Day 6:
Here, I try to tie together a number of concepts and give the reader a long term goal to shoot for. None of this will be easy. In fact, if the reader gets something out of lessons 1 and 2, I would feel like we've accomplished something
. But for the more ambitious, the concept in the following lesson has proven invaluable for me:
The exercise discussed yesterday is a segue to a method I've developed over time. It's sort of a combination of dream incubation and offers a chance to not only remember a certain lucid task but to aid in your likelihood of success. This is best explained by example:
Let's say I'm trying to take the red pill to accomplish the December basic task of the month. Get up for WBTB and do your usual tasks/ritual. Retreive a red pill (real life pill) and leave it out in a specific location. Convince yourself that if you find yourself lucid in your home, you will find the dream red pill right where you left it in reality. When going back to sleep, review your lucid scenarios and goals and attempt to WILD without a scene change - in other words transition to your dreamspace where you left off in reality. If this works, great. If it doesn't, there is still an increased likelihood of a DILD in your house or perhaps a FA. Again, it's dream incubation we are after. If you find yourself lucid in that location, it should be pretty easy to remember and find the pill you left out for yourself, given all the trouble you went through to put it there in the first place.
