Surprisingly, dream recall came back almost immediately...although it's often fragmentary. But that's very encouraging. It's all in there (the mantras, the dream signs, all the little tricks) so maybe it's not so surprising

As I said before, I'm not rushing it. I have no intention of forcing it every night and (as I've also said before) just the very act of experimenting, trying new approaches,trying to decipher dreams (if there are any codes in them) the scientist in me finds rewarding in itself.

Tues 5/8/14 I set the alarm for 6.00 pm but awoke at 5.30...and remembered the dream I'd just had. New ships are launched by champagne...I got mega incontinence??? So much so that I checked the bed just in case. It's easy to read anything into anything but (just maybe) was Ed my brain warning me of the consequences of wearing him out? Who knows? Who cares? Anyway, I'll tread carefully just in case..and maybe I'll stop verbally abusing him so much.

I did an hour WBTB and tried to WILD. God knows why I try that...it's never worked yet but I got "something" happening...not much but every little bit helps. I gave up and went to sleep.

8.15 Walking around a (Spanish) town? My impression has always been that parts of dreams are inferred rather than visually presented. It then cut to me searching a cupboard for some mushrooms I'd apparently picked. (DS = looking for something) I eventually found some but they were old...and there were little insects in them???

Wed 6/8/14
3.15 Looks like the alarm is redundant already. It seemed to be about parents whose children were very moderately famous and I as the father was laughing as they bemoaned their fate (all the time we were overlooked by neighbours) i maybe recognise the fact that I worry a bit about my grandchildren's future and I'm not too happy about our neighbours. Are my dreams just nocturnal psycho-analysis? is Ed my friendly neighbourhood shrink?

5.15 Two episodes back-to-back (Luxury) A former workmate (DS) had trouble dealing with my humour (I have trouble dealing with my humour) and I was reassuring him.
This was weird. I seemed to be making items to go with cocktails. It involved teatowels to which I seemed to be fixing things (don't ask what that meant, I haven't a clue...are teatowels a new DS?)

7.30 Large office (DS) A colleague very keen that I see a supervisor re a cleaner that he fancies. Cut to me trying to find my way back upstairs to find the office again. (Lost = mega dream sign and the one must likely to make me lucid again) I don't seem to be wearing a shirt (We had a long spell of hot weather so that's probably why it's in my dream (boring)

Sat 9/8/14 (the days are measured by when I go to bed So I'm now writing this on Sunday)
4.30 French troops (military = DS) talking about historical events.

5.30 Had breakfast (inferred that I was in France...it seems to be my Gallic night) Wife presents food (including some sort of rice cakes) I said that it was all too filling.

As you can see my dreams are filled with excitement, sex, death and destruction...or am I just dreaming that?
I intended to do 1 hours WBTB and it's now 2 hours+ but off I go...you never know what you're gonna get (as TH often said)
