I see. Do you keep both your dream goals as well as the monthly ld count loose then?

If you don't have a concrete dream goal - how do you go about the moment you become lucid, is it more of a free styling dream control or you try to reach for some of your general long term goals?

To update: I've scored an ld Saturday and had some awareness moments today (but too undefined to call lucid). So far it's 1/5 in terms of target lds. My perception during the dream wasn't quite clear. I can't say I'm very surprised as I was having what feels like focus issues due being tired/overworking in general. I'll try not to overdo it the following week, despite having a few extra projects running in addition to our normal workload.

The focus for this week should be again to work on strenghtening the daily practices and introduce minimal night practices at bed time and hopefully during natural wakes.
