Saturday 29th / Sunday 30th January

Pre-Sleep:
I was very tired yesterday due to the 6 hour sleep the previous night. I spent the evening watching a theatre play my sister was in, then went back to my house. I posted the last two messages just before I went to bed. I knew I should try to think about the concert, but being tired I let my attention settle on a summer camp I went on last year and a girl I met there.

Post-Sleep:
I had a MILD That's the most important news; but I'm not sure whether to count it or not. From what I understand, a successful MILD involves focusing on the dream you want to have as you go to sleep; you then have the dream and become lucid. Well I did it all perfectly, except I wasn't actually planning to MILD at all I'll post the dream below. I haven't included this in my signature yet because I didn't know if accidental MILDs count as MILD or DILD. You can decide, Percy.

Accidental MILD

Non-Dream Dream Lucid

I've been taking PercyLucid's class on MILD dreaming, and one of the points he's taught us is to focus on what we want to dream just before we go to sleep. Well, I sidetracked a little and ended up falling asleep while thinking about a music summer camp I went on last year.

I arrive at the orchestra rehearsal with my cello. I sit on the third desk back with another cellist and play some of the piece that is on the stand in front of me. On second desk is my cello teacher, and on first desk is a girl I met on the summer camp the previous year. After the piece ends I pick up my cello and move to sit next to her. She smiles at me and the conductor brings us in again for another run through the piece. Something happens though - some younger violins have arrived and take my friend's seat. I look where she was sitting and there are now three short violinists playing there. I find this a little odd as violins usually sit opposite the cellos, not with them.

I look to the left and my friend is putting her cello away; I notice that her hair is a whiter blond than I remember it from last year, and also a different style. I then remember that it's January, and wonder why we are having the summer camp now. I then remember that this summer camp and this girl are one of my dreamsigns, so I hold on to my cello with my right hand and pinch my nose with my left. I can still breathe - I become lucid. I don't feel any great rushes of emotion like I used to with my first few lucids, but nevertheless the deram begins to fade. As my vision is turning white, I realise I should rub my hands together, but I am holding my cello and don't have time to put it down. The dream fades completely and I wake up.
