    PreBed: Valerian Root

    Bedtime: 9:30PM

    Try nREM WILD. Close. But I lose it.

    2:30 WBTB - I vaguely recall a dream about a guy at a car lot talking my wife out or working there. Shootings and stabbings. The location was dream familar. I see it from an birds eye view.

    I try to induce WILD with Binaural Beats from my recliner. I found the sound kept me awake and one of the cats kept making noise. As soon as the audio stopped I feel into non lucid sleep.

    The dream is like a TV drama about a boy finding his mom abusing pills. The dad has a break down in front of people at a party. There is an after scene and the mom says shes taking her life in a new direction. Someone tells the son to take his money and fix the window and then use the rest for gas. He continues to tell him the doesn't was this hanging over his head the rest of his life. "Zule" will be with you. (Zule? WTF?)

    3:57AM

    I move to my bed.

    I have another crazy dream about some crazy woman in a tree. She almost looks like Ernest P. Worrell in drag. She is quoting from the bible. Her plan is to crash through a window of a church and exercise a demon. As she is reading the Bible she acts seductive and rubs her legs. It was all very comical. She then leaps onto a zip line and almost crashes through the window but she was too heavy and hit low. She gets up off the ground hurt and says something so funny that I wake up laughing. But I couldn't remember what it was she said.

    4:56AM

    MILD mantra. Back to sleep.

    #122 Startled on the Road

    I am having a sex dream with my wife when I hear some one yell, "OK TIME TO EAAAAT!"

    I have a type of FA here. My wife runs into the other room and says, "How do they expect us to come like this?"

    I reply, "How do you think I feel?"

    Then realize the bedroom door is open and we are visiting. I see her Aunt D come to the door way and pause. I stretch and yaw like I had just woke up. She walks in and adjusts a strange looking box fan. She asks, "How did you sleep?"

    I say, "I slept fine."

    Suddenly I am driving in my car. I can hear a intermittent wind coming from the left window (I think it was actually either my breathing or my wife snoring LOL) I look at the window but it is up. Then, I wonder what just happened. I look to the right and see my wife is not with me. I yell out for my son, "R, are you back there?" Then I realize he wouldn't answer. I ask for my wife, "A, are you back there?" No reply. I feel odd about this so I do a habitual nose plug.

    I blow right through! (The sensation is always so odd) *GASP* "I am dreaming!" It was such a shock for some reason. I either am too excited or I think about my physical body, because I have a FA but I can feel light vibrations. I wait a moment to be sure of things and then I get up. The feeling of it feel about right for a dream. This time the sheet stick to me. I can see fine in the dim light and note the bedroom door. I try to unwind myself but the sheet keeps coming like a roll of toilet paper. I drop it and ignore it. I start thinking about TOTY and how I was going to teleport. I feel confused about it.

    Then I wake briefly. I start to DEILD and begin to feel the vibrations again. This time I let my mind become distracted by trying to remember how this all started. The vibrations left and I was fully awake now. I tried to get it back but I couldn't


    Wake at 5:23AM


    Position: On my back and slightly turned to the right side
    Lucid Duration: about a minute. Too effen brief.

    Tech: MILD mantra "I am dreaming" after several non lucid awakenings.
    Aids: None
    Things to improve: Staying focused on the dream and on the now. Excitement issues returning.

      Nice, dude! You are just getting lucid all over the place. No comment on your theory that the "intermittent wind" might have been your wife's snoring. LOL.

      I think that you did a good job trying to keep this one bundled together in spite of it blowing up initially from the excitement. One of the problems with lucidity is that it is so exciting that you can wake yourself up.

      Hey, so was it Zule or maybe "Zuul" from Ghostbusters? I am one of the few here that might appreciate a good Ghostbusters reference in your DJ, heh heh heh...

      Gah, this has all got me wanting a lucid pretty badly now. Tonight!!

      Thanks. I'm really sad it fell apart so quickly but I think I know how to remedy that next time.

      It could have been my snoring. I have woken myself up before. LOL. I noticed my breathing change a few times when attempting WILD last night.

      OMG ZUUL!
      Perhaps it was. I just spelled it the only way I could think of.

      Zuul grants you 3 lucid dreams tonight.

      Oh yeah? What did you have in mind for a remedy? Just more focusing on the now, as you mentioned in your DJ entry? I do believe that's the essence of stabiliziation. Kind of a "Tibetan Yogas" approach to the whole issue.

      Heh, I love that you are always up to new ideas. I think that's great. Always keeps things moving forward in your LD practice.

      And Zuul's offer is gratefully accepted. I am so ready for a lucid!

      More or less. I want to focus more on visuals in the dream enrionment and keep the dream gently moving vs. looking back. It seems have to keep my subC guessing or I grow stagnant.

      Maybe Zuul is not the best choice. But I hope you have one.
