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

      Sword Fight With Kid Me
      I'm at home, in the gameroom area, by the big round table.
      My past self is there. He looks maybe 8 or 9 years old. About the age when we went to Disneyworld.
      He says "Are you doing that dreaming stuff?"
      I tell him "Yep, trying to!" but I don't become lucid.
      Then we decide to have a sword fight. We're just imagining that we are holding swords.
      I take a few stabs at him, taking care to not accidently hit him with my arm.
      I chase him around the house a bit.
      At one point I sit down to rest and he remarks about how lazy I am.
      I say "Yeah, having a job will do that to you."
      ...
      There is a cat in a cat-carrier on the floor near the gaming table.
      I think to myself that I should let the cat out.
      I recall that the cat talked to me and asked me to release it, but I don't know if that actually happened within the dream.
      My sister's boyfriend N is there too.
      I let the cat out and tell N that he'll need to help me catch the cat later. He agrees.
      The cat saunters out lazily and lays down nearby. Totally chill. It seems satisfied that we helped it.
      I sit down by the fireplace near the cat. It splays its paws and I play with its footpads.
      My sister M is there, and they are talking about one of the third grade teachers from elementary school, Mr. A.
      I say "Oh! Is he still teaching?"
      M says that Mr. A used to call the place she sat the "Bitch-Chair".
      I think about how Mr. A was very perceptive, but don't say it.

      Recorded at 6AM, 66% through sleep cycle 5.
