BadAssLongCoat's Workbook.

[BadAssLongCoat]

So here I am! looking forward to learning from the best. Been reading up on the more technical areas of this and it has given me an idea of where I want to go with this, but for now: Reality Checks: #1. Drawing on hand, triangle pattern of three dots. X Can't get the pen to stay on my hand long enough. #2. Thumb through palm. X not for me. #3. Pinching (for places where discreet is good.) Currently the only thing proven for me. #4. I say to myself something like "If I were dreaming, I would be holding the Olympic torch!" #5. Fly/Levitate. #6. I have been practising general mindfulness at random times of the day and this seems to be getting me closer. #7. [update] Any RC on waking, has worked 2 out of 2 times in FAs in dreams so far. Dream Signs: -Elevators. [most recently 25/03/2016, killed my lucidity because I forgot to RC and stabilize] -Construction. -Girl In The Red Dress. [more sightings] Short Term Goals: #1. Gain control of my lucidity. [Progress:12%] #2. Lucid dream at least once per week (Days off work where an early morning isn't required may be my only chances so I feel this is a realistic maximum for the short term.) [Progress:35%] #3. Convince a DC they are inside my dream without them convincing me otherwise. [Progress: nearly did it 25/03/2016] #4. Summon things that I have imagined would be cool in real life. Long Term Goals: #1. Lucid dream on a regular basis (more than once a week). #2. Have a WILD #3. Attain near perfect dream recall. #4. Soul searching/there are some issues in my life I would like to cure that I know lie in my sub-conscience such as some addictions and other habits that make going further in life difficult. #5. Along side with #4, to become a better person and human being in general through the power of my subconscious. LD/ND Recall History: As a child I used to have random vivid NDs which developed into LDs as I started having nightmares, used to just wake myself but figured I didn't always have to. started resolving my nightmares and then did normal kid-stuff in my dreams. Lost it as I grew into teen years. Randomly through until now I could recall dreams, didn't use a DJ or any RCs. Current Technique: DILD (3 LD to date) Meditation. Dream Journal. B-6 and Tryptophan rich foods. Sunlight every day. Self-awareness and general mindfulness. Waking RCs, seem to be the most effective so far, time will tell. Thanks for having me guys! I hope that as I learn I will be able to share and pass on my experiences and knowledge with others here and IRL!
