I tried SSILD for the 2nd night in a row. Though I have yet to experience lucidity my dreams have taken on a new quality. They're more vivid and full. Extremely realistic. I had two full dreams and a couple of fragments I can't recall:

1. Dream #1 - I was having a conversation with Mitt Romney's mom (though he looked like George Bush). She was really old with white hair. We talked about her long marriage to her husband. How he was sick and can't get around the way he used to. And she spoke about her Mormon faith. Nice lady. Though I'm not sure why I'd dream about her.

2. Dream #2 - My family and I were in the dining room preparing for supper. Everything and everyone looked exactly as they do IRL except my husband. My dream husband was quite large (like a linebacker) and unsmiling. As I pushed myself from the dinner table I notice my huge pregnant tummy! Somehow I knew I was carrying a boy. My hubby and I were happy about the baby but not with each other. There was polite tension that made me feel uneasy around him.

The thing that got me about dream #2 is how real it seemed! I can't stress that enough. It totally felt like it was happening. The action was so mundane and familiar. By the time strange things began to register the dream was over! Unfortunately my son woke me up before the dream naturally ended.
