    WBTB 4:00-4:20A

    1MG Melatonin @ 4:00
    50MG Caffeine, 200MB B6 @4:20

    I tried staying up longer but was really tired

    Slept from 4:20-5:08 recalled no dreams. I remember a fragment about everyone getting lay off at work. It was very realistic as far as the dream scene went. And highly possible IRL.

    Went back to sleep easily until 6:00

    Monkeying Around DILD interrupted - Caffeine

    I am on some play ground. I see some huge swings but walk past to monkey bars. I feel like this is be super easy (lucidity starting). I grip the bars and notice how numb I feel. I go back and forth on them and smile at how effortless it is. Some dude walks up and says something about walking it upside down. I don't know what he is talking about so I just start doing so chin-ups. They are super easy and effortless. I get it now. I see the young man watching me. I say to him, "This is only this easy because this is a dream."

    My son starts crying and wakes us up. My wife takes care of it because she is super awesome.

    I go back to sleep. I am not 100% sure but I think I hit a semi successful DEILD. I remember some OBE like sensations but I quickly lost it to FA. I think because I really wasn't trying.

    I do a nose plug. Did is pass or fail? I can't remember. I enter my dreams on my DJ. Post on DV. Then realize it is time to leave the house and I am late. I go brush me teeth. My wife crowds me and I get pissed at her and tell her, "I love you but I really need some space right now." She wonders off.

    I begin to look at myself in the mirror and notice how odd I look. I think that I look almost childish and like someone else. I get and odd feeling and wonder if I am dreaming. I focus on the mirror and now I look normal. I continue to repeat this several times. Then the tooth brush start feeling like it it fusing to my teeth and I forget all bout the mirror. I soon wake up just before the alarm.

      I was just curious about the caffiene at 4am. Do you use this as a 'kick' to become lucid? I've though about trying this, adding a small bit of stimulant right before a wbtb attempt. Did you drink a cup or coffee or tea?

      It seems to work well as a trigger. I started with coffee but didn't know how much caffeine I was taking. I switched to chopping up caffeine pills. If you look back in my dj to the first of Dec you'll see I had huge success for about 2 weeks. It really is a crap shoot though. You need the right amount to make your mind alert but not so much you get insomnia. Usually there is only an hour lucidity Window so it's really important to get back to sleep quickly and hope REM kicks in fast. I can share more later when I'm not working if you're interested.
