Compared to the previous night, I was able to recall multiple dreams, but lucidty within them still alludes me. Without a doubt, there are variables within my daily actions that have an immediate effect on my ability to remember and control where I go while dreaming.
A list of the things I can do to help me have more control over my experiences in the astral:
1- Do not smoke cannabis within a 24(or more) hour period prior to sleeping
2- Do not go to sleep within a set time frame after eating food (let my body digest it while awake so that my bodies energies are not doing so while asleep and thus pulling my awareness from astral consciousness)
3- Retain seminal fluid (an incredibly potent source of energy within the male body that can be transfused and used for overall greater awareness, determination, and focus)
4- Meditate prior to sleep / practice visceral mental conjuration while falling asleep (feel, smell, hear, sense what I create in my mind)
5- Take notice of the moon cycles. Anticipate dream potency around new and full moons
6- Sleeping posture
7- Breathe work and awareness of breathe
8- Intentionally waking up using an alarm during sleep then returning to sleep with intended awareness
9- Avoid acidic / sugary foods that evidently calcify my pineal gland
10- Continue actively writting down my dream recall even if minimal
Take these tips into consideration for your own practice, for I am writting them both as a reminder to myself and to share with you. I'm glad it takes effort, dedication, and focus to be able to achieve a more fruitful experience in the astral, because it means I just have to take things that much more seriously if I want to experience that which I seek.
There are worlds of wisdom and awe out there and in there for me to explore, and the only thing stoping me from getting to them is myself. I take full responsibility for where I go from here.
See you on the other side.
