Your Homework For Lesson I is to:


Start your own workbook thread in this subforum (here) - Check
Start a Dream Journal and record each dream. -Check
Record the times that you naturally go to bed and wake-up, and list it in your workbook.
- Lately my sleep schedule has been totally off the wall. Im getting ready to move to a new place next week and once I get settled I should have a pretty consistent schedule. My sleeping will probably be from 11pm-7am 5 days a week and slightly different on weekends. Will update when it becomes more solid.

Do reality checks whenever you experience something weird throughout the day, and list it in your workbook.
I have been trying to do reality checks but I haven't found one that is really effective. I usually look at my hands, but its like im supposed to be looking for something. So yeah, im still working on RC.

Write a list for why you want to lucid dream (for motivation), and plan out what you want to do in your next lucid dream.
Why I want to Lucid Dream:
-Explore
-Heal
-Have some fun

In my next Lucid Dream, I want to:
-Perform a basic summon, probably a potion...
-Fly

Establish a night-time routine (Include reading your dream journal, making sure to leave your DJ open to a blank page for quicker dictations).
-Read DJ
-Place it under a pillow on my bed with the right page marked..
-Perform 9 breaths of preparation
-Perform Recall Practice (Go back in my daily recall several days, and also my dreams as far back as I can remember)
-Incubate Dream Ideas/Images
-Mantra as I fall asleep

Optional:
Start posting snippets from your dreams in the Dream Snippets Thread to get feedback on your dreams!
Will do

Start practicing awareness from Lesson III

  • Mall
  • Church
  • River
  • Diverging Paths
  • Path Leading Over An Edge

  • Anxiety
  • Flying/floating/levitating/falling
  • Riding A bike
  • Taking a Shower
  • Riding the Ferry

Looking forward to working hard on my lucidity. I have been having relatively consistent recall for about 2 months now. Within that time I have had 3 lucids. It has been pretty awesome and I have also realized there is a lot missing in my practice. I hope to change that here.
The biggest thing for me right now is increasing my awareness and practicing reality checks on a regular basis. I really want to focus on building from the bottom up so I can have a consistent lucid practice.

Cheers!
