Great idea on feeling the blanket/bedsheets. I really like that. I've had false awakenings that turned into lucids where I found myself wrapped up in the bedsheets. I wound up thrashing my way out, although I've since learned that Ophelia's method of just letting them slide off is much better. This means that I clearly tend to include bedsheets in my false awakenings.

So I see two big benefits to your idea: first, it could stabilize the scene and make me lucid. Second, it could also serve as an anchor to hold me in the dream scene in case I experience any sensation of "shock" from suddenly becoming lucid. (I sometimes shock myself awake or into another FA.)

Thanks, Paige!!

Also, I'm now including in my DJ entries:
-When I went to bed and woke up (thanks to paigeyemps)
-What I ate before bed (thanks to Xanous and his "vodka-filled slushie drink", lol)

I've picked up some sort of cold so in spite of getting 8 hours of sleep, my recall wasn't quite on point. I only managed to recall one dream last night and I was nowhere near lucid in it. No biggie, apart from this standing in the way of my September goals. Hopefully I can knock this thing out quick. I'll also do a waking journal today to keep my recall skills firing.
