Description: I used a couple of alarms to wake me out of my dreams, they worked. I mentioned lucid dreaming and talked about it, but it never crossed my mind that I was dreaming at that instance.

Dream 1: Okay so I am trying to find out a way to get an Xbox360 slim, I have a Wii, and some games. So I thought I could sell them. At some point in my dream I asked my parents if I should. I also had a super Nintendo to. They said something along the lines of the console being to big. So I end up at family video, but it isn't actually family video, it's looks more like block buster. I go to the desk, and the clerks ask me if I want a shirt. I say yea, I could always use more shirts. So I take it. It's like a plain tan shirt. They tell me about this premiere of a couple of big movies, that is happening somewhere, that I should go. That the actors will be acting one of the scenes. So I go, and now at a desk waiting for new clothes to put on. There a quite a few people here, so I end up in a script, were all I have to do is take a photo. I do it, and the picture, is of our backs, we retake the photo. So I end up meeting some celebrity, I think it is Lindsey Lohan. I talk to her a bit, then I mention something about dreams. She says "WAIT!!!, You have those to??!!!" all excited. I say yea, like I have full control over some dreams, they are called lucid dreams. I should of went lucid but I didn't. She says she visits other realms in her dreams. So we talk for a bit, until I am getting my old clothes back, trying to take advantage of her, I say does anyone know where I can get an Xbox360? They say no, but Lohan says something about me writing something. That I will get an Xbox360. So I receive a paper, with some info on it, and what looks like a political cartoon. I couldn't actually see the cartoon, or read the words clearly. I am now back in my living room trying to do it.


Dream Fragment: We are in this room with multiple beds, people are getting shot. Someone is jumping up and down on a bed, and another person is laying down in his bed, he gets up with a shotgun in hand and starts to kill everyone in the room. I don't recall ever being there.


Dream Fragment: We are outside, at some point I am talking with my friend Kody about Fallout: New Vegas, he already has the game for the Xbox 360, I wonder why because he had a PS3, that makes me want the game even more.


Dream 2: We are inside my house, there is this dog. Not my dog, but another dog. I think I could almost compare him to Alf. Anyway at some point he is reading a book and says something about some danger, my dream skips to my brother Josh about to jaywalk, he almost gets hit by some car, and instead we are taking off the ground and are flying around the city. I ask the dog if he can see the future, he said sometimes. He says there is a certain room, that looks like the control room from Dreamscape, is easiest to see into the future, so I say sleep in my room. Then when I fall asleep, he tries to have sex with me! I say no and pushing him back, he turns into an anthropomorphic human/animal. I tell him to resist his primal urges. That ends and now we are upstairs. The dream ends.

Dream Fragment: I see my nephew outside, talking to people younger than him as usual. I am in my living room, so I start to make some food, and him and his friends start to come into my house, I say no and tell them to leave. He does, and my mom comes into the dream and I tell her about how he gets everything for less, when I work and don't get everything he does. The dream is foggy, and I remember going outside, and doing something, but I don't know what. I just know in real life, I have more things, so I don't know what the dream meant haha.

I had these dreams a couple of weeks ago. This happened in the same night and was definitely one of the top three dreaming sessions I've ever had. I've had around 15 lucid dreams this year, but no false awakening. This time I got one!

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING SLEEP PARALYSIS

LD1:I'm in a big house with some other people, the walls are covered with doors of glass and for some reason I'm in a fight. A girl enters the room and she attacks me instantly. I reach out with my hand towards her and makes it into a fist. As if by some invisible force, she almost gets crushed. Her eyes widen with shock and fear. I fling my hand to the side and she flies through the room with incredible speed. I pull her back infront of me and she slides in under a table. She gets smacked up and down all the way to the roof and back down again as I do an up- and down motion with my whole arm. I laugh evily at the ammount of power I finally have with telekinesis. Two other people comes rushing in the room and I make all three in the room face eachother in a tight bunch. I make a chain wrap itself around them all and I laugh some more as I watch them struggle in vain.

LD2:I'm on top of a large mountain with some guys. We're doing some kind of "Jackass" show and I light a ball of hay on fire and throw it at one guy. He panics and everybody laughs. Suddenly the fire spreads and I notice that the whole mountain is made out of hay. Within a few seconds the entire place is on fire and we run for our lives. I run through some woods and end up at my old house which I used to live in when I was a kid. There, next to a car, is my family. "Wait a second... This is a dream" I say to myself. I try to convince my family that this all is a dream and they don't have to fear the fire. They refuse to listen to me so I give up and walk away. I enter a plowed field and while standing there in the mud, I try to think of something to do. I can't really think of something as I remember how I had dominated with telekinesis in my last dream. I decide just to fly some and it feels awesome as usual.


LD3:I'm at a big lake with my dad and my youngest brother. I instantly know it's a dream and I convince my dad that it is. "Look, I can shoot pinecones" I say and pick one up. With it in my hand I hold it up towards the sky and it shoots up and out of sight. Ten seconds later it falls down just next to us. My dad wants to try it out and my brother too. They aren't as good as me at it but they do alright. I decide to take a swim in the big lake and as I dive off the cliff I can hear my brother yell something behind me. It sounds as if he doesn't want me to do it. I plunge into the water and it's as if I'm being propelled by an invisible force. I decide to try to fly out of it and makes a jump, just like a dolphin before on my second try, I am soaring through the air. A couple of seconds later I start to feel my body.

FA1:I wake up and I'm sure I've overslept. The neighbours are playing real loud music and I get pissed off. I wake up for real and realise I've had my very first "False Awakening"

This was the first time I could use telekinesis properly. And I've had two lucid dreams since then, in which both I could use it without any problems.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

Im on my way out of a house in my hometown Hudiksvall, standing in the hallway I reckon it´s the house of a friends friend, Påhl, whom I've visited once before. It's a really cozy house in the middle of the old parts of the town. It's deserted and dark, as if I've snuck myself in there at night like a burgler. When I get out I realize it's been snowing since the last time I was outside. Later I´m on a parking lot with great snow walls around it from the ploughing of snow. It's still night but there're other people around by the lot. At first, I'm riding a small three-wheeled bike, then I'm in a car driving around this lot. I do not make especially well...I think I crash and/or fall of my bike while people are watching.

I joined the Serial Dream RPG challenge and I think this night I started engaging in it. Some lady introduced me to the game and I started working on the look of my character, although officially it hadn't start yet

Discussion with dad
I’m at my mom’s house with her and my dad. My dad enquires me about these “things” I am involved in (namely Buddhism, spiritual practices and dream-stuff). As he is enquiring me about this, I am on the laptop just finalizing this thing on the DV forum or something like that and I start responding him by exemplifying what I was just dealing with on that moment.
He is a hardcore atheist, materialist, for whom nothing like shared dreams or reality being product of the mind is acceptable. He therefore becomes more and more stressed as I go explaining all this. My mom understands more or less what I’m saying and as usual, she is eager to learn, so she is quiet in the background. My father gets up and starts moving around a bit angry. He says I am completely off tracks and lost my reason. I try to show him that’s not the case, it is merely him who is narrow-minded. But he gets really pissed. He asks me if I trust more these “people” (I guess my fellow dreamers, my Buddhist sangha, my gurus?) than I trust his judgement. And I clearly say a resounding yes! That no matter how much that hurts him, I would more readily follow any advice from my gurus than from him, whose judgement I always had very little trust. He goes ballistic! He starts shouting and my mom now wants to intervene but I tell her not to. I tell him that I am an adult independent woman and he no longer controls me or decides for me what’s best.
My dad leaves the room, then opens the front door, but sits outside in the stairs, groaning about it. My mom then laughs and makes really nervous mockery about his reaction. She always gets upset with this frequent clash between me and dad. But I was expecting this exact reaction and I know this is a dream and therefore I was not afraid to push him to his limits – I am planting the seed. With time he will see, understand and accept that I make my own choices.

4:00 GMT

Hovercraft ride
I’m with some group of people, like we’re on an adventure and we’re by the side of a road waiting for transportation. Two vans arrive and we divide in two groups. The van I go to, then transforms into a hovercraft. The lady driver seems to be a bit crazy and as soon as she starts driving, she steps on the gas. We go through dangerous roads through mountains, on top of cliffs and we are a bit scared with her driving – on one point, we almost fell off the road – so we tell her to go slower or she we’ll damage the hovercraft as the road is quite bad. That’s the only argument that works to convince her.

Surreal bathroom landscape
Later I’m in a tall building, like a skyscraper. At this point for some reason I am entering a bathroom expecting to find someone there and I find these two black ladies, mother and young daughter, in the bathtub, very relaxed. The floor is wet. So wet, that actually it looks like a lake. I climb onto a sofa that is on the left side of the room and as I sit there, I am actually like on the edge of a lake. I see aquatic plants and I see an animal approaching. It is a bison! He is coming out of the water and the only way to do so is by also climbing to the sofa. I find this just too damn weird, the bison is huge and will for sure crush me, so I decide to leave this room and wait for whatever is supposed to happen to come to me instead.


Skyscraper fall survivors
I am now on a room with bookshelves and there’s a window where I can see the outside. We’re on some high floor and I see another building in front, as well as a viaduct a bit to the left side. Then an earthquake strikes and this building we are in, starts bending forward, like a tree. It hits the building in front and lies suspended diagonally. Before the whole thing collapses I manage to get out through the window and others (still the same group since the beginning of the adventure?) follow me. We end up on a kind of platform, which I think is part of the collapsed viaduct that was nearby. A bunch of people gathers here, looking around seeing the destruction. This black girl that was on the bathtub is exploring a bit more and her mother calls her back, because she is doing some acrobatic stunts in some other suspended platform, on a level below us. It looks very unstable but she insists in looking for survivors or something. She then returns and all together we find some way down to the ground level.

Ice-creams on underground city
After walking some time under the debris, we find an entrance to an underground part of the city and this seems to be intact and fully running. There are some guards at the door, but they allow us in. This underground place is like a city within the city, it looks like a giant mall, with cafés, shops, galleries and even hotels. I am sitting on a café table, crying. Two ladies from the group appear again by my side and order ice-creams. I feel disoriented, how can they be so cool, eating ice-creams. I decide to get up and leave but they just give me an order to go get an orange ice-cream for myself. And I go and when I am trying to pay, the cashier asks me if my money is new and good. I don’t know why he asks me that but I look in my wallet and I have lots of foreign money and some chips with insignias on it, I have no clue what they are. The ice cream is only 20 cts, which I manage to pay and ask it to be delivered at table two.

Rules of the game and entering my character
Then there’s a gap, but a lady (one of the previous ladies?) is now explaining me “the game”. She shows me a large text, like a roll of parchment she starts unfolding in front of my eyes. It’s an introduction and rules of the game. But it is so dense, so long, that I just give up after a few paragraphs and lose my interest. I continued looking at it, but at a certain point I was no longer reading it.
Then there’s another gap, but I remember starting walking through these large hallways – where everything is luxurious, like an underground avenue with hotels on both sides and fancy restaurants and art galleries. I feel I have a new different look, so I stop by a large mirror on the wall to look at myself and I look weird but cool at the same time, with long black hair, dark sunglasses and an avant-garde red dress with a stylish hood over my head. I feel I look awesome but maybe a bit too much Lady Gaga for my taste. Everybody is looking at me and I feel I need to tone down a little. I take the hood and the glasses. And adjust the dress – it actually becomes sexier, with a cleavage and tighter. Then I think I look more like what I should look like and keep going. I find this exit doors to the outside and end up in a square with a fountain. I remember lots of people moving around, coming in an out of the underground city, the outside being a bit grey, then... I don’t recall the rest of the dream.


7:30 GMT – Wake up

Good morning!

My dreams are finally starting to get a bit more fun. That means no extreme anxiety. But who knows? I might get some tonight hah! Anyways I had a few dreams tonight, no LD's tho. But they will come! Here's what I dreamt.

*I'm at the beach with my family, suddenly a wasp appear and tries to sting me. I start running for my life but it follows me to the end of a road where it is joined by a pack of its friends. I pull my shirt over my head and tries to shut it tight. I still get stung several times in the butt and it hurts like hell! I start running back towards the beach and when I reach it, they are finally gone. I lay down on the beach and pull down my pants just under the butt and show my family the warwounds. "It's not that bad actually" my sister says. I try to take a look at it but can't see much. "Really? It hurts like hell tho" I watch a grasshopper land next to my moms face.

**I'm at my friend G's house. I'm watching TV in the living room and an old gamerfriend from UK (Kyndig) is sitting in the chair next to me, shuffling his Magic the Gathing cards. "Want me to go get my deck at home, so we can have a fair fight?" I ask. He just shakes his head. Suddenly I can hear my phone ringing. I answer it and can hear it's grandpa on the other end. "Hi Matteh, I was just wondering... well... if I could... you know..." I recall that I have borrowed a TV from him and I understand that he wants it back. "Oh, don't worry grandpa! If you want it back, you can have it" I say and my mother starts freaking out. I hang up and find her in another room, pouring water on an electrical socket. "We're gonna short-circuit this place, it will make a funny noise!" She says and I get mad at her, but decides to take a piss instead. I can't really aim at the toilet seat and it gets everywhere.

***I'm with a bunch of cops and we arrest two dudes in the street. They keep screaming: "We're police! We're police!" I take away their gun and after a minute or so, talk to one of them. He's drooling like a baby and I tell him to stop drooling because it will make him get a cold. "And don't prevent those shivers! That's the body's way of trying to stay warm" I tell him and put him and his friend in the back of a truck. Suddenly we're at a big pool and everyone jumps in. "Come on Matteh, join us!" They all yell, but I'm not really in a mood for it. I can feel a tooth coming off in my mouth and I take it out. "Damn that sucks" I think for myself and put it back in there. Suddenly I see a big hot tub with a girl in it. I jump in and she is smoking hot! I can see instructions on the side of the tub and the girl in the tub, is the girl in the pictures! I state it to her but she really doesn't care about me. Suddenly another girl shows up and they start messing around. After thirty seconds or so one of them turns to me and just as I grab her, I wake up!

Amount of sleep: 9½ hours

Well that's it! I will try to write down a lucid dream I had, but that will be later on. I'm gonna make my own "List of Goals first"

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

----------
I was sitting in class at school when I randomly stood up and went outside to the primary school eating area. The sky was overcast, it looked like it was about to rain. My friend was sitting on one of the seats there looking lonely. I ran up to her and hugged her and we acted like we hadn't seen each other in months. We talked about random things for a while and I knew that I should really have been getting back to class. Miss R walked past every so often and was looking at us strangely. I decided to go to the office and pretend I had a fever and didn't feel well. They didn't really care so I went back out and stayed with my friend. Then my other friend came along and asked why we weren't in class. I told her I was looking after the friend I was sitting with. My friend decided to join us and all three of us sat and chatted for the rest of the dream.
----------
It was nighttime and I was outside holding my violin. Some gypsy music was playing in the distance and around me were people heading towards it. There were canvas tents around me and lamps lit by flames lighted the area. I ducked into one of the tents and found my violin teacher putting on earrings in a full-body mirror. I smiled and went to my case to put away my violin. My violin teacher's daughter was there as well and she gave me a hug. Immediately my violin teacher asked her about it. "Why did you give her a hug and say hello? You never do that," my violin teacher commented. Her daughter shrugged and I finished putting away my violin.
*Sigh* Will I ever have a lucid dream again?

Tonight I had my first DEILD,

Dream before:
I was at work when I went into another room which I didn't new existed at all, this room had alot of machinary in it. One of the machines had a flute on it like the ones on steam engines, and there was coming steam out of it, I was walking underneath this stream of steam just hoping to not get burned when suddenly I was forced to the ground and couldn't move at all.
I yelled for help just before "waking up" into SP (I woke up half but enough to become aware, I had this a few times before, but I never succesfully entered another dream.)

Transition:
The transition was the weird sensation of sinking in my bed, I had this a few times before so I didn't get too excited like the last times. I wanted to visualize my room but this didn't work, then all of a sudden I saw the ceiling of my room while I knew my eyes were still closed.

My dream after:
Looking at the ceiling the dream was still very weak, I rubbed my hands togheter to try and stabilize it, but it didn't work too well. But then I realized there was this glasses on my head which blurred my vision, when I put off these glasses my dream became instantly vivid, but my room was still very dark. I decided to search the light button and turn it on, walking to the light button was still kind of hard because the dream had became more weak again. When I finally succeeded at turning the light on my room wasn't my room anymore. It had became a white room with a lot of lights, the walls were white and there was a white clock. This instantly increased the vividness of my dream, There also was a mirror, and when I looked into the mirror I saw myself when I was 10 years old. I decided to look around some more in the room and this is where I woke up.

I Just Wanted a Drink. . . (DEILD)

★★★★☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

As I fall asleep, I hold onto the waking world using the annoying pop music blaring through my closed window. Stupid freshman events. . .

A forest. I need to form a forest. . .

Blackness surrounds me as I make the transition.

Green leaves swirl about my vision as I spin and fall into the dream. When everything solidifies, I find myself in a location filled with buildings like the ones you'd find on any college campus. Not enough trees. The tavern and the town are in the middle of the woods. Not satisfied with my surroundings I quickly level most of the buildings around me with a thought, and push the remains underground, replacing the plots with dirt and grass. In a similar fashion, I pull hundreds of trees from beneath the ground to the surface, shooting mounds of dirt high into the air.

Better, I think, This place still needs a river. Still using nothing but the power of my will, I bevel a long stretch of winding earth, snaking it around trees and near the few remaining buildings. As soon as I finish with that, I pull enough water up to create a decent sized river, and set everything in motion. That's good enough for me.

Walking through my creation, I try to recall Nomad's tasks. I can only remember the one about the Hoppy Brains Tavern, so I figure I'll start there. After walking a good distance I come across a very upscale building, with a fancy HB crafted in the open metal gate and metal sign hanging over the door. While my logical self told me this was not the place, something deeper--perhaps my character--was telling me this is where I needed to be.

In front of the door was a female hostess in a simple, white, long-sleeve shirt and black slacks. She stops me, asking if I had made a reservation. I do what my character would do and tell her the truth. Disappointed I wouldn't be getting that drink, I head off the property as the dream starts to collapse around me. . .

DEILD.

Back in the forest I had created, I find myself next to a large lake. Someone behind me gets my attention. Turning, I draw my blade from my side. Sure enough, it's another Shinigami, but his robes, although of traditional make, are white--definitely not standard uniform. He grins broadly, in an almost friendly manner, Zanpaktou in hand. In a flash, we cover the distance between us, crossing blades. My view cuts out, showing the two of us, and the glaring disparity between our uniforms. Sharp metal sparks brightly as the two of us clash. Our movements are so precise and coordinated, that neither of us can get an edge. To the untrained eye, we appear to be equals. . .

Standing on the edge of a cliff, overlooking the lake, Nomad is chastising me for the fight. He tells me that it's hard to look those we wish to kill in the eyes, "It's better to tear the baby from its mother's arms and immediately throw it off the edge of the cliff than it is to look at its face first." I think back to the fight with the mysterious stranger. I certainly didn't mean to kill him. Our fight, if you can even call it that, was more a friendly hello than anything else. Perhaps this was a person my character knew long ago. He definitely felt familiar. . .

"There are lessons you need to be taught." Nomad states bluntly.

"Who's going to teach me?"

"You'll find out," he says as he strikes me, hard, launching me from the cliff. Dropping through the air, I resist the instinct to fly, and instead prepare for whatever lies beneath the surface.

Crashing into the still waters, I can't help thinking about sharks, so what do I have the pleasure of facing down in this murky water as soon as the bubbles clear? Why, a twenty foot great white of course. Staying cool under pressure, I tear my blade from my side and sever its head from its body in one fell motion. Blood permeates through the water as the dead shark sinks out of sight; I sheathe my sword and rise to the surface.

A short while later, two mermaids approach me, and grab my arms. I don't struggle, assuming they're here to take me to my teacher. We reach the center of the lake, and from the depths, rises King Triton, only about 100 times larger, and with a more monstrous body.

His lesson consists of holding me underwater for long periods of time. I cheat and breathe normally, staying calm the whole time. Afterwards, there's a feast at a rather large, golden, banquet table.

Spock gets moody around a couple of girls, and storms off, leaving them for Captain Kirk to woo. Picard was there, too, but not really doing anything interesting.

I don't have time to upload everything now, so I'll post bits so hopefully I'll remember it all tomorrow too.

Flashlights functioning as lightsabers, or lightsabers functioning as lights. I had my own silver lightsaber, but it didn't have a "blade", it just light up like a regular flashlight. White light too. Then I also had another lightsaber too, and this guy took it apart, poored a little bit of this sparkly liquid into it, then closed it, and it lit up better. Then water started to shoot out of it.

I was in a forest, then running through it, and running to a specific place as fast as I could, because it was where my master was last. And I knew he was gone, possibly dead? All I knew was that he wasn't coming back, and so I ran to that spot and he wasn't there. I found the other lightsaber there.

I was inside this small house, it was bright outside, daytime, and golden light shown in. There was a bigscreen tv and a DC friend was there telling me about this multiplayer game, another DC friend in costume (kinda like yugi from yugioh, at least with their hair). I was holding a joystick-type gamepad and I kept receiving instructions on how to play this game. It seemed awesome, never got to play it. In a room near to this living room, I was at a dining room table (much the same room as in real life at my parents house) and about five other guys were at it. I had been in deep thought, thinking that I was at "home" but then traveled back to this place. I had missed being with them, although I didn't say so. The guy sitting at the opposite end of the table asked what was on my mind, but I didn't reply. I was nostalgic, and happy to be here.

I was outside along this road going through a forest at night, leading some fellow campers?/students behind me. There was also another counselor besides myself, and we were leading them somewhere in the beginning of another adventure. I just remember that I was one of the leaders in charge of these students, and it was the first time I was undertaking a experience like this, but I felt confident at the same time.

Those are the parts that stick out to me, although I know there's more.

These are just dreams of mine that have been recalled without me ever recording them. Sometimes I simply have a dream, forget it, then remember it 2-10 days later. So here's a few of them that I have recalled recently.

1. I was parachuting (I was actually sitting on a small swing seat with a parachute attached to it) with some friends over a huge grassy field with a mountain a little bit ahead of me. I passed the mountain and saw a huge grassy field and a river. On the other side of the river was a campground. I landed at the campground where an old woman had set up her tent.

2. I was at a city in the clouds. Everything was...odd. There was a homeless guy that tried to kill me too. At one point in this dream, I got into some pimp's house (his whole house was purple and futuristic looking) and stole his spaceship.

3. I was swimming around the entrance to Atlantis Airport (yes, the underwater city Atlantis, except it wasn't underwater). My dad was going away for a little bit, so I was told to swim around to the entrace to the city/airport and go up to the food court and get some food.

4. I was on a roller coaster with one of my friends. We got on and rode it around one time. When we got off we noticed another lane had opened up. This lane dipped into acid during the ride.

Giving a hand at the Olive Oil store. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I slept only six hours. I went to bed late and woke up early. I recalled three fragments.

Third:

This dream was drawn from old residue and false memories.

I was at the olive oil store. (residue, it has been over a month I do not work there) The store had two identical tasting bars. We had different shaped bottles with different olive oils (false memory) I tasted one. It tasting like olive oil and something else I cannot recall properly, however, it had like sand. I saw the manager, who was not friendly at all. There were different co-workers.

I was walking around the store and I was behind one of these bars. I knew I did not work there, I just went to say hi. The store was very busy and as I was behind a bar, I gave a hand. I wondered if they would even appreciate my voluntarism.

The store closed at 06:00 PM now. I was wondering how they could close so early. The store was in the middle of the country. There was nothing but sand and a few trees outside. It was sunny.

Missed dream signs:
- Two tasting bars.
- Odd bottles.
- I was "working" there.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Head for a ToTY.

I went to a beautiful neighborhood in quincy and it was where joe and adry lived and apologized to both of them and adry was happy to see me. I said "sorry i was being a c--- and left you hanging" and they were like no its cool it wasnt your fault

Been analyzing dreams for about a week and I feel I am on the verge of something or the other. I have tried cues to get me to sleep and I think I am changing them up too quickly. I pick runes, grab a notebook, change positions, even change meditation techniques before I go to bed.

My dreams are coming in jolts like misplaced chapters in some crazy book, unknown to me as the big plot. I wake with the most results from about 2-3 am, trying hard to use the MILD but if I fall asleep I never return. Many times I feel that I am grabbing onto the rope of a floating balloon but can never quite reach it. Despite this I sense that I am on the verge of a breakthrough.

I have been reading and I think the eyelid pattern technique will be the one for me this evening. I plan on returning here and journal a few dreams I have been having recently. Of note, dreams have been rather broken up and have had many smaller chapters with the larger chapter happening just before or after 3am. Alas 3am seems to be the wake point for me.
