SenrPF's Workbook

Day 14

No nap in the afternoon.
Go to bed at 23:45, wake up at 6:45 with alarm.
I do not remember any dreams, only small fragments... :(

At first I struggled to fall asleep, my head was full of ideas that came and went and did not stop, I could not focus on repeat my mantra and this caused me some anxiety and after a while I fell asleep.
I could barely remember anything, just some vague memories, some famous people reappeared.

I think is a good idea what NyxCC said: I will amend my list of Dreamsigns. I'll put color in the current ones and add new... :)

Day 15

Short nap in the afternoon.
Go to bed at 23:45 and wake up at 6:45 with alarm.
Theta binaural listen for five minutes before bed and repeating my mantra.
Remembered one dream.

In this dream appear my aunt and my sister, and again I have some control over situation. Also appears my dog.

In the waking state happens that I control everything pretty well, but I'm not aware of what happens in general and my behavior is like a zombie... :? I think it's clear what happens in my dreams... :P

I'm still at work! :)

Have you read about the ADA technique, it helps increase awareness during the day and the critical mindset and awarness is also very helpful for lucid dreaming. Here is the link:

Note for the technique - you actually don't need to be aware of everything, every single moment, but simply pay more attention when doing things. :P

Thanks again! I start to read... :)

Day 16

No nap in the afternoon.
Go to bed at 23:55, wake up at 6:45 with alarm.
One dream remembered.

As usual, a famous appeared and struck me some of her stuff... ;)

I begin to read about ADA... :)

Day 17

Short nap in the afternoon (15 minutes).
Go to bed at 23:45, wake up at 6:45 with alarm.
Three dreams remembered. False Awakening! :happy:

Tonight I managed to concentrate properly on my mantra and I counted from 1 upwards... Whenever this occurs, shortly after (between 30 and 60 minutes) I have some "special" dream and tonight have been several consecutive False Awakenings.
I've noticed that: when I concentrate properly and my inner voice is silenced before falling asleep, I get results! And I can remember more dreams. :goodjob2:

However, it also has some drawbacks. The first is that while I wake up and write down what I dreamed, the next morning the remembrance is very weak and I am unclear what actually happened... :uhm:
Moreover, if I perform the same operation during the last hours of sleep it doesn't work! But I think it should be more effective at that time... :confused:

I'll try to think about it and try to find a solution... :smartie:

In the other dreams, the usual Dreamsigns appeared again, but I could not recognize them... :(

Day 18

Again, short nap in the afternoon (15 minutes).
Go to bed at 00:05, wake up at 6:45 with alarm.
One dream remembered.

Tonight I was feeling pretty tired. I repeated my mantra a few times and fell asleep quickly. Memories of dreams have been poor.
Happened again, I managed to avoid a nightmare and escape someone chasing me... And again, I did not realize... :huh2:

Day 19

No nap in the afternoon.
Go to bed at 23:50 and wake up at 7:30, without alarm.
One dream rememberd.

The night has been low activity, I did not concentrate very well on my mantra and only a dream remembered clearly at the beginning of the night and after only remember a few fragments with a celebrity... :|

Do you think about lucid dreaming when going for a nap? This might be a nice opportunity to ld. Maybe repeat the lucid related mantra for a short while before napping if this is possible. :)

Ok! I'll try next time! :okbyenow:

Day 20

No nap in the afternoon.
Go to bed at 00:48 and wake up at 7:30, without alarm.
One dream rememberd.

As in previous days, dreams with some Dreamsigns I still do not recognize...
I think I could really do some prospective memory exercises to help me to remember to recognize my Dreamsigns! :)

Day 21

One hour nap in the afternoon! :shock: One dream remembered with my dog.
Go to bed at 23:55 and wake up at 6:45 with alarm.
Two dreams remembered and some vague memories of other.

Again some Dreamsigns, and one of the dreams was curious because I dreamed I was looking for a book that explain to me how to have paranormal powers and the place I looked had the same appearance as the DV Forum... ;) This seems to me a good sign! :)

Reviewing the situation after 3 weeks

So far, after 3 weeks, I have reviewed the information in the Intro Class and the lessons I - IV. I have read the courses of DILD and WILD.
I am systematically doing RC, between 12 and 15 times per day. I have improved the performance of these RC, I made ​​them before without having an adequate level of consciousness, automatically like a zombie... Now I stop the activity I'm doing, look at my hand and count fingers, I hold my nose and check to see if I can breathe, I make a brief review of the activities I've done before and what I plan to do next, and finally, I try to stop my inner voice and check my senses what I hear, I see, etc, also try to do two or three deep breaths and try to be aware of myself.

Some days, though not all, listen sessions of isochronic or binaural sounds of various types and at night before going to sleep too.

Before going to bed, I check almost every day my dream journal and do a little review of what I've done during the day.

Once in bed, I recite a mantra along with a count of 1 onwards. Also when I wake up in the middle of the night trying to do this process, although it depends on if I'm too groggy...

I remember dreams well and generally in some detail, except dreams and events that appear in the first few hours of sleep of which I have no clear recollection.
The Dreamsigns continuously appear on all dreams.

The occasions on which I have focused on my mantra properly, before falling asleep, I've had more interesting experiences.

I have started to make prospective memory exercises to try to recognize my Dreamsigns.
I must make more effort in the use of mantra before falling asleep and stay focused on those moments. I must enhance the ability to do just that during long naps.

I'm still working ... :)

Great review SenrPF! Keep up the good work! :goodjob2:

Day 22

Day of rest! :)
I was tired because I had a pretty busy day!

I have only slight memory of some dreams...

Tomorrow more! :sheepishgrin:

Day 23

No nap in the afternoon.
Go to bed at 00:08 and wake up at 6:45 with alarm.
Two dreams remembered and small pieces of other...

In the first a celebrity appears again, with some details that catch my attention...
I have started to do some prospective memory exercises, one of them is that when I look in a mirror I do a RC. Tonight on the other dream I remember, I was shaving me and, obviously, I looked in the mirror ... ;-)

Day 24

No nap in the afternoon.
Go to bed at 23:40 and wake up at 6:45 with alarm.
Two dreams remembered.

This week I have a few very busy days and my level of recall of dreams is a little lower... :(

I hope to improve in the coming days... :)

Day 25

No nap in the afternoon.
Go to bed at 00:05 and wake up at 6:45 with alarm.
One dream remembered.

Certainly, this week is being a bit complicated and this is reflected in my dream experiences. My level of dream recall is lower and do not get much progress... :(

I'll put counters on each Dreamsigns to see those that appear more often and do more RC's with these.

Day 26

I've been away from home for the weekend. The routine has changed and I've had fewer memories of my dreams.

I have done my prospective memory exercises and I made RC, but not regularly.

Regular Dreamsigns have come back in my dreams and especially those related to dogs (it's one of the triggers that I use in prospective memory exercises)... ;)

Day 27

Similar to Day 26

Day 28

Back home! :)

No nap in the afternoon.
Go to bed at 23:40 and wake up at 6:45 without alarm.
Three dreams remembered.

The days I've been away I found it hard to remember my dreams, but when I came home my memories have been enhanced! :)
Dreamsigns appear again, especially dogs.
In one of the dreams there were fireworks and I don't know why I didn't want to watch them (?)

In another dream featured a person I know for my job, long time no see him, I met him on the street a week ago and now appears in my dream ... (?)

I'm reading with great interest the thread that Nailler started on prospective memory... :ohyahbaby:

Day 29

15 mintues nap in the afternoon.
Go to bed at 23:50 and wake up at 6:50 with alarm.
Two dreams remembered.

Dreamsigns have not appeared tonight, at least as clearly as on previous nights... :uhm:

I'm still working... :)

Great idea to count the dream signs and pay more attention to the ones that appear more often. :)

Day 30

15 mintues nap in the afternoon.
Go to bed at 00:08 and wake up at 6:50 with alarm.
Two dreams remembered and small pieces of other.

Dreamsigns have reappeared, especially my dog ​​and other dogs.
I'm regularly doing my prospective memory exercises and I'm improving in its realization. One of the triggers I use are, precisely, dogs and I think that now appear more often on my dreams. ;) I'm doing these exercises according to the book of S. Laberge (EWOLD) and his course on lucid dreaming, I've even made ​​a spreadsheet in Google Drive to keep track of the results. :goodidea:

I'm following with great attention the thread that started Nailler about MILD and reading the posts of other users I'm learning things that I find very, very interesting! :goodjob:

One of the dreams was again a nightmare occurred in the first sleep cycle (in this first cycle always "special" dreams occur), and again I somehow controlled the situation, although in this case the result has been that I woke up. :|

Day 31

No nap in the afternoon. Was a busy day.
Go to bed at 00:30 and wake up at 7:30, no alarm.
One dream remembered.

It's been a pretty busy day and at night has not been very productive ... :wtf:
