Method of Exploration 1:

I set a timer for 21 min, 1 minute to prepare, 20 minutes to observe. I had two pillows behind my head and I lay on my back. This time my focus was on daydreaming and thinking.

Result of Exploration 1 , Night 2:

Before the 20 min: Tensed up legs (muscle soreness), unfocused tired mind.

During 20 min: I started out by not focusing on my body at all, I was just thinking and thinking and thinking. First I thought about my dating life, I had been flakead by some gilr (cancelling date) and another girl I texted then instead was really late on answering and I had just heard a speech from Tyler RSD how you in the beginning behave like a girl's friend and they don't see you sexual in anyway, blablabla. I realized then that stuff I worried about before such as meeting other girls at the same time, is irrational because society teaches us that we should be nice, available and treat girls like a princess. But what they actually respond to is a completly different behavior. This it totally off-topic but as you can see analysing just a single problem as my mind becomes calmer and calmer makes the time fly by and also makes me look on the problem much more lightly. I was thinking lots of stuff, another thing I was pondering was the idea of doing this thinking and every once in a while stop and do a reality check, but without moving, so how do you do that? I thought about this for a while and some weird ideas such as "Imagining plugging your nose", but the best I coul come up with was to imagine your hands being clasped or your legs being crossed, and when you could feel that actually happening even though you are in reality in a complete different posture, well then you basically have a phantom or dream body to work with. Might try this out in the future, right now I have to focus on mantaining awareness some more.

After the 20 min: I woke up from my thoughts when the alarm sounded. However I was not as aware of the thoughts as I was in the beginning but I was also not totally unaware of them. It was like waking up from a dream, but instead it was just subconscious thoughts.
I was now totally relaxed, my legs felt normal and my mind was really alert. I was also slightly more unaware of my body.

This is was just the first 20 minutes of my night, but even though my exploration 1 was over I pushed my limits further by continuing to lay still.

I remember feeling really warm and sweaty and eventually falling asleep.

Then something very interesting happened. I woke up 01:32, 07:19, 8:17 and 09:46 remembering lots of dreams and I even had a lucid dream!
(See my Dream Journal)

Which reminded me of a thought I had a year ago while attempting something like this: "WILD is the most effective way to DILD"

Because you end up more aware in your dreams compared to just fall asleep normally.

If this is true or not I am not sure of just yet, but it is going in that direction. This means that I just have to continue to focus on my direct entry which will make me more aware in general and then the indirect awareness is just a natural consequence.

Sorry I just can't help it, but this reminds me of pick up, by choosing the path by hitting on girls directly, I do what 1% of guys doesn't dare to do which will make me more confident and cool in general and then the indirect attractiveness is just a natural consequence.

If you want to become aware of your dreams, learn about awareness in general!
If you want a specific girl to become your girlfriend, learn to get good with girls in general!

Oh I am getting kind of carried away here, but this was an intense night.

This is just one night so I can't make any conclusions yet, but I am very motivated to continue my exploring!

Tonight I am celebrating something called "midsummer" in Sweden, it's basically a night where we drink alot and welcome the summer.

So I will see what kind of mindstate I will be in tonight, but if possible I will still try to fall asleep consciously.
