I loaded up with blueberries, strawberries, some purple grape juice, 2 choline...and a partridge that I found in a nearby pear tree.

5.10 AM
A little vignette involving me trying to puzzle out why the water in a house wasn't running. Other people turn into X-men I turn into Mario. I locate the stopcock (DS - looking for something) and that was OK. I remember reminding myself that all taps and valves in the UK (maybe everywhere) open by turning to the left. Is that normal NLD behaviour? I sat there puzzling why the water wasn't on.

Got up and did a short WBTB (Usually I stay up 1 hour+) Nevertheless, it took me a fair while to get back to sleep. Couldn't bring the mind home...it kept wandering off like an excited dog.

6.25 AM
Fragment involving me looking down onto a painted concrete structure of the kind used in zoos to house some animals e.g. penguins, bears etc. I take some comfort that I noted this dream, using the tag "Concrete zoo structure" went back to sleep but still remembered it by the morning. That's the first time since I began LD'ing last year.

7.45 AM
Talking to my wife in some large gloomy building (2 DS's talking to wife & large gloomy buildings...or was it talking to the building and a large gloomy wife? No...she's lovely really.)

She wandered off somewhere and I got 2 children who were with me to look for her "You go left" I'll go right" I seemed to be playing it like hide-and-seek. (DS - looking for something) Somewhere in all this I seem to be explaining to someone that I have trouble not turning over in bed because I get leg pains after 4 hours in bed and I remember indicating where the pains were.

That's very relevant to trying not to turn over when first waking when trying to LD...my first semi-unconscious instinct is to turn over (which brings relief)

Now 8.50 I'm going to try WBTB (after about half an hour and a small coffee...my usual routine) I normally seem to have less trouble getting back to sleep than when I did the quick WBTB. Strange....
