    Insomnia and bad recall

    Date: 22 June

    As the title indicates this was not a pleasant night. All possible negative factors in one place (neighbors party, early wake, heat).

    Early frag: I got like 3 hrs of sleep, nice rebound from previous day and vivid dreams. It was the story of Mancon. [I think this has Dreamer's influence again]. Another DV member was involved a bit later on. In a later dream there was a brief part that included Sensei, but not enough of recall to claim a point for decent incubation.

    Mega insomnia and headache follows. Usually, I don't worry that much because I know this will most likely result in an ld, but this time sleep seemed as distant as the Andromeda galaxy.

    A minor ld in between the sleep attempts: Spent it flying in a new prayer style. Hands held together as if in prayer, I use them to set the direction. Some memory about imaging being pulled by a rope in the direction where I want to fly. It's kind of a cool style, close to the ground.

    There is another female DC in front of me flying the same style she is coming in my direction and we are about to crash, I let her phase through me - she doesn't hit me but seems to have passed to the side. I concentrate on the flying again and notice that I'm moving extremely slow, I try to speed up thinking about super speed but the movement gets even slower.
    Soon after I wake.

    I realize that I had totally forgotten about looking for Sensei. Continue turning and tossing without any hope of sleep, let alone dreams.

    Some rather deep sleep /dreams follow after I finally have the chance to fall asleep.

    Random frag: I have a nightmare involving my parents. It's absolute hell and my body jolts me out of it, in the last moments I know it's a dream but who would want to stay there?

    Ld fragment: I'm in a room with a female DC. This totally qualifies for the basic totm.

    Ld fragment: This was a pretty long ld block, but I'd say it was in a very deep sleep. While I managed to remain lucid for quite a while, I didn't have any recall about tasks or that I was supposed to do anything at all. I spent it with plan B - try to cover as much as possible for as long as possible.

    I reflect back on the ld with the woman in the room and make a mental note about it and count lds. (With the gaps in memory this is now rather irrelevant) Memory gap.

    I recall later on being on the street at night and lucid again. There's this man playing basketball and I say a few things to him. I continue walking around rather aimlessly and remember it being extremely physical and exhausting at some point as I cover quite a dream distance.

    The only action that I somewhat more decently remember is that there were a few snowmen painted somewhere and I got super excited about them and decided to summon more. I filled the entire street square with small and large snowmen, very cool and crazy!

    The dream went on with diminishing level of awareness
    . Didn't wake up straight away and had a few non-lds afterwards, so this messed memory even more.

      Interesting flying. Did that make things easier?
      Funny about the snowmen. I libe when summoning gets out of hand.

      You know what, I think it did help. Have to remember to try it again.

      Yes, that's what happens when we start improvising.

      I don't summon very often. I normallyteleport to the object of my desires. I used to fly really slow until old man taught me how to fly faster.

      Congrats on the lucids, Nyx, how'd I miss this one?? I love the part with the snowman mega-summoning! That sounds like so much fun. That sounds like the kind of thing that'd be advanced TotM if this were winter.

      Those impressive summoning chops will come in handy for the challenge!

      Thanks! I think I had some recall from last year's snowman task, which contributed to the excitement.

      Man, you guys are doing so great with the challenge, we certainly need to catch up with you.

      I think you're doing really well, too! The NLD incubation has been impressive. It seems like almost every night you're catching Sensei (I never get used to that name) on DreamViews. One of these times dreams he'll PM you that "You're dreaming!!!"
