Thread: Noell's Workbook

So I thought it was about time that I made a workbook. After all, I came to this website looking for support from lucid dreamers so that I won't give up again. Every day I want to feel obligated to practice awareness and question reality, and I hope that having to recount these events in here with encouragement will let me reach my goals.

Reality Checks:
- Look at hands
- Examine and question surroundings

Dream Signs:
-A new place I've never been to before
- Water
- School/college
- My boyfriend's mom (whom I've never met)
- My sister
- My loved ones dying (especially my sister)
- Strong emotions

Short-Term Goals:
-Complete the bonus TOTM for May
- Have a second lucid dream
- Talk with a DC
- Fly
- Explore the dream world

Long-Term Goals:
- Have a lucid dream every night
- Meditate consistently
- Improve general awareness and self-awareness
- Get enough sleep (i.e., get homework done early ^^")
- Be able to share lucid dream experiences with other DV members on the forums
- Read some books about LD (like Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming & The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep)

Lucid/Dream Recall History:
- I can usually recall 1-2 dreams each night fairly well, and recently there has been a brief moment of near-lucid clarity in some of them.

Current Technique:
- I got my one and only lucid dream with the SSILD technique in the morning after a long night's sleep. I think it's also a good technique for falling asleep peacefully, in general.
- I would like to have LDs using DILD or maybe MILD, but I usually fall asleep so quickly that I can't spend enough time on MILD.
-I expect that by consistently practicing awareness and self-awareness, my dreams will become more lucid.
