I tryed to do a WBTB but was fooled by my dream...In the dream I was still trying to get back to sleep in a darkened room. I was laying on a large black suitcase still trying to do my incubation...Darn dream tricked me again
D1 - My car was in the garage for some repairs. When I went in to pick it up I find it (a white car) has been damaged while its been there. The side of the car is raked with scratches, like its been in collision with half the occupants of Jurassic park. I am not best pleased and just want to get my car out of that garage. The guy on the desk tries to make out there is a problem with the paperwork and he can't release my car. I have no photo id relevant. In the end he accepted my original receipt. D2 - Playing with children in my parents garden. The grass and garden are idylic. I am then a small child again and go with some of the children to a swimming pool. I am carrying lots of Styrofoam cups of warm water with me. I place this precariously on a concrete plinth at the pool. The pool is weird a horrible deep concrete basin with a large plasma tv at our end, like a screen for scores. [Comment] I have figured out one facet of my current few dreams. White is used often for indoor scenes with artificial light and outside is often dark and/or rainy. Outside in my dreams seems to symbolise "waking state" dark and ominous , full of rain clouds with deep portent xD (my troubled waking life) I think its pointing to the fact that my awareness in the waking state is very low intensity and as a result my dream state "white with artificial light" is very low intensity also. Hence my subconscious is telling me to up my awareness dramatically (stop being lost in thought) if I want my dreams to be more vivid...lucid even... k time for more dream yoga...

Was so zonked that I fell straight back to sleep in the night. Zero recall.
I rescued a friend from the evil clutches of a fitness instructor (scary lady in dark lycra). Lycra can look very good or very bad on someone. It looked good on her but her hair was all cruela deville everywhere and a bit menacing, along with her crazed eyes. I pulled my friend away and up a grass bank... Unfortunately I snagged her leg on the top of a wire fence...amd kind of sliced it off...straight through the bone... there was a red line of blood.... then it FELL OFF! I willed her really strongly not to notice my mess up. Felt really bad, this is not how a heroine does things And being a good little dream character she played along and didn't seem to notice at all. So I put her leg back together. She then ran off along a path to freedom. All very dark in dream, maybe night time escape
I had decided not to try and WILD as this has been disturbing my sleep patterns. I lay in bed and was just daydreaming when my daydream changed and became a dream of its own. I knew this as the dream character moved of their own accord and was very much in my face. Why are dream characters always upclose in my face, it is very disconcerting. Anyway quite shocked I awoke.
Dreamt computer had virus kept popping up crap on scrreen, made me late for work waaaa!
Dream One - Entering results on computer in stuff old looking computer room. Old chairs and furniture and carpet, musty and old. Mich arrives and tells me I shouldn't have entered good results as now everyone else is going to have to pronto. Then spend time unsuccessfully to try and reverse my actions. Repeatedly entering computer room but failing. Dream Two - Large amount of people are on coastline to rescue/salvage? PP&S are there. Climb over to a large wooden boat with cabins via pontoon of floating upturned canoes with P. Find room uptop full of manga books but someone gets there and me and P can't get a look see even. Then meet RKs nan lol. Woke feeling serene.
My sleep cycle is totally messed up or rather my awareness is. Instead of shallow wakefullness between dream cycles I wake up between each all throught the night. As a consequence I feel totally exhausted despite going to bed at 10pm approx and getting up at 8am This is not good at all :/ I need to reset things Noticed familar dream theme of Talking to locals at their restaurant on Holiday.
Keep trying WILD hoping to get acclimatised to sensations. Tryed resting in heart chakra as noticed sensation of jumping back to head area on returning to wakefulness.
Reminded self that I would need to wake up lots of times to try and practise an "Indirect Technique" to catch false awakening. Had set alarm for usual wake back to bed but didn't need it as... For rest of night woke approx every 20-30mins had so many dreams couldn't remember them all :/ One recurring one early on about some guy, probably "Indirect Technique" guy.
23-08-2015 Had read lots of advanced stuff about LDs on a not need to know basis as a noob. 12pm ish Had a dream that I had worked out how to be lucid in someone else's dream Then had a follow-on one that it would be really easy to lucid just by myself. I was very pleased with myself that I was a neko cat in my dream and lucid (not) then dream was interrupted by disconnected visuals close up of my tongue(!) intense and in my face. Then dream plot continued as tho nothing had happened then crunched to a halt. - Lay awake for ages wondering what was going on and how would I RC in my dreams that were so lacking in dreamscape and usually 3rd person view. Next dream, my daughter (a younger version) asked me to play a n64 computer game, mario I think. I was 1st person as mario playing the racing in the game. I was thinking this is all a dream. Then I was able to control the car I thought this is not me controlling it its just the dream doing it. Then I morphed the dreamscape which was a really multicoloured green patchwork, again I didn't believe I could be doing this. - Awoke very puzzled as to whats going on.
