Thread: SenrPF's Workbook

Well, today it has been better than yesterday, but, as expected, lack of sleep the previous day has meant that I have slept deeper and has been a bit harder to remember my dreams and WBTB has not had much chance of success...

I keep working...

in the coming days I'll see if I make a little recapitulation and prepare a more concrete action plan, because right now I'm a little disorganized...

Ok. Here I go...

... again!

Work plan for the coming days:

1) Sufficient sleep. This seems to be going well, plus I keep a routine to go to sleep that is usually always the same. This requirement, I think, is followed correctly.

2) Relaxation and meditation during the day. I will use a scheduler to do every day at least 10 minutes.

3) Be more aware of what happens inside (inside me) and externally during the day.

4) See DV forums regularly.

5) Do not obsess and be patient. I must practice regularly, as physical exercise, also taking days off. If one day is not trained for whatever reason, nothing happens, if done regularly and consistently at the end will produce results.

6) When go to sleep: breathe calm and relaxed, focus on the back of the head, repeat "I remember my dreams". So to achieve the highest level of tranquility and relaxation, the higher, the better. Silence the inner dialogue.

7) After about 4 hours of sleep, wake up, get up and go to the bathroom. Back to bed and again make the point 6.

8) On weekends and holidays repeat step 7 several times.



I continue to report in the coming days!

Today I am a little sick, I'm cold.

During the night I've had several episodes of waking abruptly because I could not breathe very well.

It has not been a very productive night...

During the day I'm starting to realize the plan that I have proposed, but at night I think I will not be able to do much until I feel better of this annoying cold!

These last days I do not feel very good about my cold.

I can hardly do the points of my plan of action. I'm tired, I sleep very fast and deep, I can not breathe very well...

Anyway, I think I'm getting better already and I hope to move forward in the coming days!

Wish you a quick recovery!

Very cool avatar by the way.

In the last days I have not been very inspired about my dreams. Because of the cold I've been I have not slept well and I'm still recovering. Overall I'm pretty tired and is difficult for me to wake up. I do not remember my dreams, I can just write down anything in my diary ...

On the other hand, I am doing meditation exercises regularly and continuously. I am more aware of what happens around me and inside me. I'm being more aware of the process that happens when I fall asleep, this is important to me.

Now I must improve my dream recall, I must also control and improve the process before falling asleep, make WBTB and be aware of the process of falling asleep trying to capture the moment of transition to dream, if I have awakened from a dream and I remember it, I try to get back into that dream.

In general I am following well the script I raised a few days ago...

I'm going to improve in the coming days! I hope...

I think it was a good idea to have participated in the competition Spellbee2 (besides, I think he has done a great job!).

It has helped me to draw some interesting conclusions:

* I must improve my Dream Recall and make it as constant as possible.
* I see the results they have achieved some of the participants and it seems to me that is fantastic the levels that can be reached, which serves me as incentive to keep working harder and better in terms of my dreams.

I'm improving on the ability to explore the moments before falling asleep , I'm also better in meditation and also improves my Dream Recall although I still have not connected at all , and there are gaps in my memories of dreams, but I have better level now and more self confidence.

I'm still working on it!

Hello again!

In recent days I have not been able to write here, but I continued with my practices and, yes, I've been writing in my journal and doing several things!

As for the points I set out to make, I can say that I am doing pretty well, I'm sleeping enough hours, I'm doing meditation regularly and quite well, which leads me to think I'm a little more aware of myself. In some of the days when I could meditate longer and with a better result, after a while I noticed a "tingling" and some vibration in the central area of my forehead between the eyebrows . I do not know if there will be any relation or if it`s a mere coincidence...

I keep visiting DV regularly, but now I participate less for lack of free time. I am calm, without stress, and I started writing a diary in which I collect everything I do, the consequences it may have on my dream experiences, what I have to do, analyze all the information as best I can and gradually I'm having new experiences that I think are very useful for me.

On weekends, when I have some more time to sleep, I'm doing WBTB and when I go back to bed I perform the techniques of book of M. Raduga (The Phase) that on other occasions have served well to me, in fact, last weekend I had a FA when using this technique and although not reach lucidity, I think that indicated that I am on the right track.

As for the days of work, I'm still doing the breathing technique to calm down the most, focus on my mantra and silence my inner voice. The better I do the better chance I have to get some "special" dream. Yesterday, for example, I had one of those "special dreams", but in this case was a terrifying nightmare: I was on an elevator in which I want to move up, but when I pressed the button to go up, the elevator began to go up and then fell very quickly below ground level, the third attempt fell so fast I felt an irrational fear that made me wake up! Despite this terrifying experience, that I already know well, because it has occurred to me several times, it seems that such dreams are related to OBE and fear I feel is normal and I'll have to overcome it little by little. Then, later in the night, in another REM cycle on which I perform the same technique I had a dream in which I moved to my living room and then outside my house (this time the dream was more pleasant and did not end in nightmare!)

In short, I think I'm going back to make progress. I hope I can continue on this path and see what happens...

Good job keeping up the practices, SenrPF! About those special dreams, would you say you had more awareness during them?

Unfortunately, I think not!

In general, if it's a nightmare, fear dominates me and all I can do is wake up...

Anyway, I think it is related to the technique that I do before I fell asleep, the more I get silence my inner voice, and more relaxed and calm I get to be, I have more chances to bring more awareness to my dreams and therefore have more chance of success.

Any suggestion is welcome...

That sounds like a good technique, keep it up.

Regarding the scary dreams, I find it helps to repeat to oneself that when such a situation occurs you will not be afraid and run away. You will be calm and relaxed because the situation is totally under your control. It may sound simple and self explainatory which is why we never even bother to try repeating this to ourselves. I know it works and can absolutely be achieved if you put your determination into it.

Thanks NyxCC!

I will try to incorporate the indications you have given me to my work routine...

...And I'll tell you what result I have!

After about six hours of sleep, I woke up remembering a dream, I was lying on my back, I concentrated on my breathing and on the back of my head, almost immediately hypnagogic images appeared, they were very clear and I began to noticing vibrations in the head, then I have directed my attention to the vibrations and they have disappeared, I have woken up and I had to get up...

Good to see you back, SenrPF!

Glad to see you here, NyxCC!

I woke up around 4 a.m., and went to the bathroom, when I came back to bed I started thinking about things that were overwhelming and I couldn't do the technique well , there have been no good results . I have written down a couple of dreams...

Seems like I've had a couple of bad sleep nights... Tonight around 3 a.m. I woke up and wrote down a dream, then about 6 a.m. I woke up and tried to concentrate on breathing, but I couldn't, I was hot, the noises of my dog and my wife bothered me and the light of dawn also made me feel uncomfortable... I haven't been able to do much, see if I improve in the next few days...

Last night I got a good concentration before I fell asleep , again this caused a very interesting dream, I have to continue on that line and try to do it at the other times when I wake up at night.

I went to bed a little earlier, the first concentration when I went to sleep was not very good, that caused there to be no memories at first , however around 6 a.m. I woke up with a dream and was able to do the concentration again , this time it was better and generated an almost lucid dream! (Here is the dream) I must continue in the same line, it seems that this works...

Again, around 6 a.m., I woke up with a dream and was able to concentrate again, it generated an interesting dream in which I bathed and submerged myself in the sea. These kinds of dreams always scared me, they turned into nightmares and I ended up waking up, but now it seems that fear doesn't appear and I control the situation. Tonight the concentration was not very good, I must improve in that aspect because I think it will give me better results...

The same procedure is repeated and an interesting dream reappeared in which I got into an elevator and instead of moving vertically I moved horizontally. At some point when I woke up, I was doing some concentration again and I had the feeling that my body was moving (although it wasn't), my feet were coming off the bed and coming up.

I went to bed at the usual time, the first concentration when I went to sleep was good and a nightmare occurred again in the first cycle (this is when the most interesting results occur). Later there were memories of several dreams that I was able to write down, I couldn't get my concentration right again, although all the dreams were interesting with symbology of movement, famous people and places from my own home.
The better the concentration, the better the results. I'm going to try to improve on that procedure by trying to practice during the day and then making an effort of intention to do it every moment of the night that I wake up...

In recent days I have suffered from quite annoying back pain , I have not been able to do much, just write down some dreams... When I get better in the next few days I will return to my practices...
