And there we have it. Number 3 already! I am going like a train! When I first got lucid, for like a second, I started to show more interest in it. Then I found DV and I started to take it more seriously. All in all it took me 9 days to get from that first taste of a LD to get my first real LD. Then it took me only 7 days to get the second, and now I had my 3rd only 5 days after the last one. Thank you DV, your teachings are working

Aside from that, I am still keeping up my meditation. That is going not too bad. And I wrote down a little less details this time in my DJ. I'm not sure whether I like that yet. Time will tell. Lastly I slept with my blinds closed for the first time. I was wondering if I would wake up less if I do that. But it turns out it doesn't affect much so far. I woke up around the same times I have been these last 3 weeks. 5 Dreams recalled is pretty good I'd say. I did one WBTB as well for the first time. Since I was too hyped after I woke up from my lucid. All the dreams after that were really vivid I have to say.

I have this new idea I want to try. Instead of doing a regular RC I want to have one word. It will guide me through all the steps I need to take to see if it is indeed a dream. And if it is, what to do next. Because it doesn't stop after the RC. I want to do some stabilization and awareness before I start doing anything. And then I need to step back a bit and think about what my goals are.

So far I have come up with: RESI
Relax/Reality check ; Very important to do both before anything else.
Enjoy ; Although I do admit I added this to make it a little catchier, it is never a bad idea to start a dream with a smile on your face.
Stabilize ; Take some time to do some awareness and stabilize the dream
Intent ; Take a step back and think about what my intentions are from this dream. What do I want to do?

I might fiddle with the name a bit. See if I can make up something better. And then I will start to practice it. Think RESI(or whatever it will become) before every RC. And every now and then, visualize that it does work and go through all the steps. I want to have a very clear idea of what RESI is and what I should do. Just like RC's it has to be burned into my memory, so that when I become Lucid I will only have to think RESI and then realize what I should be doing. If I can get it to a point where I always start with that, I think it will help the quality of the LD greatly.

That is all I have to say for today!

To the Dream Cave!
