    Total sleep time: 5 hrs

    Pre bed: 3 mg mel

    WBTB1 natural: 2x peppermint oil tablets

    WBTB2 alarm: 1/2 cup of green tea + analytical thoughts + noise = insomnia

    Vividness: Extreme

    Dream1: Me and my parents are in a hotel, I have just had some supplements and am preparing for sleep. I look at a graph with bar that shows progress towards lucidity that depends on the amount of menthol I took. The status bar is not completely full, about 70 percent to lucid, so I am contemplating whether I should take another tablet or just risk falling asleep and see what happens. I ask my mom if she plans to take a shower now, so that I can shower before her and go to bed. She is watching/listening to something and has three sets of headphones, two of which I identify as mine, and get a bit upset to see she has left a very realistically looking earwax on one of them.
    mood: task oriented - become lucid

    Fragment2: The toilet seat in grandma's place, and a big mess of poo. Will give no further descriptions, although I remember it in quite a detail. ( Sorry, this was very vivid so had to mention it,lol!)
    mood: wondering

    Fragment3: I am in a bus, and I am observing and being told the story of a man and a woman. They were supposed to meet here at that bus, be together, but one of them changes something, and the other one gets off the bus before this happens. I am thinking perhaps another time.
    mood: interested, positive

    Comments: Oh, well, went a bit over the edge here, but at least I stuck to my plan to do a WBTB. Lol!

      That dream with the lucidity meter was great. A long time ago I had a non-lucid that was really similar where I was playing a video game and it had this ever-increasing percentage to how close I was to achieving lucidity. I seriously do think that the chances are very good you'd become lucid if a "meter" like this hits 100, simply through expectation alone.

      As for fragment 2... isn't it nice how the mind chooses to make some dreams extra vivid that you later wish were not?

      Yep, I find it pretty cool too. I wonder if taking another menthol pill in the dream would have made a difference in awareness, had the meter hit 100.

      Maybe it's high time to invent some LD RPG game, where you actually walk around familiar and strange places, gather objects that get you lucid and then perform tasks. Oh, wait there is one such game, we're in it now. *RC*

      No, but seriously, imagine a real game like this helping us get lucid.

      True, I don't mind detailed rainbows or waterfalls but some things really do not need to be that vivid!
