I turned in at 12:50am last night, but it took me a while to get off to sleep. I had too much stress in my system. I woke up at 7am and failed at attempting DEILD. |

I turned in a bit later last night, close to 1am. My dream recall was still hazy and disjointed compared to how it has been. The RWI technique didn't work, but I'm going to stick with it. My theory is that it will sink in and work after a while. I just need to train myself to get it to work. |

A late update for the past two nights. Dream recall is coming back, but still no lucidity. I think I need a change a plan for this project. I might prolong it for another two weeks, but with a change of strategy. |
|
I turned in at a reasonable hour - about 12:30. I decided to take a slightly different approach. This time I would lie in bed and daydream as if I was already in a lucid dream. It seemed to work for my DEILD successes, so why not for MILD? |
|
Turned in a little later, closer to 1am. I attempted the same thing as the previous night. Not much dream recall, but I woke up at 5:50am, and attempted a WBTB since I needed the toilet. Actually what I did was more like a WILD. It didn't work, but again I recalled more of my dreams. |
|
So I turned in at a reasonable hour last night, about 12:45. I decided to try a technique I found on someone else's workbook. Just lying back and focusing on the darkness behind my eyelids, while repeating a mantra. |
|
I had a near-success this morning - I didn't quite reach lucidity, but I was so close. |
|
I didn't sleep too well last night. That was my fault as I spent too long online last night and I didn't turn in until 1:20am. So I could not remember any dreams when I woke up at 8am this morning. I did attempt the same technique that I have been doing for the past two night, but I had no luck. Better luck tonight I suppose. |
|
Again, turned in a bit too late last night, just past 1am. I did the same technique that I've been doing for the past few days. I did see some hypnagogic imagery, and I tried to focus on it in a relaxed manner. I still fell asleep without any lucid dreams, although I could recall more of my dreams than I did last night, so that's something. I woke up at 7:50am. |
|
I've been a bit lazy with the updates over the past couple of nights, although there has not been much to report. I turned in at a reasonable time on both nights, but I had to get up at 7am on Saturday morning so no time for DEILD's. I think last night my bpdy just wanted to recover from the previous day, so I slept soundly - probably too soundly to attempt lucid dreaming. I did manage to recall significant details of my dreams though. |
|
Success - two lucid dreams in one night! |
|
No such luck last night. I turned in at around 1am, which probably wasn't a good idea, and tried to do the same thing again with sleeping on my side. It didn't work - I think I was too tired. I think my body just wanted to recover from the workout I had done earlier in the day and couldn't spare the energy for lucid dreaming. That's my pet theory anyway. I woke up at 8am. |
|
Congrats on the lds! lmao when I read about you using the popular Xanous dream stabilization technique. Every once in a while I get bananas and do it as well. It's pretty funny although licking trash off the ground or dusty carpets isn't very appealing. |

The Full Xanous! |

Last night wasn't too successful. I turned in late 1:20am after having a pretty heavy meal a few hours earlier. My dreams were crazy, so recall was pretty good. I woke at 6am to use the toilet, then attempted WBTB, but lying on my left side. It wasn't successful as it just kept me awake. My body was working overtime trying to digest all the food I ate. I turned over and went to sleep. Dreams were still crazy though. I woke up at 8:20am. |
|
Last night I hardly slept at all. I made the mistake of eating too much sugar and trying to turn in at around 1am in the middle of a sugar rush. I think I got around 1-2 hours sleep last night, and I barely remember any dreams. |
|
I turned in at 1am last night, and to be honest, lucid dreaming wasn't high on my agenda after two nights of hardly any sleep. I just wanted to recover, and I slept soundly until I woke up at 8am. Dream was reasonably good. |
|
Turned in at a reasonable time of around 12:45am, and I slept soundly until around 8am. Dream recall was good although no lucidity. Lucid dreaming was not on the agenda for tonight - I just wanted to recover from the weekend. I should look to get back into it this week. |
|
Last night got back into my old routine of trying to induce a lucid dream, although I turned in a bit late at 1:20am. My dream recall was good is a bit patchy during last night and I woke up at 8:20am. No lucidity. |
|
I turned in a bit late at 1am, made an attempt at my usual technique, and then woke up at 7:30am with no lucid dreams. My recall was half-decent, although still a bit patchy. |
|
I turned in a bit too late last night at 1:15am and I barely remembered any of my dreams when I woke up at just before 3am. I attempted WBTB with no luck, and woke up again at around 7:30am. Fell asleep again and woke up at 8:30am. |
|
I turned in reasonably early at 12:45, and woke up again at 6:45am. I got up for about 10 minutes then attempted WBTB. No luck, although my dream recall is getting better. I woke up again at around 8:20am. |
|
I've been pretty busy for these last couple of days, hence the lack of updates, so I'm posting something now. |
|
Yesterday was also spent at the Crossfit gym, and I had the same experience but not with the lucidity this time. |
|
Last night I turned in at 12:45 and I slept through until around 6am when I woke up and attempted a DEILD. I did not manage any lucidity this time, but my dreams are still going crazy and my recall is still high. This is the third night after my crossfit experience, so I wonder how long this will go on for? |
