Timespace's workbook

Hi! I'm an ex-natural, but I stopped dreaming after years of sleep deprivation. (not anymore!)
I practiced LDing for 2 weeks before finding DreamViews (spoiler: best source out there

), so that's my 3rd week.
Nice to meet you all!

Reality Checks:
- Looking at a scar in my pinky that seems like the number '4' (I imagine it changing into a 7)
- Counting my fingers
- Analysing my hand
- Remembering what I did since I woke up in reverse order
- Trying to look for out-of-place things

Dream Signs:
- Watching videos
- Parties (I'm not a party guy, but I seem to dream a lot about it)
- My job/coworkers (I love my job, so my coworkers appear in the majority of my dreams)
- My brother (he's living far away)

Short-Term Goals:
- Getting my average dream recal to 3+/night
- Remembering to completely stabilize an LD & do constant RCs
- Succesfully incubating a dream
- Waking up naturally after a dream using MILD
- Translating my pen & paper DJ to DreamViews DJ

Long-Term Goals:
- Consistently getting 3+ LDs/week
- WILDing 2 times in one week
- DEILD chaining 3 times
- Having a completely lucid 10min dream with full control

Lucid/Dream Recall History:
- Inconsistent dream recall. Sometimes I recall 5 dreams, and then don't remember any for 3 nights.

Current Technique:
- DILD (lots of RCs and my version of ADA)
- Just started MILD (mantras during the day & incubation before bed)
- 2 WBTB + SSILD or WILD

4 interesting things happened:
- My WBTB alarms didn't wake me up, but I woke up naturally anyways (which is weird since I sleep like a rock). Maybe my body's getting used to WBTBs.
- I had a frustrating dream where I was trying to WILD but there was a bookshelf getting in the way. Then, during my dream vibrations, I got too excited and woke up, just to remember I have no bookshelf above my bed... =/
- Then, I had the best lucid dream to date!

I don't remember the start of the dream or how I got lucid, but I do remember that I didn't do anything interesting before that. It had a total duration of 5 minutes. I didn't have a lot of control, but I got to kiss a really hot girl (which strangely felt way better than real life), and when the dream was about to fade I managed to visualize another dream and hop into it.
- When I finally woke up, I started writing it down, but then I woke up again, so I had to re-write some of it...
Time I got to bed: 1 am
Total sleep: 9 hrs
Dreams recalled: 2

Tuesday, December 15

I recalled only one dream, where I was very tired and just watched the scene passively. Maybe that's a sign I have to be more active during my waking-life.
During the day, I intensified my mantras. I currently have 3 mantras of similar objectives. Everytime I pass a door or change a tab in the computer I say one of them. If I forget, I punish myself by repeating each one 10 times.
Also, my ADA's starting to become more natural. I'm noticing a lot of things around me without trying.
Time I got to bed: 11:45 pm
Total sleep: 7 hrs
Dreams recalled: 1
