Well, I have been unusually busy for the month of June in terms of responsibility. I have not been able to practice because I got stuck with a work assignment that took up all of my time for ten whole days...but that is no excuse to practice...yes, I know .

So, I made a commitment to challenge myself to putting everything I have into becoming lucid and obtaining more control. I made a contract with my family and had them sign it that they will not disturb me in the morning, during naps, or during meditation. My family have been aware of my OBE's and LD's for a long time now, so this is not at all strange to them. I believe that if I make this commitment, I will be more obligated to the time and effort of practice. Many times over the last two weeks, my son has been waking me up (school is out ) just to tell me he is leaving to go to a friends house. One time last week, he woke me up straight out of a FA...scared the sh#t out of me! So now and according to the contract they signed, they are not to wake me up and they can leave me a note on my door if the wish. During meditation, I had to be creative and create a space in my bathroom to meditate. I go into my bathroom and lock the door. Then, I go into my huge shower and place a chair in it and turn off the lights and meditate. Oh yeah, there is also a sign on the bathroom door that says, "Do not disturb...in the astral." I love my family, they don't question me about the strangeness or question what I'm doing...they just believe me. I am retraining my brain to think like a child and not question every single little thing that I feel or see. I can't tell you how important it is to be like a child sometimes when attempting the things we do in the dream world...just like a child, YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE! You have to believe that it is possible to fly to our solar system, believe that you have the ability to make anything appear, believe that you can see someone who have died many years ago, appear right in front of you like no time has passed..and most important, just believe that you can lucid dream.

If I believe all these things are possible and I have the capabilities to accomplish all of these things, I know I have already conquered the most difficult part of LDing. I will put to practice this new mentality tonight and be like a child and believe it will happen. If it doesn't, no worries, like a child, I will anxiously await my next opportunity...just simply believing.
