Well the DJ went down again sometime between the time I started typing and the time I hit submit. All that typing gone forever! Bullocks! I guess I will just enter a short version here. This is a good lesson to do it all offline first and then copy/paste. You never know what might happen.

On a happier note, I had Lucid #97 DEILD CHAIN OBE from a NLD this morning. It was an unsuccessful/successful lucid as it was short and mostly blind but I got to try some new things like phasing and different uses of expectation. (I couldn't phase through a door but was able to use expectation to make it disappear.)

I had some really interesting and new things happen with sound as well. During my DEILD I heard a buzzing sound and then the alarm clock. I kept in mind that it could be fake and found out that I only had to concentrate just a little to make it stop for a few seconds. That turned out to be a great reality test and told me it was go time. At a later point I could hear the fan like it was centered the living room. This was an odd experience as the sound changed as I walked around it but I knew that in reality the fan was in the bed room with me and I wasn't really walking around it.

Also, my transitions from physical to dream body seem to be getting quick and effortless so that's a plus. I probably would have continued my chain but I think it was the baby that woke me. Oh well that's life.

The last few days have been sort of uneventful for dreaming. I have had to really work on my dream recall with mantras and I have had to really step up efforts for daytime awareness. For some reason I have just been sleeping so heavy during the night and haven't had a DILD in a long time. There were a few nights that I was almost certain that I was lucid but I just could not remember it no matter how hard I tried. Lucky for me I can still DEILD and WILD.
