    1. Night of Thursday 10/12/23 (DILD)

      This one caught me off guard. I've failed to go to bed at my planned times, so I didn't attempt a WBTB. But regardless, my brain decided to give me a lucid dream

      Went to bed around 3AM.

      Lucid Fruit
      I'm in the backseat of an SUV/minivan looking out the window.
      I get a vague sense that the world looks too bright so I do a nose RC.
      I can't believe it, but
      I'm dreaming!
      I look around and admire the world. It's a bright sunny day.
      I'm with a family. It might have been my girlfriend's but I didn't look closely.
      The car parks at a grocery store parking lot.
      I decide to roll withe flow of the dream and walk with the group to the entrance of the store.
      When we get in, I see a man stocking the fruit near the front of the store.
      I decide that I should stabilize and I start rubbing my hands.
      I try to remember if I have any specific goals in mind, but there is what feels like a block on my memory.
      I ask the man how I can better stabilize the dream. He tells me to touch all the fruits and feel the surfaces.
      I start to do this, but the dream fades.


      Woke up around 12:30PM.
