up!
In addition to focusing on the fundamentals and establishing an stricter routine, I'm going to act out some fun experiments to see how they affect my dreaming, and hopefully post the results here! My first idea is to better flesh out my 'named subconscious' by writing a few descriptive pages detailing his (Oom) physical features and personality. I might create a running adventure series about him, both in waking life and from my dreams to help with dream incubation, and try some songmaking and art to further enhance his realism. OKAY. you're seeing me set up a great plan for a fresh start, and I'm going to start implementing it today. NEXT GOAL: #2nd LUCID DREAM DILD THROUGH DREAM INCUBATION
