Thread: werty52's Workbook

I re-read the SSILD tutorial and found a few differences, but after attempting it I didn't yield any results. One attempt isn't enough but I decided to focus on the DEILD challenge for now. If I'm going to have a lucid dream then it should be a DEILD hence why I've started intensive DEILD attempts during the night (about 8 alarms 15 minutes apart after 4-5 hours of sleep).

My dream recall dropped a bit after a few rough nights and my sleeping pattern shifted by about 2 hours (waking at 9am instead of 7am). I found myself caring less about getting lucid and instead just really enjoying these normal dreams I've been having lately. They just seem so awesome and more eventful, and also so vivid and detailed. I'm not overly focused on my lucid dry spell, but it's still confusing me - I definitely don't see normal dreams as failures though.

I've been slacking off with ADA and DY over the past few days and my motivation has declined which is probably related to this dreary grey weather we've had non-stop for nearly 2 weeks. Gimme sun!... But from this I've found the trick for me to have a highly aware day is to jump into mindfulness meditation related practices in the early morning. So from now on I'd like to set a more dedicated time of attaining that alert state, probably before I hop on the computer in the morning to write up my DJ. And also waking up earlier in the morning really makes me more aware too.

So I guess my focus is for now:
- Wake up at 6-7am again
- Do mindfulness meditation after breakfast or after journaling my dreams
- Spend less time reading my books, as I've nearly finished 4 books in 4 days

Something about not having enough free time..
