A sparse couple of nights, with only 3 captured dreams between them. But I reached a conclusion re SSILD…for me, it’s a great relaxant…a WBTB and the cycles seem to guarantee me 4+ hours of deep, dreamless sleep.

Friday night’s dream. 4.15 AM
I do all the talking basically. Talking AT a doctor and observing the amount of work she had to get through, to achieve her position. She was basically non-committal (as DC’s are?). This might have related to a BBC news item I read involving the Syrian doctor who challenged Britain’s Labour leader to come to Syria …except I read that AFTER the dream (surely dreams aren’t predictive?)

Sat 1.20 AM
Ed’s turned into Cubby Broccoli (which is good, because I read that broccoli is also good brain-food, so he’s doing something right for once) This was a cut-down James Bond production I think. I’m sure there was action at the front-end (although, knowing Ed, that might have just involved a heated argument in a bus queue)

But there was a love scene with a genuine Bond-type girl (although I prefer the fuller figure myself) I say a love scene…more a foreplay scene (as a man, I thought there was far too much of that). It involved mainly snogging, with a slightly hurried bit of lip-caressing of her lower body, then, just as it might have got more interesting, I woke up…coitus interruptus,,,

You know what I’m going to say…would I have done that? External forces again

7.00 AM
Dog on a carpet. No…not another love scene, with one of Ed’s usual female DCs. A genuine small dog (haven’t got one myself) It seemed to have its claws trapped in the carpet and it was clearly in distress. Although I feared getting bitten, I went to its assistance and it held me in a weird sort of embrace, with it’s claws and little body pressed tight against me. Ed!..........??????

Re the sparse dreams. Serves me right for getting lured into experimenting with SSLD at this stage. I’d earlier decided to concentrate on the dream journal, ADA (which I’m doing fairly well at the moment) and maybe WILD in the afternoon. (no Ed that’s not another film title)

The beetroot extract should last me a total of 45 days…that’s surely enough time to see if they work at all. I read somewhere that fruit juices are not as effective as whole fruit (something is believed to be lost in the processing, so we'll see if the same applies to concentrated tablets)
