Morning everyone

First off, i didn't have any lucids last night. What I did have, however, is the longest and most epic non-lucid dream I've ever had in my life. I've written down brief notes in my physical dream journal and will be typing up the full story later today. One interesting point is CrazyInSane's custom alarm technique. The alarm woke me up perfectly, in the middle of my REM period as planned. I didn't move my body at all (perhaps my eyes as a reflex), but I don't think I was mentally woken enough to become fully lucid. Within a minute I was back in my dream mentioned above, I was semi-lucid for about 5 mins but soon forgot about it and dropped back into the dream completely.

Next time I try this technique I'll make sure to wake myself up mentally a little before attempting a WILD.

As to what I was thinking about last night as I dropped off - I was very tired and don't really remember much. Usually, I have have a collection of random thoughts that enter my mind, and as they swirl around and become more and more meaningless I drop off to sleep. I don't really know much about MILD but I tried to give myself some kind of autosuggestion mantra - I don't know whether or not I managed to keep it up until I fell asleep.
