Miles to Meters With Grandpa: I'm on vacation with my girlfriend's family. Mostly her's, but a few representatives from mine are there too. We are all staying at a large ranch-style home. Recently I have woken up from a dream and I have my phone out ready to record audio for it. The dream within a dream I am remembering is apparently a lucid dream, where I noticed my girlfriend sleeping next to me. She is twitching and making quiet pained sounds. From experience I know this is a nightmare. After a few tries I successfully wake her up. So, I want to find somewhere private to record this dream, but there are people everywhere I go. I walk from the living room, to a hallway, to a den that looks like a room from my ex's Dad's house. All crowded with people. I make my way outside eventually into the yard. It's vibrant green, summertime, as typical for my dreams, with some yellow shine effects. ... I'm in the garage now with somebody that the dream indicates is my girlfriend's Grandpa, but he doesn't look like him. We're in a car together and parking it by pulling forward into the garage. He wants me to measure some distance from where we are to the parking spot, so he hits some big square buttons on the dashboard. There is a digital indicator with a two digit number followed by an "m" for the units that comes onto the dash after he has hit the buttons. I say outloud that "Ah! That must be miles...oh wait that doesn't make sense...meters!" I'm worried that I look stupid in front of him...not wanting to embarrass myself in front of my girlfriend's Grandpa. I ask him why we are measuring this in the first place and he excitedly says "So that we get to hit the buttons!" This strikes me as odd, so I do a nose reality-check. I can breathe. This is a dream. I tell the Grandpa that this is a dream, and he gives me a strange look. Like an "oh shit, you've figured it out" look. I attempt to transform him for certain experimental purposes, but it doesn't work. Fragment: I'm in a mall-like building, in a large diner similar to something like a Coney Island restaurant. There is a clothing store nearby that, within the story of the dream, I am very familiar with. It seems that I have worked at this mall for a long time. Fragment: I'm with my brother and my girlfriend in the living room. My brother hits my girlfriend. I'm enraged. I catch her, and then within seconds I've knocked my brother down, without thinking about it. He tried to defend his action, but I'm not listening. In my mind, he has no excuse.

Based on this and the last WBTB attempt, it seems like 6hr/10m might not be the optimal WBTB configuration for me. I think I'll stick to it for experiment #4 to finish out the original plan though. Went to bed at 11:30PM. Pre-WBTB Fragment I'm at the Darkmoon Faire from World of Warcraft. I'm playing as a Night Elf. I'm bragging to the other players around me about something. Recorded at 5:30AM. Near the end of sleep cycle 3. Scorpion Trap I'm at some sort of manor, and I'm together with my ex-girlfriend H. I find it strange that we are together again, but not enough to make me question it further. We are standing in the front yard and it resembles the side-entrance from highschool (P) but with concrete steps going up. There is a man up a story telling us about a device. The device is a way to capture or deal with scorpions. I remember looking back at H and thinking she looked kinda hot with her short blue dress on. Recorded at 5:30AM. Near the end of sleep cycle 3. WBTB Woke up 6 hours after going to bed as planned. Felt very well rested. Almost decided to just stay awake. But I want those points. So I took the Galantamine 8mg to stay consistent with my experiment parameters and reviewed my go-forward for the lucid. After 10 minutes I went back to bed. Post-WBTB False Awakening I wake up in my bed and do a nose-plug RC out of habit. I'm lucid now. I try to move my hands forward to do a hands RC, but they feel very heavy. I struggle against this weight, but I can't overcome it. Recorded at 7AM. Early in sleep cycle 5.
