side notes

I had a irritation of the skin that made it difficult to sleep. I awoke from dreams a few times but didn't bother to write anything and no recall in the morning. Better tomorrow.

This was at least a week ago. It's a somewhat memorable dream from the last few weeks of my being lazy about journaling. Anyway, let's get on with it.

Calling SO
Method DILD (spontaneous)
Lucidity C
Vividness C
Control D
I become lucid somehow, I don't recall. I think I'm in my living room. I'm waiting for someone? I'm impatiently pacing back and forth across the room. Maybe I'm not really lucid. It's hard to remember. It's was vivid enough to be memorable and what I do next is something I've done at least twice in past lucids.

I don't want to be kept waiting so I decide to call someone. Who? SO. I pull out my cell phone from my pocket. It's brightly colored with small icons that I can't make out. I confidently smash the keypad to hit a few random buttons. It's funny that I would expect that to work, but it does. Then I listen as it rings and rings with no answer.

So, what's interesting about this dream is that I've tried to call SO before in lucid dreams and she never answers. But oddly, I had an experience in real life when I was sleepwalking and called her and she did answer. Apparently, she and I had a conversation that I have no memory of. The next day, I pieced together most of what happened with her help but I have no direct memory of it. That experience often bothers me, so I suspect it's coming through in my dreams. I wonder if have those memories in my unconscious.

Finally broke the dryspell with two medium quality LDs. Dryspell was about 3 weeks I think. Don't have time to write them up, maybe later.

It's been a poor few weeks. Recently, I made the effort to put my sleep schedule back in line. I hope I can make it stick and that will bring back my dreams as well.

No recall. Actually, I woke up once and I knew I was dreaming but it faded so fast that I couldn't remember anything.

Drank a fair amount last night so poor recall. I had some vague recollection of a dream at the very end of the night. I'm straining now to bring up just one detail but alas I just can't.

I predict a good weekend.

Had two dreams but don't recall them. Also had dreams while on Christmas vacation, but didn't have my dream journal. No lucids.
