The main purpose of this blog is to document my experiences while lucid dreaming, as well as normal dreams. It is mostly for my benefit, but I have decided to post it here so that others may potentially benefit from it.
There are a few basic methods and terms I will explain here.
The way in which I will recall dreams and post them here, will be from speaking into a tape recorder and playing it back when I need to post it. To achieve lucid dreaming I will not only do this, but perform a series of reality checks throughout the day every hour or so. To be more precise I will use 4 different checks. I will attempt to push my right thumb through my left hand, I will question my reasoning, I will approach a mirror, I will read a poem that I will carry around at all times. Throughout my posts I will shorten this to T.A.R.P., an abbreviation of Thumbs, Awareness, Reflection, and Poem. I will also record the hour of sleeping and hour of waking, to determine my total amount of time asleep. I will also attempt to describe the dream in as much detail as possible, and whether or not it was lucid.
This concludes my introductory post, and I will continue to post every day a dream has occurred.
