Lucid/Dream (Recall) History/Experience:
I've tried for short periods in the past to induce lucid dreams, but the few I've had have only come via unconscious WBTB, usually in conjunction with nightmares and have lasted for only a matter of seconds. In my brief experience my level of dream control has seemed quite high, there has yet to be anything I've attempted while lucid that I've been unable to do, but my very limited experience hasn't afforded me the opportunity to try many things. Frequency is definitely something I need to improve, but stabilization is going to be key if I'm to get much out of this.
Current Technique:
- WBTB - DILD
It's the only thing that has worked for me in the past, so I figure it's a good place to start. I plan on setting the clock to wake me after 6 hours, as I tend to need about an hour to get to sleep. I figure using a mantra and some visualization before falling asleep initially can't hurt my chances, but the primary technique will be WBTB. I will write in my dream journal for 10-15 minutes upon waking up if I am able to recall any dreams. I can usually recall something, though it tends to be rather fragmented. I will have to work on achieving a better recollection.
