    WBTB WILD-fail B6 200MG

    Weak DILD 6:27 AM

    I am at the hospital after my son was born. I am in a waiting room. There are people around I ask a man some questions and then the falls asleep. I push the man on the floor and say, "That's what you get for falling asleep during an interview." My son got knocked out of my wife's arms when I did that and falls on the floor. I pick him up. He is swaddled and I say, "Look hes ok." For some reason he looks like a plastic doll.

    Now I am laying on a bed. I tell a nurse that my wife and son went home but I wanted to nap for I leave. The bed is next to a nurses station. I try to sleep but get interrupted constantly. There was something about a shirt. And a few other annoyances. I can't remember.

    I see Ann Perkins from Parks and Recreation. She is giving me the eye like she wants me. Then I see Andy Dwyer mouth the words "Go talk to her."
    I couldn't be bothered at the moment. All I knew was that I was supposed to be sleeping. I close my eyes and I hear a voice say, "He's out of touch with reality. His mind is always consumed with reality testing to the point that he doesn't really live his life." I am focused on lying still. I want to say that noting could be farther from the truth.

    Now I am in the drive way of my house. I have the car door open getting my son out. My wife is all upset and worried about him. Then something clicks and I remember that I was trying to WILD. I tell my wife, "It doesn't matter." But I am saying it to myself as well. She fades to the background and I feel half awake and half asleep. I pause thinking. I see a vague impression of my son swaddled. I think I should try to stabilize but at the same time I don't believe I can. I try anyway. I lay myself over him. It's all I could think of at the moment. He dissolves into me. And I fall unconscious.


    NLDs short version

    The power goes out but the TV is on. I see fireworks on TV but the same ones outside. It was suppsed to be in CJ but its my neighborhood. I feel confused about that. We go outside to see more but it stops.

    I have Alice Cooper as my guitar teacher but the guitar looks like a rock band guitar painted black with a ton of buttons. I jam out on it to some Alice Cooper type rock. I have no idea what I am doing but it sounds amazing. I feel dissatisfied and grab a real acoustic guitar and see the floor is disgusting rotted with tons of spiders poring out. I think I should mix up some more bug spray and then fix the floor.

    At my exes house. She wants me to take a picture of her friend starting her car. I can't make the camera work. It is the strangest camera ever. Tons of buttons. A few time I have it pointed backwards. I feel like an idiot. I give up and tell the girls it is time to go. D starts crying and a strange liquid flows down her.

    I was very dissatisfied with that lucid. I would have had a better chance but we got up at 6:30 to go to the parade. I tried to take a lucid nap and WILD a little after two. I woke twice after each hour and could not remember a thing. Tonight WBTB.

      So it sounds like the lucid actually just faded into non-lucidity for you? It doesn't sound like you woke up or you would have really been teed up for a DEILD. Ah well, can't save em all. Lucid's still lucid!

      "He's out of touch with reality. His mind is always consumed with reality testing to the point that he doesn't really live his life."
      Wow, that one gave me the chills. I've heard you say that your DCs rarely have anything interesting to say but you seem to get a lot of really interesting quotes like this.

      A lot of amusing nonlucid stuff all around actually. I was pleased that you got to shove the dude on the floor over nothing and then rock out with Alice Cooper. Real life doesn't offer up these sorts of opportunities, does it?

      Yes for NLDs they weren't too bad. LOL.

      My DCs are always against my lucidity. They either want to argue, make me feel bad for LDing, or try to sabotage me in someway. Really it's just my fear of being ridiculed for it in real life that is coming through. I think that's why I gave up on them and it's mostly just me when I am lucid.

      My LDs have really been crap lately. I am not sure why that is but its better than having non at all. I think a lot of it is I get tired of all the mind exercises during the day.

      Yeah, if you pair this with lack of sleep, it's easy to see how the mind could become exhausted and "overtrained". I'm still trying to figure out the right level of daytime exercises as well, so I really get what you mean. Awareness can be sort of an exhausting endeavor, especially high-frequency awareness.

      It's too bad that there's no simple formula for figuring out the optimal level of daytime rituals. But our minds are always dealing with such varying levels of tiredness, stress, etc. that there could never be just one way that always works. There's probably no substitute for just good old-fashioned record keeping! I'm trying to make these sorts of notations in my paper DJ as consistently as I can.

      As for which rituals to stick with, the heuristic I'm using right now is that I stick with the stuff that's kinda fun and just drop anything that starts to feel like a pain in the ass. Hopefully that's close enough, but we'll see. True "all day awareness" practice exhausted me very quickly, but sporadic bursts of awareness, my "daydream" pseudo-waking journal, etc. feel pretty refreshing.

      I keep feeling like the best thing is more sleep but I know I don't need to tell you sometimes it's easier said than done!

      Exactly! That's why I change it up so much. Besides that I am the type of person that gets bored easily. If I am not excited or if it feels like a choir, it won't be very helpful. I do stick with my basic routine as much as possible, however.
