Ok, so my mantra sucks and I haven't had much online time in the evenings lately. But I have been trying to remember to repeat mine - actually a less dumb-sounding version of mine - throughout the days and evenings, using the daily recipient's name. So I'm still participating even though I'm not keeping up with posting.
I've changed my RC to trying to alter the color of random things around me. And sometimes trying to float or levitate objects around me.
For the past few weeks I've been real lazy about writing down dreams, partly due to not getting enough sleep. Though I know I've been having some rather cool and exciting dreams lately. Of course, the lack of physical notation means they've pretty much all evaporated within an hour or two of waking.
I plan to get to bed earlier tonight so I can wake and try WBTB. It's been a long time since I've done a proper WBTB, even though I've been in a habit of waking for it for months on end now (probably at least a year now). But, as we all know, when you do that (or RCs) without actually putting forth the effort to do it right you get practically no benefit from it. That largely explains why I haven't had a WILD in ages now, only some DILDs.
Hopefully I can muster the motivation to actually get up and do WBTB, as opossed to rolling over, resetting the alarm and drifting right back off into another (or continuing/re-entering) a non-lucid dream.
