non-lucid

2:17 a.m.

I was sitting in front of a table. The place seems familiar. A canteen. I was talking with a friend (Jade?) who I haven't seen in a few months. There were other people there I believe. The color theme seems white.

I was talking with him when he took offense at what I said. He stood up and said something (I can't remember now). I was answering back. He was sarcastic. I was just being calm. He left after saying something sarcastic (something about sleeping with friends). I let him walk away and told the other people there that sometimes you lose some friends.

Then there were trains and others.

Suddenly, I was talking to Ivan and a memory about attending a PK jam shook me awake.

NOTES:

- Woke up feeling tired and almost sick
- I had minimal sleep during the week because I was attending whole-day training and trying to work at night.
- I wasn't able to do much exercise.
- I was drinking a lot of coffee during the week.
- I feel sleepy most of the time.
- I slept around 11 a.m. and set alarm to 1 p.m. so I can prepare.
- I woke up 1 p.m. but promptly fell asleep.

August 23rd 2013 - Focused on RRC during the day. I have been slacking off on my daytime practices and it has been showing.
11+ 410 At some function related to my #business with a #tall #sexy #Asian colleague. Another tall sexy Asian woman is there relating some mnemonic device that is supposedly commonly used to remember some rule related to the business. She stands close to me and I say that I always tease my colleague about how tall she is (false memory)...I guess I should tease you as well! I look at her face more closely and say "Damn you're gorgeous!" #boldness .. She really likes that and moves closer to me #flirting back. She calls someone on her cell phone and makes arrangements for us to go to some house together. Something about her kids who she's leaving behind tonight. We are now #driving to this house supposedly when she #disappears and some tracking device tracks her to...underneath the car! (I literally get goose bumps recollecting this detail while I write this during WBTB.) / let's take some pictures! #GirlFriday and her first pictures feature some under boob cleavage. I'm even so bold #boldness to touch the cleavage suggesting that I am semi lucid. I take some other pictures including a shot down from the top of her. / coach M and his wife A at some fundraiser giveaway event. I found them when I went inside the auditorium. There were other people there that I knew or I had a false memory of knowing. Possibly J's mom "J" - my son's old classmate's mom. I also have a bunch of stuff that I got from the giveaway and I see my eldest brother in law outside heading to his car with some stuff and I realize it's a good opportunity do not have to carry all this stuff. Someone like J comments on where am I going to put all that stuff in my house and I realize I have enough junk already. / *I wake up from the dream wishing that I had cut some of those details and became lucid but my dreaming mind threw me a little help in the next dream. I get a call from coach M it was featured at last dream and he asks me where I am. I tell him I'm on one of the main streets in the town where he lives and I am walking. I'm almost to such and such street. He says ok meet me in five minutes at the corner of X Street. When I get down to that intersection it becomes a dead end and it is not supposed to and at the same time I noticed there's a party at the house on the left and I can hear my friends voice, J from up north 90 minutes from here. I'm already suspicious and semi lucid to hear him here when I'm supposed to meet coach M. Logic tries to tell me that it may just be someone that sounds like J. So I look around in one of the rooms and sure enough there is sitting J. I say out loud this is a dream and he looks at me funny but I immediately start thinking about my goals. I remember reviewing DutchRaptors goals to test your lucidity and felt that the only ones that I hadn't tried specifically before were the week four goals. I thought about a future event and when I thought about this when I read the goals I couldn't think of any big events coming up even during the day! But then I thought of one. During the dream I thought of a completely different one coming up this coming Thursday. I named what it was (the one at 8:30am not 6pm). I've then thought about what I do during the day which was one of his other goals or tests. And I was able to name that exactly. I start losing the dream here. 193 But I think it may have just been the end of REM. / *earlier I had a super short lucid in which I was in a false awakening and I could hear my son making gasping sounds and I am running down the hall frantically looking for him to try to help him assuming he's choking or something. The scene goes dark on me and I realize that I'm dreaming and I calm down and realize that there's nothing to worry about, that my son should be just fine. I wake up. 192 / I have lots of dreamlets that go, on average, about 10 seconds each - full scenes and all and one of them feature
2 sexy Asian girls like in my first dream but not tall and these two are twins in matching black dresses. As you can see I like women from all over the world! My only type is feminine and sexy!

Quick notes 8/12 & 8/15 short LDs

8/15 I am in a community shower setting like in a gym and I see this short Asian woman little heavy set naked walking in front of me semi-lucid. I feel as if I become lucid as I step into a big shower room with lots of naked women various ages I only notice attractive ones but not sure if that's just my focus. I can feel my thing swinging between my thighs and I reach for it and it is a good size

Spoiler for X-Rated:

and perfect for "slapping some hoes" with it!

I have a great time. I do it in a sexy way it seems and it is a lot of fun! I wake up to my alarm, smiling! 191

8/12 scene turns dark...I fly slowly forward...hard to tell if actually flying. I just keep moving forward. 190

Dream - 9:30AM

I'm at Stone Hill house with Josh and Brother. I'm having some pre-drinks before heading out. Brother offers Josh a beer, but he declines. He say's that he doesn't want to wake up with a hangover and that he will drop $20 on drinks as soon as he gets there.

I'm now sitting in the backseat of a car. Daryl is driving, Josh is in passenger seat and Brother is sitting in the back with me. We're driving down the road where epilepsy OP shop is when my Brother realizes he has left his necklace at home. We insist that we will drive back and get it, but Brother say's no due to being a hassle. Daryl looks to second guess himself a couple times, missing the turn off each time. Eventually he pulls into the turn off and begin to head back to get the necklace. I tell my Brother that he was using reverse psychology
I begin to think if I have left anything at home as well. I see a checklist of things that pop up in my vision. Some of the text is different colors. Designer underwear isn't checked, so I must be wearing normal underwear.

Dream Fragments

7:55AM

1. Jail

2. I see a picture of a famous person being used for a meme

3. Talking to Josh about leg size decrease due to not training for a month

Side Notes

Head had larger amount of pressure last night due to big day and cheating on my diet

I am in a walled city that feels like Ba Sing Se (From ATLA) mixed with the city from Attack on Titan. (God help me for the name.) The city is supposedly a refuge for people who possess any type of magical or special power.

I am in a district of the city that has these tall cubic glass skyscrapers and all of these lighted signs written in an incomprehensible language. It looked to be one of the wealthier districts of the city.
I cannot recall much until these five kids show up. They are the villians; Supposedly each one of them has the power to turn into a monster that is representative of the world's greatest fears.
One monster is representative of the fear of spiders. It is a large humanoid with spider legs coming from its back. The entire monster is made of millions of spiders and held together with spider webbing. Also, for some reason, the monster has an oven in its chest that spiders come out of.
Another monster is representative of death and is represented by a hulking humanoid form that is made of a mass of bones.
Another monster is representative of the fear of becoming overweight (because I guess that ranks among the five greatest fears in the world) and is a huge grease blob.
I cannot recall what the remaining two monsters were. I think one of them had to do with bees.
Then Goku (Dragonball) and Soul&Maka(Soul Eater) show up. I think the guy from Onepeice was there too (Can't recall his name). There were many other characters there as well, all of them looked like heroes, but I cannot recall any more at this time. Goku is supposedly the captain of the city's defense force. He starts yelling orders to everyone on how to fight the monster.
Then I 'remembered' that I was a demon weapon too (Soul Eater) but I couldn't remember who wielded me. I just recall that I was some kind of sword or spear and somebody was using me. While I was in weapon form, I could still see, but everything was a dark blue color. Whoever was using me was fighting the spider monster.

Hi guys, this morning I went back to bed after eating breakfast and it resulted in an LD.
I used the LD to test some things that I was discussing with other oneironauts in this thread.

1. For science!* (DILD)

I'm walking around in a city with my family, there are very wide plaza's everywhere and the sky is grey probably raining soon. We seem to be the only people her and decide to leave, then I remember we forgot a small dark bag at the place we just came from. As I tell them to go back I snap lucid and try Climbing up a small tower we just walked by. When I got up the tower/building I wanted my family to leave so they wouldn't distract me, I noticed the dream getting weaker so I shout "CLARITY!" which boosted the vividness of the dream. As I stood on the roof I thought of the thread on DV in which I discussed a possible new RC/inducer. Basicly opening or closing your ear-channels in the same way as when you yawn. I tried it several times but I didn't feel any change of pressure in my ears nor did I hear any pop or air. After probably 10 attempts I noticed a small yet sharp sting in my right ear so I decided to stop. I got back on the ground where suddenly my bed was, the dream was slowly falling apart and I tried stabilizing by hugging the side of the bed but it was too late and resulted in the following FA.

2. How late is it?

I wake up in my bed and I notice it's dark, after checking my alarm clock it shows 23:20 which confuses me slightly. I roll over and notice my father's old alarm clock between the two pillows on my bed, I don't think it showed a time but it did have a heart rate monitor. I tested my own heart which looked normal on the scan.

3. Mediëval sabotage

I'm looking down on a large mediëval city, I hear someone suddenly tell me sabotage is going on after which my view is focused on a large soap-factory. Then I get a warning and see a person sneak into my house somewhere in the city, it looks like he wants to sabotage my house now. Then I'm in a barn and see the person walking in, another person waits for him behind a door and begins throwing tomatoes at him. The thief tries to get on the second floor of the barn but can't reach it because of the constant impacts of the tomatoes against him.

There's this pair of vampires in an apartment, a young white girl and a tall black man, and today slavery has officially ended. There's celebrations in the street, fireworks. But the sense of time's a bit off - although the vampires and the apartment look like the 1800s, at some point in the conversation it's mentioned that this is 1933, and the view outside the window looks it. The girl turned him a long time ago and they've been traveling together since. It's been a good deal for both of them - since she looks like a kid, she needed someone who looks like an adult to get by in the world; and under slavery, he needed someone to pretend to belong to. Now that's over, he intends to leave. The kid was surprised by this, hadn't expected it at all - they're close, it's not just a convenient arrangement for survival, so it hadn't occurred to her that he'd want to be on his own if he could. They went straight from celebrating to fighting.

He's saying, "You don't think I prefer another kind of life for-" I'm not certain which pronoun he used then - I wrote it down as 'you', and I think he'd been talking about his concern for her at this point, but she responds as if he'd said 'myself.' She went cold and distant before answering. By another kind of life, he'd meant as opposed to vampirism, and she doesn't take that well. So after a long pause, she says, "But you've got mine."

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

I'm Howl, a version with black feathers cropping up - a patch of it at my throat at all times, and mixed in with my hair - speaking English throughout the scene, but no Welsh accent. I speak very mildly and seem distant - it's an affectation, particularly when I'm annoyed, and at the moment I'm very annoyed.

Sophie got fed up with me and left after a day or so in the castle. But now my spells have alerted me that she's back in town - just sitting there, inexplicably, not coming home. I'm seeing an image of her sitting down on a low stone wall somewhere, grumbling to herself. Since she's gone to the trouble of coming back to town, we both know she'll be back at my door eventually, she's got nowhere else to go - I'm convinced she's just refusing to come back now out of sheer stubbornness. So I spell her back, have the winds scoop her up and carry her through town, into the house, and drop her in a chair at the table. She complains about this of course, but now that I see her up close, it occurs to me that possibly she couldn't physically walk back to the house - she looks tired and sore.

I'd been in the middle of making dinner when she turned up, and I bring her a plate while she complains at me. Talking about dinner and ridiculous stubbornness, at some point I compare her to my brothers, and she looks aghast at the thought of me having brothers. Did she think I sprang from the ether? "Monstrous. How many of you are there?" I have quite a few brothers actually. Our mother's immortal, like myself - I've visited her just recently as a matter of fact. Sophie says, "You're like rats in a field."

When someone characterizes me as a monster, my habitual response is to prove them right, so I'm leaning into her from across the table in a way that's not physically humanly possible. "Our father's place is human," I say, very mildly. And in response to something else I know she'd been wondering about, I add, "And I'm a married man." I retract back to my side of the table. The point there was less a reference to my wife, who's out of the picture, and more a reference to the existence of my son, confirming that the boy whose pictures she'd been looking at earlier is my son.

(Woke up. Side note: It's been ages since I've had a Howl dream, so when I saw the HMC task of the month I'd hoped it would spark something like this. Success! Not a success at the TOTM of course - this wasn't the task, or lucid at all - but a non-lucid dream with the plot I wanted is even better.)

And a quick dream from yesterday: As Rumpelstiltskin, I'd been following someone who'd stolen something from me. I used a spell to keep the light from falling on me, and then another for shadows to hide me. Then I'd walked myself off the road and left my body hidden among the fallen leaves while the rest of me went on. Finally I tried some spell that failed - I lit up with golden light from within with the effort of it, shining through the lines in my skin, but I was unable to succeed. Giving up for now, I call Belle. She asks, "What has (some name) got on you that-" I interrupt her. "My dagger." She goes silent. It's not the thing they stole at this moment, and they don't know how to use it, but they have it; they're a threat to be taken seriously.

Just started to record my dream journals again, lets hope I keep this up.

I just had one large dream last night, it started at a place I have dreamt before. It was kind of a big castle where you could get innertubes and go into big groups with a giant lake below it. You could descend unto this gateway ramp that would lead you straight into the river. Most of my family was there and also some of my friends. Apparentlly we had just finished something and my friend and I wanted to go innertubing but I told my friend maybe next time because we were heading to go do something else. I do remember from the last dream that the place was a ton of fun, maybe I will have to try it out in my next lucid.

Anyways the next place we went to was a huge banquet room and we were eating a meal. Towards the end of the meal there was some game we were playing with a red button that flashed at each persons table and when you pressed it someone else had to answer a question. My uncle pressed the button and someone else far away had to answer a question, then somehow I guess the game was rigged and my uncle had to answer the next question. He said something sarcastic about Barack Obama (even though in real life he is pretty liberal) and everyone in the banquet laughed and I felt kind of bad for him. Then after the meal was over we went outside and someone in my family told me two guys wanted to talk to me about a prosecution or something. They said "and we will be investigating" and so I said investigating what? they would not respond and talked about something else then left.

At this point I went back to the room at the table where to help the man clean up from the meal, but I saw that he had it under control. I then realized I was naked and looked for a towel to wrap around myself but there was none. So I just decided there was nothing I could do so I just did not conceal myself whatsoever and walked proudly (lol) through the hall, the rest of the area looked like a movie theatre and not that many people actually saw me until I walked to the nearest bathroom, where as I was walking into the bathroom a cleaning lady (who was rather attractive for a cleaning lady) told me I should be dressed lol, and I went into the bathroom and found a towel. I don't think I remember much after that.

Okay so two nights ago I a very short lucid dream. I all recall is becoming lucid, trying to do something, having a false awakening, and then becoming lucid again, and then having another false awakening and then waking up. I think I'm only going to count this as one lucid dream, because I never actually woke up.

Dream - Lucid

I was watching someone play a harder version of Super Mario 64. He was talking as he was playing.

~

Something about some kind of loan approval, but it was at Kohl's? I don't think I got approved for one. I was talking to some lady about it.

~

Something about boxes of glazed doughnuts. I was at work at the bakery.

~

Fragments due to drinking yesterday. This is what alcohol does to my sleep. -_-' Oh well, I at least know I"ll sleep good tonight.

Dream 1 - 4:34AM

I'm outside of a shopping center. I'm laying out money on a bench, and seem to be struggling to count properly. I have to count it multiple times to confirm it's correct. I leave the money on the bench and walk away from it, but can still keep an eye on it. Daryl walks over towards it and pretends to be suspect, and acts as if he's about to steal the money.

I think my Brother and Dad at one point.

I'm now down the street I take my dog, and it's night time. I see an Indian man on the side walk and he seems a little bothered by something. I try and act cool, and not make him feel as uncomfortable. I start to ride my bike, except it's majorly over sized. I find this odd. I begin to worry, as I have forgotten a helmet and didn't want another fine (got fined earlier this year :X). I am now seeing a scene of a 2 Collingwood players in a tackle. One is a rookie and the other is Scott Pendlebury. The tackle ends with the rookies neck getting cranked into a weird position. At first the rookie means to put his head in an awkward position but eventually it becomes a bit more serious. Scott gets off the rookie and he pats the rookie on the head.

Dream 2 - 8:15AM

I'm in a house with Kayley. Someone mentions about grandfather (pop) being angry? pop enters the room and complains about something in particular.

I leave the house with Kayley. We're outside and Kayley is getting attacked by two birds (one of them is a lot more persistent then the other). It starts to bother me and I pick up and pillow and through it at the bird.

I'm now in different location. I'm holding a baby which weighs a lot more then it looks. It like I have a led blanket strapped onto me. I look at the baby and it looks ugly as hell. I think its Kayley's child and I have the nerve to tell her.

I'm outside and I see a baby in the pram, I think it's the baby from earlier. The bird that attacked earlier is now human, a female. She tells me she wants Kayley's boyfriend. I don't mention anything to Kayley, in case it would get her jealous or stressed out.

I'm at another house, which is missing half its roof and walls. The bird is still attacking Kayley.

I think I have a False Awakening, and notice that my Dad and Kayley are in the house. Kayley comes into my room.

Dream 3 - 9:30AM

I'm at a house and I see a Collingwood AFL Player, it's Tyson Goldsack. He's getting interviewed via video link. I see bunch of males sitting on plastic chairs. They're watching the interview and smiling. I expect Tyson to mention about distilled water and the amount of health benefits it gives you, so it can convince a few people I know. I begin to realize he wouldn't bring it up as in why would he?

I think I'm in my estate and I see a massive photo in the sky. It's a picture of Jayde. It's showing 3 separate photos of her side by side. The picture on the left is extremely cute, she has short hair. The middle is kinda fugly as her hair is abnormally long, and the right is an average photo.

23/8/2014

2230-0630

I was in a foresty suburb area. I remember everyone from That 70's Show. Hyde got rich and moved into a new big house with Jackie. He didn't stay friends with any of the gang.

22:52 pre-bedtime Day memory review: first let memories arise, feeling that each one is a dream, then run through the day in order in detail

23:30? bedtime

00:00 Saturday 2014-08-23

multiple wakings with recall, lost early recall, later recall fragmented, lots of long dreaming sequences most lost ARGH! Must get myself to record or at least seriously try to DEILD on the earlier wakings. I recall trying to determine during one waking if one early dream was lucid or not.

07:40 up and recall (15-20 minutes at least), quick keyword journal, try to sleep again, get close but just too awake

+(f) a guy is messing with my computer print-out, "stop wrinkling it!"

+(f) rub the completely flat head top of a really big/fat kid, the flatness is due to the haircut, the head is mostly normally shaped but the hair is grown around the side and back of the head so that it forms a flat surface.

+(f) kids are breastfeeding other kids? Medium-length sequence, forgot most of it.

+ leaving the seats the kid runs past me to his dad in another row, I stand and bow and let the people past me in the aisle (that's all, short).

+ big people have a purpose: they make great store clerks lifting heavy things, I see these big guys carrying large things around, one gathers my order with me in the back, I remember my machete and go to another shelf, I see lots of my things, I find my machete / large knife, pick it up, gesture towards the clerk showing it, I hold the handle and realize it's not very comfortable, the handle is a bit too short.

+ computer competition with MO and PMcC, we're tasked with finding a bug in the system (like in The Internship), we walk up a stairway through a door and sit down in front of some terminals (like old ADM3A terminals) , one in front of me, one on the ground near my left foot. I take off a glove (it looks like a gray/black rubber dish glove, I wonder what my friends will think of me wearing such a glove), I toss off glove towards the ground, and it lands on the right-side of the keyboard of the terminal on the ground, three fingers separating and simultaneously hitting the CTRL, ALT, and DEL keys which light up as they're pressed. I say "Hey, guys, did you see that, the glove hit CTRL-ALT-DEL!".

+ I'm watching a game of baseball, I'm standing behind a short fence along the first-base line. I see the pitcher wind-up and pitch: it's a fast-pitch softball circular style of pitch, the batter hits the ball, it's a pop fly, the fielder is right there, it should be an easy out, he lifts his glove and the ball bounces out of it so the pitcher can continue running the bases. I realize that a fielder and the pitcher are giants: at least 2-3 times the size of a human. The pitcher signals the outfield to approach closer, this is because a human has come to the plate. Next a female giant comes to the plate and really hits the ball out of the park, I see it come down out of the sky beyond the fence (by some Eucalyptus(?) trees), it's a home run. After the game, the giants eat the humans? Later on there is a casting call for another baseball game, it's a TV show. Females are not allowed, but I say I saw a female giant in the last game, the guy says that's because it was her personal show.

09:09 up out of bed, DJ on DV

Writing this late cause don't have the motivation to write them.

First Dream(Lucid at the beggining)

I woke up in a bed that wasn't mine. The window to my side was bright and there was a unusual window shade getting closer to me. I got up and recall talking to a girl. I remember her telling me her kidney was bad so she couldn't have her baby.Than she sent me a message on my phone to move out the way. I left confused and found my brother and older sister. My bro told me my cousins didn't eat meat and were acting like hippies. I replied saying people are different and he has to accept that. My sister agreed than told me to watch the poodle in the yard. I asked if I could bring her inside than woke up.

Second Dream(Lucid)

I was in my kitchen with my family and others i didn't know. My mom finished cooking chicken, rice, peas and fried fish. I took my plate and put the food on it happily but than the plate shrank and my food was disappearing. I knew it was a dream but I was annoyed. I asked my mom if it was okay that I was mad that my plate kept shrinking and she said yes. I left after that and appeared downstairs where I found mini talking toys. One was going to give up because the bad guy was about to win. I kissed his cheek and told him not to give up. It was awesome cause he got up and started fighting the bad guy happily. I went upstairs after that and my dad said he bought me a cool sketchpad that colors itself. I wanted to try it but a little girl pulled my hand. She was talking to me and trying to teach me Italian/french. Her dad laughed a bit and enjoyed watching her try to teach me the language. Her mom got mad though and pulled her close to her saying she was teaching me gibberish because she made lots of mistakes. The little girl pulled away from her mom though and kept talking to me. She than grabbed a chocolate and was going to give her friend one. I saw the scenery changing after that into
a anime where a swimming competition was going on. I looked at the pool water and thought about how cool it looked. I jumped in and noticed a man was sinking so i grabbed him than flew him to safety. Everyone was cheering. I walked up to a guy and asked if this is a dream did i really save the guy. The anime guy replyed with a yes. I walked to the side and noticed a chubby girl trying to seduce a boy. I said she looked like a fat blueberry and ran into a forest/agricultural place where crops are planted. I felt slow though and stopped. The dc grabbed me and took me to a place where a guy was digging and putting dirt on the ground. She told me I had to do work as punishment for my inappropriate behavior. I said no to her than woke up.

Third Dream(Lucid)

I was in a place filled with lots of water swimming. I saw mini game characters and was looking for my dream guide but woke up early.

This night I had some nice dreams which were all set in huge worlds, mostly it were plains but still beautifull.

1. The lands of the north

I'm some viking king or something and I live in a town somewhere on a group of large islands in the middle of a cold stormy sea. The islands are very large and mostly have plains/tundra, some large mountains and overall a cold/grey feeling which makes the town look so much more cosy... Anyway I'm leading an army to take over some lands but see this all happening by looking at an old map of the islands with each Island having a norse name.

2. The central world

I'm somewhere in a massive valley which stretches in every direction for 100 KM probably, it's mostly desert with rocks. My transportation is a small disk on wheels that can quickly (and I mean QUICKLY) traverse the rough terrain. I'm not alone though as many other people move around too, I think I even get a warning for going to fast by a knight. Then I'm at the edge where a forest begins and behind the forest lays a mighty city. But first I need to get over a large crack in the earth that's 5 meters wide and dark. There's a ramp infront of it and I go at it as fast as I can landing on the other side in one piece. I don't see a lot of the city cause I'm instantly in a house. The house has a nice interior, mediëval high class I'd say and feels warm. I meet my brother (I don't have a brother IRL) which has blond hair and mostly ignored me as he walked to his room.

Somebody, it might have been Steve or Ben (two friends of mine), was making presents available to people that he liked. I think girls mostly. He had hand-drawn pictures of the presents. Not fancy drawings. I was explaining to him that presents are not a way to go about getting someone to hang out with you. It basically involved compromising your self and pretending to be someone you aren't. Especially if you are giving your own stuff. (I now have no recollection of anything from this dream. I dictated it into my iPhone when I woke up in the middle of the night. But now I have nothing. It is like I am reading some other person's schematic journal entry.)

In another dream I'm going somewhere with somebody outside on some roads. I think we were in a vehicle. We are camping or something near an intersection of major roads out in the middle of nowhere. A large group of people come by. They are high school or college kids. About six of them. There is a bridge nearby, and for some reason I have to go to the bathroom and there is a toilet on the bridge. I am trying to go to the bathroom but I can't get any privacy because the group of people is all around. I think this is a recurring thing in my dreams. Restrooms that are either out in the open, or not private enough. Seems like it could be a DS, so I'm now trying to RC every time I go to the bathroom.
