December 13,
WILD attempts last night failed. I think this is due to the last two nights of drinking. I didn't sleep a lot so I was very tired. Last night my dream recall wasn't so great, but I did remember one dream very clearly. I woke up to my alarm for WILDing but was too tired each time and when I finally did attempt to WILD but I think I had slept too much because I couldn't focus and my mind was racing. Anyways, I've posted up sticky notes reminding me to RC. I put them on my door, by the light switch, by my bed and on the mirror. I've also written RC on my hands. I can only hope that if my WILD attempts keep proving uneventful that I can at least have some spontaneous DILDs. WILD is of course the most alluring method of LDing, but DILD makes enough sense as a backup. So long as I can induce an LD I'll be satisfied. Out of the only OBE and the two LDs I've had, I have an undying curiosity. I just wish I was a natural at this. -.-

Like it was said in my favorite scene of Inception: There's nothing quite like it..

The dream I can remember: I am in highschool. It's weird because I haven't been in highschool for two years, and for two years before that I haven't actually been in school. In my dream I seem to think I need one more year to get my diploma. I am in school with girls I went to cosmetology school with. I don't find it strange that they are there. I remember being frustrated and angry because I have no idea where any of my classes are and I keep getting scolded for being late. I remember going to an english class, and going to a japanese class. At lunch I kept trying to go smoke a cigarette but I kept getting distracted. I remember freaking out because I realize that I do have a diploma and that I have no reason to be there, but instead of freaking out or leaving I run into my homeschool teacher who seems to be telling me how good I'm doing or something. I figure if my teacher thinks I need to be in highschool that it must be true.

I guess there were not a lot of dream signs. I don't recall opening a lot of doors, having to turn a light on or off and I didn't look in a mirror. I'm just hoping the more I RC the better my chances will be. Especially since I've been doing RCs each time I wake up or even get out of bed. Also, aside from the sticky notes, I have put a water fountain thing next to my bed. I'm hoping to use the sound of running water as an anchor. I also have my ipod and a pair of speakers for it next to my bed. If the water anchor doesn't work very well the next few nights I'll try some ambience or something.

I will do it! I can only hope all my trying leads to me more frequent LDs, and maybe some of my trying will help others.
(on another note I'm trying to eat better and take my vitamins. I don't know if it will help, but I can't imagine it can hurt.)
