Likely Dreaming | Exploring Dreams & Sleep

Progress

The first night has passed, and unfortunately, I didn’t have a lucid dream. I went to sleep a bit too late, which likely caused me to miss some of the REM sleep — and I ended up dreaming less than usual.
I also didn’t use any specific techniques before bed. I was curious to see if simply thinking about lucid dreaming throughout the day would have an effect. It didn’t.

Last Night’s Dreams

I remember a dream where me and my family were armed and doing some kind of military training. We were walking around a house with enemies inside that we had to reach. The dream also included us driving in our car, and at one point, I accidentally pointed my gun toward a child hiding in a bush.
It wasn’t lucid, but it was vivid.

Tonight’s plan

Tonight, I’ll go to bed earlier and try the MILD technique — setting a clear intention to recognize that I’m dreaming. I’ll also continue doing reality checks during the day, especially in moments when things feel unusual or dreamlike.

Let’s see if this shift makes a difference.
