Thread: Nebulus's Workbook

Reality Checks:
Whenever I
1) talk to someone I will RC - As I talk to people a lot in dreams
2) Notice ive been thinking about work - As I have lots of work related dreams
Check is to look to see if something changes i.e writing
"Pause" as this is something that I never do in a non-lucid dream

Dream Signs:
Work/Hotel

Short-Term Goals:
*amended 30/8/16
NEW 1) Focus on dream journalling - write in night and first thing in morning
(my recall and interest in details has dropped a lot, I need to make this the focus
also returning to work makes it something hopefully manageable)
2) Decide on pre-sleep routine:
including telling myself to wake after dreams during night to recall
and do wbtb at aprox 3/4am AND DO IT PROPERLY
3) Try WILDing and hypnogogic visions at nap once a day

Long-Term Goals:
Find a dream guide/fellow adventurer


Lucid/Dream Recall History:
Many years ago in a distant galaxy...I used to lucid dream but gave it up as irrelevant Oo (oh foolish youth)
Past year i've started trying to get lucid again, and get a lucid that last a few seconds before I wake up approx once a month
Recently I got my first journalled 3 lucids in a night that each lasted for the normal length of a dream
I think this was caused by doing a WBTB properly, as per Patience's method (thanks oh water elemental).

Current Technique:
See above

I want to keep a consistent pre-sleep technique but at the moment am not happy with the one I have as I feel there is something missing that is puzzling me.

Also I am using the neurosky mindwave to improve my focus an am having fun with that. Very interested in watching my brainwaves ^^

revised 24/10/16
I have been trying ADA but work fogs things a lot as its so full on. I will try doing short blocks of ADA.


New method for lucid. I have got lucid the past two times under the same conditions
1) Have a nice stretch 5-hours of sleep
2) WBTB at around 4-4.30am
3) Get really pissed off at not being lucid
4) Write in journal
5) Chain of lucids tadarrrr!


Also I want to practise daily hypnagogic earlier on in the evening, and maybe a little associated art.
