Francium's Workbook

[Francium]

Francium's Workbook If I am not active (in general) for a few days without warning, you have my FULL permission and encouragement to send me an angry PM to get my act together. I will greatly appreciate it <3 Reality Checks: - Breathing through nose held closed - Pushing finger through hand - Observing my hands Dream Signs: - Being in/playing a video game or video game-like environment - Seeing/being around my brother or sister, or other family members - Seeing current/past romantic interests - Being in a dining hall - Being a leader/part of leadership for something (often a trip or backpacking) - Fighting, being in a battle/war of some sort - Playing/watching others play basketball - Biking on the street or on campus - Being in a library - Being in a dorm room Short-Term Goals: - Enroll in other classes - Gaining lucidity, it's currently been awhile - Developing and following a nightly and morning routine - Really practicing everything on my Things To Practice list - Recall and record 45+ dreams in July Long-Term Goals (in the next few months or by end of the year): - Recall and record 60+ dreams in one month - Have 5+ lucid dreams - Have full fledged super grounded lucidity - Keep up my lucidity practice and stay motivated and dedicated Goals for Next LD: - Significantly increase awareness and groundedness in dream - Fly into and through the sky and clouds Lucid/Dream Recall History: I have been recording my dreams for a few years now with on and off lucidity practicing and being focused on dreams/LD. I have had around 15 lucid dreams of varying lucidity, none with super intense and grounded absolute-control lucidity though. Even without having been too focused on it, I have been recording around 30 dreams a month, so I am very optimistic about getting that back up to 60+ (or more ) now that I am focused. Current Techniques: - DILD/ADA/SAT - MILD Things To Practice: Whenever possible, keep your heartbeat and breathing in awareness Two minute awareness breaks during the day Notice when I haven't been aware in awhile or have been lost in thought Write out one of your dream scenes each morning in a more detailed sentence/story form Each week analyze/categorize/tally your dreams from the week Basic Dream Yoga Nightly Routine: - Set up dream journal, then read your dreams from night before (think back if none last night) - Practice dream yoga (visual or tactile for now) - Relax, do 61 point meditation while also focusing on breathing/heart beats - Sitting up do dream incubation, start it off as non-lucid then slowly move into lucid - Lay down and continue dream incubating as you fall asleep - Perform latter part of routine whenever I wake up during the night after recording dreams Miscellaneous Things to Remember: Spoiler for Things that I read that really stood out or that I realized, and I want to keep where I can find easily: Awareness awareness awareness Two minute awareness breaks during the day Focus on your heartbeat and breathing Effort, Confidence, Experience Nose plug RC works even in the dark Be aware of the feeling of being awake When you wake up at night, lay still for a few moments but eventually sit up and become aware Be aware while on the computer, use your music to your advantage, notice when the song ends, what was playing? what's playing now? It's not about hoping that you'll lucid dream, KNOW and EXPECT it to happen exactly like when awake knowing that you'll be doing something in a certain amount of time
