I use my computer that is right near me as I sleep, I use notepad++ with the background set to dark grey, and the text set to deep red, so that It isn't bright, in theory I should always write something down but I have to stretch up to turn the monitor on. then type in the dark, then try to go back to sleep.

If I am awake for to long I don't go back to sleep (probably from the Melatonin I take for dreaming at high levels it causes insomnia), I always know when I am falling awake from a dream and wake after every one of them, but I have to choose to lie still and attempt recall or wake up and turn on monitor and type a bit (usually the recall gets better if I do because I can remember some random earlier thing and then fill back in), sometimes I think I'm falling sleep instead of awake tho and I try to WILD, but I also have to choose between trying to DEILD, never succeeded at either tho.

Today after like 6 dream cycles I triggered on awareness at 8:25 in the morning , I was so calm the dream didn't require stabilization, (stupidly I therefore didn't do it) I thought of some place nearby and the kinds of DC I wanted to be there, and instead they started walking into the room, I think the lucid part lasted like 1.5 - 3 minutes (its always hard to tell), I never got uncalm tho didn't even try to survive the void. It wasn't a go with the flow it was more of a be the flow of the dream, I was 100% aware and choosing what to do. But I was making stupid choices, only one dream objective achieved.
