Thanks! And thanks for the advice as well, I'll make sure to do that from now on.

I've got a couple of days off later in the week, which I've earmarked for two prolonged WBTB attempts, so I'm hoping the last couple weren't just flukes and I can pick up at least one from these attempts. With my schedule easing up, I'm not as tired when I get to bed so I can MILD now without getting distracted because of tiredness or whatever.

I've noticed recently, my dreams switching from first person to third person quite a bit. I usually always dreamt in first person so it was a bit strange seeing myself from a far doing dream things.

Sadly, I have no Lucid's to report but some surreal dreams such as playing fetch with a great white shark, and running around telling people that I'm a ninja, which I think Canis inspired.

On a sidenote, one of my friends who I told about Lucid Dreaming, told me that she had "one of those lucid thingy's" and woke up with a feeling of euphoria. So I'm glad I got one of my friends involved in lucid dreaming.

On another side note, I won my fight. All I need now is another Lucid to close out a pretty good month.

Good! Prolonged WBTB opportunities will give you that extra bit of juice that can help you get lucid. You're doing the right thing by listening to your body and tackling these when you're fresh. I sometimes get a little too aggressive and attempt WBTB when I shouldn't. Lucids are mighty tempting things for me!

The 3rd person switch is interesting. You could try integrating this just a bit into your awareness practices. As you reach one of those moments where you realize awareness has slipped, this is when you question your reality. One of the basic things you can check is whether you have a dream body. After that, you can move on to things like whether the world makes sense, the plot you're following makes sense, whether you remember how you got there, etc. But something physical like being separated from your dream body is pretty quick to check!

LOL. That is awesome! You are living every one of my childhood dream jobs, man! Every last one!

Sweet! I am "okay" at getting people interested and non-horrified at the idea of lucid dreaming, but it's very rare that I actually inspire anyone to really put in the work necessary to have a lucid dream. How'd you share LD with her in such a way that she was receptive enough to try it? I'd like to get better at this.

Congratulations!! I'm super happy to hear that! Didn't doubt it for a second. Great work, man. Any chance we can get a fight description?
