      Books:
      1) Dreams of Awakening by Charlie Morley (I like his spiritual approach to practice)
      2) Toltec Secret by Sergio Magana for a totally different apporach via Mexican spiritual methods.

      And.... Lucid Dream last night!! My first proper LD since starting practicing again. Lasted much longer than my previous LD as I remained very calm and not concerned about waking myself.
      - reasonably good control
      - did what I had planned to do to some extent
      - forgot to try to stabilise and increase lucidity so environment remained quite 'low definition' and dream like
      - I got caught up in what I was doing and lost concentration and focus and it reverted to a normal dream eventually and I lost lucidity

      Plan for next time: I really must try to increase lucidity, look around the environment, shout 'increase lucidity' and use tactile sense.

      very happy though that I have had a proper LD again at last so I will continue the day work remaining mindful and aware, and reality checking as often as possible.

      Books sound interesting. Do share if you come across something worth trying out.

      Congrats on the ld!

      Last night I wanted to try Jeff777's free falling WILD technique. My wife started snoring just as I got to some random thoughts, then my daughter had a nightmare, so no luck there! I woke at 4am but couldn't get comfortable and failed totally again.

      I had a nap this afternoon and tried again. I noticed one random thought but I fell asleep immediately after without getting any control. I then woke several times and was in a very deeply relaxed state (not FA, I failed an RC) and drifted off again several times like this, and drifted in and out of a few dreams. It was a good experience as I was floating between sleep and wake, never staying lucid within a dream, but each dream made me realise I needed to get control and I woke immediately each time I realised I was dreaming - so some progress!
      I got lucid, so no more silly signature.

      Back to work full time now. 14 hour days so always exhausted.
      Some interesting dreams. No luck with any more lucids abut an interesting hypnopompic state that I totally failed to turn into anything meaningful.

      Having difficulty doing reality checks at work I'm just so busy!

      Noo! Is it 14 every day or do you have days off or with less working hours.

      For RCing, there's always the toilet and upon entering rooms?

      It's not that bad, I enjoy work and my patients! Day off on Wednesday, weekends work about 1 in 4.

      Several more hynopompic states but I'm not quite realising it at the time. Need to work on gaining some concious control of them.

      This really is a long term project!
