    Purpose
    Dreams, notes, and other experiments to assist in achieving high-quality lucid dreams on a regular basis.

    Terms

    Dream Initiated Lucid Dream (DILD): Lucid dreaming type that originates from the dreamer regaining awareness from within a dream.

    Wake Initiated Lucid Dream (WILD): Lucid dreaming type that originates from the dreamer maintaining awareness from waking near-directly into a dream.

    Wake Back To Bed (WBTB): Sleep cycle interruption technique used to achieve lucid dreams.

      Coin Search:
      I wakeup in a hotel in California, where I just was a few weeks ago.
      Out of habit I do a hands reality check. I only have four fingers per hand (no thumbs).
      I follow-up with a nose reality check to verify. I can breathe.
      I become lucid.
      I try to remember what I want to do, but the first thing to occur to me is to look for DV coins in my pocket like I planned.
      I start rummaging in my pockets and feel a bunch of textures of what feel like large pieces of plastic, but no coin.
      I realize the acronym EV I've been rehearsing, means Engage-Verbalize, so I start rubbing the walls and saying "this is a dream, I'm dreaming, this is a dream..."

      But my lucidity fades fast.
      ...
      I'm at the same hotel, but this time I'm with my girlfriend, her sister KH, and KH's husband SH.
      We're playing a game, where I was supposed to have hidden a number of beers for them to find.
      I'm trying to stealthily hide the beers as they look for them, and simply pretend that they are well hidden.
      Later I notice that my friend PG is there as well.

      Pop-Ups:
      I'm at an art contest with my friend JM.
      I notice that he has created an epic work of art over time and feel very jealous.
      I decide to tough it out and try my best, so I pull out my phone to get a reference picture.
      But when I try to open the browser, pop-ups keep appearing where I am trying to tap.
      It is very frustrating, and I wake up feeling annoyed.

      Fragment:
      I'm in a park, playing a game.
      I'm trying to get over a hill.
      ...
      I'm heating a mask, it is a sort of exploit for a game we are playing.
      ...
      I'm at highschool graduation and somebody is getting a religion-related honor.
