Hi Luffy, Michael Ragugas book was a game changer for me. Its important to know that you do actually awaken several times during the night, the trick is to notice them. I set an alarm about 5 hours...

I certainly have had dreams about being lucid, many times... and I think such a thing is very common: I have a feeling that many of the dreams we remember as lucid are actually dreams about...

I think you're giving "reality checking" too much credit. An RC is a tool for the pre-lucid mind to solidify its budding realization/recognition of the dream state. I've gotten lucid plenty of...

Hi VagalTone. I think your original question is slightly mis-aimed. Why practice reality checks (I prefer the term "state test" -- what state am I in right now: waking or dreaming?)? Well, I...

^^That. RC's do not make you lucid; they confirm lucidity. You really cannot honestly do a RC in a dream unless you already think you are dreaming (aka, have some lucidity). If you are not...

I find it that doing reality checks helps put you into that lucid dreaming mindset, whether they carry over in dreams or not. As long as I do at least a few during the day, that shows that I have...

I personally don't do reality checks because they don't tend to carry over to my dreams (for me at least). Additionally, even if they do appear in our dreams, there's no guarantee that it will result...

During a dream, when we cannot confirm we are dreaming, we are not fully lucid. The dream state can sometimes can be confused with the waking state, so sometimes during a dream, we have not confirmed...

Well, I will keep you up to date, but I guess I have to be quite patient with this. If I would dream lucid every night, the progress would probably be quite fast, but I "only" have about 1-2 LDs a...

Catch up sleep and counting anchor after dream journalling gave me a couple LD's tonight
Tried to stabilize and do my dream plan but lost myself talking with dream characters and lost lucidity
Keeping your intention forefront and urgent is lucidity saving
Need to work a little more with my dream plan so that whatever situation i happen to be, i can work from there instead of trying to solve a problem
After a 45 minute WBTB, without exposure to artificial light, decided to drink a cup of coffee and half a banana.
It took some 30 mins or so to fall asleep, although i expected to remain awake ( which alleviated the pressure and fear of failure so to speak)
In the dream i feel an urge to pee, so i have a false awakening and go to WC but it does not relieve me, so this makes me remember to RC
The LD lasted until the urge was too strong to remain asleep
This was an interesting finding, and surely opens some avenues for experimentation. There is already a technique called urine initiated lucid dream. It can generate false awakenings about using WC and this can be exploited to realize lucidity
This cup of coffe had a strange diuretic effect. I did not drink water during WBTB
I probably can substitute water for coffee, although i may miss the coffe stimulating effect on mind faculties
The urge to urinate can be a trigger to RC and if the urge remains after peeing should be a sign one is using a dream body.
If one is well hydrated, proabably there will be more than 6 opportunities to pee in a day and to build this pee-RC reflex. And if one trains to remain with the urge to pee and not immediately visit the WC ( which must happen if one is to remain in bed ) it can also be used to RC at every urge you feel. But be careful not to change your bladder habits or disturb its autonomic functioning. Be aware that you can also urinate in your bed, it might happen in theory.. But if you get lucid before peeing it should be no problem
This urge can also be used to wake up and WBTB
Gonna keep some experimentation on this
DEiILD/WILD after natural awakening
OBE style exit. Get out of bed, open my room stores and window and jump while watching my hands to keep senses engaged.
I arrive at the 0 floor and find an open hall. I enter it while still trying to stabilize and deepen my senses. I try to remember TOTM and the first i decide because i think it will be easiest is to find the christhmas present.
So, as i turn back i see a christhmas pine and the present in a red wood box.
I open with and there's another red box inside, something like the marioskas. Some impatience arises, as i find this will become an infinite regression lol. The last box had only, yeah, ahh... money. The coins i have saved during the year or so, you know the coins with the lowest value we carry in the pockets and gather at the end of the day, don't know how it is called in English.
Then, i go outside and begin singing that i am lucid and don't give a fuck what dream characters think, then faded and could not DEILD
Bed time : 23h. Woke up naturallly at 3:40. Listen to the tape twice (30min). Woke up from dream at 5:30
2nd night in a row where i woke up naturally and listened to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irzDKzALjoQ, while focusing on body sensations and, sporadically, on visual colours (phospenes) after which i let myself fall asleep while retaining some awareness of the body. After some time, which i didn´t notice, the hypnagogic sensatons began and as usually i begin the drem as soon as i feel i can move my dream (lighter) body and get out of bed.
My lucid confidence is increasing ! Hope this good streak continues ! For a long time, i am beginning to think it's better to have a previous dream plan
