MANTRAS don't work???

Hey guys.

I'm seeing progress! Since 3 nights or so, I have woken up one or two times, mostly with my eyes closed. Although I wouldn't call myself fully consious at that moment, more like 60% consious/groggy. But when I wake up like that I DO emediatly think about remembering my dreams but a few times I forgot my dream so I emediatly got back to sleep.

This morning I was about to have sex with in my (ofcourse not lucid) dream and I problably woke up from excitement, but I didn't attempt DEILD when waking up (I believe my eyes were closed). So that's what I mean with the not being fully
consious.

But because I'm making steps, and the waking up actually works a question came to my mind:
When I wake up and have recalled my dream,
What exactly do I have to visualize? The whole dream over and over again (my dreams mostly play in diffrent dreamscapes, that doesn't make them entire diffrent dreams right?) or just the end of the dream, and vizualize myself in it in first-person?

I am glad you are making progress. You do want to stay groggy. What you visualize is unimportant. In fact actively visualizing to much may keep you awake. Keep it simple. If the last dream was at a beach then just picturing that you are walking on a beach is enough. Do not worry about details.
