tblanco's workbook

Ok, I'm journal-ling in a different way now. Before, I'd keep a laptop next to the bed so when i'd wake up I could just start writing in as much detail as possible. Today I kept a notebook next to my bed and when i woke up during the night I'd just scrawl whatever random words and phrases I can remember. Later, I wrote the dreams out in longform using "notes."

Some fucked up shit. The first dream was when i woke up after 2 hours.

Something else that's good about this is that it's alot easier to just scrawl like a motherfucker than to fuck with the keyboard and bright light of a computer. Also it's a bit easier to just flail about random half-words than try to form complete sentences in a groggy haze. Sometimes I would remember some pretty interesting things then just lay there and mumble in my head "it'll be there later."

IT WON'T BE THERE LATER!

LOL! Dude wtf that last dream was funny as hell!

Thats pretty interesting about the dream journaling. I know what you mean about the computer, with the light, keyboard, trying to write out sentences. But last time i tried using a notebook, i couldnt even read my handwriting in the morning :D I am kind of inspired to try it again though

Yeah I think it's a good choice to write on paper during the night. I use my cellphone if I need some light, and try not to write as a five year old. As soon as I start reading though, the dream comes back to me and I don't really need the notes. They're good for backup though. Also the dreams were hilarious! Yay for fantasy :)

Played DND last night. Had DND flavored Dream.

Tonight Early to bed. Wake Back to Rise. Visualization begins 30 minutes ago.

Lol nice DnD based dream. Too bad about the goblin parts, would of been sweet to find some treasure!

What do you visualise tblanco? I always have trouble with visualisation.

That was a badass dream dude! I was just watching an episode of community where they play dnd. I've always wanted to check that game out, never got into it though.

Haha yeah great dream man :)

No dream saturday night, had a dream and a fragment sunday night. I may just go to bed super early tonight to try a wb2b very early.

i'M WORKINg for my boss from when i was a kid. He is having me feed his fighting chickens. I walk through the yard, through the aluminum tents throwing handfulls of corn. The chickens are snapping at me, trying to attack me but they can't because they are chained up to posts. One chicken is crying. It's a black chicken with a red head.

Nice curb dream man :D I have only watched the first season but really enjoyed it, i plan to check out some more of it. Larry david cracks me up!

Haha that black chicken gave me a freaky image. Good job still keeping it up man :) Keep working on the goals and get that first star! Good luck.

several days worth of dreaming in my notebook including a long awaited lucid last night. I'll be typing it all out tonight or tomorrow.

Nice man! :) Looking forward to it.

Hey man, where have you gone? We all miss you! Still looking forward to that dream.

Yeah tblanco, whats the deal? Please tell me youre not giving up on your dreams? :P

I dropped off the face of the earth for quite a while. I'm trying to get back into the LD game. I am doing pretty poorly with journaling in the morning. That's my first goal. To have memory and journal in the morning. I've been working on my awareness and practicing some of the things i want to do in my head but for now I just need to get back in the Whoopi Goldberg of writing down my dreams.

sorry for leaving yall on a cliffhangover btw. :panic:

Hey tblanco! We've missed you man. I know how hard it can be to get back in the game, I've suffered a few months of poor motivation aswell. But don't give up! Your recall will bounce back up quickly if you just force yourself to write down the dreams. Perhaps setting an alarm once or twice during the night/morning?

when i go back to work on Monday, I will be reading the entirety of this thread while going through my daytime checks. So if i'm getting back into this class, what are the goals? what should i be reading?

I got three dreams last night. but one of them was a fragment from the middle of the night.

one thing i remembered from glancing through these pages, If you do find yourself getting lucid and then waking right up, hold still and breathe deep, with practice you can hop right back into the lucid landscape.

Yeah that's the DEILD, very useful but I often forget to do it. At the moment we have a competition going to keep motivation high. It's helped alot of people gain motivation and seems to be a big success, 20 people are in it this time and I'm sure even more will sign up for the next :)

You are free to join right away if you like. If you don't want to, then just set up a few personal goals and remember to write in your DJ every day, even if you didn't recall anything.

Wow. When I dropped out it was just three of us.

Hi and welcome back tblanco! Nice to hear again from you.

Just a fragment last night about breaking my neck then it being healed again. I drank a bit so i expect a REM dump tonight.

How does tje contest work? Do I score myself or post results to tje thread.

Woke up at 2 am to remember a fragment.

Sitting at a folding table in a parking lot telling people about a rosy cheeked cherub that told me god lives.
