I arrived home in Chicago yesterday evening after a week in Germany followed by a week in China.

Its a 14 hour time difference between Chicago and China.

I had some nice lucids while away. When you travel east it seems easier to get into the time zone and after a night or two I was able to get lucid easily.

I had a cool WILD in China. It was an OOBE type dream where I felt strong SP and then rolled out. I floated around in the black and then my hotel room rendered around me. I then flew through the walls into other rooms. After about 4 rooms I found a room with a guy asleep in bed. I was laughing while trying to wake him up - I wanted to see if I could scare him as I was flying around through walls like a ghost. I was laughing so much making these stupid "Whooooo" noises that I woke up.

Last night back in Chicago I went to bed at 11:00pm. I then lay in the dark wide awake until I gave up and got up at 4:30am. I know from experience that I have at least another 2 nights of sleepless hell. Whats worse is that the weekend is my "prime" LDing time.

Maybe as I have now had zero hours sleep for over 24 hours I will get some sleep tonight and maybe even some REM - probably not though.
