Thread: ♫ PostScript99's Workbook ♫

I can't believe I almost forgot about this!

I was feeling down a week ago, and got two dark lucid snatches that were probably from NREM (useless ). I've gotten lucid in an NREM dream before, but everything was dark, there was only a chalkboard, and I though 9*6=4 and 8*6 = 77. However, in the last couple of days, I got vivid back-to-back lucids, so I'm feeling good. I'd experiment with SSILD a little, but am doing a challenge where WBTB techniques are forbidden, so that'll have to wait.

Oooooh congratulations! And lol dat math, so good. good luck on the challenge

LOL. Our brains probably don't do their best math in NREM.

Hey, this competition that forbids WBTB techniques sounds interesting. Is that the main rule or are there others? I lean so hard on WBTB that I think I'd be in big trouble!

What's the idea behind limiting WBTB techs?

Really, we're just trying to focus less on the process, and more on the result. It seems promising so far.

What have you and everyone else involved learned so far? This is interesting to me because WBTB is an absolute cornerstone practice for me. I've had a handful of LDs without it, but very, very few. It's cool to see that a group of you is exploring LDing along other paths.

Is this contest somewhere on DV?

It's an IOSDP thing.

I'm surprised that you're almost completely reliant on WBTB. A lot of my lucids were earned without it. For about a month now, I've been avoiding it after my insomnia scare, but did it again for the competition (and now I have insomnia again ).

Interesting, so it sounds like you guys are switching back and forth between using WBTB and not using it, then?

I'm sorry to hear about the insomnia! Does making WBTB super brief help you at all in this regard? All of my WBTBs are natural wakings, and if I'm in the daylight hours, I generally just go straight back to sleep after peeing. That gives me the best chance of success, and a WBTB of even a couple minutes sometimes gets me lucid once I'm into the late morning.
