No video today

I didn't do a dream journal drawing video today. I wanted to just draw it "off camera". But I did do the dream drawing stuff like in my other videos and it was helpful.

Round 1 of dreams.

I slept a few hours and woke up with some sense of having had really interesting dreams. But couldn't remember anything really clearly. I made a few voice notes but nothing was solid. There was like a big bug in the back of a car at one point but I just couldn't see it any clearer. I had a sense they were really conceptual dreams.

Round 2 of dreams.

These were a little better remembered. I couldn't get food with my friend at this hospital or school place. Then I was looking for a bath room. There were guards so I went in an un marked bathroom. Then I was in a locker room. They were re doing the old locker rooms because they got moldy or something. Then I was in the locker room and I had wet socks. I was putting another pair of socks on over my wet socks but that didn't make total sense to me.

Round 3 of Dreams.

These were cool. There was a bunch I forgot. From what I remember, I tried donating 5 dollars. I went through a wad of cash to try to get change for myself but the person told me no change. So I just donated the 5 dollars. I did see some singles in there though, and a ten. There was more I forgot.

Then I dreamed I woke up in my bed and it was very bright in the room. I figured morning had gotten there. My body was different though.

I know for sure I had a lucid part before or after that, but I totally forgot it. For some reason my recall was really weak on this night. My acceptance that fact was higher than usual though.

Next I found myself in this loft. There was something about climbing down a wooden ladder. But the screws were loose and it looked like it would fall. I noticed a design on the wood. During this part of the dream, there was something about how I was glad that what had happened right before that was just a dream. So it was a false awakening. Really, I was still in a dream, but I didn't know it.

Then the next scene was of me in this cafeteria place. One thinner old lady was wearing blue. she threw something on a table. Another heavy lady was wearing a really low cut blue dress. She was near our table handing out stuff. We all got apples. The dream told me to focus on the apple and try to really study the patterns on its skin. I thought this was so cool because I have been trying to work on my visual memory in waking life using "drawing from memory" exercises. Only, I thought I was in waking life, and I looked forward to sitting to draw it later that day when I got home. I worried I might not have time. I remember seeing it very vividly and clearly within the dream. Then i woke up.

Round 4 of dreams.

I had more dreams but all I remembered was a box of books. And something with my sister.

Notes.

Much lower recall than usual tonight. But I had a lot more peace with the fact of my lower recall than I usually do when I have trouble recalling dreams. I don't really know what factors to attribute it to so I won't make any major changes. I can tell I am sleeping deeper though which is a good thing.
