Thread: Midnight Fire's Workbook

Reality Checks:
- Counting the number of fingers on my hand (usually I have more in a dream)
- The Palm Push
- Blocking nose and trying to breath
- Checking the time twice
- Location - where am I, where was I a 5 min ago, where will I be in 5min?

Short-Term Goals:
- Get 7+ hours of sleep each night
- Do 10+ Reality Checks each day
- Change reality check triggers to work on developing prospective memory every few days
- Do a reality check every time I wake up
- Try to 'catch' natural waking throughout the night rather than using alarm clock for WBTB & wake up after every dream

Long-Term Goals:
- Develop 2-3 prospective memory triggers
- Lucid Dream regularly
- Good recall and good control in lucid dreams

Lucid/Dream Recall History:
- I have remembered and recorded dreams almost every single night for the last 2 1/2 months although on most nights I only remember 1 dream or fragments of two. Lately I have been working on remembering more details although the fact I sometimes only get 5 1/2-6 hours sleep seems to affect this.

Current Technique:

During the week before bed: - intention setting, mini meditation/breathing - limited sleep time
On the weekend:
- WBTB
- MILD

Motivation to Lucid Dream:
-To learn and make use of dream time
-To explore consciousness
-To increase my awareness during daily life
-To have a greater understanding and experience of reality
-To experience doing things I haven't been able to do like flying
-To overcome fears
-To visit different parts of the world/ different lands/dimensions
