Finally remembered a dream in full! Whoo! Don't know if it's because I finally have some semblance of a routine down, or because I got around 10 hours of sleep... No LD yet, but it's a start.
Notes on Last Night:
- Set alarms for 5:30, 7:30, and 9:00
- 10 min meditation before bed
- Went to bed at 12:45* (should sleep before 12... :/ )
- (Should have tried MILD but went directly to sleep instead)
- Woke up naturally a little before the 5:30 alarm. So my best time for a WBTB might be around 4 1/2 hours or so, since I take a while to fall asleep.
- Wrote down a few sentences, went to the bathroom, read a bit of Waggoner's book, and went back to sleep. I think I might have tried MILD/WILD then. Not sure. Mantras were "I realize I am dreaming a stable dream" and "I wake up after every dream and remember"
- 7:30 and 9:30 alarms wake me up. Little to no recall. Might have tried WILD, but failed.
- Woke up for the last time at 10:16. Remembered a dream vividly, wrote a few paragraphs down. Might have imagined the ending (I tend to continue dreams in my mind after I wake up), but I'll take what I can get.
- While writing down that dream, I remembered bits and pieces of previous dreams. Nice.
*Last night I stayed up late reading about lucid living. I'm not sure whether I grasp the concept fully yet, but it's an interesting topic, and I'll try to keep it in mind throughout the day.
What I should work on now, I think, is getting a decent amount of sleep during the week and keeping up with MILD, since I never really tested it out before. Maybe the mantras helped me with recall, who knows?
