I like the way that you think!

That's why it's so important not to drop everything and even in times of stress maintain a little practice.
Yes, I keep going from thinking that I have somehow permanently re-wired my brain for lucidity and then being reminded that it takes regular effort. One can dream, haha.

Speaking of practices, what does your daytime, nighttime routine currently include?
Day

My core daytime practices are what I remember as CRRCIS or C - RRC - RC - C - I - S.

C=clear light, an idea I got from Liddybug's clear light thread that involves seeing myself from outside of myself which seems to strengthen self-awareness
RRC= a la Sageous
RC= reality check
C clear light again
I= I am he who is aware…I am he who is aware of the awareness
S= Stop, really stop and look around

I periodically mix in other things to keep my practices from feeling stale, like:

The Open Beta Exercises posted on here by Chris Vondermehden (cvmehden I think is username), particularly exercises 4A and 4B.

Simulating an RC showing I am dreaming and then becoming lucid.

Release technique for instant presence and awareness which has some side exercises I have come up with (release + little, release - clear view)



Night (middle of night/WBTB)

Primarily:

WBTB and alternate some nights using MILD and some nights using SSILD
MILD is primarily visualizing my boldness dream sign

Sometimes:

playing with what I call weirdness induction for quickly changing brain chemistry it seems, but I still stay up longish anyway

quick refocus on self-awareness using CRRCIS above

quick open beta exercise
