The Labrynth of the Mind

Farm report

I am sleeping in bed (in my dream). I know that I have to get up at 4:00am to write the "Farm Report", and I keep watching the clock. At 4:00am, I apparently write the report and email it to people (something like that anyway) and then go back to sleep without remembering having done so. I wake up in the morning and see that I have completed the entire report while I was only half awake. I am now outside with my mother telling her about this. We are planting pine trees. I keep saying how I can't believe I wrote the whole Farm Report while only half awake. Eventually my mother gets annoyed, and says something sarcastic about me being "Mr. Humble".

Former professor's brother

I am on a field trip with some classmates. While on the trip, my professor talks on the telephone with his brother. Eventually he puts me on the line. My professor's brother is talking about chinese food that we ordered when we were on a trip a long time ago. He thinks that we ordered a lot of expensive food. "But that's OK," he says, "I just don't think you knew how expensive it was."

I can breathe. Interesting.

All I remember of this is a false awakening (I think). I walk out to the living room, and do a nose pinch RC. I can still breathe. Or at least it still seems like I'm breathing. Unlike other missed RC's, I don't justify why it seems like I can still breathe. I just think "huh, that's interesting, but I know I'm awake."

I can't remember anything from last night. I am undergoing a rather large change in my life right now, which also messes with my sleep patterns. Starting tomorrow morning I will be getting up at 4:00am for work at my new job. Interestingly, I will begin working in a hospital, which has prior to now been a dreamsign. So, I will find myself awake and aware at a time when I am usually asleep, in a hospital, riding in elevators (another dreamsign). If I remember to do reality checks, this ought to help my lucidity.

Also, it appears that they will be alternating my work schedule, so that I will have this early morning schedule at times, and an afternoon schedule at others. This will be a perfect opportunity to try the Cycle Adjustment Technique (CAT).

So, I am hoping that this dream journal will become more interesting in the near future, with a good deal more blue.
