I'm not planning on this being a constant thing, but every once in a while to give myself a boost.

Basically what the main things are, are ADA when I can, and SA when I can't. Then a MILD mantra at bedtime, and visualizations, but only when they come to me easy...if they don't come easy, then it keeps me awake, and I can't fall asleep. I randomly RC through the day as well.

Then with these, I did two DEILDs to get back into the dreams.


Also, as for stabilizations techniques. I've been trying a ton of different things, and am starting to get it. I just didn't even think about it on the first two. For me, what is working to stabilize, is to slap my cheeks, so I feel pain, as well as engaging other senses onto something within the dream. If I rub my hands, I loose the dream, or if I engage a single thing without looking around, I loose the dream. I have to look around the dream world, and keep the dream scene in my sight. Then engaging by rubbing/smelling/tasting/whatever, something within the dream, I can keep in it a bit longer. I'm still only able to stay in for a couple minutes, but it's better than the 10-30 seconds I was getting before.
