Font Key: Lucid dreaming Dreaming (non-lucid) In-line commentary (Additional commentary at the end of posts, in regular font.)
I remember 2 dreams from last night. The first wasn't particularly memorable, though I did manage to wake up and write it down. It was still dark at the time. The second was a lengthy "frustration" dream. I have started classifying certain dreams as "frustration dreams" because that's what they're about.. situations in which I can't do whatever I'm trying to do. I try and try and try, and get thwarted no matter what I do. Well, this dream was extra lengthy and varied in the ways it frustrated my dream self, and it was a pretty lousy way to wake up. I must have been dreaming for the last hour of an 8-hour period. Luckily I was able to go back to sleep for another 2 hours and sleep off the crappy mood. I believe the frustration dreams echo the deep frustration I have experienced during the past year (in my waking life). Anyway, on the plus side, I did wake up and write down both dreams, so that was good paper-dream-journal practice. I was on the edge of lucidity during the first dream, but wasn't quite there. Maybe tonight.
