Total sleep time: 7.5-8 (ish) hours

I did my WBTB for around 45 minutes after sleeping approximately 7.5 hours. My husband was in the bed and my 'lucid hangout' (spare bedroom or the couch) was taken because both of my grown ass sons had come home to visit. I tried to just lay there in the dark and focus on relaxation and good positive energy and I knew this was difficult because my husband snores and moves a lot in his sleep. I truly didn't have anywhere to go and be by myself so I sucked it up and took the situation for what it was. Trying to get lucid with my husband in bed is never easy for me, but I thought since I came this far I should be able to teach myself another person should not interfere...but he kept interfering (touching me, stoking my arm...yea, you know where this is going). I told him "Not now, later." He knows that is code for, "Get the f#ck off of me, I'm trying to go back to sleep and get lucid! I only have a small window of time where this can work!" He understood and rolled as far away from me that he could get to while aggressively throwing the covers over him (yea he was mad, but I will make it up to him ).

Anyway, this is when the magic happened:

While in my third eye concentration phase, I remember my vibes came on very, very strong. I popped out feeling like I was peeled from a boiled egg. Before I could think about what I wanted to do, a strong wind had blown me up into the sky. Usually when I want to fly there is a process. My process is to think about flying, strike a superman pose, and off I go. This time I was not thinking about flying...I was just flying in a bright sky all of the sudden. This is where it gets weird...as I was flying, flowers were flying next to me in an almost geese formation...flapping around and everything. I stared at the flower thinking how they remind me of Magnolias (after all, I do live in the south). The flowers even had the thick green leaves still attached to them as they used these leaves as wings. If I slowed down, they slowed down, if I sped up, they sped up. I was losing lucid energy and found myself back in my body and I DEILD out again. The flying flowers were gone (of course) and I guess that disappointment made me go back in my physical body so I DEILD out again. I knew this was my last shot so I just thought about summoning my spiritual guide from real life. Anyone that knows me know that I'm not that great with summoning but I didn't let that stop me. I called his name and I did manage to summon a shadowy figure of someone holding out his arm...then I woke up. I can't say that is was my waking life spiritual guide, but I felt no fear. I believe that if I would have had more lucid energy I could have seen who it was. During the third DEILD, my clarity seems to get worse so instead of everything being clear, it seems to turn grey and not too long after this I will be in a pitch black void.

I looked around to be sure I was back in my bedroom and there was no need for a reality check...my husband was all up on me. Sigh...I truly wanted to cuss him out.

Always humble and always grateful.
