3.40 Complicated dream. Some kind of dormitory and I seem to play a trick on people in the dormitory by banging doors (I'm a reckless devil me) Some people outside apparently heard me and came into the dormitory and I pretended to be asleep (Ed! This is crap mate...C'mon!)

Cut to me walking with a woman (definite likeness to a former work colleague) I'm telling her that I've taken out a lease on a building within a commercial park and she said "Yes, I heard you had."???? (I really must get out more)

I repeated what I did the night before and got up at 07.00 AM and stayed up for an hour, revising a list I'm doing for memory improvement. I went back to bed and did 5 minutes running through memory checks and dream signs, then my usual instruction re waking-up after each dream and recording it. I woke up once after a small dream and resolved to remember it and go back to sleep (that's been risky in the past, but I do remember it and that's a step forward already)

(Not sure of time) There was a lovely black dog with a very shiny coat and, for some reason I pinched its tail. It must have really hurt and the dog was obviously in pain and I comforted it. (No...I'm not proud of this one...but then it's down to Ed anyway isn't it?)

9.20 am I was working at a desk in a company (DS) A woman brought me a package and told me to send it to (I don't remember the company name) I thought "That's not part of my job description." but I must have located the phone number of a contact and I rang him to confirm the address and recipient. He blathered on and seemed to be complaining about me ringing him Then I couldn't find the package on my desk and I thought something like "That's odd...I must be dreaming."

Then the scene seemed to change to open countryside and I could feel the heat of the sun. People talk about excitement...well I felt joy I thought I can tell the wife that I'm lucid! Then I thought don't lose the dream and it started to go and I think I felt a bit dizzy. I remembered about spinning and I did it for a very short while...I usually get very dizzy doing that but not this time. It seemed to stabilize but then I wake up. But I noticed the background music I was playing was absent...then it seemed to fade-up. I remembered to check that it wasn't a false-awakening then I tried to get back into the dream but I've never done that before and it didn't work.

I'm pretty certain it was lucidity but I'll keep it low-key at the moment and see if I can achive LD#2 Then I'll know won't I?
