starting out

[shokan]

I've had a couple of lucid dreams in the past. I did this in the late 90s and it was amazing. I used dream journal, reality checks, and beginner's enthusiasm. I've since tried over the years but haven't been successful. I tend to give up after a couple weeks.

So... I'm trying again using a little reality check method where you do frequent checks during the day, accompanied by doing a jump each time. I'll be doing the dream journal thing of course also. I will also be doing daily aerobic exercise to get me energized. I was having a very active lifestyle at the time of my 1990s lucid dreams, so I figure I should try and duplicate the situation from the past when I was able to achieve LDs.

The general plan is to achieve lucid dreaming and then explore OBE.

I'll check in here from time to time with any reports or questions. The idea being, keeping the whole subject and effort in the foreground, ie the enthusiasm factor.
