February Dream Summary

February was a wild ride! Things started to become more “normal” in some ways and in other ways, I flipped things all around! I’ve started closely monitoring health and fitness to see how it might shape my life and dreams and I’ve jumped into a “creative sabbatical,” taking a little break from the corporate world. It’s still very new for me, and I am very eager to see where and how this time goes for me. So thrilled!

Despite all this change and excitement (which usually means fewer dreams), I experienced a nice spike in recall this month, which is always interesting! In any case, I so look forward to seeing how March and beyond take shape as I enter this new creative period. I’ll be working on so many dream projects that I look forward to share at some point. Stay tuned!

Let’s look back at February stats! ✨

January Dream Summary

January started off pretty rough and stayed that way for several weeks. Despite all my efforts to avoid it, I caught Covid the first week of the month. Yes, it was "mild" (I suppose), but I was certainly knocked out and spent the first half of the month fighting it. Those early days were all over the place with lots of sleep, too little sleep, poor quality sleep, and NyQuil sleep... needless to say, dreaming wasn't the priority. But, I continued the practice regardless. Phew! I'm super glad to bid farewell to January in good health (finally)!

December Dream Summary

Wow! December flew by with lots of rest and family time. I was so grateful to fly home for the holidays since missing it last year. I always run the risk of low dream recall and practice while traveling, but December was surprisingly fruitful! One of my highest months to date! In fact, when I looked back on previous Decembers, it’s consistently a high recall month! I love looking back at those kinds of stats, and look forward to see if those trends remain in the future.

With the end of December, of course, comes a new year to celebrate. I’m thrilled to jump into 2022 with a big heart, open mind, and clean slate to accept what dreams may come. But before I get ahead of myself, let’s look back at December stats! ✨

November Dream Summary

Time is moving forward so quickly, and I know that I say that each month, but with the holidays around the corner, it seems particularly fast right now. I’ll be honest, November was a tough month at work and in life. Lots of projects at work, and lots travel for some good times, and some sad times. I am extremely excited for things to slow a bit in December and to dedicate more focused time to family and dreams.

All that being said, November was a big dreaming month for me! I’ve been going through a prolonged period of fewer dreams and lower lucidity, which I have consistently attributed to a lighter practice in the last year. Since launching a huge project in November, and clearing some runway in my mind, I’ve been practicing a bit more and seeing increased results - of course!

I’m so looking forward to finding even more time in 2022 to expand and develop new practices, goals, and experiments. Until then, let’s reflect on November dream stats! ✨

October Dream Summary

Happy November, wow! I can’t believe how fast this year is flying by and the holiday season is just around the corner! October was one of my busiest months in recent memory with so much work and life activity that it was hard to keep up! September was a slow dream month as well, but such is the tides of a consistent dream practice. We cannot be disappointed because life happens. We must simply accept and continue.

Despite my little busy bee of a schedule, I still had plenty of exciting dreams and nights to explore my imagination, though my lucidity dipped quite a bit. Nonetheless, I look forward to the next few months as we get into the slow down of the holidays where I will have more open space to get back into the habits and practices of active dreaming! ✨

September Dream Summary

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. ✨

August Dream Summary

It’s September and as always, it’s as busy as ever! I’m excited to roll into fall with some upcoming travel (the first plane trip since the pandemic!) and holidays. While the next few months will be jammed packed with work projects and get togethers, it will also be filled with quiet time, rest, and reflection. I’m very much looking to slowing down a little bit this winter and spending more time with my meditation and dream practice! Because August was so hectic (and September and October will be much the same), my dreams have taken the proverbial “back seat.” This trend has been ongoing for a while now, but I hope to recalibrate in the near future, and bring back more focus and dedication soon!

July Dream Summary

Happy August! The summer has been quite lovely with some relaxing, local trips, and getting back into the general swing of things. I continue to feel hopeful and positive and wish everyone well wherever they may be. July has been another "usual" month, though I am starting to focus more on physical and mental health with a great emphasis on nutrition, fitness, and mindfulness in the coming months. I'm looking forward to seeing how these focus areas affect my dreaming; I suspect quality and lucidity will grow! Of course, I will report findings, challenges, setbacks and progress as I continue to evolve and prioritize health. Onward! ✨

June Dream Summary

I’m thrilled that summer is upon us and the pandemic is slowing down (at least in the US). I’ve been less stressed about the state of the world, and my mindfulness practice has been kickstarted yet again. I’m feeling more optimistic these days, and June was full of bright lights and happy moments. As we move in to July, I am eager for the rest of the summer to take shape with more dreams, more visits with friends, more local trips, and more wellness. I’m hoping the rest of the world continues to fight covid so we can all open and share in spaces together again. For now though, let’s look at June Dream Stats! ✨

May Dream Summary

May is my birthday month, and I’m excited to have celebrated with lots of dreams and lucidity! Despite the downward trend of recall in the last few moths, I'm still excited and encouraged to continue the practices. Work and life are always so busy, and May has been busy as ever! That's why I believe it's so important to practice with "as little disruption" as possible to daily life. That way you can practice regardless of the natural ebb and flow of stress and calm. Check out my post on The Path of Least Disruption to learn more about how I do it. Now, on to May stats!

April Dream Summary

April was the start of another season of living and dreaming, and I'm so excited to reflect on the ❄️winter, and move into the 🌸spring and summer months. It's always such fun to look at my little dream "cards" each night, and I've been posting all of them by season here.

The most exciting thing about April was reaching the an incredible milestone of logging a total 3,000 Dreams since June 2018! What! I'm so incredibly proud of this achievement, and because I love data so much, there's a post with more of those details here.

March Dream Summary

With so many stressors this month (and the last three months!) my dream life was a bit chaotic. My meditation practice has taken a nosedive for the last several quarters, and my intentions and focus have been all over the place. But I press on every day, dedicating energy and space to my dreams. I really look forward to the spring and summer months ahead with renewed energy, spirit, and growth. And of course, on more intentional work with my nighttime rituals! Here’s what my busy March looked like in dreams.

February Dream Summary

A little bit of a slow month this February, and I suspect March will be the same. The beginning of the year started off incredibly busy and stressful at work and has continued through the entire month! I do believe my workload will shift and settle down a little bit in April, so I look forward to a reprieve then. For now, and as I look ahead, I will prepare for leaner dreaming months and be perfectly okay with it. It kind of works well for a winter hibernation, don’t you think?

January Dream Summary

The beginning of the year was all the things: celebratory, tumultuous, and just more of the same, same. January continued with the many ups and downs and twists and turns that has defined much of 2020, but I like to think that I have remained resilient. My dreams have continued on as usual, with higher sparks in lucid dreams and fantastical content. I’ve been enjoying the playful nature that my dreams often show me as a respite from the monotony of ongoing shelter in place and working from home. Still, I’m optimistic about 2021, and I look forward to seeing each month unfold.

December Dream Summary

And with that, it’s the end of the year! What a wild ride it’s been. December was a full month of dreaming a lucidity, one of my highest on record! I can’t believe that we’ve made it through this year, and I am so grateful to my continued health and sanity. I always chuckle a little when I think about my hobby - sleeping can be done from anywhere! I’m lucky and grateful that the pandemic could support it.
