    10/20 Fragment dream related. Dream contest, one player is relaying their dreams and trying to figure out how to count it. Me? There was definitely more to it but in this early morning hour it is so vague and like it's hard to understand.
    Fragment, Big parking lot looking for my car it feels like I'm on a trip. I use the remote to look for the lights to flash. There's at least one of the car that looks kind of like mine.
    Fragment, some group is doing a reenactment. They are part of some little known fringe group and has something to do with Americana. They want to be part of the history. Tom Cruise and others are on board. They have odd pointed hats with labels on them.
    Dream, I am trying to get through a big complex back to "my place"(?)... I see a woman with a small child and ask if I can pass through "this way" to my left...one of two options but both seem to run through her house. Woman stuttered and I said I will just go that way (to the right). Husband goes to check what I am up to as I pass through the other way which seems to lead to a garage and then a chain link fence/gate. As I go out the gate I make sure to not let the dog out (similar to yesterday's dream...hmm). I tell the husband that I am trying to get to my place. But my path is blocked again. There is a chain link fence and something that looks like a dock area to my left in the direction I need to head. I think about climbing over the fence but people are looking. Fade to bed.
    WBTB after 6am SSILD cycles, not getting quickly back to sleep probably due to back and heel pain. Eventually I get the vibrations and nudge them on and I shoot up from my bed laying on my back towards the ceiling unlike any previous dream entry, very cool feeling!! I get ready to fly off then I remember that I should stabilize which I hardly ever remember to do. I rub my hands together and look at them. They are getting clearer and clearer until they are almost glowing like the light is hitting them in an interesting way but they otherwise look normal. I decide it is ok to fly off. It feels like I am in the clouds and it feels like I fly several hundred yards at a fairly fast pace and I quickly find myself back in bed! Ugh!

      I like the way that LD had you taking off like a rocket from the first moment and pretty much never let up. I love the glowing hands and the way you quickly shot up all the way to the clouds. Ever tried to keep going and visit space?

      They don't have to be long to be cool experiences! Congratulations!

      Thank you CL! It is always good to see you around the forums. I tend to keep an eye out for you to see what I can learn from your various great tips and posts. That was quite a fun experience. I think I would have been scared out of my mind if I hadn't entered the experience consciously or had the vibrations letting me know that I was almost there. I would love to truly explore space. I have in the past shot up and flew around what I assumed was earth (like in the original superman movie when he was turning back time) but it was quite a blur. I would love to shoot up there and just look back down at earth or go further if I could just keep calm enough and not go running around like a chicken with his head cut off. I did have a little longer and more stable one fairly recently, so hopefully I will build on that, but that was a DILD. I am working on the theory that my DILD's are a little more stable because I am more deeply asleep...whereas the WILDs I still retain too much awareness of my sleeping body perhaps...slowing down and using your stabilization methods should solve that I think as well as finding ways to get to sleep quicker and have less time laying awake...but not sure about that.

      Hey, thanks for the kind words, fogelbise! I appreciate that!

      Your theory about WILD vs DILD makes a lot of sense to me. Daniel Love made the observation that in a WILD, you're taking your awareness and watching the dream get built up. Therefore it's normal to work the hardest at enhancing and stabilizing the dream. Likewise he says that in a DILD, you are in the fully-formed dream and watching your awareness form. So presence of mind and hanging on to lucidity are liable to be the biggest challenges.

      I am sure there are lots of exceptions to this principle but as an idea it's very interesting.

      I bet you are going to love space! I've only been a couple of times, but it was awesome each time. One thing that really helped was having a Task of the Month that was space-related to get it really cemented in my mind that I had to do it. Nothing like making it your focus!
