hellooo =)

I've had one experience with LD and one with SP ( which was really quite traumatic).
It's been about a decade and I'm ready to try again :)


I am a vivid dreamer. The narrative is pretty linear, segments assemble together and are fluid the way a movie unfolds. If I jump around between settings/times, the plot-line remains and ties the story together. I spend a lot of time in my dreams as a passive observer as I don't identify my self with a body. I find reality checks do not really help me because I'm not usually in my dream body unless I have strong feelings about an event, in which case I drop into the body and take action. In these instances I am rarely aware of my body. The odd time I AM aware of my body it is because something totally weird is happening to it... (example... I have the parts of a man, or I have become morbidly obese and literally heavy)

For years I have been setting my alarm an hour before wake time in order to achieve enhanced dream recall. I collect my dreams in a dream blog..

If you're curious... I have a link posted in my profile.


Anyway, I'm Misha =)

Hi !

:welcome: It sounds like you're already having some amazing dreams. Reality checks work best when you use them as a tool to increase your awareness while awake. Every time you RC during the day, try to be extra aware of your body and your surroundings. Hopefully this habit will carry over into your dreams, and you will learn to be more aware of yourself.

Thank you for the welcome and the advise. What you say makes complete sense. In my waking life I am super aware of my environment, and the characters and the emotions/energy. So much focus on what's happening outside of me. Perhaps I am paying less attention to the experience of just being IN my body. I am looking to get into yoga/meditation.. with hopes that I can become more attached to my physical self.

How often do you RC? I suppose it is different for everyone... but how much is enough for it to be effective I wonder?
