I'd say your fundamentals have to be solid for supplements to work in the first place, so go for it if you've already decided to use them. As for where I stand on supplements in general though, I wouldn't recommend it. Played with galantamine previously and had mixed results. Supposedly safe, but the info out there is less than clear. Plus, I've gotten similar/better results from regular practice alone.Quote:

Stayed up late to write my sleepwalking ideas, too tired to write my dream, then forgot it. So no dream recall
Since you can be aware of your IRL body while still dreaming/LDing (has happened to me), It might be possible to control it while still in the dream state. I've heard about a guy who, while dreaming, heard his IRL phone ringing. He became lucid (or was already) and became aware of his IRL body. While still in his dream, he could move his IRL arm and answered the phone. He even managed to say hello, but heard gibberish and woke up right afterQuote:

Anyways, I understand that my idea isn't applied, that might've been too crazy lol (maybe making a whole other comp dedicated to that is the right move)

Day 2
Noon 4/15/2025 to Morning of 4/16/2025
I'm glad I got the lucid this night, as it represents progress. Despite this I was not prepared for it. Good thing is, I improvised and got some points!
By the way, this week I'm using the SSILD method.

Day 3
Noon 4/16/2025 to Morning of 4/17/2025
First time trying prospective memory practice. I did okay, but I (still) don't understand prospective memory very well. My triggers for this day were: 1. Seeing / Thinking about showers 2. Going outside or coming inside 3. Opening my laptop.
Number 3 was the hardest...

Did poorly on Prospective memory, but I think that's because I had harder triggers. They were Potted plants, Analog Clocks, and Opening my laptop.

I was really busy this day, mainly because of participating in a sporting event. Thus, did worse on reality checks. I must have been really tired because I missed my WBTB, and also no recall.

Day 6
Noon 4/19/2025 to Morning of 4/20/2025
I made a plan for this day! Here's what I wrote in my dream log: RC, Meditate, Early Bedtime, No Distractions, Mantra, WBTB, SSILD, LD, Recall Goals, Set Intentions, Stabilize, Complete Goals, Record Dream.
It didn't do very well, and got to bed late, so my recall wasn't good. I also basically gave up in the middle of the night. But, this plan has been a good framework for me over the next few days.

Day 7
Noon 4/20/2025 to Morning of 4/21/2025
Today I meditated!!! That was fun. Although, it wasn't really meditation, it was actually a lucid dream related hypnosis video. I'm unsure how it affected me, but it was very calming and got me excited and motivated about lucid dreaming. I still got to bed late, though. I also tried to do my WBTB, but fell asleep while trying to remember the dream I just had. ��

Final Thoughts
- My recall tanked at the end of this week, which I attribute to late bedtimes.
- I still think SSILD works well for me. Almost all of my lucid dreaming related experiences are regained awareness, and SSILD somehow creates a lot more of those and false awakenings. So I'm trying to get really good at catching false awakenings and practicing SSILD every night.
- First attempt at
meditationGuided Hypnosis. The thing is, this guy also makes some meditation stuff, and I feel like the practices are (Even just superficially) connected. Nevertheless, I want to try actual meditation, alone, and see what that's like.- Finally, sorry for the long post, hopefully it's not a problem. Some time I will replace the [[]] blocks with links to DJ entries. Also, week two is going well! Good job, everybody!
Edited to add points for dream control task.
Night 7
Reality Checks (Good): 1
Night total: 1

Night 8
Reality Checks (Good): 1
Non-lucid (x1): 1
Night total: 2
Comp Total: 23
Prospective memory targets: Every time I hear water (Faucet, rain, drip, etc...)
I've been counting those prospective memory targets separately, percentage-wise, but always keeping the maximum points total at 1.0. So for my two targets, both having consistencies greater than 33% of the time, but less than 66%, they each gained .5 points for the total of 1. If I'm botching the calculation for this, and it should just be the averaged percentage between all targets that should be considered, just let me know!

Hello, I'm coming in super late, but plan on staying till the end! (And I appreciate the nudge @Saizaphod)
Three-step tasks:
- Reality Check/Stabilization
- Interact with a Dream Character
- Basic Summoning
Personal goals:
- Summon a pineapple (I've only had 1 really good lucid dream and the main thing I did was summon little objects, so this would feel like a step up in terms of size :rolllaugh:)
- Summon a pool room
My points:
(Previous days)
Good Reality Checks (April 19th, 20th, and 21st) = 3
Non-Lucid Fragments (April 18th, 19th, and 20th) = 1.5
Non-Lucid Dream (April 21st) = 1

Non-Lucid Fragment = 0.5

DC Interact 2pt
Flight 5pt
Use Electronic Device 5pt (didn't work)
Advanced Summoning 15pt (Someone tell me if this botched/unfinished attempt counts. I can still take basic summoning for having my slate if not.)
(also I think I lost track. Yesterdays dream was night 8, todays was night 9)
Sorry for my absence, hit a rough spot right from night 1. Dreams are returning, though, and had several nights in a row where I should have gotten lucid.
I'm going to estimate 17 dreams since my last update (night one) through now.
Average RC every day: 1x9 = 9
2 dreams a night 2x9 = 18
comp nights up through 4/23 @ 00:00: 27
comp total nights up through 4/23 @ 00:00 = 5 + 27 = 32
Sorry for the late update, did an all-nighter prepping for night 9 and slept 13hours(which worked!)
