Thread: Onironauta's Workbook

Spoiler for :

DAMN I HAD WROTE IT ALL DOWN AND I COULDN'T SEND THE MESSAGE BECAUSE THERE WAS I LINK IN IT. DAMN.

I'll calm down and write it again.

Day 1 (28/08/2012)
I start today my experience. After learning some more, I begin to establish that the first goal to achieve is to remember your dreams, which is why I keep this diary, which also will mark the course of the night. I begin now to make sistematically reality checks (preferably that of the nose, but also reading and hands). I also joined a forum that I hope will help me in my journey.()
Tonight I think I'll try to sleep repeating the mantra "I will wake up from dreams and I remember them fully." I will not make use of alarms during the night, I will try to use them starting tomorrow if I will not get positive results.
Now my goal is also partially to make a lucid dream, but I do not think, however, even though I am making a habit of always reality check, that I will succeed.
Tonight I'll go to sleep not too tired and in normal conditions, around midnight.

Goal of the night: remember at least one dream

Conditions of the night: small quantity of alcohol in the body, no thc.

Sleep start time: about 1:00

Wake up time: 8:35

Night report: Before falling asleep I tried a WILD, but after the appearance of an hypnagogic image (the face of an angry dog ​​jumping and barking at me) eyes have begun to open their own and I gave up.
I woke up a couple of times during the night in the middle of dreams, but I had no strength to write also because the memories were too fragmented, at least until the final awakening of 8:35. Then I tried a WBTB with a MILD (repeating "I'll do a reality check when I'll notice something unusual") but I could not get to sleep.
I'm quite happy with how it went, I did at least 3 or 4 dreams and for one of them I was able to write and remember enough details. I hate not being lucid already, but after all it is only the first night.

Dream report: see the first post of my dream journal.

Day 2 (29/08/12)

I think today I will try to use the WBTB joined the MILD right away, so with less sleep. [...] I've changed my mind, I will practice a combination of daily mantra to become an actor in my dreams (in fact, I noticed that for now they are just a spectator outside) and at night I will dedicate myself to a simple MILD. After a week of these exercises I'll pass to WBTB and MILD.
Tonight I will try to stay awake after each dream and to write it down.

Mantra of the Day: I am the lead of my dreams

Mantra of the night I wake up after each dream and I will remember. - I do reality check during dreams.

Goal of the night: Remember at least one dream, possibly become lucid

Sleep start time: about 1:50

Wake up time: 9:20

Conditions of the night: no alcohol, no thc

Dream report: I can only vaguely remember that recurred the fantasy element, which could be a possible dream sign.

Night report: Disappointing night, probably due to the fact that I went to sleep too late and too tired.
I woke up a couple of times during the night, not being able to recall anything, and even at 9:20 my memories were quite blurry.
