Yep, still going strong actually. I've been keeping my dream journal steady. Always at least 1 detailed dream at night, but now sometimes I get two or three dreams I can really remember.

I've also been working on my diet a lot. I've completely shut out all fast sugars like soda, candy, white bread etc ... and instead I'm eating very nutritious food (lots of minerals, omega3 DHA & EPA, nuts, whole wheat bread ...).

And what's most important, I haven't touched a single drop of alcohol.

The impact this is having on my sleep pattern is just ... beyond words. For the first time in years I'm actually sleeping well, no longer am I lying awake in bed for over an hour counting sheep before finally falling asleep. In the past couple of days, I just put my head down, and I'm in dreamland. During the day I have a lot more energy, more mental stamina. More focus, more passion to get to the end of this. And this time it came from me, without pressure, without promises, without tears ...

I'll be honest, it's hard at times, not drinking, especially at social gatherings (family stuff, party ...), but I'm managing. I'm not even close to getting there, but at least I'm closer than I was yesterday.

So it's weird, I started this with the intention of Lucid Dreaming, and although I haven't had a LD yet, my life suddenly, without realizing it, is different. And it feels good :-).

I'm still writing down unbelievable weird dreams in my DJ, and often with amazing details. Colors and shapes. And I'm actually convinced that in the near future I will have my LD experience. But right now, honestly I can't really explain it. It's like I once more reached a turning point in my life, and this time I actually reached out and took it.

This post turned out a lot more dramatic than I thought, so apologies for that :-) But it is what it is.

I just saw that spellbee re-did the buddy program, maybe I'll search for a LD buddy. To keep me focused on the LD. Because LD is what got me on this path, even if I haven't experienced a LD yet, I feel I should be thankful or something. Weird I know.
