I went to bed less than an hour after my last post in this thread to sleep more and to try to have one more LD. I decided to try DEILD so I could have as many opportunities as possible to get a LD. I don't remember waking up after every dream though, so I set my phone alarm to do the work for me. This attempt was both a success and a failure.

My subconscious decided to do me a big favor by discussing lucid dreaming within the dream. As soon as I successfully completed my reality check, my alarm went off. Full details in my DJ. That was disappointing, but I didn't expect to get so close to having a lucid dream before this class ended. The deadlines seem surprisingly helpful!

Now that the class is over, I'm going to experiment with the following:
1. Remember more of my dreams
2. Remember my dreams more vividly (I stopped drinking apple juice this week, so I'll start drinking that before bed again)
3. Try DEILD once I remember more of my dreams
4. Make more specific goals and challenges for myself, to be completed in a set amount of time
