      Beginning a 12 month experiment

      G'day folks,

      New 'round here. Very serious about getting very good at lucid dreaming!

      On Monday I'm beginning a year long experiment where I'll start out with 10 minutes of meditation per day, and add 10 more each week. I'll also be doing dream checks every 15 minutes. Full details are at my blog, link in signature.

      In any case, look forward to sharing what effect the experiment has on my dream experiences and learning lots.

      I don't count these as true lucids because they where not very clear, but until I have my first real lucid these will do.)

      So at the end you have 10 minutes x 52 weeks/year = 520 minutes / (60 minutes/hour) = 26/3 hours = 8 2/3 hours every day. I think you might want to reconsider your goal, unless you're rich and can afford to stop working for half a year. Adding one minute per week is more realistic.

      Haha, good question! A combination of 1) having no social life/obligations other than work, and 2) requiring less sleep as the meditation time increases.

      I think it's doable. Guess we'll see.

      I really don´t think he thought it through before deciding to go ahead with his experiment. I sure hope you have a strong self discipline, I can´t even meditate for half an hour before getting bored. Good luck ;P

      I dont think youll hold 9 hours a day for more than..A day. It will get really old, really fast. I used to do 2 hours a day. It lasted about 2 weeks. What I do now is just 40 minutes a day. 20 minutes early, 20 again at night.

      Interesting plan, you've got my support!
