Sleep Schedule 11:30PM-10:17AM

Times woken up

.........................
I had lots of really long, interlocked dreams, unconsciously tying them together. These dreams themselves felt very realistic, with real life consequences and feelings playing a very large role. Normally, I get the feeling that deep down I know I'm dreaming and will lazily exploit it sometimes, but am too tired to care. This had me feeling repercussions for cheating on a test, and later, killing someone. I felt very much like I had approached the scenario like I would i waking life, and that I had consciously decided to kill him. This was very interesting for me when I woke up, as I felt this monumental relief that I hadn't done so.

Things that caused me to RC (In waking life)
-At least twice an hour for around 12 hours, I did an RC (today)
-I found I was unaware of my body parts (proprioception..? I think it's called that)
-My hands were ice cold, due to lying down without a shirt on and not moving
-Playing a particularily melodious piece on guitar, and getting the sensation that my fingers were flowing across the strings

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO/WHAT I AM FOCUSING ON

-Matte's dream competition that just started
-Even though it's spring break, I'm going to try to get back on a normal sleep schedule
-FINALLY post a long list of dreams I've had since vacation, but have been too lazy to type up
-Get back to doing a 15 minute relaxation period before bed
-Experiment with dream incubation more than I have been...I'm thinking writing a song that will be Oom's (named subconscious), and whenever it's playing I'll become lucid, or he'll show up. I'll also write a detailed description of him and flesh out his personality. I might also draw him, and post the pictures for you to laugh at
