Thread: Fuz's Workbook

Thanks for the reply, I'll keep going with practicing my awareness and RCs which I do whenever I enter a new environment.
Last night I had a good sleep but not a good night for recall, I think I was too tired from not having enough sleep from the night before. I'll keep you updated on my progress

Sounds good

Also, that sounds like a likely explanation for the dip in recall...sometimes happens to me when I am in deep, restful sleep.

Yeah I literally slept like a baby haha
I've made myself a strong goal out of the ones I have, and that's to have a vivid and long-ish lucid dream, I take it that I will need to have a few more before this happens but thinking about my first lucid, it was probably only 10 seconds long and very fragmented with little to no control, although I am still super happy that I had one I wish I had never taken a break because I could of had a lot more by now. I really hope I have more soon, I may also need to do some more work on dream recall. Anyway I will keep you updated on my progress and wish me luck for tonight

At least you are back on track! And yes, good luck!

If you feel you don't yet have the tools you need to improve your recall I can point you to something but it takes a little additional effort during your day. I don't want to overload you until you are ready or have a need to work on recall though. You probably already have good solutions in your arsenal as well.

Last night was very good for recall, I managed to remember 3 dreams, the first one was very long and they were all quite vivid. Sadly no lucid yet but I'm gonna keep at it
I think that my recall can vary and some nights are better than others - however I haven't been able to recall this good since last time I was here which means that hopefully lucidity is just around the corner!

I wouldn't be surprised! Congrats on the strong recall!

Recall dipped again last night, could only remember one dream but forgot to write it in my DJ because I fell back asleep
I probably slept for around 10 hours and didn't do a WBTB.
Hopefully tonight's the night

Good luck! Try to set aside some time just before going to bed to write some notes in your dream journal and think about your goals and plans to lucid dream that night and anything else that you like related to lucid dreaming.

Thanks for the tips
I just read a great thread about meditation which I'm going to have a go at, here's the link:

I'm hoping that doing this along with ADA will help improve my recall and awareness.

No recall for last night, going to give it another shot tonight.
Edit: I actually just had a flashback to the main theme of the dream so recall wasn't as bad as I thought it was

Recall was good last night, I can remember about 3 dreams which were vivid and other fragments.
Really annoying as well because in one of them I was talking about lucid dreaming but sadly didn't become aware >.<
Tonight could be the one

No recall for last night at school has just started up again, going to try and get to bed earlier and see if it improves.

Still a good sign I feel.

I think that a regular sleep schedule of the same number of hours is most important if you can manage that (most people find some set amount between 7 to 9 hours ideal).

And thanks for the meditation link. Have you been trying that?

Yes the meditation is going well and making me feel relaxed before bed
Sadly no recall again last night. I remember dreams when I first wake up but seem to fall back asleep and forget them before I write in me DJ

Sometimes sleep is my priority and I do the same thing...just go back to sleep. However, if it is an interesting dream I will tell myself to remember it reminding myself of a few key words from the dream before falling back to sleep and that often helps me remember most of them until morning. If it is really interesting I try to write it down right away though. Ups and downs in recall are normal as well though, especially early on or when restarting recall practice.

Thanks I'll try and remember the key words and see how that works.
No lucid yet but last night my recall was good, remembered around 2-3 dreams. I also think I am becoming more aware as in one of my dreams I was on the tube and questioned if the door looked normal but it wasn't enough for me to realise I was dreaming

That kind of awareness, combined with another factor or two, can nudge you towards lucidity! Keep up the good work.

Last night I could only remember fragments again, I think I'm a bit stressed with exams so it's probably affecting my sleep quality. They should be over soon though so hopefully my recall improves
I think even remembering non-lucids is fun too the things you do in them can be really funny.

Yes, stress can affect both things from my experience as well. I agree, non-lucids can be great, it is like this whole other world that most people forget the moment that they wake up.

Managed to remember 1 dream last night, tried to remember the key parts and managed to get them written down. Awareness seems to be going well too

Nice! Good luck over the weekend!

Remembered one dream again last night, it was a really weird one but sadly no lucid.
I feel like they're getting more vivid so hopefully it's not too long before I become lucid.

1 dream recalled last night. It was a FA which is the first one I've ever had, unless I did wake up half asleep? Didn't become lucid though.

1 dream again
I've decided I'll just post weekly updates on my progress unless there's something I want to share right away, makes the work book neater.
