Yeah... EXACTLY!!

I was completely amazed when it happened... and it gives me loads of confidence, which makes me feel like Ill be able to lucid soon.

And the really weird thing... I said in that last post that I wanted to dream about stop motion animation and it didn't happen... well, for a few nights AFTER that I dreamed of exactly that!!

Not quite the way I wanted to ... I was hoping to get some ideas for future films to make or characters or something, but then I guess I was pretty vague in my request (I actually said to myself "Maybe I can dream about stopmotion animation?"). Instead I dreamed of statues that came to life one night and the next about some people I know from the stopmotion message board I hang out at. Heh... I didn't realize I was actually dreaming about it until I wrote the dreams down and then I started to laugh. It's really crazy how much you can influence what you dream about!

Now I have an idea... sometime soon when I have a day off work and can sleep in as long as I want I:m gonna spend the evening watching some stopmo films and imagine myself in them or at least watching them as I fall asleep. I'll also get out some of my puppets and mess around with them... I'm even CONSIDERING putting a capful of ammonia in my room for a smell cue... it smells like liquid latex, which is what I make puppets form and the smell reminds me totally of animation.

Man, the quest for lucidity is an exciting adventure! With so many great discoveries along the way, even before you attain full lucidity!
