I had an interview in the morning which I had a stressful dream about, I got the job though!
Not very detailed with this write-up because I left it quite late.

Dream 1 - Work stress
I was in some kind of competition to be a butler, like the one that happens in the Maid-Sama anime. I had to grab my clothes and get changed, but the person who was supposed to help me out completely fucked up. I couldn't find my shirt or anything and he was supposed have gotten it for me, I just got really stressed out because I was one of the last people to rush into the changing room and I was almost out of time.

Dream 2 - Jungle + pumpkins
From what I can remember there was some kind of competition (another one?) to do with a bunch of small groups getting together to collect certain items. We had a small wheeled tray which we put these items in, at first I was unenthusiastic about it because all the items would be compiled and shared between all the groups, so there wasn't actually a need for me to do anything. But I seem to get skeptical about this and also felt like it'd be a dick move to just leave it to my other group members to do the collecting. We're in a jungle-like area which opened up to a small grassy area with trees surrounding it. We have to get a pumpkin so we put that in the tray, but I notice that there's a giant slice of tomato (Like 1 metre long) in the tray. Gross, you just dumped the pumpkin on the giant tomato, now it's all slimy -.-... I move the pumpkin a bit so it's not on top anymore.

D₁-I was at my sisters TKD school watching people break cement plates (with their fingertips, heel kicks, etc.) whenever I decided it looked fun so I started screwing around and breaking some. There was this metal wall with parts of it had hollow cement plates so you could work on accuracy, thinking it'd be interesting to see if I could actually break the cement plates I started fingertip thrusting and bladder striking the plates out of their socket. The plates wouldn't break but would fly out and spin like crazy in the air. My sisters instructor asked me if I wanted to actually go to the class and I was feeling happy-go-lucky so I agreed. He started showing me how to stretch for a 180° round kick. He kept repeating, slow and steady, slow and steady.

Dream skip

D₂-I visited a church I went to as a child and started going to the youth group regularly (even though I'm in college). My friend's brother, Jacob, started to sit beside me whenever I came. One day (mind you this is all a dream) a girl started hanging all over him before our bible session started and he looked over at me with a *please help me she won't get off* kinda look. Feelin bad for the guy I walked over and said," Oh hey mind if I borrow him for a bit, his boyfriend texted me the other day and you know how catty he can get if he's given the silent treatment for too long." The girl scrunched her face up into the ugliest, snobbiest look a person could possibly make and got up out of his lap (she had previously straddled him). Jacob's face was bright pink the whole time.

Shitty recall this morning. I think it's because of the painkiller I took right before bed.

I'm sitting in the train together with 2 friends, though I can't recall who. We exit, leaving our stuff behind, and go somewhere else for a while. Whatever it is we're doing, it takes us 30 minutes to get back to the train. The train had been waiting for us, like a taxi. We board the train again and I think to myself how selfish this was of us, plus impractical. People here have been waiting for 30 minutes, while there's a new train every 15 minutes. We could've just taken our stuff with us and taken a later train upon returning to the station.

As the title suggests, I'm embarking on a journey to master the gravity RC posted by Hukif (Post Located Here). I've always been interested in this specific technique, as it logically makes sense how it would have a high success rate, despite the overwhelming initial learning curve. However, I'm going to try my best and work towards daily lucidity. For the RC, I am focusing on the feeling of weight on my shoulders/arms, and on my legs, specifically my calves. This way, I'm highly attentive whenever I'm walking, when I'm sitting (feeling of weight of arms on whatever surface), and when I pick something up. Specifically, I tell myself to RC whenever I pick something up, because that's an obvious indication of weight.

I will report how attentive I was at the RC for a daytime recap, and do a nightly journal. The attentiveness scale ranges from 0 - 100, where 0 is me giving the RC no thought at all, and 100 indicates the RC was in the back of my mind for the entirety of the day, in all aspects of my goals and how it relates to lucidity. I will also give a quality indicator, which is my opinion on how mindful I was towards the RC when I was actually doing it. For example, was I just noticing the gravity, or was I subconsciously questing whether the gravity was appropriate to whatever action I was doing? 0 indicates no questioning (for example, something could be abnormally heavy and I wouldn't so much give it a second thought, and 100 indicates that I'm properly questioning all aspects of the RC as it relates to the nature of dreams with respect to reality).

Day 1

Attentiveness: 5/100
Quality: 50/100

Thoughts: Man. This RC is hard! No wonder so many people kinda give it up. I would say my attentiveness towards the RC ran in 5-15 minute bursts, but I would quickly forget about it for an hour or so before jolting myself aware again. Also, the observations towards gravity were very 'forced' and 'awkward.' It's the same kind of feeling you would get if you were learning a new scale on the guitar; at first, you practice very intentionally and meticulously with the hope that it will become more natural in the future. Similarly, the observations I make with gravity with respect to my body feels very forced. Hopefully, this will improve in time. For the duration that I was RCing today, I was quite proud of the quality for the first attempt.
There's certainly a lot more to take into consideration than just feeling weight on a body part.

Night 1

Let's see...last night I vaguely recall around 3 dreams, but I only noted 1 in my voice recorder. There were several opportunities in my recalled dream in which I could've implemented the gravity RC. Got to keep this in mind.

Dream 1: Searching for a Training Crank

I was in a classroom, similar to my computer classroom is high school. There was an unusual amount of desks inside the room, cluttering it. My father apparently was apart of some OP training faction, and was with his friend, who I noticed was also in crazy shape. His friend was running on the treadmill, and his legs were moving so fast they were a blur (Should've questioned this). Desiring crazy physical fitness too, I asked my dad for a way to get in better shape. He recommended some kind of resistance crank that would train my endurance. I apparently heard him say the crank was in the front pocket of his gym bag, but my cousin, who was also in the room at the time, corrected me, saying that the keys to his truck were in the front pocket, and that the crank was in my father's truck. At this point, he called me a dumbass. I tried to retort with some lame joke.

There were so many desks in the room, I had to crawl under them just to make it to the exit (opportunity for gravity RC?). Outside, it was dark, and I was looking at the driveway of my home (should've noticed that the inside of the room I was in wasn't actually a room in my house). Going to my father's truck, my hands were shaking trying to unlock the door with the keys. The darkness was very unsettling for some reason, and I had a feeling that someone was going to come up from the street and mug me. The truck was extremely cluttered inside. I was going to use my phone as a light source, but apparently it died. I ended up not being able to find the crank.

I'm over at a childhood place at Crestveiw and I'm in a living room. It is daytime outside and I'm flying around. I'm in from of a Megazord box or something that I like on TV showing it to them. I then feel heavy and descend to the ground and land. Frustrated I punched the carpeted floor and then realized that in a dream this could be someone and quickly said sorry to the floor. lol. It was an olive green carpet and next to me was something black that looked like old gum. I stood up and tried to fly again but to no avail.
