    1. First entry: Dogs, Darkness, and Sleep Paralysis... :(

      not much to report since my Dream Recall still sucks...

      Well, I was stuck at home all day today, so I did some petty work around the house which had made me tired by the evening. By 4 pm I was on my bed, and decided to take a short nap..

      I had downloaded this application for my mobile phone, LucidWeaver, and I decided this was a good time to try it out.. I set the alarm to ring after 90 mins and went to sleep..

      I remember having this non-lucid dream, still can't recollect much of it, though I remember it involved dogs.. yeah I know, I REALLY gotta work on my Dream Recall Skills

      So I was with the dogs (for some reason there were three of them), when the alarm went off and and instantly woke me up.. I thought "Oh shit!.." and thought I had blown it. the dream had ended, dogs were no more..
      But then I realised my eyes were still closed and I could feel a little numbness in my legs, so I decided to remain still..
      I remained that way for a few minutes and slowly began to feel the sleep paralysis set in. The numbness spread from my legs upwards, freezing my mouth and the truckload of saliva I'd accumulated in it by this time ()

      anyway, I was feeling these cool tingly sensations all over and thought I began to see something strangely cool when...,
      THE FUCKIN ALARM WENT OFF AGAIN!!
      ..for no reason I can remember..!!

      The sensations stopped, and before I knew it, I was back to square one..

      I tried achieving SP once again but after three minutes the alarm sounded again, knocking me off-guard!

      So I decided to call it quits for the evening and try again tonight..

      The issue with the alarm application, it turns out, is that I had tinkered around abit with the settings earlier and accidentally set two extra alarms, which were meant for 'lucidity training'.. I'm usually a deep sleeper, but somehow I woke up at the first alarm itself that had ruined the plan.. gonna try again tonight with the older settings.

      I'm still new to lucid dreaming, this is only my second day of actually trying, and I know SP isn't that great an achievement, but still, it felt uber-cool.. can't wait for the night to set in, I think I'll have difficulty falling asleep (my body feels totally rested from the nap), but anyway.. eyes on the prize baby!
