Alright, I will try that then. I gtg now, but I will be back on later in the day. I'll keep up with the ADA if I can today, but I think most of my reality checks will be during my WBTB.
I'll have a lucid every second day most of the time, I guess WBTB whenever you're most comfortable, but I normally have more success later in the morning. You can do two a night if you want to, just make sure you have a stable sleeping pattern if you're setting alarms, and you should be able to fall into a dream with great awareness
And how many lucids do you think you had this way? I can wake up after my 3rd sleep cycle (12-1:30, 1:30-3, 3-4:30, then I wake up) fairly easily, but I know this isn't the longest one. I can wake up after that one, before the last longest one, but I never do WBTB for that one. Would I be able to do two WBTBs, or should I only do one per night?
I trained myself to wake up after most of my sleep cycles depending on how tired I am, so like 3-6 times a night. I generally roll over and write in my DJ, drink some water, write in my DJ 'Lucid now.' and then go to sleep repeating my mantras. If I fall asleep while repeating my mantras I find I'll be lucid a lot easier.
Oh yeah, I posted in that thread a while back, I should be able to dig up that list somewhere. I just need to fine tune my WBTB and keep up with the reality checks, I am so close now, I'm starting to get excited. What do you normally do in your WBTB? Do you do it? I just get up, walk around, then read my dream journal and do a few reality checks.
Dreamsharing is definitely one of the long-term things I look forward to - I've had a couple of confirmed ones which are really pushing my confidence forward Try out the ToTM, I find they're generally pretty exciting, or lurk the 1001 things to do thread
Well, apart from my to-do list, I have a few ideas lined up to try- Go to somewhere random and summon stuff. My friend who doesn't know about lucid dreaming is having nightmares right now. So I thought a nice thing to do would be to use my powers, if dream sharing is possible, to help him out, and show him a real nightmare lol. and that's about it. It's funny how your mind goes blank when you finally have the opportunity to use it...
I think that's one of the most exciting parts of it thought! You can literally go anywhere, and you have an almost infinite amount of dreams to be able to go to all of these places in your lifetime You can go to the top of the Eiffel Tower and cast fireballs the size of a semi-trailer, or you can go to a future American wasteland and battle bandits - equally as awesome just different opportunities If you ever can't decide where you want to go try not being anywhere at all. You'll either end up somewhere random or in a place without a surrounding and without a body which is a very interesting experience to say the least
Another thing is where to do it as well. Sure, I could do it in my living room or in my garden... but that's no fun. I could go anywhere- but that in itself stops me from going anywhere. It's like being a kid in a candy store, theres so many places I could go, and yet there is always a better one than the best one I just picked! Even if that doesn't matter, you still have to be somewhere! Argh, it's a new kind of frustrating.
It's a technique I've been working on, I'm planning to start getting into days & weeks soon It's just belief in the watch, it's made me have incredibly long lucids both times I've summoned and worn it. I know what you mean! I started off summoning an apple to help me stabilise using my sense of taste, just mess around and have as much fun as you can
