Thread: Flightless204's Workbook

Congrats on the lds, flightless! It might help to come up with and review your goals for the next ld before going to bed. That way, when the ld comes, you will be sure to fully utilize your time.

No more lucid dreams, but I did have some pretty exciting regular dreams. I dreamt that my best friend and I were fighting off the animatronics from Five Nights At Freddy's! The other day my sister gave me one of her journals that she never wrote in and I decided that I would use it as my new dream journal, since my other one was kind of small and hard to write in, and I've had it for 3 years. Plus I was reading an article on dream journaling the other day and decided I should probably be writing down more in my dream journal, like how many hours of sleep I got, when I do WBTB's etc. Also updating my goals more often. In other news, even after just updating this workbook once, I've been a lot better at sticking to my routine the past two days! I've been remembering to practice awareness and do reality checks more often, and I've done my meditation both days. I'm actually excited to get back into the swing of things instead of saying 'Oh I'll do it tomorrow'... for two weeks

Not much to report today, but I wanted to post something because it's keeping me motivated! Last night I had a false awakening and I dreamt I was trying to fall asleep again so I could have a lucid dream *facepalm*

Last night I remembered my dreams in more detail than usual, and two of them, I felt like I might have known on some level that I was dreaming! In one, I was practicing flying around my house. At first I was really good at it, but then I landed to help my friend with something and I couldn't get back off the ground! Then in the second one, I was surrounded by wolves, and I was nervous that they might hurt me, but I remember thinking something along the lines of, they can't hurt me, I can make them go away. I'm taking this as a good sign! Even having these kinds of dreams gets me excited, because it's like a taste of the real thing!

^^ Definitely a good sign! Keep up the good work!

So last night I woke up at 4:30 and went back to sleep repeating to myself 'I will have a lucid dream' and I did! It was still only semi-lucid. My brother was telling me that our dad needed us to wake up as it was 6:45, time to get up for school. I don't have a brother in real life, but in the dream I was convinced I did! I started hearing noises, like someone taking a shower and blow-drying their hair. I awoke into a false awakening, and when I walked into the hall, there were pictures hung up of people I didn't even know, but I never realized I was still dreaming. When I did wake up, it was only 6:15 and no one else in my house was up yet. Anyway, this dream was very vivid though, and I got to try some waterbending and flying, although it didn't work very well. One part of the dream was quite interesting, I was by a lake, and I tried to fly. I jumped up and started pedaling my feet like I was on a bike. I think I remember doing this in some other non-lucid dreams years and years ago, and it worked pretty well. When I jumped up though, I fish jumped out of the water at the same time, and started flapping it's fins like it was trying to fly too. We both kind of just slowly sunk back to the ground though. Also last night I revisited a childhood dream of mine where I was at my elementary school, and the stairs were like monkey bars and I was terrified I was going to fall, but this time the dream took place at my high school. So overall, last night was pretty interesting. Oh and before I go, I think I figured out why I can't get fully lucid. I've been completely forgetting to stabilize! I always seem to come up with an excuse not to do it usually something like, oh I already know it's a dream, so I don't need to! Anyway, so in the next lucid dream I'm going to remember that I HAVE to stabilize!

These sound like awesome dreams, congrats flightless! The flying fish must have been quite a sight.

Yup lol. Not sure if it was really trying to fly or if it was just making fun of me for not being able to

Ok ok so I haven't disappeared I just have had so much to do with school and everything else I've had no time to post. Things have been going well, last night I had four dreams that I remembered in extreme detail! It's 10:30 right now and I need to go to bed, but I'll post an updated goal list tomorrow.

April Goals!

-Write in Dream Journal every day
-Meditate 5 times a week
-Record 8 dreams per week
-Have at least 2 or 3 lucid dreams

Dream Goals:
-Remember to stabilize!
-Do the running TOTM (Basic ii I believe)
-Fly!!! Something I've always dreamed of doing!

One more thing I wanted to say! I've been realizing lately that since I started remembering my dreams really well, I've begun to wake up in the morning feeling like I've gone on a crazy adventure! It's pretty fun!

^^ Dreaming is an adventure.

I feel like I don't have much to say lately, but I've been having trouble remembering reality checks lately. However I think tomorrow I'll try using MILD cues and see how it goes!
