One misunderstanding after another! Steve actually does show up in my dreams occasionally, peripherally, wearing his zoo-keeper outfit.

I'll be slowly ramping it up by a nap at a time and seeing if my core sleep naturally gets less.
Another experiment I suppose.

Sounds like the way I'd actually like to live, if I could sleep at lunch! (Times when I could, and days off now, I do that too.)

I never have nap lucids, do you? Every time: I think about it, realize how soon REM is going to come, get ready--but nothing, I fall instantly into deep sleep, then when I wake up either nothing, or maybe just a vague impression that I even had a dream. It seems like a lot of other people have luck then. Maybe you have to WILD? I don't know; I thought you were supposed to go straight into REM during naps.

I usually have to WILD into it. In some naps I end up WILDing without particularly wanting to. It's like a really deep daydream
But therein lies the problem - WILD's aren't that vivid for me.
Some of my naps just knock me out though, but yes I do have lucids sometimes.

But since I've been napping at midday only, I don't recall having any. I think you have to be doing a very tough polyphasic schedule before you're used to naps enough to have lucids

My dreams last night were fairly ordinary

Big nicknack store
I'm in a big store of interesting stuff. First with my wife, and later with an old friend of mine.
I find a religous book on languages, a cable tying thing (which I happen to need), a puppy, some fish, a teddy bear ... don't remember the rest.

Thumb movement measuring device
I got this device involving two pulleys that you need to push with your thumb. It rates the speed of thumb movement on an old radial number dial. But one of the numbers is broken, so a work colleague is helping me fix it.
