lucid

I am standing about 6ft. away from a big metal electric gate. It is the kind of gate that slides. Behind the gate is a huge forest. I realize I am dreaming and that this is my opportunity to complete the task from class. I try to reality check and look at my hands but they are not clear. I do other reality checks but none are difinitive. I decide to fly over the gate but I am unable to move. I feel like I am blocked.

Did RC's as much as possible yesterday and meditated in the afternoon using mantra "I will lucid dream tonight". Before sleep did relaxation, self hypnosis (that I would lucid dream tonight and wake up during each dream period and recall my dreams). Repeated short mantra "I will lucid dream tonight or very soon" and visualized seeing a dream sign and becoming lucid.

Was exhausted last night and slept very heavily and had zero recall this morning. Got up at 7:30 and fed my cats and played with them for about 20 minutes and then a WBTB. I could not fall back asleep using MILD so decided to try a WILD. I definitely went into SP and did RC's which failed so I was dreaming although very shallow. Had a few disjointed storylines going and a couple of lucid fragments of a dog on my cats condo and four black cats walking in a line in my bedroom. Next time I looked at my clock it was 10:20am. I got up. It wasn't excactly mind blowing but I think it was good practice.
