It was an assumption on my part that if I talk or think about lucidity and dreams in my dreams, I will instantly become lucid. However, this assumption is invalid (because the antecedent is true and the consequent is false in the material implication) as I have a dream of me talking about dreams with my older brother. To rub the salt in the wound, my older brother called Stephen LaBerge to get both of us into Stanford for his lucidity research.

Now I feel inclined to do a reality check every time I research or talk about lucidity.

Moral of the story: Practicing dream recall gives surprising results.

On December 20, I did an all-night study for a human sexuality final on December 21. This study composed of reading three textbook chapters, about 90 pages, on STI, contraception, and sexual violence. After reading so much, I decided to sleep for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

I also assumed that I wouldn't be able to recall my dreams since my sleep will be too short for any dreams. But, lo!, a dream came to me! Apparently, 1 hour and 30 minutes were enough to fit a REM sleep.

The setting took place in the rolling hills of New Zealand. I noticed that there were vampires running away from angels. An unseen narrator told me that vampires were running so that they could find a way to revert back to human so they could go to Heaven as a human instead of Hell as a vampire.

I woke up after that and laughed at the fact that dream recall did more than I expected.
