Naiya's Workbook

[Naiya]

How many dreams do you remember a week on average?

Probably 12-15 full length dreams, and about 20 fragments of dreams.


-How many hours of sleep do you get a night on average? You can separate workdays/school days from days off.

I'm on summer vacation, so right now I can sleep in pretty much every day. So right now I usually get 9-12 hours of sleep every night.


-How do you wake up in the morning? (Alarm clock, someone awakens you, or other means)

I usually wake up naturally, but when I need to go somewhere I set an alarm.

-Do you consider yourself a light or a heavy sleeper?

I'm normally a very light sleeper but I've been getting deeper sleep in the last several months, so I don't remember my first few dreams like I used to.


I want to increase my recall to the point of remembering the details of every dream and not just fragments of dreams unless they were lucid dreams.



A couple of other things--

I've noticed lately that when I WBTB and I don't have the intent to lucid dream, I'll just fall asleep and have pretty much no chance at LD. It's hard because if I'm lazy or I forget to keep the idea of remembering to lucid dream in my mind as I fall asleep, it won't happen.  think I used to do this by habit and that habit was broken sometime last year when I was working at my last job.

Also, I used to have tons of false awakenings and more WILDS; now I rarely have false awakenings.

And most importantly...last year I was updating my DJ in full detail every day, usually right after I got up. The last several months I'm lucky to update every week or so. I always jot down notes in the morning but the longer I go the more detail is lost. I want to try to be in the habit of updating every day again.

Last night I remembered only one dream that was lucid. But I really only slept about 6-7 hours so it's not too bad.

Getting myself all caught up!

6/3

Two lucids, average recall. Only fragments of nonlucids.

6/4

No lucids, recalled two nonlucids.

6/5

Two lucids, fairly bad recall, I had a hard time remembering the other dreams or even one of the lucids.

6/6

Recall was good, remembered 6 dreams. Two were lucids.

6/7

Recall was good, remembered 6 dreams again, one was lucid.

6/8

Recall not so good--no nonlucids remembered aside from fragments, two very short LDs.

6/9

Recall was better than usual, remembered four dreams, three were LDs.

6/10

My brain went crazy last night. I had average recall of three fragmented nonlucids, but I had NINE LDs almost in a row (there were about 3 WBTBs that broke it up). I think that broke my personal record.

The workshop I think has been helping so far. 

[Naiya]

Not bad recall last night, remembered about 4-5 dreams, no lucids. 

[Luminous]

Not bad recall last night, remembered about 4-5 dreams, no lucids. 

You used them up the night before.

[Naiya]

lol Lumi. 

Soo the last few nights:

6/11-6/12

Didn't sleep much, had terrible recall, no LDs

6/13

Normal recall, two short lucids

6/14

Remembered five or so dreams, three lucids.

[Naiya]

6/15

I had very good recall last night!

I remembered at least 9 dreams; 7 were lucid dreams. Yay!! If I can have this kind of recall and lucidity all the time, I'll be as good as I was a few years ago, that would be very awesome.
