For the past few days I've been attempting to lucid dream with CAT. It looks like not many people here on DV have tried it or stuck with it, probably because it involves waking up ~90 minutes earlier than usual (and we all love our sleep). I decided to try it out so I could regulate my sleep schedule and hopefully motivate myself to finish my homework earlier.
I believe there's a DV tutorial for it, and the original guide can be found here .
Target Sleep Schedule: 10-10:30 PM to 5:00 AM
Usually I sleep at 12 and get up at 6:30 AM to get ready for school. I decided to push back my bedtime so I could get enough sleep.
Current Progress:
Day 1: 10:13 PM to 5:00 AM
I set my phone to vibrate at 5 (I'm a pretty light sleeper). Woke up briefly in the middle of the night after a pretty long dream to find that only about 3 hours had passed. Had a bit of a trouble forcing myself to get up, but motivated myself by thinking of having lucid dreams. Spent the extra time browsing DV and periodically doing RCs.
Day 2: 10:13 PM to 5:00 AM
Woke up briefly around 3, and wrote down my dream before going back to sleep. Then had my first lucid after a month of serious attempts :) It didn't last long, though. I got too excited. It was easier to get up at 5 this time.
Day 3: 11:10 PM to 5:00 AM (I should have slept earlier, but procrastinated :|)
Slept straight through to 5 without waking up earlier. Wrote down a short dream. Tried to remember to RC.
Day 4: 11:26 PM to 5:00 AM (Had trouble writing an English essay, ended up giving up and going to sleep later than I should have...)
Woke up around 3, wrote down a dream. Felt groggy today in school, but it was to be expected.
Day 5 (today, Nov 2 2013): 10:45 PM to 5:00 AM, stayed up until around 7:00 AM and tried WILDing.
Started writing down a long dream I had after waking up, wondered how much time I had before the alarm went off and found that it was ~4:58 AM. Is my body adjusting already? Or was that a coincidence? Anyway, I told myself I was going to get up at 8:30 AM and tried to WILD several times but couldn't really fall asleep until around 8:10 AM. Then I had my second lucid dream :D It was longer, though I didn't get to do much. It faded into a non-lucid dream afterwards, and I woke up around 8:30 AM.
Even if I don't manage to get through 2 weeks of CAT, I'm still satisfied with my progress. At least I know that I can lucid dream :)
