LDN -the first attempt

Visibility: indefinable
Length: long
Triggers: Ideas podcast


After listening to the Ideas episode on sleep I tried to conciously interact with my dreams -I wanted to see if I could control my actions in my dream (which I've never been able to do well).

This is what happened:

Each time an event happened in my dream -any action, reaction, or interaction a big black and white tab (like the ones you use to mark pages in a book or binder) was placed over the episode -like I was tagging it to be remembered when I woke up. But, it backfired on me. All I could recall when I woke up was a jumbled mess of black and white tabs and I couldn't see what was behind them.

It also led to the dream being stunted and haphazard. Nothing flowed. As soon as something happened I would immediately tag it and lose concentration on what the action was so I'd have to basically start another dream.
