    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Purpose
    Dreams, notes, and other experiments to assist in achieving high-quality lucid dreams on a regular basis.

    Terms
    Reality Check (RC): Action used to evaluate if one is dreaming. Common methods include plugging the nose and testing whether it can be breathed through, as well as inspecting one's hands for irregularities compared to waking reality.

    Memory Lapse (...): Where memory ends for a given stream of consciousness. For example, going to sleep in a dream and waking up in the dream later with no recollection of the sleep.

    Dream Initiated Lucid Dream (DILD): Lucid dreaming type that originates from the dreamer regaining awareness from within a dream.

    Wake Initiated Lucid Dream (WILD): Lucid dreaming type that originates from the dreamer maintaining awareness from waking near-directly into a dream.

    Wake Back To Bed (WBTB): Sleep cycle interruption technique used to achieve lucid dreams.

    Legend
    Blue: Denotes regular non-lucid dream recall.

    Purple: Denotes lucid dream recall (formerly Orange).

    1. Night of Saturday 4/5/25

      by , 04-06-2025 at 07:21 PM (Dreamlog)
      Sleep: 12:28AM-11AM (10hr32m)
      Detail: 107 words.

      I had a lot of success last night using the morning nap method with 7 hours initial sleep time and about 20 minutes wake time. I'll be testing the same parameters today. Since I didn't really have a plan before here is what I will attempt:

      1 - The Pre-Flight Check: I will use the acronym EVM (Engage-Verbalize-Memory) to help recall what I need to do at the start of lucidity.
      2 - Change Text: I want to see if I can change text into something specific, the same way I practice RCs all the time.
      3 - Teleport using a screen or door.


      Pre-WBTB

      I-Beams:
      I'm at my brother's house with some others. We're watching him play a computer game in the office.
      My Dad arrives and it is a bit of a surprise. We hadn't expected him to show up this soon.
      They discuss that the weak point in the roof is up in the top-left corner from where we are.
      My Dad talks about how he had to make an extra I-beam to reinforce the area.
      My brother talks about how that area is the most likely to cave in and drop stones.
      I reflect about how terrifying it would be to have stones fall in from a broken roof.


      Post-WBTB

      No recall... boo!
