My Lucid Dreaming Journey Day 37 - Lucid For a Moment!

Getting Better At This!
I didn't have many dreams today, but I did become lucid for a moment!
Like usual, I set my alarm to wake me up in 4 hours of sleep so I could perform the FILD method. I don't remember much, because I felt quite tired.
I believe that I didn't even try performing this method, because I was just too damn tired!
Anyway, I fell asleep quickly, but I didn't have very vivid dreams. It was hard to recall even a fraction of what I was dreaming about.
BUT, the important thing is, I realized I'm dreaming. This means I'm becoming more and more aware about everything.
Sadly, I can't maintain lucidity for long when this happens. Guess I get too excited about it, even though I'm trying to stay calm as much as possible.
Well, it doesn't matter, because I was expecting something like this. As time goes on, I will be able to maintain my lucidity for longer periods of time.
When it comes to lucid dreaming, it simply takes time to actually achieve great results.
Nudity Street
So, my memory begins when I was screwing around with a girl. The thing is... We were basically in the street and we were naked.
I realized that this is wrong so I was searching for a blanket. LOL...
Of course I wasn't able to find one. Then I remember a truck stopped in front of the girl and it just stood there. This girl was embarrassed.
Then my dream memory fades here. I don't remember what happened next.
But, my memory comes back when I was walking on a road with some dude. The funny thing is, I was actually telling him about this situation that I had with the girl.
And when I ended my story, I said, "but it doesn't matter, because this is only a dream". The dude had a surprising look.
I said, "Yeah, it's just a dream dude, don't you know?". And this is where I became lucid.
The dude did a friendly push and he was like, "Cmon dude, wtf are you talking about". Then I looked away from him into the road and I immediately noticed my dream fading away.
This is when I woke up.
I fell asleep pretty quickly again, but I don't remember any dreams. I'm still happy with the progress even though I didn't have much recall.
Since there's really not much to talk about I'm ending this post here. At the end of each post I'll include my first post (down below) about this journey as it explains why and how I'm doing this! (Full Post Here)

I Will Be Doing This Every Day!
The main reason I want to start lucid dreaming, is for self improvement. I've been reading a lot about it and studies have shown that you can actually improve certain abilities by doing it in your dreams. For example, if you wan't to learn a foreign language, you can practice it in your dreams. Since you're working with your subconscious mind while you're sleeping, you might find out that you know words that you were never aware of while conscious. It's really all up to your creativity to what you wanna learn and improve upon in your dreams. Is it basketball that you want to become better at? You can do that! Do you want to become a better fucker? Nobody is holding you back! Just make a nasty slut appear in front of you and do whatever you want with her! Apparently while sleeping, the neural pathways engaged in the activity are strengthened, and not only imagined or visualized. To achieve lucid dreaming, a lot of action has to be taken. Well... Some find it really easy to lucid dream, but most have to achieve it the hard way. It's really important to think about lucid dreaming throughout the day. This way you're telling your subconscious mind that this is what you're focusing on and what you want, thus it gives you the access to control the dream world. There are quite a few things I will be doing in order to achieve this goal! So, first of all, I will be posting my whole lucid dreaming journey here on Steemit every day. I will be writing down all of my dreams on a journal. A dream journal is basically essential if you want to achieve lucid dreaming. I will do at least 30-50 reality checks every day. Have a sleeping rhythm. That means I will be going to sleep at the same time every night. I'll also wake up at the same time every morning as well. I will also experiment with some techniques to induce lucid dreams. I won't look at any screens (computer, TV or even phone) 30-60 minutes before bed, because I've read that this helps a lot. For those 30-60 minutes I will be meditating. Talk, read and think about lucid dreaming constantly. Occasionally I will listen to lucid dreaming binaural beats and hypnosis. I will use an app called Awoken. This app is designed to help you achieve lucid dreaming. It reminds you to do reality checks throughout the day and it has a dream journal, which is where I will be writing down all my dreams when I wake up. I will experiment with the supplement called Dream Leaf, I already ordered it and I will use it when it arrives. I will take it only once or at most twice every week to see if it changes anything about my dreams and the ability to become lucid.
Tracking All My Progress!
So, like I've mentioned before, I will be tracking all my progress and I'll be posting about it every day here on Steemit. Also, after I achieve lucid dreaming, I won't stop posting about my experiences for some time still. When I achieve my goal, I will be writing down a lot of experiences that I have inside the dream world, and I'll experiment if it's actually possible to improve real life skills while sleeping. I set a personal goal to achieve lucid dreaming within 30 days starting today. I'm really excited and hopefully I'll be able to do that even faster than 30 days! This is not the first time I try to achieve lucid dreaming, but I never took it seriously and I was too inconsistent, so I never even came close to becoming lucid. But this time I'm gonna SMASH it and record the whole journey on this blockchain!
UPDATE: I achieved lucid dreaming for the first time on day 12
I'm going to lucid dream tonight!

This is a great enterprise. I used to write down my dreams all the time, as I am a vivid dreamer. I have not done the lucid in some time. I think this work you are doing is important as all of us dream and I am curious as to see any patterns there may be as a collective. This is the second post I have seen that mentions nudity, and the seeking to cover oneself up. I too have had these dreams in the past week, so a small sample, but it is there. What does it mean? I do not know as I think it is up to the individual to interpret their dream world. Thanks I will follow your journey.
Well, I've looked for interpretations and this is what I've found:
Going through different website there's always different interpretations, so it's really up to the person to interpret his dreams.
Nice! I am definitely interested in lucid dreaming. I have been having incredibly vivid dreams recently but havent been performing reality checks like i used to.
Whats your method for reality checking? I like to write something and see if its the same when i look back 😊
I do reality checks in many different ways. I pinch my nose and try to breathe through, I look at my hand and count my fingers, I try to push my hand through walls, I read text, I look at the time and so on.
