Thread: Hirondelle's workbook

Hey Hirondelle! Regarding the ssild question - just allow yourself to fall asleep. Also, with all the practices, don't forget to attach the expectation of having a lucid dream. So, for example, before you begin the SSILD practice, gently remind and reffirm to yourself that after the practice the next thing that is going to happen will be for you to fall asleep and have a lucid dream. I know this sounds very obvious, but sometimes we may be drowsy or forgetful, so it always helps to consciously link the expectation to any of these practices for better results.

As far as dream signs are concerned, yes, being aware of the overall context of what is going on during the day and questioning the situation is the right mindset. Also, it may seem more difficult to RC if there are no DS in real life, but on the other hand - having a specific set of circumstances only happen in dream is a great opportunity to catch an ld. For example, I often dream of one of the places I used to live. If am aware of my surroundings during the day and know this place appears now only in dreams, there's a good chance to catch this DS.

Very pleased with my successful WILD's on 21 and 24 February!

25-2: Bedtime 23.00 Remember only a hint of a dream when I wake up at 4.35. I get up and do WBTB at 5.00. No success, got up at 7.30.

26-2: Bedtime 23.00 Wake up naturally before the alarm and remember a dream. I get up and write it down at 7.15. Try WBTB at 8.00, feel physically relaxed, think I feel a small "wave" but eventually get up at 8.55, I'm awake.

27-2: Bedtime 22.45 Have to go to the toilet at 3.10. I feel I was dreaming but can't remember. Stayed up for 15 minutes reading DJ. Try WBTB. It's not difficult to physically relax. I feel I almost made it. It's the first time ever I felt vibrations. Didn't sleep very well until the alarm at 7.15.

28-2 Bedtime 22.45 I had an argument with my husband and I'm stressed about that. The dream I remember at waking up at 5.40 is about him being angry. I try WBTB (stayed up for 20 minutes) but that doesn't work. I think I still dreamt but don't remember.

29-2 and 1-3 I feel I'm still to stressed about what's going on in RL to recall my dreams, so .... nothing.....
