A good night of dreaming and many successes last night!

First: Lucid dream #11! (Two chained together, no less!)

Also: First DEILD!

I avoided all of the usual nighttime distractions and got to bed early last night. I had an NLD where I talked to my grandfather for a while. I lost him many years ago so this was one I really enjoyed. I attempted to chain back into it to visit with him while lucid. Unfortunately, an overfull bladder dragged me back into waking life.

I later hit a lucid dream using SSILD. When it ended, I chained back into it via DEILD. This felt almost effortless. Very effective technique, it seems, for those lucids where you're yanked out before you're ready and still have that "groggy" feeling.

The downside was that my recall of the first LD segment took a hit but I still consider this a complete success. I still had four dreams recalled last night, and that's counting the two LD segments as a single LD. This has left me feeling very good about DEILD!
