dolphin's dreams

Commentary-
Last night as expected I had better recall but I'm sorry to said my adjusted technique failed again. Even when repeating my mantra in between slow breaths, I found it difficult to go to sleep as I was repeating it. In the middle of the night though, I came to the realization that all I'm trying to do is to wake up thinking "I'm dreaming" so that I'm immediately lucid as I enter the dream. I think it might be possible to train myself to think "I'm dreaming" every time I wake up though the power of suggestion. If I can be able to do this I think I will have mastered my lucid induction technique.

I originaly said that I would only post lucid dreams but I have enjoyed the process enough to write about my non-lucids as well. I also had some visualizations or dreamlets as I was going to sleep.

Visualizations/Dreamlets-
-Before my first awakening I had the strange feeling that I was dancing while holding hands with others in a chain. Perhaps it was the very end of a non-lucid dream.
-While going to sleep I had the visualization of the crowds at a baseball stadium. (The SF Giants pennant race is on my mind)
-I had a random visualization of taking a picture with a few others at the lookout at Grand View Park in San Francisco.
-A visualization of me starting a work shift as a waiter.

Non Lucid 1-
I was at some sort of store and customers were buying these game boards. (You know, the ones places sometimes give out as a promotion like the Monopoly one given out by McDonalds). There were a couple different types given out. One had only 13 squares, another was a chute and ladders type board. I had a visualization arcade style of a figure going up and down a chute and ladders type level before the end.

Non Lucid 2-
A parade like performance by a french artist (I presume) was about to be performed on a city street. I reluctantly agreed to join a random partner of mine as I was afraid I might be late to work. My partner sought out one of the shows stars and got their autograph. He explained to me his idea to get another autograph of the same person impersonating somebody else. I remember hearing something like "merci beaucoup" near the end.
