    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Purpose
    Dreams, notes, and other experiments to assist in achieving high-quality lucid dreams on a regular basis.

    Terms
    Reality Check (RC): Action used to evaluate if one is dreaming. Common methods include plugging the nose and testing whether it can be breathed through, as well as inspecting one's hands for irregularities compared to waking reality.

    Memory Lapse (...): Where memory ends for a given stream of consciousness. For example, going to sleep in a dream and waking up in the dream later with no recollection of the sleep.

    Dream Initiated Lucid Dream (DILD): Lucid dreaming type that originates from the dreamer regaining awareness from within a dream.

    Wake Initiated Lucid Dream (WILD): Lucid dreaming type that originates from the dreamer maintaining awareness from waking near-directly into a dream.

    Wake Back To Bed (WBTB): Sleep cycle interruption technique used to achieve lucid dreams.

    Legend
    Blue: Denotes regular non-lucid dream recall.

      Sleep:1:00AM to 11:32AM (10hr32m)
      Detail: 687 words.

      Pre-WBTB

      No recall.

      Post-WBTB

      The Night City:
      I'm laying on a couch in a living room that doesn't resemble any place I can recall strongly.
      My sister shows up with a puppy, and there are a couple kids running around to play with it.
      Later I'm up, and there is a bug that one of the little kids is trying to catch. She has a bag of insects that seem content to hang out in the bag.
      ...
      I'm at a large open field, with a stone wall in front of me. The scene feels a bit distant, like it is zoomed out a little.
      I try to imagine grabbing onto the rock with my hands and I can feel the rock. It strikes me that this feels like a lucid dream transition (like a WILD) but that couldn't be.
      I decide to do a nose-check anyway and I can breathe.

      This is, in fact, a dream.
      I continue to climb the rock, not realizing that this is an excellent dream stabilizing exercise.
      When I get to the top, I "take off the VR goggles" and the world gets a bit clearer.
      I try to remember the pre-flight check plan, but I can't recall specifics of what I'm supposed to do.
      I just say "I'm theshirecat, and this is a dream!".
      ...
      I'm lucid again in a city at night. There is an outdoor festival happening, with food and people at a bar.
      I remember that I wanted to listen to the "people chatter" and see if it is nonsense like a video I had seen told me it would be.
      I decide to focus on that after I'm done talking to a couple of DCs.
      "Can you make a melody for me?" I ask one of them.
      The DC has a long oval face with short hair, and has a friend nearby on another stool.
      He seems confused so I ask again.
      "Like, if I sing, keep it going."
      I sing a short 4 note tune.
      He joins in at the end, with what seems like a couple random notes. That's OK, he tried.
      I leave the festival area and spy a large skyscraper, the tallest along the dark sky.
      There are lights all over the place and it is beautiful.
      "That one, I'm going to fly to that one."
      I kick off the ground superman-style and start zooming towards it.
      It doesn't get closer to me as fast as I expected, it must be very far away.
      "Faster. Faster!"
      I get modest increases in speed when I ask for it, but pointing my fists behind me gives a good boost.
      There are some electrical lines in my path, and I find dodging past them a challenge.
      I start to point my fists to adjust my trajectory to dodge them, and I succeed.
      I get above the tall building, and notice a pink portal in the center of it.
      I decide I'm going to fall directly into it from the air.
      I position myself, and do so.
      ...
      I'm in a sort of "in-between". Almost like a healing pod from Dragonball Z, and a living room is on the other side.
      It feels like my lucidity is hanging by a thread, that on the other side of the pod would be losing it.
      I try to keep my thoughts together, but I slip.
      ...
      I gain lucidity again in a small room. There are about 8-10 people being forced into an elevator. Hermione from Harry Potter is among them.
      Something is terrible about this, but I follow them into the elevator.
      The door closes behind us, and all is panic, but then I remember I can do whatever I want.
      I smash the elevator door, and shove it aside. Beyond it, there is elevator-like room.
      The people cheer for me breaking it, despite it not really helping the situation.
      Activities occur with Hermione.

      ...
      I've lost lucidity and I'm with my friend J in a jeep. We're going to go fishing for dinner.
      There is a small pond that makes it easy to catch fish. I feel very prepared for this trip, comparing it to another time where I hadn't been.
