Asleep: 12:50
WBTB: 4:30, 6:11, sometime around 7:15
Awake: 8:20
NLDs: 1 + 1 fragment
Lucids: 1

1. My auto-snooze alarm wakes me up. My eyes briefly open but I don't move. I'm laying on my side but in a weird position. I lay there relaxed. It feels like my legs are sinking physically, as if I was in a weird position and they were relaxing into a more comfortable position. I wonder if this will affect my attempt, but I don't worry about it. Eventually, I feel vibrations and the "deepening" physical sensation I've felt before. Also there was a wave of energy. Not much in the way of auditory or visual hallucinations. Eventually, I knew I was sleeping. I got up and did a nose-plug RC. I could breathe and was lucid. I was in my normal bed room. I got up out of bed and patted my body down from chest to lower legs. Then I slowly spun around in a circle to fill in my environment. Everything looked relatively normal. I walked to the door and went into the hallway. There were spots of water and footsteps as if someone had just gotten out of the shower and was walking around. I walked down the hall way. I woke up, possibly due to the uncomfortable position of my body.

2. Fragment - I'm traveling with two female friends. We are in some house on the 2nd floor. There are a couple guys around us, and one of them is hitting on my friend. He's being weird about it though; he's not talking to her. He's just standing really close. He keeps making these fighting gestures, not really towards me but just in general. It's like a "mating dance" to show her that he's worthy. There's 2 other guys near us who are "play" fighting similarly with themselves. I think it's amusing.

3. (FA) I wake up in bed. I lean over to T's side of the bed, because there is something on her nightstand. It's a large, green basket-type thing without a bottom. Inside are a box of large chocolates in unique shapes. I think how weird it is that earlier in the night I was able to turn down our white noise machine, even though this huge basket is in the way.

Notes - Can't believe I missed that FA! I need to get back in the habit of more regular RCs, especially when in bed and waking up in the middle of the night. Again an indication of heightened awareness because I knew that earlier in the night I had turned down our white noise machine, and I realized that it was weird that I hadn't noticed that large basket there. I'm very happy with the CAN-WILD. I don't always wake up to that alarm, but when I do, it's usually subtle enough that I don't move which gives me the opportunity for a CAN-WILD. I woke up to it 1 other time and didn't move last night, but I wasn't able to slip right back to sleep.
