comments: the cheap ear buds weren't working - so I just though through the script in my head, focusing on the phrase 'keep looking for the vibe' - pleased the DILD happened without the audio

I am dreaming I am in bed with wife - effectively a FA as the room is the same but maybe 1 hr later when the sun is just up. We start to get a little frisky, touching and rolling under sheets, when my hand brushes up against something. I look down and see what looks a brown poo! All amorous thoughts come to a screeching halt!!!! I can't believe it - can it be wifes? ERGH - awful thought, I still can't believe and start to suspect strongly I am dreaming. I am certain enough I pick it up (wow!) its soft but not overly sticky - more like brown playdoo and I break it and smell it and it doesn't really have any smell. I am sure I am dreaming now but as wife is still in the bed (but no longer moving) I decide I need to be 110% sure. I do a series of watch RC's and time changes, but subtley, the hour stays the same but the minutes change by 10's, first going back, then forward - 10.50, 10.40, 11.00. At this point some irrationally I suddenly think ' I've got to stabilise NOW!' a bit stupid as the dream up to this point even with me being lucid already was pretty calm, I climb onto the bed slowly as I still feel alittle nervy about wife and clumsly start to spin slowly. At this point with a roaring in my ear, the dream collapses into the void! DOOHHH!

thoughts: I wasn't panicked to be in the dream, I just seemed to get flustered thinking if I didn't do a crazy spin to stabilize I'd lose the dream. And of course in the process of the panic of losing it - I lost it! CRAP! Will try and remain more calm and hand rub next time I think.

Method: I AM, WT c.530am (7 hrs), lucid around 7.00? Sun morn lie in
Comments: Short - of interest just because of the main character - been watching 24 series back to back with my wife....now taking a toll on my dreaming life too!

The vibe has gone off, I've listened to the audio and am dozing, already having had a 'proto-lucid' fail (interrupted HH). But then as I am dozing a vivid dream scene forms around me, I'm in a whitish office/apartment and Jack Bauer from 24 is there - he starts talking to me - all earnst - about what needs to be done to save the president - I am somewhat amazed that the dream has solidified so much that I can see and hear him as if he were real and in front of me, I panic slightly, but fight it off, then rub a chair in front of me, but then I start thinking about that I don't know how to anchor the WILD - confusing myself that this is a different process from normal stabilization of a DILD - and - I loss it in the introspection, back to the void, try spinning but too late....

thoughts - given the number of recent proto-WILD fails - this was pleasing, and fun to interact (briefly) with a DC like jack bauer - but too brief (again)
