Thread: Dreamingaze's Workbook

Well, I am still feeling frustrated. Fact is, I have a lot going on in my life that is taking up mental space. I feel like I just can't quite get my energy/motivation level up to that magic threshold that worked so well for me last year. I'm not sure if my previous success is a motivator or an obstacle at this point.

In any case, I did have a BRIEF moment this morning that feels like a baby step in the right direction. Inspired by Daniel Love, I have the word "Dream" tattooed on my inner forearm as a permanent reality check. Somewhere in my sleepy haze this morning, I dreamed I did a reality check on my arm. I looked at "Dream," looked away and willed it to change, then looked back and it said something else. I recall feeling surprised and realizing that my state check proved I'm dreaming, but I don't remember what happened after that. I probably woke up since I think I was in a really light sleep, having slept in much later than usual. In writing this now, I do realize this is a success, but I want more!

Trying to figure out...what's it gonna take......

Hi, dreamingaze!
I'm in pretty much the same boat as you. Trying to get back into the LD routine, and it's not easy. Especially with diet change, I think I might be experiencing the same thing. I've had LD's in the past, and that fact makes it even more frustrating now that I'm having a hard time getting in touch with my subconscious. Patience is the key, I think...

I've thought about getting a RC tattoo as well, and it's great that it seems it will work for you! Was this the first time you were able to RC with the tattoo in a dream?

Hi Anachronist! I do believe this was the first time I actually dreamed the RC tattoo. When I first got it back in 2014, the main thing it did for me was keep me focused. Although I am a tattooed person anyway, the act of getting the RC done in such a permanent way on my body was a very clear way of communicating to my sub/unconscious that I am "all in" and committed to building a bridge between my waking ego-Self and my unconscious. I like having a powerful RC wherever I go since other handy things like digital clocks are not always available. I am a huge fan of Carlos Castaneda, so using my hands as he recommended has been a comfortable go-to, but there's something more powerful about the written word...especially when it's tattooed right on my arm.

And yes, patience is the key....I'm really trying to remind myself that I CAN DO THIS because I had amazing success before....which means I can do it again.
