    My latest G night was mostly a fail so this will be quick. I did enjoy a lot of very vivid dreams but I just could not hold on to awareness like I usually do plus I had quite a few distractions.

    I tried to DIELD three times and got into the vibrational transition stage. I enjoyed some really amazing physical sensations but each one was interrupted by either my wife turning over or one of the cats meowing at the door or my son crying out. The last time I managed to hold on to the vibes for a long time despite interruptions but I lost focus and I either woke up or fell non lucid. I'm not sure which.

    I did hit a DILD once while looking in a mirror. I recognized the bathroom I was in looked like a house from my childhood, but I quickly lost it because the nose plug failed. It's amazing how that has been happening. I even had the thought that it was too bad since this wasn't a dream because it was so clear and vivid. My reflection even looked normal for once. I then went to bed to try to do an in dream WILD but I got many interruptions even in my dream. I guess it wasn't my night.

    Semi lucid:

    I was trying to pee in urinal in a strange bathroom but it felt like I was about to pee myself in bed. I was in and out of lucidity there trying not to pee myself but also thinking theres a urinal in front of me. I eventually woke up in time to go to the bathroom.

    Other non lucid dreams:

    I won $11 million in a slot machine but the machine was giving out actual cash and ran out. I spent the rest of the dream trying to convince the casino that I deserve the rest of my cash.

    I played guitar with a band for the duration of one song. This one was very life like and convincing. The feel of the strings and actual chords that I remember was spot on. After the song the dream went to some other jumbled nonsense.

    There were some more but I do not remember them since I failed to record anything. I was too intent on DEILD/WILD to bother with it.

      Aw dude, you were so close, particularly with the in-dream WILD attempt! That's just bad luck... most nights you'd have easily gone lucid I think.

      I really don't know what to say about the nose plug failing. It has only happened to me once but even that really disturbed me. I really don't know what to make of this! It's still the best RC I've got, though...

      Its disturbing how that can fail. I think a lot of that one was that I could actually see my reflection and watched my nose kind of puff out on the sides like it would in waking life. Mix in a slight sinus problem, and we get a fail. I think I just to mix it up instead of depending on just that one tech.

      Yeah, I bet you're right that the sinus issues are related. It's probably a lot easier to get into the mindset of "I may not be able to breathe when I want to" when you've spent the whole day plugged up. But man, the fact that your nose puffed out is crazy.

      That makes me realize that you blow out when you do the nose-pinch then, is that right? I have always done it breathing in. Interesting that I never thought more about direction!

      Oh wow. Hmm. I never thought of doing it your way. I wonder if it would make a difference. :-$
