Thread: Mydera's Workbook

Last night I read the first couple of chat logs before bed, then went to bed. I have a hard time falling asleep though, so I spent 2 1/2 hours laying in the dark trying to fall asleep. When I slept, I had the following dreams: (shortened versions, the long boring walls of text are in my dream journal, lol)

Dream One: I was watching scenes change, almost like watching tv. Trees on the hwy, a professional lawn mower, and my friend Tracy. It enever occured to me I was watching a dream -_-

Dream Two: I had odd vertical wounds on my sides, and was asking DCs what happened. I was aware that something wasn't right, but I didn't think to reality check or anything... I was just asking people what was up with the weird lines. I end up saving Rini from sailor moon, and finding a baby.

Dream Three: I was at the beach with my family, but my husband moved the car. I spent most of the dream trying to find my aunt (who had my kids!) to tell her the car was moved. I encountered several obstacles, but never realized it was a dream

Then, I woke up before my kids and couldn't fall back asleep despite being extra sleepy because of not being able to sleep. I decide to get up and write my dream journal. I made sure to RC because my kids never sleep later than me, they're usually the ones waking me up! I hung out with my grandma (we live w/ her because she can't afford to take care of herself,) and talked to my kids a bit. After being up a couple hours, I went back to bed for a nap. My nap lasted about 2 hours, taking in account for the hour it took me to fall asleep. I had a long DILD (yay!) during that time:

I was trying to water my garden... at Toys R US, lol. I was having trouble getting water from the fountain without getting water creatures in the water as well. A storm came, and the dream shifted to my old house. Fearing a man was going to kill everyone, I left the house to find him. A centaur in my driveway sparked lucidity. No need to RC, ha ha. I managed better control than in my last several lucids by growing wings and making a weapon, though it's not the weapon I wanted to make. I tried to lock the bad guy in my house, and instead turned him into a sweet old granny and made my "house" my bedroom. I told dream Granny I wanted to see K when she told me it was my birthday. I looked at my hands, changed a ring that was on them, and then found a gift from my mom. I hid the gift from mom hoping to avoid a nightmare. Dream Granny gave me stuff I already own as a birthday gift, and then K showed up. He told me I couldn't lucid dream, but I told him I could and I am, so he said he was happy to have lied (I guess lying by saying I couldn't lucid dream, b/c if it was true I wouldn't be lucid?) Then kissed me causing me to wake up and end the dream. -_-

That was definitely progress because I haven't had a lucid that long in over a month, and the only lucid that was longer than that as probably my very first one. Most of my lucids are a minute or two long, tops. Also I haven't had good control in my lucids since my first, so that was another improvement. Then there's the whole actually doing something in my dream an not just running off looking for K, that I am very proud of. I didn't think this class would start working so well so quick, lol. I'm going to read the other couple of chat logs now.
