1. I woke up only 2 hours and 40 minutes after going to sleep to use the restroom and recalled fragments of this dream. I believe this is the first dream I've recalled in an earlier REM period since starting my dream journal. The first scene I remember is a sexual scene on a bus or train, where we are trying to hide what we are doing from others. (Memory Blank) The girl with whom the scene occurred and I are now in the forest by a house that is hidden from the public. I wrote down "witness protection" as a tag but do not recall where I got that from. I see her walking along a path with her friend. But the way I see her is by watching a reflection that somehow exists in the forest, although there is no mirror or other surface that could give off such a reflection. I see myself as well, and I am wearing blue jeans and white T-shirt. Her friend says she notices me immediately. I think I am a bodyguard. I don't remember anything else.

2. I am at an amusement park in this large mansion. Several of my co-workers are also there. It is a weird, horror mansion. All the works there are evil (as I found out later in the dream). I have the sense of this being a long dream and of experiencing a lot while exploring the mansion, but I don't recall details. At one point, I learn that my co-workers are looking for "treasure" that is kept in the mansion. It turns out the whole time the treasure was on the necklace worn by the woman who owns the mansion, whose room was on the top floor. It is a necklace with a ridiculously large pearl that is worth (only?) $7,000. There is a fight while my co-workers are looking for the treasure and somehow the necklace ends up on the ground. (Memory blank). Now out of the amusement park, I'm in a different location and receive a call from one of my co-workers asking about the necklace. I wake up.

Notes - Since I had insomnia the past two nights, I was very tired. I think I slept very deeply as a result and had trouble recalling my dreams. I woke up several times in the later morning hours with the feeling of having been dreaming, but could not remember. Additionally, T did not go into work this morning and she often moves around when I wake up which is distracting during recall. Furthermore, I fell asleep so quickly last night that I did not do MILD nor auto suggestion. However, I did wake up to use restroom at 2:18 and I did MILD then. After, I found it somewhat difficult to go to sleep so I was awake for about 45 minutes. Then, at a later awakening, I did a full SSILD induction after which I went to sleep but did not have a lucid dream.
