Hello there again!
Just checking in for a quick update while procrastenating my homework :panic:. Since I've started school I've just been rolling in from one thing to another with very little time to spare. This week I finally expect to be completely on top of things once again. So I can start to think a little bit more about lucid dreaming. I know I should at least be keeping a DJ, but it's really hard to find motivation with all the stress that comes from my personal life and school work that keeps piling up. So, I'll start again once I am back up to speed with everything :)
On a more happy note, university lectures are very interesting and fun:D It's worth the effort:lol:
That's about all I have to say for now. Back to homework!
I'll most likely report back in a week!

Hi Thom! My name is Cordelia. I'm very new to this site and your post was one of the first I read that captured my attention. Your dream experiences seem very similar to mine. I, too, am trying to learn how to LD better and learn to control my dreams. I wanted to know which RC's work best for you. Do you have any tips to give to a newbie? :) Thanks!

MrPriority, you don't need to spend a lot of time writing things down. Just take 5 mins to quickly tag the key points and you can review the rest of the dream in your mind. That way you are still journalling and training your memory. :)

@Cordelia
Hey there! Nice to see that you read my workbook!:D Yeah, my goal has always been to get high quality and quantity LD's rather than any specific thing to do in the dream. I always figure I can do all the fun things when I get more and better LD's :p But, I've been finding lately that having a clear goal of something you want to do (preferrebly something that takes a while) can lengthen the LD as well:) So I wonder if I have to adjust my philosophy, hehe.
To answer your question: The nosepick is my favourite by far. It has almost never failed me, and when it did it was more sloppyness on my part that caused it :P. It's easy and fast and you can do it everywhere. People will just think you are scratching your nose ;) Though I have to add that I think the attitude when you RC is way more important than the RC itself. It doesn't really matter what you do, it matters that you take a moment to question reality. That you also remind yourself for a bit that dreams exist and you could be in it. And to realise for a second how you get caught up in living so much that you forget about so many other things. It creates an awareness. And that is far more valuable than just pluggin your nose:cheeky:
@NyxCC
Yeah... I know... In fact I probably have enough time to do solid journaling. I'm just slacking, haha. :cheeky: Ugh, you are right once again. I need to step it up! Stop making excuses! Just do it!

RAAGGH I'M HYPED NOW!:panic:
I'm gonna dream a crap load tonight! And then I'm gonna journal the crap outta them in the morning! :evil:

Wow, not sure how to reply again after that last one, lol. First of all, Happy new year! Hope you've been doing well! And I hope you don't mind me dusting of my old little workbook over here.
So I'm back :) Have been for a while now actually, but I've been putting off working on LDing. I found that the chatroom is very nice nowadays and I often spend time there (You should totally come too :P). I also joined the competition, even though I got really busy these 2 weeks, so not sure how that's gonna work out. But I hope I will get the time to break my dry spell and have a good time :)
Other than that I am putting my focus towards meditation. I find myself more and more interested in mindefulness meditation. So for now I will be doing that mostly. I hope it will give me more awereness. Besides that I also hope to get my recall up at least a little bit. Still trying to find a way that I don't just get fed up with writing it down after a week or 2.
Well, I'm done putting my thoughts into paper for now. I'll be checking in every now and then with an update I think, while I start up my LDing efforts again.

Happy New Year Mr. Priority! It's good to see you back! :D
