Dream
Intention (2255 the night before)
Have some catching up to do, work-wise. Sleep more important than detail, but would still like to try WBTS and "at least one sentence" compromise.
Two lucid dreams in a row would be rad.
Strawberry donuts incubation time!
Wake-Back-to-Sleep (logged at 0350 this morning)
No early dreams remembered, I don't think.
I want to:
- lucid dream
- incubate strawberry donut
- wake up at 0650
Wake (logged at 0650 this morning)
No dreams remembered, but did wake up at desired time. Thinking a lot of Legend of Korra for some reason. Perhaps I had some processing dreams.
It's not too late to remember, either. The dreams sometimes come to me during morning routine.
Also, still stoked about journal habit.
Scattered Fragments
The wife triggered a dream recollection (thanks the wife!).
I am in a large, communal kitchen. I am very hungry, but there is only steak to eat. I start cooking a steak on a cast iron. After it is finished cooking, I decide against eating it and give it to a passerby. I may have taken a bite and decided I really didn't want it, I'm not sure.
I am running down a highway road, in a tunnel. Cars are approaching, but I'm not obstructing traffic yet. Eventually, I see a walkable area and get out of traffic. This may have been a different dream.
Pre-nap (1206)
Drill dream habits, have good nap.
Post-nap (1223)
Something interesting came to me, but it melted away with everything else as I relaxed. Perhaps it will come back.
Meditation (Day 127)
Today's another prime number day, woo!
Intentions for the day:
- Stay in posture part of prep until you're prepared to set the intention to stay still
- Body-scan during the "focus on the breath throughout the body" beginning part of meditation
- Stage 4 intention (vigilance on keeping introspective awareness continuous)
- Fall back to stage 3 if necessary
- Note where the breath was when you label a distraction (attention, awareness, or forgotten)
- Try to catch a distraction as it enters awareness and/or attention
- Body-scan when few distractions and when focus not as vivid as could be
Post-Meditation (1000)
Super powerful day. Nothing super new to note. I'm reading more Mind Illuminated and am reflecting using the Mind-System model of the mind.
Will be reading mind illuminated until I've read through stage 7, so there'll be new info for me to make use of.
Experimental
Meeting and then a happy hour during the normally scheduled special meditation. Will try on weekend.
General Thinking
Already up too late here.... I think my form is leading to good dividends, in various places! Maybe I'll talk more about that over the weekend.
