I was able to recall 3 dreams and one fragment last night. I remembered one dream both times I WBTB and another one when I got up for good. I remembered the fragment when I was logging my dreams in my dream journal. I remembered a lot more than I thought I would be able to, one dream was very long and took up two full pages of my dream journal (a wide ruled composition notebook).
I didn't have any success with getting lucid ,but I was able to visualize some and imagine myself as lucid to try to MILD. I need a lot of work on my visualization skills, though. I had a really hard time imagining any scenes in detail ,and I kept shifting in and out of first person view. I wasn't able to keep myself looking in a first person perspective for longer than a few seconds. I started working on Sivason's dream yoga visualization training last night to try to improve it. Another problem I had was trying to fall asleep while visualizing and doing mantras for MILD. It didn't bother me too bad when I first went to sleep ,but both times I WBTB I had trouble falling back asleep after doing it. It took me close to an hour to fall asleep after the second time I WBTB. I'm not sure if the alarms woke me up too much or if the stuff for MILD kept me awake, but I'll probably try to stay away from WBTB(at least with alarms) on normal days. I'm going to start trying to use the water WBTB method and try to find some good relaxation techniques to see if they'll help.
