    Bedtime: 9:15PM

    Fell asleep practicing SSILD

    Alien Volcano 10:51
    I am in an inactive volcano with my daughters. I get the feeling that it is Mercury. We are on the dark side and there is a layer of ice above us. I break it open and set a detonator to blow it up. We get inside a hot air balloon and it doesn't rise high enough. I push a button on a necklace around my neck. I tell my ex something about the girls being late. Her reply makes no sense. We climb out of the balloon and are at the mall. They want to go see a movie.

    Fight With Sister 2:24AM

    I am trying to shave in the bathroom and N. makes a rude comment. We blow up at each other and say awful things. A lot of past hurts and grievances get brought up. I continue to shave. I see my hair is so long its on my mustache. I start to shave it but look closer. Now it is just in my eyes. I think oh yeah. I wanted to grow my hair out. I examine it closer and notice every detail. I think about my wife and how we spent the night apart. I miss her and want to see her.

    WBTB 2:30AM - 3:00AM 200MG B6

    Uncomfortable move to recliner.

    SSILD I had some trouble sleeping at some point and went to counting mantra
    LJS 4:10AM NLD to DEILD

    I am back at my first job Long John Silvers. I am opening and start to gather up food and supplies to cook. My old bosses S and D are there. They are already cooking a large order. I go to some upstairs to get some more fish. I am in a big room and see a lady from the grocery store. For some reason I get naked but cover myself with a jacket. Then I walk to her and ask for oral sex. I purposely control her answer with my mind like some jedi mind trick. We say Yes together. Before we do anything I realize what I am doing and stop. I make myself wake up.

    I try really hard not to do this in dreams. Especially lucid. I think it is a waste of time and not fair to my wife. I don't move but recall the dream. Then I really want to be lucid so I try DEILD.

    I see F from work and he has a green laser pointer. He puts it on the wall and makes little circles. As soon as I see this I feel vibrations. This is odd because I went straight to a lucid dream but the SP feeling comes after the dream starts. Plus this time the vibrations are totally different. They swirl in my body in time with the laser pointer. Its like my chest is the center and the vibrations are spinning from the point like a ball on a string. I feel it in my head, then my right arm, then my legs, then my left arm, back to my head. I does this extremely fast. It startles me and I get excited and wake up

    SSILD with counting to DILD At Work 5:00AM ish

    This dream is very dark like poor lighting and the colors are very dull. I am at work and I have my laptop. I am typing out a long post on dream views. I don't know what it said. S. from work is next to me. We are leaning on the long table and I am using it to hold my laptop. He doesn't say anything but is just looking over my shoulder. J. the maintenance man comes by and messes with the outlet. He says he needs to unplug things for a minute. I tell him not to unplug my laptop. He say nothing so I try to hurry and finish my post. Just before I can click "post now" My screen goes black. I say to S, "I told him not to unplug my laptop." I put my head down in disgust. Then I hear some noise like a TV. I look as S he has has a knowing, smiling expression on his face. I look at the laptop and some video is playing. I think about this for a second and I become lucid. I feel a little like a might be wrong but I point a finger in the air and say, "You know what I thing we are dreaming. Watch this." I put the same finger and push it into the laptop screen. The screen is off now. It sinks in a lot and feels and looks very rubbery. The suddenly the dream fades.

    I lie still for DEILD. I feel SP but I get very excited again. I try to fight it but then I ignore it and focus on taking deep breaths. I quickly give up and decide I lost it. But at that point I feel my left hand float straight up. Then, the SP stops. I feel like I am laying there and really but my hand up in my sleep. I fell into a non lucid dream that I can't really remember.


    It was some time later that I woke up. I realized I must have had a false awakening. I reasoned that my body cant move in SP. I should have caught on to that. I should remember that any time there is SP do a RC afterwards even if I am sure that I failed. You never know.

    Wake up time 6:00AM

      Two in one night, very nice! (And almost three IMO.) I know that volcano dream was just a nonlucid but it sounds kinda vivid, especially for so early in the night. My dreams from early in the night are usually really abstract and dim so at some point I may have to try a couple rounds of SSILD before sleep just to see what happens.

      In the 5 AM LD (the DILD after SSILD), you mentioned counting. Did you do it kinda like what I do with the counting backward / MILD mantra thing? Or something else? It's also cool that you pulled off two DEILDs. Although you unfortunately didn't realize you'd succeeded the second time. I think you were really, really close to pulling off a 3rd LD.

      So over time have you come away with any general impressions about what effect B6 has for you? Do you feel that it leads to more vivid dreams and/or better recall? Also, the potassium is interesting. Is that something you take just because of the difficulty of getting enough in a typical diet or are you going for a specific LD effect?

      Yes, I think there is a connection there. I did again last night and woke in less than an hour. I put into my DJ "sensations and same place dream". I'm kicking myself for not being more detailed because I can't remember the dream now. I what I do remember is remembering SP like body sensations. I don't think I was lucid but who knows. I think its worth playing with some more. The rest if the night I sort of gave my mind a rest. I didn't WBTB or record dreams.

      Yeah I was close but I guess I lost focus. I keep my counting really simple to avoid too much thinking. It's always 1-10 repeat and maybe I will put a word in-between each digit like "lucid" or "focus". So its just "1 lucid, 2 lucid", ect.

      The B6 is a very great way to increase vividness and recall. It sort of works for me like a mild stimulant. I think it helps me to focus better.

      I started taking potassium when I was having restless leg syndrome symptoms. It was supposed to help. My RLS seems to go away in cooler weather so now I take it when I have been drinking. I am not sure it helps but there some electrolyte stuff going on there. I have been more successful with lucidity when I take potassium after alcohol. That's probably not the best way to get lucid but I like my weekend drink so... yeah.
