Happy October! I love the end of a seasonal quarter because I make a book of the last three months of dreams and stats. I haven't publish those collections or findings, but they’re always so much fun to make! September marks the end of the third quarter and I’m eager to get making.
It’s not all exciting though. This September also marked the lowest dream recall month I’ve ever recorded since I started this project in 2018. Of course, things always ebb and flow, so I am trying not to get too discouraged. That being said, 68 dreams from my usual 80-90 is pretty significant. On the plus side, my lucidity stats are on par with typical mid- to to low month, so I’m feeling positive about that! That tells me that even with lower recall, I’m still experiencing consistency with lucid dreams.
The “why” here feels fairly straight forward and amounts to more of the typical stressors than usual. More travel (first since the pandemic!), more stress at work (this time of year is my busiest), and more slowness and malaise (I was sick with a cold for a week or so in September). As a result, my practice took a nosedive and I just didn’t have enough optimal sleep for dreams. So, here we are. C’est la vie. ✨
