McDreamy

So, I'm trying to MILD using Steven Laberge's method. Every day I am doing excercises to improve my prospective memory. When possible with scedule I try to wake up in the night first, then use a mantra of "the next time I'm dreaming I want to remember its a dream" or something like that. Really understanding the meaning though, not just an empty mantra. Then Visualizing myself becoming lucid using dreamsigns from the previous dream. I plan to record my progress on here. Tried doing it twice last night but fell asleep first at 3 am, and couldnt get back to sleep at 930.

DREAM
I am at my old elementary school and am walking outside the doors to the soccer field with the entire highschool rugby team. We're going to a tournament. Its winter, and the snow is very deep, and we are all wearing heavy warm clothing. My snowpants are orange and I have some sort of parka on. Its like were a military unit in arctic exercise. Its difficult to walk but I have my legs kindof spread out and Im moving without really doing anything. Suddenly its not winter anymore and there is grass that has been cut with patches left behind from not overlapping the lawn mower, and its about a meter high. Jesse from middleschool jumps out of the tall grass and tries to run away, but our coach runs him down and catches him. I am walking with him now at the front of the group, and more people from middle/highschool are behind us. We are talking about something that I can't remember, but I remember he pulls a gun on me. Its a toy gun, but I still disarm him and am about to flip him but decide not to because its obviously fake. He talks about bullying Jaime, and how he kicked him in the face. He kicks high in the air to demonstrate. We get to a school and we are on the side of it on some grass. There are other teams wearing soccer jerseys waiting there on the grass. We do a chant like the Hakka. Left leg forward and place it out on an angle. Same with right leg. Same with Left leg. Scoop up your guts from the ground and try to sell them for a decent price. Something about defeating your enemy? Or was it scoop up your guts and keep going? I wish I remembered for sure it was pretty messed up hahaha.

I am talking to James about how I haven't played rugby in two years. I say that I don't have my mouthguard and don't know what to do and he replies "I don't know man." Hes not likely to play rugby so its odd that he is here. I am very nervous to play and don't have my mouthguard but I line up anyway because a big part of me wants to do it, and I think it will be a great time if I don't lose any teeth or anything.

Wake up
At the same time at 930 I tried doing a WILD with the MILD but gave up because I often go for 45 mins without noticing any sleep paralysis or anything at all. I usually can't sleep after trying WILD so probably reduced my chances of MILD because you need to sleep for that! No lucids, but interesting dream at least.
