Thread: AquaBlitz11's Workbook

I decided I should already stop fencing about creating my own workbook here on DV to keep track of progresses while I can actually do it alone. It has been almost two weeks of brand-new subject for me to learn already, yet none of lucid dreams are experienced. Anyways, it's better shared than kept personally, isn't it? Let's get a real start with this.

Sleeping schedule:
- Sleeping within 10-11 PM.
- Waking up on 6 AM.
- Usual natural awakenings: 2-3 AM, and no more.

Reality Checks:

- Fingers counting, hands/palms check
- Time checking
- Text reading attempts

One or two of these are selected, depending on whatever I'm doing. Reality checking whenever I feel the urge to do it, or if I feel something particularly strange. However, trying to improve amount of reality checks done in a day. Occasionally, I think back on what I've done within half an hour.

Dream Signs:

- Game/Coding elements put to life, or even life which seems to be in-game. (Most common things are usual dialog informational/interactive boxes popping up, or letters right on my vision to watch over data.)
- Not even thinking about friends, completely forgetting them. DCs are mostly strangers/family members. Actually, I'm always almost alone in my dream. (As far as I can remember, there's only one out of all dreams which features few of my friends) Most people in my dreams are one I know real life, but they play different role here.
- I do not act energetically in dream. My mood is always rather calm, or a slight joy within unknown anxiety.
- Slight pain, unimportant deaths, slight tension/pressure, either mine or anything else.
- School, school, school.

Short-Term Goals:

- Of course, having my first LD and more, dream-initiated though. (Succeeded)
- Actually making reality checks my main habit/personality. (Succeeded)
- Trying out some dream controls, messing up with my dreams.
- Preparing my dream control ability for my long-term goals.

Long-Term Goals:

- Understanding my personality, goals, feeling, etc. - how my subconscious really is.
- Understanding people psychologically, on their feelings. Better ways to learn friends and aid them.
- Composing songs (mainly piano pieces) in my dreams. (I usually compose songs on instinct whenever I'm daydreaming.)
- Being able to use lucid dreams as another ways to solve nagging real life problems. This can be almost anything. Whether school works I can't even think, or getting some ideas to use on my whatever. Who doesn't enjoy unlimited time to solve problems, with your creativity highly boosted and supported?
- Practicing piano (or any other things I do in real life) within lucid dreams.
- And of course, how did I miss this? Stress relief, doing some fun, typical things as other lucid dreamers would do: flying, etc.
- Creating imaginary world where I can live on with freedom.

Lucid/Dream Recall History:

Will write detailed one when I have time.

- Used to rarely dream recall any long dreams before this. More dreams recalled since start of learning LD, including old dreams I forgot.
- Current dream recall rate: 3 nights/week (only counting decent recall, decently long dream).
- A lucid dream since start of the lesson.

Current Technique:

DILD, with aid from MILD before sleeping.

Hoping myself with best luck on this!
