Thread: BlueKat's Workbook (Intro Class)

The past several nights, I've not recorded any dreams because I haven't remembered any... I did see last night on DV about the buddy system so I will definitely sign up for that as I have NO ONE to talk to and it happens to be the ONLY thing I want to talk about! I didn't realize it was so esoteric but it is in my world unfortunately. Any thoughts? Thanks again. I appreciate your time.

That's good. Keep up the day work! It's important to make it a habit so that you can build a strong foundation. It takes a while but sooner or later these checks and critical thinking will start showing up in dreams. You can later (after you catch up on sleep) combine the daywork with night work - wbtb and any technique of your choice for even better results. Also, you can add MILD before bed time with minimal sleep disruption - think how you will realize that you are dreaming! If you're interested for more ideas like this let me know. You can also try to come up with your own techs - experiment and see if anything makes a difference.

Visualization is a great tech also, refering to your second post.
