    Date: 08 June

    Total sleep time: 6 1/2 hrs

    Pre bed: 200mg valerian

    WBTB: cold latte (103.4 mg caffeine), did not feel very strong despite the warnings on the label

    Dream quality and recall: Hmm, recall was quite difficult today, I was extremely sleepy pre WBTB and after falling asleep post WBTB. Vividness was as far as I can remember normal. Not totally sure about the sequence of the dreams. I did wake up naturally after WBTB and tried to commit the dreams to memory without taking any notes, but then quickly fell asleep. After final wake I was like " What, I don't remember anything at all?" Then some fragments emerged.

    Dream1: I am in my grandma's place and there is a hungry lion in there too. I barely notice it , just know that it is there. (It seems I wasn't looking forward to giving it a hug today!) So, I get a large bone to lure it, it looks like some big KFC leftover and I throw it in the corridor, while trying to sneak out. I am not very sure where this lion is, but I am contemplating on an escape plan...

    Fragment2: In some place, which reminds me of a block that I only dream about. The place is a bit different, and the floor is made of Chinese tiles. I am crossing it, and in the meantime lots of Asians appear there. They have to be careful because there are fragile blue/white Chinese dishes on the floor. I go with a touch of irritation, pick some guy and tell him he should not do what he is doing. I get the feeling of another dream with some Japanese girls I had a long time ago.

    Fragment3 DILD: No idea how this dream started, when I got lucid and what I else I did while lucid. It is quite dark, and it seems I ran into a DC that I assume is Xanous. I address him and start talking to him. I remember he may not be lucid, so I grab him by the shoulders, shake him a bit and repeat several times that this is a dream. Then I remember to do the gesture, and finally repeat the passcode a few times. It looks like he is trying to memorize it, I repeat it a few more times, hopefully he will remember. I hold his head with my hands, while the dream slowly fades away.

    Comments: Well a bit unlikely that this was Xanous, did he say anything back? I am so good at terrorizing innocent DCs. Sorry guys!

      I think if the DC was Xanous then he would have been tempted by your WBTB latte, after all he is the originator of the Caffeine thread in research at the moment.

      Apologies Xanous if you're about!

      Congrats. on the recall/DILD BTW.

      Ha ha, awesome! It would have been even better if Xanous had posted about being shaken and assaulted by a strange DC who kept wildly gesticulating and shouting the same word in his face over and over. Last time I found Art I didn't even remember to do the password or gesture, so you've got this way more dialed in than I do.

      I also like how at WBTB you drank a latte so strong that it has "warnings on the label". LOL. How'd you manage to get back to sleep?

      @ Highlander

      Next time I will dream walk in a cafeteria and look for him there!

      @ CL

      Hahaha! If not anything else, I am getting a good practice of finding a DC, and doing the gesture/passcode so one day it may work out. And it is much better to keep trying the same task over and over again, rather than change your goals every two days like I did last month. (As long as Xanous or DCs don't start complaining)

      It didn't taste very strong when I drank it, but yes, I spent like 50 mins trying to fall asleep, so those warnings were right. But I had plenty of time to do some MILD and SSILD before falling back to sleep, it wasn't too bad.

      Holy crap! Sorry I didn't see this sooner. I had really bad recall that night, actually just a bad night all round, so I can't say if I dreamed this or not. Nice going though. I like the effort! I'll try to find you back. BTW I don't mind a little dream terrorizing since I can be a bit thick anyway. Well, assuming it was actually me...
