Lucid Dreaming | The Importance of keeping an Attempt Log

Keeping an attempt log is probably the best thing I did in my year of Lucid Dreaming practice , one which eventually led me to having Lucid Dreams . while everyone knows how important dream journaling is , barely anyone talks about how important keeping a log and report of your WILD attempts is .

An attempt log is a report on your present practices or indivijual WILD attempts . If you are practicing any sort of DILD methods , you can write :

  • Name of the practice :
  • General procedure - How YOU go on doing the said practice
  • Time since you are practicing that particular technique
  • The effect of that technique on your dream
  • The effect of that technique on your dream recall and vividity
  • The effect of that technique on your Lucidity
  • What you think are your shortcomings which are preventing you from gaining Lucidity
  • possible solutions to said problems


If your making a WILD attempt , write :

  • Time you went to bed
  • Time yo awoke for WBTB
  • Time you stayed up for WBTB
  • WILD anchor
  • Any extra quirk you made to the practice ( relaxation methods , combining some other technique etc )
  • Number of Dreams recalled after waking up for WBTB
  • Estimated time it took you to fall back asleep
  • Any subsequent awakening ( time and number)
  • The reason you think the attempt succeded/failed
  • Final wake time
  • Sleep quality
  • total sleep time


IMO Lucid Dreaming is figuring out what works best for you , putting those factors together and hoping that your brain chemistry is right . Logging really helps in finding these critical factors that may aid in Lucidity . It also really helps in finding out your REM phase , if you have a consistent sleep schedule after 10 - 12 days of Logging you will have a pretty rough idea about how your sleep works . The more factors you get right the easier it is to Induce an LD . Another important thing is that Attempt logging helps you to figure out your mistakes and then you can work towards fixing them
