A&M Post 5

Another week has pasted and many nights of sleep have come and gone. I'm afraid that I have not had the same luck with my dreams that I had last week. Last week I experienced what I now believe to be a partial lucid dream but this week I have not had the luxury to experience it again. I have been following all of the same steps that I have been since the beginning of the experiment. I have been trying to imagine myself doing something that is not possible in the real world with hopes of transforming these thoughts into a dream allowing me to realize that I am dreaming easier. Each morning when I wake up and remember my dream, it never has anything to do with my I had imagined myself doing before I went to sleep. Although, one development that may be a result of this, but could also just be chance, is that I have had reoccurring dreams this week. I have had the same dream, or at least parts of my dream was the same as the one I had the night before. I'm not sure why this is happening but I'm starting to think that it could prove to be beneficial.

Each day, I play out the events of my dream in my had over and over while telling myself that it is not real, it is only a dream. By doing this, I hope that if I continue to have the same dream, eventually I will be able to quickly realize that it is a dream and will then be able to lucid dream with maximum control. There is also another characteristic of my dreams that I am trying to embed in my subconscious. Most of the time, in a dream, when every I am trying to hit something or make a closed fist, I can never squeeze my fist completely shut of hit anything will any force. This is something that happens often and I hope that I can train my subconscious to realize that if these things are happening, I am dreaming.
