As you can see, I seem to fall short as the week ends. So I'll be working on improving this, right now I use a clock system. However in the future, hopefully next month, I will try it using my memory and see how it goes. Over the weekend I read about SSILD and tried it out at night, I realize this isn't the appropriate time for it but I did seem to have results? Basically, I have had more control over my actions in my dreams and when I have control I could just do a reality check, but I'll have to see if it continues. Perhaps it's just being aware before sleeping that triggers it? Do I feel like I'm making lucid dreaming progress, yes. It seems to be one a week, but perhaps I can push it to two every other week and still keep one on the other weeks. Experiments! experiments! Oh, I have forgotten to do my MILD. BUT I think I'll just try SSILD for now, doing both would be very taxing and though I can run multiple lines through my head, or think of multiple things separately, I think it might be better to do them one at a time. Maybe in the future I'll experiment with both. Alright, well in 8 hours or so I'll be waking up to write down my dreams. So I guess I better get to sleep. Thanks for reading!
