I do want to know, though, if I'm supposed to be combining my RCs with DSs? I know my DSs but I'm not sure what to do with them during WL. Do I combine anything with my mantra? I feel like I'm doing RCs, Mantras, and focused awareness but maybe I'm not tying together things that need to be tied together. Just some thoughts.
I do a number of different combinations, sometimes all of them during the same day, at other times I switch from one combo to another. For example, I might repeat my general dreaming mantra during the day at any occasion I remember, including when looking at items. I could also include repeating while looking at DS though I don't have too many that actually appear in the flesh. Looking at the sky for instance could be a combination of mantra and DS for me. The other thing I do is to list DS and mantra on them again whenever I think about this. I.e. I see DS1, I realize I'm dreaming, I see DS2 I realize I'm dreaming. Kind of like a poem. I also have them on audio so I can play this whenever I remember too. You can also do this pre bed and during wbtbs and natural wakes.
Thanks. I do attempt WBTB and I have dreams but not LDs. I will try different times though. I am also incorporating SAT during the day now. The last WBTB I did yesterday morning and I laid there for 75 minutes. My body felt really heavy (sp?) and started to tingle a little bit, I had some HI in some shapes but it never formed into anything and then, I always get up. How long do I lie there? That was mid morning; after 7 hours sleep.
That's ok. If it drags for too long with no effect, just say your mantra for a min or so and try to fall asleep as usual. It may yield a DILD later on so not all is lost.
