A DEILD Chain and a WILD
I had my second go-round with galantamine last night and I got a good DEILD chain and a WILD off of it! It seems that galantamine provides the most substantial boost to techs in the WILD family. I did hit one lucid fragment via galantamine (which set off the DEILD chain), but it seems like galantamine makes WILDs way more likely.
The DEILD chain included two false awakenings where I was convinced that I was suffering horrific galantamine side effects. It's slightly embarrassing because it shows that in spite of all the research I've put into my approach, there's still that element of underlying anxiety there. But what are ya gonna do? :D I also enjoyed interacting with Wife's DC in the DEILD chain. There was a lot of interesting stuff rolled up in that sequence.
This is the DEILD chain: The Blind Man, the Bully, and the Nerd - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
And this is the WILD: Lost in America - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
As usual, I will wait at least one week before employing galantamine again. (And I must hit a non-galantamine LD in between.)
WILD Winds
It was really windy last night and I could hear the wind outside as I was falling asleep. Just before the WILD took hold, the sound became muffled, then faded to nothing more than a whisper. It seems to be a good indication that things are close. Of course, now I have to try not to pay too much attention to these sorts of signs or my concentration might slip. :)
Temper Flare-Up
I lost my temper in the first dream and totally decked a DC that was harassing me. I really try not to do that sort of thing but it was amazing how easily annoyed I was when this thing tried to stop me from doing what I wanted in my LD. I'll just refocus on staying chill when stuff like that happens.
