SenrPF's Workbook

Hello everyone.
As I read in the first classes I create this workbook to have better control of everything related to my dreams.
During weekdays, I usually sleep for 6 to 7 hours, almost always with the same schedule, go to bed between 23:30 and 0:00 and get up at 6:40. Weekends and Holidays are not so strict and I go to bed between 0:00 and 0:30 and I get up about 7:30.
I have the disadvantage that I usually sleep very deeply too easily, which prevents me from using techniques such as WILD. Also I usually wake up several times at night naturally and in the last hours of sleep I wake up and go back to sleep several times.
I write in my dream journal every day, sometimes in the middle of the night and other in the morning when I wake up. Sometimes during the day I usually remember fragments of dreams that had not previously noted in my diary.
I've been working on lucid dreaming for a long time and I've had some and I've also had experiences of sleep paralysis, false awakenings and something like out-of-body experiences, but until now have never been at will, but sometimes I've gotten closer to that goal.
The times I've gotten better result has been when I go to sleep and made a process of deep relaxation and intense concentration, in those moments when I got my inner dialog stops I succeeded in having very vivid dreams, lucid dreams, sleep paralysis, etc., but short-lived and I woke up immediately.
Quite often I have had episodes where I controlled what happens in my dreams but I don't realized I was dreaming.

Reality Checks

I make them regularly during the day, but not when I go to sleep or wake up.
Watch the time and date on my smartphone. Looking in detail my hand and count fingers. Check the current moment, remember what I've done before and what I'll do next, then ask me how it would be if I were dreaming.

Short-Term Goals

Have lucid dreams at will!

Long-Term Goals

Explore the world of dreams, talk to characters in my dreams and explore my subconscious and "other realities" of the dreams' world.

Dream Recall History

Usually remember at least one dream every night, but usually remember more than one. The days I'm rested and sleep better, remember more.

Current Techniques

In this issue I'm not sure. What I do, and it allows me to approach my goals, is lie down, relax, try not to fall asleep fast, concentrate, silence my inner voice and then fall asleep, shortly after I wake up with a dream very vivid, or sleep paralysis, false awakening and sometimes (few) I realize that I'm dreaming in the dream, but I wake up quickly...
Now I'm trying DEILD.
I also think it is very important motivation and confidence to achieve the objectives.
